                           FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

         Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that are not based on
historical fact may be "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Words such as "believe",
"may", "will", "expect", "estimate", "anticipate", "continue" or similar terms
identify forward-looking statements. A wide variety of factors could cause the
Company's actual results and experiences to differ materially from the results
expressed or implied by the Company's forward-looking statements. Some of the
risks and uncertainties that may affect operations, performance, results of the
Company's business, the interest rate sensitivity of its assets and liabilities,
and the adequacy of its loan loss allowance, include, but are not limited to:
(i) deterioration in local, regional, national or global economic conditions
which could result, among other things, in an increase in loan delinquencies, a
decrease in property values, or a change in the housing turnover rate; (ii)
changes in market interest rates or changes in the speed at which market
interest rates change; (iii) changes in laws and regulations affecting the
financial services industry; (iv) changes in competition; (v) changes in
consumer preferences, (vi) changes in banking technology; (vii) ability to
maintain key members of management, (viii) possible disruptions in the Company's
operations at its banking facilities, and other factors referred to in the
sections of this Quarterly Report entitled "Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations."

         Certain information customarily disclosed by financial institutions,
such as estimates of interest rate sensitivity and the adequacy of the loan loss
allowance, are inherently forward-looking statements because, by their nature,
they represent attempts to estimate what will occur in the future.

         The Company cautions readers not to place undue reliance upon any
forward- looking statement contained in this Quarterly Report. Forward-looking
statements speak only as of the date they were made and the Company assumes no
obligation to update or revise any such statements upon any change in applicable
circumstances.

NOTE 1. General

         Berkshire Bancorp Inc. ("Berkshire" or the "Company"), a Delaware
corporation, is a bank holding company registered under the Bank Holding Company
Act of 1956. Berkshire's principal activity is the ownership and management of
its wholly owned subsidiary, The Berkshire Bank (the "Bank"), a New York State
chartered commercial bank.

         The accompanying financial statements of Berkshire Bancorp Inc. and
Subsidiaries includes the accounts of the parent company, Berkshire Bancorp
Inc., and its wholly-owned subsidiaries: The Berkshire Bank and Greater American
Finance Group, Inc.

         During interim periods, the Company follows the accounting policies set
forth in its Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Readers are encouraged to refer to the Company's Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2001 when reviewing this Form 10-Q. Quarterly
results reported herein are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected
for other quarters.

         In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated
financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
adjustments) considered necessary to present fairly the Company's consolidated
financial position as of March 31, 2002 and December 31, 2001 and the
consolidated results of its operations for the three month periods ended March
31, 2002 and 2001, and its consolidated stockholders' equity for the three
months ended March 31, 2002, and its consolidated cash flows for the three month

         GSB Financial Corporation/Goshen Savings Bank. On March 30, 2001,
Berkshire, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, The Berkshire Bank and Greater
American Finance Group, Inc., completed its merger with GSB Financial
Corporation ("GSB Financial"). Under the terms of the merger, 978,032 shares of
GSB Financial common stock were converted into 589,460 shares of Berkshire
common stock, and 974,338 shares of GSB Financial common stock were purchased
for $20.75 per share, totaling approximately $20.2 million. This transaction was

approximately $7.5 million of goodwill, which, through December 31, 2001, has

NOTE 3.  Earnings Per Share

         Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing income available to
common stockholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding, excluding
stock options from the calculation. In calculating diluted earnings per share,
the dilutive effect of stock options is calculated using the average market
price for the Company's common stock during the period. The following table
presents the calculation of earnings per share for the periods indicated:

         Options to purchase 115,375 shares and 45,375 shares of common stock
for $30.00 to $38.00 per share were outstanding during the three month periods
ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. These options were not included in
the computation of diluted earnings per share because the option exercise price
was greater than the average market price for the Company's common stock during
this period.

NOTE 8.  New Accounting Pronouncement

Goodwill.  Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 141, Business
Combinations ("SFAS No. 141"), and SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Intangible Assets
("SFAS No. 142") were issued in June 2001.  These statements resulted in
significant modifications relative to the Company's accounting for goodwill and
other intangible assets.  SFAS No. 142 modifies the accounting for all purchased
goodwill and intangible assets.  SFAS No. 142 includes requirements to test
goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets for impairment rather than
amortize them.  The Company has adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 142 as of
January 1, 2002.  Therefore, acquired goodwill is no longer amortized.  The
Company is in the process of completing the first step of the goodwill
transitional impairment test, as of January 1, 2002.  Management does not
anticipate this test to result in an impairment loss.

million, or $.55 per share, as compared to $406,000, or $.21 per share, for the
three-month period ended March 31, 2001. On January 1, 2002, the Company adopted
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 142, thereby
eliminating annual goodwill amortization expense of approximately $1.0 million.
Had SFAS No. 142 been in effect on January 1, 2001, net income for the first
quarter of fiscal 2001 would have been $565,000, or $.29 per share. (See Note
8.)

Net Interest Income. The Company's primary source of revenue is net interest
income, or the difference between interest income on earning assets and interest
expense on interest-bearing liabilities. For the quarter ended March 31, 2002,
net interest income increased by $2.25 million, or 111.37%, to $4.27 million,
from $2.02 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2001. The increase in net
interest income was the result of the growth in average interest-earning assets
of $299.12 million, partially offset by the growth in average interest-bearing
liabilities of $281.64 million. Such increases in interest-earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities were largely due to the acquisition of GSB
Financial Corp. on March 30, 2001.

Net interest rate spread, the difference between the average yield on interest-
earning assets and the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities, improved to
2.83% in 2002 from 1.91% in 2001. The increase in net interest-rate spread
resulted from a 2.47% decrease in the average cost of interest-bearing
liabilities to 3.00% for the quarter ended March 31, 2002, from 5.47% for the
quarter ended March 31, 2001, partially offset by a decrease of 1.55% in the
average yield on interest-earning assets to 5.83% in 2002, from 7.38% in 2001.

Net Interest Margin. Net interest margin, or annualized net interest income as a
percentage of average interest-earning assets, declined by 58 basis points to
3.40% for the first quarter of 2002 from 3.98% for the same period in 2001. The
decrease in net interest margin was due, in part, to the acquisition of GSB
Financial whose loan portfolio consists primarily of 1-4 family mortgage loans
with annualized yields less than previously earned by Berkshire and, in part, by
the sharp decline in interest rates from a prime rate of 8.00% at March 31, 2001
to a prime rate of 4.75% at March 31, 2002. Lower interest rates encourage
homeowners to refinance more costly mortgage loans and reduces the yields on
investment securities purchased by the Bank.

         For the three-month period ended March 31, 2002, the average balances
of loans, investment securities and total interest-earning assets increased by
approximately 232%, 129% and 148%, respectively, from the three-month period
ended March 31, 2001. However, the average yields on loans, investment
securities and total interest-earning assets decreased by approximately 20%, 31%
and 21%, respectively, during the same periods resulting in lower net interest
margin.

Interest Income. Total interest income for the three-month period ended March
31, 2002 increased by $3.59 million, or 96.25%, to $7.32 million, from $3.73
million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2001. The increase was the
result of a $299.12 million increase in average interest-earning assets to
$501.74 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2001, from $202.62 million for
the quarter ended March 31, 2001, partially offset by a decrease in average
yield to 5.83% in 2002 from 7.38% in 2001. Interest income on loans and
investment securities in the 2002 quarter increased to $4.54 million and $2.75
million, respectively, from $1.70 million and $1.73 million, respectively, in
the 2001 quarter.

Interest Expense. Total interest expense for the three-month period ended March
31, 2002 increased by $1.34 million, or 78.36%, to $3.05 million, from $1.71
million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2001. The increase was the
result of a $281.64 million increase in average interest-bearing liabilities to
$406.91 million for the 2002 quarter, from $125.26 million for the 2001 quarter,
partially offset by the decrease in the average rate paid on interest-bearing
liabilities to 3.00% in 2002, from 5.47% in 2001. Average balances of interest
bearing deposits, time deposits and other borrowings were $108.66 million,
$218.02 million and $80.24 million, respectively, in the 2002 quarter, compared
to $27.31 million, $81.94 million and $16.02 million, respectively, in the 2001
quarter. The increase in deposits accounts was primarily due to the GSB
Financial acquisition, whereas the increase in other borrowings was attributable
to our strategy of employing excess capital to fund the growth of our business.

         Interest expense on interest-bearing deposits, time deposits and other
borrowings was $379,000, $2.0 million and $672,000, respectively, in the 2002
quarter, compared to $231,000, $1.27 million and $216,000, respectively, in the
2001 quarter.

Non-Interest Income. Non-interest income consists primarily of realized gains on
sales of marketable securities, loan sales and service fee income. For the three
months ended March 31, 2002, non-interest income was $470,000 as compared to
$168,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2001.

Non-Interest Expense. Non-interest expense includes salaries and employee
benefits, occupancy and equipment expenses, legal and professional fees and
other operating expenses associated with the day-to-day operations of the
Company. Total non-interest expense for the three-month period ended March 31,
2002 increased by $1.13 million, or approximately 89%, to $2.40 million from
$1.27 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2001. The increase was
due primarily to increases of $686,000 for salaries and employee benefits,
$188,000 for occupancy expenses and $347,000 for various other items.

Provision for Income Tax. During the first quarter of 2002, the Company recorded
income tax expense of $980,000 compared to $501,000 for the first quarter of
2001. The tax provisions for federal, state and local taxes recorded for 2002
and 2001 represent effective tax rates of 42.87% and 55.24%, respectively. The
decrease in the effective rate is due to the elimination of the non-deductible
amortization expense of goodwill.

ITEM 3 - QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

Interest Rate Risk. Fluctuations in market interest rates can have a material
effect on the Company's net interest income because the yields earned on loans
and investments may not adjust to market rates of interest with the same
frequency, or with the same speed, as the rates paid by the Bank on its
deposits.

         Most of the Bank's deposits are either interest-bearing demand deposits
or short term certificates of deposit and other interest-bearing deposits with
interest rates that fluctuate as market rates change. Management of the Bank
seeks to reduce the risk of interest rate fluctuations by concentrating on loans
and securities investments with either short terms to maturity or with
adjustable rates or other features that cause yields to adjust based upon
interest rate fluctuations. In addition, to cushion itself against the potential
adverse effects of a substantial and sustained increase in market interest
rates, the Bank has purchased off balance sheet interest rate cap contracts
which generally provide that the Bank will be entitled to receive payments from
the other party to the contract if interest rates exceed specified levels. These
contracts are entered into with major financial institutions.

         The Company seeks to maximize its net interest margin within an
acceptable level of interest rate risk. Interest rate risk can be defined as the
amount of the forecasted net interest income that may be gained or lost due to
favorable or unfavorable movements in interest rates. Interest rate risk, or
sensitivity, arises when the maturity or repricing characteristics of assets
differ significantly from the maturity or repricing characteristics of
liabilities.

         In the banking industry, a traditional measure of interest rate
sensitivity is known as "gap" analysis, which measures the cumulative
differences between the amounts of assets and liabilities maturing or repricing
at various time intervals. The following table sets forth the Company's interest
rate repricing gaps for selected maturity periods:

Provision for Loan Losses. The Company maintains an allowance for loan losses at
a level deemed sufficient to absorb losses, which are inherent in the loan
portfolio at each balance sheet date. Management reviews the adequacy of the
allowance on at least a quarterly basis to ensure that the provision for loan
losses has been charged against earnings in an amount necessary to maintain the
allowance at a level that is appropriate based on management's assessment of
probable estimated losses. The Company's methodology for assessing the
appropriateness of the allowance for loan losses consists of several key
elements. These elements include a specific allowance for loan watch list
classified loans, an allowance based on historical trends, an additional
allowance for special circumstances, and an unallocated portion. The Company
consistently applies the following comprehensive methodology.

         The allowance for loan watch list classified loans addresses those
loans maintained on the Company's loan watch list, which are assigned a rating
of substandard, doubtful, or loss. Substandard loans are those with a
well-defined weakness or a weakness, which jeopardizes the repayment of the
debt. A loan may be classified as substandard as a result of impairment of the
borrower's financial condition and repayment capacity. Loans for which repayment
plans have not been met or collateral equity margins do not protect the Company
may also be classified as substandard. Doubtful loans have the characteristics
of substandard loans with the added characteristic that collection or
liquidation in full, on the basis of presently existing facts and conditions, is
highly improbable. Although the possibility of loss is extremely high for
doubtful loans, the classification of loss is deferred until pending factors,
which might improve the loan, have been determined. Loans rated as doubtful in
whole or in part are placed in nonaccrual status. Loans, which are classified as
loss, are considered uncollectible and are charged to the allowance for loan
losses. There were no loans classified as of March 31, 2002.

         Loans on the loan watch list may also be impaired loans, which are
defined as nonaccrual loans or troubled debt restructurings, which are not in
compliance with their restructured terms. Each of the classified loans on the
loan watch list is individually analyzed to determine the level of the potential
loss in the loan under the current circumstances. The specific reserve
established for these criticized and impaired loans is based on careful analysis
of the loan's performance, the related collateral value, cash flow
considerations and the financial capability of any guarantor. The allowance for
loan watch list classified loans is equal to the total amount of potential
unconfirmed losses for the individual classified loans on the watch list. Loan
watch list loans are managed and monitored by assigned Senior Management.

         The allowance based on historical trends uses charge-off experience of
the Company to estimate potential unconfirmed losses in the balances of the loan
and lease portfolios. The historical loss experience percentage is based on the
charge-off history. Historical loss experience percentages are applied to all
non-classified loans to obtain the portion of the allowance for loan losses
which is based on historical trends. Before applying the historical loss
experience percentages, loan balances are reduced by the portion of the loan
balances, which are subject to guarantee, by a government agency. Loan balances
are also adjusted for unearned discount on installment loans.

         The Company also maintains an unallocated allowance. The unallocated
allowance is used to cover any factors or conditions, which may cause a
potential loan loss but are not specifically identifiable. It is prudent to
maintain an unallocated portion of the allowance because no matter how detailed
an analysis of potential loan losses is performed these estimates by definition
lack precision. Management must make estimates using assumptions and
information, which is often subjective and changing rapidly.



                                       20




<PAGE>



         Since all identified losses are immediately charged off, no portion of
the allowance for loan losses is restricted to any individual loan or groups of
loans, and the entire allowance is available to absorb any and all loan losses.

         A loan is placed in a nonaccrual status at the time when ultimate
collectibility of principal or interest, wholly or partially, is in doubt. Past
due loans are those loans which were contractually past due 90 days or more as
to interest or principal payments but are well secured and in the process of
collection. Renegotiated loans are those loans which terms have been
renegotiated to provide a reduction or deferral of principal or interest as a
result of the deteriorating financial position of the borrower.

         At March 31, 2002 and 2001, the Company did not have any non-accrual or
non-performing loans. Loans past due more than 90 days and still accruing
interest were $75,000 and $0 at March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Based
upon management's evaluations of the overall analysis of the Bank's allowance
for loan losses and the year over year increase in total loans to $260.55
million (including $134.10 million acquired in the merger with GSB Financial)
from $76.45 million, the provision for the three months ended March 31, 2001 was
increased to $2.06 million (including $691,000 acquired in the merger with GSB
Financial) from $1.13 million in the year ago period.

         The decrease in the allowance as a percentage of loans is due to the
acquisition of Goshen on March 30, 2001. Goshen's loan portfolio is primarily
1-4 family mortgage loans which traditionally have a lower charge off rate.

         Management believes that the allowance for loan losses and
nonperforming loans remained safely within acceptable levels.

         The following table sets forth information with respect to activity in
the Company's allowance for loan losses during the periods indicated (dollars in
thousands, except percentages):

Loan Portfolio.

Loan Portfolio Composition. The Company's loans consist primarily of mortgage
loans secured by residential and non-residential properties as well as
commercial loans which are either unsecured or secured by personal property
collateral. Most of the Company's commercial loans are either made to
individuals or personally guaranteed by the principals of the business to which
the loan is made. At March 31, 2002, the Company had total loans of $260.55
million and an allowance for loan losses of $2.06 million. From time to time,
the Bank may originate residential mortgage loans and then sell them on the
secondary market, normally recognizing fee income in connection with the sale.

         The following tables set forth information concerning the Company's
loan portfolio by type of loan at the dates indicated:

         It is the Bank's policy to discontinue accruing interest on a loan when
it is 90 days past due or if management believes that continued interest
accruals are unjustified. The Bank may continue interest accruals if a loan is
more than 90 days past due if the Bank determines that the nature of the
delinquency and the collateral are such that collection of the principal and
interest on the loan in full is reasonably assured. When the accrual of interest
is discontinued, all accrued but unpaid interest is charged against current
period income. Once the accrual of interest is discontinued, the Bank records
interest as and when received until the loan is restored to accruing status. If
the Bank determines that collection of the loan in full is in reasonable doubt,
then amounts received are recorded as a reduction of principal until the loan is
returned to accruing status.

         At March 31, 2002 and 2001, the Company did not have any non-accrual or
non-performing loans. Loans past due more than 90 days and still accruing
interest were $75,000 and $0 at March 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

         Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital
adequacy require the Company and The Berkshire Bank to maintain minimum amounts
and ratios of total and Tier I capital (as defined in the regulations) to
risk-weighted assets (as defined), and Tier I capital (as defined) to average
assets (as defined). As of March 31, 2002, the most recent notification from the
FDIC categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for
prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, the Bank must
maintain certain Total risk-based, Tier I risk-based, and Tier I leverage
ratios. There are no conditions or events since the notification that management
believes have changed the Bank's category.

Liquidity

         The management of the Company's liquidity focuses on ensuring that
sufficient funds are available to meet loan funding commitments, withdrawals
from deposit accounts, the repayment of borrowed funds, and ensuring that the
Bank and the Company comply with regulatory liquidity requirements. Liquidity
needs of The Berkshire Bank have historically been met by deposits, investments
in federal funds sold, principal and interest payments on loans, and maturities
of investment securities.

         For the parent company, Berkshire Bancorp Inc., liquidity means having
cash available to fund operating expenses and to pay shareholder dividends, when
and if declared by Berkshire's Board of Directors. The ability of Berkshire to
fund its operations and to pay dividends is not dependent upon the receipt of
dividends from The Berkshire Bank. At March 31, 2002, Berkshire had cash and
cash equivalents of $13.7 million and investment securities available for sale
of $5.6 million.


                                       23




<PAGE>



         The Company maintains financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk
in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers.
These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and stand-by
letters of credit.

         At March 31, 2002, the Company had outstanding commitments of
approximately $8.0 million. These commitments include $6.4 million that mature
or renew within one year, $1.6 million that mature or renew after one year and
within three years, $29,000 that mature or renew after three years and within
five years and $0 commitments that mature or renew after five years.

         The Company currently does not have any unconsolidated subsidiaries or
special purpose entities.

         As more fully describe in Note 2, as of the close of business on March
30, 2001, GSB Financial was merged with and into the Company and Goshen Savings
Bank was merged with and into The Berkshire Bank. The Company utilized
approximately $20.2 million of its cash on hand to fund the cash component of
the transaction.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

         The Company's financial statements measure financial position and
operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering the changes
in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. The impact
of inflation is reflected in the increasing cost of the Company's operations.
The assets and liabilities of the Company are largely monetary. As a result,
interest rates have a greater impact on the Company's performance than do the
effects of general levels of inflation. In addition, interest rates do not
necessarily move in the direction, or to the same extent as the price of goods
and services. However, in general, high inflation rates are accompanied by
higher interest rates, and vice versa.
