Wells Fargo & Company's financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2000

         Wells Fargo & Company reported net income of $1,010 million for the
first quarter of 2000, an increase of 14 percent from $884 million in the
first quarter of 1999. Diluted earnings per common share were $.61 for the
first quarter of 2000, an increase of 15 percent from $.53 in the first
quarter of 1999. Return on average assets (ROA) was 1.88 percent for the
first quarter of 2000, compared with 1.80 percent for the first quarter of
1999. Return on average common equity (ROE) was 18.24 percent for the first
quarter of 2000, compared with 17.33 percent for the first quarter of 1999.

         Diluted cash earnings per share were $.70 for the first quarter of
2000, an increase of 15 percent from $.61 per share for the same period of 1999.
Cash earnings are earnings before the amortization of goodwill and nonqualifying
core deposit intangible. Cash ROA was 2.23 percent and cash ROE was 34.15
percent for the first quarter of 2000, compared with 2.17 percent and 34.38
percent, respectively, for the first quarter of 1999.

         Net interest income on a taxable-equivalent basis was $2,456 million in
the first quarter of 2000, compared with $2,281 million for the same quarter a
year ago. The net interest margin was 5.56 percent for the first quarter of
2000, compared with 5.58 percent for the same period of 1999.

         Noninterest income in the first quarter of 2000 was $1,911 million, an
increase of 11 percent from $1,727 million in the same quarter of 1999. The
increase was primarily due to net venture capital gains of $885 million, offset
by losses of $602 million on the sales of securities that resulted from the
continued restructuring of the securities available for sale portfolio and a
$160 million write-down of auto lease residuals.

         Noninterest expense was $2,479 million in the first quarter of 2000, an
increase of 6 percent from $2,342 million in the same quarter of 1999. The
efficiency ratio improved to 57.0 percent for the first quarter of 2000,
compared with 58.7 percent for the same quarter of 1999. On a cash basis, this
ratio improved to 53.4 percent, compared with 54.9 percent for the same quarter
of 1999.

         The provision for loan losses was $255 million for the first quarter of
2000, compared with $270 million for the same period in 1999. Net charge-offs
totaled $254 million, or .84 percent of average loans (annualized), in the first
quarter of 2000, compared with $273 million, or 1.03 percent of average loans
(annualized), for the first quarter of 1999.

$744 million at March 31, 2000, compared with $669 million at December 31, 1999
and $704 million at March 31, 1999.

The following appears in accordance with the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995:

This discussion of financial results may contain forward-looking statements
about the Company, including descriptions of plans or objectives of its
management for future operations, products or services, and forecasts of its
revenues, earnings or other measures of economic performance. Forward-looking
statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to
historical or current facts. They often include the words "believe," "expect,"
"anticipate," "intend," "plan," "estimate" or words of similar meaning, or
future or conditional verbs such as "will," "would," "should," "could" or "may."

Forward-looking statements, by their nature, are subject to risks and
uncertainties. A number of factors--many of which are beyond the Company's
control--could cause actual conditions, events or results to differ
significantly from those described in the forward-looking statements. The
Company's reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including
the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999, describe some of
these factors, including certain credit, market, operational, liquidity and
interest rate risks associated with the Company's business and operations. Other
factors described in the Company's December 31, 1999 Form 10-K include changes
in business and economic conditions, competition, fiscal and monetary policies,
disintermediation, legislation including the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999, the
combination of the former Norwest Corporation and the former Wells Fargo &
Company, and other mergers and acquisitions.

Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. The Company
does not undertake to update forward-looking statements to reflect circumstances
or events that occur after the date the forward-looking statements are made.

(1)  The efficiency ratio is defined as noninterest expense divided by total
     revenue (net interest income and noninterest income).
(2)  Nonqualifying core deposit intangible (CDI) amortization and average
     balance excluded from these calculations are, with the exception of the
     efficiency and ROA ratios, net of applicable taxes. The pretax amount for
     the average balance of nonqualifying CDI was $1,215 million for the quarter
     ended March 31, 2000. The after-tax amounts for the amortization and
     average balance of nonqualifying CDI were $26 million and $753 million,
     respectively, for the quarter ended March 31, 2000. Goodwill amortization
     and average balance (which are not tax effected) were $113 million and
     $7,932 million, respectively, for the quarter ended March 31, 2000.
(3)  The March 31, 2000 ratios are preliminary.
