3.  Capital Transactions
    --------------------

     In the second quarter of 1996, the Company announced a plan to buy
back through the end of 1996 up to 20 million shares of its common stock
in addition to the 32 million share buyback plan announced in 1995.  As
of October 31, 1996, 46 million shares had been repurchased under both
plans for $1.2 billion.  The company expects to complete its buyback

<PAGE> 8

plans by December 31, 1996.

     During the third quarter of 1996, warrant holders converted 2.04
million warrants into 8.16 million common shares, providing the Company
with $127 million in capital.  In October 1996, warrant holders
converted 3.10 million warrants into 12.39 million common shares, 
generating $192 million in capital.

     Also in the third quarter of 1996, $94 million of convertible
subordinated debentures were converted into 10 million shares of common
stock.  Primary earnings per share for the nine months ended September
30, 1996 would have decreased by $.03 if the conversion had occurred at
the beginning of the year.
 
4.  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.

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

     The Company reported third quarter net income of $249 million, up
6% from $234 million earned in the same period last year.  Third quarter
fully diluted earnings per share were $0.60, a 9% increase over the
$0.55 earned in the third quarter of 1995.  Net income for the first
nine months was a record $770 million, an increase of 14% over last
year's $673 million.  Earnings per share, on a fully diluted basis, were
$1.81 for the first nine months of 1996 compared with $1.60 in 1995.  In
the third quarter, the conversion of 2 million warrants into 8 million
shares as well as the remaining outstanding warrants diluted quarterly
earnings by 4 cents per share.  This was largely offset by the Company's
stock buyback program, which increased earnings per share by 3 cents.

     Net interest income, on a taxable equivalent basis, declined to
$476 million in the third quarter compared with $521 million recorded in
the same period last year, reflecting the sale of the AFL-CIO Union
Privilege affinity credit card portfolio in the second quarter of 1996. 
This decline was partially offset by the expiration of promotional rates
on credit card loans retained by the Company and the repricing of 
certain accounts based on credit scores.  Revenues from the Company's 
securities processing business continued their strong advance, growing 
60% over the third 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 of 15% with ADRs, government 
securities clearance, and custody particularly strong.

     Fees from other processing, which includes funds transfer, cash
management, and trade finance, grew 11% over last year's third quarter. 
The largest contributor to this increase was fees from funds transfer
which were up 16%.

     Trust and investment continued its strong performance with fees
growing 28% in the third quarter of 1996 over the third quarter of 1995,
reflecting new business and generally strong markets.

     Return on average assets for the third quarter of 1996 was a
record 1.92% versus 1.82% in the second quarter on a normalized basis
with the net gain on the sale of the credit card portfolio excluded and
1.78% in the third quarter of 1995. Return on average common equity was
19.63% in the third quarter of 1996, compared with 19.51% in the second
quarter of 1996 on a normalized basis and 19.28% in the third quarter of
1995.

     Tangible fully diluted earnings per share (earnings before the
amortization of goodwill and intangibles) were $0.64 per share in the
third quarter of 1996 compared with $0.59 per share in the same period
last year.  On the same basis, tangible return on average assets was
2.12% in the third quarter of 1996 compared with a normalized 2.02% in

<PAGE> 10

the second quarter of 1996 and 1.92% in the third quarter of 1995; and
tangible return on average common equity was 27.83% in the third quarter
of 1996 compared with a normalized 27.59% in the second quarter of 1996,
and 23.58% in the third quarter of 1995.


CAPITAL
- -------

     The Company's Tier 1 capital and Total capital ratios were 7.65%
and 12.25% at September 30, 1996 compared with 7.98% and 12.93% at June
30, 1996, and 8.89% and 13.62% at September 30, 1995.  Tangible common
equity as a percent of total assets was 7.44% at September 30, 1996
compared with 7.51% at June 30, 1996 and 8.60% one year ago.  The
leverage ratio was a strong 8.17% at September 30, 1996 compared with
7.76% at June 30, 1996 and 8.96% one year ago.  The decline in the
capital ratios compared with September 1995 reflects the goodwill
associated with the securities processing acquisitions and the
repurchase as of September 30, 1996 of $1.0 billion (40 million shares)
of common stock under the Company's programs to buy back up to 52
million shares.  Adding to capital and partially offsetting the decline,
was the exercise of warrants and the conversion of $94 million of
debentures into common stock.

     On a taxable equivalent basis, net interest income amounted to
$476 million in the third quarter of 1996, compared with $521 million in
the same period of 1995.  The net interest rate spread was 3.29% in the
third quarter of 1996, compared with 3.32% in the second quarter of 1996
and 3.47% one year ago.  The net yield on interest-earning assets was
4.28% compared with 4.26% in the second quarter of 1996 and 4.61% in
last year's third quarter.  

     For the first nine months of 1996, net interest income, on a
taxable equivalent basis, amounted to $1,499 million compared with
$1,538 million in the same period of 1995.  The year-to-date net

<PAGE> 11

interest rate spread was 3.37% in 1996 compared with 3.41% in 1995,
while the net yield on interest-earning assets was 4.35% in 1996 and
4.52% in 1995.

     The decrease in net interest income and the net interest rate
spread reflects the sale of approximately $3.4 billion in AFL-CIO credit 
card receivables in the second quarter of 1996, partially offset by the
expiration of promotional rates on credit card loans retained by the
Company and the repricing of certain accounts based on credit scores.  
The decline in the net yield from the third quarter of 1995 is 
attributable to the preceding factors as well as the costs of financing 
the stock buyback program and the reduced value of noninterest bearing 
sources of funds in a declining rate environment.  

     Interest lost on loans on nonaccrual status at September 30, 1996
and 1995 reduced net interest income by $4 million and $5 million for
the three months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, and by $12 million
and $15 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995.

     Securities processing fees increased 60% to $164 million compared
with $103 million in the third quarter of 1995.  In the first nine
months of 1996, securities processing fees were $484 million compared
with $303 million in 1995.  Strong internal growth in all areas and
acquisitions contributed to the increase in revenue.  Fees from other
processing increased 11% over the third quarter of last year.  The
Company reported $15 million of securities gains in the third quarter of
1996 compared with $17 million in the third quarter of 1995.  Revenues
from foreign exchange were $11 million, declining 39% from the second
quarter's $18 million.  Included in other income in the third quarters
of 1996 and 1995 were a gain of $21 million on the sale of a portion of
the Company's interest in Wing Hang Bank and a $47 million gain on the
sale of the ARCS mortgage servicing, respectively.

TRADING ACTIVITIES
- ------------------

     During the third quarter of 1996 the Company began providing its
customers with a broad array of foreign exchange risk management
products as a result of an agreement it had entered into with
Susquehanna Trading.  Foreign exchange contracts held in the trading
account at September 30, 1996 are as follows:

                                                             3rd Quarter

     The total trading portfolio's pre-tax earnings at risk averaged
approximately $2.3 million for the third quarter of 1996, and ranged
from approximately $1.5 million to $2.8 million.  During the third
quarter of 1996 daily trading revenue averaged approximately $0.2
million, and ranged from approximately a gain of $1.7 million to a loss
of $0.4 million.  During this period, trading revenue did not exceed the
Company's earnings at risk estimates on any given trading day.


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

     Total noninterest expense for the third quarter was $455 million,
down slightly from $457 million in the second quarter of this year, but
up from $424 million in the same period last year.  The rise in expenses
compared with last year's third 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 $1,355 million compared with $1,265 million in 1995. 
Occupancy expense was down 4% compared with the first nine months of
1995.  

     The efficiency ratio for the third quarter was 50.9% compared with
49.8% reported in the second quarter of 1996 and 49.1% one year ago. 
The increase is primarily the result of a time lag between the loss of
revenues from the Union card portfolio and commensurate expense
reductions.  The efficiency ratios exclude the gain on the sale of the
credit card portfolio in the second quarter of 1996 and the gain on the
sale of the ARCS mortgage servicing in the third quarter of 1995.  

     The effective tax rates for the third quarter and first nine

<PAGE> 13

months of 1996 were 38.4% in both periods compared with 38.4% and 38.3%
for the third quarter and first nine months of 1995.

     Nonperforming assets totaled $257 million at September 30, 1996,
compared with $271 million at June 30, 1996, a decrease of $14 million
or 5%.  This was the twenty-first consecutive quarter of nonperforming
asset decreases.

     At September 30, 1996, impaired loans (nonaccrual loans over $1
million) aggregated $136 million, of which $98 million exceeded their
fair value by $28 million.  Impaired loans at September 30, 1995 totaled
$163 million, of which $98 million exceeded their fair value by $24
million.  For the third quarters of 1996 and 1995, the average amount of
impaired loans was $138 million and $163 million and interest income
(cash received) on them was $79 thousand and $237 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 in the sections "Loan Loss Provision and Net
Charge-Offs" and "Sector Profitability".

*  Includes a $21 million recovery in the third quarter of 1996
   and a $99 million charge-off in the second quarter of 1996
   related to past due and bankrupt Union credit card accounts
   not sold.

     The allowance for loan losses was $957 million, or 2.66% of loans
at September 30, 1996, compared with $982 million, or 2.76% of loans at
June 30, 1996.

     For the nine months ended September 30, 1996 the provision
increased to $555 million compared with $225 million in the same period
of 1995.  The higher provision is principally related to a higher level
of anticipated losses on certain Consumers Edge (registered trademark)
accounts opened in 1994 and 1995, and on the credit card portfolio
generally.  The provision also covers $78 million of net charge-offs of
Union receivables not sold to Household, all of which were classified as
more than 90 days past due or bankrupt. 

     Foreign recoveries reflect a $20 million settlement with the
Republic of Croatia in the third quarter of 1996 and a $13 million
settlement with the Republic of Slovenia in the second quarter of 1996.

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

<PAGE> 15

Sectors.  A set of measurement principles has been developed to help
insure 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 third quarter and first nine 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 60% to $164 million compared with
$103 million in the third quarter of 1995.  In the first nine months of
1996, securities processing fees were $484 million compared with $303
million in 1995.  The increase in revenue reflects 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.  Internally generated growth, which was 15% for the third 
quarter, was led by ADRs, government securities clearance, and custody.  
Fee revenue from issuer services, custody, and securities industry 
products were $55 million, $61 million, and $48 million in the third 
quarter of 1996 compared with $40 million, $29 million, and $34 million 

<PAGE> 16

in 1995.  Fees from other processing increased 11% over the third 
quarter of last year.  Fees from trust and investment grew 28% in the 
third 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
- ------

     The decrease in net interest income in the Retail Banking Sector
principally reflects the sale of approximately $3.4 billion in credit
card receivables in the second quarter of 1996, partially offset by the
expiration of promotional rates on credit card receivables and the 
repricing of certain accounts based on credit scores.  The decrease in 
net interest income is also attributable to the decline in value of 
noninterest bearing sources of funds in a declining rate environment.  
The provision for loan losses in the Retail Banking Sector reflects 
increased charge-offs on Consumers Edge (registered trademark) accounts 
opened in 1994 and 1995.  The provision also reflects a $21 million 
recovery in the third quarter of 1996 and a $99 million charge-off in 
the second quarter of 1996 related to past due and bankrupt Union 
credit card accounts not sold.  The table and discussion below provide 
information relating to the Company's credit card portfolio excluding 
the Union portfolio:

     During 1996 the Company's credit card portfolio has experienced
rising delinquencies and charge-offs.  Loans delinquent more than 30
days increased from $296 million at June 30, 1996 to $351 million at
September 30, 1996.  Loans past due more than 90 days increased from

<PAGE> 17

$165 million at June 30, 1996 to $182 million at September 30, 1996. 
Credit card loans delinquent more than 90 days have a significant risk
of loss.

     This adverse trend in credit quality reflects an industry-wide
deterioration in consumer credit performance as well as increased losses
attributable to bankruptcies resulting from a 1994 change in the
bankruptcy laws.  Bankrupt accounts at September 30, 1996 were 80%
higher than at September 30, 1995.  At September 30, 1996 bankrupt
accounts included $7 million that were not yet 30 days past due, up more
than 60% from the third quarter of 1995.  The deterioration in credit
quality also reflects increased losses on Consumers Edge (registered
trademark) accounts opened in 1994 and 1995.  The Company originated
1.029 million Consumers Edge (registered trademark) accounts in 1994;
however, as a result of rising delinquencies among these accounts, the 
Company restricted growth of Consumers Edge (registered trademark) 
accounts, and it originated only 851 thousand accounts in 1995.  For the
first nine months of 1996 the Company originated 327 thousand Consumers
Edge (registered trademark) accounts.  The Company's origination
activities in 1996 have focused on the Toys-R-Us (registered trademark)
card.

      Future levels of charge-offs are difficult to predict because
they depend upon future economic trends, consumer behavior, growth in
the portfolio, competition, and other factors.  Some of these factors
are beyond the control of the Company.  The rising trend in credit card
delinquencies and personal bankruptcies may result in future charge-offs
exceeding historic levels.

     Lower FDIC insurance premiums contributed to the decline in
noninterest expense in the Retail Sector.

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 Republics of Croatia and Slovenia related to
Yugoslavian debt in 1996.  Syndication fees and income from the
Company's offshore banking subsidiaries were lower in 1996 compared to
last year.

Other
- -----

     The Other Sector reflects the difference between the total
provision for loan losses and that charged off by the sectors. 
Noninterest income includes a gain of $21 million on the sale of a
portion of the Company's interest in Wing Hang Bank in the third quarter
of 1996, a $400 million gain on the sale of credit card loans in the
second quarter of 1996, and a $47 million gain on the sale of the ARCS
mortgage servicing in the third quarter of 1995.  Securities gains and
foreign exchange and other trading activities decreased $8 million from
the third quarter of 1995.
