              Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
                               September 30, 1997
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1)    Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

      The consolidated interim financial statements of Somerset Savings Bank and
      subsidiaries presented herein should be read in conjunction with the
      consolidated financial statements of Somerset Savings Bank in the annual
      report for the year ended December 31, 1996.

      In the opinion of management, the financial statements reflect all
      adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring accruals) necessary for
      a fair presentation of such information. Interim results are not
      necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the entire year.

2)    Commitments and Contingencies

      At September 30, 1997, the Bank had outstanding commitments to originate
      loans amounting to approximately $6.8 million, unadvanced funds on
      construction loans and lines of credit amounting to approximately $9.6
      million and $13.3 million, respectively, and standby letters of credit
      amounting to $479,000.

3)    Earnings Per Share

      Earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares
      and common stock equivalents outstanding during each period. Earnings per
      share computations include common stock equivalents attributable to
      outstanding stock options.
