Richard M. Rosenberg David A. Coulter
Chairman of the Board Chief Executive Officer
We are pleased to report that the financial position of BankAmerica Corporation
is strong and solid. 1995 was a very successful year for the corporation,
capping a six-year period of growth. We are proud of having achieved our two
primary financial goals during the year: increasing earnings per share and
increasing return on common equity. Per-share earnings increased 21 percent to a
record $6.49 from the previous year on net income of $2.664 billion - also a
record. Return on average common equity increased 138 basis points,

to 14.58 percent. From a perspective of increasing shareholder value, further
increasing both of these measures of performance is a primary financial goal for
1996.
We attribute our 1995 results to three factors: excellent, dedicated performance
by BankAmerica employees, continuing support from our customers, and the
strategic decisions we have made and put in place in recent years. We believe
that our strategic plans, effectively implemented, will result in increasing the
value of our shareholders' investment by allowing us to address three key areas:
revenue generation, expense control, and capital allocation.
Revenue Generation
A large part of our success in 1995 was due to the steps we have taken
throughout the 1990s to build a diversified franchise that has given us earnings
momentum and still provides considerable potential for growth.
In the retail markets, we grew from our California and Washington operations at
the end of the last decade, to our present position of full-service banks in ten
western states. The merger with Security Pacific Corporation in 1992 contributed
to that growth and also added important new businesses such as personal trust,
proprietary mutual funds, consumer financial operations, a nationwide commercial
finance company, and a consumer banking presence in some of the fastest growing
economies in Asia.
We have invested in changing our retail delivery structure to reflect the
changes in our customers' expectations and the practical realities of today's
marketplace. We know, for example, that today's consumers increasingly demand
broader choices of when, where, and how they access their banking services.
Therefore, we have enhanced our delivery systems, particularly the lower cost
alternative systems such as ATMs, in-store branches, and interactive banking
technologies, including telephone banking. Together with other financial
institutions, we purchased an interest in the company that offers the popular
2 / BankAmerica Corporation 1995
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Managing Your Money(R) software. We have established an interactive presence on
the Internet's World Wide Web and opened an electronic branch on America Online.
The rapid development of consumer banking technology has given our customers an
unprecedented range of choices for accessing banking services. We, frankly,
don't yet know what the ideal long-term model will be for maximizing customer
service and profitability at BankAmerica. But the scale of our business allows
us to experiment broadly and refine our system as customer usage patterns begin
to emerge. In the consumer banking market of the future, we are committing to a
world-class delivery structure.
We have also expanded the geographical reach of our consumer banking operations,
enhancing our national mortgage origination and servicing capabilities with the
acquisition of Arbor National Holdings, Inc. and establishing a credit card
operation in Taiwan.
The 1994 acquisition of Continental Bank Corporation increased the scale and
scope of our wholesale banking activities, adding significantly to our middle-
market presence in the Midwest and expanding our relationships with large
corporations throughout the United States. In fact, a recent survey of Fortune
1,000 companies conducted by Goldman Sachs ranked BankAmerica the nation's
leading relationship bank, with a 40 percent market share of primary
relationships.
To enhance relationships with our corporate and commercial customers, we
intensified our investment in relationship-building businesses such as capital
raising and capital markets. We have also strengthened our presence in selected
foreign markets such as Vietnam, Mexico, and China, where we opened our fourth
office.
This growth in both retail and wholesale banking has enabled us to diversify our
revenue streams, both geographically and by product lines, thereby reducing our
exposure to regional and particular industry sector economic downturns. We
believe that it is especially noteworthy that the corporation recorded gains in
net income throughout the 1990s, despite the fact that, during that time,
California endured one of the worst recessions in its history.

BankAmerica Corporation 1995 / 3
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"BankAmerica Corporation has experienced tremendous growth during the 1990s, in
size, geographic scope, and the diversity of its products and business lines.
I truly believe that we have built one of the best franchises in banking
today."
-- Richard M. Rosenberg
We have also achieved our goal of establishing and maintaining leadership in our
industry for corporate responsibility and community reinvestment, with a broad
range of programs that have increased both our revenue and our stature in the
communities where we do business. Since initiating the Neighborhood Advantage(R)
program in 1990, we have made more than $10 billion in low-income home loans.
And our Community Development Bank loaned approximately $550 million for low-
cost housing and small business development in 1995.
We believe that the franchise we have established during the course of this
decade provides a solid base from which to continue building an organization
that can succeed in a changing environment.
Expense Control
While we have significant potential to improve profitability by selectively
growing our existing operations, we also place equal emphasis on controlling
noninterest expense. We have succeeded in increasing our operating efficiency,
as measured by the expense to revenue ratio, which has improved steadily over
the last six quarters.
To a large extent, this has been due to the efforts of thousands of employees
and their managers working in our processing centers both in the United States
and overseas. BankAmerica is a high volume processor of loans, checks and other
payments. As we have expanded geographically, we have also taken steps to
consolidate some of these processing operations and made substantial investments
in advanced technology, thereby enhancing the efficiency of the businesses they
support. For example, we now process indirect auto loans through dedicated
dealer centers in Nevada and Washington. Consumer and residential loans in our
Southwestern and Northwestern banking subsidiaries are serviced out of regional
centers in Arizona and Oregon, and some phases of credit card processing are
being outsourced to reduce expenses and improve flexibility.
Capital Allocation
We believe that capital must be invested in ways that generate appropriate
returns for the risks involved. That means increasing investments in those
businesses that earn more than their cost of capital, decreasing the investment
in businesses that do not meet that test, and returning excess capital to
shareholders by repurchasing common stock, redeeming preferred stock, and paying
dividends.
During 1995, we sold the Institutional Trust and Securities Services business at
an attractive price, which freed up additional risk capital. We also divested
some traditional bank branches in areas where the present and potential customer
base was too small to justify our investment.
Under a program authorized by our Board of Directors early in the year, we
repurchased 16.6 million shares of our common stock for $894 million, redeemed
approximately $200 million of preferred stock, and converted $248 million of
preferred stock into 5.4 million shares of common stock. In February 1996, The
Board approved the redemption of approximately $200 million more of preferred
stock.
At the same time, the Board declared a quarterly common stock dividend of $0.54
per share - a 17 percent increase and the highest level ever.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"We remain focused on managing our businesses in ways that create value for our
shareholders. That means continuing to find ways to broaden the relationships
we have with our customers, to allocate our resources prudently, to reduce
costs, and to return excess capital to our shareholders."
-- David A. Coulter
The Importance of Employees
None of the programs and strategies outlined in this letter could succeed
without the efforts of BankAmerica's 95,000 employees around the world. These
are the people who have brought the company to its present position in the
industry and who operate the franchise day in and day out. They have shown
themselves willing and able to undertake a variety of challenges, from building
market share, to reducing expenses, to expanding or consolidating their
operations. Their experience, integrity, and pride in the company and in the
jobs they do produce results for our shareholders every day.
In a relationship business such as ours, teamwork across disciplines and
business lines is an important ingredient for success. We actively encourage and
facilitate teamwork at every level of the corporation by seeking ways to
eliminate artificial barriers and rewarding people who achieve excellence
through teamwork.
Change and Opportunity
We face a future that promises continuing change and challenge for the financial
services industry. Competition continues to increase, particularly from
nonbanks, which sometimes play by different rules than those that we must
follow. Congress continues to debate these very rules, and the outcome of their
deliberations is difficult to predict. Technology alters the nature of both our
competition and our customers' expectations. Consolidations keep the competitive
landscape in flux.
Change also brings opportunity, particularly for institutions that have the
flexibility to adapt and the will to stay ahead of the curve. We believe that we
have the franchise, the customer base, the capital, the earnings momentum, and
the talent - in short, the scale and scope we need - to succeed in this
challenging environment.
We also have an extremely capable and hard-working Board of Directors whose
guidance and leadership during this recent period of growth and change has been
invaluable. One of our longest serving Directors, Philip M. Hawley, is retiring
from the Board this year. We would like to acknowledge and thank him for his
many years of dedicated service.

Private Banking and
Investment Services
BankAmerica Corporation derives its income from five primary business sectors,
ranked, for the purpose of the discussion in the following 10 pages, in order of
their contribution to net income in 1995. Although each sector provides discrete
lines of products and services and pursues strategic goals aligned to the needs
and potentials of its own customer base, there is synergy among the sectors. The
ability to offer customers access to a comprehensive range of financial services
by managing relationships across sector boundaries is a competitive advantage
for BankAmerica. At the same time, maintaining operating results and balance
sheets for discrete business sectors enables management to focus its allocation
of capital to those businesses that it believes can best increase returns for
shareholders.

Consumer Banking provides a full array of deposit and loan products to
individuals and small businesses through branches, ATMs, phones, and other
delivery channels throughout ten western states and through in-store ATMs in the
Chicago metropolitan area. It also provides credit card, home mortgage,
manufactured housing financing, and consumer finance products throughout the
United States, and a range of consumer banking products and services in Hong
Kong, India, Taiwan, Singapore, and the Philippines.

BankAmerica Corporation 1995 / 7
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BankAmerica's consumer banking operations serve the largest customer base of any
bank in the western United States - nearly 11 million households in 1995. In the
ten western states in which we operate, we offer the largest full-service branch
network - nearly 2,000 branches, approximately 200 of them in supermarkets and
other stores. Our proprietary network of more than 6,600 ATMs handles nearly 2
million transactions per day.
The trend away from traditional branches toward alternative delivery systems
continues to increase. We now conduct two telephone and ATM transactions for
every traditional teller transaction. To keep pace with our customers' changing
expectations, we have implemented a variety of options, including in-store
banking facilities and interactive banking services.
In-store banking remains a high growth area and a high priority because of its
popularity with customers and its cost-effectiveness. We now have 183 full-
service in-store branches operating with extended hours in nine states, in
addition to 323 in-store ATM or sales kiosks and more than 400 ATM-only
installations. The addition of in-store ATMs in Washington state has expanded
the reach of our Seattle-First National Bank operation still further. And we are
now able to offer consumers access to the bank through more than 170 ATMs in the
Chicago area.
Cost-effectiveness and customer service are also the reasons behind our
continuing investment in interactive banking: the delivery of products and
services remotely through customer-owned devices. Our Interactive Banking Group
develops and manages systems such as a new telephone bill-paying service,
personal computer banking, "smart card" technology, and the delivery of services
through BankAmerica's Internet site on the World Wide Web:
[http://www.bankamerica.com]. Bank of America has become the first bank to open
a site on America Online through which customers will be able to access their
accounts and initiate loan applications.
Interactive banking enables us to sell more products to existing customers and
also to expand our geographic base. For example, we are now able to offer home
mortgage products in nearly every state through an efficient combination of
offices, regionalized processing centers, and telephone- and computer-based
delivery.
Electronic tools also help to give us a competitive edge in selling consumer
loans. In some of our markets, computerized credit scoring now enables us to
give customers approval for consumer loans at the time they make their
applications. We are also using technology to improve our understanding of
customer profitability and to anticipate purchasing behaviors through our
"corporate data store," one of the largest information warehouses in the
financial services industry.
We have increased both the number and use of credit card accounts, both within
our traditional western markets and in other parts of the United States, as the
result of marketing initiatives such as co-branding, photocard, balance
consolidation premiums, and competitive pricing.

BankAmerica is California's leading small business lender in terms of loan
outstandings, and the fifth-largest in the nation. To encourage small business
clients to broaden their relationships with us, we recently began to offer
relationship pricing on term loans and lines of credit, as well as discounts on
checking service charges.
Our retail operations in Asia give us access to consumers in some of the world's
fastest growing economies. These operations also provide opportunities to
enhance service to millions of Asian-Americans and recent emigres who live in
the western United States and maintain close ties to Asia. We are in the process
now of upgrading and standardizing our processing systems in Asia, introducing
credit cards, and bringing additional new products to market.
The challenge for the future in all our consumer markets is to determine the mix
of delivery systems that both meets our customers' needs and offers us the best
opportunities for profitability.

As business becomes increasingly globalized, the ability to analyze a client's
needs and provide a wide range of products and services to meet those needs
becomes increasingly important. BankAmerica leverages its global network for its
clients through coordinated teams of relationship, product, industry, and
regional bankers who utilize their knowledge and experience to study a client's
business issues and opportunities and deliver tailored solutions.
We are a client-focused organization, managing relationships through teams that
cross geographic, product, and organizational lines, driven by our clients'
needs. We have recently launched a new international network initiative to
further strengthen client relationships where we believe that both we and our
clients can benefit.
Capital raising is growing in importance to our clients, as the credit and
securities markets continue to converge across both markets and products. In
1995, our large client base, including both issuers and investors, enabled us to
achieve leadership in capital raising in a number of areas, including the
following:
. We were the number one provider of commercial and industrial loans in the
United States,
. We were one of the top two providers of agented/co-agented syndicated loans,
. We had the largest number of commercial paper programs among bank-affiliated
dealers, and
. We were number one in private placements of corporate debt by banks.
In recognition of our leadership, we were named "Loan House of the Year" by the
International Financial Review in Asia, "Best Syndicated Loan House" in Asia by
Asia Risk Manager, top arranger of U.S. commercial paper for Latin America by
LatinFinance Magazine, and top agent and agent/co-agent in syndicated lending
in Latin America by Gold Sheets.
We have continued to invest in BA Securities, Inc., through which we
are able to underwrite and manage corporate debt issues for our clients.
We are also a major player in capital markets, trading in more than 125
currencies with approximately 4,000 counterparties worldwide, maintaining an
average daily foreign exchange volume of about $60 billion. In 1995 we were the
number one foreign exchange bank in terms of top-tier relationships and the
number one derivatives house in terms of both market penetration and lead
relationships.
We have a world-class leasing operation in BA Leasing & Capital
Corporation. We have also substantially expanded our presence in the private
global equity business with increased focus on Latin America, Asia, and Eastern
Europe. We continue to have a strong commitment and market presence in the
global payments business.
In the United States, BankAmerica ranked first in the nation in terms of key
corporate banking relationships in 1995. With a customer franchise that includes
most of the 500 largest U.S. corporations, we have the opportunity to
participate in most major financial transactions and the ability to establish
and build lasting and mutually beneficial relationships with clients.

Our positioning in major markets in Europe, Asia, Latin America, and the Middle
East, makes us one of a very few U.S. banking companies with the capability of
serving our clients' needs virtually anywhere in the world. Our most rapidly
growing offshore market is the Asia-Pacific region, including the Far East and
Latin America. This region is a natural market for BankAmerica with its west
coast headquarters and Pacific Basin focus.
Asia, in particular, continues to be an attractive market for us, one in which
we have been investing heavily, particularly in the countries whose financial
markets are undergoing rapid expansion.
We have also expanded in Latin America, where we have a physical presence in the
six countries whose economies comprise 90 percent of the region's GDP. In
response to opportunities arising out of NAFTA, we opened commercial banking and
leasing subsidiaries in Mexico during 1995.
Our operations in Europe and the Middle East remain profitable and vital to the
global network we offer to our clients.

Our focus in the commercial real estate business is to create and expand close
relationships with a select list of clients. We know from more than 90 years'
experience with real estate companies that dependable credit underwriting is key
in their choice of relationship banks and in their purchase of other non-credit
services. That dependability is the foundation of our client approach in this
business.
At the same time, we are actively moving beyond our traditional dependency on
credit in this sector, to provide clients with a broader range of BankAmerica's
products and services and diversify the revenue stream. As developers seek
alternatives to traditional credit, we are finding opportunities to provide them
with capital raising services including private placements and syndications, and
capital markets activities such as risk management.
We are also an important provider of non-credit services such as deposits, cash
management and related services, and loan administration services to our clients
in this sector.
In all of these activities, we have found that we can succeed in this business
by striving toward seamless service delivery.
Real estate project finance teams structure individualized packages of products
and services for clients whose needs may include various types of credit; risk
management; deposit, cash management and related services; syndications; private
placements; or loan administration services. BankAmerica's commercial mortgage
specialists can usually close approved loans within 60 days of the receipt of
completed applications.
In the last year, we have expanded our client base significantly in our
traditional markets in the West, as well as in other parts of the country.
In California, the construction lending business continued to be affected by low
demand for new construction. But we have been able to emphasize term lending on
existing properties as well as working capital financing for our national
clients.
Another demonstration of our recent progress in client relationships was the
increase in accounts in which we acted as an agent bank. We hope to increase
real estate loan syndication volumes by advancing more of our client
relationships into primary or agent bank status, which tend to be more
profitable for us.
Our challenge now is to continue to keep pace with the changing markets in which
our clients operate. Significantly more funding options are now available to our
clients than have been available in the past, and we expect this trend to
continue. The capital markets will continue to be an important source of funds
for many sectors of the business, and we will continue

Middle-Market Banking provides a full range of financial products and services
to companies with annual revenues between $5 million and $250 million throughout
the West and in the Midwest. We include in this sector financial results from a
national commercial finance company that serves mid-sized and large companies
with specialized needs throughout the United States and in Canada.

Middle-market banking is an excellent stable business for BankAmerica. We are
able to operate at relatively low cost, provide credit, deposit, and other
services to a broad range of businesses with a widely differing range of needs,
and change the nature of our relationships with clients as their businesses grow
and their needs change.
Although middle-market banking is primarily a credit business for BankAmerica,
the fact that we can deliver the full range of the corporation's products and
services, including cash management, capital raising, capital markets, and
access to our global network, is a distinct competitive advantage for us. No
other financial institution in our markets can provide such a comprehensive
level of service to such a complete range of businesses within the sector.
In addition, many middle-market companies are privately owned, creating a strong
connection between the businesses and the individuals who own them. This offers
significant opportunities for us to cross-sell the services of The Private Bank
to both the owners and senior executives of middle-market companies. In some
cases, we are also able to offer consumer financial services to the employees of
our client companies.
For the growing number of businesses involved in globalization and foreign
trade, our international trade bank is now among the top two providers of trade
finance for both middle-market and large corporate clients.
We are expanding the geographic base of our middle-market business. In addition
to the western states, we also have significant market presence in the Chicago
area. In 1995, we expanded into Michigan, Wisconsin, Indiana, and Missouri. Our
plans for 1996 include further expansion in the Midwest. We have also opened a
commercial banking office in Atlanta to serve clients in eight states in the
rapidly growing markets within the southeastern United States.
We have been able to expand in these markets without additional high-cost
infrastucture, and we are able to offer a broader range of products and services
than most of our local competitors.
We serve the middle-market sector in a number of different ways, collectively
striving to reach businesses at all levels of development. Through BankAmerica
Business Credit, the largest commercial finance company in the United States, we
are able to provide asset-based lending services to companies in all 50 states.
Middle-market banking is first and foremost a relationship business at
BankAmerica. We seek to become the financial services provider of choice for our
clients, developing a complete

domestic network of branches and other delivery points, more than 400 securities
brokers, offices in 36 foreign countries, and correspondent relationships with
more than 2,000 banks throughout the world to address the wealth management
needs of customers ranging from the very wealthy to the middle class saving for

The accumulation of wealth by an aging population, the transfer of wealth
between generations, and the growing globalization of investment opportunities
are creating new customers and increasing the need for sophisticated expertise
in serving the needs of individuals with high net worth or investible assets.
In both The Private Bank and the investment services business, the acquisition
of new clients and the deepening of relationships with existing clients require
a broad range of products and an efficient and effective delivery capability, as
well as highly qualified professionals dedicated to assisting their clients in
finding the right solutions for their needs.
Consequently, we are building a staff of investment brokers, Private Banking
representatives, and personal trust officers who have the knowledge, experience,
and resources to identify their clients' needs and help them find the right
products and services to meet those needs.
Our Private Bankers, for example, are equipped to function as "financial general
practitioners" who know their clients well enough to recommend specialized
service providers when the need arises, whether it be in tax or estate planning,
property titles, sophisticated investment advice, or any of the complex needs
that may arise with high-net-worth clients.
In the brokerage business, we have nearly completed a multi-year project to give
our representatives the electronic support they need to provide their clients
with the best tools available for retirement and estate planning, asset
allocation, education planning, and other available products and services.
To enhance the fiduciary services that are a key part of these businesses, our
personal trust department has been actively strengthening the quality of its
team by internal recruiting and outside hires.
In both The Private Bank and the brokerage business, our focus is on the full
client relationship rather than just the current transaction. In the fiduciary
part of the business we position ourselves as "trusted financial advisors",
helping clients to design and implement solutions to their long-term investment
needs.
We continue to work on improving strategic alliances with the consumer bank and
especially with the commercial bank, to make investment and fiduciary services
part of the total complement of services they can provide to their clients. At
the same time, the consumer and commercial operations - particularly middle-
market banking - are significant sources of new clients for The Private Bank.
In product development, too, our emphasis is on improving our accessibility to
clients and making it easy for them to do business with us. We have recently
introduced a number of highly competitive asset-gathering products. Time
Horizon(TM) Mutual Funds, for example, are designed to enable investors to
achieve financial goals over specified periods of time by seeking to maximize
total return over a stated investment period, while also increasing the emphasis
on capital preservation as the

funds approach their targeted time horizons. TrustAmerica(TM) is a fiduciary
product offering comprehensive trust services to clients of modest means who
might not be able to afford a corporate trustee.
While maintaining this focus on growing both our client base and individual
client relationships, we have also maintained a competitive performance record
in our mutual fund activities. During 1995, we consolidated the money-market
products of Continental Bank into our core investment products: the Pacific
Horizon(R) Funds. At the same time, effective marketing, relationship service,
and competitive yields enabled us to bring nearly $2 billion in new money into
the funds in the last year.
In both The Private Bank and the investment business, we believe that our
combination of centralized asset management expertise and decentralized
distribution should allow us to operate efficiently, while serving the needs of
our clients.

Business Sectors
For reporting purposes, BAC segregates its operations into business or operating
sectors. BAC's Vice Chairmen oversee the operations of the businesses that
comprise the sectors and are responsible for their financial performance. The
Vice Chairmen regularly review their respective businesses to evaluate past
performance and make decisions regarding the future allocation of resources. All
Vice Chairmen are accountable to the Chief Executive Officer.
BAC determines its business sector results based on an internal management
reporting system, which allocates revenues, expenses, assets, and liabilities to
each business sector. Furthermore, for internal business sector monitoring, the
unallocated allowance for credit losses and related provision for credit losses
are assigned to the business sectors. Equity is assigned to each internal
business sector on a risk-adjusted basis, as discussed on page 45. While BAC
manages its hedging activities centrally, the effects of hedging are allocated
to the business sectors through a transfer pricing process. As a result, the
effects of hedging interest rate risk are reflected in the appropriate business
sectors.
The information set forth in the tables on pages 18-20 reflects the
condensed income statements and selected average balance sheet line items and
financial ratios by business sectors. The expense to revenue ratio in the tables
excludes net other real estate owned (OREO) expense and amortization of
intangibles. The information presented does not necessarily represent the
business sectors' financial condition and results of operations as if they were
independent entities. Results from prior periods are restated for changes in
sector composition and in allocation and assignment methodologies to allow for
comparability. For a detailed discussion of the composition of each business
sector, refer to pages 6-15.

Computer icon depicting the Consumer
Banking sector appears here
Consumer Banking
Net income for Consumer Banking was up $322 million, or 39 percent, from 1994,
primarily reflecting improved results in BAC's California retail deposit
business and its non-California banks. Improved results in these
businesses were partially offset by declines in net income in BAC's credit card
and Asia retail operations. Net interest income increased from the amount
reported in 1994 as a result of higher spreads. Noninterest income increased $80
million primarily due to higher service charge revenues on deposit accounts and
transactions. Noninterest expense increased $65 million primarily due to growth
in residential lending activities, reflecting BAC's expanded mortgage banking
operations. In addition, BAC incurred higher direct mail advertising expenses
and branch promotional costs to market new co-branding and photocard products.
These increases were partially offset by a decrease in Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation (FDIC) deposit premiums, as discussed on page 24. During 1995,
average loan outstandings grew $7.7 billion, or 11 percent. This increase was
broadly based, both in terms of loan type and geographic region. Average
deposits declined $3.6 billion, reflecting decreases in most deposit categories.
The expense to revenue ratio for this sector improved from 63.2 percent in 1994
to 59.5 percent in 1995.
Net income in 1994 for Consumer Banking was up $153 million, or 23 percent,
from the amount reported for 1993, largely reflecting improved results in BAC's
retail deposit and credit card businesses, as well as its non-California retail
franchises. Noninterest expense decreased primarily due to lower personnel
expense resulting from the centralization of support functions and various other
operational efficiencies. The provision for credit losses declined primarily due
to improved credit quality in the credit card business. The $2.9 billion
increase in average loan outstandings primarily reflected an increase in
residential first mortgages. Average deposits decreased $2.5 billion, largely
reflecting a decline in time deposits.

U.S. Corporate and International Banking
U.S. Corporate and International Banking's net income in 1995 increased $268
million, or 44 percent, from that of the previous year. The increase in this
sector's revenue and expense levels and average loans and deposits was largely a
result of a full year's impact of BAC's acquisition of Continental Bank
Corporation (Continental). In addition, net interest income grew due to loan
growth in the commercial and industrial and foreign sectors. Noninterest income
rose in connection with improved results from BAC's venture capital, trading,
and loan syndication activities, partially offset by lower income from assets
pending disposition. Noninterest expense grew primarily due to continued
expansion of BAC's global capital markets operations. Average deposits
increased, reflecting higher foreign interest-bearing deposits that were
utilized primarily to fund loan growth.
BankAmerica Corporation 1995 / 19
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
U.S. Corporate and International Banking's net income in 1994 decreased
$166 million, or 22 percent, from 1993. This decrease was primarily due to an
increase in the provision for credit losses from ($158) million in 1993 to $10
million in 1994. Noninterest income increased in 1994 largely due to gains on
sales of assets pending disposition and certain equity investments, partially
offset by lower trading income. Noninterest expense grew primarily due to the
Continental acquisition and to investments made to support and expand BAC's
global capital markets operations. Average loans increased due to the
Continental acquisition and strong demand from commercial and industrial
customers.

Commercial Real Estate
Commercial Real Estate's net income for 1995 decreased $21 million, or 6
percent, from 1994. Net interest income was up in 1995 due to Continental's
contribution. Noninterest income declined $32 million during 1995 due to fewer
asset sales, as a majority of the sector's sales of problem assets occurred
during 1993 and 1994.

percent, from 1993. This increase was attributable to a decrease in the
provision for credit losses from $78 million in 1993 to $(218) million in 1994,
lower OREO expense, and increased net interest income, partially offset by lower
noninterest income. OREO expense decreased due to stabilized values, resulting
in declines in writedowns of foreclosed properties, and to increased gains on
the disposition of problem real estate assets. Net interest income was up in
1994 due to increased interest collections that resulted from a lower level of
nonperforming assets. Noninterest income declined during 1994 due to fewer asset
sales, resulting in lower gains on assets sold.

Middle-Market Banking
Middle-Market Banking's net income for 1995 grew $60 million, or 23 percent,
from 1994. This growth primarily reflected improved net interest income results
in BAC's commercial businesses, as loan volumes increased and spreads widened.
In addition, the improved results included the effects of the Continental
acquisition. Increases in noninterest income, noninterest expense, and average
loans were largely due to BAC's expanded midwestern banking operations.
Middle-Market Banking's net income in 1994 grew $45 million, or 20 percent,
from 1993. This increase was primarily due to a decrease in the provision for
credit losses in 1993 from $(19) million to $(66) million in 1994. The increase
in net interest income was primarily attributable to the acquisition of
Continental. Noninterest expense in 1994 was essentially unchanged from 1993,
even after the inclusion of post-Continental acquisition operations in this
sector.

Private Banking and Investment Services
Net income for Private Banking and Investment Services in 1995 increased $45
million from the amount reported in 1994. Noninterest expense in 1994 includes
$83 million of capital additions to the Pacific Horizon money market mutual
funds. Net interest income increased $32 million primarily due to increased loan
volumes generated by the Continental acquisition. Noninterest income increased
$26 million largely as a result of expanded private banking activities in the
Midwest, which was partially offset by investment financial management fees and
mutual fund and annuity fees.
Net income for Private Banking and Investment Services in 1994 decreased
$61 million from 1993 primarily due to the capital additions discussed above.
This decrease was partially offset by reduced operating costs, improved results
from the personal trust business, and Continental's contribution.

Other
Other amounts are primarily associated with BAC's institutional trust and
securities services (ITSS), certain corporate expenses, and various other
support services. The other sector also includes the results from corporate
liquidity management activities as discussed on page 42, along with any residual
differences between actual centrally managed external hedging results and the
allocation of interest rate risk hedging to the business sectors.
This sector had a net loss of $58 million in 1995, compared with net income
of $128 million in 1994. This decrease was primarily attributable to an increase
in unallocated corporate occupancy expenses, a higher net loss in the ITSS
business, and lower results from corporate liquidity management activities.
During 1995, BAC began to divest its ITSS business, as management
determined that the investment required to remain competitive was not justified
by the anticipated returns. In connection with this divestiture, BAC recognized
a net gain of $36 million associated with the completed components of the sale.
During 1996, BAC anticipates receiving additional revenues in conjunction with
the finalization of the remaining components of the divestiture.
Results Of Operations
Net Interest Income
Net interest income is the difference between interest earned on assets and
interest paid on liabilities. Interest income and expense are affected by
changes in the volume and mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing
deposits and other interest-bearing liabilities, as well as fluctuations in
interest rates.
On a taxable-equivalent basis, net interest income amounted to $8,487
million in 1995, up $921 million, or 12 percent, from the amount reported in
1994. The main factor contributing to this increase was loan growth, as average
loans increased $18.5 billion, or 14 percent, during 1995. In addition, net
interest income in 1995 included $215 million of interest recoveries, up from
$120 million in 1994.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BAC's net interest margin for 1995 was 4.51 percent, essentially unchanged
from the margin in 1994. Net interest margin is the net yield on interest-
earning assets and includes the effects of interest recoveries, as previously
discussed.
Heightened price competition for loan volume negatively influenced the
margin in 1995. In addition, BAC's growth in average earning assets was largely
funded by increases in foreign interest-bearing deposits and domestic purchased
funds, which are more costly than traditional core deposits. If these trends
continue, the net interest margin in 1996 may continue to decline as it has over
the last three quarters of 1995.
BAC's net interest income and margin include the results of hedging with
certain on- and off-balance-sheet financial instruments. During 1995,
approximately $65 million of net interest income attributable to hedging with
derivative instruments was included in BAC's net interest income results,
compared with approximately $390 million in 1994. The derivative hedging amounts
for 1995 and 1994 accounted for approximately 5 basis points and 25 basis
points, respectively, of the net interest margins for those periods.

Noninterest Income
Noninterest income for 1995 increased $411 million, or 10 percent, from the
amount reported in 1994. Fees and commissions, the largest component of
noninterest income, increased $259 million from the amount reported in 1994.
Retail deposit account fees increased due to an increase in the number of fee-
paying accounts, growth in teleservicing fee revenues, and higher service
charge revenues on other transactions. Financial services fees increased $88
million from 1994. This increase was largely attributable to expanded loan
syndication volume. Off-balance-sheet credit-related instrument fees and
personal and other trust fees increased primarily due to the Continental
acquisition. Loan fees and charges increased over 1994 amounts due primarily to
higher revenues from late payment charges on credit card accounts. This increase
in loan fees and charges was partially offset by amortization expense and
valuation adjustments on mortgage servicing rights recognized in connection with
the fourth-quarter 1995 adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) No. 122, "Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights." For more information
on the adoption of SFAS No. 122, refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements on pages 52-56. The above increases in fees and commissions
were partially offset by a decline in credit card membership fees, as fee
waivers were granted under certain circumstances to retain and increase card
membership.
Trading income increased $170 million, or 48 percent, from the amount
reported in 1994, reflecting improved market conditions and strengthening
customer demand in 1995. Improved performance in BAC's debt securities trading
operations was largely attributable to gains on Latin American and other
emerging market debt securities. Foreign exchange trading-related income
increased due to higher transaction volume that resulted from strong global
demand for these

Other noninterest income for 1995 was $832 million, compared with $850
million reported in 1994. Income from assets pending disposition decreased $153
million from the amount reported in 1994, as sales of such assets were
substantially completed in 1994. Net gain on sales of assets decreased $55
million due to fewer asset sales in 1995. These decreases were partially offset
by higher revenues from venture capital activities, which increased $201 million
from 1994 due to higher realized capital gains and partnership distributions in
connection with a strong equity market in 1995. Other income in 1995 included a
$50 million gain from the sale of an asset received in lieu of debt repayment
and a $36 million gain associated with the completed components of the
previously announced divestiture of BAC's ITSS business. Other income in 1994
included a gain of $85 million on the sales of a minority interest in Burns-Fry
Holdings Corporation and two Asian branches.

Noninterest expense for 1995 increased $501 million from the amount reported in
1994 primarily due to an increase in personnel expense. In 1994, noninterest
expense included $50 million of merger-related charges incurred in connection
with the acquisition of Continental. In addition, noninterest expense in 1994
included $83 million of capital additions to two Pacific Horizon money market
mutual funds, for which Bank of America NT&SA serves as investment advisor.

Personnel expense (salaries and employee benefits), the largest component
of noninterest expense, totaled $4,027 million in 1995, up $388 million from the
amount reported for 1994. The increase in personnel expense was largely
attributable to increases in base salaries and incentive-based compensation.
Base salaries increased $190 million primarily as a result of a full year's
effect of the Continental merger and mortgage banking acquisitions in 1994, as
well as a change in the mix of employees. Incentive-based compensation
increased $183 million largely due to increases in executive stock-based
incentive bonuses and discretionary variable pay plans, which were largely
correlated with BAC's 1995 financial performance and common stock appreciation.
BAC's staff level on a full-time-equivalent (FTE) basis was approximately 79,900
at December 31, 1995, down from 82,100 at December 31, 1994. FTE is a
measurement equal to one full-time employee working a standard day. BAC had
approximately 95,300 employees at December 31, 1995, down from 98,600 employees
at the same time a year earlier. These amounts include both full-time and part-
time employees.

=====================================================================================
Regulatory fees and related expenses declined $114 million primarily due to
a reduction in FDIC assessment rates. When the FDIC achieved its mandated ratio
of Bank Insurance Fund (BIF) reserves to insured deposits of 1.25 percent in May
1995, it reduced the assessment rates for well-capitalized and highest-rated
institutions from 23 cents to 4 cents per $100 of eligible deposits for the
balance of 1995. In November 1995, the FDIC reduced the 1996 insurance premium
rate for well-capitalized and highest-rated BIF-insured banks to zero. Under the
new rate structure, the well-capitalized and highest-rated banks will only pay a
membership fee for BIF insurance, effective January 1996.
Congress is also considering proposed legislation that would recapitalize
the FDIC's Savings Association Insurance Fund (SAIF) to 1.25% of insured
deposits through a special one-time assessment. However, at this time it is not
possible to predict the ultimate provisions of any final legislation or their
effect on BAC. For more information regarding this special deposit assessment,
refer to Note 22 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements on page 79.

Comparison of 1994 versus 1993
The increase in 1994 earnings over 1993 was primarily attributable to
substantial improvement in credit quality and increased net interest income.
Taxable-equivalent net interest income for 1994 was $103 million higher than the
amount reported in 1993. The main factor contributing to this increase was a 3
percent increase in average total loans, which included the effects of the
Continental acquisition. The net interest margin for 1994 was 4.50 percent, down
19 basis points from 4.69 percent in 1993.
The provision for credit losses in 1994 decreased $343 million, or 43
percent, from the amount reported in 1993, reflecting improvements in most
portfolio segments.
Noninterest income for 1994 decreased $126 million over the amount reported
for 1993. This decrease primarily reflected lower trading results, offset by
higher other noninterest income. Total fees and commissions for 1994 remained
relatively unchanged from the amount reported for 1993. Excluding Continental's
contribution, various categories of fees and commissions in 1994 declined from
1993.
Trading income for 1994 decreased $212 million from the amount reported in
1993, as a result of less favorable market conditions throughout 1994. In
particular, BAC experienced declines related to foreign debt instruments and
currencies associated with certain foreign markets. Other noninterest income
increased $75 million in 1994 from the amount reported in 1993. This increase
was largely due to the sales of a minority interest in Burns-Fry Holdings
Corporation and two Asian branches, which resulted in a total gain of $85
million. This increase was partially offset by a decline in the net gain on
available-for-sale securities.
Noninterest expense for 1994 was essentially unchanged from the amount
reported in 1993. Noninterest expense in 1994 included amounts related to post-
Continental-acquisition operations, as well as an additional $50 million of
merger-related charges incurred in connection with the Continental acquisition.
Personnel expense for 1994 increased $180 million from the amount reported
in 1993, reflecting higher severance-related benefits and staff levels.
Severance-related expenses increased $61 million over the amount reported in
1993, while staff levels increased due to Continental and other 1994
acquisitions. Partially offsetting increased personnel costs were decreased
professional services and regulatory-related expenses.
In addition, net OREO expense in 1994 decreased $93 million from 1993. This
decrease was due to a decline in writedowns of foreclosed properties and
increased gains on sales of OREO, partially offset by a reduction in OREO-
related income.
Other expense for 1994 was essentially unchanged from the amount reported
in 1993. Other expense in 1994 included $83 million of capital additions to two
money market mutual funds, as discussed on page 24. Other expense for 1993
included a nonrecurring charge of $90 million related to the accrual of various
restructuring expenses.
BAC's effective income tax rate for 1994 decreased to 41.5 percent from
43.0 percent in 1993. This decrease was primarily due to reductions in the state
effective tax rate and effective tax rates applied to leveraged lease income.
Balance Sheet Review
Total assets increased $17.0 billion, or 8 percent, during 1995. Earning assets
were up $14.9 billion, primarily reflecting a $14.5 billion increase in total
loans. Increases in foreign deposits and other short-term borrowings, primarily
bank notes and commercial paper, largely funded the growth in earning assets.
Investment Securities
Total investment securities averaged $17.0 billion in 1995, a 17 percent
decrease from $20.5 billion in 1994. This decline occurred as loan growth
exceeded deposit growth and some proceeds of maturing securities were used to
fund loans, instead of being reinvested in securities.
Available-for-sale securities and held-to-maturity securities comprised 72
percent and 28 percent, respectively, of total investment securities at year-
end 1995, compared with 55 percent and 45 percent, respectively, at year-end
1994. This shift was primarily due to a $2.1 billion reclassification of certain
debt securities from the held-to-maturity to the available-for-sale portfolio
during the fourth quarter of 1995. For more information on this
reclassification, refer to Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements on pages 58 and 59.
During 1995, BAC experienced unrealized valuation gains of $327 million on
its available-for-sale portfolio. These unrealized gains, which resulted
primarily from mortgage-backed securities, were recorded on a net-of-tax basis
in stockholders' equity.

Deposits
Total deposits were $160.5 billion at December 31, 1995, an increase of $6.1
billion, or 4 percent, from year-end 1994. During 1995, BAC continued to
experience a shift in its funding structure. Average domestic interest-bearing
deposits decreased $3.2 billion, while foreign interest-bearing deposits
increased $10.4 billion. The decline in domestic interest-bearing deposits was
largely reflected in money market accounts and other retail deposit categories.
Funds raised through wholesale sources in the domestic and offshore markets,
including foreign interest-bearing deposits replaced the decline in retail
deposits and helped support balance sheet growth in 1995. Management expects
this trend to continue in 1996.
For further information related to BAC's management of assets and
liabilities, as well as information on BAC's liquidity and capital, refer to the
Risk Management section and Liquidity and Capital Management sections that
follow on pages 27-45.
Pending Accounting Standards
In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of" (SFAS No. 121),
which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995 and will
be adopted by BAC effective January 1, 1996. BAC expects that, at adoption, SFAS
No. 121 will not have a material effect on its financial position or results of
operations.
In October 1995, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" (SFAS No. 123).
This Statement establishes financial accounting and reporting standards for
stock-based compensation plans. SFAS No. 123 is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 1995, and BAC will adopt it effective January 1,
1996. BAC expects to continue to account for stock-based employee compensation
plans in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting
for Stock Issued to Employees," as SFAS No. 123 permits, and to follow the pro
forma net income and earnings per share disclosure requirements set forth in
SFAS No. 123. BAC expects that, at adoption, SFAS No. 123 will not have an
effect on its financial position or results of operations.

Off-Balance-Sheet Financial Instruments
Credit-Related Financial Instruments
BAC continually makes commitments to extend credit to a wide range of customers.
Additionally, BAC issues financial guarantees and letters of credit to ensure
performance of customer financial obligations. BAC generally enters into these
contracts to offer short-term financing and facilitate domestic and foreign
trade transactions for customers.
Foreign Exchange and Derivatives Contracts
BAC uses foreign exchange and derivatives contracts in both its trading and its
asset and liability management activities. Foreign exchange and derivatives
contracts include swaps, futures, forwards, and option contracts, all of which
derive their value from underlying interest rates, foreign exchange rates,
commodity values, or equity instruments. Certain transactions involve
standardized contracts executed on organized exchanges, while others are
negotiated over-the-counter (OTC), with the terms tailored to meet the needs of
BAC and its customers. For a detailed discussion of these instruments and
transactions, refer to Note 20 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
on pages 70-76.
BAC executes transactions to aid its customers in managing exposures to
interest rates, foreign exchange rates, prices of securities, and financial or
commodity indices. For example, a multinational manufacturing company may want
to control the cost of purchasing raw materials in foreign currencies at a
future date. BAC will transact cross currency swaps or foreign exchange
contracts with the customer to meet this management objective. Counterparties to
BAC's foreign exchange and derivative transactions generally include U.S. and
foreign banks, nonbank financial institutions, corporations, domestic and
foreign governments, and asset managers.
BAC generates trading revenue by executing transactions to support
customers' risk management needs, by efficiently managing the positions that
result from these transactions, and by making markets in a wide variety of
products. In its trading activities, BAC primarily employs traditional or
"plain-vanilla" products such as spot and forward foreign exchange contracts,
exchange-traded futures contracts, and conventional interest rate swaps, caps
and floors. These instruments are designed to be used by a wide variety of
market participants. Such products accounted for approximately 95 percent of all
foreign exchange and derivatives contracts outstanding at December 31, 1995. The
remaining 5 percent involved nontraditional products or transactions and were
executed primarily to meet unique client needs. In the future, BAC plans to
prudently increase its usage of nontraditional derivative financial instruments
to take greater advantage of its market and industry expertise in meeting
customer demand and anticipating market conditions.
As an end-user, BAC employs foreign exchange and derivatives contracts to
hedge interest rate risk in connection with its own asset and liability
management activities. For a detailed discussion of BAC's hedging objectives and
the strategies and financial instruments used to achieve such objectives, refer
to Note 20 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements on pages 70-76.
Similar to on-balance-sheet financial instruments such as loans and
investment securities, off-balance-sheet financial instruments subject BAC to
various types of risk. For a discussion of these risks and how they are managed,
refer to the Risk Management section below and on pages 28-42.
Risk Management
Since risk is inherent in most of BAC's business activities, risk management is
integral to BAC's operations and a key determinant of its overall financial
performance. BAC applies various strategies to mitigate the risks to which it is
exposed; namely credit, market, liquidity, and operational and settlement risks.
These strategies are discussed in the following sections.
Credit Risk Management
Overview
Credit risk is the possibility of loss in the event that a borrower or other
counterparty fails to perform under the terms of a contract. The existence of
credit risk indicates that not all borrowers or others who enter into credit-
related contractual relationships with BAC will completely meet the terms of
their agreements. Credit risk arises primarily from BAC's lending activities, as
well as from transactions involving certain foreign exchange and derivatives
contacts. Credit risk also includes transfer risk, which is the risk that
although foreign customers possess adequate funds, their local central banks
preclude them from exchanging their local currency for the foreign currency
(usually U.S. dollars) with which they agreed to repay their obligations.

BAC's Credit Policy Committee (CPC) oversees all credit-related activities.
The CPC is responsible for establishing credit standards and guidelines that
define and quantify credit risk, and for managing BAC's overall credit exposure.
The CPC also oversees compliance with established credit limits and conducts
reviews of industry, geographic region or country, product, and individual
borrower or counterparty exposure, together with reviews of problem credits and
credit losses. Managing credit risk within the guidelines established by the CPC
is the responsibility of all BAC line officers involved in granting credit to
customers. For these employees, the primary focus of managing credit risk is to
evaluate a borrower's or counterparty's ability to repay an obligation from
identified financial sources. When collateral-secured transactions are involved,
the focus is to ensure that sufficient collateral is obtained at the outset of
the contract and that sufficient collateral margins are maintained throughout
the contract's life.
In making credit recommendations and decisions, line officers are supported
by credit specialists within BAC who have expertise in specific areas, including
specialized industries, geographic regions, or types of products. The adherence
of line officers to the CPC's established limits and exposure levels is
monitored on an ongoing basis by BAC's credit examination officers and is
ultimately overseen by senior credit management. BAC makes substantial
investments in credit risk training to ensure competence among all credit
officers and to better serve its customers' changing needs.
Like the banking industry as a whole, BAC's operations are affected by
certain business and economic cycles. To mitigate the potential financial impact
of these cycles, the CPC monitors various external statistics and internal
measures that serve as benchmarks to highlight emerging issues. Among them are a
portfolio's sensitivity to interest rate changes, governmental actions such as
spending cutbacks, global economic trends, and fluctuations in energy prices.
Along with other economic, social, and political factors, these benchmarks are
incorporated in periodic CPC reviews of industries and countries.
BAC also manages credit risk by diversifying both on- and off-balance-sheet
portfolios by industry, product, and geographic concentration. The extent of
diversification of the loan portfolio is evident in the accompanying charts and
tables on pages 29-32. No individual loan type exceeded 24 percent of total
loans outstanding at December 31, 1995. The product diversification in BAC's
off-balance-sheet portfolio is exemplified in the tables in Note 20 of the Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements on pages 70-76.
Off-Balance-Sheet Credit Risk
Foreign exchange and derivatives contracts introduce two additional elements of
credit risk: closeout risk and settlement risk. Closeout risk is the possibility
that a counterparty to a transaction will be unable to comply with the terms of
its contract and BAC will need to replace that contract at current market value.
Settlement risk occurs when BAC pays out funds or delivers assets before it
receives payment from the counterparty in the transaction.
BAC manages closeout and settlement risk by dealing with creditworthy
counterparties. In evaluating creditworthiness, BAC utilizes the same policies,
procedures, and internal credit risk rating system established for all on-
balance-sheet credit exposures. At December 31, 1995, approximately 95 percent
of the counterparties with whom BAC had credit exposure from foreign exchange
and derivatives contracts had investment grade ratings.
BAC measures both current and potential future exposure when evaluating its
closeout credit risk on foreign exchange and derivative contracts. Current
exposure is the amount BAC would have the right to receive if a foreign exchange
or derivative contract were terminated on the date of evaluation. Potential
exposure is calculated based on the estimated change in the contract's fair
value over its remaining life.
To further mitigate closeout risk, BAC obtains collateral where appropriate
and makes use of master netting agreements wherever possible. Master netting
agreements, such as the internationally recognized International Swap and
Derivatives

Association (ISDA) agreement and the International Foreign Exchange Master
Agreement (IFEMA), allow for the netting of a counterparty's current positive
and negative closeout exposures associated with all individual transactions of
that counterparty. BAC's policy is to execute legally enforceable master netting
agreements with its foreign exchange and derivative customers whenever possible.
BAC reduces settlement risk through novation netting (a mutual agreement to
substitute a new contract for two or more existing contracts that are then
discharged) or settlement netting arrangements (a contract to settle mutual
obligations at the net value of the individual contracts), which may be included
as part of a master netting agreement.
Current credit exposure, based on current positive fair values of open
contracts at December 31, 1995 and 1994, and taking into account the effect of
master netting agreements and arrangements, was $8.1 billion and $6.6 billion,
respectively. Had the above described netting agreements and arrangements for
foreign exchange and derivative contracts not been in effect at year-end 1995
and 1994, current credit risk would have been $20.5 billion and $14.4 billion.
The increase in credit risk and credit exposure between year-end 1994 and 1995
was primarily reflected in derivative financial instruments held or issued for
trading purposes and was attributable to volume-related growth in interest rate
derivative contracts in response to customer demand and to fluctuations in
foreign exchange spot rates. Risk-mitigating netting agreements and arrangements
helped to limit BAC's actual credit losses from counterparty nonperformance to
$3 million in both 1995 and 1994.
Loan Portfolio Management
Total loans at December 31, 1995 increased $14.5 billion, or 10 percent, from
year-end 1994. Average total loans for 1995 increased $18.5 billion over 1994,
reflecting increases in both the domestic and foreign sectors.

Domestic Consumer Loans
Domestic consumer loan outstandings at year-end 1995 increased $7.3 billion, or
11 percent, from year-end 1994, reflecting increases in most consumer loan
categories. As evidenced in the table on page 29, the most significant changes
were in residential first mortgages, other installment loans, and credit card
loans, which grew $2.8 billion, $3.2 billion, and $1.1 billion, respectively.
The increase in residential first mortgages reflected BAC's continued efforts to
geographically diversify its mortgage lending activities and expand its national
mortgage banking operations. In 1995, mortgage origination and servicing levels
grew in most regions of the country.
The increase in other installment loans was largely due to increases in
manufactured housing and auto loans. Manufactured housing loans grew in the
southern and midwestern regions primarily as a result of strong customer demand
and BAC's continued expansion and marketing efforts in these regions. The growth
in auto loans was primarily attributable to increases in auto leases in Southern
California and loans in other western states.
During 1995, the number of credit card accounts increased, which resulted
from new co-branding relationships with selected nonfinancial institutions, and
increased direct mail and branch advertising. In addition, attrition levels
decreased from 1994 in response to fee waivers and BAC's launching of a new
variable-rate credit card product.
Some consumer loan categories, including residential first mortgages,
credit card, and other consumer, experienced higher delinquency ratios during
1995. For further information regarding BAC's domestic consumer loan
delinquencies, refer to the table at right.
Domestic Commercial Loans
Domestic commercial loan outstandings increased $4.0 billion, or 8 percent,
during 1995, primarily reflecting increases of $3.9 billion and $0.7 billion in
commercial and industrial loans and loans secured by real estate, respectively.

were partially offset by a decrease of $0.5 billion in construction and
development loans secured by real estate.
The increase in commercial and industrial loans was primarily attributable
to strong loan demand from large corporate and middle market borrowers in
various industries, including transportation, energy, communications, utilities,
wholesale manufacturing, and consumer products. In particular, BAC's loan
syndication activities benefited from this demand. During 1995, BAC acted in
lead agent and co-agent roles to structure loan transactions totaling
approximately $300 billion, a 25 percent increase from 1994 levels. Commercial
loans secured by real estate increased as a result of stronger loan demand and
BAC's ability to meet this demand with its broadening commercial lending
operations, particularly in the southwestern United States. The decline in
construction and development loans was primarily attributable to a slowdown in
such lending activities in California and the resolution of problem loans.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Foreign Loans
Foreign loan outstandings were $23.5 billion at December 31, 1995, up $3.1
billion from year-end 1994. This growth was mainly attributable to increases of
$1.5 billion and $0.9 billion in foreign commercial and industrial loans and
loans to banks and other financial institutions, respectively. Growth in these
loan categories was largely due to increased loan demand in BAC's Asia
operations.
Emerging Market Exposure
In connection with its efforts to maintain a diversified portfolio, BAC limits
its exposure to any one country. In particular, BAC strives to monitor its
exposure to economies that are considered emerging markets. As indicated in the
table above, at December 31, 1995, BAC's emerging market exposure totaled $8,843
million, or 4 percent of total assets, compared to $6,677 million at year-end
1994. This exposure represents loans, restructured debt, which is included in
the securities portfolios, and other monetary assets.
Investment in emerging markets is predominantly concentrated in Latin
America and in Asia. During 1996, BAC plans to continue to expand its investment
in these regions. BAC's growth in these regions is expected to be primarily
concentrated in the transportation and utility sectors, as developing countries
in these regions focus on improving their infrastructure bases and regional
trade capabilities. Since high growth in these countries is expected to be
driven by foreign direct investment and the availability of funding from
offshore capital markets, BAC is strategically positioned to participate in this
expansion with its global presence and diverse product offerings.

subsidiaries and operations pending disposition totaling $220 million was
reclassified to other assets during 1992.
/c/ Includes ATRR of $67 million at December 31, 1992 and $145 million at

Allowance for Credit Losses
The allowance for credit losses at December 31, 1995 was $3,554 million, or 2.29
percent of total loan outstandings, compared with $3,690 million, or 2.62
percent, at December 31, 1994. Excluding outstandings in the residential first
mortgage loan portfolio and the portion of the allowance associated with these
outstandings, the ratios were 2.89 percent and 3.36 percent of loans at year-end
1995 and 1994, respectively.

The table above shows the allocation of the allowance for credit losses by
loan type. This allocation is based on management's judgment of potential losses
in the respective loan portfolios. While management has allocated the allowance
to various portfolio segments, it is general in nature and is available for the
loan portfolio in its entirety.
Management develops the allowance for credit losses using a "building block
approach" for various portfolio segments. Significant loans, particularly those
considered to be impaired, are individually analyzed while other loans are
analyzed by portfolio segment. In establishing the allowance for the portfolio
segments, credit officers include results obtained from statistical models using
historical loan performance data.
The allowance amounts are calculated, in part, based on historical loss
experience. In addition, the credit officer responsible for each portfolio
segment makes adjustments based on qualitative evaluations of individual
classified assets, knowledge of portfolio segment conditions, and on the
officer's judgment of factors that are expected to influence the future
performance of the portfolio. These factors include geographic and portfolio
concentrations, new products or markets, evaluations of the changes in the
historical loss experience component, and projections of this component into the
current and future periods based on current knowledge and conditions.
The Composition of Allowance for Credit Losses table at left displays how
the allowance for credit losses associated with special mention and classified
assets is determined by combining the historical loss experience component with
the credit management allocated component. The statistical model that BAC uses
in calculating the historical loss experience component reflects the portfolio
experience over a full economic cycle.
BankAmerica Corporation 1995 / 35
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After an allowance has been established for the loan portfolio segments,
credit management establishes an unallocated portion of the allowance for credit
losses, which is attributable to factors that cannot be associated with a
specific loan or portfolio segment. These factors include general economic
conditions, recognition of specific regional and international geographic
concerns, and trends in portfolio growth.
The special mention and classified amounts in the table on page 34 include
all loans that have been internally risk rated as "special mention,"
"substandard," or "doubtful." Special mention assets are potentially weak, as
the borrower has begun to exhibit deteriorating trends which, if not corrected,
could jeopardize repayment of the loan and result in a "substandard"
classification.
Classified assets include those that are deemed "substandard" or
"doubtful." Substandard assets have a well-defined weakness which if not
corrected, jeopardizes the full satisfaction of the debt. An asset classified as
"doubtful" has critical weaknesses that make full collection improbable.
However, because of pending events that may work to strengthen the asset, the
amount and timing of the possible loss cannot be determined. BAC's actual
historical loss experience since 1991 indicates ultimate loss rates for "special
mention," "substandard," and "doubtful" loans of approximately 2 percent, 6
percent, and 33 percent, respectively.
In 1995, net credit losses were $589 million, an increase of $119 million
from the amount reported in 1994. Net credit losses in the domestic consumer
loan portfolio, the largest component of BAC's net credit losses, increased $32
million from the amount reported in 1994. This increase was primarily due to
growth in the manufactured housing and consumer credit card portfolios and
increased personal bankruptcy filings in these categories.
Net credit losses in the domestic commercial loan portfolio amounted to $54
million in 1995, compared with net credit recoveries of $35 million in 1994.
This increase in credit losses was largely associated with significant charge-
offs on certain large corporate borrowers within the commercial and industrial
sector and lower recoveries in the domestic commercial loan

portfolio. Partially offsetting increased credit losses in the commercial and
industrial sector were recoveries on construction and development loans that
resulted from the workout of problem loans.
Net credit recoveries in the foreign loan portfolio amounted to $84 million
in 1995, compared to net credit recoveries of $82 million in 1994. In 1995, BAC
recognized recoveries on loans to borrowers in Brazil and Ecuador. In 1994, BAC
recognized recoveries on loans to borrowers in Poland and Ecuador.
Nonperforming Assets
Total nonaccrual assets decreased $189 million, or 9 percent, between year-end
1994 and December 31, 1995. This decrease reflected improvements in most
segments of the loan portfolio, particularly in construction and development
loans, foreign loans, and commercial loans secured by real estate. These
improvements can be primarily attributed to full or partial payments on
nonaccrual loans, and to a lesser degree, the restoration of nonaccrual loans to
accrual status. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in domestic
nonaccrual commercial and industrial loans, which reflected the placement of
various large corporate borrowers on nonaccrual status during the second half of
1995.

in 1995. Decreases in the commercial loan sector were primarily due to paydowns
and year-end 1994 loans being restored to current status. Partially offsetting
these decreases were increases in residential first mortgages and other consumer
loans, which were primarily attributable to growth in these portfolios.

Market Risk Management
Overview
Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and
prices, such as interest rates (interest rate risk) and foreign currency
exchange rates (foreign exchange risk). As a financial institution that engages
in transactions involving derivative and other financial instruments, BAC is
exposed to interest rate risk and, to a much less significant extent, foreign
exchange risk. Derivative financial instruments include futures, forwards,
swaps, options, and other financial instruments with similar characteristics.
Other financial instruments that expose BAC to market risk include securities,
loans, deposits, long-term debt, and subordinated capital notes.
Bank of America NT&SA's (the bank) Asset, Liability, and Financial
Management Committee (ALFI) has the overall responsibility for BAC's market risk
management policies. The Market Risk Committee (MRC), a subcommittee of ALFI, is
responsible for approving all global trading activities in all financial
instruments, as well as all foreign treasury activities. It also approves market
risk limits for these activities. The Auditing and Examining Committee regularly
reviews the policies for establishing these limits. The members of the MRC are
senior line managers who are responsible for trading and market risk management,
and senior corporate officers who are responsible for accounting policy,
treasury, and credit policy.
BAC has separate and distinct mechanisms for managing the market risk
associated with its trading activities and its other banking activities, as
discussed below.
Trading Activities
BAC's trading activities include derivatives, foreign currency, and securities
trading. These activities expose BAC to two primary types of market risk--
interest rate risk and, at a much lower level, foreign exchange risk.
BAC manages its exposure to market risk in a variety of ways. First and
foremost, the MRC establishes and monitors various limits on trading activities.
These limits include product volume, gross and net position, earnings-at-risk,
and profit and loss simulation limits. Product volume limits establish maximum
aggregate amounts of specific categories of derivatives, foreign exchange
contracts, and securities. Position limits restrict the amount of contracts by
specific maturity groupings. Earnings-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
at-risk (EAR) limits measure potential loss at a certain statistical confidence
level. Finally, profit and loss simulation limits measure the potential loss in
various segments of the trading portfolio as a result of specific and extremely
adverse scenarios, without regard to the statistical probability of their
occurring.
On a day-to-day basis, BAC reduces the market risk to which it is exposed
by executing offsetting transactions with other counterparties. However, BAC may
also temporarily retain an open position in an effort to generate revenue by
correctly anticipating future market conditions and customer demand and by
taking advantage of price differentials in the various markets in which it
operates. The day-to-day management of market risk takes place at a
decentralized level within various BAC trading centers. Documented trading
policies and procedures define acceptable boundaries within which traders can
execute transactions in their assigned markets.
BAC uses an EAR methodology to measure the overall market risk inherent in
its trading activities. Under this methodology, management models historical
data to statistically calculate with 97.5 percent confidence the potential loss
in earnings that BAC might experience if an adverse one-day shift in market
prices were to occur.
BAC performs this EAR calculation for each major portfolio segment on a
daily basis. It then calculates the combined EAR across these portfolio segments
using two different sets of assumptions. The first calculation assumes that each
portfolio segment experiences adverse price movements at the same time (i.e.,
the price movements are perfectly correlated). The second calculation assumes
that these adverse price movements within the major portfolio segments do not
occur at the same time (i.e., they are uncorrelated).
During 1995 and 1994, BAC's combined EAR calculated on a perfectly
correlated basis averaged $32 million and $18 million, respectively, and peaked
at $41 million and $28 million. BAC's EAR calculated on an uncorrelated basis
averaged $13 million and $8 million, respectively, and peaked at $18 million and
$13 million. These EAR calculations include the effects of both interest rate
and foreign exchange risks and are measured on a pre-tax basis. For each amount
presented, management estimates that interest rate risk generally comprises at
least 80 percent of the total.
BAC's trading risk profile is exemplified in the histogram of 1995 daily
trading-related revenues, which is presented at the right. During 1995, daily
trading-related revenues averaged $2.9 million. The shaded band in the histogram
represents a 95 percent confidence interval around the average daily revenue
amount. This confidence band demonstrates BAC's success during 1995 in
controlling the volatility of its daily trading activities, which was a result
of its diversified approach to market risk management.

Other Banking Activities
BAC's other banking activities other than trading include lending, accepting
deposits, investing in securities, and issuing debt as needed to fund assets.
Substantially all of the market risk that arises from these activities is
interest rate risk, which BAC manages as discussed below.
Objectives and Results of Interest Rate Risk Management
BAC's governing objective in interest rate risk management is to minimize the
potential for significant loss as a result of changes in interest rates. BAC
measures interest rate risk in terms of potential impact on both its economic
value and reported earnings. Economic value calculations measure the changes in
the present value of net future cash flows. BAC measures its exposure to
earnings variability by estimating the potential effect of changes in interest
rates on projected net income over a three-year period.
As discussed in the following sections, there are three sources of interest
rate risk. These are gap mismatches, options mismatches, and index mismatches.
To minimize exposure to declines in economic value due to gap mismatches, BAC's
policy is that assets and liabilities must have approximately equal total
duration. This asset and liability management policy protects against losses of
economic value in the event of major upward and downward interest rate
movements. BAC uses an internally developed model to translate the mismatch in
each repricing period (i.e., the "gap") into a one-year mismatch with the same
economic risk. For example, a six-month gap of $200 million is treated as having
approximately the same economic risk as a one-year gap of $100 million. As shown
in the graph on page 40, BAC's net one-year position has been essentially
balanced throughout the last five years.

Sources and Management of Interest Rate Risk
Gap Risk Management--Gap mismatches result from timing differences in the
repricing of assets, liabilities, and off-balance-sheet instruments (e.g., loan
commitments). For example, if BAC makes long-term fixed-rate loans and funds
them with floating-rate deposits that reprice every six months, a gap mismatch
is created. In this example, in a rising interest rate environment, BAC would be
exposed to the risk of having to pay more interest on its floating-rate deposits
than it would receive on its fixed-rate loans. BAC has imposed limits on the
level of gap mismatches that it will retain, and uses both securities and
derivatives to keep its exposure within these limits.
The table above labeled "U.S. Dollar-Denominated Interest Rate Sensitivity
By Repricing or Maturity Date" shows BAC's mismatch positions. At year-end 1995,
liabilities and equity exceeded assets by nearly $15 billion in the over five-
year repricing period. Risk management positions, including interest rate swaps
in which BAC received fixed-rate interest payments, significantly reduced this
imbalance. The negative net position in the under six-months repricing period
reflects the pay-floating side of these swaps.
BankAmerica Corporation 1995 / 41
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BAC must make a number of estimates and assumptions to calculate its
exposure to gap risk and develop the table described on page 40. For example,
BAC estimates deposit maturities based on its expectations about future market
interest rate movements and its customers' reactions to those movements.
Similarly, adjustable-rate mortgage repricings reflect the existence of periodic
interest rate caps, floors, and lifetime ceilings, as well as an estimated
amount of loan prepayments. Finally, for purposes of estimating gap risk, BAC
assumes that its common stock outstanding is an intermediate- to long-term
source of funds.
Overall, management measures gap risk by modeling potential changes in
economic value across a range of upward and downward interest rate scenarios
that encompass over 99 percent of statistically probable occurrences. This model
recognizes that longer-maturity gap mismatches pose greater risk to economic
value. Based on this analysis, management believes that BAC's maximum economic
value exposure attributable to gap positions represented less than 1 percent of
common equity at December 31, 1995.
The near term earnings exposure to gap positions is evaluated in the
context of upward and downward interest rate changes assumed to occur ratably
over a twelve-month period. This calculation indicated that, as of December 31,
1995, an adverse change in interest rates of 200 basis points would have reduced
forecasted annual after-tax earnings by less than 1 percent per year for each of
the next three years.
Options and Index Risk Management--In addition to gap risk, two other
significant sources of interest rate risk for BAC are options mismatches and
index mismatches. Both of these exposures primarily arise from BAC's lending and
deposit-taking activities.
Options commonly exist in BAC's retail banking products (e.g., mortgage
loans, retail deposits) and generally work to the customer's advantage. These
options are often referred to as "embedded options" and examples include limits
on floating-rate loan and deposit repricings (i.e., interest rate caps and
floors), loan prepayment rights, and depositors' ability to withdraw certain
deposits on demand.
Index mismatches relate to floating-rate assets and floating-rate
liabilities that may reprice simultaneously, but that are not tied to the same
index. This risk arises from fluctuating spreads between various indices to
which floating rates are tied (e.g., prime rate, commercial paper rate, London
interbank offered rate (LIBOR), U.S. Treasury rate).
BAC measures options and index risk by developing models based on actual
historical patterns of changes in interest rate levels, yield curve shapes, and
index spreads. Similar to the gap risk analysis, BAC must make a number of
estimates and assumptions in the process. For example, risk is measured assuming
existing embedded options and index mismatch positions will be open throughout
the lives of the related assets and liabilities, a period that can be as long as
30 years. This is consistent with the expectation that loans and deposits will
be held to maturity.
BAC then simulates numerous scenarios using a Monte Carlo statistical
process. Scenarios generated by this process cover an array of possible future
rate levels, yield curve slopes, index spreads, and rates of change in these
scenarios. This process includes a representative number of scenarios that
diverge widely from market expectations. This process ensures that the range and
probability of the potential financial effects presented by options and index
positions are measured in the context of a comprehensive mix of possible future
interest rate scenarios. For each simulated scenario, BAC separately models and
values cash flows attributable to options and index mismatches. Risk is measured
based on the deviation of individual scenario values from the average value of
all scenarios.
Based on this analysis, at year-end 1995, there was a 75 percent
probability that BAC's loss of economic value would not exceed 2 percent of
common equity. At 90 percent and 99 percent probability levels, the analysis
indicated maximum losses of 5 percent and 9 percent, respectively, of common
equity. Management believes that these losses, if realized, would be distributed
over several years.
Residual option and index risk is unavoidable because it reflects the
individual decisions of many individual customers, and because the hedging
products available to BAC may not wholly protect against the kinds of risk
embedded in retail products. In addition, the risk measurement methodology
depends on predictions of customer responses, which may not match actual
customer behavior. Finally, BAC accepts a certain level of risk in situations
where the hedging costs exceed the likely realized benefits.
BAC's risk management policy only permits transactions that reduce options
risk. Accordingly, BAC does not use written options (which expose an institution
to unlimited loss potential), either free-standing or embedded in off-balance-
sheet products, for risk management purposes. At December 31, 1995, BAC's
purchased option contracts, which reduce option risk, had a gross notional value
of $9.2 billion.

Liquidity Risk Management
Overview
Liquidity risk is the possibility that BAC's cash flows may not be adequate to
fund operations and meet commitments on a timely and cost-effective basis. Since
liquidity risk is closely linked to both credit and market risk, many of the
previously discussed market risk limits, risk control mechanisms, and market and
product participation limitations also apply to the monitoring and managing of
liquidity risk.
Fundamental to the management of liquidity is the coordination of relative
maturities of assets and liabilities. Through BAC's ability to raise funds in
money and capital markets, it can tap a broad variety of funding mechanisms,
providing flexibility in managing liquidity and mitigating the potential for
liquidity risk.
ALFI determines the nature and extent of BAC's on- and off-balance-sheet
activities and products. ALFI seeks to balance BAC's sources and uses of funds
while minimizing market exposure. In this capacity, ALFI places limits on the
level of investments in various assets and off-balance-sheet instruments, as
well as on funding levels for wholesale and other deposits.
BAC manages its liquidity at both the parent and subsidiaries levels. The
parent is funded primarily by debt and equity issues, as well as by dividend and
interest income from its subsidiaries. BAC may issue common stock, preferred
stock, commercial paper, and senior and subordinated debt from time to time when
market conditions are judged appropriate in light of funding and capital needs.
For direct banking subsidiaries, the primary source of funding is domestic
retail deposits. Additional funding support is available to selected banking
subsidiaries through the issuance of bank notes. Subsidiary funding is also
available through lines of credit between banking subsidiaries and the bank and
between nonbanking subsidiaries and the parent company.
BAC's liquid assets consist of cash and short-term borrowings due from
banks, interest-bearing deposits in banks, federal funds sold, securities
purchased under resale agreements, trading account assets and available-for-sale
securities. Among funding sources are core deposits, capital market funds and
purchased money-market liabilities. Core deposits include domestic interest- and
noninterest-bearing retail deposits, which historically have been a relatively
stable source of funds. Capital market funds include long-term debt,
subordinated capital notes and common and preferred equity. Purchased money-
market liabilities primarily include overseas time deposits, federal funds
purchased, securities sold under repurchase agreements and other short-term
borrowings. As discussed on page 26, BAC experienced a shift in its funding
structure during 1994 and 1995. The credit ratings of BAC and its subsidiaries
influence the cost and availability of funding sources.
Liquidity Review
Various factors affected BAC's liquidity during 1995 and 1994. During 1995,
total loan originations and purchases exceeded principal collections, resulting
in a cash outflow of $16.1 billion. Conversely, total sales, maturities,
prepayments, and calls of securities exceeded total purchases, resulting in a
cash inflow of $2.4 billion. In total, the above transactions resulted in a net
cash outflow of $13.7 billion.
In 1994, a net cash outflow of $3.3 billion resulted from these same
activities, as total loan originations and purchases exceeded principal
collections by $8.4 billion and total sales, maturities, prepayments, and calls
of investment securities exceeded purchases by $5.1 billion.
During both 1995 and 1994, BAC's liquidity was also enhanced by proceeds
from sales of loans, totaling $2.0 billion and $1.5 billion, respectively. These
loan sales consisted primarily of loans that were not originated or acquired
with the intent to sell but were sold due to various economic factors, including
significant movements in interest rates, changes in the maturity mix of BAC's
assets and liabilities, liquidity demands, regulatory capital considerations,
and other similar factors.
In addition, in both 1995 and 1994, the parent paid dividends of $911
million and $819 million, respectively, to its preferred and common
stockholders. For information concerning dividend and loan restrictions, refer
to Note 24 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements on pages 79-81.
Operational and Settlement Risk Management
Operational risk is the risk of unexpected losses attributable to human error,
systems failures, fraud, or inadequate internal controls and procedures.
Mitigating this risk are systems and procedures to monitor transactions and
positions, documentation of transactions, regulatory compliance review, and
periodic review by internal auditors. Reconciliation procedures are also in
place to ensure that systems capture critical data. In addition, BAC maintains
contingency systems for operations support in the event of natural disasters.
Settlement risk is the exposure to loss arising when an institution either
pays out funds or delivers assets before receiving assets or payment from its
counterparty. BAC mitigates settlement risk through credit limits for each
counterparty, and, wherever possible, the use of legally enforceable novation or
settlement netting agreements.

Capital Management
Capital represents the stockholders' investment on which BAC strives to generate
attractive returns. BAC's capital position continued to strengthen during 1995.
At December 31, 1995, stockholders' equity totaled $20.2 billion, up $1.3
billion, or 7 percent, from year-end 1994. Common equity increased $1.8 billion
during 1995, while preferred stock declined by approximately $0.5 billion.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Common equity increased $1.8 billion due to 1995 earnings net of preferred
and common stock dividends. In addition, common equity increased $0.5 billion
due to the following stock issuances. During the first quarter of 1995, 2.9
million shares of stock were issued in connection with the acquisition of Arbor
National Holdings, Inc., and during the second quarter of 1995, 5.4 million
shares of stock were issued in connection with the conversion of 99 percent of
BAC's 6 1/2% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, Series G to common stock.
Also, valuation adjustments to net unrealized gain (loss) on available-for-sale
securities resulted in a $327 million increase in common equity. These increases
in common equity were offset by the common stock repurchases discussed as
follows.
In connection with its previously announced stock repurchase program, the
parent repurchased 16.6 million shares of its common stock during 1995 at an
average per-share price of $53.83, which reduced common equity by $894 million.
These shares were repurchased on the open market over 113 trading days and
represented approximately 10 percent of the total volume of BAC common stock
traded on those days. For additional information regarding the stock repurchase
plan, refer to Note 13 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements on
page 63.
The decline in the parent's preferred stock resulted from the redemption of
all outstanding shares of the 11% Cumulative Fixed Preferred Stock, Series I, on
September 30, 1995, and the conversion of the 6 1/2% Cumulative Convertible
Preferred Stock, Series G and redemption of the Adjustable Rate Preferred Stock,
Series 1 during the second quarter of 1995. For additional information regarding
these preferred stock transactions, refer to Note 15 of the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements on pages 64-65.

The common stock repurchases and preferred stock redemptions described
above reflect BAC's strong capital position and commitment to return excess
capital to its shareholders. Supported by the growth of the capital base, on
February 5, 1996, BAC's Board of Directors declared an increase in the quarterly
dividend on common stock from $0.46 per share to $0.54 per share. The dividend
is payable on March 12, 1996 to shareholders of record on February 20, 1996. In
addition, the Board authorized the redemption of all outstanding shares of the
parent's 11% Cumulative Fixed Preferred Stock, Series J. This redemption will
occur on March 31, 1996.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The parent and its domestic banking subsidiaries are subject to risk-based
capital regulations. Bank regulatory authorities use these guidelines to
evaluate capital adequacy based on an institution's asset risk profile and off-
balance-sheet exposures, such as unused loan commitments, standby letters of
credit, and foreign exchange and derivatives contracts.
The Federal Reserve has established guidelines that certain banking
organizations are required to maintain a minimum 8 percent total risk-based
capital ratio (the ratio of total capital divided by risk-weighted assets),
including a Tier 1 capital ratio of at least 4 percent. The risk-based capital
rules have been further supplemented by the leverage ratio, defined as Tier 1
capital divided by average total assets, after certain adjustments.
BankAmerica Corporation 1995 / 45
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The minimum leverage ratio is 3 percent for banking organizations that do not
anticipate significant growth and have well-diversified-risk (including no undue
interest rate risk exposure), excellent asset quality, high liquidity, and good
earnings. Other banking organizations not in this category are expected to have
ratios well above the minimums, depending on their particular condition and
growth plans. Higher capital ratios could also be required if warranted by the
particular circumstances or risk profile of a given banking organization. In the
current regulatory environment, banking companies must stay well capitalized to
receive favorable regulatory treatment of acquisition and other expansion
activities and favorable risk-based deposit insurance assessments. It is BAC's
policy to maintain capital ratios for both the parent and its domestic banking
subsidiaries above the regulatory well-capitalized levels, which are 10 percent
for the total risk-based capital ratio, 6 percent for the Tier 1 capital ratio,
and 5 percent for the Tier 1 leverage ratio.

1993 1994 1995
------------------------------
Tier 1 7.5% 7.3% 7.4%
Total 11.9% 11.7% 11.5%
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 requires
all federal banking agencies to incorporate interest rate risk into their risk-
based capital framework. Until all final interest rate risk regulations have
been issued, BAC will be unable to determine the effect of such regulations on
its regulatory capital ratios or those of its subsidiary banks.
At December 31, 1995, BAC's total risk-based capital ratio decreased 21
basis points from the amount reported at year-end 1994. This decline was
primarily due to an increase in total risk-weighted assets, in particular, loans
and off-balance-sheet credit-related financial instruments. BAC's Tier 1
leverage ratio was 6.92 percent at December 31, 1995, up from 6.74 percent at
year-end 1994.
On an ongoing basis, BAC evaluates and modifies its mix of capital sources,
including debt, equity, and off-balance-sheet financing arrangements, taking
into consideration various factors. Such factors include regulatory capital
targets, as well as the cost of capital, which are influenced by prevailing
interest rates and credit risk. BAC's capital mix may vary from time to time in
response to changes in these factors.
To determine the level of capital appropriate to BAC's various lines of
business, an economic capital framework has been developed to promote the
efficient deployment of capital. This framework encompasses credit, liquidity,
market, country, and operating business risks, and is a key tool utilized to
ensure that capital resources are allocated to businesses in proportion to the
economic risks they incur and the returns they generate.

Consolidated Financial Statements

[Computer icons depicting the Financial Review, Consolidated Financial
Statements, and Corporate Information sections of the Annual Report with the
Consolidated Financial Statements icon highlighted appears here]
Report of Management
The management of BankAmerica Corporation and its subsidiaries has
responsibility for the preparation, integrity, and reliability of the financial
statements and related financial information contained in this annual report.
The financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles and prevailing practices of the banking industry and
include necessary judgments and estimates by management.
Management has established and is responsible for maintaining an internal
control environment designed to provide reasonable assurance as to the integrity
and reliability of the financial statements, the protection of assets, and the
prevention and detection of fraudulent financial reporting. The internal control
environment includes: an effective financial accounting structure; a
comprehensive internal audit function; an independent auditing and examining
committee (the committee) of the Board of Directors; and extensive financial and
operating policies and procedures. BAC's management also fosters an ethical
climate supported by a code of conduct, appropriate levels of management
authority and responsibility, an effective corporate organizational structure,
and appropriate selection and training of personnel.
The Board of Directors, primarily through the committee, oversees the
adequacy of BAC's control environment. The committee, whose members are neither
officers nor employees of BAC, meets periodically with management, internal
auditors, credit examination officers, and the independent auditors to review
the functioning of each and to ensure that each is properly discharging its
responsibilities.
BAC's financial statements are audited by Ernst & Young LLP, BAC's
independent auditors, whose audit is made in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards and includes such audit procedures as they consider necessary
to express the opinion in their report that follows. In addition, Ernst & Young
LLP reviews BAC's quarterly financial information. A review is substantially
less in scope than an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards and, accordingly, Ernst & Young LLP does not express an opinion on the
quarterly financial information. Ernst & Young LLP meets regularly with
management as well as the committee to discuss its audit and its findings as to
the integrity of the financial statements and the adequacy of the internal
controls.
Management recognizes that there are inherent limitations in the
effectiveness of any internal control environment. However, management believes
that, as of December 31, 1995, BAC's internal control environment, as described
above, provided reasonable assurance as to the integrity and reliability of the
financial statements and related financial information.

Report of Independent Auditors
Shareholders and Board of Directors
BankAmerica Corporation
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of BankAmerica
Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity, and cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995. These
financial statements are the responsibility of BankAmerica Corporation's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of BankAmerica
Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the
consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 1995 in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Significant Accounting Policies
The consolidated financial statements of BankAmerica Corporation and
subsidiaries (BAC) are prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles and prevailing practices of the banking industry. The statements also
reflect specialized industry accounting practices of certain nonbanking
subsidiaries that may differ from those used by banking subsidiaries. The
following is a summary of the significant accounting and reporting policies used
in preparing the consolidated financial statements.
Financial Statement Presentation
The consolidated financial statements of BAC include the accounts of BankAmerica
Corporation (the parent) and companies in which more than 50 percent of the
voting stock is owned directly or indirectly by the parent, including Bank of
America NT&SA (the bank), Bank of America Illinois, Seattle-First National Bank
(SFNB), and other banking and nonbanking subsidiaries. The revenues, expenses,
assets, and liabilities of the subsidiaries are included in the respective line
items in the consolidated financial statements after elimination of intercompany
accounts and transactions.
BAC's results of operations reflect the effects of the merger with
Continental Bank Corporation (Continental) subsequent to its consummation on
August 31, 1994.
The consolidated statement of cash flows explains the change in cash and
due from banks as disclosed in the consolidated balance sheet. The cash flows
from hedging transactions are classified in the same category as the cash flows
from the items being hedged.
Certain amounts in prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the
current presentation.
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements of BAC requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts. These
estimates are based on information available as of the date of the financial
statements. Therefore, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Trading Account Assets
Trading account assets, which are generally held for the short term in
anticipation of market gains and for resale, are carried at their fair value.
Realized and unrealized gains and losses on trading account assets are included
in trading income.
Available-for-Sale and Held-to-Maturity Securities
BAC's securities portfolios include U.S. Treasury and other government agency
securities, mortgage-backed securities, state, county, municipal, and foreign
government securities, equity securities and corporate debt securities.
Effective January 1, 1994, BAC adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities," (SFAS No. 115). SFAS No. 115 permits debt securities for which BAC
has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity to be classified as
held-to-maturity and reported at amortized cost. Debt securities that BAC may
not hold to maturity and marketable equity securities are classified as
available-for-sale securities if they are not considered to be part of trading-
related activities. Available-for-sale securities are reported at their fair
values, with unrealized gains and losses reported on a net-of-tax basis as a
separate component of stockholders' equity. Prior to the adoption of SFAS No.
115, available-for-sale securities were carried at the lower of amortized cost
or market value. Prior period amounts have not been restated since SFAS No. 115
does not allow retroactive application.
Dividend and interest income, including amortization of premiums and
accretion of discounts, for both securities portfolios are included in interest
income.
Realized gains and losses generated from sales of available-for-sale
securities are recorded in net gain on available-for-sale securities and are
computed using the specific identification method. Any decision to sell
available-for-sale securities would be based on various factors, including
movements in interest rates, changes in the maturity mix of BAC's assets and
liabilities, liquidity demands, regulatory capital considerations, and other
similar factors.
Loans
Loans are generally carried at the principal amount outstanding net of unearned
discounts. Interest income on discounted loans is generally recognized using
methods that approximate the interest method, which provides a level rate of
return over a loan's term.
Loans, in addition to those originated or acquired with the intent to sell,
may be sold prior to maturity due to various economic factors, including
significant movements in interest rates, changes in the maturity mix of BAC's
assets and liabilities, liquidity demands, regulatory capital considerations,
and other similar factors. These loans are recorded at the lower of cost or fair
value when they are identified as being held for sale. The fair value of loans
being held for sale represents the cash price anticipated to be received in a
current sale.
BankAmerica Corporation 1995 / 53
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Loans are generally placed on nonaccrual status when full payment of
principal or interest is in doubt, or when they are past due 90 days as to
either principal or interest. The past due period for nonaccrual status is 180
days for residential real estate loans and certain consumer loans that are
collateralized by junior mortgages on residential real estate. Senior management
may grant a waiver from nonaccrual status if a past due loan is well secured and
in the process of collection. A nonaccrual loan may be restored to accrual
status when all principal and interest amounts contractually due, including
arrearages, are reasonably assured of repayment within a reasonable period, and
there is a sustained period of payment performance by the borrower in accordance
with the contractual terms of the loan.
When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, interest accrued but not
received is reversed against interest income. If management determines that
ultimate collectibility of principal is in doubt, cash receipts on nonaccrual
loans are applied to reduce the principal balance.
BAC provides equipment financing to its customers through a variety of
lease arrangements. Direct financing leases are carried at the aggregate of
lease payments receivable plus estimated residual value less unearned income.
Unearned income on direct financing leases is amortized over the lease terms by
methods that approximate the interest method. Leveraged leases, which are a form
of financing lease, are carried net of nonrecourse debt. Unearned income on
leveraged leases is amortized over the lease terms by methods that approximate
the interest method.
Allowance for Credit Losses
The allowance for credit losses is a reserve for estimated credit losses and
other credit-related charges. Actual credit losses and other charges, net of
recoveries, are deducted from the allowance for credit losses. Other charges to
the allowance include amounts related to loans and loans of subsidiaries and
operations that were transferred to other assets. In addition, the difference
between the carrying value of restructuring country assets sold or swapped and
the fair value of assets received is charged to the allowance. A provision for
credit losses, which is a charge against earnings, is added to the allowance
based on a quarterly assessment of the portfolio. While management has
attributed reserves to various portfolio segments, the allowance is general in
nature and is available for the credit portfolio in its entirety.
Effective January 1, 1995, BAC adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 114 , "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan," as
amended (SFAS No. 114), which requires loans to be measured for impairment using
one of three methods when it is probable that all amounts, including principal
and interest, will not be collected in accordance with the contractual terms of
the loan agreement. The amount of impairment and any subsequent changes are
recorded through the provision for credit losses as an adjustment to the
allowance for credit losses. SFAS No. 114 applies to all loans, whether
collateralized or uncollateralized, except for large groups of smaller-balance,
homogeneous loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment (domestic
consumer nonaccrual loans), loans that are measured at fair value or at the
lower of cost or fair value, leases, and debt securities. In addition, BAC
excludes loans to foreign governments and official institutions from the scope
of SFAS No. 114, as these loans are collectively evaluated and reserves are
established based upon allocated transfer risk reserve factors. Finally, loans
restructured prior to the effective date of SFAS No. 114 that are performing in
accordance with their restructured terms are not evaluated for impairment under
SFAS No. 114.
As required by SFAS No. 114, BAC generally measures impairment based upon
the present value of a loan's expected future cash flows, except where
foreclosure or liquidation is probable or when the primary source of repayment
is provided by real estate collateral. In these circumstances, impairment is
measured based upon the fair value of the collateral less estimated selling and
disposal costs. The present value of a loan's expected future cash flows is
calculated using the loan's effective interest rate based on the original
contractual terms. In addition, when quoted market prices are available,
impairment is based on the loan's observable market value less estimated selling
and disposal costs. Generally, BAC evaluates a loan for impairment in accordance
with SFAS No. 114 when it is placed on nonaccrual status and a portion is
internally risk rated as substandard or doubtful. Substantially all of BAC's
impaired loans are on nonaccrual status.
The adoption of SFAS No. 114 had no impact on the overall allowance for
credit losses and did not affect BAC's charge-off or income recognition
policies.
Premises and Equipment
Premises, equipment, and leasehold improvements are carried at cost, less
accumulated depreciation and amortization computed on a straight-line basis over
the estimated useful lives of the assets or the terms of the leases. Net gains
and losses on disposal or retirement of premises and equipment are included in
net gain on sales of assets.
54 / BankAmerica Corporation 1995
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Other Real Estate Owned
Other real estate owned (OREO), which is recorded in other assets, includes
properties acquired through foreclosure or in full or partial satisfaction of
the related loan, as well as properties that are nonperforming acquisition,
development, and construction arrangements. OREO also includes loans where BAC
has obtained physical possession of the related collateral.
OREO is carried at the lower of fair value, net of estimated selling and
disposal costs, or cost. Fair value adjustments are made at the time that real
estate is acquired through foreclosure or when full or partial satisfaction of
the related loan is received. These fair value adjustments are treated as credit
losses. Changes in estimated selling and disposal costs, routine holding costs,
subsequent declines in fair values, and net gains or losses on disposal of
properties classified as OREO are included in other expense as incurred.
Goodwill and Identifiable Intangibles
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair
value of identifiable net assets associated with BAC's merger and acquisition
transactions. Goodwill is amortized on a straight-line basis over 25 years.
Core deposit intangibles (CDI) represent the intangible value of depositor
relationships resulting from deposit liabilities assumed in acquisitions and are
amortized using an accelerated method based on the expected runoff of the
related deposits. Other identifiable intangibles consist primarily of credit
card intangibles (CCI), and, prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 122 as discussed
below, purchased mortgage servicing rights (PMSR). CCI represents the intangible
value of credit card customer relationships resulting from customer balances
acquired. PMSR represented the intangible value of purchased rights to service
mortgage loans. Other identifiable intangibles are amortized using accelerated
methods over their estimated periods of benefit.
Goodwill and identifiable intangibles are assessed quarterly for other-
than-temporary impairment. Should such an assessment indicate that the value of
goodwill may be impaired, an evaluation of the recoverability would be performed
prior to any writedown of the assets. If the net book value of identifiable
intangibles were to exceed their respective undiscounted future net cash flows,
identifiable intangibles would be written down to their respective undiscounted
future net cash flows.
Mortgage Servicing Rights
Effective October 1, 1995, BAC adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 122, "Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights" (SFAS No. 122),
which amended Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 65, "Accounting
for Certain Mortgage Banking Activities." SFAS No. 122 requires that mortgage
servicing rights (MSR) be capitalized when acquired either through the purchase
or origination of mortgage loans that are subsequently sold or securitized with
the servicing rights retained and when the relative fair values of the loans and
the related MSR can be estimated. Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 122, BAC
capitalized only PMSR.
SFAS No. 122 requires an enterprise, on a periodic basis, to assess the
capitalized MSR for impairment based on the fair value of those rights. For this
analysis, SFAS No. 122 requires an entity to stratify its MSR based on one or
more predominant risk characteristics and any resulting impairment is to be
recognized through a valuation allowance for each impaired stratum.
For purposes of measuring impairment, BAC stratifies its MSR by loan type,
investor type, and interest rate for those rights acquired after the adoption of
SFAS No. 122 and by acquisition date for those rights acquired prior to its
adoption. The MSR are included in other assets and are amortized as an offset to
other fees and commissions in proportion to and over the period of estimated net
servicing income not to exceed 15 years. The adoption of SFAS No. 122 did not
have a material effect on BAC's financial position or results of operations.
Investments in Affiliates, Joint Ventures, and Other Entities
Investments in affiliates, joint ventures, and other entities are recorded in
other assets. Investments in affiliates, which are generally 20-to-50-percent-
owned companies, and joint ventures are generally accounted for by the equity
method. BAC's share of net income or loss from these investments is recorded in
other income. Gains or losses resulting from issuances of stock by an equity
affiliate that change BAC's percentage of ownership are recognized at the issue
date and are recorded in other income. Dividends are recorded as a reduction of
the carrying value of the investment when received.
Investments in other entities (less-than-20-percent-owned companies) are
generally carried at cost less writedowns for declines in value judged to be
other than temporary. These valuation losses are recorded in other income when
incurred. Dividends are recorded in other income when received.
Offsetting of Amounts Related to Certain Contracts
Unrealized gains on forward, swap, option, and other conditional or exchange
contracts are recorded as assets and unrealized losses on these contracts are
recorded as liabilities for trading instruments. However, unrealized gains and
losses with the same counterparty may be netted when contracts are executed
under legally enforceable master netting agreements. BAC nets unrealized gains
and losses on these contracts to the extent allowed.
Foreign Exchange and Derivatives Contracts
BAC uses foreign exchange and derivatives contracts in both its trading and
asset and liability management activities.
BankAmerica Corporation 1995 / 55
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Trading Activities
Interest rate derivative contracts, primarily swaps, and foreign exchange
contracts, which include spot, futures, forward, swap, and option positions used
in BAC's trading activities are carried at market value. The resulting realized
and unrealized gains and losses are recognized in trading income.
Asset and Liability Management Activities
BAC uses various types of derivative contracts to manage interest rate and
foreign currency exposures. When these instruments meet certain criteria, they
qualify for hedge accounting treatment and are accounted for either on a
deferral, accrual, or mark-to-market basis, depending on the nature of BAC's
hedge strategy and the method used to account for the hedged item. Examples of
hedge criteria include demonstrating how the hedge will reduce risk, identifying
the specific asset, liability, or firm commitment being hedged, and citing the
time horizon being hedged. On an ongoing basis, hedge effectiveness tests (e.g.,
correlation tests) must be performed to determine if an instrument meets the
objectives of the hedge strategy and for hedge accounting to continue.
Under deferral and accrual accounting, if at any time the derivative
contract no longer qualifies for hedge accounting treatment, it must be marked
to market on a prospective basis. Any deferred gain or loss (or unrealized gain
or loss) is amortized over the original hedge period. Similarly, gains and
losses on terminated hedging instruments are accounted for in this manner. If
the item being hedged is sold, hedge accounting is terminated. Any deferred or
unrealized amounts are treated as part of the carrying value of the item being
hedged and, therefore, considered in calculating the gain or loss on the sold
item. If the related derivative contract is not terminated, it must be marked to
market on a prospective basis.
Deferral Accounting - BAC accounts for derivative financial instruments on a
deferral basis when the market value of the hedging instrument fulfills the
objectives of the hedge strategy, and the carrying value of the hedged item is
other than fair value.
Interest Rate Contracts - Under deferral accounting, for hedges of existing
assets or liabilities, realized and unrealized gains and losses on the
hedging instrument are recorded as an adjustment to the carrying value of
the hedged item and amortized to the interest income or expense account
related to the hedged item.
BAC accounts for futures and forward rate agreements on a deferral
basis. Deferred gains and losses are reported as adjustments to the
carrying values of loans, deposits, and long-term debt. The amortization of
these deferred gains and losses is reported in the corresponding interest
income and interest expense accounts.
Initial margin deposits for exchange-traded instruments are reported
in other assets. Fees and commissions received or paid are deferred and
recognized as an adjustment to the carrying value of the hedged item,
consistent with the recognition of gains and losses on the hedging
instrument.
Foreign Exchange Contracts - Realized and unrealized gains and losses on
instruments that hedge firm commitments are deferred and included in the
measurement of the subsequent transaction; however, losses are deferred
only to the extent of expected gains on the future commitment. Fees and
commissions received or paid related to firm commitments are included in
the measurement of the transaction when it occurs.
Accrual Accounting - BAC accounts for derivative financial instruments on an
accrual basis when the cash flows generated from the hedging instrument fulfill
the objectives of the hedge strategy.
Under accrual accounting, interest income or expense on the hedging
instrument is accrued and recorded as an adjustment to the interest income or
expense related to the hedged item. BAC accounts for certain interest rate swaps
and purchased interest rate option contracts (caps and floors) on an accrual
basis. Interest income or expense on derivative financial instruments accounted
for using accrual accounting are reported in interest income-loans, interest
expense-deposits, and interest expense-long-term debt.
Initial margin deposits for exchange-traded instruments are reported in
other assets. Fees and commissions received or paid on interest rate swaps are
deferred and amortized as an adjustment to the interest income or expense
related to the hedged item over the term of the swap. Premiums paid for interest
rate options are deferred as a prepaid expense and are amortized to interest
income or expense over the term of the cap or floor.
Mark-to-Market Accounting - BAC accounts for derivative financial instruments on
a mark-to-market basis when the market value of the hedging instrument fulfills
the objectives of the hedge strategy, and the carrying value of the hedged item
is fair value.
Under mark-to-market accounting, realized and unrealized gains and losses
on the hedging instrument are reflected in the line items being hedged and
recognized when they occur in conjunction with the gains and losses on the
hedged item.
BAC accounts for certain interest rate swaps designated as hedges of
available-for-sale securities on a mark-to-market basis. The accrual of interest
payable and interest receivable on these interest rate swaps are reported in
interest income-available-for-sale securities. Changes in the market values of
these interest rate swaps, exclusive of net interest accruals, are reported in
stockholders' equity on a net-of-tax basis.
56 / BankAmerica Corporation 1995
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Foreign Currency Translation
Assets, liabilities, and operations of foreign branches and subsidiaries are
recorded based on the functional currency of each entity. For the majority of
the foreign operations, the functional currency is the local currency, in which
case the assets, liabilities, and operations are translated, for consolidation
purposes, at current exchange rates from the local currency to the reporting
currency, the U.S. dollar. The resulting gains or losses are reported as a
component of retained earnings within stockholders' equity on a net-of-tax
basis. In certain other instances, including hyperinflationary economies, the
functional currency used to measure the financial statements of a foreign entity
is the U.S. dollar. In these instances, the resulting gains and losses are
included in trading income, except for those of units in hyperinflationary
economies, which are included in other income.
Provision for Income Taxes
The parent files a consolidated U.S. federal income tax return and consolidated
or combined returns for certain states, including California. State, local, and
foreign income tax returns are filed according to the taxable activity of each
unit.
The liability method of accounting is used for income taxes. Under the
liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the
expected future tax consequences of existing differences between financial
reporting and tax reporting bases of assets and liabilities, as well as for
operating losses and tax credit carryforwards, using enacted tax laws and rates.
Deferred tax expense represents the net change in the deferred tax asset or
liability balance during the year. This amount, together with income taxes
currently payable or refundable for the current year, represents the total
income tax expense for the year.
2. Nature of Operations
BAC, through its banking and other subsidiaries, provides banking and other
financial services throughout the United States and in selected international
markets to consumers and business customers, including corporations,
governments, and other institutions. BAC manages its operations through five
major business sectors -- Consumer Banking, U.S. Corporate and International
Banking, Commercial Real Estate, Middle Market Banking, and Private Banking and
Investment Services, ranked, for the purpose of the following discussion, in
order of their contribution to net income.
Consumer Banking provides a full array of deposit and loan products to
individuals and small businesses through branches, ATMs, phones, and other
delivery channels throughout ten western states and through in-store ATMs in the
Chicago metropolitan area. It also provides credit card, home mortgage,
manufactured housing financing, and consumer finance products throughout the
United States, and a range of consumer banking products and services in Hong
Kong, India, Taiwan, Singapore, and the Philippines.
U.S. Corporate and International Banking provides capital-raising services,
trade finance, cash management, investment banking, capital markets products,
and financial advisory services to large public-and private-sector institutions
that are part of the global economy, through offices in 37 countries in North
and South America, Asia, Europe, Africa, and the Middle East.
The Commercial Real Estate group provides credit and other financial
services to a variety of real estate market segments, including developers,
investors, pension fund advisors, real estate investment trusts, and property
managers. Local clients are served through offices across California and in ten
other states. National clients, such as publicly traded corporations and private
entities, are served through offices in California and Chicago.
Middle-Market Banking provides a full range of financial products and
services to companies with annual revenues between $5 million and $250 million.
BAC serves middle-market customers throughout the West and in the Midwest.
The Private Bank provides a broad range of banking, personal trust, and
investment services to high-net-worth clients worldwide who require specialized
personal services. Investment Services encompasses BAC's investment management,
brokerage, and mutual fund activities. The two businesses use BAC's domestic
network of branches and other delivery points, securities brokers, international
offices, and correspondent banking relationships throughout the world to address
the wealth management needs of their customers.
3. Merger with Continental Bank Corporation
On August 31, 1994, Continental was merged with and into the parent, and
Continental's principal subsidiary, Continental Bank, was renamed Bank of
America Illinois. Each outstanding share of Continental's common stock was
converted into either 0.7993 of a share of the parent's common stock or $38.297
in cash. In connection with the Continental merger, the parent issued 21.5
million shares of common stock valued at $985 million on January 27, 1994, the
day preceding the announcement of the merger. The 21.5 million shares issued
included 11.8 million shares of treasury stock purchased in anticipation of the
merger at an average per-share price of $42.43. The aggregate amount of cash
paid to Continental common stockholders was approximately $950 million.
In addition, each outstanding share of Continental's Adjustable Rate
Preferred Stock, Series 1 and Adjustable Rate
BankAmerica Corporation 1995 / 57
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series 2 was converted upon consummation of the
Continental merger, into one share of the parent's Adjustable Rate Preferred
Stock, Series 1 (Preferred Stock, Series 1) and Adjustable Rate Cumulative
Preferred Stock, Series 2 (Preferred Stock, Series 2), respectively, having
substantially the same terms. The parent's preferred stock issued in connection
with the Continental merger was valued at $415 million, based on market factors
as of January 27, 1994. On December 5, 1994, the Preferred Stock, Series 2 was
redeemed by the parent. On May 31, 1995, the parent redeemed its Preferred
Stock, Series 1. Refer to Note 15 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements on pages 64 and 65 for further information on these redemptions.
Continental was a Delaware corporation organized in 1968 and was registered
as a bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as
amended, and the Illinois Bank Holding Company Act of 1957. Continental provided
an extensive range of commercial banking and financial services, primarily in
the Midwest, but also throughout the United States and in various overseas
markets.
The Continental merger was recorded by the parent during the third quarter
of 1994 using the purchase method of accounting in accordance with Accounting
Principles Board Opinion (APB) No. 16, "Business Combinations." Under this
method of accounting, the purchase price was allocated to assets acquired and
liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at consummation.
Merger-related expenses of $50 million were accrued during 1994 to reflect
management's best estimate of separation and benefits costs related to pre-
merger BAC employees, employment assistance costs for separated employees of
pre-merger BAC, and other expenses of pre-merger BAC associated with the
Continental merger.
Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Summary of Operations
The following table presents an unaudited pro forma combined summary of
operations of BAC and Continental for the years ended December 31, 1994 and
1993. The Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Summary of Operations is presented as if
the Continental merger had been effective January 1, 1993.
This information combines the historical results of operations of BAC and
Continental after giving effect to amortization of purchase accounting
adjustments. This summary excludes an $80 million cumulative effect of
accounting change for income taxes recognized by Continental for the year ended
December 31, 1993.
The Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Summary of Operations is based on BAC's
historical results of operations for the year ended December 31, 1994, which

bined operations from the Continental merger date forward. Accordingly, BAC's
earnings for the period September 1, 1994 through December 31, 1994 included
revenues and expenses related to former Continental operations, as well as the
amortization of purchase accounting adjustments, such as fair value adjustments,
goodwill, and identifiable intangibles.
The combined historical results of operations of BAC and Continental were
adjusted to reflect the amortization of the fair value adjustments and other
purchase accounting adjustments recorded in connection with the Continental
merger, including those related to available-for-sale securities, loans,
goodwill, identifiable intangibles, deposits, and long-term debt. Amortization
was calculated based on the methods and periods of benefit determined
appropriate by management. The historical income statement information for the
year ended December 31, 1993 was adjusted to include amortization for the full
period.

During the fourth quarter of 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
allowed financial statement preparers a one-time opportunity to reassess the
classifications of securities accounted for under SFAS No. 115. As a result of
this reassessment, BAC reclassified $2.1 billion of held-to-maturity securities
to available-for-sale securities. In connection with this reclassification,
gross unrealized gains of $28 million and gross unrealized losses of $42 million
were recorded in available-for-sale securities and in stockholders' equity (on a
net-of-tax basis).
During 1994, as a result of the Continental acquisition, $2.5 billion of
BAC's held-to-maturity securities were transferred to available-for-sale
securities to enable BAC to maintain its pre-merger interest rate risk position.
As a result of this transfer, gross unrealized losses of $145 million and gross
unrealized gains of $22 million were recorded in available-for-sale securities
and in stockholders' equity (on a net-of-tax basis).
During the year ended December 31, 1995, BAC sold available-for-sale
securities for aggregate proceeds of $2,509 million, resulting in gross realized
gains of $268 million and gross realized losses of $234 million. During the year
ended December 31, 1994, BAC sold available-for-sale securities for aggregate
proceeds of $3,019 million, resulting in gross realized gains of $94 million and
gross realized losses of $70 million. During the year ended December 31, 1993,
BAC sold available-for-sale securities for aggregate proceeds of $2,018 million,
resulting in gross realized gains of $61 million and no gross realized losses.
The following is a summary of the contractual maturities of available-for-
sale debt securities at December 31, 1995. These amounts exclude equity

Assets, primarily trading, available-for-sale, and held-to-maturity
securities, with carrying values of $10,461 million and $11,116 million at
December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively, were pledged to collateralize U.S.
government and public deposits, trust and other deposits, and repurchase
agreements.
During the year ended December 31, 1995, trading income included a net
unrealized holding gain on trading securities of $37 million. During the year
ended December 31, 1994, trading income included a net unrealized holding loss
on trading securities of $25 million. These amounts exclude the net unrealized
trading results of the parent's securities broker and dealer subsidiaries.
In connection with the January 1, 1994 adoption of SFAS No. 115, $5.6
billion of held-to-maturity securities with a fair value of $5.7 billion were
transferred to available-for-sale securities. In addition, debt restructuring
par bonds and other instruments were transferred during the first quarter of
1994 from loans to available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities with
carrying values of $1.3 billion and $1.2 billion, respectively, and fair values
of $1.0 billion each immediately prior to the transfer.
7. Other Debt Restructurings
Not included in restructured loans as described in Note 8 of the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements on pages 60 and 61 were other debt
restructurings totaling $1,657 million and $2,230 million at December 31, 1995
and 1994, respectively, with countries experiencing liquidity problems. These
amounts include securities and loans received in connection with formal debt
restructurings. Beginning in the first quarter
60 / BankAmerica Corporation 1995
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
of 1994, the majority of these instruments were classified as either available-
for-sale or held-to-maturity securities. Prior to January 1, 1994, these
instruments were classified as loans.
Included in other debt restructurings at December 31, 1995 and 1994, were
$1,416 million and $1,624 million, respectively, of par bonds issued by the
governments of Mexico and Venezuela in 1990, and Uruguay in 1991. The face
values of these par bonds at December 31, 1995 and 1994 were $1,632 million and
$2,129 million, respectively. The majority of the Mexican par bonds have a fixed
annual interest rate of 6.25 percent, and the Venezuelan and Uruguayan par bonds
each have fixed annual interest rates of 6.75 percent. The principal of these
par bonds is collateralized by zero-coupon U.S. Treasury securities, which at
maturity, will have redemption values equal to the face values of the par bonds.
The market value of the par bonds totaled $1,074 million at December 31, 1995.
The fair value of the U.S. Treasury securities collateralizing the principal of
the par bonds totaled $395 million at December 31, 1995.
Also included in other debt restructurings at December 31, 1994, were bonds
issued by the government of Brazil with a face value of $611 million. These
bonds had a carrying value and fair value of $358 million. The majority of these
bonds were obtained on April 15, 1994 when BAC exchanged then-existing Brazilian
medium- and long-term loans with an aggregate carrying value of $139 million and
an aggregate face value of $692 million plus past due accrued interest for
various bonds with a face value of $727 million. At December 31, 1994, Brazilian
bonds with face values totaling $247 million were collateralized by zero-coupon
U.S. Treasury securities, which at maturity, will have equivalent redemption
values. At December 31, 1994, the collateral had a fair value of approximately
$27 million. During 1995, these bonds were sold.
Included in the aggregate other debt restructurings discussed above were
$241 million and $248 million at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively,
related to other restructuring transactions with borrowers in Venezuela, Poland,
the Philippines, and Mexico. Interest income foregone on total other debt
restructurings was not significant in 1995 or 1994.
8. Loans
Loans are presented net of unearned income of $1,068 million and $777 million at
December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

11. Long-Term Debt
BAC's fixed-rate long-term debt of $8,182 million at December 31, 1995 matures
through 2015. At December 31, 1995 and 1994, the interest rates on fixed-rate
long-term debt ranged from 4.55% to 11.50% and from 4.55% to 14.25%,
respectively. These obligations were denominated primarily in U.S. dollars. BAC
has entered into off-balance-sheet financial instruments, primarily interest
rate swaps, with notional amounts of approximately $3 billion at December 31,
1995, to change its interest rate exposure from fixed to floating rate. At
December 31, 1995 and 1994, the weighted average interest rates on fixed-rate
long-term debt, including the effects of interest rate swaps, were 7.69% and
8.00%, respectively.
BAC's floating-rate long-term debt of $6,541 million at December 31, 1995
matures through 2004. The majority of the floating rates are based on three- and
six-month London Interbank Offer Rate (LIBOR). At December 31, 1995 and 1994,
the interest rates on floating-rate long-term debt ranged from 5.37% to 7.80%
and from 4.79% to 7.17%, respectively. These obligations were denominated
primarily in U.S. dollars. BAC has entered into off-balance-sheet financial
instruments, primarily futures, with notional amounts of approximately $4
billion at December 31, 1995, to reduce the interest rate risk by shortening the
repricing profile on floating-rate debt that reprices within one year. At
December 31, 1995 and 1994, the weighted average interest rates on floating-rate
long-term debt were 6.10% and 6.27%, respectively. The effect of futures on
floating rate long-term debt interest rates was not material.
At December 31, 1995 and 1994, $37 million and $93 million, respectively,
of subsidiary long-term debt was guaranteed by the parent.
At December 31, 1995 and 1994, $4,304 million and $3,801 million,
respectively, of long-term debt was redeemable at par at the option of the
parent on dates ranging from March 15, 1996 through June 21, 2000.
At December 31, 1995, BAC had $2.0 billion available under a long-term line
of credit that expires in 1999.

$605 $605
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
/a/ These notes are subordinate to senior indebtedness of the parent and qualify
as Tier 2 risk-based capital under Federal Reserve Board guidelines for
assessing capital adequacy.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Floating Rate Notes have interest rates that approximate LIBOR and are
subject to a minimum interest rate of 5.25%.
Effective May 18, 1993, the Auction Rate Notes bear interest as follows:
$68 million bears interest at a fixed rate of 4.99% per annum, while the
remaining $31 million bears interest at a floating rate of 0.50% over LIBOR per
annum through May 17, 1996. Thereafter, the Auction Rate Notes bear interest, at
the election of the holders, as to the final three-year period at either a fixed
rate determined by auction or a floating rate of 0.50% over LIBOR per annum.
At the option of the parent, the Floating Rate Notes and the Auction Rate
Notes may be exchanged for common stock, perpetual preferred stock, or other
capital securities acceptable to the Federal Reserve Board having a market price
equal to the principal amount of the notes or, under certain circumstances, may
be redeemed in whole or in part for cash. As of December 31, 1995, proceeds from
issuances of common and preferred stock of $600 million have been dedicated to
fully retire or redeem subordinated capital notes.
13. Stock Repurchase Program
During the first quarter of 1995, BAC's Board of Directors authorized a stock
repurchase program. This program enables the parent to buy back approximately
$1.9 billion of its common stock, $800 million of which may be repurchased in
one or more transactions by the end of 1996. During each quarter of 1995, 1996,
and 1997, the parent may also purchase additional amounts of common stock up to
the level of amortization of goodwill and core deposit intangibles for that
quarter (currently approximately $85 million per quarter) plus any unused
amounts from the previous four quarters. During the year ended December 31,
1995, the parent repurchased 16.6 million shares of its common stock in
connection with this program at an average per-share price of $53.83, which
reduced stockholders' equity by $894 million.
In addition, this program authorized the parent to buy back or redeem
approximately $500 million of its preferred stock by the end of 1996. During the
fourth quarter of 1995, BAC's Board of Directors modified the stock repurchase
program by authorizing a $250 million increase in the total amount of BAC's
outstanding preferred stock that may be repurchased or redeemed through the end
of 1996. During the year ended December 31, 1995, the parent repurchased and
redeemed preferred stock in connection with this program, reducing stockholders'
equity by $206 million.

14. Preferred Share Purchase Rights and Common Stock Warrants
On April 11, 1988, the Board of Directors of the parent declared a dividend of
one preferred share purchase right (a Right) for each outstanding share of the
parent's common stock as of April 22, 1988 (the Rights Agreement). While the
Rights Agreement is in effect, every share of common stock issued before the
rights become effective also represents a right. Each Right entitles the holder
to buy from the parent, until the earlier of April 22, 1998 or the redemption of
the Rights, one one-hundredth of a share of Cumulative Participating Preferred
Stock, Series E, at an exercise price of $50.00 per Right (subject to
adjustment). The Rights will not be exercisable or transferable apart from the
parent's common stock until certain events occur pertaining to a person or group
acquiring or announcing the intention to acquire 20 percent or more of the
parent's outstanding common stock. Under specified circumstances, all of which
relate to a potential acquisition of the parent, a Right may: (i) become a right
to purchase shares of an acquiring company at half of the then-market price,
(ii) become a right to purchase the parent's common stock at half of the then-
market price or (iii) be exchanged by the parent for one share of common stock
or one one-hundredth of a share of Preferred Stock, Series E, or an equivalent
preferred share. The Board of Directors may redeem the Rights at a price of
$0.001 per Right (rounded as to each holder to the nearest $0.01) at any time
prior to the acquisition by a person or group of 20 percent or more of the
outstanding common stock of the parent. Under other specified conditions, the
Rights may be automatically redeemed. The Rights are excluded from the
computation of earnings per common share.
At December 31, 1995 and 1994, common stock warrants outstanding totaled
99,053 and 449,506, respectively. These warrants give the holder the right to
purchase shares of common stock of the parent at a price of $17.50 per share,
subject to adjustment in certain events, until expiration on October 22, 1997.
15. Preferred Stock
The parent is authorized to issue, in one or more series, 70,000,000 shares of
preferred stock. The parent's outstanding preferred shares are nonvoting except
in certain limited circumstances. Dividends are cumulative and are payable
quarterly on February 28, May 31, August 31, and November 30, except for the 11%
Preferred Stock, Series J, whose dividends are payable quarterly on March 31,
June 30, September 30, and December 31. The shares are redeemable at the option
of the parent during the redemption period and at the redemption price per share
noted in the following table plus accrued and unpaid dividends to the redemption
date. Holders of the preferred shares have dividend and liquidation preferences
senior to those of holders of the parent's common stock.
On September 30, 1995, the parent redeemed all 200,000 outstanding shares
of its 11% Preferred Stock, Series I. On May 31, 1995, the parent redeemed all
1,788,000 shares of its Adjustable Rate Preferred Stock, Series 1. During May
1995, the parent redeemed or converted all of the outstanding shares of its
6 1/2% Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, Series G. The terms of these
redemptions are summarized in the table on the next page.

/a/ The valuation allowance for deferred income tax assets relates primarily to
net operating loss carryovers of foreign subsidiaries and pre-acquisition
tax carryovers associated with the Security Pacific Corporation and
Continental mergers. Utilization of these carryovers is subject to various
limitations. The valuation allowance was established because BAC may not
realize all of the tax benefit of these carryovers as a result of the
limitations. If BAC determines that it will realize the pre-acquisition
carryover tax benefits in the future, the corresponding reduction in the
valuation allowance will decrease goodwill instead of tax expense.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Management believes that BAC will fully realize its total deferred income
tax assets as of December 31, 1995 based upon BAC's recoverable taxes from prior
carryback years, its total deferred income tax liabilities, and its current
level of operating income.
The reconciliation of the provision for income taxes computed at the U.S.
statutory income tax rate to pre-tax income is as follows:

---------------------------
Effective Tax Rate 42% 41% 43%
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BAC's effective tax rate in 1995 was essentially unchanged from 1994. BAC's
effective tax rate in 1994 decreased from 1993 primarily due to a reduction in
the state effective tax rate and the effective tax rate applied to leveraged
lease income.
The valuation allowance for deferred income tax assets was $124 million at
December 31, 1995 and 1994. The recognition of deferred tax assets subject to
the valuation allowance would result in a reduction to goodwill of $92 million.
In 1995, deferred tax liabilities of $219 million relating to net
unrealized gains on available-for-sale securities was charged directly to
stockholders' equity. In 1994, deferred tax benefits of $218 million relating to
net unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities was recorded in
stockholders' equity.
At December 31, 1995, federal income taxes had not been provided on $440
million of undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries earned prior to 1987
that have been reinvested for an indefinite period. If the undistributed
earnings were distributed, credits for foreign taxes paid on such earnings and
for the related foreign withholding taxes payable upon remittance, would be
available to offset $90 million of the $190 million of the resulting tax
expense. Subsequent to 1986, federal taxes are provided on earnings of foreign
subsidiaries as a result of a tax law change.
BAC provided tax expense of $13 million, $9 million, and $25 million on net
securities gains in 1995, 1994, and 1993, respectively.

18. Employee Benefit Plans
Defined Benefit Plans
During 1995, the majority of salaried U.S. employees within BAC were covered
under either the BankAmeraccount Plan or the Seafirst Corporation Retirement
Plan. The BankAmeraccount Plan is a defined benefit cash balance plan while the
Seafirst Plan was a defined benefit final average pay plan. Effective December
31, 1995, the Seafirst Plan was merged into the BankAmeraccount Plan. However,
until April 1, 1996, the Seafirst Plan benefits will continue to apply to the
employees formerly covered by the plan.
Benefits are based on length of service and level of compensation and, in
the case of the BankAmeraccount Plan, a specified interest rate. Contributions
are made by the employers and are based on actuarial computations of the amount
sufficient to fund the current service cost plus amortization of the unfunded
actuarial accrued liability. Contributions are determined in accordance with
Internal Revenue Service funding requirements and are invested in diversified
portfolios.
In connection with the Continental acquisition, BAC acquired the
Continental Employees Pension Plan, which was merged into the BankAmeraccount
Plan effective January 1, 1995.
BAC maintains certain nonqualified, nonfunded employee defined benefit
retirement plans. The related retirement benefits are paid from BAC's assets.
Certain non-U.S. employees of BAC are covered by noncontributory defined benefit
pension plans that the employers fund based primarily on local laws. The
assumptions used in computing the present value of the accumulated benefit
obligation, the projected benefit obligation, and net pension expense for the
non-U.S. plans are substantially consistent with those assumptions used for the
U.S. plans, given local conditions.
The following is a reconciliation between the funded status of all defined
benefit plans and amounts included in BAC's consolidated balance sheet:

PBGC covered plans using a 4.75% interest rate and the Group Annuity
Mortality 83 table as of December 31, 1995 is $2,883 million as compared
with assets of $3,058 million.

A summary of the assumptions used in computing the present value of the
accumulated benefit obligation, the present value of projected benefit
obligation, and the net pension expense for the U.S. plans follows on the next
page. The discount rate used in determining benefit obligations at year end
reflects the approximate yield on high quality fixed-income securities taking
into account the duration of the projected benefit obligation. The discount rate
used in determining net pension expense is based on assumptions used for the
previous year-end measurement of the benefit obligation.

Defined Contribution Plans
During 1995, the majority of salaried U.S. employees within BAC were eligible to
participate in either the BankAmerishare Plan or the Seafirst Corporation
Employee Matched Savings Plan. These plans provided tax-deferred investment
opportunities to salaried employees who have completed a required length of
service. Employees may contribute to the plans up to certain limits prescribed
by the Internal Revenue Service. A portion of these contributions is matched by
the employers. Contributions are invested at the direction of the participant.
In connection with the Continental acquisition, BAC acquired the
Continental Employee Savings Incentive Plan and the Continental Employee Stock
Ownership Plan, which were merged into the BankAmerishare Plan effective
January 1, 1995.
Effective April 1, 1996, the Seafirst Corporation Employee Matched Savings
Plan will be merged into and replaced by the BankAmerishare Plan.
BAC maintains certain nonqualified defined contribution retirement plans.
The related retirement benefits are paid from BAC's assets. In addition, certain
non-U.S. employees of BAC are covered under defined contribution pension plans
that are separately administered in accordance with local laws.
Aggregate contributions by the employers for all defined contribution plans
were $93 million, $86 million, and $75 million in 1995, 1994, and 1993,
respectively. Certain employer and employee contributions to the plans are used
to purchase the parent's common stock at prices that approximate market values.
Contributions, including dividends, to the plans were used to purchase 295,945
shares for $16 million in 1995, 539,910 shares for $23 million in 1994, and
784,344 shares for $37 million in 1993.
Sales by the plans of the parent's common stock were 843,588 shares for $45
million in 1995, 220,468 shares for $10 million in 1994, and 637,000 shares for
$29 million in 1993. The plans held 15,994,153 shares, 16,611,787 shares, and
15,375,896 shares of the parent's common stock at December 31, 1995, 1994, and
1993, respectively.
Amendments to the BankAmeraccount Plan and the BankAmerishare Plan
Effective January 1, 1996, the BankAmeraccount Plan and the BankAmerishare
Plan were amended to provide an enhanced level of benefits to employees. The
name of the BankAmeraccount Plan was changed to BankAmerica Pension Plan
while the name of the BankAmerishare Plan was changed to BankAmerica 401(k)
Investment Plan. Management estimates that these amendments could increase
BAC's benefit expense in future periods by approximately $45 million to $55
million per year.
Management Stock Plans
The parent offers shares of its common stock to certain key employees under
management stock plans. Under the plans, three kinds of options are outstanding:
Nonqualified Stock Options, Performance Stock Options, and Incentive Stock
Options. The shares under option generally become exercisable not earlier than
six months and not later than ten years after the date the option was granted.
Options awarded before August 5, 1991 held by principal officers of the
parent, subject to certain restrictions, also constitute stock appreciation
rights equal to the number of shares covered by the options. These stock
appreciation rights are exercisable for the difference between the option price
and the current market price of the stock at the time of exercise. The
difference can be received in cash or shares. Stock appreciation rights are
exercisable under the same terms as the related stock options.

Also under the plans, the parent awards restricted stock to certain key
employees. Generally, the restricted stock awarded under the plans is not
released until the employee has completed a continuous service requirement
specified in the award agreement. During 1995 and 1994, the parent awarded
639,424 shares and 942,138 shares, respectively, under the plans. In addition,
during 1994, 417,000 shares of restricted stock were awarded under a performance
share program. These shares would vest in three equal installments, provided the
price of BAC common stock attained certain targets. During 1995, 278,000 of
these shares vested as two of the price targets were met. If the remaining
target stock price is not reached, but BAC attains a certain ranking among a
comparison group of bank holding companies with respect to total shareholder
return at the end of a three-year performance period, the remaining units will
nevertheless vest unless the Executive Personnel and Compensation Committee
(EPCC) of the Board of Directors determines that all or part of the units shall
not vest. In 1995, an additional 12,000 shares of restricted stock were awarded
under the performance share program, all of which are subject to the same
vesting requirements as the third installment of the 1994 awards.
Both stock options and restricted stock are granted by the EPCC. Shares
available for grant, as either stock options or restricted stock, were 884,312
and 856,531 at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Shares subject to
options that are canceled, except for those converted in connection with the
Security Pacific Corporation and Continental mergers, become available for
future grants.
Postretirement Health Care and Life Insurance Benefits
BAC provides certain defined health care and life insurance benefits under plans
for retired U.S. employees. Retiree health care benefits are offered under self-
insured arrangements, as well as through various health maintenance
organizations. BAC contributes a fixed dollar amount to the plans, which is
periodically reviewed and evaluated. The retirees' share is the remainder of the
cost for the given coverage. BAC's policy is to fund the cost of medical
benefits in amounts determined at the discretion of management. Employer
contributions are invested in diversified portfolios, including fixed income and
equity investments.
The assumed discount rates used to measure the accumulated postretirement
benefit obligation were 6.50 percent and 8.50 percent at December 31, 1995 and
1994, respectively. The expected long-term rates of return on plan assets used
in computing the net periodic postretirement cost were 9.75 percent, 8.50
percent, and 9.75 percent for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994, and 1993,
respectively. The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets used in
computing the net periodic postretirement cost for 1996 will be approximately
8.00 percent. This change is not expected to have a material effect on BAC's
results of operations.

postretirement benefit plans other than pensions and the amounts included in

19. Earnings per Common Share
Earnings per common and common equivalent share are computed by dividing net
income applicable to common stock by the total of the average number of common
shares outstanding and the additional dilutive effect of stock options and
warrants outstanding during the respective period. The dilutive effect of stock
options and warrants is computed using the average market price of the parent's
common stock for the period.
Earnings per common share, assuming full dilution, are computed based on
the average number of common shares outstanding during the period, and the
additional dilutive effect of stock options and warrants outstanding during the
period. The dilutive effect of outstanding stock options and warrants is
computed using the greater of the closing market price or the average market
price of the parent's common stock for the period. Earnings per common share,
assuming full dilution, also includes the dilution which would result if the
parent's Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding during the period had been
converted at the beginning of the period. Net income applicable to common stock
is adjusted for dividends declared during the period on the Convertible
Preferred Stock.
Earnings per common share have been computed based on the following:

20. Off-Balance-Sheet Transactions
In the ordinary course of business, BAC enters into various types of
transactions that involve credit-related financial instruments and foreign
exchange and derivatives contracts that contain off-balance-sheet risk. Credit-
related financial instruments are typically customer-driven while foreign
exchange and derivatives contracts are entered into both on behalf of customers
and for BAC's own account in managing interest rate and foreign exchange risk.
In its effort to manage credit risk associated with foreign exchange and
derivatives contracts, BAC ensures that its off-balance-sheet portfolio is well
diversified, both in terms of instrument type and industry and customer
concentration. In addition, credit risk is managed through BAC's credit approval
process. It is also BAC's policy to execute legally enforceable master netting
agreements with its foreign exchange and derivative customers, which provide for
the netting of BAC's current positive and negative closeout exposures associated
with all individual transactions of those counterparties in the event of
default. To further mitigate off-balance-sheet credit exposures, BAC obtains
collateral where determined appropriate.
Credit-Related Financial Instruments
Credit-related financial instruments include commitments to extend credit,
standby letters of credit, financial guarantees, and commercial letters of
credit. Fees received from credit-related financial instruments are recognized
over the terms of the contracts and are included in other fees and commissions
in noninterest income.
Unfunded credit commitments at December 31, 1995 and 1994 totaled $149,453
million and $131,070 million, respectively, of which $8,294 million and $7,108
million related to foreign-based customers and $141,159 million and $123,962
million related to domestic-based customers. The unfunded credit commitments to
domestic-based customers at December 31, 1995 and 1994 included $34,465 million
and $28,058 million, respectively, of unutilized credit card lines. At both
December 31, 1995 and 1994, no domestic or foreign industry nor any individual
foreign country comprised more than ten percent of total unfunded noncredit-
card-related commitments. For a summary of funded loan outstandings by type at
December 31, 1995 and 1994, refer to Note 8 of the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements on pages 60 and 61.
A summary of the contractual amounts of each significant class of credit-
related financial instruments outstanding appears on the next page. The
contractual amounts of these instruments are not recorded as assets or
liabilities on the balance sheet. These amounts represent the amounts at risk
should the contract be fully drawn upon, the client default, and the value of
any existing collateral become worthless.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Commitments to Extend Credit
Unutilized credit card lines are commitments to extend credit. These lines
generally are not secured and may be canceled by BAC after thirty-days written
notice to the customer. Many credit card customers are not expected to fully
draw down their total lines of credit and, therefore, the total contractual
amount of these lines does not necessarily represent future cash requirements.
Other commitments to extend credit represent agreements to extend credit to
a customer for which BAC may have received fees. These commitments have
specified interest rates and generally have fixed expiration dates and may be
terminated by BAC if certain conditions of the contract are violated. Although
they are currently subject to drawdown, many of these commitments are expected
to expire or terminate without being funded. Of total other commitments to
extend credit at December 31, 1995, $38,098 million will expire in less than one
year, $51,920 million from one to five years, and $4,506 million after five
years. Generally, other commitments are not secured, but, when required,
collateral may include cash, securities, and real estate.
Standby Letters of Credit and Financial Guarantees
Standby letters of credit are performance assurances made on behalf of customers
who have a contractual obligation to produce or deliver goods or services or
otherwise perform. Credit risk arises in these transactions from the possibility
that a customer may not be able to repay BAC upon default of performance if the
standby letter of credit has been drawn upon. At December 31, 1995 and 1994,
standby letters of credit totaled $7,228 million and $6,312 million,
respectively. Of the December 31, 1995 balance, $4,719 million will expire in
less than one year, $2,080 million from one to five years, and $429 million
after five years.
BAC issues financial guarantees assuring performance of customer financial
obligations under money market instruments, such as commercial paper and state,
county, and municipal securities. At December 31, 1995 and 1994, financial
guarantees totaled $9,108 million and $9,558 million, respectively. Of the
December 31, 1995 balance, $5,532 million will expire in less than one year,
$2,707 million from one to five years, and $869 million after five years.
Fees received for standby letters of credit and financial guarantees are
recognized over the lives of the contracts and are included in other fees and
commissions in noninterest income. Generally, standby letters of credit and
financial guarantees are not secured, but, when required, collateral may include
cash and securities.
Commercial Letters of Credit
Commercial letters of credit ensure payment by a bank to a third party for a
customer's foreign or domestic trade transactions, generally to finance a
commercial contract for the shipment of goods. BAC's credit risk in these
transactions is limited since the contracts are collateralized by the
merchandise being shipped and are generally of short duration.
Foreign Exchange and Derivatives Contracts
Foreign exchange and derivatives contracts include futures, forwards, swaps, and
option contracts, and are principally linked to interest rates, foreign exchange
rates, security prices, or commodity or equity indices. For most contracts,
notional amounts are used solely to determine cash flows to be exchanged.
However, certain foreign exchange contracts are designed for principal amounts
to be exchanged on a common settlement date. The notional or contract amounts
associated with foreign exchange and derivative financial instruments are not
recorded as assets or liabilities on the balance sheet and do not represent the
potential for gain or loss associated with such transactions.
Foreign exchange and derivatives contracts that do not qualify as hedges
for BAC's own assets and liabilities are marked to market, and the unrealized
gains and unrealized losses are recorded on the consolidated balance sheet on a
gross basis unless right of set-off criteria are met. Unrealized gains and
losses on contracts executed with the same counterparty may be netted when
contracts have been executed under legally enforceable master netting
agreements.
The accounting for gains and losses on foreign exchange and derivatives
contracts that qualify as accounting hedges differs based on the type of
contract and the nature of the hedge strategy. For further information regarding
BAC's accounting treatment for foreign exchange and derivatives contracts, refer
to Note 1 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements on pages 52-56.

The table above summarizes the notional amounts, credit risk, and credit
exposure for each significant class of foreign exchange and derivative contract
outstanding in BAC's trading portfolio and the notional amounts and credit risk
for each significant class of foreign exchange and derivative contract
outstanding in BAC's asset and liability management portfolio.
Credit risk represents BAC's potential loss on these transactions if all
counterparties failed to perform according to the terms of the contract and the
value of any existing collateral became worthless, based on then-current
currency exchange and interest rates at each respective date. Credit exposure
represents the potential loss to which BAC is exposed, after taking into
consideration legally enforceable master netting agreements. Historically,
losses associated with counterparty nonperformance on derivative and foreign
exchange instruments have been immaterial.

The following table summarizes the average and year-end fair values of
each significant class of foreign exchange and derivative contract

The fair value amounts for the trading portfolio are disaggregated by gross
unrealized gains (assets) and gross unrealized losses (liabilities), while
the fair value amounts for the asset and liability management portfolio are

Foreign Exchange Contracts
Foreign exchange contracts, which include spot, forward and futures
contracts, represent agreements to exchange the currency of one country for
the currency of another country at an agreed-upon price, on an agreed-upon
settlement date. Foreign exchange option contracts are similar to interest
rate option contracts, except that they are based on currencies, rather than
interest rates. Exposure to loss on these contracts will increase or decrease
over their respective lives as currency exchange rates fluctuate. For
exchange-traded foreign exchange contracts, BAC's exposure to
off-balance-sheet credit risk is limited, as these transactions are executed
on organized exchanges that assume the obligations of counterparties and
generally require security deposits and daily settlement of margins.
Interest Rate and Currency Swaps
Interest rate swaps represent contractual agreements between two parties to
exchange interest payments in the same currency, each of which is computed on
a different basis, on a specified notional amount. Most interest rate swaps
involve the net exchange of payments calculated as the difference between
fixed and floating rate interest payments. Currency swaps, in their simplest
form, represent contractual agreements that involve the exchange of both
periodic and final amounts in two different currencies. Exposure to loss on
both types of swap contracts will increase or decrease over their respective
lives as a function of maturity dates, interest and foreign exchange rates,
and timing of payments.
Interest Rate Futures, Forward, and Option Contracts
Interest rate futures are exchange-traded instruments and represent
commitments to purchase or sell a designated security or money market
instrument at a specified future date and price. Interest rate forward
agreements are over-the-counter products and represent contracts where two
parties agree on an interest rate for one party to pay the other for a
specific period in the future. Interest rate options, which primarily consist
of caps and floors, are interest rate protection instruments that involve the
payment from the seller to the buyer of an interest rate differential in
exchange for a premium paid by the buyer. This differential represents the
difference between current interest rates and an agreed-upon rate applied to
a notional amount. Exposure to loss on all interest rate contracts will
increase or decrease over their respective lives as interest rates fluctuate.
For interest rate futures and exchange-traded option contracts, BAC's
exposure to off-balance-sheet credit risk is limited, as these transactions
are executed on organized exchanges that assume the obligations of
counterparties and generally require security deposits and daily settlement
of margins.
Trading Activities
Trading income represents the net amount earned from BAC's trading
activities, which include entering into transactions to meet customer demand
and taking positions for BAC's own account in a diverse range of financial
instruments and markets. The profitability of these trading activities
depends largely on the volume and diversity of the transactions BAC executes,
the level of risk it is willing to assume, and the volatility of price and
rate movements.
To reflect the business purpose and use of the financial contracts into
which BAC enters, trading income and the related net interest revenue or
expense associated with such contracts have been allocated into three broad
functional categories: interest rate trading, foreign exchange trading, and
debt instruments trading. Trading-related income from interest rate
instruments primarily includes the results from transactions using interest
rate and currency swaps, interest rate futures, option contracts, and forward
rate agreements, as well as cash instruments used in the management of this
function. Foreign exchange trading-related income primarily includes the
results from transactions using foreign exchange spot, forward, futures, and
option contracts. Trading-related income from debt instruments primarily
represents the results from trading activities in various debt securities,
including U. S. government and government agency securities, foreign
government securities, mortgage-backed securities, municipal bonds, and
corporate debt.

Asset and Liability Management Activities
BAC uses foreign exchange contracts and derivative instruments, primarily
interest rate contracts, to manage interest rate risk related to specific
assets and liabilities, including fixed rate and adjustable rate residential
mortgages, long-term debt, and deposits. Foreign exchange contracts are used
to hedge net capital exposure and foreign currency exposures.
One strategy that BAC employs in managing interest rate risk is the use
of interest rate swaps to modify the interest rate characteristics of
designated assets and liabilities. For example, BAC may enter into an
interest rate swap to alter cash flows on its long-term debt from fixed to
floating rate in an effort to reduce gap mismatches.
Another hedging strategy used by BAC is the purchase of options to
protect against significant loss due to extreme interest rate movements. For
example, BAC may purchase interest rate floors on its adjustable rate
mortgage portfolio to reduce the risk of loss from a rapid or prolonged
decline in interest rates. In addition, BAC uses interest rate swaps to hedge
against market value fluctuations of available-for-sale securities.
The above hedging strategies would be rendered ineffective if BAC
disposes of the underlying product being hedged or if certain unexpected
events occur. In addition, BAC may terminate its hedging-related contracts in
reaction to certain events or circumstances. However, such terminations are
infrequent, and the deferred gains or losses on terminated contracts recorded
in BAC's consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the
amortization of such amounts for the years ended 1995 and 1994 were not
significant.
The table on page 76 summarizes the expected or contractual maturities
and weighted average interest rates associated with amounts to be received or
paid on BAC's interest rate swaps used to manage asset and liability interest
rate exposure at December 31, 1995 and 1994. These swaps have been designated
as accounting hedges and are used to modify the interest rate characteristics
of certain specified assets and liabilities.
Approximately 80 percent of BAC's hedging-related interest rate futures
and forward rate agreements outstanding at December 31, 1995 mature within
one year, while approximately 90 percent of its hedging-related option
contracts mature between five and ten years. Approximately 65 percent of
BAC's hedging-related interest rate futures and forward rate agreements
outstanding at December 31, 1994 mature within one year, while approximately
85 percent of its hedging-related option contracts mature within three years.
All of BAC's hedging-related foreign exchange forward contracts
outstanding at December 31, 1995 and 1994 mature within 60 days. At both
December 31, 1995 and 1994, BAC's hedging-related foreign exchange forward
contracts were denominated in various currencies, most notably Hong Kong
dollars and Spanish pesetas.
Securities Lending
BAC conducts securities lending transactions primarily for institutional
trust customers and, at times, indemnifies these customers against various
losses. All securities lending transactions are collateralized by U.S.
government or federal agency securities, cash, or letters of credit with
total market value equal to or in excess of the market value of the
securities lent. In the event of default by a customer combined with a
decline in the value of the associated collateral, BAC may be exposed to risk
of loss. During 1995, BAC made a decision to exit, and is in the process of
divesting, its institutional trust and securities services business.
The following summarizes indemnified securities lending transactions and
the associated collateral:

21. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Management uses its best judgment in estimating the fair value of BAC's
financial instruments; however, there are inherent weaknesses in any estimation
technique. Therefore, for substantially all financial instruments, the fair
value estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts
BAC could have realized in a sales transaction at either December 31, 1995 or
1994. The estimated fair value amounts for 1995 and 1994 have been measured as
of their respective year ends, and have not been reevaluated or updated for
purposes of these consolidated financial statements subsequent to those
respective dates. As such, the estimated fair values of these financial
instruments subsequent to the respective reporting dates may be different than
the amounts reported at each year end. This disclosure of fair value amounts
does not include the fair values of any intangibles, including core deposit
intangibles, MSRs, and credit card intangibles.
The following information should not be interpreted as an estimate of
the fair value of the entire corporation since a fair value calculation is
only required for a limited portion of BAC's assets. Due to the wide range of
valuation techniques and the degree of subjectivity used in making the
estimates, comparisons between BAC's disclosures and those of other companies
may not be meaningful. The following methods and assumptions were used to
estimate the fair values of BAC's financial instruments at December 31, 1995
and 1994.
Financial Instruments Valued at Carrying Value
The respective carrying values of certain on-balance-sheet financial
instruments approximated their fair values. These financial instruments
include cash and due from banks, interest-bearing deposits in banks, federal
funds sold and purchased, securities purchased and sold under resale and
repurchase agreements, trading account assets, customers' acceptance
liability, accrued interest receivable, other short-term borrowings,
acceptances outstanding, accrued interest payable, and certain other assets
and liabilities that are considered financial instruments. Carrying values
were assumed to approximate fair values for these financial instruments as
they are short term in nature and their recorded amounts approximate fair
values or are receivable or payable on demand.
Available-for-Sale and Held-to-Maturity Securities
Fair value amounts of available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities were
based on quoted market prices, wherever available. Where quoted market prices
did not exist, fair values were estimated using book, cost, or appraised
value as deemed appropriate by management. Available-for-sale securities are
carried at their aggregate fair value. The aggregate fair value and aggregate
carrying value of available-for-sale securities exclude the fair value of
off-balance-sheet financial instruments that qualify as accounting hedges of
$43 million at December 31, 1994. The notional amount of these instruments
was $515 million at December 31, 1994. There were no off-balance-sheet
financial instruments that qualified as accounting hedges for
available-for-sale securities at December 31, 1995.
Loans
For purposes of these fair value calculations, the aggregate fair value of
each loan portfolio, excluding nonaccrual domestic commercial and foreign
loans, was adjusted by the related portion of the allowance for credit
losses. The allowance for credit losses primarily represents the credit risk
associated with loans that reprice within relatively short time frames. The
fair values of nonaccrual domestic commercial and foreign loans were computed
by deducting an estimated market discount from their carrying values to
reflect the uncertainty of future cash flow amounts and timing.
The aggregate fair value of loans excludes the effect of off-balance-sheet
financial instruments that qualify as accounting hedges. The notional amounts of
these instruments were $12,107 million and $8,484 million at December 31, 1995
and 1994, respectively, and their associated net fair values were $(42) million
at December 31, 1995 and zero at December 31, 1994.
At December 31, 1995 and 1994, the allowance for credit losses included
$895 million and $1,194 million, respectively, that was not allocated to a
specific segment of the loan portfolio. As such, these portions of the
allowance for credit losses were not included in any of the carrying values
or fair values of loans presented in the table on page 78 at each respective
year end.
The following methods and assumptions were used to calculate the fair
values of loans.
78 / BankAmerica Corporation 1995
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Residential first mortgages
The fair values of residential first mortgages were calculated using pricing
procedures that are similar to those used when these loans are sold in the
secondary market in the normal course of business. These pricing procedures
use current market rates for similar types of loans.
Residential junior mortgages, consumer installment loans, credit card loans,
individual lines of credit, and other consumer loans (other consumer loans)
The fair values of other consumer loans were calculated using discounted cash
flow models. The discount rates were based on current market interest rates
for similar types of loans.
Domestic commercial loans
The carrying values of domestic commercial loans that reprice within
relatively short time frames were assumed to approximate their fair values.
The fair values of domestic commercial loans that do not reprice or
mature within relatively short time frames were calculated using discounted
cash flow models based on the maturity of the loans. The discount rates,
which were based on market interest rates for similar types of loans,
incorporated adjustments for credit risk.
The fair values of commitments to extend credit were not significant at
either December 31, 1995 or 1994.
Foreign loans
Substantially all of the foreign loans reprice within relatively short time
frames. As a result, the carrying values of these foreign loans were assumed
to approximate their fair values.
Other Financial Instruments
For non-exchange-traded equity securities, which are included in other
assets, fair values were estimated using equity, cost, or appraised value as
deemed appropriate by management. The carrying values of all other components
of other assets that are considered financial instruments approximated their
respective fair values, as they are short term in nature or are receivable or
payable on demand.
The following is a summary of previously described on-balance-sheet
asset financial instruments whose fair values differ from their carrying
values for either of the periods presented:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Deposits
The fair values of domestic and foreign demand deposits,
savings deposits, and money market deposits without defined maturities were
the amounts payable on demand. For substantially all domestic deposits with
defined maturities, the fair values were calculated using discounted cash
flow models based on market interest rates for the relevant product types and
maturity dates for the state in which the deposit was held. For variable-rate
deposits with fixed repricing dates, the first repricing date was considered
the maturity date for purposes of the fair value calculation. For variable
rate deposits where BAC has the contractual right to change rates, carrying
value was assumed to approximate fair value. The discount rates used were
based on rates for comparable deposits.
The fair values of domestic business negotiable certificates of deposit
and domestic business time deposits were calculated using a discounted cash
flow model. This model was based on the maturities of the related deposits
and market interest rates for similar types of deposits. The carrying values
of total foreign time deposits were assumed to approximate their fair values
since these deposits primarily had variable rates and repriced within
relatively short time frames.
BankAmerica Corporation 1995 / 79
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The aggregate fair values of deposits exclude the aggregate fair values
of off-balance-sheet financial instruments that qualify as accounting hedges
for the bank's certificates of deposit, which were $(16) million and $(653)
million, respectively, at December 31, 1995 and 1994. The notional amount of
these contracts were $53,296 million and $50,959 million at December 31, 1995
and 1994, respectively.
Long-term debt
The fair values of BAC's long-term debt instruments were calculated based on
quoted market prices. For those long-term debt issues where quoted market prices
were not available, a discounted cash flow model was used. The discount rates
were based on yield curves appropriate for the remaining maturities of the
instruments. The fair value of long-term debt excludes the fair values of off-
balance-sheet financial instruments that qualify as accounting hedges for the
parent's long-term debt, which were $192 million and $43 million, respectively,
at December 31, 1995 and 1994. The notional amounts of these contracts were
$6,752 million and $5,225 million at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
Subordinated capital notes
The fair values of BAC's subordinated capital notes were calculated based on
quoted market prices.

financial instruments whose aggregate fair values differ from their carrying
value for either of the periods presented:

Foreign exchange contracts and derivatives
The following is a summary of the fair values of foreign exchange and
derivatives contracts outstanding. The fair values of exchange-traded foreign
exchange and derivative contracts are based on quoted market prices or dealer
quotes. Fair values of non-exchange traded, or over-the-counter (OTC) foreign
exchange and derivatives contracts consist of net unrealized gains and
losses, accrued interest receivable or payable, and premiums paid or
received. These amounts were generally calculated using discounted cash flow
models based on current market yields for similar types of instruments and
the maturity of each instrument. The discount rates were based on market
interest rates and indices for similar foreign exchange contracts and
derivatives prevalent in the market. Refer to Note 20 of the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements on pages 70-76 for more information
regarding off-balance-sheet transactions, including a summary of the fair
values for each significant class of foreign exchange and derivative contract
outstanding in BAC's trading and asset and liability management portfolios.

22. Special Deposit Assessment
Congress is currently considering several proposals that would impose a
one-time assessment on deposits insured by the Savings Association Insurance
Fund (SAIF). If imposed, this assessment would recapitalize SAIF to 1.25% of
insured deposits as prescribed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
Improvement Act. At this time it is not possible to predict the ultimate
provisions of any final legislation or their effect on BAC.
23. Legal Contingencies
Due to the nature of its business, BAC is subject to various threatened or
filed legal actions. Although the amount of the ultimate exposure, if any,
cannot be determined at this time, BAC, based upon the advice of counsel,
does not expect the final outcome of threatened or filed suits to have a
material adverse effect on its financial position.
24. BankAmerica Corporation (Parent Company Only)
The amount of funds available to the parent from its subsidiaries is limited
by restrictions placed on them by law and various debt covenants.

Under the U.S. National Bank Act and other federal laws, the parent's
national banking subsidiaries are subject to prohibitions on the payment of
dividends in certain circumstances and to restrictions on the amount that
each can pay without the prior approval of the Office of the Comptroller of
the Currency. Without the Comptroller's approval, dividends for a given year
cannot exceed each bank's net income (as defined by national banking laws)
for that year and retained net income from the preceding two years. In
addition, dividends may not be paid in excess of each bank's undivided
profits, subject to other applicable provisions of law. Based upon these
laws, the bank could have declared dividends for 1995 of $2,466 million, SFNB
could have declared dividends of $338 million, and the parent's other
national banking subsidiaries could have declared dividends of $6 million. At
December 31, 1995, the unutilized

dividends allowed under these laws for the bank, SFNB, and other national
banking subsidiaries were $866 million, $45 million, and $6 million,
respectively.
In addition, state-chartered member and nonmember banking subsidiaries are
subject to dividend limitations imposed by applicable federal or state law.
State-chartered member banking subsidiaries could have declared dividends of $61
million without approval of the Federal Reserve Board for 1995. State-chartered
nonmember banking subsidiaries could have declared dividends without state
approval of $158 million for 1995. At December 31, 1995, the unutilized
dividends allowed under these laws for the state-chartered banking subsidiaries
were $4 million and $58 million, respectively.
The parent's subsidiary, Bank of America, FSB, is subject to regulatory
restrictions by the Office of Thrift Supervision on its payment of dividends.
Under these restrictions, Bank of America, FSB could have declared dividends
without regulatory approval of $101 million for 1995. At December 31, 1995, the
unutilized dividends allowed under these laws were $73 million.
The depository subsidiaries are also subject to certain restrictions of
the Federal Reserve Act on loans each subsidiary may extend to their parent
companies. Among other things, the aggregate of such loans may not exceed 10
percent of the sum of such subsidiary's capital stock and surplus. Such loans
must be secured by collateral with a value between 100 percent

General: For income and asset classification purposes, banking amounts
include the amounts for all of the parent's bank, bank holding company, and
savings bank subsidiaries. Certain prior-period amounts have been
reclassified to conform to the current presentation.
Balance Sheet: At December 31, 1995 and 1994, cash and short-term investments
included $3,191 million and $2,456 million, respectively, of interest-bearing
deposits with the bank.
Statement of Cash Flows: The statement of cash flows illustrates the change
in cash and short-term investments as disclosed in the Parent Company Only
balance sheet. Short-term investments have original maturities of three
months or less and are considered to be cash equivalents. During 1995, 1994,
and 1993, the parent received net income tax payments representing
reimbursements from subsidiaries of $168 million, $211 million, and $119
million, respectively. The parent made interest payments on interest-bearing
liabilities of $1,155 million, $916 million, and $868 million in 1995, 1994,
and 1993, respectively.

and 130 percent of the loan, depending on the type of collateral. Under these
restrictions, and assuming the parent provided the collateral required, the
bank, SFNB, Bank of America Illinois, Bank of America National Association, and
other depository subsidiaries could have loaned to the parent a maximum of
$1,198 million, $163 million, $207 million, $95 million, and $308 million
respectively, at December 31, 1995.
The net assets of depository subsidiaries restricted from flowing to the
parent by legal limitations were $17,576 million at December 31, 1995.

gross income, net interest and noninterest income, income before income
taxes, and net income. The principal allocations and underlying assumptions
used in the presentation above are as follows:
BAC's funds transfer pricing system allocates domestic sources of funds
at U.S. market rates based on the maturities of the funds. To the extent that
overseas units interact with U.S. operations, they are also included in the
funds transfer pricing system.
The allowance for credit losses is established by credit officers for
each portfolio segment. After the allowance has been established for
portfolio segments, credit management establishes an unallocated portion of
the allowance for credit losses, which is attributable to factors that cannot
be associated with a particular portfolio segment. The unallocated portions
of the allowance and the related provisions for credit losses are assigned to
the appropriate geographic areas. While management allocates reserves to
various portfolio segments, the allowance is general in nature and is
available for the entire portfolio.
Equity is assigned on a risk-adjusted basis. Overhead is allocated based
on each geographic area's equally weighted operating expenses.
Each geographic area includes its respective tax liability. BAC allocates
federal and state taxes at its effective tax rates.
Translation losses, net of hedging, totaled $14 million, $2 million, and
$4 million in 1995, 1994, and 1993, respectively. These amounts, which are
reported in other noninterest income, are included in the table above.

BankAmerica Corporate Governance Principles
The Board of Directors has adopted Corporate Governance Principles covering the
Role of the Board, Board Structure, Committees, Meetings, and other issues.
Below is a summary of some of the major points. Copies of the full text of the
Principles can be obtained by writing to the Corporate Secretary's Office
(address on inside back cover).
Responsibility to Shareholders The board believes the role of the board of
directors is to oversee the affairs of the corporation for the benefit of
shareholders.
Strategic Issues The board believes it is important to discuss long-range
strategic issues as a matter of course at regular board meetings as well as at
periodic, multi-day off-site meetings devoted solely to strategic issues.
Operating Plan The board reviews BankAmerica's yearly operating plan and
specific financial goals at the start of each year and monitors performance in
comparison to plan. The board also believes it is important to establish and
evaluate longer-term objectives and not to over-emphasize short-term
performance.
Business Ethics The board believes the long-term success of BankAmerica is
dependent upon maintenance of an ethical business environment that focuses on
adherence to both the letter and the spirit of regulatory and legal mandates and
expects management to conduct operations in a manner supportive of the board's
view.
Performance of CEO The board believes that CEO performance should be evaluated
annually and as a regular part of any decision with respect to CEO compensation.
The board ratifies any compensation decisions for the CEO made by the Executive
Personnel and Compensation Committee.
Chairman of the Board The Chairman of the Board may be an officer/director or
an outside director and may or may not be the same individual as the CEO, at the
option of the board. The board believes it should be free to make these
determinations depending on what it believes is best for the corporation in
light of all the circumstances.
Executive Sessions The board believes that outside directors should meet in
executive session from time to time during the year and that some of the
executive sessions should be with the CEO, who is an inside director, and some
should be outside the presence of the CEO and any other inside directors or
management officials.
Outside Directors The board believes that a significant majority of the board
should be outside directors: individuals who are not members of management and
have not been such within the last 10 years; have no close family relationship
with a member of key management; are not significant advisors or consultants to
BankAmerica; do not have significant personal service contracts with
BankAmerica; and do not have any other relationship with BankAmerica which, in
the opinion of the board, would adversely affect their ability to exercise
independent judgment as directors.
Selection of Directors The board believes that directors should be nominated by
a Nominating Committee of the board consisting entirely of outside directors and
that an offer to join the board should be extended by the committee. The
committee may consider the views of the CEO in making nominations. The board
believes that directors should not represent particular constituents, but should
be diverse enough to be clearly able to represent differing points of view. The
board does not set specific criteria for directors, but believes that they
should show evidence of leadership in their particular field, and have broad
experience and the ability to exercise sound business judgment. In selecting
directors, the board generally seeks a combination of active or former CEOs of
major complex businesses, leading academics and entrepreneurs, including women
and ethnic minority individuals.
Board Effectiveness The board believes it is appropriate to periodically review
its own effectiveness, including its corporate governance policies and
practices, and would generally expect a review annually. The board believes that
the Nominating Committee should review incumbent directors as part of the annual
nomination process and in the context of the committee's overall review of the
strengths and weaknesses of the board as a whole.
Director Compensation The board believes that director compensation should be
competitive with that paid to directors of other major financial institutions
and major corporations. The board believes directors should have a financial
stake in BankAmerica and in 1995 established a stock ownership guideline of
three times the annual director retainer fee in stock or deferred restricted
stock equivalent units, to be achieved within five years of joining the board.
The board also mandates deferral of at least one-half of the retainer into
deferred restricted stock equivalent units which fluctuate with the value of
BankAmerica stock.
Committee Assignments The board believes that the Auditing and Examining
Committee, the Executive Personnel and Compensation Committee, and the
Nominating Committee should be comprised solely of outside directors.
Committee Agendas The board believes committee chairmen, in consultation with
appropriate members of management and committee members, should determine
committee agendas.
