             CAUTIONARY ADVICE ABOUT FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

The Company may from time to time make written or oral statements that are
considered "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  Forward-looking statements may
include financial projections, statements of plans and objectives for
future operations, estimates of future economic performance and assumptions
relating thereto.  The Company may include forward-looking statements in
its filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, in its reports to
stockholders, in other written materials, and in statements made by senior
management to analysts, rating agencies, institutional investors,
representatives of the media and others.

By their very nature, forward-looking statements are subject to
uncertainties, both general and specific, and risk exists those
predictions, forecasts, projections and other estimates contained in
forward-looking statements will not be achieved.  Also when we use any of
the words "believes," "expects," "anticipates" or similar expressions, we
are making forward-looking statements.  Many possible events or factors,
including those beyond the control of management, could affect the future
financial results and performance of our company.  This could cause results
or performance to differ materially from those expressed in our forward-
looking statements.  The possible events or factors that might affect our
forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the following:

*     Uses of monetary, fiscal and tax policy by various governments
*     Political, legislative or regulatory developments in Vermont, New
      Hampshire or the United States including changes in laws concerning
      accounting, taxes, banking and other aspects of the financial
      services industry
*     Developments in general economic or business conditions, including
      interest rate fluctuations, market fluctuations and perceptions, and
      inflation
*     Changes in the competitive environment for financial services
      organizations
*     The company's ability to retain key personnel
*     Technological changes including demands for greater automation and
      the impact of the internet on the company's business and on the
      financial services marketplace
*     Acts of terrorism
*     Adverse changes in the securities market
*     Unanticipated lower revenues, loss of customers or business or higher
      operating expenses

While relying on forward-looking statements to make decisions with respect
to the Company, investors and others are cautioned to consider these and
other risks and uncertainties.

Dear Shareholder:

The final quarter of 2002 has come to a close and we are pleased to report
the results. Net income for the quarter was $1.53 million ($.51 per share)
and for the year, $5.18 million ($1.71 per share). Both improvements over
prior year periods.

Interest rates have continued to hover at 40 year lows, feeding the
refinancing "frenzy" throughout the year. Late in the third quarter and
during the fourth quarter we made the decision, in order to reduce our
interest rate risk, to "sell" a portion of the low rate, fixed term
mortgage loans we were originating. Although we sold over $28 million in
mortgage loans during the year, the loans outstanding increased $5 million.
The sale of loans also had a positive effect by increasing our sold and
serviced loan portfolio to over $60 million, which will increase servicing
fee income in the future.

Another positive influence this year was the BUILD loan program for
financing residential and small business construction projects. $20 million
in loans were granted, which added much needed fuel for the local economy.
Since its inception in 1992, $118 million has been provided for
construction loans within our market area. Although a bit too early to say
for sure, we anticipate another strong BUILD year in 2003.

In April we opened our new Fairfax office. At year end we were ahead of
plan for both loan and deposit growth and the reception from the community
has been very good. The next few years should show continued growth for us
in Fairfax.

In general the economy shows mixed results within our service area. While
Lamoille County appears to be faring well (lots of snow so far), Caledonia
County has been less fortunate and has experienced layoffs at a number of
companies. Efforts are underway to invigorate the economy and provide
employment growth. We are participating in these endeavors and are
optimistic the St. Johnsbury economy will improve.

It is impossible to write a letter to shareholders for 2002 without a
comment on the corporate governance changes being implemented from the
Enron fallout. New rules are still being drafted but it is safe to say the
cost of ensuring compliance will rise as will oversight of the accountants
and public companies they audit. Since financial institutions are already
part of a regulated industry, hopefully the impact of the new regulations
will not be too onerous. Change was needed in many industries; we hope it
is rational change benefiting all shareholders.

Our annual meeting is scheduled for May 21st with information to be mailed
in mid-April.

Enclosed is a dividend check or advice of deposit representing a dividend
of $.30 per share to shareholders of record January 25, 2003.

Sincerely,


W. Arlen Smith                         Kenneth D. Gibbons
