                      FIRSTAR CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
                        DECEMBER 31, 1994, 1993 AND 1992
 
NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
     The significant accounting policies of Firstar Corporation and its
subsidiaries are summarized as follows:
 
     Principles of consolidation--The consolidated financial statements include
the accounts of Firstar and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Results of
operations of companies purchased are included from the date of acquisition.
Financial statements have been restated to include companies acquired under
pooling of interests when material. Certain prior year amounts have been
reclassified to conform to current year classifications.
 
     Securities--Purchases of securities that are made with the positive intent
and ability to hold them to maturity are carried at cost, adjusted for
amortization of premium and accretion of discount using a level yield method.
Securities to be held for indefinite periods of time and not intended to be held
to maturity or on a long-term basis are classified as available for sale and
carried at market value. Valuation adjustments are recorded as an adjustment to
stockholders' equity. Securities held for indefinite periods of time may include
securities that management intends to use as part of its asset/liability
management strategy or have been acquired in business acquisitions and are
designated to be sold. Gains or losses on sales of securities are computed on
the basis of specific identification of the adjusted cost of each security.
Trading account securities are carried at market. Valuation adjustments are
included in other revenue in the consolidated statements of income.
 
     Loans--Loans, which include lease financing receivables, are stated at the
principal amount. Interest is accrued on all loans not discounted by applying
the interest rate to the amount outstanding. On discounted loans, income is
recognized on a basis which results in approximately level rates of return over
the term of the loans. Loan origination and commitment fees and certain direct
loan origination costs are being deferred where material and the net amount
amortized as an adjustment of the related loans' yield. These amounts are being
amortized over the contractual life of the related loans. Where it is not
reasonable to expect that income will be realized, accrual of income ceases and
these loans are placed on a "cash basis" for purposes of income recognition.
Loans upon which foreclosure action is commenced or for which borrowers have
begun bankruptcy proceedings are reviewed individually as to continuation of
interest accrual. Mortgage loans held for sale are carried at the lower of
aggregate cost or market, after consideration of related loan sale commitments.
 
     Reserve for loan losses--The reserve for loan losses is maintained at a
level adequate to provide for potential loan losses through charges to operating
expense. The reserve is based upon a continuing review of loans which includes
consideration of actual net loan loss experience, changes in the size and
character of the loan portfolio, identification of problem situations which may
affect the borrowers' ability to repay and evaluation of current economic
conditions. Loan losses are recognized through charges to the reserve.
Installment and credit card loan losses are charged to the reserve based upon
fixed delinquency periods. All other loans are evaluated individually and
charged to the reserve to the extent that outstanding principal balances are
deemed uncollectible. Any subsequent recoveries are added to the reserve.
 
     Other Real Estate--Other real estate, the balance of which is included in
other assets, includes primarily properties acquired through loan foreclosure
proceedings or acceptance of deeds in lieu of foreclosure. These properties are
recorded at the lower of the carrying value of the related loans or the fair
market value of the real estate acquired less the estimated costs to sell the
real estate. Initial valuation adjustments, if any, are charged against the
reserve for loan losses. Subsequent reevaluations of the properties, which
indicate reduced value, are recognized through charges to operating expense.
Revenues and expenditures related to holding and operating these properties are
included in other operating expense.
 
                                        6
<PAGE>   8
 
     Bank premises and equipment--Bank premises and equipment are stated at cost
less depreciation, which has been accumulated on the straight-line basis.
 
     Intangible assets--Intangible assets attributable to the value of core
deposits and goodwill acquired are included in other assets and are amortized
over fifteen to twenty-five years, on a straight-line basis. The value of
mortgage servicing rights acquired is amortized in relation to the servicing
revenue expected to be earned. Firstar periodically evaluates the carrying value
and remaining amortization periods of intangible assets for impairment.
Adjustments are recorded when the benefit of the intangible asset decreases due
to disposition of branches or deposits with regard to goodwill and core deposit
premium, and prepayments of serviced loans for purchased mortgage servicing
rights.
 
     Income taxes--Firstar and its subsidiaries file a consolidated federal
income tax return. The effect of items of income and expense that are recognized
for financial reporting purposes in periods other than those in which they are
recognized for tax purposes are reflected as a current or deferred tax asset or
liability based on current tax laws. Accordingly, income taxes provided in the
consolidated statements of income include charges or credits for deferred income
taxes related to temporary differences.
 
     Foreign currency transactions--Monetary assets and liabilities recorded in
foreign currencies are translated at the rate of exchange in effect at each
year-end. Income statement items are translated monthly using the average rate
for the month. Firstar enters into forward exchange contracts on behalf of its
customers and hedges its risk by entering into offsetting transactions with
other counterparties. The fair value of these transactions are included in other
assets and liabilities and the related gain or loss is recorded in other
revenue.
 
     Cash and cash equivalents--For purposes of the consolidated statements of
cash flows, cash and cash equivalents are considered to include the balance
sheet caption cash and due from banks.
 
     Derivative and other financial instruments--Firstar enters into interest
rate swaps and other financial instruments to manage interest rate risks arising
from financial assets and financial liabilities and also as an intermediary for
transactions with its customers. Interest rate instruments entered into as an
intermediary are accounted for as trading instruments and are recorded in the
balance sheet at fair value. Realized and unrealized changes in fair values are
recognized in other operating revenue.
 
     Amounts receivable or payable under financial instruments used to manage
interest rate risks are recognized as interest income or expense using the
accrual method. Gains and losses on financial instruments qualifying as hedges
of existing assets or liabilities are included in the carrying amount of those
assets and liabilities. Gains and losses on early termination of interest rate
swaps are included in the carrying amount of the related loan or debt and
amortized as yield adjustments over the remaining term of the loan or debt. Fees
paid or received in connection with interest rate floors and caps are deferred
and amortized over the life of the instrument.
 
     Income per common share--Net Income per common share is based on the
weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each year,
after giving effect to common stock splits and the amortization of restricted
stock. The weighted average shares were 75,195,000 in 1994, 74,131,000 in 1993
and 71,992,000 in 1992. For calculation purposes, earnings are reduced by
preferred stock dividends. Common stock equivalents are not significant in any
year presented.

     Certain executive officers, directors, shareholders, and their associates
of Firstar and significant subsidiaries are loan customers of the banking
subsidiaries. Loans outstanding to such parties were $150.3 million on December
31, 1994 and $154.5 million on December 31, 1993. During 1994 new loans of $34.9
million were made and loan payments of $39.1 million were received. These loans
were made in the ordinary course of business and on substantially the same terms
as those prevailing for comparable transactions with other persons.

     The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 114,
"Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan", which is effective in 1995.
The Statement established procedures for determining the appropriate reserve for
loan losses for loans deemed impaired. The calculation of reserve levels would
be based upon the discounted present value of expected cash flows received from
the debtor or other measures of value such as market prices or collateral
values. This statement was adopted January 1, 1995 and did not have any
significant impact on the current level of the reserve for loan losses and is
not expected to effect 1995 operating results.

$33,870,000 in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. Contingent rentals and
sublease rental income amounts were not significant.
 
     Occupancy expense is net of amortization of a total of $68 million of
pre-tax deferred gain on a building sale which is being amortized through 1997,
at which time the related leaseback expires. This amortization was $9,029,000 in
1994 and $6,312,000 in 1993 and 1992.
 
     Firstar and its subsidiaries are obligated under noncancellable operating

     Under the Firstar Shareholder rights plan each share of common stock
entitles its holder to one-half right. Under certain conditions, each right
entitles the holder to purchase one one-hundredth of a share of Series C
preferred stock at a price of $85, subject to adjustment. The rights will only
be exercisable if a person or group has acquired, or announced an intention to
acquire, 20% or more of the outstanding shares of Firstar common stock. Under
certain circumstances, including the existence of a 20% acquiring party, each
holder of a right, other than the acquiring party, will be entitled to purchase
at the exercise price Firstar common shares having a market value of two times
the exercise price. In the event of the acquisition of Firstar by another
company subsequent to a party acquiring 20% or more of Firstar common stock,
each holder of a right is entitled to receive the acquiring company's common
shares having a market value of two times the exercise price. The rights may be
redeemed at a price of $.01 per right prior to the existence of a 20% acquiring
party, and thereafter, may be exchanged for one common share per right prior to
the existence of a 50% acquiring party. The rights will expire on January 19,
1999. The rights do not have voting or dividend rights and until they become
exercisable, have no dilutive effect on the earnings of Firstar. Under the
rights plan, the Board of Directors of Firstar may reduce the thresholds
applicable to the rights from 20% to not less than 10%.
 
     Preferred shares, when issued, rank prior to common shares both as to
dividends and liquidation but have no general voting rights. The Series C
preferred stock, none of which is outstanding, is entitled to 100 votes per
share and other rights such that the value of a one one-hundredth interest in a
Series C preferred share should approximate the value of one common share.
 
     Firstar redeemed all of its Series B preferred stock on December 29, 1993

     Firstar has profit sharing plans under which eligible employees can
participate by contributing a portion of their salary for investment in one or
more trust funds. Contributions are made to the account of each participant
based upon profitability or at the discretion of the board of directors. Amounts
expensed in connection with this plan were $11,804,000 in 1994, $11,057,000 in
1993 and $9,705,000 in 1992.
 
     In addition to pension benefits, certain health care benefits are made
available to active and retired employees. The table below summarizes data
relative to this benefit program. The program is unfunded and the transition
obligation is being amortized over 20 years.

trend rate assumption has an effect on the amounts reported. To illustrate,
increasing the assumed health care cost trend rates by one percentage point in
each year would increase the accumulated postretirement accumulated benefit
obligation by $4,954,000 and the aggregate of the service and interest cost
components of net periodic postretirement benefit cost by $405,000. The discount
rate used in determining the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation was
8.50% and 7.75% at December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively.

     The deferred tax asset increased due to tax benefits recorded on securities
which were marked-to-market in accordance with Statement No. 115 and
acquisitions.
 
     The valuation allowance has been recognized primarily to offset deferred
tax assets related to state net operating loss carryforwards totaling
approximately $187,000,000 which expire at various times within the next 15
years. If realized, the tax benefit for these items will reduce current tax
expense for that period. A valuation allowance of $1,275,000 was added in 1994
due to the acquisition of First Southeast Banking Corp.
 
     Other assets include net deferred income tax charges of $77,279,000 and
$73,228,000 at December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively. Furthermore, amounts
originally reported for 1993 have been reclassified to reflect actual tax return
results.
 
NOTE 15. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
 
     Firstar has outstanding at any time a significant number of commitments to
extend credits to its customers. These commitments include revolving credit
agreements, term loan commitments, short-term borrowing agreements and standby
letters of credit. These commitments involve, to varying degrees, elements of
credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the
consolidated balance sheets.
 
                                       21
<PAGE>   23
 
     Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long
as there is not a violation of any condition established in the contract.
Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses
and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to
expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily
represent future cash requirements.
 
     Credit card commitments are unsecured agreements to extend credit. Such
commitments are reviewed periodically, at which time the commitments may be
maintained, increased, decreased or canceled depending upon evaluation of the
customer's credit worthiness and other considerations.
 
     Standby and commercial letters of credit are conditional commitments issued
by Firstar to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those
guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing
arrangements, including commercial paper, bond financing and similar
transactions.
 
     Firstar uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional
obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. Firstar evaluates each
customer's credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral
obtained, if deemed necessary upon extension of credit, is based on management's
credit evaluation of the party.
 
     Firstar originates and sells residential mortgage loans as a part of
various mortgage-backed security programs sponsored by United States government
agencies or government-sponsored agencies, such as the Federal Home Loan
Mortgage Corporation, the Federal National Mortgage Association and the
Government National Mortgage Association. These sales are often subject to
certain recourse provisions in the event of default by the borrower.
 
     The following is a summary of such commitments at December 31, 1994 and
1993:

     Firstar and its subsidiaries are subject to various legal actions and
proceedings in the normal course of business, some of which involve substantial
claims for compensatory or punitive damages. Although litigation is subject to
many uncertainties and the ultimate exposure with respect to these matters
cannot be ascertained, management does not believe that the final outcome will
have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of Firstar.
 
NOTE 16. REGULATORY RESTRICTIONS ON SUBSIDIARY DIVIDENDS AND CASH
 
     Federal regulations require Firstar to maintain as reserves, minimum cash
balances based on deposit levels at subsidiary banks. Cash balances restricted
from usage due to these requirements were $253 million and $276 million at
December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
 
     Firstar's subsidiary banks are restricted by regulation as to the amount of
funds which can be transferred to the parent in the form of dividends. As of
December 31, 1994, $255 million could be paid to Firstar by subsidiary banks in
the form of dividends. In addition each subsidiary bank could pay dividends to
Firstar in an amount which approximates Firstar's equity in their 1995 net
income. The payment of dividends by any subsidiary bank may also be affected by
other factors beyond this regulatory limitation, such as maintenance of adequate
capital for each subsidiary bank.

     Rate Risk Management
 
     As part of its asset and liability management, Firstar uses various types
of interest rate contracts for the purpose of managing its interest rate risks.
The use of interest rate contracts enables Firstar to synthetically alter the
repricing characteristics of designated earning assets and interest-bearing
liabilities. The following tables summarize the notional amounts of interest
rate contracts at December 31, 1994, used by Firstar in its asset and liability
management process:

     Index amortizing interest rate swaps are used to convert variable rate
loans to a fixed rate basis. The amortizing feature of these swaps serves to
extend the maturity after a predetermined mandatory period if the three-month
LIBOR index rate is above a pre-established reference rate on a quarterly basis.
Additionally, the notional amount of the swaps is reduced on a quarterly basis
based upon pre-established rates beginning in 1997.
 
     Interest rate swaps used to convert variable rate loans to fixed rate loans
have a total notional value of $75 million. Other swaps totalling $76 million
were used to convert fixed rate loans and securities to a variable rate basis.
 
     Interest rate swaps with periodic caps involve the exchange of LIBOR based
variable interest payments with one party receiving a fixed basis point shim
over the LIBOR index, subject to a 25 basis point cap in quarterly increases in
rates receivable by Firstar. These swaps were entered into in 1993 and early
1994, when interest rates were at cycle lows, to preserve the net interest
margin on variable rate loans which were funded by low cost savings and
transaction deposit accounts. These swaps hedge loans of $230 million and
deposits of $700 million.
 
     Interest rate floors provide for the receipt of payments when the three
month LIBOR rate is below a predetermined interest rate floor. Firstar entered
into $195 million of floors to hedge variable rate loans against a decline in
interest rates. Floors were also entered into to hedge $106 million of deposits
where such deposits have a guaranteed interest rate.
 
     Interest rate caps provide for the receipt of payments when the three month
LIBOR rate exceeds predetermined interest rate caps. These instruments manage
interest rate risk on securities and loans.

- ------------
All interest rates represent rates in effect on December 31, 1994.
 
Index rate for interest rate caps/floors is three month LIBOR.
 
     The notional values of derivative financial instruments represent the
amounts on which interest payments are exchanged between the counterparties.
Those notional values do not represent direct credit exposures. Firstar is
exposed to credit-related losses in the event of nonperformance by
counterparties to these instruments but does not expect any counterparty to fail
to meet their obligations. Where appropriate, Firstar requires collateral based
upon the positive market value of the exposure taking into account bi-lateral
netting agreements with certain counterparties. Based on market values,
Firstars' credit exposure was $3.6 million at December 31, 1994.
 
     Firstar enters into both mandatory and optional commitments to sell groups
of residential mortgage loans that it originates or purchases as part of its
mortgage banking activities. Firstar commits to sell the loans at specified
prices in a future period typically within 90 days. The risk associated with
these commitments consists primarily of loans not closing in sufficient volumes
and at appropriate yields to meet the sale commitments. Firstar had contracts
totaling $44 million and $328 million on December 31, 1994 and 1993,
respectively. Gains or losses on these contracts are included in the
determination of the market value of mortgages held for sale.

     Trading Activities
 
     Firstar also acts as an intermediary for customers in their management of
interest rate and foreign currency rate risk. In this regard, Firstar will enter
into interest rate swaps, caps, floors and foreign exchange contracts with
customers to minimize their exposure to market risk. Firstar enters into
essentially offsetting transactions with other counterparties. Customer related
derivative activity is marked-to-market value. The credit exposure at year-end
of $21.1 million is represented by the fair value of contracts with a positive
value. Gross credit exposure amounts disregard the value of any collateral.
Revenue from this intermediary activity was $3.2 million and $1.8 million in
1994 and 1993 respectively.
 
     Information on these transactions is shown below.

NOTE 18. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
     Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosures about
Fair Value of Financial Instruments", requires that Firstar disclose estimated
fair values for its financial instruments. Fair value estimates were based on
relevant market data and information about the various financial instruments.
These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from
offering for sale at one time Firstar's entire holdings of a particular
financial instrument. Because no market exists for a significant portion of
Firstar's financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments
regarding current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial
instruments, future expected loss experience, and other factors. These estimates
are subjective and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and
therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could
significantly affect the estimates.
 
     Fair value estimates are based on existing on and off balance sheet
financial instruments without attempting to estimate the value of anticipated
future business and the value of assets and liabilities which are not considered
financial instruments. Significant assets that are not considered financial
instruments include goodwill, core deposit-intangibles, certain customer
relationships and fixed assets. In addition, the tax ramifications related to
the realization of the unrealized gains and losses can have a significant effect
on fair value estimates and have not been considered.
 
     Fair value estimates, methods, and assumptions are set forth below for
Firstar's financial instruments.
 
     Cash and short-term investments--The carrying amounts for short-term
investments (which include interest-bearing deposits with banks, federal funds
sold and resale agreements) approximate fair value because they mature in 90
days or less and do not represent unanticipated credit concerns.
 
     Securities--Estimated fair value for securities is based on quoted market
prices. The fair value of certain small issues and municipal securities which
are not readily available through market quotations is assumed to equal carrying
value as these securities generally have short terms. These securities do not
represent a significant portion of the portfolio.
 
     Loans--Fair values were estimated for loans with similar financial
characteristics. The commercial loan portfolio was separated into credit risk
categories by variable and fixed rate loans. The fair value of performing loans,
except for internally criticized commercial and lease financing loans, was
calculated by discounting cash flows using an estimated discount rate that
reflects current market rates, the type of loan, credit risk inherent in the
loan category and repricing characteristics. Fair value for criticized
commercial loans was calculated by reducing the carrying value by an amount that
reflects the estimated principal loss. This loss was based on internal credit
analysis of specific borrowers taking into consideration past loan loss
experience and trends in loan quality. For lease financing loans, carrying value
was considered to approximate fair value.
 
     The fair value of credit card loans was estimated using the net present
value method. Credit card portfolios are not actively traded and the discount
rate used reflects an estimated rate of return based on the credit quality of
the portfolio. This estimate does not include the value that relates to
estimated cash flows from new loans generated from existing cardholders over the
remaining life of the portfolio. For residential mortgages, fair value was
estimated by discounting cash flows adjusted for anticipated prepayments using
discount rates based on current market rates for similar loans.
 
     Deposits--The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as
interest bearing and non-interest bearing demand, savings and money market
accounts, is equal to the amount payable on demand. The fair value of
certificates of deposit is based on the discounted value of contractual cash
flows using current market rates for similar types of deposits.
 
     Borrowed funds--The carrying value of short-term borrowed funds approximate
fair value as they are payable within three months or less. The estimated fair
value of long-term debt is based on broker quotations, when available. Debt for
which quoted prices were not available was valued using cash flows discounted at
a current market rate for similar types of debt.

     Derivative financial instruments--The fair value of interest rate swap
agreements is based on the present value of the swap primarily using dealer
quotes. Fair values for caps and floors were obtained using an option pricing
model. These values represent the estimated amount Firstar would receive or pay
to terminate the contracts or agreements taking into account current interest
rates and market volatility. The fair value of commitments to extend credit and
standby letters of credit was estimated using fees currently charged to enter
into similar agreements. The fair value of credit card lines is based on
cardholder fees currently being charged.
 
     The estimated fair value of Firstar's financial instruments is summarized
as follows:

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
 
The Board of Directors
Firstar Corporation:
 
     We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Firstar
Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the related
consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity and cash flows for each
of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1994. These
consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Corporation's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated
financial statements based on our audits.
 
     We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
     In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Firstar
Corporation and subsidiaries at December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the results of
their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year
period ended December 31, 1994, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

The Board of Directors
Firstar Corporation:
 
     Under date of January 19, 1995, we issued our audit report on the

stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year

10-K for the year 1994.
 
     Firstar Corporation is amending its aforementioned annual report by
substituting the attached consolidated financial statements and related notes
for the corresponding statements in item 8 in the original filing which have
