1. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements
of First Interstate Bancorp are prepared in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments (all of which are of a normal recurring nature)
necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial
position and the results of operations for the periods
presented have been included. These unaudited consolidated
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
audited consolidated financial statements included in the
First Interstate Bancorp Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 1994. Certain prior year balances
have been reclassified to conform to current year
classifications.

======== ===== ===== ========
During 1994 and the nine months ended September 30, 1995
there were no transfers or sales of held-to-maturity
securities, or transfers of available-for-sale securities to
trading.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), at its
October 18, 1995 meeting, approved a proposal to provide
organizations a one-time opportunity to reconsider their
ability and intent to hold securities to maturity and allow
the transfer of securities from their held-to-maturity
portfolios without requiring the remaining portfolio to be
reported at fair value. These transfers would be permitted
during the period from the date of issuance of a Special
Report by the FASB (expected to be mid-November) through
December 31, 1995. The Corporation does not expect any
potential realignment of its securities portfolio to have a
significant impact on its financial statements.
3. In January 1995, the Corporation adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards 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," hereinafter
collectively referred to as SFAS 114. 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 all amounts due according to the contractual terms
of the loan. SFAS 114 applies to all loans except large
groups of smaller-balance homogenous loans which are
collectively evaluated, loans measured at fair value or at
the lower of cost or fair value, leases and debt securities.
The statement does not address the overall adequacy of the
allowance for credit losses. When a loan is identified as
"impaired," accrual of interest ceases and any amounts that
are recorded as receivables are reversed out of interest
income.
Impaired loans of the Corporation include only commercial
(including financial and agricultural), real estate
construction and commercial real estate mortgage loans
classified as nonperforming loans. The Corporation measures
its impaired loans by using the fair value of the collateral
if the loan is collateral-dependent and the present value of
the expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's
effective interest rate if the loan is not collateral-
dependent. The difference between the recorded value of the
impaired loan and the fair value of the loan is defined as
the impairment allowance. Impairment allowances, if any, are
considered by the Corporation in determining the overall
adequacy of the allowance for credit losses. The adoption
of SFAS 114 resulted in no material change in unallocated
reserves of the allowance for credit losses.
The following table presents a breakdown of impaired loans
and the SFAS 114 impairment allowance related to impaired
loans (in millions):
September 30, 1995
----------------------
SFAS 114
Recorded Impairment
Investment Allowance
---------- ----------
Impaired loans:
Loans with impairment allowance:
Commercial, financial, and agricultural $ 39 $ 2
Real estate construction - -
Commercial real estate mortgage 11 2
----- -----
Total loans with impairment allowance 50 $ 4
=====
Loans without impairment allowance:
Commercial, financial, and agricultural 53
Real estate construction 6
Commercial real estate mortgage 28
-----
Total loans without impairment allowance 87
-----
Total impaired loans $ 137
=====
For the nine months ending September 30, 1995, impaired
loans averaged $158 million and the total interest income
was $6.8 million, all of which was recognized on a cash
basis. Interest payments received on impaired loans are
recorded as interest income unless there is doubt as to the
collectibility of the recorded investment. In those cases,
cash received is recorded as a reduction of principal.
4. Transactions in the allowance for credit losses were as
follows (in millions):

5. Other assets identified as being held for sale are valued at
the lower of cost or market and totaled $154 million at
September 30, 1995, compared to $26 million at December 31,
1994. These balances primarily represent residential and
commercial mortgage loans held for sale and are included in
other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
6. At September 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994, 15,000,000
shares of Preferred Stock (no par value) were authorized.
At September 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994, 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 September 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994, 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
anytime 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.
At September 30, 1995, the cost of Common Stock in the
treasury averaged $74.98 per share compared to an average of
$73.64 at December 31, 1994. On April 28, 1995, the Board of
Directors authorized the repurchase of up to 7.6 million
shares of issued and outstanding Common Stock, representing
approximately 10% of the total number of shares outstanding,
to be made from time to time through mid-1997 in the open
market or through privately negotiated transactions. The
first 2.5 million shares purchased under the program will be
used for reissuance through the Corporation's various
employee benefit and stock option plans, and Stock Purchase
and Dividend Reinvestment Plan. The Corporation commenced
such purchases in July 1995. As of September 30, 1995, the
Corporation had repurchased 781,300 shares.
7. During the first nine months of 1995, the Corporation was a
party to four business combinations with operating entities
(University Savings Bank, Levy Bancorp, North Texas
Bancshares and Tomball National Bancshares) resulting in the
acquisition of $2.4 billion in assets and $1.9 billion in
deposits. University Savings Bank, North Texas Bancshares
and Tomball National Bancshares were cash transactions, and
the Corporation issued 1,308,388 shares of its common stock
(from its Treasury shares) for the acquisition of Levy
Bancorp. All four acquisitions were accounted for as
purchases.
In addition, the Corporation, through its subsidiary in
California, completed a Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation assisted cash transaction resulting in the
acquisition of $187 million of deposits and $78 million of
loans from First Trust Bank.
8. For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash
equivalents includes cash on hand, amounts due from banks,
time deposits with banks, federal funds sold and securities
purchased under agreements to resell having maturities of
three months or less. Federal funds are purchased and sold
for one-day periods. The effect of changes in foreign
exchange rates on cash balances is not material.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
First Interstate Bancorp
Item 2: Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations
COMPARISON OF THIRD QUARTER RESULTS:
The Corporation recorded net income for the third quarter of 1995
of $237.8 million ($2.96 per share). This includes the effect of
a $23.9 million net benefit from the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation (FDIC) refund for previously paid deposit insurance
premiums ($14.4 million after taxes, or $0.19 per share) and $6.6
million of restructuring charges ($3.9 million after taxes, or
$0.05 per share). Net income of $130.0 million ($1.49 per share)
for the 1994 third quarter included the effect of a $139.0
million restructuring charge ($86.2 million after taxes, or $1.05
per share). Before the effect of restructuring charges in both
third quarters and the FDIC refund in the 1995 third quarter,
income after taxes in the 1995 third quarter amounted to $227.3
million ($2.82 per share), an increase of 5.1% from $216.2
million ($2.54 per share) in the 1994 third quarter.
Taxable-equivalent net interest income was $636.4 million in the
third quarter of 1995, an increase of 5.7% from a year earlier.
This increase resulted primarily from expansion of the net
interest margin, up 23 basis points to 5.45%. Average earning
assets in the third quarter of 1995 reflect loan growth of $6.1
billion (21.0%), largely offset by a decline in investment
securities of $5.7 billion (35.9%). The net interest margin in
the 1995 third quarter was unchanged from the second quarter
margin of 5.45%, reflecting a lower level of investment
securities and corporate purchased funds. Given current economic
conditions, the Corporation expects a relatively stable net
interest margin over the near term.
Average loans and leases increased $6.1 billion (21.0%) from the
1994 third quarter and declined $83 million from the second
quarter to $35.4 billion in the 1995 third quarter. Instalment
loans averaged $12.6 billion in the third quarter of 1995, up
$670 million (5.6%) from a year earlier and up $174 million
(1.4%) from the second quarter of 1995. Average commercial loans
outstanding were up $1.2 billion (13.6%) from a year earlier and
down $150 million (1.5%) from the 1995 second quarter to an
average of $9.7 billion. Residential real estate mortgages
averaged $6.6 billion, up $2.5 billion (62.7%) from a year ago
and down $116 million (1.7%) from the 1995 second quarter level.
Commercial real estate mortgages averaged $4.7 billion, $1.1
billion (30.0%) above a year ago and essentially flat with the
1995 second quarter. Average construction loans increased $367
million (47.1%) from the 1994 third quarter and $27 million
(2.4%) from the 1995 second quarter to $1.1 billion in the latest
period.
At September 30, 1995, loans and leases totaled $36.0 billion, up
$5.6 billion (18.6%) from a year earlier and up $63 million from
June 30, 1995. Instalment loans totaled $12.7 billion at
September 30, 1995, an increase of $520 million (4.3%) from a
year earlier and an increase of $101 million from June 30, 1995.
At the same time, commercial loans were $10.2 billion, up $1.2
billion (13.7%) from a year earlier and up $156 million (1.5%)
from the end of the 1995 second quarter. Residential real estate
mortgages totaled $6.5 billion, $2.3 billion (53.1%) above a year
ago and $125 million (1.9%) below the June 30, 1995, level.
Commercial real estate mortgages amounted to $4.7 billion at
September 30, 1995, $1.0 billion (26.2%) above a year ago and $98
million (2.0%) below June 30, 1995. Construction loans were $1.2
billion at September 30, 1995, up $339 million (41.6%) from a
year earlier and up $9 million from the end of the second
quarter.
As a result of maturities and paydowns, investment securities
held to maturity declined $5.3 billion (36.3%) from a year
earlier and declined $1.5 billion (13.7%) from June 30, 1995, to
$9.3 billion at September 30, 1995. These proceeds supported the
growth in loans between the 1994 and 1995 third quarters.
Between the second and third quarters of 1995, these proceeds
were used to reduce corporate purchased funds. U.S. Treasury and
agency-backed securities declined $5.0 billion (38.2%) from a
year earlier to $8.0 billion at September 30, 1995. Of the
remaining balance, $2.7 billion were U.S. Treasury securities and
$5.3 billion were government agency securities. Of the $5.3
billion of government agency securities at September 30, 1995,
the majority were backed by mortgages. All other investment
securities amounted to $1.3 billion at the end of September 1995,
down $336 million (20.8%) from a year earlier and down $129
million (9.1%) from June 30, 1995.
Total deposits averaged $47.8 billion in the 1995 third quarter,
up $1.2 billion (2.6%) from the 1994 third quarter and up
slightly from the second quarter. Average deposits in consumer
savings, time and net transaction accounts increased $584 million
(1.4%) from the 1994 third quarter to an average of $41.0 billion
in the 1995 third quarter. These deposits increased $250 million
from $40.7 billion in the 1995 second quarter. The Corporation's
CDs over $100,000 increased $266 million (26.6%) from the 1994
third quarter and declined $181 million (12.5%) from the 1995
second quarter to an average of $1.3 billion. At the same time,
short term borrowings, primarily federal funds purchased,
averaged $672 million, up $60 million from the 1994 third quarter
and down $1.2 billion from the 1995 second quarter.
Based on an assessment of the Corporation's current risk profile,
no provision for credit losses for the Corporation has been
recorded since the fourth quarter of 1993. Loans charged off,
net of recoveries, were $32.1 million (0.36% of average loans) in
the third quarter of 1995, compared to $22.4 million (0.30%)
reported for the comparable 1994 quarter. The Corporation
continued to experience a strong level of recoveries on prior
period chargeoffs.
Noninterest income totaled $280.5 million in the third quarter of
1995, compared to $281.0 million reported for the 1994 third
quarter. Noninterest income in the 1995 third quarter included
$5.8 million of venture capital gains. The 1994 third quarter
included $14.7 million of venture capital gains, of which $11.6
million were included in the other income category and $3.1
million were included with investment securities gains. Service
charges on deposit accounts rose $11.4 million (8.1%) from the
1994 level to $151.9 million, while trust fees declined $4.9
million (10.2%) to $43.3 million. The decline in trust fees
reflects the previously announced disposition of Denver
Investment Advisors (DIA), a subsidiary of First Interstate Bank
of Denver. Since the disposition of DIA, trust fees have
increased on a consecutive quarterly basis, with third quarter
1995 trust fees up $3.9 million (9.9%) from the 1995 first
quarter. Among the other components of noninterest income,
revenues from sales of investment products have increased $4.1
million (43.4%) over the 1994 third quarter to a total of $13.6
million in the 1995 third quarter.
Total noninterest expenses amounted to $532.7 million in the 1995
third quarter, including $6.6 million of restructuring charges
and the $23.9 million net benefit from the FDIC refund, as
previously noted. Excluding restructuring charges and the net
benefit from the FDIC refund, noninterest expenses were flat with
the 1995 second quarter. Noninterest expenses before the effect
of restructuring charges and including the effect of completed
acquisitions were $526.1 million, a decline of $2.7 million from
the comparable 1994 quarter. Due to acquisitions completed since
September 1994, expenses arising from the amortization of
goodwill and other intangibles increased $6.4 million from the
year earlier quarter to a total of $15.4 million in the 1995
third quarter.
The Corporation's efficiency ratio for the 1995 third quarter was
57.3%, which reflects noninterest expenses before restructuring
charges and ORE expenses as a percent of taxable-equivalent net
interest income plus noninterest income. This compares to 59.6%
in the 1995 second quarter and 60.0% in the 1994 third quarter.
In the third quarter of 1995, the Corporation recorded income tax
expense of $141.5 million, resulting in an effective income tax
rate of 37.3%. This compares to an effective tax rate of 38.0%
in the comparable 1994 quarter.
COMPARISON OF NINE MONTHS RESULTS:
The Corporation recorded net income for the first nine months of
1995 of $669.7 million, or $8.36 per share. This includes the
effect of $15.7 million of restructuring charges ($9.5 million
after taxes, or $0.12 per share) and represents an increase in
earnings per share of 37.3% from the first nine months of 1994.
Net income of $522.3 million ($6.09 per share) in the comparable
1994 period included a restructuring charge of $139.0 million
($86.2 million after taxes, or $1.05 per share), as well as a
benefit from the recognition of nonrecurring items of $45 million
($27.9 million after taxes, or $0.34 per share). Before the
effect of restructuring charges in 1995 and 1994 and nonrecurring
items in 1994, income after taxes in the first nine months of
1995 amounted to $679.2 million ($8.48 per share), representing
an increase in earnings per share of 24.7% from $6.80 per share
in the first nine months of 1994.
Taxable-equivalent net interest income was $1,921.4 million in
the first nine months of 1995, up 11.3% from a year earlier. This
increase resulted from expansion of the net interest margin to
5.41% from 5.09% in the 1994 period, together with average
earning asset growth of $2.2 billion (4.9%).
Average loans increased $7.6 billion (27.5%) from the first nine
months of 1994 to $35.2 billion in the 1995 period. Instalment
loans averaged $12.5 billion in the first nine months of 1995, up
$1.0 billion (8.7%) from the year earlier. Residential real
estate mortgages averaged $6.6 billion, $3.1 billion (89.8%)
above the first nine months of 1994. Commercial real estate
mortgages averaged $4.7 billion, $1.2 billion (33.8%) above a
year ago. Average commercial loans were up $1.6 billion (19.9%)
from the first nine months of 1994 to $9.7 billion in the 1995
period. Average construction loans increased $326 million
(42.1%) from the first nine months of 1994 to $1.1 billion.
Total deposits averaged $47.8 billion in the first nine months of
1995, up $2.0 billion (4.3%) from the comparable 1994 period.
Consumer savings, time and net transaction accounts increased
$1.3 billion (3.2%) from the first nine months of 1994 to an
average of $41.0 billion in the 1995 period. The Corporation's
CDs over $100,000 increased $402 million (41.5%) from the year
earlier. At the same time, short term borrowings, primarily
federal funds purchased, averaged $1.7 billion, up $1.1 billion.
The higher level of short term borrowings, together with maturing
securities and deposits, supported loan growth in the first nine
months of 1995.
No provision for credit losses for the consolidated Corporation
has been recorded since the fourth quarter of 1993. Loans charged
off, net of recoveries, were $111.9 million (0.43% of average
loans) for the current year to date, compared to $94.8 million
(0.46%) in the 1994 period.
Noninterest income totaled $823.3 million for the first nine
months of 1995, an increase of $31.3 million (4.0%) from a year
earlier. Service charges on deposit accounts increased $27.9
million (6.7%) from the 1994 period to $446.3 million and trust
fees declined $20.8 million (14.4%) to $123.3 million. The
decline in trust fees reflects the previously announced
disposition of Denver Investment Advisors, a subsidiary of First
Interstate Bank of Denver. Among the other components of
noninterest income, revenues from sales of investment products
have increased $10.4 million (40.1%) over the first nine months
of 1994 to a total of $36.4 million in the 1995 period.
Noninterest expenses totaled $1,638.3 million for the first nine
months of 1995. This includes $15.7 million of restructuring
charges in the current year, versus $139.0 million in the 1994
period, as previously noted. Noninterest expenses before the
effect of these charges and including the effect of completed
acquisitions were $1,622.6 million in the current year, an
increase of $102.0 million (6.7%) from the first nine months of
1994. Approximately $41.8 million of the increase represents
higher outside contract fees, $29.6 million reflects higher
occupancy and equipment expenses, and $21.8 million represents
higher charges resulting from the amortization of intangibles.
These increases were partially offset by the $23.9 million net
benefit from the FDIC refund.
For the first nine months of 1995, the Corporation recorded
income tax expense of $419.9 million, resulting in an effective
income tax rate of 38.5%. This compares to an effective tax rate
of 38.0% in the comparable 1994 period.
LIQUIDITY MANAGEMENT:
Liquidity refers to the Corporation's ability to adjust its
future cash flows to meet the needs of depositors and borrowers
and to fund operations on a timely and cost effective basis.
The Corporation continues to utilize the core deposits gathered
through its extensive interstate retail banking network as a key
source of low-cost funding. Core deposits, defined as demand
deposits, interest bearing consumer deposits under $100,000 and
noninterest bearing time deposits, together with corporate
purchased funds and equity are the primary sources for funding
earning assets. During the third quarter of 1995, core deposits
represented 88% of average earning assets, compared to 88% in the
third quarter of 1994 and 86% in the second quarter of 1995.
At the same time, average corporate purchased funds increased
$429 million from the 1994 third quarter to $3.3 billion, but
declined $1.4 billion from the 1995 second quarter level.
Average short term borrowings rose $60 million from the third
quarter of 1994 but declined $1.2 billion from the 1995 second
quarter level.
Cash and cash equivalents were virtually unchanged from December
31, 1994.
Net cash provided by investing activities during the first nine
months of 1995 totaled $3,127 miillion. Maturities of investment
securities in the held-to-maturity portfolio, net of purchases,
provided cash of $4,328 million. Maturities and sales of
investment securities in the available-for-sale portfolio, net of
purchases, provided $710 million. Loan originations, net of
repayments, used cash of $2,401 million. Proceeds from sales of
loans provided $975 million while purchases of loans used $261
million.
Net cash used by financing activities totaled $3,872 million
during the first nine months of 1995. Deposits, excluding the
purchase of $187 million from the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation as part of the Corporation's ongoing acquisition
program, experienced a net decrease of $2,278 million. The
Corporation also reported a net decrease of $1,543 in short term
borrowings. The Corporation continues to have no commercial paper
outstanding. Proceeds from the issuance of long term debt
provided $100 million while repayments required cash of $120
million. Issuance of common stock provided cash of $52 million
while dividends paid totaled $201 million.
Cash provided by operations during the first nine months of 1995
totaled $856 million. Net income totaled $670 million and
noncash adjustments to reconcile net income totaled $248 million.
Net changes in other assets and other liabilities decreased cash
from operations by $62 million
The Corporation's other sources of liquidity include maturing
securities in addition to those which are available for sale or
repurchase activity. In addition, subsidiary banks may directly
access funds placed by them through existing agency agreements
for the placement of federal funds and may also access the
Federal Reserve for short term liquidity needs.
SOURCE OF FUNDS:
The Parent Corporation is a legal entity, separate and distinct
from its subsidiary banks. The principal source of the Parent
Corporation's revenue is dividends from the subsidiary banks.
During the first nine months of 1995, the subsidiary banks paid a
total of $474 million in dividends to the Parent Corporation.
Various statutory provisions limit the timing and amount of
dividends the subsidiary banks and certain non-bank subsidiaries
can pay. As of October 1, 1995, approximately $243 million were
free of dividend restrictions under such statutory limitations.
In addition, federal statutes limit the ability of the subsidiary
banks to make loans to the Parent Corporation.
At September 30, 1995, the Parent Corporation had no external
short term borrowings outstanding. Immediate liquidity available
to the Corporation includes a $500 million senior revolving
credit facility, as well as cash and other short term financial
instruments at the Parent Corporation totaling $300 million at
September 30, 1995. At current rates, interest on long term
debt and preferred stock dividend requirements from October 1,
1995 through yearend 1995 total $45 million. In addition, from
October 1, 1995 through yearend 1995, $11 million of the Parent
Corporation's long term debt will mature.
The Parent Corporation has access to regional, national and
international capital and money markets, through its $2.3
billion shelf registration on file with the Securities and
Exchange Commission.
RISK ELEMENTS:
Nonperforming Assets - At September 30, 1995, nonperforming
assets totaled $206 million, down $85 million (29.2%) from
the year ago level of $291 million, and down $43 million
(17.3%) from $249 million reported at June 30, 1995. The
current level of nonperforming assets represents 0.37% of
total assets, versus 0.54% and 0.45% of total assets a year
earlier and at June 30, 1995, respectively. Nonperforming
loans totaled $140 million at September 30, 1995, down $70
million (33.3%) from $210 million reported a year earlier,
and down $40 million (22.2%) from $180 million at June 30,
1995. ORE totaled $66 million at September 30, 1995, versus
$81 million a year ago and $69 million at June 30, 1995.
The following table is a reconciliation of nonperforming
asset activity for the quarter and nine months ended
September 30, 1995 (in millions):

(1) Includes disbursements on loans previously reported as
nonperforming.
In addition to credit assets classified as nonperforming,
the Corporation reported accruing loans that were past due
90 days or more of $98 million at September 30, 1995, versus
$56 million a year earlier and $72 million at June 30, 1995.
The current level of past due loans represents 0.18% of
total assets.
Allowance for Credit Losses - At September 30, 1995, the
allowance for credit losses totaled $847 million, or 2.35%
of total loans. This compares to an allowance of $952
million, or 3.14% of loans, a year ago and $878 million, or
2.45% of loans, at June 30, 1995.
Historical and projected allowances for credit losses
reflect management's assessment of the credit risk inherent
in the Corporation's loan portfolio, as well as the possible
impact of known and potential problems in certain off-
balance sheet financial instruments and uncertain events.
Consistent with regulatory guidelines, the allowance is
maintained at the level that is adequate to absorb estimated
credit losses associated with the total loan and lease
portfolio, including all binding commitments to lend.
For the past thirteen quarters, the Corporation has provided
less than net chargeoffs, with the credit provision over the
past seven quarters being zero. Despite zero credit
provisions, improving economic conditions and lower levels
of problem assets have caused reserves to remain in the
upper range of key measures of adequacy. Management
continues to evaluate the Corporation's reserve adequacy
strategy on a quarterly basis, with the expectation that
further reductions in reserve levels will be considered as
long as the Corporation's risk profile supports that
conclusion.
During the first quarter of 1995, the Corporation adopted
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 114,
"Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan." The
adoption resulted in no material change in unallocated
reserves of the allowance for credit losses. Refer to
Footnote 3 to the financial statements for further
information.
Derivatives - The Corporation continues to engage in a
minimum of derivative activities for risk management
purposes. The Corporation does not engage in any trading or
speculative derivative activities. At September 30, 1995,
the notional value of derivatives outstanding was $5.3
billion, including $4.2 billion in which the Corporation is
an intermediary and $1.1 billion in which the Corporation
entered into transactions to hedge interest rate
sensitivity. Of the $4.2 billion in which the Corporation
is an intermediary, $3.1 billion of notional value has been
sold to Standard Chartered, which has assumed the market
risk of these instruments, and the Corporation retains only
the credit risk.
CAPITAL AND OTHER FINANCIAL STATISTICS:
At September 30, 1995, total shareholders' equity
represented 7.23% of total assets, versus 6.55% a year
earlier and 6.92% at June 30, 1995. On the same dates,
common equity equaled 6.59%, 5.90% and 6.29% of total
assets, respectively. The Corporation's various capital
ratios include the effects of the common stock repurchase
programs and completed acquisitions.
The tangible common equity ratio was 5.32% at September 30,
1995, compared to 5.30% a year earlier and 5.01% at June 30,
1995. The regulatory leverage ratio was 6.00% at September
30, 1995, versus 6.08% a year ago and 5.67% at June 30,
1995.
The Corporation's Tier 1 and Total Capital ratios at
September 30, 1995, were 7.48% and 10.48%, respectively.
On July 18, 1995, the Board of Directors increased the
quarterly cash dividend on the Corporation's $2 par value
Common Stock to $0.80 per share, payable on August 31, 1995,
to shareholders of record on August 7, 1995. On August 1,
1995, the Preferred Stock Committee of the Board of
Directors declared dividends on the Corporation's
outstanding preferred stock. During the first nine months
of 1995, the Corporation recorded common stock dividends of
$175.4 million and preferred stock dividends of $24.9
million.
On October 17, 1995, the Corporation's Board of Directors
declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.80 on the
Corporation's $2 par value Common Stock, payable on November
30, 1995, to shareholders of record on November 6, 1995. On
November 1, 1995, the Preferred Stock Committee of the Board
of Directors declared dividends on the Corporation's
outstanding preferred stock.
On April 28, 1995, the Board of Directors authorized the
repurchase of up to 7.6 million shares of issued and
outstanding common stock, representing approximately 10% of
the total number of shares outstanding, to be made from time
to time through mid-1997 in the open market or through
privately negotiated transactions. The first 2.5 million
shares purchased under the program will be used for
reissuance through various employee benefit and stock option
plans and through the Stock Purchase and Dividend
Reinvestment Plan. The Corporation commenced such purchases
in July 1995. As of September 30, 1995, the Corporation had
repurchased 781,300 shares.
Total intangibles amounted to $740 million at September 30,
1995, versus $348 million a year earlier and $753 million at
June 30, 1995. The higher recent levels reflect the
completion of seven acquisitions after September 30, 1994.
As a result, goodwill increased to $697 million at September
30, 1995, from $309 million a year earlier.
The common shares used in the calculation of 1995 third
quarter and first nine months results per share were
77,515,893 and 77,153,179, respectively. During the first
quarter, 1.3 million of the Corporation's treasury shares
were issued in conjunction with the acquisition of Levy
Bancorp in February 1995, of which 1.1 million represent
shares repurchased for such purpose.
RESTRUCTURING:
As previously announced, the Corporation has adopted a
Restructuring Plan (Plan) to improve efficiency and to
better position the company for the introduction of full
interstate banking. The restructuring activity related to
the Plan is summarized in the following table (in millions):

As of September 30, 1995, restructuring efforts have been
substantially completed. The remaining employees impacted
by the Plan generally have been notified and will be
relocated or separated within the next several months The
balance of the restructuring charge will be funded out of
operating cash flows with the majority of payments for
severance and outplacement services to be completed by the
end of 1995. In addition, restructuring charges of another
$8 million for relocation of staff and facilities, as well
as retention payments for certain personnel displaced in the
restructuring program, will be substantially completed by
the end of 1995. The total expected cost of the Plan,
therefore, will be approximately $165 million, as previously
estimated.
BUSINESS COMBINATIONS:
On July 12, 1995, First Interstate Bank of Texas, N.A.
completed the acquisition of Tomball National Bancshares and
its principal subsidiary, Texas National Bank, for $7.7
million in cash. At June 30, 1995, Texas National Bank
reported assets of $95 million and deposits of $81 million.
On October 18, 1995, the Corporation anounced that it had
received an unsolicited merger proposal from Wells Fargo &
Co. (Wells). The proposal by Wells, which is based in San
Francisco, contemplated a merger of the two companies in
which each share of First Interstate Common Stock would have
been converted into 0.625 shares of Wells Fargo Common
Stock. The Corporation's Board of Directors rejected the
merger offer from Wells.
The Corporation and members of its Board of Directors have
been named as defendants in several putative shareholder
class actions in California and Delaware, alleging in
substance that the Corporation's Board of Directors will
breach, or has breached, its fiduciary duties to the
shareholders of the Corporation in responding to the Wells
merger proposal. Both injunctive relief and damages are
being sought in the class actions. The Corporation and the
individual directors intend to defend vigorously against the
claims.
On November 6, 1995, after exploring a wide range of
strategic alternatives, the Corporation announced that it
had agreed to merge with First Bank System, Inc. (FBS),
pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of November
5, 1995 (Merger Agreement), by and among the Corporation,
FBS and Eleven Acquisition Corp, a wholly owned subsidiary
of FBS. It is expected that the transaction will qualify as
a tax-free reorganization and will be accounted for as a
pooling of interests.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each share of common stock
of the Corporation outstanding immediately prior to the
merger will be converted into 2.60 shares of common stock of
FBS (and cash in lieu of fractional shares). In addition,
pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each share of the 9.875%
preferred stock, Series F, and each share of the 9.0%
preferred stock, Series G (collectively, the Preferred
Stock), of the Corporation, outstanding immediately prior to
the merger shall be converted into one share of 9.875%
preferred stock or 9.0% preferred stock, respectively, of
FBS (New Preferred Stock) with substantially the same terms
as the corresponding series of the Preferred Stock, except
that the New Preferred Stock will have such voting rights as
are necessary to ensure that the merger constitutes a tax-
free reorganization.
The transaction is subject to shareholder and regulatory
approvals and is expected to close in the second quarter of
1996. The Merger Agreement, together with certain related
agreements providing for the payment of certain fees and the
grant of options to acquire stock under certain
circumstances, will be filed shortly with the Commission on
the Corporation's Form 8-K.
The new institution, which will retain the First Interstate
name, will have approximately $90 billion in assets and
$7 billion in shareholders' equity.
John F. Grundhofer, 56, chairman, president and chief
executive officer of First Bank System, will become chairman
and chief executive officer of the new First Interstate.
First Interstate chairman and chief executive officer,
William E. B. Siart, 48, will serve as president and chief
operating officer of the combined companies. Richard A.
Zona, 51, FBS vice chairman and chief financial officer
will serve in that capacity for the new First Interstate.
FBS vice chairman of Retail Products and Technology, Philip
G. Heasley, 46, also will serve in that same capacity.
Linnet F. Deily, 50, who currently serves as chief executive
officer of First Interstate's Texas Region, will become vice
chairman of Retail Banking. First Interstate chief
executive officer of the California Region, Bruce G.
Willison, 47, will serve as vice chairman of Corporate
Banking.
The new First Interstate will have its corporate
headquarters in Minneapolis, and will direct its core
business lines--including Retail, Corporate, Private
Banking, Payment Systems, and Trust and Investment
Management--from Los Angeles. The 20-member Board of
Directors of the new institution will reflect equal
representation from both companies.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS:
On August 31, 1995, First Interstate Bank and PHH
Corporation announced the signing of a joint venture
agreement to market and originate residential mortgage
loans. The newly formed enterprise will be known as First
Interstate Residential Mortgage, L.L.C. (FIRM). Under the
terms of the agreement, commencing in the fourth quarter of
1995, FIRM will market and originate residential mortgage
loans to First Interstate customers and other applicants
across First Interstate's 13-state territory. This
origination capability will be augmented by First Interstate
field loan officers dedicated to low-to-moderate income
communities and private banking customers.
In September 1995, the Corporation recognized a net benefit
of $23.9 million from the refund from the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation for overpayment of deposit insurance
premiums in the 1995 second and third quarters. This action
was a result of the FDIC's August 8, 1995, decision to
reduce annual insurance rates for deposits of well
capitalized institutions insured by the Bank Insurance Fund.
Deposits insured by the Savings Association Insurance Fund
(SAIF), which represent approximately 9% of the
Corporation's deposits, will continue to be assessed at the
rate of $0.23 per $100 of deposits. However, federal
banking regulators have proposed making a one-time
assessment on SAIF deposits to recapitalize the SAIF. The
impact to the Corporation of such an assessment is not
quantifiable at the present time.
