1.  Basis of Presentation

     The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of First
Maryland Bancorp and Subsidiaries ("The Corporation") have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all information and footnotes
required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial

normal, recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation have been
included. Certain amounts in prior periods have been reclassified for
comparative purposes. Operating results for the six month period ended June 30,
1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the
year ended December 31, 1999. These unaudited financial statements should be

4.   Line of Business Reporting

     The Corporation has determined that its major lines of business are those
that are based on the Corporation's method of internal reporting, which
separates its business on the basis of products and services. The Corporation's
reportable business lines are Retail Banking, Corporate Banking, Real Estate
Finance, Trust and Investment Advisory Services, and Treasury. Retail Banking
provides loans, deposits, mutual fund and annuity products, and credit life
insurance to consumers and commercial small business customers. Corporate
Banking provides commercial loans, letters of credit, derivative financial
instruments, foreign exchange and cash management products and services to
domestic and international corporate customers. Real Estate Finance provides
construction and property loans and letters of credit to domestic corporate
customers. It is also involved in mortgage banking activities related to
multi-family housing loan programs and residential mortgage lending. Trust and
Investment Advisory Services provides investment advisory, investment, and
fiduciary services to individual, institutional and corporate clients. Treasury
is responsible for managing and controlling the liquidity, funding and market
risk needs of the Corporation. Other business lines includes smaller business
units. The revenues and expenses in other business lines are primarily related
to merchant services. Lines of business from which the Corporation has exited
are classified under discontinued business lines. Discontinued business lines
include any gain or loss realized on the sale of the assets of the business
line. As the table indicates, gains on the sale of credit card loans in 1998
have been classified under discontinued business lines. Other includes
inter-segment income elimination and unallocated income and expenses, including
goodwill and other intangible asset amortization. Other also receives a credit
for funds provided and charges for funds used.


     The Corporation's internal accounting process is based on practices which
support the management structure of the Corporation, and the resulting data is
not necessarily comparable with similar information from other financial
institutions. Net income reflects costs directly associated with each business
line plus an appropriate share of corporate overhead expenses. A match funded
transfer pricing system is used to allocate interest income and expense, with a
business line receiving credit for funds provided and charges for funds used.
Loan loss provisions and the allowance for credit losses are allocated based on
the credit risk of each business line's loan portfolio and the changes therein.
Capital is assigned to each business line based on regulatory risk-based capital
guidelines. Interest rate risk is aggregated from all lines and classified under
"Treasury". In addition, Treasury includes investment portfolio revenue,
wholesale funding expenses and other revenue and expenses associated with the
Treasury unit.

4.  Line of Business Reporting (continued)

         The following tables present operating information about each of the
Corporation's business lines for the three months and six months ended June 30,
1999. Net interest income is presented on a fully tax equivalent ("FTE") basis,
therefore, interest income from tax exempt earning assets is increased by an
amount equivalent to the federal income taxes that would have been paid if this
income was taxable at the statutory Federal Income tax rate of 35%. The offset
to this adjustment is made to income tax expense.

5.   Subsequent Events

     On July 13, 1999, the Corporation issued 100,000 Floating Rate
Non-Cumulative Subordinated Capital Trust Enhanced Securities ("SKATES") at a
price to investors of $98.9 million. Each SKATES pays a non-cumulative quarterly
distribution of three month LIBOR plus 1.50%, reset quarterly. Until October 15,
1999 the distribution rate on the SKATES will be 6.81%. These securities will be
classified as long-term debt on the Consolidated Statement of Condition. On July
14, 1999, the proceeds from the issuance of the SKATES, as well as other funding
sources, were used to redeem the Corporation's 7.875% Non-cumulative Preferred
Stock at a redemption price of $25.00 per share plus accrued and unpaid
dividends from the immediately preceding dividend payment date to the redemption
date of $2.4 million.


6.   Stock Options

     During the second quarter of 1999, the Corporation implemented an employee
stock option program called Allfirst Shares. Each full and part-time employee
who was eligible for employee benefits and was with the Company as of May 4,
1999 received an option to purchase up to 100 ordinary share American Depository
Receipts ("ADRs") of Allied Irish Banks, p.l.c., the Corporation's parent
("AIB"). A total of 602,200 options were granted. The option grant price is
$31.67 per ADR, the fair market value of the ADRs at the date of the grant. The
options may be exercised: (i) any time after May 4, 2002 and before May 4, 2004,
as long as the closing price of AIB ADRs has equaled or exceeded 150% of the
exercise price for five consecutive days at any time after the grant date; or
(ii) any time after May 4, 2004, regardless of the price of the ADRs. The
options must be exercised within 10 years or they will expire. The Allfirst
Shares program is part of the 1997 Stock Option Plan described below.

     The Corporation's 1997 Stock Option Plan provides for the grant to key
employees of options to acquire AIB ADRs. The options are granted at no less
than the fair market value of the stock at the date of the grant. Other options
granted on February 9, 1999 and May 4, 1999 vest one half in 24 months and one
half in 36 months from the grant date and must be exercised within 10 years of
the grant date or they will expire.

     The Corporation and an independent trustee created a trust which acquired
AIB ADRs in the open market with the proceeds of a loan from the Corporation.
Proceeds of option exercises and any dividends and other earnings on the trust
assets will be used to repay the loan to the trust. Option holders have no
preferential rights with respect to the trust assets, and the trust assets are
subject to the claims of the Corporation's general creditors in the event of
insolvency. The AIB ADRs held by the trust are classified on the Corporation's
financial statements as investment securities available-for-sale. At June 30,
1999, investment securities available-for-sale included $72.3 million AIB common
ADRs related to the Allfirst Shares Plan and other options granted under the
1997 Stock Option Plan. Any decline in value of the AIB ADRs in the trust will
be reflected as an unrealized loss on investment securities available-for-sale
and reflected in other comprehensive income in stockholders' equity. AIB will
not issue any securities in connection with the Stock Option Plan, will not
receive any proceeds from the exercise of the options, and otherwise has no
rights or obligations with respect to the Stock Option Plan.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

     Certain information included in the following section of this report, other
than historical information, may contain forward-looking statements within the
meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The
forward-looking statements are identified by terminology such as "may", "will",
"believe", "expect", "estimate", "anticipate", "continue", or similar terms.
Actual results may differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking
statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from
those in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: global,
national and regional economic conditions; levels of market interest rates;
credit or other risks of lending and investment activities; competitive and
regulatory factors; and technological change.

ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

     The Corporation's total assets at June 30, 1999 were $17.7 billion, a $606
million decrease from total assets at December 31, 1998. The primary components
of the decrease were cash and due from banks which decreased $224 million,
Federal funds sold and securities purchased under resale agreements which
decreased $121 million, and investment securities available for sale which
decreased $529 million. The decline in cash and due from banks and the decrease
in Federal funds sold and securities purchased under resale agreements coincides
with a lower level of noninterest bearing demand deposits. These decreases in
assets were partially offset by an increase in loans and leases receivable and
other assets which increased $164 million and $231 million, respectively, when
compared to December 31, 1998. The increase in other assets included a $144
million increase in the fair value of foreign exchange forward and option
contracts.

     At June 30, 1999, investment securities available for sale of $4.3 billion
had net unrealized losses of $82.7 million compared to net unrealized gains of
$39.3 million at December 31, 1998. The taxable equivalent yield on the entire
securities portfolio for the quarter ended June 30, 1999 was 6.11% compared to
6.54% for the second quarter of 1998. Investment securities sold in the first
quarter of 1999 totaled $722 million and generated pre-tax gains of $5.3
million. The majority of the securities sold were U.S. Treasury securities and
mortgage backed securities which were sold to reduce the duration of the
investment securities portfolio. In the first quarter of 1999, the Corporation
purchased $976 million of investment securities to replace $283 million of
maturities, calls and paydowns of securities and the securities sold. First
quarter purchases were primarily U.S. government agency securities, mortgage
backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations. Investment securities
sold in the second quarter of 1999 totaled $608 million and generated pre-tax
losses of $292 thousand. The securities sold were primarily Federal agency
securities and mortgage backed securities. The Federal agency securities were
sold to improve the yield of the investment portfolio, while the mortgage backed
securities were sold to reduce the duration of the investment portfolio. In the
second quarter of 1999, the Corporation purchased $438 million of investment
securities to replace $209 million of maturities, calls and paydowns of
securities and the some of the securities sold. Second quarter purchases were
primarily collateralized mortgage obligations.

     Loans and leases increased $164 million when compared to December 31, 1998.
Growth in commercial loans, retail loans and commercial real estate loans was
offset by decreases in other loan portfolios. Commercial loans increased $62
million, with growth primarily in the National/Large Corporate portfolios.
Commercial real estate loans increased $137 million. Increased demand for
commercial real estate financing was prompted by a decline in commercial real
estate vacancies and an increase in commercial real estate rental rates in the
Mid-Atlantic region. Retail loans increased $127 million due to growth in home
equity loans and indirect auto loans. Residential mortgage loans declined $113
million due to loan maturities and prepayments prompted by the favorable
interest rate environment. Foreign loans decreased $65 million due to a decline
in foreign maritime loans which resulted from loan charge-offs and loan
paydowns.

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

     Significant fluctuations in liabilities included a $381 million decline in
noninterest bearing deposits from December 31, 1998 primarily due to normal
seasonal fluctuations in demand deposit balances. Interest bearing deposits
increased $80 million primarily due to growth in purchased deposits which
increased $686 million from December 31, 1998. Excluding purchased deposits,
interest bearing deposits decreased $606 million primarily due to a $381 million
decrease in money market deposits, a $235 million decrease in consumer time
deposits and a $22 million decrease in interest bearing demand deposits. These
decreases were offset by a $33 million increase in savings deposits. The
decrease in money market deposits is due to a $202 million decline in deposits
from a financial services customer and the withdrawal of a $125 million mortgage
escrow deposit from a corporate customer. Competitive pressures from non-bank
financial services companies continue to be strong, especially mutual fund
companies and broker dealers. The decline in consumer time deposits evidences
the consumer trend toward higher yielding non-insured investment vehicles. To
the extent that the Corporation must replace noninterest bearing or interest
bearing deposits with purchased funds, the Corporation's cost of funds
increases. Accrued taxes and other liabilities increased $150 million from
December 31, 1998 primarily due to a $102 million increase in the fair value of
foreign exchange options and forward contracts.


Asset Quality

     Nonperforming assets were $93.0 million at June 30, 1999, compared to
$100.9 million at December 31, 1998, a decrease of $7.9 million. Nonaccrual
loans decreased $5.2 million. Additions to nonperforming loans in the first half
of 1999 aggregated $28.8 million. These additions were offset by reductions in
nonaccrual loans totaling $34.0 million due to paydowns and payoffs of
nonaccrual loans totaling $14.0 million, charge-offs of $7.4 million, loans
returned to accrual status of $6.2 million and transfers to other real estate
and other assets owned of $6.4 million.

     Other real estate and other assets owned decreased $0.7 million when
compared to December 31, 1998. Additions to other real estate owned totaled $4.7
million, including transfers from nonaccrual loans of $3.7 million. Sales and
paydowns of other real estate owned totaled $6.0 million. Repossessed assets
increased $0.6 million.

     Other nonperforming assets increased $1.9 million when compared to December
31, 1998. Other nonperforming assets includes $21.1 million in nonperforming
maritime loans. The Corporation has classified these loans as other
nonperforming assets because 1) the value of the loan collateral is equal to the
loan principal and 2) the structure of these loans provides compensation for
increased risk by incorporating revenue sharing rights and other collateral
rights, which will be triggered by certain events, into the loan agreement.
These loans have been valued based on the estimated cash flows from the shipping
vessels' operations as well as independent valuations. In addition, other
nonperforming assets also includes a $2.8 million ownership interest in a
commercial aircraft resulting from a lessee default on a commercial lease in
which the Corporation was a participant. This asset is carried at fair value.

     The provision for credit losses for the second quarter of 1999 was $9.3
million compared to $5.3 million in the second quarter of 1998. The increase in
the provision was primarily due to a $2.8 million increase in retail net
charge-offs and a $1.5 million increase in commercial net charge-offs in 1999.
The provision for credit losses for the six months ended June 30, 1999 was $21.0
million compared to a provision for credit losses of $14.1 million for the first
half of 1998. The increase in provision was primarily due to a $6.3 million
increase in foreign loan net charge-offs, a $4.2 million increase in retail net
charge-offs and a $1.6 million increase in residential mortgage net charge-offs.
These increases were offset by a $3.2 million decrease in credit card net
charge-offs due to the sale of substantially all of the Corporation's credit
card receivables in the first quarter of 1998 and a $1.6 million decrease in
commercial real estate net charge-offs. The increase in retail charge-offs in
1999 is primarily related to charge-offs of retail deposit overdrafts which
occurred after system conversions in 1998. The issues causing these overdrafts
have been resolved and this trend is not expected to continue.

     The foreign maritime loan portfolio has been negatively affected by
economic adversity in certain international markets, particularly in Asia, that
have depressed the dry bulk and tanker shipping industries. Recently the dry
bulk shipping industry has shown signs of improvement, however; the tanker
market continues to be weak. At June 30, 1999, the Corporation's total
international maritime exposure was $274 million, including loans and leases of
$222 million, $21 million in other foreign maritime assets, and $31 million in
unfunded loan commitments, letters of credit and risk participations.
Nonperforming assets at June 30, 1999 included $6.7 million in nonaccrual
maritime loans and $21.1 million in other nonperforming maritime assets.

     The following table details information on the allowance for credit losses
and net charge-offs for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 and risk
assets at June 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998.

CAPITAL ADEQUACY AND RESOURCES

     The Corporation's capital strength provides the resources and flexibility
to capitalize on business growth and acquisition opportunities. At June 30,
1999, the Corporation's tier 1 risk based capital ratio was 9.41% ($1.4 billion
of tier 1 capital) and its total risk based capital ratio was 12.80% ($1.9
billion of total risk based capital). Tier 1 capital consists primarily of
common shareholder's equity and non-cumulative preferred instruments less
goodwill and certain intangible assets, while total risk-based capital adds
qualifying subordinated debt and the allowance for credit losses, within
permitted limits, to tier 1 capital. Risk weighted assets are determined by
assigning various levels of risk to different categories of assets and
off-balance-sheet activities.

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


     The Federal Reserve Board's regulatory capital guidelines require a minimum
total capital to risk adjusted assets ratio of 8.0%. One-half of the 8.0%
minimum must consist of tangible common shareholders' equity (tier 1 capital).
The leverage ratio measures tier 1 capital to average assets less goodwill and
other disallowed intangible assets and must be maintained in conjunction with
the risk-based capital standards. The regulatory minimum for the leverage ratio
is 3.0%; however, this minimum applies only to top rated banking organizations
without any operating, financial or supervisory deficiencies. Other
organizations, (including those experiencing or anticipating significant growth)
are expected to hold an additional capital cushion of at least 100 to 200 basis
points of tier 1 capital and, in all cases, banking organizations should hold
capital commensurate with the level and nature of all risks, including the
volume and severity of problem loans, to which they are exposed.

     Substantially the same capital requirements are applied to the
Corporation's banking subsidiaries under guidelines issued by the Federal
Reserve Board and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. As illustrated
in the following table, at June 30, 1999 the Corporation and its banking
subsidiaries were "well capitalized" as defined by regulatory authorities.

     On July 13, 1999, the Corporation issued 100,000 Floating Rate
Non-Cumulative Subordinated Capital Trust Enhanced Securities ("SKATES") at a
price to investors of $98.9 million. Each SKATES pays a non-cumulative quarterly
distribution of three month LIBOR plus 1.50%, reset quarterly. Until October 15,
1999 the distribution rate on the SKATES will be 6.81%. These securities will be
classified as long-term debt on the Consolidated Statement of Condition and will
qualify as tier 1 capital, with the limitation that the SKATES and other
qualifying capital trust preferred securities cannot exceed 25% of Tier 1
capital. On July 14, 1999, the proceeds from the issuance of the SKATES, as well
as other funding sources, were used to redeem the Corporation's 7.875%
Non-cumulative Preferred Stock at a redemption price of $25.00 per share plus
accrued and unpaid dividends from the immediately preceding dividend payment
date to the redemption date of $2.4 million. The Corporation's tier 1, total,
and leverage regulatory capital ratios are 8.78%, 12.69% and 7.72%,
respectively, on a pro forma basis after issuance of the SKATES and redemption
of the preferred stock. Tier 1 capital on a pro forma basis includes $27 million
of the SKATES. The remaining balance of the SKATES is included in tier 2
capital.

LIQUIDITY

     Dividends from subsidiaries are the primary source of funds for the debt
service requirements of First Maryland Bancorp. Dividends from subsidiaries
totaled $141.2 million in the first half of 1999. Management is confident that
the earnings and dividend capacity of its subsidiary banks will be adequate to
service interest obligations on long-term debt of the Corporation. On March 30,
1999, the Corporation paid a dividend of $90 million to its sole common
shareholder, Allied Irish Banks, p.l.c.

ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     During the second quarter of 1999, the Corporation introduced its new
Allfirst brand name and logo. On June 28, 1999, most of the Corporation's
subsidiary names were changed to incorporate the new Allfirst brand identity.
The name of the Corporation's lead bank changed from FMB Bank to Allfirst Bank
on this date. The Corporation expects to change its name to Allfirst Financial
Inc. in the near future.

     The net income of the Corporation for the three months ended June 30, 1999
was $37.6 million, compared to $47.5 million for the three months ended June 30,
1998. Net income for the second quarter of 1999 included $6.1 million in after
tax costs ($10.0 million pre-tax) associated with the Allfirst brand
introduction. Net income for the second quarter of 1998 included a $6.2 million
net after tax gain on the sale of investment securities ($9.9 million pre-tax).
Return on average assets and return on average common stockholder's equity were
0.85% and 7.82%, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 1999 compared
to 1.12% and 9.87% for the three months ended June 30, 1998.

     The net income of the Corporation for the six months ended June 30, 1999
was $80.0 million, compared to $143.2 million for the six months ended June 30,
1998. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 1999 included $6.1 million in
after tax costs associated with the Allfirst brand introduction and net after
tax securities gains totaling $3.0 million ($5.0 million pre-tax). Net income
for the six months ended June 30, 1998 included a $37.4 million after tax gain
($60.0 million pre-tax) on the sale of credit card receivables and $25.5 million
in net after tax securities gains ($40.4 million pre-tax). Return on average
assets and return on average common stockholder's equity were 0.91% and 8.19%,
respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 1999 compared to 1.70% and
15.43% for the six months ended June 30, 1998.

     Tangible net income, which excludes amortization of goodwill and other
intangible assets related to purchase business combinations, was $49.0 million
for the three months ended June 30, 1999 compared to $59.6 million for the three
months ended June 30, 1998. Excluding the one-time costs associated with the
Allfirst brand introduction, tangible net income was $55.1 million and return on
average tangible assets and return on average tangible common equity were 1.32%
and 22.34%, respectively, for the second quarter of 1999. Tangible net income
for the second quarter of 1998, excluding after tax investment securities gains
was $53.4 million and return on average tangible assets and return on average
tangible equity were 1.33% and 22.46%, respectively. As noted above under "Asset
Quality", net income for the second quarter of 1999 was adversely affected by
charge-offs and collection expenses associated with the foreign maritime
portfolio.

     Tangible net income for the six months ended June 30, 1999 was $102.8
million compared to $167.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 1998.
Excluding the one-time costs associated with the Allfirst brand introduction and
net after tax securities gains, tangible net income was $105.9 million and
return on average tangible assets and return on average tangible equity were
1.27% and 20.84%, respectively. Tangible net income for the six months ended
June 30, 1998, excluding the gain on the sale of credit card receivables and net
after tax securities gains was $104.8 million and return on average tangible
assets and return on average tangible common equity were 1.32% and 22.70%,
respectively. The results for the six months ended June 30, 1999 were adversely
affected by charge-offs and collection expenses associated with the foreign
maritime portfolio.

     of Operations-(Continued)

Net Interest Income

     The largest source of the Corporation's net income is net interest income.
For analytical purposes, net interest income is adjusted to a "taxable
equivalent" basis to recognize the income tax savings on tax exempt assets. Net
interest income on a tax equivalent basis for the second quarter of 1999 was
$138.5 million, a decrease of $1.7 million when compared to net interest income
for the second quarter of 1998. The decrease in net interest income is primarily
due to an eleven basis point decline in the spread between the yield on earning
assets and the rate paid on interest bearing liabilities ("net interest
spread"). The impact of the decrease in net interest spread was partially offset
by a $586 million (4%) increase in interest earning assets when the quarter
ended June 30, 1999 is compared to the quarter ended June 30, 1998.

     The Corporation's net interest margin was 3.64% for the second quarter of
1999 compared to 3.84% for the second quarter of 1998. The decline in net
interest margin is primarily due to a lower net interest spread and a nine basis
point decrease in the contribution from interest free sources of funds.

     Net interest income on a tax equivalent basis for the six months ended June
30, 1999 was $273.5 million, a decrease of $7.1 million when compared to net
interest income for the six months ended June 30, 1998. The decrease in net
interest income is primarily due to a twenty basis point decline in the net
interest spread for the six months ended June 30, 1999. The impact of the
decrease in net interest spread was partially offset by a $645 million (4.4%)
increase in interest earning assets.

     The Corporation's net interest margin was 3.61% for the six months ended
June 30, 1999 compared to 3.86% for the six months ended June 30, 1998. The
decline in net interest margin is primarily due to a lower net interest spread
and a nine basis point decrease in the contribution from interest free sources
of funds.

     The following tables provide additional information on the Corporation's
average balances, interest yields and rates, and net interest margin for the
three months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 and the six months ended June 30, 1999
and 1998.

- ---------------------------
(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)  Net interest 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)  Net interest 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.

income increased $5.1 million when compared to June 30, 1998. Securities sales
and fees decreased $2.8 million due to the sale of Hopper Soliday in January

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

     The Corporation's noninterest income for the six months ended June 30, 1999
was $167.1 million, a $102.2 million (38.0%) decrease from noninterest income
for the six months ended June 30, 1998. Noninterest income for the first half of
1999 included investment securities gains of $5.0 million. Noninterest income
for the first half of 1998 benefited from a $60.0 million gain on the sale of
credit card loans and gains on the sale of investment securities of $40.4
million. Excluding these items, total fees and other income decreased $6.9
million (4.1%) when compared to 1998. Service charges on deposit accounts
increased $3.8 million (7.2%) due to increases in both retail and corporate
deposit service charges. Trust and investment advisory fees increased $5.8
million (17.0%) due to a higher level of proprietary funds management fees,
personal trust fees and investment advisory fees. Credit card income increased
$2.7 million (24.1%) due to an increase in debit card interchange income and
merchant discount income in 1999. Mortgage banking income declined $15.5 million
(72.7%) due to the sale of the residential mortgage origination businesses in
the first quarter of 1998. Income from non-residential mortgage banking
activities increased $1.4 million when compared to 1998. Other income decreased
$3.6 million (7.4%). Securities sales and fees decreased $7.5 million due to the
sale of Hopper Soliday in January 1999. Servicing income decreased $3.8 million
due to the absence of servicing income from the Corporation's securitized credit
card portfolio which was sold in the first quarter of 1998. Income from lease
residual gains increased $6.0 million when compared to 1998, due to some large
lease residual gains on railcars in 1999. Other income in 1999 included gains on
the sale of other real estate owned totaling $1.5 million and a $0.6 million
gain on the sale of a branch. Other income in 1998 included a $1.2 million gain
on the payoff of a troubled debt restructuring.

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

     The Corporation's noninterest expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 1999
were $148.8 million, a $2.8 million (1.9%) increase from noninterest expenses
for the quarter ended June 30, 1998. Intangible asset amortization expenses
decreased $1.0 million. Total operating expenses increased $3.8 million (2.9%).
The quarter ended June 30, 1999 included $10.0 million in expenses associated
with the Allfirst brand introduction. Salaries and other personnel costs
decreased $6.1 million (8.1%) primarily due a decline in employees resulting
from the sale of Hopper Soliday in the first quarter of 1999. External services
expense increased $1.1 million (15.7%) due to an increase in network service
fees which were the result of a higher volume of debit card and merchant
transactions in 1999. Equipment costs increased $3.2 million. Postage and
communications expenses decreased $1.3 million (21.1%) due to approximately $0.5
million in postage costs incurred in 1998 related to systems conversions and a
decrease in postage and communication expenses resulting from the sale of Hopper
Soliday in January 1999. Lending and collection expenses increased $3.2 million
primarily due to a $3.7 million increase in lending and collection expenses
associated with the Corporation's foreign maritime loan portfolio. Professional
service fees increased $1.4 million due an increase in contract programming
expenses in 1999. Professional fees in 1998 included $1.6 million in expenses
related to system conversions, while professional fees in 1999 included $1.5
million in professional fees associated with the introduction of the new
Allfirst brand in 1999. Advertising and marketing expenses increased $4.4
million (108.2%). Advertising expense increased $5.7 million due to the
implementation of the new Allfirst brand name in the second quarter of 1999.
Other expenses decreased $1.7 million. Office supplies and forms increased $1.2
million due to costs associated with form changes related to the Allfirst name
change. In addition, other expenses in the current quarter included a $1.9
million provision for losses on other maritime assets owned and approximately
$1.6 million in miscellaneous losses. These increases in other expenses were
offset by lower expenses in all other expense categories.

     The following table presents the components of noninterest expenses for the
six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998.

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

     The Corporation's noninterest expenses for the six months ended June 30,
1999 were $285.5 million, a $16.0 million (5.3%) decrease from noninterest
expenses for the six months ended June 30, 1998. Intangible asset amortization
expenses decreased $2.5 million. Total operating expenses decreased $13.6
million (5.0%). The six months ended June 30, 1999 included $10.0 million in
expenses associated with the Allfirst brand introduction. Salaries and other
personnel costs decreased $17.2 million (11.1%) primarily due a decline in
employees resulting from the sale of the credit card and residential mortgage
origination businesses in the first quarter of 1998 and the sale of Hopper
Soliday in the first quarter of 1999. Equipment costs increased $2.8 million.
Occupancy costs decreased $1.2 million due to cost savings associated with
exited businesses and branch relocation expenses in 1998. External services
expense increased $0.6 million (4.0%). External services expenses in 1998
included $1.4 million in expenses associated with discontinued business lines.
Excluding these expenses, external services expense increased $2.0 million due
to an increase in network service fees prompted by a higher volume of debit card
and merchant transactions in 1999. Postage and communications expenses decreased
$1.7 million (14.1%) due to approximately $0.5 million in postage costs incurred
in 1998 related to systems conversions and a decrease in postage and
communication expenses resulting from the sale of businesses in 1998 and the
first quarter of 1999. Lending and collection expenses increased $5.4 million
due primarily to a $6.7 million increase in lending and collection expenses
associated with the Corporation's foreign maritime loan portfolio. Professional
service fees decreased $0.7 million. Approximately $2.6 million in contract
programming expenses and professional fees were incurred in 1998 for systems
conversions and Year 2000 compliance. In 1999, approximately $1.5 million in
professional fees were incurred in conjunction with the change to the Allfirst
brand name in the second quarter of 1999. Advertising and marketing expenses
increased $2.1 million (24.3%). Advertising expenses increased $5.7 million due
to the implementation of the new Allfirst brand name in the second quarter of
1999. Excluding these expenses, advertising and marketing expenses decreased
$3.6 million, primarily due to marketing expenses associated with discontinued
businesses in 1998. Other expenses decreased $3.6 million. Office supplies and
forms increased $0.9 million due to costs associated with form changes related
to the Allfirst name change. In addition, other expenses for the six months
ended June 30, 1999 included a $1.9 million provision for losses on other
maritime assets owned and a $1.3 million increase in miscellaneous losses. These
increases in other expenses were offset by lower expenses in all other expense
categories.

YEAR 2000

     The Corporation has developed an inventory of over 800 products and
applications which may be affected by Year 2000 issues. This inventory covers
all aspects of the Corporation's business. These applications were assigned a
business priority and were organized into projects for replacement, upgrading,
renovation and certification testing. The Corporation's primary efforts have
been focused on inventoried items which have been identified as mission critical
and very important - those applications where any disruption causes critical
data to be unreliable, transactions to fail, legal requirements to be missed, or
any other potentially serious business issue. As of June 30, 1999, all of the
Corporation's mission critical and very important products have been certified
as Year 2000 compliant. In addition, all of the critical departments of the
Corporation have developed Year 2000 business resumption plans and these plans
have been tested. There has been no significant change in the cost of compliance
or the schedule for completion of Year 2000 testing in 1999.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

MARKET RISK MANAGEMENT

     Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in the fair
value of financial instruments due to changes in interest rates, exchange rates
and equity prices. The effective management of market risk is essential to
achieving the Corporation's objectives. As a financial institution, the
Corporation's primary market risk exposure is interest rate risk.

Interest Rate Risk Management

     Management of interest rate risk is effected through adjustments to the
size and duration of the available-for-sale investment portfolio, the duration
of purchased funds and other borrowings, and through the use of off-balance
sheet financial instruments such as interest rate swaps, interest rate caps and
floors, financial futures, and options. At June 30, 1999, the interest rate risk
position of the Corporation had not changed significantly from the risk position
at December 31, 1998 and the Corporation's equity at risk and earnings at risk
remained in compliance with the Corporation's policy limits.

Fixed Income, Derivative and Foreign Exchange Risk Management

     The Corporation maintains active securities and derivatives trading
positions as well as foreign exchange trading positions to service the needs of
its customers as well as for its own trading account. There has been no material
change in the market risk of these portfolios during the first six months of
1999.

                          Part II. - Other Information

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

     Various legal actions and proceedings are pending involving First Maryland
Bancorp or its subsidiaries. Management believes that the aggregate liability or
loss, if any, resulting from such legal actions and proceedings will not be
material to the Corporation's financial condition or results of operations.
Included among the outstanding litigation is a class action lawsuit instituted
by Dauphin Deposit Bank and Trust Company ("Dauphin Deposit ") in the Court of
Common Pleas of Cumberland County, Pennsylvania on February 25, 1994, seeking a
declaratory judgment from the Court specifically permitting Dauphin Deposit to
discontinue an 18 month variable interest rate deposit product carrying a
minimum interest rate of 10% for the 18 month term, which is held in certain
individual retirement accounts ("IRAs"). The aggregate balance of the IRAs was
approximately $215 million at June 30, 1999. Dauphin Deposit's right to
terminate the variable interest rate deposit product is in dispute and is being
challenged by the holders of the IRAs in question. Several days after the
commencement of trial in April 1996, Dauphin Deposit and representatives of the
class reached an agreement in principle to settle the litigation and the trial
was continued pending negotiation of a settlement agreement. Dauphin Deposit and
representatives of the class filed a settlement agreement with the Court on May
13, 1996 which would permit Dauphin Deposit to terminate the 18 month variable
rate product as to all class members on the effective date of the settlement
and, in consideration, the balances of those accounts would be automatically
deposited in one of three new certificates of deposit established by Dauphin
Deposit for purposes of the settlement. All class members were given the
opportunity to file objections to the proposed settlement or elect to be
excluded from the class and the proposed settlement. Approximately 89 of the
4,315 class members filed formal objections to the settlement with the Court and
12 of the class members elected to opt out of the settlement. A hearing was held
before the Court on June 21, 1996 for the purpose of obtaining the Court's
approval of the settlement agreement. At the hearing, counsel for Dauphin
Deposit and counsel for the representatives of all class members jointly moved
for the Court's adoption of the settlement agreement and made argument in favor
thereof. The Court, by Order issued July 11, 1996, denied the joint motion of
Dauphin Deposit and the representatives of the class for settlement of the class
action in accordance with the terms and conditions of the settlement agreement.
Dauphin Deposit filed its Notice of Appeal from the trial Court's Order denying
the settlement to the Superior Court of Pennsylvania on August 9, 1996. On
July 10, 1997, the Superior Court reversed the trial Court's disapproval of the

                                       28
<PAGE>

settlement agreement and directed the trial Court to approve the settlement. On
July 23, 1997, the class filed an Application for Reargument with the Superior
Court which was denied on September 22, 1997. On October 20, 1997, the class
filed a Petition for Allowance of Appeal with the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania
(the "Petition") which was granted on March 31, 1998. The Supreme Court heard
oral argument on November 16, 1998. On March 26, 1999, the Supreme Court
affirmed the decision of the Superior Court. The class filed an application for
reargument with the Supreme Court on April 9, 1999 which was denied by the
Supreme Court on May 13, 1999. On June 18, 1999, the court issued an order
approving the settlement and Dauphin Deposit (now Allfirst Bank) is working on
resolving implementation issues. Neither management nor counsel can predict
when settlement will be implemented with any reasonable degree of certainty.
Allfirst Bank has continued to date to pay a 10% interest rate with regard to
the 18 month variable interest rate deposit product.
