ACQUISITION OVERVIEW
     Over the last several years the Corporation has made numerous
acquisitions establishing significant market positions in Missouri,
Arkansas and New Mexico, and significant presences in southern
Illinois, western Tennessee, Oklahoma and northern Texas. The
acquisition program has three objectives: geographic diversification,
growth in retail market share, and additional earnings generation
capacity. The Corporation's geographic profile provides significant
credit and economic risk diversification in that the Corporation is not
significantly dependent on any major market. All of the Corporation's
major markets are currently experiencing favorable economic conditions.
In 1994 and through the six months of 1995, the Corporation completed
eight acquisitions in five states aggregating $4.3 billion in total
assets. The Corporation's operations currently span nine states, with
services delivered from over 500 branch locations and approximately 540
off-premise ATM's. A summary of the acquisitions consummated in 1994
and 1995 follows.

EARNINGS OVERVIEW
     Net income for the second quarter of 1995 increased to $108.7
million, up 5.6% from the same period of last year, and net income per
share was $.84, an increase of 5.0%. For the six months, net income
before the impact of nonrecurring merger expenses, increased 6.4% to
$214.5 million, and net income per share was $1.67 compared to $1.57 a
year ago. The earnings growth reflected higher net interest income and
noninterest income, offset in part by a higher provision for loan
losses and higher noninterest expense. Net income in 1995 was reduced
by after-tax merger expenses totaling $26.0 million or $.16 per share.
Including merger expenses, net income for the six months of 1995 was
$194.5 million or $1.51 per share. Previously reported financial
statements of prior periods have been restated to reflect the pooling-
of-interests acquisitions which were completed in the first half of
1995. Purchase acquisitions completed during the period had no material
impact on results of

operations.
     For the second quarter, the return on average assets was 1.33%
and the return on equity was 15.85%, compared to 1.31% and 16.45%,
respectively for the same period last year. For the six months, the
return on average assets before nonrecurring merger expenses was 1.32%
and the return on equity was 15.98%, compared to 1.29% and 16.15%,
respectively, in 1994. Including merger expenses, the return on assets
for the six months of 1995 was 1.20% and the return on equity was
14.48%.
     Net interest income, on a fully-taxable equivalent basis,
increased .2% over the second quarter of 1994 and 1.2% for the six
months due to moderate average earning asset growth, which was
partially offset by the impact of a lower net interest margin. The net
interest margin was 4.22% for the second quarter of 1995 and 4.25% for
the six months, decreases of 18 and 15 basis points from the prior year
periods, respectively.
     Noninterest income increased 7.9% over the second quarter of 1994
and 6.5% for the six months primarily due to growth in trust fees,
mortgage banking revenues and credit card income.
     Noninterest expense, excluding nonrecurring merger expenses,
increased 1.6% from the second quarter of 1994 and was held to an
increase of .8% for the six months. These increases are reflective of
ongoing initiatives to control operating costs. Including nonrecurring
merger expenses, noninterest expense for the six months was $604.7
million.
     The provision for loan losses for the second quarter of 1995 was
$9.2 million, up from $7.7 million for the same period of last year.
For the six months, the provision for loan losses totaled $18.9
million, compared to $13.6 million in 1994. For the six months, net
loan charge-offs were $12.6 million, compared to $10.9 million in 1994,
and annualized net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans were
 .13% in both years.
     Presented in Table 5 is an income statement analysis expressed on
a per share basis for the quarter ended June 30, 1995, compared to the
same period last year and the three months ended December 31, 1994. A

</TABLE>

     Net interest income, on a fully-taxable equivalent basis,
increased .2% over the second quarter of 1994 and 1.2% for the six
months as growth in average earning assets more than offset an
anticipated contraction in the net interest margin.
     Average earning assets increased 4.3% over the second quarter and
4.7% for the six months primarily due to strong loan growth. Loans, the
highest yielding earning asset, increased 11.0% over the second quarter
of 1994 and 10.9% for the six months. Loans represented 66.0% of
average earning assets for the six months of 1995 compared to 62.2% for
the same period last year. Held to maturity and available for sale
securities decreased 7.6% for the six months, and represented 32.0% of
average earning assets, down from 36.2% for the six months of 1994. The
decline in the securities portfolio reflects redeployment of proceeds
from maturing securities to the loan portfolio.
     The net interest margin for the second quarter of 1995 was 4.22%
compared to 4.40% for the same period last year. A

                                    - 11 -

similar decline occurred for the six-month period, primarily due to rising
interest rates which restricted the net interest margin to some extent
due to the Corporation's modest liability sensitive position. The average
yield on earning assets for the six months of 1995 increased 90 basis
points from the same period last year; however, during this same period
the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities increased 124
basis points as the average rate paid on interest-bearing deposits
increased 98 basis points. The higher funding costs in 1995 also
reflect an increased use of purchased funds as loan growth exceeded
deposit growth. Purchased funds, which represented the principal
funding source for the loan growth, increased $1.0 billion or 20.7%.
This increase reflects the issuance of medium-term bank notes by
several of the Corporation's banking subsidiaries, which pay interest
on a floating rate basis.
     Interest rate risk is the extent to which net interest income may
be affected by changes in market driven interest rates, and the
Corporation assumes varying degrees of interest rate risk as part of
its normal banking operations. It is the role of the asset/liability
management committee to manage and control the level of interest rate
risk contained in the balance sheet as well as off-balance sheet
financial instruments. The Corporation's interest rate risk policy is
to maintain a stable level of net interest income while also enhancing
earnings potential through limited risk positioning based on the
forecast of future interest rates. Interest rate risk exposure
(earnings at risk exposure) is currently limited, by policy, to 5% of
projected annual net income. Adherence to these risk limits is
controlled and monitored through simulation modeling techniques that
consider the impact that alternative interest rate scenarios will have
on the Corporation's financial results. In its simulations, the
Corporation estimates the impact on net interest income and net income
resulting from various changes in market interest rates. Utilization of
the simulation modeling results enables management to develop
strategies to control the Corporation's overall interest rate risk
exposure and to monitor specific risks associated with on-balance sheet
financial instruments, along with interest rate swaps. The assumptions
used in the model are intentionally designed to be conservative in that
the balance sheet is held static for the entire 12 month simulation
horizon and, accordingly, the model is not intended to represent an
income forecast. Based on the current interest rate sensitivity
position, the simulation model indicates that the earnings at risk
exposure over the next 12 months is less than 2%, assuming a gradual
150 basis point increase in interest rates, and no active management of
the balance sheet components.
     An effective asset/liability management function is required to
address the interest rate risk inherent in the Corporation's core
banking activities. If no other action is taken, matching of the core
banking activities, which includes lending and deposit activities,
results in an asset-sensitive position. Accordingly, to prudently
manage the overall interest rate sensitivity position, the Corporation
utilizes a combination of on- and off-balance sheet financial
instruments to balance the interest rate sensitivity of the core
balance sheet. Interest rate swaps are an effective mechanism to manage
this interest rate risk due to the inherent advantages related to
flexibility in product structure, size, liquidity, capital and market
timing. The contribution of the swap portfolio over time will expand or
contract with movements in market rates; however, this risk cannot be
viewed in isolation and is controlled and monitored within the overall
context of the aforementioned asset/liability management policies.
     In 1995, $850 million of new swaps were added and $95 million
matured such that at June 30, 1995, interest rate swaps totaled $3.0
billion. The most recent swaps were executed as a means to convert a
portion of the Corporation's variable rate bank notes to fixed rate
instruments to extend the repricing sensitivity of these instruments.
Interest rate swaps executed in prior years were undertaken to modify
the interest rate sensitivity of subordinated debt as well as alter the
interest rate sensitivity of the Corporation's prime-based loan
portfolio. The Corporation's prime-based loan portfolio (approximately
$6.0 billion) is the primary cause of the large asset sensitivity
position of the core banking activity as it is primarily funded by
deposit liabilities that are less sensitive to movements in market
interest rates. As a means to alter the interest rate sensitivity of
the prime-based portfolio, the Corporation has used interest rate swaps
to convert approximately $1.8 billion of prime-based loans to fixed
rate instruments. Additionally, the Corporation used $250 million of
interest rate swaps to alter the pricing basis on a small portion of
the prime-based loan and bank note portfolios. The Corporation accessed
the capital markets twice in recent years, resulting in the issuance of
$200 million of fixed rate subordinated debt. The impact of adding
long-term debt to the balance sheet resulted in increased asset
sensitivity as proceeds were initially used to replace short-term
borrowings. Accordingly, to reduce the impact on the Corporation's gap
position, $200 million of interest rate swaps were executed to convert
fixed rate debt to a floating rate instrument. Periodic correlation
assessments are performed to ensure that the swap instruments are effec-
tively modifying the interest rate characteristics of the respective
balance sheet items. The interest rate swaps are not leveraged in that
they reset in step with rate movements in the underlying index. The
interest rate swap programs are consistent with management's objective
of balancing the interest rate sensitivity of the core bank.
     As summarized in Table 7, the swap portfolio is primarily
comprised of contracts wherein the Corporation receives a fixed rate of
interest while paying a variable rate. The average rate received at
June 30, 1995 was 5.74% compared to an average rate paid of 6.31%, and
the average remaining maturity of the total portfolio was approximately
one year. The variable rate component of the interest rate swaps is
based on LIBOR as of the most recent re-set date and will adjust with
future movements in this index. Table 8 provides information related to
weighted average rates paid and received, maturity profile, and fair
values of the major swap programs in place at June 30, 1995 and June
30, 1994. The estimated fair value of the swap portfolio was a negative
$40.4 million at June 30, 1995, based on discounted cash flow models.
In that these swaps are valued using anticipated forward 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.

     The swap portfolio decreased net interest income by approximately
$4.4 million in the second quarter of 1995 and $7.9 million for the six
months, resulting in a reduction in the net interest margin of
approximately 6 basis points in each period. In 1994, the swap
portfolio increased net interest income by $6.7 million for the second
quarter and $13.9 million for the six months adding approximately 10
basis points to the margin. The results from the simulation model
indicate that in a rising rate environment the net interest
contribution from the swap portfolio will lessen as the variable
component resets upward. Based on interest rates at June 30, 1995, it
is anticipated that the swap portfolio will reduce net interest income
by approximately $15 million in 1995. However, it is anticipated that
this will be offset by a higher contribution from core banking
activities.
     Approximately 63% of the portfolio is comprised of indexed
amortizing swaps, whereby the maturity distribution could lengthen if
interest rates increase from current levels. Assuming interest rates
were to increase 200 basis points from their current levels, the
average maturity distribution of the swap portfolio would extend by
approximately 1.3 years. 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.
     While the Corporation is primarily an end-user of derivative
instruments, it also acts as an intermediary to meet the financial
needs of its customers. The notional amount of the customer swap
portfolio at June 30, 1995 totaled approximately $464 million. Interest
rate risk associated with this portfolio is controlled by entering into
offsetting positions with third parties.

==================================================================================================================
</TABLE>

     Noninterest income increased 7.9% over the second quarter of 1994
and 6.5% for the six months, primarily due to growth in trust fees,
mortgage banking revenues and credit card income. Noninterest income as
a percentage of operating revenues improved to 34.8% for the six months
of 1995 from 33.6% for the same period of 1994.
     Trust fees increased 13.2% over the second quarter of 1994 and
5.3% for the six months, primarily due to growth in
pension/institutional and personal trust business, which was partially
offset by narrower spreads on securities lending activity. The decline
in securities lending revenues reflects narrower spreads primarily
resulting from higher short-term market interest rates. Trust assets
under management totaled $45.2 billion at June 30, 1995, compared to
$35.8 billion at June 30, 1994, and $37.4 billion at December 31, 1994.
     Service charge income totaled $47.6 million in the second quarter
of 1995 and $93.3 million for the six months, increases of 1.7% and .7%
over the prior year periods, respectively. Service charges in 1995
included growth in retail fees which were offset by lower analysis fees
on corporate customer accounts. The lower level of corporate analysis
fees is primarily a function of corporate customers paying for services
in the form of deposit balance maintenance in lieu of fees. Credit card
income totaled $11.7 million in the second quarter of 1995, and $23.6
million for the six months, increases of 19.2% and 20.9%, respectively
over the prior year periods. This increase reflects growth in
cardholder revenues, as well as increases in merchant-related fees due
to new merchant business and higher retail sales volume. Investment
banking revenues decreased 16.1% from the second quarter of 1994 and
13.0% for the six months primarily due to a reduction in the sales
volume of various retail brokerage products. Foreign exchange income,
another component of investment banking revenues, increased $1.2
million or 49.6% over the six months of 1994.
     Income from mortgage banking operations totaled $16.3 million in
the second quarter of 1995, and $39.2 million for the six months,
increases of 28.0% and 23.4%, respectively over the prior year periods.
Mortgage banking revenues in 1995 include a $7.9 million gain
recognized in the first quarter on the sale of approximately $700
million of mortgage servicing. In the second quarter of 1995, the
Corporation adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 122
(SFAS 122), "Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights." SFAS 122
requires capitalization of purchased mortgage servicing rights as well
as internally originated mortgage servicing rights. Upon adoption of
SFAS 122, the Corporation capitalized approximately $1 million of
internally generated mortgage servicing rights which will be amortized
over the estimated servicing period of the related loans. At June 30,
1995, purchased mortgage servicing rights totaled $44.8 million.
Mortgage servicing rights are stratified and evaluated for impairment
measurement based on product type. Through the first six months of 1995,
no impairment valuation writedowns were required.
      Other noninterest income increased $6.6 million or 11.5% over
the six months of 1994 primarily due to a $4.9 million gain on the sale
of an ownership interest in a regional electronic funds transfer
network and a $1.2 million divestiture gain on the sale of an Arkansas
branch which was required to be sold under regulatory conditions of the
Worthen acquisition agreement. Other noninterest income in the first
half of 1995 was also supplemented by higher gains on sales of student
loans, investment appreciation in bank-owned life insurance, and
increased revenue from debit cards and syndication fees. Other
noninterest income in the second quarter of 1994 included a $4 million
gain from the sale of the former Union of Arkansas Corporation's
headquarters building.

===============================================================================================================
</TABLE>

     Noninterest expense totaled $293.3 million for the second quarter
of 1995 and $604.7 million for the six months, increases of 2.0% and
5.3% from the prior year periods, respectively. Noninterest expense
levels in 1995 included nonrecurring merger expenses totaling
approximately $26 million consisting of investment banking and other
professional fees, severance costs, obsolete equipment write-offs and
estimated costs to close duplicate branches. Excluding merger expenses,
noninterest expense was held to an increase of 1.6% for the quarter and
 .8% for the six months, reflective of ongoing initiatives to control
operating expenses. The efficiency ratio improved to 61.7% for the
second quarter of 1995 compared to 62.2% for the same period of last
year. For the six months, the efficiency ratio before merger expenses
improved to 61.4% from 62.8% in 1994. Including merger expenses, the
efficiency ratio for the six months of 1995 was 64.2%.
     Staff expense, which represents approximately 50% of total
noninterest expense, decreased 1.6% from the second quarter of 1994 and
 .9% for the six months as the number of full-time equivalent employees
(FTE's) decreased from 17,743 at June 30, 1994 to 16,923 at June 30,
1995.
     Other noninterest expense increased $37.5 million for the six
months, which is primarily attributable to the aforementioned
nonrecurring merger expenses, higher levels of uninsured losses and
yield maintenance support provided to the trust subsidiary's short-term
money market fund. In 1994 and through the first six months of 1995,
the Corporation's trust subsidiary waived a portion of its investment
management fees on its short-term money market mutual fund and provided
yield maintenance support to ensure the fund provided a competitive
yield to investors. Yield maintenance may be increased if short-term
interest rates were to rise rapidly from existing levels.

TAXES
     The Corporation's effective tax rate was 35.4% for the six
months of 1995 compared to 34.7% for the same period of last year. The
increase in the Corporation's effective tax rate resulted from
nondeductible merger expenses associated with the pooling-of-interests
acquisitions completed in the first half of 1995, and a continued
decline in the amount of tax-exempt income as a percentage of operating
income. Excluding the impact of the nondeductible merger expenses, the
effective tax rate was 34.4%. On a prospective basis, the effective tax
rate should approximate the statutory rate, adjusted for normal
operating items such as tax-exempt interest, goodwill amortization and
other nondeductible expenses.

</TABLE>

     The provision for loan losses totaled $9.2 million in the second
quarter of 1995, an increase of 18.5% from the second quarter of last
year when the provision totaled $7.7 million. For the six months, the
provision for loan losses totaled $18.9 million, compared to $13.6
million in 1994. The provision for loan losses was increased to
maintain loan reserve coverage at acceptable levels during a period of
strong loan growth.
     The reserve for loan losses represented 291% of nonperforming
loans at June 30, 1995 compared to 277% at December 31, 1994, and 238%
at June 30, 1994. The reserve for loan losses as a percentage of net
loans was 1.93% compared to 2.14% at June 30, 1994, and 2.02% at year-
end 1994. Net loan charge-offs for the six months of 1995 totaled $12.6
million, compared to $10.9 million for the same period of 1994.
Annualized net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans were .13%
for the six months of 1995 and 1994, compared to .15% for all of 1994.
Nonperforming assets, which include nonperforming loans and foreclosed
property, declined $78.2 million or 29.1% from June 30, 1994, and $7.6
million or 3.8% from year-end 1994. As a percent of total loans and
foreclosed property, nonperforming assets declined to .95% compared to
1.50% at June 30, 1994, and 1.06% at December 31, 1994. The decline in
nonperforming asset levels largely resulted from a stronger economy and
the effectiveness of the Corporation's comprehensive loan
administration and workout procedures. As a percentage of total assets,
nonperforming assets were .57% at June 30, 1995, compared to .85% at
June 30, 1994 and .60% at December 31, 1994. Nonperforming loans at
June 30, 1995, declined to $132.2 million or .66% of total loans,
compared to .73% at December 31, 1994, and .90% at June 30, 1994. Table
14 summarizes the trends in nonperforming assets by major banking
unit/geographic location.

     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 13, criticized loans totaled $644.2 million or 3.22%
of loans at June 30, 1995. Management carefully analyzes changes and
trends in both nonperforming and criticized loans in assessing the risk
characteristics of the loan portfolio.

     On January 1, 1995, the Corporation adopted Financial Accounting
Standards No. 114 (SFAS 114), "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment
of a Loan" and No. 118 (SFAS 118), "Accounting by Creditors for
Impairment of a Loan - Income Recognition and Disclosures." These
statements 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 the fair
value of the underlying collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.
The statements further require that specific reserves be established
for any impaired loan for which the recorded investment exceeds the
measured value of the loan. At June 30, 1995, the recorded investment
in loans that are considered to be impaired under SFAS 114 and SFAS 118
totaled $108.4 million and consisted of nonaccrual loans and
restructured loans. Specific loan reserve allocations assigned to
impaired loans were immaterial. Table 11 summarizes the activity in the
reserve for loan losses. The Corporation's policy for income
recognition was not impacted by adoption of SFAS 114 and SFAS 118 and
such interest recognized during the period was immaterial. Interest
income on nonaccrual loans is recognized only in the period in which
payments are received, and such payments are applied to reduce
principal when loans are unsecured or collateral values are deficient.

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.

                                    - 17 -
<PAGE> 18
     The Corporation has designated certain loans covered under the
loss-sharing arrangement which possess more than the normal risk of
collectibility as segregated assets. These loans have the same
characteristics as nonaccrual loans and foreclosed properties. At June
30, 1995, segregated assets totaled $136.9 million, net of a $14.0
million credit valuation allowance, and are classified as other assets
for reporting purposes. At June 30, 1995, segregated assets consisted
of $39.5 million of commercial loans, $15.2 million of industrial
revenue bond loans, $91.9 million of commercial real estate related
loans and $4.3 million of foreclosed property. All other loans covered
under the loss-sharing arrangement are included in the loan portfolio
and totaled $263.0 million at June 30, 1995. Net charge-offs of $2.7
million, representing the Corporation's share of losses on the
segregated asset pool, were recognized in the six months of 1995. 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, 1995, $138.1 million of
segregated assets were accorded classification treatment consistent
with nonaccrual reporting, $4.3 million represented foreclosed
property, and the balance of $8.5 million were 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 $6.3 million for
the six months of 1995 and $6.7 million in the same period of 1994.
     A summary of activity regarding segregated assets is provided in
Table 15.

     The majority of the Corporation's loans are made within its
natural trade territory. The portfolio is highly diversified in that
the Corporation's banking operations span a nine state area with over
500 branch locations. The Corporation's objective is to control credit
risk through geographic diversification and adherence to stringent
credit administration policies that limit industry concentrations and
establish lending authority and borrower limits. The Corporation's
geographic profile provides significant credit and economic risk
diversification in that the Corporation is not solely dependent on any
major market. All of the Corporation's major markets are currently
experiencing good economic conditions and unemployment rates within
these markets are in line with national averages. 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, 1995, loans totaled $19.9 billion, an increase of
12.3% over the same period of last year, and were up 6.8% from December
31, 1994. Loan growth from December 31, 1994 was primarily due to a
12.4% increase in commercial loans and reflected middle-market loan
growth, as well as increases in loans to Fortune 1,000 companies. Loan
growth from June 30, 1994 was primarily due to increases in both the
commercial and consumer loan portfolios.
     At June 30, 1995, consumer loans represented approximately 26.7%
of the total portfolio compared to 26.5% at June 30, 1994 and 28.3% at
December 31, 1994. As a percentage of total loans, middle market
commercial loans were 22.5%, compared to 22.4% at June 30, 1994 and
21.4% at December 31, 1994. Commercial real estate and real estate
construction loans represented 20.2% of total loans at June 30, 1995,
compared to 21.5% at June 30, 1994. 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. Real estate loans are generally
secured by the underlying property at a 75% to 80% loan to value ratio
and are generally supported by guarantees from project developers.
Additional collateral is required on a project-by-project basis
depending on management's evaluation of the borrower. Approximately 30%
of the commercial real estate portfolio is comprised of owner occupied
properties for which the primary source of repayment is not entirely
dependent on the real estate market. At June 30, 1995, the Corporation
had unfunded commercial real estate and construction commitments
totaling $411 million. The amount of collateral, if any, obtained for
other loans is based on general industry practice and the
creditworthiness of the borrower.
     Table 16 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 17.

FINANCIAL POSITION AND LIQUIDITY
     The basic financial structure of the Corporation's average and
period-end balance sheet changed moderately from the fourth quarter and
second quarter of last year primarily due to loan growth and higher
levels of purchased funds. At June 30, 1995, assets totaled $33.4
billion compared to $31.6 billion at June 30, 1994, and $32.9 billion
at December 31, 1994.
     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 greatly 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 and overnight surplus funds. These funds can be 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 $21.3 billion for the second
quarter of 1995, an increase of $.4 billion or 2.0% from the same
period last year. Core deposit growth in recent periods has been
restricted, to some extent, by a shift in customer preference to other
investment alternatives. In addition, the deposit base has been altered
somewhat as customers have redirected balances from traditional lower-
cost savings deposits to higher-rate money market deposit accounts.
This is a reversal of the trend from recent years when the spreads
between savings rates and rates on other retail deposits were at
historical lows. Average earning assets increased approximately $1.2
billion or 4.3% from the second quarter of last year; accordingly, the
increased earning asset volume has been primarily funded by higher
levels of short-term purchased funds. Average core deposits supported
72.2% of earning assets for the second quarter of 1995 compared to
73.9% during the same period last year. Purchased funds, which
increased approximately $.6 billion from the prior year, supported
20.4% of average earning assets compared to 19.1% for the second
quarter of last year. Purchased funds at June 30, 1995, included $2.0
billion of medium-term bank notes which were issued by several of the
Corporation's banking subsidiaries in 1994 and 1995. The Corporation
expects earning asset growth will continue to exceed core deposit
growth in the near term resulting in a continued use of purchased funds
at or slightly above the present levels.
     The Corporation's liquidity position is also managed by
maintaining adequate levels of liquid assets such as money market
investments and available for sale securities. At June 30, 1995, the
available for sale portfolio totaled $4.0 billion compared to $4.7
billion at June 30, 1994. The decline from the year ago period was
primarily due to redeployment of proceeds from maturing securities to
the loan portfolio. Given the current outlook for continued loan
growth, the securities portfolio balances are expected to show year-to-
year declines throughout 1995. 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, 1995, unrealized
depreciation in the available for sale portfolio was approximately
$17.2 million compared to $181.8 million at December 31, 1994. The
increase in market value from year end was primarily due to the decline
in Treasury yields mainly within the 2 to 4 year maturity range. The
Corporation's mortgage-backed securities portfolio totaled
approximately $5.8 billion at June 30, 1995, of which approximately 88%
represented government agency-backed issues and the remainder of the
portfolio was comprised of private-issue mortgaged-backed securities
with credit ratings of AA or better. As a means to control interest

                                    - 20 -
<PAGE> 21
rate and prepayment risk, each security undergoes a thorough analysis
prior to purchase and periodically thereafter to examine the investment
performance using a wide range of interest rate scenarios and
prepayment speeds. This ongoing process insures that the mortgage-
backed securities portfolio meets the Corporation's investment
strategies and internal risk guidelines.
     The variety of funding options available and strong cash flow
provide the Corporation flexibility in selecting funding alternatives
most appropriate in the circumstances, thereby avoiding the necessity
to access capital markets at inopportune times. Maintaining favorable
debt ratings is also critical to liquidity because it can affect the
availability and cost of funds to the Corporation. The Corporation's
ability to access the capital markets on a cost-effective basis is
reflected by its debt ratings, summarized in Table 19. The Corporation
currently has a shelf registration statement filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission providing for the issuance of up to $500
million of debt, preferred stock or common stock. There are no plans to
issue securities pursuant to this filing in the near term. There were
also no commitments for capital expenditures, at June 30, 1995, which
would materially impact the Corporation's liquidity position.

     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 $2.8 billion or approximately 84.2% of total
capitalization at June 30, 1995, an increase of 10.5% from June 30,
1994. The equity to asset ratio was 8.33% at June 30, 1995, compared to
7.98% at June 30, 1994, and 7.79% at December 31, 1994. 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. In the first quarter
of 1995, the Corporation announced a common stock repurchase program
authorizing the repurchase of up to 5 million shares, or approximately
4% of the Corporation's shares outstanding. At June 30, 1995, the
Corporation held approximately 715,000 common shares in Treasury at a
cost of $23.2 million. The repurchased shares will be used to meet
periodic stock requirements of benefit plans and for other corporate
purposes.
     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 10.87% for Tier I and 13.90% for total capital substantially
exceed the regulatory required minimums. At June 30, 1995, the
Corporation's Tier I leverage ratio was 7.63%, well in excess of
required minimums. At June 30, 1995, all of the Corporation's banking
subsidiaries were considered "well capitalized" based on the regulatory
defined minimums of a Tier I leverage ratio of 5%, a Tier I capital
ratio of 6% and a total capital ratio of 10%.
     The Corporation announced a common stock dividend increase on
August 8, 1995, effective with the dividend payable on October 1, 1995,
to $.37 per share per quarter. This is an increase of 8.8% over the
previous quarterly rate of $.34 per share.
