Item 7(b)

               UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
   
     The following unaudited Pro Forma Combined Balance Sheets as of September
30, 1994, December 31, 1993, and December 31, 1992 combine the historical
consolidated balance sheets of FBS and MFC as if the Merger had been effective
at each date, after giving effect to certain adjustments described in the
attached Notes to Pro Forma Combined Financial Statements. The unaudited Pro
Forma Combined Statements of Income and unaudited Pro Forma Combined Statements
of Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30, 1994, and for the years
ended December 31, 1993, 1992 and 1991, present the combined results of
operations of FBS and MFC as if the Merger had been effective at the beginning
of each period, after giving effect to certain adjustments described in the
attached Notes to Pro Forma Combined Financial Statements.
    
   
     The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements and accompanying
notes reflect the application of the pooling of interests method of accounting
for the MFC transaction. Under this method of accounting, the recorded assets,
liabilities, shareholders' equity, income and expenses of FBS and MFC are
combined and recorded at their historical amounts.
    
   
     The pro forma combined financial information included within is not
necessarily indicative of the results of the future operations of the combined
entity or the actual results that would have been achieved had the acquisition
been consummated prior to the periods indicated.

           NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE A: BASIS OF PRESENTATION
   
    Effective January 24, 1995, First Bank System, Inc. ("FBS") completed the
acquisition of Metropolitan Financial Corporation ("MFC"), a regional financial
services holding company headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota, with $7.9
billion in assets, $5.5 billion in deposits and $347.6 million in shareholders'
equity. FBS issued approximately 21.7 million shares of its common stock in
exchange for all outstanding common stock of MFC.
    
   
    The merger with MFC was accounted for by FBS under the pooling of interests
method of accounting in accordance with APB No. 16 and, accordingly, this method
has been applied in the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements. Under
this method of accounting, the recorded assets, liabilities, shareholders'
equity, income, and expenses of FBS and MFC are combined and recorded at their
historical amounts. Pursuant to the merger agreement certain adjustments were
recorded by MFC in December 1994, primarily to accrue for specific, identified
costs related to the merger that are expected to be incurred within one year of
the closing and to establish additional credit loss reserves that may be
necessary to reflect FBS' plans with respect to the anticipated timing of and
strategies related to the disposition of problem assets. The amounts of merger-
related costs included or disclosed in these unaudited pro forma combined
financial statements reflect these adjustments recorded by MFC.
    
   
    The Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Balance Sheets are based on the unaudited
consolidated balance sheets of FBS and MFC as of September 30, 1994, December
31, 1993 and December 31, 1992. The Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Statements of
Income and Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Statements of Cash Flows are based on
the unaudited consolidated statements of income and statements of cash flows
of FBS and MFC.
    
    FBS expects to achieve operating cost savings primarily through reductions
in staff, the consolidation and elimination of certain duplicate or excess
office facilities, and the consolidation of certain data processing and other
back office operations. The operating cost savings are expected to be achieved
in various amounts at various times during the year subsequent to the closing
and not ratably over, or at the beginning or end of, such period. No adjustment
has been included in the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements for
the anticipated operating cost savings.

    Certain amounts in the historical financial statements of MFC have been
reclassified in the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements to conform
to FBS' historical financial statement presentation.

    FBS completed the acquisition of Boulevard Bancorp, Inc. ("BBI") on March
25, 1994, and used the purchase method of accounting for the transaction. BBI, a
holding company for four banks located in Chicago, Illinois, had $1.6 billion in
assets and $1.2 billion in deposits. The unaudited statement of income for FBS
for the nine months ended September 30, 1994, included the results of operations
of BBI since its acquisition date of March 25, 1994. The unaudited pro forma
combined statements of income do not include the results of operations of BBI
prior to March 25, 1994 as they are immaterial.

    The FBS results of operations for the year ended December 31, 1993, included
merger-related charges of $72.2 million ($50.0 million after tax) associated
with the acquisition of Colorado National Bankshares, Inc. These charges include
a $29.7 million provision for anticipated integration costs, system conversions,
and customer communication costs and a $14.3 million write-down of premises and
equipment related to redundant main office and branch facilities. Other charges,
totaling $28.2 million, primarily involved severance.

    The FBS results of operations for the year ended December 31, 1992, included
the effect of adopting two new accounting standards: Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," and SFAS
No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other than
Pensions." Income from continuing operations before cumulative effect of changes
in accounting principles for the year ended December 31, 1992, was reduced by
$56.6 million as a result of increased income tax expense under SFAS No. 109 and
$1.0 million for increased employee benefit expenses under SFAS No. 106. In
addition, the net cumulative effect for prior years of adopting SFAS No. 109 and
SFAS No. 106 resulted in a $157.3 million increase in net income in 1992.

     NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)

    Also included in FBS results of operations for 1992 are merger-related
charges of $124.0 million ($81.8 million after tax) associated with the
acquisitions of Western Capital Investment Corporation and Bank Shares
Incorporated. These charges included a $13.6 million provision for credit
losses, a $26.4 million provision for losses on other real estate, and $84.0
million in merger, integration and conversion provisions. These provisions
were made to reflect FBS' intentions with respect to the disposition of problem
assets and to provide for anticipated merger-related costs.

    The MFC results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 1994
include charges totaling $9.5 million (net of tax), or approximately $.30 per
share, related to the planned merger with FBS and the tentative settlement of
two class action lawsuits against MFC and its subsidiaries, Edina Realty, Inc.
and Equity Title Services, Inc. Expenses related to the merger totaled $1.4
million. An accrual of $14 million was recorded in the third quarter for costs
associated with the tentative settlement of the lawsuits. The settlement was
announced in September 1994 and recived final court approval in January 1995.

    MFC's earnings in 1992 include $75,941,000 resulting from the cumulative
effect of an accounting change related to the adoption of SFAS No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes" (SFAS 109). The prospective adoption of SFAS 109
resulted in an effective tax rate of nearly 39 percent in 1992 compared with 7
percent in 1991 and a tax benefit in 1990. The net effect of the adoption of
SFAS 109 on current year net income was an increase of $41.5 million.

NOTE B: SALE OF BRANCHES
   
    Subsequent to the Merger, FBS sold the deposit relationships associated with
63 excess branch locations. In addition, certain fixed assets which are used to
service those deposit relationships were sold.
    
NOTE C: CLASSIFICATION OF INVESTMENT SECURITIES
   
    Effective December 31, 1993, FBS adopted the provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments
in Debt and Equity Securities" and reported its entire $3.3 billion investment
portfolio as available for sale. To align MFC's interest rate risk profile more
closely with the parameters of FBS asset/liability management policies, MFC sold
in January 1995 approximately $1.56 billion in mortgage-backed securities.
Accordingly, the unaudited pro forma combined statements reflect the
reclassification of MFC's investment securities to available for sale and the
recording of an unrealized loss of $111 million.
    
NOTE D: SALE OF REAL ESTATE BROKERAGE SUBSIDIARY
    Because of regulatory restrictions on nonbanking activities, FBS expects
that within two years of the closing of the Merger, it will sell Edina Realty,
Inc., MFC's real estate brokerage subsidiary.

NOTE E: REORGANIZATION AND RESTRUCTURING ACCRUALS
   
    The pro forma statements include the additional accruals and reserves
recorded by MFC in December 1994, pursuant to the Merger agreement, to reflect
the plans of FBS with respect to the conduct of MFC's business following the
Merger, including the anticipated timing of and strategies for the disposition
of problem assets, and to provide for certain costs and expenses relating to the
Merger. In December 1994, MFC established additional credit-related reserves of
approximately $16.5 million and other real estate related reserves of $2.6
million, and established accruals aggregating approximately $120.9 million
to reflect specific expenses and identified merger-related changes
expected to be incurred within one year of closing. The accruals included a
$13.9 million reserve for the expense of closing duplicate facilities,
$56.5 million for the estimated costs related to severance, $50.5 million for
systems and operations conversion and integration costs, required customer
communications, and certain other merger-related costs. In addition, deferred
tax benefits of $95 million and a deferred tax liability of $11 million related
to the pro forma adjustments were recorded.
    
   
    These adjustments have not been included in the unaudited Pro Forma Combined
Statements of Income or unaudited Pro Forma Combined Statements of Cash Flows,
as they are not expected to have a continuing impact on FBS.

    NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION--(CONCLUDED)

NOTE F: SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
   
    In conjunction with the closing of the Merger, each of the 488,750
outstanding shares of MFC preferred stock was converted into a right to receive
$27.00 cash, plus any accumulated and unpaid dividends on such shares, and as a
result, MFC's shareholders' equity in the unaudited Pro Forma Combined Balance
Sheet has been reduced by $13.2 million.
    
   
    Common stock in the unaudited Pro Forma Combined Balance Sheet has been
adjusted to reflect the par value of the FBS stock to be issued, with a related
adjustment to capital surplus. Investment securities and capital surplus have
been adjusted to reflect the retirement of MFC shares held by FBS prior to the
merger. Retained earnings was adjusted to reflect the adjustments for merger-
related costs as discussed above and the gain on the sale of the deposits.
    

NOTE G: INCOME TAX PROVISIONS

    The income tax provision for adjustments related to the MFC acquisition
reflected in the unaudited Pro Forma Combined Statements of Income have been
computed at FBS' effective combined federal and state marginal tax rate.
