SUMMARY

    All historical data used in this report has been restated to reflect a
2-for-1 stock split in September 1996.

    Barnett's second quarter earnings rose 13% from a year ago. The company
earned $157.0 million, or $.80 per fully diluted share, in the second quarter of
1997, compared to $139.5 million, or $.71 per share, a year earlier and $145.7
million, or $.78 per share, in the first quarter. 

    For the first six months of 1997, Barnett earned $302.7 million, or $1.58
per share, compared to $287.7 million, or $1.45 per share, a year earlier.

    Second quarter results represented a return on assets of 1.44% and a return
on shareholders' equity of 18.08%, up from last year's second quarter results of
1.36% and 16.92%, respectively.

    Second quarter revenue rose 8% from a year earlier and 6% from the first
quarter to $729.5 million, driven by strong growth in consumer credit.
Taxable-equivalent net interest income was $458.9 million compared to $480.3
million a year earlier and $474.0 million in the first quarter. This category
included for the first time the interest expense associated with Barnett's
automobile leasing subsidiary, Oxford Resources Corp. ("Oxford"), acquired April
1. The decrease from last year's second quarter also reflects the impact of the
transfer of the company's mortgage servicing operation to a joint venture,
HomeSide Lending, Inc. ("HomeSide"), and the sale of $776 million of non-core
credit card receivables to Household Credit Services, Inc. ("Household"), as
part of its strategic alliance.

    Non-interest income rose 39% from a year earlier and 25% from the first
quarter to $270.6 million. These increases reflect the addition of Oxford lease
revenue and significant growth in consumer finance income. Non-interest income
now comprises 37% of the company's revenue, up from 29% a year ago, consistent
with the company's continuing objective to diversify the earnings stream.

    Non-interest expense increased 8% from last year and 4% over the first
quarter to $433.0 million, primarily reflecting the addition of expenses
associated with Oxford and the company's continued investment in strategic
initiatives designed to increase future revenue. Barnett's second quarter
overhead ratio was 59.4%, down slightly from a year earlier and from the first
quarter.

    The provision for loan losses fell 8% from last year, but increased 14%
from the first quarter, to $36.2 million. At June 30, the reserve for loan
losses stood at $482 million and represented 1.56% of period-end loans and 275%
of non-performing loans. Net charge-offs of $36.0 million were 9% below a year
earlier, but rose $4.3 million from the first quarter. Second quarter net
charge-offs represented an annualized .46% of average loans compared to .52% a
year earlier and .42% in the first quarter. Non-performing assets of $227
million on June 30 represented .73% of gross loans plus real estate held for
sale. 

    On April 1, the company completed its acquisition of Oxford, the nation's
largest independent automobile leasing company. This transaction extended the
company's vehicle finance activities geographically and into new product lines.
Oxford, which originated approximately $1 billion in loans and leases in 1996,
adds 2,000 new automobile dealer relationships in 21 states and provides new
lease products that can be sold through Barnett's existing vehicle finance
channels. The full quarter's impact of Oxford's operations is reflected in the
second quarter results. Oxford's primary revenue is rental income from leased
automobiles and is expressed as net rental income (gross rental income less
depreciation) within non-interest income. Interest expense associated with
funding Oxford's leasing activity is included as a part of Barnett's net
interest income. 


    In June, Barnett agreed to acquire the Florida franchise of First of
America Bank Corporation for $160 million in cash. The Florida franchise, which
consists of $931 million of deposits and $749 million of loans, is located
principally in the fast-growing southwest portion of the state. The transaction
is expected to close in 1997.

EARNING ASSETS 

    Loans. Average loans grew 3%, or $791 million, from a year earlier and at 
an annualized rate of 8%, or $629 million, from the first quarter to $31.2 
billion. These increases reflect growth in commercial and installment loan 
balances, partially offset by declines in residential and commercial mortgage 
outstandings. The increase from the second quarter of 1996 was also partially 
offset by the sale of credit card accounts to Household.

    Installment loans rose $1.6 billion, or 17%, from the same period last 
year and $504 million, or an annualized growth rate of 18%, from the first 
quarter to $11.4 billion. The expansion of indirect automobile lending (loans 
made through dealers to consumers purchasing cars) to new markets and 
increased home equity loans originated through the EquiCredit franchise were 
the principal factors in the growth of the installment loan portfolio. The 
volume of automobile loans, the largest component of installment loans, is 
dependent upon new and used automobile sales, which can vary depending on 
economic conditions and other factors.

    Residential mortgage loans fell 6%, or $630 million, from last year and 
$53 million from the first quarter to $9.7 billion. These reductions reflect 
management's decision to utilize the liquidity from amortizing residential 
mortgages to fund growth in loan categories with higher risk-adjusted rates 
of return. Also contributing to the decline from last year was the sale of 
the company's pipeline of mortgage loans held for sale to HomeSide. 

    At the end of the second quarter, 77% of the residential loan portfolio 
consisted of adjustable-rate mortgages. Most of these mortgages reprice 
annually based on a spread over the one-year Constant Maturity Treasury 
index. This repricing is limited by annual and lifetime caps. 

    Commercial loans grew 12% from last year and at an annualized rate of 8% 
from the first quarter to $5.5 billion. Commercial real estate loans 
decreased 11% from a year earlier and $81 million from the first quarter to 
$2.6 billion.

(1) Management adjustments reflect the company's estimates of the effects of 
early principal repayments on residential and other amortizing loans and 
securities and the anticipated repricing sensitivity of non-maturity deposit 
products. Historically, balances on non-maturity deposit accounts have 
remained relatively stable despite changes in market interest rates. 
Management has classified certain of these accounts as non-rate sensitive 
based on management's historical pricing practices and runoff experience. 
Approximately 63% of the NOW and money market account balances and 78% of the 
savings account balances are classified as over one year.

(2) In 1997, management changed certain assumptions used to estimate the 
anticipated repricing sensitivity of non-maturity deposit products considered 
to be non-rate sensitive. Prior year amounts have been restated to give 
effect to the change.

    Bank card outstandings fell 31%, or $548 million, from last year, but 
increased $117 million from the first quarter to $1.2 billion. The reduction 
from last year reflects the sale of $776 million in non-core credit card 
outstandings during the fourth quarter of 1996 to Household. The growth from 
the first quarter primarily reflects the purchase of Household's $148 million 
Florida/Georgia credit card portfolio, partially offset by seasonal declines 
in balances.

    Investment Securities and Other Earning Assets. The company's $5.0 billion
securities portfolio, with an average life of 2.26 years, consists primarily of
AAA or equivalently rated securities. U.S. Treasury securities comprised 41% of
the portfolio at June 30. Average securities fell $327 million, or 6%, from the
same period last year and $140 million from last quarter, reflecting the use of
proceeds from maturing securities to fund growth in higher yielding earning
assets.

    At June 30, the available-for-sale securities portfolio had a $10 million
pre-tax unrealized loss compared to a $4 million pre-tax unrealized loss at June
30, 1996 and a $21 million pre-tax unrealized loss at March 31, 1997. These
unrealized losses do not impact net income or regulatory capital but are
recorded as adjustments to shareholders' equity on an after-tax basis. The
adjustments to shareholders' equity at June 30, 1997 also include a $12 million
pre-tax unrealized loss on certain servicing assets associated with the
company's consumer finance franchise which resulted from the company's adoption
of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 125, "Accounting for
Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities"
on January 1, 1997.

    Federal funds sold and securities purchased under agreements to resell fell
$382 million from the same period last year and $274 million from the first
quarter as proceeds from maturities were used to fund growth in higher yielding
earning assets.

DEPOSITS AND OTHER FUNDING SOURCES

    Deposits. Average deposits of $33.1 billion were 1%, or $403 million, lower
than a year ago and $55 million below the first quarter. Transaction, money
market and savings account balances dropped $232 million from a year ago and $51
million from the first quarter. The decrease from last year was primarily due to
the transfer of mortgage escrow deposits to HomeSide during the second quarter
of 1996. CD and other time deposit balances fell $171 million from a year ago
and slightly during the quarter.

    Other Funding Sources. Average federal funds purchased, securities sold
under agreements to repurchase and other short-term borrowings increased $956
million from the same period last year and $1.1 billion during the quarter to
$3.2 billion, primarily reflecting increased funding requirements associated
with Oxford and the consumer lending business. Long-term debt increased $706
million from the same period last year and $713 million from the first quarter,
reflecting the addition of Oxford long-term debt.

    The company issues commercial paper to fund certain consumer lending
activities. As of June 30, Barnett's commercial paper outstandings totaled $265
million compared to $871 million as of June 30, 1996 and $50 million as of March
31, 1997.

rate changes.

assets and liabilities contained on the company's balance sheet. The impact
of changes in interest rates on the company's net interest income represents
Barnett's level of interest rate risk.

    Interest rate sensitivity is primarily a function of the repricing
structure of the company's balance sheet. Table 2 on page 5 shows this structure
as of June 30, with each maturity interval referring to the earliest repricing
opportunity (i.e., the earlier of scheduled contractual maturity or repricing
date) for each asset and liability category. The resulting gap is one measure of
the sensitivity of earnings to changes in interest rates.

    In order to more appropriately reflect the repricing structure of the
company's balance sheet, management has made certain adjustments to the balances
shown in the table based on historical and industry data. An estimate of the
expected prepayments of amortizing loans and investment securities is reflected
in the balances in the table. Changes in the economic and interest rate
environments may impact these expected prepayments.

    Similarly, an adjustment to deposits is made to reflect the behavioral
characteristics of certain core deposits that do not have specified maturities
(i.e., interest-bearing checking, savings and money market deposit accounts).
The footnote accompanying the table more fully explains the specific adjustments
made to the analysis. This interest rate sensitivity analysis indicates that the
company was liability sensitive on June 30, with a cumulative six-month negative
gap of 1.78%.

    In addition to gap analysis, management uses rate-shock simulation and
duration of equity analysis to measure the rate sensitivity of its balance
sheet. Rate-shock simulation is a modeling technique used to estimate the impact
of changes in rates on the company's net interest margin. Duration of equity
measures the change in the market value of the company's equity resulting from a
change in interest rates. It is designed to evaluate the economic impact of rate
changes for periods that extend beyond the time horizons targeted by gap and
rate-shock simulation analyses. These analyses, which consider longer term
impacts of rate changes, suggest that Barnett is relatively rate neutral. The
company's rate-shock simulation indicates that an instantaneous 100 basis point
change in interest rates would have less than a 2% impact on net interest income
over a twelve-month period. This simulation is based on the company's business
mix, as well as interest rate exposures at a point in time, and includes a
parallel shift of the yield curve. It also requires certain assumptions about
the future pricing of loans and deposits in response to changes in interest
rates. While this simulation is a useful measure of the company's sensitivity to
changing rates, it is not a forecast of future results and is based on many
assumptions, which are impacted by risks and uncertainties and if changed, could
cause a different outcome.

    The primary objective of Barnett's asset-liability management is to
maximize net interest income while maintaining acceptable levels of interest
rate sensitivity. The Asset-Liability Management Committee sets specific
rate-sensitivity limits for the company. The committee monitors and adjusts the
company's exposure to changes in interest rates to achieve predetermined risk
targets that it believes are

consistent with current and expected market conditions. Management strives to 
minimize the negative impact on net interest income caused by changes in 
interest rates. At this time, management believes the company's 
asset-liability mix is sufficiently balanced within a broad range of interest 
rate scenarios to minimize the impact of significant rate movements. 

    Barnett controls its interest rate risk by managing the level and 
duration of certain balance sheet assets and liabilities. The company also 
uses off-balance-sheet instruments (derivatives) to manage its interest rate 
sensitivity position. Barnett ensures that both balance-sheet and 
off-balance-sheet instruments used for asset-liability management purposes 
are consistent with safe and sound banking practices.

    The company's derivatives portfolio used for asset-liability management 
purposes, summarized in Table 3 on page 6, had a notional amount of $4.2 
billion at June 30. This portfolio consisted of $3.9 billion of interest rate 
swaps and $250 million of interest rate floors. The swap portfolio consisted 
of fixed-term, non-amortizing interest rate swaps, which mature through 
September 2002. Most of the company's swaps involve receipt of fixed cash 
flows in exchange for variable (primarily LIBOR-based) cash flows. The 
purpose of the swaps is to convert cash flows from floating-rate loans to 
fixed cash flows. The derivatives reduce the sensitivity of the net interest 
margin to flat or falling interest rates.

    The derivatives portfolio performed as expected during the quarter, as 
the value of instruments designed to protect the company in a declining rate 
environment rose in value due to a modest decline in interest rates during 
the period. The replacement value related to the company's derivatives 
portfolio was a negative $6.3 million compared to a negative $28.6 million on 
the same date last year and a negative $24.6 million on March 31, 1997.

    The derivatives portfolio, including the amortization of deferred gains 
on interest rate floors, increased net interest income in the second quarter 
of 1997 by $6.3 million, representing a 7 basis point increase in the net 
yield on earning assets. The swap portfolio increased second quarter 1996 net 
interest income by $1.0 million, representing a 1 basis point increase in the 
net yield on earning assets.

    Barnett manages the counterparty exposure of its derivatives in a manner 
consistent with the granting of credit. Any exposure is generally measured by 
the market replacement value at any point in time. Barnett utilizes 
collateral exchange agreements with derivatives counterparties in order to 
control the level of credit exposure to these entities.

NET INTEREST INCOME

    Barnett's taxable-equivalent net interest income, which represented 63% 
of second quarter revenues, was $458.9 million, 4% below last year and 3% 
below the first quarter. These decreases were primarily due to incremental 
interest expense associated with funding Oxford's automobiles under operating 
leases. In addition, the decrease from last year's second quarter reflects 
the impact of the HomeSide and Household transactions. Table 4 on page 7 
shows the changes in net interest income by category due to shifts in volume 
and rate.

    The net yield on earning assets of 5.05% was down from 5.30% a year 
earlier and 5.28% in the first quarter. Excluding the effect of Oxford, the 
net yield on earning assets would have increased slightly. 

    The decrease from last year was partially offset by a change in loan mix 
from residential mortgages to higher yielding commercial and installment 
loans. The decrease from last quarter was partially offset by a $215 million 
increase in average earning assets and the positive impact of capital 
securities issued during the fourth quarter of 1996 and the first quarter of 
1997.

NON-INTEREST INCOME

    Non-interest income rose 39% from a year ago and 25% from the first 
quarter to $270.6 million. These increases reflect the addition of Oxford 
revenue and significant growth in consumer finance income. The increase from 
last year was partially offset by lower mortgage banking income and lower 
credit card discounts and fees stemming from the HomeSide and Household 
transactions, respectively.

    Net rental income of $45.5 million reflects a full quarter's results from 
Oxford's operations.

    Consumer finance income of $48.6 million represents revenue generated 
through the company's consumer loan securitization program and related loan 
servicing. Consumer finance income doubled from the same period a year ago 
and rose 17% from the first quarter, reflecting increased loan securitization
volume.

    Mortgage banking income fell $7.1 million from the same period last year

and $4.6 million from the first quarter to $11.7 million. The decrease from 
the second quarter of 1996 primarily reflects the impact of entering into the 
HomeSide venture while first quarter results reflected the impact of 
HomeSide's initial public offering of common stock which provided a $2.1 
million benefit.

    Other service charges and fees rose 19%, or $6.9 million, from last year 
and 14%, or $5.2 million, from last quarter, to $42.9 million, reflecting 
higher retail fees.

    Brokerage income grew 14% from a year ago and 15% from the first quarter 
to $13.4 million, primarily reflecting growth in sales.

    Credit card discounts and fees fell $3.9 million, or 30%, from last 
year's second quarter, reflecting the sale of non-core credit card 
outstandings to Household. Credit card fees rose 7% from the first quarter, 
reflecting increased seasonal transaction volume and the addition of accounts 
purchased from Household.

    Service charges on deposit accounts rose 10%, or $5.7 million, from last 
year and other income rose 36%, or $4.0 million.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE

    Non-interest expense rose 8%, or $32.3 million, from a year ago and 4%, 
or $17.1 million, from the first quarter, primarily reflecting the addition 
of expenses associated with Oxford. Barnett also continued to make 
significant investments in initiatives such as supermarket banking, enhanced 
electronic delivery and sales forces and tools aimed at enhancing the 
company's customer relationships and future revenue. The increase from last 
year was somewhat offset by the impact of the HomeSide venture. The overhead 
ratio improved to 59.4% in the second quarter from the first quarter's 60.3%.

    Salaries and benefits increased $15.4 million from the same period last 
year and $5.2 million from the first quarter. The company had an average of 
21,399 full-time equivalent employees in the second quarter, compared to 
20,539 during the first quarter and 20,288 a year ago. The purchase of Oxford 
added 617 employees this quarter.

    Net occupancy expense increased $4.3 million from last year and $5.1 
million from the first quarter. Furniture and equipment expense increased 
$2.9 million from last year and $1.1 million from last quarter. Other expense 
increased $9.7 million from last year and $5.7 million from the first 
quarter. The increase from the first quarter primarily reflects the addition 
of expenses associated with Oxford. The increase from last year also reflects 
increased marketing and technology expenses for strategic initiatives, 
partially offset by the impact of HomeSide. Other expense for the past six 
quarters is shown in Table 5.

    Barnett has established a company-wide task force to review all 
computer-based systems and applications and to develop a company-wide 
preparation and action plan for the century date change for the year 2000. 
Barnett's goal is to have all systems and applications compliant with the 
century change by December 31, 1998. Preliminary cost estimates have not been 
finalized, but remediation efforts will be expensed. Barnett could possibly 
be affected by the century change to the extent other entities not affiliated 
with the company are unsuccessful in addressing this issue.

ASSET QUALITY

    Risk Elements. As shown in Table 6, non-performing assets were $227 
million on June 30, or .73% of outstandings. By comparison, non-performing 
assets stood at $252 million, or .82% of outstandings, on the same date last 
year, and $233 million, or .76% of outstandings, on March 31, 1997. 

    Borrower experience and financial capacity are critical factors in 
underwriting and approving all loan requests. Barnett's commercial real 
estate loan policies generally require a maximum loan-to-value ratio of 75%.

    Barnett has reduced its exposure to commercial real estate from a high of 
28% of loans in 1988 to 8%. The commercial loan portfolio, representing 18% 
of total loans, is not concentrated in any single industry but reflects the 
broad-based economies in Florida and southern Georgia.

    Barnett's residential loans generally are secured by 1-4 family homes, 
conform to federal agency underwriting standards and have a maximum 
loan-to-value ratio of 80% unless they are protected by mortgage insurance.

    At June 30, 4.55% of residential loans were 30 days or more past due 
compared to 4.36% a year earlier and 4.43% at March 31, 1997. At the end of 
the second quarter, 1.21% of residential loans were non-performing compared 
to 1.04% a year earlier and 1.27% on March 31, 1997. The loss ratio in this 
portfolio was 7 basis points in the second quarter.

</TABLE>

    At June 30, the percentage of installment loans 30 days or more past due
was 1.28% compared to 1.08% a year earlier and 1.25% at March 31. Barnett's
installment loan portfolio consists primarily of loans secured by new and used
automobiles (62%), home equity loans (20%), government-guaranteed student loans
(14%) and other secured loans (2%). The remaining 2% of installment loans are
unsecured.

    At June 30, the percentage of bank card outstandings 30 days or more past
due was 3.35%, up from 3.05% in the first quarter but down from 3.48% a year
earlier.

    Net Charge-Offs. As shown in Table 7, net charge-offs declined 9% from a
year earlier to $36.0 million due to reduced losses on credit card loans. Net
charge-offs rose $4.3 million from the first quarter, reflecting increased
credit card and commercial charge-offs offset by reduced installment loan
losses. Bank card net charge-offs were $15.2 million lower than the same period
last year, as a result of the sale of $776 million of non-core credit card
receivables, but were $6.3 million higher than the first quarter. Credit card
charge-offs represented 4.36% of outstandings. 

    Commercial loan net charge-offs were up by $2.8 million from the first
quarter while installment loan net charge-offs were down $5.1 million. Total net
charge-offs in the second quarter represented an annualized .46% of average
outstandings, compared to .42% in the first quarter and .52% for the same period
last year.

    Provision/Allowance for Loan Losses. Barnett's provision expense in the
second quarter was $36.2 million, compared to $39.4 million in last year's
second quarter and $31.8 million in the first quarter.

    At June 30, the allowance for loan losses stood at $482 million, or 1.56%
of period-end loans. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to
non-performing loans rose to 275% at June 30, compared to 263% a year earlier
and 259% in the first quarter. The allowance for loan losses is based on such
factors as the company's mix of loans, historical and expected loss experience
and the overall economic environment. Management considers the allowance
appropriate and adequate to cover potential losses inherent in the loan
portfolio based, in part, on the current composition of the loan portfolio,
credit quality trends and the economic environment.

TAXES

    Barnett's income tax expense in interim reporting periods is determined by
estimating the combined federal and state effective tax rate for the year and
applying this rate to taxable income. The company's effective tax rate for 1997
is expected to be 36% compared with 38% for 1996, primarily due to increased
income exempt from tax.

LIQUIDITY

    For banks, liquidity represents the ability to meet both loan commitments
and deposit withdrawals. Funds to meet these needs can be obtained by converting
liquid assets to cash or by attracting new deposits or other sources of funding.
Many factors affect a bank's ability to meet liquidity needs, including
variations in the markets served, its asset-liability mix, its reputation and
credit standing in the market and general economic conditions.

    In addition to its traditional in-market deposit sources, Barnett has many
other sources of liquidity, including proceeds from maturing securities and
loans, the sale of securities, asset securitization and other non-relationship
funding sources, such as senior or subordinated debt, bank notes, commercial
paper and wholesale purchased funds.

    The high proportion of residential and installment loans on Barnett's
balance sheet provides it with an exceptional amount of contingent liquidity
through the conventional securitization programs that exist today.

    The company has a commercial paper program to provide funding for certain
consumer lending operations. This facility is supported by $760 million in
back-up lines of credit. At June 30,

there was $216 million in borrowings under these lines.

    As of June 30, the company had $1.4 billion in debt and preferred stock
available under existing shelf registrations with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Management believes that the level of liquidity is sufficient to
meet current and future funding requirements.

CAPITAL 

    At June 30, shareholders' equity totaled $3.5 billion. Fully diluted shares
outstanding increased to 196.5 million from 185.6 million in the first quarter,
as the company issued 13.6 million shares of common stock to acquire Oxford.
Barnett declared a $.31 per share dividend for the second quarter, up 15% from
$.27 per share declared last quarter, representing a quarterly dividend payout
ratio of 39%.

    In the fourth quarter of 1996 and the first quarter of 1997, the company
established statutory business trusts for the sole purpose of issuing capital
securities and investing the proceeds in the company's junior subordinated
debentures. The parent company issued two fixed-rate junior subordinated
debentures totaling $500 million to the trusts and one floating-rate junior
subordinated debenture totaling $250 million. The trust preferred securities are
reflected in the consolidated financial statements as minority interest and
included in Tier I capital for the risk-based capital ratio and leverage ratio
calculations.

    The company is subject to risk-based capital guidelines that measure
capital relative to risk-weighted assets and off-balance-sheet financial
instruments. Capital guidelines issued by the Federal Reserve Board require bank
holding companies to have a minimum total risk-based capital ratio of 8%, with
at least half of total capital in the form of Tier I capital.

    As Table 8 shows, Barnett exceeded these capital guidelines on June 30,
with a Tier I capital ratio of 9.33% and a total risk-based capital ratio of
12.22%.

    In addition, a leverage ratio is used in connection with the risk-based
capital standards and is defined as Tier I capital divided by average assets for
the most recent quarter. The minimum leverage ratio under this standard is 3%
for the highest-rated bank holding companies which are not undertaking
significant expansion programs. An additional 1% to 2% may be required for other
companies, depending upon their regulatory ratings and expansion plans. On June
30, 1997, Barnett's leverage ratio was 7.56%, up 89 basis points from a year
earlier.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


In September 1996, Barnett completed a 2-for-1 stock split. All historical 
data in this report has been restated to reflect the split.

A. General

  The accounting and reporting policies of Barnett Banks, Inc. and its 
subsidiaries conform to generally accepted accounting principles and to 
predominant practices within the banking industry. Except as noted below, the 
company has not changed its accounting and reporting policies from those 
disclosed in its 1996 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

  On January 1, 1997, the company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting 
Standards (SFAS) No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of 
Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities." This Statement 
establishes new ground rules for determining whether a transfer of financial 
assets constitutes a sale and, if so, the determination of any resulting gain 
or loss. This statement requires that an enterprise recognize only assets it 
controls and liabilities it has incurred, to remove assets only when control 
has been surrendered and to remove liabilities only when they have been 
extinguished. The adoption of SFAS No. 125 did not have a material impact on 
the financial position or results of operations of the company.

  The results of operations for the three and six-month periods ended June 
30, 1997 may not be indicative of operating results for the year ending 
December 31, 1997. Certain prior year and prior quarter amounts have been 
reclassified to conform to current classifications.

  On April 1, 1997, the company acquired all of the outstanding common stock 
of Oxford Resources Corp., the nation's largest independent automobile 
leasing company for 13.6 million shares of company common stock. The 
acquisition was accounted for as a purchase transaction, and, accordingly, 
the results of operations of Oxford are included from the date of purchase. 
The primary asset of Oxford was automobiles under operating leases of $1.6 
billion. The company enters into or purchases leases on new and used 
automobiles from automobile dealers. All of the leases which are entered into 
are accounted for as operating leases. At the inception of the lease, no 
revenue is recognized and the leased vehicle, together with the initial 
direct costs of originating the lease, which are capitalized, appear on the 
statements of financial condition as "Assets Under Operating Leases." The 
capitalized cost of each vehicle is depreciated over the lease term on a 
straight line basis down to the company's original estimate of the projected 
value of the vehicle at the end of the scheduled lease term. Income from 
Oxford's automobile leasing program is included in the statements of income 
as net rental income and is presented net of related depreciation. The 
purchase price in excess of the fair value of net assets acquired was $515 
million and may change as certain estimates are finalized.

  In the opinion of the company's management, all adjustments necessary to 
fairly present the financial position as of June 30, 1997 and 1996, and the 
results of operations and cash flows for the periods then ended, all of which 
are of a normal and recurring nature, have been included.

  In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 
128, "Earnings Per Share" which, when adopted, will replace the current 
methodology for calculating and presenting earnings per share. Under SFAS No. 
128, primary and fully diluted earnings per share will be replaced with the 
presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per 
share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to 
common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares 
outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed similarly 
to fully diluted earnings per share. The Statement will be effective for the 
company's December 31, 1997 consolidated financial statements.
