BUSINESS SEGMENTS

The Corporation's financial results have been prepared in alignment with its
three major business segments:  Corporate and Institutional, Consumer, and
Middle Market Banking.  Results from other corporate activities, including
venture capital, the accelerated asset disposition portfolio and other
corporate items, are segregated and reported separately.

Segment financial results are derived from the Corporation's internal
profitability reporting system and reflect full allocation of all items,
including institutional assets and overhead items.  The Corporation maintains
a detailed funds transfer pricing system that charges or credits assets and
liabilities based on known or assumed repricing characteristics.  In cases
where liquidity characteristics differ significantly from repricing
characteristics, a liquidity charge or credit is assigned.  Common equity is
allocated to each segment based on the measured risk of that segment using
historical loss and volatility data.

CORPORATE AND INSTITUTIONAL BANKING

Net income of $53 million in Corporate and Institutional Banking and return on
equity of 12 percent was a significant improvement from the first quarter, but
year-to-date results were substantially below the 1993 level. Performance for
the second quarter of 1994 reflected:

    - Difficult trading conditions, with continued below-trend revenues in
      foreign exchange, derivatives and emerging markets.

    - Continued excellent credit quality.

    - $32 million in interest income and recoveries related to the receipt 
      of Brazilian bonds.

    - Lower noninterest expenses, due largely to reduced incentive
      compensation accruals.

    - Lower gains from corporate financing and debt restructuring equity
      securities.

Revenue performance by activity, including both net interest income and fee
revenue, is summarized in the following table.

</TABLE> 

Lending revenues for the second quarter included $14 million from Brazilian
interest bonds. Excluding this income, lending revenues were down slightly from
a year ago, reflecting lower large corporate loan volume and narrower market 
pricing.

Lower servicing revenues for the quarter resulted principally from timing of
income in shareholder services. Revenues for six months in shareholder services,
corporate trust and cash management were slightly above 1993 results.

Financing revenues were reduced because of sharply lower corporate financing and
debt restructuring equity securities gains -- down $29 million from 1993's
second quarter. Year-to-date results were affected by the timing of leasing and
syndications transactions.

Trading results for the quarter and year-to-date dropped substantially from last
year's record levels. Comparative data for key trading revenue components are
shown in the following table.

All other revenue reflected the higher funding value of increased capital, as
well as lower interest costs for other institutional allocations.

Less favorable market conditions caused lower revenues in foreign exchange and
derivatives, and in fixed income and derivatives.  Last year's environment,
particularly in European markets, was considerably better for these
activities.

Emerging markets activities were sharply reduced in the quarter due to the
generally unstable market conditions.

Rising interest rates reduced funding and arbitrage opportunities relative to
the falling rate conditions last year.  Other trading revenues for the quarter
included lower gains on distressed loan trading.


CONSUMER BANKING

This business segment continued to produce an outstanding return on equity --
40 percent for 1994's first six months -- and outpaced last year's performance 
with a 46 percent improvement in net income for the first half.

The credit card remained the driving factor in Consumer Banking's $80 million
bottom line for the second quarter.  Total credit card receivables reached
$11.0 billion at quarter-end, up 22 percent from June 30, 1993.  Related
revenues and expenses rose at similar rates as the Corporation continued to
invest aggressively to grow this business.

In local retail banking, results for the first half of 1994 improved
substantially over a year ago.   As announced August 4, initiatives are
underway to enhance the quality of products and services in this area in order
to increase revenue and further reduce expenses.

MIDDLE MARKET BANKING

The earnings contribution from Middle Market Banking was $18 million in the
second quarter resulting in a 21 percent return on equity.  Lower credit 
provisions together with reduced purchase accounting costs produced this 
significant improvement from a year ago.


OTHER CORPORATE ACTIVITIES   

Accelerated asset disposition activities resulted in net revenue gains of
$22 million for the second quarter.  Earnings from the venture capital
portfolio in the quarter were not significant.

Year-to-date, venture capital produced significant net income of $66 million due
principally to gains related to the Corporation's investment in NEXTEL
Communications, Inc. Also included in Other Corporate Activities for the first
half of 1994 is a $35 million pretax gain from the sale of the remaining
interest in Brinson Holdings, Inc., an institutional investment management
business. This was offset by total special expenses of $43 million related to
the accounting for personal computer equipment, certain litigation costs, and
other corporate items.

EARNINGS ANALYSIS

SUMMARY

The Corporation reported net income of $168.7 million, or $1.67 per share, for
the second quarter of 1994, compared with $168.5 million, or $1.72 per share,
for the second quarter of 1993.  The redemptive dividend of $4.5 million
accrued in the second quarter of 1994 related to Preferred Stock, Series D,
reduced earnings by 5 cents per share.  Excluding the results from the
Corporation's venture capital operations, net income was $172.3 million, or
$1.73 per share, compared with $147.9 million, or $1.52 per share a year ago.

</TABLE> 

Stronger net interest income and reduced credit provisions offset by lower
revenues in market-driven businesses were key factors in the results for the
second quarter of 1994.

The credit card business was a major contributor to earnings, as managed
receivables grew to $11 billion at June 30, 1994, up 22 percent from
$9 billion a year ago.

The Corporation received Brazilian bonds as part of a debt restructuring that
was completed during the second quarter.  This added approximately $32 million
to pre-tax earnings, including $14 million in interest income representing the
fair value of interest bonds; and $18 million representing the fair value of
principal bonds in excess of the recorded carrying amounts, which was treated
as a loan loss recovery.

The provision for credit losses declined to $43 million in the second quarter.
Reserve building for growth in the credit card portfolio was offset by a
negative commercial provision, principally reflecting the Brazilian debt
restructuring.

Combined trading profits were $37 million in the second quarter of 1994,
compared with record profits of $92 million a year ago.  Despite the decline
from a year ago, trading profits rebounded sharply from the 1994 first
quarter, which produced overall losses of $25 million principally driven by
$54 million in losses from emerging markets trading activities.

                                       6
<PAGE>
 
Other revenue for the second quarter of 1994 included net gains of $22 million
resulting from accelerated asset disposition portfolio activities. These gains
totaled $10 million a year ago.

Excluding special charges that included a $12 million intangible write-off in
the second quarter of 1993, noninterest expense in the second quarter of 1994
was up only 1 percent reflecting a continuing focus on expense control.

The Corporation's regulatory capital ratios continued to increase and are
considerably above "well-capitalized" regulatory guidelines. At June 30, 1994,
the Corporation's risk-based capital ratio was 13.8 percent, compared with 13.6
percent at year-end 1993 and 13.0 percent a year ago. The regulatory leverage
ratio remained strong at 8.0 percent, compared with 7.4 percent a year ago.
Regulatory capital ratios for the Corporation's principal banking subsidiaries
exceeded the minimum levels for well-capitalized institutions.

The Corporation's solid capital position enabled it to take several important
capital management steps: (1) the quarterly common stock dividend was increased
25 percent to 50 cents a share; (2) the common stock repurchase program was
increased from 2.5 million shares to 7 million shares; and (3) the Corporation
announced that on July 1, 1994, its Preferred Stock, Series D, would be redeemed
at a 3 percent premium which will reduce annual preferred stock dividend
requirements by $15 million.

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income includes fundamental spreads on earning assets as well as
such items as loan fees, cash interest collections on problem loans, dividend
income, interest reversals, and income or expense on interest rate derivatives
used to manage interest rate risk. Net interest income is a function of average
earning assets and the net interest margin, which are presented in the following
table.

In order to analyze fundamental trends in the Corporation's net interest margin,
it is useful to adjust for: 1) securitization of credit card receivables, and 2)
the activities of First Chicago Capital Markets, Inc. (FCCM).


                                       7

When credit card receivables are sold in securitization transactions, the
Corporation's earnings are unchanged; however, the net interest income related
to these high-yield assets is displaced by increased servicing fees, net of
portfolio credit losses.  The average level of securitized assets was
$5.1 billion in the second quarter of 1994, compared with $4.5 billion in the
second quarter of 1993.  The effect of credit card securitization transactions
on the Corporation's financial statements is summarized on page 30.  The
impact is also discussed within specific categories of the Earnings Analysis.

FCCM is the Corporation's wholly owned subsidiary engaged in permissible 
investment banking activities.  Because capital requirements for FCCM are
risk-exposure driven rather than based on asset levels, FCCM can generate
substantial volumes of relatively riskless, thin-spread earning assets that
require little additional capital.  Net interest margin trends can be better
analyzed if these earning assets and related margins are excluded.

The following table reflects the elements of net interest margin adjusted for
credit card securitizations and the activities of FCCM.

</TABLE>

On an adjusted basis, net interest margin for the second quarter of 1994, as
compared to a year ago, increased 35 basis points to 3.93 percent.  Adjusted
net interest income rose to $464 million.  

Improved margins were primarily the result of strong growth in credit card
receivables, which produced a more favorable earning asset mix.  Average
managed credit card receivables grew 22 percent to $10.5 billion in the second
quarter of 1994, compared with $8.6 billion a year ago.  Interest income of
$14 million from the Brazilian debt restructuring added 12 basis points to the
adjusted margin in the second quarter of 1994.

PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES

The provision for credit losses was $43 million for the quarter.  The
commercial provision was a negative $14 million, principally reflecting
recoveries resulting from the Brazilian debt restructuring.  In the second
quarter of 1993, the commercial provision was $24 million.  The provision for
consumer loans, primarily for credit cards, was $57 million for the 1994
second quarter, compared with $46 million a year ago.  This increase was
related primarily to reserve building for growth in the credit card portfolio.

The change in the allowance for credit losses is presented in the following
table.

Market-driven revenues include trading account profits, foreign exchange trading
profits, and both equity and investment securities gains. Market-driven revenues
for the second quarter of 1994 decreased to $41.2 million, compared with $170.5
million for the same period in 1993. Market-driven revenues were $151.2 million
for the first six months of 1994, compared with $358.2 million for the same
period in 1993.

Combined trading account profits were $36.7 million in the second quarter of
1994, compared with record profits of $91.6 million a year ago. For the first
six months of 1994, combined trading account profits were $12.0 million,
compared with $146.1 million a year ago. See the line-of-business discussion
related to trading results on page 3 for further information.

Equity securities gains arise principally from the Corporation's venture capital
and corporate finance activities, as well as from the sale of securities
received in troubled-debt restructurings. The following table presents a
breakdown of securities gains from these activities.

</TABLE> 

The venture capital portfolio accounted for $121 million of the year-to-date
gains, of which approximately 65 percent was related to the Corporation's
investment in NEXTEL Communications, Inc., a telecommunications services
company.

Adjusted for the effects of credit card securitization, credit card fee growth
was 15 percent for the second quarter and 17 percent for the first six months of
1994. This revenue growth resulted from increased transaction volumes.

Service charges and commissions for the first six months of 1994 rose 2 percent
from the year-earlier period to $205.5 million, resulting primarily from growth
in product revenues.

Fiduciary and investment management fees for the second quarter of 1994 declined
8 percent from one year ago, to $49.3 million. The corporate shareholder
services business generated $19.6 million of these revenues in the second
quarter of 1994, compared with $23.0 million in the second quarter of 1993.

Other revenue in the first quarter of 1994 included a $34.5 million gain related
to the sale of the Corporation's remaining interest in Brinson Holdings, Inc. to
Brinson's management. Other revenue in the second quarter of 1993 was reduced by
a $5 million charge that related to the early retirement of subordinated debt
and a $4 million charge that represented losses related to partnership
distributions on investments in the venture capital portfolio.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE
    
Operating expenses were $460.6 million for the second quarter of 1994, compared
with $466.6 million a year ago. Second-quarter 1993 expenses included a $12.4
million charge for the accelerated amortization of certain acquired intangibles.
Excluding special charges, operating expense in the second quarter was up only 1
percent from a year ago.

</TABLE> 

In the 1994 second quarter, salaries and benefits increased $2.0 million, or 0.9
percent, from one year ago. For the first six months of 1994, salaries and
benefits increased 3 percent from a year ago. The impact of higher staff levels,
increased 401(k) contributions and reduced pension credits was partially offset
by reduced incentive compensation accruals.

Equipment rentals, depreciation and maintenance grew 22 percent to $32.3 million
in the second quarter of 1994, compared with $26.5 million a year ago. The
increase reflects the expensing of personal computer equipment; previously,
purchases of personal computers were capitalized and depreciated. Currently,
most purchases of such equipment are being expensed. The first quarter of 1994
included a special charge of $24.5 million reflecting the reduction in the
estimated useful life of certain personal computer equipment.

Other operating expense in the first six months of 1994 included $18.7 million
of special corporate expense items that were primarily incurred in the first
quarter; $3.0 million of similar charges were incurred a year ago. Excluding
these charges, other operating expense rose 4 percent, mainly due to higher
bankcard marketing and solicitation costs.

</TABLE>

The decrease in the effective tax rate for the second quarter of 1994 as
compared to a year ago is due to a favorable tax ruling in 1994 as well as the
special intangible charge recorded in 1993. Tax expense for the first six months
of 1994 also reflects a one-time tax benefit for the first quarter
implementation of the final I.R.S. bad debt recapture regulations.

</TABLE>

Fair value accounting is used for this portfolio, which has significantly
increased the volatility of the Corporation's reported earnings.  The
Corporation has instituted a program intended to reduce volatility relative to
expected returns, through the use of equity derivatives and the sale of
investments.  As a material example, during the first quarter of 1994, the
Corporation issued Debt Exchangeable for Common Stock ("DECS") related to
7.475 million shares of its holdings in NEXTEL Communications, Inc.  The DECS
transaction limits the Corporation's downside risk on this investment to the
$271 million DECS proceeds and, at the same time, allows the Corporation to
share in potential market appreciation.  As of June 30, 1994, 58 percent of
the $794 million in publicly traded investments was hedged under this program. 
Management intends to continue to use these and other techniques to hedge the
price risk inherent in this portfolio.

The following table provides fair value and sale information for the portfolio
for 1994.

BALANCE SHEET ANALYSIS

ASSETS

The Corporation's assets totaled $64.1 billion at June 30, 1994, up from
$52.6 billion at year-end 1993 and $50 billion at June 30, 1993.

In 1994, the Corporation prospectively adopted FASB Interpretation No. 39,
Offsetting of Amounts Related to Certain Contracts, which increased the
Corporation's total assets and total liabilities.  For more information
regarding the impact on the Corporation's balance sheet, see Note 6 on page
26.

The Corporation believes that asset liquidity is the most effective way to
manage overall liquidity.  One measure of the Corporation's liquidity is the
ratio of liquid assets to total assets for The First National Bank of Chicago
and FCC National Bank.  The short-term assets defined as liquid are deposit
placements (due from banks--interest-bearing) and federal funds sold.  During
the first six months of 1994, the Corporation maintained an average liquid
asset ratio of 20 percent.  This ratio was well in excess of the 10 percent to
15 percent range targeted by the Corporation.

The Corporation continues to use credit card securitization as an effective
tool for increasing liquidity and diversifying funding sources.  Securitized
credit cards totaled $5.6 billion at June 30, 1994, compared with $5.0 billion
at year-end 1993 and $5.0 billion at June 30, 1993.

Loans increased $577 million from year-end 1993 and $2.1 billion from June 30,
1993.  The increase from year-end 1993 was primarily due to an increase in
commercial loans.  The continued growth in credit card receivables 
significantly contributed to the year-to-year growth in loans.

LIABILITIES

The Corporation's total liabilities were $59.6 billion at June 30, 1994, up
from $48.3 billion at year-end 1993 and $46.1 billion at June 30, 1993.

The continued diversification of liabilities among instruments, maturities and
depositors is intended to balance the total expense of gathering funds with
the maintenance of flexibility in funding options.

The Corporation is able to adjust its funding based on its needs through an
established distribution network in both domestic and international markets. 
The Corporation has strengthened its retail deposit base in recent years
through its expanded presence in the Chicago area.

The Corporation increased the use of short-term bank notes in order to better
match asset repricing and maturity characteristics.  These notes increased
$1.3 billion from year-end 1993 and $2.2 billion from a year ago.  At the same
time, the level of negotiable certificates of deposit declined by $257 million
from year-end 1993 and $389 million from a year ago.

Long-term debt increased $204 million from year-end 1993 as a result of the
issuance of $200 million of subordinated debt in January 1994.  Long-term debt
decreased $97 million from a year ago due to the redemption of $428 million of
subordinated debt and $24 million of senior debt partially offset by the
January 1994 issuance, as well as the issuance of $150 million of subordinated
debt in the third quarter of 1993.

The Corporation's Statement of Cash Flows is presented on page 24.

CAPITAL

Stockholders' equity totaled $4.5 billion at June 30, 1994, up from $4.3 billion
at December 31, 1993, and $3.9 billion at June 30, 1993.

Because of the Corporation's solid capital position, several important capital
management steps were taken during the quarter: (1) the quarterly common stock
dividend was increased to 50 cents a share, from 40 cents a share, (2) the
common stock repurchase program was increased from 2.5 million shares to 7
million shares and (3) the Corporation announced that on July 1, 1994, its
Preferred Stock, Series D, would be redeemed at a 3 percent premium. This action
will reduce annual preferred stock dividend requirements by $15 million.

The Corporation's principal capital objective is to maintain and enhance its
strong capital ratios relative both to its peer group and to the regulatory
capital guidelines. Management believes that a strong capital position is
instrumental in achieving enhanced stockholder returns over the long term.

The Corporation increased regulatory capital in the first quarter of 1994 by
issuing $200 million of subordinated debt.

The Corporation's ratio of common equity to assets, net of its investment in
FCCM, was 6.5 percent at June 30, 1994, 7.2 percent at year-end 1993 and 6.5
percent a year ago.

The following table shows the components of regulatory capital as defined by
the banking regulators for risk-based capital and leverage ratio guidelines.

(1) Excludes $150 million of Preferred Stock, Series D redeemed on July 1, 1994.
(2) Limited to 1.25 percent of risk-weighted assets.

The risk-based capital guidelines consider both balance-sheet and
off-balance-sheet credit risk, while the leverage ratio is an ongoing tool to
monitor capital in relation to total average assets.

The Corporation's Tier 1 and total risk-based capital ratios, as well as its
leverage ratio, exceed the current regulatory minimum guidelines by a
considerable margin. The Corporation intends to continue to build its capital
resources in the current year primarily through internal capital generation and
effective balance sheet management.

ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES

The allowance for credit losses is maintained at a level considered adequate
to provide for the credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio.  The credit
risk associated with certain off-balance-sheet exposures for credit-related
and derivative financial instruments is also included in the assessment of the
adequacy of the allowance.

While the allowance for credit losses is available to absorb potential losses
in the entire credit portfolio, its composition reflects an internal
allocation to the commercial and consumer segments.

Potential losses associated with the commercial and consumer categories are
estimated quarterly and are reflected in the allowance for credit losses.  The
underlying credit risk for both these categories of credit exposure is
actively managed.

Using this framework, the following table presents an allocation of the
allowance for credit losses for both categories of credit exposure.

CONSUMER RISK MANAGEMENT

Consumer loans consist of credit card receivables as well as home mortgage
loans, home equity loans and other forms of installment credit. At June 30,
1994, consumer loans totaled $8.3 billion.

Total managed credit card receivables (i.e. those held in the portfolio and
those sold to investors through securitization) were $11.0 billion at June 30,
1994, up 22 percent from a year earlier.

At June 30, 1994, the allowance for credit losses related to the consumer
portfolio was $179 million, or 2.1 percent of loans.  Comparable figures for
December 31, 1993, were $195 million and 2.2 percent.  Net charge-offs in the
second quarter were $43 million, compared with $26 million in the second quarter
of 1993.

COMMERCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

Commercial loans totaled $15.3 billion at June 30, 1994, up 6.4 percent from
December 31, 1993, and 2.3 percent from June 30, 1993.

During the second quarter, net recoveries in the commercial portfolio totaled
$9 million.  The provision for credit losses related to the commercial
portfolio was a negative $14 million, and the quarter-end reserve of
$502 million represented 3.3 percent of total commercial loans and 335 percent
of nonperforming loans.

COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE

Commercial real estate consists primarily of loans secured by real estate.  In
addition, this category includes certain loans that are not secured by real
estate when 80 percent or more of the borrower's revenues are derived from
real estate activities and the loans are not collateralized by cash or
marketable securities.

HIGHLY LEVERAGED TRANSACTIONS

The Corporation originates and syndicates highly leveraged transactions
(HLTs).  Policies and procedures are maintained for the management and
reporting of HLT exposure.  The Corporation continues to disclose this
exposure using the HLT definition previously established by federal banking
regulatory agencies.

Credit exposure to communications and electronics-related industries
represented the only significant HLT concentrations.  These concentrations
reflected approximately 27 and 12 percent, respectively, of HLT credit
exposure at June 30, 1994.

During the second quarter of 1994, there were no charge-offs of HLT loans. 
HLT net charge-offs were $4 million in the second quarter of 1993. 
Nonperforming HLT loans totaled $1 million at June 30, 1994.  At December 31,
1993, and June 30, 1993, nonperforming HLT loans were $1 million and
$35 million, respectively.

The Corporation's venture capital subsidiaries have invested in companies that
have substantially higher leverage than would normally exist in their
industries.  At June 30, 1994, this portfolio consisted of 38 HLT investments,
with a carrying value of $396 million.  At June 30, 1994, gross unrealized
gains related to HLT investments totaled $85 million while gross unrealized
losses were $67 million.  The same portfolio at December 31, 1993, and
June 30, 1993, totaled $397 million and $390 million, respectively.  At
June 30, 1994, $2 million of unfunded commitments were related to the HLT
segment of the venture capital portfolio.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1

Although the interim amounts are unaudited, they do reflect all adjustments
that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of
the results of operations for the interim periods.  All such adjustments are
of a normal, recurring nature.  Because the results from commercial banking
operations are so closely related and responsive to changes in economic
conditions, fiscal policy and monetary policy, and because the results for the
venture capital and trading portfolios are largely market-driven, the results
for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results that can
be expected for the entire year.


Note 2

The Corporation presents earnings per share on both a primary and a fully
diluted basis.  Earnings per common and common-equivalent share amounts were
computed by dividing net income, after deducting dividends on preferred stock,
by the average number of common and common-equivalent shares outstanding
during the period.

Common-equivalent shares consist of shares issuable under the Employee Stock
Purchase and Savings Plan and outstanding stock options.  Fully diluted shares
also include the common shares that would result from the conversion of
convertible preferred stock.

Net income was reduced by preferred stock dividend requirements to compute
primary earnings per share.  To compute fully diluted earnings per share, net
income was reduced by preferred stock dividend requirements, except those
related to convertible stock.

The net income, preferred stock dividends and shares used to compute primary
and fully diluted earnings per share are presented in the table below.

is included in other assets on the Corporation's consolidated balance sheet to
the extent that the reserve offsets the receivables due from the
securitization trust.  Any remaining reserve balance is included in other
liabilities.  This reserve totaled $234 million at June 30, 1994, compared
with $196 million at year-end 1993 and $193 million a year ago.

Note 5

Included in other assets on the Corporation's consolidated balance sheet are
accelerated disposition portfolio assets of $58 million at June 30, 1994,
compared with $107 million at year-end 1993 and $355 million a year ago. 
These assets are carried at the lower of the initially established carrying
value or their estimated disposition value.

Of these assets, $42 million were nonperforming at June 30, 1994, compared
with $87 million at year-end 1993 and $192 million a year ago.


Note 6

Offsetting of Amounts Related to Certain Contracts
- - --------------------------------------------------

In 1994, the Corporation prospectively adopted FASB Interpretation No. 39,
Offsetting of Amounts Related to Certain Contracts.  This interpretation is
applicable to the balance sheet presentation of derivative financial
instruments.  These derivatives include interest rate, currency, commodity and
equity swaps, forwards, options, caps, floors, collars, forward rate
agreements, and other conditional or exchange contracts, and include both
exchange-traded and over-the-counter contracts.

In general, purchased option, cap and floor contracts are reported in
derivative product assets, and written option, cap and floor contracts are
reported in derivative product liabilities.  For other derivative financial
instruments, an unrealized gain is reported in derivative product assets and
an unrealized loss is reported in derivative product liabilities.  Previously,
the Corporation reported certain unrealized gains and unrealized losses on a
net basis.

Derivative financial instruments executed with the same counterparty under a
legally enforceable master netting arrangement are reported on a net basis as
derivative product assets or liabilities depending on whether they are a net
asset or liability.

At December 31, 1993, the fair value of currency options purchased totaled
$536 million, while the fair value of currency options written totaled
$501 million.  At June 30, 1993, the fair value of currency options purchased
totaled $617 million, while the fair value of currency options written totaled
$499 million.  These amounts are recorded in other assets and other
liabilities, respectively.

The adoption of this interpretation for balance sheet presentation purposes
does not affect the net income or capital of the Corporation.  It also does
not affect its risk-based capital ratios, which historically have incorporated
the gross unrealized gains on derivative financial instruments.  However,
based on current regulatory agency guidelines, the Corporation's regulatory
leverage ratio was adversely affected by this change.  The balance sheet
impact of this interpretation at future dates will fluctuate as the unrealized
gains and losses on derivative financial instruments increase or decrease with
changes in remaining maturity and market rates, as well as the ability to net
amounts under master netting arrangements.

Accounting for Loan Impairment
- - ------------------------------

In May 1993, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) No. 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan.  This
statement is effective for financial statements issued for periods beginning
after December 15, 1994.  SFAS No. 114 addresses the accounting for loans when
it is probable that all principal and interest amounts that are due on a loan
will not be collected in accordance with its contractual terms (i.e. "impaired
loans").  Pursuant to SFAS No. 114, to the extent the recorded investment of
an impaired loan exceeds the present value of the loan's expected future cash
flows or other measures of value, a valuation allowance is established for the
difference with a corresponding charge to the provision for credit losses. 
The Corporation does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 114 to have a
material impact on the results of its operations and financial position. 
However, the future impact at the adoption date is not currently determinable
since it would be based on the existing impaired loans as of that date.

SFAS No. 114 also changes the definition of In-Substance Foreclosures (ISFs),
with the result that a larger portion of currently reported ISFs would be
reclassified as nonaccrual loans.  The Corporation intends to adopt this new
ISF definition concurrent with the adoption of the other provisions of SFAS
No. 114. 

Note 7
- - ------

For purposes of the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents consist
of cash and due from banks.

Cash flows from derivative financial instruments are reported net as operating
activities.  Upon adopting FASB Interpretation No. 39 on January 1, 1994, a
noncash transfer of balances attributable to derivative financial instruments
on December 31, 1993, was made.  Transfers to net derivative product balances
of $573 million, $941 million and $1.3 billion were made from other assets,
accrued income receivable and other liabilities, respectively, for purposes of
reporting the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

Loans of $11 million and $30 million were transferred to other real estate in
the first six months of 1994 and 1993, respectively.

The Corporation's term loans to Brazil, having a net book value of $49 million
were exchanged for securities having a fair market value of $81 million as
part of Brazil's recent term debt restructuring.  For additional information
on this transaction, see page 6.

Note 8
- - ------

The ratio of income to fixed charges for the six months ended June 30, 1994,
excluding interest on deposits was 2.2x, and including interest on deposits
was 1.7x.  The ratio has been computed on the basis of the total enterprise
(as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission) by dividing income
before fixed charges and income taxes by fixed charges.  Fixed charges consist
of interest expense on all long- and short-term borrowings, excluding or
including interest on deposits.

Note 9
- - ------

The Corporation and certain of its subsidiaries are defendants in various
lawsuits, including certain class actions, arising out of normal corporate
activities, and the Corporation has received certain tax deficiency
assessments.  Since the Corporation and certain of its subsidiaries, which are
regulated by one or more federal and state regulatory authorities, also are
the subject of numerous examinations and reviews by such authorities, the
Corporation is and will be, from time to time, normally engaged in various
disagreements with regulators, primarily related to banking matters.  In the
opinion of management and the Corporation's general counsel, the ultimate
resolution of the matters referred to in this note will not have a material
effect on the Corporation's consolidated financial statements.

Note 10
- - -------

In November 1993, the Corporation and Lake Shore Bancorp., Inc. (Lake Shore)
signed a definitive agreement providing for the merger of Lake Shore into the
Corporation.  Lake Shore, with approximately $1.2 billion in assets and
capital of approximately $124 million as of July 8, 1994, had seven locations
in the Chicago metropolitan area.  It was the holding company for Lake Shore
National Bank, Chicago, Illinois, and Bank of Hinsdale, Hinsdale, Illinois.

The combination was consummated on July 8, 1994.  Consideration tendered for
Lake Shore shares and stock options approximates $323 million, which consists
of approximately 6.4 million common shares of the Corporation.  The agreement
provided that each share or share equivalent of Lake Shore common stock be
exchanged for the Corporation's common stock valued at $31.08.  The exchange
ratio was based on the average closing price of the Corporation's common stock
during a 20-day trading period beginning on June 7, 1994, and ending on
July 5, 1994, with a minimum price of $37 and a maximum of $53 per share.  The
average closing price of the Corporation's common stock during the 20-day
trading period was $50.406 per share.

The combination will be accounted for on a pooling-of-interest basis; however,
because the transaction is not considered material, the Corporation will not
restate either 1994 or prior year financial data.

First Chicago Corporation - First Quarter Report
For the Period Ended March 31, 1994

To the Owners of First Chicago:

The first quarter marked our sixth consecutive quarter of solid earnings,
reflecting the diversity and strength of all our businesses. Net income for the
quarter was $193.8 million, or $2.00 per common share on a fully diluted basis.
This compares favorably with year-ago results of $1.91 per share and fourth
quarter 1993 results of $1.77. Return on common stockholders' equity for the
first quarter of 1994 was 20%.

Highlights of the quarter were: better than expected growth in our credit card
business, wider net interest margins, continued credit quality improvement, and
strong venture capital gains. Losses in trading activities under difficult
market conditions partially offset those excellent gains. In addition, there was
a special gain and some non-recurring charges that were largely offsetting.

The credit card business continued to be a major contributor to earnings. Total
credit card receivables climbed 23% from a year ago, ending the quarter at $10.4
billion. Revenues from this business once again exceeded our expectations.

Credit card growth, combined with increased volume in middle market loans and a
reduction of thinner-margin large corporate loans, has created a higher-yielding
loan mix. This improved loan composition is reflected in the first quarter net
interest margin, which rose significantly from previous levels.

Credit quality continued to be excellent in the first quarter. The total
provision for credit losses, which comprises both consumer and commercial
portfolios, was $50 million -- the lowest provision posted in five years.
Nonperforming assets were essentially unchanged from their low levels at year-
end 1993, while reserves remained very strong.

Extreme volatility in global financial markets during the quarter led to a $54
million loss in the emerging markets trading unit. This loss more than offset
moderate profits in other trading activities, resulting in a combined trading
loss of $25 million. We have trimmed back our positions in emerging markets
securities in response to currently unsettled market conditions. However, we
continue to believe that this business will provide attractive opportunities
over the long term.

Our venture capital portfolio produced significant equity gains of $119 million
in the quarter. Net income from venture capital was $69 million, or $0.73 per
share. During the quarter, we completed an innovative financing arrangement
related to our investment in NEXTEL Communications, Inc. that protected a
substantial portion of the appreciation in our venture capital portfolio. This
transaction, along with subsequent appreciation and sales of NEXTEL common
stock, accounted for over 80% of the venture capital gains in the quarter.

Other revenue included a $35 million gain on the sale of the Corporation's
remaining interest in Brinson Holdings, Inc. to its management. Brinson Holdings
is the institutional investment management company that was sold in 1989.

During the quarter there were $42 million of special charges: $24 million
related to a change in accounting treatment for personal computer equipment, and
$18 million for litigation and other corporate expenses.

With respect to the balance sheet, capital ratios continued to strengthen. Tier
I capital increased to 9.1% and total risk-adjusted capital rose to 14.2%--both
up substantially from one year-ago and significantly above the regulatory
guidelines for "well-capitalized" status.
                 
In summary, first quarter results underscore the strengths of First Chicago's
franchise and the benefits of our diversified earnings base, excellent credit
quality and solid capital position. Our management team is committed to
strengthening this franchise further and producing attractive returns in each of
our businesses. We are confident about First Chicago's prospects and remain
optimistic that we will continue to generate attractive financial returns for
our stockholders.

In order to provide more timely financial information, beginning with the second
quarter of 1994 First Chicago will mail its quarterly earnings news release to
all stockholders of record. We will discontinue issuing a separate quarterly
report.

Beneficial owners of First Chicago common stock--those who hold the stock
through a bank or brokerage account, for example--will not automatically receive
the earnings releases. If these stockholders wish to receive the quarterly
releases on an ongoing basis, they can send their request in writing to First
Chicago Corporation, Corporate Communications, Suite 0358, One First National
Plaza, Chicago, IL 60670-0358, or call (312) 732-6204.

EARNINGS AND BALANCE SHEET REVIEW
NET INCOME was $193.8 million, or $2.00 per common share on a fully diluted
basis, for the first quarter of 1994.  Return on common stockholders' equity
(ROE) was 20%.  Net income for the 1993 first quarter was $179.1 million, or
$1.91 per common share fully diluted.
  
Earnings from the core businesses in the first quarter were:
     o $89 million (44% ROE) Consumer Banking;
     o $15 million (19% ROE) Middle Market Banking;
     o $9 million (0.4% ROE) Corporate and Institutional Banking.
Net income from the venture capital business was $69 million, or 73 cents per
share.

NET INTEREST INCOME on a tax-equivalent basis was $336 million. Net interest
margin increased to 2.75% and average earning assets were $49.5 billion.
Adjusted for the effects of credit card securitization and the activities of the
Corporation's capital markets subsidiary, net interest margin was a strong
3.93%, up from 3.61% in the first quarter of 1993 and 3.62% in the 1993 fourth
quarter.

TOTAL NONINTEREST INCOME was $502 million for the first quarter. Combined
trading activities generated a loss of $25 million. Equity securities gains were
$134 million, including $119 million from the venture capital portfolio. The
remaining $15 million of gains was primarily realized from equity securities
held in conjunction with corporate financing activities. The $35 million gain
related to the sale of the Corporation's interest in Brinson Holdings, Inc. was
recorded in other revenue.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE was $485 million for the quarter, including nonrecurring
charges of $42 million.  Salaries and benefits reflected lower incentive
compensation costs relative to recent periods.  Other expense included increased
spending in the credit card business.  Excluding special items, noninterest
expense was up 3% from the year-ago quarter.

The PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES was $50 million for the first quarter.  This
included $43 million for the consumer portfolios and $7 million principally for
middle market commercial credits.  NONPERFORMING ASSETS were $280 million, or
1.2% of related assets, essentially unchanged from year-end 1993 and down 26%
from one year ago.

The Corporation's ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES was $710 million at quarter-end,
representing 300% of nonperforming loans.  Of this total, $507 million was
related to the commercial segment and $203 million to the consumer portfolios.  

NET CHARGE-OFFS were $33 million for the quarter. Commercial net recoveries were
$12 million. Consumer net charge-offs, mainly in the credit card portfolio, were
$45 million. The net charge-off rate for total average credit card receivables
was 3.6%.

The TIER 1 RISK-ADJUSTED CAPITAL RATIO was 9.1%, and the TOTAL RISK-ADJUSTED
RATIO was 14.2%.  BOOK VALUE at quarter-end was $42.19 per common share.

TOTAL ASSETS  increased to $59.8 billion at March 31, up 23% from a year earlier
due largely to an accounting change for derivative financial instruments.  TOTAL
DEPOSITS were $28.8 billion.

ANNUAL MEETING SUMMARY 
First Chicago Corporation held its Annual Meeting of Stockholders on Friday,
April 8, in First Chicago Center. Chief Financial Officer Robert A. Rosholt
summarized the elements that contributed to First Chicago's positive performance
in 1993, including record earnings; excellent credit quality indicators; success
of the accelerated asset disposition program; and a strong capital position.
Reports by the Corporation's senior management are excerpted below:

THOMAS OPTIMISTIC ABOUT CORPORATION'S FUTURE 
First Chicago firmly reestablished itself as a high-performing banking company
in 1993 and has a solid base for continuing that excellent performance in 1994,
Chairman Richard L. Thomas told stockholders. "A year ago, we said that our No.
1 priority for 1993 would be to restore First Chicago to high-performing status.
Today, I am pleased to say that, with the support of our customers and
stockholders and because of the dedicated efforts of our employees, we have,
indeed, accomplished our goal."

The Corporation's strategy for 1994 will be to continue to enhance its position
as the largest banking company headquartered in Chicago. "The industry is
clearly consolidating," Thomas said, citing BankAmerica's plans to acquire
Continental Bank. "Fifteen years ago Chicago was home to four of the 50 largest
U.S. banks. Soon, we will have only two of the top 50: The Northern Trust and
ourselves."

Thomas reaffirmed First Chicago's commitment to build shareholder value and
perform well. "Our quarterly earnings have reflected steady improvement over the
past two years, excluding our large write-off of lower quality real estate in
the third quarter of 1992. In our view, value comes from quality earnings,
growth prospects, and the increases in our price/earnings ratio that ultimately
will result from superior performance."

First Chicago should produce reasonable earnings growth in its core businesses
over the intermediate term, Thomas said, despite regulatory burdens that
continue to impede the ability of banks to compete effectively. "However, if we
are to succeed in implementing our plans and in building the franchise over the
next several years, we must raise our return on equity to even higher levels,
continue to improve our operating efficiency, and in every respect, challenge
ourselves to do the best we can."

Thomas added that First Chicago has the constant challenge of balancing short-
and long-term earnings. "With consolidation proceeding apace and with constant
rumors about the next takeover target, we must be attentive to our earnings
performance over the near term to protect against any unwarranted downturn in
the price of our shares. Nonetheless, we also plan to invest in people and
projects that will support future earnings growth."

While the Corporation has extensive operations throughout the U.S. and important
facilities overseas, there is a competitive advantage to being "the leading bank
in the Midwest and one of the few banks outside New York City serving the large
corporate market," Thomas said. "With this home court advantage and our focus on
charting a steady course, I believe we can continue to produce good returns."

Although acquisitions are not critical, Thomas said First Chicago would like to
be in a position to acquire in order to facilitate growth. "In order for us to
consider any sizeable acquisition, the valuation of our shares will have to
improve significantly relative to those of potential acquirees," he said. "In
any event, we are determined to be disciplined in our acquisition strategy, and
we will enter into a transaction only when we believe it is clearly in the best
interests of our stockholders.

"We face a future of opportunities and challenges," Thomas concluded. "But I
believe that, with the continued support of our stockholders and customers and
the dedication of our employees, it will be an exceedingly bright future for all
of us."

MULLIN: OUTLOOK FOR BUSINESSES IS BRIGHT 
President Leo F. Mullin reaffirmed that First Chicago's businesses have a
"competitive advantage that can be sustained over time."

The credit card business has been a major driver of corporate performance,
thanks largely to First Card's proven marketing techniques, sophisticated credit
management, state-of-the-art systems and loyal work force. Average credit card
receivables grew 21% in 1993 over 1992 levels; receivables ended the year at
$10.7 billion.

Mullin said he felt confident about growth prospects for the credit card
business. Growth is not dependent on simply getting new cardholders, but rather
on taking share from other card issuers and then building outstandings by
encouraging widespread card use in nontraditional areas of consumer credit, such
as supermarkets and health care, he said.

In the retail market, First Chicago has been the leader in serving Chicago--the
third largest consumer market in the U.S. and, by far, the most attractive in
the Midwest. The Bank's market share in Chicagoland is 20%. And when credit
cards are included, First Chicago does business with well over 1 million area
households. "Our challenge now is to move more products through the distribution
network and to obtain major gains in efficiency," Mullin said.

American National Corporation, which also has a 20% market share, leads in
serving Chicagoland's middle market (companies with $5 million-$150 million in
annual sales). "Its success derives from excellence in execution," Mullin said.
"At American National, 'hustle' is the strategy--our bankers do the basics
better."

In the large corporate market, First Chicago is No. 1 with Midwest companies and
among the top banks in the nation. "In 1993, we had our best year ever in each
of our corporate businesses: trading, operating products and corporate finance,"
Mullin said.

Based on these factors, the Corporation's businesses should continue to do well.
"First Chicago comprises a set of businesses that were highly successful in
1993," Mullin said. "All have strong prospects for maintaining competitive
advantage in the marketplaces in which they compete. Their futures are bright,
and collectively they offer stockholders the prospect of excellent returns over
time."

VITALE: WE WELCOME COMPETITION 
Vice Chairman David J. Vitale asserted that while the competitive marketplace
continues to heat up, First Chicago is "up to the challenge."

Technology and deregulation have intensified the competitive environment in the
past 20 years. "These two factors have
                                                           (continued on page 8)

NOTE:   In 1994, the Corporation has prospectively changed its balance sheet
        presentation to a separate disclosure of derivative product assets and 
        liabilities, which includes currency options purchased and currency
        options written. This change is consistent with the prospective adoption
        of FASB Interpretation No. 39 that requires the reporting of unrealized
        gains on derivative financial instruments as assets and unrealized
        losses on derivative financial instruments as liabilities. Carrying
        value amounts recognized for derivative financial instruments executed
        with the same counterparty under a legally enforceable master netting
        arrangement are offset. Previously, the Corporation reported unrealized
        gains and losses related to certain derivative financial instruments on
        a net basis. In addition, currency options purchased and currency
        options written totaled $549 million and $522 million, respectively, at
        March 31, 1993 and are included in other assets and other liabilities.

substantially enhanced our ability and the ability of our competitors to take
advantage of a less constrained marketplace," he noted. First Chicago faces
competition on many fronts other than from commercial banks: for example, from
mutual funds and insurance companies, brokerage houses, even telephone and
automobile companies.

"We have positioned ourselves well, we have excellent franchises and financial
strength, and most important, we are committed to quality execution. Success is
dictated by one simple principle: delivering value to customers. This means
working closely with our customers and providing solutions for their financial
problems."

Examples of how First Chicago is meeting the new needs of the marketplace
include changing consumer delivery channels; applying new technology and
developing highly efficient systems for First Card; offering FirstWindow 2000, 
a patented information delivery system for corporations; and most recently,
underwriting and distributing corporate debt securities through First Chicago
Capital Markets, Inc.

"We know that we face a more challenging marketplace," Vitale acknowledged, "but
we can and will take advantage of this challenge and the strength of our
position as the only major Chicago-based financial institution."

Q. Will you address the subject of derivatives, which have been in the news
lately? [A derivative is a financial instrument--such as an interest-rate or
currency swap--that "derives" its value from price changes in an underlying
asset.]

A. Chicago is actually the home of the derivatives business. All the leading
exchanges--the Chicago Board Options Exchange, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange,
the Chicago Board of Trade--are derivatives houses, and they are very important
to the city.

Derivatives are risk management tools. They can be used for speculation, but
they also have sound business purposes. First Chicago has been dealing in
derivatives for 10 years, and has important trading capabilities and expertise
in this area. The Corporation uses derivatives primarily in two ways: first, to
hedge interest-rate risks on its balance sheet and second, to help corporate
customers manage their business risks. Anyone serving large corporations
operating in global markets has to be involved in the derivatives business. The
Corporation monitors its exposure to derivatives very carefully.


Q. Why did First Chicago pay such a high price to acquire Lake Shore Bancorp?

A. The Corporation agreed to pay $323 million, about 2.6 times book value for
Lake Shore, which is a full price but well worth it for strategic and financial
reasons. Strategically, there is no more attractive "micromarket" in Chicagoland
than North Michigan Avenue, where Lake Shore is headquartered. Thousands of
small companies and affluent consumers within a short distance of that major
street contribute to the area's more than $10 billion economy. Financially,
First Chicago can use its resources in consumer and middle market banking--which
far exceed the resources Lake Shore has as a much smaller institution--to build
revenue over time. From an efficiency standpoint, the Lake Shore business can be
folded into First Chicago with substantial cost-savings.
