ITEM 2.  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

         On  May  31,  1997,  Eagle  Financial  Corp.   (Eagle)   completed  its
acquisition of MidConn Bank pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as
of January 27, 1997 (the "Merger  Agreement").  At March 31, 1997,  MidConn Bank
had total assets of approximately $362 million,  total deposits of approximately
$312 million and ten branch offices located in central Connecticut.

         In accordance with the Merger  Agreement,  the merger was effected on a
stock-for-stock  basis in a tax-free  exchange  resulting  in MidConn Bank being
merged into Eagle's wholly-owned subsidiary,  Eagle Bank. Each outstanding share
of MidConn Bank common stock was converted  into .86 of a share  of Eagle common
stock,  plus cash in lieu of fractional  shares, at a value of approximately $24
