                     EAGLE FINANCIAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1)      Basis of Presentation

         Eagle Financial Corp. (the "Company") is the holding company and parent
         of Eagle  Federal  Savings  Bank (the  "Bank").  Eagle  Federal  serves
         customers  from  twenty  three  branch  offices  located  in  Hartford,
         Litchfield and northern Fairfield counties.

         The accompanying  unaudited,  consolidated financial statements include
         all adjustments of a normal, recurring nature which are, in the opinion
         of  management,  necessary  for a fair  presentation.  The  results  of
         operations for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 1995 and
         1994  are  not  necessarily  indicative  of the  results  which  may be
         expected  for the  entire  fiscal  year.  The  accompanying  unaudited,
         consolidated  financial  statements  should be read in conjunction with
         the consolidated  financial  statements contained in the Company's 1994
         annual report on Form 10-K.

(2)      Accounting Pronouncements

         Effective  October 1, 1994, the Company adopted  Statement of Financial
         Accounting   Standards  ("SFAS")  No.  115,   "Accounting  for  Certain
         Investments in Debt and Equity  Securities." SFAS No. 115 requires that
         debt and equity  securities that have readily  determinable fair values
         be  carried  at  fair  value  unless  they  are  classified  as held to
         maturity.  Securities can be classified as held to maturity and carried
         at amortized  cost only if the reporting  entity has a positive  intent
         and ability to hold those securities to maturity.  If not classified as
         held to  maturity,  such  securities  would be  classified  as  trading
         securities or securities available for sale. Unrealized gains or losses
         for trading  securities  are included in earnings.  Unrealized  holding
         gains or losses for  securities  available  for sale are excluded  from
         earnings  and  reported as an  increase  or  decrease in  shareholders'
         equity, net of estimated income taxes.

         Upon  adoption  of SFAS  No.  115,  $71.7  million  of  investment  and
         mortgage-backed  securities were classified as available for sale which
         resulted  in the  net  unrealized  loss  on  those  securities  of $1.1
         million,  net of an income tax  benefit of  $358,000,  being shown as a
         reduction to  shareholders'  equity.  No investment or  mortgage-backed
         securities were classified as trading securities.


                                       6
<PAGE>
         At March 31,  1995,  the Company  had  investment  and  mortgage-backed
         securities  totaling  $57.0  million and $37.8  million,  respectively,
         classified  as available  for sale.  The net  unrealized  loss on these
         securities  of $963,000,  net of income tax  benefits of $658,000,  has
         been shown as a reduction to shareholders' equity.

         SFAS No. 114,  "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan",  was
         issued in May 1993 and  amended by SFAS No. 118 in October  1994.  SFAS
         No. 114, as amended,  which is  effective  for fiscal  years  beginning
         after  December  15,  1994,   requires  that  creditors   evaluate  the
         collectibility of both contractual  interest and contractual  principal
         of all loans when assessing the need for a loss accrual. When a loan is
         impaired,  a creditor  shall  measure  impairment  based on the present
         value of the  expected  future  cash  flows  discounted  at the  loan's
         effective  interest  rate,  or the fair value of the  collateral if the
         loan  is   collateral-dependent.   The  creditor  shall   recognize  an
         impairment by creating a valuation allowance.  SFAS No. 118 amends SFAS
         No. 114 to allow  creditors  to use  existing  methods for  recognizing
         interest  income on  impaired  loans.  The  Company  has not yet made a
         determination  as to the impact,  if any,  the adoption of SFAS No. 114
         will have on its financial condition and results of operations.

(3)      Shareholders' Equity

         In the first  quarter of fiscal  1995,  the Company  completed a common
         stock  offering in which  862,310 new shares of common  stock were sold
         (or 948,541  shares sold after  giving  effect to a 10% stock  dividend
         declared in January,  1995), resulting in net proceeds of approximately
         $16.7 million.  The additional capital was raised primarily to increase
         the Bank's core capital  ratio,  which had decreased as a result of its
         recent  substantial  increase  in asset size as a result of the Bank of
         Hartford  acquisition.  The new capital should also increase the market
         liquidity of the  Company's  stock and may assist the Company in future
         acquisition activity.

(4)      Allowance for Loan Losses

         The  following is a summary of the activity in the  allowance  for loan
         losses for the periods indicated (dollars in thousands):

                     EAGLE FINANCIAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         FINANCIAL CONDITION

         GENERAL - Eagle  Financial  Corp.  (the  "Company")  is a $1.15 billion
         savings bank holding  company and parent to Eagle Federal  Savings Bank
         (the  "Bank").   The  Bank  is  a  federally   chartered  savings  bank
         headquartered in Bristol, Connecticut,  which conducts business from 23
         banking offices located in Hartford, Litchfield, and northern Fairfield
         counties.  The  primary  business  of the Bank is to  provide  consumer
         banking services in the communities in Connecticut that it serves.  The
         Bank primarily invests its funds in first mortgage loans on one-to-four
         family residential real estate in Connecticut.  The Bank's major source
         of funds is deposits from the  communities in which its banking offices
         are located.

         The Bank's earnings depend largely on its net interest income, which is
         the difference  between  interest  earned on its loans and  investments
         versus the interest paid on its deposits and borrowed funds. Additional
         earnings are derived from a variety of financial  services  provided to
         customers, mainly deposit and loan products.

         On January  23,  1995,  the  Company  declared a 10% stock  dividend in
         addition to its regular  quarterly cash dividend of $0.21 per share. As
         a  result  of  the  stock  dividend,   each  shareholder  received  one
         additional share of the Company common stock for every ten shares owned
         on February 15, 1995.  The $0.21 per share cash  dividend is based upon
         the new, increased number of shares held.

         At March  31,  1995,  the  Company  had total  assets of $1.15  billion
         compared to $1.07  billion at September  30,  1994,  an increase of $80
         million or 7.5%.  Loans  receivable,  net,  increased  $27.8 million to
         $838.5  million at March 31, 1995 from the  September 30, 1994 total of
         $810.7 million.  Total deposits  remained fairly stable  declining only
         $840,000  from  September 30, 1994 to March 31, 1995, a decline of less
         than 0.1%, to close the period at $949.0  million.  The growth in total
         assets  is  driven   primarily   by  an  increase  in   mortgage-backed
         securities,  including securities  classified as available for sale and
         held to maturity, of $59.0 million to $127.7 million at March 31, 1995.
         This increase represents the implementation of a strategy of structured
         growth whereby selected security  purchases are matched against funding
         sources with  similar  repricing  characteristics  in order to obtain a
         desired  interest  rate  spread.  This  strategy,   which  is  used  to
         supplement local loan origination activity,  serves to increase overall
         net interest  income and take advantage of the  flexibility the Company
         has in leveraging the balance sheet.  At March 31, 1995,  shareholders'
         equity represented 7.57% of total assets compared to 6.20% at September
         30, 1994.

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                                  (CONTINUED)

         
         LIQUIDITY - As a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank System,  the Bank
         is  required to maintain  liquid  assets at 5% of its net  withdrawable
         deposits plus short-term borrowings. At March 31, 1995, the Bank was in
         compliance  with the  Federal  Home  Loan Bank  liquidity  requirements
         having a liquidity  ratio of 8.00%  compared to 7.72% at September  30,
         1994.

         The Bank's principal sources of funds include  deposits,  loan payments
         (including  interest,   amortization  of  principal  and  prepayments),
         earnings and  amortization  on  investments,  maturing  investments and
         Federal  Home  Loan  Bank  advances  and  other  borrowings.  The  Bank
         historically has not been an active seller of loans.  Principal uses of
         funds include loan originations and investment  purchases,  payments of
         interest on deposits and payments to meet operating expenses.  At March
         31, 1995, the Bank had approximately  $40.1 million in loan commitments
         outstanding,  including $24.7 million in available home equity lines of
         credit and $6.3 million in amounts due borrowers for construction  loan
         advances.  It is expected that these and future loans will be funded by
         deposits, investment maturities and amortization,  loan repayments, and
         borrowings.  The Bank has the  capacity  to borrow up to  approximately
         $669 million in advances  from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston and
         will  continue  to  consider  this  source  of funds  for  lending  and
         investment purchases. Federal Home Loan Bank advances at March 31, 1995
         were $56.7 million  compared to $31.8 million at September 30, 1994, an
         increase of 78.5%.  Other  borrowed  money  increased  $33.6 million to
         $41.4  million at March 31, 1995  compared to $7.8 million at September
         30,  1994.  The majority of the increase in both Federal Home Loan Bank
         advances and other  borrowings  represents  the funding  source for the
         structured growth strategy previously discussed.

         Loan  originations  for the six months  ended March 31, 1995 were $68.3
         million  compared to $104.4  million  for the same  period in 1994.  No
         loans were purchased in either  period.  Total loans sold declined from
         $10.1 million for the six month period ended March 31, 1994 to $354,000
         for the six month period ended March 31, 1995.

         It has been the Company's  general  policy to purchase debt  securities
         (including  mortgage-backed  securities)  with  the  intent  to hold to
         maturity for purposes of earning interest income and meeting regulatory
         liquidity requirements. Various factors are considered when determining
         whether debt securities

                                       10
<PAGE>
                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                                  (CONTINUED)

         are  classified  as  either  available  for  sale or held to  maturity,
         including:   repricing   characteristics,   liquidity  needs,  expected
         security life,  yield and overall  asset/liability  strategies.  Events
         which may be reasonably anticipated are considered when determining the
         Company's  ability to hold debt securities to maturity.  For those debt
         securities  for which the Company has determined it has both the intent
         and ability to hold to maturity,  a classification  of held to maturity
         is made.  Other debt  securities  are classified as available for sale.
         When a security  available for sale is sold, the proceeds are generally
         used to fund loans when either deposit  inflows have not been adequate,
         the rates offered on Federal Home Loan Bank advances are not favorable,
         or liquidity ratios support such sales. The Bank may also  occasionally
         sell  securities  available for sale to restructure an  asset/liability
         mismatch.  There were $6.2  million of  securities  sold during the six
         month period ended March 31, 1995 compared to $2.8 million for the same
         period in 1994.  Included in the $6.2 million of  securities  sold is a
         $4.0  million  transaction   representing  a  mortgage-backed  security
         classified as held to maturity prior to sale. The security was sold due
         to  the  discovery  of a  broker  error  in  properly  identifying  the
         security's repricing  characteristics  when purchased in December 1994.
         The  security's  actual  repricing  characteristics  did not  match the
         asset/liability  parameters  outlined by the Company  and, as a result,
         was repurchased by the broker.

         REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS - The Bank is required by the Office of
         Thrift Supervision ("OTS") to meet minimum capital requirements,  which
         include  tangible   capital,   core  capital  and  risk-based   capital
         requirements. The Bank's actual capital as reported to the OTS at March
         31,  1995  exceeded  the  currently  applicable   tangible,   core  and
         risk-based  capital  requirements  as  the  following  chart  indicates
         (dollars in thousands):

</TABLE>


         ASSET/LIABILITY  MANAGEMENT - The primary  component  of the  Company's
         earnings  is  net  interest  income.   The  Company's   asset/liability
         management  strategy is to maximize  net  interest  income over time by
         reducing the impact of fluctuating interest rates. This is accomplished
         by matching the mix and  maturities of its assets and  liabilities.  At
         the same time the  Company's  asset/liability  strategies  for managing
         interest  rate  risk  must  also   accommodate   customer  demands  for
         particular types of deposit and loan products. The Company uses various
         asset/liability  management  techniques  in an  attempt  to  maintain a
         profitable mix of financial assets and liabilities, provide deposit and
         loan  products  that meet the needs of its market  area,  and  maintain
         control  over  interest  rate risk  resulting  from changes in interest
         rates.

                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                                  (CONTINUED)

     
         Strategies  employed  by Eagle to manage  the rate  sensitivity  of its
         assets  include  origination  of adjustable  rate mortgage and consumer
         loans and purchase of short-term and adjustable rate investments. Eagle
         Financial  also  attempts  to  reduce  the  rate   sensitivity  of  its
         liabilities by emphasizing  core deposits,  which are less sensitive to
         changes in  interest  rates,  attracting  longer term  certificates  of
         deposits when the market permits, and using long term Federal Home Loan
         Bank  advances.  Management  will continue to monitor the impact of its
         borrowing  and lending  policies  on Eagle  Financial's  interest  rate

         NON-PERFORMING  ASSETS - At March  31,  1995,  the  Company  had  total
         non-performing assets in the amount of $12.4 million, or 1.08% of total
         assets, including $9.7 million in non-performing loans and $2.7 million
         in real estate owned and in-substance foreclosures.  Loan loss reserves
         totaled  $8.4  million  or  86%  of  total  non-performing  loans.  The
         Company's real estate owned is made up of residential  properties  with
         the  exception of three pieces,  a commercial  property with a carrying
         value  of  $160,000,  net of loss  reserves,  and two  parcels  of land
         totaling  $39,000,  net of loss  reserves.  At September 30, 1994,  the
         Company had total non-performing assets in the amount of $12.3 million,
         or 1.15% of total  assets,  including  $8.0  million in  non-performing
         loans  and  $4.3  million  in  real  estate   owned  and   in-substance
         foreclosures.   The   following   table   represents   a  breakdown  of
         non-performing assets as of March 31, 1995 (dollars in thousands):

                                  (CONTINUED)

         Loans delinquent  between 30 and 90 days totaled $20.4 million at March
         31,  1995  compared  to $19.9  million  at  September  30,  1994.  This
         represents  an  increase of  $500,000  during the  period,  however the
         percentage  of loans  delinquent  between 30 and 90 days to gross loans
         receivable remained consistent at 2.4%. Loans delinquent between 30 and
         60 days represented 86.4% of the $20.4 million as of March 31,1995.

         Management  maintained the level of the loan loss allowance  during the
         six months ended March 31, 1995 based upon ongoing  uncertainty  in the
         local economy.  Provisions for loan losses totaled $450,000 for the six
         month period.  Management  monitors the adequacy of the  allowances for
         losses on loans  and real  estate  owned on a  continual  basis.  While
         management uses available  information to recognize losses on loans and
         real estate owned,  future additions to the allowances may be necessary
         based on changes in economic  conditions,  particularly in Connecticut.
         In connection  with the  determination  of the allowances for losses on
         loans and real estate owned,  management obtains independent appraisals
         for significant properties.

         In addition,  various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their
         examination  process,  periodically  review the Bank's  allowances  for
         losses on loans and real estate  owned.  Such  agencies may require the
         Bank to recognize  additions to the allowances based on their judgments
         of information available to them at the time of the examination.

         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         COMPARISON OF THE THREE AND SIX MONTH PERIODS ENDED
         MARCH 31, 1995 AND 1994

         GENERAL - Net income  increased  $1.1 million,  or 67%, to $2.8 million
         for the three  months  ended  March 31,  1995 from $1.7  million in the
         comparable  period  in 1994.  The  increase  was due to a $3.1  million
         increase in net interest  income  offset by a $1.7 million  increase in
         noninterest  expenses  for the quarter  ended March 31, 1995 versus the
         quarter ended March 31,1994.  Net income for the six month period ended
         March 31,  1995 also  increased  compared to the same period in 1994 by
         $2.3 million,  or 66%, to $5.7 million.  Higher net interest  income of
         $20.1  million,  a $6.0  million  increase  above the total for the six
         months ended March 31, 1994 of $14.1 million,  represented  the primary
         reason for the improved net income.  Fully  diluted  earnings per share
         were $0.62 and $1.27 for the three and six month  periods  ended  March
         31,  1995,  respectively,  compared  to $0.48 and $0.97 for the similar
         periods in 1994.

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                                  (CONTINUED)

         NET INTEREST  INCOME - Net interest  income  increased  $3.1 million to
         $10.2  million for the three  months ended March 31, 1995 from $7.1 for
         the same quarter in 1994.  For the six months ended March 31, 1995, the
         increase in net interest income was $6.0 million, or 42.3%, for a total
         of $20.1  million  compared to $14.1  million for the six months  ended
         March  31,  1994.  The  increases  in  both  periods  can be  primarily
         attributed to two factors; one, the increase in the net interest spread
         and two,  the  increase  in the  average  balance of  interest  earning
         assets.

         The net interest spread for the three and six month periods ended March
         31, 1995 was 3.61% and 3.63%, respectively, compared to 3.41% and 3.40%
         for the comparable three and six month periods,  respectively, in 1994.
         The total average balance of interest  earning assets increased by $296
         million for the three months ended March 31, 1995  compared to the same
         period in 1994.  Although  the  average  balance  of  interest  bearing
         liabilities used to fund the asset growth increased by a similar amount
         during the period, the overall asset yield increased more than the cost
         of funds. The asset yield increased 65 basis points from the March 1994
         quarter to the March  1995  quarter  while the cost of funds  increased
         only 44 basis points  during the same period.  For the six months ended
         March 31, 1995  compared to the six months  ended March 31,  1994,  the
         asset yield increased 42 basis points while the cost of funds increased
         19 basis points.

         PROVISION  FOR LOAN  LOSSES - The  provision  for loan  losses  totaled
         $225,000 for the quarter  ended March 31, 1995 compared to $300,000 for
         the quarter  ended March 31, 1994 and $450,000 for the six months ended
         March 31, 1995 versus  $600,000 for the  comparable six month period in
         1994.  Various  factors are evaluated by management in determining  the
         level of the  provisions  for loan losses and the  adequacy of the loan
         loss allowance. The adequacy of the allowance and related provisions is
         computed  quarterly  and  encompasses  a  critical  review  of the loan
         portfolio.  The loan loss  allowance at March 31, 1995 was $8.4 million
         and  represents  86%  of   non-performing   loans  and  1.0%  of  loans
         receivable, net.

         NONINTEREST  INCOME  - For  the  three  months  ended  March  31,  1995
         noninterest  income  increased  $373,000 to  $1,016,000,  or 58%,  from
         $643,000  during the quarter  ended March 31,  1994.  The  increase was
         primarily the result of higher fee income on NOW accounts  created by a
         larger volume of activity  from the inclusion of the accounts  acquired
         in the  Bank of  Hartford  transaction.  Noninterest  income  was  $2.0
         million  for the six  months  ended  March 31,  1995  compared  to $1.4
         million for the similar  1994  period,  an increase of $559,000 or 39%.
         The increase is largely

                                  (CONTINUED)

         attributable  to the increased fee income  resulting  from the acquired
         Bank of Hartford  accounts but was offset by two events.  First, a loss
         on the sale of securities of $104,000 in the six months ended March 31,
         1995 and,  second,  a gain from the sale of loans of $119,000  recorded
         during the six months ended March 31, 1994.

         NONINTEREST EXPENSES - Noninterest expenses for the quarter ended March
         31,1995  increased  $1.7 million,  or 37%, to $6.2 million  compared to
         $4.5  million  during the March 31,  1994  quarter.  The  increase is a
         result of the impact of the Bank of Hartford acquisition on all expense
         categories,  most notably  compensation  and benefits,  which increased
         $620,000,  or 28%,  and deposit  insurance  premiums,  which  increased
         $206,000  or 51%.  The  increase  in  deposit  insurance  premiums  was
         unfavorably  affected by a temporary  increase in the assessment  rate,
         which was determined based on capital levels immediately  following the
         Bank of Hartford  acquisition.  The temporary  assessment rate increase
         effects only the March 31, 1995 and June 30, 1995  quarters and will be
         readjusted  effective July 1, 1995. The impact from the amortization of
         intangibles,  recorded as a result of the Bank of Hartford acquisition,
         increased  expenses by $311,000 to $412,000 for the quarter ended March
         31, 1995 versus the March 31, 1994 quarter. Offsetting the increases in
         expenses was a decrease in the net cost of real estate owned operations
         from $257,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1994 to $113,000 for
         the three months ended March 31, 1995, a change of $144,000 or 56%. The
         decrease was  primarily the result of lower  provisions  for losses and
         reduced carrying costs.

         Noninterest  expenses  for the six months  ended March 31, 1995 totaled
         $11.8 million,  a $2.8 million  increase over the $9.0 million recorded
         during  the six  months  ended  March 31,  1994.  The  majority  of the
         increase  in  expenses  can be  attributed  to  the  Bank  of  Hartford
         acquisition  when  comparing  the  March  31,  1995 and 1994 six  month
         periods.  The  net  cost  of  real  estate  owned  operations  declined
         $569,000,  or 72%, to $224,000  for the six months ended March 31, 1995
         versus  the six  months  ended  March 31,  1994.  The  decrease  can be
         attributed to substantially lower loss provisions, lower carrying costs
         and improved results from the sale of properties.

         INCOME TAXES - Income taxes  increased  $803,000 to $2.0 million during
         the  quarter  ended  March 31,  1995 and $1.6  million to $4.1  million
         during the six months  ended March 31, 1995  principally  due to higher
         pre-tax  income when  compared to the similar  periods in the  previous
         year.  The  effective tax rate for both the three and six month periods
         ended March 31, 1995 was 41.5%.
