report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998.

NOTE 2 - BUSINESS COMBINATIONS


         On April 19, 1999, the Company completed the purchase of 15 branches in
Arizona from Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. These branches, primarily in the Phoenix
area, added approximately $400 million in deposits. The transaction was

         On October 20, 1999, the Company completed the acquisition of Hartland

Intangible assets resulting from the purchase totaled $65 million.

         On July 26, 1999, the Company signed a definitive agreement to merge
with Western Bancshares, Inc. in Albuquerque, New Mexico, with assets of $285
million and equity of $34 million. Based on the Company's closing stock price on
the date prior to the signing of the definitive agreement, the merger is valued
at approximately $88 million. It is anticipated that the transaction will close
during the first quarter of 2000 and will be accounted for under the
pooling-of-interests method of accounting.

         On November 4, 1999, the Company signed a definitive agreement to merge
with MegaBank Financial Corporation in Denver, Colorado, with assets of $298
million and equity of $33 million. The Company will acquire all of the

definitive agreement, the merger is valued at approximately $94 million. It is
anticipated that the transaction will close during the second quarter of 2000
and will be accounted for under the pooling-of-interests method of accounting.

NOTE 3 - CAPITAL SECURITIES

         In January 1997, the Company formed a wholly owned Delaware statutory
business trust, Compass Trust I, which issued $100 million of guaranteed
preferred beneficial interests in the Company's junior subordinated deferrable
interest debentures ("Capital Securities") that qualify as Tier I capital under
Federal Reserve Board guidelines. All of the common securities of Compass Trust
I are owned by the Company. The proceeds from the issuance of the Capital
Securities ($100 million) and common securities ($3.1 million) were used by
Compass Trust I to purchase $103.1 million of junior subordinated deferrable
interest debentures of the Company which carry an interest rate of 8.23 percent.
The debentures represent the sole asset of Compass Trust I. The debentures and
related income statement effects are eliminated in the Company's financial
statements.

in whole (but not in part) at any time within 90 days following the occurrence
and during the continuation of a tax event or capital treatment event (as
defined in the offering circular and indenture). As specified in the indenture,
if the debentures are redeemed prior to maturity, the redemption price will be
the principal amount, any accrued but unpaid interest, plus a premium ranging
from 4.12 percent in 2007 to 0.41 percent in 2016.

NOTE 4 - STOCK SPLIT

         On February 16, 1999, the Company announced a three-for-two stock split
that was effected in the form of a 50 percent stock dividend on April 2, 1999,
to shareholders of record as of March 15, 1999. Stockholders' equity at
September 30, 1999, as presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, reflects
the issuance of 37,836,300 shares of the Company's common stock on April 2,
1999. Per share information for all periods has been restated to reflect the
stock split in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTE 5 - RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

         In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Financial Accounting Statement No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities, ("FAS133"). FAS133 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.
FAS133 will significantly change the accounting treatment of derivative
instruments and, depending upon the underlying risk management strategy, these
accounting changes could affect future earnings, assets, liabilities, and
shareholders' equity. As a result, the Company may reconsider its risk
management strategies since the new standard would not reflect the results of
many of those strategies in the same manner as current accounting practice. The
Company is presently evaluating the impact of FAS133 on its computer systems and
accounting policies and is also closely monitoring the deliberations of the
FASB's derivative implementation task force. With the issuance of Financial
Accounting Statement No. 137, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities- Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133, which
delayed the effective date of FAS133, the Company will be required to adopt
FAS133 on January 1, 2001. Presently, the Company has not yet quantified the
impact that the adoption will have on the consolidated financial statements of
the Company.

FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

    This report may contain forward-looking statements which are subject to
numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties. Statements pertaining to future
periods are subject to uncertainty because of the possibility of changes in
underlying factors and assumptions. Actual results could differ materially from
those contained in or implied by such forward-looking statements for a variety
of reasons including: sharp and/or rapid changes in interest rates; significant
changes in the economic scenario from the current anticipated scenario which
could materially change anticipated credit quality trends and the ability to
generate loans; significant delay in or inability to execute strategic
initiatives designed to grow revenues and/or control expenses; unforeseen
business risks related to Year 2000 computer systems issues; and significant
changes in accounting, tax, or regulatory practices or requirements.

OVERVIEW

    Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 1999, increased 14 percent to
$55.0 million while diluted earnings per share increased 14 percent to $0.48 per
share. Net interest income increased 11 percent to $163.3 million from the third
quarter of 1998. Noninterest income increased 6 percent to $59.1 million while
noninterest expense increased 8 percent to $131.4 million.

    For the first nine months of 1999, net income increased 14 percent to $161.7
million and diluted earnings per share increased 14 percent to $1.40 per share.
Net interest income for the nine months grew to $476.2 million, an increase of
11 percent, while noninterest income and noninterest expense increased 5 percent
and 8 percent, respectively.

NET INTEREST INCOME


    Net interest income for the quarter ended September 30, 1999, increased
$15.8 million over the third quarter of 1998 to $163.3 million with interest
income and interest expense increasing $27.2 million and $11.4 million,
respectively. The increase in interest income was primarily due to an increase
in average earning assets of $2.1 billion, or 15 percent, partially offset by a
38 basis point decrease in the average yield on earning assets from 8.09 percent
to 7.71 percent. Average loans, excluding the impact of branch purchases and
securitizations, grew 20 percent from the third quarter of 1998. On a reported
basis, average loans increased 8 percent from the third quarter of 1998. The
average balance of investment securities available for sale increased 52
percent, or $1.5 billion, due principally to retained securitized loans. The 8
percent increase in interest expense during the quarter was a result of a $1.8
billion increase in average interest bearing liabilities, primarily savings
accounts and FHLB and other borrowings, offset by a 29 basis point decrease in
the rate paid on interest bearing liabilities.

    For the first nine months of 1999, net interest income increased 11 percent,
or $48.4 million, to $476.2 million consisting of an $83.4 million increase in
interest income and a $35.0 million increase in interest expense. The increase
in interest income was due to a 17 percent increase in average earning assets
partially offset by a decline in the yield on earning assets of 47 basis points,
to 7.69 percent from 8.16 percent. The average balance of investment securities
available for sale for the first nine months of 1999 increased $1.4 billion over
the comparable 1998 period due to the factors discussed previously. A $2.0
billion increase in average interest bearing liabilities combined with a 35
basis point decline in the rate paid on interest bearing liabilities resulted in
a 9 percent increase in interest expense.

NET INTEREST MARGIN

    Net interest margin, stated as a percentage, is the yield on average earning
assets obtained by dividing the difference between the overall interest income
on earning assets and the interest expense paid on all funding sources by
average earning assets. For the third quarter of 1999, the net interest margin,
on a tax-equivalent basis, was 3.99 percent compared to 4.13 percent for the
same period in 1998. For the nine months ended September 30, 1999, net interest
margin decreased 19 basis points from 4.18 percent in the prior year to 3.99
percent. These decreases resulted from the changes in rates and volumes of
earning assets and the corresponding funding sources noted previously. The yield
on interest earning assets for the third quarter decreased 38 basis points,
including a 35 basis point decrease in the yield on loans, while the cost on
interest bearing liabilities decreased 29 basis points. Similarly, a 46 basis
point decrease in the yield on loans contributed to a 47 basis point decline in
the yield on interest earning assets for the first nine months of 1999 while the
cost of interest bearing liabilities decreased 35 basis points.

    During the third quarter of 1999, the Company's net interest margin was
positively impacted by the Company's use of interest rate contracts, increasing
taxable equivalent net interest margin by 9 basis points as compared to a 6
basis point impact for the same period in 1998. For the nine months ended
September 30, 1999, the Company's use of interest rate contracts increased the
Company's net interest margin by 9 basis points, up slightly from 7 basis points
during the first nine months of 1998.

    The following tables detail the components of the changes in net interest
income (on a tax-equivalent basis) by major category of interest earning assets
and interest bearing liabilities for the nine month and three month periods
ended September 30, 1999, as compared to the comparable periods of 1998 (in
thousands):

NONINTEREST INCOME AND NONINTEREST EXPENSE

    During the third quarter of 1999, noninterest income increased $3.2 million,
or 6 percent, to $59.1 million, due primarily to a $4.1 million increase in
service charges on deposit accounts offset by a $1.1 million decrease in trading
account profits and commissions and a $1.9 million decrease in securities gains.
Noninterest income for the first nine months of 1999 increased $8.5 million, or
5 percent, to $174.7 million as a result of a 14 percent increase in service
charges on deposit accounts, a 13 percent increase in retail investment sales
income, and an 8 percent increase in other noninterest income offset by a 22
percent decrease in trading account profits and commissions, a 50 percent
decrease in securities gains, and a $4.3 million gain that was realized in the
second quarter of 1998 with the securitization and sale of indirect automobile
loans. The increase in service charges on deposit accounts was due to the
increase in deposits while the increase in other noninterest income was due to
increased credit card fees and servicing income related to the Company's loan
securitizations.

    Noninterest expense increased $9.2 million, or 8 percent, during the third
quarter and $26.8 million, or 8 percent, during the first nine months of 1999,
primarily due to increased salaries, benefits and commissions expense, equipment
expense, and other noninterest expense. Salaries, benefits and commissions
expense increased during the third quarter and first nine months of the year by
6 percent and 7 percent, respectively, due in part to an increase in personnel
related to the Company's branch acquisition in April 1999. Equipment expense
increased during the third quarter and first nine months of the year by 9
percent and 12 percent, respectively, due to increased computer equipment
depreciation and software amortization. Other noninterest expense increased 22
percent during the third quarter of 1999 and 14 percent during the first nine
months of the year due in part to additional amortization of intangibles
associated with the Company's branch acquisition in April 1999. During the first
nine months of 1999 the Company completed the acquisition of 15 branches
compared to the four mergers completed during the same period for 1998. The
result was a decrease in mergers and integration costs, down $3 million or 43
percent, during the first nine months of 1999.

INCOME TAXES

    Income tax expense increased by $12.3 million, or 17 percent, during the
first nine months of 1999 compared to the same period in 1998 as pretax income
increased 15 percent. The effective tax rate for the first nine months of 1999
was 34.3 percent, up from the 33.7 percent effective tax rate for the same
period in 1998.

PROVISION AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

    The provision for loan losses for the nine months ended September 30, 1999,
decreased $2.3 million from the same period in 1998. Net loan charge-offs
expressed as an annualized percentage of average loans for the first nine months
of 1999 were 0.28 percent, down from 0.34 percent for the first nine months of
1998. Management considers changes in the size and character of the loan
portfolio, changes in nonperforming and past due loans, historical loan loss
experience, the existing risk of individual loans, concentrations of loans to
specific borrowers or industries and existing and prospective economic
conditions when determining the adequacy of the loan loss allowance. The
allowance for loan losses at September 30, 1999, was $139.9 million. The ratio
of the allowance for loan losses to loans outstanding was 1.36 percent at
September 30, 1999, up slightly from 1.35 percent at December 31, 1998.

NONPERFORMING ASSETS AND PAST DUE LOANS

    Nonperforming assets, comprised of nonaccrual loans, renegotiated loans and
other real estate owned, totaled $56.1 million at September 30, 1999, relatively
unchanged from December 31, 1998, as nonaccrual loans increased $1.6 million, or
3 percent. At September 30, 1999, the allowance for loan losses as a percentage
of nonperforming loans was 279 percent, unchanged from December 31, 1998. The
allowance for loan losses as a percentage of nonperforming assets increased from
246 percent at December 31, 1998, to 249 percent at September 30, 1999.

    Nonperforming assets as a percentage of total loans and other real estate
owned remained unchanged at 0.55 percent at September 30, 1999 from December 31,
1998. The amount recorded in other repossessed assets at September 30, 1999, was
$1.3 million, down 25 percent from $1.8 million at


                                      -16-
<PAGE>   17


December 31, 1998. Loans past due ninety days or more but still accruing
interest increased 37 percent from $8.7 million at December 31, 1998, to $12.0
million at September 30, 1999. The increase in the level of loans past due
ninety days or more was concentrated in the commercial and consumer portfolios.

    As discussed in the Company's 1998 Form 10-K, approximately three percent of
the Company's loan portfolio is represented by loans to energy-related companies
that are dependent on oil and natural gas production as a source of repayment.
The low level of energy prices during the latter half of 1998 adversely impacted
this segment of the Company's portfolio. While energy prices have rebounded
during the first nine months of 1999, this segment of the portfolio continues to
experience considerable stress as a result of an extended period of depressed
oil prices.

    The Company regularly monitors selected accruing loans for which general
economic conditions or changes within a particular industry could cause the
borrowers financial difficulties. This continuous monitoring of the loan
portfolio and the related identification of loans with a high degree of credit
risk are essential parts of the Company's credit management. Management
continues to emphasize maintaining a low level of nonperforming assets and
returning current nonperforming assets to an earning status.

YEAR 2000 ISSUES

    The Company initiated a program in 1997 to review all of the computer
systems of the Company in order to determine whether the systems were Year 2000
compliant. This study not only involved identifying any required modifications
or replacements of certain hardware and software maintained by the Company, but
also receiving assurance from vendors that the appropriate actions have been
taken or are being taken by them to remedy their Year 2000 issues for computer
systems that the vendors are responsible for maintaining and that are relied
upon by the Company.

    As a financial institution, the Company's compliance has been closely
monitored by federal regulatory agencies which have completed four regular
quarterly examinations of the Company and its Year 2000 readiness in the past
twelve months. The Company is not aware of any existing regulatory restrictions
imposed on it by the federal regulatory authorities as a result of the Company's
current plan and implementation.

    The Company has identified its information technology ("IT") and non-IT
systems and has completed the assessment phase of each system's Year 2000
readiness. IT systems within the Company include mainframe computer
applications, including loan and deposit systems, while non-IT systems typically
include embedded technology, for example, microcontrollers in elevators. In
connection with the identification process, each system was classified as to its
importance within the Company with systems categorized in one of four
categories: mission critical, medium priority, low priority or immaterial.
Mission critical systems are those identified as vital to a core business
activity of the Company.

    For each IT and non-IT system that was assessed as Year 2000 compliant,
testing was performed to confirm compliance while for each system that was found
to be not Year 2000 compliant, a three-step plan involving renovation,
validation and implementation was developed to bring the system into compliance.
Renovation is comprised of modifying or replacing hardware and software in order
to make the system compliant (the "Renovation Phase"). Validation involves
testing the system to determine compliance after modification (the "Validation
Phase"). Implementation entails bringing the compliant system into production
(the "Implementation Phase"). As of September 30, 1999, none of the Company's
mission critical systems were in the Renovation Phase or Validation Phase with
all mission critical systems in the Implementation Phase.

    In addition, the Company is also taking appropriate actions to receive
assurance that its customers, principally commercial lending customers, are
taking necessary steps to address their Year 2000 issues due to the fact that
noncompliance could adversely effect their ability to repay borrowings to the
Company. The Company has evaluated the readiness of a majority of its commercial
lending customers as well as a substantial majority of its financial instrument
issuers, broker/dealer counterparties, and federal funds counterparties. Based
on these assessments, management currently believes that there is a low risk of
a material detrimental impact on the Company's results of operations and
financial position because of third party business disruptions or failures
related to Year 2000 events. The Company's

                                      -17-
<PAGE>   18

assessment of these parties will be ongoing throughout 1999
in order to identify any changes in third party readiness that could
negatively impact the Company.

   The Company expects to pay less than $25 million related to Year 2000
compliance and anticipates remaining additional payments of approximately
$1 million. A substantial portion of these costs have been or will be
capitalized in the installation of software and hardware and will be
amortized over the life of the related assets. There has been no material
increase in IT salaries expense due to Year 2000 compliance activities as
many of the system renovations have coincided with previously planned
system replacements or enhancements, the costs of which have been included
in the costs disclosed above. The deferral of certain other IT projects
in order to assure Year 2000 readiness has not had, and is not expected
to have, a material impact on the Company's financial condition and results
of operations.

   While a failure to achieve Year 2000 compliance with regard to the
Company's IT and non-IT systems could have an adverse impact on the
Company's results of operations and financial condition due to inability
to perform normal lending, investing and deposit gathering functions,
the Company has essentially completed its Year 2000 readiness at September
30, 1999, and believes that any impact of failure to achieve Year 2000
compliance with any of the Company's systems will be immaterial.

   The Company's contingency plans have concentrated on potential funding
needs that may arise if there are disruptions in the Company's normal
sources of funds as a result of Year 2000 events, including increased
withdrawals by depositors and the inability of corporate customers to
maintain their usual levels of deposits because of disruptions in their
business caused by Year 2000-related computer problems. The plan also
addresses the possibility that some of the Company's federal funds
counterparties may be unable to sell federal funds to the Company and
that some of the Company's downstream federal funds counterparties may
increase borrowing over normal levels. However, the Company's plan does
not address funding requirements arising from the systemic failure of
the financial system in the United States or globally. The Company's
plan also addresses other potential failures by third parties to fully
remedy their systems. This plan will be continually updated as more
information becomes available on the Year 2000 status of the Company's
funds providers and as additional, more diversified funding sources
are secured.

                              FINANCIAL CONDITION

OVERVIEW

   Total assets at September 30, 1999, were $17.7 billion, up from $17.3 billion
at December 31, 1998, due primarily to the acquisition of branches in April
1999, which was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. The
Company redeemed its outstanding Series F preferred stock of $17.3 million
during the first quarter of 1999. The Company plans to redeem its outstanding
Series E preferred stock of $11.5 million during the fourth quarter of 1999.

ASSETS AND FUNDING

   At September 30, 1999, earning assets totaled $16.4 billion, up from
$15.8 billion at December 31, 1998. The mix of earning assets shifted
moderately toward investment securities with total investment securities
comprising 36 percent of total earning assets at September 30, 1999, up
from 35 percent at December 31, 1998, due primarily to assets retained in
loan securitizations. Increases in interest bearing deposits resulting from
the branch acquisition discussed previously and FHLB and other borrowings
during the first nine months of 1999 offset a decrease in federal funds
purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase. At September
30, 1999, deposits accounted for 72 percent of the Company's funding, up
from 69 percent at year-end.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

   Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $309 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 1999. Net cash used by investing activities
of $520 million consisted of $963 million in purchases of investment
securities available for sale and a $1.2 billion increase in loans outstanding
offset by proceeds from maturities of investment securities of $356 million,
proceeds from maturities of securities available for sale of $786 million,
proceeds from sales of securities available for sale of $325 million, and
$210 million received in connection with the purchase of branches. Net cash
used by financing activities of $65


                                      -18-


<PAGE>   19

million consisted of a $348 million increase in deposits and a $204 million net
increase in FHLB and other borrowings reduced by a decrease in federal funds
purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase of $555 million,
the retirement of preferred stock as previously noted, and the payment of $69
million in common stock and preferred stock dividends.

   Total shareholders' equity at September 30, 1999, was 6.80 percent of
total assets compared to 6.92 percent at December 31, 1998 due to a $75
million decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income. The leverage
ratio, defined as period-end common equity and the Capital Securities
adjusted for goodwill divided by average quarterly assets adjusted for
goodwill, was 6.85 percent at September 30, 1999 and 7.26 percent at
December 31, 1998. Similarly, the Company's tangible leverage ratio,
defined as period-end common equity and the Capital Securities adjusted
for all intangibles divided by average quarterly assets adjusted for all
intangibles, was 6.77 percent at September 30, 1999 compared to 7.16
percent at December 31, 1998.

   Tier I capital and total qualifying capital (Tier I capital plus Tier
II capital), as defined by regulatory agencies, as of September 30, 1999,
exceeded the target ratios for well capitalized of 6.00 percent and 10.00
percent, respectively, under current regulations. The Tier I and total
qualifying capital ratios at September 30, 1999, were 8.24 percent and
11.64 percent, respectively, compared to 8.81 percent and 10.71 percent
at December 31, 1998. Tier II capital includes supplemental capital
components such as qualifying allowances for loan losses, certain qualifying
classes of preferred stock and qualifying subordinated debt. Increased
regulatory activity in the financial industry as a whole will continue to
impact the industry; however, management does not anticipate any negative
impact on the capital resources or operations of the Company.

</TABLE>

   As shown in the table above, from December 31, 1998 to September 30, 1999
the net interest income sensitivity decreased in the down-rate scenario and
increased in the up-rate scenario. Both of these movements are due in large
part to the increase in the general level of interest rates during the course
of 1999. This increase in interest rates caused estimated prepayments on
mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities, including CMOs, to slow.
Slower prepayments resulted in a smaller amount of cash flows requiring
reinvestment at lower rates in a down-rate scenario, thereby, decreasing
sensitivity to lower rates.  However, slower prepayments also resulted in
smaller cash flows available to reinvest at higher rates in the up-rate
scenario, hence, increasing sensitivity to higher rates.
