The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and
Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the 
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management,
all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered
necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  Operating results for
the three month period ended March 31, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of
the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 1996  For
further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and
footnotes thereto included in the Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-K 
for the year ended December 31, 1995.

Certain 1995 amounts have been reclassified to conform with the 1996
presentation.  These reclassifications had no impact on net income.


Note B - CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES                             

On January 1, 1996, the Corporation adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 121 Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for
Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of.  The adoption of this accounting
standard had no impact on the Corporation's financial condition or results of
operations because, in the opinion of management, it did not hold any long-
lived assets that were impaired.

On January 1, 1996, the Corporation adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 122 "Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights - an amendment of
FASB Statement No. 65."  The adoption of this accounting standard had an
immaterial impact on the Corporation's financial condition and results of
operations because it only originated for sale $1.03 million of loans during
the quarter ended March 31, 1996 resulting in capitalized originated loan
servicing rights of approximately $10,000.

The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level believed adequate by
management to absorb potential losses in the loan portfolio.  The adequacy 
of the allowance is determined by management's evaluation of known and
inherent risks in the loan portfolio and prevailing economic conditions and
the Bank's loss experience.  The allowance is increased by provisions for
loan losses charged against income. 


Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
         Condition and Results of Operations.

General                                                          
 
This section presents management's discussion and analysis of the
consolidated results of operations for People's Savings Financial Corp.
(the "Corporation") and The People's Savings Bank of New Britain (the
"Bank") for the three month period ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, and its
financial condition as of March 31, 1996.  In order to understand this
section in context, it should be read in conjunction with the consolidated 
financial statements and notes thereto.


Financial Condition                                               

At March 31, 1996 total assets were $406.28 million, a decrease of $3.89 
million (or .9%) from total assets of $410.16 million at December 31, 1995.
Changes in assets consisted of a decrease in investment securities and cash
and cash equivalents partially offset by an increase in net loans. Total
deposits increased by $2.82 million (or .8%) from December 31, 1995, and
borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank totaling $4.32 million were
repaid. The increase in total deposits was primarily due to growth in the
Bank's newer branches.  During the quarter 46,000 shares of treasury stock 
were purchased at a cost of $.94 million.  The Corporation had unrealized
losses on securities available for sale, net of taxes, of $.22 million at
March 31, 1996, a decrease of $.41 million from a gain of $.19 million at
December 31, 1995, primarily due to the rise in interest rates at the end
of the first quarter.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS                                           
      
Net income for the three month period ended March 31, 1996 was $888,000 as 
compared to $836,000 for the comparable period in 1995.  The increase in
income for the three month period was primarily due to a slight increase in
net interest income, increased trust fees, a large decrease in FDIC deposit
insurance premiums, a reduction in other real estate expenses, and a lower 
effective tax rate. These increases were partially offset by unrealized
losses on loans held for sale, a decrease in trading account gains, and an 
increase in salaries and benefits.  These increases in salaries and benefit
expenses relate to our recent expansion efforts.

</TABLE>


The average balances, interest, yields and rates table shows that for the
three month period ended March 31, 1996 compared to the same period in 1995
there was an increase in interest income caused primarily by increased
volume of loans and yield on loans, and yield on investments offset by
lower investment balances.  The comparison of interest expense for the
three month period ended March 31, 1996 compared to the same period in 1995
shows that interest expense increased primarily due to increased rates on
deposits, and to a lesser extent increased volume of deposits, partially
offset by a decrease in the volume of borrowings.  This activity is
consistent with the changes in the Corporation's balance sheet and
continued increases in short-term interest rates during the quarter.

Net interest rate spreads decreased slightly during the three month period 
ended March 31, 1996 when compared to the same period last year, because
the Bank's yield on earning assets increased less than the rate the Bank
paid on its interest bearing liabilities.  The increase in the yield on
earning assets was due to increased yield on loans and investments.  The
rate the Bank pays on its interest bearing liabilities increased primarily 
due to higher interest rates on the Bank's deposits, which includes a shift
in deposits to higher interest rate certificate of deposits from lower
interest rate deposit accounts.   The net interest rate margin increased
slightly for the three month period ended March 31, 1996 when compared to
the same period of 1995, primarily due to interest income increasing by a
larger percentage than the increase in average interest earning assets,
partially offset by the reasons mentioned above.  Net interest income for
the three month period ended March 31, 1996 increased primarily due to the 
increase in the net interest rate margin.


CAPITAL                                                          
The Corporation's and the Bank's Tier 1 leverage capital ratios at March
31, 1996 were 10.19% and 9.52% respectively.  The Corporation's and the
Bank's total risk-based capital ratios at March 31, 1996 were 19.39% and
18.17% respectively.  The Corporation's and the Bank's Tier 1 risk-based
capital ratios at March 31, 1996 were 18.67% and 17.45%, respectively.  All
of the Corporation's and the Bank's ratios as of March 31, 1996 were well
above applicable minimums.  As of March 31, 1996, the Corporation and the
Bank fall within the highest capital category of "well capitalized" under
the rules of the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation.

</TABLE>


Other income for the three month period ended March 31, 1996 decreased by
$31,000 as compared to the same period in 1995.  The decrease was primarily
due to unrealized losses on loans held for sale, investment securities
losses and a decrease in trading account gains.  The unrealized losses on
loans held for sale was due to the rise in interest rates during the
quarter which decreased the market value of these loans.  These decreases
were partially offset by increased trust fees and other operating income.
Trust assets under management at March 31, 1996 totaled $336,000,000.00
compared to $229,000,000.00 at March 31, 1995, an increase of 46.7%. During
the first quarter of 1995 the Bank's trading account was liquidated. 
 
The following table details the significant increases and decreases in
other expenses for the three month period ended March 31.

</TABLE>


Non-interest expense increased slightly for the three month period ended
March 31, 1996, from the comparable period of 1995.  The increase was
primarily due to increased salaries and benefit expenses, caused primarily 
by the continued growth of our trust department and our new commercial loan
department.  This increase was partially offset by a reduction in FDIC
deposit insurance premiums.  The Bank paid a rate of $.23 per year for
every $100 during the first quarter ended March 31, 1995, compared to a
rate of $.00 per year for every $100 in deposits during the first quarter
of 1996.  The Bank will continue to pay a rate of $.00 plus a flat $500.00 
fee per quarter until such time that the FDIC changes the rate. Other real 
estate expenses decreased when compared to 1995 due to gains on sales of
foreclosed real estate record during the first quarter of 1996 and a
reduced number of foreclosed properties.

The effective tax rate for the three month period ended March 31, 1996
decreased to 37.5% from 40.8% for the same period in 1995.  The decrease
was primarily due to an increase in dividend income which qualifies for the
Federal dividend received deduction and a decrease in the State of
Connecticut tax rate to 10.75% from 11.25%
