NOTE 3. ACQUISITION OF FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS The Company's acquisition of the southern New Hampshire-based holding company, NFS Financial Corp. (NFS), parent company of NFS Savings Bank, FSB, and Plaistow Cooperative Bank, FSB, became effective after the close of business on June 30, 1995. The stockholders of NFS received $20.15 in cash and .1696 shares of BayBanks, Inc. common stock for each share of NFS common stock held, an aggregate of $58.1 million in cash and 487,267 shares of BayBanks, Inc. common stock which were issued at a value of $38.6 million. In addition, outstanding options to purchase NFS common stock were converted into options to purchase an aggregate of 29,778 shares of BayBanks, Inc. common stock. The options issued were valued at $1.5 million. At June 30, 1995, NFS had total assets of $625 million. Following the acquisition, NFS Savings Bank, FSB and Plaistow Cooperative Bank, FSB were merged and are operating as BayBank FSB. In addition, 7 7 the name of the holding company was changed from NFS to BayBank New Hampshire, Inc. (BBNH). In September of 1995, BBNH was merged into BayBanks, Inc. This acquisition was accounted for as a purchase. Accordingly, the results of operations of BayBank FSB have been included with those of the Company since the date of acquisition. Under this method of accounting, the purchase price is allocated to the respective assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values, net of applicable income tax effects. Goodwill (the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired) of $37 million was created in the acquisition. Goodwill is being amortized in other operating expenses on a straight-line basis over 15 years. The unaudited pro forma consolidated results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, assuming the acquisition of NFS had occurred as of January 1, 1995 and 1994, respectively, are as follows: PRO FORMA RESULTS ----------------------- NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, ----------------------- 1995 1994 ---------- ---------- (IN THOUSANDS EXCEPT SHARE AMOUNTS) Net interest income................................................... $ 387,975 $ 355,965 Noninterest income.................................................... 166,423 158,661 Income before cumulative effect of accounting change.................. 100,911 78,671 Net income............................................................ 100,911 77,739 Income before accounting change per share............................. 5.09 4.01 Net income per share.................................................. 5.09 3.96 Average common shares outstanding..................................... 19,824,026 19,632,971 On March 24, 1995, the Company announced that it had agreed to acquire Cornerstone Financial Corporation (Cornerstone), parent company of Cornerstone Bank of Derry, NH.

The payment of dividends by national and state banks is generally limited by statute to their retained earnings, after deducting losses and statutorily defined bad debts in excess of established allowances for loan losses. The payment of dividends by national banks is further limited by statute to the current year's net income plus the undistributed net income of the two preceding years. The Company's bank subsidiaries are also required to achieve and maintain certain minimum capital ratios under applicable regulatory guidelines. Banking regulators have authority to prohibit banks and bank holding companies from paying dividends if they deem payment to be an unsafe or unsound practice. As of December 31, 1994, the Company's bank subsidiaries could have declared additional dividends of approximately $91 million while remaining in compliance with the foregoing statutory limitations and remaining "well capitalized" under regulatory capital guidelines. Any decision to declare a dividend by the Company or any of its subsidiaries also considers additional factors, including the amount of current period net income, liquidity, asset quality, and economic conditions and trends. Federal law imposes limitations on the extent to which the Company's bank subsidiaries may finance or otherwise supply funds to the Company and its nonbank subsidiaries. Such transactions with the Company and each of its nonbank subsidiaries are limited to 10% of each subsidiary bank's capital and surplus. There is also a 20% limit on each bank's aggregate covered transactions with the Company and all of its nonbank subsidiaries. At December 31, 1994, the Company had no borrowings outstanding from any of its subsidiaries, and one of the Company's nonbank subsidiaries had a secured loan of $37,549,000 outstanding from a bank subsidiary, representing 5.6% of the aggregate capital and surplus of the bank subsidiaries. The parent company has not sold commercial paper and does not have any revolving credit lines or other short-term debt outstanding that relies on credit ratings from public rating agencies. The Company has a Stockholders Rights Plan under which stock purchase rights have been distributed to the Company's stockholders. The rights may become exercisable in the event of certain unsolicited attempts to acquire the Company. The rights, which expire in December 1998, become exercisable 10 business days after a person, including a group, acquires 20% or more of the Company's outstanding common stock or commences a tender offer that would result in such person owning 25% or more of such stock or the Board of Directors determines that a person owning 10% or more of such stock is an "adverse person." If any person becomes the owner of 25% or more of the outstanding common stock or the Board determines that a person is an adverse person, the rights of holders other than such owner or adverse person become rights to buy shares of common stock of the Company (or of the acquiring company if the Company is acquired in certain mergers or other business combinations) having a market value of twice the exercise price of each right, with the result that such owner's or adverse person's interest in the Company would be substantially diluted. The Company may redeem the right, at a price of $.01 per right, until 10 business days after a person acquires 20% or more of the outstanding common stock or the Board has determined that a person is an adverse person. NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES BASIS OF PRESENTATION -- The consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries follow generally accepted accounting principles and reporting practices applicable to the banking industry. Material intercompany transactions have been eliminated. Certain prior years' amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.

These securities are recorded at market value; realized and unrealized gains and losses on trading securities are recorded in the current period in noninterest income. SECURITIES -- Effective January 1, 1994, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities." SFAS No. 115 requires that changes in the market value of the securities available for sale portfolio be recorded directly to a separate category of stockholders' equity, net of deferred income taxes. Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 115, securities available for sale were valued at the lower of aggregate cost or market value, and changes therein were recorded directly to earnings, net of income taxes. At adoption, the market value of the securities available for sale portfolio exceeded its amortized cost by $4,443,000, or $2,500,000 on an after-tax basis. At December 31, 1994, the market value of the securities available for sale portfolio exceeded its amortized cost by $470,000, or $276,000 on an after-tax basis, reflected in stockholders' equity. 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. The cost of securities sold is determined by the specific identification method. The investment securities portfolio, principally debt securities, is stated at cost, adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount using a level yield method. This basis for valuation reflects management's intention and ability to hold these securities until maturity. INTEREST RATE SWAP AGREEMENTS -- The Company occasionally uses interest rate swap agreements to manage its interest rate exposure. The net differential paid or received on the swaps is accounted for as an adjustment to the yield on the item hedged. LOANS -- Interest income on most loans is accrued on the principal amount of loans outstanding. Unearned income on leases and loans, $24,717,000 at year-end 1994 and $24,086,000 at year-end 1993, is credited to interest income on a basis that results in approximately level rates of return over the term of the lease or loan. Certain loan fees and credit card fees, net of certain qualifying origination costs, are deferred and amortized over the life of the related loan or commitment period. Deferred loan and credit card fees, included in unearned income, were $9,861,000 and $11,353,000 at year-end 1994 and 1993, respectively. The Company engages in certain mortgage banking activities through a mortgage subsidiary. Mortgage loans originated and held for sale are carried at the lower of aggregate cost or market value. Gains and losses on loans sold are determined using the specific identification method. Gains and losses on loans sold with servicing rights retained are adjusted to reflect the difference between the present value of future service fee income and a normal service fee. The resulting excess mortgage servicing rights are amortized using the level yield method as a reduction of service fee income over the remaining lives of the loans. Actual prepayment experience is reviewed periodically, and the excess mortgage servicing rights are adjusted accordingly to reflect current circumstances. At December 31, 1994 and 1993, mortgage loans held for sale were $4,571,000 and $138,764,000, respectively; excess mortgage servicing rights were $3,610,000 and $4,213,000, respectively. Loans serviced for others were $1.9 billion, $2.0 billion, and $1.8 billion at December 31, 1994, 1993, and 1992, respectively. Loans are placed on nonaccrual and are considered nonperforming when payment of principal or interest is considered to be in doubt. In addition, all loans past due 90 days or more as to principal or interest are placed on nonaccrual status except for certain consumer loans and those loans which, in management's judgment, are adequately secured and for which collection is probable. Previously accrued income that has not been collected is reversed from current income, and subsequent cash receipts are applied to reduce the unpaid principal balance. Loans are returned to accrual status when collection of all contractual principal and interest is reasonably assured and there has been sustained repayment performance. Nonperforming loans were $54,627,000 at year-end 1994 and $110,001,000 at year-end 1993. Interest income earned during the year on year-end nonperforming loans was approximately $568,000; if these loans had been performing under 39 17 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) contractual terms, interest would have been approximately $4,485,000. In 1993, these amounts were $960,000 and $8,300,000, respectively. Loans are classified as restructured, accruing loans, after a period of performance, when the Company has granted, for economic or legal reasons related to the borrower's financial difficulties, a concession to the customer that the Company would not otherwise consider. Such concessions can be any one or a combination of the following modifications to the terms of the debt: the reduction of the stated interest rate for the remaining original life of the debt; extension of the maturity date at a stated interest rate lower than the current market rate for new debt with similar risk; reduction of the face amount or maturity amount of the debt as stated in the debt instrument; and reduction of accrued interest. In accordance with guidance issued by banking regulators, restructured, accruing loans that are performing in accordance with the restructured terms and bear a market rate of interest at the time of restructure are removed from the disclosure in years subsequent to the restructure. Restructured, accruing loans were $13,537,000 and $18,398,000 at December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively. During 1994 and 1993, interest income recorded on these loans approximated a market interest rate and in the aggregate was not significantly different had these loans performed according to their original terms. There are no commitments to lend additional funds to these borrowers. ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES -- Loans considered to be uncollectible are charged to the allowance for loan losses. Additions to the allowance are provided by recoveries of previously charged-off loans and by the provision for loan losses in amounts sufficient to maintain the adequacy of the allowance. The adequacy is determined by management's evaluation of potential losses in the portfolio, economic conditions, historical net charge-offs, and anticipated portfolio growth. Included in the allowance are amounts allocated to specific loans, amounts allocated to other loans that may become uncollectible but cannot be individually identified, and unallocated amounts. Management believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate. Various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the allowance for loan losses of the Company's subsidiaries. Such agencies can require the Company to recognize additions to the allowance based on regulatory judgments of information available at the time of their examination. On January 1, 1995, the Company adopted SFAS No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan," and SFAS No. 118, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan -- Income Recognition and Disclosures." These statements specify certain methods for calculating the allowance related to impaired loans. A loan is impaired when it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. The adoption of these statements, which will be accounted for prospectively, is not expected to change the overall amount of the allowance for loan losses and the other real estate owned reserve and is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's reported results of operations or financial condition. OTHER REAL ESTATE OWNED -- Other real estate owned (OREO) consists of foreclosed properties and in-substance foreclosures. Loans are classified as in-substance foreclosures under the following circumstances: when the debtor has little or no equity in the collateral, considering the current fair value of the collateral; and when proceeds for repayment of the loan can be expected to come only from the operation or sale of the collateral; and when the debtor has either formally or effectively abandoned control of the collateral to the creditor or retained control of the collateral, but, because of the current financial condition of the debtor, or the economic prospects for the debtor and/or the collateral in the foreseeable future, it is doubtful that the debtor will be able to rebuild equity in the collateral or otherwise repay the loan in the foreseeable future. The adoption of SFAS No. 114 impacts the accounting for in-substance foreclosures beginning January 1, 1995. SFAS No. 114 has narrowed the definition of in-substance foreclosures to assets for which the Company has received physical possession of the collateral. Upon adoption of this statement on January 1, 1995, the Company reclassified $33,173,000 of in-substance foreclosures and $8,669,000 of related reserves to loans and the allowance for loan losses, respectively. 40 18 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) OREO is recorded at the lower of the book value of the loan or the fair value of the asset acquired, less estimated disposition costs. The excess, if any, of the loan amount over the fair value of the asset acquired is charged off against the allowance for loan losses. Pursuant to the adoption of accounting Statement of Position (SOP) 92-3, "Accounting for Foreclosed Assets," which became effective for periods ending after December 15, 1992, subsequent changes in the value of OREO (including in-substance foreclosures) are recorded directly to an OREO reserve. These changes in the OREO reserve are included in total operating expenses. Proceeds in excess of the carrying value at the time of sale are recorded as a reduction in the provision for the OREO reserve. Prior to the adoption of SOP 92-3, changes in the value of OREO were recorded directly to the value of the property. Expenses to administer these properties are charged to operating expense as incurred. INCOME TAXES -- Effective January 1, 1993, the Company adopted SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." SFAS No. 109 changed the Company's method of accounting for income taxes from the deferred method to the asset and liability method. The objective of the asset and liability method is to establish deferred tax assets and liabilities for the temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of the Company's assets and liabilities at enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when such amounts are realized or settled. A valuation allowance, if necessary, is established to provide for deferred tax assets that are not expected to be realized. Adoption of SFAS No. 109 did not have a material effect on the Company's results of operations or financial condition. Prior to adoption of SFAS No. 109, the Company accounted for income taxes under Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 11. Under APB Opinion No. 11, deferred taxes were provided for all significant items of income and expense that were recognized in different periods for financial reporting and income tax purposes. EARNINGS PER SHARE -- Earnings per common share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and dilutive common stock equivalents (stock options) for each period presented. Average dilutive common stock equivalents were 303,286 for 1994 and 282,175 for 1993. The dual presentation of primary and fully diluted earnings per common share is not presented, since the difference in earnings per share is less than 3%. NOTE 3. FEDERAL RESERVE ACCOUNT BALANCES The Company's banks are required to maintain average reserve balances with the Federal Reserve Bank. These balances can be in the form of either vault cash or funds left on deposit with the Federal Reserve Bank. The average amount of these balances was $309,821,000 for 1994 and $305,379,000 for 1993. 41 19 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) NOTE 4.

The book value of securities pledged to secure public and trust deposits and to meet other legal requirements was $1,137,115 at December 31, 1994. During 1994, proceeds from sales of securities available for sale were $313,796,000, resulting in gross realized gains of $518,000. There was $3,000 in gross realized losses from the sales of these securities. Proceeds from sales of investment securities within 90 days of maturity, regarded as maturities in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, were $313,459,000, resulting in gross realized losses of $312,000. During 1993, proceeds from sales of securities available for sale were $449,217,000, resulting in gross realized gains of $439,000. There was $28,000 in gross realized losses from the sales of these securities. During 1992, proceeds from sales of securities available for sale were $1,192,000,000, and proceeds from sales of investment securities were $1,262,000,000, resulting in gross realized gains of $41,123,000 and $37,506,000, respectively. There was $1,700,000 in gross realized losses from the sales of investment securities. During 1994, BayBank, the Company's principal bank subsidiary, became a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston (FHLB). As a member of the FHLB, BayBank is required to invest in the stock of the FHLB in an amount equal to the greater of 1% of residential mortgage loans or 3/10 of 1% of total assets. As of December 31, 1994, $27,556,000 in the stock of the FHLB is included in the securities available for sale portfolio in the other category at cost, which approximates market value. On January 1, 1994, the Company adopted SFAS No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," as more fully discussed in Note 2. 43 21 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) NOTE 5. LOANS TO RELATED PARTIES Loans outstanding to related parties of the Company and its principal subsidiaries consist primarily of loans made to executive officers and business interests related to certain directors; these loans totaled $18,899,000 and $32,045,000 at December 31, 1994, and December 31, 1993, respectively.

PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT Premises and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation on buildings is computed primarily on a straight-line basis with estimated lives ranging from 25 to 50 years. Furniture and equipment useful lives generally range from 3 to 10 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over their useful lives or lease terms, whichever is shorter. Premises and equipment were comprised of the following: 1994 1993 -------- -------- (IN THOUSANDS) Buildings...................................................... $161,598 $160,770 Leasehold improvements......................................... 59,596 54,807 Land........................................................... 16,974 16,125 Equipment...................................................... 197,818 178,155 -------- -------- 435,986 409,857 Less accumulated depreciation.................................. 240,556 217,303 -------- -------- Premises and equipment, net.................................... $195,430 $192,554 ======== ======== Depreciation and amortization expense of premises, equipment, and leasehold improvements was $24,365,000 in 1994, $24,218,000 in 1993, and $24,246,000 in 1992. Total rental expense was $24,967,000 in 1994, $26,346,000 in 1993, and $27,367,000 in 1992, net of $1,473,000, $1,705,000, and $2,232,000 in rental income from subleases, respectively. Contingent rentals were negligible. As of December 31, 1994, the Company and its subsidiaries were obligated, under noncancelable operating leases (primarily for premises), for minimum rentals in future periods as follows: TOTAL RENTAL NET OBLIGATION INCOME OBLIGATION ---------- ------- ---------- (IN THOUSANDS) 1995.................................................. $11,620 $1,152 $10,468 1996.................................................. 10,598 1,028 9,570 1997.................................................. 9,708 786 8,922 1998.................................................. 7,186 646 6,540 1999.................................................. 5,164 609 4,555 Thereafter............................................ 12,002 1,063 10,939 Most leases contain escalation of rent clauses based on increases in real estate taxes or equipment usage.

LONG-TERM DEBT In September 1985, the Company issued $50,000,000 in floating-rate notes. The notes will mature on September 30, 1997, and pay interest at a rate, adjusted quarterly, of 1/8 of 1% above the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) for three-month Eurodollar deposits. During 1994 the weighted average rate paid was 4.44%, and at December 31, 1994, the rate was 6.44%. The proceeds were used in the funding of the affiliate banks on identical terms. The notes may be redeemed by the Company in whole or in part at any time at 100% of the principal amount plus accrued interest. The balance of long-term debt at December 31, 1994, includes mortgage debt at two subsidiaries totaling $823,000. The monthly payment amounts of the mortgages totaled $7,000 in 1994 with final maturities from 1997 to 2013. Obligations on capitalized leases totaled $331,000 at December 31, 1994. NOTE 10. EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTION PLANS The Company offers shares of common stock to key employees under stock option plans. Options are awarded by a committee of the Board of Directors. The following is a summary of the changes in options outstanding for the last three years: 1994 1993 1992 -------- -------- -------- Options outstanding at the beginning of the year........... 830,434 916,348 817,684 Options granted............................................ -- 97,500 182,000 Options exercised..........................................

Unless exercised, the options will expire at varying dates through 2003. There was no compensation expense recorded in the years presented related to stock options. 46 24 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) In addition to the above, the Company has a restricted stock plan that was adopted in 1994. A total of 500,000 shares may be awarded under the plan, which expires in 2004. As of December 31, 1994, 112,000 shares had been awarded. The Company also had a restricted stock plan that expired in 1992. Under this plan, 400,000 shares were awarded. Certificates for shares awarded are issued in the name of the employee, who has all the rights of a shareholder, with the shares subject to certain restrictions. At December 31, 1994, such restrictions remained on 237,543 shares outstanding from these plans. The certificates are held by the Company until the restrictions lapse or the shares are forfeited. Restriction periods vary from 1 to 10 years from the date of grant. During 1994, restrictions on 50,652 shares lapsed, and 5,200 shares were forfeited. The fair market value of awarded shares was previously recorded as deferred compensation as a segregation of surplus that is amortized to benefits expense over the restriction period. The unamortized amounts were $6,150,000 at December 31, 1994, $1,451,000 at December 31, 1993, and $2,952,000 at December 31, 1992. Compensation expense related to restricted stock grants, net of forfeitures, was $1,553,000 in 1994, $1,099,000 in 1993, and $2,243,000 in 1992. NOTE 11. BENEFITS The Company and its subsidiaries provide a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan that covers substantially all employees. Benefits are based upon length of service and qualifying compensation during the final years of employment. Contributions are made to the plan as costs are accrued. Assets held by the plan consist primarily of government securities and common stock.

As of December 31, 1994 and 1993, $4,269,000 and $1,962,000, respectively, were included in accrued expense and other liabilities for this plan.

Employees are eligible to participate in these plans if they meet certain service requirements. Benefits are based on the Company's financial performance. A portion of these benefits is payable under the ESOP in shares of the Company's common stock. In 1990, the ESOP borrowed $18,600,000 from a third party to purchase 800,000 shares of the Company's common stock. This loan, unconditionally guaranteed by the Company, bears interest at a rate equal to Reserve Adjusted LIBOR plus .35% and is payable in eight annual instalments ending January 31, 1997. At December 31, 1994, the balance of the ESOP loan was $9,451,000 at an interest rate of 6.54%, and unallocated ESOP shares were 406,495. During 1994, ESOP expense included an accrual of $2,450,000 to cover the loan payment due on January 31, 1995, and interest expense, net of dividends, on the ESOP loan of $473,000. The dividends used to service the ESOP debt, which were paid on shares held by the ESOP, were $1,188,000 in 1994 and $697,000 in 1993; there were no dividends in 1992. The Company accrued additional contributions to the savings and profit sharing plan of $2,100,000 in 1994; the Company accrued no such additional contributions in 1993 or 1992. The Company has a plan providing severance benefits for certain employees of the Company and its subsidiaries with respect to certain terminations of employment within two years after a change in control of the Company. Approximately 3,800 employees are potentially eligible for benefits under the plan. Existing 48 26 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) compensation and benefit plans have been amended to protect previously earned compensation and future benefits in the event of a change in control of the Company. The Company adopted SFAS No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions" as of January 1, 1993. SFAS No. 106 requires a calculation of the present value of expected benefits to be paid to employees after their retirement and an allocation of those benefits to the periods in which employees render service to earn the benefits. For employees retiring prior to December 31, 1993, the Company provided $5,000 of life insurance and a Medicare premium supplement and permitted those under 65 to participate in the Company's medical plan by paying the full group rate; full-time employees pay approximately 25% of the group rate. Those retiring after December 31, 1993, will not receive the Medicare supplement and will pay premiums for life and medical insurance reflecting the Company's full cost of coverage for retirees. The initial transition obligation associated with the adoption of SFAS No. 106 was $3,600,000. In accordance with the statement, the Company will recognize this liability over the remaining service periods of plan participants. Since eligibility for these Company-subsidized benefits ceased at December 31, 1993, this period ranges from approximately three years for the medical insurance to thirteen years for the life insurance and Medicare supplements. The table below sets forth the status of the Company's accumulated postretirement benefit obligation, which was unfunded as of December 31: Accumulated Postretirement Benefit Obligation: 1994 1993 ------- ------- (IN THOUSANDS) Accumulated postretirement benefit obligation............................ $(3,086) $(3,597) Unrecognized net (gain) loss............................................. (273) 186 Unrecognized prior service cost.......................................... -- -- Unrecognized net transition obligation................................... 2,801 3,152 ------- ------- Net postretirement benefit liability..................................... $ (558) $ (259) ======= ======= Postretirement benefit expense was $613,000 in 1994 and $619,000 in 1993. Increasing the health care cost trend by 1% in each year would not materially affect the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation as of December 31, 1994, or the aggregate of the service and interest components of the net periodic postretirement benefit cost for the twelve months ended December 31, 1994. The present value of the accumulated benefit obligation assumed a 8.50% discount rate compounded annually. Effective January 1, 1994, the Company adopted SFAS No. 112, "Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits." SFAS No. 112 covers all postemployment benefits not already covered by the two prior accounting pronouncements. Adoption of SFAS No. 112 resulted in additional postemployment benefits of $1,615,000, which were recorded in the first quarter of 1994 at $932,000 on an after-tax basis. The annual cost of postemployment benefits to former employees for 1994 was $1,851,000. 49 27 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) NOTE 12.

NOTE 15. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH CREDIT RISK AND OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK AND DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK -- The Company is a commercial banking organization, providing diversified financial services to individuals, businesses, governmental units, and other banks. The Company provides a comprehensive range of credit, non-credit, and international banking products and services to the New England region, with particular emphasis in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and accordingly is affected by general economic conditions in the region. OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK -- In the normal course of business, the Company occasionally uses various off-balance sheet commitments and financial instruments for interest rate risk management purposes and to accommodate certain financing requirements of customers. These commitments and financial instruments may include loan commitments, interest rate swaps and options, standby letters of credit, loans sold with recourse, letters of credit, forward contracts, interest rate caps, and interest rate floors. These instruments involve varying degrees of credit and market risk in excess of the amounts included in the consolidated balance sheet. The contract or notional amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of the Company's involvement in each particular class of financial instrument. The Company's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the counterparty to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit, and financial guarantees under recourse arrangements is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in extending commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. For interest rate swaps, caps, and floors, the contract or notional amounts do not represent an exposure to credit loss. The Company controls the credit risk of its interest rate swap agreements through credit approvals, limits, and monitoring procedures in conjunction with its interest rate risk management activities. Unless otherwise noted, the Company does not require collateral or other security to support financial instruments with credit risk. 52 30 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS -- The Company has only limited involvement with derivative financial instruments for interest rate risk management and trading purposes. Off-balance sheet and derivative financial instruments at December 31, 1994 and 1993, were as follows: CONTRACT OR NOTIONAL AMOUNT ------------------------- 1994 1993 ---------- ---------- (IN THOUSANDS) Loan commitments.................................................... $3,065,000 $2,763,000 Standby letters of credit........................................... 146,000 164,000 Foreign exchange contracts.......................................... 99,000 44,000 Loans sold with recourse............................................ 38,000 46,000 Forward commitments................................................. 23,000 134,000 Securities purchase and sell commitments............................ 15,000 29,000 Interest rate swaps and options..................................... 14,000 8,000 Letters of credit................................................... 14,000 15,000 Municipal note purchase agreements.................................. 2,000 4,000 LOAN COMMITMENTS, LETTERS OF CREDIT, AND STANDBY LETTERS OF CREDIT -- Loan commitments and letters of credit are granted under the same credit policies used for on-balance sheet outstandings. Commitments are subject to various terms and conditions that have to be met before being drawn upon and have a fixed expiration date. The nature of many commitments is such that they are expected to expire without being drawn upon, thus not requiring future funding by the Company. The fair value of loan commitments was $3,500,000 and $2,100,000 at December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively. Letters of credit are documents, principally related to export and import trade transactions, issued by the Company on behalf of its customers in favor of third parties, who can present demands on the Company within specified terms and conditions. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The fair value of letters of credit was $177,000 and $175,000 at December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively. FOREIGN EXCHANGE CONTRACTS -- The Company enters into offsetting agreements to purchase foreign currency and, in turn, to sell it to customers. Credit risk exists because in the event that a customer fails to take delivery of the foreign currency, the Company is required to resell it to the market. The fair value of foreign exchange contracts was $780,000 and $552,000 at December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively. LOANS SOLD WITH RECOURSE -- The Company sells residential mortgage loans to the secondary market in connection with its mortgage banking business. While the majority of these loans are sold on a nonrecourse basis, there is a nominal dollar amount of recourse loans. All residential mortgage loans are subject to the same credit policies, and off-balance sheet loans with recourse have the same credit risk as on-balance sheet loans. If a borrower defaults on a loan sold with recourse, it is sold back to the Company to initiate normal collection efforts. FORWARD COMMITMENTS -- The Company enters into forward contract commitments to reduce the market risk associated with originating residential mortgage loans for sale. Contractual terms of forward commitments specify the aggregate amount of the contract, the interest rate or prices at which loans are to be delivered, and the period covered. The market risk to the Company is the potential inability to originate loans at prices specified in the contract within the commitment period, thus resulting in a potential difference between loan origination requirements under contract terms and those loans acquired at market prices to fulfill the commitment. The Company also enters into a limited number of forward rate options with commercial customers, which in turn are hedged in their entirety. SECURITIES PURCHASE AND SELL COMMITMENTS -- In connection with its capital markets activities, the Company regularly commits to purchase and sell securities. 53 31 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) INTEREST RATE SWAPS AND OPTIONS -- The Company uses interest rate swap contracts and options in conjunction with asset and liability management activities and to adjust interest rate risk associated with specific customer transactions. These agreements allow the Company to exchange fixed or variable interest rate payment amounts on existing assets or liabilities without changing the terms or amount of the underlying principal. Interest rate swaps are stated in notional terms, which represent the aggregate amount of the specific asset or liability being hedged by the interest rate swap transaction. However, the actual exposure to credit risk is the stream of interest payments under the contractual terms of the swap, not the notional amount. The Company manages the credit risk by entering into interest rate swap agreements only with highly regarded counterparties after a credit review process. MUNICIPAL NOTE PURCHASE AGREEMENTS -- In connection with its capital markets activities, the Company has committed to purchase certain municipal securities from investors in the event that the issuing municipality fails to pay principal or interest when due. NOTE 16. DISCLOSURES ABOUT THE FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Under the provisions of SFAS No. 107, "Disclosures about the Fair Value of Financial Instruments," the Company is required to estimate and disclose the fair value of certain of its on- and off-balance sheet financial instruments. SFAS No. 107 defines what constitutes a financial instrument and recommends general methodologies to determine fair value. The fair value of a financial instrument as defined in SFAS No. 107 is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. Quoted market prices are used to establish fair value when they are available for a particular financial instrument, and present value and other valuation techniques are utilized to estimate the fair value of financial instruments that do not have quoted market prices. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument for which disclosure is required by SFAS No. 107. CASH AND DUE FROM BANKS AND INTEREST-BEARING DEPOSITS AND OTHER SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS -- The current fair value of these financial instruments is defined as the amount recorded in the balance sheet categories. SECURITIES PORTFOLIOS -- Securities available for sale, investment securities, and trading account securities are financial instruments that are usually traded in broad markets. Fair values are based upon market prices and dealer quotes. If a quoted market price is not available for a particular security, the fair value is determined by reference to quoted market prices for securities with similar characteristics. LOANS -- For certain homogeneous categories of instalment loans, including student loans and credit card receivables, fair value has been estimated using quoted market prices for similar loans. The fair value of other instalment loans, including automobile financing, was determined by discounted cash flow techniques using interest rates for similar loans at December 31, 1994 and 1993. Credit risk factors were incorporated in the discount rates used for these loans and are reflected in the market prices obtained for homogeneous loans. The fair value of residential mortgage loans, including ARMs and fixed-rate loans, was determined using discounted cash flow techniques with year-end interest rates, and by comparison with quoted market prices for mortgage-backed securities with similar interest rates and terms. The analysis also reflected estimated prepayment factors. The fair value of both fixed- and variable-rate commercial and commercial real estate loans was determined by discounted cash flow techniques. Year-end 1994 and 1993 interest rates were used that incorporated the risk of credit loss associated with each type of loan, based on an evaluation performed as of December 31, 1994 and 1993. OTHER ASSETS -- Financial instruments classified as other assets that are subject to the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 107 consist principally of interest receivable, excess mortgage servicing rights, and required 54 32 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) investments in low-income housing limited partnerships. The carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximate their fair value. DEPOSITS -- The fair value of demand deposits, NOW and savings accounts, and money market deposits is defined by SFAS No. 107 as the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. Therefore, for these financial instruments, the amounts recorded in the balance sheet are also reported as their fair value under the provisions of the statement, and no core deposit value was derived for fair value disclosure purposes. The fair value of certificates of deposit with fixed interest rates was estimated by the use of present value techniques. These techniques consider the cash flow related to these certificates, year-end interest rates at which similar certificates were issued with similar remaining maturities, and the probability of early withdrawal if interest rates were to rise. SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS -- The carrying amounts of federal funds purchased and other short-term borrowings are defined to approximate their fair values. LONG-TERM DEBT -- The fair value of long-term debt was established by market prices of the debt and present value techniques that consider the debt's remaining maturity and yield and the current credit ratings of the Company. ACCRUED EXPENSES AND OTHER ACCOUNTS PAYABLE -- Financial instruments included in accrued expenses and other accounts payable that are subject to the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 107 consist principally of interest payable. The carrying value of interest payable approximates its fair value. OFF-BALANCE SHEET FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS -- The estimated fair values of loan commitments, standby letters of credit, and foreign exchange contracts are disclosed in Note 15. The fair values of all other off-balance sheet financial instruments were not considered to be material. These financial instruments generally are not sold or traded, and there is no standard methodology for determining their fair values. The Company's loan commitments are not beyond normal market terms and do not include fees or conditions other than those associated with customary market practices. The fair value of loan commitments was calculated by determining the discounted present value of the remaining contractual fees over the unexpired commitment period, generally not more than one year. The fair value of securities purchase and sell commitments was determined by reference to the price of the underlying securities. The fair value of standby letters of credit was determined by reference to the current fees charged to issue similar letters of credit. The fair value of forward commitments, foreign exchange contracts, and interest rate swaps was determined by reference to the market for similar instruments. The fair values of the financial instruments presented, and as determined under the guidelines established by SFAS No. 107 as previously described, depend highly on assumptions as they existed as of December 31, 1994 and 1993, and on the related methodologies applied and do not purport to represent actual economic value in a bona fide transaction with a legitimate buyer under normal market conditions. It should also be noted that different financial institutions will use different assumptions and methodologies in determining fair values such that comparisons between institutions may be difficult. The Company did not attempt to determine the fair value of its substantial base of core deposits, as their disclosure is not required and due to the lack of generally accepted, industry-wide methodology for determining such values. With that understand- 55 33 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) ing, the financial statement amounts and estimated fair values of financial instruments at December 31, 1994 and 1993, were as follows: 1994 1993 ------------------------- ------------------------- FINANCIAL FAIR FINANCIAL FAIR STATEMENT VALUE STATEMENT VALUE ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- (IN THOUSANDS) Financial assets Cash and due from banks................. $ 829,170 $ 829,170 $ 632,985 $ 632,985 Interest-bearing deposits and other short-term investments................ 166,286 166,286 803,068 803,068 Trading accounts........................ 27,416 27,416 14,595 14,595 Securities portfolios................... 2,776,851 2,702,186 2,228,063 2,238,537 Loans (net of allowance): Commercial and commercial real estate... 2,382,321 2,425,000 2,146,686 2,210,000 Consumer................................ 4,119,364 4,182,000 3,784,988 3,980,000 ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- 6,501,685 6,607,000 5,931,674 6,190,000 Financial liabilities Deposits: Demand, NOW, savings, and money market deposit accounts............... $7,729,339 $7,729,339 $7,749,919 $7,749,919 Consumer time........................... 1,095,357 1,087,000 993,945 1,003,000 Time -- $100,000 or more................ 175,663 175,663 34,957 34,957 Federal funds purchased and other short-term borrowings................. 849,517 849,517 507,820 507,820 Long-term debt.......................... 51,154 51,000 54,488 54,000 NOTE 17.
