                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               (UNAUDITED)


1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

   The accounting and reporting policies of First Maryland Bancorp and
subsidiaries (the "Corporation") conform to generally accepted accounting
principles.  The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial
statements reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management,
necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of
operations for the interim periods presented.  These unaudited financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements
and related notes included in the Corporation's 1996 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Certain amounts in the 1996 consolidated financial statements have been
reclassified to conform with the 1997 presentation.


2.  NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

   The Corporation adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 125,
"Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments
of Liabilities ("SFAS 125") on January 1, 1997.  SFAS 125 requires an entity to
recognize the financial and servicing assets it controls and the liabilities it
has incurred and to derecognize the financial assets when control has been
surrendered in accordance with criteria provided in the Statement.  The adoption
of SFAS 125 did not have a material impact on the Corporation's financial
position or results of operations.

   Subsequent to the issuance of SFAS 125, SFAS 127, "Deferral of the Effective
Date of Certain Provisions of FASB Statement 125" was issued.  SFAS No. 127
defers the effective date of certain provisions of SFAS 125 relating to
repurchase agreements, securities lending, and other similar transactions and
pledged collateral until January 1, 1998.  The adoption of SFAS 127 is not
expected to have a material impact on the Corporation's financial position or
results of operations.

   In June 1997, SFAS 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" was issued and is
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997.  SFAS 130
establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its
components (revenues, expenses, gains, and losses) in a full set of general-
purpose financial statements.  SFAS 130 requires the disclosure of an amount
that represents total comprehensive income and the components of comprehensive
income in a financial statement.  The adoption of SFAS 130 is not expected to
have a material impact on the Corporation's financial position or results of
operations.

   In June 1997, SFAS 131, " Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and
Related Information" was issued and is effective for financial statements for
periods beginning after December 15, 1997.  SFAS 131 establishes standards for
determining an entity's operating segments and the type and level of financial
information to be disclosed in both annual and interim financial statements.  It
also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services,
geographic areas, and major customers.  The adoption of SFAS 131 is not expected
to have a material impact on the Corporation's financial position or results of
operations.

3.  ACQUISITION

   On July 8, 1997, Dauphin Deposit Corporation ("Dauphin") merged into the
Corporation, thereby consummating the acquisition of Dauphin by the Corporation
and its parent, Allied Irish Banks, p.l.c. ("AIB").  Under terms of the Merger
Agreement ("Agreement"), holders of  approximately 86% of the outstanding
Dauphin common stock received AIB American Depository Shares ("ADSs") at an
exchange ratio of one AIB ADS for each share of Dauphin common stock.  Each AIB
ADS represents six ordinary shares, IR 25p each, of AIB.  The remaining Dauphin
shareholders received $43.00 per share in cash for their Dauphin common stock.
The AIB ADSs were valued at $43.00 per ADS which is the value of an ADS on the
date the exchange ratio was established in accordance with the terms of the 
Agreement and U.S. GAAP. The aggregate value of the consideration paid to 
Dauphin shareholders under U.S. GAAP was $1.366 billion which was funded by 
cash and the issuance of $505.2 million in common stock to AIB as reported in 
the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Stockholders' Equity.

   On the date of acquisition, Dauphin had total assets of $7.0 billion and
total deposits of $4.2 billion.  This acquisition was accounted for as a
purchase business combination and the results of operations have been included
with the Corporation's results of operations since July 1, 1997.  The
Corporation recorded approximately $940 thousand in imputed interest on the
consideration used to acquire Dauphin for the period of July 1, 1997 to July 8,
1997.   As a result of the acquisition, the Corporation recorded $885.6 million
in intangible assets which included $815.7 million in goodwill as of September
30, 1997.  Goodwill is amortized on a straight line basis over 25 years.

   A summary of unaudited pro forma combined financial information on a reported
and tangible basis for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 as if
the transaction had occurred on January 1, 1997 and 1996, respectively is
presented below.  The pro forma financial information does not purport to be
indicative of the results that would have been obtained if the operations had
actually been combined during the periods presented and is not necessarily
indicative of operating results to be expected in future periods.

6.  ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES

   The provision for credit losses is determined by analyzing the status of
individual loans, reviewing historical loss experience and reviewing delinquency
of principal and interest payments where pertinent.  Management believes that
all uncollectible amounts have been charged-off and that the allowance for
credit losses is adequate to cover all losses inherent in the portfolio at
September 30, 1997.  A summary of the activity in the allowance for the nine

11.  GUARANTEED PREFERRED BENEFICIAL INTERESTS IN COMPANY'S JUNIOR SUBORDINATED
DEBENTURES

      In December 1996 and February 1997, the Corporation issued an aggregate
$300 million in Floating Rate Subordinated Capital Income Securities ("Capital
Securities") through two wholly owned subsidiaries, First Maryland Capital I
("Capital I") and First Maryland Capital II ("Capital II"), Delaware statutory
business trusts ("the Trusts").  The Capital Securities represent undivided
preferred ownership interests in the assets of the Trusts.  The Corporation has
fully and unconditionally guaranteed all of the Trusts' obligations under the
Capital Securities.  The Corporation purchased  9,280 Common Securities of the
Trusts ($1,000 liquidation amount per security) for a purchase price of $9.14
million.  The Trusts used the aggregate proceeds of $304.6 million from the
issuance of the Capital Securities and Common Securities to purchase $309.3
million aggregate principal amount of Floating Rate Junior Subordinated
Debentures ("Junior Subordinated Debentures") issued by the Corporation which
represent the sole assets of the Trusts.  At September 30, 1997, the guaranteed
preferred beneficial interests in Company's junior subordinated debentures had a
balance of $295.8 million.

   Holders of the Capital Securities are entitled to receive cumulative cash
distributions at a variable annual rate equal to LIBOR plus 100 basis points for
the $150 million issued in December 1996 by Capital I and LIBOR plus 85 basis
points for the $150 million issued in February 1997 by Capital II, in each case
per a liquidation amount of $1,000 per Capital Security.  Interest on the Junior
Subordinated Debentures is calculated at the same rate as the Capital
Securities.

   The December 1996 Junior Subordinated Debentures mature on January 15, 2027
and are redeemable by the Corporation in whole or in part on or after January
15, 2007.  The February 1997 Junior Subordinated Debentures mature on February
1, 2027 and are redeemable by the Corporation in whole or in part on or after
February 1, 2007.  The Junior Subordinated Debentures are redeemable by the
Corporation in whole but not in part, upon the occurrence of certain special
events.  The Capital Securities will remain outstanding until the Junior
Subordinated Debentures are repaid at maturity, are redeemed prior to maturity
or are distributed in liquidation to the Trusts.


12.  REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK

   In 1996, the Corporation authorized and issued 90 thousand shares of 4.50%
Cumulative, Redeemable Preferred Stock with a $5 par value and a $100
liquidation preference per share in connection with the Zirkin-Cutler
acquisition.  The redeemable preferred stock was recorded at $7.6 million which
was the fair value of the stock at the date of issue.  The carrying amount will
be increased to the mandatory redemption amount of $9.0 million by periodic
accretions using the interest method with an offset to retained earnings.  At
September 30, 1997, all 90 thousand shares were outstanding and had a balance of
$7.8 million.  The cumulative dividends are payable quarterly when and as
declared by the Corporation's Board of Directors out of funds legally available
for such payments.

   Upon liquidation, the holders are entitled to $100 per share (an aggregate of
$9 million based upon redeemable preferred shares outstanding at September 30,
1997) plus accrued and unpaid cumulative dividends through the distribution date
before any distribution to holders of the Corporation's common stock.

   Redemption can occur at the Corporation's option or the holders' option (on
at least 30 days notice but no more than 60 days notice) during a redemption
period commencing July 1, 2002 and ending June 30, 2003 at $100 per share
(liquidation value) plus accrued and unpaid cumulative dividends through the
redemption date.

in pricing models to determine the fair values of trading instruments.  If
pricing models cannot be utilized, fair values are estimated based upon quoted
prices for similar instruments.

   Trading securities recorded at fair value are included in money market
investments in the consolidated statements of condition.  The positive and
negative fair values and accrued interest receivable and payable for trading
derivatives are included in other assets and other liabilities, respectively, in
the consolidated statements of condition.  Interest income generated by trading
securities is included in interest income on money market investments in the
consolidated statements of income.  Realized and unrealized gains or losses on
trading instruments are included in trading income.

    RISK MANAGEMENT INSTRUMENTS

   Risk management instruments are utilized to modify the interest rate
characteristics of related assets or liabilities and to provide basis risk
protection.  These instruments include interest rate swaps, interest rate caps,
and call options purchased.  The Corporation accounts for these instruments on
an accrual basis when the following conditions are met:  (1) the specific assets
or liabilities to be hedged expose the Corporation to interest rate risk; (2)
the financial instruments manage the interest rate risk exposure; (3) the
financial instruments are designated to specific groups of assets or
liabilities; and (4) at inception and throughout the terms of the financial
instruments, there is a high correlation between the indices of the financial
instruments and the indices of the designated assets or liabilities.  Changes in
the fair value of risk management instruments are not included in the
consolidated financial statements.  Financial instruments that fail to meet the
conditions noted above are recorded at fair value with gains or losses
recognized as trading income.

   For the financial instruments which meet the conditions for accrual status,
accrued interest receivable and payable and any deferred premiums paid are
included in other assets and other liabilities in the consolidated statements of
condition.  Net interest income or expense on interest rate swaps used for risk
management purposes is recognized as an adjustment to the interest income or
expense of the designated assets or liabilities.  The Corporation utilizes an
interest rate swap to manage interest rate risk associated with a securitization
with the related interest income recorded on an accrual basis in servicing
income.  Premiums paid on interest rate caps and call options purchased are
capitalized and amortized as an adjustment to the interest income or expense of
the designated asset or liability.  Gains or losses from early terminations of
risk management financial instruments are deferred and amortized as yield
adjustments over the shorter of the remaining term of the designated asset or
liability or the remaining term of the financial instrument.  Upon disposition
or settlement of a designated asset or liability, the gain or loss is recognized
as a component of the current earnings or loss of the designated asset or
liability.

   The Corporation also utilizes mandatory and optional commitments to deliver
residential securitized mortgages and whole residential mortgage loans to reduce
the interest rate risk inherent in residential mortgage loans held-for-sale and
the commitments made to borrowers for residential mortgage loans which have not
been funded.  These financial instruments are accounted for in the Corporation's
valuation of residential mortgage loans held-for-sale which are carried at the
lower of cost or fair value.

OVERVIEW

   The net income of First Maryland Bancorp ("the Corporation") for the nine
months and quarter ended September 30, 1997 was $123.5 million and $53.5
million, respectively, compared to $96.3 million and $33.7 million for the nine
months and quarter ended September 30, 1996.  Return on average assets and
return on average total equity were 1.26% and 11.13%, respectively, for the nine
months ended September 30, 1997 compared to 1.24% and 10.75% for the nine months
ended September 30, 1996.

   On July 8, 1997, the Corporation and its parent, AIB merged with Dauphin
Deposit Corporation ("Dauphin") which is now a wholly owned subsidiary of the
Corporation.  This acquisition was accounted for as a purchase business
combination which resulted in $885.6 million in intangible assets, primarily
goodwill of $815.7 million which is amortized against earnings.  Dauphin's
results of operations have been included with the Corporation's results of
operations since July 1, 1997.  Tangible net income which excludes amortization
of intangible assets related to purchase business combinations for the nine
months and quarter ended September 30, 1997 totaled $139.8 million and $67.1
million , respectively, compared to $99.3 million and $35.4 million for the nine
months and quarter ended September 30, 1996.  Return on average tangible assets
and return on average tangible total equity which exclude intangible assets and
amortization related to purchase business combinations were 1.47% and 17.01%,
respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 compared to 1.28% and
11.53% for the nine months ended September 30, 1996.

   The Dauphin acquisition provided the opportunity for the Corporation to 
create a new company, instead of simply combining two existing organizations. In
order to create the new company, the Corporation embarked on an extensive 
review of its operations and businesses with a focus on strategies and tactics
for formulating the products, services and delivery channels, as well as the
optimum organizational structure. Upon completing this review, the Corporation
will implement the recommendations that result in best practices for each
customer segment. The process is also expected to stimulate new initiatives and
innovations as well as result in consolidations or curtailments of certain
business activities. As a result of this process, the Corporation expects to
record a pretax merger-related charge of approximately $15-$20 million in the
fourth quarter of 1997 in addition to those costs which are recorded as a
component of the goodwill related to the acquisition.

   On August 8, 1997, the Corporation sold its $360 million Bell Atlantic
bankcard loan portfolio to Chase Manhattan Corporation which resulted in an
after-tax gain on the sale of $17.4 million.  Excluding this gain, net income
for the nine months and quarter ended September 30, 1997 was $106.0 million and
$36.1 million, respectively, compared to $96.3 million and $33.7 million for the
nine months and quarter ended September 30, 1996.  Excluding this gain, return
on average assets and return on average total equity were 1.08% and 9.56%,
respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 compared to 1.24% and
10.75% for the nine months ended September 30, 1996.

-------------------------
(1)  Interest on loans to and obligations of public entities is not subject to
     Federal income tax. In order to make pre-tax yields comparable to taxable
     loans and investments, a tax equivalent adjustment is used based on a 35%
     Federal tax rate.
(2)  Yields on investment securities available-for-sale are calculated based
     upon average amortized cost.
(3)  Nonaccrual loans are included under the appropriate loan categories as
     earning assets.
(4)  Net interest spread is the difference between the yield on average earning
     assets and the rate paid on average interest bearing liabilities.
(5)  Net interest margin is the ratio of net interest income on a fully tax-
     equivalent basis to average earning assets.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS-(CONTINUED)


   The Corporation's noninterest income for the third quarter of 1997 excluding
Dauphin increased $31.9 million (55.6%)  when compared to the third quarter of
1996.  The sale of the Bell Atlantic bankcard loan portfolio in August 1997
resulted in a $28.2 million gain.  Service charges on deposits increased $2.5
million (12.1%) due to an increase in retail deposit and business checking
service charges.  Mortgage banking income decreased $4.9 million (44.6%)
primarily due to a $5.8 million gain on the sale of servicing in the third
quarter of 1996 which resulted from the Corporation's decision to exit the
mortgage servicing business.  Trust and investment advisory fees increased $1.7
million (22.1%) as a result of increases in investment management and advisory
fees and personal services fees.  Servicing income increased $1.1 million
(14.7%) primarily due to an increase in securitized bankcard loan yields which
was partially offset by unfavorable loss experience on the securitized bankcard
loans.  Credit card income increased $1.7 million (84.6%) as a result of a
decline in the rewards paid to customers on cobranded bankcard loans due to the
sale of the Bell Atlantic bankcard loan portfolio.  Securities losses of $229
thousand were recorded in the third quarter of 1997 compared to securities
losses of $126 thousand in the third quarter of 1996.  Securities sales are
discussed in detail under "Changes in Financial Position."  Trading income
increased $692 thousand (56.1%) due to increased securities trading income.
Other income increased $835 thousand (16.9%).

OF OPERATIONS-(CONTINUED)


   The Corporation's noninterest income for the first nine months of 1997
excluding Dauphin increased $46.6 million (29.1%) when compared to the first
nine months of 1996.  As noted above, the sale of the Bell Atlantic bankcard
loan portfolio resulted in a gain of $28.2 million.  Service charges on deposits
increased $7.6 million (12.9%) due to increases in retail deposit and business
checking service charges.  Mortgage banking income decreased $3.9 million
(17.1%) primarily due to $9.4 million in gains on the sale of servicing in 1996
which resulted from the Corporation's decision to exit the mortgage servicing
business which was partially offset by a $5.7 million increase in gains on the
sale of mortgages. Trust and investment advisory fees increased $5.0 million
(24.1%) as a result of increases in investment management and advisory fees,
custody fees and personal services fees.  Zirkin-Cutler, acquired in July 1996,
generated $2.4 million in investment advisory fees in the first nine months of
1997.  Servicing income increased $1.3 million (6.6%) as a result of a $15.3
million positive impact of the 1996 bankcard securitization offset by
unfavorable loss experience on securitized loans during 1997.  Credit card
income increased $693 thousand (8.4%) due a higher level of credit card fee
income during 1997 which was partially offset by the bankcard securitization
which shifted $3.7 million in credit card fee income to servicing income.
Securities gains of $279 thousand were recorded in the first nine months of 1997
compared to securities gains of $175 thousand in the first nine months of 1996.
Securities sales are discussed in detail under "Changes in Financial Position."
Trading income increased $1.1 million (31.5%) due to increased securities
trading income during 1997.  Other income increased $6.0 million (36.0%) as
result of a $5.5 million gain on the sale of the Corporation's investment in an
ATM and point-of-sale network system recorded in the first quarter of 1997.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS-(CONTINUED)


   The Corporation's noninterest expenses for the third quarter of 1997
excluding Dauphin increased $4.5 million (4.3%) when compared to the third
quarter of 1996.  Salaries and wages increased $4.4 million (9.3%) primarily due
to increased employee incentives and commissions.  Other personnel costs
increased $1.1 million (11.2%) as a result of an increase in employee retirement
costs resulting from a year-to-date change in actuarial assumptions in the third
quarter of 1996 which was partially offset by executive retirement costs
recorded in the third quarter of 1996.  Occupancy costs decreased $676 thousand
(7.9%).  External services decreased $801 thousand (11.6%) as a result of lower
servicing costs due to the Bell Atlantic bankcard portfolio sale.  Lending and
collection costs increased $506 thousand (34.9%) due to higher legal fees
related to collections and outside repossession expense in 1997.

*  Amounts excluding Dauphin

   The Corporation's noninterest expenses for the first nine months of 1997
excluding Dauphin increased $7.1 million (2.4%) when compared to the first nine
months of 1996. Salaries and wages increased $11.1 million (8.3%) primarily due
to the 1st Washington and Zirkin-Cutler acquisitions in July 1996 and increased
employee incentives and commissions. Other personnel costs decreased $1.2
million (3.4%) as a result of a decline in employee retirement costs due to
executive retirement costs recorded in 1996. This decline was partially offset
by an increase in payroll taxes. Intangible assets amortization expense
increased $845 thousand (14.0%) due to amortization expense related to the 1st
Washington and Zirkin-Cutler acquisitions in the third quarter of 1996.
Equipment costs increased $625 thousand (2.6%) as a result of higher
depreciation expense. External services increased $2.0 million (10.7%) due to
higher servicing costs during 1997 associated with the bankcard loan portfolio
and processing costs associated with a government automated tax payment program.
Regulatory insurance and fees declined $1.1 million (37.0%) due to a $1.2
million Savings Association Insurance Fund special assessment on the
Corporation's OAKAR deposits recorded in 1996.

INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO

   Investment securities available-for-sale increased $1.8 billion from December
31, 1996 to September 30, 1997.  The acquisition of Dauphin resulted in an
additional $2.2 billion in investment securities available-for-sale which
included a fair value adjustment of $12.8 million on the date of acquisition.
Purchases in the first nine months of 1997 totaled $2.1 billion and included the
following:  $730.5 million in U.S. Treasury and U.S. Government Agencies
securities; $728.9 million in mortgage-backed obligations ("MBS's"); $476.6
million in collateralized mortgage obligations ("CMO's") and asset-backed
securities; $6.2 million in obligations of state and political subdivisions; and
$164.2 million in other debt and equity securities.  These purchases were
partially offset by sales of investment securities.  In the first quarter of
1997, the Corporation sold $177.0 million in investment securities which
resulted in net gains of $453 thousand.  In the second quarter of 1997, the
Corporation sold $212.0 million in investment securities which resulted in net
gains of $55 thousand.  In the third quarter of 1997, the Corporation sold $1.5
billion in investment securities which resulted in net losses of $230 thousand.
Paydowns, maturities and calls in the available-for-sale portfolio in the first
nine months of 1997 totaled $619.2 million.  The fair value of the available-
for-sale portfolio at September 30, 1997 was $36.1 million above the amortized
cost compared to a fair value at December 31, 1996 which was $14.0 million above
the amortized cost.  This change in the fair value resulted in a $14.6 million
net adjustment to the unrealized gains (losses) on available-for-sale securities
which is included as a component of stockholders' equity.  Table 12 provides a
summary of the gross unrealized gains and losses of the available-for-sale
portfolio at September 30, 1997.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS-(CONTINUED)


LOAN PORTFOLIO

   Total loans, net of unearned income increased from $6.8 billion at December
31, 1996 to $9.9 billion at September 30, 1997.  The $3.1 billion (45.3%)
increase was primarily due to the acquisition of Dauphin on July 8, 1997 which
included $3.3 billion in loan outstandings.  Excluding the impact of Dauphin,
total loans decreased $173 million (2.5%) since December 31, 1996.

   On August 8, 1997, the sale of the $360 million Bell Atlantic bankcard
portfolio was completed.  Excluding the impact of both the bankcard sale and the
Dauphin acquisition, total loans increased $182.2 million (2.7%) since December
31, 1996.
 
   Commercial loans increased $1.1 billion (63.3%) from December 31, 1996 to
September 30, 1997.  Approximately $945 million of the growth was due to the
Dauphin acquisition.  Month-end balances can reflect some large fluctuations due
to the transactional nature of large corporate customers that borrow for short
periods of time under revolving facilities.  Specialized lending sectors such as
Communications and Healthcare offered favorable financing opportunities for the
Corporation.

   Commercial real estate loans, which include both construction and commercial
mortgages, increased $774.9 million (53.3%) from December 31, 1996 to September
30, 1997.  The Dauphin acquisition resulted in approximately $879 million in
commercial real estate loans.  Excluding the impact of Dauphin, commercial real
estate loans declined $103.8 million (7.1%) since December 31, 1996.  The
commercial real estate portfolio continues to be well-balanced by property type
and geographically centered in the Corporation's regional marketplace as
reflected in Tables 14 and 15.

   Residential mortgages increased $212.6 million (25.5%) from December 31, 1996
to September 30, 1997.  Excluding the Dauphin impact of approximately $242
million, residential loans declined $29.0 million (3.5%) since December 31,
1996.  The Corporation originates residential mortgages primarily for sale in
the secondary market.  New originations retained for the Corporation's permanent
residential mortgage portfolio principally consist of low income housing and
adjustable rate products.

   Retail loans increased $1.1 billion (81.8%) from December 31, 1996 to
September 30, 1997, including approximately $904 million from the Dauphin
acquisition.  Excluding the impact of the acquisition, retail outstandings
increased $225.5 million (16.3%).  Retail loan growth resulted primarily from
major marketing campaigns for home equity credit products and other consumer
loan products.

   Bankcard loan outstandings decreased $454.0 million (76.1%) since December
31, 1996.  Excluding the impact of the August 1997 bankcard sale of $355.2
million in bankcard loans and the $49.7 million in bankcard loans acquired from
Dauphin, bankcard outstandings decreased $148.4 million (24.9%) since December
31, 1996 primarily due to increased competition and a reduction in the
Corporation's solicitation efforts.

   Leases receivable increased $292.4 million (66.8%) since December 31, 1996.
Commercial leases, which represent 60% of total lease outstandings, increased
$45.3 million primarily with borrowers in the transportation industry.  The
$247.1 million increase in retail leases primarily resulted from an additional
$234.0 million in retail leases from the Dauphin acquisition.

   Foreign loans increased $28.6 million (7.8%) from December 31, 1996 to
September 30, 1997.  The growth occurred primarily with customers in the
shipping industry.

   The Corporation monitors exposure based on industry classifications and
established limits that are reviewed by the Board of Directors.  Significant
exposures by industry classification in the loan portfolio are presented in
Table 13.

ASSET QUALITY

NONPERFORMING ASSETS

   Nonperforming assets totaled $89.7 million at September 30, 1997, an increase
of $30.8 million (52.2%) when compared to $58.9 million in nonperforming assets
at December 31, 1996.  The acquisition of Dauphin resulted in an additional
$15.9 million in nonperforming assets which included $7.7 million in nonaccrual
loans, $4.7 million in restructured loans, $3.5 million in other real estate
owned ("OREO") and other assets owned.  In addition to Dauphin, there were $52.0
million in additions to nonperforming assets primarily due to the transfer of
loans to nonaccrual status.  These increases were partially offset by the
following declines in nonperforming assets:  paydowns of $19.3 million; loans
reclassified to accrual status of $8.9 million; OREO sales and paydowns of $7.0
million; and charge-offs of $1.9 million.  The nonaccrual loan paydowns were
cash payments on a variety of commercial and real estate loans.  Loans
reclassified to accrual status were commercial and real estate loans which met
the regulatory tests for return to accrual status.  The most significant OREO
sales totaled $4.4 million for three commercial real estate properties which
resulted in gains of $242 thousand.  The most significant charge-off was a $1.0
million commercial loan charge-off.

   The following table presents nonperforming assets and accruing loans which
are 90 days or more past due as to principal or interest payments on the dates
indicated.

(1) $43.4 million represents the allowance for loans from the Dauphin
    acquisition and the $10.6 million represents the allowance for loans from
    the 1st Washington acquisition.

(2) $21 million represents the allowance attributable to the Bell Atlantic
    bankcard loan portfolio which was included as a component of the gain on
    the sale of bankcard loans.

   The Corporation's bankcard loan portfolio, like the portfolios of most other
credit card issuers, has experienced higher charge-off rates as a result of
higher-than-anticipated levels of personal bankruptcies and the general
expansion of unsecured consumer credit.  The Corporation's ratio of bankcard
loan net charge-offs to average loans, net of average unearned income
(annualized) for the third quarter of 1997 increased over the second quarter of
1997 and the third quarter of 1996 ratios.  The Corporation continues to monitor
trends in the bankcard loan portfolio and is managing credit line usage and
underwriting standards in a more aggressive manner.

DEPOSITS

   Total deposits increased $4.4 billion from December 31, 1996 to September 30,
1997.  This increase included a $3.5 billion increase in core deposits and an
$834.2 million increase in purchased deposits (large denomination time deposits
and foreign time deposits).  The Dauphin acquisition resulted in $4.2 billion in
additional deposits on the date of acquisition which included approximately $3.6
billion in core deposits and $630 million in large denomination time deposits.
Dauphin's core deposits consisted of $500 million in noninterest bearing demand
deposits and $3.1 billion in interest bearing deposits.  The $3.1 billion in
interest bearing deposits included a $68 million fair value premium adjustment
to Dauphin's certificates of deposit recorded by the Corporation on the date of
acquisition which will be amortized into interest expense over a period ranging
from 7 to 10 years.

   Total deposits increased $4.4 billion from September 30, 1996 to September
30, 1997.  Core deposits increased $3.5 billion and purchased deposits increased
$818.4 million.  As noted above, the Dauphin acquisition resulted in $4.2
billion in additional deposits on the date of acquisition which included $3.6
billion in core deposits and $630 million in purchased deposits.

(1)  Not included as Tier 1 capital under current regulatory guidelines.
(2)  The amount of the allowance for credit losses which is includable as Tier 2
     capital is limited to 1.25% of the risk-adjusted assets less disallowed 
     intangibles.

   Tier 1 capital decreased $145.1 million when September 30, 1997 is compared
to December 31, 1996 and total capital increased $87.8 million during this same
period.  Tier 1 and total capital were negatively impacted by an additional
$869.3 million in disallowed goodwill and other intangible assets resulting from
the Dauphin acquisition. The following items had a positive impact on both tier
1 capital and total capital: the issuance of $505.2 million of common stock to
the Corporation's parent, AIB, in July 1997; the issuance of an additional
$148.3 million in guaranteed preferred beneficial interests in Company's junior
subordinated debentures in February 1997 to fund the Dauphin acquisition; and
net income of $123.5 million which was partially offset by $44.0 million and
$9.2 million in dividends declared on common stock and preferred stock,
respectively. In addition, total capital was positively impacted by the issuance
of $200 million in subordinated debt in July 1997 to fund the Dauphin
acquisition which qualifies as Tier 2 capital.

   Tier 1 and total capital increased $42.6 million and $272.6 million,
respectively when September 30, 1997 is compared to September 30, 1996.  The
following items had a positive impact on both tier 1 and total capital during
this period: additional common stock of $505.2 million; $295.4 million in
guaranteed preferred beneficial interests in Company's junior subordinated
debentures issued in December 1996 and February 1997; and net income of $159.5
million which was partially offset by $56.2 million in dividends declared on
common stock and preferred stock. Tier 1 and total capital were negatively
impacted by an additional $869.3 million in disallowed goodwill and other
intangible assets from the Dauphin acquisition. Tier 2 capital was positively
impacted by the $200 million in subordinated debt. Additional information
regarding the Corporation's capital is presented in the Consolidated Statements

TRADING INSTRUMENTS

   The Corporation maintains active trading positions in a variety of financial
derivatives including foreign exchange and interest rate futures, interest rate
swaps, interest rate caps and floors, forward rate agreements, and interest rate
and foreign exchange options.  Many of these positions are a result of activity
generated by corporate customers.  The balance of the positions represent
strategic trading decisions of the Corporation's derivative and foreign exchange
traders.  The managers and traders involved in financial derivatives have the
technical expertise to trade these products effectively.  The active involvement
of the Corporation's traders in these markets allows the Corporation to offer
competitive pricing to customers and the expertise necessary to advise the
Corporation's asset/liability managers on the proper timing and execution of
hedging strategies for the Corporation's balance sheet.

   All trading activity is conducted within the risk limits approved by the
Corporation's Board of Directors.  Trading systems are in place which measure
risks and profitability associated with derivative trading positions as market
movements occur.  An independent risk control unit monitors the risks.  The
results are reported daily and reviewed by the Corporation's Asset/Liability
Committee and the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors on a monthly
basis.

   The following table presents the notional amounts and the end-of-period fair
values of the classes of trading instruments at September 30, 1997 as well as

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS-(CONTINUED)



   RISK MANAGEMENT INSTRUMENTS

   Derivative financial instruments are an integral part of the Corporation's
risk management process.  Derivatives allow the Corporation to modify the
repricing or maturity characteristics of assets and liabilities in a cost-
efficient manner.  This flexibility helps the Corporation to achieve liquidity,
capital, and interest rate risk objectives.  The Corporation uses a combination
of derivatives, particularly interest rate swaps,  interest rate caps and
floors, and options.  The appropriateness of entering into derivative
instruments for risk management purposes is a function of the current or desired
interest rate sensitivity of the Corporation and is limited by interest rate
risk policies approved by the Corporation's Board of Directors.
 
   Derivatives fluctuate in value as interest rates rise or fall just as on-
balance sheet assets and liabilities fluctuate in value.  Derivatives are used
to modify the characteristics of assets or liabilities to which they are
designated as well as to provide basis risk protection.

   For example, the Corporation utilizes interest rate swaps to convert fixed
rate assets to floating rate assets or vice versa.  When the Corporation uses
swaps to match/fund fixed rate term loans to customers, the Corporation is
converting the fixed rate loans to floating rate loans that better match the
floating rate deposits received from core customers.

   Interest rate swaps also are used to convert floating rate liabilities to
fixed rate liabilities or vice versa.  Interest rate swaps designated to certain
liabilities are used to extend the period over which the Corporation's short-
term deposits reprice thus locking in fixed rates.  This offers protection
against liabilities repricing faster than assets during periods of rising
interest rates.  Interest rate swaps sold as liability hedges are used to adjust
fixed rate long-term deposits to floating rate deposits.  The Corporation
receives a fixed rate on this type of swap that offsets the fixed rate paid on
the term deposits thus converting the deposits to a floating rate.  By issuing
long-term deposits, the Corporation increases its overall liquidity.  Customer
demand for long-term deposits is primarily fixed rate.  Interest rate swaps
allow the Corporation to swap fixed rate liabilities for floating rate
liabilities when appropriate for interest rate sensitivity purposes.

   The Corporation also utilizes interest rate swaps to extend the period over
which floating rate assets (e.g. prime rate loans) reprice thus locking in a
fixed rate.  This strategy is used to reduce the asset sensitivity of the
balance sheet or to better match maturities of assets or liabilities. Basis
swaps are sometimes utilized to protect the interest rate spread between assets
and liabilities that are repriced based on different indexes.  Prime rate loans
are often funded by liabilities that reset off of a CD index, treasury index, or
LIBOR.  Basis swaps lock in the spread between different indexes during the life
of the swaps.  These swaps transfer the basis risk to third parties willing to
assume the risk and allow the Corporation to lock in interest rate spreads
between certain assets and liabilities.

   The Corporation also utilizes mandatory and optional commitments to deliver
residential securitized mortgages and whole residential mortgage loans to reduce
the interest rate risk inherent in residential mortgage loans held-for-sale and
the commitments made to borrowers for residential mortgage loans which have not
been funded.  At September 30, 1997, these commitments totaled $532.3 million.

   Deferred losses on the early termination of interest rate swaps with notional
balances of $200.0 million designated to the Corporation's prime based
commercial loans were $1.7 million at September 30, 1997.  In the remainder of
1997 and 1998, $858 thousand and $858 thousand, respectively, will be amortized
into income.

   The deferred gain on the early termination of an interest rate swap with a
notional balance of $100.0 million designated to the Corporation's federal funds
purchased was $82 thousand at September 30, 1997. In the remainder of 1997 and
1998, $25 thousand and $57 thousand, respectively, will be amortized into
income.

   For the nine months ended September 30,1997, the risk management instruments
entered into by the Corporation had the following impact on the components of
net interest income:  gross interest income decreased $2.4 million and gross
interest expense decreased $3.2 million, which resulted in a $753 thousand
increase in net interest income.
