99.1          An unaudited interim balance sheet as of the interim period ended
              June 30, 1998 and unaudited statements of income and cash flows
              for the interim period ended June 30, 1998 of The Sumitomo Bank of
              California (incorporated by reference to the Quarterly Report on
              Form 10-Q filed by The Sumitomo Bank of California for the period
              ended June 30, 1998).

99.2          Unaudited summary pro forma condensed balance sheet information as
              of June 30, 1998 and income statement information for the year

            ZIONS BANCORPORATION AND THE SUMITOMO BANK OF CALIFORNIA
               PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
                                   (unaudited)


         The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial
statements were prepared to give effect to the October 1, 1998 acquisition of
The Sumitomo Bank of California (Sumitomo) by Zions Bancorporation (Zions) and
the related June 10, 1998 common stock issuance using the purchase method of
accounting and the assumptions described in the accompanying notes. The
unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet is based upon the
consolidated balance sheet of Zions and the balance sheet of Sumitomo as of June
30, 1998, as if the acquisition had occurred on that date. The unaudited pro
forma condensed combined statements of income are based on the consolidated
statements of income of Zions and the statements of income of Sumitomo for the
year ended December 31, 1997 and the six months ended June 30, 1998 as if the
acquisition and issuance of shares had occurred on January 1, 1997. The
Company's balance sheet as of June 30, 1998 and statements of income for the
year ended December 31, 1997 and the six months ended June 30, 1998 have been
restated to reflect the acquisitions of Vectra Banking Corporation, FP Bancorp,
Inc. and The Commerce Bancorporation which were consummated during 1998 and
accounted for as poolings of interests.

         For purposes of the pro forma condensed combined financial statements,
it has been assumed that the net book value of Sumitomo's assets minus
liabilities approximates fair value. When actual fair values have been
determined, Sumitomo's assets and liabilities will be recorded at their fair
value which will change the allocation of purchase price and the related
amortization from that reflected in the pro forma condensed combined financial
statements.

         The pro forma condensed combined financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated historical financial statements of Zions,
including the respective notes thereto, and the historical financial statements
of Sumitomo, including the respective notes thereto, which are incorporated by
reference. The pro forma information is presented for comparative purposes only
and is not necessarily indicative of the combined financial position or results
of operations in the future. The pro forma condensed combined financial
statements do not give effect to merger expenses related to the transaction or
anticipated cost savings resulting from the consolidation of operating
functions. The pro forma condensed combined financial statements are also not
necessarily indicative of the combined financial position or results of
operations which would have been realized had the acquisition been consummated
during the periods or as of the date for which the pro forma financial
statements are presented.

            ZIONS BANCORPORATION AND THE SUMITOMO BANK OF CALIFORNIA
           NOTES TO PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)


NOTE A: BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of June 30,
1998, combines the historical consolidated balance sheet of Zions Bancorporation
(Zions) and the historical balance sheet of The Sumitomo Bank of California
(Sumitomo) as if the acquisition had taken place on June 30, 1998. The pro forma
condensed combined statements of income for the year ended December 31, 1997,
and the six months ended June 30, 1998, combine the historical consolidated
statements of income for Zions and the historical statements of income for
Sumitomo as if the acquisition had been consummated on January 1, 1997.

         The Company's balance sheet as of June 30, 1998 and statements of
income for the year ended December 31, 1997 and the six months ended June 30,
1998 have been restated to reflect the acquisitions of Vectra Banking
Corporation, FP Bancorp, Inc. and The Commerce Bancorporation which were
consummated during 1998 and accounted for as poolings of interests.

         The acquisition of Sumitomo will be accounted for as a purchase. Under
this method of accounting the assets and liabilities of Sumitomo will be
adjusted to their estimated fair values and combined with the recorded book
values of the assets and liabilities of Zions. For purposes of the pro forma
financial statements, it has been assumed that the net book value of Sumitomo's
assets minus liabilities approximates fair value.

NOTE B: PURCHASE PRICE AND FUNDING

         The purchase price is based upon cash consideration of $546 million
paid for the outstanding shares of Sumitomo. Sumitomo's parent, The Sumitomo
Bank, Limited, received approximately $453 million ($32.36 per share) and other
shareholders received approximately $93 million ($38.25 per share).

         The transaction was financed through a combination of existing
resources and the proceeds from the issuance of securities in the capital
markets as follows: (in millions)

       Issuance of Zion's common stock on June 10, 1998
            for cash, net of issuance costs of $6 million       $130
       Reduction of money market investment balances             383
       Proceeds from sale of minority interest in Sumitomo        33
                                                                ----
                 Total purchase price                           $546
                                                                ====

         Zions sold a minority interest of Sumitomo to a Robert G. Sarver, a
director of Zions and chairman of Grossmont Bank, and to a limited partnership
of which Mr. Sarver is the general partner, at its cost basis. Proceeds from the
sale of the minority interest were approximately $33 million for an approximate
10.8% common equity interest in Sumitomo after the payment of a $250 million
dividend by Sumitomo to Zions. The pro forma condensed combined statement of
income for the year ended December 31, 1997 includes a pro forma adjustment to
other noninterest expense of $2.3 million for the minority interest
shareholder's estimated 10.8% portion of Sumitomo's pro forma net income
applicable to common stock. An adjustment is not included for the six months
ended June 30, 1998 since Sumitomo's adjusted pro forma net income approximates
zero. Pro forma adjustments to the condensed combined balance sheet as of June
30, 1998 include an increase in other liabilities of $33 million for the sale of
the minority interest.

            ZIONS BANCORPORATION AND THE SUMITOMO BANK OF CALIFORNIA
     NOTES TO PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
                                   (unaudited)

         Zions has entered into an agreement with Mr. Sarver in order to provide
an  appropriate  incentive to expand Zions'  California  banking  operations and
distribution network.  Pursuant to the agreement, Mr. Sarver serves as the chief
executive  officer of  California  Bank & Trust,  a subsidiary  created from the
combination of Sumitomo,  Grossmont Bank, and First Pacific. While such minority
equity  interest  represents  approximately  10.8% of  Sumitomo,  it  amounts to
approximately  5% of the equity  interest in California  Bank & Trust after such
combination.  As part of the  agreement,  Mr.  Sarver and a limited  partnership
acquired  such 5% equity  interest  for its cost  basis,  or  approximately  $33
million. Mr. Sarver is the general partner of the limited  partnership,  and the
limited partners of such partnership include, among others,  individuals who are
senior officers of the California Bank & Trust.

         Zions also agreed to finance a portion of the investment  being made by
Mr. Sarver.  Zions loaned to Mr. Sarver approximately $14.8 million. The loan is
non-recourse  to Mr.  Sarver and is secured by the 2.5%  equity  interest in the
California Bank & Trust held by Mr. Sarver and by 200,000 shares of Zions common
stock owned by Mr. Sarver.  The loan bears interest at 200 basis points over the
five year U.S. Treasury rate,  compounded annually and is payable at maturity in
2003.  At  maturity,  for a  period  of 90  days,  Mr.  Sarver  and the  limited
partnership  have the right to put to Zions their equity  interest in California
Bank & Trust at a price to be determined by Mr. Sarver and Zions at such time.

         The pro forma  condensed  combined  statements  of income  for the year
ended December 31, 1997 and the six months ended June 30, 1998 include pro forma
adjustments of $1.1 million and $0.6 million, respectively,  increasing interest
and fees on loans for the interest income on the loan. Pro forma  adjustments to
increase  loans $15 million and decrease  money market  investments  $15 for the
loan  funding are also  included  in the pro forma  condensed  combined  balance
sheet.

         Money market  investments  have been reduced on the pro forma condensed
combined  balance  sheet by $539  million,  $524  million of which  represents a
portion of the total pro forma cash purchase price including  acquisition  costs
and $15  million  of which  represents  the  funding  of the loan to Mr.  Sarver
Interest  on  money  market  investments  in the pro  forma  condensed  combined
statements  of income for the year ended  December  31,  1997 and the six months
ended  June 30,  1998 have been  reduced  by $23.9  million  and $11.9  million,
respectively,  representing  the lost  interest on the money market  investments
determined  using the combined  average rate earned on money market  investments
during the periods.

         Pro forma weighted average common shares and pro forma weighted average
common and  common-equivalent  shares outstanding during the year ended December
31, 1997 and the six months  ended June 30, 1998 have been  increased to reflect
the  issuance of 2,760,000  shares of common  stock in a public  stock  offering
completed on June 10, 1998 to partly finance the acquisition.

NOTE C: PURCHASE PREMIUM

         The purchase  premium  resulting from the acquisition  reflected in the
accompanying pro forma condensed  combined balance sheet as of June 30, 1998 was
determined as follows: (in millions)


     Total cash consideration paid for common stock of Sumitomo      $546
     Acquisition costs                                                 11
                                                                     ----
        Subtotal                                                      557
     Common shareholders' equity of Sumitomo                          429
                                                                     ----
        Subtotal                                                      128
     Deferred tax asset adjustment                                     10
                                                                     ----
        Total purchase premium adjustment                            $118
                                                                     ====

         For  purposes  of these  pro  forma  financial  statements  it has been
assumed  that  the  net  book  value  of  Sumitomo's  assets  minus  liabilities
approximates  fair value.  Accordingly  the cost of the acquisition in excess of
Sumitomo's  common  equity,  net of a $10 million  adjustment  of  deferred  tax
assets,  is reflected in the accompanying  pro forma condensed  combined balance
sheet as purchase  premium.  The amortization of the purchase premium in the pro
forma condensed combined statements of income in the amounts of $4.7 million for
the year ended  December 31, 1997 and $2.4 million for the six months ended June
30, 1998 have been determined  using an amortization  life of 25 years.  Certain
matters are still pending that will have an effect on the ultimate allocation of
the purchase  price.  Accordingly,  the allocation of the purchase price has not
been finalized.

NOTE D: MERGER EXPENSE

         Estimated nonrecurring merger expenses of approximately $25 million are
expected to be incurred  during the fourth  quarter of 1998.  These expenses are
not included in the pro forma condensed combined statements of income.
