                 BANKAMERICA FIRST QUARTER EARNINGS

    SAN  FRANCISCO,  April  16,  1997 --  BankAmerica  Corporation  (BAC)  today
reported  first-quarter 1997 earnings per share and net income of $2.05 and 
$780 million, respectively, up from $1.79 and $720 million for the same period 
a year ago. The return on average common equity for the first quarter of 1997 
was 16.50 percent, an increase of 131 basis points from the same period a 
year ago.

    "We are  pleased  with  our  first-quarter  results,  particularly with the
improvement in the return on average common equity," David A. Coulter, Chairman
and Chief Executive  Officer,  said. "We continue to focus on the fundamentals,
including effective operating leverage, prudent risk management, and 
disciplined capital  management."  Coulter cited the following  first-quarter  
activities as examples of continuing  progress in the  corporation's  efforts
toward strategic management of capital:

      o The establishment of a relationship with D.E. Shaw which
        significantly increases BAC's ability to offer equity-related
        products to its customers;

      o The announcement of the intention to sell its consumer finance
        business, Security Pacific Financial Services;

      o The sale of $3.3 billion of residential first mortgages;


                                    - more -

<PAGE>

      o The extension of the stock repurchase program authorizing the repurchase
        of an  additional  $3 billion of common stock and the  redemption  of an
        additional $1 billion of preferred stock by the end of 1998;

      o The redemption of Series H and Series K preferred stock; and

      o A 13 percent increase in the quarterly dividend on common stock.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS:

      o Net interest  income was up $28 million from the first  quarter of 1996.
        BAC's  net  interest  margin  for the  first  quarter  of 1997  was 
        4.16 percent, down 20 basis points from the comparable period a year
        ago, but up 3 basis points from the previous  quarter.  Excluding  the 
        effects of the credit  card  securitizations  during the second  half 
        of 1996,  net interest income for the first quarter of 1997 would have 
        increased $63 million from the first quarter of 1996 and the net 
        interest margin would  have been 4.20 percent.

      o Noninterest income increased $111 million, or 9 percent,  from the first
        quarter of 1996. Excluding  the effect of a $50  million  pre-tax  gain
        associated  with the sale of certain  components of BAC's  Institutional
        Trust and Securities Services business during the first quarter of 1996,
        noninterest  income would have  increased  $161 million,  or 13 percent,
        from the first quarter of 1996. The first-quarter  1997 amounts included
        growth in other fees and  commissions  of $55 million,  primarily due to
        higher loan  servicing  fees.  In addition,  the net gain on  sales of
        loans,  primarily  residential  first  mortgages,   rose  $33  million.
        Furthermore, there were increases of $23 million in both trading income
        and income from equity investments in affiliates and joint ventures from
        the comparable quarter last year.

      o Noninterest  expense was $2,033  million,  up $20 million from the first
        quarter  of  1996,   primarily  due  to  payments  on  trust   preferred
        securities.  Without these payments, noninterest expense would have been
        $1,998  million,  a decrease  of $15 million  from the first  quarter of
        1996.
                             - Page 2 -

     o  The provision  for credit  losses was $220 million,  up $40 million from
        the first quarter of 1996, but unchanged from the previous quarter. Net
        credit losses were $204 million for the first quarter of 1997, a decline
        of $35 million, or 15 percent, from the first quarter of 1996.

      o Nonaccrual  assets were $1,030  million at March 31, 1997, a decrease of
        $88 million, or 8 percent, from their December 31, 1996 level.

      o In connection with BAC's ongoing efforts to effectively  manage capital,
        BAC  repurchased 4.3 million shares of its common stock during the first
        quarter of 1997 at an average per-share price of $110.48,  which reduced
        stockholders'  equity by $475 million.  These shares were repurchased on
        the open market over 47 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 $3.3 billion at March 31, 1997.

      o On January 15,  1997,  BAC  redeemed  all  outstanding  shares of its 
        9% Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series H, which reduced stockholders' 
        equity by $281  million. In addition, on February 15, 1997, BAC 
        redeemed all outstanding shares of its 8 3/8% Cumulative Preferred 
        Stock, Series K, which reduced stockholders' equity by $365 million.

/a/During the fourth quarter of 1996, BAC changed the past due period by which
   residential real estate loans and consumer loans that are collateralized 
   by junior  mortgages on residential  real estate are considered  nonaccrual.
   The maximum  period that loans can be past due before being  placed on
   nonaccrual status  was  reduced  from 180 days to 90 days. As a result of 
   this  change, nonaccrual  loans  increased by $144 million, while loans 
   past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest decreased by the same 
   amount.
/b/Includes consumer loans of $189 million,  $187 million,  and $336 million at
   March 31, 1997, December 31, 1996, and March 31, 1996, respectively.
