                     BANKAMERICA FIRST QUARTER EARNINGS
  
            SAN FRANCISCO, April 19, 1995 -- BankAmerica Corporation 
 (BAC) today reported first-quarter 1995 earnings per share of $1.46, an 
 increase of 15 percent from $1.27 for the same period a year ago.  Net 
 income for the first quarter of 1995 was $611 million, up 19 percent from 
 the first quarter of 1994.
  
           "We're pleased that first-quarter results show a continuation 
  of the earnings momentum we achieved in 1994 and that our return on common
  equity increased over last year,"  Richard M. Rosenberg, Chairman and
  Chief Executive Officer said. "Reflecting continued strength in a number
  of our diverse operations and geographic locations, average loans
  increased $2.5 billion from the previous quarter."
  
  FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS:
  --------------------

  o  Net interest income was up $252 million from the amount reported for 
     the first quarter of 1994 reflecting increases in loans, including the
     effects of mergers and acquisitions,  and an improvement in the net
     interest margin. BAC s net interest margin for the first quarter of 
     1995 was 4.55 percent, up slightly from the fourth quarter of 1994, 
     and up 10 basis points from the same period a year ago;
  
  o  Noninterest income increased $90 million from the amount reported in 
     the same period last year.  Total fees and commissions for the first 
     quarter of 1995 increased $61 million from the comparable period in 
     1994 primarily due to BAC's expanded midwestern corporate banking 
     business. In addition, venture capital and trading-related income 
     increased $56 million and $55 million, respectively;



                                   - more -

<PAGE>
  o  Noninterest expense increased $20 million from the fourth quarter of
     1994 primarily due to an increase in personnel expense, reflecting
     higher employee benefits and incentive compensation.  Noninterest
     expense for the first quarter of 1995 increased $205 million from
     the first quarter of 1994 primarily due to expanded operations from
     mergers and acquisitions;
             
  o  The return on average common equity for the first quarter was 
     13.86 percent, an increase of 86 basis points from the same period in
     1994;
        
  o  Nonaccrual assets declined 7 percent from their December 31, 1994
     level, resulting in a nonperforming assets ratio (total nonaccrual
     assets and other real estate owned/total assets) of 1.12 percent at
     March 31, 1995;
  
  o  In connection with its previously announced stock repurchase
     program, BAC repurchased 5.6 million shares of its common stock at
     an average per-share price of $47.33 during the first quarter of
     1995.  These shares were repurchased on the open market over 28 days
     and represented approximately 13 percent of the total volume of BAC
     common stock traded on those days.
