NOTE 7. INCOME TAXES

     Applicable income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 1996, were $39.8
million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 33.3%. Applicable income taxes
for the same period in 1995 were $34.3 million, resulting in an effective tax
rate of 32.2%. The tax expense (benefit) applicable to investment securities
gains (losses) for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 was $25,598 and
($429,000), respectively. The increase in the effective rate for the second
quarter of 1996, as compared to the same period in 1995, is due primarily to
the increase in taxable earnings for the period.

     At June 30, 1996, the Corporation had a net deferred tax asset of $51.7
million compared to $39.1 million at December 31, 1995. The net deferred tax
asset for the two periods included a deferred tax liability related to the net
unrealized gain on available for sale securities of $1.6 million and $13.4
million, respectively, which accounted for most of the change in the net
deferred tax asset. Management continues to believe that, based upon historical
earnings, normal operations will continue to generate sufficient taxable income
to realize the portion of the deferred tax asset that is dependent upon the
generation of future taxable income.

NOTE 8. FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK ADVANCES AND LONG-TERM DEBT

FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK (FHLB) ADVANCES

     Certain of the Corporation's banking and thrift subsidiaries had
outstanding obligations to the FHLB aggregating $258.3 million at June 30, 1996
under Blanket Agreements for Advances and Security Agreements (the
"Agreements"). The Agreements entitle these subsidiaries to borrow funds from
the FHLB to fund mortgage loan programs and to satisfy certain other funding
needs. Of the amounts outstanding at June 30, 1996, $186.0 million were at
variable rates and $72.3 million were at fixed rates with interest rates
ranging from 3.25% to 9.0% and maturities ranging from three months to 29
years. At June 30, 1996, FHLB advances that have remaining maturities within
one year, one to five years, and after five years were $66.7 million, $152.7
million, and $38.9 million, respectively. The value of the mortgage-backed
securities and mortgage loans pledged under the Agreements generally must be
maintained at not less than 115% and 150%, respectively, of the advances
outstanding. At June 30, 1996, the Corporation had an adequate amount of
mortgage-backed securities and loans to satisfy the collateral requirements.

     On April 30, 1996, all of the Series B Preferred Stock was converted into
339,765 shares of the Corporation's Common Stock.

NOTE 10.   CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

     The Corporation and/or various subsidiaries are parties to certain pending
or threatened civil actions which are described in Item 3, Part I of the
Corporation's 1995 10-K, in Note 19 to the Corporation's consolidated financial
statements found on pages 62 and 63 of the 1995 Annual Report to Shareholders
(1995 Annual Report), which is Exhibit 13 to the Corporation's 1995 10-K, and
in Note 10 of the Corporation's quarterly report on Form 10-Q dated March 31,
1996. Various other legal proceedings pending against the Corporation and/or
its subsidiaries have arisen in the ordinary course of business.

     Based upon present information, including evaluations of certain actions
by outside counsel, management believes that neither the Corporation's
financial position, results of operations, nor liquidity will be materially
affected by the ultimate resolution of pending or threatened legal proceedings.
There were no significant developments in any of the pending or threatened
actions which affected such opinions during the second quarter of 1996.


ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     The following provides a narrative discussion and analysis of significant
changes in the Corporation's results of operations and financial condition.
This discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements and related financial analysis set forth in the Corporation's 1995
Annual Report, the Corporation's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q dated March 31,
1996, the Corporation's interim unaudited financial statements and notes for
the three and six months ended June 30, 1996, included in Part I hereof, and
the other supplemental financial data included in this discussion.

     Certain of the information included in this discussion contains
forward-looking statements and information that are based on management's
belief as well as certain assumptions made by, and information currently
available to management. When used in this discussion, the words "anticipate,"
"project," "expect," and similar expressions are intended to identify
forward-looking statements. Although management of the Corporation believes
that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are
reasonable, it can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to have
been correct. Such statements are subject to certain risks, uncertainties, and
assumptions. Should one or more of these risks materialize, or should such
underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may vary
materially from those anticipated, estimated, projected or expected. Among key
factors that may have a direct bearing on the Corporation's operating results
(particularly described in, but not limited to, the discussions under the
headings "Earnings Considerations Related to Pending Acquisitions" and "Special
Regulatory Assessment") are fluctuations in the economy; the actions taken by
the Federal Reserve for the purpose of managing the economy; the Corporation's
ability to achieve the anticipated cost and savings related to pending
acquisitions; the ability of the Corporation to achieve the anticipated revenue
enhancements; the assimilation of the acquired operations into the
Corporation's culture, including the ability to instill the Corporation's
credit culture and approach to operating efficiencies into the acquired
operations; the continued growth of the markets in which the Corporation
operates consistently with recent historical experience; the absence of
undisclosed material contingencies related to the acquired operations,
including asset quality and litigation contingencies; the enactment of federal
legislation impacting the operations of the Corporation; and the Corporation's
ability to expand into new markets and to maintain profit margins in the face
of pricing pressure.

SECOND QUARTER EARNINGS OVERVIEW

     For the second quarter of 1996, the Corporation reported record earnings
of $40.6 million, or $.80 per fully diluted common share. This represents a 12%
increase compared to net earnings for the same period in 1995 of $36.5 million,
or $.73 per fully diluted common share. Returns on average assets and average
common equity for the second quarter of 1996 were 1.45% and 17.44%,
respectively, which compares to 1.35% and 17.88% for the same period in 1995.

     Net earnings for the six months ended June 30, 1996 were $79.8 million, or
$1.58 per fully diluted common share. This compares to net earnings of $72.1
million, or $1.45 per fully diluted common share, for the same period in 1995.

     The improvement in net earnings for the second quarter of 1996 is
attributable to increases in both net interest income of $6.1 million and
noninterest income of $1.6 million, while noninterest expense decreased $4.5
million. Partially offsetting these items was an increase in the provision for
losses on loans of $5.6 million. The following is a more complete discussion
and analysis of the operating results for the three and six months ended June
30, 1996 compared to the same periods in 1995.


                               EARNINGS ANALYSIS

NET INTEREST INCOME

     Net interest income (FTE) for the second quarter of 1996 was $121.0
million, a 5% increase over the second quarter of 1995 which was $115.0 million
and up 1% from the first quarter of 1996 which was $119.5 million. For the
first half of 1996, net interest income was $240.5 million compared to $228.2
million for the same period in 1995. The improvement is attributable to the
growth of average earning assets, primarily loan and investment securities, and
higher yields on loans, partially offset by a higher level of average
interest-bearing liabilities and higher rates paid on these liabilities.
Reference is made to the Corporation's average balance sheet and analysis of
volume and rate changes which follow this discussion for additional information
regarding the changes in net interest income.

     The net interest margin for the second quarter of 1996 was 4.65% which
compares to 4.60% for the same quarter last year and 4.61% for the first
quarter of 1996. The net interest margin for the first half of 1996 was 4.63%,
five basis points higher than the net interest margin for the same period in
1995. The interest rate spread increased to 3.95% for the second quarter of
1996 from 3.90% for the same period a year ago and compared to 3.91% for the
first quarter of 1996.

     Fully taxable-equivalent interest income for the second quarter of 1996
increased 4% compared to the same period in 1995 and was level with the first
quarter of 1996. The increase for the second quarter of 1996 was due to the
growth of average earning assets, primarily loans and investment securities,
which increased interest income approximately $8.8 million. Partially 
offsetting this increase was a three-basis-point decline in the average yield
on earning assets of approximately $1.0 million. Average loans for the second
quarter of 1996 increased 4% over the same period in 1995 and were level with
the first quarter of 1996.  Investment securities increased 11% for the same
period.  For the quarter, the mix of average earning assets remained constant
with a slight increase in investment securities.

     For the first half of 1996, fully-taxable interest income increased 6%
compared to the same period in 1995. The increase was attributable to growth of
average earning assets, principally loans, which accounted for approximately
$17.9 million of the increase and a 14-basis-point increase in the average
yield on earning assets which accounted for $7.5 million of the change. For the
first half of 1996, the mix of average earning assets remained constant.

</TABLE>

     Interest expense increased 2% in the second quarter of 1996 compared to
the same period in 1995 and decreased 2% from the first quarter of 1996. The
increase in interest expense for the second quarter of 1996 is attributable to
growth of average interest-bearing liabilities which accounted for
approximately $3.5 million of the increase. Partially offsetting this increase
was an eight-basis-point decline in the average rate paid on interest bearing
liabilities, or approximately $1.7 million.

     For the six months ended June 30, 1996, interest expense increased 7%
compared to the same period in 1995.  The increase was due to an increase in
average interest-bearing liabilities which accounted for approximately $7.0
million of the increase and a 13-basis-point increase in the average rate paid
on these liabilities which accounted for approximately $6.1 million of the
increase.  Most of the increase in the level of interest-bearing liabilities
related to interest-bearing deposits.

     The Corporation's interest-rate swaps decreased net interest income for
the three and six months ended June 30, 1996 by approximately $135,000 and
$490,000, respectively, compared to a decrease of approximately $668,000 and
$1.2 million, respectively, for the same periods in 1995. During the second
quarter of 1996, all of the Corporation's interest-rate swaps matured.

PROVISION FOR LOSSES ON LOANS

     The provision for losses on loans for the second quarter of 1996 was $7.9
million, or .44% of average loans on an annualized basis, compared to $2.3
million, or .13% of average loans, for the same period in 1995 and $8.0
million, or .45% of average loans, for the first quarter of 1996. For the six
months ended June 30, 1996, the provision for losses on loans was $15.9 million
compared to $4.5 million for the same period in 1995.  The increase in the
provision over 1995 relates primarily to the significant growth of the credit
card portfolio over the past two years in connection with consumer loan
marketing efforts.  Management expects the provision for losses



                                       16

on loans to remain at the current levels for the remainder of 1996; however,
there can be no assurance this will be the case.

NONINTEREST INCOME

     Noninterest income for the second quarter of 1996 was $41.3 million, an
increase of 4% over the same period in 1995, and an increase of 3% compared to
the first quarter of 1996. For the first half of 1996, noninterest income was
$81.5 million compared to $75.7 million for the same period in 1995. The major
components of noninterest income are presented on the face of the statement of
earnings and in Note 6 to the unaudited interim consolidated financial
statements.

     For the second quarter and first half of 1996, noninterest income included
a one-time increase in trust service income of approximately $1.3 million.  The
fees arose from a court award of several years of fees related to a subsidiary
bank which acted as trustee for certain trust accounts that were involved in
litigation which has now been resolved. These fees were the primary reason for
the increase in noninterest income for the second quarter of 1996 compared to
the same period in 1995 and the first quarter of 1996.

     For the first half of 1996, noninterest income increased $4.5 million in
addition to the trust fees described above. The significant items increasing
revenues for the period were earnings from the Corporation's 29% limited
partnership investment in VSIBG of $1.3 million, increased revenues from the
Corporation's mortgage origination and servicing operations of $1.8 million,
brokerage fee income from the Corporation's discount brokerage operations of
$696,000, commissions from the sales of annuities of $699,000, and bank card
income of $516,000. Partially offsetting these items were declines in profits
and commissions from the Corporation's SBA trading operations which decreased
$1.3 million for the first half of 1996 ($2.2 million for the second quarter of
1996) compared to 1995 due to unfavorable market conditions and service charges
on deposit accounts which decreased $1.7 million.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE

     Noninterest expense for the second quarter of 1996 decreased $4.5 million
to $89.2 million which compares to $93.7 million for the second quarter of 1995
and was level with the first quarter of 1996. The major components of
noninterest expense are detailed on the face of the statement of earnings and
in Note 6 to the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements.

     The decrease in noninterest expenses for the second quarter of 1996 and
the first half of the year compared to the same periods in 1995 relates to
decreases in FDIC insurance assessments of $4.2 million and $8.0 million,
respectively. The decline in assessments relates to lower assessments for Bank
Insurance Fund (BIF) deposits.  The majority of the current assessment relates
to Savings Association Insurance Fund (SAIF) deposits which should remain at
the current level for the remainder of 1996.  See the discussion below
regarding "Special Regulatory Assessments."

     Salaries and employee benefits expense, the largest component of
noninterest expense, decreased $770,000 and $599,000, respectively, for the
three and six months ended June 30, 1996 compared to 1995.  The lack of growth
relates primarily to the reduction in the number of employees as a result of
the Corporation's 1994 restructuring plan.  The reductions achieved have been
partially offset by acquisitions, and the growth of certain operations.  At
June 30, 1996, the Corporation had 5,075 full-time-equivalent employees
compared to 5,287 at June 30, 1995 and 5,107 at March 31, 1996.

EARNINGS CONSIDERATIONS RELATED TO PENDING ACQUISITIONS

     It is expected that the Corporation or the institutions acquired by it
(Note 2 to the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements) will incur
charges arising from such acquisitions and from the assimilation of those
institutions into the Corporation's organization. The majority of the charges
are expected to relate to the Leader Financial Corporation (Leader Federal)
acquisition. Anticipated charges would normally arise from charges such as, but
not limited to, legal and accounting fees, financial advisory fees, consulting
fees, payment of contractual benefits triggered by a change of control, early
retirement and involuntary separation and related benefits, costs associated
with elimination of duplicate facilities and branch consolidations, data
processing charges, cancellation of vendor contracts, the potential for
additional provisions for losses on loans and similar costs which normally
arise from the consolidation of operational activities.



                                       17
<PAGE>   18
     Aggregate charges expected to arise from the Corporation's six pending
acquisitions have been preliminarily estimated to be in the range of $17
million to $22 million after taxes, which does not include a potential
after-tax charge of approximately $6.0 million for the recapture of Leader
Federal's thrift bad debt reserve which, under existing law, would be triggered
by the merger of Leader Federal Bank for Savings into the Corporation's
principal subsidiary, Union Planters National Bank (UPNB), and certain other
banking subsidiaries. Legislation passed by both the House and Senate on August
2, 1996 and awaiting signature by the President of the United States as of
August 8, 1996 would substantially decrease the federal income taxes associated
with a recapture of a thrift institution's bad debt reserve. There is no
assurance that such pending legislation will be signed into law by the
President. Should the President veto the bad debt legislation, the Corporation
may still merge Leader Federal Bank for Savings into UPNB, thereby triggering a
recapture of Leader Federal Bank for Savings' bad debt reserve and incurring an
expense of approximately $6.0 million, should it be determined that the cost
savings associated with the consolidation of Leader Federal Bank for Savings'
and UPNB's banking operations would exceed the tax expense. The Corporation is
unable to predict if or when such bad debt reserve recapture legislation will
be signed into law. In addition, the range of potential charges set forth above
does not take into account any potential assessments for recapitalization of
the SAIF Insurance Fund discussed below. To the extent that the Corporation's
recognition of these acquisition-related charges is contingent upon
consummation of a particular transaction, those charges would be recognized in
the period in which such transaction closes. This range of potential charges is
based on currently available information as well as preliminary estimates and
is subject to change. The range is provided as a preliminary estimate of the
significant charges which may in the aggregate be required and should be viewed
accordingly.

SPECIAL REGULATORY ASSESSMENT

     The Corporation's 1995 Annual Report, on page 10, provides a discussion of
several bills that were under consideration by the Congress which would have
resulted in a one-time assessment. The purpose of the legislation is to provide
additional financing for the SAIF Insurance Fund and to provide for interest
payments on the Financing Corporation (FICO) bonds issued in connection with
earlier Congressional efforts to support the then failing thrift industry.  The
proposals are under strong criticism from the banking industry and, as of July
31, 1996, the proposed legislation had not passed and, based on currently
available information, management does not expect it to pass in 1996.  The
Corporation does expect some form of legislation to be passed in the near
future relative to the recapitalization of the SAIF Insurance Fund.

     A common feature of these proposals is a one-time special assessment of
from 70 to 85 basis points on all deposits insured by the SAIF ($0.70 to $0.85
per $100 of covered deposits) (SAIF-Insured Deposits). Not all SAIF-Insured
Deposits will be subject to the assessment at the 70 to 85 basis point level.
Those SAIF-Insured Deposits which have been acquired by banks in so-called
Oakar transactions (Oakar deposits) may be assessed at a lower rate (one
proposal suggests 20% lower.) In addition to the special assessment on
SAIF-Insured Deposits, the proposals also contemplate annual assessments on
deposits which are insured by the BIF (BIF Deposits). The assessment on BIF
Deposits would be for the purpose of paying interest on the FICO bonds until
they mature in 2017. It is unknown at this time what the assessment level will
be on the BIF Deposits, but it is believed the assessment will be approximately
2.4 basis points ($0.024 per $100 of covered deposits). The proposals generally
provide that such assessments will reduce the paying institution's taxable
income.

     At June 30, 1996, the Corporation's banking subsidiaries had approximately
$1.3 billion in SAIF-Insured Deposits, approximately $1.0 billion of which are
Oakar Deposits. Assuming a one-time assessment of $.70 to $.85 per $100 of
SAIF-Insured Deposits, the estimated after tax impact would be approximately
$5.8 million to $7.0 million. The Corporation's pending acquisitions had
SAIF-Insured Deposits totaling approximately $1.8 billion (Leader Federal $1.6
billion and other pending acquisitions $217 million) at June 30, 1996, which
would increase the after tax range of charges approximately $7.7 million to
$9.3 million assuming the acquisitions are consummated.  Should the proposed
legislation be adopted at the levels indicated, the Corporation's subsidiaries
would be required to take significant charges in relation to these special
assessments.

                              FINANCIAL CONDITION

     The Corporation's total assets were $11.4 billion at June 30, 1996
compared to $10.9 billion at June 30, 1995, and $11.3 billion at December 31,
1995. Average assets for both the three and six months ended June 30, 1996 were
$11.3 billion, compared to $10.8 billion for both periods in 1995.

INVESTMENT SECURITIES

     The Corporation's investment securities portfolio of $3.1 billion at June
30, 1996 consisted entirely of available for sale securities which are carried
on the balance sheet at fair value. This compares to investment securities of
$2.8 billion at December 31, 1995. At June 30, 1996, and December 31, 1995,
these securities had net unrealized gains of $4.1 million and $34.7 million,
respectively. Reference is made to Note 5 to the interim financial statements
which provides the composition of the investment portfolio at June 30, 1996 and
December 31, 1995.

     U.S. Treasury and U.S. Government agency obligations represented
approximately 80% of the investment securities portfolio at June 30, 1996. The
Corporation has some credit risk in the investment portfolio; however,
management does not consider that risk to be significant.

     The REMIC and CMO issues in the investment securities portfolio are 96% U.
S. Government agencies issues; the remaining 4% are readily marketable,
collateralized mortgage obligations backed by agency-pooled collateral or
whole-loan collateral. All nonagency issues held are currently rated "AAA" by
either Standard & Poors or Moodys. The REMIC and CMO portions of the investment
securities portfolio include approximately 53% in floating-rate issues, the
majority being indexed to LIBOR or PRIME. Normal practice is to purchase
investment securities at or near par value to reduce risk of premium write-offs
on unexpected prepayments. The limited credit risk in the investment securities
portfolio consists of the holdings of (i) municipal securities; (ii) nonagency
CMOs and mortgage-backed securities; and (iii) corporate stocks, debentures and
mutual funds which accounted for 16%, 1%, and 3%, respectively, of the
investment securities portfolio at June 30, 1996.

     At June 30, 1996, the Corporation had approximately $93 million of
structured notes, which constituted approximately 3% of the investment
securities portfolio. Structured notes have uncertain cash flows which are
driven by interest-rate movements and may expose a company to greater market
risk than traditional medium-term notes. All of the Corporation's investments
of this type are government agency issues (primarily Federal Home Loan Bank and
Federal National Mortgage Association). The structured notes vary in type but
primarily include step-up bonds, floating-rate notes, and index-amortizing
notes. These securities are carried in the Corporation's available for sale
securities portfolio at fair value. The unrealized loss in these securities at
June 30, 1996 was approximately $1.1 million. The market risk associated with
the structured notes is not considered material to the Corporation's financial
position, results of operations, or liquidity and involves no credit risk.

LOANS

     Loans at June 30, 1996 were $7.2 billion compared to $7.0 billion and $7.1
billion at June 30, 1995 and December 31, 1995, respectively. Average loans for
the second quarter of 1996 were $7.2 billion, a 4% increase over the $6.9
billion for the second quarter of 1995. For the first half of 1996, average
loans were $7.2 billion compared to $6.9 billion for the same period in 1995.
Note 3 to the interim financial statements presents the composition of the loan
portfolio. Acquisitions accounted for approximately $180 million of the
increase between the second quarter of 1996 and 1995 and had no impact on the
change between the first quarter and second quarter of 1996.

     The growth of loans between June 30, 1996 and 1995 is attributable to
consumer loans which increased approximately $146 million (approximately $27
million related to credit card loans), loans secured by 1-4 family residential
mortgages which increased approximately $51 million, and real estate
construction loans which increased approximately $26 million.  The growth in
these categories of loans was partially offset by a net decrease in the other
loan categories of approximately $14 million. Growth of residential real estate
loans has slowed due to higher interest rates.  Additionally, credit card loan
growth has been at a slower pace than was the case in 1995 and 1994.  The net
decline in other loans relates primarily to commercial, financial, and
agricultural loans which decreased approximately $32 million between June 30,
1996 and 1995.

     method of accounting and as of January 1 for acquisitions accounted for
     using the pooling of interests method of accounting
(2)  Amounts annualized for June 30, 1996 and 1995


     The allowance at June 30, 1996 was $136.3 million, an increase of $2.8
million over December 31, 1995, and compared to $132.9 million at June 30,
1995. The provision for losses on loans exceeded net charge-offs for the first
half of 1996 by $2.2 million which accounted for most of the increase from
December 31, 1995, while the allowances of banks acquired accounted for the
remainder. Net charge-offs for the second quarter of 1996 were $7.9 million
compared to $5.8 million for the first quarter of 1996 and $6.2 million for the
second quarter of 1995. Management believes that the allowance is sufficient to
absorb estimated losses inherent in the loan portfolio at June 30, 1996.

     Net charge-offs of credit cards for the first half of 1996 were $7.4
million, an increase of $5.4 million over the same period in 1995 which
accounted for most of the increase in net charge-offs. Net charge-offs of these
loans are expected to be in a range of approximately $5.5 to $6.5

in charge-offs are expected.

     The Corporation's asset-quality indicators are currently at acceptable
levels, in management's opinion. Nonperforming assets increased $3.4 million
from December 31, 1995 and $3.3 million from March 31, 1996.  Most of the
increase from December 31, 1995 relates to nonaccrual loans, primarily
commercial, financial, and agricultural loans which increased approximately
$3.3 million and single family residential loans which increased approximately
$2.0 million.  These increases were offset by a decline in other real estate
loans of $1.6 million and by small decreases in restructured loans and other
real estate owned. Loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest
increased $1.2 million over December 31, 1995 and were down slightly from the
first quarter of 1996. The increase relates primarily to credit card loans.  No
significant increases are expected in nonperforming assets in 1996 but there
will likely be a gradual increase as the loan portfolio continues to grow.

POTENTIAL PROBLEM ASSETS

     Potential problem assets consist of assets which are generally secured and
not currently considered nonperforming, but where information about possible
credit problems has caused management to have serious doubts as to the ability
of the borrowers to comply in the future with present repayment terms.
Historically, these assets have been loans that become nonperforming. At June
30, 1996, the Corporation had potential problem assets (all of which were
loans) aggregating $19.4 million.

OFF-BALANCE-SHEET INSTRUMENTS

     As of June 30, 1996, all of the Corporation's interest-rate swaps had

ASSET LIABILITY MANAGEMENT

     The following table presents the Corporation's interest-rate sensitivity
(GAP) analysis at June 30, 1996. The analysis is made as of that point-in-time
and could change significantly on a daily basis. This analysis alone cannot be
relied upon to predict how the Corporation is positioned to react to changing
interest rates. Other factors such as the growth of earning assets, the mix of
earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, the magnitude of the
interest-rate changes, the timing of the repricing of assets and liabilities,
interest-rate spreads, and the asset/liability strategies implemented by
management impact the Corporation's net interest income. This discussion should
be read in connection with the discussion in the 1995 Annual Report on page 16.
At June 30, 1996, the GAP analysis indicated that the Corporation was liability
sensitive with $118 million more liabilities than assets repricing within one
year. At 1% of total assets, this position was within management's guidelines
of 10% of total assets.

     Balance sheet simulation analysis has been conducted at June 30, 1996 to
determine the impact on net interest income for the coming twelve months under
several interest-rate scenarios. One such scenario uses rates at June 30, 1996,
and holds the rates and volumes constant for simulation. When this projection
is subjected to immediate and parallel shifts in interest rates (rate shocks)
of 200 basis points, first rising and then falling, the annual impact on the
Corporation's net interest income was a positive $15.5 million and a negative
$23.2 million pretax, respectively. Another simulation uses a "most likely"
scenario of rates rising 75 basis points gradually over the next twelve months
resulting in a $7.7 million pretax increase in net interest income from the
constant rate/volume projection. The results under these scenarios are within
the Corporation's policy limit of 5% of shareholders' equity.

Management has made the following assumptions in preparing the above analysis:

(1)  Assets and liabilities are generally scheduled according to their
     earliest repricing dates regardless of their contractual maturities.
(2)  Nonaccrual loans are included in the noninterest-bearing category.
(3)  Fixed-rate mortgage loan maturities are estimated based on the currently
     prevailing principal prepayment patterns of comparable mortgage-backed
     securities.
(4)  The scheduled maturities of mortgage-backed securities, including REMICs
     and CMOs, assume principal prepayment of these securities on dates
     estimated by management, relying primarily upon current and consensus
     interest-rate forecasts in conjunction with the latest three-month
     historical prepayment schedules.
(5)  Securities are scheduled according to their call dates when valued at a
     premium to par.
(6)  Money market deposits and savings deposits that have no contractual
     maturities are scheduled according to management's best estimate of their
     repricing in response to changes in market rates. The impact of changes in
     market rates would be expected to vary by product type and market.
(7)  If all money-market, NOW, and savings deposits had been included in the
     0-30 Days category above, the cumulative gap as a percentage of total
     assets would have been negative (20%), (20%), (20%), (17%), (13%), and
     positive 5% and 14%, respectively, for the 0-30 Days, 31-90 Days, 91-180
     Days, 181-365 Days, 1-2 Years, 2-5 Years, and over 5 Years categories at
     June 30, 1996.

LIQUIDITY

     The Corporation's core deposit base is its most important and stable
funding source and consists of deposits from the communities served by the
Corporation. Core deposits, along with available for sale securities and other
marketable earning assets, provide liquidity for the Corporation. The following
table presents an analysis of the Corporation's deposits:

     Average deposits for the second quarter were $9.4 billion, which
represents an increase of $223 million over the same period in 1995, and
relates primarily to deposits of acquired banks.  Compared to the first quarter
of 1996, average deposits decreased approximately $81 million.

     The parent company's current source of liquidity is management fees and
dividends received from subsidiaries, interest on advances to subsidiaries, and
interest on its available for sale investment securities. The number of
financial institutions owned by the Corporation provides a diversified base for
the payment of dividends should one or more of the subsidiaries have capital
needs and be unable to pay dividends to the parent company. At June 30, 1996,
the parent company had cash and cash equivalents totaling $24.2 million. The
parent company's net working capital at June 30, 1996 was $160.7 million. At
July 1, 1996, the parent company could have received dividends from subsidiary
banks of $49 million without prior regulatory approval. The payment of
additional dividends will be dependent on the future earnings of the
Corporation's subsidiary banks.  Management believes that the parent company
has adequate liquidity to meet its cash needs, including the payment of
dividends and servicing of its long-term debt.

SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

     The Corporation's total shareholders' equity increased $41.3 million from
December 31, 1995 to $1.0 billion at June 30, 1996. The increase was due to
retained net earnings of $51.6 million and Common Stock issued in connection
with employee benefit and dividend reinvestment plans of $8.6 million,
partially offset by the net change in the unrealized gain (loss) on available
for sale securities, net of taxes, which reduced shareholders' equity by $18.9
million.

</TABLE>
- --------------------------
(a)  Based on period-end capital and quarterly adjusted average assets.

     At June 30, 1996, total shareholders' equity was 8.86% of total assets and
the leverage ratio was 8.49% compared to 8.57% and 8.09%, respectively, at
December 31, 1995. The improvement in these ratios has resulted primarily from
the Corporation's retained net earnings.

     The following table presents the Corporation's risk-based capital and
capital adequacy ratios. The Corporation's regulatory capital ratios qualify
the Corporation for the "well-capitalized" regulatory classification. The
Corporation's risk-based capital increased from year end due primarily to
retained net earnings. Risk-weighted assets increased during the first half of
1996 as a result of loan growth, since loans are typically 100% risk-weighted,
and also increased as a result of acquisitions during the first quarter.

CAPITAL EXPENDITURES

     During the second quarter of 1996, the Corporation finalized certain plans
related to the facilities of the Corporation once the acquisition of Leader
Federal has been completed (see Note 2 to the interim unaudited consolidated
financial statements).  It has been determined that 14 branches will be
consolidated following the acquisition, certain branch locations will be
renovated, and a 125,000 square foot addition will be made to the Corporation's
existing Administrative Center.  The total costs of these projects are
estimated to be approximately $15 million. These changes are expected to result
in reduced occupancy costs for the combined operations of Leader Federal and
the Corporation because certain existing space will be vacated and the
operation of the new space being constructed is expected to be more cost
efficient than existing locations.  The net cost savings cannot be quantified
precisely at this time.
