                          Notes to Financial Statements - Continued

                            September 30, 1996 & 1995 (Unaudited)


5.   As part of its asset/liability management activities, the Corporation may
     enter into interest rate futures, forwards, swaps, floors 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.

7.   On August 7, 1996, the Corporation consummated the acquisition of
     EastPoint Technology, Inc. ("EastPoint") for cash consideration of
     approximately $25.5 million.

     EastPoint, a software development company specializing in client/server
     technology, is located in Bedford, New Hampshire.

     The allocation of the purchase price to the various classes of assets was
     determined on the basis of an opinion expressed by a nationally
     recognized independent appraisal firm.  The value determined for in-
     process technology, where technology feasibility had not yet been
     established or was not believed to have an alternative future use, was
     immediately expensed while the values of completed technology and other
     assets including the resulting goodwill are being amortized over their
     estimated useful lives.

     Acquired in-process technology expensed during the third Quarter of 1996
     amounted to $12.1 million  ($7.9 million after-tax or $0.08 per share).

     The results of operations for EastPoint are included from the date of
     acquisition and are not material to the Corporation.

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

THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 AND 1995
- ----------------------------------------------
Net income for the third quarter of 1996 amounted to $45.0 million compared to
$48.6 million for the same period in the prior year.  Primary and fully diluted
earnings per share were $.46 and $.45, respectively for the three months ended
September 30, 1996, compared with $.49 and $.48 for the same period last year. 
The return on average assets and return on average equity were 1.29% and 13.98%
for the quarter ended September 30, 1996, and 1.49% and 15.96% for the quarter
ended September 30, 1995, respectively.

During the third quarter of 1996, the Corporation completed the acquisition of
EastPoint Technology, Inc.  In conjunction with the acquisition, research and
development costs relating to acquired in-process technology were written-off. 
Also during the same quarter, the Corporation accrued the one-time 65.7 basis
point assessment associated with the Savings Association Insurance Fund (SAIF)
recapitalization which was enacted into law on September 30, 1996.

The following table shows the impact of the special charges described above
($ in millions):

                                                        Earnings Per Share
                                                      ----------------------

Net Income                           $67.3     $45.0     $0.46      $0.45

                                  --------- --------- --------- ----------
Total Special Charges                 14.9       9.6      0.09       0.10
                                  --------- --------- --------- ----------
Income Before Special Charges        $82.2     $54.6     $0.55      $0.55
                                  ========= ========= ========= ==========

Excluding the special charges, the increase in earnings of $6.0 million is
primarily due to noninterest revenue growth and, to a lesser extent, an increase
in net interest income.  The continued growth in expenses associated with the
investment in new products and technology and required software maintenance to
handle the year 2000 by the Data Services Division also impacts earnings.  Total
noninterest expense in the third 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.  Data for the current 
quarter is before the special charges previously discussed.

NET INTEREST INCOME
- -------------------
Net interest income for the third quarter of 1996 amounted to $126.3 million,
an increase of $3.4 million or 2.7% from the $122.9 million reported in the
third 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 in part by the decrease in yield on earning assets and increase in volume
of interest bearing liabilities resulting in the increase in net interest
income. 

Average earning assets increased $997.0 million  or 8.4% in the third 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 $278 million or 3.0% compared to the third quarter of last year. 
The remaining average earning asset growth was in investment securities which
reflects the Corporation's intent to increase portfolio size with higher
yielding and longer-term securities to adjust rate sensitivity of the total
balance sheet.  Average tax-exempt securities increased $331.0 million or 83.6%
while average taxable securities increased $413.4 million or 21.1% excluding the
effect of the ARM loan securitization.

Average interest bearing liabilities increased $802.9 million or 8.5% in the 
third quarter of 1996 compared to the same period in 1995. Average interest
bearing deposits increased $392.7 million or 5.1%, average short-term borrowings
increased $652.7 million or 81.2% and average long-term borrowings decreased 
$242.4 million or 29.3%. Average noninterest bearing deposits increased  $128.3
million or 6.5%  during the third quarter of 1996 compared to the third quarter
of 1995.

During the Second Quarter of 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 third quarter of 1996, approximately $126.0 million of Bank notes 
matured and were refinanced with short-term borrowings and brokered CDs.

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 and third quarters of 1996.  At September 30, 1996, the cumulative 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.  The Corporation
estimates that approximately $90 million of ARM loans will be securitized
beginning in the fourth quarter of 1996.

Money market savings and brokered CDs exhibited the greatest growth when
comparing average deposits in the third quarter of 1996 to the third quarter of
1995.  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 $1.63 billion in the third quarter of 1996 compared to $1.09
billion 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 $220.6 million in the third quarter of 1996 compared to $16.0
million during the third quarter of 1995.  As previously discussed, the brokered
CDs were used to partially refinance Bank notes as they matured.

At the end of the first quarter in 1996, the Corporation began utilizing
interest rate swaps and during the third quarter began utilizing interest rate
floors 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.

Interest rate floors are contracts with notional principal amounts that require
the seller, in exchange for a fee, to make payments to the purchaser if a
specified market interest rate falls below the fixed floor rate on specified 
future dates.

The notional or principal amount for swaps and floors do 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 and floor agreements. All
interest rate swap and floor counterparties are formally evaluated and
continually monitored for credit-quality.

At September 30, 1996, the Corporation's quarter-end position in interest rate
swaps and interest rate floors amounted to $250 million and $25 million,
respectively, in notional amount.  The swaps have terms which range from 2 to
5 years and are designated against variable rate commercial loans and the floor
has a term of five years and is designated against asset-backed available for
sale securities in order to reduce interest rate volatility.  The net fair
values of the interest rate swaps at September 30, 1996, was a positive $0.9 
million.  At September 30, 1996, the fair value of the interest rate floor was
a positive $0.1 million.  The impact of the interest rate swaps in the third 
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 impact of the interest rate floor was not material.

The net interest margin as a percent of average earning assets declined 17 basis
points from 4.20% in the third quarter of 1995 to 4.03% in the current quarter.
The yield on average earning assets decreased 21 basis points while the cost of
interest bearing liabilities decreased 6 basis points.  The cost of interest 
bearing deposits decreased slightly in the third quarter of 1996 compared to the
same period last year.  The average cost of short-term borrowings decreased 28
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 15 basis
points which reflects the maturity and conversion of higher cost debt.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES AND CREDIT QUALITY
- --------------------------------------------
At September 30, 1996, nonperforming assets were $82.0 million compared to $98.1
million at June 30, 1996, and $69.6 million at September 30, 1995.  Nonaccrual
loans, the largest component of nonperforming assets, decreased $15.0 million
since the second quarter and increased $14.7 million since September 30, 1995. 
Renegotiated loans decreased $1.1 million while loans past due 90 days or more
increased $0.8 million since June 30, 1996.  Since September 30, 1995,
renegotiated loans decreased $1.4 million and loans past due 90 days increased
$1.2 million.  Other real estate owned decreased $0.9 million since the second
quarter and decreased $2.2 million since September 30, 1995

During the third quarter of 1996 each loan type experienced a decrease in
nonaccrual loans compared to the second quarter except for personal loans which
increased $0.2 million and residential mortgage loans which increased $0.9
million.  Nonaccrual commercial real estate loans were relatively unchanged
while nonaccrual commercial loans and leases decreased $15.9 million.  One large
commercial credit placed on nonaccrual at the Corporation's lead bank during the
first quarter was partially charged-off during the third quarter which accounts
for approximately $12 million of the decline in nonaccrual commercial loans and
leases since June 30, 1996.

Net charge-offs in the third quarter of 1996 amounted to $15.1 million or 0.66%
of average loans compared to 1.5 million or 0.07% of average loans in the second
quarter of 1996 and $0.8 million or 0.03% of average loans in the third quarter
of 1995.  Commercial loan charge-offs, as previously discussed, and commercial
real estate net charge-offs of $0.9 million account for the majority of the
increase in net charge-off activity during the third quarter of 1996.

The allowance for loan losses amounted to $152.8 million or 1.64% of total loans
at September 30, 1996, compared to $163.9 million or 1.82% at June 30, 1996, and
$164.3 million or 1.80% at September 30, 1995.  The coverage ratio of the
allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans was 269% at September 30, 1995,
181% at June 30, 1996 and 202% at September 30, 1996.

The Corporation believes that the current reserve and provision levels continue
to be adequate.  The provision for loan losses amounted to $4.0 million in the
third quarter of 1996 compared to $3.5 million in the second quarter of 1996 and
$4.1 million in the third quarter of 1995.

OTHER INCOME
- ------------
Total other income in the third quarter of 1996 amounted to $123.5 million, an
increase of $14.6 million or 13.4%, compared to $108.9 million in the same
period last year.

Data processing services revenue increased $14.7 million or 26.6% from $55.1 
million in the third quarter of 1995 to $69.7 million in the current quarter.
Processing revenue increased $8.1 million or 19.4% while software revenue
remained relatively unchanged.  Buyout fees, which can vary from period to
period, increased $1.5 million. Revenue from unique services such as contract
programming and consulting increased $4.9 million.  Compared to the second
quarter of 1996, total data processing services revenue increased $3.8 million
or 5.7%.  Significant components of the quarter over quarter increase include
increased processing revenue, $2.8 million and increased revenue from unique 
services $1.2 million.

Trust services revenue amounted to $17.6 million in the third quarter of 1996,
an increase of $1.6 million or 10.4% compared to $16.0 million in the third
quarter of 1995.

Other customer services increased $1.4 million or 4.7% and totaled $29.2 million
in the third quarter of 1996 compared to $27.8 million in the same period one
year ago.  Service charges on deposits of $13.1 million increased $0.6 million
or 4.5%.

The effects of net securities transactions in the third quarter of 1996 were not
significant.  During the third quarter of 1995, the Corporation realized gains
of $1.3 million primarily from the sale of equity securities.

<PAGE>
Other income amounted to $7.0 million in the third quarter of 1996 compared to
$8.8 million in the third quarter of 1995, a decrease of $1.8 million or 20.4%.
Gains from the sale of residential mortgage loans that include servicing rights
decreased $1.5 million.


OTHER EXPENSE
- -------------
Total other expenses in the third quarter of 1996 amounted to $178.5 million,
an increase of $27.6 million or 18.3% compared to $150.9 million  in the same
period last year.  Special charges, which include the SAIF assessment of $2.8
million and write-off of acquired in-process technology in conjunction with the
EastPoint acquisition of $12.1 million account for $14.9 million of the increase
in total other expenses.  Excluding the special charges, total other expenses
increased $12.7 million or 8.4%.

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 the EastPoint acquisition, the cost of 
adding processing capacity, certain costs associated with developing new
products and technology and the software maintenance costs to handle the year
2000 in order to meet the ever-changing needs of its new and existing customers
as efficiently and effectively as possible.  It is anticipated that new product
development and year 2000 maintenance costs will continue to increase in future
periods.

Expenses of the Corporation's banks in the third 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 the effect of deposit insurance premiums decreased 0.9% in the
third quarter of 1996 compared to the second quarter of 1996 and increased 3.3%
compared to the third quarter of 1995.

Salaries and employee benefits expense which accounts for over one-half of total
other expenses, amounted to $96.5 million in the third quarter of 1996 compared
to $88.8 million in the third quarter of 1995, an increase of $7.8 million or
8.8%. Approximately, $0.3 million of the increase reflects severance and other
related costs associated with the implementation of the banking initiatives
described above.  Salaries and employee benefits expense of Data Services
increased $7.9 million or 22.9% in the current quarter compared to the same
period last year.  At September 30, 1996, Data Services had approximately 189
more employees when compared to September 30, 1995. Approximately 23% of the 
employee increase relates to the EastPoint acquisition.

Net occupancy expense increased $0.4 million or 4.7% and equipment expense
increased $2.5 million or 14.6%, in the third quarter of 1996 compared to the
same period last year.  Data Services expense growth accounted for 
approximately $2.6 million or 90% of the combined expense growth in these
categories.

The increase in payments to regulatory agencies reflects the SAIF assessment 
previously discussed.

<PAGE>
Professional services expense amounted to $3.8 million in the third quarter of
1996 compared to $5.0 million in the third quarter of 1995, a decrease of $1.2
million or 22.9%.  Approximately $0.5 million of the decline represents costs
associated with ARM loan securitizations which were incurred in the third
quarter of 1995.  The remaining decline is attributable to the decrease in costs
incurred for technological assistance in software development such as Data
Service's data warehouse project.

Other expense, excluding the write-off of acquired in-process technology
attributable to the EastPoint acquisition, increased 14.1% or $3.1 million in
the third quarter of 1996 compared to the third quarter of 1995.  Data Services
contributed $2.1 million or 68% of the expense growth.  Advertising, promotion
and development and customer related expense increased $0.9 million or 19.6% of
which approximately $0.6 million is related to the banking affiliates.


INCOME TAXES
- ------------
The provision for income taxes for the three months ended September 30, 1996,
amounted to $22.3 million compared to $28.3 million for the three months ended
September 30, 1995. The decline in the effective tax rate is primarily
attributable to the increase in income exempt from Federal income taxes.


NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 AND 1995
- ---------------------------------------------
Net income for the first three quarters of 1996 amounted to $141.6 million
compared to $141.0 million for the same period in 1995.  Primary and fully
diluted earnings per share amounted to $1.43 and $1.40, respectively, for the
nine months ended September 30, 1996, compared with $1.43 and $1.38 per share
respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 1995. The year to date 
return on average equity through September 30, was 14.83% in the current year
and 16.28% last year.  The year to date return on average assets was 1.41% in
the current period compared to 1.49% for the comparative period last year.

Excluding the special charges previously discussed, income for the nine months
ended September 30, 1996 would have been $151.2 million or $1.53 and $1.50 per
share on a primary and fully diluted basis, respectively.  The return on average
equity before special charges amounted to 16.96% 

<PAGE>
The following table presents a summarized view of each of the major elements of
the consolidated income statement for the first nine months of 1996 and 1995 
stated as a percent of average consolidated assets and converted to a fully
taxable equivalent where appropriate.  Year to date data for the current year
is before the special charges previously discussed.

Excluding special charges, the increase in income is primarily due to
noninterest revenue growth, slower 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 8.80% of total consolidated assets
at September 30, 1996, compared to $1.26 billion and 9.43% at December 31,
1995, and $1.22 billion and 9.41% at September 30,1995.

Net unrealized gains on securities available for sale decreased $17.2 million
since December 31, 1995, and decreased $6.1 million since September 30, 1995.

The Corporation continued to acquire common shares in accordance with the
Stock Repurchase Program approved by its Board of Directors.  During the
third quarter of 1996,  1.1 million shares of common stock were acquired with
an aggregate cost of $30.7 million.  Since inception of the program 15.7
million common shares have been acquired with a cumulative cost of  $364.3
million.

The Corporation continues to have a strong capital base and its regulatory
capital ratios  are significantly above the minimum requirements as shown in the
following tables as of September 30, 1996.
