banking subsidiary Vectra Bank. On May 22, 1998, the Company acquired FP
Bancorp, Inc. and its banking subsidiary First Pacific National Bank. On
September 8, 1998, the Company acquired The Commerce Bancorporation and its
banking subsidiary The Commerce Bank of Washington, N.A. All three acquisitions
were accounted for as poolings of interests and were considered significant.
Accordingly, prior year amounts have been restated. Certain amounts in the 1998
consolidated financial statements have also been reclassified to conform to the
1999 presentation. On October 1, 1998, the Company acquired The Sumitomo Bank of
California in a transaction accounted for as a purchase. In a purchase
transaction results of operations for the acquired entity are only included
subsequent to the acquisition date. Therefore, financial information as of June
30, 1999 and for the three months and six months ended June 30, 1999, can not be
compared directly with the correspondent information for 1998.
Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 1999 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31,
1999. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements
and footnotes thereto included in Zions Bancorporation's Annual Report to
Shareholders on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998.
Accounting Standards Not Adopted
In June 1998, the FASB issued Statement No. 133, Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities. Statement No. 133 establishes accounting and
reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative
instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. It requires
that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the
statement of financial position and measure those instruments at fair value. The
accounting for gains and losses of a derivative depends on the intended use of
the derivative and the resulting designation.
Under this statement, an entity that elects to apply hedge accounting is
required to establish at the inception of the hedge the method it will use for
assessing the effectiveness of the hedging derivative and the measurement
approach for determining the ineffective aspect of the hedge. Those methods must
be consistent with the entity's approach to managing risk. The original
effective date of this statement, as amended by Statement No. 137, has been
delayed and it is now effective for all fiscal quarters of fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 2000, and should not be applied retroactively to
financial statements of prior periods. The Company is currently studying the
statement to determine its future effects.

ZIONS BANCORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
OPERATING RESULTS
Zions Bancorporation achieved record earnings for the quarter and six months
ended June 30, 1999. Consolidated net income for the second quarter of 1999 was
$52.8 million or $0.66 per diluted share, an increase of 60.1% and 50.0%,
respectively, over the restated $33.0 million or $0.44 earned in the second
quarter of 1998. Consolidated net income for the second quarter of 1999
increased 8.1% and 8.2%, respectively, from $48.9 million or $0.61 per diluted
share for the first quarter of 1999. The quarterly dividend per share increased
107.1% to $0.29 from $0.14 in the second quarter of 1998 and the first quarter
of 1999. As discussed in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, due to the
acquisition of The Sumitomo Bank of California on October 1, 1998 in a
transaction accounted for as a purchase, financial information for 1999 is not
directly comparable to 1998. Also, the restated 1998 results of operations
include pre-tax merger charges of approximately $8.4 million incurred by The
Commerce Bancorporation.
Consolidated net income was $101.7 million or $1.27 per diluted share for the
first six months of 1999, compared to the restated $72.0 million or $0.96 per
diluted share for the first six months of 1998, which constituted increases of
41.2% and 32.3% respectively.
The annualized return on average assets for the second quarter and for the first
six months of 1999 was 1.16% and 1.15% compared to the restated 1.12% and 1.24%,
respectively, in 1998, resulting in an annualized return on average common
shareholders' equity of 19.49% and 19.27% for the second quarter and for the
first six months of 1999, compared to the restated 15.90% and 18.20% for the
same periods of 1998. The Company's "efficiency ratio," or noninterest expenses
as a percentage of total taxable-equivalent net revenues for the second quarter
and for the first six months of 1999 was 63.34% and 63.56%, respectively,
compared to the restated 68.22% and 64.92% for the same periods of 1998.
The Company's second-quarter $19.8 million (60.1%) increase in earnings relative
to the restated same period a year ago reflects a $52.9 million (43.5%) increase
in net interest income, a $13.0 million (27.2%) increase in noninterest income,
partially offset by a $0.4 million (11.3%) increase in the provision for loan
losses, a $33.7 million (28.7%) increase in noninterest expenses and a $11.3
million (71.9%) increase in income tax expense.
The Company's $29.7 million (41.2%) increase in net income for the six-month
period ended June 30, 1999 compared to the restated similar period in 1998,
reflects a $103.2 million (43.3%) increase in net interest income, a $31.5
million (34.1%) increase in noninterest income, partially offset by a $1.0
million (15.3%) increase in the provision for loan losses, a $81.7 million
(37.5%) increase in noninterest expenses and a $20.1 million (59.4%) increase in
income tax expense.
OPERATING CASH EARNINGS RESULTS
The Company is also providing its earnings performance on an operating cash
basis since it believes that its cash performance is a better reflection of its
financial position and shareholder value creation as well as its ability to
support growth, pay dividends, and repurchase stock than reported net income.
Operating cash earnings are earnings before amortization of goodwill and core
deposit intangible assets and merger expenses.

ZIONS BANCORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Operating cash earnings for the quarter were $56.7 million or $0.71 per diluted
share, an increase of 28.6% and 22.4%, respectively, over the restated $44.1
million or $0.58 per diluted share earned in the second quarter of 1998.
Operating cash earnings for the second quarter of 1999 increased 8.1% over the
$52.5 million earned during the first quarter of 1999. Operating cash earnings
per diluted share for the second quarter of 1999 increased 7.6% over the $.66
for the first quarter of 1999. Year-to-date operating cash earnings were $109.2
million or $1.36 per diluted share, an increase of 25.6% and 17.2%,
respectively, over the restated $86.9 million or $1.16 per diluted share earned
in the first half of 1998.
The operating cash annualized return on average assets for the second quarter
and for the first six months of 1999 was 1.27% and 1.25% compared to the
restated 1.51% and 1.52%, respectively, in 1998. Operating cash annualized
return on average common shareholders' equity was 27.74% and 27.63% for the
second quarter and for the first six months of 1999, compared to the restated
26.72% and 28.04% for the same periods of 1998. The Company's cash efficiency
ratio for the second quarter and for the first six months of 1999 was 61.41% and
61.66%, respectively, compared to the restated 59.84% and 59.33% for the same
periods of 1998.
NET INTEREST INCOME AND INTEREST RATE SPREADS
Net interest income for the second quarter of 1999, adjusted to a fully
taxable-equivalent basis, increased 43.1% to $177.9 million compared to the
restated $124.4 million for the second quarter of 1998 and increased 4.7% from
$169.9 million for the first quarter of 1999. Net interest margin was 4.38% for
the second quarter of 1999, compared to 4.60% for the second quarter of 1998 and
4.39% for the first quarter of 1999. Six-month net interest income, on a fully
taxable-equivalent basis, was $347.8 million in 1999, an increase of 42.8%
compared to $243.5 million for the first six months of 1998. Net interest margin
for the first six months of 1999 was 4.39%, compared to 4.59% for the first six
months of 1998.
The yield on average earning assets decreased 36 basis points during the second
quarter of 1999 as compared to the second quarter of 1998, and decreased 1 basis
point from the first quarter of 1999. The average rate paid this quarter on
interest-bearing funds decreased 31 basis points from the second quarter of 1998
and decreased 2 basis points from the first quarter of 1999. Comparing the first
six months of 1999 with 1998, the yield on average earning assets decreased 41
basis points, while the cost of interest-bearing funds decreased by 38 basis
points.
The spread on average interest-bearing funds for the second quarter of 1999 was
3.74%, down from the 3.79% for the second quarter of 1998 and up from the 3.73%
for the first quarter of 1999. The spread on average interest-bearing funds for
the first six months of 1999 was 3.74% compared with 3.77% for the same period
in 1998.

The Company manages its earnings sensitivity to interest rate movements, in
part, by matching the repricing characteristics of its assets and liabilities
and through the use of off-balance sheet arrangements such as caps, floors and
interest rate exchange contracts. Net interest income from the use of such
off-balance sheet arrangements for the first six months of 1999 was $5.4 million
compared to $2.7 million for the first six months of 1998.
PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES
The provision for loan losses increased 11.3% to $3.6 million for the second
quarter of 1999, as compared with $3.3 million for the second quarter of 1998,
and decreased 14.1% from the $4.2 million for the first quarter of 1999. The
provision for loan losses for the first six months of 1999 totaled $7.9 million,
15.3% more than the $6.8 million provision for the first six months of 1998.
Annualized it is .15% of average loans for 1999 compared to .23% for 1998.
NONINTEREST INCOME
Noninterest income for the second quarter of 1999 was $60.7 million, an increase
of 27.2% from the $47.8 million for the second quarter of 1998 and a decrease of
4.1% over the $63.3 million for the first quarter of 1999. Primary contributors
to the increase in noninterest income were service charges on deposit accounts;
other service charges, commissions and fees; trust income; underwriting and
trading income; and other income. Comparing the segments of noninterest income
for the second quarter of 1999 and the second quarter of 1998 service charges on
deposit accounts increased 37.3%; other service charges, commissions and fees
increased 32.0%; trust income increased 89.1%; underwriting and trading income
increased 47.2%; loan sales and servicing income increased 4.0%; and other
income increased 79.3%. Net gains of $0.2 million on the sale of investment
securities was realized during the second quarter of 1999 compared to net gains
of $2.2 million during the second quarter of 1998. The increase in underwriting
and trading income reflects the Company's commencement of providing online
executable bond sales over Bloomberg and the Internet and the underwriting of
municipal revenue bonds. The increase in other income includes approximately
$1.7 million of income from investments in bank owned life insurance policies,
and income from nonmarketable securities previously classified as securities
income.
Noninterest income for the six months ending June 30, 1999 was $124.1 million,
an increase of 34.1% over $92.6 million for the first six months of 1998.
Comparing the segments of noninterest income for the first six months of 1999
and the first six months of 1998, service charges on deposit accounts increased
34.7%; other service charges, commissions and fees increased 34.0%; trust income
increased 87.2%; underwriting and trading income increased 75.3%; loan sales and
servicing income increased 17.8%; and other income increased 101.7%. Net losses
of $1.1 million on the sale of investment securities was realized during the
first six months of 1999 compared to net gains of $3.0 million during the first
six months of 1998. The main reasons for the increase in other income are $3.3
million of income from investments in bank owned life insurance policies in 1999
and income from nonmarketable equity securities previously classified as
securities income.

increased 27.0% which included significant increases in legal and professional
services, postage, advertising, amortization of goodwill and core deposit
intangible assets and other expenses. Restated merger related expenses decreased
$10.9 million mainly due to approximately $8.4 million of expenses incurred by
The Commerce Bancorporation during the second quarter of 1998.
Noninterest expense for the six months ending June 30, 1999 was $299.9 million,
an increase of 37.5% over $218.2 million for the first six months of 1998.

increased 31.6% which included significant increases for legal and professional
services, postage, advertising, amortization of goodwill and core deposit

The increase in noninterest expense in 1999 resulted primarily from
acquisitions, including the acquisition of The Sumitomo Bank of California in a
purchase transaction, expansion of business lines and investment in personnel in
selected areas to enhance future revenue growth. At June 30, 1999, the Company
had 6,601 full time equivalent employees, 341 offices and 472 ATMs compared to

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

RISK ELEMENTS
The Company's nonperforming assets, which include nonaccruing loans,
restructured loans, other real estate owned and other nonperforming assets, were
$58 million on June 30, 1999, down from $64 million on December 31, 1998, and up
from $29 million on June 30, 1998. Such nonperforming assets as a percentage of
net loans and leases, other real estate owned and other nonperforming assets
were .53%, .60% and .47% on June 30, 1999, December 31, 1998, and June 30, 1998,
respectively.
Accruing loans past due 90 days or more totaled $27 million on June 30, 1999, up
from $26 million on December 31, 1998, and up from $18 million on June 30, 1998.
These loans equaled .25% of net loans and leases on June 30, 1999, as compared
to .24% on December 31, 1998 and .29% on June 30, 1998.
No loans to borrowers were considered potential problems at June 30, 1999,
December 31, 1998 and June 30, 1998. Potential problem loans are defined as
loans presently on accrual, not contractually past due 90 days or more and not
restructured, but about which management has serious doubt as to the future
ability of the borrower to comply with present repayment terms and which may
result in the reporting of the loans as nonperforming assets.
The Company's total recorded investment in impaired loans included in nonaccrual
loans and leases, amounted to $36 million on June 30, 1999, as compared to $41
million on December 31, 1998, and $16 million on June 30, 1998. The Company
considers a loan to be impaired when the accrual of interest has been
discontinued and it meets other criteria under the statements. The amount of the
impairment is measured based on the present value of expected cash flows, the
observable market price of the loan, or the fair value of the collateral.
Impairment losses are included in the allowance for loan losses through a
provision for loan losses. Included in the allowance for loan losses on June 30,
1999, December 31, 1998, and June 30, 1998, is a required allowance of $16
million, $5 million and $1 million, respectively, on $21 million, $12 million

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

$13,321 million on December 31, 1998. Comparing June 30, 1999 to December 31,
1998, demand deposits, time deposits under $100,000, time deposits over $100,000
and foreign deposits decreased 2.9%, 17.2%, 29.4% and 19.8%, respectively, while
savings and money market deposits increased 12.1%.
LIQUIDITY AND INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY
The Company manages its liquidity to provide adequate funds to meet its
financial obligations, including withdrawals by depositors and debt service
requirements, as well as to fund customers' demand for credit. Liquidity is
primarily provided by the regularly scheduled maturities of the Company's
investment and loan portfolios. The Company's liquidity is enhanced by the fact
that cash, money market securities and liquid investments, net of short-term or
"purchased" liabilities and wholesale deposits, totaled $1,254 million or 10.6%
of core deposits on June 30, 1999.
The Company's core deposits, consisting of demand, savings and money market
deposits and time deposits under $100,000, constituted 90.5% of total deposits
on June 30, 1999 as compared to 87.0% on December 31, 1998 and 90.4% on June 30,
1998.
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 issuance allows the Company to
take advantage of market opportunities to meet funding needs at reasonable cost.
The parent company's cash requirements consist primarily of debt service,
dividends to shareholders, operating expenses, income taxes, and share
repurchases. The parent company's cash needs are routinely satisfied through
payments by subsidiaries of dividends, management and other fees, principal and
interest payments on subsidiary borrowings from the parent company.
Interest rate risk is the most significant market risk regularly undertaken by
Company. The Company believes there have been no significant changes in market
risk compared to the disclosures in Zions Bancorporation's Annual Report to
Shareholders on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998.

ZIONS BANCORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
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. The Company assesses its interest rate
sensitivity using duration, and simulation analysis. Duration is a measure of
the weighted average expected lives of the discounted cash flows from assets and
liabilities. Simulation is used to estimate net interest income over time using
alternative interest rate scenarios.
The Company, through the management of maturities and repricing of its assets
and liabilities and the use of off-balance sheet arrangements such as interest
rate caps, floors, futures, options, and interest rate exchange agreements,
attempts to minimize the effect on net income of changes in interest rates. The
Company's management exercises its best judgment in making assumptions with
respect to loan and security prepayments, early deposit withdrawals and other
noncontrollable events in managing the Company's exposure to changes in interest
rates. The interest rate risk position is actively managed and changes daily as
the interest rate environment changes; therefore, positions at the end of any
period may not be reflective of the Company's interest rate position in
subsequent periods. The prime lending rate is the primary basis used for pricing
the Company's loans and the short-term Treasury rate is the index used for
pricing many of the Company's deposits. The Company, however, is unable to
economically hedge the prime/91-day T-bill spread risk through the use of
off-balance sheet financial instruments.
CAPITAL RESOURCES AND DIVIDENDS
Total shareholders' equity on June 30, 1999 was $1,091 million, an increase of
7.7% over the $1,014 million on December 31, 1998, and an increase of 15.2% over
the $947 million on June 30, 1998. The ratio of average equity to average assets
for the first six months of 1999 was 5.96% as compared to 6.80% for the same
period in 1998. On June 30, 1999, the Company's Tier I risk-based capital ratio
was 8.76%, as compared to 8.46% on December 31, 1998 and 13.01% on June 30,
1998. On June 30, 1999 the Company's total risk-based capital ratio was 11.72%,
as compared to 11.48% on December 31, 1998 and 16.21% on June 30, 1998. The
Company's leverage ratio on June 30, 1999 was 6.06%, as compared to 5.98% on
December 31, 1998 and 8.33% on June 30, 1998.
Dividends declared per common share for the second quarter of 1999 of $.29
increased 107.1%, as compared to $.14 for the second quarter of 1998 and the
first quarter of 1999. The common cash dividend payout of net income for the
first six months of 1999 was 33.42%, as compared to 26.12% for the first six
months of 1998.
During the first six months of 1999, the Company repurchased and retired 15,382
shares of its common stock at a cost of $966 thousand.

MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS
On April 27, 1999, the Company announced a definitive agreement to merge with
Regency Bancorp of Fresno, California in exchange for common shares of Zions.
Regency Bancorp's banking subsidiary, Regency Bank, will then merge into Zions'
subsidiary, California Bank & Trust. As of March 31, 1999, Regency Bancorp had
total assets of approximately $228 million. The merger is intended to be
accounted for as a pooling of interests and is expected to close in the third
quarter, subject to the approval of banking regulators and the shareholders of
Regency Bancorp.
On May 7, 1999, the Company announced a definitive agreement to merge with
Pioneer Bancorporation of Reno, Nevada in a stock transaction valued at
approximately $340.8 million. Pioneer Bancorporation's subsidiary, Pioneer
Citizens Bank of Nevada, will merge into Zions' subsidiary, Nevada State Bank,
creating the third largest bank in the state. As of March 31, 1999, Pioneer
Bancorporation had total assets of approximately $1,077 million. The transaction
is expected to close in the third quarter and is intended to be accounted for as
a pooling of interests.
See Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of a pending
merger with First Security Corporation announced during the second quarter of
1999.
YEAR 2000
A number of electronic systems utilize a two-digit field for year references,
e.g., 98 for 1998. Such systems may compute that the year 2000, if represented
as 00, to be 99 years ago rather than one year hence. If these systems are not
corrected prior to December 31, 1999, many processing failures could result.
This section describes the status of the Company's efforts to correct these
system deficiencies.
State of Readiness. The Company has completed its mission-critical Year 2000
Program efforts; however, it expects to continue to test its systems until year
end and conduct additional remediation for systems that are modified until that
time. The Company is also assessing the operability of other devices after 1999,
including vaults, fax machines, stand-alone personal computers, security systems
and elevators. Although the Company does not believe that the failure of these
systems would have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the
enterprise, it is addressing deficiencies in these systems and expects
compliance to be achieved by September 30, 1999.
Costs. In order to achieve and confirm Year 2000 readiness, significant costs
have been incurred to test and modify or replace computer software and hardware,
as well as a variety of other items, e.g., ATMs. The Company believes that its
remediation costs have been mitigated since it replaced the large majority of
its core banking systems during the past five years with Year 2000 compliant
software in the ordinary course of business. However, the considerable effort
required to implement new software and sufficiently test its compliance has
consumed a substantial portion of the Company's internal information technology
resources. This diversion of resources to the Year 2000 project has resulted in
delays in implementing enhancements to a number of the Company's systems and
products. The Company does not believe, however, that these delays have had a
significant effect on its revenue or expense growth. The aggregate increase in
operating expense to achieve Year 2000 readiness is estimated to be
approximately $3 million, which has been incurred through June 30, 1999. In
addition, a significant portion of the Company's ATMs and personal computers are
expected to be replaced during the third quarter to achieve Year 2000
compliance. The capital outlay to replace these assets is estimated to be
between $3 to $4 million, a portion of which would have been incurred in the
ordinary course of business without regard to Year 2000 issues.

ZIONS BANCORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Risks. If the Company's mission-critical applications are not compliant by 2000,
it may not be able to correctly process transactions in a reasonable period of
time. This scenario could result in a wide variety of claims against the Company
for improper handling of its assets and deposits and other borrowings from its
customers. The Company is also at risk if the credit worthiness of a few of its
large borrowers, or a significant number of its small borrowers, were to
deteriorate quickly and severely as a result of their inability to conduct
business operations after December 31, 1999, for whatever reason. The Company
has surveyed and reviewed the Year 2000 plans of a number of its credit
customers to ascertain the sufficiency of their remediation efforts and the
implications of their actions on their credit worthiness. From this review, the
Company believes that the increased credit risk that the Company may experience
as a result of the Year 2000 issue will not have a material adverse effect its
financial condition. The Company explicitly disclaims, however, any obligation
or liability for the completeness, or lack thereof, of its customers' Year 2000
remediation plans or actions.
Contingency Plans. The Company has developed business resumption plans for each
significant business unit in the event that unforeseen events beyond the
Company's control adversely impact our ability to provide financial services to
our customers. In the event of such a failure, these plans outline the steps
that will be taken to minimize the impact to customers and losses to the
Company.
Forward-Looking Information
Statements in Management's Discussion and Analysis that are not based on
historical data are forward-looking, including, for example, the projected
performance of Zions and its operations. These statements constitute
forward-looking information within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Actual results may differ materially from the
projections discussed in Management's Discussion and Analysis since such
projections involve significant risks and uncertainties. Factors that might
cause such differences include, but are not limited to: the timing of closing
proposed acquisitions being delayed or such acquisitions being prohibited,
competitive pressures among financial institutions increasing significantly;
economic conditions, either nationally or locally in areas in which Zions
conducts its operations, being less favorable than expected; legislation or
regulatory changes which adversely affect the Company's operations or business;
the cost and effort required to correct Year 2000 processing deficiencies being
greater than expected due to the difficulty attracting and retaining qualified
systems personnel or vendor-supplied software releases being delayed or not
functioning properly. Zions disclaims any obligation to update any such factors
or to publicly announce the results of any revisions to any of the
forward-looking statements included herein to reflect future events or
developments.
