However, they do not include all of the information and disclosures necessary for annual financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Accordingly, these unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 1997. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. On August 10, 1998, the Company exchanged 3.4 million shares of its common stock for The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi, Ltd.'s (BTM) 6 percent direct ownership interest in Union Bank of California, N.A. (the Bank). This share exchange provides the Company with a 100 percent ownership interest in the Bank. In addition, it increases BTM's ownership percentage of the Company to 82 percent from 81 percent. The exchange of shares was accounted for as a reorganization of entities under common control. Accordingly, amounts previously reported as Parent Direct Interest in Bank Subsidiary, including the proportionate share of net income, dividends, and other comprehensive income have been reclassified to combine with the corresponding amounts attributable to the Company's common shareholders for all periods presented. Certain amounts for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to current financial statement presentation. NOTE 2--RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In June 1996, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities", was issued. This Statement establishes standards for when transfers of financial assets, including those with continuing involvement by the transferor, should be considered a sale. SFAS No. 125 also establishes standards for when a liability should be considered extinguished. This Statement is effective for transfers of assets and extinguishments of liabilities after December 31, 1996. In December 1996, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) reconsidered certain provisions of SFAS No. 125 and issued SFAS No. 127, "Deferral of the Effective Date of Certain Provisions of FASB Statement No. 125", to defer for one year the effective date of implementation for transactions related to repurchase agreements, dollar-roll repurchase agreements, securities lending and similar transactions. Management determined that the effect of adoption of SFAS No. 125 and SFAS No. 127 on the Company's financial statements was not material. In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information", which establishes annual and interim reporting standards for an enterprise's operating segments and related disclosures about its products, services, geographic areas, and major customers. Adoption of this Statement will not impact the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows, and any effect will be limited to the form and content of its disclosures. This Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997, with earlier application permitted. The Company expects to adopt SFAS No. 131 at December 31, 1998. 7 UNIONBANCAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) MARCH 31, 1998 (UNAUDITED) NOTE 2--RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (CONTINUED) In February 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 132, "Employers' Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits". The Standard revises the disclosure requirements for pensions and other postretirement benefits. Adoption of this Statement will not impact the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows, and any effect will be limited to the form and content of its disclosures. This Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. In March 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants issued Statement of Position (SOP) 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use". SOP 98-1 requires the capitalization of eligible costs of specified activities related to computer software developed or obtained for internal use. Management believes that the adoption of SOP 98-1 will not have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations. The Statement will become effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1998, with earlier adoption encouraged. NOTE 3--EARNINGS PER SHARE Basic earnings per share (EPS) is computed by dividing net income after preferred dividends by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS incorporates the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents outstanding on an average basis during the period. Stock options are a common stock equivalent. The following table presents a reconciliation of basic and diluted EPS for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 in accordance with SFAS No. 128: THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, ---------------------------------------------- 1998 1997 ---------------------- ---------------------- (AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA) BASIC DILUTED BASIC DILUTED - ----------------------------------------------------------------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Net income....................................................... $ 95,577 $ 95,577 $ 92,502 $ 92,502 Less: Dividends on preferred stock................................... -- -- (2,826) (2,826) ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Income available to common shareholders(1)....................... $ 95,577 $ 95,577 $ 89,676 $ 89,676 ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Weighted average common shares outstanding(1).................... 58,322 58,322 58,154 58,154 Additional shares due to: Assumed conversion of dilutive stock options................... -- 218 -- 150 ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Adjusted weighted average common shares outstanding(1)........... 58,322 58,540 58,154 58,304 ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Net income per share(1).......................................... $ 1.64 $ 1.63 $ 1.54 $ 1.54 ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- - ------------------------ (1) Amounts restated to reflect the exchange referred to in Note 1 of the accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS INTRODUCTION UnionBanCal Corporation (UNBC) is a San Francisco, California-based bank holding company with consolidated assets of $30.9 billion at March 31, 1998. Based on total assets, UNBC and its consolidated subsidiaries (the Company) was the third largest bank holding company in California and among the 30 largest in the United States. At March 31, 1998, the Company operated 240 banking offices in California, 5 banking offices in Oregon and Washington, and 18 overseas facilities. UNBC is 82 percent owned by The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi, Ltd. (BTM) and 18 percent owned by other shareholders. UNBC's principal subsidiary, Union Bank of California, N.A. (the Bank), is wholly owned by UNBC. (See Note 1 of the Company's accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements.) THIS DOCUMENT MAY CONTAIN FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS THAT ARE SUBJECT TO RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES THAT COULD CAUSE ACTUAL RESULTS TO DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THOSE INDICATED. FOR A DISCUSSION OF FACTORS THAT COULD CAUSE ACTUAL RESULTS TO DIFFER, PLEASE SEE THE DISCUSSION CONTAINED HEREIN AND IN THE COMPANY'S PUBLICLY AVAILABLE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION FILINGS AND PRESS RELEASES. The interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997. Certain amounts for prior periods have been reclassified to conform with current financial statement presentation. SUMMARY Net income in the first quarter of 1998 was $95.6 million. Net income in the first quarter of 1997 was $92.5 million. Net income applicable to common stock was $95.6 million, or $1.63 per diluted common share, in the first quarter of 1998, compared with $89.7 million, or $1.54 per diluted common share, in the first quarter of 1997. Other highlights of the first quarter of 1998 include: - Net interest income, on a taxable-equivalent basis, was $318.6 million in the first quarter of 1998, a $23.2 million, or 8 percent, increase from the comparable period one year earlier. The increase in net interest income was primarily due to a 16 basis point increase in the net interest margin and a $1.1 billion, or 4 percent, increase in average earning assets, resulting primarily from a $1.4 billion, or 7 percent, increase in average loans largely funded by a $1.0 billion, or 15 percent, increase in average noninterest bearing deposits. - A provision for credit losses of $20.0 million was recorded in the first quarter of 1998, compared with no provision in 1997. This resulted from management's regular quarterly assessment of overall credit quality, loan growth and economic conditions in relation to the level of the allowance for credit losses. Nonperforming assets declined $34.6 million, or 21 percent, from March 31, 1997 to $132.4 million at March 31, 1998. Nonperforming assets as a percentage of total assets declined to 0.43 percent at March 31, 1998, compared with 0.57 percent a year earlier. Total nonaccrual loans at March 31, 1998 and 1997 were $112.5 million and $136.7 million, respectively. The ratio of nonaccrual loans to total loans declined from 0.64 percent to 0.50 percent. - Noninterest income was $128.0 million, an increase of $13.2 million, or 12 percent, over the first quarter of 1997. Service charges on deposit accounts grew $5.9 million, or 22 percent, reflecting growth in average deposits; trust and investment management fees increased $4.1 million, or 17 percent, on growth in assets under management; and securities gains, net increased $4.5 million. - Noninterest expense was $268.5 million for the first quarter of 1998, compared with $253.1 million for the first quarter of 1997, an increase of $15.3 million, or 6 percent. Personnel-related expense increased $9.6 million, or 7 percent, primarily due to a $5.5 million increase in performance-based incentive compensation. Net occupancy expense increased $2.4 million, or 12 percent. 11 - The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 1998 was 39 percent, compared with 41 percent for the first quarter of 1997. The lower effective tax rate in the first quarter of 1998 reflects the benefits recognized from filing a California Franchise Tax return based on the unitary concept, which incorporates the financial results of BTM. - In the first quarter of 1998, the return on average assets remained unchanged at 1.30 percent from a year earlier. The return on average common equity was 14.28 percent at March 31, 1998 compared to 15.21 percent at March 31, 1997. - Total loans at March 31, 1998 increased $1.3 billion, or 6 percent, over March 31, 1997, primarily due to growth in the commercial, financial and industrial portfolio. At $22.5 billion, total loans were 1 percent lower at March 31, 1998 than at December 31, 1997. - The Company's Tier 1 and total risk-based capital ratios were 9.16 percent and 11.23 percent at March 31, 1998, compared with 9.15 percent and 10.85 percent at March 31, 1997. The first quarter 1998 leverage ratio for the Company was 8.94 percent, compared with 8.60 percent for the first quarter of 1997. The increase in the Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio was attributable to retained earnings growing faster than risk-weighted assets, partly offset by the redemption of $135.0 million of preferred stock in the third quarter of 1997. The increase in the total risk-based capital ratio was attributable to the issuance of $200.0 million in subordinated capital notes in the second quarter of 1997.

(2) Average balances on loans outstanding include all nonperforming and renegotiated loans. The amortized portion of net loan origination fees (costs) is included in interest income on loans, representing an adjustment to the yield. (3) Foreign loans and deposits are those loans and deposits originated in foreign branches. (4) Yields on securities available for sale were based on fair value. The difference between these yields and those based on amortized cost was not significant. (5) Amounts restated to reflect the exchange referred to in Note 1 of the accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements. 13 Net interest income is interest earned on loans and investments less interest expense on deposit accounts and borrowings. Primary factors affecting the level of net interest income include the margin between the yield earned on interest earning assets and the rate paid on interest bearing liabilities, as well as the volume and composition of average interest earning assets and average interest bearing liabilities. Net interest income, on a taxable-equivalent basis, was $318.6 million for the first quarter of 1998, compared with $295.5 million for the first quarter of 1997. This increase of $23.2 million, or 8 percent, was primarily attributable to a $1.1 billion, or 4 percent, increase in average earning assets largely funded by a $1.0 billion, or 15 percent, increase in average noninterest bearing deposits. In addition, the net interest margin increased 16 basis points to 4.85 percent. The differential between the increase in the yield on average earning assets and the increase in the rate of interest bearing liabilities was favorably impacted by an increase in the proportion of funding provided by noninterest bearing deposits, thereby lowering the overall cost of funds. Average earning assets were $26.5 billion in the first quarter of 1998, compared with $25.4 billion in the first quarter of 1997. Most of this increase was attributable to growth in average loans, which increased $1.4 billion, or 7 percent, and average securities, which were $237.6 million, or 10 percent, higher, offset by a $435.2 million decrease in average federal funds sold and securities purchased under resale agreements. Average commercial, financial and industrial loans, which increased $1.2 billion, and average commercial mortgage loans, which increased $335.6 million, contributed most of the loan growth. See "Loans" on page 16 for additional commentary on growth in the loan portfolio. The increase in primarily fixed rate securities reflected interest rate risk management actions to reduce the Company's exposure to declines in interest rates, and, secondarily, to increase liquidity. The $1.1 billion, or 4 percent, growth in average earning assets from the first quarter of 1997 to the first quarter of 1998 was funded primarily by a $1.0 billion increase in average noninterest bearing deposits. The increase in noninterest bearing deposits was partially due to an influx of new customer relationships, arising from the recent merger and acquisition activities of other financial institutions in the California market during the past year.

In addition, trust and investment management fees increased $4.1 million, largely due to growth of assets under management, and international commissions and fees increased $2.6 million. These increases were partly offset by an $8.6 million decrease in other noninterest income, primarily attributable to an $8 million gain from the sale of a real estate-related joint venture in 1997. 14 NONINTEREST EXPENSE FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED ------------------------------------------------ INCREASE (DECREASE) MARCH 31, MARCH 31, ------------------------ (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) 1998 1997 AMOUNT PERCENT - ----------------------------------------------------------------- ---------- ---------- ----------- ----------- Salaries and other compensation.................................. $ 119,878 $ 108,601 $ 11,277 10.38% Employee benefits................................................ 30,505 32,187 (1,682) (5.23) ---------- ---------- ----------- Personnel-related expense...................................... 150,383 140,788 9,595 6.82 Net occupancy.................................................... 22,025 19,630 2,395 12.20 Equipment........................................................ 13,839 13,687 152 1.11 Communications................................................... 11,229 10,268 961 9.36 Credit card processing........................................... 10,080 9,722 358 3.68 Data processing.................................................. 6,502 6,423 79 1.23 Printing and office supplies..................................... 6,335 6,169 166 2.69 Professional services............................................ 6,128 4,719 1,409 29.86 Advertising and public relations................................. 6,051 6,009 42 0.70 Software......................................................... 4,440 4,729 (289) (6.11) Travel........................................................... 3,762 3,195 567 17.75 Intangible asset amortization.................................... 3,338 3,338 -- 0.00 Armored car...................................................... 2,859 3,113 (254) (8.16) Foreclosed asset expense (income)................................

Personnel-related expense increased $9.6 million, or 7 percent, primarily due to a $5.5 million increase in performance-based incentive compensation and a 5 percent increase in workforce to support increased revenue growth. In addition, net occupancy expense increased $2.4 million, professional services expense increased $1.4 million, and other noninterest expense increased $6.8 million, partially reflecting additional expenses incurred to support higher deposit volumes. The combination of Union Bank and BanCal Tri-State Corporation on April 1, 1996 resulted in the recording of a total of $123.5 million in merger and integration expense. The remaining liability balance at March 31, 1998 was $14.3 million. The balance includes amounts primarily for lease payments that are continuing over the expected term of the leases. No merger and integration expense was recorded in the first quarter of 1998, compared with $6.0 million in the same quarter of 1997. YEAR 2000 The Year 2000 issue is a computer programming situation that may affect many electronic data processing systems. In order to minimize the length of data fields, most computer programs eliminated the first two digits in the year date field. This problem could affect date-sensitive calculations that treat "00" as the year 1900, rather than 2000. Secondly, years that end in "00" are not leap years, except for the anomaly in the year 2000. This anomaly could result in miscalculations when processing critical date-sensitive information after December 31, 1999. The Company has prepared a project plan, identified all of the major application and processing systems, and sought external and internal resources to replace and test the systems. Purchased software and systems supported by external parties will be tested as part of the formal project plan. In addition, customers and vendors who have significant relationships with the Company will be evaluated to determine 15 whether they are preparing for the Year 2000. The failure of those customers to adequately prepare will be incorporated into the credit review process. However, there can be no guarantee that the systems of vendors or customers with which the Company does business will be completed on a timely basis. The Company plans to complete the Year 2000 project in advance of December 31, 1999. Of the estimated total project cost of approximately $40 million, the remaining amount to be incurred for the Year 2000 project is approximately $36 million and will be funded by normal operating cash and staffed by external resources as well as internal staff redeployed from less time-sensitive assignments. Approximately $10 million of the remaining cost is attributable to the purchase of new hardware and software, which will be capitalized and expensed over the useful lives of those assets. The remaining $27 million, which will be expensed as incurred over the next two years, is not expected to have a material effect on the results of operations, liquidity or capital resources. During first quarter of 1998, the Company incurred and expensed approximately $2 million related to its assessment of the Year 2000 issue and its preliminary efforts in implementing the Year 2000 project plan. As with all financial institutions, there is a high degree of reliance being placed on the systems of other institutions to properly settle transactions. Their inability to process transactions properly or the Company's inability to complete its plan on time could have a material adverse effect on the Company. The cost of the project and the date on which the Company plans to complete the Year 2000 modifications are based on managment's best estimates, which were derived utilizing a number of assumptions of future events including the continued availability of internal and external resources, third party modifications and other factors. However, there can be no guarantee that these estimates will be achieved and actual results could differ. INCOME TAX EXPENSE The effective tax rates for the first quarter of 1998 and 1997 were 39 percent and 41 percent, respectively. The lower effective tax rate in the first quarter of 1998 reflects the benefits recognized from filing a California Franchise Tax return based on the unitary concept, which incorporates the financial results of BTM. LOANS The following table shows loans outstanding by loan type.

Total loans at March 31, 1998 were $22.5 billion, an increase of 16 $1.3 billion, or 6 percent, from March 31, 1997. The increase was primarily attributable to growth in the commercial, financial and industrial loan portfolio, which increased $1.2 billion from March 31, 1997. Commercial, financial and industrial loans represent the largest category in the loan portfolio. These loans are extended principally to major corporations, middle market businesses, and small businesses, with no industry concentration exceeding 10 percent of total commercial, financial and industrial loans. At March 31, 1998 and 1997, the commercial, financial and industrial loan portfolio was $10.9 billion, or 48 percent of total loans, and $9.7 billion, or 46 percent of total loans, respectively. The increase of $1.2 billion, or 13 percent, from March 31, 1997 was primarily attributable to continued growth in loans extended to large corporations in industries where the Bank has specialized lending expertise. The construction loan portfolio totaled $270.2 million, or 1 percent of total loans, at March 31, 1998, compared with $331.1 million, or 2 percent of total loans, at March 31, 1997. Mortgage loans were $5.9 billion, or 26 percent of total loans, at March 31, 1998, compared with $5.6 billion, or 26 percent of total loans, at March 31, 1997. The mortgage loan portfolio consists of loans on commercial and industrial projects and loans secured by one to four family residential properties, primarily in California. Commercial mortgage loans increased $320.7 million from March 31, 1997 to March 31, 1998, primarily attributable to an ongoing recovery in the California real estate market reflecting the continuing improvement in the West Coast economy, particularly in the real estate sector. Consumer loans totaled $3.3 billion, or 14 percent of total loans, at March 31, 1998, compared with $3.4 billion, or 16 percent of total loans, at March 31, 1997. This portfolio is primarily comprised of installment loans and home equity loans. Lease financing totaled $888.8 million, or 4 percent of total loans, at March 31, 1998, compared with $824.3 million, or 4 percent of total loans, at March 31, 1997. Loans originated in foreign branches totaled $1.3 billion, or 6 percent of total loans, at March 31, 1998 and $1.4 billion, or 6 percent of total loans, at March 31, 1997. CROSS-BORDER OUTSTANDINGS The Company's cross-border outstandings reflect certain additional economic and political risks that are not reflected in domestic outstandings. These risks include those arising from exchange rate fluctuations and restrictions on the transfer of funds. The following table sets forth the Company's cross-border outstandings as of March 31, 1998, December 31, 1997, and March 31, 1997 for each country where such outstandings exceeded 1 percent of total assets. The cross-border outstandings were compiled based upon category and domicile of ultimate risk and are comprised of balances with banks, trading account assets, securities available for sale, securities purchased under resale agreements, loans, accrued interest receivable, acceptances outstanding and investments with foreign entities. The amounts outstanding for each country exclude local currency outstandings. The Corporation does not have significant local currency 17 outstandings to the individual countries listed in the following table that are not hedged or are not funded by local currency borrowings.

Total outstandings as of March 31, 1998 in Japan, Korea and Thailand were $524 million, $548 million, and $194 million, and the Company's outstandings in Indonesia, a country which continues to be affected by economic and political turmoil, were $48 million. In light of events since year-end, Management believes these short-term exposures can be characterized as low to moderate risk. Since Japan is the second largest trading nation in the world, its economic and financial markets situation is being closely monitored. Management is also aware that the potential impact of the Asian crisis and the depressed conditions in Japan on the American economy and Asian companies doing business with and in the USA, particularly California, are not yet fully understood. Accordingly, the Company will continue to evaluate the impact that these conditions may have on the overall portfolio throughout 1998. Although management cannot predict the ultimate impact of the crisis on the Company's financial position and results of operations since much depends on the effect of the stabilizing activities already under way, management believes that the continuation of internal supervision, monitoring and portfolio risk management practices will be effective in minimizing the impact over and above that already identified. Increases in nonaccrual loans, together with some related increases in charge-off activity, may occur as events unfold. ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES The allowance for credit losses is maintained at a level considered appropriate by management and is based on an ongoing assessment of risk in the credit and lease portfolio, including commitments to provide financing. The allowance is increased by the provision for credit losses, which is charged against current period operating results, and is decreased by the amount of net loans charged off during the period. In evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses, management incorporates such factors as collateral value, portfolio composition and concentration, and trends in local, national, and international economic conditions and the related impact on the financial strength of the Company's borrowers. While the allowance is segmented by broad portfolio categories to analyze its adequacy, the allowance is general in nature and is available for the portfolio in its entirety. Although management believes that the allowance for credit losses is adequate in the first quarter of 1998, future provisions will be subject to continuing evaluation of risk in the credit and lease portfolio. 18 The table below sets forth a reconciliation of changes in the allowance for credit losses.

At March 31, 1998, the Company's allowance for credit losses was $466.0 million, or 2.07 percent of total loans, and 414.4 percent of total nonaccrual loans, compared with an allowance for credit losses at March 31, 1997 of $522.8 million, or 2.46 percent of total loans, and 382.6 percent of total nonaccrual loans. During the first quarter of 1998, the Company recorded $20.0 million in provision for credit losses, compared with no provision for credit losses in the first quarter of 1997. This resulted from management's regular quarterly assessment of overall credit quality, loan growth and economic conditions in relation to the level of the allowance for credit losses. Future quarterly provisions will be subject to the same evaluation process. During the first quarter of 1998, net loans charged off were $5.7 million, compared with $1.1 million in the first quarter of 1997. Loans charged off in the first quarter of 1998 decreased by $2.7 million primarily due to a $1.2 million decrease in commercial, financial and industrial loans charged off and a $1.1 million decrease in mortgage loans charged off. Recoveries of loans previously charged off decreased by $7.2 million, and the percentage of current year recoveries to loans charged off in the previous quarter decreased from 53.80 percent in the first quarter of 1997 to 33.84 percent in the first quarter of 1998. The Company evaluates its loan portfolio for impairment as defined by SFAS No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan" as amended. At March 31, 1998, total impaired loans were $111.5 million, and the associated impairment allowance was $18.3 million, compared with total impaired loans of $124.6 million and an associated impairment allowance of $14.6 million at March 31, 1997. 19 NONPERFORMING ASSETS MARCH 31, DECEMBER 31, MARCH 31, (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) 1998 1997 1997 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---------- ------------ ---------- Commercial, financial and industrial.......................................... $ 65,540 $ 46,392 $ 70,778 Construction.................................................................. 4,389 4,071 5,009 Mortgage: Residential................................................................. 951 954 3,244 Commercial.................................................................. 41,571 57,921 57,636 ---------- ------------ ---------- Total mortgage............................................................ 42,522 58,875 60,880 ---------- ------------ ---------- Total nonaccrual loans.................................................... 112,451 109,338 136,667 Foreclosed assets............................................................. 19,952 20,471 30,378 ---------- ------------ ---------- Total nonperforming assets................................................ $ 132,403 $ 129,809 $ 167,045 ---------- ------------ ---------- ---------- ------------ ---------- Allowance for credit losses................................................... $ 466,043 $ 451,692 $ 522,835 ---------- ------------ ---------- ---------- ------------ ---------- Nonaccrual loans to total loans............................................... 0.50% 0.48% 0.64% Nonaccrual loans to allowance for credit losses............................... 24.13 24.21 26.14 Nonperforming assets to total loans and foreclosed assets..................... 0.59 0.57 0.79 Nonperforming assets to total assets.......................................... 0.43 0.42 0.57 At March 31, 1998, nonperforming assets totaled $132.4 million, a decrease of $34.6 million, or 21 percent, from a year earlier. The decrease was primarily the result of reductions of $5.2 million in nonaccrual commercial, financial and industrial loans, mostly from loans to large corporate borrowers; $16.1 million in nonaccrual commercial mortgage loans due to a combination of note sales, repayments and restorations to accrual; and, $10.4 million in foreclosed assets. Nonaccrual loans as a percentage of total loans were 0.50 percent at March 31, 1998, compared with 0.64 percent at March 31, 1997. Nonperforming assets as a percentage of total loans and foreclosed assets were 0.59 percent at March 31, 1998, compared with 0.79 percent at March 31, 1997.

The Company's liquidity management draws upon the strengths of its extensive retail and commercial market business franchise, coupled with its ability to obtain funds for various terms in a variety of domestic and international money markets. 20 Core deposits provide the Company with a sizable source of relatively stable and low-cost funds. In the first quarter of 1998, lower cost sources of funds, which include noninterest bearing deposits and interest bearing core deposits, funded 63 percent of average earning assets. Most of the remaining funding was provided by short-term borrowing in the form of negotiable certificates of deposit, foreign deposits, federal funds purchased and securities sold under repurchase agreements, commercial paper, and other borrowings. REGULATORY CAPITAL The following table summarizes risk-based capital, risk-weighted assets, and risk-based capital ratios for the Company.

The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulations issued by Federal banking agencies, including minimum capital requirements. The Company and the Bank are required to maintain minimum ratios of total and Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets and of Tier 1 capital to average assets (the leverage ratio). Compared with one year earlier, the Company's Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio at March 31, 1998 increased 1 basis point to 9.16 percent, the total risk-based capital ratio increased 38 basis points to 11.23 percent, and the leverage ratio increased 34 basis points to 8.94 percent. The increase in the Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio was attributable to retained earnings growing faster than risk-weighted assets, partly offset by the redemption of $135.0 million of preferred stock in the third quarter of 1997. The increase in the total risk-based capital ratio was attributable to the issuance of $200.0 million in subordinated capital notes in the second quarter of 1997. As of March 31, 1998, management believes the capital ratios of the Bank met all regulatory minimums of a "well-capitalized" institution. ITEM 3. MARKET RISK.
