                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1: LOANS
     The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) has issued Standard No.
114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan," which requires that all
creditors value all specifically reviewed loans for which it is probable that
the creditor will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the terms of
the loan agreement at the present value of expected cash flows, market price of
the loan, if available, or value of the underlying collateral. Expected cash
flows are required to be discounted at the loan's effective interest rate. This
Standard is required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1994.
     The FASB also has issued Standard No. 118, "Accounting by Creditors for
Impairment of a Loan -- Income Recognition and Disclosures," that amends FASB
Standard No. 114 to allow a creditor to use existing methods for recognizing
interest income on an impaired loan and by requiring additional disclosures
about how a creditor recognizes interest income related to impaired loans. This
Standard is to be implemented concurrently with Standard No. 114.
     On January 1, 1995, the provisions of Standards No. 114 and 118 were
adopted. The adoption of the Standards required no increase to the allowance for
loan losses and had no impact on net income in the first nine months of 1995.
The impact to historical and current amounts related to in-substance
foreclosures was not material, and accordingly, historical amounts have not been
restated.
     When the ultimate collectibility of an impaired loan's principal is in
doubt, wholly or partially, all cash receipts are applied to principal. When
this doubt does not exist, cash receipts are applied under the contractual terms
of the loan agreement first to principal and then to interest income. Once the
recorded principal balance has been reduced to zero, future cash receipts are
applied to interest income, to the extent that any interest has been foregone.
Further cash receipts are recorded as recoveries of any amounts previously
charged off.
     A loan is also considered impaired if its terms are modified in a troubled
debt restructuring after January 1, 1995. For these accruing impaired loans,
cash receipts are typically applied to principal and interest receivable in
accordance with the terms of the restructured loan agreement. Interest income is
recognized on these loans using the accrual method of accounting. As of
September 30, 1995, there were no accruing impaired loans.
     At September 30, 1995, impaired loans amounted to $302 million. Included in
the allowance for loan losses is $33 million related to $234 million of impaired
loans. The remainder of the impaired loans are recorded at or below fair value.
     In the first nine months of 1995, the average recorded investment in
impaired loans was $316 million and $11 million of interest income was
recognized on loans while they were impaired. All of this income was recognized
using a cash-basis method of accounting.
NOTE 2: OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK AND CARRYING AMOUNTS AND FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL
INSTRUMENTS
     Information related to off-balance sheet risk as of September 30, 1995, is
included in Tables 19 through 21 of the Financial Supplement on pages T-16
through T-18.
     At September 30, 1995, the net fair value of the Corporation's recorded net
financial assets subject to valuation in accordance with Financial Accounting
Standard No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,"
increased 22 percent from year-end 1994 as a result of an increase in the net
financial assets subject to such valuation and increased less than one percent
as a result of changes in interest rates from year-end 1994.
     Information related to off-balance sheet risk and the impact of changes in
interest rates should be read in conjunction with the "Interest Rate Risk
Management" section of the Financial Supplement.

                       MANAGEMENT'S ANALYSIS OF OPERATIONS

EARNINGS HIGHLIGHTS
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------


First Union's earnings applicable to common stockholders increased to $734
million, or $4.27 per common share, in the first nine months of 1995, compared
with $675 million, or $3.94, in the first nine months of 1994.

Third quarter 1995 net income applicable to common stockholders increased to
$255 million, or $1.50 per common share, compared with $235 million, or $1.35,
in the third quarter a year ago.

Key factors during the first nine months of 1995 included:

(Bullet)  7 percent growth in tax-equivalent net interest income, to $2.5 
          billion in the first nine months ended September 30, 1995, compared 
          with $2.3 billion in the nine months ended September 30, 1994;
(Bullet)  14 percent loan growth since year-end 1994;
(Bullet)  A decline in nonperforming assets as a percentage of net loans and 
          foreclosed properties to .91 percent; and
(Bullet)  17 percent growth in noninterest income to $1.0 billion in the first 
          nine months ended September 30, 1995, compared with $857 million in 
          the nine months ended September 30, 1994.

Net loans at September 30, 1995, were $61.8 billion, an increase of $7.8 billion
since year-end 1994, including $4.8 billion from purchase acquisitions that
closed during the first nine months of 1995. The net loan balance at September
30, 1995, was reduced by the September 29, 1995, securitization and sale of
$2.0 billion in credit card receivables. Loan growth was strong in the consumer
portfolio, which was led by direct consumer lending through First Union's retail
branch system and home equity lending. Residential mortgages also increased
through our purchase accounting acquisitions.

Nonperforming assets were $562 million at September 30, 1995, compared with $569
million at June 30, 1995, and $654 million at September 30, 1994. They were .91
percent of net loans and foreclosed properties at September 30, 1995, the lowest
percentage in nine years. Annualized net charge-offs in the nine months of 1995
were .36 percent of average net loans, compared with .31 percent in the first
nine months of 1994. Annualized net charge-offs have increased as our credit
card portfolios have matured.

Growth in noninterest income in the first nine months of 1995 compared with the
same period in 1994 was realized primarily in fee income from capital markets
activity, including loan syndications and asset securitizations; capital
management income, including mutual funds, trust and brokerage services;
mortgage banking; and service charges on deposits, including increased service
charges resulting from purchase acquisitions.

Domestic banking operations, including trust operations, located in North and
South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Maryland, Tennessee, Virginia and Washington,
D.C., and mortgage banking operations are our principal sources of revenues.
Foreign banking operations are immaterial.

The Net Interest Income section provides information about lost interest income
related to nonaccrual and restructured loans and the Asset Quality section
includes information about the loan loss provision.

Outlook
The strong fee income results in the first nine months of 1995 help validate our
expectations for renewed earnings momentum at First Fidelity Bancorporation
after we combine our two companies. We are seeing the results of our investments
in capital markets, capital management and other businesses that expand our
traditional banking base, and we are optimistic about our future results for
these businesses.

First Union announced on June 19, 1995, the signing of an agreement to acquire
First Fidelity Bancorporation, a $35 billion asset banking company based in
Newark, N.J., and Philadelphia, Pa. This transaction is estimated to be
initially dilutive, but to be accretive to earnings in 1997 and beyond.

First Union and First Fidelity are well along in the planning processes for the
merger of the two companies. Stockholders of both First Union and First Fidelity
overwhelmingly approved the merger on October 3, 1995, and the Federal Reserve
Board approval was received on October 26, 1995.

The First Fidelity merger agreement provides, among other things, for (i) the
merger of First Fidelity with and into a wholly owned subsidiary of First Union,
(ii) the exchange of each outstanding share of First Fidelity common stock for
1.35 shares of First Union common stock, and (iii) the exchange of each share of
the three outstanding series of First Fidelity preferred stock for one share of
one of three corresponding new series of First Union's class A preferred stock
having substantially identical terms as the relevant series of First Fidelity
preferred stock, all subject to the terms and conditions contained in the First
Fidelity merger agreement.

In connection with the execution of the First Fidelity merger agreement, First
Fidelity granted an option to First Union to purchase, under certain
circumstances, up to 19.9 percent of the outstanding shares of First Fidelity
common stock at a per share exercise price equal to $59.00, and First Union
granted an option to First Fidelity to purchase, under certain circumstances, up
to 19.9 percent of the outstanding shares of First Union common stock at a per
share exercise price equal to $45.875.

Also in connection with the execution of the First Fidelity merger agreement,
Banco Santander, S.A., the owner of approximately 30 percent of the outstanding
shares of First Fidelity common stock, agreed, among other things, to vote the
First Fidelity shares held by it in favor of the First Fidelity merger
agreement. Following consummation of the First Fidelity merger, Banco Santander
is expected to own approximately 11 percent of the outstanding shares of First
Union common stock.

The First Fidelity merger will be accounted for as a pooling of interests.
Consummation is expected by January 1, 1996, subject to certain conditions of
closing.

Based on the $47.625 closing price of First Union common stock on the New York
Stock Exchange on June 16, 1995 (the last business before public announcement of
the merger), the transaction value would be approximately $5.4 billion and would
represent a purchase price of $64.29 for each share of First Fidelity common
stock.

Before consummation of the First Fidelity merger, First Fidelity and First Union
may purchase up to 5.5 million shares of First Fidelity common stock or 7.4
million shares of

                                                3

<PAGE>



First Union common stock, or some combination of the two. Approximately 105
million shares of First Union common stock are expected to be issued in the
First Fidelity merger (including outstanding First Fidelity employee stock
options and convertible preferred stock, and net of the expected purchase of
First Fidelity and First Union common stock referred to above). The
Stockholders' Equity section includes further information about the purchase of
First Union common stock. In addition, it is currently expected that after-tax
restructuring charges of $270 million will be taken in the appropriate period
based on the consummation date of the First Fidelity merger.

Following consummation of the First Fidelity merger, the current chairman and
chief executive officer of First Fidelity, Anthony P. Terracciano, will join
Edward E. Crutchfield and John R. Georgius in an "Office of the Chairman" of
First Union. Mr. Crutchfield will continue to serve as chairman and chief
executive officer, Mr. Georgius will serve as vice chairman and Mr. Terracciano
will serve as president of First Union. Additionally, six First Fidelity
directors, including Mr. Terracciano and a representative of Banco Santander,
will join the First Union Corporation Board of Directors.

Additional historical, pro forma and other information relating to the First
Fidelity merger is available in First Union's Form 8-K documents dated June 19,
1995, June 20, 1995, June 21, 1995, June 30, 1995, and August 30, 1995, which
have been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

During the first nine months of 1995, we completed the purchase accounting
acquisitions of First Florida Savings Bank, FSB; Florida-based Coral Gables
Fedcorp, Inc., parent of Coral Gables Federal Savings & Loan Association;
Ameribanc Investors Group, parent of Ameribanc Savings Bank, FSB, in Virginia;
American Savings of Florida, FSB, and Home Federal Savings Bank of Rome, Ga.,
which had combined assets of $6.7 billion, net loans of $4.8 billion and
deposits of $5.3 billion.

We have since completed the purchase accounting acquisitions of United Financial
Corporation of South Carolina, Inc. on October 5, 1995, and of Virginia-based
Columbia First Bank, FSB, on November 3, 1995. We expect to complete the
purchase accounting acquisitions of RS Financial Corp., parent company of
Raleigh Federal Savings Bank, and Brentwood National Bank, based in the
Nashville suburb of Brentwood, Tenn., during the first quarter of 1996. At
September 30, 1995, these four completed or pending acquisitions had combined
assets, net loans and deposits of $4.3 billion, $3.4 billion and $2.7 billion,
respectively.

We continue to be alert to opportunities to enhance stockholder value through
acquisitions. We are continually evaluating acquisition opportunities, and teams
of experienced bankers from all areas of the corporation frequently conduct due
diligence activities in connection with possible acquisitions.

As a result, acquisition discussions and in some cases negotiations frequently
take place, and future acquisitions involving cash, debt or equity securities
may be expected. Acquisitions typically involve the payment of a premium over
book and market values. Some dilution of First Union's book value and temporary
dilution of net income per common share may occur in connection with some future
acquisitions.

The Accounting and Regulatory Matters section provides information about various
other legislative, accounting and regulatory matters that have recently been
adopted or proposed.

Net Interest Income
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tax-equivalent net interest income increased 7 percent compared with the first
nine months of 1994, to $2.5 billion in the first nine months of 1995.
Tax-equivalent net interest income increased 8 percent from the third quarter of
1994 and 3 percent from the second quarter of 1995, to $860 million in the third
quarter of 1995. The increase in the first nine months of 1995 reflected strong
loan growth, the repricing of variable rate assets and reduced premium
amortization for the purchase of options contracts to hedge against rising
interest rates, in addition to the purchase acquisitions.

Nonperforming loans reduce interest income because the contribution from these
loans is eliminated or sharply reduced. In the first nine months of 1995, $43
million in gross interest income would have been recorded if all nonaccrual and
restructured loans had been current in accordance with their original terms and
had been outstanding throughout the period, or since origination if held for
part of the period. The amount of interest income related to these assets and
included in income in the first nine months of 1995 was $11 million.

Net Interest Margin
The net interest margin, which is the difference between the tax-equivalent
yield on earning assets and the rate paid on funds to support those assets, was
4.52 percent in the first nine months of 1995, compared with 4.80 percent in the
same period a year ago. The margin was 4.37 percent in the third quarter of
1995, compared with 4.62 percent in the second quarter of 1995 and 4.84 percent
in the third quarter of 1994.

The margin decline during the first nine months of 1995 was primarily related to
the addition of acquired banks and thrifts with lower margins; the addition of
short-term securities; and the competitiveness of loan pricing. We also
anticipate a further contraction in the margin in future quarters as a result of
the credit card securitization, the impact of acquisitions and the generation of
lower-spread assets related to capital markets activities. We expect the margin
to benefit from the repricing of adjustable rate mortgages and run-off in
off-balance sheet positions that have had a negative impact on the margin. It
should be noted that the margin is not our primary management focus or goal. Our
goal is to continue increasing net interest income, which has increased for 24
consecutive quarters.

The average rate earned on earning assets was 8.58 percent in the first nine
months of 1995, compared with 7.80 percent in the first nine months of 1994. The
average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities was 4.67 percent in the first
nine months of 1995 and 3.53 percent in the first nine months of 1994.

We use securities and off-balance sheet transactions to manage interest rate
sensitivity. More information on these transactions is included in the Interest
Rate Risk Management section.

Noninterest Income
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Noninterest income grew 17 percent during the first nine months of 1995 compared
with the same period of 1994, in virtually all categories. Fee income from
capital markets activities, including loan syndications and asset
securitizations, increased. Additionally, capital management income, including
mutual funds, personal and corporate trust and brokerage services, increased 27
percent. The First Union-advised Evergreen Funds have grown to more than $10
billion in assets under management. Service charges on deposits grew 7 percent.
Mortgage banking income increased largely as a result of the purchase
acquisitions, increased originations and servicing.

                                                5

Trading Activities
Trading activities are undertaken to satisfy customers' risk management and
investment needs and for the corporation's own account. All trading activities
are conducted within risk limits established by the corporation's Funds
Management Committee, and all trading positions are marked to market daily.

Trading activities include fixed income securities, money market instruments,
foreign exchange, options, futures, forward rate agreements and swaps. With the
Federal Reserve's approval of expanded powers for First Union Capital Markets
Corp., our activities also include the trading and underwriting of corporate
debt securities.

At September 30, 1995, trading account assets were $1.3 billion, compared with
$1.2 billion at year-end 1994.

Noninterest Expense
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Noninterest expense increased in the first nine months of 1995 compared with the
first nine months of 1994, largely reflecting growth in personnel, advertising
and other expenses related to card products, capital management, capital markets
and other initiatives undertaken to improve prospects for revenue growth, as
well as expenses related to acquisitions. Increases in other intangible assets
from $1.1 billion at September 30, 1994, to $1.5 billion at September 30, 1995,
and the related increase in amortization expense, also contributed to the
increase in noninterest expense. A reduction in the FDIC insurance premium was
largely offset by discretionary investments in areas such as the company's
retail delivery system. Costs related to environmental matters were not
material.

More information on the reduced FDIC insurance premium is included in the
Accounting and Regulatory Matters section.

Securities Available For Sale
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Securities available for sale are used as a part of the corporation's interest
rate risk management strategy and may be sold in response to changes in interest
rates, changes in prepayment risk, liquidity needs, the need to increase
regulatory capital ratios and other factors. During the first half of 1995, we
allowed some securities to mature without reinvestment in order to fund loan
growth and to avoid additional exposure to interest rate movements. In the
succeeding three months, we took advantage of market conditions to add $4.5
billion of securities to the available for sale portfolio, which will enhance
earnings and reduce the exposure to falling interest rates indicated by our
forecast for 1996. We purchased $1.2 billion of these securities for settlement
during the fourth quarter of 1995.

At September 30, 1995, we had securities available for sale with a market value
of $9.3 billion, compared with a market value of $7.8 billion at year-end 1994.
The market value of securities available for sale was $7 million above amortized
cost at the end of the third quarter of 1995. Despite the unrealized gain, an
$11 million after-tax unrealized loss was recorded as a reduction of
stockholders' equity at September 30, 1995, as a result of a transfer loss
recorded when securities were moved to investment securities in 1994. Table 7
provides information related to unrealized gains and losses and to realized
gains and losses on these securities.

The average rate earned on securities available for sale in the first nine
months of 1995 was 6.40 percent, compared with 5.40 percent in the first nine
months of 1994. The average maturity of the portfolio was 3.28 years at
September 30, 1995.

                                                6

Investment Securities
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

First Union's investment securities amounted to $3.6 billion at September 30,
1995, compared with $3.7 billion at year-end 1994. As part of our strategy to
reduce exposure to falling interest rates, we also added $1.2 billion to the
investment securities portfolio during the third quarter of 1995, $947 million
of which was purchased for settlement in December 1995.

The average rate earned on investment securities in the first nine months of
1995 was 8.75 percent, compared with 9.07 percent in the first nine months of
1994. The average maturity of the portfolio was 4.84 years at September 30,
1995.

Table 8 provides information related to unrealized gains and losses and to
realized gains and losses on these securities.

Loans
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our lending strategy stresses quality growth, diversified by product, geography
and industry. A common credit underwriting structure is in place throughout the
company, and a special real estate credit group reviews large commercial real
estate loans before approval. Consistent with our long-time standard, we
generally look for two repayment sources for commercial real estate loans: cash
flows from the project and other resources of the borrower.

Our commercial lenders focus principally on middle-market companies. A majority
of our commercial loans are for less than $10 million.

Our consumer lenders emphasize credit judgments that focus on a customer's debt
obligations, ability and willingness to repay, and general economic trends.

Net loans at September 30, 1995, were $61.8 billion, compared with $54.0 billion
at year-end 1994. Of this increase, $4.8 billion was related to the purchase
acquisitions that closed in the first nine months of 1995, with the rest coming
from strong loan growth in all of our banking states and in virtually all loan
categories. Consumer loan growth led the increase, primarily in direct lending
and in second mortgages. Net loans were decreased at period-end by a $2.0
billion securitization of credit card receivables on September 29, 1995.

The loan portfolio at September 30, 1995, was composed of 46 percent in
commercial loans and 54 percent in consumer loans. The portfolio mix did not
change significantly from year-end 1994.

At September 30, 1995, unused loan commitments related to commercial and
consumer loans were $17.3 billion and $12.3 billion, respectively. Commercial 
and standby letters of credit were $2.4 billion.

At September 30, 1995, loan participations sold to other lenders amounted to
$1.0 billion and were recorded as a reduction of gross loans.

The average rate earned on loans in the first nine months of 1995 was 9.05
percent, compared with 8.48 percent in the first nine months of 1994. The
average prime rate in the first nine months of 1995 was 8.86 percent, compared
with 6.81 percent in the first nine months of 1994. Factors affecting rates
between the first nine months of 1994 and the first nine months of 1995 included
rapid increases in the prime rate throughout 1994; an increased portion of the
loan portfolio tied to rate indices other than the prime rate; a larger
portfolio of fixed and adjustable rate mortgages; and a

                                                7

<PAGE>



rapidly growing credit card portfolio, which reflected recent solicitations with
introductory rates that will reprice throughout 1995.

The Asset Quality section provides information about geographic exposure in the
loan portfolio.

Commercial Real Estate Loans
Commercial real estate loans amounted to 13 percent of the total portfolio at
September 30, 1995, and at December 31, 1994. This portfolio included commercial
real estate mortgage loans of $5.8 billion at September 30, 1995, and $5.4
billion at December 31, 1994.

ASSET QUALITY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Nonperforming Assets
At September 30, 1995, nonperforming assets were $562 million, or .91 percent of
net loans and foreclosed properties, compared with $569 million, or .95 percent,
at June 30, 1995, and $558 million, or 1.03 percent, at December 31, 1994.

Segregated assets, which are not included in nonperforming assets and which
relate to the acquisition of Southeast Banks in 1991, were $176 million at
September 30, 1995, or $157 million net of a $19 million allowance for losses on
segregated assets. This compared with $187 million, or $165 million net of a $22
million allowance, at December 31, 1994. Under a loss-sharing arrangement, the
FDIC reimburses First Union for 85 percent of any losses associated with the
acquired Southeast Banks commercial and consumer loan portfolio, except
revolving consumer credit, for which reimbursement declines five percent per
year to 65 percent by 1996. Segregated assets are included in other assets.

Loans or properties of less than $5 million each made up 81 percent, or $456
million, of nonperforming assets at September 30, 1995. Of the rest:

(Bullet)  Five loans or properties between $5 million and $10 million each 
          accounted for $35 million; and
(Bullet) Three loans or properties over $10 million each accounted for $71
          million.

Sixty-three percent of nonperforming assets were collateralized by real estate
at September 30, 1995, compared with 72 percent at year-end 1994.

 Past Due Loans
In addition to these nonperforming assets, at September 30, 1995, accruing loans
90 days past due were $118 million, compared with $118 million at June 30, 1995,
and $140 million at December 31, 1994. Of these, $13 million were related to
commercial and commercial real estate loans, compared with $27 million at
December 31, 1994.

Net Charge-offs
Annualized net charge-offs as a percentage of average net loans were .36 percent
in the first nine months of 1995, compared with .31 percent in the first nine
months of 1994. Annualized net charge-offs were .32 percent in the third quarter
of 1995, .44 percent in the second quarter of 1995 and .38 percent in the third
quarter of 1994. As our credit card portfolios have matured, annualized net
charge-offs have increased. In the fourth quarter of 1995, we expect an
increase in the dollar level of charge-offs.

                                                8

Table 10 provides information on net charge-offs by category.

Provision And Allowance For Loan Losses
The loan loss provision was $126 million in the first nine months of 1995,
compared with $75 million in the first nine months of 1994. The provision was
$49 million in the third quarter of 1995, compared with $25 million in the third
quarter of 1994. The increase in the loan loss provision was based primarily on
current economic conditions, on the maturity and level of nonperforming assets,
and on projected levels of charge-offs, particularly in relation to the credit
card portfolio.

We establish reserves based upon various other factors, including the results of
quantitative analyses of the quality of commercial loans and commercial real
estate loans. Reserves for commercial and commercial real estate loans are based
principally on loan grades, historical loss rates, borrowers' creditworthiness,
underlying cash flows from the project and from borrowers, and analysis of other
less quantifiable factors that might influence the portfolio. Reserves for
consumer loans are based principally on delinquencies and historical loss rates.
We analyze all loans in excess of $1 million that are being monitored as
potential credit problems to determine whether supplemental, specific reserves
are necessary.

Since December 31, 1994, the loan loss allowance in dollar amount and as a
percentage of net loans, nonaccrual and restructured loans, and nonperforming
assets has declined, as indicated in Table 10.

At September 30, 1995, impaired loans, which are included in nonaccrual loans,
amounted to $302 million, compared with $342 million at June 30, 1995. Included
in the allowance for loan losses is $33 million related to $234 million of
impaired loans at September 30, 1995. The rest of the impaired loans are
recorded at or below fair value. The Accounting and Regulatory Matters section
provides further information about impaired loans.

Geographic Exposure
The loan portfolio in the South Atlantic region of the United States is spread
primarily across 61 metropolitan statistical areas with diverse economies.
Washington, D.C.; Charlotte, North Carolina; Atlanta, Georgia; and Miami,
Jacksonville, West Palm Beach and Tampa, Florida, are our largest markets, but
no individual metropolitan market contains more than 8 percent of the commercial
loan portfolio.

Substantially all of the $8.0 billion commercial real estate portfolio at
September 30, 1995, was located in our banking region.

LIQUIDITY AND FUNDING SOURCES
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------


Liquidity planning and management are necessary to ensure we maintain the
ability to fund operations cost-effectively and to meet current and future
obligations. In this process, we focus on both assets and liabilities and the
manner in which they combine to provide adequate liquidity to meet the
corporation's needs.

Funding sources primarily include customer-based core deposits but also include
purchased funds and cash flows from operations. First Union is one of the
nation's largest core deposit-funded banking institutions. Our large consumer
deposit base, which is spread across the economically strong South Atlantic
region, creates

                                                9

<PAGE>



considerable funding diversity and stability. Further, our acquisitions of bank
and thrift deposits have enhanced liquidity.

Asset liquidity is maintained through maturity management and our ability to
liquidate assets, primarily assets held for sale. Another significant source of
asset liquidity is the potential to securitize assets such as credit card
receivables and auto, home equity and mortgage loans. The securitization and
sale of $2.0 billion in credit card receivables at the end of the third quarter
of 1995 had a significant positive effect on our liquidity position. Other
off-balance sheet sources of liquidity exist as well, such as a mortgage
servicing portfolio for which the estimated fair value exceeded book value by
$203 million at September 30, 1995.

Cash Flows
Net cash provided from operations primarily results from net income adjusted for
the following noncash accounting items: the provisions for loan losses and
foreclosed properties; and depreciation and amortization. These items amounted
to $425 million in the first nine months of 1995, compared with $312 million in
the first nine months of 1994. This cash was available during the first nine
months of 1995 to increase earning assets and to reduce borrowings by $173
million, and to pay dividends of $252 million.

Core Deposits
Core deposits were $56.5 billion at September 30, 1995, compared with $53.2
billion at December 31, 1994. Core deposits include savings, negotiable order of
withdrawal (NOW), money market and noninterest-bearing accounts, and other
consumer time deposits.

In the first nine months of 1995 and 1994, average noninterest-bearing deposits
were 19 percent and 20 percent, respectively, of average core deposits. The Net
Interest Income Summaries provide additional information about average core
deposits.

The portion of core deposits in higher-rate, other consumer time deposits was 39
percent at September 30, 1995, and 35 percent at year-end 1994. Other consumer
time and other noncore deposits usually pay higher rates than savings and
transaction accounts, but they generally are not available for immediate
withdrawal and are less expensive to process.

Average core deposit balances in the first nine months of 1995 increased $4.1
billion from the first nine months of 1994. Average balances in savings and NOW,
other consumer time deposits and noninterest-bearing deposits were higher when
compared with the previous year, while money market deposits were lower.
Deposits were primarily affected by the purchase acquisitions and can also be
affected by branch closings or consolidations, seasonal factors and the rates
being offered for deposits compared to other investment opportunities.

Purchased Funds
Purchased funds at September 30, 1995, were $14.9 billion, compared with $13.3
billion at year-end 1994. Purchased funds are acquired primarily through (I) our
large branch network, consisting principally of $100,000 and over certificates
of deposit, public funds and treasury deposits, and (ii) national market
sources, consisting of relatively short-term funding sources such as federal
funds, securities sold under repurchase agreements, eurodollar time deposits,
short-term bank notes and commercial paper, and longer-term funding sources such
as term bank notes, Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings and corporate notes.
During the third quarter of 1995, we

                                               10

<PAGE>



began utilizing a $10 billion shelf as part of our ongoing bank note program,
which we may continue to use for future funding needs.

Average purchased funds in the first nine months of 1995 were $16.0 billion, an
increase of 32 percent from $12.2 billion in the first nine months of 1994. The
increase was used primarily to fund loan growth.

Long-Term Debt
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Long-term debt was 106 percent of total stockholders' equity at September 30,
1995, compared with 64 percent at December 31, 1994.

The increase in long-term debt since year-end 1994 was primarily related to the
issuance of $1.3 billion of bank notes with varying rates and terms that mature
by 1997. Additionally, in the first nine months of 1995, we issued $250 million
of 10-year, 67/8 percent subordinated notes; $250 million of 10-year, 7.05 
percent subordinated notes and $300 million of three-year floating rate notes, 
both of which are not redeemable prior to maturity, and $250 million of 40-year,
7 1/2 percent subordinated debentures, which can be redeemed in whole or in part
at the option of the holders in 2005. On October 18, 1995, we issued $250 
million of 40-year, 6.55 percent subordinated debentures, which can be redeemed
in whole or in part at the option of the holders in 2005. Proceeds from these 
debt issues have been used for general corporate purposes.

Under a shelf registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, we currently have available for issuance $1.5 billion of senior or
subordinated debt securities. The sale of any additional debt securities will
depend on future market conditions, funding needs and other factors.

Debt Obligations
We have a $350 million, committed back-up line of credit that expires in
December 1998. This credit facility contains financial covenants that require
First Union to maintain a minimum level of tangible net worth, restrict double
leverage ratios and require capital levels at subsidiary banks to meet
regulatory standards. First Union is currently in compliance with these
requirements and has not used this line of credit.

During the fourth quarter of 1995, $8 million of long-term debt will mature.
Maturing in 1996 is $1.7 billion, which includes bank notes of $1.1 billion.

Stockholders' Equity
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At September 30, 1995, common stockholders' equity was $5.69 billion, compared
with $5.40 billion at December 31, 1994. Since year-end 1994, we have paid $743
million for the repurchase of 15.9 million shares of First Union common stock
related to the acquisitions of American Savings, United Financial and Columbia
First, and the pending acquisitions of RS Financial, Brentwood and First
Fidelity. These shares have been retired. We also have purchased 2.9 million
shares of First Fidelity common stock for $181 million and 250,000 shares of
First Fidelity convertible preferred stock for $12 million in connection with
the pending First Fidelity acquisition. In April 1995, the board of directors
renewed its authorization for the purchase from time to time of up to 15 million
shares of First Union common stock. As of September 30, 1995, 5.1 million shares
remained available for purchase pursuant to such authorization, in addition to
the remainder of up to 7.4 million shares in connection with the First Fidelity
acquisition, or up to 5.5 million shares of First Fidelity common stock, or some
combination thereof.


                                               11

<PAGE>



We paid $252 million in dividends to preferred and common stockholders in the
first nine months of 1995. At September 30, 1995, stockholders' equity reflected
an $11 million unrealized after-tax loss related to debt and equity securities.
The Securities Available for Sale section provides additional information about
debt and equity securities.

Subsidiary Dividends
Our banking subsidiaries are the largest source of parent company dividends.
Capital requirements established by regulators limit dividends that these and
certain other of our subsidiaries can pay. The Office of the Comptroller of the
Currency (OCC) generally limits a national bank's dividends in two principal
ways: first, dividends cannot exceed the bank's undivided profits, less
statutory bad debt in excess of a bank's allowance for loan losses; and second,
in any year dividends may not exceed a bank's net profits for that year, plus
its retained earnings from the preceding two years, less any required transfers
to surplus.

Under these and other limitations, our subsidiaries had $483 million available
for dividends at September 30, 1995. Our subsidiaries paid $439 million in
dividends to the corporation in the first nine months of 1995.

Risk-Based Capital
The minimum requirement for the ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets
(including certain off-balance-sheet financial instruments, such as standby
letters of credit and interest rate swaps) is currently 8 percent. At least half
of the total capital is to be composed of common equity, retained earnings and a
limited amount of qualifying preferred stock, less certain intangible assets
(tier 1 capital). The rest may consist of a limited amount of subordinated debt,
nonqualifying preferred stock and a limited amount of the loan loss allowance
(together with tier 1 capital, total capital).

At September 30, 1995, the corporation's tier 1 and total capital ratios were
6.35 percent and 10.74 percent, respectively, compared with 8.84 percent and
14.20 percent at September 30, 1994. These ratios have declined primarily as a
result of the common stock repurchase program, the preferred stock redemption,
and the increase in total assets and intangible assets.

In addition, the Federal Reserve Board has established minimum leverage ratio
requirements for bank holding companies. These requirements provide for a
minimum leverage ratio of tier 1 capital to adjusted average quarterly assets
equal to 3 percent for bank holding companies that meet specified criteria,
including having the highest regulatory rating. All other bank holding companies
will generally be required to maintain a leverage ratio of at least 4 to 5
percent. The corporation's leverage ratio at September 30, 1995, was 5.10
percent.

The requirements also provide that bank holding companies experiencing internal
growth or making acquisitions will be expected to maintain strong capital
positions substantially above the minimum supervisory levels without significant
reliance on intangible assets. The Federal Reserve Board also has indicated it
will continue to consider a tangible tier 1 leverage ratio (deducting all
intangibles) in evaluating proposals for expansion or new activity. The Federal
Reserve Board has not advised us of any specific minimum leverage ratio
applicable to us.

Each subsidiary bank is subject to similar capital requirements adopted by the
OCC. Each subsidiary bank listed in Table 17 had a leverage ratio in excess of
5.55 percent

                                               12

<PAGE>



at September 30, 1995. None of our subsidiary banks has been advised of any 
specific minimum capital ratios applicable to it.

The regulatory agencies also have adopted regulations establishing capital tiers
for banks. Banks in the highest capital tier, or "well capitalized," must have a
leverage ratio of 5 percent, a tier 1 capital ratio of 6 percent and a total
capital ratio of 10 percent.

At September 30, 1995, the deposit-taking subsidiary banks listed in Table 17
met the capital and leverage ratio requirements for "well capitalized" banks. We
expect to maintain these ratios at the required levels by the retention of
earnings and, if necessary, the issuance of additional capital. First Union Home
Equity Bank, N.A., is not a deposit-taking bank.

Failure to meet certain capital ratio or leverage ratio requirements could
subject a bank to a variety of enforcement remedies, including termination of
deposit insurance by the FDIC.

The Accounting and Regulatory Matters section provides more information about
proposed changes in risk-based capital standards.

INTEREST RATE RISK MANAGEMENT
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Managing interest rate risk is fundamental to banking. Banking institutions
manage the inherently different maturity and repricing characteristics of the
lending and deposit-taking lines of business to achieve a desired interest rate
sensitivity position and to limit exposure to interest rate risk. The inherent
maturity and repricing characteristics of our lending and deposit activities
create a naturally asset-sensitive structure. By using a combination of on- and
off-balance sheet financial instruments, we manage the sensitivity of earnings
to changes in interest rates within our established policy guidelines.

The Financial Management Committee of the corporation's board of directors
reviews overall interest rate risk management activity. The corporation's Funds
Management Committee, which includes the corporation's chief executive officer
and president, and senior executives from our Capital Markets Group, credit and
finance areas, oversees the interest rate risk management process and approves
policy guidelines. Balance sheet management personnel monitor the day-to-day
exposure to changes in interest rates in response to loan and deposit flows and
make adjustments within established policy guidelines.

We measure interest rate sensitivity by estimating the amount of earnings per
share at risk based on the modeling of future changes in interest rates. Our
model captures all assets and liabilities and off-balance sheet financial
instruments, and combines various assumptions affecting rate sensitivity and
changes in balance sheet mix into an earnings outlook that incorporates our view
of the interest rate environment most likely over the next 24 months. Balance
sheet management and finance personnel review and update continuously the
underlying assumptions included in the earnings simulation model. The results of
the model are reviewed by the Funds Management Committee. The model is updated
at least monthly and more often as appropriate.

Our interest rate sensitivity analysis is based on multiple interest rate
scenarios, projected changes in growth in balance sheet categories and other
assumptions.

                                               13

<PAGE>



Changes in management's outlook related to interest rates and their effect on
our balance sheet mix of assets and liabilities and other market factors may
cause actual results to differ from our current simulated outlook.

We believe our earnings simulation model is a more relevant depiction of
interest rate risk than traditional gap tables because it captures multiple
effects excluded in less sophisticated presentations, and it includes
significant variables that we identify as being affected by interest rates. For
example, our model captures rate of change differentials, such as federal funds
rates versus savings account rates; maturity effects, such as calls on
securities; and rate barrier effects, such as caps and floors on loans. It also
captures changing balance sheet levels, such as commercial and consumer loans,
both floating and fixed rate, noninterest-bearing deposits and investment
securities. In addition, it considers leads and lags that occur in long-term
rates as short-term rates move away from current levels; the elasticity in the
repricing characteristics of savings and money market deposits; and the effects
of prepayment volatility on various fixed rate assets such as residential
mortgages, mortgage-backed securities and consumer loans. These and certain
other effects are evaluated in developing the scenarios from which sensitivity
of earnings to changes in interest rates is determined.

We use three standard scenarios in analyzing interest rate sensitivity for
policy measurement. The base-line scenario is our estimated most likely path for
future short-term interest rates over the next 24 months. The "high rate" and
"low rate" scenarios assume 100 basis point shifts from the base-line scenario
in the federal funds rate by the fourth succeeding month and that rates remain
100 basis points higher or lower through the rest of the 24-month period. Our
estimate in October 1995 of the most likely path for future short-term interest
rates was that the federal funds rate would decline to 5.25 percent by June 1996
and will remain at that level through September 1997.

We determine interest rate sensitivity by the change in earnings per share
between the three scenarios over a 12-month policy measurement period. The
earnings per share as calculated by the earnings simulation model under the
base-line scenario becomes the standard. The measurement of interest rate
sensitivity is the percentage change in earnings per share calculated by the
model under high rate versus base-line and under low rate versus base-line. The
policy measurement period begins with the fourth month forward and ends with the
15th month (i.e., the 12-month period).

Our policy limit for the maximum negative impact on earnings per share resulting
from either the high rate or low rate scenario is 5 percent. Based on the
October 1995 outlook, if interest rates were to decline to follow the low rate
scenario, which means a full 100 basis point decrease under the base-line, then
earnings during the policy measurement period would be negatively affected by
2.1 percent. Our model indicates that earnings would also be immaterially 
affected in our high rate scenario. During the third quarter of 1995, we 
implemented a strategy to add approximately $7 billion of fixed-rate 
portfolio securities and off-balance sheet positions, which significantly 
reduced our forecasted asset sensitivity in 1996.


In addition to the three standard scenarios used to analyze rate sensitivity
over the policy measurement period, we also analyze the potential impact of
other interest rate scenarios on corporate earnings in managing and monitoring
our interest rate sensitivity. These alternate scenarios may include interest
rate paths both higher, lower and more volatile than those used for policy
measurement.


                                               14

<PAGE>



While our interest rate sensitivity modeling assumes that management takes no
action, we regularly assess the viability of strategies to reduce unacceptable
risks to earnings resulting not only from the standard scenarios over which
policy period sensitivity is measured, but also from alternate scenarios.

We regularly analyze strategies to mitigate the negative effect on earnings of
adverse changes in interest rates beyond the rate changes set forth by our
policy measurement criteria. As new monthly forecast results become available,
management will continue to formulate strategies to protect earnings from the
potential negative effects of changing assumptions and interest rates.

Off-Balance Sheet Derivatives For Interest Rate Risk Management
As part of our overall interest rate risk management strategy, for many years we
have used off-balance sheet derivatives as a cost- and capital-efficient way to
modify the repricing or maturity characteristics of on-balance sheet assets and
liabilities. Our off-balance sheet derivative transactions used for interest
rate sensitivity management include interest rate swaps, futures and options
with indices that relate to the pricing of specific core assets and liabilities
of the corporation. We believe we have appropriately controlled the risk so that
the derivatives used for rate sensitivity management will not have any
significant unintended effect on corporate earnings.

As a result of interest rate fluctuations, off-balance sheet transactions (and
securities) will from time to time develop unrealized appreciation or
depreciation in market values when compared with their cost. The impact on net
interest income attributable to off-balance sheet transactions, all of which are
linked to specific assets and liabilities as part of our overall interest rate
risk management strategy, will generally be offset by net interest income of
on-balance sheet assets and liabilities.

Our asset sensitivity arises naturally, primarily because the repricing
characteristics of our large core deposit base have a positive effect on net
interest income in a rising rate environment and a negative effect on net
interest income in a declining or low-rate environment. Conversely, our
fixed-rate securities and off-balance sheet instruments have the opposite effect
when rates go up or down. We mitigate our natural asset sensitivity by holding
fixed-rate debt instruments in the available-for-sale securities portfolio or by
holding off-balance sheet "asset proxies." These asset proxies consist of
interest rate swaps that convert floating rate assets (primarily variable rate
loans) to fixed rate assets. The unrealized appreciation and depreciation of
these asset proxies generally offset the appreciation and depreciation of core
deposits. The combination of securities and interest rate swaps enables us to
achieve a desired level of interest rate sensitivity.

Another common application of off-balance sheet instruments is the use of
interest rate swaps to convert fixed rate debt into floating rate debt. This is
accomplished by entering into interest rate swap contracts to receive a fixed
rate of interest to the contractual maturity of the debt issued and to pay a
variable rate, usually six-month LIBOR. These "liability swaps," all of which
are linked to specific debt issuances, leave rate sensitivity unchanged, whereas
the fixed-rate debt issuance alone would have increased asset sensitivity or
reduced liability sensitivity. The combination of the liability swaps and debt
produces the desired LIBOR-based floating rate funding regardless of changes in
overall rates.

Our overall goal is to manage the corporation's rate sensitivity in ways that
the earnings momentum is not adversely affected materially whether rates go up
or down.


                                               15

<PAGE>



The important consideration is not the shifting of unrealized appreciation or
depreciation between and among on- and off-balance sheet instruments, but the
prudent management of interest rate sensitivity so that corporate earnings are
not at risk as interest rates move up or down.

The fair value appreciation of off-balance sheet derivative financial
instruments used to manage our interest rate sensitivity was $118 million at
September 30, 1995, compared with fair value depreciation of $422 million at
December 31, 1994.

The carrying amount of financial instruments used for interest rate risk
management includes amounts for deferred gains and losses related to terminated
positions. The amount of deferred gains and losses from off-balance sheet
instruments used to manage interest rate risk was $11 million and $18 million,
respectively, as of September 30, 1995. These net losses will reduce net
interest income by $6 million in the fourth quarter of 1995 and $1 million in
1996. The increased contribution to net interest income in a higher interest
rate environment from on-balance sheet assets and liabilities is expected to
substantially offset the potential reduced contribution to net interest income
reflected by the decline in market value of off-balance sheet derivative
financial instruments.

Although off-balance sheet derivative financial instruments do not expose the
corporation to credit risk equal to the notional amount, we are exposed to
credit risk equal to the extent of the fair value gain in an off-balance sheet
derivative financial instrument if the counterparty fails to perform. We
minimize the credit risk in these instruments by dealing only with high quality
counterparties. Each transaction is specifically approved for applicable credit
exposure.

In addition, our policy is to require all swaps and options be governed by an
International Swaps and Derivatives Association Master Agreement. Bilateral
collateral arrangements are in place for substantially all dealer
counterparties.

Collateral for dealer transactions and derivatives used in our trading
activities is delivered by either party when the credit risk associated with a
particular transaction, or group of transactions to the extent netting exists,
exceeds acceptable thresholds of credit risk. Thresholds are determined based on
the strength of the individual counterparty and are bilateral. As of September
30, 1995, the total credit risk in excess of thresholds was $146 million. The
fair value of collateral held was 100 percent of the total credit risk in excess
of thresholds. For nondealer transactions, the need for collateral is evaluated
on an individual transaction basis and is primarily dependent on the financial
strength of the counterparty.

ACCOUNTING AND REGULATORY MATTERS
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------


The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) has issued Standard No. 114,
"Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan," which requires that all
creditors value all specifically reviewed loans for which it is probable that
the creditor will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the terms of
the loan agreement at the present value of expected cash flows, market price of
the loan, if available, or value of the underlying collateral. Expected cash
flows are required to be discounted at the loan's effective interest rate. This
Standard is required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1994. The
FASB also has issued Standard No. 118, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment
of a Loan -- Income Recognition and Disclosures," that amends FASB Standard No.
114 to allow a creditor to use existing methods for

                                               16

<PAGE>



recognizing interest income on an impaired loan and by requiring additional
disclosures about how a creditor recognizes interest income related to impaired
loans. This Standard is to be implemented concurrently with Standard No. 114. On
January 1, 1995, we adopted the provisions of Standards No. 114 and 118. The
adoption of the Standards required no increase to the allowance for loan losses
and had no impact on net income in the first nine months of 1995. The impact to
historical and current amounts related to in-substance foreclosures was not
material, and accordingly, historical amounts will not be restated. The Asset
Quality section includes information about impaired loans.

The FASB has also issued FASB Interpretation No. 39, "Offsetting of Amounts
Related to Certain Contracts," which defines right of set-off and sets forth the
conditions under which that right may be applied. Specific guidance with respect
to certain financial instruments such as forward, interest rate swap, currency
swap, option and other conditional or exchange contracts and clarification of
the circumstances in which it is appropriate to offset amounts recognized for
those contracts in the statement of financial position is also included in this
Interpretation. In addition, it permits offsetting of fair value amounts
recognized for multiple forward, swap, option and other conditional or exchange
contracts executed with the same counterparty under a master netting
arrangement. This Interpretation is effective for financial statements issued
for periods beginning after December 15, 1993. The FASB has also issued FASB
Interpretation No. 41, "Offsetting of Amounts Related to Certain Repurchase and
Reverse Repurchase Agreements," which modifies FASB Interpretation No. 39 to
permit offsetting in the statement of financial position of payables and
receivables that represent repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase
agreements, respectively, which have the same settlement date, are executed with
the same counterparty in accordance with a master netting arrangement, involve
securities that exist in "book entry" form, and settle on securities transfer
systems that have the same key operating characteristics as the Federal
Securities Transfer System. This Interpretation is effective for financial
statements issued for periods ending after December 31, 1994. The effect of the
corporation's adoption of the provisions of these Interpretations has been
immaterial.

The FASB also has issued Standard No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of," which requires
that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles to be held and used
by an entity be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be
recoverable. An estimate of the future cash flows expected to result from the
use of the asset and its eventual disposition should be performed during a
review for recoverability. An impairment loss (based on the fair value of the
asset) is recognized if the sum of the expected future cash flows (undiscounted
and without interest charges) is less than the carrying amount of the asset.
Additionally, Standard No. 121 requires that long-lived assets and certain
identifiable intangibles to be disposed of be reported at the lower of carrying
amount or fair value less cost to sell, except for certain assets. These assets
will continue to be reported at the lower of carrying amount or net realizable
value. The periodic effect on net income, if any, has not been determined. This
Standard is required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995.

The FASB also has issued Standard No. 122, "Accounting for Certain Mortgage
Banking Activities," which requires that a mortgage banking enterprise recognize
as separate assets the rights to service mortgage loans for others, however
those servicing rights are acquired. A mortgage banking enterprise that acquires
mortgage servicing rights through either the purchase or origination of mortgage
loans and sells

                                               17

or securitizes those loans with servicing rights retained should allocate the
total cost of the mortgage loans to the mortgage servicing rights and the loans
(without the mortgage servicing rights) based on their relative fair values if
it is practicable to estimate those fair values. If it is not practicable to
estimate the fair values of the mortgage servicing rights and the mortgage loans
(without the mortgage servicing rights), the entire cost of purchasing or
originating the loans should be allocated only to the mortgage loans without the
mortgage servicing rights. Additionally, this Standard requires that a mortgage
banking enterprise periodically assess its capitalized mortgage servicing rights
for impairment based on the fair value of those rights. The corporation adopted
this Standard on a prospective basis only, beginning on July 1, 1995, and the
effect on net income has not been material to the results of operations.

The FASB has also issued Standard No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based 
Compensation," which requires that the fair value of employee stock-based 
compensation plans be recorded as a component of compensation expense in the 
statement of income as of the date of grant of awards related to such plans 
or that the impact of such fair value on net income and earnings per share be 
disclosed on a pro forma basis in a footnote to financial statements for 
awards granted after December 15, 1994 if the accounting for such awards 
continues to be in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 
25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" (APB 25). The corporation 
will continue such accounting under the provisions of APB 25. This Standard 
is required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995.


The Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989
(FIRREA), among other provisions, imposes liability on a bank insured by the
FDIC for certain obligations to the FDIC incurred in connection with other
insured banks under common control.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act, among other things,
requires a revision of risk-based capital standards. The new standards are
required to incorporate interest rate risk, concentration of credit risk and the
risks of nontraditional activities and to reflect the actual performance and
expected risk of loss of multifamily mortgages. The Risk-Based Capital section
provides information on risk assessment classifications.

On August 8, 1995, the FDIC amended its regulations on insurance assessments to
establish a new assessment rate schedule of 4 to 31 cents per $100.00 of
deposits in replacement of the existing schedule of 23 to 31 cents per $100.00
of deposits for institutions whose deposits are subject to assessment by the
Bank Insurance Fund (BIF). The FDIC has maintained the current assessment rate
schedule of 23 to 31 cents per $100.00 of deposits for institutions whose
deposits are subject to assessment by the Savings Association Insurance Fund
(SAIF). The new BIF schedule became effective on June 1, 1995. Assessments
collected at the previous assessment schedule that exceeded the amount due under
the new schedule were refunded, with interest, from the effective date of the
new schedule. As a result, First Union received a $26 million refund, including
interest, in the third quarter of 1995. As of June 30, 1995, First Union had a
BIF deposit assessment base of $40.9 billion and a SAIF deposit assessment base
of $16.4 billion. Various legislative proposals regarding the future of the BIF
and the SAIF have been reported recently. Several of these proposals include a
one-time special assessment for SAIF deposits and a subsequent comparable and
reduced level of annual premiums for SAIF and BIF deposits. First Union does not
know when and if any such proposal or any other related proposal may be adopted.

Legislation has been enacted providing that deposits and certain claims for
administrative expenses and employee compensation against an insured depository
institution would be afforded a priority over other general unsecured claims
against such an institution, including federal funds and letters of credit, in
the "liquidation or other resolution" of such an institution by any receiver.

The Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994 (IBBEA)
authorizes interstate acquisitions of banks and bank holding companies without
geographic limitation beginning September 27, 1995. In addition, beginning June
1, 1997, a bank may merge with a bank in another state as long as neither of the
states opt out of interstate branching between the date of enactment of IBBEA
and May 31,

                                               18

<PAGE>


1997. IBBEA further provides that a state may enact laws permitting interstate
merger transactions before June 1, 1997.


Various other legislative proposals concerning the banking industry are pending
in Congress. Given the uncertainty of the legislative process, we cannot assess
the impact of any such legislation on our financial condition or results of
operations.

Included in "U.S.  Government  agencies" and "Other" at September 30, 1995,  are
$1,113,309,000  of securities that are denominated in currencies  other than the
U.S.  Dollar.  The currency  exchange  rates were hedged  utilizing  both on and
off-balance sheet  instruments to minimize the exposure to currency  revaluation
risks. At September 30, 1995,  these  securities had a weighted average maturity
of 2.96 years and a weighted average yield of 6.28 percent. The weighted average
U.S.  equivalent  yield for  comparative  purposes of these  securities was 4.96
percent based on a weighted average funding cost differential of (1.32) percent.

Expected  maturities will differ from contractual  maturities  because borrowers
may have  the  right  to call or  prepay  obligations  with or  without  call or
prepayment penalties. The aging of mortgage-backed  securities is based on their
weighted  average  maturities at September 30, 1995.  Average  maturity in years
excludes preferred and common stocks and money market funds.

Weighted  average  yields  are  based  on  amortized  cost.  Yields  related  to
securities exempt from both federal and state income taxes, federal income taxes
only or state income taxes only are stated on a fully tax-equivalent basis. They
are reduced by the nondeductible portion of interest expense, assuming a federal
tax rate of 35  percent;  a North  Carolina  state tax rate of 7.75  percent;  a
Georgia and Tennessee  state tax rate of 6 percent;  a South  Carolina state tax
rate of 4.5 percent;  a Florida state tax rate of 5.5 percent;  a Maryland state
tax rate of 7  percent;  and a  Washington,  D.C.  tax  rate of  9.975  percent,
respectively.

There were commitments to purchase  securities at a cost of $1,233,586,000  that
had a market  value of  $1,244,506,000  at  September  30,  1995.  There were no
commitments  to sell  securities at September  30, 1995.  Gross gains and losses
from sales are  accounted  for on a trade  date  basis.  Gross  gains and losses
realized  on the  sale of  securities  in the  first  nine  months  of 1995 were
$23,911,000 and  $28,084,000,  respectively.  Gross gains and losses realized on
sundry securities were $13,836,000 and $72,000, respectively.

Expected  maturities will differ from contractual  maturities  because borrowers
may have  the  right  to call or  prepay  obligations  with or  without  call or
prepayment penalties. The aging of mortgage-backed  securities is based on their
weighted average maturities at September 30, 1995.

Yields  related to  securities  exempt from both federal and state income taxes,
federal  income  taxes  only or state  income  taxes  only are stated on a fully
tax-equivalent  basis. They are reduced by the nondeductible portion of interest
expense,  assuming a federal tax rate of 35 percent;  a North Carolina state tax
rate of 7.75  percent;  a Georgia and Tennessee  state tax rate of 6 percent;  a
South  Carolina  state tax rate of 4.5 percent;  a Florida state tax rate of 5.5
percent; a Maryland state tax rate of 7 percent; and a Washington, D.C. tax rate
of 9.975 percent, respectively.

There  were  commitments  to  purchase  investment   securities  at  a  cost  of
$946,516,000  that had a market value of  $956,469,000  at  September  30, 1995.
There were no commitments to sell securities at September 30, 1995.  Gross gains
and  losses  realized  on  repurchase  agreement  underdeliveries  and  calls of
investment  securities  in the first  nine  months of 1995 were  $4,726,000  and
$685,000, respectively.

 The  information  included  herein  should  be read  in  conjunction  with  
the discussion  appearing  under  "Interest  Rate Risk  Management"  and with 
Tables 19-21. This  interest  rate gap table  has  inherent  limitations  on 
its  ability  to accurately portray interest rate sensitivity and, therefore, 
it is only provided in conjunction  with common banking industry practice.  
The amounts presented herein are based on contractual maturities or repricing 
terms, as appropriate, and  internally-prepared prepayment assumptions related 
to certain mortgage products, and do not reflect deposit run-off or other 
assumptions.  Additionally,  in conjunction with such practices, savings and 
NOW accounts are included in non-sensitive and sensitive over five years
classification.  Money market  accounts are included in the 1-90 day 
classification.

 *Loans are stated net of unearned income.

                       LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN 


    Strong fee income growth highlighted First Union's record third quarter
earnings performance. We earned $255 million in net income applicable to common
stockholders for the third quarter of 1995, up from $235 million in the third
quarter a year ago. On a per common share basis, earnings increased 11 percent
to $1.50 per share, compared with $1.35 in the third quarter a year ago.
Earnings in the second quarter of 1995 were $249 million, or $1.45 per share. 

    In the first nine months of 1995, net income applicable to common
stockholders was $734 million, or $4.27 per share, compared with $675 million,
or $3.94, in the first nine months of 1994. The per-share increase was 8
percent. 

    Loan growth and credit quality also continued to be strong. 

    The strong increase in fee income helps validate our expectations for
renewed earnings momentum at First Fidelity after we combine our two companies.
We are seeing the results of our investments in capital markets, capital
management and other businesses that expand our traditional banking base, and we
are optimistic about our financial results for 1995 and 1996. 

    First Union and First Fidelity are well along in the planning processes for
the merger of our two companies. We already have identified ways to build
relationships in capital markets and other areas that will allow us to "hit the
deck running" when the acquisition is completed. We appreciate the support of
our stockholders, who overwhelmingly approved the merger on October 3, 1995. 


Sincerely, 

(Signature - Edward E. Crutchfield)

MCI AND FIRST UNION OFFER INTERNET ACCESS 

    MCI Communications Corporation and First Union joined forces to offer
customers a free software and service package to provide easy access to the
Internet global computer network. For their 18-month market test, the two
companies will put the power of the Internet directly into the hands of First
Union's retail and commercial customers by providing personal computer software
disks that connect customers directly into a custom-designed First Union
Internet home page. 

    From there, customers will be able to access a wide variety of First Union
banking applications, information and the bank's "virtual" shopping mall. Bank
customers will also be able to make secure transactions directly over the
Internet so that their account and credit card numbers are safe from electronic
eavesdroppers. The software package enables bank customers to browse the
Internet's World Wide Web -the fastest growing portion of the Internet. You can
reserve a copy of the free First Union Internet Access Package by calling 1-800-
WWW-FUNB. 



FIRST UNION SELECTED AS ONE OF "100 BEST COMPANIES" 

    Working Mother magazine has selected First Union as one of the "100 Best
Companies" for working mothers. The magazine selects companies for its annual
list based on pay, opportunities for women to advance, support for child care
and family-friendly benefits. At First Union, women make up 40 percent of the
company's highest paid employees (top 20 percent). "As differences between
products, services and prices of financial institutions diminish, personal
relationships with customers and quality service will become increasingly
important," said CEO Edward Crutchfield. "Our employees cannot provide their
customers unsurpassed service if they are struggling with personal problems. It
makes sound business sense for First Union to help employees get the resources
they need to help balance competing responsibilities on and off the job." 

    First Union has instituted several programs to help promote family life. 
For example, the company introduced a new employee resource and referral 
service, called LifeWorks, in January 1995.

By calling a toll-free number, First Union's more than 30,000 employees 
nationwide can get free, practical advice from experts on topics ranging from 
teenage peer pressure to affordable nursing care for elderly relatives. First 
Union also offers a childcare resource and referral service to help employees 
find child care. One of the company's most popular benefits is its 
paid-time-away-from-work program, which gives employees four hours of paid 
time per month to volunteer in schools and education programs. 



FIRST UNION AND BLACK COLLEGES COLLABORATE 

    First Union has developed an affinity credit card program for historically
black colleges and universities designed to assist the fundraising efforts of
alumni associations and promote pride among constituents. The initiative is part
of a comprehensive study by the bank to establish long-term relationships with
black colleges and universities throughout the nation. "The affinity card is one
of many mutually beneficial programs we'd like to develop with historically
black colleges," Lenny Springs, First Union vice president and assistant
director of community reinvestment, said. "We hope we can expand these
relationships to include economic development projects, campus revitalization
and housing initiatives for faculty and staff." The affinity card program offers
each participating school a custom-designed Classic Visa for alumni, faculty,
staff and students. Each time the card is used, First Union will make a
contribution to the school and a portion of the annual fee will be donated to
the institution.

                    NOTES TO PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION
(1)      The pro forma information presented is not necessarily indicative of
    the results of operations or the combined financial position that would have
    resulted had the Purchase Acquisitions indicated in Note (3) below and the
    First Fidelity acquisition been consummated at the beginning of the periods
    indicated, nor is it necessarily indicative of the results of operations in
    future periods or the future financial position of the combined entities.
    Consummation of the First Fidelity acquisition or either of the pending
    Purchase Acquisitions is not contingent upon consummation of any other of
    such acquisitions. Consummation of one or both of the pending Purchase
    Acquisitions prior to consummation of the First Fidelity acquisition would
    not materially impact the results of operations of the Corporation.
(2)      It is assumed that the First Fidelity acquisition will be accounted for
    on a pooling of interests accounting basis, and accordingly, the related pro
    forma adjustments herein reflect, where applicable, an exchange ratio of (i)
    1.35 shares of the Corporation's common stock for each of the 81,934,078
    shares of First Fidelity common stock (less 1,293,756 treasury shares) which
    were outstanding at September 30, 1995; and (ii) one share of one of three
    corresponding new series of the Corporation's class A preferred stock for
    each share of the related three series of First Fidelity preferred stock
    outstanding at September 30, 1995, one series of which includes 3,705,980
    shares of convertible preferred stock, which as of such date were
    convertible into 2,891,034 shares of First Fidelity common stock. The new
    series of the Corporation's class A preferred stock will have substantially
    identical terms as the series being exchanged therefor.
         As a result, information was adjusted for the First Fidelity
    acquisition by the (i) addition of 108,864,435 shares of the Corporation's
    common stock amounting to $362,881,000; (ii) elimination of 81,934,078
    shares of First Fidelity common stock amounting to $81,934,000; (iii)
    cancellation of 1,293,756 treasury shares of First Fidelity at a cost of
    $67,225,000; and (iv) recordation of the remaining net amount of
    $348,172,000 as a reduction in paid-in capital at September 30, 1995.
         The pro forma financial information presented herein does not give
    effect to the possible purchase by the Corporation and/or First Fidelity of
    up to 5.5 million shares of First Fidelity common stock or 7.4 million
    shares of the Corporation's common stock, or some combination of the two
    (the "First Fidelity Acquisition Shares"), prior to consummation of the
    First Fidelity acquisition. The Corporation has purchased 2.9 million shares
    of First Fidelity common stock at a cost of $181 million, and 250,000 shares
    of FFB convertible preferred stock at a cost of $12 million.
         As of September 30, 1995, the Corporation and First Fidelity had
    13,760,713 and 5,325,010 shares of common stock reserved for issuance,
    respectively, (excluding, as to the Corporation, shares reserved for
    issuance in connection with the First Fidelity acquisition, the pending
    Purchase Acquisitions, or upon exercise of the rights attached to shares
    of the Corporation's common stock).
         For the nine months ended September 30, 1995, First Fidelity had net
    income applicable to common stockholders of $338,481,000.
(3)      During the period from January 1, 1994 through the date hereof, the
    Corporation completed or has pending, the following purchase accounting
    acquisitions (the "Purchase Acquisitions"): (i) the acquisition of
    BancFlorida Financial Corporation (completed in August 1994) with assets of
    $1.6 billion for 3.6 million shares of the Corporation's common stock valued
    at $161 million, (ii) the acquisitions of First Florida Savings Bank, FSB
    (completed April 1995), Ameribanc Investors Group (completed in April 1995),
    Coral Gables Fedcorp, Inc. (completed May 1995), and Home Federal Savings
    Bank of Rome, Georgia (completed in August 1995), at an aggregate cost of
    $623 million in cash, (iii) the acquisitions of American Savings Bank of
    Florida, FSB (completed in July 1995), United Financial Corporation of South
    Carolina, Inc. (completed in October 1995), Columbia First Bank, FSB
    (completed on November 3, 1995), and RS Financial Corp. and Brentwood
    National Bank (each of which is pending as of the date hereof) for an
    estimated 15.4 million shares of the Corporation's common stock valued at
    an estimated $747 million.

         In addition to the foregoing Purchase Acquisitions, during 1994, the
    Corporation completed the following purchase accounting acquisitions:
    (i) the December 1994 purchase of a DE MINIMUS amount of loans, and the
    purchase of deposits from Chase Manhattan Bank of Florida, N.A. ("Chase")
    and Great Western Federal Savings Bank ("Great Western"), which in the
    aggregate amounted to $1.8 billion, at an aggregate cost of approximately
    $137 million, and (ii) the purchase of deposits of Jacksonville Federal
    Savings Association, Citizens Federal Savings Association, Cobb Federal
    Savings Association and Hollywood Federal Savings Association from the
    Resolution Trust Corporation ("RTC") in the aggregate amount of $640
    million, at an aggregate
 
<PAGE>
    cost of $68 million. Purchases of deposits from Chase, Great Western and the
    RTC do not constitute a sufficient continuity of operations, and moreover,
    additional financial data is not available to develop meaningful and
    reliable pro forma income statement information with respect to such
    purchases. Accordingly, the pro forma financial information presented herein
    includes such acquisitions at their recorded costs and does not include any
    pro forma adjustments related thereto.
         Goodwill and deposit base premium of approximately $620 million and
    $372 million, respectively, are currently expected to result from the
    Purchase Acquisitions.
         In connection with certain of the foregoing Purchase Acquisitions in
    which the consideration involved or will involve the issuance of the
    Corporation's common stock, the pro forma financial information presented
    herein includes actual and assumed repurchases of the Corporation's common
    stock that in the aggregate amount to 19.4 million shares at a cost of $882
    million. During 1994, the Corporation purchased 4.9 million shares of the
    Corporation's common stock at a cost of $212 million; and during the first
    nine months of 1995, through the date hereof, 14.5 million shares of the
    Corporation's common stock at a cost of $670 million.
         In April 1995, the Corporation's Board of Directors authorized the
    purchase of up to 15 million shares of the Corporation's common stock, which
    is in addition to the possible purchase of the First Fidelity Acquisition
    Shares. As of the date hereof, the Corporation had authority to purchase up
    to 5.1 million shares of its common stock, in addition to the First Fidelity
    Acquisition Shares and the shares repurchased pursuant to the foregoing
    paragraph.
(4)      The pro forma adjustment amounts related to the pro forma combined
    condensed statements of income reflect a 5.71 percent and 4.08 percent cost
    of funds for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and the year ended
    December 31, 1994, respectively, a six-to-ten year straight-line life
    related to investment securities, a nine-year straight-line life related to
    loans, a 10-year straight-line life related to premises and equipment and
    mortgage servicing rights, a 10-year sum-of-the-years digits method related
    to deposit base premium, and a 25-year straight-line life related to
    goodwill.
         These adjustments resulted in reductions in interest income, net
    interest income and net interest income after provision for loan losses for
    the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and the year ended December 31,
    1994 of $25,930,000 and $80,286,000, respectively; increases in noninterest
    expense of $19,897,000 and $52,677,000, respectively; reductions in income
    before income taxes of $45,827,000 and $132,963,000, respectively;
    reductions in income taxes of $14,146,000 and $40,535,000, respectively; and
    reductions in net income applicable to common stockholders of $31,681,000
    and $92,428,000, respectively.
(5)      Income per share data has been computed based on the combined
    historical net income applicable to common stockholders of the Corporation,
    First Fidelity and the companies involved in the Purchase Acquisitions using
    the historical weighted average shares outstanding of the Corporation's
    common stock and the weighted average outstanding shares, adjusted to
    equivalent shares of the Corporation's common stock, as of the earliest
    period presented.
         The components of the pro forma adjustments related to interest income
    and noninterest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 1995, and
    the year ended December 31, 1994, are as follows:

(6)      Certain insignificant reclassifications have been included herein to
    conform statement presentations. Transactions conducted in the ordinary
    course of business between the companies are immaterial, and accordingly,
    have not been eliminated.
(7)      The unaudited pro forma financial information does not include any
    First Fidelity acquisition-related expenses or any material acquisition-
    related expenses with respect to the Purchase Acquisitions. A currently
    estimated after-tax First Fidelity acquisition-related charge of
    approximately $270 million, or $.97 per share of the Corporation's common
    stock, is expected to be recorded in the appropriate period based on the
    consummation date of the First Fidelity acquisition.

    and based solely on combined financial information as of September 30, 1995,
    upon consummation of the First Fidelity acquisition and the Purchase
    Acquisitions, the Corporation's historical net income per common share after
    redemption premium for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and year
    ended December 31, 1994, would have been diluted by 16 percent and 10
    percent, respectively. It should not necessarily be assumed, however, that
    the foregoing data will represent actual dilution with respect to the First
    Fidelity acquisition and the Purchase Acquisitions.
(9)      For purposes of computing the combined ratios of earnings to fixed
    charges of the Corporation and First Fidelity, earnings represent income
    from continuing operations before extraordinary items and cumulative effect
    of a change in accounting principle plus income taxes and fixed charges
    (excluding capitalized interest). Fixed charges, excluding interest on
    deposits, represent interest (other than on deposits, but including
    capitalized interest), one-third (the proportion deemed representative of
    the interest factor) of rents and all amortization of debt issuance costs.
    Fixed charges, including interest on deposits, represent all interest
    (including capitalized interest), one-third (the proportion deemed
    representative of the interest factor) of rents and all amortization of debt
    issuance costs. Pretax preferred stock dividends are included in fixed
    charges when computing the combined ratios of earnings to fixed charges and
    preferred stock dividends.

              SUMMARIZED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1)      In Management's opinion, the financial information, which is unaudited,
         reflects  all  adjustments   (consisting  solely  of  normal  recurring
         adjustments)  necessary  for  a  fair  presentation  of  the  financial
         information  as of and for the  three  and  nine  month  periods  ended
         September 30, 1995 and September 30, 1994 in conformity  with generally
         accepted accounting  principles.  These financial  statements should be
         read  in  conjunction  with  First  Fidelity  Bancorporation's  ("First
         Fidelity" or "the Company" herein) 1994 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

(2)      Primary  earnings per share is based on the weighted  average number of
         common  shares  outstanding  during each period,  including the assumed
         exercise of dilutive  stock  options and  warrants,  using the treasury
         stock method.  Primary earnings per share also reflects  provisions for
         dividend  requirements  on all  outstanding  shares  of  the  Company's
         preferred stock.

         Fully  diluted  earnings  per  share is based on the  weighted  average
         number of common shares outstanding  during each period,  including the
         assumed conversion of convertible preferred stock into common stock and
         the assumed  exercise of dilutive  stock options and warrants using the
         treasury stock method.  Fully diluted  earnings per share also reflects
         provisions  for  dividend  requirements  on  non-convertible  preferred
         stock.

(3)      As previously reported,  effective January 1, 1995, the Company adopted
         Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards ("SFAS") 114, "Accounting
         by Creditors  for  Impairment of a Loan" and SFAS 118,  "Accounting  by
         Creditors   for   Impairment   of  a   Loan--Income   Recognition   and
         Disclosures".  Under SFAS 114 and SFAS 118, impaired loans are measured
         based on the present value of expected future cash flows, discounted at
         the loan's effective interest rate, or as a practical expedient, at the
         loan's  observable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if
         the loan is collateral-dependent.

(4      In March,  1995, SFAS 121,  "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived
         Assets and for Long-Lived  Assets to Be Disposed Of", was issued.  SFAS
         121  requires   that   long-lived   assets  and  certain   identifiable
         intangibles  and any  associated  goodwill be reviewed  for  impairment
         whenever events or  circumstances  indicate that the carrying amount of
         an asset  may not be  recoverable.  SFAS 121 also  requires  long-lived
         assets and  certain  identifiable  intangibles  to be disposed of to be
         reported  at the lower of  carrying  amount or fair  value less cost to
         sell. The adoption of SFAS 121, which is required beginning in 1996, is
         not  expected  to have a  material  effect on the  Company's  financial
         statements.

(5)      During  the second  quarter  of 1995,  the  Company  adopted  SFAS 122,
         "Accounting for Mortgage  Servicing  Rights",  which was issued in May,
         1995. SFAS 122 amends SFAS 65, "Accounting for Certain Mortgage Banking
         Activities".  SFAS 122  requires  that a  mortgage  banking  enterprise
         recognize,  as  separate  assets,  rights to  service  mortgage  loans,
         however those  servicing  rights are acquired.  SFAS 122 eliminates the
         previously  existing  accounting  distinction  between servicing rights
         acquired through purchase  transactions and those acquired through loan
         originations.  SFAS 122 also  requires that a mortgage  banking  entity
         assess its capitalized mortgage servicing rights ("MSRs")  periodically
         for  impairment,  based on the fair  value  of  those  rights.  Through
         September 30, 1995,  servicing rights capitalized  pursuant to SFAS 122
         were not material to the Company's financial statements.

(6)      The carrying value of capitalized  MSRs at September 30, 1995 was $47.4
         million,  which  approximated  fair value. Fair value was determined by
         calculating  the  discounted  present  value of estimated  expected net
         future cash flows,  considering  estimated  prepayments  and  defaults,
         projected interest rates and other factors.  For purposes of evaluating
         and measuring  impairment,  capitalized MSRs are aggregated into groups
         having homogeneous risk characteristics, based on the attributes of the
         underlying  loans,  and  are  separately   valued,   using  appropriate
         assumptions  for each risk group.  No valuation  allowance was required
         for capitalized MSRs at September 30, 1995.

(7)      As  previously  reported,  on June 19, 1995,  First  Fidelity and First
         Union  Corporation   ("First  Union")  announced  the  execution  of  a
         definitive  Agreement  and Plan of  Merger  (the  "Merger  Agreement"),
         pursuant to which, among other things,  First Fidelity would merge into
         a wholly-owned  subsidiary of First Union (the  "Merger").  The Merger,
         which  has  been  approved  by  the  respective  shareholders  of  both
         companies  and by the Federal  Reserve  Board,  is expected to close by
         January 1, 1996, subject to certain  conditions of closing.  The Merger
         will  be  accounted  for as a  pooling  of  interests  under  generally
         accepted accounting principles.

(8)      In October, 1995, SFAS 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", 
         was issued. SFAS 123 establishes the concept of a fair-value-based 
         method of accounting for employee stock compensation plans. Companies 
         having such plans will have the option of either: a) recording as 
         compensation cost the fair value as of grant date of stock options 
         granted to employees, ratably over the vesting period, or b) continuing
         to account for such options as prescribed in Accounting Principles 
         Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees."
         If the latter option is selected, the Company must provide pro-forma 
         footnote disclosures which illustrate what the impact would have been 
         on net income and earnings per share, had the fair value-based method 
         been used. The Company does not anticipate that SFAS 123, which is 
         required beginning in 1996, will have an impact on its financial 
         statements.
