WEBSTER FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
BUSINESS
Webster Financial Corporation ("Webster" or the "Company"), through its
subsidiaries, Webster Bank ("the Bank") and Damman Associates Inc. ("Damman"),
delivers financial services to individuals, families and businesses primarily in
Connecticut. Webster provides business and consumer banking, mortgage,
insurance, trust and investment services through more than 120 banking offices,
200 ATMs and the internet (www.websterbank.com). Webster's online mortgage
subsidiary at www.nowlending.com on the Worldwide Web originates low-cost
mortgages across the United States. Webster Bank was founded in 1935 and
converted from a federal mutual to a federal stock institution in 1986.
BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION
The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Webster and its
subsidiaries. The Consolidated Financial Statements and notes hereto have been
restated to include the accounts of New England Community Bancorp., Inc.
("NECB") acquired on December 1, 1999, as though this pooling of interests
acquisition had occurred at the beginning of the earliest period presented. All
share data has been restated for stock dividends and stock splits. The
Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and
with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 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. All
significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Amounts in prior period financial statements are reclassified whenever necessary
to conform to current period presentations. The results of operations for the
three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2000, are not necessarily
indicative of the results which may be expected for the year as a whole.
The preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with
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, as of the date of the
Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses for the periods presented. These Consolidated Financial Statements
should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and
notes thereto included in the Webster 1999 Annual Report to Shareholders. The
actual results of Webster could differ from those estimates. Material estimates
that are susceptible to near-term changes include the determination of the
allowance for loan losses and the valuation allowance for the deferred tax
asset.
NOTE 2 - ACQUISITIONS
PURCHASE TRANSACTIONS COMPLETED DURING THIRD QUARTER
THE FLEETBOSTON BRANCH ACQUISITION
In November 1999, Webster announced a definitive agreement with FleetBoston
Financial to purchase four Connecticut branches that were being divested as a
result of the Fleet-BankBoston merger. The branches had approximately $163
million in deposit balances at the time of closing and are located in
Brookfield, Guilford, Meriden, and Thomaston. The transaction included the
purchase of deposits and loans for individual and small business customers
associated with these branches. Webster closed the transaction during the third
quarter of 2000.

NOTE 3 - SECURITIES
Securities are classified as available for sale, held to maturity or trading.
Management determines the appropriate classification of securities at the time
of purchase. Securities are classified as held to maturity when the Company has
the intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity. Held to maturity
securities are stated at amortized cost. Securities classified as trading are
carried at fair value, with net unrealized gains and losses recognized currently
in the income statement. Securities not classified as held to maturity or
trading are classified as available for sale and are stated at fair value.
Unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, on available for sale securities are
included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), a separate component
of shareholders' equity. The values at which held to maturity or available for
sale securities are reported are adjusted for amortization of premiums or
accretion of discounts over the estimated terms of the securities using a method
which approximates the level yield method. Such amortization and accretion is
included in interest income from securities. Unrealized losses on securities are
charged to earnings when the decline in fair value of a security is judged to be
other than temporary. The specific identification method is used to determine
realized gains and losses on sales of securities.

securities sold under agreements to repurchase averaged approximately $765.3
million during the third quarter and the maximum amount outstanding at month-end
during the third quarter was $855.2 million. Securities underlying the
repurchase transactions held as collateral are primarily U.S. Government agency
securities consisting of FannieMae, Government National Mortgage Association
("GNMA") and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC") securities.
Securities sold under agreement to repurchase related to Webster's funding
operations are delivered to broker-dealers. Webster also enters into short-term
repurchase agreement transactions directly with commercial and municipal
customers through its Treasury sales desk.

The remaining total accrued liability balance of $3.3 million at September 30,
2000 represents, for the most part, an accrual for data processing contract
termination costs payable over future periods and the estimated loss on sale of
excess fixed assets due to consolidation of overlapping branch locations.
NOTE 6 - SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
Total equity increased $40.8 million during the third quarter period ended
September 30, 2000. The net increase was primarily attributable to net income of
$31.6 million, a favorable change of $25.1 million of unrealized gains, net
related to the available for sale securities portfolio and $5.2 million from the
exercise of stock options. These increases were partially offset by a reduction
of $13.2 million for the repurchase of Webster common stock and dividend
payments to common shareholders of $7.9 million.
Total equity increased $192.3 million for the nine month period ended September
30, 2000. This increase was primarily due to $86.5 million of net income, $203.4
million related to the MECH Financial, Inc. ("Mechanics") acquisition, stock
option exercises of $12.3 million and a favorable $23.4 million change of
unrealized gains, net on the available for sale securities portfolio. These
increases were partially offset by a reduction of $109.8 million for the
repurchase of Webster common stock, $20.8 million for common stock dividend
payments and $3.6 million for the retirement of Mechanic's common shares held by
Webster.
During the third quarter of 2000, Webster repurchased 558,020 shares of its
common stock. The total cost of the repurchased shares was $13.2 million with an
average per share cost of approximately $23.73. For the nine months ended
September 30, 2000, Webster repurchased 4.9 million shares of its common stock.
The cost of the repurchased stock was $109.8 million with an average per share
cost of approximately $22.36. The repurchased stock was primarily related to a
repurchase program announced in December 1999 for the purchase acquisition of
Mechanics that was closed in June 2000.
NOTE 7 - BUSINESS SEGMENTS
Webster has three segments for purposes of business segment reporting. These
segments include retail banking, business banking and treasury. The
organizational hierarchies that define the business segments are periodically
reviewed and revised. Results may be restated when necessary to reflect changes
in the organizational structure. The following table presents the statement of
operations and total assets for Webster's reportable segments.

The retail banking segment includes investment and insurance services, consumer
lending and the Bank's deposit generation and direct banking activities, which
include the operation of automated teller machines and telebanking customer
support, sales and small business banking. The retail banking segment also
includes the Bank's investment in residential real estate loan origination,
servicing and secondary marketing activities. The business banking segment
includes the Bank's investment in commercial and industrial loans and commercial
real estate loans. The business banking segment also includes business deposits,
cash management activities for business banking and all trust activities. The
treasury segment includes the Bank's investment in assets and liabilities
managed by Treasury and includes interest-bearing deposits, investment
securities, Federal Home Loan Bank advances, repurchase agreements and other
borrowings.
During the third quarter of 2000, Webster consolidated its consumer banking and
mortgage lending segments and investment and insurance services into one segment
called retail banking. The trust function that was previously included within
the other segment category was transferred into the business segment.
During the third quarter of 1999, Webster changed its internal funds transfer
pricing methodology, which charges or credits for the source or use of funds.
This change effected net interest income for all reported segments. As a result
of this change in methodology, there was an increase in interest income
allocated to treasury and an increase in interest expense allocated to retail
banking. The allocations are subject to periodic adjustment as the internal
management accounting system is revised and business or product lines within the
segments change. Also, because the development and application of these
methodologies is a dynamic process, the financial results presented may be
periodically revised.
Management allocates indirect expenses to its business segments. These expenses
include administration, finance, operations and other support related functions.
During the third quarter of 1999, as a result of further changes in methodology,
Webster reallocated certain noninterest expenses to retail banking from
treasury. Net income (loss) after taxes for the segments do not include certain
income and expense categories (net of taxes), totaling for the three and nine
month periods ended September 30, 2000, $(3.0) million and $(9.3) million,
respectively, and for the same respective periods in 1999 $(3.2) million and
$(9.4) million, that do not directly relate to segments. The major categories
not included in the segments for the three and nine month periods ended
September 30, 2000, were (on a before-tax basis) $3.5 million and $10.7 million
of capital securities expenses and $1.0 million and $3.1 million of dividend
expenses on the preferred stock of subsidiary corporation for each respective
period. For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1999, the major
categories not included in the segments were capital securities expenses of $3.7
million and $11.0 million and $1.0 million and $3.1 million of dividend expenses
on the preferred stock of subsidiary corporation for each respective period.
NOTE 8 - INCOME TAXES
Total income tax expense for the three month periods ended September 30, 2000
and 1999 was $15.6 million and $12.0 million, respectively. Total income tax
expense for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 was $42.7
million and $37.6 million, respectively. Tax expense for the current year three
and nine month periods is higher than the corresponding prior year periods
primarily due to a higher level of income before taxes. During the first quarter
of 1999, Webster formed a Connecticut Passive Investment Company ("PIC"). PICs
are exempt from state income taxation in Connecticut, and the dividends paid
from a PIC to a related financial institution are also exempt from inclusion in
Connecticut taxable income. Webster Bank qualifies as a financial institution
under the Connecticut statute. The exemption is effective for tax years
beginning on or after January 1, 1999.

NOTE 10 - CORPORATION-OBLIGATED MANDATORILY REDEEMABLE CAPITAL SECURITIES OF
SUBSIDIARY TRUSTS HOLDING SOLELY JUNIOR SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES OF THE
CORPORATION
During 1997, Webster formed a statutory business trust, Webster Capital Trust I
("Trust I"), of which Webster owns all of the common stock. Trust I exists for
the sole purpose of issuing trust securities and investing the proceeds in an
equivalent amount of subordinated debentures of the Corporation. On January 31,
1997, Trust I completed a $100 million underwritten public offering of 9.36%
Corporation-Obligated Manditorily Redeemable Capital Securities of Webster
Capital Trust I ("capital securities"). The sole asset of Trust I is $100
million of Webster's 9.36% junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures
due in 2027 ("subordinated debt securities"), purchased by Trust I on January
30, 1997. On April 1, 1997, Eagle Financial Capital Trust I, subsequently
renamed Webster Capital Trust II ("Trust II"), completed a $50 million private
placement of 10.00% capital securities. Proceeds from the issue were invested by
Trust II in junior subordinated deferrable debentures issued by Eagle due in
2027. These debentures represent the sole assets of Trust II. The subordinated
debt securities are unsecured obligations of Webster and are subordinate and
junior in right of payment to all present and future senior indebtedness of
Webster. Webster has entered into guarantees, which together with Webster's
obligations under the subordinated debt securities and the

declarations of trust governing Trust I and Trust II, including its obligations
to pay costs, expenses, debts and liabilities (other than trust securities),
provides a full and unconditional guarantee of amounts on the capital
securities. Expense on the securities including amortization of issuance costs,
for the three month periods ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, was $3.5 million
and $3.7 million, respectively, and for the nine month periods ended September
30, 2000 and 1999 was $10.7 million and $11.0 million, respectively.
NOTE 11 - ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS"), No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities". This statement establishes accounting and
reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative
instruments embedded in other contracts (collectively referred to as
derivatives), and for hedging activities. The accounting for changes in the fair
value of a derivative depends on the intended use of the derivative and the
resulting designation. Under this statement, an entity that elects to apply
hedge accounting is required to establish at the inception of the hedge the
method it will use for assessing the effectiveness of the hedging derivative and
the measurement approach for determining the ineffective aspect of the hedge.
Those methods must be consistent with the entity's approach to managing risk.
SFAS No. 133, as amended by SFAS No. 137, is now effective for all fiscal
quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. Upon adoption, hedging
relationships must be designated anew and documented pursuant to the provisions
of this statement. Early adoption is permitted, however, retroactive application
is prohibited. The Company intends to adopt SFAS No. 133 as of January 1, 2001.
The adoption of this Standard may cause volatility in both the Consolidated
Statement of Income as well as the shareholders' equity section of the
Consolidated Statement of Condition. The impact of this Standard will be
dependent upon the fair value, nature and purpose of the derivative instruments
held by the Corporation as of January 1, 2001. Management has estimated that if
Webster had adopted SFAS No. 133 on September 30, 2000, the initial adoption
would not have had a material effect on Webster's financial statements. However,
these estimates are based on then current market rates and economic conditions,
which are subject to change. The effect of adoption on January 1, 2001 cannot be
estimated with certainty at this time, as it is subject to unknown variables at
that date such as (1) actual derivatives and related hedge positions, (2) market
values of derivatives and related hedged items, and (3) further ongoing
interpretation of SFAS No. 133 by the FASB.
In June 2000, the FASB issued SFAS No. 138, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities, an amendment to the SFAS Statement No. 133".
This statement amends the accounting and reporting standards of SFAS No. 133 for
certain derivative instruments and certain hedging activities.
In June 2000, the FASB issued SFAS No. 139, "Recission of FASB Statement No. 53
and amendments to FASB statements No. 63, 89 and 121". This statement shall be
effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2000. The changes under this statement pertain to industries other than banking
and therefore, this statement is expected to have no impact on Webster's
financial statements.
In September 2000, the FASB issued SFAS No. 140, "Accounting for Transfers and
Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities", a replacement
of SFAS No. 125. SFAS No. 140 addresses implementation issues that were
identified in applying SFAS No. 125. This statement revises the standards for
accounting for securitizations and other transfers of financial assets and
collateral and requires certain disclosures, but it carries over most of the
provisions of SFAS No. 125 without reconsideration. SFAS 140 is effective for
transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities
occurring after March 31, 2001. SFAS No. 140 is effective for recognition and
reclassification of collateral and for disclosures relating to securitization
transactions and collateral for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2000.
This statement is to be applied prospectively with certain exceptions. Other
than those exceptions, earlier or retroactively application is not permitted.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GENERAL
Webster Financial Corporation ("Webster" or the "Company"), through its
subsidiaries, Webster Bank ("the Bank") and Damman Associates Inc. ("Damman"),
delivers financial services to individuals, families and businesses primarily in
Connecticut. Webster provides business and consumer banking, mortgage,
insurance, trust and investment services through more than 120 banking offices,
200 ATMs and the internet (www.websterbank.com). Webster's online mortgage
subsidiary at www.nowlending.com on the Worldwide Web originates low-cost
mortgages across the United States. Webster Bank was founded in 1935 and
converted from a federal mutual to a federal stock institution in 1986.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Webster on a consolidated basis at September 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999, had
total assets of $11.3 billion and $9.9 billion, total securities of $3.3 billion
and $3.1 billion, and net loans receivable of $6.9 billion and $6.0 billion,
respectively. Total deposits at the end of September 30, 2000 and December 31,
1999 were $7.0 billion and $6.2 billion and shareholders' equity totaled $828.0
million and $635.7 million, respectively.
Total assets increased $1.3 billion or 13.3% at September 30, 2000 from December
31, 1999. The overall increase is primarily due to purchase acquisitions that
were completed during the current year period, and net increases in net loans of
$838.5 million, available for sale securities of $360.4 million and intangible
assets of $173.7 million. The acquisitions completed during the current year
period contributed $711.2 million of net loans. The increase in investment
securities for the current year period is not related to the acquisitions as the
bulk of acquired securities were sold at the time of acquisition. The increase
in intangible assets primarily reflects goodwill and core deposit intangibles
totaling $180.3 million that were recorded during the current year second and
third quarter periods for the purchase acquisitions of MECH Financial Inc.
("Mechanics"), and branch purchases from The Chase Manhattan Bank ("Chase") and
FleetBoston Corporation ("Fleet").
Total liabilities increased $1.1 billion primarily due to increases in deposits
of $839.8 million and borrowings of $297.3 million. Acquisitions completed
during the current year period contributed net deposits and borrowings of $868.9
million and $327.1 million, respectively. The net increase to total equity of
$192.3 million is primarily due to $199.4 million of common stock issued for
acquisitions during the current year period, net income of $86.5 million, a
reduction of $23.4 million in unrealized losses on the available for sale
securities portfolio and stock option exercise proceeds of $12.3 million which
were offset by $109.8 million for repurchases of Webster common stock, $20.8
million for common stock dividend payments and $3.6 million of charges for the
retirement of Mechanics common stock held by Webster at the time of acquisition.
At September 30, 2000, the assets of Webster, on an unconsolidated basis,
consisted primarily of its investments in the Bank and Damman that totaled
$921.6 million, investment securities of $99.5 million and $40.0 million of cash
and interest-bearing deposits. Primary sources of income to Webster, on an
unconsolidated basis, are dividend payments received from the Bank and interest
and dividends from investment securities. Primary expenses of Webster, on an
unconsolidated basis, are interest expense on borrowings and interest expense
related to the capital securities.
Webster, through its consolidated Bank subsidiary, originates various types of
residential, business and consumer loans. Total gross loans receivable before
the allowance for loan losses were $6.9 billion and $6.1 billion at September
30, 2000 and December 31, 1999, respectively. The Bank offers commercial and
residential permanent and construction mortgage loans, commercial and industrial
loans and various types of consumer loans including home equity lines of credit,
home equity loans and other types of small business and household loans. At
September 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999, residential loans represented the
primary part of Webster's loan portfolio.

WEBSTER FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Bank, as part of its strategy to transition its asset base to that of a
commercial bank, places a strong emphasis on originating and developing its
commercial loan portfolio. In order to obtain geographic and industry
diversification within its commercial loan portfolio, the Bank participates in
the specialized lending market. The specialized lending loans are monitored by
the Shared National Credit Program, which was designed to provide efficient and
consistent review and classification, by bank regulatory agencies, of any loan
or loan commitment shared by three or more supervised institutions and totaling
$20 million or more. These bank regulatory agencies include the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Office of the Comptroller of the
Currency and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
At September 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999, the Bank had $429.0 million and
$297.0 million, respectively, of funded loans in the specialized lending market.
This represented approximately 6% and 5% of the total loan portfolio and 21% and
18% of the commercial loan portfolio at September 30, 2000 and December 31,
1999, respectively. Any additional credit risk, that may result from the
participation in the specialized lending market, will be monitored by the bank's
credit administration department. The Bank, at September 30, 2000 and December
31, 1999, had total loan loss allowances that were 200% and 191% of nonaccrual
loans, respectively. At September 30, 2000, the Bank had one specialized lending
borrower with nonaccrual loans totaling $5.2 million.

ASSET QUALITY
NONACCRUAL ASSETS
Webster devotes significant attention to maintaining high asset quality through
conservative underwriting standards, active servicing of loans and aggressively
managing nonaccrual assets. The aggregate amount of nonaccrual assets increased
to $47.9 million at September 30, 2000 from $43.3 million at December 31, 1999
and decreased as a percentage of total assets to .43% at September 30, 2000 from
.44% at December 31, 1999. For the current year nine month period, nonaccrual
loans increased $6.1 million and foreclosed properties decreased $1.5 million.
The increase in nonaccrual loans for the current year period of $6.1 million is
primarily due to a $6.8 million syndicated loan relationship classified as
nonaccrual during the second quarter of 2000. The allowance for loan losses at
September 30, 2000 was $88.9 million and represented 200% of nonaccrual loans
and 1.3% of total gross outstanding loans. Total allowances for nonaccrual
assets of $89.1 million represented 185% of nonaccrual assets. The following
table details nonaccrual assets for the periods presented.

Net charge-offs for the current year nine month period totaled $3.2 million as
compared to $2.5 million for the same period in 1999 primarily due to an
increase in commercial loan net charge-offs that was partially offset by lower
residential mortgage loan net charge-offs. The increase in commercial loan net
charge-offs for the current year period is primarily due to a $1.7 million
syndicated loan charge-off in June of 2000. Provision for loan losses expense
for the current year period increased compared to the previous year same period
primarily due to an increase in nonaccrual loans. The increase in the allowance
for loan losses of $15.9 million when the current year balance is compared to
one year earlier is primarily due to the incorporation of an $11.0 million
allowance for loan losses related to the Mechanics acquisition and an $8.6
million provision for the current year period. Management believes that the
allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2000 is adequate to cover expected
losses in the portfolio.
ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT
Interest-rate risk is the sensitivity of the market value of Webster's
interest-sensitive assets and liabilities and the sensitivity of Webster's
earnings to changes in interest rates over short-term and long-term time
horizons. The primary goal of interest-rate risk management is to control risk
within limits approved by Webster's Board of Directors. Webster's Asset &
Liability Management Committee manages interest-rate risk to maximize net
interest income and net market value over time in changing interest-rate
environments. Management measures interest-rate risk using simulation analyses
with particular emphasis on measuring changes in net market value and net
interest income in different rate environments. Market value is measured as the
net present value of future cash flows.
Simulation analysis incorporates assumptions about balance sheet changes such as
asset and liability growth, loan and deposit pricing and changes due to the mix
of assets and liabilities. Key assumptions relate to the behavior of interest
rates and spreads, fluctuations in product balances, prepayment speeds and decay
rates on deposits. From such simulations, interest-rate risk is quantified and
appropriate strategies are formulated and implemented.
Webster also uses as part of its asset/liability management strategy various
interest-rate contracts including futures and options, interest-rate swaps and
interest-rate caps and floors. Webster utilizes these financial instruments to
manage interest-rate risk by reducing net exposures. These interest-rate
financial instruments involve, to varying degrees, credit risk and market risk.
Credit risk is the possibility that a loss may occur if a counterparty to a
transaction fails to perform according to the terms of the contract. Market risk
is the effect of a change in interest rates on the value of the instruments. The
notional amount of interest-rate financial instruments is the amount upon which
interest and other payments under the contract are based. The notional amount is
not exchanged and therefore, the notional amounts should not be taken as a
measure of credit risk.
Webster holds futures and options positions and interest-rate contracts to
minimize the price volatility of certain assets held as trading securities.
Changes in the market value of these positions are recognized in the
Consolidated Statements of Income in the period for which the change occurred.

The tables above exclude earning assets that are not directly impacted by
changes in interest rates. These assets include equity securities of $187.3
million at September 30, 2000 and $201.4 million at December 31, 1999 and
nonaccrual loans of $44.5 million at September 30, 2000 and $38.4 million at
December 31, 1999 (see "Asset Quality" within the MD&A). Values for mortgage
servicing rights have been included in the tables above as movements in interest
rates affect the valuation of the servicing rights. Equity securities and
nonaccrual assets not included in the above tables are, however, subject to
fluctuations in market value based on other risks. The equity securities at
September 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999 include $124.7 million and $103.9
million, respectively, of FHLB stock which is insensitive to market
fluctuations.
Interest-sensitive assets, net of interest-sensitive liabilities, when impacted
by a minus 100 basis point rate change, result in a favorable $70.1 million
change in net market values for September 30, 2000 compared to a favorable $84.1
million net market value change at December 31, 1999. These changes represent
0.7% of interest-sensitive assets at September 30, 2000 and 1.0% of
interest-rate sensitive assets at December 31, 1999. A plus 100 basis point rate
change results in an unfavorable $114.4 million or 1.1% change at September 30,
2000 compared to an unfavorable $127.8 million or 1.5% change at December 31,
1999.

WEBSTER FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Based on Webster's asset/liability mix at September 30, 2000, management
estimates that an instantaneous 100 basis point increase in interest rates would
decrease net interest income over the next twelve months by approximately 3.9%.
An instantaneous 100 basis point decline in interest rates would increase net
interest income by approximately 4.3%. These estimates assume that management
takes no action to mitigate any negative effects from changing interest rates.
The market values and net interest income estimates are subject to factors that
could cause actual results to differ. Management believes that Webster's
interest-rate risk position at September 30, 2000, represents a reasonable level
of risk.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Bank is required to maintain minimum levels of liquid assets as defined by
regulations adopted by the OTS. This requirement, which may be varied by the
OTS, is based upon a percentage of net withdrawable deposits and short-term
borrowings. The required liquidity ratio is currently 4.00% and the Bank's
liquidity ratio at September 30, 2000 exceeded the requirement. Webster Bank
also is required by regulation to maintain sufficient liquidity to ensure safe
and sound operations. Adequate liquidity as assessed by the OTS may vary from
institution to institution depending on such factors as the institution's
overall asset/liability structure, market conditions, competition and the nature
of the institution's deposit and loan customers. The OTS considers both an
institution's liquidity ratio as well as safety and soundness issues in
assessing whether an institution has sufficient liquidity.
Liquidity management allows Webster to meet cash needs at a reasonable cost
under various operating environments. Liquidity is actively managed and reviewed
in order to maintain stable cost effective funding to support the balance sheet.
Liquidity comes from a variety of sources such as the cash flow from operating
activities including principal and interest payments on loans and investments,
unpledged securities which can be sold or utilized to secure funding and by
maintaining the ability to attract new deposits. Webster's goal is to maintain a
strong base of core deposits to support its growing balance sheet.
Management monitors current and projected cash needs and adjusts liquidity as
necessary. Webster has a detailed liquidity contingency plan, which is designed
to respond to liquidity concerns in a prompt and comprehensive manner. It is
designed to provide early detection of potential problems and details specific
actions required to address liquidity risks.
Webster is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") system and has
additional borrowing capacity from the FHLB of approximately $2.0 billion at
September 30, 2000. At that date, the Bank had FHLB advances outstanding of $2.1
billion compared to $1.7 billion at December 31, 1999.
Webster Preferred Capital Corporation ("WPCC"), a subsidiary of the Bank, is
required to redeem all outstanding shares of its Series A Preferred Stock on
January 15, 2001 that has a redemption value of $40.0 million. WPCC has
sufficient cash to redeem the stock without outside funding. WPCC expects
sufficient cash flow from loan payments to replenish its cash.
Webster's main sources of liquidity at the holding company level are dividends
from the Bank, investment income and net proceeds from capital offerings and
borrowings. The main uses of liquidity are purchases of investment securities,
the payment of dividends to common stockholders, repurchases of Webster's common
stock, and the payment of interest on borrowings and capital securities. There
are certain restrictions on the payment of dividends by the Bank to Webster.
Webster also maintains $120.0 million in revolving lines of credit with
correspondent banks. At September 30, 2000, the total balance outstanding on the
lines of credit was $103.0 million.

During the third quarter of 2000, Webster repurchased a total of 558,020 shares
of its common stock under a previously announced repurchase program. The total
cost of the repurchased shares was $13.2 million with an average per share cost
of approximately $23.73. The repurchased stock was related to the purchase
acquisition of Mechanics that closed during the second quarter current year
period.
Applicable OTS regulations require the Bank, as a federal savings bank, to
satisfy certain minimum capital requirements, including a leverage capital
requirement and risk-based capital requirements. As an OTS regulated savings
institution, the Bank is also subject to a minimum tangible capital requirement.
At September 30, 2000, the Bank was in full compliance with all applicable
capital requirements.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
COMPARISON OF THE THREE AND NINE MONTH PERIODS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 AND
1999.
GENERAL
Net income for the three month period ended September 30, 2000, was $31.6
million or $.64 per diluted share compared to $26.4 million or $.57 per diluted
share for the same period ended September 30, 1999. Net income for the nine
month period ended September 30, 2000 was $86.5 million or $1.90 per diluted
share compared to $75.7 million or $1.67 per diluted share for the previous year
period. In general, higher net income for the current three and nine month
periods was the result of increased net interest income and noninterest income
partially offset by increased operating expenses for the current year periods.
More specifically, these increases are primarily the result of recent business
combinations. Information concerning business combinations is contained within
"Note 2 - Acquisitions" and in the 1999 Annual Report to Shareholders within
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition & Results of
Operations" section and incorporated herein by reference.
NET INTEREST INCOME
Net interest income for the three and nine month periods ended September 30,
2000, amounted to $85.8 million and $241.1 million, respectively, compared to
$77.8 million and $227.0 million for the respective periods in 1999. Total
interest income for the current year three and nine month periods compared to
the same periods in 1999 increased $35.4 million and $60.2 million,
respectively, while increases in total interest expense of $27.5 million and
$46.0 million, respectively, partially offset the increases in total interest
income. Net interest rate spread for the three and nine month periods ended
September 30, 2000 was 3.18% and 3.15%, respectively, as compared to 3.25% and
3.18% for the same periods in the previous year.
INTEREST INCOME
Total interest income for the three and nine month periods ended September 30,
2000 was $197.6 million and $542.2 million, respectively, compared to $162.2
million and $482.0 million in the previous year. The increases in total interest
income for the current year periods are due to both an increase in the volume of
average interest-earning assets and higher yields realized on these earning
assets. When the three month periods ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 are
compared, average loans increased $1.0 billion and the yield increased 62 basis
points over the prior year same period. Investment securities average funds
increased $119.8 million for the current year three month period and the yield
increased 31 basis points over the prior year same period. When the nine month
periods ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 are compared, interest-earning assets
increased $561.1 million and the yield increased 33 basis points for the current
year period. The increase in average assets and yield for the current year nine
month period was primarily attributable to an increase in average loans of
$666.0 million and an increased yield of 36 basis points for the current year
period. Average investment securities decreased during the current year nine
month period, however the related interest income increased as compared to the
previous year same period.

INTEREST EXPENSE
Total interest expense for the three and nine month periods ended September 30,
2000, was $111.8 million and $301.1 million, respectively, compared to $84.3
million and $255.0 million for the previous year periods. The rate paid on
interest-bearing liabilities for the three and nine months periods ended
September 30, 2000 was 4.38% and 4.22% respectively, as compared to 3.80% and
3.86%, respectively, for the same periods one year earlier. The increase in
total interest expense for the current three and nine month periods as compared
to one year earlier, is primarily due to a higher volume of average
interest-bearing liabilities of $1.3 billion and $702.7 million, respectively,
and higher costs on interest-bearing liabilities, most notably borrowings.
The higher costs on borrowings for the current year periods are primarily the
result of higher yields on FHLB advances that increased approximately 105 and 84
basis points for the three and nine month periods, respectively, and the cost of
repurchase agreements that increased approximately 144 and 109 basis points for
the three and nine month periods, respectively. The increase in borrowing costs
reflect a rising wholesale borrowing cost environment for the current year.
The following table shows the major categories of average assets and average
liabilities together with their respective interest income or expense and the
rates earned and paid by Webster.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES
The provision for loan losses was $3.2 million and $8.6 million, respectively,
for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2000 compared to $2.2
million and $6.7 million for the same respective periods in 1999. The increase
for 2000 is attributable to the increase in gross loans and a shift within the
loan portfolio to a higher concentration of commercial loans. At September 30,
2000, the allowance for loan losses totaled $88.9 million and represented 200.0%
of nonaccrual loans as compared to $72.7 million and 190.7% respectively, at
December 31, 1999. At September 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999, the allowance
for loan losses represented 1.28% and 1.19% of gross outstanding loans,
respectively.

NONINTEREST INCOME
Total noninterest income for the three and nine month periods ended September
30, 2000 totaled $33.2 million and $91.4 million, respectively, compared to
$21.9 million and $66.0 million for the same respective periods in 1999. When
the three month periods are compared, increased income for the current period of
$11.3 million is primarily due to an increase of $2.5 million in fees and
service charges, $1.5 million in trust and investment services, $2.0 million in
insurance commissions, $3.4 million in net gains on the sale of securities and
$1.6 million of gains on sale of loans and loan servicing. During the current
year third quarter period, net gains of $2.0 million were realized on the sale
of mortgage servicing rights. When the nine month periods are compared,
increased income for the current period of $25.4 million is primarily due to an
increase of $7.1 million in fees and service charges, $6.9 million in trust and
investment services, $5.4 million of net gains on sale of securities and a $5.5
million increase in insurance commissions. The increase in fees and service
charges, trust and investment services and insurance commissions is due
primarily to an increased customer base, fees generated from expanded insurance,
trust and investments sales and as a result of acquisitions.
NONINTEREST EXPENSES
Total noninterest expenses for the three and nine month periods ended September
30, 2000 totaled $68.6 million and $194.8 million, respectively, compared to
$59.1 million and $173.1 million, respectively, for the same periods in 1999.
The increase in noninterest expenses for the current year third quarter period
as compared to the same period in the previous year is primarily due to
increased compensation and benefits expense of $3.4 million and intangible
amortization expense of $2.9 million. The increase of $21.7 million for the
current year nine month period as compared to the previous year same period is
primarily due to increased expenses for compensation and benefits expense of
$12.7 million, intangible asset amortization expense of $5.3 million and
occupancy and equipment expenses of $5.2 million. The increases in noninterest
expenses for the current year periods are a direct result of recent
acquisitions.
INCOME TAXES
Total income tax expense for the three and nine month periods ended September
30, 2000 were $15.6 million and $42.7 million, respectively, as compared to
$12.0 million and $37.6 million, respectively, for the same periods in 1999. Tax
expenses for the current year periods are higher than the corresponding 1999
periods due to a higher level of income before income taxes. During the first
quarter of 1999, Webster formed a Connecticut Passive Investment Company
("PIC"). PICs are exempt from state income taxation in Connecticut, and the
dividends paid from a PIC to a related financial institution are also exempt
from inclusion in Connecticut taxable income. Webster Bank qualifies as a
financial institution under the Connecticut statute. The exemption is effective
for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 1999.
