ITEM 1. BUSINESS
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
General
First Chicago NBD Corporation (the "Corporation"), incorporated in Delaware
in 1972, is a multibank holding company registered under the Bank Holding
Company Act of 1956 (the "BHC Act"). The Corporation is the surviving
corporation resulting from the merger (the "Merger"), effective December 1,
1995, of First Chicago Corporation ("FCC"), a Delaware corporation and
registered bank holding company, with and into NBD Bancorp, Inc. ("NBD"), also
a Delaware corporation and registered bank holding company. Through its bank
subsidiaries, the Corporation provides consumer and corporate banking products
and services. The Corporation's lead bank subsidiary is The First National
Bank of Chicago ("FNBC"). The Corporation also is the parent corporation of
NBD Bank (Michigan) ("NBD Michigan"), American National Bank and Trust Company
of Chicago ("ANB"), FCC National Bank ("FCCNB"), NBD Bank, National
Association (Indiana) ("NBD Indiana"), NBD Bank (Florida) ("NBD Florida") and
several other bank subsidiaries. In addition, the Corporation directly or
indirectly owns various nonbank companies engaged in businesses related to
banking and finance. The Corporation also directly or indirectly raises funds
principally to finance the operations of its nonbank subsidiaries. A
substantial portion of the Corporation's annual income typically has been
derived from dividends from its subsidiaries and from interest on loans, some
of which are subordinated, to its subsidiaries.
The Corporation, on an ongoing basis, evaluates its existing business
operations and organizational structures, and routinely explores opportunities
to acquire financial institutions and other financial services-related
businesses and assets. In addition, the Corporation occasionally sells assets,
or exits businesses or markets determined not to be consistent with the
Corporation's overall business strategy. During 1996, the Corporation acquired
Barrington Bancorp, Inc. ("Barrington"), a one-thrift holding company with
assets of approximately $68 million; Barrington's thrift subsidiary was merged
into FNBC. In addition, the Corporation merged NBD Bank (Illinois) with and
into FNBC and consolidated its retail and middle market banking operations
with those of FNBC and ANB. Also in 1996, the Corporation announced its
intention to exit the stand-alone domestic institutional custody and master
trust businesses and discontinued its emerging markets activities.
The Corporation engages primarily in three lines of business--Regional
Banking, which includes retail banking and middle market banking; Corporate
and Institutional Banking and Corporate Investments; and Credit Card. Each of
these businesses is conducted through the Corporation's bank and nonbank
subsidiaries, as described below.
Regional Banking
Retail Banking
Retail banking is conducted primarily through FNBC, NBD Michigan, NBD
Indiana and NBD Florida by providing traditional retail banking products and
services to consumers and small businesses. Products and services offered
include demand, savings and time deposit accounts; cash management accounts;
installment loans and related services; lines of credit and other open-end
credit products; mortgage banking; electronic banking; safekeeping; nondeposit
investment products and related services, including mutual funds, annuities
and discount brokerage services; and trust and investment services. Trust and
investment services include financial planning, estate planning, retirement
planning, tax counseling, custody services and fiduciary services, including
acting as executor, administrator and personal representative of estates.
The Corporation offers an array of additional financial products to its
retail customers, including property and casualty insurance, and credit life
and other life insurance products. The Corporation also offers a proprietary
mutual fund family--the Pegasus Funds; First Chicago NBD Investment Management
Company ("FCNIMC"), a subsidiary of FNBC, is the investment advisor to these
funds. The Pegasus Funds comprise a variety of mutual funds covering a wide
range of investment objectives. As of December 31, 1996, the Pegasus Funds
ranked among the largest bank-managed fund families in the country, with over
$13 billion in assets.
2
The Corporation's primary retail banking markets are metropolitan Chicago
and the states of Michigan and Indiana. The Corporation enjoys a leading
market share in each of these geographic markets, serving approximately
3,000,000 households through over 650 bank branches, more than 1,300 automatic
teller machines ("ATMs"), 24-hour telephone support, and online banking
services available through personal computers. Additionally, retail banking is
available nationally through "direct banking," which offers 24-hour telephone
support, nationwide debit card access at ATMs and merchants, and online
banking services.
ATM services are provided to retail banking clients through two regional
shared networks in which the Corporation has an ownership interest, CASH
STATION and Magic Line, and through the CIRRUS system, a national shared ATM
network. Pursuant to a contract with MasterCard, the Corporation operates the
computerized transaction routing switch for CIRRUS. The Corporation also
operates a similar routing switch for Magic Line.
Middle Market Banking
Middle market banking is conducted primarily through ANB, NBD Michigan and
NBD Indiana, and serves midsized business enterprises located predominantly in
the Midwest. The Corporation seeks to position itself as the lead financial
services provider to its middle market customers by offering a broad array of
targeted products including traditional lending arrangements, asset-based
lending, commercial real estate, and lease financing. Corporate finance
products and services offered include merger and acquisition advisory
services, financial advisory services, interest rate protection products and
mezzanine debt capabilities.
In addition, the Corporation offers a full range of cash management,
international, investment management, corporate trust and employee benefit
products to its middle market customers. For business owners and key
executives, the Corporation offers personal banking, trust, insurance,
investment, loan, deposit and estate planning services.
The Corporation enjoys leading market positions in middle market banking in
each of its major geographic markets.
Corporate & Institutional Banking and Corporate Investments
Corporate & Institutional Banking
Corporate & Institutional Banking encompasses the broad range of commercial
and investment banking products and services that FNBC, NBD Michigan and NBD
Indiana, along with other subsidiaries, provide to domestic and foreign
customers. The Corporation's principal focus in this area is the delivery of
corporate financial services, including the extension of credit, to
commercial, financial and governmental customers.
Corporate & Institutional Banking serves the manufacturing, wholesaling,
retailing, commodities, banking, finance, insurance, transportation,
securities, real estate, mortgage banking, communications, utilities, and
petroleum and mining industries, as well as municipalities and health,
education and service organizations. Customers include large and midsized
corporations.
The Corporation offers capital-raising products to its corporate and
institutional clients, including loans, private placements of debt securities,
merger and acquisition advisory services, highly leveraged transaction
financing, asset sales and distributions, asset securitizations and loan
syndications.
In the global financial marketplace, the Corporation engages in investment
and trading activities in U.S. government, municipal, corporate fixed-income
and federal agency securities. The Corporation also provides to its corporate
and institutional clients a wide range of risk management products, such as
foreign exchange, futures, foreign exchange options, interest rate options,
and interest rate and currency swaps.
3
First Chicago Capital Markets, Inc. ("FCCM"), one of the Corporation's
subsidiaries, is a primary government bond dealer and is principally
responsible for activities in the securities of states, municipalities, other
governmental entities and certain corporate entities, including trading,
sales, underwriting, research, and maintenance of an active secondary market
with national sales distribution.
In addition, the Corporation, through a number of its subsidiaries,
develops, markets and delivers cash management, operating, clearing, and other
noncredit products and services, both overseas and domestically. These include
money transfer, collection, disbursement, documentary, remittance, trade
finance and international securities clearing services. Corporate &
Institutional Banking offers a wide range of administrative and trust and
investment advisory services to corporations, municipalities and charitable
organizations. Each of FNBC, NBD Michigan, NBD Indiana and ANB act as trustee
of corporate, pension, profit-sharing and other employee-benefit trusts, and
act as registrar, fiscal and paying agent for business entities. In addition,
First Chicago Trust Company of New York ("FCTC"), a New York state-chartered
trust company ranking among the largest stock transfer agents in the United
States, provides custody, special agency, stock transfer, and securities
issuing, paying and clearance services.
Corporate Investments
Corporate Investments encompasses mostly noncustomer-oriented activities
that are conducted primarily through the Corporation's nonbank subsidiaries,
including First Chicago Investment Corporation, First Chicago Equity
Corporation, First Chicago Leasing Corporation, First Chicago Capital
Corporation and First Chicago Financial Corporation, which raises funds to
help finance these activities. The activities of Corporate Investments
comprise growth equity investments, tax-advantaged investments, value-oriented
investments, and funding and liquidity investments.
Growth equity investment activities include various forms of equity funding
for acquisitions, management buyouts and growing businesses; funding for these
activities is provided by First Chicago Investment Corporation. First Chicago
Equity Corporation, a small business investment company licensed under the
Small Business Investment Act of 1958, offers equity funding for small
business ventures.
Tax-advantaged investment activities include advising on and investing in
leases for commercial aircraft and major industrial and power production
facilities and equipment. Investments are also made in alternative energy
programs and affordable housing projects qualifying for tax credits under
Section 29 and Section 42, respectively, of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.
Primary support for these activities is provided by First Chicago Leasing
Corporation.
Value-oriented investment activities include positions in the distressed and
value investment markets, such as: loans, letters of credit, trade claims and
securities of distressed companies; securities of companies whose debt trades
below full face value of the claim; below-investment-grade tranches of
commercial mortgage-backed securities; and fixed-income securities, publicly
traded debt (including subordinated debt), equities, options and other
securities. Support for the majority of these activities is provided by First
Chicago Capital Corporation.
Funding and liquidity investment activities provide funding to meet the
incremental financing needs of the Corporation's bank subsidiaries by placing
deposits and making investments in the wholesale money markets to provide a
diversified funding base. These liquid investments include Fed funds and
interest-bearing deposits. In addition, investments are generally made in
short- to medium-term municipal, government, and agency securities that
provide increased liquidity and satisfy various collateral requirements.
Credit Card
Credit Card has primary responsibility for developing and marketing credit
card products and related services to individuals nationwide using direct
response, telemarketing and other techniques that do not require a local
physical presence. While the Corporation's proprietary First Card line of VISA
and MasterCard accounts are the primary Credit Card products, other products
include check-accessed lines of credit and certificates of deposit.
4
The majority of the Corporation's credit card accounts are owned and
administered by FCCNB, a Delaware-based national banking association. FCCNB
ranks among the largest issuers of bank credit cards in the United States. The
Corporation's Credit Card operations centers are located in Wilmington,
Delaware; Elgin, Illinois; Indianapolis, Indiana; Troy, Michigan; and
Uniondale (Long Island), New York. A processing center in Springfield,
Missouri, is currently under construction. At December 31, 1996, Credit Card
managed approximately $18.5 billion in card-related receivables.
Financial and Risk Policy
The Corporation's Risk Management Committee determines the desired risk
profile of the Corporation, allocates resources, including risk capacity
against expected return, to the lines of business, approves major investment
programs that are consistent with strategic priorities and risk appetite, and
makes capital management decisions to appropriately fund the Corporation's
portfolio of investments. The Risk Management Committee includes, among
others, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, the Vice Chairmen, the Chief
Risk Management Officer and the Chief Financial Officer.
The Risk Management Committee is supported by: the Credit Risk Committees,
which are responsible for approving credit exposures within authorities
granted; the Investment Risk Management Committee, which is responsible for
approving trading and investment/sale decisions for the Corporation's own
account, managing the Corporation's liquidity, monitoring and adjusting
structural interest rate risk, and overseeing market-related trading
activities; the Fiduciary Risk Committee, which is responsible for approving
the processes and mechanisms designed to mitigate fiduciary risks; the
Operating Risk Committee, which is responsible for approving the processes and
mechanisms designed to mitigate operating risks; and the Review Committee,
which is responsible for providing strategic direction and senior management
oversight for the risk management process.
EMPLOYEES
As of December 31, 1996, the Corporation and its subsidiaries had 33,414
employees on a full-time-equivalent basis.
COMPETITION
All of the Corporation's principal business activities are highly
competitive. The Corporation's subsidiaries, including the bank subsidiaries
(the "Banks"), compete actively with other financial services providers
offering a wide array of financial products and services. The Corporation's
competitors include other national and state banks, savings banks, savings and
loan associations, finance companies, credit unions, mutual funds, securities
brokers, mortgage bankers, leasing companies, insurance companies, other
domestic and foreign financial institutions, and various nonfinancial
intermediaries.
MONETARY POLICY AND ECONOMIC CONTROLS
The earnings of the Banks, and therefore the earnings of the Corporation,
are affected by the policies of regulatory authorities, including the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "Federal Reserve Board"). An
important function of the Federal Reserve Board is to promote orderly economic
growth by influencing interest rates and the supply of money and credit. Among
the methods that have been used to achieve this objective are open market
operations in U.S. government securities, changes in the discount rate on
member bank borrowings, and changes in reserve requirements against bank
deposits. These methods are used in varying combinations to influence overall
growth and distribution of bank loans, investments and deposits, interest
rates on loans and securities, and rates paid for deposits.
The Federal Reserve Board's monetary policies strongly influence the
behavior of interest rates and can have a significant effect on the operating
results of commercial banks. Continued tame price inflation in 1996
contributed to the decision of the Federal Reserve Board to hold short-term
interest rates stable.
5
The effects of the various Federal Reserve Board policies on the future
business and earnings of the Corporation cannot be predicted. Other economic
controls also have affected the Corporation's operations in the past. The
Corporation cannot predict the nature or extent of any effects that possible
future governmental controls or legislation may have on its business and
earnings.
SUPERVISION AND REGULATION
General
Bank holding companies, banks and financial institutions generally are
highly regulated, with numerous federal and state laws and regulations
governing their activities. As a bank holding company, the Corporation is
subject to regulation under the BHC Act and to examination and supervision by
the Federal Reserve Board. Under the BHC Act, the Corporation is prohibited,
with certain exceptions, from acquiring or retaining direct or indirect
ownership or control of voting shares of any company that is not a bank or
bank holding company, and from engaging in activities other than those of
banking or of managing or controlling banks, other than companies engaged in
activities that the Federal Reserve Board determines to be so closely related
to the business of banking as to be a proper incident thereto. The acquisition
of direct or indirect ownership or control of a bank or bank holding company
by the Corporation also is subject to certain restrictions under the BHC Act
and applicable state laws.
The Corporation is a legal entity separate and distinct from the Banks and
the Corporation's other subsidiaries. The Banks are subject to certain
restrictions imposed by federal laws on any extensions of credit to the
Corporation or, with certain exceptions, other affiliates; on investments in
stock or other securities of the Corporation; on the taking of such securities
as collateral for loans; and on the terms of transactions between the Banks
and other subsidiaries. The Corporation and its subsidiaries also are subject
to certain restrictions with respect to engaging in the issuance, flotation,
underwriting, public sale or distribution of securities.
The national bank subsidiaries of the Corporation, including FNBC, ANB,
FCCNB and NBD Indiana, are supervised, examined and regulated by the Office of
the Comptroller of the Currency (the "Comptroller") under the National Bank
Act. Since national banks also are members of the Federal Reserve System and
their deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the
"FDIC"), they also are subject to the applicable provisions of the Federal
Reserve Act, the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and, in certain respects, to
state laws applicable to financial institutions. NBD Michigan and the other
state-chartered bank subsidiaries of the Corporation are, in general, subject
to the same or similar restrictions and regulations, but with more extensive
regulation and examination by state banking departments, the Federal Reserve
Board for state banks that are members of the Federal Reserve System, and the
FDIC for state banks that are not members of the Federal Reserve System. In
addition, the Banks' operations in other countries are subject to various
restrictions imposed by the laws of those countries.
Federal law prohibits the Corporation and certain of its subsidiaries from
borrowing from the Banks without the prior approval of the respective Bank's
Board of Directors and unless such loans are secured by United States Treasury
securities or other specified obligations. Further, such loans and investments
by any of the Banks to the Corporation or any other affiliate are limited to
10% of the respective Bank's capital and surplus, and as to the Corporation
and all such affiliates to an aggregate 20% of the respective Bank's capital
and surplus. Under Federal Reserve Board policy, the Corporation is expected
to act as a source of financial strength to each Bank and to commit resources
to support such Bank in circumstances where it might not do so absent that
policy. In addition, any capital loans by the Corporation to any of the Banks
would be subordinate in right of payment to deposits and to certain other
indebtedness of such Bank.
Additionally, there are certain federal and state regulatory limitations on
the payment of dividends to the Corporation by the Banks. Dividend payments by
national banks are limited to the lesser of (i) the level of undivided profits
and (ii) absent regulatory approval, an amount not in excess of net income for
the current year combined with retained net income for the preceding two
years. As of January 1, 1997, the Banks could
6
have declared additional dividends of approximately $0.9 billion without the
approval of bank regulatory agencies. The payment of dividends by any Bank
also may be affected by other factors, such as the maintenance of adequate
capital for that Bank. Banking regulatory agencies have the authority to
prohibit the banking organizations they supervise from paying dividends if, in
the regulator's opinion, the payment of dividends would, in light of the
bank's financial condition, constitute an unsafe or unsound practice.
The BHC Act, subject to certain exceptions, generally prohibits the Banks
from entering into certain tie-in arrangements in connection with extensions
of credit or providing property or services.
Legislation may be enacted or regulations imposed in the United States or
its political subdivisions, or in any other jurisdiction in which the
Corporation does business, to further regulate banking and financial services.
There can be no assurance that any such legislation or regulation will not
place additional limitations or restrictions on the Corporation's or any
Bank's operations.
Capital Adequacy
The Federal Reserve Board has adopted risk-based capital guidelines that
require bank holding companies to maintain a minimum ratio of total capital to
risk-weighted assets (including certain off-balance-sheet items, such as
standby letters of credit) of 8%. At least half of total capital must be
composed of common stockholders' equity, minority interest, noncumulative
perpetual preferred stock, and a limited amount of cumulative perpetual
preferred stock, less disallowed intangibles and other adjustments ("Tier I
capital"). The remainder ("Tier II capital") may consist of subordinated debt,
other preferred stock, certain other instruments and a limited amount of loan
loss reserves. At December 31, 1996, the Corporation's consolidated Tier I
capital and total capital ratios were 9.2% and 13.3%, respectively.
In addition, the Federal Reserve Board has established minimum leverage
ratio guidelines for bank holding companies. These guidelines provide for a
minimum ratio of Tier I capital to total average assets (the "leverage ratio")
of 3% for bank holding companies that meet certain specified criteria,
including those having the highest regulatory rating. All other bank holding
companies generally are required to maintain a leverage ratio of at least 3%
plus an additional cushion of 100 to 200 basis points. The Corporation's
leverage ratio at December 31, 1996, was 9.3%. The guidelines also provide
that bank holding companies experiencing internal growth or making
acquisitions will be expected to maintain strong capital positions
substantially above the minimum supervisory levels without significant
reliance on intangible assets. Furthermore, the Federal Reserve Board has
indicated that it will consider a "tangible Tier I capital leverage ratio"
(deducting all intangibles) and other indicia of capital strength in
evaluating proposals for expansion or new activities.
Each of the Banks is subject to similar risk-based and leverage capital
requirements adopted by the applicable federal bank regulatory agency. Each of
the Banks was in compliance with the applicable minimum capital requirements
as of December 31, 1996. Neither the Corporation nor any of the Banks has been
advised by any federal bank regulatory agency of any specific minimum leverage
ratio requirement applicable to it.
Failure to meet capital requirements could subject a bank to a variety of
enforcement remedies, including the termination of deposit insurance by the
FDIC, and to certain restrictions on its business, which are described below
under "FDICIA and FIRREA."
FDICIA and FIRREA
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 ("FDICIA")
significantly expanded the regulatory and enforcement powers of federal
banking regulators, in particular the FDIC, and has important consequences for
the Corporation, the Banks and other depository institutions located in the
United States.
7
A major feature of FDICIA is the comprehensive directions it gives federal
banking regulators to promptly direct or require the correction of problems at
inadequately capitalized banks in the manner that is least costly to the
federal deposit insurance funds. The degree of corrective regulatory
involvement in the operations and management of banks and their holding
companies is, under FDICIA, largely determined by the actual or anticipated
capital positions of the subject institutions.
FDICIA established five tiers of capital measurement for regulatory purposes
ranging from "well-capitalized" to "critically undercapitalized." Under
regulations adopted by the federal banking agencies, a depository institution
is well-capitalized if it significantly exceeds the minimum level required by
regulation for each relevant capital measure, adequately capitalized if it
meets such measure, undercapitalized if it fails to meet any such measure,
significantly undercapitalized if it is significantly below such measure, and
critically undercapitalized if its tangible equity is not greater than 2% of
total tangible assets. A depository institution may be deemed to be in a
capitalization category lower than is indicated by its actual capital position
if it receives an unsatisfactory examination rating. FDICIA requires banking
regulators to take increasingly strong corrective steps, based on the capital
tier of any subject bank, to cause such bank to achieve and maintain capital
adequacy. Even if a bank is adequately capitalized, however, the banking
regulators are authorized to apply corrective measures if the bank is
determined to be in an unsafe or unsound condition or engaging in an unsafe or
unsound activity.
Depending on the level of capital of an insured depository institution, the
banking regulatory agencies' corrective powers can include: requiring a
capital restoration plan; placing limits on asset growth and restrictions on
activities; requiring the institution to reduce total assets; requiring the
institution to issue additional stock (including voting stock) or to be
acquired; placing restrictions on transactions with affiliates; restricting
the interest rate the institution may pay on deposits; ordering a new election
for the institution's board of directors; requiring that certain senior
executive officers or directors be dismissed; prohibiting the institution from
accepting deposits from correspondent banks; requiring the institution to
divest certain subsidiaries; prohibiting the payment of principal or interest
on subordinated debt; prohibiting the institution's parent holding company
from making capital distributions without prior regulatory approval; and,
ultimately, appointing a receiver for the institution.
If the insured depository institution is undercapitalized, the parent
holding company is required to guarantee that the institution will comply with
any capital restoration plan submitted to, and approved by, the appropriate
federal banking agency in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) 5% of the
institution's total assets at the time the institution became undercapitalized
or (ii) the amount that is necessary (or would have been necessary) to bring
the institution into compliance with all applicable capital standards as of
the time the institution fails to comply with the capital restoration plan. If
such parent holding company guarantee is not obtained, the capital restoration
plan may not be accepted by the banking regulators. As a result, such
institution would be subject to the more severe restrictions imposed on
significantly undercapitalized institutions. Further, the failure of such a
depository institution to submit an acceptable capital plan is grounds for the
appointment of a conservator or receiver.
FDICIA also contains a number of other provisions affecting depository
institutions, including additional reporting and independent auditing
requirements, the establishment of safety and soundness standards, the system
of risk-based assessments described below under "FDIC Insurance," a review of
accounting standards, and supplemental disclosures and limits on the ability
of all but well-capitalized depository institutions to acquire brokered
deposits.
Since FDICIA was enacted, Congress has enacted the Riegle Community
Development and Regulatory Improvement Act of 1994, the Economic Growth and
Regulatory Paperwork Reduction Act of 1996 and other legislation, which
contain a number of specific provisions easing to some extent the regulatory
burden on banks and bank holding companies, including some FDICIA-imposed
requirements, and which are intended to make the bank regulatory system more
efficient. Where required, federal banking regulators are taking actions to
implement these provisions.
8
The Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989
("FIRREA"), among other things, provides generally that, upon the default of
any bank of a multi-unit holding company, the FDIC may assess an affiliated
insured depository institution for the estimated losses incurred by the FDIC.
Specifically, FIRREA provides that a depository institution insured by the
FDIC can be held liable for any loss incurred by, or reasonably expected to be
incurred by, the FDIC in connection with (i) the default of a commonly
controlled FDIC-insured depository institution or (ii) any assistance provided
by the FDIC to a commonly controlled FDIC-insured depository institution in
danger of a default. "Default" is defined generally as the appointment of a
conservator or receiver. "In danger of a default" is defined generally as the
existence of certain conditions indicating that a default is likely to occur
in the absence of regulatory assistance. All of the Banks are FDIC-insured
depository institutions.

The Banks are subject to FDIC deposit insurance assessments. Under the
FDIC's risk-based assessment system, the assessment rate is based on
classification of a depository institution in one of nine risk assessment
categories. Such classification is based upon the institution's capital level
and upon certain supervisory evaluations of the institution by its primary
regulator.
The assessment rate schedule, effective January 1, 1997, creates a spread in
assessment rates ranging from 0.27% per annum on the amount of domestic
deposits for banks classified as weakest by the FDIC down to no annual
assessment for banks classified as strongest by the FDIC.
Interstate Banking and Branching
The Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994 (the
"Riegle-Neal Act") significantly revised prior laws applicable to interstate
acquisitions of banks and bank holding companies and the branching powers of
national banks. Prior to the Riegle-Neal Act, the Federal Reserve Board was
not permitted to approve an application to acquire shares of a bank located
outside the state in which the operations of the applicant's bank subsidiaries
were principally conducted unless the acquisition was specifically authorized
by a statute of the acquired bank's state. The Federal Reserve Board is now
authorized to approve an application of an adequately capitalized and
adequately managed bank holding company to acquire control of a bank located
in another state without regard to whether such transaction is prohibited
under the laws of such state. The Federal Reserve Board may not, however,
approve such an application if, following the acquisition, the applicant would
control either (l) more than 10% of all insured depository institution
deposits in the United States or (2) under certain circumstances, 30% or more
of all insured depository institution deposits in any state where either the
applicant or the acquired bank is located. The 30% limit on aggregate deposits
that may be controlled by an applicant can be adjusted by the states on a
nondiscriminatory basis.
The Riegle-Neal Act also revises the laws applicable to mergers between
insured banks located in different states. Before passage of the Riegle-Neal
Act, such mergers generally were not authorized. Commencing June l, 1997,
however, adequately capitalized and adequately managed insured banks in
different states may merge without regard to whether the merger is authorized
under the laws of any state. States may elect to prohibit interstate bank
mergers or may elect to permit early interstate bank mergers by adopting,
prior to June 1, 1997, legislation that expressly so provides, and that
applies on equal terms to all out-of-state banks. The Riegle-Neal Act provides
that an interstate merger involving the acquisition of a bank branch (as
distinguished from an entire bank) or the de novo establishment of a bank
branch in another state may be approved only if the law of the host state
expressly permits such action. Generally an interstate merger may not be
approved if, following the merger, the resulting bank (and all insured
depository institutions that are affiliates of the resulting bank) would
control (1) more than 10% of all insured depository institution deposits in
the United States or (2) under certain circumstances, 30% or more of all
insured depository institution deposits in any state where the resulting bank
will be located. The 30% limit on aggregate deposits that may be controlled by
the resulting bank can be adjusted
9
by the states on a nondiscriminatory basis. The laws of the host state
regarding community reinvestment, consumer protection, fair lending and the
establishment of intrastate branches will apply to any branch of an out-of-
state bank unless, in the case of an out-of-state branch of a national bank,
such host state laws are preempted by federal law or the Comptroller
determines that application of such laws would have a discriminatory effect on
the national bank.
The Riegle-Neal Act contains a number of other provisions related to banks
and bank holding companies, including: authorization of interstate branching
by foreign banks; additional branch closing notice requirements for interstate
banks proposing to close a branch in a low- or moderate-income area;
amendments to the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 to require separate
written evaluations of an insured depository institution for each state in
which it maintains branches; a prohibition on interstate banks maintaining
out-of-state deposit production offices; and authorization for a bank
subsidiary of a bank holding company to receive deposits, renew time deposits,
close and service loans, and receive payments on loans as agent for a
depository institution affiliate of such bank.
The extent to and terms on which full interstate branching and certain other
actions authorized under the Riegle-Neal Act are implemented will depend on
the actions of entities other than the Corporation and the Banks, including
the legislatures of the various states. Further developments by state and
federal authorities, including legislation, with respect to matters covered by
the Riegle-Neal Act reasonably can be anticipated to occur in the future. In
addition, there may be new banking legislation enacted or introduced in the
current Congress related to bank holding companies and their powers; the
likelihood of passage and effect, if any, of such legislation on the
Corporation and the Banks cannot be predicted.

Business segment results are derived from the internal profitability
reporting systems and reflect full allocation of all institutional and overhead
items. These systems use a detailed funds transfer methodology and an equity
allocation based on risk elements. Information for prior years has been
adjusted in order to achieve consistency for comparison purposes.
Credit Card results are presented before the securitization of credit card
receivables (presecuritized) to facilitate analysis of trends. See the
discussion of net interest income and noninterest income on pages 19 and 20,
respectively, as well as the reconciliation of reported to presecuritized
results on page 77.
Revenues and costs for investment management and insurance products are also
aligned with customers and, therefore, are reported within the appropriate
business segment. Certain corporate revenues and expenses, generally unusual or
one-time in nature, are included in "Other Activities."

More than 40% of the Corporation's earnings in 1996 were generated by
Regional Banking, where the Corporation is the leading banking company in the
three-state region of Illinois, Indiana and Michigan. This business segment
encompasses retail banking and investment management activities for consumers
as well as a host of financial services for small businesses and middle market
companies. Transactions are conducted through branch and electronic banking
networks. Additionally, ANB provides services specifically tailored to
Chicagoland's middle market.
Net income was $591 million for the year, up 15% from 1995. Return on equity
was slightly above 16%. Loan volume in Regional Banking averaged just under
$34 billion for 1996, up 8% from 1995.

driven by a 6% increase in total revenue and expense growth of less than 2%.
The provision for credit losses in the retail segment rose $32 million,
reflecting some deterioration in consumer credit quality.
Middle market earnings in 1996 were $299 million, up 13% from 1995. Return
on equity was 17%. Total revenue increased about 7%, mostly in loan spread and
deposit and trust fees. Credit quality improved year-over-year as the
provision dropped by $13 million. Operating efficiency remained excellent, at
47%.

The Corporation manages its corporate and institutional activities in two
distinct business segments: Corporate & Institutional Banking, which includes
customer-based businesses; and Corporate Investments, which comprises
activities such as venture capital, leveraged leasing, funding and arbitrage,
and the fixed income investment account. Together these two segments earned
$481 million in 1996, for a 13% return on equity. Despite operating expense
reductions in both segments, combined results were below the levels reported
in 1995 due to a shortfall in revenues generated by trading businesses.

N/M--Not meaningful
Detailed breakdowns for Corporate & Institutional Banking and Corporate
Investments are not available for 1994.
CORPORATE & INSTITUTIONAL BANKING
Corporate & Institutional Banking provides sophisticated products and
services to large corporations, governments, institutions and investors both
nationally and internationally. Specific areas of expertise include:
traditional credit products, syndications, corporate finance, cash management,
trade finance, stock transfer, corporate trust, trading and the derivatives
business. The Corporation is the leading provider of these products and
services in the Midwest.
Corporate & Institutional Banking earned $264 million in 1996, down about 5%
from 1995. Disappointing results from the foreign exchange and interest rate
derivatives businesses offset the gains in other areas. Expenses were down 5%
in 1996 as a result of merger synergies, lower trading-related incentive
compensation and disciplined expense management. In addition, the provision
for credit losses was 10% lower in 1996, reflecting excellent loan quality and
overall favorable economic conditions.
16
Return on equity for the segment was 8% in 1996, well below the 15% hurdle
rate targeted for this business. Corporate & Institutional Banking is focused
on increasing returns through maximizing profitability of products and
customer relationships, improving trading results and reducing the amount of
risk capital required to support the business.
CORPORATE INVESTMENTS
In 1996, Corporate Investments made a significant contribution to earnings,
generating $217 million, or 15%, of consolidated net income. Return on equity
was 48%. Strong equity securities gains--$232 million--drove this exceptional
performance. Lower asset and capital levels in 1996 reflected a substantial
decline in investment securities as part of the Corporation's asset reduction
strategy.
The nature of Corporate Investments implies that it will be a more variable
component of earnings going forward than the other business lines. However,
because of the Corporation's expertise in this high-return area, continued
significant earnings contributions are expected.

Among the largest bankcard issuers in the United States, Credit Card
contributed about one-quarter of the Corporation's earnings in 1996. For the
year, net income was $347 million and return on equity was a superior 32%.
Earnings in 1996 were 15% higher than in 1995, as average managed credit card
receivables grew 23% to $17.4 billion. At year-end 1996, receivables were
$18.5 billion. Consistent with this growth, common equity allocated to Credit
Card increased by about $300 million.
Net interest income rose $320 million, or 27%, in 1996 due to higher average
receivables volume. Likewise, fee income improved by $91 million, or 16%, due
in part to changes in fee pricing. Expenses increased a modest 3% as new
account solicitations declined from 1995's record level. Credit Card's
operating efficiency remained excellent in 1996, at 26%.
Credit Card is managed to achieve a superior return relative to risk over
time. In 1996, rapid deterioration in this business line's credit quality
partially offset the positive revenue and expense trends. The provision for
credit losses grew to $1,029 million, up $321 million from 1995. The average
net charge-off rate in the managed portfolio reached 5.8% for 1996, compared
with 4.0% for 1995 and 3.5% for 1994. This substantial rise reflected the
increasing rate of personal bankruptcy filings. Although the Corporation
expects the charge-off rate to continue rising in the near term, the level and
timing of the peak rate is uncertain.

Merger-related charges totaled $267 million in 1995, of which $225 million
was related to direct merger and restructuring costs. The remaining one-time
charges of $42 million were for the conformance of accounting practices
between the merged companies. Investment securities losses of $19 million in
1995 are also included in Other Activities.
Earnings for 1994 included gains of $46 million from the sale of assets held
in the accelerated disposition portfolio and a $35 million gain from the sale
of an interest in an investment management business. Noninterest expense in
1994 included a charge of $25 million related to the depreciation of personal
computer equipment and $19 million of other general corporate costs.
Earnings Analysis
SUMMARY
Net income for 1996 was $1.436 billion, or $4.32 per share, compared with
$1.150 billion, or $3.41 per share, in 1995 and $1.221 billion, or $3.58 per
share, in 1994.
Operating earnings for 1996, which excluded the after-tax effect of the one-
time special FDIC assessment, were $1.447 billion, or $4.36 per share.
Operating earnings for 1995, which excluded the after-tax effect of the
merger-related charges and fourth-quarter 1995 investment securities losses,
were $1.341 billion, or $3.99 per share.

The Corporation's 1996 results reflected the following highlights:
. Net interest income grew 12% and net interest margin improved 69
basis points to 3.83% as a result of loan growth in the credit card
and regional banking businesses as well as the effects of the targeted
asset reduction program.
. Adjusted fee revenue increased 10%, reflecting growth in both credit
card and other product-based revenue.
. Market-driven revenue was down 24%, principally due to disappointing
trading results; Corporate Investment activities turned in a strong
performance.
. Commercial credit quality remained strong as nonperforming assets
declined 27% to $290 million at year-end.
. Credit Card earned an attractive return on equity of 32%. The net
charge-off rate for credit card receivables increased to 5.8% for the
year, up from 4.0% in 1995 and 3.5% in 1994.
18
. Operating expense was slightly below the 1995 level.
. Merger-related initiatives were successfully completed, including
targeted earning asset reductions, key business integration efforts
and revenue enhancements.
In addition, in the fourth quarter the Corporation announced a common stock
repurchase program totaling 40 million shares to be executed over a 2-3 year
period. Under this program, 7.3 million shares were purchased during the
fourth quarter at an average price of $53.93.
NET INTEREST INCOME
Net interest income includes fundamental spreads on earning assets as well
as such items as loan fees, cash interest collections on problem loans,
dividend income, interest reversals, and income or expense on derivatives used
to manage interest rate risk.
Net interest margin measures how efficiently the Corporation uses its
earning assets and its underlying capital. In order to analyze fundamental
trends in net interest margin, it is useful to adjust for securitization of
credit card receivables and the activities of FCCM.

When credit card receivables are sold in securitization transactions, the
Corporation's earnings are unchanged. However, the net interest income related
to these high-yield assets is replaced by increased servicing fees, net of
related credit losses. The average levels of securitized receivables were $7.7
billion in 1996, $7.2 billion in 1995, and $5.5 billion in 1994.
FCCM is the Corporation's wholly owned subsidiary engaged in permissible
investment banking activities. Because capital requirements for FCCM are risk-
exposure driven rather than based on asset levels, FCCM can generate
substantial volumes of relatively riskless, thin-spread earning assets that
require little additional capital. The Corporation's net interest margin
trends can be better analyzed if these earning assets and related margins are
excluded.
Adjusted net interest income increased by $421 million, or 11%, in 1996. In
addition, adjusted net interest margin improved to 4.44% compared with 3.89%
in 1995. Loan growth in both the credit card and regional banking businesses,
coupled with the Corporation's successful efforts in reducing $25 billion of
targeted low-margin assets, accounted for this improved performance.
Adjusted net interest income in 1995 was up $377 million, or 11%, while
adjusted net interest margin was 3.89%, down slightly from 4.02% in 1994. The
1995 growth in dollar spread income was principally driven by a 14% increase
in adjusted average earning assets. Percentage spreads, on the other hand,
were down principally due to a less profitable earning asset mix, reflecting
the growth in thinly priced assets, including trading assets and loans to
large corporate banking customers.

NONINTEREST INCOME
Credit card fee revenue and total noninterest income have been adjusted to

amount of net servicing revenue (spread income less credit costs) associated
with securitized credit card receivables.

Combined trading profits totaled $58 million in 1996, compared with $210
million in 1995 and $86 million in 1994. Disappointing results from the
foreign exchange and interest rate derivative trading businesses accounted for
much of the 1996 decline. These trading businesses contributed to the improved
1995 results as increased customer demand and market volatility provided
additional profit opportunities. The following table provides additional
details on revenue from the Corporation's various trading businesses,
including both trading profits and net interest income generated from these
activities.

Equity securities gains, principally from Corporate Investment activities,
were $255 million during 1996, compared with $253 million in 1995 and $229
million in 1994.
Investment securities gains totaled $27 million in 1996, compared with
losses of $16 million in 1995 and $1 million in 1994. Beginning in the fourth
quarter of 1995, the investment securities portfolio was reduced through sales
and maturities as part of the Corporation's asset reduction program. From June
30, 1995, to December 31, 1996, the investment securities portfolio was
reduced by $6.5 billion.
20
Credit card fee revenue was $694 million in 1996, up 20% from 1995. The
increase was due to both higher transaction volume and pricing changes
instituted during 1996 to mitigate rising credit costs. Adjusted for the
reclassification of Mileage Plus payments, the growth in credit card fee
revenue in 1995 was 15%.
Fiduciary and investment management fees include revenue generated by the
Corporation's traditional trust products and services, investment management
activities, and the shareholder services business. Fees generated from these
activities decreased slightly in 1996, compared with a modest increase in
1995. In 1996, the Corporation decided to exit its stand-alone global custody
and master trust businesses; the exit should be substantially completed by the
second quarter of 1997. Revenues from these activities in 1996 totaled
approximately $54 million. Revenues from the shareholder services business
increased to $88 million in 1996 from $82 million in 1995 and $81 million in
1994. Revenue growth in the shareholder services business continues to be
hampered by industry consolidation and price competition.
Net gains from the active management of assets held in the accelerated
disposition portfolio were $6 million in 1996, compared with $37 million in
1995 and $46 million in 1994.
In the first quarter of 1996, the sale of the Corporation's Ohio branch
network to Fifth Third Bancorp generated a $6.9 million gain, which is
included in other noninterest income.
PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES
Details of the Corporation's credit risk management and performance are
presented in the "Credit Risk Management" section, beginning on page 30.
NONINTEREST EXPENSE
Operating expense in 1996 was $15 million below that of a year ago. Merger
savings were channeled into investments in technology and used to fund growth
in selected business activities.
Overall 1995 expense growth, adjusted for the reclassification of Mileage
Plus payments, was limited to 4% despite higher employee costs, increased
equipment costs and investment in core business growth.

Total employee costs grew by only $15 million, or 1%, in 1996, following an
increase of $90 million, or 6%, between 1994 and 1995. Salary costs increased
only slightly from a year ago as annual salary increases and higher
performance-based incentive accruals were partially offset by reduced staff
levels. Employee benefit costs increased $12 million in 1996 due mainly to
higher pension expense. The 6% increase in 1995 reflected staff increases in
certain business units as well as higher performance-based incentive costs.

Equipment expense increased 1% in 1996 to $227 million. A special charge of
$25 million was taken in 1994 to reflect the reduction in the estimated useful
life of existing personal computer equipment.
The changes in marketing costs over the past several years generally reflect
the level of credit card solicitation costs. Increased costs in 1995 supported
a significant solicitation program that produced a record 3.4 million credit
card accounts.
FDIC insurance expense, excluding a one-time special assessment in 1996 of
$18 million related to the recapitalization of the Savings Association
Insurance Fund (SAIF), totaled $4 million in 1996. The decline from 1995
resulted from a substantial reduction in the insurance rate for Bank Insurance
Fund deposits. However, a good portion of this expense savings was passed on
to business customers in the form of fee reductions.
Intangible amortization expense declined in both periods as certain core
deposit intangibles became fully amortized.
Merger-related charges in 1995 totaled $267 million, of which $225 million
was related to direct merger and related restructuring costs. Other charges of
$42 million were related to the one-time conformance of accounting practices.

Tax expense in 1994 included a one-time tax benefit related to the
implementation of final Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") bad debt recapture
regulations as well as the effects of several favorable tax rulings.
MERGER-RELATED INITIATIVES
The Corporation successfully completed its merger-related initiatives in
1996, including targeted asset reductions, key business integration efforts to
generate cost savings of $200 million, and revenue enhancements of $50 million
from cross-sales of products to an expanded customer base.
The Corporation completed its $25 billion asset reduction program by
September 30, 1996, well ahead of schedule. The following table shows the
components of the $25 billion decline using average assets for the first half
of 1995 as a baseline.

(1) Includes approximately $1.8 billion of investment securities required in
conjunction with the Corporation's government-related cash management and
payment services.
The Corporation has made the decisions necessary to effectively integrate
its business activities, including organization and staffing changes to
facilitate their implementation. At year-end 1996, staff reductions of over
2,000 had been identified, with severance payments already initiated for
approximately 1,800 of such positions. The remaining identified staff
reductions will occur as integration decisions are fully implemented. Staff
level reductions have more than exceeded the Corporation's initially
established goals.
The Corporation has realized incremental fee revenue as a result of its
wider array of product offerings to an expanded customer base. This has been
particularly evident in increased cash management fee revenue and net interest
income despite targeted asset reductions. In addition, due to an upgrade in
its credit ratings, the Corporation has generated additional business with new
customers.
The Corporation established a reserve for direct merger and restructuring-
related charges totaling $225 million at the time of the merger. The table
below details the components of the reserve at year-end 1996 and 1995.

At this time, the Corporation anticipates full usage of the merger reserve
based on the projected cost of identified business actions. Such costs (i.e.
severance payments, lease payments) will be absorbed by the merger reserve as
incurred based on existing contractual arrangements.
Risk Management
The Corporation's various business activities generate liquidity, market and
credit risks:
. Liquidity risk is the possibility of being unable to meet all present and
future financial obligations in a timely manner.
. Market risk is the possibility that changes in future market rates or
prices will make the Corporation's positions less valuable.
. Credit risk is the possibility of loss from the failure of a customer to
perform according to the terms of a transaction.
Compensation for assuming these risks is reflected in interest income,
combined trading profits and fee income. In addition, these risks are factored
into the allocation of capital to support various business activities, as
discussed in the "Capital Management" section, beginning on page 37.
The Corporation is a party to transactions involving financial instruments
that create risks that may or may not be reflected on a traditional balance
sheet. These financial instruments can be subdivided into three categories:
. Cash financial instruments, generally characterized as on-balance-sheet
transactions, include loans, bonds, stocks and deposits.
. Credit-related financial instruments include such instruments as
commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit.
. Derivative financial instruments include such instruments as interest
rate, foreign exchange, commodity price and equity price contracts,
including forwards, swaps and options.
The Corporation's risk management policies are intended to monitor and limit
exposure to liquidity, market and credit risks that arise from each of these
financial instruments.
Liquidity Risk Management
Liquidity risk management encompasses the Corporation's ability to meet all
present and future financial obligations in a timely manner. The Consolidated
Statement of Cash Flows, on page 44, presents data on cash and cash
equivalents provided by and used in operating, investing and financing
activities. The Corporation considers strong capital ratios, credit quality
and core earnings as essential to retaining high credit ratings and, thereby,
cost-effective access to market liquidity.
The Corporation believes its prudent management policies and guidelines will
ensure adequate levels of liquidity to fund anticipated needs of on- and off-
balance-sheet items. In addition, a contingency funding plan identifies
actions to be taken in response to an adverse liquidity event. The objectives
of liquidity management policies are to maintain:
. strong credit ratings and capital ratios;
. adequate liquid assets;
. liability diversification among instruments, maturities and customers;
and
. a continuously strong presence both in the wholesale purchased funds
market and in the retail deposit market.
Strong credit ratings foster the ability to attract wholesale funds on a
regular basis and at a competitive cost. The Corporation's principal Banks
(referred to collectively as the "Principal Banks"), comprising ANB, FNBC,
FCCNB, NBD Indiana and NBD Michigan, all have identical ratings. The short-
term debt ratings for
24
the parent cover commercial paper issuances. The long- and short-term debt
ratings for the Principal Banks cover bank note issuances.

Liquid assets are maintained in the form of federal funds sold, deposit
placements and selected investment securities to meet any immediate cash flow
obligations. Note 6, beginning on page 50, provides a detailed breakdown of
the investment portfolio.
The Corporation segments its balance sheet into liquid assets, core assets
and non-core assets for liquidity management purposes. Liabilities are grouped
as core liabilities, wholesale purchased funds and non-core liabilities. Core
assets and liabilities consist primarily of customer-driven lending and
deposit-taking activities. The large retail customer deposit base (the
principal component of core liabilities) is one of the significant sources of
liquidity. Through its various banking entities, the Corporation maintains
direct access to local retail deposit markets and uses a network of brokers
for gathering retail deposits on a national basis. Core liabilities also
include subordinated debt and equity.
As part of the monthly liquidity measurement process, the funding of core
assets with core liabilities is monitored. As of December 31, 1996, 78% of
core assets were funded with core liabilities. The wholesale market provided
only 22% of core asset funding. The Corporation has established a 35% limit on
the use of wholesale purchased funds for funding core assets. By limiting
dependence on the wholesale market, the risk of a disruption to the
Corporation's lending business from an adverse liquidity event is minimized.
Access to a variety of funding markets and customers in the retail and
wholesale sectors is vital both to liquidity management and to cost
minimization. A reliable, diversified mix of funding from the wholesale market
is created by active participation in global capital markets. Internal
guidelines are used to manage the product mix and customer concentration of
wholesale funding. In addition, as part of the normal liquidity management
process, the Corporation securitizes and sells assets such as credit card
receivables. Securitization is an important funding vehicle that both
diversifies funding sources and raises large amounts of term funding in a
cost-effective manner.

Market Risk Management
OVERVIEW
Market risk arises from changes in interest rates, exchange rates, commodity
prices and equity prices. The Corporation has risk management policies to
monitor and limit exposure to market risk. Through its trading activities, the
Corporation strives to take advantage of profit opportunities available in
interest and exchange rate movements. In asset and liability management
activities, policies are in place that are designed to minimize structural
interest rate and foreign exchange rate risk. The measurement of market risk
associated with financial instruments is meaningful only when all related and
offsetting on- and off-balance-sheet transactions are aggregated, and the
resulting net positions are identified. Disclosures about the fair value of
financial instruments, which reflect changes in market prices and rates, can
be found in Note 17, beginning on page 66.
TRADING ACTIVITIES
The Corporation takes active trading positions in a variety of markets and
instruments, including U.S. government, municipal and money market securities.
It also maintains positions in derivative products associated with these
markets and instruments, such as interest rate and currency swaps, and
commodity and equity index options.
The Corporation's trading activities are primarily customer-oriented, and
trading positions are established as necessary for customers. In order to
accommodate customer demand, an inventory in capital markets instruments is
carried, and access to market liquidity is maintained by making bid-offer
prices to other market makers. Although these two activities constitute
proprietary trading business, they are essential to providing customers with
capital markets products at competitive prices.
Many trading positions are kept open for brief periods of time, often less
than one day. Other trading positions are held for longer periods, and these
positions are valued at prevailing market rates on a present value basis.
Realized and unrealized gains and losses on these positions are included in
noninterest income as combined trading profits.
Value at risk is intended to measure the maximum amount the Corporation
could lose, given a specified confidence level, over a given period of time.
The overall market risk that any business can assume is approved by the Risk
Management Committee of the Board of Directors, which utilizes a risk point
system in managing the Corporation's value at risk. Risk points measure the
market risk (potential overnight loss) in a capital markets product. Products
that have more inherent price volatility are assigned more risk points.
26
Value at risk is monitored in each significant trading portfolio on a daily
basis. The following charts show the average, maximum and minimum daily value
at risk for 1994, 1995 and 1996, and the actual trading revenue for each year.

Minimum $34 $24 $21 *Includes trading profits and net interest income.
Value at risk is estimated using statistical models calibrated at a three-
standard-deviation confidence interval. The Corporation has made significant
progress in recognizing offsets and correlations across different trading
portfolios. This has contributed to a decline in daily value at risk from 1995
to 1996. However, the Corporation's reported value at risk remains somewhat
overstated because all offsets and correlations are not fully considered in
the calculation. The Corporation is continuing its progress toward a fully
consolidated view of market risk.
STRUCTURAL INTEREST RATE RISK MANAGEMENT
Movements in interest rates can create fluctuations in the Corporation's
income and economic value due to an imbalance in the repricing or maturity of
asset, liability and off-balance-sheet positions. Interest rate risk exposure
is actively managed with the goal of minimizing the impact of interest rate
volatility on current earnings and on the market value of equity.
In general, the assets and liabilities generated through ordinary business
activities do not naturally create offsetting positions with respect to
repricing or maturity characteristics. Access to the derivatives market is an
important element in maintaining the Corporation's interest rate risk position
within policy guidelines. Using off-balance-sheet instruments, principally
interest rate swaps (asset and liability management or "ALM" derivatives), the
interest rate sensitivity of specific on-balance-sheet transactions, as well
as pools of assets or liabilities, is adjusted to maintain the desired
interest rate risk profile. At year-end 1996, the notional value of ALM
interest rate swaps totaled $9.6 billion, including $4.7 billion against
specific transactions and $4.9 billion against specific pools of assets or
liabilities.

====== ====== ======== ======== ==== ======
Swaps used to adjust the interest rate sensitivity of specific transactions
will not need to be replaced at maturity since the corresponding asset or
liability will mature along with the swap. However, swaps against the asset
and liability pools will have an impact on the overall risk position as they
mature and may need to be reissued to maintain the same interest rate risk
profile. These swaps could create modest earnings sensitivity to changes in
interest rates.
Substantially all ALM interest rate swaps are standard swap contracts. The
variable interest rates, which generally are the one-month, three-month and
six-month LIBOR rates in effect on the date of repricing, are assumed to
remain constant. However, the variable interest rates will change and would
affect the related weighted average information presented in the table.

The Corporation uses a variety of measurement tools to monitor and control
the overall interest rate risk exposure of both the on- and off-balance-sheet
positions, including the ALM derivatives. For each measurement tool, the level
of interest rate risk created by the assets, liabilities, equity and off-
balance-sheet positions are a function primarily of their contractual interest
rate repricing dates and contractual maturity (including principal
amortization) dates.
Modifications to the interest rate risk measure are made where there are
historical differences between contractual and actual payment flows. These
modifications are designed to capture principal prepayments on loans and early
withdrawals of deposits. Additionally, assumptions are made on the measurement
of the interest rate risk of indeterminate maturity assets, liabilities and
equity. Finally, income volatility from positions such as
28
credit card securitizations, mortgage servicing and cash management service
products, which subject servicing fee revenue to interest rate risk, are
included in one or more of the risk measures.
Static gap analysis is one of the tools used for interest rate risk
measurement. The net difference between the amount of assets, liabilities,
equity and off-balance-sheet instruments repricing within a cumulative
calendar period is typically referred to as the "rate sensitivity position."
Interest rate risks in trading and overseas balance sheet positions are
assumed to be matched and are managed principally as trading risks. The
Corporation's policy is to limit the cumulative one-year gap position,
including ALM derivatives, to within 4% of total assets.
The following table details the Corporation's static gap position. As of
December 31, 1996, the cumulative one-year gap position was 1.0% of total
assets.

Static gap analysis does not fully capture the impact of embedded options,
lagged interest rate changes, administered interest rate products, or certain
off-balance-sheet sensitivities to interest rate movements. Therefore, this
tool cannot be used in isolation to determine the level of interest rate risk
exposure in more complex banking institutions. The Corporation performs an
earnings simulation analysis and a value-at-risk measure to identify more
dynamic interest rate risk exposures, including embedded option positions.
The earnings simulation analysis estimates the effect that specific interest
rate changes would have on 12 months of pretax earnings. This exercise
includes management assumptions regarding the level of interest rate or
balance changes on indeterminate maturity deposit products (passbook savings,
money market, NOW and demand deposits) for a given level of market rate
changes. These assumptions have been developed through a combination of
historical analysis and future expected pricing behavior. Interest rate caps
and floors on all products are included to the extent that they are exercised
in the 12-month simulation period. Additionally, changes in prepayment
behavior of the residential mortgage portfolio in each rate environment are
captured using industry estimates of prepayment speeds for various coupon
segments of the portfolio. Sensitivity of fee income to market interest rate
levels, such as those related to securitized credit card receivables, cash
management service products and mortgage servicing, are included as well.
Finally, the impact of planned growth and anticipated new business activities
is factored into the simulation model.
29
The Corporation's policy is to limit the change in annual pretax earnings to
$100 million from an immediate parallel change in interest rates of 200 basis
points. As of December 31, 1996, the Corporation had the following estimated
earnings sensitivity profile.

FOREIGN EXCHANGE RISK MANAGEMENT
Wherever possible, foreign currency-denominated assets are funded with
liability instruments denominated in the same currency. If a liability
denominated in the same currency is not immediately available or desired, a
forward foreign exchange contract is used to fully hedge the risk due to
cross-currency funding.
To minimize the earnings and capital impact of translation gains or losses
measured on an after-tax basis, the Corporation uses forward foreign exchange
contracts on a selective basis to hedge the exposure created by investments in
overseas branches and subsidiaries.
Credit Risk Management
The Corporation has developed policies and procedures to manage the level
and composition of risk in its credit portfolio. The objective of this credit
risk management process is to quantify and manage credit risk on a portfolio
basis as well as to reduce the risk of a loss resulting from a customer's
failure to perform according to the terms of a transaction.
Customer transactions create credit exposure that is reported both on and
off the balance sheet. On-balance-sheet credit exposure includes such items as
loans and derivative financial instruments. Off-balance-sheet credit exposure
includes unfunded credit commitments and other credit-related financial
instruments. Credit exposures resulting from derivative financial instruments
are reported both on and off the balance sheet as explained on page 36.

ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES
The allowance for credit losses is maintained at a level that in
management's judgment is adequate to provide for estimated probable credit
losses inherent in various on- and off-balance-sheet financial instruments.
The level of the allowance reflects management's formal review and analysis of
potential credit losses, as well as prevailing economic conditions. Each
quarter, the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses is evaluated and
reported to a committee of the Board of Directors.

CONSUMER RISK MANAGEMENT
Consumer loans consist of credit card receivables as well as home mortgage
loans, automobile financing and other forms of consumer installment credit.
The consumer loan portfolio increased slightly during the year to $27.1
billion at year-end 1996. Including securitized credit card receivables, the
consumer portfolio increased $1.8 billion, or 5%, to $35.9 billion at December
31, 1996.

Consumer risk management focuses on the credit card segment separately from
other parts of the portfolio. For both the on-balance-sheet and the
securitized credit card portfolios, loss potential is tested using
statistically expected levels of losses based on delinquencies and on the
source, age and other risk characteristics of each portfolio.
For the other segments of the consumer portfolio, reserve factors are based
on historical loss rates, trends and other relevant risk factors.
Managed credit card receivables (i.e. those held in the portfolio and those
sold to investors through securitization) were $18.5 billion at December 31,
1996, up 5% from 1995. Average managed credit card receivables grew to $17.4
billion in 1996, up 23% from 1995.
Credit card receivables represent the most significant risk element in the
consumer portfolio. The credit card charge-off rate of 5.8% in 1996 represents
a significant increase from prior years. In addition, the portfolio
experienced an increase in delinquency rates as presented in the following
table.

Credit card receivables are generally charged off no later than 180 days
past due, or earlier in the event of bankruptcy. Current levels of
unemployment and personal bankruptcy filings make reductions in the charge-off
rate unlikely in the near term. Consumer debt service burden and defaults have
increased as a result of the
33
growing consumer debt levels coupled with stagnant real wage growth. In
response to these trends, credit management policies and practices have been
tightened.
COMMERCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT
The commercial risk portfolio includes all domestic and foreign commercial
credit exposure. Credit exposure includes the credit risks associated with
both on- and off-balance-sheet financial instruments.
Commercial loans increased 3% from $38.1 billion at December 31, 1995, to
$39.4 billion at December 31, 1996. Commercial net charge-offs were $62
million in 1996, up from the relatively low levels of $12 million in 1995 and
$6 million in 1994. At the same time, the level of nonperforming commercial
assets declined $107 million to $290 million at year-end 1996, representing
0.4% of total loans and other real estate.
In the commercial portfolio, credit quality is rated according to defined
levels of credit risk. The lower categories of credit risk are equivalent to
the four bank regulatory classifications: Special Mention, Substandard,
Doubtful and Loss. These categories define levels of credit deterioration at
which it may be increasingly difficult for the Corporation to be fully repaid
without restructuring the credit.
Each quarter, the Corporation conducts an asset-by-asset review of
significant lower-rated credit or country exposure. Potential losses are
identified during this review, and reserves are adjusted accordingly.

COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE
Commercial real estate consists primarily of loans secured by real estate as
well as certain loans that are real estate-related. A loan is categorized as
real estate-related when 80% or more of the borrower's revenues are derived
from real estate activities and the loan is not collateralized by cash or
marketable securities.
At December 31, 1996, commercial real estate loans totaled $6.2 billion, or
16% of commercial loans, compared with $7.3 billion, or 19% of commercial
loans, at December 31, 1995. During 1996, net charge-offs in the commercial
real estate portfolio segment were under $1 million, compared with $9 million
in 1995.
34
Nonperforming commercial real estate assets, including other real estate,
totaled $128 million, or 2.1% of related assets, at December 31, 1996,
compared with $125 million, or 1.7% of related assets, at December 31, 1995.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Corporation uses a variety of derivative financial instruments in its
trading, asset and liability management, and Corporate Investment activities.
These instruments include interest rate, currency, commodity and equity swaps,
forwards, futures, options, caps, floors, forward rate agreements, and other
conditional or exchange contracts, and include both exchange-traded and over-
the-counter contracts. See Note 15, beginning on page 63, for a discussion of
the nature and terms of derivative financial instruments.

ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Derivative financial instruments used in trading activities are valued at
prevailing market rates on a present-value basis. Realized and unrealized
gains and losses are included in noninterest income as combined trading
profits. Where appropriate, compensation for credit risk and ongoing servicing
is deferred and recorded as income over the term of the derivative financial
instrument.
Income or expense on most derivative financial instruments used to manage
interest rate exposure is recorded on an accrual basis, as an adjustment to
the yield of the related exposures over the periods covered by the contracts.
The income recognition treatment of the related exposure, generally assets or
liabilities carried at historical cost, is recorded on an accrual basis. If an
interest rate swap is terminated early, any resulting gain or loss is deferred
and amortized as an adjustment of the yield on the underlying interest rate
exposure position over the remaining periods originally covered by the
terminated swap. If all or part of an underlying position is terminated, e.g.,
an underlying asset is sold or prepaid, the related pro rata portion of any
unrecognized gain or loss on the swap is recognized in income at that time, as
part of the gain or loss on the termination, sale or prepayment.
35
In general, purchased option, cap and floor contracts are reported in
derivative product assets, and written option, cap and floor contracts are
reported in derivative product liabilities. For other derivative financial
instruments, an unrealized gain is reported in derivative product assets and
an unrealized loss is reported in derivative product liabilities. Derivative
financial instruments executed with the same counterparty under a legally
enforceable master netting arrangement are reported on a net basis. Cash flows
from derivative financial instruments are reported net as operating
activities.
INCOME RESULTING FROM DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Corporation's income from derivatives used in trading activities is
included in the "Trading Revenue" table on page 20.
The Corporation uses interest rate derivative financial instruments to
reduce structural interest rate risk and the volatility of net interest
margin. Net interest margin reflects the effective use of these derivatives.
Without their use, net interest income would have been lower by $33 million in
1996, higher by $12 million in 1995, and lower by $48 million in 1994.
The sale of fixed- and floating-rate credit card receivables as securities
to investors subjects servicing revenue to interest rate risk. Therefore,
interest rate derivatives, whose terms match those of the credit card
securitizations, are used to reduce this volatility. Without the use of these
instruments, credit card fee revenue would have been reduced by $9 million in
1996, $6 million in 1995 and $39 million in 1994.
CREDIT EXPOSURE RESULTING FROM DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Corporation maintains risk management policies that monitor and limit
exposure to credit risks. For a further discussion of credit risks, see the
"Credit Risk Management" section, beginning on page 30.
Credit exposure from derivative financial instruments arises from the risk
of a customer default on the derivative contract. The amount of loss created
by the default is the replacement cost or current fair value of the defaulted
contract. The Corporation utilizes master netting agreements whenever possible
to reduce its credit exposure from customer default. These agreements allow
the netting of contracts with unrealized losses against contracts with
unrealized gains to the same customer, in the event of a customer default. The
table below shows the impact of these master netting agreements at December
31, 1996:
DECEMBER 31, 1996
(IN MILLIONS)

Gross replacement cost................................................. $14,933

-------
Current credit exposure................................................ 5,057
Less: Unrecognized net gains due to nontrading activity.............. (83)
-------
Balance sheet exposure................................................. $ 4,974
=======
The $5.057 billion of total current credit exposure represents the total
loss that the Corporation would have suffered had every counterparty been in
default on that date. This amount is reduced by $83 million related to the
unrealized and unrecognized gains on derivatives used to manage interest rate
exposures to arrive at the balance sheet exposure.
Since a derivative's replacement cost, measured by its fair value, is
subject to change over the contract's life, the Corporation's evaluation of
credit risk incorporates potential increases to the contract's fair value.
Potential exposure is calculated with a statistical model that estimates
changes over time in exchange rates, interest rates and other relevant factors
using a 95% confidence level. This potential credit exposure is calculated on
a portfolio basis incorporating master netting agreements as well as any
natural offsets that exist between
36
contracts within the customer's portfolio. In total, the potential credit
exposure was approximately $6.3 billion higher than the current credit
exposure at December 31, 1996.

Capital represents the stockholders' investment on which the Corporation
strives to generate attractive returns. It is the foundation of a cohesive
risk management framework that links return with risk. Capital supports
business growth and provides protection to depositors and creditors.
Key capital management objectives are to:
.generate attractive returns to enhance shareholder value;
.maintain a capital base commensurate with overall risk profile;
.maintain strong capital ratios relative to peers; and
.meet or exceed all regulatory guidelines.
In conjunction with the annual financial planning process, a capital plan is
established to ensure that the Corporation and all of its subsidiaries have
capital structures consistent with prudent management principles and
regulatory requirements.
ECONOMIC CAPITAL
In the normal course of business, the Corporation assumes several types of
risk: credit, liquidity, structural interest rate, market and
operating/fiduciary. To integrate the individual processes monitoring these
risks, an economic capital framework has been constructed to allocate capital
to business segments, products and customers based on the amount and type of
risk inherent in the activity. Return on economic capital is a key decision-
making tool for managing risk-taking activities, as well as for ensuring that
capital is efficiently and profitably employed.
A financial instrument or business activity attracts economic capital based
on its potential for loss of value over a particular time period. The
allocated amount is designed to cover unexpected losses to a desired level of
statistical significance. Credit and operating loss experiences form the basis
for assessing the volatility of these risks. Volatility of interest and
exchange rates and commodity and equity prices is used to determine the
capital for market risk. Total economic capital will vary proportionately with
the level and riskiness of the Corporation's businesses and products.
37
The Corporation has established a Tier 1 capital target necessary to provide
management flexibility while maintaining an adequate capital base for its
overall risk profile and in relation to its peers. The long-term target for
the Tier 1 ratio is 7% to 8%; this ratio is currently being managed to the
high end of the range. Line of business activities determine the Corporation's
risk profile and hence the total level of capital. Allocations of capital to
lines of business, which are used in performance measurement, equaled the 8%
target.
Excess capital, defined as common equity above that required for the 8% Tier
1 target, is available for core business investment and acquisitions. During
1996, this excess amount averaged $171 million, compared with $327 million in
1995. If attractive long-term opportunities are not available over time in
core businesses, management intends to return any excess capital to
stockholders, typically by way of stock repurchase programs and/or dividend
increases.
REGULATORY CAPITAL
The Corporation aims to maintain regulatory capital ratios, including those
of its principal banking subsidiaries, in excess of the well-capitalized
guidelines. To ensure this goal is met, target ranges of 7% to 8% have been
established for Tier 1 capital and 11% to 12% for total risk-based capital.
Both targets exceed the respective well-capitalized guidelines of 6% and 10%.
The Tier 1 and total capital ratios for the past three years have reached or
exceeded the upper end of the target ranges. The lower year-end 1995 ratios
reflect the impact of merger-related charges.

In the fourth quarter of 1996, two wholly owned consolidated trust
subsidiaries of the Corporation issued, in the aggregate, $750 million of
preferred securities. These "Trust Preferred Capital Securities" are tax-
advantaged issues that qualify for Tier 1 capital treatment. In January 1997,
an additional $250 million of Trust Preferred Capital Securities were issued.
During 1996, the Corporation increased Tier 2 capital through the issuance of
$300 million in subordinated debt.

By maintaining regulatory well-capitalized status, these banks benefit from
lower FDIC deposit premiums.
In September 1996, federal bank regulators amended risk-based capital
requirements to incorporate a measure for market risk inherent in the trading
portfolio. Under the new market risk requirements, capital will
39
be allocated to support the amount of market risk that relates to the
Corporation's trading activities. The market risk rules are not effective
until 1998. It is currently estimated that the new rules will not
significantly affect the risk-based capital ratios of the Corporation or the
Principal Banks.
DIVIDENDS
The Corporation's common dividend policy reflects its earnings outlook,
desired payout ratios, the need to maintain an adequate capital level and
alternative investment opportunities. The Corporation is currently targeting a
common dividend payout ratio in the range of 30% to 40% of operating earnings
over time. On November 8, 1996, the Corporation increased its quarterly common
dividend to $0.40 per share. This represented an 11% increase from the
previous $0.36 per share common dividend rate.

STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM AND OTHER CAPITAL ACTIVITIES
The repurchase of shares is an integral part of capital management used to
enhance shareholder value. The Corporation's stock repurchase program,
announced in October 1996, authorizes the repurchase of up to 40 million
shares of common stock. Under this authorization, the Corporation repurchased
7.3 million shares of common stock at an average price of $53.93 per share. At
December 31, 1996, 32.7 million shares remain available for repurchase under
this program.
On February 14, 1997, the Corporation authorized the redemption on April 1,
1997, of all shares outstanding of its 5 3/4% Cumulative Convertible Preferred
Stock, Series B, and the corresponding redemption of the related depositary
shares, each representing a one-hundredth interest in a share of the
Convertible Preferred Stock. As of December 31, 1996, there were 3,078,688
depositary shares of Series B outstanding.
DOUBLE LEVERAGE
Double leverage is the extent to which parent debt is used to finance equity
investments in subsidiaries. Presently, the Corporation intends to limit its
double leverage ratio to no more than 120% at any time. On December 31, 1996,
double leverage was 105%, compared with 115% at year-end 1995. Trust Preferred
Capital Securities of $748 million are included in capital for purposes of
this calculation.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FIRST CHICAGO NBD CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTE 1--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
On December 1, 1995, FCC merged with and into NBD, with the combined company
renamed First Chicago NBD Corporation. The merger was accounted for as a
pooling of interests, and accordingly, the financial statements prior to the
merger have been restated to reflect the consolidated results of the combined
company.
The consolidated financial statements for the Corporation, including its
subsidiaries, have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles. Such preparation requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements
and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates. Certain financial statement
reclassifications have been made to prior years' information to conform with
the current year's financial statement presentation.
(a) Principles of Consolidation
The Corporation's consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
the Corporation (the "Parent Company") and all subsidiaries more than 50%
owned. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated.
(b) Trading Activities
Trading assets and liabilities are carried at fair value. Realized and
unrealized gains and losses related to trading activities are reflected in
noninterest income as combined trading profits.
Combined trading profits include interest rate, exchange rate, commodity
price, and equity price trading results from both cash and derivative
financial instruments. More information on the Corporation's trading revenue
is shown in the "Trading Revenue" table on page 20.
(c) Investment Securities
In 1995, the Corporation reclassified all held-to-maturity debt securities
to available-for-sale and recorded a $156 million unrealized pretax gain in
the fair value adjustment on investment securities available-for-sale in
stockholders' equity. Previously, these debt investment securities were
carried at amortized cost. The decision to reclassify was made in conjunction
with the Financial Accounting Standards Board's ("FASB") issuance of an
implementation guide.
Debt and equity investment securities classified as available-for-sale are
carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses, net of applicable
income taxes, reported in the fair value adjustment on investment securities
available-for-sale in stockholders' equity. Realized gains and losses and
other than temporary impairments related to these securities are determined
using the specific identification method and are reported in noninterest
income as investment securities gains (losses) or equity securities gains, as
appropriate.
The Corporation carries investments of its venture capital subsidiaries at
fair value. Changes in the fair value of such investments are recognized in
noninterest income as equity securities gains. The fair value of publicly
traded investments takes into account their quoted market prices with
adjustments made for market liquidity or sale restrictions. For investments
that are not publicly traded, management has made estimates of fair value that
consider the investees' financial results, conditions and prospects, and the
values of comparable public companies.
45
(d) Loans
Loans are generally reported at the principal amount outstanding, net of
unearned income. Loans held for sale are valued at the lower of cost or fair
value with unrealized losses as well as realized gains or losses included in
other noninterest income.
Loan origination and commitment fees generally are deferred and amortized as
interest income over the life of the related loan. Other credit-related fees,
such as syndication management fees, commercial letters of credit fees, and
fees on unused, available lines of credit, are recorded as service charges and
commissions in noninterest income when earned.
Loans, including lease financing receivables, are considered nonperforming
when placed on nonaccrual status, or when renegotiated at terms that represent
an economic concession to the borrower. Nonperforming loans are generally
identified as "impaired loans."
A commercial loan is placed on nonaccrual status when the collection of
contractual principal or interest is deemed doubtful by management or becomes
90 days or more past due, and the loan is not well-secured and in the process
of collection. Accrued but uncollected interest is reversed and charged
against interest income when the commercial loan is placed on nonaccrual
status.
Interest payments on a partially charged-off commercial loan are applied to
the remaining principal balance until the balance is fully recovered. Once
principal is recovered, cash payments received are recorded as recoveries to
the extent of prior charge-offs, and then as interest income.
A charge-off on a commercial loan is recorded in the reporting period in
which either an event occurs that confirms the existence of a loss or it is
determined a loan or a portion of a loan is uncollectible.
Consumer loans are generally not placed on nonaccrual status but are
typically charged off after reaching certain delinquency periods that range
from approximately 120 to 180 days past due. The timing and amount of the
charge-off will depend on the type of consumer loan and any related
collateral. Accrued but uncollected interest on a consumer loan typically is
reversed against interest income when the loan is charged off.
An economic concession on a renegotiated loan may represent forgiveness of
principal and/or interest or a below-market interest rate offered to the
borrower to maximize recovery of the loan. Generally, this occurs when the
borrower's cash flow is insufficient to service the loan under its original
terms. Subject to the above nonaccrual policy, interest on these loans is
accrued at the reduced rates.
(e) Credit Card Securitization
The Corporation actively packages and sells credit card receivables as
securities to investors. At the time of securitization no gain or loss is
recorded since the amount of proceeds received is equal to the par value of
the receivables. Transaction costs are deferred and amortized ratably as a
reduction of servicing fees over the terms of the related securitizations. The
amount of credit card interest income and fee revenue in excess of interest
paid to certificate holders, credit losses and other trust expenses is
recognized on an accrual basis as servicing fees in credit card fee revenue.
Refer to Section (o) of this note for further details.
(f) Allowance for Credit Losses
The allowance for credit losses is maintained at a level that in
management's judgment is adequate to provide for estimated probable credit
losses inherent in on- and off-balance-sheet credit exposure. The allowance
for credit losses attributable to off-balance-sheet credit exposure is not
material. The amount of the allowance is based on formal review and analysis
of potential credit losses, as well as prevailing economic conditions.
46
(g) Premises and Equipment
Premises and equipment are carried at amortized cost. Depreciation is
charged to noninterest expense over the estimated useful lives of the assets
on either a straight-line or an accelerated depreciation basis. Leasehold
improvements are amortized over the terms of the respective leases or the
estimated useful lives of the improvements, whichever is shorter. Maintenance,
repairs and minor alterations are expensed as incurred. Gains and losses on
disposition are reflected in other noninterest income.
(h) Other Real Estate
Other real estate includes primarily assets that have been received in
satisfaction of debt. Other real estate is initially recorded and subsequently
carried at the lower of cost or fair value less estimated selling costs. Any
valuation adjustments required at the date of transfer are charged to the
allowance for credit losses. Operating results from other real estate are
recorded in other noninterest expense.
(i) Intangible Assets
Intangible assets are included in other assets. Goodwill, representing the
cost of investments in subsidiaries and affiliated companies in excess of the
fair value of net assets acquired, is amortized on a straight-line basis over
periods ranging from 10 to 25 years.
Other intangible assets, such as customer lists, core deposits and credit
card relationships, are amortized using various methods over the periods
benefited.
(j) Derivative Financial Instruments
For a discussion of the Corporation's accounting policies for derivative
financial instruments, see pages 35 and 36.
(k) Foreign Currency Translation
When the primary operating currency (functional currency) of a foreign
installation is the U.S. dollar, its monetary assets and liabilities carried
in local currency are remeasured into U.S. dollars at current exchange rates.
Its premises and equipment are remeasured at historical exchange rates.
Remeasurement effects and the results of related hedging transactions are
included in other noninterest income.
If the foreign installation's functional currency is its local currency, all
assets and liabilities are translated at current exchange rates. Translation
adjustments, related hedging results and applicable income taxes are included
in accumulated translation adjustment within stockholders' equity.
(l) Mortgage Servicing Rights
The Corporation adopted SFAS No. 122, "Accounting for Mortgage Servicing
Rights," on January 1, 1996. This Statement amended existing accounting rules
by requiring originated mortgage servicing rights to be capitalized under
certain circumstances. SFAS No. 122 also requires that the Corporation's
portfolio be stratified by primary risk characteristics when assessing
impairment. The Corporation stratifies its portfolio by both product type and
interest rate bands. The statement did not have a material effect on the
Corporation's financial results in 1996. Refer to Section (o) of this Note for
more details.
(m) Stock-Based Compensation
In 1996, the Corporation adopted SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation." Under the provisions of this Statement, the Corporation elected
to retain its current method of measuring and recognizing costs (the intrinsic
value method) related to employee stock compensation plans and to disclose the
pro forma effect of applying the fair value method contained in SFAS No. 123.
Accordingly, there continue to be no
47
compensation costs charged against income for stock options awarded under the
Corporation's Stock Performance Plan or stock purchase rights offered under
its Employee Stock Purchase and Savings Plan. In addition, the unamortized
cost of performance and restricted shares awarded continues to be included in
deferred compensation, a separate component of stockholders' equity.
Information on the Corporation's stock-based compensation plans is included in
Note 12, beginning on page 57.
(n) Cash Flow Reporting
The Corporation uses the indirect method, which reports cash flows from
operating activities by adjusting net income to reconcile to net cash flows
from operating activities. Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and due
from banks, whether interest-bearing or not. Net reporting of cash
transactions has been used when the balance sheet items consist predominantly
of maturities of three months or less, or where otherwise permitted. Other
items are reported on a gross basis.
In 1996, $45 million of the Corporation's Cumulative Convertible Preferred
Stock was converted into common stock. See Note 11, beginning on page 56, for
more details.
In 1995, a noncash transfer of $7.2 billion attributable to reclassifying
debt investment securities from held-to-maturity to available-for-sale was
made. Refer to Section (c) of this note for more details.
(o) Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In 1996, the FASB issued SFAS No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and
Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities," which
generally became effective on a prospective basis beginning January 1, 1997.
In December, 1996, the FASB deferred the effective date of certain provisions,
primarily relating to collateral, securities lending and dollar repurchase
agreements until January 1, 1998. The new Statement establishes criteria based
on legal control to determine whether a transfer of a financial asset is a
sale or a secured borrowing. A sale is recognized when the Corporation
relinquishes control over a financial asset and is compensated for such asset.
The difference between net proceeds received and the carrying amount of the
financial asset(s) being sold or securitized is recognized as a gain or loss
on sale.
SFAS No. 125 also supersedes SFAS No. 122 and, in general, applies the
accounting for mortgage servicing rights under SFAS No. 122 to servicing
rights of all financial assets.
In general, the Corporation expects that transactions it recorded as sales
under prior accounting standards will continue to receive sales treatment
under the new Statement, and does not expect the new Statement to have a
significant effect on its financial results.
NOTE 2--EARNINGS PER SHARE
Earnings per share are presented on both a primary and a fully diluted
basis. Primary earnings per share were computed by dividing net income, after
deducting dividends on preferred stock, by the average number of common and
common-equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Common-equivalent
shares consist of net shares issuable under the Employee Stock Purchase and
Savings Plan and outstanding stock options.
The fully diluted earnings per share calculation also includes common shares
that would result from the conversion of convertible preferred stock and
convertible notes. Accordingly, net income was not reduced by preferred stock
dividend requirements related to convertible preferred stock or the interest
expense on the convertible notes.

NOTE 3--MERGER-RELATED CHARGES
In 1995, merger-related charges were $267 million and included direct merger
and restructuring-related charges totaling $225 million, as well as the effect
of conforming a number of accounting practices between FCC and NBD, which
totaled $42 million. The effect of conforming these practices is not material
to the Corporation's financial statements.
The following table provides details on the merger-related reserve as of
December 31, 1996, compared with that of a year ago and at consummation of the
merger transaction.

Personnel-related costs primarily reflect the costs of employee severance
packages. Facilities costs consist of lease termination costs and facilities-
related exit costs arising from the consolidation of duplicate headquarters
and operational facilities. Equipment costs consist of computer equipment and
software write-offs due to duplication or incompatibility.
The remaining reserve has been fully allocated to identified merger-related
activities and will be charged with costs as incurred based on existing
contractual arrangements.
NOTE 4--ACQUISITIONS
In July 1995, the Corporation consummated its merger with Deerbank
Corporation, a $766 million thrift holding company located in Deerfield,
Illinois. The merger was accounted for as a purchase. The purchase price of
$106 million was funded by the issuance of 3.3 million shares of the
Corporation's common stock. Before the closing, the Corporation repurchased an
amount of shares equivalent to the shares issued in the transaction.
In January 1995, the Corporation consummated its merger with AmeriFed
Financial Corp., a thrift holding company located in Joliet, Illinois, with
total assets of $910 million. The purchase price of $148 million was funded by
the issuance of 5.2 million shares of the Corporation's common stock. The
merger was accounted for as a purchase. The Corporation had repurchased 5.0
million of the shares issued before the closing of the merger, and repurchased
the remaining shares issued soon after the closing.
49
On July 8, 1994, the Corporation issued approximately 11.6 million shares of
its common stock for all of the common stock of Lake Shore Bancorp., Inc. of
Chicago, Illinois, with total assets of $1.2 billion and capital of $123
million. The combination was accounted for on a pooling-of-interests basis;
however, because the transaction was not considered significant from an
accounting perspective, the Corporation did not restate either 1994 or prior-
year financial data.
NOTE 5--BUSINESS SEGMENTS
The Corporation is engaged primarily in the banking business, and with the
continuing globalization of financial markets, the distinction between
international and domestic activities has become less important. The following
table shows approximate consolidated financial data for the three years ended
December 31, 1996, attributable to domestic and foreign operations. No foreign
geographic region accounted for more than 10% of consolidated results.

(1) Includes interest income and noninterest income.
(2) Includes interest expense, provision for credit losses and noninterest

Because many of the resources employed by the Corporation are common to both
its foreign and domestic activities, it is difficult to segregate assets,
related revenues and expenses into their foreign and domestic components. The
amounts in the preceding table are estimated on the basis of internally
developed assignment and allocation procedures, which to some extent are
subjective. The principal internal allocations used to prepare this
information are described below.
Corporate overhead is allocated based on individual activities. Expenses are
generally allocated to the geographic area benefited. Assets and revenues are
generally allocated based on the domicile of the customer. Capital, with the
exception of that invested in foreign subsidiaries, is allocated to domestic
operations.
For information regarding the Corporation's line of business activities, see
the "Business Segments--Overview" section on page 14 as well as the tables on
pages 15 to 18, which summarize financial results for the Corporation's major
business segments and other activities.

The amount of interest shortfall for related nonperforming loans at year-end
1996 was $16 million. The shortfall amount represents the difference between
the $27 million of interest contractually due and the $11 million of interest
actually recorded. For 1995, the interest shortfall related to nonperforming
loans at year-end was $19 million. Contractual amounts due were $32 million
and $13 million of interest was actually recorded.
Credit card receivables are available for sale through the Corporation's
credit card securitization program. In addition, other loans available for
sale at December 31, 1996 and 1995, totaled $545 million and $556 million,
respectively.
The Corporation has loans outstanding to certain of its directors and
executive officers and to partnerships or companies in which a director or
executive officer has at least a 10% beneficial interest. At December 31, 1996
and 1995, $339 million and $271 million, respectively, of such loans to
related parties were outstanding. An analysis of the activity during 1996 with
respect to such loans includes additions of $331 million, and reductions of
$263 million.

Effective January 1, 1995, the Corporation adopted SFAS No. 114, "Accounting
by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan," and SFAS No. 118, "Accounting by
Creditors for Impairment of a Loan--Income Recognition and Disclosures." SFAS
No. 114 addresses the accounting for a loan when it is probable that all
principal and interest amounts due will not be collected in accordance with
its contractual terms. Certain loans, such as loans carried at the lower of
cost or market or small-balance homogeneous loans (e.g., credit card
installment credit), are exempt from SFAS No. 114's provisions.
On a quarterly basis, the Corporation identifies impaired loans, and
impairment is recognized to the extent the recorded investment of an impaired
loan or pool of loans exceeds the calculated present value. Loans having a
significant recorded investment are measured on an individual basis while
loans not having a significant recorded investment are grouped and measured on
a pool basis.
The allocated reserve associated with impaired loans is considered in
management's determination of the allowance for credit losses.
At December 31, 1996, the recorded investment in impaired loans was $262
million, which required a related allowance for credit losses of $39 million.
Substantially all of the $262 million in impaired loans had a related
allowance for credit losses. At December 31, 1995, the recorded investment in
impaired loans was $363 million, which required a related allowance for credit
losses of $36 million.
The average recorded investment in impaired loans was approximately $341
million for 1996 and $302 million in 1995. The Corporation recognized interest
income associated with impaired loans of $17 million during 1996 and $15
million during 1995.
NOTE 9--PLEDGED AND RESTRICTED ASSETS
At December 31, 1996, $17.1 billion of assets were pledged to secure
government deposits, trust deposits, borrowings, and for other purposes
required by law.
The Banks are required to maintain noninterest-bearing cash balances with
the Federal Reserve based on the types and amounts of deposits held. During
1996 and 1995, the average balances maintained to meet this requirement were
$1.357 billion and $1.374 billion, respectively.
53
NOTE 10--LONG-TERM DEBT
Long-term debt consists of borrowings having an original maturity of over
one year. Original issue discount and deferred issuance costs are amortized
over the terms of the related notes. Long-term debt at December 31, 1996 and
1995, was as follows.

(A) PARENT COMPANY LONG-TERM DEBT
SUBORDINATED NOTES
These notes are subordinated to other indebtedness of the Corporation. The
fixed-rate notes have interest rates that range from 6 1/8% to 11 1/4% and
maturities that range from 1999 to 2023. The floating rate notes due in
54
2003 have an interest rate priced at the greater of 4 1/4% or the three-month
London interbank offered rate (LIBOR) plus 1/8%. The interest rate on this
issue on December 31, 1996, was 5 21/32%. The floating rate notes due 2005 may
be redeemed, in whole or in part, on any interest payment date at par.
Interest payment on the notes is at a rate of 1/4% above the average offered
rate quoted in the London interbank market for three-month Eurodollar deposits
but in no event may the rate be less than 5 1/4%. On December 31, 1996, the
interest rate was 5 3/4%.
Each 7 1/2% preferred purchase unit consists of a 7.40% subordinated
debenture due May 10, 2023, in a principal amount of $25 and a related
purchase contract paying fees of 0.10% of the principal amount of the
debenture per year. The contract requires the purchase on May 10, 2023 (or
earlier at the Corporation's election), of one depositary share representing a
one-fourth interest in a share of 7 1/2% cumulative preferred stock of the
Corporation at a purchase price of $25 per depositary share.
The equity commitment notes may not be redeemed prior to their stated
maturity. The agreements under which these notes were issued require the
Corporation, prior to maturity, to issue common stock, perpetual preferred
stock or other forms of equity approved by the Federal Reserve Board in an
amount equal to the original aggregate principal amount of the notes. As of
December 31, 1996, all the equity securities required by the agreements had
been issued.
SENIOR DEBT
The 8 1/2% notes are unsecured obligations that are not subordinated to any
other indebtedness of the Corporation and may not be redeemed prior to their
stated maturity.
Other Parent Company long-term debt of $1.475 billion includes various notes
with a weighted average interest rate of 6.03% and remaining weighted average
maturity of 22 months at December 31, 1996.
(B) SUBSIDIARIES' LONG-TERM DEBT
The bank notes are unsecured and unsubordinated debt obligations of the
Banks. At December 31, 1996, the weighted average rate of the bank notes was
6.06% and remaining weighted average maturity was 12 months.
The 6 1/4% subordinated notes due 2003 are unsecured, subordinated to the
claims of depositors and other creditors of NBD Michigan, and are not
redeemable prior to maturity.
The 8 1/4% subordinated notes due 2024 are unsecured, subordinated to the
claims of depositors and other creditors of NBD Michigan, and are not

(C) GUARANTEED PREFERRED BENEFICIAL INTEREST IN THE CORPORATION'S JUNIOR
SUBORDINATED DEBT
The $748 million of Guaranteed Preferred Beneficial Interest in the
Corporation's Junior Subordinated Debt ("Trust Preferred Capital Securities")
represents the net proceeds from the issuance of preferred capital securities
by First Chicago NBD Institutional Capital A ("the Series A Trust") and First
Chicago NBD Institutional Capital B ("the Series B Trust"). The Series A Trust
and the Series B Trust are statutory business trusts created in 1996 for the
sole purpose of issuing capital securities and investing the proceeds thereof
in junior subordinated debentures of the Corporation ("Junior Subordinated
Debt"). The preferred capital securities represent preferred individual
beneficial interests in the respective trusts and are subject to mandatory
redemption upon repayment of the Junior Subordinated Debt. The common
securities of each trust are owned by the Corporation. The Corporation's
obligations under the Junior Subordinated Debt and other relevant agreements,
in aggregate, constitute a full and unconditional guarantee by the Corporation
of such Trust's obligations under the preferred securities issued by the
Trust.
55
The Series A Trust issued $500 million in aggregate liquidation amount of
7.95% preferred capital securities in December 1996. The sole asset of the
Series A Trust is $515 million principal amount of 7.95% Junior Subordinated
Debt that will mature on December 1, 2026, and is redeemable prior to maturity
at the option of the Corporation on or after December 1, 2006.
The Series B Trust issued $250 million in aggregate liquidation amount of
7.75% preferred capital securities in December 1996. The sole asset of the
Series B Trust is $258 million principal amount of 7.75% Junior Subordinated
Debt that will mature on December 1, 2026, and is redeemable prior to maturity
at the option of the Corporation on or after December 1, 2006.
The Trust Preferred Capital Securities are tax-advantaged issues and qualify
as Tier 1 capital.
In January 1997, First Chicago NBD Capital I ("the Series I Trust"), a
statutory business trust, issued $250 million in aggregate liquidation amount
of floating rate preferred capital securities. The sole asset of the Series I
Trust is $258 million principal amount of floating rate Junior Subordinated
Debt of the Corporation that bears interest at an annual rate equal to three-
month LIBOR plus 0.55%, will mature on February 1, 2027, and is redeemable at
the option of the Corporation on or after February 1, 2007. All common
securities of the Series I Trust are owned by the Corporation. The
Corporation's obligations under the Junior Subordinated Debt and the relevant
indenture, trust agreement and guarantee, in aggregate, constitute a full and
unconditional guarantee by the Corporation of the Series I Trust's obligations
under the preferred capital securities issued by such Trust.
(D) MATURITY OF LONG-TERM DEBT
Of the Corporation's $8.454 billion total long-term debt, $1.941 billion,
$1.343 billion, $674 million, $361 million and $545 million is scheduled to
mature in 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000 and 2001, respectively.
NOTE 11--PREFERRED STOCK
The Corporation is authorized to issue 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock,
without par value. The Board of Directors is authorized to fix the particular
designations, preferences, rights, qualifications and restrictions for each
series of preferred stock issued. All preferred shares rank prior to common
shares both as to dividends and liquidation, but have no general voting
rights. The dividend rate on each of the cumulative adjustable rate series is
based on stated value and adjusted quarterly, based on a formula that
considers the interest rates for selected short- and long-term U.S. Treasury
securities prevailing at the time the rate is set. The minimum, maximum and
current dividend rates as of December 31, 1996, are presented in the following
table.

depositary share.
NOTE 12--EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
The Corporation has established common plans covering pension,
postretirement benefits, postemployment benefits, employee savings and stock
compensation, all of which were effective January 1, 1997. Such plans replaced
the former FCC and NBD benefit plans.
The benefit plans and related costs described below relate primarily to
former FCC and NBD benefit plans.
(A) PENSION PLANS
The Corporation sponsors pension plans covering substantially all salaried
employees. The pension plans are noncontributory, defined benefit plans that
provide benefits based on years of service and compensation level. The funding
policy varies for each plan. Depending on the plan, consideration is given to
net periodic pension cost for the year, the minimum funding required by the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA") and the maximum tax
deductible amount based on IRS limits.
Plan assets primarily include equity securities and debt securities issued
by the U.S. government and its agencies or by corporations. Plan assets
include common stock of the Corporation having a fair value of $20 million in
1996 and $15 million in 1995.
Net periodic pension cost includes the following components for the years
ended December 31.

(B) POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS OTHER THAN PENSIONS
The Corporation sponsors postretirement life insurance plans and provides
health care benefits for certain retirees and grandfathered employees when
they retire. The postretirement life insurance benefit is noncontributory.
Retirees and employees eligible for postretirement health care benefits
participate on a contributory basis.
Net periodic postretirement benefit cost included the following components
for the years ended December 31.

==== ====
The December 31, 1996, amounts include the effect of plan amendments
effective on January 1, 1997.
The assumption used to measure postretirement benefit costs is an 8% annual
rate of increase in the per capita cost of covered health care benefits for
1997, trending downward to 5.5% by the year 2000, and remaining at that level
thereafter. This assumption has a significant effect on the amounts reported.
Increasing the assumed health care cost trend rates by one percentage point in
each year would have increased the accumulated postretirement benefit
obligation as of December 31, 1996, by $4 million and the aggregate of the
service and interest cost components of net periodic postretirement benefit
cost for 1996 by approximately $0.4 million.
The weighted average discount rate used in determining the accumulated
postretirement benefit obligation was 7.75% at December 31, 1996, and 7.25% at
December 31, 1995.
The Corporation adopted SFAS No. 112, "Employers' Accounting for
Postemployment Benefits," effective January 1, 1994. The cumulative effect of
adoption was a charge of $12 million ($8 million net of income taxes). The
effect of postemployment benefit costs on income before income taxes was not
significant in 1996 or 1995.
(C) EMPLOYEE SAVINGS PLANS
The Corporation maintains various savings plans for U.S.-based employees
meeting certain eligibility requirements.
Under the FCC 401(k) plan, participants contributed from 1% to 6% of their
salary on a pretax basis, and an additional 1% to 10% of salary on an after-
tax basis. The Corporation's contribution to the plan was 100% of the first
$750 of pretax contributions made by participants and 50% of any pretax
contributions in excess of $750. The plan also allowed a supplemental profit-
based contribution.
The NBD 401(k) plan required employer contributions equal to participants'
contributions up to 2% of their salary, plus an amount equal to one-half of
participants' contributions between 2% and 6% of their salary subject to
certain limitations imposed by the IRS.
Total expense for these plans was $43 million in 1996, $37 million in 1995,
and $36 million in 1994.
(D) STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The Corporation utilizes various stock-based awards as part of its overall
compensation program through its Stock Performance Plan. In addition, the
Corporation provides employees the opportunity to purchase its shares through
its Employee Stock Purchase and Savings Plan. The compensation cost that has
been charged against income for the Corporation's Stock Performance and
Employee Stock Purchase and Savings Plans was $26.3 million for 1996, $21.1
million for 1995, and $20.5 million for 1994. See Note 1(m) on page 47 for the
Corporation's accounting policies relating to stock-based compensation.
59
STOCK PERFORMANCE PLAN
Under the Stock Performance Plan, the Corporation may grant to employees
various stock-based awards, including performance shares, restricted shares
and stock options. The Corporation is authorized to award up to 2% of its
shares annually, based on the number of outstanding shares at the prior year
end.
PERFORMANCE SHARES
The Corporation provides performance-based stock awards for its senior
managers. The level of performance shares eventually distributed depends on
the achievement of specific performance criteria that are set at the grant
date. The ultimate expense attributable to these awards is based on the market
value of the shares distributed at the end of the defined performance period.
The expense associated with such awards is recognized over the defined
performance period.
RESTRICTED SHARES
Restricted shares granted to key officers require them to continue
employment for up to four years from the grant date before restrictions on the
shares are removed. The market value of the restricted shares as of the date
of grant is amortized to compensation expense ratably over the period the
shares remain restricted.
STOCK OPTIONS
The Corporation also awards stock options to both senior managers and key
officers. The exercise price of such options is equivalent to the market value
of the Corporation's common stock at the award date. Options granted generally
vest one-third each year over a three-year period with a maximum term of ten
years. Stock options include the right to receive additional options not
exceeding the number of options exercised under the original grant if certain
criteria are met. The exercise price of an additional option is equal to the
fair market value of the common stock on the date the additional option is
granted. The vesting period for such additional options is six months. The
Corporation does not recognize any compensation expense with respect to stock
option awards.
The following tables summarize stock option activity for 1996 and provide
details of stock options outstanding at December 31, 1996.

EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE AND SAVINGS PLAN
The Corporation also offers an Employee Stock Purchase and Savings Plan that
allows eligible employees to authorize payroll deductions of up to 10% of
their annual base earnings for deposit in an interest-bearing savings account
for up to two years. Employees then have the option to either withdraw their
savings balance in cash or purchase shares of the Corporation's common stock
at a price fixed under the plan. The purchase price of the stock for a
particular employee is fixed at 95% of the stock's market price on the day
that employee becomes eligible to participate in the plan. Under the plan, the
Corporation issued 1,370,779 shares in 1996 at prices ranging from $24.53 to
$36.34. The Corporation does not recognize any compensation expense with
respect to this plan.
PRO FORMA COSTS OF STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
If the Corporation had determined compensation cost for awards under its
stock plans based on their fair value at their grant dates consistent with the
method contained in SFAS No. 123, the Corporation's net income would have been
$1,423.0 million and $1,143.6 million for the years ended December 31, 1996
and 1995, respectively. Primary and fully diluted earnings per share related
to these pro forma net income amounts are $4.35 and $4.28, respectively, for
1996, and $3.43 and $3.39, respectively, for 1995. These pro forma net income
amounts are not indicative of future pro forma amounts because they do not
include expenses related to stock-based compensation awards granted prior to
January 1, 1995, which would have been amortized to expense over the vesting
period of the award.
The following table summarizes stock-based compensation grants and their
related weighted average grant-date fair values for the year ended December
31, 1996:

(2) Estimated number of shares employees will purchase under the plan.
The grant date fair values of stock options granted under the Stock
Performance Plan and employees' purchase rights under the Employee Stock
Purchase and Savings Plan were estimated using the Black-Scholes option-
pricing model. This model was developed to estimate the fair value of traded
options, which have different characteristics than employee stock options, and
changes to the subjective input assumptions can result in materially different
fair market value estimates. Therefore, the Black-Scholes model may not
necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of employee
stock options and purchase rights.
The following assumptions were used to estimate the grant-date fair value of
employees' purchase rights under the Employee Stock Purchase and Savings Plan
for 1996: dividend yield of 3.70%; expected volatility of 18.82%; risk-free
interest rate of 6.10%; and an expected life of 2.2 years.
The following weighted average assumptions were used to estimate the grant-
date fair value of stock option awards under the Stock Performance Plan:
dividend yields of 3.46% and 4.24% in 1996 and 1995, respectively; expected
volatility of 18.74% and 17.28% in 1996 and 1995, respectively; risk-free
interest rates of 5.91% and 6.78% in 1996 and 1995, respectively; and expected
lives of 4.2 years and 3.9 years in 1996 and 1995, respectively.

NOTE 15--FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE-SHEET RISK
In the normal course of business, the Corporation is a party to financial
instruments containing credit and/or market risks that are not required to be
reflected in a balance sheet. These financial instruments include credit-
related instruments as well as certain derivative instruments.
The Corporation's risk management policies monitor and limit exposure to
credit, liquidity and market risks.
(A) CREDIT RISK
The following disclosures represent the Corporation's credit exposure,
assuming that every counterparty to financial instruments with off-balance-
sheet credit risk fails to perform completely according to the terms of the
contracts, and that the collateral, and other security if any, proves to be of
no value to the Corporation.
(B) MARKET RISK
This note does not address the amount of market losses the Corporation would
incur if future changes in market prices make financial instruments with off-
balance-sheet market risk less valuable or more onerous. The measurement of
market risk is meaningful only when all related and offsetting on- and off-
balance-sheet transactions are aggregated, and the resulting net positions are
identified.
(C) COLLATERAL AND OTHER SECURITY ARRANGEMENTS
The credit risk of both on- and off-balance-sheet financial instruments
varies based on many factors, including the value of collateral held and other
security arrangements. To mitigate credit risk, the Corporation generally
determines the need for specific covenant, guarantee and collateral
requirements on a case-by-case basis, depending on the nature of the financial
instrument and the customer's creditworthiness. The Corporation may also
receive comfort letters and oral assurances. The amount and type of collateral
held to reduce credit risk varies but may include real estate, machinery,
equipment, inventory and accounts receivable, as well as cash on deposit,
stocks, bonds and other marketable securities that are generally held in the
Corporation's possession or at another appropriate custodian or depository.
This collateral is valued and inspected on a regular basis to ensure both its
existence and adequacy. Additional collateral is requested when appropriate.
(D) CREDIT-RELATED FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The table below summarizes credit-related financial instruments, including
both commitments to extend credit and letters of credit.

*Includes unused commercial real estate exposure of $1.7 billion and $1.2
billion at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
Since many of the unused commitments are expected to expire unused or be
only partially used, the total amount of unused commitments in the preceding
table does not necessarily represent future cash requirements.
Loan commitments are agreements to make or acquire a loan or lease as long
as the agreed-upon terms (e.g., expiry, covenants or notice) are met. The
Corporation's commitments to purchase or extend loans help its customers meet
their liquidity needs. Credit card lines allow customers to use a credit card
to buy goods or services and to obtain cash advances. However, the Corporation
has the right to change or terminate any terms or conditions of the credit
card account. Extensions of credit under home-equity lines are secured by
residential real estate.
Commercial letters of credit are issued or confirmed to ensure payment of
customers' payables or receivables in short-term international trade
transactions. Generally, drafts will be drawn when the underlying transaction
is consummated as intended. However, the short-term nature of this instrument
serves to mitigate the risk associated with these contracts.
Standby letters of credit and foreign office guarantees are issued in
connection with agreements made by customers to counterparties. If the
customer fails to comply with the agreement, the counterparty may enforce the
standby letter of credit or foreign office guarantee as a remedy. Credit risk
arises from the possibility that the customer may not be able to repay the
Corporation for standby letters of credit or foreign office guarantees. At
December 31, 1996 and 1995, standby letters of credit and foreign office
guarantees had been issued for the following purposes.

(E) DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Corporation enters into a variety of derivative financial instruments in
its trading, asset and liability management, and corporate investment
activities. These instruments offer customers protection from rising or
64
falling interest rates, exchange rates, commodity prices and equity prices.
They can either reduce or increase the Corporation's exposure to such changing
rates or prices.
Following is a brief description of such derivative financial instruments.
. Interest rate forward and futures contracts represent commitments to
either purchase or sell a financial instrument at a specified future date
for a specified price, and may be settled in cash or through delivery.
. An interest rate swap is an agreement in which two parties agree to
exchange, at specified intervals, interest payment streams calculated on
an agreed-upon notional principal amount with at least one stream based
on a specified floating rate index.
. Interest rate options are contracts that grant the purchaser, for a
premium payment, the right to either purchase or sell a financial
instrument at a specified price within a specified period of time or on a
specified date from the writer of the option.
. Interest rate caps and floors are contracts with notional principal
amounts that require the seller, in exchange for a fee, to make payments
to the purchaser if a specified market interest rate exceeds the fixed
cap rate or falls below the fixed floor rate on specified future dates.
. Forward rate agreements are contracts with notional principal amounts
that settle in cash at a specified future date based on the differential
between a specified market interest rate and a fixed interest rate.
. Foreign exchange contracts represent swap, spot, forward, futures and
option contracts to exchange currencies.
. Commodity price contracts represent swap, futures, cap, floor and option
contracts that derive their value from underlying commodity prices.
. Equity price contracts represent swap, forward, futures, cap, floor and
option contracts that derive their value from underlying equity prices.
The Corporation's objectives and strategies for using derivative financial
instruments for structural interest rate risk management and foreign exchange
risk management are discussed on pages 27 to 30.
Balance sheet exposure for derivative financial instruments includes the
amount of recognized gains in the market valuation of those contracts. Those
amounts fluctuate as a function of maturity, interest rates, foreign exchange
rates, commodity prices and equity prices.
The credit risk associated with exchange-traded derivative financial
instruments is limited to the relevant clearinghouse. Options written do not
expose the Corporation to credit risk, except to the extent of the underlying
risk in a financial instrument that the Corporation may be obligated to
acquire under certain written put options. Caps and floors written do not
expose the Corporation to credit risk.
On some derivative financial instruments, the Corporation may have
additional risk. This is due to the underlying risk in the financial
instruments that the Corporation may be obligated to acquire, or the risk that
the Corporation will deliver under a contract but the customer will fail to
deliver the countervailing amount. The Corporation believes its credit and
settlement procedures minimize these risks.
Not all derivative financial instruments have off-balance-sheet market risk.
Market risk associated with options purchased and caps and floors purchased is
recorded in the balance sheet.
The tables on page 35 report the Corporation's gross notional principal or
contractual amounts of derivative financial instruments as of December 31,
1996, and December 31, 1995. These instruments include swaps, forwards,
futures, options, caps, floors, forward rate agreements, and other conditional
and exchange contracts. The amounts do not represent the market or credit risk
associated with these contracts, as previously defined, but rather give an
indication of the volume of the transactions.
65
NOTE 16--CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK
The Corporation provides a wide range of financial services, including
credit products, to consumers, middle market businesses and large corporate
customers. Credit policies and processes emphasize diversification of risk
among industries, geographic areas and borrowers. The only significant
domestic credit concentrations for the Corporation were consumer, commercial
real estate and the U.S. government.
Information on the Corporation's consumer and commercial real estate loans
is presented in Note 7, on page 52, and information on unused consumer and
commercial real estate commitments is presented in Note 15, beginning on page
63.
U.S. government risk arises primarily from the holding of government
securities and short-term credits collateralized by such securities.
Information on foreign outstandings is presented in the "Foreign
Outstandings" table on page 77. In addition to these foreign outstandings, the
Corporation's credit risk from derivative financial instruments and other off-
balance-sheet commitments to banks in Japan was approximately $2.0 billion and
$2.9 billion at December 31, 1996, and December 31, 1995, respectively.
NOTE 17--ESTIMATED FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Corporation is required to disclose the estimated fair value of its
financial instruments in accordance with SFAS No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair
Value of Financial Instruments." These disclosures do not attempt to estimate
or represent an estimate of the Corporation's fair value as a whole. The
Corporation does not plan to dispose of, either through sale or settlement,
the majority of its financial instruments at these estimated fair values.
Certain limitations are inherent in the methodologies used to estimate fair
value. As a result, disclosed fair values may not be the amount realized in a
current transaction between willing parties. Specifically, the fair values
disclosed represent point-in-time estimates that may change in subsequent
reporting periods due to market conditions or other factors. Further, quoted
market prices may not be realized because the financial instrument may be
traded in a market that lacks liquidity; or a fair value derived using a
discounted cash flow approach may not be the amount realized because of the
subjectivity involved in selecting underlying assumptions, such as projecting
cash flows or selecting a discount rate. The fair value amount also may not be
realized because it ignores transaction costs and does not include potential
tax effects. Additionally, estimated fair values of certain financial
instruments ignore intangible value associated with the financial instruments;
for example, significant unrecognized value exists that is attributable to the
Corporation's credit card relationships and core deposits.

(1) The estimated average fair values of derivative financial instruments used
in trading activities during 1996 were $5.4 billion classified as assets
and $5.4 billion classified as liabilities.
Estimated fair values are determined as follows:
(A) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WHERE CARRYING VALUE APPROXIMATES FAIR VALUE
A financial instrument's carrying value approximates its fair value when the
financial instrument has an immediate or short-term maturity (generally one
year or less), or is carried at fair value. Additionally, the carrying value
of financial instruments that reprice frequently, such as floating rate debt,
represents fair value.
The estimated fair values of debt investment securities, trading securities
and securities sold but not yet purchased were generally based on quoted
market prices or dealer quotes. See Note 1, beginning on page 45, and Note 6,
beginning on page 50, for information on methods for estimating the fair value
of equity investment securities. The estimated fair value of commercial real
estate loans held for accelerated disposition was based on their estimated
liquidation value. The estimated fair value of derivative product assets and
liabilities was based on quoted market prices or pricing and valuation models
on a present-value basis using current market information.
The majority of commitments to extend credit and letters of credit would
result in loans with a market rate of interest if funded. The fair value of
these commitments are the fees that would be charged customers to enter into
similar agreements with comparable pricing and maturity. The recorded book
value of deferred fee income approximates the fair value.
67
(B) LOANS
The discounted cash flow method was used to estimate the fair value of
certain commercial and consumer installment loans. Discount rates used
represent current lending rates for new loans with similar characteristics.
The fair value of floating rate loans is equal to their carrying value.
The estimated fair value of consumer mortgage loans was based on committed
sales prices and a valuation model using current market information.
(C) DEPOSITS
The fair value of demand and savings deposits with no defined maturity is
the amount payable on demand at the report date. The fair value of fixed-rate
time deposits is estimated by discounting the future cash flows to be paid,
using the current rates at which similar deposits with similar remaining
maturities would be issued.
(D) LONG-TERM DEBT
Quoted market prices or the discounted cash flow method was used to estimate
the fair value of the Corporation's fixed-rate long-term debt. Discounting was
based on the contractual cash flows and the current rates at which debt with
similar terms could be issued.
(E) DERIVATIVE PRODUCT ASSETS AND LIABILITIES--OTHER THAN TRADING PURPOSES
The estimated fair values of derivative product assets and liabilities used
for risk management purposes were based on quoted market prices or pricing and
valuation models on a present-value basis using current market information.
NOTE 18--CONTINGENCIES
The Corporation and certain of its subsidiaries are defendants in various
lawsuits, including certain class actions, arising out of the normal course of
business, and the Corporation has received certain tax deficiency assessments.
Since the Corporation and certain of its subsidiaries, which are regulated by
one or more federal and state regulatory authorities, are the subject of
numerous examinations and reviews by such authorities, the Corporation is and
will, from time to time, normally be engaged in various disagreements with
regulators, related primarily to banking matters. In the opinion of management
and the Corporation's general counsel, the ultimate resolution of these
matters will not have a material effect on the consolidated financial
statements.

Dividends that may be paid by national bank subsidiaries are subject to two
statutory limitations. Under the first, dividends cannot exceed the level of
undivided profits. In addition, a bank cannot declare a dividend, without
regulatory approval, in an amount in excess of its net income for the current
year combined with the retained net profits for the preceding two years. State
bank subsidiaries may also be subject to limitations on dividend payments.
Based on these statutory requirements, the Principal Banks could, in the
aggregate, have declared additional dividends of up to approximately $0.9
billion without regulatory approval at January 1, 1997. The payment of
dividends by any bank may also be affected by other factors, such as the
maintenance of adequate capital. As of December 31, 1996, all of the Principal
Banks significantly exceeded the regulatory guidelines for "well-capitalized"
status.
The Principal Banks are subject to various regulatory capital requirements
that require them to maintain minimum ratios of total and Tier 1 capital to
risk-weighted assets and of Tier 1 capital to average assets. Refer to the
"Capital Management" section, beginning on page 37, for the Principal Banks'
capital ratios as well as the minimum capital ratios required by regulation.
Failure to meet minimum capital requirements results in certain actions by
bank regulators that could have a direct material effect on the Principal
Banks' financial statements. As of December 31, 1996, management believes that
each of the Principal Banks meets all capital adequacy requirements to which
it is subject and is correctly categorized as well-capitalized under the
regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. There are no conditions or
events since that categorization that management believes have changed the
institution's category.
Federal banking law also restricts each bank subsidiary from extending
credit to the Corporation in excess of 10% of the subsidiary's capital stock
and surplus, as defined. Any such extensions of credit are subject to strict
collateral requirements.
In connection with issuances of commercial paper, the Corporation has
agreements providing future credit availability (back-up lines of credit) with
various nonaffiliated banks. The agreements aggregated $300 million at
December 31, 1996. The commitment fees paid under each agreement range between
.07% and .09%. The back-up lines of credit, together with overnight money
market loans, short-term investments and other sources of liquid assets,
exceeded the amount of commercial paper issued at December 31, 1996.

REPORT OF MANAGEMENT ON RESPONSIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL REPORTING
FIRST CHICAGO NBD CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
To the Stockholders of First Chicago NBD Corporation:
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Management of First Chicago NBD Corporation and its subsidiaries is
responsible for the preparation, integrity and objectivity of the financial
statements and footnotes contained in this Form 10-K. The financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
and are free from material fraud or error. The other financial information in
this Form 10-K is consistent with the financial statements. Where financial
information must of necessity be based upon estimates and judgments, they
represent the best estimates and judgments of Management.
The Corporation's financial statements have been audited by Arthur Andersen
LLP, independent public accountants, whose appointment is ratified by the
stockholders. The independent public accountants' responsibility is to express
an opinion on the Corporation's financial statements. As described further in
the report that follows, their opinion is based on their audit, which was
conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and is
believed by them to provide a reasonable basis for their opinion. Management
has made available to Arthur Andersen LLP all of the Corporation's financial
records and related data. Furthermore, Management believes that all
representations made to Arthur Andersen LLP during their audit were valid and
appropriate.
INTERNAL CONTROL STRUCTURE OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
Management is also responsible for establishing and maintaining the
Corporation's internal control structure that provides reasonable, but not
absolute, assurance as to the integrity and reliability of the financial
statements. Management continually monitors the internal control structure for
compliance with established policies and procedures. The Corporation maintains
a strong internal auditing program that independently assesses the
effectiveness of the internal control structure. The Audit Committee of the
Board of Directors, composed entirely of outside Directors, oversees the
Corporation's financial reporting process on behalf of the Board of Directors
and has responsibility for recommending the independent public accountants for
the Corporation who are appointed by the Board of Directors. The Audit
Committee reviews with the independent public accountants the scope of their
audit and audit reports and meets with them on a scheduled basis to review
their findings and any action to be taken thereon. In addition, the Audit
Committee meets with the internal auditors and with Management to review the
scope and findings of the internal audit program and any actions to be taken
by Management. The independent public accountants and the internal auditors
meet periodically with the Audit Committee without Management being present.
Management also recognizes its responsibility for fostering a strong ethical
climate so that the Corporation's affairs are conducted according to the
highest standards of personal and corporate conduct. This responsibility is
characterized by and reflected in the Corporation's integrity policies, which
address, among other things, the necessity of ensuring open communication
within the Corporation; potential conflicts of interest; compliance with all
domestic and foreign laws, including those related to financial disclosure;
and the confidentiality of proprietary information. The Corporation maintains
a systematic program to assess compliance with these policies.
There are inherent limitations in the effectiveness of any internal control
structure, including the possibility of human error or the circumvention or
overriding of controls. Accordingly, even an effective internal control
structure can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to reliability of
financial statements and safeguarding of assets. Furthermore, because of
changes in conditions, internal control structure effectiveness may vary over
time.
73
The Corporation assessed its internal control structure over financial
reporting as of December 31, 1996, in relation to the criteria described in
the "Internal Control--Integrated Framework" issued by the Committee of
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this assessment,
the Corporation believes that as of December 31, 1996, in all material
respects, the Corporation maintained an effective internal control structure
over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To the Stockholders and Board of Directors
of First Chicago NBD Corporation:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of First Chicago
NBD Corporation (a Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries as of December 31,
1996 and 1995, and the related consolidated statements of income,
stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 1996. These financial statements are the responsibility of
First Chicago NBD Corporation's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion of 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of First
Chicago NBD Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and
the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended December 31, 1996, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

SECURITIZATION OF CREDIT CARD RECEIVABLES
Since 1987, the Corporation has actively packaged and sold credit card
assets as securities to investors. The securitization of credit card
receivables is an effective balance sheet management tool since capital is
freed for other uses. In addition, while such securitizations affect net
interest income, the provision for credit losses and noninterest income, net
income is essentially unaffected.
Credit Card continues to service credit card accounts even after receivables
are securitized. Net interest income and certain fee revenue on the
securitized portfolio are not recognized; however, these are offset by
servicing fees as well as by lower provisions for credit losses.
At year-end 1996, $8.9 billion in credit card receivables was securitized,
compared with $7.9 billion at year-end 1995.
For analytical purposes only, the following table shows income statement
line items adjusted for the net impact of securitization of credit card
receivables.
