                         Notes to Financial Statements - Continued

                            June 30, 1997 & 1996 (Unaudited)


 5.  On March 31, 1997 and April 1, 1996, $16.8 million 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 each in separate
     transactions.  The common stock acquired by conversion of the notes were
     each 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.

 6.  In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
     Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings
     Per Share."  This statement establishes new standards for computing and
     presenting earnings per share ("EPS").  SFAS No. 128 supersedes
     Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 15, "Earnings Per Share" and
     purports to simplify the standards for computing EPS and makes them
     comparable to international standards.

     SFAS No. 128 replaces the presentation of primary EPS with a presentation
     of basic EPS which excludes dilution and requires dual presentation of
     basic and diluted EPS for all entities with complex capital structures. 
     Diluted EPS is computed similarly to fully diluted EPS pursuant to the
     previous standard.

     The Corporation is required to adopt the new standard in its year-end
     1997 financial statements.  All prior period EPS information (including
     interim EPS) is required to be restated at that time.  Early adoption is
     not permitted.

     The pro forma impact of adopting SFAS No. 128 is as follows:

 8.  Interest Risk Management Instruments - The Securities and Exchange
     Commission recently adopted new rules that require expanded disclosure of
     accounting policies for derivative financial instruments.  The following
     accounting policy disclosures supplement the disclosures included in
     Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of the Notes to
     Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 8 of the
     Corporation's 1996 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A.

     At the present time, interest rate swaps are the primary derivative
     interest rate management instrument used for asset/liability management.
     Options (caps and floors) are also used for asset/liability purposes
     however, these contracts are not currently material to the Corporation's
     financial condition or net income.

                         Notes to Financial Statements - Continued

                            June 30, 1997 & 1996 (Unaudited)


     The hedge accounting method is applied to interest rate swaps that meet
     the hedge criteria which is discussed below.  Under this method, accrued
     income or expense associated with the swap is recognized as a component
     of the interest income or expense of the hedged asset or liability. 
     Unrealized gains and losses are recognized on a basis that is consistent
     with the method of accounting for the hedged asset or liability. 
     Unrealized gains or losses are not recognized for hedged assets or
     liabilities carried at amortized cost. Unrealized gains and losses on
     hedged assets and liabilities which are carried at fair value are
     reported as a component of shareholders' equity, net of applicable income
     tax effects.

     The criteria to qualify an interest rate swap for the hedge accounting
     method is as follows:

          1.   The swap must be designated as a hedge and reduce the
               interest rate risk of the designated asset or liability.

          2.   The notional amount of the swap must be less than or equal to 
               the amortized cost of the asset or liability to be hedged.

          3.   The swap must achieve its intended objective of converting
               the yield on the hedged asset or liability to the desired
               rate.  This criteria is assumed to have been met if the
               interest rate on the hedged asset or liability is identical
               to the offsetting rate on the swap.  If the two rates are not
               identical, the correlation between the levels of the two
               rates since inception of the swap must be measured to ensure
               that the swap is meeting its intended objective.

     If an interest risk management instrument is terminated or ceases to
     qualify for the hedge accounting method, any realized or unrealized gain
     or loss at that time is deferred and amortized over the remaining period
     of the original hedge.  Any subsequent realized or unrealized gains or
     losses on instruments that no longer meet the hedge criteria are included
     in the determination of net income.  If the item being hedged is sold,
     any deferred or unrealized gain or loss on the interest risk management
     instrument at the time of sale is considered in the determination of the
     gain or loss on the sale.  If the interest risk management instrument is
     not terminated, it must be carried at fair vale on a prospective basis,
     with changes in fair value included in the determination of periodic net
     income.

     Cash flows from interest risk management instruments are reported in the
     consolidated statement of cash flows as operating activities.

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

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 AND 1996
- -----------------------------------------
Net income for the second quarter of 1997 amounted to $56.6 million compared to
$50.4 million for the same period in the prior year.  Primary and fully diluted
earnings per share were both $.58 for the three months ended June 30, 1997,
compared with $.51 and $.50, respectively for the three months ended June 30,
1996. The return on average assets and average equity were 1.53% and 17.37% for
the quarter ended June 30, 1997 and 1.52% and 15.87% for the quarter ended June
30, 1996.

The increase in net income of $6.2 million or 12.4% in the current quarter
compared with the same quarter last year reflects the growth in noninterest
income and the increase in net interest income offset somewhat by an increase
in the provision for loan losses and the increase in noninterest expense.

The following tables present a summary of each of the major elements of the
consolidated operating income statement, certain financial statistics and a
summary of  the major operating 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. 
Operating income excludes approximately $9.6 million ($.10 per share fully
diluted) of special charges relating to the one-time SAIF assessment and write-
off of in-process technology associated with the acquisition of EastPoint
Technology, Inc. which occurred during the third quarter of 1996.

The following table reconciles operating income to operating income before
amortization of intangibles ("tangible operating income"). Amortization includes
amortization of goodwill and core deposit premiums and is net of negative
goodwill accretion and the income tax expense or benefit, if any, related to
each component.  These calculations were specifically formulated by the
Corporation and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by

NET INTEREST INCOME
- -------------------
Net interest income for the second quarter of 1997 amounted to $133.2  million,
an increase of $9.3 million or 7.5% from the $123.9 million reported for the
second quarter of 1996.  The increase in the volume of average earning assets
contributed approximately $28.0 million while the increase in yield on earning
assets contributed approximately $3.3 million of the increase in interest
income. The increase in the volume of average interest bearing liabilities
contributed approximately $15.0 million and the increase in the cost on interest
bearing liabilities contributed approximately $7.0 million to the increase in
interest expense.

Average earning assets increased $1.5 billion or 11.9% in the second quarter of
1997 compared to the same period a year ago.  Including securitized adjustable
rate mortgage loans (ARMS), average loans grew approximately $912.4 million or
9.8% compared to the second quarter of last year. Average securities, excluding
securitized ARMs, increased $531.1 million which reflects the Corporation's
intent, initiated in the prior year, to increase the portfolio size with higher
yielding and longer-term securities to adjust the rate sensitivity and leverage
the consolidated balance sheet. During the second quarter of 1997, the
Corporation's banking affiliates repositioned investment securities through the
sale and purchase of approximately $337 million of securities available for
sale.

Average interest bearing liabilities increased $1.3 billion or 13.6%  in the
second quarter of 1997 compared to the same period in 1996.  Average interest
bearing deposits increased $645.4 million or 8.1% ,average short-term borrowings
increased  $939.9 million while average long-term borrowings decreased $258.0 
million or 35.1%.  Average noninterest bearing deposits increased $117.9  
million  or 5.8% during the second quarter of 1997 compared to the second
quarter of 1996.

During the second quarter of 1997, the remaining $25 million of the
Corporation's banking subsidiaries' Bank Notes matured and were refinanced
primarily with short-term borrowings and brokered certificates of deposit. Also
during the second quarter, the Corporation began issuing Series C and Series D
Medium Term Notes in order to refinance approximately $ 87 million of Series B
and Series C Medium Term Notes which will mature during the remainder of 1997
and 1998.

Money market savings and brokered CDs exhibited the greatest growth when
comparing average deposits in the second quarter of 1997 to the second quarter
of 1996. The money market index account increased $342.6 million or 21.8% and
averaged $1.9 billion in the second quarter of 1997 compared with $1.6 billion
during the same period last year.  During the second quarter of 1997, the
Corporation began issuing brokered CDs which are callable at the option of the
Corporation in addition to other brokered CDs. Concurrently with the callable
issue, the Corporation entered into receive fixed interest rate swaps which are
callable at the option of the counterparty. The increase in brokered CDs
represents the Corporation's intent to acquire longer-term CDs with maturities
of one year or more in order to provide a stable source of funds that over time
is less costly than Bank Notes.  The brokered callable CDs provide term
liquidity at rates below LIBOR.<PAGE>

The net interest margin as a percent of average earning assets declined 14 basis
points from 4.19% in the second quarter of 1996 to 4.05% in the current quarter.
The yield on average earning assets increased 10 basis points while the cost of
interest bearing liabilities increased 23 basis points.  The cost of interest
bearing deposits increased 18 basis points while short-term borrowing costs
increased 40 basis points. The cost of long-term borrowings increased 75 basis
points which reflects, in part, the issuance of $200 million of 7.65% cumulative
preferred capital securities in December, 1996.

At June 30, 1997, the Corporation had standard receive fixed/pay floating
interest rate swaps and interest rate floors designated as hedges to manage the
interest rate volatility associated with variable rate loans and the convexity
risk associated with investments in collateralized mortgage obligations. In
addition, the Corporation had a callable receive fixed / pay floating interest
rate swap designated as a hedge to offset the brokered callable CDs previously
discussed.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES AND CREDIT QUALITY
- --------------------------------------------
At June 30, 1997, nonperforming assets were $71.4 million compared to $77.6
million at March 31, 1997 and $98.1 million at June 30, 1996.  Nonaccrual loans,
the largest component of nonperforming assets, decreased $5.9 million since the
first quarter and decreased $23.6 million since June 30, 1996.  Other real
estate owned, loans past due 90 days or more and renegotiated loans all
decreased since March 31, 1997.  Compared to June 30, 1996, renegotiated loans
decreased $1.3 million, loans past due 90 days or more were relatively unchanged
and other real estate owned decreased $1.7 million.

Total nonaccrual commercial loans and leases decreased $5.3 million since the
first quarter and decreased $24.3 million since June 30, 1996.  Nonaccrual
commercial loans and leases are substantially responsible for the decrease in
nonperforming assets at June 30, 1997 compared to nonperforming assets at March
31, 1997.  Since the first quarter, nonaccrual real estate loans and nonaccrual
personal loans have also declined to a lesser extent.

Net charge-offs in the second quarter of 1997 amounted to $3.3 million or .14%
of average loans compared to $5.6 million or .24% of average loans in the first
quarter of 1997 and $1.5 million or .07% of average loans in the second quarter
of 1996.  Four larger commercial loans accounted for approximately $1.8 million
of the net charge-off activity during the second quarter of 1997.

The allowance for loan losses amounted to $155.6 million or 1.57% of total loans
at June 30, 1997 compared to $154.6 million or 1.61% at March 31, 1997 and
$163.9 million or 1.82% at June 30, 1996.  The coverage ratio of the allowance
for loan losses to nonperforming loans was 236% at June 30, 1997 compared with
215% at March 31, 1997 and 181% at June 30, 1996.

The provision for loan losses amounted to $4.3 million in the second quarter of
1997 compared to $3.5 million in the second quarter of 1996.  The increase is
primarily due to loan growth.

OTHER INCOME
- ------------
Total other income in the second quarter of 1997 amounted to $138.6 million, an
increase of $18.0 million or 14.9%, compared to $120.6 million in the same
period last year.

Data  processing revenue increased $16.3 million or 24.7% from $66.0 million in
the second quarter of 1996 to $82.3 million in the current quarter. Processing 
revenue increased $14.8 million or 33.1%.  Software revenue increased $1.6
million which reflects, in part, the purchase acquisition of EastPoint
Technology, Inc. which occurred in the third quarter of 1996.  Buyout fees,
which can vary from period to period, increased $.5 million  while conversion
fees decreased $.5 million.  Revenues from unique services such as contract
programming and consulting increased $2.0 million.  Compared to the first
quarter of 1997, revenue from data processing services increased $2.1 million
or 2.7% which includes a $2.3 million decrease in buyout fees.

Trust services revenue amounted to $18.8 million in the second quarter of 1997,
an increase of $1.3 million or 7.3% compared to $17.5 million in the second
quarter of 1996.  While all components of trust services revenue experienced an
increase, personal trust fees increased $.6 million while corporate trust fees
increased $.4 million.

Other customer services increased $.8 million or 2.7% and totaled $29.5 million
in the second quarter of 1997 compared to $28.7 million in the same period one
year ago.  Service charges on deposits of $13.2 million increased $.2 million
and credit card fees increased $.5 million from the prior year.

Net securities gains in the second quarter of 1997 and 1996 were not
significant.

All other income amounted to $8.0 million in the second quarter of 1997 compared
to $8.2 million in the second quarter of 1996.  Gains from the sale of
residential mortgage loans which includes the servicing rights declined $.5
million while gains from the sale of student loans increased $.2 million.

OTHER EXPENSE
- -------------
Total other expenses in the second quarter of 1997 amounted to $182.5 million,
an increase of $18.3 million or 11.2% compared to $164.2 million in the same
period last year.

The increase in expenses is primarily attributable to the Corporation's
nonbanking businesses especially its Data Services segment ("Data Services"). 
Data Services expense growth reflects the impact of the acquisition of EastPoint
Technology, Inc., the cost of adding  processing capacity and other related
costs associated with increased revenue growth and maintenance activities
associated with the Year 2000.  It is estimated that the net cost to change
existing computer programs for both internal and external software to comply
with the Year 2000 will be approximately $25 million.  It is anticipated that
a substantial portion of the total cost will be incurred over the next two years
and will be expensed as incurred.  Data Services incurred approximately $2
million of expense in all of 1996 and in 1997 incurred approximately $2.2
million of expense in the first quarter and approximately $3.5 million in the
second quarter related to the Year 2000.  Future data processing revenue is
critically dependent upon the successful implementation of the necessary
changes.

Expenses of the Corporation's banks throughout all of 1996 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.
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
Salaries and employee benefits expense amounted to $107.9 million in the second
quarter of 1997 compared to $93.2 million in the second quarter of 1996, an
increase of $14.7 million or 15.7%.  Salaries and employee benefits expense of
Data Services increased $14.1 million or 36.7% in the current quarter compared
to the same period last year.  At June 30, 1997  Data Services had approximately
624 more employees when compared to June 30, 1996 which reflects, in part, the
addition of EastPoint Technology, Inc. and four datacenters.  In addition,
expense associated with contract programmers and other temporary help increased
$2.9 million over the comparative periods.

Data Services expense growth accounted for approximately 78% of the increase in
net occupancy, equipment, software expenses, processing charges and supplies and
printing in the second quarter of 1997 compared to the second quarter of 1996. 
The decrease in professional services expense of $.5 million in the current
quarter compared with the same period last year is also primarily attributable
to Data Services.

All other expense decreased 5.2% or $1.3 million from $24.9 million in the
second quarter of 1996 to $23.6 million in the second quarter of 1997. Credit
card franchise and authorization fees increased $.8 million .  Travel expenses
also increased $.9 million. The increase in travel was attributable to Data
Services. In addition to the above, this category of expense is affected by the
capitalization of costs, net of amortization, associated with software
development and data processing conversions.  The amount of cost capitalized,
net of amortization in the second quarter of 1997, was $3.1 million more than
the amount recorded in the second quarter of the prior year.  Approximately $2.7
million of the increase was due to software development.


INCOME TAXES
- ------------
The provision for income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 1997 amounted
to $28.4 million compared to $26.4 million for the three months ended June 30,
1996. The decrease in the effective tax rate is primarily due to the increase
in interest income exempt from Federal income taxes.


SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 AND 1996
- ---------------------------------------
Net income for the first half of 1997 amounted to $111.4 million compared to
$96.5 million in the first half of 1996, an increase of 15.4%.  Primary and
fully diluted earnings per share were $1.15 and $1.14, respectively for the six
months ended June 30, 1997 compared to $.98 and $.96, respectively for the same
period last year.  The year to date return on average equity was 17.38% in the
current period and 15.27% for the six months ended June 30, 1996.<PAGE>
