                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1: LOANS
     The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) has issued Standard No.
114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan," which requires that all
creditors value all specifically reviewed loans for which it is probable that
the creditor will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the terms of
the loan agreement at the present value of expected cash flows, market price of
the loan, if available, or value of the underlying collateral. Expected cash
flows are required to be discounted at the loan's effective interest rate. This
Standard is required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1994.
     The FASB also has issued Standard No. 118, "Accounting by Creditors for
Impairment of a Loan -- Income Recognition and Disclosures," that amends FASB
Standard No. 114 to allow a creditor to use existing methods for recognizing
interest income on an impaired loan and by requiring additional disclosures
about how a creditor recognizes interest income related to impaired loans. This
Standard is to be implemented concurrently with Standard No. 114.
     On January 1, 1995, the provisions of Standards No. 114 and 118 were
adopted. The adoption of the Standards required no increase to the allowance for
loan losses and had no impact on net income in the first six months of 1995. The
impact to historical and current amounts related to in-substance foreclosures
was not material, and accordingly, historical amounts have not been restated.
     When the ultimate collectibility of an impaired loan's principal is in
doubt, wholly or partially, all cash receipts are applied to principal. When
this doubt does not exist, cash receipts are applied under the contractual terms
of the loan agreement first to principal and then to interest income. Once the
recorded principal balance has been reduced to zero, future cash receipts are
applied to interest income, to the extent that any interest has been foregone.
Further cash receipts are recorded as recoveries of any amounts previously
charged off.
     A loan is also considered impaired if its terms are modified in a troubled
debt restructuring after January 1, 1995. For these accruing impaired loans,
cash receipts are typically applied to principal and interest receivable in
accordance with the terms of the restructured loan agreement. Interest income is
recognized on these loans using the accrual method of accounting. As of June 30,
1995, there were no accruing impaired loans.
     At June 30, 1995, impaired loans amounted to $342 million. Included in the
allowance for loan losses is $25 million related to $222 million of impaired
loans. The remainder of the impaired loans are recorded at or below fair value.
     In the first six months of 1995, the average recorded investment in
impaired loans was $353 million and $7 million of interest income was recognized
on loans while they were impaired. All of this income was recognized using a
cash-basis method of accounting.
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, 1995, is
included in Tables 19 through 21 of the Financial Supplement on pages T-16
through T-18.
     At June 30, 1995, 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 25 percent from year-end 1994 as a result of an increase in the net
financial assets subject to such valuation and decreased 10 percent as a result
of changes in interest rates from year-end 1994.
     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 Financial Supplement.
