ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS.
Release of First Quarter Earnings. On April 15, 1996, the Registrant
---------------------------------
announced financial results for the first quarter of fiscal 1996, reporting
operating net income of $590 million and operating earnings per common
share of $1.95 before a merger-related charge. As a result of the merger-
related, after-tax charge of $77 million, reported net income and earnings
per common share were $513 million and $1.70, respectively, in the first
quarter of fiscal 1996. Included in operating earnings for the first
quarter of fiscal 1996 is a $40 million pre-tax charge recorded by
NationsBank, N.A., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Registrant, reflecting
the estimated loss associated with fraudulent commercial loan transactions.
This charge is reflected in noninterest expense. Total outstandings
associated with the transactions approximate $61 million, and management
currently anticipates that no additional charges will be incurred in
connection with such transactions.
A copy of the press release announcing the results of the Registrant's
fiscal quarter ended March 31, 1996 is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this
Current Report on Form 8-K.
