NOTE 1.  Basis of Presentation

In the opinion of Bancorp Connecticut, Inc. (the "Corporation"), 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 March 31, 1997 and the results of

1996. The results of its operations for the periods shown are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

Certain 1996 amounts have been reclassified to conform with the 1997
presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on net income.

NOTE 5.  Earnings Per Share

In February, 1997, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 128 "Earnings Per Share" ("SFAS 128"). SFAS 128 provides accounting and
reporting standards for the calculation of earnings per share intended to
simplify the computation by replacing the presentation of primary earnings per
share with a presentation of basic earnings per share. The Corporation will be
required to adopt SFAS 128 in the fourth quarter of 1997. Had earnings per share
for the quarter ended March 31, 1997 been computed in accordance with SFAS 128,
basic earnings per share would have been $.55 and diluted earnings per share
would have been $.52, and basic and diluted earnings per share would have been
$.48 and $.45, respectively, for the quarter ended March 31, 1996.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION AND FOR ASSISTANCE IN READING THIS REPORT, REFER TO THE
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND FOOTNOTES INCLUDED IN THE REGISTRANT'S ANNUAL REPORT ON
FORM 10-K FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 AND TO THE MANAGEMENT'S
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION INCLUDED

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

                       First Quarter Ended March 31, 1997


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


Changes in Financial Condition

Trading Account Securities
- --------------------------

Trading account securities decreased by $2,360,000 from December 31, 1996 to
March 31, 1997 due to sales, the proceeds of which were temporarily reinvested
into Federal funds sold.

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

Total investment securities decreased from $149,611,000 as of December 31, 1996
to $147,110,000 as of March 31, 1997 due primarily to United States Treasury
obligations which matured during the first quarter.

Deposits
- --------

Total deposits decreased by $6,336,000 or 2.1% during the first quarter of 1997
as compared to December 31, 1996 partially as a result of maturities of
certificates of deposits most of which had an original maturity of less than one
year as well as a decrease in demand and NOW account balances.

Borrowings
- ----------

Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston increased by $3,800,000 or
18.1% during the first quarter ended March 31, 1997 compared to December 31,
1996 to fund the purchase of mortgage backed securities of approximately
$5,000,000.


Changes in Results of Operation

Earnings
- --------

Net income for the quarter ended March 31, 1997 was $1,415,000 as compared to
$1,284,000 for the first quarter of 1996, an increase of 10.2%. The increase was
primarily due to higher net interest

                                       -9-

income and a lower level of noninterest expense. The annualized return on
average assets for the quarter ended March 31, 1997 was 1.36% as compared to
1.31% for the quarter ended March 31, 1996.

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

Net interest income increased $163,000 or 4.6% for the first quarter of 1997 as
compared to the same quarter of 1996. Interest income increased $422,000 for the
three month period ended March 31, 1997 as compared to the same period in 1996,
primarily as a result of an increase in average interest earning assets in the
amount of $23,650,000 or 6.2% as compared to the prior year's quarter. The tax
equivalent yield on earning assets remained flat at 7.92% for the current
quarter as compared to 7.91% for the same quarter of 1996. Interest expense
increased $259,000 or 7.0%, primarily from a $23,188,000 or 7.1% increase in
average interest bearing liabilities as compared to the prior year's quarter.
While the cost of borrowings increased and the cost of deposits declined, the
overall cost of funds remained the same at 4.50% for the first quarter of 1997
and 1996.

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

The provision for loan losses increased to $150,000 for the first quarter of
1997 as compared to $75,000 for the same quarter of 1996. This increase is due
to the fact that the emphasis continues to be on commercial loan growth which
conveys a slightly higher risk, therefore the allowance for loan loss is
adjusted to the level that is commensurate with the risks in the loan portfolio.
As of March 31, 1997, nonperforming loans totaled $3,439,000 or 1.36% of total
loans as compared to $3,624,000 or 1.51% on March 31, 1996.

The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of nonperforming loans was 144.5%
as of March 31, 1997 as compared to 139.9% on March 31, 1996. Net loan
charge-offs for the first quarter of 1997 were $57,000 as compared to $493,000
for the first quarter of 1996. The net charge-offs in 1996 include the
nonrecoverable amount from the settlement of several foreclosure actions that
had been in litigation since 1991.

Nonperforming assets increased slightly to $4,599,000 or 1.1% of total assets as
of March 31, 1997 as compared to $4,306,000 or 1.0% as of December 31, 1996, an
increase of 6.8%. (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 $484,000 for the first quarter of 1997 as compared to
$530,000 for the same quarter of 1996, a decrease of 8.7%. The decrease was
primarily due to net securities gains of $182,000 in the current quarter as
compared to $215,000 for the same quarter of 1996.

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

Noninterest expenses decreased by $139,000 or 6.6% for the first quarter of 1997
as compared to the same quarter of 1996. The primary reason for the decrease is
attributable to gains realized on the sale of certain OREO properties which
resulted in net income on OREO of $13,000 for the first quarter of 1997 compared
to net expense on OREO of $82,000 for the same quarter in 1996. In addition,
there was a decrease in other expenses of $65,000 or 15.4% for the quarter
ending March 31, 1997 as compared to the same period in 1996 as a result of
tighter expense control during the period.

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

Estimated income taxes for the first quarter of 1997 were $688,000 as compared
to $638,000 for the same quarter of 1996. The increase was primarily due to the
generation of income before taxes of $2,103,000 through March 31, 1997 as
compared to $1,922,000 for the same period of 1996. The effective tax rate for
the first quarter of 1997 was 32.7% as compared to 33.2% for the same period of
1996, and is lower than the expected statutory rate due to the Federal and State
dividends received deduction.
