PEOPLE'S SAVINGS FINANCIAL CORP. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 1996 Note A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles 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 generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 1996. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995. Certain 1995 amounts have been reclassified to conform with the 1996 presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on net income. Note B - CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES On January 1, 1996, the Corporation adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of." The adoption of this accounting standard had no impact on the Corporation's financial condition or results of operations because, in the opinion of management, it did not hold any long- lived assets that were impaired. On January 1, 1996, the Corporation adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 122 "Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights - an amendment of FASB Statement No. 65." The adoption of this accounting standard had an immaterial impact on the Corporation's financial condition and results of operations because it only originated for sale $2.37 million of loans during the nine month period ended September 30, 1996 resulting in capitalized originated loan servicing rights of approximately $20,000.

The adequacy of the allowance is determined by management's evaluation of known and inherent risks in the loan portfolio and prevailing economic conditions and the Bank's loss experience. The allowance is increased by provisions for loan losses charged against income. Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. General This section presents management's discussion and analysis of the consolidated results of operations for People's Savings Financial Corp. (the "Corporation") and The People's Savings Bank of New Britain (the "Bank") for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, and its financial condition as of September 30, 1996. In order to understand this section in context, it should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. Financial Condition At September 30, 1996 total assets were $459.97 million, an increase of $49.81 million (or 12.1%) from total assets of $410.16 million at December 31, 1995. The increase in assets was primarily due to an increase in investment securities available for sale and an increase in loans, partially offset by a decrease in cash and cash equivalents and investment securities held to maturity. The increase in total assets was funded by borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank, and increases in repurchase agreements and total deposits. The increase in total deposits was primarily due to growth in the Bank's newer branches. During the nine month period ended September 30, 1996, 77,500 shares of treasury stock were purchased at a cost of $1.59 million. The Corporation had unrealized losses on securities available for sale, net of taxes, of $.07 million at September 30, 1996, a decrease of $.26 million from a gain of $.19 million at December 31, 1995. CAPITAL The Corporation's and the Bank's Tier 1 leverage capital ratios at September 30, 1996 were 10.05% and 9.73% respectively. The Corporation's and the Bank's total risk-based capital ratios at September 30, 1996 were 19.58% and 18.98% respectively. The Corporation's and the Bank's Tier 1 risk-based capital ratios at September 30, 1996 were 18.88% and 18.28%, respectively. All of the Corporation's and the Bank's ratios as of September 30, 1996 were well above applicable minimums. As of September 30, 1996, the Corporation and the Bank fall within the highest capital category of "well capitalized" under the rules of the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Net income for the three month period ended September 30, 1996 was $1,021,000, an increase of $60,000 as compared to $961,000 for the comparable period in 1995. Net interest income for the three month period ended September 30, 1996 increased by $181,000 primarily due to interest income increasing greater on loans and investments than the increase in interest expense on deposits and borrowings. The increase in net income for the three month period ended September 30, 1996 was also due to increased trust fees, a decrease in other real estate expense, and gains on loans held for sale, offset by increases in the provision for loan losses, salaries and employee benefits, and other operating expenses. The increase in salaries and benefit expense relate to our recent expansion efforts. Net income for the nine month period ended September 30, 1996 was $3,118,000, an increase of $614,000 or 24.5%, from net income of $2,504,000 for the nine month period ended September 30, 1995. The increase in net income for the nine month period ended September 30, 1996 was due primarily to the Bank's settlement of a tax claim against the State of Connecticut which added approximately $304,000 or $.16 per share to net income. The increase in net income was also due to increased net interest income, trust fees, and lower expenses related to FDIC deposit insurance and other real estate expenses. These increases were partially offset by an increase in the provision for loan losses, increases in salaries and benefits, and other operating expenses relating to our expansion efforts.

Interest income for the nine month period ended September 30, 1996 increased when compared to the same period last year primarily due to increased volume on loans, increased yield on investments, and to a lesser extent increased volume of investments and increased yield on loans. The comparison of interest expense for the three month period ended September 30, 1996 compared to the same period in 1995 shows that interest expense increased primarily due to increased volume of borrowings and increased volume of deposits, and to a lesser extent increased rates on borrowings, partially offset by a slight decrease in the rate on deposits. Interest expense for the nine month period ended September 30, 1996 increased when compared to the same period last year primarily due to increased rate and volume of deposits and to a lesser extent increased volume and rate on borrowings. This activity is consistent with the changes in the Corporation's balance sheet and changes in interest rates from one year ago. During the year the Bank has taken advantage of two arbitrage opportunities. In the first the Bank borrowed approximately $20 million, at a rate of 6.31% and purchased approximately $20 million in mortgage-backed securities with coupon rates of 8%. In the second the Bank borrowed approximately $20 million, at a rate of 5.69%, and purchased approximately $20 million in mortgage-backed securities with coupon rates of 7.10%. Net interest rate spreads decreased during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1996 when compared to the same periods last year. The decrease during the three month period was due to a decrease in the yield on earning assets and an increase in the Bank's cost of funds. The decrease during the nine month period was due to the yield on earning assets increasing less than the increase in the Bank's cost of funds. The decrease in the yield on earning assets for the three month period was due primarily to decreased yield on loans partially offset by an increase in yield on investments. The increase in the yield on earning assets for the nine month period was due to increases in the yields on both loans and investments. The rate the Bank pays on its interest bearing liabilities increased in the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1996 when compared to the same periods last year primarily due to higher interest rates on the Bank's borrowings, and increased deposit rates during the nine month period, but slightly offset by lower rates on deposits during the three month period. The net interest rate margin decreased for the three month period ended September 30, 1996 when compared to the same period in 1995, primarily due to interest income increasing less than the increase in average earning assets. The net interest rate margin increased slightly for the nine month period ended September 30, 1996 when compared to the same period in 1995, primarily due to interest income increasing more than the increase in average earning assets. Net interest income for the three and six month periods ended September 30, 1996 increased primarily due to the increased volume of earning assets. OTHER INCOME, OTHER EXPENSE, AND TAXES The following table details the significant increases and decreases in other income for the three and nine month periods ended September 30. Three Months ended Other income September 30, (dollars in thousands) 1996 1995 Inc(dec) % Service charges and fees $257 $241 $ 16 6.6% Trust fees 365 299 66 22.1 Net investment securities gains (losses) - (1) 1 (100.0) Gains losses on loans sold 44 (7) 51 (728.6) Other operating income 63 76 (13) (17.1) Total other income $729 $ 608 $ 121 19.9% Nine months ended Other income September 30, (dollars in thousands) 1996 1995 Inc(dec) % Service charges and fees $764 $758 $6 .8% Trust fees 1,036 838 198 23.6 Net investment securities gains (losses) (20) (70) 50 (71.4) Trading account gains (losses) - 49 (49) (100.0) Gains losses on loans sold (77) (2) (75) N/M Other operating income 222 142 80 56.3 Total other income $1,925 $1,715 $ 210 12.2% Other income for the three month period ended September 30, 1996 increased by $121,000 as compared to the same period in 1995. The increase was primarily due to increased trust income and unrealized gains on loans held for sale. Trust assets under management at September 30, 1996 totaled $365 million compared to $273 million at September 30, 1995. Other income for the nine month period ended September 30, 1996 increased by $210,000 as compared to the same period in 1995. The increase was primarily due to increased trust fees, increased other operating income, and a decrease in losses on investment securities. The increases were partially offset by a decrease in trading account gains and unrealized losses on loans held for sale caused by an increase in interest rates from the third quarter of 1995. The trading account was liquidated during the first quarter of 1995. The following table details the significant increases and decreases in other expenses for the three and nine month periods ended September 30. Three Months ended Other expenses September 30, (dollars in thousands) 1996 1995 Inc(dec) % Salaries and benefits $1,263 $1,150 $113 9.8% Occupancy 253 225 28 12.4 Furniture and equipment 252 224 28 12.5 FDIC deposit insurance - (17) 17 (100.0) Other real estate expenses 12 146 (134) (91.8) Other operating expenses 706 603 103 17.1 Total other expenses $2,486 $2,331 $ 155 6.7% Nine Months ended Other expenses September 30, (dollars in thousands) 1996 1995 Inc(dec) % Salaries and benefits $3,736 $3,297 $439 13.3% Occupancy 788 701 87 12.4 Furniture and equipment 725 671 54 8.1 FDIC deposit insurance 2 347 (345) (99.4) Other real estate expenses 29 308 (279) (90.6) Other operating expenses 2,080 1,840 240 13.0 Total other expenses $7,360 $7,164 $ 196 2.7% Non-interest expense increased for the three month period ended September 30, 1996, from the comparable period of 1995. The increase was primarily due to increased salaries and benefit expenses and increased other operating expenses, caused primarily by the continued growth of our trust department, our new commercial loan department, and branch expansion. This increase was partially offset by a reduction in other real estate expenses, due to gains on sales of foreclosed real estate recorded during the second quarter of 1996 and a reduced number of foreclosed properties from September 30, 1995. Non-interest expense increased for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to the same period last year. The increase was primarily due to increased salaries and benefits, and increased other operating expenses, partially offset by a decrease in FDIC deposit insurance premiums and other real estate expenses. During the third quarter of 1995 the Bank received a retro active reduction in FDIC deposit insurance premiums. The reasons for the changes in the nine month period are consistent with the changes in the three month period explained above. The effective tax rate for the three month period ended September 30, 1996 decreased to 38.5% from 39.1% for the same period in 1995. The effective tax rate for the nine month period ended September 30, 1996 decreased to 31.3% from 39.6% for the same period in 1995. The decrease was primarily due to the Bank's settlement of a tax claim against the State of Connecticut, an increase in dividend income which qualifies for the Federal dividend received deduction and a decrease in the State of Connecticut tax rate to 10.75% from 11.25%.
