We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Community Bancorp. and Subsidiary as of December 31, 2003 and the related consolidated statement of income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the year then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. The financial statements of Community Bancorp. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2002 and 2001 and for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 were audited by other auditors whose report thereon dated January 10, 2003 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Community Bancorp. and Subsidiary at December 31, 2003, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with U. S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Community Bancorp. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1. Significant Accounting Policies

The accounting policies of Community Bancorp. and Subsidiaries ("Company") are in conformity with U. S. generally accepted accounting principles and general practices within the banking industry. The following is a description of the significant policies.

Basis of presentation and consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Community Bancorp. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Community National Bank (Community) and Liberty Savings Bank (Liberty). During the third quarter of 2003, the Company sold its stock interest in Liberty Savings Bank, a New Hampshire guaranty savings bank charter acquired by Community Bancorp. in 1997. The Company was paid $307,500 for this charter valued at $300,000 as of the sale date. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Nature of operations

The Company provides a variety of financial services to individuals, municipalities, and corporate customers through its branches, ATMs, and telephone and internet banking in northeastern and central Vermont, which is primarily a small business and agricultural area. The Company's primary deposit products are checking and savings accounts and certificates-of-deposit. Its primary lending products are commercial, real estate, municipal, and consumer loans.

Concentration of risk

The Company's operations are affected by various risk factors, including interest-rate risk, credit risk, and risk from geographic concentration of deposit taking and lending activities. Management attempts to manage interest rate risk through various asset/liability management techniques designed to match maturities of assets and liabilities. Loan policies and administration are designed to provide assurance that loans will only be granted to creditworthy borrowers, although credit losses are expected to occur because of subjective factors and factors beyond the control of the Company. Although the Company has a diversified loan portfolio and economic conditions are relatively stable at this time, most of its lending activities are conducted within the geographic area where it is located. As a result, the Company and its borrowers may be especially vulnerable to the consequences of changes in the local economy. In addition, a substantial portion of the Company's loans are secured by real estate, which could experience a decline in value, especially during times of adverse economic conditions.

Use of estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U. S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change relate to the determination of the allowance for losses on loans and the valuation of real estate acquired in connection with foreclosures or in satisfaction of loans. In connection with the determination of the allowances for losses on loans and foreclosed real estate, management obtains independent appraisals for significant properties. Accordingly, the ultimate collectibility of a substantial portion of the Company's loan portfolio and the recovery of a substantial portion of the carrying amount of foreclosed real estate are susceptible to changes in local market conditions. The amount of the change that is reasonably possible cannot be estimated.

While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans and foreclosed real estate, future additions to the allowances may be necessary based on changes in local economic conditions. In addition, regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Company's allowances for losses on loans and foreclosed real estate. Such agencies may require the Company to recognize additions to the allowances based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

Presentation of cash flows

For purposes of presentation in the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, amounts due from banks (including cash items in process of clearing), federal funds sold (generally purchased and sold for one day periods), and overnight deposits.

Investment securities

Debt securities the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held-to-maturity and reported at amortized cost. Debt and equity securities not classified as held-to-maturity are classified as available-for-sale. Investments classified as available-for-sale are carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses net of tax and reclassification adjustment reported as a net amount in other comprehensive income. Investment securities transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. The specific identification method is used to determine realized gains and losses on sales of securities available-for-sale. Premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the period to maturity or call date.

Restricted equity securities

Restricted equity securities are comprised of Federal Reserve Bank stock and Federal Home Loan Bank stock. These securities are carried at cost. As a member of the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston (FRB), the Company is required to invest in FRB stock in an amount equal to 3% of Community National Bank's capital stock and surplus.

As a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston (FHLB), the Company is required to invest in $100 par value stock of the FHLB in an amount that approximates 1% of unpaid principal balances on qualifying loans. The stock is nonmarketable, and when redeemed, the Company would receive from the FHLB an amount equal to the par value of the stock.

Loans held for sale

Loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value in the aggregate. Net unrealized losses are recognized through a valuation allowance by charges to income.

Loans

Loans receivable that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or pay-off are reported at their outstanding principal adjusted for any charge-offs, the allowance for loan losses, and any deferred fees or costs on originated loans.

Loan interest income is accrued daily on the outstanding balances. The accrual of interest is discontinued when a loan is specifically determined to be impaired or when the loan is delinquent 90 days and management believes, after considering collection efforts and other factors, that the borrower's financial condition is such that collection of interest is doubtful. Any unpaid interest previously accrued on those loans is reversed from income. Interest income is generally not recognized on specific impaired loans unless the likelihood of further loss is remote. Interest payments received on such loans are generally applied as a reduction of the loan principal balance. Interest income on other nonaccrual loans is recognized only to the extent of interest payments received. Loans are returned to accrual status when principal and interest payments are brought current and the customer has proven the ability to make future payments on a timely basis. Loans are charged off when collection of principal is considered doubtful. Past due status is determined on a contractual basis.

Loan origination and commitment fees and certain direct loan origination costs are being deferred and the net amount amortized as an adjustment of the related loan's yield. The Company is generally amortizing these amounts over the contractual life of the loans.

Allowance for loan losses

The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level which, in management's judgment, is adequate to absorb credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The amount of the allowance is based on management's periodic evaluation of the collectibility of the loan portfolio, including the nature of the portfolio, credit concentrations, trends in historical loss experience, specific impaired loans, and economic conditions. Allowances for impaired loans are generally determined based on collateral values or the present value of estimated cash flows. The allowance is increased by a provision for loan losses, which is charged to expense, and reduced by charge-offs, net of recoveries.

Bank premises and equipment

Bank premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed principally by the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. The cost of assets sold or otherwise disposed of, and the related accumulated depreciation is eliminated from the accounts and the resulting gains or losses are reflected in the statement of income. Maintenance and repairs are charged to current expense as incurred and the cost of major renewals and betterments are capitalized.

Other real estate owned

Real estate properties acquired through or in lieu of loan foreclosure are initially recorded at the lower of the Company's carrying amount or fair value less estimated selling cost at the date of foreclosure. Any write-downs based on the asset's fair value at the date of acquisition are charged to the allowance for loan losses. After foreclosure, these assets are carried at the lower of their new cost basis or fair value less cost to sell. Costs of significant property improvements are capitalized, whereas costs relating to holding property are expensed. Valuations are periodically performed by management, and any subsequent write-downs are recorded as a charge to operations, if necessary, to reduce the carrying value of a property to the lower of its cost or fair value less cost to sell.

Income taxes

The Company recognizes income taxes under the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are established for the temporary differences between the accounting basis and the tax basis of the Company's assets and liabilities at enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when the amounts related to such temporary differences are realized or settled. Adjustments to the Company's deferred tax assets are recognized as deferred income tax expense or benefit based on management's judgments relating to the realizability of such asset.

Foreign currency transactions

Foreign currency (principally Canadian) amounts are translated to U.S. dollars. The U.S. dollar is the functional currency and therefore translation adjustments are recognized in income. Total translation adjustments, including adjustments on foreign currency transactions, are immaterial.

Mortgage servicing

Servicing assets are recognized as separate assets when rights are acquired through purchase or through sale of financial assets. Capitalized servicing rights are reported in other assets and are amortized into noninterest income in proportion to, and over the period of, the estimated future net servicing income of the underlying financial assets. Servicing rights are evaluated for impairment based upon the fair value of the rights as compared to amortized cost. Impairment is determined by stratifying the rights by predominant characteristics, such as interest rates and terms. Fair value is determined using prices for similar assets with similar characteristics, when available, or based upon discounted cash flows using market-based assumptions. Impairment is recognized through a valuation allowance, to the extent that fair value is less than the capitalized amount.

Pension costs
Pension costs are charged to salaries and employee benefits expense and accrued over the active service period.
Advertising costs
The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred.
Comprehensive income
Accounting principles generally require that recognized revenue, expenses, gains, and losses be included in net income. Although certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities, are reported as a separate component of the equity section of the balance sheet, such items, along with net income, are components of comprehensive income.
The components of other comprehensive income and related tax effects at December 31 are as follows:
		2003		2002		2001
Change in unrealized holdings gains (losses) on
available-for-sale securities arising during the period		$	(583,309)	$	1,454,475	$	194,508
Reclassification adjustment for gains realized in income			(142,368)		(2,212)		(119,407)
Net unrealized gains (losses)			(725,677)		1,452,263		75,101
Tax effect			246,730		(493,769)		(25,534)
Net of tax amount		$	(478,947)	$	958,494	$	49,567
Earnings per common share
Earnings per common share amounts are computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock issued during the period (retroactively adjusted for stock splits and stock dividends) and reduced for shares held in treasury.
Off-balance-sheet financial instruments
In the ordinary course of business, the Company has entered into off-balance-sheet financial instruments consisting of commitments to extend credit, commitments under credit card arrangements, commercial and municipal letters of credit, standby letters of credit, and risk-sharing commitments on certain sold loans. Such financial instruments are recorded in the financial statements when they are funded.
Fair values of financial instruments
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating its fair value disclosures for financial instruments:
	Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash and cash equivalents approximate their fair values.
	Investment securities: Fair values for investment securities are based on quoted market prices, where available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments.
	Restricted equity securities: The carrying amounts of these securities approximate their fair values.

<PAGE>  15

Community Bancorp. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
	Loans and loans held for sale: For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying amounts. The fair values for other loans (for example, fixed rate residential, commercial real estate, and rental property mortgage loans, and commercial and industrial loans) are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis, based on interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. Loan fair value estimates include judgments regarding future expected loss experience and risk characteristics. The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for loans that are held for sale approximate their market values. Fair values for impaired loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses or underlying collateral values, where applicable.
	Deposits and borrowed funds: The fair values disclosed for demand deposits (for example, checking and savings accounts) are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (that is, their carrying amounts). The fair values for certificates of deposit and debt are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates and debt to a schedule of aggregated contractual maturities on such time deposits and debt.
	Short-term borrowings: The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for repurchase agreements approximate their fair values. These borrowings are short-term and due on demand.
	Other liabilities: Commitments to extend credit were evaluated and fair value was estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the present creditworthiness of the counterparties. For fixed-rate loan commitments, fair value also considers the difference between current levels of interest rates and the committed rates.
	Accrued interest: The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximates their fair values.
Transfers of financial assets
Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales when control over the assets has been surrendered. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when (1) the assets have been isolated from the Company, (2) the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets, and (3) the Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity.
Reclassification
Certain amounts in the 2002 and 2001 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

In February of 2003, the Company began selling loans under a new program with FHLB, the Mortgage Partnership Finance program (MPF). While selling loans to the secondary market is not new business for the Company, this partnership with FHLB is different in that the bank shares in the credit risk of each mortgage, while receiving fee income in return. These loans meet specific underwriting standards of the FHLB. As of December 31, 2003, the Company had funded $28.3 million in loans with the MPF program. The volume of loans sold to the MPF program and the corresponding credit obligation continues to be closely monitored by management. As of December 31, 2003, the maximum contingent liability related to this program is $538,000 of which $75,000 is included in accrued expenses and other liabilities.

Note 8. Other Investments
The Company purchased various partnership interests in limited partnerships. These partnerships were established to acquire, own and rent residential housing for low and moderate income Vermonters located in northeastern Vermont.
These investments, which are included in other assets, are recorded at cost and adjusted for the Company's proportionate share of the partnership's undistributed earnings or losses. Under the effective yield method, the tax credits allocated, net of any deferred tax provisions, are recognized in the income statement as a component of income taxes attributable to continuing operations. Amortization of the investment in the limited partnerships is recognized as a component of "other expenses". The carrying values of these investments were $2,001,792

Treasury notes with a book value of $14,172,332 and $17,298,115 and a fair value of $14,548,750 and $17,846,382 at December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. These securities pay interest at rates between 3.65% and 7.575% and mature at varying dates through 2012.
The average daily balance of these repurchase agreements approximated $11,686,200 and $12,603,469 during 2003 and 2002, respectively. The maximum borrowings outstanding on these agreements at any month-end reporting period of the Company were $12,846,064 and $15,775,133 in 2003 and 2002, respectively. These repurchase agreements mature daily and carried a weighted average interest rate of 1.04% during 2003. The securities underlying these agreements are held in safekeeping at the Federal Reserve Bank.
Note 12. Income Taxes
The Company prepares its federal income tax return on a consolidated basis. Federal income taxes are allocated to members of the consolidated group based on taxable income.
Federal income tax expense for the years ended December 31 was as follows:
			2003		2002				2001
		Currently paid or payable	$	668,550	$		1,012,961		$		873,967
		Deferred		320,631			(88,010)				1,509
			$	989,181	$		924,951		$		875,476
Total income tax expense differed from the amounts computed at the statutory federal income tax rate of 34 percent primarily due to the following at December 31:
			2003			2002				2001
	Computed expected tax expense		$	1,627,732		$		1,416,074		$		1,248,922

Note 13. Pension Plan
The Company has a discretionary defined contribution plan covering all employees who meet certain age and service requirements. Due to the fact that the plan is a defined contribution plan, rather than a defined benefit plan, there is no unfunded past service liability. The provisions for pension expense were $353,205, $323,375, and $285,105 for 2003, 2002, and 2001, respectively. These amounts represent discretionary matching contributions of a portion of the voluntary employee salary deferrals under the 401(k) plan and discretionary profit-sharing contributions under the plan.
Note 14. Financial Instruments with Off-Balance-Sheet Risk
The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers and to reduce its own exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit and financial guarantees, commitments to sell loans, and risk-sharing commitments on certain sold loans. Such instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheet. The contract or notional amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Company has in particular classes of financial instruments.
The Company's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit and financial guarantees written is represented by the contractual notional amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.
The Company generally requires collateral or other security to support financial instruments with credit risk.
		Contract or
		Notional Amount
		2003		2002
		(in thousands)
	Financial instruments whose contract amount represent
	credit risk:
	Commitments to extend credit	$	21,377	$	12,924
	Standby letters of credit and commercial letters of credit	$	401		164
	Credit card arrangements	$	7,899		7,040
	MPF credit enhancement obligation	$	538	$	0
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. At December 31, 2003 and 2002, the Company has binding loan commitments at fixed rates approximating $1,538,000 and $2,100,000, respectively, that are included in commitments to extend credit.
The Company evaluates each customer's credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained if deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit is based on management's credit evaluation of the counter-party. Collateral held varies but may include real estate, accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, and income-producing commercial properties.

<PAGE>  25

Community Bancorp. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)
Standby letters of credit and financial guarantees written are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support private borrowing arrangements. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers.
Note 15. Commitments and Contingencies
In the normal course of business, the Company is involved in various claims and legal proceedings. In the opinion of the Company's management, after consulting with the Company's legal counsel, any liabilities resulting from such proceedings would not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial statements.
Note 16. Transactions with Related Parties
The Company has had, and may be expected to have in the future, banking transactions in the ordinary course of business with directors, principal officers, their immediate families and affiliated companies in which they are principal stockholders (commonly referred to as related parties), all of which have been, in the opinion of management, on the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with others and which do not represent more than the normal risk of collectibility, or present other unfavorable features.
Aggregate loan transactions with related parties as of December 31 were as follows:
		2003		2002
	Balance, beginning	$	720,631	$	631,464
	New loans		150,672		367,173
	Repayments		(207,692)		(278,006)
	Retirement (Executive Officer)		(72,335)		0
	Balance, ending	$	591,276	$	720,631
Total deposits with related parties approximated $791,056 and $984,979 at December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
Note 17. Deferred Compensation and Supplemental Employee Retirement Plans
The Company maintains a deferred compensation plan and a retirement plan for its directors. These participants are general creditors of the Company with respect to these benefits. The benefits accrued under these plans were $514,572 and $458,780 at December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Expenses associated with these plans were $67,791, $59,759, and $57,695 for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002, and 2001, respectively.
The Company also maintains a supplemental employee retirement plan for key employees of the Company. Benefits accrued under this plan were $253,460 and $333,835 at December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The expense associated with this plan was $76,795, $156,125, and $62,720 for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002, and 2001, respectively.
Note 18. Restrictions on Cash and Due From Banks
The Company is required to maintain reserve balances in cash with Federal Reserve Banks. The totals of those reserve balances were approximately $2,176,000 and $2,879,000 at December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

The nature of the Company's business requires that it maintain amounts due from banks that, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. No losses have been experienced in these accounts. The Company believes it is not exposed to any significant risk with respect to these accounts. In addition, the Company was required to maintain contracted clearing balances of $275,000 at December 31, 2003 and 2002.

Note 19. Regulatory Matters

The Company (on a consolidated basis) and the Bank (Community National Bank) are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory-and possibly additional discretionary-actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company's and the Bank's financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of their assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. Prompt corrective action provisions are not applicable to bank holding companies.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total and Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier 1 capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined). Management believes, as of December 31, 2003, that the Company and the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.

As of December 31, 2003, the most recent notification from the OCC categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the table. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Bank's categories.

The Company's ability to pay dividends to its shareholders is largely dependent on the Bank's ability to pay dividends to the Company. The Bank is restricted by law as to the amount of dividends that can be paid. Dividends declared by national banks that exceed net income for the current and preceding two years must be approved by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. Regardless of formal regulatory restrictions, the Bank may not pay dividends that would result in its capital levels being reduced below the minimum requirements shown above.

The estimated fair values of deferred fees on commitments to extend credit and letters of credit were immaterial at December 31, 2003 and 2002.
Note 21. Intangibles
As a result of the Company's purchase of 100% of the stock of Liberty Savings Bank, a New Hampshire guaranty savings bank, the excess of the purchase price paid over the assets acquired was amortized on a straight-line basis over 15 years. In 2002, this goodwill became impaired due to changes in New Hampshire's Interstate Branching law, and accordingly, the Company expensed the remaining balance, which amounted to $251,286. Amortization of goodwill in 2002 includes recognition of impairment expenses associated with the adoption of SFAS No. 142. Amortization expense was $251,286, and $22,844 for the years ended December 31, 2002, and 2001, respectively.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and

the Results of Operations

For the Years Ended December 31, 2003, 2002, and 2001

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

      The Company's Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains certain forward-looking statements about the results of operations, financial condition and business of the Company and its subsidiaries. When used therein, the words "believes," "expects," "anticipates," "intends," "estimates," "plans," "predicts," or similar expressions, indicate that management of the Company is making forward-looking statements.

      Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. They necessarily involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Future results of the Company may differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking statements. Examples of forward looking statements included in this discussion include, but are not limited to, estimated contingent liability related to assumptions made within the asset/liability management process, management's expectations as to the future interest rate environment and the Company's related liquidity level, credit risk expectations relating to the Company's participation in the FHLB Mortgage Partnership Finance (MPF) program, and management's general outlook for the future performance of the Company, summarized below under "Overview". Although forward-looking statements are based on management's current expectations and estimates, many of the factors that could influence or determine actual results are unpredictable and not within the Company's control. Readers are cautioned not to place undo reliance on such statements as they speak only as of the date they are made. The Company does not undertake, and disclaims any obligation, to revise or update any forward-looking statements to reflect the occurrence or anticipated occurrence of events or circumstances after the date of this Report, except as required by applicable law. The Company claims the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements provided in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

      Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by these forward-looking statements include, among others, the following possibilities: (1) competitive pressures increase among financial service providers in the Company's northern New England market area or in the financial service industry generally, including competitive pressures from non-bank financial service providers, from increasing consolidation and integration of financial service providers, and from changes in technology and delivery systems; (2) interest rates change in such a way as to reduce the Company's margins; (3) general economic or monetary conditions, either nationally or regionally, are less favorable than expected, resulting in a deterioration in credit quality or a diminished demand for the Company's products and services; (4) changes in laws or government rules, or the way in which courts interpret those laws or rules, adversely affect the Company's business; and (5) changes in federal or state tax policy.

OVERVIEW

      The following Management's Discussion and Analysis will tell you what you already know: 2003 was a very successful year for the Company. With interest rates continuing at all time lows, the mortgage activity was well above anticipated levels resulting in record income from the sales of these mortgages in the secondary market. This, combined with our ability to reduce the cost of deposits, resulted in earnings of $1.01 per share compared to $.87 in 2003, and $.75 in 2002.

      Asset growth was also strong, with total assets growing by $21 million to $331 million. We view the successful opening of our new facility in Barre and the improving health of the economy in the regions in which we operate as positive signs for the future. Although predictions are subject to inherent uncertainties and actual results may differ significantly, we are hopeful that the Company can continue our asset growth at rates above the rate of inflation for the next few years. Growth is important to the future prospects of the Company because it allows us to spread our overhead over a larger asset base.

      The cost of operating the Company, other than interest expense, known as non-interest expenses was up marginally over the previous year but, when expressed as a percentage of assets, was down slightly. This is the trend that we hope to follow as we continue to grow and spread the cost of doing business over a larger asset base.

      We expect that mortgage activity will slow during 2004 and that our spread, the difference between our cost of deposits and return on assets, will continue to shrink, resulting in slightly lower earnings.

<PAGE>  35

      The following pages describe the financial results of our year in much more detail. Please take the time to read them to more fully understand 2003 in relation to other recent years. The discussion below should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company and related notes. This report includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act").

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

      The Company's consolidated financial statements are prepared according to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of such financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and related notes. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has defined a company's critical accounting policies as the ones that are most important to the portrayal of the Company's financial condition and results of operations, and which require the Company to make its most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. Because of the significance of these estimates and assumptions, there is a high likelihood that materially different amounts would be reported for the Company under different conditions or using different assumptions or estimates.

      Management believes that the calculation of the allowance for loan loss (ALL) is a critical accounting policy that requires the most significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements. In estimating the ALL, management utilizes historical experience as well as other factors including the effect of changes in the local real estate market on collateral values, use of current economic indicators and their probable impact on borrowers and changes in delinquent, nonperforming or impaired loans. Management's estimates used in the ALL may increase or decrease based on changes in these factors resulting in adjustments to the Company's provision for loan losses. Actual results could differ significantly from these estimates under different assumptions, judgments or conditions.

      Occasionally, the Company acquires property in connection with foreclosures or in satisfaction of debt previously contracted. To determine the value of property acquired in foreclosure, management often obtains independent appraisals for significant properties. Accordingly, the recovery of a substantial portion of the carrying amount of foreclosed real estate is susceptible to changes in local market conditions. The amount of the change that is reasonably possible cannot be estimated. In addition, regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Company's allowance for losses on loans and foreclosed real estate. Such agencies may require the Company to recognize additions to the allowances based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination.

      Management utilizes numerous techniques to estimate the carrying value of various assets held by the Company, including, but not limited to, property, plant and equipment, mortgage servicing rights, and deferred taxes. The assumptions considered in making these estimates are based on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Management acknowledges that the use of different estimates or assumptions used could produce different estimates of carrying values.

      Management evaluates on an ongoing basis its judgment as to which policies are considered to be critical.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

      The Company's net income of $3.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2003 was an increase of 17.2% over the 2002 calendar year, compared to a 15.8% increase for 2002 over 2001. The tremendous volume in the sale of mortgage loans, due to the low rate environment, continued to boost income in 2003. A gain on the sale of some corporate bonds, as well as a decrease in the provision for loan losses also contributed significantly to earnings in 2003. The sale of the Company's trust operations and the increase in the secondary market loan activity were key components of the increase for 2002 compared to 2001. These earnings resulted in earnings per share of $1.01, $0.87, and $0.75, respectively. The Company's average assets grew by 6.8% in 2003 resulting in total average assets of $316.1 million at year end. Growth of the Company's assets, together with strong earnings, resulted in a return on average assets of 1.20%.

      Return on average assets (ROA), which is net income divided by average total assets, measures how effectively a corporation uses its assets to produce earnings. Return on average equity (ROE), which is net income divided by average shareholders' equity, measures how effectively a corporation uses its equity capital to produce earnings. The following table shows these ratios as well as other equity ratios.

INTEREST INCOME VERSUS INTEREST EXPENSE
(NET INTEREST INCOME)
The largest component of the Company's operating income is net interest income, which is the difference between interest earned on loans and investments versus the interest paid on deposits and other sources of funds (i.e. other borrowings). The Company's level of net interest income can fluctuate over time due to changes in the level and mix of earning assets, and sources of funds (volume) and from changes in the yield earned and costs of funds (rate). Tables A and B below provide a visual comparison for each period. A portion of the Company's income from municipal investments is not subject to income taxes. Therefore, for the purpose of comparative analysis, we convert the non-taxable income to a tax equivalent amount. Figures presented on these two tables are consolidated and are stated on a tax equivalent basis assuming a federal tax rate of 34%. The Company's corporate tax rate is 34%, therefore, to equalize tax-free and taxable income in the comparison, we must divide the tax-free income by 66%, with the result that every tax-free dollar is equal to $1.52 in taxable income.
The following table provides a reconciliation between net interest income presented on the statement of income and the tax equivalent net interest income presented on Table A below for the 12 months comparison periods of 2003, 2002, and 2001.

<PAGE>  39

Interest income from loans accounts for approximately 78.5% of interest income, reporting $14.2 million for 2003, $14.5 million for 2002, and $15.5 million for 2001, with average yields of 6.93%, 7.36%, and 8.55%, respectively. Although an increase in the average volume of loans is noted, the rate charged on these assets has decreased throughout the comparison period clearly supporting the decrease in interest earned for 2003 compared to 2002. Since 2001, overall interest rates have remained at a 40-year low. This has affected the Company's net interest income in several ways. First and foremost, some of the Company's loans are contractually allowed to reprice based on benchmarks such as Prime Rate and the Federal Housing Finance Board Contract Rate. As these loans reprice, the rate that the customer is paying on the loan is reduced, resulting in a reduction in interest income to the Company. Second, the low interest rate environment has created a highly competitive marketplace for new loan activity. Therefore, interest rates on new loans were lower than previously experienced. Furthermore, cash flows and payoffs of loans that were reinvested in other investments such as securities were also at the lower rates. The Company's decision to sell fixed rate loans on the secondary market in this historically low interest rate environment is a strategy to protect the interest margin in the future. Furthermore, the Company retains the servicing rights on the sold loans which generates fee income.
Interest expense on time deposits accounts for approximately 60.9% of total interest expense. Totals for the comparison were $3.3 million for 2003, $3.7 million for 2002, and $5.2 million for 2001, with average yields of 3.18%, 3.68% and 5.27%, respectively. The Company was able to partially compensate for the decrease in revenue from lower interest rates received on assets by reducing the interest rates paid on the deposit portfolio as the market would allow. Maintaining spreads has been increasingly challenging in this sustained low rate environment.
Growth of the balance sheet, and low non-performing assets have helped to maintain spreads in the low rate environment. However, during 2004, we anticipate a decrease in the spread as the asset base continues to reprice to the lower rates faster than funding costs can be reduced. To compensate for the compression in spreads, the Company will be looking for more opportunities to increase non-interest income and will be committed to controlling expenses.
The following table summarizes the variances in income for the years 2003, 2002, and 2001 resulting from volume changes in assets and liabilities and fluctuations in rates earned and paid.

NON-INTEREST INCOME AND NON-INTEREST EXPENSE
Non-interest Income: The Company's non-interest income was $3.4 million in 2003 and $3.3 million in 2002 compared to $2.3 million in 2001. Originations of approximately $62 million and $44 million in loans sold to the secondary market respectively, in 2003 and 2002 generated all-time high point fee and service fee income in 2003 and 2002. In 2003, gain on sales of securities contributed $142.9 thousand to non-interest income. The gain of $617,355 recognized from the sale of the Company's trust operations also contributed to the increase for 2002.
Non-interest Expense: The Company's non-interest expense increased to $10.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2003, from $10.5 million in 2002, an increase of approximately $262.7 thousand, or 2.5%. Although non-interest expense was up slightly from 2002 levels in absolute dollar terms, it was down slightly as a percentage of total assets (3.26% for 2003 versus 3.4% for 2002). Non-interest expense increased by $1.8 million in 2002, from $8.7 million in 2001, or 3.02% of total assets. Salaries, wages and employee benefits increased from 2002 to 2003 by $500.5 thousand due in part to the additional staff in the Central Vermont offices, as well as annual salary increases and higher employee benefit costs. Also contributing to the increase in non-interest expense in 2003 was the cost of the temporary facilities and start-up costs of the Barre offices. In 2002, the Company had a one-time expense of $245,575 when the Company expensed the remaining goodwill associated with the acquisition of Liberty Savings Bank.
Total losses relating to various limited partnership investments constitute a generous portion of non-interest expenses. These losses amounted to $403,374 in 2003, $708,473 in 2002 and $127,758 in 2001. These investments involve financing of low income housing projects throughout the Company's market area, and offer tax benefits for participants, including tax credits. The Company amortizes its investments in these limited partnerships under the effective yield method, resulting in the asset being amortized consistent with the periods in which the Company receives the tax benefit. Investment in limited partnerships with qualified rehabilitation credits results in a large portion of the benefit received in the form of tax credits in the first year, resulting in a lower tax expense. Consistent with applying the effective yield method, amortization of the asset is also proportionately larger in the first year.
Many of the components of non-interest expense are estimated on a yearly basis and accrued in monthly installments. In an attempt to present accurate figures on the statement of income for any interim period, these expenses are reviewed quarterly by senior management to ensure that monthly accruals are accurate, and any necessary adjustments are made at that time.
APPLICABLE INCOME TAXES
Provisions for income taxes increased approximately 6.9% for 2003 versus 2002, and 5.6% for 2002 versus 2001. The increase in computed tax expense is consistent with increased earnings. Tax credits for the investments in the limited partnerships mentioned above amounted to $361,876 for 2003, compared to $288,934 for 2002 and $169,990 for the 2001 tax year.

CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION

      The Company had total average assets of $316.1 million as of December 31, 2003 and $296.0 million as of December 31, 2002. Average earning assets were reported at just over $300 million at the end of 2003, including average loans of $205 million and investment securities of $91 million, compared to $283 million at the end of 2002, with average loans totaling $197 million and average investment securities of $81 million.

      Other factors contributing to the increase in total assets were from an increase to bank premises of $2.5 million for the Barre project, Net loans increased by $3.4 million, while loans held-for-sale decreased by $3.9 million, indicating that the demand for residential real estate mortgages is decreasing.

      Average interest-bearing liabilities at December 31, 2003 were $251 million, with $103 million in average time deposits and $90 million in average NOW and money market funds, compared to $238 million at December 31, 2002, with $100 million in average time deposits and $82 million in average NOW and money market funds.

      Changes to liabilities, providing funds for the growth in assets, came from an increase in total deposits of $18.8 million. Demand deposits increased by $5.9 million, NOW and money market accounts increased by $9.4 million, savings accounts increased by $3.8 million and total time deposits decreased by $400,000. Borrowed funds increased by $3.0 million while repurchase agreements decreased by $2.1 million. Municipal balances contributed to the increase in NOW and money market accounts by $6.4 million and the decrease in repurchase agreements by $1.2 million. Further funding came from earnings with an increase in retained earnings of $1.3 million.

      Repurchase agreements ended the years of 2003 and 2002 at average volumes of $11.7 million and $12.6 million, respectively, resulting in a decrease of just under $1 million. As required, securities from our investment portfolio are pledged against these agreements with a book value of $14.2 million and $17.3 million, respectively, and a fair value of $14.5 million and $17.8 million, respectively, at December 31, 2003 and 2002. The decrease in repurchase agreements can be attributed to a shift in municipal deposits to the Government Agency NOW Accounts introduced in 2002. The Government Agency Accounts are collateralized with an irrevocable letter of credit from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston (FHLB). These accounts are available only for Public Unit Deposits, therefore only available to our municipal customers. The benefit of the program for the Company is to reduce the amount of pledged securities required, thereby increasing liquidity.

LOANS

      The Company's loan portfolio consists of a mix of real estate, consumer, commercial, agricultural and other loans, including fixed and variable rate loans. Fluctuations in the loan portfolio are directly related to the economies of the communities served by the Company. Thus, the Company's borrowers could be adversely impacted by a downturn in local economies that could have a material effect on the borrowers' ability to repay their loans.

The following table reflects the composition of the Company's loan portfolio, including loans held for sale, as of December 31,

Allowance for Loan Losses and Provisions: The valuation allowance for loan losses as of December 31, 2003 of $2.2 million constitutes approximately 1.1% of the total loan portfolio. In management's opinion, this is both adequate and reasonable in view of the fact that $121 million, or 59% of the total loan portfolio is secured by 1-4 family residences, and $45 million, or 22% is secured by commercial real estate properties. In management's opinion, a loan portfolio consisting of 81% in residential and commercial real estate secured mortgage loans is more stable and less vulnerable to significant default risk than a portfolio with a higher concentration of unsecured commercial and industrial loans or personal loans.
The following table summarizes the Company's loan loss experience for each of the last five years.

A comparison of non-performing assets reveals a decrease of 29% for 2003 compared to 2002 and an increase of approximately 18% for 2002 compared to 2001. Non-performing assets were made up of the following:

When a loan reaches non-accrual status, it is determined that future collection of interest and principal is doubtful. At this point, the Company's policy is to reverse the accrued interest and to discontinue the accrual of interest until the borrower clearly demonstrates the ability to resume normal payments. Our portfolio of non-accrual loans for the years ended 2003, 2002, 2001, 2000, and 1999, are made up primarily of commercial real estate loans and residential real estate loans. Management does not anticipate any substantial effect to future operations if any of these loans are liquidated. Although interest is included in income only to the extent received from the borrower, deferred taxes are calculated monthly, based on the accrued interest of all non-accrual loans. This accrued interest amounted to $107,073 in 2003, $401,758 in 2002, $404,880 in 2001, $369,536 in 2000, and $398,006 in 1999. The Company had no foreign loans in 2003, and has no concentration in any industrial category.
Other real estate owned consists of property the Company has acquired in lieu of foreclosure or through normal foreclosure proceedings, and property the Company does not hold title to, but is in actual control of, known as in-substance foreclosure. The fair market value of the property is determined prior to transferring the balance to other real estate owned. The balance transferred is the lesser of the appraised value of the property, less cost to sell, or the book value of the loan. A write-down may be deemed necessary to bring the loan balance to a level equal to the appraised value prior to including it in OREO. Appraisals are then done periodically thereafter charging any additional write-downs to the appropriate expense account.
Management continues to monitor the allowance for loan losses very carefully with the reserve currently approximating one percent of total eligible loans. The Northeast Kingdom is known for being on the lower end of the economic scale within New England, and as such typically sees an immediate and direct impact in times of economic downturn or uncertainty. In view of this, the Company intends to maintain its conservative approach to the review process for reserve requirements and to adjust accordingly for any changes.

INVESTMENT SECURITIES
The Company maintains an investment portfolio of various securities to diversify its revenues, as well as provide interest rate risk and credit risk diversification and to provide for its liquidity and funding needs. The Company's portfolio of available-for-sale securities increased approximately $15.2 million in 2003, from just over $41.1 million to $56.3 million as of December 31, 2003. Additionally, as of December 31, 2003, the Company held in its investment portfolio U.S. Government agency securities and Obligations of State and Political Subdivisions classified as held-to-maturity, with a book value of $41.5 million, compared to $39.0 million a year ago. Accounting standards require banks to recognize all appreciation or depreciation of investments classified as either trading securities or available-for-sale either through the income statement or on the balance sheet even though a gain or loss has not been realized. Securities classified as "trading securities" are marked to market with any gain or loss charged to income. The Company did not have any trading securities during any of the preceding three years. Securities classified as "held-to-maturity" are to be held at book value. Securities classified as "available-for-sale" are marked to market with any gain or loss after taxes charged to the equity portion of the balance sheet. These figures amounted to an unrealized gain after taxes of $506,006 at the end of 2003 compared to $984,953 for 2002. As economic conditions decline and other market rates decrease, the value of debt securities increases. In 2002, the Company held many investments with yields greater than available in the market at that time, thereby increasing the market value and the related unrealized gains. Some of the Company's investment portfolios have a "call" feature, meaning that the investment can payoff early. Given the low rate environment, many of those investments with call features were exercised during 2003, and were replaced with investments at current market prices, contributing to the decrease in unrealized gains.

In 2003, the Company completed the construction of a new branch at 316 North Main St. in Barre, Vermont. A new two-story, 8,000 square foot building was constructed on leased land under a twenty-year ground lease. The lease includes an option to purchase exercisable after the 6th year, with one-half of the annual rental previously paid applied to the purchase price. The anticipated future payments under this lease are included in the schedule of future rental payments below. The cost of this project is reflected in the above schedule of bank premises and equipment as follows: land and improvements, $465,949; buildings, $2,053,563; furniture and equipment, $302,718.
Depreciation included in occupancy and equipment expense amounted to $642,826, $560,978, and $566,018 for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The amount of additional depreciation in 2003 from the Barre Branch project amounted to $12,369.
The Company now leases five of its nine locations. In addition to the new Barre branch, these leased facilities include branch offices in Island Pond, Barton, St. Johnsbury, and Montpelier, Vermont. The operating leases for these five locations expire in various years through 2022 with options to renew.

RISK MANAGEMENT
Market Risk and Asset and Liability Management: Market risk is the risk of loss in a financial instrument arising from adverse changes in market prices and rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices and equity prices. The Company does not have any market risk sensitive instruments acquired for trading purposes. The Company's market risk arises primarily from interest rate risk inherent in its lending and deposit taking activities. Management actively monitors and manages its interest rate risk exposure and attempts to structure the balance sheet to maximize net interest income while controlling its exposure to interest rate risk. The Company's Asset/Liability Committee formulates strategies to manage interest rate risk by evaluating the impact on earnings and capital of such factors as current interest rate forecasts and economic indicators, potential changes in such forecasts and indicators, liquidity, and various business strategies. The Asset Liability Management Committee (ALCO) meets monthly to review financial statements, liquidity levels, yields and spreads to better understand, measure, monitor and control the Company's interest rate risk. In the ALCO process, the committee members apply policy limits set forth in the Asset Liability, Liquidity and Investment policies approved by the Company's Board of Directors. The Asset/Liability Committee's methods for evaluating interest rate risk include an analysis of the Company's interest rate sensitivity "gap", which provides a static analysis of the maturity and repricing characteristics of the entire balance sheet.
Interest rate risk represents the sensitivity of earnings to changes in market interest rates. As interest rates change, the interest income and expense streams associated with the Company's financial instruments also change, thereby impacting net interest income (NII), the primary component of the Company's earnings. It is part of the ALCO process to utilize the results of a simulation model to quantify the estimated exposure of NII to sustained interest rate changes. The simulation model captures the impact of changing interest rates on the interest income received and interest expense paid on all interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities reflected on the Company's balance sheet. This sensitivity analysis is compared to the ALCO policy limits which specify a maximum tolerance level for NII exposure over a 1-year horizon, assuming no balance sheet growth, given a 100 basis point (bp) and a 200 bp shift upward and and a 100 bp downward shift in interest rates in one and two year scenarios. The analysis also provides testing of the assumptions used in previous simulation models by comparing the projected NII with actual NII.
Interest Rate Sensitivity "Gap" Analysis: An interest rate sensitivity "gap" is defined as the difference between the interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities maturing or repricing within a given time period. A gap is considered positive when the amount of interest rate sensitive assets exceeds the amount of interest rate sensitive liabilities. A gap is considered negative when the amount of interest rate sensitive liabilities exceeds the amount of interest rate sensitive assets. During a period of rising interest rates, a negative gap would tend to adversely affect net interest income, while a positive gap would tend to result in an increase in net interest income. During a period of falling interest rates, a negative gap would tend to result in an increase in net interest income, while a positive gap would tend to affect net interest income adversely. Because different types of assets and liabilities with the same or similar maturities may react differently to changes in overall market interest rates or conditions, changes in interest rates may affect net interest income positively or negatively even if an institution were perfectly matched in each maturity category.
The following tables set forth the estimated maturity or repricing of the Company's interest- earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities at December 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002. The Company prepares its interest rate sensitivity "gap" analysis by scheduling assets and liabilities into periods based upon the next date on which such assets and liabilities could mature or reprice. The amounts of assets and liabilities shown within a particular period were determined in accordance with the contractual term of the assets and liabilities, except that:
	*	Adjustable rate loans and certificates of deposit are included in the period when they are first scheduled to adjust and not in the period in which they mature;
	*	Fixed rate loans reflect scheduled contractual amortization, with no estimated prepayments;
	*	NOW, money markets, and savings deposits, which do not have contractual maturities, reflect estimated levels of attrition, which are based on studies by the Company of the sensitivity of each such category of deposit, to changes in interest rates.
Management believes that these assumptions approximate actual experience and considers them reasonable. However, the interest rate sensitivity of the Company's assets and liabilities in the tables could vary substantially if different assumptions were used or actual experience differs from the historical experiences on which the assumptions are based. The asset/liability management process includes quarterly back testing of the assumptions to test for reasonableness.

Liquidity Risk: Managing liquidity risk is essential to maintaining both depositor confidence and stability in earnings. Liquidity management refers to the ability of the Company to adequately cover fluctuations in assets and liabilities. Meeting loan demand (assets) and covering the withdrawal of deposit funds (liabilities) are two key components of the liquidity management process. The Company's principal sources of funds are deposits, amortization and prepayment of loans and securities, maturities of investment securities, sales of loans available-for-sale, and earnings and funds provided from operations. Maintaining a relatively stable funding base, which is achieved by diversifying funding sources, competitively pricing deposit products, and extending the contractual maturity of liabilities, reduces the Company's exposure to roll over risk on deposits and limits reliance on volatile short-term purchased funds. Short-term funding needs arise from declines in deposits or other funding sources and funding of loan commitments. The Company's strategy is to fund assets to the maximum extent possible with core deposits that provide a sizable source of relatively stable and low-cost funds.

      The Company believes that a portion of the increase in core deposits over the past two years is due to the current economic environment, as customers seek a safe haven for their money. This has created a high level of liquidity that the Company considers temporary. The Company has purchased assets, primarily 3-5 year agencies, attempting to maximize yields and maintain adequate liquidity.

      The Company has a credit line with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston (FHLB) with an available balance of $4.3 million. Interest is chargeable at a rate determined daily approximately 25 basis points higher than the rate paid on federal funds sold. Additional borrowing capacity of approximately $91.5 million through the FHLB is secured by the Company's qualifying loan and investment portfolio. As of December 31, 2003, the Company had an advance of $8.0 million against the $91.5 million line with no advances against the $4.3 million credit line. Under a separate agreement, the Company has the authority to collateralize public unit deposits (Government Agency Accounts mentioned under "Changes in Financial Condition") up to its FHLB borrowing capacity ($91.5 million less outstanding advances) with letters of credit issued by the FHLB. At December 31, 2003, approximately $42.2 million was pledged as collateral for these deposits. Interest is charged to the Company quarterly based on the average daily balance outstanding at a rate of 20 basis points. As of December 31, 2003, an average daily balance of approximately $11.4 million was reported.

      In January of 2003, the Company entered into an agreement with Promontory Interfinancial Network making it possible for the Company to make available to its customers FDIC Insured deposits beyond the $100,000 limit. This Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service (CDARS) uses a deposit-matching engine to match CDARS deposits in other participating banks, dollar-for-dollar. This product is designed to enhance customer attraction and retention, build deposits and improve net interest margins, while providing additional FDIC coverage to customers. Promontory now offers member banks an opportunity to participate with one-way orders. Banks can either accept deposits as a surplus bank or place customer funds with CDARS participating banks without matching funds. The Promontory Interfinancial Network provides the Company an alternative source of funding or investment opportunities.

      Due to the nature of the placement of funds, CDARS deposits are defined as "brokered deposits". Although it has always been the Company's policy not to accept brokered deposits,management and the directors deemd it advisable to make a limited exception for the CDARS program. Accordingly, the Company's Asset Liability policy now states that the Company will not accept brokered deposits other than through the CDARS program in the Promontory Interfinancial Network.

       During the first quarter of 2003, the Company placed three test-Certificates of Deposit in the CDARS program. These were short-term and matured during the reporting period. As of December 31, 2003, the Company reported a total balance of $50,000 in this product, classified as surplus funds. The Company will continue to monitor the development of this product closely and manage any associated risk accordingly.

Credit Risk: A primary concern of management is to reduce the exposure of credit loss within the portfolio. Management follows established underwriting guidelines, and any exceptions to policy must be approved by a lender with higher authority than the lender originating the loan. The adequacy of the loan loss coverage is reviewed quarterly by the risk management committee of the Board of Directors. This committee meets to discuss, among other matters, potential exposures, historical loss experience, and overall economic conditions. Existing or potential problems are noted and addressed by senior management in order to assess the risk of probable loss or delinquency. A variety of loans are reviewed periodically by an independent firm in order to assure accuracy of the Company's internal risk ratings and compliance with various internal policies and procedures, as well as those set by the regulatory authorities. The Company also employs a Credit Administration Officer whose duties include monitoring and reporting on the status of the loan portfolio including delinquent and non-performing loans.

<PAGE>  54

Specific allocations are made in situations management feels are at a greater risk for loss. A quarterly review of various qualitative factors, including levels of, and trends in, delinquencies and non-accruals and national and local economic trends and conditions, helps to ensure that areas with potential risk are noted and coverage increased or decreased to reflect current trends in delinquencies and non-accruals. Residential mortgage loans make up the largest part of the loan portfolio and have the lowest historical loss ratio helping to alleviate overall risk.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK
The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers and to reduce its own exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit and risk-sharing commitments on certain sold loans. Such instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheet. The contract or notional amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Company has in particular classes of financial instruments.
The Company's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit and financial guarantees written is represented by the contractual notional amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments. For interest rate caps and floors written on adjustable rate loans, the contract or notional amounts do not represent exposure to credit loss. The Company controls the credit risk of their interest rate cap agreements through credit approvals, limits, and monitoring procedures.
The Company generally requires collateral or other security to support financial instruments with credit risk.

EFFECTS OF INFLATION

      Rates of inflation affect the reported financial condition and results of operations of all industries, including the banking industry. The effect of monetary inflation is generally magnified in bank financial and operating statements because, as costs and prices rise, cash and credit demands of individuals and businesses increase, and the purchasing power of net monetary assets declines.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

      A cash dividend of $0.16 per share was paid in each of the four quarters of 2003 with the most recent paid on November 1, 2003 to shareholders of record as of October 15, 2003. These dividends of $0.16 per share for the quarter and $0.64 for the year are equal to the cash dividends paid in 2002 and 2001. A 5% stock dividend was declared in 2002, payable on February 1, 2003 to shareholders of record as of January 15, 2003. As a result of this stock dividend, all per share data for the previous quarters and years have been restated. In December, 2003, the Company declared a $0.17 per share cash dividend, payable February 1, 2004 to shareholders of record as of January 15, 2004, requiring the Company to accrue $644,144 equaling the value of this dividend at that time.

      Stockholders' equity at December 31, 2002, was $25,705,102, with a book value of $6.84 per share. It increased in 2003 through earnings of $3,798,266 and the sale of common stock of $521,059 through our dividend reinvestment program. It decreased through dividends paid totaling $2,379,091, purchases of treasury stock of $8,006 through the stock buyback program and redemption of fractional shares in connection with the 5% stock dividend issued in February 2003 and a valuation adjustment of $478,947 to the valuation allowance of securities. The difference between the dividends mentioned above for 2002 and 2003 resulted in a decrease to stockholder's equity totaling $73,237. As of December 31, 2003, stockholders' equity was $27,085,146 with a book value of $7.15 per share.

      At December 31, 2003, the Company reported that of the 405,000 shares authorized for the stock buyback plan, 152,463 shares have been purchased, leaving 252,537 shares available for repurchase. The repurchase price paid for these shares ranged from $9.75 per share in May of 2000 to $15.688 per share in February of 2003. The last purchase in 2003 was March 19, 2003 in which 500 shares were bought at a price of $15.125 per share.

      The primary source of funds for the Company's payment of dividends to its shareholders is dividends paid to the Company by the Bank. The Bank, as a National Bank, is subject to the dividend restrictions set forth by the Comptroller of the Currency ("OCC"). Under such restrictions, the Bank may not, without the prior approval of the OCC, declare dividends in excess of the sum of the current year's earnings (as defined) plus the retained earnings (as defined) from the prior two years.

      Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of total and Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier 1 capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined). Under current guidelines, banks must maintain a risk-based capital ratio of 8.0%, of which at least 4.0% must be in the form of core capital (as defined). The risk based ratios of the Company and its subsidiaries exceeded regulatory guidelines at December 31, 2003 with reported risk-weighted assets of $176.3 million compared to $168.6 million at December 31, 2002 and total capital of $28.8 million and $26.8 million, respectively. The Company's total risk-based capital to risk weighted assets was 16.32% and 15.91% at December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The Company's Tier 1 capital to risk weighted assets was 15.07% and 14.66% at December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. In addition to risk-based capital requirements, bank holding companies are required to maintain minimum leverage capital ratios of core capital to average assets of $4.0%. As of December 31, 2003, the Company's leverage ratio was 8.05% and as of December 31, 2002 was 7.97%.

      Regulators have also established guidelines for minimum capital ratio requirements that define a bank as well-capitalized under prompt corrective action provisions. These minimums are risk-based capital ratio of 10.0% and Tier 1 capital ratio of 6.0%. As of December 31, 2003, the Company and its Subsidiary were deemed well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. There are no conditions or events since that time that management believes have changed the Company's classification.

      The Company intends to continue the past policy of maintaining a strong capital resource position to support its asset size and level of operations. Consistent with that policy, management will continue to anticipate the Company's future capital needs.

      From time to time the Company may make contributions to the capital of Community National Bank. At present, regulatory authorities have made no demand on the Company to make additional capital contributions.

RECENT ACCOUNTING DEVELOPMENTS

      In 2003, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 149, "Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." The Statement amends and clarifies accounting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133.

      SFAS No. 149 is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003, except as stated below and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. The guidance should be applied prospectively. The provisions of this Statement that relate to SFAS No. 133 Implementation Issues that have been effective for fiscal quarters that began prior to June 15, 2003, should continue to be applied in accordance with their respective effective dates. In addition, certain provisions relating to forward purchases or sales of when-issued securities or other securities that do not yet exist, should be applied to existing contracts as well as new contracts entered into after June 30, 2003. SFAS No. 149 does not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

      In May 2003, FASB issued SFAS No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity." This Statement establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances).

      SFAS No. 150 is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003, except for mandatorily redeemable financial instruments of nonpublic entities. This Statement does not impact the Company's consolidated financial statements as the Company does not have any financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity.

      FASB's Emerging Issues Task Force, in its Issue No. 03-1, has issued new disclosure requirements with respect to investment securities with unrealized losses that have not been classified as other-than-temporary. Companies are required to disclose separately investments that have had continual unrealized losses for twelve months or more, and those that have had continual unrealized losses for less than twelve months. For investments in the former category, a narrative disclosure is required that would allow financial statement users to understand the positive and negative information management considered in reaching the conclusion that the impairments are not other-than-temporary. The new disclosure requirements, which are effective for years ending after December 15, 2003, did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
