consolidated financial statements have been restated to give effect to this
merger. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 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

OPERATING RESULTS
Consolidated income before cumulative effect of changes in accounting
principles was $12,438,000 or $.88 per share for the first quarter 1994, an
increase of 36.9% and 39.7%, respectively, over the $9,087,000 or $.63 per
share earned in the same period a year ago.
Consolidated net income for the first quarter of 1994 increased 15.7% to
$12,438,000 from $10,746,000 a year ago, while earnings per share increased
17.3% to $.88 from $.75 in the first quarter of 1993. The Company adopted new
accounting principles with respect to post-retirement benefits and income taxes
in the first quarter of 1993, resulting in a benefit of $1,659,000 or $.12 per
share. The earnings of the first quarter of 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 Inc. on January 14, 1994, which has been accounted for as a pooling of
interests.
The Company's first-quarter earnings relative to the same period a year ago
reflect a $3,709,000 (9.0%) increase in interest income, a $1,075,000 (78.8%)
decrease in the provision for loan losses, a $630,000 (4.0%) increase in other
operating income, a $6,448,000 (17.9%) increase in other operating expenses
(excluding the aforementioned expense relating to the early extinguishment of
debt) and a $1,637,000 (37.7%) increase in income tax expense.
The annualized return on average assets for the first three months of 1994 was
.95%, resulting in a return on average common shareholders' equity of 16.0%,
compared to 1.07% and 16.2%, respectively, for the first three months of 1993.
NET INTEREST INCOME AND INTEREST RATE SPREADS
Net interest income for the first quarter of 1994, adjusted to a fully
taxable-equivalent basis, increased 9.2% to $45,845,000 compared to $41,977,000
for the first quarter of 1993. Net interest margin was 3.79% compared to 4.58%
for the first quarter of 1993.
The yield on average earning assets decreased 100 basis points during the first
quarter of 1994 as compared to the first quarter of 1993, and the average rate
paid this quarter on interest-bearing funds decreased 30 basis points from the
first quarter of 1993. The spread on average interest-bearing funds for the
first quarter of 1994 was 3.30%, down from the 4.00% for the first quarter of
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. The cost to the Company of the use of such off-balance sheet
arrangements for the first quarter of 1994 was $12,000 compared to $217,000 for
the first quarter of 1993.
The increased level of taxable-equivalent net interest income in the first
quarter of 1994, compared to the same period in 1993, was influenced primarily
by a 32.1% 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 more than
rates paid on interest-bearing funds.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES
The provision for loan losses decreased 78.8% to $290,000 for the first quarter
of 1994, as compared with $1,365,000 for the first quarter of 1993. Net
charge-offs for the quarter were $767,000 or .03% of average net loans and
leases, compared to $676,000 or .03% of average net loans and leases for the
first quarter of 1993.
OTHER OPERATING INCOME
Other operating income for the first quarter of 1994 totaled $16,396,000, an
increase of 4.0% from the $15,766,000 for the first quarter of 1993. Comparing
the segments of other operating income for the first quarter of 1994 with the
first quarter of 1993, service charges on deposit accounts, other service
charges, commissions and fees, and loan sales and servicing income increased
6.0%, 19.1% and 18.9%, respectively, while trust income decreased 2.7% and
other income decreased 12.3%. Trading account income and loan sales income
were adversely affected by mark-to-market adjustments on trading securities and
mortgages held for sale as a result of rising interest rates during the first
quarter of 1994, and the sale of investment securities in the first quarter of
1994 resulted in net losses compared to small net gains in the first quarter of
1993.
OTHER OPERATING EXPENSES
Other operating expenses for the first quarter of 1994, totaling $42,491,000,
increased 17.9% from the $36,043,000 for the first quarter of 1993, excluding
the one-time expense of $6,022,000 related to the early extinguishment of debt.
Comparing the operating expense segments for the first quarter of 1994 and the
first quarter of 1993, salaries and employee benefits increased 21.4%,
occupancy, furniture and equipment expenses increased 18.5%, other real estate
expense increased 1.4% and the total of all other expenses increased 12.8%.
The increase in salaries and employee benefits resulted primarily from
increased staffing in investment and mortgage origination and servicing
activities, general salary increases, bonuses and commission costs. The
increase in occupancy, furniture and equipment expenses resulted primarily from
the expansion of the ATM network, and the installation of personal computers
and local area networks during 1993. The increase in all other expenses
resulted primarily from increases in legal and professional services, postage
and telecommunications related to acquisitions and expansion.
INCOME TAXES
The Company's income taxes increased 37.7% to $5,978,000 for the first quarter
of 1994 compared to $4,341,000 for the first quarter of 1993, primarily due to
the 37.1% increase in before-tax income. The Company's effective tax rate
increased slightly to 32.5% for the first quarter of 1994 from 32.3% for the
first quarter of 1993.

Average money market investments, consisting of interest-bearing deposits,
federal funds sold and security resell agreements, and other money market
investments, increased 77.4% to $997.8 million compared to $562.5 million in
the first three months of 1993.

1993, representing 51.1% of earning assets in the first quarter of 1994
compared to 57.2% in the first quarter of 1993.
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 March 31,
1994 and December 31, 1993.

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.

Included in the allowance for loan losses is an amount for unused loan
commitments and standby letters of credit which at March 31, 1994 and 1993 and
at December 31, 1993, amounted to $3,135,000, $4,842,000 and $1,972,000,
respectively. Unused loan commitments and standby letters of credit, at March
31, 1994 and 1993 and at December 31, 1993, amounted to $1,042 million, $951
million and $1,106 million, respectively.
DEPOSITS
Average total deposits of $3,419.3 million for the first three months of 1994
increased 11.2% over the $3,074.6 for the first three months of 1993, with
average demand deposits increasing 24.4%. Average savings and money market
deposits, time deposits over $100,000 and foreign deposits for the first three
months of 1994 increased 13.3%, 8.9% and 46.8% respectively, from the first
three months of 1993. Average time deposits under $100,000, decreased 12.1%,
during the first three months of 1994, compared with the same period one year
earlier.
Total deposits increased 1.8% to $3,493.5 million at March 31, 1994, compared
to $3,432.3 million at December 31, 1993. Comparing March 31, 1994 to December
31, 1993, savings and money market deposit accounts, time deposits over
$100,000 and foreign deposits increased 5.7%, 12.5% and 15.2%, respectively,
while demand deposits decreased 5.4% and time deposits under $100,000 decreased
3.5%.
LIQUIDITY AND INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY
Average net loans and leases were 73.3% of average total deposits for the three
months ended March 31, 1994 compared to 69.1% for the three months ended March
31, 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 $1,198.6 million or 36.1% of core deposits at March 31, 1994.
The Company's core deposits, consisting of demand, savings and money market
deposits and time deposits under $100,000, constituted 95.1% of total deposits
at March 31, 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 share of income taxes.
CAPITAL RESOURCES AND DIVIDENDS
Total shareholders' equity at March 31, 1994 was $318.7 million, an increase of
2.0% over the $312.6 million at December 31, 1993, and an increase of 16.4%
over the $273.7 million at March 31, 1993. The ratio of average equity to
average assets for the first three months of 1994 was 5.92%, compared to 6.62%,
for the same period in 1993. At March 31, 1994, the Company's Tier I
risk-based capital ratio was 10.84%, compared to 10.85% at December 31, 1993
and 10.63% at March 31, 1993. At March 31, 1994 the Company's total risk-based
capital ratio was 14.05%, compared to 14.12% at December 31, 1993 and 15.07% at
March 31, 1993. The Company's leverage ratio as of March 31, 1994 was 5.58%,
compared to 5.44% at December 31, 1993 and 6.47% at March 31, 1993.
Dividends declared per common share for the first quarter of 1994 of $.28
increased 33.3% compared to $.21 for the first quarter of 1993. The cash
dividend payout to net income applicable to common shares for the first three
months of 1994 was 35.9%, compared to 28.6% for the first three months of 1993.
MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS
On January 14, 1994, the pooling-of-interests merger transaction of Zions
Bancorporation and National Bancorp of Arizona Inc. and it's wholly owned
subsidiary, National Bank of Arizona, was consummated. The transaction enabled
the Company to merge Zions First National Bank of Arizona with National Bank of
Arizona producing an organization with $580 million in assets at quarter end,
and offices in Tucson, Phoenix, Scottsdale, Mesa and Flagstaff, Arizona.
Also during the first quarter of 1994, Zions Bancorporation received regulatory
and shareholders approvals to acquire Rio Salado Bancorp and it's wholly owned
subsidiary, Rio Salado Bank. The acquisition was completed at the close of
business, April 29, 1994 at a purchase price of $12.5 million, to be paid
through the exchange of Zions Bancorporation common stock for Rio Salado
Bancorp stock. The purchase transaction enables the Company to merge Rio
Salado Bank into Zions Bancorporation's wholly owned subsidiary, National Bank
of Arizona, and will result in an organization with approximately $700 million
in assets.
