NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in thousands, except per share information)
NOTE 1- CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements of BanPonce Corporation include
the balance sheet of the Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Vehicle
Equipment Leasing Company, Inc., Popular International Bank, Inc. and its
wholly-owned subsidiaries BanPonce Financial Corp., Spring Financial Services,
Inc. and Pioneer Bancorp, Inc. (second tier subsidiaries), and Banco Popular de
Puerto Rico and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Popular Leasing and Rental, Inc.
and Popular Consumer Services, Inc., as of June 30, 1994 and December 31, 1993
and their related statements of income and cash flows for the semesters ended
June 30, 1994 and 1993. These statements are, in the opinion of management, a
fair statement of the results of the periods presented. These results are
unaudited, but include all necessary adjustments for a fair presentation of
such results.
NOTE 2- ACCOUNTING CHANGES
During the first quarter of 1994 the Corporation adopted SFAS 115 "Accounting
for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities." SFAS 115 requires
financial institutions to divide their securities holdings among three
categories: held-to-maturity, available-for-sale and trading securities. Those
securities which management has the positive intent and ability to hold to
maturity will be classified as held-to-maturity and will be carried at cost.
Those that are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in
the near term, will be classified as trading and will continue to be reported
at fair value with unrealized gains and losses included in earnings. All other
securities will be classified as available-for-sale and will be reported at
fair value with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported
as a separate component of shareholders' equity. As a result of the adoption of
this statement, the Corporation's stockholders' equity at June 30, 1994
reflects $6.6 million, net of taxes, in unrealized holding losses on securities
available for sale.
Effective January 1, 1993, the Corporation implemented the Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 106, "Employers Accounting for
Postretirement Benefits other than Pensions", and SFAS 109, "Accounting for
Income Taxes". Under SFAS 106 the cost of retiree health care and other
postretirement benefits is accrued during employees' service periods. The
Corporation elected to recognize the full transition obligation, which is the
portion of future retiree benefit costs related to service already rendered by
both active and retired employees up to the date of adoption, in the first
quarter of 1993 rather than amortize it over future periods. The cumulative
effect, net of taxes, of this accounting change amounted to $22.7 million, or
$0.70 per share. The SFAS 109 established accounting and reporting standards
for the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax
consequences of temporary differences between the amount of assets and
liabilities for financial reporting purposes and such amounts as measured by
tax laws. The cumulative effect of this change resulted in a credit to income
of $28.9 million, or $0.89 per share. This amount is net of a valuation
allowance of approximately $2.1 million related to a deferred tax asset arising
from net operating loss carryforwards for which the Corporation cannot
determine the likelihood that they will be realized.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
This financial review contains an analysis of the performance of BanPonce
Corporation (the Corporation) and its subsidiaries Banco Popular de Puerto Rico
(Banco Popular), including its wholly-owned subsidiaries Popular Leasing and
Rental, Inc. (Popular Leasing) and Popular Consumer Services, Inc., Vehicle
Equipment Leasing Company, Inc. (VELCO), and Popular International Bank, Inc.
and its wholly owned subsidiaries BanPonce Financial Corp. (BanPonce
Financial), Spring Financial Services, Inc. (Spring) and Pioneer Bancorp, Inc.
(Pioneer), second tier subsidiaries. Pioneer was acquired on March 31, 1994.
This financial review should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements, supplemental financial data and tables contained herein.
NET INCOME
Net earnings increased to $31.7 million during the second quarter of
1994 from the $27.5 million reported for the second quarter of 1993. Net
earnings also increased 10% from the $28.7 million reported during the first
quarter of 1994. The rise in earnings relates principally to a higher net
interest income and a lower provision for loan losses, partially offset by
higher operating expenses.
Net earnings for the quarter were $0.96 per share, based on 32,784,747 average
shares outstanding, as compared with $0.84 per share for the second quarter of
1993, based on 32,689,778 average shares outstanding. Return on assets (ROA)
and return on equity (ROE) for the quarter ended June 30, 1994 were 1.03% and
14.59%, respectively, compared with 1.05% and 14.09% reported for the second
quarter of 1993.
For the first six months of 1994, the Corporation's net earnings rose to $60.4
million, compared with $53.0 million reported during the same period of 1993.
The results for 1993 include $6.2 million in additional revenues which resulted
from the implementation of two new accounting principles (SFAS 106 and 109).
Earnings per share for the six-month period ended June 30, 1994 were $1.84,
based on 32,770,562 average shares outstanding during the period, compared with
$1.62 per share, based on 32,681,001 average shares outstanding during the same
period of 1993. Excluding the cumulative effect of the changes in accounting
principles adopted during the first quarter of 1993, earnings per share were
$1.43 for the first six months of 1993.
ROA and ROE for the first six months of 1994 were 1.02% and 14.19%,
respectively, compared with 1.04% and 13.85% obtained during the first six
months of 1993.
NET INTEREST INCOME
Net interest income for the quarter ended June 30, 1994 increased $12.4
million, from $122.7 million for the second quarter of 1993 to $135.1 million.
On a taxable equivalent basis, net interest income rose to $146.4 million for
the second quarter of 1994, from $135.8 million for the same quarter of 1993.
The improved net interest
<PAGE> 14
14
income is the net effect of a $23.1 million increase due to the growth and
change in the composition of average earning assets and a $12.4 million
decrease due to lower taxable equivalent yields. For analytical purposes, the
interest earned on tax exempt assets is adjusted to a "taxable equivalent"
basis assuming the statutory income tax rate of 42%.
Average earning assets increased $1.8 billion, reaching $11.4 billion
for the second quarter of 1994, compared with $9.7 billion for the same quarter
of 1993. This increase was mainly in mortgage and commercial loans. The
increase in mortgage loans was due to the significant mortgage loan origination
and refinancing activity during 1993 and the beginning of 1994 in Banco Popular
and Spring, and the acquisition of several mortgage loan portfolios in the U.S.
mainland. Approximately $435 million in mortgage loans have been purchased
during the fifteen-month period ended on March 31, 1994. As a result of these,
average mortgage loans almost doubled, reaching $1.9 billion for the second
quarter of 1994 compared with $1.0 billion for the second quarter of 1993.
Average commercial and construction loans increased $492 million, from $2.7
billion for the second quarter of 1993 to $3.2 billion for the second quarter
of 1994. Also, average investment securities increased from $4.0 billion for
the second quarter of 1993 to $4.4 billion for the second quarter of 1994. The
increase resulted mainly from higher levels of mortgage pass-through securities
acquired principally for the New York operations of Banco Popular and higher
levels of tax exempt securities.
The average yield on earning assets, on a taxable equivalent basis, decreased
36 basis points to 8.07%, compared with 8.43% for the second quarter of 1993.
The average yield on loans, on a taxable equivalent basis, was 9.41% for the
second quarter of 1994, a decrease of 43 basis points when compared with 9.84%
reported for the same quarter in 1993. This is principally due to the
significant volume of refinancings, originations and purchases of mortgage
loans realized during the low interest rate environment that prevailed in 1993
and the beginning of 1994, which resulted in a reduction of 142 basis points in
the taxable equivalent yield of the mortgage loan portfolio. On the other
hand, the yield on commercial loans increased as a result of the repricing of
approximately 60% of the commercial loan portfolio whose yield floats with the
prime rate. The prime rate has increased 125 basis points since March 1994.
The yield on investment securities decreased from 6.76% reported during the
second quarter of 1993 to 6.01% in 1994, due to the maturity and replacement
of higher yielding tax-free securities during a lower interest rate
environment.
Average interest bearing liabilities for the quarter ended June 30, 1994 were
$9.4 billion, an 18.8% increase when compared with $7.9 billion reported for
the same quarter in 1993. For the quarter ended June 30, 1994, average
short-term borrowings were $1.8 billion, an increase of $555 million when
compared with the $1.3 billion reported during the same quarter in 1993. This
increase is mostly related to a higher volume of arbitrage activities performed
by Banco Popular and a higher level of medium-term notes issued by BanPonce
Financial to finance Spring's operations. Interest-bearing deposits rose $750
million or 11.7%, mostly in savings accounts which increased $455 million. Non-
interest bearing deposits also increased by $245 million or 15.6% to $1.8
billion. The increase in total deposits relates primarily to the expansion of
the Corporation's activities during the latter part of 1993 and the beginning
of 1994. The acquisition of Pioneer on March 31, 1994 added
<PAGE> 15
15
$292.7 million in deposits and other deposit acquisitions realized during the
last six months of 1993 in New York and the Virgin Islands added $401.6
million.
The average cost of interest bearing liabilities increased 13 basis points,
from 3.45% for the second quarter of 1993 to 3.58% for the second quarter of
1994. The average cost of interest bearing deposits for the second quarter of
1994 remained stable at 3.38%, compared with 3.39% for the same quarter of
1993. However, the average cost of short-term borrowings increased 67 basis
points when compared to the average cost reported during the second quarter of
1993. The rise in the average cost of funds resulted from the higher interest
rate scenario that prevailed during the second quarter of 1994. The net
interest yield, on a taxable equivalent basis, was 5.12% for the second quarter
of 1994, decreasing 48 basis points from 5.60% reported for the quarter ended
June 30, 1993. For the first quarter of 1994, the net interest yield, on a
taxable equivalent basis, was 5.07%.
For the six-month period ended June 30, 1994, net interest income amounted to
$260.5 million, an increase of $20 million from the $240.5 million reported for
the same period in 1993. On a taxable equivalent basis, net interest income
rose to $283.3 million for such period, from $265.8 million for the same period
in 1993. This rise is composed of a $42.4 million increase due to the growth
and change in the composition of average earning assets and a $24.9 million
decrease due to lower after tax yields.

As presented in Table A, the yield on earning assets, on a taxable equivalent
basis, declined 53 basis points, from 8.46% for the first half of 1993 to 7.93%
for the same period in 1994. The Corporation's average cost of interest bearing
liabilities for the six-month periods ended June 30, 1994 and 1993 was 3.45%
and 3.48%, respectively. The net interest yield, on a taxable equivalent basis,
was 5.09% for the first six months of 1994 compared with 5.61% for the same
period in 1993.
PROVISION AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
The Corporation's provision for loan losses was $14 million for the
quarter ended June 30, 1994, compared with $19.2 million for the same quarter
of 1993, a reduction of $5.2 million or 26.8%. For the six months ended June
30, 1994, the provision for loan losses decreased $13.0 million or 32%, from
$40.7 million for the same period of 1993 to $27.7 million. This reduction is
the result of an improvement in loan quality and the reduced level of
charge-offs in the portfolios. Notwithstanding the reduction in the provision
for loan losses, the Corporation continues maintaining an adequate allowance
level.
As presented in Table B, net charge-offs for the second quarter of 1994 totaled
$8.6 million or 0.49% of average loans, as compared with $13.8 million or 1.01%
for the same quarter in 1993 and $9.6 million or 0.60% for the first quarter of
1994. Consumer loans net charge-offs decreased 46.8% for the quarter ended June
30, 1994, from $4.3 million for the second quarter of 1993 to $2.3 million.
Lease financing and construction loans net charge-offs also showed a decrease
of $1.7 million and $1.2 million, respectively, as compared with the same
period of 1993. Commercial loans net charge-offs reflected a slight reduction
of $0.5 million, while mortgage loans net charge-offs increased $0.2 million.

</TABLE>
For the six-month period ended June 30, 1994, net charge-offs amounted to $18.2
million, reflecting a decline of 39.9% as compared with $30.3 million recorded
a year ago. For these periods net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans
were 0.54% and 1.13%, respectively. Consumer loans net charge-offs decreased
$4.5 million as compared with the first six months of 1993, while commercial,
construction and lease financing net charge-offs declined $3.2 million, $2.6
million and $2.1 million, respectively.
At June 30, 1994, the allowance for loan losses was $146.4 million,
representing 2.03% of loans, as compared with $121.4 million or 2.10% at June
30, 1993. At March 31, 1994 the allowance was $140.9 million or 2.07% of loans.
Although the ratio of allowance to loans shows a small decrease, the
Corporation continues enjoying a strong allowance position since most of the
increase in loans has been experienced
<PAGE> 17
17
in the mortgage loan portfolio where the Corporation, based on its historical
experience and expected economic conditions, does not foresee significant
losses.

</TABLE>
CREDIT QUALITY
The Corporation reports its non-performing assets on a more conservative basis
than most other U.S. banks. The Corporation's policy is to place commercial
loans on non-accrual status if payments of principal or interest are delinquent
60 days rather than the standard industry practice of 90 days. Financing
leases, conventional mortgages and closed-end consumer loans are placed on
non-accrual status if payments are delinquent 90 days. Closed-end consumer
loans are charged-off against the allowance when delinquent 120 days. Open-end
(revolving credit) consumer loans are charged-off if payments are delinquent
180 days. Certain loans which would be
<PAGE> 18
18
treated as non-accrual loans pursuant to the foregoing policy, are treated as
accruing loans if they are considered well secured and in the process of
collection. Under the standard industry practice, closed-end consumer loans are
charged-off if delinquent 120 days, but these consumer loans are not
customarily placed on non-accrual status prior to being charged-off.
As of June 30, 1994, non-performing assets ("NPA"), which consist of past-due
loans on which no interest income is being accrued, renegotiated loans, other
real estate and in-substance foreclosed assets, amounted to $115.9 million or
1.60% of loans. NPA were $139.7 million or 2.42% of loans a year earlier and
$117.3 million or 1.72% at March 31, 1994.
Non-performing assets decreased $23.8 million or 17% when compared with June
30, 1993. Most of this reduction was in the non-performing commercial and
construction loans, which decreased $13.1 million due to improved collection
efforts of classified loans, and in the non-performing consumer loans which
declined $7.1 million. The Corporation was also able to reduce the other real
estate owned by $6.1 million through successful efforts in the disposition of
these properties. Table D presents NPA for the current and previous four
quarters.
Assuming the standard industry practice of placing commercial loans on
non-accrual status when payments are past due 90 days or more and excluding the
closed-end consumer loans from non-accruing loans, non-performing assets as of
June 30, 1994, amounted to $83.3 million or 1.15% of total loans. At that date,
the allowance for loan losses as a percent of adjusted non-performing assets
was 175.8%. These two ratios compare with 1.79% and 117.4% as of June 30, 1993,
and 1.31% and 158.5% at March 31, 1994.

</TABLE>
Accruing loans which are contractually past due 90 days or more as to principal
or interest amounted to $13.2 million at June 30, 1994, compared with $20.0
million at June 30, 1993, and $14.3 million at March 31, 1994. Renegotiated
loans at the end of this period amounted to $9.0 million of which $0.6 million
were in non-accrual status. All renegotiated loans are classified as
non-performing assets.
OTHER OPERATING INCOME
Other operating income, including securities and trading gains, increased to
$34.9 million for the second quarter of 1994 from $32.0 million reported for
the same period in 1993. For the six-month periods ended June 30, 1994 and
1993, these revenues were $68.4 million and $60.7 million, respectively.
<PAGE> 19
19
Of the total increase of $2.9 million in other income for the quarter, $2.3
million correspond to the rise in other service fees. Most of this increase was
achieved through mortgage loan sales and servicing activities performed by
Spring. Also, there was an increase in credit card fees and fees collected on
new services, such as the rental of point of sales terminals to retail outlets
and the sale of investment products at selected branches. For the first six
months of 1994, other service fees totaled $25.2 million, compared with $21.4
million for the same period of 1993.
Service charges on deposit accounts totaled $18.1 million for the three-month
period ended June 30, 1994, compared with $17.8 million reported during the
same period in 1993. For the six-month period ended June 30, 1994, service
charges on deposit accounts totaled $35.2 million, increasing $1.9 million from
the $33.3 million reported for the same period in 1993. The increase is mostly
related to the automated teller machine fees which were implemented in April of
1993 and to higher revenues on commercial checking accounts.
Other operating income reached $3.4 million for the second quarter of 1994,
compared with $2.9 million for the second quarter of 1993. For the six-month
periods ended June 30, 1994 and 1993, other operating income amounted to $7.4
million and $5.2 million, respectively. The increase relates primarily to an
adjustment of $1.4 million recorded during the first quarter of 1993 due to a
reduction in the market value of the excess mortgage servicing that resulted
from the sale of mortgages in 1992, compared with an adjustment of only $0.5
million in 1994. Also, the income of the leasing subsidiaries increased as a
result of an increase in volume.
OPERATING EXPENSES
Operating expenses for the second quarter of 1994 were $112.4 million compared
with $100.5 million for the same period of 1993, an increase of $11.9 million.
For the first six months of 1994, operating expenses increased to $219.0
million from $203.4 million for the same period in 1993.
Of the total increase in operating expenses for the first six months of 1994,
approximately $2 million is attributed to the operations acquired in September
of 1993 in the U.S. and British Virgin Islands and $2.6 million corresponds to
Pioneer, which was acquired on March 31, 1994.
Personnel costs increased to $56.9 million for the three-month period ended
June 30, 1994, a 6.9% increase when compared with $53.2 million reported during
the same period of 1993. For the six-month period ended June 30, 1994, these
expenses were $112.2 million compared with $110.3 million for the same period
of 1993. The increase in personnel costs for the first six months of 1994 is
due to the salaries of the acquired operations, amounting to approximately $1.7
million, the normal annual merit increases and the business expansion of
Spring. These increases are partially offset by the accrual of $2.4 million
recognized during the first six months of 1993 for a special bonus paid to the
employees of Banco Popular on its 100th anniversary.
Other operating expenses, excluding personnel costs, increased $8.3 million,
reaching $55.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1994, compared with $47.3
million for the same quarter in 1993. For the six-month period ended June 30,
1994, other operating expenses increased to $106.8 million from $93.1 million
reported for the same period in 1993. The major increases are reflected in
equipment expenses

and professional fees. Both are related to the efforts of the Corporation to
move from a paper-based operation to an electronic one and to provide a broader
variety of convenient products and services to customers. Also, the business
expansion has resulted in increases in net occupancy expense and amortization
of intangibles.
Income tax expense for the quarter ended June 30, 1994, reached $11.6 million,
compared with $7.3 million for the same quarter in 1993. The increase results
mainly from a higher operating income and a lower amount of exempt income from
securities, mainly due to the repricing of securities, as previously mentioned.
For the six-month period ended June 30, 1994, income tax expense reached $21.4
million, compared with $9.8 million reported for the same period in 1993.
BALANCE SHEET COMMENTS
The Corporation's total assets amounted to $12.8 billion at June 30, 1994 as
compared with $10.9 billion a year earlier, an increase of 17.3%. Total assets
at the end of 1993 were $11.5 billion. Average total assets for the first six
months of 1994 were $12.0 billion compared with $10.2 billion for the same
period of 1993. The Corporation's business expansion is the principal reason
for the increase in assets. The most recent one was on March 31, 1994 with the
acquisition of Pioneer, a full-service bank located in Chicago, operating two
branches with $333.7 million in assets and $292.7 million in deposits, at that
date.
At June 30, 1994, earning assets totaled $11.9 billion, compared with $10
billion at June 30, 1993. Earning assets at December 31, 1993 were $10.7
billion. Loans amounted to $7.2 billion at the end of the second quarter of
1994, compared with $5.8 billion at the same date in 1993 and $6.3 billion at
the end of 1993. Most of the increase in loans was recorded in the mortgage
loan portfolio, as previously explained, which grew $712 million, from $1.2
billion at June 30, 1993 to $1.9 billion at June 30, 1994. Furthermore,
mortgage loan figures include $54.8 million in loans acquired on September 30,
1993 as part of the operations purchased in the Virgin Islands. Commercial and
construction loans rose $499 million, mainly due to an increase of $400.5
million in Banco Popular's commercial loan portfolio and $115.7 million in
commercial loans acquired in Pioneer's transaction. The growth in the consumer
loan portfolio of $154.9 million was mainly due to the addition of $86 million
in portfolios in the aforementioned acquisitions and an increase in the
business activity due to the improvement in the economy. Lease financing
receivables increased $75.5 million as compared with June 30, 1993.
Total deposits were $9.1 billion at June 30, 1994, compared with $7.9 billion
at the same date of 1993. At December 31, 1993, total deposits amounted to $8.5
billion. The increase, when compared with June 1993, was mainly due to the
deposits acquired in the Pioneer transaction, which totaled $292.7 million, and
the deposits purchased during the last six months of 1993 in New York and
Virgin Islands, which amounted to $401.6 million.
Borrowings increased $577.5 million as compared with June 30, 1993. This rise
is mainly due to an increase of $381.8 million in federal funds purchased,
securities sold under agreements to repurchase and other short-term borrowings.
In addition, BanPonce Financial issued $285 million in additional medium-term
notes to finance Spring's operations.
<PAGE> 21
21
Subordinated notes decreased to $62 million from the $74 million outstanding a
year ago, due to the prepayment in December of 1993 of a 7.95% note. In
addition, the $11 million in preferred stock of Banco Popular were redeemed at
par value on June 30, 1994.
Stockholders' equity at June 30, 1994, amounted to $969.8 million, compared
with $793.0 million at June 30, 1993. On June 27, 1994, the Corporation issued
4,000,000 shares of non-cumulative preferred stock with a dividend rate of
8.35% and a liquidation preference value of $25. Through this issuance the
Corporation raised $96.7 million in additional capital which will allow it to
continue evaluating and undertaking business acquisitions while maintaining a
solid capital position. In addition to the issuance of the preferred stock, the
Corporation increased its stockholders' equity through earnings' retention and
through the issuance of common stock under the Dividend Reinvestment Plan.
Stockholders' equity at the end of the second quarter of 1994 includes an
allowance of $6.6 million, net of taxes, for unrealized losses on securities
available for sale, due to the implementation in the first quarter of 1994 of
SFAS 115 "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities".
Book value per common share rose to $26.53 at June 30, 1994 from $24.26 at June
30, 1993. The market value of the Corporation's common stock at June 30, 1994
was $31.25, compared with $26.25 at the same date last year. At the end of the
first six months of 1994, the Corporation had a total market capitalization of
$1.02 billion. The Corporation's Tier I, total capital and leverage ratios at
June 30, 1994, were 12.66%, 14.11% and 7.43%, respectively, as compared with
12.62%, 14.55% and 7.24%, at June 30, 1993.

TO OUR STOCKHOLDERS
________________________________________________________________________________
The economic environment for the first six months of 1994 has seen some
significant changes. Even though the Consumer Price Index has increased at an
annualized rate of less than 2.5%, fears of inflation have led the Federal
Reserve to increase the federal funds rate four times this year, and there are
already talks of future increases. This, in turn, has resulted in an increase
of 125 basis points in the prime rate. However, the full impact of the higher
rates on the economy should be felt later in the year.
The increase in rates has resulted in improved net interest income for many
financial institutions, but the volatility in the markets has placed even more
pressure to properly manage the asset and liability structure. Already we have
seen a reduction in the mortgage loans origination and refinancing activity, a
market sector which grew significantly during 1993.
At BanPonce Corporation results continue to be very encouraging. Net income
for the quarter ended June 30, 1994, amounted to $31.7 million, a 15.2% growth
over the $27.5 million reported for the second quarter of 1993. Earnings per
share for the quarter were $0.96, compared with $0.84 per share for the second
quarter of 1993. The performance ratios remain strong with returns of 1.03% on
assets (ROA) and 14.59% on shareholders' equity (ROE), as compared with 1.05%
and 14.09%, respectively, for the same quarter of 1993.
For the six-month period ended June 30, 1994, net income reached $60.4
million, or $1.84 per share, with an ROA of 1.02% and an ROE of 14.19%. For the
same period in 1993, net income was $53.0 million, or $1.62 per share, while
ROA and ROE were 1.04% and 13.85%, respectively. The results for 1993 include a
non-recurring income of $6.2 million income from the adoption of two new
accounting principles which changed the accounting requirements for income
taxes and postretirement medical benefits.
Net interest income for the first six months of 1994 totaled $260.5
million, an increase of 8.3% over the $240.5 million reported a year earlier.
This increase is mainly attributed to a growth of $1.8 billion in the average
volume of earning assets, principally in the portfolios of mortgage and
commercial loans.
Loan quality has continued to improve, resulting in a reduction of 32% or
$13 million in the provision for loan losses for the six-month period ended
June 30, 1994, as compared with the same period in 1993. Also, net charge-offs
decreased $12.1 million from the $30.3 million reported for the same period
last year. Non-performing assets amounted to $115.9 million or 1.60% of total
loans at June 30, 1994, compared with $139.7 million or 2.42% at the same date
last year.
Operating expenses for the six-month period ended June 30, 1994 totaled
$219 million compared with $203.4 million a year earlier. This increase is
directly related to the business expansion in the U.S. mainland and the
Caribbean during the last six months of 1993 and the acquisition of Pioneer
Bank in Chicago on March 31, 1994. The increase in operating expenses is also
due to the development of new products and services, such as the electronic
payment system and the establishment of point of sale terminals.
The Corporation's total assets at June 30, 1994, amounted to $12.8 billion
compared with $10.9 billion at June 30, 1993. Most of the increase was in the
loan portfolio which grew $1.4 billion. Deposits amounted to $9.1 billion as of
June 30, 1994, an increase of $1.2 billion or 15.2% from the previous year. Of
the total increase in deposits, $694.3 million are related to acquisitions.
The Corporation's capital increased to $969.8 million at June 30, 1994,
compared with $793 million a year ago. This increase is attributed to earnings'
retention and to the issuance of 4,000,000 shares of 8.35% non-cumulative
preferred stock which raised $96.7 million in additional capital. Stockholders'
equity at June 30, 1994, includes an allowance of $6.6 million for unrealized
losses on securities available for sale. This allowance pertains to the
implementation on the first quarter of 1994 of SFAS 115.
Book value per share rose to $26.53 as of June 30, 1994, from $24.26 as of
the same date last year. The Corporation enjoys strong risk-weighted capital
ratios, with a Tier 1 capital ratio of 12.66%, a total capital ratio of 14.11%
and a leverage ratio of 7.43%.

more detailed discussion of the Corporation's financial performance and results

________________________________________________________________________________
Mr. Roberto W. Esteves, a director of the Corporation since 1991, and Mr. Hugh
G. McComas, a director of the Corporation since 1990 and of Banco Popular since
1980, retired from the Boards of Directors upon reaching the mandatory
retirement age. Mr. Esteves continues on the Bank's board. To these
distinguished colleagues goes the expression of our sincere admiration and
gratitude for their dedication and contributions.
Effective January 1994, Mr. Luis Rodriguez-Delgado resigned as director of
the Corporation and the Bank in order to dedicate himself fully to private
commercial endeavors. He served as a director of Banco Popular for over eight
years and of the Corporation for over three years. We appreciate his valuable
contributions to our institution.
________________________________________________________________________________
On June 27, 1994, the Corporation successfully issued 4,000,000 shares of
non-cumulative preferred stock. This is the first time in eleven years that a
company in Puerto Rico issues preferred stock, sold completely in the Island,
and the first time for the Corporation. Holders of the preferred stock will
receive monthly cash dividends at the annual rate of 8.35% and have a
liquidation preference of $25 per share. The stock is redeemable on and after
June 30, 1998, at the option of the Corporation, in whole or in part, from time
to time. Through this issuance the Corporation raised $96.7 million in
additional capital which will allow it to continue expanding while maintaining
a strong capital position.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
________________________________________________________________________________
This financial review contains an analysis of the performance of BanPonce
Corporation (the Corporation) and its subsidiaries Banco Popular de Puerto Rico
(Banco Popular), including its wholly-owned subsidiaries Popular Leasing and
Rental, Inc. (Popular Leasing) and Popular Consumer Services, Inc., Vehicle
Equipment Leasing Company, Inc. (VELCO), and Popular International Bank, Inc.
and its wholly owned subsidiaries BanPonce Financial Corp. (BanPonce
Financial), Spring Financial Services, Inc. (Spring) and Pioneer Bancorp, Inc.
(Pioneer), second tier subsidiaries. Pioneer was acquired on March 31, 1994.
This financial review should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements, supplemental financial data and tables contained herein.
NET INCOME
BanPonce Corporation had a sound performance during the second quarter of 1994.
Net earnings increased to $31.7 million from the $27.5 million reported for the
second quarter of 1993. Net earnings also increased 10% from the $28.7 million
reported during the first quarter of 1994. The rise in earnings relates
principally to a higher net interest income and a lower provision for loan
losses, partially offset by higher operating expenses.
Net earnings for the quarter were $0.96 per share, based on 32,784,747
average shares outstanding, as compared with $0.84 per share for the second
quarter of 1993, based on 32,689,778 average shares outstanding. Return on
assets (ROA) and return on equity (ROE) for the quarter ended June 30, 1994
were 1.03% and 14.59%, respectively, compared with 1.05% and 14.09% reported
for the second quarter of 1993.
For the first six months of 1994, the Corporation's net earnings rose to
$60.4 million, compared with $53.0 million reported during the same period of
1993. The results for 1993 include $6.2 million in additional revenues which
resulted from the implementation of two new accounting principles (SFAS 106 and
109).
Earnings per share for the six-month period ended June 30, 1994 were $1.84,
based on 32,770,562 average shares outstanding during the period, compared with
$1.62 per share, based on 32,681,001 average shares outstanding during the same
period of 1993. Excluding the cumulative effect of the changes in accounting
principles adopted during the first quarter of 1993, earnings per share were
$1.43 for the first six months of 1993.
ROA and ROE for the first six months of 1994 were 1.02% and 14.19%,
respectively, compared with 1.04% and 13.85% obtained during the first six
months of 1993.
NET INTEREST INCOME
Net interest income for the quarter ended June 30, 1994 increased $12.4
million, from $122.7 million for the second quarter of 1993 to $135.1 million.
On a taxable equivalent basis, net interest income rose to $146.4 million for
the second quarter of 1994, from $135.8 million for the same quarter of 1993.
The improved net interest income is the net effect of a $23.1 million increase
due to the growth and change in the composition of average earning assets and a
$12.4 million decrease due to lower taxable equivalent yields. For analytical
purposes, the interest earned on tax exempt assets is adjusted to a "taxable
equivalent" basis assuming the statutory income tax rate of 42%.
Average earning assets increased $1.8 billion, reaching $11.4 billion for
the second quarter of 1994, compared with $9.7 billion for the same quarter of
1993. This increase was mainly in mortgage and commercial loans. The increase
in mortgage loans was due to the significant mortgage loan origination and
refinancing activity during 1993 and the beginning of 1994 in Banco Popular and
Spring, and the acquisition of several mortgage loan portfolios in the U.S.
Approximately $435 million in mortgage loans have been purchased during the
fifteen-month period ended on March 31, 1994. As a result of these, average
mortgage loans almost doubled, reaching $1.9 billion for the second quarter of
1994 compared with $1.0 billion for the second quarter of 1993. Average
commercial and construction loans increased $492 million, from $2.7 billion for
the second quarter of 1993 to $3.2 billion for the second quarter of 1994.
Also, average investment securities increased from $4.0 billion for the second
quarter of 1993 to $4.4 billion for the second quarter of 1994. The increase
results mainly from higher levels of mortgage pass-through securities acquired
principally for the New York operations of Banco Popular and higher levels of
tax exempt securities.
The average yield on earning assets, on a taxable
5
<PAGE> 7
________________________________________________________________________________
equivalent basis, decreased 36 basis points to 8.07%, compared with 8.43% for
the second quarter of 1993. The average yield on loans, on a taxable equivalent
basis, was 9.41% for the second quarter of 1994, a decrease of 43 basis points
when compared with 9.84% reported for the same quarter in 1993. This is
principally due to the significant volume of refinancings, originations and
purchases of mortgage loans realized during the low interest rate environment
that prevailed in 1993 and the beginning of 1994, which resulted in a reduction
of 142 basis points in the taxable equivalent yield of the mortgage loan
portfolio. On the other hand, the yield on commercial loans increased as a
result of the repricing of approximately 60% of the commercial loan portfolio
whose yield floats with the prime rate. The prime rate has increased 125 basis
points since March 1994.
The yield on investment securities decreased from 6.76% reported during the
second quarter of 1993 to 6.01% in 1994, due to the maturity and replacement of
higher yielding tax-free securities during a lower interest rate environment.
Average interest bearing liabilities for the quarter ended June 30, 1994
were $9.4 billion, an 18.8% increase when compared with $7.9 billion reported
for the same quarter in 1993. For the quarter ended June 30, 1994, the average
short-term borrowings were $1.8 billion, an increase of $555 million when
compared with the $1.3 billion reported during the same quarter in 1993. This
increase is mostly related to a higher volume of arbitrage activities performed
by Banco Popular and a higher level of medium-term notes issued by BanPonce
Financial to finance Spring's operations. Interest-bearing deposits rose $750
million or 11.7%, mostly in savings accounts which increased $455 million.
Non-interest bearing deposits also increased by $245 million or 15.6% to $1.8
billion. The increase in total deposits relates primarily to the expansion of
the Corporation's activities during the latter part of 1993 and the beginning
of 1994. The acquisition of Pioneer on March 31, 1994 added $292.7 million in
deposits and other deposit acquisitions realized during the last six months of
1993 in New York and the Virgin Islands added $401.6 million.
The average cost of interest bearing liabilities increased 13 basis points,
from 3.45% for the second quarter of 1993 to 3.58% for the second quarter of
1994. The average cost of interest bearing deposits for the second quarter of
1994 remained stable at 3.38%, compared with 3.39% for the same quarter of
1993. However, the average cost of short-term borrowings increased 67 basis
points when compared to the average cost reported during the second quarter of
1993. The rise in the average cost of funds resulted from the higher interest
rate scenario that prevailed during the second quarter of 1994. The net
interest yield, on a taxable equivalent basis, was 5.12% for the second quarter
of 1994, decreasing 48 basis points from 5.60% reported for the quarter ended
June 30, 1993. For the first quarter of 1994, the net interest yield, on a
taxable equivalent basis, was 5.07%.
For the six-month period ended June 30, 1994, net interest income amounted
to $260.5 million, an increase of $20 million from the $240.5 million reported
for the same period in 1993. On a taxable equivalent basis, net interest income
rose to $283.3 million for such period, from $265.8 million for the same period
in 1993. This rise is composed of a $42.4 million increase due to the growth
and change in the composition of average earning assets and a $24.9 million
decrease due to lower after tax yields.

periods ended June 30, 1994 and 1993 was 3.45% and 3.48%, respectively. The net
interest yield, on a taxable equivalent basis, was 5.09% for the first six
months of 1994 compared with 5.61% for the same period in 1993.
PROVISION AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
The Corporation's provision for loan losses was $14 million for the quarter
ended June 30, 1994, compared with $19.2 million for the same quarter of 1993,
a reduction of $5.2 million or 26.8%. For the six months ended June 30, 1994,
the provision for loan losses decreased $13.0 million or 32%, from $40.7
million for the same period of 1993 to $27.7 million. This reduction is the
result of a continuous improvement in the loan quality and the reduced level of
charge-offs in the portfolios. Notwithstanding the reduction in the provision
for loan losses, the Corporation continues maintaining an adequate allowance
level.
As presented in Table B, net charge-offs for the second quarter of 1994
totaled $8.6 million or 0.49% of average loans, as compared with $13.8 million
or 1.01% for the same quarter in 1993 and $9.6 million or 0.60% for the first
quarter of 1994. Consumer loans net charge-offs decreased 46.8% for the
quarter ended June 30, 1994, from $4.3 million for the second quarter of 1993
to $2.3 million. Lease financing and construction loans net charge-offs also
showed a decrease of $1.7 million and $1.2 million, respectively, as compared
with the same period of 1993. Commercial loans net charge-offs reflected a
slight reduction of $0.5 million, while mortgage loans net charge-offs
increased $0.2 million.

September 30, 1993 17.4 9.6 130.6
June 30, 1993 19.2 13.8 121.4
For the six-month period ended June 30, 1994, net charge-offs amounted to
$18.2 million, reflecting a decline of 39.9% as compared with $30.3 million
recorded a year ago. For these periods net charge-offs as a percentage of
average loans were 0.54% and 1.13%, respectively. Consumer loans net
charge-offs decreased $4.5 million as compared with the first six months
of 1993, while commercial, construction and lease financing net charge-offs
declined $3.2 million, $2.6 million and $2.1 million, respectively.
At June 30, 1994, the allowance for loan losses was $146.4 million,
representing 2.03% of loans, as compared with $121.4 million or 2.10% at June
30, 1993. At March 31, 1994 the allowance was $140.9 million or 2.07% of loans.
Although the ratio of allowance to loans shows a small decrease, the
Corporation continues enjoying a strong allowance position since most of the
increase in loans has been experienced in the mortgage loan portfolio where the
Corporation, based on its historical experience and expected economic
conditions, does not foresee significant losses.
Table C presents the movement in the allowance for loan losses and shows
selected loan loss statistics for the three and six-month periods ended June
30, 1994 and 1993.
CREDIT QUALITY
The Corporation reports its non-performing assets on a more conservative basis
than most other U.S. banks. The Corporation's policy is to place commercial
loans on non-accrual status if payments of principal or interest are delinquent
60 days rather than the standard industry practice of 90 days. Financing
leases, conventional mortgages and closed-end consumer loans are placed on
non-accrual status if payments are delinquent 90 days. Closed-end consumer
loans are charged-off against the allowance when delinquent 120 days. Open-end
(revolving credit) consumer loans are charged-off if payments are delinquent
180 days. Certain loans which would be treated as non-accrual loans pursuant to
the foregoing policy, are treated as accruing loans if they are considered well
secured and in the process of collection. Under the standard industry practice,
closed-end consumer loans are charged-off if delinquent 120 days, but these
consumer loans are not customarily placed on non-accrual status prior to being
charged-off.
As of June 30, 1994, non-performing assets ("NPA") which consist of past-due
loans on which no interest income is being accrued, renegotiated loans, other
real estate and in-substance foreclosed assets, amounted to $115.9 million or
1.60% of loans. NPA were $139.7 million or 2.42% of loans a year earlier and
$117.3 million or 1.72% at March 31, 1994.

</TABLE>
Non-performing assets decreased $23.8 million or 17% when compared with
June 30, 1993. Most of this reduction was in the non-performing commercial and
construction loans, which decreased $13.1 million due to improved collection
efforts of classified loans, and in the non-performing consumer loans which
declined $7.1 million. The Corporation was also able to reduce the other real
estate owned by $6.1 million through successful efforts in the disposition of
these properties. Table D presents NPA for the current and previous four
quarters.
Assuming the standard industry practice of placing commercial loans on
non-accrual status when payments are past due 90 days or more and excluding the
closed-end consumer loans from non-accruing loans, non-performing assets as of
June 30, 1994, amounted to $83.3 million or 1.15% of total loans. At that date,
the allowance for loan losses as a percent of adjusted non-performing assets
was 175.8%. These two ratios compare with 1.79% and 117.4% as of June 30, 1993,
and 1.31% and 158.5% at March 31, 1994.

million at June 30, 1993, and $14.3 million at March 31, 1994. Renegotiated
loans at the end of this period amounted to $9.0 million of which $0.6 million
were in non-accrual status. All renegotiated loans are classified as
non-performing assets.
OTHER OPERATING INCOME
Other operating income, including securities and trading gains, increased to
$34.9 million for the second quarter of 1994 from $32.0 million reported for
the same period in 1993. For the six-month periods ended June 30, 1994 and
1993, these revenues were $68.4 million and $60.7 million, respectively.
Of the total increase of $2.9 million in other income for the quarter, $2.3
million correspond to the rise in other service fees. Most of this increase was
achieved through mortgage loan sales and servicing activities performed by
Spring. Also, there was an increase in credit card fees and fees collected on
new services, such as the rental of point of sales terminals to retail outlets
and the sale of investment products at selected branches. For the first six
months of 1994, other service fees totaled $25.2 million, compared with $21.4
million for the same period of 1993.
Service charges on deposit accounts totaled $18.1 million for the
three-month period ended June 30, 1994, compared with $17.8 million reported
during the same period in 1993. For the six-month period ended June 30, 1994,
service charges on deposit accounts totaled $35.2 million, increasing $1.9
million from the $33.3 million reported for the same period in 1993. The
increase is mostly related to the automated teller machine fees which were
implemented in April of 1993 and to higher revenues on commercial checking
accounts.
Other operating income reached $3.4 million for the second quarter of 1994,
compared with $2.9 million for the second quarter of 1993. For the six-month
periods ended June 30, 1994 and 1993, other operating income amounted to $7.4
million and $5.2 million, respectively. The increase relates primarily to an
adjustment of $1.4 million recorded during the first quarter of 1993 due to a
reduction in the market value of the excess mortgage servicing that resulted
from the sale of mortgages in 1992, compared with an adjustment of only $0.5
million in 1994. Also, the income of the leasing subsidiaries increased as a
result of an increase in volume.
OPERATING EXPENSES
Operating expenses for the second quarter of 1994 were $112.4 million compared
with $100.5 million for the same period of 1993, an increase of $11.9 million.
For the first six months of 1994, operating expenses increased to $219.0
million from $203.4 million for the same period in 1993.
Of the total increase in operating expenses for the first six months of
1994, approximately $2 million is attributed to the operations acquired in
September of 1993 in the U.S. and British Virgin Islands and $2.6 million
corresponds to Pioneer, which was acquired on March 31, 1994.
Personnel costs increased to $56.9 million for the three-month period ended
June 30, 1994, a 6.9% increase when compared with $53.2 million reported during
the same period of 1993. For the six-month period ended June 30, 1994, these
expenses were $112.2 million compared with $110.3 million for the same period
of 1993. The increase in personnel costs for the first six months of 1994 is
due to the salaries of the acquired operations, amounting to approximately $1.7
million, the normal annual merit increases and the business expansion of
Spring. These increases are partially offset by the accrual of $2.4 million
recognized during the first six months of 1993 for a special bonus paid to the
employees of Banco Popular on its 100th anniversary.
Other operating expenses, excluding personnel costs, increased $8.3
million, reaching $55.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1994, compared
with $47.3 million for the same quarter in 1993. For the six-month period ended
June 30, 1994, other operating expenses increased to $106.8 million from $93.1
million reported for the same period in 1993. The major increases are reflected
in equipment expenses and professional fees. Both are related to the efforts of
the Corporation to move from a paper-based operation to an electronic one and
to provide a broader variety of convenient products and services to customers.
Also, the business expansion has resulted in increases in net occupancy expense
and amortization of intangibles.
Income tax expense for the quarter ended June 30, 1994, reached $11.6
million, compared with $7.3 million for the same quarter in 1993. The increase
results mainly from a higher operating income and a lower amount of exempt
income from securities, mainly
9
<PAGE> 11
________________________________________________________________________________
due to the repricing of securities, as previously mentioned. For the six-month
period ended June 30, 1994, income tax expense reached $21.4 million, compared
with $9.8 million reported for the same period in 1993.
BALANCE SHEET COMMENTS
The Corporation's total assets amounted to $12.8 billion at June 30, 1994 as
compared with $10.9 billion a year earlier, an increase of 17.3%. Total assets
at the end of 1993 were $11.5 billion. Average total assets for the first six
months of 1994 were $12.0 billion compared with $10.2 billion for the same
period of 1993. The Corporation's business expansion is the principal reason
for the increase in assets. The most recent one was on March 31, 1994 with the
acquisition of Pioneer, a full-service bank located in Chicago, operating two
branches with $333.7 million in assets and $292.7 million in deposits, at that
date.
At June 30, 1994, earning assets totaled $11.9 billion, compared with $10
billion at June 30, 1993. Earning assets at December 31, 1993 were $10.7
billion. Loans amounted to $7.2 billion at the end of the second quarter of
1994, compared with $5.8 billion at the same date in 1993 and $6.3 billion at
the end of 1993. Most of the increase in loans was recorded in the mortgage
loan portfolio, as previously explained, which grew $712 million, from $1.2
billion at June 30, 1993 to $1.9 billion at June 30, 1994. Furthermore,
mortgage loan figures include $54.8 million in loans acquired on September 30,
1993 as part of the operations purchased in the Virgin Islands. Commercial and
construction loans rose $499 million, mainly due to an increase of $504.7
million in Banco Popular's commercial loan portfolio and $115.7 million in
commercial loans acquired in Pioneer's transaction. The growth in the consumer
loan portfolio of $154.9 million was mainly due to $86 million in portfolios of
the aforementioned acquisitions and an increase in the business activity due to
the improvement in the economy. Lease financing receivables increased $75.5
million as compared with June 30, 1993.
Total deposits were $9.1 billion at June 30, 1994, compared with $7.9
billion at the same date of 1993. At December 31, 1993, total deposits amounted
to $8.5 billion. The increase, when compared with June 1993, was mainly due to
the deposits acquired in Pioneer's transaction, which totaled $292.7 million,
and the deposits purchased during the last six months of 1993 in New York and
Virgin Islands, which amounted to $401.6 million.
Borrowings increased $577.5 million as compared with June 30, 1993. This
rise is mainly due to an increase of $381.8 million in federal funds purchased,
securities sold under agreements to repurchase and other short-term borrowings.
In addition, BanPonce Financial issued $285 million in additional medium-term
notes to finance Spring's operations.
Subordinated notes decreased to $62 million from the $74 million
outstanding a year ago, due to the prepayment in December of 1993 of a 7.95%
note. In addition, the $11 million in preferred stock of Banco Popular were
redeemed at par value on June 30, 1994.
Stockholders' equity at June 30, 1994, amounted to $969.8 million, compared
with $793.0 million at June 30, 1993. On June 27, 1994, the Corporation issued
4,000,000 shares of non-cumulative preferred stock with a dividend rate of
8.35% and a liquidation preference value of $25. Through this issuance the
Corporation raised $96.7 million in additional capital which will allow it to
continue evaluating and undertaking business acquisitions while maintaining a
solid capital position. In addition to the issuance of the preferred stock, the
Corporation increased its stockholders' equity through earnings' retention and
through the issuance of common stock under the Dividend Reinvestment Plan.
Stockholders' equity at the end of the second quarter of 1994 includes an
allowance of $6.6 million, net of taxes, for unrealized losses on securities
available for sale, due to the implementation in the first quarter of 1994 of
SFAS 115 "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities".
Book value per common share rose to $26.53 at June 30, 1994 from $24.26 at
June 30, 1993. The market value of the Corporation's common stock at June 30,
1994 was $31.25, compared with $26.25 at the same date last year. At the end
of the first six months of 1994, the Corporation had a total market
capitalization of $1.02 billion. The Corporation Tier I, total capital and
leverage ratio at June 30, 1994, were 12.66%, 14.11% and 7.43%, respectively,
as compared with 12.62%, 14.55% and 7.24%, at June 30, 1993.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
________________________________________________________________________________
(Dollars in thousands, except per share information)
NOTE 1 - CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements of BanPonce Corporation include the
balance sheet of the Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Velco,
Popular International Bank, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries BanPonce
Financial Corp., Spring Financial Services, Inc. and Pioneer Bancorp, Inc.
(second tier subsidiaries), and Banco Popular de Puerto Rico and its
wholly-owned subsidiaries, Popular Leasing and Rental, Inc. and Popular
Consumer Services, Inc., as of June 30, 1994 and 1993, and their related
statements of income and cash flows for the six-month period then ended. These
statements are, in the opinion of management, a fair statement of the results
of the periods presented. These results are unaudited, but include all
necessary adjustments for a fair presentation of such results.
Note 2 - Accounting Changes
During the first quarter of 1994 the Corporation adopted SFAS 115 "Accounting
for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities." SFAS 115 requires
financial institutions to divide their securities holdings among three
categories: held-to-maturity, available-for-sale and trading securities. Those
securities which management has the positive intent and ability to hold to
maturity will be classified as held-to-maturity and will be carried at cost.
Those that are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in
the near term, will be classified as trading and will continue to be reported
at fair value with unrealized gains and losses included in earnings. All other
securities will be classified as available-for-sale and will be reported at
fair value with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported
as a separate component of shareholders' equity. As a result of the adoption of
this statement, the Corporation's stockholders' equity at June 30, 1994
includes $6.6 million, net of taxes, in unrealized holding losses on securities
available for sale.
Effective January 1, 1993, the Corporation implemented the Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 106, "Employers Accounting for
Postretirement Benefits other than Pensions", and SFAS 109, "Accounting for
Income Taxes". Under SFAS 106 the cost of retiree health care and other
postretirement benefits is accrued during employees' service periods. The
Corporation elected to recognize the full transition obligation, which is the
portion of future retiree benefit costs related to service already rendered by
both active and retired employees up to the date of adoption, in the first
quarter of 1993 rather than amortize it over future periods. The cumulative
effect, net of taxes, of this accounting change amounted to $22.7 million, or
$0.70 per share. The SFAS 109 established accounting and reporting standards
for the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax
consequences of temporary differences between the amount of assets and
liabilities for financial reporting purposes and such amounts as measured by
tax laws. The cumulative effect of this change resulted in a credit to income
of $28.9 million, or $0.89 per share. This amount is net of a valuation
allowance of approximately $2.1 million related to a deferred tax asset arising
from net operating loss carryforwards for which the Corporation cannot
determine the likelihood that they will be realized.
Note 3 - Investment Securities
