BUSINESS GENERAL COMPANY INFORMATION As used herein, the "Company" means BayBanks, Inc. alone or BayBanks, Inc. together with its consolidated subsidiaries, depending on the context, and the "BayBanks" means the Company's three bank subsidiaries. BayBanks, Inc., established in 1928, is one of the largest bank holding companies in New England and is headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts. At December 31, 1994, the Company had total assets of $10.8 billion, total deposits of $9.0 billion, total stockholders' equity of $789 million, and 5,654 full-time equivalent employees. The Company's largest subsidiary is BayBank, a Massachusetts commercial bank based in Burlington, Massachusetts, that had total assets of $9.7 billion at December 31, 1994. BayBank Boston, N.A. is based in Boston, Massachusetts and BayBank Connecticut, N.A. is located in Hartford, Connecticut. The Company also maintains a loan production office in Portland, Maine. The Company has an extensive banking network with 205 full-service offices and 366 automated banking facilities serving 151 cities and towns in Massachusetts and two in Connecticut. The hallmark of the Company's operating approach is its use of advanced banking technology, featuring state-of-the-art computer and telecommunications technology to process customer transactions, provide customer information, and increase the efficiency of its data processing activities. BayBank Systems, Inc., a nonbank subsidiary of the Company, engages in data processing, product and systems development, and other technologically oriented operations, principally for the Company but also for franchisees and correspondents. In particular, BayBank Systems, Inc., operates the proprietary X-Press 24(R) and X-Press 24 Cash(R) automated teller machine ("ATM") networks. BayBanks Credit Corp. (a subsidiary of BayBank Systems, Inc.) and BayBanks Mortgage Corp. (a subsidiary of BayBank) provide instalment loan, credit card, and mortgage loan operations and services. BayBanks Mortgage Corp. also services approximately $1.9 billion of residential mortgage loans originated by the BayBanks that have been placed in the secondary market. Other subsidiaries provide brokerage, investment management, and general management services to the BayBanks and other affiliates. The following presents selected financial information for the Company's three banking subsidiaries:

GENERAL BANKING BUSINESS The Company provides a complete range of banking and related financial services, with particular emphasis on consumer and middle market business customers. In addition to its normal deposit and lending activities, the Company aggressively pursues fee income opportunities, both in traditional and automated banking services and in the investment field, including acting as investment adviser and shareholder servicing agent for BayFunds(R), a proprietary mutual fund family. 1 3 Consumer Banking The Company -- a recognized leader in consumer banking -- has the largest consumer market share in Massachusetts. More households in Massachusetts do business with the BayBanks than with any other banking organization. The Company offers a wide variety of consumer banking products, including FDIC-insured checking, money market, savings, and time deposit accounts; credit cards; home mortgages and home equity financing; instalment loans; and trust and private banking services. The Company operates over 1,000 ATMs in Massachusetts and Connecticut, including 200 cash machines located in retail stores, and processes approximately 11 million transactions per month; the Company has over 1 million ATM cards in use. More than 90 nonaffiliated financial institutions add an additional 280 ATMs to the X-Press 24 network. X-Press 24 cardholders can perform automated banking transactions at over 130,000 CIRRUS(R) and NYCE(R) terminals worldwide. Cardholders can also use their cards to make point-of-sale purchases at retail establishments worldwide, including grocery stores, automobile service stations and, through BayBank X-Press Check(R), anywhere a MasterCard(R) is accepted. The Company provides a broad range of support and maintenance services to the X-Press 24 network member institutions. In addition to its branch and ATM networks, the Company operates a state-of-the-art customer sales and service center twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, that provides customer service and product information, opens consumer bank accounts, and arranges consumer loans. Corporate Banking The Company provides a comprehensive range of cash management, credit, deposit, international banking, and related services to businesses, hospitals, educational institutions, and local governments, with particular emphasis on the middle market. Specialized products available to BayBanks' business and governmental customers include personal computer-based cash management services with which a customer may perform a range of deposit account transactions; X-Press Trade(R), offering automated international letter of credit services; BayBank X-Press Tax(R) for automated payroll tax depositing; a Collateralized Municipal Money Market Account; and the Escrow Client Account Service. BayBank also acts as trustee or custodian for employee benefit and pension plans. Specific lending groups focus on healthcare and educational institutions, municipalities, automobile dealers, construction and contracting companies, retailers, emerging technology companies, and international trade finance. The Company also provides secured financing, in the form of asset-based lending, leasing, and real estate lending, for commercial customers. The Company's general corporate lending activities are directed toward small and middle market companies in the New England region, with a primary emphasis on Massachusetts and southern New Hampshire enterprises. Investment Services The Company's subsidiaries offer a wide range of investment services to individuals and business customers. The government and municipal securities dealerships at BayBank Boston, N.A., participate in the underwriting of Massachusetts municipal obligations and engage in private placement activities. BayBanks Brokerage Services, Inc., provides retail brokerage services. BayBanks Investment Management, Inc., a registered investment adviser, provides portfolio advice and asset management for individuals and businesses and manages the BayBank trust department's common trust funds. As of December 31, 1994, the BayBank trust department had total assets with a book value of $5.3 billion under management or in custody. BayBanks Investment Management, Inc., and BayBank Boston, N.A. act as investment advisers to BayFunds(R), the Company's proprietary mutual fund family, which consists of money market, equity, and bond portfolios with aggregate assets of more than $1.3 billon at year-end 1994. 2 4 PROPOSED ACQUISITION In December 1994, the Company executed an agreement to acquire NFS Financial Corp. ("NFS"), a southern New Hampshire-based holding company with total assets of $619 million. The acquisition is subject to approval of the shareholders of NFS and of various federal and state bank regulatory authorities and is targeted for consummation in the third quarter of 1995. As a result, NFS, which owns two federal savings banks, would become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. This will permit the Company to expand its operations directly into the New Hampshire market through NFS's existing branch systems and relationships. This will be a natural extension of the Company's already strong presence in the Massachusetts portion of the Merrimack Valley. COMPETITION The BayBanks operate in a highly competitive banking market. All of the banks compete with other commercial banks in their respective service areas, with several large commercial banks located in the City of Boston, and with a number of large regional and national commercial banks located throughout the country. Legislation enacted in recent years and changing regulatory interpretations have substantially increased the geographic and product competition among commercial banks, thrift institutions, mortgage companies, leasing companies, credit unions, finance companies, and nonbanking institutions, including mutual funds, insurance companies, brokerage firms, investment banks, and a variety of financial services and advisory companies. In the international business, the BayBanks compete with other domestic banks having foreign operations and with major foreign banks and other financial institutions. GOVERNMENT MONETARY POLICY The earnings and growth of the banking industry in general are affected by the policies of regulatory authorities, including the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System ("Federal Reserve Board"). An important function of the Federal Reserve Board is to regulate the national money supply. Among the instruments of monetary policy used by the Federal Reserve Board to implement its objectives are open market operations in U.S. Government securities, changes in the discount rates on member bank borrowings, and changes in amount or methods of calculating reserve requirements against member banks' deposits. These means, used in varying combinations, influence the overall growth of bank loans, investments, and deposits as well as the rates charged on loans or paid for deposits. The monetary policies of the Federal Reserve Board have had a significant effect on the operating results of commercial banks in the past and are expected to continue to have such an effect in the future. The effect of such policies upon the future business and earnings of the Company cannot be predicted. GENERAL BANKING REGULATION The Company is a bank holding company subject to supervision and regulation by the Federal Reserve Board under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956. As a bank holding company, the activities of the Company and its bank and nonbank subsidiaries are limited to the business of banking and activities closely related or incidental to banking. The Company may not acquire the ownership or control of more than 5% of any class of voting shares or substantially all of the assets of any company, including a bank, without the prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board. The Company is also subject to the Massachusetts and Connecticut bank holding company laws that, respectively require the Company to obtain the prior approval of the Massachusetts Board of Bank Incorporation and the Connecticut Banking Commissioner for holding company mergers and bank acquisitions. The Company's largest subsidiary bank, BayBank, is subject to supervision and examination by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") and the Commissioner of Banks of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts ("Bank Commissioner"). BayBank Boston, N.A. and BayBank Connecticut, N.A., are national banking associations subject to supervision and examination by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency ("OCC"). All of the Company's subsidiary banks are insured by and subject to certain regulations of the FDIC. They are also subject to various requirements and restrictions under federal and state law, which include requirements to obtain regulatory approval of certain business transactions, including establishing and 3 5 closing bank branches; requirements to maintain reserves against deposits; restrictions on the types and amounts of loans that may be granted and the interest that may be charged thereon; and limitations on the types of investments that may be made and the types of services that may be offered. Various consumer laws and regulations also affect the operations of the Company's subsidiary banks. Under the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989, a depository institution insured by the FDIC can be held liable for any loss incurred by, or reasonably expected to be incurred by, the FDIC in connection with (i) the default of a commonly controlled FDIC-insured depository institution or (ii) any assistance provided by the FDIC to a commonly controlled FDIC-insured depository institution in danger of default. Because the Company is a holding company, its right to participate in the assets of any subsidiary upon the latter's liquidation or reorganization will be subject to the prior claims of the subsidiary's creditors (including depositors in the case of bank subsidiaries), except to the extent that the Company may itself be a creditor with recognized claims against the subsidiary. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 ("FDICIA") provided for increased funding for FDIC deposit insurance and for expanded regulation of the banking industry. Among other things, FDICIA requires the federal banking regulators to take prompt corrective action with respect to depository institutions that do not meet minimum capital requirements. FDICIA establishes five capital ratio categories: "well capitalized," "adequately capitalized," "undercapitalized," "significantly undercapitalized," and "critically undercapitalized." A depository institution is well capitalized if it significantly exceeds the minimum level required by regulation for each relevant capital measure, adequately capitalized if it meets each such measure, undercapitalized if it fails to meet any such measure, significantly undercapitalized if it is significantly below any such measure, and critically undercapitalized if it fails to meet any critical capital level set forth in the regulations. The critical capital level must be a level of tangible equity equal to at least 2% of total assets, but may be fixed at a higher level by regulation. A depository institution may be deemed to be in a capitalization category that is lower than is indicated by its actual capital position if it receives an unsatisfactory examination rating and may be reclassified to a lower category by action based on other supervisory criteria. For an institution to be well capitalized it must have a total risk-based capital ratio of at least 10%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of at least 6%, and a leverage ratio of at least 5% and not be subject to any specific capital order or directive. For an institution to be adequately capitalized it must have a total risk-based capital ratio of at least 8%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of at least 4%, and a leverage ratio of at least 4% (3% in some cases). FDICIA generally prohibits a depository institution from making any capital distribution (including payment of a dividend) or paying any management fee to its holding company if the depository institution would thereafter be undercapitalized. Undercapitalized depository institutions are subject to increased regulatory monitoring and growth limitations and are required to submit capital restoration plans. A depository institution's holding company must guarantee the capital plan, up to an amount equal to the lesser of 5% of the depository institution's assets at the time it becomes undercapitalized or the amount needed to comply with the plan. The federal banking agencies may not accept a capital plan without determining, among other things, that the plan is based on realistic assumptions and is likely to succeed in restoring the depository institution's capital. If a depository institution fails to submit an acceptable plan, it is treated as if it is significantly undercapitalized. Significantly undercapitalized depository institutions may be subject to a number of requirements and restrictions, including orders to sell sufficient voting stock to become adequately capitalized, requirements to reduce total assets, and cessation of receipt of deposits from correspondent banks. Critically undercapitalized depository institutions are subject to appointment of a receiver or conservator. Each of the bank subsidiaries of the Company exceeds current minimum regulatory capital requirements and qualify as well capitalized under the regulations relating to prompt corrective action (see "Regulatory Capital Requirements"). The FDIC has adopted regulations governing the receipt of brokered deposits that require certain banks, depending on their capital ratios and other factors, to obtain a waiver from the FDIC before they may accept brokered deposits, and that limit the interest rates certain banks can offer on deposits. Although the Company 4 6 does not solicit brokered deposits, all of its bank subsidiaries are free to do so without restraint under the regulation. Under FDIC's risk-based deposit insurance premium system for the Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF"), which went into effect on January 1, 1993, banks currently pay within a range of 23 cents per $100 of domestic deposits (the prior rate for all institutions) to 31 cents per $100 of domestic deposits, depending on their risk classification. The FDIC has proposed a potential reduction in these rates in 1995. To arrive at a risk-based assessment for each bank, the FDIC places the bank in one of nine risk categories, using a two-step process based first on capital ratios and then on other relevant supervisory information. Each institution is assigned to one of three groups (well capitalized, adequately capitalized, or undercapitalized) based on its capital ratios. For these purposes, a well capitalized institution is one that has at least a 10% total risk-based capital ratio, a 6% Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio, and a 5% Tier 1 leverage capital ratio. An adequately capitalized institution must have at least an 8% total risk-based capital ratio, a 4% Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio, and a 4% Tier 1 leverage capital ratio. An undercapitalized institution is one that does not meet either of the foregoing definitions. Each institution is also assigned to one of three supervisory subgroups based on an evaluation of the risk posed by the institution to the BIF. Well capitalized banks presenting the lowest risk to the BIF pay the lowest assessment rate, while undercapitalized banks presenting the highest risk pay the highest rate. The BayBanks' capital ratios at December 31, 1994, placed all of them in the well capitalized category for assessment purposes. The assessment will depend upon the level of deposit balances and the BayBanks' applicable risk categories (see "Regulatory Capital Requirements"). Other significant provisions of FDICIA require federal banking regulators to draft standards in a number of areas to assure bank safety and soundness, including internal controls; credit underwriting; asset growth; management compensation; ratios of classified assets to capital; and earnings. The legislation also contains provisions that require the adoption of capital guidelines applicable to interest rate risks; tighten independent auditing requirements; restrict the activities and investments of state-chartered insured banks; strengthen various consumer banking laws; limit the ability of undercapitalized banks to borrow from the Federal Reserve's discount window; and require regulators to perform annual on-site bank examinations and set standards for real estate lending. REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS Under the risk-based capital measures for banks and bank holding companies, a banking organization's reported balance sheet is converted to risk-based amounts by assigning each asset to a risk category, which is then multiplied by the risk weight for that category. Off-balance sheet exposures are converted to risk-based amounts through a two-step process. First, off-balance sheet assets and credit equivalent amounts (e.g., interest rate swaps) are multiplied by a credit conversion factor depending on the defined categorization of the particular item. Then the converted items are assigned to a risk category that weights the items according to their relative risk. The total of the risk-weighted on-and off-balance sheet amounts represents a banking organization's risk-adjusted assets for purposes of determining capital ratios under the risk-based guidelines. Risk-adjusted assets can either exceed or be less than reported assets, depending on the risk profile of the banking organization. Risk-adjusted assets for institutions such as the Company will generally be less than reported assets because retail banking activities include proportionally more residential real estate loans with a lower risk rating and a relatively small off-balance sheet position. A banking organization's total qualifying capital includes two components, core capital (Tier 1 capital) and supplementary capital (Tier 2 capital). Core capital, which must comprise at least half of total capital, includes common stockholders' equity, qualifying perpetual preferred stock, and minority interests, less goodwill. Supplementary capital includes the allowance for loan losses (subject to certain limitations), other perpetual preferred stock, certain other capital instruments, and term subordinated debt, which is discounted at 20% a year during its final five years of maturity. The Company's major capital components include stockholders' equity in core capital, and the allowance for loan losses and grandfathered floating rate notes (subject to a 60% discount) in supplementary capital. 5 7 At December 31, 1994, the minimum risk-based capital requirements were 4.00% for core capital and 8.00% for total capital. Federal banking regulators have also adopted leverage capital guidelines to supplement the risk-based measures. The leverage ratio is determined by dividing Tier 1 capital as defined under the risk-based guidelines by average total assets (not risk-adjusted) for the preceding quarter. The minimum leverage ratio is 3.00%, although banking organizations are expected to exceed that amount by 100 or 200 basis points or more, depending upon their circumstances. At December 31, 1994, the Company's consolidated risk-based capital ratios were 11.51% for core capital and 13.06% for total capital, and at December 31, 1993, were 10.68% and 12.40%, respectively. The Company's consolidated leverage ratio was 7.35% at December 31, 1994, and 7.26% at December 31, 1993. These ratios exceeded the minimum regulatory guidelines. The following table presents the risk-based and leverage capital ratios required for depository institutions to be considered well capitalized under applicable federal regulations and the reported capital ratios of the Company and its bank subsidiaries at December 31, 1994:

For the first and second quarters of 1994, a dividend of $.35 per share was paid. The quarterly dividend was increased to $.45 per share for the third and fourth quarters of 1994. On January 26, 1995, the Board of Directors declared a first quarter dividend of $.50 per share, payable on March 1, 1995.

(2) Includes interest-bearing deposits in other banks, federal funds sold, securities purchased under agreement to resell, bankers' acceptances purchased, and trading account assets. (3) Nonperforming loans are included in the average balances. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Thus, loans that are nonperforming do not contribute to net interest income and affect the net interest margin. (4) Includes federal funds purchased, securities sold under agreement to repurchase, and demand notes issued to the U.S. Treasury. (5) Other liabilities include guarantee of ESOP indebtedness in 1990 - 1994. (6) The risk-based capital ratios and the leverage capital ratio were phased in as of December 31, 1990. 15 17 SUMMARY OF OPERATIONS

- --------------- (7) Certain items in the summary that are tax-exempt have been restated to include the federal tax benefit derived from income on obligations of state and local governments, industrial revenue bonds, and certain other securities, thus facilitating the comparison between returns on alternative types of earning assets and between totals that contain varying mixtures of fully taxable and federal tax-exempt income. Because of the interplay of federal and Massachusetts income taxes, $1.00 of federal tax-exempt income was the fully taxable equivalent of $1.51 in 1994. (8) In 1990, the Company recognized a $4.8 million pension settlement gain and a $1.2 million gain from the sale of its payroll processing service. In 1989, the Company recognized a $2.5 million gain from liquidation of loans acquired at a discount in 1987. (9) For 1989-1994, the difference between earnings (loss) per share as reported and fully diluted was less than 3%. (10) Based on net income after accounting change. The per share effect of the cumulative accounting change was $.05 per share. (11) 1994 includes the impact of the average unrealized gain on the securities available for sale portfolio. 16 18 ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS. FINANCIAL REVIEW EARNINGS ANALYSIS OPERATING INCOME Operating income, presented in Table A, is on a tax equivalent basis, excludes net securities gains and the provisions for loan losses and the other real estate owned (OREO) reserve, and is before income taxes and the cumulative effect of an accounting change. Operating income was $223.0 million in 1994, compared with $181.0 million in 1993 and $175.2 million in 1992. The 23% increase in 1994 from 1993 resulted primarily from a 10% increase in net interest income and a 4% increase in noninterest income, combined with operating expenses that were only 2% above 1993 levels.

NET INTEREST INCOME (TAX EQUIVALENT BASIS) Net interest income (TABLE B, page 18) was $472.9 million in 1994, compared with $429.2 million in 1993 and $420.7 million in 1992. Net interest income and the net interest margin are affected by the quantity and mix of interest-bearing assets and liabilities and movements in interest rates. 17 19 The growth in net interest income in 1994 compared with 1993 was primarily the result of a 9% increase in average earning assets and an increase in interest rates. Instalment lending played a significant role in earning asset increases for the year as a whole, while commercial lending activity was particularly strong in the second half of 1994 (TABLE E, page 22). In addition, growth was affected by the general expansion of the securities portfolios over the course of the year. The yield on earning assets was 7.10% in 1994, compared with 6.94% in 1993, as the result of higher rates on the commercial and commercial real estate loan portfolios as market rates increased and to some increases in yields on securities as maturities were reinvested at higher rates. BayBanks' funding costs during 1994 increased due to an increased volume of purchased funds and an atmosphere of rising interest rates. Rates on core deposits (which include money market deposit accounts and consumer certificates of deposit) steadily increased during 1994, albeit at a much slower rate than general market rates. The cost of total interest-bearing liabilities (as a percentage of average earning assets) increased 12 basis points to 2.06% in 1994 compared with 1993. TABLE B ANALYSIS OF NET INTEREST INCOME

FEES, SERVICE CHARGES, AND OTHER NONINTEREST INCOME Noninterest income consists primarily of service charges and fees on deposit accounts and fees from credit and non-credit services and is well diversified among consumer, corporate, and small business banking activities. Noninterest income (TABLE C, page 19) increased to $207.3 million in 1994 from $198.5 million in 1993 and $183.9 million in 1992. Service charges and fees on deposit accounts continued to provide over one-half of noninterest income. Total service charges and fees on deposits increased 4% to $109.9 million in 1994, compared with $105.2 million in 1993. An increase in the number of consumer accounts and selected repricings resulted in higher service charges and fees from consumer accounts. These increases were partially offset by a decline in corporate service charges resulting from higher earnings credit rates on compensating deposit balances. Other components of noninterest income experienced growth during 1994. Processing fees increased 17% to $16.2 million in 1994 from $13.8 million in 1993 primarily as the result of an increased volume of point of sale transactions. Investment management and brokerage fees increased 31% to $8.3 million in 1994 from $6.3 million in 1993 due primarily to investment advisory fees from higher BayFunds(R) balances on average in 1994 as compared with 1993. The total amount of assets under management in BayFunds was $1.3 billion at 18 20 December 31, 1994, compared with $1.1 billion at December 31, 1993, and $243 million at December 31, 1992. Mortgage banking fees were $7.2 million in 1994, compared with $12.0 million in 1993 and $10.2 million in 1992. A decrease in refinance volumes in 1994, as market interest rates increased, resulted in lower fee income. Student loan sales gains were $4.5 million in 1994, compared with $1.8 million in 1993 and $1.0 million in 1992, resulting from a higher volume of sales and more favorable pricing.

OPERATING EXPENSES Operating expenses, excluding OREO and legal expenses related to loan workouts (TABLE D, page 20), were $447.3 million in 1994, compared with $429.2 million in 1993 and $410.9 million in 1992. Salaries and benefits increased 8% to $229.6 million in 1994, compared with $213.0 million in 1993, primarily as the result of normal salary increases, additional staffing requirements, and higher accruals for performance awards. Marketing and public relations increased due to higher promotional activity related to corporate and consumer lending, as well as community banking programs. Service bureau and other data processing expenses increased 5% to $17.4 million in 1994, compared with $16.5 million in 1993, as a result of updating processing systems. Professional services declined 21% in 1994 to $10.8 million from $13.7 million in 1993, primarily due to lower utilization of outside staffing services in the Company's mortgage banking operations. Courier expenses increased due primarily to an increase in armored carrier costs associated with additional remote ATMs and extended branch hours. Legal and consulting expenses reflect increased costs for consumer business projects as well as an increase in general legal costs in 1994 compared with 1993. The cost of administering, managing, and disposing of OREO properties and legal expenses related to such workouts was $9.8 million in 1994, compared with $17.5 million in 1993, reflecting the continued disposition of OREO and the resolution of workout credits. 19 21 TABLE D OPERATING EXPENSES

PROVISIONS FOR LOAN LOSSES AND THE OREO RESERVE The provisions for loan losses and the OREO reserve (TABLE A, page 17) declined substantially in 1994 to $33.4 million, compared with $61.3 million in 1993 and $152.3 million in 1992, reflecting continued improvements in credit quality. The provision for loan losses was $24.0 million in 1994, compared with $36.5 million in 1993 and $106.8 million in 1992. The provision for the OREO reserve was $9.4 million in 1994, compared with $24.8 million in 1993 and $45.5 million in 1992. The OREO provision includes net gains on sales of properties of $6.3 million in 1994, $7.6 million in 1993, and $54 thousand in 1992. INCOME TAXES The Company reported a provision for income taxes of $73.5 million in 1994, compared with $47.1 million in 1993. The effective tax rate in 1994 was 40.4%, compared with 41.0% in 1993. During 1993, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) completed a review of the Company's tax returns for the years 1986 through 1990 and proposed certain adjustments that related to the timing of income and expense recognition for tax purposes. The Company resolved the majority of these adjustments during 1994 through the appeals process, and finalization of the settlement is expected during the second quarter of 1995. The tax and interest payments associated with the adjustments did not have a material effect on BayBanks' financial statements. BALANCE SHEET REVIEW TRENDS IN EARNING ASSETS Average earning assets increased to $9.4 billion in 1994, compared with $8.6 billion in 1993. The increase was, in part, the result of growth in average loan balances to $6.2 billion during 1994, as compared with $5.9 billion in 1993, and is the first overall increase since 1989. In addition, earning assets increased due to the expansion of the average securities portfolios from $2.7 billion to $3.2 billion. 20 22 LOAN PORTFOLIO In the loan portfolio of the Company, consumer loans represented 63% of the year-end loan portfolio, with $2.8 billion in various types of instalment loan balances and $1.3 billion in residential loan balances. Consumer lending activities are focused primarily on the Massachusetts market. Commercial and commercial real estate loans were 37% of the portfolio; the majority of these loans were to New England-based companies, primarily local middle-market companies and small businesses in Massachusetts. The Company originates fixed- and adjustable-rate residential mortgage loans. The majority of fixed-rate residential real estate loan originations are securitized and sold to the secondary market with servicing retained. The remainder of the fixed-rate and floating-rate residential real estate loan originations are held in the loan portfolio or may be securitized and transferred to the securities available for sale portfolio. Student loans are originated and held in the loan portfolio while they are in a deferred payment status and are periodically sold when they are no longer in a deferred payment status. An analysis of the changes in major loan categories for 1994 and 1993 is presented in TABLE E (page 22). Although net business volume was $1.0 billion in 1994, compared with $1.2 billion in 1993, the components of net loan business volume were more balanced in 1994 between corporate and consumer product lines. Corporate loans, which include time and demand loans and commercial real estate, contributed 26% of the total net business volume, and residential mortgages and instalment loans each contributed 37% to total net business volume. Residential real estate loan volume in 1994 was principally the result of purchase money mortgages, primarily adjustable rate, as mortgage refinance activity continued to decline. The Company underwrote and sold $270 million of fixed-rate residential real estate loans during 1994, compared with $816 million in 1993. At December 31, 1994, loans held for resale were $5 million, compared with $139 million at December 31, 1993. Instalment loan net business volume was $389 million in 1994, compared with $441 million in 1993. The decrease is due to a decline in automobile lending from an all-time record year in 1993; the volume in 1994 was the second highest in BayBanks' history. Higher student loan and home equity volumes offset the automobile lending decline. Net business volume in the commercial real estate portfolio was $55 million during 1994, compared with negative $60 million during 1993. A significant portion of 1994's growth was the result of growth in the Company's lending to real estate investment trusts. Commercial loan volume was $216 million, primarily related to auto dealer financing, construction and contracting, and loans to major retailers in the Company's market area. The Company also had an increase in its international portfolio, which is focused primarily on Mexico and South America. At December 31, 1994, these international facilities, which are trade related and primarily with well-known and established foreign banks, totaled $160 million, compared with $88 million at the end of 1993. These loans are subject to the Company's normal review process. 21 23 TABLE E CHANGES IN THE LOAN PORTFOLIO AT YEAR-END -- 1994 VS. 1993

SECURITIES PORTFOLIOS The securities portfolio (TABLE F, page 23) was $2.9 billion at December 31, 1994, $3.0 billion at December 31, 1993, and $2.8 billion at December 31, 1992. The weighted average maturity of the securities portfolio was 1.6 years at December 31, 1994, compared with .8 years at December 31, 1993, and 1.0 years at December 31, 1992. Short-term investments were $166 million at December 31, 1994, compared with $803 million at December 31, 1993, and $1.1 billion at December 31, 1992. The decline reflects the reinvestment of proceeds from maturing short-term investments into the securities available for sale and investment securities portfolios. Securities available for sale, consisting principally of debt securities, are stated at market value in 1994 and at the lower of aggregate cost or market for previous periods. Decisions to purchase or sell these securities as part of the Company's ongoing asset and liability management process are based on management's assessment of changes in economic and financial market conditions, interest rate environments, the Company's balance sheet and its interest sensitivity position, liquidity, and capital. During 1994, the proceeds from the sales and maturities of securities available for sale were reinvested in the investment portfolio and loan portfolio. At December 31, 1994, securities available for sale had gross unrealized gains of $484 thousand and gross unrealized losses of $14 thousand. The investment securities portfolio, consisting principally of debt securities, is stated at amortized cost. This basis for valuation reflects management's intention and ability to hold these securities until maturity. The Company's investment securities portfolio was $2.6 billion at December 31, 1994, $1.6 billion at December 31, 1993, and $156 million at December 31, 1992. At December 31, 1994, gross unrealized gains were $99 thousand, and gross unrealized losses were $75 million. The Company's investment securities portfolio contains U.S. Government securities, state and local government securities, asset-backed securities, mortgage-backed securities, and industrial revenue bonds. The total state and local government portfolio, which is primarily concentrated in Massachusetts, was $171 million 22 24 at December 31, 1994, with the single largest issue being approximately $5 million. All securities were either rated investment grade or, in the case of unrated securities, were determined by management to be equivalent to investment grade. Trading account securities, consisting of debt securities, are recorded at market value, which was $27 million at December 31, 1994. Trading account gains were $2.1 million in 1994 and $2.3 million in 1993. TABLE F SECURITIES PORTFOLIOS AT DECEMBER 31

DEPOSITS AND OTHER SOURCES OF FUNDS The Company's extensive product lines, important Customer Sales and Service Center, and banking network of 205 full-service offices and 366 automated banking facilities generate significant core deposits, which accounted for 99% of total average deposits during 1994 and 1993. Core deposits include transaction accounts (demand, NOW, and savings accounts), money market deposit accounts (MMDAs), and consumer time certificates. Average core deposits were $8.5 billion in 1994, compared with $8.6 billion in 1993. However, average transaction accounts increased to $4.9 billion in 1994, compared with $4.6 billion in 1993, reflecting certain customers' preferences to maintain significant balances in lower-yielding transaction accounts, thus having a positive impact on the Company's net interest margin. Money market deposit accounts and consumer certificates of deposit declined to $3.7 billion in 1994, compared with $4.0 billion in 1993. Average MMDAs declined to $2.7 billion in 1994 from $2.9 billion in 1993, and average consumer time deposits declined to $1.0 billion in 1994 from $1.1 billion in 1993. However, during the second half of 1994, customers began to move towards certificates of deposit as interest rates 23 25 continued to rise, and as of December 31, 1994, consumer time deposits were $1.1 billion, compared with $1.0 billion at December 31, 1993. Average corporate certificates of deposit in excess of $100 thousand (CDs), which represent a small portion of the Company's total funding, were $91 million in 1994, compared with $33 million in 1993. Average purchased funds were $839 million in 1994, compared with $151 million in 1993, as the average loans and securities portfolios increased, as discussed in the TRENDS IN EARNING ASSETS section on page 20. INTEREST RATE RISK MANAGEMENT AND LIQUIDITY BayBanks' Capital Markets Committee monitors and manages the Company's overall balance sheet interest sensitivity position, the securities portfolios, funding, and liquidity. Interest sensitivity, as measured by the Company's gap position, is affected by the level and direction of interest rates and current liquidity preferences of its customers. These factors, as well as projected balance sheet growth, current and potential pricing actions, competitive influences, national monetary and fiscal policy, and the national and regional economic environment, are considered in the asset and liability management decision process. The Company's interest sensitivity gap position, as shown in TABLE G, is first presented based on contractual maturities and repricing opportunities; however, in a period of rising or falling interest rates, this basis of presentation does not reflect lags that may occur in the repricing of certain loans and deposits. For example, in 1994 the costs of certain interest-bearing core deposit categories lagged changes in market interest rates, although the Company contractually can change the interest rates on these deposits at any time. A management adjustment provides for the expected repricing lags and for the notion that interest rate changes in many of these core deposit categories, particularly certain transaction accounts, are not as sensitive to changes in market interest rates. At December 31, 1994, the Company's adjusted gap for the total within-180-day period had moved from a positive $116 million at December 31, 1993, to a positive $76 million. The total within-one-year gap moved from a positive $132 million at December 31, 1993, to a positive $648 million at December 31, 1994. The increase in the positive adjusted gap position reflects the fact that experience in 1994 suggests certain core deposit categories are not repricing as quickly as general market rates. In addition to the gap analysis presented in the table, the Company also uses a simulation model that incorporates varying interest rate scenarios, including the effect of rapid changes (both increases and decreases up to 200 basis points) in interest rates on its net interest income and net interest margin. The Company's policy is to minimize volatility in its net interest income and net interest margin. TABLE G INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY POSITION AT DECEMBER 31, 1994

24 26 Liquidity, for commercial banking activities, is the ability to respond to maturing obligations, deposit withdrawals, and loan demand. The liquidity positions of the Company's bank subsidiaries are closely monitored by the Company's Capital Markets Committee. BayBanks' distribution network provides a stable base of in-market core deposits and limits the need to raise funds from the national market. The Company's net liquidity position (short-term investments, securities available for sale, and investment securities, less pledged securities, large CDs, and purchased funds) was $1.6 billion, or 16% of total deposits and borrowings, at December 31, 1994, compared with $2.2 billion, or 24% of total deposits and borrowings, at December 31, 1993. The decreased liquidity position, although still strong at December 31, 1994, resulted from the expansion of the loan portfolio. The Company also has additional liquidity flexibility due to the relatively short average maturity (1.6 years) of its securities portfolios (page 23). The statement of cash flows provides additional information on liquidity. The statement presents the results of the Company's operating, investing, and financing activities. Operating activities include $107.4 million in net income for 1994, before adjustment of noncash items. Investing activities consist primarily of both proceeds from sales and purchases of short-term investments and securities and net loan originations. Financing activities consist primarily of the net activity in the Company's various deposit accounts and short-term borrowings, as well as dividends paid. Cash and cash equivalents were $633 million at December 31, 1993. During 1994, net cash used in investing activities totaled $772 million, net cash provided by operating activities was $437 million, and net cash provided by financing activities was $531 million. Cash and cash equivalents were $829 million at December 31, 1994. The parent company's sources of liquidity are dividend and interest income received from its subsidiaries and income earned on its securities portfolios. The most significant uses of the parent company's resources are capital contributions to banking and other subsidiaries when appropriate and dividends paid to stockholders. During 1994 the parent company did not contribute any capital to its subsidiaries. Dividends received from bank subsidiaries were $25 million and dividends from nonbank subsidiaries were $10 million. During 1994, the parent company paid $30 million in dividends to its stockholders. At December 31, 1994, the parent company had $82 million in cash, short-term investments, and other securities. CREDIT QUALITY REVIEW OVERVIEW The Company continually monitors the credit quality of its loan portfolio. Employing a standard system for grading loans, individual account officers assign their loans a grade, or risk rating, and, if necessary, a specific loan loss reserve. An independent Loan Review Department periodically reviews loan grades and specific loan loss reserves. Any loan or portion of a loan determined to be uncollectible is charged off. On a quarterly basis, senior management reviews the loan portfolio, with particular emphasis on higher-risk loans, to assess the credit quality and loss potential inherent in the portfolio. Also considered in this review are delinquency trends and the adequacy of reserves. The size of the allowance for loan losses, the OREO reserve, and the related provisions reflect this analysis. Nonperforming assets (which exclude restructured, accruing loans and accruing loans 90 days or more past due) include nonperforming loans and OREO and were $122 million at December 31, 1994, a 45% decrease from $224 million at December 31, 1993, continuing the favorable trend that began in 1991. The decline in nonperforming assets is shown in TABLE H (page 26). This result was achieved by successful workout activities that included property sales, payments on nonperforming loans, and loans that qualified for, and were returned to, accrual status. Favorable resolutions were $140 million in 1994, or 63% of nonperforming assets at the beginning of the period. Additions to nonperforming assets were $74 million in 1994, a decrease of 30% compared with $106 million in 1993. As of December 31, 1994, the Company had OREO property sales pending of $6.8 million. 25 27 TABLE H CHANGES IN ASSET QUALITY

OTHER REAL ESTATE OWNED (OREO) OREO consists of foreclosed properties and in-substance foreclosures. Foreclosed properties are being prepared for sale or are currently listed for sale. The Company is involved in managing in-substance foreclosures, taking operating control to stabilize values while the properties are being prepared for sale, or working closely with borrowers to obtain new equity. OREO (net of reserve) declined 41% to $67 million at December 31, 1994, from $114 million at December 31, 1993, primarily as the result of property sales. 26 28 IMPAIRED LOANS On January 1, 1995, $33 million of assets with $9 million of reserves classified as in-substance foreclosures at December 31, 1994 (TABLE J), were reclassified to the loan portfolio and allowance for loan loss accounts, pursuant to the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan," (further discussed under Impending Accounting Changes, page 29). The Company's procedures for managing these assets, as described above, will remain the same. TABLE J CREDIT QUALITY -- PRO FORMA PRESENTATION

RESTRUCTURED, ACCRUING LOANS The Company restructures credits with borrowers experiencing a period of financial difficulty if such arrangements are likely to minimize losses the Company may otherwise incur on a particular credit. Loans that have been restructured remain on nonaccrual status until the customer has demonstrated a period of performance under the new contractual terms. Restructured, accruing loans were $14 million at December 31, 1994, compared with $18 million at December 31, 1993, and $12 million at December 31, 1992. ACCRUING LOANS 90 DAYS OR MORE PAST DUE Accruing loans 90 days or more past due, presented in TABLE K (page 28), declined 30% to $36 million at December 31, 1994, compared with $52 million at December 31, 1993. Of the $36 million in accruing loans 90 days or more past due at December 31, 1994, residential real estate and instalment loans together represented 86% of the total. Residential real estate and instalment loans by their nature include a large number of smaller loans. Of the $10 million in residential real estate loans, $9 million were in owner-occupied properties. 27 29 TABLE K ACCRUING LOANS 90 DAYS OR MORE PAST DUE AT DECEMBER 31

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES Since older problem assets are being resolved and the rate of emerging problem assets continued to decline, the allowance for loan losses was not replenished to the full extent of charge-offs. While the overall allowance for loan losses declined, its coverage of nonperforming loans increased to 269% at December 31, 1994, from 156% at December 31, 1993. The allowance for loan losses (TABLE L) consists of both allocated and unallocated portions. The allocated portion represents amounts within the total allowance assigned to specifically identified problem loans. The unallocated portion is the amount set aside to cover the risk of loss that is not specifically identified as to any individual loan, but that is inherent in any loan portfolio. The unallocated allowance is calculated by migrating each loan category by that category's recent loan loss experience. The process involves analysis of loan grade loss histories and trends for each type of loan. Economic factors and trends are also considered when determining the total unallocated portion of the allowance. Statistical modeling is the primary methodology for determining the amount of the allowance apportioned to the consumer portfolios (residential and instalment loans). However, the apportioned amount is considered unallocated in nature. TABLE L ALLOCATION OF THE ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES AT DECEMBER 31, 1994

CAPITAL AND DIVIDENDS BayBanks' consolidated risk-based capital ratios were 13.06% for total capital and 11.51% for core capital at December 31, 1994, compared with 12.40% and 10.68% at December 31, 1993. The leverage ratio was 7.35% at December 31, 1994, and 7.26% at December 31, 1993. These ratios exceed regulatory capital guidelines. On January 26, 1995, BayBanks declared a quarterly dividend of $.50 per share payable March 1, 1995. Total dividends declared for 1994 were $1.60, a 78% increase over the 1993 dividends declared of $.90. The 28 30 closing price of BayBanks' stock on December 31, 1994, was $52.75, compared with $50.75 at December 31, 1993, an increase of 3.9%. IMPENDING ACCOUNTING CHANGES In May 1993, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan," which was amended by SFAS No. 118, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan -- Income Recognition and Disclosures," issued in October 1994. The pro forma effects of adoption of SFAS No. 114 are presented in TABLE J (page 27). These statements are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1994, and will require changes in the disclosure of nonperforming assets. Loans currently reported as nonperforming and in-substance foreclosures will be reported as impaired loans in a financial statement footnote. Restructured loans, reported as restructured accruing loans prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 114, will not be regarded as impaired loans when the statement is adopted if they are performing under the restructured terms. Restructured, accruing loans entered into after the adoption of SFAS No. 114 will be accounted for as impaired loans until the year subsequent to restructure, provided that the loan bears a market rate of interest at the time of restructure and is performing under the restructured terms. The amount of impairment will be determined by the difference between the present value of the expected cash flows related to the loan, using the contractual interest rate and its recorded value, or, as a practical expedient in the case of collateralized loans, the difference between the appraised value of the collateral and the recorded amount of the loan. Any additional impairment will be recorded as an adjustment to the existing allowance for loan losses account. Effective January 1, 1995, the Company adopted these statements and reclassified $33 million of in-substance foreclosures and related reserves of $9 million to loans and the allowance for loan losses, respectively.

37 39 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) A significant source of funds used by BayBanks, Inc., the parent company, for the payment of dividends to shareholders is dividends received from its banking and other subsidiaries. The payment of dividends by national and state banks is generally limited by statute to their retained earnings, after deducting losses and statutorily defined bad debts in excess of established allowances for loan losses. The payment of dividends by national banks is further limited by statute to the current year's net income plus the undistributed net income of the two preceding years. The Company's bank subsidiaries are also required to achieve and maintain certain minimum capital ratios under applicable regulatory guidelines. Banking regulators have authority to prohibit banks and bank holding companies from paying dividends if they deem payment to be an unsafe or unsound practice. As of December 31, 1994, the Company's bank subsidiaries could have declared additional dividends of approximately $91 million while remaining in compliance with the foregoing statutory limitations and remaining "well capitalized" under regulatory capital guidelines. Any decision to declare a dividend by the Company or any of its subsidiaries also considers additional factors, including the amount of current period net income, liquidity, asset quality, and economic conditions and trends. Federal law imposes limitations on the extent to which the Company's bank subsidiaries may finance or otherwise supply funds to the Company and its nonbank subsidiaries. Such transactions with the Company and each of its nonbank subsidiaries are limited to 10% of each subsidiary bank's capital and surplus. There is also a 20% limit on each bank's aggregate covered transactions with the Company and all of its nonbank subsidiaries. At December 31, 1994, the Company had no borrowings outstanding from any of its subsidiaries, and one of the Company's nonbank subsidiaries had a secured loan of $37,549,000 outstanding from a bank subsidiary, representing 5.6% of the aggregate capital and surplus of the bank subsidiaries. The parent company has not sold commercial paper and does not have any revolving credit lines or other short-term debt outstanding that relies on credit ratings from public rating agencies. The Company has a Stockholders Rights Plan under which stock purchase rights have been distributed to the Company's stockholders. The rights may become exercisable in the event of certain unsolicited attempts to acquire the Company. The rights, which expire in December 1998, become exercisable 10 business days after a person, including a group, acquires 20% or more of the Company's outstanding common stock or commences a tender offer that would result in such person owning 25% or more of such stock or the Board of Directors determines that a person owning 10% or more of such stock is an "adverse person." If any person becomes the owner of 25% or more of the outstanding common stock or the Board determines that a person is an adverse person, the rights of holders other than such owner or adverse person become rights to buy shares of common stock of the Company (or of the acquiring company if the Company is acquired in certain mergers or other business combinations) having a market value of twice the exercise price of each right, with the result that such owner's or adverse person's interest in the Company would be substantially diluted. The Company may redeem the right, at a price of $.01 per right, until 10 business days after a person acquires 20% or more of the outstanding common stock or the Board has determined that a person is an adverse person. NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES BASIS OF PRESENTATION -- The consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries follow generally accepted accounting principles and reporting practices applicable to the banking industry. Material intercompany transactions have been eliminated. Certain prior years' amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation. INTEREST-BEARING DEPOSITS AND OTHER SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS -- Consists of federal funds sold and securities purchased under resale agreements of $89,216,000 and $541,260,000 in 1994 and 1993, respectively, and money market mutual funds and other short-term deposits. 38 40 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) TRADING ACCOUNT SECURITIES -- Consists primarily of municipal securities held for resale to customers. These securities are recorded at market value; realized and unrealized gains and losses on trading securities are recorded in the current period in noninterest income. SECURITIES -- Effective January 1, 1994, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities." SFAS No. 115 requires that changes in the market value of the securities available for sale portfolio be recorded directly to a separate category of stockholders' equity, net of deferred income taxes. Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 115, securities available for sale were valued at the lower of aggregate cost or market value, and changes therein were recorded directly to earnings, net of income taxes. At adoption, the market value of the securities available for sale portfolio exceeded its amortized cost by $4,443,000, or $2,500,000 on an after-tax basis. At December 31, 1994, the market value of the securities available for sale portfolio exceeded its amortized cost by $470,000, or $276,000 on an after-tax basis, reflected in stockholders' equity. Decisions to purchase or sell these securities as part of the Company's ongoing asset and liability management process are based on management's assessment of changes in economic and financial market conditions, interest rate environments, the Company's balance sheet and its interest sensitivity position, liquidity, and capital. The cost of securities sold is determined by the specific identification method. The investment securities portfolio, principally debt securities, is stated at cost, adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discount using a level yield method. This basis for valuation reflects management's intention and ability to hold these securities until maturity. INTEREST RATE SWAP AGREEMENTS -- The Company occasionally uses interest rate swap agreements to manage its interest rate exposure. The net differential paid or received on the swaps is accounted for as an adjustment to the yield on the item hedged. LOANS -- Interest income on most loans is accrued on the principal amount of loans outstanding. Unearned income on leases and loans, $24,717,000 at year-end 1994 and $24,086,000 at year-end 1993, is credited to interest income on a basis that results in approximately level rates of return over the term of the lease or loan. Certain loan fees and credit card fees, net of certain qualifying origination costs, are deferred and amortized over the life of the related loan or commitment period. Deferred loan and credit card fees, included in unearned income, were $9,861,000 and $11,353,000 at year-end 1994 and 1993, respectively. The Company engages in certain mortgage banking activities through a mortgage subsidiary. Mortgage loans originated and held for sale are carried at the lower of aggregate cost or market value. Gains and losses on loans sold are determined using the specific identification method. Gains and losses on loans sold with servicing rights retained are adjusted to reflect the difference between the present value of future service fee income and a normal service fee. The resulting excess mortgage servicing rights are amortized using the level yield method as a reduction of service fee income over the remaining lives of the loans. Actual prepayment experience is reviewed periodically, and the excess mortgage servicing rights are adjusted accordingly to reflect current circumstances. At December 31, 1994 and 1993, mortgage loans held for sale were $4,571,000 and $138,764,000, respectively; excess mortgage servicing rights were $3,610,000 and $4,213,000, respectively. Loans serviced for others were $1.9 billion, $2.0 billion, and $1.8 billion at December 31, 1994, 1993, and 1992, respectively. Loans are placed on nonaccrual and are considered nonperforming when payment of principal or interest is considered to be in doubt. In addition, all loans past due 90 days or more as to principal or interest are placed on nonaccrual status except for certain consumer loans and those loans which, in management's judgment, are adequately secured and for which collection is probable. Previously accrued income that has not been collected is reversed from current income, and subsequent cash receipts are applied to reduce the unpaid principal balance. Loans are returned to accrual status when collection of all contractual principal and interest is reasonably assured and there has been sustained repayment performance. Nonperforming loans were $54,627,000 at year-end 1994 and $110,001,000 at year-end 1993. Interest income earned during the year on year-end nonperforming loans was approximately $568,000; if these loans had been performing under 39 41 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) contractual terms, interest would have been approximately $4,485,000. In 1993, these amounts were $960,000 and $8,300,000, respectively. Loans are classified as restructured, accruing loans, after a period of performance, when the Company has granted, for economic or legal reasons related to the borrower's financial difficulties, a concession to the customer that the Company would not otherwise consider. Such concessions can be any one or a combination of the following modifications to the terms of the debt: the reduction of the stated interest rate for the remaining original life of the debt; extension of the maturity date at a stated interest rate lower than the current market rate for new debt with similar risk; reduction of the face amount or maturity amount of the debt as stated in the debt instrument; and reduction of accrued interest. In accordance with guidance issued by banking regulators, restructured, accruing loans that are performing in accordance with the restructured terms and bear a market rate of interest at the time of restructure are removed from the disclosure in years subsequent to the restructure. Restructured, accruing loans were $13,537,000 and $18,398,000 at December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively. During 1994 and 1993, interest income recorded on these loans approximated a market interest rate and in the aggregate was not significantly different had these loans performed according to their original terms. There are no commitments to lend additional funds to these borrowers. ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES -- Loans considered to be uncollectible are charged to the allowance for loan losses. Additions to the allowance are provided by recoveries of previously charged-off loans and by the provision for loan losses in amounts sufficient to maintain the adequacy of the allowance. The adequacy is determined by management's evaluation of potential losses in the portfolio, economic conditions, historical net charge-offs, and anticipated portfolio growth. Included in the allowance are amounts allocated to specific loans, amounts allocated to other loans that may become uncollectible but cannot be individually identified, and unallocated amounts. Management believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate. Various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the allowance for loan losses of the Company's subsidiaries. Such agencies can require the Company to recognize additions to the allowance based on regulatory judgments of information available at the time of their examination. On January 1, 1995, the Company adopted SFAS No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan," and SFAS No. 118, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan -- Income Recognition and Disclosures." These statements specify certain methods for calculating the allowance related to impaired loans. A loan is impaired when it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. The adoption of these statements, which will be accounted for prospectively, is not expected to change the overall amount of the allowance for loan losses and the other real estate owned reserve and is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's reported results of operations or financial condition. OTHER REAL ESTATE OWNED -- Other real estate owned (OREO) consists of foreclosed properties and in-substance foreclosures. Loans are classified as in-substance foreclosures under the following circumstances: when the debtor has little or no equity in the collateral, considering the current fair value of the collateral; and when proceeds for repayment of the loan can be expected to come only from the operation or sale of the collateral; and when the debtor has either formally or effectively abandoned control of the collateral to the creditor or retained control of the collateral, but, because of the current financial condition of the debtor, or the economic prospects for the debtor and/or the collateral in the foreseeable future, it is doubtful that the debtor will be able to rebuild equity in the collateral or otherwise repay the loan in the foreseeable future. The adoption of SFAS No. 114 impacts the accounting for in-substance foreclosures beginning January 1, 1995. SFAS No. 114 has narrowed the definition of in-substance foreclosures to assets for which the Company has received physical possession of the collateral. Upon adoption of this statement on January 1, 1995, the Company reclassified $33,173,000 of in-substance foreclosures and $8,669,000 of related reserves to loans and the allowance for loan losses, respectively. 40 42 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) OREO is recorded at the lower of the book value of the loan or the fair value of the asset acquired, less estimated disposition costs. The excess, if any, of the loan amount over the fair value of the asset acquired is charged off against the allowance for loan losses. Pursuant to the adoption of accounting Statement of Position (SOP) 92-3, "Accounting for Foreclosed Assets," which became effective for periods ending after December 15, 1992, subsequent changes in the value of OREO (including in-substance foreclosures) are recorded directly to an OREO reserve. These changes in the OREO reserve are included in total operating expenses. Proceeds in excess of the carrying value at the time of sale are recorded as a reduction in the provision for the OREO reserve. Prior to the adoption of SOP 92-3, changes in the value of OREO were recorded directly to the value of the property. Expenses to administer these properties are charged to operating expense as incurred. INCOME TAXES -- Effective January 1, 1993, the Company adopted SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." SFAS No. 109 changed the Company's method of accounting for income taxes from the deferred method to the asset and liability method. The objective of the asset and liability method is to establish deferred tax assets and liabilities for the temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of the Company's assets and liabilities at enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when such amounts are realized or settled. A valuation allowance, if necessary, is established to provide for deferred tax assets that are not expected to be realized. Adoption of SFAS No. 109 did not have a material effect on the Company's results of operations or financial condition. Prior to adoption of SFAS No. 109, the Company accounted for income taxes under Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 11. Under APB Opinion No. 11, deferred taxes were provided for all significant items of income and expense that were recognized in different periods for financial reporting and income tax purposes. EARNINGS PER SHARE -- Earnings per common share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and dilutive common stock equivalents (stock options) for each period presented. Average dilutive common stock equivalents were 303,286 for 1994 and 282,175 for 1993. The dual presentation of primary and fully diluted earnings per common share is not presented, since the difference in earnings per share is less than 3%. NOTE 3. FEDERAL RESERVE ACCOUNT BALANCES The Company's banks are required to maintain average reserve balances with the Federal Reserve Bank. These balances can be in the form of either vault cash or funds left on deposit with the Federal Reserve Bank. The average amount of these balances was $309,821,000 for 1994 and $305,379,000 for 1993. 41 43 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) NOTE 4.

The year-end maturity distribution excludes industrial revenue bonds, which are not regarded as principal debt securities, mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities, and other securities that do not have a stated maturity. The book value of securities pledged to secure public and trust deposits and to meet other legal requirements was $1,137,115 at December 31, 1994. During 1994, proceeds from sales of securities available for sale were $313,796,000, resulting in gross realized gains of $518,000. There was $3,000 in gross realized losses from the sales of these securities. Proceeds from sales of investment securities within 90 days of maturity, regarded as maturities in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, were $313,459,000, resulting in gross realized losses of $312,000. During 1993, proceeds from sales of securities available for sale were $449,217,000, resulting in gross realized gains of $439,000. There was $28,000 in gross realized losses from the sales of these securities. During 1992, proceeds from sales of securities available for sale were $1,192,000,000, and proceeds from sales of investment securities were $1,262,000,000, resulting in gross realized gains of $41,123,000 and $37,506,000, respectively. There was $1,700,000 in gross realized losses from the sales of investment securities. During 1994, BayBank, the Company's principal bank subsidiary, became a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston (FHLB). As a member of the FHLB, BayBank is required to invest in the stock of the FHLB in an amount equal to the greater of 1% of residential mortgage loans or 3/10 of 1% of total assets. As of December 31, 1994, $27,556,000 in the stock of the FHLB is included in the securities available for sale portfolio in the other category at cost, which approximates market value. On January 1, 1994, the Company adopted SFAS No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," as more fully discussed in Note 2. 43 45 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) NOTE 5. LOANS TO RELATED PARTIES Loans outstanding to related parties of the Company and its principal subsidiaries consist primarily of loans made to executive officers and business interests related to certain directors; these loans totaled $18,899,000 and $32,045,000 at December 31, 1994, and December 31, 1993, respectively.

44 46 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) NOTE 7. PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT Premises and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation on buildings is computed primarily on a straight-line basis with estimated lives ranging from 25 to 50 years. Furniture and equipment useful lives generally range from 3 to 10 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over their useful lives or lease terms, whichever is shorter. Premises and equipment were comprised of the following:

Total rental expense was $24,967,000 in 1994, $26,346,000 in 1993, and $27,367,000 in 1992, net of $1,473,000, $1,705,000, and $2,232,000 in rental income from subleases, respectively. Contingent rentals were negligible. As of December 31, 1994, the Company and its subsidiaries were obligated, under noncancelable operating leases (primarily for premises), for minimum rentals in future periods as follows:

NOTE 9. LONG-TERM DEBT In September 1985, the Company issued $50,000,000 in floating-rate notes. The notes will mature on September 30, 1997, and pay interest at a rate, adjusted quarterly, of 1/8 of 1% above the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) for three-month Eurodollar deposits. During 1994 the weighted average rate paid was 4.44%, and at December 31, 1994, the rate was 6.44%. The proceeds were used in the funding of the affiliate banks on identical terms. The notes may be redeemed by the Company in whole or in part at any time at 100% of the principal amount plus accrued interest. The balance of long-term debt at December 31, 1994, includes mortgage debt at two subsidiaries totaling $823,000. The monthly payment amounts of the mortgages totaled $7,000 in 1994 with final maturities from 1997 to 2013. Obligations on capitalized leases totaled $331,000 at December 31, 1994. NOTE 10. EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTION PLANS The Company offers shares of common stock to key employees under stock option plans. Options are awarded by a committee of the Board of Directors. The following is a summary of the changes in options outstanding for the last three years:
1994 1993 1992 -------- -------- -------- Options outstanding at the beginning of the year........... 830,434 916,348 817,684 Options granted............................................ -- 97,500 182,000 Options exercised..........................................

Prices of shares under option at December 31, 1994, ranged from $13.75 to $45.00, and options for 362,584 shares were exercisable. Unless exercised, the options will expire at varying dates through 2003. There was no compensation expense recorded in the years presented related to stock options. 46 48 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) In addition to the above, the Company has a restricted stock plan that was adopted in 1994. A total of 500,000 shares may be awarded under the plan, which expires in 2004. As of December 31, 1994, 112,000 shares had been awarded. The Company also had a restricted stock plan that expired in 1992. Under this plan, 400,000 shares were awarded. Certificates for shares awarded are issued in the name of the employee, who has all the rights of a shareholder, with the shares subject to certain restrictions. At December 31, 1994, such restrictions remained on 237,543 shares outstanding from these plans. The certificates are held by the Company until the restrictions lapse or the shares are forfeited. Restriction periods vary from 1 to 10 years from the date of grant. During 1994, restrictions on 50,652 shares lapsed, and 5,200 shares were forfeited. The fair market value of awarded shares was previously recorded as deferred compensation as a segregation of surplus that is amortized to benefits expense over the restriction period. The unamortized amounts were $6,150,000 at December 31, 1994, $1,451,000 at December 31, 1993, and $2,952,000 at December 31, 1992. Compensation expense related to restricted stock grants, net of forfeitures, was $1,553,000 in 1994, $1,099,000 in 1993, and $2,243,000 in 1992. NOTE 11. BENEFITS The Company and its subsidiaries provide a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan that covers substantially all employees. Benefits are based upon length of service and qualifying compensation during the final years of employment. Contributions are made to the plan as costs are accrued. Assets held by the plan consist primarily of government securities and common stock. The table below sets forth the plan's funded status and amounts recognized at December 31:
1994 1993 1992 -------- -------- -------- (IN THOUSANDS) Actuarial present value of benefit obligations: Vested benefit obligations............................... $ 67,099 $ 69,418 $ 54,765 ======== ======== ======== Accumulated benefit obligations.......................... $ 68,259 $ 71,160 $ 56,479 ======== ======== ======== Projected benefit obligations............................ $ 85,586 $ 91,816 $ 78,667 Plan assets (primarily marketable securities) at market value.................................................... 120,358 120,041 111,021 -------- -------- -------- Net assets in excess of projected benefit obligations...... 34,772 28,225 32,354 Unrecognized experience gain...............................

(7,991) 987 5,673 ------- -------- -------- Net pension expense......................................... $ 213 $ 261 $ 86 ======= ======== ========
In addition to the above, the Company maintains a nonqualified, supplemental retirement plan for certain officers. The benefits provided under this plan are unfunded, and any payments to plan participants are made by the Company. As of December 31, 1994 and 1993, $4,269,000 and $1,962,000, respectively, were included in accrued expense and other liabilities for this plan. The expense associated with this plan as of December 31 was as follows:
1994 1993 1992 ------ ---- ---- (IN THOUSANDS) Service costs earned during period.......................... $ 346 $ 79 $ 67 Interest cost on projected benefit obligation............... 400 240 206 Actual return on plan assets................................ -- -- -- Net amortization and deferral............................... 330 162 146 ------ ---- ---- Supplemental retirement expense............................. $1,076 $481 $419 ====== ==== ====
Assumptions used in determining the net pension expense and supplemental retirement expense were as follows:
1994 1993 1992 ---- ---- ---- Rate of return on plan assets.................................. 9.00% 9.00% 9.50% Discount rate.................................................. 7.25 8.00 9.00 Rate of increase in future compensation levels................. 4.70 5.20 6.20
The Company has a savings and profit sharing plan that is interrelated with an employee stock ownership plan (ESOP). Employees are eligible to participate in these plans if they meet certain service requirements. Benefits are based on the Company's financial performance. A portion of these benefits is payable under the ESOP in shares of the Company's common stock. In 1990, the ESOP borrowed $18,600,000 from a third party to purchase 800,000 shares of the Company's common stock. This loan, unconditionally guaranteed by the Company, bears interest at a rate equal to Reserve Adjusted LIBOR plus .35% and is payable in eight annual instalments ending January 31, 1997. At December 31, 1994, the balance of the ESOP loan was $9,451,000 at an interest rate of 6.54%, and unallocated ESOP shares were 406,495. During 1994, ESOP expense included an accrual of $2,450,000 to cover the loan payment due on January 31, 1995, and interest expense, net of dividends, on the ESOP loan of $473,000. The dividends used to service the ESOP debt, which were paid on shares held by the ESOP, were $1,188,000 in 1994 and $697,000 in 1993; there were no dividends in 1992. The Company accrued additional contributions to the savings and profit sharing plan of $2,100,000 in 1994; the Company accrued no such additional contributions in 1993 or 1992. The Company has a plan providing severance benefits for certain employees of the Company and its subsidiaries with respect to certain terminations of employment within two years after a change in control of the Company. Approximately 3,800 employees are potentially eligible for benefits under the plan. Existing 48 50 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) compensation and benefit plans have been amended to protect previously earned compensation and future benefits in the event of a change in control of the Company. The Company adopted SFAS No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions" as of January 1, 1993. SFAS No. 106 requires a calculation of the present value of expected benefits to be paid to employees after their retirement and an allocation of those benefits to the periods in which employees render service to earn the benefits. For employees retiring prior to December 31, 1993, the Company provided $5,000 of life insurance and a Medicare premium supplement and permitted those under 65 to participate in the Company's medical plan by paying the full group rate; full-time employees pay approximately 25% of the group rate. Those retiring after December 31, 1993, will not receive the Medicare supplement and will pay premiums for life and medical insurance reflecting the Company's full cost of coverage for retirees. The initial transition obligation associated with the adoption of SFAS No. 106 was $3,600,000. In accordance with the statement, the Company will recognize this liability over the remaining service periods of plan participants. Since eligibility for these Company-subsidized benefits ceased at December 31, 1993, this period ranges from approximately three years for the medical insurance to thirteen years for the life insurance and Medicare supplements. The table below sets forth the status of the Company's accumulated postretirement benefit obligation, which was unfunded as of December 31: Accumulated Postretirement Benefit Obligation:
1994 1993 ------- ------- (IN THOUSANDS) Accumulated postretirement benefit obligation............................ $(3,086) $(3,597) Unrecognized net (gain) loss............................................. (273) 186 Unrecognized prior service cost.......................................... -- -- Unrecognized net transition obligation................................... 2,801 3,152 ------- ------- Net postretirement benefit liability..................................... $ (558) $ (259) ======= =======
Postretirement benefit expense was $613,000 in 1994 and $619,000 in 1993. Increasing the health care cost trend by 1% in each year would not materially affect the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation as of December 31, 1994, or the aggregate of the service and interest components of the net periodic postretirement benefit cost for the twelve months ended December 31, 1994. The present value of the accumulated benefit obligation assumed a 8.50% discount rate compounded annually. Effective January 1, 1994, the Company adopted SFAS No. 112, "Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits." SFAS No. 112 covers all postemployment benefits not already covered by the two prior accounting pronouncements. Adoption of SFAS No. 112 resulted in additional postemployment benefits of $1,615,000, which were recorded in the first quarter of 1994 at $932,000 on an after-tax basis. The annual cost of postemployment benefits to former employees for 1994 was $1,851,000. 49 51 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) NOTE 12.

It is expected that the existing net deductible temporary differences, which give rise to the net deferred tax asset, will be realized. NOTE 15. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH CREDIT RISK AND OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK AND DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK -- The Company is a commercial banking organization, providing diversified financial services to individuals, businesses, governmental units, and other banks. The Company provides a comprehensive range of credit, non-credit, and international banking products and services to the New England region, with particular emphasis in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and accordingly is affected by general economic conditions in the region. OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK -- In the normal course of business, the Company occasionally uses various off-balance sheet commitments and financial instruments for interest rate risk management purposes and to accommodate certain financing requirements of customers. These commitments and financial instruments may include loan commitments, interest rate swaps and options, standby letters of credit, loans sold with recourse, letters of credit, forward contracts, interest rate caps, and interest rate floors. These instruments involve varying degrees of credit and market risk in excess of the amounts included in the consolidated balance sheet. The contract or notional amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of the Company's involvement in each particular class of financial instrument. The Company's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the counterparty to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit, and financial guarantees under recourse arrangements is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in extending commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. For interest rate swaps, caps, and floors, the contract or notional amounts do not represent an exposure to credit loss. The Company controls the credit risk of its interest rate swap agreements through credit approvals, limits, and monitoring procedures in conjunction with its interest rate risk management activities. Unless otherwise noted, the Company does not require collateral or other security to support financial instruments with credit risk. 52 54 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS -- The Company has only limited involvement with derivative financial instruments for interest rate risk management and trading purposes. Off-balance sheet and derivative financial instruments at December 31, 1994 and 1993, were as follows:
CONTRACT OR NOTIONAL AMOUNT ------------------------- 1994 1993 ---------- ---------- (IN THOUSANDS) Loan commitments.................................................... $3,065,000 $2,763,000 Standby letters of credit........................................... 146,000 164,000 Foreign exchange contracts.......................................... 99,000 44,000 Loans sold with recourse............................................ 38,000 46,000 Forward commitments................................................. 23,000 134,000 Securities purchase and sell commitments............................ 15,000 29,000 Interest rate swaps and options..................................... 14,000 8,000 Letters of credit................................................... 14,000 15,000 Municipal note purchase agreements.................................. 2,000 4,000
LOAN COMMITMENTS, LETTERS OF CREDIT, AND STANDBY LETTERS OF CREDIT -- Loan commitments and letters of credit are granted under the same credit policies used for on-balance sheet outstandings. Commitments are subject to various terms and conditions that have to be met before being drawn upon and have a fixed expiration date. The nature of many commitments is such that they are expected to expire without being drawn upon, thus not requiring future funding by the Company. The fair value of loan commitments was $3,500,000 and $2,100,000 at December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively. Letters of credit are documents, principally related to export and import trade transactions, issued by the Company on behalf of its customers in favor of third parties, who can present demands on the Company within specified terms and conditions. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The fair value of letters of credit was $177,000 and $175,000 at December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively. FOREIGN EXCHANGE CONTRACTS -- The Company enters into offsetting agreements to purchase foreign currency and, in turn, to sell it to customers. Credit risk exists because in the event that a customer fails to take delivery of the foreign currency, the Company is required to resell it to the market. The fair value of foreign exchange contracts was $780,000 and $552,000 at December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively. LOANS SOLD WITH RECOURSE -- The Company sells residential mortgage loans to the secondary market in connection with its mortgage banking business. While the majority of these loans are sold on a nonrecourse basis, there is a nominal dollar amount of recourse loans. All residential mortgage loans are subject to the same credit policies, and off-balance sheet loans with recourse have the same credit risk as on-balance sheet loans. If a borrower defaults on a loan sold with recourse, it is sold back to the Company to initiate normal collection efforts. FORWARD COMMITMENTS -- The Company enters into forward contract commitments to reduce the market risk associated with originating residential mortgage loans for sale. Contractual terms of forward commitments specify the aggregate amount of the contract, the interest rate or prices at which loans are to be delivered, and the period covered. The market risk to the Company is the potential inability to originate loans at prices specified in the contract within the commitment period, thus resulting in a potential difference between loan origination requirements under contract terms and those loans acquired at market prices to fulfill the commitment. The Company also enters into a limited number of forward rate options with commercial customers, which in turn are hedged in their entirety. SECURITIES PURCHASE AND SELL COMMITMENTS -- In connection with its capital markets activities, the Company regularly commits to purchase and sell securities. 53 55 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) INTEREST RATE SWAPS AND OPTIONS -- The Company uses interest rate swap contracts and options in conjunction with asset and liability management activities and to adjust interest rate risk associated with specific customer transactions. These agreements allow the Company to exchange fixed or variable interest rate payment amounts on existing assets or liabilities without changing the terms or amount of the underlying principal. Interest rate swaps are stated in notional terms, which represent the aggregate amount of the specific asset or liability being hedged by the interest rate swap transaction. However, the actual exposure to credit risk is the stream of interest payments under the contractual terms of the swap, not the notional amount. The Company manages the credit risk by entering into interest rate swap agreements only with highly regarded counterparties after a credit review process. MUNICIPAL NOTE PURCHASE AGREEMENTS -- In connection with its capital markets activities, the Company has committed to purchase certain municipal securities from investors in the event that the issuing municipality fails to pay principal or interest when due. NOTE 16. DISCLOSURES ABOUT THE FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Under the provisions of SFAS No. 107, "Disclosures about the Fair Value of Financial Instruments," the Company is required to estimate and disclose the fair value of certain of its on- and off-balance sheet financial instruments. SFAS No. 107 defines what constitutes a financial instrument and recommends general methodologies to determine fair value. The fair value of a financial instrument as defined in SFAS No. 107 is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. Quoted market prices are used to establish fair value when they are available for a particular financial instrument, and present value and other valuation techniques are utilized to estimate the fair value of financial instruments that do not have quoted market prices. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument for which disclosure is required by SFAS No. 107. CASH AND DUE FROM BANKS AND INTEREST-BEARING DEPOSITS AND OTHER SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS -- The current fair value of these financial instruments is defined as the amount recorded in the balance sheet categories. SECURITIES PORTFOLIOS -- Securities available for sale, investment securities, and trading account securities are financial instruments that are usually traded in broad markets. Fair values are based upon market prices and dealer quotes. If a quoted market price is not available for a particular security, the fair value is determined by reference to quoted market prices for securities with similar characteristics. LOANS -- For certain homogeneous categories of instalment loans, including student loans and credit card receivables, fair value has been estimated using quoted market prices for similar loans. The fair value of other instalment loans, including automobile financing, was determined by discounted cash flow techniques using interest rates for similar loans at December 31, 1994 and 1993. Credit risk factors were incorporated in the discount rates used for these loans and are reflected in the market prices obtained for homogeneous loans. The fair value of residential mortgage loans, including ARMs and fixed-rate loans, was determined using discounted cash flow techniques with year-end interest rates, and by comparison with quoted market prices for mortgage-backed securities with similar interest rates and terms. The analysis also reflected estimated prepayment factors. The fair value of both fixed- and variable-rate commercial and commercial real estate loans was determined by discounted cash flow techniques. Year-end 1994 and 1993 interest rates were used that incorporated the risk of credit loss associated with each type of loan, based on an evaluation performed as of December 31, 1994 and 1993. OTHER ASSETS -- Financial instruments classified as other assets that are subject to the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 107 consist principally of interest receivable, excess mortgage servicing rights, and required 54 56 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) investments in low-income housing limited partnerships. The carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximate their fair value. DEPOSITS -- The fair value of demand deposits, NOW and savings accounts, and money market deposits is defined by SFAS No. 107 as the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. Therefore, for these financial instruments, the amounts recorded in the balance sheet are also reported as their fair value under the provisions of the statement, and no core deposit value was derived for fair value disclosure purposes. The fair value of certificates of deposit with fixed interest rates was estimated by the use of present value techniques. These techniques consider the cash flow related to these certificates, year-end interest rates at which similar certificates were issued with similar remaining maturities, and the probability of early withdrawal if interest rates were to rise. SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS -- The carrying amounts of federal funds purchased and other short-term borrowings are defined to approximate their fair values. LONG-TERM DEBT -- The fair value of long-term debt was established by market prices of the debt and present value techniques that consider the debt's remaining maturity and yield and the current credit ratings of the Company. ACCRUED EXPENSES AND OTHER ACCOUNTS PAYABLE -- Financial instruments included in accrued expenses and other accounts payable that are subject to the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 107 consist principally of interest payable. The carrying value of interest payable approximates its fair value. OFF-BALANCE SHEET FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS -- The estimated fair values of loan commitments, standby letters of credit, and foreign exchange contracts are disclosed in Note 15. The fair values of all other off-balance sheet financial instruments were not considered to be material. These financial instruments generally are not sold or traded, and there is no standard methodology for determining their fair values. The Company's loan commitments are not beyond normal market terms and do not include fees or conditions other than those associated with customary market practices. The fair value of loan commitments was calculated by determining the discounted present value of the remaining contractual fees over the unexpired commitment period, generally not more than one year. The fair value of securities purchase and sell commitments was determined by reference to the price of the underlying securities. The fair value of standby letters of credit was determined by reference to the current fees charged to issue similar letters of credit. The fair value of forward commitments, foreign exchange contracts, and interest rate swaps was determined by reference to the market for similar instruments. The fair values of the financial instruments presented, and as determined under the guidelines established by SFAS No. 107 as previously described, depend highly on assumptions as they existed as of December 31, 1994 and 1993, and on the related methodologies applied and do not purport to represent actual economic value in a bona fide transaction with a legitimate buyer under normal market conditions. It should also be noted that different financial institutions will use different assumptions and methodologies in determining fair values such that comparisons between institutions may be difficult. The Company did not attempt to determine the fair value of its substantial base of core deposits, as their disclosure is not required and due to the lack of generally accepted, industry-wide methodology for determining such values. With that understand- 55 57 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) ing, the financial statement amounts and estimated fair values of financial instruments at December 31, 1994 and 1993, were as follows:
