Board of Directors
Compass Bank for Savings
791 Purchase Street
New Bedford, Massachusetts  02740-6300

Gentlemen:


         At your request, we have completed and hereby provide an independent
appraisal ("Appraisal") of the estimated pro forma market value of the common
stock which is to be issued in connection with the mutual-to-stock conversion
transaction and subsequent acquisition, as described below.

         This Appraisal has been prepared in accordance with the "Guidelines for
Appraisal Reports for the Valuation of Savings and Loan Associations Converting
from Mutual to Stock Form of Organization" of the Office of Thrift Supervision
("OTS"), including the most recent revisions as of October 21, 1994, and
applicable interpretations thereof. Such Valuation Guidelines are relied upon by
the Massachusetts Division of Banks (the "Division"), the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and the Federal Reserve Board ("FRB") in evaluating
conversion appraisals in the absence of such specific written valuation
guidelines separately issued by the respective agencies.


Description of Reorganization
- -----------------------------

         We understand that the Board of Trustees of The 1855 Bancorp, a
Massachusetts-chartered mutual holding company (the "MHC"), and the Board of
Directors of Compass Bank for Savings ("Compass" or the "Bank"), a wholly-owned
state-chartered state savings bank subsidiary of the MHC, have adopted a Plan of
Conversion, incorporated herein by reference, in which the MHC will be combined
with the Bank simultaneously with the MHC's conversion to stock form and
reorganization as a subsidiary of a newly-formed stock corporation, to be known
as "Seacoast Financial Services Corporation" ("Seacoast" or the "Company").
Seacoast will offer shares of Common Stock ("Conversion Shares") for sale in the
Subscription Offering, the concurrent Community Offering and, if necessary, in a
Syndicated Community Offering, based on the appraised value. The Conversion
Shares are first being offered in the Subscription Offering with nontransferable
subscription rights being granted to Eligible Account Holders, Supplemental
Eligible Account Holders, the ESOP, Employees, Officers, Trustees and Directors.

Acquisition of Sandwich Bancorp, Inc.
- -------------------------------------

         Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Affiliation and Merger Agreement
(the "Agreement"), dated March 22, 1998, The 1855 Bancorp agreed to acquire
Sandwich Bancorp, Inc., Sandwich, Massachusetts ("Sandwich Bancorp"), the bank
holding company for Sandwich Co-operative Bank, a Massachusetts-chartered
co-operative bank ("Sandwich"). Sandwich Bancorp is a Massachusetts corporation
that was organized in June 1997 to acquire all the capital stock of Sandwich
upon consummation of the reorganization of Sandwich into holding company form.
Sandwich Bancorp is a publicly-traded company whose stock is listed on the
NASDAQ National Market System under the ticker symbol "SWCB". Pursuant to the
Agreement, at the effective time of the merger, each share of common stock of
Sandwich Bancorp issued and outstanding, shall by virtue of the merger be
converted into the right to receive Seacoast common stock. The number of shares
of Seacoast common stock a Sandwich Bancorp stockholder will receive will be
determined by the application of an exchange ratio (the "Exchange Ratio" based
upon the trading price of Seacoast's common stock (the "Seacoast Trading Price")
10 days following the closing of the conversion. If the Seacoast Trading Price
is between $10.00 and $13.50, the Exchange Ratio will be between 6.4000 and
4.7407 (determined by dividing $64.00 by the Seacoast Trading Price). If the
Seacoast Trading Price is between $13.51 and $15.00, the Exchange Ratio will be
fixed at 4.7407. If the Seacoast Trading Price exceeds $15.00, the Exchange
Ratio will be less than 4.7407, (determined by dividing $71.11 by the Seacoast
Trading Price). If the Seacoast Trading Price is equal to or less than $10.00
per share, the Exchange Ratio will be 6.4000. The number of Exchange Shares
issuable in exchange for each outstanding Sandwich Bancorp stock option will be
determined by subtracting the per share exercise price of such option from the
value of the Exchange Shares receivable by Sandwich Bancorp stockholders in
exchange for each outstanding share of Sandwich Bancorp common stock, and
dividing the result by the Seacoast Trading Price. As of March 31, 1998,
Sandwich Bancorp had 1,945,756 shares of common stock issued and outstanding and
143,282 stock options outstanding, of which 103,574 shares subject to option
were exercisable (all options become fully vested upon a change of control).
Cash will be paid in lieu of fractional shares.

         It is anticipated that the merger will be accounted for as a pooling of
interests and that certain financial adjustments will be made concurrent with
the merger. The transaction is expected to constitute a tax-free reorganization
under the Internal Revenue Code, so that Sandwich Bancorp shareholders who
receive Seacoast's common stock will not recognize gain or loss in connection
with the exchange.


RP Financial, LC.

         RP Financial, LC. ("RP Financial") is a financial consulting firm
serving the financial services industry nationwide that, among other things,
specializes in financial valuations and analyses of business enterprises and
securities, including the pro forma valuation for savings institutions
converting from mutual-to-stock form. The background and experience of RP
Financial is detailed in Exhibit V-1. We believe that, except for the fee we
will receive for our appraisal and assisting in the preparation of the
post-conversion business plan, we are independent of Compass, Seacoast and
Sandwich Bancorp and the other parties engaged by Compass, Seacoast or Sandwich
Bancorp to assist in the transaction.

Valuation Methodology
- ---------------------

         In preparing our appraisal, we have reviewed the Application for
Approval of Conversion, including the Proxy Statement, as filed with the FDIC,
the Division and the FRB and the Form S-1 registration statement as filed with
the Securities Exchange Commission ("SEC"). We have conducted a financial
analysis of Compass that has included a review of its audited financial
information for the last five fiscal years and more recent unaudited information
and internal financial reports and due diligence related discussions with
Compass' management; Arthur Andersen LLP, Compass' independent auditor; Foley,
Hoag & Eliot LLP, Compass' conversion counsel; and Ryan Beck & Co., Inc., the
financial and marketing advisor in connection with Seacoast's stock offering.
Additionally, we have conducted an analysis of Sandwich Bancorp, including a
review of financial documents and discussions with Sandwich Bancorp's
management. All conclusions set forth in the appraisal were reached
independently from such discussions. In addition, where appropriate, we have
considered information based on other available published sources that we
believe are reliable. While we believe the information and data gathered from
all these sources are reliable, we cannot guarantee the accuracy and
completeness of such information.

         We have investigated the competitive environment within which Compass
operates and have assessed Compass' relative strengths and weaknesses,
incorporating the merger with Sandwich Bancorp. We have kept abreast of the
changing regulatory and legislative environment for financial institutions and
analyzed the potential impact on Seacoast and the industry as a whole. We have
analyzed the potential effects of the stock conversion and simultaneous merger
on Seacoast's operating characteristics and financial performance as they relate
to the pro forma market value. We have reviewed the overall conditions in the
primary market area as set forth in demographic, economic and competitive
information prepared by CACI, SNL Securities and other third party private and
governmental sources. We have compared Compass' and Seacoast's financial
performance and condition, incorporating the merger with Sandwich Bancorp, with
selected publicly-traded thrifts and thrift holding companies in accordance with
the Valuation Guidelines, as well as all publicly-traded thrifts and thrift
holding companies. We have reviewed the current conditions in the securities
markets in general and in the market for thrift stocks in particular, including
the market for existing thrift issues and the market for initial public
offerings by thrifts and thrift holding companies. We have excluded from such
analyses publicly-traded mutual holding companies and thrifts subject to
announced or rumored acquisition and/or other unusual characteristics due to
pricing distortions.

         Our Appraisal is based on Compass' representation that the information
contained in the regulatory applications and additional information furnished to
us by Compass and its other advisors are truthful, accurate and complete. We did
not independently verify the financial statements and other information provided
by Compass or Sandwich Bancorp, or their respective independent auditors, legal
counsel and other authorized agents, nor did we independently value the assets
or liabilities of the MHC, Compass or Sandwich Bancorp. Our valuation was also
predicated on the merger with Sandwich Bancorp being completed in a manner
consistent with the Agreement. The pro forma valuation considers Seacoast only
as a going concern and should not be considered as an indication of the
liquidation value.




Board of Directors
May 8, 1998

         Our appraised value is predicated on a continuation of the current
operating environment for Seacoast and for all thrifts and their holding
companies. Changes in the local, state and national economy, the legislative and
regulatory environment for financial institutions, the stock market, interest
rates, and other external forces (such as natural disasters or significant world
events) may occur from time to time, often with great unpredictability and may
materially impact the value of thrift stocks as a whole or Seacoast's values
alone. It is our understanding that there are no current plans for selling
control of the Seacoast following Conversion. To the extent that such factors
can be foreseen, they have been factored into our analysis.

         The estimated pro forma market value is defined as the price at which
the Seacoast's Common Stock, immediately upon completion of the conversion
offering, would change hands between a willing buyer and a willing seller,
neither being under any compulsion to buy or sell and both having reasonable
knowledge of relevant facts.


Valuation Conclusion
- --------------------

         It is our opinion that, as of May 8, 1998, the pro forma offering value
of Seacoast's conversion is $290 million, taking into account the potential
range of exchange ratios in the subsequent acquisition of Sandwich Bancorp as
set forth in the Merger Agreement. Accordingly, the conversion offering range of
value, based on a $10.00 per share value, is as follows:



                                                                    Price/

                                                     (000)           ($)

                                                             
     Minimum                $246,500,000          24,650,000       $10.00
     Midpoint                290,000,000          29,000,000        10.00
     Maximum                 333,500,000          33,500,000        10.00
     Supermaximum            383,525,000          38,352,500        10.00



         The total market of all shares issued, including both offering shares
and shares issued in the merger, is dependent upon the trading price of Seacoast
10 days following completion of the conversion offering. The following table
reflects the pro forma market value of all shares, both conversion and merger
shares, reflecting an exchange ratio of 6.4000, reflecting a Seacoast trading
price of $10.00 per share, and 4.7407, reflecting a Seacoast trading price of
$15.00 per share, both representing collars in the exchange ratio set forth in
the Merger Agreement, based on the conversion offering valuation range.

     at $15.00 per share.


Limiting Factors and Considerations
- -----------------------------------

         Our valuation is not intended, and must not be construed, as a
recommendation of any kind as to the advisability of purchasing shares of the
Common Stock. Moreover, because such valuation is necessarily based upon
estimates and projections of a number of matters, all of which are subject to
change from time to time, no assurance can be given that persons who purchase
shares of common stock in the Conversion will thereafter be able to buy or sell
such shares at prices related to the foregoing valuation of the estimated pro
forma market value thereof.

         RP Financial's valuation was determined based on the financial
condition and operations of Compass and Sandwich Bancorp as of February 28,
1998, and March 31, 1998, respectively, the date of the financial data included
in Seacoast's prospectus, and structure of the merger as set forth in the
Agreement.

         RP Financial is not a seller of securities within the meaning of any
federal and state securities laws and any report prepared by RP Financial shall
not be used as an offer or solicitation with respect to the purchase or sale of
any securities. RP Financial maintains a policy which prohibits RP Financial,
its principals or employees from purchasing stock of its client institutions.

         This valuation will be updated as provided for in the conversion
regulations and guidelines. These updates will consider, among other things, any
developments or changes in Compass' and/or Sandwich Bancorp's financial
performance and condition, management policies, current conditions in the equity
markets for thrift shares and structure and pro forma impact of the merger.
These updates may also consider changes in other external factors which impact
value including, but not limited to: various changes in the legislative and
regulatory environment for financial institutions, the stock market and the
market for thrift stocks, and

interest rates. Should any such new developments or changes be material, in our
opinion, to the valuation of the shares, appropriate adjustments to the
estimated pro forma market value will be made. The reasons for any such
adjustments will be explained in the update at the date of the release of the
update.

                                            Respectfully submitted,

                       I. OVERVIEW AND FINANCIAL ANALYSIS

Introduction
- ------------

         Compass Bank for Savings ("Compass" or the "Bank") is a state-chartered
stock savings bank headquartered in New Bedford, Massachusetts (Bristol County).
Compass conducts operations out of its main office in New Bedford,
Massachusetts, and a total of 23 branch offices, including 14 in Bristol County,
5 in Dukes County (Martha's Vineyard Island) and 4 in Plymouth County, all of
which are situated in southeastern Massachusetts. Additionally, the Bank
operates two limited service offices in area high schools, and a network of 25
branches and remote automated teller machines ("ATMs"). Compass was organized in
1855 and has operated in southeastern Massachusetts since that time. The Bank is
a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") system. The Bank's deposits are
insured up to the regulatory maximums by the Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF") and, as
a result of a prior acquisition, the Savings Association Insurance Fund
("SAIF"), both administered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
("FDIC").

         In 1994, the Bank completed a reorganization from a mutual savings bank
to a stock savings bank concurrent with a reorganization as a
Massachusetts-chartered mutual holding company. Pursuant to the reorganization,
Compass transferred substantially all of its assets and liabilities to a
newly-formed stock savings bank in exchange for 100 percent of the stock savings
bank's common stock issued to The 1855 Bancorp ("The 1855 Bancorp" or the
"MHC"). No shares were issued publicly at the time of the reorganization. The
purpose of the reorganization into the mutual holding company form was to
facilitate the acquisition of Martha's Vineyard National Bank ("MVNB") at the
end of calendar 1994 as well as possible other future acquisitions.
Subsequently, the MHC has engaged in a very limited level of activity other than
ownership of the Bank. The MHC's principal assets consist of fixed assets,
investment in subsidiaries (primarily the Bank), and a small balance of cash.
The analysis set forth herein relates to the MHC on a consolidated basis with
Compass.

         As of February 28, 1998, the MHC on a consolidated basis had $1.1
billion in assets, $951.4 million in deposits and a surplus (i.e., equity) of
$103.1 million, or 9.02 percent of total 




RP Financial, LC.
Page 1.2

assets. Tangible equity was $101.5 million, or 8.88 percent of total assets,
after excluding intangible assets of $1.6 million. For the twelve months ended
February 28, 1998, the MHC reported net income of $12.5 million, equal to
approximately 1.14 percent of average assets.

         As described more fully herein, the MHC is converting to stock form and
shortly following the completion of the stock offering will acquire Sandwich
Bancorp, Inc. ("Sandwich Bancorp") by means of a share exchange. This conversion
valuation appraisal takes into account the pro forma impact of the Sandwich
Bancorp merger. Seacoast Financial Services Corporation ("Seacoast" or "the
Company") will be the resulting bank holding company for the merged
state-chartered stock savings bank.


Plan of Conversion and Holding Company Reorganization
- -----------------------------------------------------

         Seacoast was organized in April 1998 in conjunction with the proposed
mutual-to-stock conversion of the MHC. In the course of the conversion, Seacoast
will acquire all of the capital stock that the MHC will issue upon conversion
from mutual-to-stock form. Going forward, Seacoast will own 100 percent of the
Bank's stock, and the Bank will be Seacoast's sole subsidiary. At this time, no
other major activities are contemplated for Seacoast other than the ownership of
the Bank. Seacoast plans to retain up to 50 percent of the net proceeds from the
sale of common stock and to use the remaining proceeds to purchase all of the
then to be issued and outstanding capital stock of the Bank. Prior to the
completion of the conversion, The 1855 Bancorp will change its name on an
interim basis to Seacoast, Inc., and after the conversion will change its name
to Seacoast Financial Services Corporation.


Acquisition of Sandwich Bancorp, Inc.
- -------------------------------------

         Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Affiliation and Merger Agreement
(the "Agreement"), dated March 22, 1998, The 1855 Bancorp agreed to acquire
Sandwich Bancorp, Inc., Sandwich, Massachusetts ("Sandwich Bancorp"), the bank
holding company for Sandwich Co-operative Bank ("Sandwich"), a
Massachusetts-chartered co-operative bank. Sandwich Bancorp is a Massachusetts
corporation that was organized in June 1997 to acquire all the capital stock of
Sandwich pursuant to the bank holding company reorganization. Sandwich Bancorp
is a publicly-traded company whose stock is listed on the NASDAQ National Market
System under 





RP Financial, LC.
Page 1.3


the ticker symbol "SWCB". As of March 31, 1998, Sandwich Bancorp reported
consolidated assets of $526.5 million, deposits of $426.7 million, and
stockholders' equity of $42.6 million, or 8.08 percent of total assets.

         Sandwich is a state-chartered co-operative bank operating through an
administrative office in Sandwich, Massachusetts, and a total of 11 retail
branch offices in Barnstable County (i.e., Cape Cod) and southern Plymouth
County. The deposits of Sandwich are insured to regulatory maximums by BIF and
the SAIF, and Sandwich is a member of the FHLB system.

         Upon completion of the merger, Seacoast will continue to be
headquartered in New Bedford, Massachusetts, with 36 banking offices in
southeastern Massachusetts. As described more fully herein, both institutions
share many characteristics, i.e., a community bank strategy emphasizing a local
orientation, and utilizing primarily retail deposits to fund local lending.
Compass has a more diversified lending operation and loan portfolio than
Sandwich Bancorp, particularly in the areas of consumer lending (primarily
indirect auto loans) as well as commercial and industrial ("C&I") lending.
Sandwich Bancorp currently has a more leveraged capital position than Seacoast
will have on a pro forma basis. The merger is expected to enhance Compass'
ability to offer full service banking services on Cape Cod and southern Plymouth
County and facilitate asset growth by offering loans and other products in an
expanded area.

         Pursuant to the Agreement, at the effective time of the merger, each
share of common stock of Sandwich Bancorp issued and outstanding, shall by
virtue of the merger be converted into the right to receive Seacoast common
stock by means of an exchange ratio (the "Exchange Ratio") based upon the
trading price of Seacoast's common stock following the completion of the
offering (the "Seacoast Trading Price"). If the Seacoast Trading Price is
between $10.00 and $13.50, the Exchange Ratio will be between 6.4000 and 4.7407
(determined by dividing $64.00 by the Seacoast Trading Price). If the Seacoast
Trading Price is between $13.51 and $15.00, the Exchange Ratio will be fixed at
4.7407. If the Seacoast Trading Price exceeds $15.00, the Exchange Ratio will be
less than 4.7407 (determined by dividing $71.11 by the Seacoast Trading Price).
If the Seacoast Trading Price is equal to or less than $10.00 per share, the
Exchange Ratio will be 6.4000. The number of Exchange Shares issuable in
exchange for each outstanding Sandwich Bancorp stock option will be determined
by subtracting the per share exercise price of such option from the value of the
Exchange Shares receivable by Sandwich Bancorp 





RP Financial, LC.
Page 1.4


stockholders in exchange for each outstanding share of Sandwich Bancorp common
stock, and dividing the result by the Seacoast Trading Price. As of March 31,
1998, Sandwich Bancorp had 1,945,756 shares of common stock issued and
outstanding and 143,282 stock options outstanding, of which 103,574 shares
subject to option were exercisable (all become fully vested upon acquisition).
Cash will be paid in lieu of fractional shares.

         As described more fully herein, the merger is anticipated to be
accounted for as a pooling of interests. At the time of the merger, certain
merger expenses will be recognized, approximating $4.0 million on an after-tax
basis, to reflect the following: (1) certain financial advisory, legal and other
expenses in connection with the merger; (2) expenses related to payouts on
Sandwich Bancorp management contracts; and (3) expenses related to converting
data processing to a single system. Merger synergies are expected to primarily
consist of the elimination of duplicative personnel, primarily in management,
and the related pre-tax cost savings, estimated to approximate $1.5 million in
the first year following the merger and $1.8 million and $2.0 million in the
second and third years, respectively.

         There will be a 15 member Board of Directors of Seacoast, comprised of
12 directors from Compass and 3 directors from Sandwich Bancorp. The senior
management team of the merged institution is expected to consist of 9
individuals, all of whom are currently employed by Compass.


Strategic Discussion
- --------------------

       Seacoast, Inc.
       --------------

         Seacoast, Inc. (reflects the interim name change of The 1855 Bancorp),
is the mutual holding company for Compass, a well-capitalized community-oriented
savings institution operating in southeastern Massachusetts. Since substantially
all of the consolidated operations consist of the activities of Compass, the
balance of the analysis will describe the operations of Compass, although the
financial data reflects the consolidated financial data of the MHC and Compass.

             The Bank's current operations and strategic direction have been
significantly influenced by certain events over the last two decades. In
particular, during the early 1980s, 





RP Financial, LC.
Page 1.5


the Bank experienced diminished profitability as interest rates and the cost of
funds increased rapidly while interest income on long-term fixed rate loans and
investments increased relatively slowly. Additionally, during this same time
frame, the local economy in southeastern Massachusetts was under pressure as the
traditional manufacturing employers continued to decline and the benefit from
the increase in national defense spending and the growth of hi-tech industries
in the Boston area was not felt.

             As a result of the foregoing, management sought to emphasize
shorter term and adjustable rate loans with the objective of minimizing the
Bank's interest rate risk exposure. Additionally, the Bank has been cognizant of
maintaining credit quality, particularly as it has began to focus on higher
risk-weight lending.

             In recent periods, the Bank has sought to emphasize a community
bank operating strategy, emphasizing service, its local orientation and a
relatively broad array of products and services. Compass has implemented a
three-prong lending strategy which has focused on: (1) residential mortgage
lending; (2) commercial lending, including commercial and multi-family mortgage
loans as well as commercial and industrial loans; and (3) consumer loans,
including primarily auto loans originated indirectly through a network of
approximately 80 dealers located in Massachusetts and Rhode Island. As a result,
as of February 28, 1998, 1-4 family residential mortgage loans comprised
approximately 43.0 percent of total loans, while commercial mortgage and C&I
loans totaled approximately 20.7 percent of total loans, and consumer loans
comprised approximately 30.0 percent of total loans. The Bank has pursued loan
diversification with the objective of enhancing yields and overall earnings
levels while also improving the interest sensitivity of assets.

             The majority of the balance of interest-earning assets ("IEA") are
invested in U.S. Treasury and agency obligations, corporate securities and
mortgage-backed securities ("MBS"). The majority of the Bank's investment
portfolio is classified as available for sale ("AFS") and the maturity of most
of the securities in the portfolio averages five years or less.

             In conjunction with the community bank operating strategy, Compass
has sought to actively grow and expand its franchise, both through internal and
external means. Compass has grown internally by offering competitive rates and a
wide array of products and services. 






RP Financial, LC.
Page 1.6


However, a significant portion of the Bank's growth has been generated through
two acquisitions. The first acquisition involved the purchase of approximately
$57 million of deposits and two office facilities from the failed Plymouth
Federal Savings Bank ("Plymouth Federal") from the Resolution Trust Corporation
("RTC") in March 1994. Additionally, the Bank acquired MVNB, a commercial bank
with 5 locations on the Island of Martha's Vineyard, with total assets of
approximately $129 million in December 1994.

       Sandwich Bancorp
       ----------------

         Sandwich, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sandwich Bancorp, was organized
as a Massachusetts co-operative bank in 1885 and has operated on Cape Cod and
Plymouth County since that time. Sandwich serves Barnstable County (Cape Cod)
and southern Plymouth County through a network of 11 branch offices. Sandwich's
market is contiguous to the Compass market and there is little overlap in the
respective branch office networks. Sandwich is also a community-oriented banking
institution, with a focus on mortgage lending, particularly residential mortgage
loans. The deposit and customer base composition of Sandwich is highly
comparable to those of Compass.

       Merged Bank
       -----------

         The business plan of Seacoast, inclusive of the acquired operations of
Sandwich Bancorp, are expected to continue to focus on products and services
which have facilitated growth to date. Specifically, the largest business
segment will continue to consist of traditional deposit products and retail
banking services, with funds deployed primarily in residential mortgage loans,
and, to a lesser extent, commercial and consumer loans. The acquisition of
Sandwich Bancorp is expected to enhance Seacoast's ability to compete and grow.
The merger will result in the immediate leverage of the post-conversion capital,
owing to the relatively leveraged capital position of Sandwich Bancorp. While
Seacoast and Compass will continue to maintain a strong capital level following
the conversion and acquisition, management efforts over the near term following
the conversion will largely be focused on enhancing efficiency, including the
integration of Sandwich Bancorp into Seacoast's operations, continuing to manage
interest rate risk, maintaining good asset quality and pursuing retail growth in
southeastern Massachusetts.

       Stock Conversion
       ----------------

         The stock conversion is intended to accomplish several objectives:
provide the opportunity for stock ownership to employees, depositors and
management; provide a mechanism to attract and retain competent staff; and
provide the funds, form of consideration and the capital necessary to complete
stock acquisitions. The capital from the stock conversion will be used to
support the growth through existing branches as well as through other
acquisitions, revenue diversification activities, reduction of interest rate
risk and provide a capital cushion to safeguard against contingencies such as
credit losses or an adverse interest rate environment. As disclosed in
Seacoast's prospectus, the proceeds from the stock conversion are anticipated to
be invested as follows.

          o    Seacoast Bancorp. Seacoast will retain up to 50 percent of the
               net conversion proceeds. Seacoast funds are expected to be
               invested initially into short- and intermediate-term investment
               securities with laddered maturities extending up to five to seven
               years. Over time, Seacoast funds may be utilized for various
               corporate purposes, possibly including the payment of
               regular/special cash dividends, acquisitions, infusing additional
               equity into the Bank and/or repurchases of common stock, however
               no specific plans currently exist.

          o    Compass. At least 50 percent of the net conversion proceeds will
               be infused into the Bank in exchange for all of the Bank's
               newly-issued stock. The increase in capital will be less, as the
               amount to be borrowed by the ESOP from a third party to fund an 8
               percent stock purchase will be deducted from capital. Cash
               proceeds (i.e., net proceeds less deposits withdrawn to fund
               stock purchases) infused into the Bank are anticipated to become
               part of general operating funds, and are expected to initially be
               invested in short-term investments and/or used to repay borrowed
               funds as they mature. Over the longer term, the proceeds are
               expected to be partially redeployed into loans.


         Seacoast's business plan initially calls for consolidating the
operations of Sandwich Bancorp into those of Seacoast, partially deploying the
conversion proceeds into loans, and pursuing moderate growth through the
expanded branch network. Over the longer term, management will continue to
review growth opportunities including internal growth, branching and
acquisitions of branches or other institutions. In this regard, current plans
call for the Bank to establish one to two new branch offices per year during
each of the next three years.

Balance Sheet Trends
- --------------------

       Growth Trends
       -------------

         Table 1.1 shows the Bank's historical balance sheets from October 31,
1993 to February 28, 1998, and the Bank's pro forma balance sheet at February
28, 1998 giving effect to the Sandwich Bancorp merger (but before incorporating
the capital to be raised in conversion and merger expenses). The following
paragraphs describe the historical balance sheet changes for Compass on a
pre-acquisition basis. The pro forma balance sheet impact of the acquisition of
Sandwich Bancorp will be discussed at the end of this section. Additionally, the
foregoing analysis describes the consolidated operations of the MHC but is
referenced to as Compass since the substantial majority of assets and
liabilities are attributable to the Bank.

         Over the last 5 years, Compass' asset base increased at a compounded
annual rate of approximately 10.9 percent. The Bank's growth has been fostered
through the 1994 acquisition of Plymouth Federal branches, and the 1995
acquisition of MVNB. Excluding growth through acquisition, the Bank's internal
growth has been relatively limited as a result of the competition and the
limited population growth in the Bank's markets. Over this period, asset growth
was largely attributable to loan portfolio growth, which increased from $451.1
million, or 63.92 percent of assets, as of October 31, 1993, to $846.4 million,
or 74.01 percent, as of February 28, 1998. The 14.8 percent annual growth rate
of loans was partially funded internally through a reduction in the proportion
of investment securities.

         The Bank's loan portfolio has undergone significant change over the
last five fiscal years, as the proportion of residential mortgage loans
diminished in conjunction with the increased emphasis on commercial and consumer
(primarily indirect auto loans) lending. In particular, the proportion of
commercial loans was bolstered with the 1995 acquisition of MVNB. Most of the
lending and branch-related staff of MVNB were retained following the
acquisition, including the managing officer, who became a Compass Executive Vice
President in charge of the commercial loan department. The consumer loan
portfolio has also increased substantially, from $93.8 million in 1993 to $250.5
million currently, largely as a result of growth in the indirect auto loan
portfolio. In this regard, management has intensified efforts to recruit new
dealer relationships and to expand the volume of loan referrals from existing
dealer relationships.





RP Financial, LC.
Page 1.9


         The Bank's assets are funded through a combination of deposits,
borrowings and retained earnings. Although deposits realized the most
significant growth in dollar terms, largely due to acquisitions, borrowings
increased most rapidly on a percentage basis due to the relatively favorable
cost and to lengthen liabilities duration. Additionally, Compass has utilized
FHLB advances in connection with originating affordable housing loans.

         Equity has increased steadily since the end of fiscal 1993, reflecting
the Bank's strengthening earnings. Equity has generally been maintained in the
7.5 to 9.0 percent range the last 5 years, and, as of February 28, 1998, the
equity/assets ratio approximated 9.0 percent.

       Loans Receivable
       ----------------

         The increased ratio of loans to assets in recent years reflects
management's preference for lending to enhance asset yields and to capitalize on
certain market niches. Currently, 1-4 family mortgage loans comprise the largest
segment of the loan portfolio, equal to 43.0 percent, a much lower ratio than 5
years earlier. The residential mortgage loan portfolio consists primarily of
adjustable rate mortgage loans ("ARMs") and shorter term fixed rate mortgage
loans (i.e., maturities of less than 15 years). It is the Bank's current
practice to sell long term fixed rate loans into the secondary market on a
servicing retained basis for interest rate risk management and fee income
purposes.

         The Bank also maintains a large portfolio of consumer loans, comprised
primarily of indirect auto loans. Overall, consumer loans totaled $250.5
million, or 29.6 percent of total loans, as of February 28, 1998. The Bank
intends to continue to expand the indirect auto loan portfolio through new
dealer relationships and increased volume with existing dealers. Compass has
recently established a finance company operating subsidiary, which is licensed
to conduct business in Rhode Island, as a means of expanding its indirect
lending business into other nearby areas.

         The last major segment of the loan portfolio consists of commercial
mortgages and C&I loans, which together comprised approximately 20.7 percent of
total loans. The increase in the commercial mortgage portfolio has been
facilitated by loans and staff from the MVNB acquisition.

       Investment and Mortgage-Backed Securities
       -----------------------------------------

         The intent of the Bank's investment policy is to provide adequate
liquidity, to generate a favorable return on excess investable funds and to
support the overall credit and interest rate risk objectives of the Bank. In
recent periods, the Bank has sought to minimize the level of investment
securities in favor of higher yielding loans. The Bank anticipates initially
reinvesting the net conversion proceeds into investments with short-term
maturities, pending longer-term deployment into other investments and loans.
Compass anticipates that the future composition of the liquidity portfolio will
consist of similar types of investment securities as are currently held.

         As of February 28, 1998, the Bank's portfolio of cash and cash
equivalents totaled $43.3 million, equal to 3.78 percent of assets. Investment
securities available for sale ("AFS") totaled $195.6 million, equal to 17.1
percent of assets, while the balance of securities held to maturity ("HTM") was
much lower, equal to $12.3 million, or 1.1 percent of assets, as of February 28,
1998 (see Exhibit I-4). Overall, HTM and AFS investment securities equaled 18.2
percent of total assets as of February 28, 1998, which reflects a significant
decline since the end of fiscal 1993 given the lending emphasis. The majority of
the Bank's investments are classified as AFS although there is a small portfolio
of U.S. agency securities classified as HTM. Management's current investment
strategy is to purchase securities with maturities no longer than ten years and
generally possessing maturities of five years or less.

         The largest component of the investment portfolio consisted of U.S.
Government and agency obligations with a balance of $110.5 million, $12.3
million of which was classified as HTM. Corporate debt obligations totaled $46.6
million, and consisted of finance bonds, industrial revenue bonds, utility bonds
and bank and trust company bonds. Compass' investment policy restricts
investment in bonds to securities rated "A" or better by a nationally recognized
rating agency. Mortgage-backed securities totaled $44.6 million, as of February
28, 1998, and consisted of securities guaranteed by GNMA, FHLMC or FNMA. The
Bank also has invested in a mutual fund which invests in various investment
grade securities.

         Marketable equity securities consist of $8.5 million of common stocks
and $1.0 million of preferred stocks. Stocks are generally acquired for
long-term investment purposes. As of February 28, 1998, Compass' portfolio of
common stocks included 90,000 shares 





RP Financial, LC.
Page 1.11


of Sandwich Bancorp common stock with a market value of approximately $5.2
million, which represented 4.6 percent of the Sandwich Bancorp shares
outstanding.

       Funding Structure
       -----------------

         Deposits are comprised of a large base of savings and transaction
accounts (or "core" deposits) with the balance of funds consisting of CDs.
Growth of the Bank's deposit base has been significantly enhanced by the $57
million Plymouth Federal acquisition in 1994 and the $100 million MVNB
acquisition in 1995. Since the end of fiscal 1995, deposit balances have
increased at a 4.4 percent compounded annual growth rate, underscoring the
moderate growth nature of the local market. As future prospects for in-market
deposit growth are expected to remain moderate, the Bank has been intensifying
cross-selling strategy to stimulate deposit growth from existing customers.
Additionally, the Bank expects to continue to evaluate other acquisition
opportunities.

         Borrowings have been increasingly utilized since the end of fiscal
1993, primarily FHLB advances and short-term repurchase agreements, as Compass
has sought to avail itself to favorably priced long term funds, including
special borrowing programs to assist low-to-moderate income home buyers. Compass
may use additional borrowings for interest rate risk or leveraging purposes
provided the spreads justify such funding.

       Capital
       -------

         Earnings since the end of fiscal 1993 have led to annual equity growth
of 11.3 percent. As a result of the Plymouth Federal acquisition in 1994, a $2.6
million core deposit intangible was created, which is being amortized over 10
years on a straight-line basis. The balance of the core deposit intangible
equaled $1.591 million as of February 28, 1998. The Bank maintained capital
surpluses relative to all of its regulatory capital requirements at February 28,
1998, as summarized in the table below. The addition of conversion proceeds will
serve to further strengthen Compass' capital position.

       Acquisition of Sandwich Bancorp
       -------------------------------

         Since year end 1993, Sandwich Bancorp's total assets have grown at a
12.1 percent compounded annual rate, facilitated through four branch deposit
acquisitions since 1992 and rapid growth in borrowings. Asset growth has been
dominated by loan growth and, to a lesser extent, investment and mortgage-backed
securities. As a result, the loans/deposit ratio has increased from 74.3 percent
at December 31, 1993, to 86.6 percent at March 31, 1998. Sandwich Bancorp's
equity/assets ratio has declined modestly over the last five years as asset
growth exceeded equity growth, reflecting moderate profitability and a
relatively high dividend payout ratio.

         Sandwich Bancorp has been predominantly a permanent 1-4 family lender,
with such loans representing 60 to 70 percent of loans over the last 5 years.
Moreover, the proportion of residential loans has been increasing while
commercial and consumer loans have been declining. Sandwich Bancorp also
maintains a relatively large balance of construction and land development loans.
Sandwich Bancorp's loan growth has been facilitated with affiliations with
correspondent loan brokers.

         Since the acquisition will be accounted for as a "pooling of
interests," Sandwich Bancorp's balance sheet and income statement will simply be
added to Compass' balance sheet, before reflecting previously referenced merger
expenses. The pro forma pre-conversion impact of the Sandwich Bancorp
acquisition (based on Sandwich Bancorp financial data as of March 31, 1998)
would have increased Compass' total assets to $1.7 billion, total deposits to
$1.4 billion and equity to $145.7 million, or 8.72 percent of assets. The
post-merger balance sheet composition does not change significantly as the
proportion of loans, investments, deposits

borrowed funds for Sandwich Bancorp compares relatively closely to Compass' on a
pre-conversion basis.


Income and Expense Trends
- -------------------------

         Table 1.2 shows the Bank's historical income statements for the fiscal
years from 1993 through 1997 and for the twelve months ended February 28, 1998,
as well as the Bank's pro forma income statement for the twelve months ended
February 28, 1998 reflecting the merger (incorporates the Sandwich Bancorp
results through March 31, 1998). The following paragraphs describe the
historical income statements of Compass on a pre-merger basis. The pro forma
income statement impact of the merger with Sandwich Bancorp is discussed at the
end of this section.

         Overall, Compass' net income before extraordinary items ranged from a
low of $5.4 million, equal to 0.71 percent of average assets, in fiscal 1994, to
a high of $12.5 million, equal to 1.14 percent of average assets, for the most
recent twelve months ended February 28, 1998. Factors leading to consistent
earnings and profitability growth include a stable net interest margin, a
moderating level of loan loss provisions, stronger levels of non-interest
operating income and a moderating operating expense ratio, notwithstanding the
growth in the aggregate level of operating costs.

       Net Interest Income
       -------------------

         Compass' ratio of net interest income to average assets declined
between fiscal 1993 and 1994, from 3.99 percent to 3.62 percent, respectively,
partially as a result of an unfavorable interest rate environment and the cash
received in the Plymouth Federal acquisition. Subsequently, net interest income
increased in dollar terms, commensurate with the growth of the Bank,
representing 3.50 to 3.80 percent of average assets. The recent stability of the
net interest income ratio is reflective of the relatively stable interest rate
environment coupled with the Bank's strategy of limiting interest rate risk
exposure.

         Compass' spreads and margins have increased modestly since fiscal 1995,
reflecting the increasing proportion of higher yielding loans (see Exhibit I-5).
Specifically, Compass' fiscal 1995 interest rate spread of 3.33 percent
increased to 3.47 percent and 3.48 percent in



RP Financial, LC.
Page 1.14


fiscal 1996 and fiscal 1997, respectively. For the four months ended February
28, 1998, Compass' spread equaled 3.47 percent.

       Non-Interest Income
       -------------------

         Other income has shown a gradual upward trend since fiscal 1993, from
$2.6 million, or 0.37 percent of average assets, to $5.7 million, or 0.52
percent of average assets, for the twelve months ended February 28, 1998. The
increase in non-interest income over the last five fiscal years is attributable
to several factors: increased fee generating commercial lending and depository
activities; growth of ATM fees as the ATM network expanded; and increased
service fee structure.

       Operating Expenses
       ------------------

         Operating expenses have increased in dollar terms since fiscal 1994,
although the operating expense ratio has diminished due to faster asset growth.
For the twelve months ended February 28, 1998, operating expenses totaled $25.0
million, equal to 2.29 percent of average assets.

         Operating expenses increased significantly between fiscal 1993 and
fiscal 1995 as a result of the Plymouth Federal and MVNB acquisitions.
Subsequently, operating expenses have increased more slowly as the Bank has
focused on limiting operating expense growth. Operating expenses are expected to
increase following the conversion as a result of the leveraged ESOP amortization
expense; public company legal, accounting and printing/mailing costs; and
expansion of fixed assets. The Bank has preliminary plans to build a new
executive office facility in downtown New Bedford at a cost estimated to range
up to $15 million, which will result in significant new depreciation and
property tax expenses. Management is hopeful that the new facility can be
constructed and occupied within 24 to 30 months. Also, Compass is targeting to
open one to two additional branch offices per year into the foreseeable future.

       Other Real Estate Owned Expense
       -------------------------------

         Other real estate owned ("OREO") expense reflects a decline over the
last five years as a result of improving asset quality, including a diminishing
OREO level. Specifically, OREO expense has declined from $1.5 million, 0.22
percent of average assets, in fiscal 1993, to $519,000, 0.05 percent of average
assets, for the twelve months ended February 28, 1998.




RP Financial, LC.
Page 1.15


       Loan Loss Provisions
       --------------------

         As a result of improving economic conditions locally and a reduction in
non-performing assets, the level of loan loss provisions declined to $1.6
million, or 0.15 percent of average assets, for the twelve months ended February
28, 1998. Going forward, the Bank intends to continue to evaluate the adequacy
of general valuation allowances ("GVAs"), establishing additional loan loss
provisions in accordance with the Bank's asset classification and loss reserve
policies. Currently, the Bank is accruing $375,000 of loan loss provisions
quarterly.

       Non-Operating Items
       -------------------

         Non-operating income and expenses have typically had a limited impact
on Compass' net income, and such items totaled $575,000, equal to 5 basis points
on average assets, for the twelve months ended February 28, 1998. The majority
of Compass' non-operating items consisted of gains on the sale of loans, which
has increased in recent periods as loan origination volumes (and sales) have
increased.

       Taxes
       -----

         The Bank's tax rate has ranged from approximately 37.6 to 43.4 percent
over the last 5 years. Currently, the Bank is engaged in a tax planning strategy
to reduce state income taxes, utilizing a real estate investment trust ("REIT")
subsidiary. Specifically, Compass formed Compass Preferred Capital Corporation
to hold approximately $150 million of the Bank's real estate loans. Under
current state tax laws, REIT income is subject to a 60 percent dividend
exclusion, which is estimated to marginally reduce the Bank's effective state
and federal tax rate. While additional loans may be transferred to the REIT in
the future, the amount is limited by certain limitations in the Massachusetts
tax code. The Bank recognizes that a change in tax laws may eliminate such tax
benefits, although no change in the relevant tax laws is known to be underway at
this time.

       Pro Forma Earnings Impact of Sandwich Bancorp Merger
       ----------------------------------------------------

         Sandwich Bancorp's earnings reflects steady growth over the last five
fiscal years, both in terms of reported earnings and earnings as a percent of
average assets. The earnings growth is principally attributable to improvements
in all areas of core operations, including increases in the net interest margin
and non-interest income as well as a diminishing operating 




RP Financial, LC.
Page 1.16


expense ratio. Overall, Sandwich Bancorp's profitability ratios have increased
from 0.52 percent of average assets in fiscal 1993 to 0.98 percent of average
assets in fiscal 1997. Sandwich Bancorp's profitability in every year has been
partially dependent on the gains on sale of loans. The relatively low levels of
non-performing assets in recent periods has kept provisions for loan losses to
moderate levels. Sandwich Bancorp's return on equity has increased from
approximately 5 percent in fiscal 1993 to 12.5 percent in fiscal 1997.

         On a pro forma basis, the Sandwich Bancorp merger is projected to
impact Compass' income statement in several ways. There are certain
non-recurring merger expenses anticipated concurrent with the merger, including
financial advisory fees, data processing costs and the expense of change of
control provisions in Sandwich Bancorp management contracts. Overall, total
acquisition-related expenses are projected to equal $5.0 million on a pre-tax
basis ($4.0 million after-tax), most of which will be incurred at the time of,
or shortly following, the merger. The impact of the conversion and the one-time
merger costs are captured in the pro forma adjustments set forth in the
valuation analysis in Chapter IV. On a pro forma basis, net interest income as a
percent of average assets is expected to be similar (3.79 percent of average
assets on a stand-alone basis and 3.70 percent for the merged Bank);
non-interest operating income is subject to a slight decrease (from 0.52 percent
of average assets to 0.51 percent for the merged Bank); and the operating
expense ratio is inflated from 2.29 to 2.33 percent of average assets. On a pro
forma basis (before the impact of the conversion offering), core profitability
declines from 1.14 to 1.09 percent of average assets. Compass estimates pre-tax
cost savings in the range of $1.5 million in the first year following the
acquisition increasing to $1.8 million and $2.0 million in the second and third
years following the acquisition, respectively.


Interest Rate Risk Management
- -----------------------------

         Compass' February 28, 1998 Net Interest Income ("NII") analysis shows
that NII would decline by approximately 8.22 percent over a 12 month period,
pursuant to a 200 basis point instantaneous and permanent increase in interest
rates, relative to base case levels (i.e., no change in market interest rates),
and by 4.73 percent over a 24 month period. Further, the NII would remain
substantially unchanged over a 12 month period assuming a 200 basis point
decrease in rates (see Exhibit I-7 for details).



RP Financial, LC.
Page 1.17


         The foregoing NII analysis indicates a modestly liability sensitive
position, although Compass has been relatively successful in minimizing interest
rate risk exposure. Furthermore, the Bank's one year cumulative gap ratio
equaled negative 8.40 percent of assets, which reflects a modest level of
interest rate risk exposure (see Exhibit I-8 for details). Compass manages
interest rate risk primarily from the asset side of the balance sheet, by
focusing asset investments on shorter term or adjustable rate loans as well as
short to intermediate term investment securities. Additionally, the Bank sells
the substantial majority of the longer term fixed rate residential mortgage
loans originated which eliminates the risk related to holding such assets while
also providing a source of non-interest fee and loan servicing income.
Strategies undertaken with respect to liabilities include attempting to market
longer term CDs and locking in long-term borrowings when such funds are
attractively priced and can be reinvested at a favorable spread. Additionally,
Compass seeks to maintain a strong capital ratio which provides for a favorable
level of interest-earning assets relative to interest-bearing liabilities while
also seeking to maintain strong credit quality.

         Based on interest rate risk analyses prepared by Sandwich Bancorp,
Sandwich Bancorp's interest rate risk exposure appears to be relatively
comparable to the Bank's exposure levels. Specifically, Sandwich Bancorp's
analysis shows that as of the end of fiscal 1997, Sandwich Bancorp's negative
gap equaled 3.51 percent of assets in the one year or less period.

         The completion of the Bank's conversion should further facilitate
management efforts to further control interest rate risk, as the conversion
proceeds can be reinvested to enhance core earnings and as the Bank's ratio of
interest-earning assets to interest-bearing liabilities is improved.


Lending Activities and Strategy
- -------------------------------

         Throughout most of its history, Compass' lending strategy focused on
permanent residential mortgage lending. Most recently, however, Compass has
implemented a three-prong lending strategy which focused on: (1) residential
mortgage lending; (2) commercial lending, including commercial and multi-family
mortgage loans as well as commercial and industrial loans; and (3) consumer
loans, including primarily auto loans originated indirectly through a network of
approximately 80 dealers located in Massachusetts and Rhode Island. 




RP Financial, LC.
Page 1.18


The Bank has pursued loan diversification with the objective of enhancing yields
and overall earnings levels while also improving the interest sensitivity of
assets. The Bank's lending strategy is evidenced in financial data reflecting
the loan portfolio composition and lending activity set forth in Exhibits I-10
and I-11.

         The Bank's lending strategy and the loan portfolio composition are not
expected to change substantially as a result of the conversion or the
acquisition. Accordingly, it is expected that future loans originated by the
Bank will continue to consist of a mixture of residential, commercial and
consumer loans secured by properties and/or to borrowers in southeastern
Massachusetts and Rhode Island.

         Consistent with its community bank strategy, Compass offers a broad
array of 1-4 family mortgage loan programs including fixed and adjustable rate
loans with varying terms and maturities as well as bi-weekly payment loans. As
of February 28, 1998, residential mortgage loans equaled $364.2 million, or 43.0
percent of total loans. Compass originates both fixed rate and adjustable rate
1-4 family loans; the Bank's general philosophy is to seek to originate
adjustable rate loans and/or shorter-term fixed rate loans for portfolio (10
year maturities or less) and sell longer-term fixed rate loans through various
secondary market conduits (primarily FHLMC) on a servicing-retained basis.

         The Bank originates one-to-four family loans up to a loan-to-value
("LTV") ratio of 95.0 percent, with private mortgage insurance ("PMI") being
required for loans in excess of a 80.0 percent LTV ratio. The substantial
portion of 1-4 family mortgage loans originated by Compass are secured by
residences proximate to the markets served by the retail branches.

         As a complement to the 1-4 family permanent mortgage lending
activities, the Bank also offers home equity loans, including fixed rate
amortizing term loans as well as variable rate lines of credit. The majority of
the home equity loans extended by the Bank are to first mortgage borrowers of
Compass.

         Commercial lending has become an increasingly important part of
Compass' lending activities over the last decade, both internally and through
the 1994 MVNB acquisition. As a result, the balance of commercial and
multi-family mortgage loans has increased to $120.7 million, or 14.26 percent of
total loans, and C&I loans equaled $54.0 million, equal to 6.38 




RP Financial, LC.
Page 1.19


percent of loans. The addition of Sandwich will not change the portfolio
composition dramatically with respect to commercial loans but the retail
presence on the Cape is expected to facilitate the Bank's efforts to originate
commercial loans in Barnstable County.

         Commercial loans are almost always made to local borrowers and/or
secured by local properties. Commercial real estate/multi-family loans are
generally extended up to a 75 percent LTV ratio and require a debt-coverage
ratio of at least 1.2 times. C&I loans are carefully underwritten with a
thorough financial analysis of the borrowers business and cash flow performed to
ensure that credit risk is limited. Additionally, personal guarantees are
required on most of the commercial loans originated by Compass.

         The consumer loan portfolio consists primarily of automobile loans,
supplemented by student loans, unsecured personal loans (made primarily to
customers of the Bank), and passbook loans. Auto loans originated indirectly
constitute approximately 90 percent of the consumer loan portfolio. As of
February 28, 1998, consumer loans totaled $250.5 million, equal to 29.59 percent
of total loans.

         Automobile loans are originated through relationships with
approximately 80 automobile dealerships in southeastern Massachusetts and Rhode
Island. The Bank is continuing to build the base of dealer relationships as part
of its long term efforts to expand the portfolio. Auto loans are secured by both
new and late model used cars and are originated in a procedure whereby Bank
personnel process and underwrite the loans to Bank standards using information
provided by the dealers. All borrower information is confirmed by the Bank
before an automobile loan is approved. The Bank originates similar levels of
loans secured by used and new automobiles. Compass intends to continue to expand
the automobile loan portfolio over the next several years.

         The balance of the loan portfolio is secured by construction and land
loans, which totaled $41.2 million, equal to 4.87 percent of loans.
Construction/permanent loans are made to owners and are converted to permanent
loans at the end of the construction phase. Loans to builders are also made by
the Bank and comprise a lesser proportion of the construction loan origination
volume. Construction loans typically require payment of interest only during the
construction period and are extended for up to one year. The Bank originates
construction loans up to a LTV ratio of 90 percent, with the rate offered on
builder loans typically exceeding the Bank's 1-4 




RP Financial, LC.
Page 1.20


family loan rate. The number of loans extended to builders at one time is
dependent upon the financial strength and credit history of the builder. The
origination of construction loans is expected to remain an active lending area
for the Bank given the prior success and profitability of the program. The Bank
also originates commercial construction loans, typically for the purpose of
constructing an owner-occupied structure.

         On a more limited basis, the Bank originates land loans. Land loans
extended by Compass are both to individuals as well as developers of small
residential subdivisions.

         Exhibit I-10B shows loan portfolio information for Sandwich Bancorp as
of March 31, 1998, as well as the loan portfolio composition for Compass as of
February 28, 1998, and the two institutions on a pro forma merged basis. The
data reflects that Sandwich Bancorp has more heavily emphasized 1-4 family
residential mortgage lending as well as construction and land development
lending. Sandwich Bancorp maintains approximately the same proportion of
commercial/multi-family mortgage loans as Compass, while Sandwich Bancorp has
not heavily emphasized non-mortgage lending. In this regard, non-mortgage loans
extended by Sandwich Bancorp have primarily been made to existing customers
whereas Compass has been actively soliciting new customers and seeking to
increase the balance of indirect loans.

         Exhibit I-11 reflects loan origination activity for Compass for the
last three fiscal years and the four months ended February 28, 1998. The data
reflects that non-mortgage loans have recently comprised over half of total
volume, reflecting the emphasis on higher yields and shorter duration. Overall,
loan volumes have been subject to increase since fiscal 1995, and totaled $441.2
million for the 12 months ended February 28, 1998. Most loans are originated
internally, although Compass will occasionally purchase participation interests
in loans originated by other local lenders (primarily commercial real estate or
C&I loans). Loan sales totaled $33.2 million in fiscal 1997 and $21.3 million
during the first four months of fiscal 1998, and primarily consist of the sale
of long-term fixed rate loans to the secondary market.

         The Sandwich Bancorp merger is expected to enhance loan origination
capacity, as a result of the expanded retail presence in Barnstable and southern
Plymouth Counties. Compass currently originates loans on a decentralized basis
through four regional offices (New Bedford, Fall River, Plymouth and Martha's
Vineyard) in order to compete more effectively with other 




RP Financial, LC.
Page 1.21


community banks and mortgage brokers and bankers. Compass anticipates opening a
fifth office in Barnstable County on a post-acquisition basis to complement
expanded retail branch network. Additionally, Sandwich originates loans through
loan correspondents and Compass may retain these correspondent relationships on
a post-acquisition basis.


Asset Quality
- -------------

         As shown in Exhibit I-12, Compass' level of non-performing assets
("NPAs") has generally been improved over the last five fiscal years,
notwithstanding the increase in higher risk-weight loans, including indirect
auto loans and commercial mortgage and non-mortgage loans. As of February 28,
1998, non-performing assets consisted of $9.9 million of non-accruing loans and
$1.2 million of OREO. Overall, NPAs equaled $11.1 million, equal to 0.97 percent
of assets, as of February 28, 1998. Valuation allowances were equal to 1.27
percent and 96.55 percent of total loans and NPAs, respectively.

         Exhibit I-12B shows past due loans and real estate owned for Sandwich
Bancorp as of March 31, 1998, as well as the past due loans and real estate
owned for Compass on a pro forma basis incorporating the Sandwich Bancorp
merger. Sandwich Bancorp maintains comparatively stronger asset quality ratios,
with NPAs equal to 0.60 percent of assets. On a merged basis, Compass will
report pro forma non performing loans equal to $12.7 million, total pro forma
NPAs equal to $14.3 million, and an NPA to assets ratio of 0.85 percent.
Valuation allowances will equal 1.22 percent and 104.22 percent of total loans
and NPAs, respectively.

         The Bank's emphasis on high risk-weight lending facilitated earnings
growth since fiscal 1993, but it has also increased credit risk exposure as
well. The moderate level of NPAs may reflect the relatively favorable economic
conditions currently. Several other credit related risk factors of note include:
(1) the Bank's reserve coverage ratio is low relative to industry averages both
in relation to NPAs and to total loans, particularly given the risk profile of
the loan portfolio; (2) the limited seasoning of the Bank's newer loans,
particularly given the types of lending dominating recent growth; and (3) the
Bank maintains some large credit concentrations which may increase the Bank's
exposure, particularly in the commercial arena. These factors are mitigated
somewhat by Compass' favorable loan loss experience.

Funding Strategy
- ----------------

         Deposits have consistently been the Bank's primary source of funds and,
at February 28, 1998, deposits accounted for more than 90 percent of
interest-bearing liabilities. Exhibits I-13 and I-13B provide data pertaining to
the deposit composition for Compass as of February 28, 1998, Sandwich as of
March 31, 1998 as well as both institutions on a pro forma merged basis. The
Bank's deposit composition has consistently reflected a relatively large
concentration in transaction and savings accounts, averaging $446.1 million, or
47.3 percent of average deposits for the four months ended February 28, 1998.
The ratio of transaction and savings accounts reflects a modest reduction from
the average ratio of 51.1 percent reported for fiscal 1995, although the
absolute balance of these accounts increased modestly.

         The remainder of the Bank's deposit base consists of CDs, primarily
short-term CDs (maturities of less than one year). For the four months ended
February 28, 1998, the CD portfolio averaged $497.3 million, or 52.7 percent of
average deposits. Jumbo CDs (balances of $100,000 or more) amounted to $86.4
million, or 17.10 percent of CDs and 9.08 percent of total deposits.

         Sandwich Bancorp has a similar retail deposit structure with the one
significant difference being the higher proportion of NOW accounts. Sandwich
Bancorp's money market accounts comprised the largest segment of non-CD
balances, equaling $104.5 million, or 24.74 percent of total deposits. Overall,
Sandwich Bancorp's deposits will marginally reduce Compass' deposit costs.

         Borrowings have been utilized by Compass on a limited basis in recent
periods, primarily as a means of extending the duration of liabilities in view
of customer resistance to locking up long term funds in CDs. Overall, FHLB
advances totaled $66.9 million while other short term borrowings equaled $11.4
million. Likewise, Sandwich had approximately $47.6 million with most maturing
within two years although there was a limited amount of long-term borrowings.
Anticipated deposit growth, the offering proceeds and internal cash flows should
adequately address most of the Bank's funding needs in the foreseeable future.
Compass may use additional borrowings for interest rate risk or leveraging
purposes provided the spreads justify such funding.

Year 2000 Plan
- --------------

         Compass began addressing the Year 2000 ("Y2K") issue in the fall of
1996 when it formed the Y2K project team which subsequently developed the Y2K
action plan approved by the Board December 1997. Compass believes the Y2K action
plan is in conformity with the Federal Financial Institutions Examination
Council ("FFIEC") Year 2000 Statement of May 5, 1997. The final cost to ensure
Y2K readiness is estimated to be in the range of $0.5 to $1.0 million.


Environmental Issues
- --------------------

         There are no known outstanding environmental issues with respect to
Compass' office properties or properties in which the Bank maintains a lien
interest which, in management's judgment, would have a material adverse impact
on financial condition or operations.


Legal Proceedings
- -----------------

         Compass and Sandwich Bancorp are not currently involved in any legal
proceedings other than routine legal proceedings that occur in the ordinary
course of business, which, in aggregate, involve amounts that are believed to be
material to the financial condition of the Bank.

                                 II. MARKET AREA


         Compass conducts operations out of its main office in New Bedford,
Massachusetts, and a total of 23 branch offices including 14 in Bristol County,
5 in Dukes County (Martha's Vineyard Island) and two in Bristol County, all of
which are situated in southeastern Massachusetts. Additionally, the Bank
operates two limited service offices in area high schools, and a network of 25
branch and remote automated teller machines ("ATMs"). Sandwich operates through
its main office in Sandwich, Massachusetts and ten branch offices, which
includes 9 offices in Barnstable County and two offices in Plymouth County.
Sandwich's offices are located generally in markets contiguous and complimentary
to those served by Compass. Following the acquisition, Sandwich will be merged
with and into Compass and Sandwich's branches will operate as branches of
Compass (Exhibit II-1 provides information regarding the branch offices).
Sandwich's administrative operations will be merged with those of the Bank.

         The Bank's markets in southeast Massachusetts has a long history of
economic prominence in the state and nation. The region made its early fortunes
in whaling and fishing. As the whaling trade died out in the 1840s,
manufacturing became the dominant industry with textile and shoe manufacturing
being the preeminent industries. The area went through a long period of general
decline from the 1920's into the early 1980s as manufacturing and the textile
industries moved to other areas while the region was largely bypassed by the
defense and high technology industries which became increasingly important in
the Boston area. In the 1980s, strong economic growth returned to southeast
Massachusetts fostered by improved highways and inexpensive housing costs. The
region's unemployment rate fell from 9.2 percent in 1983 to 4.3 percent in 1988,
reflecting strong growth in the retail/wholesale trade sectors, services, and
the construction industry. Subsequently, the recession of the early 1990s wiped
out all the economic gains of the previous decade and the region's unemployment
rose to 12 percent in 1990.

         Southeast Massachusetts economic base is still dominated by
manufacturing with concentrations remaining in the historic textile and shoe
industries and significant electronics and jewelry production. Despite steep
losses before and throughout the 1983-1991 period, manufacturing still accounts
for 23 percent of all employment in the region, compared with the

Page 2.2


statewide average of 17.2 percent. Manufacturing ranges from over 50 percent of
total private employment in Attleboro, 35 percent in Fall River, 33 percent in
New Bedford and 23 percent in Taunton. Manufacturing employment is supplemented
by the tourism, agriculture and fishing industries and New Bedford remains a
large seaport.

         The following sections analyze the market area's historical and
forecasted demographic growth trends, economy, and the competitive environment
to help determine the growth potential that exists for the Bank. The ability of
the market area to provide growth opportunities for Compass is an important
consideration that is reflected in the Bank's pro forma market value analysis.


Market Area Demographics
- ------------------------


         Demographic trends in the Bank's market are an important indicator of
future growth potential. The following sections evaluate several key demographic
factors impacting Compass, including trends in population, number of households
and household income distribution data for the primary market areas (see Table
2.1). Examined are figures for the U.S. overall, the State of Massachusetts and
the Bank's primary markets (i.e., the four county market in southeastern
Massachusetts where Compass and Sandwich maintain a retail presence). Compass'
markets have experienced uneven growth as demographic growth in Bristol County
has been comparatively modest while relatively strong in Barnstable and Dukes
Counties (i.e., Cape Cod and Martha's Vineyard). Specifically, the data shows
that between 1990 and 1997, the population of Bristol County, where Compass
maintains 14 offices and nearly 60 percent of the Bank's total deposits
(inclusive of the Sandwich acquisition), increased at a slow 0.2 percent annual
rate. Conversely, the population of outlying areas, where the Bank maintains a
relatively smaller proportionate market share, has realized more favorable
growth trends. For example, in Plymouth County, the population growth rate
equaled 0.8 percent on an annual basis while the population of Barnstable
County, where the majority of Sandwich's operations are located, have increased
at rates in excess of the state and national average. Population growth trends
observed above are projected to continue over the next five year period, with
areas such as Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket (the "Cape and Islands")
as well as portions of Plymouth County projected to experience the most
favorable growth trends.

         Median household and per capita income levels in the primary market
area reflect the distinct socioeconomic markets served by the Bank. Post-Merger
Compass will serve a broad market spectrum of the population ranging from
relatively affluent white collar professionals, particularly in Plymouth County,
to a lower income blue collar customer base in the New Bedford and Fall River
areas. For example, in 1997, Bristol County reported a median household income
of $37,028, which was below the state average and approximately equivalent to
the national average. In contrast, the median household income in Plymouth
County equaled $45,884, which exceeded both the state and national averages.


Economy
- -------

         As discussed earlier, the regional economy of southeastern
Massachusetts is still dominated by manufacturing. Large employers in the New
Bedford/Fall River areas include Titleist and Footjoy Worldwide in Fairhaven
employing 1500 workers and Polaroid in New Bedford employing in excess of 800
workers. The economy of Barnstable County (Cape Cod), where Sandwich conducts
the majority of its operations, remains highly dependent upon the tourism
industry but such dependence has lessened over the last decade as the number of
permanent residents has increased.


       Textile and Apparel Industry
       ----------------------------

         Southeastern Massachusetts (the "Southeast Region") is home to the
largest concentration of textile and apparel manufacturers in the state. In
1991, there were 4,921 people employed in the production of textiles in the
Southeast, representing an 11.4 percent decrease from the 1988 level of 5,557.
Textile manufacturers in the Southeast Region tend to specialize in narrow niche
markets. Examples include: Globe Manufacturing Company of Fall River, which
produces rubber thread and spandex fiber; Bacon Felt of Taunton, which produces
felt to be used in a variety of medical and industrial applications; and Albany
International in Mansfield, which produces fabrics with many military and
industrial applications. Quaker Fabrics of Fall River, employing nearly 1,400
workers, makes textile fabrics used in furniture upholstery, car interiors and
military camouflage uniforms.

Page 2.5


       Marine Science and Electronics
       ------------------------------

         The Southeast Region and adjacent Cape Cod are home to one of the
largest concentrations of marine science firms in the world. While the marine
science industry currently accounts for modest levels of employment, future
growth will be fueled by the existence of the region's network of research
institutions such as the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute, the marine science
program at the University of Massachusetts at Dartmouth, the marine engineering
program at the Massachusetts Maritime Academy, the Newport Naval Underwater
Systems Center and the marine science program at the University of Rhode Island.


       Fishing
       -------

         The Southeast Region continues to be one of the nation's premier
fishing centers. While total employment in the fisheries industry has declined
over the last decade, southeastern Massachusetts is still home to major fishing
fleets and the Port of New Bedford.


       Jewelry and Silver Plating
       --------------------------

         Approximately 4,500 people are employed in the jewelry and silver
plating industry in the region. Swank, Inc., with facilities in Attleboro and
Taunton, employ over 1,000 people in the production of men's and women's
jewelry.


       Food Processing and Distribution
       --------------------------------

         The largest employer in the food processing industry is Ocean Spray
Cranberries with approximately 2,500 workers. The Brockton area contains a
substantial concentration of supermarket headquarters, food distribution and
packaging firms.

         Table 2.2 displays unemployment trends for the markets served by the
Bank. Overall, unemployment rates in the Bank's markets, with the exception of
Plymouth County, are in excess of the state and national averages. Importantly,
the February unemployment data reflects the high off-season unemployment on Cape
Code and Martha's Vineyard.

Market Area Deposit Characteristics and Competition
- ---------------------------------------------------

         Table 2.3 displays deposit market trends in the market area from June
30, 1995 to June 30, 1997, the latest date for which complete branch deposit
data is publicly available. The large volume of economic activity in the market
area, coupled with the relative proximity to the Boston metropolitan area,
results in a significant level of competition, particularly from several
superregional banks including Fleet and Bank Boston. Thus, from a competitive
standpoint, Compass is seeking to emphasize its local orientation in
southeastern Massachusetts including the Cape and Islands. At the same time, the
acquisition will enhance Compass' ability to compete with the many larger
companies in its markets through an expanded retail network, particularly in
Barnstable County.

         Deposit growth in the market area was generally moderate over the
period from 1995 to 1997, equaling 1.4 percent in Bristol County and 3.8 percent
in Barnstable County. Importantly, the deposit growth rates of both Compass and
Sandwich in their largest markets exceeded the market average, resulting in a
modest increase to their respective market shares. Overall, Compass maintains an
approximate 13 percent share of the deposit market in Bristol County and 29
percent of the market in Dukes County. Sandwich maintains a 10 percent share of
the market in Barnstable County and in Plymouth County, the only area where the
Compass/Sandwich branch network overlap, Compass will maintain a relatively
small 3 percent share of the market on a pro forma basis following the Merger.
Also notable is the significant competition posed by credit unions which hold a
23 percent and 22 percent market share in Bristol and Plymouth Counties,
respectively.

                            III. PEER GROUP ANALYSIS


         This chapter presents an analysis of Compass' operations versus a group
of comparable savings institutions (the "Peer Group") selected from the universe
of all publicly-traded savings institutions in a manner consistent with the
regulatory valuation guidelines. The basis of the pro forma market valuation of
Compass is derived from the pricing ratios of the Peer Group institutions,
incorporating valuation adjustments to account for key differences relative to
the Peer Group. Since no Peer Group can be exactly comparable to Compass, key
areas examined for differences are: financial condition; profitability, growth
and viability of earnings; assets growth; primary market area; dividends;
liquidity of the shares; marketing of the issue; management; and effect of
government regulations and regulatory reform. The following Peer Group selection
criteria and comparative analysis relative to Compass considered the pro forma
impact of the Sandwich Bancorp merger as set forth in the merger agreement.


Selection of Peer Group
- -----------------------

         The Peer Group selection process is governed by the general parameters
set forth in the regulatory valuation guidelines. Accordingly, the Peer Group is
comprised of only those publicly-traded savings institutions whose common stock
is either listed on a national exchange (NYSE or AMEX) or NASDAQ, since the
stock trading activity is regularly reported and generally more frequent than
non-publicly traded and closely-held institutions. Non-listed institutions are
inappropriate since the trading activity for thinly-traded or closely-held
stocks is typically highly irregular in terms of frequency and price and thus
may not be a reliable indicator of market value. We have also excluded from the
Peer Group those companies under acquisition or subject to rumored acquisition,
mutual holding companies and recent conversions, since their pricing ratios are
subject to unusual distortion and/or have limited trading history. A recent
listing of the universe of all publicly-traded savings institutions is included
as Exhibit III-1.

         Ideally, the Peer Group, which must have at least 10 members to comply
with the regulatory valuation guidelines, should be comprised of locally or
regionally-based institutions with comparable resources, strategies and
financial characteristics. Since there are approximately 400 publicly-traded
institutions nationally, it is typically the case that the Peer

Page 3.2


Group will be comprised of institutions with relatively comparable rather than
identical characteristics. To the extent that differences exist between the
converting institution and the Peer Group, valuation adjustments are applied to
account for the differences.

         In deriving Compass' Peer Group, the following selection criteria
resulted in a reasonably comparable group of New England savings institutions
not subject to acquisition or in MHC form: total assets ranging from $500
million to $5 billion, equity/assets over 6 percent and generally strong core
profitability. A total of 13 institutions met the foregoing criteria but only 11
were included in the Peer Group. SIS Bancorp was excluded since the full impact
of the recent completed, relatively large acquisition of Glastonbury Bank &
Trust was not reflected in trailing 12 month financial results. NSS Bancorp was
excluded due to the perceived impact of the current proxy fight on current
pricing ratios. Table 3.1 shows the general characteristics of each of the 11
Peer Group companies and Exhibit III-3 provides summary demographic and deposit
market share data for the primary market areas served by each of the Peer Group
companies.

         While there are expectedly some differences relative to Compass (merged
basis), we believe that the Peer Group companies, on average, provide a good
basis for valuation subject to valuation adjustments. The following sections
present a comparison of Compass' financial condition, income and expense trends,
loan composition, interest rate and credit risk (on a merged basis) versus the
Peer Group as of the most recent publicly available date. A brief introduction
to each Peer Group member appears below, in descending asset size corresponding
with Table 3.1, along with a brief comparison to Compass.


    Andover Bancorp of MA. Andover Bancorp, with a total of $1.3 billion of
    assets, operates through 12 offices in Massachusetts and New Hampshire.
    Andover Bancorp maintains a similar ratio of loans/assets but a smaller
    proportion of non-mortgage loans, as operations are focused on mortgage
    banking. Net earnings levels are similar although Andover Bancorp's more
    traditional asset composition is reflected in lower asset yields and
    operating expenses.


    First Essex Bancorp of MA. First Essex, with $1.2 billion of assets,
    operates 15 branch offices in Massachusetts and New Hampshire. Although
    First Essex maintains a lower proportion of assets in loans, First Essex's
    loan portfolio also reflects significant diversification into non-mortgage
    commercial and consumer loans. First Essex has also facilitated recent
    growth through acquisition.

    FirstFed America Bancorp, Inc. of MA. FirstFed America, with assets in
    excess of $1.0 billion, is a direct competitor of Compass in several
    Massachusetts markets, but also operates branches in Rhode Island. FirstFed
    America is primarily a residential lender but also competes with Compass for
    commercial and consumer loans in Bristol County to a limited extent. While
    FirstFed America reported lower profitability, core profitability was
    relatively comparable.


    Medford Bancorp, Inc. of MA. Medford Bancorp, with $1.1 billion of assets,
    operates through 16 branch offices within the greater Boston metropolitan
    area. Medford Bancorp generates a comparable profitability and has pursued
    moderate loan portfolio diversification. Medford Bancorp has utilized
    borrowed funds to a modestly greater extent.


    First FS&LA of East Hartford. First Federal of East Hartford, with slightly
    less than $1 billion of total assets, operates 12 offices in the Hartford
    metropolitan area. First Federal maintains a greater wholesale orientation
    as reflected in a higher level of investments, MBS and borrowed funds. First
    Federal's lower profitability is commensurate with the lower credit risk
    profile.


    BostonFed Bancorp of MA. BostonFed Bancorp, with $975 million of assets,
    operates through 10 branches in the greater Boston metropolitan area.
    BostonFed Bancorp is primarily a residential mortgage lender and engages in
    greater secondary market activities. BostonFed Bancorp's lower profitability
    is largely attributable to a higher cost of funding.


    MassBank Corp. of MA. MassBank Corp., with a total of $925 million of
    assets, operates through 15 offices in eastern Massachusetts. MassBank Corp.
    is primarily a residential lender with a comparatively high ratio of
    investments and MBS. Earnings are strong, notwithstanding a moderate net
    interest margin, as a result of a low operating expense ratio.


    MECH Financial, Inc. of CT. MECH Financial, with $892 million in assets,
    operates 14 offices in the greater Hartford area. MECH Financial's loan
    portfolio diversification primarily reflects an emphasis in income property
    lending. MECH Financial's higher profitability, notwithstanding higher loan
    loss provisions, reflects greater non-interest operating income.


    American Bank of Waterbury. American Bank, with $639 million in assets,
    operates 10 branches in western Connecticut. American Bank's loan portfolio
    diversification primarily reflects an emphasis in income property lending.
    American Bank's stronger profitability reflects a relatively low operating
    expense ratio.

    MetroWest Bank of MA. MetroWest Bank, with $609 million in assets, operates
    12 branches in eastern Massachusetts. MetroWest Bank's loan portfolio
    diversification primarily reflects an emphasis in income property lending.
    MetroWest Bank's strong profitability is attributable, in part, to its low
    effective tax rate.


    Abington Bancorp of MA. Abington Bancorp, with $532 million in assets,
    operates 8 branches in markets south of Boston. Abington Bancorp is
    primarily a residential mortgage lender, with an emphasis on mortgage
    banking. Abington Bancorp's lower profitability largely reflects a lower net
    interest income ratio.


         In the aggregate, the Peer Group companies are less highly capitalized
than the two industry groups shown below, with generally comparable core
profitability, resulting in a higher core return on equity ratio. Overall, the
Peer Group's pricing ratios are relatively consistent with Massachusetts thrifts
(since most were included in the Peer Group) but are very distinct relative to
all publicly-traded thrifts, with a book multiple premium and an earnings
multiple discount, largely reflecting the lower capitalization and higher ROE of
the Peer Group.

         The following comparative analyses are based on the latest
publicly-available financial information for both Compass and the Peer Group.
For Compass, such information is as of February 28, 1998 and gives effect for
the merger with Sandwich Bancorp with financial data as of March 31, 1998.
Comparative financial data for the Peer Group is generally as of December 31,
1997.

Financial Condition
- -------------------

         After giving effect to the merger, Compass should maintain an asset
size advantage relative to the Peer Group (approximately $1.7 billion versus the
Peer Group average of $943 million). Compass (incorporating the pooling merger
of Sandwich) experienced modestly lower asset growth the last 12 months relative
to the Peer Group average, 8.7 and 12.3 percent, respectively. The source of
growth was different, as the Peer Group experienced relatively greater growth in
the cash and investments portfolio than loans and MBS while Compass' growth was
primarily in loans and MBS. The loan and MBS portfolios of Compass (merged
basis) increased by nearly 13 percent, largely the result of growth in loans,
closely tracking the Peer Group growth. In contrast, the cash and investments
portfolio increased strongly for the Peer Group, with the Peer Group's 25
percent growth standing in contrast to portfolio shrinkage realized by Compass.
Following conversion, Compass' portfolio of cash and investments will surge
pending longer-term deployment of the offering proceeds into loans.

         The Peer Group's deposit growth the last 12 months is roughly 1.5 times
faster than Compass' 8 percent growth rate. Compass relied more heavily on
borrowed funds to support asset growth than the Peer Group over the past 12
months. On a post-conversion basis, Compass' borrowings utilization may diminish
somewhat given the expected infusion of liquid funds. Growth of the Peer Group's
funding liabilities on average was more balanced among deposits and borrowings.
Compass' deposit growth over the next year may be adversely impacted by deposit
withdrawals to fund conversion stock purchases and potential deposit runoff at
Sandwich following acquisition (which has been a characteristic in other
acquisitions).

         The Peer Group is comparably capitalized relative to Compass (merged
basis) on both a reported and tangible capital basis, before the conversion
transaction impact, and both Compass and the Peer Group meet the FDICIA
"well-capitalized" standard. Specifically, Compass' current reported and
tangible capital levels of 8.7 and 8.5 percent of assets, respectively, are
comparable to the Peer Group's reported and tangible capital levels of 8.7 and
8.4 percent, respectively. Compass' pro forma capital following conversion is
anticipated to exceed the Peer Group average, providing greater leverage
potential but reducing the pro forma ROE below the Peer Group average. Compass'
tangible equity the past year grew more quickly than the average

Peer Group member, given the various capital strategies employed by the Peer
Group, particularly dividends and stock repurchases.

         Compass' interest-earning assets ("IEA") position (including cash and
equivalents) of 96.0 percent of assets compares less favorably to the Peer Group
average of 97.0 percent, before factoring in the conversion proceeds. Compass
maintains a higher proportion of assets in loans, as the Peer Group has engaged
in more extensive wholesale leveraging. As a result, the loans/assets ratio of
71.9 percent for Compass exceeded the Peer Group average of 58.9 percent.
Accordingly, while the asset mix provides the Bank an asset yield advantage,
Compass' credit risk profile and operating expense ratio are comparatively
greater.

         Compass' interest-bearing liabilities ("IBL") ratio of 90.1 percent of
assets is relatively comparable to the Peer Group's ratio of 90.3 percent,
reflecting Compass' comparable pre-conversion capitalization. On a
post-conversion basis, Compass can be expected to gain an advantage with the
infusion of new capital and the extent to which deposits are withdrawn to fund
stock purchases. Currently, Compass' funding liabilities are primarily comprised
of deposits, with more limited borrowings utilization than the Peer Group. On a
merged basis, Compass has approximately 52 percent of total deposits in the form
of time deposits, nearly identical to the Peer Group average. Compass maintained
roughly 16 percent of deposits in transaction accounts whereas the Peer Group
average fell just short of 15 percent. Compass' borrowings/assets ratio
approximated 7.6 percent, compared to 20.6 percent for the Peer Group. Compass'
borrowings are expected to remain more limited on a post-conversion basis given
the infusion of a significant amount of cash from the conversion which will
diminish the need for funds initially.

         The relationship of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing
liabilities reveals a key element of earnings power. In this regard, Compass'
IEA/IBL ratio of 106.6 percent compares slightly unfavorably to the Peer Group
ratio of 107.4 percent. On a post-conversion basis, Compass can be expected to
gain a distinct advantage in this regard.

         The strengthened capital position from conversion, the potential
withdrawal of deposits to purchase conversion stock and the reinvestment of
proceeds should enhance Compass' financial position and earnings power.

Income and Expense Trends
- -------------------------

         Reported profitability for the past 12 months approximated 1.09 and
0.97 percent of average assets for Compass and the Peer Group, respectively (see
Table 3.3). While profitability was relatively comparable, the components of
core earnings are illustrative of the differences between the Bank and the Peer
Group.

       Net Interest Income
       -------------------

         Compass maintains a higher proportion of loans/assets and greater loan
portfolio diversification, which generate a higher level of net interest income
and non-interest fee income but also result in a higher level of operating costs
and higher credit risk profile. Compass' interest income ratio of 7.47 percent
of average assets was above the Peer Group average of 7.16 percent. The Bank
also maintains a lower cost of funds, 3.76 percent versus 4.02 percent for the
Peer Group, primarily reflecting the Bank's lower borrowings utilization. As a
result, Compass maintains a net interest income ratio advantage over the Peer
Group by approximately 55 basis points. Following reinvestment of the conversion
proceeds, Compass' net interest income ratio can be expected to increase,
although asset yields may be diluted as such funds are initially expected to be
invested into short- to intermediate-term securities.

       Provisions for Loan Losses
       --------------------------

         During the last 12 months, provision for loan losses for Compass and
the Peer Group represented 0.14 percent and 0.25 percent of average assets,
respectively, although the Peer Group median equaled only 0.18 percent of
average assets (the difference between the mean and median was primarily
attributable to one Peer Group member with very high provisions during the last
12 months). Compass' higher credit risk profile suggests that loan loss
provisions may exceed the Peer Group average - this will be discussed in a later
section.

       Non-Interest Income
       -------------------

         Compass generates higher non-interest operating income than the Peer
Group, based on levels of 0.48 percent and 0.43 percent of average assets,
respectively. The majority of Compass' non-interest operating income is
generated from fees on the core deposit base, loan fees, and ATM card fees.
Compass' higher fee income is partially attributable to the Bank's efforts to
generate less traditional sources of revenue and that retail operations comprise
a greater

proportion of total assets in comparison to the Peer Group who is more dependent
on wholesale leveraging on average.

       Operating Expenses
       ------------------

         Compass maintains a higher operating expense ratio than the Peer Group,
2.28 and 2.01 percent of average assets, respectively (excluding goodwill
amortization and non-operating items). Compass' higher operating expense ratio
is the result of several factors, including: (1) the Peer Group's greater
wholesale leveraging (which requires little marginal overhead expense); (2)
Compass' greater revenue diversification efforts; and (3) Compass' greater
diversification into higher risk weight loans as well as higher asset mix in
loans, which require greater administration. Following the conversion and
acquisition transactions, there are expected to be opposing forces on Compass'
operating expense ratio. First, merger synergies are expected to lead to a
reduction in operating expenses, primarily in terms of compensation and
benefits. Such cost savings are expected to be partially offset by some
consolidating expenditures and related marketing. The Bank's operating expenses
can also be expected to increase with the incorporation of the Employee Stock
Ownership Plan and public company operations and the construction of a new
headquarters facility.

       Net Non-Operating Items
       -----------------------

         Compass reported similar net non-operating income relative to the Peer
Group, 5 and 3 basis points, respectively. Compass' non-operating revenues were
attributable primarily to gains on the sale of loans and investments, comparable
to the Peer Group's sources.

       Efficiency Ratio
       ----------------

         Compass operates with a comparable pre-conversion efficiency ratio
(operating expenses, excluding goodwill amortization, as a percent of the sum of
net interest income before loan loss provisions and other operating income)
relative to the Peer Group, equal to 55 and 56 percent, respectively. The
efficiency ratio is another indicator of core earnings strength and the Bank and
the Peer Group have a comparable level of core earnings. Compass' efficiency
ratio is expected to improve on a post-conversion basis with the investment of
the net conversion proceeds and the net impact of potential merger synergies and
public company/stock plan expense.

       Income Taxes
       ------------

         Compass' effective tax rate of 38.05 percent was slightly below the
Peer Group's average effective tax rate of 40.12 percent. The Bank's effective
tax rate may decline slightly as a result of certain tax planning strategies
which are also available to the Peer Group members.


Loan Portfolio Composition
- --------------------------

         Perhaps one of the greatest differences between Compass and the Peer
Group is loan portfolio composition, with Compass having a more diversified loan
portfolio than the Peer Group (see Table 3.4). As noted earlier, Compass
maintains a higher proportion of assets in loans. Compass' loan portfolio also
reflects greater diversification into high risk-weight loans, particularly C&I
loans and consumer loans, 4.60 and 19.44 percent of loans and MBS, respectively,
exceeding the Peer Group averages of 3.77 percent and 2.73 percent,
respectively. The Bank's portfolio of construction and commercial mortgage loans
more closely approximated the Peer Group average, and the proportion of
residential mortgage loans, inclusive of MBS, was below the Peer Group average.
As a result of the foregoing, Compass' risk weighted assets to total assets
ratio of 64.9 percent well exceeded the Peer Group average 54.8 percent.

         Overall, the Compass loan portfolio appears to provide the Bank with an
avenue for growth and stronger yield potential than the Peer Group. At the same
time, the level of NPAs coupled with loan portfolio composition leads to
comparatively greater credit risk than for the Peer Group on average.

         Although the Peer Group on average is smaller than Compass, the Peer
Group services more loans for others than Compass, largely due to three Peer
Group members. The Peer Group's capitalized mortgage servicing rights represent
44 basis points of the balance serviced for others; in contrast, the Bank's
capitalized portion was de minimus.


Credit Risk
- -----------

         Overall, Compass' credit risk exposure appears to be significantly
greater than the Peer Group's, as indicated by the Bank's higher proportion of
assets in loans, greater diversification into higher risk lending, the larger
size of C&I loans, the nature of indirect lending and higher level of
non-performing assets. As shown in Table 3.5, Compass' ratio of non-performing
assets

and accruing loans more than 90 days past due equaled 0.85 percent of assets,
versus a comparative ratio of 0.56 percent for the Peer Group. Similarly,
Compass' non-performing loans to loans ratio was higher than the Peer Group's
ratio (1.05 percent versus 0.86 percent for the Peer Group). Loss reserve ratios
as a percent of problem assets also indicated a potentially higher degree of
credit risk exposure for the Bank, with the Bank and the Peer Group maintaining
loss reserves as a percent of non-performing assets and accruing loans that are
more than 90 days past due of 116.75 percent and 270.16 percent, respectively.
Net loan charge-offs were not a material factor for either the Bank or the Peer
Group during the period covered in Table 3.5.


Interest Rate Risk
- ------------------

         Public companies are not required to report interest rate risk in a
standard fashion and many do not specifically quantify their interest rate risk
on a regular basis. Furthermore, the computation of interest rate risk is
predicated on numerous assumptions, many of which are unique among institutions.
As a result, we have sought to measure interest rate risk by evaluating balance
sheet composition and recent quarterly changes in net interest income ratio.

         Currently, Compass' asset composition suggests greater interest rate
risk given its higher non-earning assets, resulting in a lower IEA/IBL ratio. As
a result, Compass has greater dependence on the yield-cost spread to sustain the
net interest income ratio. Compass' advantage in terms of post-conversion
capital ratio should diminish the current comparative disadvantage in this
regard.

         Compass has maintained a comparable fluctuation in net interest income
ratio during the last 5 quarters, as compared to the Peer Group average,
suggesting comparable interest rate risk exposure. It is expected that the
infusion of stock proceeds will serve to further enhance the stability of
Compass' net interest income ratio.


Market Area and Competitive Characteristics
- -------------------------------------------

         As indicated previously, all 11 Peer Group companies are regionally
based, and thus share similar market area and competitive characteristics with
Compass (refer to Exhibit III-3). A few of the Peer Group companies are direct
regional competitors of Compass and seven of the

Peer Group members primarily operate within the greater Boston metropolitan
area. In general, the Peer Group members serve urban or suburban markets within
the New England market.

         While the Bank's pro forma assets exceed the Peer Group average and
each company individually, the resources of each are generally comparable in a
broad sense, i.e., more than a one or two office institution but substantially
less than the major regional and superregional competition. Both operate
substantial branch office networks and compete in urban/suburban markets with
significantly larger commercial banks. In general, Compass and the Peer Group
are primarily mortgage lenders, although Compass has diversified its lending
operations to a greater degree. Compass maintains a greater primary market area
deposit market share than the Peer Group, although the Bank operates in a
relatively smaller market and is increasingly subject to greater competition
from credit unions.

                             IV. VALUATION ANALYSIS


Introduction
- ------------

         This chapter presents the valuation analysis, prepared pursuant to the
regulatory valuation guidelines, and valuation adjustments and assumptions used
to determine the estimated pro forma market value of the common stock to be
issued in conjunction with Compass' conversion transaction.


Appraisal Guidelines
- --------------------

         The OTS appraisal guidelines, most recently amended in written form in
October 1994, and applicable interpretations thereof, specify the methodology
for estimating the pro forma market value of an institution pursuant to a
mutual-to-stock conversion. Such valuation guidelines are relied upon by the
Massachusetts Division of Banks and the FDIC in evaluating conversion appraisals
in the absence of such specific guidelines separately issued by the respective
agencies. The valuation methodology provides for: (1) the selection of a peer
group of comparable publicly-traded institutions, excluding those converted for
less than a year, subject to acquisition or in MHC form; (2) a financial and
operational comparison of the subject company to the selected peer group,
identifying key differences and similarities; and (3) a valuation analysis in
which the pro forma market value of the subject company is determined based on
the market pricing of the peer group as of the date of valuation, incorporating
valuation adjustments for key differences. In addition, the pricing
characteristics of recent conversions, both at conversion and in the
aftermarket, must be considered.


RP Financial Approach to the Valuation
- --------------------------------------

         RP Financial's valuation analysis complies with the above-referenced
appraisal guidelines. Accordingly, the valuation incorporates a detailed
analysis based on the Peer Group discussed in Chapter III, incorporating
"fundamental analysis" techniques. Additionally, the valuation incorporates a
"technical analysis" of recently completed stock conversions, including closing
pricing and aftermarket trading. It should be noted that such analyses cannot
possibly

fully account for all the market forces which impact trading activity and
pricing characteristics of a particular stock on a given day.

         The pro forma market value determined herein is a preliminary value for
the to-be-issued stock. Throughout the conversion process, RP Financial will:
(1) review changes in Compass' operations and financial condition (inclusive of
the operations and financial condition of Sandwich Bancorp); (2) monitor
Compass' operations and financial condition relative to the Peer Group to
identify any fundamental changes; (3) monitor the external factors affecting
value including, but not limited to, local and national economic conditions,
interest rates, and the stock market environment, including the market for
thrift stocks; and (4) monitor pending conversion offerings (including those in
the offering phase) both regionally and nationally. If material changes should
occur during the conversion process, RP Financial will prepare updated valuation
reports reflecting such changes and their related impact on value, if any, over
the course of the conversion process. RP Financial will also prepare a final
valuation update at the closing of the conversion offering to determine if the
preliminary range of value continues to be appropriate.

         The appraised value determined herein is based on the current market
and operating environment for Compass and for all thrifts. Subsequent changes in
the local and national economy, the legislative and regulatory environment, the
stock market, interest rates, and other external forces (such as natural
disasters or major world events), which may occur from time to time (often with
great unpredictability) may materially impact the market value of all thrift
stocks, including Compass, or Compass' value alone. To the extent a change in
factors impacting Compass' value can be reasonably anticipated and/or
quantified, RP Financial has incorporated the estimated impact into our
analysis.


Valuation Analysis
- ------------------

         A fundamental analysis discussing similarities and differences relative
to the Peer Group was presented in Chapter III. The following sections summarize
the key differences between Compass and the Peer Group and how those differences
affect the pro forma valuation. Emphasis is placed on the specific strengths and
weaknesses of Compass relative to the Peer Group in such key areas as financial
condition, profitability, growth and viability of earnings, asset growth,
primary market area, dividends, liquidity of the issue, marketing of the issue,

Page 4.3


management, and the effect of government regulations and/or regulatory reform.
We have also considered the market for thrift stocks, and in particular new
issues, to assess the impact on value of Compass coming to market at this time.

1.   Financial Condition
     -------------------

         The financial condition of an institution is an important determinant
in pro forma market value, because investors typically look to such factors as
liquidity, capital, asset composition and quality, and funding sources in
assessing investment attractiveness. The similarities and differences in the
financial condition of Compass and the Peer Group are recapped below.

     o    Overall A/L Composition. Compass currently maintains a similar
          reported and tangible capital position, but on a pro forma basis, is
          expected to exceed the Peer Group averages, thereby enhancing Compass'
          comparative earnings power based on the ratio of IEA/IBL. Compass'
          comparatively higher loans/assets indicates higher origination
          capacity and asset yields. Immediately following conversion, however,
          Compass' proportion of investments is expected to increase, which is
          expected to dilute asset yields. The Peer Group has supplemented
          deposits with higher borrowings utilization, leveraging their equity,
          fixed assets and operating expenses; in contrast, the Bank relies more
          heavily on deposits and may seek to reduce the level of existing
          borrowings given the increase to post-conversion liquidity.

     o    Credit Quality. The Bank has a greater level of credit risk exposure
          in comparison to the Peer Group, based on the Bank's higher level of
          loans/assets and NPAs, greater diversification into higher risk-weight
          loans, particularly commercial and consumer loans, and lower reserve
          coverage ratio. Furthermore, the Bank's emphasis on commercial loans
          has increased the Bank's exposure to large borrowers.

     o    Balance Sheet Liquidity. While Compass currently maintains a lower
          level of cash, investments and mortgage-backed securities than the
          Peer Group, such difference is expected to diminish on a
          post-conversion basis. The Bank appears to have greater current
          borrowings capacity than the Peer Group, as the Bank has a much
          smaller balance of borrowed funds.

     o    Capital. Compass' comparable pre-conversion capital ratio will be
          substantially enhanced with the consummation of the conversion,
          incorporating the dilutive impact of the merger transaction. The
          increase in capital will depress Compass' pro forma return on equity
          until the proceeds can be effectively reinvested and leveraged over
          time.


         On balance, we concluded that no valuation adjustment was warranted for
Compass' financial strength.



RP Financial, LC.

2.   Profitability, Growth and Viability of Earnings
     -----------------------------------------------

         Earnings are a key factor in determining pro forma market value, as the
level and risk characteristics of an institution's earnings stream and the
prospects and ability to generate future earnings heavily influence the multiple
the investment community will pay for earnings. The major earnings factors
considered in the valuation are described below.

     o    Reported and Core Earnings. Compass reported comparable profitability
          relative to the Peer Group, reflecting the Bank's stronger net
          interest income and other operating income ratios, offset by a higher
          operating expense ratio. Non-operating income and expenses were
          limited for both the Bank and the Peer Group.

     o    Interest Rate Risk. Compass appears to maintain a relatively
          comparable level of interest rate risk exposure. The anticipated
          redeployment of stock proceeds into interest-earning assets with
          short- to intermediate-term maturities should further moderate
          interest rate risk exposure.

     o    Credit Risk. Loss provisions had a slightly lesser impact on Compass'
          earnings in comparison to the Peer Group. In terms of future exposure
          to credit quality related losses, however, Compass' higher credit risk
          profile and lower reserve coverage ratio may lead to greater earnings
          risk in the event of increased delinquencies and adverse economic
          cycles.

     o    Earnings Growth Potential. Compass' post-conversion earnings growth
          potential appears to be more limited than the Peer Group since: (1)
          the deposits of the merged entity have recently grown more slowly than
          the Peer Group; and (2) the potential for the typical deposit runoff
          immediately following the merger. The net cash proceeds from
          conversion are expected to be gradually deployed into loans; however,
          it is anticipated that the yield-cost spread immediately following
          conversion will be diminished through the initial reinvestment into
          short- to intermediate-term securities. The proceeds reinvestment
          benefit will also be impacted by the annual expense of the stock
          plans, operations as a public company and leveraged ESOP.
          Merger-related synergies are anticipated, estimated to approximate
          $1.5 million pre-tax in the first year following the acquisition, $1.8
          million in year 2 and $2.0 million in year 3. The estimated synergies
          are expected to be largely derived from reductions in compensation and
          benefits costs. At the same time, in the short-run, such savings may
          initially be offset by expenses related to merging and marketing the
          combined Bank. Additionally, Compass is anticipating significant new
          investment in fixed assets including up to a $15 million investment in
          a new main office facility and one to two new branch offices annually.

     o    Return on Equity. The higher pro forma capital position will place
          Compass at a disadvantage relative to the Peer Group in terms of
          return on equity, despite higher pro forma core profitability.



RP Financial, LC.
Page 4.5


         Overall, a slight downward valuation adjustment was warranted for
profitability, growth and viability of earnings.

3.   Asset Growth
     ------------

         On a merged basis, Compass' asset growth over the past 12 months
compared unfavorably to the Peer Group. In view of the Bank's comparatively
slower deposit growth and potential post-merger deposit runoff, Compass' asset
growth potential appears to remain at a disadvantage. At the same time, Compass'
higher pro forma capitalization implies a greater ability to undertake asset
growth than the Peer Group. While the merger with Sandwich Bancorp will result
in an expanded market and retail operations, there is some risk that current
Sandwich Bancorp customers and/or affiliate relationships may not be retained on
a post-acquisition basis.

         On balance, we concluded that no adjustment was appropriate for this
factor.

4.   Primary Market Area
     --------------------

         The general condition of an institution's market area has an impact on
value, as future success is in part dependent upon opportunities for profitable
activities in the local market served. All 11 of the Peer Group companies are
based in southern New England while 7 are based in the Boston metropolitan area
and 2 Peer Group companies operate in many of the same markets as Compass on a
merged basis (FirstFed America Bancorp and Abington Bancorp). Accordingly, the
Peer Group companies are viewed as sharing similar market area and competitive
characteristics with Compass, and, on balance, are subject to similar market
area demographic and economic forces and trends.

         Summary demographic and deposit market share data for Compass and Peer
Group is provided in Exhibit III-3. The Peer Group's average asset size
approximates $943 million, which is lower than Compass' pro forma asset base of
approximately $1.7 billion. Both, however, operate substantial branch office
networks, compete with both large superregional banks and smaller
community-oriented financial institutions.

         On balance, we concluded that no adjustment was appropriate for
Compass' market area.

5.   Dividends
     ---------

         While Seacoast has not indicated its intention to commence a cash
dividend at this time, the pro forma capitalization and profitability clearly
position Seacoast to have the capacity to pay cash dividends comparable to the
Peer Group. Historically, thrifts typically have not established dividend
policies at the time of their conversion to stock ownership. Newly converted
institutions, in general, have preferred to gain market seasoning, establish an
earnings track record and fully invest the conversion proceeds before
establishing a dividend policy. However, during the late 1980s and early 1990s,
with negative publicity surrounding the thrift industry, there was a tendency
for more thrifts to initiate moderate dividend policies concurrent with their
conversion as a means of increasing the attractiveness of the stock offering.
Today, fewer institutions are compelled to initially establish dividend policies
at the time of their conversion offering as (1) industry profitability has
improved, (2) the number of problem thrift institutions has declined, and (3)
the stock market cycle for thrift stocks is generally more favorable than in the
early-1990s. At the same time, with ROE ratios under pressure, due to high
equity levels, well-capitalized institutions are subject to increased
competitive pressures to offer dividends. In fact, the dividend payout ratios
are typically higher for the more highly-capitalized thrifts.

         As publicly-traded thrifts' capital levels and profitability have
improved and as weakened institutions have been resolved, the proportion of
institutions with cash dividend policies has increased. Ten of the eleven
institutions in the Peer Group presently pay regular cash dividends, with
implied dividend yields ranging from 1.01 percent to 2.53 percent. The average
dividend yield on the stocks of the Peer Group institutions was approximately
1.71 percent as of May 8, 1998, representing an average payout ratio of
approximately 30.65 percent of core earnings. As of May 8, 1998, approximately
84 percent of all publicly-traded full stock thrifts had adopted cash dividend
policies (see Exhibit IV-1), exhibiting an average yield of 1.90 percent and an
average payout ratio of 36.32 percent. The dividend paying thrifts generally
maintain higher than average profitability ratios, facilitating their ability to
pay cash dividends, which supports a market pricing premium on average relative
to non-dividend paying thrifts.

         Given Seacoast's capacity to pay a dividend comparable to the Peer
Group based on pro forma capitalization and profitability, and since no
regulatory hurdle exists, we have not made an adjustment for this factor despite
no initial dividend policy. One consideration taken into 




RP Financial, LC.
Page 4.7


account, however, was the history of quarterly dividends paid by Sandwich
Bancorp given that no dividend policy has yet been established by Seacoast.

6.   Liquidity of the Shares
     ------------------------

         The Peer Group is by definition composed of companies that are traded
in the public markets, all of which trade on the NASDAQ system. Typically, the
number of shares outstanding and market capitalization provides an indication of
how much liquidity there will be in a particular stock. The market
capitalization of the Peer Group companies ranged from $70.4 million to $221.4
million as of May 8, 1998, with an average market value of $153.6 million. The
shares outstanding of the Peer Group members ranged from 2.7 million to 14.2
million, with an average of approximately 5.9 million. The pro forma market
value and number of shares outstanding based on the value herein are expected to
exceed the Peer Group average and each of the Peer Group companies on an
individual basis. Since the liquidity of Seacoast's stock may exceed the Peer
Group for these reasons, although there can be no certainty of such at this
time, we applied a slight upward adjustment for this factor.

7.   Marketing of the Issue
     ----------------------

         Three separate markets exist for thrift stocks: (1) the after-market
for public companies, in which trading activity is regular and investment
decisions are made based upon financial condition, earnings, capital, ROE and
dividends; (2) the new issue market in which converting thrifts are evaluated on
the basis of the same factors but on a pro forma basis without the benefit of a
stock trading history and reporting quarterly operating results as a
publicly-held company; and (3) the thrift acquisition market. All three of these
markets were considered in the valuation of Compass' to-be-issued stock.

     A.   The Public Market
          -----------------

         The value of publicly-traded thrift stocks is easily measurable, and is
tracked by most investment houses and related organizations. Exhibit IV-1
provides pricing and financial data on all publicly-traded thrifts. In general,
thrift stock values react to market stimuli such as interest rates, inflation,
perceived industry health, projected rates of economic growth, regulatory issues
and stock market conditions in general. Exhibit IV-2 displays historical stock
market

trends for various indices and includes historical stock price index values for
thrifts and commercial banks. Exhibit IV-3 displays historical stock price
indices for thrifts only.

         In terms of assessing general stock market conditions, the stock market
has generally trended higher over the past year. Profit taking, growing
expectations of a correction and comments by the Federal Reserve Chairman pulled
the market lower in late-February 1997. Following the downturn in late-February,
the market recovered in early-March. Despite increasing expectations of an
interest rate hike by the Federal Reserve, the DJIA closed to a new record high
of 7085.16 on March 11, 1997. However, an upward revision to the January retail
sales figure triggered a one day sell-off in stocks and bonds on March 13, 1997,
as the stronger than expected growth heightened expectations of an interest rate
increase by the Federal Reserve. Unease over higher interest rates,
profitability concerns in the technology sector and litigation concerns for
tobacco stocks pulled the stock market lower in mid-March. As expected, the
Federal Reserve increased the rate on short-term funds by 0.25 percent at its
late-March meeting. Following the rate increase, the sell-off in the stock
market became more severe amid further signs of an accelerating economy. Stocks
bottomed-out on news of a stronger than expected rise in core producer prices
for March, with the DJIA closing at 6391.69 on April 11, 1997, or 9.8 percent
below the all-time high recorded a month ago.

         Some favorable first quarter earnings reports and news of a possible
settlement by tobacco companies to resolve the threat of liability lawsuits
provided for a modest recovery in the stock market in mid-April 1997. In
late-April, the release of economic data which indicated mild inflationary
pressures furthered the rally in bond and stock prices. News of a budget
agreement and a favorable ruling for tobacco companies sent the stock market
soaring to record highs in early-May. Mixed economic data and the Federal
Reserve's decision to leave its target for the federal funds rate unchanged at
its May meeting sustained a positive trend in the stock market through the end
of May. Profit worries caused a sell-off in technology stocks in early-June,
while declining interest rates served to stabilize the broader market.
Technology stocks rallied the stock market to new highs in mid-July, as a number
of technology companies posted favorable second quarter earnings. Favorable
inflation data, including second quarter GDP growth slowing to an annual rate of
2.2 percent, versus 4.9 percent in the first quarter, and

Page 4.9


comments by the Federal Reserve Chairman which indicated that an increase in
interest rates was not imminent, spurred bond and stock prices strongly higher
during the second half of July.

         A decline in the July 1997 unemployment rate reversed the positive bond
and stock market trends in early-August, as inflation concerns became more
prominent. A declining dollar against the yen and mark sharpened the decline in
bond prices, with the 30-year U.S. Treasury bond yield increasing from 6.32
percent at the end of July to 6.66 percent as of August 8, 1997. The sell-off in
bonds pulled stock prices lower as well. While bond prices firmed in mid-August,
notable volatility was evident in the stock market. The DJIA moved at least 100
points for five consecutive days from August 18, 1997 through August 21, 1997,
which set a record for volatility. Profit worries among some of the large blue
chip companies and mixed inflation readings were factors contributing to the
roller-coaster performance of the stock market. Despite strengthening bond
prices, stocks traded lower through the end of August. Bond prices moved higher
on inflation data which showed that prices stayed low during the second quarter,
even though second quarter GDP growth was revised upward to an annual rate of
3.6 percent compared to an original estimate of 2.2 percent.

         Volatility returned to the stock market in early-September, with the
DJIA posting a record breaking point increase of 257.36 on September 2, 1997.
The rally was sparked by economic data that indicated manufacturing growth
slowed in August, thereby easing investors' inflation worries. However, the
rally was not sustained, as the DJIA pulled back following the one day rally.
The pull back was largely attributed to profit worries, which more than offset
favorable inflation news indicated by a slight increase in the national
unemployment rate for August (4.9 percent in August versus 4.8 percent in July).
Stocks fluctuated in a narrow trading range in mid-September, in anticipation of
third quarter earnings and August economic data. The low inflation reading
indicated by the August consumer price index sent stock and bond prices sharply
higher on September 16, 1997, with the DJIA posting a 175 point increase and the
yield on the 30-year U.S. Treasury bond posting its second largest decline in
the 1990s. Uncertainty over third quarter earnings provided for a mixed stock
market performance towards the end of September, while generally favorable
inflation readings pushed interest rates to their lowest level in two years. The
release of September employment data on October 3, 1997 caused bond and stock
prices to soar in early trading activity, as the September unemployment rate was





RP Financial, LC.
Page 4.10


unchanged at 4.9 percent and fewer jobs than expected were added to the economy
during September. However, most of the initial gains were erased by news of
rising tensions between Iraq and Iran.

         Congressional testimony by the Federal Reserve Chairman, in which he
indicated that it would be difficult to maintain the current balance between
tight labor markets and low inflation, caused stock and bond prices to skid in
mid-October 1997. Disappointing third quarter earnings in the technology sector
sharpened the sell-off in the stock market, with the Dow Jones Industrial
Average ("DJIA") posting consecutive losses of more than 1.0 percent on October
16 and 17. Stocks bounced back in early-week trading the following week,
reflecting positive third quarter earnings surprises posted by some of the blue
chip stocks. However, the recovery was abbreviated by global selling pressure,
which was led by the decline in the Hong Kong stock market, as the DJIA posted a
two-day loss approximating 320 points on October 23 and 24, 1997. The sell-off
in the world financial markets turned into a rout on the following Monday, with
a 5.8 percent decline in the Hong Kong stock market fueling the largest ever
point decline in the DJIA. On October 24, the DJIA declined 554 points or 7.2
percent. While the selling was broad based, technology stocks sensitive to Asian
demand experienced some of the sharpest declines. The turmoil in the stock
market provided for a sharp rally in U.S. Treasury bonds, reflecting a flight to
quality by skittish investors. The stock market recovered strongly the day after
the record breaking point decline, as the DJIA surged a record breaking 337
points on October 28. Comparatively, bond prices declined sharply on October 28,
as investors pulled out of the Treasury market to reinvest into the stock
market.

         Market conditions remained uneven through the week ended October 31,
1997, which was followed by a soaring stock market on November 3, 1997. The DJIA
posted a 232 point increase on November 3, which was supported by a resurgence
in the Hong Kong market. Following the one day rally, volatility returned to the
stock market through mid-November. The market's uneven performance was largely
attributable to the ongoing influence of the international markets, particularly
the Asian and Latin American markets. In mid-November, the yield on the 30-year
bellwether Treasury issue approached 6.0 percent, its lowest level since
February 1996. Advances in the bond market provided for a generally positive
stock market environment in the second half of November, with bank and
technology issues being among the 




RP Financial, LC.
Page 4.11


strongest performers. Renewed confidence that the Asian governments would
control the region's financial problems furthered the stock market rally in
early-December. Despite a sell-off in the bond market caused by the November
unemployment rate dropping to its lowest level since October 1973, the DJIA
showed surprising strength and closed almost 99 points higher on December 5,
1997. Stocks declined the following week, as earnings concerns, particularly in
the technology sector, overshadowed a rally in the bond market. Positive
inflation news and world market turmoil caused investors to dump stocks in favor
of bonds, which served to push the yield on the bellwether 30-year Treasury bond
below 6.0 percent in mid-December. Bond prices were also boosted by the Federal
Reserve's decision to leave interest rates unchanged at its mid-December
meeting, which also provided for a modest recovery in the stock market. In
late-December, investors dumped stocks on earnings concerns, while a flight to
quality pushed bond prices higher. The stock market surged higher at year end,
as worries about South Korea's financial crisis eased.

         Led by a rally in the bond market, stocks continued to move higher at
the beginning of 1998. However, turmoil in the Asian markets and the uncertain
outlook for fourth quarter earnings provided for an uneven stock market through
most of January and into early-February. For example, the Dow Jones Industrial
Average ("DJIA") plunged 222 points on January 9, 1998, due to fourth quarter
profit worries and economic turmoil in Southeast Asia. Comparatively, a rally in
the Asian markets propelled the DJIA 201 points higher on February 2, 1998. In
general, a rebound in the Asian markets and favorable fourth quarter earnings
served to the push the stock market higher during the second half of January and
into early-February. In contrast, bond prices edged lower over the same time
period, as the labor market remained tight as indicated by a sharp increase in
labor costs during the fourth quarter of 1997 and a larger than expected
increase in the number of jobs added during December 1997.

         Strength primarily in technology stocks pushed the DJIA to a new record
for the first time in six months on February 10, 1998. The rally was sustained
through mid-February, as the DJIA established six consecutive new highs through
February 18, 1998. Strong earnings and expectations that profitability was not
as badly hurt by the Asian crisis as feared served as the basis for the rally in
technology stocks. Stable interest rates and few signs of inflation preserved
the positive market environment through the middle of March. Strong first
quarter earnings 




RP Financial, LC.
Page 4.12


results propelled the market to record highs during April, followed by some
profit taking in early May. On May 8, 1998, the DJIA closed at 9055.15, an
increase of 26.3 percent from one year ago.

                  Similar to the overall stock market, the market for thrift
stocks has generally been favorable during the past twelve months. Stable
interest rates and acquisition activity supported higher thrift prices in
early-March 1997; however, like the stock market in general, the peak in thrift
prices was followed by a sharp sell-off in mid-March. In fact, interest rate
sensitive issues were among the sectors hardest hit by the revised January
retail sales report, as the 30-year bond approached 7.0 percent. Interest rate
sensitive issues continued to experience selling pressure in late-March and
early-April, as signs of a strengthening economy pushed interest rates higher.
The sell-off in thrift stocks culminated on April 11, 1997, as interest rates
increased sharply on news of the higher than expected rise in core producer
prices for March. Thrift prices edged modestly higher in mid-April, reflecting
generally favorable first quarter earnings and a slight decline in interest
rates following the release of economic data which showed that inflation was
low. Favorable inflation data and the budget agreement provided for a more
substantial rally in thrift stocks in late-April and early-May, as interest rate
sensitive issues were bolstered by declining interest rates.

         Thrift stocks continued to trend higher through June and early-July
1997, based on the improved interest rate outlook and an overall positive
outlook for the economy. Generally favorable second quarter earnings and the
30-year U.S. Treasury bond yield declining below 6.50 percent served to further
boost thrift prices in mid-July, with the declining interest rate environment
serving to sustain the rally in thrift prices through the end of July. Thrift
prices generally declined during the first half of August, due to higher
interest rates and profit taking. From July 31, 1997 to August 15, 1997, the SNL
Index declined by 3.7 percent. Thrift prices recovered modestly during the
second half of August, as the Federal Reserve left short-term interest rates
unchanged at its August meeting. Thrift stocks participated in the one day stock
market rally on September 2, 1997, as evidenced by a 1.95 percent increase in
the SNL Index. News of NationsBank's proposed acquisition of Barnett Banks for
more than four times its book value appears to have further contributed to the
one day run-up in thrift prices. In contrast to the overall stock market, thrift
prices continued to move higher following the one day rally in the 




RP Financial, LC.
Page 4.13


DJIA. Stable interest rates and acquisition news sustained the positive market
for thrift issues. The decline in interest rates following the release of the
August consumer price index in mid-September served to further the rally in
thrift prices. During late-September and early-October, interest rate sensitive
issues in general benefited from the declining interest rate environment and
expectations of strong third quarter earnings.

         The upward trend in thrift prices stalled in mid-October 1997, as
interest rates moved higher following warnings by the Federal Reserve Chairman
of inflation creeping back into the economy due to the tight labor markets.
Thrift stocks gyrated in conjunction with the overall market in late-October,
with the SNL index declining by 5.2 percent on October 27 and increasing by 2.4
percent on October 28. Aided by the favorable interest rate climate, thrift
stocks posted further gains in early-November and then retreated modestly in
mid-November. Thrift and bank issues declined on concerns that a slowing U.S.
economy could lead to weaker loan demand and higher delinquency rates. However,
led by the strengthening bond market, thrift and bank issues moved higher during
late-November and early-December. Acquisition news also contributed to the
upturn in bank and thrift prices, as two major bank acquisitions were announced
for relatively high price-to-book multiples. First Union Corp.'s proposed
acquisition of CoreStates Financial ($47 billion in assets) was for 539 percent
of book value, while First American Corporation's proposed acquisition for
Deposit Guaranty Corporation ($6.8 billion in assets) was for 419 percent of
book value. Those deals, along with speculation of possible other major thrift
and bank acquisitions, filtered into the prices of bank and thrift issues in
general. Concern of relatively high valuations somewhat offset the declining
interest rate environment, as thrift issues traded in a narrow range in
mid-December. Thrift prices moved higher at the close of 1997, as interest rates
continued to decline.

         The positive trend in thrift prices was not sustained at the beginning
of 1998, as thrift prices moved sharply lower during early-January trading. From
January 2, 1998 to January 9, 1998, the SNL index for all publicly-traded
thrifts declined from 810.5 to 720.2, or 11.1 percent. The sell-off in thrift
stocks was prompted by concerns that the flattening yield curve would put
pressure on earnings, particularly among institutions which maintained high
concentrations of mortgage loans. Thrift prices recovered somewhat during the
second half of January, with the upward trend becoming more pronounced in
early-February. 




RP Financial, LC.
Page 4.14


Fourth quarter earnings, which generally met expectations, and acquisition news
led the recovery in thrift prices. The ongoing trend of consolidation was
highlighted by the proposed merger between First Nationwide Holdings, San
Francisco, California ($30.9 billion in assets) and Golden State Bancorp,
Glendale, California ($16.0 billion in assets), which was announced in
early-February. Stable interest rates and acquisitions provided for a
continuation of the rally through the end of the first quarter while two
blockbuster bank mergers including the NationsBank merger with Bank of America
and the NBD Bancorp merger with First Chicago. On May 8, 1998, the SNL Index for
all publicly-traded thrifts closed at 875.0, an increase of 57.6 percent from
one year ago.

     B.   The New Issue Market
          --------------------

         In addition to thrift stock market conditions in general, the new issue
market for converting thrifts is also an important consideration in determining
pro forma market value. In general, the market environment for converting thrift
issues was highly receptive throughout 1997, with most converting issues being
oversubscribed and trading higher in initial trading. To date, the positive
market environment for converting thrift issues has been sustained during 1998.
Since early February 1998, standard conversion offerings completed and began
trading have exhibited an average price increase of 47.3 percent on the first
day of trading. As shown in Table 4.1, the average one week change in price for
standard conversion offerings completed during the latest three month period
ending May 8, 1998 equaled positive 58.2 percent. The average pro forma
price/tangible book and core price/earnings ratios of the recent conversions,
excluding second step conversions, was 77.6 percent and 19.8 times,
respectively. The standard conversions that have began trading since the
beginning of February 1998 have all closed at the top of the superrange.

         In examining the current pricing characteristics of institutions
completing their conversions during the last three months (see Table 4.2), we
note there exists a considerable difference in pricing ratios compared to the
universe of all publicly-traded thrifts. Specifically, the current median P/B
ratio of the conversions completed in the most recent three month period of
125.4 percent reflects a discount of 27.43 percent from the average P/B ratio of
all publicly-traded thrifts (equal to 172.79 percent), and the average core P/E
ratio of 25.23 times reflects a premium of 18.01 percent from the all public
average core P/E ratio of 21.38 times. The pricing

ratios of the better capitalized but lower earning recently converted thrifts
(with resulting lower return on equity measures) suggest that the investment
community has determined to discount their stocks on a book basis until the
earnings improve through redeployment and leveraging of the proceeds over the
longer term.

     C.   The Acquisition Market
          ----------------------

     Also considered in the valuation was the potential impact on Seacoast's
stock price of recently completed and pending acquisitions of other regional
thrifts. As shown in Exhibit IV-4, there were nine thrifts acquired since 1997
in the Massachusetts market and three acquisitions are currently pending of
Massachusetts thrifts. Seacoast's larger size and relatively high pro forma
capital position may tend to lessen such acquisition speculation, based on
expectations that an acquiror would be reluctant to pay an acquisition premium
for the "excess" capital. At the same time, the fairly active acquisition market
for Massachusetts market may imply a certain degree of acquisition speculation
for Seacoast's stock. To the extent that acquisition speculation may impact the
conversion offering, we have largely taken this into account in selecting
companies which operate in the same market.

     Taking these factors and trends into account, primarily recent trends in
the new issue market, market conditions overall and recent trends in the
acquisition market, no adjustment was made for marketing of the issue.

     8.   Management
          ----------

     Seacoast/Compass executive management appears to have experience and
expertise in the key areas of operations to operate the merged bank as a public
company and there are no apparent vacancies in this regard. At the same time,
the ability to effectively integrate such a large merger and manage the acquired
operations and markets of Sandwich Bancorp can only be proven over time. (See
Exhibit IV-5 for summary resumes of the Board of Directors and executive
management.) The location in New England and the compensation and benefits
available through the stock structure should facilitate Seacoast's/Compass'
ability to attract qualified candidates if such a need should arise. The
financial characteristics and growth of Seacoast/Compass suggest that Compass is
being effectively managed and there appears to be a well-defined organizational
structure.




RP Financial, LC.
Page 4.17


         The returns, capital positions, and other operating measures of the
Peer Group companies are indicative of well-managed financial institutions,
which also have generally seasoned Boards and management teams.

         On balance, we concluded that no valuation adjustment relative to the
Peer Group was appropriate for this factor.

9.   Effect of Government Regulation and Regulatory Reform
     -----------------------------------------------------

         Currently, there are no significant differences between
Seacoast/Compass and the Peer Group from a regulatory perspective. The majority
of the Peer Group members essentially operate under a similar regulatory scheme
as Compass (i.e., insured financial institution operating under a holding
company structure). On balance, no adjustment to Compass' value was warranted
for this factor.


Summary of Adjustments
- ----------------------

         Overall, we believe Seacoast's pro forma market value should be
discounted relative to the Peer Group as follows.




     Key Valuation Parameters                                  Valuation Adjustment
     ------------------------                                  --------------------

     Profitability, Growth and Viability of Earnings           Slight Downward
     Asset Growth                                              No Adjustment

     Marketing of the Issue                                    No Adjustment
     Management                                                No Adjustment
     Effect of Government Regulations and Regulatory Reform    No Adjustment



Valuation Approaches
- --------------------

         In applying the accepted valuation methodology promulgated by the
regulatory agencies, i.e., the pro forma market value approach, we considered
the three key pricing ratios in valuing Seacoast's to-be-issued stock
- --price/earnings ("P/E"), price/book ("P/B"), and price/assets ("P/A") -- all
performed on a pro forma basis including the effects of the conversion proceeds






RP Financial, LC.
Page 4.18


and the acquisition of Sandwich Bancorp. In computing the pro forma impact of
the conversion and merger and the related pricing ratios, we have incorporated
the valuation parameters disclosed in Seacoast's prospectus for offering
expenses, pro forma impact of the merger based on the potential range of
exchange ratios, merger-related costs, reinvestment rate, the effective tax rate
and the leveraged ESOP (see Exhibits IV-6 and IV-7). Each of these parameters
are described more fully below.

     o    Conversion Expenses. Management has estimated fixed and variable
          conversion expenses over the range of value incorporating the
          appraised value determined herein, based on the financial arrangements
          with the various third parties engaged to assist in completing the
          conversion transaction.

     o    Exchange Shares. The Sandwich merger will occur within 10 days
          following the conversion, i.e., once Seacoast's stock has begun to
          trade. The Merger Agreement sets forth certain changes in the merger
          exchange ratio depending upon the trading price of Seacoast's stock,
          as set forth below:



                                                                        Per Sandwich Bancorp
     Seacoast Trading Price            Exchange Ratio                        Share Value
     ----------------------            --------------                        -----------
                                                                   
          $15.01 or more              Less than 4.7407                          $71.11
                                ($71.11/Seacoast Trading Price)

          $13.51 - $15.00                  4.7407                           $64.05 - $71.11
                                                                     (4.7407 x Seacoast Trading Price)

          $10.01 - $13.50              6.3936 - 4.7407                          $64.00
                                ($64.00/Seacoast Trading Price)
          
          $10.00 or less                   6.4000                                $64.00 or less
                                                                     (6.4000 x Seacoast Trading Price)



          We have considered the exchange ratio formula and related collars in
          estimating pro forma market value, as the trading price of Seacoast at
          the time the exchange ratio will be determined will not be known at
          the time the conversion will be consummated. In preparing the pro
          forma valuation analyses incorporated herein, we have reflected two
          key points of the exchange ratio formula, as established in the Merger
          Agreement, which encompasses a range of potential exchange ratios. In
          this regard, RP Financial has evaluated the pro forma impact of the
          transaction assuming an Exchange Ratio of 6.4000 Seacoast shares
          (exchange ratio if the Seacoast Trading Price is $10.00 or lower) for
          each Sandwich Bancorp share and 4.7407 Seacoast shares (exchange ratio
          if the Seacoast Trading Price is between $13.50 to $15.00 per share).
          The number of Exchange Shares issuable in exchange for each
          outstanding Sandwich Bancorp stock option will be determined by
          subtracting the per share exercise price of such option from the value
          of Exchange Shares receivable by Sandwich Bancorp stockholders in




RP Financial, LC.
Page 4.19


          exchange for each outstanding share of Sandwich Bancorp common stock,
          and dividing the result by the Seacoast Trading Price.

     o    Merger-Related Costs. Management has estimated the merger-related for
          both itself and Sandwich Bancorp in such areas as merger advisory and
          legal fees and expenses related to the change of control provisions in
          Sandwich Bancorp's management contracts. Certain of these costs will
          be expensed just prior to closing the merger and thus will be
          reflected on an after-tax basis. Consistent with the prospectus, the
          after-tax merger costs have been estimated to total $4.0 million.

     o    Effective Tax Rate. Compass, in consultation with its outside
          auditors, has determined the marginal effective tax rate on the net
          reinvestment benefit of the conversion proceeds to be 40 percent based
          on the statutory Federal, and state income tax rates.

     o    Reinvestment Rate. The pro forma section in the prospectus
          incorporates a 5.37 percent reinvestment rate, equivalent to yield on
          the one-year Treasury bill as of November 1, 1997, the rate utilized
          herein. As of February 28, 1998, the one-year Treasury bill yield was
          roughly the same at 5.40 percent. The one-year U.S. Treasury rate more
          closely approximates the estimated reinvestment yield based on the
          anticipated use of proceeds than the 6.12 percent arithmetic average
          of the yield on interest-earning assets and cost of deposits over the
          most recent fiscal year.

     o    Stock Benefit Plans. The Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP")
          structure and funding reflects the decisions made by the Board, as set
          forth in the prospectus. Specifically, the ESOP is assumed to purchase
          8 percent of the stock in conversion at the initial public offering
          price, funded by a third party loan bearing an interest rate equal to
          the Prime Rate with a term of up to 20 years. While a stock grant
          program may be implemented in the future, no decisions have been made
          to date regarding amount and timing, and any such plan would require
          shareholder approval. Accordingly, the pro forma impact of such a
          stock grant program was not incorporated into the valuation.

     o    Sandwich Bancorp Stock Currently Owned by Compass. The value of the
          approximately 90,000 shares of Sandwich Bancorp common stock ($5.175
          million as of February 28, 1998) held by Seacoast is eliminated as a
          result of the merger transaction pursuant to GAAP accounting. A
          $74,000 positive after-tax adjustment to pro forma equity is also
          incorporated into the pro forma calculations as a result of the
          expected reclassification of a portion of Sandwich Bancorp's
          investment portfolio from "held to maturity" to "available for sale".


     RP Financial's valuation considered each of the valuation approaches
promulgated in the regulatory valuation guidelines, as described more fully
below.

     o    P/E Approach. The P/E approach is generally regarded as the best
          indicator of long-term value for a stock. Given the earnings
          composition and level of core profitability of Compass and the Peer
          Group, the P/E approach was carefully considered in this 




RP Financial, LC.
Page 4.20


          valuation. We considered both reported and estimated core earnings for
          the most recent 12 months and the resulting price/earnings ratios.

     o    P/B Approach. P/B ratios have generally served as a useful benchmark
          in the valuation of thrift stocks. Recognizing that the pro forma P/B
          ratio will result in a below market ratio due to the pro forma nature
          of the P/B computation, RP Financial considered the P/B approach to be
          a reliable indicator in the context of pro forma value taking into
          account the pricing ratios under the P/E and P/A approaches. We have
          also examined the P/B approach to exclude the impact of intangible
          assets (i.e., price/tangible book value or "P/TB"), in that the
          investment community frequently makes this adjustment in its
          evaluation of the stock price level.

     o    P/A Approach. Investors typically do not place significant weight on
          simply the size of total assets as a determinant of market value
          without making risk adjustments. Investors generally place greater
          weight on book value and earnings for established publicly-traded
          institutions. At the same time, the P/A ratio is an indicator of
          franchise value, and, in the case of highly capitalized institutions,
          high P/A ratios may limit the investment community's willingness to
          pay market multiples for earnings or book value when ROE is expected
          to be low. This approach, as set forth in the regulatory valuation
          guidelines, does not take into account the amount of stock purchases
          funded by deposit withdrawals, thus understating the pro forma P/A
          ratio.


         Based on the application of the three valuation approaches, taking into
consideration the valuation adjustments discussed above, and placing the
greatest weight on the earnings and book approaches, RP Financial concluded that
the pro forma offering value of Seacoast's conversion stock is $290 million at
the midpoint at this time, taking into account the potential range of exchange
ratios in the subsequent acquisition of Sandwich Bancorp. The conversion
offering shares will be issued at a $10.00 per share price. Assuming a 6.4000
times exchange ratio for the Sandwich Bancorp stock, the total pro forma market
value of all shares is equal to $415.4 million based on a $10.00 per share
Seacoast trading price. Assuming a 4.7407 exchange ratio, the pro forma market
value of all Seacoast shares is equal to $383.1 million, reflecting a Seacoast
trading price of $15.00.

         1. Price-to-Book ("P/B"). The application of the P/B valuation method
requires calculating Seacoast's pro forma market value by applying a valuation
P/B ratio, derived from the Peer Group's P/B ratio, to Seacoast's pro forma book
value taking into account the acquisition of Sandwich Bancorp in a pooling
merger. In applying the P/B approach, we focused on tangible book value. Based
on the $290 million offering amount and assuming a 6.4000 times

exchange ratio, Seacoast's pro forma P/TB ratio was 104.89 percent. In
comparison to the median P/TB ratio for the Peer Group of 206.72 percent,
Seacoast's P/TB ratio was discounted by 49.3 percent. Based on the midpoint
offering amount and a 4.7407 exchange ratio, the P/TB ratio equaled 96.73
percent. RP Financial considered such discounts to be reasonable in light of the
previously referenced valuation adjustments, the nature of the calculation of
the pro forma P/TB ratio which mathematically results in a ratio discounted to
book value, comparatively lower pro forma core ROE and the resulting pricing
ratios under the earnings and assets approaches.

         2. Price-to-Earnings ("P/E"). The application of the P/E valuation
method requires calculating Seacoast's pro forma market value by applying a
valuation P/E multiple, derived from the Peer Group's P/E multiple, times the
pro forma earnings base. In applying this technique, we considered both reported
earnings and a recurring earnings base, that is, earnings adjusted to exclude
any one-time non-operating and extraordinary items, plus the estimated after-tax
earnings benefit from reinvestment of net conversion proceeds. Compass' reported
earnings (incorporating Sandwich Bancorp) were $17.467 million for the twelve
months ended February 28, 1998. In deriving core earnings, the adjustments made
to reported pre-tax earnings were the gains on the sale of investments and
loans, which, on a tax effected basis, indicated adjusted earnings of
approximately $16.975 million. Similar types of adjustments were applied to the
Peer Group in the calculation of their core earnings (Note: see Exhibit IV-8).

         Based on Compass' reported and estimated core earnings, and
incorporating the impact of the pro forma assumptions discussed previously,
Seacoast's pro forma reported and core P/E multiples incorporating a $290
million offering amount and a 6.4000 times exchange ratio were 16.85 and 17.19
times, respectively. Relative to the Peer Group average, the P/E was comparable
and the P/Core was discounted by 3.5 percent. Incorporating a 4.7407 exchange
ratio for Sandwich, Seacoast's pro forma P/E and P/Core multiples are discounted
by 7.9 percent and 11.2 percent, respectively. Such adjustments reflect the
valuation adjustments outlined previously and the other pricing ratios. We also
considered the potential long-term benefits of the merger with Sandwich Bancorp.
RP Financial also considered the impact of SOP 93-6 in examining the P/E ratios.

         3. Price-to-Assets ("P/A"). The P/A valuation methodology determines
market value by applying a valuation P/A ratio to Compass' pro forma asset base,
conservatively assuming no deposit withdrawals are made to fund stock purchases.
In all likelihood there will be deposit withdrawals, which results in
understating the pro forma P/A ratio which is computed herein. At the midpoint
of the offering range and assuming a 6.4000 exchange ratio, Seacoast's value
equaled 21.60 percent of pro forma assets, compared to the Peer Group average
P/A ratio of 16.44 percent, which implies a 31.4 percent premium being applied
to Seacoast's pro forma P/A ratio. While generally emphasized less than the P/E
and P/B approaches, the P/A ratio is an indicator of franchise value and, thus,
was considered in the valuation conclusion.


Comparison to Recent Conversions
- --------------------------------

         As indicated at the beginning of this chapter, RP Financial's analysis
of recent conversion pricing characteristics at conversion (excluding second
step conversions) and in the aftermarket has been limited to a "technical"
analysis and, thus, the pricing characteristics of recent conversions is not the
primary determinate of value herein. Particular focus was placed on the P/B
approach in this analysis since the P/E multiples do not reflect the actual
impact of reinvestment and the source of the conversion funds (i.e., external
funds vs. deposit withdrawals). The recent conversions (excluding second step
conversions) on average closed their offerings at their supermaximum levels
given the oversubscribed nature of their offerings and prevailing market
conditions at closing, indicating a median price/tangible book ratio of 79.0
percent. On average, the prices of recent conversions appreciated by 58.2
percent during the first week of trading. In comparison, Seacoast's P/TB ratio
at the appraised midpoint reflects a premium relative to the closing ratios
(generally at their supermaximums), but a discount to the aftermarket ratios.
The closing and aftermarket P/TB ratios are not directly comparable in that the
closing ratio reflects the pro forma impact of conversion on equity whereas the
aftermarket ratio reflects only price (with no further impact on equity
capital).


Valuation Conclusion
- --------------------

         It is our opinion that, as of May 8, 1998, the pro forma offering value
of Seacoast's conversion is $290 million, taking into account the potential
range of exchange ratios in the

subsequent acquisition of Sandwich Bancorp as set forth in the Merger Agreement.
Accordingly, the conversion offering range of value, based on a $10.00 per share
value, is as follows: 




                                                                   Price/

- ------------------------

(1)  The data presented at and for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and
     1997 were derived from unaudited consolidated financial statements and
     reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of
     normal recurring adjustments) which are necessary to present fairly the
     results for such interim periods. Interim results at and for the three
     months ended March 31, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results
     that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 1998.

(2)  Asset Quality Ratios and Regulatory Capital Ratios are end-of-period
     ratios. With the exception of end-of-period ratios, all ratios are based on
     average daily balances during the periods indicated and are annualized
     where appropriate.

(3)  The net interest rate spread represents the difference between the weighted
     average yield on average interest-earning assets and the weighted average
     cost of average interest-bearing liabilities.

(4)  The net interest margin represents net interest income as a percentage of
     average interest-earning assets.

(5)  The efficiency ratio represents the ratio of non-interest expenses to the
     sum of net interest income and non-interest income.

(6)  For definitions and further information relating to Sandwich Bancorp's and
     Sandwich Bank's regulatory capital requirements, see "Regulation of
     Seacoast Financial and Subsidiary -- Regulatory Capital Requirements" and
     "-- Prompt Corrective Action."

(7)  Non-performing loans consist of all loans 90 days or more past due and 
     other loans which have been identified by Sandwich Bank as presenting 
     uncertainty with respect to the collectibility of interest or principal.
     It is Sandwich Bank's policy to cease accruing interest on all such loans.

Members of the Boards:


      We have completed and hereby provide an updated independent appraisal of
the estimated pro forma market value of the Common Stock in connection with the
mutual-to-stock conversion transaction described below.

      This Appraisal has been prepared in accordance with the "Guidelines for
Appraisal Reports for the Valuation of Savings and Loan Associations Converting
from Mutual to Stock Form of Organization" of the Office of Thrift Supervision
("OTS"), including the most recent revisions as of October 21, 1994, and
applicable interpretations thereof. Such Valuation Guidelines are relied upon by
the Massachusetts Division of Banks (the "Division"), the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") and the Federal Reserve Board ("FRB") in
evaluating conversion appraisals in the absence of such specific written
valuation guidelines separately issued by the respective agencies.

      Our original appraisal report, dated May 8, 1998 (the "Original
Appraisal"), is incorporated herein by reference. As in the preparation of our
Original Appraisal, we believe the data and information used herein is reliable;
however, we cannot guarantee the accuracy and completeness of such information.


Description of Reorganization
- -----------------------------

      We understand that the Board of Trustees of The 1855 Bancorp, a
Massachusetts-chartered mutual holding company (the "MHC"), and the Board of
Directors of Compass Bank for Savings ("Compass" or the "Bank"), a wholly-owned
state-chartered stock savings bank subsidiary of the MHC, have adopted a Plan of
Conversion, incorporated herein by reference, in which the MHC will be combined
with the Bank simultaneously with the MHC's conversion to stock form and
reorganization as a subsidiary of a newly-formed stock corporation, to be known
as "Seacoast Financial Services Corporation" ("Seacoast" or the "Company").
Seacoast will offer shares of Common Stock ("Conversion Shares") for sale in the
Subscription Offering, the concurrent Community Offering and, if necessary, in a
Syndicated Community Offering, based on the appraised value. The Conversion
Shares are first being offered in the Subscription Offering with nontransferable
subscription rights being granted to Eligible Account Holders, Supplemental
Eligible Account Holders, the ESOP, Employees, Officers, Trustees and Directors.

Acquisition of Sandwich Bancorp, Inc.

      Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Affiliation and Merger Agreement (the
"Agreement"), dated March 22, 1998, The 1855 Bancorp agreed to acquire Sandwich
Bancorp, Inc., Sandwich, Massachusetts ("Sandwich Bancorp"), the bank holding
company for Sandwich Co-operative Bank, a Massachusetts-chartered co-operative
bank ("Sandwich"). Sandwich Bancorp is a Massachusetts corporation that was
organized in June 1997 to acquire all the capital stock of Sandwich upon
consummation of the reorganization of Sandwich into holding company form.
Sandwich Bancorp is a publicly-traded company whose stock is listed on the
NASDAQ National Market System under the ticker symbol "SWCB". Pursuant to the
Agreement, at the effective time of the merger, each share of common stock of
Sandwich Bancorp issued and outstanding, shall by virtue of the merger be
converted into the right to receive Seacoast common stock. The number of shares
of Seacoast common stock a Sandwich Bancorp stockholder will receive will be
determined by the application of an exchange ratio (the "Exchange Ratio") based
upon the trading price of Seacoast's common stock (the "Seacoast Trading Price")
10 days following the closing of the conversion. If the Seacoast Trading Price
is between $10.00 and $13.50, the Exchange Ratio will be between 6.4000 and
4.7407 (determined by dividing $64.00 by the Seacoast Trading Price). If the
Seacoast Trading Price is between $13.51 and $15.00, the Exchange Ratio will be
fixed at 4.7407. If the Seacoast Trading Price exceeds $15.00, the Exchange
Ratio will be less than 4.7407 (determined by dividing $71.11 by the Seacoast
Trading Price). If the Seacoast Trading Price is equal to or less than $10.00
per share, the Exchange Ratio will be 6.4000. The number of Exchange Shares
issuable in exchange for each outstanding Sandwich Bancorp stock option will be
determined by subtracting the per share exercise price of such option from the
value of the Exchange Shares receivable by Sandwich Bancorp stockholders in
exchange for each outstanding share of Sandwich Bancorp common stock, and
dividing the result by the Seacoast Trading Price. As of June 30, 1998, Sandwich
Bancorp had 2,043,475 shares of common stock issued and outstanding and 45,203
granted stock options outstanding, all of which become fully vested upon a
change of control. Cash will be paid in lieu of fractional shares.

      It is anticipated that the merger will be accounted for as a pooling of
interests and that certain financial adjustments will be made concurrent with
the merger. The transaction is expected to constitute a tax-free reorganization
under the Internal Revenue Code, so that Sandwich Bancorp shareholders who
receive Seacoast's common stock will not recognize gain or loss in connection
with the exchange.


Limiting Factors and Considerations
- -----------------------------------

      Our valuation is not intended, and must not be construed, as a
recommendation of any kind as to the advisability of purchasing shares of the
Common Stock. Moreover, because such valuation is necessarily based upon
estimates and projections of a number of matters, all of which are subject to
change time to time, no assurance can be given that persons who purchase shares
of common stock in the Conversion will thereafter be able to buy or sell such
shares at prices related to the foregoing valuation of the estimated pro forma
market value thereof.

      RP Financial's updated valuation was determined based on the financial
condition and operations of the Bank and Sandwich as of May 31, 1998 and June
30, 1998, respectively, the date of the most recent financial data included in
the Company's Prospectus.

      RP Financial is not a seller of securities within the meaning of any
federal and state securities laws and any report prepared by RP Financial shall
not be used as an offer or solicitation with respect to the purchase or sale of
any securities. RP Financial maintains a policy which prohibits RP Financial,
its principals or employees from purchasing stock of its client financial
institutions.

      This valuation will be updated as provided for in the conversion
regulations and guidelines. These updates will consider, among other things, any
developments or changes in the Bank's financial performance and condition,
management policies, and current conditions in the equity markets for thrift
shares. These updates may also consider changes in other external factors which
impact value including, but not limited to: various changes in the legislative
and regulatory environment for financial institutions, the stock market and the
market for thrift stocks, and interest rates. Should any such new developments
or changes be material, in our opinion, to the valuation of the shares,
appropriate adjustments to the estimated pro forma market value will be made.
The reasons for any such adjustments will be explained in the update at the date
of the release of the update.


Discussion of Relevant Considerations
- -------------------------------------


   1. Financial Results
      -----------------

         The Original Appraisal was based on financial data as of February 28,
1998 for Compass and March 31, 1998 for Sandwich. This updated appraisal is
based on financial information as of May 31, 1998 for Compass and June 30, 1998
for Sandwich reflecting the updated financial results for each company as set
forth in the amended prospectus. Corresponding to the analysis set forth in the
Original Appraisal, the following paragraphs describe the historical balance
sheet changes for Compass on a pre-acquisition basis. The pro forma balance
sheet impact of the acquisition of Sandwich (but before incorporating the
capital to be raised in the conversion and merger expenses) will be discussed at
the end of this section.

         Growth Trends
         -------------

         Compass's total assets increased by $33 million over the three months
ended May 31, 1998, largely attributable to continued expansion of the loan
portfolio which was funded by an increase in deposits. Capital increased as a
result of interim earnings, although the equity/assets ratio increased only
modestly as the rate of increase in capital was nearly matched by the growth of
total assets.

         Loan Receivable
         ---------------

         The balance of loans receivable increased from $846.4 million, as of
February 28, 1998, to $884.8 million, as of May 31, 1998, equal to 75.20 percent
of total assets. Expansion of the loan portfolio over the three months ended May
31, 1998 has been supported by growth of the indirect auto loan portfolio, which
increased by $24.1 million attributable to ongoing efforts to develop new dealer
relationships and generate additional business through existing relationships.
Other major segments of the loan portfolio also reflect growth over the quarter
ended May 31, 1998, albeit to a lesser extent than the growth realized in the
indirect loan portfolio.

         Investments and Mortgage-Backed Securities
         ------------------------------------------

         A portion of the Bank's loan growth was funded through a reduction in
the level of investments and MBS. Specifically, investments classified as
available for sale ("AFS") declined $21.8 million to equal 14.77 percent of
assets. The largest component of the investment portfolio consisted of U.S.
Government and agency obligations with a balance of $94.0 million. Corporate
debt obligations totaled $46.0 million and consisted of finance bonds,
industrial revenue bonds, utility bonds and bank and trust company bonds.
Mortgage-backed securities totaled $41.4 million as of May 31, 1998, and
consisted primarily of agency securities.

         Funding Structure
         -----------------

         Deposit balances increased by $31.1 million over the three months ended
May 31, 1998. Management attributes the increase to the relatively favorable
economic conditions prevailing in Compass' markets, the benefits of which were
partially offset by strong competition including competition from
non-traditional products such as annuities and mutual funds.

         Equity
         ------

         After-tax earnings of $3.3 million during the three months ended May
31, 1998, coupled with the impact of a $136,000 upward after-tax adjustment on
"available for sale" securities, resulted in equity growth to $106.5 million. As
a result of interim asset growth, the Bank's equity/assets ratio increased
nominally to 9.05 percent as of May 31, 1998. The Bank maintained capital
surpluses relative to all of its regulatory capital requirements and was a "well
capitalized" institution.

         Acquisition of Sandwich
         -----------------------

         The updated merged balance sheet reflects relatively limited change
from the prior quarter. The pro forma pre-conversion impact of the Sandwich
acquisition increases Compass' total assets to $1.708 billion, with the majority
of the quarterly increase attributable to Compass' asset growth. Compass'
balance sheet composition does not change significantly as the proportion of
loans, investments, deposits, and borrowed funds for Sandwich compares
relatively closely to Compass.

         Income and Expense Trends
         -------------------------

         Table 2 shows the Bank's historical income statements for twelve months
ended February 28, 1998 as well as updated information for the twelve months
ended May 31, 1998. The Bank's pro forma income statement for the twelve months
ended February 28, 1998 and May 31, 1998 giving effect to the merger has also
been provided. The following paragraphs describe the historical income
statements of Compass on a pre-merger basis. The pro forma income statement
impact of the Sandwich merger through May 31, 1998 is discussed at the end of
this section.

         Compass' earnings improved modestly based on updated financial data,
primarily as a result of growth in the net interest margin and increased loan
originations and sales which increased the gains on the sale of loans. Overall,
net income increased from $12.5 million for the twelve months ended February 28,
1998 to $13.2 million for the twelve months ended May 31, 1998. The Bank's
return on average assets ("ROA") increased slightly to 1.13 percent.

         Compass's net interest income increased modestly for the most recent
trailing 12 month period, while the ratio as a percent of average assets
decreased slightly to 3.77 percent for the twelve months ended May 31, 1998. The
increase in net interest income is primarily attributable to expansion of
interest-earning assets.

         Non-interest income decreased modestly based on updated financial data
through May 31, 1998. Specifically, non-interest income decreased by
approximately $60,000 to equal $5.7 million, or 0.51 percent of average assets.

         Compass' operating expenses increased to $25.4 million, equal to 2.27
percent of average assets, versus $25.0 million for the twelve months ended
February 28, 1998. As discussed in the Original Appraisal, operating expenses
are expected to realize further increases following the conversion as a result
of the leveraged ESOP amortization expense and the expense associated with
operating as a public company. Additionally, Compass has plans to build a new
executive office facility in downtown New Bedford at a cost of up to $18
million, which will result in significant new depreciation and property tax
expenses.

         Compass' efficiency ratio (operating expenses as a percent of the sum
of net interest income and other operating income) of approximately 54.71
percent for the most recent 12 months reflected a slight decrease from the 54.89
percent ratio reported for the twelve months ended February 28, 1998.

         Provisions for loan losses decreased marginally to $1.5 million for the
12 months ended May 31, 1998 versus $1.6 million for the twelve months ended
February 28, 1998.

         Non-operating income increased for the trailing twelve months ended May
31, 1998, as lower interest rates fueled increased loan originations, increasing
gains on the sale of loans.

         Pro Forma Impact of Sandwich Merger
         -----------------------------------

         On a pro forma basis, the acquisition of Sandwich is projected to
impact Compass's income statement in several ways. First, there are certain
non-recurring merger expenses anticipated concurrent with the merger;
specifically, such expenses are expected to include

financial advisory fees, costs related to data processing, and the expense of
the change of control provisions in the Sandwich management contracts. Overall,
total acquisition-related expenses are projected to equal $5.0 million on a
pre-tax basis ($4.0 million after-tax), most of which will be incurred at the
time of, or shortly following, the merger.

         The pro forma income statement impact of the merger is shown in Table
2. The impact of the conversion and the one-time merger costs are captured in
the pro forma adjustments set forth in the valuation analysis. On a pro forma
basis, net interest income as a percent of average assets remains similar (3.77
percent of average assets on a stand-alone basis and 3.67 percent for the merged
bank); non-interest operating income is subject to a slight decrease (from 0.51
percent of average assets to 0.49 percent for the merged Bank); and the
operating expense ratio is inflated from 2.27 percent to 2.32 percent of average
assets. On a pro forma basis (before the impact of the conversion offering), net
income, adjusted for net non-operating items, is subject to a slight decrease
from 1.13 percent to 1.06 percent of average assets. Compass estimates pre-tax
cost savings in the range of $1.5 million in the first year following the
acquisition, increasing to $1.8 million and $2.0 million in the second and third
year following the acquisition, respectively.


   2. Peer Group Financial Comparisons
      --------------------------------

         Consistent with the Peer Group financial comparison set forth in the
Original Appraisal, the comparative analysis reflects Compass incorporating the
impact of the Sandwich merger. Such data were derived from the prospectus and
the analyses set forth in the discussion of recent financial results for
Compass.

         Financial Condition
         -------------------

         In general, the comparative balance sheet ratios for the Bank and the
Peer Group did not vary significantly from the ratios exhibited in the Original
Appraisal. Relative to the Peer Group, the Bank's interest-earning asset
composition continued to reflect a higher level of loans and a lower level of
MBS and cash and investments.

         The Peer Group continues to be comparably capitalized relative to
Compass (merged basis) on both a reported and tangible capital basis, before the
conversion transaction impact. Specifically, the Bank's reported and tangible
capital ratios on a merged basis as of May 31, 1998, equaled 8.9 percent and 8.7
percent, respectively. On a post-conversion basis, the Bank's pro forma capital
is anticipated to exceed the Peer Group's average. As discussed in the Original
Appraisal, the Bank's higher pro forma capital will provide greater leverage
potential than the Peer Group, although in the intermediate term the higher
capital will lead to a pronounced disadvantage in terms of return on equity
("ROE").

         The Bank's interest-earning assets ("IEA") position (including cash and
equivalents) has reduced to 95.4 percent, which continues to fall short of the
Peer Group average of 97.1 percent. The Bank also continues to maintain a
comparable ratio of interest-bearing liabilities ("IBL"), equal to 90.1 percent
of assets as of May 31, 1998, relative to the Peer Group's ratio of 90.3
percent, reflecting the Bank's comparable capitalization. The strengthened
capital position

from conversion, the potential withdrawal of deposits to purchase conversion
stock and the reinvestment of proceeds should enhance Compass' financial
position and earnings power.

         Updated growth rates for the Bank and the Peer Group suggest little
change relative to the trends noted in the Original Appraisal (the Bank's growth
rates are annual rates for the seven months ended May 31, 1998 while the Peer
Group's growth rates are for the most recent trailing twelve month period for
which data is publicly available). In this regard, growth of assets continued to
fall short of the Peer Group asset growth, although loans and MBS increased more
rapidly with the redeployment of funds from cash and investments. Expansion of
deposits was relatively comparable for Compass in comparison to the Peer Group
average, as the Peer Group's faster growth was attributable to the greater
increase in borrowed funds.

         Income and Expense Trends
         -------------------------

         Compass' profitability (merged basis) remained above the Peer Group
average, equal to 1.11 percent of average assets for the twelve months ended May
31, 1998, while the Peer Group's earnings equaled 1.01 percent of average
assets. As described in the Original Appraisal, Compass on a merged basis
maintains a comparative advantage in terms of net interest income and other
operating income, which was only partially offset by its higher operating
expenses.

         Neither Compass nor the Peer Group's net interest margin changed
significantly incorporating updated financial data (the net interest margin
equaled 3.67 percent and 3.10 percent of assets for the Bank and Peer Group,
respectively). Compass' advantage, on a merged basis, is the result of both
higher asset yields and a more favorable cost of funds.

         The level of loan loss provisions remained relatively stable, with the
Bank reporting loan loss provisions equal to 0.13 percent of average assets,
below the Peer Group average of 0.22 percent of average assets.

         Compass continues to generate modestly higher levels of non-interest
income relative to the Peer Group, equal to 0.47 percent and 0.41 percent of
average assets, respectively. Compass continued to maintain a higher operating
expense ratio, equal to 2.27 percent of average assets versus an average of 1.98
percent for the Peer Group. As discussed in the Original Appraisal, Compass'
higher operating expense ratio is the result of several factors including: (1)
the Peer Group's greater wholesale leveraging; (2) Compass' greater revenue
diversification efforts; and (3) Compass' greater diversification into higher
risk weight loans as well as the higher asset mix in loans, which require
greater administration. Following the conversion and acquisition transactions,
there are expected to be opposing forces on Compass' operating expense ratio.
First, merger synergies are expected to lead to a reduction in operating
expenses (primarily compensation and benefits). Such cost savings are expected
to be partially offset by some consolidation expenses and increased marketing,
the cost of the Employee Stock Ownership Plan, the cost of operating as a public
company and the costs related to the construction of a new headquarters
facility.

         Taking together the components of core net income through a review of
the efficiency ratio (operating expenses divided by net interest income and
non-interest operating income) indicates a slight advantage for Compass, with an
efficiency ratio of 55.63 percent versus 57.26

percent for the Peer Group. Compass' efficiency ratio is expected to improve on
a post-conversion basis with the investment of the net conversion proceeds and
the net impact of potential merger synergies and public company/stock plan
expense.

         Non-operating income equaled 0.09 percent of average assets for the
Bank and 0.11 percent of average assets for the Peer Group.

         Compass' effective tax rate of 37.58 percent continues to compare
closely to the Peer Group's effective tax rate of 38.09 percent, reflecting the
fully taxable status of both the Bank and the Peer Group.

         Other aspects of Compass' operations in comparison to the Peer Group
remained relatively stable. Compass continues to maintain a more diversified
loan portfolio including a greater proportion of high risk-weight loans such as
C&I and consumer loans. Primarily by virtue of the higher ratio of high
risk-weight loans and greater NPAs, Compass continues to maintain greater credit
risk exposure relative to the Peer Group.

         The Bank's interest rate risk exposure in relation to the Peer Group
will be moderated with the infusion of the net conversion proceeds.


   3. Stock Market Conditions
      -----------------------

         Since the date of the Original Appraisal, the performance of the
overall stock market has been mixed, and has recently been trending downward.
Stocks traded in a narrow range in early-June 1998, while bond prices moved
higher following remarks by the Federal Reserve Chairman that indicated an
increase in interest rates was not imminent. Anxiety over Asia's financial woes
caused a 207 point one-day sell-off in the Dow Jones Industrial Average ("DJIA")
on June 15, 1998, while bond prices moved higher as investors moved funds out of
stocks and into dollar-denominated U.S. bonds. The rally in the bond market
pushed the 30-year Treasury bond yield down to 5.58 percent on June 15, 1998,
which was the lowest yield recorded since the Treasury Department began issuing
30-year fixed maturity securities in 1977. Stocks rebounded on news that the
U.S. intervened in the currency market to support the yen; however, the upturn
was cut-short by ongoing concerns about Asia's financial problems. In late-June,
money flowing into mutual funds and a rebound in technology stocks provided for
a generally positive stock market environment.

         Second quarter earnings dominated stock market activity through most of
July. In general, stocks moved higher during the first half of July on the
strength of some favorable second quarter earnings, particularly among the
financial and technology stocks. Reflecting the positive outlook for earnings
during the balance of 1998, both the DJIA and NASDAQ established new highs in
mid-July. However, the stock market rally was not sustained during the latter
part of July, as stocks declined sharply following warnings by the Federal
Reserve Chairman of relatively high trading levels for stocks in general and
disappointing second quarter earnings posted by some of the blue chip stocks.
Additionally, second quarter economic data released in the last week of July
heightened concerns regarding the future strength of corporate earnings. The
negative psychology carried forward into the first week of August as the DJIA
lost nearly 300 points on August 4 and only posted a modest advance during the
balance of the

week. On August 7, 1998, the DJIA closed at 8598.02, a decrease of 5.1 percent
since the date of Original Appraisal.

         Since the Original Appraisal date, thrift issues have in general
underperformed the overall stock market. Thrift prices drifted lower during the
first half of June, despite lower interest rates and the ongoing trend of
consolidation occurring among banks and thrifts. In late-June, the positive
trend in the overall stock market lifted thrift prices higher as well. Thrift
stocks continued to move higher during the first half of July, reflecting
generally favorable second quarter earnings and the strength of the overall
stock market. Thrift stocks followed the general stock market lower in
late-July, with the sell-off in thrift issues becoming more pronounced following
congressional testimony by the Federal Reserve Chairman that indicated inflation
was more of a concern than a recession. The sell-off continued in the first week
of August as the thrift market followed the major declines posted in the major
indexes. On August 7, 1998, the SNL Index for all publicly-traded thrifts closed
at 740.8, a decline of 15.3 percent since the date of the Original Appraisal,
and 11.4 percent over the prior ten days.

         Consistent with the SNL index, the pricing measures for all
publicly-traded thrifts and the Peer Group declined since the date of the
Original Appraisal, and all 11 Peer Group companies were trading at lower prices
as of August 7, 1998. A comparative pricing analysis of all publicly-traded
thrifts, the Peer Group and recent conversions is shown in the table below,
based on market prices as of May 8, 1998 and August 7, 1998.

         The "new issue" market is separate and distinct from the market for
seasoned issues like the Peer Group companies. Accordingly, as discussed in the
Original Appraisal, RP Financial has considered the pro forma pricing and
trading level of recently converted companies in this updated appraisal. Since
the date of the Original Appraisal, market interest for converting thrifts has
diminished. While most of the recent full stock conversions have been
oversubscribed, aftermarket interest for converting issues has been less notable
as implied by the generally lower price increases recorded by the recent
conversions in near term trading activity. The pullback in the new issue market
for converting thrifts has been particularly evident with respect to the
"second-step" conversions, which have tended to trade below their initial
offering prices. As shown in Table 5, the average one week change in price for
conversion offerings completed during the latest three months equaled positive
24.3 percent while the average one week change in price for the three
"second-step" conversions completed during the past three months equaled
negative 6.1 percent. The average pro forma price/tangible book and core
price/earnings ratios of the recent conversions equaled 97.2 percent and 23.58
times, respectively. Importantly, the Bank's conversion pricing characteristics
share some similarities with the second step offerings as a result of the
Exchange Shares issued to Sandwich Bancorp shareholders.

         One recent conversion involved a concurrent stock acquisition of a
publicly-traded thrift, similar to Compass' transaction. Specifically, CFS
Bancorp converted July 24, 1998, contemporaneously acquiring SuburbFed Bancorp,
Inc., utilizing its newly-issued stock as the transaction consideration. As of
August 7, 1998, CFS Bancorp was trading at $10.81 per share, 8.1 percent above
its $10.00 issue price per share, which equates to 99.36 percent of pro forma
book value and 27.03 times core earnings.

         Shown in Table 6 is a pricing summary of recently completed conversions
which closed in the last three months, based on their closing stock prices as of
August 7, 1998. Relative to the Original Appraisal date, which reflected pricing
ratios as of May 8, 1998, the newly converted companies are trading 22.5 percent
lower on a price-to-book basis, from an average 125.4 percent pro forma P/B
ratio at May 8, 1998 to an average 97.2 percent pro forma P/B ratio at August 7,
1998.

         As noted in the Original Appraisal, the pricing ratios of the better
capitalized but lower earning recently converted thrifts suggest that the
investment community has determined to discount their stock price on a book
basis, until the earnings improve through redeployment and leveraging of the
proceeds over the longer term.


Summary of Adjustments

      Based on the foregoing, we have changed one key valuation parameter since
the Original Appraisal, as described more fully below.

      We determined no change in the previous valuation adjustments for
financial condition and profitability were appropriate based on updated
financial information. Likewise, the valuation parameters of asset growth,
primary market area, dividends, liquidity of the shares, management and effect
of government regulation and regulatory reform were unchanged from the previous
valuation.

      The general market for thrift stocks moved lower since the date of the
Original Appraisal, as indicated by the decline in the SNL Thrift Index, and the
pricing measures for the Peer Group and for all publicly-traded thrifts. The new
issue market for thrift stocks has also weakened, as reflected by diminished
aftermarket price performance and subscription levels of new issues.
Accordingly, we believe the valuation adjustment for marketing of the issue
should be changed from no adjustment as set forth in the Original Appraisal to a
slight downward adjustment.

      Overall, taking into account the foregoing factors, particularly the
reduction in the pricing ratios of thrifts in general and the Peer Group
specifically, as well as the fallback in the pricing ratios of new issues, we
believe that a reduction in the Bank's valuation ratios are appropriate.


Valuation Approaches
- --------------------

      In applying the accepted valuation methodology promulgated by the OTS,
i.e., the pro forma market value approach, we considered the three key pricing
ratios in valuing Compass to-be-issued stock -- price/earnings ("P/E"),
price/book ("P/B"), and price/assets ("P/A") approaches -- all performed on a
pro forma basis including the effects of the conversion proceeds. In computing
the pro forma impact of the conversion and the related pricing ratios, updated
information consistent with the prospectus for the effective tax rate, offering
expenses, reinvestment rate, merger related costs, stock benefit plans, exchange
shares issued to Sandwich Bancorp shareholders, based on a range of Seacoast
trading prices, the impact of Sandwich Bancorp stock held by Compass and the
pooling of interests accounting for the merger was incorporated into the
valuation. Updated information with regard to the use of $20 million of proceeds
for a new main office facility have also been incorporated into the valuation
update. The pro assumptions are summarized in Exhibits 3 and 4.

      Consistent with the Original Appraisal, this updated appraisal continues
to be based primarily on fundamental analysis techniques applied to the Peer
Group, including the P/E approach, the P/B approach and the P/A approach. The
updated appraisal also incorporates a technical analysis of recently completed
stock conversions, including principally the P/B approach which (as discussed in
the Original Appraisal) is the most meaningful pricing ratio as the pro forma
P/E ratios reflect an assumed reinvestment rate and do not yet reflect the
actual use of proceeds.

      Based on the foregoing, we have concluded that the pro forma market value
range of Seacoast's stock is subject to a decrease. Therefore, as of August 7,
1998, RP Financial concluded that the pro forma offering value of Seacoast's
stock is $240 million at the midpoint at this time, taking into account the
potential range of exchange ratios in the subsequent acquisition of Sandwich
Bancorp. Assuming a 6.4000 times exchange ratio for the Sandwich Bancorp stock,
the total pro forma market value of all shares is equal to $366.9 million based
on a $10.00 per share Seacoast trading price. Assuming a 4.7407 exchange ratio,
the pro forma market value of all Seacoast shares is equal to $334.1 million,
reflecting a Seacoast trading price of $15.00.

         1. P/B Approach. The application of the P/B valuation method requires
calculating Seacoast's pro forma market value by applying a valuation P/B ratio,
derived from the Peer Group's P/B ratio, to Seacoast's pro forma book value
taking into account the acquisition of Sandwich Bancorp in a pooling merger. In
applying the P/B approach, we focused on tangible book value. Based on the $240
million offering amount and assuming a 6.4000 times exchange ratio, Seacoast's
pro forma P/TB ratio was 103.09 percent, which reflects a 1.7 percent reduction
from the 104.89 percent ratio set forth in the Original Appraisal. Based on the
midpoint offering amount and a 4.7407 exchange ratio, the P/TB ratio equaled
93.87 percent, which reflects a 3.0 percent reduction from the 96.73 ratio set
forth in the Original Appraisal. The P/B valuation discount has narrowed as the
Peer Group's average book pricing multiple fell to a greater extent than for
Seacoast, which we believe is appropriate in view of the relatively greater
reduction in the P/E ratio, as described below.

            In addition to the fundamental analysis applied to the Peer Group,
RP Financial utilized a technical analysis of recently completed conversions as
a proxy for anticipated aftermarket trading in Compass conversion stock. The
recent conversions currently trade at an average P/TB ratio approximating book
value, including CFS Bancorp. While Seacoast's pro forma P/TB ratio appears to
be consistent with the recent conversions trading level, Seacoast is expected to
be more leveraged on a pro forma basis.

         2. P/E Approach. The application of the P/E valuation method requires
calculating Seacoast's pro forma market value by applying a valuation P/E
multiple, derived from the Peer Group's P/E multiple, times the pro forma
earnings base. In applying this technique, we considered both reported earnings
and a recurring earnings base, that is, earnings adjusted to exclude any
one-time non-operating and extraordinary items, plus the estimated after-tax
earnings benefit from reinvestment of net conversion proceeds. Compass' reported
earnings (incorporating Sandwich Bancorp) were $18.2 million for the twelve
months ended May 31, 1998. In deriving core earnings, the adjustments made to
reported pre-tax earnings were the

gains on the sale of investments and loans, which, on a tax effected basis,
indicated adjusted earnings of approximately $17.3 million. Similar types of
adjustments were applied to the Peer Group in the calculation of their core
earnings (Note: see Exhibit 5).

            Based on Compass' reported and estimated core earnings, and
incorporating the impact of the pro forma assumptions discussed previously,
Seacoast's pro forma reported and core P/E multiples incorporating a $240
million offering amount and a 6.4000 times exchange ratio were 15.41 and 15.99
times, respectively, which reflects a reduction in the range of 7 to 9 percent
from the midpoint ratios in the Original Appraisal. Incorporating a 4.7407
exchange ratio for Sandwich Bancorp, Seacoast's pro forma P/E and P/Core
multiples are equal to 14.03 times and 14.56 times, respectively, which reflects
a reduction in a range of 8 to 10 percent relative to the ratios set forth in
the Original Appraisal. In deriving the earnings based pricing multiples, we
also considered the potential long-term benefits of the merger with Sandwich
Bancorp. RP Financial also considered the impact of SOP 93-6 in examining the
P/E ratios.

         3. P/A Approach. P/A ratios are generally not as reliable an indicator
of market value, as investors appear to place less weight on total assets as a
determinant of market value. Investors place significantly greater weight on
book value and earnings -- which have received greater weight in our valuation
analysis. At the midpoint of the offering range and assuming a 6.4000 exchange
ratio, Seacoast's value equaled 19.15 percent of pro forma assets, compared to
the Peer Group average P/A ratio of 14.29 percent, which implies a 34 percent
premium being applied to Seacoast's pro forma P/A ratio which is slightly higher
than the 31 percent premium in the Original Appraisal. While generally
emphasized less than the P/E and P/B approaches, the P/A ratio is an indicator
of franchise value and, thus, was considered in the valuation conclusion. The
pro forma P/A ratio has been calculated assuming no deposit withdrawals are made
to fund stock purchases. In all likelihood there will be deposit withdrawals,
which results in understating the pro forma P/A ratio which is computed herein.


Summary
- -------

      Based on the foregoing, we have concluded that Seacoast's estimated pro
forma market value should be reduced from the Original Appraisal. Accordingly,
it is our opinion, as of August 7, 1998, the pro forma offering value of
Seacoast's conversion is $240 million, taking into account the potential range
of exchange ratios in the subsequent acquisition of Sandwich Bancorp as set
forth in the Merger Agreement. Accordingly, the conversion offering range of
value, based on an offering price of $10.00 per share value, is as follows:
