                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                           FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED
                           DECEMBER 31, 1994 AND 1993


(1) Basis of Presentation
    ---------------------
    Eagle  Financial  Corp. (the "Company") is the holding company and parent of
    Eagle Federal Savings Bank ("Eagle Federal"). 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-month periods ended December 31, 1994 and 1993 are not necessarily
    indicative  of the results which may be expected for the entire fiscal year.
    The accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
    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.


    The   amortized   cost  and  estimated   fair  values  of   investment   and
    mortgage-backed  securities  at December 31, 1994 is as follows  (dollars in
    thousands):

(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 Eagle  Financial's  stock and may assist the Company
in future acquisition activity.

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

GENERAL - Eagle  Financial Corp. (the "Company") is a $1.12 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.

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 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 in June, 1994. The additional capital
may also assist the Company in making further  acquisitions  and should increase
the market liquidity of its common stock.

In January,  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 will receive one additional share of Eagle Financial
common stock for every ten shares owned on February 15, 1995.  The  shareholders
will  receive a $0.21 per share  cash  dividend  based  upon the new,  increased
number of shares held.

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 December 31, 1994,  Eagle  Federal was in compliance
with the Federal Home Loan Bank liquidity  requirements having a liquidity ratio
of 8.42% 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
December 31, 1994, the Bank had  approximately  $43 million in loan  commitments
outstanding,  including  $24.5 million in available  home equity lines of credit
and $5.0 million in amounts due borrowers for construction loan advances.  It is
expected  that  these  and  future  loans  will  be  funded  by  deposits,  loan
repayments,  investment maturities and amortization and borrowings. The Bank has
the capacity to borrow up to  approximately  $613  million in advances  from the
Federal  Home Loan Bank of Boston and will  continue to consider  this source of
funds for  lending.  Federal  Home Loan Bank  advances at December 31, 1994 were
$42.5 million  compared to $31.8 million at September 30, 1994.  Other  borrowed
money was $35.2  million at December  31, 1994  compared to $7.8  million at the
start of the quarter.

Loan  originations  for the three  months  ended  December  31,  1994 were $37.8
million  compared to $52.4 million for the same period in 1993 and there were no
loans  purchased in either  period.  There were  $354,000  loans sold during the
three month period ended December 31, 1994,  compared to $9.9 million during the
same period of 1993.
<PAGE>
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
  RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONT'D)

It has been the Bank's  general  policy to purchase debt  securities  (including
mortgage-backed  securities) with the intent and ability to hold to maturity for
purposes of earning interest income. Debt securities (including  mortgage-backed
securities)  are also  classified  as  "available  for sale"  when  appropriate,
primarily to meet the Bank's regulatory,  liquidity requirements,  and accounted
for at market value.  Equity  securities and mutual fund  investements  are also
classified  as available  for sale and  accounted  for at market  value.  When a
security  available  for sale is sold,  the proceeds are used to fund loans when
deposit  inflows are not  adequate,  the rates offered on Federal Home Loan Bank
advances are not favorable,  and liquidity  ratios support such sales.  The Bank
also  occasionally  sells  securities  available  for  sale  to  restructure  an
asset/liability  mismatch. There were $2.2 million of securities sold during the
three month period ended December 31, 1994. There were no securities sold in the
first quarter of fiscal 1994.

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 December  31,  1994  exceeded  the  currently
applicable  tangible,  core and risk-based capital requirements as the following
chart indicates (in thousands):

                      OTS Requirement          Actual              Excess
                    -------------------------------------------------------
  Tangible Capital     $16,582  1.5%       $71,817   6.50%        $55,235
  Core Capital          33,167  3.0%        72,031   6.52%         38,864
  Risk-based Capital    42,751  8.0%        75,376  14.11%         32,625

ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT - The primary component of Eagle Financial's earnings
is net  interest  income.  Eagle'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 Eagle's asset/liability strategies for
managing  interest  rate  risk  must  also  accommodate   customer  demands  for
particular   types  of  deposit   and  loan   products.   Eagle   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.
<PAGE>
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
  RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONT'D)

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 sensitivity.

NON-PERFORMING  ASSETS  - At  December  31,  1994,  Eagle  Financial  had  total
non-performing  assets in the amount of $12.0 million, or 1.07% of total assets,
including $9.0 million in  non-performing  loans and $3.0 million in real estate
owned and in-substance foreclosures. Loan loss reserves totaled $8.4 million, or
94%  of  total  non-performing  loans.  Most  of the  real  estate  owned  is in
residential  properties  except for one local  piece of  commercial  real estate
valued at $215,000 and a $55,000 land  development  loan. At September 30, 1994,
Eagle Financial 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.   Eagle
Financial's loan delinquencies  (greater than 60 days) totaled $11.2 million, or
1.36% of total loans, at December 31, 1994 compared to $9.5 million, or 1.17% of
total loans, at September 30, 1994. The following  table  represents a breakdown
of non-performing assets as of December 31, 1994 (in thousands):

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

Management  continued to add to the loan loss allowance during the quarter ended
December  31,  1994  based  upon  continued  uncertainty  in the local  economy.
Provisions for loan losses totaled $225,000 for the quarter. Management monitors
the adequacy of the  allowances  for losses on loans and real estate owned on an
ongoing 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  allowance  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.


COMPARISON OF THE THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1994 AND 1993

GENERAL - Eagle Financial's net income for the three month period ended December
31, 1994 was $2.9 million,  or $0.65 per share,  a 64.9%  increase over the same
period in 1993. Net interest  income  increased $2.8 million,  or 40.0%,  in the
1994 period  compared to the three months ended December 31, 1993.  Non-interest
income  increased  $186,000,  or 23.5%,  in the three months ended  December 31,
1993.  Other expenses  increased $1.2 million,  or 26.2% in the first quarter of
fiscal 1995.

INTEREST INCOME - Interest income from loans and investments  increased $5.0, or
36.4%,  for the three months ended December 31, 1994 compared to the same period
in 1993. The growth in interest income is attributable to both growth in earning
assets  resulting  from the Bank's  acquisition of the Bank of Hartford in June,
1994,  and an increase in the yield on  interest  earning  assets as a result of
rising interest rates.

INTEREST  EXPENSE - Interest  expense on deposits and borrowed  money  increased
$2.2 million, or 32.5%, for the three months ended December 31, 1994 compared to
the same period in 1993.  The increase in interest  expense is  attributable  to
both growth in deposits resulting from the Bank's assumption of deposits as part
of the Bank of Hartford acquisition, and an increase in other borrowed money.

NET INTEREST INCOME - Net interest income increased $2.8 million,  or 40.0%, for
the first  quarter of fiscal 1995  compared to the first quarter of fiscal 1993.
The increase is attributable to both growth in earning assets as a result of the
Bank of Hartford  acquisition  and a widening  of the  Company's  interest  rate
spread.

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

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES - The provision  for loan losses  totaled  $225,000 in
the three month period ended December 31, 1994 compared to $300,000 in the three
month period ended  December 31, 1993.  Management  monitors the adequacy of the
allowance for loan losses and periodically makes additions based upon an ongoing
assessment of the loan portfolio. These provisions are based on an evaluation of
the loan portfolio,  past loan loss  experience,  current  economic  conditions,
volume,  growth  and  composition  of the loan  portfolio,  and  other  relevant
factors.  The  provisions are computed  quarterly  based on a review of the loan
portfolio.  Eagle  Financial's  allowance  for loan  losses  is  currently  $8.4
million, which represents 94% of total non-performing loans.

OTHER INCOME - Non-interest  income  increased  $186,000,  or 23%, for the three
months  ended  December  31, 1994 versus the same period in the prior year.  The
increase is primarily  attributable  to a $409,000,  or 61% increase in customer
service fees and other income which was partly  offset by a $104,000 net loss on
the sale of  investment  securities  in the first  quarter of fiscal  1995 and a
$119,000 gain on sale of loans in the first quarter of fiscal 1994.

OTHER EXPENSES - Non-interest  expenses increased $1.2 million or 26%, to during
the three  months  ended  December  31, 1994  compared to the three months ended
December 31, 1993. The largest  contributing  factor to the increase  relates to
the acquisition of the Bank of Hartford.  A $570,000  increase in  compensation,
taxes and benefits and a $ 169,000 increase in occupancy  expenses were both due
primarily to the operation of six  additional  branch  offices  acquired in that
transaction.  An increase of $200,000 in federal insurance premiums reflects the
increase in insurable deposits from the acquisition,  while advertising and data
processing  expense  increases  are also due, in part,  to the  acquisition.  In
general,  most other  operating  expenses such as office  supplies,  postage and
telephone increased due to the operation of six additional branches.
