FINANCIAL COMMENTARY
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ACQUISITION OVERVIEW
    Over the last several years the Corporation has made numerous sizeable
acquisitions establishing dominant positions in Missouri and New Mexico,
and significant presences in southern Illinois, western Tennessee,
Oklahoma, Arkansas and northern Texas. In 1993 and through the six months
of 1994 the Corporation completed seven acquisitions in four states
aggregating $2.9 billion in total assets. The Corporation's operations
currently span nine states, with services delivered from over 400 branch
locations and approximately 420 off-premise ATM's. A summary of the
acquisitions consummated in 1993 and 1994 is provided below.

Oklahoma and Arkansas Acquisitions
    On May 26, 1993, the Corporation, through its Oklahoma and Arkansas
subsidiaries, acquired 20 branches of the former Cimarron Federal Savings
Association (Cimarron), in an RTC assisted transaction for $13.1 million
in cash. Assets purchased, consisting primarily of cash and investment
securities, and deposits assumed totaled approximately $430 million. Two
locations, with deposits of approximately $60 million, became branches of
the Corporation's Oklahoma bank, and the other 18 locations, primarily
located in eastern Oklahoma, became branches of the Corporation's
Arkansas thrift subsidiary, Superior Federal Bank (Superior), which is
headquartered in Fort Smith, Arkansas. Superior, with assets of $1.2
billion, is the third largest financial institution in the state,
providing services from 57 locations in two states, 39 of which are
located in central and northwestern Arkansas and 18 locations in eastern
Oklahoma.
    On March 31, 1994, the Corporation acquired Woodland Bancorp, Inc.
(Woodland), a retail banking organization with assets of approximately $65
million, in a pooling transaction resulting in the issuance of .4 million
shares of common stock. Woodland is located in Tulsa, Oklahoma and was merged
into the Corporation's Oklahoma bank with total assets now approximating $1.6
billion with services provided from 19 locations primarily within the Oklahoma
City and Tulsa metropolitan areas.

Texas Acquisitions
    On March 5, 1993, the Corporation, through its subsidiary bank, Sunwest
Bank of El Paso, acquired First City's former bank in El Paso under an
FDIC assisted transaction for $14 million in cash. This bank, with assets
of approximately $340 million, was merged into the Sunwest Bank of El
Paso providing intramarket operating efficiencies. As a result of this
transaction, the Corporation's El Paso bank increased its asset size to
approximately $510 million and has attained a significant market share in
the El Paso metropolitan area.
    On November 30, 1993, the Corporation acquired First Amarillo
Bancorporation, Inc. (Amarillo), in a transaction accounted for as a
pooling of interests. Under terms of the agreement, the Corporation
exchanged .912 shares of its common stock for each share of Amarillo,
resulting in the issuance of approximately 5.9 million shares of common
stock. Amarillo, with assets at June 30, 1994 of approximately $1.0
billion, is located in Amarillo, Texas and has the leading market share
in this north Texas market.
    On May 6, 1994, the Corporation completed the acquisition of Eagle
Management and Trust Company (Eagle), an investment advisory firm located in
Houston. Eagle, with $1.4 billion in trust assets, will not have a material
impact on near-term financial results.
    On May 19, 1994, the Corporation announced a definitive agreement to
acquire Dalhart Bancshares, Inc. (Dalhart), in a transaction involving
the issuance of approximately .7 million shares of Boatmen's common stock
for all of the shares of Dalhart. Dalhart, with assets of approximately
$140 million, is located in north Texas, and will be merged with the
Corporation's Amarillo subsidiary, further enhancing the Corporation's
leading market share in this north Texas market. This acquisition, which
is subject to approval by Dalhart shareholders and regulatory agencies,
is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of this year.

Missouri Acquisition
    On April 23, 1993, the Corporation, through its Kansas City bank,
acquired Missouri Bridge Bank, N.A., the former Metro North State Bank
and Merchants Bank under an assisted transaction with the FDIC. Boatmen's
First National Bank of Kansas City acquired $1.1 billion of certain
assets and assumed the same amount of deposit liabilities for a premium
of $15.8 million. As a result of this transaction, the Corporation
increased its assets in the Kansas City metropolitan area to
$3.9 billion, further solidifying its leading position in this market.
Assets purchased included loans of approximately $960 million and other
assets totaling $180 million, consisting primarily of investment
securities, cash and short-term investments. The

FINANCIAL COMMENTARY
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corporation retained eight of the bank's 15 branches and purchased the premises
and equipment at fair market value.
    As part of the transaction, the Corporation entered into a five-year
loss-sharing arrangement with the FDIC with respect to approximately $950
million in multi-family residential, commercial real estate, construction
and commercial and industrial loans. For a more complete description of
the loss-sharing arrangement, refer to the Segregated Assets section of
this report.

Kansas Acquisition
    On August 2, 1993, the Corporation consummated the acquisition of FCB
Bancshares, Inc., a one-bank holding company located in Overland Park,
Kansas with assets of approximately $185 million, for $25 million in
cash. This acquisition represents the Corporation's initial entry into
Kansas and is a natural extension of the Corporation's Kansas City
franchise.

Tennessee Acquisition
    On May 6, 1994, the Corporation announced an agreement to acquire
National Mortgage Company (National Mortgage), headquartered in Memphis,
Tennessee, in a transaction to be accounted for as a pooling of
interests. Under terms of the agreement, the Corporation will exchange
not more than 5.0 million shares of its common stock for all of the stock
of National Mortgage. At the date of announcement, the transaction had a
value of approximately $153 million, which represented 1.2% of
NationalMortgage's mortgage servicing portfolio. National Mortgage is a
privately-owned, full-service mortgage banking company which originates
home loans through 10 company-operated offices as well as through a
network of over 300 correspondents located in the Southern and Midwestern
United States, and presently services mortgage loans totaling
approximately $13.5 billion. When combined with the

Corporation's existing servicing portfolio, Boatmen's will rank among the
30 largest mortgage servicers in the country. The acquisition, which is subject
to approval by National Mortgage shareholders and regulatory agencies, is
expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of this year.
    A summary of the Corporation's asset distribution by state is provided in
Table 2.

EARNINGS OVERVIEW
    Net income for the second quarter of 1994 increased to $88.0 million, up
10.4% from the same period of last year and net income per share was
$.84, an increase of 9.1%. For the six months, net income increased 9.2%
to $173.6 million, and net income per share was $1.66 compared to $1.54
per share a year ago, an increase of 7.8%. The earnings growth was
attributable to higher net interest income and noninterest income, as
well as a lower provision for loan losses, which was offset in part by
higher noninterest expense. Five purchase acquisitions were consummated
during the period from March 1, 1993, through June 30, 1994; therefore,
the results of operations of these companies are included in the
consolidated financial statements only subsequent to the dates of
acquisition and must be considered when reviewing the trended financial
information. In addition, the results of operations of Woodland, which
qualified as a pooling of interests, are not included in the consolidated
financial statements prior to January l, 1994, due to the immaterial
effect on the Corporation's financial results.
    For the second quarter, the return on average assets was 1.28% and the
return on equity was 16.30%, compared to 1.29% and 16.26%, respectively,
for the same period last year. For the six months, the return on average
assets was 1.29% and the return on equity was 16.11%, compared to 1.31%
and 16.50%, respectively, in 1993. The returns in 1993 reflect a one-time
$6.0 million gain in the first quarter of 1993 from an income tax accounting
change at the Corporation's Amarillo subsidiary, which was acquired in the
fourth quarter of 1993. Excluding the accounting change, the year-to-date
return on assets and return on equity in 1993 would have been 1.26% and 15.90%,
respectively.
    Net interest income, on a fully-taxable equivalent basis, increased 4.5%
over the second quarter of 1993 and 5.1% for the six months principally
due to an increase in average earning assets, which was partially offset
by a decrease in the net interest margin. The net interest margin was
4.33% for both the second quarter and six months of 1994, a decline of
approximately 25 basis points from the same periods last year.
    Noninterest income increased 4.9% over the second quarter of 1993 and
10.8% for the six months. Excluding acquisitions, year-to-date
noninterest income increased 5.7% as most categories of noninterest
income increased from the prior year level.
    Noninterest expense was up 5.0% from the second quarter of last year and
8.7% for the six months. Excluding purchase acquisitions, noninterest
expense increased 3.5% for the quarter and 5.0% for the six months.
    The provision for loan losses for the second quarter totaled $7.4
million, representing a decrease of 53.7% from the second quarter of last
year, but was up $1.7 million or 30.6% from the first quarter. For the
six months, the provision for loan losses totaled $13.0 million, a
decrease of 63.1%

from the same period of last year. The lower loan loss provision reflected
continued improvement in asset quality as evidenced by lower levels of actual
loan losses and further declines in nonperforming and criticized loans. For the
six months, net loan charge-offs totaled $11.1 million, a decrease of $3.4
million or 23.4% from the same period last year. Net charge-offs in the second
quarter totaled $8.7 million and included $6.0 million pertaining to one
credit. Net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans dropped to .15%
compared to .21% for the six months of last year and .24% for all of 1993.
    Presented in Table 3 is an income statement analysis expressed on a per
share basis for the three month and six month periods ended June 30,
1994, compared to the same periods last year and the three months ended
March 31, 1994. A more detailed discussion and analysis of the major
factors impacting the comparability between periods is provided
throughout this report.

NET INTEREST INCOME
    Measured on a fully-taxable equivalent basis, net interest income
increased 4.5% over the second quarter of 1993 and 5.1% for the six
months. These increases were primarily due to growth in average earning
assets which was partially offset by a lower net interest margin. Average
earning assets increased 11.0% over the second quarter of last year and
11.1% for the six months primarily due to increased internal loan
production and expansion of the securities portfolio, supplemented by
growth through acquisitions.
    Loans, the highest yielding earning asset, increased 11.1% over the second
quarter of 1993 and 12.5% for the six months. Loans represented 63.2% of
average earning assets for the six months of 1994, compared to 62.4% for
the same period last year. Held to maturity and available for sale
securities increased 14.6% for the six months, representing 35.4% of
average earning assets, up from 34.3% for the same period last year. This
increase reflects redeployment of short-term money market instruments and
funds received from regulatory assisted transactions to the securities
portfolio, coupled with a planned expansion of the portfolio at the
Corporation's Amarillo subsidiary which was acquired in the fourth quarter
of 1993.
    After several periods of steady improvement, the Corporation experienced
an anticipated contraction in the net interest margin over the second half
of 1993 which continued into the first quarter of 1994. The margin
stabilized in the second quarter at 4.33%, basically unchanged from the
first quarter, but was down 27 basis points from the second quarter of
last year when the margin was 4.60%. A similar decline also occurred for
the six-month period, primarily due to a reduction in the yield earned on
mortgage-related assets. The anticipated decline in yields on these assets
was accelerated by historically high levels of prepayment activity and
subsequent reinvestment into securities with lower yields.

- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
</TABLE>

Prepayments slowed substantially in the second quarter and, based on the
current interest rate environment, the Corporation anticipates stability in the
net interest margin in the near term. The average yield on earning assets
for the six months of 1994 declined 36 basis points from the same period
last year compared to a 27 basis point decline in the rate paid on
deposits. During this same period, lending spreads narrowed as the surface
spread between the prime rate and Federal funds dropped from 300 basis
points to 290 basis points.
    The impact of the narrower spreads was offset to some extent by an
increased contribution from the interest rate swap portfolio. An integral
component of the Corporation's overall asset/liability management
strategies is the management of interest rate risk through the prudent use
of interest rate swaps. Interest rate swaps are an effective mechanism to
hedge cash market instruments due to the inherent advantages related to
flexibility in product structure and size, liquidity and capital. The swap
portfolio is currently being used to alter the interest rate sensitivity
of a portion of the Corporation's prime-based loan portfolio and to modify
the interest rate sensitivity of subordinated debt. In 1994, the
Corporation added new swap transactions with a notional amount of $1.0
billion and $550 million of swaps matured, such that at June 30, 1994,
interest rate swaps totaled $2.2 billion. The swap portfolio increased net
interest income by approximately $13.9 million for the six months of 1994,
adding 12 basis points to the net interest margin, compared to $9.6
million or 9 basis points in the same period last year. The average rate
received at June 30,1994 was 5.43% compared to an average rate paid of
4.64%, and the average remaining maturity of the total portfolio was less
than two years. The estimated fair value of the swap portfolio was $(109)
million at June 30, 1994, based on discounted cash flow models. Given that
these swaps are valued using interest rates at quarter end, the estimated
fair value is not necessarily indicative of the future net interest
potential of the portfolio over its remaining life. Approximately 90% of
the portfolio is comprised of indexed amortizing swaps; accordingly, the
maturity distribution could modestly lengthen if interest rates were to
increase significantly from current levels. Any future utilization of off-
balance sheet financial instruments will be determined based upon the
Corporation's overall interest rate sensitivity position and
asset/liability management strategies, which are designed to limit
interest rate risk exposure to no more than 5% of projected annual net
income.
    While the Corporation is primarily an end-user of derivative instruments,
it does serve in a limited capacity as an intermediary to meet the
financial needs of its customers. The notional value of the customer swap
portfolio at June 30,1994 totaled approximately $300 million. Interest
rate risk associated with maintaining this portfolio is controlled by
entering into offsetting positions with third parties.

FINANCIAL COMMENTARY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NONINTEREST INCOME
    Noninterest income increased 4.9% over the second quarter of 1993 and
10.8% for the six months, primarily due to growth in trust fees, service
charge income, and credit card fees which was partially offset by a
decline in mortgage banking revenues. Excluding the effect of
acquisitions, noninterest income increased 5.7% over the six months of
last year. Recent strategic initiatives have emphasized the expansion of
fee-based services as a means to stabilize the earnings stream and reduce
the Corporation's exposure to interest rate and credit risk. As such, the
Corporation has focused on increasing noninterest revenues, principally
through expansion of its trust and retail lines of business. Noninterest
income as a percentage of operating revenues was 33.2% for the six months
of 1994, compared to 32.1% for the same period of 1993.
    Trust fees increased 1.9% over the second quarter of 1993 and 6.7% for
the six months primarily due to new business volume within the personal
and pension/institutional lines. Trust fees were down slightly from the
first quarter of 1994 as new business volume was more than offset by
narrower spreads on securities lending activity and declines in market
value of trust assets on which some fees are based. Trust assets under
management totaled $34.2 billion at June 30, 1994, compared to $34.3
billion at June 30, 1993 and $34.1 billion at December 31, 1993. Trust
assets under management at June 30, 1994, include the second quarter
acquisition of Eagle Management and Trust Company, which was partially
offset by the impact of declining stock market values.

    Service charge income increased 7.8% over the second quarter of 1993 and
11.0% for the six months. These increases reflect growth through recent
purchase acquisitions, increased penetration of the retail market and
higher fees on corporate customer accounts. Excluding acquisitions,
service charge income increased 5.6% over the second quarter of 1993 and
7.3% for the six months. Investment banking profits and fees decreased
1.1% from the second quarter of 1993 and 3.9% for the six months as
current financial market conditions have had a negative impact on foreign
exchange, bond trading and retail brokerage business.
    Credit card income totaled $15.9 million in the second quarter of 1994
and $30.9 million for the six months, increases of 19.7% and 24.3%,
respectively, over the prior year periods. Most of this increase reflects
growth in transaction volume of merchant business, which is also
reflected in the increase in credit card expense and is in large measure
a function of retail sales. Income from mortgage banking operations
totaled $1.3 million for the second quarter of 1994 and $4.2 million for
the six months, decreases of 65.8% and 38.2%, respectively, from the
prior year periods, reflecting the impact of rising interest rates which
decreased market gains on mortgage loans sold as well as mortgage loan
originations and refinancings.
    For the six months of 1994, securities gains of $3.3 million were
recognized from the sale of approximately $53.5 million of available for
sale securities, most of which occurred in the first quarter. Other
noninterest income increased $2.5 million or 11.6% over the second
quarter of 1993 and $7.2 million or 18.5% for the six months. Other
noninterest income in 1994 includes segregated asset income totaling $6.7
million.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE
    Noninterest expense increased 5.0% from the second quarter of 1993 and
8.7% for the six months. Excluding the effect of acquisitions, noninterest
expense increased 3.5% from the second quarter of 1993 and 5.0% for the
six months, due primarily to increased staff expense, higher depreciation
expense on equipment enhancements and increased credit card expense. The
efficiency ratio was 62.3% for the six months of 1994, compared to 61.3%
for the same period of last year, but in the most recent quarter improved
to 61.9%. The year-to-year increase reflects the impact of acquisitions
and expansion in the retail line of business, coupled with lower growth in
net interest income.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

equivalent employees (FTE's) increased from 14,213 at
June 30, 1993 to 14,485 at June 30, 1994, principally due to acquisitions.
Excluding the effect of acquisitions, staff expense increased 5.4% for the
second quarter of 1994 and 6.3% for the six months, reflecting a planned
expansion of the retail sales force, normal merit adjustments and
increased costs of incentive and other employee benefit programs. While
additional FTE's were added as a result of the retail expansion,
compensation expense for a large portion of these positions bears a direct
relationship to revenue volume.
    Equipment expense increased 11.9% over the second quarter of 1993 and
11.3% for the six months, primarily due to the acquisitions and higher
depreciation expense associated with investments in capital expenditures
for upgraded computer systems and software mainly to support trust and
retail business expansion.
    Foreclosed property costs reflected gains on sales of foreclosed property
of $4.8 million and $7.6 million for the six months of 1994 and 1993,
respectively; which more than offset operating expenses and writedowns to
other parcels of foreclosed property. Much of the gains during both
periods were recognized at the Corporation's New

Mexico subsidiary.
    Goodwill and core deposit premium amortization totaled $8.3 million for
the second quarter of 1994 and $16.6 million for the six months, increases
of 12.2% and 33.9%, respectively, over the prior year periods, reflective
of the aforementioned purchase acquisitions consummated subsequent to
March 1, 1993.
    A summary of noninterest income and expense categories excluding the
impact of purchase acquisitions is provided in Table 6.

TAXES
    The Corporation's effective tax rate rose to 34.4% for the six months of
1994, compared to 31.1% for the same period of last year. The effective
tax rate in 1993 was unusually low due to a one-time, $6.0 million reduction in
income tax expense from adoption of SFAS 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" at
the Corporation's Amarillo, Texas subsidiary, which was acquired in November
1993. On a prospective basis, the effective tax rate should continue to
approximate the statutory rate, adjusted for normal operating items such as
tax-exempt interest, goodwill amortization and other nondeductible expenses.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES
    The provision for loan losses totaled $7.4 million in the second quarter
of 1994, a decrease of 53.7% from the second quarter of last year when the
provision totaled $15.9 million, but increased $1.7 million or 30.6% from
the first quarter. For the six months, the provision for loan losses
totaled $13.0 million, a decline of $22.3 million or 63.1% from the same
period last year. These declines reflect continued improvement in asset
quality as evidenced by lower levels of actual loan losses, further
declines in nonperforming loans and a continued downward trend in
criticized loans identified through the Corporation's internal risk rating
system. At June 30, 1994, the reserve for loan losses represented 240% of
nonperforming loans compared to 195% at December 31, 1993, and 173% at June 30,
1993. The reserve for loan losses as a percentage of net loans was 2.19%
compared to 2.32% at June 30, 1993, and 2.30% at year-end 1993. Consistent with
the decrease in nonperforming and criticized loans, year-to-date net loan
charge-offs declined to $11.1 million, a decrease of $3.4 million or 23.4% from
the same period of 1993. Net charge-offs in the second quarter of 1994 totaled
$8.7 million, and included $6.0 million pertaining to one credit. Annualized
net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans dropped to .15% compared to
.21% for the same period of last year and .24% for all of 1993.

NONPERFORMING ASSETS
    Nonperforming assets, which include nonperforming loans and foreclosed
property, declined $79.6 million or 24.2% from June 30, 1993, and $35.6
million or 12.5% from year-end 1993. As a percent of total loans and foreclosed
property, nonperforming assets declined to 1.58% compared to 2.28% at June 30,
1993, and 1.90% at December 31, 1993. The decline in nonperforming asset levels
over the last several quarterly periods reflects a stronger economy and the
effectiveness of the Corporation's comprehensive loan administration and
workout procedures which has slowed the inflow of new problem loans. As a
percentage of total assets, nonperforming assets fell below the 1.0% level to
.91%. Nonperforming loans at June 30, 1994, declined to $143.4 million or .91%
of total loans, the lowest level in several years, compared to 1.17% at
December 31, 1993, and 1.33% at June 30, 1993. Table 11 summarizes the
nonperforming assets by major banking unit/geographic location and illustrates
the broad-based improvement achieved.
    As part of management's overall portfolio analysis, ongoing credit
quality reviews are performed to evaluate risk inherent in the portfolio
and potential risk that may develop in the future. A critical element in
assessing portfolio risk is the level of criticized loans. The
Corporation's internal risk rating system designates specific credits as
criticized loans, which include all nonperforming loans and other loans
which contain features presenting more than the normal risk of
collectibility. Criticized and classified assets from regulatory
examinations are an integral component of the risk rating system. As
displayed in Table 10, criticized loans totaled $649.5 million or 4.12%
of loans at June 30, 1994, a decline of over $150 million from June 30,
1993, when criticized loans were 5.60% of loans. Management carefully
analyzes changes and trends in both nonperforming and criticized loans in
assessing the risk characteris-

tics of the loan portfolio. Given the
current risk characteristics of the loan portfolio, the Corporation does
not expect any significant change in criticized loans in the near term.
    In May 1993, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 114 (SFAS No. 114), "Accounting by
Creditors for Impairment of a Loan." This statement will require that
certain impaired loans be measured based on either the present value of
expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective rate, the
market price of the loan, or fair value of the underlying collateral if
the loan is collateral dependent. Adoption of this pronouncement is
required in 1995 and, at present, is not

expected to have a material effect on the Corporation's reported financial
results.

SEGREGATED ASSETS
    As part of the regulatory-assisted acquisition of Missouri Bridge Bank,
N.A. on April 23, 1993, the Corporation entered into a five-year loss-
sharing arrangement with the FDIC with respect to approximately $950
million in multi-family residential, commercial real estate, construction,
and commercial and industrial loans. During the five-year period, the FDIC will
reimburse the Corporation for 80 percent of the first $92.0 million of net
charge-offs on these loans, after which the FDIC will increase its
reimbursement coverage to 95 percent of additional charge-offs. During this
period and for two years thereafter, the Corporation is obligated to pay the
FDIC 80 percent of all recoveries on charged off loans.
    The Corporation has designated certain loans covered under the loss-
sharing arrangement which possess more than the normal risk of collectibility
as segregated assets. At June 30, 1994, segregated assets, which are classified
as other assets for

reporting purposes, totaled $211.6 million, net of a $17.5 million credit
valuation allowance, compared to $257.6 million at June 30, 1993. At June 30,
1994, segregated assets consisted primarily of $49.5 million of commercial
loans, $26.9 million of industrial revenue bond loans and $144.9 million of
commercial real estate-related loans. All other loans covered under the
loss-sharing arrangement are included in the loan portfolio and totaled $364.1
million at June 30, 1994, compared to $636.0 million at June 30, 1993. The
decline from June 30, 1993 was primarily due to scheduled paydowns and
maturities. Net charge-offs of $.8 million, representing the Corporation's
share of losses on the segregated asset pool, were recognized in the six months
of 1994. The valuation allowance represents the Corporation's share of
estimated losses upon ultimate liquidation of the portfolio. The Corporation's

primary purpose in managing a portfolio of this nature is to provide ongoing
collection and control activities on behalf of the FDIC. Accordingly, these
assets do not represent loans made in the ordinary course of business and, due
to the underlying nature of this liquidating asset pool, are excluded from the
Corporation's nonperforming asset statistics. At June 30, 1994, $201.4 million
of segregated assets were accorded classification treatment consistent with
nonaccrual reporting, $7.8 million represented foreclosed property, and the
balance of $19.9 million was past due 90 days or more. The Corporation's
operating results and cash flow position are not expected to be materially
affected by the ongoing collection activities associated with managing the
loans subject to the loss-sharing arrangement. Segregated assets income totaled
$6.7 million for the six months of 1994.
    A summary of activity regarding segregated assets is provided in Table 12.

LOAN PORTFOLIO
    The majority of the Corporation's loans are made within its natural trade
territory, and the portfolio is highly diversified. There are no concentrations
of credit to any borrower or industry in excess of 5% of total loans, and the
portfolio is well balanced between wholesale and consumer lending.
    At June 30, 1994, loans totaled $15.7 billion, an increase of 10.5% over
the same period of last year. Based on average balances, loans increased
11.1% for the quarter and 12.5% for the six months, primarily due to
internal loan growth within the consumer and middle-market commercial
portfolios which was supplemented by growth through acquisition. Excluding
acquisitions, loans increased 9.8% from June 30, 1993, and were led by a
26.1% increase in consumer loans coupled with an increase of 5.7% in
commercial loans. Consumer loan growth stepped up over the second half of
last year, largely the result of increased retail penetration of consumer
products, primarily auto loans and credit cards. The increase in
commercial loans was primarily due to middle-market loan growth.
    The portfolio mix has undergone a favorable shift in that business
development efforts have focused on expanding the middle-market commercial
and consumer sec-

tors, which has been complemented by acquisitions of retail-oriented
institutions. At June 30, 1994, middle-market commercial and consumer loans
represented approximately 49.1% of the loan portfolio compared to 46.4% at June
30, 1993. Commercial real estate and real estate construction loans represented
20.5% of total loans at June 30, 1994, compared to 22.2% at June 30, 1993. The
Corporation closely monitors the composition and quality of the real estate
portfolio through established credit review procedures to ensure that
significant credit concentrations do not exist within this portfolio. The
portfolio is geographically dispersed, primarily in areas where the Corporation
has a direct banking presence, and is widely diversified between residential
construction, office and retail properties, and land acquisition and
development loans.
    The Corporation has limited foreign loan exposure and its portfolio of
highly leveraged transaction loans (HLT's) is minimal, at .4% of total
loans at June 30, 1994.
    Table 13 displays the components of the loan portfolio under standard
financial reporting definitions. Management also reviews the
diversification of the portfolio using internally developed standards and
definitions as summarized in Table 14.

FINANCIAL COMMENTARY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FINANCIAL POSITION
AND LIQUIDITY
    The basic financial structure of the Corporation's average and period-end
balance sheet changed only moderately from the fourth quarter and second
quarter of last year primarily due to higher levels of purchased funds.
At June 30, 1994, assets totaled $27.6 billion compared to $25.5 billion
at June 30, 1993, and $26.7 billion at December 31, 1993. The increase in
assets from June 30, 1993 was primarily due to internal loan growth and
an expansion of the securities portfolio.
    Liquidity represents the availability of funding to meet the obligations
to depositors, borrowers, and creditors at a reasonable cost without
adverse consequences. Accordingly, the Corporation's liquidity position
is influenced by its funding base and asset mix. Core deposits, which
consist of investable checking account deposits and certain interest-
bearing accounts, represent the Corporation's largest and most important
funding source, as these deposits represent a more stable, lower cost
source of funds.
    The core deposit base is supplemented by the Corporation's wholesale and
correspondent banking activities which provide a natural access to short-
term purchased funds, such as negotiable certificates of deposit, bank
notes and overnight surplus funds. These funds are acquired when needed,
principally from existing customers within the Corporation's natural
trade territory and through access to national money markets.
    Average core deposits totaled $18.0 billion for the second quarter of
1994, an increase of $.4 billion or 2.5% from the same period last year.
Average earning asset growth during this period exceeded core deposit
growth by approximately $2.0 billion; accordingly, the additional earning
asset volume has been funded by higher levels of purchased funds. Average
core deposits supported 73.4% of earning assets for the second quarter of
1994, compared to 79.5% during the same period last year. Core deposit
growth in recent periods has been impacted to some extent by a shift in
customer preference to other investment alternatives. Purchased funds,
which increased approximately $1.9 billion from the prior year, supported
19.5% of average earn-

    commercial real estate loans covered by the FDIC loss-sharing agreement

    December 31, 1993, and June 30, 1993, respectively.

ing assets compared to 13.0% for the second quarter of last year. Purchased
funds at June 30, 1994, included $600 million of short-term bank notes which
were issued during the second quarter of this year. The Corporation expects
earning asset growth will continue to exceed core deposit growth in the near
term resulting in a continued use of bank notes or other purchased funds at or
slightly above the present levels.
    The Corporation also manages its liquidity position by maintaining
adequate levels of liquid assets such as money market investments and
available for sale securities. At June 30, 1994, the available for sale
portfolio totaled $4.4 billion compared to $5.2 billion at December 31,
1993. These securities, comprised mainly of adjustable-rate mortgage-
backed securities, U.S. Treasury securities, pass-through mortgage-backed
securities, and short-term CMO's, may be sold to meet liquidity needs or
in response to significant changes in interest rates or prepayment risks.
At June 30, 1994, net unrealized depreciation in the available for sale
portfolio was approximately $58 million compared to net unrealized
appreciation of $69 million at December 31, 1993. The decline in market
value from year-end was primarily due to the recent increase in market
rates.
    Maintaining favorable debt ratings is also critical to liquidity because
it can affect the availability and cost of funds to the Corporation. The
Parent Company's ability to access the capital markets on a cost-
effective basis is reflected by its debt ratings, summarized on page 16.
There were no commitments for capital expenditures at June 30, 1994,
which would materially impact the Corporation's liquidity position.

CAPITAL STRUCTURE
    The Corporation continues to rank among the most strongly capitalized bank
holding companies in the country. This strong capital position and overall
financial strength provide a good base for future expansion when profitable
investment opportunities arise. The cornerstone of the Corporation's capital
structure is its common equity, totaling $2.2 billion or approximately 81% of
total capitalization at June 30, 1994, an increase of 9.3% from June 30, 1993.
The equity to asset ratio was 7.88% at June 30, 1994, compared to 7.80% at June
30, 1993, and 8.00% at December 31, 1993. The equity base has been strengthened
in recent years through

earnings retention, the conversion of debt to equity and the issuance of common
stock through various employee and stockholder investment plans. On April
14, 1994, the Corporation filed a shelf registration statement with the
Securities and Exchange Commission providing for the issuance of up to
$500 million of debt, preferred stock or common stock. This represents the
only outstanding shelf filing and there are no plans to issue securities
pursuant to this filing in the near term. In the first quarter of 1993,
the Corporation issued $100 million of 6.75% subordinated notes due March
15, 2003, under the final tranche of a $200 million debt registration. The
Corporation also exercised its option to prepay approximately $14 million
of convertible subordinated debt at its Iowa subsidiary during the first
quarter of last year, resulting in the issuance of approximately 1.0
million shares of common stock as noteholders elected to convert debt to
equity prior to the prepayment date.
    An important measure of capital adequacy of a banking institution is its
risk-based capital ratios, which represent the primary capital standard
for regulatory purposes. The Corporation's risk-based capital ratios of
10.53% for Tier I and 14.07% for total capital substantially exceed the
regulatory required minimums. An additional measure of capital, referred
to as the Tier I leverage ratio, places a constraint on the degree to
which a banking institution can leverage its equity capital base. At June
30, 1994, the Corporation's Tier I leverage ratio was 7.14%, well in
excess of the required minimums.
    The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991
(FDICIA), established rating categories for all FDIC-insured institutions
ranging from "well capitalized" to "critically undercapitalized." The
ratings combine capital measures in addition to the level of regulatory
supervision received by an individual financial institution. At June 30,
1994, all of the Corporation's banking subsidiaries met the capital
criteria required by the well capitalized definition which require a Tier
I leverage ratio of 5%, a Tier I capital ratio of 6% and a total capital
ratio of 10%. FDICIA mandated other changes to risk-based capital rules
that may become effective in 1994, notably the requirement to incorporate
interest rate risk into the risk-based capital computation. As proposed,
this change is not expected to have a material effect on the Corporation's
capital requirements. The Federal Reserve Board and other regulatory
agencies are proposing

other amendments to existing risk-based capital
guidelines to include the unrealized appreciation/depreciation on
available for sale securities in Tier I capital. The Corporation believes
it would be more appropriate to exclude the unrealized
appreciation/depreciation from Tier I as inclusion could introduce
volatility in capital levels which is inconsistent with the managerial
concept of longer-term capital planning.
