NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)



Basis of Presentation

The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation
S-X.

Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required
by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  The
consolidated financial statements give effect to the merger of Zions
Bancorporation and National Bancorp of Arizona Inc. (NBA) on January 14, 1994,
which has been accounted for as a pooling of interests, and amounts in the 1993
consolidated financial statements have been restated to give effect to this
merger.  Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 1994 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended
December 31, 1994.  For further information, refer to the consolidated
financial statements and footnotes thereto included in Zions Bancorporation's
Annual Report to Shareholders on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
1993.

OPERATING RESULTS

Consolidated net income for the second quarter of 1994 was $16,418,000 or $1.11
per share compared to $16,636,000 or $1.17 per share for the second quarter of
1993 and $12,438,000 or $.88 per share for the first quarter of 1994.

Consolidated net income was $28,856,000 or $1.99 per share for the first six
months of 1994, compared to $27,382,000 or $1.92 per share for the first six
months of 1993, which constituted increases of 5.4% and 3.6%, respectively.
Earnings results for the first six months of 1993 were positively affected in
the net amount of $1,659,000 or $.12 per share due to the cumulative effect of
changes in accounting principles implemented during the first quarter of 1993.
The Company's earnings for the six months ended June 30, 1993, however, were
also negatively affected by a one-time expense of $6,022,000 included in other
operating expenses related to early extinguishment of certain long-term debt.
Amounts in the 1993 consolidated financial statements have been restated to
give effect to the merger of Zions Bancorporation and National Bancorp of
Arizona, on January 14, 1994, which has been accounted for as a pooling of
interests.

The Company's second-quarter $218,000 decrease in earnings relative to the same
period a year ago reflect a $3,928,000 (8.8%) increase in net interest income,
a $59,000 (14.5%) increase in the provision for loan losses, a $906,000 (4.7%)
decrease in other operating income, a $2,949,000 (7.6%) increase in other
operating expenses and a $232,000 (2.9%) increase in income tax expense.

The $643,000 decrease in net income for the six-month period ended June 30,
1994, compared to the similar period in 1993 (excluding the aforementioned
expense relating to the early extinguishment of debt and the net benefit
resulting from the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles),
reflect a $7,637,000 (8.9%) increase in net interest income, a $1,016,000
(57.3%) decrease in the provision for loan losses, a $276,000 (.8%) decrease in
other operating income, a $9,397,000 (12.5%) increase in other operating
expenses and a $377,000 (2.6%) decrease in income tax expense.

The annualized return on average assets for the second quarter and for the
first six months of 1994 was 1.18% and 1.07%, respectively, resulting in an
annualized return on average common shareholders' equity for the same periods
of 19.4% and 17.8%.

NET INTEREST INCOME AND INTEREST RATE SPREADS

Net interest income for the second quarter of 1994, adjusted to a fully
taxable-equivalent basis, increased 9.2% from the second quarter of 1993, and
increased 9.0% from the first quarter of 1994.  Net interest margin was 3.92%,
compared to 4.68% for the second quarter of 1993, and 3.79% for the first
quarter of 1994.  Six-month net interest income, on a fully taxable-equivalent
basis, was $95,833,000 in 1994, an increase of 9.2% compared to the first six
months of 1993.  Net interest margin for the first six months of 1994 was
3.86%, compared to 4.63% for the first six months of 1993.

The yield on average earning assets decreased 45 basis points during the second
quarter of 1994 as compared to the second quarter of 1993, but increased 44
basis points from the first quarter of 1994.  The average rate paid this
quarter on interest-bearing funds increased 29 basis points from the second
quarter of 1993, and increased 38 basis points from the first quarter of 1994.
Comparing the first six months of 1994 with 1993, the yield on average earning
assets decreased 73 basis points, while the cost of interest-bearing funds
increased by 1 basis point.

The spread on average interest-bearing funds for the second quarter of 1994 was
3.36%, down from the 4.10% for the second quarter of 1993 but up from the 3.30%
for the first quarter of 1994.  The spread on average interest-bearing funds
for the first six months of 1994 was 3.32% compared with 4.06% for the same
period in 1993,

The Company attempts to minimize interest rate movement sensitivity through the
management of interest rate maturities and the use of off-balance sheet
arrangements such as caps, floors and interest rate exchange contract
agreements.  Net interest income to the Company from the use of such
off-balance sheet arrangements for the first six months of 1994 was $18,000
compared to $500,000 for the first six months of 1993.  Net interest margin is
also affected by the Company's maintenance of a strong liquidity position.

The increased level of taxable-equivalent net interest income in the first six
months of 1994, compared to the same period in 1993, was influenced primarily
by a 31.1% increase in average earning assets.  The decrease in net interest
margin resulted primarily from increased borrowings related to increased
trading activity, and the effect of rates on earning assets declining while
rates paid on interest-bearing funds increased slightly.

$290,000 for the first quarter of 1994.  Net charge-offs for the second quarter
of 1994 were $778,000 or .03% of average net loans and leases, compared to net
recoveries of $6,152,000 or (.28)% of average loans and leases for the second
quarter of 1993, and net charge-offs of $767,000 or .03% of average loans and
leases for the first quarter of 1994.  The provision for loan losses for the

the first six months of 1993.  Net charge-offs for the first six months of 1994
were $1,545,000 or .06% of average net loans and leases, compared to net
recoveries of $5,476,000 for the first six months of 1993 or (.25)% of average
net loans and leases.

16.8% and 27.9%, respectively, while service charges on deposit accounts, trust
income, loan sales and servicing income, and other income decreased 5.1%, 5.0%,
5.8% and 46.1%, respectively, and sales of investment securities resulted in

commission costs.  The

LOANS

The Company has structured its organization to separate the lending function
from the credit administration function to strengthen the control and
independent evaluation of credit activities.  Loan policies and procedures
provide the Company with a framework for consistent underwriting and a basis
for sound credit decisions.  In addition, the Company has well-defined
standards for grading its loan portfolio, and management utilizes the
comprehensive loan grading system to determine risk potential in the portfolio.
Another aspect of the Company's credit risk management strategy is the
diversification of the loan portfolio.  The Company has a well-diversified loan
portfolio with no significant exposure to highly leveraged transactions and has
no foreign credits in its loan portfolio.

The table below sets forth the amount of loans outstanding by type at June 30,

RISK ELEMENTS

The Company's nonperforming assets, which include nonaccruing loans,
restructured loans and other real estate owned and other nonperforming assets,
were $21,658,000 at June 30, 1994, down 35.1% from $33,379,000 at June 30,
1993, and down 29.3% from $30,637,000 at December 31, 1993.  Such nonperforming
assets as a percentage of net loans and leases and other real estate owned and
other nonperforming assets were .81%, 1.52% and 1.23% at June 30, 1994, June
30, 1993, and December 31, 1993, respectively.

Accruing loans past due 90 days or more totaled $1,910,000 at June 30, 1994, up
14.1% from $1,674,000 at June 30, 1993, and down 82.3% from $10,821,000 at
December 31, 1993.

One loan in the amount of $2,986,000 at June 30, 1994 was considered a
potential problem loan compared to no loans at June 30, 1993 and two loans
totaling $1,114,000 at December 31, 1993.  Potential problem loans are defined
as loans presently current by their terms, but about which management has
serious doubt as to the future ability of the borrower to comply with present
repayment terms and which may result in the reporting of the loans as
nonperforming assets.

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

In analyzing the adequacy of the allowance for loan and lease losses,
management utilizes a comprehensive loan grading system to determine risk
potential in the portfolio, and considers the results of independent internal
and external credit review, historical charge-off experience, and changes in
the composition and volume of the portfolio.  Other factors, such as general
economic conditions and collateral values, are also considered.  Larger problem
credits are individually evaluated to determine appropriate reserve
allocations.  Additions to the allowance are based upon the resulting risk
profile of the portfolio developed through the evaluation of the above factors.

The following table shows the changes in the allowance for loan losses and a
summary of loan loss experience.

The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of net loans and leases was 2.59%
at June 30, 1994, compared to 3.08% at June 30, 1993 and 2.75% at December 31,
1993.  The allowance, as a percentage of nonaccrual loans and accruing loans
past due 90 days or more was 395.7% at June 30, 1994, compared to 236.1% at
June 30, 1993 and 200.3% at December 31, 1993.  The allowance, as a percentage
of nonaccrual loans and restructured loans was 412.3% at June 30, 1994,
compared to 240.5% at June 30, 1993 and 250.1% at December 31, 1993.

Included in the allowance for loan losses is an amount for unused loan
commitments and standby letters of credit which at June 30, 1994 and 1993, and
at December 31, 1993, amounted to $3,961,000, $4,134,000 and $1,972,000,
respectively.  Unused loan commitments and standby letters of credit, at June
30, 1994 and 1993, and at December 31, 1993, amounted to $1,150.8 million,
$982.5 million and $1,106 million, respectively.

DEPOSITS

Average total deposits of $3,526.4 million for the first six months of 1994
increased 13.1% over the $3,117.7 million for the first six months of 1993,
with average demand deposits increasing 21.5%.  Average savings and money
market deposits, time deposits over $100,000 and foreign deposits for the first
six months of 1994 increased 15.0%, 20.3% and 70.9%, respectively, from the
first six months of 1993.  Average time deposits under $100,000, decreased 9.0%
during the first six months of 1994, compared with the same period one year
earlier.

Total deposits increased 4.9% to $3,599.2 million compared to $3,432.3 million
at December 31, 1993.  Comparing June 30, 1994 to December 31, 1993, savings
and money market deposits, time deposits over $100,000 and foreign deposits
increased 9.7%, 35.1% and 11.1%, respectively, while demand deposits decreased
3.9% and time deposits under $100,000 decreased 3.1%.

LIQUIDITY AND INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY

Average net loans and leases were 72.4% of average total deposits for the six
months ended June 30, 1994 compared to 69.9% for the six months ended June 30,
1993.  Liquidity is primarily provided by the regularly scheduled maturities of
the Company's investment and loan portfolios.  In addition, the Company's
liquidity is enhanced by the fact that cash, money market securities and liquid
investments, net of "short-term purchased" liabilities and wholesale deposits,
totaled $1,116.1 million or 32.7% of core deposits at June 30, 1994.

The Company's core deposits, consisting of demand, savings and money market
deposits and time deposits under $100,000, constituted 94.9% of total deposits
at June 30, 1994 compared to 95.6% at December 31, 1993.

Maturing balances in loan portfolios provide flexibility in managing cash
flows.  Maturity management of those funds is an important source of medium-to
long-term liquidity.  The Company's ability to raise funds in the capital
markets through the "securitization" process and by debt issuances allows the
Company to take advantage of market opportunities to meet funding needs at
reasonable cost.  The Company manages its liquidity position in order to assure
its ability to meet maturing obligations.

ZIONS BANCORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

The Company, through the management of interest rate "maturities" and the use
of off-balance sheet arrangements such as interest rate caps, floors, and
interest rate exchange contract agreements, attempts to structure portfolios in
such a way as to minimize the effects of fluctuating interest rate levels on
net interest income.

Considering Zions Bancorporation independent from its subsidiaries (Parent
Company), the Parent Company's cash requirements consist primarily of principal
and interest payments on its borrowings, dividend payments to shareholders, and
cash operating expenses and income taxes.  The Parent Company's cash needs are
routinely satisfied through payments by subsidiaries of dividends, management
and other fees, principal and interest payments on subsidiary borrowings from
the parent Company, and proportionate shares of income taxes.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND DIVIDENDS

Total shareholders' equity at June 30, 1994 was $341.8 million, an increase of
9.3% over the $312.6 million at December 31, 1993, and an increase of 18.7%
over the $288.0 million at June 30, 1993.  The ratio of average equity to
average assets for the first six months of 1994 was 6.00%, compared to 6.61%
for the same period in 1993.  At June 30, 1994, the  Company's Tier I
risk-based capital ratio was 10.61%, compared to 10.85% at December 31, 1993
and 11.01% at June 30, 1993.  At June 30, 1994, the Company's total risk-based
capital ratio was 13.69%, compared to 14.12% at December 31, 1993 and 14.47% at
June 30, 1993.  The Company's leverage ratio as of June 30, 1994 was 5.62%,
compared to 5.44% at December 31, 1993 and 6.33% at June 30, 1993.

Dividends declared per common share for the second quarter of 1994 of $.28
increased 33.3% compared to $.21 for the second quarter of 1993.  Dividends
declared per common share of $.56 for the first six months of 1994 increased
33.3% compared to $.42 for the first six months of 1993.  The cash dividend
payout to net income applicable to common shares for the first six months of
1994 was 29.6%, compared to 20.7% for the first six months of 1993.

MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS

At the close of business, April 29, 1994, the purchase transaction of Zions
Bancorporation and Rio Salado Bancorp and it's wholly owned subsidiary, Rio
Salado Bank, was consummated at a purchase price of $12.5 million, paid through
the exchange of Zions Bancorporation common stock for Rio Salado Bancorp stock.
Rio Salado Bank was merged into Zions Bancorporation's wholly owned subsidiary,
National Bank of Arizona, resulting in an organization with approximately $700
million in assets.
