NOTE 1.  Basis of Presentation

In the opinion of Bancorp Connecticut, Inc. (the "Registrant"), the
accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements
contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring
adjustments) necessary to present fairly its financial position as
of September 30, 1996 and the results of operations and cash flows
for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1996 and
1995.  The results of its operations for the periods shown are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full
year.

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

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


                     Third Quarter Ended September 30, 1996

Bancorp Connecticut, Inc. ("the Registrant") is the holding company of
Southington Savings Bank (the "Bank"). Since the Bank is the Registrant's sole
subsidiary, the Registrant's earnings and financial condition are predicated
almost entirely on the performance of the Bank.

Changes in Financial Condition

Investments
- -----------

Total investments increased from $130,550,000 at December 31, 1995 to
$138,004,000 at September 30, 1996. The increase was primarily due to the
purchase of mortgage-backed securities in the held-to- maturity portfolio which
was primarily funded by proceeds from sales of available-for-sale securities.

Loans
- -----

Gross loans increased from $237,154,000 at December 31, 1995 to $252,020,000 at
September 30, 1996 due to an increase in volume of residential mortgage
originations as a result of favorable rates, an increase in commercial loans
(including commercial real estate) due to a concentration of efforts in this
area and an increase in consumer loans due to the continuation of the automobile
loan purchase program initiated in the fourth quarter of 1995.

Other Real estate owned
- -----------------------

Other real estate owned increased by $1,168,000 from December 31, 1995 to
September 30, 1996 primarily as a result of the settlement of a lawsuit during
the first quarter of 1996 which enabled the Bank to take possession of
properties that collateralized various loans which were involved in the
litigation.

Deposits
- --------

Total deposits increased $4,280,000 or 1.5% from December 31, 1995


                                        9
<PAGE>

to September 30, 1996 primarily as a result of CD promotions and a free checking
account program during the year which brought new money into the Bank.

Shareholder's equity
- --------------------

On June 19, 1996, the Registrant issued a six-for-five stock split effected in
the form of a stock dividend. In connection with the split, common stock was
credited and additional paid in capital was charged for the aggregate par value
of the shares that were issued. In addition, the Registrant has repurchased
approximately 91,300 shares into treasury between December 31, 1995 and
September 30, 1996 which is accounted for by the cost method.


Changes in Results of Operations

Earnings
- --------

Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 1996 was $1,283,000 as compared
to $1,161,000 for the third quarter of 1995, an increase of 10.5%. The increase
was primarily due to higher net interest income, and to a lesser extent, an
increase in noninterest income. The annualized return on average assets for the
quarter ended September 30, 1996 was 1.27% as compared to 1.25% for the quarter
ended September 30, 1995.

Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 was $3,757,000 as
compared to $3,404,000 for the same period of 1995. The increase was primarily
due to higher net interest income, a higher level of net securities gains and
increased noninterest income as well as a substantial reduction in FDIC
insurance premiums which took effect during the latter part of 1995. The
annualized return on average assets for the nine months ended September 30, 1996
was 1.26% as compared to 1.25% for nine months ended September 30, 1995.

Net Interest Income
- -------------------

Net interest income increased $282,000 or 8.1% for the third quarter of 1996 as
compared to the same quarter of 1995. Interest income increased $556,000 or 7.9%
for the three month period ended September 30, 1996 as compared to the same
period in 1995,


                                       10
<PAGE>

primarily as a result of an increase in average interest earning assets of
$28,315,000 or 7.8% as compared to the prior year's quarter. The tax equivalent
yield on earning assets increased to 8.03% for the current quarter as compared
to 7.98% for the same quarter of 1995. Interest expense increased $274,000 or
7.7%, primarily from an increase in average interest bearing liabilities of
$25,943,000 or 8.3% as compared to the prior year's quarter. The Bank's cost of
funds decreased to 4.52% for the current quarter as compared to 4.54% for the
same quarter of 1995.

Net interest income increased $590,000 or 5.7% for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 as compared to the same period in 1995. Interest income
increased $1,942,000 or 9.6% as compared to the same nine month period of 1995
primarily due to an increase in average interest earning assets of 8.5% during
the period. The tax equivalent yield on earning assets increased to 7.96% as
compared to 7.87% for the same nine month period in 1995. Interest expense
increased $1,352,000 or 13.7% for the first nine months of 1996 as compared to
the first nine months of 1995. Average interest bearing liabilities increased
8.8% as compared to the prior year's period, while the Bank's cost of funds
increased to 4.49% for the first nine months of 1996 compared to 4.30% for the
same period of 1995.

Provision for Loan Losses
- -------------------------

The provision for loan losses increased to $125,000 for the third quarter of
1996 as compared to $70,000 for the same quarter of 1995 in response to an
increase in commercial loans during 1996. As of September 30, 1996,
nonperforming loans totaled $3,813,000 or 1.51% of total loans as compared to
$6,808,000 or 2.93% on September 30, 1995. This reduction is due to the
settlement of foreclosure actions during the first quarter of 1996 which
resulted in the transfer of approximately $3 million from non-performing loans
to other real estate owned.

The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of nonperforming loans was 130.1%
as of September 30, 1996 as compared to 82.4% on September 30, 1995. Net loan
charge-offs for the third quarter of 1996 were $66,000 as compared to $225,000
for the same quarter of 1995.

For the nine months ended September 30, 1996, the provision for


                                       11
<PAGE>

loan losses was $300,000 as compared to $130,000 for the same period in 1995.
Net charge-offs for the first nine months of 1996 totaled $827,000 as compared
to $658,000 for the same period in 1995 and include the nonrecoverable amount
from the settlement of the foreclosure actions mentioned previously.

Nonperforming assets declined to $5,853,000 or 1.5% of total assets as of
September 30, 1996 as compared to $7,683,000 or 2.0% as of September 30, 1995, a
decline of 23.8%. (See note 4 to the unaudited consolidated financial
statements.)

Management believes the allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level that
is adequate to absorb losses within the loan portfolio. (See notes 3 and 4 to
the unaudited consolidated financial statements.)

Other Income
- ------------

Noninterest income was $385,000 for the third quarter of 1996 as compared to
$285,000 for the same quarter of 1995, an increase of 35.1%. The increase was
primarily due to a $59,000 or 64.8% rise in Trust department revenues which was
generated by both a higher level of assets under management and estate
settlements. In addition, other income increased by $29,000 or 39.7% primarily
as a result of a gain on the sale of property owned by the Bank.

Noninterest income for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 totaled
$1,306,000 as compared to $881,000 for the same period in 1995, an increase of
48.2%. The primary reason for the increase was an increase in net securities and
trading account gains to $304,000 for the nine month period ended September 30,
1996 from $57,000 for the same period of 1995. In addition, trust fees increased
$84,000 or 32.6% for the nine month period ended September 30, 1996 as compared
to the same period of 1995 due to an increase in assets under management as well
as estate fees.

Other Expenses
- --------------

Noninterest expenses increased $124,000 or 6.2% for the third quarter of 1996 as
compared to the same quarter of 1995. Salaries and benefits increased $112,000
or 10.6% during the third quarter of 1996 in comparison to the same quarter of
1995 as a result of normal compensation adjustments and the inception of a
supplemental


                                       12

<PAGE>

pension plan for selected senior officers. 

Noninterest expenses increased $279,000 or 4.6% for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 as compared to the same period in 1995. Salaries and benefits
increased $281,000 or 9.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 as
compared to the same period in 1995 due to normal compensation adjustments and
the inception of supplemental pension plan during the third quarter of 1996. In
addition, legal expense increased $57,000 or 36.1% for the nine month period
ended September 30, 1996 as compared to the same period in 1995 due primarily to
additional costs resulting from the settlement of a lawsuit during the period.
Finally, advertising costs increased by $33,000 or 17.1% due to an extended
checking account campaign, the introduction of 24 hour telephone banking and
additional advertising for loan products during 1996. These increases were
partially offset by a reduction in FDIC insurance premiums from 0.23% of
deposits to the minimum of $1,000 semiannually which resulted in a decrease in
premiums of $299,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to
the same period in 1995.

Income Taxes
- ------------

Estimated income taxes for the third quarter of 1996 were $610,000 as compared
to $529,000 for the same quarter of 1995. The increase was primarily due to the
generation of income before taxes of $1,893,000 for the quarter ended September
30, 1996 as compared to $1,690,000 for the same quarter of 1995. The effective
tax rate for the third quarter of 1996 was 32.2% as compared to 31.3% for the
same quarter of 1995, and is lower than the expected statutory rate due to the
Federal and State dividends received deduction.

Estimated income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 were
$1,813,000 as compared to $1,600,000 for the same period in 1995. The increase
was primarily due to the generation of income before taxes of $5,570,000 for the
nine months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to $5,004,000 for the same
period in 1995. The effective rate for the first nine months of 1996 was 32.5%
as compared to 32.0% for the same period of 1995.

Exhibit 10.5
                            SOUTHINGTON SAVINGS BANX
                          SUPPLEMENTAL RETIREMENT PLAN

         This instrument is executed by Southington Savings Bank to record its
adoption of a Supplemental Retirement Plan for the benefit of certain of its
employees, effective as of January l, 1996, on-the terms and conditions
hereinafter set forth.

                                    RECITALS
                                    --------

         Southington Savings Bank maintain for the benefit of certain employees
a retirement plan known as the Southington Savings Bank Defined Benefit Pension
Plan (That retirement plan, together with any subsequent amendments and future
restatements, is referred to herein as the "Retirement Plan").

         According to Section 40l(a)(17) of the Internal Revenue Code, effective
for tax years beginning after December 31, 1988, the Retirement Plan may not
take into account annual compensation of any employee that exceeds $200,000 as
adjusted for years prier to 1994, and $150,000 as adjusted for years thereafter
(such limit for each such year being hereafter referred to as the "401(a)(17)
Cap").

         Section 415 of the Internal Revenue Code also imposes limitations on
the benefit payable to certain Participants of the Retirement Plan (the "Section
415 Limitations").

         The Employer wishes to supplement the retirement benefits of certain
Participants of the Retirement Plan so as to compensate for the reduction in
those retirement benefits by reason of the


<PAGE>

imposition of the Section 401(a) (17) Cap and the Section 415 Limitations.

          In view of the foregoing the Employer hereby adopts the Southington
Savings Bank Supplemental Retirement Plan (the "Plan"), effective immediately,
on the following terms and conditions:

          1. Covered Employees. This Plan applies to those employees of the
employer who are Participants in the Retirement Plan and who have been expressly
named by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors for coverage by
this Plan. The Compensation Committee shall name only employees who are highly
compensated or management employees. At the present time, Robert D. Morton is
the only Participant named for coverage by this Plan.

          2. Retirement Benefits. When payment of a retirement benefit,
including a survivor benefit, under the Retirement Plan is to commence, if such
benefit is less than it would have been if (~) annual compensation exceeding the
401(a)(17) Cap was considered, and (ii) the Section 415 Limitations were
ignored, the Employer will pay a supplemental benefit to the Participant,
surviving spouse or other beneficiary, as the case may be. The supplemental
benefit shall equal the amount by which the benefit payable under the Retirement
Plan is in fact less than it would have been if calculated in accordance with
items (i) and (ii) of the preceding sentence.

         3. Death Benefits. Except for the payment of the survivor benefit, if
any, under section 2 of the Plan, no other death benefits shall be paid under
this Plan.

         4. Manner of Payment of Retirement Benefits. Retirement benefits
payable under this Plan shall be paid in (l) any form permitted under the
Retirement Plan, (2) a lump sum payment, or (3) a fixed number of substantially
equal annual installments, commencing when the Participant begins receipt of his
or her benefits under the Retirement Plan, which in the aggregate constitute the
actuarial equivalent (as determined using the assumptions set forth on Schedule
A hereto) of the benefits payable hereunder in accordance with Section 2 hereof.
Benefits hereunder will be paid to the same person as is receiving the benefits
under the Retirement Plan. The Participant must irrevocably elect the manner of
payment at least thirteen months before he or she commences his or her benefits
under this Plan.

         5. Fundinq of Benefits. Benefits under this Plan will be paid out of
the general assets of the Employer. The Employer may not prefund benefits under
this Plan by means of any trust fund (other than a Rabbi Trust), annuity
contract or funded reserve. Any accrual of liabilities under this Plan on the
books of the Employer is for accounting purposes only and shall not be construed
as indicative of any prefunding or earmarking of assets or revenues for use in
discharge of liabilities under this Plan.

         6. Nonalienation of Benefits. Neither the Participant nor his or her
Beneficiary or heirs shall have any right to commute,

sell, transfer, assign, or otherwise convey the right to receive any payments
under the terms of this Agreement.

         7. Administration. This Plan shall be administered by the Compensation
Committee of the Board of Directors of the Bank. The Compensation Committee may
allocate any administrative responsibility under the Plan to any member of such
Committee or any other individual or group of individuals.

         8. Cancellation of Benefit for Cause. No benefit will be payable under
this Plan, and any benefits already in payment status will cease, if the
Employer determines that the Employee has engaged in any activity in the
Employee's dealings with the Employer which, if proved in a criminal proceeding,
could result in conviction for a felony under Connecticut law.

         9. Amendment and Termination. This Plan may be amended or terminated at
any time by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Any such
action shall be effective prospectively and shall not serve to reduce any right
to a benefit earned under this Plan up to the date of such action.

         10. Definitions. Terms used herein shall have the same meanings as in
the Retirement Plan

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Employer has executed this document this 30th
day of July, 1996.
