                       Notes to Financial Statements - Continued

                          March 31, 1997 & 1996 (Unaudited)


 5.  On March 31, 1997, $16.8 million of the Corporation's 8.5% convertible
     subordinated notes were converted by the holder into 1,922,114 shares of
     the Corporation's common stock.  The common stock acquired by conversion
     of the notes was exchanged for 168,185 shares of the Corporation's Series
     A convertible preferred stock.  These are noncash transactions for
     purposes of the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.


 6.  In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
     Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings
     Per Share."  This statement establishes new standards for computing and
     presenting earnings per share ("EPS").  SFAS No. 128 supersedes
     Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 15, "Earnings Per Share" and
     purports to simplify the standards for computing EPS and makes them
     comparable to international standards.

     SFAS No. 128 replaces the presentation of primary EPS with a presentation
     of basic EPS which excludes dilution and requires dual presentation of
     basic and diluted EPS for all entities with complex capital structures. 
     Diluted EPS is computed similarly to fully diluted EPS pursuant to the
     previous standard.

     The Corporation is required to adopt the new standard in its year-end
     1997 financial statements.  All prior period EPS information (including
     interim EPS) is required to be restated at that time.  Early adoption is
     not permitted.

     The pro forma impact of adopting SFAS No. 128 for the three months ended
     March 31, 1997 and 1996 is as follows (in thousands except per share):

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL POSITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS

Net income for the first quarter of 1997 amounted to $54.8 million compared to
$46.2 million for the same period in the prior year.  Primary and fully diluted
earnings per share were $.57 and $.56, respectively for the three months ended
March 31, 1997, compared with $.47 and $.46, respectively for the three months
ended March 31, 1996. The return on average assets and average equity were 1.52%
and 17.39% for the quarter ended March 31, 1997 and 1.42% and 14.66% for the
quarter ended March 31, 1996.

The increase in net income of $8.6 million or 18.7% in the current quarter
compared with the same quarter last year reflects the growth in noninterest
income and the increase in net interest income offset somewhat by an increase
in the provision for loan losses and the increase in noninterest expense.

The following tables present a summary of each of the major elements of the
consolidated operating income statement, certain financial statistics and a
summary of  the major operating income statement elements stated as a percent
of average consolidated assets - converted to a fully taxable equivalent basis 
(FTE) where appropriate -  for the current quarter and previous four quarters. 
Operating income excludes approximately $9.6 million ($.10 per share fully
diluted) of special charges relating to the one-time SAIF assessment and write-
off of in-process technology associated with the acquisition of EastPoint
Technology, Inc. which occurred during the third quarter of 1996.

The following table reconciles operating income to operating income before
amortization of intangibles ("tangible operating income"). Amortization includes
amortization of goodwill, core deposit premiums, mortgage servicing rights and
purchased data processing contract rights and is net of negative goodwill
accretion and the income tax expense or benefit, if any, related to each
component.  These calculations were specifically formulated by the Corporation
and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other
companies.

NET INTEREST INCOME
- -------------------
Net interest income for the first quarter of 1997 amounted to $129.6  million,
an increase of $7.0  million or 5.7% from the $122.6 million reported for the
first quarter of 1996.  The benefit from the increase in the volume of average
earning assets offset the slight decline in the yield on earning assets and the
increase in both the volume and rate of interest bearing liabilities.

Average earning assets increased $1.5 billion or 12.2% in the first quarter of
1997 compared to the same period a year ago.  Including securitized adjustable
rate mortgage loans (ARMS), average loans grew approximately $693.1 million or
7.5% compared to the first quarter of last year. Average securities, excluding
securitized ARMs, increased $762.3 million which reflects the Corporation's
intent, initiated in the prior year, to increase the portfolio size with higher
yielding and longer-term securities to adjust the rate sensitivity and leverage
the consolidated balance sheet.

Average interest bearing liabilities increased $1.4 billion or 14.6%  in the
first quarter of 1997 compared to the same period in 1996.  Average interest
bearing deposits increased $591.0 million or 7.5% ,average short-term borrowings
increased $1.0 billion while average long-term borrowings decreased $244.6 
million or 29.9%.  Average noninterest bearing deposits increased $73.2  
million  or 3.6% during the first quarter of 1997 compared to the first quarter
of 1996.

At the end of the first quarter of 1997, the holder of the Corporation's 8.5%
convertible notes converted the remaining $16.8 million of such debt into Series
A convertible preferred stock. During the first quarter of 1997, approximately
$105 million of the Corporation's banking subsidiaries' Bank Notes matured and
were refinanced primarily with short-term borrowings and brokered certificates
of deposit.

The growth and composition of the Corporation's quarterly average loan portfolio
for the current quarter and previous four quarters are reflected below. 
Securitized ARM loans which are classified in the consolidated balance sheets
as investment securities available for sale are included to provide a more
meaningful comparison ($ in millions):

During 1996 approximately $224 million of ARM loans were converted into
government guaranteed agency pool securities of which, approximately $88 million
of such loans were securitized in the first quarter of 1996. There were no ARM
loan securitizations during the first quarter of 1997. Including the securitized
ARMs, average residential mortgages increased by approximately $303 million or
12.4% in the first quarter of 1997 compared with the first quarter of 1996.
Approximately $114.3 million of the increase is attributable to home equity
loans and lines of credit.

Lease financing receivables increased $65.8 million or 23.7% in the first
quarter of 1997 compared with the same period last year of which, approximately
$44.4 million is due to growth in automobile leasing.

Money market savings and brokered CDs exhibited the greatest growth  when
comparing  average deposits in the first quarter of 1997 to the first quarter
of 1996. The money market index account increased $325.3 million or 21.9% and
averaged $1.8 billion in the first quarter of 1997 compared with $1.5 billion
during the same period last year.  The increase in brokered CDs represents the
Corporation's intent to acquire longer-term CDs with maturities of one year or
more in order to provide a stable source of funds that over time is less costly
than Bank Notes.

The Corporation's consolidated average interest earning assets and interest
bearing liabilities, interest earned and interest paid for the current quarter
and comparative prior year quarter are presented in the following table. 
Securitized ARM loans that are classified as investment securities available for

The net interest margin as a percent of average earning assets declined 17 basis
points from 4.22% in the first quarter of 1996 to 4.05% in the current quarter.
The yield on average earning assets declined slightly while the cost of interest
bearing liabilities increased 8 basis points.  The cost of interest bearing
deposits increased 4 basis points and short-term borrowing costs increased 10
basis points. The cost of long-term borrowings increased 70 basis points which
reflects, in part, the issuance of $200 million of 7.65% cumulative preferred
capital securities in December, 1996.

At March 31, 1997, the Corporation had standard receive fixed/pay floating
interest rate swaps and interest rate floors designated as hedges to manage the
interest rate volatility associated with variable rate loans and the convexity
risk associated with investments in collateralized mortgage obligations.
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
The Corporation's position with respect to interest rate swaps and interest rate
floors at March 31, 1997 consisted of the following ($ in millions):

    Interest Rate Swaps
    -------------------
      Notional Value                                 $450
      Weighted average receive rate                  6.31%
      Weighted average pay rate                      5.58%
      Weighted average remaining term (in years)      2.7
      Estimated fair value                          ($3.1)


    Interest Rate Floors

      Notional Value                                  $50
      Strike Rate                                    5.13%
      Index                                          5.59%
      Weighted average remaining term (in years)      4.6
      Estimated fair value                          $0.17
      Unamortized premium                           $0.12


For the three months ended March 31, 1997, the effect on net interest income
resulting from the swaps net of floor premium amortization was a positive $0.8
million which increased the yield on loans and securitized ARMs by 3 basis
points. The effect on net interest income in the first quarter of 1996 was not
material.


PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES AND CREDIT QUALITY
- --------------------------------------------
At March 31, 1997, nonperforming assets were $77.6 million compared to $75.0
million at December 31, 1996 and $90.8 million at March 31, 1996.  Nonaccrual
loans, the largest component of nonperforming assets, increased $2.4 million
since year-end 1996 and decreased $9.0 million since March 31, 1996.  Other real
estate owned and loans past due 90 days or more increased slightly since year
end while renegotiated loans decreased slightly since December 31, 1996. 
Compared to March 31, 1996, renegotiated loans decreased $1.4 million, loans
past due 90 days or more were relatively unchanged and other real estate owned
decreased $3.0 million.

Total nonaccrual commercial loans and leases increased $2.4 million since year-
end 1996 and decreased $15.4 million since March 31, 1996.  Nonaccrual
commercial loans and leases are substantially responsible for the increase in
nonperforming assets at March 31, 1997 compared to nonperforming assets at
December 31, 1996.  Since year end 1996, nonaccrual real estate loans and
nonaccrual personal loans have remained relatively unchanged.

Net charge-offs in the first quarter of 1997 amounted to $5.6 million or .24%
of average loans compared to $.9 million or .04% of average loans in the fourth
quarter of 1996 and $2.7 million or .13% of average loans in the first quarter
of 1996.  Four larger commercial loans accounted for approximately $2.7 million
and two larger commercial real estate loans accounted for $.8 million of the net
charge-off activity during the first quarter of 1997.

The allowance for loan losses amounted to $154.6 million or 1.61% of total loans
at March 31, 1997 compared to $155.9 million or 1.68% at December 31, 1996 and
$161.8 million or 1.84% at March 31, 1996.  The coverage ratio of the allowance
for loan losses to nonperforming loans was 215% at March 31, 1997 compared with
225% at December 31, 1996 and 197% at March 31, 1996.

The provision for loan losses amounted to $4.3 million in the first quarter of
1997 compared to $3.6 million in the first quarter of 1996.  The increase is
primarily due to loan growth.

OTHER INCOME
- ------------
Total other income in the first quarter of 1997 amounted to $137.6 million, an
increase of $24.9 million or 22.1%, compared to $112.7 million in the same
period last year.

Data processing revenue increased $21.7 million or 37.3 % from $58.4 million in
the first quarter of 1996 to $80.1 million in the current quarter.  Processing
revenue increased $14.4 million or 34.7%.  Software revenue increased $1.8
million or 28.3% which reflects, in part, the purchase acquisition of EastPoint
Technology, Inc. which occurred in the third quarter of 1996.  Buyout fees,
which can vary from period to period, increased $4.4 million.  Revenues from
unique services such as contract programming and consulting increased $.9
million.  Due to the timing of conversions and contract signings no significant
customer(s) began their processing cycles during the first quarter of 1996. 
Compared to the fourth quarter of 1996, revenue from data processing services
increased $5.7 million or 7.7% of which, $2.0 million represents an increase in
buyout fees.

Trust services revenue amounted to $18.9 million in the first quarter of 1997,
an increase of $2.1 million or 12.7% compared to $16.8 million in the first
quarter of 1996.  While all components of trust services revenue experienced an
increase, personal trust fees increased $1.1 million and accounted for 53% of
the total growth in trust revenue.

Other customer services increased $.7 million or 2.3% and totaled $29.6 million
in the first quarter of 1997 compared to $28.9 million in the same period one
year ago.  Service charges on deposits of $13.6 million increased $.7 million
from the prior year.

Net securities gains in the first quarter of 1997 amounted to $.8 million and
were not significant in the first quarter of 1996.  During the first quarter of
1997, the Corporation's Capital Markets Group realized gains of $2.1 million
which were offset by $1.3 million of net securities losses recognized by the
Corporation from the sale of available for sale securities.

All other income amounted to $8.2 million in the first quarter of 1997 compared
to $8.6 million  in the first quarter of 1996.  Gains from the sale of
residential mortgage loans which includes the servicing rights declined $1.6
million.  Gains on the sale of other real estate increased $0.3 million.  During
the first quarter of 1997 the Corporation realized a gain from the sale of a
banking branch for approximately $.6 million.


OTHER EXPENSE
- -------------
Total other expenses in the first quarter of 1997 amounted to $180.8 million,
an increase of $21.6 million or 13.6% compared to $159.2 million in the same
period last year.

The increase in expenses is primarily attributable to the Corporation's
nonbanking businesses especially its Data Services Division ("Data Services"). 
Data Services expense growth reflects the impact of the acquisition of EastPoint
Technology, Inc., the cost of adding  processing capacity and other related
costs associated with increased revenue growth and maintenance activities
associated with the Year 2000.  It is estimated that the net cost to change
existing computer programs for both internal and external software will be
approximately $25 million.  It is anticipated that a substantial portion of the
total cost will be incurred over the next two years and will be expensed as
incurred.  Data Services incurred approximately $2 million of expense in all of
1996 and incurred approximately $2 million of expense in the first quarter of
1997 related to the Year 2000.  Future data processing revenue is critically
dependent upon the successful implementation of the necessary changes.
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
Expenses of the Corporation's banks in the first quarter of 1996 and throughout
all of 1996 include costs of implementing certain initiatives in the areas of
retail and small business lending, loan and deposit operational support and
product and service distribution networks.

Salaries and employee benefits expense amounted to $105.4 million in the first
quarter of 1997 compared to $91.6 million in the first quarter of 1996, an
increase of $13.8 million or 15.0%.  Salaries and employee benefits expense of
Data Services increased $10.8 million or 28.8% in the current quarter compared
to the same period last year.  At March 31, 1997  Data Services had
approximately 3,157 employees compared to 2,643 at March 31, 1996 which
reflects, in part, the addition of EastPoint Technology, Inc. and four data
centers.

Data Services expense growth accounted for approximately 74% of the increase in
equipment, software, and processing expenses in the first quarter of 1997
compared to the first of 1996.  The decrease in supplies and printing expense
of $.5 million in the current quarter compared with the same period last year
is also primarily attributable to Data Services.

All other expense increased 22.6% or $4.6 million from $20.6 million in the
first quarter of 1996 to $25.2 million in the first quarter of 1997. Data
Services contributed $1.7 million of the expense growth.  Credit card franchise
and authorization fees increased $2.1 million.  During the first quarter of
1997, the Corporation incurred employee related losses of $.7 million. In
addition to the above, this category of expense is affected by the
capitalization of costs, net of amortization, associated with software
development and data processing conversions.  The amount of cost capitalized,
net of amortization in the first quarter of 1997, was $1.7 million more than the
amount recorded in the first quarter of the prior year.


INCOME TAXES
- ------------
The provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 1997
amounted to $27.4 million compared to $26.4 million for the three months ended
March 31, 1996. The decrease in the effective tax rate is primarily due to the
increase in interest income exempt from Federal income taxes.


CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -----------------
Shareholders' equity was $1.28 billion at March 31, 1997 compared to $1.26
billion at December 31, 1996 and March 31, 1996.

Net unrealized gains on securities available for sale decreased $16.8 million
since December 31, 1996.  This decrease was offset by the March 31, 1997
conversion of the Corporation's 8.5% convertible subordinated notes as more
fully described in Note 5 of the Notes to Financial Statements.

The Corporation continued to acquire common shares in accordance with the Stock
Repurchase Program approved by its Board of Directors.  During the first quarter
of 1997, .8 million shares of common stock were acquired with an aggregate cost
of $28.7 million.  Since inception of the program 19.2 million common shares
have been acquired with a cumulative cost of $479.4 million or $24.94 per share
on a weighted average basis.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
- -------------------
On March 15,1997, the Corporation announced it would acquire Security Capital
Corporation ("Security") for approximately 12.3 million shares of its Common
Stock and approximately $376 million in cash in a transaction to be accounted
for as a purchase.

Security is the parent of Security Bank S.S.B. a  Wisconsin state-chartered
stock savings bank headquartered in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.  As of December 31,
1996, Security had consolidated assets of approximately $3.7 billion.

The transaction is anticipated to be completed by October 1, 1997, pending
regulatory and shareholder approvals.

On March 17, 1997, Standard & Poor's announced that it had placed the
Corporation and the preferred stock rating of its subsidiary, M&I Capital Trust
A, on Credit Watch with negative implications, following the announced
acquisition of Security and affirmed the ratings of the Corporation's bank
subsidiaries based on their strong financial condition and good operating
performance.

According to Standard & Poor's, upon completion of the Security acquisition,
the Corporation's senior debt and long-term counterparty rating may go to
single-A from A-plus, and the subordinated debt rating to A-minus from
single-A; M&I Capital Trust A's preferred stock rating will likely go to
BBB-plus from A-minus.

None of the other rating agencies made similar announcements.  The Corporation
does not anticipate that such announcement will have an adverse impact on its
ability to issue debt or materially affect its ability to issue debt at
competitive rates.
