FIRST INTERSTATE BANCORP REGISTRANT DATE: MARCH 31, 1995 /s/ David S. Belles ------------------------ David S. Belles Executive Vice President and Controller Chief Accounting Officer EX-13 2 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS FIRST INTERSTATE BANCORP Overview of 1994 Performance First Interstate Bancorp recorded consolidated net income in 1994 of $733.5 million, or $8.71 per share, including the effect of $141.3 million of restructuring charges ($87.6 million after taxes, or $1.09 per share). Before the effect of these charges, which are described in detail on the following page, after-tax earnings were $821.1 million, or $9.80 per share. This compares to earnings before an extraordinary item and the cumulative effect of accounting changes for 1993 of $561.4 million, or $6.68 per share, and net income of $736.7 million, or $8.96 per share. These results represent a substantial improvement from net income of $282.3 million, or $3.23 per share, reported for 1992. The Corporation recorded an extraordinary item reflecting aftertax charges associated with long term debt repurchases and redemptions of $985 million during 1993. As a result, 1993 net income was reduced by $24.8 million ($0.32 per share). In addition, the cumulative effect of two accounting changes that were adopted early in 1993 resulted in a net after-tax addition of $200.1 million, or $2.60 per share. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 (SFAS 109), "Accounting for Income Taxes," resulted in the recognition of additional tax benefits of $305.0 million ($3.96 per share). This accounting change was partially offset by the Corporation's decision to adopt SFAS 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions," on an immediate rather than a prospective basis, which reduced net income by $104.9 million ($1.36 per share). Based on consolidated income before the cumulative effect of accounting changes and the extraordinary item described above, the return on average assets for 1994 rose to 1.38%, a material improvement from 1.14% in 1993. At the same time, the return on average common shareholders' equity rose to 21.56% from 17.33% a year earlier. The Corporation's significant increase in overall profitability in 1994 resulted primarily from two factors: revenue growth and an excellent risk profile. The primary factor contributing to earnings growth in 1994 was a 12% increase in total revenue. Total revenue, which includes taxable- equivalent net interest income and noninterest income, was up $361.3 million in 1994. Net interest income contributed over 70% of the 1994 increase in total revenue. This resulted principally from earning asset growth, coupled with a shift in the mix of earning assets to a higher proportion of loans. At the same time, the net interest margin increased to 5.14% in 1994, up 23 basis points from the 1993 level. The remainder of the increase in total revenue was spread over most major categories of noninterest income. Second, reflecting the risk profile of the Corporation, no provision for credit losses was recorded in 1994. The provision for credit losses amounted to $112.6 million in 1993 and $314.3 million in 1992. In addition, expenses arising from the maintenance, sales and valuation adjustments of other real estate acquired through foreclosure (ORE) reflected a net recovery of $12.4 million in 1994, versus expenses of $33.6 million and $159.6 million in 1993 and 1992, respectively. Nonperforming assets were reduced to $258 million at yearend 1994, down nearly 17% from $309 million a year earlier. This follows a decline of nearly 60% at yearend 1993 versus a year earlier. Consistent implementation of the Corporation's risk management techniques has resulted in the reduction of consolidated nonperforming assets to 0.46% of total assets, an improvement from 0.60% at yearend 1993 and 1.48% at yearend 1992. Net chargeoffs declined to $133.0 million in 1994 (0.46% of average loans), compared to $218.1 million in 1993 (0.90%) and $459.6 million in 1992 (1.79%). Reflecting the factors noted above, the allowance for credit losses declined to 2.81% of loans at December 31, 1994, versus 3.85% at yearend 1993 and 4.41% at yearend 1992. Noninterest expenses totaled $2,197.8 million in 1994 and $2,032.4 million in 1993. The increase in 1994 resulted primarily from the restructuring charges noted above and the effect of integrating 10 acquisitions during the year. Restructuring Plan On September 20, 1994, the Corporation announced that management had adopted a Restructuring Plan (Plan) to improve efficiency and better position the Corporation for the introduction of full interstate banking. This Plan resulted in restructuring charges in 1994 of $141.3 million, consisting of the following (in millions): Early Retirement Program $ 82.0 Severance and Outplacement Services 40.0 Facility and Equipment Valuations 15.0 Other 4.3 TOTAL RESTRUCTURING CHARGES $141.3 The restructuring charges will be funded out of operating cash flows with payments for severance and outplacement services occuring approximately ratably over the next year. Payment of the cost of the Early Retirement Program into the Corporation's qualified retirement plan will depend on the timing of the Corporation's contributions to the plan. In addition, it is expected that restructuring charges of another $23.7 million for relocation of staff and facilities, as well as retention payments for certain personnel displaced in the restructuring program, will be incurred and expensed as the program is implemented. Such costs are expected to be incurred relatively evenly through the third quarter of 1995. The total expected cost of the Plan, therefore, will be approximately $165 million. The Plan calls for the consolidations of operations and administrative functions, formation of a company-wide Risk Management Group, and implementation of "best practices" in business lines. As part of the Plan, 1,854 personnel took advantage of the Corporation's Early Retirement Program. In the course of implementing the Plan, another approximately 3,300 personnel are expected to be involuntarily terminated. Because some of the vacancies created by the Early Retirement Program and by the geographic consolidations will have to be filled, the total permanent reduction is expected to be approximately 3,000 full-time equivalent staff. The Plan is expected to result in annualized expense savings of $167 million by June 1996; the savings are expected to be achieved progressively through this time period. Of the $167 million, staff savings total $107 million, facilities savings total $20 million, and other savings (primarily in the areas of purchasing, appraisals, and branch savings) total $40 million. As a result, the Corporation expects to achieve a 58% efficiency ratio in 1995. The Plan should have limited impact on the revenues of the Corporation. The expense savings of this Plan described above are before the impact of any acquisitions announced by the Corporation after March 22, 1994. The Corporation has announced the following acquisitions since that date: 17 branches from the Resolution Trust Corporation in Oregon and Washington; Sacramento Savings Bank and Levy Bancorp in California; North Texas Bancshares and Park Forest National Bank in Texas; and University Savings Bank in Washington.

Taxable-equivalent adjustments to net interest income with offsetting adjustments to income tax expense are designed to reflect income and corresponding yields as if all interest income were fully taxable. The change in interest due to both rate/volume has been allocated entirely to change due to rate.
Earning Assets and Interest Income Earning Assets: In 1994, earning assets averaged $45.6 billion, an increase of $3.1 billion (7.3%). This follows an increase of $920 million (2.2%) in 1993 and a decline of $423 million (1.0%) in 1992. Over the last year, the loan component of earning assets increased as a result of increased demand and the completion of 10 acquisitions. The lower level of loans in the two preceding years reflected adverse economic conditions resulting in lower demand as well as the Corporation's focus on improving credit quality. The average yield on earning assets was 7.04% in 1994, versus 6.96% in 1993 and 7.71% in 1992. The current trend of increasing loan growth and a decline in the investment securities portfolio reflecting maturities is expected to continue throughout 1995. The following table provides a comparison of average earning asset volumes for the last three years:

Loans: Including the effect of acquisitions, average loans totaled $28.6 billion in 1994, an increase of $4.5 billion (18.7%). This follows declines of 6.1% and 16.3% in 1993 and 1992, respectively. Total loans accounted for approximately 63% of average earning assets in 1994, up from approximately 57% in 1993 and 62% in 1992. Loan growth is expected to continue during 1995. Nearly half of the growth in average loans from the 1993 level reflects higher average real estate mortgage outstandings (commercial and residential), which were up $2.2 billion (40.1%) to an average of $7.6 billion in 1994. This follows declines of 1.1% in 1993 and 3.1% in 1992. Most of the increase in 1994 reflects the Corporation's acquisition program, particularly in California. The combined average yield on the real estate mortgage portfolio was 7.63% in 1994, versus 8.18% in 1993 and 8.85% in 1992. Instalment loans increased $1.7 billion (17.3%) from the average 1993 level. This follows an increase of 1.9% in 1993 and a decline of 3.7% in 1992. The average yield on instalment loans was 9.25% in 1994 versus 10.09% in 1993 and 10.76% in 1992. The Corporation continues its focus on retail banking and increasing its market share in the communities in which it operates. Average commercial loans rose $669 million (8.8%) in 1994 to $8.3 billion. This increase is largely the result of loan demand and renewed marketing efforts. Commercial loan volumes declined 6.1% in 1993 and 22.4% in 1992. The average yield on the commercial loan portfolio increased to 6.79% in 1994, compared to 6.25% in 1993 and 6.91% in 1992. Construction loans averaged $806 million in 1994, down $107 million (11.7%) from the year earlier. This follows declines of 47.7% in 1993 and 34.8% in 1992. The combined yield on the construction portfolio rose to 9.42% in 1994, compared to 6.83% in 1993 and 6.25% in 1992. Foreign loans, primarily short term trade finance activity, averaged $83 million in 1994, down $77 million (48.1%). This follows declines of 60.6% in 1993 and 65.0% in 1992 and reflects the sale of approximately $1.1 billion of foreign loans in 1992. The average yield on foreign loans was 5.59% in 1994, compared to 4.48% in 1993 and 5.85% in 1992. Lease financing balances increased to an average of $222 million in 1994 from an average of $81 million in 1993. This follows reductions of 60.1% in 1993 and 66.8% in 1992. The average yield on lease financing was 7.17% in 1994, versus 8.42% in 1993 and 10.57% in 1992. At December 31, 1994, including both the effect of acquisitions and an increase in new loan originations, loans and leases totaled $33.2 billion, an increase of $7.2 billion (27.8%) from the $26.0 billion reported a year earlier. Instalment loans increased $1.5 billion (14.0%) to $12.3 billion at yearend. Growth of these consumer loans reflects the success of marketing programs targeting the sale of such products. At the same time, commercial loans increased $1.3 billion (16.2%) to $9.3 billion at yearend 1994. Residential real estate mortgages totaled $5.8 billion, $2.9 billion (99.4%) above a year ago, while commercial mortgages were up $1.1 billion (30.1%) to $4.4 billion at yearend 1994. Construction loans were $984 million at the end of 1994, an increase of $208 million (28.7%) from a year earlier. The Corporation expects that core loan growth will continue through 1995. Investment Securities: The investment securities portfolio averaged $15.9 billion in 1994, an increase of $381 million (2.4%) from the 1993 average. This follows increases of $4.3 billion (37.8%) in 1993 and $4.2 billion (59.9%) in 1992. The sharp increases in the investment securities portfolio in 1992 and 1993 affected the ongoing changes in the mix of earning assets, reducing the share of loans and increasing the volume of other investment alternatives. This pattern was reversed in 1994 as loan growth exceeded deposit growth and proceeds of maturing securities were used to fund loans, a trend that should continue during 1995. At December 31, 1994, total investment securities were $13.9 billion, down $2.7 billion (16.3%) from a year earlier. U.S. Treasury and agency securities declined $2.9 billion (19.4%) from a year earlier to a total of $12.1 billion at the end of 1994. All other investment securities amounted to $1.8 billion at yearend, up 5.9% from a year earlier. The following table compares the average life, book value and approximate market value of the investment securities portfolio at December 31, 1994 and 1993:

The average yield on U.S. Treasury and agency securities was 5.34% in 1994, versus 5.59% in 1993 and 6.69% in 1992. The average yield on all other securities was 5.67% in 1994, compared to 5.54% and 6.32% in 1993 and 1992, respectively. The average yield on the entire held-to-maturity portfolio was 5.37% in 1994, compared to 5.59% in 1993 and 6.65% in 1992.

Investment securities are purchased for the primary purpose of deploying excess liquidity while accommodating anticipated loan growth by employing an investment strategy of "laddering" maturities and maintaining a short duration portfolio. A laddered portfolio generates uniform cash flows throughout the year that can be redeployed to loans as needed or reinvested. Under SFAS 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," the Corporation at the time of purchase determines whether such securities are to be "held-to-maturity" or "available-for-sale." The Corporation has adopted an investment strategy with the intent and ability to hold securities to maturity and classified $13.7 billion of securities as held-to maturity at December 31, 1994. Securities classified as held-to-maturity are carried at amortized cost. Changes in estimated fair market value are not reflected on the balance sheet or income statement. The Corporation's investment strategy of maintaining a short duration portfolio consisting of low volatility instruments proved effective at minimizing the risk to market value during the substantial rise in interest rates in 1994. Yields on one- and twoyear U.S. Treasury securities, for example, rose by approximately 350 basis points each during the year. This increase in rates resulted in an unrecognized market value loss of $415 million at December 31, 1994, or 3.0% of the book value of the portfolio. In addition, the duration of the portfolio increased slightly to 1.6 years at December 31, 1994, from 1.3 years at December 31, 1993, reflecting limited extension of portfolio securities. The Corporation's management philosophy is that the investment securities portfolio is one component of an integrated balance sheet. Changes in interest rates affect certain components of the balance sheet, including the investment securities portfolio. As interest rates rose in 1994, the market value decline in the investment portfolio was mitigated by market value increases in other components of the balance sheet, specifically core deposits. This is further supported by an increase in the net interest margin to 5.14% for 1994 from 4.91% for 1993. Other Earning Assets: While loans and investment securities are the primary components of earning assets, available funds are also deployed into other revenue- producing instruments that are low risk and highly liquid. Offset by strong growth in higher-yielding loans, interest bearing time deposits due from banks declined $962 million (71.7%) to an average of $380 million in 1994. This follows a decline of $886 million (39.8%) in 1993 and an increase of $471 million (26.8%) in 1992. The level of the interbank placement of funds typically expands and contracts in conjunction with the liquidity and yields available in the market and alternative investments for such funds. Federal funds sold and repurchase agreements averaged $471 million in 1994, a decline of $811 million (63.3%). This follows a decline of 24.9% in 1993 and an increase of 20.0% in 1992. It is expected that these earning assets will essentially remain flat during 1995. At December 31, 1994, interest bearing time deposits due from banks totaled $26 million, a substantial decline of $1.1 billion (97.8%) from the level a year earlier. At the same time, federal funds sold and repurchase agreements dropped $439 million (71.0%) to $179 million. Average Yields: The average yields on the major categories of earning assets for the last three years are presented in the following table: AVERAGE YIELDS (%)(1) 1994 1993 1992 Commercial, financial and agricultural 6.79 6.25 6.91 Real estate construction 9.42 6.83 6.25 Real estate mortgage 7.63 8.18 8.85 Instalment 9.25 10.09 10.76 Foreign 5.59 4.48 5.85 Lease financing 7.17 8.42 10.57 Total loans 8.09 8.26 8.77 Trading account securities 4.55 5.57 6.00 Held-to-maturity securities: U.S. Treasury and agencies 5.34 5.59 6.69 Other 5.67 5.54 6.32 Total held-to-maturity securities 5.37 5.59 6.65 Securities available-for-sale 4.11 3.90 4.61 Federal funds, repurchases 3.98 3.10 3.84 Time deposits, due from banks 3.61 3.42 4.17 Other assets held for sale 7.51 10.00 8.28 TOTAL EARNING ASSETS 7.04 6.96 7.71 First Interstate average prime rate 7.15 6.00 6.25 (1)Taxable-equivalent basis. Sources of Funds and Interest Expense Earning assets are supported by various sources of funds, each of which is continuously monitored to ensure adequate liquidity to satisfy customer demand and fund the Corporation's operations. The primary source of funds is a broad and diversified base of core deposits gathered by a network of 1,137 domestic banking offices in 13 states. Core deposits include interest bearing consumer funds described below and demand and noninterest bearing time deposits, which are included in the discussion of noninterest sources. Core deposits reduce the Corporation's dependence on corporate purchased funds. Core deposits represented 98% of average deposits in 1994 and 1993, versus 97% in 1992. Core deposits, less cash and due from banks, supported 88% of average earning assets in 1994, up from 86% in 1993 and 84% in 1992. Total interest bearing sources of funds increased $1.8 billion (5.8%) to an average of $32.8 billion in 1994. This follows declines of $1.1 billion (3.5%) in 1993 and $1.3 billion (3.8%) in 1992. The average rate paid on total interest bearing liabilities was 2.64% in 1994, versus 2.81% in 1993 and 3.66% in 1992. The Corporation expects that these rates will increase in 1995, reflecting the seven market rate increases since the beginning of 1994. A breakdown of the Corporation's interest bearing sources of funds follows:

Interest Bearing Consumer Funds: These sources consist of various types of interest bearing deposits in retail accounts. Combined balances averaged $29.7 billion in 1994, up 7.2% from the $27.7 billionreported in 1993 and $27.5 billion reported in 1992. The average rate paid on consumer funds in 1994 was 2.31%, down from 2.48% in 1993 and3.24% in 1992. The Corporation expects that average rates paid on interest bearing consumer funds will increase in 1995. At December 31, 1994, interest bearing consumer funds totaled $30.5 billion, an increase from the $28.2 billion reported a year earlier. Corporate Purchased Funds: While the interest bearing consumer funds described above provide the primary source of funding, liabilities raised in the money markets provide an important additional source of liquidity. These funds consist of large certificates of deposit, short term borrowings and long term debt. Corporate purchased funds averaged $3.1 billion in 1994, a decline of $187 million (5.6%). This follows declines of $1.3 billion (28.8%) in 1993 and $1.2 billion (20.4%) in 1992. The declines in recent years reflect the impact of pricing on some of the Corporation's liability products, as well as the repurchase and redemption of long term debt during 1993. The combined cost of corporate purchased funds averaged 5.74% in 1994, versus 5.57% in 1993 and 6.09% in 1992. Corporate purchased funds totaled $4.3 billion at yearend 1994, an increase of $995 million (29.9%) from a year earlier. It is expected that corporate purchased funds will increase in 1995 to the extent that loan growth exceeds deposit growth and investment securities maturities. As of December 31, 1994, time certificates of deposit of $100,000 or more mature as follows: Within Three to six to 12 After12 AMOUNTS (millions) three months six months months months Total Time certificates of deposit $633 $207 $198 $271 $1,309 Other time deposits 88 1 17 30 136 Interest Expense: Interest rates paid over the past three years on the liability accounts discussed above are summarized in the following table: AVERAGE RATES PAID (%) 1994 1993 1992 Regular savings 2.08 2.25 2.80 NOW accounts and demand_market interest 1.25 1.52 2.08 Savings_market interest 2.35 2.40 3.17 Other savings and time under $100,000 3.69 3.81 4.73 Total interest bearing consumer funds 2.31 2.48 3.24 Large CDs, other money market funds 3.63 3.54 3.50 Short term borrowings 5.16 3.72 3.61 Long term debt 7.63 7.19 7.36 Total corporate purchased funds 5.74 5.57 6.09 TOTAL 2.64 2.81 3.66 At December 31, 1994, 90% of the Parent Corporation's long term debt had fixed coupon rates. Of this amount, 49% was converted to floating rate debt using interest rate swaps. The effect to net interest income for the years ending December 31, 1994, and December 31, 1993, was a positive increase of approximately $16 million and $47 million, respectively. Net Noninterest Sources: Noninterest sources of funds consist of demand deposits, net of cash and due from banks, and other noninterest bearing liabilities, as well as shareholders' equity and the allowance for credit losses, less net fixed assets and other assets. Demand deposits area major, stable source of funding for the Corporation and have increased steadily over the last three years. At December 31, 1994, demand and other noninterest bearing deposits increased to $16.6 billion (34% of total deposits), versus $15.4 billion (35%) a year earlier. Investable demand deposits averaged $10.3 billion in 1994, up 16.4% from the $8.9 billion average in 1993. Of the other categories of average net noninterest sources, equity capital increased $121 million, reflecting the addition of retained earnings net of the effect of the stock buyback, as well as the increase in bank premises and equipment. The average volumes of noninterest funding sources for the last three years are shown in the following table:

Net Interest Income Taxable-equivalent net interest income amounted to $2,347.9 million in 1994, an increase of $261.2 million (12.5%) from 1993. This follows a 2.7% increase in 1993 and a 4.0% decline in 1992. The higher level of taxable-equivalent net interest income in 1994 resulted primarily from earning asset growth, up $3.1 billion (7.3%). This growth follows an increase of 2.2% in 1993 and a decline of 1.0% in 1992. In addition, the net interest margin increased 23 basis points in 1994 to 5.14%, versus 4.91% in 1993 and 4.89% in 1992. Provision for Credit Losses The Corporation recorded no provision for credit losses in 1994, which reflects significant improvements in credit quality. The Corporation has experienced a substantial reduction in the level of net chargeoffs, which declined to $133.0 million in 1994 from $218.1 million in 1993 and $459.6 million in 1992. The provision for credit losses totaled $112.6 million in 1993 and $314.3 million in 1992. In January 1995, the Corporation adopted SFAS 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan." It is not expected that adoption of this statement will have a material impact on 1995 earnings. Refer to the Risk Elements section of this report for a more complete discussion of the Corporation's credit profile. Noninterest Income Noninterest income totaled $1,054.3 million in 1994, an increase of $100.1 million (10.5%) from the level of a year earlier. Among the recurring categories of noninterest income, service charges on deposit accounts rose $48.9 million (9.5%) from 1993 and trust fees increased $15.9 million (9.0%). These compare to 1993 increases in deposit service charges and trust fees of 7.1% and 4.2%, respectively. Noninterest income in 1994 benefited from venture capital gains of $28.3 million, of which $17.0 million were reported as investment securities gains and $11.3 million were reported as other income. Of the 1993 investment securities gains, $8.1 million resulted from the sale of equity interests. Noninterest income in 1994 also benefited from interest on state tax settlements of $10.5 million. The increases in 1994 were offset in part by a lower level of other charges, commissions and fees, which declined $17.4 million (11.6%) in 1994. This decline resulted primarily from a reduction in the sale of various investment products. The major categories of noninterest income are included in the following table:

Noninterest Expenses Noninterest expenses totaled $2,197.8 million in 1994, versus $2,032.4 million in 1993 and $2,209.2 million in 1992. The $165.4 million (8.1%) increase in 1994 includes the $141.3 million restructuringcharges, as previously noted. Excluding the restructuring charges, 1994 noninterest expenses including the impact of completed acquisitions rose $24.1 million (1.2%). Net ORE expenses dropped $46.0 million in 1994 to a net recovery of $12.4 million. This follows a drop of $126.0 million in 1993 and reflects the declining level of ORE over the last three years. Including acquisitions and increased pension costs, salaries and other staff expenses increased $104.6 million (10.7%) in 1994 to $1,079.9 million. This follows a $60.1 million (5.8%) decline in 1993. Including acquisitions, the December 1994 staff level of 27,394 was up 805 (3.0%) full-time equivalent employees from December 1993. This follows a decline of 1.5% in 1993. In January 1994, the Corporation adopted SFAS 112, "Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits." Implementation of this statement did not have a material impact on the Corporation's results. The Corporation's efficiency ratio, which reflects noninterest expenses before restructuring and ORE charges as a percent of taxable-equivalent net interest income plus noninterest income, was 60.8% for all of 1994. This compares to 65.7% in 1993 and 69.6% in 1992. The Corporation expects to achieve an efficiency ratio of 58% in 1995. The major categories of noninterest expenses are included in the following table:

Income Taxes For 1994, the Corporation recorded income tax expense of $449.5 million on pre-tax income of $1,183.0 million, resulting in an effective income tax rate of 38.0%. This compares to an effective rate of 36.3% for 1993. The lower effective tax rate in 1993 included the benefits of two events. First, the Corporation recorded a $12.4 million benefit resulting from the enactment of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993. This benefit reflects the effect of the increase in the federal statutory rate from 34% to 35% on the Corporation's net deferred tax assets as of the date of enactment. In addition, the Corporation recognized a $9.0 million benefit from the utilization in 1993 of foreign tax credit carryforwards. As of January 1, 1993, the Corporation adopted SFAS 109 on a prospective basis. The cumulative effect of the adoption of SFAS 109 increased net income by $305.0 million, and is reported separately in the consolidated statement of earnings. The Corporation's effective tax rate in 1995 is expected to approximate 38%-39%. Asset, Liability and Capital Management The objective of the asset, liability and capital management function is to structure the balance sheet to provide high levels of returns while maintaining acceptable levels of credit risk, interest rate risk, liquidity and capital. This process is managed on a consolidated basis by the Asset, Liability and Capital Committee (ALCCO), which establishes policies and procedures that define the goals and parameters for the management of individual operating units regarding liquidity, capital, investments, interest rate risk management and derivative contracts. Compliance with these policies is reported to ALCCO, which meets on a regular basis. Interest Rate Sensitivity: Interest rate risk can be measured along a variety of dimensions, including its impact on net interest income as well as the market value of portfolio equity. First Interstate relies on a combination of gap analysis and simulations of net interest income to measure and manage interest rate risk. Traditional "gap" analysis represents interest rate risk in terms of the mismatch between the stated repricing and maturities of the Corporation's earning assets and liabilities within defined time periods. At December 31, 1994, the cumulative 90 day contractual gap for the consolidated Corporation was a negative $0.3 billion, representing 0.7% of earning assets, and the cumulative one- year contractual gap was a positive $3.6 billion, representing7.5% of earning assets, as shown in the following table. In other words, approximately equal amounts of the Corporation's assets and liabilities reprice or mature within a 90 day period, and 7.5% of the Corporation's earning assets reprice or mature more quickly than the liabilities within one year.

The "managerial" gap reflects the expected repricing or maturity of assets and liabilities as opposed to their contractual maturity. This refinement to gap analysis incorporates the options that are embedded in the balance sheet, the anticipated prepayment behavior of various asset products, particularly mortgage-backed securities and mortgage loans, and the effective maturity of various liability products with indeterminate maturities. For the purpose of constructing the "managerial" gap, prepayment rates for loans and investment securities are projected to be in line with general market expectations for these products. Specific deposit assumptions are based on historical experience for repricing sensitivity and the average life of deposit balances. Adjusting for these factors, the Corporation was asset sensitive, with $2.9 billion (6.1%) of its assets repricing more quickly than liabilities. The $2.1 billion increase in the cumulative one year gap from yearend 1993 principally reflects a reduction in the amount of fixed rate securities in the investment portfolio along with an increase in the amount of adjustable rate loans. In particular, adjustable rate mortgages increased significantly with the acquisition of Sacramento Savings Bank.

Gap analysis provides only a static view of the Corporation's interest rate sensitivity at a specific point in time. The actual impact of interest rate movements on the Corporation's net interest income may differ from that implied by any gap measurement. The actual impact on net interest income may depend on the direction and magnitude of the interest rate movement, as well as competitive and market pressures. Given the complexity of these dynamics, the Corporation regularly performs analysis of its interest rate sensitivity using simulation analysis. This approach measures the risk to net interest income due to changes in underlying market rates while considering the dynamic aspects of the balance sheet,repricing and prepayment behavior under varying rate scenarios. In addition, simulation models capture the impacts of any embedded options, such as caps and floors, as well as relationships between rates that are not easily represented in a gap analysis. The simulation model is used to create one and three year changes in net interest income levels, which are compared to limits which ALCCO has established on the amount of earnings that may be put at risk due to changes in market interest rates. The simulation results are generally well within the established limits, but the actual position at any given time is a function of available asset opportunities, historical and expected interest rates, and long term balance sheet trends. For example, should market interest rates remain unchanged or continue to move higher, deposit pricing pressure is expected to reduce the positive impact on net interest margin that an asset sensitive gap position suggests. Similarly, if market rates begin to decline, industry pressure on deposit prices may limit the Corporation's ability to reprice liabilities quickly. Liquidity Management: This section should be read in conjunction with the consolidated and Parent Corporation's statements of cash flows included elsewhere in this report. Liquidity refers to the Corporation's ability or the financial flexibility to adjust its future cash flows to meet the needs of depositors and borrowers and to fund operationson a timely and cost effective basis. The Corporation's liquidity policy is designed to draw upon its strengths, which include an extensive interstate retail banking franchise. Core deposits have always provided the Corporation's banking subsidiaries with a major source of stable and relatively low-cost funding. Cash and cash equivalents declined $564 million for the year ended December 31, 1994. Net cash provided by investing activities during 1994 totaled $129 million. Maturities of investment securities in the held-tomaturity portfolio, net of purchases, provided cash of $3,618 million. Maturities and sales of investment securities in the available-for-sale portfolio, net of purchases, provided $193 million. Loan originations, net of repayments, used cash of $5,688 million. Proceeds from the sale of loans provided $3,054 million, while the purchase of loans used $1,263 million. Net cash used by financing activities totaled $2,048 million during 1994. Deposits, excluding the purchase of $315 million from the Resolution Trust Corporation as part of the Corporation's ongoing acquisition program, exhibited a net decrease of $1,878 million. The Corporation also reported a net increase of $580 million in short term borrowings. These borrowings were primarily federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase. The Corporation continues to have no commercial paper outstanding. Proceeds from the issuance of long term debt provided $125 million, while maturities of long term debt required cash of $270 million. Repurchases of common stock used cash of $712 million, while cash dividends totaled $251 million. Cash provided by operations during 1994 totaled $1,355 million. Net income totaled $734 million and noncash adjustments to reconcile net income totaled $416 million. Net changes in other assets, other liabilities and trading account securities increased cash from operations by $205 million. Given the outlook for loan generation and the prevailing economicconditions which serve to limit the Corporation's prospects to increase deposits, the trend of funding increases in the loan portfolio with maturities and paydowns from investment securities should continue in the near future. As a result, the investment portfolio is expected to show year-toyear declines again in 1995. The Parent Corporation's statement of cash flows includes a $295 million decrease in cash and cash equivalents during 1994. The Parent Corporation had $219 million of cash and other short term financial instruments at yearend 1994, a decline of $433 million from yearend 1993 that resulted primarily from the common stock repurchase program described in the Capital Management section. In 1994, affiliate banks paid a total of $605 million in dividends to the Parent Corporation. This represents an increase of $114 million from the $491 million paid in 1993 and reflects continued improved operating performance at affiliate banks and the bank capital restructuring activities undertaken in 1994. The Parent Corporation had no external short term borrowings outstanding at yearend 1994. At current rates, interest on long term debt and preferred stock dividend requirements total $129 million for 1995 and $121 million for 1996. In addition, $128 million of the Parent Corporation's long term debt will mature in 1995 and $192 million will mature in 1996. The Parent Corporation expects to retire this long term debt as it matures. Under the appropriate circumstances, the Parent Corporation could consider repurchasing any of its outstanding securities. Immediate liquidity available to the Corporation includes a $500 million senior revolving credit facility. On December 9, 1994, the Corporation announced the establishment of its $1 billion Global Medium Term Note Program. The program will allow for senior and subordinated debt and capital securities issuance in a number of countries and over a broad spectrum of maturities. The Corporation's other sources of liquidity include maturing securities in addition to those which are available for sale or repurchase activity. In addition, affiliate banks may directly access funds placed by them through existing agency agreements for the placements of federal funds and may also access the Federal Reserve for short term liquidity needs. The Parent Corporation has access to regional, national and international capital and money markets. The Corporation's debt securities are rated by Moody's Investors Service (Moody's), Standard & Poor's Corp. (S&P), Thomson BankWatch (Thomson) and Duff & Phelps Credit Rating Co. (D&P). These debt securities were upgraded by Moody's in November 1994, by S&P in December 1993, by Thomson in December 1994, and by D&P in January 1994. The upgrades should have a positive effect on the Corporation's funding costs. Securities and Loans: At December 31, 1994, securities maturing within one year amounted to $3.5 billion, or 25.5% of the held-tomaturity portfolio. The weighted average expected maturity of total held-to-maturity securities was 25 months at yearend 1994, compared to the weighted average maturities of 21 months in 1993 and 24 months at the end of 1992. The average expected maturities of U.S. Treasury and agency securities were 22 months, 20 months and 25 months at yearend 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. The comparable maturities of tax-exempt securities were 34 months, 32 months and 26 months at the same dates. The contractual maturity distribution of the major categories of investment securities in the held-to- maturity and availableforsale portfolios at December 31, 1994, is presented in the following table:

As indicated in the preceding table, securities held to maturity that mature within one year totaled $3.5 billion on a contractual basis at yearend 1994. Contractual maturities plus estimated prepayments during 1995 are expected to equal approximately $5.8 billion. The contractual maturity schedule of the loan portfolio, excluding instalment and real estate mortgage loans, is detailed in the following table:
Within One to five After five AMOUNTS (millions) one year years years Total Commercial, financial and agricultural $4,706 $3,531 $1,057 $ 9,294 Real estate construction 779 124 59 962 Foreign 49 54 37 140 TOTAL $5,534 $3,709 $1,153 $10,396
As shown in the preceding table, loans maturing within one year totaled $5.5 billion at yearend 1994. The Corporation's policy on maturity extensions and rollovers is based on management's assessment of individual loans. Approvals for the extension or renewal of loans without reduction of principal for more than one 12-month period are generally avoided, unless fully secured and properly margined by cash or marketable securities, or are revolving lines subject to annual analysis and renewal. The following table details the remaining $4.9 billion of loans with maturities exceeding one year: AMOUNTS (millions) Fixed Rate Adjustable Rate Total Commercial, financial and agricultural $1,746 $2,842 $4,588 Real estate construction 45 138 183 Foreign 9 82 91 TOTAL $1,800 $3,062 $4,862 Capital Management: The current and projected capital position of the Corporation and its affiliates and the impact of capital plans on both short term and long term strategies is reviewed regularly by senior management. In April 1994, the Board of Directors approved a 50% increase in the quarterly cash dividend on the Corporation's common stock from $0.50 to $0.75 per share. In the first half of 1994, the Board of Directors approved the repurchase of up to 8 million shares of common stock from time to time during the year, subject to market conditions and appropriate regulatory and acquisition accounting requirements. Additionally, in connection with the acquisition of Levy Bancorp, the Board approved in September 1994 the buyback of up to 1.2 million shares of common stock. The repurchase programs were completed in 1994; a total of 9.1 million shares were repurchased. The average cost of common stock held in the treasury at yearend 1994 was $73.64. On March 18, 1994, in conjunction with completion of the acquisition of San Diego Financial Corporation, the Corporation recorded additional equity of $61.8 million through the issuance of 5.1 million shares of its common stock. An additional 702,033 shares, with proceeds of $30.3 million, were issued under the Stock Option Plan. During 1994, the Corporation recorded common stock dividends of $218.2 million and preferred stock dividends of $33.3 million. Under Federal Reserve Board regulations, the minimum capital ratios required are 4.00% for Tier 1 and 8.00% for Total Capital. Under these regulations, a well-capitalized institution is defined as having a Tier 1 ratio of 6.00%, a Total Capital ratio of 10.00% and a leverage ratio of 5.00%. At yearend 1994, the Corporation and all subsidiary banks exceeded the minimum requirements of wellcapitalized institutions. The decline in the Corporation's various capital ratios largely resulted from the common stock repurchase programs, completed acquisitions and growth in riskadjusted assets. The following tables detail the capital and leverage positions of the Corporation over the last two years:
RISK-BASED CAPITAL December 31, 1994 December 31, 1993 RATIOS (dollars in millions) $ % $ % Tier 1 Capital 2,882 7.20 3,313 9.88 Tier 1 Capital minimum requirement 1,601 4.00 1,341 4.00 Excess 1,281 3.20 1,972 5.88 Total Capital 4,091 10.22 4,385 13.08 Total Capital minimum requirement 3,203 8.00 2,683 8.00 Excess 888 2.22 1,702 5.08 Risk-adjusted assets, net of goodwill, nonqualifying intangibles, excess allowance and excess deferred tax assets 40,041 _ 33,533 _

Total intangibles amounted to $561 million at December 31, 1994, versus $233 million a year earlier. The higher level at yearend 1994 reflects the completion of 10 acquisitions during the year. Goodwill increased to $514 million from $204 million at yearend 1993. All other intangibles amounted to $47 million and $29 million at yearend 1994 and 1993, respectively, while excess deferred tax assets totaled $21 million and $31 million, respectively. Risk Elements The U.S. economy staged a strong performance in 1994, with real growth of 4.0%. Increases in consumer spending, home construction, business investment in capital equipment, and inventory building spurred sizable gains in bank loans. While inflation remained well contained, with consumer prices up an average of less than 3.0%, the Federal Reserve acted to prevent a future buildup in inflation and raised interest rates seven times since the beginning of 1994. Long-term interest rates rose sharply early in 1994 before edging lower at yearend. In 1995, the delayed effects of monetary tightening should slow the nation's economic growth closer to the Federal Reserve's long term goal of about 2.5%. Consumer spending and inventory building should moderate, while home-building subsides from its 1994 peak. Inflation will show some acceleration, but consumer prices are still likely to rise an average of less than 3.5%. The yield curve is expected to flatten, with an easing in long term rates. All 13 states in the First Interstate Territory should record positive job growth in 1995 for a second consecutive year and most should outperform the nation. Ongoing population gains, rising exports, and the region's technology clusters will support increases in jobs and personal income. California can be expected to counter the national trend of slower growth compared with 1994. The Territory's various local economies, however, will remain vulnerable to further reductions in defense spending, including a new round of base closings in 1995. Another large upswing in both short and long term interest rates would also pose a significant risk to interestsensitive sectors in the region. Credit Risk: The Corporation manages its credit risk by establishing and implementing strategies appropriate to the characteristics of borrowers, industries, geographic locations and risk products. Diversification of risk within each of these areas is a primary objective. Policies and procedures are developed to ensure that loan commitments conform to current strategies and guidelines. Management continues to refine the Corporation's credit policies and procedures to address the risks in the current and prospective environment and to reflect management's current strategic focus. The credit process is controlled with continuous review and analysis. It is supported by independent evaluation of the portfolio's quality by internal credit review, internal and external auditors and regulatory authorities. The Corporation has collateral management policies in place to ensure that collateral lending of all types is approached on a basis consistent with safe and sound standards. Valuation analysis is utilized to take into consideration the potentially adverse economic conditions under which liquidation could occur. Collateral accepted against the commercial loan portfolio includes accounts receivable and inventory, marketable securities, equipment, and agricultural products. Autos, second trust deeds, and marketable securities are accepted as collateral for the instalment loan portfolio. Securities: At December 31, 1994, the Corporation had $13.9 billion of investment securities, of which 87.7% were U.S. Treasury and agency securities. The remaining 12.3% of the investment portfolio consisted primarily of AAA-rated, welldiversified, asset-backed securities. The Corporation's investment policy requires investments to be made with an emphasis on geographic and issuer diversification. Other than the U.S. government and agencies, the Corporation has no other significant concentration of any single issuer in its investment securities portfolio. In addition to maintaining a low-risk credit profile, the Corporation has established investment securities policies and procedures to manage and monitor the interest rate risk exposure of the portfolio. Investments are directed toward low volatility instruments to minimize interest rate risk. At December 31, 1994, 41% of the portfolio was invested in short term U.S. Treasury and direct agency securities with a duration of 0.9 years. Fixed rate collateralized mortgage obligations structured to stabilize cash flows during volatile interest rate environments accounted for 31% of securities holdings with a duration of 1.5 years. U.S. agency mortgage pass-through securities with a duration of 3.0 years represented 20% of the portfolio. The remaining 8% of the portfolio consisted primarily of short term asset-backed securities collateralized by consumer receivables with a duration of 2.3 years. The Corporation held no leveraged instruments, structured notes or securities defined as "High Risk Mortgage Securities" under current regulatory guidelines. Loans and ORE: At yearend 1994, the Corporation's commercial loan portfolio of $9.3 billion was diversified with no single industry representing over 10% of total commercial loans. The residential mortgage, commercial mortgage and real estate construction portfolios accounted for $5.8 billion, $4.4 billion and $0.9 billion, respectively, of total loans. The following table presents a breakdown of outstanding real estate loans by geographic location at yearend 1994 and 1993. Outstandings reported by state may represent loans and ORE that are held by subsidiaries other than the banking affiliate headquartered in those states.

Real estate related assets comprised 72% of total nonperforming assets at the end of 1994, versus 75% in 1993 and 66% in 1992. Net chargeoffs of real estate construction and mortgage loans combined amounted to $25.0 million in 1994, a substantial decline from $81.6 million in 1993 and $212.7 million in 1992. Management considers such comparisons in determining the level and the allocation of the allowance for credit losses. The portion of the allowance allocated to real estate was approximately 14% at yearend 1994, versus 12% in 1993 and 18% in 1992. California At December 31, 1994, First Interstate Bank of California accounted for 45% of total assets, 41% of loans and 44% of total deposits. Despite the initial devastation of the Northridge earthquake in January 1994, California's economy rebounded and continues in the early phases of economic recovery. It is currently estimated that the state added 100,000 to 150,000 nonfarm jobs during 1994, with most of the gains occurring in the services sector. However, other sectors are also adding to payrolls, including construction, retail trade, government, and nondefense manufacturing. California's unemployment rate fell about 1.5 percentage points between the first and final quarters of 1994. In addition, retail sales advanced approximately 5% during 1994. With inflation running at 2%, last year thus marked the first time since 1990 in which consumers registered a real spending gain. A healthier economy has also contributed to stronger than anticipated growth in state government revenues and a slowing in the rate of residential and commercial foreclosures. The state's housing market is also helping California's economy recover. Home sales advanced substantially and residential building permits increased approximately 15% in 1994, with both single-family and multi-family permits recording double-digit gains. More importantly, the downward slide in home prices appears to be abating throughout most areas of the state. California homeowners can expect home values to begin rising again perhaps as early as spring 1995. Cross-Border Outstandings _ The Corporation had no crossborder outstandings in excess of 0.75% of consolidated assets at December 31, 1994. The following table details the Corporation's cross-border outstandings to foreign countries that represent 0.75% or more of assets for 1993 and 1992: Banks and Percent CROSS-BORDER OUTSTANDINGS(1) Other Financial All of Total (millions) Institutions Other Total Assets At December 31, 1993 Japan $ 927 $_ $ 927 1.80% At December 31, 1992 Japan 1,957 8 1,965 3.86 Italy 568 _ 568 1.12 (1)Cross-border outstandings are defined as total loans(including accrued interest), acceptances, interbank placements, other interest bearing investments and other monetary assets denominated in dollars or other non-local currency, net of third party guarantees and cash collateral. There were no outstandingsto governments andofficial institutions of Japan or Italy for the years presented. Derivatives: The Corporation has engaged in minimal derivative activities. Refer to Note M to the financial statements for further information on derivatives. Credit Losses: Loans charged off, net of recoveries, amounted to $133.0 million in 1994, down substantially from $218.1 million in 1993 and $459.6 million in 1992. Net chargeoffs represented 0.46% of average loans in 1994, compared to 0.90% in 1993 and 1.79% in 1992. Net chargeoffs of real estate construction and mortgage loans totaled $25.0 million in 1994, down substantially from $81.6 million in 1993 and $212.7 million in 1992. The high level of chargeoffs in 1993 and 1992 reflects, in part, the revaluation of land loans, primarily in California. Overall, there is continued improvement in the Corporation's credit risk profile. The following table summarizes the Corporation's loan loss experience for the last five years:

Allowance for Credit Losses: The allowance for credit losses is maintained at a level considered appropriate by management and is based on the ongoing assessment of the risks inherent in the loan portfolio, as well as on the possible impact of known and potential problems in certain off- balance sheet financial instruments and uncertain events. In evaluating the adequacy of total and subsidiary reserves, management incorporates such factors as collateral value, portfolio composition, loan concentrations, trends in local economic conditions and evaluation of the financial strength of borrowers. Allocation of the allowance for credit losses by loan category is based on management's assessment of potential losses in the respective portfolios. While reserves are allocated to specific loans and to portfolio segments, the allowance is predominantly general in nature and is available for the portfolio in its entirety. In order to commonize reserve strength, the Corporation's management adjusted levels of the allowance for credit losses among the major bank subsidiaries as of yearend 1994. This action had no effect on the Corporation's consolidated financial statements, as there was no change in the consolidated allowance. At December 31, 1994, the allowance for credit losses amounted to $934 million, or 2.81% of total outstanding loans. This compares to $1,001 million, or 3.85% at yearend 1993 and $1,068 million, or 4.41% at yearend 1992. The following table details the Corporation's allocation of the allowance for credit losses for the last five years:

Nonperforming Assets: Loans are generally identified as nonperforming when the payment of principal or interest is 90 days past due, or sooner if management believes that collection is doubtful, or when loans are renegotiated below market interest rates. In addition to nonperforming loans, the Corporation holds ORE acquired through foreclosure. Composition of the Corporation's portfolio of nonperforming assets is shown in the following table: December 31 NONPERFORMING ASSETS (millions) 1994 1993 1992 1991 1990 Nonaccruing loans:(1) Domestic:(2) Secured by real estate $113.7 $149.3 $322.3 $ 684.3 $ 460.5 Other 72.5 77.3 255.5 394.3 439.6 Total domestic 186.2 226.6 577.8 1,078.6 900.1 Foreign _ _ _ 16.0 25.5 186.2 226.6 577.8 1,094.6 925.6 Renegotiated loans:(3) Domestic Secured by real estate _ _ _ _ 0.2 Other _ _ 0.4 0.1 2.7 Total domestic _ _ 0.4 0.1 2.9 Total nonperforming loans 186.2 226.6 578.2 1,094.7 928.5 Other Real Estate 72.0 82.1 172.9 493.1 820.8 TOTAL $258.2 $308.7 $751.1 $1,587.8 $1,749.3 %of total assets 0.5 0.6 1.5 3.2 3.4 Accruing loans past due 90 days or more: Domestic(2) Instalment $ 26.1 $ 29.8 $ 30.5 $ 27.5 $ 35.0 Other 25.1 36.3 22.8 43.0 28.8 Total Domestic 51.2 66.1 53.3 70.5 63.8 Foreign _ _ _ _ 10.6 TOTAL $ 51.2 $ 66.1 $ 53.3 $ 70.5 $ 74.4 (1)Nonaccruing loans are those loans for which there has been no payment of interest and/or principal due for 90 days or more and in the judgment of management should be so classified, as well as loans which, in the judgment of management, should be so classified at an earlier date. When loans are classified as nonaccrual, the accrual of interest ceases and previously accrued but unreceived income is generally reversed. In future periods, when income is received it is recorded as a reduction in principal where the ultimate collection of principal remains in doubt, or as income if there is no question of collectability of principal. (2)Real estate construction loans at December 31, 1994, were $21.6 million nonaccruing and $0.5 million accruing and past due 90 days or more. (3)Renegotiated loans are those loans for which the interest rate was reduced because of the inability of the borrower to service the obligation under the original terms of the agreement. Income is accrued at the lower rate as long as the borrower is current under the revised terms and conditions of the agreement. Note: The Corporation's classification of nonperforming loans includes those identified loans where management believes collection is doubtful. Management is not aware of any specific borrower relationships that are not reported as nonperforming where management has serious doubts as to the ability of such borrowers to comply with the present loan repayment terms which would cause nonperforming assets to increase materially. Areas of material known risk in the Corporation's loan portfolio are described under "Risk Elements." The following table summarizes the changes in nonperforming assets in 1994 and 1993:

At December 31, 1994, nonperforming loans totaled $186 million, an improvement of $41 million (18.1%) from the $227 million reported a year earlier. Principal or interest payments on $124 million (67%) of nonperforming loans were contractually past due 30 days or more at yearend 1994. At the same time, principal and interest in accordance with contractual terms were current on $62 million (33%) of nonperforming loans, as shown in the following table: Total Contractually Contractually Nonperforming At December 31, 1994(millions)(1) Past Due(2) Current(3) Loans Real Estate Loans $ 86.7 $27.0 $113.7 All Others Loans 36.9 35.6 72.5 Total $123.6 $62.6 $186.2 (1) There can be no assurance that individual borrowers will continue to perform at the level indicated or that the performance characteristics will not change significantly. (2) Contractually past due is defined as a borrower whose loan principal or interest payment is 30 days or more past due. (3) Contractually current is defined as a loan for which principal and interest are being paid in accordance with contractual terms. At the end of 1994, approximately 61% of total nonperforming loans were real estate related. Of the nonperforming real estate loans, 76% were contractually past due and 24% were contractually current. In addition to nonperforming loans, nonperforming assets also include ORE. ORE includes property acquired through foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure. These outstandings are recorded at the lower of the loan balance on the property at the date of transfer or the fair value of the property received, net of a reserve for estimated costs. Losses that result from the ongoing periodic valuation of these properties are charged against ORE reserves. It is the policy of the Corporation to maintain a reserve against its ORE for estimated selling costs and declines in value as determined by current appraisals. At the same time, if in the case of a particular property such conditions indicate a possible greater decline in value between appraisals, then a higher valuation reserve is provided for that property. At yearend 1994, ORE totaled $72 million (net of a $25 million reserve), a decline from $82 million (net of a $32 million reserve) in 1993 and $173 million (net of $45 million reserve) in 1992. At December 31, 1994 total nonperforming assets were $258 million, down from $309 million in 1993 and $751 million in 1992. In addition to credit assets classified as nonperforming, the Corporation reported accruing loans that were past due 90 days or more of $51 million at yearend 1994, versus $66 million a year earlier and $53 million in 1992, which included consumer instalment credit of $26 million, $30 million, and $31 million, respectively. Reflecting the Corporation's improved credit quality, interest lost on nonperforming loans was $13.5 million in 1994, down from $26.0 million reported in 1993 and $84.2 million reported in 1992. In addition to the amount of interest that would have been recorded if the loans were performing, interest lost also includes prior period interest reversals and recoveries.

Mergers and Acquisitions At the beginning of 1993, the Corporation began an acquisition program primarily focused on key markets within the states of California, Washington and Texas. Since then, the Corporation has announced and closed 17 transactions totaling nearly $10 billion in assets, of which 15 transactions with over $9 billion in assets have been in the three targeted states. Within the 52 counties in the First Interstate Territory with over 100,000 households, the acquisition program has resulted in the achievement of top three position share in six counties and has improved market penetration in 14 others. The Corporation continues to explore acquisition opportunities in a highly disciplined manner, consistent with its strategic and financial objectives. The following table includes summary information regarding the eight acquisitions announced in 1993 and the nine announced in 1994. All of these transactions were completed by February 1, 1995. The data presented should be read in conjunction with Note P to the financial statements.

Note A_Accounting Policies First Interstate Bancorp and its subsidiaries (the Cor poration) follow generally accepted accounting principles and reporting practices applicable to the banking industry. The following is a description of significant policies and practices: CONSOLIDATION The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Corporation and all majority-owned subsidiaries. Such subsidiaries are consolidated on a line by-line basis, after elimination of intercompany transactions. Unconsolidated entities are reported in other assets with related earnings included in noninterest income. Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to current year classifications. SECURITIES Securities are classified based on their purpose and holding period, taking into account the financial position, liquidity and future plans of the Corporation. Securities for which the Corporation has the intent and ability to hold to maturity are reported at cost, increased by the accretion of discounts and reduced by the amortization of premiums, using the interest method. Trading account securities, representing securities that are held for a short term and sold in response to market changes, are carried at market value with gains and losses, both realized and unrealized, included in noninterest income. Prior to January 1, 1994, securities to be held for indefinite periods of time, including securities that management intended to use for asset/liability management purposes or that might be sold in response to changes in interest rates, changes in prepayment risk, the need to increase regulatory capital or other similar factors, were classified as held-for-sale and carried at the lower of aggregate cost or market. The related valuation adjustments were included in noninterest income. Upon the adoption at January 1, 1994 of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115 (SFAS 115), "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," such securities are now classified as available-for-sale and are carried at fair value. Fair values are estimated based on available market quotations. Unrealized gains and losses are included as a separate component of shareholders' equity, net of related income taxes. Realized gains and losses are included in noninterest income. The Corporation uses the specific identification method for calculating gains and losses on securities transactions. LOANS Loans are carried at the principal amount net of unearned discounts and deferred origination fees and costs. Interest income on loans not discounted is computed on the loan balance outstanding. Interest income on discounted loans is generally recognized based upon methods that approximate the interest method. Net loan origination fees are amortized over the contractual lives of the loans as an adjustment of the yield using the interest method or the straight-line method, if not materially different. Loans identified as held-for-sale are separately classified, and are carried at the lower of cost or market. Loans are placed on nonaccrual status when full collectibility of principal or interest is in doubt or when they become 90 days past due, whichever occurs earlier. Previously accrued but unpaid interest is reversed and charged against interest income and future accruals are discontinued. If there is doubt as to the ultimate collectibility of principal, cash received is applied as a reduction of the loan principal. In May 1993, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan," amended in October 1994 by SFAS No. 118, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan_Income Recognition and Disclosures." Under SFAS 114, a loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that a creditor will be unable to collect principal or interest due according to the contractual terms of the loan. Impaired loans are measured by one of three methods: present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate; observable market price; or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral-dependent. The pronouncements are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1994. The adoption of these pronouncements is not expected to have a significant impact on the Corporation's 1995 financial statements. ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES The allowance for credit losses is increased by provisions charged to expense and reduced by charge-offs, net of recoveries. This is a general reserve for losses related to the loan portfolio and other extensions of credit, including off-balance sheet credit commitments such as standby letters of credit, guarantees and commitments to extend credit. In evaluating the credit portfolio, management considers the loss probability of classified and large credits, a statistical and historical valuation for small credits and groups of credits with similar characteristics, as well as prevailing and anticipated economic conditions. BANK PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT Bank premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated provisions for depreciation and amortization, computed primarily on the straightline method based on estimated useful lives. Capital leases, less accumulated amortization, are included in bank premises and equipment and the lease obligations are included in long term debt. Capital leases are amortized on the straight-line method over the equipment's estimated useful life or the lease term, whichever is shorter, and the amortization is included in depreciation expense. OTHER REAL ESTATE (ORE) Real estate acquired in satisfaction of loans is reported in other assets. Property acquired by foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure is transferred to ORE and is recorded at the lower of the loan balance on the property at the date of transfer or the fair value of the property received, less estimated costs to sell. Valuation losses at the date of transfer are charged to the allowance for credit losses. Subsequent gains (to the extent allowable) and losses that result from the ongoing periodic valuation of these properties are included in ORE expense in the period in which they are identified. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS The excess of purchase price over the fair value of net assets of acquired companies is classified as goodwill and reported as other assets. Goodwill is amortized using the straightline method, generally over 15 years. Purchased mortgage servicing rights represent the right to service mortgage loans originated and owned by others and are reported in other assets. Purchased mortgage servicing rights are generally amortized over eight to ten years. PENSION, OTHER POSTRETIREMENT AND POST - EMPLOYMENT PLANS The Corporation has a noncontributory defined benefit plan covering all eligible employees. The plan provides retirement benefits which are a function of both the years of service and the highest level of compensation during any consecutive five-year period within the last ten years before retirement. The Corporation also has a contributory defined contribution savings plan covering substantially all employees. The Corporation is required to make contributions to this plan in varying amounts based on a percentage of amounts contributed by participating employees. In addition to these plans, the Corporation also accrues for certain postretirement and postemployment costs such as health care and disability benefits. The costs of these benefits are accrued over the period for which the employees qualify and are based upon actuarial assumptions. The costs of pension, postemployment and postretirement benefits are charged to salaries and benefits. In January 1994, the Corporation adopted SFAS 112, "Employers' Accounting for Post employment Benefits." Employers are required to record the obligation for benefits owed to former employees. The effect of adoption of this pronouncement was not material to the Corporation's financial statements. INTEREST RATE AND FOREIGN EXCHANGE RATE CONTRACTS The Corporation uses interest rate swaps, futures, caps and floors, options, forward and foreign exchange rate contracts primarily as part of its overall interest rate risk management strategy. Gains and losses on such contracts are deferred and recognized over the lives of the hedged assets or liabilities as an adjustment to interest income or expense. INCOME TAXES Income tax expense is the current and deferred tax consequences, to the extent permitted, of all events that have been recognized in the financial statements, as measured by the provisions of enacted tax laws. A consolidated U.S. federal income tax return is filed by the Parent Corporation and includes all subsidiaries. State, local and foreign income tax returns are also filed according to the taxable activity of each entity. Consolidated or combined returns are filed, as required by certain states, including California. Generally, the consolidated and combined tax liabilities are settled between subsidiaries as if each had filed a separate return. Foreign tax payments are applied, as permitted, to reduce federal income tax. Investment tax credits related to leasing transactions are accounted for by the deferral method. EARNINGS PER SHARE CALCULATIONS Earnings per common share are computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each year, the dilutive effect of stock options outstanding, and after deducting from earnings dividends paid on preferred stock. Fully diluted earnings per common share are considered equal to primary earnings per common share in each year because dilution is less than three percent. CASH FLOWS For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash and due from banks, time deposits due from banks, federal funds sold and securities purchased under agreements to resell having maturities of three months or less. Generally, federal funds are purchased and sold for one-day periods. Changes in assets and liabilities are net of the effects of sales and acquisitions. The effect of changes in foreign exchange rates on cash balances is not material. Note B_Investment Securities On January 1, 1994, the Corporation adopted SFAS 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities." The adoption of this pronouncement had no significant impact on the Corporation's financial statements. Under the provisions of SFAS 115, securities are to be classified as held-to-maturity, available-for sale or trading. The following table provides the major components of investment securities (in millions): Estimated Amortized Gross Unrealized Fair Cost Gains Losses Value December 31, 1994 Held-to-Maturity: U.S. Treasury securities $ 5,199 $ 3 $97 $5,105 U.S. government agency securities: Mortgage-backed securities Pass-throughs 2,773 10 110 2,673 CMOs and REMICs 3,652 2 137 3,517 Direct agencies 481 1 8 474 State and political subdivisions 29 1 _ 30 Other mortgage-backed securities 641 _ 37 604 Other debt securities 920 _ 43 877 Total held-to-maturity securities $13,695 $17 $432 $13,280 Available-for-Sale: U.S. Treasury securities $ 20 $ _ $ _ $ 20 U.S. government agency securities: Mortgage-backed securities Pass-throughs 5 _ _ 5 CMOs and REMICs 14 _ _ 14 Direct agencies 3 _ _ 3 Corporate and Federal Reserve Bank stock 113 1 _ 114 Total available-for-sale securities $ 155 $ 1 $ _ $ 156 December 31, 1993 Held-to-Maturity: U.S. Treasury securities $ 7,006 $ 69 $ 4 $ 7,071 U.S. government agency securities: Mortgage-backed securities Pass-throughs 1,994 41 9 2,026 CMOs and REMICs 5,382 25 21 5,386 Direct agencie 512 9 _ 521 State and political subdivisions 23 2 _ 25 Other mortgage-backed securities 583 2 3 582 Other debt securities 776 7 2 781 Corporate and Federal Reserve Bank stock 97 _ _ 97 Total held-to-maturity securities $16,373 $155 $ 39 $ 16,489 Available-for-Sale (1) : U.S. Treasury securities $ 127 $ _ $ _ $ 127 U.S. government securities: Mortgage-backed securities 42 _ _ 42 Total available-for-sale securities $ 169 $ _ $ _ $ 169 (1)Classified as securities held-for-sale at December 31, 1993 and carried at the lower of cost or market. Maturities of securities classified as held- to-maturity and available-for-sale as of December 31, 1994 are as follows (in millions): Amortized Estimated Cost Fair Value Held-toMaturity Securities Due in one year or less $ 3,480 $ 3,467 Due after one year through five years 2,913 2,805 Due after five years through ten years 125 123 Due after ten years 111 91 6,629 6,486 Mortgage-backed securities 7,066 6,794 Total $13,695 $13,280 Available-for-Sale Securities Due in one year or less $ 16 $ 16 Due after one year through five years 6 6 Due after five years through ten years 1 1 Due in ten years _ _ 23 23 Mortgage-backed securities 19 19 Corporate and Federal Reserve Bank stock 113 114 Total $ 155 $ 156 Mortgage-backed securities included above have a weighted average contractual maturity of approximately 12 years. Expected maturity is often significantly shorter than contractual maturity for mortgage-backed securities due to scheduled payments and unscheduled prepayment activity affecting these securities. The expected average life of the mortgage-backed securities was 2.6 years. Securities and other assets carried at $7,316 million at December 31, 1994 and $6,188 million at December 31, 1993 were pledged to secure public and trust deposits and for other purposes as required or permitted by law. Proceeds from sales of available-for-sale securities during 1994 were $88 million. Gross gains of $21 million and no losses were realized on sales. Proceeds from the sale of securities were $32 million and $17 million, while gross gains were $10 million and $2 million in 1993 and 1992, respectively. There were no gross losses during 1993 and $4 million of gross losses during 1992. The net unrealized holding gains on available-for sale securities reported, net of related taxes, as a separate component of shareholders' equity is $1 million. The net unrealized holding gains on trading securities reported in earnings was $5 million for 1994. During 1994 there were no transfers or sales of heldtomaturity securities, or transfers of available-forsale securities to trading securities.

Certain directors and executive officers of the Parent Corporation and certain of its significant subsidiaries, including their associates, were loan customers of the subsidiary banks. These loans were made in the ordinary course of business at rates and terms no more favorable than those offered to other customers with similar credit standings. The aggregate dollar amounts of those loans exceeding $60,000 (but excluding loans to the immediate families of executive officers and directors of subsidiaries) were $81 million and $86 million at December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively. During 1994, $23 million of new loans were made and repayments totaled $28 million. Note D_Bank Premises and Equipment Bank premises and equipment consist of the following (in millions): December 31 1994 1993 Land $ 188 $ 165 Buildings and improvements: Owned 1,151 973 Capital leases 45 46 Furniture, fixtures and equipment: Owned 930 814 Capital leases 5 5 2,319 2,003 Less accumulated depreciation and amortization: Owned 1,133 1,017 Capital leases 39 38 $1,147 $ 948 Depreciation and amortization totaled $109 million, $99 million and $107 million in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. Note E_Short Term Borrowings Short term borrowings are detailed as follows (in millions): December 31 1994 1993 1992 Federal funds purchased: Balance at December 31 $1,436 $ 557 $ 138 Average balance 514 234 111 Maximum amount outstanding at any month end 1,436 984 275 Average interest rate: During the year 4.44% 2.78% 3.30% At December 31 4.29 2.29 2.52 Securities sold under agreements to repurchase: Balance at December 31 $ 73 $ 144 $ 135 Average balance 93 149 220 Maximum amount outstanding at any month end 219 194 325 Average interest rate: During the year 3.86% 2.50% 3.00% At December 31 4.75 2.75 2.32 Other liabilities for short term borrowed money averaged $48 million in 1994, $48 million in 1993 and $56 million in 1992. Federal funds purchased generally mature the day following the date of purchase, while securities sold under agreements to repurchase generally mature within 30 days from the various dates of sale. Other short term borrowings generally mature within twelve months. During 1994, the Corporation finalized a three year, $500 million senior revolving credit facility as part of its liability management plan for the Parent Corporation. This facility has numerous interest rate and borrowing options, as well as a $150 million line of credit for cash management purposes. As of December 31, 1994 there were no borrowings outstanding against this facility. Note F_Long Term Debt and Dividend Restrictions Following is a description of the Corporation's senior and subordinated long term debt which, unless noted otherwise, is not subject to early redemption by the Corporation (in millions): December 31 1994 1993 Parent Corporation: Senior Medium Term Notes, Series A $ 328 $ 335 8.625% Subordinated Capital Notes due April 1, 1999 182 182 Subordinated Medium Term Notes, Series C 163 163 9.125% Subordinated Notes due February 1, 2004 133 133 9.00% Subordinated Notes due November 15, 2004 125 _ Other Issues (under $100 million each): Fixed Rate 231 356 Variable Rate 128 255 1,290 1,424 Subsidiaries: Subordinated notes and debentures _ 7 Other notes _ 1 Mortgages 74 74 Obligations under capital leases 24 27 During 1993, the Corporation repurchased $441 million of its long term debt in the open market and redeemed $369 million of its long term debt. In addition, the Corporation also tendered for $175 million of long term debt. As a result, an after-tax loss of $25 million was recorded as an extraordinary item on the Corporation's Consolidated Statement of Operations. The various indentures of the Corporation, pursuant to which long term debt is issued, contain covenants limiting the sale of stock of principal subsidiaries. The Senior Medium Term Notes, Series A are offered on a continuing basis by the Corporation and are due $128 million in 1995, $38 million in 1996, $10 million in 1997, $111 million in 1998, $6 million in 1999 and $35 million thereafter. The notes bear interest ranging from 7.0% to 10.9%. The 8.625% Subordinated Capital Notes, due April 1, 1999, are subordinated to senior indebtedness of the Corporation. These notes are considered to be Total Capital, but not Tier 1 Capital, for regulatory purposes since, upon maturity, they may be exchanged at the option of the Corporation for common stock, perpetual preferred stock, or other eligible capital securities of the Corporation having a market value equal to the principal amount of the notes. The Subordinated Medium Term Notes, Series C are offered on a continuing basis by the Corporation and are due $13 million in 1998, $121 million in 2001 and $29 million in 2002. The notes bear interest ranging from 9.375% to 11.25%. The 9.125% Subordinated Notes, due February 1, 2004, are subordinated to senior indebtedness of the Corporation. The 9.00% Subordinated Notes, due November 15, 2004, are subordinated to senior indebtedness of the Corporation. These notes are considered to be Total Capital, but not Tier 1 Capital, for regulatory purposes. Included in other issues of the Parent Corporation under $100 million at December 31, 1994 were two floating rate issues totaling $128 million and four fixed rate issues totaling $231 million. The floating rate issues consist of $45 million of Floating Rate FOREX-Linked Notes due February 26, 1996 with a current interest rate of 5.125%, and $83 million of floating rate notes due June 30, 1997 with a current interest rate of 6.8125%. The FOREX Notes bear interest at a rate equal to 20 basis points per annum above the London interbank offered rates for six-month Eurodollar deposits, adjusted semiannually on interest payment dates. The Corporation currently has two longdated cross currency contracts outstanding that are used to hedge the leverage features embedded in the Notes. The fixed rate issues include $43 million of 5.75% DM100 million Bearer Bonds due May 7, 1996. In conjunction with these bonds, the Corporation has entered into separate agreements whereby the DM/US$ exchange rate is fixed throughout the term of the issue. The remaining $188 million of fixed rate notes are due between March 1, 1996 and March 5, 1998 with interest rates ranging from 10.50% to 12.75%. Maturities of notes and debentures of the Parent Corporation for the five years succeeding December 31, 1994 are $128 million in 1995, $192 million in 1996, $161 million in 1997, $178 million in 1998, $188 million in 1999 and $443 million thereafter. At December 31, 1994, $1,157 million (90%) of the Parent Corporation's long term debt had fixed coupon rates. Of this amount, $566 million is converted to floating rate debt using interest rate swaps. The effect of these swaps was to decrease interest expense on long term debt by $16 million, or 115 basis points, for 1994, and $47 million, or 248 basis points, for 1993. The Corporation is prohibited from borrowing from its bank subsidiaries on less than a fully secured basis under regulations of the Federal Reserve Board. Dividends that may be paid by the bank subsidiaries are restricted by various statutory limitations. As of January 1, 1995, approximately $381 million were free of dividend restrictions under such statutory limitations. Unrestricted net assets of nonbank subsidiaries are insignificant. Note G_Contingent Liabilities and Commitments The Corporation's banking subsidiaries are required to maintain balances with Federal Reserve Banks based on a percentage of deposit liabilities. Such balances averaged approximately $1.0 billion and $1.2 billion in 1994 and 1993, respectively. There are presently a number of legal proceedings pending against the Corporation and certain of its subsidiaries. While it is not possible to predict the outcome of these proceedings, it is the opinion of management, after consulting with counsel, that the ultimate disposition of potential or existing suits will not have a material adverse effect on the Corporation's financial position, results of operations or liquidity. Note H_Shareholders' Equity PREFERRED STOCK At December 31, 1994 and 1993, 15,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock (no par value) were authorized. At December 31, 1994 and 1993, there were outstanding 8,000,000 Depositary Shares each representing a one-eighth interest in a share of 9.875% Preferred Stock, Series F. The Series F Preferred Stock is redeemable at any time on or after November 15, 1996, at the option of the Corporation, in whole or in part, at $200.00 per share (equivalent to $25.00 per Depositary Share) plus accrued and unpaid dividends to the redemption date. At December 31, 1994 and 1993, there were outstanding 6,000,000 Depositary Shares each representing a one-eighth interest in a share of 9.0% Preferred Stock, Series G. The Series G Preferred Stock is redeemable any time on or after May 29, 1997, at the option of the Corporation, in whole or in part, at $200.00 per share (equivalent to $25.00 per Depositary Share) plus accrued and unpaid dividends to the redemption date. Dividends on both the Series F and Series G Preferred Stock are cumulative and are paid quarterly on the last day of March, June, September, and December of each year. TREASURY STOCK At December 31, 1994 and December 31, 1993, the cost of Common Stock in the treasury averaged $73.64 per share and $39.68 per share, respectively. In January 1994 and April 1994, the Board of Directors approved the repurchase of up to 1.5 million and 6.5 million shares of common stock, respectively, for reissuance through the Corporation's Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan and stock performance plans. In addition, in connection with the acquisition of Levy Bancorp, the Board of Directors approved in September 1994, the repurchase of up to an additional 1.2 million shares of common stock. Such repurchases were made periodically in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions, subject to appropriate regulatory and acquisition accounting requirements. As of December 31, 1994, the Corporation had completed the share repurchase programs. RIGHTS The Corporation declared a dividend of one common share purchase right for each outstanding share of Common Stock, par value $2.00, payable on December 30, 1988 to shareholders of record on that date. Such rights also apply to new issuance of shares after that date. Each right entitles the registered holders to purchase from the Corporation one share of its $2.00 par value Common Stock at a price of $170.00 per share, subject to adjustment. The rights are not exercisable or separable from the Common Stock until the earlier of 10 days after a party acquires beneficial ownership of 20% or more of the outstanding Common Shares or announces a tender offer to do so. The rights, which expire on December 31, 1998, may be redeemed by the Corporation at any time prior to the acquisition by any party of beneficial ownership of 20% or more of the Common Stock at a price of $0.001 per right. When exercisable, and under certain circumstances, each right may entitle the holders to purchase Common Stock of the Corporation at 50% of the then current per share market price of the Common Stock or common stock of the acquiring party at 50% of the then current per share market price of the common stock of the acquiring party. Note I_Stock Option Plans The stock option plans adopted in 1983, as amended, 1988 and 1991 provide for the granting of "non- qualified'' options and "incentive stock options'' to key employees of the Corporation to purchase Common Stock of the Cor poration at a price not less than 100% of the fair market value on the dates of grant. The First Interstate Bancorp 1991 Director Option Plan, as amended and restated, provides for the granting to non-employee directors of the Corporation of ``non-qualified'' options to purchase Common Stock of the Corporation at a price not less than 100% of the fair market value on the dates of grant. Under the plans, options generally become exercisable over a four-year period beginning one year after grant. At the time options are exercised, the excess of the proceeds over par value is credited to capital surplus. There are no charges or credits to income in connection with the grant or exercise of options. The 1983, 1988 and 1991 Plans also provide for the sale of restricted Common Stock of the Corporation to key employees at a minimum purchase price of $2 per share. Generally, restrictions lapse on 10%, 30% and 60% of the shares sold on the third, fourth and fifth anniversaries of the grant, respectively. At December 31, 1994, 25,497 shares of restricted Common Stock granted to 17 employees were outstanding. At December 31, 1994, options for 3,932,430 shares, granted to 712 employees and 14 non-employee directors, were outstanding with expiration dates ranging from August 11, 1995 to November 20, 2004 and with exercise prices ranging from $18.50 to $83.875 per share, an average of $47.70 per share. During 1994, options for 835,100 shares were granted. At December 31, 1993, options for 3,877,586 shares, granted to 720 employees and 15 non-employee directors, were outstanding with expiration dates ranging from March 18, 1994 to November 15, 2003 and with exercise prices ranging from $18.50 to $62.625 per share, an average price of $42.36 per share. During 1993, options for 1,007,600 shares were granted. Options exercised in 1994 were 702,033, compared to 636,042 in 1993 and 152,767 in 1992. Prices ranged from $18.50 to $62.625 per share. At December 31, 1994 options for 1,807,830 shares were exercisable and 1,919,841 shares were reserved for future grants under the plans. Note J_Employee Benefit Plans The Corporation has a noncontributory defined benefit plan that provides retirement benefits which are a function of both the years of service and the highest level of compensation during any consecutive five-year period within the last 10 years before retirement. It is the Corporation's policy to fund the plan sufficient to meet the minimum funding requirements set forth in the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, plus such additional amounts as the Corporation may determine to be appropriate from time to time. The following table sets forth the plan's funded status and amounts recognized in the Corporation's Consolidated Balance Sheet (in millions): December 31 1994 1993 Actuarial present value of benefit obligations: Accumulated benefit obligation: Vested $582 $535 Nonvested 39 64 $621 $599 Plan assets at fair value, primarily marketable securities $706 $722 Projected benefit obligation 742 732 Plan assets less than projected benefit obligation (36) (10) Unrecognized prior service costs 5 6 Unrecognized net transition asset being amortized over 13 years (24) (30) Unrecognized net loss due to past experience different from assumptions made 23 107 Prepaid pension asset (pension liability) $(32) $ 73 The net pension cost included the following (in millions): Year ended December 31 1994 1993 1992 Service costs_benefits earned during the period $ 30 $23 $23 Interest costs on projected benefit obligation 59 49 43 Net amortization and deferral (76) 23 (23) 13 95 43 Less return on plan assets (10) 89 42 Net pension cost included in salaries and benefits 23 6 1 Early Retirement Program expense included in provision for restructuring 82 _ _ Total pension cost recognized $105 $ 6 $ 1 The weighted average discount rate and increase in salary levels used in determining the projected benefit obligation were 8.75% and 4.5% for 1994, 7.375% and 4.0% for 1993 and 8.5% and 4.75% for 1992, respectively. The expected long term return on plan assets was 9.25% in 1994 and 1993 and 9.5% in 1992. Also, the Corporation and its subsidiaries have several nonqualified noncontributory defined benefit plans covering certain senior employees' benefits in excess of those covered under the Corporation's qualified noncontributory defined benefit plan. The accumulated benefit obligation under these plans was $29 million and $18 million and projected benefit obligation in excess of plan assets was $33 million and $22 million as of December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively. Net pension cost related to these plans included in salaries and benefits was $16 million in 1994 and $2 million in 1993 and 1992. The Corporation provides certain health care benefits to retired employees through the Master Welfare Benefit Plan for Employees of First Interstate Bancorp and Affiliates (Plan). Under the terms of the Plan, employees hired prior to January 1, 1992 and who retire at or after age 55 with at least 10 years of service will be eligible for a fixed maximum contribution from the Corporation. Employees hired on or after January 1, 1992 will not be eligible for retiree health care benefits. Effective in the first quarter of 1993, the Corporation adopted SFAS 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions,'' on an immediate recognition basis. SFAS 106 requires the Corporation to accrue the estimated cost of retiree benefit payments, other than pensions, during employees' active service period. The cumulative effect of adopting SFAS 106 was the recognition of accrued postretirement health care costs totaling $169 million. After related tax benefits of $64 million, net income for 1993 was reduced by $105 million. The Corporation currently intends to fund postretirement health care costs as they are incurred. The following table sets forth the Plan's accumulated cost included on the Corporation's consolidated balance sheet (in millions): December 31 1994 1993 Accumulated postretirement benefit obligation: Current retirees $117 $137 Active employees fully eligible for benefits 2 3 Other active Plan participants 17 22 Accumulated postretirement benefit obligation 136 162 Unrecognized prior service costs 8 17 Unrecognized net (gains) losses due to past experience different from assumptions made 26 (11) Accrued postretirement benefit cost $170 $168 Net periodic postretirement benefit cost for 1994 and 1993 included the following components (in millions): December 31 1994 1993 Service cost $ 1 $ 1 Interest cost 10 14 Amortization of net gains (1) _ Total postretirement benefit cost $ 10 $ 15 A total of $11 million was recognized in 1992 for expenses related to postretirement benefits. Since the Plan contains a fixed maximum contribution by the Corporation, the health care cost trend rate assumption has no effect on the amounts reported. Accordingly, increasing the assumed health care cost trend rates by one percentage point in each year would not change either the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation as of implementation, or the aggregate of the service and interest cost components of the net periodic postretirement benefit cost for 1994 and 1993. In accordance with the Plan, the increase in the Corporation's fixed maximum contribution for participants who retired before January 1, 1993 was 10.0% in 1993, 9.0% in 1994, and zero for 1995 and thereafter. For participants who retired on or after January 1, 1993, there is no increase in the Corporation's fixed maximum contribution. The weighted average discount rates used in determining the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation were 8.75% for 1994 and 7.375% for 1993. The Corporation has a savings plan covering substantially all employees. Savings plan expense was $14 million for 1994 and $13 million for 1993 and 1992. Note K_Income Taxes Effective January 1, 1993, the Corporation changed its method of accounting for income taxes from the liability method required by SFAS 96 to the liability method required by SFAS 109 on a prospective basis. The cumulative effect of adopting SFAS 109 increased net income for 1993 by $305 million. The provision for income taxes (benefit) attributable to continuing operations consists of the following (in millions): State and Federal Local Foreign Total 1994: Current $274.9 $52.4 $(4.6) $322.7 Deferred 103.3 23.5 _ 126.8 $378.2 $75.9 $(4.6) $449.5 1993: Current $222.7 $44.0 $ _ $266.7 Deferred 41.6 11.6 _ 53.2 $264.3 $55.6 $ _ $319.9 1992: Current $152.4 $57.1 $14.4 $223.9 Deferred (103.0) _ _ (103.0) $ 49.4 $57.1 $14.4 $120.9 The deferred tax expense (benefit) represents the changes in the amounts of temporary differences. The types of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions of the deferred tax include reserves for credit losses, restructuring expenses and other real estate owned. The provision for state and local income taxes for 1992 reflects the effect of certain restrictions imposed by state tax laws limiting the Corporation's ability to offset losses incurred in one period against the income of another period. The effective federal income tax rate varied from the statutory rate due to a number of factors including the exemption from tax on interest income earned on the obligations of state and political subdivisions. For 1992, the effective income tax rate varied from the statutory federal rate due primarily to the recognition of prior years' federal tax benefits previously limited under SFAS 96, offset by the limitation of current year's state tax benefits under that accounting method. A reconciliation between the statutory federal and the effective income tax rates follows: % of Pretax Income 1994 1993 1992 Federal Income tax at statutory rate 35 35 34 Effect of nontaxable interest income (1) (1) (2) Unrecorded tax benefits _ _ (30) NOL benefit allocated to goodwill _ _ 8 Enacted statutory tax rate change _ (1) _ Foreign tax credits carryovers _ (1) _ State income taxes 6 6 14 Foreign income taxes (1) _ 4 Other net (1) (2) 2 Effective income tax rate 38 36 30 The tax effects of temporary differences and tax carryforwards which give rise to significant elements of deferred tax assets and liabilities are detailed below (in millions): December 31 1994 1993 Gross deferred assets: Allowance for credit losses $373.7 $413.5 Reserves and accruals 109.5 127.6 Compensation and benefits 83.4 68.0 Other real estate 29.3 40.4 Foreign tax credit 13.0 20.0 Other 16.6 1.5 Total gross deferred assets 625.5 671.0 Gross deferred liabilities: Leases (36.4) (25.2) Fixed assets (19.2) (31.8) Acquisition related tax accounting method changes (15.6) _ State taxes (14.2) (20.7) Other (17.6) (24.7) Total gross deferred liabilities (103.0) (102.4) Valuation allowance (38.0) (45.0) Net deferred tax asset $484.5 $523.6 The valuation allowance applies to foreign tax credits and to the uncertainty of the realization of future deductions to the extent that realization is dependent on levels of future taxable income in excess of present levels. During 1994, the valuation allowance was decreased by $7.0 million, resulting from the utilization of foreign tax credits on the 1993 federal tax return and refund of foreign taxes previously available as credits. For tax return purposes, the Corporation has foreign tax credit carryforwards of $13.0 million. Of this total, $2.7 million represents tax return carryforwards which will expire in the years 1995 through 1998. The remaining $10.3 million represents foreign taxes paid by subsidiaries which will be available as a credit against U.S. taxes when distributions are made to the U.S. parent. The income tax benefit for the Parent Corporation reflects the effect of its separate company loss and the settlement of intercompany tax amounts in accordance with the Corporation's tax allocation policies. Note L_Leases At December 31, 1994, the Corporation and its subsidiaries were obligated under a number of noncancelable leases for land, buildings and equipment. Minimum future obligations on leases in effect at December 31, 1994 were as follows (in millions): Capital Operating Year Ending December 31 Leases Leases 1995 $ 6 $118 1996 6 109 1997 4 93 1998 4 84 1999 4 75 Later years 13 547 Total minimum obligations 37 $1,026 Less executory obligations _ Net minimum obligations 37 Less amount representing interest 13 Present value of net minimum obligations $24 Minimum future rentals receivable under noncancelable operating subleases at December 31, 1994 were $51 million. Rental expense for all operating leases was $149 million, $146 million, and $142 million for 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. Note M_Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk In the normal course of business, the Corporation is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk to meet the financing needs of its customers and to reduce its own exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit; standby letters of credit and financial guarantees; forward and futures contracts; interest rate and currency swaps; options; and interest rate caps and floors. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and market risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Credit risk for off-balance sheet financial instruments is defined as the possibility of sustaining a loss because any other party to a financial instrument fails to perform in accordance with the terms of the contract. The Corporation uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for onbalance sheet financial instruments through established credit approvals, risk control limits and monitoring procedures. Market risk represents the possibility that the value of financial instruments will change, either positively or negatively, with changes in market prices, such as interest rates. The Corporation requires collateral to support off balance sheet financial instruments when it is deemed necessary. Collateral held varies, but may include deposits held in financial institutions; U.S. Treasury securities; other marketable securities; accounts receivable; property, plant and equipment; and inventory. Commitments, Standby Letters of Credit and Financial Guarantees Commitments are contractual agreements to extend credit which generally have fixed expiration dates or other ter mination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Substantially all of the Corporation's commitments to extend credit are contingent upon the customers maintaining specific credit standards at the time of loan funding. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Standby letters of credit and financial guarantees are conditional commitments issued by the Corporation to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Standbys are primarily issued as credit enhancements for public and private borrowing arrangements, including commercial paper, bond financing, and similar transactions. The credit risk involved in issuing standby letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending facilities to customers. Risks associated with standby letters of credit are reduced by participation to third parties. At December 31, 1994 approximately $40 million of standby letters of credit had been participated to others. A commercial letter of credit represents an extension of credit by a bank to its customer where the customer is usually the buyer/importer of goods and the beneficiary is typically the seller/exporter. Credit risk is limited as the merchandise shipped serves as collateral for the transaction. The Corporation's exposure to credit loss under commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit and financial guarantees as well as commercial letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of these instruments (in millions): December 31 1994 1993 Commitments to extend credit $28,508 $23,548 Standby letters of credit and financial guarantees 2,076 1,814 Commercial letters of credit 264 262 The following summarizes the expiration schedule of the Corporation's loan commitments and standby letters of credit issued as of December outstanding 31, 1994 (in millions): Standby Letters of Commitments Credit 1995 $20,332 $1,519 1996 2,407 264 1997 2,158 174 1998 907 21 1999 2,137 43 Thereafter 567 55 $28,508 $2,076 When-issued securities represent a method of trading in listed or unlisted securities which have not yet been issued and, therefore, are not deliverable. At December 31, 1994 the Corporation had no commitments to purchase when-issued securities, compared to $100 million at December 31, 1993. In a typical securities borrowing/lending arrangement, a broker/dealer or bank borrows securities from an institution owning the securities. In return, collateral in the form of U.S. government or federal agency securities, cash or letters of credit equal to or in excess of the market value of the securities lent is given to the lender of the securities. The Corporation lends its own securities as well as those of its customers and does, in some instances, indemnify its customers against potential losses. Such arrangements expose the Corporation to potential loss. At December 31, 1994 and 1993, the Corporation's securities lending transactions amounted to $2.0 billion and $1.9 billion, respectively. Derivatives and Other Financial Instruments NATURE OF INSTRUMENTS The Corporation enters into a variety of derivative financial instruments in managing its interest rate exposure and as intermediary for customer accommodations. Forward and futures contracts are contracts for delayed delivery of securities or money market instruments in which the seller agrees to make delivery at a specified future date of a specified instrument, at a specified price or yield. Risks arise from the possible inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from movements in securities values and interest rates. Interest rate swap transactions generally involve the exchange of fixed and floating rate interest payment obligations without the exchange of the underlying principal amounts. Though swaps are also used as part of asset/liability management, most of the interest rate swap activity arises when the Corporation acts as an intermediary in arranging interest rate swap transactions for customers entered into on an over- thecounter basis. The Corporation typically becomes a principal in the exchange of interest payments between the parties and, therefore, is exposed to loss should one of the parties default. The Corporation's credit policies provide the measures to be taken when entering into and subsequently monitoring these contracts. Exposure to interest rate risk inherent in intermediary swaps is minimized by performing normal credit reviews on its swap customers and by entering into offsetting swap positions that essentially counterbalance each other. Currency swap agreements are entered into primarily on an over-the-counter basis, as a means of protection against fluctuations in foreign currency. Interest rate caps and floors written by the Corporation enable customers to transfer, modify, or reduce their interest rate risk. Interest rate options are contracts that allow the holder of the option to purchase or sell a financial instrument at a specified price and within a specified period of time from the seller or ''writer'' of the option. As a writer of interest rate caps, floors and options, the Corporation receives a premium at the outset and then bears the risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the financial instrument underlying the cap, floor or option. Exposure to market risk due to such changes on intermediary transactions is minimized by purchasing offsetting options transactions that counterbalance the risk. The Corporation's credit policies define the procedures associated with originating and controlling the risks of these transactions. These instruments are executed through established market exchanges as well as overthe-counter sources. As a matter of policy, neither the Corporation nor its subsidiary banks are allowed to act as a dealer or market maker in financial derivative contracts. Thus, none of the Corporation's derivative activity is classified as trading activity. Derivative financial instruments held or issued for purposes other than trading executed by the Corporation are divided into three groups based upon objectives, as described below: HEDGING TRANSACTIONS The Corporation enters into financial derivative contracts from time to time to hedge exposure to changes in the level of interest rates or the value of currencies. The Boards of Directors of the subsidiary banks and the Corporation have delegated oversight responsibility for such activity to the Asset, Liability and Capital Committee (ALCCO), and transactions may not be executed without the approval of ALCCO. The Cor poration's policies view risk in terms of the overall balance sheet of the banks, andspecify risk tolerance and instruments to be used for hedging, as well as governing ongoing review of hedging efficiency. Forward and futures rate agreements are primarily used to hedge the mortgage "pipeline" risk related to the Corporation's mortgage banking activities. Forward sales of whole loans and mortgage-backed securities as well as purchases of put options on mortgage- backed securities are used to hedge the Corporation's residential mortgage loan purchase commitments that have interest rate locks. Interest rate and currency swap agreements are primarily used to convert certain long term debt of the Corporation to floating interest rates payable in U.S. dollars. Included in the December 31, 1994 notional amounts below is $608 million of receive fixed interest rate swaps (average receive rate of 8.34% and average pay rate of 5.68%) and $42 million of pay-fixed interest rate swaps (average receive rate of 5.72% and average pay rate of 9.68%). As discussed in Note F, these swaps effectively converted $566 million of the Corporation's fixed rate long term debt to floating rate debt. The December 31, 1994 amount also includes $118 million of cross currency contracts to convert foreign currency denominated obligations to U.S. dollar denominated obligations and to offset the foreign exchange leverage feature embedded in certain debt obligations of the Corporation. The remaining notional amount of $14 million consists of pay-fixed interest rate swaps to match the amounts and terms of specific customer loans. Interest rate caps and floors are primarily used to hedge certain floating rate debt obligations of the Corporation and to hedge options embedded in specific customer loan transactions. The Corporation also utilizes equity derivative contracts to manage certain risks in its venture capital portfolio. During 1994, the Corporation entered into an equity option collar transaction to hedge the value of common stock held as part of a limited partnership. The accounting for all hedging transactions follows the accounting for the underlying instrument being hedged. INTERMEDIARY TRANSACTIONS: MERCHANT BANKING_SOLD On January 1, 1993, the Corporation sold its merchant banking and foreign operations to Standard Chartered Bank PLC, a London-based multinational banking company. The transaction included the sale of the market risk associated with the Corporation's derivative instruments that were then outstanding as part of its merchant banking operations. However, the related credit risk on these instruments was retained. Reserves for credit losses were recorded at the time of the sale, and the adequacy of these reserves is tested quarterly. Since the cash flows underlying these transactions have been sold to Standard Chartered Bank, no gain or loss (with the exception of credit losses in excess of reserves) is reported on the Corporation's financial statements for these transactions. INTERMEDIARY TRANSACTIONS: CUSTOMER ACCOMMODATION CONTRACTS Since the sale of the Corporation's merchant banking activities to Standard Chartered Bank, the Corporation has not acted as a market maker or dealer in financial derivatives and does not pursue the execution of derivatives contracts as a line of business. However, from time to time the Corporation's banks do enter into financial derivative contracts with their corporate customers. These contracts are most often executed in conjunction with the provisions of a loan to the customer, though that is not always the case. In executing these contracts, the Corporation takes on minimal market risk of a short term nature, and takes on no correlation or basis risk, since the terms of the transactions are perfectly offset by simultaneously entering into a matching contract with a market maker with the exception of a small spread received for the assumption of credit risk as an intermediary. No open positions or portfolio hedging techniques are allowed with the activity and the banks do not stand ready to buy or sell positions on their own account, but rather only execute transactions in response to the specific needs of a customer. Activity in these customer accommodation contracts is further restricted to the most common over-the counter contracts to ensure that the credit risk that the banks undertake can be properly managed and monitored.

SECURITIES (HELD-TO-MATURITY, AVAILABLE-FOR-SALE AND TRADING) Fair values are based on quoted market prices, where available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments. LOANS RECEIVABLE For those loans with variable rates and no fixed maturities, and for loans with maturities of three months or less, fair value is considered to be equal to carrying value. The fair value of other types of loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings for the same remaining maturities. OTHER ASSETS HELD FOR SALE Carrying value is considered to approximate fair value. CUSTOMERS' LIABILITY FOR ACCEPTANCES AND ACCEPTANCES OUTSTANDING Bankers' Acceptances with maturities of three months or less are reported at their carrying values. For those instruments with maturities of more than three months, the fair value of the portfolio is recorded based on discounted cash flows. OTHER ASSETS AND OTHER LIABILITIES The fair value of financial instruments included in other assets and other liabilities is considered to be equal to the carrying value. DEPOSIT LIABILITIES The carrying value for all deposits without fixed maturities, and for time deposits greater than $100,000 with maturities of three months or less, is considered to be equal to the fair value. The fair value for time deposits greater than $100,000 with maturities greater than three months as well as time deposits less than $100,000 is based upon the appropriate discount rate for similar pools. The fair value of demand deposits is the amount payable on demand, and is not adjusted for any value derived from retaining those deposits for an expected future period of time. That component, commonly referred to as deposit base intangible, was not estimated at December 31, 1994 and 1993, and is not considered in the fair value amounts. SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS Carrying amounts of federal funds purchased, borrowings under repurchase agreements and other short-term borrowings approximate fair values. LONG-TERM DEBT The fair values of long-term borrowings (other than deposits) are valued at their quoted market price or are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, based on the current incremental borrowings rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements. OFF-BALANCE SHEET INSTRUMENTS The fair value of commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit and financial guarantees represent deferred fees. The fair value of forward and future rate agreements; interest rate and currency swap agreements; interest rate caps, floors and collars; and options are based upon quoted market prices, where available, or discounted estimated cash flows.

The Corporation paid premiums of $13 million in 1993 and $26 million in 1994 for these deposits, which were acquired from the Resolution Trust Corporation and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. In addition, the Corporation was a party to business combinations with various operating entities as detailed in the following table: ClosingPurchase ($ in millions) Date Price Loans Assets Deposits State 1993 Cal Rep Bancorp, Inc. 12/10 $ 68 $ 381 $ 535 $ 495 CA 1994 First State Bank of the Oaks 1/13 23 57 144 130 CA San Diego Financial Corp. 3/18 340 806 1,939 1,764 CA BancWest Bancorp 4/29 36 39 240 215 TX Chase Bank of Arizona 4/29 102 356 610 392 AZ MNB Bancshares, Inc. 5/30 5 21 47 41 TX Med Center Bank 7/29 12 53 143 152 TX Sacramento Savings Bank 11/1 337 2,230 3,010 2,598 CA Park Forest National Bank 12/16 2 13 23 22 TX 1995 University Savings Bank 1/6 205 154 1,274 929 WA North Texas Bancshares, Inc. 1/9 65 211 424 387 TX Levy Bancorp 2/1 92 266 557 506 CA The acquisitions of Cal Rep Bancorp, Inc. and San Diego Financial Corporation were accounted for as poolings of interest, while the remaining acquisitions were accounted for as purchases. In addition, all the acquisitions were cash transactions with the exception of Cal Rep Bancorp, Inc., San Diego Financial Corporation and Levy Bancorp for which the Corporation issued 1,188,823 shares, 5,067,513 shares and 1,308,384 shares of its common stock, respectively. The results of operations of companies which were acquired in 1993 and 1994 were included in the Consolidated Statement of Operations from the dates of acquisition shown above. The Corporation's financial statements have not been restated for the results of operations of Cal Rep Bancorp, Inc. and San Diego Financial Corporation prior to the dates of acquisition due to immateriality. The following table presents unaudited pro forma financial information for the Corporation and the acquired companies accounted for as purchase transactions as if the acquisitions had been effective on January 1, 1994 and January 1, 1993, respectively: Year Ended December 31 1994 1993 (in millions except per share amounts) Net interest income $2,384.1 $2,186.6 Provision for credit losses 5.5 119.6 Noninterest income 1,063.1 983.3 Noninterest expense 2,272.7 2,169.8 Applicable income taxes 442.2 334.6 Income before extraordinary item and cumulative effect of accounting changes 724.8 545.9 Earnings per common share before extraordinary item and cumulative effect of accounting changes 8.60 6.48 Goodwill and other intangible assets arising from 1994 purchase acquisitions totaled $307 million and $20 million, respectively. Goodwill related to those acquisitions is being amortized on a straight line basis over 15 years and the other intangibles on a straight line basis over periods ranging from 5 to 10 years. Note Q_Restructuring On September 20, 1994, the Corporation announced that management had adopted a Restructuring Plan (Plan) to improve efficiency and to better position the company for the introduction of full interstate banking. This Plan resulted in restructuring charges in 1994 of $141.3 million. The restructuring activity during 1994 is summarized in the following table (in millions): Early Severance and Facility and Retirement Outplacement Equipment Program Services Valuations Other Total Restructuring provision Initial charge $82.0 $40.0 $15.0 $2.0 $139.0 Ongoing _ _ _ 2.3 2.3 Total 82.0 40.0 15.0 4.3 141.3 Utilization for the period Cash 0.4 4.7 6.8 2.3 14.2 Noncash 81.6(1) _ _ _ 81.6 Total 82.0 4.7 6.8 2.3 95.8 Balance at December 31, 1994 $ _ $35.3 $ 8.2 $2.0 $ 45.5 (1) Noncash amount of $81.6 represents the amount transferred to the Corporation's pension liability during 1994. Payment of the cost of the Early Retirement Program into the Corporation's qualified retirement plan will depend on the timing of the Corporation's contributions to the pension plan. The balance of the restructuring charge will be funded out of operating cash flows with payments for severance and outplacement services occurring approximately ratably over the next year. Payment of the cost of the Early Retirement Program into the Corporation's qualified retirement plan will depend on the timing of the Corporation's contributions to the plan. In addition, it is expected that restructuring charges of another $23.7 million for relocation of staff and facilities, as well as retention payments for certain personnel displaced in the restructuring program, will be incurred and expensed as the program is implemented. Such costs are expected to be incurred relatively evenly through the third quarter of 1995. The total expected cost of the Plan, therefore, will be approximately $165 million. The Plan calls for the consolidations of operations and administrative functions, formation of a company wide Risk Management Group, and implementation of best practices in business lines. As part of the Plan, 1,854 personnel took advantage of the Corporation's Early Retirement Program. In the course of implementing the Plan, another approximately 3,300 personnel are expected to be involuntarily terminated. Because some of the vacancies created by the Early Retirement Program and by the geographic consolidations will have to be filled, the total permanent reduction is expected to be approximately 3,000 full-time equivalent staff. The Plan is expected to result in annualized expense savings of $167 million by June 1996; the savings are expected to be achieved progressively through this time period. Of the $167 million, staff savings total $107 million, facilities savings total $20 million, and other savings (primarily in the areas of purchasing, appraisals, and branch savings) total $40 million. As a result, the Corporation expects to achieve a 58% efficiency ratio in 1995. The Plan should have limited impact on the revenues of the Corporation. The expense savings of this Plan described above are before the impact of any acquisitions announced by the Corporation after March 22, 1994. The Corporation has announced the following acquisitions since that date: 17 branches from the Resolution Trust Corporation in Oregon and Washington; Sacramento Savings Bank and Levy Bancorp in California; North Texas Bancshares and Park Forest National Bank in Texas; and University Savings Bank in Washington. REPORT OF ERNST &YOUNG LLP, INDEPENDENT AUDITORS Shareholders and Board of Directors First Interstate Bancorp We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of First Interstate Bancorp and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the related consolidated statements of operations, cash flows and shareholders' equity for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1994. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Corporation's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. 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 the 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 provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of First Interstate Bancorp and subsidiaries at December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1994 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. As discussed in Notes to Financial Statements, in 1994, the Corporation changed its method of accounting for investment securities and, in 1993, the Corporation changed its methods of accounting for income taxes and for postretirement benefits other than pensions.
