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"), Damman Associates, Inc. ("Damman") and
Webster D&P Holdings, Inc. ("Duff & Phelps"), delivers financial services to
individuals, families and businesses primarily in Connecticut and financial
advisory services to public and private companies throughout the United States.
Webster provides business and consumer banking, mortgage lending, trust and
investment services and insurance services through 114 banking offices and other
offices, over 200 ATM's and the internet (www.websterbank.com). Webster's online
mortgage subsidiary Nowlending, LLC, at www.nowlending.com originates
residential mortgages throughout the United States.
BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION
The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Webster and its
subsidiaries. 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 month period ended March 31, 2001 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
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
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 2000 Annual
Report to Shareholders and the Annual Report on Form 10-K. 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 and lease losses and the valuation allowance for the deferred tax asset.
NOTE 2 - ACQUISITIONS
PURCHASE TRANSACTIONS COMPLETED DURING FIRST QUARTER
THE CENTER CAPITAL ACQUISITION
In March 2001, Webster completed its acquisition of Center Capital Corporation
("Center Capital"), a privately-owned Farmington, Connecticut-based equipment
financing company with assets of approximately $260 million. Center Capital
finances commercial and industrial equipment including trucks, tractors,
trailers, machine tools and other heavy equipment through leasing programs to
customers throughout the United States.
THE MUSANTE REIHL ACQUISITION
In January 2001, Webster completed its acquisition of Musante Reihl Associates
("Musante"), a privately-owned Cheshire, Connecticut based insurance agency
which was merged into Damman. Musante specializes in group benefits, long-term
care and life insurance, has seven employees and had revenues of $850,000 in
2000.

& Associates is a multiple lines insurance business specializing in personal and
corporate life insurance, personal and commercial property and casualty
insurance and deferred compensation plans. Benefit Plans Design & Administration
Inc. provides businesses with pension, profit sharing, individual retirement
account (IRA) and 401K investment plans and had approximate revenues of $3.1
million in 2000. The company also provides group life, disability income, and

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.
A summary of securities follows:

NOTE 6 - SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
Total equity increased $34.5 million during the first quarter period ended March
31, 2001. The net increase was primarily attributable to net income of $27.0
million, a favorable change of $12.0 million of net unrealized gains related to
the available for sale securities portfolio and $2.8 million from the exercise
of stock options. These increases were partially offset by a reduction of $1.2
million for the repurchase of Webster common stock and dividend payments to
common shareholders of $7.9 million.
During the first quarter of 2001, Webster repurchased 42,560 shares of its
common stock. The cost of the repurchased stock was $1.2 million with an average
per share cost of approximately $27.99.

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, secondary marketing activities and Webster Investment Services. 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, government finance, trust activities, financial advisory services and
lease financing from Center Capital. The treasury segment includes the Bank's
investment in assets and liabilities managed by Treasury, which include
interest-bearing deposits, investment securities, Federal Home Loan Bank
advances, repurchase agreements and other borrowings.
During 2000, as part of a management reorganization, Webster consolidated its
consumer banking and mortgage lending segments with its investment and insurance
services, which were previously included within the "all other" segment
category. This segment is now referred to as "retail banking". The trust and
government finance activities that were previously included within the "all
other" segment category were transferred into the "business banking" segment.
Management allocates indirect expenses to its business segments. These expenses
include administration, finance, operations and other support related functions.
Net income (loss) after income taxes for the segments does not include certain
income and expense categories that aggregate to net after tax expenses of $2.4
million for the current quarter ended March 31, 2001 and $3.1 million for the
prior quarter ended March 31, 2000, that do not directly relate to segments. On
a before tax basis, the net expenses were $3.6 million for the quarter ended
March 31, 2001 and $4.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2000. Capital
securities expense of $3.6 million (before taxes) was not included in the
segments for the quarter ended March 31, 2001. For the quarter ended March 31,
2000, the major categories not included in the segments were (before taxes) $3.6
million of capital securities expense and $1.0 million of dividend expense on
the preferred stock of a subsidiary corporation. 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 are periodically revised. For the current quarter
ended March 31, 2001, Webster recorded a $3.6 million charge to earnings for an
extraordinary item for the early extinguishment of debt (see Note 9) and a $1.8
million charge to earnings for the cumulative effect of a change in method of
accounting (see Note 10).
NOTE 8 - INCOME TAXES
Total income tax expense for the three month period ended March 31, 2001 and
2000 was $13.4 million and $13.3 million, respectively. The tax expense for the
period ended March 31, 2001 included tax benefits totaling $1.8 million for the
tax effect on the extraordinary item and the cumulative effect of the change in
method of accounting. The effective tax rate for both periods was approximately
33%. Tax expense for the current year three month period is higher than the
corresponding prior year periods primarily due to a higher level of income
before taxes. During the first quarter of 2000, Webster formed a Connecticut
Passive Investment Company ("PIC"). PIC's 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 9 - EXTRAORDINARY ITEM - EARLY EXTINGUISHMENT OF DEBT
In January 2000, Webster recorded a $1.8 million charge ($1.2 million, net of
taxes) to earnings for the early extinquishment of debt. The prepayment penalty
was incurred on seven Federal Home Loan Bank advances totaling $155.3 million
with rates between 6.30% and 8.20% and remaining maturity dates ranging from 1
month to 20 months.

NOTE 10 - CUMULATIVE EFFECT OF CHANGE IN METHOD OF ACCOUNTING
In June 1999, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS"), No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities". This statement established 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. In June 2000, the FASB
issued SFAS No. 138, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities, an amendment to SFAS No. 133". This statement amended the accounting
and reporting standards of SFAS No. 133 for certain derivative instruments and
certain hedging activities. Upon adoption, hedging relationships must be
designated anew and documented pursuant to the provisions of this statement. The
Company implemented SFAS No. 133 as of January 1, 2001. The implementation of
SFAS No. 133 resulted in a $3.6 million (net of tax, $2.4 million) charge to
earnings for derivatives that were deemed as "ineffective" hedges. Webster also
reclassified all held to maturity securities to available for sale as permitted
under SFAS No. 133, as amended.
On January 1, 2001, Webster had an existing interest rate swap hedge. This swap
qualifies as an effective fair value hedge under SFAS 133. Specific information
is detailed below.
Webster's risk management objective is to hedge the fair value of a Certificate
of Deposit (CD) by entering into an interest rate swap with equal and offsetting
fixed payments. The combination of the swap and the CD results in a par based
deposit liability.
The notional amount of the swap is $25,000,000 and no premium was paid. The
fixed rate payer is the counter party and the floating rate payer is Webster
Bank. The hedged item is a Certificate of Deposit.
At the date of adoption and at the end of the reporting period, Webster has
concluded that the hedging relationship is highly effective in achieving
offsetting price movements attributable to changes in the benchmark interest
rate (i.e., that changes in the value of the swap will offset changes in the
value of the CD). Thus, the hedging relationship is highly effective in
maintaining a net market value very near par. The net loss recognized in earning
during the three month period ended March 31, 2001 representing the amount of
the hedges ineffectiveness was immaterial.
Webster has other derivative instruments in its operations that do not qualify
for hedge accounting under SFAS 133. These include the Bank's commitments to
originate and sell residential mortgage loans that meet secondary market
underwriting standards. These derivatives are used to mitigate the interest rate
risk associated with Webster Bank's mortgage operations. The Bank's other
derivatives instrument that do not qualify for hedge account under SFAS 133 also
are an interest rate cap and floor, both of which are used to minimize interest
rate risk on the Company's investment portfolio.

NOTE 12 - 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 period
ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, was $3.6 million for each period.

NOTE 13 - ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
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 No. 140 is effective
for transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of
liabilities occurring after March 31, 2001. SFAS No. 140 also 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 retroactive application is
not permitted. Webster does not expect any material impact from the
implementation of SFAS No. 140 effective April 1, 2001.

ITEM 2. 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"), Damman Associates, Inc. ("Damman") and
Webster D&P Holdings, Inc. ("Duff & Phelps"), delivers financial services to
individuals, families and businesses primarily in Connecticut and financial
advisory services to public and private companies throughout the United States.
Webster provides business and consumer banking, mortgage lending, trust and
investment services and insurance services through 114 banking offices and other
offices, over 200 ATM's and the internet (www.websterbank.com). Webster's online
mortgage subsidiary Nowlending, LLC, at www.nowlending.com originates
residential mortgages throughout the United States. Webster Bank was founded in
1935 and converted from a federal mutual to a federal stock institution in 1986.
Webster, as a holding company, and the Bank are subject to comprehensive
regulation, examination and supervision by the Office of Thrift Supervision (the
"OTS"), as its primary federal regulator. Webster is also subject to regulation,
examination and supervision by the FDIC as to certain matters. The Bank's
deposits are federally insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
("FDIC"). The Bank is a Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF") member institution. The Bank
conducts trust activities through its wholly owned nationally-chartered trust
company subsidiary which is subject to regulation, examination and supervision
by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. Webster's corporate
headquarters is located at Webster Plaza, Waterbury, Connecticut 06702. Its
telephone number is (203) 753-2921. Webster's internet website is:
www.websterbank.com.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Webster on a consolidated basis at March 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000, had
total assets of $11.7 billion and $11.2 billion, total securities of $3.7
billion and $3.4 billion, and net loans and leases receivable of $7.0 billion
and $6.8 billion, respectively. Total deposits at the end of both March 31, 2001
and December 31, 2000 were $6.9 billion, borrowings were $3.4 billion and $3.0
billion and shareholders' equity totaled $924.9 million and $890.4 million,
respectively.
Total assets increased $454.0 million or 4.0% at March 31, 2001 from December
31, 2000. The overall increase is primarily due to increases in securities of
$285.3 million and net loans and leases of $203.9 million. The increase in loans
and leases was primarily attributable to the purchase acquisition of Center
Capital during the first quarter where approximately $243.7 million of net
leases were acquired. The net increase in intangible assets of $8.1 million
during the first quarter period primarily reflects goodwill totaling $15.6
million that was recorded during the period for two purchase acquisitions,
(Center Capital and Musante Reihl), net of amortization of $7.6 million.
Total liabilities increased $459.5 million primarily due to increases in
borrowings of $392.7 million, a decrease in deposits of $14.8 million and an
increase in other liabilities of $93.9 million for the purchase of securities
not yet funded at March 31, 2001. In January 2001 $40.0 million of preferred
stock issued by one of the Bank's subsidiaries matured. The net increase to
total equity of $34.5 million is primarily due to net income of $27.0 million, a
favorable change of $12.0 million in unrealized gains on the available for sale
securities portfolio, stock option exercise proceeds of $2.8 million and
$680,000 for treasury stock issued for the acquisitions, which was offset by
$1.2 million repurchases of Webster common stock and $7.9 million for common
stock dividend payments.

LENDING ACTIVITIES
GENERAL
Webster, through its consolidated Bank subsidiary, originates various types of
residential, commercial, consumer loans and lease financing. Total gross loans
and leases receivable before the allowance for loan and lease losses were $7.1
billion and $6.9 billion at March 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000, respectively.
The Bank offers commercial and residential permanent and construction mortgage
loans, commercial and industrial loans, lease financing and various types of
consumer loans including home equity lines of credit, home equity loans and
other types of small business and consumer loans. At March 31, 2001 and December
31, 2000, residential loans represented 57% and 60% of Webster's loan portfolio,
respectively.
The Bank's middle market lending unit has lending relationships with companies
primarily located in the State of Connecticut with annual sales of $5 to $250
million. This portfolio has grown due to internal growth as well as the
retention of previously acquired customers. The Bank provides these customers
with a complete array of traditional commercial credit facilities such as lines
of credit, term loans, owner occupied commercial mortgages, asset based lending
and interest-rate protection products. In addition, the Bank provides state of
the art cash management services including automated investments, lock box and
account reconciliation services. In support of customer's international
business, the Bank provides letters of credit and offers various export programs
of the Ex-Im Bank.
Webster Bank originates construction, construction-to-permanent, and permanent

Small Business Banking (SBB) provides a full array of loan and deposit products
to small businesses located throughout Connecticut. Webster's SBB target market
is businesses with annual revenues of up to $5 million. This market represents a
significant percentage of commercial businesses located in Connecticut. SBB uses
the Bank's branch network as well as dedicated business development officers to
fully service its existing customer base and call on potential new customers. In
addition to personal customer contact, SBB utilizes a variety of direct mail and
telemarketing programs to increase market penetration. SBB also plays a major
role in supporting the Bank's Community Reinvestment Act goals by providing
credit facilities for numerous local not-for-profit organizations. SBB uses the
Fair-Isaac credit scoring model to assist in loan approvals of up to $250,000
and offers a $50,000 same day line of credit approval program. SBB provides all
commercial loan products including lines of credit, letters of credit, term
loans and mortgages on owner occupied real estate. The unit has a conservative
loan policy and has a fully staffed portfolio management function to monitor
credit quality. As a result of its expansion efforts, SBB serves as a referral
source for other Bank products including cash management, insurance,
international products and investments. The Bank is also a Small Business
Administration ("SBA") preferred lender authorized to offer all SBA loan
guaranty products and is also active in several loan programs provided through
the Connecticut Development Authority.
The Bank, as part of its strategy to expand its commercial loan portfolio, has
formed a specialized lending unit. The specialized lending unit's objective is
to obtain geographic and industry diversification within the overall commercial
loan portfolio by participating in the syndicated lending market. The loans
administered by the specialized lending unit are monitored by the Shared
National Credit Program ("SNCP"). The SNCP is designed to provide consistent
review and classification by bank regulatory agencies of any loan or loan
commitment that totals $20 million or more and is shared by three or more
supervised institutions. 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 March 31, 2001 and December 31, 2000, the specialized lending unit
administered $459.2 million and $439.9 million, respectively, of funded loans
against commitments of $635.0 million and $637.9 million. This represented
approximately 6.5% and 6.4% of the total loan portfolio at March 31, 2001 and
December 31, 2000, respectively.
A summary of loans administered by the specialized lending unit follows:

In addition to the loans administered by the specialized lending unit, Webster
had $116.1 million of participation loans that are also monitored by the SNCP
against commitments of $201.4 million at March 31, 2001 These participation
loans are located primarily in the Northeast region and represent service
related industrial loans and real estate loans. The loans are funded through
Webster's regional commercial divisions, whose focus is primarily middle market
lending. The SNCP participation loans are distinguished from the specialized
lending unit SNCP loans by being relatively smaller transactions where the Bank
in most cases, has a direct relationship with the borrower.

In March 2001, Webster acquired Center Capital, a privately-owned Farmington,
Connecticut-based equipment financing company. Center Capital finances
commercial and industrial equipment including trucks, tractors, trailers,
machine tools and other heavy equipment through leasing programs to customers
throughout the United States. Through the acquisition, Webster purchased
approximately $243.7 million of net lease financing loans.
LOAN PORTFOLIO REVIEW AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSS METHODOLOGY
Webster devotes significant attention to maintaining high asset quality
through its underwriting standards, active servicing of loans and aggressive
management of nonaccrual assets. The allowance for loan losses is maintained at
a level estimated by management to provide adequately for probable losses
inherent in the loan portfolio. Probable losses are estimated based upon a
quarterly review of the loan portfolio, loss experience, specific problem loans,
economic conditions and other pertinent factors which, in management's judgment,
deserve current recognition in estimating loan losses. In assessing the specific
risks inherent in the portfolio, management takes into consideration the risk of
loss on Webster's nonaccrual loans, classified loans and watch list loans
including an analysis of the collateral for the loans.
Webster's methodology for assessing the appropriateness of the allowance
consists of several key elements. The loan portfolio is segmented into pools of
loans that are similar in type and risk characteristic. These homogeneous pools
are tracked over time and historic delinquency, nonaccrual and loss information
is collected and analyzed. In addition, problem loans are identified and
analyzed individually on a periodic basis to detect specific probable losses.
Webster collects industry delinquency, nonaccrual and loss data using the same
portfolio segments for comparison purposes.
Webster analyzes the data and estimates its probable losses in the portfolio by
calculating formula and specific allowances for nonaccruing loans. The formula
allowance is calculated by applying loss factors to the loan pools and certain
unused commitments, based on the historic default and loss rates, internal risk
ratings, and other risk-based characteristics. Changes in risk ratings, and
other risk factors, from period to period for both performing and nonperforming
loans affect the calculation of the formula allowance. Loss factors are based on
Webster's loss experience, and may be adjusted for significant factors that, in
management's judgment, affect the collectibility of the portfolio as of the
evaluation date. Webster considers the following when determining probable
losses:
o Webster utilizes migration models, which track the dynamic business
characteristics inherent in the specific portfolios. The assumptions are
updated periodically to match changes in the business cycle.
o Pooled loan loss factors (not individually graded loans) are based on
expected net charge-offs. Pooled loans are loans that are homogeneous in
nature, such as residential and consumer loans.
o The loan portfolios are characterized by historical statistics such as
default rates, cure rates, loss in event of default rates and internal risk
ratings.
o Webster statistically evaluates the impact of larger concentrations in the
commercial loan portfolio.
o Comparable industry charge-off statistics by line of business, broadly
defined as residential, consumer, home equity & second mortgages,
commercial real estate and commercial & industrial lending, are utilized as
factors in calculating loss estimates in the Webster loan portfolios.
o Webster reviews actual losses by portfolio segment to validate estimated
future probable losses.

NONACCRUAL ASSETS
The aggregate amount of nonaccrual assets increased to $49.9 million at March
31, 2001 from $44.3 million at December 31, 2000 and increased as percentage of
total assets to 0.43% at March 31, 2001 from 0.39% at December 31, 2000. For the
first quarter of 2001 nonaccrual loans increased $6.1 million and foreclosed
properties decreased $533,000. The increase in nonaccrual loans for the current
three month period is primarily due to $5.7 million of

nonaccruals acquired from Center Capital. The allowance for loan losses at March
31, 2001 was $95.0 million and represented 201.5% of nonaccrual loans and 1.3%
of total gross outstanding loans. Total allowances for nonaccrual assets of
$95.1 million at March 31, 2001 represented 190.0% of nonaccrual assets. The

Net charge-offs for the current year three month period totaled $891,000
decreasing $417,000 as compared to the previous quarter ended December 31, 2000.
The improvement was directly related to lower commercial loan charge-offs for
the current quarter as compared to the previous quarter. The increase in net
charge-offs for the current year period when compared to the same quarter one
year earlier is the result of a growing loan portfolio. 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 $20.4 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 in
June of 2000, a $1.9 million allowance related to the acquisition of Center
Capital in March 2001 and provisions during the year. For additional
information, please refer to the Asset Quality section of Management's
Discussion and Analysis beginning on page 24 of the Corporation's 2000 Annual
Report on Form 10-K. Management believes that the allowance for loan losses at
March 31, 2001 is adequate to cover expected losses in the portfolio.

TROUBLE DEBT RESTRUCTURINGS
At March 31, 2001 and December 31 2000, the Bank had total troubled debt
restructurings of approximately $5.7 million. Interest income booked for March
31, 2001 under the restructured terms totaled $125,000 as compared to $211,000
that would have been booked had the restructured loans been under their original
terms during the three month period. Interest income booked for the three months
ended December 31, 2000 under the restructured terms totaled $126,000 as
compared to $211,000 that would have been booked had the restructured loans been
under their original terms for that period.
POTENTIAL PROBLEM LOANS
At March 31, 2001, the Bank had $28.1 million of potential problem loans or
commitments in its commercial loan portfolio for which management has doubts as
to the ability of such borrowers to comply with present repayment terms or
commitment conditions. At December 31, 2000, the Bank had $17.3 million of
potential problem loans or commitments.
ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT AND MARKET RISK
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 the 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, prepayment speeds and the run-off of
deposits. From such simulations, interest-rate risk is quantified and
appropriate strategies are formulated and implemented.
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 $171.3
million at March 31, 2001 and $175.7 million at December 31, 2000 and nonaccrual
loans of $47.1 million at March 31, 2001 and $41.0 million at December 31, 2000
(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 March 31, 2001 and December
31, 2000 include $125.3 million, for each respective quarter end, of FHLB stock
which is insensitive to market fluctuations.
Interest-sensitive assets, net of interest-sensitive liabilities, when impacted
by an instantaneous 100 basis point rate decrease results in a projected
increase in net market value of $19.7 million at March 31, 2001 compared to a
projected increase in net market value of $21.6 million at December 31, 2000.
These changes in net market value represent 0.18% of interest-sensitive assets
at March 31, 2001 and 0.21% of interest-sensitive assets at December 31, 2000.
Interest-sensitive assets, net of interest- sensitive liabilities, when impacted
by an instantaneous 100 basis point rate increase results in a projected
decrease in net market value of $82.3 million at March 31, 2001 compared to a
projected decrease in net market value of $67.0 million at December 31, 2000.
These changes in net market value represent 0.77% of interest-sensitive assets
at March 31, 2001 and 0.66% of interest-sensitive assets at December 31, 2000.
Based on Webster's asset/liability mix at March 31, 2001, simulation analyses
project that an instantaneous 100 basis point increase in interest rates would
decrease net interest income over the next twelve months by approximately 4.0%.
An instantaneous 100 basis point decrease in interest rates would increase net
interest income by approximately 0.4%.
24
WEBSTER FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
These assumptions are inherently uncertain and, as a result, the simulation
analyses cannot precisely estimate the impact that higher or lower rate
environments will have on net interest income. Actual results will differ from
simulated results due to timing, magnitude and frequency of interest rate
changes, changes in cash flow patterns and market conditions, as well as changes
in management's strategies. Management believes that Webster's interest-rate
risk position at March 31, 2001, represents a reasonable level of risk.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Bank is required to maintain sufficient liquidity to ensure its safe and
sound operation. As required by recent legislation, the OTS recently deleted its
requirement that federal savings associations maintain a certain minimum level
of liquid assets. Instead, adequate liquidity is assessed by the OTS on a
case-by-case basis by reviewing such factors as the institution's overall
asset/liability structure, market conditions, competition and the nature of the
institution's activities. 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 $2.1 billion at
March 31, 2001. At that date, the Bank had FHLB advances outstanding of $1.8
billion compared to $2.4 billion at December 31, 2000.
On January 15, 2001, Webster Preferred Capital Corporation ("WPCC") a subsidiary
of the Bank redeemed all outstanding shares of its Series A Preferred Stock
which had a redemption value of $40.0 million. WPCC had sufficient cash to
redeem the stock without outside funding. WPCC expects sufficient cash flow from
mortgage 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 $100.0 million in revolving lines of credit with
correspondent banks.
During the first quarter of 2001, Webster repurchased a total of 42,560 shares
of its common stock. The total cost of the repurchased shares was $1.2 million
with an average per share cost of approximately $27.99.
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 March 31, 2001, the Bank was in full compliance with all applicable capital
requirements.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
COMPARISON OF THE THREE MONTH PERIOD ENDED MARCH 31, 2001 AND 2000.
GENERAL
Net income for the three month period ended March 31, 2001, was $27.0 million or
$.54 per diluted share compared to $26.8 million or $.61 per diluted share for
the same period ended March 31, 2000. In general, the increase in net interest
income and noninterest income of $23.3 million was mostly offset by increased
noninterest expenses of $16.7 million and $3.6 million (net of taxes) of costs
related to the cumulative effect of a change in the method of accounting (SFAS
No. 133 implementation) and an extraordinary item which represents expenses
incurred for the early extinguishment of debt. Noninterest expenses for the
current quarter also included $3.7 million of costs for branch reconfiguration
expenses.
NET INTEREST INCOME
Net interest income for the three month period ended March 31, 2001, amounted to
$87.7 million compared to $76.3 million for the respective period in 2000. Total
interest income for the current year three month period compared to the same
period in 2000 increased $27.0 million while total interest expense increased
$15.5 million. The increase in net interest income for the three month period
ending March 31, 2001 compared to the same period a year earlier was due
primarily to purchase acquisitions completed subsequent to March 31, 2000. Net
interest-rate spread for the three month period ended March 31, 2001 was 3.23%
compared to 3.10% for the same period in the previous year. Net interest margin
was $3.35% for the current quarter period and 3.22% for the same period one year
earlier.
INTEREST INCOME
Total interest income for the three month periods ended March 31, 2001 and 2000
was $196.6 million and $169.6 million, respectively. The increase in total
interest income for the current year period is 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 are compared, average loans and
leases increased $864.4 million and the yield increased 31 basis points over the
prior year period. Average investment securities and interest-bearing deposits
increased $267.7 million for the current year three month period and the yield
increased 32 basis points over the prior year period.
INTEREST EXPENSE
Total interest expense for the three month period ended March 31, 2001, was
$108.9 million compared to $93.4 million for the previous year period. The rate
paid on interest-bearing liabilities for the three month period ended March 31,
2001 was 4.32% as compared to 4.11% for the same period one year earlier. The
increase in total interest expense for the current three month period as
compared to one year earlier, is primarily due to a higher volume of average
interest-bearing liabilities of $1.0 billion and higher costs on both deposits
and borrowings of six basis points.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES
The provision for loan and lease losses was $3.2 million for the three month
period ended March 31, 2001 compared to $2.2 million for the same period in
2000. The increase for 2001 is attributable to the increase in gross loans, and
a shift within the loan portfolio to a higher concentration of commercial loans.
At March 31, 2001, the allowance for loan and lease losses totaled $95.0 million
and represented 201.5% of nonaccrual loans and leases as compared to $90.8
million and 221.3% respectively, at December 31, 2000. At March 31, 2001 and
December 31, 2000, the allowance for loan and lease losses represented 1.33% and
1.31% of gross outstanding loans and leases, respectively.
NONINTEREST INCOME
Total noninterest income for the three month period ended March 31, 2001 and
2000 totaled $39.5 million and $27.6 million, respectively. Gains on the sale of
loans and loan servicing and securities contributed $4.4 million to total
noninterest income for the period ended March 31, 2001. When the three month
periods are compared, increased income for the current period of $11.9 million
is due to an increase of $3.5 million in fees and service charges, $4.5 million
in financial advisory services and $1.3 million in insurance commissions due
primarily to acquisitions completed subsequent to March 31, 2000 and $1.2
million in net gains on the sale of securities and $1.0 million of other
noninterest income.

INCOME TAXES
Total income tax expense for the three month period ended March 31, 2001 and
2000 was $13.4 million and $13.3 million, respectively. The tax expense for the
period ended March 31, 2001 included tax benefits totaling $1.8 million for the
tax effect on the extraordinary item and the cumulative change in the method of
accounting. The effective tax rate for both periods was approximately 33%. Tax
expense for the current year three month period is higher than the corresponding
prior year periods primarily due to a higher level of income before taxes.

Investment Company ("PIC"). PICs are exempt from state income
