                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                         State Street Boston Corporation


NOTE  A  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accounting and reporting policies of State Street Boston Corporation
(``State Street'') and its subsidiaries conform to generally accepted
accounting principles. The significant policies are summarized below.


BASIS OF PRESENTATION: The consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of State Street Boston Corporation and its subsidiaries, including
its principal subsidiary, State Street Bank and Trust Company (``State Street
Bank''). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been
eliminated upon consolidation. The results of operations of businesses purchased
are included from the date of acquisition. State Street's investment in its
50%-owned affiliate, Boston Financial Data Services, Inc., is accounted for by
the equity method. Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified
to conform to the current method of presentation. Where appropriate, number of
shares and per share amounts have been restated to reflect a stock split in
1992 (see Note H). For the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, State Street
has defined cash equivalents as those amounts included in the Statement of
Condition caption, ``Cash and due from banks.''

SECURITIES: Debt securities are held in both the investment and trading account
portfolios. In 1992, State Street modified its accounting policy for debt
securities, classifying a portion of its investment portfolio as available for
sale.

Debt securities for which there exist the ability and intent to hold to maturity
are classified as held for investment and are stated at cost, adjusted for
amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Securities classified as
available for sale are intended to be held for indefinite periods of time, but
not necessarily to maturity. Available-for-sale securities are carried at the
lower of amortized cost or market, with any valuation adjustments reflected in
fee revenue. Securities classified as available for sale are purchased in
connection with State Street's interest-rate risk management and may 
be sold in response to changes in interest rates and other factors. Gains or
losses on securities sold are computed based on identified costs and included
in fee revenue. Trading account assets are held in anticipation of short-term
market movements and for resale to customers. Trading account assets are
carried at market value, and the resulting adjustment is reflected in fee
revenue.

In 1993, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, ``Accounting for
Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities,'' was issued. This statement
requires that available-for-sale securities be reported at fair value, with
unrealized gains and losses, net of taxes, reported in a separate component of
stockholders' equity. State Street will adopt this new statement in 1994.

LOANS AND LEASE FINANCING: Loans are placed on a non-accrual basis when they
become 60 days past due as to either principal or interest, or when in the
opinion of management, full collection of principal or interest is unlikely.
When the loan is placed on non-accrual, the accrual of interest is discontinued,
and previously recorded but unpaid interest is reversed and charged against
current earnings.

Subsidiaries of State Street provide asset-based financing to customers through
a variety of lease arrangements. Direct financing leases are carried at the
aggregate of lease payments receivable plus estimated residual value less
unearned revenue. Revenue on direct financing leases is recognized on a basis
calculated to achieve a constant rate of return on the outstanding net
receivable balance. Leveraged leases are carried net of nonrecourse debt.
Revenue on leveraged leases is recognized on a basis calculated to achieve a
constant rate of return on the outstanding investment in the leases, net of
related deferred tax liabilities, in the years in which the net investment is
positive. Gains and losses on residual values of leased equipment sold are
included in fee revenue.

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES: The adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is
evaluated on a regular basis by management. Factors considered in evaluating
the adequacy of the allowance include previous loss experience, current
economic conditions and their effect on borrowers, and the performance of
individual credits in relation to contract terms. The provision for loan
losses charged to earnings is based upon management's judgment of the amount
necessary to maintain the allowance at a level adequate to absorb probable
losses.

In 1993, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 114, ``Accounting by
Creditors for Impairment of a Loan,'' was issued. This statement addresses how
creditors should establish allowances for credit losses on individual loans
determined to be impaired. State Street plans to adopt this new statement
in 1995, and it is not expected to have a material impact.

PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT: Premises, equipment and leasehold improvements are
carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and
amortization charged to operating expenses are computed using the straight-line
method over the estimated useful life of the related asset or the remaining term
of the lease.

OTHER REAL ESTATE OWNED (OREO): OREO includes properties acquired in
satisfaction of debt and loans considered to be in-substance foreclosures. The
properties are carried at the lower of cost or fair market value and are
included in other assets. Reductions in carrying value are recognized through
charges to other operating expenses. The costs of maintaining and operating
foreclosed properties are expensed as incurred.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION: The assets and liabilities of foreign operations
are translated at month-end exchange rates, and revenue and expenses are
translated at average monthly exchange rates. Gains or losses from the
translation of the net assets of certain foreign subsidiaries, net of foreign
currency hedges and related taxes, are credited or charged to retained earnings.
Gains or losses from other translations are included in fee revenue.

                         State Street Boston Corporation


NOTE  A  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

FOREIGN EXCHANGE TRADING: Foreign exchange trading positions are valued daily,
at prevailing exchange rates, and the resulting gain or loss is included in fee
revenue.

INTEREST-RATE CONTRACTS: State Street uses interest-rate contracts as part of
its overall interest-rate risk management. Gains and losses on interest-rate
futures and option contracts that are designated as hedges and effective as such
are deferred and amortized over the remaining life of the hedged assets or
liabilities as an adjustment to interest revenue or expense. Interest-rate swap
contracts that are entered into as a part of interest-rate management are
accounted for using the accrual method as an adjustment to interest expense.
Interest-rate contracts related to trading activities are adjusted to market
value with the resulting gains or losses included in fee revenue.

INCOME TAXES: The provision for income taxes includes deferred income taxes
arising as a result of reporting some items of revenue and expense in different
years for tax and financial reporting purposes. In 1993, State Street adopted
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, ``Accounting for Income
Taxes,'' which prescribes the liability method of accounting for income taxes.
Prior years, which were accounted for under the deferral method, were not
restated, and the impact of the adoption in 1993 was not material.

EARNINGS PER SHARE: The computation of primary earnings per share is based on
the weighted average number of shares of common stock and common stock
equivalents outstanding during each period. Stock option grants are 
included only in periods when the results are dilutive. The computation of fully
diluted earnings per share additionally includes the assumption that the
convertible debt had been converted as of the beginning of each period, with the
elimination of related interest expense less the income tax benefit.

$486,693,000. This consisted of $28,371,000, $26,832,000, $31,416,000,
$30,054,000 and $26,715,000 for the years 1994 to 1998, respectively, and
$343,305,000 thereafter. The minimum rental commitments have been reduced by
sublease rental commitments of $10,581,000. Substantially all leases include
renewal options.

Total rental expense amounted to $25,641,000, $23,194,000 and $21,535,000 in
1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively. Rental expense has been reduced by sublease
revenue of $2,149,000, $3,515,000 and $879,000 in 1993, 1992 and 1991,
respectively.

NOTE  E  REPURCHASE AND RESALE AGREEMENTS

State Street enters into sales of U.S. Treasury and Federal agency securities
(``U.S. Government securities'') under repurchase agreements, which are treated
as financings, and the obligations to repurchase such securities sold are
reflected as a liability in the Consolidated Statement of Condition. The dollar
amount of U.S. Government securities underlying the repurchase agreements
remains in investment securities.

State Street enters into purchases of U.S. Government securities under
agreements to resell the securities, which are recorded as securities purchased
under resale agreements in the Consolidated Statement of Condition. These
securities can be used as collateral for repurchase agreements. It is State
Street's policy to take possession or control of the security underlying the
resale agreement. The securities are revalued daily to determine if additional
collateral is necessary.

NOTE  F  NOTES PAYABLE

At December 31, 1993, State Street Bank had outstanding $100 million of 5.65%
Bank Notes with a two-year maturity and due April, 1994, and $50 million of
5.30% Bank Notes with a two-year maturity and due June, 1994. The Bank Notes,
which are not subject to redemption, represent unsecured debt obligations of
State Street Bank. The Bank Notes are neither obligations of or guaranteed by

    Total long-term debt                                   $128,939    $145,799

The 5.95% and the 8.50% notes are unsecured obligations of State Street. The
8.50% notes were redeemed in November, 1993, at par.

The 7.75% debentures are convertible to common stock at a price of $5.75 per
share, subject to adjustment for certain events. The debentures are redeemable,
at the option of State Street, at a price of approximately 102.5%, declining
annually to par by 1998. During 1993 and 1992, $2,422,000 and $602,000 of
debentures were converted into 422,716 and 104,677 shares of common stock,
respectively. At December 31, 1993, 682,000 shares of authorized common stock
have been reserved for issuance upon conversion.

The 9.5% mortgage note was fully collaterized by property at December 31, 1993.
The aggregate maturities of this mortgage note for the years 1994 through 1998
are $785,000, $863,000, $948,000, $1,042,000 and $1,146,000, respectively. The
10.13% mortgage note was assumed with the purchase of property and matured in
February, 1993.

In August, 1993, a shelf registration statement became effective that allows
State Street to issue up to $250 million of unsecured debt securities. In
September, 1993, State Street issued $100 million of 5.95% Notes due 2003, and
the remaining balance of $150 million at December 31, 1993, is available for
issuance.

NOTE  H  STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

In 1992, State Street distributed a two-for-one stock split in the form of a
100% stock dividend to stockholders. The par value of these additional shares
was capitalized by a transfer from surplus to common stock.

In 1993, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to two million
shares of State Street's common stock. Shares purchased under the authorization,
if any, would be used for employee benefit plans. No purchases were made
through December 31, 1993.

State Street has long-term incentive plans from which stock options, stock
appreciation rights (SARs) and performance shares can be awarded. The exercise
price of non-qualified and incentive stock options may not be less than fair
value of such shares at date of grant and expire no longer than ten years from
date of grant. Performance shares have been granted to officers at the policy-
making level. Performance shares are earned over a performance period based on
achievement of goals. Payment for performance shares is made in cash equal to
the fair market value of the common stock after the conclusion of each
performance period. Compensation expense related to performance shares was
$2,126,000, $8,124,000 and $4,159,000 for 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively.

Under the 1989 Stock Option Plan, options and SARs covering 2,800,000 shares of
common stock may be issued. Under the 1990 Stock Option and Performance Shares
Plan, options and SARs covering 2,000,000 shares of common stock and 2,000,000
performance shares may be issued. State Street has stock options and performance
shares outstanding from previous plans under which no further grants can be
made.
Option activity during 1993 and 1992 was as follows:

2,903,000 shares under options and SARs were available for future grants. During
1991, 884,000 options were exercised at per share prices of $1.46 to $16.38.

NOTE  I  SHAREHOLDERS' RIGHTS PLAN

In 1988, State Street declared a dividend of one preferred share purchase right
for each outstanding share of common stock. In 1992, State Street's common stock
was split two-for-one in the form of a 100% stock dividend to shareholders.
After giving effect to the split, under certain conditions, a right may be
exercised to purchase one two-hundredths share of a series of participating
preferred stock at an exercise price of $75, subject to adjustment. The rights
become exercisable if a party acquires or obtains the right to acquire 20% or
more of State Street's common stock or after commencement or public announcement
of an offer for 20% or more of State Street's common stock. When exercisable,
under certain conditions, each right also entitles the holder thereof to
purchase shares of common stock, of either State Street or of the acquiror,
having a market value of two times the then current exercise price of that
right.

The rights expire in 1998 and may be redeemed at a price of $.005 per right at
any time prior to expiration or the acquisition of 20% of State Street's common
stock. Also, under certain circumstances, the rights may be redeemed after they
become exercisable and may be subject to automatic redemption.

NOTE  J  SALE OF CREDIT CARD LOAN PORTFOLIO

In January, 1991, State Street sold its $431,000,000 credit card loan portfolio
resulting in a pre-tax gain of $56,200,000, which increased net income by
$32,600,000, equal to $.44 primary and $.43 fully diluted per share.

NOTE  N  EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

State Street and its U.S. subsidiaries participate in a noncontributory cash
balance defined benefit plan covering employees based on age and service. The
plan provides individual account accumulations that are increased annually based
on salary, service and interest credits. State Street uses the projected unit
credit method as its actuarial valuation method. It is State Street's funding
policy to contribute annually the maximum amount that can be deducted for
Federal income tax purposes. Employees in non-U.S. offices participate in local
plans, and the cost of these plans is not material.

The following table sets forth the primary plan's funded status, actuarial
assumptions and amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements as
of and for the years ended December 31:

State Street has an unfunded, non-qualified supplemental retirement plan that
provides certain officers with defined pension benefits in excess of limits
imposed by Federal tax law. At December 31, 1993, 1992 and 1991, the projected
benefit obligation of this plan was $2,790,000, $2,174,000 and $1,986,000, and
the related pension expense was $400,000, $430,000 and $95,000, respectively.

Total pension expense (income) for all plans was $2,050,000, $424,000 and
$(3,631,000) for 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively.

Employees of State Street Bank and certain subsidiaries with one or more years
of service are eligible to contribute a portion of their pre-tax salary to a
401(k) Salary Savings Plan. State Street matches a portion of these
contributions, and the related expenses were $5,942,000, $4,796,000 and
$4,153,000 for 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively.

State Street Bank and certain subsidiaries provide health care and life
insurance benefits for retired employees. In 1993, Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 106, ``Employers' Accounting for Postretirement
Benefits Other than Pension,'' was adopted. This statement requires that the
costs associated with providing postretirement benefits be accrued during the
active service periods of the employee, rather than expensing these costs as
paid. State Street has elected to amortize the accumulated postretirement
benefit obligation (APBO), which at the date of adoption was $22,100,000, over a
20-year period. State Street continues to fund medical and life insurance
benefit costs on a pay-as-you go basis. In previous years, the cost of these
benefits was expensed as claims were paid and was not material.

recognized in the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended
December 31, 1993:

(Dollars in thousands)                                                  1993
Accumulated postretirement benefit obligation:

Unrecognized transition obligation                                     (20,968)
Unrecognized net loss                                                   (2,969)
    Accrued postretirement benefit cost                                $ 3,332
Postretirement expense included the following components:
  Service cost-benefits earned during the period                       $ 1,491
  Interest cost on APBO                                                  1,835
  Net amortization and deferral                                          1,104
    Total postretirement expense                                       $ 4,430

The discount rate used in determining the APBO was 7.5% and the assumed health
care cost trend rate used in measuring the APBO was 14% in 1994, declining to
6% by 2005, and remaining at 6% thereafter. If the health care trend rate
assumptions were increased by 1%, the APBO, as of December 31, 1993,
would have increased by 8%, and the aggregate of service and interest cost
for 1993 would have increased by 8%.

NOTE  O  INCOME TAXES

The provision for income taxes includes deferred income taxes arising as a
result of reporting certain items of revenue and expense in different years for
tax and financial reporting purposes. In 1993, State Street adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, ``Accounting for Income Taxes,'' which
prescribes the liability method of accounting for income taxes. The impact of
the adoption in 1993 was not material.
The provision for income taxes included in the Consolidated Statement of Income
consisted of the following:

(Dollars in thousands)                          1993        1992         1991

  State                                         14,931      10,363       2,702
    Total deferred                              41,933      34,783      12,183
    Total income taxes                         $97,626     $96,118     $85,818

Current and deferred taxes for 1991 and 1992 have been reclassified to reflect
the tax returns as actually filed. Income tax benefits of $3,603,000, $5,570,000
and $4,397,000 in 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively, related to certain employee
stock option exercises were recorded directly to stockholders' equity and are
not included in the table above. Income taxes related to net securities gains
were $6,634,000, $5,118,000 and $1,412,000 for 1993, 1992 and 1991,
respectively.

Pre-tax income attributable to operations located outside the United States was
$51,823,000, $34,723,000 and $20,785,000 in 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively.

At December 31, 1993, State Street had non-U.S. carryforward tax losses of
$10,659,000 and U.S. tax credit carryforwards of $11,589,000. If not utilized,
$6,413,000 of the losses will expire in the years 1995-2000. The credits 
and the remaining losses carry over indefinitely.

The provision for deferred income taxes for the years ended December 31, 1992
and December 31, 1991 consisted of the following:

(Dollars in thousands)                                      1992         1991

NOTE  P  OFF-BALANCE SHEET FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

State Street uses various off-balance sheet financial instruments to satisfy the
financing needs of customers, manage interest-rate and currency risk and conduct
trading activities. These instruments generate fee, interest or trading revenue.
Associated with these instruments are market and credit risks that could expose
State Street to potential losses.

Market risk relates to the possibility that financial instruments may change in
value due to future fluctuations in market prices. Credit risk relates to the
possibility that a loss may occur from the failure of another party to perform
according to the terms of a contract. The credit risk associated with off-
balance sheet financial instruments is managed in conjunction with State
Street's balance sheet activities. Historically, the credit losses experienced
with respect to these instruments have been immaterial.

The following is a summary of the contractual or notional amount of State
Street's off-balance sheet financial instruments:

(Dollars in millions)                                           1993      1992

Financial instruments whose contractual amounts represent
  credit risk:
    Loan commitments                                          $ 2,356    $ 1,595
    Standby letters of credit                                     799        471
    Letters of credit                                             140        115
    Indemnified securities lent                                12,432      9,582
Financial instruments whose contractual or notional amount
  exceeds the amount of credit risk:
    Foreign exchange commitments                               36,179     16,737
    Interest-rate contracts:
      Futures                                                     691         72
      Swap agreements                                             158        265

In conjunction with its lending activities, State Street enters into various
commitments to extend credit and issues letters of credit. Loan commitments
(unfunded loans and unused lines of credit), standby letters of credit and
letters of credit are issued to accommodate the financing needs of State
Street's customers. Loan commitments are essentially agreements by State Street
to lend monies at a future date, so long as there are no violations of any
conditions established in the agreement. Standby letters of credit and letters
of credit commit State Street to make payments on behalf of customers when
certain specified events occur.

These loan and letter-of-credit commitments are subject to the same credit
policies and reviews as loans on the balance sheet. Collateral, both the amount
and nature, is obtained based upon management's assessment of the credit risk.
Approximately 70% of the loan commitments expire in one year or less from the
date of issue. Since many of the extensions of credit are expected to expire
without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily
represent future cash requirements.

On behalf of its customers, State Street lends their securities to creditworthy
brokers and other institutions. In certain circumstances, State Street
indemnifies its customers for the fair market value of those securities against
a failure of the borrower to return such securities. State Street requires the
borrowers to provide collateral in an amount equal to or in excess of 102% of
the fair market value of the securities borrowed. The borrowed securities are
revalued daily to determine if additional collateral is necessary. State Street
held as collateral, cash and U.S. Government securities totaling $12.8 billion
and $9.8 billion for indemnified securities at December 31, 1993 and 1992,
respectively.

State Street enters into a variety of foreign exchange and interest-rate
contracts with counterparties that may expose it to currency and interest-rate
risk on behalf of its customers, in managing its own exposure and through
trading activities. Foreign exchange and interest-rate futures contracts are
commitments to buy or sell at a future date a currency or financial instrument
at a contracted price, and may be settled in cash or through delivery of the
contracted instrument. Interest-rate swap agreements involve the exchange of
interest payments, either at a fixed or variable rate, based on a notional
amount without the exchange of the underlying principal amount.

State Street's exposure from these foreign exchange and interest-rate contracts
results from the possibility that one party may default on its contractual
obligation or from movements in exchange or interest rates. The exposure to
credit loss can be estimated by calculating the cost, on a present value basis,
to replace at current market rates all profitable contracts outstanding at year-
end. State Street minimizes its credit risk in this area by performing credit
reviews of its counterparties and by conducting its activities through organized
exchanges. There may be considerable day-to-day variation in exposure because of
changing expectations of future currency values or interest rates. State Street
actively manages its market risk exposure.

NOTE  Q  CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

State Street provides custody, accounting and information services to mutual
fund, master trust/master custody/global custody, corporate trust and defined
contribution plan customers; and investment management services to institutions
and individuals. Assets under custody and management, held by State Street in a
fiduciary or custody capacity, are not included in the Consolidated Statement
of Condition since such items are not assets of State Street. Management
conducts regular reviews of its responsibilities for these services and
considers the results in preparing its financial statements. In the opinion of
management, there are no contingent liabilities at December 31, 1993 that would
have a material adverse effect on State Street's financial position or results
of operations.

State Street is subject to pending and threatened legal actions that arise in
the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, after discussion
with counsel, these can be successfully defended or resolved without a material
adverse effect on State Street's financial position or results of operations.

NOTE  R  CASH, DIVIDEND AND LOAN RESTRICTIONS

During 1993, subsidiary banks of State Street were required by the Federal
Reserve Bank to maintain average reserve balances of $221,941,000.

State Street's principal source of funds for the payment of cash dividends to
stockholders is from dividends paid by State Street Bank. Federal and state
banking regulations place certain restrictions on dividends paid by subsidiary
banks to State Street. At December 31, 1993, State Street Bank had $366,454,000
of retained earnings available for distribution to State Street in the form of
dividends.

The Federal Reserve Act requires that extensions of credit by State Street Bank
to certain affiliates, including State Street, be secured by specific
collateral, that the extension of credit to any one affiliate be limited to
10% of capital and surplus (as defined), and that extensions of credit to all
such affiliates be limited to 20% of capital and surplus.

At December 31, 1993, consolidated retained earnings included $4,847,000 of
undistributed earnings of Boston Financial Data Services, Inc., a 50%-owned
affiliate.

NOTE  S  FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Financial Accounting Standards No. 107 requires the calculation and disclosure
of the fair value of financial instruments.

The short maturity of State Street's assets and liabilities results in having a
significant number of financial instruments whose fair value equals or closely
approximates reported book value. The following methods were used to estimate
the fair value of financial instruments.

For financial instruments that have quoted market prices, those quotes were used
to determine fair value. Financial instruments that have no defined maturity,
have a remaining maturity of 180 days or less, or reprice frequently to a market
rate, are assumed to have a fair value that approximates reported book value,
after taking into consideration any applicable credit risk. If no market quotes
were available, financial instruments were valued by discounting the expected
cash flow(s) using an estimated current market interest rate for the financial
instrument.

Fair value approximates reported book value for the following balance sheet
captions: Cash and due from banks; Interest-bearing deposits with banks;
Securities purchased under resale agreements; Federal funds sold; Deposits;
Federal funds purchased; Securities sold under repurchase agreements; and Other
short-term borrowings.

The reported book value and fair value for other balance sheet captions are as
follows:

                                                1993                1992

NOTE  T  FOREIGN ACTIVITIES

Foreign activities, as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission, are
considered to be those revenue-producing assets and transactions that arise
from customers domiciled outside the United States.

Due to the nature of the Corporation's business, it is not possible to segregate
precisely domestic and foreign activities. The determination of earnings
attributable to foreign activities requires internal allocations for resources
common to foreign and domestic activities. Subjective judgments have been used
to arrive at these operating results for foreign activities. Interest expense
allocations are based on the average cost of short-term domestic borrowed
funds. Allocations for operating expenses and certain administrative costs are
based on services provided and received.

The following data relates to foreign activities, based on the domicile location
of customers, for the years ended and as of December 31:

               REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS


The Stockholders and Board of Directors
State Street Boston Corporation


We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of condition of State
Street Boston Corporation as of December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the related
consolidated statements of income, cash flows and changes in stockholders'
equity for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1993. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Corporation's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the consolidated financial position of State Street
Boston Corporation at December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the consolidated results
of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 1993, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
