Commission File No. 0-14550

Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

Pursuant to the terms of the Plan and Agreement of  Reorganization,  dated as of
March 14, 1995 an amended,  March 30, 1995 (the  "Reorganization  Agreement") by
and among New England Community  Bancorp,  Inc.  ("NECB"),  New England Bank and
Trust Company ("NEBT") and The Equity Bank ("Equity"),  a Connecticut  chartered
commercial  bank,  on  Thursday,  November 30,  1995,  NECB  acquired all of the
outstanding shares of Equity Common Stock and will operate Equity under existing
name and charter as a separate bank subsidiary of NECB.

The  Reorganization  became  effective  on  Thursday,  November  30,  1995  (the
"Effective Time").

At the Effective  Time, each share of Equity Common Stock issued and outstanding
immediately  prior to the Effective Time (except for (i) shares of Equity Common
Stock held by NECB;  and (ii)  shares as to which  dissenters'  rights have been
perfected)  was  converted  into the right to receive 1.85 shares of NECB Common
Stock in  exchange  for each  share of  Equity  Common  Stock  (the  "Per  Share
Consideration").

Each share of Equity Common Stock which was beneficially  owned by NECB prior to
the Effective Time will be canceled and retired, and no right to receive the Per
Share  Consideration  shall arise with respect thereto.  Shares of Equity Common
Stock with respect to which dissenters' rights were perfected in accordance with
Connecticut  Banking Law will not be converted into the right to receive the Per
Share Consideration.

   
The  total  cash   consideration   paid  by  NECB  for  fractional   shares  was
approximately  $3,314.55 which was available from NECB's  operations.  The total
number of shares of NECB Common stock issued in exchange for Equity Common Stock
was 1,003,617.

                                 THE EQUITY BANK
                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               SEPTEMBER 30, 1995

Note 1  Basis of Presentation

The interim unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principals.  Certain financial information,  which
is normally  included in the financial  statements  prepared in accordance  with
generally accepted accounting principals,  but which is not required for interim
reporting  purposes,  has been  condensed or omitted.  In preparing  the interim
financial  statements,  Management is required to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the
balance  sheet and revenues and expenses for the period.  Actual  results  could
differ significantly from those estimates.

In the opinion of  Management,  the  accompanying  interim  unaudited  financial
statements contain all adjustments  (consisting of normal recurring adjustments)
necessary to present  fairly the Bank's  financial  position as of September 30,
1995,  and the results of operations and its cash flows for the nine months then
ended.  The  results of  operations  for the periods  shown are not  necessarily
indicative of the results  expected for the year ending  December 31, 1995.  The
accompanying   interim  unaudited   financial   statements  should  be  read  in
conjunction  with the financial  statements  and notes  thereto  included in the
Bank's 1994 Annual Report.

Note 2  Earnings Per Share

Earnings per share have been computed based upon the weighted  average number of
common shares  outstanding  during the period.  The weighted  average  number of
common shares  outstanding  amounted to 612,270  shares for each of the quarters
ended September 30, 1995 and 1994.

Note 3  Accounting Pronouncements

On January 1, 1995 the Bank adopted Statement of Financial  Accounting Standards
("SFAS") No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan," as amended
by SFAS No. 118,  "Accounting  for Creditors  for  Impairment of a Loan - Income
Recognition and Disclosures". The Bank now measures certain impaired loans based
on the present  value of expected  future  cash flows  discounted  at the loan's
effect  interest rate, or, as a practical  expedient,  at the loan's  observable
market  price or the  fair  value of the  collateral  if the loan is  collateral
dependent.  The  adoption  of  these  accounting  pronouncements  did not have a
material effect on the Bank's financial statements.

                    Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information


<PAGE>


                       New England Community Bancorp, Inc.
    UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

         The  following  unaudited  pro forma  combined  condensed  consolidated
balance sheets give effect to the Reorganization (as described in Item 2) of The
Equity  Bank  with  New  England  Community  Bancorp,  Inc.  assuming  that  the
Reorganization had been consummated on September 30, 1995.

         The  unaudited  pro  forma  combined  condensed   consolidated   income
statements  set forth the  operations  of New England  Community  Bancorp,  Inc.
combined  with The Equity Bank for the year ended  December 31, 1994 and for the
nine months ended September 30, 1995, as if New England Community Bancorp,  Inc.
had completed the Reorganization with The Equity Bank on January 1, 1994.

         The  Reorganization  of The Equity Bank has been  accounted  for by the
purchase method of accounting.  The adjustments  arising from the application of
the purchase  method of accounting are described in the respective  notes to the
unaudited pro forma combined condensed consolidated financial statements.

         The  unaudited  pro forma  combined  condensed  consolidated  financial
statements  should be read in conjunction  with the  accompanying  notes and the
consolidated  financial  statements  and notes thereto of New England  Community
Bancorp, Inc. and The Equity Bank as of December 31, 1994.

         The pro forma financial statements may not be indicative of the results
that actually  would have occurred if the  Reorganization  had been effective on
the dates indicated or which may be obtained in the future.
