(1) Provision for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 excludes a
    tax accrual of $13.9 million related to a retroactive tax law
    change by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts disallowing a 95%
    dividends received deduction on dividends that Investors Bank &
    Trust Company received from its wholly-owned real estate
    investment trust and excludes the subsequent reversal of $6.7
    million of the provision, net of federal taxes, due to the
    settlement of the related tax dispute with the Commonwealth of
    Massachusetts Department of Revenue. The effect of the exclusions
    is an increase in net income of $0.11 per diluted and basic share.
