NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.  Changes in Accounting Policies

Effective January 1, 1995, the corporation adopted Statement of Financial 
Accounting Standards No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a 
Loan" and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 118, "Accounting by 
Creditors for Impairment of a Loan -- Income Recognition and Disclosures" 
(SFAS 114 and 118).  Accordingly, loan impairment is measured based on the 
present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's 
effective interest rate or, as a practical expedient, at the observable 
market price of the loan or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is 
collateral dependent.  The adoption of these statements did not have a 
material effect on the corporation's financial position or results of 
operations.  See Note 5 for a discussion of impaired loans.

During the second quarter of 1995, the corporation adopted Statement of 
Financial Accounting Standards No. 122, "Accounting for Mortgage 
Servicing Rights, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 65" (SFAS 122), 
effective January 1, 1995. Accordingly, the corporation recognizes as 
separate assets the rights to service mortgage loans for others whether 
the servicing rights are acquired through purchases or loan 
originations. The fair value of capitalized mortgage servicing rights 
is based upon the present value of estimated expected future cash 
flows.  Based upon current fair values, capitalized mortgage servicing 
rights are periodically assessed for impairment, which is recognized in 
the statement of income during the period in which impairment occurs by 
establishing a corresponding valuation allowance.  For purposes of 
performing its impairment evaluation, the corporation stratifies its 
portfolio of capitalized mortgage servicing rights on the basis of 
certain risk characteristics including loan type, note rate, and age of 
the mortgage loan.  The corporation's financial statements for the 
quarter ended March 31, 1995 have been restated to reflect the adoption 
of SFAS 122.  See Note 9 for a discussion of mortgage banking 
activities.


2.  Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows

On March 28, 1995, the corporation issued 63,300 shares of 1995 ESOP 
Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock in the stated amount of $63.3 million 
at a premium of $2.5 million; a corresponding charge of $65.8 million was 
recorded to unearned ESOP shares.  On March 31, 1994, the corporation issued 
40,900 shares of ESOP Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock in the stated 
amount of $40.9 million at a premium of $1.2 million; a corresponding charge 
of $42.1 million was recorded to unearned ESOP shares (see Note 7).

respectively, and $39.1 million and $49.5 million for the three and six
months ended June 30, 1994, respectively, were sold by the corporation due
to significant deterioration in the creditworthiness of the related issuers
or because such securities were called by the issuers prior to maturity.
The sales and calls of investment securities resulted in a $0.1 million gain
for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1995.  Sales and calls of
investment securities resulted in net losses of $0.2 million and $0.7
million for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1994, respectively.

Under the corporation's credit policies and practices, all non-accrual and 
restructured commercial, agricultural, construction, and commercial real estate 
loans meet the definition of impaired loans under SFAS 114 and 118.  Impaired 
loans as defined by SFAS 114 and 118 exclude certain consumer loans, 
residential real estate loans and lease financing classified as non-accrual.  
The allowance for credit losses related to impaired loans at June 30, 1995 and 
December 31, 1994 was $33.0 million and $31.6 million, respectively.  Impaired 
loans of $6.0 million and $4.6 million were not subject to a related allowance 
for credit loss at June 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994, respectively, because 
of the net realizable value of loan collateral, guarantees and other factors. 

The average balances of impaired loans for the six months ended June 30, 1995 
and 1994 were $86.7 million and $137.7 million, respectively. 

Interest income on impaired loans is recognized after all past due and current 
principal payments have been made, and collectibility is no longer doubtful.  
Interest income of $1.1 million and $1.5 million was recognized on impaired 
loans for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1995, respectively, and

On March 29, 1995 the corporation issued 63,300 shares of 1995 ESOP Cumulative 
Convertible Preferred Stock, $1,000 stated value per share ("1995 ESOP 
Preferred Stock").  All shares of the 1995 ESOP Preferred Stock were issued to 
a trustee acting on behalf of the Norwest Corporation Savings-Investment Plan 
and Master Savings Trust (the "Plan").  Dividends are cumulative from the date 
of initial issuance and are payable quarterly at an annual rate of 10.00 
percent.

Each share of ESOP Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock and 1995 ESOP 
Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (collectively, ESOP Preferred Stock) 
released from the unallocated reserve of the Plan is convertible into shares 
of common stock of the corporation based on the stated value of the ESOP 
Preferred Stock and the then current market price of the corporation's common 
stock.  During the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1995, 10,036 and 
20,899 shares of ESOP Preferred Stock, respectively, were converted into 
349,078 and 777,175 shares of common stock of the corporation.  The ESOP 
Preferred Stock is also convertible at the option of the holder at any time, 
unless previously redeemed.  The ESOP Preferred Stock is redeemable at any 
time, in whole or in part, at the option of the corporation at a redemption 
price per share equal to the higher of (a) $1,000 per share plus accrued and 
unpaid dividends and (b) the fair market value, as defined in the Certificates 
of Designations of the ESOP Preferred Stock.  

                                     16
<PAGE>



In accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants 
Statement of Position 93-6, "Employers' Accounting for Employee Stock 
Ownership Plans", the corporation recorded a corresponding charge to unearned 
ESOP shares in connection with the issuance of the ESOP Preferred Stock.  The 
unearned ESOP shares are reduced as shares of the ESOP Preferred Stock are 
committed to be released. 

On July 25, 1995, the corporation's board of directors approved the redemption 
of all of the outstanding shares of the Cumulative Convertible Preferred 
Stock, Series B and related depositary shares effective September 1, 1995.  
Each depositary share, which represents one-quarter of a share of the 
preferred stock, will be redeemed at a price of $52.10 plus accrued dividends.

Preference Stock

At the annual meeting of stockholders held on April 25, 1995, the stockholders 
authorized a new class of capital stock consisting of a total of 4,000,000 
shares of "Preference Stock."  The shares of Preference Stock will have such 
powers, preferences and rights as determined by the corporation's board of 
directors, provided that each share of Preference Stock will not be entitled 
to more than one vote per share.

10. Derivative Activities

The corporation and its subsidiaries, as end-users, utilize various types of 
derivative products (principally interest rate swaps) as part of an overall 
interest rate risk management strategy.  Interest rate swaps generally involve 
the exchange of fixed and floating rate interest payments based on an 
underlying notional amount.  Generic swaps' notional amounts do not change for 
the life of the contract.  A key assumption in the information which follows 
is that rates remain constant at June 30, 1995 levels.  To the extent that 
rates change, both the maturity and variable interest rate information will 
change.  The basis swaps are contracts where the corporation receives an 
amount and pays an amount based on different floating indices.  Option 
contracts allow the holder of the option to purchase or sell a financial 
instrument at a specified price and within a specified period of time from or 
to the seller or "writer" of the option.   As a writer of options, the 
corporation receives a premium at the outset and then bears the risk of an 
unfavorable change in the price of the underlying financial instrument.  

                                    19

For the six months ended June 30, 1995, the end-user derivative activities 
decreased interest income by $2.0 million and increased interest expense by 
$0.2 million, for a total reduction to net interest income of $2.2 million.  
For the same period in 1994, interest income was increased by $6.3 million and 
interest expense was reduced by $15.2 million, for a total benefit to net 
interest income of $21.5 million.

As a result of interest rate fluctuations, off balance-sheet derivatives have 
unrealized appreciation or depreciation in market values as compared with 
their cost.  As these derivatives hedge certain assets and liabilities of the 
corporation, as noted in the table above, there has been offsetting unrealized 
appreciation and depreciation in the assets and liabilities hedged. 

                                     22

The corporation has entered into mandatory and standby forward contracts to 
reduce interest rate risk on certain mortgage loans held for sale and other 
commitments.  The contracts provide for the delivery of securities at a 
specified future date, at a specified price or yield.  At June 30, 1995, the 
corporation had forward contracts totaling $10.4 billion, all of which mature 
within 240 days.  Gains and losses on forward contracts are included in the 
determination of market value of mortgages held for sale.  

During the first six months of 1995, the corporation entered into futures 
contracts of $1.4 billion notional value, as part of its trading account 
portfolio, which are valued at market with any gains or losses recognized 
currently.  

During the first six months of 1995, the corporation entered into a series of 
interest rate floor contracts with an aggregate notional amount of $1.1 
billion.  The corporation utilizes these floors for hedging its portfolio of 
mortgage servicing rights.  The floors provide for the receipt of payments 
when rates are below predetermined interest rate levels.


11. Business Combinations

The corporation regularly explores opportunities for acquisitions of financial 
institutions and related businesses.  Generally, management of the corporation 
does not make a public announcement about an acquisition opportunity until a 
definitive agreement has been signed.

On June 1, 1995, the corporation completed acquisitions of three financial 
institutions.  The corporation acquired United Texas Financial Corporation, a 
$296 million two-bank holding company based in Wichita Falls, Texas, and 
issued 1,515,851 common shares.  The corporation also acquired First American 
National Bank, a $39 million bank located in Chandler, Arizona, through the 
issuance of 192,831 common shares, and First Tule Bancorp, Inc., a $61 million 
bank holding company in Tulia, Texas for cash of $8.25 million.

On May 10, 1995, the corporation acquired New Braunfels, Inc., a $43 million 
bank holding company in New Braunfels, Texas, for $7 million cash.  The 
corporation completed its acquisition on May 4, 1995 of certain subsidiaries 
and net assets of ITT Financial Corporation's Island Finance business for $574 
million cash. On May 1, 1995, the corporation acquired Goldenbanks of 
Colorado, Inc., a $361 million multi-bank holding company based in Golden, 
Colorado, and issued 2,716,629 common shares.  On April 10, 1995 the 
corporation completed its acquisition of The First National Bank of Bay City, 
a $146 million bank in Bay City, Texas, and issued 932,642 common shares.  On 
April 1, 1995, the corporation acquired Babbscha Company, a $53 million bank 
holding company in Fridley, Minnesota, and issued 275,921 common shares.

On March 31, 1995, the corporation completed its acquisition of the $15 
billion servicing portfolio of BarclaysAmerican/Mortgage Corporation for cash.  
On March 13, 1995, the corporation acquired Directors Mortgage Loan 
Corporation in Riverside, California, and issued 10,545,778 common shares.  On 
February 28, 1995, the corporation acquired Parker Bankshares, Inc., a bank 
holding company located in Parker, Colorado, with total assets of $59 million, 
and issued 394,995 common shares.  On February 12, 1995, the corporation 
acquired Independent Bancorp of Arizona, Inc., a $1.6 billion bank holding 
company headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona, for cash of $159.7 million.  On 
January 6, 1995, the corporation acquired American Republic Bancshares, Inc., 
a $222 million bank holding company located in Belen, New Mexico, and issued 
1,206,546 common shares.  On January 5, 1995, the corporation completed its 
acquisition of Ken-Caryl Investment Company, a bank holding company 

                                    23
<PAGE>

headquartered in Littleton, Colorado, with total assets of $29 million, and 
issued 149,774 common shares.

The acquisitions of Goldenbanks of Colorado, Inc., First American National 
Bank (Chandler, Arizona), Parker Bankshares, Inc., and Directors Mortgage Loan 
Corporation were accounted for using the pooling of interests method of 
accounting; however, the financial results of the corporation for periods 
prior to these acquisitions have not been restated because the effect of these 
acquisitions on the corporation's financial statements was not material.  Each 
of the other acquisitions above were accounted for using the purchase method.

At July 31, 1995, the corporation had twelve other pending acquisitions with 
total assets of approximately $4.5 billion and it is anticipated that cash of 
$278.2 million and approximately 25.7 million common shares will be issued 
upon completion of these acquisitions.  Pending acquisitions include AMFED 
Financial, Inc., a $1.6 billion thrift  holding company in Nevada, which will 
become the corporation's 16th community banking state.  The pending 
acquisitions, subject to approval by regulatory agencies, are expected to be 
completed by the end of the first quarter of 1996 and are not individually 
significant to the financial statements of the corporation.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
	 Results of Operations.

Management's discussion and analysis should be read together with the 
financial statements submitted under Item 1 of Part I and with Norwest 
Corporation's 1994 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

EARNINGS PERFORMANCE

The corporation reported net income of $234.3 million for the quarter ended 
June 30, 1995, a 16.0 percent increase over the $202.0 million earned in the 
second quarter of 1994.  Net income per common share was 68 cents, compared 
with 61 cents in the second quarter of 1994, an increase of 11.5 percent.  
Return on realized common equity was 22.6 percent and return on assets was 
1.48 percent for the second quarter of 1995, compared with 21.7 percent and 
1.48 percent, respectively, in the second quarter of 1994.

For the six months ended June 30, 1995, net income was $451.1 million, or 
$1.34 per common share, an increase of 14.9 percent and 11.7 percent, 
respectively, over the $392.5 million or $1.20 per common share earned in the 
first six months of 1994.  Return on realized common equity was 22.4 percent 
and return on assets was 1.47 percent for the first six months of 1995, 
compared with 21.6 percent and 1.47 percent, respectively, for the same period 
a year ago.

The 1995 results discussed above include the impact of the corporation's 
adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 122, "Accounting 
for Mortgage Servicing Rights, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 65" (SFAS 
122) as of the beginning of 1995.  The financial statements for the quarter 
ended March 31, 1995 have been restated to reflect the adoption of SFAS 122.

Banking

The Banking group reported second quarter 1995 earnings of $146.9 million, an 
8.0 percent increase over the second quarter 1994 earnings of $136.2 million. 
For the six months ended June 30, 1995, earnings increased 8.7 percent to 
$287.0 million compared with $264.1 million for the same period in 1994.  The 
increased earnings in the first six months of 1995 reflected an 18.9 percent 
growth in tax-equivalent net interest income to $1,090.4 million, due to a 
16.9 percent increase in average earning assets and a seven basis point 
increase in net interest margin.  The Banking group's provision for credit 
losses for the six months ended June 30, 1995 increased $52.0 million to $59.8 
million from a year earlier as average loans and leases rose $4.0 billion or 
16.5 percent.  Noninterest income rose $16.3 million to $460.0 million for the 
first half of 1995.  The Banking group recorded securities losses of $23.4 
million in the six months ended June 30, 1995, compared with securities losses 
of $5.0 million in the same period last year.  Noninterest expenses of 
$1,061.1 million for the first half of 1995 were $100.1 million higher when 
compared with the first six months of 1994, reflecting increased expenses 
related to acquisitions.


Mortgage Banking

Mortgage banking operations earned $26.4 million in the current quarter 
compared with $11.5 million in the second quarter of 1994.  For the first six 
months of 1995, mortgage banking operations earned $47.5 million compared with 
$22.3 million in the same period of 1994.  Combined gains on sales of 
mortgages and servicing rights in the first half of 1995 amounted to $50.8 
million compared with $99.5 million in the same period last year.  See Note 9 
to the unaudited consolidated financial statements for the second quarter of 
1995 for a detailed analysis of mortgage banking revenues for the quarters and 
six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994.

The growth in mortgage banking earnings reflects the continued growth in 
mortgage loan fundings and the servicing portfolio as well as the 
corporation's adoption of SFAS 122.  Mortgage loan originations amounted to 
$7.7 billion during the quarter as compared with $6.7 billion in the 
comparable period in 1994 and totaled $12.3 billion for the first half of 
1995.  The servicing portfolio increased to $100.5 billion from $59.3 billion 
at June 30, 1994 and $71.5 billion at year-end 1994.  The servicing portfolio, 
which currently carries a weighted average coupon of 7.51 percent, has grown 
in part due to acquisitions of Directors Mortgage Loan Corporation and the 
servicing portfolio of BarclaysAmerican/Mortgage Corporation in the first 
quarter of 1995.  

Net capitalized mortgage servicing rights totaled $841.8 million at June 30, 
1995.  Under SFAS 122 the corporation recognizes as separate assets the rights 
to service mortgage loans for others whether the servicing rights are acquired 
through purchase transactions or through loan originations.  SFAS 122 also 
requires that capitalized mortgage servicing rights be periodically evaluated 
for impairment based on a comparison of the carrying value of the servicing 
rights and their respective fair value.  The fair value has been determined 
utilizing conservative assumptions for discount and prepayment rates.  Total 
impairment of $24.5 million and $48.7 million was recognized for the quarter

                                  26
<PAGE>

and six months ended June 30, 1995.  These amounts consider unrealized gains 
on a series of floors used by the corporation as hedges in its management of 
the value of the mortgage servicing portfolio.


Norwest Financial

Norwest Financial (including Norwest Financial Services, Inc. and Island 
Finance) reported earnings of $61.0 million in the second quarter of 1995, 
compared with $54.3 million in the second quarter of 1994, an increase of 12.2 
percent.  Norwest Financial's net income of $116.6 million for the first six 
months of 1995 was up 9.8 percent from the first six months of 1994.  The 
growth in year-to-date earnings reflected a 14.9 percent increase in Norwest 
Financial's tax-equivalent net interest income as average finance receivables 
grew 22.3 percent from the first half of 1994.  The increase in net interest 
income and average receivables was due in part to the acquisition of ITT 
Financial Corporation's Island Finance business in May 1995.


CONSOLIDATED INCOME STATEMENT ANALYSIS

Net Interest Income

Consolidated tax-equivalent net interest income was $806.6 million in the 
second quarter of 1995, compared with $704.6 million in the second quarter of 
1994, an increase of 14.5 percent.  For the first six months of 1995, tax 
equivalent net interest income increased 14.5 percent from the same period in 
1994 to $1,558.6 million.  Growth in tax-equivalent net interest income over 
the second quarter of 1994 was a result of a 15.0 percent growth in average 
earning assets, partially offset by increases in funding costs and a change in 
funding mix due to increases in long-term debt.  Net interest margin, the 
ratio of annualized tax-equivalent net interest income to average earning 
assets, was 5.66 percent in the second quarter of 1995, compared with 5.65 
percent in the second quarter of 1994.  Net interest margin was 5.58 percent 
for the six months ended June 30, 1995, up slightly from 5.56 percent for the 
first half of 1994.  The net interest margin for the second quarter of 1995 
improved 17 basis points from the first quarter of this year primarily due to 
the Island Finance acquisition, on which higher margins are earned, and an 
improved earning asset mix.  The following table summarizes changes in tax-
equivalent net interest income between the quarters ended June 30 and March 31 
and six months ended June 30.

Provision for Credit Losses

The corporation provided $74.7 million for credit losses in the second quarter 
of 1995, compared with $23.7 million in the same period a year ago.  Net 
credit losses totaled $74.4 million and $33.4 million for the three months 
ended June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively.  As a percentage of average loans 
and leases, net credit losses were 0.84 percent in the second quarter of 1995, 
compared with 0.45 percent in the same period a year ago. 

For the first six months of 1995, the provision for credit losses totaled 
$130.0 million, compared with $60.0 million in the first six months of 1994.  
Net credit losses were $122.4 million, or 0.72 percent of average loans and 
leases, for the six months ended June 30, 1995, compared with $76.6 million, 
or 0.53 percent, for the same period in 1994.

                                   

Non-interest Income

Consolidated non-interest income was $451.3 million in the second quarter of 
1995, an increase of $64.4 million, or 16.6 percent, from the second quarter 
of 1994.  Net investment securities gains of $11.9 million were recorded in 
the second quarter of 1995 compared with net losses of $43.5 million in the 
second quarter of 1994.  For the six months of 1995, non-interest income was 
up $26.9 million, an increase of 3.3 percent over 1994.  The increase was 
primarily due to increased fee income and insurance revenues, partially offset 
by higher levels of investment securities losses and lower venture capital 
gains.

Excluding gains (losses) on investment securities and investment securities 
available for sale and venture capital gains, non-interest income increased 
4.6 percent from the second quarter of 1994 and 6.6 percent from the first six 
months of 1994.

Mortgage banking revenues were $129.1 million for the second quarter of 1995, 
compared with $139.8 million for the same period in 1994.  A decrease in gains 
from the sales of servicing rights was partially offset by increased servicing 
fees from growth in the corporation's servicing portfolio.  For the six months 
ended June 30, 1995, mortgage banking revenues were $258.5 million compared 
with $275.2 million for the first half of 1994.  A decrease in gains on sales 
of mortgages, due to lower market interest rates, was partially offset by 
higher servicing fees and gains on sales of mortgage servicing rights.  Future 
sales of such rights are largely dependent upon portfolio characteristics and 
prevailing market conditions.  See Note 9 to the unaudited consolidated 
financial statements for the second quarter of 1995 for a detailed analysis of 
mortgage banking revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 1995 and 
1994.

Net venture capital gains were $4.8 million for the three months and $26.4 
million for the six months ended June 30, 1995, compared with $15.0 million 
and $35.2 million, respectively, for the same periods in 1994.  Sales of 
venture capital securities generally relate to timing of holdings becoming 
publicly traded and subsequent market conditions, causing venture capital 
gains to be unpredictable in nature.  Net unrealized appreciation in the 
venture capital investment portfolio was $138.8 million at June 30, 1995.


Non-interest Expenses

Consolidated non-interest expenses of $825.9 million increased 8.8 percent 
over the second quarter of 1994.  For the six months ended June 30, 1995, non-
interest expenses were up $58.8 million to $1,586.9 million, an increase of 
3.8 percent over 1994.  The quarterly and year-to-date results reflect 
increased expenses related to acquisitions.




CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET ANALYSIS

At June 30, 1995, earning assets were $59.4 billion, an increase of 11.4 
percent from $53.3 billion at December 31, 1994.  This increase was primarily 
due to a 4.2 percent increase in total investment securities and an 11.4 
percent increase in net loans.  The increase in other assets from December 31, 
1994 was principally due to goodwill and other intangibles from acquisitions, 
purchases of mortgage servicing rights and an increase in receivables 
associated with sales of investment securities.

At June 30, 1995, interest-bearing liabilities totaled $49.4 billion, an 11.8 
percent increase from $44.2 billion at December 31, 1994.  The increase is 
primarily due to increases in interest-bearing deposits and long-term debt.  
See Note 6 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements for the second 
quarter of 1995 for a detailed discussion of long-term debt issued during 
1995.

The increases in consumer and foreign loans from the first quarter of 1995 are 
primarily due to the acquisition of Island Finance.

At June 30, 1995, the allowance for credit losses totaled $854.6 million, or 
2.36 percent of loans and leases outstanding.  Comparable amounts were $790.4 
million, or 2.62 percent, at June 30, 1994, and $789.9 million, or 2.42 
percent, at December 31, 1994.  The ratio of the allowance for credit losses 
to total non-performing assets and 90-day past due loans and leases was 345.7 
percent at June 30, 1995, compared with 293.9 percent at June 30, 1994 and 
361.8 percent at December 31, 1994.

Although it is impossible for any lender to predict future credit losses with 
complete accuracy, management monitors the allowance for credit losses with 
the intent to provide for all losses that can reasonably be anticipated based 
on current conditions.  The corporation maintains the allowance for credit 
losses as a general allowance available to cover future credit losses within 
the entire loan and lease portfolio and other credit-related risks.  However, 
management has prepared an allocation of the allowance based on its views of 
risk characteristics of the portfolio.  This allocation of the allowance for 
credit losses does not represent the total amount available for actual future 
credit losses in any single category nor does it prohibit future credit losses 
from being absorbed by portions of the allowance allocated to other categories 
or by the unallocated portion.

The allocation of the allowance for credit losses to major categories of loans 
at June 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994 was:

                                   June 30,         December 31,
                                       1995                 1994

Non-performing assets and 90-day past due loans and leases totaled $247.3 
million, or 0.37 percent of total assets, at June 30, 1995, compared with 
$268.9 million, or 0.48 percent, at June 30, 1994, and $218.3 million, or 0.37 
percent, at December 31, 1994.  The decrease from June 30, 1994, primarily 
reflects a $16.0 million decrease in real estate non-accrual loans and a $23.0 
million decrease in other real estate owned, partially offset by a $24.1 
million increase in 90-day past due loans and leases.  The increase from 
December 31, 1994 included a $34.0 million increase in 90-day past due loans 
and leases, partially offset by an $8.7 million decrease in real estate non-
accrual loans.

The corporation manages exposure to credit risk through loan portfolio 
diversification by customer, product, industry and geography.  As a result, 
there is no undue concentration in any single sector. 

The corporation's Banking group operates in 15 states, largely in the Midwest, 
Southwest and Rocky Mountain regions of the country.  In general, the economy 
in these regions continues to remain strong, though growth is slowing as a 
result of prior year interest rate increases.  Distribution of average loans 
by region during the first half of 1995 was approximately 57 percent in the 
North Central Midwest, 13 percent in the South Central Midwest and 30 percent 
in the Rocky Mountain/Southwest region.  

Norwest Card Services, Norwest Mortgage and Norwest Financial operate on a 
nationwide basis.  With respect to credit card receivables, approximately 45 
percent of the portfolio is within the 15-state Norwest banking region.  
Approximately 56 percent of the portfolio is accounted for by the states of 
Massachusetts, Minnesota, Iowa, New York, Connecticut, Colorado, California, 
Illinois, Nebraska and Texas.  No one state accounts for more than 10 percent 
of the total credit card portfolio.

Mortgage banking operates in all 50 states, representing the largest retail 
mortgage network in the country.  Norwest Financial engages in consumer 
finance activities in 46 states, all 10 Canadian provinces, Puerto Rico, and 
elsewhere in the Caribbean and Central America.  The general strength of the 
consumer sector of the national economy and the geographical diversification 
of Mortgage banking and Norwest Financial help to mitigate the credit risk in 
their loan portfolios.

Services, Inc.  The corporation's senior debt is currently rated AA+ by

Capital

The corporation's Tier 1 capital ratio was 8.04 percent at June 30, 1995, and 
its total capital to risk-based assets ratio was 10.18 percent, compared with 
9.89 percent and 12.23 percent, respectively, at December 31, 1994.  The 
corporation's leverage ratio was 5.85 percent at June 30, 1995, compared with 
6.94 percent at December 31, 1994.  These ratios compare favorably to the 
regulatory minimums of 4.0 percent for Tier 1, 8.0 percent for total capital 
to risk-based assets, and 3.0 percent for leverage ratio.  The decrease in the 
capital ratios from year-end 1994 reflects intangibles arising from 
acquisitions completed in the first half of 1995, principally Island Finance.

On July 25, 1995, the corporation's board of directors approved the redemption 
of all of the outstanding shares of the Cumulative Convertible Preferred 
Stock, Series B, and related depositary shares effective September 1, 1995.  
Each depositary share, which represents one-quarter of a share of the 
preferred stock, may be converted into approximately 2.74 shares of common 
stock up until the call date; otherwise the depositary shares will be redeemed 
for $52.10 plus accrued dividends.

The corporation's dividend payout was 30.9 percent for the second quarter of 
1995 compared with 30.3 percent for the second quarter of 1994.  The board of 
directors also approved an increase in the corporation's quarterly common 
stock dividend to 24 cents per share from 21 cents.  The dividend is payable 
on September 1, 1995, to common stockholders of record on August 4, 1995.
