TYPE OF REPORTING PERSON HC (See Item 5) This Statement amends in its entirety Item 5 of the Schedule 13D initially filed on November 13, 1997 and relates to the Common Stock (the "Common Stock") of Alliance Bancorp of New England, Inc. (the "Issuer"). Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer (a-b) One or more of Franklin Mutual Adviser, Inc.'s ("FMAI") advisory clients is the owner of 0 shares of the Common Stock representing approximately 0.0% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. Since FMAI's advisory contracts with its clients grant to FMAI sole voting and investment power over the securities owned by its advisory clients, FMAI may be deemed to have been, for purposes of Rule 13d-3 under the 1934 Act (the "1934 Act"), the beneficial owner of the securities covered by this statement. FMAI is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Franklin Resources, Inc. ("FRI"). Charles B. Johnson and Rupert H. Johnson, Jr. (the "Principal Shareholders") each own in excess of 10% of the outstanding common stock of FRI and are the principal shareholders of FRI. FRI and the Principal Shareholders therefore may be deemed to be, for purposes of Rule 13d-3 under the 1934 Act, the beneficial owner of securities held by persons and entities advised by FRI subsidiaries. FMAI, FRI and the Principal Shareholders each disclaim any economic interest or beneficial ownership in any of the securities covered by this statement owned by advisory clients of FRI subsidiaries. Furthermore, FRI, FMAI, and the Principal Shareholders are of the view that they are not acting as a "group" for purposes of Section 13(d) under the 1934 Act and that they are not otherwise required to attribute to each other the "beneficial ownership" of securities held by any of them or by any persons or entities advised by FRI subsidiaries. (c) The only transaction in the shares of the Common Stock within the past sixty days was the sale, on July 1, 1998, by one or more of FMAI's advisory clients of 200,599 shares of Common Stock at a price of $15.50 per share. (d) No person other than respective advisory clients of FMAI had the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds of the sale of the securities being reported herein. (e) Not applicable. After reasonable inquiry, and to the best of my knowledge and belief, I certify that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete, and correct.
