All adjustments were of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for the three month period ended March 31, 1999 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 Webster Preferred Capital Corporation 1998 Annual Report to shareholders. NOTE 2: MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES AVAILABLE FOR SALE, AT FAIR VALUE The following table sets forth certain information regarding the mortgage-backed securities: (In Thousands) Mortgage-Backed Securities - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Recorded Value Unrealized Gains Unrealized Estimated March 31, 1999 Losses Fair Value - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Available for Sale Portfolio $ 111,575 $ 923 $ - $ 112,498 =========================================================================================================== Recorded Value Unrealized Gains Unrealized Estimated Deccember 31, 1998 Losses Fair Value - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Available for Sale Portfolio $ 117,146 $ 1,116 $ - $ 118,262 =========================================================================================================== All mortgage-backed securities have a contractual maturity of over 10 years. The weighted average yield at March 31, 1999 is 6.76%. Although the stated final maturity of these obligations are long-term, the weighted average life is much shorter due to scheduled repayments and prepayments. Gains and losses on the sales of securities are recorded using the specific identification method. 6 WEBSTER PREFERRED CAPITAL CORPORATION CONDENSED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 3: RESIDENTIAL MORTGAGE LOANS, NET A summary of the Company's residential mortgage loans, net, follows: March 31, December 31, 1999 1998 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Carrying Carrying (In Thousands) Amount Amount - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fixed-Rate Loans: 15 yr.

Total assets at March 31, 1999 and December 31,1998 were $985.4 million and $971.0 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 95% of its "REIT taxable income" (not including capital gains and certain items of noncash income). The Company and Webster Bank will also benefit significantly from federal and 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 were $985.4 million at March 31, 1999, an increase of $14.4 million from $971.0 million at December 31, 1998. The increase in total assets is primarily attributable to the purchase of additional residential mortgage loans of $80.7 million, offset by loan repayments of $55.3 million and principal collected on mortgage-backed securities of $5.5 million. Shareholders' equity was $943.8 million at March 31, 1999 and $929.7 million at December 31, 1998. ASSET QUALITY The Company maintains high asset quality by acquiring residential real estate loans that have been conservatively underwritten, aggressively managing nonaccrual assets and maintaining adequate reserve coverage. At March 31, 1999, residential real estate loans comprised the entire loan portfolio. The Company also invests in highly rated mortgage-backed securities. The aggregate amount of nonaccrual loans was $766,000 at March 31, 1999. The following table details the Company's nonaccrual loans at March 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998: March 31, December 31, (In Thousands) 1999 1998 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Loans Accounted for on a Nonaccrual Basis: Residential Fixed-Rate Loans $ 59 $ 71 Residential Variable-Rate Loans 707 1,206 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total Nonaccrual Loans $ 766 $ 1,277 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- At March 31, 1999 the allowance for loan losses was approximately $1.7 million, or 218% of nonaccrual assets. 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 market values of fixed-rate loans and mortgage-backed securities are sensitive to fluctuations in market interest rates, declining in value as interest rates rise. If interest rates decrease, the market value of loans generally will tend to increase with the level of prepayments also normally increasing. Dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock are payable at the rate of 7.375% per annum (an amount equal to $73.75 per annum per share), and the 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. 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 risk. The Company must provide for sufficient liquidity for daily operations. 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 and as such the market values of certain of the Company's financial assets are sensitive to fluctuations in market interest rates. Changes in interest rates can affect the value of its loans and other interest-earning assets. At March 31, 1999, 60.9% of the Company's residential mortgage loans were variable-rate loans. The Company's management believes these residential mortgage loans are less likely to incur prepayments of principal. 10 WEBSTER PREFERRED CAPITAL CORPORATION MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- RESULTS OF OPERATIONS For the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, the Company reported net income of $14.5 million and $13.2 million, respectively, or $142,940 and $130,130, respectively, per common share on a diluted basis. Total interest income for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998 amounted to $15.5 million and $14.2 million, respectively, net of servicing fees. The following table shows the major categories of average interest-earning assets, their respective interest income and the rates earned by the Company: THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1999 THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Average Interest Average Average Interest Average (In Thousands) Balance Income Yield Balance Income Yield - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mortgage Loans $808,654 $13,617 6.74% $660,600 $ 11,974 7.25% Mortgage-Backed Securities 113,641 1,791 6.30% 127,884 2,140 6.69% Interest Bearing Deposits 9,749 98 4.02% 3,396 40 6.10% - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total $932,044 $15,506 6.66% $790,470 $ 14,154 7.16% ================================================================================================================== The provision for loan losses for the three months ended March 31, 1999, amounted to $120,000. There was no provision for loan losses for the three months ended March 31, 1998. The provision for loan losses reflects the increase in the total residential mortgage loan portfolio. Noninterest expenses for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998 amounted to $876,000 and $925,000, respectively, and included advisory fees and dividends on Series A Preferred Stock. The reduction in noninterest expenses of $49,000 is primarily due to the write-off of remaining start-up costs in the fourth quarter of 1998. No income tax expense was recorded for either period. RECENT FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued 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. This SFAS is not expected to impact the Company since the Company does not engage in hedging activities or utilize derivative instruments. 11 WEBSTER PREFERRED CAPITAL CORPORATION MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- YEAR 2000 READINESS DISCLOSURE STATEMENT The "Year 2000" issue refers to the potential impact of the failure of computer programs and equipment to give proper recognition of dates beyond December 31, 1999 and other issues related to the Year 2000 century date change. I. The Company's State Of Readiness The Company has assessed the issues regarding Year 2000 and since the Company depends on Webster Bank as Advisor and Servicer, as agreed upon in the Advisory Service Agreement and the Master Service Agreement, the Company will be reliant on Webster Bank and its parent company, Webster Financial Corporation ("Webster"), to ensure proper date recognition. The Company has reviewed documentation provided by Webster and has determined that Webster is taking the appropriate steps to become Year 2000 compliant. II. The Costs To Address The Company's Year 2000 Issues The Company currently pays a monthly servicing and managerial fee to Webster as agreed upon in the Advisory Service Agreement and the Master Service Agreement. The Company is not expected to incur any costs associated with Year 2000 issues that are not covered under the Advisory Service Agreement and the Master Service Agreement. The Advisory Service Agreement and the Master Service Agreement include technical support, and administrative services, in which Webster monitors and supervises the performance of all parties who have contracts to perform services for the Company. III. The Risks Of The Company's Year 2000 Issues The Company is in the process of identifying and evaluating potential Year 2000 related worst case scenarios that could result from 1) Webster's failure to identify, test, and validate all critical date dependent applications and embedded microchips that affect core business processes and 2) the failure of external forces, such as third party vendors, and utilities, to have properly remediated their systems. Potential worst case scenarios being addressed, include: extended electrical power outage, extended telephone communication outage, and excessive media speculation and community fear. The Company is unable to estimate lost revenue related to Year 2000 issues due to the uncertainties of the impact and effects of external forces and their potential extended disruptions. IV. The Company's Contingency Plans A contingency plan is being drafted by the Company to address each identified potential worst case scenario. Alternative solutions for business resumption and approaches to minimize the impact of each scenario are being formulated. Proposed approaches to address potential scenarios include: designating alternate offices as emergency locations with alternate power sources and identifying alternate communication methods. Availability Of Webster's Disclosure Webster's Year 2000 Readiness Disclosure Statement is available in detail in its December 31, 1998, Form 10-K. 12 WEBSTER PREFERRED CAPITAL CORPORATION MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 March 31, 1999 and the projected change to market values if interest rates instantaneously increase or decrease by 100 basis points.

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 that differ from those in any forward-looking statements include changes in interest rates and general economics in the Connecticut market area where a substantial portion of the real estate securing the Company's loans is located. Such developments could have an adverse impact on the Company's financial position and results of operations. 13 WEBSTER PREFERRED CAPITAL CORPORATION PART II - OTHER INFORMATION - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Item 6: Exhibits and Reports on Form 8-K (a) Exhibits Exhibit Numbers Description --------------- ----------- 27 Financial Data Schedule (b) No reports on Form 8-K were filed during the quarter ended March 31, 1999. 14 SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized.
