STATE STREET BOSTON CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) Note A - Basis of Presentation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of State Street Boston Corporation ("State Street") and its subsidiaries, including its principal subsidiary, State Street Bank and Trust Company ("State Street Bank"). All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current method of presentation. State Street's investment in its 50%-owned affiliate, Boston Financial Data Services, Inc., is accounted for by the equity method. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," was adopted by State Street effective January 1, 1994. SFAS No. 115 requires that debt and equity securities for which State Street does not have the positive intent or ability to hold to maturity and that are not considered to be part of trading-related activities be classified as available- for-sale securities and reported at their fair values, with unrealized gains and losses reported on a net-of-tax basis as a separate component of stockholders' equity. At March 31, 1994, the unrealized pre-tax loss on available-for-sale securities, was $18,556,000. Held to maturity investmentsnet of taxes (22,077) Ending Balance $ 1,178,701 $1,026,521 The accompanying notes are stated at cost, adjusted for amortizationan integral part of premiums and accretion of discounts. Securities classified as available-for-sale are purchased in connection with State Street's interest-rate risk management and may be sold in response to changes in interest rates and other factors. Gains or losses on securities sold are computed based on identified costs and included in fee revenue. Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 39, "Offsetting of Amounts Related to Certain Contracts" was adopted by State Street during the first quarter of 1994. Interpretation No. 39 changes the reporting of unrealized gains and losses on interest rate and foreign exchange contracts on the balance sheet. The interpretation requires that gross unrealized gains be reported as assets and gross unrealized losses be reported as liabilities. The amounts were previously shown on a net basis on the balance sheet. The interpretation, however, permits netting of such unrealized gains and losses with the same counterparty when master netting agreements have been executed. The adoption of this interpretation has resulted in an increase to other assets and other liabilities of $694 million at March 31, 1994. For the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, State Street has defined cash equivalents as those amounts included in the Statement of Condition caption, "Cash and due from banks." For the three months ended March 31, 1994 and 1993, long-term debt converted into common stock was $119,000 and $408,000, respectively. In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting of normal recurring accruals which are necessary for a fair presentation of thethese financial position of State Street and subsidiaries at March 31, 1994 and December 31, 1993, and its cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 1994 and 1993, and the consolidated results of its operations for the three months ended March 31, 1994 and 1993 have been made.

A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data, and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, which will be performed for the full year with the objective of expressing an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the consolidated statement of condition of State Street Boston Corporation as of December 31, 1993 and the related consolidated statements of income, cash flows and changes in stockholders' equity for the year then ended, not presented herein, and in our report dated January 13, 1994, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated statement of condition as of December 31, 1993, is fairly stated, in all materials respects, in relation to the consolidated statement of condition from which it has been derived.

FirstSecond quarter earnings per share were $.66 on a fully diluted basis, an increase of 20%18% from $.55$.56 per share in the firstsecond quarter of 1993. Net income in the quarter was $51.3$51.0 million, up 18% from $42.7$43.2 million a year ago. The bulk of net income is derived from financial asset services provided worldwide. Return on stockholders' equity was 18.3%17.6%.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)(CONTINUED) For the six-month period ending June 30, 1994, fee revenue was $489.3 million, up $90 million, or 23%, over 1993. The increase resulted primarily from growth in fiduciary revenue, up $59.6 million, or 20%, and additional foreign exchange revenue of $26.6 million.

Average interest-earning assets grew $4.8$2.0 billion, or 34%12%, to $18.9 billion, funded by additional short-term funds, from customers, due in part to the increase in trading volumes processed at State Street. Noninterest-bearing deposits increased $1.5 billion to $4.6 billion,$18.0 billion. Additional domestic and foreign deposits were up $2.7 billion to $6.7 billion. The $1.1 billion, or 51%, increase in average loans resulted primarily from additional securities settlement advances and other loans to financial asset services customers, and loans to securities brokers. Suchbrokers were the primary reason for a $1.2 billion, or 49% increase, in average loans. These types of loans, which are primarily short-term and structured to have relatively low credit exposure, constituted 46%backed by investment securities held at State Street, now constitute nearly half of the total average first quarter loan portfolio. Traditional commercial loans, which comprised 8%9% of total average assets for the quarter, grew $316 million, or 19%, with growth occurring in commercial loans, trade finance, leases and commercial loans. Over halfleases. Asset growth was funded by additional short-term funds from customers, due in part to the increase in transaction volume. Noninterest-bearing deposits increased $1.1 billion to $4.5 billion, and foreign deposits were up $2.4 billion to $7.3 billion. Three-quarters of the $522 million increase in foreign loans and some of the increase in foreign deposits reflect athe continuing program to streamline the cash component of State Street's global financial asset servicing capabilities by redesigning theour subcustody network.

State Street now directly services portfolio managers with a fixed-income workstation, using capabilities of Global Horizon Interchange to integrate data from various sources. Terminals on Global Horizon Interchange now total approximately 1,200. For the surge in revenue, it is now running somewhat less than 10% of total revenue. Progress was made onsix-month period ending June 30, 1994, operating expenses were $503.6 million, up $88.8 million, or 21%, over 1993 for the reengineering program, an end-to-end review and redesign of cash and securities processing. For example, the capacity to support non-U.S. transactions was increased, quality was improved, and unit costs were lowered by redesigning the use of the subcustody network. When compared with the first quarter of 1993, in State Street's core processing departments, the unit cost of processing non-U.S. securities was lowered by more than 15%. This project is not complete and further unit cost reductions are expected. STATE STREET BOSTON CORPORATION Part I. Item 2.

Excluding securities settlement advances and other loans to financial asset services customers and loans to securities brokers, loans were $1.9$2.1 billion, 8%9% of total assets. The provision for loan losses charged against income was $3.2 million, up from $2.7$2.9 million a year ago. During the quarter, the allowance for loan losses increased from $54.3$55.0 million to $55.0 million. Loan growth, primarily in loans with relatively low credit exposure, caused$55.9 million and the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of ending loans increased to decline to 1.67%1.72%.

STATE STREET BOSTON CORPORATION PART I. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) LINES OF BUSINESS The estimated results for State Street's two lines of business are derived from internal accounting systems, which are continually refined to reflect organizational performance. These systems allocate to each business revenue and expenses related to the business, as well as certain corporate overhead, operations and systems development expenses. They also incorporate processes for allocating assets and liabilities to each business, including the interest rates appropriate to each allocation. Capital is allocated using the Federal regulatory guidelines as a basis, coupled with management's judgement regarding the operational risks inherent in the businesses. The capital allocations may not be representative of the capital levels that would be required if these two lines of business were independent business units. This section of financial review presents performance results of State Street's two lines of business: financial asset services and commercial lending. The following line-of-business information is based on management accounting practices that conform to and support the strategic objectives and management structure of State Street and are not necessarily comparable with similar information for any other banking company: LINES OF BUSINESS

STATE STREET BOSTON CORPORATION PartPART I. ItemITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)(CONTINUED) ACCOUNTING CHANGES In the first quarter of 1994, State Street adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 39, "Offsetting of Amounts Related To Certain Contracts." This new accounting requirement for all corporations mandated that both unrealized gains and losses on certain off-balance sheet instruments be included on the balance sheet. In the past, unrealized gains or losses were shown net on the balance sheet. For State Street, the primary instrument affected was forward foreign exchange contracts, due in part to the treasury services provided to global financial asset services customers. Market risk of these instruments is controlled under State Street's credit and counterparty risk management system. Most of the contracts are for 90 days or less, which results in a portfolio of relatively short maturity. Because of this new reporting requirement, at March 31At June 30, approximately $700$686 million of unrealized gains and losses relating to off-balance sheet instruments were added to both other assets and other liabilities on the balance sheet. This reporting change did not affect the risk-based capital ratios, which have always included these off-balance sheet instruments. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" was adopted on January 1, 1994. This standard requires that available-for-sale securities be reported at fair value, with any unrealized gains and losses, net of taxes, reflected as a separate component of stockholders' equity. At January 1, 1994 the fair value of the available-for-sale portfolio exceeded this aggregate amortized cost by $4.8 million. This will create variability in stockholders' equity.

ItemITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)(CONTINUED) State Street expects to grow the balance sheet commensurate with growth in equity, maintaining capital ratios at State Street Bank which qualify for the "well-capitalized" designation. The corporation's objectives are to optimize the use of the balance sheet and to fully service customers, with emphasis on those services which State Street is uniquelywell positioned to provide. Liquidity is required to replace maturing liabilities, accommodate the transaction and cash management requirements of State Street's customers, meet loan commitments and accommodate other corporate needs. Liquidity is provided from the ability to access global market sources of funding and gather additional deposits, and from maturing short-term assets, sale of available for sale securities and payment of loans. State Street manages its assets and liabilities to maintain a high level of liquidity. The Corporation has an extensive and diverse funding base inside and outside the United States. A significant percentage of funding comes from customers who have other relationships with State Street, particularly those using financial asset services worldwide. Deposits are accessed through domestic as well as international treasury centers, providing a cost-effective, geographically diverse source of funding. Significant funding is also provided from institutional customers' demand for repurchase agreements for their short-term investment needs. State Street maintains other funding alternatives, ensuring access to additional sources of funds if needed. Relationships are maintained with a variety of investors, for a range of financial instruments, in various markets and time zones. State Street maintains a large portfolio of liquid assets. At March 31,June 30, 1994, the portfolio included $5.3$4.6 billion of interest-bearing deposits with banks and $1.9$2.2 billion of securities purchased under resale agreements. Although not relied on for daily liquidity needs, the $1.4$1.6 billion available-for-sale portfolio of marketable securities provides a significant secondary source of liquidity. State Street maintains strong liquidity ratios. When liquidity is measured by the ratio of liquid assets to total assets, State Street ranks among the highest of U.S. banking companies. Liquid assets consist of cash and due from banks, interest-bearing deposits with banks, Federal funds sold, securities purchased under resale agreements, trading account assets and investment securities. At March 31,June 30, 1994, the Corporation's liquid assets were 76%77% of total assets. STATE STREET BOSTON CORPORATION PartPART I. ItemITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)(CONTINUED) ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS Given firstsecond quarter results, we want to point out that there are factors in our environment that can influence short-term earnings performance. The particular factors that are causing us to be cautious are: 1. Part of our revenue is linked to asset-based fees and is thus sensitive to changes in prices of securities. However, because of the broadening range of services used by customers, a decreasing percentage of total revenue is affected. 2. While we focus our foreign exchange trading operations on our customers' transactions, and we expect this source of revenue to grow commensurate with the growth in cross-border investing, we acknowledge some variability in this revenue stream. 3. If U.S. dollar interest rates continue to rise, we expect two effects. With two-thirds of our funding in U.S. dollars, the growth rate of net interest revenue could be temporarily restrained. Securities lending revenue, which is included in the fiduciary compensation line of the income statement, isas expected, to reflectreflects lower interest rate spreads. Revenue from securities lending is less than 5% of our total revenue. GOALS State Street has a primary financial goal and supporting goals. The primary financial goal continues to be sustainable real growth in earnings per share. In support of that goal, the company aims for superior long-term performance. That translates into an ROE goal of 18%. This is an annual goal, not a goal for each and every quarter. State Street also has a revenue goal, which is expressed in real terms, or adjusted for inflation. In the 80's, real revenue grew at an annual compound growth rate of 12.5% per year. State Street aims to repeat that record in the 90's. Part II - Other Information Item 1. Legal Proceedings Reference is made to Note G to the Consolidated Financial Statements on Page 8.9. Item 2.
