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, N.A. (Indiana)
("NBD Indiana"), NBD Bank (Illinois) ("NBD Illinois"), NBD Bank (Florida)
("NBD Florida"), and several other bank subsidiaries. In addition, the
Corporation directly or indirectly owns the stock of 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
for additional acquisitions of 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 1995, the
Corporation consummated its previously announced acquisitions of Deerbank
Corporation and AmeriFed Financial Corp., and the related thrift subsidiary
mergers into NBD Illinois. On January 25, 1996, the Corporation executed a
definitive agreement to acquire Barrington Bancorp, Inc. ("Barrington"), a
one-thrift holding company with assets of approximately $68 million; the
transaction, which is subject to the approval of Barrington's stockholders and
various regulatory authorities, is expected to close in mid-1996, at which
time the thrift subsidiary will merge into FNBC. On February 23, 1996, the
Corporation sold substantially all of the assets and deposits of NBD Bank
(Ohio). During 1996, the Corporation intends to merge NBD Illinois with and
into FNBC and consolidate NBD Illinois' retail and middle market banking
operations with those of FNBC and ANB.
The Corporation engages primarily in four lines of business--Credit Card;
Regional Banking, which includes retail banking and middle market banking;
Corporate and Institutional Banking; and Corporate Investments. Each of these
businesses is conducted through the Corporation's bank and nonbank
subsidiaries, as described below.
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.
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. At December 31, 1995, Credit Card managed
approximately $17.5 billion in card-related receivables.
2
Regional Banking
Retail Banking
Retail banking is conducted primarily through FNBC, NBD Michigan, NBD
Indiana, NBD Illinois and NBD Florida by providing traditional retail banking
products and services to consumers. Products and services offered include
demand, savings and time deposit 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.
Retail banking offers an array of additional financial services, including
property and casualty insurance, and credit life and other life insurance
products. The Corporation also manages two proprietary mutual fund families,
the Woodward and Prairie Funds, that comprise a variety of mutual funds
covering a wide range of investment objectives. These fund families will be
combined during 1996. As of December 31, 1995, the combined funds ranked among
the largest bank-managed fund families in the country, with approximately $11
billion in assets.
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 in the aggregate
approximately 3,000,000 households through over 700 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 and marketed nationally through "direct banking,"
which offers 24-hour telephone support, nationwide debit card access to 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. The Corporation, pursuant to a contract with MasterCard, 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, NBD
Indiana and NBD Illinois, serving companies and other middle market customers
located predominantly in the Midwest. Commercial banking products and services
offered include commercial loans, demand, savings and time deposit accounts,
and cash management services.
In addition, middle market banking offers a wide array of ancillary products
and services targeted principally to the commercial middle market customer
base. Corporate finance products and services offered include merger and
acquisition advisory services, financial advisory services, interest rate
protection products and, through ANB Mezzanine Corporation, mezzanine debt
capabilities. Lease financing is available to companies seeking an alternative
to loan products. International trade banking services and foreign exchange
capabilities are offered to customers involved in both import and export
activities. Treasury and investment products and services offered include
short-term investment management and employee benefit plans. Personal banking,
trust, insurance, investment, loan, deposit, estate planning, fiduciary
management and portfolio management services are offered to business owners,
executives and other individuals. Corporate trust services,
3
including land trust services and indenture trustee services, are offered to
companies, municipalities and institutions that issue public or privately
placed debt. Specialized banking services are also offered and include asset-
based financing and commercial real estate financing.
Corporate and Institutional Banking
Corporate and Institutional Banking encompasses the broad range of
commercial and investment banking products and services that FNBC, NBD
Michigan and NBD Indiana, along with the subsidiaries referenced below,
provide to domestic and foreign customers. Corporate and Institutional
Banking's principal focus is the delivery of corporate financial services,
including the extension of credit, to commercial, financial and governmental
customers.
Corporate and 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 both large corporations
and upper-end middle market companies.
In the global financial marketplace, Corporate and Institutional Banking is
responsible for the Corporation's investment and trading activities in: U.S.
government, municipal, corporate fixed-income, and federal agency securities;
and the foreign exchange and futures markets. Corporate and Institutional
Banking also provides a wide range of risk management products such as foreign
exchange options, interest rate options, and interest rate and currency swaps.
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.
Corporate and Institutional Banking also offers capital raising products
such as loans, private placements of debt securities, merger and acquisition
advisory services, highly leveraged transaction financing, asset sales and
distributions, and loan syndications.
In addition, Corporate and Institutional Banking 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 and Institutional
Banking offers a wide range of administrative and trust and investment
advisory services to corporations, municipalities and charitable
organizations, including defined contribution plans and defined benefit plans.
Each of FNBC, NBD Michigan, NBD Indiana, and certain of the Corporation's
other bank subsidiaries act as trustee of corporate, pension, profit-sharing
and other employee-benefit trusts, provide custody services, and act as
registrar, fiscal and paying agent for business entities.
Corporate and Institutional Banking includes the operations of three
subsidiaries of the Corporation: First Chicago National Processing
Corporation, which provides noncredit clearing services, including lock box
processing, on a nationwide basis; First Chicago International, which provides
clearing and documentary services; and First Chicago Trust Company of New
York, a New York state-chartered trust company ranking among the largest stock
transfer agents in the United States, which provides custody, special agency,
stock transfer, and securities issuing, paying and clearance services. In
addition, the First Chicago Clearing Center in London is that city's principal
depository for certificates of deposit and other short-term securities.
4
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 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 through
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.
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, the 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.
5
EMPLOYEES
As of December 31, 1995, the Corporation and its subsidiaries had 35,328
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. Recently, economic growth has been moderate, and
wage and price inflation stable. Given such circumstances, the Federal Reserve
Board has begun a gradual easing of credit conditions, nudging down interest
rates.
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
management of 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 is subject 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 subsidiary
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 is also 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 affiliates. The Banks are subject to certain
restrictions imposed by the laws of the United States on any extensions of
credit to the Corporation or, with certain exceptions, other affiliates; on
investments in stock or other securities thereof; 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 are
also subject to certain restrictions with respect to engaging in the issuance,
flotation, underwriting, public sale or distribution of securities.
6
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 are also members of the Federal Reserve System and
their deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the
"FDIC"), they are also 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, NBD Illinois
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 such countries.
Federal law prohibits the Corporation and certain of its affiliates 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 secured loans and
investments by any of the Banks are limited in amount as to the Corporation or
any other such affiliate 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 such 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 then on hand" less the amount of bad debts, as defined, in excess of
the allowance for credit losses and (ii) absent regulatory approval, an amount
not in excess of "net profits" for the current year combined with "retained
net profits" for the preceding two years. As of January 1, 1996, the Banks
could have declared additional dividends of approximately $1.2 billion without
the approval of banking regulatory agencies. The payment of dividends by any
Bank may also be affected by other factors, such as the maintenance of
adequate capital for such Bank. Banking regulatory agencies have the authority
to prohibit the banking organizations they supervise from paying dividends if,
in the banking regulator's opinion, the payment of dividends would, in light
of the financial condition of such bank, constitute an unsafe or unsound
practice.
As a bank holding company, the Corporation, along with its subsidiaries, is
prohibited from engaging in certain tie-in arrangements in connection with
extensions of credit or providing property or services.
Legislation may be enacted or regulation 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 whether any such legislation or regulation will place
additional limitations on the Corporation's operations.
A number of lawsuits and administrative actions have been filed in several
states against credit card issuing banks challenging various fees and charges
assessed against residents of the states in which such suits were filed. Two
state supreme courts and two federal appeals courts have affirmed dismissal of
these cases on the ground that individual state prohibitions on assessing
these fees or charges are preempted by federal laws. In 1995, the New Jersey
Supreme Court ruled that state prohibitions on late fees are not preempted by
federal laws, and the issue is now before the U.S. Supreme Court. If the
Supreme Court resolves this case adversely to credit card issuing banks, the
decision could have the effect of limiting certain fees and charges that could
be assessed on credit card accounts and could subject card issuing banks to
the payment of refunds or civil penalties. It is not practicable to determine
the amount of such refunds or penalties FCCNB, the Corporation's primary
issuer of bank credit cards, might have to pay in such event, but any such
payment could have an adverse impact on the Corporation's Credit Card
business.
7
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, 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, 1995, the Corporation's consolidated Tier I capital and total
capital ratios were 7.8% and 11.8%, 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, 1995, was 6.9%. 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 its applicable federal banking agency. Each of the
Corporation's Banks was in compliance with the applicable minimum capital
requirements as of December 31, 1995. Neither the Corporation nor any of the
Banks has been advised by any federal banking 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."
Banking regulators continue to indicate their desire to raise capital
requirements applicable to banking organizations beyond their current levels.
However, the management of the Corporation is unable to predict whether higher
capital requirements will be imposed and, if so, at what levels and on what
schedule.
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.
A major feature of FDICIA is the comprehensive directions it gives to
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
8
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. The Riegle Community Development and Regulatory Improvement Act of
1994, however, among other things, contains a number of specific provisions
easing the regulatory burden on banks and bank holding companies, including
some imposed by FDICIA, and making the bank regulatory system more efficient.
Federal banking regulators are taking actions to implement these provisions.
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.
FDIC Insurance
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.
9
The assessment rate schedule, effective January 1, 1996, 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 the statutory
annual minimum of $2,000 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. Effective September 29, 1995, 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 non-discriminatory 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 branch (as
distinguished from an entire bank) or the de novo establishment of a national
bank branch in another state may be approved only if the law of the host state
expressly permits such action. An interstate merger may not be approved if,
following the merger, 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 by the states on a non-discriminatory basis. The laws of the host
state regarding community reinvestment, consumer protection, fair lending and
the establishment of intrastate branches will apply to any out-of-state branch
of a national bank unless 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, significant 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 Segments
OVERVIEW
Financial results are reported by major business lines,
principally structured around the customer segments served. These
major business segments are: Credit Card, Regional Banking (retail
and middle market), Corporate and Institutional Banking, and
Corporate Investments. Investment management activities, while
managed separately, serve customers in both the Regional and
Corporate and Institutional Banking segments and, therefore,
investment management's financial results are captured within those
businesses.

Among the four largest bankcard issuers in the United States, Credit Card is
a prominent business for the Corporation. For the year, Credit Card posted a
superior return on equity of 36%, with net income of $302 million, or 23% of
total operating earnings. Earnings in 1994 were $336 million. During 1995, a
record 3.4 million new credit card accounts were added, and managed credit
card receivables grew 34% to $17.5 billion at year-end 1995.
Net interest income rose $188 million, or nearly 20%, in 1995 as higher
credit card volume more than offset the effect of reduced spreads from
competitive pricing pressures. Expenses also increased significantly,
reflecting the costs of soliciting new accounts. Credit Card's operating
efficiency remained excellent in 1995, at 31%.
The Credit Card business experienced some deterioration in credit quality in
1995, as reflected in the substantial increase in provision. The net charge-
off rate for managed credit card receivables rose to 4.0% for the year from
3.5% in 1994. The Corporation, however, maintains a high level of reserves
related to this business. At December 31, 1995, the allowance for credit
losses related to Credit Card was $303 million. In addition, the reserve for
securitized credit card receivables totaled $302 million.
Although the rate of growth in receivables may decline in 1996 from 1995's
very high level, Credit Card should continue to provide attractive returns.

Regional Banking is conducted through the branch and electronic networks of
NBD Banks in Michigan, Indiana, Illinois and Florida, and FNBC. Additionally,
ANB provides banking services specifically tailored to middle market
businesses in Chicagoland.
Close to 40% of the Corporation's operating earnings in 1995 were generated
from these retail and middle market businesses, where the Corporation is the
leading banking company in the three-state region of Michigan, Indiana and
Illinois. Combined loans in Regional Banking averaged $31.2 billion in 1995,
representing 53% of the Corporation's total loans and up 18% from 1994.
Retail banking produced net income of $234 million, for a return on equity
of 17%. Earnings for retail banking were $183 million in 1994. The significant
improvement in profitability was driven by all key areas. A 20% increase in
loan volume contributed to higher spread income, while the results of a
deposit fee restructuring program boosted noninterest income. Careful
noninterest expense management (less than 2% growth) helped improve the
efficiency ratio for retail banking from 80% in 1994 to 74% in 1995.
Middle market earnings in 1995 were $280 million, up from $221 million in
1994. Return on equity was 16%. The growth in net interest income was due to
favorable interest rate spreads and higher average loan volumes (up 16%).
Provision expense remained fairly stable in 1995 and operating efficiency
continued to be excellent.
The growth dynamics for Regional Banking present opportunities for further
profit improvement. The potential for cost savings is especially high as the
full integration of NBD Illinois into FNBC and ANB takes place in 1996.

Through its Corporate and Institutional Banking business, the Corporation is
the leading provider of banking services to large corporations, governments,
institutions and investors in Chicago and the Midwest. It is also among the
top U.S. banking companies serving national and international customers.
Corporate and Institutional Banking earned $278 million in 1995, up from
$217 million in 1994. This segment received the largest allocation of equity
among all business lines and generated a return of 9% in 1995. Revenues from
the major product sets within this large business line are presented in the
following table.

====== ======
Revenue from trading activities (trading profits and related net interest
income) was $210 million in 1995, up from $91 million in 1994. This
substantial improvement was primarily in emerging markets and derivatives
trading. The emerging markets segment had modest gains in 1995 compared with a
loss of $49 million in 1994. In the third quarter of 1995, the Corporation
announced its exit from trading in emerging markets securities.
Servicing revenue was higher year to year, largely due to cash management
operations. Lending revenue was also up as average loans grew over 15% in 1995
to $19.3 billion.
The 1995 growth in expenses was due in part to higher incentive compensation
resulting from the improved trading performance as well as initiatives to
expand cash management and risk management capabilities. In 1996, cost savings
are expected from the integration of Corporate and Institutional Banking's
international network. Furthermore, the Merger offers cross-selling
opportunities in this business, which should result in revenue growth.
Rigorous management of capital and expenses will continue in order to improve
profitability further.

Many of the Corporation's business activities that are not specifically
oriented to its customers are combined in Corporate Investments. Included in
this segment are the venture capital portfolio, leveraged leasing, funding and
arbitrage, the investment account and assorted other investment and trading
activities.
In 1995, Corporate Investments was a significant contributor to earnings,
generating $232 million, or 17%, of consolidated operating net income. Strong
equity securities gains--$253 million--were the driver of this performance.
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 experience in this high-return area, continued
significant earnings contributions are expected.

Merger-related charges totaled $267 million in 1995, of which $225 million
was related to direct merger and restructuring costs. The implementation of
these restructuring efforts will contribute to estimated annualized cost
savings of $200 million by 1997. The remaining one-time charges of $42 million
were for the conformance of accounting practices between the merged companies.
(See Note 4 beginning on page 48 for more details.)
Investment securities losses of $19 million are included in Other
Activities. These losses were produced from the sale of approximately $1.5
billion in investment securities, where the returns were not commensurate with
the securities' risks and volatilities. These sales were part of the merger-
related program to reduce assets by $25 billion by 1997.
Net gains from the disposition of assets held in the accelerated disposition
portfolio totaled $37 million in 1995, compared with $46 million in 1994. Also
included in 1994 results is 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 other expenses of $19 million
related to general corporate activities.

The Corporation's 1995 results continued to reflect excellent performance in
its core businesses. Highlights of the year were:
. The Credit Card business posted earnings of $302 million. Average managed
credit card receivables increased 24% and managed receivables reached
$17.5 billion at year-end 1995.
. Combined trading profits were $210 million, reflecting significant
improvement from $86 million generated in 1994.
. Loan growth of 18% in the Regional Banking businesses contributed to the
increase in net interest income.
. Equity securities gains rose substantially to $253 million.
. Noninterest expense growth in 1995, excluding merger-related charges of
$267 million and adjusted for the Mileage Plus reclassification, was
limited to 4%.
. Commercial credit quality remained strong. Commercial nonperforming
assets totaled $397 million at year-end 1995, contributing to an overall
nonperforming asset ratio of 0.6% and resulting in a commercial coverage
ratio of 272%.
. A strong capital position was maintained during 1995 with key ratios in
excess of regulatory guidelines.
On an operating earnings basis, return on common equity was 16.8% for 1995,
compared with 16.6% for 1994 and 19.9% for 1993.

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 interest rate derivatives
used to manage interest rate risk.
Net interest margin measures the efficiency of the use of the Corporation's
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 $7.2
billion in 1995, $5.5 billion in 1994 and $4.8 billion in 1993.
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 11% to $4.0 billion in 1995. In 1994,
adjusted net interest income was $3.6 billion, up 7% over 1993 levels. In both
periods, the increases were driven primarily by growth in average earning
assets. The following charts show the composition of both adjusted average
earning assets and adjusted average loans over the last two years.

Adjusted net interest margin in 1995 was 3.89%, down slightly from 4.02% in
1994. The decline was primarily attributable to a less profitable earning
asset mix, reflecting the growth in thinly priced assets, principally trading
assets and loans to large corporate customers.

Noninterest income increased by $198 million in 1995, following a decrease
of $376 million, or 14%, in 1994. Much of the change in both years reflected
the volatility in market-driven revenue, principally the level of trading
profits and equity securities gains.
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.

Revenue from trading activities (trading profits and related net interest
income) totaled $292 million in 1995, versus $160 million in 1994. The marked
improvement from 1994 was concentrated in the foreign exchange and derivatives
segment, where increased customer demand and market volatility provided
additional profit opportunities. The Corporation decided to exit the emerging
markets trading business in the third quarter of 1995 and liquidated
substantially all of its positions by year-end 1995.
Equity securities gains, principally from Corporate Investment activities,
were $253 million during 1995, compared with $229 million in 1994 and a record
$488 million in 1993.
Investment securities losses totaled $16 million in 1995, compared with
losses of $1 million in 1994 and gains of $2 million in 1993. During the
fourth quarter of 1995, the Corporation sold $1.5 billion of investment
securities, which produced losses of $19 million. These sales were consistent
with the Corporation's asset
20
reduction goal of $25 billion. From June 30, 1995, to December 31, 1995,
investment securities were reduced by $4.2 billion.
In 1995, the Corporation renewed its agreement with United Airlines,
extending the successful Mileage Plus credit card program into the next
century. As a result, beginning in 1995 payments to United Airlines reduce
credit card fee revenue rather than increase operating expense. Adjusted for
the effects of credit card securitizations and the change in the
classification of Mileage Plus payments, credit card fee revenue grew 15% in
1995. Increased transaction volume due in part to a growing cardholder base
was the primary reason for the revenue growth.
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. Total fees generated from
these activities increased modestly in 1995 and in 1994. More transaction
activity contributed to the 1995 increase. Revenues from the shareholder
services business remained steady at $82 million in 1995 and $81 million in
both 1994 and 1993. Revenue growth in this business was negatively affected by
industry consolidation and price competition.
Net gains from the active management of assets held in the accelerated
disposition portfolio totaled $37 million in 1995, compared with $46 million
in 1994 and $60 million in 1993.
Other noninterest income in 1994 included a $35 million gain related to the
sale of the Corporation's remaining interest in Brinson Holdings, Inc. to
Brinson's management.

Operating expense in 1995 was $3.268 billion, compared with $3.220 billion
in 1994 and $3.161 billion in 1993. Overall operating expense growth, adjusted
for the reclassification of Mileage Plus payments, was limited to 4% despite
higher employee costs, increased equipment costs, and investments in selected
businesses.

staff increases in certain business units as well as higher performance-based
incentive accruals tied to corporate results. The 1994 cost increase primarily
reflects the higher cost of pension and medical benefit programs.

Occupancy expense increased by 3% in 1995 to $252 million. Occupancy expense
in 1993 included the incremental costs associated with both the relocation of
the shareholder services business and a reduction in other occupancy
requirements.
Equipment expense decreased 8% in 1995 to $225 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.
Operating expense associated with the Credit Card business (adjusted to
reflect the terms of the current Mileage Plus affinity agreement) increased
$82 million, or 18%, in 1995, reflecting both higher market solicitation costs
that supported portfolio growth and increased volume-driven expenses related
to servicing the larger customer base.
The reduction in the insurance rate for bank deposits from 23 basis points
to 4 basis points resulted in a significant decline in FDIC insurance expense
in 1995. Beginning January 1, 1996, the FDIC insurance rate was effectively
reduced to zero for Bank Insurance Fund deposits (approximately 94% of the
Corporation's insurable deposit base). A good portion of this expense savings,
however, is passed on to business customers in the form of fee reductions.
Intangible amortization expense decreased $5 million in 1995 as certain core
deposit intangibles became fully amortized. The 1993 results included a $12
million charge for the accelerated amortization of certain acquired
intangibles.
Special corporate expenses totaled $19 million in 1994 and $14 million in
1993. Excluding these items, other operating expense increased 1% in 1994.
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 for 1995 included benefits from general business tax credits
offset by the effect of nondeductible expenses, including goodwill.
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.
The effective tax rate for 1993 reflects the write-off of an intangible
asset that was not deductible for tax purposes.
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.
The Corporation is compensated by customers for assuming these risks; this
compensation 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 36.
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 all these
financial instruments.
Credit-related and derivative financial instruments are generally
characterized as off-balance-sheet transactions; however, the carrying values
of derivative financial instruments are reflected on the balance sheet.
23
Liquidity Risk Management
Liquidity risk is the possibility of being unable to meet all present and
future financial obligations in a timely manner. 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 based on its
assessment of on- and off-balance-sheet items. In addition, a contingency
funding plan identifies actions to be taken in response to a liquidity event.
Liquidity management policies include the following:
. maintain strong credit ratings and capital ratios;
. maintain liability diversification among markets, instruments, maturities
and customers;
. maintain a continuously strong market presence and customer funding base;
. maintain adequate liquid assets; and
. monitor the level of liquidity mismatch in the timing of cash flows.
The Statement of Cash Flows, on page 43, presents data on cash and cash
equivalents provided by and used in operating, investing and financing
activities.
The Corporation's ability to attract wholesale funds on a regular basis and
at a competitive cost is fostered by strong ratings from the major credit
rating agencies. The Corporation's principal Banks (referred to collectively
as the "Principal Banks"), comprising ANB, FNBC, FCCNB, NBD Indiana, NBD
Illinois and NBD Michigan, all have identical ratings. As of December 31,
1995, the parent company and the Principal Banks had the following long- and
short-term debt ratings. The short-term debt ratings for the parent cover
commercial paper issuances. The long- and short-term debt ratings for the
Principal Banks cover bank note issuances.

The Corporation maintains liquid assets in the form of federal funds sold,
deposit placements and selected investment securities to meet any immediate
cash flow obligations. Note 7, beginning on page 51, provides a detailed
breakdown of the investment portfolio. In addition, as part of the normal
liquidity management process, assets are securitized and sold. Securitization
of credit card receivables is an important funding vehicle that both
diversifies funding sources and accesses large amounts of term funding in a
cost-effective manner.
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. Through its various banking entities, the Corporation maintains
direct access to the local retail deposit market and uses a network of brokers
for gathering retail deposits on a national basis.
A large customer deposit base is one of the significant strengths of the
Corporation's liquidity position. As part of the monthly liquidity measurement
process, the extent to which core assets are funded by core liabilities is
monitored. Core assets and liabilities consist primarily of customer-driven
lending and deposit-taking activities. Core liabilities also include long-term
debt and equity. The Corporation has established a 35% limit for the use of
wholesale funds for funding core assets. As of December 31, 1995,
collectively, the Banks funded 80% of core assets with core liabilities,
accessing the wholesale market for only 20% of core asset funding. By limiting
dependence on the wholesale market, the risk of a disruption to the
Corporation's lending business from a liquidity event is minimized.
24
In addition to this strong core funding base, a reliable, diversified mix of
funding from the wholesale market is created by active participation in global
capital markets. Internal guidelines are used to monitor the product mix and
customer concentration of the wholesale funding. The following table shows the
funding source mix for the past five years.

Market Risk Management
OVERVIEW
Market risk arises from changes in interest rates, exchange rates, commodity
prices and equity prices. The Corporation maintains 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 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 18, beginning on page 64.
TRADING ACTIVITIES
The Corporation maintains 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.
Revenue related to trading activities was $292 million in 1995, up from $160
million in 1994. Most of the improvement was in the foreign exchange and
derivatives category.
The Corporation's trading activities are primarily customer-oriented, and
trading positions are established as necessary for customers. In order to
accommodate customer demand for such transactions, 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.
25
Many trading positions are kept open for brief periods of time, often less
than one day. Other trading positions are maintained 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 trading positions are
included in noninterest income as combined trading profits.
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. Risk points measure the market risk (potential overnight loss) in a
capital markets product. Products that have more inherent price volatility
incur more risk points. The risk point system, therefore, is the means by
which the Corporation manages its value at risk.
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 and 1995, and the actual trading revenue for each year.

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 1994
to 1995. However, the 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 net
interest income and economic value due to an imbalance in the repricing or
maturity of assets and liabilities. Asset and liability positions are actively
managed with the goal of minimizing the impact of interest rate volatility on
current earnings and on the market value of equity.
Whenever possible, assets are matched with liabilities of similar repricing
characteristics. However, the loans and deposits generated through ordinary
business activity do not naturally create offsetting positions with respect to
repricing or maturity. Asset and liability positions that are not
appropriately offset with either specific on-balance-sheet transactions or
with asset or liability pools are offset through the use of off-balance-sheet
derivatives positions (asset and liability management or "ALM" derivatives).
Traditional gap analysis is one of a variety of measurement tools used to
monitor and control the interest rate risk position. To measure the gap,
asset, liability, equity and off-balance-sheet positions are distributed to
26
future calendar periods based primarily on contractual interest rate repricing
dates and contractual maturity (including principal amortization) dates.
Maturity distributions are modified to reflect historical differences between
contractual and actual payment flows and management's assumptions regarding
the effect current interest rate levels may have on principal prepayments.
Additionally, assumptions are made as to the repricing frequency and balance
behavior of indeterminate maturity liabilities. Finally, credit card
securitizations, which subject credit card servicing fee revenue to interest
rate risk, are included in the gap analysis measure.
The net difference between the amount of assets and funding sources
repricing within a cumulative calendar period is typically referred to as the
"rate sensitivity position." Its magnitude in the various calendar periods
provides a general indication of the extent to which future earnings may be
affected by interest rate changes. A positive cumulative one-year gap position
indicates more assets than liabilities are anticipated to reprice over the
next 12-month period. Such a position implies that, assuming no management
action, the Corporation's net interest income would be positively affected by
rising interest rates and negatively affected by falling rates. The gap
position does not reflect the potential impact of embedded options on income
sensitivity.
The following table details the Corporation's interest rate gap analysis as
of December 31, 1995. Interest rate risks in trading and overseas asset and
liability 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. As of December 31,
1995, the cumulative one-year gap position was 0.1% of total assets. The
Corporation uses off-balance-sheet transactions, principally interest rate
swaps, to adjust the interest rate sensitivity of specific transactions, as
well as pools of assets or liabilities, to remain structurally neutral to
interest rate changes. As shown in the table above, the net result of ALM
derivatives was to reduce the cumulative one-year gap position from 3.5% to
0.1% of total assets.
In addition to static gap analysis, an earnings simulation analysis and a
value-at-risk measure are performed to identify more dynamic interest rate
risk exposures of the businesses, including embedded option positions.
27
The earnings simulation analysis estimates the effect that specific interest
rate changes would have on pretax earnings. The Corporation's policy is to

Access to the derivatives market is an important element in maintaining the
interest rate risk position within policy guidelines. At year-end 1995, ALM
interest rate swaps totaled $9.7 billion, including $3.8 billion against
specific transactions and $5.9 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 as they mature 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, assuming no change to the underlying pool's
characteristics, will need to be reissued to maintain the same interest rate
risk profile. These swaps could create modest earnings sensitivity to changes
in interest rates. The following table summarizes the interest rate swaps used
for asset and liability management purposes.

Substantially all ALM interest rate swaps are standard swap contracts. The
table that follows summarizes the contractual maturities and weighted average
pay and receive rates for the ALM swap position at December 31, 1995. 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.

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 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 credit-related and derivative financial instruments.

The allowance for credit losses is maintained at a level that in
management's judgment is adequate to provide for inherent credit losses
resulting from on-balance-sheet credit exposure for financial instruments such
as loans and derivatives, and off-balance-sheet credit exposure for credit-
related and derivative 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.
In addition, a separate reserve is maintained for securitized credit card
receivables, included in the other assets category. This reserve totaled $302
million at December 31, 1995, compared with $255 million at December 31, 1994.
NONPERFORMING ASSETS
Nonperforming assets, which consist of nonperforming loans and other real
estate, increased from $351 million at December 31, 1994, to $397 million at
December 31, 1995. Nonperforming assets as a percentage of total loans and
other real estate were 0.6% at December 31, 1995, unchanged from a year ago.

installment credit. The consumer loan portfolio increased $5.3 billion during
the year to $26.3 billion at year-end 1995. Including securitized credit card
receivables, the consumer portfolio increased $7.1 billion, or 26%, to $34.2

The consumer risk management process 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 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, vintage, and other relevant risk factors, including
forecasted regional delinquency levels and trends.

Total managed credit card receivables (i.e. those held in the portfolio and
those sold to investors through securitization) were $17.5 billion at December
31, 1995, up 34% from 1994. Average managed credit card receivables grew to
$14.2 billion in 1995, up 24% from 1994.

The net charge-off rate for the total average managed credit card portfolio
was 4.0% in 1995, compared with 3.5% in 1994. 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 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. Credit risks from off-balance-
sheet instruments arise from credit-related and derivative financial
instruments. See Note 16, beginning on page 61, for information on the credit
exposure associated with these off-balance-sheet instruments.
Commercial loans increased 11% from $34.2 billion at December 31, 1994, to
$38.1 billion at December 31, 1995. The increase reflects growth in both the
large corporate and middle market portfolios.
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 credit quality remained favorable in 1995, as net charge-offs
were $12 million, compared with $6 million in 1994. The provision for
commercial credit losses increased to $91 million in 1995 from $26 million in
1994, reflecting growth in the loan portfolio. The commercial reserve of $986
million represented 2.6% of total commercial loans at December 31, 1995,
compared with $907 million, or 2.7%, at December 31, 1994.
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, 1995, commercial real estate loans totaled $7.3 billion, or
19% of commercial loans, compared with $7.0 billion, or 20% of commercial
loans, at December 31, 1994. During 1995, net charge-offs in the commercial
real estate portfolio segment were $9 million, compared with $26 million in
1994. Nonperforming commercial real estate assets, including other real
estate, totaled $125 million, or 1.7% of related assets, at December 31, 1995,
compared with $186 million, or 2.6% of related assets, at December 31, 1994.
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 16, on pages 62 and 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 taken into 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 the balance sheet on an accrual basis
and on the income statement as an adjustment to the yield of the related
exposures over the periods covered by the contracts. The income recognition
treatment on 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.
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
A discussion of the Corporation's income from derivatives used in trading
activities is presented on page 20.
The Corporation uses interest rate derivative financial instruments to
reduce structural interest rate risk and the volatility of net interest
margin. The consistency of the Corporation's net interest margin reflects the
effective use of these derivatives. Without their use, net interest income
would have been higher by $12 million in 1995, lower by $48 million in 1994,
and lower by $110 million in 1993.
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 $6 million in
1995, $39 million in 1994 and $67 million in 1993.
Deferred gains and losses on the early termination of interest rate swaps
totaled a net deferred gain of $9 million as of December 31, 1995, and a net
deferred gain of $46 million as of December 31, 1994. A significant portion of
these deferred gains was related to securitized credit card receivables. The
amount at December 31, 1995, is scheduled to be amortized into income in the
following periods: $16 million in 1996, $(1) million in 1997, and $(6) million
in 1998 and thereafter.
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 29.
Credit exposure resulting from derivative financial instruments is
represented by their fair value amounts, increased by an estimate of potential
adverse position exposure. The incremental amount of credit exposure for
potential adverse movement is calculated using a statistical model that
estimates changes over time in exchange rates, interest rates and other
relevant factors. Credit exposure amounts fluctuate as a function of maturity,
interest rates, foreign exchange rates, commodity prices and equity prices.
Gross credit exposure may be overstated because it does not consider
collateral and other security, or the offsetting of losses with the same
35
counterparties based on legally enforceable termination and netting rights. A
reconciliation between gross credit exposure and balance sheet exposure is
presented in the following table.

Capital represents the stockholders' investment on which the Corporation
strives to generate attractive returns. It supports business growth and
provides protection to depositors and creditors. Management believes that
capital is the foundation of a cohesive risk management framework because it
links return with risk. Capital adequacy objectives have been developed for
the Corporation and the Principal Banks to meet these needs and also to
maintain a well-capitalized regulatory position.
Management believes that a strong capital base coupled with attractive
returns is instrumental in enhancing long-term stockholder value. To that end,
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 planning process, a capital plan is
established to guide management in the achievement of these objectives. This
plan is intended to ensure that the Corporation and each of its subsidiaries
have capital structures consistent with prudent management principles and
regulatory requirements.
36
ECONOMIC CAPITAL
In the normal course of business, the Corporation assumes several types of
risk: credit, liquidity, structural interest rate, market and
operating/fiduciary. As discussed in the Risk Management section, frameworks
have been developed to independently monitor and control many of these
exposures. To integrate these processes, 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. Once
economic capital is assigned, returns can be computed to determine if the
activity earns an adequate return on risk. This process forms a key decision-
making tool for managing risk-taking activities, as well as for ensuring that
capital is profitably employed.
A financial instrument or business activity attracts economic capital based
on its potential for loss of value over a particular time period. Capital is
designed to cover unexpected losses to a desired level of statistical
significance. Losses may result from adverse price movements for market and
interest rate risk, failure of a counterparty to perform according to the
terms of an agreement for credit risk, and operating errors and negligence for
operating/fiduciary risk. 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.
Although capital is allocated to specific activities and instruments, a
diverse portfolio of activities requires less capital than the sum of the
individual components due to the unlikelihood that all activities will
experience large value declines at the same time. Consequently, the
Corporation's total capital level will be less than the sum of the individual
requirements.
The Corporation intends to maintain capital commensurate with its risk
profile and intermediary requirements, and to deploy its capital resources in
activities that earn attractive returns for stockholders. Total economic
capital will vary proportionately with the level and riskiness of its
businesses and products. During 1995, credit risk consumed the largest amount
of economic capital.
The Corporation has also established a capital level that it believes is
necessary to provide management flexibility while maintaining an adequate base
for its risk profile and in relation to its peers. This target, or
intermediary capital, is expressed in terms of Tier 1 capital and ranges from
7% to 8%.
As the following chart shows, average common equity during 1995 exceeded
economic capital (that needed for current business risks) and was more than
sufficient to meet intermediary capital goals.
AVERAGE ECONOMIC CAPITAL [BAR GRAPH]

1994 1995
Economic Capital = $5.6 $5.7
Required for Targeted Intermediary Capital = $1.1 $1.7
Excess Capital = $0.3 $0.3
37
Excess capital, defined as common equity above the intermediary capital
target, is available for core business investment and acquisitions, and
averaged about $327 million during 1995. At year-end 1995, the Corporation had
no excess capital primarily due to merger-related charges. If attractive long-
term opportunities are not available over time in core businesses, management
intends to return to stockholders any excess capital, typically by way of
stock repurchase programs and/or dividend increases.
Integral to any successful capital management program is the ability to
generate acceptable returns on stockholders' capital. Even with excess
capital, the Corporation has been able to earn attractive returns on equity.
For the past three years, before merger-related charges, the return on average
common stockholders' equity has been greater than 15%--the Corporation's
minimum goal.
REGULATORY CAPITAL
The Corporation endeavors 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%.
As shown in the following chart, these ratios for the past three years have
reached or exceeded the upper end of the target ranges. Lower year-end 1995
ratios primarily reflect the impact of merger-related charges.

DIVIDENDS
Dividends are an integral part of the capital management and stockholder
value program. The Corporation's common dividend policy reflects its earnings
outlook, desired payout ratios, peer comparisons, the need to maintain an
adequate capital level and alternative investment opportunities. Given these
factors, the Corporation is currently targeting a common dividend payout ratio
in the range of 30% to 40% of operating earnings over time. On December 8,
1995, the Corporation increased its quarterly common dividend to $0.36 per
share. This represented a 9% increase from the previous $0.33 per share common
dividend rate.
STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM AND OTHER CAPITAL ACTIVITIES
The repurchase of shares is used to manage excess capital and enhance
stockholder value. The Corporation's stock repurchase program, which combines
FCC's and NBD's pre-Merger programs, authorizes the repurchase of up to 28.7
million shares of common stock. At December 31, 1995, 9.4 million shares
remain available for repurchase under this program. During 1995 and prior to
the Merger, the Corporation repurchased 15 million shares of common stock at
an average price of $34.08 per share.
On August 1, 1995, the Corporation's $120.5 million issue of Preferred
Stock, Series A, was redeemed, reducing annual dividend requirements by $8.4
million. Regulatory total capital was increased in May 1995 through the
issuance of $200 million of subordinated debt.
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, 1995,
double leverage was 115%, compared with 113% at year-end 1994.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FIRST CHICAGO NBD CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTE 1--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
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. Prior years' financial
statements have been reclassified to conform with the current 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 in consolidation.
(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
Effective November 17, 1995, the Corporation reclassified all held-to-
maturity debt securities to available-for-sale. 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 that allowed a one-time
window period to reassess and reclassify investment securities. The
reclassified debt investment securities were revalued at fair value, which
resulted in a $156 million unrealized pretax gain being recorded 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
debt and equity investment 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. Because of the nature of these
investments, the equity method of accounting is not used in situations where
the Corporation has a greater than 20% ownership interest.
Other debt and equity investment securities classified as available-for-sale
are carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses and applicable
income taxes reported in the fair value adjustment on investment securities
available-for-sale in stockholders' equity.

(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. Unrealized losses as well as realized gains or losses are 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.
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 received on a nonaccrual loan, in which ultimate
collection of the recorded investment amount is considered doubtful, are
recorded as a reduction to principal until such doubt no longer exists;
thereafter, interest payments received are recorded as a recovery, 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. In general, a loan
or portion of a loan is considered to be uncollectible when the likelihood of
recovery is judged to be 25% or less. This does not suggest, however, that
there is no possibility of a recovery of a portion or all of the loan in a
subsequent period.
Consumer loans are generally not placed on nonaccrual status but are charged
off after reaching certain delinquency periods (120-180 days). 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 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.
(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 attributable to
various financial instruments. The amount of the allowance is based on formal
review and analysis of potential credit losses, as well as prevailing economic
conditions.
45
(g) Premises and Equipment
Premises and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and
amortization. Depreciation is charged to noninterest expense over the
estimated useful lives of the assets and is computed on either a straight-line
or an accelerated depreciation method. 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 acquired 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 purchased mortgage servicing rights,
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 page 35.
(k) Foreign Currency Translation
When the primary operating currency (functional currency) of a foreign
installation is the U.S. dollar, its foreign currency-denominated 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) Employee Benefits
The Corporation adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS")
No. 112, "Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits," effective
January 1, 1994. This statement requires the accrual of benefits provided to
former or inactive employees after employment but before retirement. The
Corporation's prior practice was to expense these benefits when paid.
(m) Cash Flow Reporting
The Corporation uses the indirect method to report cash flows from operating
activities. Under this method, net income is adjusted to reconcile to net cash
flows from operating activities. 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. Cash flows related to sales of debt investment securities within
three months of the maturity date are classified as maturities in the
consolidated statement of cash flows. Cash and cash equivalents consist of
cash and due from banks, whether interest-bearing or not.
Effective November 17, 1995, a noncash transfer of $7.2 billion attributable
to reclassifying debt securities from held-to-maturity to available-for-sale
was made. Please refer to section (c) of this note for more details.
46
Upon adopting FASB Interpretation No. 39 on January 1, 1994, a noncash
transfer of balances attributable to derivative financial instruments on
December 31, 1993, was made from other assets ($1.5 billion) and other
liabilities ($1.3 billion) to net derivative product balances.
(n) Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In 1995 the FASB issued SFAS No. 122, "Accounting for Mortgage Servicing
Rights," which requires the capitalization of servicing rights on mortgage
loans when the loans are to be sold and the servicing retained, and SFAS No.
123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," which encourages the use of a
fair value-based method of accounting for certain but not all employee stock
compensation plans.
Implementation of these statements is not expected to be material to the
Corporation's business practices or results of operations.
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--FIRST CHICAGO NBD CORPORATION MERGER
On December 1, 1995 (the "Effective Time"), FCC merged with and into NBD,
with the combined company renamed First Chicago NBD Corporation. At the
Effective Time, each share of FCC common stock was converted into 1.81 shares
of common stock of the Corporation. In aggregate, 87.1 million shares of FCC
common stock were converted into 157.7 million shares of the Corporation's
common stock. Each share of NBD common stock remained outstanding representing
one share of the Corporation's common stock. Each share of FCC preferred stock
outstanding immediately prior to the Merger was converted into one share of
the Corporation's preferred stock with substantially similar terms. FCC
treasury shares held at the Effective Time were canceled. The Merger was
accounted for as a pooling of interests and, accordingly, the Financial
Statements have been restated.
The following presents financial information for FCC and NBD for the periods
prior to December, 1995. To conform to consistent methods of accounting,
certain reclassifications of historical data have been made. Among these were
the reclassification of the 1994 extraordinary item (to other noninterest
income), the 1994 cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles (to
salaries and employee benefits), and the 1993 cumulative effect of changes in
accounting principles (to applicable income taxes).

NOTE 4--MERGER-RELATED CHARGES
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 merger-related charges associated
with the business combination and restructuring plan (in millions).

$225

The reserve associated with such charges as of December 31, 1995, was $200
million. Most of the actions incorporated in the established business plans
will be implemented over a 12-15 month period following the Effective Time.
Personnel-related costs reflect primarily the costs of the benefit package
for separated employees. Facilities costs consist of lease termination costs
and other facilities-related exit costs arising from the closing of duplicate
branch facilities and from the consolidation of duplicate headquarters and
operational facilities. Equipment costs consist of computer equipment and
software write-offs due to duplication or incompatibility.
Targeted staff reductions total 1,700, coming primarily from the overlap in
the Chicago retail banking business, product synergies in the large corporate
and middle market businesses, as well as redundant staff and administrative
support functions. The benefit package for affected employees has been
approved by management and communicated on a corporate-wide basis.
Other merger-related charges include investment banking fees, securities
registration and listing fees, filing fees, and various accounting, legal and
other related costs. Investment banking fees of $12 million represent the
largest component of such costs.
NOTE 5--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.
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 6--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, 1995, attributable to domestic and foreign operations. No foreign
geographic region accounted for more than 10% of consolidated results.

Results from foreign operations include provisions for credit losses of
$(11) million in 1995, $(42) million in 1994 and $(16) million in 1993.
Recoveries, including those related to the Brazilian debt restructuring,
contributed to the negative provisions in all three years.
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.

pages 14 to 18, which summarize financial results for the Corporation's major

The amount of interest shortfall (the difference between interest
contractually due and interest actually recorded) related to nonperforming
loans at year-end was $19 million in 1995 and $16 million in 1994.
Credit card receivables are available for sale at par value through the
Corporation's credit card securitization program. In addition, other loans
available for sale at December 31, 1995 and 1994, totaled $556 million and
$312 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, 1995
and 1994, $271 million and $297 million, respectively, of such loans to
related parties were outstanding. An analysis of the activity during 1995 with
respect to such loans includes additions of $793 million, and reductions of
$819 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 provisions. Nonperforming
loans are generally identified as "impaired loans."
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. For non-collateral
dependent loans, the calculated present value is measured using a discounted
cash flow approach. 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. Collateral-dependent
loans, primarily real estate, are separately measured for impairment by
determining the fair value of the collateral less estimated costs to sell.
The allocated reserve associated with impaired loans is considered in
management's determination of the allowance for credit losses. The adoption of
this accounting standard did not have a significant effect on net income or
allowance for credit losses.
At December 31, 1995, the recorded investment in loans considered impaired
was $363 million, which required a related allowance for credit losses of $36
million. Of the $363 million in impaired loans, $194 million required the
establishment of an allocated reserve. The average recorded investment in
impaired loans was approximately $302 million for the year ended December 31,
1995. The Corporation recognized interest income associated with impaired
loans of $15 million during the year.
NOTE 10--PLEDGED AND RESTRICTED ASSETS
Assets carried at $22.3 billion in the consolidated balance sheet at
December 31, 1995, were pledged to secure government deposits, trust deposits,
and 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
1995 and 1994, the average balances maintained to meet this requirement were
$867 million and $928 million, respectively.
53
NOTE 11--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, 1995 and
1994, 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 3/8% to 11 1/4% and
maturities that range from 1999 to 2023. The floating rate notes due in 2003
have an interest rate priced at the greater of 4 1/4% or the three-month
London interbank offered rate plus 1/8%. The interest rate on this issue on
December 31, 1995, was 6 1/16%. 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 5.25%. On December 31, 1995, the
interest rate was 5 13/16%.
54
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, 1995, all the equity securities required by the agreements had
been issued.
The interest rate on the floating rate equity contract notes is reset
quarterly at 3/16% over the average offered rate quoted in the London
interbank market for three-month Eurodollar deposits. The interest rate on
this issue as of December 31, 1995, was 6.00%.
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 $1.624 billion includes various notes
with a weighted average interest rate of 6.63% and remaining weighted average
maturity of 25 months at December 31, 1995.
(B) SUBSIDIARIES' LONG-TERM DEBT
The bank notes are unsecured and unsubordinated debt obligations of the
Banks. At December 31, 1995, the weighted average rate of the bank notes was
6.07% 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
redeemable by the bank prior to maturity. Registered holders have a one-time
right to redeem the notes at par, in whole or in part, on November 1, 2004.
Other long-term debt at December 31, 1995, included $281 million related to
the sale and lease-back of certain bank properties. The effective interest
rate related to this transaction is 8.7%, with expected maturity in 2018.
(C) MATURITY OF LONG-TERM DEBT
Of the Corporation's $8.163 billion total long-term debt, $2.225 billion,
$1.461 billion, $621 million, $653 million and $360 million is scheduled to
mature in 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999 and 2000, respectively.
NOTE 12--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
55
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,
1995, are presented in the following table.

common stock at the option of the stockholders at any time at the
conversion price of $29.6271 per common share, subject to adjustment under
certain conditions. In the fourth quarter of 1995, 226 preferred shares
were converted into 38,158 shares of the Corporation's common stock. Shares
are redeemable beginning April 1, 1997, at the option of the Corporation,
at a price of $5,172.50 ($51.725 per depositary share), with the redemption
price decreasing annually until the shares are redeemable on or after April
1, 2003, at their stated value of $5,000 per share ($50 per depositary
share).
All shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series A, were called for
redemption in August 1995. The redemption price was $50 per share plus accrued
and unpaid dividends.
All shares of 10% Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series D, were called for
redemption in July 1994. The redemption price of $25.75 per share plus accrued
and unpaid dividends included a 3% premium, totaling $4.5 million.
All shares of Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, Series A, were called
for redemption on September 2, 1993. Each such share was convertible into 2.518
shares of the Corporation's common stock at the option of the stockholder, and
approximately 2.1 million shares of the preferred stock were converted into
approximately 5.4 million shares of common stock. Resultant fractional shares
were paid in cash. On September 2, 1993, the Corporation redeemed the remaining
shares of the Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, Series A, at the price of
$51.50 per share plus accrued and unpaid dividends.
NOTE 13--EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
The Corporation is currently in the process of reviewing its pension,
employee savings, postemployment, and postretirement benefit plans with the
objective of establishing common plans for all employees of the combined
Corporation. Such new plans are intended to become effective by January 1,
1997.
(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 required by the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA"), and the maximum tax
deductible amount based on IRS limits.
56
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 $15 million in 1995 and
$20 million in 1994.
Net periodic pension (credit) cost includes the following components for the
years ended December 31.

projected benefit obligation and net periodic pension (credit) cost of such
plans at December 31 are as follows.

(B) POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS OTHER THAN PENSIONS
The Corporation sponsors postretirement plans that provide life insurance and
health care benefits for certain employees when they retire. The postretirement
health care benefit, which can also cover eligible dependents, is contributory,
with retiree contributions adjusted annually to reflect increases in the
Corporation's health care costs. The postretirement life insurance benefit is
noncontributory.
Net periodic postretirement benefit cost included the following components
for the years ended December 31.

Accrued postretirement benefit liability recognized in the
consolidated balance sheet........................................ $(82) $(66)
==== ====
The assumption used to measure postretirement benefit costs is a 9% annual
rate of increase in the per capita cost of covered health care benefits for
1996, 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, 1995, by $4 million and the aggregate of the
service and interest cost components of net periodic postretirement benefit
cost for 1995 by approximately $0.4 million.
The weighted average discount rate used in determining the accumulated
postretirement benefit obligation was 7.25% at December 31, 1995, and 8.0% at
year-end 1994.
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 1995 or 1994.
(C) EMPLOYEE SAVINGS PLANS
The Corporation maintains various savings plans for U.S.-based employees
meeting certain eligibility requirements.
Under the existing FCC 401(k) plan, participants may contribute from 1% to
6% of their salary on a pretax basis, and an additional 1% to 10% of salary on
an after-tax basis. Beginning in 1994, the employer contribution to the plan
was determined as 100% of the first $750 of pretax contributions made by
participants and 50% of any pretax contributions in excess of $750. The plan
was amended in 1993 to allow a supplemental profit-based contribution to the
plan.
The existing NBD 401(k) plan requires 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 $37 million in 1995, $36 million in 1994,
and $35 million in 1993.
The Corporation also maintains an Employee Stock Purchase and Savings Plan
that allows eligible employees to authorize payroll deductions for deposit in
interest-bearing savings accounts 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. No expense is
recognized in connection with such stock purchases.
58
(D) STOCK AWARD AND STOCK OPTION PLANS
The Corporation maintains various incentive plans that allow the granting of
restricted shares, stock options, or other stock-based awards to eligible
employees. Restricted shares granted to key officers require them to continue
employment from one to seven years beginning on the original grant date before
the shares are ultimately distributed to the employee. The market value of the
restricted shares as of the date of grant is amortized to compensation expense
over the restriction period.
The Corporation also maintains performance-based stock plans. The shares
issued under these programs are distributed only if performance criteria are
met. The ultimate expense attributable to these plans is based on the market
value of the shares on the date the shares are awarded. For both the
restricted stock plans and the performance-based stock plans, the unamortized
cost of such shares is included in stockholders' equity. At December 31, 1995,
the number of restricted shares and performance-based shares outstanding was
3,071,074.
The various incentive plans also permit the granting of stock options. In
addition, stock options may be granted that include the right to receive a
restorative option. A restorative option allows a participant who exercises
the original option, and who meets several specific criteria related to the
payment of the purchase price of the option with shares of the Corporation's
common stock, the right to receive an option to purchase the number of shares
of common stock equal to the number of shares used by the participant in
payment of the original option price plus, in the case of certain plans, the
number of shares used by the participant in payment of related tax withholding
obligations. The exercise price of the restorative option is equal to the fair
market value of the common stock on the date the reload option is granted.
The following table summarizes stock option activity related to the various
incentive plans for 1995.

NOTE 16--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 and cash 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.
[Download Table]
COMMITMENTS AND LETTERS OF CREDIT 1995 1994
DECEMBER 31 (IN BILLIONS) ----- -----
Unused loan commitments*........................................... $54.0 $45.6
Unused credit card lines........................................... 76.7 65.0
Unused home equity lines........................................... 1.8 1.8
Commercial letters of credit....................................... 0.9 1.1
Standby letters of credit and foreign office guarantees............ 6.9 6.2
--------
*Includes unused commercial real estate exposure of $1.2 billion and $1.0
billion at December 31, 1995 and 1994, 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.
61
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, 1995 and 1994, standby letters of credit and foreign office
guarantees had been issued for the following purposes.

At December 31, 1995, $5.453 billion of standby letters of credit was due to
expire within three years and $1.450 billion was to expire after three years.
(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
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. Certain agreements are combined
interest rate and foreign currency swap transactions.
. 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.
62
. 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 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, 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 26 to 29.
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 34 report the Corporation's gross notional principal or
contractual amounts of derivative financial instruments as of December 31,
1995, and December 31, 1994. 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.
(F) CASH FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The face amount of securities sold but not yet purchased totaled $1.723
billion at December 31, 1995, and $1.036 billion at December 31, 1994. The
fair value of these obligations is reflected in the balance sheet in other
short-term borrowings. The fair value of such securities totaled $1.765
million at December 31, 1995, and $972 million at December 31, 1994.
NOTE 17--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 8, on page 52, and information on unused consumer and
commercial real estate commitments is presented in Note 16, on page 61.
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 75. 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 $2.9 billion and
$1.3 billion at December 31, 1995, and December 31, 1994, respectively.
NOTE 18--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.
The only fair value disclosure provided in addition to those made for the
Corporation's financial instruments pertains to credit card securitizations;
this disclosure is provided because the interest rate risk exposure related to
such securitization is reduced by financial instruments.
64

of financial instruments as of December 31, 1995 and 1994.

(1) The estimated average fair values of derivative financial instruments used
in trading activities during 1995 were $7.1 billion classified as assets
and $6.7 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 90 days
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 trading securities and securities sold but not
yet purchased were generally based on quoted market prices or dealer quotes.
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.
65
(B) INVESTMENT SECURITIES
The estimated fair values of debt investment securities were generally based
on quoted market prices or dealer quotes. See Note 1, beginning on page 44,
and Note 7, beginning on page 51, for information on methods for estimating
the fair value of equity investment securities.
(C) 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.
(D) 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.
(E) 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.
(F) 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.
(G) CREDIT CARD SECURITIZATIONS (OFF-BALANCE-SHEET EXPOSURE)
Floating and fixed rate credit card receivables sold as securities to
investors through a separate trust are not financial instruments of the
Corporation. However, the Corporation uses financial instruments (see (f)
above) to reduce interest rate risk exposure attributable to these
securitizations. The carrying value and the interest rate effect on
anticipated excess servicing fee income are disclosed in the preceding table.
The carrying value represents the reserve for credit losses related to
securitized credit card receivables and net deferred income or expense. The
interest rate effect on anticipated excess servicing fee income represents the
difference between the par value and the quoted market price of the
securitized credit card receivables held by investors.
NOTE 19--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, also 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 the matters
referred to in this note 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 then on hand" less the amount of bad debts, as defined, in
excess of the allowance for credit losses. In addition, a bank cannot declare
a dividend, without regulatory approval, in an amount in excess of its net
profits, as defined, 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 $1.2
billion without regulatory approval at January 1, 1996. 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, 1995, all of the Principal
Banks significantly exceeded the regulatory guidelines for "well-capitalized"
status.
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, 1995. The commitment fee paid under each agreement is 0.125%. 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, 1995.

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.
71
The Corporation assessed its internal control structure over financial
reporting as of December 31, 1995, 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, 1995, 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,
1995 and 1994, and the related consolidated statements of income,
stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 1995. These financial statements are the responsibility of
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 financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of First Chicago NBD
Corporation and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the
results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years
in the period ended December 31, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

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 1995, $7.9 billion in credit card receivables was securitized,
compared with $6.1 billion at year-end 1994.
For analytical purposes only, the following table shows income statement line
items adjusted for the net impact of securitization of credit card receivables.

ACCELERATED ASSET DISPOSITION PORTFOLIO
During the third quarter of 1992, the Corporation segregated approximately
$2.0 billion of commercial real estate exposure at FNBC to be managed under an
accelerated disposition program. By year-end 1994, the liquidation of this
portfolio had been virtually completed.
During 1995, assets having nearly $147 million in original contractual
exposure were sold or otherwise liquidated. This resulted in a $29 million
reduction in the portfolio's carrying value and the recognition of net
76
gains of $37 million in noninterest income during 1995. The carrying value of
the remaining assets in the portfolio was $22 million at year-end 1995,
representing 26% of original contractual exposure. Nonperforming assets in
this portfolio totaled $22 million at year-end 1995, $37 million at year-end
1994, and $87 million at year-end 1993.
