The accompanying financial statements of Webster Preferred Capital Corporation
(the "Company") include all adjustments, which are, in the opinion of
management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim
periods presented. All adjustments were of a normal recurring nature. The
results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30,
2001 are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the
year as a whole. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's 2000 Annual
Report to shareholders. The Company has no subsidiaries. The Company has no
changes in or disagreements with its outside accountants on accounting and
financial disclosures.

All mortgage-backed securities have an original contractual maturity of over 10
years. The weighted average expected yield at September 30, 2001 is 6.68%.
Although the stated final maturity of these obligations are long-term, the
weighted average life is much shorter due to scheduled repayments and
unscheduled prepayments. Gains and losses on the sales of securities are
recorded using the specific identification method.
There were no sales of mortgage-backed securities during the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2001. For the nine months ended September 30, 2000,
there was a sale of a mortgage-backed security, to an unaffiliated third party,
resulting in a net gain of $94,000.

NOTE 4: SERVICING
The mortgage loans owned by the Company are serviced by Webster Bank pursuant to
the terms of a servicing agreement. Webster Bank in its role as servicer under
the terms of the servicing agreement is herein referred to as the "Servicer."
The Servicer receives fees at an annual rate of (i) 8 basis points for
fixed-rate loan servicing and collection, (ii) 8 basis points for variable-rate
loan servicing and collection and (iii) 5 basis points for all other services to
be provided, as needed, in each case based on the daily outstanding balances of
all the Company's loans for which the Servicer is responsible. The Company
estimates that the fees paid to Webster Bank for servicing approximate fees that
would be paid if the Company operated as an unaffiliated entity.
The Servicer is entitled to retain any late payment charges, prepayment fees,
penalties and assumption fees collected in connection with mortgage loans
serviced by it. The Servicer receives the benefit, if any, derived from interest
earned on collected principal and interest payments between the date of
collection and the date of remittance to the Company and from interest earned on
tax and insurance impound funds with respect to mortgage loans serviced by it.
At the end of each calendar month, the Servicer is required to invoice the
Company for all fees and charges due to the Servicer.
NOTE 5: MANDATORILY REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK
The Company redeemed all outstanding Series A Preferred Shares on January 15,
2001 as required, at a redemption price of $1,000 per share, plus accrued and
unpaid dividends.

WEBSTER PREFERRED CAPITAL CORPORATION
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GENERAL
- -------
The Company is a subsidiary of Webster Bank and was incorporated in March 1997
to provide a cost-effective means of raising funds, including capital, on a
consolidated basis for Webster Bank. Total assets at September 30, 2001 and
December 31, 2000 were $923.8 million and $968.2 million, respectively,
consisting primarily of residential mortgage loans and mortgage-backed
securities.
The Company has elected to be treated as a real estate investment trust ("REIT")
under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code"), and will generally not be
subject to federal income tax for as long as it maintains its qualification as a
REIT, requiring among other things, that it currently distribute to stockholders
at least 90% of its "REIT taxable income" (not including capital gains and
certain items of noncash income). Webster Bank also benefits significantly from
state tax treatment of dividends paid by the Company as a result of its
qualification as a REIT. The following discussion of the Company's financial
condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the
Company's financial statements and other financial data included elsewhere
herein.
CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION
- ------------------------------
Total assets, consisting primarily of residential mortgage loans and
mortgage-backed securities, were $923.8 million at September 30, 2001, a
decrease of $44.4 million from $968.2 million at December 31, 2000. The decrease
in total net loans of $113.9 million and interest-bearing deposits of $23.2
million was offset by an increase in mortgage-backed securities of $91.1
million. The difference between the decrease in loans and interest-bearing
deposits and the increase in mortgage-backed securities is primarily
attributable to the $40.0 million redemption of the Series A Preferred Stock and
the $50.0 million payment of a common stock dividend, offset by net income of
$43.7 million. Shareholders' equity was $923.6 million at September 30, 2001 and
$927.3 million at December 31, 2000.
ASSET QUALITY
- -------------
The Company maintains asset quality by acquiring residential real estate loans
that have been conservatively underwritten, aggressively managing nonaccrual
assets and maintaining adequate reserve coverage. At September 30, 2001,
residential real estate loans comprised the entire loan portfolio. The Company
also invests in mortgage-backed securities.
The following table details the Company's nonperforming assets at September 30,
2001 and December 31, 2000:
September 30, December 31,
(In Thousands) 2001 2000
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Loans accounted for on a nonaccrual basis:
Residential fixed-rate loans $194 $231
Residential variable-rate loans 346 186
OREO properties 88 288
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total nonperforming assets $628 $705
================================================================================
The aggregate amount of nonaccrual loans was $540,000 at September 30, 2001. At
September 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, the allowance for loan losses was
approximately $2.1 million, and $2.1 million, respectively or 396% and 494% of
nonaccrual loans, respectively. Management believes that the allowance for loan
losses is adequate to cover expected losses in the portfolio.
9
WEBSTER PREFERRED CAPITAL CORPORATION
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------
The primary sources of liquidity for the Company are net cash flows from
operating activities, investing activities and financing activities. Net cash
flows from operating activities primarily include net income, net changes in
prepaid expenses and other assets, accrued interest receivable and adjustments
for noncash items such as amortization on deferred fees and premiums, and
mortgage-backed securities net amortization and accretion. Net cash flows from
investing activities primarily include the purchase and repayments of
residential real estate loans and mortgage backed securities that are classified
as available for sale. Net cash flows from financing activities primarily
include net changes in capital generally related to stock issuances, capital
contributions from Webster Bank and dividend payments.
While scheduled loan amortization, maturing securities, short-term investments
and securities repayments are predictable sources of funds, loan and
mortgage-backed security prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest
rates, economic conditions and competition. One of the inherent risks of
investing in loans and mortgage-backed securities is the ability of such
instruments to incur prepayments of principal prior to maturity at prepayment
rates different than those estimated at the time of purchase. This generally
occurs because of changes in market interest rates.
The Series A Preferred Stock, which was redeemed on January 15, 2001, was
payable at the rate of 7.375% per annum (an amount equal to $73.75 per annum per
share). Dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock are payable at the rate of
8.625% per annum (an amount equal to $.8625 per annum per share), in all cases
if, when and as declared by the Board of Directors of the Company. Dividends on
the preferred shares are cumulative and, if declared, payable on January 15,
April 15, July 15 and October 15 in each year. The Company periodically makes
dividend payments on its common stock in accordance with Company by-laws. Common
stock dividends are paid to comply with REIT qualification rules. REIT
qualification rules require that 90% of net taxable income for the year be
distributed to shareholders. In January 2001, the Company declared and paid a
$50 million dividend to its common shareholder, after the declaration of all
required preferred stock dividends by the Board of Directors of the Company.
ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT
- --------------------------
The goal of the Company's asset/liability management policy is to manage
interest-rate risk so as to maximize net interest income over time in changing
interest-rate environments while maintaining acceptable levels of market risk.
The Company prepares estimates of the level of prepayments and the effect of
such prepayments on the level of future earnings due to reinvestment of funds at
rates different than those that currently exist. The Company is unable to
predict future fluctuations in interest rates. The market values of the
Company's financial assets are sensitive to fluctuations in market interest
rates. The market values of fixed-rate loans and mortgage-backed securities tend
to decline in value as interest rates rise. If interest rates decrease, the
market value of loans and mortgage-backed securities generally will tend to
increase with the level of prepayments also normally increasing. The interest
income earned on the Company's variable-rate interest-sensitive instruments,
which represent primarily variable-rate mortgage loans, may change due to
changes in quoted interest-rate indices. The variable-rate mortgage loans
generally reprice based on a stated margin over U.S. Treasury Securities indices
of varying maturities, the terms of which are established at the time that the
loan is closed. At September 30, 2001, 53.9% of the Company's residential
mortgage loans were variable-rate loans.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001, the Company reported net
income of $14.4 million and $43.7 million, respectively, or $142,150 and
$430,410, respectively, per common share on a diluted basis, compared to the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2000 which amounted to $15.4 million
and $46.3 million, respectively, or $152,330 and $456,210, respectively, per
common share on a diluted basis.
Total interest income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001
amounted to $14.5 million and $44.1 million, respectively, net of servicing
fees, compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000 which
amounted to $16.4 million and $49.0 million, respectively. The following table
shows the major categories of average interest-earning assets, their respective
interest income and the yields earned by the Company:

======================================================================================================================
The provision for loan losses for the three and nine months ended September 30,
2001, amounted to $30,000 and $90,000 respectively, compared to $30,000 and
$160,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000. The changes in
the provision for loan losses are reflective of management's analysis of asset
quality and size of the mortgage loan portfolio.
Noninterest expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001
amounted to $59,000 and $321,000 respectively, compared to the noninterest
expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000 which amounted
to $890,000 and $2.6 million, respectively. The Series A redemption on January
15, 2001 reduced noninterest expenses by $738,000 and $2.1 million in the three
and nine months ended September 30, 2001, respectively. No income tax expense
was recorded for either three or nine month periods ended September 30, 2001 and
2000.
RECENT FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
- -------------------------------------
In September 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("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
11
WEBSTER PREFERRED CAPITAL CORPORATION
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 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,
early or retroactive application is not permitted. The Company implemented SFAS
140 effective April 1, 2001 without any material impact on its financial
statements.
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities." This statement establishes accounting and
reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative
instruments imbedded 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 implemented SFAS 133 effective January 1, 2001
without any material impact on its financial statements.
On August 16, 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143 "Accounting for Asset
Retirement Obligations." Statement 143 addresses financial accounting and
reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived
assets and the associated asset retirement costs. Statement 143 applies to all
entities. This Statement requires that the fair value of a liability for an
asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred
if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The associated asset
retirement costs are capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the
long-lived asset. Under this Statement, the liability is discounted and the
accretion expense is recognized using the credit-adjusted risk-free interest
rate in effect when the liability was initially recognized. The FASB issued this
Statement to provide consistency for the accounting and reporting of liabilities
associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated
asset retirement costs. This Statement is effective for financial statements
issued for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. Earlier application is
permitted. The Company does not expect any material impact on its financial
statements when this Statement is adopted.
On October 3, 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144 "Accounting for the Impairment
or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets". This Statement addresses financial accounting
and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. This
Statement supersedes SFAS No. 121 "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived
Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of." This Statement also
supersedes the accounting and reporting provisions of APB Opinion No. 30
"Reporting the Results of Operations-Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a
Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring
Events and Transactions." The changes in this Statement improve financial
reporting by requiring that one accounting model be used for long-lived assets
to be disposed of by broadening the presentation of discontinued operations to
include more disposal transactions. This Statement is effective for financial
statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001 and interim
periods within those fiscal years. The provisions of this Statement are to be
applied prospectively. The Company does not expect any material impact on its
financial statements when this Statement is adopted.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
- ----------------------------------------------------------
The following table summarizes the estimated market value of the Company's
interest-sensitive assets and interest-sensitive liabilities at September 30,
2001 and December 31, 2000 and the projected change to market values if interest
rates instantaneously increase or decrease by 100 basis points.

AT DECEMBER 31, 2000
Interest Sensitive Assets:
Mortgage-backed securities $ 76,573 $ 76,927 $ 3,156 $ (2,309)
Variable-rate residential loans 436,880 440,356 2,779 (10,848)

Interest-Sensitive Liabilities:

- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total net assets $ 807,245 $ 810,385 $ 11,793 $ (19,730)
======================================================================================================================
Interest-sensitive assets, net of interest-sensitive liabilities, when impacted
by an instantaneous 100 basis point rate decrease resulted in a projected
increase in net market value of $18.3 million at September 30, 2001 compared to
a projected increase in net market value of $11.8 million at December 31, 2000.
These changes in net market value represent 2.17% of interest-sensitive assets
at September 30, 2001 and 1.39% 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 resulted in a
projected decrease in net market value of $28.0 million at September 30, 2001
compared to a projected decrease in net market value of $19.7 million at
December 31, 2000. These changes in net market value represent 3.33% of
interest-sensitive assets at September 30, 2001 and 2.32% of interest-sensitive
assets at December 31, 2000. Changes in the projected net market value due to an
instantaneous 100 basis point rate increase or decrease when comparing such
amounts at September 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000 are a result of changes in
outstanding balances of the assets, an overall decline in market interest rates
and the redemption of Series A Preferred Stock in 2001.
Based on the Company's asset/liability mix at September 30, 2001, simulation
analyses project that an instantaneous 100 basis point increase in interest
rates would increase net interest income over the next twelve months by
approximately 2.6%. An instantaneous 100 basis point decrease in interest rates
would decrease net interest income by approximately 2.6%.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In particular, the Company's interest rate sensitive assets are subject to
prepayment risk. Prepayment risk is inherently difficult to estimate and is
dependent upon a number of economic, financial and behavioral variables. The
Company uses a sophisticated mortgage prepayment modeling system to estimate
prepayments and the corresponding impact on market value and net interest
income. The model uses information that includes the instrument type, coupon
spread, loan age and other factors in its projections.
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 the Company's interest-rate
risk position at September 30, 2001, represents a reasonable level of risk.
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
- --------------------------
This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Actual results, performance or
developments may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such
forward-looking statements as a result of market uncertainties and other
factors. Some important factors that would cause actual results to differ from
those in any forward-looking statements include changes in interest rates and
the general economy in the Connecticut market area where a substantial portion
of the real estate securing the Company's loans are located. Such developments
could have an adverse impact on the Company's financial position and results of
operations. An example of such a forward-looking statement is the "Quantitative
and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk" section in Management's
Discussion and Analysis.
