NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

  The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of
First USA, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Company") have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial

amounts have been reclassified.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair
presentation have been included.  Operating results for the three months ended

NOTE C - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK

  At September 30, 1996 and June 30, 1996, the Company had interest rate swap
agreements with notional amounts totaling $2.2 billion and $2.1 billion,
respectively.  The Company enters into interest rate swap agreements to convert
fixed rate liabilities to floating rate liabilities as an efficient alternative
to issuing floating rate funding sources.

NOTE D - ASSET SECURITIZATION

  The Company had outstanding securitizations of credit card loans of $16.0
billion and $15.2 billion at September 30, 1996 and June 30, 1996, respectively.
These transactions have been recorded as sales and the Company records no gain
at the time of sale.  The associated net servicing fees are recognized monthly
over the lives of the transactions on an accrual basis and are included in
securitization income in the statements of income.

  In June 1996, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 125, "Accounting for
Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities,"
which provides accounting and reporting standards for transfers and servicing of
financial assets and extinguishment of liabilities based on an approach that
focuses on

control of the assets and extinguishment of the liabilities. In addition, the
statement provides standards for distinguishing transfers of financial assets
that are sales from transfers that are secured borrowings and provides
implementation guidance for securitization transactions and repurchase
agreements. The statement is effective for transactions occurring subsequent to
December 31, 1996. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this
statement.

NOTE E - BUSINESS COMBINATIONS AND MERCHANT PORTFOLIO PURCHASES

  On August 19, 1996, First USA Paymentech, Inc. ("Paymentech") purchased for
approximately $170 million all of the outstanding stock of GENSAR Holdings Inc.
("GENSAR").  GENSAR is one of the nation's largest providers of third party
credit and debit authorization services, processing approximately 300 million
transactions during the twelve months ended June 30, 1996.  The acquisition also
includes a merchant processing portfolio which has approximately $1 billion in
annual sales volume.  The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase, and
accordingly, its results were included in Paymentech's results of operations
from the date of acquisition.  The pro forma effects of this acquisition, as if
it had occurred at the beginning of the periods presented, were not material and
therefore have not been included.

ITEM 2.             MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS



GENERAL
  The Company is one of the nation's largest providers of Visa and MasterCard
services through its principal operating subsidiaries, First USA Bank and First
USA Paymentech, Inc. ("Paymentech").  First USA Bank is an issuer of Visa and
MasterCard credit cards with approximately 15.1 million credit cards issued and
$19.8 billion in managed credit card loans outstanding at September 30, 1996.
First USA Bank's profitability is affected by loan growth, interest rate spread,
Cardmember usage, credit quality and marketing expenses. Paymentech conducts its
business through its wholly owned subsidiaries, First USA Merchant Services,
Inc. ("Merchant Services") and First USA Financial Services, Inc. ("Financial
Services").  Merchant Services is the third largest payment processor of
bankcard transactions in the United States, according to published industry
sources, with approximately $30.9 billion in sales volume processed and
approximately 574.2 million bankcard transactions for the fiscal year ended June
30, 1996.  Financial Services markets and issues to businesses and other
entities commercial cards that facilitate business-to-business payment
procedures and reporting, replacing traditional direct payment methods.

The Company's newest operating subsidiary, First USA Federal Savings Bank
("FSB"), conducts its operations as a direct bank, offering customers banking
products via phone, mail and other electronic distribution channels.  FSB's
current offerings of financial products include mortgages, limited testing of
auto and homeowners' insurance and unsecured installment loans and soon is
expected to include remote banking, retail certificates of deposit, auto loans
and other financial products.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

  Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 1996, was $64.1 million, or
$0.95 per share.  Included in net income for the quarter ended September 30,
1996 is a one-time merger, integration and impairment charge of $15.5 million,
recorded by Paymentech, related to the acquisition of GENSAR Holdings, Inc.
This one-time charge reduced net income by $7.4 million, or $0.11 per share.
Income, excluding the one-time charge, was $71.5 million, or $1.06 per share,
compared with net income of $54.9 million, or $0.83 per share, for the quarter
ended September 30, 1995.  The increase in operating results is attributable to
the 35.8% growth of average managed loans from $14.1 billion to $19.1 billion,
increased credit card charge volume, an increase in managed loan yield, a
decrease in cost of funds and increased payment processing volume.  These
increases were partially offset by increased net credit losses.

  On-balance-sheet loans increased from $3.3 billion at September 30, 1995 to
$3.9 billion as of September 30, 1996, which reflects the results of the
Company's direct solicitations, partially offset by the Company's completion of
securitizations of $5.2 billion.

MANAGED PORTFOLIO REPORTING AND ANALYSIS

  It is management's practice to analyze its financial performance on a
"managed" portfolio basis, in addition to analyzing information as reported
under generally accepted accounting principles.  The effect of securitizing
loans is to remove these loans from the balance sheet and to record net interest
income and fees less net credit losses on the securitized loans as
securitization income.  Managed loan statistics include loans sold in
securitization transactions and the Company's on-balance-sheet loan portfolio.
The Company's consolidated statements of income and balance sheets are adjusted
to eliminate the effect of securitizing loans to analyze the data on a "managed"
portfolio basis.

The following table depicts the changes in the Company's key financial data as a
result of securitizing loans as of and for the three months ended September 30,
1996 and 1995. The As Reported information is derived from consolidated
financial statements which have been prepared in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.  Managed loan data include loans sold in
securitization transactions and the Company's on-balance-sheet loan portfolio.

NET INTEREST INCOME

  For the three months ended September 30, 1996, net interest income was $44.2
million, an increase of 86.9% from net interest income of $23.7 million for the
three months ended September 30, 1995.  This increase was due to an increase in
loan interest income of $15.8 million primarily due to growth in on-balance-
sheet loans and increased yield.  Interest income from investments, excluding
interest income from cash equivalents, increased $9.6 million due to an increase
in average investments from $2.3 billion to $3.0 billion, partially offset by a
decrease in yield from 6.76% to 6.55% for the three months ended September 30,
1995 and 1996, respectively.  Interest expense increased $4.9 million due to an
increase in average interest-bearing liabilities from $5.7 billion to $6.5
billion, to supplement the funding of loan growth, which is primarily funded by
securitizations.  This increase was partially offset by a decrease in cost of
funds from 6.38% to 5.84% for the three months ended September 30, 1995 and
1996, respectively.

  Net interest margin on a managed basis was 7.00% for the three months ended
September 30, 1996, compared with 5.51% for the three months ended September 30,
1995.  The increase is due to managed loan interest yield increasing from 12.69%
for the three months ended September 30, 1995 to 13.87% for

OTHER OPERATING INCOME

  Other operating income was $313.6 million for the three months ended September
30, 1996 compared with $225.7 million for the three months ended September 30,
1995.  The three months ended September 30, 1996 included a $55.7 million
increase in securitization income, due to the 43.2% increase in average
securitized loans and a $23.9 million increase in other operating income
resulting primarily from increased payment processing volume.

OTHER OPERATING EXPENSES

  Other operating expenses, excluding amortization of intangibles, increased
66.7% to $212.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 1996, versus
$127.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 1995.  Postage,
shipping, stationery and supplies increased $15.5 million, data processing and
communications increased $10.9 million, and other expenses, excluding
Paymentech's one-time charge of $15.5 million, increased $18.0 million due to
increased marketing costs associated with loan solicitations and increased
accounts, transaction volumes and balances, resulting primarily from the 35.8%
increase in average managed loans. Salaries and employee benefits increased
$19.3 million primarily due to the increase in number of employees. Occupancy
and equipment expenses increased $5.8 million primarily due to facility
expansions.

INTANGIBLES

  The Company's consolidated balance sheets include a customer base intangible
which represents the excess of allocable amounts paid over the stated amount of
the credit card loans acquired, primarily those acquired when the Company was
acquired by a management-led investor group in 1989.  The customer base
intangible is amortized over the estimated periods to be benefited (generally
seven to eleven years) on a straight-line basis based on independent portfolio
valuation studies.  The amortization of the customer base intangible is
primarily a tax deductible item for which the Company realizes a reduction in
federal tax payments.  The examination division of the Internal Revenue Service
("IRS") has completed an examination for fiscal years 1990, 1991 and 1992 and
proposed to limit the Company's intangible tax deductions.  The Company
disagreed with the proposal and is pursuing a resolution of the matter through
the IRS appeals process and may pursue it further through litigation, if
necessary.  At the present time, if it impossible to predict the outcome
concerning the Company's amortization of its intangible; however, the Company
believes it has strong arguments in support of its position and expects that
this challenge will not have a material impact on the Company.

  The balance sheet also includes purchased merchant portfolios and goodwill,
resulting primarily from acquisitions by Paymentech.  Purchased merchant
portfolios and goodwill increased from $88.9 million at June 30, 1996 to $298.7
million at September 30, 1996, due primarily to the acquisition of GENSAR
Holdings, Inc. during the three months ended September 30, 1996.

ASSET QUALITY

  The Company's delinquency and net credit loss rates at any time reflect, among
other factors, the quality of the credit card loans, the average seasoning of
the Company's accounts, the success of the Company's collection efforts and
general economic conditions.

  As a result of a slower rate of growth, intense competition and the overall
softening in consumer credit, delinquency and net credit loss rates for the
Company trended higher during the quarter.  Over the past year, new unseasoned
loans have become a smaller percentage of managed credit card loans, which has
contributed to the increase in managed delinquency and managed credit card loss
rates.  In light of these conditions, the Company continued to tighten and
refine credit underwriting.  The Company believes that delinquency and net
credit loss rates will trend consistent with industry levels.  The managed
delinquency rate at September 30, 1996, was 5.03%, and the managed net credit
loss rate for the first quarter of fiscal year 1997 was 4.49%.  The Company's
focus continues to be to optimize the profitability of each account within the
context of acceptable risk characteristics.  The Company has 

                                       12
<PAGE>
 
ASSET QUALITY -- CONTINUED

developed a credit process through the experience of numerous marketing, credit
and risk management tests which provides the Company with a reliable basis for
predicting the asset quality of new accounts.  The Company also believes that
its frequent and early contact with delinquent customers, as well as active
portfolio management, has a significant impact on predicting delinquency trends
and managing net credit losses.

Delinquencies

  The following table represents the delinquency trends of the Company's loans
as reported for financial purposes and for managed loans.  An account is
contractually delinquent if the minimum payment is not received by the billing
date.  It is the Company's policy to accrue interest and fee income on all
credit card accounts, except as specified below, until the account is charged
off.  In certain situations where an account becomes delinquent and a legitimate
hardship exists, a loan may qualify to be placed on nonaccrual status, provided
that the account is closed and the credit card is returned.  All hardship
situations result in either a charge off of the account or a re-establishment to
reliable paying status.  The Company has stringent policies governing the
placement of accounts into hardship and the ultimate disposition of these
accounts.

Net Credit Losses

          Net credit losses include the principal amount (excluding accrued
finance charges and fees) of losses resulting from Cardmembers unwilling or
unable to pay, as well as bankrupt and deceased accounts, less current period
recoveries.  Loans are charged off prior to the end of the seventh billing cycle
after having become contractually past due unless a payment has been received
sufficient to bring the account into a different delinquency category or bring
the account current.

PROVISION AND ALLOWANCE FOR POSSIBLE CREDIT LOSSES

  The provision for possible credit losses includes current period credit losses
and an amount which, in the judgment of management, is necessary to maintain the
allowance for possible credit losses at a level that reflects known and inherent
risks in the loan portfolio.  For the three months ended September 30, 1996, the
Company's provision for possible credit losses was $29.6 million, which included
charges of $2.5 million to increase the allowance for possible credit losses.
On an annualized basis, this provision was 3.13% of average loans outstanding.
This compared to a provision of $21.2 million for the three months ended
September 30, 1995, which on an annualized basis was 2.52% of average credit
card loans outstanding.

FIRST USA PAYMENTECH, INC.

  Paymentech recorded a net loss of $3.3 million, or $0.10 per share, for the
quarter ended September 30, 1996.  Paymentech's results of operations for the
quarter ended September 30, 1996, include a one-time, merger, integration and
impairment charge of $15.5 million, related to the acquisition of GENSAR
Holdings, Inc.  This one-time charge reduced Paymentech's net income by $9.7
million, or $0.30 per share.  Excluding the effects of the one-time charge,
Paymentech's net income increased 827.4% to $6.4 million, or $0.20 per share,
for the quarter ended September 30, 1996, compared with net income of $0.7
million, or $0.03 per share, for the quarter ended September 30, 1995.  Net
revenue increased 66.4% to $39.6 million compared with $23.8 million for the
prior year period.  During the September 1996 quarter, Paymentech processed
approximately $9.0 billion in sales volume in approximately 263.6 million total
transactions.

  On August 19, 1996, Paymentech purchased for approximately $170 million all of
the outstanding stock of GENSAR.  GENSAR is one of the nation's largest
providers of third party credit and debit authorization services, processing
approximately 300 million transactions during the twelve months ended June 30,
1996.  The acquisition also included a merchant processing portfolio which has
approximately $1 billion in annual sales volume.  The acquisition was accounted
for as a purchase, and accordingly, its results were included in Paymentech's
results of operations from the effective date of the acquisition.

FIRST USA PAYMENTECH, INC. -- CONTINUED

  Paymentech funded the GENSAR purchase and subsequent payoff of GENSAR's debt
with proceeds from its initial public offering ($75 million), a loan from the
Company ($25 million) and non-interest-bearing notes payable to the previous
shareholders of GENSAR ($100 million) due October 18, 1996.

  In March 1996, Paymentech completed initial public offerings of 7.3 million
shares of its common stock.  At September 30, 1996, Paymentech had 31.7 million
shares outstanding of which the Company owned 24.4 million shares, or
approximately 77%.  At September 30, 1996, the market value of the Company's
investment in Paymentech's common stock was approximately $992 million.

On November 8, 1996, Paymentech filed a Registration Statement on Form S-1 with
the Securities and Exchange Commission for a public offering of 6.8 million
shares of Paymentech Common Stock. The offering includes approximately 4 million
shares to be sold by the Company and approximately 2.8 million shares to be
issued and sold by Paymentech. Subsequent to this offering, First USA will own
approximately 59% of Paymentech common stock, assuming no exercise of
underwriters' over-allotment options, or 57%, if the underwriters' over-
allotment options are exercised in full.

  In February 1996, Paymentech entered into a $100 million revolving credit
facility payable to a bank syndicate.  The Paymentech credit facility bears
interest based on LIBOR plus 0.35% to 0.90% and commitment fees ranging from
0.15% to 0.30% on the unused portion, based on Paymentech's debt to
capitalization ratio, payable quarterly.  The Paymentech credit facility expires
in February 1999, with the option of two one-year extensions.  First USA
Financial, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary, is a guarantor to the Paymentech
credit facility.  The Paymentech credit facility provides Paymentech and the
Company a source of additional liquidity to manage cash flow, provide capital to
subsidiaries for expansion and for other corporate uses.  Under the Paymentech
credit facility, Paymentech loans to the Company cannot exceed $25 million.  At
September 30, 1996, there were no borrowings under the Paymentech credit
facility, and none of the covenants would have had the effect of restricting
Paymentech's ability to pay dividends.  In October 1996, Paymentech refinanced
the $100 million note payable to the former shareholders of GENSAR through the
Paymentech credit facility, and subsequently increased the line of credit
available under the Paymentech credit facility to $200 million.

FUNDING AND LIQUIDITY

  Traditional asset liquidity is provided by cash, cash equivalents and
investments.  These items represented 41.7%, 43.2%, and 40.4% of the Company's
assets as of September 30, 1996, June 30, 1996, and September 30, 1995,
respectively.

  The Company had securitized loans of $16.0 billion, $15.2 billion and $11.7
billion at September 30, 1996, June 30, 1996, and September 30, 1995,
respectively.  During the three months ended September 30, 1996, the Company
completed securitizations of approximately $602.4 million.  At September 30,
1996, securitized loans had a weighted average remaining life of 3.4 years and a
weighted average cost of funds of approximately 5.78%.  The market for
securities backed by receivables is a reliable, efficient and cost-effective
source of funds, which the Company plans to continue to use as a source of
funding.

  When securitized loans amortize, First USA Bank's funding requirements
increase accordingly.  The Company plans to fund the amortization of
securitizations in the future through securitization of additional loans,
issuance of bank and deposit notes, acceptance of additional deposits and the
use of other bank liabilities.

  The Company had $1.9 billion in bank notes outstanding at September 30, 1996
and June 30, 1996.  At September 30, 1996, bank notes had average maturities of
1.8 years and an average cost of 5.95%.  In addition, the Company had
approximately $1.2 billion and $1.0 billion of term federal funds purchased at
September 30, 1996 and June 30, 1996, respectively.  The average maturities of
the term federal funds purchased were four months at September 30, 1996 with an
average cost of 5.69%.

June 30, 1996.  At September 30, 1996, interest-bearing deposits had an average
cost of 5.77%.  Interest-bearing deposits of less than $100,000 were issued by
Financial Services.  The maturity distribution for interest-bearing deposits is

  In December 1995, First USA Financial, Inc. entered into a $300 million, five-
year, unsecured revolving credit facility with a bank syndicate.  The credit
facility bears interest based on LIBOR plus 0.25%  to 0.65% and commitment fees
ranging from 0.125% to 0.25% on the unused portion based on First USA Financial,
Inc.'s debt to capitalization ratio.  The revolving credit facility provides a
source of additional liquidity to manage cash flow, provide capital to
subsidiaries for expansion and for other corporate uses.  At September 30, 1996,
borrowings under the credit facility were $32.0 million and the applicable rates
were 5.69% and 0.125%, respectively.

  At September 30, 1996, the Company had interest rate swap agreements with
commercial banks having a total notional principal amount of $2.2 billion.  The
Company enters into interest rate swap agreements to convert fixed rate
liabilities to floating rate liabilities as an efficient alternative to issuing
floating rate funding sources.

  The Company implemented a Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan (the
"DRIP Plan") in December 1995, pursuant to which participants may purchase
shares of the Company's common stock by automatically reinvesting quarterly cash
dividends or by making optional cash investments, and pursuant to which
participants may also sell or otherwise dispose of common stock acquired under
the DRIP Plan.  As of September 30, 1996, approximately 388,000 shares of common
stock had been issued by the Company pursuant to the DRIP Plan, which generated
net proceeds of approximately $21.3 million.  From the inception of the DRIP
Plan through September 30, 1996, in excess of 90% of such 

                                       16

FUNDING AND LIQUIDITY -- CONTINUED

common stock purchases were made by financial intermediaries, who may have
resold such shares of common stock shortly before or after acquiring them
(including coverage of short positions).  The Company has not extended to any
such purchasers any rights or privileges other than those to which they would
otherwise be entitled as participants or prospective participants in the DRIP
Plan, nor has the Company entered into any agreements with any such persons
regarding their purchases of such shares or any resales or distributions
thereof.

INVESTMENTS

  The Company's investments, which totaled $3.2 billion and $2.9 billion at
September 30, 1996 and June 30, 1996, respectively, consist primarily of
variable rate U.S. government agency mortgage-backed securities which enhance
yield and provide a source of secondary liquidity through repurchase agreements
and are primarily classified as held-to-maturity.  The average maturity based on
historical payment rates of the investment portfolio at September 30, 1996 was
approximately 6.5 years.

  The following table presents maturities of the investment portfolio at
September 30, 1996 and reflects scheduled payments and expected prepayments
based on historical payment rates.

  First USA Bank's stockholder's equity increased from $860.6 million at June
30, 1996 to $921.6 million at September 30, 1996, primarily as a result of

Deposit Insurance Corporation. At September 30, 1996, First USA Bank's risk-
based total capital ratio was 24.55%, its tier 1 capital ratio was 19.92%, and

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION


ITEM 1.   LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

  First USA Bank and Richard Vague were named defendants in a class action
lawsuit filed on December 19, 1995 in the United States District Court for the
Northern District of California. In this action, plaintiff contends that she and
all others similarly situated are entitled to damages and injunctive relief for
alleged violations of the Trust in Lending Act and the California Business and
Professions Code and for alleged breach of contract, fraud and deceit and
negligent misrepresentation. Plaintiff claims that a solicitation by First USA
Bank inviting the plaintiff to apply for a credit card account did not disclose
that the introductory rate was variable and subject to change, and that contrary
to the terms of the cardmember agreement, First USA Bank increased the rate on
plaintiff's acccount prior to the end of the introductory period. First USA Bank
moved to change the venue of the lawsuit to Delaware, dismiss Richard Vague in
his personal capacity and dismiss the Truth in Lending Act claim. Such motions
were denied. Plaintiff's motion for an injunction was also denied. Discovery on
the merits has begun in the lawsuit. While it is impossible to predict the
outcome of such lawsuit, First USA Bank believes that such lawsuit will not have
a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position of the Company.
