                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1: SECURITIES
     The Corporation adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" at
January 1, 1994, which requires that debt and equity securities held: (i) to
maturity be classified as such and reported at amortized cost; (ii) for current
resale be classified as trading securities and reported at fair value, with
unrealized gains and losses included in current earnings; and (iii) for any
other purpose be classified as securities available for sale and reported at
fair value, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from current earnings and
reported as a separate component of stockholders' equity. The adoption of
Statement 115 had no impact on net income.
     The following table summarizes the effect of this standard on stockholders'
equity:


                                                                                                       JANUARY 1,    JUNE 30,

NOTE 2: OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK AND CARRYING AMOUNTS AND FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL
INSTRUMENTS
     Information related to off-balance sheet risk as of June 30, 1994 is
included in Tables 20 through 22 of the Corporation's Second Quarter Financial
Supplement on pages T-18 through T-21.
     At June 30, 1994, the net fair value of the Corporation's recorded net
financial assets subject to valuation in accordance with Financial Accounting
Standard No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,"
increased 14 percent from year-end 1993 as a result of an increase in the net
financial assets subject to such valuation and decreased 17 percent as a result
of an increase in interest rates from year-end 1993, which reduced the fair
value of the Corporation's securities and loan portfolios.
     Information related to off-balance sheet risk and the impact of changes in
interest rates should be read in conjunction with the "Interest Rate Risk
Management" section of the Corporation's Second Quarter Financial Supplement.
