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

     The Company's reported second quarter fully diluted earnings per
share were a record 67 cents, up 14% from the 59 cents earned on a
normalized basis in the second quarter of 1996.  Second quarter net
income was $269 million, up 9% from the $248 million earned on a
normalized basis in the same period last year.  In the second quarter of
1996, the Company reported a $400 million pre-tax gain on the sale of
its Union credit card portfolio.  In 1996 the Company also recorded a
$350 million provision related to its credit card portfolio.  The net
after-tax effect of these two items was $31 million, or 7 cents per
share.  Earnings per share, on a fully diluted basis, were a record
$1.31 for the first half of 1997, up 14% from the $1.15 earned on a
normalized basis last year.  Net income for the first six months was a
record $534 million, an increase of 9% over last year's $491 million on
a normalized basis.

     Return on average assets for the second quarter was 1.83% compared 
with 1.86% in the first quarter of 1997 and 1.82% on a normalized basis
in the second quarter of 1996.  Return on average common equity was a
record, on a normalized basis, of 21.84% in the second quarter of 1997
compared with 20.90% in the first quarter of 1997 and 19.51% in the
second quarter of 1996.

     Including the gain on the sale of the Union portfolio and the $350
million provision related to the credit card portfolio in 1996 net
income was $278 million and $521 million for the second quarter and
year-to-date periods while earnings per share were 66 cents and $1.23.
On the same basis, for the second quarter of 1996 and for the first half
of 1996 return on average assets was 2.05% and 1.92% while return on
average common equity was 21.97% and 20.40%. 
     
     Tangible fully diluted earnings per share (earnings before the
amortization of goodwill and intangibles) were $0.72 per share in the
second quarter of 1997 compared with $0.64 on a normalized basis in the
second quarter of 1996.  On the same basis, tangible return on average
assets was 2.01% in the second quarter of 1997 compared with a
normalized 2.02% in the second quarter of 1996; and tangible return on
average common equity was 31.75% in the second quarter of 1997 compared
with a normalized 27.59% in the second quarter of 1996.
     
     Revenues from the Company's securities processing businesses
continued their strong broad based performance and were up 18% over the
second quarter of 1996 to $190 million.  ADR's, corporate trust,
government securities clearance, mutual funds, and stock transfer were
particularly strong.

     Fees from other processing, which includes funds transfer, cash
management, and trade finance, grew 14% over last year's second quarter
with strong growth in all areas.

<PAGE> 10
     
     Trust and investment continued to benefit from new business and
strong markets in the second quarter of 1997 which combined to increase
fees 11% to $44 million compared with $40 million last year.  
     
     Net interest income, on a taxable equivalent basis, totaled $489
million in the second quarter down from $502 million in the second
quarter of last year due to the sale of $4.3 billion in credit card
receivables.  
     
     Average fully diluted shares outstanding were 399 million for the
quarter, down from the 405 million in the first quarter and from the 418
million in the prior year period.  The decline from the first quarter
and prior year was the result of the Company's stock buyback program.
     
CAPITAL
- -------
     
     The Company's estimated Tier 1 capital and Total capital ratios
remained strong at 7.83% and 11.99% at June 30, 1997 compared with 7.92%
and 12.28% at March 31, 1997, and 7.98% and 12.93% at June 30, 1996. 
Tangible common equity as a percent of total assets was 5.88% at June
30, 1997 compared with 6.39% at March 31, 1997 and 7.51% one year ago. 
The decline in the tangible common equity ratio is primarily
attributable to the repurchase of common stock and growth in assets. 
The leverage ratio was 8.04% at June 30, 1997 compared with 7.83% at
March 31, 1997 and 7.76% one year ago.

     For the first six months of 1997, net interest income, on a

taxable equivalent basis, amounted to $986 million compared with $1,024
million in the first half of 1996.  The year-to-date net interest rate
spread was 3.21% in 1997 compared with 3.41% in 1996, while the net
yield on interest-earning assets was 4.16% in 1997 and 4.39% in 1996.
     
     The declines in net interest income, the spread, and the yield
were primarily attributable to the sale of approximately $900 million of
credit card receivables in the first quarter of 1997 and $3.4 billion of
credit card receivables in June of 1996, partially offset by continued
growth in the Company's corporate loan portfolio.

     Interest lost on loans on nonaccrual status at June 30, 1997 and
1996 reduced net interest income by $2 million and $3 million for the
three months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, and by $6 million and $8
million for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996.

     Securities processing fees increased 18% to $190 million compared
with $161 million in the second quarter of 1996.  In the first half of
1997, securities processing fees were $375 million compared with $320
million in 1996.  Strong internal growth in almost all areas drove the
increase in revenue.  The Company reported $33 million of securities
gains in the second quarter of 1997 compared with $7 million in the
first quarter and $30 million last year.  Revenues from foreign exchange
and other trading activities were $25 million compared with $27 million
in the first quarter and $21 million in the second quarter of 1996.

     The Company expanded its offering of foreign exchange risk
management products in 1996 as a result of an agreement it entered into
with Susquehanna Trading, a firm with significant expertise in foreign
exchange options.  In 1997, the Company expanded its activities with
Susquehanna Trading to include interest rate management products.
Activity related to Susquehanna Trading is the primary reason for the
increase in the notional amounts and trading account balances for
foreign exchange option contracts and commitments to purchase and sell
foreign exchange in 1997.

     The Company manages trading risk through a system of position
limits, an earnings at risk methodology, stop loss advisory limits, and
other market sensitivity measures.  Earnings at risk is designed to
measure with 95% certainty the Company's exposure to changes in earnings
resulting from price fluctuations in the trading portfolio over a 24
hour period.  The total trading portfolio's pre-tax earnings at risk
averaged approximately $2.2 million for the second quarter of 1997, and
ranged from approximately $1.5 million to $3.7 million.  During the
second quarter of 1997 daily trading revenue averaged approximately $0.4
million, and ranged from approximately a gain of $2.6 million to a loss
of $1.6 million.  During this period, total trading losses did not
exceed the Company's total earnings at risk estimates on any given
trading day.

     Nonperforming assets totaled $243 million at June 30, 1997,
compared with $248 million at March 31, 1997.  The increase in
commercial real estate was attributable to the addition of a $37 million
loan on an office building in Pennsylvania.  Subsequent to June 30, 1997
a substantial loan to a retailer became nonperforming.  As a result,
nonperforming assets are expected to increase in the third quarter of
1997.

     At June 30, 1997, impaired loans (nonaccrual loans over $1
million) aggregated $148 million, of which $106 million exceeded their
fair value by $18 million.  Impaired loans at June 30, 1996 totaled $140
million, of which $105 million exceeded their fair value by $23 million. 
For the second quarters of 1997 and 1996, the average amount of impaired
loans was $149 million and $154 million and interest income (cash
received) on them was $361 thousand and $158 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".

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
insure that reported results of the sectors track their economic
performance.  Sector results are subject to restatement whenever
improvements are made in the measurement principles or organizational
changes are made.  Prior year results have been restated to reflect the
transfer of custom banking from the Retail Sector to the Trust, and
Securities and Other Processing Sector and middle market and certain
real estate lending from the Retail Sector to the Corporate Sector. 
Changes were also made in the allocation of long-term debt and certain
foreign branch costs.

     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.

     The Trust, and Securities and Other Processing Sector provides a
broad array of fee based services.  Trust includes personal trust and
investment management.  Securities processing includes services to both
institutional issuers and investors.

     The Retail Banking Sector includes credit card financing, consumer
lending, and residential mortgage lending.

     The Corporate Banking Sector is divided into special industries
banking, U.S. commercial banking, middle market banking, international
banking, and factoring.

     The Other Sector includes trading and investing activities,
treasury services to other sectors, general administration, and the
difference between the recorded provision for loan losses and that
allocated to the other sectors.
     
     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 18% to $190 million compared with
$161 million in the second quarter of 1996.  In the first half of 1997,
securities processing fees were $375 million compared with $320 million
in 1996.  Strong internal growth in almost all areas drove the increase
in revenue.  ADR's, corporate trust, government securities clearance,
mutual funds, and stock transfer were particularly strong.  Fee revenue
from issuer services, custody, and securities industry products was $74
million, $62 million, and $54 million in the second quarter of 1997
compared with $54 million, $61 million, and $46 million in 1996.  Fees
from other processing increased 14% over the second quarter of last
year.  Fees from trust and investment grew 11% in the second quarter of
1997, reflecting new business and generally strong markets.  The rise in
noninterest expense is primarily related to the abovementioned growth. 

Retail
- ------

     The decrease in net interest income, noninterest income, and
noninterest expense in the Retail Banking Sector principally reflects
the sale of approximately $900 million of credit card receivables in the
first quarter of 1997 and $3.4 billion of credit card receivables in the
second quarter of 1996.  The provision for loan losses in the Retail
Banking Sector principally reflects charge-offs on Consumers Edge (registered 
trademark) accounts opened in 1994 and 1995.  The table and discussion below
provide information relating to the Company's credit card portfolio
excluding the Union portfolio:

*  Excludes $99 million attributed to charge-offs of past due and
   bankrupt Union credit card accounts not sold to Household.

     Loans delinquent more than 30 days increased to $292 million at
June 30, 1997 from $283 million at March 31, 1997 while slightly down
from $296 million at June 30, 1996.  Loans past due more than 90 days
increased to $173 million at June 30, 1997 from $146 million at March
31, 1997 and from $165 million at June 30, 1996.  The increase in loans
90 days past due in the second quarter of 1997 compared with the first
quarter is primarily attributable to the Associates sale.  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.  At June 30, 1997 bankrupt accounts included $4 million
that were not yet 30 days past due.  The deterioration in credit quality
also reflects increased losses on Consumers Edge (registered trademark) 
accounts opened in 1994 and 1995.  As a result of rising delinquencies 
related to its Consumers Edge (registered trademark) accounts, the Company 
reduced Consumers Edge (registered trademark) new account originations to 
330 thousand in 1996 down from 851 thousand accounts in 1995 and 1.029 
million accounts in 1994.  For the first half of 1997 the Company originated 
3 thousand Consumers Edge (registered trademark) accounts.

     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

<PAGE> 18

exceeding historic levels.

Corporate
- ---------

     Net interest income increased in the Corporate Banking Sector due
to strong loan growth in the U.S. Commercial Banking and Special
Industries sectors.  Income from the Company's offshore banking
subsidiaries was lower in the second quarter of 1997 compared to last
year.

Other
- -----

     The Other Sector includes the difference between the total
provision for loan losses and that charged off by the sectors.  The
decrease primarily reflects the $350 million provision for credit card
loans in the second quarter of 1996.  Foreign exchange revenues
increased to $21 million in the second quarter of 1997 from $18 million
in the same period last year.  Securities gains increased to $33 million
from $30 million in the second quarter of 1996.  The decrease in
noninterest income principally reflects the $400 million gain on the
sale of credit card receivables in the second quarter of 1996.
