The Corporation was organized in Delaware in 1971 and on December 1 of that year became the owner of all of the outstanding capital stock, except directors' qualifying shares, of The Northern Trust Company (Bank), an Illinois banking corporation located in the Chicago financial district. The Corporation also owns three other banks in the Chicago metropolitan area, a bank in each of Florida, Arizona, California and Texas, and various other nonbank subsidiaries, including a securities brokerage firm and a futures commission merchant. The Corporation expects that although the operations of other subsidiaries will be of increasing significance, the Bank will in the foreseeable future continue to be the major source of the Corporation's assets, revenues and net income. Except where the context otherwise requires, the term "Corporation" refers to Northern Trust Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries. At December 31, 1993, the Corporation had consolidated total assets of approximately $16.9 billion and stockholders' equity of $1.2 billion. At June 30, 1993 the Corporation was the third largest bank holding company headquartered in Illinois and the 40th largest in the United States, based on consolidated total assets of approximately $16.3 billion on that date. THE NORTHERN TRUST COMPANY The Bank was founded by Byron L. Smith in 1889 to provide banking and trust services to the public. Currently in its one hundred and fifth year, the Bank's growth has come from internal sources rather than through merger or acquisition. At December 31, 1993, the Bank had consolidated assets of approximately $13.5 billion. At June 30, 1993, the Bank was the third largest bank in Illinois and the 38th largest in the United States, based on consolidated total assets of approximately $13.1 billion on that date. At December 31,1993 the Bank had seven active wholly owned subsidiaries: The Northern Trust International Banking Corporation, NorLease, Inc., The Northern Trust Safe Deposit Company, MFC Company, Inc., Nortrust Nominees Ltd., The Northern Trust Company U.K. Pension Plan Limited and The Northern Trust Company, Canada. The Northern Trust International Banking Corporation, located in New York, was organized under the Edge Act for the purpose of conducting international business. NorLease, Inc. was established by the Bank to enable it to broaden its leasing and leasing-related lending activities. The Northern Trust Safe Deposit Company was established in order to offer safe deposit facilities to the public. MFC Company, Inc. holds properties that are received from the Bank in connection with certain problem loans. Nortrust Nominees Ltd., located in London, is a U.K. trust corporation organized to hold U.K. real estate for fiduciary accounts. The Northern Trust Company U.K. Pension Plan Limited was established in connection with the pension plan for the Bank's London branch. The Northern Trust Company, Canada was established to offer institutional trust products and services to Canadian entities. OTHER NORTHERN TRUST CORPORATION SUBSIDIARIES The Corporation has three banking subsidiaries in the Chicago metropolitan area: Northern Trust Bank/O'Hare N.A., Northern Trust Bank/DuPage, and Northern Trust Bank/Lake Forest N.A. At December 31, 1993, the three Illinois banking subsidiaries had nine office locations with combined total assets of approximately $1.5 billion. The Corporation's Florida banking subsidiary, Northern Trust Bank of Florida N.A., is headquartered in Miami and at December 31, 1993, had fifteen offices located throughout Florida, with total assets of approximately $1.3 billion. The Corporation's Arizona banking subsidiary, Northern Trust Bank of Arizona N.A., is headquartered in Phoenix and at December 31, 1993 had total assets of approximately $214 million and serviced clients from four office locations. The Corporation has a Texas banking subsidiary, Northern Trust Bank of Texas N.A., headquartered in Dallas. It had four office locations and total assets of $152 million at December 31, 1993. The Corporation has one banking subsidiary in California, Northern Trust Bank of California N.A., headquartered in Santa Barbara. At December 31, 1993, it had six office locations and total assets of $141 million. The Corporation has several nonbank subsidiaries. Among them are Northern Trust Services, Inc., which provides management consulting services to nonaffiliated financial institutions. Northern Trust Securities, Inc. provides full brokerage services to clients of the Bank and the Corporation's other banking and trust subsidiaries and selectively underwrites general obligation tax-exempt securities. Northern Futures Corporation is a futures commission merchant. Northern Investment Corporation holds certain investments, including a loan made to a developer of a property in which - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- the Bank is the principal tenant. The Northern Trust Company of New York provides security clearance services for all nondepository eligible securities held by trust, agency, and fiduciary accounts administered by the Corporation's subsidiaries. Berry, Hartell, Evers & Osborne, Inc. is an investment management firm in San Francisco. Northern Trust Cayman International, Ltd. provides fiduciary services to clients residing outside of the U.S. CORPORATION'S INTERNAL ORGANIZATION The Corporation is organized into three principal business units: Corporate Financial Services and Personal Financial Services report to President and Chief Operating Officer William A. Osborn, who also heads the Commercial Banking and Corporate Management Services unit. In addition, the Corporation's Risk Management Unit focuses on financial and risk management. The following is a brief summary of the Corporation's business activities. CORPORATE FINANCIAL SERVICES John S. Sutfin, Vice Chairman of the Corporation, is head of Corporate Financial Services (CFS) which encompasses domestic and global custody trust- related services for securities traded in the United States and foreign markets, as well as securities lending, asset management, and cash management services. Master Trust/Master Custody is the principal product of CFS in the United States. Global Custody, the extension of domestic Master Custody to securities traded in markets foreign to the client, has been provided primarily through the Bank's London branch and Banque Scandinave en Suisse (BSS), in which the Bank has an investment of approximately 21%. The Corporation expects to transition most accounts custodied at BSS to the London branch during 1994. Related foreign exchange activities are conducted at the London branch. As measured by number of clients, the Corporation is a leading provider of Master Trust/Master Custody services in various market segments. At December 31, 1993 total assets under administration were $426.5 billion. The major market segments served are Corporate ERISA (pension and profit sharing funds subject to regulation under the Employment Retirement Income Security Act of 1974); public funds; taxable asset portfolios (foundations, endowments and insurance companies); and international asset portfolios (global assets of domestic and foreign institutions). To broaden the services provided to the defined contribution market, the Corporation signed a definitive agreement in December 1993 to acquire Hazlehurst & Associates, Inc., a privately-held retirement benefit plan services company based in Atlanta, Georgia. Hazlehurst's well established capabilities in retirement plan design, participant record keeping, and actuarial and consulting services will complement the Corporation's custody, fiduciary and investment management capabilities. The agreement is expected to close in the second quarter of 1994 subject to the approval of Hazlehurst shareholders and to regulatory approval. CFS also includes a correspondent trust market segment which provides custody, systems and investment services to smaller bank trust departments. Trust operations, The Northern Trust Company of New York and The Northern Trust Company, Canada are also included in CFS. PERSONAL FINANCIAL SERVICES Services to individuals is another major dimension of the Corporation's trust business. Barry G. Hastings, Vice Chairman of the Corporation, is head of Personal Financial Services (PFS) which encompasses personal trust and investment management services, estate administration, personal banking and mortgage lending. The Corporation's personal trust strategy combines private banking and trust services to targeted high net worth individuals in rapidly growing areas of wealth concentration. PFS is one of the largest bank managers of personal trust assets in the United States, with total assets under administration of $50.0 billion at December 31, 1993. The Corporation has created a broad national presence in the delivery of specialized private banking and personal trust services through the Bank and a network of banking subsidiaries located in Florida, Arizona, California, Texas and suburban Chicago. These full service banking subsidiaries are predominantly private banking and personal trust oriented and are included in PFS. In December 1993 the Corporation entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Beach One Financial Services, Inc., parent of The Beach Bank of Vero Beach in Florida. The agreement is expected to close in the third quarter of 1994 subject to the approval of Beach One shareholders and to regulatory approval. The Northern Trust Safe Deposit Company, Berry, Hartell, Evers & Osborne, Inc., and Northern Trust Securities, Inc. are also part of PFS. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- COMMERCIAL BANKING AND CORPORATE MANAGEMENT SERVICES Commercial Banking is headed by Gregg D. Behrens, Executive Vice President of the Bank. Commercial Banking offers a full range of banking services through the Bank and places special emphasis on developing institutional relationships in three target markets: middle market and small business companies in the Chicago and Midwest area, large domestic corporations, and financial institutions (both domestic and international). Credit services are administered in three groups: a Metropolitan Group, a Special Industries Group, and a Corporate and Correspondent Group. NorLease, Inc. and The Northern Trust International Banking Corporation are also part of Commercial Banking. Corporate Management Services (CMS), headed by J. David Brock, Executive Vice President of the Corporation, encompasses the treasury management products and services offered by the Corporation. This business serves the treasury needs of major corporations and financial institutions by providing products and services to accelerate cash collections, control disbursement outflows, and generate information to manage their cash positions. Treasury management products and services, including lockbox collection, controlled disbursement products and electronic banking, are developed and marketed in the Banking Services Group within CMS. CMS also includes banking operations and building management. RISK MANAGEMENT UNIT The Risk Management Unit, headed by Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Perry R. Pero, includes the Credit Policy function and the Bank's Treasury Department. The Credit Policy function is described fully on pages 16 to 17 of this report. The Treasury Department is responsible for managing the Bank's wholesale funding and interest rate risk, as well as the portfolio of interest rate risk management instruments under the direction of the Corporate Asset and Liability Policy Committee. It is also responsible for the investment portfolios of the Corporation and the Bank and provides investment advice and management services to the subsidiary banks. The Risk Management Unit also includes the Corporate Controller, Corporate Treasurer and Economic Research functions. GOVERNMENT POLICIES The earnings of the Bank, other banking subsidiaries, and the Corporation are affected by numerous external influences, principally general economic conditions, both domestic and international, and actions that the United States and foreign governments and their central banks take in managing their economies. These general conditions affect all of the Corporation's businesses, as well as the quality and volume of the loan and investment portfolios. An important regulator of domestic economic conditions is the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, which has the general objective of promoting orderly economic growth in the United States. Implementation of this objective is accomplished by its open market operations in United States government securities, the discount rate at which member banks may borrow from Federal Reserve Banks and changes in the reserve requirements for deposits. The policies adopted by the Federal Reserve may strongly influence interest rates and hence what banks earn on their loans and investments and what they pay on their savings and time deposits and other purchased funds. Fiscal policies in the United States and abroad also affect the composition and use of the Corporation's resources. COMPETITION The Corporation's principal business strategy is to provide quality financial services to targeted market segments in which it believes it has a competitive advantage and favorable growth prospects. As part of this strategy, the Corporation seeks to deliver a level of service to its clients that distinguishes it from its competitors. The Corporation emphasizes the development and growth of recurring sources of fee-based income and is one of only eight major bank holding companies in the United States that generates more revenues from fee-based services than from net interest income. The Corporation seeks to develop and expand its recurring fee-based revenue by identifying selected market niches and providing a high level of individualized service to its clients in such markets. The Corporation also seeks to preserve its asset quality through established credit review procedures and to maintain a conservative balance sheet. Finally, the Corporation seeks to maintain a strong management team with senior officers having broad experience and long tenure with the Corporation. Active competition exists in all principal areas in which the subsidiaries of the Corporation are presently engaged. The Corporate and Personal Financial Services business units compete with domestic and foreign financial institutions, trust companies, financial companies, personal loan companies, mutual funds and investment advisors. The Corporation is a leading provider of Master Trust/Master Custody services and has the leading market share in the Chicago area personal trust market. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Commercial Banking and Corporate Management Services business unit competes with domestic and foreign financial institutions, finance companies and leasing companies. Its products also face increased competition due to the general trend among corporations and other institutions to rely more upon direct access to the credit and capital markets (such as through the direct issuance of commercial paper) and less upon commercial banks and other traditional financial intermediaries. The chief local competitors of the Bank for trust and banking business are Continental Bank N.A., The First National Bank of Chicago and its affiliate American National Bank and Trust Company of Chicago, Harris Trust and Savings Bank, and LaSalle National Bank. The chief national competitors of the Bank for Master Trust/Master Custody services are Mellon Bank Corporation, State Street Boston Corporation, Bankers Trust New York Corporation, Chase Manhattan Corporation and Bank of New York Company, Inc. REGULATION AND SUPERVISION The Corporation is a bank holding company subject to the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (Act), and to regulation by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. The Act limits the activities which may be engaged in by the Corporation and its nonbanking subsidiaries to those so closely related to banking or managing or controlling banks as to be a proper incident thereto. Also, under section 106 of the 1970 amendments to the Act and the Federal Reserve Board's regulations, a bank holding company, as well as certain of its subsidiaries, is prohibited from engaging in certain tie-in arrangements in connection with any extension of credit or provision of any property or services. The Act also prohibits bank holding companies from acquiring substantially all the assets of or owning more than 5% of the voting shares of any bank or nonbanking company which is not already majority owned without prior approval of the Board of Governors. No application to acquire shares or assets of a bank located outside the state in which the operations of a bank holding company's banking subsidiaries are principally conducted may be approved by the Federal Reserve Board unless such acquisition is specifically authorized by a statute of the state in which the bank to be acquired is located. Illinois law permits bank holding companies located in any state of the United States to acquire banks or bank holding companies located in Illinois subject to regulatory determinations that the laws of the other state permit Illinois bank holding companies to acquire banks and bank holding companies within that state on qualifications and conditions not unduly restrictive compared to those imposed by Illinois law. Subject to these regulatory determinations, the Corporation may acquire banks and bank holding companies in such states, and bank holding companies in those states may acquire banks and bank holding companies in Illinois. Applicable laws also permit the Corporation to acquire banks or bank holding companies in Arizona, California, Texas, Florida and certain other states. Illinois law permits an Illinois bank holding company to acquire banks anywhere in the state. Illinois legislation also now allows Illinois banks to open branches anywhere within Illinois. The Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989 (FIRREA) amended the Act to authorize the Federal Reserve Board to allow bank holding companies to acquire any savings association (whether healthy, failed or failing) and removed "tandem operations" restrictions, which previously prohibited savings associations from being operated in tandem with a bank holding company's other subsidiaries. As a result, bank holding companies, including the Corporation, now have expanded opportunities to acquire thrift institutions. Under FIRREA, an insured depository institution which is commonly controlled with another insured depository institution shall generally be liable for any loss incurred, or reasonably anticipated to be incurred, by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) in connection with the default of such commonly controlled institution, or for any assistance provided by the FDIC to such commonly controlled institution, which is in danger of default. The term "default" is defined to mean the appointment of a conservator or receiver for such institution. Thus, any of the Corporation's banking subsidiaries could incur liability to the FDIC pursuant to this statutory provision in the event of a loss suffered by the FDIC in connection with any of the Corporation's other banking subsidiaries (whether due to a default or the provision of FDIC assistance). Although neither the Corporation nor any of its nonbanking subsidiaries may be assessed for such loss under FIRREA, the Corporation has agreed to indemnify each of its banking subsidiaries, other than the Bank, for any payments a banking subsidiary may be liable to pay to the FDIC pursuant to the provisions of FIRREA. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 7 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Bank is a member of the Federal Reserve System, its deposits are insured by the FDIC and it is subject to regulation by both these entities, as well as by the Illinois Commissioner of Banks and Trust Companies. The Bank is also a member of and subject to the rules of the Chicago Clearinghouse Association, and is registered as a government securities dealer in accordance with the Government Securities Act of 1986. As a government securities dealer its activities are subject to the rules and regulations of the Department of the Treasury. The Bank is registered as a transfer agent with the Federal Reserve and is therefore subject to the rules and regulations of the Federal Reserve. The Corporation's national bank subsidiaries are members of the Federal Reserve System and the FDIC and are subject to regulation by the Comptroller of the Currency. Northern Trust Bank/DuPage, a state chartered institution that is not a member of the Federal Reserve System, is regulated by the FDIC and the Illinois Commissioner of Banks and Trust Companies. The Corporation's nonbanking affiliates are all subject to examination by the Federal Reserve. In addition, The Northern Trust Company of New York is subject to regulation by the Banking Department of the State of New York. Northern Futures Corporation is registered as a futures commission merchant with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, is a member of the National Futures Association, the Chicago Board of Trade and the Board of Trade Clearing Corporation, and is a clearing member of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. Northern Trust Securities, Inc. is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission and is a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., and, as such, is subject to the rules and regulations of both these bodies. Berry, Hartell, Evers & Osborne, Inc. is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and is subject to that Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder. Various other subsidiaries and branches conduct business in other states and foreign countries and, therefore, may be subject to their regulations and restrictions. The Corporation and its subsidiaries are affiliates within the meaning of the Federal Reserve Act so that the banking subsidiaries are subject to certain restrictions with respect to loans to the Corporation or its nonbanking subsidiaries and certain other transactions with them or involving their securities. Information regarding dividend restrictions on the Corporation's banking subsidiaries is incorporated herein by reference to Note 12 titled Restrictions on Subsidiary Dividends and Loans or Advances on page 53 of the Corporation's Annual Report to Stockholders for the year ended December 31, 1993. Under the FDIC's risk-based insurance assessment system, each insured bank is placed in one of nine risk categories based on its level of capital and other relevant information. Each insured bank's insurance assessment rate is then determined by the risk category in which it has been classified by the FDIC. There is an eight basis point spread between the highest and lowest assessment rates, so that banks classified as strongest by the FDIC are subject to a rate of .23%, and banks classified as weakest by the FDIC are subject to a rate of .31%. The FDIC is prohibited from lowering the average assessment rate below .23% until the Bank Insurance Fund (Fund) has reached a reserve ratio of 1.25%. The FDIC currently estimates the Fund will achieve the designated reserve ratio in the first half of 2002. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 (FDICIA) substantially revised the bank regulatory and funding provisions of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and made revisions to several other federal banking statutes. In general, FDICIA subjects banks to significantly increased regulation and supervision. Among other things, FDICIA requires federal bank regulatory authorities to take "prompt corrective action" with respect to banks that do not meet minimum capital requirements, and imposes certain restrictions upon banks which meet minimum capital requirements but are not "well capitalized" for purposes of FDICIA. FDICIA and the regulations adopted under it establish five capital categories as follows, with the category for any institution determined by the lowest of any of these ratios: Tier 1 Tier 1 Total Leverage Ratio Risk-Based Ratio Risk-Based Ratio -------------- ---------------- ---------------- Well Capitalized 5% or above 6% or above 10% or above Adequately Capitalized 4% or above* 4% or above 8% or above Undercapitalized Less than 4% Less than 4% Less than 8% Significantly Undercapitalized Less than 3% Less than 3% Less than 6% Critically Undercapitalized - - 2% or below *3% for banks with the highest CAMEL (supervisory) rating. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 8 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- An insured depository institution may be deemed to be in a capitalization category that is lower than is indicated by the capital position reflected on its statement of condition if it receives an unsatisfactory rating by its examiners with respect to its assets, management, earnings or liquidity. Although a bank's capital categorization thus depends upon factors other than the statement of condition ratios in the table above, the Corporation has set capital goals for each of its subsidiary banks that would allow each bank to meet the minimum ratios that are one of the conditions for it to be considered to be well capitalized. At December 31, 1993, the Bank and each of the Corporation's other subsidiary banks met or exceeded these goals. The Corporation's capital ratios are disclosed and discussed on page 39 of the Corporation's Annual Report to Stockholders for the year ended December 31, 1993. Under FDICIA, a bank that is not well capitalized is generally prohibited from accepting or renewing brokered deposits and offering interest rates on deposits significantly higher than the prevailing rate in its normal market area or nationally (depending upon where the deposits are solicited); in addition, "pass-through" insurance coverage may not be available for certain employee benefit accounts. FDICIA generally prohibits a depository institution from making any capital distribution (including payment of a dividend) or paying any management fee to its holding company if the depository institution would thereafter be undercapitalized. Undercapitalized banks are subject to limitations on growth and are required to submit a capital restoration plan, which must be guaranteed by the institution's parent company. Institutions that fail to submit an acceptable plan, or that are significantly undercapitalized, are subject to a host of more drastic regulatory restrictions and measures. FDICIA directs that each federal banking agency prescribe standards for depository institutions or depository institutions' holding companies relating to internal controls, information systems, internal audit systems, loan documentation, credit underwriting, interest rate exposure, asset growth, compensation, a maximum ratio of classified assets to capital, minimum earnings sufficient to absorb losses and other standards as they deem appropriate. Many regulations implementing these directives have been proposed and adopted by the agencies. FDICIA also contains a variety of other provisions that may affect the operations of a bank, including new reporting requirements, regulatory standards for real estate lending, "truth in savings" provisions and a requirement that a depository institution give 90 days' prior notice to customers and regulatory authorities before closing any branch. STAFF The Corporation and its subsidiaries employed 6,259 full-time equivalent officers and staff members as of December 31, 1993, approximately 4,600 of whom were employed by the Bank. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 9 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- STATISTICAL DISCLOSURES The following statistical disclosures, included in the Corporation's Annual Report to Stockholders for the year ended December 31, 1993, are incorporated herein by reference. 1993 ANNUAL REPORT SCHEDULE PAGE(S) - ----------------------------------------------------------------- ------------- Foreign Outstandings............................................. .......... 33 Nonperforming Assets and 90 Day Past Due Loans................... .......... 34 Analysis of Reserve Credit Losses................................ .......... 35 Average Statement of Condition................................... .......... 62 Ratios........................................................... .......... 62 Analysis of Net Interest Income.................................. ..... 64 & 65 - ----------------------------------------------------------------- ------------- - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Additional statistical information as to the Corporation on a consolidated basis is set forth below.

The amounts shown in the table should not be construed as being the only amounts that are available for international loan charge-offs, since the entire reserve for credit losses is available to absorb losses on both domestic and international loans.

Credit Policy provides a system of checks and balances for the Corporation's diverse credit-related activities by establishing and monitoring all credit-related policies and practices throughout the Corporation and ensuring their uniform application. These activities are designed to ensure that credit exposure is diversified on an industry and client basis, thus lessening the overall credit risk to the Corporation. Individual credit authority within the Commercial Banking and Personal Financial Services business units is limited to specified amounts and maturities. Credit decisions involving commitment exposure in excess of the specified individual limits are submitted to the appropriate Group Credit Approval Committee (Committee). Each Committee is chaired by the executive in charge of the area and has a Credit Policy officer as a voting participant. Each Committee's credit approval authority is specified, based on commitment levels, credit ratings and maturities. Credits involving commitment exposure in excess of these group credit limits require, dependent upon the internal credit rating, the approval of the Credit Policy Credit Approval Committee, the head of Credit Policy, or the business unit head. Credit Policy established the Counterparty Risk Management Committee in order to manage the Corporation's counterparty risk more effectively. This committee has sole credit authority for exposure to all foreign banks, certain domestic banks which Credit Policy deems to be counterparties and which do not have commercial credit relationships within the Corporation, and other organizations which Credit Policy deems to be counterparties. Under the auspices of Credit Policy, country exposure limits are reviewed and approved on a country-by-country basis. As part of the Corporation's ongoing credit granting process, internal credit ratings are assigned to each client and credit before credit is extended, based on creditworthiness. Credit Policy performs a semi-annual review of selected significant credit exposures which is designed to identify at the earliest possible stages clients who might be facing financial difficulties. Internal credit ratings are also reviewed during this process. Above average risk loans, which will vary from time to time, receive special attention by both lending officers and Credit Policy. This approach allows management to take remedial action in an effort to deal with potential problems. An integral part of the Credit Policy function is a monthly formal review of all past due and potential problem loans to determine which credits, if any, need to be placed on nonaccrual status or charged off. The provision is reviewed quarterly to determine the amount necessary to maintain an adequate reserve for credit losses. The Corporation's management of credit risk is reviewed by various bank regulatory agencies. The Corporation's independent auditors also perform a review of credit-related procedures, the loan portfolio and other extensions of credit, and the reserve for credit losses as part of their audit of the Corporation's annual financial statements. ALLOCATION OF THE RESERVE FOR CREDIT LOSSES The reserve for credit losses is established and maintained on an overall portfolio basis. However, bank disclosure guidelines issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission request management to furnish a breakdown of the reserve for credit losses by loan category. Thus, in accordance with these disclosure guidelines, breakdowns are provided for the major domestic and foreign loan categories as follows: Allocated Reserve. Credit Policy estimates the amount that is necessary to provide for potential losses relating to specific nonperforming loans. The allocated portion of the reserve totaled $0.2 million at December 31, 1993, which related entirely to specific nonperforming loans. Total nonperforming loans were $27.3 million at December 31, 1993. Unallocated Reserve. The unallocated portion of the reserve is available for unknown losses that are inherent not only in the loan portfolio, but also in other extensions of credit. While the unallocated portion serves to cover specific groups of loans and other extensions of credit that entail higher than average risk, it is considered a general reserve available to absorb all credit- related losses. The unallocated portion of the reserve totaled $145.3 million at December 31, 1993 compared with $134.5 million at December 31, 1992. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 16 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In connection with management's assessment of the unallocated portion of the reserve for credit losses at December 31, 1993, the following groups of loans with specific risk elements were considered: . Management's ongoing review process identified loans with above average credit risk, including nonperforming loans with no specific reserve allocation, which totaled $336.3 million at December 31, 1993. Management assigns risk factors of either 5% to 10% or 5% to 20% to loan categories in this group and ascribed $16.8 million to $49.7 million of the unallocated reserve to this group. . Another risk group identified is composed of commercial real estate loans. Management believes that this group, which totaled $369.4 million at December 31, 1993 (not including $137.1 million of loans with above average credit risk just described), represented a general risk factor of 5% to 10% at year-end and accordingly $18.5 million to $36.9 million of the unallocated reserve was ascribed to this group of loans. . Another risk group identified is composed of highly leveraged credit transactions (HLTs). At December 31, 1993, HLTs, as defined by bank regulatory agencies and not included in the groups of loans discussed above, totaled $42.0 million. Management assigned a general risk factor of 3% to 5% and ascribed $1.3 million to $2.1 million of the unallocated reserve to HLTs. Based on this analysis, $36.6 million to $88.7 million of the unallocated portion of the reserve for credit losses at December 31, 1993 has been ascribed to the above three groups of loans.

The objective of interest rate sensitivity management is to prudently structure the balance sheet so that movements of interest rates on assets and liabilities (adjusted for off-balance sheet hedges) are highly correlated and produce a reasonable net interest margin even in periods of volatile interest rates. Proactive rate sensitivity management for the Corporation is presently focused on the Bank. Other subsidiary banks and foreign offices of the Bank operate under policies that limit the risk of a significant mismatch in their interest sensitivity gap. The Corporate Asset and Liability Policy Committee meets at least monthly to review and determine these rate sensitivity policies. Rate sensitivity management procedures consist of performing net interest income simulations as well as monitoring assets and liabilities that are rate-sensitive within 90 days, 182 days and one year. As a matter of policy, a reasonable balance of rate-sensitive assets and liabilities on a cumulative one year basis is maintained, thus minimizing the risk related to a sustained change in interest rates. Because of daily volatility in our balance sheet items, day-to-day interest sensitivity gaps are not necessarily indicative of the desired position at a specific time or the average experience in the surrounding time period. A negative rate sensitivity gap generally indicates a timing mismatch in that more liabilities than earning assets will be repriced within the period. The economic impact of creating a negative rate sensitivity position depends on the magnitude of actual changes in interest rates relative to the anticipated interest rates. If mismatches are created in a market that anticipates rising interest rates, but the actual increase in rates is lower than expected, net interest income is enhanced by taking the negative rate sensitivity gap. As a result of positions taken as of December 31, 1993, the Corporation's net interest income would be enhanced by not only a decline in interest rates but also by a modest increase. The table below reflects the Corporation's consolidated rate sensitivity position at December 31, 1993.
