                                                                    For release:

                       BANKAMERICA SECOND QUARTER EARNINGS

      SAN  FRANCISCO,  July 16,  1997 --  BankAmerica  Corporation  (BAC)  today
reported  second-quarter 1997 fully-diluted earnings per share and net income of
$1.07 and $799  million,  respectively,  up 16 percent from $0.92 and 11 percent
from $723 million for the same period a year ago.  The return on average  common
equity for the second  quarter of 1997 was 16.73  percent,  an  increase  of 131
basis  points from the same period a year ago and 23 basis points from the first
quarter of 1997.

      BAC's  fully-diluted  earnings  per share for the first six months of 1997
were $2.09,  an  increase  of 15 percent  from $1.81 for the first six months of
1996.  Net  income  for the first  six  months of 1997 was  $1,579  million,  an
increase of 9 percent from $1,443 million for the first six months of 1996.

      Cash earnings per share for the second  quarter of 1997 were $1.16,  up 15
percent from $1.01 for the second  quarter of 1996.  Cash earnings per share for
the first six months of 1997 were $2.28,  up 14 percent from $2.00 for the first
six months of 1996.

      The per share  results  include the effects of a  two-for-one  stock split
which was effective June 2, 1997.

      "We again  demonstrated  strong financial  results in the second quarter,"
David A. Coulter,  Chairman and Chief Executive Officer,  said. "I am especially
pleased with the continued  progress we have made on return on equity and on the
strategic  management of capital,  an area in which we were particularly  active
during the second quarter."

      Coulter cited the following examples:
                         
  o  The June 9, 1997  announcement  of an agreement  to acquire the  investment
     banking firm, Robertson, Stephens & Company Group, L.L.C.;

  o  The  agreement  also  announced  on June 9 to  sell  the  consumer  finance
     subsidiary Security Pacific Financial Services Inc.;

  o  The agreement to sell the branch system in Hawaii;

  o  The completion of the sale of 68 Texas branches;

  o  The  sale  of  $1.8  billion  of  residential   first   mortgages  and  the
     announcement of plans to securitize and sell $675 million of mortgages;

  o  The securitization of $750 million of credit card receivables in the second
     quarter of 1997; and

  o  The announcement of the redemption of BAC's Series L preferred stock.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS:

  o  Net interest  income was up $35 million from the second quarter of 1996.
     BAC's net interest margin for the second quarter of 1997 was 4.11 percent,
     down 16 basis points from the  comparable  period a year ago. Excluding the
     effects of the credit card securitizations that have taken place since
     mid-1996,  net interest income for the second  quarter of 1997 would have
     increased $75 million from the second quarter of 1996 and the net interest
     margin would have been 4.15 percent.

  o  Noninterest  income increased $122 million,  or 9 percent,  from the second
     quarter of 1996.  Excluding the effect of an $82 million gain from the sale
     of a Hong Kong consumer and commercial finance subsidiary during the second
     quarter of 1996,  noninterest income would have increased $204 million,  or
     16  percent,  from the second  quarter  of 1996.  The  second-quarter  1997
     amounts included growth in other fees and  commissions  of $84  million,  
     primarily  reflecting  higher loan servicing  fees. In addition,  BAC 
     experienced a record quarter for trading income, which increased 
     $40 million, or 22 percent, from the second quarter of 1996. Furthermore, 
     net gain on sales of loans,  primarily  residential  first  mortgages, 
     increased $27 million from the  comparable  quarter last  year  reflecting
     increased  balance  sheet  management  activities.  These increases  were  
     partially  offset by a decrease  of $29 million in private equity 
     investment activity income.

  o  Noninterest expense was $2,047 million, up $50 million from the same period
     last  year,  and  included  $36  million  of  payments  on trust  preferred
     securities.  Without these  payments,  noninterest  expense would have been
     $2,011 million,  an increase of $14 million,  or less than 1 percent,  from
     the second quarter of 1996.

  o  The provision  for credit losses was $250 million,  up $30 million from the
     previous quarter, but unchanged from the second quarter of 1996. Net credit
     losses were $224  million for the second  quarter of 1997, a decline of 
     $22 million from the second  quarter of 1996, but up $20 million from the 
     first quarter of 1997.

  o  Nonaccrual  assets were $861  million at June 30,  1997, a decrease of 
     $169 million, or 16 percent, from their March 31, 1997 level.

  o  In connection  with BAC's ongoing  efforts to  effectively  manage capital,
     BAC  repurchased  8.2 million shares of its common stock during the second
     quarter of 1997 at an average per-share price of $58.02, which reduced
     stockholders' equity by $475 million.  These shares were  repurchased  on
     the open market over 51 trading  days and represented approximately 6
     percent of the total volume of BAC common stock traded on those days.
     Remaining buyback authority for common  stock under the current  repurchase
     program  totaled $2.8 billion at June 30, 1997.
