COMPETITION

Competitors of the Company include other commercial banks, savings and loan
associations, consumer and commercial finance companies, credit unions and other
financial services companies.  The Company's credit card operation competes with
other issuers of credit cards ranging from other national issuers of bank cards
to local retailers which provide their own charge account services.  The Company
believes that the level of competition will increase in the future as the
industry continues to consolidate and as nonbanking companies continue to offer
products traditionally offered by banks.

EMPLOYEES

The Company had 3,831 full-time-equivalent employees as of December 31, 1995.

REGULATION

The Company is governed by various regulatory agencies. Bank holding companies
and their nonbanking subsidiaries are regulated by the Federal Reserve Board.
National banks are primarily regulated by the Office of the Comptroller of the
Currency (OCC). All federally-insured banks are also regulated by the FDIC. The
Parent Company's banking subsidiaries include seven national banks and two 
state-chartered banks, all of which are insured by the FDIC. The state-chartered
banks are also regulated by the state banking authorities.

The Company and each of the banking subsidiaries are required to maintain
minimum capital in accordance with federal guidelines. Generally, these
guidelines are: 1) 3% to 5% for Tier I capital to total assets (as defined); 2)
4% for Tier I capital to risk-adjusted assets; and 3) 8% for Total capital (as
defined) to risk-adjusted assets. The stated capital of the Company and each of
the banking subsidiaries is subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators
about components, risk weightings, and other factors. The Company and each of
the banking subsidiaries exceeded these minimum regulatory capital requirements
at December 31, 1995.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 ("FDICIA")
imposed a significant amount of new regulation on the banking industry. A
substantial part of FDICIA's regulatory restrictions is focused on the capital
level of financial institutions and the relative risk of their assets and
liabilities. Most of the regulatory mandates of FDICIA now have been implemented
by the federal banking agencies through final regulations. These include
regulations relating to corrective regulatory action, standards of safety and
soundness and various deposit insurance reforms.

Under federal banking laws and regulations, the Parent Company's banking
subsidiaries are reviewed pursuant to a supervisory framework for prompt
corrective action. This framework consists of five categories that are defined
by different levels of capital. For the top-rated well-capitalized category, an
institution must meet capital ratios of 5.0% for Tier I capital to total assets
(as defined); 6.0% for Tier I capital to risk-adjusted assets; and 10.0% for
Total capital to risk-adjusted assets. At December 31, 1995, all of the Parent
Company's banking subsidiaries exceeded these minimum capital ratio requirements
for the top-rated well-capitalized category established by the supervisory
agencies.

At periodic intervals, the banking regulators routinely examine the financial
statements of the Parent Company and its subsidiaries as part of their legally
prescribed oversight of the banking industry. Based on these examinations, the
regulators can direct the financial statements to be adjusted in accordance with
their findings. The regulators have not proposed material adjustments to the
financial statements this year nor in prior years.

It is the Company's policy for a committee of senior loan officers to review
all loans in excess of 90 days past due for placement on non-accrual status. If
there is sufficient evidence to indicate that the borrower may be unable to meet
the obligation, the loan is placed on non-accrual status. Loans may be placed on
non-accrual status prior to reaching 90 days past due if circumstances warrant.

(1) Certain reclassifications were made to prior years Schedule IV Summary of 
Loan Loss Experience Loan Loss Allowance numbers to conform them to the revised 
allocation method used in 1995, 1994 and 1993. These reclassifications more 
accurately depict the Company's procedure in determining required reserves for 
loan loss for each loan category and had no effect on net income or the total 
loan loss allowance.

Provision for loan losses:

The loan loss provision charged to operations is based on certain factors which,
in management's judgment, deserve current recognition in estimating possible 
loan losses. Some of these factors are: the amount of the valuation reserve in 
relation to the total dollar value of loans outstanding; the relation to any 
loans known to be doubtful as to collection; the ratio of average net 
charge-offs to average loans outstanding for the most recent years; and the loan
loss experience of comparable banks in the surrounding geographical area.
