VILLAGE BANCORP, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (UNAUDITED)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary, consisting
only of normal recurring accruals, to present fairly the financial position, the
results of operations, cash flows and the changes in financial position of
Village Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") for the periods presented. In preparing
such financial statements, management is required to make estimates and
assumptions that effect the reported amounts. Actual results could differ
significantly from those estimates.

     The Company's consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Village Bancorp, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary The Village Bank & Trust
Company ("Village") and have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles and conform with predominant practices used within the
banking industry.

     Village is engaged in the business of commercial banking and operates six
branch banking offices in Fairfield and Litchfield counties in Connecticut, and
is principally engaged in lending and deposit gathering activities within these
counties. Village also operates a trust department and offers trust services.

     While management believes that the disclosures presented are adequate so as
not to make the information misleading, it is suggested that these financial
statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and
notes thereto included in the Company's 1997 annual report.

     The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and
Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities" ("SFAS No.
125"), which specifies accounting and reporting standards for transfers and
servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities and for
distinguishing whether a transfer of financial assets in exchange for cash or
other consideration should be accounted for as a sale or as a pledge of
collateral in a secured borrowing. SFAS No. 125 is effective for transfers and
servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities occurring after
December 31, 1996, except for certain provisions (relating to the accounting for
secured borrowings and collateral and the accounting for transfers and servicing
of repurchase agreements, dollar rolls, securities lending and similiar
transactions) which have been deferred until January 1, 1998 in accordance with
SFAS No. 127, "Deferral of the Effective Date of Certain Provisions of FASB
Statement No. 125." Adoption of the effective provisions of SFAS No. 125 as of
January 1, 1997 and 1998 has not had any material effect on the Company's
consolidated financial statements.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) - (Continued)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     In June 1997, the FASB issued a new accounting standard, SFAS No. 131
"Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" ("SFAS No.
131"), which requires that enterprises report certain financial and descriptive
information about operating segments in complete sets of financial statements
and in condensed financial statements of interim periods issued to stockholders.
It will require the Company to report certain information about its products and
services, geographic areas in which it operates and its major customers. SFAS
No. 131 is effective for fiscal year 1998. As the requirements of this standard
are disclosure-related, its implementation will have no impact on the Company's
financial condition or results of operations.

     In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities", which establishes accounting and reporting
standards for derivative instruments and for hedging activities. It is effective
for all fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999.
Management does not expect the adoption of this statement will have a material
effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of
operations.

     The composition of the loan portfolio is summarized as follows (in
thousands):

                                         Sept. 30, 1998        Dec. 31, 1997

================================================================================

The June 30, 1998 quarterly allowance for credit loss review and analysis
demonstrated that the reserve required an adjustment based on historical loss
experience, economic data and managements evaluation of the loan portfolio. This
adjustment was reflected as a credit to the provision for loan losses during the
second quarter of 1998.

     The recorded investment in loans considered to be impaired at September 30,
1998 and December 31, 1997 was $1,165,000 and $1,427,000, respectively. Specific
valuation allowances for these loans were $158,000 and $174,000 at September 30,
1998 and December 31, 1997, respectively, to reduce the recorded amount of such
loans to their estimated fair value. Generally, the fair value of impaired loans
was determined using the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral.

NOTE F - EARNINGS PER SHARE

     SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" ("SFAS No. 128"), became effective for
the Company in the fourth quarter of 1997, and requires restatement of all
prior-period earnings per share ("EPS"). SFAS No. 128 requires that "Basic EPS"
exclude dilution and be computed by dividing income available to common
stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for
that period; "Diluted EPS" reflects the potential dilution that could occur if
securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted
into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that would then
share in the earnings of the entity. A summary of the basic and diluted earnings
per share calculations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1998
and 1997 are as follows:

NOTE G - REPORTING COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

     Effective January 1, 1998, the Company adopted SFAS No. 130, "Reporting
Comprehensive Income", which establishes standards for reporting and display of
comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general purpose
financial statements. This statement requires that all items that are required
to be recognized under accounting standards as components of comprehensive
income be reported in a financial statement that is displayed with the same
prominence as are the financial statements. For interim financial reporting
periods, the Company has elected to provide this disclosure in the notes to the
financial statements. Comprehensive income is defined as "the change in equity
(net assets) of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and
other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. It includes all changes

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

GENERAL

     Village Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") through its only subsidiary, The
Village Bank & Trust Company ("Village" or the "Bank") had total assets of
$230,173,000 on September 30, 1998 in comparison to total assets of $222,549,000
on December 31, 1997. This is an increase of $7,624,000 or 3.4%.

     For the three month periods ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, the
Company's net income increased from $231,000 for the 1997 period to $580,000 for
the 1998 period. Net interest income increased $376,000 (17.9%) from $2,106,000
for the 1997 period to $2,482,000 for the 1998 period.

     For the nine month periods ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, the Company's
net income increased from $955,000 for the 1997 period to $1,584,000 for the
1998 period. Net interest income increased $1,157,000 (18.9%) from $6,116,000
for the 1997 period to $7,273,000 for the 1998 period.

ASSETS AND RELATED INCOME ANANLYSIS (Nine Month Comparison)

     Loans outstanding on September 30, 1998 totaled $150,075,000, which is an
increase of $2,416,000 (1.6%) from the $147,659,000 outstanding at December 31,
1997. Loan income increased $1,184,000 (13.9%) from $8,545,000 for the 1997
period to $9,729,000 for the 1998 period. This increase is due to an increase in
average outstanding loans, from $132,673,000 in the 1997 period to $150,879,000
for the 1998 period coupled with a slight increase in the average rate earned,
from 8.59% for the 1997 period to 8.60% for the 1998 period. The June 30, 1998
quarterly allowance for credit loss review and analysis demonstrated that the
reserve required an adjustment based on historical loss experience, economic
data and managements evaluation of the loan portfolio. This adjustment was
reflected as a credit to the provision for loan losses during the second quarter
of 1998.

     Securities, which consists of securities held-to-maturity and securities
available-for-sale, decreased $8,787,000 (16.3%) from $53,809,000 at December
31, 1997 to $45,022,000 at September 30, 1998. Income from securities increased
$303,000 (18.0%) from $1,685,000 in the period ending September 30, 1997 to
$1,988,000 for the 1998 period. This increase was due to an increase in the
average dollar amount of securities held, from $39,918,000 for the 1997 period
to $48,973,000 in the 1998 period, offset by a decrease in the average rate
earned from 5.63% in the 1997 period to 5.41% in the 1998 period. The Bank has
the positive intent and ability to hold securities designated as
held-to-maturity until maturity and does not engage in trading activities.
Securities classified as available-for-sale are used to compensate for liquidity
forecasting deviations.

     Federal funds sold increased $13,100,000 from $0 at December 31, 1997 to
$13,100,000 at September 30, 1998. Federal funds sold income decreased $50,000
(17.1%) from $292,000 for the 1997 period to $242,000 for the 1998 period,
primarily due to a decrease in the average dollar held from $7,309,000 in the
1997 period to $6,027,000, offset by a slight increase in the average rate
earned from 5.33% in the 1997 period to 5.35% in the 1998 period.

(6.4%) from $4,406,000 for the 1997 period to $4,686,000 for the 1998 period.
This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in average deposits,

by a decrease in the average rate paid from 3.33% in the 1997 period to 3.03% in
the 1998 period.

$2,594,000 in the 1997 period to $2,935,000 in the 1998 period, primarily as a
result of the increase in the number of personnel due to the opening of the two
new branch office locations in June and July of 1997.

     Net occupancy expenses increased $188,000 (33.5%) from $561,000 in the 1997
period to $749,000 in the 1998 period, primarily as a result of addtional
expenses incurred with the addition of a branch office in Westport, Connecticut
in June of 1997 along with the opening of the Bank's new building in Danbury,
Connecticut in July of 1997.

     Furniture and equipment expense increased $80,000 (37.2%) from $215,000 in

opening of the two new offices.

     Data processing services expense increased $156,000 (35.6%) from $438,000
in the 1997 period to $594,000 in the 1998 primarily as a result of the growth
of the Bank and increased use of services.

ASSETS AND RELATED INCOME ANANLYSIS (Three Month Comparison)

     Loans outstanding decreased $370,000 during the three month period ended
September 30, 1998. This compares to a $7,598,000 increase during the 1997
period. Loan income increased $300,000 (10.0%) from $3,000,000 for the 1997
period to $3,300,000 for the 1998 period. This increase is due to an increase in
average outstanding loans, from $137,160,000 in the 1997 period to $152,739,000
for the 1998 period offset by a decrease in the average rate earned, from 8.75%
for the 1997 period to 8.64% for the 1998 period.

     Securities, which consists of securities held-to-maturity and securities
available-for-sale, decreased $3,915,000 (8.0%) during the 1998 period as
compared to an increase of $7,100,000 (17.2%) for the 1997 period. Income from
securities increased $17,000 (2.7%) from $630,000 in the period ending September
30, 1997 to $647,000 for the 1998 period. This increase was due to an increase
in the average dollar amount of securities held, from $45,012,000 for the 1997
period to $48,052,000 in the 1998 period, offset by a decrease in the average
rate earned from 5.60% in the 1997 period to 5.39% in the 1998 period.

     Federal funds sold increased $2,050,000 (18.6%) during the 1998 period as
compared to an increase of $1,400,000 (32.2%) for the 1997 period. Federal funds
sold income decreased $17,000 (19.5%) from $87,000 for the 1997 period to
$70,000 for the 1998 period, primarily due to a decrease in the average dollar
amount outstanding from $6,276,000 in the 1997 period to $5,419,000, coupled
with a decrease in the average rate earned from 5.54% in the 1997 period to
5.17% in the 1998 period.

LIABILITIES AND RELATED EXPENSE ANALYSIS (Three Month Comparison)

     Deposits decreased $4,722,000 (2.2%) during the 1998 period as compared to
an increase of $20,561,000 (11.5%) for the 1997 period. Interest on deposits
decreased $76,000 (4.7%) from $1,611,000 for the 1997 period to $1,535,000 for
the 1998 period. This decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in the
average rate paid from 3.43% in the 1997 period to 2.96% in the 1998 period
offset by an increase in the average outstandings from $187,600,000 for the 1997
period to $207,443,000 in the 1998 period.

LIQUIDITY

     Liquidity is the ability to provide funds for loan requests, unexpected
deposit outflows and meeting other recurring financial obligations. Cash and
cash equivalents at September 30, 1998 were $24,931,000 or 10.8% of total assets
as compared to $11,153,000 or 5.0% of total assets at December 31, 1997. The
Bank also maintains excess stored liquidity reserves to compensate for liquidity
forecasting deviations. These reserves are comprised of investment grade
securities that are highly marketable and liquid. The primary source of
liquidity, cash and due from banks and federal funds sold, have historically
surpassed the liquidity needs of the Company. Management closely monitors the
Bank's liquidity/cash flow position and does not anticipate any liquidity
problems in the foreseeable future.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The table below lists the minimum capital requirements along with the
Company's capital position at September 30, 1998:

YEAR 2000

     The Company and the Bank are aware of the significant impact that Year 2000
("Y2K") will have on financial service companies, as such, the Bank has
established a program to address Y2K issues. The Board of Directors monitors the
project and its ongoing implementation.

     The Bank utilizes the services of a third party service bureau for its data
processing needs. This service bureau is well on its way to addressing the Y2K
project and has completed the first phase of testing of its processing system.
The Bank has also completed its first phase of testing on all the applications
that are provided by the third party. This first phase tested the actual change
of dates from December, 1999 to January, 2000. The second phase of testing that
will be performed prior to the end of the first quarter in 1999 will test month
end, quarter end and odd date (i.e. February 29, 2000) processing.

     The Bank has developed contingency plans to deal with the possibility that
our third party processor will not be Y2K compliant on January 1, 2000. One plan
takes into account our role in the contingency plan that has been adopted by our
processor. The second plan which the Bank has developed will deal with
processing if our third party processor is not able to.

     The Bank has completed the planned upgrade of the teller and platform
systems in all branch offices. This upgrade included enhancements to the back
office operational areas as well. These upgrades were Y2K compliant. All
personal computers currently in use at the Bank have been tested to ensure Y2K
compliance. In addition, all critical software used at the Bank not directly
involved with system processing by the Bank's third party processor have been
verified as being Y2K compliant.

     The worst case Y2K scenario would involve the breakdown of utility service,
critical system failure and Federal Reserve, Automated Clearing House and
Clearing House failure. In this case, the Bank would have difficulty continuing
operations in a manner approaching normal. The Company has not yet developed a
contingency plan for this scenario, other than for the critical system failure.
It is not expected that this worst case scenario will occur. It is expected that
utilities, the Federal Reserve and the Clearing Houses will be Y2K compliant.
All of these components will be closely monitored and a contingency plan is
expected to be completed prior to the end of the first quarter of 1999.

     The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") is responsible for
supervising efforts by banks to prepare for the Y2K date change. The FDIC has
been conducting special examinations of insured banks to make sure they are
taking necessary steps to get ready for the Y2K date change. The FDIC is also
closely monitoring the progress that the Bank is making to complete critical
steps as required by Y2K plans.

     The costs associated with the implementation of changes to deal with Y2K
issues is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated
financial statements. The only expenses recorded to date are $6,625, which is
one-fourth of a testing fee by our third party processor of $26,500. While every
effort is being made to ensure the Bank is Y2K compliant, there can be no
assurances that Y2K will not to some degree affect the operations of the Bank.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

     The Company has made, and may continue to make, various forward-looking
statements with respect to earnings, credit quality and other financial and
business matters for periods subsequent to Sept. 30, 1998. The Company cautions
that these forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks
and uncertainties, and that statements relating to subsequent periods
increasingly are subject to greater uncertainty because of the increased
likelihood of changes in underlying factors and assumptions. Actual results
could differ materially from forward-looking statements.

factors identified elsewhere herein, the following factors could cause actual
results to differ materially from such forward-looking statements; competitive
pressures on loan and deposit product pricing; other actions of competitors;
