FIRST SECURITY CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.  In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed 
consolidated financial statements of First Security Corporation ("FSC") 
contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) 
necessary to present fairly: FSC's results of operations for the three 
months and the year-to-date nine months in the periods ended September 
30, 1994 and 1993; FSC's financial position as of September 30, 1994, 
December 31, 1993, and September 30, 1993; and cash flows for the year-
to-date nine months in the periods ended September 30, 1994 and 1993.

2.  The results of operations for the three months and the year-to-date 
nine month periods ended September 30, 1994 and 1993 are not necessarily 
indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

3.  As required by applicable accounting rules, all historical amounts 
in this report have been restated to reflect the effects of the November 
19, 1993 pooling-of-interests merger with First National Financial 
Corporation ("FNFC"; located in Albuquerque, New Mexico).
     Financial statements and commentary incorporate fair market 
valuations for balances added, as well as earnings since their 
acquisition, from 11 acquisitions completed in 1993, and five 
acquisitions completed in the year-to-date nine months of 1994.  Under 
applicable accounting rules, those acquisitions acquired as pooling-of-
interests mergers, except FNFC, were not material to FSC's consolidated 
operations, so historical amounts were not restated.
      On February 18, 1994, First Security Bank of Wyoming ("FSB 
Wyoming") acquired the Evanston and Bridger Valley, Wyoming branches of 
Equality State Bank (headquartered in Cheyenne, Wyoming) with $31 
million in assets and $31 million in deposits in those two branches.  
This acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of 
accounting.
      On April 29, 1994, First Security Bank of Utah, N.A. ("FSB Utah") 
acquired CrossLand Mortgage Acquisition Corporation ("CrossLand"), the 
parent company of CrossLand Mortgage Corp. (not affiliated with 
CrossLand Savings Bank), a 1-to-4 family residential mortgage loan 
originator and servicer which had 60 offices in 18 states across the 
country and $330 million in assets.  This acquisition was accounted for 
using the purchase method of accounting.
      On May 20, 1994, FSB Utah acquired Community First Bank 
(headquartered in Clearfield, Utah) with five branches, $75 million in 
assets, and $63 million in deposits.  This acquisition was accounted for 
using the pooling-of-interests method of accounting.
      On July 18, 1994, First Security Bank of Idaho, N.A. ("FSB Idaho") 
acquired American Ban Corporation (headquartered in Boise, Idaho) and 
its subsidiary American Bank of Commerce with four branches, $63 million 
in assets, and $51 million in deposits.  This acquisition was accounted 
for using the purchase method of accounting.
      On August 23, 1994, FSB Wyoming acquired Star Valley State Bank 
(headquartered in Afton, Wyoming) with two branches, $66 million in 
assets, and $58 million in deposits.  This stock acquisition was 
accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.

4.  For the periods ended September 30, 1994 and 1993, per share amounts 
assuming full dilution were not separately disclosed because they did 
not differ significantly from primary earnings per share.

5.  For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents 
included cash and due from banks, as well as Federal funds sold and 
securities purchased under resale agreements.

6.  Information as to preferred and common shares (in thousands):
                                  September 30  December 31 September 30
                                          1994         1993         1993
      Preferred Stock Outstanding           13           13           14
      Common Stock Issued               49,533       48,787       47,243
      Common Treasury Stock                361          350          359

7.  On January 1, 1994, FSC adopted Statement of Financial Accounting 
Standards No. 112 ("SFAS 112"), "Employers' Accounting for 
Postemployment Benefits".  SFAS 112 requires the Corporation to accrue 
benefits to be provided to former or inactive employees after employment 
but before retirement, such as salary continuation, severance pay, or 
health care benefits.  The impact of SFAS 112 on FSC has not been, and 
is not expected to be, material in relation to the consolidated 
financial statements.

8.  On January 1, 1994, FSC adopted Statement of Financial Accounting 
Standards No. 115 ("SFAS 115"), "Accounting for Certain Investments in 
Debt and Equity Securities".  SFAS 115 requires the Corporation to 
classify its debt and equity securities as either held to maturity, 
available for sale, or trading.  Held to maturity securities are 
accounted for at amortized cost; available for sale securities are 
accounted for at fair value with the tax-effected unrealized gain/loss 
reported as a net amount in a separate component of stockholders' 
equity; and trading securities are accounted for at fair value with 
unrealized gains/losses included in earnings.
      The adoption of SFAS 115 on January 1, 1994 resulted in the 
reclassification of $1.42 billion of investment securities as available 
for sale to reflect FSC's investment-holding strategy under the new 
statement, and an increase in the carrying value of such investments of 
approximately $13.98 million, with corresponding increases in 
stockholders' equity of approximately $8.89 million and deferred income 
tax liabilities of $5.10 million.
      At September 30, 1994, investment securities available for sale 
had a fair value of $2.09 billion and an amortized cost basis of $2.14 
billion, which included gross unrealized holding gains of $7.33 million 
and gross unrealized holding losses of $60.56 million that were 
recognized in stockholders' equity on a tax-effected basis as a $33.50 
million net unrealized loss on securities available for sale.
      Implementation of SFAS 115 will result in additions to or 
deductions from FSC's total stockholders' equity as the result of 
fluctuations in fair value of investment securities available for sale.
      At September 30, 1994, investment securities held to maturity had 
a fair value of $260.35 million and an amortized cost basis of $260.49 
million, which included gross unrealized holding gains of $3.68 million 
and gross unrealized holding losses of $3.82 million or a $140 thousand 
net unrealized loss on investment securities held to maturity.

9.  The acquisition of CrossLand on April 29, 1994, created intangible 
assets for FSC of: $63.85 million in mortgage servicing rights, which is 
being amortized over the expected life of the loans serviced; and $85.05 
million in goodwill, which is being amortized on a straight line basis 
over a 15 year period.

10. Subsequent to September 30, 1994, FSC and two of its subsidiaries, 
FSB Utah and FSB Idaho have issued additional debt instruments for 
general funding purposes.  On October 3, 1994, FSB Utah issued $71 
million of 7.190% Bank Notes due October 3, 1997.  Then on October 4, 
1994, FSB Idaho issued $50 million of Bank Notes while FSB Utah issued 
an additional $24 million of Bank Notes; both issuances were priced at 
6.880% and are due October 4, 1996.  On October 18, 1994, the 
Corporation issued $100 million of 7.875% Senior Notes due October 15, 
1999.

PART 1. FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Item 2: Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations 
and Financial Condition

ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

   First Security Corporation ("FSC") earned record net income of $36.78 
million for the third quarter of 1994, an increase of $4.20 million 
(12.9%) over the $32.59 million earned in the third quarter of 1993 (see 
Financial Statements "Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income").  
These earnings generated a 1.26% return on average assets ("ROAA") and a 
16.74% return on average equity ("ROAE"), compared with a 1.39% ROAA and 
a 16.19% ROAE for the year-ago quarter.  The quarter's net income per 
share was $0.73, up $0.05 (7.4%) from $0.68 one year ago.
   The increase in net income for the third quarter of 1994 was due 
primarily to the 24.4% growth in average earning assets, combined with 
higher noninterest income.
   Net income totaled $105.17 million for year-to-date 1994, up $12.17 
million (13.1%) over the corresponding year-to-date period in 1993.  
These earnings generated a 1.29% ROAA and a 16.33% ROAE for year-to-date 
1994, compared with a 1.37% ROAA and a 16.17% ROAE for the same period 
in 1993.  Year-to-date net income per share was $2.11 for 1994, up $0.16 
(8.2%) from $1.95 for the year-ago period.
   FSC's financial statements for prior years have been restated to 
reflect the November 19, 1993 pooling-of-interests merger with First 
National Financial Corporation ("FNFC") and its wholly-owned subsidiary 
First National Bank in Albuquerque (renamed First Security Bank of New 
Mexico), headquartered in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Net Interest Income
   Net interest income on a fully-taxable equivalent ("FTE") basis rose 
to $118.54 million for the third quarter of 1994, up $16.29 million 
(15.9%) from the year-ago quarter, and totaled $349.08 million for year-
to-date 1994, up $46.29 million (15.3%) from the year-ago period (see 
also Supplemental Table "Rate / Volume Analysis").  The FTE net interest 
margin was 4.55% for the third quarter of 1994, down from 4.88% for the 
year-ago quarter, and was 4.74% for year-to-date 1994, down from 4.93% 
for the year-ago period and 4.95% for all of 1993.  The lower quarterly 
and year-to-date FTE net interest margins reflected FSC's reliance on 
interest-bearing funds, specifically borrowed funds, to support earning 
asset growth which exceeded deposit growth.

Provision for Loan Losses
   The provision for loan losses was $180 thousand for the third quarter 
of 1994, down $4.96 million (96.5%) from the year-ago quarter, and 
totaled $351 thousand for year-to-date 1994, down $6.69 million (95.0%) 
from the year-ago period (see also MDA section "Asset Quality - Reserve 
For Loan Losses"; see also Supplemental Table "Financial Highlights - 
Reconciliation of the Reserve For Loan Losses").  Net loans charged off 
included in this provision were $576 thousand for the quarter, down 
$1.81 million (75.8%) from the year-ago quarter, and totaled $3.73 
million for year-to-date 1994, down $3.36 million (47.4%) from the year-
ago period.  Reflecting excellent overall asset quality, the ratio of 
net loan chargeoffs to average loans was an extremely low 0.03% for the 
quarter, down from 0.16% for the year-ago quarter, and was 0.07% for 
year-to-date 1994, down from 0.16% for the year-ago period.

Noninterest Income and Noninterest Expense
   FSC's noninterest income and expenses have been impacted by recent 
acquisitions (see also Supplemental Table "Mergers and Acquisitions").  
Since September 30, 1993, FSC has completed 8 acquisitions (in addition 
to FNFC) that did not require restatement of FSC's historic financial 
statements, thereby creating significant period-to-period increases in 
both noninterest income and noninterest expenses and thereby making 
prior period comparisons difficult.  These acquisitions added 18 
domestic bank offices and 60 domestic mortgage loan offices to FSC's 
operations and were the primary factor behind the 19.8% rise in the 
number of FSC employees.
   FSC is concerned by the recent performance in the mortgage banking 
industry.  While year-to-date loan originations in the Corporation's 
bank subsidiaries have remained strong, originations nationally for 
FSC's newly acquired mortgage banking subsidiary, CrossLand Mortgage 
Acquisition Corp. ("CrossLand"), were down over 34% from record 
originations in the year-ago period, making it very unlikely that 
CrossLand will be neutral to earnings per share in 1994.
   Noninterest income, including all acquisitions, rose to $60.17 
million for the third quarter of 1994, up $17.07 million (39.6%) from 
the year-ago quarter, and totaled $152.79 million for year-to-date 1994, 
up $32.07 million (26.6%) from the year-ago period.  These increases 
came largely from volume-related growth in real estate loan origination 
and servicing fees, service charges on accounts, and other service 
charges, and from acquisitions.  The acquisition of CrossLand Mortgage 
Acquisition Corp. ("CrossLand") was largely responsible for the increase 
in noninterest income from real estate lending activities.
   Noninterest expenses, including all acquisitions, were $118.02 
million for the third quarter of 1994, up $23.20 million (24.5%) from 
the year-ago quarter, and totaled $329.91 million for year-to-date 1994, 
up $59.78 million (22.1%) from the year-ago period.  These increases 
were impacted by both volume-related growth and acquisitions.
   FSC's noninterest expenses, excluding the noninterest expenses of 
certain acquisitions not restated for, were $98.33 million for the third 
quarter of 1994, up $3.51 million (3.7%) from the year-ago quarter, and 
totaled $292.77 million for year-to-date 1994, up $22.64 million (8.4%) 
from the year-ago period.
   FSC's efficiency ratio (the ratio of noninterest expenses to the sum 
of FTE net interest income and noninterest income), including all 
acquisitions, was 66.04% for the third quarter of 1994, compared with 
65.23% for the year-ago quarter, and 65.74% for year-to-date 1994, 
compared with 63.79% for the year-ago period.
   FSC's efficiency ratio, excluding the total impact of certain 
acquisitions not restated for, was 61.63% for the third quarter of 1994, 
improved from 65.23% for the year-ago quarter, and 63.29% for year-to-
date 1994, improved from 63.95% for the year-ago period.

Provision for Income Taxes
   The provision for income taxes was $21.72 million on pre-tax income 
of $58.51 million for the third quarter of 1994, resulting in an 
effective quarterly tax rate of 37.1% compared with 29.9% one year ago.  
The provision for income taxes totaled $60.50 million on pre-tax income 
of $165.67 million for year-to-date 1994, resulting in an effective 
year-to-date tax rate of 36.5% compared with 34.3% for the year ago 
period.

ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

   As described in this and following sections, FSC continued to 
increase its earning assets, strengthen its asset quality, and maintain 
its well-capitalized position as of September 30, 1994, as compared to 
both December 31, 1993, and September 30, 1993 (see Financial Statements 
"Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets").

   FSC's assets totaled $11.60 billion at September 30, 1994, up $1.88 
billion (19.3%) from September 30, 1993 and up $1.39 billion (13.6%) 
from December 31, 1993.  Total earning assets were $10.56 billion at 
quarter end, up $1.77 billion (20.1%) from one year ago and up $1.23 
billion (13.2%) from the year end (see also MDA section "Interest-
Earning Assets and Asset Quality").  This increase was due primarily to 
growth in the loan portfolio, plus the positive impact of recent 
acquisitions, and planned corporate growth.  Loans were $7.75 billion at 
quarter end, up $1.56 billion (25.2%) from one year ago and up $1.18 
billion (18.1%) from year end.  Increases occurred in every loan 
category, particularly in consumer loans, real estate secured loans, and 
commercial loans.
   The combined balance of interest-bearing deposits in other banks, 
Federal funds sold and securities purchased under resale agreements, and 
trading account securities was $470.08 million at September 30, 1994, 
down $381.65 million (44.8%) from September 30, 1993, and down $535.39 
million (53.2%) from December 31, 1993.  Historically, these balances 
have fluctuated significantly in response to both market conditions and 
the Corporation's need for funds.  The increases in premises and 
equipment are due to acquisitions, while fluctuations in other assets 
and other liabilities are due to accounts receivable and accounts 
payable related to unsettled transactions arising from the purchase and 
sale of securities.  Intangible assets were $171.58 million at September 
30, 1994, up $158.57 million (1,219.0%) from September 30, 1993 and up 
$159.75 million (1,350.0%) from December 31, 1993.  This increase was 
due primarily to the acquisition of CrossLand, which created $63.85 
million in mortgage servicing rights and $85.05 million in goodwill.

Liabilities and Stockholders' Equity
   FSC's deposits totaled $7.94 billion at September 30, 1994, up $874 
million (12.4%) from September 30, 1993, and up $432 million (5.8%) from 
December 31, 1993.  As with total assets, the increase from one year ago 
was due to the positive impact of recent acquisitions and planned 
corporate growth.  At quarter end, total deposits consisted of: 
interest-bearing deposits of $6.20 billion, up $678 million (12.3%) from 
one year ago and up $395 million (6.8%) from year end; and noninterest-
bearing deposits of $1.73 billion, up $196 million (12.8%) from one year 
ago and up $37 million (2.2%) from year end.
   In addition to deposits, FSC supported the growth in its earning 
assets with borrowed funds and equity.  Borrowed funds, which included 
Federal funds purchased and securities sold under repurchase agreements  
and long-term debt, totaled $2.59 billion at September 30, 1994, up 
$1.07 billion (70.9%) from September 30, 1993, and up $878 million 
(51.3%) from December 31, 1993.  Federal funds purchased and securities 
sold under repurchase agreements were $2.21 billion at quarter end, up 
$979 million (79.6%) from one year ago and up $823 million (59.4%) from 
the year end.  Long-term debt, net of $21.36 million of current 
maturities of long-term debt reclassed from long-term debt to other 
short-term borrowing, was $292.06 million at quarter end, up $65.55 
million (28.9%) from one year ago and up $67.22 million (29.9%) from the 
year end, due to advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank to support 
retention of mortgage loans originated by the Corporation.
   Subsequent to September 30, 1994, FSC and two of its subsidiaries, 
First Security Bank of Utah, N.A. ("FSB Utah") and First Security Bank 
of Idaho, N.A. ("FSB Idaho") have issued additional debt instruments for 
general funding purposes.  On October 3, 1994, FSB Utah issued $71 
million of 7.190% Bank Notes due October 3, 1997.  Then on October 4, 
1994, FSB Idaho issued $50 million of Bank Notes while FSB Utah issued 
an additional $24 million of Bank Notes; both issuances were priced at 
6.880% and are due October 4, 1996.  On October 18, 1994, the 
Corporation issued $100 million of 7.875% Senior Notes due October 15, 
1999.
   Maintaining a well-capitalized position continues to be a high 
priority for FSC (see also MDA section "Stockholders' Equity and Capital 
Adequacy").  Total stockholders' equity increased to a record $886.39 
million at September 30, 1994, up $76.71 million (9.5%) from September 
30, 1993, and up $50.66 million (6.1%) from December 31, 1993.  This 
growth was due primarily to record earnings combined with the effects of 
acquisitions.

INTEREST-EARNING ASSETS and ASSET QUALITY

   FSC borrowers reside principally in those states where the 
Corporation has its banking offices (Utah, Idaho, New Mexico, Oregon, 
Nevada, and Wyoming) as well as in contiguous market areas.  FSC has 
policies and procedures designed to mitigate credit risk and to maintain 
the quality of the Corporation's loan and investment securities 
portfolios.  These include underwriting standards for new credits and 
the continuous monitoring and reporting of asset quality and adequacy of 
the reserve for loan losses.

Loans
   FSC's loan portfolio, net of unearned income but before the reserve 
for loan losses, totaled $7.75 billion at September 30, 1994, up $1.56 
billion (25.2%) from September 30, 1993 and up $1.18 billion (18.1%) 
from December 31, 1993 (see Financial Statements "Condensed Consolidated 
Balance Sheets"; see also Supplemental Table "Loans Outstanding").  In 
comparing the various components of the Corporation's loan portfolio at 
September 30, 1994, with September 30, 1993 and December 31, 1993, the 
following points should be noted:
   1. Commercial loans totaled $1.73 billion, up $281 million (19.4%) 
from the year-ago quarter and up $162 million (10.3%) from year-end 
1993.  This growth was due primarily to increases in loans made to FSC's 
small- and middle-market customers.
   2. Real estate secured loans totaled $2.98 billion, up $576 million 
(23.9%) from the year-ago quarter and up $441 million (17.3%) from year-
end 1993.  This growth was due in large part to increased retention of 
loans, which were primarily adjustable-rate mortgages, combined with the 
CrossLand acquisition and the effects of other acquisitions.  For 
balance sheet management purposes, FSC did not retain all newly-
originated fixed-rate mortgage loans but sold the majority, including 
servicing, to secondary markets.
   3. Consumer loans totaled $2.71 billion, up $648 million (31.4%) from 
the year-ago quarter and up $542 million (25.0%) from year-end 1993.  
This increase was due primarily to growth in indirect auto loans, 
reflecting FSC's position as the leading consumer lender in FSC's 
primary market area.

Problem Assets
   Problem assets were reduced to $32.65 million at September 30, 1994, 
down $52.42 million (61.6%) from September 30, 1993, and down $27.33 
million (45.6%) from December 31, 1993 (see also Supplemental Table 
"Financial Highlights - Problem Assets" and "Financial Highlights - 
Selected Ratios").  The ratio of total problem assets to total loans and 
ORE was 0.42% at quarter end, down from 1.37% one year ago and 0.91% at 
year end.  This decrease was due to a healthy regional economy and 
continued high loan underwriting standards.  Despite a general downward 
trend in problem assets over the past two years, it has been FSC's 
experience that economic cycles and loan-specific events beyond its 
control cause cyclical fluctuations in problem assets, sometimes with 
little or no warning.  This has led the Corporation to take a 
conservative approach in its analysis of the reserve for loan losses.  
As discussed below, significant reductions were achieved in nearly all 
categories of problem assets as of September 30, 1994.
   Nonaccruing loans were $20.23 million at September 30, 1994, down 
$33.48 million (62.3%) from September 30, 1993, and down $16.12 million 
(44.3%) from December 31, 1993.  Nonaccruing loans equaled 0.26% of the 
loan portfolio at quarter end, down from 0.87% one year ago and 0.55% at 
year end.
   ORE and other foreclosed assets were $3.15 million at September 30, 
1994, down $19.90 million (86.3%) from September 30, 1993, and down 
$13.32 million (80.9%) from December 31, 1993, due to the resolution of 
older problem assets.  ORE property values are reviewed at least 
annually, and the portfolio is adjusted to the lower of cost or fair 
value less estimated selling costs.
   Accruing loans past due 90 days or more were $9.27 million at 
September 30, 1994, up $955 thousand (11.5%) from September 30, 1993, 
and up $2.11 million (29.5%) from December 31, 1993.
   Potential problem loans identified by FSC were $20.86 million at 
September 30, 1994, up $1.23 million (6.3%) from $19.63 at September 30, 
1993, but down $3.91 million (15.8%) from $24.77 at December 31, 1993.  
Potential problem loans consisted primarily of commercial real estate 
loans and commercial loans.  These loans are less than 90 days 
delinquent and are accruing.  In identifiying potential problem loans, 
FSC considers the repayment source, the value of the collateral, and the 
borrower's ability and willingness to repay the loan.  All significant 
additions to problem assets had been previously identified as potential 
problem loans.  Meaningful comparisons of the current quarter with 
periods prior to December 31, 1993 are not possible because FNFC did not 
identify potential problem loans; potential problem loans excluding FSB 
New Mexico and FSB Nevada were $19.63 million at September 30, 1993.

Reserve for Loan Losses:
   In keeping with its philosophy of maintaining a conservative balance 
sheet, particularly in the face of uncertainties in the national/global 
economy and the strong economic expansion in its primary markets, FSC 
continued to maintain its conservative reserve for loan loss position.  
The Corporation's philosophy regarding the adequacy and use of its 
reserve was discussed in detail on pages 50 through 53 of its combined 
1993 Annual Report and Form 10-K.
   The reserve for loan losses was $134.65 million at September 30, 
1994, up $3.93 million (3.0%) from September 30, 1993, but down $195 
thousand (0.1%) from December 31, 1993 (see also Supplemental Table 
"Financial Highlights - Reconciliation of the Reserve for Loan Losses").  
Growth in the reserve was less than growth in loans due to improved 
asset quality, and the acquisition of CrossLand which had loans held for 
resale which did not need corresponding reserves.  The resulting ratio 
of the reserve for loan losses to total loans was 1.74% at quarter end, 
down from 2.11% one year ago and 2.06% at year end.  At the same time, 
the "coverage" ratio (the ratio of the reserve for loan losses to 
nonaccruing loans) was 665.54% on September 30, 1994, up from 243.41% 
one year ago and 370.93% at year end.  This increase in the reserve was 
mostly the result of merger transactions which added reserves of $7.44 
million during the last 12 months and $3.19 million in the year-to-date 
nine months.
   FSC charges loan losses against the reserve for loan losses when such 
losses become probable and subject to reasonable estimation.  Net loans 
charged off were $576 thousand for the quarter, down $1.81 million 
(75.8%) from the year-ago quarter, and totaled $3.73 million for year-
to-date 1994, down $3.36 million (47.4%) from the year-ago period (see 
also Supplemental Table "Financial Highlights - Reconciliation of the 
Reserve for Loan Losses").  Net losses continued to be low due to the 
combined effect of a healthy regional economy, excellent asset quality, 
and a high level of recoveries on loans charged off.  Reflecting 
excellent asset quality, the ratio of net loan chargeoffs to average 
loans was an extremely low 0.03% for the quarter, down from 0.16% for 
the year-ago quarter, and was 0.07% for year-to-date 1994, down from 
0.16% for the year-ago period.

STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY and CAPITAL ADEQUACY

   Maintaining a well-capitalized position continues to be a high 
priority for FSC.  Total stockholders' equity increased to a record 
$886.39 million at September 30, 1994, up $76.71 million (9.5%) from 
September 30, 1993, and up $50.66 million (6.1%) from December 31, 1993.  
This growth was due primarily to record earnings combined with the 
effects of acquisitions.  The acquisition of CrossLand and the resulting 
growth in total assets and intangible assets impacted the Corporation's 
equity ratios during the third quarter of 1994.  The ratio of 
stockholders' equity to total assets was 7.64% at September 30, 1994, 
compared with 8.33% one year ago and 8.18% at year-end 1993.  For the 
same periods, the ratio of tangible common equity to tangible total 
assets was 6.25%, compared with 8.20% one year ago and 8.07% at year-end 
1993 (see also Supplemental Table "Financial Highlights - Selected 
Ratios").
   FSC's risk-based capital ratios at September 30, 1994, were: Tier 1 
at 9.79%, compared with 11.82% at year end; and Total Capital at 11.96%, 
compared with 14.15% at year end (see also Supplemental Table "Financial 
Highlights - Risk-Based Capital Ratios").  The decrease in the 
Corporation's risk-based capital ratios was due primarily to corporate 
growth and the additional intangible assets created with the CrossLand 
acquisition.  All of FSC's equity-related ratios exceeded the regulatory 
minimums, reflecting the Corporation's long-standing emphasis on a well-
capitalized position.  FSC and its subsidiary banks are classed as 
"well-capitalized institutions" according to the regulatory definition 
for risk-based capital ratios.
   On January 24, 1994, FSC increased its quarterly cash dividend paid 
to $0.26 per share, up $0.03 per share (13.0%) from the previous $0.23 
per share.  The quarterly cash dividend of $0.26, paid September 6, 1994 
to shareholders of record on August 23, 1994, equaled an annualized 
dividend rate of $1.04 per share, up $0.12 per share (13.0%) from the 
previous $0.92 per year.
   The continuing 1994 dividends marked the 60th consecutive year in 
which the Corporation has paid cash dividends.  National and state 
banking and insurance regulations impose restrictions on the ability of 
FSC's bank and insurance subsidiaries to transfer funds to the 
Corporation in the form of loans or dividends.  Such restrictions have 
not had, nor are they expected to have, any effect on FSC's current 
dividend policy. The Corporation's current and past record of dividend 
payments should not be construed as a guarantee of similar dividend 
payments in the future.

MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS

   FSC's merger and acquisition activity (see Supplemental Table 
"Mergers and Acquisitions") reflects management's strategy of 
diversifying and enhancing the Corporation's financial services delivery 
system through the expansion and geographical diversification of its 
bank branch network and nonbank activities in new and existing markets.  
Management believes that long-term returns on the stockholders' 
investment will benefit from these acquisitions, and will continue its 
strategy of acquiring solid, well-managed financial services companies 
when suitable opportunities arise.
   On July 18, 1994, FSB Idaho acquired American Ban Corporation 
(headquartered in Boise, Idaho), and its subsidiary American Bank of 
Commerce with four branches, $63 million in assets, and $51 million in 
deposits.  This acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method 
of accounting.
   On August 23, 1994, First Security Bank of Wyoming acquired Star 
Valley State Bank (headquartered in Afton, Wyoming) with two branches, 
$66 million in assets, and $58 million in deposits.  This stock 
acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.

NATIONAL AND REGIONAL ECONOMY

The prospect of above 3% U.S. economic growth persisting well into 1995 
bodes well for additional job expansion and production increases.  It 
also means higher interest rates, with inflation functioning as the 
connecting link.
   The factory sector in the U.S. economy is operating near full 
capacity, and the nation's labor resources, including skilled and in 
many cases even semi-skilled labor, have reached full employment.  This 
favorable economic growth environment is the typical lagged response to 
the stimulative monetary policy and the very low interest rates of 1992 
and 1993.  While interest rates have increased over the past nine months 
and some segments of real estate finance have slowed, the overall 
economy has not been seriously impacted.
   As the economy reaches and perhaps exceeds normal full capacity, the 
predictable result is rising costs and higher inflation.  The Federal 
Reserve, appropriately committed to minimizing inflation, is thus 
pushing interest rates higher.  That whole process is ongoing and will 
most likely extend into 1995.
   The Intermountain states remain the fastest-growing region in the 
nation.  Higher mortgage rates may be dampening the pace of residential 
construction growth, but that will probably be offset by additional 
expansion in commercial and industrial construction.  Overall, the 
economic outlook for the Intermountain Region continues to be highly 
favorable.

(A) September 30, 1993 figures have been restated to reflect the Nov. 19, 1993 pooling-of-interests merger
    with First National Financial Corp. (FNFC).  Meaningful comparisons of individual loan categories with
    periods prior to December 31, 1993 are not possible because FNFC's loan detail did not permit restate-
    ment; only the subtotals and totals shown for the year-ago quarter have been restated to include FNFC.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings
   First Security Corporation (FSC) and its subsidiaries are subject 
from time to time to various claims and legal actions filed or 
threatened by customers and others arising in connection with the 
Corporation's regular business activities.  In all litigation filed 
against it, FSC vigorously defends itself against unfounded claims, with 
a concomitant cost in legal fees and expenses.  Some legal actions filed 
against the Corporation seek inflated damage amounts, often in an effort 
to force compromise of a troubled loan transaction, and are disclosed 
from time to time in filings with the SEC as required by applicable 
rules.  Since the filing of FSC's 1993 Annual Report and Form 10-K, 
there have been no material developments in connection with pending 
legal proceedings not already disclosed in previous filings with the 
SEC, except for the following:
   Purported class action lawsuits have been filed in two jurisdictions 
(Florida and Illinois) on behalf of mortgage borrowers from CrossLand 
Mortgage Corp. ("CrossLand") alleging technical violations of Federal 
"Truth in Lending" rules based on lending and disclosure practices 
believed to be in compliance with such rules at the time.  Rescissions 
of the loans as well as statutory and compensatory damages are requested 
in the lawsuits as filed.  Discovery is now beginning and the classes 
have not yet been certified.  FSC believes it has indemnification claims 
against the sellers of CrossLand for a substantial portion of any 
damages which plaintiffs may establish in these litigations.

   (a). Exhibits:
      Exhibit 11. Computation of Earnings Per Share
      Exhibit 27. Financial Data Schedule
   (b). Reports on Form 8-K:
      On October 17, 1994, FSC issued a report on Form 8-K announcing 
the closing on October 18, 1994 of the sale of $100,000,000 face amount 
of 7.875% Senior Notes due October 15, 1999.

equivalents are common stock options outstanding accounted for on the treasury stock method for
purposes of these calculations.
