PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
GENERAL DEVELOPMENT OF BUSINESS
State Street Boston Corporation ("State Street") is a bank holding company
organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
State Street was organized in 1970 and conducts its business principally
through its subsidiary, State Street Bank and Trust Company ("State Street
Bank"), which traces its beginnings to the founding of the Union Bank in 1792.
The charter under which State Street Bank now operates was authorized by a
special act of the Massachusetts Legislature in 1891, and its present name was
adopted in 1960.
State Street is the fifth largest provider of trust services in the United
States as ranked on the basis of 1994 fiduciary compensation. State Street had
$2.3 trillion of assets under custody, $283 billion of bonds under trusteeship,
and $226 billion of assets under management at year-end 1995. Ranked on the
basis of total assets as of September 1995, State Street is the 33rd largest
bank holding company in the United States. State Street's total assets were
$25.8 billion at December 31, 1995, of which $18.6 billion, or 72%, were
investment securities and money market assets and $3.9 billion, or 15%, were
loans.
Services are provided from offices in the United States, as well as from
offices in Canada, Grand Cayman, Netherland Antilles, the United Kingdom,
France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Denmark, Germany, United Arab Emirates, Hong Kong,
Taiwan, Japan, Australia, and New Zealand. State Street's executive offices are
located at 225 Franklin Street, Boston, Massachusetts. For information as to
foreign activities, refer to Note T to the Notes to Financial Statements which
appear in State Street's 1995 Annual Report to Stockholders. Such information is
incorporated by reference.
LINES OF BUSINESS
State Street has three lines of business: financial asset services,
investment management and commercial lending. In 1995, 65% of net income came
from the broad and growing array of financial asset services, 24% came from
commercial lending and 16% came from investment management. Corporate items
reduced net income by 5%. The results of operations for State Street's lines of
business are set forth in tabular form and discussed on pages 30 and 31 of State
Street's 1995 Annual Report to Stockholders in management's discussion and
analysis of financial condition and results of operation. Such information is
incorporated by reference.
FINANCIAL ASSET SERVICES
Financial asset services are primarily accounting, custody and other
services for large pools of assets such as mutual funds and pension plans, both
defined benefit and defined contribution, and corporate trusteeship. A broad
array of other services is provided, including accounting, information services
and recordkeeping. Also provided are banking functions of accepting deposits,
managing global cash, making loans and trading foreign exchange.
With $1 trillion of mutual fund assets under custody, State Street is the
leading mutual fund custodian in the United States, servicing 41% of the
registered funds. State Street began providing mutual fund services in 1924 and
servicing pension assets in 1974. Customers who sponsor the 2,842 U.S. mutual
funds that State Street services include investment companies, broker/dealers,
insurance companies and others. In addition, State Street services 242 offshore
mutual funds and collective investment funds in other countries.
State Street offers a full array of mutual fund services, including custody,
portfolio and general ledger accounting, pricing, fund administration and
information services. Shareholder accounting is provided through a 50%-owned
affiliate.
Servicing $927 billion of pension and other assets for North American
customers, State Street is ranked as the largest servicer of tax-exempt assets
for corporations and public funds in the United States and the largest global
custodian for U.S. pension assets. Services include portfolio accounting,
securities custody, securities lending, and other related services for
retirement and other financial assets of benefit pension plans, unions,
endowments, foundations, and nuclear decommissioning trusts. In addition, State
Street provides global and domestic custody-related services for $115 billion in
assets for customers outside North America.
State Street acts as participant recordkeeper, securities custodian and
trustee for defined contribution plans, such as 401(k) plans and ESOPs, and
issues checks for employee benefit distributions. Corporate trust services for
asset-backed securities, corporate securities, leveraged leases, and municipal
securities are provided to investment banks, corporations, municipalities and
government agencies from four offices in the United States. At year end 1995,
bonds under trusteeship totaled $283 billion.
State Street provides foreign exchange trading and global cash management
services to financial institutions and corporations. Funds are gathered in the
form of domestic and foreign deposits, federal funds purchased and securities
sold under repurchase agreements from local, national and international sources.
Trading and arbitrage operations are conducted with government securities,
futures and options. Municipal dealer activities include underwriting, trading
and distribution of general obligation tax-exempt bonds and notes. Treasury
centers are located in Boston, London, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Sydney, Munich and
Luxembourg. State Street also provides corporate finance services, including
private placement of debt and equity, acquisitions and divestitures, and project
finance.
INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT
State Street was a pioneer in the development of domestic and international
index funds through State Street Global Advisors ("SSgA"). The products now
offered by SSgA include enhanced index and fully-active equity strategies,
short-term investment funds and fixed income products. These products are sold
and managed both domestically and from locations outside the United States.
State Street is ranked as the largest manager of internationally-indexed assets
and the second largest manager of tax-exempt money in the United States. State
Street is a leading New England trustee and money manager for individuals, and
provides planned gift management services for non-profit organizations
throughout the United States. At year-end 1995, institutional and personal trust
assets under management totaled $226 billion.
COMMERCIAL LENDING
State Street provides corporate banking, specialized lending and
international banking to business and financial institutions. One-third of the
loan portfolio supports the short-term needs of financial asset services
customers and securities brokers in conjunction with their trading and
settlement activity. Corporate banking services are offered primarily to middle
market companies in the Northeast as well as small businesses in the local
community. Specialized lending is both regional and national, with specialities
that include cable television, security alarm monitoring, technology-based

Loans are evaluated on an individual basis to determine the appropriateness
of renewing each loan. State Street does not have a general rollover policy.
Unearned revenue included in loans was $3,458,000 and $4,112,000 at December 31,
1995 and 1994, respectively.
NON-ACCRUAL LOANS
It is State Street's policy to place loans on a non-accrual basis when they
become 60 days past due as to either principal or interest, or when in the
opinion of management, full collection of principal or interest is unlikely.
Loans eligible for non-accrual, but considered both well secured and in the
process of collection, are treated as exceptions and may be exempted from
nonaccrual status. When the loan is placed on non-accrual, the accrual of
interest is discontinued and previously recorded but unpaid interest is reversed
and charged against current earnings. Past due loans are loans on which
principal or interest payments are over 90 days delinquent, but where interest
continues to be accrued.

due loans:

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES (continued)
State Street establishes an allowance for loan losses to absorb probable
credit losses. Management's review of the adequacy of the allowance for loan
losses is ongoing throughout the year and is based, among other factors, on the
evaluation of the level of risk in the portfolio, the volume of adversely
classified loans, previous loss experience, current trends, and expected
economic conditions and its effect on borrowers.
State Street adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS")
No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan," as amended by SFAS
No. 118 on January 1, 1995. SFAS No. 114 requires that the allowance for loan
losses related to certain loans be evaluated based on discounted cash flows
using the loans initial effective interest rate or the fair value of the
underlying collateral for certain collateral dependent loans. Prior to January
1, 1995, the allowance for loan losses related to these loans was based on
undiscounted cash flows or the fair value of the collateral for collateral
dependent loans. The adoption of SFAS No. 114 did not have a material effect on
the financial statements of State Street.
While the allowance is established to absorb probable losses inherent in the
total loan portfolio, management allocates the allowance for loan losses to
specific loans, selected portfolio segments and certain off-balance sheet
exposures and commitments. Adversely classified loans in excess of $1 million
are individually reviewed to evaluate risk of loss and assigned a specific
allocation of the allowance. The allocations are based on an assessment of
potential risk of loss and include evaluations of the borrowers' financial
strength, discounted cash flows, collateral, appraisals and guarantees. The
allocations to portfolio segments and off-balance sheet exposures are based on
management's evaluation of relevant factors, including the current level of
problem loans and current economic trends. These allocations are also based on
subjective estimates and management judgment, and are subject to change from
quarter-to-quarter. In addition, a portion of the allowance remains unallocated
as a general reserve for the entire loan portfolio.
The provision for loan losses is a charge to earnings for the current period
which is required to maintain the total allowance at a level considered adequate
in relation to the level of risk in the loan portfolio. The provision for loan
losses was $8.0 million in 1995, compared with $11.6 million for 1994.
At December 31, 1995, the allowance for loan losses was $63.5 million, or
1.59% of loans. This compares with an allowance of $58.2 million or 1.80% of
loans a year ago. This decline reflects improvement in measures of credit
quality and a continuing satisfactory outlook for general economic conditions
and its effect on borrowers.
CREDIT QUALITY
At December 31, 1995, loans comprised 15% of State Street's assets. State
Street's loan policies limit the size of individual loan exposures to reduce
risk through diversification.
In 1995, net charge-offs declined to $2.7 million from $7.7 million in 1994.
Net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans were .07% compared to .23% for
1994.
At December 31, 1995, total non-performing assets were $18.7 million, an
$8.7 million decrease from year-end 1994. For 1995 and 1994, respectively,
non-performing assets include $15.5 million and $23.0 million of non-accrual
loans and $3.2 million and $4.4 million of other real estate owned. In 1995,
loans placed on non-accrual status were more than offset by charge-offs,
payments, and the return to accrual status of several loans. The decline in
other real estate owned resulted from property sales.
In 1995, measures of credit quality improved, as discussed above, as did the
general economic outlook. We expect these levels of credit quality to continue
in 1996. It is anticipated that gross charge-offs in 1996 will generally
approximate the 1995 level and are expected to be primarily in the commercial
and financial category.
CROSS-BORDER OUTSTANDINGS
Countries with which State Street has cross-border outstandings (primarily
deposits and letters of credit to banks and other financial institutions) of at
least 1% of its total assets at December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, were as

COMPETITION
State Street operates in a highly competitive environment in all areas of
its business on a worldwide basis, including servicing financial assets,
investment management and commercial lending. In addition to facing strong
competition from other deposit taking institutions, State Street faces strong
competition from investment management firms, private trustees, insurance
companies, mutual funds, broker/dealers, investment banking firms, law firms,
benefit consultants, and business service companies. As State Street expands
globally, additional sources of competition are encountered.
EMPLOYEES
At December 31, 1995, State Street had 11,324 employees, of whom 10,996 were
full-time.
REGULATION AND SUPERVISION
State Street is registered with the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System (the "Board") as a bank holding company pursuant to the Bank
Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the "Act"). The Act, with certain
exceptions, limits the activities that may be engaged in by State Street and its
non-bank subsidiaries, which includes non bank companies which it owns or
controls more than 5% of a class of voting shares, to those which are deemed by
the Board to be so closely related to banking or managing or controlling banks
as to be a proper incident thereto. In making such determination, the Board must
consider whether the performance of any such activity by a subsidiary of State
Street can reasonably be expected to produce benefits to the public, such as
greater convenience, increased competition or gains in efficiency, that outweigh
possible adverse effects, such as undue concentration of resources, decreased or
unfair competition, conflicts of interest or unsound banking practices. The
Board is authorized to differentiate between activities commenced de novo and
those commenced by the acquisition in whole or in part of a going concern. The
Board may order a bank holding company to terminate any activity or its
ownership or control of a nonbank subsidiary if the Board finds that such
activity or ownership or control constitutes a serious risk to the financial
safety, soundness or stability of a subsidiary bank and is inconsistent with
sound banking principles or statutory purposes. In the opinion of management,
all of State Street's present subsidiaries are within the statutory standard or
are otherwise permissible. The Act also requires a bank holding company to
obtain prior approval of the Board before it may acquire substantially all the
assets of any bank or ownership or control of more than 5% of the voting shares
of any bank.
The Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994 (the
"Interstate Act") generally permits bank holding companies to acquire banks
located in any state, without regard as to whether the transaction is prohibited
under state law, commencing on September 29, 1995. In addition, it generally
permits national and state chartered banks to merge across state lines (and
thereby create interstate branches) commencing June 1, 1997. Under the
provisions of the Interstate Act, states are permitted to "opt out" of this
latter 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 merger provisions. Further, the Interstate Act provides that states
may act affirmatively to permit de novo branching by banking institutions across
state lines.
The Board has established risk-based capital guidelines that require minimum
ratios of capital to risk-weighted assets and certain off-balance sheet credit
exposure. The Board also maintains a leverage ratio guideline that is a measure
of capital to total average balance sheet assets. Information on State Street's
capital appears on the return on equity and assets and capital ratio table of
this report.
State Street and its non-bank subsidiaries are affiliates of State Street
Bank under the federal banking laws, which impose certain restrictions on
transfers of funds in the form of loans, extensions of credit, investments or
asset purchases by State Street Bank to State Street and its non-bank
subsidiaries. Transfers of this kind to State Street and its non-bank
subsidiaries by State Street Bank are limited to 10% of State Street Bank's
capital and surplus with respect to each affiliate and to 20% in the aggregate,
and are also subject to certain collateral requirements. A bank holding company
and its subsidiaries are prohibited from engaging in certain tie-in arrangements
in connection with any extension of credit or lease or sale of property or
furnishing of services. Federal law also provides that certain transactions with
affiliates must be on terms and under circumstances, including credit standards
that are substantially the same, or at least as favorable to the institution as
those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions involving other
non-qualified companies or, in the absence of comparable transactions, on terms
and under circumstances, including credit standards, that in good faith would be
offered to, or would apply to, nonaffiliated companies. The Board has
jurisdiction to regulate the terms of certain debt issues of bank holding
companies.
State Street, State Street Bank and their affiliates are also subject to
restrictions with respect to issuing, floating and underwriting, or publicly
selling or distributing, securities in the United States. State Street and its
affiliates are able to underwrite and deal in specific categories of securities,
including U.S. government and certain agency, state, and municipal securities.
Federal Reserve Board regulations require a bank holding company to act as a
source of financial and managerial strength to its subsidiary banks. Under this
regulation, State Street may be required to commit resources to its subsidiary
banks in circumstances where it might not do so absent such regulation. In the
event of a bank holding company's bankruptcy, any commitment by the bank holding
company to a federal bank regulatory agency to maintain the capital of a
subsidiary bank will be assumed by the bankruptcy trustee and entitled to a
priority payment.
The primary banking agency responsible for regulating State Street and its
subsidiaries, including State Street Bank, for both domestic and international
operations is the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston. State Street is also subject
to the Massachusetts bank holding company statute. The Massachusetts statute
requires prior approval by the Massachusetts Board of Bank Incorporation for the
acquisition by State Street of more than 5% of the voting shares of any
additional bank and for other forms of bank acquisitions.
State Street's banking subsidiaries are subject to supervision and
examination by various regulatory authorities. State Street Bank is a member of
the Federal Reserve System and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the
"FDIC") and is subject to applicable federal and state banking laws and to
supervision and examination by the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston, as well as by
the Massachusetts Commissioner of Banks, the FDIC, and the regulatory
authorities of those countries in which a branch of State Street Bank is
located. Other subsidiary banks are subject to supervision and examination by
the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency or by the appropriate state
banking regulatory authorities of the states in which they are located. State
Street's foreign banking subsidiaries are also subject to regulation by the
regulatory authorities of the countries in which they are located. The capital
of each of these banking subsidiaries is in excess of the minimum legal capital
requirements as set by those authorities.
The Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989
("FIRREA") broadened the enforcement powers of the federal banking agencies,
including increased power to impose fines and penalties, over all financial
institutions, including bank holding companies and commercial banks. As a result
of FIRREA, State Street Bank and any or all of its subsidiaries can be held
liable for any loss incurred by, or reasonably expected to be incurred by, the
FDIC after August 9, 1989, in connection with (a) the default of State Street
Bank or any other subsidiary bank or (b) any assistance provided by the FDIC to
State Street Bank or any other subsidiary bank in danger of default. The Crime
Control Act of 1990 further broadened the enforcement powers of the federal
banking agencies in a significant number of areas.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 ("FDICIA")
has as its primary objectives to recapitalize the Bank Insurance Fund and
strengthen the regulation and supervision of financial institutions. During
1995, the federal banking agencies continued the process of promulgating
regulations to implement the statute.
The "Prompt Corrective Action" provisions of the FDICIA are for the stated
purpose: "to resolve the problems of insured depository institutions at the
least possible long-term loss to the deposit insurance fund." Each federal
banking agency has implemented prompt corrective action regulations for the
institutions that it regulates. The statute requires or permits the agencies to
take certain supervisory actions when an insured depository institution falls
within one of five specifically enumerated capital categories. It also restricts
or prohibits certain activities and requires the submission of a capital
restoration plan when an insured institution becomes undercapitalized. The
implementing regulations establish the numerical limits for the capital
categories and establish procedures for issuing and contesting prompt corrective
action directives. The five tiers of capital measurement range from "well
capitalized" to "critically undercapitalized". To be within the category "well
capitalized", an insured depository institution must have a total risk- based
capital ratio of 10.0 percent or greater, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of
6.0 percent or greater, and a leverage ratio of 5.0 percent or greater, and the
institution must not be subject to an order, written agreement, capital
directive, or prompt corrective action directive to meet specific capital
requirements. An insured institution is "adequately capitalized" if it has a
total risk-based capital ratio of 8.0 percent or greater, a Tier 1 risk-based
capital ratio of 4.0 percent or greater, and a leverage ratio of 4.0 percent or
greater (or a leverage ratio of 3.0 percent or greater if the institution is
rated composite 1 under the regulatory rating system). The final three capital
categories are levels of undercapitalized, which trigger mandatory statutory
provisions. While other factors in addition to capital ratios determine an
institution's capital category, State Street Bank's capital ratios were within
the "well-capitalized" category at December 31, 1995.
The Federal Reserve Board adopted a final rule, as required by the FDICIA,
prescribing standards that will limit the risks posed by an insured depository
institution's exposure to any other depository institution. Banks are required
to develop written policies and procedures to monitor credit exposure to other
banks, and to limit to 50% and 25% of total capital exposure to
"undercapitalized" banks in 1995 and 1996, respectively.
As required by the FDICIA, the FDIC adopted a regulation that permits only
well capitalized banks, and adequately capitalized banks that have received
waivers from the FDIC, to accept, renew or roll over brokered deposits.
Regulations have also been adopted by the FDIC to limit the activities conducted
as a principal by, and the equity investments of, state-chartered banks to those
permitted for national banks. Banks may apply to the FDIC for approval to
continue to engage in accepted investments and activities.
Other FDICIA regulations adopted require independent audits, an independent
audit committee of the bank's board of directors, stricter truth- in-savings
provisions, and standards for real estate lending. The FDICIA amended deposit
insurance coverage and the FDIC has implemented a rule specifying the treatment
of accounts to be insured up to $100,000.
Under other provisions of FDICIA, the federal banking agencies have adopted
safety and soundness standards for banks in a number of areas including:
internal controls, internal audit systems, information systems, credit
underwriting, interest rate risk, executive compensation and minimum earnings.
The agencies have also adopted rules to revise risk-based capital standards to
take account of interest rate risk, as required by FDICIA.
Legislation enacted as part of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993
provides that deposits in U.S. offices and certain claims for administrative
expenses and employee compensation against a U.S. insured depository institution
which has failed will be afforded a priority over other general unsecured
claims, including deposits in non-U.S. offices and claims under non-depository
contracts in all offices, against such an institution in the "liquidation or
other resolution" of such and institution by any receiver. Accordingly, such
priority creditors (including FDIC, as the subrogee of insured depositors) of
State Street Bank will be entitled to priority over unsecured creditors in the
event of a "liquidation or other resolution" of such institution.
DIVIDENDS
As a bank holding company, State Street is a legal entity separate and
distinct from State Street Bank and its other non-bank subsidiaries. State
Street's principal source of cash revenues is dividends from State Street Bank
and its other non-bank subsidiaries. The right of State Street to participate as
a stockholder in any distribution of assets of a subsidiary upon its liquidation
or reorganization or otherwise is subject to the prior claims by creditors of
the subsidiary, including obligations for federal funds purchased and securities
sold under repurchase agreements, as well as deposit liabilities. Payment of
dividends by State Street Bank is subject to provisions of the Massachusetts
banking law which provides that dividends may be paid out of net profits
provided (i) capital stock and surplus remain unimpaired, (ii) dividend and
retirement fund requirements of any preferred stock have been met, (iii) surplus
equals or exceeds capital stock, and (iv) there are deducted from net profits
any losses and bad debts, as defined, in excess of reserves specifically
established therefore. Under the Federal Reserve Act, the approval of the Board
of Governors of the Federal Reserve System would be required if dividends
declared by the Bank in any year would exceed the total of its net profits for
that year combined with retained net profits for the preceding two years, less
any required transfers to surplus. Under applicable federal and state law
restrictions, at December 31, 1995, State Street Bank could have declared and
paid dividends of $426,266,000 without regulatory approval. Future dividend
payments of the Bank and non-bank subsidiaries cannot be determined at this
time.
ECONOMIC CONDITIONS AND GOVERNMENT POLICIES
Economic policies of the government and its agencies influence the operating
environment of State Street. Monetary policy conducted by the Federal Reserve
Board directly affects the level of interest rates and overall credit conditions
of the economy. Policy instruments utilized by the Federal Reserve Board include
open market operations in U.S. Government securities, changes in reserve
requirements for depository institutions, and changes in the discount rate and
availability of borrowing from the Federal Reserve.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
State Street's headquarters are located in the State Street Bank Building, a
