                     EAGLE FINANCIAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1)  Basis of Presentation

Eagle Financial Corp. (the "Holding  Company") is a unitary savings bank holding
company and parent of Eagle  Federal  Savings  Bank (the  "Bank")  (collectively
known  as the  "Company").  The  Bank  is a  federally  chartered  savings  bank
headquartered  in Bristol,  Connecticut  and  conducts  business  from  nineteen
traditional branch offices and four in-store  supermarket branch offices located
in Hartford and eastern Litchfield 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,  1996 and  1995 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 1996 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

(2)  Accounting Pronouncements

Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards ("SFAS") No. 121,  "Accounting for
the  Impairment of Long-Lived  Assets and  Long-Lived  Assets to be Disposed of"
became effective  October 1, 1996. SFAS No. 121 requires that long-lived  assets
be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances  indicate
the  carrying  amount  of  an  asset  may  not  be  recoverable.  No  events  or
circumstances  have occurred which would require the Company to make adjustments
to the carrying  value of any  long-lived  assets  during the three months ended
December 31, 1996.

SFAS No. 122,  "Accounting  for  Mortgage  Servicing  Rights"  became  effective
October 1, 1996. SFAS No. 122 requires the  capitalization of mortgage servicing
rights   acquired   through  either  purchase  of  mortgage  loan  servicing  or
origination  and sale or  securitization  of mortgage  loans with  retention  of
servicing.  SFAS No. 122 also  requires  the  analysis of  capitalized  mortgage
servicing  rights for potential  impairment to be based on the fair value of the
rights. During the three months ended December 31, 1996, the Company capitalized
approximately $20,000 of servicing rights related to the origination and sale of
mortgage loans.

SFAS No. 123 "Accounting for Stock-Based  Compensation" became effective October
1, 1996.  SFAS No. 123  establishes a fair value based method of accounting  for
stock-based  compensation  plans.  This statement also establishes fair value as
the  measurement  basis for  transactions  in which an entity  acquires goods or
services from non-employees in exchange for equity instruments. The Company will
continue to follow the  accounting  requirements  of APB Opinion No. 25 and will
provide the pro forma financial  disclosure required by SFAS No. 123 in the 1997
Annual Report.

SFA No. 125,  Accounting  for Transfers  and  Servicing of Financial  Assets and
Extinguishments  of  Liabilities  was issued in June 1996 and is  effective  for
transfers and servicing of financial assets and  extinguishments  of liabilities
occurring  after  December  31,  1996,  except for those  transfers  relating to
secured  borrowings,  repurchase  agreements and similar  transactions which are
effective after December 31, 1997.  Earlier  application is not permitted.  This
statement  provides   accounting  and  reporting  standards  for  transfers  and
servicing of financial assets and extinguishment of liabilities. Those standards
are based on  consistent  application  of a financial  components  approach that
focuses on control. Under the approach, after a transfer of financial assets, an
entity  recognizes  the  financial  and  servicing  assets it  controls  and the
liabilities it has incurred, derecognizes financial assets when control has been
surrendered,  and  derecognizes  liabilities when  extinguished.  This statement
provides consistent  standards for distinguishing  transfers of financial assets
that are sales from  transfers  that are secured  borrowings.  The Bank believes
that  the  adoption  of SFAS  No.  125 will  not be  material  to its  financial
statements. SFAS No. 125 amends SFAS No. 122.

(5)  Subsequent Event

On January 28, 1997,  the Company  announced the signing of a definitive  merger
agreement with MidConn Bank. The transaction,  which is expected to close in May
1997, would result in the acquisition of MidConn Bank through a  stock-for-stock
tax free  exchange.  MidConn Bank common stock  shareholders  would  receive .86
shares of the  Holding  Company's  common  stock for each share of MidConn  Bank
common  stock that they own.  The closing  price of the Holding  Company  common
stock on January 28, 1997 was $29.25.  As a result,  MidConn Bank will be merged
into   the   Bank   with   the   transaction    being   accounted   for   as   a
pooling-of-interests.  At December  31,  1996,  MidConn Bank had total assets of
$363.2 million, total loans of $278.1 million, total deposits of $311.8 million
and shareholders' equity of $35.4 million.

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

GENERAL - The Bank conducts business from nineteen  traditional  banking offices
and four in-store  supermarket branch offices located in Hartford and Litchfield
counties.  The Bank  primarily  invests  its  funds in first  mortgage  loans on
one-to-four  family  residential real estate in Connecticut or, when loan demand
is low,  mortgage-backed  securities  with similar  characteristics.  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.

At December 31, 1996, the Company had total assets of $1.46 billion  compared to
$1.40 billion at September 30, 1996, an increase of $55 million,  or 3.9%. Total
outstanding  loans,  which  includes loans  receivable,  net, and loans held for
sale, increased $13.7 million to $828.9 million at December 31, 1996 from $815.2
million at  September  30, 1996.  Total  securities,  including  mortgage-backed
securities,  were $506.4 million at December 31, 1996 compared to $464.6 million
at September  30, 1996,  an increase of $41.9  million or 9.0%.  Total  deposits
increased  $8.1  million,  from $1.06  billion at  September  30,  1996 to $1.07
billion at December 31, 1996.  Total  borrowings were $241.2 million at December
31, 1996,  an increase of $19.4  million,  or 8.8%,  from the September 30, 1996
total of $221.8 million.  At December 31, 1996 shareholders'  equity represented
7.22% of total assets compared to 7.21% at September 30, 1996.

LIQUIDITY - The Holding Company's  liquidity and ability to pay dividends to its
shareholders is primarily  derived from and dependent on the ability of its Bank
subsidiary to pay  dividends to the Holding  Company.  Under  current  Office of
Thrift Supervision ("OTS")  regulations,  because the Bank meets the OTS capital
requirements,  it may pay out the  higher of 100% of net income to date over the
calendar  year and 50% of  surplus  capital  existing  at the  beginning  of the
calendar  year,  or 75% of its net  income  over  the most  recent  four-quarter
period,  without  regulatory  supervisory  approval.  In general,  the Bank pays
dividends  to the  Holding  Company  only to the extent that funds are needed to
cover  operating  expenses and dividends paid to  shareholders.  At December 31,
1996,  the Bank had  approximately  $34 million in excess  capital  over the OTS
risk-based requirement,  one half of which would be available for declaration of
dividends to the Holding Company. The OTS regulations permit the OTS to prohibit
capital distribution under certain circumstances.

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

As a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") system,  the Bank is required
to maintain liquid assets at 5% of its net withdrawable deposits plus short-term
borrowings. At December 31, 1996, the Bank was in compliance with the applicable
liquidity  requirements having an average liquidity ratio of 6.33% for the three
months ended December 31, 1996.

The Bank's principal sources of funds include deposits, loan payments (including
interest,  amortization  of principal and  prepayments),  interest and principal
amortization on investment and mortgage-backed securities, maturing investments,
Federal Home Loan Bank advances and other  borrowings.  Principal  uses of funds
include  loan  originations,  investment  purchases,  payments  of  interest  on
deposits and borrowed money and payments to meet operating expenses. At December
31,  1996,  the  Bank  had  approximately  $59.5  million  in  loan  commitments
outstanding,  including  $31.2 million in available home equity lines of credit.
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 an  additional  $454  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.

During the three  months  ended  December  31,  1996 the Bank  originated  loans
totaling  $46.9  million  compared to $54.6 million for the same period in 1995.
Principal  repayments  on loans  totaled $29.2 million and $23.5 million for the
three months ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  The Bank purchased
$39.8 million and $134.0  million of investment and  mortgage-backed  securities
during the quarters ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. The security
purchases  were  offset by sales,  maturities  and  principal  payments  that in
aggregate  totaled $22.4  million and $103.4  million for the three months ended
December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

It has been the Company's general policy to purchase debt securities  (including
mortgage-backed  securities) for purposes of earning interest income and meeting
regulatory  liquidity  requirements.  At date of purchase, a decision is made to
classify  debt  securities  as either held to maturity  or  available  for sale.
Various  factors are considered  when  determining  whether debt  securities 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 an available
for sale security 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 no  securities  sold during the three
months ended  December 31, 1996 compared to $74.2 million for the same period in
1995.

                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                                   (continued)

The  significant  level of security sales during the three months ended December
31, 1995 can be primarily  attributed to the sale of $58.8 million of fixed rate
mortgage-backed  securities  created from the  securitization  in August 1995 of
certain mortgage loans within the Bank's loan portfolio.  The sales  represented
the final step of a balance sheet  restructuring  which converted  approximately
$150 million of fixed rate mortgage loans into adjustable  rate  mortgage-backed
securities. The sales resulted in a realized gain of $631,000.

REGULATORY  CAPITAL  REQUIREMENTS  - The  Bank  is  required  by the 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, 1996 exceeded the currently  applicable  tangible,  core and
risk-based  capital  requirements as the following  chart indicates  (dollars in
thousands):

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.

Strategies  employed  by Eagle to  manage  the rate  sensitivity  of its  assets
include  origination of adjustable rate mortgage and consumer loans and purchase
of  adjustable  rate and short average life fixed rate  investments.  Eagle 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 when such rates are competitive. Management
will continue to monitor the impact of its  borrowings  and lending  policies on
Eagle's sensitivity to interest rate fluctuations.

</TABLE>

(1) Non-performing impaired loans are included in total non-performing loans.

The Company's  non-performing  assets are  predominately  residential in nature.
Assets  secured by residential  property  account for  approximately  91% of the
non-performing  assets at  December  31,  1996.  All  non-performing  assets and
restructured  loans  are  reviewed  quarterly  as  part of the  internal  review
process.

Of the total $7.1 million of impaired  loans at December 31, 1996,  $6.5 million
had an impairment  reserve of $619,000  attributed to them and $561,000  million
had no impairment reserve attributed to them. The impairment reserve on impaired
loans represents an allocation from the existing allowance for loan losses.

The  Bank's  method of  recognition  of  interest  income on  impaired  loans is
consistent  with its  general  policy to  generally  discontinue  the accrual of
interest  when a loan  becomes  90 days past due as to  principal  or  interest.
Interest  income  recognized on impaired loans totaled  $78,764  and $23,649 for
the three months ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

Loans  delinquent  between 30 and 90 days  totaled  $5.9 million at December 31,
1996 compared to $6.9 million at September 30, 1996.

The allowance for loan losses decreased slightly to $8.4 million at December 31,
1996 from $8.6 million at  September  30, 1995 due to net  charge-offs  totaling
$682,000  exceeding  the loan  loss  provision  for the  period.  The loan  loss
provision of $525,000 for the three  months  ended  December 31, 1996  increased
$300,000 when compared to the three months ended December 31, 1995. The increase
in the provision is in  recognition  of a trend of higher loan charge-offs.

Management  monitors  the  adequacy of the  allowances  for loan and real estate
owned losses 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  here in Connecticut.  In connection with the  determination of the
allowances for losses and real estate owned,  management  reviews and grades all
adversely  classified  loans as part of its internal loan review  process.  Each
loan is reviewed to determine loss exposure and the  borrower's  ability to pay.
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.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Comparison of the Three Month Periods Ended December 31, 1996 and 1995.

GENERAL

Net income for the three months  ended  December  31, 1996 was $2.9  million,  a
slight  decline of $28,000  from the net income  reported  for the three  months
ended  December 31, 1995.  Fully  diluted  earnings per share were $0.61 for the
quarter ended December 31, 1996 compared to $0.62 for the quarter ended December
31, 1995.

Net interest income increased $1.0 million to $10.4 million for the three months
ended December 31, 1996 versus $9.4 million a year earlier.  The  improvement in
net interest  income was partly  offset by a $300,000  increase in the provision
for loan losses and a $368,000  increase in non-interest  expense when comparing
the December 31, 1996 and 1995 quarters. In addition, the quarter ended December
31, 1995 included a gain on the sales of  securities of $631,000  compared to no
gains recorded from sales of securities in 1996.

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest  income was $10.4  million for the three months ended  December 31,
1996,  an  increase  of $1.0  million,  or 11%,  from the prior  years  results.
Interest  income  increased  $2.7 million to $24.9 million for the quarter ended
December 31, 1996 from $22.2 million. Interest expense increased $1.7 million to
$14.4 million for the three months ended  December 31, 1996 versus $12.7 million
for the  comparable  period in 1995.  The increases in both interest  income and
interest expense were the result of significant  increases of $164.4 million, or
14%, in the average balances of interest  earning assets and $180.8 million,  or
16%, in interest bearing liabilities. Loan growth accounted for $97.6 million of
the increase in interest  earning assets and deposit growth accounted for $104.8
million of the  increase in interest  bearing  liabilities.  The impact from the
average  balance  growth was  partially  offset by declines in both the yield on
interest earning assets and the cost of interest bearing liabilities.  The yield
on interest  earning  assets  declined from 7.50% in 1995 to 7.40% in 1996.  The
cost of interest  bearing  liabilities  decreased to 4.41% for the quarter ended
December 31, 1996 from 4.56% for the  comparable  quarter in 1995.  As a result,
the interest rate spread  increased to 2.99% for the three months ended December
31, 1996 compared to 2.94% for the three months ended December 31, 1995.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

The provision  for loan losses was $525,000 for the three months ended  December
31, 1996,  an increase of $300,000 from the $225,000  reported  during the three
months ended  December 31, 1995.  The increase is  principally in recognition of
a trend of higher loan charge-offs.

                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                                   (continued)

NON-INTEREST INCOME

Non-interest  income decreased  $608,000 from $1.9 million for the quarter ended
December 31, 1995 to $1.3 million for the quarter ended  December 31, 1996.  The
decrease  was  principally  the  result  of  gains  recorded  from  the  sale of
securities in 1995 of $631,000  compared to no security  gains recorded in 1996.
Customer service fees increased $96,000 from the quarter ended December 31, 1995
to the quarter  ended  December  31,  1996,  reflective  of the  overall  larger
customer base.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE

Non-interest  expense  increased  $368,000 to $6.4  million for the three months
ended  December 31, 1996 from $6.0  million for the three months ended  December
31, 1995. Increases in office occupancy of $364,000, due to the operation of the
branches acquired in January 1996 and the supermarket branches, and amortization
of  intangible  assets of $288,000,  due to the  goodwill  created in the branch
acquisition,  were principally  responsible for the higher non-interest  expense
total.  Partially  off-setting  the  previously  noted  increases was a $184,000
decline in Federal deposit insurance premium due to the  recapitalization of the
Savings Association Insurance Fund in September 1996. 

INCOME TAXES

Income tax expense was $2.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 1996
compared  compared to $2.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 1995,
a decrease of  $200,000.  The  decrease is due to lower  pre-tax  income and the
reduction of the  corporate  state tax rate from 11.25% during the quarter ended
December 31, 1995 to 10.5% during the quarter ended December 31, 1996.
