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

    Financial Condition

    Total assets at March 31, 1994 were $14.2 billion, an increase of 
    $743.4 million or 5.5 percent from year-end 1993.  Compared to 
    March 31, 1993, total assets increased $398.5 million or 2.9 
    percent.

    On January 1, 1994, the company adopted Statement of Financial 
    Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments 
    in Debt and Equity Securities" (SFAS 115).  This Statement changed 
    the accounting for certain debt and equity securities.  As required 
    by SFAS 115, unrealized holding gains and losses on investment 
    securities available for sale were recorded net of taxes as a 
                                -1-
<PAGE>    
    separate component of shareholders' equity.  This amount was a $3.5 
    million after-tax gain ($6.5 million before taxes).

    At March 31, 1994, investment securities available for sale, 
    reported at fair value, amounted to $1.0 billion.  These securities 
    decreased $161.0 million or 13.9 percent from year-end 1993, and 
    comprised $559.2 million of U.S. Government and agency CMOs and 
    $441.9 million of other securities, principally whole loan CMOs.  
    During the three months of 1994, $3.3 million of investment 
    securities available for sale were sold.  Total maturities were 
    $163.3 million during the three month period.  Compared to March 
    31, 1993, investment securities available for sale increased $288.6 
    million relecting the transfer of securities from the portfolio at
    December 31, 1993 in anticipation of the adoption of SFAS 115
    less maturities and sales which were not reinvested during this period

    Investment securities at March 31, 1994 increased $837.0 million or 
    34.1 percent from year-end 1993.  This growth was funded by 
    paydowns on corporate CMOs and an increase in short-term 
    borrowings.  The increase in the investment portfolio was the 
    result of $1.3 billion in purchases, principally in collateralized 
    mortgage obligations (CMOs), offset by maturities of $419.3 million 
    during the three months of 1994.  Since December 31, 1993, other 
    securities increased $661.7 million as investment strategies were 
    directed toward the purchase of whole loan CMOs.  Compared to March 
    31, 1993 the investment portfolio increased $171.4 million or 5.5 
    percent.

    Total loans increased $124.8 million or 1.5 percent from December 
    31, 1993 to $8.7 billion at March 31, 1994 but were $17.0 million 
    or .2 percent below March 31, 1993.  From December 31, 1993, 
    commercial loans increased $151.1 million or 3.6 percent to $4.4 
    billion at March 31, 1994.  Mortgage loans decreased $34.4 million 
    or 1.4 percent from December 31, 1993 to $2.3 billion at March 31, 
    1994.  Compared to March 31, 1993, mortgage loans increased $24.5 
    million or 1.1%.  Instalment loans increased $8.1 million or .4 
    percent from December 31, 1993 to $2.0 billion.  Compared to March 
    31, 1993 instalment loans decreased $41.4 million or 2.0%.

    At the end of the first quarter of 1994, non-performing loans were 
    $239.9 million, or 2.75 percent of total loans.  This compares to 
    $251.7 million, or 2.92 percent at year-end 1993, and $319.4 
    million, or 3.65 percent at the end of the first quarter of 1993.  
    In the first quarter of 1994, non-performing loans decreased by 
    $11.8 million from the year-end 1993 and were down $79.5 million 
    from March 31, 1993.  This was the eleventh consecutive quarter of 
    decline in non-performing loans since their highest level at June 
    30, 1991 of $483.0 million.

</TABLE>
    At March 31, 1994, other real estate was $69.5 million, net of a 
    $30.2 million allowance.  Since December 31, 1993, other real 
    estate decreased $2.8 million.  Compared to March 31, 1993 these 
    net balances decreased $43.1 million.

    The allowance for loan losses at March 31, 1994 was $239.4 million, 
    or 2.74 percent of loans, compared to $242.1 million, or 2.81 
    percent of loans at December 31, 1993 and $253.1 million or 2.89 
    percent of loans at March 31, 1993.  The allowance for loan losses 
    provides coverage for 99.8 percent of non-performing loans, up from 
    96.2 percent at December 31, 1993 and 79.2 percent a year ago.  For 
    the three months ended March 31, 1994, net charge offs were $21.2 
    million or 1.00 percent of average loans compared to $47.2 million 
    or 2.19 percent during the comparable period in 1993.

    At March 31, 1994 total deposits were $11.4 billion, a decrease of 
    $33.7 million or .3 percent from December 31, 1993 compared to an 
    increase of $47.3 million or .4 percent from a year ago.  Retail 
    savings and time deposits decreased $34.8 million or .4 percent 
    from year-end to $8.4 billion and decreased $435.6 million or 4.9 
    percent from March 31, 1993.  Commercial certificates of deposit 
    $100,000 and over were $244.9 million, an increase of $18.4 million 
    or 8.1 percent compared to December 31, 1993 and increased $27.0 
    million or 12.4 percent compared to March 31, 1993.  Demand 
    deposits decreased $17.3 million or .6 percent from year-end 1993 
    to $2.8 billion but increased $455.8 million or 19.6 percent from 
    March 31, 1993.

    Other borrowed funds increased $691.7 million or 125.9 percent from 
    December 31, 1993 to $1.2 billion.  Compared to March 31, 1993, 
    other borrowed funds increased $257.1 million.  Other borrowed 
    funds increased principally to fund the growth in the investment 
    and loan portfolios since year-end 1993.  At March 31, 1994, 
    long-term debt was $208.7 million, an increase of $.3 million or .1 
    percent from year-end 1993.Compared to March 31, 1993, long-term 
    debt decreased $7.4 million or 3.4 percent.  This decrease reflects 
    the impact of principal paydowns on long term debt.

    Total shareholders' equity increased $23.9 million or 2.5 percent 
    from December 31, 1993 to $1.0 billion.  The adoption of SFAS No. 
    115 accounted for $3.5 million of this increase.  The leverage 
                                -3-
<PAGE>
    ratio of the company was 7.07 percent, unchanged from December 31, 
    1993.  At March 31, 1993, the leverage ratio was 6.82 percent.  
    Under the risk-based capital guidelines, the Company's Tier I 
    capital was 9.15 percent and total capital was 12.13 percent at 
    March 31, 1994, compared with 9.37 percent and 12.43 percent, 
    respectively, at December 31, 1993.  The decline in these ratios 
    reflects the $743.4 million increase in assets since year-end 1993.  
    At March 31, 1993, the Tier I capital ratio was 8.88 percent and 
    total capital was 11.94 percent.  The current minimum regulatory 
    guidelines for Tier I and total capital ratios are 4.0 percent and 
    8.0 percent respectively.

    Results of Operations

    For the first quarter of 1994, net income was $27.4 million or $.52 
    per share compared with net income of $20.3 million or $.39 per 
    share earned during the first quarter of 1993.  The results for the 
    first quarter of 1994 were impacted by the adoption of Statement of 
    Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 112, "Employers' 
    Accounting for Postemployment Benefits", which had the effect of 
    reducing net income by $1.7 million or $.03 per share.  The 1993 
    first quarter results were impacted by the adoption of SFAS 109, 
    "Accounting for Income Taxes".  The adoption of SFAS 109 had a 
    favorable effect on net income of $3.8 million or $.07 per share.

    Interest income on a tax-equivalent basis was $217.6 million for 
    the three months ended March 31, 1994, a decrease of $10.1 million 
    or 4.4 percent compared to the same period in 1993.  The decline in 
    interest income for the three months was primarily due to the lower 
    interest rate environment when compared to the prior year.  
    Partially offsetting this decline were volume increases in 
    investment securities and investment securities available for sale 
    and the benefit of reduced levels of non-performing loans.  
    Interest earning assets averaged $12.8 billion during the first 
    three months of 1994 an increase of $328.7 million or 2.6 percent 
    over the same period in 1993.
    
    Interest expense decreased $15.4 million or 17.7 percent for the 
    three months ended March 31, 1994 compared to the same period in 
    1993.  The benefit of the lower rate environment on the cost of 
    retail time deposits compared to 1993 was the primary factor in the 
    decline in interest expense.  The costs on these deposits decreased 
    $18.9 million or 25.9 percent.  Consumer preference continued to 
    shift out of retail certificates of deposit toward more liquid 
    accounts that are generally lower-yielding.  Offsetting this 
    decrease, interest expense on borrowed funds and commercial 
    certificates of deposit over $100,000 increased $3.3 million and 
    $.3 million, respectively.  These increases were principally due to 
    volume increases.  Total borrowed funds, including commercial paper 
    and long-term debt, increased $338.4 million and commercial 
    certificates of deposit increased $49.8 million on average compared 
    to the prior year period.  Demand deposits averaged $2.8 billion 
    during the three months ended March 31, 1994, an increase of $381.6 
    million or 15.8 percent over the comparable period in 1993.
                                -4-

<PAGE>
    Net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis was $146.1 million 
    for the three months of 1994 compared with $140.8 million for the 
    three months ended March 31, 1993, an increase of $5.3 million or 
    3.7 percent.  The net interest spread percentage on a 
    tax-equivalent basis (the difference between the rate earned on 
    average interest earning assets and the rate paid on average 
    interest bearing liabilities) increased to 4.00 percent for the 
    three months of 1994 compared with 3.93 percent during the 
    corresponding period in 1993.  Additionally, net interest margin 
    (net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis as a percentage of 
    average interest earning assets) increased to 4.65 percent during 
    the three months of 1994 compared with 4.60 percent during the same 
    period in 1993.  The increase in net interest spread and net 
    interest margin reflected the benefit of favorable retail deposit 
    repricing in a declining rate environment, the benefit of reduced 
    levels of non-performing loans and the favorable impact of an 
    increase in demand deposits.

    The provision for loan losses for the quarter ended March 31, 1994 
    was $18.5 million compared to $25.0 million for the same period a 
    year earlier.  This reduction in the provision for loan losses 
    reflects the decline in the levels of non-performing loans.

    Non-interest income for the first quarter of 1994 totaled $43.8 
    million, a decrease of $3.4 million or 7.2 percent compared with 
    the first quarter of 1993.  Investment securities transactions are 
    reflected in non-interest income.  For the three months of 1994, 
    net gains of $1.3 million were realized compared with gains of $6.6 
    million in 1993.  These gains were recognized as securities were 
    sold out of the available for sale portfolio.

    For the first quarter of 1994, service charges on deposits were 
    $15.9 million, an increase of $1.1 million or 7.6 percent over the 
    prior year period.  The increase in service charges was primarily 
    due to price increases effective in the third quarter 1993.  
    Service and loan fee income increased $1.4 million or 17.5 percent 
    compared with the quarter ended March 31, 1993 primarily due to 
    higher merchant credit card fees.  Trust fee income increased $.2 
    million or 4.2 percent compared to the first quarter of 1993.  
    During the first quarter of 1993, other income decreased $.5 
    million or 3.8 percent below the same period in 1993.

    Non-interest expenses in the first quarter of 1994 totaled $122.4 
    million, down $14.4 million, or 10.5 percent compared to a year 
    ago.  Salaries expense decreased $.9 million or 2.0 percent during 
    the first quarter of 1994 compared to the first quarter of 1993.  
    Pension and other employee benefits for the first quarter were 
    $13.8 million, down $1.1 million or 7.4 percent from the first 
    three months of 1993.

    Occupancy expense for the first quarter of 1994 increased $1.0 
    million or 8.3% compared to the prior year period.  This increase 
    was principally due to higher snow removal costs as a result of 
    severe weather conditions.  Furniture and equipment expense rose 
                                -5-
    
<PAGE>
    $.9 million or 8.7 percent for the quarter ended March 31, 1994 
    compared to the three months ended March 31, 1993.  The increase 
    over the prior year period resulted from increased equipment 
    rentals and maintenance expenses related to the installation of new 
    on-line equipment to support branch automation.

    The FDIC insurance assessment decreased $1.3 million or 16.4 
    percent during the first quarter of 1994 compared to the first 
    quarter of 1993.  This decrease reflects the impact of the reduced 
    assessment rates under the risk-based assessment system implemented 
    under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 
    1991 (FDICIA).

    Other real estate expenses were $4.1 million for the first quarter 
    of 1994, a decrease of $10.9 or 72.9 percent from the first quarter 
    of 1993.  Included in these amounts is a provision for losses on 
    other real estate and expenses related to holding and operating 
    foreclosed property.  A provision of $2.4 million for the first 
    quarter was added to the allowance for other real estate.  This 
    compares to a provision of $12.5 million for the first quarter of 
    1993.  Expenses for operating and maintaining other real estate 
    amounted to $1.7 million for the first quarter of 1994 compared 
    with $2.4 million for the first quarter of 1993.

    In January 1994, the company adopted SFAS No. 112 "Employers' 
    Accounting for Postemployment Benefits".  This Statement 
    established the required accounting for benefits provided to former 
    and inactive employees, as well as their beneficiaries and any 
    covered dependents, after employment but before retirement.  The 
    cumulative effect of the adoption of SFAS No. 112 resulted in a 
    negative impact on net income of $1.7 million or $.03 per share.

    Liquidity

    Liquidity is a measure of the ability to meet present and future 
    funding obligations and commitments.  Bank liquidity is the ability 
    to meet the borrowing needs and deposit withdrawal requirements of 
    customers and to support asset growth.  Principal sources of 
    liquidity are deposit generation, access to purchased funds, 
    maturities and repayments of loans and investment securities and 
    interest and fee income.

    Savings and time deposits declined for the three months of 1994, 
    primarily in the category of retail certificates of deposits as 
    consumers seek yields in alternative instruments.  Demand deposits 
    increased $455.8 million to $2.8 billion from a year ago.

    Proceeds of $419.3 million and $163.3 million from maturities of 
    investment securities and investment securities available for sale 
    contributed to liquidity since year-end 1993.  Borrowed funds, 
    which includes long-term debt and commercial paper, experienced a 
    $710.0 million increase since December 31, 1993 and provided 
    another source of liquidity.  Offsetting these sources were 
                                -6-

<PAGE>    
    purchases of $1.3 billion of investment securities and an increase 
    of $124.8 million in loans since year-end 1993.

    Additional liquidity is provided in the investments available for 
    sale and the investment portfolio.  Scheduled maturities and 
    anticipated principal repayments of the total investment portfolio
