The return on average common equity for the first quarter of 1997 was 16.50 percent, an increase of 131 basis points from the same period a year ago.

"We are pleased with our first-quarter results, particularly with the improvement in the return on average common equity," David A. Coulter, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said. "We continue to focus on the fundamentals, including effective operating leverage Operating Leverage

Notes:
The higher the degree of operating leverage, the greater the potential danger from forecasting risk.
, prudent risk management, and disciplined capital management." Coulter cited the following first-quarter activities as examples of continuing progress in the corporation's efforts toward strategic management of capital:

-- The establishment of a relationship with D.E. Shaw which

significantly increases BAC's ability to offer equity-related

products to its customers;

-- The announcement of the intention to sell its consumer finance

business, Security Pacific Financial Services The examples and perspective in this article or section may not represent a worldwide view of the subject.

of 1996. BAC's net interest margin for the first quarter of 1997

was 4.16 percent, down 20 basis points from the comparable period

a year ago, but up 3 basis points from the previous quarter.

Excluding the effects of the credit card securitizations during the

second half of 1996, net interest income for the first quarter

of 1997 would have increased $63 million from the first quarter

of 1996 and the net interest margin would have been 4.20 percent.

-- Noninterest income increased $111 million, or 9 percent, from

the first quarter of 1996. Excluding the effect of a $50 million

first quarter of 1996, noninterest income would have increased

$161 million, or 13 percent, from the first quarter of 1996. The

first-quarter 1997 amounts included growth in other fees and

commissions of $55 million, primarily due to higher loan servicing Loan servicing is the process by which a mortgage bank or subservicing firm collects the timely payment of interest and principal from borrowers.

fees. In addition, the net gain on sales of loans, primarily

residential first mortgages, rose $33 million. Furthermore, there

were increases of $23 million in both trading income and income

from equity investments in affiliates and joint ventures from the

comparable quarter last year.

-- Noninterest expense was $2,033 million, up $20 million from

the first quarter of 1996, primarily due to payments on trust

preferred securities. Without these payments, noninterest expense

would have been $1,998 million, a decrease of $15 million from the

first quarter of 1996.

-- The provision for credit losses was $220 million, up $40

million from the first quarter of 1996, but unchanged from the

previous quarter. Net credit losses were $204 million for the

first quarter of 1997, a decline of $35 million, or 15 percent,

from the first quarter of 1996.

-- Nonaccrual assets were $1,030 million at March 31, 1997, a

decrease of $88 million, or 8 percent, from their December December: see month.  31,

1996 level.

-- In connection with BAC's ongoing efforts to effectively manage

capital, BAC repurchased 4.3 million shares of its common stock

during the first quarter of 1997 at an average per-share price of

(a)During the fourth quarter of 1996, BAC changed the past due
   period by which residential real estate loans and consumer loans that
   are collateralized by junior mortgages on residential real estate are
   considered nonaccrual.  The maximum period that loans can be past due
   before being place on nonaccrual status was reduced from 180 days to
   90 days.  As a result of this change, nonaccrual loans increased by
   $144 million, while loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing
   interest decreased by the same amount.

(b)Includes consumer loans of $189 million, $187 million, and
   $336 million at March 31, 1997, December 31, 1996, and March 31,
   1996, respectively.
