LSB CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2003
(UNAUDITED)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
LSB Corporation (the "Corporation" or the "Company") is a Massachusetts
corporation and the holding company of the wholly-owned subsidiary Lawrence
Savings Bank (the "Bank") a state-chartered Massachusetts savings bank. The
Corporation was organized by the Bank on July 1, 2001 to be a bank holding
company and to acquire all of the capital stock of the Bank. The Consolidated
Financial Statements presented herein reflect the accounts of the Corporation
and its predecessor, Lawrence Savings Bank.
The Corporation is supervised by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System ("FRB"), and it is also subject to the jurisdiction of the Massachusetts
Division of Banks, while the Bank is subject to the regulations of, and periodic
examination by, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") and the
Massachusetts Division of Banks. The Bank's deposits are insured by the Bank
Insurance Fund of the FDIC up to $100,000 per account, as defined by the FDIC,
and the Depositors Insurance Fund ("DIF") for customer deposit amounts in excess
of $100,000. The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of LSB
Corporation and its wholly-owned consolidated subsidiary, Lawrence Savings Bank,
and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Shawsheen Security Corporation, Shawsheen
Security Corporation II, Pemberton Corporation, and Spruce Wood Realty Trust.
All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation. The Company has one reportable operating segment. Certain amounts
in prior periods have been re-classified to conform to the current presentation.
The LSB Corporation's Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America. Accordingly, management is required to make estimates and assumptions
that affect amounts reported in the balance sheets and statements of operations.
Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates and judgments.
Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to change relate to the
allowance for loan losses, income taxes and mortgage servicing rights.
The interim results of consolidated operations are not necessarily indicative of
the results for any future interim period or for the entire year. These interim
Consolidated Financial Statements do not include all disclosures associated with
annual financial statements and, accordingly, should be read in conjunction with
the annual Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes included in
the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K as of and for the year ended December
31, 2002 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
2. STOCK OPTIONS
The Corporation measures compensation cost for stock-based plans using the
intrinsic value method. The intrinsic value method measures compensation cost,
if any, as the fair market value of the Company's stock at the grant date over
the exercise price. All options granted have an exercise price equivalent to the
fair market value at the date of grant and, accordingly, no compensation cost
has been recorded. If the fair value based method of accounting for stock
options had been used, the Company's net income and earnings per share would
have been reduced to the proforma amounts for the quarters ended March 31, and
are presented in the table which follows:
2003 2002

3. RECENT ACCOUNTING DEVELOPMENTS
In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148 Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation - Transition and Disclosure. SFAS 148 amends SFAS No. 123, to
provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair
value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation.
Companies are able to eliminate a "ramp-up" effect that the SFAS No. 123
transition rule creates in the year of adoption. Companies can choose to elect a
method that will provide for comparability amongst years reported. In addition,
this Statement amends the disclosure requirement of Statement 123 to require
prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the
fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and
the effect of the method used on reported results.
In April 2003, the FASB announced it will issue new rules requiring all
companies to expense the value of employee stock options. Companies will be
required to measure the cost according to the fair value of the options at the
grant date. The FASB has not yet clarified how the fair value of the options is
to be determined. The FASB plans to issue an exposure draft later this year that
could become effective in 2004.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
The Company has made forward-looking statements (within the meaning of Section
27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities and Exchange
Act of 1934 as amended) in this document that are subject to risks and
uncertainties. Forward-looking statements include information concerning
possible or assumed future results of operations of the Company, projected or
anticipated benefits or events related to other future developments involving
the Company or the industry in which it operates. When verbs in the present
tense such as "believes", "expects", "seeks", "anticipates", "continues",
"attempts", or similar expressions are used, forward-looking statements are
being made. Stockholders should note that many factors, some of which are
discussed elsewhere in this document and in the documents which we incorporate
by reference, could affect the future financial results of the Company and could
cause the results to differ materially from those expressed in or incorporated
by reference in this document. Those factors include fluctuations in interest
rates, inflation, government regulations and economic conditions and
competition, as well as, possible infrastructure disruptions due to weather,
terrorist activity, computer capacity overload or other factors in the
geographic and business areas in which the Company conducts its operations. As a
result of such risks and uncertainties, the Company's actual results may differ
materially from such forward-looking statements. The Company does not undertake,
and specifically disclaims any obligation to publicly release revisions to any
such forward-looking statements to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or
unanticipated events or circumstances after the date of such statements.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
OVERVIEW
The Company has maintained risk assets below 1% of total assets for the past
several years. The Company maintains its commitment to servicing the needs of
the local community in the Merrimack Valley area. The Company had total assets
of $435.8 million at March 31, 2003 compared to $439.1 million at December 31,
2002. The decrease in asset size at March 31, 2003 from December 31, 2002 is due
to the pay down of $3.0 million in borrowed funds as these became due. The cash
used came from the payoff of loans which decreased the loan portfolios by $14.4
million. The additional cash was used to purchase investment securities and
Federal funds.
INVESTMENTS
The investment securities portfolio totaled $169.9 million or 39.0% of total
assets at March 31, 2003, compared to $166.4 million, or 37.9% of total assets
at December 31, 2002, an increase of $3.5 million from year-end. The change in
mix in the investment securities portfolio was the result of maturities in U.S.
Treasury obligations, U.S. Government Agency obligations and Commercial Paper
included in Corporate obligations. Funds were reinvested in Mortgage-backed
Securities ("MBS") and Collateralized Mortgage obligations ("CMO"). All CMO's
are included in the Asset-backed Securities category. The increase in investment
securities was the result of the utilization of excess funds from loan payoffs.
Federal funds increased by $8.9 million.

Total loans decreased to $228.7 million or 52.5% of total assets at March 31,
2003 from $243.1 million or 55.4% of total assets at December 31, 2002. The
residential mortgage loan balances have declined due to the current low interest
rate environment in which mortgage borrowers are refinancing existing mortgages
and sales into the secondary market. Commercial real estate loans have declined
due to payoffs.

The balance of the allowance for loan losses reflects management's assessment of
losses and is based on a review of the risk characteristics of the loan
portfolio. The Company considers many factors in determining the adequacy of the
allowance for loan losses. Collateral value on a loan by loan basis, trends of
loan delinquencies on a portfolio segment level, risk classification identified
in the Company's regular review of individual loans, and economic conditions are
primary factors in establishing allowance levels. Management believes the
allowance level is adequate to absorb estimated credit losses associated with
the loan and lease portfolio, including all binding commitments to lend and
off-balance sheet credit instruments. The allowance for loan losses reflects
information available to management at the end of each period.
RISK ASSETS
Risk assets consist of non-performing loans and other real estate owned.
Non-performing loans consist of both a) loans 90 days or more past due, and b)
loans placed on non-accrual because full collection of the principal balance is
in doubt. Other real estate owned (OREO) is comprised of foreclosed properties
where the Company has formally received title or has possession of the
collateral. Properties are carried at the lower of the investment in the related
loan or the estimated fair value of the property or collateral less selling
costs. Fair value of such property or collateral is determined based upon
independent appraisals and other relevant factors. Management periodically
reviews property values and makes adjustments as required. Gains from sales of
properties, net operating expenses and any subsequent provisions to increase the
allowance for losses on real estate acquired by foreclosure are charged to other
real estate owned expenses. Losses are charged to the allowance.
Total risk assets were $32 thousand at March 31, 2003. This represents an
increase of $19 thousand from December 31, 2002 and an increase of $3 thousand
from March 31, 2002. These changes were primarily attributable to an increase in
non-performing loans to $23 thousand at March 31, 2003 from $1 thousand at
December 31, 2002 and $10 thousand at March 31, 2002. The Company had no
impaired loans at March 31, 2003, December 31, 2002 and March 31, 2002,
respectively.
The following table summarizes the Company's risk assets for the period ended

Included in the certificates of deposit at March 31, 2003 were brokered deposits
of $2.0 million. The change from December 31, 2002 is due to a decrease in
certificates of deposit and an increase in NOW accounts. Although the total
balance of interest bearing deposits remained fairly level, the mix of deposits
has changed from higher interest bearing accounts to lower interest bearing
accounts.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2003 AND 2002
OVERVIEW
The Company reported net income of $550 thousand or $0.13 diluted earnings per
share and $816 thousand or $0.18 diluted earnings per share for the three months
ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The decrease in net income is
primarily attributable to a decrease in net interest income of $55 thousand, a
decrease in non-interest income of $149 thousand and an increase of $213
thousand in non-interest expenses.
NET INTEREST INCOME FROM OPERATIONS
Net interest income for both the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 was
$3.3 million. The net interest rate spread increased to 2.79% for the quarter
ended March 31, 2003 from 2.74% for the same quarter of 2002. Interest income in
the first quarter of 2003 experienced an overall decrease due to a declining
interest rate environment on interest earning assets and a change in the asset
mix from the first quarter of 2002. Interest expense incurred a similar decline
in interest rates resulting in lower rates paid on deposits and borrowed funds;
however, the rates paid on borrowed funds have declined at a slower pace than
deposit rates.

INTEREST INCOME
Interest income for the first quarter of 2003 was $5.7 million as compared to
$6.4 million for the same quarter of 2002. The decrease of $759 thousand in
interest income is due to $760 thousand from lower yields earned on loans and
investment securities. The decrease in interest income due to lower yields was
coupled with lower average balances in investment securities, which decreased
interest income by $32 thousand. Partially offsetting these declines were higher
loan average balances which increased interest income by $33 thousand.
Yields on loans were 6.83% and 7.42% for the quarters ended March 31, 2003 and
2002, respectively. The impact to interest income due to lower yields was $341
thousand. Higher average loan balances of $234.6 million versus $232.6 million
for the quarters ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively, increased interest
income by $33 thousand.
Yields on investment securities were 3.74% and 4.63% for the quarters ended
March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively, decreasing interest income by $419
thousand. Lower average investment securities balances of $186.0 million versus
$189.5 million for the same periods decreased interest income by $32 thousand.
INTEREST EXPENSE
Interest expense for the first quarter of 2003 totaled $2.4 million, a decrease
of $704 thousand from the same quarter of 2002. This decrease is primarily due
to lower rates paid on interest bearing liabilities, which impacted interest
expense by $609 thousand. Lower average balances in borrowed funds resulted in a
$132 thousand decrease to interest expense; while higher average balances in
deposits contributed $37 thousand to interest expense.
Rates on deposits were 1.76% and 2.52% for the quarters ended March 31, 2003 and
2002, respectively. This decrease resulted in interest expense decreasing by
$481 thousand. Average deposit balances were $264.7 million versus $256.2
million for the same periods, which resulted in a $37 thousand increase to
interest expense.
Rates on FHLB advances were 5.19% and 5.59% for the first quarters of 2003 and
2002, respectively. The decrease in rates paid on FHLB advances resulted in
interest expense decreasing by $101 thousand. The average balances of FHLB
advances decreased from quarter to quarter for the same periods to $93.9 million
in the first quarter 2003 from $102.4 million for the first quarter of 2002,
which resulted in a decrease in interest expense of $108 thousand.
Rates on repurchase agreements and other borrowed funds were 3.36% and 4.64% for
the first quarters of 2003 and 2002, respectively. The decrease in rates paid on
these interest bearing liabilities resulted in interest expense decreasing by
$27 thousand. The average balance decreased to $5.5 million in 2003 from $8.5
million in 2002, which decreased interest expense by $24 thousand.
15
PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES
The provision for loan losses was zero for the quarters ended March 31, 2003 and
2002, respectively. The absence of a provision for loan losses was based on
management's assessment of the adequacy of the allowance based on an evaluation
of the Bank's loan portfolio.
NON-INTEREST INCOME
Non-interest income amounted to $280 thousand and $429 thousand for the quarters
ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The decrease in non-interest income
was primarily due to a decline in loan fees to a loss of $130 thousand in 2003
compared to income of $76 thousand in 2002. The loss in loan fees can be
attributed to provisions for losses on mortgage servicing rights ("MSR's") of
$229 thousand in the first quarter of 2003 due to higher than normal prepayment
speeds used in the fair value calculation of MSR's caused by the current low
interest rate environment on mortgage loans. This decline was partially offset
by deposit account fees increasing by $7 thousand, other income by $12 thousand
and gains on the sale of mortgage loans by $38 thousand for the first quarter of
2003 from the same period in 2002.
NON-INTEREST EXPENSE
Non-interest expense totaled $2.7 million and $2.5 million for the quarters
ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Salaries and employee benefits
increased by $114 thousand in the first quarter 2003 compared to the first
quarter in 2002 mainly due to pension expense associated with the employees
defined benefit plan and normal raises. Occupancy and equipment expenses totaled
$220 thousand in 2003, an increase of $21 thousand over 2002 due to building
maintenance and repairs expenses increasing due to snow plowing. Professional
expenses increased to $201 thousand in the first quarter 2003 compared to $147
thousand in the same period in 2002. The increase was due to increased legal
expenses associated with collection efforts on amounts due the Bank. Data
processing expenses increased to $181 thousand in the first quarter of 2003
compared to $163 thousand in the same quarter in 2002. Other expenses rose
slightly to $419 thousand in 2003 from $413 thousand in 2002.
INCOME TAXES
The Company reported an income tax expense of $321 thousand for the quarter
ended March 31, 2003 or an effective income tax rate of 36.9%. This compares to
an income tax expense of $472 thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 2002 or
effective income tax expense of 36.6%, which was fairly consistent with 2003.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's primary source of funds is cash dividends from its wholly-owned
subsidiary, Lawrence Savings Bank (the "Bank"). The Bank paid dividends to the
Company in the amount of $500 thousand and $1.0 million during the first three
months of 2003 and 2002, respectively. The Company made payments of dividends to
shareholders in the amount of $505 thousand and $482 thousand in the first
quarters of 2003 and 2002, respectively.
The Bank's primary sources of funds include collections of principal payments
and repayments on outstanding loans, increases in deposits, advances from the
Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston (FHLB) and securities sold under agreements to
repurchase. The Bank has a line of credit of $6.8 million with the FHLB. The
Bank also has a $5 million unsecured Federal Funds line of credit.
At March 31, 2003, the Company's stockholder's equity was $53.3 million as
compared to $54.1 million at December 31, 2002. The change during the first
three months of 2003 occurred due to net income of $550 thousand, a $12 thousand
increase in market values on securities available for sale, net of taxes and was
reduced by the declaration of dividends of $505 thousand and stock repurchases
totaling $1.0 million. The Company's leverage ratio at March 31, 2003 and
December 31, 2002 was 12.06% and 12.10%, respectively. The Company's and the
Bank's total risk based capital ratios were 18.72% and 18.16% at March 31, 2003,
respectively, compared with 17.74% and 16.93% at December 31, 2002,
respectively. The Company exceeds all regulatory minimum capital ratio
requirements set forth by the FRB, and the Bank exceeds all minimum capital
ratio requirements as defined by the FDIC.
