WEBSTER FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

The Consolidated Interim Financial Statements include the accounts of Webster
Financial Corporation ("Webster" or the "Company") and its subsidiaries. The
Consolidated Interim Financial Statements and Notes thereto have been prepared
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form
10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of
the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America 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. All
significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Amounts in prior period financial statements are reclassified whenever necessary
to conform to current period presentations. The results of operations for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of
the results which may be expected for the year as a whole.

The preparation of the Consolidated Interim Financial Statements in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities, as of the date of the Consolidated Interim Financial Statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the periods presented. The
actual results of Webster could differ from those estimates. Material estimates
that are susceptible to near-term changes include the determination of the
allowance for loan losses and the valuation allowance for the deferred tax
asset. These Consolidated Interim Financial Statements should be read in
conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto
included in Webster's 2001 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2001.

adequate to absorb probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The allowance
is increased by provisions charged to operating expense and by recoveries on
loans previously charged-off, and reduced by charge-offs on loans.

The following table provides a summary of the activity in the allowance for loan
losses for the indicated periods:

NOTE 5: DEFERRED TAX ASSET, NET
- -------------------------------

The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions
of the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities at September 30, 2002
and December 31, 2001 are summarized below. Temporary differences arise for the
future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial
statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their
respective tax bases. A 100% valuation allowance has been applied to the State
of Connecticut deferred tax assets since Webster expects to have minimal
Connecticut income tax liability for the foreseeable future.

During the third quarter 2002 period, the Bank received a $2.5 million one-year
advance at a rate of 0.95%. This advance is part of the FHLB's Affordable
Housing Program ("AHP") in which Webster chose to participate. The $2.5 million
advance is part of an overall $4.2 million award to the Bank by FHLB through the
AHP. The program is designed to act as an indirect subsidy to construction or
redevelopment projects to allow for decreased interest and/or operating costs
and thereby help keep rents at an affordable level.

FHLB advances are secured by a blanket security agreement. This agreement
requires the Bank to maintain as collateral certain qualifying assets,
principally mortgage loans and securities. At September 30, 2002, Webster had
$460.2 million of additional borrowing capacity at the FHLB. Investment
securities were not utilized as qualifying collateral. Had securities been used
for collateral, additional borrowing capacity would be approximately $1.8
billion at September 30, 2002. At September 30, 2002, the Bank was in compliance
with the FHLB collateral requirements.

The Retail Banking segment includes investment and insurance services, consumer
lending and the Bank's deposit generation and direct banking activities, which
include the operation of automated teller machines and telebanking customer
support, sales and small business banking. The Retail Banking segment also
includes the Bank's residential real estate loan origination, loan servicing and
secondary marketing activities.

The Business Banking segment includes the Bank's commercial and industrial,
equipment financing and commercial real estate lending activities. This segment
also includes business deposits, cash management activities for business
banking, financial advisory services, government finance and all trust
activities including Webster Financial Advisors.

Treasury
- --------

The Treasury segment includes short-term investments, investment securities,
Federal Home Loan Bank advances, repurchase agreements and other borrowings.

Adjustments
- -----------

Management fully allocates indirect expenses to its segments. These expenses
include administration, finance, operations and other support functions.
Adjustments for expenses not allocated to any segment for the three and nine
month periods ending September 30, 2002 and 2001 were capital securities expense
of $3.2 million, $10.4 million, $3.6 million and $10.8 million, respectively,
and minority interest credits and (charges) of ($192,000), $274,000, and
$139,000, $415,000, respectively.

Allocations to segments are subject to periodic adjustment as the internal
management accounting system is revised and business or product lines within the
segments change. Also, because the development and application of these
methodologies is a dynamic process, the financial results presented may be
periodically revised.

In January 2001, a $1.8 million charge to earnings, or $1.2 million, net of
taxes, was recorded for the early extinguishment of debt. A prepayment penalty
was incurred on seven Federal Home Loan Bank advances totaling $155.3 million
with rates between 6.30% and 8.20% and remaining maturity dates ranging from 1
month to 20 months.

NOTE 11: CUMULATIVE EFFECT OF CHANGE IN METHOD OF ACCOUNTING
- ------------------------------------------------------------

In June 1999, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS"), No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities". This Statement established accounting and
reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative
instruments embedded in other contracts (collectively referred to as
derivatives), and for hedging activities. The accounting for changes in the fair
value of a derivative depends on the intended use of the derivative and the
resulting designation. Under this Statement, an entity that elects to apply
hedge accounting is required to establish at the inception of the hedge the
method it will use for assessing the effectiveness of the hedging derivative and
the measurement approach for determining the ineffective aspect of the hedge.
Those methods must be consistent with the entity's approach to managing risk.
SFAS No. 133, as amended by SFAS No. 137, was effective for all fiscal quarters
of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2001. In June 2001, the FASB issued
SFAS No. 138, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an
amendment to SFAS No. 133". This Statement amended the accounting and reporting
standards of SFAS No. 133 for certain derivative instruments and certain hedging
activities. Upon adoption, hedging relationships must be designated anew and
documented pursuant to the provisions of this Statement. The Company implemented
SFAS No. 133 as of January 1, 2001. The implementation of SFAS No. 133 resulted
in a $3.6 million charge to earnings, or $2.4 million net of taxes, for
derivatives that did not qualify for hedge accounting under SFAS No. 133.
Webster also reclassified all held to maturity securities to available for sale
as permitted under SFAS No. 133, as amended.

In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations", and SFAS
No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets". The Company adopted the
provisions of SFAS No. 141 effective July 1, 2001 and adopted the provisions of
SFAS No. 142 effective January 1, 2002.

During the second quarter of 2002, Webster completed its review of the carrying
value of its goodwill and other intangible assets in compliance with the
requirements of SFAS No. 142. As a result of this review, Webster determined
that a portion of the goodwill related to its investment in Webster D&P
Holdings, Inc. ("Duff & Phelps") was impaired, and recorded a one-time
transitional charge of $11.2 million, or $7.3 million after taxes. The charge
was recorded effective January 1, 2002 and is included in the Consolidated
Statements of Income for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 in accordance
with the transitional rules under SFAS 142. This review revealed no impairment
in any other portion of goodwill. See Note 13 of Notes to Consolidated Interim
Financial Statements for further information concerning SFAS Nos. 141 and 142.

for information on the effect of SFAS Nos. 142 and 147 on earnings per share.

NOTE 13: GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS
- ---------------------------------------

In July 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations", and SFAS
No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets". SFAS No. 141 requires that the
purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations initiated
after September 30, 2001 as well as all purchase method business combinations
completed after September 30, 2001. SFAS No. 141 also specifies criteria
intangible assets acquired in a purchase method business combination must meet
to be recognized and reported apart from goodwill. SFAS No. 142 requires that
goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives no longer be
amortized, but instead be tested for impairment at least annually in accordance
with the provisions of SFAS No. 142. SFAS No. 142 also requires that intangible
assets with definite useful lives be amortized over their respective estimated
useful lives to their estimated residual values, and reviewed for impairment in
accordance with SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of
Long-Lived Assets".


19

WEBSTER FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 141 effective July 1, 2001 and
adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 142 effective January 1, 2002. SFAS No. 141
requires that upon adoption of SFAS No. 142, the Company evaluate its existing
intangible assets and goodwill that were acquired in a prior purchase business
combination, and to make any necessary reclassifications in order to conform
with the new criteria in SFAS No. 141 for recognition apart from goodwill. Upon
adoption of SFAS No. 142, the Company is required to reassess the useful lives
and residual values of all intangible assets acquired in purchase business
combinations, and make any necessary amortization period adjustments by the end
of the first interim period after adoption. In addition, to the extent an
intangible asset is identified as having an indefinite useful life, the Company
is required to test the intangible asset for impairment in accordance with the
provisions of SFAS No. 142 within the first interim period. Any impairment loss
is to be measured as of the date of adoption and recognized as the cumulative
effect of a change in accounting principle in the first interim period. SFAS No.
142 also requires impairment testing of goodwill within the first nine months of
adoption. Goodwill impairment testing is a two step process. The first step
involves comparing the fair value of a reporting unit to its carrying value. If
the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, step two is
required. The second step involves the allocation of the reporting unit's fair
value to all its assets and liabilities as if the reporting unit had been
acquired as of the date of measurement. The implied fair value of goodwill is
then determined and compared to its carrying value. Any impairment loss
resulting from completion of the transitional impairment test of goodwill will
be recognized as a cumulative effect of accounting change and will be recognized
in the first interim accounting period.

During the first quarter of 2002, upon the implementation of SFAS No. 142,
Webster performed a reevaluation of the remaining useful lives of all previously
recognized other intangible assets with finite useful lives and found no
adjustment necessary to the amortization periods used. Webster also found that
no reclassifications of intangible assets were required. The review of the
carrying value of goodwill was completed during the second quarter of 2002. As a
result, it was determined that a portion of the goodwill related to the
acquisition of Duff & Phelps, LLC was impaired. Accordingly, a one-time
transitional charge of $7.3 million, after taxes, was recognized retroactive to
January 1, 2002, in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 142. The
valuation analysis utilized a discounted cash flow analysis that valued a stream
of free cash flows, including a terminal value, to estimate an imputed value for
Duff & Phelps. No other portion of goodwill or other intangible assets was
determined to be impaired. The imputed value of Duff & Phelps has been impacted
by the extremely challenging business environment and especially by the slowdown
in mergers and acquisitions activity, which comprised a significant portion of
Duff & Phelps revenues at the date of Webster's purchase.

In October 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 147, "Acquisitions of Certain
Financial Institutions". SFAS No. 147 amends SFAS No. 72, "Accounting for
Certain Acquisitions of Banking or Thrift Institutions", and allows the
provisions of SFAS No. 142 to be applied to the purchase acquisitions of
financial institutions if certain criteria are met. Webster adopted SFAS No. 147
during the third quarter of 2002 with application effective as of January 1,
2002, as permitted by this statement. For the nine months ending September 30,
2002, Webster would have recorded $827,000 of intangible amortization expense
related to the previous acquisitions of Chase and Fleet-Boston branches. The
reported net income for the first and second quarters of 2002 was adjusted to
reverse the effects of recorded amortization, in accordance with the provision
of SFAS No. 147. In addition, $20.3 million of goodwill related to these branch
purchases was reclassified from intangible assets, which was subject to
amortization, to goodwill, which is subject to impairment analysis.

NOTE 14: DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
- -----------------------------------------

At September 30, 2002, Webster had outstanding interest rate swaps with a
notional amount of $500 million. These swaps are to hedge FHLB advances and
qualify for fair value hedge accounting under SFAS No. 133. The swaps are used
to transform FHLB advances from fixed rate to floating rate debt. Three hundred
million dollars of the interest rate swaps mature in 2004 and two hundred
million dollars in 2007 and an equivalent amount of the hedged advances mature
on the two dates. At December 31, 2001, the Bank had no derivatives that
qualified for hedge accounting under SFAS No. 133.

The Bank transacts certain derivative products with its customer base. These
customer derivatives are offset with matching derivatives with other
counterparties in order to minimize the Bank's risk. The Bank's exposure with
respect to these derivatives is limited to nonperformance by either of the
parties in the transaction - the Bank's customer or the other counterparty.

The Bank also has rate lock commitments extended to borrowers that relate to the
origination of mortgage loans held for sale ("rate locks"). To mitigate the
interest rate risk inherent in rate locks, as well as closed mortgage loans held
for sale ("loans held for sale"), the Bank enters into mandatory forward
commitments to sell mortgage-backed securities and best efforts forward
commitments to sell individual mortgage loans ("forward commitments"). Rate
locks and forward commitments are considered to be derivatives under SFAS No.
133. The estimated fair value of the rate locks and forward commitments are
recorded on the balance sheet in either other assets or other liabilities, with
the offset to net gain on sales of loans, included in loan and loan servicing
fees.

The fair value of a rate lock is estimated based on the expected profit or loss
to be realized on the underlying loan, including the estimated value of the
servicing rights associated with the loan, as well as the probability that the
rate lock will be exercised by the borrower ("fallout factor"). For rate locks
associated with optional ("best efforts") forward commitments, fair value is
estimated based on the pricing specified in the related forward commitment. The
fair value of mandatory forward commitments is based on current pricing obtained
from independent third parties.



22

WEBSTER FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At September 30, 2002, the Company had rate locks of approximately $497.0
million, mandatory forward commitments of approximately $424.0 million, and best
efforts forward commitments of approximately $62.9 million. The recording of the
estimated fair value of the rate locks and forward commitments, offset by the
lower of cost or market adjustment on the residential mortgage loans held for
sale portfolio, did not significantly impact the Consolidated Interim Financial
Statements. At December 31, 2001, the Company had rate locks of approximately
$79.7 million, mandatory forward commitments of approximately $194.0 million,
and best efforts forward commitments of approximately $1.4 million.

NOTE 15: RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
- ------------------------------------

On October 1, 2002, FASB issued SFAS No. 147, "Acquisitions of Certain Financial
Institutions". The statement provides guidance on the accounting for the
acquisition of a financial institution and amends SFAS No. 72, "Accounting for
Certain Acquisitions of Banking or Thrift Institutions". The Company adopted
SFAS No. 147 during the third quarter period, with a required effective date of
January 1, 2002. Refer to Note 13 of Notes to Consolidated Interim Financial
Statements for information concerning the impact of SFAS No. 147 on Webster.

On July 30, 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated
with Exit or Disposal Activities". The standard requires companies to recognize
costs associated with exit or disposal activities when they occur rather than at
the date of commitment to an exit or disposal plan. SFAS No. 146 is to be
applied prospectively to exit or disposal activities initiated after December
31, 2002. Management does not expect any material impact on its financial
statements when the statement is adopted.

On July 24, 2002, Webster announced, effective July 1, 2002, it will begin using
SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", as the method of
accounting for employee stock-based compensation. Under the provisions of SFAS
No. 123, Webster had previously elected to use APB No. 25 to account for
employee stock-based compensation. By electing to use the provisions of SFAS No.
123, compensation expense will be recorded for employee stock option grants
using the fair value method and amortized over the vesting period. Under current
guidance, the impact of using SFAS No. 123 to account for employee stock-based
compensation will be to reduce diluted earnings per share by $0.01 in 2002.
During the initial phase-in period, the effects of applying SFAS No. 123 are not
likely to be representative of the effect on future years, because generally
options vest over several years and additional grants are made each year. Refer
to Note 15 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Webster's
2001 Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information on the effects of electing
to use SFAS No. 123 to account for employee stock-based compensation.

In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, "Rescission of SFAS Nos. 4, 44 and
64, Amendment of SFAS No. 13, and Technical Corrections". This statement amends
SFAS No. 13, "Accounting for Leases", to eliminate an inconsistency between the
required accounting for sale-leaseback transactions and the required accounting
for certain lease modifications that have economic effects that are similar to
sale-leaseback transactions. This statement also amends other existing
authoritative pronouncements to make various technical corrections, clarify
meanings, or describe their applicability under changed conditions. SFAS No. 145
is effective for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002, with early
application encouraged. Management does not expect any material impact on its
financial statements when this statement is adopted.

On October 3, 2001, FASB issued SFAS No. 144 "Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets". This Statement addresses financial accounting
and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. This
Statement supersedes SFAS No. 121 "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived
Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of". This Statement also
supersedes the accounting and reporting provisions of APB Opinion No. 30
"Reporting the Results of Operations-Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a
Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary,


23

WEBSTER FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions". The changes in
this Statement improve financial reporting by requiring that one accounting
model be used for long-lived assets to be disposed of by broadening the
presentation of discontinued operations to include more disposal transactions.
This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2001 and interim periods within those fiscal years.
The provisions of this Statement are to be applied prospectively. The Company
adopted SFAS No. 144 effective January 1, 2002, without material impact on its
financial statements.

On August 16, 2001, FASB issued SFAS No. 143 "Accounting for Asset Retirement
Obligations". SFAS No. 143 addresses financial accounting and reporting for
obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the
associated asset retirement costs. SFAS No. 143 applies to all entities. This
Statement requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement
obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable
estimate of fair value can be made. The associated asset retirement costs are
capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset. Under this
Statement, the liability is discounted and the accretion expense is recognized
using the credit-adjusted risk-free interest rate in effect when the liability
was initially recognized. FASB issued this Statement to provide consistency for
the accounting and reporting of liabilities associated with the retirement of
tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. This
Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 2002. Earlier application is permitted. The Company
does not expect any material impact on its financial statements when this
Statement is adopted.

In July 2001, FASB issued SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations", and SFAS No.
142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets". Statement No. 141 requires that the
purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations initiated
after June 30, 2001 as well as all purchase method business combinations
completed after June 30, 2001. SFAS No. 141 also specifies criteria intangible
assets acquired in a purchase method business combination must meet to be
recognized and reported apart from goodwill. Statement No. 142 requires that
goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives no longer be
amortized, but instead be tested for impairment at least annually in accordance
with the provisions of Statement No. 142. Statement No. 142 also requires that
intangible assets with definite useful lives be amortized over their respective
estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values, and reviewed for
impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of". The Company
adopted the provisions of Statement No. 141 effective July 1, 2001 and the
provisions of Statement No. 142 effective January 1, 2002. Refer to Note 13 of
Notes to Consolidated Interim Financial Statements for information concerning
the impact of SFAS Nos. 141 and 142 on Webster.


NOTE 16: CORPORATION-OBLIGATED MANDATORILY REDEEMABLE CAPITAL SECURITIES OF
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUBSIDIARY TRUSTS
- -----------------

In 1997, Webster formed a statutory business trust, Webster Capital Trust I
("Trust I"), of which Webster owns all of the common stock. Trust I exists for
the sole purpose of issuing trust securities and investing the proceeds in an
equivalent amount of subordinated debentures of the Company. On January 31,
1997, Trust I completed a $100 million underwritten public offering of 9.36%
Corporation-Obligated Manditorily Redeemable Capital Securities of Webster
Capital Trust I ("capital securities"). The sole asset of Trust I was $100
million of Webster's 9.36% junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures
due in 2027 ("subordinated debt securities"), purchased by Trust I on January
30, 1997.

On April 1, 1997, Eagle Financial Capital Trust I, subsequently renamed Webster
Capital Trust II ("Trust II"), completed a $50 million private placement of
10.00% capital securities. Proceeds from the issue were invested by Trust II in
junior subordinated deferrable debentures issued by Eagle due in 2027. These
debentures represent the sole assets of Trust II.

The subordinated debt securities are unsecured obligations of Webster and are
subordinate and junior in right of payment to all present and future senior
indebtedness of Webster. Webster has entered into guarantees, which together
with Webster's obligations under the subordinated debt securities and the
declarations of trust governing Trust I and Trust II, including its obligations
to pay costs, expenses, debts and liabilities (other than trust securities),
provides a full and unconditional guarantee of amounts on the capital
securities.

During the third quarter 2002, Webster purchased $2.4 million of its capital
securities that were issued by Webster Capital Trust I. At September 30, 2002,
Webster Capital Trust I, had remaining capital securities outstanding of $92.7
million and Webster Capital Trust II, had remaining capital securities
outstanding of $40.0 million. Refer to Webster's 2001 Annual Report filed on
Form 10-K for further information concerning Webster's Capital Trust I and II.

Expense of the securities, including amortization of issuance costs, for the
three months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, was $3.2 million and $3.6
million, respectively, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and
2001, was $10.4 million and $10.8 million, respectively.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- -------------------------

GENERAL
- -------

Webster Financial Corporation ("Webster" or the "Company"), through its
subsidiaries, Webster Bank (the "Bank"), Webster Insurance, Inc. ("Webster
Insurance"), and Webster D&P Holdings, Inc. ("Duff & Phelps"), delivers
financial services to individuals, families and businesses primarily in
Connecticut and equipment financing and financial advisory services to public
and private companies throughout the United States. Webster Bank provides
business and consumer banking, mortgage lending, trust and investment services
and insurance services through 110 banking offices, 214 ATM's and its Internet
website (www.websteronline.com). Webster commenced trading of its common stock
on the New York Stock Exchange under the new symbol of "WBS" on October 17,
2002. Previous to this date, Webster's common stock traded on the NASDAQ under
the symbol of "WBST". The Bank was founded in 1935 and converted from a federal
mutual to a federal stock institution in 1986. Webster's financial reports can
be accessed through its website within 24 hours of filing with the SEC.

FINANCIAL CONDITION
- -------------------

Webster, on a consolidated basis at September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001,
had total assets of $13.3 billion and $11.9 billion, respectively, including
total securities of $4.1 billion and $4.0 billion, respectively, and net loans
of $8.2 billion and $6.9 billion, respectively. At September 30, 2002 and
December 31, 2001, total deposits were $7.4 billion and $7.1 billion,
respectively, borrowings were $4.7 billion and $3.5 billion, respectively, and
shareholders' equity totaled $1.0 billion at each date.

Total assets increased $1.4 billion, or 11.9%, at September 30, 2002 from
December 31, 2001. The overall increase is primarily due to increases in loans
of $1.3 billion and securities of $108.7 million. The increase in loans was due
to increases in residential loans of $324.0 million, home equity loans of $483.9
million, equipment financing of $70.1 million and commercial loans of $446.6
million. The growth in the commercial loan portfolio is primarily due to the
purchase of approximately $451.0 million of asset-based loans from IBJ Whitehall
Business Credit Corporation in August 2002.

Total liabilities rose $1.4 billion or 13.1% at September 30, 2002 from December
31, 2001 primarily due to increases in borrowings of $1.1 billion and deposits
of $287.0 million. The increase in deposits was primarily the result of
increases in core deposits, consisting of demand, NOW, regular savings and MMDA
accounts, of $494.0 million that was partially offset by a decrease in
certificates of deposits of $207.0 million. The increase in total borrowings was
primarily due to funding needs resulting from the asset-based loan purchase.
Refer to Notes 6 and 7 of Notes to Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
contained within this report for further information on Webster's borrowings.
The net increase in total equity of $34.8 million is primarily due to net income
of $113.3 million, $46.5 million in tax-affected unrealized gains on the
available for sale securities and $5.1 million in stock option exercise
proceeds, partially offset by $107.8 million in repurchases of Webster common
stock and $26.7 million in common stock dividend payments.

During the second and third quarter 2002 periods, Webster acquired $17.3 million
of its capital securities that were issued by Webster Capital Trust I and II.
