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.  Primary earnings per share 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.

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 following table.

At September 30, 1995, credit card receivables aggregated $6.9 billion.  These
receivables are available for sale at face value through credit card
securitization programs.

Note 4

The accelerated asset disposition portfolio was established in September 1992.
Nonperforming assets in this portfolio totaled $23 million at September 30,
1995, compared with $37 million at year-end 1994 and $33 million a year ago.

Note 5

Effective January 1, 1995, the Corporation adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of
a Loan," and SFAS No. 118, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan --
Income Recognition and Disclosures."  SFAS No.  114 addresses the accounting
for a loan when it is probable that all principal and interest amounts due will
not be collected in accordance with its contractual terms.  The Corporation
generally identifies nonperforming loans as "impaired loans."  Certain loans,
such as loans carried at the lower-of-cost or market or small-balance
homogeneous loans (e.g., credit card, installment credit), are exempt from SFAS
No. 114 provisions.

On a quarterly basis, the Corporation identifies impaired loans and the extent
to which such loans are impaired.  Impairment is recognized to the extent the
recorded investment of an impaired loan or pool of loans exceeds the calculated
present value.  For non-collateral dependent loans, the calculated present
value is measured using a discounted cash flow approach.  Loans having a
significant recorded investment are measured on an individual basis while loans
not having a significant recorded investment are grouped and measured on a pool
basis.  Collateral-dependent loans, primarily real estate, are separately
measured for impairment by determining the fair value of the collateral less
estimated costs to sell.  Loans that are 90 days past due as to principal or
interest and are not well secured and in the process of collection are
considered nonaccrual.  In some instances, such loans are not considered
impaired if there is no anticipated loss of principal or interest.  Such loans
totaled $10 million at September 30, 1995.

The allocated reserve associated with impaired loans is considered in
management's determination of the Corporation's allowance for credit losses.
The adoption of this accounting standard did not have a significant effect on
the Corporation's net income or its allowance for credit losses.

At September 30, 1995, the recorded investment in loans considered impaired
under SFAS No. 114 was $123 million, which required a related allowance for
credit losses of $26 million.  An allowance was allocated to all impaired
loans.

The Corporation retained its prior method of recognizing interest and applying
cash payments received with respect to impaired loans.  The average recorded
investment in impaired loans was approximately $123 million for the quarter
ended September 30, 1995, and $120 million year to date.  The Corporation
recognized interest income associated with impaired loans of $2 million during
the third quarter and $6 million year to date.

In accordance with SFAS No. 114, a loan is classified as an in-substance
foreclosure when the Corporation has effectively taken possession of the
collateral.  Loans of $15 million, which no longer qualify as in-substance
foreclosures, were reclassified from other assets to loans as of January 1,
1995.  Prior reporting periods were not restated since the amounts involved
were not material.

Note 6

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

A venture capital investment of $96 million was transferred to trading account
assets in the third quarter of 1995.

Loans of $4.2 million and $12.0 million were transferred to other real estate
in the first nine months of 1995 and 1994, respectively.

Loans of $15 million were reclassified from other assets to loans as of January
1, 1995, as a result of the Corporation's adoption of SFAS No.  114.  See Note
5 above for further information.

Note 7

The ratio of income to fixed charges for the nine months ended September 30,
1995, excluding interest on deposits was 1.7x, and including interest on
deposits was 1.4x.  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 8

The Corporation and NBD Bancorp, Inc. (NBD) entered into an Agreement and Plan
of Merger, dated July 11, 1995, as amended, pursuant to which the Corporation
will merge with and into NBD.  The respective shareholders of the Corporation
and NBD approved the merger at special meetings held by each company on October
20, 1995.

The combined company will be called First Chicago NBD Corporation (FCNBD).
Subject to receiving all required regulatory approvals, management of the
Corporation expects the merger to be completed on November 30, 1995.

Under terms of the transaction, the Corporation's shareholders will receive
1.81 shares of common stock of FCNBD in exchange for each share of the
Corporation's common stock.  Each share of NBD common stock will represent one
share in FCNBD.  In addition, each holder of the Corporation's preferred stock
and depositary shares will be entitled to receive preferred stock or depositary
shares, as applicable, with substantially similar terms, of FCNBD.

Shares of common stock of FCNBD will be listed on the New York Stock Exchange,
the Chicago Stock Exchange and the Pacific Stock Exchange and trade under the
symbol FCN.

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.

                         FIRST CHICAGO NBD CORPORATION
                        PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION

NBD Bancorp, Inc. (the "Corporation" or "NBD") and First Chicago Corporation
("First Chicago") entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of July
11, 1995, as amended  (the Merger Agreement), pursuant to which First Chicago
will merge (the "Merger") with and into NBD.  The name of the combined company
will be First Chicago NBD Corporation ("FCNBD").

It is anticipated that the Merger will be accounted for as a
pooling-of-interests and that it will be consummated on November 30, 1995.  In
November 1995 the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System approved the
merger and in October 1995 shareholders of both First Chicago and NBD approved
the merger in separate special meetings.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each share of common stock of NBD will remain
outstanding after the Merger and represent one share of FCNBD.  At the
effective time of the Merger, common stockholders of First Chicago will receive
1.81 shares of common stock of FCNBD in exchange for each outstanding share of
First Chicago common stock.

At the effective time of the Merger, each share of First Chicago's outstanding
preferred stock, and each outstanding depositary share, will be exchanged for
one share of FCNBD preferred stock and one depositary share, respectively, with
terms substantially identical to those of the existing First Chicago preferred
stock and depositary shares, as appropriate.

In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, NBD granted First
Chicago an option to purchase, under certain circumstances, up to 19.9 percent
of NBD's outstanding shares of common stock.  First Chicago also granted NBD an
option to purchase, under certain circumstances, up to 19.9 percent of First
Chicago's outstanding shares of common stock.

The following pro forma financial information giving effect to the Merger,
accounted for as a pooling-of-interests, includes: (i) the unaudited pro forma
condensed combined balance sheet as of September 30, 1995, and (ii) the
unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of income for the nine-month
periods ended September 30, 1995 and 1994.  The pro forma condensed combined
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the historical
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of the Corporation and
First Chicago.

Effective January 7, 1995, NBD consummated its acquisition of the $910 million
asset AmeriFed Financial Corp. ("AmeriFed") of Joliet, Illinois, which was
accounted for as a purchase.  On July 1, 1995, NBD acquired the $760 million
asset Deerbank Corporation ("Deerbank") of Deerfield, Illinois which was
accounted for as purchase.  Accordingly, the historical income statement  for
NBD for the nine  months ended September 30, 1995, includes the operations of
AmeriFed and Deerbank since their respective dates of acquisition.  With
respect to the following pro forma condensed combined financial statements, the
historical income statements  for NBD were not restated to otherwise include
amounts for AmeriFed and Deerbank as such acquisitions are not considered
material.

                         FIRST CHICAGO NBD CORPORATION
                          NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA
                    CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

a) The pro forma information presented is not necessarily indicative of the
   results of operations or the combined financial position that would have
   resulted had the Merger been consummated at the beginning of the periods
   indicated, nor is it necessarily indicative of the results of operations in
   future periods or the future financial position of the combined entities.
   It is anticipated that the Merger will be consummated in the fourth quarter
   of 1995.

b) The Corporation has reviewed its accounting policies in light of those
   employed by First Chicago.  At this time, it is not expected that
   conformance of such accounting policies will have a material impact on the
   pro forma condensed combined financial statements.

c) Certain reclassifications have been included in the unaudited pro forma
   condensed combined balance sheet and statements of income to conform
   statement presentations.  Transactions conducted in the ordinary course of
   business between the two companies are immaterial, and accordingly, have not
   been eliminated.

d) Pro forma adjustments to common shares and surplus at September 30, 1995,
   reflect the Merger accounted for as a pooling-of-interests, through the
   exchange of 159.8 million shares of FCNBD common stock (using the   common
   exchange ratio of 1.81) for the 88.3 million outstanding shares of First
   Chicago.

   The pro forma entries are displayed below (in millions):

</TABLE>


e) A pro forma entry of $181 million was made to reclassify the Corporation's
   deferred tax receivable from other assets to other liabilities.

f) As of September 30, 1995, the Corporation and First Chicago were
   approximately 50% completed with the plan to repurchase in the aggregate
   approximately $300 million worth of the Corporation's and First Chicago's
   common stock prior to the consummation of the Merger.  The pro forma
   condensed combined balance sheet does not include the impact of the
   remaining shares anticipated to be repurchased, prior to the consummation
   of the Merger.

g) Income per share data has been computed based on the combined historical
   income from continuing operations applicable to common stockholders of the
   Corporation and First Chicago using the historical weighted  average number
   of outstanding shares of the Corporation's common stock and the historical
   weighted average number of outstanding shares of First Chicago's common
   stock adjusted to equivalent shares of FCNBD's common stock, as of the
   earliest period presented.

h) The pro forma condensed combined financial statements do not include the
   anticipated cost savings in connection with the Merger.  It is estimated,
   however, that approximately $200 million in pre-tax annualized

                                      5
<PAGE>   16

   cost savings ($126 million after-tax) will be realized by the combined
   company in 1997.  Reductions resulting from elimination of the overlap in
   Chicago-area retail branch expense constitute the largest component.
   Product synergies in the large corporate and middle markets, and staff and
   functional areas, also provide additional expense reduction opportunities.

i) The Financial Accounting Standards Board, in conjunction with the
   finalization of their implementation guide relating to SFAS #115--
   "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities"-- has
   given registrants an opportunity to assess the classification of their
   existing investment securities portfolio between the held-to-maturity and
   available-for-sale classifications.

   In conjunction with this guidance, as well as in accordance with the
   combined company's existing interest rate risk position, it is anticipated
   that a significant portion of the companies' investment securities
   currently classified as held-to-maturity will be transferred to the
   available-for-sale classification.

   If subsequent sales of such securities occur as part of this overall
   process, such sales would not preclude accounting for the combination as a
   pooling of interests in accordance with either EITF Abstracts, Topic No.
   D-40, or paragraph 8(c) of SFAS #115, which represents an exception to
   paragraph 48(c) of APB Opinion #16.  Based on current market conditions, it
   is not expected that any such sales would result in any material probable
   losses that would require an adjustment to the pro forma financial
   statements.

   Any transfers of securities are anticipated to occur in the fourth quarter
   of 1995 and will be accounted for in accordance with SFAS #115.

j) A liability of $225 million has been recorded in the unaudited pro forma
   condensed combined balance sheet to reflect the Corporation's and First
   Chicago's current estimate of merger and restructuring related charges in
   connection with the attainment by 1997 of annualized pre-tax cost savings
   of approximately $200 million.  This resulted in a $153 million after-tax
   charge to retained earnings in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined
   balance sheet.

   It is anticipated that  substantially all of these charges will be paid
   within a 12-15 month time frame subsequent to the Merger.  This charge has
   been excluded from the pro forma condensed combined income statement due to
   its nonrecurring nature.  The following table provides details of the
   estimated pre-tax charges (in millions).

   Personnel-related costs reflect severance and assistance costs for separated
   employees.  Facilities costs consist of lease termination costs and other
   facilities-related exit costs arising from the closing of duplicate branch
   facilities and from the consolidation of duplicate headquarters and
   operational facilities.  Equipment costs consist of computer equipment and
   software write-offs due to duplication or incompatibility.  The reserve will
   be established in compliance with Emerging Issues Task Force Issue #94-3.

   Substantially all of the personnel-related costs represent employee
   severance costs. An estimate of staff reductions totals 1,700 coming
   primarily from the overlap in the Chicago retail banking business, product
   synergies in the large corporate and middle market businesses, as well as
   from staff and administrative support functions.  The contemplated timeframe
   for completion of these actions is a 12 to 15 month period subsequent to the
   Merger.

   Other merger-related costs include investment banking fees, securities
   registration and filing fees, as well as accounting, legal and other related
   costs. Investment banking fees, estimated at $12 million, represent the
   largest component of such costs.
