RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
Wachovia Corporation ("Wachovia") is a southeastern
interstate bank holding company with dual headquarters in
Atlanta, Georgia, and Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Principal
banking subsidiaries are Wachovia Bank of Georgia, N.A., Wachovia
Bank of North Carolina, N.A., and Wachovia Bank of South
Carolina, N.A. The First National Bank of Atlanta provides credit
card services for Wachovia's affiliated banks.
The economy continued to grow at a modest pace during the
first three months of 1996. Business conditions remained
generally favorable although some credit weakening appeared. In
Wachovia's primary operating states of Georgia, North Carolina
and South Carolina, seasonally adjusted unemployment rates for
the quarter were 4.6 percent, 4.6 percent and 5 percent,
respectively, versus 5.6 percent for the nation.
Wachovia's net income for the first quarter of 1996 totaled
$149.870 million or $.87 per fully diluted share versus $142.156
million or $.82 per fully diluted share in the same three months
of 1995. Annualized returns were 16.26 percent on shareholders'
equity and 1.35 percent on assets compared with 17.48 percent and
1.46 percent, respectively, a year earlier. The equity and assets
used in calculating returns include unrealized gains or losses,
net of tax, on securities available-for-sale.
Expanded discussion of operating results and the
corporation's financial condition is presented in the following
narrative and tables. Interest income is stated on a taxable
equivalent basis which is adjusted for the tax-favored status of
earnings from certain loans and investments. References to
changes in assets and liabilities represent daily average levels
unless otherwise noted.

NET INTEREST INCOME
Taxable equivalent net interest income for the first three
months of 1996 increased $15.974 million or 4.3 percent from the
same period a year earlier. Good growth in interest-earning
assets, led by loans, accounted for the rise which was moderated
by a reduced yield on interest-earning assets and by higher
funding costs. Compared with the fourth quarter of 1995, taxable
equivalent net interest income was lower by $2.478 million or
less than 1 percent. The net yield on interest-earning assets
(taxable equivalent net interest income as a percentage of
average interest-earning assets) decreased 41 basis points year
over year and 6 basis points from the preceding three months.
Effective with the first quarter of 1996, factors used by
the corporation for calculating taxable equivalent adjustments to
interest income on tax free loans and investment securities were
changed to reflect apportionment versus full allocation of
respective state income tax rates. The change more accurately
reflects earning asset income contribution and had the effect of
reducing the taxable equivalent adjustment to net interest
income. Prior period amounts have not been restated. If the new
factors had been in effect in 1995, taxable equivalent net
interest income for the first quarter of 1996 would have been
higher by $20.195 million or 5.5 percent from a year earlier and
would have been up $2.171 million or 1 percent from the 1995
fourth quarter. In addition, the net yield on interest-earning
assets for the first three months of 1996 would have been lower
by 36 basis points year over year and 1 basis point from the
preceding quarter.
Taxable equivalent interest income for the quarter rose
$86.706 million or 12.1 percent from the same three-month period
in 1995. Average interest-earning assets grew $4.961 billion or
14.3 percent, while the average rate earned decreased 22 basis
points. Compared with the fourth quarter of 1995, taxable
equivalent interest income was lower by $13.774 million or a
modest 1.7 percent, with average interest-earning assets
expanding $899 million or 2.3 percent and the average rate earned
down 21 basis points.
Loans grew solidly, advancing $2.999 billion or 11.4 percent
year over year, led by the commercial portfolio. Loans were up
$748 million or 2.6 percent from the fourth quarter of 1995.
Comparisons from both periods were reduced partially by the
securitization of $500 million in credit card receivables in the
last three months of 1995.
Commercial loans, including related real estate categories,
rose $2.365 billion or 15.8 percent year over year. Good growth
was achieved in all categories with the largest gains occurring
in regular commercial loans, up $917 million or 10.5 percent,
commercial mortgages, which were higher by $411 million or 11.6
percent, and tax-exempt loans, which increased $380 million or
21.5 percent.
Based on regulatory definitions, commercial real estate
loans were $4.714 billion or 15.8 percent of total loans at March
31, 1996. Regulatory definitions for commercial real estate
include loans which have real estate as the collateral but not
the primary consideration in a credit risk evaluation. Commercial
mortgages were $3.982 billion or 13.3 percent and construction
loans were $732 million or 2.5 percent. Comparable amounts one
year earlier were $4.135 billion in commercial real estate loans,
representing 15.5 percent of total loans, with $3.621 billion in
commercial mortgages and $514 million in construction loans. At
year-end 1995, commercial mortgages were $3.855 billion and
construction loans were $746 million, representing a combined 15.7
percent of total loans.
Retail loans, including residential mortgages, increased
$634 million or 5.6 percent. Growth was paced by residential
mortgages, which were higher by $380 million or 9.9 percent, and
by indirect retail loans, consisting primarily of automobile
sales financing and which were up $235 million or 10 percent.
Credit card loans were largely unchanged for the period.
Underlying growth, however, remained good, being masked by the
$500 million securitization of receivables. Managed credit card
outstandings at March 31, 1996 were $4.593 billion, including
$625 million in net securitized loans, compared with $4.081
billion in managed receivables, including $125 million in net
securitized loans, one year earlier. Managed credit card
receivables averaged $4.583 billion for the first quarter of 1996
versus $4.078 billion in the same three months of 1995.
Investment securities rose $1.183 billion or 15.6 percent
from the year-earlier period and were higher by $119 million or a
modest 1.4 percent from the 1995 fourth quarter. Increased levels
of available-for-sale

The decline in securities held-to-maturity from prior
periods reflects a one-time reclassification made in the fourth
quarter of 1995 of securities held-to-maturity with a book value
of $2.720 billion to securities available-for-sale, following
issuance by the Financial Accounting Standards Board of "A Guide
to Implementation of Statement 115 on Accounting for Certain
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities." At March 31, 1996,
securities held-to-maturity had a market value of $1.616 billion,
representing an $80 million appreciation over book value. On the
same date, securities available-for-sale marked to fair market
value under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115,
"Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities" (FASB 115), had unrealized gains of $94.544 million,
pretax, and $57.338 million, net of tax. Average securities
available-for-sale for the period had unrealized gains of
$187.631 million, pretax, and $114.386 million, net of tax.
Interest expense for the quarter grew $70.732 million or
20.6 percent year over year. Expanded levels of interest-bearing
liabilities, primarily deposits, accounted for most of the
increase, which was widened additionally by a higher average cost
of funds. Average interest-bearing liabilities were up $4.790
billion or 16.3 percent, while the average rate paid rose 14
basis points. Interest expense declined $11.296 million or 2.7
percent from the fourth quarter of 1995.
Interest-bearing time deposits grew $3.312 billion or 19.1
percent from the year-earlier quarter and remained largely
unchanged from the preceding three-month period. The savings and
money market savings category was up $1.225 billion or 20.2
percent year over year, primarily reflecting good growth in
Wachovia's Premiere money market account. Large denomination
certificates rose $1.173 billion or 78 percent. Savings
certificates and foreign time deposits also had good growth,
while interest-bearing time deposits were modestly higher.
Short-term borrowings rose $665 million or 9 percent year
over year and were up $723 million or 9.9 percent from the fourth
quarter of 1995. Growth from the year-earlier period primarily
reflected increases in federal funds purchased and securities
sold under repurchase agreements and expanded commercial paper
borrowings. Other short-term borrowings, consisting largely of
short-term bank notes, were up modestly for the period.
Short-term bank notes are part of Wachovia Bank of North
Carolina's $16 billion domestic bank note program, comprised of
short- and medium-term bank notes. At March 31, 1996, short-term
bank notes totaled $703 million with an average cost of 5.29
percent and an average maturity of 17 days. This compared with
$1.187 billion in outstandings with an average cost of 6.19
percent and an average maturity of

2.8 months one year earlier. In April, Wachovia Bank of North
Carolina announced it would replace the domestic bank note
program with a $16 billion global bank note program as part of a
long-term strategy of diversifying funding sources and expanding
balance sheet liquidity.
Long-term debt increased $813 million or 17.4 percent year
over year and was higher by $274 million or 5.3 percent from the
preceding quarter. Medium-term bank notes grew $317 million or
8.2 percent from the same period in 1995, and other long-term
debt rose $496 million or 59.2 percent. At March 31, 1996,
medium-term bank notes totaled $4.827 billion with an average
cost of 5.52 percent and an average maturity of 1.34 years versus
$3.809 billion in outstandings with an average cost of 5.47
percent and an average maturity of 1.59 years at first
quarter-close 1995. Included in other long-term debt is $250
million in 30-year subordinated debentures issued in the fourth
quarter of 1995.
Gross deposits for the quarter averaged $26.038 billion, an
increase of $3.382 billion or 14.9 percent from $22.656 billion
in the same three months of 1995. Collected deposits, net of
float, averaged $24.198 billion, up $3.250 billion or 15.5
percent from $20.948 billion a year earlier.
ASSET AND LIABILITY MANAGEMENT AND INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY
The corporation uses a number of tools to measure interest
rate risk, including monitoring the difference or gap between
rate sensitive assets and liabilities over various time periods,
monitoring the change in present value of the asset and liability
portfolios under various rate scenarios and simulating net
interest income under the same rate scenarios. Management
believes that rate risk is best measured by simulation modeling
which calculates expected net interest income based on projected
interest-earning assets, interest-bearing liabilities,
off-balance sheet financial instruments and interest rates.
The corporation monitors exposure to a gradual change in
rates of 200 basis points up or down over a rolling 12-month
period and an interest rate shock of an instantaneous change in
rates of 200 basis points up or down over the same period. From
time to time, the model horizon is expanded to a 24-month period.
The corporation policy limit for the maximum negative impact on
net interest income from a gradual change in interest rates of 2
percentage points over 12 months is 7.5 percent. Management
generally has maintained a risk position well within the policy
guideline level. As of March 31, 1996, the model indicated the
impact of a 2 percentage point gradual rise in rates over 12
months would approximate a .40 percent decrease in net interest
income, while a 2 percentage point decline in rates over the same
period would approximate a .05 percent decrease from an unchanged
rate environment.
In addition to on-balance sheet instruments such as investment
securities and purchased funds, the corporation uses
off-balance sheet derivative instruments to manage interest rate
risk, liquidity and net interest income. Off-balance sheet
instruments include interest rate swaps, futures and options with
indices that directly correlate to on-balance sheet instruments.
The corporation has used off-balance sheet financial instruments,
principally interest rate swaps, over a number of years and
believes their use on a sound basis enhances the effectiveness of
asset and liability and interest rate sensitivity management.
Off-balance sheet asset and liability derivative
transactions are based on referenced or notional amounts. At
March 31, 1996, the corporation had $1.334 billion notional
amount of derivatives outstanding for asset and liability
management purposes, all of which represent interest rate swaps.
Credit risk of off-balance sheet derivative financial instruments
is equal to the fair value gain of the instrument if a
counterparty fails to perform. The credit risk is normally a
small percentage of the notional amount and fluctuates as
interest rates move up or down. The corporation mitigates this
risk by subjecting the transactions to the same rigorous approval
and monitoring process as is used for on-balance sheet credit
transactions, by dealing in the national market with highly rated
counterparties, by executing all transactions under International
Swaps and Derivatives Association Master Agreements and by using
collateral instruments to reduce exposure. Collateral is
delivered by either party when the fair value of a particular
transaction or group of transactions with the same counterparty
on a net basis exceeds an acceptable threshold of exposure. The
threshold level is determined based on the strength of the
individual counterparty.
The fair value of all asset and liability derivative
positions for which the corporation was exposed to counterparties
totaled $16 million at March 31, 1996. The fair value of all
asset and liability derivative
11
<PAGE> 12
positions for which counterparties were exposed to the
corporation amounted to $16 million on the same date. Fair value
details and additional asset and liability derivative information
are included in the accompanying tables.

Asset and liability transactions are accounted for following
hedge accounting rules. Accordingly, gains and losses related to
the fair value of derivative contracts used for asset and
liability management purposes are not immediately recognized in
earnings. If the hedged or altered balance sheet amounts were
marked to market, the resulting unrealized balance sheet gains or
losses could be expected to offset unrealized derivatives gains
and losses.
Nonperforming Assets
Nonperforming assets at March 31, 1996 were $77.552 million
or .26 percent of period-end loans and foreclosed property, down
$15.171 million or 16.4 percent from one year earlier. Compared
with year-end 1995, nonperforming assets were higher by $8.188
million or 11.8 percent, reflecting a rise in both cash-basis
assets and foreclosed properties.
Included in the $77.552 million total at March 31, 1996 were
real estate nonperforming assets of $63.937 million, representing
.71 percent of real estate loans and foreclosed real estate. This
compared with $64.120 million or .80 percent at first
quarter-close 1995 and with $55.181 million or .63 percent at
December 31, 1995. Real estate nonperforming loans were $49.547
million at March 31, 1996, $46.755 million one year earlier and
$43.576 million at year-end 1995.
Commercial real estate nonperforming assets were $33.370
million or .71 percent of related loans and foreclosed real
estate versus $40.030 million or .97 percent at March 31, 1995
and $30.910 million or .67 percent at the end of the 1995 fourth

PROVISION AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
The provision for loan losses was $27.334 million for the
quarter, up $5.546 million or 25.5 percent year over year and
slightly exceeded net charge-offs. Compared with the fourth
quarter of 1995, the provision was lower by $2.838 million or 9.4
percent.
The provision reflects management's assessment of the
adequacy of the allowance for loan losses to absorb potential
write-offs in the loan portfolio due to a deterioration in credit
conditions or change in risk profile. Factors considered in this
assessment include growth and mix of the loan portfolio, current
and anticipated economic conditions, historical credit loss
experience and changes in borrowers' financial positions.
Net loan losses for the period totaled $27.214 million or
.37 percent annualized of average loans. This compared with
$19.420 million or .30 percent in the same three months of 1995,
a rise of $7.794 million or 40.1 percent, reflecting higher
losses in consumer loans, primarily credit cards. Net charge-offs
were lower by $2.834 million or 9.4 percent from the 1995 fourth
quarter due to increased recoveries, principally in real estate
loans. Excluding credit cards, the loan portfolio had net
recoveries of $664 thousand or .01 percent annualized of average
loans compared with net loan losses of $1.192 million or .02
percent and $4.121 million or .07 percent in the first and
fourth quarters of 1995, respectively.
Credit card loans had net losses of $27.878 million or 2.82
percent of average credit card receivables, up $9.650 million or
52.9 percent from $18.228 million or 1.84 percent of average
outstandings in the same three months of 1995. Other retail
loans, consisting of direct and indirect retail lending, had net
losses of $4.443 million or .54 percent of average related loans,
an increase of $2.050 million or 85.7 percent compared with the
same period a year earlier. Partially offsetting the rise in
consumer net loan losses for the quarter were higher recoveries
in real estate and commercial loans. Selected data on the
corporation's managed credit card portfolio, which includes
securitized loans, is presented in the following table.

The corporation's policy is to accrue interest on revolving
credit card loans until payments become 120 days delinquent, at
which time the outstanding principal balance is charged off to the
allowance and any accrued but unpaid interest is charged directly
to interest income.
At March 31, 1996, the allowance for loan losses totaled
$408.928 million, representing 1.37 percent of period-end loans
and 707 percent of nonperforming loans. Comparable amounts were
$408.500 million, 1.53 percent and 569 percent, respectively, one
year earlier and $408.808 million, 1.40 percent and 763 percent,
respectively, at the end of the 1995 fourth quarter.

Noninterest Income
Total other operating revenue for the first quarter rose
$27.012 million or 17.2 percent from the same period in 1995. All
major categories except mortgage fee income and trading account
profits were up with strongest growth occurring primarily in
deposit account service charges, investment fee income, credit
card income, trust services and electronic banking. Compared with
the fourth quarter of 1995, total other operating revenue was
lower by $2.184 million or 1.2 percent, largely reflecting lower
trading account profits due to unfavorable market conditions.
Excluding trading account profits, total other operating revenue
grew $2.602 million or 1.5 percent from the 1995 fourth quarter.
Deposit account service charge revenues expanded $7.717
million or 15.8 percent. The gain primarily reflected higher
overdraft charges, with increases in commercial account analysis
fees and in charges associated with savings and demand accounts
also contributing to the rise.
Investment fee income, consisting largely of fees from
mutual funds, brokerage commissions, variable rate demand bonds
and loan syndications, grew $5.052 million or 97.6 percent.
Increased mutual fund activity, along with higher brokerage
commission income and administrative agent fees, primarily
accounted for the strong gain.
Net revenues received from cardholder payments on
securitized loans, increased overlimit charge activity and higher
levels of interchange income helped push credit card fee income
up $3.578 million or 12.4 percent. Active managed credit card
accounts totaled 1.832 million at March 31, 1996 compared with
1.675 million one year earlier and 1.805 million at December 31,
1995.
Trust service fee revenues expanded $3.464 million or 11.2
percent, paced primarily by growth in personal trust services.
Asset management services also had good gains, while corporate
trust revenues were up modestly for the period. In April,
Wachovia completed the sale of its bond trustee business to The
Bank of New York.
Increased ATM and debit card usage fueled expansion of
electronic banking service income which rose $2.095 million or
28.9 percent.
Mortgage fee income declined $4.053 million or 47.9 percent
due principally to the corporation's sale of its $9 billion
residential mortgage servicing portfolio in April 1995 and loss
of associated servicing
16
<PAGE> 17
fee income. Helping to offset the decrease were higher levels of
mortgage origination activity and gains on associated sales of
mortgage servicing rights.
Trading account profits were lower by $2.754 million or 44.4
percent, primarily reflecting unfavorable bond market conditions
in the latter two months of the quarter. Renewed inflation
concerns within the bond market bid up long-term interest rates,
reducing the values of trading account assets for the period.
Remaining combined categories of total other operating
revenue rose $11.913 million or 55.9 percent. Insurance premiums
and commissions increased $435 thousand or 13.1 percent and
bankers' acceptance and letter of credit fees were up $339
thousand or 6.1 percent. Other service charges and fees grew
$2.195 million or 34.3 percent, primarily due to contractual
servicing revenues on the corporation's securitized loan
portfolio. Other income was higher by $8.944 million. Included
in other income are fees associated with Wachovia's Capital
Markets Group and expanded sturctured leverage leasing activity.
Including sales of investment securities, total noninterest
income was up $27.839 million or 17.7 percent. Investment
securities sales resulted in a net gain of $698 thousand for the
first three months of 1996 versus a net loss of $129 thousand in
the same period a year earlier.

NonInterest Expense
Total noninterest expense for the quarter increased $25.213
million or 8.9 percent year over year. Higher personnel expense
primarily accounted for the rise, with modest growth occurring in
combined net occupancy and equipment expense and in other
remaining combined categories of noninterest expense spending.
The corporation's overhead ratio measuring noninterest expense as
a percentage of total adjusted revenues (taxable equivalent net
interest income and total other operating revenue) was 53.8
percent for the quarter, largely unchanged from 53.4 percent in
the same three months a year earlier. Total noninterest expense
declined $6.820 million or 2.2 percent from the fourth quarter of
1995.
Total personnel expense increased $16.655 million or 11.5
percent. Salaries expense rose $13.635 million or 11.5 percent,
driven principally by growth in base salaries and new incentive
pay plans. Employee benefits expense was higher by $3.020 million
or 11.3 percent, generally in line with salary and personnel
growth. Full-time equivalent employees totaled 16,191 at March
31, 1996 versus 15,577 one year earlier.
Combined net occupancy and equipment expense grew $3.156
million or 6.5 percent. Net occupancy expense increased $2.488
million or 12.3 percent, primarily due to higher building
depreciation, maintenance and premise service costs. Equipment
expense was up a modest $668 thousand or 2.4 percent.
Remaining combined categories of noninterest expense
increased $5.402 million or 6 percent. Advertising and sales
promotion spending rose $7.659 million or 81.4 percent, largely
due to expanded credit card solicitation costs. Professional
services expenses was higher by $4.016 million or 70.6 percent,
reflecting a continuation of increased spending begun in the
second quarter of 1995 for the corporation's strategic
initiatives.

Income Taxes
Applicable income taxes for the quarter were higher by
$10.085 million or 17 percent. Income taxes computed at the
statutory rate are reduced primarily by the interest earned on
state and municipal debt securities and industrial revenue
obligations. Also, within certain limitations, one-half of the
interest income earned on qualifying employee stock ownership plan
loans is exempt from federal taxes. The interest earned on state
and municipal debt instruments is exempt from federal taxes and,
except for out-of-state issues, from Georgia and North Carolina
taxes as well, and results in substantial interest savings for
local governments and their constituents.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND CAPITAL RATIOS
Assets at March 31, 1996 totaled $45.425 billion, with
$40.527 billion in interest-earning assets, including $29.869
billion in loans. Comparable amounts one year earlier were
$40.223 billion, $35.814 billion and $26.728 billion,
respectively. At December 31, 1995, total assets were $44.981
billion, interest-earning assets were $40.001 billion and loans
were $29.261 billion.
Deposits at first quarter-close 1996 were $25.909 billion,
including $20.384 billion of time deposits, representing 78.7
percent of the total. Deposits were $23.110 billion, including
time deposits of $17.956 billion or 77.7 percent of the total one
year earlier and were $26.369 billion, including time deposits of
$20.508 billion or 77.8 percent of the total at year-end 1995.
Shareholders' equity at March 31, 1996 was $3.729 billion,
up $324 million or 9.5 percent from $3.405 billion a year earlier
and lower by $45 million or 1.2 percent from fourth quarter-close
1995. The total at March 31, 1996 included $57.338 million, net
of tax, of unrealized gains on securities available-for-sale
marked to fair market value under FASB 115 compared with
unrealized losses of $10.111 million, net of tax, one year
earlier and unrealized gains of $116.113 million, net of tax, at
December 31, 1995. At its meeting on April 26, 1996, the
corporation's board of directors declared a second quarter
dividend of $.36 per share, payable June 3 to shareholders of
record on May 6, 1996. The dividend represents an increase of 9.1
percent from $.33 per share paid in the same three months of
1995. For the year-to-date, the dividend will total $.72 per
share, up 9.1 percent from $.66 per share paid in 1995.
The corporation was authorized by the board of directors
also on April 26, 1996 to repurchase up to 8 million shares of
its common stock, replacing an earlier action on July 28, 1995 to
repurchase up to 5 million shares. As of March 31, 1996, a total
of 2,355,700 shares had been repurchased under the earlier
authorization which was terminated effective with the new
authorization. Share repurchase activity is part of the
corporation's capital management strategy designed to enhance
shareholder value over the long-term. In addition, repurchased
shares will be used for various corporate purposes, including
share issuance for the corporation's employee stock plans and
dividend reinvestment plan.
Intangible assets at March 31, 1996 totaled $38.015 million,
consisting of $29.099 million in goodwill, $6.559 million in
deposit base intangibles, $1.194 million in purchased credit card
intangibles and $1.163 million in other intangible assets. At
first quarter-close 1995, intangible assets were $74.614 million,
with $31.903 million in mortgage servicing rights, $30.589
million in goodwill, $8.163 million in deposit base intangibles,
$2.379 million in purchased credit card intangibles and $1.580
million in other intangible assets.

The corporation sold its residential mortgage servicing
portfolio in April 1995, removing mortgage servicing right
intangibles from its balance sheet.
Effective January 1, 1996, the corporation prospectively
adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 121,
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-lived Assets and for
Long-lived Assets to be Disposed Of" (FASB 121). The adoption of
FASB 121 did not have a material impact on the corporation's
financial position or results of operations.
Regulatory agencies divide capital into Tier I (consisting
of shareholders' equity less ineligible intangible assets) and
Tier II (consisting of the allowable portion of the reserve for
loan losses and certain long-term debt) and measure capital
adequacy by applying both capital levels to a banking company's
risk-adjusted assets and off-balance sheet items. Regulatory
requirements presently specify that Tier I capital should exclude
the market appreciation or depreciation of securities
available-for-sale arising from valuation adjustments under FASB
115. In addition to these capital ratios, regulatory agencies
have established a Tier I leverage ratio which measures Tier I
capital to average assets less ineligible intangible assets.
Regulatory guidelines require a minimum of total capital to
risk-adjusted assets ratio of 8 percent with one-half consisting
of tangible common shareholders' equity and a minimum Tier I
leverage ratio of 3 percent. Banks which meet or exceed a Tier I
ratio of 6 percent, a total capital ratio of 10 percent and a
Tier I leverage ratio of 5 percent are considered
well-capitalized by regulatory standards.
At March 31, 1996, the corporation's Tier I to risk-adjusted
assets ratio was 9.39 percent with total capital 13.55 percent of
risk-adjusted assets. The Tier I leverage ratio was 8.22 percent.
