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 in the 
periods ended March 31, 1995 and 1994; FSCO's financial position as of March 
31, 1995, December 31, 1994, and March 31, 1994; and cash flows for the year-
to-date three months in the periods ended March 31, 1995 and 1994.

2.  The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 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 2 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 $63.85 million in purchased 
mortgage servicing rights and $85.05 million in goodwill carried as intangible 
assets on FSCO's condensed consolidated balance sheets.
   * On February 13, 1995, First Security Insurance, Inc. acquired Gaskill 
Insurance Agency, Inc. (located in Ogden, Utah) with 2 offices and $1.45 
million in assets.  This acquisition was accounted for using the pooling-of-
interests method of accounting.
   * On March 17, 1995, CrossLand Mortgage acquired assets totaling $705 
thousand of Performance Mortgage Corp. (headquartered in Santa Ann, 
California), including 9 offices.  This acquisition was accounted for using 
the purchase method of accounting.

4.  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.

5.  At March 31, 1995, securities available for sale had a fair value of $2.04 
billion and an amortized cost basis of $2.08 billion, which included gross 
unrealized gains of $7.93 million and gross unrealized losses of $44.66 
million that were recognized in stockholders' equity on a tax-effected basis 
as a $23.16 million net unrealized loss on securities available for sale.
   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.
   At March 31, 1995, securities held to maturity had a fair value of $244.62 
million and an amortized cost basis of $243.92 million, which included gross 
unrealized gains of $3.47 million and gross unrealized losses of $2.76 million 
or a $704 thousand net unrealized gain on securities held to maturity.

6.  On January 1, 1995, FSCO adopted SFAS 114, "Accounting by Creditors for 
Impairment of a Loan" as amended by SFAS 118 "Accounting by Creditors for 
Impairment of a Loan - Income Recognition and Disclosures".  A loan is 
considered impaired under SFAS 114 and 118 when, based on current information, 
it is probable that the lender will not be able to collect all of the 
principal and interest due under the contractual terms of the loan.  SFAS 114 
and 118 require that impairment of a loan is measured based on: the present 
value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective 
interest rate; the loan's observable market price; or the fair value of the 
loan's collateral if it is collateral dependent.  SFAS 114 does not apply to: 
large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans that are collectively 
evaluated for impairment; loans measured at fair value or at the lower of cost 
or market; leases as defined in SFAS 13; nor to debt securities as defined in 
SFAS 115.  For FSCO, loans collectively reviewed for impairment include all 
credit card, residential mortgage, and consumer instalment loans, plus 
commercial, multi-family real estate, and commercial real estate loans under 
$1 million.  FSCO's policy for recognizing income and for recording cash 
receipts on its impaired loans is the same as for its nonaccruing loans.
   The impact of SFAS Nos. 114 and 118 on FSCO and its subsidiaries has not 
been, and is not expected to be, material in relation to FSCO's consolidated 
financial statements.

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 $35.60 
million for the first quarter of 1995, an increase of $2.44 million (7.4%) 
from $33.16 million earned in the first quarter of 1994 (see: Financial 
Statements "Condensed Consolidated Income Statements"; and Supplemental Tables 
"Financial Highlights").  These earnings generated a 1.19% return on average 
assets ("ROAA") and a 15.71% return on average equity ("ROAE") for the 
quarter, compared with a 1.34% ROAA and a 15.74% ROAE for the year-ago 
quarter.  Fully-diluted earnings per share were $0.70 for the quarter, up 
$0.03 (4.5%) from $0.67 for the year-ago quarter.
   Since March 31, 1994, FSCO has completed 6 acquisitions, including 
CrossLand Mortgage which was one of the largest cash purchases ever made by 
FSCO (see: MDA "Mergers and Acquisitions").  The combined impact of these 
acquisitions has substantially impacted FSCO's operations, particularly in the 
areas of noninterest income and noninterest expenses.

Net Interest Income
   Net interest income on a fully-taxable equivalent ("FTE") basis was $111.09 
million for the first quarter of 1995, down $1.14 million (1.0%) from the 
year-ago quarter (see: Supplemental Tables "Financial Highlights" and "Rate / 
Volume Analysis").  The FTE net interest margin was 4.06% for the first 
quarter of 1995, down from 4.92% for the year-ago quarter.
   These decreases reflected FSCO's increased reliance on interest-bearing 
liabilities to support the strong loan originations throughout FSCO's market 
areas which generated a 24.2% growth in average loans and a 19.9% growth in 
average earning assets from the first quarter of 1994 to the first quarter of 
1995.  This growth exceeded the 1.5% increase in average noninterest-bearing 
deposits and the 8.0% increase in average total deposits that occurred during 
the same period.  During the first quarter of 1995, deposit costs increased as 
transactional and savings account balances declined and were replaced with 
certificates of deposit (CDs), and as FSCO took aggressive steps to add CDs to 
its funding structure in order to extend maturities, moderate interest rate 
risk, and increase general liquidity.

Provision for Loan Losses
   The provision for loan losses was $2.85 million for the first quarter of 
1995, up $3.02 million from a net recovery in the year-ago quarter (see: MDA 
"Interest-Earning Assets and Asset Quality - Reserve For Loan Losses"; and 
Supplemental Tables "Financial Highlights - Reconciliation of the Reserve For 
Loan Losses").  This was primarily due to net loans charged off, which were 
$5.10 million for the quarter, up $4.43 million (665.8%) from the year-ago 
quarter.  Although the provision increased, it remained near historically low 
levels as FSCO continued to maintain very strong asset quality.  The ratio of 
net loan chargeoffs to average loans was 0.25% for the quarter, up from 0.04% 
for the year-ago quarter.

Noninterest Income
   FSCO's noninterest income and expenses have been impacted by recent 
acquisitions (see: Financial Statements "Condensed Consolidated Income 
Statements"; and MDA "Mergers and Acquisitions").  As a result, comparisons of 
FSCO's noninterest income and noninterest expenses for the first quarter of 
1995 with those of the first quarter of 1994 are not as indicative of FSCO's 
true performance as are comparisons of the first quarter of 1995 with the 
fourth quarter of 1994, which are included for that purpose.
   Noninterest income was $70.87 million for the first quarter of 1995, up 
$30.00 million (73.4%) from the year-ago quarter.  The increases in most 
noninterest income categories were due to volume-related growth and 
acquisitions, plus the impact of CrossLand Mortgage on real estate lending 
activities.  The increase in gain on sales of loans and servicing rights 
occurred as CrossLand Mortgage took advantage of an exceptionally strong loan 
servicing market and sold loan servicing rights in a bulk sale, generating a 
$7.50 million pre-tax gain.  The increases in the gains on investment and 
trading account securities were due to FSCO's active securities management 
strategies and improvements in the securities markets.
   Noninterest income for the first quarter of 1995 was up $12.52 million 
(21.4%) from the fourth quarter of 1994.  After adjusting for the $7.50 
million gain on the sale of loan servicing rights, noninterest income rose 
quarter to quarter by $5.02 million (8.6%), with increases achieved in nearly 
every category.

Noninterest Expenses
   Noninterest expenses were $120.73 million for the first quarter of 1995, up 
$21.15 million (21.2%) from the year-ago quarter (see: Financial Statements 
"Condensed Consolidated Income Statements"; and MDA "Mergers and 
Acquisitions").  These increases were due to volume-related growth and 
acquisitions.  After excluding the noninterest expenses of CrossLand Mortgage, 
FSCO's noninterest expenses were $106.98 million for the first quarter of 
1995, up $7.40 million (7.4%) from the year-ago quarter.
   Noninterest expenses for the first quarter of 1995 were up only $3.40 
million (2.9%) from the fourth quarter of 1994.  Excluding other real estate 
(ORE) expenses and ORE loss provisions, noninterest expenses increased by only 
$493 thousand (0.4%) during this period.
   FSCO's efficiency ratio was 66.35% for the first quarter of 1995, compared 
with 65.04% for the year-ago quarter and down from 66.95% for the fourth 
quarter of 1994.
   CrossLand Mortgage has not yet achieved its objective of a neutral impact 
on FSCO's 1995 pre-tax earnings.  However, CrossLand Mortgage has not only 
been successful in cutting its noninterest expenses, but has also made 
significant adjustments to address changes in the mortgage production market 
and toward integrating into FSCO's corporate structure.

ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

   In the first quarter of 1995, FSCO continued to increase its interest-
earning assets, strengthen its asset quality, improve its liquidity, and 
maintain a well-capitalized position, as compared with March 31, 1994 and 
December 31, 1994.
   FSCO's assets totaled $12.19 billion at March 31, 1995, up $1.44 billion 
(13.4%) from March 31, 1994, but remaining essentially unchanged from December 
31, 1994.  Total earning assets were $11.12 billion at quarter end, up $1.30 
billion (13.3%) from one year ago, and up $100 million (0.9%) from the year 
end (see: MDA "Interest-Earning Assets and Asset Quality").  Growth in the 
loan portfolio was the primary factor for the increases.  Fluctuations in 
other assets and other liabilities were in part due to accounts receivable and 
accounts payable related to unsettled transactions arising from the purchase 
and sale of securities.  Intangible assets were $149.83 million at March 31, 
1995, up $137.13 million (1,079.9%) from March 31, 1994, but down $16.37 
million (9.9%) from December 31, 1994.  The increase from one year ago was due 
to the intangible assets created by the acquisition of CrossLand Mortgage, 
while the decrease from the year end was due to the effects of ongoing 
amortization plus the sale of mortgage servicing rights.
   FSCO's liabilities totaled $11.24 billion at March 31, 1995, up $1.34 
billion (13.5%) from March 31, 1994, but essentially unchanged from December 
31, 1994.  Total interest-bearing liabilities were $9.38 billion at quarter 
end, up $1.28 billion (15.8%) from one year ago, also essentially unchanged 
from the year end (see: MDA "Liquidity").  Interest-bearing liabilities were 
increased to support loan growth.
   Total stockholders' equity in FSCO increased to a record $946.66 million at 
March 31, 1995, up $105.01 million (12.5%) from March 31, 1994, and up $57.19 
million (6.4%) from December 31, 1994 (see: MDA "Stockholders' Equity and 
Capital Adequacy").  This growth was due primarily to record earnings in 1994 
combined with the effects of pooling-of-interests mergers.
   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 its 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 $8.18 billion at March 31, 1995, up $1.51 billion (22.6%) 
from March 31, 1994, but essentially unchanged from December 31, 1994 (see: 
Supplemental Tables "Loans Outstanding").  The increase from one year ago was 
due primarily to increased lending activity, especially in consumer loans and 
residential mortgages, plus the positive impact of acquisitions.  The ratio of 
loans to assets was 67.14% at March 31, 1995, compared with 62.11% one year 
ago and 67.28% at year-end.
   The components of FSCO's loan portfolio at March 31, 1995, compared with 
March 31, 1994, and December 31, 1994, respectively, included:
   * Commercial loans were $1.85 billion, up $315 million (20.5%) from one 
year ago, and up $16 million (0.9%) from year end.  This growth was due 
primarily to increases in loans made to FSCO's small- and middle-market 
customers.
   * Real estate secured loans were $3.16 billion, up $611 million (23.9%) 
from one year ago, and up $20 million (0.6%) from year end.  This growth was 
due in large part to increased retention of loans, which were primarily 
adjustable-rate mortgages, combined with the CrossLand Mortgage acquisition 
and the effects of other acquisitions.  For balance sheet management purposes, 
FSCO did not retain all newly-originated fixed-rate mortgage loans but sold 
the majority to secondary markets.
   * Consumer loans were $2.83 billion, up $523 million (22.7%) from one year 
ago, and remained essentially unchanged from year end.  The increase from one 
year ago was due primarily to growth in indirect auto loans, reflecting FSCO's 
position as the leading consumer lender in FSCO's primary market area.

Problem Assets
   Problem assets were reduced to $33.06 million at March 31, 1995, down 
$19.87 million (37.5%) from March 31, 1994, and down $6.16 million (15.7%) 
from December 31, 1994 (see: Supplemental Tables "Financial Highlights - 
Problem Assets, - Selected Ratios").  The ratio of total problem assets to 
total loans and ORE was 0.40% at quarter end, down from 0.79% one year ago and 
0.48% at year end.  These decreases were 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 FSCO'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 FSCO to take a conservative approach in its analysis of the reserve for 
loan losses.
   The components of FSCO's problem assets at March 31, 1995, compared with 
March 31, 1994, and December 31, 1994, respectively, included:
   * Nonaccruing loans were $19.21 million, down $8.56 million (30.8%) from 
one year ago, and down $4.66 million (19.5%) from year end.  The ratio of 
nonaccruing loans to total loans was 0.23%, down from 0.42% and 0.29%.
   * ORE and other foreclosed assets were $2.33 million, down $12.51 million 
(84.3%) from one year ago, and down $1.02 million (30.4%) from year end.  
These decreases were due in part 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 $11.52 million, up $1.20 
million (11.6%) from one year ago, but down $483 thousand (4.0%) from year 
end.
   Potential problem loans identified by FSCO were $18.26 million at March 31, 
1995, down $5.05 million (21.7%) from $23.31 at March 31, 1994 due to the 
liquidation of several loans that were previously classified as potential 
problem loans, but up $6.24 million (51.9%) from $12.02 at December 31, 1994 
due in part to a deterioration of agricultural and small commercial loans.  
Potential problem loans consisted primarily of commercial loans and 
agricultural loans.

Reserve for Loan Losses:
   It is FSCO's philosophy to maintain a conservative balance sheet, including 
its reserve for loan losses.  FSCO's philosophy regarding the adequacy and use 
of its reserve was discussed in greater detail in FSCO's 1994 Form 10-K: 
"Interest-Earning Assets and Asset Quality - Reserve for Loan Losses".
   The reserve for loan losses was $131.60 million at March 31, 1995, down 
$2.61 million (1.9%) from March 31, 1994, and down $2.25 million (1.7%) from 
December 31, 1994 (see: Supplemental Tables "Financial Highlights - 
Reconciliation of the Reserve for Loan Losses, - Selected Ratios").  These 
slight reductions in the reserve were made possible due to improved asset 
quality, and the acquisition of CrossLand Mortgage which had loans held for 
resale that did not require corresponding reserves for loan losses.  The 
resulting ratio of the reserve for loan losses to total loans was 1.61% at 
quarter end, down from 2.01% one year ago and 1.64% at year end.  At the same 
time, the "coverage" ratio of the reserve for loan losses to nonaccruing loans 
increased to 685.25% at quarter end, up from 483.35% one year ago and 560.81% 
at year end.  Merger transactions added reserves of $5.07 million since one 
year ago but none since 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 were $5.10 million for the first quarter of 1995, up $4.43 million 
(665.8%) from the year-ago quarter.  This was due primarily to increased 
consumer loan losses.  However, FSCO continued to maintain very strong asset 
quality and to benefit from the positive effects of a healthy regional 
economy.  The ratio of net loan chargeoffs to average loans was 0.25% for the 
quarter, up from 0.04% for the year-ago quarter.

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 remained essentially unchanged at 
$2.04 billion at March 31, 1995, up $84 million (4.3%) from March 31, 1994, 
and up $50 million (2.5%) from December 31, 1994.  FSCO's securities held to 
maturity were $244 million at March 31, 1995, down $26 million (9.7%) from 
March 31, 1994, and down $9 million (3.4%) 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 $648.02 million at March 31, 1995, down $264.08 million 
(29.0%) from March 31, 1994, but up $49.05 million (8.2%) 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 need for funds.

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 maintains an adequate liquidity position through stable core deposits 
generated from its wide-spread branch network, short-term securities 
portfolios, other interest-earning assets, and the prudent usage 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 borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of which 
FSB Utah, FSB Idaho, and FSB Oregon are members, and from the Federal Reserve 
System.

Deposits
   * FSCO's deposits totaled $8.27 billion at March 31, 1995, up $763 million 
(10.2%) from March 31, 1994, and up $219 million (2.7%) from December 31, 1994 
(see: Financial Statements "Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets" and 
Supplemental Tables "Rate / Volume Analysis").  These increases were due to 
deposits generated from FSCO's widespread branch network and the positive 
impact of recent acquisitions.  The mix of deposits at quarter end shifted 
slightly as interest-bearing deposits increased to 80.0% of total deposits, up 
from 79.3% one year ago and 78.7% at year end.  This occurred as FSCO took 
aggressive steps to add CDs to its funding structure in order to extend 
maturities, moderate interest rate risk, and increase general liquidity.

Borrowed Funds
   Borrowed funds totaled $2.76 billion at March 31, 1995, up $615 million 
(28.7%) from March 31, 1994, but down $270 million (8.9%) 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 largely offset continued strong 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 March 31, 1995, compared with 
March 31, 1994, and December 31, 1994, respectively, included:
   * Federal funds purchased and securities sold under repurchase agreements 
were $1.91 billion, up $101 million (5.6%) from one year ago, but down $254 
million (11.8%) from year end.
   * All other short-term borrowings were $171 million, up $128 million 
(295.9%) from one year ago, but down $14 million (7.5%) from year end.
   * Long-term debt was $684 million, up $386 million (129.8%) from one year 
ago, but down $2 million (0.2%) from year end.

STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY and CAPITAL ADEQUACY

   FSCO and its subsidiary Banks exceeded regulatory requirements for "well 
capitalized" status throughout 1994 and year-to-date 1995.  It is FSCO's 
policy to maintain this status at both the consolidated and subsidiary Bank 
levels.
   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.
   Total stockholders' equity increased to a record $946.66 million at March 
31, 1995, up $105.01 million (12.5%) from March 31, 1994, and up $57.19 
million (6.4%) from December 31, 1994 (see: Financial Statements "Condensed 
Consolidated Balance Sheets").  This growth was due primarily to record 
earnings and pooling-of-interests mergers, combined with the impact of 
fluctuations in SFAS 115.  The ratio of stockholders' equity to total assets 
was 7.77% at March 31, 1995, compared with 7.83% one year ago, and up from 
7.32% at year end.  At the same time, the ratio of tangible common equity to 
tangible total assets was 6.61%, compared with 7.72% one year ago and 6.03% at 
year end (see: Supplemental Tables "Financial Highlights - Selected Ratios").  
Changes in these equity ratios were due in part to FSCO's acquisition of 
CrossLand Mortgage and the resulting growth in total assets and intangible 
assets, plus fluctuations in SFAS 115.
   FSCO's risk-based capital ratios (see: Supplemental Tables "Financial 
Highlights - Risk-Based Capital Ratios") at March 31, 1995, compared with 
March 31, 1994, and December 31, 1994, respectively, were:
   * Tier 1 (well capitalized: 6.0% or above) at 10.00%, compared with 11.51% 
one year ago, and 9.84% at year end.
   * Total Capital (well capitalized: 10.0% or above) at 12.12%, compared with 
13.79% one year ago, and 11.98% at year end.
   * Leverage (well capitalized: 5.0% or above) at 7.11%, compared with 7.81% 
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 acquisition of CrossLand Mortgage and the resulting 
growth in total assets and intangible assets, plus fluctuations pursuant to 
SFAS 115.

COMMON AND PREFERRED STOCK

   On January 23, 1995, FSCO increased its regular quarterly cash dividend to 
$0.28 a share, up $0.02 per share (7.7%) from the previous $0.26 per share 
paid in each quarter of 1994 (see: Supplemental Tables "Financial 
Highlights").  The higher quarterly cash dividend resulted in an indicated 
annualized dividend rate of $1.12 per share.  At the market closing price of 
$23.25 per share on Friday, January 20, 1995 (the last market day before the 
announcement of the dividend increase), the annualized dividend yield on 
FSCO's Common Stock was 4.82%.
   FSCO has paid cash dividends for 60 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 March 31, 1994, FSCO has completed 6 acquisitions, including 
CrossLand Mortgage which was one of the largest cash purchases ever made by 
FSCO.  The year-to-year comparisons of FSCO's results of operations and 
financial condition were substantially impacted by these acquisitions, 
particularly in the areas of noninterest income and noninterest expenses.
   On February 13, 1995, First Security Insurance, Inc. acquired Gaskill 
Insurance Agency, Inc. (located in Ogden, Utah) with 2 offices and $1.45 
million in assets.  This acquisition was accounted for using the pooling-of-
interests method of accounting.
   On March 17, 1995, CrossLand Mortgage acquired assets totaling $705 
thousand of Performance Mortgage Corp. (headquartered in Santa Ann, 
California), including 9 offices.  This acquisition was accounted for using 
the purchase method of accounting.

NATIONAL AND REGIONAL ECONOMY

   Throughout the first quarter of 1995, indications of slower national 
growth, combined with continued benign inflation reports, helped influence 
Treasury note and bond yields to be significantly lower.  This change in 
market yields occurred despite an additional end-of-January increase in the 
Fed funds rate to 6%.  The economic softness was centered in residential 
construction and consumer spending - particularly for automobiles and other 
consumer durables.  Additionally, the currency crisis in the Mexican peso will 
likely reduce U.S. exports to Mexico substantially in 1995.
   The U.S. dollar exchange value declined sharply against the Japanese yen in 
the first quarter of 1995.  Through mid-April, the U.S. stock and bond markets 
had not been directly impacted by the dollar/yen exchange-rate weakness.  In 
the months ahead, an inflation rate of 3.0% to 3.5% appears probable.  This, 
together with some ongoing softness in economic growth, suggests that interest 
rate stability near current levels appears most probable.
   The strong economic growth that characterized the Intermountain West in 
1994 has continued in the first quarter of 1995.  Population and job gains in 
Nevada, Utah, Idaho, and New Mexico remain among the highest in the nation.  
Rapid expansion in commercial and industrial construction has helped sustain 
overall health in the construction industry.  The regional economic outlook 
for 1995 remains generally 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.
