2. Common stock in treasury consists of common shares of the Corporation,
at cost, which are held by a trust established in connection with the
Corporation's 1998 Long Term Incentive Compensation Plan, for the benefit
of certain employees who have elected to invest a portion of their deferred
restricted cash compensation in common stock of the Corporation. At the end
of the deferral period, the common stock will be delivered by the trust to
the employee.
3. On June 1, 1998, a 100% stock dividend in the form of a two-for-one
common stock split was distributed to stockholders of record on May 1,
1998. All share and per share data have been adjusted to reflect the split.
4. In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.
133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." This
statement establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative
instruments, and for hedging activities. This statement is effective for
periods commencing January 1, 2000. The Corporation is currently evaluating
the impact this statement will have on its results of operations and its
financial position.
5. Certain amounts from the prior year have been reclassified to conform
with 1998 classifications.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Management's discussion and analysis of the summary of operations should be
read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements (unaudited)
and notes shown elsewhere in this Report. In the following discussion, the
interest income earned on tax exempt obligations has been adjusted
(increased) to a fully-taxable equivalent basis. The rate used for this
adjustment was approximately 43% in 1998 and 1997. This tax equivalent
adjustment permits all interest income and net interest income to be
analyzed on a comparable basis. The following table presents a comparative
summary of the increases (decreases) in income and expense for the second
quarter and six months ended June 30, 1998 compared to the corresponding
periods of 1997.

Net income applicable to

========== ======= ========== =======
NET INTEREST INCOME - on a fully-taxable equivalent basis was $275.1
million in the second quarter of 1998, compared to $259.7 million in the
second quarter of 1997. The second quarter of 1998 net interest income
reflects $8.9 million of additional earnings on the repayment of an
international loan. This item reduced the adverse affect of increased
premium amortization attributable to the higher rate of prepayments
experienced in the second quarter of 1998 on mortgage-backed securities. As
shown in the table on page 8, average interest-earning assets were $48.0
billion in the second quarter of 1998, compared to $45.1 billion in the
second quarter of 1997. During the second quarter of 1998, the Corporation
increased the level of taxable investment securities, federal funds sold
and short-term borrowings. The net interest rate differential was 2.30% in
the second quarter of 1998, compared to 2.31% in the second quarter last
year. The net interest rate differential in the second quarter of 1998 was
affected favorably by 7 basis points due to the repayment of the
international loan discussed above.

As shown in the table on page 9, net interest income on a fully-taxable
equivalent basis was $543.3 million for the first six months of 1998,
compared to $521.3 million in the comparable period of 1997. Average
interest-earning assets rose to $47.0 billion for the first six months of
1998, compared to $44.0 billion for the corresponding period of 1997. The
increase in average interest-earning assets was primarily attributable to
taxable investment securities and federal funds sold. The net interest rate
differential was 2.33% for the first six months of 1998, compared to 2.39%
in the respective period of 1997.
PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES - was $4.0 million and $8.0 million in the
second quarter and first six months of 1998, respectively, unchanged from
the corresponding periods of last year.
Aggregate net charge-offs were $3.9 million in the second quarter of 1998,
compared to net charge-offs of $4.1 million in the second quarter of 1997.
For the first six months of 1998, aggregate net charge-offs were $9.4
million, compared to $4.9 million for the six-month period of 1997. See
Note 1 of notes to consolidated financial statements for additional
information related to the allowance for credit losses and net charge-offs.

Investment securities gains were $12.4 million in the second quarter of
1998, compared to $6.7 million in the second quarter of 1997. In the second
quarters of both 1998 and 1997, investment securities gains were primarily
from sales of other securities available for sale and, to a lesser degree,
U.S. Government agency securities available for sale. For the first six
months of 1998, investment securities gains were $3.9 million, compared to
$1.4 million last year.
The Corporation recorded a net loss on loans sold or held for sale of $0.2
million in the second quarter of 1998, compared to a net gain of $2.4
million in the second quarter of 1997. For the six month period of 1998
such gain amounted to $3.5 million compared to a net gain of $9.9 million
in the corresponding period of 1997, which was primarily attributable to
the sale of non-accrual commercial real estate loans.
Commission income, which consists primarily of securities brokerage
commissions, fees for the issuance of banker acceptances and letters of
credit and retail services was $24.2 million in the second quarter of 1998,
compared to $20.7 million in the second quarter of 1997. For the first six
months of 1998, commission income amounted to $48.2 million compared to
$41.3 million for the six-month period of 1997.

Equity in the earnings of affiliate increased to $36.8 million in the
second quarter of 1998, an increase of 20% from $30.6 million in the second
quarter of 1997. This income represents the Corporation's share of the
earnings of Safra Republic Holdings S.A. ("Safra Republic"), a European
international private banking group of which the Corporation owns
approximately 49%. The growth in client account assets at Safra Republic,
combined with higher levels of client activities in portfolio securities,
contributed to the increase. Safra Republic's total client account assets,
both on-and off-balance sheet, increased to $32.1 billion at June 30, 1998
from $27.3 billion at June 30, 1997. This change consisted of increases of
$3.6 billion, or 24%, in client portfolio assets and $1.2 billion, or 10%,
in client deposits. For the six-month period of 1998, equity in the
earnings of Safra Republic was $72.7 million, compared to $58.7 million for
the six-month period of last year, an increase of 24%.
Other income was $27.6 million in the second quarter of 1998, compared to
$18.2 million in the second quarter of 1997. The domestic consumer bank and
the domestic and international private banking divisions generate fee
income through service charges to clients for deposit accounts and trust
and securities activities. Other income includes revenues from these
activities of $16.4 million in the second quarter of 1998, compared to
$14.6 million in the second quarter of 1997. Other income in the second
quarter of 1998 included a gain of $4.4 million related to sales of real
estate. Other income for the six-month periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1997
was $55.0 million and $47.7 million, respectively. Included in the 1997
six-month amount was a gain of $7.4 million on the unwinding of a real
estate financing transaction and approximately $3.6 million of annual
investment management performance fees.
OTHER OPERATING EXPENSES - were $243.4 million in the second quarter and
$495.1 million for the first six months of 1998, compared to $214.5 million
and $428.7 million in the corresponding periods of 1997. Included in the
second quarter and first six months of 1998 were $8.6 million and $27.5
million of Year 2000 expenses, respectively. The Corporation did not incur
any Year 2000 expenses in the corresponding periods of 1997.
Salaries and employee benefits were $133.8 million in the second quarter of
1998, compared to $117.3 million in the second quarter of last year. The
increases in the second quarter of 1998 compared to the second quarter of
1997, were attributable largely to increased staff in information
technology and additions to staff to support a greater volume of activity
in mortgage origination, trading and foreign offices. For the six months
ended June 30, 1998, such expenses rose to $266.6 million from $233.3
million in the year-earlier period, due to higher levels of staff discussed
above and increased incentive compensation.
Occupancy expense was $18.1 million in the second quarter of 1998 and $37.0
million for the six-month period of 1998, compared to $16.8 million and
$35.1 million in the comparable periods of 1997.
-12-
<PAGE>
All other expenses were $91.5 million in the second quarter and $191.5
million in the first six months of 1998, compared to $80.4 million and
$160.3 million in the corresponding periods of 1997. After excluding the
impact of Year 2000 expenses of $7.6 million and $25.5 million, in the
second quarter and first six months of 1998, respectively, all other
expenses increased by $3.5 million and $5.7 million, respectively, from the
same periods in 1997. Amortization of goodwill and other intangible assets
was $6.7 million in the second quarter of 1998, compared to $7.1 million in
the second quarter of last year.
As previously reported, the Corporation estimates that total incremental
expenses for the Year 2000 project will be approximately $60 million.
Commencing in the second half of 1997 and through June 30 1998, $43.0
million of these costs have been recorded. The first quarter 1998 expenses
of $18.9 million have represented the peak for costs incurred during any
one quarter, with $8.6 million of these costs recorded in the second
quarter of 1998. The Corporation is on target to meet its plan to complete
substantially all systems conversions by the end of 1998.
TOTAL APPLICABLE INCOME TAXES - have been adjusted (increased) to reflect
the inclusion of interest income on tax exempt obligations as if they were
subject to federal, state and local taxes, after giving effect to the
deductibility of state and local taxes for federal income tax purposes.
Total applicable income taxes declined $2.6 million in the second quarter
of 1998 and declined $44.6 million during the first six months of 1998 when
compared to the corresponding periods of 1997. The effective tax rates,
total applicable income taxes as a percentage of income before income
taxes, were 31% for the second quarter and 23% for the six-month period of
1998, compared to 34%, respectively, in the corresponding periods of last
year. The six-month period of 1998 effective tax rate reflected the
reversal in the first quarter of certain tax liabilities accrued in prior
years.
STATEMENT OF CONDITION
CAPITAL RATIOS
The Corporation's leverage ratio, Tier 1 capital to quarterly average
assets, and its risk-based capital ratios, Tier 1 and total qualifying
capital to risk-weighted assets, include the assets and capital of Safra
Republic on a consolidated basis in accordance with the requirements of the
Federal Reserve Board (the "FRB") specifically applied to the Corporation.
These ratios do not reflect the effect on stockholders' equity related to
the FASB 115 valuation of the Corporation's portfolio of securities
available for sale which is included in accumulated other comprehensive
loss, net of taxes.
The total risk-based capital ratio has been calculated under the FRB's new
market risk capital guidelines. The guidelines incorporate a measure of
specific issuer risk for debt and equity trading positions as well as the
market risk of all trading and nontrading foreign exchange and commodity
positions. The total risk-based capital ratio for December 31, 1997 has not
been restated to reflect these new guidelines
