Acquisition Overview
        Over the last several years the Corporation has made numerous
sizeable acquisitions establishing leading market positions in Missouri,
New Mexico and Arkansas, and significant presences in southern Illinois,
western Tennessee, Oklahoma, Iowa and Texas. In 1994 and through the
period ended March 31, 1995, the Corporation completed six acquisitions
in four states aggregating $4.0 billion in total assets. The acquisition
program has three objectives:  geographic diversification, growth in
retail market share, and additional earnings generation capacity. The
Corporation's geographic profile provides 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 good economic conditions. The Corporation's
operations currently span nine states, with banking services delivered
from over 500 branch locations and approximately 515 off-premise ATM's.
A summary of the acquisitions consummated in 1994 and 1995 follows.

Arkansas Acquisition
        On February 28, 1995, the Corporation acquired Worthen Banking
Corporation (Worthen), headquartered in Little Rock, Arkansas, in a
transaction accounted for as a pooling of interests. Under terms of the
agreement the Corporation exchanged one share of its common stock for
each Worthen share, resulting in the issuance of approximately 17.1
million shares. Worthen is the second largest banking organization in
Arkansas, with approximately $3.5 billion in assets, operating 112
retail banking offices throughout Arkansas and six offices in the
Austin, Texas area. The acquisition of Worthen, subsequently renamed
Boatmen's Arkansas, Inc., increased the Corporation's asset base in
Arkansas to approximately $4.3 billion, making the Corporation the
largest financial institution in Arkansas.

Mortgage Banking Acquisition
        On January 31, 1995, the Corporation acquired National Mortgage
Company and certain affiliates (National Mortgage), headquartered in
Memphis, Tennessee, in a transaction accounted for as a pooling of
interests. Under terms of the agreement, the Corporation exchanged
approximately 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 National
Mortgage's mortgage servicing portfolio. National Mortgage is a full-
service mortgage banking company which originates home loans through 8
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 $15.3 billion.
With the completion of this acquisition, the Corporation now ranks among the
30 largest mortgage servicers in the country.

Texas Acquisitions
        On April 1, 1995, the Corporation acquired West Side Bancshares, Inc.
(West Side), a one bank holding company located in San Angelo, Texas, in
a stock transaction accounted for as a purchase. The acquisition of West
Side, with assets of approximately $142 million, resulted in the
issuance of approximately 600,000 shares of common stock with a
transaction value of $18 million. Upon consummation, West Side was merged
into the Corporation's Amarillo subsidiary. Goodwill arising from this
acquisition totaled $6 million.
        On January 31, 1995, the Corporation acquired Dalhart Bancshares, Inc.
(Dalhart), in a pooling 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
was merged with the Corporation's Amarillo subsidiary.
        On November 15, 1994, the Corporation announced a definitive agreement
to acquire First National Bank in Pampa (Pampa) in a transaction to be
accounted for as a pooling of interests. Under terms of the agreement,
the Corporation will exchange approximately 1.35 million shares of
common stock for all of the outstanding shares of Pampa, which has
approximately $166 million in assets. This transaction, which is subject
to Pampa shareholder approval, is expected to be completed in the second
quarter of 1995.
        On May 6, 1994, the Corporation completed the acquisition of Eagle
Management and Trust Company (Eagle), an investment advisory firm
located in Houston, Texas. Eagle, with $1.4 billion in trust assets, is
managed by the Corporation's trust subsidiary.

Illinois Acquisition
        On February 28, 1995, the Corporation acquired Salem Community
Bancorp, Inc. (Salem) in a stock transaction accounted for as a purchase,
valued at approximately $8 million. Salem has two locations with
approximately $80 million in assets and will be merged into the Boatmen's
Bank of South Central Illinois in the second quarter of 1995.

Oklahoma Acquisition
        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 providing services from 18 locations
primarily within the Oklahoma City and Tulsa metropolitan areas.

Nonrecurring Merger Expenses
        The acquisitions of Worthen, National Mortgage and Dalhart
necessitated recognition of pre-tax nonrecurring merger expenses
totalling $25.5 million, consisting primarily of investment banking,
legal, and other professional fees, severance and retention costs,
obsolete equipment write-offs and estimated costs to close duplicate
branches. The major components of the merger expenses are quantified in
Table 4.

Earnings Overview
        Net income before the impact of nonrecurring merger expenses
increased to $105.1 million, up 7.3% from the same period of last year,
and net income per share, before such expenses, was $.83, an increase of
7.8%. The earnings growth reflected higher net interest income and
noninterest income, as well as lower noninterest expense, offset in part
by a higher provision for loan losses. Net income in the first quarter
was reduced by after-tax merger expenses totalling $19.7 million or $.16
per share. Including merger expenses, net income for the first quarter of
1995 was $85.4 million or $.67 per share. Previously reported financial
statements of prior periods have been restated to reflect the three
pooling-of-interests acquisitions which were completed in the first
quarter of 1995. Purchase acquisitions completed during the period had
no material impact on results of operations.
        For the first quarter, the return on average assets before
nonrecurring merger expenses was 1.31% and the return on equity was
16.17%, compared to 1.28% and 15.92%, respectively in the first quarter
of 1994. Including merger expenses, the return on assets was 1.06% and
the return on equity was 13.14%.
        Net interest income, on a fully-taxable equivalent basis,
increased 2.3% over the first quarter of 1994 principally due to an
increase in average earning assets, which was partially offset by a lower
net interest margin. The net interest margin was 4.29%, a decrease of 11
basis points from the first quarter of last year, and was comparable to
the fourth quarter 1994 margin of 4.30%.

        Noninterest income increased 5.2% over the first quarter of 1994
primarily due to growth in mortgage banking revenues and credit card
fees which were partially offset by declines in trust fees and
investment banking revenues. Noninterest income in the first quarter of
1995 also included a gain of $4.9 million from the sale of an ownership
interest in a regional electronic funds transfer network.
        Noninterest expense before merger expenses totaled $285.0 million, a
decrease of .3% from the first quarter of last year and a decline of
3.5% from the fourth quarter of 1994. These declines reflect initiatives
to control operating costs. Including nonrecurring merger expenses,
noninterest expense was $310.5 million.
        The provision for loan losses for the first quarter of 1995 was $9.8
million, up from $6.0 million for the first quarter of last year. For
the first quarter, net loan charge-offs were $6.2 million, compared to
$2.4 million in 1994. Net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans
were .13% compared to .06% for the first quarter of last year and .15%
for the full year 1994.
        Presented in Table 5 is an income statement analysis expressed on a
per share basis for the quarter ended March 31, 1995, compared to the same
period last year and the three months ended December 31, 1994. A more
detailed discussion and analysis of the major factors impacting the
comparability between periods is provided throughout this report.

</TABLE>

        Measured on a fully-taxable equivalent basis, net interest income
increased 2.3% over the first quarter of 1994. The higher level of net
interest income resulted primarily from earning asset growth and was
partially offset by an anticipated contraction in the net interest
margin.
        Average earning assets increased 5.1% over the first quarter of last
year primarily due to strong loan growth. Loans, the highest yielding
earning asset, increased 10.9% over the first quarter of 1994 and as a
percentage of average earning assets was 65.8% compared to 62.4% for the
same period last year. Held to maturity and available for sale
securities decreased 6.7%, and represented 32.0% of average earning
assets, down from 36.1% for the first quarter 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 first quarter of 1995 was 4.29%
compared to 4.40% for the same period last year but was comparable to the
fourth quarter margin of 4.30%. The decline in the net interest margin
from the first quarter of 1994 was 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 increased 94 basis points from the first quarter of last
year; however, the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities
increased by 122 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 $1.5 billion or 32.5%. 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

                                    -11-
<PAGE> 12

(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 4%, assuming a gradual 200 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, the behavior 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, $350 million of new swaps were added and $33 million matured
such that at March 31, 1995, the notional value of the interest rate
swaps totaled $2.6 billion. The most recent swaps were executed as a
means to convert a portion of the Corporation's variable rate short-term
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 $5.8 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 effectively 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 banking activities.
        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 March 31,
1995 was 5.68% compared to an average rate paid of 6.56%, and the
average remaining maturity of the total portfolio was less than two
years. 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 March 31, 1995 and March
31, 1994. The estimated fair value of the swap portfolio was a negative
$99.6 million at March 31, 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.

</TABLE>

        The swap portfolio decreased net interest income by approximately
$3.5 million in the first quarter of 1995, resulting in a 5 basis point
reduction in the net interest margin. In the first quarter of 1994, the
swap portfolio increased net interest income by $7.3 million, adding 11
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 March 31, 1995, it is anticipated
that the swap portfolio will reduce net interest income by approximately
$17 million in 1995. However, it is anticipated that this will be offset
by a higher contribution from core banking activities. The increased
contribution from core banking activities will occur as variable rate
assets, such as the hedged prime-based loans, reprice upward, coupled
with an increased contribution from administered rate liabilities, which
are less sensitive to rate movements.
        Approximately 76% 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
2 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
March 31, 1995 totaled approximately $305 million. Interest rate risk
associated with this portfolio is controlled by entering into offsetting
positions with third parties.

        Noninterest income increased 5.2% over the first quarter of 1994
primarily due to growth in mortgage banking revenues and credit card
fees which were partially offset by declines in trust fees and
investment banking revenues. Noninterest income in the first quarter of
1995 also included a gain of $4.9 million from the sale of an ownership
interest in a regional electronic funds transfer network. Noninterest
income in the first quarter of 1994 included securities gains of $2.6
million. Noninterest income as a percentage of operating revenues
improved to 34.8% for the first quarter of 1995 from 34.2% for the same
period of 1994.
        Trust fees decreased 2.6% from the first quarter of 1994 primarily
due to narrower spreads on securities lending activity, coupled with an
unusually large distribution fee recognized in the prior year period.
Excluding this activity, trust fees increased approximately 5% and was
led by growth in pension/institutional and personal trust business. The
decline in securities lending revenues reflects narrower spreads
primarily resulting from higher short-term market interest rates. Trust
assets under management totaled $40.1 billion at March 31, 1995,
compared to $35.2 billion at March 31, 1994, and $37.4 billion at
December 31, 1994. In 1994, the Corporation's trust subsidiary waived a
portion of its investment management fees on its short-term money market
mutual fund to ensure the fund provided a competitive yield to
investors. Additional yield maintenance and fund support may be
undertaken if short-term interest rates rise rapidly or significant
reductions in fund balances occur.
        Service charge income totaled $45.6 million in the first quarter
of 1995 essentially unchanged from the same period last year. Service
charges in the first quarter of 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 through deposit balance
maintenance in lieu of fees. Investment banking revenues decreased 9.7%
from the first quarter of 1994 primarily due to a reduction in the sales
volume of various retail brokerage products as general market conditions
have restricted growth. Foreign exchange income, another component of
investment banking revenues, increased $.8 million or 73% over the first
quarter of 1994.
        Credit card income totaled $11.9 million in the first quarter of
1995, an increase of 22.6%. 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. Income from mortgage
banking operations increased $3.9 million or 20.3%, reflecting a $7.9
million gain from the sale of approximately $700 million of mortgage
servicing which was offset, in part, by lower levels of mortgage loan
originations and refinancings. The decline in loan originations reflects
an industry-wide trend and is a function of the rising interest rate
environment.
        Other noninterest income increased $6.7 million or 25.7% over the
first quarter of 1994 primarily due to the aforementioned $4.9 million
gain on the sale of an ownership interest in a regional electronic funds
transfer network.

        Noninterest expense before nonrecurring merger expenses totaled
$285.0 million, a decrease of .3% from the first quarter of last year and
a decline of 3.5% from the fourth quarter of 1994. These declines are
reflective of recent initiatives to reduce operating costs. Such
initiatives include major back-office consolidations of deposit and
consumer lending functions. Including merger expenses of $25.5 million,
noninterest expense was $310.5 million. The efficiency ratio before
merger expenses improved to 61.3% for the first quarter of 1995
compared to 63.4% for the same period of last year. Including merger
expenses, the efficiency ratio in 1995 was 66.7%. Noninterest expense
levels over the balance of the year are expected to benefit as
potential cost savings stemming from the integration of operations at
recently acquired companies are realized.

<PAGE> 15

        Staff expense, which represents 48% of total noninterest expense,
decreased .2% from the first quarter of 1994 as the number of full-time
equivalent employees (FTE's) decreased from 17,562 at March 31, 1994 to
16,828 at March 31, 1995. Equipment expense increased 6.2% over the
first quarter of 1994, primarily due to higher depreciation expense
associated with investments in capital expenditures for upgraded
computer systems and software. The higher level of advertising expense
reflects increased promotional activity associated with retail
initiatives. Goodwill and core deposit premium amortization totaled
$7.9 million for the first quarter of 1995, compared to $8.8 million in
the prior year. This decline reflects lower levels of core deposit
amortization. Other noninterest expense increased $26.7 million which
is primarily attributable to the aforementioned nonrecurring merger
expenses.

Taxes
        The Corporation's effective tax rate was 37.2% for the first quarter
of 1995 compared to 34.4% 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 quarter 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 34.9%. 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 $9.8 million in the first
quarter of 1995, an increase of 62.6% from the first quarter of last year
when the provision totaled $6.0 million. The provision for loan losses was
increased to maintain loan reserve coverage at acceptable levels during
a period of continued strong loan growth.
        The reserve for loan losses represented 298% of nonperforming loans
at March 31, 1995, compared to 279% at December 31, 1994, and 234% at
March 31, 1994. The reserve for loan losses as a percentage of net
loans was 1.97% compared to 2.21% at March 31, 1994, and 2.02% at year-
end 1994. Net loan charge-offs for the first quarter of 1995 totaled
$6.2 million, compared to $2.4 million for the same period of 1994 when
net charge-offs included a $3.7 million recovery pertaining to one
credit. Annualized net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans
were .13% compared to .06% for the same period of last year and .15%
for all of 1994. Nonperforming assets, which include nonperforming
loans and foreclosed property, declined $86.6 million or 31.4% from
March 31, 1994, and $7.7 million or 3.9% from year-end 1994. As a
percent of total loans and foreclosed property, nonperforming assets
declined to .98% compared to 1.59% at March 31, 1994, and 1.05% at
December 31, 1994. The decline in nonperforming asset levels over the
last several quarterly periods 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 .59% at March 31, 1995, compared

                                    -15-
<PAGE> 16

to .89% at March 31, 1994 and .60% at December 31, 1994. Nonperforming
loans at March 31, 1995, declined to $127.5 million or .66% of total
loans, compared to .72% at December 31, 1994, and .94% at March 31, 1994.
Table 14 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 13, criticized loans totaled $613.7 million or 3.18%
of loans at March 31, 1995, a decline of $149.5 million from March 31,
1994, when criticized loans were 4.44%. 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 March 31, 1995, the recorded investment in loans
that are considered to be impaired under SFAS 114 and SFAS 118 totaled
$112.5 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.
        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 risk
characteristics as nonaccrual loans and foreclosed properties. At March
31, 1995, segregated assets totaled $131.3 million, net of a $14.0
million credit valuation allowance, and are classified as other assets
for reporting purposes. At March 31, 1995, segregated assets consisted
of $37.3 million of commercial loans, $17.7 million of industrial
revenue bond loans, $84.0 million of commercial real estate related
loans and $6.3 million of foreclosed property. All other loans covered
under the loss-sharing arrangement are included in the loan portfolio
and totaled $286.2 million at March 31, 1995. Net charge-offs of $2.7
million, representing the Corporation's share of losses on the
segregated asset pool, were recognized in the first quarter 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 March 31, 1995, $133.4 million of segregated assets were
accorded classification treatment consistent with nonaccrual reporting,
$6.3 million represented foreclosed property, and the balance of $5.6
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 $3.5 million in the first quarter of 1995 and $3.3
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 March 31, 1995, loans totaled $19.3 billion, an increase of
12.1% over the same period of last year. Based on average balances, loans
increased 10.9%, principally the result of loan growth within the
consumer and middle-market commercial portfolios. The growth was led by
an increase of 26.0% in consumer loans, coupled with an increase in
commercial loans of 7.2%. Consumer

loan growth was largely the result of increased indirect auto loans and
credit card loans. The increase in commercial loans reflected
middle-market loan growth, as well as increases in loans to Fortune 1,000
companies.
        At March 31, 1995, consumer loans represented approximately 27.6%
of the total loan portfolio compared to 25.3% at March 31, 1994. As a
percentage of total loans, middle-market commercial loans were 21.7%,
compared to 22.6% at March 31, 1994. Commercial real estate and real
estate construction loans represented 20.6% of total loans at March 31,
1995, compared to 21.3% at March 31, 1994. The balance of the real
estate portfolio is comprised of 1-4 family residential loans which
increased 4.1% from March 31, 1994, but as a percentage of the total
portfolio were 18.9% at March 31, 1995 compared to 20.4% at March 31,
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 March 31, 1995,
the Corporation had unfunded commercial real estate and construction
commitments totaling $387 billion. 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 first quarter of
last year primarily due to loan growth and higher levels of purchased
funds. At March 31, 1995, assets totaled $32.4 billion compared to $31.1
billion at March 31, 1994, and $32.7 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 $20.7 billion for the first quarter
of 1995, a decrease of $.2 billion or .8% 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 during this period increased approximately $1.4
billion or 5.1%; accordingly, the additional earning asset volume has
been funded by higher levels of short-term purchased funds. Average core
deposits supported 72.1% of earning assets for the first quarter of 1995
compared to 76.4% during the same period last year. Purchased funds,
which increased approximately $1.5 billion from the prior year,
supported 20.8% of average earning assets compared to 16.5% for the
first quarter of last year. Purchased funds at March 31, 1995, included
$1.9 billion of short-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 March 31, 1995, the available for sale
portfolio totaled $4.0 billion compared to $4.9 billion at March 31,
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 March 31, 1995, unrealized depreciation in the
available for sale portfolio was approximately $63.5 million compared to
$178.4 million at December 31, 1994. The market value appreciation from
year end was primarily due to the decline in Treasury yields primarily
within the 2 to 4 year maturity range. The Corporation's mortgage-backed
securities portfolio totaled approximately $5.8 billion at March 31,
1995, of which approximately 90% represented government agency-backed
issues, and the remainder of the portfolio was comprised of private-
issue mortgage-backed securities with credit ratings of AA or better. As
a means to control interest 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.

                                    -19-

        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 Parent Company's
ability to access the capital markets on a cost-effective basis is
reflected by its debt ratings, summarized in Table 19. Approximately $38
million of the Corporation's long-term debt will mature in the second
quarter of 1995. 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 March 31, 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

                                    -20-
<PAGE> 21

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 $2.7 billion or approximately 82.6% of total capitalization at
March 31, 1995, an increase of 7.9% from March 31, 1994. The equity to
asset ratio was 8.20% at March 31, 1995, compared to 7.91% at March 31,
1994, and 7.74% 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.
        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 13.98% for total capital substantially
exceed the regulatory required minimums. At March 31, 1995, the
Corporation's Tier I leverage ratio was 7.57%, well in excess of
required minimums. At March 31, 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%.
        In the first quarter of 1995, the Corporation announced a common
stock buy back program authorizing the repurchase of up to 5 million
shares, or approximately 5% of the Corporation's shares outstanding. The
repurchased shares will be used to meet periodic stock requirements of
benefit plans and for other corporate purposes.
