NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
-----------------------------------------------------
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements 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, 1997, 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 restated Webster Financial Corporation 1996 Annual
Report to shareholders. The consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of Webster Financial Corporation ("Webster") and its wholly owned
subsidiary, Webster Bank (the "Bank").
On January 31, 1997, and July 31, 1997, Webster acquired DS Bancor, Inc.
("Derby") and People's Savings Financial Corporation ("Peoples"), respectively,
through merger transactions. The transactions were accounted for as a pooling of
interests, and accordingly, the financial statements as of and for periods prior
to the Derby and Peoples transactions have been restated to reflect the
combinations. On August 1, 1997, Webster completed its acquisition of Sachem
Trust National Association ("Sachem"). The transaction was accounted for as a
purchase and therefore, periods prior to the merger date have not been restated.
NOTE 2 - SECURITIES
----------
Securities with fixed maturities that are classified as Held to Maturity
are carried at cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of
discounts over the estimated terms of the securities utilizing a method which
approximates the level yield method. Securities that management intends to hold
for indefinite periods of time (including securities that management intends to
use as part of its asset/liability strategy, or that may be sold in response to
changes in interest rates, changes in prepayment risk, the need to increase
regulatory capital or other similar factors) are classified as Available for
Sale. All Equity Securities are classified as Available for Sale. Securities
Available for Sale are carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses
recorded as adjustments to shareholders' equity on a tax effected basis.
Securities classified as Trading Securities are carried at fair value with
unrealized gains and losses included in earnings. Gains and losses on the sales
of securities are recorded using the specific identification method.

NOTE 3 - NET INCOME PER SHARE
--------------------
Primary net income per share is calculated by dividing net income less
preferred stock dividends by the weighted-average number of shares of common
stock and common stock equivalents outstanding, when dilutive. The common stock
equivalents consist of common stock options and warrants. Fully diluted net
income per share is calculated by dividing adjusted net income by the
weighted-average fully diluted common shares, including the effect of common
stock equivalents and, for the year to date period, the hypothetical conversion
into common stock of the Series B 7 1/2% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock
("Series B Stock"). There was no Series B Stock outstanding during the third
quarter of 1997. The weighted-average number of shares used in the computation
of primary net income per share for the three and nine months ended September
30, 1997, were 14,033,226 and 13,880,236, respectively, and for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 1996, were 13,605,509 and 13,565,666,
respectively. The weighted-average number of shares used in the computation of
fully diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September
30, 1997, were 14,098,213 and 14,070,469, respectively, and for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 1996, were 14,593,529 and 14,631,507
respectively.

NOTE 5 - REVERSE REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS

At September 30, 1997, Webster had short term borrowings through reverse
repurchase agreements outstanding. Information concerning borrowings under
reverse repurchase agreements is summarized below (dollars in thousands):

The securities underlying the reverse repurchase agreements are all U.S.
Agency collateral and have been delivered to the broker-dealers who arrange the
transactions. Webster uses reverse repurchase agreements when the cost of such
borrowings is less than other funding sources. The quarterly average balance and
the maximum amount of outstanding reverse repurchase agreements at any month-end
during the 1997 third quarter period were $472.5 million and $676.0 million,
respectively. The total balance for reverse repurchase agreements outstanding at
December 31, 1996, was $99.1 million.

NOTE 6 - 1997 ACQUISITION COSTS
----------------------
In connection with the acquisitions of Derby and Peoples, that were
completed on January 31, 1997 and July 31, 1997, respectively, Webster recorded
approximately $27.1 million of merger-related charges. Additionally, Webster
recorded increases of $5.6 million and $1.5 million to the provision for loan
losses related to the acquisition of Derby and Peoples, respectively, for
conformity to Webster's credit policies. In connection with the acquisition of
Sachem on August 1, 1997, Webster recorded costs that did not impact the
statements of income as that transaction was recorded as a purchase transaction.
The following table presents a summary of the merger-related accrued
liabilities (in thousands):

The remaining accrued liability of $11.1 million represents, for the most
part, an accrual for data processing contract termination costs payable over a
future period, the estimated loss on sale of excess fixed assets due to
consolidation of overlapping branch locations and compensation costs related to
severance.
NOTE 7 - ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
--------------------
In September 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Boards ("FASB")
issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, ("SFAS")
"Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information." This
statement establishes standards for the method in which public business
enterprises report information about operating segments in annual financial
statements and requires that those enterprises report selected information about
operating segments in interim reports issued to shareholders. This statement
requires that public business enterprises report quantitative and qualitative
information about its reportable segments, including profit or loss, certain
specific revenue and expense items and segment assets. This statement also
requires reconciliations of total segment revenues, total segment profit or
loss, total segment assets and other amounts disclosed for segments to
corresponding amounts in the consolidated financial statements. This statement
is effective for financial statements for periods beginning after December 15,
1997 and in the initial year of application, comparative information for earlier
years is required.
In September 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive
Income." This statement establishes standards for reporting and display of
comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general purpose
financial statements. The objective of this statement is to report a measure of
all changes in equity of an enterprise that result from transactions and other
economic events of the period other than transactions with owners. Comprehensive
income is the total of net income and all other non-owner changes in equity.
This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997
and reclassification of financial statements of earlier periods for comparative
purposes is required.

NOTE 7 - ACCOUNTING STANDARDS (continued)
--------------------
In February 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 129, "Disclosure of Information
about Capital Structure." This statement establishes standards for disclosing
information about an entity's capital structure. This statement is effective for
financial statements issued for periods ending after December 15, 1997.
In February 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share." This
statement simplifies the standards for computing and presenting earnings per
share previously found in APB Opinion No. 15 and makes them comparable to
international standards. It replaces the presentation of primary earnings per
share with a presentation of basic earnings per share and requires dual
presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share on the face of the income
statement for all entities with complex capital structures. Diluted earnings per
share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1997 were $.69 and $1.35
respectively. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for
periods ending after December 15, 1997, including interim periods.
NOTE 8 - CONVERSION OF CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK
-----------------------------------------
During the month of January 1997, preferred stockholders converted the
remaining 98,084 shares of Series B Stock into 563,002 shares of common stock.

On January 30, 1997, Webster completed the sale of $100 million of Webster
Capital Trust I Capital Securities. Webster Capital Trust I is a business trust
formed for the purpose of issuing capital securities and investing the proceeds
in junior subordinated debentures issued by Webster and due 2027. The sole
assets of the Trust are the junior subordinated debentures. Interest payments on
the debentures are tax deductible by Webster. The securities have an annual
interest rate of 9.36%, payable semiannually, beginning July 29, 1997.
NOTE 10 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
-----------------
On October 27, 1997, Webster announced a definitive agreement to acquire
Eagle Financial Corp. ("Eagle"), on a stock for stock basis in a tax-free
exchange fixed at 0.84 shares of Webster common stock for each share of Eagle
common stock. At the time of the announcement, Eagle had approximately $2.1
billion in total assets, $1.1 billion in loans, net and $1.4 billion in deposits
and operated 30 branches. Subsequent to the acquisition, Webster will have
approximately $8.9 billion in total assets and over 110 branch offices prior to
the consolidation of overlapping branches. Webster anticipates recognizing
acquisition related charges of approximately $18.9 million on a before tax
basis.
The definitive agreement has been approved by both companies' boards of
directors and is subject to the approval of Webster's and Eagle's stockholders
and the appropriate regulatory agencies. Webster expects the transaction to
close during the first quarter of 1998.

GENERAL
- -------
Webster Financial Corporation ("Webster" ), through its subsidiary, Webster
Bank, (the "Bank") delivers financial services to individuals, families and
businesses located throughout Connecticut. Webster Bank emphasizes four business
lines consumer, business, mortgage banking, and trust and investment management
services each supported by centralized administration and operations. The
Corporation has grown significantly in recent years, primarily through a series
of acquisitions which have expanded and strengthened its franchise. Webster
currently serves customers from 84 full service banking offices located in
Hartford, New Haven, Fairfield, Litchfield and Middlesex counties in
Connecticut.
CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION
- ------------------------------
Total assets were $6.8 billion at September 30, 1997, an increase of $1.2
billion from $5.6 billion at December 31, 1996. The change in total assets is
due primarily to a net increase in securities of approximately $1.0 billion and
increases in net loans and interest-bearing deposits of $90.0 million and $85.6
million, respectively. The increases were funded, in part, by borrowings and by
the capital securities issued in January 1997, as discussed below.
Net Segregated Assets decreased to $44.8 million at September 30, 1997,
from $75.7 million at December 31, 1996, due primarily to the bulk sale of
approximately $13.7 million of multi-family loans. Principal repayments and net
charge-offs totaled approximately $12.8 million and $4.4 million, respectively.
Total net foreclosed properties were $11.0 million at September 30, 1997,
compared to $13.2 million at December 31, 1996. The net decrease in foreclosed
properties of $2.2 million for the current nine month period was primarily
attributable to sales of $12.6 million and valuation write downs of $6.6 million
that were offset by additions of $17.0 million.
Total liabilities were $6.3 billion at September 30, 1997, an increase of
$1.0 billion from $5.3 billion at December 31, 1996. The increase in total
liabilities for the current period is due primarily to a net increase in
borrowings of $1.3 billion that was partially offset by a decrease of $192.6
million in deposits.
On January 30, 1997, Webster completed the sale of $100 million of Webster
Capital Trust I Capital Securities. Webster Capital Trust I is a business trust
formed for the purpose of issuing capital securities and investing the proceeds
in junior subordinated debentures, issued by Webster and due 2027. Interest
payments on the debentures are tax deductible by Webster. The securities have an
annual interest rate of 9.36%, payable semiannually, beginning July 29, 1997.
Shareholders' equity was $363.6 million at September 30, 1997 and $336.8
million at December 31, 1996. At September 30, 1997, the Bank had Tier 1
leveraged, Tier 1 risk-based, and Total risk-based capital ratios of 5.74%,
12.43% and 13.69%, respectively. The Bank continues to meet the regulatory
capital requirements to be categorized as a "well capitalized" institution at
September 30, 1997.
ASSET QUALITY
- -------------
Webster devotes significant attention to maintaining high asset quality
through conservative underwriting standards, active servicing of loans,
aggressively managing nonperforming assets and maintaining adequate reserve
coverage on nonaccrual assets. At September 30, 1997, residential and consumer
loans comprised approximately 88% of the loan portfolio. All fixed income
securities must have an investment rating in the top two rating categories by a
major rating service at time of purchase. Unless otherwise noted, the
information set forth concerning loans, nonaccrual loans, foreclosed properties
and allowances for loan losses excludes Segregated Assets which are discussed
separately.

========= ========
Under the Purchase and Assumption Agreement with the FDIC relating to the
First Constitution Acquisition, during the first five years after October 2,
1992 (the "Acquisition Date"), the FDIC is required to reimburse Webster
quarterly for 80% of all net charge-offs (i.e., the excess of charge-offs over
recoveries) and certain permitted expenses related to the Segregated Assets
acquired by Webster.
During the sixth and seventh years after the Acquisition Date, Webster is
required to pay quarterly to the FDIC an amount equal to 80% of the recoveries
during such years on Segregated Assets which were previously charged-off after
deducting certain permitted expenses related to those assets. Webster is
entitled to retain 20% of such recoveries during the sixth and seventh years
following the Acquisition Date and 100% thereafter.
Upon termination of the seven-year period after the Acquisition Date, if
the sum of net charge-offs on Segregated Assets for the first five years after
the Acquisition Date plus permitted expenses during the entire seven-year
period, less any recoveries during the sixth and seventh year on Segregated
Assets charged off during the first five years, exceeds $49.2 million, the FDIC
is required to pay Webster an additional 15% of any such excess over $49.2
million at the end of the seventh year. At September 30, 1997, cumulative net
charge-offs aggregated $58.4 million.
Gross Segregated Assets decreased $3.3 million during the 1997 third
quarter period due primarily to principal repayments. During the first nine
months of the 1997 period, Webster received reimbursements for net charge-offs
and eligible expenses on Segregated Assets aggregating $4.3 million. A
reimbursement request totaling $164,000 has been submitted to the FDIC for the
1997 third quarter period.

ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT
- --------------------------
The goal of Webster's asset/liability 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 risk. Webster must provide
for sufficient liquidity for daily operations while maintaining mandated
regulatory liquidity levels. To this end, Webster's strategies for managing
interest-rate risk are responsive to changes in the interest-rate environment
and market demands for particular types of deposit and loan products. Management
measures interest-rate risk using duration, GAP and simulation analysis with
particular emphasis on measuring changes in the market value of equity and
changes in net interest income in different interest-rate environments. The
simulation analyses incorporate assumptions about balance sheet changes such as
asset and liability growth, loan and deposit pricing and changes due to the mix
and maturity of such assets and liabilities. From such simulations, interest
rate risk is quantified and appropriate strategies are formulated.
As part of its asset/liability management strategy, Webster utilizes
various interest rate instruments including short futures positions, interest
rate swaps, interest rate caps and interest rate floors. Webster holds short
futures positions to minimize the price volatility of certain adjustable rate
assets held as Trading Securities. Changes in the market value of the short
futures positions and trading securities are recognized as a gain or loss in the
consolidated statements of income in the period for which the change occurred.
Interest rate caps, interest rate floors and interest rate swaps are
entered into as hedges against future interest rate fluctuations. Webster does
not trade in speculative interest rate contracts. Those agreements meeting the
criteria for hedge accounting treatment are designated as hedges and are
accounted for as such. If a contract is terminated, any unrecognized gain or
loss is deferred and amortized as an adjustment to the yield of the related
asset or liability over the remainder of the period that was being hedged. If
the linked asset or liability is disposed of prior to the end of the period
being managed, the related interest rate contract is marked to fair value, with
any resulting gain or loss recognized in current period income as an adjustment
to the gain or loss on the disposal of the related asset or liability. Interest
income or expense associated with interest rate caps and swaps is recorded as a
component of net interest income. Interest rate instruments that hedge available
for sale assets are marked to fair value monthly with adjustments to
shareholders' equity on a tax effected basis.

Based on Webster's asset/liability mix at September 30, 1997, management's
sensitivity analysis of the effects of changing interest rates estimates that an
instantaneous +/-100 basis point change in interest rates would change net
interest income over the next twelve months by less than 4.2%. The above
estimated market values are subject to factors that could cause actual results
to differ from such projections and estimates.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------
Under regulations of the Office of Thrift Supervision, Webster Bank is
required to maintain assets which are readily marketable in an amount equal to
5% or more of its net withdrawable deposits plus short-term borrowings. At
September 30, 1997, Webster Bank had a liquidity ratio of 7.5% and was in
compliance with the applicable regulations. Webster Bank had mortgage
commitments outstanding of $89.4 million, non-mortgage commitments of $16.3
million, unused home equity credit lines of $269.6 million, available credit
card lines of $90.0 million and commercial lines and letters of credit of $100.0

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------
COMPARISON OF THE THREE AND NINE MONTH PERIODS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 AND
SEPTEMBER 30, 1996
GENERAL
- -------
Net income for the three month period ended September 30, 1997, excluding
non-recurring expenses, was $14.7 million, or $1.05 per fully diluted share
compared to $11.0 million or $.75 per fully diluted share for the same period in
1996. Net income for the nine month period ended September 30, 1997, excluding
non-recurring expenses, was $39.0 million, or $2.77 per fully diluted share
compared to $30.9 million, or $2.11 per fully diluted share for the same period
in 1996. Including the non-recurring after tax charges of $5.0 million related
to Webster's acquisition of Peoples, Webster reported net income of $9.7 million
or $0.69 per fully diluted share for the 1997 third quarter period, compared to
$8.2 million or $0.56 per fully diluted share for the respective 1996 period.
Including the non-recurring after tax charges of $20.0 million related to
Webster's acquisitions of Derby and Peoples, Webster reported net income of
$19.0 million or $1.35 per fully diluted share for the nine months of 1997,
compared to $27.9 million or $1.90 per fully diluted share for the respective
1996 period. Results for the nine months of 1996 included $290,000 of after tax
non-recurring conversion costs related to the 20 branches acquired from Shawmut
Bank Connecticut N.A. (the "Shawmut Transaction") and $2.7 million of after tax
non-recurring costs related to a one-time charge by the FDIC for
recapitalization of the SAIF Fund.
NET INTEREST INCOME
- -------------------
Net interest income for the three and nine month periods ended September
30, 1997, amounted to $49.6 million and $143.6 million, respectively, compared
to $43.8 million and $125.0 million for the respective periods in 1996. The
increases for the current year period are primarily attributable to a higher
volume of average interest-earning assets. The net interest rate spread for the
three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1997, were 3.03% and 3.10%,
respectively, compared to 3.10% and 3.08% for the same respective periods in
1996. The decrease in interest rate spread for the 1997 three month period as
compared to the same respective period in 1996, reflects a higher cost of funds
that more than offset an increased yield on interest-earning assets.
INTEREST INCOME
- ---------------
Interest income for the three and nine month periods ended September 30,
1997, amounted to $116.1 million and $326.4 million, respectively, compared to
$98.8 million and $286.6 million, respectively, for the comparable periods in
1996. The increases for the three and nine month periods in the current year are
due primarily to a higher volume of average interest-earning assets, which were
$6.3 billion and $5.9 billion, respectively, for the 1997 periods and $5.4
billion and $5.2 billion, respectively, for the 1996 periods. An increase in the
yield on interest-earning assets for the current quarter period was also a
contributing factor to the overall increase in interest income. When the nine
month periods are compared, the yield on interest-earning assets decreased
slightly in the current year period due to a higher volume of lower yielding
securities. The yield on interest-earning assets for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 1997, was 7.40% and 7.36%, respectively, compared to 7.35%
and 7.39%, respectively, for the same periods of the previous year.
INTEREST EXPENSE
- ----------------
Interest expense for the three and nine month periods ended September 30,
1997, amounted to $66.5 million and $182.9 million, respectively, compared to
$55.1 million and $161.5 million for the same periods in 1996. The increases for
the current periods are due primarily to increases in average borrowings, which
were $1.7 billion and $1.3 billion, respectively, for the three and nine month
current year periods compared to $598.3 million and $677.4 million,
respectively, for the 1996 periods. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities
increased to 4.37% for the three months ended September 30, 1997, as compared to
4.25% for the same period in 1996. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities
decreased to 4.26% for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, compared to
4.31% for the respective 1996 period. Interest expense on borrowings for the
three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1997, amounted to $24.8 million
and $56.2 million, respectively, compared to $11.8 million and $31.2 million,
respectively, for the same periods in 1996.

million and represented 136.6% of nonaccrual loans, compared to $43.4 million
and 108.6%, respectively a year earlier.
NONINTEREST INCOME
- ------------------
Noninterest income for the three and nine month periods ended September 30,
1997, amounted to $9.7 million and $25.7 million, respectively, compared to $8.2
million and $22.7 million, respectively, for the same periods in 1996. The
increases in noninterest income for the three and nine month periods ended
September 30, 1997, compared to the same periods in 1996, are due primarily to
increased income from fees and service charges in the 1997 periods. There were
$1.4 million and $2.4 million of net gains on the sales of securities and loans
for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1997, respectively,
compared to $871,000 and $2.4 million, respectively, for the same periods in
1996.
NONINTEREST EXPENSES
- --------------------
Noninterest expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30,
1997, amounted to $39.8 million and $126.1 million, respectively, compared to
$36.8 million and $97.9 million for the same respective periods in 1996. The
increases in noninterest expenses for the current three and nine month periods
are due primarily to $7.2 million and $27.1 million of non-recurring expenses
related to the acquisitions of Derby and Peoples completed on January 31, 1997
and July 31, 1997, respectively. For the three month period ended September 30,
1997, compared to the same period in 1996, noninterest expenses decreased $1.9
million excluding non-recurring and capital securities expenses. Decreases in
salary and benefits expenses of $578,000 and other operating expenses of $1.2
million were primarily responsible for the overall decrease in the current three
month period. The decrease in salaries and benefits expenses and other operating
expenses is primarily attributed to synergies achieved through acquisitions.
Noninterest expenses for the 1997 and 1996 nine month periods were comparable
after adjusting for non-recurring and capital securities expenses.
INCOME TAXES
- ------------
Total income tax expense for the three and nine month periods ended
September 30, 1997, amounted to $6.3 million and $10.8 million, respectively,
compared to $4.6 million and $15.7 million, respectively, for the same periods
in 1996. Income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 1997,
increased due to a higher level of income before taxes compared to the same
period in 1996. Income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 1997,
decreased as compared to the 1996 period due primarily to lower income before
taxes as a result of non-recurring expenses that were recorded in connection
with the acquisitions of Derby and Peoples.
