NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
         -----------------------------------------------------

     The accompanying  condensed  consolidated  financial statements include all
adjustments  which are,  in the  opinion  of  management,  necessary  for a fair
presentation of the results for the interim periods  presented.  All adjustments
were of a normal recurring  nature.  The results of operations for the three and
nine month periods ended September 30, 1997, are not  necessarily  indicative of
the  results  which may be  expected  for the year as a whole.  These  financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes
thereto  included in the  restated  Webster  Financial  Corporation  1996 Annual
Report to  shareholders.  The  consolidated  financial  statements  include  the
accounts  of Webster  Financial  Corporation  ("Webster")  and its wholly  owned
subsidiary, Webster Bank (the "Bank").

     On January 31, 1997, and July 31, 1997,  Webster  acquired DS Bancor,  Inc.
("Derby") and People's Savings Financial Corporation ("Peoples"),  respectively,
through merger transactions. The transactions were accounted for as a pooling of
interests, and accordingly, the financial statements as of and for periods prior
to the  Derby and  Peoples  transactions  have  been  restated  to  reflect  the
combinations.  On August 1, 1997,  Webster  completed its  acquisition of Sachem
Trust National  Association  ("Sachem").  The transaction was accounted for as a
purchase and therefore, periods prior to the merger date have not been restated.

NOTE 2 - SECURITIES
         ----------
     Securities  with fixed  maturities  that are classified as Held to Maturity
are carried at cost,  adjusted for  amortization  of premiums  and  accretion of
discounts over the estimated  terms of the  securities  utilizing a method which
approximates the level yield method.  Securities that management intends to hold
for indefinite periods of time (including  securities that management intends to
use as part of its asset/liability  strategy, or that may be sold in response to
changes in interest  rates,  changes in  prepayment  risk,  the need to increase
regulatory  capital or other  similar  factors) are  classified as Available for
Sale. All Equity  Securities  are  classified as Available for Sale.  Securities
Available  for Sale are carried at fair value with  unrealized  gains and losses
recorded  as  adjustments  to  shareholders'  equity  on a tax  effected  basis.
Securities  classified  as  Trading  Securities  are  carried at fair value with
unrealized gains and losses included in earnings.  Gains and losses on the sales
of securities are recorded using the specific identification method.

NOTE 3 - NET INCOME PER SHARE
         --------------------

     Primary  net income per share is  calculated  by  dividing  net income less
preferred  stock  dividends by the  weighted-average  number of shares of common
stock and common stock equivalents outstanding,  when dilutive. The common stock
equivalents  consist of common stock  options and  warrants.  Fully  diluted net
income  per  share  is  calculated  by  dividing  adjusted  net  income  by  the
weighted-average  fully diluted  common  shares,  including the effect of common
stock equivalents and, for the year to date period, the hypothetical  conversion
into common stock of the Series B 7 1/2% Cumulative  Convertible Preferred Stock
("Series B  Stock").  There was no Series B Stock  outstanding  during the third
quarter of 1997. The  weighted-average  number of shares used in the computation
of primary  net income per share for the three and nine months  ended  September
30, 1997, were 14,033,226 and  13,880,236,  respectively,  and for the three and
nine  months  ended   September  30,  1996,   were  13,605,509  and  13,565,666,
respectively.  The weighted-average  number of shares used in the computation of
fully diluted  earnings per share for the three and nine months ended  September
30, 1997, were 14,098,213 and  14,070,469,  respectively,  and for the three and
nine  months  ended   September  30,  1996,   were   14,593,529  and  14,631,507
respectively.

</TABLE>

     The securities  underlying the reverse  repurchase  agreements are all U.S.
Agency collateral and have been delivered to the  broker-dealers who arrange the
transactions.  Webster uses reverse repurchase  agreements when the cost of such
borrowings is less than other funding sources. The quarterly average balance and
the maximum amount of outstanding reverse repurchase agreements at any month-end
during the 1997 third  quarter  period were $472.5  million and $676.0  million,
respectively. The total balance for reverse repurchase agreements outstanding at
December 31, 1996, was $99.1 million.

NOTE 6 - 1997 ACQUISITION COSTS
         ----------------------

     In  connection  with the  acquisitions  of Derby  and  Peoples,  that  were
completed on January 31, 1997 and July 31, 1997, respectively,  Webster recorded
approximately  $27.1 million of merger-related  charges.  Additionally,  Webster
recorded  increases of $5.6 million and $1.5 million to the  provision  for loan
losses  related  to the  acquisition  of Derby and  Peoples,  respectively,  for
conformity to Webster's credit  policies.  In connection with the acquisition of
Sachem on  August 1,  1997,  Webster  recorded  costs  that did not  impact  the
statements of income as that transaction was recorded as a purchase transaction.

     The  following  table  presents  a summary  of the  merger-related  accrued
liabilities (in thousands):

NOTE 7 - ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
         --------------------

     In September  1997,  the Financial  Accounting  Standards  Boards  ("FASB")
issued   Statement  of  Financial   Accounting   Standards  No.  131,   ("SFAS")
"Disclosures  about  Segments of an Enterprise  and Related  Information."  This
statement  establishes  standards  for  the  method  in  which  public  business
enterprises  report  information  about operating  segments in annual  financial
statements and requires that those enterprises report selected information about
operating  segments in interim  reports issued to  shareholders.  This statement
requires that public business  enterprises  report  quantitative and qualitative
information  about its reportable  segments,  including profit or loss,  certain
specific  revenue and expense  items and segment  assets.  This  statement  also
requires  reconciliations  of total segment  revenues,  total segment  profit or
loss,  total  segment  assets  and  other  amounts  disclosed  for  segments  to
corresponding amounts in the consolidated  financial statements.  This statement
is effective for financial  statements for periods  beginning after December 15,
1997 and in the initial year of application, comparative information for earlier
years is required.

     In September 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 130,  "Reporting  Comprehensive
Income."  This  statement  establishes  standards  for  reporting and display of
comprehensive  income  and  its  components  in a full  set of  general  purpose
financial statements.  The objective of this statement is to report a measure of
all changes in equity of an enterprise that result from  transactions  and other
economic events of the period other than transactions with owners. Comprehensive
income is the total of net  income  and all other  non-owner  changes in equity.
This statement is effective for fiscal years  beginning  after December 15, 1997
and  reclassification of financial statements of earlier periods for comparative
purposes is required.

NOTE 7 - ACCOUNTING STANDARDS (continued)
         --------------------

     In February 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 129,  "Disclosure of Information
about Capital  Structure." This statement  establishes  standards for disclosing
information about an entity's capital structure. This statement is effective for
financial statements issued for periods ending after December 15, 1997.

     In February 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 128,  "Earnings per Share." This
statement  simplifies  the standards for computing and  presenting  earnings per
share  previously  found in APB  Opinion  No. 15 and makes  them  comparable  to
international  standards.  It replaces the  presentation of primary earnings per
share  with a  presentation  of basic  earnings  per  share  and  requires  dual
presentation  of basic and diluted  earnings per share on the face of the income
statement for all entities with complex capital structures. Diluted earnings per
share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1997 were $.69 and $1.35
respectively.  This statement is effective for financial  statements  issued for
periods ending after December 15, 1997, including interim periods.


NOTE 8 - CONVERSION OF CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK
         -----------------------------------------

     On January 30, 1997,  Webster completed the sale of $100 million of Webster
Capital Trust I Capital Securities.  Webster Capital Trust I is a business trust
formed for the purpose of issuing capital  securities and investing the proceeds
in junior  subordinated  debentures  issued by  Webster  and due 2027.  The sole
assets of the Trust are the junior subordinated debentures. Interest payments on
the  debentures are tax  deductible by Webster.  The  securities  have an annual
interest rate of 9.36%, payable semiannually, beginning July 29, 1997.

NOTE 10 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
          -----------------

     On October 27, 1997,  Webster  announced a definitive  agreement to acquire
Eagle  Financial  Corp.  ("Eagle"),  on a stock  for stock  basis in a  tax-free
exchange  fixed at 0.84 shares of Webster  common  stock for each share of Eagle
common stock.  At the time of the  announcement,  Eagle had  approximately  $2.1
billion in total assets, $1.1 billion in loans, net and $1.4 billion in deposits
and  operated 30  branches.  Subsequent  to the  acquisition,  Webster will have
approximately  $8.9 billion in total assets and over 110 branch offices prior to
the  consolidation  of overlapping  branches.  Webster  anticipates  recognizing
acquisition  related  charges  of  approximately  $18.9  million on a before tax
basis.

     The  definitive  agreement has been approved by both  companies'  boards of
directors and is subject to the approval of Webster's  and Eagle's  stockholders
and the  appropriate  regulatory  agencies.  Webster  expects the transaction to
close during the first quarter of 1998.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
  STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

GENERAL
- -------

    Webster Financial Corporation ("Webster" ), through its subsidiary,  Webster
Bank, (the "Bank")  delivers  financial  services to  individuals,  families and
businesses located throughout Connecticut. Webster Bank emphasizes four business
lines consumer,  business, mortgage banking, and trust and investment management
services  each  supported by  centralized  administration  and  operations.  The
Corporation has grown significantly in recent years,  primarily through a series
of  acquisitions  which have expanded and  strengthened  its franchise.  Webster
currently  serves  customers  from 84 full service  banking  offices  located in
Hartford,   New  Haven,   Fairfield,   Litchfield  and  Middlesex   counties  in
Connecticut.


CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION
- ------------------------------

     Total assets were $6.8 billion at September  30, 1997,  an increase of $1.2
billion from $5.6  billion at December  31, 1996.  The change in total assets is
due primarily to a net increase in securities of approximately $1.0 billion and
increases in net loans and interest-bearing  deposits of $90.0 million and $85.6
million,  respectively. The increases were funded, in part, by borrowings and by
the capital securities issued in January 1997, as discussed below.

     Net  Segregated  Assets  decreased to $44.8  million at September 30, 1997,
from $75.7  million at December  31,  1996,  due  primarily  to the bulk sale of
approximately $13.7 million of multi-family loans.  Principal repayments and net
charge-offs totaled approximately $12.8 million and $4.4 million,  respectively.
Total net  foreclosed  properties  were $11.0  million at  September  30,  1997,
compared to $13.2  million at December 31, 1996.  The net decrease in foreclosed
properties  of $2.2  million for the  current  nine month  period was  primarily
attributable to sales of $12.6 million and valuation write downs of $6.6 million
that were offset by additions of $17.0 million.

     Total  liabilities  were $6.3 billion at September 30, 1997, an increase of
$1.0  billion  from $5.3  billion at December  31,  1996.  The increase in total
liabilities  for the  current  period  is due  primarily  to a net  increase  in
borrowings  of $1.3  billion that was  partially  offset by a decrease of $192.6
million in deposits.

     On January 30, 1997,  Webster completed the sale of $100 million of Webster
Capital Trust I Capital Securities.  Webster Capital Trust I is a business trust
formed for the purpose of issuing capital  securities and investing the proceeds
in junior  subordinated  debentures,  issued by Webster  and due 2027.  Interest
payments on the debentures are tax deductible by Webster. The securities have an
annual interest rate of 9.36%, payable semiannually, beginning July 29, 1997.

     Shareholders'  equity was $363.6  million at September  30, 1997 and $336.8
million at  December  31,  1996.  At  September  30,  1997,  the Bank had Tier 1
leveraged,  Tier 1 risk-based,  and Total  risk-based  capital  ratios of 5.74%,
12.43% and  13.69%,  respectively.  The Bank  continues  to meet the  regulatory
capital  requirements to be categorized as a "well  capitalized"  institution at
September 30, 1997.

ASSET QUALITY
- -------------

     Webster  devotes  significant  attention to maintaining  high asset quality
through  conservative   underwriting  standards,   active  servicing  of  loans,
aggressively  managing  nonperforming  assets and maintaining  adequate  reserve
coverage on nonaccrual  assets. At September 30, 1997,  residential and consumer
loans  comprised  approximately  88% of the loan  portfolio.  All  fixed  income
securities must have an investment  rating in the top two rating categories by a
major  rating  service  at  time  of  purchase.   Unless  otherwise  noted,  the
information set forth concerning loans,  nonaccrual loans, foreclosed properties
and allowances for loan losses  excludes  Segregated  Assets which are discussed
separately.

million  represented  136.6% of nonaccrual  loans and its total  allowances  for

     Under the Purchase and  Assumption  Agreement with the FDIC relating to the
First  Constitution  Acquisition,  during the first five years after  October 2,
1992  (the  "Acquisition  Date"),  the FDIC is  required  to  reimburse  Webster
quarterly for 80% of all net charge-offs  (i.e.,  the excess of charge-offs over
recoveries)  and certain  permitted  expenses  related to the Segregated  Assets
acquired by Webster.

     During the sixth and seventh years after the Acquisition  Date,  Webster is
required to pay  quarterly to the FDIC an amount equal to 80% of the  recoveries
during such years on Segregated  Assets which were previously  charged-off after
deducting  certain  permitted  expenses  related  to those  assets.  Webster  is
entitled to retain 20% of such  recoveries  during the sixth and  seventh  years
following the Acquisition Date and 100% thereafter.

     Upon  termination of the seven-year  period after the Acquisition  Date, if
the sum of net  charge-offs on Segregated  Assets for the first five years after
the  Acquisition  Date plus  permitted  expenses  during the  entire  seven-year
period,  less any  recoveries  during the sixth and seventh  year on  Segregated
Assets charged off during the first five years,  exceeds $49.2 million, the FDIC
is  required  to pay  Webster an  additional  15% of any such  excess over $49.2
million at the end of the seventh year. At September  30, 1997,  cumulative  net
charge-offs aggregated $58.4 million.

     Gross  Segregated  Assets  decreased  $3.3  million  during  the 1997 third
quarter  period due  primarily  to principal  repayments.  During the first nine
months of the 1997 period,  Webster received  reimbursements for net charge-offs
and  eligible  expenses  on  Segregated  Assets   aggregating  $4.3  million.  A
reimbursement  request totaling  $164,000 has been submitted to the FDIC for the
1997 third quarter period.

ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT
- --------------------------

     The goal of  Webster's  asset/liability  policy is to manage  interest-rate
risk so as to maximize net interest  income over time in changing  interest-rate
environments  while maintaining  acceptable levels of risk. Webster must provide
for  sufficient  liquidity  for  daily  operations  while  maintaining  mandated
regulatory  liquidity  levels.  To this end,  Webster's  strategies for managing
interest-rate  risk are responsive to changes in the  interest-rate  environment
and market demands for particular types of deposit and loan products. Management
measures  interest-rate  risk using duration, GAP and  simulation  analysis with
particular  emphasis  on  measuring  changes in the  market  value of equity and
changes in net interest  income in  different  interest-rate  environments.  The
simulation analyses incorporate  assumptions about balance sheet changes such as
asset and liability growth,  loan and deposit pricing and changes due to the mix
and maturity of such assets and  liabilities.  From such  simulations,  interest
rate risk is quantified and appropriate strategies are formulated.

     As  part  of its  asset/liability  management  strategy,  Webster  utilizes
various interest rate instruments  including short futures  positions,  interest
rate swaps,  interest  rate caps and interest  rate floors.  Webster holds short
futures  positions to minimize the price  volatility of certain  adjustable rate
assets  held as Trading  Securities.  Changes  in the market  value of the short
futures positions and trading securities are recognized as a gain or loss in the
consolidated statements of income in the period for which the change occurred.

     Interest  rate  caps,  interest  rate  floors and  interest  rate swaps are
entered into as hedges against future interest rate  fluctuations.  Webster does
not trade in speculative  interest rate contracts.  Those agreements meeting the
criteria  for hedge  accounting  treatment  are  designated  as  hedges  and are
accounted for as such. If a contract is  terminated,  any  unrecognized  gain or
loss is deferred  and  amortized  as an  adjustment  to the yield of the related
asset or liability  over the remainder of the period that was being  hedged.  If
the linked  asset or  liability  is  disposed  of prior to the end of the period
being managed,  the related interest rate contract is marked to fair value, with
any resulting gain or loss  recognized in current period income as an adjustment
to the gain or loss on the disposal of the related asset or liability.  Interest
income or expense  associated with interest rate caps and swaps is recorded as a
component of net interest income. Interest rate instruments that hedge available
for  sale  assets  are  marked  to  fair  value  monthly  with   adjustments  to
shareholders' equity on a tax effected basis.

     Based on Webster's  asset/liability mix at September 30, 1997, management's
sensitivity analysis of the effects of changing interest rates estimates that an
instantaneous  +/-100  basis  point  change in interest  rates would  change net
interest  income  over the next  twelve  months  by less  than  4.2%.  The above
estimated  market values are subject to factors that could cause actual  results
to differ from such projections and estimates.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Under  regulations  of the Office of Thrift  Supervision,  Webster  Bank is
required to maintain  assets which are readily  marketable in an amount equal to
5% or more of its net  withdrawable  deposits  plus  short-term  borrowings.  At
September  30,  1997,  Webster  Bank  had a  liquidity  ratio of 7.5% and was in
compliance   with  the  applicable   regulations.   Webster  Bank  had  mortgage
commitments  outstanding  of $89.4 million,  non-mortgage  commitments of  $16.3
million,  unused home equity credit lines of $269.6  million,  available  credit
card lines of $90.0 million and commercial lines and letters of credit of $100.0
million.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------

     COMPARISON OF THE THREE AND NINE MONTH PERIODS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 AND
     SEPTEMBER 30, 1996

GENERAL
- -------

     Net income for the three month period ended  September 30, 1997,  excluding
non-recurring  expenses,  was $14.7  million,  or $1.05 per fully  diluted share
compared to $11.0 million or $.75 per fully diluted share for the same period in
1996. Net income for the nine month period ended  September 30, 1997,  excluding
non-recurring  expenses,  was $39.0  million,  or $2.77 per fully  diluted share
compared to $30.9 million,  or $2.11 per fully diluted share for the same period
in 1996.  Including the non-recurring  after tax charges of $5.0 million related
to Webster's acquisition of Peoples, Webster reported net income of $9.7 million
or $0.69 per fully diluted share for the 1997 third quarter period,  compared to
$8.2 million or $0.56 per fully  diluted share for the  respective  1996 period.
Including  the  non-recurring  after tax  charges  of $20.0  million  related to
Webster's  acquisitions  of Derby and  Peoples,  Webster  reported net income of
$19.0  million  or $1.35 per fully  diluted  share for the nine  months of 1997,
compared to $27.9 million or $1.90 per fully  diluted  share for the  respective
1996 period.  Results for the nine months of 1996 included $290,000 of after tax
non-recurring  conversion costs related to the 20 branches acquired from Shawmut
Bank Connecticut N.A. (the "Shawmut  Transaction") and $2.7 million of after tax
non-recurring   costs   related   to  a   one-time   charge   by  the  FDIC  for
recapitalization of the SAIF Fund.

NET INTEREST INCOME
- -------------------

     Net interest  income for the three and nine month periods  ended  September
30, 1997, amounted to $49.6 million and $143.6 million,  respectively,  compared
to $43.8  million and $125.0  million for the  respective  periods in 1996.  The
increases  for the current year period are  primarily  attributable  to a higher
volume of average  interest-earning assets. The net interest rate spread for the
three and nine month  periods ended  September  30, 1997,  were 3.03% and 3.10%,
respectively,  compared  to 3.10% and 3.08% for the same  respective  periods in
1996.  The  decrease in interest  rate spread for the 1997 three month period as
compared to the same respective period in 1996,  reflects a higher cost of funds
that more than offset an increased yield on interest-earning assets.

INTEREST INCOME
- ---------------

     Interest  income for the three and nine month periods  ended  September 30,
1997, amounted to $116.1 million and $326.4 million,  respectively,  compared to
$98.8 million and $286.6 million,  respectively,  for the comparable  periods in
1996. The increases for the three and nine month periods in the current year are
due primarily to a higher volume of average  interest-earning assets, which were
$6.3  billion  and $5.9  billion,  respectively,  for the 1997  periods and $5.4
billion and $5.2 billion, respectively, for the 1996 periods. An increase in the
yield on  interest-earning  assets  for the  current  quarter  period was also a
contributing  factor to the overall increase in interest  income.  When the nine
month  periods are  compared,  the yield on  interest-earning  assets  decreased
slightly in the current  year  period due to a higher  volume of lower  yielding
securities.  The yield on interest-earning  assets for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 1997, was 7.40% and 7.36%,  respectively,  compared to 7.35%
and 7.39%, respectively, for the same periods of the previous year.

INTEREST EXPENSE
- ----------------

     Interest  expense for the three and nine month periods ended  September 30,
1997,  amounted to $66.5 million and $182.9 million,  respectively,  compared to
$55.1 million and $161.5 million for the same periods in 1996. The increases for
the current periods are due primarily to increases in average borrowings,  which
were $1.7 billion and $1.3 billion,  respectively,  for the three and nine month
current  year   periods   compared  to  $598.3   million  and  $677.4   million,
respectively,  for the 1996 periods.  The cost of  interest-bearing  liabilities
increased to 4.37% for the three months ended September 30, 1997, as compared to
4.25% for the same  period  in 1996.  The cost of  interest-bearing  liabilities

MANAGEMENT'S   DISCUSSION  AND  ANALYSIS  OF  CONDENSED  CONSOLIDATED  FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES
- -------------------------

     The  provision  for loan losses  amounted to $3.6 million and $13.5 million
for the three and nine month  periods ended  September  30, 1997,  respectively,
compared to $2.3  million and $6.2 million for the  respective  periods in 1996.
Included in the  provision  for the nine month period ended  September 30, 1997,
was a $7.2 million  provision related to loans acquired in the Derby and Peoples
acquisitions.  At September  30, 1997,  the  allowance for loan losses was $52.3
million and represented  136.6% of nonaccrual  loans,  compared to $43.4 million
and 108.6%, respectively a year earlier.


NONINTEREST INCOME
- ------------------

     Noninterest income for the three and nine month periods ended September 30,
1997, amounted to $9.7 million and $25.7 million, respectively, compared to $8.2
million  and $22.7  million,  respectively,  for the same  periods in 1996.  The
increases  in  noninterest  income  for the three and nine month  periods  ended
September 30, 1997,  compared to the same periods in 1996,  are due primarily to
increased  income from fees and service charges in the 1997 periods.  There were
$1.4 million and $2.4 million of net gains on the sales of securities  and loans
for the three and nine month  periods ended  September  30, 1997,  respectively,
compared to $871,000  and $2.4  million,  respectively,  for the same periods in
1996.

NONINTEREST EXPENSES
- --------------------

     Noninterest  expenses  for the three and nine months  ended  September  30,
1997,  amounted to $39.8 million and $126.1 million,  respectively,  compared to
$36.8 million and $97.9  million for the same  respective  periods in 1996.  The
increases in  noninterest  expenses for the current three and nine month periods
are due  primarily to $7.2 million and $27.1 million of  non-recurring  expenses
related to the  acquisitions of Derby and Peoples  completed on January 31, 1997
and July 31, 1997, respectively.  For the three month period ended September 30,
1997, compared to the same period in 1996,  noninterest  expenses decreased $1.9
million excluding  non-recurring and capital securities  expenses.  Decreases in
salary and benefits  expenses of $578,000 and other  operating  expenses of $1.2
million were primarily responsible for the overall decrease in the current three
month period. The decrease in salaries and benefits expenses and other operating
expenses is primarily  attributed to synergies  achieved  through  acquisitions.
Noninterest  expenses for the 1997 and 1996 nine month  periods were  comparable
after adjusting for non-recurring and capital securities expenses.


INCOME TAXES
- ------------

     Total  income  tax  expense  for the three  and nine  month  periods  ended
September 30, 1997,  amounted to $6.3 million and $10.8  million,  respectively,
compared to $4.6 million and $15.7 million,  respectively,  for the same periods
in 1996.  Income tax expense for the three  months  ended  September  30,  1997,
increased  due to a higher  level of income  before  taxes  compared to the same
period in 1996. Income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 1997,
decreased as compared to the 1996 period due  primarily  to lower income  before
taxes as a result of  non-recurring  expenses  that were  recorded in connection
with the acquisitions of Derby and Peoples.
