ITEM 1. BUSINESS

Description of Business

Mellon Bank Corporation (the "Corporation") is a multibank holding company
incorporated under the laws of Pennsylvania in August 1971 and registered under
the Federal Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended. The Corporation
provides a comprehensive range of financial products and services in domestic
and selected international markets. The Corporation's banking subsidiaries are
located in Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Delaware, Maryland, and New Jersey.
Other subsidiaries are located in key business centers throughout the United
States and abroad. At December 31, 1994, the Corporation was the twenty-fourth
largest bank holding company in the United States in terms of assets.

The Corporation's principal direct subsidiaries are Mellon Bank, N.A. ("Mellon
Bank"), The Boston Company, Inc. ("TBC"), Mellon Bank (DE) National
Association, Mellon Bank (MD), Mellon PSFS Bancorporation and a number of
companies known as Mellon Financial Services Corporations. The Corporation
also owns a federal savings bank located in New Jersey, Mellon Bank, F.S.B.
The Dreyfus Corporation ("Dreyfus"), one of the nation's largest mutual fund
companies, is a wholly owned subsidiary of Mellon Bank. The Corporation's
banking subsidiaries engage in retail banking, commercial banking, trust and
investment management services, residential real estate loan financing,
mortgage servicing, mutual fund and various securities-related activities.

Mellon Bank, which has its executive offices in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania,
became a subsidiary of the Corporation in November 1972. With its
predecessors, Mellon Bank has been in business since 1869. Mellon Bank is
comprised of six operating regions:

Mellon Bank-Western Region, which includes Mellon Bank's
Pittsburgh-based executive offices, serves consumer and small to
mid-sized commercial markets in western Pennsylvania, as well as
large commercial and financial institution markets throughout the
United States and selected international markets.

Mellon Bank-Central Region, headquartered in State College,
Pennsylvania, serves consumer and small to mid-sized commercial
markets in central Pennsylvania.

Mellon Bank-Commonwealth Region, headquartered in Harrisburg,
Pennsylvania, serves consumer and small to mid-sized commercial
markets in south central Pennsylvania.

Mellon Bank-Northern Region, headquartered in Erie, Pennsylvania,
serves consumer and small to mid-sized commercial markets in
northwestern Pennsylvania.

Mellon Bank-Northeastern Region, headquartered in Wilkes-Barre,
Pennsylvania, serves consumer and small to mid-sized commercial
markets in northeastern Pennsylvania.

Mellon PSFS, headquartered in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, serves
consumer and small commercial markets in eastern Pennsylvania and
mid-sized commercial customers in eastern Pennsylvania and portions
of New Jersey.

On August 24, 1994, Mellon Bank acquired Dreyfus as an operating subsidiary.
Dreyfus, headquartered in New York, New York, serves primarily as an investment
adviser and manager of mutual funds.

TBC, through Boston Safe Deposit and Trust Company and other subsidiaries,
engages in the business of institutional trust and custody, institutional asset
management, private investment management and banking services. TBC is
headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts.

Description of Business (continued)

Mellon Bank (DE) National Association, headquartered in Wilmington, Delaware,
serves consumer and small to mid-sized commercial markets throughout Delaware,
and provides nationwide cardholder processing services. Mellon Bank (MD) is
headquartered in Rockville, Maryland, and serves consumer and small to
mid-sized commercial markets throughout Maryland. Mellon Bank (MD) has a
Maryland state charter and is a member of the Federal Reserve System. Mellon
Bank, F.S.B., headquartered in Paramus, New Jersey, serves consumer and small
to mid-sized commercial markets.

On September 20, 1994, the Corporation acquired Glendale Bancorporation, a bank
holding company located in Voorhees, New Jersey. Its subsidiaries, Glendale
National Bank of New Jersey ("Glendale NJ") and Glendale Bank of Pennsylvania
("Glendale PA"), are now subsidiaries of Mellon PSFS Bancorporation. Glendale
NJ, which is a national bank, and Glendale PA, which is a
Pennsylvania-chartered bank, serve consumer and small commercial markets in
southern New Jersey and eastern Pennsylvania.

The Corporation's banking subsidiaries operate 1,060 domestic retail banking
locations, including 449 retail offices. The deposits of the national banking
subsidiaries, Boston Safe Deposit and Trust, Mellon Bank (MD), Glendale PA and
Mellon Bank, F.S.B. are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
("FDIC") to the extent provided by law.

Other subsidiaries of the Corporation provide a broad range of bank-related
services -- including commercial financial services, equipment leasing,
residential real estate loan financing, commercial loan financing, stock
transfer services, cash management, mortgage servicing and numerous trust and
investment management services. The types of financial products and services
offered by the Corporation's subsidiaries are subject to change.

For analytical purposes, management has focused the Corporation into four core
business sectors: Consumer Investment Services, Consumer Banking Services,
Corporate/Institutional Investment Services and Corporate/Institutional Banking
Services. Further information regarding the Corporation's core business
sectors, as well as certain non-core sectors such as Real Estate Workout, is
presented in the Business Sectors section on pages 10 through 12 of the
Corporation's 1994 Annual Report to Shareholders, which pages are incorporated
herein by reference. A brief discussion of the business sectors is presented
below. There is considerable interrelationship among these sectors.

Consumer Investment Services

The Corporation provides a broad array of personal trust services, investment
services and retail mutual funds to consumers. These products and services are
offered principally through the Private Asset Management trust group of Mellon
Bank and Boston Safe Deposit and Trust Company, through Dreyfus and throughout
the Corporation's retail banking network.

Consumer Banking Services

The Consumer Banking Services sector includes consumer lending, branch banking,
small business banking, credit card, jumbo residential mortgage lending and
mortgage loan origination and servicing. The consumer lending, branch banking
and small business banking services primarily are offered through the
Corporation's retail banking network which is comprised of 406 branch offices,
42 supermarket facilities, 611 ATM's, 10 loan sales offices and a telephone
banking center. This network is primarily located in the Central Atlantic
region of the United States. This banking network provides a full range of
products to individuals including short- and long-term credit facilities,
credit cards, mortgages, safe deposit facilities and access to ATM's. Jumbo
residential mortgage lending is offered nationally through the private asset
management representative offices. This sector also includes the core
servicing function of the Corporation's mortgage banking operations located in
Houston, Denver and Cleveland, through which the Corporation originates and
services residential and commercial mortgages for institutional investors and
makes residential loans nationwide.

Description of Business (continued)

Corporate/Institutional Investment Services

The Corporate/Institutional Investment Services sector serves the institutional
markets (including employee benefit plans) by providing institutional trust and
custody, institutional asset and institutional mutual fund management and
administration, securities lending, foreign exchange, cash management and stock
transfer services. The Corporation's subsidiaries provide these trust and
investment management services while operating under the umbrella name "Mellon
Trust." The Corporation also owns a number of subsidiaries that provide a
variety of active and passive equity and fixed income investment management
services, including management of international securities. Through the Global
Cash Management department, the Corporation offers a broad range of cash
management services, including remittance processing, collections and
disbursements, check processing and electronic wire transfer services. The
Corporation's subsidiaries also provide services relating to defined
contribution employee benefit plans under the umbrella name "Dreyfus Retirement
Services."

Corporate/Institutional Banking Services

Corporate/Institutional Banking Services includes large corporate and middle
market lending, asset based lending, certain capital markets and leasing
activities, commercial real estate lending and insurance premium financing.

The Corporation provides lending and other institutional banking services to
domestic and selected international markets through its Corporate Banking,
Institutional Banking, Capital Markets and Leasing departments. These markets
generally include large domestic commercial and industrial customers, U.S.
operations of foreign companies, multinational corporations, state and local
governments and various financial institutions (including banks, securities
broker/dealers, insurance companies, finance companies and mutual funds). The
Corporation also offers corporate finance and rate risk management products;
syndicates, participates out and sells loans; offers a variety of capital
markets products and services, including private placement and money market
transactions; and provides equipment leasing, financing and lease advisory
services. The Corporation maintains foreign offices in London, Tokyo, Hong
Kong, Toronto, and Grand Cayman, British West Indies. Through these offices,
the Corporation conducts trade finance activities, engages in correspondent
banking and provides corporate banking and capital markets services. Included
in this sector is a nationwide asset based lending division which provides
secured lending, principally through accounts receivable and inventory
financing. As part of this sector, Middle Market Banking serves companies with
annual sales between $10 million and $250 million and the health care industry
on a national basis.

Real Estate lending consists of the Corporation's commercial real estate
lending activities, through which it originates financing for residential,
commercial, multi-family and other products.

The Corporation provides property and casualty insurance premium financing to
small, mid-size and large companies in the United States through the AFCO
Credit Corporation and in Canada through CAFO.

The 1994 Annual Report to Shareholders summarizes principal locations and
operating entities on pages 84 through 86, which pages are incorporated herein
by reference. Exhibit 21.1 to this Annual Report on Form 10-K presents a list
of the subsidiaries of the Corporation as of December 31, 1994.

Supervision and Regulation

The Corporation, as a bank holding company, is regulated under the Bank Holding
Company Act of 1956, as amended (the "Act"), and is subject to the supervision
of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "Federal Reserve
Board"). Generally, the Act limits the business of bank holding companies to
banking, managing or controlling banks, performing certain servicing activities
for subsidiaries, and engaging in such other activities as the Federal Reserve
Board may determine to be closely related to banking and a proper incident
thereto. Certain of the Corporation's subsidiaries are themselves bank holding
companies under the Act. As a result of its 1994 acquisition of Dreyfus and
its subsidiary that is now Mellon Bank, F.S.B., the Corporation is also
regulated under the Home Owner's Loan Act of 1933 as a savings and loan holding
company.

The Corporation's national banking subsidiaries are subject to primary
supervision, regulation and examination by the Office of the Comptroller of the
Currency (the "OCC"); Boston Safe Deposit and Trust Company ("BSDT") is subject
to supervision, regulation and examination by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation (the "FDIC") and the Massachusetts Office of the Commissioner of
Banks; Mellon Bank (MD) is subject to supervision, regulation and examination
by the Federal Reserve Board and the State of Maryland; Glendale PA is subject
to supervision, regulation and examination by the Federal Reserve Board; and
Mellon Bank, F.S.B. is subject to supervision, regulation and examination by
the Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS"). Mellon Securities Trust Company,
Dreyfus Trust Company and Boston Safe Deposit and Trust Company of New York are
New York trust companies and are supervised by the New York State Department of
Banking. Boston Safe Deposit and Trust Company of California is a California
trust company and is supervised by the State of California Banking Department.

The Corporation's subsidiaries engaged in securities related activities are
regulated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Dreyfus
Investment Services Corporation, a subsidiary of the Corporation, conducts a
brokerage operation and Mellon Investment Products Company, a subsidiary of
Mellon Bank, engages in the sale, as agent, of certain mutual fund and unit
investment trust products. Dreyfus Service Corporation, a subsidiary of
Dreyfus, acts as a broker/dealer for the sale of shares of the Dreyfus family
of mutual funds. Dreyfus Investment Services Corporation, Mellon Investment
Products Company and Dreyfus Service Corporation are registered broker/dealers
and members of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., a
securities industry self-regulatory organization.

Certain subsidiaries of the Corporation are registered investment advisers
under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and, as such, are supervised by the
SEC. They are also subject to various federal and state laws and regulations
and to the laws of any countries in which they do business. These laws and
regulations are primarily intended to benefit clients and fund shareholders and
generally grant supervisory agencies broad administrative powers, including the
power to limit or restrict the carrying on of business for failure to comply
with such laws and regulations. In such event, the possible sanctions which
may be imposed include the suspension of individual employees, limitations on
engaging in business for specific periods, the revocation of the registration
as an investment advisor, censures and fines. Each investment company (as
defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940) which is advised by a subsidiary
of the Corporation, including the Dreyfus family of mutual funds, is registered
with the SEC, and the shares of most are qualified for sale in all states in
the United States and the District of Columbia, except for investment companies
offered only to residents of a particular state or of a foreign country and
except for certain other investment companies which are exempt from such
registration or qualification.

Certain of the Corporation's public finance activities are regulated by the
Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board. Mellon Bank and certain of the
Corporation's other subsidiaries are registered with the Commodity Futures
Trading Commission (the "CFTC") as commodity pool operators or commodity
trading advisors and, as such, are subject to CFTC regulation.

The Corporation and its subsidiaries are subject to an extensive system of
banking laws and regulations that are intended primarily for the protection of
the customers and depositors of the Corporation's subsidiaries rather than
holders of the Corporation's securities. These laws and regulations govern
such areas as permissible activities, reserves, loans and investments, and
rates of interest that can be charged on loans. The Corporation and its
subsidiaries also are subject to general U.S. federal laws and regulations and
to the laws and regulations of the states or countries in which they conduct
their businesses. Set forth below are brief descriptions of selected laws and

Supervision and Regulation (continued)

regulations applicable to the Corporation and its subsidiaries. The references
are not intended to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by
reference to the statutes and regulations themselves. Changes in applicable
law or regulation may have a material effect on the business of the
Corporation.

Pennsylvania legislation authorizes bank holding companies in any state to
acquire Pennsylvania banks or bank holding companies provided that Pennsylvania
bank holding companies enjoy reciprocal privileges in those jurisdictions.
Most states outside the Southeast currently have such reciprocal laws. As a
result, the Corporation can acquire banks in any state that has a reciprocal
law. On September 29, 1994, the Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching
Efficiency Act of 1994 (the "Interstate Act") was enacted into Federal law.
Under the Interstate Act, commencing on September 29, 1995, bank holding
companies will be permitted to acquire banks located in any state regardless of
the state law in effect at the time. The Interstate Act also provides for the
nationwide interstate branching of banks. Under the Interstate Act, both
national and state-chartered banks will be permitted to merge across state
lines (and thereby create interstate branches) commencing June 1, 1997. States
are permitted to "opt-out" of the interstate branching authority by taking
action prior to the commencement date. States may also "opt-in" early (i.e.,
prior to June 1, 1997) to the interstate branching provisions.

There are certain restrictions on the ability of the Corporation and certain of
its non-bank affiliates to borrow from, and engage in other transactions with,
its banking subsidiaries and on the ability of such banking subsidiaries to pay
dividends to the Corporation. These restrictions are discussed in note 17 of
the Notes to Financial Statements on page 66 of the Corporation's 1994 Annual
Report to Shareholders. This note is incorporated herein by reference.

The OCC has authority under the Financial Institutions Supervisory Act to
prohibit national banks from engaging in any activity which, in the OCC's
opinion, constitutes an unsafe or unsound practice in conducting their
businesses. The Federal Reserve Board has similar authority with respect to
the Corporation, Mellon Bank (MD), Glendale PA and the Corporation's non-bank
subsidiaries, including Mellon Securities Trust Company, a member of the
Federal Reserve System. The FDIC has similar authority with respect to BSDT
and the OTS has similar authority with respect to Mellon Bank, F.S.B.

The deposits of each of the banking subsidiaries are insured up to applicable
limits by the FDIC and are subject to deposit insurance assessments to maintain
the Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF") of the FDIC. The FDIC has adopted a risk-based
assessment system to replace the previous flat-rate system. The risk-based
system imposes insurance premiums based upon a matrix that takes into account a
bank's capital level and supervisory rating. Under this risk-based system, the
assessment rate imposed on banks ranges from 23 cents for each $100 of domestic
deposits for the healthiest institutions to 31 cents for each $100 of domestic
deposits for the weakest institutions. On January 31, 1995, the FDIC staff
proposed a reduction in the assessment rates applicable to the BIF (but not in
rates applicable to the Savings Association Insurance Fund). For well
capitalized institutions, the premium would be reduced by 83% from the current
23 cents for every $100 of deposits to 4 cents per $100 of deposits. If
adopted, the proposal would not be expected to become effective before the
second half of 1995.

The Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act ("FIRREA")
contains a "cross-guarantee" provision that could result in any insured
depository institution owned by the Corporation being assessed for losses
incurred by the FDIC in connection with assistance provided to, or the failure
of, any other depository institution owned by the Corporation. Also, under
Federal Reserve Board policy, the Corporation may be expected to act as a
source of financial strength to each of its banking subsidiaries and to commit
resources to support each such bank in circumstances where such bank might not
be in a financial position to support itself.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 ("FDICIA")
substantially revised the depository institution regulatory and funding
provisions of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and made revisions to several
other federal banking statutes. Among other things, federal banking regulators
are required to take prompt corrective action in respect of depository
institutions that do not meet minimum capital requirements. FDICIA identifies
the following capital tiers for financial institutions: well capitalized,
adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized and
critically undercapitalized.

9

Supervision and Regulation (continued)

Rules adopted by the federal banking agencies under FDICIA provide that an
institution is deemed to be: "well capitalized" if the institution has a Total
risk-based capital ratio of 10.0% or greater, a Tier I risk-based ratio of 6.0%
or greater, and a leverage ratio of 5.0% or greater, and the institution is not
subject to an order, written agreement, capital directive, or prompt corrective
action directive to meet and maintain a specific level for any capital measure;
"adequately capitalized" if the institution has a Total risk-based capital
ratio of 8.0% or greater, a Tier I risk-based capital ratio of 4.0% or greater,
and a leverage ratio of 4.0% or greater (or a leverage ratio of 3.0% or greater
if the institution is rated composite 1 in its most recent report of
examination, subject to appropriate Federal banking agency guidelines), and the
institution does not meet the definition of a well capitalized institution;
"undercapitalized" if the institution has a Total risk-based capital ratio that
is less than 8.0%, a Tier I risk-based capital ratio that is less than 4.0% or
a leverage ratio that is less than 4.0% (or a leverage ratio that is less than
3.0% if the institution is rated composite 1 in its most recent report of
examination, subject to appropriate Federal banking agency guidelines) and the
institution does not meet the definition of a significantly undercapitalized or
critically undercapitalized institution; "significantly undercapitalized" if
the institution has a Total risk-based capital ratio that is less than 6.0%, a
Tier I risk-based capital ratio that is less than 3.0%, or a leverage ratio
that is less than 3.0% and the institution does not meet the definition of a
critically undercapitalized institution; and "critically undercapitalized" if
the institution has a ratio of tangible equity to total assets that is equal to
or less than 2.0%. FDICIA imposes progressively more restrictive constraints
on operations, management and capital distributions, depending on the capital
category in which an institution is classified.

At December 31, 1994, all of the Corporation's banking subsidiaries fell into
the well capitalized category based on the ratios and guidelines noted above.

The appropriate Federal banking agency may, under certain circumstances,
reclassify a well capitalized insured depository institution as adequately
capitalized. The appropriate agency is also permitted to require an adequately
capitalized or undercapitalized institution to comply with the supervisory
provisions as if the institution were in the next lower category (but not treat
a significantly undercapitalized institution as critically undercapitalized)
based on supervisory information other than the capital levels of the
institution.

The statute provides that an institution may be reclassified if the appropriate
Federal banking agency determines (after notice and opportunity for hearing)
that the institution is in an unsafe or unsound condition or deems the
institution to be engaging in an unsafe or unsound practice.

Legislation enacted in August 1993 provides that deposits and certain claims
for administrative expenses and employee compensation against an insured
depository institution would be afforded a priority over other general
unsecured claims against such an institution in the "liquidation or other
resolution" of such an institution by any receiver.

During recent years, regulatory guidelines have been adopted, and legislation
has been proposed in Congress, to address concerns regarding retail sales by
banks of various nondeposit investment products, including mutual funds.
Legislative and regulatory attention to these matters is likely to continue,
and may intensify, in the future. Although existing statutory and regulatory
requirements in this regard have not had a significant effect on the
Corporation's business, there can be no assurance that future requirements will
not have such an effect. Various other legislation, including proposals to
restructure the banking regulatory system and the separation of banking from
certain securities and other commercial activities, are from time to time
introduced in Congress. The Corporation cannot determine the ultimate effect
that any such potential legislation, if enacted, would have upon its financial
condition or operations.

10

Competition

The Corporation and its subsidiaries continue to be subject to intense
competition in all aspects and areas of their businesses from banks; other
domestic and foreign financial institutions, such as savings and loan
associations, savings banks, finance companies and credit unions; and other
providers of financial services, such as brokerage firms, investment companies,
credit companies and insurance companies. The Corporation also competes with
nonfinancial institutions, including retail stores and manufacturers of
consumer products that maintain their own credit programs, as well as
governmental agencies that make available loans to certain borrowers. Also, in
the Corporate/Institutional Investment Services business sector, the
Corporation competes with a wide range of technologically capable service
providers, such as data processing and outsourcing firms.

In terms of domestic deposits, Mellon Bank is the second largest commercial
banking institution in Pennsylvania where it competes with approximately 250
commercial banks, 130 thrifts and numerous credit unions and consumer finance
institutions. Mellon Bank competes with approximately 30 commercial banks and
40 thrifts in the six-county Pittsburgh area of Western Pennsylvania. Mellon
Bank competes with approximately 40 commercial banks and 50 thrifts in the
five- county Philadelphia area, one of the largest metropolitan areas in the
United States. In most of the markets in which the Corporation's banking
subsidiaries operate, they compete with large regional and other banking
organizations in making commercial, industrial and consumer loans, and in
providing products and services.

Competition has continued to increase in recent years in many areas in which
the Corporation and its subsidiaries operate, in substantial part because other
types of financial institutions and other entities are increasingly engaging in
activities traditionally engaged in by commercial banks. Commercial banks face
significant competition in acquiring quality assets due to such factors as the
increase in commercial paper and long-term debt issued by industrial companies,
increased activities by foreign banks and credit unions, and the increased
lending powers granted to and employed by many types of thrift institutions and
credit unions. Commercial banks also face competition in attracting deposits
at reasonable prices due to the activities of money market funds; increased
activities of non-bank deposit takers, including brokerage firms; alternatives
presented by foreign banks; and the increased availability of demand deposit
type accounts at thrift institutions and credit unions. Unlike the
Corporation, many of these competitors, with the particular exception of thrift
institutions, are not subject to regulation as extensive as that described
under the "Supervision and Regulation" section and, as a result, they may have
a competitive advantage over the Corporation in certain respects.


Employees

The Corporation and its subsidiaries had approximately 25,000 full-time
equivalent employees in December 1994.

IV. Summary of Loan Loss Experience

The Corporation employs various estimation techniques in developing
the credit loss reserve. Management reviews the specific
circumstances of individual loans subject to more than the customary
potential for exposure to loss. In establishing the level of the
reserve, management also identifies market concentrations, changing
business trends, industry risks, and specific and general economic
factors that may adversely affect loan collectibility. Other factors
considered in determining the level of the reserve include: trends in
portfolio volume, quality, maturity and composition; historical loss
experience; lending policies; new products; the status and amount of
nonperforming and past-due loans; adequacy of collateral; and current,
as well as anticipated specific and general economic factors that may
affect certain borrowers. In addition, management assesses volatile
factors such as interest rates and real estate market conditions that
may significantly alter loss potential. Based on this evaluation,
management believes that the credit loss reserve is adequate to absorb
future losses inherent in the portfolio.

The reserve is not specifically associated with individual loans or
portfolio segments. Thus, the reserve is available to absorb credit
losses arising from any individual loan or portfolio segment. When
losses on specific loans are identified, management charges off the
portion deemed uncollectible. In view of the fungible nature of the
reserve and management's practice of charging off known losses, the
Corporation does not maintain truly specific reserves on any loan.
However, management has developed a loan loss reserve methodology
designed to provide procedural discipline in assessing the adequacy of
the reserve. The allocation of the Corporation's reserve for credit
losses presented below is based on this loan loss reserve methodology.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Various legal actions and proceedings are pending or are threatened against the
Corporation and its subsidiaries, some of which seek relief or damages in
amounts that are substantial. These actions and proceedings arise in the
ordinary course of the Corporation's businesses and include suits relating to
its lending, collections, servicing, investment, mutual fund, advisory, trust
and other activities. Because of the complex nature of some of these actions
and proceedings, it may be a number of years before such matters ultimately are
resolved. After consultation with legal counsel, management believes that the
aggregate liability, if any, resulting from such pending and threatened actions
and proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the Corporation's
financial condition.

On November 29, 1994, a shareholder of the Corporation brought a derivative
action in federal court in Pittsburgh, purportedly on behalf of the
Corporation, against various directors of the Corporation. The lawsuit alleges
that those directors breached their fiduciary duty to the Corporation by
grossly mismanaging and wasting corporate assets in connection with the $130
million fourth quarter, after-tax loss to the Corporation as a result of
actions taken in its securities lending business. On March 13, 1995, the
plaintiff on his own motion and without payment from the Corporation or any
other defendent, withdrew the lawsuit.

PART II


ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

The information required by this Item is set forth in the Corporation's 1994
Annual Report to Shareholders in Liquidity and Dividends on pages 23 and 24, in
Selected Quarterly Data on page 42, in note 17 of Notes to Financial Statements
on page 66 and in Corporate Information on page 90, which portions are
incorporated herein by reference.

In August 1989, the Corporation adopted a Shareholder Protection Rights Plan
under which each shareholder receives one Right for each share of common stock
("voting stock") of the Corporation held. The Rights are currently represented
by the certificates for, and trade only with, the voting stock. The Rights
would separate from the voting stock and become exercisable only if a person or
group acquires 20 percent or more of the voting power of the voting stock or
ten days after a person or group commences a tender offer that would result in
ownership of 20 percent or more of such voting power. At that time, each Right
would entitle the holder to purchase for $200 (the "exercise price") one
one-hundredth of a share of participating preferred stock. Each share of such
preferred stock would be entitled to cumulative dividends equal to 1% per
annum, plus the amount of dividends that would be payable on 100 shares of the
Corporation's common stock, and would have a liquidation preference of the
greater of 100 times the exercise price or the amount to be distributed in
liquidation to a holder of 100 shares of the Corporation's common stock.
Should a person or group actually acquire 20% or more of the voting power of
the voting stock, each Right held by the acquiring person or group (or their
transferees) would become void and each Right held by the Corporation's other
shareholders would entitle those holders to purchase for the exercise price a
number of shares of the Corporation's common stock having a market value of
twice the exercise price. Should the Corporation be involved in a merger or
similar transaction with a 20% percent owner or sell more than 50% percent of
its assets or assets generating more than 50% of its operating income or cash
flow to any person or group, each outstanding Right would then entitle its
holder to purchase for the exercise price a number of shares of such other
company having a market value of twice the exercise price. In addition, if any
person or group acquires between 20% and 50% of the voting power of the voting
stock, the Corporation may, at its option, exchange one share of common stock
for each outstanding Right. The Rights are not exercisable until the above
events occur and will expire on August 15, 1999, unless earlier exchanged or
redeemed by the Corporation. The Corporation may redeem the Rights for $.01
per Right under certain circumstances. The distribution of the Rights was not
a taxable event.
