ITEM 1 BUSINESS

For a description of the Business of BANC ONE refer to "Corporate Profile" on the inside front cover of BANC ONE's 1993 Annual Report to Shareholders "Market Presence by State" and "Other Affiliates" and Note 2, "Affiliations and Pending Affiliations," on pages 20-21 and 29-30 and 80 of the 1993 Annual Report to Shareholders, which are expressly incorporated herein by reference.
COMPETITION
Active competition exists in all principal areas in which BANC ONE or one or more of its subsidiaries is presently engaged, not only with respect to commercial banks, but also with savings and loan associations, credit unions, finance companies, mortgage companies, leasing companies, insurance companies, money market mutual funds and brokerage houses together with other domestic and foreign financial and non-financial institutions such as General Electric, General Motors and Ford.
EMPLOYEES

ITEM 3 LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In October 1993, a purported class-action lawsuit was filed against Bank One, Columbus, NA (Columbus), H & R Block, Inc. and other financial institutions in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Alabama, Western Division. This lawsuit, among other things, alleges that Columbus assessed usurious and unconscionable interest rates in connection with its income tax refund anticipation loan program. This lawsuit is brought on behalf of a purported class of individuals who, during the past six years, had their taxes prepared by H & R Block Inc., and received refund anticipation loans from Columbus or the other unrelated co-defendant financial institutions. This lawsuit seeks various forms of relief including injunctive relief, unspecified compensatory and punitive damages and attorneys' fees. Columbus has denied any liability. Management believes that an adverse decision in this case would not be material to BANC ONE's consolidated financial position.
The dismissal of a purported class action lawsuit against Columbus by the Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania is on appeal to the Pennsylvania Superior Court. This case was one of many class action lawsuits brought against credit card issuing banks challenging whether such banks can impose various types of fees allowed by the state where they are located on cardholders residing in other states that allegedly limit or prohibit such fees. Even if this lawsuit were ultimately decided adversely to Columbus, management believes that such determination would not be material to BANC ONE's consolidated financial position. There can be no assurance that bank affiliates of BANC ONE will not be named as defendants in future similar lawsuits.
Substantial damages have been awarded by courts against BANC ONE subsidiaries in two other unrelated cases. In October 1993, the Federal District Court for the Southern District of New York entered a judgment for approximately $27 million against Bank One, Arizona, NA (formerly Valley National Bank) based upon alleged violations by Valley National Bank of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. BANC ONE was aware of this case prior to its acquisition of Valley National Bank. In November 1993, the Probate Court of Dallas County, Texas entered a judgment of approximately $26 million against Bank One, Texas, NA (Texas) based on an alleged breach of fiduciary duties associated with the handling of a personal trust. Those judgments, which are being appealed, even if upheld will not have a material adverse effect on BANC ONE's consolidated financial position.
Except as stated above neither BANC ONE nor any of its subsidiaries is involved in any material legal proceedings outside the normal course of its business. Similarly, no property owned by any said entities is the subject of any material legal proceeding.
