Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Cullen/Frost Bankers, Inc. and Subsidiaries
(tables in thousands)

Note A-Basis of Presentation

     The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Cullen/Frost
and its wholly owned subsidiaries.  All significant intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.  The consolidated financial
statements have not been audited by independent accountants, but in the opinion
of management, reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the
financial position and results of operations.  All such adjustments were of a
normal and recurring nature. Certain reclassifications have been made to make
prior periods comparable.  For further information, refer to the consolidated
financial statements and footnotes thereto included in Cullen/Frost's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998.  The balance sheet at
December 31, 1998 has been derived from our audited financial statements at
that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by
generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.

Note B-Allowance for Possible Loan Losses

     An analysis of the transactions in the allowance for possible loan losses
is presented below.  The amount charged to operating expense is based on
management's assessment of the adequacy of the allowance to absorb loan losses
inherent in the loan portfolio.

Note C-Impaired Loans

     A loan within the scope of SFAS No. 114 is considered impaired when, based
on current information and events, it is probable that Cullen/Frost will be
unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the
loan agreement, including scheduled principal and interest payments.  All
impaired loans are included in non-performing assets.  At June 30, 1999, the
majority of the impaired loans were real estate loans and collectibility was
measured based on the fair value of the collateral.  Interest payments on
impaired loans are typically applied to principal unless collectibility of the
principal amount is fully assured, in which case interest is recognized on the
cash basis.  No interest revenue was recognized on loans impaired as of June
30, 1999 compared to $52,000 recognized a year ago.  The total allowance for
possible loan losses includes activity related to allowances calculated in
accordance with SFAS No. 114 and activity related to other loan loss allowances
determined in accordance with SFAS No. 5.

</TABLE>


     At June 30, 1999 and 1998, Cullen/Frost's subsidiary banks were considered
"well capitalized" as defined by the FDIC Improvement Act of 1991, the highest
rating, and Cullen/Frost's capital ratios were in excess of "well capitalized"
levels.  A financial institution is deemed to be well capitalized if the
institution has a total risk-based capital ratio of 10.0 percent or greater, a
Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 6.0 percent
<PAGE>



or greater, and a leverage ratio of 5.0 percent or greater, and the institution
is not subject to an order, written agreement, capital directive or prompt
corrective action directive to meet and maintain a specific level for any
capital measure.  Cullen/Frost and its subsidiary banks currently exceed all
minimum capital requirements.  Regulators can initiate certain mandatory
actions, if Cullen/Frost fails to meet the minimum requirements, that could
have a direct material effect on Cullen/Frost's financial statements.

Note F-Income Taxes

     The tax expense for the second quarter of 1999 was $12.6 million.  This
amount consisted of current tax expense of $14.7 million and deferred tax
benefit of $2.1 million.  Year-to-date tax expense is $25.0 million, consisting
of current tax expense of $28.5 million and deferred tax benefit of $3.5
million.  Net deferred tax assets were $31.3 million with no valuation
allowance.  The deferred tax assets were supported by taxes paid in prior
years.  The tax expense for the second quarter of 1998 was $8.1 million,
consisting of current tax expense of $9 million and deferred tax benefit of $.9
million.  Year-to-date tax expense for 1998 was $18.8 million, consisting of
current tax expense of $20.9 million and deferred tax benefit of $2.1 million.
Income tax payments for the first six months of 1999 and 1998 were $26.8
million and $22.9 million, respectively.

Note G-Merger and Acquisitions

     On May 20, 1999, the Corporation paid approximately $42.25 million to
acquire Commerce Financial Corporation and its four-location subsidiary, Bank
of Commerce, in Fort Worth, Texas.  The total cash consideration was funded
through internal sources.  The purchase method of accounting has been used to
record the transaction and as such, the purchase price has been allocated to
the underlying assets and liabilities based on estimated fair values at the
date of acquisition.  Such estimates may be subsequently revised.  The
Corporation acquired loans of approximately $76 million and deposits of
approximately $164 million.  The intangible assets associated with the
acquisition amounted to approximately $ 31.6 million.  This acquisition is not
expected to have a material impact on the Corporation's 1999 net income.
     On May 1, 1999, Frost Insurance Agency, a subsidiary of The Frost National
Bank, acquired Professional Insurance Agents, Inc. (PIA), a mid-sized
independent insurance agency based in Victoria, Texas, with additional
locations in San Antonio, New Braunfels and Refugio.  PIA offers corporate and
personal property and casualty insurance as well as group, health and life
insurance products to individuals and businesses.  The purchase method of
accounting was used to record the transaction.  This acquisition is not
expected to have a material impact on the Corporation's 1999 net income.
     On January 15, 1999, the Corporation paid approximately $18.7 million to
acquire Keller State Bank with three locations in Tarrant County, Texas.  The
total cash consideration was funded through internal sources.  The purchase
method of accounting has been used to record the transaction and as such the
purchase price has been allocated to the underlying assets and liabilities
based on estimated fair values at the date of acquisition.  Such estimates may
be subsequently revised.  The Corporation acquired loans of approximately $38
million and deposits of approximately $62 million.  The intangible assets
associated with the acquisition amounted to approximately $11.8 million.  This
acquisition is not expected to have a material impact on the Corporation's 1999
net income.
     On May 29, 1998, the Corporation completed the merger of Overton
Bancshares, Inc., in Fort Worth, Texas, and its wholly-owned subsidiary Overton
Bank & Trust, N. A.  The merger, which was accounted for as a "pooling-of-
interests" transaction, was the Corporation's first entry into the Fort Worth
market. With the merger, the Corporation acquired twelve locations in Fort
Worth/Arlington and two in Dallas.  The Corporation issued approximately 4.38
million (pre-split) common shares as part of this transaction.
     On January 2, 1998, the Corporation paid approximately $55.3 million to
acquire Harrisburg Bancshares, Inc., including its subsidiary Harrisburg Bank
in Houston, Texas.  This transaction was accounted for as a purchase with total
cash consideration being funded through internal sources.  The purchase price
has been allocated to the underlying assets and liabilities based on estimated
fair value at the date of acquisition. The Corporation acquired loans of
approximately $125 million and deposits of approximately $222 million.

<PAGE>



Total intangible assets associated with the acquisition amounted to
approximately $34.2 million.

Investment Banking Subsidiary
     On August 2, 1999 the Corporation began operations of its Section 20
investment banking subsidiary in Dallas, Texas.  The new subsidiary, Frost
Securities, Inc., offers a full range of services including equity research,
institutional sales, trading and investment banking services to institutional
investors and corporate customers who need access to the capital markets.

Note H-Accounting Changes

      In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities", which is required to be adopted in years
beginning after June 15, 1999.  During 1999, the FASB issued SFAS No. 137,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities-Deferral of the
Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133" which deferred the required adoption
date of SFAS No. 133 to fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000.  SFAS No.
133 will require the Corporation to recognize all derivatives on the balance
sheet at fair value.  Derivatives that are not hedges must be adjusted to fair
value through income.  If the derivative is a hedge, depending on the nature of
the hedge, changes in the fair value of derivatives will either be offset
against the change in fair value of the hedged assets, liabilities, or firm
commitments through earnings or recognized in other comprehensive income until
the hedge item is recognized in earnings.  The effective portion of a
derivative's change in fair value will be immediately recognized in earnings.
Even though early adoption is allowed, the Corporation has no plans to adopt
this statement prior to the effective date.  The impact on future results will
depend on the financial position of the Corporation and the nature and purpose
of the derivatives in use by the Corporation at that time.

Note I-Operating Segments

     The Corporation has two reportable operating segments: Banking and the
Financial Management Group.  Banking includes both commercial and consumer
banking services.  Commercial services are provided to corporations and other
business clients and include a wide array of lending and cash management
products.  Consumer banking services include direct and indirect lending,
mortgage lending and depository services.  The Financial Management Group
includes fee based services within private trust, retirement services, and
financial management services including personal wealth management and
brokerage services.  These business units were identified through the products
and services that are offered within each unit.
     The accounting policies of the individual business units are the same as
the Corporation except for the following items.  The Corporation uses a match-
funded transfer pricing process to assess operating segment performance.
Expenses for consolidated back-office operations are allocated to operating
segments based on estimated uses of those services.  General overhead type
expenses such as executive administration, accounting, internal audit, and
personnel are allocated based on the direct expense level of the operating
segment.  Income tax expense for the individual segments is calculated
basically at the statutory rate.  Parent Company records the tax expense or
benefit necessary to reconcile to the consolidated total.

Results of Operations
     The results of operations are included in the material that follows.
Certain reclassifications have been made to make prior quarters comparable.
All balance sheet figures are presented in averages unless otherwise noted.
     Cullen/Frost completed acquisitions during the first and second quarters
of 1999 and one in the first quarter of 1998.  These acquisitions were
accounted for as purchase transactions, and as such, their related results of
operations are included in the financial information that follows from the date
of acquisition.  In addition, during the second quarter of 1998 the Corporation
completed the merger with Overton Bancshares, Inc., ("Overton") which was
accounted for using the "pooling-of-interests" accounting method.    The
acquisitions and merger are outlined in the footnotes to the financial
statements on page eight.
     During the second quarter of 1999, the board of directors declared and
paid a two for one stock split.  All periods presented have been restated to
give effect to the split.
     Cullen/Frost Bankers, Inc. reported net income of $24.1 million or $.44
per diluted common share for the quarter ended June 30, 1999 compared to $24.3
million or $.44 per diluted common share for the first quarter of 1999.
Operating earnings were $21.0 million or $.38 per diluted common share for the
second quarter of 1998.  Operating earnings exclude the after-tax impact of the
merger related charge associated with the merger of Overton.  Return on average
assets and average equity increased to 1.42 percent and 18.23 percent for the
second quarter of 1999 compared to 1.33 percent and 17.40 percent,
respectively, for the second quarter of 1998 excluding the merger related
charge.  Earnings for the six months ended June 30, 1999 were $48.4 million or
$.88 per diluted common share compared to $40.4 million or $.74 per diluted
common share (excluding the after tax impact of the merger related charge) for
the same period of 1998. Return on average assets and average equity for the
six months ended June 30, 1999 increased to 1.43 percent and 18.51 percent
compared to 1.29 percent and 17.05 percent for 1998(excluding the merger
related charge).

</TABLE>

     The increase in Banking net income for the six months and three months
ended June 30, 1999 was due primarily to higher net interest income due to loan
growth and higher non-interest income impacted by internal growth, new business
initiatives and acquisitions.


Net Interest Income

     Net interest margin was 5.10 percent for the second quarter of 1999
compared to 4.98 percent and 4.96 percent for the first quarter of 1999 and
second quarter of 1998, respectively.  The net interest spread of 4.29 percent
increased 10 basis points from the first quarter of 1999 and 23 basis points
from the second quarter of 1998.  The increases in net interest margin and
spread from the first quarter of 1999 and the second quarter of 1998 were due
to strong loan growth resulting in an improved earning asset mix, as well as,
decreased deposit costs.

Non-Interest Income

     Growth in non-interest income was favorably impacted by the 1999 first
quarter acquisition of Keller State Bank and the second quarter acquisitions of
Professional Insurance Agents, Inc. ("PIA") and Commerce Financial Corporation.
Also impacting 1999 was a $2 million non-recurring gain recorded in the first
quarter.

For the second quarter 1999...

     Total non-interest income was flat compared to the first quarter of 1999
and up $3.2 million, an increase of 9.1 percent compared to the second quarter
of 1998.  Included in the first quarter of 1999 was a $2 million non-recurring
gain from the sale of a piece of property in connection with a branch
restructuring.  Excluding this non-recurring gain, non-interest income for the
second quarter of 1999 was up 5.0 percent from the previous quarter.
     Trust fees were relatively flat when compared with the previous and year
ago quarters primarily as a result of lower management fees associated with
small cap value funds, as well as trust oil and gas fees, which were offset by
growth in other areas of the Financial Management Group.  The market value of
trust assets at the end of the second quarter of 1999 was $12.7 billion with
$5.6 billion in discretionary assets and $7.1 billion in non-discretionary
assets compared to $11.9 billion a year ago with $5.5 billion in discretionary
assets and $6.4 billion in non-discretionary assets.
     Service charges on deposit accounts for the second quarter of 1999
increased $508 thousand or 3.6 percent from the first quarter of this year and
$1.4 million or 10.5 percent from the second quarter of 1998.  Most of these
increases occurred as the result of some fee increases and broad based deposit
growth that generated increases in overdraft charges and cash management fees
on commercial and individual deposits.  Other service charges were up $1.3
million for the second quarter of 1999 compared to the first quarter of 1999
and $1.3 million or 33 percent from the same quarter a year ago.  Insurance
commission income and mutual fund fees led the way in growth in this category
of non-interest income.
     Compared to the first quarter of 1999, other non-interest income decreased
$2.0 million.  This resulted primarily from the $2 million non-recurring gain
from the sale of a piece of property in connection with a branch restructuring
in the first quarter of 1999.  Other non-interest income increased $775
thousand or 12.4 percent from the second quarter of 1998.  This increase is
primarily  due to gains on the sale of foreclosed assets and student loans
offset by lower recoveries on loans that are carried at a discount and mineral
interest income than a year ago.


For the six months ended June 30, 1999...

     Non-interest income was up $8.1 million or 11.8 percent compared to the
same period last year.  Trust income decreased $862 thousand or 3.6 percent
from the same period a year ago, due to lower management fees associated with
small cap value funds, as well as trust oil and gas fees.  Service charges on
deposits increased $2.9 million or 11.4 percent

<PAGE>


compared to the same period one year ago. Broad based deposit growth generated
increases in overdraft charges, cash management fees on commercial deposits, as
well as increases in ATM income offset by lower NSF charges.  Other service
charge income increased $1.7 million or 23.1 percent from the same period last
year.  Primary contributors to this growth were insurance commission income and
mutual fund fees. Other income was up $4.5 million or 39.1 percent compared to
the same period last year.  Main contributors were the $2 million non-recurring
gain from the sale of a piece of property in connection with a branch
restructuring, gains on the sale of foreclosed assets and student loans offset
by lower recoveries on loans that are carried at a discount and mineral
interest income than a year ago.


Non-Interest Expense

     The acquisitions of Commerce Financial Corporation, Keller State Bank, and
PIA as well as the formation of Frost Securities, Inc. impacted the growth in
expenses.

For the second quarter 1999...

     Non-interest expense was up $1.4 million or 2 percent compared to last
quarter and increased $4.7 million or 7 percent compared to the second quarter
of 1998 excluding the merger-related charge associated with the merger of
Overton.
     Salaries and wages increased $841 thousand compared with the first quarter
of 1999 and were up $2.8 million or 10.1 percent from the second quarter of
1998.  These increases were related to the acquisitions, as well as new
business initiatives and merit increases.  Pension and employee benefits were
flat compared to last quarter and up 20.4 percent compared to the second
quarter of 1998.  The increase from a year ago reflects higher medical
insurance expense and the impact of the acquisitions on bank contributions to
the 401(k) stock plan.
     Net occupancy of banking premises expense remained flat with the first
quarter of 1999 and increased $706 thousand or 11.6 percent from the second
quarter of 1998.  Costs associated with closing a branch location were
primarily responsible for the increase from the year ago quarter.  Lower
operating costs during the second quarter of 1999 offset the branch closing
costs when compared to the previous quarter.  Furniture and equipment expense
increased $409 thousand or 8.9 percent and $337 thousand or 7.3 percent from
the first quarter of 1999 and the second quarter last year, respectively.  This
increase is primarily due to higher amortized software and software maintenance
costs.  Intangible amortization increased 6.5 percent and 5.8 percent from the
first quarter of 1999 and second quarter of 1998 due to the previously
mentioned acquisitions.
     Also included in the second quarter of 1998 was a $12.2 million merger
related charge associated with the merger of Overton.  Of the $12.2 million
charge approximately 39 percent related to severance payments and 29 percent
related to investment banking fees.
     Other non-interest expenses decreased $241 thousand or 1.3 percent and
$452 thousand or 2.3 percent compared to the first quarter of 1999 and second
quarter of 1998, respectively.  The decrease from a year ago is related to
lower professional expenses and security costs offset by higher conversion
related acquisition costs.


<PAGE>


For the six months ended June 30, 1999...

     Total non-interest expense was up $9.9 million or 7.5 percent compared to
the same period one year ago excluding the merger-related charge.  Salaries and
wages were up $5.3 million or 9.6 percent compared to the same period a year
ago primarily because of the acquisitions, as well as new business initiatives
and merit increases.  Pension and other benefits increased $2.0 million or 18.4
percent from the same period last year due to higher medical insurance expense
and the impact of the acquisitions on bank contributions to the 401(k) stock
plan.  Net occupancy of banking premises was up $1.3 million or 10.6 percent
compared to a year ago.  This increase is attributable to cost associated with
branch activity, building maintenance influenced by the acquisitions and higher
property taxes.  Furniture and equipment expense increased $471 thousand or 5.2
percent due to higher amortized software and software maintenance.  Intangible
amortization increased $183 thousand or 2.7 percent from the same period a year
ago due to acquisitions.  Other non-interest expenses increased $632 thousand
or 1.7 percent, primarily due to appraisal expense and higher conversion
related acquisition costs.


Income Taxes
     The Corporation's effective tax rate for the first and second quarters of
1999 approximates 34 percent. The effective tax rate for the second quarter of
1998 was impacted by the merger related charge associated with Overton and
approximated 42 percent.


Cash Earnings
     The Corporation has historically paid cash and used the purchase method of
accounting for the majority of its acquisitions, which has resulted in the
creation of intangible assets.  These intangible assets are deducted from
capital in the determination of regulatory capital.  Thus, "cash" or "tangible"
earnings represents regulatory capital generated during the year and can be
viewed as net income excluding intangible amortization, net of tax.  While the
definition of "cash" or "tangible" earnings may vary by company, we believe
this definition is appropriate as it measures the per share growth of
regulatory capital, which impacts the amount available for dividends and
acquisitions.

     Excluding the merger related charge, the Corporation's cash earnings for
the six months and second quarter ending June 30, 1998 were $45.4 million or
$.83 per diluted common share and $23.5 million or $.43 per diluted common
share, respectively.  Cash earnings (excluding the merger related charge)
return on assets and return on equity for the second quarter of 1998 were 1.49
percent and 19.51 percent, respectively.

Balance Sheet
     Average assets of $6.8 billion were flat when compared to the previous
quarter and up 7.8 percent from the second quarter of 1998 with approximately
half of the increase related to the acquisitions.  Total deposits averaged $5.8
billion for the current quarter, flat from the previous quarter and up 8
percent when compared to the second quarter of 1998.  Average loans for the
second quarter of 1999 were $3.9 billion.  This represents an increase in
average loans of 13.3 percent on an annualized basis from the first quarter of
1999 and 14.6 percent from the second quarter of last year.

     At June 30, 1999 period-end loans totaled $4 billion up 17.5 percent on an
annualized basis from the previous quarter and up 15.3 percent from the same
period last year.  Approximately 65 percent of the increase in loans from a
year ago resulted from internally generated growth.

Real Estate Loans
     Real estate loans at June 30, 1999, were $1.9 billion or 48 percent of
period-end loans compared to 45.1 percent a year ago.  Residential permanent
mortgage loans at June 30, 1999, were $671 million compared to $652 million at
March 31, 1999, and $560 million at June 30, 1998.  Real estate loans
classified as "other" are essentially amortizing commercial and industrial
loans with maturities of less than five years secured by real property.  The
majority of all commercial real estate loans are owner occupied or have a major
tenant (National or Regional company).  Historically these type of loans have
resulted in lower risk, provided financial stability and are less susceptible
to economic swings.
     At June 30, 1999, real estate loans 90 days past due (excluding non-
accrual loans) were $2.7 million, compared with $4.1 million at March 31, 1999,
and $2.6 million at June 30, 1998.

Mexico

     At June 30, 1999, the Corporation's cross border outstanding to Mexico,
excluding $16.5 million in loans secured by liquid U.S. assets, totaled $48.4
million or 1.2 percent of total loans down from $50.4 million at March 31, 1999
and $51.4 million at June 30, 1998.  The decrease from last year represents
normal fluctuations in lines of credit used by Mexican banks to finance trade.
At June 30, 1999, $583 thousand of Mexican-related loans were on non-performing
status.

     Non-performing assets totaled $16.2 million at June 30, 1999 down 18
percent from $19.7 million at June 30, 1998 and down 12 percent from $18.4
million at March 31, 1999.  Non-performing assets as a percentage of total loans
and foreclosed assets decreased to .41 percent at June 30, 1999 from .57 percent
one year ago.
     Foreclosed assets consist of property which has been formally repossessed.
Foreclosed assets are valued at the lower of the loan balance or estimated fair
value, less estimated selling costs, at the time of foreclosure.  Write-downs
occurring at foreclosure are charged against the allowance for possible loan
losses.  On an ongoing basis, properties are appraised as required by market
indications and applicable regulations.  Write-downs are provided for subsequent
declines in value.  Expenses related to maintaining foreclosed properties are
included in other non-interest expense.
     The after-tax impact (assuming a 35 percent marginal tax rate) of lost
interest from non-performing assets was $217 thousand for the second quarter of
1999, compared to approximately $297 thousand for the second quarter of 1998 and
$250 thousand for the first quarter of 1999.  For the six months ended June 30,
1999, the after-tax impact (assuming a 35 percent marginal tax rate) was
approximately $467 thousand compared with approximately $573,000 for the
comparable period last year.  Total loans 90 days past due (excluding non-
accrual loans) were $5.6 million at June 30, 1999, compared to $7.0 million at
June 30, 1998, and $7.9 million at March 31, 1999.

Allowance for Possible Loan Losses

     The allowance for possible loan losses was $59 million or 1.48 percent of
period-end loans at June 30, 1999, compared to $51.1 million or 1.48 percent at
June 30, 1998 and $55.9 million or 1.47 percent at March 31, 1999.  The
allowance for possible loan losses as a percentage of non-accrual and
restructured loans was 454 percent at June 30, 1999, compared to 352 percent at
June 30, 1998 and 391 percent at the end of the first quarter of 1999.
     The Corporation recorded a $3 million provision for possible loan losses
during the second quarter of 1999.  This compares to $2.6 million provision for
possible loan losses during the second quarter of 1998 and $3 million for the
first quarter of 1999.  The provision is reflective of the continued growth in
the loan portfolio.  Net charge-offs in the second quarter of 1999 totaled $624
thousand, compared to net charge-offs of $1.2 million and $1.1 million for the
second quarter of 1998 and for the first quarter of 1999, respectively.

Capital and Liquidity
     At June 30, 1999, shareholders' equity was $510 million compared to $483.3
million at June 30, 1998 and $523.8 million at March 31, 1999.  The Corporation
had an unrealized loss on securities available for sale, net of deferred taxes,
of $28.5 million as of June 30, 1999 compared to a $8.8 million unrealized gain
as of June 30, 1998, reflecting a change of $37.3 million.  This decrease in
the market value of securities available for sale is primarily due to an
increase in market interest rates. Currently, under regulatory requirements,
the unrealized gain or loss on securities available for sale is not included in
the calculation of risk-based capital and leverage ratios.  See page seven for
a discussion of the Corporation's regulatory capital ratios.
     During the second quarter of 1999, the board of directors declared and
paid a two for one stock split.  In addition, the Corporation raised its cash
dividend 17 percent in the second quarter of 1999 to $.175 per common share
(post-split) compared to $.15 per common share in the first quarter of 1999 and
second quarter of 1998. This equates to a dividend payout ratio of 38.9 percent
and 33 percent for the second and first quarters of 1999, respectively.  The
dividend payout ratio for the second quarter of 1998 (excluding the merger
related charge) was 38.1 percent.
     Funding sources available at the holding company level include a
$7,500,000 short-term line of credit. There were no borrowings outstanding from
this source at June 30, 1999.
     Asset liquidity is provided by cash and assets which are readily
marketable, pledgeable or which will mature in the near future.  These include
cash, short-term time deposits in banks, securities available for sale,
maturities and cash flow from securities held to maturity, and Federal funds
sold and securities purchased under resale agreements.  Liability liquidity is
provided by access to funding sources, principally core deposits and Federal
funds purchased.  Additional sources of liability liquidity include brokered
deposits and securities sold under agreement to repurchase.  The liquidity
position of the Corporation is continuously monitored and adjustments are made
to the balance between sources and uses of funds as deemed appropriate.

Year 2000
          The Corporation has an extensive program in place to address the
internal and external risks associated with the century date change to the Year
2000.  Currently, the Corporation estimates that the dollar amount to be spent
on incremental costs will be approximately $4.7 million over the three year
period beginning in 1997, funded out of its earnings, with approximately $4.29
million spent through the second quarter of 1999. These costs are being
expensed as incurred.  Additionally, the Corporation is spending about 30
percent of its annual technology budget to facilitate progress on the Year 2000
program.  The cost of compliance and completion dates is based upon
management's best estimates, which were derived utilizing assumptions of future
events, including the continued availability of resources.
     The Corporation has systematically inventoried and assessed the importance
of application software and system hardware and software during the now
completed awareness and assessment phase of its information technology.  The
Corporation has also completed the renovation of mission critical systems and
has implemented 100 percent of the renovated mission critical systems.  The
Corporation has completed the renovation, testing and installation of 100
percent of technology systems in its owned facilities, including vault doors,
elevators, climate control systems, and security systems. The Corporation is
substantially complete with the non-mission critical applications. The
Corporation has commenced, and will continue into 1999, integration testing to
assure that logically related systems can interact and process information
correctly.
     During 1998, the Corporation reviewed the Year 2000 preparedness of its
vendors and suppliers, and recently completed on-site due diligence visits with
key service providers.  The great majority of these suppliers appear to be
making adequate progress.  The Corporation will continue to monitor vendor and
supplier progress and develop contingency plans where necessary and feasible.
The Corporation is testing for key dates in the new century with critical third
party service providers, although it may be necessary to rely on proxy testing
in some cases.  The majority of this work is complete. The Corporation will
make available testing documentation, known as proxy tests, to clients
utilizing certain products and services.  The Corporation also relies on
entities such as the Federal Reserve System, Depository Trust Company,
Participants Trust Company, Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial
Telecommunications (SWIFT), and the Clearing House Interbank Payment Systems
(CHIPS) in its securities processing and banking businesses, as do other
financial services providers in similar businesses.
Although the Corporation is attempting to monitor and validate the efforts of
other parties, it cannot control the success of these efforts. The Corporation
is developing contingency plans where practical to provide alternatives in
situations where a third party furnishing a critical product or service
experiences significant Year 2000 issues. The Corporation is also updating
existing business continuity plans for the date change. This process is well
underway and will continue through the third quarter, 1999, as plans are
reviewed and validated.
     As part of its credit analysis process, the Corporation has developed a
project plan for assessing the Year 2000 readiness of its significant credit
customers.  An initial assessment of Year 2000 readiness has been completed for
the customers who have responded to the Corporation's inquiries about their
progress, which make up the majority of its credit customers and represent most
of its credit exposure.  The Corporation will continue to monitor the progress
of these customers.
     The Financial Management Group's (FMG) mission critical systems, such as
the trust and brokerage accounting and trading systems, are and have been,
included in the Corporation's evaluation and testing of systems.  FMG is also
updating current contingency plans to include possible Year 2000 circumstances.
In addition to the systems aspect, the FMG recognizes that there could be other
types of risks and is in the process of reviewing the managed assets comprising
the investment portfolios of FMG clients.  The review process includes
obtaining public information provided by companies/issuers to regulatory
bodies, such as the Securities and Exchange Commission. Other public
information that may be relied upon for evaluating a company's/issuer's Year
2000 readiness are analysts' reports and/or official statements from
companies/issuers.
     Although the FMG is attempting to review and monitor the efforts of other
parties, it cannot warrant the facts, circumstances, or the outcome of such
efforts.  Where the Corporation does not serve in a fiduciary capacity for a
customer's assets it cannot provide any assurances on factors outside its
control such as the quality of assets, potential

economic uncertainties and other service providers.  The Corporation also does
not accept responsibility for ensuring that its clients' own systems are Year
2000 compliant.  In addition, the Corporation does not guarantee that there
will not be any disruptions on receipt or disbursements of income.  There may
be disruptions that are beyond the control of the Corporation.  An example of
this would be if an issuer/company or its paying agent does not pay income as
scheduled.
     The Corporation's Year 2000 program is regularly reviewed by examiners
from various external agencies such as the Comptroller of the Currency and the
Federal Reserve Bank.
     The Corporation expects to successfully complete its Year 2000 effort as
planned.  However, it is subject to unique risks and uncertainties due to the
interdependencies in business and financial markets, and the numerous
activities and events outside of its control.  Since the Corporation is still
conducting external testing and monitoring of third parties, it is unable to
make assumptions as to the extent of Year 2000 failures that could result, nor
quantify the potential adverse effect that such failures could have on the
Corporation's operations, liquidity, results of operations and financial
condition.  Year 2000 risks will be continually evaluated and contingency plans
revised throughout 1999.



Forward-Looking Statements
     The Corporation may from time to time make forward-looking statements
(within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995)
with respect to earnings per share, credit quality, expected Year 2000
compliance program, corporate objectives and other financial and business
matters.  The Corporation cautions the reader that these forward-looking
statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties,
including economic conditions; actions taken by the Federal Reserve Board;
legislative and regulatory actions and reforms; competition; as well as other
reasons, all of which change over time.  Actual results may differ materially
from forward-looking statements.
