SALISBURY BANCORP, INC. ANNOUNCES THIRD QUARTER EARNINGS

Lakeville, Connecticut, November 15, 2004/PRNewswire….Salisbury Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”), (AMEX:SAL) the holding company for Salisbury Bank and Trust Company announced today that net income for the third quarter of 2004 was $795,902 or $.54 per share. This compares to 2003 third quarter net income of $1,015,635 or $.71 per share. For the nine months ended September 30, 2004, net income totaled $2,963,716 or $2.05 per share as compared to net income of $3,045,195 or $2.14 per share for the same nine month period in 2003. The decrease is primarily the result of nonrecurring costs relating to the upgrading of the Company’s core account processing system and the merger with Canaan National Bancorp, Inc. and appears to be not indicative of any trend.
