EXHIBIT 99


         Wells Fargo & Company's financial results for the quarter ended March
31, 2001.

         Wells Fargo & Company reported net income of $1,165 million for the
first quarter of 2001, up 12% from the first quarter of 2000, on revenue growth
of 12%. Diluted cash earnings per common share were $.80 for the first quarter
of 2001, up 16% from $.69 per share in the first quarter of 2000. Cash earnings
are earnings before goodwill and nonqualifying core deposit intangible
amortization and the reduction of unamortized goodwill due to sales of assets.
Cash return on average assets (ROA) was 2.18% and cash return on average common
equity (ROE) was 34.50% for the first quarter of 2001, compared with 2.07% and
31.98%, respectively, for the prior year.

         Diluted earnings per common share were a $.67 for the first quarter of
2001, up 10% from the $.61 reported for the first quarter of 2000. ROA was 1.76%
for the first quarter of 2001, compared with 1.75% for the first quarter of
2000. ROE was 17.95% for the first quarter of 2001, compared with 17.45% for the
same period a year ago.

         The difference between cash and reported earnings per share this
quarter was greater than in prior quarters due to the impact of goodwill and
core deposit intangibles from acquisitions completed recently. Goodwill and
core deposit intangible amortization and the reduction of unamortized
goodwill due to sales of assets related to acquisitions completed since the
Wells Fargo/Norwest merger in November 1998, while not affecting cash
earnings, reduced first quarter 2001 reported earnings by about $.05 per
share and, together with the effect of pending acquisitions, are expected to
reduce reported earnings for the full year by about $.13 per share under
current accounting rules. The total difference between cash and reported
earnings is expected to be $.43 per share in 2001 assuming no change in
accounting rules.

         After-tax conversion costs for First Security, National Bancorp of
Alaska and Brenton Banks were approximately $50 million for the first quarter
of 2001. Additional integration costs to complete these conversions are
expected to be approximately $87 million (after-tax), or $.05 per share,
primarily during the second quarter of 2001. Given current stock market
conditions, market-sensitive income such as venture capital gains will likely
fall below the normalized level of $140 million (pretax), or $87 million
(after-tax), per quarter and therefore will not offset these conversion
costs, as was the case in 1999 and 2000.

         Wells Fargo completed its merger with First Security Corporation on
October 25, 2000. The merger was accounted for under the pooling-of-interests
method of accounting. These financial results present the results of Wells Fargo
& Company as if the merger with First Security had been in effect for all
periods presented.

         Net interest income on a taxable-equivalent basis was $2,834 million in
the first quarter of 2001, up 7%, compared with $2,649 million in the first
quarter of 2000. The net interest margin was 5.21% for the first quarter of
2001, compared with 5.39% for the same period of 2000. Following the Federal
Reserve interest rate reductions, loan rates have fallen faster than customer
deposit rates. Average loans grew from $155.9 billion in the fourth quarter of
2000 to $159.9 billion in the first quarter, an annualized growth rate of
approximately 10%.

         Noninterest income was $2,414 million in the first quarter of 2001, up
18%, compared with $2,043 million in the same period of 2000. The increase in
noninterest income was due to higher



                                      -2-

net gains on sales of securities in the securities available for sale
portfolio in 2001, a $160 million write-down of auto lease residuals in the
first quarter of 2000 and a $96 million gain on divestitures (required as a
condition to the First Security merger) of 39 stores in Idaho, New Mexico,
Nevada and Utah in 2001. This gain includes a $54 million reduction of
unamortized goodwill. The increase in noninterest income was primarily offset
by a decrease in net venture capital gains.

         Noninterest expense was $2,996 million in the first quarter of 2001,
compared with $2,736 million in the same period a year ago, an increase of
10%. Salaries, incentive compensation and employee benefit expenses grew by
almost 12% during this period due primarily to headcount growth of 13%. The
cash efficiency ratio was 53.2% for the first quarter of 2001, compared with
55.1% for the first quarter of 2000.

         Noninterest expenses declined $222 million, or almost 7%, from the
fourth quarter 2000. Most of the decrease was attributable to reduction in the
integration charges for the Wells Fargo/Norwest and First Security mergers.

         The provision for loan losses was $361 million for the first quarter of
2001 and $276 million for first quarter of 2000. Net charge-offs totaled $361
million, or .92% of average loans (annualized), in the first quarter of 2001 and
$352 million, or .90%, for the fourth quarter of 2000 and $275 million, or .82%,
for the first quarter of 2000.

         At March 31, 2001, the allowance for loan losses of $3,759 million
was 2.32% of total loans, compared with 2.45% at March 31, 2000. Total
nonaccrual and restructured loans were $1,364 million at March 31, 2001,
$1,195 million at December 31, 2000, and $816 million at March 31, 2000. The
increase in nonaccrual loans from December 31, 2000 included the impact of
Wells Fargo's exposure to a California utility that recently declared
bankruptcy, plus $28 million due to nonaccrual loans from acquisitions closed
during the quarter.

Reform Act of 1995:

         The foregoing discussion contains forward-looking statements about
the Company, including, generally, descriptions of plans or objectives for
future operations, products or services, and/or forecasts of revenues,
earnings or other measures of economic performance and, specifically -the
anticipated impact on reported earnings per share for the full year 2001 of
goodwill and core deposit intangible amortization from acquisitions - the
expected difference between cash and reported earnings per share for the full
year 2001 - the anticipated amount and anticipated timing of integration
costs relating to the completion of the First Security, National Bancorp of
Alaska and Brenton Banks conversions - the likely level of market-sensitive
income such as venture capital gains - the expected amount of non-performing
assets and net charge-offs - the expected condition of and growth prospectus
for the California economy - the credit exposure to California utility
companies and to dot-com companies - the mitigating effect of lending
policies and loan portfolio diversity on the impact to the Company of a
weaker economy. Forward-looking statements discuss matters that are not facts
and often include the word: "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "intend,"
"plan," "estimate," "will," "can," "would," "should," "could" or "may." They

(1)  The efficiency ratio is defined as noninterest expense divided by total
     revenue (net interest income and noninterest income).
(2)  Cash net income and ratios exclude goodwill and nonqualifying core deposit
     intangible (CDI) amortization and the reduction of unamortized goodwill due
     to sales of assets. The ratios also exclude the balance of goodwill and
     nonqualifying CDI. Nonqualifying core deposit intangible amortization and
     average balance excluded from these calculations are, with the exception of
     the efficiency and ROA ratios, net of applicable taxes. The pretax amount
     for the average balance of nonqualifying CDI was $1,123 million for the
     three months ended March 31, 2001. The after-tax amounts for the
     amortization and average balance of nonqualifying CDI were $25 million and
     $697 million, respectively, for the quarter ended March 31, 2001. Goodwill
     amortization and the reduction of unamortized goodwill due to the sales
     of assets and average balance (which are not tax effected) were $144
     million, $54 million and $9,266 million, respectively, for the quarter
     ended March 31, 2001.
(3)  The March 31, 2001 ratios are preliminary.
