                         Notes to Financial Statements - Continued

                            June 30, 1996 & 1995 (Unaudited)

5.  As part of its asset/liability management activities, the Corporation may
    enter into interest rate futures, forwards, swaps and option contracts. 
    These derivative financial instruments are categorized as risk management
    instruments and are carried at fair value unless the instrument qualifies
    for hedge accounting treatment.  Fair value adjustments on risk management
    instruments carried at fair value are reflected in other operating income. 
    Gains and losses realized on futures and forward contracts qualifying as
    hedges are deferred and amortized over the terms of the related assets or
    liabilities and are included as adjustments to interest income or expense. 
    Settlement on interest rate swaps and option contracts are recognized over
    the lives of the agreements as adjustments to interest income or interest
    expense.

    Interest rate contracts used in connection with the securities portfolio
    that are designated as available for sale are carried at fair value with
    gains and losses, net of applicable deferred income taxes, reported in a
    separate component of shareholders' equity, consistent with the reporting
    of unrealized gains and losses on such securities.

6.  On April 1, 1996, $16,819 of the Corporation's 8.5% convertible subordinated
    notes were converted by the holder into 1,922,114 shares of the
    Corporation's common stock.  The common stock acquired by conversion of the
    notes was exchanged for 168,185 shares of the Corporation's Series A
    convertible preferred stock.  These are noncash transactions for purposes
    of the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL POSITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 AND 1995
- -----------------------------------------
Net income for the second quarter of 1996 amounted to $50.4 million compared to
$46.2 million for the same period in the prior year.  Primary and fully diluted
earnings per share were $.51 and $.50, respectively for the three months ended
June 30, 1996, compared with $.47 and $.46 for the same period last year.  The
return on average assets and return on average equity were 1.52% and 15.87% for
the quarter ended June 30, 1996, and 1.47% and 16.04% for the quarter ended June
30, 1995, respectively.

The increase in earnings is primarily due to noninterest revenue growth and, to
a lessor extent, an increase in net interest income and somewhat lower loan loss
provision.  The continued growth in expenses associated with the investment in
new products and technology being developed by Data Services also impacts
earnings.  Total noninterest expense in the second quarter of 1996 continues to
include costs incurred for implementing certain initiatives to make the
Corporation's banking business more effective and efficient.

The following tables present a summary of each of the major elements of the
consolidated income statement, certain financial statistics and a summary of the
major income statement elements stated as a percent of average consolidated
assets -- converted to a fully taxable equivalent basis (FTE) where appropriate
- -- for the current quarter and previous four quarters.

NET INTEREST INCOME
- -------------------
Net interest income for the second quarter of 1996 amounted to $123.9 million,
an increase of $1.6 million or 1.3% from the $122.3 million reported in the
second quarter of 1995.  The benefit from the increase in the volume of average
earning assets and decrease in the cost of interest bearing liabilities was
offset by the decrease in yield on earning assets and increase in volume of
interest bearing liabilities resulting in the slight increase in net interest
income.

Average earning assets increased $711.7 million  or 6.2% in the second quarter
of 1996 compared to the same period  a year ago. Excluding the effect of
securitizing adjustable rate mortgage loans (ARMS), average loans grew
approximately $231 million or 2.6% compared to the second quarter of last year.
Average loans in the second quarter of 1996 include the effect of a 1995
acquisition that was accounted for as a purchase with aggregate loans of
approximately $73 million.  The remaining average earning asset growth was in
investment securities.  Average tax-exempt securities increased $280.6 million
or 83.8% while average taxable securities increased $215.1 million or 11.1%.

Average interest bearing liabilities increased $522.4 million or 5.8% in the 
second quarter of 1996 compared to the same period in 1995. Average interest 
bearing deposits increased $468.3 million or 6.2%, average short-term borrowings
increased $132.4 million or 15.3% and average long-term borrowings decreased 
$78.4 million or 9.6%. Average noninterest bearing deposits increased  $103.4
million or 5.3%  during the second quarter of 1996 compared to the second
quarter of 1995.

On April 1, 1996, the holder of the Corporation's 8.5% convertible subordinated
notes converted approximately $16.8 million of the notes as more fully described
in Note 6 of Notes to Financial Statements. Also during the second quarter of
1996, approximately $165.0 million of Bank notes matured and were refinanced 
with short-term borrowings and brokered CDs.

The growth and composition of the Corporation's quarterly average loan portfolio
for the current quarter and previous four quarters are reflected below.  The 
amortized cost of the securitized ARM loans that are classified as investment
securities available for sale are included to provide a more meaningful

Beginning in the third quarter of 1995, the Corporation began converting ARM 
loans into Federal National Mortgage Association ARM pool securities to enhance
liquidity.  During the first quarter of 1996 an additional $88 million of such
loans  were securitized.  There were no ARM loan securitizations during the
second quarter of 1996.  At June 30, 1996, the total amount of ARM loans that
have been securitized and transferred to investment securities available for 
sale was approximately $542 million. As part of this process, the Corporation
pays a fee of 7.5 basis points to guarantee the securities which negatively
impacts net interest income.

Money market savings, CDs greater than $100 and noninterest bearing deposits 
exhibited the greatest growth when comparing average deposits in the second
quarter of 1996 to the second quarter of 1995.  Average deposits in the second
quarter of 1996 include the effect of a 1995 acquisition that was accounted for
as a purchase with total deposits of approximately $83 million.  As previously
discussed throughout 1995, the money market index account, which was introduced
in the third quarter of 1994, has been a substantial contributor to deposit
growth.  The average amount of money market index accounts was $1.57 billion in
the second quarter of 1996 compared to $870 million in the same period one year
ago.  The increase in this deposit type represents both new deposits and
disintermediation from the Corporation's other deposit accounts.

The Corporation has a brokered CD program to acquire longer-term CDs with
maturities of one year or more in order to provide a stable funding source that
over time is less costly than Bank notes or Fed Funds.  Average brokered CDs 
amounted to $115.4 million in the second quarter of 1996 compared to $38.7
million in the first quarter of 1996 and $16.0 million during the second quarter
of 1995.  As previously discussed, the brokered CDs were used to partially
refinance the Bank notes that matured during the second quarter of 1996.

At the end of the first quarter in 1996, the Corporation began utilizing
interest rate swaps in the management of its interest rate exposure.

Interest rate swaps are contractual agreements between counterparties to
exchange interest streams based on notional principal amounts over a set period
of time. Such swap agreements normally involve the exchange of fixed and
floating rate payment obligations without the exchange of the underlying
principal amounts. The notional or principal amount does not represent an amount
at risk, but is used only as a basis for determining the actual cash flows
related to the interest rate contracts. Market risk, due to potential
fluctuations in interest rates, is inherent in swap agreements. All interest 
rate swap counterparties are formally evaluated and continually monitored for
credit-quality.

At June 30, 1996, the Corporation's quarter-end position in interest rate swaps
amounted to $200 million in notional amount.  The swaps have terms which range
from 2 to 5 years and are designated against variable rate commercial loans in
order to reduce interest rate volatility.  The net fair values of the interest
rate swaps at June 30, 1996, was a negative $0.4 million.  The impact of the 
interest rate swaps in the second quarter was to increase interest income on 
loans by $0.3 million and increase the yield on loans, yield on interest earning
assets and increase the net interest margin (FTE) as a percent of average
earning assets by one basis point.

The net interest margin as a percent of average earning assets declined 16 basis
points from 4.33% in the second quarter of 1995 to 4.17% in the current quarter.
The yield on average earning assets decreased 24 basis points while the cost of
interest bearing liabilities decreased 10 basis points.  The cost of interest
bearing deposits increased slightly in the second quarter of 1996 compared to
the same period last year.  The average cost of short-term borrowings decreased
74 basis points which reflects in part, the Corporation's banking affiliates 
expanded use of the treasury tax and loan note option programs which provide a
lower cost funding source.  The cost of long-term borrowings decreased 32 basis
points which reflects the maturity and conversion of higher cost debt.

The possible continuing lack of earning asset growth, particularly loan growth,
may continue to put pressure on the interest spreads and depress interest margin
growth.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES AND CREDIT QUALITY
- --------------------------------------------
At June 30, 1996, nonperforming assets were $98.1 million compared to $ 90.8 
million at March 31, 1996, and $68.2 million at June 30, 1995. Nonaccrual loans,
the largest component of nonperforming assets, increased  $8.8 million since the
first quarter and increased $32.0 million since June 30, 1995.  Renegotiated 
loans and loans past due 90 days or more were relatively unchanged since March
31,1996 and decreased $0.5 million and $0.4 million, respectively since the
second quarter of 1995.  Other real estate owned decreased $1.4 million since
the first quarter and decreased $1.2 million since June 30, 1995

During the second quarter of 1996 each loan type experienced an increase in
nonaccrual loans compared to the first quarter except for personal loans which
decreased $0.5 million.  Nonaccrual commercial real estate loans increased $4.2
million, nonaccrual commercial loans and leases increased $3.5 million and
nonaccrual residential real estate loans increased $1.5 million.  As previously
reported, one large commercial credit placed on nonaccrual in the first quarter
at the Corporation's lead bank represents approximately $22.5 million of the 
$32.0 million increase in nonaccrual loans since June 30, 1995.

Net charge-offs in the second quarter of 1996 amounted to $1.5 million or 0.07%
of average loans compared to $2.7 million or 0.13% of average loans in the first
quarter of 1996 and $1.1 million or 0.05% of average loans in the second quarter
of 1995.  Personal loan  net charge-offs of  approximately $1.1 million
accounted for the majority of net charge-off activity in the second quarter of
1996.

The allowance for loan losses amounted to $163.9 million or 1.82% of total loans
at June 30, 1996, compared to $161.8 million or 1.84% at March 31, 1996, and 
$160.6 million or 1.75% at June 30, 1995.  The coverage ratio of the allowance
for loan losses to nonperforming loans declined from 269% at June 30, 1995, and
197% at March 31, 1996, to 181% at June 30, 1996, largely due to the increase
in nonaccrual loans described above.

The Corporation believes that the current reserve and provision levels continue
to be adequate.  The provision for loan losses amounted to $3.5 million in the
second quarter of 1996 compared to $3.6 million in the first quarter of 1996 and
$4.0 million in the second quarter of 1995.

OTHER INCOME
- ------------
Total other income in the second quarter of 1996 amounted to $120.6 million, an
increase of $18.4 million or 18.0%, compared to $102.2 million in the same
period last year.

Data processing services revenue increased $13.6 million or 26.1% from $52.3 
million in the second quarter of 1995 to $66.0 million in the current quarter.
Processing revenue increased $7.6 million or 19.3% and software revenue
increased $2.7 million or 34.3%.  Buyout fees, which can vary from period to 
period, decreased $1.7 million. Revenue from unique services such as contract
programming and consulting increased $4.2 million.  Compared to the first
quarter of 1996, total data processing services revenue increased $7.6 million
or 13%.  Significant components of the quarter over quarter increase include 
increased processing revenue, $3.8 million, increased software revenue, $1.7 
million and increased buyout fees, $1.6 million.

Trust services revenue amounted to $17.5 million in the second quarter of 1996,
an increase of $1.4 million or 9.1% compared to $16.1 million in the second
quarter of 1995 and increased $0.7 million or 4.3% from the first quarter of 
1996.

Other customer services increased $2.7 million or 10.2% and totaled $28.7
million in the second quarter of 1996 compared to $26.1 million in the same
period one year ago.  Service charges on deposits of $13.0 million increased 
$0.3 million or 2.2%  Mutual fund commissions and trailor fees increased $.9 
million and credit card fees increased $0.6 million.

The effects of net securities transactions in the second quarters of 1996 and
1995 were not significant.

Other income amounted to $8.2 million in the second quarter of 1996 compared to
$7.8 million in the second quarter of 1995, an increase of $0.4 million or 5.3%.
Gains from the sale of residential mortgage loans that include servicing rights
increased $1.7 million and were offset by lower foreign exchange revenue of $0.5
million and decreased gains from the disposal of fixed assets of $0.7 million.

OTHER EXPENSE
- -------------
Total other expenses in the second quarter of 1996 amounted to $164.2 million,
an increase of  $14.7 million or 9.8% compared to $149.5 million  in the same
period last year.

The increase in expenses is primarily attributable to the Corporation's
nonbanking businesses especially its Data Services Division.  Data Services
expense growth reflects the impact of a 1995 acquisition, the cost of adding 
processing capacity and certain costs associated with developing new products
and technology, in order to meet the ever-changing needs of its new and existing
customers as efficiently and effectively as possible.

Expenses of the Corporation's banks in the second quarter of 1996 continue to
include costs of implementing certain initiatives in the areas of retail and 
small business lending, loan and deposit operational support and product and 
service distribution networks which are intended to improve customer service,
enable more competitive pricing and achieve improved cost efficiencies. Total
operating expenses for the Corporation's combined banks and support services 
group excluding costs of initiatives and the effect of lower deposit insurance
premiums increased 1.5% in the second quarter of 1996 compared to the first
quarter of 1996 and increased 4.9% compared to the second quarter of 1995.

Salaries and employee benefits expense which accounts for over one-half of total
other expenses, amounted to $93.2 million in the second quarter of 1996 compared
to $83.9 million in the second quarter of 1995, an increase of $9.3 million or
11.0%. Approximately, $0.9 million of the increase reflects severance and other
related costs associated with the implementation of the banking initiatives
described above.  Excluding the initiatives, total salaries and benefits expense
for the Corporation's banks and support services group decreased in the second
quarter compared to the same period last year.  Salaries and employee benefits
expense of Data Services increased  $6.8 million or 21.2% in the current quarter
compared to the same period last year.  At June 30, 1996, Data Services had
approximately 2,634 employees compared to 2,352 at June 30, 1995. Approximately
one-third of the employee increase relates to a New England data center that was
acquired in late June 1995.

Net occupancy expense increased $0.9 million or 10.0%  and equipment expense 
increased $3.6 million or 22.0%, in the second quarter of 1996 compared to the
same period last year.  Data Services expense growth accounted for 
approximately $3.8 million or 87% of the combined expense growth in these
categories.

The decrease in payments to regulatory agencies reflects the decrease in
insurance premium rates on deposits insured through the FDIC which went into 
effect June 1, 1995.

Other expense increased 29.2% or $6.4 million from $22.0 million in the second
quarter of 1995 to $28.4 million in the second quarter of 1996.  Data Services
contributed $4.1 million or 63% of the expense growth.  During the second
quarter $0.3 million in write-downs were taken in conjunction with two bank
branch closures.  Advertising, promotion and development increased $0.9 million
or 35% of which approximately $0.7 million is related to the banking affiliates.

INCOME TAXES
- ------------
The provision for income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 1996,
amounted to $26.4 million compared to $24.8 million for the three months ended
June 30, 1995. The effective tax rate remained relatively unchanged.


SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 AND 1995
- ---------------------------------------
Net income for the first half of 1996 amounted to $96.5 million compared to
$92.4 million in the first half of 1995.  Primary and fully diluted earnings per
share amounted $0.98 and $0.96, respectively, for the six months ended June 30,
1996, compared with $0.94 and $0.91 per share respectively, for the same period
last year. The year to date return on average equity through June 30, was 15.27%
in the current year and 16.46% last year.

The following table presents a summarized view of each of the major elements of
the consolidated income statement for the first six months of 1996 and 1995
stated as a percent of average consolidated assets and converted to a fully
taxable equivalent where appropriate.

                              ======== ======== ========

The increase in net income is primarily due to noninterest revenue growth which
was principally experienced in the second quarter, slow interest margin growth
and a somewhat lower loan loss provision which was offset, in part by the growth
in expenses for new products and technology at Data Services and the costs
associated with implementing certain initiatives at the banking affiliates.


CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -----------------
Shareholders' equity was $1.27 billion or 9.27% of total consolidated assets at
June 30, 1996, compared to $1.26 billion and 9.43% at December 31, 1995, and 
$1.17 billion and 9.12% at June 30,1995.

Net unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale decreased $20.8
million since December 31, 1995, and decreased $6.6 million since June 30, 1995.

OTHER DEVELOPMENTS
- ------------------
In June the Corporation announced that it had reached an agreement to acquire
EastPoint Technology, Inc. a software development company specializing in
client/server technology located in New Hampshire.  The Corporation
anticipates that the acquisition, which will be a purchase of EastPoint's
assets for approximately $25.5 million and the assumption of certain nominal
liabilities, will be consummated during the third quarter of 1996.  The
consolidated results of operations for the third quarter may be adversely
affected by the value of acquired in-process research and development that
must be immediately written off in accordance with purchase accounting rules.
