The words "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "intend," "estimate," "plan," "assume" and other similar expressions which are predictions of or indicate future events and trends identify forward-looking statements. Reliance should not be placed on forward-looking statements because they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which are in some cases beyond the control of the Corporation and may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Corporation to differ materially from anticipated future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Certain factors that might cause such differences include, but are not limited to, the following: interest rates may increase, adversely affecting the ability of borrowers to repay adjustable-rate loans and the Corporation's earnings and income which derive in significant part from loans to borrowers; unemployment in the Corporation's market area may increase, adversely affecting the ability of individual borrowers to repay loans; property values may decline, adversely affecting the ability of borrowers to repay loans and the value of real estate securing repayment of loans; and general economic and market conditions in the Corporation's market area may decline, adversely affecting the ability of borrowers to repay loans, the value of real estate securing repayment of loans and the Corporation's ability to make profitable loans. Any of the above may also result in lower interest income, increased loan losses, additional charge-offs and writedowns and higher operating expenses. These and other factors that might cause differences between actual and anticipated results, performance and achievements are discussed in greater detail in this Annual Report, including the Annual Report on Form 10-K, under "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," and the section entitled "Business." Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report. GENERAL Warren Bancorp, Inc.'s (the "Corporation") operating results for the year ending December 31, 2000 (the "2000 period") reflect the operations of its only subsidiary, Warren Five Cents Savings Bank (the "Bank"). The Bank, which is wholly owned by the Corporation, operates as a community bank and is in the business of making individual and commercial loans to customers in its market area. The Corporation recorded an increased profit for the 2000 period as compared to the year ended December 31, 1999 (the "1999 period") primarily due to increased interest-rate spreads generated by higher interest rates in the 2000 period, increased asset levels, a gain on sale of a parcel of land and building of the former location of the Bank's South Peabody branch office, and a gain on sale of a security, which was called. An increase in general interest rates will generally provide increased spreads because the yield on the Bank's earning assets will typically increase more than its cost of funds. This is mainly because certain sources of funds, namely demand deposits and stockholders' equity, do not bear interest, and other sources of funds may not have their rates increased at the same rate as the Bank's assets. Reductions in general interest rates may reduce the Bank's spread and net yield on average earning assets, which would have an adverse effect on the net interest margin and net income. Stockholders' equity increased in 2000 due to increased earnings. This was partially offset by the payment of dividends equal to almost 68% of net income as well as an increase in the unrealized loss on securities available for sale net of income taxes. Future increases in interest rates could reduce the value of the securities portfolio and stockholders' equity. Real estate acquired by foreclosure was zero at December 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999, and nonperforming loans decreased to zero during the 2000 period from $1.5 million at December 31, 1999. Management continues to monitor the loan portfolio closely. If conditions in the Massachusetts real estate market become unstable and values deteriorate, the amount of nonaccrual loans and real estate 7 8 acquired by foreclosure would be expected to increase, resulting in lower interest income and increased loan losses, which could require additional loan loss provisions to be charged to operating income. Moreover, an increase in real estate acquired by foreclosure may give rise to additional charge-offs and writedowns and higher expenses for property taxes and other carrying costs. In 2000, the Corporation paid regular quarterly dividends totaling $.415 per share and paid a special dividend of $.21 per share. Under various stock repurchase programs authorized by the Board of Directors in 1998 and 1999, the Corporation repurchased 25,000 shares at a total cost of $183,000 during the 2000 period. ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT A primary objective of the Corporation's asset/liability management policy is to manage the interest-rate risk over time to achieve a prudent level of net interest income in changing interest-rate environments. Management's strategies are intended to be responsive to changes in interest rates and to recognize market demands for particular types of deposit and loan products. These strategies are overseen by an internal Asset/Liability Management Committee and by the Bank's Board of Directors, and the risks are managed with techniques such as simulation analysis, which measures the effect on net interest income of possible changes in interest rates, and "gap" analysis, using models similar to the one shown on the following page. The Corporation uses simulation analysis to measure exposure of net interest income to changes in interest rates over a one-year period. This period is measured because the Corporation is most vulnerable to changes in short-term (one year and under) rates. Simulation analysis involves projecting future interest income and expense under various rate scenarios. The Corporation's policy on interest-rate risk specifies that if short-term money market interest rates were to shift immediately up or down 200 basis points, estimated net interest income for the next 12 months should decline by less than 15%. The Corporation was in compliance with this policy at December 31, 2000 and 1999. The following table reflects the Corporation's estimated exposure as a percentage of estimated net interest income for the next 12 months, assuming an immediate shift in short-term interest rates: Estimated increase (decrease) in net interest income December 31, Rate change (basis points) 2000 1999 -------------------------- ---- ---- +200 5.9% 3.9% -200 (3.4)% (0.4)% The result is within the Corporation's policy guidelines. Simulation analysis depends to a significant extent on a variety of assumptions and estimates, which may not reflect actual future events. Estimates of customer behavior to changing interest rates may differ significantly from actual behavior. Areas of these estimates include loan prepayment speeds, shifts between adjustable-rate and fixed-rate loans, and activity within different categories of deposit products. Also, the ability of some borrowers to repay their adjustable-rate loans may decrease in the event of interest-rate increases. The following table summarizes the Corporation's interest-rate sensitivity position as of December 31, 2000. Assets and liabilities are classified as interest-rate sensitive if they have a remaining term to maturity of 0-12 months or are subject to interest-rate adjustments within those time periods. Adjustable-rate loans and mortgage-backed securities are shown as if the entire balance came due on the repricing date. Nonaccruing loans are not included in this analysis due to their status as non-earning assets. Estimates of fixed-rate loan and fixed-rate mortgage-backed security amortization and prepayments are included with rate sensitive assets. The following types of deposit accounts are assumed to have effective maturities as follows based on their past retention characteristics: NOW accounts-up to five years; cash manager and passbook plus accounts-up to six months; and regular savings accounts-up to greater than five years. None of these assets is considered a trading asset. 8 9 INTEREST-RATE SENSITIVITY POSITION DECEMBER 31, 2000 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 0-3 3-6 6-12 1-5 OVER 5 MONTHS MONTHS MONTHS YEARS YEARS -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- (Dollars in Thousands) INTEREST SENSITIVE ASSETS: Investment securities, including overnight investments ...................... $ 15,062 $ 4,997 $ 8,631 $ 23,965 $ -- Loans held for sale ......................... 5,180 -- -- -- -- Adjustable-rate loans ....................... 87,972 11,726 39,056 157,778 -- Fixed-rate loans ............................ 2,030 2,662 2,433 35,204 9,471 Mortgage-backed securities .................. 1,018 2,404 4,750 2,769 611 -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- Total interest sensitive assets .......... 111,262 21,789 54,870 219,716 10,082 -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- INTEREST SENSITIVE LIABILITIES: Cash manager and passbook plus accounts ................................... 28,693 28,692 -- -- -- Time deposits ............................... 46,091 15,886 39,975 55,302 -- Other deposits(a) ........................... 12,033 12,032 24,323 87,561 9,818 Borrowings .................................. 5,983 14 -- 2,019 638 -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- Total interest sensitive liabilities ..... 92,800 56,624 64,298 144,882 10,456 -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- Excess (deficiency) of interest sensitive assets over interest sensitive liabilities ...................... $ 18,462 $(34,835) $ (9,428) $ 74,834 $ (374) ======== ======== ======== ======== ======== Excess (deficiency) of cumulative interest sensitive assets over cumu- lative interest sensitive liabilities ...... $ 18,462 $(16,373) $(25,801) $ 49,033 $ 48,659 ======== ======== ======== ======== ======== Cumulative interest sensitive assets as a percentage of cumulative interest sensitive liabilities ............. 119.9% 89.0% 87.9% 113.7% 113.2% ======== ======== ======== ======== ======== Cumulative excess (deficiency) as a percentage of total assets ................. 4.2% (3.7)% (5.9)% 11.2% 11.1% ======== ======== ======== ======== ======== - ---------- (a) Other deposits consist of regular savings, club and N.O.W. accounts. Interest-rate sensitivity statistics are static measures that do not necessarily take into consideration external factors which might affect the sensitivity of assets and liabilities and consequently cannot be used alone to predict the operating results of a financial institution in a changing environment. However, these measurements do reflect major trends and thus the Corporation's sensitivity to interest rate changes over time. LIQUIDITY The Bank seeks to ensure that sufficient liquidity is available to meet cash requirements while earning a return on liquid assets. The Bank uses its liquidity primarily to fund loan and investment commitments, to supplement deposit flows and to meet operating expenses. The primary sources of liquidity are interest and amortization from loans, mortgage-backed securities and investments, sales and maturities of investments, loan sales, deposits and Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston ("FHLBB") advances, which include a $15 million overnight line of credit. The Bank also has access to the Federal Reserve Bank's discount window and may borrow from the Depositors Insurance Fund Liquidity Fund. During 2000, the Bank did not use the Federal Reserve Bank discount window and did not borrow from the Depositors Insurance Fund Liquidity Fund. 9 10 The Bank also uses the longer term borrowing facilities within its total available credit line with the FHLBB. Advances from the FHLBB, other than the overnight facility, were $2,671,000 at December 31, 2000 and 1999. During 2000, the primary sources of liquidity were $19.0 million in loan sales, loan paydowns and amortization of $109.4 million, $31.5 million in growth of deposits, and proceeds from maturities of investments of $34.8 million. Primary uses of funds were $185.4 million in residential, commercial real estate and commercial loan originations, $22.9 million to purchase investment securities and $4.8 million to pay dividends to shareholders and repurchase stock. At December 31, 2000, the Bank had $74,000 in money market funds and overnight investments. The primary source of liquidity for the Corporation is dividends from the Bank. Dividends paid and stock repurchases by the Corporation are the primary uses of this liquidity. From time to time, the Bank obtains time deposits in denominations of $100,000 and over. The following table summarizes maturities of time deposits of $100,000 or more outstanding at December 31, 2000: Within one year: (In thousands) Less than 3 months ............................... $10,518 3 to 6 months .................................... 2,155 6 to 12 months ................................... 5,775 ------- 18,448 More than one year ............................... 10,318 -------- $28,766 ======== CAPITAL ADEQUACY Total stockholders' equity at December 31, 2000 was $37.7 million, an increase of $2.1 million from $35.6 million at the end of 1999. Included in stockholders' equity is an unrealized loss on securities available for sale, which decreased stockholders' equity, of $60,000 as compared to an unrealized loss at December 31, 1999 of $7,000. Future interest-rate increases could further reduce the fair value of these securities, which would further reduce stockholders' equity. As a percentage of total assets, stockholders' equity was 8.60% at December 31, 2000 compared to 8.86% at December 31, 1999. At December 31, 2000, neither the FRB nor the FDIC permitted an unrealized gain or loss on marketable securities available for sale (except net unrealized losses on marketable equity securities) to be used in their calculations of regulatory capital. The FRB's leverage capital-to-assets guidelines require the strongest and most highly rated bank holding companies to maintain at least a 3.00% ratio of Tier I capital to average consolidated assets. All other bank holding companies are required to maintain at least 4.00% to 5.00%, depending on how the FRB evaluates their condition. The FRB may require a higher capital ratio. At December 31, 2000, the FRB leverage capital ratio was 8.68% compared to 8.94% at December 31, 1999. The FDIC's leverage capital-to-assets ratio guidelines are substantially similar to those adopted by the FRB and described above. At December 31, 2000, the Bank's leverage capital ratio, under FDIC guidelines, was 8.35% compared to 8.58% at December 31, 1999. The FRB and the FDIC have also imposed risk-based capital requirements on the Corporation and the Bank, respectively, which give different risk weightings to assets and to off-balance sheet assets such as loan commitments and loans sold with recourse. Both the FRB and FDIC guidelines require the Corporation and the Bank to have an 8.00% total risk-based capital ratio. The Corporation's and the Bank's total risk-based capital ratios were 11.44% and 11.06%, respectively, at December 31, 2000 compared to 11.80% and 11.28%, respectively, at December 31, 1999 for both the Corporation and the Bank, thus exceeding their risk-based capital requirements. 10 11 As of December 31, 2000, the Bank's total risk-based capital ratio, Tier I risk-based capital ratio and leverage capital ratio were 11.06%, 9.81%, and 8.35%, respectively. Based on these capital ratios, the Bank is considered to be "well capitalized." (For further discussion on capital adequacy see note 9 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.) FINANCIAL CONDITION The Corporation's total assets increased to $438.1 million at December 31, 2000 from $402.2 million at December 31, 1999. Increases occurred in loans and were partially offset by decreases in investments and mortgage-backed securities available for sale, and cash and cash equivalents. INVESTMENTS AND MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES Investments, consisting of investment securities and mortgage-backed securities available for sale and other investments, decreased to $65.7 million at December 31, 2000 from $82.2 million at December 31, 1999. This was caused by maturities of corporate notes and paydowns and amortization of mortgage-backed securities as well as a call of a $2.0 million preferred stock available for sale. Mortgage-backed securities decreased to $11.6 million at December 31, 2000 from $14.0 million at December 31, 1999 due to principal paydowns. Future increases in interest rates could reduce the value of these investments. INVESTMENTS.

LOANS AND LOANS HELD FOR SALE Loans and loans held for sale increased by $60.7 million during the 2000 period to $353.5 million at December 31, 2000. This increase is the result of increases in residential, commercial real estate and commercial loans. Commercial real estate, commercial construction and commercial loans typically earn higher yields than residential mortgage loans, but usually carry higher risk due to loan size. The following table sets forth the classification of the Corporation's loans as of December 31 (in thousands): 2000 1999 1998 1997 1996 -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- Residential mortgages ... $ 88,517 $ 52,209 $ 45,658 $ 52,707 $ 66,654 Commercial real estate .. 178,666 167,221 163,154 125,832 107,428 Commercial construction . 14,812 19,590 13,620 19,739 10,742 Commercial loans ........ 41,512 29,446 23,726 22,259 16,458 Consumer loans .......... 24,825 22,548 20,317 20,226 21,564 -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- $348,332 $291,014 $266,475 $240,763 $222,846 ======== ======== ======== ======== ======== Balances in residential mortgage loans increased mainly as a result of increases in interest rates during the 2000 period and an increased mortgage origination staff. The Bank typically sells all fixed-rate residential mortgage loans that it originates to the secondary mortgage market and retains the adjustable-rate loans in its residential mortgage portfolio. Due to this increase in interest rates during the 2000 period, this adjustable-rate portfolio has increased as borrowers currently prefer adjustable-rate loans to fixed-rate loans. Balances in commercial real estate and commercial loans are increasing mainly due to the Corporation's continued emphasis on corporate lending. 12 13 Residential mortgage loan originations increased during 2000 to $74.6 million from $48.5 million in 1999. The Corporation originated $22.2 million in fixed-rate loans during 2000 compared to $24.4 million during 1999. Adjustable-rate loans totaling $52.4 million were originated during 2000 compared to $24.1 million during 1999. The Corporation sold loans totaling $19.0 million during 2000 compared to $23.1 million in 1999. At year-end 2000, the Corporation held $5.2 million of fixed-rate residential mortgage loans for sale compared to $1.8 million at year-end 1999. The following table sets forth a maturity distribution of the Corporation's commercial real estate, commercial construction, and commercial loans as of December 31, 2000. For purposes of compiling this table, fixed rate loans are treated as if the entire balance were due on the last contractual payment date. Adjustable-rate loans are shown at the adjustment period date. Based on experience with such loans, partial or full repayment of a portion of the Corporation's commercial real estate loans prior to contractual maturity can be expected.

Generally, nonaccruing loans are deemed impaired. Large groups of homogeneous loans, such as smaller balance residential mortgage and consumer installment loans, are collectively evaluated for impairment. Typically, the minimum delay in receiving payments according to the contractual terms of the loan that can occur before a loan is considered impaired is 90 days. Impaired loans are analyzed and categorized by level of credit risk and collectibility in order to determine their related allowance for loan losses. At December 31, 2000, two loans were considered impaired and accruing interest totaling $991,000 compared to none considered impaired and accruing interest at December 31, 1999. Loans past due 90 days or more, or past due less than 90 days but in a nonaccrual status, decreased to zero at December 31, 2000 compared to $1.5 million at December 31, 1999. Accrual of interest on loans is discontinued either when reasonable doubt exists as to the full, timely collection of principal or interest or when the loans become contractually past due by 90 days or more, unless they are adequately secured and are in the process of collection. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, all interest previously accrued but not collected is reversed against current period interest income. Income on such loans is recognized to the extent that cash is received and where the ultimate collection of principal and interest is probable. Following collection procedures for loans secured by real estate, the Corporation generally institutes appropriate action to foreclose the property or acquire it by deed in lieu of foreclosure. 13 14 The table below details nonperforming loans at December 31 (dollars in thousands): 2000 1999 1998 1997 1996 ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ Accruing loans 90 days or more past due ......................... $ -- $ 633 $ 163 $ -- $ -- Nonaccrual loans ................... -- 914 475 347 2,712 ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ Total nonperforming loans .......... $ -- $1,547 $ 638 $ 347 $2,712 ====== ====== ====== ====== ====== Percentage of nonperforming loans to: Total loans ........................

N/A 0.38% 0.16% 0.09% 0.76% ====== ====== ====== ====== ====== In addition, at December 31, 2000 and 1999, the Corporation had $9,000 and $278,000, respectively, of loans past due 60 to 89 days and still accruing interest not included above. These loans are closely monitored by management and they are considered in reviews of the adequacy of the loan loss reserve. The Corporation's lending activities are conducted throughout eastern Massachusetts with emphasis in Essex County, Massachusetts and contiguous counties, including those in southern New Hampshire, although from time to time loans will be made outside of this area. The Bank makes single family, residential construction, condominium and multi-family residential loans; commercial real estate, commercial construction and commercial loans; and a variety of consumer loans. 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 dependent on the level of overall economic activity and real estate values within the borrower's geographic area. The ability and willingness of commercial real estate, commercial construction and commercial loan borrowers to honor their repayment commitments is generally dependent on the health of the real estate economic sector, the borrower's business/industrial sector and the general economy in the borrower's geographic area. REAL ESTATE ACQUIRED BY FORECLOSURE There was no real estate acquired by foreclosure at December 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999. Real estate acquired by foreclosure is reflected at the lower of the carrying value of the loan or the net carrying value of the property less estimated cost of disposition. The Corporation had a net gain of zero on the sale of real estate acquired by foreclosure in the 2000 period compared to $514,000 in the 1999 period and $2,000 in the 1998 period.

Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes that the collectibility of the loan principal is doubtful. 15 16 Balances in the allowance for loan losses are determined on a periodic basis by management and the Loan Committee of the Board of Directors with assistance from a third-party credit-review consulting firm. Management uses a process that takes into consideration specific and general portfolio risk, economic conditions and the current regulatory environment. For identified problem loans, whether performing or non-performing and including impaired loans, management quantifies potential losses. For all other loans a grading system is used based on assessed credit risk, and loss percentages are applied to these loans. The loss percentages are determined by reviewing historic loss trends in each grade category and taking into consideration industry and regulatory norms and current economic conditions. In addition to the above components, management applies both a general allowance and an unallocated allowance. The general allowance is a percentage of the above calculations and is applied to compensate for a margin of error. An unallocated allowance that is not attributable to any specific loan or loan grade is also applied. This allowance is based on various factors. Among the factors are: the risk characteristics of the loan portfolio generally; general economic trends; assessment of the current business cycle; credit quality trends in relation to current economic conditions; trends in the outlook of banking regulators with respect to allowance for loan losses and supervisory concerns in general; and industry trends with respect to levels of allowance for loan losses. The amounts of the general and unallocated allowance for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 are as follows: 2000 - $1,538,000, or 32% of the total allowance at year end 2000; 1999 - $1,115,000 or 26% of the total allowance at year end 1999; 1998 - $816,000, or 20% of the total allowance at year end 1998. For purposes of the table on the preceding page, the general and unallocated allowance is reallocated to specific categories on a "pro-rata" basis. Assessing the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses involves substantial uncertainties and is based upon management's evaluation of the amounts required to meet estimated charge-offs in the loan portfolio after weighting the above factors. Because the allowance for loan losses is based on various estimates and includes a high degree of judgment, subsequent changes in general economic conditions and the economic prospects of the borrowers may require changes in those estimates. The associated provision for loan losses is the amount required to bring the allowance for loan losses to the balance considered necessary by management at the end of the period after accounting for the effect of loan charge-offs (which decrease the allowance) and loan-loss recoveries (which increase the allowance). The allowance for loan losses included above attributable to $991,000 of impaired loans, all of which is measured using the fair value method, is $56,000. LEGAL AND OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISKS Various legal claims arise from time to time in the course of business of the Corporation and its subsidiaries. At December 31, 2000 there were no material legal claims against the Corporation. The Corporation is party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financial needs of its customers and to reduce its own exposure to fluctuations of interest rates. These financial instruments include commitments to originate loans, unused lines of credit, standby letters of credit, recourse arrangements on sold assets and forward commitments to sell loans. The financial instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest-rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. (See "Asset/Liability Management" in this section and note 12 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.) PROPERTIES The Bank operates a main office and three additional banking offices in Peabody and two banking offices in Beverly. At December 31, 2000, management believes that the Bank's existing properties are adequate for the conduct of its business. 16 17 The following table sets forth certain information relating to the Bank's offices as of December 31, 2000: OWNED SOLD LEASE LEASE YEAR OR EXPIRATION RENEWAL OFFICE LOCATION OPENED LEASED DATE OPTION --------------- ------ ------ ---- ------ Peabody Square 10 Main Street................................ 1854 Owned - - Northshore Shopping Center...................... 1958 Leased 2005 No West Peabody Russell and Lowell Street..................... 1971 Leased 2003 No* South Peabody** Lynn Street***................................ 1979 Sold 9/2000 - - Lynnfield Street.............................. 2000 Leased 2009 Yes Beverly 175 Cabot Street.............................. 1867 Owned - - North Beverly 55 Dodge Street............................... 1968 Leased 2006 No * Bank has option to purchase. ** The Lynn Street office closed in March 2000 and the Lynnfield Street office opened in March 2000. *** The Lynn Street branch sold in September 2000 (see Note 11 "Related-Party Transaction" in the notes to consolidated financial statements.) OTHER ASSETS Included in other assets at December 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999 are $1.3 million and $1.6 million, respectively, of deferred income tax asset. LIABILITIES Year-end deposit levels increased to $387.0 million at December 31, 2000 from $355.5 million at December 31, 1999. This increase took place primarily in demand deposits, NOW deposits, and money market deposits and was partially offset by a decrease in time deposits. AVERAGE DEPOSITS.

An individual business group's profit contribution to the Corporation as a whole is determined based upon the Corporation's profitability reporting system which assigns capital and other balance sheet items and income statement items to each of the business groups. This segmentation mirrors the Corporation's organizational structure. Management accounting policies are in place for assigning revenues and expenses that are not directly incurred by the business groups, such as overhead, the results of asset allocations, and transfer revenues and expenses. Accordingly, the Corporation's business-segment operating results will differ with other similar information published by other financial institutions. In addition, management accounting concepts are periodically refined and results may change to reflect these refinements. The Corporation has identified its reportable operating business segments as the Corporate Banking Business and the Personal Banking Business. A description of each reportable business segment is discussed below: CORPORATE BANKING The Corporate Banking Business provides services to business customers in the Corporation's market area. These services include, but are not limited to, commercial real estate and construction loans, asset-based financing and cash management/deposit services. It services all loans in its business. 19 20 PERSONAL BANKING The Personal Banking Business provides services to consumers in the Corporation's market area through its branch and ATM network. These services include, but are not limited to, home equity loans, installment loans, safe deposit boxes and an array of deposit services. This business purchases adjustable-rate mortgage loans, home equity loans and installment loans from another business group and services all loans in its business. Non-reportable operating segments of the Corporation's operations that do not meet the qualitative and quantitative thresholds requiring disclosure are included in the Other category in the disclosure of business segments below. Revenues in these segments consist mainly of interest income on investments and gains on sales of mortgage loans and securities. Specific reportable segment information as of and for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 is as follows (in thousands): YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000 CORPORATE PERSONAL WARREN BANCORP BANKING BANKING OTHER ELIMINATIONS CONSOLIDATED - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Interest income - external $ 21,362 $ 11,412 $ 290 $ 33,064 Interest income - internal -- 9,800 111 $ (9,911) -- Interest expense - external 2,221 10,805 94 13,120 Interest expense - internal 9,800 -- 111 (9,911) -- Fee and other income 326 904 797 2,027 Income tax expense (benefit) 2,929 1,655 (1,216) 3,368 Net income (loss) 4,435 2,985 (687) 6,733 Total assets 262,500 167,500 8,100 438,100 Total loans 235,000 113,300 -- 348,300 Total deposits 67,400 317,500 2,100 387,000 20 21 YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999 CORPORATE PERSONAL WARREN BANCORP BANKING BANKING OTHER ELIMINATIONS CONSOLIDATED - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Interest income - external $ 19,076 $ 9,682 $ 229 $ 28,987 Interest income - internal -- 8,963 45 $ (9,008) -- Interest expense - external 1,338 10,367 98 11,803 Interest expense - internal 8,963 -- 45 (9,008) -- Fee and other income 168 807 322 1,297 Income tax expense (benefit) 2,973 1,233 (1,379) 2,827 Net income (loss) 4,459 2,512 (1,507) 5,464 Total assets 237,600 156,600 8,000 402,200 Total loans 216,200 74,800 -- 291,000 Total deposits 39,700 313,700 2,100 355,500 YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998 CORPORATE PERSONAL WARREN BANCORP BANKING BANKING OTHER ELIMINATIONS CONSOLIDATED - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Interest income - external $ 18,029 $ 10,756 $ 468 $ 29,253 Interest income - internal -- 8,746 12 $ (8,758) -- Interest expense - external 1,037 10,923 100 12,060 Interest expense - internal 8,454 761 (457) (8,758) -- Fee and other income 171 763 509 1,443 Income tax expense (benefit) 2,569 787 (632) 2,724 Net income 3,848 1,939 117 5,904 Total assets 221,900 162,500 12,700 397,100 Total loans 200,400 66,100 1,200 267,700 Total deposits 37,300 307,700 2,000 347,000 21 22 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - 2000 COMPARED TO 1999 GENERAL The Corporation recorded a profit for the 2000 period of $6.7 million compared to a profit for the 1999 period of $5.5 million. Net interest income for the 2000 period was $19.9 million and $17.2 million for the 1999 period. The weighted average interest-rate spread for the 2000 period was 4.74% compared to 4.35% for the 1999 period. The net yield on average earning assets was 4.96% for the 2000 period and 4.57% for the 1999 period. The return on average assets and the return on average stockholders' equity were 1.61% and 18.81%, respectively, for the 2000 period compared to 1.39% and 15.26%, respectively, for the 1999 period. INTEREST AND DIVIDEND INCOME Total interest and dividend income increased to $33.1 million for the 2000 period from $29.0 million for the 1999 period. Interest on loans increased to $27.5 million for the 2000 period from $22.9 million for the 1999 period due to average loans outstanding increasing in the 2000 period as well as an increase in the average loan yield to 8.63% for the 2000 period compared to 8.37% for the 1999 period. Interest and dividends on investments was $4.7 million for the 2000 period compared to $5.0 million for the 1999 period. This is attributable to a decrease in the average amount of investments held offset by an increase in the average yield on investments to 6.46% for the 2000 period from 5.64% for the 1999 period. Mortgage-backed securities income decreased to $930,000 in the 2000 period from $1.1 million in the 1999 period primarily due to a decrease in the average amount of mortgage-backed securities held due to paydowns offset by an increase in the average yield from 7.27% for the 2000 period compared to 6.80% in the 1999 period. INTEREST EXPENSE Interest on deposits increased to $12.7 million for the 2000 period from $11.5 million for the 1999 period. This increase was related to an increase in the average cost of total deposits to 3.45% for the 2000 period from 3.31% for the 1999 period and an increase in average total deposits outstanding. Interest on borrowed funds and escrow deposits of borrowers increased to $376,000 in the 2000 period from $315,000 for the 1999 period. This increase is primarily related to an increase in borrowed funds partially offset by the average cost of borrowings decreasing to 3.55% for the 2000 period from 3.64% for the 1999 period. NON-INTEREST INCOME Total non-interest income for the 2000 period was $2.0 million compared to $1.3 million for the 1999 period. The gain from the sale of mortgage loans was $214,000 in the 2000 period compared to $232,000 in the 1999 period. The gain from the sale of investment securities was $208,000 for the 2000 period compared to $17,000 in the 1999 period. The gain on sale of securities in the 2000 period was due to a call of a preferred stock. The other gain included in the 2000 period is a gain on sale of fixed assets of $376,000 from the sale of the land and building that was the former location of the Bank's South Peabody branch office (see Note 11 "Related-Party Transaction" in the notes to consolidated financial statements.) NON-INTEREST EXPENSE Total non-interest expense was $11.4 million in the 2000 period compared to $10.1 million in the 1999 period. The 1999 period included expenses incurred in the formation of a real estate investment trust ("REIT") subsidiary for $196,000. Salaries and employee benefits were $7.1 million in the 2000 period and $6.6 million for the 1999 period. Salaries and benefits increased due to salaries and benefits increases for existing staff and increases in staff. Occupancy and equipment 22 23 increased in the 2000 period to $1.2 million in the 2000 period from $1.1 million in the 1999 period due to expenses associated with the new location of the South Peabody branch. Marketing costs increased with additional emphasis being given to the Corporation's marketing and sales efforts. INCOME TAX EXPENSE Income tax expense for the 2000 period was $3.4 million, or 33.3% of income before income taxes, compared to $2.8 million, or 34.1% of income before income taxes, for the 1999 period. The 2000 period reflects a full year of operation of Warren Real Estate Investment Corporation, a REIT subsidiary. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - 1999 COMPARED TO 1998 GENERAL The Corporation recorded a profit for the 1999 period of $5.5 million compared to a profit for the 1998 period of $5.9 million. Net interest income for both the 1999 and 1998 periods was $17.2 million. The weighted average interest-rate spread for the 1999 period was 4.35% compared to 4.53% for the 1998 period. The net yield on average earning assets was 4.57% for the 1999 period and 4.79% for the 1998 period. The return on average assets and the return on average stockholders' equity were 1.39% and 15.26%, respectively, for the 1999 period compared to 1.57% and 14.79%, respectively, for the 1998 period. INTEREST AND DIVIDEND INCOME Total interest and dividend income decreased to $29.0 million for the 1999 period from $29.3 million for the 1998 period. Interest on loans increased to $22.9 million for the 1999 period from $22.4 million for the 1998 period due to average loans outstanding increasing in the 1999 period despite a decrease in the average loan yield to 8.37% for the 1999 period compared to 8.94% for the 1998 period. Interest and dividends on investments was $5.0 for both the 1999 and 1998 periods. This is attributable to an increase in the average amount of investments held offset by a decrease in the average yield on investments to 5.64% for the 1999 period from 6.02% for the 1998 period. Mortgage-backed securities income decreased to $1.1 million in the 1999 period from $1.8 million in the 1998 period primarily due to a decrease in the average amount of mortgage-backed securities held due to paydowns and a decrease in the average yield to 6.80% for the 1999 period compared to 7.15% in the 1998 period. INTEREST EXPENSE Interest on deposits decreased to $11.5 million for the 1999 period from $11.8 million for the 1998 period. This decrease was related to a decrease in the average cost of total deposits to 3.31% for the 1999 period from 3.59% for the 1998 period despite an increase in average total deposits outstanding. Interest on borrowed funds and escrow deposits of borrowers increased to $315,000 in the 1999 period from $227,000 for the 1998 period. This increase is primarily related to an increase in borrowed funds and the average cost of borrowings decreasing only slightly to 3.64% for the 1999 period from 3.66% for the 1998 period. NON-INTEREST INCOME Total non-interest income for the 1999 period was $1.3 million compared to $1.4 million for the 1998 period. The gain from the sale of mortgage loans was $232,000 in the 1999 period compared to $343,000 in the 1998 period. The gain from the sale of investment securities was $17,000 for the 1999 period compared to $188,000 in the 1998 period. 23 24 NON-INTEREST EXPENSE Total non-interest expense was $10.1 million in the 1999 and 1998 periods. Salaries and employee benefits were $6.6 million in the 1999 period and $6.0 million for the 1998 period. Included in salaries and employee benefits are incremental expenses associated with the expansion of the mortgage origination business. Real estate operations income was $510,000 in 1999 compared to an expense of $65,000 in the 1998 period. This can be attributed mainly to a gain on the sale of a parcel of real estate acquired by foreclosure in the amount of $439,000. Expenses were also incurred to complete the formation of Warren Real Estate Investment Corporation ("WREIC"), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Bank. INCOME TAX EXPENSE Income tax expense for the 1999 period was $2.8 million, or 34.1% of income before income taxes, compared to $2.7 million, or 31.6% of income before income taxes, for the 1998 period. During the 1998 period the Corporation recorded a benefit of $200,000 as a result of a settlement with the IRS in certain tax matters. BUSINESS GENERAL THE CORPORATION. Warren Bancorp, Inc. is a business corporation organized under the General Laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The only office of the Corporation, and its principal place of business, is located at 10 Main Street, Peabody, Massachusetts 01960. The Corporation's telephone number is (978) 531-7400. The Corporation is a bank holding company which owns all of the outstanding common stock of its only subsidiary, Warren Five Cents Savings Bank. The Corporation charges fees to the Bank for providing certain administrative services for the Bank. Such fees are charged on a cost basis. THE BANK. The Bank, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Corporation, is a Massachusetts-chartered savings bank incorporated in 1854. The Bank conducts its business from four banking offices in Peabody and two banking offices in Beverly and over the internet. The Bank is engaged principally in the business of attracting retail and wholesale deposits from the general public and investing those deposits in various types of residential and commercial mortgages, consumer and commercial loans, and various securities. The Bank offers a wide variety of deposit, loan and investment products and services to individuals and commercial customers. The Bank has been a member of the FDIC since 1983. The Bank's deposits are insured by the FDIC up to FDIC limits (generally $100,000 per depositor) and by the Depositors Insurance Fund (the "DIF") for the portion of deposits in excess of that insured by the FDIC. The Bank is also a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") system. MARKET AREA The Corporation's primary business and market area are the same as the Bank's business and market area. The Bank's primary market area is centered in Peabody (where its main office is located) and Beverly, Massachusetts, both approximately 18 miles north of Boston, and includes the other cities and towns of Essex County, Massachusetts. However, the Bank will make loans and provide services to customers throughout eastern Massachusetts and parts of southern New Hampshire. The population of Essex County increased to 704,000 in 1999 from 695,000 in 1998, and median family income in 1998 was $65,200. In addition, the unemployment rate in December 2000 in the Boston labor market was 2.1% compared to 2.6% in Massachusetts and 4.0% in the 24 25 United States. This compares to 2.5%, 2.6% and 4.1% in December 1999 for the Boston labor market, Massachusetts and the United States, respectively. COMPETITION The primary business of the Corporation is currently the ongoing business of the Bank. Therefore, the competitive conditions faced by the Corporation are the same as those faced by the Bank. The Bank faces competition in its market area both in originating loans and attracting deposits. Competition in originating loans comes primarily from thrift institutions, commercial banks, mortgage companies and consumer finance companies. Within the Bank's market area and surrounding communities, there are many competing commercial banks and thrift institutions. Further, there are numerous mortgage companies from Essex County and metropolitan Boston with offices in the area or calling officers soliciting in the area. The Bank competes for loans principally on the basis of interest rates and repricing terms, loan fees, the types of loans originated and the quality of service provided to borrowers. Management believes that through the Bank's various loan programs, it can compete for most types of loans in this market area. In attracting deposits, the Bank's primary competitors are thrift institutions, commercial banks, money market funds, credit unions and the capital markets. Competition for deposits comes not only from local institutions, but from those located in the Boston metropolitan market, through branching networks, proximity to the work place and the general reach of the mass media (particularly newspapers) and nationally with competition created by the internet. The Bank competes for deposits primarily on the basis of interest rate paid, scope of services provided, convenience and quality of customer service. In order to appeal to customers and attract depositors, the Bank plans to continue to offer a wide range of high quality customer services, professional staff, and convenient offices and hours, in addition to paying competitive rates on deposits. Moreover, under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 (the "Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act"), effective March 11, 2000, securities firms, insurance companies and other financial services providers that elect to become financial holding companies may acquire banks and other financial institutions. The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act may significantly change the competitive environment in which the Corporation and its subsidiaries conduct business. See "The Financial Services Modernization Legislation" below. The financial services industry is also likely to become more competitive as further technological advances enable more companies to provide financial services. These technological advances may diminish the importance of depository institutions and other financial intermediaries in the transfer of funds between parties. REGULATION Both the Corporation and the Bank are regulated under federal and state statutes and regulations. The following summaries of the statutes and regulations affecting banks and bank holding companies do not purport to be complete. Such summaries are qualified in their entirety by reference to such statutes and regulations. WARREN BANCORP, INC. FEDERAL LAW FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD. The Corporation is registered as a bank holding company under the Federal Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended ("BHCA"), and is required to file with the Federal Reserve Board ("FRB") annual and periodic reports and such other information as the FRB may require. The Corporation is subject to limitations on the scope of its activities and to 25 26 continuing regulation, supervision and examination by the FRB under the BHCA and related federal statutes. The FRB has adopted risk-based and leverage capital guidelines for bank holding companies. A discussion of these guidelines and the Corporation's capital requirements and capital position is given in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" under the heading "Capital Adequacy." THE FINANCIAL SERVICES MODERNIZATION LEGISLATION. On November 12, 1999, President Clinton signed into law the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act. The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act repeals provisions of the Glass-Steagall Act: Section 20, which restricted the affiliation of Federal Reserve member banks with firms "engaged principally" in specified securities activities; and Section 32, which restricts officer, director, or employee interlocks between a member bank and any company or person "primarily engaged" in specified securities activities. In addition, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act also contains provisions that expressly preempt any state law restricting the establishment of financial affiliations, primarily related to insurance. The general effect of the law is to establish a comprehensive framework to permit affiliations among commercial banks, insurance companies, securities firms, and other financial service providers by revising and expanding the Bank Holding Company Act framework to permit a holding company, such as the Corporation, to engage directly or indirectly in a full range of financial activities through a new entity known as a Financial Holding Company. "Financial activities" is broadly defined to include not only banking, insurance, and securities activities, but also merchant banking and additional activities that the Federal Reserve Board, in consultation with the Secretary of the Treasury, determines to be financial in nature, incidental to such financial activities, or complementary activities that do not pose a substantial risk to the safety and soundness of depository institutions or the financial system generally. Generally, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act: - repeals historical restrictions on, and eliminates many federal and state law barriers to, affiliations among banks, securities firms, insurance companies, and other financial service providers; - provides a uniform framework for the functional regulation of the activities of banks, savings institutions, and their holding companies; - broadens the activities that may be conducted by national banks (and derivatively state banks), banking subsidiaries of bank holding companies, and their financial subsidiaries; - provides an enhanced framework for protecting the privacy of consumer information; - adopts a number of provisions related to the capitalization, membership, corporate governance, and other measures designed to modernize the Federal Home Loan Bank system; - modifies the laws governing the implementation of the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977; and - addresses a variety of other legal and regulatory issues affecting both day-to-day operations and long-term activities of financial institutions. In order to engage in the new activities, a bank holding company, such as the Corporation, must meet certain tests. Specifically, a bank holding company's bank subsidiary must be well-capitalized and well-managed, as measured by regulatory guidelines, and all of the bank holding company's banks must have been rated "satisfactory" or better in the most recent Community 26 27 Reinvestment Act evaluation of each bank. At this time, the Corporation has not determined whether it will become a financial holding company. MASSACHUSETTS LAW As a Massachusetts corporation, the Corporation must comply with the General Laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and is subject to corporate regulation by the Massachusetts Secretary of State. WARREN FIVE CENTS SAVINGS BANK As a Massachusetts-chartered, FDIC-insured savings bank, the Bank is subject to regulation, examination and supervision by the FDIC and the Commissioner of Banks of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. FEDERAL LAW FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD. The FRB has established regulations that require FDIC-insured savings banks to maintain non-earning reserves against certain deposit accounts. FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION. The FDIC insures the Bank's deposit accounts up to a maximum of $100,000 per separately insured account; therefore, the Bank is subject to regulation, supervision and reporting requirements of the FDIC. The FDIC has adopted a regulation that defines and sets the minimum requirements for capital adequacy. Under this regulation, insured state banks, such as the Bank, are required to maintain a "leverage" ratio of total capital to total assets and a risk-based capital-to-assets ratio that are substantially the same as the Federal Reserve guidelines noted above. A summary of these guidelines and the Bank's capital requirements and capital position is given in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" under the heading "Capital Adequacy." The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act includes a new section of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act governing subsidiaries of state banks that engage in "activities as principal that would only be permissible" for a national bank to conduct in a financial subsidiary. This provision will permit state banks, to the extent permitted under state law, to engage in certain new activities which are permissible for subsidiaries of a financial holding company. See "Regulation, Warren Bancorp, Inc., Federal Law." Further, it expressly preserves the ability of a state bank to retain all existing subsidiaries. Massachusetts permits banks chartered by that state to engage in activities which are permissible for a national bank and that are approved by the Massachusetts Commissioner of Banks. Thus, the Bank would only be permitted to engage in the activities authorized by the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act that are also approved by the Massachusetts Commissioner of Banks or otherwise authorized by Massachusetts law. In order to form a financial subsidiary, a state bank must be well-capitalized, and the state bank would be subject to certain capital deduction, risk management and affiliate transaction rules which are applicable to national banks. STATE LAW MASSACHUSETTS COMMISSIONER OF BANKS. The Bank is subject to regulation and examination by the Commissioner. Massachusetts statutes and regulations govern, among other things, investment powers, lending powers, deposit activities, borrowings, maintenance of surplus reserve accounts, distribution of earnings and payment of dividends. The Bank is also subject to regulatory provisions covering such matters as issuance of capital stock, branching, and mergers and consolidations. DEPOSITORS INSURANCE FUND. Deposit accounts that are not covered by federal insurance are insured by the DIF, a corporation created by the Massachusetts Legislature for the purpose of insuring the deposits of savings banks not covered by federal deposit insurance. All 27 28 Massachusetts-chartered savings banks, including the Bank, are required to be members of the DIF. EMPLOYEES At the present time, the Corporation does not have any employees other than its officers, who are compensated by the Bank. The Corporation may utilize the support staff of the Bank from time to time without the payment of any fees to the Bank. If the Corporation expands the scope or size of its financial services business, or acquires or pursues other lines of business, it may hire additional employees. At December 31, 2000, the Bank had 155 employees, 38 of whom were part-time. None of the employees of the Bank are represented by a collective bargaining group, and management considers its relations and communications with employees to be satisfactory. BANK SUBSIDIARIES AND OTHER ACTIVITIES The Bank has six wholly owned subsidiaries. Those with significant activity include: Northbank Realty, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation incorporated in 1976, owned the Bank's South Peabody branch office and land, which it sold in 2000 (see Note 11 "Related-Party Transaction" in the notes to consolidated financial statements.) Warren Securities Corporation II, a Massachusetts corporation incorporated in 1997, owns investment securities that it receives as equity contributions from the Bank. Warren Real Estate Investment Corporation, a Massachusetts corporation incorporated in 1999, owns real estate loans that it receives as equity contributions from the Bank. SAVINGS BANK LIFE INSURANCE The Bank acts as an issuing agent for Savings Bank Life Insurance Company of Massachusetts and earns commissions for selling life insurance and annuities.

An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Warren Bancorp, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2000 and 1999 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2000, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000, 1999 AND 1998 (1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION Warren Bancorp, Inc. (the "Corporation") is a bank-holding company that wholly owns Warren Five Cents Savings Bank (the "Bank"). The Bank operates a main office and three additional banking offices in Peabody and two banking offices in Beverly and also operates a website with online banking capabilities. The Bank operates as a community bank with a primary service area centered in the cities of Peabody and Beverly. This service area also encompasses other cities and towns in eastern Massachusetts as well as southern New Hampshire. It is in the business of making individual and commercial loans as well as offering an array of deposit products to customers in its market area. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Corporation, the Bank, and the Bank's wholly owned subsidiaries, Warren Real Estate Investment Corporation, Northbank Realty, Inc., Northbank Financial Corporation, Hannah Investments, Inc., Warren Securities Corporation II and Peabody Development Corporation. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain amounts for 1998 have been reclassified to conform with the 1999 and 2000 presentation. USE OF ESTIMATES IN THE PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The accounting and reporting policies of the Corporation conform to generally accepted accounting principles and to general practices within the banking industry. 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 dates of the balance sheets and income and expense for the periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are susceptible to change relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses and the realizability of the deferred tax asset. In connection with the determination of the allowance for loan losses management obtains independent appraisals for significant properties as deemed necessary. A substantial portion of the Corporation's loans are secured by real estate in markets primarily in Massachusetts. Accordingly, the ultimate collectibility of a substantial portion of the Corporation's loan portfolio is susceptible to changing conditions in these markets. SIGNIFICANT GROUP CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK Most of the Corporation's business is with customers in Massachusetts and southern New Hampshire. The types of securities in which the Corporation invests is disclosed in Note 2. Note 3 discloses the types of lending in which the Corporation is engaged. The Corporation does not have any significant concentrations in any one industry or customer. 36 37 WARREN BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED) YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000, 1999 AND 1998 (1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - (CONTINUED) The following is a summary of the more significant accounting policies. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS For purposes of the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash and balances due from banks and overnight deposits and investments. LOANS HELD FOR SALE AND SALES OF LOANS Loans held for sale are stated at the lower of aggregate cost or fair value. The fair value of loans held for sale is estimated based on outstanding investor commitments or, in the absence of such commitments, current investor yield requirements. Net unrealized losses, if any, are provided for in a valuation allowance by charges to operations. INVESTMENT AND MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES Debt securities that the Corporation has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity and non-marketable equity securities are classified as other investments and reported at amortized cost; debt and equity securities that are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling in the near term are classified as trading and reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses included in earnings; and debt and equity securities not classified as either other or trading are classified as available for sale and reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported as a separate component of stockholders' equity, net of income taxes. After mortgage loans are converted to mortgage-backed securities, they are subject to these same classification provisions. The Corporation classifies its investment and mortgage-backed securities into two categories: available for sale and other; the Corporation has no securities held for trading. Premium and discounts on investment and mortgage-backed securities are amortized or accreted into income by use of the effective interest method. If a decline in fair value below the amortized cost basis of an investment or mortgage-backed security is judged to be other than temporary, the cost basis of the investment is written down to fair value as a new cost basis and the amount of the write-down is included as a charge against earnings. Gains and losses on the sale of investment and mortgage-backed securities are recognized at the time of sale on a specific identification basis. ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES The allowance for loan losses is available for future credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio. Additions to the allowance are charged to earnings. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes that the collectibility of the loan principal is doubtful. Recoveries on loans previously charged off are credited to the allowance. The allowance is an amount management believes will be adequate to absorb loan losses based on evaluations of known and inherent risks in the portfolio, changes in the nature of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality, specific problem loans, prior loss experience and economic trends that may 37 38 WARREN BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED) YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000, 1999 AND 1998 (1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - (CONTINUED) affect the borrowers' ability to pay. Impaired loans are analyzed and categorized by level of credit risk and collectibility in order to determine their related allowance for loan losses. Management believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate, and it is assisted by a third-party credit-review consulting firm in making that determination. Loan loss allocations are based on the conditions of each loan, whether performing or nonperforming, including collectibility, collateral adequacy and the general condition of the borrowers, economic conditions, delinquency statistics, market area activity, the risk factors associated with each of the various loan categories and the borrower's adherence to the original terms of the loan. The associated provision for loan losses is the amount required to bring the allowance for loan losses to the balance considered necessary by management at the end of the period after accounting for the effect of loan charge-offs (which decrease the allowance) and loan-loss recoveries (which increase the allowance) during the period. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as part of their examination process, periodically review the Corporation's allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require the Corporation to recognize additions to the allowance based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination. IMPAIRED AND NONACCRUAL LOANS The Corporation accounts for impaired loans at the present value of the expected future cash flows discounted at the loans' effective interest rates or the fair value of collateral for collateral-dependent loans. When the measure of the impaired loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan, the impairment is recorded through the allowance for loan losses. Loans are deemed by the Corporation to be impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Corporation will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the original loan agreement. Generally, nonaccruing loans are deemed impaired. Large groups of homogeneous loans, such as smaller balance residential mortgage and consumer installment loans, are collectively evaluated for impairment. Typically, the minimum delay in receiving payments according to the contractual terms of the loan that can occur before a loan is considered impaired is ninety days. Nonaccrual loans, which may include impaired loans, are loans on which the accrual of interest has been discontinued. Accrual of interest income on loans is discontinued either when a reasonable doubt exists as to the full, timely collection of principal or interest or when the loans become contractually past due by ninety days or more, unless they are adequately secured and are in the process of collection. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, all interest previously accrued but not collected is reversed against current period interest income. Income on such loans is recognized to the extent that cash is received and where the ultimate collection of principal and interest is probable. Loans are removed from nonaccrual when they become less than ninety days past due and when concern no longer exists as to the collectibility of principal or interest or when they are adequately secured and are in the process of collection. 38 39 WARREN BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED) YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000, 1999 AND 1998 (1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - (CONTINUED) LOAN FEES AND COSTS Loan origination fees and certain direct incremental loan origination costs are deferred and amortized over the life of the related loans as yield adjustments using primarily the effective interest method. When the loans are sold or paid off, the unamortized fees and costs are recognized as income or expense. BANKING PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT Banking premises, equipment and leasehold improvements are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are computed principally on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets or the terms of leases, if shorter. The Corporation periodically assesses the realizability of its long-lived assets in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of. Based on its review, the Corporation does not believe that any material impairment of its long-lived assets has occurred. REAL ESTATE ACQUIRED BY FORECLOSURE Real estate acquired by foreclosure is comprised of properties acquired through foreclosure proceedings, acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or by taking possession of collateral and is recorded and subsequently carried at the lower of the carrying value of the loan or the fair value of the property received, less estimated costs of disposition. Loan losses arising from the acquisition of such properties are charged against the allowance for loan losses. Operating expenses and any subsequent write-downs are charged to real estate operations. INCOME TAXES Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. 39 40 WARREN BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED) YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000, 1999 AND 1998 (1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - (CONTINUED) TRANSFERS AND SERVICING OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND EXTINGUISHMENTS OF LIABILITIES SFAS No. 125, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, provides accounting and reporting standards for transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities based on consistent application of a financial-components approach that focuses on control. It distinguishes transfers of financial assets that are sales from transfers that are secured borrowings. RECENT ACCOUNTING DEVELOPMENTS SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, establishes accounting and reporting standards requiring that every derivative instrument (including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts) be recorded on the balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its fair value. The statement requires that changes in the derivative's fair value be recorded currently in income unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. Special accounting for qualifying hedges allows a derivative's gains or losses to offset related results of the hedged item in the statement of income and requires that a company formally document, designate and assess the effectiveness of transactions that receive hedge accounting. SFAS No. 133, as amended by SFAS No. 137, Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133, and FASB No. 138, An Amendment of Statement 133, is effective for the first fiscal quarter for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. As of December 31, 2000, the Corporation had commitments outstanding to fund mortgage loans, which will be sold to third parties subsequent to origination as required under contracts. These commitments to fund mortgage loans and the agreements to subsequently sell such loans to third parties qualify as derivative instruments under SFAS No. 133. However, recognition of these derivative instruments upon the adoption of SFAS No. 133 did not have a material impact on the Corporation's financial position or results of operations. FASB has issued SFAS No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities. This Statement replaces SFAS No. 125, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, and rescinds SFAS Statement No. 127, "Deferral of the Effective Date of Certain Provisions of FASB Statement No. 125." SFAS No. 140 provides accounting and reporting standards for transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities. This statement provides consistent standards for distinguishing transfers of financial assets that are sales from transfers that are secured borrowings. This statement is effective for transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities occurring after March 31, 2001; however, the disclosure provisions are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2000. The Corporation has not yet quantified the remaining provisions effective in 2001; however, the Corporation does not expect that the adoption of this statement will have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations. 40 41 WARREN BANCORP, INC.

The allowance for loan losses at December 31, 1999 attributable to $914,000 of impaired loans, all of which is measured using the fair value of collateral method, was $112,000. At December 31, 2000 the Corporation had net deferred origination costs of $514,000, reflected as an addition to the appropriate loan categories, and at December 31, 1999 had $118,000 net deferred origination costs, reflected as an addition to the appropriate loan categories. At December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 the Corporation serviced residential loans for investors of approximately $3,770,000, $3,737,000 and $3,580,000, respectively, which are not reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements because they are not assets of the Corporation. At December 31, 2000 no formal recourse provisions exist in connection with such servicing. At December 31, 2000 and 1999, the Corporation did not have servicing assets. Nonaccruing loans amounted to zero, $914,000 and $475,000 at December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Interest income of approximately $47,000 and $48,000 would have been recorded in 1999 and 1998, respectively, on these nonaccrual loans if these loans had been on a current basis in accordance with their original terms. Interest income actually recorded on these nonaccrual loans amounted to $26,000 and $22,000 in 1999 and 1998, respectively. There were no additional loans considered impaired and performing at December 31, 1999. At December 31, 2000, there were $991,000 of loans considered impaired and performing. The Corporation would have recorded no additional interest income had these loans performed under their original terms. Interest income on these loans amounted to $112,000 in 2000. During 2000 and 1999, the average recorded investment in impaired loans was $887,000 and $1,174,000, respectively. Gains on sales of mortgage loans of $214,000 and $232,000 were realized during the 2000 and 1999 periods, respectively, from the sale of $19.0 million and $23.1 million of residential mortgage loans. The Corporation's lending activities are conducted throughout eastern Massachusetts with emphasis in Essex County, Massachusetts and contiguous counties, including those in southern New Hampshire. From time to time loans will be made outside of this area. The Bank makes single family, condominium and multi-family residential loans; commercial real estate, commercial construction and commercial loans; and a variety of consumer loans. Most loans made 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 dependent on the level of overall economic activity and real estate values within the borrower's geographic area. The ability and willingness of commercial real estate and commercial borrowers to honor their repayment commitments is generally dependent on the health of the real estate economic sector and the general economy in the borrower's geographic area. 45 46 WARREN BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED) YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000, 1999 AND 1998 (3) LOANS - (CONTINUED) In the ordinary course of business, the Bank has made loans to executive officers and directors of the Corporation and its subsidiaries and to affiliates of the executive officers and directors at substantially the same terms, including interest and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with unrelated borrowers. The aggregate amount of these loans at December 31, 2000 was $8,850,000. In addition to this balance, the Bank has commitments to extend an additional $828,000. Activity in these loans during the year ended December 31, 2000 included loan additions of $400,000 and loan repayments of $486,000 and two directors retired with outstanding balances as of December 31, 1999 of $245,000.

In addition, the balance of the tax bad debt reserves continues to be subject to a provision of the current law that requires recapture 50 51 WARREN BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED) YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000, 1999 AND 1998 (8) INCOME TAXES - (CONTINUED) in the case of certain excess distributions to shareholders. The tax effect of the tax bad debt reserves subject to recapture in the case of certain excess distributions is approximately $885,000. (9) STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY CAPITAL ADEQUACY The Corporation is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by 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 Corporation's financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Corporation must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Corporation's assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Corporation's capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. The Federal Reserve Board's ("FRB") leverage capital-to-assets guidelines require the strongest and most highly rated bank holding companies to maintain a 3.00% ratio of Tier I capital to average consolidated assets. All other bank holding companies are required to maintain at least 4.00% to 5.00% depending on how the FRB evaluates their condition. The FRB may require a higher capital ratio. The FDIC's leverage capital-to-assets ratio guidelines on the Bank are substantively similar to those adopted by the FRB described above. The FRB and the FDIC have also imposed risk-based capital requirements on the Corporation and the Bank, respectively, which give different risk weightings to assets and to off-balance sheet assets such as loan commitments and loans sold with recourse. Both the FRB and FDIC guidelines require the Corporation and the Bank to have a 4.00% Tier I risk-based capital ratio and an 8.00% total risk-based capital ratio. At December 31, 2000, neither the FRB nor the FDIC permitted an unrealized gain or loss on marketable securities available for sale (except net unrealized losses on marketable equity securities) to be used in their calculations of regulatory capital. As of December 31, 2000, 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 following table. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes would cause a change in the Bank's categorization. 51 52 WARREN BANCORP, INC.

These rights, which expire in 2009, entitle their holders to purchase from the Corporation one one-thousandth of a share (a "unit") of Series B Junior Participating Cumulative Preferred Stock, par value $0.10 per share, ("preferred stock") at a cash exercise price of $35 per unit, subject to adjustment. The rights will trade separately from the common stock and will become exercisable only when a person or group has acquired 15% or more of the outstanding common stock, upon the commencement by a person or group of a tender offer that would result in such person or group acquiring 15% or more of the outstanding common stock, or upon the declaration by the Board of Directors that any person holding 10% or more of the outstanding stock is an "adverse person." In the event a person or group acquires 15% or more of the outstanding common stock or the Board of Directors declares a person to be an "adverse person," each holder of a right (except for any such person or group) would be entitled to receive upon exercise sufficient units of preferred stock to equal a value of two times the exercise price of the purchase right. In the event the Corporation is acquired in a merger or other business combination transaction or if 50% or more of the Corporation's assets or earning power is sold, each holder of a right (except for any such person or group described above) would receive upon exercise common stock of the acquiring company with a value equal to two times the exercise price of the right. The rights are redeemable by the Board of Directors at a price of $.01 per right any time before a person or group acquires 15% or more of the outstanding common stock or the Board of Directors declares a person holding 10% or more of the outstanding common stock to be an "adverse person." RETAINED EARNINGS At the time of the Bank's conversion from mutual to stock form of ownership in 1986, the Bank established a liquidation account for the benefit of eligible account holders who continue to maintain their accounts in the Bank after the Conversion. Liquidation subaccounts totaling $12,340,000 were established for each such eligible account holder equal to such holder's proportionate share of total qualifying deposits on February 28, 1986. After the acquisition of Beverly Savings Bank ("Beverly"), the Bank established a separate liquidation account for the benefit of eligible account holders of Beverly who continue to maintain their account after Beverly's conversion from mutual to stock form of ownership and the subsequent Beverly acquisition, and subaccounts for each such holder based on such holder's proportionate share of Beverly's total qualifying assets on April 30, 1986. The balance in the two liquidation accounts at December 31, 2000, the latest measurement date, was $1,306,000 (unaudited). Both liquidation accounts will be reduced to the extent that eligible account holders have 53 54 WARREN BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED) YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000, 1999 AND 1998 (9) STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY - (CONTINUED) reduced their qualifying deposits. Subsequent increases will not restore an eligible account holder's interest in his liquidation subaccount. In the event of a complete liquidation of the Bank, and in only such event, each eligible account holder will be entitled to receive a distribution from the liquidation accounts equal to the current adjusted qualifying balance of his or her subaccount, to the extent of the Bank's assets remaining after payment of all prior claims. The Bank may not declare or pay a dividend to the holding company if the effect thereof would reduce capital below regulatory minimums or otherwise violate banking regulations. (10) EMPLOYEE BENEFITS 401(K) SAVINGS PLAN The Bank provides a 401(k) Savings Plan for the benefit of its employees. Under this defined-contribution plan, the Corporation contributes 3% of each eligible employee's W-2 compensation to his or her 401(k) account. In addition, the Corporation matches employee contributions, up to 8% of the employee's compensation, at a rate of 25%. The Corporation may also make a profit-sharing distribution to employees' 401(k) accounts. The plan is administered by a third party. Contribution rates are subject to change. The Corporation's contributions to the plan charged to operations were as follows (in thousands): 2000 1999 1998 ---- ---- ---- Employer contribution.................. $142 $128 $138 Employer match......................... 60 59 46 Profit sharing distribution............ 313 55 -- ---- ---- ---- $515 $242 $184 ==== ==== ==== One of the investment alternatives for the plan's participants is Warren Bancorp, Inc. common stock. In that regard, the Corporation reserved 270,000 shares of authorized but unissued shares for issuance thereunder. TERMINATION OF PENSION PLAN As of October 1, 1997, the Bank terminated its defined-benefit, non-contributory pension plan administered by the Savings Bank Employees Retirement Association ("SBERA") . To terminate the plan, SBERA made distributions to participants computed using interest-rate and actuarial assumptions prescribed by the Pension Benefit Guarantee Corporation. Net proceeds to the Corporation after distributions to participants were $2,547,000. The Corporation set aside 25% of these proceeds, or $637,000, into the 401(k) plan for the benefit of current employees to be distributed into employees' individual 401(k) accounts in January of 1998, 1999 and 2000 (for the years 1997, 1998 and 1999, respectively) as a special profit-sharing distribution. 54 55 WARREN BANCORP, INC.

The expense to maintain that arrangement amounted to $61,000 in 2000, $121,000 in 1999, and $176,000 in 1998. The cost of this arrangement was being expensed over the term of the consulting agreement, which ended in May 2000. Included in the accompanying balance sheets are accrued expenses payable of $156,000, and $199,000 at December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The arrangement is being partially funded by a life insurance policy. DIRECTORS' DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN The Corporation has established an unfunded deferred compensation plan for its directors who are non-employees of the Corporation. Any non-employee director may elect to defer earned fees to future years and earn interest on the unfunded balance which is based on a comparable investment term and rate of interest. This election may be terminated at the written request of the director at any time. The deferred compensation expense attributed to the directors for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 totaled $35,000, $32,000 and $44,000, respectively, and the accrued expense payable included in the accompanying balance sheets for December 31, 2000 and 1999 were $166,000 and $158,000, respectively. STOCK OPTION PLANS The Corporation instituted four stock option plans, one each in 1986, 1991, 1995 and 1998 (the "Option Plans"), for the benefit of officers and directors and reserved 600,000 shares (adjusted for two-for-one common stock split) of authorized but unissued common stock for each plan for issuance thereunder. The terms of the Option Plans are similar and provide for options to be granted at the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant. Options granted expire from seven to ten years after the date of grant. As permitted under SFAS No. 123, the Corporation continues to apply APB Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations in accounting for the Option Plans; therefore, no compensation cost has been recognized. 55 56 WARREN BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED) YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000, 1999 AND 1998 (10) EMPLOYEE BENEFITS - (CONTINUED) Under SFAS No. 123, the Corporation's net income and earnings per share would have been reduced to the pro-forma amounts indicated below: 2000 1999 1998 ---------- ---------- ---------- Net income: As reported..... $6,733,000 $5,464,000 $5,904,000 Pro-forma....... $6,509,000 $5,106,000 $5,272,000 Basic earnings per share: As reported..... $ 0.92 $ 0.74 $ 0.75 Pro-forma....... $ 0.89 $ 0.69 $ 0.67 Diluted earnings per share: As reported..... $ 0.91 $ 0.72 $ 0.72 Pro-forma....... $ 0.88 $ 0.67 $ 0.65 The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions used for grants in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively: dividend yield of 6.18%, 4.88% and 2.80%; expected volatility of 46%, 59% and 44%; risk-free interest rates of 6.3%, 5.7% and 5.6%; and expected lives of five years for 2000 and five years for 1999 and six years for 1998. The weighted average grant-date fair value per share of stock options issued in 2000, 1999 and 1998 were $2.11, $3.39 and $5.47, respectively. Changes in options outstanding during 2000, 1999 and 1998 were as follows: AVERAGE EXERCISE EXERCISE PRICE PRICE PER SHARES RANGE PER SHARE SHARE --------- ------------------ --------- Outstanding, December 31, 1997...... 938,210 $0.50 to $7.875 $ 5.00 (564,350 shares exercisable) Granted during 1998................. 202,500 $11.875 to $14.375 $12.81 Exercised during 1998...............

The cash sales price of $675,000 resulted in a gain of $376,000. The transaction was completed and transfer of title occurred in September 2000. See "Non-Interest Income" under "Results of Operations - 2000 Compared to 1999" and Note 4 "Banking Premises and Equipment" above. (12) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK, COMMITMENTS, AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES The Corporation is party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financial needs of its customers and to reduce its own exposure to fluctuations of interest rates. These financial instruments include commitments to originate loans, unused lines of credit, standby letters of credit, recourse arrangements on sold assets and forward commitments to sell loans. The financial instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest-rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. The contract or notional amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Corporation has in particular classes of financial instruments. The Corporation's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for loan commitments, standby letters of credit and recourse arrangements is represented by the contractual amount of these instruments. The Corporation uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. For forward commitments to sell loans, the contract or notional amounts do not represent exposure to credit loss. The Corporation controls the credit risk on its forward commitments through credit approvals, limits and monitoring procedures. 57 58 WARREN BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED) YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000, 1999 AND 1998 (12) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK, COMMITMENTS, AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES - (CONTINUED) Financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk at December 31 are as follows: CONTRACT AMOUNT ------------------ (IN THOUSANDS) 2000 1999 -------- -------- Financial Instruments Whose Contract Amounts Represent Credit Risk: Commitments to originate loans .......................... $ 37,701 $ 16,573 Unused lines of credit .................................. 48,417 36,551 Standby letters of credit ............................... 3,375 1,695 Unadvanced portions of construction loans ............... 24,710 17,625 Loans sold with recourse ................................ 899 962 Financial Instruments Whose Contract Amounts Exceed the Amount of Credit Risk: Forward commitments to sell loans ....................... $ 6,978 $ 3,294 Commitments to originate loans, unused lines of credit, and unadvanced portions of construction loans 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 of a fee. Since some of the commitments may 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 on management's credit evaluation of the borrower. Collateral held varies but may include single family houses, inventory, property, plant and equipment, and income-producing properties. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance by a customer to a third party. These guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements, bond financing, and similar transactions. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that in extending loan facilities to customers. Forward commitments to sell loans are contracts which the Corporation enters into for the purpose of reducing the interest rate risk associated with originating loans for sale. In order to fulfill a forward commitment, the Corporation typically receives cash to be exchanged for the loans at a specified price at a future date agreed to by both parties. Risk may arise from the possible inability of the Corporation to deliver the loans specified on the commitment. Unrealized gains and losses on contracts used to hedge the Corporation's closed loans and pipeline of loans expected to close are considered in determining the lower of cost or market value of loans held for sale. 58 59 WARREN BANCORP, INC.

The amount of this reserve requirement included in cash and due from banks was $4.0 million at December 31, 2000. There were no material legal claims against the Corporation at December 31, 2000.

AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED) YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000, 1999 AND 1998 (15) FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The Corporation estimates the fair value of its financial instruments at a discrete point in time based on relevant market information and information about the financial instruments. Because no active market exists for a portion of those financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgment regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments, and other factors. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates. Fair value estimates are based on existing on- and off-balance sheet financial instruments without attempting to estimate the value of anticipated future business and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments. In addition, the tax ramifications related to the realization of unrealized gains and losses can have a significant effect on fair value estimates and have not been considered in the estimates. CASH AND DUE FROM BANKS, ACCRUED INTEREST RECEIVABLE, ACCRUED INTEREST PAYABLE AND OTHER BORROWED FUNDS Cash and due from banks, accrued interest receivable, accrued interest payable, and other borrowed funds are short-term in nature and are not subject to material interest rate changes which would result in a material difference between fair value and book value. In addition, an adjustment to fair value for credit risk is not considered necessary because of the current financial status of the various counterparties. The book value of these financial instruments is representative of their fair value. INVESTMENT SECURITIES U.S. Treasury and Government Agency securities, mortgage-backed securities, money market funds and overnight investments, fixed income mutual funds and common and preferred stock are actively traded in a secondary market. Published investment securities market values are used as fair value for most of these securities. Refer to Note 2 for the fair value of these securities. Stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank and the Depositors Insurance Fund Liquidity Fund are not traded in a secondary market. Based upon the characteristics of these securities, however, book value is a reasonable estimate of fair value. LOANS Fair value of loans is estimated for portfolios of loans with similar financial characteristics. Loans are segregated by type such as residential mortgage, commercial real estate, commercial, and consumer. 63 64 WARREN BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED) YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000, 1999 AND 1998 (15) FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS - (CONTINUED) The fair value of fixed-rate residential mortgage loans is primarily based upon secondary market rates for mortgage-backed securities consisting of mortgages similar in nature to the loans included in the Bank's residential mortgage loan portfolio. The fair value of all other types of loans is estimated by discounting contractual cash flows using estimated market discount rates which reflect the interest rate and credit risk inherent in the loans. The discount rate used in the fair value estimation reflects rates that are available to customers who meet the Bank's underwriting standards. Management has made estimates of fair value of loans that it believes are reasonable. However, because there is no market for many of the types of loans, management has no basis to determine whether the fair value presented would be indicative of the value negotiated in an actual sale. DEPOSIT LIABILITIES AND ESCROW DEPOSITS OF BORROWERS The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity such as savings deposits, non-interest deposits and escrow deposits of borrowers is equal to the book value of these accounts. The fair value of time deposits (including retirement time deposits) is based upon the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate has been estimated using the rates offered for deposits of a similar remaining maturity as of December 31, 2000 and 1999. Early withdrawal assumptions, based on the Bank's experience, do not materially affect the estimation of fair value. FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK ADVANCES The fair value of Federal Home Loan Bank advances is based upon the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate is estimated using the rates for advances of a similar remaining maturity as of December 31, 2000 and 1999. OFF-BALANCE SHEET FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The fair value of the Corporation's commitments to extend credit is estimated using fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties' credit standing. The fair value of the Corporation's commitments to sell loans is based on current market prices. At December 31, 2000 and 1999, management has estimated the fair values of these financial instruments to be immaterial. 64 65 WARREN BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED) YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000, 1999 AND 1998 (15) FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS - (CONTINUED) The estimated fair values of the Corporation's financial instruments at December 31 are as follows (in thousands): 2000 1999 ---- ---- BOOK ESTIMATED BOOK ESTIMATED VALUE FAIR VALUE VALUE FAIR VALUE ----- ---------- ----- ---------- Financial assets: Cash and due from banks ........ $ 13,669 $ 13,669 $ 9,251 $ 9,251 Money market funds and overnight investments ................. 74 74 12,205 12,205 Investment securities .......... 58,696 58,696 75,363 75,363 Loans held for sale ............ 5,180 5,219 1,816 1,829 Loans, net ..................... 343,551 342,126 286,743 281,782 Other investments .............. 7,044 7,284 6,794 7,034 Financial liabilities: Non-time deposits .............. 229,793 229,793 192,947 192,947 Time deposits .................. 157,254 156,880 162,587 161,725 FHLB borrowings ................ 2,671 2,658 2,671 2,564 Repurchase agreements .......... 5,983 5,983 4,839 4,839 (16) BUSINESS SEGMENTS For internal reporting, planning and business purposes, the Corporation segments its operations into distinct business groups. An individual business group's profit contribution to the Corporation as a whole is determined based upon the Corporation's profitability reporting system which assigns capital and other balance sheet items and income statement items to each of the business groups. This segmentation mirrors the Corporation's organizational structure. Management accounting policies are in place for assigning revenues and expenses that are not directly incurred by the business groups, such as overhead, the results of asset allocations, and transfer revenues and expenses. Accordingly, the Corporation's business-segment operating results will differ with other similar information published by other financial institutions. In addition, management accounting concepts are periodically refined and results may change to reflect these refinements. SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, establishes standards for reporting operating segments of a business enterprise. The rules establish standards for public companies relating to the reporting of financial and descriptive information about their operating segments in financial statements. Operating segments are components of an enterprise which are evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Corporation's chief operating decision maker is the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation. SFAS No. 131 has no effect on the Corporation's primary financial statements, but does result in the disclosure of segment information contained herein. 65 66 WARREN BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED) YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000, 1999 AND 1998 (16) BUSINESS SEGMENTS - (CONTINUED) The Corporation has identified its reportable operating business segments as the Corporate Banking Business and the Personal Banking Business. A description of each reportable business segment is discussed below: CORPORATE BANKING The Corporate Banking Business provides services to business customers in the Corporation's market area. These services include, but are not limited to, commercial real estate and construction loans, asset-based financing and cash management/deposit services. It services all loans in its business. PERSONAL BANKING The Personal Banking Business provides services to consumers in the Corporation's market area through its branch and ATM network. These services include, but are not limited to, home equity loans, installment loans, safe deposit boxes and an array of deposit services. This business purchases adjustable-rate mortgage loans, home equity loans and installment loans from another business group and services all loans in its business. Non-reportable operating segments of the Corporation's operations that do not meet the qualitative and quantitative thresholds requiring disclosure are included in the Other category in the disclosure of business segments below.
