Metropolitan Financial Corporation
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Statements
Metropolitan Financial Corporation ("the Company") incurred a net loss of
$148.5 million for the fourth quarter and a net loss of $117.5 million for the
year ended December 31, 1994. Included in the fourth quarter results were
after-tax net losses of $73.2 million related to securities available for sale
and after-tax credit and merger related expenses of $86.8 million recorded in
connection with the Company's merger with First Bank System, Inc. ("FBS"). As
previously announced, included in the third quarter results were net after-tax
charges of $9.5 million related to the tentative settlement of two class-action
lawsuits and expenses related to the planned merger. Excluding these
nonrecurring items, net earnings for the fourth quarter and the year were $11.5
million and $52.5 million, respectively.
In December 1994, the Company's Board of Directors approved a plan to sell
investment securities to align the interest rate risk profile of the Company's
investment portfolio with the parameters of the FBS asset/liability management
policies.
Also, in December 1994, the Board approved a merger and integration plan
implemented in connection with the Company's merger with FBS. The Merger
related charges were recorded to provide for certain costs and expenses relating
to the planned merger, and to reflect the plans of FBS with respect to the
conduct of the Company's business, including the anticipated timing of and
strategies for the disposition of problem assets. The merger and integration
charges totaled $121.4 million including severance and related charges of $56.5
million, writedowns of premises and equipment of $19.6 million and other charges
for integration and system conversions of $46.5 million.
On July 21, 1994, Metropolitan Financial Corporation and First Bank System
(NYSE: FBS) signed a definitive agreement for FBS to acquire Metropolitan
Financial Corporation. The transaction, which received regulatory approvals
from the Federal Reserve Board and the Office of Thrift Supervision in December
of 1994, will close on January 24, 1995.
