                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
               OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
              FOR THE QUARTER AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1994
                                  (Unaudited)

EARNINGS SUMMARY

         Net income for this second quarter of 1994 was $42.4 million, an
increase of 14% over the second quarter 1993 level of $37.2 million.  For the
six months ended June 30, 1994, net income was $83.1 million, up 15% over the
1993 six month level of $72.1 million.  Net income for the quarter was $0.53
per share compared to $0.48 in the second quarter of 1993.  For the first six
months of 1994, earnings per share was $1.04 compared to $0.94 in the same
period of 1993.  The return on average assets was 1.10% for the quarter and
1.11% for the six months ended June 30, 1994.  The 1994 returns on average
stockholder equity were 15.80% for the quarter and 15.71% for the six month
period.

NET INTEREST INCOME

         Net interest income is the difference between interest income and
interest expense and is the major component of net income of the Company.  For
purposes of this discussion, income that is either exempt from federal income
taxes or is taxed at a preferential rate has been adjusted to fully taxable
equivalent amounts using a statutory federal tax rate of 35 percent.
         Net interest income in the second quarter of 1994 was $152.9 million,
up $17.8 million or 13% from $135.1 million for the second quarter of 1993.
For the quarter, total interest income increased 13% to $265.7 million as
average interest earning assets increased 15% to $14,303.3 million and the
average rate earned decreased 15 basis points to 7.45%.  For the six months
ended June 30, 1994, net interest income increased 10% to $295.3 million from
the comparable period in 1993.  Average interest-earning assets were up 14% to
$13,913.0 million for the six month period, while the average yeild over the
period decreased 35 basis points from 1993 to 7.36%.  The decrease in yeilds
earned reflects the decrease in market interest rates.
         Total interest expense for the quarter was $112.7 million, an increase
of 12% from the second quarter of 1993.  Average interest bearing liabilities
during the quarter were up 14% from the second quarter of 1993 to $12,362.2
million.  The average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities was 3.66%, down
7 basis points from the second quarter of 1993.  For the six months ended  June
30, 1994, total interest expense was $212.6 million, an increase of 8% from the
comparable period in 1993.  During the six month period, average interest
bearing-liabilities were $12,000.9 million, an increase of 13% over the same
period in 1993.  During the six month period, the average rate paid on
interest-bearing liabilities was 3.57%, reflecting a decrease of 18 basis
points from the average rate paid during the first six months of 1993.
         The taxable equivalent net interest margin for the second quarter was
4.29%, down from 4.35% during the same period 1993.  The net interest spread
for the second quarter was 3.79% compared to 3.87% during the second quarter of
1993.  For the six months ended June 30, 1994 the net interest margin was 4.28%
compared to 4.43% in 1993.  For the six month period the net interest spread
was 3.79% in 1994 compared to 3.96% in 1993.

PROVISIONS FOR LOAN LOSSES

         The provision for loan losses was $11.7 million for the second quarter
of 1994 compared to $11.1 million in the second quarter of 1993; and $21.9
million for the six months ended June 30, 1994 compared to $22.4 million in the
comparable period of 1993.  Net charge-offs for the quarter were $5.4 million
or 0.22% of average net loans, compared to $4.9 million or 0.24% during the
second quarter of 1993.  Year-to-date net charges-offs through June 30, 1994
were $8.2 million or 0.17% of average net loans compared to $12.8 million or
0.32% during the first six months of 1993.  For the year ended December 31,
1993, net charge-offs were $24.6 million or 0.29% of the average net loans.
Further information on loan charge-offs is included in the discussion of the
allowance for loan losses.

NON-INTEREST INCOME

         Total non-interest income increased $3.2 million or 8% to $44.7
million for the second quarter of 1994 and $12.0 million or 15% to $91.5
million for the six months ended June 30, 1994.  The largest portion of the
increase is attributable to increased service charges on deposit accounts,
which increased $2.4 million or 13% to $21.3 million for the quarter and $5.6
million or 16% to $41.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 1994.  This
increase it attributable to an increased number of deposit accounts and various
rate increases for certain service charges.  Mortgage origination and service
fees decreased $0.2 million or 3% to $7.3 million for the quarter and increased
$1.4 million or 10% to $15.3 million  for the first six months of 1994.

         Security losses for the second quarter of 1994 were $9,000 compared to
gains of $207,000 during the second quarter of 1993.  For the first six months
of 1994 securities gains totaled $57,000 compared to $553,000 in the first six
months of 1993.  Trust fees increased $0.8 million or 22% to $4.3 million for
the quarter and $1.6 million or 22% to $8.6 million for the first six months of
1994.  Other fee income increased $1.5 million or 18% to $10.3 million for the
quarter and $3.9 million or 23% to $21.2 million for the six months ended June
30, 1994. Other non-interest income decreased $1.1 million or 42% for the
quarter to $1.4 million.  For the six months ended June 30, 1994, other
non-interest income was $4.6 million, virtually unchanged from the comparable
period of 1993.  There were no significant non-recurring non-interest income
items recorded in 1994 or 1993.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE

         Total non-interest expense for the quarter was $118.5 million, an
increase of $12.7 million or 12% from the $105.8 million reported in the second
quarter of 1993.  For the six months ended June 30, 1994, total non-interest
expense increased $22.9 million or 11% to $231.9 million.
         Salaries and employee benefits accounted for the largest portion of
the increase for the quarter and six month period.  For the quarter salaries
and employee benefits increased $8.3 million or 15% to $63.6 million.  For the
six months ended June 30, 1994, salaries and employee benefits increased $16.8
million or 15% to $126.4 million.  The number of full time equivalent employees
rose to 7,243 at June 30, 1994, an increase of 7% from the June 30, 1993 level
of 6,791.  Net occupancy expense increased $0.7 million or 8% to $9.9 million
for the quarter and $1.4 million or 8% to $19.4 million for the six month
period.  Equipment expense increased 6% for the quarter and 8% for the six
month period ended June 30, 1994 over the

                                       7
<PAGE>   8

comparable periods in 1993 to $6.7 million and $13.1 million, respectively.
Increases in occupancy and equipment expenses are primarily attributable to an
increase in the number of branches from 372 at June 30, 1993 to 400 at June 30,
1994.  FDIC insurance expense increased 6% for the quarter and 8% on a
year-to-date basis to $6.2 million and $12.4 million as a result of an increase
in deposits.  All other non-interest expense items increased $2.9 million or
10% to $32.1 million for the quarter and $2.8 million or 5% to $60.6 million
for the first six months of 1994.  There were no significant non-recurring
non-interest expense items recorded in 1994 or 1993.
         Income tax expense for the second quarter of 1994 was $21.0 million
for an effective tax rate of 33.1% compared to $18.2 million or an effective
rate of 32.8% in the second quarter of 1993.  For the six months ended June 30,
1994, income tax expense was $41.8 million for an effective tax rate of 33.5%
compared to $35.0 million and an effective tax rate of 32.7% for the first six
months of 1993.  The increase in the effective tax rate was due primarily to a
decline in the proportional amount of revenue on non- taxable investment
securities, the 100% disallowance of interest expense deemed attributable to
debt used to carry non-taxable investment securities, and an increase in the
statutory federal corporate income tax rate to 35% in 1994 from 34% in 1993.

SUMMARY OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

         Total assets at June 30, 1994 were $15.9 billion, representing an
increase of $2.3 billion or 17% from June 30, 1993.  At December 31, 1993 total

NON-PERFORMING ASSETS

         Non-performing assets at June 30, 1994 were $100.3 million or .95% of
net loans and other real estate owned, representing a decrease of $12.8 million
or 11% from the December 31, 1993 level of $113.1 million.  Loans 90 days past
due and accruing were $13.4 at June 30, 1994 compared to $13.2 million at
December 31, 1993.  Included in non-performing assets at June 30, 1994 were
$59.9 million of loans on non-accrual status, other real estate owned totaling
$38.2 million, and $2.2 million of restructured loans.
         As of June 30, 1994, the Company had loans of approximately  $20.0
million for which management has serious doubts as to the ability of the
borrowers to comply with the present repayment terms, and may result in the
loans' repayment terms being restructured, and/or the loans going on
non-performing status.  Such loans are continuously reviewed by management, and
their classification may be changed if conditions warrant.
         Net charge-offs during the quarter totaled $5.4 million or 0.22% of
average net loans on an annualized basis compared to $4.9 million or 0.24%
during the second quarter of 1993.  For the six months ended June 30, 1994, net
charge-offs were $8.1 million or 0.17% of average net loans on an annualized
basis, compared to $12.8 million or 0.32% during the same period in 1993.  The
provision for loan losses as a percentage of net charge-offs was 215% during
the second quarter of 1994 and 224% during the second quarter of 1993.  For the
1994 six month period the provision for loan losses was 268% of net charge-offs
compared to 176% during the comparable period of 1993.

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

         The allowance for loan losses at June 30, 1994 was $149.3 million or
1.42% of net loans compared to $135.2 million or 1.43% at December 31, 1993.
Market interest rates, including the prime lending rate have recently
increased.  Although Management does not believe that the recent rate increases
will have any significant impact on non-performing assets or net charge-offs,
substantial rate increases could result in higher debt service cost to
borrowers, and in turn result in higher delinquencies and non-performing loans.
Management has taken into consideration present and expected economic
conditions, the level of risk in the portfolio, the level of non-performing
assets, potential problem loans, and delinquencies in assessing the allowance
for loan losses and considers the allowance for loan losses to be adequate.

SECURITIES AND SECURITIES AVAILABLE FOR SALE

         On December 31, 1993, the Company adopted SFAS No. 115, "Accounting
for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities." 
         The initial adoption of SFAS No. 115 resulted in designating $2,454.8
million securities as available for sale, which were recorded at fair value, and
the recording of an increase in stockholders' equity, net of deferred income
taxes, in the amount $10.2 million.  These securities were classified as
available for sale in order to proivide a source of liquidity to the Company.
         At June 30, 1994, securities available for sale totaled $2,326.4
million, reflecting a decrease of $128.4 million from December 31, 1993.
         Securities held to maturity totaled $1,680.7 million at June 30, 1994,
an increase of $402.7 million from the December 31, 1993 level of $1,278.0
million.
         At June 30, 1994, the book value of securities held to maturity
exceeded the fair value by $25.6 million, compared to an unrealized gain $49.2
million at December 31, 1993.  The

                                       9
<PAGE>   10

after-tax unrealized loss on securities available for sale was $5.8 million at
June 30, 1994 compared to an after-tax unrealized gain of $10.2 million at
December 31, 1993.  The decrease in unrealized gains from December 31, 1993 to
June 30, 1994 was a result of decreasing values in the bond market due to
increasing interest rates and general market uncertainty.

SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS

         Short-term investments at June 30, 1994 totaled $243.0 million,
reflecting a decrease of $65.1 million from the December 31, 1993 level of
$308.1.  At June 30, 1994 short-term investments consisted of $53.6 million in
federal funds sold, $0.2 million in securities purchased under resale
agreements, $9.9 million in time deposits with other banks, and $179.3 million
in assets held for sale.  Assets held for sale consisted of $167.1 million in
mortgage loans in the process of being securitized and sold to third party
investors and $12.2 million in securities held for trading purposes.  Mortgage
loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value.  Trading
account securities are carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses
recognized in net income.
         The Company's Asset/Liablility Management Committee monitors current
and future expected economic conditions, as well as the Company's liquidity
position in determining desired balances of short-term investments and
alternative uses of such funds.

OTHER ASSETS

         Other assets at June 30, 1994 were $795.3 million compared to $746.1
million at December 31, 1993.  At June 30, 1994 other assets included $334.7
million in premises and equipment, due from customers on acceptances of $27.2
million, and other non-earning assets of $433.4 million.
         Cash and due from banks was $511.4 million at June 30, 1994, a
decrease of $96.4 million from $607.8 million at December 31, 1993.

FUNDING

         The Company's funding sources can be divided into three broad
categories:  deposits, short-term borrowings and long-term borrowings.
         Deposits are the Company's primary source of funding.  Total deposits
at June 30, 1994 were $11,827.2 million up 3% from the December 31, 1993 level
of  $11,515.3 million.  At June 30, 1994 total deposits included
interest-bearing deposits of $9,967.6 million and other deposits of $1,859.6
million.
         Core deposits, defined as demand deposits and time deposits under
$100,000, totaled $10,377.9 million or 87.7% of total deposits at June 30,
1994.  This compares to core deposits of $10,057.5 million or 87.3% at December
31, 1993.
         Short-term borrowings at June 30, 1994 were $2,374.8 million and
included federal funds purchased of $876.0 million, securities sold under
agreements to repurchase of $867.9 million and other borrowed funds of $630.9
million.  At June 30, 1994 total short-term borrowings were 14.9% of total
liabilities and stockholders' equity. This compares to total short-term
borrowings of $1,456.5 million or 9.9% of total liabilities and stockholders'
equity at December 31, 1993.
         At June 30, 1994 total long-term debt was $442.6 million representing
a decrease of $27.4 million from the December 31, 1993 level of $470.0 million.
During the first quarter of 1994, the Company filed a shelf registration
statement for $200 million in subordinated debt securities.  During the second
quarter of 1994 the Company issued $100 million of 7 5/8%

                                       10
<PAGE>   11

Subordinated Notes due 2004 under the shelf registration.  Repayment of
long-term debt during the six months ended June 30, 1994 totaled $13.3 million
and $114.0 million was reclassified to short-term borrowings since it has
become payable within one year.

CAPITAL

         At June 30, 1994 total stockholders' equity was $1,093.8 million or
6.87% of total assets compared to $1,051.8 million or 7.15% at December 31,
1993.  During the first six months of 1994 net income added $83.1 million to
capital.  Sales of common stock through the Dividend Reinvestment Plan, the
employee stock purchase and stock option plans for $3.0 million represented the
issuance of 271,549 shares.  Treasury stock purchases for 142,326 shares
reduced equity by $2.7 million.  Dividends declared during the period totaled
$27.0 million, and the net unrealized gain on securities available for sale
decreased $18.1 million from an unrealized gain of $10.2 million at December
31, 1993 to an unrealized loss of $7.9 million at June 30, 1994.  Stock issued
in a business combination during 1994 added $3.7 million to equity.
         The Company is subject to the capital adequacy guidelines adopted by
the Federal Reserve Board, which is the regulatory agency governing bank
holding companies.  The Company's capital ratios and those of subsidiary banks
are in excess of these regulatory requirements and Management expects that
these ratios will continue to be maintained above the minimum levels required
by the regulators.
         At June 30, 1994, the Company had a total risk-based capital ratio of
12.67%, consisting of a Tier I capital ratio of 8.27% and supplemental capital
elements of 4.40%; and a leverage ratio of 6.41%.

COMMITMENTS

         The Company's subsidiary banks had standby letters of credit
outstanding of approximately $285.5 million at June 30, 1994 and $347.8 million
at December 31, 1993.
         The Company's subsidiary banks had outstanding commitments to extend
credit of approximately $4,009.4 million at June 30, 1994 and $3,160.0 million
at December 31, 1993.
         The Company's policies as to collateral and assumption of credit risk
for off-balance sheet commitments is essentially the same as those for
extension of credit to its customers.
         Presently the Company has no commitments for significant capital
expenditures.  
         The Company subsidiaries regularly originate and sell loans, consisting
primarily of mortgage loans sold to third party investors, which contain various
recourse provisions to the seller.  Losses historically realized through the
repurchase or other satisfaction of these recourse provisions are insignificant.

Contingencies

         Several of the Company's subsidiaries are defendants in various legal
proceedings arising in the normal course of business.  These claims relate to
the lending and investment advisory services provided by the Company and
include alleged compensatory and punitive damages.  Although it is not possible
to determine, with any certainty, the potential exposure related to punitive
damages, in the opinion of Management, based upon consultation with legal
counsel, the ultimate resolution of these proceedings will not have a material
effect on the Company's financial statements.
