PART I

ITEM 1.      BUSINESS

Zions Bancorporation (the Parent) is a multibank holding company organized
under the laws of Utah in 1955, registered under the Bank Holding Company Act
of 1956, as amended.  Zions Bancorporation and its subsidiaries (the Company),
is the second largest bank holding company headquartered in Utah and provides a
full range of banking and related services primarily in Utah, Nevada, and
Arizona.  Its principal subsidiaries are banking subsidiaries which include
Zions First National Bank, the second largest commercial banking organization
in the state of Utah, Nevada State Bank, the sixth largest bank in Nevada and
Zions First National Bank of Arizona in Arizona.

The Company's business and the businesses of many of its larger borrowers are
primarily concentrated in the state of Utah.  Consequently, the Company's
results of operations and financial condition are dependent upon general trends
in the Utah economy and real estate markets.

The Company has focused in recent years on maintaining strong liquidity,
risk-based capital and cash flow positions and on developing strong internal
controls.  An increasing focus is currently being placed on strengthening the
Company's retail and consumer banking businesses, as well as its small- and
medium-sized business lending, residential mortgage and investment activities,
and increasing the proportion of fee income in its total revenue mix.  The
Company's general operating objectives include enhancing the Company's market
position in Utah, Nevada, and Arizona through in-market acquisitions of smaller
depository institutions, and through the contained development of the Company's
present lines of business.

At December 31, 1993, the Company had assets of $4.3 billion, loans of $2.2
billion, deposits of $3.0 billion, and shareholders' equity of $.3 billion.  A
more detailed discussion concerning the Company's financial condition is
contained in Part II of this report.

THE BANKING SUBSIDIARIES

The Banks provide a wide variety of commercial and retail banking and
mortgage-lending financial services.  Commercial loans, lease financing, cash
management, lockbox, customized draft processing, and other special financial
services are provided for business and other commercial banking customers.  A
wide range of personal banking services are provided to individuals, including
bankcard, student and other installment loans and home equity credit line
loans, checking accounts, savings accounts, time certificates of various types
and maturities, trust services and safe deposit facilities.  In addition,
direct deposit of payroll, social security and various other government checks
is offered.  Automated teller machines provide 24-hour access and availability
to customers' accounts and to many consumer banking services through statewide,
regional, and nationwide ATM networks.

Zions First National Bank in Utah has developed special packages of financial
services designed to meet the financial needs of particular market niches,
including the Premier Account for those 50 years and older and the Student
Account.  The Bank has also established a Private Banking group to service the
financial needs of wealthy individuals; an Executive Banking program to service
the needs of corporate executives of commercial clients, and an Affinity
program which offers discounted financial services to employees of commercial
accounts on a group basis.

Both Zions First National Bank and Nevada State Bank have established trust
divisions which offer clients a variety of fiduciary services ranging from the
administration of estates and trusts to the management of funds held under
pension and profit sharings plans.  They also offer custodian, portfolio, and
management services.  The Trust Division of Zions First National Bank also acts
as fiscal and payment agent, transfer agent, registrar, and trustee under
corporate and trust indentures for corporations, governmental bodies, and
public authorities.

Zions First National Bank is a registered dealer in, and underwriter of,
general obligations of state and municipal governments, and a primary dealer in
obligations of the United States government and federal agencies.  Zions First
National Bank also provides correspondent banking services such as cash letter
processing, wire services, federal funds facilities, and loan participations.





                                       1

Zions First National Bank's International Banking Department issues letters of
credit and handles foreign exchange transactions for customers, but it does not
take a trading position in foreign exchange.  Zions First National Bank's Grand
Cayman branch accepts Eurodollar deposits from qualified customers, and places
deposits with foreign banks and foreign branches of other U.S. banks.  Zions'
banking subsidiaries, however, do not engage in any foreign lending.

The Company's commercial banking operations generated net income of $59,932,000
in 1993, a 29.0% increase over the $46,474,000 produced in 1992 and $31,672,000
in 1991.  A continuing decline in interest rate levels during 1993, combined
with a strong regional economy and the introduction of new credit products,
produced a strong loan demand in the Company's commercial banking operations
during the year.  While average net loans and leases on the commercial banks'
balance sheet increased a modest 2.5% to $1,995,728,000 an additional
$589,000,000 in consumer and small business loans (excluding long-term
residential mortgage loans) were securitized during 1993, in addition to
$159,000,000 in loans securitized in December 1992.  A significant increase in
lending activity was fueled by the introduction of the Home Refinance Loan - a
fully amortizing seven or ten-year mortgage - in March 1993.  The product,
which was highly successful and imitated by a number of competitors, produced
nearly $400 million in loan originations in Utah, Nevada, Arizona, and Idaho.
The Company's commitment to small business lending was also evident in 1993 as
Zions First National Bank was recognized as "Participating Bank of the Year" by
the Utah Technology Finance Corporation for making more quality loans than any
other financial institution to high-technology companies.  Zions First National
Bank was also recognized as the largest originator of loans under the U.S.
Small Business Administration's 7A and 504 programs in Utah during 1993.

Cash generated from the securitization of loans and growth in the banks'
deposit base was primarily invested in liquid securities during 1993.  Taxable
investment securities increased 24.3% to $893,453,000, while tax-exempt
securities averaged $120,631,000, a 14.8% increase over the prior year's level.
Federal funds sold and securities purchased under agreements to resell
increased 168.2% to $645,218,000 in 1993, while interest-bearing deposits held
at other institutions decreased 43.5% to $103,867,000.  Average assets in
trading accounts increased 178.6% to $102,840,000.

Total average core deposits increased 8.0% in 1993 to $2,720,828,000.
Noninterest bearing demand deposits increased 25.9% to $610,292,000; savings
and money market deposits increased 12.7% to $1,595,446,000; and certificates
of deposit under $100,000 decreased 16.9% to $515,090,000.  Activity in federal
funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase increased
92.1% in 1993 to $775,386,000, primarily as a result of the purchase of
Discount Corporation of New York.  Borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank
system also increased 39.8% to support a higher volume of real estate lending
during the year.

Aggressive installation of ATM's continued during the year, particularly in
nonbranch locations.  At year end, the number of ATM's in service totaled 175,
which included installations at branch offices, stores, shopping centers,
airports, university campuses, and U.S. Postal Service facilities in rural Utah
communities.

Utah

Zions First National Bank, founded in 1873, has 84 offices located throughout
the state of Utah, plus one foreign office, for a total of 85 banking offices.
Zions First National Bank's net income in 1993 was $52,867,000, a 28.2%
increase over the $41,241,000 earned in the previous year.  This increase was
the result of a $32,702,000 growth in revenues, a $25,176,000 increase in
expenses, and a $7,474,000 decrease in the provision for loan and lease losses.
Zions First National Bank's income tax provision increased $4,809,000.  The
implementation during 1993 of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) No. 106 and SFAS No. 109, relating to accounting for post-retirement
benefits and income taxes, respectively, generated a combined cumulative
benefit of $1,435,000.

In August 1993, Zions First National Bank completed the acquisition of Discount
Corporation of New York, a primary dealer in U.S.  government securities.
Discount Corporation operates as a division of Zions First National Bank, and
has retained its sales and trading office at 58 Pine Street in New York City.
The acquisition significantly augments Zions Bank's existing institutional
investment sales business, and increases its institutional securities sales
capabilities, becoming one of 39 primary dealers of U.S.  government
securities, and a member of the selling groups of four agencies of the U.S.
government.  The transaction establishes Zions Bank as a leader in
institutional sales and trading in the Intermountain West, and one of only two
primary dealers in government securities headquartered in the western United
States.





                                       2
<PAGE>   5
During the third quarter, Zions First National Bank also acquired a 25%
interest in Bennington Capital Management, an investment advisory firm located
in Seattle, Washington, which sponsors the AccessorTM family of mutual funds.
The acquisition should enable the Company to more fully participate in
capturing the value generated through the sale of mutual funds to its'
customers.

In October, the merger transaction of Zions Bancorporation and Wasatch Bancorp
strengthened Zions Bank's presence in the northern half of fast-growing Utah
County, Utah, by adding $75 million in assets and the addition of banking
offices operated by Wasatch Bancorp's banking subsidiary, Wasatch Bank.  Zions
Bank additionally added a new full-service branch in Draper, Utah, a grocery
store banking center in South Jordan, Utah, and completed construction of a new
25,000 square foot regional financial center in St.  George, Utah, during 1993.

Nevada

Nevada State Bank, a state-chartered Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
("FDIC")-insured institution, with its main office in downtown Las Vegas,
opened a new grocery store banking center in Henderson, Nevada, during the
year, expanding its retail banking offices to 19 in Nevada.  Nevada State Bank
achieved net income, after the amortization of purchased premium, of $4,691,000
in 1993-an increase of 16.1% over the $4,042,000 earned in 1992.  The bank's
revenues increased $2,055,000 while operating expenses rose $1,586,000.  The
provision for loan losses decreased $305,000 and the provision for income taxes
increased $478,000.  The net effect of the implementation of SFAS No. 106 and
SFAS No. 109 was a benefit of $353,000.

Arizona

Zions First National Bank of Arizona at December 31, 1993 had three offices in
the metropolitan Phoenix, Arizona, area.  Zions First National Bank of Arizona
experienced a strong increase in net income, net of the amortization of
purchase premium, as earnings rose 99.3% to $2,374,000 from $1,191,000 in 1992.
Revenues increased $547,000 while operating expenses decreased $32,000.  The
provision for loan losses decreased $175,000 and the provision for income taxes
increased $65,000.  The net effect of the implementation of SFAS No. 106 and
SFAS No. 109 was a benefit in the amount of $494,000.

In August, Zions announced an agreement to acquire National Bancorp of Arizona,
a $435 million organization headquartered in Tucson; and in October, an
agreement was reached to acquire Rio Salado Bancorp, a $107 million banking
company in Tempe, Arizona.  These organizations bring talented employees and
well-established reputations to our business in Arizona.  The National Bancorp
of Arizona transaction was consummated shortly after year-end 1993, and it is
anticipated that the Rio Salado Bancorp acquisition will be completed in the
second quarter of 1994.  When combined with existing Arizona operations, the
resulting organization, which will operate under the National Bank of Arizona
name and with that bank's existing management, will have total assets of nearly
$630 million, with offices in metropolitan Phoenix, Tucson, and Flagstaff,
making it approximately the sixth largest commercial banking organization in
Arizona.

OTHER SUBSIDIARIES

The Company conducts various other bank-related business activities through
subsidiaries owned by the Parent and wholly-owned subsidiaries of Zions First
National Bank. Zions Credit Corporation engages in lease origination and
servicing operations in Utah, Nevada, and Arizona.  Zions Life Insurance
Company underwrites as reinsurer credit-related life and disability insurance.
Zions Insurance Agency, Inc., operates an insurance brokerage business which
administers various credit-related insurance programs in the Company's
subsidiaries and sells general lines of insurance.  The Company's insurance
subsidiaries offer customers a full range of insurance products through
licensed agents.  The products include credit life products, collateral
protection products, life policies, homeowners policies, property and casualty
policies, and commercial business owner type policies.  Zions Data Service
Company provides data processing services to all subsidiaries of the Company.

In October 1993, Zions Mortgage Company became a subsidiary of Zions First
National Bank as ownership was transferred to the Bank from the parent company.
Zions Mortgage Company conducts a mortgage banking operation in Utah, Nevada,
and Arizona.  In 1993, total loans serviced by Zions Mortgage Company increased
23.7% and $844 million in traditional residential mortgages were closed and
sold in the secondary market.  Zions Investment Securities, Inc., also a
subsidiary of the Bank, provides discount investment brokerage services on a
nonadvisory basis to both commercial and consumer customers.  Personal
investment officers employed by the discount brokerage subsidiary in many
larger offices provide customers with a wide range of investment products,
including municipal bonds, mutual funds, and tax-deferred annuities.

SUPERVISION AND REGULATION

Bank holding companies and banks are extensively regulated under both federal
and state law.  The information contained in this section summarizes portions
of the applicable laws and regulations relating to the supervision and
regulation of Zions Bancorporation and its subsidiaries.  These summaries do
not purport to be complete, and they are qualified in their entirety by
reference to the particular statutes and regulations described.  Any change in
applicable law or regulation may have a material effect on the business and
prospects of Zions Bancorporation and its subsidiaries.

Bank Holding Company Regulation

Zions Bancorporation is a bank holding company within the meaning of the Bank
Holding Company Act and is registered as such with the Federal Reserve Board.
Under the current terms of that Act, activities of Zions Bancorporation, and
those of companies which it controls or in which it holds more than 5% of the
voting stock, are limited to banking or managing or controlling banks or
furnishing services to or performing services for its subsidiaries, or any
other activity which the Federal Reserve Board determines to be so closely
related to banking or managing or controlling banks as to be a proper incident
thereto.  In making such determinations, the Federal Reserve Board is required
to consider whether the performance of such activities by a bank holding
company or its subsidiaries can reasonably be expected to produce benefits to
the public such as greater convenience, increased competition or gains in
efficiency that outweigh the possible adverse effects, such as undue
concentration of resources, decreased or unfair competition, conflicts of
interest or unsound banking practices.

Bank holding companies, such as Zions Bancorporation, are required to obtain
prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board to engage in any new activity or to
acquire more than 5% of any class of voting stock of any company.  Generally,
no application to acquire shares of a bank located outside that state in which
the operations of the applicant's banking subsidiaries were principally
conducted on the date it became subject to the Act may be approved by the
Federal Reserve Board unless such acquisition is specifically authorized by the
laws of the state in which the bank whose shares are to be acquired is located.
Various proposals are currently pending in the U.S. Congress to ease or
eliminate these limitations.  It is not possible to predict at the present time
whether any of these proposals will become law.  In the meantime, most states
have specifically authorized the acquisition of banks located in those states
by out-of-state companies, in many cases subject to various restrictions.

The Federal Reserve Board has authorized the acquisition and control by bank
holding companies of savings and loan associations and certain other savings
institutions without regard to geographic restrictions applicable to
acquisition shares of a bank.

The Federal Reserve Board is authorized to adopt regulations affecting various
aspects of bank holding companies.  Pursuant to the general supervisory
authority of the Bank Holding Company Act and directives set forth in the
International Lending Supervision Act of 1983, the Federal Reserve Board has
adopted capital adequacy guidelines prescribing both risk-based capital and
leverage ratios.

Regulatory Capital Requirements

Risk-Based Capital Guidelines

The Federal Reserve Board established risk-based capital guidelines for bank
holding companies effective March 15, 1989.  The guidelines define Tier I
Capital and Total Capital.  Tier I Capital consists of common and qualifying
preferred shareholders' equity and minority interests in equity accounts of
consolidated subsidiaries, less goodwill and 50% (and in some cases up to 100%)
of investment in unconsolidated subsidiaries.  Total Capital consists of Tier I
Capital plus qualifying mandatory convertible debt, perpetual debt, certain
hybrid capital instruments, certain preferred stock not qualifying as Tier I
Capital, subordinated and other qualifying term debt up to specified limits,
and a portion of the allowance for credit losses, less investments in
unconsolidated subsidiaries and in other designated subsidiaries or other
associated companies at the discretion of the Federal Reserve Board, certain
intangible assets, a portion of limited-life capital instruments approaching
maturity and reciprocal holdings of banking organizations' capital instruments.
The Tier I component must constitute at least 50% of qualifying Total Capital.





                                       4
<PAGE>   7
Risk-based capital ratios are calculated with reference to risk-weighted
assets, which include both on-balance sheet and off-balance sheet exposures.
The risk-based capital framework contains four risk-weighted categories for
bank holding company assets -- 0%, 20%, 50%, and 100%.  Zero percent
risk-weighted assets include, inter alia, cash and balances due from Federal
Reserve Banks, and obligations unconditionally guaranteed by the U.S.
government or its agencies.  Twenty percent risk-weighted assets include, inter
alia, claims on U.S. Banks and obligations guaranteed by U.S. government
sponsored agencies as well as general obligations of states or other political
subdivisions of the United States.  Fifty percent risk-weighted assets include,
inter alia, loans fully secured by first liens on one to-four-family
residential properties, subject to certain conditions.  All assets not included
in the foregoing categories are assigned to the 100% risk-weighted category,
including loans to commercial and other borrowers.  As of year-end 1992, the
minimum required ratio for qualifying Total Capital became 8%, of which at
least 4% must consist of Tier I Capital.  At December 31, 1993, the Company's
Tier I and Total Capital ratios were 11.01% and 14.34%, respectively.

The current risk-based capital ratio analysis establishes minimum supervisory
guidelines and standards.  It does not evaluate all factors affecting an
organization's financial condition.  Factors which are not evaluated include
(i) overall interest rate exposure; (ii) liquidity, funding, and market risks;
(iii) quality and level of earnings; (iv) investment or loan portfolio
concentrations; (v) quality of loans and investments; (vi) the effectiveness of
loan and investment policies; and (vii) management's overall ability to monitor
and control other financial and operating risks.  The capital adequacy
assessment of federal bank regulators will, however, continue to include
analyses of the foregoing considerations and in particular, the level and
severity of problem and classified assets.

Minimum Leverage Ratio

On June 20, 1990, the Federal Reserve Board adopted new capital standards and
leverage capital guidelines that include a minimum leverage ratio of 3% Tier I
Capital to total assets (the "leverage ratio").  The leverage ratio is used in
tandem with the final risk-based ratio of 8% that took effect at the end of
1992.

The Federal Reserve Board has emphasized that the leverage ratio constitutes a
minimum requirement for well-run banking organizations having well-diversified
risk, including no undue interest rate exposure, excellent asset quality, high
liquidity, good earnings, and a composite rating of 1 under the Interagency
Bank Rating System.  Banking organizations experiencing or anticipating
significant growth, as well as those organizations which do not exhibit the
characteristics of a strong, well-run banking organization described above,
will be required to maintain strong capital positions substantially above the
minimum supervisory levels without significant reliance on intangible assets.
Furthermore, the Federal Reserve Board has indicated that it will consider a
"tangible Tier I Capital Leverage Ratio" (deducting all intangibles) and other
indices of capital strength in evaluating proposals for expansion or new
activities.  At December 31, 1993, the Company's Tier I leverage ratio was
5.47%.

On December 21, 1993, the OCC, Federal Reserve Board and the FDIC (together,
the "Agencies") announced that they are or will be requesting public comment on
proposed amendments to the regulatory capital rules to explicitly include in
Tier I Capital net unrealized holding gains and losses on available-for-sale
securities.  Such unrealized gains and losses are currently reported as a
component of stockholders' equity following a bank's adoption of SFAS No. 115.
As of January 1, 1994, or the beginning of their first fiscal year thereafter,
if later, all banks must have adopted SFAS No. 115 for purposes of preparing
their Reports of Condition and Income (Call Reports).  During the comment
receipt and evaluation process, Tier I capital will be calculated as currently
defined.

Other Issues and Developments Relating to Regulatory Capital

Pursuant to such authority and directives set forth in the International
Lending Supervision Act of 1983, the Comptroller, the FDIC, and the Federal
Reserve Board have issued regulations establishing the capital requirements for
banks under federal law.  The regulations, which apply to Zions
Bancorporation's banking subsidiaries, establish minimum risk-based and
leverage ratios which are substantially similar to those applicable to the
Company.  As of December 31, 1993, the risk-based and leverage ratios of each
of Zions Bancorporation's banking subsidiaries exceeded the minimum
requirements.

On December 19, 1991, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act
of 1991 ("FDICIA") was signed into law.  FDICIA subjects banks to significantly
increased regulation and supervision.  Among other things, FDICIA requires
federal bank regulatory authorities to revise, prior to June 19, 1993, their
risk-based capital guidelines to ensure that those standards take account of
interest rate risk, concentrations of credit, and the risk of nontraditional
activities, as well as reflect the actual performance and risk of multifamily
mortgages.  On September 4, 1993, the federal banking agencies published in the
Federal Register a proposed measure of interest rate risk exposure which
measures such exposure as the effect that a specified change in market interest
rates would have on the net economic value of banks.  Under this proposal,
banks (excluding certain "low-risk" institutions as defined therein) would
calculate and report estimated changes in their net economic value resulting
from the effect of specified changes in market interest rates on their assets,
liabilities, and off-balance sheet positions, utilizing either a supervisory
model or approved internal models.  The proposal sets forth two alternative
methods for utilizing such results in assessing institutions' capital adequacy
for interest rate risk exposure.  One method would require institutions to hold
capital equal to the dollar decline in their net economic value exceeding a
supervisory threshold of one percent of total assets; the other method provides
for an agency assessment of measured interest rate risk exposure and
qualitative factors.  However, the proposal is still under consideration.  The
federal banking agencies have also proposed revisions to their risk-based
capital rules to ensure that risks arising from concentrations of credit and
nontraditional activities are taken into account when assessing an
institution's capital adequacy.  The proposal calls on institutions to take
account of such risks in assessing their capital adequacy rather than imposing
explicit capital requirements with respect to them.  Because the final terms of
the regulators' implementation of this requirement of FDICIA are not yet known,
Zions Bancorporation cannot predict the effect the inclusion of these risk
factors in the risk-based capital rules of the federal banking agencies will
have upon its capital requirements or those of its subsidiaries.

FDICIA amended Section 38 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act to require the
federal banking regulators to take "prompt corrective action" in respect of
banks that do not meet minimum capital requirements and imposes certain
restrictions upon banks which meet minimum capital requirements but are not
"well-capitalized" for purposes of FDICIA.  FDICIA establishes five capital
tiers:  "well capitalized," "adequately capitalized," "undercapitalized,"
"significantly undercapitalized," and "critically undercapitalized."

Implementing regulations adopted by the federal banking agencies in September
1992 and effective on December 19, 1992 define the capital categories for banks
which will determine the necessity for prompt corrective actions by the federal
banking agencies.  A bank may be placed in a capitalization category that is
lower than is indicated by its capital position if it receives an
unsatisfactory examination rating with respect to certain matters.

Under the regulations, a "well-capitalized" institution has a minimum total
capital to total risk-weighted assets ratio of at least 10 percent, a minimum
Tier I capital to total risk-weighted assets ratio of at least 6 percent, a
minimum leverage ratio of at least 5 percent, and is not subject to any written
order, agreement, or directive; an "adequately capitalized" institution has a
total capital to total risk-weighted assets ratio of at least 8 percent, a Tier
I capital to total risk-weighted assets ratio of at least 4 percent, and a
leverage ratio of at least 4 percent (3 percent if given the highest regulatory
rating and not experiencing significant growth), but does not qualify as
"well-capitalized.  An "undercapitalized" institution fails to meet any one of
the three minimum capital requirements.  A "significantly undercapitalized"
institution has a total capital to total risk-weighted assets ratio of less
than 6 percent, a Tier I capital to total risk-weighted assets ratio of less
than 3 percent or a Tier I leverage ratio of less than 3 percent.  A
"critically undercapitalized" institution has a Tier I leverage ratio of 2
percent or less.  Under certain circumstances, a "well-capitalized,"
"adequately capitalized," or "undercapitalized" institution may be required to
comply with supervisory actions as if the institution was in the next lowest
capital category.

<PAGE>   9
Failure to meet capital guidelines could subject a bank to a variety of
restrictions and enforcement remedies.  Under FDICIA, all insured banks are
generally prohibited from making any capital distributions and from paying
management fees to persons having control of the bank where such payments would
cause the bank to be undercapitalized.  Holding companies of significantly
undercapitalized, critically undercapitalized and certain undercapitalized
banks may be required to obtain the approval of the Federal Reserve Board
before paying capital distributions to their shareholders.   Moreover, a bank
that is not well-capitalized is generally subject to various restrictions on
"pass through" insurance coverage for certain of its accounts and is generally
prohibited from accepting brokered deposits and offering interest rates on any
deposits significantly higher than the prevailing rate in its normal market
area or nationally (depending upon where the deposits are solicited).  Such
banks and their holding companies are also required to obtain regulatory
approval prior to their retention of senior executive officers.  Banks which
are classified undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized or critically
undercapitalized are required to submit capital restoration plans satisfactory
to their federal banking regulator and guaranteed within stated limits by
companies having control of such banks (i.e., to the extent of the lesser of
five percent of the institution's total assets at the time it became
undercapitalized or the amount necessary to bring the institution into
compliance with all applicable capital standards as of the time the institution
fails to comply with its capital restoration plan, until the institution is
adequately capitalized on average during each of four consecutive calendar
quarters), and are subject to regulatory monitoring and various restrictions on
their operations and activities, including those upon asset growth,
acquisitions, branching and entry into new lines of business and may be
required to divest themselves of or liquidate subsidiaries under certain
circumstances.  Holding companies of such institutions may be required to
divest themselves of such institutions or divest themselves of or liquidate
nondepository affiliates under certain circumstances.  Critically
undercapitalized institutions are also prohibited from making payments of
principal and interest on debt subordinated to the claims of general creditors
and are generally subject to the mandatory appointment of a conservator or
receiver.

Other Regulations

FDICIA requires the federal banking agencies to adopt, by August 1, 1993,
regulations prescribing standards for safety and soundness of insured banks and
their holding companies, including standards relating to internal controls,
information systems, internal audit systems, loan documentation, credit
underwriting, interest rate exposure, asset growth, compensation, fees and
benefits, asset quality, earnings and stock valuation, as well as other
operational and managerial standards deemed appropriate by the agencies.  Upon
a determination by a federal banking agency that an insured bank has failed to
satisfy any such standard, the bank will be required to file an acceptable plan
to correct the deficiency.  If the bank fails to submit or implement an
acceptable plan, the federal banking agency may, and in some instances must,
issue an order requiring the institution to correct the deficiency, restrict
its asset growth, increase its ratio of tangible equity to assets, or impose
other operating restrictions.  On November 18, 1993, the federal banking
agencies issued a notice of proposed rule-making setting forth general safety
and soundness in areas prescribed in FDICIA and solicited comments regarding
the proposed safety and soundness standards.  In the view of the federal
banking agencies, the proposed standards do not represent a change in existing
policies but, instead, formalize fundamental standards already applied by the
agencies.  In general, the proposed standards establish objectives of proper
operations and management while leaving the specific methods for achieving
those objectives to each institution.  However, the proposal establishes a
maximum permissible ratio of classified assets to capital for institutions.
The proposal also implements the requirements of FDICIA regarding the
submission and review of safety and soundness plans by institutions failing to
meet the prescribed standards and the issuance of orders where institutions
have failed to submit acceptable compliance plans or implement an accepted plan
in any material respect.  Because the final terms of the regulators'
implementation of this requirement of FDICIA are not yet known, Zions
Bancorporation cannot predict the effect of its application to its operations
or the operations of its subsidiaries.

FDICIA also contains provisions which, among other things, restrict investments
and activities as principal by state nonmember banks to those eligible for
national banks, impose limitations on deposit account balance determinations
for the purpose of the calculation of interest, and require the federal banking
regulators to prescribe, implement, or modify standards, respectively, for
extensions of credit secured by liens on interests in real estate or made for
the purpose of financing construction of a building or other improvements to
real estate, loans to bank insiders, regulatory accounting and reports,
internal control reports, independent audits, exposure on interbank
liabilities, contractual arrangements under which institutions receive goods,
products or services, deposit account-related disclosures and advertising, as
well as to impose restrictions on Federal Reserve discount window advances for
certain institutions and to require that insured depository institutions
generally be examined on-site by federal or state personnel at least once every
twelve (12) months.

In connection with an institutional failure or FDIC rescue of a financial
institution, the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of
1989 ("FIRREA") grants to the FDIC the right, in many situations, to charge its
actual or anticipated losses against commonly controlled depository institution
affiliates of the failed or rescued institution (although not against a bank
holding company itself).  FIRREA also explicitly allows bank holding companies
to acquire healthy as well as troubled savings associations (including savings
and loan associations and federal savings banks) under Section 4 of the Bank
Holding Company Act.  In connection with this authorization, the Federal
Reserve Board has been instructed not to impose so-called "tandem operating
restrictions" which might otherwise limit the joint marketing or joint
operations of affiliated banks and thrifts beyond those restrictions otherwise
embodied in law.  FIRREA also relieves bank holding companies that own savings
associations of certain duplicative or intrusive savings and loan holding
company regulations and, in some instances, allows savings associations that
have been acquired by bank holding companies to merge into affiliated banks or
become banks themselves.

On October 28, 1992, the Housing and Community Development Act of 1992 was
enacted which, inter alia, modified prior law regarding the establishment of
compensation standards by the federal banking agencies, deposit account
disclosures, loans to bank insiders and real estate appraisal requirements;
made certain technical corrections to FDICIA; imposed new sanctions upon banks
convicted of money laundering or cash transaction reporting offenses; and
restricted the methods banks may employ to calculate and refund prepaid
interest on mortgage refinancing and consumer loans.  In addition, on October
23, 1992, the Depository Institutions Disaster Relief Act of 1992 was enacted,
affording the federal banking agencies limited discretion to provide relief
from certain regulatory requirements to depository institutions doing business
or seeking to do business in an emergency or major disaster area.  Zions
Bancorporation does not currently expect that the implication of these laws
will have a material adverse effect upon its operations and business or upon
the operations and business of its subsidiaries.

On August 10, 1993, the President signed into law the Omnibus Budget
Reconciliation Act of 1993 which contains provisions that, inter alia, affect
the amortization of intangible assets by banks, require securities dealers
(including banks) to adopt mark-to-market accounting to calculate income taxes,
transfer surplus funds from the Federal Reserve System to the Department of the
Treasury, authorize the United States government to originate student loans and
establish a preference for depositors in liquidations of FDIC-insured banks.
Zions Bancorporation is currently assessing the consequences to its operations,
earnings and capital position, and that of its subsidiaries of the enactment of
this legislation.  In addition, a number of legislative and regulatory measures
have been proposed to strengthen the federal deposit insurance system and to
improve the overall financial stability of the U.S. banking system, including
those to authorize interstate banking for national banks, reduce regulatory
burdens on financial institutions and regulate the sale of securities and
insurance by banks as well as bank involvement in derivative activities.  It is
impossible to predict whether or in what form these proposals may be adopted in
the future and, if adopted, what their effect will be on Zions Bancorporation
and its subsidiaries.

There are many other regulations requiring detailed compliance procedures which
increase costs and require additional time commitments of employees.
Regulators and the Congress continue to put in place rules and laws to protect
consumers, which have a cumulative additional impact on the cost of doing
business.  A recent amendment to the Real Estate Settlement Procedures, which
becomes effective August 9, 1994, covers most loans secured by 1-4 family
dwellings, whether secured by first or junior liens, and appears to add
significant new disclosure requirements for banks.  Additionally, a recent
proposal, out for comment, to amend Community Reinvestment Act compliance
rules, if adopted as proposed, would have an impact on allocation of credit to
low income areas and could have an overall effect on interest rate margins.  At
this point, management cannot completely assess how much earnings might be
reduced from these consumer laws.

Deposit Insurance Assessments

The insured bank subsidiaries of Zions Bancorporation are required to pay
semi-annual deposit insurance assessments to the Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF").
FDICIA requires the FDIC to establish a schedule to increase the reserve ratio
of the BIF to 1.25% of insured deposits (or such higher ratio as the FDIC
determines to be justified for any year by circumstances raising a significant
risk of substantial future losses) over a 15-year period, and to increase the
assessment rate on banks, if necessary, to achieve that ratio.  FDICIA also
requires the FDIC to establish by January 1, 1994, by regulation, a risk-based
assessment system for deposit insurance which will take into account the
probability that the deposit insurance fund will incur a loss with respect to
an institution, the likely amount of such loss and the revenue needs of the
deposit insurance fund.

<PAGE>   11
On October 1, 1992, the FDIC published revisions to its deposit insurance
regulation to establish a transitional risk-based assessment system pending
establishment of a permanent risk-based assessment system by January 1, 1994.
Effective January 1, 1993, each insured bank's insurance assessment rate is
determined by the risk assessment classification into which it has been placed
by the FDIC. The FDIC places each insured bank in one of nine risk assessment
classifications based upon its level of capital and supervisory evaluations by
its regulations: "well-capitalized" banks, "adequately capitalized" banks or
"less-than-adequately capitalized" banks, with each category of banks divided
into subcategories of banks which are either "healthy," of "supervisory
concern" or of "substantial supervisory concern." An eight-basis point spread
exists between the assessment rate established for the highest and lowest risk
classification, so that banks classified as strongest by the FDIC are subject
to a rate of .23% (the same rate as under the previous flat-rate assessment
system) while those classified as weakest by the FDIC are subject to a rate of
.31% (with intermediate rates of .26%, .29%, and .30%).  The FDIC staff has
stated that insured banks will pay an average ratio of approximately .254%.  At
a meeting on June 17, 1993, the FDIC's board of directors approved revisions to
its regulation establishing the transitional risk-based assessment system with
respect to the making of supervisory subgroup assignments and review of such
assignments by the FDIC, the making of capital group assignments for new
institutions by the FDIC, the payment of disputed assessments by institutions
and other matters.  In addition, on May 25, 1993, the FDIC board of directors
voted to amend the current recapitalization schedule for the BIF to reflect the
projected achievement by the BIF of a reserve ratio of 1.25% of insured
deposits by 2002 (rather than 2006 under the current schedule) and retain the
current deposit insurance assessment rates for BIF-member institutions for
semi-annual periods beginning July 1, 1993.  Zions Bancorporation does not
presently expect that implementation of the transitional risk-based deposit
insurance assessment system, as so revised, will have a material adverse impact
on its overall financial condition or results of operations or those of its
bank subsidiaries.

It is possible that the FDIC insurance assessments will be increased further in
the future.  In addition, the FDIC has authority to impose special assessments
from time to time.

Interstate Banking

Existing laws and various regulatory developments have allowed financial
institutions to conduct significant activities on an interstate basis for a
number of years.  During recent years, a number of financial institutions have
expanded their out-of-state activities and various states have enacted
legislation intended to allow certain interstate banking combinations which
otherwise would be prohibited by federal law.

The Banking Holding Company Act generally does not permit the Federal Reserve
Board to approve an acquisition by a bank holding company of voting shares or
assets of a bank located outside the state in which the operations of its
banking  subsidiaries are principally conducted unless the acquisition is
specifically authorized by the statutes of the state in which such bank is
located.  Under the laws of Utah, Nevada, and Arizona, respectively, any
out-of-state bank or bank holding company may acquire a Utah, Nevada, or
Arizona bank or bank holding company upon the approval of the bank supervisor
of the state.  There is no requirement that the laws of the state in which the
out-of-state bank or bank holding company's operations are principally
conducted afford reciprocal privileges to Utah -, Nevada - or Arizona-based
acquirers.

The commercial banking subsidiaries are supervised and regularly examined by
various federal and state regulatory agencies.  Deposits, reserves,
investments, loans, consumer law compliance, issuance of securities, payment of
dividends, mergers and consolidations, electronic funds transfers, management
practices, and other aspects of operations are subject to regulation.  In
addition, numerous federal, state, and local regulations set forth specific
restrictions and procedural requirements with respect to the extension of
credit, credit practices, the disclosure of credit terms, and discrimination in
credit transactions.  The various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of
their examination process, periodically review the banking subsidiaries'
allowances for loan losses.  Such agencies may require the banking subsidiaries
to recognize additions to such allowances based on their judgments using
information available to them at the time of their examinations.

As a consequence of the extensive regulation of the commercial banking
business, the Company cannot yet assess the impact of these legislative and
regulatory mandates on the commercial banking industry which may increase the
cost of doing business that are not required of the industry's nonbank
competitors.

Federal and state legislation affecting the banking industry have played, and
will continue to play, a significant role in shaping the nature of the
financial service industry.  Various legislation, including proposals to
overhaul the banking regulatory system and to limit the investments that a
depository institution may make with insured funds, is from time to time
introduced.  The Company cannot determine the ultimate effect that FDICIA and
the implementing regulations to be adopted thereunder, or any other potential
legislation, if enacted, would have upon its financial condition or operations.

In addition, there are cases pending before federal and state courts that seek
to expand or restrict interpretations of existing laws and their accompanying
regulations affecting bank holding companies and their subsidiaries.  It is not
possible to predict the extent to which Zions Bancorporation and its
subsidiaries may be affected by any of these initiatives.

GOVERNMENT MONETARY POLICIES AND ECONOMIC CONTROLS

The earnings and business of the Company are affected by general economic
conditions.  In addition, fiscal or other policies that are adopted by various
regulatory authorities of the United States and by agencies can have important
consequences on the financial performance of the Company.  The Company is
particularly affected by the policies of the Federal Reserve Board which
regulate the national supply of bank credit.  The instruments of monetary
policy available to the Federal Reserve Board include open-market operations in
United States government securities; changing the discount rates of member bank
borrowings; imposing or changing reserve requirements against member bank
deposits; and imposing or changing reserve requirements against certain
borrowings by banks and their affiliates.  These methods are used in varying
combinations to influence the overall growth of bank loans, investments and
deposits, and the interest rates charged on loans or paid for deposits.

The Company has economic, credit, legal and other specialists who monitor
economic conditions, government policies and economic controls.  However, in
view of changing conditions in the economy and the effect of the credit
policies of monetary authorities, it is difficult to predict future changes in
loan demand, deposit levels and interest rates, or their effect on the business
and earnings of Zions Bancorporation and its subsidiaries.  Federal Reserve
Board monetary policies have had a significant effect on the operating results
of commercial banks in the past and are expected to continue to do so in the
future.

COMPETITION

Zions Bancorporation and its subsidiaries operate in a highly competitive
environment.  The banking subsidiaries compete with other banks, thrift
institutions, credit unions and money market, and other mutual funds for
deposits and other sources of funds.  In addition, Zions Bancorporation and its
bank and nonbank subsidiaries face increased competition with respect to the
diverse financial services and products they offer.  Competitors include not
only other banks, thrift institutions, and mutual funds, but also leasing
companies, finance companies, brokerage firms, investment banking companies,
and a variety of other financial services and advisory companies.  Many of
these competitors are not subject to the same regulatory restrictions as are
bank holding companies and banks such as Zions Bancorporation and its banking
subsidiaries.

The Company expects that competitive conditions will continue to intensify as a
result of technological advances.  Technological advances have, for example,
made it possible for nondepository institutions to offer customers automatic
transfer systems and other automated-payment systems services that have been
traditional banking products.

EMPLOYEES

The Company employs approximately 2,846 full- and part-time people with
approximately 2,651 being employed by the banking subsidiaries.  The Company
had 2,574 full-time equivalent employees at December 31, 1993, compared to
2,345 at December 31, 1992.  Banking subsidiaries had 2,386 full-time
equivalent employees at the end of 1993, compared to 1,950 a year earlier.  The
Company believes that it enjoys good employee relations.  In addition to
competitive salaries and wages, Zions Bancorporation and its subsidiaries
contribute to group medical plans, group insurance plans, pension, stock
ownership and profit sharing plans.

ITEM 2.      PROPERTIES

In Utah, fifty (50) of Zions First National Bank's eighty-four (84) offices are
located in buildings owned by the Company and the other thirty-four (34) are on
leased premises.  In Nevada, four (4) of Nevada State Bank's nineteen (19)
offices are located in buildings owned and the other fifteen (15) are on leased
premises, and in Arizona, Zions First National Bank of Arizona owns two (2)
offices and leases one (1) office.  The annual rentals under long-term leases
for such banking premises are determined under various formulas and include as
various factors, operating costs, maintenance and taxes.

Zions Bancorporation is lessee under a 25-year lease, of  which 22 years have
expired, of a 14-story building in downtown Salt Lake City, Utah.  The
Company's subsidiaries have  leased the ground floor and two other floors.  The
J.C. Penney Company, Inc., has subleased nine floors for offices.  The
remaining two floors are sublet to various tenants.

The Company's subsidiaries conducting lease financing, insurance, mortgage
servicing, and discount brokerage activities operate from leased premises.

For information regarding rental payments, see note 9 of Notes to Consolidated

ITEM 3.      LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

During 1988, a lawsuit was brought in the United States District Court, Utah
District, against Zions First National Bank in connection with its performance
of duties as an indenture trustee for certain investors in real estate and
other syndication projects.  In September 1992, a motion was granted allowing
an amended complaint containing allegations that plaintiffs intend to proceed
as a class action to recover approximately $23 million, prejudgment interest,
attorneys' fees, and additional amounts under certain statutory provisions and
common law.  No motion to certify the classes has been filed, and the Bank
intends to vigorously oppose such motion and to defend the entire action.
Although no assurances can be given as to the outcome, the Company continues to
believe that it has meritorious defenses to such lawsuit, and that there is
insurance coverage for a substantial portion of the amount claimed.

The Company is also the defendant in various other legal proceedings arising in
the normal course of business.  The Company does not believe that the outcome
of any of such proceedings, including the lawsuit discussed in the preceding
paragraph, will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial
position.

ITEM 4.      SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

Description of any restrictions on the issuer's present or future ability to
pay dividends:

Funds for the payment of dividends by Zions Bancorporation have been obtained
primarily from dividends paid by the commercial banking and other subsidiaries.
In addition to certain statutory limitations on the payment of dividends,
approval of federal and/or state banking regulators may be required in some
instances for any dividend to Zions Bancorporation by its banking subsidiaries.
The payment of future dividends therefore is dependent upon earnings and the
financial condition of the Company and its subsidiaries as well as other
factors.

ITEM 7.      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
             RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following analysis of the Company's financial condition and results of
operations as of and for the years ended December 31, 1993, 1992, and 1991
should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the
Company and detailed information presented elsewhere herein.

OPERATING RESULTS

Consolidated net income in 1993 increased 22.2% to $53,039,000 from $43,402,000
in 1992 and $29,124,000 in 1991, while net income per share in 1993 increased
17.9% to $4.15 from $3.52 in 1992 and $2.39 in 1991.  Earnings results for 1993
were positively affected in the net amount of $1,659,000 or $.13 per share due
to the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles implemented during
the first quarter of the year.  The earnings results for 1993 represent a
historic high for income before income taxes and net income.  Some of the
factors affecting the favorable level of earnings were a $12,785,000 (8.9%)
increase in net interest income, a $3,222,000 (17.0%) increase in service
charges on deposit accounts, a $1,966,000 (10.6%) increase in service charges,
commissions and fees, a $14,898,000 (226.7%) increase in loan sales and
servicing income, and a $7,953,000 (77.6%) decrease in the provisions for loan
losses.  These increased contributions to income were partially offset by a
$13,223,000 (20.0%) increase in salaries and benefits, a $6,263,000 (9.6%)
increase in all other operating expenses, excluding a one-time expense of
$6,022,000, and a $3,518,000 (16.6%) increase in income taxes.

The Company's earnings for the year ended December 31, 1993 were negatively
affected by a one-time expense of $6,022,000 in the first quarter related to
the early extinguishment of debt consisting of floating rate notes and
industrial revenue bonds.  The expense is included in other operating expenses.
This expense consisted of marking to market an interest rate exchange agreement
entered into several years ago in conjunction with the issuance of long-term
floating rate notes and writing off deferred costs associated with the notes
and bonds.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes," which establishes financial accounting
requirements for the effects of income taxes.  The statement requires a change
from the deferred method of accounting for income taxes to the asset and
liability method of accounting for income taxes.  Under the asset and liability
method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated
future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial
statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their
respective tax bases.  Under SFAS No. 109, the effect on deferred tax assets
and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period
that includes the enactment date.

Effective January 1, 1993, the Company adopted SFAS No. 109 and reported the
cumulative effect of the change in the method of accounting for income taxes in
the 1993 consolidated statement of income.  The cumulative effect of such
change in accounting method increased net income for the year ended December
31, 1993 by $7,419,000.

The FASB issued SFAS No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement
Benefits Other than Pensions," in December 1990.  Under SFAS No. 106, the cost
of postretirement benefits other than pensions must be recognized on an accrual
basis as employees perform services to earn the benefits.  Many of the
provisions and concepts of SFAS No. 106 are similar to current standards on
accounting for pensions.  The provisions of SFAS No. 106 are effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1992.  The Company has made it a
practice to provide certain health care benefits for retired employees.  The
level of benefits to be paid to employees retiring in the future was also
modified in 1992 to require greater contributions from the employee at
retirement and a cap on the amount of retiree premiums that will be paid by the
Company.  Employees hired after December 31, 1992 are not entitled to retiree
health benefits.

Effective January 1, 1993, the Company adopted SFAS No. 106 and reported the
cumulative effect of the change in the method of accounting for postretirement
benefits other than pensions in the 1993 consolidated statement of income.  The
cumulative effect (transition obligation) of such change in accounting method
decreased pretax and after-tax net income by $5,760,000 and $3,631,000,
respectively.

The FASB issued SFAS No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and
Equity Securities," in May 1993.  Under SFAS No. 115, certain debt securities,
depending on the intention of the holder, and equity securities are designated
as  trading securities and are marked to market through income, certain debt
and equity securities are designated as available for sale and are marked to
market through the equity accounts, and certain debt securities are designated
as held to maturity and carried at amortized cost.

Effective December 31, 1993, the Company adopted SFAS No. 115 and classified
its securities according to the pronouncement.  The change in the method of
accounting for securities had no effect on income for 1993 and resulted in an
increase of $432,000 in equity as of December 31, 1993.

EARNINGS PERFORMANCE

NET INTEREST INCOME, MARGIN, AND INTEREST RATE SPREADS

Net interest income is the difference between the total interest income
generated by earnings assets and the total interest cost of the funds used to
finance assets.  Net interest income is the largest component of the Company's
revenue.  The Company's taxable-equivalent net interest income increased by
8.9% to $160,129,000 in 1993 as compared to $147,060,000 in 1992 and
$133,813,000 in 1991.  The Company attempts to minimize interest rate movement
sensitivity through the management of interest rate maturities and to a much
lessor extent the use of off-balance sheet arrangements such as interest rate
caps, floors, and interest rate exchange contract agreements.  During 1993, the
Company had income of $291,000 from the use of such off-balance sheet
arrangements compared to income to the Company of  $9,000 in 1992 and a cost to
the Company of $875,000 in 1991.  The Company intends to continue to use such
off-balance sheet arrangements to the extent necessary to minimize its exposure
to changes in prevailing interest rates.

Net interest margin is a measure of the Company's ability to generate net
interest income and is computed by expressing net interest income (stated on a
fully taxable-equivalent basis) as a percentage of earning assets.  The
Company's net interest margin was 4.11% for 1993 as compared to 4.49% in 1992
and 4.35% in 1991.  The decrease in the margin for 1993 was due primarily to
securitization sales of loans and the expansion of investments in security
resell agreements during the second half of 1993.  Securitization sales of
loans converts high margin income from loans to other operating income.  The
security resell agreements are primarily in U.S. government and U.S. government
agency securities which offer low yields but represent virtually no risk to the
Company and require low or no consolidated "risk-based" capital.  The Company
has been entering into the security resell arrangements through the new
division in its lead banking subsidiary, Discount Corporation of New York.  The
Company has chosen this method of investing in very short-term arrangements to
increase its net interest income while maintaining its liquidity.

The spread on average interest-bearing funds is the difference between the
yield on earning assets and the cost of interest-bearing funds.  The Company's
spread on average interest-bearing funds was 3.62% for 1993 as compared to
3.89% in 1992 and 3.56% in 1991.  The spread on average interest-bearing funds
for 1993 has also been affected by securitization sales of loans and
investments in security resell arrangements.

Consolidated average balances, the amount of interest earned or paid, the
applicable interest rate for the various categories of earning assets and
interest-bearing funds which represent the components of net interest income
and interest differentials on a taxable-equivalent basis, and the effect on net
interest income of changes due to volume and rates for the years 1993, 1992,
and 1991 are shown in tables on pages 17 through 19.  Income computed on a
taxable-equivalent basis is income as reported in the consolidated statements
of income adjusted to make income and earning yields on assets exempt from
income taxes comparable to other taxable income.  Applied to yields on the
obligations of states and political subdivisions thereof and on industrial
revenue bonds, this adjustment facilitates analysis.  The incremental tax rate
used for calculating the taxable-equivalent adjustment was approximately 32% in
each of 1993, 1992, and 1991.

In the tables for the three years, the principal amounts of nonaccrual and
renegotiated loans have been included in the average loan balances used to
determine the rate earned on loans.  Interest income on nonaccrual loans is
included in income only to the extent that cash payments have been received and
not applied to principal and is accrued on restructured loans at the reduced
rates.  Certain restructured loan agreements call for additional interest to be
paid on a deferred or contingent basis.  Such interest is taken into income
only as collected.

The analysis in the tables of the effect on net interest income of volume and
rate changes, the change due to the volume/rate variance in this analysis has
been allocated to volume, except when volume and rate have both increased then
this variance has been allocated proportionately to both volume and rate and
when rate has increased and volume has decreased then this variance has been
allocated to rate.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

The provision for loan losses in 1993 decreased 77.6% to $2,298,000 from
$10,251,000 in 1992, and $23,549,000 in 1991.  The decrease in loan loss
provisions resulted from improved credit risk management and an improved
economy which have produced decreases in nonperforming assets and charge offs
and an increase in recoveries.

OTHER OPERATING INCOME

The Company's other operating income increased by 26.3% to $78,127,000 in 1993
as compared to $61,861,000 in 1992, and $51,488,000 in 1991.  Service charges
on deposits increased by 17.0% in 1993 to $22,216,000, primarily as a result of
price increases and higher volumes in 1993.  Other service charges,
commissions, and fees increased by 10.6% in 1993 to $20,450,000 primarily as a
result of increased fees relating to mortgage and other loan originations.
Trading account income decreased by 47.0% to $2,350,000 in 1993 as compared to
$4,437,000 in 1992 primarily as a result of a gain on the sale of SBA-IO strips
in 1992.  Loan sales and servicing income increased 226.7% to $21,471,000 in
1993 primarily as a result of an increased volume of consumer and real estate
loans sold at the end of 1992 and during 1993.   The Company has not recognized
an initial gain on the sale of loans but recognizes the income over the
servicing life of the sale.  Other income decreased by 17.0% in 1993 to
$7,035,000 primarily as a result of interest received on federal income tax
refunds in 1992.

The following table presents the components of other operating income for the
years indicated and a year-to-year comparison expressed in terms of percent
changes.

OTHER OPERATING EXPENSES

Operating expenses increased by 19.5% in 1993 to $156,548,000 as compared to
$131,040,000 in 1992, and $117,307,000 in 1991.  Employee salary and benefits
costs increased by 20.0% in 1993 to $79,245,000, primarily as a result of
increased staffing in retail and investment activities, general salary increases
and bonuses, commissions, and profit sharing costs related to increased
profitability.

The Company benefited by a decrease of 85.5% in other real estate expense to
$366,000 in 1993 as holding costs declined through the continued sales of other
real estate owned properties during 1993.  Also, values received in the sales of
other real estate owned continued to improve in 1993.  F.D.I.C. premiums
increased by 13.7% in 1993 to $6,541,000 as compared to $5,752,000 in 1992 due
primarily to higher assessment rates. The Company recognized a loss on early
extinguishment of debt in the amount of $6,022,000 during 1993.  All other
expenses increased 12.0% to $24,279,000 in 1993 as compared to $21,781,000 in
1992 primarily due to increases in travel expenses and other miscellaneous
expenses.

INCOME TAXES

The Company's income taxes increased 17.0% to $24,718,000 compared to
$21,200,000 in 1992, and $12,975,000 in 1991, primarily due to the increase in
before tax income.  The Company's effective tax rate decreased slightly to 32.5%
in 1993 from 32.8% in 1992 as the increase in tax-exempt income and other lesser
factors offset the 1993 increase in the statutory federal rate.

ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

LIQUIDITY

Liquidity represents the Company's ability to provide adequate funds to meet
its financial obligations, including withdrawals by depositors, debt service
requirements, and operating needs.  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 $1,605.8 million or 55.2% of core
deposits at December 31, 1993, as compared to $1,067.6 million or 40.1% of core
deposits at December 31, 1992.

The Company's core deposits, consisting of demand, savings, and money market
deposits, and small certificates of deposit, constituted 96.2% of total
deposits at December 31, 1993, as compared to 96.3% at December 31, 1992.

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.  Through an ongoing review of the Company's levels
of interest-sensitive assets and liabilities, efforts are made to structure
portfolios in such a way as to minimize the effects of fluctuating interest
rate levels on net interest income.

The parent company's cash requirements consist primarily of principal and
interest payments on its borrowings, dividend payments to shareholders, cash
operating expenses, and payments for income taxes.  The parent company's cash
needs are routinely satisfied through payments by subsidiaries of dividends,
proportionate shares of current income taxes, management and other fees, and
principal and interest payments on subsidiary borrowings from the parent
company.

INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY

Interest rate sensitivity measures the Company's financial exposure to changes
in interest rates.  Interest rate sensitivity is, like liquidity, affected by
maturities of assets and liabilities.  Unlike liquidity, however, interest rate
sensitivity is measured in terms of "gaps," defined as the difference between
volumes of assets and liabilities whose interest rates are subject to reset
within specified periods of time.

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 be reasonably close to
neutral.

The Company has no foreign loans in its loan portfolio.

ASSETS MANAGED

In recent years, banks and other financial institutions have had an increasing
tendency to "securitize" loans by pooling and selling them to investors, with
the servicing responsibilities and residual income in excess of financing
costs, servicing expenses, and loan losses accruing to the originating
institution.  The "securitization" of receivables can assist an institution in
maximizing its ability to originate loans without large increases in capital,
thereby enhancing the return on shareholders' equity.  The Company's
participation in the "securitization" process, as well as its participation in
originating and selling mortgage loans, has increased in recent years.  At
December 31, 1993, real estate loans serviced for others amounted to $1,466.5
million compared to $1,252.8 million at December 31, 1992, and $1,224.3 million
at December 31, 1991.  Other loans serviced for investors at December 31, 1993
totaled $373.4 million, compared to $267.9 million at December 31, 1992, and
$158.2 million at December 31, 1991.

CREDIT RISK MANAGEMENT

Management of credit risk is a primary objective in maintaining a safe and
sound institution.  To accomplish this task, the Company has written and placed
in effect loan policies to govern each of its loan portfolios.  Loan policies
assist the Company in providing a framework for consistency in the acceptance
of credit and a basis for sound credit decisions.  Generally, the Company makes
its credit decisions based upon debtor cash flow and available collateral.  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.  In addition, the Company has well-defined
standards for grading its loan portfolio, and maintains an internal Credit
Examination Department which periodically conducts examinations of the quality,
documentation, and administration of the Company's lending departments, and
submits reports thereon to a committee of the Board of Directors.  Emphasis is
placed on early detection of potential problem credits so that action  plans

Potential problem loans consist primarily of commercial loans and commercial
real estate loans of $1 million.  Management reviews loans graded "special
mention" and monitors the status of such loans for becoming potential problem
loans and their likelihood of becoming nonperforming loans.  At December 31,
1993, management identified as potential problem loans two loans totaling
$1,114,000 compared to three loans totaling $6,263,000, at December 31, 1992,
and three loans totaling $5,042,000 at December 31, 1991.  Management believes
that for the near future, potential problem loans should remain at about the
current level.

Another aspect of the Company's credit risk management strategy is the
diversification of the loan portfolio.  At year-end, the Company had 19% of its
portfolio in commercial loans, 48% in real estate loans, 16% in consumer loans,
11% in loans held for sale, and 6% in lease financing.  In addition, the
Company attempts to avoid the risk of an undue concentration of credits in a
particular industry or trade group, as indicated by the commercial loan and
lease portfolio being allocated over more than 17 major industry
classifications.  At year end, the largest concentration in the commercial loan
and leasing portfolio was in the retail industry group which comprised
approximately 17% of the portfolio.  The retail group is also well diversified
in eight subcategories.  Agricultural and mining loans comprise less than 7% of
total commercial loans.  Segments of the real estate portfolio as a percentage
of total loans included 7% constructions loans, 7% home equity credit line
loans, 16% 1-4 family residential loans and 18% other real estate-secured
loans.  The Company has no significant exposure to highly leveraged
transactions and has no foreign credits in its loan portfolio.

NONPERFORMING ASSETS

Nonperforming assets include nonaccrual loans, restructured loans, and other
real estate owned.  Loans are generally placed on nonaccrual status when the
loan is 90 days or more past due as to principal or interest, unless the loan
is in the process of collection and well-secured.  Consumer loans are not
placed on a nonaccrual status inasmuch as they are generally charged off when
they become 120 days past due.  Loans are restructured to provide a reduction
or deferral of interest or principal payments when the financial condition of
the borrower deteriorates and requires that the borrower be given temporary or
permanent relief from the contractual terms of the credit.  Other real estate
owned is acquired through or in lieu of foreclosure on credits that are secured
by real estate.

Nonperforming assets totaled $29,425,000 as of December 31, 1993, an increase
of 1.6% from $28,975,000 as of December 31, 1992, but a decrease of 32.7% from
the $43,692,000 at December 31, 1991.  Nonperforming assets represented 1.32%
of net loans and other real estate owned at December 31, 1993, as compared to
1.50% and 2.34% at December 31, 1992 and 1991, respectively.  Nonperforming
assets as a percentage of net loans and other real estate owned at December 31,
1993 are at their lowest levels since at least 1985, the period where records
have been maintained using the present definitions.

Accruing loans past due 90 days or more totaled $9,955,000 as of December 31,
1993, as compared to $6,219,000 at December 31, 1992 and $5,131,000 of December
31, 1991.  These loans equal .45% of net loans and leases at December 31, 1993,
as compared to .32% and .28% at December 31, 1992 and 1991, respectively.

Continuous efforts have been made to reduce nonperforming loans and to
liquidate real estate owned properties in such a manner as to recover the
greatest value possible.  Significant steps have been taken during the last few
years to strengthen the Company's credit culture by implementing a number of
initiatives designed to increase internal controls and improve early detection
and resolution of problem loans.

The following table sets forth the composition of nonperforming assets at
December 31 for the years indicated:

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

The Company's allowance for loan losses was 2.93% of net loans and leases at
December 31, 1993, as compared to 2.97% as of December 31, 1992 and 3.02% as of
December 31, 1991.  Loan charge-offs decreased 53.7% and recoveries increased
57.2% in 1993 as compared to 1992, which resulted in a ratio of net charge-offs
to average loans and leases of (.27)% in 1993, compared to .48% in 1992 and
1.49% in 1991.  The allowance for loan and lease losses relative to problem
loans continued to strengthen in 1993.  The allowance, as a percentage of
nonperforming loans, at December 31, 1993 was 247.19%, as compared to 236.37%
and 159.88% at December 31, 1992 and 1991, respectively.  Nonperforming loans
are defined as loans on which interest is not accrued and restructured loans.
The allowance, as a percentage of noncurrent loans, was 201.73% at December 31,
1993 as compared to 216.51% and 151.66% at December 31, 1992 and 1991,
respectively.  Noncurrent loans are defined as loans on which interest is not
accrued, plus loans 90 days or more past due on which interest continues to
accrue.

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 reviews, 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.

Review of nonperforming loans and evaluation of the quality of the loan
portfolio, as previously mentioned, results in the identification of certain
loans with risk characteristics which warrant specific reserve allocations in
the determination of the amount of the allowance for loan losses.  The
allowance is not allocated among all loan categories, and amounts allocated to
specific categories are not necessarily indicative of future charge-offs.  An
amount in the allowance not specifically allocated by loan category is
necessary in view of the fact that, while no loans were made with the
expectation of loss, some loan losses inevitably occur.  The following is a
categorization of the allowance for loan losses for each year indicated.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

In recent years, regulations with respect to capital and capital adequacy for
commercial banks and bank holding companies have been evolving.  At year end,
there were two measures of capital adequacy in use as follows:

1.  Risk-based Capital

Risk-based capital guidelines require varying amounts of capital to be
maintained against different categories of assets, depending on the general
level of risk inherent in the assets.  A capital allocation is also required
for off-balance sheet exposures such as letters of credit, loan commitment and
interest rate contracts.  The risk-based capital guidelines are in full effect
in 1993 and 1992.  As reflected in the following table, the Company's total
risk-based capital ratio was 14.34% at December 31, 1993 and 15.53% at December
31, 1992.  The minimum regulatory requirement is an 8% total risk-based capital
ratio for a bank to be considered "well-capitalized" under the regulatory
definition is 10%.

2.  Tier I Leverage

Under the risk-based capital guidelines, a bank holding company could, in
theory, significantly leverage its capital through the investment in assets
with little or no credit risk.  The guidelines place a limit on such leverage
through the establishment of a minimum level of tangible equity as a percentage
of average total assets.  The Company's Tier I leverage ratio was 5.47% at
December 31, 1993 and 6.24% at December 31, 1992, compared to the minimum
regulatory requirement of 4% to be considered adequately capitalized.

The following table presents the regulatory risk-based capital at December 31
for the years indicated:

ITEM 8.  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA





                         Independent Auditors' Report 



The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Zions Bancorporation:


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Zions
Bancorporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the
related consolidated statements of income, retained earnings, and cash flows
for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1993.  These
consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated
financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Zions
Bancorporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the
results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the
three-year period ended December 31, 1993, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

As discussed in notes 1 and 12 to the consolidated financial statements, the
Company changed its method of accounting for postretirement benefits other than
pensions to adopt the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board's
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (Statement) No. 106, "Employers'
Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other than Pensions" on January 1, 1993.
As discussed in notes 1 and 6, the Company changed its method of accounting for
income taxes to adopt the provisions of Statement No. 109, "Accounting for
Income Taxes" on January 1, 1993.  As discussed in notes 1 and 3, the Company
changed its method of accounting for investments to adopt the provisions of
Statement No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities" on December 31, 1993.

                Years ended December 31, 1993, 1992, and 1991


1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Business - Zions Bancorporation (the Parent) is a multibank holding company
organized under the laws of Utah in 1955, which provides a full range of
banking and related services through its subsidiaries located primarily in
Utah, Nevada, and Arizona.

Basis of Financial Statement Presentation - The consolidated financial
statements include the accounts of Zions Bancorporation and its subsidiaries
(the Company).  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have
been eliminated in consolidation.  Certain amounts in prior years' consolidated
financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 1993
presentation.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.  In preparing the consolidated
financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of
the balance sheet and revenues and expenses for the period.  Actual results
could differ from those estimates.

Investment Securities - The Company adopted the provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (Statement) No. 115, "Accounting for Certain
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" on December 31, 1993.  Under
Statement No. 115, the  Company classifies its investment securities in one of
three categories: trading, available-for-sale, or held-to-maturity.  Trading
securities are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in
the near term.  Held-to-maturity securities are those securities which the
Company has the ability and intent to hold until maturity.  All other
securities not included in trading or held-to-maturity are classified as
available-for-sale.

Trading and available-for-sale securities are recorded at fair value.
Held-to-maturity securities are recorded at amortized cost, adjusted for the
amortization or accretion of premiums or discounts.  Unrealized holding gains
and losses on trading securities are included in earnings.  Unrealized holding
gains and losses, net of related tax effect, on available-for-sale securities
are excluded from earnings and are reported as a separate component of
shareholders' equity until realized.  Transfers of securities between
categories are recorded at fair value at the date of transfer.  Unrealized
holding gains and losses are recognized in earnings for transfers into trading
securities.  Unrealized holding gains or losses associated with transfers of
securities from held-to-maturity to available-for-sale are recorded as a
separate component of shareholders' equity.  The unrealized holding gains or
losses included in the separate component of equity for securities transferred
from available-for-sale to held-for-maturity are maintained and amortized into
earnings over the remaining life of the security as an adjustment to yield in a
manner consistent with the amortization or accretion of premium or discount on
the associated security.

A decline in the market value of any available-for-sale or held-to-maturity
security below cost that is deemed other than temporary is charged to earnings
resulting in the establishment of a new cost basis for the security.

Premiums and discounts are amortized or accreted over the life of the related
held-to-maturity security as an adjustment to yield using the effective
interest method.  Dividend and interest income are recognized when earned.
Realized gains and losses for securities classified as available-for-sale and
held-to-maturity are included in earnings and are derived using the specific
identification method of determining the cost of securities sold.

Loan Fees - Nonrefundable fees and related direct costs associated with the
origination of loans are deferred.  The net deferred fees and costs are
recognized in interest income over the loan term using methods that generally
produce a level yield on the unpaid loan balance.  Other nonrefundable fees
related to lending activities other than direct loan origination are recognized
as other operating income over the period the related service is provided.
Bankcard discounts and fees charged to merchants for processing transactions
through the Company are shown net of interchange discounts and fees expense,
and are included in other service charges, commissions, and fees.

Mortgage Loan Servicing - Mortgage loan servicing fees are based on a
stipulated percentage of the outstanding loan principal balances being serviced
and are included in income as related loan payments from mortgagors are
collected.  Costs associated with the acquisition of loan servicing rights
through the purchase of servicing contracts or bulk loan purchases are deferred
and amortized over the lives of loans being serviced in proportion to the
estimated net loan servicing income.

                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                      December 31, 1993, 1992, and 1991


Allowance for Loan Losses - The allowance for loan losses is based on
management's periodic evaluation of the loan portfolio and reflects an amount
that, in management's opinion, is adequate to absorb losses in the existing
portfolio.  In evaluating the portfolio, management takes into consideration
numerous factors, including current economic conditions, prior loan loss
experience, the composition of the loan portfolio, and management's estimate of
anticipated credit losses.  Management believes that the allowance for loan
losses is adequate.  While management uses available information to recognize
losses on loans, future additions to the allowance may be necessary based on
changes in economic conditions.  In addition, various regulatory agencies, as
an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the
Company's allowance for loan losses.  Such agencies may require the Company to
recognize additions to the allowance based on their judgments using information
available to them at the time of their examination.

Premises and Equipment - Premises and equipment are stated at cost, net of
accumulated depreciation and amortization.  Depreciation, computed on the
straight-line method, is charged to operations over the estimated useful lives
of the properties.  Leasehold improvements are amortized over the terms of
respective leases or the estimated useful lives of the improvements, whichever
is shorter.  As of December 31, 1993 and 1992, accumulated depreciation and
amortization totaled $55,416,000 and $50,712,000, respectively.

Nonperforming Assets - Nonperforming assets are comprised of loans for which
the accrual of interest has been discontinued, loans for which the terms have
been renegotiated to less than market rates due to a weakening of the
borrower's financial condition (restructured loans), and other real estate
acquired primarily through foreclosure that is awaiting disposition.

Loans are generally placed on a nonaccrual status when principal or interest is
past due 90 days or more unless the loan is both well secured and in the
process of collection, or when in the opinion of management, full collection of
principal or interest is unlikely.  Generally, consumer loans are not placed on
a nonaccrual status inasmuch as they are generally charged off when they become
120 days past due.

Other real estate owned is carried at the lower of cost or net realizable
value.  Real estate may be considered to be in substance foreclosed and
included herein when specific criteria are met.  When property is acquired
through foreclosure, or substantially foreclosed, any excess of the related
loan balance over net realizable value is charged to the allowance for loan
losses.  Subsequent writedowns or losses upon sale, if any, are charged to
other real estate expense.

Amounts Paid in Excess of Net Assets of Acquired Businesses (Goodwill) - The
Company assesses the recoverability of this intangible asset by determining
whether the amortization of the goodwill balance over its remaining life can be
recovered through undiscounted future operating cash flows of the acquired
operation.  The amount of goodwill impairment, if any, is measured based on
projected discounted future operating cash flows using a discount rate
reflecting the Company's average cost of funds.

Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments - In the ordinary course of business,
the Company has entered into off-balance sheet financial instruments consisting
of commitments to extend credit, commercial letters of credit, and standby
letters of credit.  Such financial instruments are recorded in the consolidated
financial statements when they become payable.

The credit risk associated with these commitments is considered in management's
determination of the allowance for loan losses.

Interest Rate Exchange Contracts and Cap and Floor Agreements - The Company
enters into interest rate exchange contracts and cap and floor agreements in
the management of interest rate risk.  The objective of these financial
instruments is to match estimated repricing periods of interest-sensitive
assets and liabilities in order to reduce interest rate exposure.  These
instruments are used only to hedge asset and liability portfolios and are not
used for speculative purposes.  Fees associated with these financial
instruments are accreted into interest income or amortized to interest expense
on a straight-line basis over the lives of the contracts and agreements.  The
net interest received or paid on these contracts is reflected in the interest
expense or income related to the hedged obligation or asset.

                      December 31, 1993, 1992, and 1991


Statements of Cash Flows - For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the
Company considers due from banks to be cash equivalents.

The Company paid interest of $112.6 million, $118.7 million, and $156.9
million, respectively, and income taxes of $23.3 million, $14.9 million, and
$13.8 million, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 1993, 1992, and
1991.  Loans transferred to other real estate owned totaled $1.2 million, $4.9
million, and $3.6 million, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 1993,
1992, and 1991.

Income Taxes - Effective January 1, 1993, the Company adopted the provisions of
Statement No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," and has reported the
cumulative effect of that change in the method of accounting for income taxes
in the 1993 consolidated statement of income.  Under the asset and liability
method of Statement No. 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized
for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the
financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and
their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates
expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary
differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  Under Statement No. 109,
the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is
recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

Pension and Other Postretirement Plans - The Company has a defined benefit
pension plan covering substantially all of its employees.  The benefits are
based on years of service and employees' compensation levels.  The cost of this
program is being funded currently.  The Company has other trustee retirement
plans covering all qualified employees who have at least one year of service
(see note 12).

The Company sponsors a defined benefit health care plan for substantially all
retirees and employees.  Effective January 1, 1993, the Company adopted
Statement No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other
than Pensions," which establishes a new accounting principle for the cost of
retiree health care and other postretirement benefits (see note 12).  Prior to
1993, the Company recognized these benefits on the pay-as-you-go method (i.e.,
cash basis).  The cumulative effect of the change in method of accounting for
postretirement benefits other than pensions is reported in the 1993
consolidated statement of income.

Trust Assets - Assets held by the Company in a fiduciary or agency capacity for
customers are not included in the consolidated financial statements as such
items are not assets of the Company.

Stock Options - Proceeds from the sale of stock issued under options are
credited to common stock.  The Company makes no charges against earnings with
respect to stock options issued under its qualified stock option plan.  The
Company charges income for the difference between the option price and market
value on the date of grant with respect to stock options issued under its
nonqualified stock option plan.

Net Income Per Common Share - Net income per common share is based on the
weighted average outstanding common shares during each year, including common
stock equivalents, if applicable.

Stock Split - On December 18, 1992, the Company's Board of Directors approved a
two-for-one split of the common stock.  This action was effective on January
26, 1993 for shareholders of record as of January 5, 1993.  A total of
6,139,227 shares of common stock were issued and recorded in the form of a
stock dividend.  All references to the number of common shares and per common
share amounts have been restated to reflect the split.

Accounting Standard Not Adopted - In May 1993, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board issued Statement No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for
Impairment of a Loan."  Statement No. 114 requires that impaired loans be
measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at
the loan's effective interest rate or, as a practical expedient, at the loan's
observable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is
collateral dependent.  Statement No. 114 is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 1994.  Management does not expect Statement No.
114 to have a significant impact on the Company's financial position.

2. MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS

On August 11, 1993, the Company acquired all of the capital stock of Discount
Corporation of New York (Discount) for approximately $65.7 million in cash.
The  acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase, and accordingly, the net
assets and results of operations are included in the consolidated financial
statements since the date of acquisition.  The difference between the purchase
price and the net book value of Discount of $9.4 million is included in
deferred tax assets (grouped with other assets) in the accompanying
consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1993.

The following table presents unaudited pro forma results of operations as if
the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 1992.  These pro forma results have
been prepared for comparative purposes only and do not purport to be indicative
of what would have occurred had the acquisition been made at the beginning of
1992 or of results which may occur in the future.  Furthermore, no effect has
been given in the pro forma information for operating and synergistic benefits
that are expected to be realized through the combination of the entities
because precise estimates of such benefits cannot be quantified (in thousands,
except per share data).

On October 29, 1993, the Company and Wasatch Bancorp (Wasatch) consummated
their agreement and plan of reorganization whereby the Company issued 373,335
shares of its common stock for 100 percent of the outstanding common stock of
Wasatch.  The acquisition has been accounted for as a pooling of interests.
The consolidated financial statements of the Company for 1992 and 1991 have not
been restated and pro forma information giving effect to this acquisition is
not provided inasmuch as the historical operations of Wasatch are not
significant to the Company.

During 1993, the Company acquired a 25 percent interest in Bennington Capital
Management, Inc., a Seattle based investment advisor which manages the
Accessor(TM) family of mutual funds.  This acquisition is accounted for on the
equity method.

During the two years ended December 31, 1992, the Company also acquired certain
assets and certain liabilities of two other financial institutions.  These
acquisitions have been treated as purchases for accounting purposes and,
accordingly, the results of operations of these companies have been included in
the consolidated financial statements for periods subsequent to the effective
dates of purchase.

On January 14, 1994, National Bancorp of Arizona Inc. (NBA) was merged into the
Company.  Each outstanding share of NBA common stock was converted into .45
shares of the Company's common stock.  The Company expects to issue
approximately 1,456,400 shares of its common stock for 100 percent of the
outstanding common stock of NBA.  The consolidated financial statements of the
Company do not give effect to this merger, which will be accounted for as a
pooling of interests.  There are no material intercompany transactions and no

A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some
portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.  The Company has
established a valuation allowance for the net capital loss carryforwards as a
result of the uncertainty of realizing offsetting capital gains.  The net
change in the valuation allowance for 1993 amounted to a decrease of
$1,137,000.

The 8-5/8 percent subordinated notes mature in 2002 with interest payable
semiannually.  The notes are not redeemable prior to maturity.

The floating rate notes and $4.7 million of the industrial revenue bonds were
redeemed during 1993.

The industrial revenue bonds require mandatory sinking fund redemption in
various principal amounts through 1995.  The bonds bear interest at rates from
7.40 percent to 7.50 percent.  The bonds are secured by an assignment of leases
on banking facilities and a data processing center.

9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in
the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers and
to reduce its own exposure to fluctuations in interest rates.  These financial
instruments include commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit,
interest rate caps and floors, and interest rate exchange contracts.  Those
instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate
risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheets.  The Company's
exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to
the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters
of credit is represented by the contractual notional amount of those
instruments.  The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments
and conditional obligations as it does for on balance sheet instruments.  For
interest rate caps, floors, and exchange contract transactions, the contract or
notional amounts do not represent exposure to credit loss.

Unless noted otherwise, the Company does not require collateral or other
security to support financial instruments with credit risk.

Notional values of financial instruments are summarized as follows:

</TABLE>

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as
there is no violation of any condition established in the contract.
Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses
and may require payment of a fee.

Commitments totaling $751,035,000 expire in 1994.  Since many of the
commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total
commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.  The
Company evaluates each customer's credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis.
The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Company upon
extension of credit, is based on management's credit evaluation of the counter
party.  Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory,
property, plant and equipment, and income-producing commercial properties.

Standby letters of credit written are conditional commitments issued by the
Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party.  Those
guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing
arrangements, including commercial paper, bond financing, and similar
transactions.  Standby letters of credit include commitments in the amount of
$63,767,000 expiring in 1994 and $6,358,000 expiring thereafter through 2005.
The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same
as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers.  The Company
generally holds marketable securities and cash equivalents as collateral
supporting those commitments for which collateral is deemed necessary.

The Company enters into interest rate contracts, including interest rate caps,
floors, and interest rate exchange contract agreements in managing its interest
rate exposure.  Interest rate caps and floors obligate one of the parties to
the contract to make payments to the other if an interest rate index exceeds a
specified upper "capped" level or if the index falls below a specified "floor"
level.  Interest rate exchange contract agreements involve the exchange of
fixed and variable rate interest payments based upon a notional amount and
maturity.  The fair value of interest rate contracts are obtained from deal
quotes, or discounted cash flow analyses.  The values represent the estimated
amount the Company would receive or pay for comparable contracts, taking into
account current interest rates.  Notional values of interest rate contracts are
summarized as follows (in thousands):

</TABLE>

The contract or notional amount of financial instruments indicates a level of
activity associated with a particular class of financial instrument and is not
a reflection of the actual level of risk.  As of December 31, 1993 and 1992,
the regulatory risk weighted values assigned to all off-balance sheet financial
instruments described herein totaled $132,228,000 and $156,188,000,
respectively.  See note 4 for consideration of financial instruments in
management's determination of the allowance for loan losses.

During 1988, a lawsuit was brought in the United States District Court, Utah
District, against the Bank in connection with its performance of duties as an
indenture trustee for certain investors in real estate and other syndication
projects.  In September 1992, a motion was granted allowing an amended
complaint containing allegations that plaintiffs intend to proceed as a class
action to recover approximately $23 million, prejudgment interest, attorneys'
fees, and additional amounts under certain statutory provisions and common law.
No motion to certify the classes has been filed, and the Bank intends to
vigorously oppose such motion and to defend the entire action.  Although no
assurances can be given as to the outcome, the Company continues to believe
that it has meritorious defenses to such lawsuit, and that there is insurance
coverage for a substantial portion of the amount claimed.

The Company is also the defendant in various other legal proceedings arising in
the normal course of business.  The Company does not believe that the outcome
of any of such proceedings, including the lawsuit discussed in the preceding
paragraph, will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial
position.

In connection with loans sold to (or serviced for) others, the Company is not
subject to significant recourse obligations.

10. STOCK OPTIONS

The Company has a qualified stock option plan adopted in 1981, under which
stock options are granted to key employees; and a nonqualified plan under which
options are granted to certain key employees.  Under the nonqualified plan,
options expire five to ten years from the date of grant. Under the qualified
plan, 1,012,000 shares of common stock were reserved.  Qualified options are
granted at a price not less than 100 percent of the fair market value of the
stock at the date of grant.  Options granted are generally exercisable in
increments from one to four years after the date of grant and expire four years
after the date of grant.

obtained through exercise of options had a cumulative average market value of
$1,944,000 at the date of exercise.

In addition to the Company's defined benefit pension plan, the Company sponsors
a defined benefit health care plan that provides postretirement medical
benefits to full-time employees hired before January 1, 1993, who meet minimum
age and service requirements.  The plan is contributory, with retiree
contributions adjusted annually, and contains other cost-sharing features such
as deductibles and coinsurance.  Plan coverage is provided by self-funding or
health maintenance organizations (HMOs) options.  The accounting for the plan
anticipates future cost-sharing changes to the written plan, including the
Company's expressed intent to increase the retiree contribution rate annually
from 30 percent and 40 percent in 1993 for normal and early retirees,
respectively, to 50 percent for both in 1996.  The Company's retiree premium
contribution rate is frozen at 50 percent of 1996 dollar amounts.  The
Company's policy is to fund the cost of medical benefits in amounts determined
at the discretion of management.

The Company adopted Statement No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for
Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions," as of January 1, 1993.  The
effect of adopting Statement No. 106 on income before cumulative effect of
changes in accounting principles and net income for the year ended December 31,
1993 amounted to a decrease of $5,760,000 and $3,631,000, respectively.

                       December 31, 1993, 1992, and 1991

For measurement purposes, an annual rate of increase in the per capita cost of
covered benefits (i.e., health care cost trend rate) of 11.67 percent and 9
percent were assumed for the self-funded and HMOs options, respectively, for
1994.  The HMOs rate was assumed to decrease gradually to 5 percent by the year
2000 and remain at that level thereafter.  The self-funded rate was assumed to
decrease gradually to 5.8 percent by the year 2001, and decline to 5.01 percent
over the remaining life expectancy of the participants.  The health care cost
trend rate assumption does not have a significant effect on amounts reported
because the Company has capped its retiree premium contribution rates.

The weighted-average discount rate used in determining the accumulated
postretirement benefit obligation was 7.5 percent at December 31, 1993.

The Company has an Employee Stock Savings Plan and an Employee Investment
Savings Plan (formerly known as the Salary Reduction Arrangement Plan)
(PAYSHELTER).  Under PAYSHELTER, employees select from a nontax-deferred or
tax-deferred plan and four investment alternatives.  Employees can contribute
from 1 to 15 percent of compensation, which is matched 50 percent by the
Company for contributions up to 5 percent and 25 percent for contributions
greater than 5 percent up to 10 percent.  Contributions to the plans amounted
to $1,175,000, $793,000, and $636,000 for the years ended December 31, 1993,
1992, and 1991, respectively.

During 1992, the Company formed an employee profit sharing plan.  Contributions
to the plan are determined per a formula based on the Company's annual return
on equity (required minimum return of 15 percent).  Contributions to the plan
amounted to $948,000 and $914,000 for the years ended December 31, 1993 and
1992, respectively.

Most of the Company's business activity is with customers located within the
states of Utah and Nevada.  The commercial loan portfolio is well diversified,
consisting of more than 17 industry classifications groupings.  As of December
31, 1993, the largest concentration of risk in the commercial loan and leasing
portfolio is represented by the real estate industry grouping, which comprises
approximately 17 percent of the portfolio.  The real estate industry grouping
is also well diversified over several subcategories.  The Company has minimal
credit exposure from lending transactions with highly leveraged entities and
has no foreign loans.

Financial assets and financial liabilities other than investment securities of
the Company are not traded in active markets.  The above estimates of fair
value require subjective judgments, and are approximate.  Changes in the
following methodologies and assumptions could significantly affect the
estimates.

Financial Assets - The estimated fair value approximates the carrying value of
cash and due from banks and money market investments.  For securities, the fair
value is based on quoted market prices where available.  If quoted market
prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of
comparable instruments or using a discounted cash flow model based on
established market rates.  The fair value of fixed rate loans is estimated by
discounting future cash flows using the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR)
yield curve adjusted by a factor which reflects the credit and interest rate
risk inherent in the loan.  Variable rate loans reprice with changes in market
rates.  As such their carrying amounts are deemed to approximate fair value.
The fair value of the allowance for loan losses of $65,267,000 is the present 
value of estimated net charge-offs.

Financial Liabilities - The estimated fair value of demand and savings
deposits, and federal funds purchased and security repurchase agreements
approximates the carrying value.  The fair value of time and foreign deposits
is estimated by discounting future cash flows using the LIBOR yield curve.
Substantially all FHLB advances reprice with changes in market interest rates
or have short terms to maturity.  The carrying value of such indebtedness is
deemed to approximate market value.  Other borrowings are not significant.  The
estimated fair value of the subordinated notes is based on a quoted market
price.  The remaining long-term debt is not significant.

Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments - Commitments to extend credit and
letters of credit represent the principal categories of off-balance sheet
financial instruments.  The fair value of these commitments, based on fees
currently charged for similar commitments, is not significant.  See note 9 to
the consolidated financial statements.

16. DIVIDEND RESTRICTION AND CONDENSED PARENT ONLY FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Dividends declared by the Company's banking subsidiaries in any calendar year
may not, without the approval of the appropriate federal regulator, exceed
their net earnings for that year combined with their retained net earnings for
the preceding two years.  At December 31, 1993, the Company's subsidiaries had
approximately $54.6 million available for the payment of dividends under the
foregoing restrictions.  In addition, the banking subsidiaries must meet
various requirements and restrictions under the laws of the United States and
state laws, including requirements to maintain cash reserves against deposits
and limitations on loans and investments with affiliated companies.  During
1993, cash reserve balances held with the Federal Reserve banks averaged
approximately $60.3 million.

(b)   Reports on Form 8-K

      There were no reports on Form 8-K filed during the quarter ended December
31, 1993.

For the purposes of complying with the amendments to the rules governing Form
S-8 (effective July 13, 1990) under the Securities Act of 1993, the undersigned
Registrant hereby undertakes as follows, which undertaking shall be
incorporated by reference into Registrant's Registration Statements on Form S-8
Nos. 33-52878 (filed on October 2, 1992) and 33-52796 (filed on October 2,
1992).

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of
1933 may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons of the
Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant
has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer, or controlling
person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit, or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer, or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

                              ZIONS BANCORPORATION
                      SENIOR MANAGEMENT VALUE SHARING PLAN
                           AWARD PERIOD:  1993 - 1996


Objective:

To provide an ongoing multi-year incentive for the senior managers of Zions
Bancorporation and its subsidiaries which:

A.  Focuses managers' attention on the creation of long-term shareholder value;

B.  Creates an incentive that promotes teamwork across departments and
subsidiaries, and which encourages managers to balance profit center
accountability with Company-wide goals; and,

C.  Complements the short-range annual bonuses which reflect the achievement of
annual objectives and the Company's short-term profitability.

Eligibility:

Participants in the Plan shall consist of the senior management group (and
certain other key managers) of the Company and its major subsidiaries.
Participants for each Award Period shall be specifically identified by the
Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") or its Executive Compensation
Committee (the "Committee").

Allocation of Awards:

It is anticipated that during the first quarter of each year in which the Plan
operates, the Board of Directors shall approve the establishment of a pool of
Award Funds to be generated during the Award Period, according to the general
formula outlined below.  Participants shall be designated by the Board or the
Committee.  Claims against the pool of Award Funds for each Award Period shall
be represented by Participation Units ("PU's), and each Participant shall be
allocated a specific number of PU's by the Committee.  The PU's shall represent
a pro-rata claim, in proportion to the total PU's designated for that Award
Period, on any Award Funds generated by the Plan during the Award Period.

Term:

Each Award Period shall consist of a continuous four-calendar-year period.  The
Plan is intended to constitute a "moving four-year-average" incentive plan,
with the anticipation that a new Award Period would be designated each year,
with multiple Award Periods overlapping one another.  Nevertheless, the
establishment of a new Award Period each year is subject to the Board's
discretion.

Determination of Award Funds:

The amount of Award Funds in the pool for each Award Period shall be a function
of the mathematical average return on shareholders' equity ("AROE") for each of
the four years in the Award Period, together with the aggregate earnings per
share ("AEPS") during the Award Period.

Each year, the Committee shall establish minimum targets for AROE and AEPS for
the Award Period.  These minimum targets would both be required to be reached
in order for any Award Funds to be earned.  Additionally, the Committee may
designate Award Fund AROE, with upward adjustments possible if higher levels of
AEPS are achieved.  The Committee may also designate other conditions and
adjustment factors to ensure the Plan's integrity and consistency with
shareholder and depositor interests.

The 1993 - 1996 Award Period formula for the determination of total Award Funds
is as follows:

         *  Minimum AROE:  14.00%
         *  Minimum AEPS:  $15.55

</TABLE>            

    Interim amounts shall be calculated by interpolation.

The basic Award Fund amount would be further modified by multiplying the
cumulative Award Funds by 1+ [(AEPS - $15.55)/21.6], with a maximum AEPS figure
of $22.67 (resulting in a 33% maximum upward adjustment in the Award Funds.

For the 1993 - 96 Award Period, the following parameters shall be established,
and adjustments made to the Company's earnings calculations, for purposed of
determining Award Funds available under the Plan:

1).   The Plan is intended to create an incentive for increasing shareholder
      value.  However, this is not to be accomplished by reducing capital
      levels or assuming extraordinary or unwarranted risks.  Accordingly, it
      is expected that total risk-based capital levels shall be maintained at a
      level at least 125% of regulatory requirements.

2).   The Company's reserve levels are to be conservatively maintained.  To the
      extent that the consolidated Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses is less
      than 120% of the peer group level, as expressed in terms of
      reserves/noncurrent loans as reported in the most current Uniform Bank
      Performance Report available at January 31, 1996, an appropriate
      adjustment shall be made to after-tax earnings (for purposes of
      calculating Award Funds only) to compensate for any deficit relative to
      the 120% minimum target level.  Actual reserve levels are, of course,
      subject to Board and/or regulatory decisions.  No upward adjustments
      shall be made in "pro forma" earnings in the event actual reserve levels
      exceed 120% of the peer group target.

3).   Unless determined otherwise by the Board, in the event of any merger
      involving an acquisition by Zions for the exchange of Zions' shares in a
      pooling-of-interests transaction, earnings per share prior to the
      acquisition date shall, for the purpose of calculating AEPS during the
      Award Period, be determined using Zions' unrestated numbers.

Other Terms and Conditions:

The Plan is to be governed and interpreted by the Committee, whose decisions
shall be final.  The terms of the Plan are subject to change or termination at
their sole discretion.

The Company shall retain the right to withhold payment of Award Funds to
participants in the event of a significant deterioration in the Company's
financial condition, or if so required by regulatory authorities, or for any
other reason considered valid by the Board in its sole discretion.





                                       74
<PAGE>   77
Participants shall not vest in any benefits available under the Plan until the
conclusion of each Award Period.  Nevertheless, upon death, permanent
disability, or normal or early retirement, participants (or their estates)
shall be eligible to receive a proportionate share of Award Funds based upon
the number of PU's granted, and the number of full calendar quarters the
participant was engaged as an officer of the Company or its subsidiaries prior
to death, disability, or retirement.

The PU's shall not be transferable without the express approval of the
Committee.

In the event of the merger or acquisition of the Company, the Plan shall be
terminated as of the end of the fiscal quarter preceding the first full quarter
before the transaction is consummated.  The Board may make any reasonable
estimates or adjustments possible in calculating Award Funds for any Award
Period, and may, in its sole discretion, distribute benefits to the
participants.

Earnings per share calculations shall be adjusted to reflect any stock splits,
stock dividends, or other such changes in capitalization, at the discretion of
the Committee.

The award of PU's to any participant shall not confer any right with respect to
continuance of employment with the Company or its subsidiaries, nor limit in
any way the right of the Company to terminate his or her employment at any
time, with or without cause.

Aggregate E.P. S. ("AEPS") Modifier:

The basis Participation Unit value determined above shall be adjusted as
follows:

If AEPS for 1993-96 is less than $15.55, the Participation Units shall have no
value.

If AEPS is greater than $15.55, the basic amount determined based on AROE shall
be multiplied by a factor of: 1+[(AEPS-$15.55)/21.6]   (with a maximum factor
of 1.33) to arrive at a final total value of each Participation Unit.

                              ******************

Example:  If AROE is 18.23% and AEPS is $17.76, each Participation Unit would
be worth $16.69.

                          Independent Auditors' Report



The Trust Committee
Zions Bancorporation
   Employee Stock Savings Plan:


We have audited the accompanying statements  of net assets available for
benefits of Zions Bancorporation Employee Stock Savings Plan as  of December
31, 1993 and 1992, and the  related statements of changes in net assets
available for benefits for each of the years in the three-year period  ended
December 31, 1993.  These  financial statements are the responsibility of  the
plan's administrators.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted  our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.   Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit  to
obtain  reasonable assurance  about whether  the financial  statements are
free of  material misstatement.   An  audit includes examining,  on a test
basis,  evidence supporting the  amounts and disclosures in  the financial
statements.   An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used
and significant estimates made by the plan's administrators, as well  as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our  opinion, the financial statements referred  to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net  assets available for benefits of  Zions
Bancorporation  Employee Stock Savings  Plan as  of December  31, 1993  and
1992,  and the changes  in net  assets available for benefits for each of the
years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1993, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

                         Notes to Financial Statements

                       December 31, 1993, 1992, and 1991


(1) Description of the Plan

    Zions Bancorporation Employee Stock  Savings Plan (the Plan) is a single
    employer contributory plan that is  designed to provide retirement benefits
    for eligible employees  under an after tax salary reduction arrangement by
    offering  employees an opportunity to acquire stock ownership in Zions
    Bancorporation (the Company).


(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

    The  following is  a summary  of  significant accounting  policies
    followed by  the Plan  in  the preparation  of its  financial statements.

    (a)  Basis of Presentation

         The Plan's financial statements are presented on the accrual basis of
         accounting.

    (b)  Investments

         The investment in  common stock of  the Company is carried  at market
         value  in the accompanying financial statements.   The investment in
         the short-term investment fund represents a cash equivalent.
         Purchases and sales of investments are  recorded on a trade-date
         basis.

    (c)  Costs of Administration

         All costs of administration are absorbed by the Company.


(3) Eligibility

    Participation in the  Plan is voluntary.   An employee is eligible  to
    participate on January  1, or July 1,  whichever coincides with, or
    immediately follows, the latter of  the date on which the  employee
    completes at least 1,000 hours of service  during 12 continuous months  and
    attains  the age  of 21.   As  of December 31,  1993 and  1992, there  were
    1,524  participants and  1,260 participants, respectively, in the Plan.


(4) Employee and Company Contributions

    Each  eligible  employee  who elects  to  participate  makes  contributions
    ranging  from  one  to five  percent  of  their total compensation.
    Company contributions are equal to 50 percent of the amount contributed by
    the employee.

                        Notes to Financial Statements



(5) Allocation of Income or Loss

    Net  appreciation  (depreciation)  in  market  value of  investments,
    dividends,  and  interest  income  are  allocated  to each participant's
    account  in proportion to  the investment  shares held  in that
    participant's  account to  the total of  investment shares held in the
    Plan.


(6) Vesting and Payment of Benefits

    Employee contributions and the  employees' share of the Company
    contributions are 100 percent vested at  all times.  Benefits are paid upon
    death, disability, retirement, or earlier subject to certain restrictions.
    Benefits are paid in shares of stock.


(7) Income Taxes

    The  Plan obtained its  latest determination letter on  November 5, 1985,
    in  which the Internal Revenue  Service stated that the Plan, as  then
    designed, was  in compliance with the  applicable requirements of  the
    Internal Revenue Code.   The  Plan has been amended since  receiving the
    determination  letter.   The Company  is in  the process of  obtaining a
    new letter  for the  Plan.  However, the plan administrator  and the Plan's
    tax  counsel believe that the  Plan is currently  designed and being
    operated  in compliance with the applicable  requirements of the Internal
    Revenue Code.   Therefore, they believe that the  Plan was qualified and
    the related trust was tax-exempt as of the financial statement date.


(8) Investment

    At December 31, 1993 and 1992, investment in common stock of the Company
    consisted of 214,680 and 164,401 shares, respectively.


(9) Plan Amendments

    The  Plan became effective  on January  1, 1978, and  has been amended  and
    restated at  various times thereafter.   The Plan was completely amended
    and restated as of October 1, 1992.  The following summarizes the Plan's
    amended areas:

    (a)  Participant Contributions

         Participants can elect  for either a pretax reduction  or post-tax
         salary reduction  of one to a maximum of five  percent of total
         compensation as a participant contribution.

    (b)  Company Contributions

         Matching  contributions are  made by  the Company  on behalf  of each
         participant in  the  amount of  fifty percent  of the participant's
         contributions.

                          Independent Auditors' Report


The Trust Committee
Zions Bancorporation Employee
   Investment Savings Plan:


We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for
benefits of Zions Bancorporation Employee Investment Savings Plan as of
December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the related statements of changes in net assets
available for benefits for each of the years in the three-year period ended
December 31, 1993.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Plan's administrators.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by the plan's administrators, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of Zions
Bancorporation Employee Investment Savings Plan as of December 31, 1993 and
1992, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for each of the
years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1993, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

                         Notes to Financial Statements


                       December 31, 1993, 1992, and 1991



(1) Description of the Plan

    Zions Bancorporation Employee Investment Savings Plan (the Plan) is a
    single employer contributory plan that is designed to provide retirement
    benefits for eligible employees under a pretax salary reduction (deferral)
    arrangement and, if employees so elect, an opportunity to acquire stock
    ownership in Zions Bancorporation (the Company).


(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

    The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by
    the Plan in the preparation of its financial statements.

    (a)  Basis of Presentation

         The Plan's financial statements are presented on the accrual basis of
         accounting.

    (b)  Investments

         Investments in common stock of Zions Bancorporation, Fidelity mutual
         fund, and fixed income fund shares are carried at market value in the
         accompanying financial statements.  The investments in the money
         market fund and short-term investment fund represent cash equivalents.
         Purchases and sales of investments are recorded on a trade-date basis.

    (c)  Cost of Administration

         All costs of administration are absorbed by the Company.


(3) Eligibility

    Participation in the Plan is voluntary.  An employee is eligible to become
    a participant on January 1 or July 1, whichever coincides with, or
    immediately follows, the latter of the date on which the employee completes
    at least 1,000 hours of service during 12 continuous months and attains the
    age of 21.  At December 31, 1993 and 1992, there were 1,405 participants
    and 1,266 participants, respectively, in the Plan.

                         Notes to Financial Statements

(4) Employee and Company Contributions

    Participants may elect to contribute one to fifteen percent of their
    compensation to the Employee Investment Savings Plan, limited by
    participant contributions made to Zions Bancorporation Employee Stock
    Savings Plan.  The contributions are invested in one or more of the
    following investment options: (i) the Company's stock, (ii) the Fidelity
    mutual fund, (iii) a money market fund, and (iv) a fixed income fund.  The
    Company contributes an amount equal to 25 percent of the contribution made
    by each participant up to ten percent of their compensation with no match
    made on contributions in excess thereof.  The maximum amount a participant
    may contribute to the Plan in a calendar year is the lesser of fifteen
    percent of their compensation, or $8,994, for 1993.


(5) Allocation of Income or Loss

    Net appreciation (depreciation) in market value of investments, dividends,
    interest income, and capital gains are allocated to each participant's
    account in proportion to the investment shares held in that participant's
    account to the total investment shares held in the Plan.


(6) Vesting and Payment of Benefits

    Employee contributions and the employees' share of the Company
    contributions are 100 percent vested at all times.  Benefits are paid upon
    death, disability, retirement, or earlier subject to certain restrictions.
    Benefits are paid in shares of stock and/or cash pursuant to the nature of
    the investment vehicle selected by the participant.


(7) Income Taxes

    The Plan obtained its latest determination letter on November 5, 1985, in
    which the Internal Revenue Service stated that the Plan, as then designed,
    was in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue
    Code.  The Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter.
    The Company is in the process of obtaining a new letter for the Plan.
    However, the plan administrator and the Plan's tax counsel believe that the
    Plan is currently designed and being operated in compliance with the
    applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code.  Therefore, they
    believe that the Plan was qualified and the related trust was tax-exempt as
    of the financial statement date.
