NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)


NOTE 1.          BASIS OF PRESENTATION
                 ______________________

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial statements 
contain all adjustments, of a normal recurring nature, necessary to present 
fairly, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles applied on 
a consistent basis, the Corporation's consolidated financial position at 
September 30, 1994 and 1993, and December 31, 1993 (audited), and the related 
changes in stockholders' equity, the consolidated statements of income and 
cash flows for the interim periods presented.  These statements should be read 
in conjunction with the financial statements and accompanying notes included 
in the Corporation's latest annual report.  Certain reclassifications have 
been made to prior-period amounts to conform with the current year's 
presentation.  The results of operations for the first nine months of 1994 are 
not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full 1994 
year.


NOTE 2.          COMMON SHARES
                _________________

Primary earnings per share are calculated using the weighted average number of 
shares of common stock outstanding during the period.  The weighted average 
shares outstanding were 30,231,084 and 30,225,501 for the three and nine month 
periods ended September 30, 1994, respectively, with 25,222,014 weighted 
average shares outstanding for both the three- and nine-month periods in 1993.  
The weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding does not 
include shares subject to unexercised options.  Under the Riggs National 
Corporation 1993 Stock Option Plan (the "1993 Plan"), options to purchase up 
to 1,250,000 shares of common stock may be granted to key employees of the 
Corporation.  As of September 30, 1994, options to purchase 824,500 shares had 
been granted and were outstanding under the 1993 Plan, at prices ranging from 
$9.00 to $9.88 per share, and are currently not dilutive.  In May 1994, the 
Board of Directors and shareholders approved the Riggs National Corporation 
1994 Stock Option Plan (the "1994 Plan").  Under the 1994 Plan, options to 
purchase up to 1,250,000 shares of common stock may be granted to key 
employees of the Corporation.  As of September 30, 1994, no shares had been 
granted under the 1994 Plan.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED



NOTE 5.          NEW FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
                 ___________________________________

At December 31, 1993, the Corporation implemented a narrower definition of In-
Substance Foreclosure, as required by regulatory agencies.  Under previous 
financial accounting guidelines, a nonaccrual loan was transferred from loans 
to other real estate owned when foreclosure was probable or the loan was 
considered in-substance foreclosed, which by definition in the Securities and 
Exchange Commission's Financial Reporting Release No. 28 meant that the 
borrower had little or no equity in the property, proceeds for repayment of 
the loan could be expected to come only from the operation or sale of the 
collateral, and the debtor had either abandoned control of the collateral or 
it was doubtful that the debtor would be able to rebuild equity in the 
collateral or otherwise repay the loan in the foreseeable future.  Loans 
considered in-substance foreclosed must be recorded at the lower of cost or 
fair value.

Under the revised regulatory accounting guidelines, a loan is recognized as an 
in-substance foreclosure when the Corporation has possession of an asset prior 
to obtaining legal title.  This definition is consistent with Statement of 
Financial Accounting Standards No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for 
Impairment of a Loan,"  issued in May 1993.  This change in treatment impacts 
only the classification of accounts in the financial statements and does not 
result in a change in the accounting policy related to the determination of 
the assets' carrying value.  The consolidated statements of condition, income 
and cash flows and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements 
reflect these reclassifications.  In addition, SFAS No. 114 must be adopted, 
on a prospective basis, by January 1, 1995.  SFAS No. 114 requires that 
impaired loans be measured at the present value of expected future cash flows 
discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, at the loan's observable 
market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral-
dependent.  At this time, the Corporation does not intend an early adoption of 
SFAS No. 114, and does not anticipate any material financial impact from its 
adoption in 1995.




NOTE 6.          INCOME TAXES
                 _____________

The provision for income taxes is based on income reported for consolidated 
financial statement purposes and includes deferred taxes resulting from the 
recognition of certain revenues and expenses in different periods for tax 
reporting purposes.  Income (loss) before income taxes relating to the 
operations of domestic and foreign offices is presented for the interim 
periods as follows:

credit, and financial derivatives such as interest-rate swaps, forward 
contracts, futures, options on financial futures, and interest-rate caps, 
collars and floors.  The following table summarizes the Corporation's off-
balance sheet commitments and contingent liabilities at September 30, 1994:

</TABLE>

The Corporation's management believes financial derivatives can be an 
important element of prudent balance sheet and interest-rate risk management.  
Interest-rate swaps, caps, collars and floors are entered into as hedges 
against fluctuations in the interest rate of specifically identified assets or 
liabilities. Such transactions have no effect on the level of total assets or 
liabilities of the Corporation.  Net receivables or payables under agreements 
designated as hedges are recorded when realized or accrued as adjustments to 
interest income or interest expense related to the hedged asset or liability.  
Related fees are deferred and amortized over the life of the agreements as an 
adjustment to interest income or interest expense related to the hedged assets 
or liabilities.  Unrealized gains and losses will not be reflected in the 
accompanying financial statements unless the hedges are terminated.

Other than swaps entered into for customers, the Corporation's involvement 
with off-balance sheet financial derivative instruments has been for hedging 
purposes, and includes a $200 million interest-rate swap agreement, entered 
into in July 1993, to hedge money market assets against the possibility of 
declining interest rates.  Since inception, this swap agreement has functioned 
as an effective hedge.  At September 30, 1994, total receivables and payables 
relating to unpaid interest income/expense from the swap agreement totaled 
$2.6 million and $2.7 million, respectively, with no unamortized fees 
outstanding at quarter-end.  As interest rates began to rise in early 1994, 
the level of interest rate risk of the Corporation increased.  The market 
value of the swap agreement has fluctuated, from an unrealized gain of $0.9 
million at year-end 1993, to an unrealized loss of approximately $12.5 million 
at September 30, 1994.  Based on the possibility of further increases in 
interest rates, in April 1994 the Corporation purchased a separate instrument 
known as a corridor to mitigate the negative impact of rising interest rates 
on net interest income and reduce the level of interest-rate risk.  In
July 1994, the Corporation entered into an additional $200 million corridor
transaction, which includes a terminating cap, to hedge the cost of certain
short-term borrowings against rising interest rates.

NOTE 7.          COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES, CONTINUED
                 __________________________________________________

At September 30, 1994, there were not any net receivables and payables 
outstanding relating to interest income/expense from either corridor 
transaction, with unamortized fees totaling $3.2 million and aggregate 
unrealized gains of approximately $1.1 million at quarter-end for the
two corridor transactions.

NOTE 8.          OTHER DEVELOPMENTS
                 ___________________

On February 1, 1994, the Corporation sold $125 million of 8.5% subordinated 
notes due February 2006.  The notes were sold at par and are not callable for 
five years.  The notes were sold under a shelf registration statement declared 
effective on January 13, 1994.  The net proceeds from the sale totaled $121.3 
million and were used to redeem approximately $51.5 million of floating-rate 
subordinated notes and $69.2 million of floating-rate subordinated capital 
notes, both bearing an interest rate of 5.25% at the date of redemption and 
maturing in 1996.

On September 27, 1994, the Corporation repurchased all 764,537 shares of its 
7.5% cumulative convertible preferred stock, Series A, from the Norwich Union 
Life Insurance Society.  This repurchase will reduce dividends payable on 
preferred stock by $1.4 million annually.  The Series A preferred shares were 
previously convertible into 2,002,141 shares of common stock.

President Clinton signed the Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching 
Efficiency Act of 1994 (the "Interstate Act") on September 29, 1994.  The 
Interstate Act authorizes bank holding companies to engage in interstate 
acquisitions one year after the date of enactment, interstate branching 
through interstate bank mergers beginning in June 1997 (subject to individual 
states ability, in certain circumstances, to prohibit such merger activity by 
enacting legislation prior to June 1997), interstate consolidations of
affiliated banks beginning in June 1997, and other de novo interstate
branching if authorized by state law.  The Corporation is assessing the
impact of this legislation on the banking industry and the Corporation.


NOTE 9.          REGULATORY MATTERS
                 ___________________

In December 1992, new federal regulations were adopted to implement the prompt 
corrective action provisions of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation 
Improvement Act (FDICIA), which group FDIC-insured institutions into 
categories based on certain capital ratios and other criteria.  The categories 
are "well capitalized," "adequately capitalized," "undercapitalized," 
"significantly undercapitalized" and "critically undercapitalized."  Each of 
the Corporation's insured banking subsidiaries are "well-capitalized." 

On May 14, 1993, the Corporation entered into a Memorandum of Understanding 
with the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond ("Federal Reserve") and Riggs-
Washington entered into a Written Agreement with the Office of the Comptroller 
of the Currency (the "OCC").  The Memorandum of Understanding and the Written 
Agreement were the result of regulatory concern over financial and operational 
weaknesses and continued losses related primarily to the Corporation's 
domestic and United Kingdom commercial real estate exposure.  On September 16, 
1994, the Corporation was notified by the OCC that it had terminated the 
Written Agreement.  Under the terms of the Memorandum of Understanding, the 
Corporation must notify the Federal Reserve in advance of dividend 
declarations, the issuance and/or redemption of long-term debt and the use of 
cash assets in certain circumstances.  The Corporation is also required to 
submit plans and reports to the Federal Reserve relating to capital, asset 
quality, loan loss reserves and operations, including contingency measures if 
projected operational results do not occur.  As of September 30, 1994, the 
Corporation was in substantial compliance with the provisions and requirements 
of the Memorandum of Understanding.

RIGGS NATIONAL CORPORATION
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS



SUMMARY

The Corporation reported consolidated net income of $8.2 million ($.17 per 
common share) for the third quarter of 1994 compared with net income of $3.0 
million ($.10 per common share) for the same quarter a year earlier.  The 
third quarter performance in 1994 was the Corporation's fifth consecutive 
profitable quarter.  Results for the third quarter of 1994 reflect the 
benefits of a $6.9 million (pretax) increase in net interest income (on a tax-
equivalent basis, see "Net Interest Income") and a $1.7 million reduction in 
the provision for loan losses.  The increase in net interest income in the 
latest period was the result of improved asset mix and reductions in 
nonperforming assets, and was partially offset during the period by reductions 
in noninterest income of $3.1 million.  Two factors contributing to the 
reduction in noninterest income were declines of $1.2 million in trust income 
and $1.4 million in service charges and fees (see "Noninterest Income").

The provision for loan losses in the third quarter of 1994 was $2.1 million.  
The reduced provision in 1994 when compared to the year-earlier period was the 
result of improvements in asset quality, as nonperforming assets were reduced 
$179.1 million or 65%, from $273.6 million at the end of the third quarter of 
1993 to $94.5 million at the end of the third quarter of 1994.  The September 
30, 1994 level of nonperforming assets is the lowest since the first quarter 
of 1990.  The Corporation's overall asset quality continues to improve as a 
result of collection and asset-management efforts, as well as improved 
economic conditions domestically and in the United Kingdom.

Consolidated net income for the first nine months of 1994 was $26.0 million 
($.55 per common share), compared with a loss of $97.3 million ($3.90 per 
common share) for the same period a year earlier.  Significant factors 
contributing to the 1993 loss were a $67.2 million provision for loan losses 
and restructuring charges of $34.6 million (see "Performance Enhancing 
Strategies").  The 1993 provision for loan losses related to domestic 
commercial loans and foreign (primarily United Kingdom) corporate loans.  
Results for 1994 reflect the benefits of a $13.9 million (pretax) increase in 
the net interest income (on a tax-equivalent basis, see "Net Interest 
Income"), a $4.7 million (pre-tax) gain from the settlement of mortgage 
insurance claims related to other real estate owned in the United Kingdom, and 
a $2.1 million (pretax) credit representing the recapture of restructuring 
expenses accrued in the first quarter of 1993 for the cost of implementing 
BankStart '93 (see "Performance Enhancing Strategies").  The reduced provision 
for the first nine months of 1994 was the result of improved asset quality.

Assets totaled $4.47 billion at September 30, 1994, down $309.5 million from 
year-end 1993, and $202.2 million from September 30, 1993.  The decrease in
total assets from September 30, 1993, consisted primarily of decreases 
in securities and money market assets totaling $571.4 million, offset 
by an increase in net loans of $441.0 million.  The decrease in short-term,
lower-yielding assets, combined with the increase in higher-yielding 
loans and securities, is part of an overall asset/liability strategy 
implemented in 1993 and ongoing in 1994 to improve the Corporation's overall 
interest margin performance.  Deposits at September 30, 1994, totaled $3.55 
billion, a decrease of $225.2 million from year-end 1993 and a decrease of 
$385.7 million from September 30, 1993.  The decrease during the last twelve 
months was due primarily to reductions in money market and demand deposit 
accounts, the result of general reductions in banking deposits, as customers 
sought higher investment returns, primarily through non-banking competitors, 
in response to the historically low interest-rate environment.  Total 
liabilities decreased $287.5 million during 1994 and decreased $315.7 million 
from the year-earlier balance.  The decrease from the year-earlier balance was 
due to the aforementioned decline in deposits, partially offset by a $81.8 
million increase in short-term borrowings.

PERFORMANCE ENHANCING STRATEGIES

BankStart '93 was initiated in January 1993 and was a corporation-wide project 
to improve efficiency and increase operational effectiveness.  In the first 
quarter of 1993, the Corporation took a restructuring charge of $13.8 million, 
representing management's estimate of the cost of implementing the program. 
During the first half of 1994, the implementation of BankStart '93 was 
substantially completed and a $2.1 million recovery was recognized.  This 
recovery was the result of lower than anticipated expenses associated with 
staff reductions.  Accrued and unpaid restructuring expenses totaled 
$1.2 million at September 30, 1994, with related disbursements expected
to be made in the fourth quarter of 1994 and in future periods.

At the end of the second quarter of 1993, the Corporation announced a 
financial restructuring of its domestic and certain foreign operations, which 
included enhancing certain lines of business domestically and exiting 
unprofitable lines of business in the United Kingdom, reducing its investments 
in certain foreign subsidiaries and increasing reserves against problem assets 
in order to facilitate their disposition.   At September 30, 1994, the 
restructurings were substantially complete.  Accrued and unpaid restructuring
expenses totaled $1.3 million at September 30, 1994, with related disbursements
expected to be made during the remainder of 1994 and the first half of 1995.

SECURITIES, CONTINUED

Investment securities and securities held for sale for 1993 are presented in 
the held-to-maturity and available for sale categories, respectively, in the 
preceding tables.  Effective December 31, 1993, the Corporation adopted SFAS 
No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities."  
SFAS No. 115 requires that all unrealized gains and losses from the securities 
available for sale portfolio be included, net, in stockholders' equity until 
realized.  This treatment is a change from previous accounting policy, which 
required such securities to be carried at the lower of cost or market with any 
unrealized gains and losses included in earnings.  SFAS No. 115 may not be 
applied retroactively to prior years' financial statements.

The weighted-average maturities and yields for securities held-to-maturity, 
adjusted for anticipated prepayments, was approximately 1.5 years and 5.51% at 
September 30, 1994.  The weighted-average maturities and yields for securities 
available for sale, adjusted for anticipated prepayments, was approximately 
3.2 years and 5.78% at September 30, 1994.  Total securities held-to-maturity 
and available for sale decreased $315.8 million (23.1%) during the nine months 
of 1994, and $239.9 million (18.6%) since September 30, 1993. The decrease
in securities for the first nine months of 1994 was due to maturities and
sales during the period being shifted to residential mortgage loans, as well
as being used to fund reductions in deposits and short-term borrowings during
the period.  The decrease in securities during the past year occurred 
as proceeds from maturities and sales, combined with proceeds from maturing 
money market investments, were invested in longer-term, fixed-rate residential 
mortgage loans, as part of a strategy to improve earnings.

LOANS, CONTINUED

At September 30, 1994, total loans outstanding (net of premiums/discounts) 
were $2.61 billion, compared with $2.53 billion at December 31, 1993, and 
$2.17 billion at September 30, 1993.  The increase in loans from September 30, 
1993, was primarily attributable to purchases of approximately $436 million in 
residential mortgage loans during the fourth quarter of 1993 and an additional 
$90 million during the first quarter of 1994, combined with local-area 
originations of residential mortgage loans.  The increase in residential 
mortgages is part of a strategy to improve earnings (see "Securities").  The 
increase from December 31, 1993, which totaled $79.9 million, was due 
primarily to an increase in residential mortgages of $166.7 million during the 
first nine months of 1994, the result of residential loan purchases of $90 
million during the first quarter of 1994, combined with local-area 
originations during the nine-month period.  Commercial and financial loans 
also increased during the first nine months of 1994 ($49.4 million), the 
result of new local-area commercial loan originations.  These increases were 
partially offset by net decreases in real estate-commercial/construction, home 
equity, consumer and foreign loans, which decreased an aggregate $136.6 
million during the period.

ASSET QUALITY, CONTINUED

At September 30, 1994, nonaccrual loans, including both domestic and foreign 
loans, were $37.1 million, or 1.4% of total loans, compared with $130.2 
million, or 5.2% of total loans, at year-end 1993 and $210.3 million, or 9.7% 
of total loans, at September 30, 1993.  Loans are generally placed on 
nonaccrual status when, in management's judgment, there is doubt as to the 
ability to collect either principal or interest, or when interest or principal 
is 90 days or more past due and the loan is not well-secured and in the 
process of collection.  The decrease in nonaccrual loans during the nine month 
period ended September 30, 1994, was due to paydowns and payoffs of $54.2 
million, in addition to loans returning to accrual status of $31.8 million, 
transfers to other real estate owned of $20.3 million and charge-offs of $5.8 
million.  These reductions were partially offset by net additions of $10.0 
million, foreign exchange fluctuations of $1.6 million and a transfer of a 
renegotiated loan totaling $7.4 million to nonaccrual status.  Of the $54.2 
million in paydowns and payoffs during the first nine months of 1994, $24.4 
million (45%) related to foreign nonaccrual loans and $29.8 million (55%) 
related to domestic nonaccrual loans.  Renegotiated loans decreased $29.8 
million during the first nine months of 1994, with paydowns and payoffs 
totaling $2.8 million, combined with charge-offs of $1.9 million, transfers to 
other real estate owned of $2.9 million, transfers back to accrual status of 
$14.8 million and the aforementioned $7.4 million transfer to nonaccrual 
status during the period.

September 30, 1994, from $52.8 million at December 31, 1993, and $53.9 million 
at September 30, 1993.  The increase during the first nine months of 1994 was 
the result of net additions of $23.2 million and exchange rate fluctuations of 
$0.5 million,  partially offset by paydowns and sales of $17.2 million and 
charge-offs of $2.4 million.  At September 30, 1994, residential and

(1)-Balances are net of reserves totaling $2.1 million.


Past due loans consist predominantly of residential real estate and consumer 
loans that are well-secured and in the process of collection and that are 
accruing interest.  Past due loans decreased $1.5 million during the first 
nine months of 1994 to $1.8 million, while decreasing $2.5 million from 
September 30, 1993.

At September 30, 1994, the Corporation had identified approximately $20.4 
million in potential problem loans that were currently performing but that 
management believes have certain attributes that may lead to nonaccrual or 
past due status in the foreseeable future.  These loans consisted of $16.0 
million of domestic loans, primarily commercial and financial, and $4.4 
million of commercial property and corporate loans originated in the United 
Kingdom.

The Corporation's banking subsidiaries maintain reserves for loan losses that 
are available to absorb potential losses in the current loan portfolio.  The 
reserve for loan losses is based on management's assessment of existing 
conditions and reflects potential losses determined to be probable and subject 
to reasonable estimation.  The reserve for loan losses was $95.8 million, or 
3.67% of total loans (net of premiums/discounts), at September 30, 1994, 
compared with $86.5 million, or 3.42% of total loans, at December 31, 1993, 
and $83.5 million, or 3.85% of total loans, at September 30, 1993.  The 
decrease in the percentage of reserves to total loans from September 30, 1993, 
to September 30, 1994, was due to the increase in total loans during the 
periods, primarily in residential mortgage-type loans.  The Corporation's 
coverage ratio was 255% at September 30, 1994, 54% at year-end 1993 and 38% at 
September 30, 1993.  The increase in the coverage ratio during the periods is 
primarily the result of a decline in total nonperforming loans and an 
increase in the reserve for loan losses during the periods.




DEPOSITS, SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS AND LONG-TERM DEBT

Deposits, which are offered through several banking subsidiaries of the 
Corporation, are the primary and most stable source of funds for the 
Corporation.  Deposits totaled $3.55 billion at September 30, 1994, declining 
$225.2 million from the year-end 1993's deposit total and $385.7 million 
(9.8%) from the September 30, 1993 deposit total.  The decrease from the year-
earlier balance was due to decreases in money market and demand deposits 
($276.7 million), in addition to declines in domestic time deposits ($87.8 
million), the result of general reductions in banking deposits, as customers 
sought higher investment returns, primarily through non-banking competitors, 
in response to the historically low interest-rate environment.

Short-term borrowings decreased $61.1 million (13.4%) during the first nine 
months of 1994, while increasing $81.8 million (26.3%) since the end of the 
third quarter of 1993.  The decrease in short-term borrowings from year-end 
1993 was primarily due to the use of a portion of funds received on maturities 
and sales of securities to repay maturing short-term borrowings.

DEPOSITS, SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS AND LONG-TERM DEBT, CONTINUED

The increase in short-term borrowings from the prior year's balance was used 
to replace a portion of the decrease in total deposits during the period.

On February 1, 1994, the Corporation sold $125 million of 8.5% Subordinated 
Notes, due February 2006.  The notes were priced at par and are not callable 
for five years.  The notes were sold under a shelf registration statement 
declared effective on January 13, 1994.  The Corporation has used the net 
proceeds from the offering, $120.7 million, to redeem floating-rate 
subordinated notes and subordinated capital notes due in 1996.  The proceeds 
were placed in short-term investments prior to the redemption of the floating-
rate notes in March 1994.  The balance of long-term debt at September 30, 
1994, was $217.6 million, up slightly from the balance at year-end and 
September 30, 1993, of $213.3 million.  The increase from the year-end balance 
reflects the difference between the gross proceeds from the sale of the 
subordinated notes in February 1994 ($125.0 million) and the amount of debt 
redeemed in March 1994 ($120.7 million).


LIQUIDITY

The Corporation seeks to maintain sufficient liquidity to meet the needs of 
depositors, borrowers and creditors, at a reasonable cost and without undue 
stress on the operations of the Corporation and its banking subsidiaries.  The 
Corporation's Asset-Liability Committee actively analyzes and manages 
liquidity in coordination with other areas of the organization (see "Interest 
Rate Risk Management" below).  At September 30, 1994, the Corporation's liquid 
assets, on a consolidated basis, which include cash and due from banks, U.S. 
Treasury securities and Government obligations, federal funds sold, reverse 
repurchase agreements and time deposits at other banks, totaled $1.6 billion 
(35.7% of total assets).  This total compares with $1.8 billion (36.9%) at 
December 31, 1993, and $2.2 billion (46.6%) at September 30, 1993.  The 
decreases in total liquid assets and the percentage of liquid assets to total 
assets from September 30, 1993 were the result of the Corporation's strategy 
to improve earnings by increasing its loan-to-deposit ratio.  The Corporation 
expects liquid assets to remain at approximately the September 30, 1994 level 
for the foreseeable future.

Liquidity needs of the Corporation are met by the steady source of funds 
maintained through the Corporation's core deposit relationships, in addition 
to its ability to attract new deposits and other sources of funds, such as 
short-term borrowings and assets available for securitization.


INTEREST-RATE RISK MANAGEMENT

Financial institutions manage the inherently different maturity and repricing 
characteristics of their loan and deposit products to achieve a desired 
interest-rate sensitivity position and to limit their exposure to interest-
rate risk.  The Corporation manages interest-rate risk through its Asset-
Liability Committee, comprised of senior executives of the Corporation, which 
reports to the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors.  Policies, 
approved by the Board of Directors, have been established related to 
acceptable levels of interest-rate risk.

At September 30, 1994, the Corporation's interest sensitivity gap was 
marginally liability-sensitive.  Thus, increases in interest rates would tend 
to decrease the Corporation's net interest income, while downward movements 
would tend to increase net interest income.  The one-year interest sensitivity 
gap was liability-sensitive by approximately $200 million, or 5% of total 
assets, at September 30, 1994.

The interest-sensitivity gap position reflects the impact of the off-balance 
sheet derivative transactions the Corporation has entered into to help manage 
its interest-rate risk.  The Corporation uses off-balance sheet instruments to 
manage interest-rate risk when such instruments present a cost-effective 
alternative to traditional on-balance sheet methods.  The Corporation is not a 
dealer in off-balance sheet instruments, nor does it enter into off-balance 
sheet positions as a part of its trading account activities.

STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY AND REGULATORY CAPITAL

Total stockholders' equity at September 30, 1994, was $271.2 million, down 
$22.0 million from the year-end 1993 total and up $113.6 million from 
September 30, 1993.  The decrease during 1994 was the result of earnings 
totaling $26.0 million, as well as foreign exchange translation and other 
activity totaling $1.1 million, which, in the aggregate, were more than offset 
by $20.6 million of unrealized losses on securities in the Corporation's 
available for sale portfolio, the repurchase of the Preferred Stock, Series A 
totaling $19.1 million and dividends on preferred stock of $9.4 million.  The 
increase in stockholders' equity from the preceding year is primarily 
attributable to the issuance of common and preferred stock in October 1993, 
which resulted in net proceeds of $132.3 million.

The Corporation's total (Combined Tier I and Tier II) and core (Tier I) 
capital ratios were 17.86% and 11.05%, respectively, at September 30, 1994, 
compared with 16.81% and 10.76% at December 31, 1993, and 11.01% and 5.78% at 
September 30, 1993, respectively.  The Federal Reserve Board's risk-based 
capital guidelines require bank holding companies to meet a minimum ratio of 
qualifying total (combined Tier I and Tier II) capital to risk-weighted assets 
of 8.00%, at least half of which must be composed of core (Tier I) capital 
elements.  The Federal Reserve Board has established an additional capital 
adequacy guideline-the leverage ratio- which measures the ratio of Tier I 
capital to quarterly average assets.  The most highly rated bank holding 
companies are required to maintain a minimum leverage ratio of 3.00%.  
However, most bank holding companies, including the Corporation, are expected 
to maintain an additional cushion of at least 100 to 200 basis points above 
the 3.00% minimum.  The actual required ratio for individual bank holding 
companies is based on the Federal Reserve Board's assessment of the applicable 
company's asset quality, earnings performance, interest-rate risk and 
liquidity.  The Federal Reserve Board has not advised the Corporation of a 
specific leverage ratio requirement.  The Corporation's leverage ratio was 
6.30% at September 30, 1994, compared with leverage ratios of 6.03% and 3.02% 
at December 31, 1993, and September 30, 1993, respectively.  Regulatory 
capital ratios do not include the impact of the $19.3 million unrealized loss 
on securities available for sale portfolio.  The Corporation's equity to 
assets ratio, which does include these unrealized losses, remains solid, with 
a ratio of 6.07% at September 30, 1994 compared to 6.13% and 3.37% at December 
31, 1993, and September 30, 1993, respectively.



The Corporation ensures that its operating subsidiaries are capitalized in 
accordance with regulatory guidelines.  The three national bank subsidiaries 
of the Corporation are subject to minimum capital ratios prescribed by the 
Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, which are generally the same as 
those of the Federal Reserve Board.  The following table details the actual 
and required minimum ratios for the Corporation and its insured bank 
subsidiaries:

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis (net interest income plus an 
amount equal to the tax savings on tax-exempt interest) totaled $40.2 million 
in the third quarter of 1994, up $1.2 million from the second quarter of 1994, 
and up $6.9 million from the third quarter of 1993.  Net interest income on a 
tax-equivalent basis was $117.2 million for the first nine months of 1994, 
compared with $103.4 million for the like period in the prior year.  The net 
interest margin (net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis divided by 
average earning assets) for the third quarter of 1994 was 4.01% (see schedule 
on the following page), an increase of 9 basis points from 3.92% for the 
second quarter of 1994 and 95 basis points from 3.06% for the third quarter of 
1993.  The net interest margin for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 
1994 and 1993, was 3.87% and 3.12%, respectively.  Since September 30, 1993, 
the positive impact of the lower interest-rate environment on interest paid 
for deposits and borrowings was only partially offset by lower yields on 
earning assets.  While interest rates rose during the first nine months of 
1994, the net interest margin continued to improve as assets generally 
repriced faster than liabilities. The Corporation does not anticipate 
significant changes in the net interest margin for the remainder of the year.  
Also having a positive impact on the Corporation's net interest income and 
margin have been decreases in nonperforming assets, combined with a shift to 
longer-term, higher-yielding assets from short-term investments (see 
"Securities").  In 1993, the Corporation established a goal of increasing its 
loan-to-deposit ratio to approximately 70% in 1994.  The loan-to-deposit ratio 
stood at 73% at September 30, 1994.  The goal was largely accomplished through 
the purchase in the open market of approximately $526 million of residential 
mortgages in 1993 and the first quarter of 1994.  The ratio of loans to 
average earning assets was 65% for the third quarter of 1994, which is 
comparable with the ratio for the second quarter of 1994 and 15 basis points 
higher than the ratio for the third quarter of 1993 (50%).

Interest income recognized on nonaccrual and restructured loans totaled 
$1.3 million and $1.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1994 and 
1993, respectively.  Interest income that would have been earned under the 
original terms of these loans was $5.6 million and $9.7 million, respectively, 
which reduced the net interest margin by approximately 14 basis points in 1994 
and 24 basis points in 1993.

NONINTEREST INCOME

Noninterest income for the third quarter of 1994 was $18.8 million, compared 
with $22.6 million for the second quarter of 1994 and $21.9 million for the 
third quarter of 1993.  Noninterest income for the nine-month periods ended 
September 30, 1994, and 1993, totaled $68.1 million and $91.4 million, 
respectively.  The $3.1 million decrease when comparing quarters on a year-to-
year basis was attributable primarily to decreases in trust income of $1.2 
million and $1.4 million in service charges and fees.  The decrease in trust 
income was due to overall net reductions of trust account balances, while the 
decrease in service charges and fees is attributable to reductions in analysis 
and advisory fee income, the result of decreased noninterest income from the 
sale of three foreign subsidiaries in the third quarter of 1994.  The $23.3 
million decrease when comparing the nine-month periods on a year-to-year basis 
was the result of a decrease in securities gains of $22.5 million, combined 
with a decrease in service charges and fees of $3.8 million, offset by $4.7 
million in pretax income from the settlement of mortgage insurance claims 
relating to other real estate owned properties in the United Kingdom.  The 
decrease in service charges and fees during the period was the result of the 
decline of overall deposits from balances a year earlier, because of the low 
interest-rate environment.


NONINTEREST EXPENSE

Noninterest expense for the third quarter of 1994 totaled $47.8 million, flat 
when compared with the third quarter of 1993 and a $1.8 million decrease when 
compared with the second quarter of 1994.  Reductions in salaries and other 
benefits of $1.8 million and furniture and equipment of $0.5 million were 
offset by an increase in other noninterest expense of $2.2 million, primarily 
the result of losses and other write-offs totaling $1.4 million from the sale 
of three foreign subsidiaries in the third quarter of 1994 and an increase in 
outsourcing fees of $0.5 million between the periods.

Noninterest expense for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 1994 and 
1993, totaled $150.9 million and $215.6 million, respectively.  The $64.7 
million decrease in noninterest expense from the prior year was due primarily 
to decreases in restructuring charges aggregating $36.6 million and decreases 
of $13.4 million in other real estate owned expenses.  These decreases 
combined with across-the-board decreases in noninterest expenses, with 
salaries, occupancy, and other expenses accounting for an additional $12.7 
million of the decrease.


TAXES

The Corporation's provision for income taxes includes federal, state and 
foreign income taxes.  Income tax expense totaling $171 thousand was 
recognized for the quarter ended September 30, 1994, compared with income tax 
benefit of $693 thousand for the quarter ended June 30, 1994, and income tax 
expense of $93 thousand for the quarter ended September 30, 1993.  Income tax 
benefits totaling $392 thousand, compared with income tax expense of $5.6 
million, was recognized for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 1994, 
and 1993, respectively.  The 1994 tax provision was less than the statutory 
rate because of the Corporation's ability to carryforward net operating losses 
and the settlement of an outstanding tax issue with the United Kingdom taxing 
authorities.  This settlement resulted in a tax refund of $750 thousand in the 
second quarter of 1994.

                             III.

                  DEFERRAL OF DIRECTOR'S FEES




          A.  ELECTION TO DEFER FEES.  1.  For the initial Plan 
Year, the election to defer all or a portion of Director's Fees 
earned on and after June 1, 1994, the effective date of the 
Plan, shall be made prior to such date.  Before the beginning of 
any subsequent Plan Year, a Director may elect to defer all or 
part of his or her Director's Fees to be earned in that year and 
following years.  For a new Director, the election to defer 
Director's Fees earned during his or her initial year of service 
shall be made within thirty (30) days following the Director's 
election or appointment and shall be effective for Director's 
Fees earned as of the first day of the month after the election 
is made.



          2.  Any election to defer shall continue in effect for 
subsequent Plan Years unless modified or revoked in accordance 
with section 3.4.



          3.  When a Director elects to defer Director's Fees 
under section 3.1(a) the Director shall also elect whether 
amounts deferred should be credited to his or her Cash Deferred 
Fee Account, to his or her Stock Deferred Fee Account, or both, 
in the percentages authorized in the Director's Deferred Fee 
Agreement.



          B.  LIMITATION ON STOCK DEFERRED FEES.  1.  A Director 
cannot elect to credit more than $10,000 of Director's Fees each 
Plan Year to the Director's Stock Deferred Fee Account.  This 
limit shall not be prorated for the initial Plan Year,



                             -6-





<PAGE>

therefore, a Director can credit $10,000 of Director's Fees 
earned from June 1, 1994 to January 31, 1995 to the Stock 
Deferred Fee Account.  The $10,000 limit shall not apply to 
dividends credited to the Director's Stock Deferred Fee Account 
under section 6.1(b).



          2.  In the event that a Director or Directors elect to 
defer Director's Fees in the form of Shares and the total number 
of Shares to be credited to all Directors' Stock Deferred Fee 
Accounts at such time exceeds the number of shares of Common 
Stock then available under the Plan, the number of Shares 
credited to each Director's Stock Deferred Fee Account shall be 
reduced on a pro rata basis and the remaining Director's Fees 
shall be credited to the Director's Cash Deferred Fee Account. 
The excess Director's Fees credited to the Director's Cash 
Deferred Fee Account cannot thereafter be transferred to the 
Director's Stock Deferred Fee Account.



          3.  There is no limit on the amount of Director's Fees 
that can be credited to the Director's Cash Deferred Fee 
Account.




          C.  CREDITING TO DEFERRED FEE ACCOUNTS.  1.  When a 
Director elects under section 3.1(c) to have Director's Fees 
credited to his or her Cash Deferred Fee Account, the Director's 
Cash Deferred Fee Account shall be credited with the amount of 
such Director's Fees as of the day such Director's Fees would 
have been paid



                             -7-





<PAGE>

to the Director were they not deferred under the Plan.




          2.  When a Director elects under section 3.1(c) to 
have Director's Fees credited to his or her Stock Deferred Fee 
Account, the Director's Stock Deferred Fee Account shall be 
credited with a number of Shares as of the day such Director's 
Fees would have been paid to the Director were they not deferred 
under the Plan.  Subject to sections 3.2(a) and 3.2(b), the 
number of Shares credited to the Stock Deferred Fee Account 
shall be the quotient of the amount of Director's Fees to be 
credited to the Stock Deferred Fee Account divided by the Fair 
Market Value of the Common Stock on such date.




          D.  MODIFICATION OR REVOCATION OF DEFERRAL.  A 
Director may, on a prospective basis for future Plan Years, 
change the amount of Director's Fees to be deferred by executing 
a new Deferred Fee Agreement or revoke his or her election to 
defer Director's Fees by executing a written revocation to the 
Secretary of the Company, but no new Deferred Fee Agreement or 
revocation of an election to defer Director's Fees shall be 
effective in the Plan Year in which it is executed.




          E.  MODIFICATION OF INVESTMENT DIRECTION.  Twice a 
year, a Director may, on a prospective basis for future 
Director's Fees, modify his or her election regarding the 
Deferred Fee Accounts to which his or her deferred Director's 
Fees are



                             -8-




<PAGE>

credited, but no modification of such an election shall affect 
amounts deferred in prior years.  Modifications must be made no 
later than: (i) January 31 for fees paid on and after the 
following February 1 and (ii) July 31 for fees paid on and after 
the following August 1.



          F.  TRANSFERS FROM PREVIOUS DEFERRED COMPENSATION 
ARRANGEMENTS.     (a)  The Director can elect to transfer the 
balance credited on his or her behalf in any previous Director's 
deferred compensation arrangement sponsored by the Company or 
the Bank to the Director's Cash Deferred Fee Account.




          (b)  The Director can make a one-time election to 
transfer up to $10,000 of Director's Fees credited to any 
previous Director's deferred compensation arrangement sponsored 
by the Company or the Bank to the Director's Stock Deferred Fee 
Account.  The election must be made prior to June 1, 1994.  The 
transfer shall be effective as of the first date on which fees 
deferred by any Director under the Plan are credited to that 
Director's Deferred Fee Account.  This transfer shall be in 
addition to and shall not in any way impact or limit the 
Director's ability to defer $10,000 of Director's fees earned 
after June 1, 1994 for the initial Plan Year to the Director's 
Stock Deferred Fee Account.

                             IV.

                 CHANGE IN CAPITAL STRUCTURE




          A.  CHANGE IN CAPITAL STRUCTURE.  If the Company shall 
effect a subdivision or consolidation of shares or other capital 
readjustment, the payment of a stock dividend, or other increase 
or reduction of the number of shares of the Common Stock
outstanding, without receiving compensation therefore in money, 
services or property, then (i) the number, class, and per share 
price of shares of Common Stock credited to the Director's Stock 
Deferred Fee Account shall be appropriately adjusted in such a 
manner as to entitle the Director to receive upon distribution 
the same total number and class of shares as he would have 
received had the Director received the distribution of Common 
Stock under section 7.1 immediately prior to the event requiring 
the adjustment; and (ii) the number and class of shares then 
reserved for issuance under the Plan shall be adjusted by 
substituting for the total number and class of shares of Common 
Stock then reserved the number and class of shares of Common 
Stock that would have been received by the owner of an equal 
number of outstanding shares of each class of Common Stock as 
the result of the event requiring the adjustment.

                         INTEREST




          A.     INTEREST.  Interest shall be credited to each 
Director's Cash Deferred Fee Account, as of the end of each 
quarter, at an annual rate determined pursuant to section 5.2. 
Interest shall be credited during each quarter that a Director 
has any amount credited to his or her Cash Deferred Fee Account 
under the Plan.




          B.     RATE OF INTEREST.  Interest shall be credited 
during the Plan Year at a rate equal to the interest rate paid 
by the Bank on its certificates of deposit having a one-year 
maturity as of February 1 of that Plan Year.






                             VI.

                          DIVIDENDS




          A.     CREDITING OF DIVIDENDS.  (a)  Each Director 
with shares credited to his or her Stock Deferred Fee Account on 
the record date of a dividend on the Common Stock shall be 
credited on the payment date of the dividend with an amount 
determined by the product of the number of Shares credited to 
the Director's Stock Deferred Fee Account on the dividend record 
date and the dividend per share on the Common Stock.



                             -11-





<PAGE>

          (b)  If the Director is currently deferring all or a 
portion of his or her Director's Fees to the Director's Stock 
Deferred Fee Account, the Director's Stock Deferred Fee Account 
shall be credited on the dividend payment date with a number of 
Shares determined by dividing the amount of the dividends for 
the Director as determined under section 6.1(a) by the Fair 
Market Value of the Common Stock on the dividend payment date.




          (c)  If the Director is not currently deferring all or 
a portion of his or her Director's Fees to the Director's Stock 
Deferred Fee Account, the amount of dividends determined under 
section 6.1(a) shall be credited on the dividend payment date to 
the Director's Cash Deferred Fee Account.





                             VII.

                  PAYMENT OF DEFERRED FEES




          A.  FORM OF PAYMENT OF DEFERRED FEES.     A Director 
shall be entitled to receive a benefit equal to the amounts 
credited to his or her Deferred Fee Accounts at the time or 
times specified in such Director's Deferred Fee Agreement.  
Amounts credited to a Director's Cash Deferred Fee Account shall 
be paid in cash. Shares credited to a Director's Stock Deferred 
Fee Account shall be paid by the delivery by the Company of 
certificates representing a like number of the Common Stock.



                             -12-





<PAGE>

          B.  TIMING OF PAYMENT OF DEFERRED FEES.  1.  At the 
election of a Director, the amount credited to the Director's 
Cash Deferred Fee Account shall be paid in a lump sum or in 
installments in accordance with the terms of such Director's 
Deferred Fee Agreement.  Amounts credited to a Director's Cash 
Deferred Fee Account shall bear interest at the rate specified 
in section 5.2 during the installment payout period.



          2.  The shares credited to the Director's Stock 
Deferred Fee Account shall be issued to the Director in a lump 
sum.  The Director's Cash Deferred Fee Account shall be credited 
with dividends for Shares credited to a Director's Stock 
Deferred Fee Account from the date on which the Director ceases 
to be a Director until such lump sum payment is made.



          3.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no payment of 
Shares from a Director's Stock Deferred Fee Account shall be 
made until at least six months and one day that an individual 
ceases to be a Director.  Furthermore, no payment of Shares from 
a Director's Stock Deferred Fee Account shall be made unless the 
Company may validly issue Common Stock at such time pursuant to 
all applicable rules and regulations, including



                             -13-

compliance with applicable securities laws requirements, the 
Fair Market Value of the Shares credited to a Director's Stock 
Deferred Fee Account shall be distributed in cash.




          C.  DEATH OF A DIRECTOR.  If a Director dies with any 
amount credited to his or her Deferred Fee Accounts, then his or 
her Beneficiary shall be entitled to receive the entire amount 
in a lump sum.  Such payment shall be made as soon as 
practicable after the end of the calendar quarter in which the 
Director's death occurred.





                             VIII.

                        BENEFICIARIES

be made either in the Deferred Fee Agreement or on a form 
prescribed by the Secretary of the Company and shall be 
effective only when filed with the Secretary during the 
Director's lifetime.  Each

Shareholders of the Company.




          B.  RIGHT TO AMEND OR TERMINATE THE PLAN.  (a)     The 
Company and the Bank acting jointly may amend or terminate the 
Plan at any time in whole or in part.  No amendment or 
termination of the Plan shall reduce any amounts credited to a

President of the Company shall have the authority and 
responsibility to administer and interpret the Plan.  Benefits

directors of the Company and the Bank.
