A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not, that some small portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Company previously established a valuation allowance for a portion of the operating loss carryforwards as a result of unresolved matters with taxing authorities. During 1993, certain tax issues were resolved which were previously considered in management's assessment of the valuation allowance. As a result, the Company reduced the valuation allowance by $10 million during the first quarter of 1993. The remaining $6.5 million valuation allowance was eliminated in the last half of 1993. Approximately $10.6 million of the change in the deferred tax asset valuation allowance ($10 million in first quarter 1993) was allocated as a reduction of income tax expense. At June 30, 1994, the Company had the following net operating loss carryforwards available for income tax purposes: Expiration (Dollars in thousands) Date Amount - - --------------------------------------------------- Federal regular tax operating loss carryforwards acquired through business combinations 1995-2002 $11,786 Federal regular tax operating loss carryforwards from other than business combinations 2005 12,807 - - --------------------------------------------------- 24,593 - - --------------------------------------------------- Federal AMT operating loss carryforwards 1995-2002 $13,137 - - --------------------------------------------------- 6 NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) - - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE C -- ACQUISITIONS On March 25, 1994, Metropolitan Federal Bank (the "Bank") completed the acquisition of Rocky Mountain Financial Corporation ("RMFC"), and its federally chartered thrift subsidiary Rocky Mountain Bank, fsb ("Rocky Mountain"), Cheyenne, Wyoming.

Total consideration of $64.2 million was paid in cash to stockholders of RMFC, after consideration of approximately $3.0 million of transaction expenses. The transaction was accounted for as a purchase. Rocky Mountain had assets of $537 million and deposits of $428 million as of March 25, 1994. The results of operations of RMFC and Rocky Mountain for the period March 26, 1994 through June 30, 1994 have been included in the Company's consolidated results for the six months ended June 30, 1994.

("FBS"). FBS will exchange .6803 shares of FBS common stock for each common share of the Company resulting in a per share price of $24.66. In addition, each outstanding share of Series B preferred stock of the Company will be converted into the right to receive $27.00 (plus accumulated and unpaid dividends) in cash and the outstanding warrants to purchase 249,100 shares of common stock of the Company will be converted to warrants to purchase 169,642 shares of FBS common stock at $6.96 per share. The exchange ratio for common stock of the Company is subject to change based upon changes in FBS stock price under certain circumstances. The aggregate purchase price is approximately $800 million and either company can terminate the agreement if the average price of FBS common stock is less than $29.50 during a specified period. In addition, the Company has issued FBS an option to purchase up to 19.9% of the outstanding shares of the Company's common stock under certain circumstances. The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 1995, pending regulatory and shareholder approval, and will be accounted for as a pooling of interests. FBS is a regional bank holding company headquartered in Minneapolis with assets of $25.9 billion. FBS provides complete financial services to individuals and institutions through nine banks and other financial service companies with 220 offices primarily in Minnesota, Colorado, Illinois, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wisconsin. 7 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Unaudited) - - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE COMPANY Metropolitan Financial Corporation (the "Company") is a regional financial services holding company. The Company's mission is to be the premier provider of community financial and home ownership services throughout its markets by offering exceptional value to its customers, resulting in profitable growth, fulfilling careers and community enhancement. The primary operations of the Company are in North Dakota, Minnesota, Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas, South Dakota, Wisconsin, Wyoming and Arizona. The Company operates an FDIC insured consumer savings bank, Metropolitan Federal Bank, fsb (the "Bank"), which concentrates on the traditional thrift business of soliciting deposits and making residential mortgage and other secured consumer loans. The Company's residential real estate brokerage subsidiary, Edina Realty, Inc. ("Edina Realty"), and title company subsidiary, Equity Title Services ("Equity Title"), are among Minnesota's largest providers of their respective services. Edina Realty and Equity Title conduct their business in Minnesota and western Wisconsin. Certain financial services products like annuities, uninsured investments, such as mutual funds, and insurance are provided to customers through a subsidiary operating as Metropolitan Financial Services ("MFS"). RECENT ACQUISITIONS On March 25, 1994, the Bank completed the acquisition of Rocky Mountain Financial Corporation ("RMFC") and its bank subsidiary, Rocky Mountain Bank, fsb ("Rocky Mountain"). Rocky Mountain had assets and deposits of approximately $537 million and $428 million at March 25, 1994, respectively. The Bank paid RMFC shareholders approximately $64.2 million in cash as consideration after payment of approximately $3.0 million of transaction expenses. On March 11, 1994, the Bank completed the acquisition of approximately $12.5 million in deposits of two branches of Pioneer Federal Savings and Loan Association, a failed thrift in Kansas. DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT On July 21, 1994, the Company announced that it had signed a definitive purchase agreement to be acquired by First Bank System, Inc. ("FBS"). FBS is a regional bank holding company headquartered in Minneapolis with assets of $25.9 billion. The Companies, had previously announced on July 1, 1994 that they had signed a letter of intent. FBS will exchange .6803 shares of FBS common stock for each common share of the Company resulting in a per share price of $24.66 based upon FBS closing stock price of $36.25 on July 20, 1994. In addition, each outstanding share of Series B preferred stock of the Company will be converted into the right to receive $27.00 (plus accumulated and unpaid dividends) in cash and the outstanding warrants to purchase 249,100 shares of common stock of the Company will be converted into warrants to purchase 169,642 shares of FBS common stock at $6.96 per share. The exchange ratio for common stock of the Company is subject to change based upon changes in FBS stock price under certain circumstances. The aggregate purchase price is approximately $800 million. The exchange ratio will be adjusted if the average of the closing price of FBS common stock is less than $33.00 for the 20 trading days ending three business days prior to the last date of both companies meetings of shareholders. In that event, the exchange ratio would be multiplied by the quotient of $33.00 divided by the average price. In addition, if the average price is greater than $40.50, the exchange ratio would be adjusted by multiplying the ratio by the quotient of $40.50 divided by the average price. Either company can terminate the agreement if the average price of FBS common stock is less than $29.50. In addition, the Company has issued FBS an option to purchase up to 19.9% of the outstanding shares of the Company's common stock under certain circumstances. The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 1995, pending regulatory and shareholder approval, and would be accounted for as pooling of interests. 8 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS--CONTINUED (Unaudited) - - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OVERVIEW. The Company earned net income of $14.4 million or $0.44 per fully diluted share for the quarter ended June 30, 1994, compared to $15.2 million or $0.47 per share for the second quarter of 1993. The results of the second quarter of 1993 reflect gains related to mortgage banking activities of $3.5 million compared to a $.3 million loss in the second quarter of 1994. Earnings for the first six months of 1994 totaled $26.6 million or $0.81 per share, compared with $30.4 million, or $0.95 per share in the first half of 1993. The current year results are fully taxed while the prior year results include a tax benefit of $10 million, or $.32 per share, recognized in the first quarter of 1993 associated with a reduction of the deferred tax asset valuation allowance. The reduction of the valuation allowance resulted from the favorable resolution of a number of outstanding tax issues raised by the Internal Revenue Service for which the Company had previously established reserves. NET INTEREST INCOME. The Company earned net interest income of $56.2 million for the second quarter of 1994, an increase of $7.6 million or 15.7 percent from the $48.5 million for the same period in 1993. The improvement in net interest income from the second quarter of 1993 reflects increases in the residential mortgage and consumer loan portfolios from acquisitions and wholesale purchases offset by decreases in the net interest margin. Average earning assets in the second quarter of 1994 increased to $7.4 billion, up from $6.0 billion a year ago. Single family mortgage loan production during the second quarter of 1994 totaled $331.4 million compared with $457.7 million in the second quarter of 1993 reflecting a softening of the real estate market as interest rates have increased. The net interest margin was 3.02 percent in the second quarter of 1994 compared with 3.15 percent in the first quarter of 1994 and 3.24 percent in the second quarter of 1993. The net interest margin began to narrow a year ago reflecting reduced average yields on earning assets resulting from the high rate of prepayments in the mortgage-backed securities and mortgage loan portfolios. During the first quarter of 1994, mortgage loan prepayments began to decrease as market interest rates began to climb. While the decrease in mortgage loan prepayments continued during the second quarter of 1994, the rise in interest rates resulted in increased rates paid on retail deposits and FHLB borrowings in advance of related increases in loan yields as reflected in the lower net interest margin. The increase in average earning assets from the second quarter of 1993 to the second quarter of 1994 increased net interest income by $11.5 million. The decrease in the net interest margin from 3.24 percent in the second quarter of 1993 to 3.02 percent during the same quarter in 1994 had an offsetting impact of reducing net interest income by $3.9 million. The weighted average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities decreased 25 basis points to 4.33 percent for the quarter ended June 30, 1994, as compared with the second quarter of 1993, while yields earned on interest bearing assets decreased 44 basis points to 7.28 percent during the same period. Growth in equity has also increased the net interest margin as it has effectively provided funds for earning assets with no direct cost. 9 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS -- CONTINUED (Unaudited) - - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------- Three Months Ended June 30, 1994 Six Months Ended June 30, 1994 vs. Same Period in 1993 vs. Same Period in 1993 ------------------------------------------------------------------- Increase (Decrease) Due to Increase (Decrease) Due to (In thousands) Volume Rate Total Volume Rate Total - - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- INTEREST INCOME Mortgage-backed securities $(5,392) $(1,901) $(7,293) $(12,135) $ (4,635) $(16,770) Loans 34,590 (7,822) 26,768 64,875 (17,486) 47,389 Investments and other (291) 566 275 (1,780) 865 (915) - - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total Interest Income 28,907 (9,157) 19,750 50,960 (21,256) 29,704 INTEREST EXPENSE Transaction and passbook deposits 778 198 976 1,227 (1,239) (12) Certificates 4,543 (6,023) (1,480) 5,930 (11,841) (5,911) Federal Home Loan Bank advances 10,804 769 11,573 20,227 397 20,624 Reverse repurchase agreements 1,714 -- 1,714 2,323 -- 2,323 Other borrowings (420) (247) (667) (730) (794) (1,524) - - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total Interest Expense 17,419 (5,303) 12,116 28,977 (13,477) 15,500 - - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- INCREASE IN NET INTEREST INCOME $11,488 $(3,854) $ 7,634 $21,983 $ (7,779) $ 14,204 =============================================================================================================== The Rate/Volume Analysis presents the dollar amount of changes in interest income and interest expense for interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities.

The Company is subject to interest rate risk to the extent that its interest earning assets reprice or mature differently than its interest bearing liabilities. The Company manages interest rate risk through production of interest earning assets with repricing or maturity characteristics similar to its retail deposit funding source, as well as concentrating on the gathering of retail deposits which match the repricing and maturity characteristics of the assets produced. This strategy emphasizes the production of fifteen year fixed rate, five and seven year balloon and adjustable rate mortgage loans and consumer loans. The Company augments its interest rate risk management strategy by purchasing assets or borrowing funds with comparable maturity and repricing characteristics to its loans or deposits. Finally, when considered necessary and cost effective, the Company uses hedging instruments, such as interest rate caps and swaps, to reduce its exposure to interest rate risk. An industry gauge of exposure to interest rate risk is the one year interest rate sensitivity "gap" (the difference between interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities maturing or repricing within one year). See table below. The Company mitigates its exposure to interest rate risk by striving to maintain a neutral "gap" between the maturities of its interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities. This strategy results in a stable net interest margin in periods of either rising or falling interest rates.

Assets available-for-sale are included in the 1 year or less category if there is a firm sale commitment outstanding. Assets available-for-sale without a firm commitment are based on their contractual maturity considering amortization and prepayments. Passbook savings and checking account balances assume a 10% annual decay rate and money market demand and tiered rate savings accounts are included in the one year or less category. Loan balances, which are prior to discounts and the allowance for loan losses, include non-accrual loans. 12 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS--CONTINUED (Unaudited) - - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES. The provision for loan losses reflects management's estimate of the allowance for loan losses necessary to provide for anticipated credit losses. The provision for loan losses was $3.0 million in the second quarter of 1994 compared with $2.4 million in the second quarter of 1993. The increase in the provision reflects overall increases in the loan portfolio of $1.0 billion, or 24.8 percent, from a year ago. The Company anticipates further growth in the loan portfolio and commensurate increases in the provision throughout the remainder of 1994. Also, see Nonperforming Assets and Allowance for Loan Losses. NONINTEREST INCOME. Noninterest income in the second quarter of 1994 was $24.7 million, an increase of $1.0 million, or 4.2 percent, from the second quarter of 1993. Excluding net gains and losses associated with mortgage banking activities, noninterest income in the second quarter increased $4.7 million, or 23.2 percent. Gains associated with mortgage banking activities totaled $3.5 million in the second quarter of 1993 compared with losses of $0.3 million recorded in the current year's second quarter reflecting the effect of rising interest rates. The current quarter results include $1.8 million of noninterest income from the acquired operations of Western Financial Corporation, Eureka Savings Bank and Rocky Mountain Financial Corporation. These acquisitions were completed on June 11, 1993, August 6, 1993 and March 25, 1994, respectively. Realty commissions from the Company's real estate brokerage subsidiary, Edina Realty, were $11.2 million, up 2.4 percent from the second quarter of 1993. The increase reflects acquisitions during the past year. Edina Realty continues to be one of the largest residential real estate brokerage companies in the Twin Cities, of Minneapolis and St. Paul, participating in more than 40 percent of all residential real estate transactions. Title closing fees from the title services subsidiary, Equity Title, declined to $3.2 million from $4.4 million a year ago reflecting the softening of the real estate market. Financial services income from the sale of mutual funds and annuities totaled $2.2 million, up 167.8 percent from the second quarter of 1993. Service charges on deposit accounts and other income were $5.5 million, an increase of 25.3 percent from a year ago. The increase is a result of acquisitions and the strategic evaluation of fees and implementation of a new fee structure for deposit accounts. NONINTEREST EXPENSE. Noninterest expense in the second quarter of 1994 was $54.6 million compared with $45.1 million in the second quarter of 1993. Included in the second quarter of 1994 are expenses of $5.6 million related to operations of recent bank acquisitions. The bank-only efficiency ratio, defined as noninterest expense less amortization of goodwill and real estate expense as a percent of net interest income before the provision for loan losses and noninterest income, was 59 percent in the second quarter of 1994, compared with 55 percent in the first quarter of 1994 and 54 percent in the second quarter of 1993. Compensation, occupancy, data processing, advertising and amortization of goodwill expense increased $7.0 million, or 23.1 percent, reflecting the acquisitions during the past year. Deposit insurance premiums increased $0.9 million reflecting deposit growth associated with acquisitions, as the rate paid for insurance premiums has remained constant. Real estate owned expense declined $1.4 million as a result of improved results from certain income- producing properties as well as a reduction in charge-offs. Other general and administrative expenses increased $2.9 million, or 27.9 percent, primarily reflecting the effect of acquisitions. Included in the first six months of 1993 was a one-time charge of $4.0 million related to the closing of 17 retail bank offices and other reorganization activities. 13 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS--CONTINUED (Unaudited) - - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- INCOME TAXES. The provision for income taxes was $8.8 million in the second quarter of 1994 compared with $9.6 million in the second quarter of 1993. The provision for income taxes for the first six months of 1994 was $16.3 million compared with $3.1 million (which included a $10 million tax benefit recognized in the first half of 1993.) The $10 million benefit in the first quarter of 1993 resulted from the favorable resolution of a number of outstanding tax issues raised by The Internal Revenue Service for which the Company had earlier established reserves. LOAN PORTFOLIO. The Company's loan portfolio totaled $5.2 billion at June 30, 1994, an increase of $577 million from December 31, 1993. The increase is due to new production of residential mortgage and consumer loans, as well as the addition of loans through acquisition offset by the securitization of approximately $500 million of 15 year fixed rate loans into mortgage-backed securities. Consumer loan origination and origination of first mortgage loans for the purchase or construction of one to four family residential property continue to be the main emphasis of the Company. Of the $577 million increase in loans in 1994, $162 million related to residential real estate mortgage loans and $421 million related to consumer loans. The Company's current policy is to sell all agency conforming 30-year fixed rate mortgage loans, thus significantly reducing interest rate risk. The Company generally maintains the servicing rights on mortgage loans sold to preserve the customer relationship, create opportunities to cross sell other banking services and generate fee income.

Nonperforming assets are non accruing loans and real estate owned. The Company places loans on a nonaccrual status when the loans are contractually delinquent more than 90 days. The table below presents a summary of nonperforming assets at the dates indicated. Nonperforming assets at June 30, 1994, totaled $84.1 million, a decrease of $31.3 million, or 27.1 percent from the $115.4 million total reported at December 31, 1993. The decrease is principally related to the sale or disposition of commercial real estate. The allowance for loan losses at June 30, 1994, remained relatively consistent with year end 1993 at $40.3 million. The allowance for loan losses as percentage of nonperforming loans increased from 70.0 percent at December 31, 1993 to 92.7 percent at June 30, 1994. Nonperforming loans to total loans and nonperforming assets to total assets decreased to .84 percent and 1.05 percent, respectively, at June 30, 1994 from 1.32 percent and 1.65 percent at year end 1993, respectively. Charge-offs associated with consumer loans increased to $3.3 million for the second quarter of 1994 due principally to increases in the consumer loan portfolio, principally in the indirect auto portfolio. MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES AND AVAILABLE-FOR-SALE SECURITIES. Mortgage-backed securities held for investment totaled $1.6 billion at June 30, 1994, compared to $.9 billion at December 31, 1993. The increase in mortgage-backed securities relates to wholesale purchases of adjustable rate mortgage-backed securities during the first quarter of 1994 and the securitization of approximately $500 million of fixed rate residential mortgage loans as FNMA securities. Securities available-for-sale decreased slightly from year end 1993 to $0.6 billion at June 30, 1994, principally as a result of the settlement of certain sales transactions executed in the fourth quarter of 1993. SOURCES OF FUNDS. Deposits at June 30, 1994, totaled $5.6 billion, an increase of $276 million or 5.2 percent from the December 31, 1993 total of $5.4 billion. The increase is due to the acquisition of Rocky Mountain offset by general deposit outflow as a result of depositors reinvesting their funds in mutual funds and other non FDIC insured instruments, consistent with current industry experience.

Shareholders' equity decreased to $502,517 million at June 30, 1994, a decrease of $1.9 million from December 31, 1993. The decrease related to the recording of an unrealized loss associated with securities available-for-sale as a result of increases in interest rates and, correspondingly, decreases in the market values. Shareholders' equity as a percentage of assets was 6.3 percent at June 30, 1994. Common shareholders' equity at June 30, 1994 was $490,298 million or $15.74 per share compared with $492,164 or $15.79 per share at December 31, 1993. Under minimum regulatory capital regulations issued by the OTS, thrift institutions are required to meet the following three capital requirements. TANGIBLE CAPITAL REQUIREMENT. Generally, this requirement measures capital adequacy after consideration of the effect of intangibles, purchased servicing assets and other factors on the financial statements. Tangible capital must meet or exceed 1.50 percent of tangible assets, as defined in the regulations. CORE CAPITAL REQUIREMENT. This measure permits thrifts to include in tangible capital supervisory goodwill (goodwill related to certain acquisitions prior to 1989) on a declining basis through 1994 and core deposit intangibles. The core capital of a thrift must meet or exceed 3.00 percent of assets. RISK-BASED CAPITAL REQUIREMENT. The risk-based capital ratio measures capital adequacy taking into account the level of risk of an institution's assets. The OTS has also issued a rule which would add, under certain circumstances, an interest rate risk component which increases the risk-based capital requirement. The Bank is currently not subject to any additional risk-based capital requirements related to interest rate risk. As of December 31, 1993, a thrift's risk-based capital must meet or exceed 8.00 percent of risk adjusted assets. The Bank, including its subsidiaries, exceeded the fully phased-in capital requirements at June, 30 1994, as detailed below.

("Equity Title") and the Company along with executives from each entity have been named in three class action suits (two Federal and one in Minnesota State Court) alleging that Edina failed to adequately disclose dual agency in instances where Edina represented both buyer and seller in real estate transactions and forced its customers to close their real estate transactions at its affiliate, Equity Title. A definitive settlement of a non-material amount has been reached with respect to the class action suit in Minnesota State Court (Dismuke vs. Edina Realty). No settlement or agreement has been reached with respect to the two class action suits pending in Federal Court (Bokusky vs. Edina Realty, et al. and Nitti vs. Equity Title, et al.). Combined settlement discussions addressing both cases are ongoing. At the present time, management is not in a position to determine whether the amount of any settlement would have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations in any future reporting period.
