WESTBANK CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE A - GENERAL INFORMATION
Westbank Corporation (hereinafter sometimes referred to as
"Westbank" or the "Corporation") is a registered Bank Holding
Company organized to facilitate the expansion and diversification of
the business of Park West Bank and Trust Company (hereinafter
sometimes referred to as "Park West" or the "Bank") into additional
financial services related to banking. Substantially all operating
income and net income of the Corporation are presently accounted for
by Park West.
NOTE B - CURRENT OPERATING ENVIRONMENT
Since December 1994, Park West has been operating under a Memorandum
of Understanding (the "Memorandum") with the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC") and the Commissioner of Banks for
the Commonwealth of Massachusetts (the "Commissioner"). On December
11, 1995 the Memorandum was revised. The Memorandum is an informal
agreement with the FDIC and the Commissioner requiring Park West,
among other things, to maintain a leverage capital ratio of at least
6%, to develop a written plan of action to lessen its risk exposure
to certain borrowers and to refrain from extending or renewing
credit to any borrower who has a loan or extension of credit with
Park West that has been charged off or classified, without first
obtaining majority approval of Park West's Board of Directors. Park
West must maintain the allowance for losses at a level commensurate
to the risk in the loan portfolio and correct other deficiencies.
The Memorandum requires Park West to obtain approval from the FDIC
and the Commissioner prior to paying or declaring a dividend.
Finally, Park West is required to make quarterly reports to the FDIC
and the Commissioner detailing the form and manner of action taken
to secure compliance with the Memorandum. Park West is currently in
compliance with all the requirements of the Memorandum.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991
("FDICIA") imposes significant regulatory restrictions and
requirements on banking institutions insured by the FDIC and their
holding companies. FDICIA established capital categories into which
financial institutions are placed based on capital level. Each
capital category establishes different degrees of regulatory
restrictions which can apply to a financial institution. As of
September 30, 1996, Park West's capital was at a level that placed
the Bank in the "well capitalized" category as defined by FDICIA.
FDICIA imposes a variety of other restrictions and requirements on
insured banks. These include significant regulatory reporting
requirements such as insuring that a system of risk-based deposit
insurance premiums and civil money penalties for inaccurate deposit
assessment reports exists. In addition, FDICIA imposes a system of
regulatory standards for bank and bank holding company operations,
detailed truth in savings disclosure requirements, and restrictions
on activities authorized by state law but not authorized for
national banks.
The weak economy and real estate market continues to impair the
financial results of the Corporation. Despite these weaknesses the
Corporation has managed significant improvements in earnings and
asset quality. As a result of the continued aggressive management
of problem loans, the Board of Directors and management believe the
Corporation is positioned to comply with the Memorandum as well as
the requirements of FDICIA.
NOTE C - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements for the third quarter ended September 30, 1996 and 1995
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles for interim information and with instructions for Form
10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
notes 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. Operating
results for the nine month period ended September 30, 1996, are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the
year ending December 31, 1996.
For further information, please refer to the Consolidated Financial
Statements and footnotes thereto included in the Westbank
Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 1995.

WESTBANK CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
(Unaudited)
NOTE D - CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
On January 1, 1996 the Bank adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 122, "Accounting for Mortgage Servicing
Rights". This statement requires allocation of the total cost of
mortgage loans to the mortgage servicing rights and the loans
(without the mortgage servicing rights) based on their relative fair
values. The adoption of this statement did not have a material
effect on the Bank's financial condition or results of its
operations.
NOTE E - NET INCOME PER SHARE
Net earnings per share were computed by dividing net income by the
weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding and
common stock equivalent shares arising from unexercised stock
options. The weighted average of common stock and common stock
equivalents for the periods ended September 30, 1996 and 1995,
amounted to 3,379,961 and 3,254,913 shares, respectively.
NOTE F - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
In the normal course of business, there are outstanding commitments
and contingent liabilities, such as, standby letters of credit and
commitments to extend credit. As of September 30, 1996 standby
letters of credit amounted to $937,000 and loan commitments were
$23,872,000 and unused balances available on home equity lines of
credit were $7,913,000.
Trust Assets - Assets with a book value of $106,247,000 at September
30, 1996 held for customers in a fiduciary or agency capacity, is
not included in the accompanying balance sheet since such items are
not assets of the Bank.
NOTE G - STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
The FDIC imposes leverage capital ratio requirements for state
non-member Banks. The Bank's leverage capital ratio as of September
30, 1996 and December 31, 1995 was 6.92% and 6.87% respectively,
which is above the leverage capital ratio required under the
Memorandum.
In addition, the FDIC has established risk-based capital
requirements for insured institutions. Under those requirements,
Tier 1 risk based capital must be at least 4% while total risk-based
capital must be at a minimum of 8%. The Bank's Tier 1 risk-based
capital was 9.86% on September 30, 1996 and total risk-based capital
was 11.12%.

WESTBANK CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
Changes in Financial Condition -
Total consolidated assets amounted to $281,640,000 on September 30,
1996, compared to $253,777,000 on December 31, 1995. As of
September 30, 1996 and September 30, 1995, earning assets amounted
to, respectively, $263,447,000 or 94% of total assets, and
$246,296,000, or 94% of total assets. Earning assets increased
during the first nine months of 1996 as a result of increases in
securities, loans and temporary funds. Deposits originated from
three newly opened supermarket branches provided the funds to
support the increase in earning assets.
During the first three months of 1996, the Corporation securitized
approximately $3.6 million of residential mortgages into
mortgage-backed securities, are catagorized as investment securities
available for sale. During the first quarter, the Corporation also
sold approximately $3 million of mortgage-backed securities
resulting in a gain of $112,000.
Changes in Results of Operations -
For the quarter ended September 30, 1996 net income totaled $573,000
compared to $335,000 for the three month period ended September 30,
1995. For the nine months ended September 30, 1996, net income was
$1,641,000 compared to $1,737,000 for the same period during 1995.
For the nine months ended September 30, 1996, the Corporation
recorded tax expense totaling $1,200,000 versus $573,000 during
1995. The lower tax expense during 1995 was a result of a decrease
in the valuation reserve pertaining to deferred tax assets.
A slight decrease in net interest income for the period ended
September 30, 1996 reflects an increase in volume and decreases in
interest rates on earning assets and interest-bearing deposits.
Further analysis is provided in sections on net interest revenue and
supporting schedules.
Allowance for Loan Losses and Non-Performing Assets -
A significant decrease has been reflected in the provision for loan
losses in the current quarter with $176,000 being provided compared
to $1,190,000 in the quarter ending September 30, 1995. For the
nine month period ended September 30, 1996 the provision for loan
losses declined by $1,322,000 compared to the same period one year
ago.
After giving effect to the actions described above, the allowance
for loan losses at September 30, 1996 totalled $2,735,000 or 1.27%
of total loans, as compared to $3,707,000 or 1.84% at December 31,
1995.
Non-performing past due loans at September 30, 1996 aggregated
$2,710,000 or 1.26% of total loans compared to $6,896,000 or 3.43%
at December 31, 1995. The percentage of non-performing and past due
loans compared to total assets on those same dates, respectively,
amounted to 0.96% and 2.71%. The change in non-performing loans was
primarily the result of the sale of a pool of non-performing loans
which resulted in net proceeds to the Corporation of approximately
$2,000,000 and continued improvement in the overall loan portfolio.
Other real estate owned decreased by $507,000 compared to December
31, 1995. The percentage of other real estate owned to total assets
as of September 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995 amounted to 0.28% and
0.51%, respectively.
Management has made every effort to recognize all circumstances
known at this time which could affect the collectibility of loans
and has reflected these in establishing the provision for loan
losses, the writing down of other real estate owned and impaired
loans to fair value and other loans (watch list) monitored by
management, the charge-off of loans and the balance in the allowance
for loan losses. Management deems that the provision for the
quarter, and the balance in the allowance for loan losses, are
adequate based on results provided by the grading system and
circumstances known at this time.

WESTBANK CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS - (Continued)
NET INTEREST INCOME
The Corporation's earning assets include a diverse portfolio of
earning instruments ranging from the Corporation's core business of
loan extensions to interest-bearing securities issued by federal,
state and municipal authorities. These earning assets are financed
through a combination of interest-bearing and interest-free sources.
Net interest income, the most significant component of earnings, is
the amount by which the interest generated by assets exceeds the
interest expense on liabilities.
The Corporation analyzes its performance by utilizing the concepts
of interest rate spread and net yield on earning assets. The
interest rate spread represents the difference between the yield on
earning assets and interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities.
The net yield on earning assets is the difference between the rate
of interest on earning assets and the effective rate paid on all
funds - interest-bearing liabilities, as well as, interest-free
sources (primarily demand deposits and shareholders' equity).

CAPITAL RATIOS
September 30,
1996 1995
Ratio of "Tier 1" leverage capital
to total assets at end of period 6.77% 6.51%
Regulatory risk-based capital requirements take into account the
different risk categories of banking organizations by assigning risk
weights to assets and the credit equivalent amounts of off-balance
sheet exposures.
In addition, capital is divided into two tiers. For this
Corporation, Tier 1 includes the common stockholders' equity; Tier
2, or supplementary capital, includes not only the equity, but also,
a portion of the allowance for loan losses. Net unrealized
gain/(losses) on securities available for sale are not permitted to
be included for regulatory capital purposes.
The following are the Corporation's risk-based capital ratios at
September 30, 1996:
Tier 1 Capital (minimum required 4.00%) 10.20%
Tier 2 Capital (minimum required 8.00%) 11.45%

The following table sets forth the distribution of the repricing of

LIQUIDITY
Cash and due from banks, federal funds sold, investment securities,
mortgage-backed securities and loans available for sale, as compared
to deposits and short term liabilities, are used by the Corporation
to compute its liquidity on a daily basis. At September 30, 1996,
the Corporation's ratio of such assets to total deposits and
borrowed funds was 18.55%.

Average loans 1.28% 1.93% 1.33% 1.95%
Loans at end of period 1.27% 1.89% 1.27% 1.89%
The approach the Corporation uses in determining the adequacy of the
allowance for loan losses is the combination of a target reserve and
a general reserve allocation. Quarterly, based on an internal
review of the loan portfolio, the Corporation identifies required
reserve allocations targeted to recognized problem loans that, in
the opinion of management, have potential loss exposure or questions
relative to the depth of the collateral on these same loans. In
addition, the Corporation allocates a general reserve against the
remainder of the loan portfolio.

Information Concerning Forward-Looking Statements.
Westbank has made and may make in the future forward
looking statements concerning future performance, including but not
limited to future earnings, and events or conditions which may
affect such future performance. These forward looking statements
are based upon management's expectations and belief concerning
possible future developments and the potential effect of such future
developments on Westbank. There is no assurance that such future
developments will be in accordance with management's expectations
and belief or that the effect of any future developments on Westbank
will be those anticipated by Westbank management.
All assumptions that form the basis of any forward looking
statements regarding future performance, as well as events or
conditions which may affect such future performance, are based on
factors that are beyond Westbank's ability to control or predict
with precision, including future market conditions and the behavior
of other market participants. Among the factors that could cause
actual results to differ materially from such forward looking
statements are the following:
1. The status of the economy in general, as well as in
Westbank's prime market area, Western Massachusetts;
2. The recovery of the real estate market in Western
Massachusetts;
3. Competition in Westbank's prime market area from other
banks, especially in light of continued consolidation in
the New England banking industry.
4. Any changes in federal and state bank regulatory
requirements;
5. Changes in interest rates; and
6. The cost and other effects of unanticipated legal and
administrative cases and proceedings, settlements and
investigations.
While Westbank periodically reassesses material trends and
uncertainties affecting the Corporation's performance in connection
with is preparation of management's discussion and analysis of
results of operations and financial condition contained in its
quarterly and annual reports, Westbank does not intend to review or
revise any particular forward looking statement in light of future
events.
