Through our bank and other subsidiaries, we offer a wide array of financial products and services to individuals, businesses and institutions. On August 1, 1997, First Bank System, Inc. ("FBS") of Minneapolis acquired U. S. Bancorp of Portland, Oregon, and adopted the U.S. Bancorp name. Until the two companies are fully integrated in 1998, customers will continue to recognize our banking offices by the names First Bank, Colorado National Bank or U.S. Bank. First Trust and many of our other affiliates also will keep their existing names in the near term. All of our banking locations eventually will conduct business as U.S. Bank. As of the merger date, the new U.S. Bancorp was the 14th largest U.S. commercial bank holding company, with assets of approximately $70 billion. Our market capitalization of more than $20 billion placed us among the top 10 bank holding companies. U.S. Bancorp, through its bank and other subsidiaries, is a market leader serving millions of customers in 17 contiguous states from the Midwest to the Rocky Mountains to the Pacific Northwest. Our banking customers have choices of convenient, multiple distribution channels, including nearly 1,000 branches, more than 4,500 automated teller machines, 24-hour telephone service centers, and PC banking. Nationally, we're a leader in specialty businesses such as corporate trust, electronic card payment systems, and leasing. And we offer investment products that have ranked among the best available.* U.S. Bancorp is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol USB.

U.S. Bancorp 5 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE A SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES U.S. Bancorp, formerly known as First Bank System, Inc., (the "Company") or ("USB") is the organization created by the merger of First Bank System, Inc. and U.S. Bancorp. The Company is a regional multibank holding company that provides banking and other financial services principally to domestic markets. See Note C for information regarding the merger. The Company has five primary businesses that operate principally in the 17 states of Minnesota, Oregon, Washington, Colorado, California, Idaho, Nebraska, North Dakota, Nevada, South Dakota, Montana, Iowa, Illinois, Utah, Wisconsin, Kansas, and Wyoming. Retail Banking delivers products and services to the broad consumer market and small-businesses through branch offices, telemarketing, direct mail, and automated teller machines ("ATMs"). Payment Systems includes consumer and business credit cards, corporate and purchasing card services, card-accessed secured and unsecured lines of credit, ATM processing and merchant processing. Business Banking and Private Financial Services includes middle-market banking services, private banking and personal trust. Commercial Banking provides lending, treasury management, and other financial services to middle-market, large corporate, and mortgage banking companies. Corporate Trust and Institutional Financial Services includes institutional and corporate trust services, investment management services, and a full-service brokerage company. BASIS OF PRESENTATION The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. The consolidation eliminates all significant intercompany accounts and transactions. Certain items in prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual experience could differ from those estimates. SECURITIES TRADING ACCOUNT SECURITIES Debt and equity securities held for resale in anticipation of short-term market movements are classified as trading account securities and reported at fair value. Realized and unrealized gains or losses are recorded in noninterest income. AVAILABLE-FOR-SALE SECURITIES These securities are not trading account securities but may be sold before maturity in response to changes in interest rates, prepayment risk, and funding sources or terms, or to meet liquidity needs. They are carried at fair value with unrealized net gains or losses reported in shareholders' equity. When sold, the amortized cost of the specific securities is used to compute the gain or loss. HELD-TO-MATURITY SECURITIES Included in held-to-maturity securities are those securities which management has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity. These securities are stated at cost, as adjusted for accretion of discounts or amortization of premiums, computed by the interest method. The adjusted cost of the specific security sold is used to compute the gains or losses on the sale. LOANS Loans are reported net of unearned income. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balances. Loan and commitment fees are deferred and recognized over the loan and/or commitment period as yield adjustments. ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES Management determines the adequacy of the allowance based on evaluations of the loan portfolio and related off-balance sheet commitments, recent loss experience, and other pertinent factors, including economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates, including amounts of future cash collections expected on nonaccrual loans that may be susceptible to significant change. The allowance for credit losses relating to impaired loans is based on the loans' observable market price, the collateral for certain collateral-dependent loans, or the discounted cash flows using the loans' effective interest rate. The allowance is increased through provisions charged to operating earnings and reduced by net charge-offs. NONACCRUAL LOANS Generally loans (including impaired loans) are placed on nonaccrual status when the collection of interest or principal has become 90 days past due or is otherwise considered doubtful. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, unpaid interest is reversed. Future interest payments are generally applied against principal. LEASES Certain subsidiaries engage in both direct and leveraged lease financing. The net investment in direct financing leases is the sum of all minimum lease payments and estimated residual values, less unearned income and investment tax credits. Unearned income is added to interest income over the terms of the leases to produce a level yield. The investment in leveraged leases is the sum of all lease payments (less nonrecourse debt payments) plus estimated residual values, less unearned income. Unearned income is added to loan interest income over the positive years of the net investment. 6 U.S. Bancorp LOANS AND MORTGAGES HELD FOR SALE These loans are carried at the lower of cost or market value as determined on an aggregate basis by type of loan. OTHER REAL ESTATE Other real estate ("ORE"), which is included in other assets, is property acquired through foreclosure or other proceedings. ORE is initially recorded at fair value and carried at the lower of cost or fair value, less estimated selling costs. The property is evaluated regularly and any decreases in the carrying amount are included in noninterest expense. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS INTEREST RATE SWAPS AND CONTRACTS The Company uses interest rate swaps and contracts (forwards, options, caps and floors) to manage its interest rate risk, as a financial intermediary, and in its trading operations. The Company does not enter into these contracts for speculative purposes. Income or expense on swaps and contracts designated as hedges of assets, liabilities or commitments is recorded as an adjustment to interest income or expense. If the swap or contract is terminated, the gain or loss is deferred and amortized over the remaining life of the underlying asset or liability. If the hedged instrument is disposed of, the swap or contract agreement is marked to market with any resulting gain or loss included with the gain or loss from the disposition. The initial bid/offer spread on intermediated swaps is deferred and recognized in trading account profits and commissions over the life of the agreement. Intermediated swaps and all other interest rate contracts are marked to market and resulting gains or losses are recorded in trading account profits and commissions. OTHER SIGNIFICANT POLICIES BANK PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT Bank premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortized primarily on a straight-line method basis. Capital leases, less accumulated amortization, are included in bank premises and equipment. The lease obligations are included in long-term debt. Capitalized leases are amortized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and the amortization is included in depreciation expense. INTANGIBLE ASSETS Goodwill, the price paid over the book value of acquired businesses, is included in other assets and is amortized over periods ranging up to 25 years. Other intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives, which range from seven to fifteen years, using straight-line and accelerated methods, as appropriate. INCOME TAXES Deferred taxes are recorded to reflect the tax consequences on future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and the financial reporting amounts at each year-end. STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS For the purposes of reporting cash flows, cash equivalents include cash and due from banks and federal funds sold. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION The Company grants stock options for a fixed number of shares to employees with an exercise price equal to the fair value of the shares at the date of grant. The Company accounts for stock option grants in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and accordingly recognizes no compensation expense for the stock option grants. PER SHARE CALCULATIONS Primary earnings per share is computed by dividing net income (less preferred stock dividends) by the average number of common shares and dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding during the year. To compute the dilutive effect of restricted common shares, the treasury stock method is applied to the unvested portion of the shares granted and the related unamortized expense. Fully diluted earnings per share computations assume the conversion of the Series 1991A preferred stock during the period that the stock was outstanding. NOTE B ACCOUNTING CHANGES ACCOUNTING FOR THE IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS AND FOR LONG-LIVED ASSETS TO BE DISPOSED OF Effective January 1, 1996, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of," which requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset is not recoverable. During 1996, the Company recorded a $24.1 million adjustment to the carrying value of certain bank premises following a decision to sell several buildings in connection with the streamlining of the branch distribution network. See Note L for further discussion. The Company also performed an evaluation of those intangible assets not covered by SFAS 121 and recorded a charge of $29.5 million to reduce the carrying value of credit card holder and core deposit intangibles to their fair value. The Company performed this analysis of the fair value following its reassessment of business alternatives for a segment of its credit card portfolio and a change in the mix of deposits at certain acquired entities, respectively. ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION SFAS 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," establishes a new fair value based accounting method for stock-based compensation plans. As permitted by the Statement, the Company continues to apply the accounting provisions of APB 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," in determining net income. Refer to Note M for the required pro forma disclosures had SFAS 123 been applied. U.S. Bancorp 7 ACCOUNTING FOR TRANSFERS AND SERVICING OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND EXTINGUISHMENTS OF LIABILITIES SFAS 125, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities," addresses whether the transfer of financial assets should be accounted for as a sale and removed from the balance sheet, or as a financing recognized as a borrowing. The Statement uses a "financial components" approach which focuses on control to determine whether assets have been sold. If the entity has surrendered control over the transferred assets, the transaction is considered a sale. Control is considered surrendered only if the seller has no legal right to the assets, even in bankruptcy; the buyer has the right to pledge or exchange the assets; and the seller does not maintain effective control over the assets through an agreement to repurchase or redeem them. SFAS 125 is effective for transactions occurring after December 31, 1996, and is to be applied prospectively, with earlier or retroactive application not permitted. The adoption of SFAS 125 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company. NOTE C BUSINESS COMBINATIONS AND DIVESTITURES U.S. BANCORP On August 1, 1997, First Bank System, Inc. ("FBS") issued 109.9 million common shares to acquire U.S. Bancorp ("USBC") and amended its Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of common shares which it has authority to issue from 200 million shares to 500 million shares. As of the acquisition date, the combined institution, now known as U.S. Bancorp, had approximately $70 billion in assets, $49 billion in deposits and served nearly four million households and 475,000 businesses in 17 contiguous states from Illinois to Washington. The Company exchanged .755 shares of its common stock for each share of USBC common stock. USBC's outstanding stock options also were converted into stock options for the Company's common stock. In addition, each outstanding share of USBC cumulative preferred stock was converted into one share of preferred stock of the combined company having substantially identical terms. The transaction was accounted for as a pooling-of-interests. Accordingly, the Company's financial statements have been restated for all periods prior to the acquisition to include the accounts and operations of USBC. These supplemental financial statements, giving retroactive effect to the merger of USBC, will become the Company's historical financial statements upon issuance of its quarterly financial statements for the period ending September 30, 1997. Operating results of FBS and USBC individually, as previously reported, and the combined company, reflecting certain reclassifications to conform to the current presentation, for the three years ended December 31, 1996, were: Year ended December 31 ----------------------------- (In Millions) 1996 1995 1994 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FBS Net interest income . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .$1,533.0 $1,440.2 $1,419.4 Loss from discontinued operations . . . . . . . . -- -- 8.5 Net income. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 739.8 568.1 305.0 UBC Net interest income . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1,466.6 1,399.4 1,335.7 Net income. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 478.9 329.0 254.7 Combined Company Net interest income . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2,976.3 2,822.7 2,740.6 Loss from discontinued operations . . . . . . . . -- -- 8.5 Net income. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1,218.7 897.1 559.7 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALIFORNIA BANCSHARES, INC. On June 6, 1996, the Company acquired California Bancshares, Inc. ("CBI"), a holding company for a multi-bank commercial banking operation serving the East San Francisco Bay Area and the Central Valley of Northern California. CBI had $1.6 billion in assets and $1.4 billion in deposits. The total value of the transaction, accounted for as a purchase, was approximately $325 million. Pro forma results of operations have not been presented as the effects of the acquisition were not significant to the Company's 1996 results of operations. FIRSTIER FINANCIAL, INC. On February 16, 1996, the Company issued 16.5 million shares to complete its acquisition of Omaha-based FirsTier Financial, Inc. ("FirsTier"). FirsTier had $3.7 billion in assets, $2.9 billion in deposits, and 63 offices in Nebraska and Iowa. Under terms of the purchase agreement, the Company exchanged .8829 shares of its common stock for each common share of FirsTier. In addition, FirsTier's outstanding stock options were converted into stock options for the Company's common stock. The acquisition of FirsTier was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting, and accordingly, the purchase price of $717 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. Goodwill of $286 million will be amortized over an average of 24 years and core deposit intangibles of $63 million will be amortized over the estimated lives of the deposits of approximately 10 years. The results of operations of FirsTier have been included in the Company's Consolidated Statement of Income since the date of acquisition. Pro forma results of operations have not been presented as the effects of the acquisition were not significant to the Company's 1996 results of operations. 8 U.S. Bancorp CORPORATE TRUST BUSINESSES During the fourth quarter of 1995 and the first quarter of 1996 the Company acquired the corporate trust business of BankAmerica Corporation. After the acquisition, the Company became one of the nation's leading providers of domestic corporate trust services. On January 31, 1997, the Company completed its acquisition of the bond indenture services and paying agency business of Comerica Incorporated. This business serves approximately 860 municipal and corporate clients with about 2,400 bond issues. WEST ONE BANCORP In December 1995, the Company acquired West One Bancorp ("West One"), a regional financial services company headquartered in Boise, Idaho. West One had $9.2 billion in assets, $7.0 billion in deposits and 227 branches in Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Utah. The transaction was accounted for as a pooling-of-interests. Accordingly, the Company's financial statements have been restated for all periods prior to the acquisition to include the accounts and operations of West One. SALE OF MORTGAGE BANKING OPERATIONS, BRANCHES AND OTHER ASSETS During 1996, the Company sold its servicing and mortgage loan production business to three parties. Bank of America, fsb, a subsidiary of BankAmerica Corporation, purchased approximately $14 billion in mortgage servicing rights. Columbia National, Inc., of Maryland, and Knutson Mortgage Co., of Minnesota, agreed to purchase the Company's loan production business. The Company now delivers mortgage loan products through bank branches and telemarketing. These transactions resulted in a net gain of $45.8 million. In addition, the Company recognized $3.0 million of net losses on credit card portfolio sales during 1996. In addition, gains in 1995 included: a $31.0 million gain on the sale of 63 branches; a $5.5 million gain on the sale of affinity card portfolios; and, a $3.0 million gain on sales of adjustable-rate mortgage loans and student loans. As part of the regulatory approval process for the West One acquisition, the Company divested 31 branches during 1996, primarily in Oregon, with deposits of approximately $700 million and loans of approximately $400 million. The Company recognized a pre-tax gain of $28.8 million related to this transaction. FIRST INTERSTATE BANCORP On November 6, 1995, the Company and First Interstate Bancorp ("First Interstate") announced that they had entered into a definitive agreement whereby the Company would exchange 2.6 shares of its common stock for each share of First Interstate common stock. On January 24, 1996, First Interstate announced that it had terminated the merger agreement with the Company and had entered into a definitive agreement with Wells Fargo & Company ("Wells Fargo"). Under the terms of a settlement agreement, the Company received $125 million on January 24, 1996. The Company received an additional $75 million on April 1, 1996, upon consummation of the merger of First Interstate and Wells Fargo. In addition, all litigation among the parties related to the acquisition of First Interstate has been settled. The Company incurred transaction costs of approximately $10 million in connection with the proposed merger. METROPOLITAN FINANCIAL CORPORATION On January 24, 1995, the Company issued 21.7 million shares to complete its merger with Metropolitan Financial Corporation ("MFC"). The regional financial services holding company, headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota, had approximately $7.9 billion in assets and $5.5 billion in deposits. MFC's 211 offices were principally located in North Dakota, Minnesota, Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas, South Dakota, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. The Company used the pooling-of-interests method to account for the transaction. Accordingly, the Company's financial statements for all periods have been restated to include MFC's accounts and operations. OTHER ACQUISITIONS Effective January 1, 1997, the Company completed its acquisition of the $70 million Sun Capital Bancorp of St. George, Utah. Effective April 30, 1997, the Company completed its acquisition of the $214 million Business and Professional Bank of Sacramento, California. These transactions were accounted for as purchase acquisitions. During 1995, the Company acquired several smaller financial institutions in its existing markets, all of which further strengthen the Company's retail banking franchise. These acquisitions, accounted for as purchases, were not material to the financial condition or operating results of the Company. These acquisitions include the November 1, 1995, acquisition of two commercial bank holding companies - Midwestern Services, Inc. and Southwest Holdings, Inc. - both of Omaha, Nebraska. Together, the two companies had total assets of $424 million, total deposits of $380 million, and 12 branches in Omaha. In addition, on March 16, 1995, the Company acquired First Western Corporation, parent company of Western Bank, with $317 million in assets, $267 million in deposits, and nine branches in and around Sioux Falls, South Dakota. SALE OF EDINA REALTY, INC. On December 8, 1995, the Company sold Edina Realty, Inc., its real estate brokerage subsidiary, to a local investor group. The subsidiary was accounted for as discontinued operations. Edina's assets, liabilities and cash flows were not material to the Company's financial statements and were not segregated.

Certain directors and executive officers of the Company, including their immediate families, companies in which they are principal owners, and trusts in which they are involved, are loan customers of the Company and its subsidiaries. These loans were made in the ordinary course of business at the subsidiaries' normal credit terms, including interest rate and collateralization, and were all current as to their terms at December 31, 1996, and 1995. The aggregate dollar amounts of these loans were $34.1 million and $33.1 million at December 31, 1996, and 1995, respectively. During 1996, additions totaled $67.3 million and repayments totaled $66.3 million. Nonaccrual and renegotiated loans totaled $269 million, $248 million, and $370 million at December 31, 1996, 1995, and 1994, respectively. At December 31, 1996, and 1995, the Company had $201 million and $173 million, respectively, in loans considered impaired under SFAS 114 included in its nonaccrual loans. The carrying value of the impaired loans was less than or equal to the present value of expected future cash flows and, accordingly, no allowance for credit losses was specifically allocated to impaired loans. For the years ended December 31, 1996, and 1995, the average recorded investment in impaired loans was approximately $176 million and $220 million, respectively. The effect of nonaccrual and renegotiated loans on interest income was as follows: Year Ended December 31 -------------------------- (In Millions) 1996 1995 1994 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Interest income that would have been accrued at original contractual rates. . . . . . . . . . . . $ 32.3 $ 29.5 $ 34.5 Amount recognized as interest income . . . . . . . . . 7.5 6.3 9.7 -------------------------- Forgone revenue. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $ 24.8 $ 23.2 $ 24.8 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Commitments to lend additional funds to customers whose loans were classified as nonaccrual or renegotiated at December 31, 1996, totaled $45.0 million.

The Trust entered into a call option, pursuant to which the call holder has the right to purchase the notes from the Trust at par on November 15, 1999. If the call is exercised, the notes would become fixed rate obligations due in 2006. If the call holder does not exercise the call options, the Company is required to redeem the notes immediately thereafter. The interest rate adjusts quarterly at .15 percent over the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") for three month United States dollar deposits. At December 31, 1996, the interest rate was 5.71 percent. The floating-rate subordinated notes due November 30, 2010, may be redeemed at par at the Company's option. The annual interest rate for each quarterly period is one-eighth of 1 percent above LIBOR for three-month Eurodollar deposits, subject to a minimum of 5.25 percent. At December 31, 1996, the interest rate was 5.69 percent. The step-up subordinated notes due August 15, 2005, are issued by the Company's subsidiary bank, First Bank National Association, now known as U.S. Bank National Association, (the "Bank"). The interest rate on these notes is 6.25 percent through August 14, 2000, and 7.30 percent thereafter. The notes have a one-time call feature at the option of the Bank on August 15, 2000. The medium-term notes outstanding at December 31, 1996, mature from March 1997 through April 2001. The notes bear floating interest rates ranging from 5.53 percent to 7.44 percent. The weighted average interest rate at December 31, 1996, was 6.09 percent. The Federal Home Loan Bank advances outstanding at December 31, 1996, mature from January 1997 through October 2026. The advances bear fixed or floating interest rates ranging from 4.93 percent to 9.11 percent. The weighted average interest rate at December 31, 1996, was 5.73 percent. The bank notes outstanding at December 31, 1996, mature from July 1997 through March 2001. The notes bear fixed or floating interest rates ranging from 5.53 percent to 6.38 percent.

The Trusts used the net proceeds from the offerings to purchase a like amount of Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debentures (the "Debentures") of the Company. The Debentures are the sole assets of the Trusts and are eliminated, along with the related income statement effects, in the consolidated financial statements. The Company used the proceeds from the sales of the Debentures for general corporate purposes. The Preferred Securities accrue and pay distributions periodically at a specified annual rate (8.18 percent average rate) as provided in the Indentures. The Company's obligations under the Debentures and related documents, taken together, constitute a full and unconditional guarantee by the Company of the obligations of the Trusts. The guarantee covers the distributions and payments on liquidation or redemption of the Preferred Securities, but only to the extent of funds held by the Trusts. The Preferred Securities are mandatorily redeemable upon the maturity of the Debentures, or upon earlier redemption as provided in the Indentures. The Company has the right to redeem the Debentures, in whole (but not in part), on or after specific dates, at a redemption price specified in the Indentures plus any accrued but unpaid interest to the redemption date. The terms of the Debentures at December 31, 1996 were as follows: (Dollars in Millions) - --------------------------------------------------------------- Aggregate Annual Early Redemption Principal of Interest Rate Maturity Date Date of Debentures of Debentures of Debentures Debentures - --------------------------------------------------------------- $309 8.09% 11/15/26 11/15/06 309 8.27 12/15/26 12/15/06 - --------------------------------------------------------------- - --------------------------------------------------------------- U.S. Bancorp 13 NOTE K SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY COMMON STOCK At December 31, 1996, the Company had 15,114,661 shares of common stock reserved for future issuances under the Dividend Reinvestment Plan, Employee Stock Purchase Plan, and the Stock Option Plans (see Note M). In connection with the acquisition of USBC, the number of authorized common shares for the Company was increased from 200 million shares to 500 million shares. The Company completed several acquisitions since 1994 with common shares issued in exchange for the stock of the acquired banks. (See Note C). Approximately 26.1 million shares have been repurchased under 1996 Board authorizations of which 13.6 million shares were retired. The Board of Directors rescinded these authorizations on March 19, 1997, due to the announcement of the USBC acquisition. Under previous authorizations, the Company repurchased 16.9 million shares in 1995. Approximately 5.8 million common shares sold through private placements in July 1990 remain outstanding. Periodic stock purchase rights ("PSPRs") and risk event warrants were also issued in such private placements. The PSPRs become exercisable if the Company fails to pay quarterly dividends equal to at least $.205 per share of common stock in any twelve-month period between July 1990 and July 2000. Upon exercise, PSPR holders will receive cash or the Company's common or preferred shares equal to the dividend shortfall. The risk event warrants become exercisable when a change in control occurs and the value received by common shareholders is less than $13.875 per share. If exercised, the Company has the option to pay warrant holders the shortfall in cash, common or preferred stock. The Company's Dividend Reinvestment Plan provides for automatic reinvestment of dividends and optional cash purchases of up to $5,000 worth of additional shares per calendar quarter at market price. PREFERRED STOCK The Company has seven classes of cumulative preferred stock, with 10 million shares authorized. Since 1992, the Company has redeemed or called the four classes of $1.00 par value cumulative preferred stock and redeemed both classes of $.01 par value cumulative preferred stock. On November 29, 1996, the Company called the remaining 1,543,025 shares of its Series 1991A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock. As a result, at December 31, 1996 (the redemption date), all remaining shares had been redeemed or converted into common stock. Prior to conversion, dividends on the Series 1991A shares, which had a $1.00 par value, were 7.125 percent per year. In January 1995, the Company redeemed for $27.00 per share in cash, plus accumulated and unpaid dividends, 488,750 shares of Series B, $2.875 Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock. Dividends on the Series B shares, which had a $.01 par value, were $2.875 per share prior to redemption. The 8 1/8% Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series A was not redeemable prior to July 23, 1997. On or after such date, the Series A Preferred Stock will be redeemable, in whole or part, at the option of the Company at a liquidating preference of $25 per share plus accrued and unpaid dividends. Under current regulations, the Company may not exercise its option to redeem Series A Preferred Stock without prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board. The preferred dividend requirement used in the calculation of earnings per common share was $12.2 million for the years 1996, 1995 and 1994. NOTE L MERGER, INTEGRATION AND RESIZING CHARGES The Company recorded merger, integration and resizing charges of $88.1 million, $98.9 million and $166.2 million in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Merger and integration charges of $49.5 million recorded in 1996 were associated with the acquisitions of FirsTier, the BankAmerica corporate trust business, and West One Bancorp. Resizing charges of $38.6 million were associated with the Company's streamlining of the branch distribution network and trust operations as the Company expands its alternative distribution channels, including telemarketing, automated teller machines and in-store branches. Merger and integration charges recorded in 1995 were associated with the acquisition of West One Bancorp. Merger and integration charges of $66.2 million recorded in 1994 were associated with the acquisition of MFC. Also, in 1994, charges of $100 million were recorded in connection with the consolidation and integration of certain operations and facilities. The components of the charges are shown below: Year Ended December 31 -------------------------- (In Millions) 1996 1995 1994 - ------------------------------------------------------------------ Systems conversions and related expenses . . . . . . . . $ 33.3 $ 47.2 $ 96.5 Premises writedowns . . . . . . . . 27.4 22.3 37.0 Severance . . . . . . . . . . . . . 27.4 29.4 32.7 -------------------------- Total merger, integration and resizing charges $ 88.1 $ 98.9 $166.2 - ------------------------------------------------------------------ - ------------------------------------------------------------------ 14 U.S. Bancorp Systems conversions and related expenses were associated with the preparation and mailing of numerous customer communications for the acquisitions and conversion of customer accounts, printing and distribution of training materials and policy and procedure manuals, outside consulting fees, and similar expenses related to the conversions and integration of acquired branches and operations. Premises writedowns represent write-offs for redundant office space, equipment and branches. The writedowns recorded in 1996 include valuation adjustments associated with the planned sale of bank-owned properties as the Company consolidates and reduces the space requirements of the branch facilities. Severance charges included the cost of terminations, other benefits, and outplacement costs associated with the elimination of employees primarily in branch offices and in centralized corporate support and data processing functions. The following table presents a summary of activity with respect to the Company's merger, integration and resizing accrual: Year Ended December 31 (In Millions) 1996 - --------------------------------------------------------- Balance at December 31, 1995. . . . . . . . . $ 100.2 Provision charged to operating expense. . . . 88.1 Cash outlays. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

(40.3) ------- Balance at December 31, 1996. . . . . . . . . $ 33.6 - --------------------------------------------------------- - --------------------------------------------------------- In December 1994, the Company recorded a $111.2 million loss on the sale of $1.6 billion of securities in January 1995 as a result of MFC's actions to reduce interest rate risk consistent with prior regulatory requests and to align more closely the interest rate risk profile of MFC with that of the Company. The Company also recorded an additional provision for credit losses of $16.5 million and a $56.5 million severance-related charge related to MFC's pre-existing change in control plan. A provision for other real estate reserves of $2.6 million was also recorded to provide for the Company's strategy of accelerated disposition of problem assets. In connection with the acquisition of USBC, the Company expects to incur pre-tax merger-related costs of $625 million ($450 million after tax). The costs include severance and retention, conversion costs (primarily system development and production costs, and customer forms and communication costs), occupancy expenses (primarily lease exit costs), writedowns of duplicate facilities and other capitalized assets, and other merger costs (principally legal and investment banking fees). NOTE M EMPLOYEE BENEFITS PENSION PLAN Pension benefits are provided to substantially all employees based on years of service and employees' compensation while employed with the Company. Employees are fully vested after five years of service. The Company's funding policy is to contribute amounts to its plans sufficient to meet the minimum funding requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, plus such additional amounts as the Company determines to be appropriate. The actuarial cost method used to compute the pension contribution is the projected unit credit method. Prior to their acquisition dates, employees of acquired companies were covered by separate, noncontributory pension plans that provided benefits based on years of service and compensation. As of December 31, 1996, the Company has merged the acquired companies' plans into its own plan with the exception of the MFC and FirsTier plans, which are expected to be merged in 1997, and the USBC and West One plans, which are expected to be merged in 1999. The funded status and income statement effects of the MFC, USBC and West One plans have been combined with the Company's plan for all years in the table below and FirsTier in 1996 only.

Nearly all employees may become eligible for health care benefits at or after age 55 if they have completed at least five years of service and their age plus years of service is equal to or exceeds 65 while working for the Company. The Company subsidizes the cost of coverage for employees who retire before age 65 with at least 10 years of service. The amount of the subsidy is based on the employee's age and service at the time of retirement and remains frozen until the retiree reaches age 65. After age 65 the retiree assumes responsibility for the full cost of the coverage. The plan also contains other cost-sharing features such as deductibles and coinsurance. The Company continues to subsidize the coverage for employees over age 65 who retired before a plan change eliminated such subsidy. The Company accrues the estimated cost of retiree benefit payments, other than pensions, during the employees' active service and in prior years funded the postretirement benefit costs as they were incurred. In 1996, the Company funded the tax deductible portion of its outstanding liability. USBC also had a post-retirement health care plan. The funded status and statement effects of the plan have been aggregated with the Company's plan as of December 31, in the following table: 16 U.S. Bancorp Year Ended December 31 (In Millions) 1996 1995 1994 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Accumulated postretirement benefit obligation: Retirees . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $(136.0) $(141.3) $(146.8) Fully eligible active plan participants. . . . . . . . .

For 1997 the annual rate of increase assumptions are 8.1 percent and 5.5 percent, respectively. Both rates were assumed to decrease gradually to 5.5 percent by 2004 and remain at that level thereafter. Trends in health care costs have a significant effect on the amounts reported. For example, increasing the health care cost trend rate assumptions by 1 percent each year increases the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation as of December 31, 1996, by $12.7 million. In addition, the aggregate of the service and interest cost components of net periodic postretirement benefit cost for the year then ended would increase by $1.2 million. The weighted average discount rate used in determining the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation was 7.5 percent for USB and 7.8 percent for USBC as of December 31, 1996, and 7.0 percent for USB and 7.3 percent for USBC at December 31, 1995. STOCK INCENTIVE AND PURCHASE PLANS The Company has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB 25") in accounting for its employee stock incentive and purchase plans. Under APB 25, because the exercise price of the Company's employee stock options equals the market price of the underlying stock on the date of the grant, no compensation expense is recognized. On the date exercised, the option proceeds equal to the par value of the shares are credited to common stock and additional proceeds are credited to capital surplus. The 1984 Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP"), as amended in 1989, 1991 and 1996, permits all eligible employees with at least one year of service and directors to purchase common stock. Plan participants can purchase stock for 85 percent to 100 percent of the fair market value, which is based on the price at the beginning or the end of the purchase period, whichever is lower. Any discount is determined by a committee of the Board of Directors. In 1996, the purchase price was 85 percent of fair market value. The plan results in no compensation expense to the Company. On July 31, 1997, the shareholders approved the 1997 Stock Incentive Plan ("1997 Plan") whereby all former stock incentive plans of FBS and USBC were incorporated into the 1997 Plan. All outstanding options, restricted stock and other awards subject to the terms of the former FBS and USBC stock incentive plans will remain outstanding and subject to the terms and conditions of those plans but are counted as part of the total number of common shares awarded under the 1997 Plan, subject, in the case of the former USBC plans, to adjustments reflecting the conversion of USBC common stock into common stock of the Company. An additional 6 million shares were authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors under the 1997 Plan to meet the needs of the Company over approximately the next two years. The 1997 Plan allows for the granting of nonqualified stock options, incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights ("SARs"), restricted stock or stock units ("RSUs"), performance awards, and other stock-based awards at or above 100 percent of the market price at the date of grant. The 1997 Plan also provides automatic grants of stock options to nonemployee directors. The rights of restricted stock and RSU holders to transfer shares are generally limited during the restriction period. At July 31, 1997, and December 31, 1996, there were approximately 9 million shares and 7 million shares (subject to adjustment for forfeitures), available for grant under the Plans. Options granted are generally exercisable up to 10 years from the date of grant and vest over three to five years. Restricted shares vest over three to seven years. The vesting of certain options and restricted shares are subject to acceleration based on the performance of the Company in comparison to the performance of a predetermined group of regional banks. Compensation expense for restricted stock is based on the market price U.S. Bancorp 17 of the Company stock at the time of the grant and amortized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. For the performance-based restricted shares, compensation expense is amortized using the estimated vesting period. Compensation expense related to the restricted stock was $4.9 million, $3.4 million and $1.5 million in 1996, 1995, and 1994. The stock incentive plans of acquired companies were terminated at the respective closing dates. Option holders under such plans received the Company's common stock, or options to buy the Company's common stock, based on the conversion terms of the various merger agreements. The historical option information presented below has been restated to reflect the options originally granted under the acquired companies' plans.

For options outstanding at December 31, 1996, the exercise prices ranged from $7.29 to $73.00, with a weighted average remaining contractual life of 7.9 years. Pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share is required by SFAS 123, "Accounting and Disclosure of Stock-Based Compensation" and has been determined as if the Company had accounted for its employee stock option and stock purchase plans ("options") under the fair value method of that Statement. The fair value of the options was estimated at the grant date using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. Option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions. Because the Company's employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management's opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options. The following weighted average assumptions were used in the valuation model: risk-free interest rates of 6.2 percent and 6.1 percent in 1996 and 1995; dividend yield of 3.2 percent in both 1996 and 1995; stock price volatility factors of .20 and .18 in 1996 and 1995; and, expected life of options of 4.3 years and 3.2 years in 1996 and 1995, respectively. The pro forma disclosures include options granted in 1996 and 1995 and are not likely to be representative of the pro forma disclosures for future years. The estimated fair value of the options is amortized to expense over the options' vesting period.

At December 31, 1996, for income tax purposes, the Company had federal net operating loss carryforwards of $29.5 million available, which expire in year 2009. In addition, the Company had state net operating loss carryforwards of $43.7 million available, primarily in one taxing jurisdiction. These carryforwards expire in years 2006 through 2008. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities reflect the tax effect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for the same items for income tax reporting purposes.

In determining that realization of the deferred tax asset was more likely than not, the Company gave consideration to a number of factors, including its recent earnings history, its expectations for earnings in the future and, where applicable, the expiration dates associated with tax carryforwards. The Company's valuation allowance decreased $3.3 million from December 31, 1995, to December 31, 1996, due to utilization of net operating losses. - ------ NOTE O FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK AND CREDIT - ------ CONCENTRATIONS In the normal course of business, the Company uses various off-balance sheet financial instruments to meet the financing needs of its customers and to manage its interest rate risk. These instruments carry varying degrees of credit, interest rate or liquidity risk. The contract or notional amounts of these financial instruments at December 31, 1996, and 1995, were as follows: (In Millions) 1996 1995 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Commitments to extend credit . . . . . . . . . . $57,107 $40,876 Letters of credit: Standby. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2,634 2,486 Commercial . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 355 308 Interest rate swap contracts: Hedges . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3,651 4,307 Intermediated. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 590 406 Options contracts: Hedge interest rate floors purchased . . . . . 1,250 1,250 Hedge interest rate caps purchased . . . . . . 100 200 Intermediated interest rate and foreign exchange caps and floors purchased . . . . . 134 178 Intermediated interest rate and foreign exchange caps and floors written . . . . . . 169 236 Liquidity support guarantees . . . . . . . . . . 81 142 Forward contracts. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 197 449 Commitments to sell loans. . . . . . . . . . . . 3 223 Mortgages sold with recourse . . . . . . . . . . 114 242 Foreign currency commitments: Commitments to purchase. . . . . . . . . . . . 952 867 Commitments to sell. . . . . . . . . . . . . . 953 853 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ COMMITMENTS TO EXTEND CREDIT Commitments to extend credit are legally binding and generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses. The contractual amount represents the Company's exposure to credit loss, in the event of default by the borrower. The Company manages this credit risk by using the same credit policies it applies to loans. Collateral is obtained to secure commitments based on management's credit assessment of the borrower. The collateral may include marketable securities, receivables, inventory, equipment, and real estate. Since the Company expects many of the commitments to expire without being drawn, total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent the Company's future liquidity requirements. In addition, the commitments include consumer credit lines that are cancelable upon notification to the consumer. LETTERS OF CREDIT Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments the Company issues to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The guarantees frequently support public and private borrowing arrangements, including commercial paper issuances, bond financings, and other similar transactions. The Company issues commercial letters of credit on behalf of customers to ensure payment or collection in connection with trade transactions. In the event of a customer's nonperformance, the Company's credit loss exposure is the same as in any extension of credit, up to the letter's contractual amount. Management assesses the borrower's credit to determine the necessary collateral, which may include marketable securities, real estate, accounts receivable, and inventory. Since the conditions requiring the Company to fund letters of credit may not occur, the Company expects its liquidity requirements to be less than the total outstanding commitments. INTEREST RATE OPTIONS AND SWAPS The Company's policy is to maintain a low interest rate risk position. The Company limits the exposure of net interest income to risks associated with interest rate movements through asset/liability management strategies. The Company's Asset and Liability Management Committee ("ALCO") uses three methods for measuring and managing interest rate risk. Taken together, these methods represent a comprehensive view of the magnitude of the Company's interest rate risk over various time intervals. The Company mitigates its interest rate risk by entering into off-balance sheet transactions (primarily interest rate swaps), investing in fixed rate assets or increasing variable rate liabilities. To a lesser degree, the Company also uses interest rate caps and floors to hedge this risk. The Company does not enter into derivative contracts for speculative purposes. 20 U.S. Bancorp Interest rate swaps are contracts to exchange fixed and floating rate interest payment obligations based on a notional principal amount. The Company enters into swaps to hedge its balance sheet against fluctuations in interest rates and as an intermediary for customers. At December 31, 1996, and 1995, interest rate swaps totaling $3.7 billion and $4.3 billion, respectively, hedged commercial loans, medium-term notes, subordinated debt, notes, wholesale certificates of deposit, deposit accounts, and savings certificates. The remaining maturity of these agreements ranges from 1 month to 10.7 years with an average remaining maturity of 3.4 years. Swaps increased net interest income for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995, and 1994 by $32.2 million, $16.8 million, and $64.6 million, respectively. Activity with respect to interest rate swap hedges was as follows: (In Millions) 1996 1995 1994 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Notional amount outstanding at beginning of year. . . . . . . . . . . . . $4,306.3 $3,894.3 $3,835.6 Additions. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 890.1 1,209.3 1,862.0 Maturities . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Interest rate caps are also used to minimize the impact of fluctuating interest rates on earnings. Counterparties of these agreements pay the Company when certain short-term rates rise above a specified point or strike level. The payment is based on the difference in current rates and strike rates and the contract's notional amount. The total notional amount of cap agreements purchased at December 31, 1996, was $100 million with a 3-month LIBOR strike rate of 6.00 percent. The total notional amount of cap agreements purchased at December 31, 1995, was $200 million with a 3-month LIBOR strike rate of 6.00 percent. The premium on caps is amortized over the life of the contract. The impact of the caps on net interest income was not material for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994. To hedge against falling interest rates, the Company uses interest rate floors. Floor counterparties pay the Company when specified rates fall below the strike level. Like caps, the payment is based on the difference in current rates and strike rates and the notional amount. At December 31, 1996, and 1995, LIBOR based interest rate floors totaling $950 million with an average remaining maturity of 1.0 years and 2.0 years, respectively, hedged floating rate commercial loans. The strike rate on these LIBOR based floors ranged from 3.25 percent to 4.00 percent at December 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995. At December 31, 1996, and 1995, Constant Maturity Treasury (CMT) interest rate floors totaling $300 million with an average remaining maturity of 18 months and 9 months, respectively, hedged the repayment risk of fixed rate residential mortgage loans. The strike rate on these CMT floors ranged from 5.60 percent to 5.70 percent at December 31, 1996, and from 6.25 percent to 6.36 percent at December 31, 1995. The impact of the floors on net interest income was not material for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995, and 1994. In addition to utilizing swaps and options as part of its asset/liability management strategy, the Company acts as an intermediary for swap and option agreements on behalf of its customers. To reduce its market risk exposure, the Company enters into generally matching or offsetting positions. The total notional amount of customer swap agreements, including the offsetting positions, was $590 million and $406 million at December 31, 1996, and 1995, respectively. The total dollar amount of futures used to offset customer swap agreements was $98.4 million and $693.0 million at December 31, 1996, and 1995, respectively. Open futures contracts at December 31, 1996, had maturities ranging from 1997 to 2005. Market value changes on futures contracts that are designated as trading hedges are recognized in income in the period of change. Realized losses on futures used for hedging trading swaps and options were not material for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995, and 1994. The total notional amount of customer option agreements, including the offsetting positions, was $303 million and $414 million at December 31, 1996, and 1995, respectively. Interest rate swap and option contracts will result in gains and losses subsequent to the date of the contract, due to interest rate movements. For customer intermediated swaps and options, the Company records these gains and losses as they occur in trading income. For swaps and options used as hedges, the Company recognizes gains or losses by adjusting interest income or expense over the terms of the hedge. The gain or loss on a terminated hedge is amortized over the life of the original swap or the life of the hedged item, whichever is shorter. The amortization of deferred gains and losses increased net interest income by $.3 million and $6.1 million during 1996, and 1995, respectively. Net unamortized deferred gains were $3.3 million at December 31, 1996. The Company will amortize these net gains through the year 2006. The credit risk related to interest rate swap and option agreements is that counterparties may be unable to meet the contractual terms. The Company estimates this risk by calculating the present value of the cost to replace all outstanding contracts in a gain position at current market rates, reported on a net basis by counterparty. At December 31, 1996, and U.S. Bancorp 21 1995, the gain position of these contracts, in the aggregate, was approximately $51 million and $132 million, respectively. The Company manages the credit risk of its interest rate swap and option contracts through credit approvals, limits, bilateral collateral agreements, and monitoring procedures. Commercial lending officers perform credit analyses to establish counterparty limits. Senior management approves counterparty limits and periodically reviews the limits to monitor compliance. In addition, the Company reduces the assumed counterparty credit risk through master netting agreements that permit the Company to settle interest rate contracts with the same counterparty on a net basis. LIQUIDITY SUPPORT GUARANTEES Through liquidity support guarantees, the Company agrees to provide market support for its customers' commercial paper or tax-exempt bonds. These contracts are secured by notes receivable, bonds or private insurance, guaranteeing payment of principal and interest on any unreimbursed funds advanced. Since the conditions that require the Company to fund the guarantees may not occur, total guarantee amounts do not necessarily represent the Company's future funding obligation. FORWARD CONTRACTS AND COMMITMENTS TO SELL MORTGAGE LOANS Forward contracts are agreements for the delayed delivery of securities or cash settlement money market instruments. The Company enters into these contracts to hedge the interest rate risk of its mortgage loans held for sale. At December 31, 1996, and 1995, forward contracts outstanding were $197 million and $449 million, respectively. At December 31, 1996, net unamortized deferred gains on the forward agreements were not material. The Company manages its credit risk on forward contracts, which arises from nonperformance by counterparties, through credit approval and limit procedures.The Company is committed under agreements to sell mortgage loans pursuant to master delivery commitments. The remaining balance on those commitments was $3 million at December 31, 1996, and $223 million at December 31, 1995. MORTGAGES SOLD WITH RECOURSE The Company is obligated under recourse provisions related to the sale of certain residential mortgages. The contract amount of these mortgages, excluding the Government National Mortgage Association ("GNMA") agreements, was $114 million at December 31, 1996, and $172 million at December 31, 1995. Mortgages sold with recourse under sale/servicing agreements with GNMA totaled $6 million at December 31, 1996, and $700 million at December 31, 1995. The Company has secondary recourse obligations under these agreements, but the liability is not material. FOREIGN CURRENCY COMMITMENTS The Company uses foreign currency commitments to help customers reduce the risks associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Through these contracts, the Company exchanges currencies at specified rates on specified dates with various counterparties. The Company minimizes the market and liquidity risks by taking offsetting positions. In addition, the Company controls the market risks by limiting the net exposure through policies, procedures, and monitoring. The Company manages its credit risk, or potential risk of loss from default by a counterparty, through credit limit approval and monitoring procedures. The aggregate replacement cost of contracts in a gain position at December 31, 1996, was not significant. CREDIT CONCENTRATIONS The Company primarily lends to borrowers in the 17 states where it has banking offices. Approximately 90 percent of the Company's commercial loans were made to borrowers in this operating region representing a diverse range of industries. Collateral may include marketable securities, accounts receivable, inventory, and equipment. For detail of the Company's real estate portfolio by property type and geography as of December 31, 1996, and 1995, see Table 9 on page 42. This information is incorporated by reference into these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Such loans are collateralized by the related property. Approximately 90 percent of the total consumer portfolio consists of loans to customers in the Company's operating region. Residential mortgages, home equity, and auto loans are secured, but other consumer loans are generally not secured. For detail of the Company's consumer loan portfolio referenced here, see Table 8 on page 42 under the category "Consumer" as of December 31, 1996, and 1995, which is incorporated by reference into these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. - ------ NOTE P FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS - ------ SFAS 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments," requires the disclosure of the fair value, where practically estimable, of all financial instruments, both on and off balance sheet. Financial instruments are generally defined as cash, equity instruments or investments, and contractual obligations to pay or receive cash or another financial instrument. The Statement indicates that quoted market prices are the preferred means of estimating value. When market quotes are unavailable, valuation techniques including discounted cash flow calculations and pricing models or services should be used. Due to the nature of its business and its customers' needs, the Company offers a large number of financial instruments, most of which are not actively traded. Accordingly, the Company uses several valuation techniques and aggregation methods for valuing various products. The Company also uses various assumptions, such as the discount rate and cash flow timing and amounts. As a result, the fair value estimates can neither be substantiated by independent market comparisons, nor realized by the immediate sale or settlement of the financial instrument. Also, the estimates reflect a point in time and 22 U.S. Bancorp could change significantly based on changes in economic factors, such as interest rates. Furthermore, the required disclosures exclude the estimated values of certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial instrument cash flows. Finally, the fair value disclosure is not intended to estimate a market value of the Company as a whole. A summary of the Company's valuation techniques and assumptions follows. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS: The carrying value of cash, federal funds sold, and securities under resale agreements was assumed to approximate fair value. SECURITIES: Generally, trading securities, held-to-maturity securities and available-for-sale securities were valued using available market quotes. In some instances, for securities that are not widely traded, market quotes for comparable securities were used. LOANS: The loan portfolio consists of both variable and fixed rate loans, the fair value of which was estimated using discounted cash flow analyses and other valuation techniques. To calculate discounted cash flows, the loans were aggregated into pools of similar types and expected repayment terms. The expected cash flows were reduced for estimated historical prepayment experience. Projected cash flows on nonaccrual loans were further reduced by the amount of the estimated losses on the portfolio and discounted over an assumed average remaining life of one to two years. CORE DEPOSIT INTANGIBLE: Core deposits provide a stable, low-cost source of funds that can be invested to earn a return that exceeds their cost. The fair value of the Company's core deposit intangible was calculated using a discounted cash flow model that estimates the present value of the difference between the ongoing cost of the core deposits and alternative funds at current market rates. This is the same method that the Company uses in calculating the value of the core deposit intangible of an acquired bank. DEPOSIT LIABILITIES: The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts, and certain money market deposits is equal to the amount payable on demand at year-end. Fair values for fixed rate certificates of deposit were estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis based on the discount rates of the high-grade corporate bond yield curve. SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS: Federal funds purchased, borrowings under repurchase agreements, and other short-term borrowings are at variable rates or have short-term maturities. Their carrying value is assumed to approximate their fair value. LONG-TERM DEBT: Medium-term notes, Bank Notes, Federal Home Loan Bank Advances, capital lease obligations, and mortgage note obligations totaled $3,094 million in 1996 and $2,853 million in 1995. Their estimated fair value was determined using a discounted cash flow analysis based on current market rates of similar maturity debt securities to discount cash flows. Other long-term debt instruments were valued using available market quotes. LOAN COMMITMENTS, LETTERS OF CREDIT AND GUARANTEES: The Company's commitments have variable rates and do not expose the Company to interest rate risk. No premium or discount was ascribed to the loan commitments because virtually all funding would be at current market rates. INTEREST RATE SWAPS, OPTIONS, FLOORS, AND CAPS: The interest rate options and swap cash flows were estimated using a third party pricing model and discounted based on appropriate LIBOR, Eurodollar future, and Treasury Note yield curves. U.S. Bancorp 23 The estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments are shown in the table below. 1996 1995 ----------------------------------------------- Carrying Fair Carrying Fair (In Millions) Amount Value Amount Value - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FINANCIAL ASSETS: Cash and due from banks. . . . . . . . . . $ 4,813 $ 4,813 $ 4,253 $ 4,253 Federal funds sold and resale agreements . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 898 898 771 771 Trading account securities . . . . . . . . 231 231 366 366 Held to maturity securities. . . . . . . . 797 811 865 886 Available-for-sale securities. . . . . . . 6,473 6,473 6,423 6,423 Loans: Commercial: Commercial. . . . . . . . . . . . . . 19,676 20,046 18,272 18,717 Leasing . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1,848 1,849 1,549 1,550 Commercial real estate and construction. . . . . . . . . . . . 10,157 10,851 8,380 9,066 Consumer: Residential mortgage. . . . . . . . . 4,953 4,964 6,722 6,801 Residential mortgage held for sale. . 148 148 343 343 Home equity and second mortgage . . . 4,917 5,166 4,011 4,202 Credit card and revolving lines . . . 5,153 5,433 4,908 5,283 Other consumer installment. . . . . . 5,503 5,586 5,160 5,243 Allowance for credit losses. . . . . . .

Federal law prohibits loans unless they are secured and generally limits any loan to the Company or individual affiliate to 10 percent of the bank's or thrift's equity. In aggregate, loans to the Company and all affiliates cannot exceed 20 percent of the bank's or thrift's equity. Dividend payments to the Company by its subsidiary banks and thrift are subject to regulatory review and statutory limitations and, in some instances, regulatory approval. The approval of the Comptroller of the Currency is required if total dividends by a national bank in any calendar year exceed the bank's net profits (as defined) for that year combined with its retained net profits for the preceding two calendar years or if the bank's retained earnings are less than zero. Furthermore, dividends are restricted by the Comptroller of the Currency's minimum capital constraints for all national banks. Within these guidelines, all bank subsidiaries have the ability to pay dividends without prior regulatory approval except one bank, which bank represented one percent of total assets at December 31, 1996. First Bank, fsb (the "Thrift") is required to give the Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS") 30-day notice prior to declaration of a cash dividend to the parent company. The Thrift's dividends to the parent company are generally limited to earnings in the calendar year plus 50 percent of the surplus capital (the percentage by which the Thrift's regulatory capital ratios exceed the minimum capital ratios required by the OTS) at the beginning of the year. In addition, dividends are restricted by the OTS's minimum capital constraints for all thrifts.

These supplemental financial statements are the responsibility of the management of U.S. Bancorp. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these supplemental financial statements based on our audits. We did not audit the financial statements of the former U.S. Bancorp which statements reflect total assets constituting 48% for 1996 and 48% for 1995 of the related supplemental consolidated financial statement totals, and which reflect net income constituting approximately 40% of the related supplemental consolidated financial statement totals for the three year period ended December 31, 1996. Those statements were audited by other auditors whose reports have been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to data included for the former U.S. Bancorp, is based solely on the reports of the other auditors. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits and the reports of other auditors provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other auditors, the supplemental financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of U.S. Bancorp at December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996, after giving retroactive effect to the merger of First Bank System, Inc. and the former U.S. Bancorp, as described in Note C to the supplemental consolidated financial statements, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. /s/ Ernst & Young LLP Minneapolis, Minnesota January 9, 1997 (except for the consolidation of First Bank System, Inc. and the former U.S. Bancorp, as to which the date is August 1, 1997) 28 U.S. Bancorp INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT To the Directors and Shareholders of U.S. Bancorp: We have audited the consolidated balance sheet of U.S. Bancorp ("USBC") as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996 (not presently separately herein). These financial statements are the responsibility of management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements based on our audits. The consolidated financial statements of USBC give retroactive effect to the merger of USBC and West One Bancorp and subsidiaries, which has been accounted for as a pooling-of-interests as described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements of USBC. We did not audit the consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders' equity, and cash flows of West One Bancorp and subsidiaries for the year ended December 31, 1994, which statements reflect net interest income and noninterest revenues of $471,214,000 for the year ended December 31, 1994. Those statements were audited by other auditors whose report has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for West One Bancorp and subsidiaries for 1994, is based solely on the report of such other auditors. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in financial statements.
