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 ("FSCO") 
contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary to 
present fairly: FSCO's results of operations for the three months and the 
year-to-date nine months in the periods ended September 30, 1995 and 1994; 
FSCO's financial position as of September 30, 1995, December 31, 1994, and 
September 30, 1994; and cash flows for the year-to-date nine months in the 
periods ended September 30, 1995 and 1994.

2.  The results of operations for the three months and the year-to-date nine 
month periods ended September 30, 1995 and 1994 are not necessarily indicative 
of the results to be expected for the full year.

3.  FSCO's financial statements and commentary incorporate fair market values 
for balances added from purchase transactions and historical values for 
balances added from pooling-of-interests mergers, as well as earnings since 
their acquisition, from 5 acquisitions completed in 1994 and 3 acquisitions 
completed in year-to-date 1995 (see: Supplemental Tables "Mergers and 
Acquisitions").  Under applicable accounting rules, those acquisitions 
acquired as pooling-of-interests mergers were not material to FSCO's 
consolidated operations, so historical amounts were not restated.
   The April 29, 1994 acquisition of CrossLand Mortgage Acquisition 
Corporation ("CrossLand Mortgage") created $63.9 million in purchased mortgage 
servicing rights and $85.0 million in goodwill carried as intangible assets on 
FSCO's condensed consolidated balance sheets.

4. On May 12, 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS 122 
"Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights", an amendment to SFAS 65.  FSCO 
adopted this standard effective July 1, 1995.  The adoption of this standard 
had no material effect on net income from ongoing mortgage banking activities.
   SFAS 122 requires that a portion of the cost of originating a mortgage loan 
be allocated to the mortgage servicing right based on its fair value relative 
to the loan as a whole.  In order to determine the fair value of servicing 
rights, FSCO uses market prices under comparable servicing sales contracts, 
when available, or alternatively uses a valuation model that calculates the 
present value of future cash flows to determine the fair value of the 
servicing right.  This valuation method requires FSCO to incorporate 
assumptions that market participants would use in estimating future net 
servicing income.
   In determining possible impairment of mortgage servicing rights at the end 
of each quarter, the originated servicing portfolio is disaggregated into its 
predominant characteristics, which FSCO has determined to be loan type, 
investor type, and interest rate.  The segmented portfolio is then valued, 
using market prices under comparable servicing sales contracts, when 
available, or alternatively using the same model as is used to determine the 
fair value of such rights at origination, updated with current assumptions.  
The calculated value is then compared to the book value of each segment of the 
portfolio to determine if a reserve for impairment is required.
   FSCO recorded mortgage servicing rights of $10.0 million for the quarter 
ended September 30, 1995.

5.  On July 17, 1995, FSCO issued $125 million of 7.00% Subordinated Notes due 
July 15, 2005.

6.  On July 31, 1995, FSCO securitized and sold $251 million of direct and 
indirect auto loans and recognized a net after tax loss of $773 thousand.  
FSCO will continue to service these loans for the investors.

PART 1. FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Item 2: Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and 
Financial Condition ("MDA")

ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

   First Security Corporation ("FSCO") earned net income totaling $111.2 
million for the first nine months of 1995, an increase of $6.0 million (5.7%) 
from $105.2 million earned in the corresponding period in 1994 (see Financial 
Statements: "Condensed Consolidated Income Statements"; and Supplemental 
Tables "Financial Highlights").  Net income for year-to-date 1995 generated a 
1.23% return on average assets ("ROAA") and a 15.35% return on average equity 
("ROAE") on FSCO's strong average equity to assets ratio of 8.01%, compared 
with a 1.29% ROAA and a 16.33% ROAE for the year-ago period.  Fully-diluted 
earnings per share for the year to date were $2.18, up $0.07 (3.3%) from $2.11 
for the year-ago period.
   Net income was $39.3 million for the third quarter of 1995, up $2.6 million 
(7.0%) from $36.8 million earned in the third quarter of 1994.  During the 
quarter, FSCO received a $5.1 million payment ($3.1 million after tax) from 
the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation representing a repayment of excess 
insurance premiums paid during the months of June through September 1995.  Net 
income for the quarter generated a 1.28% ROAA and a 15.46% ROAE, compared with 
a 1.26% ROAA and 16.74% ROAE for the year-ago quarter.  Fully-diluted earnings 
per share for the quarter were $0.77, up $0.04 (5.5%) from $0.73 for the year-
ago quarter.
   FSCO acquired CrossLand Mortgage in a purchase accounting transaction on 
April 29, 1994, midway through the 1994 year-to-date period (see: MDA "Mergers 
and Acquisitions").  This impacted FSCO's noninterest income and noninterest 
expenses, so that comparisons of operating results for year-to-date 1995 with 
year-to-date 1994 may not be indicative of FSCO's actual comparative 
performance.  CrossLand Mortgage has made a positive contribution to FSCO's 
1995 net income as sales of servicing were combined with third quarter 1995 
loan production, which was up 62.4% from the year-ago quarter and was the best 
quarter since its acquisition.

Net Interest Income
   Net interest income on a fully-taxable equivalent ("FTE") basis totaled 
$353.5 million for year-to-date 1995, up $4.4 million (1.3%) from the year-ago 
period, and was $121.9 million for the third quarter of 1995, up $3.4 million 
(2.8%) from the year-ago quarter (see: Supplemental Tables "Financial 
Highlights" and "Rate / Volume Analysis").  For both the year to date and 
quarter, these increases were due to higher yields and volume growth for 
interest-earning assets inclusive of the impact of the securitization and sale 
of $251 million of direct and indirect auto loans during the quarter.
   The net interest margin was 4.32% for the year to date, down from 4.74% for 
the year-ago period, while the 4.46% third quarter was down from 4.55% for the 
year-ago quarter.  For both the year to date and quarter, these decreases were 
due to higher interest rates plus increased balances in certificates of 
deposit (CDs) and long-term debt as FSCO took steps to extend maturities, 
moderate interest rate risk, and increase general liquidity.  This was 
partially offset by higher yields and volumes for interest-earning assets, and 
for the quarter, a 35.8% reduction in average short-term borrowed funds.
   The net interest margin of 4.46% for the third quarter of 1995 was much 
improved from the 4.06% low in the first quarter of 1995 and stabilized from 
the second quarter of 1995.

Provision for Loan Losses
   The provision for loan losses totaled $13.2 million for year-to-date 1995, 
up from $0.4 million for the year-ago period, and was $6.6 million for the 
third quarter of 1995, up from $0.2 million for the year-ago quarter (see: MDA 
"Interest-Earning Assets and Asset Quality - Provision For Loan Losses"; and 
Supplemental Tables "Financial Highlights - Reconciliation of the Reserve For 
Loan Losses").

Noninterest Income
   Noninterest income totaled $200.0 million for year-to-date 1995, up $57.7 
million (40.5%) from the year-ago period, and was $70.1 million for the third 
quarter of 1995, up $14.5 million (26.0%) from the year-ago quarter (see: 
Financial Statements "Condensed Consolidated Income Statements").  For both 
the year to date and quarter, these increases were due primarily to FSCO's 
continued emphasis on increasing and diversifying its sources of noninterest 
income, and the positive impact of CrossLand Mortgage on mortgage banking 
activities.  These increases were partially offset by declines in bankcard 
servicing fees and third-party processing fees.  FSCO's investment strategies 
in both the trading account and securities portfolios continued to generate 
gains, amounting to a combined $8.5 million for the year to date and $2.3 
million for the quarter.
   The acquisition of CrossLand Mortgage has further diversified FSCO's 
noninterest income and increased the ratio of noninterest income to total 
income FTE to 36.14% for the year to date, up from 28.96% for the year-ago 
period.

Noninterest Expenses
   Noninterest expenses totaled $358.1 million for year-to-date 1995, up $38.7 
million (12.1%) from the year-ago period, and were $121.3 million for the 
third quarter of 1995, up $7.8 million (6.9%) from the year-ago quarter (see: 
Financial Statements "Condensed Consolidated Income Statements").  For both 
the year to date and quarter, these increases were due to the combination of 
volume-related growth, salaries and benefits expenses related to increased 
loan production, and acquisitions.  These were partially offset by a lower 
FDIC insurance rate.
   Noninterest expenses for the third quarter of 1995 increased only 2.0% from 
the second quarter of 1995 and 2.8% from the first quarter of 1995.  This was 
a direct result of FSCO's commitment to control costs.
   The operating expense ratio (the ratio of noninterest expenses to the sum 
of net interest income FTE and noninterest income) was 64.71% for year-to-date 
1995, an improvement from 65.01% for the year-ago period and 65.82% for all of 
1994, and was 63.17% for the third quarter of 1995, an improvement from 65.15% 
for the year-ago quarter and a high of 66.35% at year end.
   FSCO has improved its operating expense ratio for three quarters in a row, 
decreasing it by 318 basis points from 66.35% at year end and 206 basis points 
from 65.23% in the second quarter of 1995.

ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

   In the third quarter of 1995, FSCO continued to increase its interest-
earning assets, maintain strong asset quality, improve its liquidity, and 
strengthen its well-capitalized position, as compared with September 30, 1994 
and December 31, 1994.
   FSCO's assets totaled $12.7 billion at September 30, 1995, up $1.1 billion 
(9.2%) from September 30, 1994, and up $526 million (4.3%) from December 31, 
1994.  Total interest-earning assets were $11.5 billion at quarter end, up 
$891 million (8.4%) from one year ago, and up $435 million (4.0%) from the 
year end (see: MDA "Interest-Earning Assets and Asset Quality").  Intangible 
assets were $145.0 million at September 30, 1995, down $26.6 million (15.5%) 
from September 30, 1994, and down $21.2 million (12.8%) from December 31, 
1994, due to the effects of ongoing amortization plus a reduction of the 
intangibles resulting from the sale of mortgage servicing rights.  
Fluctuations in other assets and other liabilities were in part due to the 
effect of timing differences on cash, accounts receivable, and accounts 
payable resulting from unsettled transactions in the purchase and sale of 
securities.
   FSCO's liabilities totaled $11.7 billion at September 30, 1995, up $937 
million (8.7%) from September 30, 1994, and up $396 million (3.5%) from 
December 31, 1994.  Total interest-bearing liabilities were $9.36 billion at 
quarter end, up $572 million (6.5%) from one year ago, but essentially 
unchanged from year end (see: MDA "Liquidity").
   Stockholders' equity in FSCO increased to a record $1.0 billion at 
September 30, 1995, up $133 million (15.0%) from September 30, 1994, and up 
$130 million (14.6%) from December 31, 1994 (see: MDA "Stockholders' Equity 
and Capital Adequacy").
   FSCO's financial condition is discussed in greater detail in the following 
MDA sections "Interest-Earning Assets and Asset Quality", "Liquidity", and 
"Stockholders' Equity and Capital Adequacy".

INTEREST-EARNING ASSETS and ASSET QUALITY

Loans
   FSCO's borrowers reside primarily in states where FSCO has banking offices 
as well as in contiguous market areas.  FSCO has policies and procedures 
designed to maintain the quality of its loans.  These include setting 
underwriting standards for new credits and the continuous monitoring and 
reporting of asset quality and adequacy of the reserve for loan losses.  These 
policies were discussed in greater detail in FSCO's 1994 Form 10-K: "Interest-
Earning Assets and Asset Quality - Loans".
     FSCO's loan portfolio, net of unearned income but before the reserve for 
loan losses, totaled $8.3 billion at September 30, 1995, up $558 million 
(7.2%) from September 30, 1994, and up $129 million (1.6%) from December 31, 
1994 (see: Supplemental Tables "Loans Outstanding").  The increase from one 
year ago was due primarily to increases in real estate loans and commercial 
loans.
   The ratio of loans to assets was 65.51% at September 30, 1995, compared 
with 66.74% one year ago and 67.28% at year end.
   The components of FSCO's loan portfolio at September 30, 1995, compared 
with September 30, 1994, and December 31, 1994, respectively, included:
   * Commercial loans were $2.0 billion, up $279 million (16.1%) from one year 
ago, and up $177 million (9.6%) from year end.  This growth was due primarily 
to a broad-based business expansion in FSCO's market areas with increases in 
loans to customers of all sizes.
   * Real estate secured loans were $3.4 billion, up $380 million (12.7%) from 
one year ago, and up $222 million (7.1%) from year end.  This growth was due 
to increases in residential term and home equity loans, and commercial 
construction and term (nonowner occupied) loans.  For balance sheet management 
purposes, FSCO does not retain all newly-originated fixed-rate mortgage loans 
but sells a portion to secondary markets.
   * Consumer loans were $2.6 billion, down $118 million (4.4%) from one year 
ago, and down $261 million (9.2%) from year end.  These decreases were due to 
the July 31, 1995 securitization and sale of $251 million of direct and 
indirect auto loans.  FSCO remains the leading consumer lender in the 
Corporation's primary market area.

Problem Assets and Potential Problem Assets
   Superior asset quality continues to be a primary objective for FSCO.  
Despite a general downward trend in problem assets since 1991, it has been 
FSCO's experience that economic cycles and loan-specific events cause 
fluctuations in problem assets, sometimes with little or no warning.  FSCO 
carefully considers these potential fluctuations in the analysis of its 
reserve for loan losses.
   Problem assets increased to $41.4 million at September 30, 1995, up $8.7 
million (26.7%) from September 30, 1994, and up $2.1 million (5.5%) from 
December 31, 1994 (see: Supplemental Tables "Financial Highlights - Problem 
Assets, - Selected Ratios").  These increases were due primarily to isolated 
agricultural loan problems related to commodity prices that temporarily offset 
a healthy regional economy and continued high loan underwriting standards.
   The ratio of total problem assets to total loans and ORE was 0.50% at 
quarter end, indicating the continuing high quality of FSCO's interest-earning 
assets, up slightly from 0.42% one year ago and 0.48% at year end.
   The components of FSCO's problem assets at September 30, 1995, compared 
with September 30, 1994, and December 31, 1994, respectively, included:
   * Nonaccruing loans were $25.4 million, up $5.1 million (25.4%) from one 
year ago, and up $1.5 million (6.3%) from year end.  These increases were 
primarily due to one large agricultural credit that was previously identified 
as a potential problem asset.  No losses are expected from this credit as it 
is well-secured.  The ratio of nonaccruing loans to total loans was 0.31%, up 
slightly from 0.26% one year ago and 0.29% at year end.
   * ORE and other foreclosed assets were $4.5 million, up $1.3 million 
(42.1%) from one year ago, and up $1.1 million (33.4%) from year end.  These 
increases were due in part to a decrease in the ORE valuation reserve.  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 $11.5 million, up $2.2 
million (24.3%) from one year ago, but down $0.5 million (4.0%) from year end.
   Potential problem loans identified by FSCO were $17.2 million at September 
30, 1995, down $3.5 million (17.0%) from September 30, 1994, but up $5.2 
million (43.3%) from December 31, 1994.  The increase from year end was due to 
a combination of small commercial loans, agricultural loans, and 1-4 family 
residential term loans.  Potential problem loans consisted primarily of small 
commercial loans, agricultural loans, and 1-4 family residential term loans.

Reserve for Loan Losses
   It is FSCO's philosophy to maintain a conservative balance sheet, including 
its reserve for loan losses.  This was discussed in greater detail in FSCO's 
1994 Form 10-K: "Interest-Earning Assets and Asset Quality - Reserve for Loan 
Losses".  FSCO continually analyzes the reserve and adjusts it as needed to 
maintain a conservative position.
   The reserve for loan losses was $131.9 million at September 30, 1995, down 
$2.8 million (2.1%) from September 30, 1994, and down $2.0 million (1.5%) from 
December 31, 1994 (see: Supplemental Tables "Financial Highlights - 
Reconciliation of the Reserve for Loan Losses, - Selected Ratios").  These 
slight reductions in the reserve reflected continued good asset quality.  
Merger transactions added reserves of $2.1 million since one year ago but none 
since year end.  The reserve at September 30, 1995 was increased $1.5 million 
(1.1%) from June 30, 1995.  Based on its analysis of reserve adequacy, FSCO's 
management considered the reserve for loan losses at September 30, 1995 to be 
adequate to cover potential losses in the foreseeable future.
   The "coverage" ratio of the reserve to nonaccruing loans was 519.59% at 
quarter end, down from 665.54% one year ago and 560.81% at year end.  At the 
same time, the ratio of the reserve to total loans was 1.59% at quarter end, 
down from 1.74% one year ago and 1.64% at year end.
   FSCO charges loan losses against the reserve for loan losses when such 
losses become probable and subject to reasonable estimation.  Net loans 
charged off totaled $15.2 million for year-to-date 1995, up $11.4 million 
(306.1%) from the year-ago period, and were $5.1 million for the third quarter 
of 1995, up $4.5 million (784.9%) from the year-ago quarter.  Net chargeoffs 
continued at a favorable rate of approximately $5 million per quarter, with 
the increases primarily due to large recoveries one year ago in commercial 
loans, real estate loans, and leases.  FSCO continued to maintain strong asset 
quality and to benefit from the positive effects of a healthy regional 
economy.
   The ratio of net loan chargeoffs to average loans remained low at 0.25% for 
both the year to date and third quarter, although up from 0.07% for the year-
ago period and 0.03% for the year-ago quarter, respectively, and up from 0.10% 
for all of 1994.

Provision for Loan Losses
   The provision for loan losses totaled $13.2 million for year-to-date 1995, 
up from $0.4 million for the year-ago period, and was $6.6 million for the 
third quarter of 1995, up from $0.2 million for the year-ago quarter (see: 
Supplemental Tables "Financial Highlights - Reconciliation of the Reserve For 
Loan Losses").  These increases were due to the combination of 16.8% growth in 
year-to-date average loans and higher net loans charged off.  During the 1995 
periods, FSCO kept the provision for loan losses essentially equivalent to net 
chargeoffs, allowing the reserve to remain relatively constant.

Investment Securities
   FSCO manages its securities available for sale and securities held to 
maturity portfolios within policies which are designed to achieve desired 
liquidity levels, manage interest rate sensitivity risk, meet earnings 
objectives, and fulfill requirements for collateral to support deposit and/or 
repurchase agreement activities (see: Financial Statements "Condensed 
Consolidated Balance Sheets").  FSCO's investment strategy remains flexible 
and carefully reviewed by management, shifting periodically in response to 
changing conditions.  The average life of the investment securities portfolios 
is relatively short, providing a constant cash flow from maturing assets.
   FSCO's securities available for sale were $2.2 billion at September 30, 
1995, up $132 million (6.3%) from September 30, 1994, and up $226 million 
(11.3%) from December 31, 1994.  FSCO's securities held to maturity were $247 
million at September 30, 1995, down $13 million (5.0%) from September 30, 
1994, and down $5 million (2.0%) from December 31, 1994.

Other Interest-Earning Assets
   The combined balance of Federal funds sold and securities purchased under 
resale agreements, interest-bearing deposits in other banks, and trading 
account securities was $684 million at September 30, 1995, up $214 million 
(45.6%) from September 30, 1994, and up $85 million (14.3%) from December 31, 
1994 (see: Financial Statements "Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets").  
Historically, these balances have fluctuated significantly in response to both 
market conditions and FSCO's preference for liquidity.

LIQUIDITY

   FSCO has established specific policies and procedures governing liquidity 
management through its asset/liability management committee ("ALCO") process.  
These policies and processes were discussed in greater detail in FSCO's 1994 
Form 10-K: "Asset/Liability Management"; and "Liquidity".
   FSCO works to maintain an adequate liquidity position through stable core 
deposits generated from its branch network, short-term securities portfolios, 
other interest-earning assets, and the prudent use of debt (see: MDA 
"Interest-Earning Assets and Asset Quality", "Deposits", and Borrowed Funds").  
Maturing balances in the large loan portfolios also provide flexibility in 
managing cash flows.  The ability to redeploy these funds is an important 
source of medium to long-term liquidity.
   Backup sources of liquidity are provided by credit lines to FSCO and by 
Federal funds lines carried by FSCO's subsidiary Banks.  Additional liquidity 
could be generated through: issuance of new corporate debt or equity 
securities under an existing shelf registration with the Securities and 
Exchange Commission; Bank Note issuance; borrowings from the Federal Home Loan 
Bank, of which FSB Utah, FSB Idaho, and FSB Oregon are members; asset sales 
and securitizations; and borrowings from the Federal Reserve System.

Deposits
   FSCO's deposits totaled $8.7 billion at September 30, 1995, up $754 million 
(9.5%) from September 30, 1994, and up $636 million (7.9%) from December 31, 
1994 (see: Financial Statements "Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets" and 
Supplemental Tables "Rate / Volume Analysis").  These increases occurred as 
FSCO took steps to acquire CDs.  The mix of deposits at quarter end remained 
essentially unchanged as interest-bearing deposits were 78.62% of total 
deposits, compared to 78.15% one year ago and 78.65% at year end.

Borrowed Funds
   Borrowed funds totaled $2.5 billion at September 30, 1995, down $58 million 
(2.2%) from September 30, 1994, and down $499 million (16.4%) from December 
31, 1994 (see: Financial Statements "Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets").  
Borrowed funds were increased during 1994 to support strong loan growth that 
exceeded deposit growth throughout FSCO's market areas.  Since year end, loan 
sales and repayments have largely offset loan originations, so that deposit 
growth exceeded net loan growth and supported a reduction of short-term 
borrowings.
   The components of FSCO's borrowed funds at September 30, 1995, compared 
with September 30, 1994, and December 31, 1994, respectively, included:
   * Federal funds purchased and securities sold under repurchase agreements 
were $1.5 billion, down $738 million (33.4%) from one year ago, and down $688 
million (31.8%) from year end.
   * All other short-term borrowings were $203 million, up $115 million 
(131.5%) from one year ago, and up $18 million (10.0%) from year end.
   * Long-term debt was $857 million, up $564 million (193.3%) from one year 
ago, and up $171 million (25.0%) from year end as FSCO moved to take advantage 
of a favorable interest rate environment.  On July 17, 1995, FSCO issued $125 
million of 7.00% Subordinated Notes due July 15, 2005.

STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY and CAPITAL ADEQUACY

   FSCO and its subsidiary Banks exceeded regulatory requirements for "well 
capitalized" status throughout 1994 and for year-to-date 1995.  It is FSCO's 
policy to maintain this status at both the consolidated and subsidiary Bank 
levels, and to achieve a minimum tangible common equity to assets ratio of 
7.00%.
   Application of SFAS 115 has resulted in, and will continue to result in, 
additions to or deductions from FSCO's total stockholders' equity as the 
result of fluctuations in the fair value of securities available for sale.  
These fluctuations are shown in the "Net unrealized gain (loss) on securities 
available for sale" component of equity.
   Stockholders' equity in FSCO increased to a record $1.0 billion at 
September 30, 1995, up $133 million (15.0%) from September 30, 1994, and up 
$130 million (14.6%) from December 31, 1994 (see: Financial Statements 
"Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets").  This growth was due to record 
earnings plus the improvement in the SFAS 115 component of equity.
   The ratio of stockholders' equity to total assets was 8.04% at quarter end, 
up from 7.64% one year ago and 7.32% at year end.  At the same time, the ratio 
of tangible common equity to tangible total assets was 6.97%, up from 6.25% 
one year ago and 6.03% at year end (see: Supplemental Tables "Financial 
Highlights - Selected Ratios").  Changes in these equity ratios were due to 
record earnings plus the improvement in the SFAS 115 component of equity.
   FSCO's risk-based capital ratios (see: Supplemental Tables "Financial 
Highlights - Risk-Based Capital Ratios") at September 30, 1995, compared with 
September 30, 1994, and December 31, 1994, respectively, were:
   * Tier 1 (well capitalized: 6.0% or above) at 10.52%, compared with 9.79% 
one year ago, and 9.84% at year end.
   * Total Capital (well capitalized: 10.0% or above) at 14.06%, compared with 
11.96% one year ago, and 11.98% at year end.
   * Leverage (well capitalized: 5.0% or above) at 7.32%, compared with 7.00% 
one year ago, and 6.88% at year end.
   As with its equity ratios, the changes in FSCO's risk-based capital ratios 
were due in part to FSCO's record earnings plus the effect of issuing $125 
million in subordinated debt during the quarter.

COMMON STOCK

   On July 31, 1995, FSCO's Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly 
cash dividend of $0.28 per share of FSCO's Common Stock (see: Supplemental 
Tables "Financial Highlights").  This dividend, payable September 4, 1995 to 
shareholders of record on August 18, 1995, equals an annual rate of $1.12 per 
share.  At the market closing bid price of $28.13 per share on Friday, July 
28, 1995, the annual dividend yield on FSCO's Common Stock was 3.98%.
   On October 30, 1995, FSCO's Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly 
cash dividend of $0.28 per share of FSCO's Common Stock.  This dividend, 
payable December 4, 1995 to shareholders of record on November 17, 1995, 
equals an annual rate of $1.12 per share.  At the market closing bid price of 
$32.50 per share on Friday, October 27, 1995, the annual dividend yield on 
FSCO's Common Stock was 3.45%.
   FSCO has paid cash dividends for 61 consecutive years.  National and state 
banking and insurance regulations impose restrictions on the ability of FSCO's 
bank and insurance subsidiaries to transfer funds to FSCO in the form of loans 
or dividends.  Such restrictions have not had, nor are they expected to have, 
any effect on FSCO's current ability to pay dividends.  FSCO'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

   FSCO's merger and acquisition activity reflects management's strategy of 
diversifying and enhancing FSCO's financial services delivery system through 
the expansion and geographical diversification of its bank branch network and 
nonbank activities (see: Supplemental Tables "Mergers and Acquisitions").  
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 in new and existing markets.
   Since September 30, 1994, FSCO has acquired 3 financial institutions, 1 of 
which was accounted for as a purchase transaction and 2 of which were 
accounted for as pooling-of-interests transactions.  None of the pooling-of-
interests transactions were of sufficient size to require restatement of 
FSCO's historical financial statements.  On April 29, 1994, FSCO acquired 
CrossLand Mortgage which was the largest cash purchase ever made by the 
Corporation.

PROJECT "VISION" - FIRST SECURITY'S CORPORATE REDESIGN PROGRAM

   On July 11, FSCO announced the implementation of a corporate redesign 
effort aimed at enhancing customer service and improving the Corporation's 
operating efficiency.  Project "VISION", the six-month customer-focused 
redesign program will help FSCO to improve customer service while at the same 
time identifying operational changes that will help the Corporation become a 
more efficient provider of banking and financial services.

NATIONAL & REGIONAL ECONOMY

   The U.S. economy bounced back in the third quarter of 1995 relative to the 
prior period when excess inventory positions were being liquidated.  The 
economic improvement, however, may moderate in the fourth quarter.  Going 
forward into 1996, real growth will likely vary near 2.5%, a level which 
should keep the jobless rate from seriously rising, but at the same time 
restraining inflation below 3%.
   There is some concern that buying momentum in the consumer sector is 
withering.  Job growth and income gains may struggle to generate the 
purchasing power necessary to sustain final demand, particularly with 
relatively high consumer debt levels.  Accordingly, it is possible that upon 
completion of a Federal budget package, the Federal Reserve could edge 
interest rates a notch lower.  This may psychologically help Christmas sales 
and carry-over spending, particularly for the purchase of consumer durables, 
into the new year.
   The Intermountain Area's third-quarter economic performance continued very 
strong.  For example, Utah's October employment growth exceeded 6% (54,000 new 
jobs), while the unemployment rate in the Salt Lake area dropped below 3%.  
Labor markets in Nevada, New Mexico, and Oregon have recorded vigorous gains, 
whereas somewhat less rapid growth is evident in Idaho and Wyoming.  A 
commercial construction boom is providing strong growth momentum throughout 
the region.  The pattern of net in-migration to this region is continuing and 
economic prospects remain highly favorable.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

   FSCO and its subsidiaries are subject to various claims and legal actions 
filed or threatened by customers and others in connection with FSCO's regular 
business activities.  In all litigation filed against it, FSCO vigorously 
defends itself against unfounded claims, with a concomitant cost in legal fees 
and expenses.  Some legal actions filed against FSCO seek inflated damages, 
often in an effort to force compromise of a troubled loan transaction, and are 
disclosed in required filings with the SEC.  Since the filing of FSCO's 1994 
Annual Report on Form 10-K, there have been no material developments in 
connection with pending legal proceedings not already disclosed in previous 
filings with the SEC.

Item 6. Exhibits, and Reports on Form 8-K

   (a). Exhibits:
      Exhibit 11. Computation of Earnings Per Share
      Exhibit 27. Financial Data Schedule

   (b). Reports on Form 8-K:
      FSCO filed no reports on Form 8-K during the third quarter of 1995.
