Item 5.  Other Events

         Eagle  Financial Corp.  ("Eagle"),  the holding company for Eagle Bank,
adjusted its earnings  upward for the last quarter of its 1997 fiscal year which
ended on September 30, 1997.  Earnings for the three months ended  September 30,
1997 were adjusted to $4.5 million,  or $0.68 per share,  compared to previously
reported  net income of $4.3  million,  or $0.65 per  share.  Net income for the
twelve months ended  September  30, 1997 was $7.3  million,  or $1.12 per share,
versus previously reported net income of $7.1 million, or $1.08 per share.

         The change primarily relates to a positive valuation  adjustment to the

December.  Eagle  acquired  MidConn  Bank  on  a  stock  for  stock  basis  in a
transaction that consummated in May 1997.
