                          PEOPLE'S SAVINGS FINANCIAL CORP.              
 
                NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  June 30, 1996

Note A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION                                        
 
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 and six month periods ended June 30, 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 $1.30 million of loans during
the six month period ended June 30, 1996 resulting in capitalized originated
loan servicing rights of approximately $13,000.

</TABLE>

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 and six month periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995,
and its financial condition as of June 30, 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 June 30, 1996 total assets were $437.03 million, an increase of $26.87  
million (or 6.6%) from total assets of $410.16 million at December 31,
1995. Changes in assets consisted of an increase in investment securities
available for sale and an increase in loans, partially offset by a decrease
in cash and cash equivalents and investment securities held to maturity. 
The increase in total assets was funded by an increase in total deposits,
borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank, and repurchase agreements. The 
increase in total deposits was primarily due to growth in the Bank's newer 
branches.  During the six month period ended June 30, 1996 72,500 shares of
treasury stock were purchased at a cost of $1.48 million.  The Corporation 
had unrealized losses on securities available for sale, net of taxes, of
$.26 million at June 30, 1996, a decrease of $.45 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.


CAPITAL                                                          

The Corporation's and the Bank's Tier 1 leverage capital ratios at June 30,
1996 were 10.19% and 9.74% respectively.  The Corporation's and the Bank's 
total risk-based capital ratios at June 30, 1996 were 20.12% and 19.28%
respectively.  The Corporation's and the Bank's Tier 1 risk-based capital
ratios at June 30, 1996 were 19.41% and 18.57%, respectively.  All of the
Corporation's and the Bank's ratios as of June 30, 1996 were well above
applicable minimums.  As of June 30, 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.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS                                           

Net income for the three month period ended June 30, 1996 was $1,209,000,
an increase of $502,000  as compared to $707,000 for the comparable period 
in 1995.  The increase in income for the three month period was primarily
due to the Bank's settlement of a tax claim against the State of
Connecticut which added approximately $304,000 or $.16 per share to net
income.  Net interest income for the three month period ended June 30, 1996
increased by $275,000 primarily due to increased income on loans and
investments and reduced interest expense on borrowings offset by an
increase in interest expense on deposits.  The increase in net income for
the three month period ended June 30, 1996 was also due to increased trust 
fees, decreases in FDIC deposit insurance and other real estate expense,
offset by losses on loans held for sale and increases in salaries and
employee benefits, and other operating expenses. These increases in
salaries and benefit expenses relate to our recent expansion efforts.  

Net income for the six month period ended June 30, 1996 was $2,097,000, an 
increase of $554,000 or 35.9%, from net income of $1,543,000 for the six
month period ended June 30, 1995. The increase in net income for the six
month period ended June 30, 1996 was due primarily to the tax settlement
mentioned above, increased net interest income, trust fees, and lower
expenses related to FDIC deposit insurance and other real estate expenses. 
These increases were partially offset by unrealized losses on loans held
for sale and increases in salaries and benefits, and other operating
expenses relating to our expansion efforts.

</TABLE>


The average balances, interest, yields and rates table shows that for the
three month period ended June 30, 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.  Interest income for the six month period ended 
June 30, 1996 increased when compared to the same period last year
primarily due to increased volume and rate on loans, and increased yield on
investments offset by lower average balance on investments.  The comparison
of interest expense for the three month period ended June 30, 1996 compared
to the same period in 1995 shows that interest expense increased primarily 
due to increased volume of deposits, and to a lesser extent increased rates
on deposits, partially offset by a decrease in the volume of borrowings. 
Interest expense for the six month period ended June 30, 1996 increased
when compared to the same period last year primarily due to increased rate 
on deposits and to a lesser extent volume of deposits partially offset by
decreased borrowings.  This activity is consistent with the changes in the 
Corporation's balance sheet and continued increases in short-term interest 
rates.  During the period the Bank took advantage of an arbitrage
opportunity by borrowing approximately $20 million, currently at a rate of 
6.31% and purchasing approximately $20 million in mortgage-backed
securities with coupon rates of 8%.

Net interest rate spreads increased during the three and six month periods 
ended June 30, 1996 when compared to the same periods last year, because
the Bank's yield on earning assets increased greater than the rate the Bank
paid on its interest bearing liabilities.  The increase in the yield on
earning assets was due primarily to increased yield on investments and to a
lesser extent increased yield on loans.  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 and also to a lesser extent higher rates on borrowings.   The net 
interest rate margin increased for the three and six month periods ended
June 30, 1996 when compared to the same periods of 1995, primarily due to  
reasons mentioned above.  Net interest income for the three and six month
periods ended June 30, 1996 increased primarily due to the increase in the 
net interest rate margin.

</TABLE>


Other income for the three month period ended June 30, 1996 increased  by  
$120,000 as compared to the same period in 1995.  The increase was
primarily due to a decrease in investment securities losses and increased
trust income partially offset by unrealized losses on loans held for sale. 
The unrealized losses on loans held for sale was due to the rise in
interest rates which decreased the market value of these loans.  Trust
assets under management at June 30, 1996 totaled $364,000,000.00 compared
to $241,000,000.00 at June 30, 1995.  Other operating income increased by
$35,000 for the quarter as compared to the same quarter last year.

Other income for the six month period ended June 30, 1996 increased by
$89,000 as compared to the same period in 1995.  The increase was primarily
due to increased trust fees, increased other operating income, and a
decrease in losses on investment securities.  The increases were partially 
offset by a decrease in trading account gains and unrealized losses on
loans held for sale caused by the increase in interest rates mentioned
above.  The trading account was liquidated during the first quarter of
1995.


The following table details the significant increases and decreases in
other expenses for the three and six month periods ended June 30.

</TABLE>


Non-interest expense increased slightly for the three month period ended
June 30, 1996, from the comparable period of 1995.  The increase was
primarily due to increased salaries and benefit expenses and increased
other operating expenses, caused primarily by the continued growth of our
trust department, our new commercial loan department, and .  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 second
quarter ended June 30, 1995, compared to a rate of $.00 per year for every 
$100 in deposits during the second 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 second quarter of 1996 and a reduced number of foreclosed
properties.


Non-interest expense increase slightly for the six months ended June 30,
1996 as compared to the same period last year.  The increase was primarily 
due to increased salaries and benefits, and increased other operating
expenses,  partially offset by a decrease in FDIC deposit insurance
premiums and other real estate expenses.  The reasons for the changes in
the six month period are consistent with the changes in the three month
period explained above.


The effective tax rate for the three month period ended June 30, 1996
decreased to 17.1% from 38.7% for the same period in 1995.  The effective
tax rate for the six month period ended June 30, 1996 decreased to 27.2%
from 39.9% for the same period in 1995.  The decrease was primarily due to 
the Bank's settlement of a tax claim against the State of Connecticut
mentioned previously, 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%
