MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OVERVIEW DISCUSSION
EARNINGS SUMMARY > First Bank System, Inc. (the "Company") reported first
quarter 1994 earnings of $98.5 million, an increase of $21.0 million, or 27.1
percent, from the first quarter of 1993. On a per share basis, earnings were
$.84 in the first quarter of 1994, compared with earnings of $.61 in the
first quarter of 1993, an increase of 37.7 percent.
Return on average assets increased to 1.59 percent in the first quarter of
1994 from 1.25 percent in the first quarter of 1993, and return on average
common equity increased to 18.8 percent from 14.7 percent over the same
period. Net interest margin on a taxable-equivalent basis strengthened 12
basis points from the first quarter of 1993, to 5.19 percent. The efficiency
ratio, the ratio of expenses to revenues, was 58.0 percent, an improvement of
345 basis points from 61.4 percent in the first quarter of 1993.
Compared to the first quarter of 1993, the strong improvement in net income
resulted from an increase in net interest income on a taxable-equivalent
basis of $6.8 million, or 2.4 percent, an increase in noninterest income of
$10.6 million, or 7.5 percent, a reduction in the provision for credit losses
of $14.1 million, or 37.0 percent, and a decrease in noninterest expense of
$4.2 million, or 1.6 percent.
Nonperforming assets declined $156.7 million, or 41.9 percent, from March 31,
1993, and $8.3 million from December 31, 1993, to a level of $217.7 million
at March 31, 1994, despite the addition of $29.3 million in nonperforming
assets through the acquisition of Boulevard Bancorp, Inc. The ratio of the
allowance for credit losses to nonperforming loans at quarter-end was 293
percent, compared with 269 percent at year-end 1993 and 186 percent at the
end of the first quarter last year.
Earnings per share in the first quarter of 1994 reflect the impact of the
repurchase of 4.0 million average common shares, as discussed in "Recent
Developments" below. Without the effect of the share repurchases during the
first quarter of 1994, earnings per share would have been $.82, and return on
average common equity would have been 17.8 percent.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS > On March 25, 1994, the Company completed the previously
announced acquisition of Boulevard Bancorp, Inc. (Boulevard) of Chicago, a
commercial bank holding company with $1.6 billion in assets, $1.2 billion in
deposits, and $114 million in shareholders' equity. Approximately 6.2 million
shares of the common stock of the Company were exchanged for all of the
outstanding common stock of Boulevard. The transaction was accounted for
using the purchase method of accounting, and therefore, had no significant
effect on first quarter earnings. For further information, see Note C of
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
On February 28, 1994, the Company completed the acquisition of American
Bancshares of Mankato, a $116 million bank holding company. This acquisition
was not material to the Company's financial position or operating results.
Additionally, the Company has signed agreements to acquire three institutions
in markets in which the Company has an existing presence, serving to
strengthen the Company's retail banking market shares in these communities.
First Financial Investors, Inc., with approximately $200 million in assets,
is the holding company for St. Louis Bank for Savings, FSB, located in
Duluth, Minnesota. United Bank of Bismarck, with approximately $123 million
in assets is located in Bismarck, North Dakota. Green Mountain
Bancorporation, Inc., the holding company for Green Mountain Bank, located in
Lakewood, Colorado, has approximately $32 million in assets. The First
Financial Investors, Inc. transaction closed on April 29, 1994, while the
United Bank of Bismarck and Green Mountain Bancorporation, Inc. acquisitions
are expected to close in the third quarter of 1994.
Finally, in January 1994, the Company announced that it had signed an
agreement to acquire the domestic corporate trust business of J. P. Morgan &
Co., Incorporated. This business unit provides trust services for
approximately 650 clients with 3,800 bond issues in the areas of municipal,
revenue, housing and corporate bond indenture trusteeships. The transaction
is expected to close in the third quarter of 1994.
During the quarter, the Company was awarded two significant credit card
contracts. On January 26, 1994, the Company was selected by Northwest
Airlines to be its bank credit card marketing partner in the First Bank
System/Northwest Airlines WorldPerks credit card program. By the end of the
first quarter of 1994, the Company had opened well over 100,000 WorldPerks
customer accounts. In February, the Company's contract with the U. S. General
Services Administration was expanded to provide Visa Procurement Cards to
tens of thousands of authorized government employees for use in making small
purchases.
The Company's strong capital position has enabled it to pursue several stock
repurchases. On January 19, 1994, the Board of Directors authorized the
redemption of $159.3 million of the Company's preferred stock, consisting of
$89 million of Preferred Stock Series 1989A and $70.3 million of Preferred
Stock Series 1989B. These redemptions are reflected in the March 31, 1994,
capital ratios. During 1993, the Company redeemed its $100 million Series
1983A Adjustable Rate Cumulative Preferred Stock and, as of March 31, 1994,
had repurchased $16.1 million of Preferred Stock Series 1991A and 1989B. The
Company is authorized to repurchase up to an additional $8.9 million of
preferred stock.
During 1993, the Company also announced plans to repurchase approximately
$275 million of its common stock, including all of the shares issued in the
acquisition of Boulevard. At March 31, 1994, a total of 6.6 million shares of
common stock with a cost of $202 million had been repurchased.
LINE OF BUSINESS FINANCIAL REVIEW > Each of the Company's three business
lines--Retail and Community Banking, Commercial Banking, and the Trust and
Investment Group--contributed to the strong financial performance in the
first quarter of 1994. Compared to the first quarter of 1993 results, all
achieved earnings increases of more than 25 percent.
Business line results are derived from the Company's business unit
profitability reporting system which specifically attributes most assets,
deposits and income statement items to a business line. The Company's
internal Funds Transfer Pricing system allocates a standard cost of funds
used or credit for funds provided to all assets and liabilities using a
matched funding concept. Expenses which directly support business line
operations are allocated based on a standard unit cost and actual volume
measurements. Expenses which indirectly support the business line operations
as well as those which primarily support the holding company are allocated
based on the ratio of the business line's noninterest expense to total
noninterest expense. Income taxes have been calculated based upon the
Company's consolidated effective tax rate.
Capital is allocated within the business unit profitability system based upon
credit, operational and business risks. The asset and liability components of
the balance sheet are assigned risk factors ranging from .50 percent for
deposits to 100 percent for goodwill. Asset components subject to credit risk
are assigned risk factors based upon historic loss experience after taking
into consideration changes in business practice which may introduce more or
less risk into the portfolio. Certain lines of business, such as the Trust
and Investment Group, which have no significant balance sheet components, are
assigned capital after taking into consideration operational risk, capital
levels of independent organizations operating similar businesses and
regulatory minimums. Designations, assignments, and allocations may change
from time to time as management accounting systems are enhanced or product
lines change. During 1994 certain methodologies were changed, and
accordingly, results for 1993 are presented on a consistent basis.

RETAIL AND COMMUNITY BANKING > Retail and Community Banking, which includes
consumer, small business and middle market banking services, residential
mortgage lending, and consumer and corporate credit card and payment systems
processing, achieved strong revenue growth while containing costs. Net income
increased 27.3 percent to $60.1 million in the first quarter of 1994,
compared with the first quarter of 1993. Return on assets increased to 1.39
percent from 1.07 percent and return on equity increased to 18.2 percent from
14.5 percent.
Net interest income increased $3.3 million, or 1.5 percent, from first
quarter 1993 while fee-based noninterest income increased $6.7 million, or
8.2 percent. The increases are attributable to strong home equity loan
promotions, aggressive small and middle market business lending, and growth
in the mutual funds and Corporate Card products. Compared with the first
quarter of 1993, the provision for credit losses decreased $6.8 million, or
23.5 percent, to $22.1 million in the first quarter of 1994, reflecting
improved credit quality.
Noninterest expense was $193.0 million in the first quarter of 1994, a
decrease of $5.2 million, or 2.6 percent, from $198.2 million in the same
quarter a year ago. The efficiency ratio improved to 61.8 percent in the
first quarter of 1994 from 65.5 percent in the first quarter of 1993.
COMMERCIAL BANKING > Commercial Banking, which provides lending, cash
management, and other financial services to middle market, large corporate
and mortgage banking companies, contributed net earnings of $27.9 million in
the first quarter of 1994, a 25.7 percent increase over the first quarter of
1993. Return on assets rose to 1.69 percent in the first quarter of 1994 from
1.40 percent in the same quarter a year ago. Similarly, return on equity
increased to 24.1 percent in 1994 from 20.1 percent a year ago.
page 4
Net interest income increased to $55.1 million in the first quarter of 1994
from $51.6 million in the first quarter of 1993, while noninterest income
increased 5.4 percent to $15.5 million in 1994, reflecting increased secured
credit financings to mortgage banking firms accompanied by increases in
noninterest-bearing deposits. The provision for credit losses declined 79.3
percent to $1.9 million from $9.2 million in the first quarter of 1993,
reflecting improved credit quality.
Noninterest expense increased to $23.6 million in the first quarter of 1994
from $21.6 million in the same quarter of 1993, and the efficiency ratio
increased slightly to 33.4 percent in the first quarter of 1994 from 32.6
percent in the first quarter of 1993.
TRUST AND INVESTMENT GROUP > The Trust and Investment Group, which includes
corporate, personal and institutional trust services, investment management
services, and a full-service brokerage company, reported net income of $10.5
million in the first quarter of 1994, a 29.6 percent increase over the first
quarter of 1993. The return on average equity improved to 21.4 percent in the
first quarter of 1994 from 19.6 percent in the same period in 1993. Much of
the gain resulted from stronger noninterest income, which was $47.4 million
for the quarter, up 7.0 percent over 1993. The increase in noninterest income
was partially due to the March 1993 acquisition of the corporate trust
business of two U. S. Bancorp subsidiaries in Oregon and Washington. Net
interest income remained constant at $6.4 million in the first quarters of
1994 and 1993.
Noninterest expense decreased to $36.7 million in the first quarter of 1994
from $37.7 million in the first quarter of 1993, while the efficiency ratio
improved to 68.2 percent in 1994 from 74.3 percent in 1993.
CAPITAL AND SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY > The ratio of common equity to assets
increased 51 basis points from a year ago to 8.2 percent at March 31, 1994,
primarily due to earnings retention. Total equity to assets was 8.6 percent
at March 31, 1994, up from 8.5 percent at December 31, 1993, and down from
9.2 percent at March 31, 1993. The decrease from a year ago was a result of
the repurchase and redemption of $272.6 million of preferred stock, as
previously discussed.
Risk-based capital ratios, which take into account the different credit risks
of various assets, reflect the Company's capital strength. Tier 1 and total
risk-based capital ratios were 8.4 percent and 12.3 percent on March 31,
1994, compared with 9.8 percent and 12.9 percent at March 31, 1993,
respectively. The leverage ratio, the measure of Tier 1 capital to total
quarterly average assets, was also down to 7.6 percent from 8.2 percent a
year ago. The decrease in the ratios from the prior year was due to the
previously discussed preferred and common stock repurchases.
Common equity per share at March 31, 1994 was $18.84, compared with $18.09 at
December 31, 1993, and $17.29 at March 31, 1993.

NET INTEREST INCOME > Net interest income on a taxable-equivalent basis was
$285.0 million in the first quarter of 1994, an increase of $6.8 million, or
2.4 percent, from the first quarter of 1993. The improvement in net interest
income reflects increases in average loans and noninterest-bearing deposits.
Average loans totaled $18.0 billion in the first quarter of 1994, an increase
of $1.3 billion, or 8.1 percent, from $16.7 billion in the first quarter of
1993. Noninterest-bearing deposits averaged $6.4 billion in the first quarter
of 1994, up from $5.3 billion in the first quarter of 1993. Approximately
one-half of the increase in average loans and three-quarters of the increase
in noninterest-bearing deposits during the first quarter, as compared with
the same period in 1993, were attributable to cyclical activity in the
Company's portfolio of secured loans to mortgage banking firms and related
escrow balances. Total noninterest-bearing deposits at March 31, 1994, were
lower than at the end of 1993 because of seasonal factors that typically
increase deposit balances at year-end. Net interest income growth was also
aided by the decline in nonperforming assets.
page 5
The net interest margin on a taxable-equivalent basis was 5.19 percent in the
first quarter of 1994, an increase of 12 basis points from 5.07 percent in
the first quarter of 1993. The increase in the net interest margin from a
year ago results primarily from decreased funding costs.

PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES > The provision for credit losses was $24.0 million
in the first quarter of 1994, down $14.1 million from the level in the first
quarter of 1993. Net charge-offs totaled $25.6 million in the first quarter
of 1994, down from $42.8 million in the same quarter a year ago. Commercial
loan net charge-offs for the quarter were lower by $17.7 million, or 78.0
percent, from the same quarter of the prior year, while consumer loan net
charge-offs were essentially unchanged.
The allowance for credit losses was $442.5 million at March 31, 1994, down
slightly from $443.3 million at March 31, 1993, and up from $423.2 million at
December 31, 1993. The increase from year-end includes the addition of $20.2
million of allowance from the Boulevard acquisition. Reserve coverage
remained strong as the allowance for credit losses to nonperforming loans
ratio increased to 293 percent at quarter-end, compared with 269 percent at
the end of 1993, and 186 percent at the end of the first quarter a year ago.
NONINTEREST INCOME > Noninterest income in the first quarter of 1994 was $151.8
million, an increase of $10.6 million, or 7.5 percent, from the first quarter
last year. Trust fees and credit card fees increased $10.5 million, or 16.4
percent, from the prior year quarter. Most of the increase occurred in credit
card fees, reflecting higher sales volume for Corporate Card, Procurement
Card, and merchant card processing. Trust fees for the quarter were up from
the first quarter of 1993 level as a result of increased corporate trust fee
revenue.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE > Noninterest expense was $253.3 million in the first
quarter of 1994, a decrease of $4.2 million, or 1.6 percent, from first
quarter of 1993. The decrease in expenses reflects the benefits of
integrating recent acquisitions, partially offset by higher advertising and
contract labor expenses. The Company's efficiency ratio, the measure of
expenses to revenues, improved to 58.0 percent for the quarter from 61.4
percent a year ago.
Total salaries and benefits expense for the first quarter of 1994 decreased
by $6.4 million, or 5.1 percent, from the first quarter of 1993. Average
full-time equivalent employees decreased by 7.2 percent, to 11,815 in the
first quarter of 1994, from 12,735 in the first quarter of 1993. As compared
to the first quarter of 1993, net occupancy and equipment expense decreased
by $1.2 million, or 2.9 percent. Advertising expense increased $3.4 million,
or 72.3 percent, over the 1993 level, reflecting expanded marketing efforts
in the growing consumer asset businesses. Other personnel costs increased
$2.5 million, or 48.1 percent, primarily due to the increased use of
temporary labor related to system improvements and integrations. Professional
services expense decreased by $1.8 million, or 21.7 percent. Data processing
decreased $4.6 million, or 56.8 percent, primarily due to efficiencies
obtained through integrating recent acquisitions and the elimination of an
outside data processor previously used for a portion of the Company's item
processing.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES > The provision for income taxes was $57.3 million
in the first quarter of 1994, compared with $41.3 million in the first
quarter of 1993. The increase is primarily the result of a higher level of
taxable income.
At March 31, 1994, the Company's net deferred tax assets were $219.7 million,
compared with $160.0 million at December 31, 1993, and $212.8 million at
March 31, 1993. The recent acquisition of Boulevard Bancorp accounted for
most of the increase in deferred tax assets. Realization of these assets over
time is dependent upon the Company generating earnings in future periods. For
further information regarding income taxes, refer to Note H on page 20.
ACCOUNTING CHANGES > Effective December 31, 1993, the Company adopted the
provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. ("SFAS") 115,
"Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," and
reported its entire $3.3 billion of investment securities as
available-for-sale. SFAS 115 requires that investments in debt securities and
equity securities with readily determinable fair values be classified into
three categories which then establishes the accounting requirements. The
accounting to be followed for two of the categories, trading securities and
held-to-maturity securities, was essentially the same as prior practice. The
other category, available-for-sale securities, is accounted for at fair value
with unrealized holding gains or losses being reported in shareholders'
equity. At March 31, 1994, the Company's available-for-sale securities
portfolio was $4.3 billion, with an after-tax unrealized loss of $17.9
million recorded in shareholders' equity.
page 7
The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 112, "Employers' Accounting for
Postemployment Benefits," as of December 31, 1993. This Statement requires
accrual of costs associated with postemployment benefits (principally
disability-related benefits) provided to former or inactive employees after
employment but before retirement if certain conditions are met. The effect of
adopting SFAS 112 was not material.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued SFAS 114, "Accounting by
Creditors for Impairment of a Loan," which requires creditors to establish a
valuation allowance when it is probable that all the principal and interest
due under the contractual terms of a loan will not be collected. The
impairment is measured based on the present value of expected future cash
flows based on the effective interest rate of the loan, observable market
price or fair value of a collateral dependent loan. This differs from the
Company's current policy in that it requires establishing a valuation
allowance for uncollectible interest in addition to the principal amounts of
impaired loans. The adoption of this Statement is required for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 1994. The adoption of SFAS 114 is not expected
to have a material effect on the Company.
CREDIT MANAGEMENT > The Company's credit management process includes
centralized credit policy and administration functions and standardized
underwriting criteria for specialized lending categories, such as mortgage
banking, real estate construction, and consumer credit. The Company's credit
management process is supported by regular examinations conducted by the
credit administration function. Large loans and all loans experiencing
deterioration of credit quality are reviewed quarterly by management. A
standardized credit scoring system is used to assess consumer credit risks
and to price consumer products relative to their assigned risk rating.
In evaluating credit risk, the Company takes into consideration the
composition of its loan portfolio, its level of allowance coverage,
macroeconomic concerns such as the level of debt outstanding in the public
and private sectors, the effects of domestic and international economic
conditions and regional economic conditions, and other issues.
LOAN PORTFOLIO REVIEW > One of the ways the Company manages its credit risk is
by ensuring its loan portfolio is well diversified by industry
classification, size and type of loan. The Company's primary operating region
includes Minnesota, Colorado, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wisconsin,
and Illinois. Approximately 80 percent of the loan portfolio consists of
extensions of credit to customers in the Company's operating region. A
discussion of the Company's major loan categories follows.
COMMERCIAL > The Company's portfolio of commercial loans totaled $6.7 billion
at March 31, 1994, and comprised 36.8 percent of the portfolio. This level is
up from $6.2 billion at December 31, 1993, and $5.9 billion at March 31,
1993. As a percentage of the total portfolio, commercial loans totaled 32.9
percent at December 31, 1993, and 35.0 percent at March 31, 1993. The $537
million increase over December 31, 1993, and the $799 million increase over
the first quarter of the prior year reflect growth in small business and
middle market loans as well as the acquisition of Boulevard.
At March 31, 1994, commercial loans totaling $32.4 million were included in
nonperforming assets, down $9.8 million, or 23.2 percent, from December 31,
1993, and down $39.7 million, or 55.1 percent, from March 31, 1993. Net
charge-offs of commercial loans totaled $1.8 million in the first quarter of
1994, compared with net charge-offs of $5.1 million and $2.5 million in the
fourth quarter of 1993 and in the first quarter of 1993, respectively.

FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS > The portfolio of loans to financial institutions
totaled $1.4 billion at March 31, 1994, a decrease of $634 million from the
$2.0 billion balance at December 31, 1993. Compared to the March 31, 1993
balance, the portfolio is up $379 million. Both the decrease from year-end
and the increase from a year ago can be attributed to cyclical activity in
the Company's secured loans to mortgage banking firms. This portfolio
includes a $700 million low margin credit facility to one mortgage banking
customer with a term extending through the third quarter of 1994 under which
borrowings are fully secured by short-term U. S. Treasury securities.
There were no significant charge-offs or recoveries in the first quarter of
1994 or the fourth quarter of 1993. In the first quarter of 1993, net
charge-offs were $6.4 million, primarily related to one large loan, which was
fully recovered through repayment in the third quarter of 1993.
COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE LENDING > The commercial real estate mortgage and
construction loan portfolio totaled $1.9 billion at March 31, 1994, compared
with $1.7 billion at December 31, 1993, and March 31, 1993. The increase is
primarily due to the acquisition of Boulevard.
page 9
Commercial real estate loans included in nonperforming assets at the end of
the first quarter of 1994 increased to $46.4 million from $39.1 million at
the end of the fourth quarter of 1993 and declined from $68.3 million at the
end of the first quarter of 1993. Total commercial real estate exposure
(including other real estate-owned) on nonperforming status was $112.7
million at March 31, 1994, up from $106.5 million at December 31, 1993, and
down significantly from $201.4 million at March 31, 1993. The increases from
December 31, 1993, are primarily due to the acquisition of Boulevard. The
decline in total real estate exposure from March 31, 1993, was due to
reductions of $66.8 million in other real estate and $21.9 million in
nonperforming commercial real estate loans, reflecting sales of properties
and loan repayments.
HIGHLY LEVERAGED TRANSACTIONS > The Company's exposure to commercial loans
involving the buyout, recapitalization or acquisition of an existing
business, called highly leveraged transactions ("HLTs"), remained at
relatively low levels. At March 31, 1994, the Company had HLT outstandings
totaling $191 million and was committed under definitive agreements to lend
an additional amount of approximately $57 million. This exposure has
decreased 15.6 percent from March 31, 1993, when outstandings were $230
million and additional commitments were $64 million.
HLT outstandings totaling $16.1 million were included in nonperforming assets
at March 31, 1994, compared with $20.1 million at December 31, 1993, and
$56.7 million at March 31, 1993. The significant drop in nonperforming HLT
outstandings from first quarter of 1993 was due to the repayment of a $37.5
million loan in the third quarter of 1993. Net recoveries of HLT loans
totaled $.9 million in the first quarter of 1994 compared with charge-offs of
$3.7 million and $2.8 million in the fourth quarter of 1993 and the first
quarter of 1993, respectively.
page 10
CONSUMER LENDING > The consumer loan portfolio, which includes residential
mortgages, totaled $8.1 billion at March 31, 1994. This level is down $569
million from $8.7 billion at December 31, 1993, primarily due to a $733
million decrease in residential mortgages held for sale, partially offset by
increases in home equity and second mortgage, credit card, and automobile
loans. The increase from the prior year is a result of the Company's home
equity promotions (an increase of $524 million) and growth in credit card
loans (growth of $93 million), partially offset by decreases in residential
mortgages (a decline of $240 million), residential mortgages held for sale (a
decline of $269 million), and installment loans (a decline of $91 million).
Net charge-offs of consumer loans in the first quarter of 1994 were $20.6
million, relatively constant from the $20.1 million for the same period in
1993. Consumer loans 30 days or more past due were 2.1 percent of the total
consumer portfolio at March 31, 1994, compared with 2.3 percent at December
31, 1993, and March 31, 1993.
ANALYSIS OF NET LOAN CHARGE-OFFS AND ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES > Net
charge-offs totaled $25.6 million in the first quarter of 1994, down $17.2
million, or 40.2 percent, from the $42.8 million reported in the first
quarter a year ago, primarily due to declines in net charge-offs on financial
institutions, HLTs, and commercial mortgage loans.
At March 31, 1994, the allowance for credit losses was $442.5 million, or
2.42 percent of loans. This compares with an allowance of $423.2 million, or
2.25 percent of loans, at December 31, 1993, and $443.3 million, or 2.62
percent of loans, at March 31, 1993. The increase from year-end includes the
addition of $20.2 million of allowance from the Boulevard acquisition. The
ratio of the allowance to nonperforming loans continues to indicate strong
reserve coverage, increasing to 293 percent at March 31, 1994, compared with
269 percent at December 31, 1993, and 186 percent at March 31, 1993.

ANALYSIS OF NONPERFORMING ASSETS > Nonperforming assets include all nonaccrual
loans, restructured loans, other real estate and other nonperforming assets
owned by the Company. At March 31, 1994, nonperforming assets totaled $217.7
million, down $8.3 million, or 3.7 percent, from December 31, 1993, and down
$156.7 million, or 41.9 percent, from March 31, 1993, despite the addition of
$29.3 million in nonperforming assets from the acquisition of Boulevard. The
ratio of nonperforming assets to loans and other real estate improved to 1.19
percent at March 31, 1994, and 1.20 percent at December 31, 1993, from 2.20
percent at March 31, 1993. Significant decreases occurred in the categories
of nonperforming HLT, commercial, and financial institutions loans and other
real estate, primarily the result of loan repayments and property sales.
Accruing loans 90 days or more past due at March 31, 1994, totaled $26.7
million, compared with $31.2 million at December 31, 1993, and $28.4 million
at March 31, 1993.

INTEREST RATE RISK MANAGEMENT > The Company's principal objective for interest
rate risk management is to control exposure of net interest income to risks
associated with interest rate movements. Interest rate risk is measured and
reported to the Company's Asset and Liability Management Committee ("ALCO")
through the use of traditional gap analysis, which measures the difference
between assets and liabilities that reprice in a given time period, and
simulation modeling, which produces projections of net interest income under
various interest rate scenarios and balance sheet strategies.
Including the effect of interest rate swaps, futures, options and other
hedging instruments, the Company had a positive cumulative repricing gap
position at one year of $755 million at March 31, 1994, indicating that more
assets than liabilities reprice within that period. While this analysis is
useful as a point-in-time measurement of interest rate risk, there are
certain risks that the repricing gap position does not capture, such as basis
risk and prepayment risk. Due to these limitations, management places a
greater reliance on simulation modeling to measure and manage interest rate
risk.
page 11
It is the Company's policy to maintain a low interest rate risk position by
limiting the amount of forecasted net interest income at risk under a steady
200 basis point change in interest rates over a 12-month period. The
Company's current business mix results in more assets than liabilities
repricing in a one-year time frame. To maintain acceptable interest rate risk
levels, the Company invests in fixed-rate assets or receives fixed rates on
interest rate swaps.
The Company has entered into interest rate swap agreements that hedge
specific assets and liabilities to manage the impact of fluctuating interest
rates on earnings. As of March 31, 1994, the Company receives payments on
$3.1 billion notional amount of interest rate swap agreements, based on fixed
interest rates, and makes payments based on variable interest rates. These
swaps have an average fixed rate of 6.75 percent and an average variable
rate, which is tied to various LIBOR rates, of 3.66 percent. The maturity of
these agreements ranges from 1 month to 10 years with an average remaining
maturity of 3.2 years.
Swaps contributed to the Company's net interest margin by reducing interest
expense by $25.9 million and $22.1 million for the quarters ended March 31,
1994, and 1993, respectively.
Interest rate caps and floors are similarly used by the Company to minimize
the impact of fluctuating interest rates on earnings. The total notional
amount of floor agreements purchased as of March 31, 1994, was $950 million
with an average strike level of 3-month LIBOR at 3.5 percent and an average
remaining maturity of 3.7 years. Floors increased interest income by $.2
million for the quarter ended March 31, 1994. Further information on interest
rate swaps and options can be found in Note I on page 21.

At March 31, 1994, the Company did not have any swaps in its portfolio which

LIQUIDITY MANAGEMENT > The objective of liquidity management is to ensure the
continuous availability of funds to meet the demands of depositors, investors
and borrowers. ALCO is responsible for managing these needs while achieving
the Company's financial objectives. ALCO meets regularly to review funding
capacity, current and forecasted loan demand and investment opportunities.
With this information, ALCO manages the funding needs and excess funding
positions, as well as the maintenance of contingent funding sources, to
achieve a balance sheet structure that provides sufficient liquidity.
BALANCE SHEET ANALYSIS > Average loans totaled $18.0 billion in the first
quarter of 1994, up $1.3 billion, or 8.1 percent, from the first quarter a
year ago. The increase reflected growth in loans to financial institutions
and small business and middle market loans, as well as home equity and second
mortgage loans.
Average securities for the first quarter of 1994 decreased $522 million from
the first quarter of 1993, reflecting maturities of U. S. Treasury and agency
securities.
The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 115, "Accounting for Certain
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," as of December 31, 1993, and
reported its entire $3.3 billion investment portfolio as available-for-sale.
Under this Statement, securities are classified as held-to-maturity if the
Company has the intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity.
Securities that the Company may sell as part of its asset/liability
management strategy or which may be sold in response to changes in interest
rates, resultant prepayment risk and other factors are classified as
available-for-sale. At March 31, 1994, the available-for-sale portfolio
totaled $4.3 billion and a $17.9 million after-tax unrealized loss was
recorded in shareholders' equity.
Trading and other short-term earning assets averaged $.7 billion in the first
quarter of 1994, compared with an average of $1.5 billion in the first
quarter of 1993. The decrease was primarily due to average federal funds sold
and resale agreements which dropped to $.5 billion in the first quarter of
1994 from $1.1 billion in the first quarter of 1993.
Noninterest-bearing deposits averaged $6.4 billion in the first quarter of
1994, up $1.1 billion from the first quarter of 1993. The increase in
noninterest-bearing deposits resulted from the higher level of loans to
mortgage banking firms which generate higher noninterest-bearing deposits.
Average domestic interest-bearing deposits include certificates of deposit,
savings certificates, money market savings, and interest checking products.
These deposits averaged $13.2 billion in the first quarter of 1994, compared
with $14.6 billion in the first quarter of 1993. The decrease reflects a $1.3
billion decline in savings certificates. Short-term borrowings, which include
federal funds purchased, securities sold under agreements to repurchase and
other short-term borrowings, averaged $1.4 billion in the first quarter of
1994, compared with $1.2 billion in the first quarter a year ago.
Average intermediate and long-term debt increased to $1.1 billion in the
first quarter of 1994 from $.8 billion in the first quarter of 1993. During
1993, the Company placed three $100 million subordinated debt issuances.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note A > Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and therefore do not include
all information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of
financial position, results of operations, and cash flow activity required
under generally accepted accounting principles. In the opinion of management
of the Company, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring
accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of results have been made and the
Company believes such presentation is adequate to make the information
presented not misleading. For further information, refer to the consolidated
financial statements and footnotes included in the Company's annual report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1993. Certain amounts in prior
periods have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.
Note B > Accounting Changes
ACCOUNTING FOR CERTAIN INVESTMENTS IN DEBT AND EQUITY SECURITIES > Effective
December 31, 1993, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") 115, "Accounting for Certain
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," and reported its entire $3.3
billion of investment securities as available for sale. SFAS 115 requires
that investments in debt securities and equity securities with readily
determinable fair values be classified into one of three categories which
then establishes the accounting requirements. The accounting for two of the
categories, trading securities and held-to-maturity securities, is
essentially the same as prior practice. The other category,
available-for-sale securities, is accounted for at fair value with unrealized
holding gains or losses being reported as a separate component of
shareholders' equity. At March 31, 1994, the Company's available-for-sale
securities portfolio was $4.3 billion, with an after-tax unrealized loss of
$17.9 million recorded in shareholders' equity.
ACCOUNTING FOR POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS > The Company adopted the provisions of
SFAS 112, "Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits," as of December
31, 1993. This Statement requires accrual of costs associated with
postemployment benefits (principally disability-related benefits) provided to
former or inactive employees after employment but before retirement if
certain conditions are met. The effect of adopting SFAS 112 was not material.
ACCOUNTING BY CREDITORS FOR IMPAIRMENT OF A LOAN > The Financial Accounting
Standards Board has issued SFAS 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment
of a Loan," which requires creditors to establish a valuation allowance when
it is probable that all the principal and interest due under the contractual
terms of a loan will not be collected. The impairment is measured based on
the present value of expected future cash flows based on the loans' effective
interest rate, observable market price or fair value of a collateral
dependent loan. This differs from the Company's current policy in that it
requires establishing a valuation allowance for uncollectible interest in
addition to the principal amounts of impaired loans. The adoption of this
Statement is required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1994. The
adoption of SFAS 114 is not expected to have a material effect on the
Company.
Note C > Business Combinations and Asset Acquisitions
On March 25, 1994, the Company completed the acquisition of Boulevard
Bancorp, Inc. ("Boulevard"), a commercial bank holding company headquartered
in Chicago, Illinois, and under the terms of the purchase agreement, 6.2
million shares of the Company's common stock were issued. In addition,
Boulevard's outstanding stock options and warrants were converted into stock
options and warrants for the Company's common stock.
In connection with the Boulevard acquisition, the Company announced that it
would buy back existing shares of its common stock approximately equal to the
number of shares issued at the time of closing of the Boulevard acquisition.
The repurchase of these shares began in October 1993 and may continue through
the end of the second quarter. As of March 31, 1994, approximately 4.4
million shares with a cost of $136.2 million have been repurchased.
The acquisition of Boulevard was accounted for under the purchase method of
accounting, and accordingly, the purchase price of $208.0 million was
allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair
market values at the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price
over the fair market values of net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill.
Core deposit intangibles of $23 million will be amortized over the estimated
lives of the deposits of approximately 10 years, and goodwill of $144 million
will be amortized over 25 years. The total assets acquired and liabilities
assumed at the time of acquisition were $1.6 billion and $1.5 billion,
respectively. The results of operations of Boulevard have been included in
the Company's Consolidated Statement of Income since the date of acquisition
but had no significant effect on earnings.
page 17
The following pro forma operating results of the Company assume that the
Boulevard acquisition had occurred at the beginning of each period presented.
In addition to combining the historical results of operations of the two
companies, the pro forma results include adjustments for the estimated effect
of purchase accounting on the Company's results.

The pro forma information may not be indicative of the results that actually
would have occurred if the combination had been in effect on the dates
indicated or which may be obtained in the future.
On February 28, 1994, the Company completed the acquisitions of American
Bankshares of Mankato, Inc. and Eagle Insurance Agency. These acquisitions
are not material to the Company's financial position or operating results.
In the second quarter of 1993, the Company completed the acquisition of
Colorado National Bankshares, Inc. ("CNB"), which had $3.0 billion in assets,
$2.5 billion in deposits and $271 million in common equity. Under the terms
of the merger agreement, 20.6 million shares of the Company's common stock
were issued. The CNB acquisition was accounted for using the
pooling-of-interests method. Accordingly, the Company's financial statements
have been restated for all periods prior to the acquisition to include the
accounts and operations of CNB.
Additionally, the Company has signed agreements to acquire three financial
institutions in markets in which the Company has an existing presence,
serving to strengthen the Company's retail banking market shares in these
communities. First Financial Investors, Inc., with approximately $200 million
in assets, is the holding company for St. Louis Bank for Savings, FSB,
located in Duluth, Minnesota. United Bank of Bismarck, with approximately
$123 million in assets, is located in Bismarck, North Dakota. Green Mountain
Bancorporation, Inc., the holding company for Green Mountain Bank, located in
Lakewood, Colorado, has approximately $32 million in assets. The First
Financial Investors, Inc. transaction closed on April 29, 1994, while the
United Bank of Bismarck and the Green Mountain Bancorporation, Inc.
acquisitions are expected to close in the third quarter of 1994.
In January 1994, the Company announced that it had signed an agreement to
acquire the domestic corporate trust business of J.P. Morgan & Co.,
Incorporated. This business unit provides trust services for approximately
650 clients with 3,800 bond issues in the areas of municipal, revenue,
housing and corporate bond indenture trusteeships. The transaction is
expected to close in the third quarter of 1994.

Note G > Shareholders' Equity
On January 19, 1994, the Board of Directors authorized the redemption of
$159.3 million of the Company's preferred stock, consisting of $89 million of
Preferred Stock Series 1989A and $70.3 million of Preferred Stock Series
1989B. This redemption is reflected in the March 31, 1994, capital ratios.
During 1993, the Company redeemed the $100 million Series 1983A Adjustable

Boulevard Bancorp, Inc. acquisition. The repurchase of these shares began in
October 1993 and may continue through the end of the second quarter. As of
March 31, 1994, approximately 4.4 million shares with a cost of $136.2
million had been repurchased.
In January 1993, the Company also announced a $75 million common stock

shares issued in connection with the Bank Shares Incorporated acquisition, to
provide for issuances under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan and the Dividend
Reinvestment Plan and to be used for corporate purposes. As of March 31,
1994, approximately 2.3 million shares with a cost of $65.7 million had been
