</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The consolidated financial statements (the &#147;financial statements&#148;) of Berkshire Hills Bancorp, Inc.
(the &#147;Company&#148;) have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles
(&#147;GAAP&#148;) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule&nbsp;10-01 of
Regulation&nbsp;S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by
GAAP for complete financial statements. These financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Berkshire Insurance Group and Berkshire Bank (the
&#147;Bank&#148;), together with the Bank&#146;s consolidated subsidiaries. One of the Bank&#146;s consolidated
subsidiaries is Berkshire Bank Municipal Bank, a New York chartered limited-purpose commercial
bank. All significant inter-company transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The results
of operations for the three months ended March&nbsp;31, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the
results which may be expected for the year. These consolidated financial statements should be read
in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the
Company&#146;s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2008.

</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, the Company provides a variety of financial services to
individuals, businesses, not-for-profit organizations, and municipalities through its offices in
western Massachusetts, southern Vermont and northeastern New York. Its primary deposit products are
checking, NOW, money market, savings, and time deposit accounts. Its primary lending products are
residential mortgages, commercial mortgages, construction loans, commercial business loans and
consumer loans. The Company offers electronic banking, cash management, and other transaction and
reporting services; it also offers interest rate swap contracts to commercial customers. The
Company offers wealth management services including trust, financial planning, and investment
services. The Company is an agent for complete lines of property and casualty, life, disability,

</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">An operating segment is a component of a business for which separate financial information is
available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision-maker in deciding how to
allocate resources and evaluate performance. The Company has two reportable operating segments,
Banking and Insurance, which are delineated by the consolidated subsidiaries of Berkshire Hills
Bancorp, Inc. Banking includes the activities of Berkshire Bank and its subsidiaries, which
provide commercial and consumer banking services. Insurance includes the activities of Berkshire
Insurance Group, which provides commercial and consumer insurance services. The only other
consolidated financial activity of the Company consists of the transactions of Berkshire Hills
Bancorp Inc.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B><I>Use of estimates</I></B>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">In preparing the financial statements in conformity with GAAP, management is required to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date
of the consolidated balance sheets and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are
particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the
allowance for loan losses; the valuation of deferred tax assets; the estimates related to the
initial measurement of goodwill and intangible assets and subsequent impairment analyses; the
determination of other-than-temporary impairment of investment securities; and the determination of
fair value of financial instruments.

Assets Relief Program (&#147;TARP&#148;), part of the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 enacted on
October&nbsp;3, 2008. As a participant in the CPP, on December&nbsp;19, 2008 we sold to the Treasury for an

preferred stock warrants to purchase
226,330 shares of common stock. The warrants have an exercise price
of $26.51 per share and were
deemed to have a value of $14.13 per share based on U.S. GAAP allocation methodologies, and a fair
value of $7.87 per share based on a Black-Scholes valuation model as of December&nbsp;19, 2008 . The

SFAS No.&nbsp;141, &#147;<I>Business Combinations</I>&#148;. SFAS No.&nbsp;141(R), among other things, establishes principles
and requirements for how the acquirer in a business combination (i)&nbsp;recognizes and measures in its
financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any
non-controlling interest in the acquired business, (ii)&nbsp;recognizes and measures the goodwill
acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase, and (iii)&nbsp;determines what
information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and
financial effects of the business combination. This Statement became effective for all business
combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after January&nbsp;1, 2009, will change the
Company&#146;s accounting treatment for business combinations on a prospective basis, and could have a

the requirement to disclose an estimate of the range of outcomes of recognized contingencies at the
acquisition date. For unrecognized contingencies, entities are required to include only the
disclosures required by SFAS No.&nbsp;5. FSP SFAS No.&nbsp;141R-1 also requires that contingent consideration
arrangements of an acquiree assumed by the acquirer in a business combination be treated as
contingent consideration of the acquirer and should be initially and subsequently measured at fair

other than-temporary-impairment (&#147;OTTI&#148;) at least quarterly. Securities are evaluated individually
based on various factors including, (1)&nbsp;the length of time and the extent to which the fair value
has been less than cost, (2)&nbsp;the financial condition and near term prospects of the issuer, and (3)
the intent and ability of the Company to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to
allow for any anticipated recovery of cost. Declines in the fair value of securities below their
cost that are deemed to be other than temporarily impaired, are recognized through earnings as
realized losses in the period in which the impairment is identified.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The unrealized losses on the other bonds and obligations available for sale increased by $1.1
million to $4.7&nbsp;million at March&nbsp;31, 2009 as compared to December&nbsp;31, 2008 primarily as a result of
an increase in the credit spreads on the trust preferred securities in this portfolio and general
macro-economic pressure on security prices. The Company evaluated securities individually
to assess the risk of loss based on various stress scenarios and deemed the risk of loss to be
unlikely. Furthermore, the Company has the intent and ability to hold these securities for a time
necessary to recover its cost basis or until maturity (at which time, full payment is expected).
Based on management&#146;s review of all AFS and HTM portfolios, there were no securities deemed
impaired on an other-than-temporary basis as of March&nbsp;31, 2009.

by the consolidated subsidiaries of Berkshire Hills Bancorp. Banking includes the activities of
Berkshire Bank and its subsidiaries, which provide commercial and consumer banking services.
Insurance includes the activities of Berkshire Insurance Group, which provides commercial and
consumer insurance services. The only other consolidated financial activity of the Company is the
Parent, which consists of the transactions of Berkshire Hills Bancorp. Management fees for
corporate services provided by the Bank to Berkshire Insurance Group and the Parent are eliminated.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The accounting policies of each reportable segment are the same as those of the Company. The
Insurance segment and the Parent reimburse the Bank for administrative services provided to them.
Income tax expense for the individual segments is calculated based on the activity of the segments,
and the Parent records the tax expense or benefit necessary to reconcile to the consolidated total.
The Parent does not allocate capital costs. Average assets include securities available-for-sale
based on amortized cost.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">As part of the Company&#146;s risk management strategy, the Company enters into interest rate swap
agreements to mitigate the interest rate risk inherent in certain of the Company&#146;s assets and
liabilities. As of March&nbsp;31, 2009, the Company held interest rate swaps with a total notional value
of $310.3&nbsp;million. Of this total, interest rate swaps with a combined notional value of $150
million were designated as cash flow hedges as defined in Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No.&nbsp;133, &#147;<I>Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities&#148; </I>(&#147;SFAS No.&nbsp;133&#148;).
The remaining $160.3&nbsp;million have been designated as economic hedges, which are hedges not subject
to the hedge accounting rules of SFAS No.&nbsp;133. At March&nbsp;31, 2009, no derivatives were designated
as hedges of net investments in foreign operations. Additionally, the Company does not use
derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Interest rate swap agreements involve the risk of dealing with both Bank customers and
institutional derivative counterparties and their ability to meet contractual terms. The agreements
are entered into with counterparties that meet established credit standards and contain master
netting and collateral provisions protecting the at-risk party. The derivatives program is overseen
by the Risk Management Committee of the Company&#146;s Board of Directors. Based on adherence to the
Company&#146;s credit standards and the presence of the netting and collateral provisions, the Company
believes that the credit risk inherent in these contracts was not significant at March&nbsp;31, 2009.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company pledged collateral to derivative counterparties in the form of cash totaling $1.0
million and securities with an amortized cost of $27.9&nbsp;million and a fair value of $28.3&nbsp;million as
of March&nbsp;31, 2009. No collateral was posted from counterparties to the Company as of March&nbsp;31,
2009. The Company may need to post additional collateral in the future in proportion to potential
increases in unrealized loss positions.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Information about interest rate swap agreements entered into for interest rate risk management
purposes at March&nbsp;31, 2009, summarized by type of financial instrument the swap agreements were
intended to hedge, follows:

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">In the first quarter of 2009, Berkshire Bank initiated and subsequently terminated two interest
rate swaps with notional amounts totaling $30&nbsp;million that were hedging FHLBB borrowings. In
reviewing the current interest rate environment, Berkshire&#146;s asset sensitive interest rate risk
profile, and Berkshire&#146;s liquidity position, it was determined
that these longer-term, fixed rate
instruments were no longer necessary to manage Berkshire&#146;s overall balance sheet profile. Gains
totaling $741 thousand were generated on the termination of the swaps.

</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">In the second quarter of 2008, the Company applied the fair value option permitted under Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No.&nbsp;159, &#147;<I>The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and
Financial Liabilities</I>&#148; (&#147;SFAS No.&nbsp;159&#148;), to a $15.0&nbsp;million economic development bond bearing a
fixed rate of 5.09%. The bond is classified as a trading security. The Company simultaneously
entered into an interest rate swap with a $15.0&nbsp;million notional, to swap out the fixed rate of
interest on the bond in exchange for a LIBOR-based floating rate. The intent of the economic hedge
was to improve the Company&#146;s asset sensitivity to changing interest rates in anticipation of
favorable average floating rates of interest over the 21-year life of the bond. Unrealized gains
on the economic development bond totaled $2.6&nbsp;million at March&nbsp;31, 2009 and were offset by
unrealized losses of $2.4&nbsp;million on the related interest rate swap.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">In addition to the hedging activities above, the Company offers certain derivative products
directly to qualified commercial borrowers. The Company economically hedges derivative
transactions executed with commercial borrowers by entering into mirror-image, offsetting
derivatives with third-party financial institutions. The transaction allows the Company&#146;s customer
to effectively convert a variable-rate loan to a fixed rate. Because the Company acts as an
intermediary for its customer, changes in the fair value of the underlying derivative contracts for
the most part offset each other and do not significantly impact the Company&#146;s earnings. Because
the derivatives have mirror-image contractual terms, the changes in fair value substantially offset
through earnings. As of March&nbsp;31, 2009, the unrealized gains (losses)&nbsp;on the interest rate swaps
with customers and the reverse swaps with financial institutions totaled $4.7&nbsp;million and $(4.9)
million, respectively. Credit valuation adjustments arising from the difference in credit
worthiness of the commercial loan and financial institution counterparties totaled $192 thousand as
of March&nbsp;31, 2009 and were not material to the financial statements. The interest income and
expense on these mirror image swaps exactly offset each other.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Effective January&nbsp;1, 2008, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No.&nbsp;157, &#147;Fair Value
Measurements,&#148; for financial assets and financial liabilities. SFAS No.&nbsp;157 defines fair value,
establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and
expands disclosures about fair value measurements.

principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, the most
advantageous market for the asset or liability. The price in the principal (or most advantageous)
market used to measure the fair value of the asset or liability shall not be adjusted for
transaction costs. An orderly transaction is a transaction that assumes exposure to the market for
a period prior to the measurement date to allow for marketing activities that are usual and
customary for transactions involving such
assets and liabilities; it is not a forced transaction. Market participants are buyers and sellers
in the principal market that are (i)&nbsp;independent, (ii)&nbsp;knowledgeable, (iii)&nbsp;able to transact and
(iv)&nbsp;willing to transact.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">SFAS No.&nbsp;157 requires the use of valuation techniques that are consistent with the market approach,
the income approach and/or the cost approach. The market approach uses prices and other relevant
information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets and
liabilities. The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts, such as cash
flows or earnings, to a single present amount on a discounted basis. The cost approach is based on
the amount that currently would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset
(replacement cost). Valuation techniques should be consistently applied. Inputs to valuation
techniques refer to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or
liability. Inputs may be observable, meaning those that reflect the assumptions market participants
would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from
independent sources, or unobservable, meaning those that reflect the reporting entity&#146;s own
assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability
developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. In that regard, SFAS No.
157 establishes a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs that gives the highest priority to
quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to
unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:

Valuation adjustments may be made to ensure that financial instruments are recorded at fair value.
These adjustments may include amounts to reflect counterparty credit quality, the Company&#146;s
creditworthiness, among other things, as well as unobservable parameters. Any such valuation
adjustments are applied consistently over time. The Company&#146;s valuation methodologies may produce a
fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future
fair values. While management believes the Company&#146;s valuation methodologies are appropriate and
consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to
determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of
fair value at the reporting date. Furthermore, the reported fair value amounts have not been
comprehensively revalued since the presentation dates, and therefore, estimates of fair value after
the balance sheet date may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B><I>Trading Security at Fair Value. </I></B>The Company holds one security designated as a trading security. It
is a tax advantaged economic development bond issued by the Company to a local nonprofit
organization which provides wellness and health programs. The determination of the fair value for
this security is determined based on a discounted cash flow methodology. Certain of the inputs to
the fair value calculation are unobservable and there is little to no market activity in the
security. The security meets FAS No.157&#146;s definition of a level 3 security and has been classified
as such.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B><I>Securities Available for Sale (&#147;AFS&#148;)</I></B><B>. </B>AFS securities classified as Level 1 consist of
publicly-traded equity securities for which the fair values can be obtained through quoted market
prices in active exchange markets. AFS securities classified as Level 2 include certain agency
mortgage-backed securities and investment grade-rated municipal bonds and corporate bonds. The
pricing on Level 2 was primarily sourced from third party pricing services and is based on models
that consider standard input factors such as dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S.
Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment
speeds, credit information and the bond&#146;s terms and condition, among other things. Securities
classified as Level 3 are structured securities for which fair value is based on issuer- provided
financial information or which are priced based on discounted cash flow models that are dependent
on unobservable inputs.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B><I>Derivative Assets and Liabilities. </I></B>The valuation of the Company&#146;s interest rate swaps is obtained
from a third-party pricing service and is determined using a discounted cash flow analysis on the
expected cash flows of each derivative. The pricing analysis is based on observable inputs for the
contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity and interest rate curves.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both its own
nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty&#146;s nonperformance risk in the fair value
measurements. In adjusting the fair value of its derivative contracts for the effect of
nonperformance risk, the Company has considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit
enhancements, such as collateral postings.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives
fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with
its derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the
likelihood of default by itself and its counterparties. However, as of March&nbsp;31, 2009, the Company
has assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall
valuation of its derivative positions and has determined that the credit valuation adjustments are
not significant to the overall valuation of its derivatives. As a result, the Company has
determined that its derivative valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 2 of the fair
value hierarchy.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>Non-recurring fair value measurements of financial instruments</B>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company is required, on a non-recurring basis, to adjust the carrying value or provide
valuation allowances for certain financial assets using fair value measurements in accordance with
GAAP. The following is a summary of applicable non-recurring fair value measurements.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B><I>Loans. </I></B>Loans are generally not recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Periodically, the
Company records non-recurring adjustments to the carrying value of loans based on fair value
measurements for partial charge-offs of the uncollectible portions of those loans. Non-recurring
adjustments also include certain impairment amounts for collateral-dependent loans calculated in
accordance with SFAS No.&nbsp;114 when establishing the allowance for credit losses. Such amounts are
generally based on the fair value of the underlying collateral supporting the loan and, as a
result, the carrying value of the loan less the calculated valuation amount does not necessarily
represent the fair value of the loan. Real estate collateral is typically valued using appraisals
or other indications of value based on recent comparable sales of similar properties or assumptions
generally observable in the marketplace. However, the choice of observable data is subject to
significant judgment, and there are often adjustments based on judgment in order to make observable
data comparable and to consider the impact of time, the condition of properties, interest rates,
and other market factors on current values. Additionally, commercial real estate appraisals
frequently involve discounting of projected cash flows, which relies inherently on unobservable
data. Therefore, real estate collateral related nonrecurring fair value measurement adjustments
have generally been classified as Level 3. Estimates of fair value used for other collateral
supporting commercial loans generally are based on assumptions not observable in the marketplace
and therefore such valuations have been classified as Level 3. Impaired loans totaling $40.5
million were subject to nonrecurring fair value measurement at March&nbsp;31, 2009. These loans were
primarily commercial loans and these measurements were classified as Level 3. Impaired loans with a
cost basis of $8.3&nbsp;million were determined to require a valuation allowance, which was recorded at
$1.6&nbsp;million at March&nbsp;31, 2009 based on estimated fair value. This allowance represents a $0.6
million increase in the provision for impaired loans for the period ended March&nbsp;31, 2009.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B><I>Loans held for sale. </I></B>Loans originated and held for sale are carried at the lower of aggregate cost
or market value. Market value is based on committed secondary market prices, which is deemed to be
a level 2 classification. Loans held for sale totaled $5.3&nbsp;million at March&nbsp;31, 2009. No fair value
adjustments were recorded during the period ended March&nbsp;31, 2009 on loans held for sale.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B><I>Capitalized mortgage loan servicing rights</I></B><B>. </B>A loan servicing right asset represents the amount by
which the present value of the estimated future net cash flows to be received from servicing loans
are expected to more than adequately compensate the Company for performing the servicing. The fair
value of servicing rights is estimated using a present value cash flow model. The most important
assumptions used in the valuation model are the anticipated rate of the loan prepayments and
discount rates. Adjustments are only recorded when the discounted

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">cash flows derived from the
valuation model are less than the carrying value of the asset. Although some assumptions in
determining fair value are based on standards used by market participants, some are based on
unobservable inputs and therefore are classified in Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. Write-downs
on capitalized mortgage loan servicing rights totaled $144 thousand during the period ended March
31, 2009.

144, <I>&#147;Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets&#148;</I>. Thereafter, OREO properties
are recorded at the lower of cost or fair value. OREO fair values are primarily determined based on
Level 3 data including sales comparables and appraisals. OREO properties totaled $370 thousand at
March&nbsp;31, 2009. The Company recorded write-downs totaling $127 thousand during the period ended
March&nbsp;31, 2009 for existing OREO properties.

recognized as necessary based on the criteria established in SFAS No.&nbsp;142, <I>Goodwill and Other

was recorded on goodwill during the period ended March&nbsp;31, 2009.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Other intangibles are initially recorded at fair value based on Level 3 data, such as internal
appraisals and customized discounted criteria, and are amortized over their estimated lives on a
straight-line or accelerated basis ranging from five to ten years. The Company assesses its
intangibles for impairment periodically and recognizes impairment as necessary. The Company&#146;s net
other intangible balance as of March&nbsp;31, 2009 totaled $16.8&nbsp;million. This balance was primarily
made up of core deposit intangibles, insurance customer relationships, and non-compete agreements
assumed by the Company as part of historical acquisitions. No impairment was recorded on other
intangibles during the period ended March&nbsp;31, 2009.

also evaluating the possibility of repurchasing the warrants. However, there can be no assurance

Act of 1933 and Section&nbsp;21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These forward-looking
statements, which are based on certain assumptions and describe future plans, strategies, and
expectations of the Company, are generally identified by use of the words &#147;anticipate,&#148; &#147;believe,&#148;
&#147;estimate,&#148; &#147;expect,&#148; &#147;intend,&#148; &#147;plan,&#148; &#147;project,&#148; &#147;seek,&#148; &#147;strive,&#148; &#147;try,&#148; or future or

Although we believe that our plans, intentions and expectations, as reflected in these
forward-looking statements are reasonable, we can give no assurance that these plans, intentions or
expectations will be achieved or realized. Our ability to predict results or the actual effects of
our plans and strategies are inherently uncertain. Actual results, performance or achievements
could differ materially from those contemplated, expressed or implied by the forward-looking
statements contained in this Form 10-Q. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ
materially from our forward-looking statements are set forth under Item&nbsp;1A. &#151; &#147;Risk Factors&#148; in our
annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2008 and in Form 10-Q, and in other
reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. There are a number of factors, many of
which are beyond our control, that could cause actual conditions, events, or results to differ
significantly from those described in the forward-looking statements. These factors include, but
are not limited to: general economic conditions, either nationally or locally in some or all of the
areas in which we conduct our business; conditions in the securities markets or the banking
industry; changes in interest rates and energy prices, which may affect our net income or future
cash flows; changes in deposit flows, and in demand for deposit, loan, and investment products and
other financial services in our local markets; changes in real estate values, which could impact
the quality of the assets securing our loans; changes in the quality or composition of the loan or
investment portfolios; changes in competitive pressures among financial institutions or from
non-financial institutions; the ability to successfully integrate any assets, liabilities,
customers, systems, and management personnel we may acquire into our operations and our ability to
realize related revenue synergies and cost savings within expected time frames; our timely
development of new and competitive products or services in a changing environment, and the
acceptance of such products or services by our customers; the outcome of pending or threatened
litigation or of other matters before regulatory agencies, whether currently existing or commencing
in the future; changes in accounting principles, policies, practices, or guidelines; changes in
legislation and regulation; operational issues and/or capital spending necessitated by the
potential need to adapt to industry changes in information technology systems on which we are
highly dependent; changes in the monetary and fiscal policies of the U.S. Government, including
policies of the U.S. Treasury and the Federal Reserve Board; war or terrorist activities; and other
economic, competitive, governmental, regulatory, and geopolitical factors affecting the Company&#146;s
operations, pricing, and services. Additionally, the timing and occurrence or non-occurrence of
events may be subject to circumstances beyond our control. You should not place undue reliance on
these forward-looking statements, which reflect our expectations only as of the date of this
report. W

</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company&#146;s significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial
statements in the 2008 Form 10-K. Please see those policies in conjunction with this discussion.
The accounting and reporting policies followed by the Company conform, in all material respects, to
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and to general practices within the
financial services industry. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.
While the Company bases estimates on historical experience, current information and other factors
deemed to be relevant, actual results could differ from those estimates.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The Company considers accounting estimates to be critical to reported financial results if (i)&nbsp;the
accounting estimate requires management to make assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain
and (ii)&nbsp;different

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">estimates that management reasonably could have used for the accounting estimate in the current
period, or changes in the accounting estimate that are reasonably likely to occur from period to
period, could have a material impact on the Company&#146;s financial statements.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Accounting policies related to the allowance for loan losses, the valuation of deferred tax assets,
the estimates related to the initial measurement of goodwill and intangible assets and subsequent
impairment analyses, the determination of other than temporary impairment of investment securities,
and the determination of fair value of financial instruments are considered to be critical, as
these policies involve considerable subjective judgment and estimation by management. For
additional information regarding critical accounting policies, refer to Note 1 &#151; Summary of
Significant Accounting Policies in the notes to consolidated financial statements and the sections
captioned &#147;Critical Accounting Policies&#148; and &#147;Loan Loss Allowance&#148; in Management&#146;s Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in the 2008 Form 10-K. There
have been no significant changes in the Company&#146;s application of critical accounting policies since
year-end 2008. Please refer to the note on Recent Accounting Pronouncements in Note 1 to the
consolidated financial statements of this report for a detailed discussion of new accounting
pronouncements. The Company performs an annual impairment test of goodwill in the fourth quarter of
its fiscal year-end. As of March&nbsp;31, 2009, there have been no events requiring the Company to
perform an interim impairment test of goodwill.

2008. Earnings available to common shareholders totaled $3.2&nbsp;million ($0.27 per share) compared to
$6.0&nbsp;million ($0.58 per share).
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">First quarter 2009 results included the impact of Berkshire&#146;s common and preferred stock placements
in the prior quarter. Results in 2009 also included the impact of higher expenses related to FDIC
insurance premiums and the higher loan loss provision. Additionally, the economic downturn
contributed to the change in earnings per share.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Short-term interest rates remained near zero in the first quarter of 2009, and the economic
recession deepened. Most business lines were affected by a decline in demand, and the net interest
margin declined due to the impact of deposit market pricing floors. The margin was also affected
by run-off of loans as consumers refinanced mortgages into long term fixed rate mortgages sold to
the secondary market, and business loans decreased due to deleveraging by business customers. Net
loan charge-offs increased for several loan types as loan collateral lost value and provided less
protection on defaulted loans.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">During the first quarter, the Company introduced the Berkshire Bank Community Investment Program to
provide support and stimulus to our markets during this challenging economic time. This program
provides targeted loan support to key sectors and also offers assistance to qualifying customers
seeking better solutions for managing their credit.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Berkshire paid a dividend of $0.16 per share in the first quarter of 2009, which was a 7% increase
over the dividend of $0.15 per share in the first quarter of 2008 due to an increase in the
quarterly dividend amount in the second quarter of 2008.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>COMPARISON OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AT MARCH 31, 2009 AND DECEMBER 31, 2008</B>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B><I>Summary. </I></B>Total assets were $2.7&nbsp;billion at March&nbsp;31, 2009, increasing by $0.1&nbsp;billion (2%) from
year-end 2008. This increase was due to a $0.1&nbsp;billion increase in short-term investments funded
by a similar increase in deposits.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B><I>Assets. </I></B>Short-term investments at March&nbsp;31, 2009 included $110&nbsp;million invested short-term with
the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston. The $18&nbsp;million balance for the trading security represents
one economic development bond for which the Company has entered into an interest rate swap.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">There were no material changes in the investment portfolio during the most recent quarter. The net
unrealized loss on securities available for sale decreased to $0.8&nbsp;million from $2.9&nbsp;million due to
improved securities prices reflecting some normalization in the markets following turbulence in the
fourth quarter of 2008. The Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston (FHLBB)&nbsp;terminated its dividend to
shareholders following its report of a loss in 2008. The Company&#146;s equity investment in the FHLBB
totaled $21.1&nbsp;million at March&nbsp;31, 2009. The FHLBB expects to continue its operations and the
Company did not deem its investment in FHLBB to be impaired as of quarter-end. The Company owns
one pooled trust preferred security with a cost of $2.6&nbsp;million and a fair market value of $0.5
million. During the first quarter, the credit rating on this security was downgraded to Caa from
Aa. This security is expected to continue to perform in accordance with its terms and the
impairment was not viewed as other than temporary by the Company.

<DIV style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif">



<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Total loans decreased by $38&nbsp;million (2%) due to refinancings of residential mortgages into fixed
rate loans sold to federal agencies, along with planned runoff of automobile loans. All other
loans increased by $5&nbsp;million due to a $13&nbsp;million increase in home equity balances offset by a $7
million decrease in total commercial loans. Home equity balances grew primarily due to new
accounts related to continuing promotional offerings. Commercial loans declined due to lower
originations reflecting softer qualifying loan demand.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Non-performing assets decreased to 0.47% of assets at quarter-end, compared to 0.48% at the start
of the quarter. Performing delinquent loans decreased to 0.46% of total loans from 0.51%.
Annualized net loan charge-offs totaled 0.51% of average loans during the quarter, and the loan
loss allowance increased to 1.16% of total loans from 1.14% at the start of the quarter.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Classified performing loans increased to $92&nbsp;million at March&nbsp;31, 2009, compared to $73&nbsp;million at
the prior year-end. The increase was primarily in commercial construction loans to developers of
residential properties for which interest payments are current, but which are experiencing slower
sales in the current environment. The Company believes that these projects are adequately
supported by the underlying collateral and that the properties will generally be sold in the
ordinary course of business by the developers within a reasonable time frame. Additionally, the
Company is working with these developers under its recently announced Community Investment Program
to provide financing incentives to home buyers for these projects. Performing loans deemed to be
troubled debt restructurings increased to $17&nbsp;million at March&nbsp;31, 2009 from $7&nbsp;million at year-end
2008 due primarily to one $12&nbsp;million performing substandard commercial real estate loan to a
non-profit organization which is viewed as fully collateralized and expected to perform in
accordance with the restructured terms. Due to this loan, the total amount of impaired loans
increased to $41&nbsp;million at March&nbsp;31, 2009, compared to $29&nbsp;million at year-end 2008. At March&nbsp;31,
2009, there were $8&nbsp;million in impaired loans with a specific valuation allowance totaling $2
million and $33&nbsp;million in impaired loans with no specific valuation allowance.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B>Liabilities</B><B><I>. </I></B>Deposit growth totaled $109&nbsp;million (6%) in the first quarter of 2009. The growth in
deposits was recorded in all major categories, and was concentrated in money market and time
deposit accounts. In addition to funding growth in short-term investments, deposit growth also
funded a $32&nbsp;million reduction in borrowings during the first quarter, along with a $20&nbsp;million
reduction in due to broker due to the clearing of a securities purchase at year-end 2008. The
deposit growth, borrowings reduction, and increase in short-term investments boosted Berkshire&#146;s
liquidity and resources to fund planned future loan growth.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B><I>Equity. </I></B>Total stockholders&#146; equity increased by $4&nbsp;million in the first quarter due to retained
earnings and improved prices of investment securities. The ratio of tangible equity to assets at
quarter-end measured 9.2% and the ratio of total equity to assets measured 15.2%. Berkshire Bank&#146;s
regulatory capital ratios exceeded the requirements for the highest &#147;Well Capitalized&#148; rating,
including a Bank risk based capital ratio of 12.2%. Tangible book value per common share increased
to $16.03 from $15.73 during the quarter, and total common book value per share increased to $30.54
from $30.33. Net income available to common shareholders was net of dividends related to preferred
stock issued in the fourth quarter of 2008, together with the cost related to the amortization of
stock warrants that were issued in conjunction with the preferred stock.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE QUARTERS ENDED MARCH 31, 2009 AND 2008</B>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B><I>Summary. </I></B>First quarter 2009 net income decreased by $2.2&nbsp;million (36%) compared to the first
quarter of 2008. Total revenue decreased by $1.4&nbsp;million, the loan loss provision increased by
$1.7&nbsp;million, and total non-interest expense increased by $0.4&nbsp;million. Earnings per common share
were further impacted by additional common shares and preferred stock dividends resulting from
capital issuances in the fourth quarter of 2008. First quarter average diluted shares were 12.2
million in 2009, compared to 10.5&nbsp;million in 2008. First quarter income available to common
shareholders was net of $0.6&nbsp;million in 2009 related to preferred stock and warrant costs; there
were no similar charges in 2008.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B><I>Net Interest Income. </I></B>First quarter net interest income decreased by $0.6&nbsp;million (3%) in 2009
compared to 2008. The net interest margin was 3.11% in the first quarter of 2009, compared to
3.41% in the first quarter of 2008 and in the fourth quarter of 2008. The margin had been expected
to decrease due to the impact of deposit market pricing floors in the current low rate environment.
Additionally, the margin was impacted by the elimination of the Federal Home Loan Bank dividend,
mortgage and auto loan run-off, higher short-term investments, and a moderation in commercial loan
demand. Total first quarter average earning assets increased by $168&nbsp;million from year-to-year due
primarily to loan and securities growth in 2008, along with the growth in short-term investments in
the most recent quarter.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B><I>Non-Interest Income. </I></B>First quarter non-interest income decreased by $0.8&nbsp;million year-to-year due
to a $1.0&nbsp;million decrease in insurance and wealth management revenues. Insurance revenues
decreased $0.6&nbsp;million (11%) due to the soft pricing conditions in the industry. Of note,
insurance fee income is seasonally high in the first half of the year due to the receipt of
contingency income. First quarter contingency income totaled $2.3&nbsp;million in 2009, compared to
$2.8&nbsp;million in 2008. Wealth management revenues decreased by $0.4&nbsp;million from year-to-year,
reflecting the further decline in the stock market in the most recent quarter, following the
decline in the fourth quarter of 2008. Both insurance and wealth management fee revenues are based
on percentages of the underlying business volume &#151; premiums volume for insurance and the market
value of assets under management for wealth management. During the most recent quarter, there was
a $0.7&nbsp;million gain on the termination of a swap that was entered into at the start of the quarter
and terminated after interest rates changed later in the quarter. There was a $0.8&nbsp;million loss on
the prepayment of higher rate medium-term Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B><I>Loan Loss Provision. </I></B>The provision for loan losses is a charge to earnings in an amount sufficient
to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level deemed adequate by the Company. The level of
the allowance is a critical accounting estimate, which is subject to uncertainty. The level of the
allowance was included in the discussion of financial condition. The loan loss provision totaled
$2.5&nbsp;million in the first quarter of 2009, compared to $0.8&nbsp;million in the prior year first
quarter. Net loan charge-offs totaled $2.5&nbsp;million in the most recent period and measured 0.51% of
average loans on an annualized basis. This was an increase, as anticipated, from the 0.19% average
in 2008 due to the downturn in the economy. Charge-offs included $1.4&nbsp;million related to
commercial mortgages and $0.8&nbsp;million related to auto loans, which portfolio is in run-off. The
commercial mortgage charge-offs reflected further declines in real estate values. The auto loan
charge-off rate increased to an annual rate of 1.8% due to declines in the prices of newly
repossessed autos.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B><I>Non-Interest Expense and Income Tax Expense. </I></B>First quarter non-interest expense increased by $0.4
million due to a $0.6&nbsp;million increase in FDIC premiums reflecting higher rates charged to the
industry and the full utilization of credits in 2008 which are no longer available in 2009. All
other non-interest expense decreased by 1%. In February&nbsp;2009, the FDIC announced that it planned a
0.2% special assessment on deposits as of June&nbsp;30, 2009 and payable as of September&nbsp;30, 2009. The
FDIC then announced that the assessment might be lowered to 0.1% of deposits under certain
conditions. The Company had $1.9&nbsp;billion in deposits at March&nbsp;31, 2009, and the related assessment
amount would equate to $4.0&nbsp;million at the 0.2% assessment rate or $2.0&nbsp;million at the 0.1%
assessment rate based on these deposits. The actual amount of this planned assessment may differ
from these amounts.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The first quarter effective income tax rate improved to 28% in 2009 compared to 32% in 2008 due to
the higher proportionate benefit of tax preference items as a result of lower pretax income in
2009.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B><I>Results of Segment Operations. </I></B>The Company has designated two operating segments for financial
statement disclosure: banking and insurance. Additional information about the Company&#146;s accounting
for segment operations is contained in the notes to the financial statements. One of the Company&#146;s
strategies is to emphasize fee income growth to diversify revenues, and reduce reliance on net
interest income where margins are under pressure. The insurance segment is an important element of
this strategy. It reflects the operations of Berkshire Insurance Group which is a full service
insurance agency with ten offices in Western Massachusetts. During the first quarter of 2009,
income declined in both the banking and insurance segments due to the factors previously discussed.
For the Bank, these included lower revenues, and the higher loan loss provision and FDIC expense.
For the insurance group, the decline in revenue was the primary reason for the decrease in
earnings.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B><I>Comprehensive Income. </I></B>Accumulated other comprehensive income is a component of total stockholders&#146;
equity on the balance sheet. Comprehensive income includes changes in accumulated other
comprehensive income, which consists principally of changes (after-tax) in the unrealized market
gains and losses of investment securities available for sale and interest rate swaps. The change
in accumulated other comprehensive income was an increase of $2.3&nbsp;million in the first quarter of
2009 compared to a decrease of $1.0&nbsp;million in the first quarter of 2008. The increase in 2009
primarily reflected lower credit market spreads as financial markets began to normalize following
turbulence in the fourth quarter of 2008. Due to these impacts, the Company recorded $6.2&nbsp;million
in total comprehensive income in the first quarter of 2009, compared to $5.0&nbsp;million in the first
quarter of 2008.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B><I>Liquidity and Cash Flows. </I></B>The Company&#146;s primary sources of funds were deposit growth and loan
amortization and prepayments in the first quarter of 2009. The primary funds uses were reductions
of borrowings and other liabilities, and increases in short-term investments. Net deposit growth
and reinvestment of short-term investments are expected to be significant sources of funds during
the remainder of the year, and loan and securities growth are expected to be significant uses of
funds. Borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank are a significant source of liquidity for daily
operations and for borrowings targeted for specific asset/liability purposes. The Company expects
to use interest rate swaps in managing its funds sources and uses. Berkshire Hills Bancorp&#146;s
primary routine sources of funds are expected to be dividends from Berkshire Bank and Berkshire
Insurance Group. The holding company also receives cash from the exercise of stock options and
uses cash for dividends and debt service. The holding company had a cash balance of $43.4&nbsp;million
on deposit at Berkshire Bank at March&nbsp;31, 2009, primarily representing the proceeds from the
Company&#146;s common stock issuance in the fourth quarter of 2008. Additional discussion about the
Company&#146;s liquidity and cash flows is contained in the Company&#146;s 2008 Form 10-K in Item&nbsp;7.

discussion of stockholders&#146; equity. At March&nbsp;31, 2009, Berkshire Bank continued to be classified
as &#147;well capitalized.&#148; Additional information about regulatory capital is contained in the notes
to the consolidated financial statements and in the 2008 Form 10-K.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt"><B><I>Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations. </I></B>In the normal course of operations,
the Company engages in a variety of financial transactions that, in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles, are not recorded in the Company&#146;s financial instruments. These
transactions involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit, interest rate and liquidity risk.
Such transactions are used primarily to manage customers&#146; requests for funding and take the form of
loan commitments and lines of credit. A further presentation of the Company&#146;s off-balance sheet
arrangements is presented in the Company&#146;s 2008 Form 10-K. For the three months ended March&nbsp;31,
2009, the Company did not engage in any off-balance sheet transactions reasonably likely to have a
material effect on the Company&#146;s financial statements. Information relating to payments due under
contractual obligations is presented in the 2008 Form 10-K. There were no material changes in the
Company&#146;s payments due under contractual obligations during the first three months of 2009, except
for derivatives transactions. The Company entered into $34&nbsp;million in net additional interest rate
swaps on commercial loans, with an additional $34&nbsp;million net increase in back-to-back swaps with
institutional third parties. The total amount of commercial loans with back-to-back interest rate
swaps was $73&nbsp;million at March&nbsp;31, 2009. See note 10 on Derivative Financial Instruments and
Hedging Activities for additional information related to interest rate swaps.

approval of the stockholders of CNB Financial Corp. as well as regulatory approvals. There can be
no assurance that such approvals will be obtained, or that the regulatory approvals will not
contain a material adverse condition precluding closing the merger.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">The success of the proposed merger with CNB Financial Corp., the holding company for Commonwealth
National Bank, will depend on, among other things, our ability to realize anticipated cost savings

opportunities and does not materially disrupt the existing customer relationships of Commonwealth
National Bank nor result in decreased revenues resulting from any loss of customers. We anticipate
cost savings of approximately $2.3&nbsp;million. If we are not able to successfully achieve these
objectives, including the anticipated cost savings, the anticipated benefits of the merger may not
be realized fully or at all or may take longer to realize than expected. Additionally, we will make
fair value estimates of certain assets and liabilities in recording the merger. Actual values of
these assets and liabilities could differ from our estimates, which could result in our not

or terminated by the Board of Directors. The Company has no plans that it has elected to terminate
prior to expiration or under which it does not intend to make further purchases. During the
quarter, 9,579 shares were repurchased by the Company to fund tax withholdings for vested stock
awards and cashless stock option exercises during the period. These shares are not included in the
