3.  Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
    -------------------------------------

     In the ordinary course of business, there are various claims
pending against the Company and its subsidiaries.  In the opinion of
management, liabilities arising from such claims, if any, would not have
a material effect upon the Company's consolidated financial statements.

<PAGE>8
4.  Dispositions
    ------------

     On June 21, 1996, the Company sold its AFL-CIO Union Privilege
affinity credit card portfolio to Household International, Inc.,
effective June 1, 1996, for $575 million.  After settling its
obligations to its marketing agent and other transactional costs, the
Company recorded a pre-tax gain of $400 million, included in other
noninterest income.  The transaction related to approximately $3.4
billion in outstandings and included 2.2 million cards.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
- -----------------------------------------------------------
and Results of Operations
- -------------------------

     The Company reported record second quarter net income of $278
million, up 23% from $226 million earned in the same period last year. 
Second quarter fully diluted earnings per share were a record 66 cents,
a 22% increase over the 54 cents earned in the second quarter of 1995. 
Net income for the first six months was $521 million, an increase of 19%
over last year's $438 million.  Earnings per share, on a fully diluted
basis, were $1.23 for the first half of 1996 compared with $1.06 in
1995.  The dilutive effect of stock warrants reduced earnings per share
for the second quarter of 1996 by 4 cents compared with 3 cents in the
first quarter of 1996 and 2 cents in last year's second quarter.  This
dilution was partially offset by the effect of the Company's stock buy
back program which increased earnings per share 2 cents in the second
quarter of 1996 and 1 cent in the first quarter of 1996.

     In the second quarter, the Company recorded a $400 million pre-tax
gain on the sale of its AFL-CIO Union Privilege affinity credit card
portfolio.  The Company also recorded a $350 million provision related
to its credit card portfolio in addition to its current quarterly
provision for loan losses of $75 million.  Excluding both the gain on
the sale and the provision related to its credit card portfolio, the
Company reported earnings per share of 59 cents, also a record quarterly
result. 

     Net interest income, on a taxable equivalent basis, totaled $499
million in the second quarter compared with $514 million in the second
quarter of last year.  Revenues from the Company's securities processing
business grew 58% over the second quarter of 1995.  This significant
increase reflected continued strong internal growth as well as the
acquisition of the corporate trust business of Nationsbank and the
custody businesses of BankAmerica and J.P. Morgan.  All areas of
securities processing contributed to an internal growth rate increase of
12% with ADR's, corporate trust, and government securities clearance
particularly strong.

     Fees from other processing, which includes funds transfer, cash
management, and trade finance, grew 7% over last year's second quarter. 
The largest contributor to this increase was fees from funds transfer
which were up 15%.

     Fees from trust and investment grew 24% in the second quarter of
1996 over the second quarter of 1995 reflecting new business and
generally strong markets.

     Return on average assets for the second quarter was a record 2.05%
versus 1.79% in the first quarter of 1996 and 1.68% in the second
quarter of 1995. Return on average common equity was a record 21.97% in
the second quarter of 1996, compared with 18.86% in the first quarter of
1996 and 19.85% in the second quarter of 1995.  Excluding the effect of
the sale of the Union credit card portfolio and the provision related to

<PAGE>10
the credit card portfolio, return on average assets was also a record
1.82% while return on average common equity was 19.51%.
     
CAPITAL
- -------

     The Company's estimated Tier 1 capital and Total capital ratios
were 7.97% and 12.92% at June 30, 1996 compared with 7.85% and 12.62% at
March 31, 1996, and 8.62% and 13.20% at June 30, 1995.  Tangible common
equity as a percent of total assets was 7.51% at June 30, 1996 compared
with 7.58% at March 31, 1996 and 7.67% one year ago.  The leverage ratio
was 7.75% at June 30, 1996 compared with 7.94% at March 31, 1996 and
8.17% one year ago.  The decline in the capital ratios compared with
June 1995 reflects the goodwill associated with the securities
processing acquisitions and the repurchase of common stock.

     On July 9, 1996, the Company's Board of Directors declared a 2-
for-1 common stock split.  On August 8, 1996, holders of record as of
the close of business on July 19, 1996 will receive one additional
common share for every share held.  The Company also increased its
quarterly cash dividend on its common stock to 44 cents per share (22
cents per share post-split) from 40 cents per share previously paid.

     In the second quarter of 1996, the Company announced a plan to buy
back through the end of 1996 up to 10 million shares (20 million shares
post-split) of its common stock, in addition to the 16 million (32
million post-split) share buy back plan announced in 1995.  As of July
31, 1996, 14.6 million shares (29.2 million shares post-split) had been
repurchased under both plans for $728 million.  The Company expects to
complete its buy back plans by December 31, 1996.

the second quarter of 1996, compared with 3.43% in the first quarter of
1996 and 3.34% one year ago.  The net yield on interest-earning assets


<PAGE>11
was 4.26% compared with 4.46% in the first quarter of 1996 and 4.45% in
last year's second quarter.  The decrease in the net interest rate
spread and the net yield from the first quarter of 1996 reflects the
sale of the credit card receivables during the second quarter and
promotional rates on credit cards.  The decline in the net yield also
reflects the financing of the stock buy back program.  The Company
expects the net interest rate spread to decline further in the third
quarter due to the sale of the credit card receivables resulting in the
loss of income on these receivables for the entire three month period. 
This decline is expected to be partially offset by the expiration of
promotional rates on credit cards and repricing of certain accounts
based on their credit scores.

     For the first six months of 1996, net interest income, on a
taxable equivalent basis, amounted to $1,017 million the same as in the
first half of 1995.  The year-to-date net interest rate spread was 3.38%
in 1996 compared with 3.38% in 1995, while the net yield on interest-
earning assets was 4.36% in 1996 and 4.47% in 1995.

     Interest lost on loans on nonaccrual status at June 30, 1996 and
1995 reduced net interest income by $3 million and $5 million for the
three months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, and by $8 million and $10
million for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995.

     Securities processing fees increased 58% to $161 million compared
with $102 million in the second quarter of 1995.  In the first half of
1996, securities processing fees were $320 million compared with $200
million in 1995.  Strong internal growth in all areas and acquisitions
contributed to the increase in revenue.  Fees from other processing
increased 7% over the second quarter of last year.  Service charges and
fees increased $11 million primarily due to higher syndication and
credit card interchange fees.  The Company reported $30 million of
securities gains in the second quarter of 1996 compared with $33 million

<PAGE>12
in the first quarter and $13 million last year.  The current quarter's
gains reflect sales of securities held in the Company's stock portfolio
as well as returns on certain limited partnership interests.  Foreign
exchange revenues were strong increasing $10 million over the first
quarter of 1996 and $12 million over the second quarter of 1995.


NONINTEREST EXPENSE AND INCOME TAXES
- ------------------------------------

     Total noninterest expense for the second quarter was $457 million,
up 8% from $425 million in the same period last year and up from $444
million in the first quarter of this year.  The rise in expenses in the
second quarter was principally due to salary and other expenses related
to acquisitions of securities processing businesses from J.P. Morgan,
BankAmerica, and NationsBank as well as the acquisition of the Putnam
Trust Company.  Year-to-date noninterest expense was $902 million
compared with $841 million in 1995.  Occupancy expense was down 5%
compared with last year's second quarter.  

     Excluding the gain on the sale of the credit card portfolio, the
efficiency ratio for the second quarter was 49.9% compared with 49.4%
reported in the first quarter of 1996 and 50.4% one year ago.

     The effective tax rates for the second quarter and first six
months of 1996 were 38.4% in both periods compared with 38.4% and 38.3%
for the second quarter and first six months of 1995.

asset decreases.

     At June 30, 1996, impaired loans (nonaccrual loans over $1
million) aggregated $140 million, of which $105 million exceeded their
fair value by $23 million.  Impaired loans at June 30, 1995 totaled $162
million, of which $95 million exceeded their fair value by $26 million. 
For the second quarter of 1996 and 1995, the average amount of impaired
loans was $154 million and $186 million and interest income (cash
received) on them was $158 thousand and $226 thousand.

     Credit card loans are not placed on nonperforming status, but are
charged off when they become past due for certain periods.  Additional
information regarding the credit quality of the Company's credit card
portfolio is provided below.

     The allowance for loan losses was $982 million, or 2.76% of loans
at June 30, 1996, compared with $742 million, or 1.91% of loans at March
31, 1996.

     In the second quarter of 1996, the Company recorded a provision
for credit card loans of $350 million.  The provision principally
relates to a higher level of anticipated losses on certain Consumer's
Edge  accounts opened in 1994 and 1995, and on the credit card portfolio
generally, following a review of information received during the second
quarter of performance data and industry and economic trends.  The
provision also covers $99 million of charge-offs of the Union
receivables not sold to Household, all of which were classified as more
than 90 days past due or bankrupt.

     The foreign recovery in the second quarter of 1996 reflects a $13
million settlement with the Republic of Slovenia related to Yugoslavian
debt.  In July 1996, the Company received a $20 million settlement with
the Republic of Croatia also related to Yugoslavian debt.

SECTOR PROFITABILITY
- --------------------

     The Company has an internal information system used for management
purposes that produces sector performance data for Trust, and Securities
and Other Processing, Retail Banking, Corporate Banking, and Other
Sectors.  A set of measurement principles has been developed to help
ensure that reported results of the sectors track their economic
performance.

     Net interest income is computed on a taxable equivalent basis. 
Support and other indirect expenses are allocated to sectors based on
general guidelines.  The provision for loan losses is based on net
charge-offs incurred by each sector.  Assets and liabilities are match
funded.

     Based on this system, the sectors contributed to the Company's
profitability for the second quarter and first six months as follows:

                           Trust, and
                           Securities

Trust, and Securities and Other Processing
- ------------------------------------------
     In the Trust, and Securities and Other Processing Sector,
securities processing fees increased 58% to $161 million compared to
$102 million in the second quarter of 1995.  In the first half of 1996,
securities processing fees were $320 million compared with $200 million
in 1995.  Internally generated growth, which was 12% for the second

<PAGE>16
quarter, was led by ADRs, corporate trust, custody, and government
clearance.  Fee revenue from issuer services, custody and securities
industry products were $54 million, $61 million, and $46 million in the
second quarter of 1996 compared with $39 million, $29 million, and $34
million in 1995.  Fees from other processing increased 7% over the
second quarter of last year.  Fees from trust and investment grew 24% in
the second quarter of 1996, reflecting new business and generally strong
markets.  The rise in noninterest expense was principally due to salary
and other expenses related to acquisitions of securities processing
businesses from J.P. Morgan, BankAmerica and NationsBank.

Retail
- ------
     On June 27, 1996 the Company sold its AFL-CIO Union Privilege
affinity credit card portfolio to Household International, Inc. for $575
million, effective June 1, 1996.  The transaction related to
approximately $3.4 billion in outstandings and included 2.2 million
cards.  The Company expects to continue to service the portfolio for
Household during the third quarter of 1996.  The decrease in net
interest income in the Retail Banking Sector principally reflects the
sale of credit card receivables and promotional rates on credit cards. 
The table below provides information relating to the Company's credit

     The increase in the provision for loan losses in the Retail
Banking Sector is primarily attributable to increased charge-offs on
Consumers Edge  accounts opened in 1994 and 1995 and $99 million of

<PAGE>17
charge-offs of past due and bankrupt Union credit card accounts not sold
to Household.  Although future levels of charge-offs are difficult to
predict because they depend upon numerous factors, some of which are
beyond the control of the Company, rising credit card delinquencies and
increased personal bankruptcies could result in future charge-offs
exceeding historic levels.  The decline in total delinquent loans in the
second quarter of 1996 compared with the first quarter is due to the
sale of the Union portfolio.  Lower FDIC insurance premiums contributed
to the decline in noninterest expense.

Corporate
- ---------
     Net interest income declined in the Corporate Banking Sector due
to a decline in the value of noninterest bearing sources of funds.  The
decrease in the provision reflects a net recovery primarily due to the
settlement with the Republic of Slovenia related to Yugoslavian debt and
a lower level of charge-offs in the second quarter of 1996.  Noninterest
income benefitted from higher syndication fees recorded in the second
quarter of 1996 compared to last year's second quarter.

Other
- -----
     The Other Sector reflects the difference between the total
provision for loan losses and that charged off by the sectors.  The
increase primarily reflects the $350 million provision for credit card
loans.  Securities gains and foreign exchange and other trading
activities increased $25 million from the second quarter of 1995.  The
increase in noninterest income principally reflects the $400 million
gain on the sale of the credit card receivables to Household.
