ITEM 2 -- MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
 
PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW
 
     BayBanks' net income was $26.4 million for the second quarter of 1994, or
$1.38 per share, compared with net income of $14.2 million, or $.75 per share,
for the second quarter of 1993. Net income for the first six months of 1994 was
$47.7 million, or $2.49 per share, compared with $27.0 million, or $1.43 per
share, for the first six months of 1993. The increase in net income was affected
by the following items:
 
     - Operating income (defined below) increased by 30% in the second quarter
       of 1994, compared with that of the second quarter of 1993, as a result of
       an 8% increase in net interest income and an 11% increase in noninterest
       income, which was partially offset by a 1% growth in expenses. Included
       in noninterest income was a $4.4 million gain on the sale of student
       loans (see Page 10).
 
     - Asset quality continued to improve; nonperforming assets were reduced to
       $173 million, a 23% decrease from December 31, 1993, and a 44% decrease
       from June 30, 1993. As a consequence, the combined provision for loan
       losses and the other real estate owned (OREO) reserve decreased 50% to
       $8.5 million in the second quarter of 1994 from $16.9 million in the
       second quarter of 1993. The comparable decrease for the first six months
       of 1994 was 51%, or $17.4 million, compared with $35.4 million for the
       same period in 1993.
 
     - Net income for the first quarter of 1994 included an after-tax charge of
       $932 thousand, or $.05 per share, reflecting the cumulative effect of the
       Company's adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
       112, "Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits."
 
EARNINGS ANALYSIS
 
Operating Income
 
     Operating income, presented in TABLE A, is on a tax equivalent basis;
excludes net securities gains, and the provisions for loan losses and the OREO
reserve; and is before income taxes and the cumulative effect of the accounting
change. For the second quarter of 1994, total operating income was $54.2
million, compared with $48.2 million in the first quarter and $41.8 million in
the second quarter of 1993. The increase over the previous year was a result of
an 8% increase in net interest income and an 11% growth in noninterest income.
 
     For the six-month periods, operating income was $102.4 million in 1994,
compared with $82.2 million in 1993. In 1994, increases in both net interest
income and noninterest income were partially offset by a modest increase in
operating expenses.

Net Interest Income (tax equivalent basis)
 
     Net interest income was $114.9 million in the second quarter of 1994,
$110.6 million in the preceding quarter, and $106.1 million in the second
quarter of 1993. The net interest margin in the first and second quarters of
1994 was 5.00%, compared with 4.96% in the second quarter of 1993. Net interest
income and the net interest margin are affected by the mix of interest-bearing
assets and liabilities, movements in interest rates, and the level of
nonperforming assets. A 7% growth in average earning assets and a slight
improvement in the net interest margin were responsible for the increase in net
interest income in the second quarter of 1994, compared with the second quarter
of 1993. Net interest income and the net interest margin were affected by the
expansion of the securities portfolios, financed by purchased funds, to take
advantage of the Company's strong capital position.
 
     The cost of total interest-bearing liabilities fell 10 basis points to
2.35% in the second quarter of 1994 from 2.45% in the second quarter of 1993.
The yield on average earning assets fell by 7 basis points to 6.89% in the
second quarter of 1994, compared with 6.96% in the second quarter of 1993, due
to a decrease in the loan portfolio yield from 8.20% to 7.98%.
 
     For the six-month periods, net interest income increased from $208.7
million in 1993 to $225.5 million in 1994. This increase was related to a 6%
increase in average earning assets in 1994, compared with 1993 and an increase
in the net interest margin from 4.90% in 1993 to 5.01% in 1994. The cost of
total interest-bearing liabilities fell 34 basis points to 2.25% for the first
six months of 1994 from 2.59% in 1993. For the same period
 
                                        9
   10
 
the yield on average earning assets fell by 21 basis points to 6.81% in 1994,
compared with 7.02% in 1993, due to a decrease in the loan portfolio yield from
8.29% to 7.90%.
 
     Due to a recent rise in market interest rates, the yield on average earning
assets in the second quarter of 1994 was 6.89%, compared with 6.72% in the first
quarter of 1994. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 2.35% in the
second quarter of 1994, compared with 2.16% in the first quarter of 1994. The
Company's net interest margin was 5.00% in the first and second quarters of
1994.
 
Fees, Service Charges, and Other Noninterest Income
 
     Noninterest income consists primarily of service charges and fees on
deposit accounts and fees from credit and non-credit services and is well
diversified among consumer, corporate, and small business banking activities.
 
     Noninterest income (TABLE B) increased 11% to $54.0 million in the second
quarter of 1994, compared with $48.8 million in the second quarter of 1993. For
the first six months, noninterest income increased 8% to $103.7 million in 1994
from $95.6 million in 1993.
 
     Service charges and fees on deposit accounts continued to provide over one
half of noninterest income. Total service charges and fees on deposits increased
4% to $27.8 million in the second quarter of 1994, compared with $26.8 million
in the second quarter of 1993. For the first six months, service charges and
fees on deposit accounts were up 4% to $54.0 million in 1994 from $51.8 million
in 1993. The increase was attributable to higher service charges and fees on
consumer accounts partially offset by a decline in corporate service charges due
to higher earnings credit rates on compensating deposit balances.
 
     Credit card fees increased 2% to $4.6 million in the second quarter of
1994, compared with $4.5 million in the second quarter of 1993, due primarily to
the timing of promotional annual fee waivers in 1994. For the first six months
of 1994, credit card fees increased 7% to $9.7 million from $9.0 million in 1993
due to higher merchant volume and the timing of promotional fee waivers.
 
     Processing fees increased 18% to $4.0 million in the second quarter of 1994
from $3.4 million in the second quarter of 1993. For the six-month periods,
processing fees were $7.3 million in 1994 and $6.6 million in 1993. The increase
in processing fees in 1994 was primarily due to an increasing volume of
point-of-sale transactions.
 
     Mortgage banking fees decreased 44% to $1.5 million in the second quarter
of 1994 from $2.6 million in the second quarter of 1993. For the six-month
periods, mortgage banking fees were $3.8 million in 1994 and $5.4 million in
1993. The decrease in mortgage banking fees was due to a lower level of
secondary market activity resulting from a decrease in refinance volumes as
interest rates increased.
 
     Investment management and brokerage fees increased 29% to $1.9 million in
the second quarter of 1994 from $1.5 million in the second quarter of 1993. For
the six-month periods, investment management and brokerage fees increased 40% to
$4.0 million in 1994 from $2.8 million in 1993. The increase in investment
management and brokerage fees was due to increases in brokerage fees for retail
transactions, mutual fund sales fees, and investment advisory fees from
BayFunds(R). Total assets under management in BayFunds were $1.2 billion at June
30, 1994, compared with $1.0 billion at June 30, 1993.
 
     The Company periodically sells student loans when these loans are no longer
in a deferred payment status. During the second quarter of 1994, the Company
sold $127 million in student loans, resulting in a gain of $4.4 million; gains
related to the sale of student loans in the second quarter of 1993 were $223
thousand. It is not anticipated that significant student loan sales will occur

Operating Expenses
 
     The operating expense analysis presented in TABLE C (Page 12) separates
OREO and legal expenses related to the workout of problem assets from other
operating expenses. Operating expenses, excluding OREO and legal expenses
related to workouts (as well as writedowns and reserves related to OREO), were
$111.6 million in the second quarter of 1994, compared with $107.9 million in
the second quarter of 1993; for the first six months, these operating expenses
were $220.2 million in 1994, compared with $212.0 million in 1993.
 
     Salaries and benefits were $57.4 million in the second quarter of 1994,
compared with $52.5 million in the second quarter of 1993. For the first
six-month periods, salaries and benefits were $113.8 million in 1994, compared
with $104.1 million in 1993. The increase resulted from normal salary increases,
including the timing of such increases, higher accruals for performance awards,
higher benefits costs, and the additional staffing required by certain product
lines.
 
     Occupancy and equipment were $21.6 million in the second quarter of 1994,
compared with $22.4 million in the second quarter of 1993. For the first six
months of 1994, occupancy and equipment were $44.0 million, compared with $44.8
million for the first six months of 1993. The decrease in occupancy and
equipment is due principally to renegotiation of telecommunications and other
equipment rental contracts in 1994.
 
     FDIC insurance was $5.5 million in the second quarter of 1994, compared
with $4.9 million in the second quarter of 1993. The second quarter of 1993
amount reflects the FDIC retroactively giving banks the benefit of higher
capital ratios, achieved in the second half of 1992. A refund of $1.3 million,
related to the first six months of 1993, was received in the second quarter of
1993.
 
     Other operating expenses were $15.8 million in the second quarter of 1994,
compared with $16.3 million in the second quarter of 1993. Included in the 1993
second quarter is a charge of $1.4 million in interest expense related to issues
that the Company has settled or is contesting with the Internal Revenue Service.
 
     The cost of administering, managing, and disposing of OREO properties and
legal expenses related to workout were $3.1 million in the second quarter of
1994, compared with $5.2 million in the second quarter of 1993, reflecting the
continued disposition of OREO. For the first six months of 1994, these costs
were $6.7 million, down from $10.2 million in 1993.

Provision for Loan Losses and Other Real Estate Owned Reserve
 
     Due to the continued improvement in BayBanks' credit quality, the provision
for loan losses and the OREO reserve (credit provisions) declined substantially
in the second quarter of 1994 to $8.5 million, compared with $16.9 million in
the second quarter of 1993.
 
     The provision for loan losses was $6.0 million in the second quarter of
1994, compared with $9.0 million in the second quarter of 1993. For the first
six months of 1994, the provision for loan losses was $12.0 million, compared
with $20.5 million in 1993.
 
     The provision for the OREO reserve was $2.5 million in the second quarter
of 1994, compared with $7.9 million in the second quarter of 1993. For the first
six months of 1994, the provision for the OREO reserve was $5.4 million,
compared with $14.9 million in 1993. The OREO provision was net of $2.6 million
of net gains on sales of properties in the second quarter of 1994 and $937
thousand in the second quarter of 1993. For the first six months of 1994, net
gains on the sales of OREO properties were $3.1 million as compared with $2.0
million in 1993.
 
Income Taxes
 
     The Company reported a provision for income taxes of $17.6 million in the
second quarter of 1994, compared with $9.9 million in the second quarter of
1993. The effective tax rate in the second quarter of 1994 was 40.0%, compared
with 41.0% in the second quarter of 1993. For the 1994 and 1993 first six-month
periods, the effective tax rates were 40.2% and 39.9%, respectively.
 
BALANCE SHEET REVIEW
 
Trends in Earning Assets
 
     Average earning assets increased to $9.2 billion during the second quarter
of 1994, compared with $8.6 billion in the second quarter of 1993. The increase
was due primarily to the expansion of the securities portfolios, financed by
purchased funds, to take advantage of the Company's strong capital position.
Average earning assets were $9.1 billion for the first six months of 1994,
compared with $8.6 billion in the first six months of 1993.
 
Loan Portfolio
 
     The loan portfolio of the Company is diversified (TABLE D). Consumer loans
represent 63% of the quarter-end loan portfolio, with $1.2 billion in
residential loan balances and $2.6 billion in various types of
 
                                       12
   13
 
instalment loan balances. The consumer lending activities of the Company are
focused primarily on the Massachusetts market. The remaining 37% of the loan
portfolio is commercial and commercial real estate loans. The majority of the
Company's commercial loans are to New England-based companies, primarily local
middle-market companies and small businesses in Massachusetts.
 
     The Company originates fixed-and adjustable-rate residential mortgage
loans. The majority of fixed-rate residential real estate loan originations are
securitized and sold to the secondary market with servicing retained. The
remainder of the fixed-rate and floating-rate residential real estate loan
originations are held in the loan portfolio or may be securitized and
transferred to the securities available for sale portfolio.
 
     An analysis of changes in major loan categories for the second quarters and
first six months of 1994 and 1993 is presented in TABLE D. Net business volume
was $267 million, compared with $404 million in the second quarter of 1993.
Residential real estate loan volume in the second quarter was principally due to
mortgages for purchases as refinance activity continued to decline. The Company
sold $57 million of fixed-rate residential real estate loans during the second
quarter of 1994, compared with $169 million in the second quarter of 1993. At
June 30, 1994 loans held for resale were $18 million, compared with $174 million
at June 30, 1993. Instalment loan net business volume was $100 million in the
second quarter of 1994, compared with $33 million in the first quarter of 1994
and $127 million in the second quarter of 1993. Automobile lending totals were
down when compared with 1993's second quarter due to an exceptionally strong
performance in 1993. The decline in the automobile lending category was
partially offset by increased net business volumes in student loans, reserve
credit, and credit card loans. Outflows in the commercial real estate portfolio
were $6 million during the second quarter of 1994, compared with $7 million in
the second quarter of 1993. Commercial loan volumes continued to fluctuate due
to selected overnight money market-priced loans, international trade finance
activities, primarily with Mexican and South American banks, and continuing
paydowns on loans to certain industries where the Company is no longer active.

Securities Portfolios
 
     The securities portfolios are presented in TABLE E and consist of
short-term investments, securities available for sale, and investment
securities. The securities portfolio was $3.4 billion at June 30, 1994, $3.0
billion at December 31, 1993, and $2.7 billion at June 30, 1993. The weighted
average maturity of the securities portfolio was 1.6 years at June 30, 1994,
compared with .8 years at December 31, 1993 and 1.0 years at June 30, 1993.
During the first half of 1994, the average maturity of the securities portfolio
has been lengthened, and thus the yields on the portfolios also increased.
 
     Short-term investments were $160.9 million at June 30, 1994, compared with
$803.1 million at December 31, 1993, and $494.5 million at June 30, 1993. The
decline in the balance reflects the reinvestment of certain proceeds from
maturing short-term investments into the securities available for sale and
investment securities portfolios.
 
     Securities available for sale, consisting principally of debt securities,
are stated at market value in 1994, and at the lower of aggregate cost or market
for previous periods. Decisions to purchase or sell these securities as part of
the Company's ongoing asset and liability management process are based on
management's assessment of changes in economic and financial market conditions,
interest rate environments, the Company's balance sheet and its interest
sensitivity position, liquidity, and capital. At June 30, 1994, securities
available for sale had gross unrealized gains of $1.4 million and gross
unrealized losses of $16 thousand.
 
     The investment securities portfolio, principally debt securities, is stated
at amortized cost. This basis for valuation reflects management's intention and
ability to hold these securities until maturity. The Company's investment
securities portfolio was $2.7 billion at June 30, 1994, and $1.1 billion at June
30, 1993. The aggregate market value of the investment securities portfolio was
$2.7 billion and $1.1 billion at June 30, 1994 and 1993, respectively. The
maturity of the investment securities portfolio was extended to 2.0 years at
June 30, 1994, compared with 1.3 years at December 31, 1993, and 1.6 years at
June 30, 1993. At June 30, 1994, gross unrealized gains were $257 thousand, and
gross unrealized losses were $38.6 million.
 
     The Company's investment securities portfolio contains U.S. Government
securities, state and local government securities, asset-backed securities,
mortgage-backed securities, and industrial revenue bonds. The total state and
local government portfolio was $106 million at June 30, 1994, with the single
largest issue being approximately $5 million. Of this total, $76 million were
securities rated investment grade and $30 million were unrated. All municipal
securities are subject to an internal review process that assigns a rating to
the
 
                                       14
   15
 
securities. In the case of rated securities, the process verifies or adjusts the
independent rating. In the case of unrated securities only securities determined
to be equivalent to investment grade are purchased. Industrial revenue bonds are
also subject to a credit review process. While there is no ready market for the
Company's holdings of industrial revenue bonds, management has determined that,
based on periodic private placement quotes, their amortized cost is a reasonable
estimate of market value.
 
     Trading account securities, consisting of debt securities, are recorded at
market value. Trading account gains were $504 thousand in the second quarter of
1994 and $448 thousand in the second quarter of 1993.

Deposits and Other Sources of Funds
 
     The Company's extensive product lines and banking network of 202
full-service offices and 356 automated banking facilities generate significant
core deposits, which accounted for over 99% of total average deposits during the
second quarters of 1994 and 1993.
 
     Core deposits include transaction accounts (demand, NOW, and savings
accounts), money market deposit accounts, and consumer time certificates.
Average core deposits were $8.5 billion in the second quarter of 1994, compared
with $8.6 billion in the second quarter of 1993. Average core deposits were $8.5
billion and $8.6 billion for the first six months of 1994 and 1993,
respectively. Average transaction accounts were $4.9 billion in the second
quarter of 1994, compared with $4.5 billion in the second quarter of 1993 and
$4.8 billion in the first quarter of 1994, reflecting certain customers'
preferences to maintain significant balances in lower-yielding transaction
accounts, thus having a positive impact on the Company's net interest margin.
 
                                       15
   16
 
     Average money market deposit and consumer certificate of deposit balances
were $3.6 billion during the second quarter of 1994, compared with $4.1 billion
in the second quarter of 1993, and were $3.7 billion and $4.1 billion in the
first six months of 1994 and 1993, respectively.
 
     Average corporate certificates of deposit in excess of $100 thousand (CDs),
which represent a small portion of the Company's total funding, were $63 million
in the second quarter of 1994, compared with $35 million in the second quarter
of 1993, and were $50 million and $37 million in the first six months of 1994
and 1993, respectively.
 
     Purchased funds increased to $955 million at June 30, 1994, from $508
million at December 31, 1993, and $255 million at June 30, 1993, as the
securities portfolio was increased, as discussed in the Trends in Earning Assets
section. The use of purchased funds to finance the securities portfolio may be
continued in order to take advantage of the Company's strong capital position.
While these funding and investment actions increased net interest income, the
net interest margin reflects the lower net interest spread on such transactions.
 
Interest Rate Risk Management and Liquidity
 
     BayBanks' Capital Markets Committee monitors and manages the overall on-and
off-balance sheet interest sensitivity position, short-term investments, and the
securities portfolios, funding, and liquidity. Interest sensitivity, as measured
by the Company's gap position, is affected by the level and direction of
interest rates and current liquidity preferences of its customers. These
factors, as well as projected balance sheet growth, current and potential
pricing actions, competitive influences, national monetary and fiscal policy,
and the national and regional economic environment, are considered in the asset
and liability management decision process.
 
     The Company's interest sensitivity gap position in TABLE F is first
presented based on contractual maturities and repricing opportunities. In a
period of rising or falling interest rates this basis of presentation does not
reflect lags that may occur in the repricing of certain loans and deposits. For
example, the cost of certain interest-bearing core deposit categories may lag
changes in market interest rates, although the Company contractually could
change the interest rates on these deposits at any time. A management adjustment
provides for the expected repricing lags. The management adjustment also
recognizes that interest rate changes in these core deposit categories are not
as sensitive to changes in market interest rates.
 
     In addition to the gap analysis presented in the table, the Company also
uses a simulation model under varying interest rate scenarios, including the
effect of rapid changes (both increases and decreases up to 200 basis points) in
interest rates on its net interest income and net interest margin. The Company's
policy is to minimize volatility in its net interest income and net interest
margin.
 
     At June 30, 1994, the Company's adjusted gap position for the total
within-180-day period moved from a positive gap position of $116 million at
December 31, 1993, to a negative gap position of $458 million at June 30, 1994.
The total within-one-year gap moved from a positive $132 million at December 31,
1993, to a negative $460 million at June 30, 1994. The Company believes its
overall management-adjusted gap is essentially neutral, and therefore the effect
on net interest income of a change in market interest rates should not be
significant.

     Liquidity, for commercial banking activities, is the ability to respond to
maturing obligations, deposit withdrawals, and loan demand. The liquidity
positions of the Company's bank subsidiaries are closely monitored by the
Company's Capital Markets Committee. BayBank's retail network provides a stable
base of in-market core deposits and limits the need to raise funds from the
national market.
 
     The Company's net liquidity position (short-term investments, securities
available for sale, and investment securities, less pledged securities, large
CDs, and purchased funds) was $2.1 billion, or 22% of total deposits and
borrowings, at June 30, 1994, compared with $2.0 billion, or 23% of total
deposits and borrowings, at June 30, 1993. The Company also has additional
liquidity flexibility due to the relatively short average maturity (1.6 years)
of its securities portfolios.
 
     The statement of cash flows provides additional information on liquidity.
The statement of cash flows includes operating, investing, and financing
categories. Operating activities included $47.7 million in net income for the
first six months of 1994, before adjustment of noncash items. Investing
activities are primarily comprised of both proceeds from sales and purchases of
short-term investments and securities and net loan originations. Financing
activities present the net change in the Company's various deposit accounts,
short-term borrowings, and dividends paid.
 
     Cash and cash equivalents were $633 million at December 31, 1993. During
the first six months of 1994, net cash provided by operating activities was $295
million, net cash used in investing activities totaled $595 million and net cash
provided by financing activities was $327 million. Cash and cash equivalents
were $660 million at June 30, 1994.
 
     The parent company's sources of liquidity are dividend and interest income
received from its subsidiaries. The most significant uses of the parent
company's resources are capital contributions to banking and other subsidiaries
when appropriate and dividends paid to stockholders. In managing liquidity,
regulatory limitations on the extent to which bank subsidiaries can pay
dividends or supply funds to the parent company are taken into account. During
the first six months of 1994 the parent company did not provide any capital to
its subsidiaries. Dividends received from bank subsidiaries were $12.2 million;
dividends from nonbank subsidiaries were $2.0 million during the first six
months of 1994. The parent company paid $13.2 million in dividends to its
stockholders during the first six months of 1994. At June 30, 1994, the parent
company had $73 million in cash, short-term investments, and other securities.
The parent company does not sell commercial paper and does not have any
revolving credit lines or short-term debt outstanding.

CREDIT QUALITY REVIEW
 
Overview
 
     The Company continually monitors the credit quality of its loan portfolio.
Employing a standard system for grading loans, individual account officers
assign their loans a grade, or risk rating, and, if necessary, a specific loan
loss reserve. An independent Loan Review Department then reviews loan grades and
specific loan loss reserves. Any loan or portion of a loan determined to be
uncollectible is charged off. On a quarterly basis, senior management reviews
the loan portfolio, with particular emphasis on higher-risk loans, to assess the
credit quality and loss potential inherent in the portfolio. Also considered in
this review are delinquency trends and the adequacy of reserves. The size of the
allowance for loan losses, the related provision, as well as the adequacy of
OREO reserves reflect this analysis.
 
     Nonperforming assets, presented in TABLE G (which exclude restructured,
accruing loans, and accruing loans 90 days or more past due), include
nonperforming loans and OREO and were $173 million at June 30, 1994, a 23%
decrease from $224 million at December 31, 1993, and a 44% decrease from $308
million at June 30, 1993. In the second quarter of 1994, nonperforming assets
continued the downward trend that began in the first quarter of 1991. While the
Company expects to experience continued improvement in nonperforming assets, the
pace of that improvement will depend on many factors, including national and
regional economic conditions.

     The decline in nonperforming assets, presented in TABLE H (which exclude
restructured, accruing loans and accruing loans 90 days or more past due), is
affected by successful workout activities that include property sales, payments
on nonperforming loans, and loans that qualified for and were returned to
accrual status. These favorable resolutions were $40 million in the second
quarter of 1994, or 20% of nonperforming assets at the beginning of the period.
During the second quarter of 1994, additions to nonperforming assets were $23
million; additions to nonperforming assets in the second quarter of 1993 were
$33 million.
 
     Favorable resolutions increased for the first six months of 1994 compared
with 1993, as there was a net outflow before charge-offs and writedowns of $30
million in 1994, compared with a net outflow of $26 million in 1993.

Other Real Estate Owned
 
     OREO consists of foreclosed properties and in-substance foreclosures.
Foreclosed properties are being prepared for sale or are currently listed for
sale. The Company is also involved in managing in-substance foreclosures, taking
operating control to stabilize values while the properties are being prepared
for sale, or working closely with borrowers to obtain new equity.
 
     OREO (net of a valuation reserve) declined 42% to $89 million at June 30,
1994, from $153 million at June 30, 1993. The decline was primarily due to
property sales. The five largest OREO properties at June 30,
 
                                       19
   20
 
1994 ranged in value from $6.6 million down to $2.7 million, with the majority
of OREO comprised of smaller-value properties.
 
Restructured, Accruing Loans
 
     The Company restructures credits with borrowers experiencing a period of
financial difficulty, if such arrangements are likely to minimize losses the
Company may otherwise incur on a particular credit. Loans that have been
restructured generally remain on nonaccrual status until the customer has
demonstrated a period of performance under the new contractual terms.
Restructured, accruing loans were $12 million at June 30, 1994, compared with
$15 million at June 30, 1993.
 
Accruing Loans 90 Days or More Past Due
 
     Accruing loans 90 days or more past due presented in Table J declined 41%
to $42 million at June 30, 1994, compared with $70 million at June 30, 1993. Of
the $42 million in accruing loans past due 90 days or more at June 30, 1994, $13
million were residential real estate loans and $20 million were instalment
loans, which together represented 78% of the total. Residential real estate and
instalment loans by their nature include a large number of smaller loans. Of the
$13 million in such residential real estate loans, $11 million were in
owner-occupied properties. Commercial and commercial real estate accruing loans
90 days or more past due at June 30, 1994 were $9 million, compared with $22
million at June 30, 1993.

Allowance for Loan Losses
 
     The allowance for loan losses is increased by the provision for loan losses
and is reduced by net loans charged off (TABLE K). Net loans charged off were
$17.1 million in the second quarter of 1994, compared with $13.4 million in the
second quarter of 1993. The increase resulted from a higher level of commercial
real estate loans charged off and a lower level of commercial loan recoveries in
the second quarter of 1994 compared with the second quarter of 1993. Net
charge-offs for the first six months of 1994 were $29.4 million, level with the
first six months of 1993. The provision for loan losses was $6.0 million in the
second quarter of 1994, compared with $9.0 million in the second quarter of
1993. For the first six months of 1994, the provision for loan losses was $12.0
million, compared with $20.5 million for the first six months of 1993. Since
older problem assets are being resolved and the rate of emerging problem assets
continued to decline, the allowance for loan losses was not replenished to the
full extent of charge-offs. The allowance for loan losses was $154.1 million at
June 30, 1994, and $183.8 million at June 30, 1993. While the overall allowance
for loan losses declined, its coverage of nonperforming loans increased to 184%
at June 30, 1994, from 118% at June 30, 1993.

IMPENDING ACCOUNTING CHANGE
 
     In May 1993, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan." This
statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1994.
Adoption of Statement No. 114 will require changes in the disclosure of
nonperforming assets. Loans currently reported as nonperforming and in-substance
foreclosures will be reported as impaired loans in a financial statement
footnote. Restructured loans, reported as restructured, accruing loans prior to
the adoption of Statement No. 114, will not be regarded as impaired loans when
the statement is adopted if they are performing under the restructured terms.
Restructured, accruing loans entered into after the adoption of Statement No.
114 will be accounted for as impaired loans. The amount of impairment will be
determined by the difference between the present value of the expected cash
flows related to the loan using the contractual interest rate and its recorded
value, or as a practical expedient in the case of collateralized loans, the
difference between the appraised value of the collateral and the recorded amount
of the loan. Any additional impairment will be recorded as an adjustment to the
existing allowance for loan losses account. The adoption of Statement No. 114 is
not expected to have a material effect on the Company's results of operations or
financial condition.
