     provided in the Financial Accounting Standards Board Special
     Report titled "A Guide to the Implementation of Statement 115 on
     Accounting for Certain Debt and Equity Securities", the

          At June 30, 1996, $15.3 million of the total impaired loans were
     measured using the fair value of the loan's collateral.  The remaining
     impaired loans of $6.5 million represented loans with recorded investments
     of less than $500 thousand which were measured at the outstanding loan
     balance less any specific reserves.  The $716 thousand valuation allowance
     for impaired loans at June 30, 1996 and the activity related to
     impaired loans for the six months ended June 30, 1996 is included
     in the allowance for credit losses discussed below.

          In certain circumstances, a nonaccrual loan may not meet the
     definition of an impaired loan under Statement of Financial
     Accounting Standards No.  114 and 118, "Accounting by Creditors
     for Impairment of a Loan".  At June 30, 1996, the difference
     between total nonaccrual loans and total impaired loans was $10.5
     million which included the following: nonaccrual residential loans
     of $6.7 million which were considered smaller balance homogeneous
     loans and a $3.8 million nonaccrual foreign loan which is
     classified as a nonaccrual loan due to regulatory requirements but
     does not meet the definition of an impaired loan.

          The provision for credit losses is determined by analyzing the
     status of individual loans, reviewing historical loss experience and
     reviewing the delinquency of principal and interest payments where
     pertinent.  Management believes that all uncollectible amounts have
     been charged off and that the allowance is adequate to cover all losses
     inherent in the portfolio at June 30, 1996.  A summary of the activity
     in the allowance for credit losses for the six months ended June 30,
     1996 and 1995 follows:

     </TABLE>

          The Corporation analyzes the capitalized mortgage servicing rights
     for impairment on a quarterly basis using a discounted cash flow analysis.
     Impairment losses are determined by stratifying the population of
     mortgage servicing rights based upon the following risk characteristics
     of the underlying loans:  loan type and term.  A valuation allowance
     is recorded if the unamortized mortgage servicing rights exceed their
     fair value.  At June 30, 1996, there was no valuation allowance.

     10.  Off-Balance Sheet Derivative Financial Instruments

     Trading Instruments

          The Corporation maintains active trading positions in a variety
     of financial derivatives including foreign exchange and interest rate
     futures, interest rate swaps, interest rate caps and floors, forward
     rate agreements, and interest rate and foreign exchange options.  Many
     of these positions are the result of activity generated by corporate
     customers.  The balance of the positions represent strategic
     trading decisions of the Corporation's derivative and foreign
     exchange traders.  The managers and traders involved in financial
     derivatives have the technical expertise to trade these products.
     The active involvement of the Corporation's traders in these
     markets allows the Corporation to offer competitive pricing to
     customers and the expertise necessary to advise the Corporation's
     asset/liability managers on the proper timing and execution of
     hedging strategies for the Corporation's balance sheet.

          All trading activity is conducted within the risk limits approved
     by the Corporation's Board of Directors.  Trading systems are in place
     which measure risks and profitability associated with derivative trading
     positions as market movements occur.  An independent risk control unit
     monitors these risks.  The results are reported daily and reviewed by the
     Corporation's Asset/Liability Committee and the Executive Committee of the
     Board of Directors on a monthly basis.

     10.  Off-Balance Sheet Derivative Financial Instruments (cont'd)


     Risk Management Instruments

          Derivative financial instruments are an integral part of the
     Corporation's risk management process.  Derivatives allow the
     Corporation to modify the repricing or maturity characteristics of
     assets and liabilities in a cost-efficient manner.  This flexibility
     helps the Corporation to achieve liquidity, capital, and interest rate
     risk objectives.

          Derivatives fluctuate in value as interest rates rise or fall, just
     as on-balance sheet assets and liabilities fluctuate in value.
     Derivatives are used to modify the characteristics of assets or liabilities
     to which they are designated as well as to provide basis risk protection.

          For example, the Corporation utilizes interest rate swaps to convert
     fixed rate assets to floating rate assets or vice versa.  When the
     Corporation uses swaps to match/fund fixed rate term loans to customers,
     the Corporation is converting the fixed rate loans to floating rate loans
     that better match the floating rate deposits received from core customers.

          Interest rate swaps also are used to convert floating rate liabilities
     to fixed rate liabilities or vice versa.  Interest rate swaps designated
     to certain liabilities are used to extend the period over which the
     Corporation's short-term deposits reprice, thus locking in fixed rates.
     This offers protection against liabilities repricing faster than assets
     during periods of rising interest rates.  Interest rate swaps sold as
     liability hedges are used to adjust fixed rate long-term deposits to
     floating rate deposits.  The Corporation receives a fixed rate on this
     type of swap that offsets the fixed rate paid on the term deposits thus
     converting the deposits to a floating rate.  By issuing long-term deposits,
     the Corporation increases its overall liquidity.  Customer demand for
     long-term deposits is primarily fixed rate.  Interest rate swaps allow the
     Corporation to swap fixed rate liabilities for floating rate liabilities
     when appropriate for interest rate sensitivity purposes.

          The Corporation also utilizes interest rate swaps to extend the
     period over which floating rate assets (e.g. prime rate loans) reprice
     thus locking in a fixed rate.  This strategy is used to reduce the asset
     sensitivity of the balance sheet or to better match maturities of assets
     or liabilities.  Basis swaps are sometimes utilized to protect the interest
     rate spread between assets and liabilities that are repriced based on
     different indexes.  Prime rate loans are often funded by liabilities that
     reset off of a CD index, treasury index, or LIBOR.  Basis swaps lock in
     the spread between different indexes during the life of the swaps.  These
     swaps transfer the basis risk to third parties willing to assume the risk
     and allow the Corporation to lock in interest rate spreads between certain
     assets and liabilities.

          Deferred losses on the early termination of interest rate swaps with
     notional balances of $200.0 million designated to the Corporation's prime
     based commercial loans were $6.0 million as of June 30, 1996.  These
     losses are scheduled to be amortized into income in the following periods:
     $1.7 million for the remainder of 1996, $3.4 million in 1997 and $858
     thousand in 1998.

          The deferred gain on the early termination of an interest rate swap
     with a notional balance of $100.0 million designated to the Corporation's
     federal funds purchased was $205 thousand as of June 30, 1996.  This
     gain is scheduled to be amortized into income in the following periods:
     $50 thousand for the remainder of 1996, $98,000 in 1997 and $57 thousand
     in 1998.

          For the six months ended June 30, 1996, the off-balance sheet
     derivative financial instruments entered into for risk management
     purposes by the Corporation had the following impact on the components
     of net interest income: gross interest income decreased $1.3 million
     and gross interest expense decreased $1.7 million which resulted in
     a $399 thousand increase in net interest income.

     Condition and Results of Operations-(Continued)

     Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

          Net interest income on a fully tax equivalent basis for the
     quarter ended June 30, 1996 of $97.9 million decreased $1.8 million
     (1.8%) when compared to net interest income of $99.7 million for the
     quarter ended June 30, 1995.  The securitization and sale of an
     additional $335 million in bankcard receivables in the second quarter
     of 1996 resulted in a $5.9 million decrease in net interest income.
     The revenues associated with these receivables were reported in
     noninterest income as servicing income from securitized assets.
     Absent the impact of the securitization, net interest income increased
     $4.1 million relative to 1995.  The increase in net interest income
     is primarily due to an increase in net free funds.  The net interest
     margin for the second quarter of 1996 was 4.25% compared to 4.50% for
     the second quarter of 1995.  The decrease in the net interest margin
     in the current period was due to narrower spreads on loans and
     deposits.  In addition, the $335 million bankcard receivable
     securitization and sale in the second quarter of 1996 resulted in a
     13 basis point decrease in the net interest margin.

          Net interest income on a fully tax equivalent basis for the
     six months ended June 30, 1996 of $199.1 million decreased $510 thousand
     (0.3%) when compared to net interest income of $199.6 million for
     the six months ended June 30, 1995.  As noted above, the $335 million
     bankcard receivable securitization and sale resulted in a $5.9 million
     decrease in net interest income.  Absent the impact of the
     securitization, net interest income increased $5.4 million primarily
     as a result of an increase in net free funds.  The net interest margin
     for the first six months of 1996 was 4.25% compared to 4.61% for the
     first six months of 1995.  The decrease in the net interest margin
     in the first six months of 1996 was due to narrower spreads on loans
     and deposits.  In addition, the bankcard receivable securitization
     and sale resulted in a 7 basis point decline in the net interest margin.

          An analysis of fully tax equivalent net interest income,
     interest rate spreads and net interest margins for the three months
     and six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 is presented in Table 2
     and 3.

     Provision for Credit Losses 

          No provision for credit losses was recorded in the second quarter
     of 1996 compared to a $4.0 million provision for credit losses in the
     second quarter of 1995.  The second quarter of 1995 provision for credit
     losses included a $5.9 million bankcard provision offset by a provision
     recapture of $2.0 million at a subsidiary bank.  The securitization and
     sale of $335 million in bankcard receivables in the second quarter of
     1996 resulted in a reduction in the level of bankcard receivables without
     a corresponding reduction in the allowance for credit losses.
     Approximately $17 million of the allowance for credit losses was
     reallocated from the bankcard receivables sold to the remaining book
     portfolio in light of increasing delinquency and charge-off trends.

         The provision for credit losses for the six months ended June 30,
     1996 totaled $4.0 million, a $4.0 million decrease (49.8%) from the
     $8.0 million provision recorded in the six months ended June 30, 1995.
     The 1995 provision for credit losses included a $10.0 million bankcard
     provision offset by a provision recapture of $2.0 million at a
     subsidiary bank.  As noted above, no loan loss provisions for bankcard
     receivables were recorded in the second quarter of 1996 due to the
     securitization and sale of $335 million in bankcard receivables which
     did not result in a corresponding reduction in the allowance for credit
     losses.

     </TABLE>

          The Corporation's noninterest income for the second quarter of
     1996 increased $5.4 million (11.3%) when compared to the second quarter
     of 1995.  Service charges on deposits increased $1.6 million (8.9%)
     due to a $1.3 million increase in service charges on business checking.
     Mortgage banking income increased $3.8 million (127.2%) as a result of
     a $5.9 million increase in gains on the sale of servicing.  This
     increase was partially offset by $1.2 million in capitalized mortgage
     servicing rights income recorded in the second quarter of 1995 resulting
     from the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
     122, "Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights" ("SFAS 122") and a
     $1.0 million decline in other mortgage banking income.  Trust fees
     increased $1.4 million (27.8%) due to increases in personal trust fees,
     custody fees and ARK management fees.  Servicing income from securitized
     assets increased $1.7 million (37.3%) as a result of $1.9 million in
     servicing income from the securitization and sale of an additional $335
     million in bankcard receivables in April 1996.  Bankcard charges and fees
     decreased $2.4 million (53.7%) primarily due to the securitization and
     sale of an additional $335 million in bankcard receivables which
     shifted $1.5 million in fee income to servicing income from asset sales.
     In addition, credit card income declined because the cost of promotional
     incentives to new customers on cobranded credit cards exceeded the
     fee income generated by these credit card relationships in 1996.
     Securities gains of $905 thousand were recorded in the second quarter of
     1996 compared to $1.5 million in securities gains in the second quarter
     of 1995.  Securities sales are discussed in detail under "Changes in
     Financial Position."  Trading income increased $1.2 million.  Other
     income decreased $1.6 million (20.2%) primarily due to the following
     income recorded in the second quarter of 1995:  $500 thousand from an
     other real estate owned property and $493 thousand from the sale of
     stock in partial satisfaction of a loan obligation.  In addition, gains
     on the disposal of other real estate owned decreased $900 thousand.

     Noninterest Income (cont'd)


          The Corporation's noninterest income for the first six months of
     1996 increased $8.4 million (8.9%) when compared to the first six
     months of 1995.  Service charges on deposits increased $3.0 million
     (8.4%) due to a $2.1 million increase in service charges on business
     checking and a $1.0 million increase in retail deposit service charges.
     Mortgage banking income increased $4.9 million (71.0%) as a result of
     a $5.9 million increase in gains on the sale of servicing, a $965
     thousand increase in mortgage placement fees and a $974 thousand
     increase in origination fees and document review fees.  These increases
     were partially offset by $1.2 million in capitalized mortgage servicing
     rights income recorded in the second quarter of 1995 resulting
     from the adoption of SFAS 122 and a $1.8 million decline in other
     mortgage banking income.  Trust fees increased $3.2 million (31.2%) due
     to increases in personal trust fees, custody fees and ARK management
     fees.  Servicing income from securitized assets increased $3.1 million
     (34.8%) as a result of $1.9 million in servicing income from the
     securitization and sale of an additional $335 million in bankcard
     receivables in April 1996.  In addition, servicing income from the
     Corporation's securitized manufactured housing receivables increased
     primarily due to a $2.3 million decrease in servicing income set aside
     for credit losses.  These increases were partially offset by a $1.1
     million decline in securitized bankcard receivables net yields.
     Bankcard charges and fees decreased $2.6 million (29.4%) primarily
     due to the securitization and sale of an additional $335 million in
     bankcard receivables which shifted $1.5 million in fee income to
     servicing income from asset sales.  In addition, credit card income
     declined because the cost of promotional incentives to new customers
     on cobranded credit cards exceeded the fee income generated by these
     credit card relationships in 1996.  Securities gains of $301 thousand
     were recorded in the first six months of 1996 compared to $1.8 million
     in securities gains in the first six months of 1995.  Securities sales
     are discussed in detail under "Changes in Financial Position."  Other
     income decreased $3.1 million (20.8%) primarily due to the following
     income recorded in the first six months of 1995:  $875 thousand in
     nonaccrual fees and interest payments on two loans, $675 thousand from
     an other real estate owned property and $493 thousand from the sale
     of stock in partial satisfaction of a loan obligation.  In addition,
     gains on the disposal of other real estate owned declined $967 thousand.

          The Corporation's noninterest expenses for the second quarter of
     1996 increased $2.8 million (3.0%) when compared to the second quarter
     of 1995.  Salaries and wages increased $479 thousand (1.1%).  Other
     personnel costs increased $1.4 million (13.9%) primarily due to a
     $659 thousand increase in employee retirement expenses and a $452
     thousand increase in healthcare costs.  External services increased
     $1.5 million (29.6%) primarily as a result of higher servicing costs
     associated with growth in the bankcard receivables portfolio and
     outsourced processing associated with a government automated tax
     payment program.  Professional fees increased $1.0 million (67.6%)
     due to an increase in consulting fees.  Regulatory fees and insurance
     decreased $3.0 million (77.2%) as a result of a reduction in the
     Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") assessment rate.


          The Corporation's noninterest expenses for the first six months
     of 1996 increased $5.7 million (3.0%) when compared to the first six
     months of 1995.  Salaries and wages increased $2.7 million (3.2%)
     primarily due to a $2.1 million increase in regular salary expense
     and a $640 thousand increase in severance expenses.  Other personnel
     costs increased $4.4 million (21.3%) primarily as a result of a $2.8
     million increase in employee retirement expenses which included $1.0
     million in pension settlements in 1996, a $643 thousand increase in
     healthcare costs and a $568 thousand increase in payroll taxes.
     Equipment costs increased $1.3 million (8.3%) primarily due to higher
     maintenance and depreciation expenses in 1996.  External services
     increased $2.1 million (21.7%) primarily as a result of higher servicing
     costs associated with growth in the bankcard receivables portfolio and
     outsourced processing associated with a government automated tax
     payment program.  Postage and communications increased $1.1 million
     (15.1%) primarily due to an increase in communications expense in 1996.
     Advertising and public relations decreased $1.3 million (14.7%).
     Professional fees increased $1.1 million (31.7%) due to an increase
     in consulting fees.  Regulatory fees and insurance decreased $6.1
     million (77.7%) as a result of a reduction in the FDIC assessment
     rate.

     Changes in Financial Position


     Investment Securities

          Available-for-Sale Portfolio

          Investment securities available-for-sale decreased $382.2 million
     from December 31, 1995 to June 30, 1996.  In the first quarter of 1996,
     $109.8 million in U.S. Treasury securities were sold, resulting in
     losses of $555 thousand and $241.0 million in mortgage-backed obligations
     ("MBS's") were sold, resulting in losses of $48 thousand.  In the second
     quarter of 1996, $330.3 million in U.S. Treasury securities were
     sold, resulting in losses of $34 thousand; $83.5 million in MBS's were
     sold, resulting in gains of $982 thousand; $8.7 million in collateralized
     mortgage obligations ("CMO's") were sold, resulting in losses of
     $54 thousand and $52 thousand in equity securities were sold, resulting
     in gains of $20 thousand.  Paydowns, maturities and/or calls on the
     available-for-sale securities totaled $10.2 billion in the first
     six months of 1996.  These decreases in the portfolio were
     offset by $10.6 billion in purchases which included the following:
     $10.1 billion in U.S. Treasury and U.S. Government Agencies
     securities, $305.8 million in MBS's, $127.7 million in other debt
     securities, $38.7 million in CMO's, $6.5 million in obligations of
     state and political subdivisions and $2.9 million in equity securities.
     The fair value of the available-for-sale portfolio at June 30, 1996
     was $12.2 million below the amortized cost compared to a fair value at
     December 31,1995 which was $39.6 million above the amortized cost.
     This change in the fair value resulted in a $32.1 million net adjustment
     to the unrealized gains (losses) on available-for-sale securities which
     is included as a component of stockholders' equity.  Table 6 provides
     information on the gross unrealized gains and losses of the available-
     for-sale portfolio at June 30, 1996.

     Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
     and Results of Operations-(Continued)


     Loan Portfolio

          Total loans, net of unearned income decreased from $6.1 billion
     at December 31, 1995 to $6.0 billion at June 30, 1996.  The $103.8
     million (1.7%) decrease was primarily due to the securitization and
     sale of an additional $335 million in bankcard receivables which
     occurred on April 23, 1996.

          Commercial loans decreased $15.6 million (0.9%) from December 31,
     1995 to June 30, 1996, but increased $23.9 million (1.4%) over the
     same period last year.  Month-end balances can show large fluctuations
     due to the transactional nature of large corporate customers that
     borrow for short periods of time under revolving facilities.  Large
     corporate borrowers from the multi-national sector continue to provide
     financing opportunities for the Corporation.

          Commercial real estate loans, which include both construction and
     commercial mortgages, declined $19.2 million (1.5%) from December 31,
     1995 to June 30, 1996.  The commercial real estate portfolio continues
     to be well-balanced by property type and geographically centered in
     the Corporation's regional marketplace as reflected in Tables 8 and 9.

          Residential mortgages decreased $23.8 million (3.7%) since
     December 31, 1995.  Recent interest rates have slowed consumer interest
     in refinancing.  The Corporation originates residential mortgages
     primarily for sale in the secondary market.  Originations for the
     Corporation's permanent portfolio are principally low income housing
     and adjustable rate products.

          Retail loans increased $169.0 million (15.4%) from December 31,
     1995 to June 30, 1996.  Most of the retail loan growth resulted from
     a successful home equity product promotion.

          Bankcard outstandings decreased $249.9 million (38.2%) since
     December 31, 1995.  If the impact of the April 23, 1996 securitization
     is excluded, bankcard outstandings grew by $85.1 million (13.0%).

          Leases receivable increased $32.1 million (9.6%) since December 31,
     1995.  Approximately 74% of the growth occurred in commercial leases
     with the remainder in retail leases.

          Foreign loans increased $3.7 million (1.1%) from December 31, 1995
     to June 30, 1996.  The growth occurred in loans to customers within
     the shipping industry.

          The Corporation monitors exposure based on industry classifications
     and establishes exposure limits that are reviewed by the Board of
     Directors.  Significant exposures by industry classification in the
     loan portfolio are presented in Table 7.

     Asset Quality


     Nonperforming Assets

          Nonperforming assets totaled $43.4 million at June 30, 1996,
     a decrease of $1.4 million when compared to nonperforming assets of
     $44.8 million at December 31, 1995.  The most significant changes in
     nonperforming assets in the six months ended June 30, 1996 were
     the following:  paydowns of $8.3 million, loans reclassified to
     accrual status of $1.4 million, other real estate owned sales of
     $1.3 million and charge-offs of $1.4 million.  These decreases were
     partially offset by $11.0 million in additions to nonperforming assets
     primarily due to the transfer of loans to nonaccrual status.  The
     most significant paydowns were on a variety of commercial and real
     estate transactions in which cash payments were received on nonaccrual
     loans.  Loans returned to accrual status were residential loans which
     met the regulatory tests for return to accrual status.  The most
     significant charge-off was $1.0 million on a nonaccrual construction
     loan.  Information on the Corporation's impaired loans is included in
     Note 4 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

     Deposits

          Total deposits decreased $121.1 million from December 31, 1995 to
     June 30, 1996.  Core deposits totaled $6.3 billion at June 30, 1996
     and at December 31, 1995.  Interest bearing demand deposits decreased
     $405.8 million offset by a $437.8 million increase in money market
     deposits.  During the first quarter of 1996, the Corporation
     introduced a new sweep product which resulted in a decrease in
     interest bearing demand deposits with an offsetting increase in
     money market deposits.  This shift in deposits resulted in a
     reduction in the level of required reserves that the Corporation
     must maintain in cash and noninterest earning balances with the
     Federal Reserve Bank.  Purchased deposits, which include large
     denomination time and foreign time deposits, decreased $87.5
     million.

          Total deposits increased $54.6 million from June 30, 1995 to
     June 30, 1996.  Core deposits increased $267.4 million primarily due
     to increases in money market deposits of $403.0 million and noninterest
     bearing demand deposits of $172.4 million.  As noted above, the
     the increase in money market deposits was offset by a decline in
     interest bearing demand deposits of $351.8 million which was primarily
     due to the introduction of a new sweep product.  Purchased deposits
     decreased $212.7 million.

     Pending Transactions

          On January 24, 1996, the Corporation announced that it had
     entered into a definitive agreement to acquire 1st Washington Bancorp,
     Inc. ("1st Washington"), a savings and loan holding company headquartered
     in Herndon, Virginia, whose principal subsidiary is Washington Federal
     Savings Bank ("WFSB").  Under the terms of the agreement, the
     shareholders of 1st Washington will receive $8.125 in cash per share,
     for a total purchase price of $83.5 million.  At June 30, 1996,
     1st Washington had $817 million in total assets and $429 million
     in total deposits and conducted its business from offices in
     Washington, D.C., Northern Virginia and Maryland.  On July 16, 1996,
     the Corporation announced that it had completed its acquisition of
     1st Washington.  Thirteen of WFSB's offices will become offices of
     The First National Bank of Maryland ("First National"), the principal
     subsidiary of First Maryland Bancorp, effective August 5, 1996.  Four
     offices be closed because of proximity to existing First National
     offices.

          In the first quarter of 1996, the Corporation decided to exit
     the mortgage servicing business.  Of its $1.6 billion servicing
     portfolio, the Corporation sold $669 million in the second quarter
     of 1996 which resulted in net gains on the sale of servicing of $3.6
     million.  The Corporation has entered into an agreement to sell an
     additional $469 million of its servicing portfolio.  The anticipated
     net gain on this sale of servicing is approximately $6.4 million.
     This sale is subject to regulatory approval and is expected to settle
     during the third quarter of 1996.

          The Corporation has entered into a subservicing agreement to
     service the remainder of its mortgage servicing portfolio and to
     provide interim servicing for future loan originations until the
     originated mortgage servicing is sold.

     ----------------
     (1) Interest on loans to and obligations of public entities is not subject to Federal income tax.
         In order to make pre-tax yields comparable to taxable loans and investments, a tax equivalent
         adjustment is used based on a 35% Federal tax rate.
     (2) Yields on investment securities available-for-sale are calculated based upon average amortized cost.
     (3) Nonaccrual loans are included under the appropriate loan categories as earning assets.
     (4) Interest rate spread is the difference between the yield on average earning assets and the rate paid
         on average interest bearing liabilities.
     (5) Net interest margin is the ratio of net interest income on a fully tax-equivalent basis to
         average earning assets.

     (1) Interest on loans to and obligations of public entities is not subject to Federal income tax.
         In order to make pre-tax yields comparable to taxable loans and investments, a tax equivalent
         adjustment is used based on a 35% Federal tax rate.
     (2) Yields on investment securities available-for-sale are calculated based upon average amortized cost.
     (3) Nonaccrual loans are included under the appropriate loan categories as earning assets.
     (4) Interest rate spread is the difference between the yield on average earning assets and the rate paid
         on average interest bearing liabilities.
     (5) Net interest margin is the ratio of net interest income on a fully tax-equivalent basis to
         average earning assets.
