PEOPLE’S UNITED FINANCIAL, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Unaudited)

NOTE 1. GENERAL

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of People’s United Financial, Inc. (“People’s United Financial”) have been prepared to reflect all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations as of the dates and for the periods shown. All significant intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to the current period presentation. The company has considered all subsequent events through August 7, 2009, the date of issuance of these financial statements, for potential recognition and/or disclosure herein.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make significant estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from management’s current estimates, as a result of changing conditions and future events. The current economic environment has increased the degree of uncertainty inherent in these significant estimates.

Note 1 to People’s United Financial’s audited consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, as supplemented by the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2009 and this Quarterly Report for the period ended June 30, 2009, provides disclosure of People’s United Financial’s significant accounting policies. Several accounting estimates are particularly critical and are susceptible to significant near-term change, including the allowance for loan losses, the valuation of derivative financial instruments, and asset impairment judgments, such as other-than-temporary declines in the value of securities and the recoverability of goodwill and other intangible assets. These significant accounting policies and critical estimates are reviewed with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. The judgments used by management in applying these critical accounting policies may be affected by a further and prolonged deterioration in the economic environment, which may result in changes to future financial results. For example, subsequent evaluations of the loan portfolio, in light of the factors then prevailing, may result in significant changes in the allowance for loan losses in future periods, and the inability to collect outstanding principal may result in increased loan losses.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted or condensed. As a result, the accompanying consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with People’s United Financial’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for the entire year or any other interim period.

Bank-Owned Life Insurance

Bank-owned life insurance (“BOLI”) represents the cash surrender value of life insurance policies purchased on the lives of certain management-level employees. BOLI funds are invested in separate accounts and are supported by a stable wrap agreement to fully insulate the underlying investments against changes in fair value. Increases in the cash surrender value of these policies and death benefits in excess of the related invested premiums are included in non-interest income in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The company’s BOLI policies have been underwritten by highly-rated third party insurance carriers and the investments underlying these policies are deemed to be of low-to-moderate market risk.

Employee Benefit Plans

People’s United Financial Employee Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans

People’s United Financial maintains a qualified noncontributory defined benefit pension plan that covers substantially all full-time and part-time employees who meet certain age and length of service requirements and who were employed by People’s United Bank prior to August 14, 2006. Benefits are based upon the employee’s years of credited service and either the average compensation for the last five years or the average compensation for the five consecutive years of the last ten years that produce the highest average.

New employees of People’s United Bank starting on or after August 14, 2006 are not eligible to participate in the defined benefit pension plan. Instead, People’s United Financial makes contributions on behalf of these employees to a qualified defined contribution plan in an annual amount equal to 3% of the covered employee’s eligible compensation. Employee participation in this plan is restricted to employees who are at least 21 years of age and worked at least 1,000 hours in a year. Both full-time and part-time employees are eligible to participate as long as they meet these requirements.

In addition, People’s United Financial maintains (i) unfunded, nonqualified supplemental plans to provide retirement benefits to certain senior officers and (ii) an unfunded plan that provides retirees with optional medical, dental and life insurance benefits (“other postretirement benefits”). People’s United Financial accrues the cost of these postretirement benefits over the employees’ years of service to the date of their eligibility for such benefits. People’s United Financial’s funding policy is to contribute the amounts required by applicable regulations, although additional amounts may be contributed from time to time.

On January 1, 2008, People’s United Financial adopted the measurement date transition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans.” In doing so, People’s United Financial performed a measurement of plan assets and benefit obligations as of January 1, 2008 and recorded the net periodic benefit cost for the period between the measurement date used for purposes of 2007 year-end reporting (September 30, 2007) and December 31, 2007 as an adjustment, net of tax, to the opening balance of retained earnings as of January 1, 2008. Other changes in the fair value of plan assets and the benefit obligations for the period between September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2007 were recognized, net of tax, as a separate adjustment to the opening balance of accumulated other comprehensive loss as of January 1, 2008. Application of the transition provisions of SFAS No. 158 on January 1, 2008 resulted in People’s United Financial recording a pre-tax reduction in retained earnings of $0.4 million ($0.3 million net of tax) and a pre-tax increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss of $1.6 million ($1.0 million net of tax).

Components of the net periodic benefit expense (income) for the plans described above are as follows:


							Other
For the three months ended June 30	Pension Benefits						Postretirement Benefits

Chittenden Pension Plan

In addition to the plans described above, People’s United Financial continues to maintain a fully-funded qualified defined benefit pension plan that covers former Chittenden employees who meet certain eligibility requirements. Effective December 31, 2005, benefits accrued under this defined benefit plan were frozen based on participants’ then current service and pay levels. Net periodic benefit income for this plan totaled $0.7 million for both the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008.

Employee Stock Ownership Plan

In April 2007, People’s United Financial established an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the “ESOP”). At that time, People’s United Financial loaned the ESOP $216.8 million to purchase 10,453,575 shares of People’s United Financial common stock in the open market. In order for the ESOP to repay the loan, People’s United Financial expects to make annual cash contributions of approximately $18.8 million until 2036. Such cash contributions may be reduced by the cash dividends paid on unallocated ESOP shares. At June 30, 2009, the loan balance totaled $208.1 million.

Shares of People’s United Financial common stock are held by the ESOP and allocated to eligible participants annually based upon a percentage of each participant’s eligible compensation. Since the ESOP was established, 871,133 shares of People’s United Financial common stock have been allocated or committed to be released to participants’ accounts. At June 30, 2009, a total of 9,582,442 shares of People’s United Financial common stock, with a fair value of $144.4 million, have not been allocated or committed to be released.

Compensation expense related to the ESOP is recognized at an amount equal to the number of common shares committed to be released by the ESOP for allocation to participants’ accounts multiplied by the average fair value of People’s United Financial’s common stock during the reporting period. The difference between the fair value of the shares of People’s United Financial’s common stock committed to be released and the cost of those common shares is recorded as an adjustment to either additional paid-in capital (if fair value exceeds cost) or retained earnings (if fair value is less than cost). Expense recognized for the ESOP totaled $2.9 million for both the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008.

NOTE 2. ACQUISITION OF CHITTENDEN CORPORATION

On January 1, 2008, People’s United Financial completed its acquisition of Chittenden Corporation (“Chittenden”), a multi-bank holding company headquartered in Burlington, Vermont. Total consideration paid in the Chittenden acquisition of $1.8 billion consisted of approximately $1.0 billion in cash and 44.3 million shares of People’s United Financial common stock with a fair value of approximately $0.8 billion. Cash consideration was paid at the rate of $35.636 per share of Chittenden common stock and stock consideration was paid at the rate of 2.0457 shares of People’s United Financial common stock per share of Chittenden common stock. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase and accordingly, Chittenden’s assets and liabilities were recorded by People’s United Financial at their estimated fair values as of January 1, 2008. Goodwill resulting from the Chittenden acquisition totaled $1.16 billion and other acquisition-related intangible assets recorded in connection with the Chittenden acquisition totaled $292.9 million at January 1, 2008 (see Note 7).

Merger-related expenses totaling $41.0 million were recorded in the first quarter of 2008. Included in this amount was a $4.5 million charge to the provision for loan losses to align allowance for loan losses methodologies across the combined organization. In addition, non-interest expense included $36.5 million of merger-related charges, including asset impairment charges ($19.3 million), costs relating to severance and branch closings ($10.5 million), and other accrued liabilities ($6.7 million).

Of the 31 securities owned by People’s United Financial at June 30, 2009, eight state and municipal securities classified as available for sale with a fair value of $0.3 million had continuous unrealized losses for a period greater than 12 months totaling less than $25,000 at that date. In addition, 12 other securities classified as available for sale with a fair value of $336.9 million had continuous unrealized losses for a period less than 12 months totaling $1.2 million at June 30, 2009. These securities included GSE residential mortgage-backed securities ($332.8 million) and U.S. Treasury securities ($4.1 million) whose unrealized losses were attributable to changes in interest rates.

Management reviews securities with unrealized losses on a regular basis in accordance with the applicable impairment measurement and recognition guidance including SFAS No. 115, SAB No. 111, FSP FAS 115-1 and FAS 124-1, and FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2. Management has the ability and intent to hold the securities classified as held to maturity until they mature, at which time People’s United Financial expects to receive full value for the securities. Furthermore, as of June 30, 2009, with respect to securities classified as available for sale, management had no intent to sell those securities and determined it was not more likely than not that the company will be required to sell those securities before recovery of the amortized cost. Accordingly, as of June 30, 2009, management believes that all impairments within the securities portfolio are temporary in nature. No impairment losses were recognized in People’s United Financial’s Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008.

The remaining period to contractual maturity for available for sale debt securities, other than residential mortgage-backed securities, and held to maturity debt securities, are as follows: $11.2 million within 1 year; $0.8 million after 1 but within 5 years; $0.1 million after 5 but within 10 years; and $0.2 million after 10 years.

People’s United Bank, as a member of the FHLB of Boston, is currently required to purchase and hold shares of capital stock in the FHLB of Boston in an amount equal to its membership base investment plus an activity based investment determined according to the company’s level of outstanding FHLB advances. FHLB stock is a non-marketable equity security and is, therefore, reported at cost, which equals par value (the amount at which shares have been redeemed in the past). As with other investment securities, the investment in FHLB stock is periodically evaluated for impairment based on, among other things, the capital adequacy of the FHLB and its overall financial condition. The FHLB has reported recent operating losses and a decline in capital, and has, as a result, suspended paying dividends and placed a moratorium on certain stock repurchases. However, based on the capital adequacy and liquidity position of the FHLB, management believes there is no impairment in the company’s investment in FHLB stock at June 30, 2009.

In the second quarter of 2009, People’s United Financial sold residential mortgage-backed securities with an amortized cost of $723 million and recorded $12.1 million of gross realized gains (People’s United Financial uses the specific identification method to determine the cost of securities sold). As of June 30, 2009, a portion of the proceeds have been reinvested in residential mortgage-backed securities with longer maturities and substantially equivalent yields.

In the first quarter of 2008, People’s United Financial recorded a gain of $5.6 million (included in net security gains in the Consolidated Statements of Income) resulting from the mandatory redemption of a portion of its Class B Visa, Inc. shares as part of Visa’s initial public offering (“IPO”). People’s United Financial obtained its ownership in Visa shares as a result of its acquisition of Chittenden, which was a Visa member. In addition, People’s United Financial recorded a gain of $1.3 million in the first quarter of 2008 (also included in net security gains), which represented its proportionate share of the litigation reserve escrow account established by Visa in conjunction with its IPO. Net security gains in the first quarter of 2009 include a gain of $5.6 million resulting from the sale of People’s United Financial’s remaining Class B Visa shares.

At June 30, 2009, short-term investments included $1.1 billion of GSE debt securities with maturities of 90 days or less. Given the short duration of these securities, they are held to maturity and carried at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. These securities, which carry the implicit backing of the U.S. government but are not direct obligations of the U.S. government, had a weighted average yield of 0.19% at June 30, 2009. The remaining balance of short-term investments at June 30, 2009 included $1.1 billion of interest-earning deposits at the Federal Reserve Bank and $0.5 billion of FDIC-guaranteed commercial paper, money market investments and federal funds sold.

NOTE 5. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

Comprehensive income represents the sum of net income and items of “other comprehensive income or loss” that are reported directly in stockholders’ equity on an after-tax basis. These items include (i) net actuarial gains and losses, prior service credits and costs, and transition assets and obligations related to People’s United Financial’s pension and other postretirement benefit plans, (ii) net unrealized gains or losses on securities available for sale, and (iii) net gains or losses on derivatives accounted for as cash flow hedges. People’s United Financial’s total comprehensive income for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 is reported in the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Stockholders’ Equity.

The components of accumulated other comprehensive loss, which is included in People’s United Financial’s stockholders’ equity on an after-tax basis, are as follows:


(in millions)	June 30, 2009			December 31, 2008
Net actuarial loss and other amounts related to pension and other postretirement benefit plans	$	(103.7	)	$	(106.0	)
Net gain on derivatives accounted for as cash flow hedges		20.8			26.8
Net unrealized (loss) gain on securities available for sale		(0.4	)		3.8

Total accumulated other comprehensive loss	$	(83.3	)	$	(75.4	)

The increase in total accumulated other comprehensive loss from December 31, 2008 consisted of an after-tax decrease in the net gain on derivatives accounted for as cash flow hedges ($6.0 million) and an after-tax increase in the net unrealized loss on securities available for sale ($4.2 million), partially offset by an after-tax decrease in the net actuarial loss and other amounts related to pension and other postretirement benefit plans ($2.3 million). Other comprehensive loss, which is presented net of tax, totaled $7.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. There are no other-than-temporary impairment losses recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss at June 30, 2009 pursuant to FSP FAS 115-2 and 124-2 (see Note 3).

NOTE 6. EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

The following is an analysis of People’s United Financial’s basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”):


	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
(in millions, except per share data)	June 30, 2009		June 30, 2008		June 30, 2009		June 30, 2008
Net income	$	27.4	$	43.0	$	54.1	$	58.1


Average common shares outstanding for basic EPS		331.8		328.7		331.7		328.3
Effect of dilutive stock options and unvested stock awards		1.2		1.5		1.2		1.4

Average common and common-equivalent shares for diluted EPS		333.0		330.2		332.9		329.7


Basic EPS	$	0.08	$	0.13	$	0.16	$	0.18


Diluted EPS	$	0.08	$	0.13	$	0.16	$	0.18

All unallocated ESOP common shares and all common shares accounted for as treasury shares have been excluded from the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share. Anti-dilutive stock options and unvested stock awards excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS totaled 9.6 million for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, and 9.7 million and 10.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively.

Effective January 1, 2009, People’s United Financial adopted the FSP on Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 03-6-1, “Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities.” Under FSP EITF 03-6-1, unvested share-based payment awards that include the right to receive non-forfeitable dividends or dividend equivalents are considered to participate with common stock in undistributed earnings. Accordingly, companies that issue share-based payment awards considered to be participating securities under FSP EITF 03-6-1 are required to calculate basic and diluted earnings per common share amounts under the two-class method. The two-class method excludes from earnings per common share calculations any dividends paid or owed to participating securities and any undistributed earnings considered to be attributable to participating securities. FSP EITF 03-6-1 requires retrospective application to all prior-period earnings per share data presented. The adoption of FSP EITF 03-6-1 did not change earnings per common share amounts for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 or 2008.

NOTE 7. GOODWILL AND OTHER ACQUISITION-RELATED INTANGIBLE ASSETS

People’s United Financial’s goodwill totaled $1.26 billion at both June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008. At June 30, 2009, goodwill was allocated to People’s United Financial’s business segments as follows: Commercial Banking ($616.9 million), Retail Banking and Small Business ($595.0 million), and Wealth Management ($49.8 million).

People’s United Financial’s other acquisition-related intangible assets totaled $263.6 million and $274.1 million at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. At June 30, 2009, the carrying amounts of other acquisition-related intangible assets were as follows: core deposits intangible ($98.7 million); trust relationships ($38.4 million); insurance relationships ($3.8 million); and trade names ($122.7 million). Trade names recognized by People’s United Financial are deemed to have indefinite useful lives and, accordingly, are not amortized. Amortization expense of other acquisition-related intangible assets, which is included in other non-interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income, totaled $5.3 million for both the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, and $10.5 million for both the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008. The estimated aggregate amortization expense attributable to other acquisition-related intangible assets for the full-year of 2009 and each of the next five years is as follows: $20.5 million in 2009; $18.4 million in 2010; $16.8 million in 2011; $15.5 million in 2012; $14.9 million in 2013; and $13.7 million in 2014.

NOTE 8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

In the normal course of business, People’s United Financial has various outstanding commitments and contingent liabilities that are not required to be and, therefore, have not been reflected in the consolidated financial statements. In addition, in the normal course of business, People’s United Financial is subject to various legal proceedings. Management has discussed the nature of these legal proceedings with legal counsel. In the opinion of management, People’s United Financial’s financial condition and results of operations will not be affected materially as a result of the outcome of such commitments, contingent liabilities and legal proceedings.

NOTE 9. BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION

See “Business Segment Results” in Item 2 for segment information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008.

NOTE 10. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Effective January 1, 2008, People’s United Financial adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” for (i) all financial instruments and (ii) non-financial instruments accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis, if any. FSP FAS 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157,” deferred until January 1, 2009 the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for non-financial instruments that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a non-recurring basis. Accordingly, the fair value measurement and disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 157 now also apply to People’s United Financial for the following valuation measures: (i) goodwill and other acquisition-related intangible assets; (ii) real estate acquired by foreclosure; and (iii) other long-lived assets.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly.” FSP FAS 157-4 affirms that the objective of fair value, even when the market for an asset is not active, is the price that would be received to sell the asset in an orderly transaction. In order to address application issues, FSP FAS 157-4 clarifies and provides additional factors to be considered in determining whether there has been a significant decrease in market activity for an asset when the market for that asset is not active, requiring an entity to base its conclusion about whether a transaction was not orderly on the weight of all available evidence. FSP FAS 157-4 also amended SFAS No. 157 to expand certain disclosure requirements. FSP FAS 157-4 was effective for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 and did not result in any significant change in valuation techniques and related inputs, or the resulting fair values.

SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a new framework for measuring fair value, and expands related disclosures. The provisions of SFAS No. 157 are to be applied whenever other standards require (or permit) assets and liabilities to be measured at fair value, but does not require the use of fair value measurements in any new circumstances.

Broadly, the SFAS No. 157 framework defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Accordingly, SFAS No. 157 requires an “exit price” approach to value. In support of this principle, SFAS No. 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value, requiring entities to maximize the use of market or observable inputs (as more reliable measures) and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs generally require significant management judgment. The three levels within the SFAS No. 157 fair value hierarchy are as follows:

•

Level 1—Unadjusted quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access at the measurement date (such as active exchange-traded equity securities and most U.S. and government agency debt securities).

•

Level 2—Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as:

•

quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets (such as U.S. agency and GSE issued mortgage-backed securities);

•

quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets (such as corporate and municipal bonds that trade infrequently); and

•

other inputs that (i) are observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability (e.g. interest rates, yield curves, prepayment speeds, default rates, etc.) or (ii) can be corroborated by observable market data (such as interest rate and currency derivatives and certain other securities).

•

Level 3—Valuation techniques that require unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and are significant to the fair value measurement of the asset or liability (such as pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that typically reflect management’s own estimates of the assumptions a market participant would use in pricing the asset or liability).

People’s United Financial maintains policies and procedures to value assets and liabilities using the most relevant data available. Described below are the valuation methodologies used by People’s United Financial and the resulting fair value measurement of those financial instruments reported at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis.

Investments in Debt and Equity Securities

When available, People’s United Financial uses quoted market prices received from a third party nationally recognized pricing service, to determine the fair value of investment securities such as U.S. Treasury and agency securities. Accordingly, such instruments are included in Level 1. When quoted market prices for identical securities are unavailable, People’s United Financial uses prices provided by the independent pricing service based on recent trading activity and other observable information including, but not limited to, market interest rate curves, referenced credit spreads and estimated prepayment rates where applicable. These investments include corporate and municipal debt securities, and government agency-issued mortgage-backed securities, all of which are included in Level 2. With respect to mortgage-backed securities, People’s United Financial held GNMA residential mortgage-backed securities with a fair value of $333 million at December 31, 2008 (none at June 30, 2009). While such securities are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government and, as a result, present no credit risk, they have been classified as Level 2 assets due to the method used in determining their fair value. The remaining residential mortgage-backed securities held by People’s United Financial at both June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 have been issued by GSEs and are also included in Level 2.

Derivatives

People’s United Financial values its derivatives portfolio using internal models that are based on market or observable inputs including interest rate curves and forward/spot prices for selected currencies. Derivative assets and liabilities included in Level 2 represent interest rate swaps, foreign exchange contracts, interest rate-lock commitments on residential mortgage loans, and forward commitments to sell residential mortgage loans.

Loans

Loans Held for Sale – Residential mortgage loans held for sale are recorded at the lower of cost or fair value and are therefore measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. When available, People’s United Financial uses observable secondary market data, including pricing on recent closed market transactions for loans with similar characteristics. Accordingly, such loans are classified as Level 2 measurements. When observable data is unavailable, valuation methodologies using current market interest rate data adjusted for inherent credit risk are used, and such loans are included in Level 3. At June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, residential mortgage loans held for sale totaling $189.4 million and $6.1 million, respectively, were recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Condition. No fair value adjustments were recorded for residential mortgage loans classified as held for sale for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008.

Impaired Loans – In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 114, “Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan,” loan impairment is deemed to exist when full repayment of principal and interest according to the contractual terms of the loan is no longer probable. Under SFAS No. 114, impaired loans are reported based on one of three measures: the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate; the loan’s observable market price; or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. Accordingly, certain impaired loans may be subject to measurement at fair value on a non-recurring basis. People’s United Financial has estimated the fair values of these assets using Level 3 inputs, such as the fair value of collateral based on independent third-party appraisals for collateral-dependent loans. At June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, loans deemed to be impaired under SFAS No. 114 and subject to fair value measurement under SFAS No. 157 totaled $63.9 million and $33.0 million, respectively. Related impairment charges totaled $9.2 million and $1.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

The following tables summarize People’s United Financial’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008:

NOTE 11. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133.” SFAS No. 161 changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities and specifically requires (i) qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, (ii) quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of, and gains and losses on, derivative instruments, and (iii) disclosures about credit risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. The provisions of SFAS No. 161 were effective for interim and annual financial statements issued beginning with the first quarter of 2009. Accordingly, the following footnote provides the disclosures applicable to People’s United Financial.

People’s United Financial uses derivative financial instruments as components of its market risk management (principally to manage interest rate risk). Certain other derivatives are entered into in connection with transactions with commercial customers. Derivatives are not used for speculative purposes.

All derivatives are recognized as either assets or liabilities and are measured at fair value. Until such time that a derivative is settled, favorable changes in fair values result in unrealized gains that are recognized as assets, while unfavorable changes result in unrealized losses that are recognized as liabilities.

People’s United Financial generally applies hedge accounting to its derivatives used for market risk management purposes. Hedge accounting is permitted only if specific criteria are met, including a requirement that a highly effective relationship exist between the derivative instrument and the hedged item, both at inception of the hedge and on an ongoing basis. The hedge accounting method depends upon whether the derivative instrument is classified as a fair value hedge (i.e. hedging an exposure related to a recognized asset or liability, or a firm commitment) or a cash flow hedge (i.e. hedging an exposure related to the variability of future cash flows associated with a recognized asset or liability, or forecasted transaction). Changes in the fair value of effective fair value hedges are recognized in current earnings (with the change in fair value of the hedged asset or liability also recorded in earnings). Changes in the fair value of effective cash flow hedges are recognized in other comprehensive income or loss until earnings are affected by the variability in cash flows of the designated hedged item. Ineffective portions of hedge results are recognized in current earnings. Changes in the fair value of derivatives for which hedge accounting is not applied are recognized in current earnings.

If it is determined that a derivative is not highly effective or has ceased to be a highly effective hedge, People’s United Financial would discontinue hedge accounting prospectively. Gains or losses resulting from the termination of a derivative accounted for as a cash flow hedge remain in accumulated other comprehensive income or loss and are amortized to earnings over the remaining period of the former hedging relationship, provided the hedged item continues to be outstanding.

By using derivatives, People’s United Financial is exposed to credit risk to the extent that counterparties to the derivative contracts do not perform as required. Should a counterparty fail to perform under the terms of a derivative contract, the company’s counterparty credit risk is equal to the amount reported as a derivative asset in the Consolidated Statements of Condition. Amounts reported as derivative assets represent derivative contracts in a gain position, net of derivatives in a loss position with the same counterparty (to the extent subject to master netting arrangements) and posted collateral. People’s United Financial seeks to minimize counterparty credit risk through credit approvals, limits, monitoring procedures, execution of master netting arrangements and obtaining collateral, where appropriate. Counterparty credit risk related to derivatives is considered and, if material, provided for separately. At June 30, 2009, counterparties to People’s United Financial’s derivatives primarily represent major financial institutions with investment grade credit ratings from the major rating agencies. As such, management believes the risk of incurring losses on derivative contracts related to credit risk is remote and losses, if any, would be immaterial.

The following sections further discuss each class of derivative financial instrument used by People’s United Financial, including management’s principal objectives and risk management strategies.

Interest Rate Floors

Interest rate floors are a type of option contract that are exercised when the underlying interest rate falls below a specified strike rate. Previously, People’s United Financial purchased interest rate floors for the purpose of partially managing its exposure to decreases in the one-month LIBOR-index rate used to reprice certain long-term commercial loans. If the one-month LIBOR-index rate fell below the specified strike rate, People’s United Financial received an interest payment on the interest rate floor equal to the difference between the one-month LIBOR-index rate on the reset date and the strike rate, which in effect, offset the decline in interest income earned on the hedged floating rate commercial loans from the decline in interest rates. The interest rate floors were accounted for as cash flow hedges.

In the first quarter of 2009, People’s United Financial terminated its remaining $600 million (notional amount) interest rate floor contracts. The decision to do so was based on management’s belief that, in light of the current interest rate environment, the derivative contracts had achieved their stated market risk management objective. Termination of the derivative contracts also served to reduce the company’s counterparty credit risk. At the time of termination, the interest rate floors had an unrealized gain of $40.1 million. In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 133, the gain is included (on a net-of-tax basis) as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss and is being recognized in income over the period during which the hedged items (certain floating rate commercial loans) affect earnings (approximately 2 years). A total of $9.7 million of this gain was recognized in income during the six months ended June 30, 2009 and the remaining unrecognized gain at June 30, 2009 was $30.4 million. The portion of the unrecognized gain at June 30, 2009 that is expected to be recognized in income over the next 12 months totals approximately $19.9 million.

Interest Rate Swaps

People’s United Financial has also entered into pay fixed/receive floating interest rate swaps that are used to manage interest rate risk associated with certain interest-earning assets. Specifically, the swaps are used to match more closely the repricing of fewer than five commercial real estate loans and the funding associated with these loans. Under interest rate swaps, People’s United Financial agrees with other parties to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed rate and floating rate interest amounts calculated by reference to an agreed notional amount. As a result, the interest rate swaps effectively convert the fixed rate assets to a variable interest rate and consequently reduce People’s United Financial’s exposure to increases in interest rates. Interest rate swaps are accounted for as fair value hedges.

Foreign Exchange Contracts

Foreign exchange contracts are commitments to buy or sell foreign currency on a future date at a contractual price. People’s United Financial uses these instruments on a limited basis to eliminate its exposure to fluctuations in currency exchange rates on certain of its commercial loans that are denominated in foreign currencies. Gains and losses on foreign exchange contracts substantially offset the translation gains and losses on the related loans.

Customer Derivatives

People’s United Financial has entered into interest rate swaps with certain of its commercial customers. In order to minimize its risk, these customer derivatives have been offset with essentially matching interest rate swaps with People’s United Financial’s counterparties. Hedge accounting has not been applied for these derivatives. Accordingly, changes in the fair value of all such interest rate swaps are recognized in current earnings.

Forward Commitments to Sell Residential Mortgage Loans and Related Interest Rate-Lock Commitments

People’s United Financial enters into forward commitments to sell adjustable-rate and fixed-rate residential mortgage loans (substantially all to be sold servicing released) in order to reduce the market risk associated with originating loans for sale in the secondary market. In order to fulfill a forward commitment, People’s United Financial delivers originated loans at prices or yields specified by the contract. The risks associated with such contracts arise from the possible inability of counterparties to meet the contract terms or People’s United Financial’s inability to originate the necessary loans. Gains and losses realized on the forward contracts are reported in the Consolidated Statements of Income as a component of the net gains on sales of residential mortgage loans. In the normal course of business, People’s United Financial will commit to an interest rate on a mortgage loan application at a time after the application is approved by People’s United Financial. The risks associated with these interest rate-lock commitments arise if market interest rates change prior to the closing of these loans. Both forward sales commitments and interest rate-lock commitments made to borrowers on held-for-sale loans are accounted for as derivatives and are reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Condition at fair value (see Note 12).

(2)	See Note 11 for a further discussion of derivative financial instruments.

As stated in Note 10, People’s United Financial adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 157 on January 1, 2008. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Accordingly, SFAS No. 157 requires an “exit price” approach to value.

SFAS No. 107, “Disclosure about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” which requires disclosures about the fair values of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate fair value, was amended to adopt the SFAS No. 157 definition of fair value. SFAS No. 107 disclosure requirements apply to (i) financial instruments that are measured at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis and, therefore, are subject to the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 157, and (ii) other financial instruments that are not subject to those disclosure requirements. See Note 10 for a discussion of financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis (securities and derivatives) and the methods used to determine the fair value of such instruments.

SFAS No. 107 provides examples of acceptable valuation techniques (when quoted market prices are not available) that might be used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments. These techniques include discounted cash flow analyses and comparison to similar instruments. Such estimates are highly subjective and require judgments regarding significant matters such as the amount and timing of future cash flows and the selection of discount rates that appropriately reflect market and credit risks. Changes in these judgments often have a material impact on the fair value estimates. In addition, since these estimates are made as of a specific point in time, they are susceptible to material near-term changes. Fair values disclosed in accordance with SFAS No. 107 do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from the sale of a large volume of a particular financial instrument, nor do they reflect possible tax ramifications or estimated transaction costs.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments.” FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, which applies to publicly traded companies, requires disclosures in interim financial statements regarding the fair values of financial instruments that are within the scope of SFAS No. 107, adding to the existing requirement to make such disclosures in annual financial statements. Further, FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 requires disclosure of the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments on an interim basis as well as changes in such methods and significant assumptions from prior periods. FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 does not change the accounting treatment for these financial instruments and is effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009.

The following is a description of the principal valuation methods used by People’s United Financial for financial instruments other than securities and derivatives, which are discussed in Note 10:

Loans

For valuation purposes, the loan portfolio was segregated into its significant categories, which are residential mortgage, commercial real estate, commercial and consumer. These categories were further segregated, where appropriate, into components based on significant financial characteristics such as type of interest rate (fixed or adjustable) and payment status (performing or non-performing). Fair values were estimated for each component using a valuation method selected by management.

The fair values of performing residential mortgage, commercial real estate, commercial and consumer loans were estimated by discounting the anticipated cash flows from the respective portfolios. Estimates of the timing and amount of these cash flows considered factors such as future loan prepayments and credit losses. The discount rates reflected current market rates for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. The fair values of non-performing loans were based on recent collateral appraisals or management’s analysis of estimated cash flows discounted at rates commensurate with the credit risk involved.

The fair value of home equity lines of credit was based on the outstanding loan balances, as required by SFAS No. 107, and, therefore, does not reflect the value associated with earnings from future loans to existing customers. Management believes that the fair value of these customer relationships has a substantial intangible value separate from the loan balances currently outstanding.

Deposit Liabilities

The fair values of time deposits represent contractual cash flows discounted using interest rates currently offered on time deposits with similar characteristics and remaining maturities. In accordance with SFAS No. 107, the fair values of other deposit liabilities (those with no stated maturity, such as checking and savings accounts) are equal to the carrying amounts payable on demand. As required by SFAS No. 107, deposit fair values do not include the intangible value of core deposit relationships that comprise a significant portion of People’s United Financial’s deposit base. Management believes that People’s United Financial’s core deposit relationships provide a relatively stable, low-cost funding source that has a substantial intangible value separate from the deposit balances.

Borrowings and Subordinated Notes

The fair values of FHLB advances, repurchase agreements and other borrowings represent contractual repayments discounted using interest rates currently available on borrowings with similar characteristics and remaining maturities. The fair values of subordinated notes were based on dealer quotes.

Other Financial Assets and Liabilities

Cash and cash equivalents, securities purchased under agreements to resell, and accrued interest receivable and payable have fair values that approximate the respective carrying amounts because the instruments are payable on demand or have short-term maturities, and present relatively low credit risk and interest rate risk.

Off-Balance-Sheet Financial Instruments

The estimated fair values of People’s United Financial’s off-balance-sheet financial instruments approximate the respective carrying amounts. These include commitments to extend credit and unadvanced lines of credit for which fair values were estimated based on an analysis of the interest rates and fees currently charged to enter into similar transactions, considering the remaining terms of the commitments and the creditworthiness of the potential borrowers.

NOTE 13. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (R), “Business Combinations (Revised 2007),” which replaces SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations,” and applies to all transactions and other events in which one entity obtains control over one or more other businesses. SFAS No. 141 (R) requires an acquirer, upon initially obtaining control of another entity, to recognize the assets, liabilities and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree, if any, at fair value as of the acquisition date. Contingent consideration, if any, is required to be recognized and measured at fair value on the date of acquisition rather than at a later date when the amount of that consideration may be determinable beyond a reasonable doubt. This fair value approach replaces the cost-allocation process required under SFAS No. 141, whereby the cost of an acquisition was allocated to the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair value.

In addition, SFAS No. 141 (R) requires (i) that acquisition-related transaction costs be expensed as incurred rather than allocating such costs to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as was previously the case under SFAS No. 141, (ii) that the requirements of SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities,” be met in order to accrue for a restructuring plan in purchase accounting, and (iii) that certain pre-acquisition contingencies be recognized at fair value. In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 141(R)-1, “Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination that Arise from Contingencies,” which amends and clarifies SFAS No. 141(R) to address application issues with respect to initial recognition and measurement, subsequent measurement and accounting, and disclosure of assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in a business combination. People’s United Financial adopted SFAS No. 141(R) and FSP FAS 141(R)-1 effective January 1, 2009 and will apply their provisions prospectively to business combinations completed after that date.

In December 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 132 (R)-1, “Employers’ Disclosures about Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets,” to provide guidance on an employer’s disclosures about plan assets of a defined benefit pension or other postretirement plan. In particular, FSP 132 (R)-1 requires that employers disclose the following with respect to such plans: (i) how investment allocation decisions are made; (ii) the major categories of plan assets, including concentrations of risk and related fair value measurements; and (iii) the fair value techniques and pertinent inputs used to determine the fair value of plan assets. The provisions of FSP 132 (R)-1 are effective for People’s United Financial on a prospective basis beginning with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009.

In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events,” which establishes standards related to the accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but prior to the date the financial statements are issued or available to be issued. The provisions of SFAS No. 165 were effective for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 and did not have a significant impact on the company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets – an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 140,” and SFAS No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46 (R).” SFAS No. 166 amends SFAS No. 140 by, among other things, eliminating the concept of a “qualifying special-purpose entity”, changing the requirements for de-recognition of financial assets, and requiring additional disclosures. SFAS No. 167 amends the guidance in FASB Interpretation No. 46 (R) related to the consolidation of variable interest entities. SFAS Nos. 166 and 167 are effective for People’s United Financial on January 1, 2010. Adoption is not expected to have a significant impact on the company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles – A Replacement of FASB Statement No. 162” (the “Codification”), as the source of authoritative U.S. GAAP to be applied by non-governmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), under authority of federal securities laws, are also considered sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The Codification (i) supersedes all non-SEC accounting and reporting standards and (ii) renders all other non-grandfathered, non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification as non-authoritative. SFAS No. 168 is effective for People’s United Financial on July 1, 2009. Adoption is not expected to have a significant impact on the company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

Item 2 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Forward-Looking Statements

Periodic and other filings made by People’s United Financial with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) may from time to time contain information and statements that are forward-looking in nature. Such filings include the Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K, and may include other forms such as proxy statements. Other written or oral statements made by People’s United Financial or its representatives from time to time may also contain forward-looking statements.

In general, forward-looking statements usually use words such as “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “should,” and similar expressions, and include all statements about People’s United Financial’s operating results or financial position for future periods. Forward-looking statements represent management’s beliefs, based upon information available at the time the statements are made, with regard to the matters addressed; they are not guarantees of future performance.

All forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause People’s United Financial’s actual results or financial condition to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by such statements. Factors of particular importance to People’s United Financial include, but are not limited to: (1) changes in general, national or regional economic conditions; (2) changes in interest rates; (3) changes in loan default and charge-off rates; (4) changes in deposit levels; (5) changes in levels of income and expense in non-interest income and expense related activities; (6) residential mortgage and secondary market activity; (7) changes in accounting and regulatory guidance applicable to banks; (8) price levels and conditions in the public securities markets generally; (9) competition and its effect on pricing, spending, third-party relationships and revenues; and (10) the successful completion of the integration of Chittenden Corporation.

All forward-looking statements can be affected by inaccurate assumptions or by known or unknown risks and uncertainties. Consequently, no forward-looking statement can be guaranteed. People’s United Financial does not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Recent Market Developments

In response to the unprecedented challenges currently affecting the banking system, the Federal government recently announced several programs designed to address a variety of issues facing the financial sector.

Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008

Troubled Asset Relief Program

On October 3, 2008, the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (the “EESA”) was signed into law. The EESA, which is intended to stabilize and provide liquidity to the U.S. financial markets, authorized the U.S. Treasury, acting in accordance with the provisions of the Troubled Asset Relief Program (the “TARP”), to (i) purchase up to $700 billion of mortgages, mortgage-backed securities, and certain other financial instruments from financial institutions, and (ii) establish a program to guarantee certain assets issued by financial institutions prior to March 14, 2008. The company has decided not to sell any of its assets pursuant to the TARP or to participate in the asset guarantee program.

On October 14, 2008, the U.S. Treasury announced a plan to employ a portion of its purchasing authority, as provided for by the EESA, in making direct equity investments in qualifying banks and thrifts. Under this program, known as the Troubled Asset Relief Program Capital Purchase Program (the “TARP CPP”), the U.S. Treasury will utilize up to $250 billion of the $700 billion authorized by the EESA to purchase preferred stock in qualifying institutions that request such investments. The preferred stock issued under the TARP CPP contains a number of provisions, some of which could reduce investment returns to participating banks’ shareholders by restricting dividends to common shareholders, diluting existing shareholders’ interests, and restricting capital management practices. People’s United Bank currently exceeds all applicable regulatory capital requirements and remains well capitalized. The company has not applied for equity capital under the TARP CPP.

FDIC Insurance Coverage / Assessments

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”) insures deposits at FDIC insured financial institutions up to certain limits, charging premiums to maintain the Deposit Insurance Fund (the “DIF”) at specified levels. Such premiums may vary based on the risk profile of the insured institution. Current economic conditions have resulted in an increased number of bank failures and, consequently, greater use of DIF resources. In response, the FDIC has authorized higher premium assessments for 2009 pursuant to a restoration plan designed to increase the DIF reserve ratio to required levels. Under the FDIC’s restoration plan, the premium assessment rate was raised uniformly by seven basis points beginning on January 1, 2009 resulting in an initial base assessment rate of 12 basis points for People’s United Bank. Further changes in assessment rates are anticipated later in 2009. For example, the premium assessment rate in effect beginning April 1, 2009 is subject to adjustments that are based on each institution’s risk profile and may effect its initial base assessment rate. In addition, on May 22, 2009, the FDIC adopted a final rule that imposes a special assessment of 5 basis points on each insured financial institution’s total assets less Tier 1 capital as of June 30, 2009. The FDIC’s rule also provides that the FDIC may impose additional special assessments on September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2009 of up to 5 basis points on each insured financial institution’s total assets less Tier 1 capital if the reserve ratio of the DIF is estimated to fall to a level that the FDIC believes would adversely affect public confidence or a level of close to zero or negative.

The EESA increased the FDIC deposit insurance limit from $100,000 to $250,000 per depositor through December 31, 2009, and subsequent amendments extended the increased coverage through December 31, 2013. In addition, on October 14, 2008, the FDIC announced the Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program, which consists of two components: temporary unlimited deposit insurance on funds in non-interest-bearing transaction deposit accounts not otherwise covered by the increased $250,000 deposit insurance limit (the “Transaction Account Guarantee Program”) and a temporary guarantee of certain newly-issued unsecured debt (the “Debt Guarantee Program”). All eligible institutions were covered under both programs for the first 30 days without incurring any costs. After the initial 30 day period, institutions participating in the Transaction Account Guarantee Program are assessed a 10 basis point surcharge on the additional insured deposits and institutions participating in the Debt Guarantee Program are subject to an annualized charge equal to 75 basis points. The company has elected to participate in the Transaction Account Guarantee Program as it participates in all other FDIC deposit insurance programs. While People’s United Financial has retained its right to do so, the company does not, at this time, intend to issue senior unsecured debt securities under the Debt Guarantee Program.

Based on the increase in the premium assessment rate, the special assessment announced in May 2009, and the company’s participation in the Transaction Account Guarantee Program, the company’s cost of deposit insurance increased significantly in the first half of 2009, and further increases may occur. The actual amount of further increases will be dependent on several factors, including: (i) deposit levels; (ii) People’s United Bank’s risk profile; (iii) People’s United Bank’s total assets and Tier 1 capital; and (iv) whether additional special assessments are imposed in future periods.

The actions described above, together with additional actions announced by the U.S. Treasury and other regulatory agencies continue to develop. It is not clear at this time what impact the EESA, the TARP, the TARP CPP, or other liquidity and funding programs of the U.S. Treasury and bank regulatory agencies, whether previously announced or initiated in the future, will have on the capital markets and the financial services industry. The extreme levels of market volatility and limited credit availability currently being experienced could continue to adversely affect the U.S. banking industry and the broader U.S. and global economies for the foreseeable future, which will have an effect on all financial institutions, including People’s United Financial.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Reconciliation to GAAP

In addition to evaluating People’s United Financial’s results of operations in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), management routinely supplements this evaluation with an analysis of certain non-GAAP financial measures, such as the efficiency ratio. Management believes this non-GAAP financial measure provides information useful to investors in understanding People’s United Financial’s underlying operating performance and trends, and facilitates comparisons with the performance of other banks and thrifts. Further, the efficiency ratio is used by management in its assessment of financial performance specifically as it relates to non-interest expense control.

The efficiency ratio, which represents an approximate measure of the cost required by People’s United Financial to generate a dollar of revenue, is the ratio of (i) total non-interest expense (excluding goodwill impairment charges, amortization of acquisition-related intangibles and fair value adjustments, losses on real estate assets and nonrecurring expenses) (the numerator) to (ii) net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis (excluding fair value adjustments) plus total non-interest income (including the fully taxable equivalent adjustment on bank-owned life insurance income, and excluding gains and losses on sales of assets, other than residential mortgage loans, and nonrecurring income) (the denominator). People’s United Financial generally considers an item of income or expense to be nonrecurring if it is not similar to an item of income or expense of a type incurred within the last two years and is not similar to an item of income or expense of a type reasonably expected to be incurred within the following two years.

The following table summarizes People's United Financial's efficiency ratio derived from amounts reported in the Consolidated Statements of Income:

Acquisition

On January 1, 2008, People’s United Financial completed its acquisition of Chittenden Corporation (“Chittenden”), a multi-bank holding company headquartered in Burlington, Vermont for total consideration of approximately $1.8 billion. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and accordingly, Chittenden’s assets and liabilities were recorded by People’s United Financial at their estimated fair values as of January 1, 2008. The six former Chittenden banks, which continue to do business under their existing names as divisions of People’s United Bank, are: Chittenden Trust Company based in Burlington, Vermont; Flagship Bank and Trust Company based in Worcester, Massachusetts; Maine Bank & Trust based in Portland, Maine; Merrill Merchants Bank based in Bangor, Maine; Ocean Bank based in Portsmouth, New Hampshire; and The Bank of Western Massachusetts based in Springfield, Massachusetts. See Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a further discussion of the acquisition.

Financial Overview

People’s United Financial reported net income of $27.4 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2009, compared to $43.0 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, for the year-ago period. Second quarter 2009 earnings reflect continued margin pressure associated with the historically low interest rate environment and the company’s asset sensitive balance sheet, and security gains that served to offset an FDIC special assessment charge. For the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, net income totaled $54.1 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, compared to $58.1 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, respectively.

People’s United Financial’s return on average tangible assets was 0.57% and return on average tangible stockholders’ equity was 3.0%, compared to 0.91% and 4.7%, respectively, in the year-ago quarter.

Net interest income decreased $15.8 million from the year-ago quarter while the net interest margin declined 44 basis points to 3.12%. The lower net interest margin reflects the interest rate cuts initiated by the Federal Reserve Board throughout 2008, and the company’s asset sensitive balance sheet, including its significant excess capital position, which continues to be temporarily invested in low-yielding short-term investments.

Compared to the second quarter of 2008, average earning assets increased $445 million, reflecting increases of $384 million in average short-term investments and $170 million in average loans, partially offset by a decrease of $109 million in average securities. Average funding liabilities increased $298 million compared to the second quarter of 2008, primarily reflecting a $273 million increase in average total deposits.

Compared to the year-ago quarter, total non-interest income increased $11.6 million and total non-interest expense increased $10.2 million (see Non-Interest Income and Non-Interest Expense). The efficiency ratio was 72.3% in the second quarter of 2009 compared to 66.3% in the year-ago period.

The provision for loan losses in the second quarter of 2009 was $14.0 million compared to $2.4 million in the year-ago period. The provision for loan losses in the second quarter of 2009 reflected net loan charge-offs of $6.0 million and an $8.0 million increase in the allowance for loan losses. The provision for loan losses in the second quarter of 2008 reflected net loan charge-offs of $2.4 million. Net loan charge-offs as a percentage of average total loans on an annualized basis were 0.16% in the second quarter of 2009 compared to 0.07% in the year-ago quarter.

The allowance for loan losses totaled $167.0 million at June 30, 2009. Non-performing assets totaled $182.0 million at June 30, 2009, an $88.3 million increase from December 31, 2008. At June 30, 2009, the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans was 1.15% and as a percentage of non-performing loans was 99.4%.

People’s United Financial’s total stockholders’ equity was $5.1 billion at June 30, 2009 compared to $5.2 billion at December 31, 2008. As a percentage of total assets, stockholders’ equity was 24.7% and 25.7%, respectively. Tangible stockholders’ equity as a percentage of tangible assets was 18.7% at June 30, 2009 compared to 19.5% at December 31, 2008.

People’s United Bank’s total risk-based capital ratio was 13.7% at June 30, 2009 compared to 13.4% at December 31, 2008 (see Regulatory Capital Requirements).

Business Segment Results

People’s United Financial’s operations are divided into three primary business segments that represent its core businesses, Commercial Banking, Retail Banking and Small Business, and Wealth Management. In addition, the Treasury area is responsible for managing People’s United Financial’s securities portfolio, short-term investments, wholesale funding activities, such as borrowings, and the funding center.

People’s United Financial uses an internal profitability reporting system to generate information by operating segment, which is based on a series of management estimates and allocations regarding funds transfer pricing (“FTP”), the provision for loan losses, non-interest expense and income taxes. These estimates and allocations, some of which can be subjective in nature, are continually being reviewed and refined. Any changes in estimates and allocations that may affect the reported results of any business segment will not affect the consolidated financial position or results of operations of People’s United Financial as a whole.

FTP is used in the calculation of each operating segment’s net interest income, and measures the value of funds used in and provided by an operating segment. The difference between the interest income on earning assets and the interest expense on funding liabilities, and the corresponding FTP charge for interest income or credit for interest expense, results in net spread income. A five-year rolling average net charge-off rate is used as the basis for the provision for loan losses for the respective segment.

People’s United Financial allocates a majority of non-interest expenses to each business segment using a full-absorption costing process. Direct and indirect costs are analyzed and pooled by process and assigned to the appropriate business segment and corporate overhead costs are allocated to the business segments. Income tax expense is allocated to each business segment using a constant rate, based on an estimate of the consolidated effective income tax rate for the year. Total average assets and total average liabilities are reported for each business segment due to management’s reliance, in part, on such average balances for purposes of assessing business segment performance. Prior period business segments results have been restated to conform to the current presentation.

Commercial Banking net income decreased $4.7 million compared to the second quarter of 2008, reflecting decreases in net interest income and non-interest income, and increases in the provision for loan losses and non-interest expense. The $2.4 million decrease in net interest income reflects the negative impact of interest rate cuts initiated by the Federal Reserve Board throughout 2008, partially offset by an increase in average earning assets. The $1.5 million decrease in non-interest income reflects decreases in merchant services income (due to a decline in payment processing volume) and commercial loan fees, partially offset by an increase in rental income on leased equipment. The $3.2 million increase in non-interest expense primarily reflects a $1.3 million allocation of the FDIC special assessment charge in the second quarter of 2009 and an increase in amortization expense on leased equipment.

The increase in average assets compared to the second quarter of 2008 primarily reflects increases of $356 million in commercial real estate loans and $228 million in PCLC loans, partially offset by a decrease of $53 million in commercial loans.

Retail Banking and Small Business includes, as its principal business lines, consumer and small business deposit gathering activities, consumer lending (including residential mortgage and home equity) and small business lending.

Retail Banking and Small Business net income decreased $8.1 million compared to the second quarter of 2008. The $8.6 million decrease in net interest income primarily reflects the reduction in residential mortgage loan interest income. In the second quarter of 2009, average residential mortgage loans decreased $640 million compared to the year-ago quarter, reflecting People’s United Financial’s decision to sell essentially all of its newly-originated residential mortgage loans. The $2.1 million increase in non-interest income primarily reflects a $1.6 million increase in net gains on sales of residential mortgage loans in the second quarter of 2009 due to an increase in residential mortgage refinancing activity given the historically low interest rate environment. The $6.6 million increase in non-interest expense primarily reflects a $7.1 million allocation of the FDIC special assessment charge in the second quarter of 2009.

Average liabilities increased $297 million compared to the second quarter of 2008 primarily reflecting a $274 million increase in average deposits.

Wealth Management consists of private banking, trust services, corporate trust, brokerage, financial advisory services, investment management services and life insurance provided by People’s Securities, Inc. and Chittenden Securities, LLC, and other insurance services provided through R.

Wealth Management net income decreased $2.3 million compared to the second quarter of 2008. The decrease in non-interest income in the second quarter of 2009 reflects decreases in investment management fees and brokerage commissions, primarily reflecting the uncertainty in the equity markets and broader economic weakness, and a decline in insurance revenue, reflecting the continued soft insurance market resulting from the contracting economy. Non-interest expense includes $0.4 million of system integration costs for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2009.

Assets under custody, management and safekeeping, which are not reported as assets of People’s United Financial, totaled $12.5 billion at June 30, 2009, compared to $12.4 billion at December 31, 2008 and $13.0 billion at June 30, 2008.

Treasury encompasses the securities portfolio, short-term investments, wholesale funding activities, such as borrowings, and the funding center, which includes the impact of derivative financial instruments used for risk management purposes. The income or loss for the funding center represents the interest rate risk component of People’s United Financial’s net interest income as calculated by its FTP model in deriving each business segment’s net interest income. Under this process, a money desk (the funding center) buys funds from liability-generating business lines (such as consumer deposits) and sells funds to asset-generating business lines (such as commercial lending). The price at which funds are bought and sold on any given day is set by People’s United Financial’s treasury group and is based on the wholesale cost to People’s United Financial of assets and liabilities with similar maturities. Liability-generating businesses sell newly originated liabilities to the money desk and recognize a funding credit, while asset-generating businesses buy funding for newly originated assets from the money desk and recognize a funding charge. Once funding for an asset is purchased from or a liability is sold to the money desk, the price that is set by the treasury group will remain with that asset or liability until it matures or reprices, which effectively transfers responsibility for managing interest rate risk to the treasury group.

Treasury’s loss in the second quarter of 2009 compared to the 2008 period reflects an increase in non-interest income, which includes security gains of $12.1 million resulting from the sale of residential mortgage-backed securities with an amortized cost of $723 million. The increase in non-interest income also includes a $1.0 million increase in bank-owned life insurance (“BOLI”) income, reflecting a higher crediting rate in the second quarter of 2009. The increase in non-interest expense in the second quarter of 2009 reflects costs relating to derivatives with commercial customers.

Other includes the residual financial impact from the allocation of revenues and expenses and certain revenues and expenses not attributable to a particular segment, and the FTP impact from excess capital. This category also includes: certain nonrecurring items, including a $5.6 million gain related to the sale of the company’s remaining holdings of Visa Class B shares (included in total non-interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2009), $4.4 million of benefit-related and other charges (included in total non-interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2009), $6.9 million of gains related to the Visa IPO (included in total non-interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2008), and $51.3 million of merger-related expenses and other one-time charges (included in total non-interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2008). Included in “Other” are assets such as cash, premises and equipment, and other assets and other liabilities.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income and net interest margin are affected by many factors, including changes in average balances; interest rate fluctuations and the slope of the yield curve; sales of loans and securities; residential mortgage loan and mortgage-backed security prepayment rates; product pricing; competitive forces; the relative mix, repricing characteristics and maturity of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities; non-interest-bearing sources of funds; hedging activities; and asset quality.

In response to the significant disruptions in the capital markets brought about by the sub-prime mortgage crisis and its after-effects, turmoil in the financial sector, and the contracting U.S. economy, the Federal Reserve Board lowered the targeted federal funds rate ten times since September 2007, and established a target range for the federal funds rate of 0 to 0.25 percent as of December 16, 2008. Given the asset sensitive position of People’s United Financial’s balance sheet, including the temporary investment of a portion of the company’s significant excess capital position in low-yielding short-term investments, and the increase in average deposits, there was margin compression in the net interest margin in the first six months of 2009, which may continue.

Second Quarter 2009 Compared to Second Quarter 2008

The net interest margin declined 44 basis points to 3.12% compared to the second quarter of 2008. The lower net interest margin reflects the dramatic actions taken by the Federal Reserve Board and the company’s asset sensitive balance sheet, including its significant excess capital position, a portion of which continues to be invested in low-yielding short-term investments. Net interest income (FTE basis) decreased $15.8 million, reflecting a $35.3 million decrease in total interest and dividend income, partially offset by a $19.5 million decrease in total interest expense.

Average earning assets totaled $18.2 billion in the second quarter of 2009, a $445 million increase from the second quarter of 2008. Average loans increased $170 million and average short-term investments and securities resale agreements increased $384 million, while average securities decreased $109 million. Average loans, average securities and average short-term investments comprised 80%, 4% and 16%, respectively, of average earning assets in the second quarter of 2009 compared to 81%, 5% and 14%, respectively, in the 2008 period. In the current quarter, the yield earned on the total loan portfolio was 5.04% and the yield earned on securities and short-term investments was 1.00%, compared to 5.76% and 2.48%, respectively, in the year-ago quarter. Excluding adjustable-rate residential mortgage loans, which are mostly of the hybrid variety, approximately 42% of the loan portfolio has floating interest rates compared to approximately 38% in the year-ago quarter.

The total average commercial banking loan portfolio increased $531 million, reflecting increases of $356 million in average commercial real estate loans and $228 million in average equipment financing loans, partially offset by a decrease of $53 million in average commercial loans. At June 30, 2009, the shared national credits loan portfolio totaled $617 million compared to $664 million at December 31, 2008. People’s United Financial is in the process of unwinding the shared national credits portfolio in an orderly manner over the next two to three years.

Average residential mortgage loans decreased $640 million compared to the year-ago quarter, reflecting People’s United Financial’s decision to sell essentially all of its newly-originated residential mortgage loans. As a result, residential mortgage loan balances are expected to continue to decline in the future until People’s United Financial resumes adding such loans to its portfolio to an extent that more than offsets repayments. Average consumer loans increased $279 million, including a $263 million increase in average home equity loans.

In the second quarter of 2009, People’s United Financial sold residential mortgage-backed securities with an amortized cost of $723 million and by the end of July 2009 had fully reinvested the proceeds in residential mortgage-backed securities with longer maturities and substantially equivalent yields. This investment portfolio repositioning was undertaken to mitigate prepayment risk and generated $12.1 million of security gains.

Average funding liabilities totaled $15.2 billion in the second quarter of 2009, a $299 million increase compared to the year-ago quarter. Average deposits increased $274 million, reflecting increases of $20 million in average non-interest-bearing deposits and $381 million in average savings and money market deposits, partially offset by a decrease of $127 million in average time deposits. The decline in average time deposits is a result of the historically low interest rate environment and People’s United Financial’s conscious decision to maintain disciplined pricing on such deposit products, the combined effect of which is discussed further below. Average deposits comprised 98% of average funding liabilities in the second quarter of 2009 and the year-ago period.

The 55 basis point decrease to 1.34% from 1.89% in the rate paid on average funding liabilities primarily reflects the decrease in market interest rates and the shift in deposit mix. The rates paid on average deposits decreased 54 basis points from the second quarter of 2008, reflecting decreases of 87 basis points in time deposits and 48 basis points in savings and money market deposits. Average savings and money market deposits and average time deposits comprised 44% and 34%, respectively, of average total deposits in the second quarter of 2009 compared to 43% and 36%, respectively, in the 2008 period.

Second Quarter 2009 Compared to First Quarter 2009

The net interest margin decreased 13 basis points and net interest income (FTE basis) decreased $1.6 million compared to the first quarter of 2009, primarily reflecting the benefit of disciplined loan and deposit pricing, which partially offset the decline in interest rates. In addition, the net interest margin in the second quarter of 2009 was negatively impacted by the $540 million, or 15% annualized, increase in average deposits during the quarter. These excess deposits were invested in federal funds yielding 25 basis points, which was 101 basis points less than the rate paid on average total deposits in the second quarter of 2009. Total interest and dividend income decreased $3.0 million, partially offset by a $1.4 million decrease in total interest expense.

Average earning assets increased $508 million, reflecting an increase of $992 million in average short-term investments, partially offset by decreases of $476 million in average securities and $8 million in average loans. The decrease in average loans reflects a decrease of $131 million average residential mortgage loans, partially offset by increases of $99 million in average commercial banking loans and $20 million in average home equity loans. The increase in average commercial banking loans includes increases of $134 million in average commercial real estate loans and $13 million in average equipment financing loans, partially offset by a $48 million decrease in average commercial loans. Average funding liabilities increased $516 million, reflecting an increase of $540 million in average deposits, partially offset by a decrease of $24 million in average borrowings.

The tables on the following pages present average balance sheets, interest income, interest expense and the corresponding average yields earned and rates paid for the three months ended June 30 2009, March 31, 2009 and June 30, 2008, and the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008. The average balances are principally daily averages and, for loans, include both performing and non-performing balances. Interest income on loans includes the effect of deferred loan fees and costs accounted for as yield adjustments, but does not include interest on loans for which People’s United Financial has ceased to accrue interest. The impact of People’s United Financial’s use of derivative instruments in managing interest rate risk is also reflected in the tables, classified according to the instrument hedged and the risk management objective.

Volume and Rate Analysis

The following tables show the extent to which changes in interest rates and changes in the volume of average earning assets and average interest-bearing liabilities have affected People’s United Financial’s net interest income. For each category of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, information is provided relating to: changes in volume (changes in average balances multiplied by the prior year’s average interest rate); changes in rates (changes in average interest rates multiplied by the prior year’s average balance); and the total change. Changes attributable to both volume and rate have been allocated proportionately.

Total non-interest income increased $11.6 million compared to the second quarter of 2008 and $12.8 million compared to the first quarter of 2009.

As compared to the second quarter of 2008, the decline in investment management fees and brokerage commissions primarily reflects the uncertainty in the equity markets and broader economic weakness. The increase in investment management fees compared to the first quarter of 2009 reflects the increase in assets under custody and management resulting from the improvement in the equity markets during the second quarter of 2009. The decline in insurance revenue compared to the first quarter of 2009 reflects the seasonal nature of insurance renewals and the soft insurance market, while the decline compared to the second quarter of 2008 reflects the continued soft insurance market resulting from the contracting economy.

In the second quarter of 2009, People’s United Financial sold residential mortgage-backed securities with an amortized cost of $723 million and recorded security gains of $12.1 million. By the end of July 2009, the proceeds had been fully reinvested in residential mortgage-backed securities with longer maturities and substantially equivalent yields. This investment portfolio repositioning was undertaken to mitigate prepayment risk.

In the first quarter of 2008, People’s United Financial recorded a gain of $5.6 million resulting from the mandatory redemption of a portion of its Class B Visa, Inc. shares as part of Visa’s IPO. People’s United Financial obtained its ownership in Visa shares as a result of its acquisition of Chittenden, which was a Visa member. In addition, People’s United Financial recorded a gain of $1.3 million in the first quarter of 2008, which represented its proportionate share of the litigation reserve escrow account established by Visa in conjunction with its IPO. Securities gains in the first quarter of 2009 include a gain of $5.6 million resulting from the sale of People’s United Financial’s remaining Class B Visa shares. The foregoing Visa gains are included in equity securities gains in the above table.

Fluctuations in payment processing volume are the primary drivers for the variances in merchant services income. The increases in gains on sales of residential mortgage loans from both the second quarter of 2008 and this year’s first quarter reflect the higher level of residential mortgage loan sales (a 100% increase from the first quarter of 2009) due to an increase in refinancing activity given the historically low interest rate environment. BOLI income totaled $2.7 million ($4.2 million on a taxable-equivalent basis) in the second quarter of 2009, compared to $1.7 million ($2.6 million on a taxable-equivalent basis) in the year-ago quarter, and $1.6 million in the first quarter of 2009 ($2.5 million on a taxable-equivalent basis). The increases in BOLI income primarily reflect a higher crediting rate in the second quarter of 2009.

The increase in other non-interest income compared to the second quarter of 2008 and the first quarter of 2009 reflects an increase in rental income resulting from a higher level of equipment leased to PCLC customers, and a gain on the sale of a branch.

Efficiency ratio		72.3	%		73.4	%		66.3	%		72.9	%		65.6	%

Total non-interest expense in the second quarter of 2009 increased $10.2 million, or 6%, compared to the second quarter of 2008 and $5.5 million, or 3%, compared to the first quarter of 2009.

The efficiency ratio increased to 72.3% in the second quarter of 2009 compared to 66.3% in the year-ago quarter, reflecting the decline in interest rates that negatively impacted net interest income (see Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Reconciliation to GAAP).

Compensation and benefits decreased $0.1 million compared to the year-ago quarter and $2.1 million compared to the first quarter of 2009. The decrease from this year’s first quarter primarily reflects lower payroll taxes as a result of more employees having reached the maximum payroll tax limits and further benefits from previously disclosed cost-saving initiatives.

The $1.7 million decrease in occupancy and equipment expense from the first quarter of 2009 primarily reflects lower utility-related costs in the second quarter.

Included in regulatory assessment expense in the second quarter of 2009 is an FDIC special assessment charge of $8.4 million, in addition to higher quarterly premium assessments. The FDIC has authorized higher premium assessments for 2009 pursuant to a restoration plan designed to increase the DIF reserve ratio to required levels. Under the FDIC’s restoration plan, the premium assessment rate was raised uniformly by seven basis points beginning on January 1, 2009 resulting in an initial base assessment rate of 12 basis points for People’s United Bank. Further changes in assessment rates are anticipated later in 2009. For example, the premium assessment rate in effect beginning April 1, 2009 is subject to adjustments that are based on each institution’s risk profile and may effect its initial base assessment rate. As such, regulatory assessment expense may continue to increase significantly in the second half of 2009. In addition, on May 22, 2009, the FDIC adopted a final rule that imposes a special assessment of 5 basis points on each insured financial institution’s total assets less Tier 1 capital as of June 30, 2009. The FDIC’s rule also provides that the FDIC may impose additional special assessments on September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2009 of up to 5 basis points on each insured financial institution’s total assets less Tier 1 capital if the reserve ratio of the DIF is estimated to fall to a level that the FDIC believes would adversely affect public confidence or a level of close to zero or negative.

Included in other non-interest expense in the first quarter of 2009 are benefit-related and other charges totaling $4.4 million.

Income Taxes

People’s United Financial’s effective income tax rate was 30.0% in the second quarter of 2009, compared to 32.5% in the first quarter of 2009 and 34.0% in the second quarter of 2008. People’s United Financial’s effective income tax rate was 31.2% in the first six months of 2009, which approximates the expected effective tax rate for the remainder of 2009, compared to 32.6% in the first six months of 2008.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

General

Total assets at June 30, 2009 were $20.8 billion, an increase of $644 million from December 31, 2008, reflecting an increase of $1.9 billion in short-term investments, partially offset by a decrease of $1.4 billion in securities.

At June 30, 2009, liabilities totaled $15.7 billion, a $683 million increase from December 31, 2008, primarily reflecting a $754 million increase in total deposits, partially offset by a decrease of $28 million in borrowings.

Loans totaled $14.6 billion at June 30, 2009, essentially unchanged from December 31, 2008. Increases of $267 million in commercial real estate loans and $46 million in consumer loans were offset by decreases of $194 million in residential mortgage loans and $132 million in commercial loans. The decrease in residential mortgage loans reflects People’s United Financial’s decision to sell essentially all of its newly-originated residential mortgage loans. Residential mortgage loan balances are expected to continue to decline in the future until People’s United Financial resumes adding such loans to its portfolio to an extent that more than offsets repayments. Residential mortgage loans at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 included loans held for sale (all to be sold servicing released) of $189.4 million and $6.1 million, respectively, which approximate fair value. The increase in loans held for sale from year-end reflects a higher backlog associated with an increase in residential mortgage refinancing activity as a result of the historically low interest rate environment.

Non-performing assets totaled $182.0 million at June 30, 2009, an $88.3 million increase from year-end 2008, primarily reflecting increases of $45.2 million in non-performing commercial real estate loans, $27.2 million in non-performing residential mortgage loans, $10.7 million in non-performing PCLC loans and $4.6 million in REO and repossessed assets. The allowance for loan losses totaled $167.0 million at June 30, 2009 compared to $157.5 million at December 31, 2008. At June 30, 2009, the allowance for loan losses as a percent of total loans was 1.15% and as a percent of non-performing loans was 99.4%, compared to 1.08% and 186.8%, respectively, at December 31, 2008.

People’s United Financial’s total stockholders’ equity was $5.1 billion at June 30, 2009, a $39 million decrease from December 31, 2008. The decrease primarily reflects dividends paid of $101.3 million, partially offset by net income of $54.1 million. As a percentage of total assets, stockholders’ equity was 24.7% at June 30, 2009 compared to 25.7% at December 31, 2008. Tangible stockholders’ equity as a percentage of tangible assets was 18.7% at June 30, 2009 compared to 19.5% at December 1, 2008.

People’s United Bank’s leverage (core) capital ratio, and tier 1 and total risk-based capital ratios were 10.7%, 12.6% and 13.7%, respectively, at June 30, 2009, compared to 10.0%, 12.2% and 13.4%, respectively, at December 31, 2008 (see Regulatory Capital Requirements).

Asset Quality

The past two years have been marked by significant volatility in the financial and capital markets initially brought about by the fallout associated with the subprime mortgage market. This disruption led to significant credit and liquidity concerns, which resulted in government intervention within the banking sector and a substantial decline in activity within the secondary mortgage market. All of these issues have been further exacerbated by an accelerated softening of the real estate market and, in more recent months, a worsening recessionary economic environment. These events have, in turn, led to weakness within the commercial sector, prompting the federal government to implement a $787 billion stimulus package in February 2009, with the objective of reviving the U.S. economy.

People’s United Financial does not engage in subprime mortgage lending, which has been the riskiest sector of the residential housing market. People’s United Financial has virtually no exposure to subprime loans, or to similarly high-risk Alt-A loans and structured investment vehicles.

While People’s United Financial continues to adhere to prudent underwriting standards, the loan portfolio is geographically diverse and, therefore, is not immune to potential negative consequences arising as a result of general economic weakness and, in particular, a sharp downturn in the housing market on a national scale. Decreases in real estate values could adversely affect the value of property used as collateral for loans. In addition, adverse changes in the economy could have a negative effect on the ability of borrowers to make scheduled loan payments, which would likely have an adverse impact on earnings. Further, an increase in loan delinquencies may serve to decrease net interest income and adversely impact loan loss experience, resulting in an increased provision and allowance for loan losses.

People’s United Financial actively manages asset quality through its underwriting practices and collection operations. Underwriting practices tend to focus on optimizing the return of a given risk classification while collection operations focus on minimizing losses once an account becomes delinquent.

The allowance for loan losses is established through provisions for loan losses charged to income. Losses on loans, including impaired loans, are charged to the allowance for loan losses when all or a portion of a loan is deemed to be uncollectible. Recoveries of loans previously charged off are credited to the allowance for loan losses when realized. People’s United Financial maintains the allowance for loan losses at a level that is deemed to be adequate to absorb probable losses inherent in the existing loan portfolio, based on a quarterly evaluation of a variety of factors. These factors include, but are not limited to: People’s United Financial’s historical loan loss experience and recent trends in that experience; risk ratings assigned by lending personnel to commercial real estate, commercial and PCLC loans, and the results of ongoing reviews of those ratings by People’s United Financial’s independent loan review function; an evaluation of delinquent and non-performing loans and related collateral values; the probability of loss in view of geographic and industry concentrations and other portfolio risk characteristics; the present financial condition of borrowers; and current economic conditions. While People’s United Financial seeks to use the best available information to make these evaluations, future adjustments to the allowance for loan losses may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions, results of regulatory examinations, further information obtained regarding known problem loans, the identification of additional problem loans and other factors.

The provision for loan losses in the year-ago period reflected $2.4 million in net loan charge-offs. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans was 1.15% at June 30, 2009 and 1.08% at December 31, 2008.

(1)	Reported net of government guarantees totaling $7.1 million at June 30, 2009, $7.2 million at March 31, 2009, $6.5 million at December 31, 2008, $6.4 million at September 30, 2008 and $6.6 million at June 30, 2008.

A loan is generally considered “non-performing” when it is placed on non-accrual status. A loan is generally placed on non-accrual status when it becomes 90 days past due as to interest or principal payments. However, a loan may be placed on non-accrual status earlier if such loan has been identified as presenting uncertainty with respect to the collectibility of interest and principal. A loan past due 90 days or more may remain on accruing status if such loan is both well secured and in the process of collection. People’s United Financial’s historical experience suggests that a portion of these non-performing assets will eventually be recovered. All non-performing loans are in various stages of collection, workout, settlement or foreclosure. When loan workout efforts are exhausted and it is determined that the borrower is unable to repay the obligation, People’s United Financial will complete foreclosure procedures, if applicable.

Total non-performing assets increased $88.3 million from December 31, 2008 and equaled 1.25% of total loans, REO and repossessed assets at June 30, 2009. The change in total non-performing assets from December 31, 2008 includes increases in non-performing commercial real estate loans of $45.2 million, non-performing residential mortgage loans of $27.2 million, non-performing PCLC loans of $10.7 million and REO and repossessed assets of $4.6 million. The increase in non-performing commercial real estate loans primarily reflects the classification of two shared national credits, totaling $33 million, as non-performing. The increase in non-performing residential mortgage loans is primarily a reflection of higher levels of unemployment across People’s United Financial’s franchise while the increase in non-performing PCLC loans reflects broader economic weakness. REO and repossessed assets increased by $2.9 million and $1.7 million, respectively. Loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing totaled $11.4 million at June 30, 2009 compared to $8.0 million at December 31, 2008.

The level of non-performing assets is expected to fluctuate in response to changing economic and market conditions, and the relative sizes of the respective loan portfolios, along with management’s degree of success in resolving problem assets. Management takes a proactive approach with respect to the identification and resolution of problem loans. However, given the current state of the U.S. economy and, more specifically, the real estate market, it is anticipated that the level of non-performing assets will continue to increase in 2009.

Liquidity

Liquidity is defined as the ability to generate sufficient cash flows to meet all present and future funding requirements at reasonable costs. Liquidity management addresses People’s United Financial’s and People’s United Bank’s ability to fund new loans and investments as opportunities arise, to meet customer deposit withdrawals, and to repay borrowings and subordinated notes as they mature. People’s United Financial’s, as well as People’s United Bank’s, liquidity positions are monitored daily by management. The Asset and Liability Management Committee (“ALCO”) of People’s United Bank has been authorized by the Board of Directors of People’s United Financial to set guidelines to ensure maintenance of prudent levels of liquidity for People’s United Financial as well as for People’s United Bank. ALCO reports to the Treasury and Finance Committee of the Board of Directors of People’s United Bank.

Asset liquidity is provided by: cash; short-term investments; proceeds from security sales, maturities and principal repayments; and proceeds from scheduled principal collections, prepayments and sales of loans. In addition, certain securities may be used to collateralize borrowings under repurchase agreements. The Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows present data on cash provided by and used in People’s United Financial’s operating, investing and financing activities. At June 30, 2009, People’s United Financial’s (parent company) liquid assets included $1.5 billion in cash and cash equivalents ($1.1 billion in short-term GSE debt securities and $400 million in FDIC-guaranteed commercial paper) and $400 million in securities purchased under agreements to resell. People’s United Bank’s liquid assets included $1.5 billion in cash and cash equivalents, $446 million in debt securities available for sale and $12 million in trading account securities. Securities available for sale, with a combined fair value of $446 million at June 30, 2009, were pledged as collateral for public deposits and for other purposes.

Liability liquidity is measured by People’s United Financial’s and People’s United Bank’s ability to obtain deposits and borrowings at cost-effective rates that are diversified with respect to markets and maturities. Deposits, which are considered the most stable source of liability liquidity, totaled $15.0 billion at June 30, 2009 and represented 73% of total funding. Borrowings are used to diversify People’s United Financial’s funding mix and to support asset growth. Borrowings totaled $160 million at June 30, 2009, representing 0.8% of total funding.

People’s United Bank’s current sources of borrowings include: federal funds purchased, advances from the FHLB of Boston and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, and repurchase agreements. At June 30, 2009, People’s United Bank’s borrowing limit from FHLB and Federal Reserve Bank advances, and repurchase agreements was $2.6 billion, based on the level of qualifying collateral available for these borrowing sources. In addition, People’s United Bank had unsecured borrowing capacity of $0.5 billion.

At June 30, 2009, People’s United Bank had outstanding commitments to originate loans totaling $0.9 billion and approved, but unused, lines of credit extended to customers totaling $3.6 billion (including $1.8 billion of home equity lines of credit).

The sources of liquidity discussed above are deemed by management to be sufficient to fund outstanding loan commitments and to meet People’s United Financial’s and People’s United Bank’s other obligations.

Stockholders’ Equity and Dividends

People’s United Financial’s total stockholders’ equity was $5.14 billion at June 30, 2009, a $38.9 million decrease compared to $5.18 billion at December 31, 2008. This decrease primarily reflects dividends paid of $101.3 million, partially offset by net income of $54.1 million. Stockholders’ equity equaled 24.7% of total assets at June 30, 2009 and 25.7% at December 31, 2008. Tangible stockholders’ equity (total stockholders’ equity less goodwill and other acquisition-related intangibles) equaled 18.7% of tangible assets (total assets less goodwill and other acquisition-related intangibles) at June 30, 2009 and 19.5% at December 31, 2008.

In July 2009, People’s United Financial’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend on its common stock of $0.1525 per share. The dividend is payable on August 15, 2009 to shareholders of record on August 1, 2009.

Regulatory Capital Requirements

People’s United Bank’s tangible capital ratio was 10.7% at June 30, 2009, compared to the minimum ratio of 1.5% generally required by its regulator, the Office of Thrift Supervision (“OTS”).

People’s United Bank is also subject to the OTS’s risk-based capital regulations, which require minimum ratios of leverage capital and total risk-based capital of 4.0% and 8.0%, respectively. People’s United Bank satisfied these requirements at June 30, 2009 with ratios of 10.7% and 13.7%, respectively, compared to 10.0% and 13.4%, respectively, at December 31, 2008. People’s United Bank’s regulatory capital ratios exceeded the OTS’s numeric criteria for classification as a “well capitalized” institution at June 30, 2009.

The following summary compares People’s United Bank’s regulatory capital amounts and ratios as of June 30, 2009 to the OTS requirements for classification as a well-capitalized institution and for minimum capital adequacy. At June 30, 2009, People’s United Bank’s adjusted total assets, as defined, totaled $17.5 billion and its total risk-weighted assets, as defined, totaled $14.9 billion. Regulatory capital amounts and ratios presented are for People’s United Bank and therefore do not reflect the additional capital residing at People’s United Financial.

(2)	Represents tier 1 capital plus subordinated notes, up to certain limits, and the allowance for loan losses up to 1.25% of total risk-weighted assets.

Market Risk Management

Market risk is the risk of loss to earnings, capital and the fair values of certain assets and liabilities resulting from changes in interest rates, equity prices and foreign currency exchange rates.

Interest Rate Risk

For People’s United Financial, the only relevant market risk at this time is interest rate risk (“IRR”), which is the potential exposure to earnings or capital that may result from changes in interest rates. People’s United Financial manages its IRR to achieve a balance between risk, earnings volatility and capital preservation. ALCO has primary responsibility for managing People’s United Financial’s IRR. To evaluate People’s United Financial’s IRR profile, ALCO monitors economic conditions, interest rate trends, liquidity levels and capital ratios. Management also reviews assumptions periodically for projected customer and competitor behavior, in addition to the expected repricing characteristics and cash flow projections for assets, liabilities and off-balance-sheet financial instruments. Actual conditions may vary significantly from People’s United Financial’s assumptions.

Management evaluates the impact of IRR on “Income at Risk” using an earnings simulation model to project earnings under multiple interest rate environments over a one-year time horizon resulting in a quantification of IRR. Income at Risk includes significant interest rate sensitive income sources, such as net interest income, gains on sales of residential mortgage loans and BOLI income.

The earnings projections are based on a static balance sheet and estimates of pricing levels for People’s United Financial’s products under multiple scenarios intended to reflect instantaneous yield curve shocks. People’s United Financial estimates its base case Income at Risk using current interest rates. Internal policy regarding IRR simulations specify that for instantaneous parallel shifts of the yield curve, estimated Income at Risk for the subsequent one-year period should not decline by more than: 10% for a 100 basis point shift; 15% for a 200 basis point shift; and 20% for a 300 basis point shift.

The following table shows the estimated percentage increase (decrease) in People’s United Financial’s Income at Risk over a one-year simulation period beginning June 30, 2009. Given the interest rate environment at June 30, 2009, simulations for declines in interest rates below 25 basis points were not deemed to be meaningful.


Rate Change (basis points)	Percent Change in Income at Risk
+300	30.1	%
+200	19.4
+100	8.8
-25	(1.8	)

While Income at Risk simulation identifies earnings exposure over a relatively short time horizon, “Equity at Risk” takes a long-term economic perspective when quantifying IRR, thereby identifying possible margin behavior over a longer time horizon. Base case Market Value of Equity (“MVE”) is calculated by estimating the net present value of all future cash flows from existing assets and liabilities using current interest rates. The base case scenario assumes that future interest rates remain unchanged.

Internal policy limits the exposure of a decrease in Equity at Risk resulting from instantaneous parallel shifts of the yield curve in the following manner: for 100 basis points – 10% of base case MVE; for 200 basis points – 15% of base case MVE; and for 300 basis points – 20% of base case MVE.

The following table shows the estimated percentage increase (decrease) in People’s United Financial’s Equity at Risk, assuming various shifts in interest rates. Given the interest rate environment at June 30, 2009, simulations for declines in interest rates below 25 basis points were not deemed to be meaningful.


Rate Change (basis points)	Percent Change in Market Value of Equity
+300	(2.9	)%
+200	(1.4	)
+100	(0.1	)
-25	(0.3	)

People’s United Financial’s interest rate risk position at June 30, 2009, as set forth in the Income at Risk and Equity at Risk tables above, reflects its significant excess capital position at that date. Management’s current posture is to invest a portion of such excess capital in highly liquid, low risk, short-term investments. While this strategy does place additional pressure on net interest income in a low rate environment, management views such risk as an acceptable alternative in light of the current credit environment where capital has proven vital to the continued viability of many institutions. Given the uncertainty of the magnitude, timing and direction of future interest rate movements and the shape of the yield curve, actual results may vary from those predicted by People’s United Financial’s models.

People’s United Financial uses derivative financial instruments, including interest rate floors (see below) and interest rate swaps, primarily for market risk management purposes (principally interest rate risk). Certain other derivatives are entered into in connection with transactions with commercial customers. Derivatives are not used for speculative purposes.

At June 30, 2009, People’s United Financial was using interest rate swaps on a limited basis to manage IRR associated with certain interest-earning assets. Interest rate swaps are used to match more closely the repricing of fewer than five commercial real estate loans and the funding associated with these loans. The interest rate swaps effectively convert the fixed rate assets to a variable interest rate and consequently reduce People’s United Financial’s exposure to increases in interest rates. Interest rate swaps are accounted for as fair value hedges.

People’s United Financial has written guidelines that have been approved by its Board of Directors and ALCO governing the use of derivative financial instruments, including approved counterparties and credit limits. Credit risk associated with these instruments is controlled and monitored though policies and procedures governing collateral management and credit approval. People’s United Financial is exposed to credit risk to the extent that counterparties to the derivative contracts do not perform as required. Should a counterparty fail to perform under the terms of a derivative contract, the company’s counterparty credit risk is equal to the amount reported as a derivative asset in the Consolidated Statements of Condition. Amounts reported as derivative assets represent derivative contracts in a gain position, net of derivatives in a loss position with the same counterparty (to the extent subject to master netting arrangements) and posted collateral.

People’s United Financial seeks to minimize counterparty credit risk through credit approvals, limits, monitoring procedures, execution of master netting arrangements and obtaining collateral, where appropriate. Counterparty credit risk related to derivatives is considered and, if material, provided for separately. At June 30, 2009, each of People’s United Financial’s counterparties (primarily representing major financial institutions) had an investment grade credit rating from the major rating agencies and is specifically approved up to a maximum credit exposure. At June 30, 2009, People’s United Financial’s counterparty credit exposure on its outstanding derivative contracts, after considering the effect of the bilateral netting arrangements and posted collateral, totaled $0.7 million.

In the third quarter of 2008, People’s United Financial began entering into interest rate swaps with certain of its commercial customers. In order to minimize its risk, these customer derivatives have been offset with essentially matching interest rate swaps with People’s United Financial’s counterparties. Changes in the fair value of all such interest rate swaps are recognized in current earnings.

The following table summarizes certain information concerning these interest rate swaps:
