                            FIRST UNION CORPORATION

                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1: Securities

The Corporation adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 115, 
"Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" at 
January 1, 1994, which requires that debt and equity securities held: 
(i) to maturity be classified as such and reported at amortized cost; 
(ii) for current resale be classified as trading securities and reported at 
fair value, with unrealized gains and losses included in current earnings; 
and (iii) for any other purpose be classified as securities available for 
sale and reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses excluded 
from current earnings and reported as a separate component of stockholders' 
equity. The adoption of Statement 115 had no impact on net income.


The following table summarizes the effect of this standard on 
stockholders' equity:





                                                         January 1,              March 31,
(In thousands)                                              1994                    1994

                                                                           
Securities available for sale                             $139,443                (65,725)
Other assets (deferred income taxes)                        46,016                 23,899

Stockholders' equity
 Unrealized gain (loss) on debt and equity securities     $93,427                 (41,826)



Note 2: Off-Balance Sheet Risk and Carrying Amounts and Fair Value of 
Financial Instruments

Information related to off-balance sheet risk as of March 31, 1994 is included
in Table 20 through 22 of the Corporation's First Quarter Financial 
Supplement on pages T-18 through T-21.

At March 31, 1994, the net fair value of the Corporation's recorded net 
financial assets subject to valuation in accordance with Financial 
Accounting Standard No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial 
Instruments", decreased 11 percent from year-end 1993 as a result of a 
decline in the net financial assets subject to such valuation and 10 
percent as a result of an increase in interest rates from year-end 1993, which
reduced the fair value of the Corporation's securities and loan portfolios.

Information related to off-balance sheet risk and the impact of changes 
in interest rates should be read in conjunction with the "Interest 
Rate Risk Management" section of the Corporation's First Quarter Financial 
Supplement.
