  Retail Banking
 
     The Company -- a recognized leader in consumer banking -- has the largest
retail market share in Massachusetts. More households in Massachusetts do
business with the BayBanks than with any other banking organization. The Company
offers a wide variety of retail banking products, including FDIC-insured
checking, money market, savings, and time deposit accounts; credit cards; home
mortgages and home equity financing; instalment loans; and trust and private
banking services.
 
     The Company's proprietary X-Press 24 network, the 11th largest ATM network
in the country, operates over 1,000 ATMs in Massachusetts and Connecticut and
produces approximately 11 million transactions per month; the Company has
approximately 1 million ATM cards in use. In addition, the BayBank X-Press 24
Cash(R) network operates cash machines located in major retail stores in
Massachusetts. Approximately 88 nonaffiliated financial institutions are X-Press
24 network members. X-Press 24 cardholders can perform automated banking
transactions at over 65,000 CIRRUS(R) and NYCE(R) terminals worldwide.
Qualifying cardholders can also use their cards to make point-of-sale purchases
at retail establishments worldwide, including Mobil(R) stations, grocery stores
and, through BayBank X-Press Check(R), anywhere MasterCard(R) is accepted. The
Company provides a broad range of support and maintenance services to the
X-Press 24 network member institutions. In addition to its branch and ATM
networks, the Company operates a customer service center twenty-four hours a
day, seven days a week, that provides customer service and product information,
opens consumer banking accounts, and fills customer orders, including those from
its catalog of banking services.
 
  Corporate Banking
 
     The Company provides a comprehensive range of cash management, credit,
deposit, international banking, and related services to businesses, hospitals,
educational institutions, and local governments, with particular emphasis on the
Massachusetts middle market. Specialized products available to BayBanks'
business and governmental customers include personal computer-based cash
management services with which a customer may perform a range of deposit account
transactions; X-Press Trade(R), offering automated international letter of
credit services; BayBank X-Press Tax(R) for automated payroll tax depositing; a
Collateralized Municipal Money Market Account; and the Escrow Client Account
Service. BayBank also acts as corporate trustee for bond offerings and as
trustee or custodian for employee benefit and pension plans.
 
     Specific lending groups focus on healthcare and educational institutions,
municipalities, retailers, automobile dealers, and emerging technology
companies. The Company also provides secured financing, in the form of
asset-based lending, leasing, and real estate lending, for commercial customers.
The Company's general corporate lending activities are directed toward small and
middle market companies in the New England region, with a primary emphasis on
Massachusetts enterprises.
 
  Investment Services
 
     The Company's subsidiaries offer a wide range of investment services to
individuals and business customers. The government and municipal securities
dealerships at BayBank Boston, N.A., participate in the underwriting of
Massachusetts municipal obligations and engage in private placement activities.
BayBanks Brokerage Services, Inc., provides retail brokerage services. BayBanks
Investment Management, Inc., a registered investment adviser, provides portfolio
advice and asset management for individuals and businesses and manages the
BayBank trust department's common and collective trust funds. As of December 31,

management or in custody. BayBanks Investment Management, Inc., acts as
investment adviser to several portfolios of BayFunds, a proprietary mutual fund
family, and BayBank Boston, N.A. acts as investment adviser to one other
BayFunds portfolio. BayFunds added equity and bond portfolios to its existing
money market portfolio during the first quarter of 1993.

COMPETITION
 
     The BayBanks operate in a highly competitive banking market. All of the
banks compete with other commercial banks in their respective service areas,
with several large commercial banks located in the City of Boston, and with a
number of large regional and national commercial banks located throughout the
country. Legislation enacted in recent years and changing regulatory
interpretations have substantially increased the geographic and product
competition among commercial banks, thrift institutions, mortgage companies,
leasing companies, credit unions, finance companies, and nonbanking
institutions, including mutual funds, insurance companies, brokerage firms,
investment banks, and a variety of financial services and advisory companies. In
the international business, the BayBanks compete with other domestic banks
having foreign operations and with major foreign banks and other financial
institutions.
 
GOVERNMENT MONETARY POLICY
 
     The earnings and growth of the banking industry in general are affected by
the policies of regulatory authorities, including the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System ("Federal Reserve Board"). An important function of the
Federal Reserve Board is to regulate the national money supply. Among the
instruments of monetary policy used by the Federal Reserve Board to implement
its objectives are open market operations in U.S. Government securities, changes
in the discount rates on member bank borrowings, and changes in amount or
methods of calculating reserve requirements against member banks' deposits.
These means, used in varying combinations, influence the overall growth of bank
loans, investments, and deposits as well as the rates charged on loans or paid
for deposits. The monetary policies of the Federal Reserve Board have had a
significant effect on the operating results of commercial banks in the past and
are expected to continue to have such an effect in the future. The effect of
such policies upon the future business and earnings of the Company cannot be
predicted.
 
GENERAL BANKING REGULATION
 
     The Company is a bank holding company subject to supervision and regulation
by the Federal Reserve Board under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956. As a
bank holding company, the activities of the Company and its bank and nonbank
subsidiaries are limited to the business of banking and activities closely
related or incidental to banking. The Company may not acquire the ownership or
control of more than 5% of any class of voting shares or substantially all of
the assets of any company, including a bank, without the prior approval of the
Federal Reserve Board. The Company is also subject to the Massachusetts and
Connecticut bank holding company laws that, respectively require the Company to
obtain the prior approval of the Massachusetts Board of Bank Incorporation and
the Connecticut Banking Commissioner for holding company mergers and bank
acquisitions.
 
     The Company's largest subsidiary bank, BayBank, is subject to supervision
and examination by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") and the
Commissioner of Banks of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts ("Bank
Commissioner"). BayBank Boston, N.A. and BayBank Connecticut, N.A., are national
banking associations subject to supervision and examination by the Office of the
Comptroller of the Currency ("OCC"). All of the Company's subsidiary banks are
insured by and subject to certain regulations of the FDIC. They are also subject
to various requirements and restrictions under federal and state law, which
include requirements to obtain regulatory approval of certain business
transactions, including establishing and closing bank branches; requirements to
maintain reserves against deposits; restrictions on the types and amounts of
loans that may be granted and the interest that may be charged thereon; and
limitations on the types of investments that may be made and the types of
services that may be offered. Various consumer laws and regulations also affect
the operations of the Company's subsidiary banks.
 
     Under the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of
1989, a depository institution insured by the FDIC can be held liable for any
loss incurred by, or reasonably expected to be incurred by, the FDIC in
connection with (i) the default of a commonly controlled FDIC-insured depository
institution or (ii) any assistance provided by the FDIC to a commonly controlled
FDIC-insured depository institution in danger of default. Because the Company is
a holding company, its right to participate in the assets of any
 
                                        3
<PAGE>   5
 
subsidiary upon the latter's liquidation or reorganization will be subject to
the prior claims of the subsidiary's creditors (including depositors in the case
of bank subsidiaries), except to the extent that the Company may itself be a
creditor with recognized claims against the subsidiary.
 
     The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991
("FDICIA") provided for increased funding for FDIC deposit insurance and for
expanded regulation of the banking industry.
 
     Among other things, FDICIA requires the federal banking regulators to take
prompt corrective action with respect to depository institutions that do not
meet minimum capital requirements. FDICIA establishes five capital ratio
categories: "well capitalized," "adequately capitalized," "undercapitalized,"
"significantly undercapitalized," and "critically undercapitalized."
 
     A depository institution is well capitalized if it significantly exceeds
the minimum level required by regulation for each relevant capital measure,
adequately capitalized if it meets each such measure, undercapitalized if it
fails to meet any such measure, significantly undercapitalized if it is
significantly below any such measure, and critically undercapitalized if it
fails to meet any critical capital level set forth in the regulations. The
critical capital level must be a level of tangible equity equal to at least 2%
of total assets, but may be fixed at a higher level by regulation. A depository
institution may be deemed to be in a capitalization category that is lower than
is indicated by its actual capital position if it receives an unsatisfactory
examination rating and may be reclassified to a lower category by action based
on other supervisory criteria. For an institution to be well capitalized it must
have a total risk-based capital ratio of at least 10%, a Tier 1 risk-based
capital ratio of at least 6%, and a leverage ratio of at least 5% and not be
subject to any specific capital order or directive. For an institution to be
adequately capitalized it must have a total risk-based capital ratio of at least
8%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of at least 4%, and a leverage ratio of at
least 4% (3% in some cases).
 
     FDICIA generally prohibits a depository institution from making any capital
distribution (including payment of a dividend) or paying any management fee to
its holding company if the depository institution would thereafter be
undercapitalized. Undercapitalized depository institutions are subject to
increased regulatory monitoring and growth limitations and are required to
submit capital restoration plans. A depository institution's holding company
must guarantee the capital plan, up to an amount equal to the lesser of 5% of
the depository institution's assets at the time it becomes undercapitalized or
the amount needed to comply with the plan. The federal banking agencies may not
accept a capital plan without determining, among other things, that the plan is
based on realistic assumptions and is likely to succeed in restoring the
depository institution's capital. If a depository institution fails to submit an
acceptable plan, it is treated as if it is significantly undercapitalized.
Significantly undercapitalized depository institutions may be subject to a
number of requirements and restrictions, including orders to sell sufficient
voting stock to become adequately capitalized, requirements to reduce total
assets, and cessation of receipt of deposits from correspondent banks.
Critically undercapitalized depository institutions are subject to appointment
of a receiver or conservator.
 
     Each of the bank subsidiaries of the Company exceeds current minimum
regulatory capital requirements and qualify as well capitalized under the
regulations relating to prompt corrective action (see "Regulatory Capital
Requirements").
 
     The FDIC has adopted regulations governing the receipt of brokered deposits
that require certain banks, depending on their capital ratios and other factors,
to obtain a waiver from the FDIC before they may accept brokered deposits, and
that limit the interest rates certain banks can offer on deposits. Although the
Company does not solicit brokered deposits, all of its bank subsidiaries are
free to do so without restraint under the regulation.
 
     Under FDIC's risk-based deposit insurance premium system for the Bank
Insurance Fund ("BIF"), which went into effect on January 1, 1993, banks
currently pay within a range of 23 cents per $100 of domestic deposits (the
prior rate for all institutions) to 31 cents per $100 of domestic deposits,
depending on their risk classification. To arrive at a risk-based assessment for
each bank, the FDIC places the bank in one of nine risk categories, using a
two-step process based first on capital ratios and then on other relevant
supervisory information. Each institution is assigned to one of three groups
(well capitalized, adequately capitalized, or undercapitalized) based on its
capital ratios. For these purposes, a well capitalized institution is one that
has at
 
                                        4
<PAGE>   6
 
least a 10% total risk-based capital ratio, a 6% Tier 1 risk-based capital
ratio, and a 5% Tier 1 leverage capital ratio. An adequately capitalized
institution must have at least an 8% total risk-based capital ratio, a 4% Tier 1
risk-based capital ratio, and a 4% Tier 1 leverage capital ratio. An
undercapitalized institution is one that does not meet either of the foregoing
definitions. Each institution is also assigned to one of three supervisory
subgroups based on an evaluation of the risk posed by the institution to the
BIF. Well capitalized banks presenting the lowest risk to the BIF pay the lowest
assessment rate, while undercapitalized banks presenting the highest risk pay
the highest rate. The BayBanks' capital ratios at December 31, 1993, placed them
in the well capitalized category for assessment purposes. The assessment will
depend upon the level of deposit balances and the BayBanks' applicable risk
categories (see "Regulatory Capital Requirements").
 
     Other significant provisions of FDICIA require federal banking regulators
to draft standards in a number of areas to assure bank safety and soundness,
including internal controls; credit underwriting; asset growth; management
compensation; ratios of classified assets to capital; and earnings. The
legislation also contains provisions that require the adoption of capital
guidelines applicable to interest rate risks; tighten independent auditing
requirements; restrict the activities and investments of state-chartered insured
banks; strengthen various consumer banking laws; limit the ability of
undercapitalized banks to borrow from the Federal Reserve's discount window; and
require regulators to perform annual on-site bank examinations and set standards
for real estate lending.
 
     The full impact of FDICIA will not be completely known until the adoption
by the various federal banking agencies of all of the implementing regulations.
However, FDICIA has resulted in increased costs for the banking industry due to
higher FDIC assessments and increased compliance burdens. Otherwise, FDICIA has
not had an adverse effect on the Company's operations.
 
REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS
 
     Under the three federal banking regulators' risk-based capital measures for
banks and bank holding companies a banking organization's reported balance sheet
is converted to risk-based amounts by assigning each asset to a risk category,
which is then multiplied by the risk weight for that category. Off-balance sheet
exposures are converted to risk-based amounts through a two-step process. First,
off-balance sheet assets and credit equivalent amounts (e.g., interest rate
swaps) are multiplied by a credit conversion factor depending on the defined
categorization of the particular item. Then the converted items are assigned to
a risk category that weights the items according to their relative risk.
 
     The total of the risk-weighted on-and off-balance sheet amounts represents
a banking organization's risk-adjusted assets for purposes of determining
capital ratios under the risk-based guidelines. Risk-adjusted assets can either
exceed or be less than reported assets, depending on the risk profile of the
banking organization. Risk-adjusted assets for institutions such as the Company
will generally be less than reported assets because retail banking activities
include proportionally more residential real estate loans with a lower risk
rating and a relatively small off-balance sheet position.
 
     A banking organization's total qualifying capital includes two components,
core capital (Tier 1 capital) and supplementary capital (Tier 2 capital). Core
capital, which must comprise at least half of total capital, includes common
stockholders' equity, qualifying perpetual preferred stock, and minority
interests, less goodwill. Supplementary capital includes the allowance for loan
losses (subject to certain limitations), other perpetual preferred stock,
certain other capital instruments, and term subordinated debt, which is
discounted at 20% a year during its final five years of maturity. The Company's
major capital components include stockholders' equity in core capital, and the
allowance for loan losses and grandfathered floating rate notes, subject to a
40% discounting in the fourth quarter of 1993, in supplementary capital.
 
     At December 31, 1993, the minimum risk-based capital requirements were
4.00% for core capital and 8.00% for total capital. Federal banking regulators
have also adopted leverage capital guidelines to supplement the risk-based
measures. The leverage ratio is determined by dividing Tier 1 capital as defined
under the risk-based guidelines by average total assets (not risk-adjusted) for
the preceding quarter. The minimum leverage ratio is 3.00%, although banking
organizations are expected to exceed that amount by 100 or 200 basis points or
more, depending upon their circumstances.
 
                                        5
<PAGE>   7
 
     At December 31, 1993, the Company's consolidated risk-based capital ratios
were 10.68% for core capital and 12.40% for total capital, and at December 31,
1992, were 10.37% and 12.30%, respectively. The Company's consolidated leverage

(1) The rate/volume variance is allocated to the average balance category.
(2) Presented on a tax equivalent basis at the combined effective federal and
     state tax rate of 43.2% for 1993 and 42.3% for 1992.
(3) Loan income includes loan fees, primarily related to commercial and
     residential real estate loans, of $6.2 million in 1993, $6.8 million in
     1992, and $7.4 million in 1991. Nonperforming loans (nonaccrual loans) are
     included in average loan balances. Interest income is recorded on an
     accrual basis. Thus, nonperforming loans do not contribute to net interest
     income and affect the net interest margin.

(1) The distribution of the allowance for loan losses is based on an assessment
     of an aggregate potential for future losses in the respective year-end loan
     portfolios. While the allowance has been distributed to individual loan
     categories, it is available to absorb losses in the total portfolio. The
     distribution of the allowance includes both allocations assigned to
     specifically identified problem loans and unallocated amounts that are not
     specifically identified as to any individual loan. The unallocated amounts
     related to commercial and commercial real estate loans were $85 million as
     of December 31, 1993, as described in the CREDIT QUALITY section
     incorporated by reference in Item 7 (see 1993 Annual Report, "Allowance for
     Loan Losses," page 15).

ITEM 2.  PROPERTIES.
 
     BayBanks, Inc., and its subsidiaries occupy both owned and leased premises.
The offices occupied by the Company in Boston, Massachusetts, include its
principal executive offices and are leased from nonaffiliated companies.
Property occupied by the three subsidiary banks represents the majority of the
Company's property, and is generally considered to be in good condition and
adequate for the purpose for which it is used. Bank properties include bank
buildings and branches, and free-standing automated banking facilities. The
Company owns the 11-story 208,000 square foot headquarters building of BayBank,
its principal bank subsidiary, of which 5% is leased to nonaffiliates. Of the

(each such date being referred to herein as a "Quarterly Dividend Payment
Date"), commencing on the first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date after the first
issuance of a share or fraction of a share of Series A Junior Participating
Preferred Stock, in an amount per share (rounded to the nearest cent) equal to
the greater of (a) $1.00 or (b) subject to the provision for adjustment
hereinafter set forth, 100 times the aggregate per share amount of all cash
dividends, and 100 times the aggregate per share amount (payable in kind) of
all non-cash dividends or other distributions other than a dividend payable in
shares of Common Stock or a subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common
Stock (by reclassification or otherwise), declared on the Common Stock, $2.00
par value per share, of the Corporation (the "Common Stock") since the
immediately preceding Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, or, with respect to the
first Quarterly Dividend Payment Date, since the first issuance of any share or
fraction of a share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock. In the
event the Corporation shall at any time after December 15, 1988 (the "Rights
Declaration Date") (i) declare any dividend on Common Stock payable in shares
of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide the outstanding Common Stock, or (iii) combine 
the outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such
case the amount to which holders of shares of Series A Junior Participating
Preferred Stock were entitled immediately prior to such event under clause (b)
of the preceding sentence shall be adjusted by multiplying such amount by a
fraction the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock 
outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the 
number of shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior 
to such event.

                (b)  The Corporation shall declare a dividend or distribution
on the Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock as provided in paragraph
(a) above immediately after it delcares a dividend or distribution on the
Common Stock (other than a dividend payable in shares of Common Stock);
provided that, subject to the requirements of applicable law and the Articles
of Organization, in the event no dividend or distribution shall have been
declared on the Common Stock during the period between any Quarterly Dividend
Payment Date, a dividend of $1.00 per share on the Series A Junior
Participating Preferred Stock shall nevertheless be payable on such subsequent
Quarterly Dividend Payment Date.


                                      1B
<PAGE>   6
                (c)  Dividends shall begin to accrue and be cumulative on
outstanding shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock from the
Quarterly Dividend Payment Date next preceding the date of issue of such shares
of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, unless the date of issue of
such shares is prior to the record date for the first Quarterly Dividend
Payment Date, in which case dividends on such shares shall begin to accrue from
the date of issue of such shares, or unless the date of issue is a Quarterly
Dividend Payment Date or is a date after the record date for the determination
of holders of shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock entitled
to receive a quarterly dividend and before such Quarterly Dividend Payment
Date, in either of which events such dividends shall begin to accrue and be
cumulative from such Quarterly Dividend Payment Date. Accrued but unpaid
dividends shall not bear interest. Dividends paid on the shares of Series A
Junior Participating Preferred Stock in an amount less than the total amount of
such dividends at the time accrued and payable on such shares shall be
allocated pro rata on a share-by-share basis among all such shares at the time
outstanding. The Board of Directors may fix a record date for the determination
of holders of shares of Series A Junior Partcipating Preferred Stock entitled
to receive payment of a dividend or distribution declared thereon, which record
date shall be no more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for the payment
thereof.

        Section 3.  VOTING RIGHTS.  The holders of shares of Series A Junior
Partcipating Preferred Stock shall have the following voting rights:

                (a)  Subject to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set
forth, each share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock shall
entitle the holder thereof to 100 votes on all matters submitted to a vote of
the stockholders of the Corporation. In the event the Corporation shall at any
time after the Rights Declaration Date (i) declare any dividend on Common
Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide the outstanding Common
Stock, or (iii) combine the outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of
shares, then in each such case the number of votes per share to which holders
of shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock were entitled
immediately prior to such event shall be adjusted by multiplying such number by
a fraction the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the
number of shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to
such event.

<PAGE>   7
         
        (b)  Except as otherwise provided herein or by law, the holders of
shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock and the holders of
shares of Common Stock shall vote together as one class on all matters submitted
to a vote of stockholders of the Corporation.

          
        (c)  Except as set forth herein, holders of Series A Junior     
Participating Preferred Stock shall have no special voting rights and their
consent shall not be required (except to the extent they are entitled to vote
with holders of Common Stock as set forth herein) for taking any corporate
action.  

     Section 4.  CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS.

        (a)  Whenever quarterly dividends or other dividends or distributions
payable on the Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock as provided in
Section 2 are in arrears, thereafter and until all accrued and unpaid dividends
and distributions, whether or not declared, on shares of Series A Junior
Participating Preferred Stock outstanding shall have been paid in full, the
Corporation shall not

           (i) declare or pay dividends on, make any other distributions on,
    or redeem or purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any shares of
    stock ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon liquidation,
    dissolution or winding up) to the Series A Junior Participating Preferred
    Stock;      

           (ii)  declare or pay dividends on or make any other distributions on
    any shares of stock ranking on a parity (either as to dividends or upon
    liquidation, dissolution or winding up) with the Series A Junior
    Participating Preferred Stock, except dividends paid ratably on the Series
    A Junior Participating Preferred Stock and all such parity stock on which
    dividends are payable or in arrears in proportion to the total amounts to 
    which the holders of all such shares are then entitled;

           (iii)  redeem or purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration 
    shares of any stock ranking on a parity (either as to dividends or upon
    liquidation, dissolution or winding up) with the Series A Junior
    Participating Preferred Stock, provided that the Corporation may at any
    time redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire shares 


                                      1D
<PAGE>   8
    of any such parity stock in exchange for shares of any stock of the
    Corporation ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon dissolution,
    liquidation or winding up) to the Series A Junior Participating
    Preferred Stock;

                (iv)  purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any
    shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, or any shares of
    stock ranking on a parity with the Series A Junior Participating Preferred
    Stock, except in accordance with a purchase offer made in writing or by
    publication (as determined by the Board of Directors) to all holders of
    such shares upon such terms as the Board of Directors, after consideration
    of the respective annual dividend rates and other relative rights and
    preferences of the respective series and classes, shall determine in good
    faith will result in fair and equitable treatment among respective series
    or classes.

                (b)  The Corporation shall not permit any subsidiary of the
Corporation to purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any shares of
stock of the Corporation unless the Corporation could, under paragraph (a) of
this Section 4, purchase or otherwise acquire such shares at such time and in
such manner.

        Section 5.  REACQUIRED SHARES.  Any shares of Series A Junior 
Participating Preferred Stock purchased or otherwise acquired by the
Corporation in any manner whatsoever shall be retired and cancelled promptly
after the acquisition thereof. All such shares shall upon their cancellation
become authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock, and may be reissued
as part of a new series of Preferred Stock to be created by resolution or
resolutions of the Board of Directors, subject to the conditions and
restrictions on issuance set forth herein.

        Section 6.  LIQUIDATION, DISSOLUTION OR WINDING UP.

        (a)  Upon any liquidation (voluntary or otherwise), dissolution or
winding up of the Corporation, no distribution shall be made to the holders of
shares of stock ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon liquidation,
dissolution or winding up) to the Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock
unless, prior thereto, the holders of shares of Series A Junior Participating 
Preferred Stock shall have received $100 per share, plus an amount equal to
accrued and


                                      1E
<PAGE>   9
unpaid dividends and distributions thereon, whether or not declared, to
the date of such payment (the "Series A Liquidation Preference").  Following
the payment of the full amount of the Series A Liquidation Preference, no
additional distributions shall be made to the holders of shares of Series A
Junior Participating Preferred Stock unless, prior thereto, the holders of
shares of Common Stock shall have received an amount per share (the "Common
Adjustment") equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the Series A
Liquidation Preference by (ii) 100 (as appropriately adjusted as set forth in
subparagraph (c) below to reflect such events as stock splits, stock dividends
and recapitalizations with respect to the Common Stock) (such number in clause
(ii), the "Adjustment Number").  Following the payment of the full amount of the
Series A Liquidation Preference and the Common Adjustment in respect of all 
outstanding shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock and Common
Stock, respectively, holders of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock
and holders of shares of Common Stock shall receive their ratable and
proportionate share of the remaining assets to be distributed in the ratio of
the Adjustment Number to one (1) with respect to such Preferred Stock and
Common Stock, on a per share basis, respectively.

        (b)  In the event, however, that there are not sufficient assets
available to permit payment in full of the Series A Liquidation
Preference and the liquidation preferences of all other series of preferred
stock, if any, which rank on a parity with the Series A Junior Participating
Preferred Stock, then such remaining assets shall be distributed ratably to the
holders of such parity shares in proportion to their respective liquidation
preferences.  In the event, however, that there are not sufficient assets
available to permit payment in full of the Common Adjustment, then such
remaining assets shall be distributed ratably to the holders of Common Stock.

        (c)  In the event the Corporation shall at any time after the Rights    
Declaration Date (i) declare any dividend on Common Stock payable in shares of
Common Stock, (ii) subdivide the outstanding Common Stock, or (iii) combine the
outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such
case the Adjustment Number in effect immediately prior to such event shall be
adjusted by multiplying such Adjustment Number by a fraction the numerator of
which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after
such event and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock
that were outstanding immediately prior to such event.

        Section 7.  CONSOLIDATION, MERGER, ETC.  In case the Corporation shall
enter into any consolidation, merger, combination or other transaction in
which the shares of Common Stock are exchanged for or changed into other stock
or securities, cash and/or any other property, then in any such case the shares
of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock shall at the same time be
similarly exchanged or changed in an amount per share (subject to the
provision for adjustment hereinafter set forth) equal to 100 times the
aggregate amount of stock, securities, cash and/or any other property (payable
in kind), as the case may be, into which or for which each share of Common
Stock is changed or exchanged. In the event the Corporation shall at any time
after the Rights Declaration Date (i) declare any dividend on Common Stock
payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivide the outstanding Common Stock,
or (iii) combine the outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares,
then in each such case the amount set forth in the preceding sentence with
respect to the exchange or change of shares of Series A Junior Participating 
Preferred Stock shall be adjusted by multiplying such amount by a fraction the
numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the number of
shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such event.

        Section 8.  NO REDEMPTION.  The shares of Series A Junior Participating
Preferred Stock shall not be redeemable.

        Section 9.  RANKING.  The Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock
shall rank junior to all other series of the Corporation's Preferred Stock as
to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets, unless the terms of
any such series shall provide otherwise.

        Section 10.  AMENDMENT.  The Articles of Organization of the
Corporation shall not be further amended in any manner which would materially
alter or change the powers, preferences or special rights of the Series A 
Junior Participating Preferred Stock so as to affect them adversely without the
affirmative vote of the holders of a majority or more of the outstanding shares
of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, voting separately as a class.

        Section 11.  FRACTIONAL SHARES.  Series A Junior Participating
Preferred Stock may be issued in fractions of a share which shall entitle the
holder, in proportion to such holder's fractional shares, to exercise voting
rights, receive dividends, participate in distributions and to have the benefit
of all other rights of holders of Series A Junior Participating Preferred
Stock."

                           1994 RESTRICTED STOCK PLAN

1.  PURPOSE.
    The purpose of this Restricted Stock Plan (the "Plan") is to attract,
motivate, and retain outstanding individuals as employees of BayBanks, Inc.
(the "Corporation") and its Subsidiaries, as hereinafter defined, to align
their future interests with those of the Corporation's stockholders, and to
reward appropriately those who make substantial contributions to the success
and welfare of the Corporation.
2.  STOCK SUBJECT TO THE PLAN.
    The stock that may be granted under the Plan shall be the Common Stock,
$2.00 par value, of the Corporation. The maximum total number of shares of
such stock that may be issued under the Plan shall be 500,000 shares (except
as such amount may be adjusted in accordance with the provisions of Section 9
hereof). Such shares may be either unissued shares or reacquired shares.
    If previously awarded shares are forfeited to the Corporation by reason of
termination of employment during the applicable Restriction Period, or for any
other reason, such shares shall not again be awarded under the Plan unless the
respective grant recipient has not had the benefits of ownership thereof
(other than voting rights). In the event the Corporation acquires or merges or
consolidates with another company, Common Stock issuable under the Plan as a
result of the Corporation's assumption of outstanding awards from such other
company or the substitution of grants under the Plan for outstanding awards of
such other company shall not reduce the shares available for grant under the
Plan.
3.  ELIGIBILITY AND PARTICIPATION.
    Individuals eligible to receive grants of Restricted Stock, as hereinafter
defined, under the Plan shall be those employees of the Corporation and its
Subsidiaries selected from time to time by the Plan's administrative
committee, provided, however, that each grant recipient must have been
employed by the Corporation or a Subsidiary for a period of at least six
months immediately preceding the date of grant. No person who is not an
officer or salaried employee of the Corporation or a Subsidiary shall be
eligible to receive a grant under the Plan. Grants made under the Plan in any
year shall neither preclude nor require selection of a grantee to receive
future grants or require that the grantee receive the same type or amount of
award as at any other time, or as may be received by any other grant recipient
at any time. Neither the Plan nor any action taken under the Plan shall be
construed as giving any grantee the right to be retained in the employ of the
Corporation or a Subsidiary.
4.  ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN.
    The Plan shall be administered by a Committee (the "Committee") appointed
by, and to serve at the pleasure of, the Board of Directors of the Corporation
and consisting of three or more directors, each of whom is a "disinterested
person" within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, or any successor provision, as applicable to the
Corporation at the time. Until the Board of Directors shall otherwise
determine, that Committee shall be the Corporate Compensation Committee.
Subject to the express provisions hereof, the Committee shall have sole and
complete authority to make grants of Restricted Stock. Such authority shall
include, but not be limited to, selecting individuals to receive grants under
the Plan, determining the number of shares of Common Stock (subject to the
limitations in Section 2 hereof) to be awarded to each grant recipient under
the Plan and the terms and conditions under which such grants shall be made,
and determining the duration and terms of each Restriction Period.
    The Committee also shall have authority to adopt rules and regulations for
carrying out the Plan and to interpret, construe, implement, and otherwise
administer the provisions of the Plan.  Decisions of the Committee shall be
final. A majority of the Committee shall constitute a quorum. The acts of a
majority of the members present at any meeting at which a quorum is present
(or acts approved in writing by a majority of the Committee) shall be the acts
of the Committee. The Committee shall keep minutes of its proceedings and from
time to time make such reports to the Board of Directors as the Board shall
direct.

                                      1
<PAGE>   2
5.  EFFECTIVE DATE.
    The Effective Date of the Plan shall be the date upon which the Plan is
adopted by the Board of Directors of the Corporation. The Plan shall terminate
if it is not approved within twelve months after the Effective Date by vote of
the holders of a majority of the stock of the Corporation present in person or
by proxy and entitled to vote at a special or annual meeting of the
stockholders of the Corporation.
6.  TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF GRANTS.
    6.1  Grants under the Plan shall consist of Restricted Stock, which shall
be shares of Common Stock of the Corporation transferred to grant recipients
in furtherance of the purposes of the Plan without, unless otherwise provided,
other payment and subject to the restrictions referred to in this Section 6.
All shares of Restricted Stock granted under the Plan shall be so granted for,
and in consideration of, past services rendered to the Corporation or a
Subsidiary and shall be subject to the following terms and conditions and to
such other terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the Plan, as shall be
prescribed by the Committee in its sole discretion and as shall be contained
in the Agreement referred to in Section 6.1(d) hereof.
        (a) At the time of a grant of shares of Restricted Stock, the
    Committee shall establish for all such shares received by a grantee (or,
    if it is the intent that the total of such shares shall be divided into
    separate parts, for each part of such total) a period of time (the
    "Restriction Period") commencing with the date of the grant of such shares
    during which time the shares may not be sold, assigned, transferred,
    pledged, or otherwise encumbered, except as herein provided. Different
    Restriction Periods may be fixed for different parts of the shares that
    are being granted to a recipient, and the Restriction Period for one grant
    may differ from the Restriction Period for other grants. Except for such
    restrictions, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, the grant
    recipient as owner of such Restricted Stock shall have all the rights of a
    stockholder, including but not limited to the right to receive all
    dividends paid on such Restricted Stock and the right to vote such
    Restricted Stock. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, the
    restrictions shall terminate upon the earliest to occur of the expiration
    of the Restriction Period or the grantee's death, disability, or
    retirement, or in any other circumstances determined by the Committee at
    the time of the grant or at any time thereafter.
        (b) If a grant recipient ceases to be an employee of the Corporation
    or a Subsidiary, all shares of Restricted Stock theretofore granted to him
    as to which the restrictions imposed under this Section 6 have not
    terminated or do not thereby terminate shall, except as provided in
    Section 7 hereof, upon such cessation of employment be forfeited and
    returned to the Corporation unless the Committee, in its discretion,
    otherwise determines.
        (c) Each certificate issued in respect of shares of Restricted Stock
    granted under the Plan shall be registered in the name of the grantee and
    deposited by him, together with a stock power endorsed in blank, with the
    Corporation and shall bear the following (or a similar) legend:
        "The transferability of this certificate and the shares of stock
        represented hereby are subject to the terms, conditions and
        restrictions (including forfeiture) contained in a Plan and an
        Agreement between the registered owner and BayBanks, Inc. A copy of
        such Plan and Agreement will be furnished to the holder of this
        certificate upon written request and without charge."

        (d) The grant recipient shall enter into an Agreement with the
    Corporation, in a form not inconsistent with the Plan, agreeing to the
    terms and conditions of the grant and such other matters as the Committee
    shall in its sole discretion determine. The Agreement may be amended by
    the Committee at any time to modify the Restriction Period with respect to
    any shares of Restricted Stock the restrictions on which have not then
    lapsed or in any other respect; provided that, except as provided in
    Section 12, no amendment shall adversely affect the terms and conditions
    of an outstanding grant without the written consent of the grant
    recipient.
        (e) Upon the termination of the restrictions imposed under this
    Section 6, the Corporation shall return to the grantee (or his legal
    representative, beneficiary, or heir) certificates, without a legend, for
    the shares of Common Stock deposited with it pursuant to subsection (c)
    hereof.
    6.2  The Corporation or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, shall have the
right to deduct from amounts payable to the grantee, or to require the grantee
to pay, any taxes required by law to be withheld with respect to such
Restricted Stock. In the Committee's discretion such tax obligations may be
paid in whole or in part in shares of Common Stock, including shares retained
from the grant creating the tax obligation, valued at their fair market value
on the date of delivery.
    6.3  No rights or interests of a grant recipient under the Plan may be
assigned, encumbered, or transferred except by will or the laws of descent and
distribution.
7.  CHANGE IN CONTROL.
    In order to preserve the rights of a grant recipient in the event of a
merger or consolidation of the Corporation with another corporation or of a
Change in Control of the Corporation, the Committee may in its discretion
include in the grant Agreement or in any amendment thereto (subject to the
proviso of Section 6.1(d)) provisions: (i) permitting restrictions on
Restricted Stock to lapse, in whole or in part, immediately prior to such
event, (ii) adjusting the terms of a grant in a manner determined by the
Committee to reflect the Change in Control, (iii) causing a grant to be
assumed, or new rights substituted therefor, by another entity, and/or (iv)
making such other provision as the Committee may consider equitable and in the
best interests of the Corporation. After a Change in Control of the
Corporation, the Corporation shall pay all reasonable legal fees, costs, and
other expenses incurred by any grantee in enforcing rights under this Plan or
the grant Agreement. The term "Change in Control" shall have such meaning with
respect to any grant of Restricted Stock as the Committee determines and is
specified in the Agreement for such grant.

8.  SECURITIES AND OTHER LAWS.
    In any case where in the opinion of the Committee, the issue and/or
delivery of shares of Common Stock under the Plan would violate requirements
of Federal or state securities or other laws, or the requirements of any
exchange on which the securities are listed, the Corporation shall be entitled
to postpone such issue and/or delivery until such requirements have been met.
The Committee may require representations and agreements from any grant
recipient in order to ensure compliance with Federal or state securities or
other laws.
9.  ADJUSTMENT IN NUMBER OF SHARES.
    In the event that there are any changes in the outstanding Common Stock of
the Corporation by reason of stock dividends, stock splits, or
recapitalizations (whether by way of mergers, consolidations, combinations, or
exchanges of shares or the like) the aggregate number and kind of shares
available under the Plan shall be appropriately adjusted by the Committee, if
necessary, to reflect equitably such change or changes. Any shares of stock or
other securities received by a grant recipient with respect to shares still
subject to the restrictions imposed by Section 6 will be subject to the same
restrictions and shall be deposited with the Corporation in accordance with
Section 6.
10.  NOTICE OF ELECTION UNDER SECTION 83(B).
    Each grant recipient making an election under Section 83(b) of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations and rulings
promulgated thereunder, will provide a copy thereof to the Corporation within
thirty days of the filing of such election with the Internal Revenue Service
and the Agreement referred to in Section 6 shall so provide.
11.  TERM OF PLAN.
    Unless sooner terminated the Plan shall terminate ten years from the
Effective Date and no Restricted Stock shall be granted thereafter.
12.  AMENDMENTS AND TERMINATION.
    The Plan or any portion hereof may be amended at any time and from time to
time or terminated by the Board of Directors, subject to such approval of the
stockholders as the Board of Directors shall deem necessary or advisable. No
amendment or termination shall adversely affect the terms and conditions of
outstanding grants without the written consent of the grantee, except that the
Plan and any Agreement may be amended without the consent of any grant
recipient in order to conform to restrictions or limitations imposed by
securities or tax laws or regulations, or any other laws or regulations deemed
by the Corporation to be binding upon it.

13.  MISCELLANEOUS.
    13.1  Transfer of Employment.  The transfer of employment of an employee
from the Corporation to a Subsidiary or from a Subsidiary to the Corporation
or to another Subsidiary shall not constitute a termination of employment for
the purposes of the Plan.
    13.2  Definition of Subsidiary.  For all purposes of the Plan, the term
"Subsidiary" means any corporation of which the Corporation owns or controls
more than 50% of the outstanding shares of capital stock entitled ordinarily
(rather than in some contingency) to vote for the election of directors
(counting shares owned or controlled by a Subsidiary within this definition as
being owned or controlled by the Corporation).

FINANCIAL REVIEW


PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW

    BayBanks' net income was $67.7 million in 1993, or $3.57 per share, up
significantly from 1992 after excluding the effect of securities gains. Net
income for 1992, which included after-tax securities gains of $44.4 million, or
$2.67 per share, was $59.2 million, also $3.57 per share. Securities gains for
1993 were only $234 thousand (after-tax), or $.01 per share. Earnings per share
in 1993 also reflected a 14% increase in average shares outstanding, primarily
as a result of BayBanks' 2.3 million common share offering in the fourth
quarter of 1992. Net income in 1991 was $9.7 million, or $.60 per share,
including after-tax securities gains of $23.7 million, or $1.48 per share.
    The key factors that affected net income were as follows:

  o Operating income (as defined below) was $181.0 million in 1993, compared
    with $175.2 million in 1992 and $171.2 million in 1991.

  o There were virtually no securities gains in 1993, compared with $76.9
    million in 1992 and $41.0 million in 1991.

  o Credit provisions (the provision for loan losses and net additions to the
    other real estate owned reserve) declined by $91.0 million, from $152.3
    million in 1992 to $61.3 million in 1993. Credit provisions were $192.9
    million in 1991.

  o The lower credit provisions were due to the significant improvement in
    credit quality over the past three years. Nonperforming assets declined 41%
    to $224 million at year-end 1993 from $376 million at year-end 1992 and
    $469 million at year-end 1991.

    Most importantly, BayBanks' quarterly dividend was reinstated in the first
quarter of 1993 and has been increased twice since that time. For the first two
quarters of 1993, a dividend was paid at a rate of $.20 per share, increasing
to $.25 per share during the third and fourth quarters of the year. The
full-year dividend was $.90 per share. On January 27, 1994, the Board of
Directors raised the quarterly dividend to $.35 per share payable March 1,
1994.

EARNINGS ANALYSIS

Operating Income
    Operating income includes net interest income (on a tax equivalent basis) 
and noninterest income and is after operating expenses, but excludes net 
securities gains, the provision for loan losses, and net additions to the other 
real estate owned (OREO) reserve and is before income taxes.
    Operating income (TABLE A) was $181.0 million in 1993, up from $175.2 
million in 1992 and $171.2 million in 1991. In 1993, higher noninterest income

BayFunds in the first quarter of the year, increased personnel required to
process higher levels of consumer lending (primarily automobile finance and
residential mortgage volumes), and additional sales staff in the Customer Sales
and Service Center due to increasing sales activity.

Net Interest Income (tax equivalent basis)

Net interest income, the primary contributor to operating income, is affected by
many factors, including the volume, interest rates, and relative mix of both
earning assets and interest-bearing and noninterest-bearing sources of funds.
These factors also affect the net interest margin, as does the size of the
balance sheet. Net interest income increased in 1993 as consumer credit balances
grew, deposit rates declined, and the mix of deposits shifted to lower-cost
categories. Net interest income increased to $429.2 million in 1993 from $420.7
million in 1992 and $399.9 million in 1991 (TABLE B). The increase in net
interest income in 1993 from 1992 was primarily attributed to lower deposit
costs, increased instalment lending activities, principally automobile lending,
and increased average securities portfolios balances and was partially offset by
lower overall earning asset yields. During the first half of 1993, net interest
income was below prior year levels due to a 1992 fourth quarter securities
portfolio repositioning. That action, which resulted in a $41.1 million gain
from the sale of $1.1 billion in securities, nevertheless led to the
reinvestment of sale proceeds in securities with shorter maturities and lower
yields, thus lowering interest income on securities beginning in the fourth
quarter of 1992.        
        In the second half of 1993,     
         
                                  [FIGURE 1]
                                       
        The lower income from securities was offset  by higher interest income
from growth in consumer loans, declining deposit costs, and a shift to
lower-cost deposit categories.    
        BayBanks' funding costs have continued to decline as deposit rates have
fallen and customers' liquidity preferences have resulted in a shift to
lower-rate NOW and savings accounts. From 1992 to 1993, the cost of
interest-bearing liabilities (as a percentage of average earning assets)
declined 91 basis points, while earning assets yields declined 90 basis points
due to a lower overall rate structure and the impact of the repositioning of
BayBanks' securities portfolios in the fourth quarter of 1992. Thus, the 1993
net interest margin of 5.00%, which compares favorably to industry margins
(FIGURE 1), ended the year one basis point above the net

interest margin for 1992; the margin was 5.08% in the fourth quarter of 1993,
compared with 4.85% in the same quarter in 1992. The net interest margin was
4.57% in 1991.

Fees, Service Charges, and Other Noninterest Income

      Noninterest income consists primarily of service charges on deposit
accounts and fees from credit and non-credit services and is well diversified
among consumer, corporate and small business, and investment services
activities. Noninterest income (TABLE C) increased 8% to $198.5 million in 1993
from $183.9 million in 1992; noninterest income was $169.8 million in 1991.
      Service charges and fees on deposit accounts, contributing over one-half
of noninterest income, increased 9% to $105.2 million in 1993 from $96.7
million in 1992. This increase was attributable to higher sales levels due in
large part to the growing contribution by BayBanks' state-of-the-art Customer
Sales and Service Center and selective repricing of consumer and corporate
payment and cash management products.
      Credit card fees were $18.9 million in 1993, compared with $19.4 million
in 1992. This slight decline in fees was due to slightly lower transaction
volumes and promotions that included selected annual fee waivers.
      Trust fees were $14.6 million in 1993 and $14.8 million in 1992. The
decline in trust fees in 1993 was due to the decrease in income from the
management of corporate employee benefit plan assets, which are now invested in
BayFunds. Investment management and brokerage fees increased 56% to $6.6
million in 1993 from $4.2 million in 1992. Increases were attributed to
stronger sales through the Company's discount brokerage and increased sales of
BayFunds, for which affiliates of the Company act as advisors for a fee based
on balances in the funds.
      Processing fees increased due to higher income from non-BayBank 
cardholders using BayBank ATMs and BayBank cardholders using network ATMs. 
Mortgage banking fees were $12.0 million in 1993, compared with $10.2 million 
in 1992, due to continued strong refinancing volumes. International fees 
reflected a slightly lower volume of letter of credit fees.
      BayBanks periodically sells student loans when these loans reach a stage
when processing can be more efficiently handled by agencies set up for that
purpose. During 1993, student loan sales gains were $1.8 million, compared with
$1.0 million in 1992 and $1.2 million in 1991.

Operating Expenses

      The operating expense analysis, presented in TABLE D (page 7), separates
expense categories of a more recurring nature from OREO and legal expenses
related to the workout of problem assets. Operating expenses, excluding OREO
and legal expenses, were $429.2 million in 1993, compared with $410.9 million
in 1992 and $381.1 million in 1991. The more significant changes in operating
expenses are discussed below.
      Salaries and benefits increased in 1993 to accommodate expanded business
opportunities. Furthermore, prior to the first quarter launch of BayFunds, a
qualified professional sales staff was recruited and trained. Mortgage staff
was added to handle the strong mortgage refinancing volume in 1993, and
additional personnel were necessary to handle higher consumer lending
activities, primarily automobile lending. Additional professional staff was
also required to accommodate higher sales volumes through BayBanks' Customer
Sales and Service Center.  In addition, salaries and benefits included normal
salary increases and higher employee benefit costs.

      Occupancy and equipment expenses declined due to reduced rent from
favorable lease renegotiations and expirations, lower telephone expenses due to
prior year realignments, and reduced equipment maintenance expenses.
      The increase in FDIC insurance expense in 1993 and 1992 was due to an
increase in FDIC insurance rates and an increased level of deposits. Marketing
and public relations expense increased in 1993 from 1992 due to higher
promotional activities associated with the launch of BayFunds and increased
advertising of consumer credit products. Service bureau and other data
processing expense increased due to increased processing volumes, and
professional services reflected a decline in general legal costs in 1993, which
had increased in 1992 from 1991 levels.
      The expense of administering, managing, and disposing of OREO properties
was $17.5 million in 1993, down from $18.5 million in 1992, as a result of a
reduction in legal expenses and the number of properties owned.

Provisions for Loan Losses and the OREO Reserve

      The provisions for loan losses and the OREO reserve (credit provisions)
declined substantially in 1993 from 1992 due to the continued improvement in
BayBanks' credit quality.
      Credit provisions were $61.3 million in 1993, down $91 million, or 60%,
from $152.3 million in 1992; credit provisions were $192.9 million in 1991. The
decline in the provision for loan losses from $106.8 million in 1992 to $36.5
million in 1993 accounted for the largest portion of the reduction. The OREO
provision was $24.8 million in 1993, down from $45.5 million in 1992. The OREO
provisions were net of gains from the sale of properties of $7.6 million in
1993 and $54 thousand in 1992.

Income Taxes

      The effective income tax rates for 1993 and 1992 were 41.0% and 38.1%,
respectively. BayBanks' current combined federal and state statutory tax rate
is approximately 43%. The lower rate in 1992 was affected by a federal
alternative minimum tax credit. The 1993 provision included a higher marginal
state tax rate for the Company due to proportionately higher Massachusetts bank
income in 1993, which is taxed at 12.54%, compared with 9.5% for nonbank
income, and also reflected the increase in the federal income tax rate from 34%
to 35%.
      During 1993, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) completed a review of the
Company's tax returns for the years 1986 through 1990 and has proposed certain
adjustments, primarily related to the timing of income and expense recognition,
that could result in additional taxes and interest payments. Should the IRS
prevail, a majority of the proposed adjustments would result in shifting tax
deductions from prior years to 1991 and 1992. The Company believes it has
strong support for its positions and has filed an appeal of the proposed
adjustments. The Company does not believe that future interest or tax payments
related to the proposed adjustments, if any, would have a material impact on
its results of operations or financial condition.
      Also during 1993, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," as described in Note 2 to the
financial statements. Adoption of Statement No. 109 did not have a material
effect on the Company's results of operations or financial condition.

BALANCE SHEET REVIEW

Trends in Earning Assets

      Average earning assets increased to $8.6 billion in 1993 from $8.4
billion in 1992. During 1993, the mix of average earning assets reflected the
smallest shift from loans to securities since 1989 (FIGURE 2). For 1993,
average loans were $5.9 billion, compared with $6.2 billion in 1992 (FIGURE 3).
However, average loan balances rose during the year, for a total average
increase of $106 million from the first to the fourth quarter of the year, and
at year-end 1993, total loans were $6.1 billion, up from $5.9 billion at
year-end 1992. Average securities portfolios increased from $2.3 billion in
1992 to $2.7 billion in 1993.

Loan Portfolio

      The Company maintains a diversified loan portfolio, with the consumer
portfolios representing 63% of the 1993 year-end portfolio, up from 59% at 1992
year-end. The commercial portfolios, commercial and commercial real estate
loans, account for the remaining 37% of the portfolio, compared with 41% in
1992. At December 31, 1993, the consumer portfolios included $2.6 billion in
instalment loans and $1.2 billion in residential mortgage loans. The majority
of the Company's commercial loans are to New England-based companies, primarily
local middle-market companies and small businesses in Massachusetts.
      Instalment loans were the source of BayBanks' loan portfolio growth
during 1993. Instalment lending benefited from increased promotional activities
and BayBanks' Customer Sales and Service Center, which operates 24 hours a day,
seven days a week, all year.
      The majority of residential real estate loans are sold to the secondary
market. Fixed-rate residential mortgage loans, approximately 75% of total loan
originations in 1993, are generally securitized and sold with servicing rights
retained.  Floating-rate residential real estate mortgage loans and some
selected 10- and 15-year fixed-rate loans are held in the residential real
estate loan portfolio or may be securitized and transferred to the securities
available for sale portfolio.
      From 1992 to 1993, loan portfolio net business volume increased from $708
million to $1.2 billion (TABLE E, page 9). During 1993, the increase in
instalment loan net business volume was $441 million, up substantially from
$145 million in 1992, led by gains in indirect automobile lending, where
BayBanks has a very strong market position. Student loan activity also
increased, from $118 million in 1992 to $135 million in 1993. Home equity
lending had a net business volume change of $104 million as the decline in 1992
reversed to a small increase in 1993. The majority of the growth in residential
mortgage loan portfolio net business volume was in fixed-rate refinancings sold
to the secondary market. Commercial loan volumes fluctuated somewhat during
1993 due to selected overnight money market-priced loans, international trade
finance activities, principally with Mexican banks (approximately $85 million
at 1993 year-end compared 

8
<PAGE>   6
with $45 million a year ago), and payments on  nonperforming loans.  However, 
the rate of decline in the commercial loan portfolio slowed from $165 million 
in 1992 to $53 million in 1993 as Massachusetts businesses showed some signs of 
recovery. Commercial real estate balances continued to reflect payments on 
nonperforming loans and scheduled amortization that exceeded new loan volume.

Securities Portfolios

      TABLE F presents the securities portfolios, which are comprised of
short-term investments, securities available for sale, and investment
securities. The total portfolio increased to $3.0 billion at December 31, 1993,
from $2.8 billion at year-end 1992 and $2.0 billion at year-end 1991. During
the past three years, BayBanks has shortened the

weighted average maturity of its securities portfolios in conjunction with the
portfolio repositioning previously discussed in the Net Interest Income
section, thus increasing its liquidity and responsiveness to potential changes
in interest rates. The weighted average maturity of the securities available
for sale and investment securities declined to 1.1 years at year-end 1993 from
1.5 years at year-end 1992. When short-term investments are included, the
weighted average maturity declined to .8 years at year-end 1993. Since the
repositioning reduced the average maturity of the securities portfolios, the
yields on these portfolios were also reduced.
         Short-term investments were $803 million at December 31, 1993,
compared with $1.1 billion at December 31, 1992. The decline in the balance of
short-term investments reflects the reinvestment of certain proceeds from
maturing short-term investments into the securities available for sale and
investment securities portfolios during 1993.
         Securities available for sale, consisting primarily of debt
securities, are stated at the lower of aggregate cost or market value.
Decisions to purchase or sell these securities are part of the Company's asset
and liability management process and are based on the assessment of changes in
economic and financial market conditions, interest rate environments, the
Company's balance sheet structure, interest sensitivity position, liquidity,
and capital. Securities available for sale were $629 million at December 31,
1993, compared with $1.5 billion at year-end 1992 as maturities were reinvested
in the investment securities portfolio. At December 31, 1993, securities
available for sale had gross unrealized gains of $4 million and gross
unrealized losses of $5 thousand.
         The investment securities portfolio, principally debt securities, is
stated at amortized cost. This basis for valuation reflects management's
intention and ability to hold these securities until maturity. The Company's
investment securities portfolio was $1.6 billion at December 31, 1993, compared
with $156 million at December 31, 1992.  During 1993, investment securities
increased due to purchases and the transfer of $495 million in securities
available for sale to this category. These securities were transferred at
amortized cost since they had an unrealized gain. At December 31, 1993, gross
unrealized gains in the investment securities portfolio were $7 million, and
gross unrealized losses were $911 thousand.
         BayBanks' investment securities portfolio includes U.S. Treasury and
Agency securities, as well as state and

                                   [FIGURE 4]

local government securities (principally tax anticipation notes) and industrial
revenue bonds. State and local government securities totaled $129 million at
December 31, 1993, with the single largest issue being under $7 million. Of
this total portfolio, $113 million were securities rated investment grade and
$16 million were unrated.  All municipal securities are subject to an internal
credit review process that assigns a rating to the securities.  Industrial
revenue bonds, $60 million at December 31, 1993, are also subject to an
internal credit review process. While there is no ready market for the
Company's holdings of industrial revenue bonds, management has determined that,
based on periodic private placement quotes, their amortized cost is a
reasonable estimate of market value.
         Trading account securities, consisting of debt securities, are
recorded at market value, which was $15 million at December 31, 1993. Trading
account gains were $2.3 million in 1993 and $2.2 million in 1992.

Deposits and Other Sources of Funds

         The Company's extensive banking system includes 201 full-service
offices and 356 automated banking facilities, with a total of 1,009 ATMs that
generate significant core deposits, which accounted for over 99% of total
average deposits in 1993 and 1992.  Contributing to this strong core deposit
position is BayBanks' state-of-the-art Customer Sales and Service Center.
         Core deposits include transaction accounts (demand, NOW, and savings
accounts), money market deposit accounts (MMDA), and consumer time certificates
(FIGURE 4).





10

<PAGE>   8
         Average core deposits were $8.6 billion in 1993. Within the core
deposit categories, there has been a shift in mix to lower-cost transaction
accounts, with average balances increasing $464 million in 1993 to $4.6
billion, which had a positive effect on the Company's net interest margin.
         Higher-cost MMDA accounts and consumer certificates of deposit
declined by $431 million in 1993. Average MMDAs declined $169 million to $2.9
billion in 1993 from 1992, and average consumer time deposits declined $262
million to $1.1 billion. In addition, average certificates of deposit in excess
of $100 thousand (CDs) remain at relatively low levels, $33 million in 1993,
compared with $58 million in 1992.
         In addition, BayFunds, the Company's family of six mutual funds,
extends BayBanks' product lines and provides additional balance sheet
flexibility and fee income. At December 31, 1993, BayFunds had increased by
$390 million to $1.1 billion (from initial fund balances that were converted to
BayFunds). The conversion included three employee benefit plan funds, and a
corporate cash management product that includes a corporate sweep feature, that
with an existing money market fund aggregated $730 million at the date of
transfer. Cash management balances fluctuated during 1993 according to the
liquidity preferences of BayBanks' business customers, while consumer accounts
have grown steadily.
         Purchased funds increased to $508 million at December 31, 1993, from
$140 million a year ago as the Company increased its short-term investments
late in the fourth quarter. The Company may continue to maintain this slightly
higher shorter-term investment position funded by purchased funds as a way of
taking advantage of its strong capital position. While net interest income
should increase, the net interest margin may decline somewhat, reflecting lower
spreads on these additional investments.  

Interest Rate Risk Management and Liquidity

         BayBanks' Capital Markets Committee closely monitors and manages the
overall on- and off-balance sheet interest sensitivity position, short-term
investments and the securities portfolios, funding, and liquidity. Interest
sensitivity, as measured by the Company's gap position, is affected by the
level and direction of interest rates and current liquidity preferences of its
customers. These factors, as well as projected balance sheet growth, current
and potential pricing actions, competitive influences, national monetary and
fiscal policy, the national and regional economic environment, and current and
expected behavior of financial and capital markets, are considered in the asset
and liability management decision process.
         The Company's interest sensitivity gap position in TABLE G is first
presented based on contractual maturities and repricing opportunities. In a
period of rising or falling interest rates this basis of presentation does not
reflect lags that may occur in the repricing of certain loans and deposits. For
example, certain interest-bearing core deposit categories may lag changes in
market interest rates, although the Company contractually could change the
rates at any time. A management adjustment provides for these expected
repricing lags. The management adjustment also recognizes that interest rate
changes in these core deposit categories are not as sensitive to changes in
market interest rates.
         In addition to the gap analysis presented in the table, the Company
also uses a simulation model under varying interest rate scenarios, including
the effect of rapid changes (both increases and decreases up to 200 basis
points) in interest rates on its net interest income and net interest margin.
The Company's policy is to minimize volatility in its net interest income and
net interest margin.

         At December 31, 1993, the Company's adjusted gap for the total
within-180-day period decreased from a negative gap of $304 million at December
31, 1992, to a positive gap of $116 million at December 31, 1993, primarily as
the result of the continued shortening of the securities portfolio during 1992.
The total within-one-year gap reflected similar changes, moving from negative
$358 million to a positive $132 million. The Company believes its overall
management-adjusted gap is essentially neutral, and therefore the effect of a
change in market interest rates on net interest income should not be
significant.
         Liquidity, for commercial banking activities, is the ability to
respond to maturing obligations, deposit withdrawals, and loan demand. The
liquidity positions of the Company's bank subsidiaries are closely monitored by
the Company's Capital Markets Committee. BayBanks' retail network provides a
stable base of in-market core deposits and limits the need to raise funds from
the national market.
         The Company's net liquidity position (short-term investments,
securities available for sale, and investment securities, less pledged
securities, large CDs, and federal funds purchased) continues to be strong and
was $2.3 billion at December 31, 1993 and 1992 (FIGURE 5). The Company has
additional liquidity flexibility due to the relatively short average maturity
of less than one year of its combined short-term investments and securities
portfolios. This substantial liquidity position enabled BayBanks to increase
its investment securities portfolio during 1993 as described above.
         An analysis of the changes in cash flows provides additional
information on liquidity. The statement of cash flows presented elsewhere in
this report includes operating, investing, and financing categories. Operating
activities included $67.7 million in net income for 1993, before adjustments
for noncash items. Investing activities are primarily comprised of both
proceeds from and purchases of securities, short-term investment activity, and
net loan originations. Financing activities present the net change in the
Company's various deposit accounts, short-term borrowings, and dividends paid.
         Cash and cash equivalents were $734 million on January 1, 1993. During
1993, net cash provided by operating activities was $284 million, net cash used
by investing activities totaled $529 million, and net cash provided by
financing activities was $144 million. Cash and cash equivalents were $633
million at December 31, 1993.
         The parent company's primary sources of liquidity are dividend and
interest income received from its subsidiaries.  The most significant uses of
the parent company's resources are capital contributions to subsidiaries when
appropriate and dividends paid to stockholders. In managing liquidity,
regulatory limitations on the extent to which bank subsidiaries can pay
dividends or supply funds to the parent company are taken into account, as
discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements. During 1993, the parent
company provided $22 million in capital to its subsidiaries. During 1993, the
parent company received a total of $17 million in dividends from its
subsidiaries, of which $10 million was from a banking subsidiary and $7 million
was from a nonbank subsidiary, and paid $17 million in dividends to its
stockholders. At December 31, 1993, the parent company had approximately $69
million in cash, short-term investments, and other securities.  The parent
company does not sell commercial paper and does not have any revolving credit
lines or short-term debt outstanding.

CREDIT QUALITY REVIEW

Overview

         The Company continually monitors its loan portfolios. Employing a
standard system for grading loans, individual account officers are responsible
for assigning their loans a grade and, if necessary, a specific loan loss
reserve. An independent Loan Review Department reviews loan grades and specific
reserves. Any loan or portion of a loan determined to be uncollectible is
charged off. On a quarterly basis, senior management reviews the loan
portfolio, with particular emphasis on higher-risk loans,



12

<PAGE>   10
to assess the quality and loss potential inherent in the portfolio, considering
the Company's market and economic conditions in general. Also considered in
this review are historic loan loss experience, delinquency trends, and other
factors. The size of the allowance for loan losses and the related provision
for loan losses reflect this analysis.
         Nonperforming assets (which exclude restructured, accruing loans and
accruing loans 90 days or more past due) include nonperforming loans and OREO
and were $224 million at December 31, 1993, a 41% decrease from $376 million at
December 31, 1992.  Nonperforming assets continued the downward trend that
began in 1991 (FIGURE 6). While the Company expects to experience continued
improvement in nonperforming assets, the pace of that improvement will depend
on many factors, including the national and regional economy and local real
estate market conditions.
         During 1993, the decline in nonperforming assets (TABLE H) was
attributed to continued successful workout activities that included an increase
in property sales, payments on nonperforming loans, and loans that qualified
for return to accrual status.  These favorable resolutions climbed to $181
million in 1993 from $138 million in 1992, while at the same time there has
been a reduction in net 

                                  [FIGURE 6]

new nonperforming assets, which were down from $181 million in 1992 to $106 
million in 1993. The combination of these two favorable trends resulted in a 
net outflow of nonperforming assets of $75 million in 1993, compared with a net
inflow of $43 million in 1992.

<PAGE>   11
Nonperforming Loans

         Nonperforming loans (TABLE I, page 13) declined 39% to $110 million at
December 31, 1993, from $181 million at December 31, 1992; nonperforming
commercial loans decreased 42% to $48 million while nonperforming commercial
real estate loans declined 38% to $49 million during this period. Trends in
nonperforming consumer portfolios (residential mortgage and instalment loans)
were also positive, as they declined 32% to $13 million during the year.

Other Real Estate Owned (OREO)

         OREO consists of foreclosed properties and in-substance foreclosures.
Foreclosed properties are being prepared for sale or are currently listed for
sale. The Company is also involved in managing in-substance foreclosures,
taking operating control to stabilize values while the properties are being
prepared for sale, or working closely with borrowers to obtain new equity.
         OREO (net of a valuation reserve) declined by $82 million, or 42%,
from $196 million at December 31, 1992, to $114 million at December 31, 1993,
primarily due to property sales. OREO declined in all major property types. The
five largest properties ranged from $5 million down to $3 million, with the
majority of OREO comprised of smaller dollar properties.

Restructured, Accruing Loans

         The Company restructures credits with troubled borrowers if such
arrangements are likely to minimize losses the Company may incur on a
particular credit. Loans that have been restructured remain on nonaccrual
status until the borrower has demonstrated a period of performance under the
new contractual terms. The restructured, accruing category is reported as a
separate component of the Company's credit quality information, and income on
restructured loans is recognized in interest income based upon the restructured
terms. Restructured, accruing loans were $18 million at year-end 1993, compared
with $12 million at year-end 1992.

Accruing Loans 90 Days or More Past Due

         Accruing loans 90 days or more past due (TABLE J) were $52 million at
December 31, 1993, compared with $92 million at December 31, 1992. Of the $52
million in accruing loans past due 90 days or more at December 31, 1993, $21
million were residential mortgages and $22 million were instalment loans; these
consumer portfolios together represented 83% of the total. Of the $21 million
in residential mortgages, $17 million were in owner-occupied properties.
Residential mortgages and instalment loans by their nature include a large
number of smaller loans. Commercial and commercial real estate accruing loans
90 days or more past due at December 31, 1993, declined significantly from
December 31, 1992, from $36 million to $9 million.

Allowance for Loan Losses

         The allowance for loan losses is increased by the provision for loan
losses and is reduced by net loans charged off. Net loans charged off were $58
million in 1993, compared with $127 million in 1992. Most of the reduction in
charge-offs was in commercial and commercial real estate loans. The provision
for loan losses was $36.5 million in 1993, compared with $106.8 million in
1992. Since older problem assets are being resolved and the rate of emerging
problem assets continued to decline, the allowance for loan losses was not
replenished to the full extent of net charge-offs. The allowance for loan
losses was $171 million at December 31, 1993, and $193 million at December 31,
1992. While the overall allowance declined, its coverage of nonperforming loans
increased to 156% at December 31, 1993, from 107% at December 31, 1992, and 95%
at December 31, 1991.

      The allowance for loan losses consists of both allocated and unallocated
portions. The allocated portion represents amounts within the total allowance
assigned to specifically identified problem loans. The unallocated portion is
the amount set aside to cover the risk of loss that is not specifically
identified as to any individual loan, but that is inherent in any loan
portfolio.  The unallocated allowance is calculated by migrating each loan
category by that category's recent loan loss experience. The process involves
analysis of loan grade loss histories and trends for each type of loan.
Economic factors and trends are also considered when determining the total
unallocated portion of the allowance. Statistical modeling is the primary
methodology for determining the amount of the allowance apportioned to the
consumer portfolios (residential and instalment loans). However, it is
considered unallocated in nature. TABLE K presents the allocation of the
allowance for loan losses at December 31, 1993.

CAPITAL AND DIVIDENDS
         BayBanks' consolidated risk-based capital ratios were 12.40% for total
capital and 10.68% for core capital at December 31, 1993, compared with 12.30%
and 10.37% at December 31, 1992 (FIGURE 7). The leverage ratio was 7.26% at
December 31, 1993, compared with 6.79% at December 31, 1992. These ratios
exceeded regulatory capital guidelines.
         During 1992, the Company completed a public offering of 2.3 million
shares of common stock that raised $79 million in capital. The Company
contributed $22 million in capital to its subsidiaries during 1993 and $8
million in 1992. The remaining funds were held by the parent company in cash
and securities portfolios at December 31, 1993. The parent company from time to
time may contribute additional capital to its subsidiaries.
         The Company reinstated its quarterly cash dividend in the first
quarter of 1993 at an initial rate of $.20 per share; an equal amount was paid
in the second quarter. In the third quarter of 1993, the Company increased its
quarterly cash dividend to $.25 per share, which dividend was also paid in the
fourth quarter. Total dividends declared for 1993 were $.90. On January 27,
1994, the Board of Directors raised the quarterly dividend amount when it
declared a dividend of $.35 per

years is presented in FIGURE 8. The closing price on December 31, 1993, was

IMPENDING ACCOUNTING CHANGES
         In 1992, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement No. 112, "Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits."
Statement No. 112 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
1993. In management's opinion, the adoption of Statement No. 112, as further
described in Note 11 to the financial statements, will not have a material
effect on the Company's results of operations or financial condition.
         In May 1993, the FASB issued Statement No. 114, "Accounting by
Creditors for Impairment of a Loan." This statement is effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 1994. Adoption of Statement No. 114 will
require changes in the disclosure of nonperforming assets. Loans currently
being reported as nonperforming and in-substance foreclosures will be reported
as impaired loans in a note to the financial statements. Restructured loans,
reported as troubled debt restructuring prior to the adoption of Statement No.
114, will not be regarded as impaired loans when the statement is adopted if
they are performing under the restructured terms. Troubled debt restructurings
entered into after the adoption of Statement No. 114 will be accounted for as
impaired loans. The amount of impairment will be determined by the difference
between the present value of the expected cash flows related to the loan using
the contract rate and its recorded value, or in the case of collateralized
loans, the difference between the appraised value of the collateral and the
recorded amount of the loan. Any additional impairment will be recorded as an
adjustment to the existing allowance for loan losses account. The adoption of
Statement No. 114 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's
results of operations or financial condition.
         In May of 1993, the FASB issued Statement No. 115, "Accounting for
Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities." This statement is effective
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1993. The adoption of Statement
No. 115 requires securities available for sale to be recorded at fair value.
Changes in the fair value of securities available for sale will be recorded in
a valuation account in the stockholders' equity section of the balance sheet,
net of tax. The adoption of Statement No. 115 is expected to have an effect on
the Company's financial condition, as changes in the fair value of securities
available for sale will occur and will be reflected in stockholders' equity. If
Statement No. 115 had been adopted as of December 31, 1993, the estimated
after-tax effect on the Company's stockholders' equity for the unrealized gain
on the securities available for sale portfolio would have been to increase the
stockholders' equity account by approximately $2.5 million.

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of BayBanks, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of BayBanks, Inc.,
and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the related consolidated
statements of income, changes in stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each
of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1993. These
consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of BayBanks, Inc., and
subsidiaries at December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the results of their operations
and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended
December 31, 1993 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTE 1. (CONTINUED)

BayBanks, Inc., the parent company, has not sold commercial paper and does not
have any revolving credit lines or other short-term debt outstanding that
relies on credit ratings from public rating agencies. A significant source of
funds used by the parent company for operating activities and the payment of
dividends to shareholders is dividends received from its banking and other
subsidiaries.

The payment of dividends by national and state banks is generally limited by
statute to their retained earnings, after deducting losses and statutorily
defined bad debts in excess of established allowances for loan losses. The
payment of dividends by national banks is further limited by statute to the
current year's net income plus the undistributed net income of the two
preceding years. The Company's bank subsidiaries are also required to achieve
and maintain certain minimum capital ratios under applicable regulatory
guidelines. Banking regulators also have authority to prohibit banks and bank
holding companies from paying dividends if they deem payment to be an unsafe or
unsound practice. As of December 31, 1993, the Company's bank subsidiaries
could have declared dividends of approximately $53 million while remaining in
compliance with the foregoing statutory limitations and remaining "well
capitalized" under regulatory capital guidelines. Any decision to declare a
dividend by the Company or any of its subsidiaries must also consider
additional factors, including the amount of current period net income,
liquidity, asset quality, and economic conditions and trends.

Federal law also imposes limitations on the extent to which the Company's bank
subsidiaries may finance or otherwise supply funds to the Company and its
nonbank subsidiaries. Such transactions with the Company and each of its
nonbank subsidiaries are limited to 10% of each subsidiary bank's capital and
surplus. There is also a 20% limit on each bank's aggregate covered
transactions with the Company and all of its nonbank subsidiaries. At December
31, 1993, the Company had no borrowings outstanding from any of its
subsidiaries, and one of the Company's nonbank subsidiaries had a secured loan
of $38,021,000 outstanding from a bank subsidiary, representing 6.3% of the
aggregate capital and surplus of the bank subsidiaries.

The Company has a Stockholders Rights Plan under which stock purchase rights
have been distributed to the Company's stockholders. The rights may become
exercisable in the event of certain unsolicited attempts to acquire the
Company. The rights, which expire in December 1998, become exercisable 10
business days after a person, including a group, acquires 20% or more of the
Company's outstanding common stock or commences a tender offer that would
result in such person owning 25% or more of such stock or the Board of
Directors determines that a person owning 10% or more of such stock is an
"adverse person." If any person becomes the owner of 25% or more of the
outstanding common stock or the Board determines that a person is an adverse
person, the rights of holders other than such owner or adverse person become
rights to buy shares of common stock of the Company (or of the acquiring
company if the Company is acquired in certain mergers or other business
combinations) having a market value of twice the exercise price of each right,
with the result that such owner's or adverse person's interest in the Company
would be substantially diluted. The Company may redeem the right, at a price of
$.01 per right, until 10 business days after a person acquires 20% or more of
the outstanding common stock or the Board has determined that a person is an
adverse person.

NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PRESENTATION - The consolidated financial statements of the Company
and its subsidiaries follow generally accepted accounting principles and
reporting practices applicable to the banking industry. Material intercompany
transactions have been eliminated. Certain prior years' amounts have been
reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.

INTEREST-BEARING DEPOSITS AND OTHER SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS - Consists of
federal funds sold and securities purchased under resale agreements of
$541,260,000 in 1993 and $368,750,000 in 1992, respectively, and debt
securities with maturities of less than 90 days. Debt securities are reported
at amortized cost, which approximates market value.

TRADING ACCOUNT SECURITIES - Consists primarily of municipal securities held
for resale to customers. These securities  are recorded at market value.

SECURITIES - Securities available for sale, consisting principally
of debt securities, are stated at the lower of aggregate amortized cost or
market value. Decisions to purchase or sell these securities as part of the
Company's ongoing asset and liability management process are based on
management's assessment of changes in economic and financial market conditions,
interest rate environments, the Company's balance sheet and its interest
sensitivity position, liquidity, and capital. The cost of securities sold is
determined by the specific identification method.

The investment securities portfolio, principally debt securities, is stated at
cost, adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount using a
level yield method. This basis for valuation reflects management's intention
and ability to hold these securities until maturity.

INTEREST RATE SWAP AGREEMENTS - The Company uses interest rate swap agreements
to manage its interest rate exposure. Income or expense on these agreements is
recorded as an adjustment to the yield on the underlying asset or liability.

LOANS - Interest income on most loans is accrued on the principal amount of
loans outstanding. Unearned income on leases and loans made on a discount
basis, $24,248,000 at year-end 1993 and $25,819,000 at year-end 1992, is
credited to interest income on a basis that results in approximately level
rates of return over the term of the lease or loan. Certain loan fees and
credit card fees, net of qualifying origination costs, are deferred and
amortized over the life of the related loan or commitment period. Deferred loan
and credit card fees, included in unearned income, were $11,353,000 and
$10,577,000 at year-end 1993 and 1992, respectively.

The Company engages in certain mortgage banking activities through a mortgage
subsidiary. Mortgage loans originated and held for sale are carried at the
lower of aggregate cost or market value, and gains and losses are determined
using the specific identification method. Loans sold with servicing retained
may give rise to a mortgage servicing asset that is amortized over the period
during which the servicing income is expected to be earned. Prepayment
assumptions that affect the determination of mortgage servicing rights are
reviewed periodically, and the amortization is adjusted to reflect current
circumstances. At December 31, 1993, mortgage loans held for sale were
$138,376,000, loans serviced for others were $2.0 billion, and excess mortgage
servicing rights were $4,213,000.

Loans are placed on nonaccrual and are considered nonperforming when payment of
principal or interest is considered to be in doubt. In addition, all loans past
due 90 days or more as to principal or interest are placed on nonaccrual status
except for certain consumer loans and those loans which, in management's
judgment, are adequately secured and for which collection is probable.
Previously accrued income that has not been collected is

NOTE 2. (CONTINUED)

reversed from current income, and subsequent cash receipts are applied to
reduce the unpaid principal balance. Loans are returned to accrual status when
collection of all contractual principal and interest is reasonably assured and
there has been sustained repayment performance.  Nonperforming loans were
$110,001,000 at year-end 1993 and $180,580,000 at year-end 1992. Interest
income earned during the year on year-end nonperforming loans was approximately
$960,000; if these loans had been performing under contractual terms, interest
would have been approximately $8,300,000. In 1992, these amounts were
$4,300,000 and $14,900,000, respectively.

Loans are classified as restructured, accruing loans when the Company has
granted, for economic or legal reasons related to the borrower's financial
difficulties, a concession to the customer that the Company would not otherwise
consider. Such concessions can be any one or a combination of the following
modifications to the terms of the debt: the reduction of the stated interest
rate for the remaining original life of the debt; extension of the maturity
date at a stated interest rate lower than the current market rate for new debt
with similar risk; reduction of the face amount or maturity amount of the debt
as stated in the debt instrument; and reduction of accrued interest.
Restructured, accruing loans were $18,398,000 and $12,084,000 at December 31,
1993 and 1992, respectively. During 1993 and 1992, interest income recorded on
these loans approximated a market interest rate and in the aggregate was not
significantly different had these loans performed according to their original
terms. There are no commitments to lend additional funds to these borrowers.

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES - Loans considered to be uncollectible are charged to
the allowance for loan losses. Additions to the allowance are provided by
recoveries of previously charged-off loans and by the provision for loan losses
in amounts sufficient to maintain the adequacy of the allowance. The adequacy
is determined by management's evaluation of potential losses in the portfolio,
economic conditions, historical net charge-offs, and anticipated portfolio
growth. Included in the allowance are amounts allocated to specific loans,
amounts allocated to other loans that may become uncollectible but cannot be
individually identified, and unallocated amounts. Management believes that the
allowance for loan losses is adequate.

Various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process,
periodically review the allowance for loan losses of the Company's
subsidiaries. Such agencies can require the Company to recognize additions to
the allowance based on regulatory judgments of information available at the
time of their examination.

OTHER REAL ESTATE OWNED - Other real estate owned (OREO) consists of foreclosed
properties and in-substance foreclosures. Loans are classified as in-substance
foreclosures under the following circumstances: when the debtor has little or
no equity in the collateral, considering the current fair value of the
collateral; and when proceeds for repayment of the loan can be expected to come
only from the operation or sale of the collateral; and when the debtor has
either formally or effectively abandoned control of the collateral to the
creditor or retained control of the collateral, but, because of the current
financial condition of the debtor, or the economic prospects for the debtor
and/or the collateral in the foreseeable future, it is doubtful that the debtor
will be able to rebuild equity in the collateral or otherwise repay the loan in
the foreseeable future.

Other real estate owned is recorded at the lower of the book value of the loan
or the fair value of the asset acquired, less estimated disposition costs. The
excess, if any, of the loan amount over the fair value of the asset acquired is
charged off against the allowance for loan losses. Pursuant to the adoption of
accounting Statement





24

<PAGE>   22
NOTE 2. (CONTINUED)

of Position (SOP) 92-3, "Accounting for Foreclosed Assets," which became
effective for periods ending after December 15, 1992, subsequent changes in the
value of OREO (including in-substance foreclosures) are recorded directly to an
OREO reserve. These changes in the OREO reserve are included in total operating
expenses. Proceeds in excess of the carrying value at the time of sale are
recorded as a reduction in the provision for the OREO reserve. Prior to the
adoption of SOP 92-3 at December 31, 1992, changes in the value of OREO were
recorded directly to the value of the property. Expenses to administer these
properties are charged to operating expense as incurred.

INCOME TAXES - In February 1992, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for
Income Taxes," effective January 1, 1993. The Company adopted Statement No. 109
as of January 1, 1993.

Statement No. 109 changed the Company's method of accounting for income taxes
from the deferred method to the asset and liability method. The objective of
the asset and liability method is to establish



deferred tax assets and liabilities for the temporary differences between the
financial reporting basis and the tax basis of the Company's assets and
liabilities at enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when such amounts are
realized or settled. A valuation allowance, if necessary, is established to
provide for 

NOTE 2. (CONTINUED)

deferred tax assets that are not expected to be realized. Adoption
of Statement No. 109 did not have a material effect on the Company's results of
operations or financial condition.

Prior to adoption of Statement No. 109, the Company accounted for income taxes
under Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 11. Under APB Opinion No.
11, deferred taxes were provided for all significant items of income and
expense that were recognized in different periods for financial reporting and
income tax purposes.

EARNINGS PER SHARE - Earnings per common share are computed by dividing net
income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and dilutive
common stock equivalents (stock options) for each period presented. Average
dilutive common stock equivalents were 282,175 for 1993 and 150,328 for 1992.
The dual presentation of primary and fully diluted earnings per common share is
not presented, since the difference from earnings per share is less than 3%.

NOTE 3. FEDERAL RESERVE ACCOUNT BALANCES

The Company's banks are required to maintain average reserve balances with the
Federal Reserve Bank. These balances can be either in the form of vault cash or
funds left on deposit with the Federal Reserve Bank. The average amount of
these balances was $305,379,000 for 1993 and $290,287,000 for 1992.

other short-term investments) were:

</TABLE>

The year-end maturity distribution excludes industrial revenue bonds, which are
not regarded as principal debt securities, and mortgage-backed and asset-backed
securities.

The book value of securities pledged to secure public and trust deposits and
repurchase agreements, and to meet other legal requirements was $676,934,000 at
December 31, 1993.

During 1993, proceeds from sales of securities available for sale were
$331,550,000, resulting in realized gains of $439,000. There were $28,000 in
realized losses from the sales of these securities.

During 1992, proceeds from sales of securities available for sale were
$1,192,000,000, and proceeds from sales of investment securities were
$1,262,000,000, resulting in realized gains of $41,123,000 and $37,506,000,
respectively. There were $1,700,000 in realized losses from the sales of
investment securities.

In 1993, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and
Equity Securities." Statement No. 115, which will be effective in 1994, changes
the accounting for short-term investments and the securities portfolios. The
Company's current balance sheet classifications conform with Statement No.
115. However, beginning in 1994, changes in the fair value of the securities
available for sale portfolio will be recorded directly to a separate category
of stockholders' equity. Currently, securities available for sale are valued at
the lower of aggregate cost or market, and changes therein are recorded
directly to earnings.  At December 31, 1993, the fair value of the securities
available for sale exceeded their cost by $4,443,000, or $2,526,000 on an
after-tax basis, and thus, stockholders' equity would have increased by that
amount if Statement No. 115 had been in effect at year-end.

NOTE 5. LOANS TO RELATED PARTIES

Loans outstanding to executive officers and directors of the Company and its
principal subsidiaries consist primarily of loans made to executive officers
and related business interests of certain directors; these loans were
$32,193,000 and $20,954,000 at December 31, 1993, and December 31, 1992,
respectively. An analysis of the activity during the year for loans outstanding
at year-end is as follows:

These loans were made in the ordinary course of business under normal credit
terms, including interest rates and collateralization prevailing at the time
for comparable transactions with other persons, and do not represent more than
a normal risk of collection.

NOTE 7. PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT

Premises and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and
amortization. Depreciation on buildings is computed primarily on a
straight-line basis with estimated lives ranging from 25 to 50 years. Furniture
and equipment useful lives generally range from 3 to 10 years. Leasehold
improvements are amortized over their useful life or lease term, whichever is
shorter.

NOTE 9. LONG-TERM DEBT

In September 1985, the Company issued $50,000,000 in floating-rate notes. The
notes will mature on September 30, 1997, and pay interest at a rate, adjusted
quarterly, of 1/8 of 1% above the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) for
three-month Eurodollar deposits. During 1993 the weighted average rate paid was
3.43%, and at December 31, 1993, the rate was 3.44%. The proceeds were used in
the funding of the affiliate banks on identical terms. The notes may be
redeemed by the Company in whole or in part at any time at 100% of the
principal amount plus accrued interest.

The Company's 5% debentures, due January 15, 1994, were convertible into common
stock of the Company at $13.75 per share, for which purpose 3,709 shares were
reserved at December 31, 1993, and were redeemable at the option of the Company
at 100% of the principal amount. At December 31, 1993, the debentures totaled
$51,000. The debentures were paid in full at maturity.

The balance of long-term debt at December 31, 1993, includes mortgage debt at
two subsidiaries totaling $4,097,000. The monthly payment amounts of the
mortgages totaled $40,000 in 1993 with final maturities from 1994 to 2013.
Obligations on capitalized leases totaled $340,000 at December 31, 1993.

NOTE 10. EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTION PLANS

NOTE 10. (CONTINUED)

Prices of shares under option at December 31, 1993, ranged from $13.75 to
$45.00, and options for 426,228 shares were exercisable.  Unless exercised, the
options will expire at varying dates through 2003. There was no compensation
expense recorded in the years presented related to stock options.

In addition to the above, the Company had a restricted stock plan, which
expired in 1992. As of December 31, 1993, 400,000 shares had been awarded.
Certificates for shares awarded were issued in the name of the employee, who
has all the rights of a shareholder, with the shares subject to certain
restrictions. At December 31, 1993, such restrictions remained on 181,395
shares outstanding. The certificates are held by the Company until the
restrictions lapse or the shares are forfeited. Restriction periods vary from 1
to 10 years from the date of grant. During 1993, restrictions on 59,328 shares
lapsed, and 11,446 shares were forfeited. The fair market value of awarded
shares was previously recorded as deferred compensation as a segregation of
surplus that is amortized to benefits expense over the restriction period. The
unamortized amounts were $1,451,000 at December 31, 1993, $2,952,000 at
December 31, 1992, and $1,337,000 at December 31, 1991. Compensation expense
related to restricted stock grants, net of forfeitures, was $1,099,000 in 1993,
$2,232,000 in 1992, and $860,000 in 1991.

NOTE 11. BENEFITS

The Company and its subsidiaries provide a noncontributory defined benefit
pension plan that covers substantially all employees.  Benefits are based upon
length of service and qualifying compensation during the final years of
employment. Contributions are made to the plan as costs are accrued. Assets
held by the plan consist primarily of government securities and common stock.

The table below sets forth the plan's funded status and amounts recognized at
December 31, 1993, 1992, and 1991.

In addition to the above, the Company provides supplemental retirement
benefits, the cost of which was $480,969 in 1993, $419,250 in 1992, and
$376,000 in 1991.

The Company has a savings and profit sharing plan that is interrelated with an
employee stock ownership plan (ESOP). Under these plans, employees of the
Company and its subsidiaries are eligible to receive benefits upon completion
of certain service requirements, with a portion of such benefits payable under
the ESOP in shares of the Company's common stock. In 1989, the ESOP borrowed
$18,600,000 from a third party to purchase 800,000 shares of the Company's
common stock. This loan, unconditionally guaranteed by the Company, is payable
in eight increasing instalments that began on January 31, 1990.

At December 31, 1993, the balance of the ESOP loan was $12,241,000, and
unallocated ESOP shares were 526,495. During 1993, ESOP expense of $2,566,000
included an accrual to cover the loan payment due on January 31, 1994, and
interest expense on the ESOP loan of $455,000. The amount of dividends used to
service the debt, which were paid on shares held by the ESOP, was $697,000 in
1993; there were no dividends paid in 1992 and 1991.

Apart from the contributions to the ESOP, the Company made no contributions to
the savings and profit sharing plan in 1993, 1992, or 1991. As of December 31,
1993, accumulated ESOP benefits totaling $2,647,000 will reduce future
contributions to the savings and profit sharing plan.

NOTE 11. (CONTINUED)

The Company has a plan providing severance benefits for certain employees of
the Company and its subsidiaries with respect to certain terminations of
employment within two years after a change in control of the Company.
Approximately 3,500 employees are potentially eligible for benefits under the
plan. Existing compensation and benefit plans have been amended to protect
previously earned compensation and future benefits in the event of a change in
control of the Company.

The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 106,
"Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions" as of
January 1, 1993. Statement No. 106 requires a calculation of the present value
of expected benefits to be paid to employees after their retirement and an
allocation of those benefits to the periods in which employees render service
to earn the benefits. For employees retiring prior to December 31, 1993, the
Company provided $5,000 of life insurance and a Medicare premium supplement and
permitted those under 65 to participate in the Company's medical plan by paying
the full group rate; full-time employees pay approximately 25% of the group
rate. Those retiring after December 31, 1993, will not receive the Medicare
supplement and will pay premiums for life and medical insurance reflecting the
Company's full cost of coverage for retirees.

The initial transition obligation associated with the adoption of Statement No.
106 was $3,600,000. In accordance with the statement, the Company will
recognize this liability over the remaining service periods of plan
participants. Since eligibility for these Company-subsidized benefits ceased at
December 31, 1993, this period ranges from approximately five years for the
medical insurance to thirteen years for the life insurance and Medicare
supplements.

The table below sets forth the plan's funded status and amounts recognized at
December 31, 1993.

Postretirement benefit expense was $619,000 in 1993.

In 1992, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 112, "Employers' Accounting for Postemployment
Benefits."  Statement No. 112, which will be effective in 1994, covers all
postemployment benefits not already covered by the two prior accounting
pronouncements. Adoption of Statement No. 112 will result in an additional
accrual of postemployment benefits of $1,600,000, of which the after-tax amount
of approximately $1,000,000 will be recorded in the first quarter of 1994. The
recurring annual cost of postemployment benefits to former employees is
estimated at approximately $250,000.  This amount is comparable to the annual
cost incurred in 1993.

NOTE 15.  FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH CREDIT RISK AND OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK

CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK - The Company is a commercial banking
organization, providing diversified financial services to individuals,
businesses, governmental units, and other banks. The Company provides a
comprehensive range of credit, non-credit, and international banking products
and services to the New England region, with particular emphasis in the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and accordingly is affected by general economic
conditions in the region.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK - In the normal course of business, the Company uses
various off-balance sheet commitments and financial

NOTE 15. (CONTINUED)

instruments for interest rate risk management purposes and to accommodate
certain financing requirements of customers. These commitments and financial
instruments may include loan commitments, interest rate swaps, standby letters
of credit, loans sold with recourse, letters of credit, forward contracts,
interest rate caps, and interest rate floors. These instruments involve varying
degrees of credit and market risk in excess of the amounts included in the
consolidated balance sheet. The contract or notional amounts of these
instruments reflect the extent of the Company's involvement in each particular
class of financial instrument.

The Company's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the
counterparty to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit,
standby letters of credit, and financial guarantees under recourse arrangements
is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Company uses
the same credit policies in extending commitments and conditional obligations
as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. For interest rate swaps, caps, and
floors, the contract or notional amounts do not represent an exposure to credit
loss. The Company controls the credit risk of its interest rate swap agreements
through credit approvals, limits, and monitoring procedures in conjunction with
its interest rate risk management activities. Unless otherwise noted, the
Company does not require collateral or other security to support financial
instruments with credit risk.

Off-balance sheet financial instruments at December 31, 1993 and 1992, were as
follows:

</TABLE>

LOAN COMMITMENTS, LETTERS OF CREDIT, AND STANDBY LETTERS OF CREDIT - Loan
commitments and letters of credit are granted under the same credit policies
used for on-balance sheet outstandings. Commitments are subject to various
terms and conditions that have to be met before being drawn upon and have a
fixed expiration date. The nature of many commitments is such that they are
expected to expire without being drawn upon, thus not requiring future funding
by the Company.

Letters of credit are documents, principally related to export and import trade
transactions, issued by the Company on behalf of its customers in favor of
third parties, who can present demands on the Company within specified terms
and conditions. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments to
guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party.

FORWARD COMMITMENTS - The Company enters into forward contract commitments to
reduce the market risk associated with originating residential mortgage loans
for sale. Contractual terms of forward commitments specify the aggregate amount
of contract, the interest rate or prices at which loans are to be delivered,
and the period covered. The market risk to the Company is the potential
inability to originate loans at prices specified in the contract within




30

<PAGE>   28
NOTE 15. (CONTINUED)

the commitment period, thus resulting in a potential difference between loan
origination requirements under contract terms and those loans acquired at
market prices to fulfill the commitment.

LOANS SOLD WITH RECOURSE - The Company sells residential mortgage loans to the
secondary market in connection with its mortgage banking business. While the
majority of these loans are sold on a nonrecourse basis, there is a nominal
amount of recourse loans.  All residential mortgage loans are subject to the
same credit policies, and off-balance sheet loans with recourse have the same
credit risk as on-balance sheet loans. If a borrower defaults on a loan sold
with recourse, it is sold back to the Company to initiate normal collection
efforts.

FOREIGN EXCHANGE COMMITMENT CONTRACTS - The Company periodically enters into
offsetting agreements to purchase foreign currency and, in turn, to sell it to
customers. Credit risk exists because in the event the customer fails to take
delivery of the foreign currency, the Company is thus required to resell it to
the market.

INTEREST RATE SWAPS - The Company uses interest rate swap contracts in
conjunction with asset and liability management activities and to adjust
interest rate risk associated with specific customer transactions. These
contracts allow the Company to exchange fixed or variable interest rate payment
amounts on existing assets or liabilities without changing the terms or amount
of the underlying principal. Interest rate swaps are stated in notional terms,
which represent the aggregate amount of the specific asset or liability being
hedged by the interest rate swap transaction. However, the actual exposure to
credit risk is the stream of interest payments under the contractual terms of
the swap, not the notional amount. The Company manages the credit risk by
entering into interest rate swap agreements only with highly regarded
counterparties after a credit review process.

SECURITIES PURCHASE AND SELL COMMITMENTS - In connection with its capital
markets activities, the Company regularly commits to purchase and sell
securities issued by the U.S. Government and its agencies and by
municipalities.

NOTE 16. DISCLOSURES ABOUT THE FAIR VALUE OF
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107,
"Disclosures about the Fair Value of Financial Instruments," the Company is
required to estimate and disclose the fair value of certain of its on- and
off-balance sheet financial instruments. Statement No. 107 defines what
constitutes a financial instrument and recommends general methodologies to
determine fair value.

The fair value of a financial instrument as defined in Statement No. 107 is the
amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction
between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. Quoted
market prices are used to establish fair value when they are available for a
particular financial instrument, and present value and other valuation
techniques are utilized to estimate the fair value of financial instruments
that do not have quoted market prices.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of
each class of financial instrument for which disclosure is required by
Statement No. 107.

CASH AND DUE FROM BANKS AND INTEREST-BEARING DEPOSITS AND OTHER SHORT-TERM
INVESTMENTS - The current fair value of these financial instruments is defined
as the amount recorded in the balance sheet categories.

SECURITIES PORTFOLIOS - Securities available for sale, investment securities,
and trading account securities are financial instruments

NOTE 16. (CONTINUED)

that are usually traded in broad markets. Fair values are based upon market
prices and dealer quotes. If a quoted market price is not available for a
particular security, the fair value is determined by reference to quoted market
prices for securities with similar characteristics.

LOANS - For certain homogeneous categories of instalment loans, including
student loans and credit card receivables, fair value has been estimated using
quoted market prices for similar loans. The fair value of other instalment
loans, including automobile financing, was determined by discounted cash flow
techniques using interest rates for similar loans at December 31, 1993. Credit
risk factors were incorporated in the discount rates used for these loans and
reflected in the market prices obtained for homogeneous loans.

The fair value of residential mortgage loans, including ARMs and fixed-rate
loans, was determined using discounted cash flow techniques with year-end
interest rates, and by comparison with quoted market prices for mortgage-backed
securities with similar interest rates and terms. The analysis also reflected
estimated prepayment factors.

The fair value of both fixed- and variable-rate commercial and commercial real
estate loans was determined by discounted cash flow techniques. Year-end 1993
interest rates were used that incorporated the risk of credit loss associated
with each type of loan, based on an evaluation performed as of December 31,
1993.

DEPOSITS - The fair value of demand deposits, NOW and savings accounts, and
money market deposits is defined by Statement No. 107 as the amount payable on
demand at the reporting date. Therefore, for these financial instruments, the
amounts recorded in the balance sheet are also reported as their fair value
under the provisions of the statement, and no core deposit value was derived
for fair value disclosure purposes.

The fair value of certificates of deposit with fixed interest rates is
estimated by the use of present value techniques. These techniques considered
the cash flow related to these certificates, year-end interest rates at which
similar certificates were issued with similar remaining maturities, and the
probability of early withdrawal if interest rates were to rise.

SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS - The carrying amounts of federal funds purchased and
other short-term borrowings are defined to approximate their fair values.

LONG-TERM DEBT - The fair value of long-term debt was established by market
prices of the debt and present value techniques that consider the debt's
remaining maturity and yield and the current credit ratings of the Company.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS - These financial instruments generally
are not sold or traded, and there is no standard methodology for determining
their fair values. The Company's loan commitments are not beyond normal market
terms and do not include fees or conditions other than those associated with
customary market practices. The fair value of loan commitments was calculated
by determining the discounted present value of the remaining contractual fees
over the unexpired commitment period, generally not more than one year. The
fair value of securities purchase and sell commitments was determined by
reference to the price of the underlying securities. The fair value of standby
letters of credit was determined by reference to the current fees charged to
issue similar letters of credit. The fair value of forward commitments and
interest rate swaps was determined by reference to the market for similar
instruments.





                                                                              31


<PAGE>   29
NOTE 16. (CONTINUED)

At December 31, 1993, the estimated fair values of off-balance sheet financial
instruments, consisting primarily of loan commitments, were not considered to
be material.

The fair value of the financial instruments presented, and as determined under
the guidelines established by Statement No. 107 as previously described, depend
highly on assumptions as they existed as of December 31, 1993 and 1992, and on
the related methodologies applied and do not purport to represent actual
economic value in a bona fide transaction with a legitimate buyer under normal
market conditions. It should also be noted that different financial
institutions will use different assumptions and methodologies in determining
fair values such that comparisons between institutions may be difficult. The
Company did not attempt to determine the fair value of its substantial base of
core deposits, as their disclosure is not required and due to the lack of
generally accepted, industry-wide methodology for determining such values. With
that understanding, the financial statement amounts and estimated fair values
of financial instruments at December 31, 1993 and 1992, were as follows:

(1)  Substantially all balances are derived from daily averages. In certain
     instances, a method approximating daily averages was used.
(2)  Includes interest-bearing deposits in other banks, federal funds sold,
     securities purchased under agreement to resell, bankers' acceptances
     purchased, and trading account assets.
(3)  Nonperforming loans are included in the average balances. Interest income
     is recorded on an accrual basis. Thus, loans that are nonperforming do not
     contribute to net interest income and affect the net interest margin.
(4)  Includes federal funds purchased, securities sold under agreement to
     repurchase, and demand notes issued to the U.S. Treasury.
(5)  Other liabilities include guarantee of ESOP indebtedness in 1993, 1992,
     1991, and 1990.
(6)  The risk-based capital ratios and the leverage capital ratio were phased
     in December 31, 1990.

(7) Certain items in the summary that are tax-exempt have been restated to
    include the federal tax benefit derived from income on obligations of state
    and local governments, industrial revenue bonds, and certain other
    securities, thus facilitating the comparison between returns on alternative
    types of earning assets and between totals that contain varying mixtures of
    fully taxable and federal tax-exempt income.  Because of the interplay of
    federal and Massachusetts income taxes, $1.00 of federal tax-exempt income
    was the fully taxable equivalent of $1.55 in 1993.
(8) There were no significant items (excluding net securities gains) considered
    by management to be of a nonrecurring nature included  in the Summary of
    Operations above for 1991-1993.  In 1990, the Company recognized a $4.8
    million pension settlement gain and a $1.2 million gain from the sale of
    its payroll processing service.  In 1989, the Company recognized a $2.5
    million gain from  liquidation of loans acquired at a discount in 1987.  In
    1988, the Company also recognized a gain of $7.4 million from liquidation
    of these loans, $4.2 million in gains from property sales, and a gain of
    $4.0 million from the sale of the Company's investment in the CIRRUS(R)
    automated teller network.
(9) For 1988-1993, the difference between earnings (loss) per share as reported
    and fully diluted was less than 3%.
