Mystic Financial, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Part I - Financial Information
Item 1 - Financial Statements
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2002

1) Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
The unaudited consolidated interim financial statements of Mystic
Financial, Inc. and subsidiary ("Mystic" or the "Company") presented herein
should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements
for the year ended June 30, 2002, included in the Annual Report on Form 10-
K of Mystic Financial, Inc., the holding company for Medford Co-operative
Bank (the "Bank").

The significant accounting policies followed by the Company for interim
financial reporting are consistent with the accounting policies followed
for annual financial reporting. The unaudited consolidated interim
financial statements herein have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q
and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of
the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements.

In the opinion of management, the consolidated 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, 2002, the Bank had outstanding commitments to originate
loans amounting to approximately $20.4 million, and unadvanced funds on
construction loans, lines of credit and equity loans amounting to
approximately $11.3, $11.4 and $5.4 million, respectively. The Bank has
sold loans with recourse in the amount of $4.0 million. In connection with
these loans, there is an off-balance sheet contingent liability in the
amount of $65,000 at September 30, 2002.

3) Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share represents income available to common stock
divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during
the period. In calculating earnings per share, the number of shares of
common stock outstanding is reduced by the number of shares held by the
Company's Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the "ESOP") and the Company's 1999
Recognition and Retention Plan (the "RRP") that have not been allocated or
are not committed for release to participants' individual accounts.
Diluted earnings per share reflects additional common shares that would
have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued,
as well as any adjustment to income that would result from the assumed
conversion. Potential common shares that may be issued by the Company
relate solely to outstanding stock options and unearned RRP shares and are
determined using the treasury stock method.

4) Book Value Per Share
Book value per share was $17.79 as of September 30, 2002 and $16.80 as of
September 30, 2001. In calculating book value per share, the number of
shares of common stock outstanding is reduced by the number of shares held
by the ESOP that have not been allocated or are not committed to be
released to participants' individual accounts, unearned RRP shares and
treasury stock. There were 1,372,386 and 1,594,587 shares of common stock
outstanding as of September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively, for purposes
of calculating the Company's book value per share.

Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations
September 30, 2002

Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
The following discussion compares the financial condition of Mystic
Financial, Inc. ("Mystic" or the "Company") and its wholly owned
subsidiary, Medford Co-operative Bank (the "Bank"), at September 30, 2002
to June 30, 2002, and the results of operations for the three months ended
September 30, 2002, compared to the same period in 2001. This discussion
and analysis should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements and related notes thereto included within this report.

Forward-looking Statements
The Company and the Bank may from time to time make written or oral
"forward-looking statements." These forward-looking statements may be
contained in this quarterly filing with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "SEC"), the Annual Report to Shareholders, other filings
with the SEC, and in other communications by the Company and the Bank,
which are made in good faith pursuant to the "safe harbor" provisions of
the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The words "may,"
"could," "should," "would," "believe," "anticipate," "estimate," "expect,"
"intend," "plan" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-
looking statements.

Forward-looking statements include statements with respect to the Company's
beliefs, plans, objectives, goals, expectations, anticipations, estimates
and intentions, that are subject to significant risks and uncertainties.
The following factors, many of which are subject to change based on various
other factors beyond the Company's control, and other factors discussed in
this Form 10-Q, as well as other factors identified in the Company's
filings with the SEC and those presented elsewhere by management from time
to time, could cause its financial performance to differ materially from
the plans, objectives, expectations, estimates and intentions expressed in
such forward-looking statements:

* the strength of the United States economy in general and the
strength of the local economies in which the Company and the Bank
conduct operations;
* the effects of, and changes in, trade, monetary and fiscal policies
and laws, including interest rate policies of the Federal Reserve
Board;
* inflation, interest rate, market and monetary fluctuations;
* the timely development of and acceptance of new products and services
and the perceived overall value of these products and services by
users, including the features, pricing and quality compared to
competitors' products and services;
* the willingness of users to substitute competitors' products and
services for the Company's and the Bank's products and services;
* the Company's and the Bank's success in gaining regulatory approval
of their products and services, when required;
* the impact of changes in financial services' laws and regulations
(including laws concerning taxes, banking, securities and insurance);


10


Mystic Financial, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Part I - Financial Information
Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations
September 30, 2002

* the impact of technological changes;
* acquisitions;
* changes in consumer spending and saving habits; and
* the Company's and the Bank's success at managing the risks involved
in their business.

This list of important factors is not exclusive. The Company or the Bank
does not undertake to update any forward-looking statement, whether written
or oral, that may be made from time to time by or on behalf of the Company
or the Bank.

General
The Bank completed its conversion from a mutual to a stock institution and
was simultaneously acquired by the Company on January 8, 1998. The
Company's principal business activity consists of the ownership of the
Bank. The Company also invests in short-term investment grade marketable
securities and other liquid investments.

The Bank is a Massachusetts chartered stock co-operative bank founded in
1886 with three full-service offices in Medford, Massachusetts and other
full-service offices in Lexington, Arlington and Bedford, Massachusetts.
The business of the Bank consists of attracting deposits from the general
public and using these funds to originate various types of loans primarily
in eastern Middlesex County, Massachusetts, including mortgage loans
secured by one- to four-family residences, commercial loans secured by
general business assets and commercial real estate loans secured by
commercial property, and to invest in U.S. Government and Federal Agency
and other securities. To a lesser extent, the Bank engages in various
forms of consumer and home equity lending.

The Bank has one active subsidiary, Mystic Securities Corporation, which
was established for the sole purpose of acquiring and holding investment
securities. All securities held by Mystic Securities Corporation are
investments which are permissible for banks to hold under Massachusetts
law.

The Company's profitability depends primarily on its net interest income,
which is the difference between the interest income it earns on its loans
and investment portfolio and its cost of funds, which consists mainly of
interest paid on deposits and on borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank
of Boston. Net interest income is affected by the relative amounts of
interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and the interest
rates earned or paid on these balances. When interest-earning assets
approximate or exceed interest-bearing liabilities, any positive interest
rate spread will generate net interest income.

The level of other income and operating expenses also affects the Company's
profitability. Other income consists primarily of service fees, loan
servicing and other loan fees. Operating expenses consist of salaries and
benefits, occupancy related expenses, and other general operating expenses.

Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Comparison of Financial Condition at September 30, 2002 and June 30, 2002
The Company's total assets amounted to $377.6 million at September 30, 2002
compared to $356.7 million at June 30, 2002, an increase of $20.8 million
or 5.8%. The increase in total assets is principally due to an increase in
cash and cash equivalents and continued loan growth.

Cash and cash equivalents increased to $45.2 million at September 30, 2002
from $34.6 million at June 30, 2002, an increase of $10.6 million or 30.6%.
The increase in cash and cash equivalents was primarily due to an increase
in total deposits. Securities decreased to $64.4 million at September 30,
2002 from $65.9 million at June 30, 2002.


14


Net loans increased by $10.5 million or 4.3% to $254.2 million or 67.3% of
total assets at September 30, 2002 as compared to $243.7 million or 68.3%
of total assets at June 30, 2002 as the Company continued its emphasis on
originating and retaining residential mortgage loans and commercial and
commercial real estate loans.

Total deposits increased by $20.1 million to $287.5 million at September
30, 2002 from $267.4 million at June 30, 2002 reflecting increases in all
deposit categories. Certificates of deposit increased by $6.2 million to
$130.2 million at September 30, 2002 from $124.0 million at June 30, 2002.
Money market accounts increased by $9.0 million to $30.4 million at
September 30, 2002 from $21.5 million at June 30, 2002. Demand deposits
increased by $3.2 million to $23.0 million at September 30, 2002 from $19.9
million at June 30, 2002. Industry consolidation and competitive rates and
products accounted for the increases.

Stockholders' equity increased by $490,000 to $24.4 million at September
30, 2002 from $23.9 million at June 30, 2002 as a result of an increase in
the net unrealized gain on securities available for sale of $22,000, net
income of $438,000, a reduction in unearned RRP stock of $50,000, and a
reduction in unearned ESOP shares of $98,000, offset by dividends paid of
$118,000.

Comparison of the Operating Results for the Three Months Ended September
30, 2002 and 2001
Net Income. Net income was $438,000 for the three months ended September
30, 2002, compared to $416,000 for the three months ended September 30,
2001. Return on average assets was .50% for the three months ended
September 30, 2002, compared to .57% for the three months ended September
30, 2001. Return on average equity was 7.24% for the three months ended
September 30, 2002, compared to 6.05% for the three months ended September
30, 2001.

The increase in income before income taxes for the three months ended
September 30, 2002 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2001
was attributable to an increase in total interest and dividend income of
$271,000 and an increase in other income of $162,000, offset by an increase
in total interest expense of $23,000 and an increase in operating expenses
of $383,000.

Interest and Dividend Income. Total interest and dividend income increased
by $271,000 or 5.4% to $5.3 million for the three months ended September
30, 2002 from $5.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001.
The increase in interest income was a result of a higher level of loans and
securities resulting from general asset growth, partially offset by a
decrease in the average yield on interest-earning assets caused by
generally declining interest rates. The average balance of net loans for
the three months ended September 30, 2002 was $247.1 million compared to
$218.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001. The average
yield on net loans was 7.11% for the three months ended September 30, 2002
compared to 7.83% for the three months ended September 30, 2001.

Mystic Financial, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations
September 30, 2002

The average balance of securities for the three months ended September 30,
2002 was $66.5 million compared to $37.8 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2001. This increase was due to a higher volume of loan sales
and refinances. The average yield on securities was 4.57% for the three
months ended September 30, 2002 compared to 5.20% for the three months
ended September 30, 2001. The average balance of other earning assets for
the three months ended September 30, 2002 was $23.3 million compared to
$23.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001. The average
yield on other earning assets was 1.91% for the three months ended
September 30, 2002 compared to 3.65% for the three months ended September
30, 2001. The average yield on other earning assets declined because of
the short-term repricing intervals of these assets combined with several
decreases in short-term interest rates made by the Federal Reserve Bank.

Interest Expense. Total interest expense increased by $23,000 or 0.9% to
$2,647,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2002 from $2,624,000
for the three months ended September 30, 2001. Average interest-bearing
deposits increased by $41.0 million or 20.2% to $244.1 million for the
three months ended September 30, 2002. Average borrowings increased by
$13.5 million to $58.1 million for the three months ended September 30,
2002 from $44.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001. The
average rate on interest-bearing deposits decreased 87 basis points to
2.94% for the three months ended September 30, 2002 from 3.81% for the
three months ended September 30, 2001, while the average rate on borrowed
funds decreased 79 basis points to 5.19% from 5.98% during the same period.
Interest expense on subordinated debt for the three months ended September
30, 2002 was $77,000 as compared to $0 for the three months ended September
30, 2001. Average subordinated debt for the three months ended September
30, 2002 was $5 million with an average rate of 6.03%. The Company did not
have any subordinated debt during the comparable 2001 period.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income for the three months ended
September 30, 2002 was $2.6 million as compared to $2.4 million for the
three months ended September 30, 2001. The $248,000 increase can be
attributed to a combination of the $271,000 increase in interest and
dividend income, offset by the $23,000 increase in interest expense on
deposits, borrowed funds and subordinated debt. The average yield on
interest earning assets decreased 87 basis points to 6.25% for the three
months ended September 30, 2002 from 7.12% for the three months ended
September 30, 2001, while the average cost on interest-bearing liabilities
decreased by 78 basis points to 3.42% for the three months ended September
30, 2002 from 4.20% for the three months ended September 30, 2001. As a
result, the interest rate spread decreased to 2.83% for the three months
ended September 30, 2002 from 2.92% for the three months ended September
30, 2001.

Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for loan losses for the three
months ended September 30, 2002 was $75,000, compared to $75,000 for the
three months ended September 30, 2001. At September 30, 2002, the balance
of the allowance for loan losses was $2.1 million or .84% of net loans. At
September 30, 2001, the balance of the allowance for loan losses was $1.9
million or .85% of net loans.

Other Income. Other income was $416,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 2002 compared to $254,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 2001. Other income increased $162,000, or 63.8%, which is
primarily the result of a $120,000 increase in gains on the sale of loans
into the secondary market. The increased gains on loan sales reflects
increased originations of fixed-rate residential mortgage loans as
borrowers refinanced these loans in order to take advantage of low interest
rates. The Company sells substantially all of the fixed-rate residential
real estate loans it originates into the secondary market in order to
reduce interest rate risk.

Operating Expenses. Operating expenses increased by $383,000 or 20.6% to
$2.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2002 from $1.9
million for the three months ended September 30, 2001. Salaries and
employee benefits increased by $268,000, occupancy and equipment expenses
increased by $60,000, data processing expenses increased by $6,000 and
advertising expenses increased by $36,000.

Asset/Liability Management
A principal operating objective of the Company is to produce stable
earnings by achieving a favorable interest rate spread that can be
sustained during fluctuations in prevailing interest rates. Since the
Company's principal interest-earning assets have longer terms to maturity
than its primary source of funds, i.e. deposit liabilities, increases in
general interest rates will generally result in an increase in the
Company's cost of funds before the yield on its asset portfolio adjusts
upward. Banking institutions have generally sought to reduce their
exposure to adverse changes in interest rates by attempting to achieve a
closer match between the periods in which their interest-bearing
liabilities and interest-earning assets can be expected to reprice through
the origination of adjustable-rate mortgages and loans with shorter terms
and the purchase of other shorter term interest-earning assets.

The term "interest rate sensitivity" refers to those assets and
liabilities, which mature and reprice periodically in response to
fluctuations in market rates and yields. Thrift institutions have
historically operated in a mismatched position with interest-sensitive
liabilities exceeding interest-sensitive assets in the short-term time
periods. As noted above, one of the principal goals of the Bank's
asset/liability program is to more closely match the interest rate
sensitivity characteristics of the asset and liability portfolios.

In order to properly manage interest rate risk, the Board of Directors has
established an Asset/Liability Management Committee ("ALCO") made up of
members of management to monitor the difference between the Company's
maturing and repricing assets and liabilities and to develop and implement
strategies to decrease the "negative gap" between the two. The primary
responsibilities of the committee are to assess the Company's
asset/liability mix, recommend strategies to the Board that will enhance
income while managing the Company's vulnerability to changes in interest
rates and report to the Board the results of the strategies used.

Mystic Financial, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations
September 30, 2002

Since the early 1980s, the Bank has stressed the origination of adjustable-
rate residential mortgage loans and adjustable-rate home equity loans.
Historically, the Bank has attempted to sell fixed-rate loans with terms in
excess of 15 years. However, following the conversion, the Bank has
retained a greater portion of its fixed-rate loans. A substantial portion
of the fixed-rate loans retained in portfolio has been funded with
borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston (the "FHLB"). Since
1995, the Bank has also emphasized commercial loans with short-term
maturities or repricing intervals as well as commercial real estate
mortgages with short-term repricing intervals. In addition, the Company
has used borrowings from the FHLB to fund the maturity or repricing
interval of certain commercial real estate mortgages.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's primary sources of funds consist of deposits, borrowings,
repayment and prepayment of loans, sales and participations of loans,
maturities of securities and interest-bearing deposits, and funds provided
from operations. While scheduled repayments of loans and maturities of
securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan
prepayments are greatly influenced by the general level of interest rates,
economic conditions, and competition. The Company uses its liquidity
resources primarily to fund existing and future loan commitments, to fund
net deposit outflows, to invest in other interest-earning assets, to
maintain liquidity, and to meet operating expenses.

The Company is required to maintain adequate levels of liquid assets. This
requirement, which may be varied depending upon economic conditions and
deposit flows, is based upon a percentage of deposits and short-term
borrowings. The Company has historically maintained a level of liquid
assets in excess of regulatory requirements. The Company's liquidity ratio
at September 30, 2002 was 88.7%, using the short-term assets to short-term
liabilities formula defined under the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation's Uniform Bank Performance Reports.

A major portion of the Company's liquidity consists of cash and cash
equivalents, short-term U.S. Government and federal agency obligations, and
corporate bonds. The level of these assets is dependent upon the Company's
operating, investing, lending and financing activities during any given
period.

Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term function of management.
If the Company requires funds beyond its ability to generate them
internally, the Company believes it could borrow additional funds from the
FHLB. At September 30, 2002, the Company had outstanding borrowings of
$58.1 million and an available line of credit of $3.5 million from the
FHLB.

Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations
September 30, 2002

At September 30, 2002, the Company had $20 million in outstanding
commitments to originate loans. The Company anticipates that it will have
sufficient funds available to meet its current loan origination
commitments. Certificates of deposit which are scheduled to mature in one
year or less totaled $65.7 million at September 30, 2002. Based upon
historical experience, management believes that a significant portion of
such deposits will remain with the Bank.

At September 30, 2002, the Company and the Bank exceeded all of their
regulatory capital requirements.
