OVERVIEW
Wells Fargo & Company (Parent) is a bank holding company whose principal
subsidiary is Wells Fargo Bank N.A. (Bank). In this Form 10-Q, Wells Fargo &
Company and its subsidiaries are referred to as the Company.
Net income in the third quarter of 1994 was $217 million, compared with
$165 million in the third quarter of 1993, an increase of 32%. Per share
earnings for the third quarter of 1994 were $3.86 per share, compared with
$2.74 per share in the third quarter of 1993, an increase of 41%. A significant
portion of the increase in earnings from a year ago was due to a lower loan loss
provision. The percentage increase in per share earnings was greater than the
percentage increase in net income due to the Company's continuing stock
repurchase program. Net income for the first nine months of 1994 was
$625 million, or $10.83 per share, compared with $422 million, or $6.92 per
share, in the first nine months of 1993.
Return on average assets (ROA) was 1.65% and 1.61% in the third quarter and
first nine months of 1994, compared with 1.29% and 1.11% in the same periods of
1993, respectively. Return on average common equity (ROE) was 22.99% and 21.91%
in the third quarter and first nine months of 1994, respectively, compared with
17.75% and 15.61% in the same periods of 1993, respectively.
Net interest income on a taxable-equivalent basis was $656 million in the third
quarter of 1994 and 1993. The Company's net interest margin was 5.53% for the
third quarter of 1994, down from 5.65% in the same quarter of 1993. A major
portion of the decrease was due to higher funding costs.
Noninterest income in the third quarter of 1994 was $307 million, compared with
$264 million in the same quarter of 1993, an increase of 16%. The increase was
primarily due to a $36 million accrual related to the disposition of owned and
leased premises that reduced noninterest income in the third quarter of 1993. A
$13 million increase in service charges on deposit accounts and a $12 million
increase in mutual fund and annuity sales fees also contributed to the increase.
Noninterest expense in the third quarter of 1994 was $531 million, down 1% from
$535 million. A decline in foreclosed assets expense was largely offset by a
higher level of incentive compensation.
The Company's provision for loan losses was $50 million in the third quarter of
1994, compared with $60 million in the second quarter of 1994 and $120 million
in the third quarter of 1993. The provision was $170 million in the first nine
months of 1994, compared with $470 million in the first nine months of 1993.
During the third quarter of 1994, net charge-offs totaled $60 million, or .69%
of average total loans (annualized). This compared with $61 million, or .73%,
during the second quarter of 1994 and $121 million, or 1.42%, during the third
quarter of 1993. The allowance for loan losses was 6.04% of total loans at
September 30, 1994, compared with 6.20% at June 30, 1994 and 6.32% at
September 30, 1993.
7
Loan balances increased 4% since the end of the third quarter of 1993, rising to
$34,951 million at September 30, 1994.
Total nonaccrual and restructured loans were $641 million, or 1.8% of total
loans, at September 30, 1994, compared with $717 million, or 2.1%, at
June 30, 1994 and $1,702 million, or 5.1%, at September 30, 1993. Loans new to
nonaccrual in the third quarter of 1994 were $93 million, compared with $133
million in the second quarter of 1994 and $195 million in the third quarter of
1993. At September 30, 1994, an estimated $319 million, or 50%, of nonaccrual
loans were less than 90 days past due, compared with an estimated $336 million,
or 47%, at June 30, 1994. Foreclosed assets amounted to $306 million at
September 30, 1994, $344 million at June 30, 1994 and $357 million at
September 30, 1993.
Common equity to total assets was 6.77% at September 30, 1994, compared with
6.96% and 6.81% at June 30, 1994 and September 30, 1993, respectively. The
Company's total risk-based capital ratio at September 30, 1994 was 13.93% and
its Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio was 9.62%, exceeding the minimum guidelines
of 8% and 4%, respectively. At June 30, 1994, these risk-based capital ratios
were 14.56% and 10.06%, respectively. The decrease in total and Tier 1 risk-
based capital ratios between June 30, 1994 and September 30, 1994 resulted
primarily from the repurchase of 1,777,598 shares of common stock during the
third quarter. Total and Tier 1 risk-based capital ratios at September 30, 1993
were 14.60% and 9.91%, respectively. The leverage ratios were 7.01%, 7.20% and
7.21% at September 30, 1994, June 30, 1994 and September 30, 1993, respectively.
During the third quarter, business conditions in California continued to
improve, although the pace was moderate and hesitant. Job gains stabilized,
while consumer spending increased moderately. Home sales were still buoyant but
below their peak in the first quarter. Building activity rose somewhat in both
residential and commercial markets. The general belief is that the economic
recovery in California is continuing at a moderate pace.

million in the first nine months of 1994, compared with $1,993 million in the
same period of 1993. Individual components of net interest income and net
interest margin are presented in the rate/yield table on pages 10 and 11.
The Company's net interest margin was 5.53% for the third quarter of 1994,
compared with 5.65% for the third quarter of 1993. The decrease was
predominantly due to higher funding costs and lower hedging income, primarily
offset by higher yields on earning assets.
Hedging income from derivative contracts decreased approximately $49 million, or
42 basis points of the net interest margin, from the third quarter of 1993 and
$122 million, or 35 basis points, from the nine months ended September 30, 1993,
primarily due to the maturity of contracts. The interest rate derivative
contracts that are maturing, primarily purchased interest
8
rate floor contracts and interest rate swaps in which the Company receives a
fixed rate, were entered into during a higher interest rate environment and have
benefited from the subsequent decline in rates. Any new replacement contracts
are not expected to result in the same hedging income as the maturing contracts
due to the comparatively lower rate environment.
Loans averaged $34.3 billion in the third quarter of 1994, a 2% increase from
$33.7 billion in the third quarter of 1993. The largest increase occurred in 1-
4 family first mortgage loans. The majority of this increase was due to the
shift in originations from 30-year fixed rate loans to adjustable rate
mortgages, which have generally been held for portfolio purposes. Loans totaled
$35.0 billion at September 30, 1994, up 2% from June 30, 1994 and up 6% from
December 31, 1993. This is the third consecutive quarterly increase in loan
balances since 1990. The Company expects loan balances at December 31, 1994 to
be higher than balances at September 30, 1994.
Investment securities averaged $12.8 billion during the third quarter of 1994,
an 8% increase from $11.9 billion in the third quarter of 1993. However,
investment securities totaled $12.3 billion at September 30, 1994, down 8% from
June 30, 1994 and down 6% from December 31, 1993. Investment securities are
expected to continue to decrease as the cash received from their maturities is
used to fund loan growth.
Average core deposits were $39.5 billion and $40.3 billion in the third quarters
of 1994 and 1993, respectively, and funded 76% and 79% of the Company's average
total assets in the same quarters of 1994 and 1993, respectively.
Despite the recent rise in interest rates, the net interest margin and net
interest income for the fourth quarter of 1994 are expected to remain about the
same as the third quarter of 1994, assuming that there are no significant
increases in deposit rates. In the long-term, the net interest margin is
expected to decline modestly, assuming that deposit rates will gradually
increase in response to rising market interest rates. However, net interest
income is not currently expected to change significantly.

==============================================================================================================================
The growth in service charges on deposit accounts in the third quarter of 1994
compared with the third quarter of 1993 was primarily due to increased fees for
overdrafts and higher business checking charges.
The increase in the total fees and commissions in the third quarter of 1994
compared with the third quarter of 1993 was predominantly due to growth in
mutual fund and annuity sales fees, primarily offset by a decrease in debit and
credit card merchant fees.
The increase in mutual fund and annuity sales fees was due to a $17 million
growth in annuity sales fees from $5 million in the third quarter of 1993 to $22
million in the third quarter of 1994. Sales volume of annuities grew from $109
million in the third quarter of 1993 to $460 million in the third quarter of
1994. The change in the mix of products sold, from bond-oriented mutual funds
to fixed-rate annuities, reflected a combination of influences, including a
shift in investor preferences due to rising interest rates and the introduction
of new non-commission retail products. Sales of mutual funds and annuities
contributed to fees and commissions income through sales fees and to trust and
investment services income through mutual fund management fees.
12
The decrease in debit and credit card merchant fees was primarily due to an
alliance that the Company entered into in November 1993. The agreement with
Card Establishment Services (CES) formed an alliance for merchant credit and
debit card processing services. Under this agreement, the Company is
responsible for marketing and sales, initial merchant credit analysis and
customer service; CES provides technology and processing operations. The
Company retains an interest in the net revenues from processing the transactions
that are now reported as income from equity investments accounted for by the
equity method, rather than reported as income from debit and credit card
merchant fees. As a result, income from the alliance contributed approximately
$2 million and $5 million to income from equity investments in the third quarter
and nine months ended September 30, 1994, respectively.
"All other" fees and commissions include amortization expense for purchased
mortgage servicing rights. This amortization expense totaled $2 million in the
third quarter of 1994, compared with $3 million in the same period of 1993. At
September 30, 1994, the balance of purchased mortgage servicing rights was
$36 million, compared with $15 million at September 30, 1993.
The increase in trust and investment services income in the third quarter of
1994 compared with the third quarter of 1993 was significantly due to greater
mutual fund investment management fees, reflecting the overall growth in the
fund families' net assets. The Stagecoach family of 24 funds had $5.8 billion
of assets under management at September 30, 1994, compared with $4.0 billion at
September 30, 1993. The Stagecoach family consists of both retail and
institutional funds. The retail funds, first introduced in 1992, are primarily
distributed through the branch network. These funds had $4.8 billion under
management at September 30, 1994, compared with $3.6 billion at September 30,
1993. The institutional funds, first introduced in mid-1993, are offered
primarily to selected groups of investors and certain corporations, partnerships
and other business entities. At September 30, 1994, these funds had $933
million of assets under management, compared with $445 million at
September 30, 1993. The Overland Express family of 16 funds, which had $3.6
billion of assets under management at September 30, 1994, compared with $4.0
billion at September 30, 1993, is sold nationwide through brokers. The decline
in assets under management was mostly in the Variable Rate Government Fund, the
largest Overland Fund, reflecting a shift of investor preferences away from
bond-oriented funds due to the rising interest rate environment. In addition
to managing Overland Express Funds and all the funds in the Stagecoach family,
the Company also managed or maintained personal trust, employee benefit trust
and agency assets of approximately $46 billion at September 30, 1994, compared
with $45 billion at September 30, 1993. Mutual fund management fees are
expected to continue to be higher in 1994 than 1993.
In the third quarter of 1993, income from cost method equity investments
included $9 million in net gains on sales and special distributions from
nonmarketable equity investments.
In the third quarter of 1993, the Company made a $36 million accrual primarily
related to the disposition of owned and leased premises resulting from reduced
space requirements; for example, downsizing some full service branches into
supermarket locations and into other smaller, midsized branches. The remaining
reserve of $5 million at October 31, 1994 relates substantially to branch
closures scheduled to occur by year-end 1994. Additional accruals may be made
in the fourth quarter of 1994 depending on the Company's plans for further
reducing its space requirements for full service branches.
13
"All Other" noninterest income in the third quarter of 1993 included $18 million
of interest income received as a result of the settlement of California
Franchise Tax Board audits related to the appropriate years for claiming
deductions applicable to the 1976 through 1986 tax returns.
Noninterest income from fee-based products, mutual fund management fees and
deposit-related services is expected to continue to be higher in 1994 than 1993.

===============================================================================================================
The increase in salaries expense in the third quarter of 1994 was primarily due
to an increase in incentive compensation related to the increase in annuity
sales. The Company's full-time equivalent staff, including hourly employees,
averaged approximately 19,700 in the third quarter of 1994, compared with
approximately 20,700 in the third quarter of 1993.
Employee benefits in the third quarter of 1993 included an $11 million accrual
for the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 112 for
postemployment benefits.
The increase in contract services expense in the third quarter of 1994 compared
with the same quarter of 1993 was predominantly due to the development of new
products and services and system upgrades throughout the Company.

====================================================================================================
The decrease in foreclosed assets expense was largely due to a decrease in
write-downs from $10 million in the third quarter of 1993 to $2 million in the
third quarter of 1994 and increased gains on sales. The Company intends to
continue to emphasize disposing of its foreclosed assets.
Total noninterest expense in 1994 is likely to be lower than 1993 primarily due
to decreases in foreclosed assets expense.
INCOME TAXES
The Company's effective tax rate was 43% for the third quarter of 1994 and 44%
for the first nine months of 1994, compared with 38% and 41% for the same
periods in 1993, respectively. The effective tax rate was lower for the third
quarter of 1993 due to a net $14 million reduction of income tax expense related

(1) All securities of U.S. government agencies and corporations are mortgage-backed securities.
(2) All private collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs) are AAA rated bonds collateralized by 1-4 family residential first
mortgages.
Investment securities were $12.3 billion at September 30, 1994, an 8% decrease
from $13.3 billion at June 30, 1994 and a 4% decrease from $12.8 billion at
September 30, 1993. The investment securities portfolio at September 30, 1994
was comprised of $9.1 billion of held-to-maturity securities at cost and $3.1
billion of available-for-sale securities at fair value.
At September 30, 1994, the held-to-maturity securities portfolio had an
estimated unrealized net loss of $299 million (which reflected estimated
unrealized gross gains of $4 million), or 3.3% of the cost of the portfolio. At
December 31, 1993, the held-to-maturity portfolio had an estimated unrealized
net gain of $91 million (which reflected estimated unrealized gross losses of
$23 million), or .9% of the cost of the portfolio.
At September 30, 1994, the available-for-sale securities portfolio had an
unrealized net loss of $116 million, or 3.6 % of the cost of the portfolio,
comprised of unrealized gross losses of $147 million and unrealized gross gains
of $15 million on debt securities and unrealized gross gains of $16 million on
marketable equity securities. The unrealized net gain or loss on available-for-
sale securities is reported on an after-tax basis as a separate component of
stockholders' equity. At September 30, 1994, the unrealized net after-tax loss
amounted to $67 million, compared with an unrealized net after-tax gain of $21
million at December 31, 1993.
16
The unrealized net loss in both the held-to-maturity and available-for-sale
portfolios was predominantly due to investments in mortgage-backed
securities. These unrealized net losses reflected an increasing interest rate
environment. As interest rates rise, the Company expects the unrealized losses
to grow and prepayments to decrease. Although it does not presently intend to
sell the available-for-sale securities, the Company may decide to sell certain
of the securities to maintain approximately the current level of earning assets
(for example, to offset loan growth that may exceed expected maturities and
prepayments of securities), resulting in the realization of losses.
The following table provides the expected remaining maturities and yields
(taxable-equivalent basis) of debt securities within the investment portfolio.

(1) The weighted average yield is computed using the amortized cost of available-for-sale investment securities
carried at fair value.
The weighted average expected remaining maturity of the debt securities
portfolio was 3 years and 1 month at September 30, 1994, compared with 3 years
at June 30, 1994 and 2 years and 7 months at December 31, 1993. The increase in
the expected remaining maturity reflects a higher interest rate environment, in
which prepayments are likely to slow down. The short-term debt securities
portfolio serves to maintain asset liquidity and to fund loan growth.

The largest growth in the loan portfolio in the first nine months of 1994 was
from real estate 1-4 family first mortgage loans which grew by 19%. The
majority of the growth was due to the shift in originations from 30-year fixed
rate loans to adjustable rate mortgages, which have generally been held for
portfolio purposes.

The Company's commercial real estate loan portfolio was $9.4 billion at
September 30, 1994, compared with $9.9 billion at December 31, 1993 and $10.8
billion at September 30, 1993, a 5% and 13% decrease, respectively. These
decreases were primarily due to payments received.
Over the years, the Company has prospered as an active commercial real estate
lender. However, as a result of the recent recession and overbuilt real estate
markets, the Company's earnings during the past three years were significantly
affected by its relatively high levels of commercial real estate loans. The
Company's real estate borrowers with properties located in Southern California
have been particularly affected. There is still an oversupply of certain types
of commercial real estate in the U.S. (particularly California) which could last
for a number of years. However, a substantial amount of liquidity has returned
to the real estate markets, mostly in apartments and shopping centers and, to a
lesser degree, in other property types. Many developers are successfully
financing acquisition or development programs through the capital markets and
many banks are showing interest in financing certain product types. This
liquidity is contributing significantly to the Company's progress in reducing
its nonaccrual loans and foreclosed assets. As a result of this liquidity in
the marketplace and the Company's strengthened lending practices (including
limiting the degree of the portfolio concentration in any product type, location
or to any individual borrower), nonaccrual commercial real estate loans have
declined to 5.1% of the commercial real estate portfolio at September 30, 1994,
down from 11.5% at September 30, 1993 and 12.3% at its peak at December 31,
1992. The Company has begun to see growth in its out-of-state commercial real
estate loan portfolio and expects growth during 1995.

September 30, 1993, respectively.
Nonaccrual loans at September 30, 1994 declined for the eighth consecutive
quarter following nine quarters of increases. The general decline of nonaccrual
loans over the last eight quarters largely resulted from loan payments and loans
returned to accrual, together with a reduction in new loans placed on
nonaccrual. While the overall credit quality of the loan portfolio continues to
improve, the Company anticipates that the amount of new loans placed on
nonaccrual will fluctuate from quarter to quarter. The placement of commercial
and real estate loans on nonaccrual, as well as transfers to foreclosed assets,
are likely to continue to occur, although not at levels seen in the last three
years, until, and for a period after, the economy fully recovers and the
oversupply of properties is reduced with resulting increases in occupancy and
rental rates. It may take years to absorb the surplus office capacity in
certain geographic markets (particularly in Southern California) where the
Company has commercial real estate outstandings.

Approximately 58% of the foreclosed assets at September 30, 1994 have been in
the Company's portfolio less than one year.
NONACCRUAL LOANS BY PERFORMANCE CATEGORY
At September 30, 1994, an estimated $319 million, or 50%, of nonaccrual loans
were less than 90 days past due, including an estimated $248 million, or 39%,
that were current (less than 30 days past due) as to payment of principal and
interest. This compares with an estimated $336 million, or 47%, of nonaccrual
loans that were less than 90 days past due at June 30, 1994, including an
estimated $242 million, or 34%, that were current.
For all loans on nonaccrual during the third and second quarter of 1994
(including loans no longer on nonaccrual at September 30, 1994 and June 30,
1994), cash interest payments of $16 million and $18 million, respectively, were
received while the loans were on nonaccrual status. Of the $16 million received
in the third quarter, $4 million was recognized as interest income and
$12 million was applied to principal. Of the $18 million received in the second
quarter, $7 million was recognized as interest income and $11 million was
applied to principal. The average nonaccrual book principal loan balances (net
of charge-offs and interest applied to principal) were $662 million and
$830 million for the quarters ended September 30, 1994 and June 30, 1994,
respectively.
The table on the following page presents the estimated amount of nonaccrual
loans that were contractually past due and those that were contractually current
at the end of the third and second quarters of 1994. There can be no assurance
that individual borrowers will continue to perform at the level indicated or
that the performance characteristics will not change significantly. Both book
and contractual principal balances are presented in the table, the difference
reflecting charge-offs and interest applied to principal. The ratio of book to
22
contractual principal balance was 64% at September 30, 1994, compared with 66%
at June 30, 1994.

(1) Calculated on an annualized basis.
(2) The second quarter of 1994 includes $2 million of recoveries from the sale of previously charged off loans.
Total net charge-offs for the third quarter of 1994 were .69% of average total
loans on an annualized basis. Net charge-offs were largely due to credit card
loans and other real estate mortgage loans. Credit card net charge-offs were
primarily due to bankruptcies and the current economic environment (particularly
in Southern California). Despite the high level in relation to other loan
types, credit card net charge-offs continued to improve over their peak levels
in mid-1992, primarily due to the economic improvements in California. The other
real estate mortgage net charge-offs were primarily due to loans related to
shopping centers and industrial buildings.
Although net charge-offs during 1991 and 1992 were higher than historical norms,
they steadily declined during 1993 and are expected to remain lower in 1994 than
1993 due to the improvement in the credit quality of the Company's loan
portfolio.
The Company considers the allowance for loan losses of $2,110 million adequate
to cover losses inherent in loans, loan commitments and standby letters of
credit at September 30, 1994. The Company's determination of the level of the
allowance and, correspondingly, the provision for loan losses rests upon various
judgments and assumptions, including general (particularly California) economic
conditions, loan portfolio composition, prior loan loss experience and the
Company's ongoing examination process and that of its regulators. The provision
for loan losses declined to $50 million in the third quarter of 1994 from $120
million in the same period a year ago. The lower provision reflects continued
improvement in credit quality. A further reduction in the provision is
currently expected in the fourth quarter of 1994, assuming continued
improvements in credit quality.
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 114 (FAS 114), Accounting by
Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, addresses the accounting treatment of
certain impaired loans and amends FASB Statements No. 5 and 15; however, it does
not address the overall adequacy of the
26
allowance for loan losses. The Statement is effective January 1, 1995, and can
only be applied prospectively. In October 1994, the FASB issued FAS 118,
Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan - Income Recognition and
Disclosures. FAS 118 amends FAS 114 and allows creditors to use existing
methods for recognizing interest income on an impaired loan and changes certain
disclosure requirements. FAS 118 is effective concurrent with the effective
date of FAS 114. The Company does not currently intend to implement the
Statements before their effective date. Based on the Company's interpretations,
the allowance will not increase as a result of adopting these Statements.

(1) Net of a valuation allowance of $2 million, $2 million and $5 million at
September 30, 1994, December 31, 1993 and September 30, 1993, respectively.
The Company estimates that approximately $831 million of the $953 million net
deferred tax asset at September 30, 1994 could be realized by the recovery of
previously paid federal taxes; however, the Company expects to actually realize
the federal net deferred tax asset by claiming deductions against future taxable
income. The balance of approximately $122 million relates to approximately $1.6
billion of net deductions that are expected to reduce future California taxable
income (California tax law does not permit recovery of previously paid taxes).
The Company believes that it is more likely than not that it will have
sufficient future California taxable income to fully utilize these deductions.
The identifiable intangible assets are generally amortized using an accelerated
method, which is based on estimated useful lives ranging from 5 to 15 years.
Amortization expense was $18 million, $20 million and $22 million for the
quarters ended September 30, 1994, December 31, 1993 and September 30, 1993,
respectively.

CAPITAL ADEQUACY/RATIOS
Risk-based capital (RBC) guidelines issued by the Federal Reserve Board (FRB)
establish a risk-adjusted ratio relating capital to different categories of
assets and off-balance sheet exposures. The Company's Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital
components are presented on the following page. The guidelines require a
minimum total RBC ratio of 8%, with at least half of the total capital in the
form of Tier 1 capital. To supplement the RBC guidelines, the FRB established a
minimum leverage ratio guideline of 3% of Tier 1 capital to average total
assets.
The decrease in the Company's RBC and leverage ratios at September 30, 1994
compared with December 31, 1993 resulted primarily from common stock repurchases
of 555,853 shares, 1,124,856 shares and 1,777,598 shares in the first, second
and third quarters of 1994, respectively, and secondarily from the redemption of
$150 million in Series A preferred stock (at its liquidation preference carrying
amount) in the first quarter of 1994.
Under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991, a "well
capitalized" bank must have a Tier 1 RBC ratio of at least 6%, a combined Tier 1
and Tier 2 ratio of at least 10% and a leverage ratio of at least 5%. At
September 30, 1994, the Bank had a Tier 1 RBC ratio of 10.72%, a combined Tier 1
and Tier 2 ratio of 13.87% and a leverage ratio of 7.76%.

ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT
As is typical in the banking industry, most of the Company's assets and
liabilities are sensitive to fluctuations in interest rates. Accordingly, an
essential objective of asset/liability management is to control interest rate
risk.
The Company manages portfolio assets by matching them with funding sources that
have similar repricing characteristics. The Company uses various asset/liability
strategies to manage the repricing characteristics of its assets, liabilities
and off-balance sheet financial instruments to ensure that exposure to interest
rate fluctuations is limited within Company guidelines of acceptable levels of
risk-taking. Hedging strategies, including the use of interest rate contracts,
are used to reduce mismatches in interest rate maturities of portfolio assets
and their funding sources.
One way to measure the impact that future changes in interest rates will have on
net interest income is through a cumulative gap measure. The gap represents the
net position of assets and liabilities subject to repricing in specified time
periods. Generally, a liability sensitivity gap indicates that there would be a
net negative impact on the net interest margin of the Company over the next year
in an increasing interest rate environment since the Company's liabilities would
reprice to higher market interest rates before its assets would. A net positive
impact would result from a decreasing interest rate environment. At September
30, 1994, the under-one-year cumulative gap was a $678 million (1.3% of total
assets) net liability position, compared with a $415 million (.8% of total
assets) net liability position at June 30, 1994 and a $1,402 million (2.7% of
total assets) net asset position at December 31, 1993. The increase in the net
liability position at September 30, 1994 compared with June 30, 1994 was
predominately due to an increase in short-term borrowings, as well as a lower
level of investment securities that are expected to mature or prepay within a
year due to the increasing interest rate environment. This was primarily offset
by a decrease in market rate savings and an increase in the under-one-year
balance of the commercial loan portfolio.
Two adjustments to the cumulative gap provide comparability with banks that
present interest rate sensitivity in an alternative manner. However, management
does not believe that these adjustments necessarily depict its interest rate
risk. The first adjustment excludes noninterest earning assets, noninterest-
bearing liabilities and stockholders' equity from the cumulative gap calculation
so only earning assets, interest-bearing liabilities and interest rate financial
contracts are reported. The second adjustment moves interest-bearing checking
and savings deposits from the nonmarket, over-one-year liability category to the
shortest rate maturity category. The second adjustment reflects the
availability of the deposits for immediate withdrawal. The resulting adjusted
under-one-year cumulative gap (net liability position) was $7.7 billion, $7.4
billion and $5.9 billion at September 30, 1994, June 30, 1994 and December 31,
1993, respectively.
Since interest rate changes do not affect all categories of assets and
liabilities equally or simultaneously, a cumulative gap analysis alone is not
adequate to evaluate the Company's interest rate sensitivity position. To
supplement traditional gap analysis, the Company performs simulation modeling to
estimate the potential effects of changing interest rates. The process
30
allows the Company to fully explore the complex relationships within the gap
over time and various interest rate environments.
In October 1994, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
119 (FAS 119), Disclosure about Derivative Financial Instruments and Fair Value
of Financial Instruments. FAS 119 requires various disclosures regarding
derivative activities commencing with the Company's 1994 Annual Report.
