FSCO's pooling of interests acquisition of California State Bank, and all net

* Net income, before acquisition charges, of $124.5 million, up $23.3 million 
  or 23.0%.
* Earnings per share diluted, before acquisition charges, of $0.64, up $0.10 or 
  18.5%.
* Noninterest income of $227.1 million, up $64.3 million or 39.5%.
* Total assets of $19.4 billion at June 30, 1998, up $2.9 billion or 18.0%.
* Stockholders' equity of $1.5 billion at June 30, 1998, up $0.2 billion or 
  14.9%.
* On May 29, 1998, FSCO acquired California State Bank (Nasdaq: CSTB).

   SALT LAKE CITY -- First Security Corporation (Nasdaq: FSCO) earned net 
income, before one-time CSTB acquisition charges of $7.2 million after tax, 
totaling $124.5 million for the first six months of 1998, up $23.3 million or 
23.0% from the corresponding 1997 period.  This net income generated a 1.35% 
return on average assets (ROAA) and a 17.12% return on average equity (ROAE) 
for the year to date, essentially unchanged from a 1.35% ROAA and a 16.75% ROAE 
for the year-ago period.  Earnings per share diluted were $0.64 for year-to-
date 1998, up $0.10 or 18.5% from the year-ago period.  The tangible ROAA was 
1.56%, the tangible ROAE was 24.93%, and tangible earnings per share diluted 
were $0.72 for the year to date, compared with a 1.48% tangible ROAA, a 21.51% 
tangible ROAE, and tangible earnings per share diluted of $0.59 for the year-
ago period.
   FSCO's net income, before acquisition charges, was $63.1 million for the 
second quarter of 1998, up $11.9 million or 23.3% from the second quarter of 
1997.  This net income generated a 1.33% ROAA and a 16.66% ROAE for the 
quarter, essentially unchanged from a 1.33% ROAA and a 16.91% ROAE for the 
year-ago quarter.  Earnings per share diluted were $0.32 for the second quarter 
of 1998, up $0.04 or 14.3% from the year-ago quarter.  The tangible ROAA was 
1.55%, the tangible ROAE was 24.73%, and tangible earnings per share diluted 
were $0.37 for the quarter, compared with a 1.46% tangible ROAA, a 21.83% 
tangible ROAE, and tangible earnings per share diluted of $0.30 for the year-
ago quarter.
   Net income, after acquisition charges, totaled $117.3 million for year-to-
date 1998, up $16.1 million or 15.9% from the year-ago period, and was $55.9 
million for the second quarter of 1998, up $4.7 million or 9.2% from the year-
ago quarter.  Earnings per share diluted were $0.60 for the year to date, up 
$0.06 or 11.1% from the year-ago period, and were $0.29 for the second quarter, 
up $0.01 or 3.6% from the year-ago quarter.
   Spencer F. Eccles, FSCO chairman and chief executive officer, said, "We are 
very pleased with First Security's performance for the first six months of 
1998, which continues to build on our past achievements.  Key factors for the 
year-to-date results included a 22.3% growth in average loans, a 39.5% increase 
in noninterest income, and the continued 110% efforts of our dedicated 
employees.  As a result, First Security continues to be a strong performer as 
measured by growth in both our shareholder returns and customer base."
   Discussing the CSTB acquisition, he said, "On May 29, 1998, we acquired 
California State Bank in West Covina, California.  Originally, we had expected 
the ongoing operations of this newest subsidiary to be neutral to our earnings 
by the end of 1998, but are pleased to report that this neutrality has been 
achieved ahead of schedule."
Total Revenues
   FSCO's total revenues (the sum of net interest income and noninterest 
income) were $564.3 million for year-to-date 1998, up $104.5 million or 22.7% 
from the year-ago period, and were $291.5 million for the second quarter of 
1998, up $57.0 million or 24.3% from the year-ago quarter.  On a linked quarter 
basis, FSCO's total revenues for the second quarter of 1998 increased $18.7 
million or 6.8% over the first quarter of 1998.
   FSCO's net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent (FTE) basis was 
$342.6 million for year-to-date 1998, up $41.7 million or 13.9% from the year-
ago period, and was $175.8 million for the second quarter of 1998, up $21.4 
million or 13.9% from the year-ago quarter.  These increases were due to a 
combination of continued strong demand for loans, growth in the securities 
portfolios, and the positive impact of three purchase accounting acquisitions 
completed in the last twelve months including Harbourton Mortgage Co., L.P. 
(HMC), American Bancorp of Nevada, and Rio Grande Bancshares, Inc. (RGB).  On a 
linked quarter basis, FSCO's net interest income FTE for the second quarter of 
1998 increased $8.9 million or 5.3% over the first quarter of 1998.
   FSCO's net interest margins for the year-to-date and second quarter of 1998 
were identical at 4.15%, and each was down 33 basis points from 4.48% for the 
year-to-date and second quarter of 1997.  These decreases were due to a 
combination of the following factors: strong volume growth in loans, especially 
refinanced mortgages, which were originated at lower rates but funded by 
additional short term borrowed funds and deposits at relatively constant rates; 
and a small shift in the deposit mix from transaction accounts to time deposits 
with higher rates.  On a linked quarter basis from the first quarter of 1998 to 
the second quarter of 1998, FSCO's net interest margin remained unchanged while 
net interest income was increased through its mortgage and lending activities.
   FSCO's noninterest income was $227.1 million for year-to-date 1998, up $64.3 
million or 39.5% from the year-ago period, and was $118.5 million for the 
second quarter of 1998, up $36.5 million or 44.5% from the year-ago quarter.  
These increases were due to several factors including: strong growth in net 
mortgage banking activities generated by lower interest rates plus the March 
31, 1997 purchase of HMC; gains from ongoing asset securitizations / sales; and 
FSCO's continued emphasis on improving its value pricing of all fee-based 
services and on increasing and diversifying its sources of noninterest income. 
 FSCO's noninterest income amounted to 40.24% of total revenues for year-to-
date 1998, up from 35.39% for the year-ago period, and was 40.67% of total 
revenues for the quarter, up from 34.97% for the year-ago quarter.  On a linked 
quarter basis, FSCO's noninterest income for the second quarter of 1998 
increased $10.0 million or 9.2% from the first quarter of 1998.
Noninterest Expenses
   FSCO's noninterest expenses, before one-time CSTB acquisition charges of 
$6.9 million pre-tax, were $343.1 million for year-to-date 1998, up $69.0 
million or 25.2% from the year-ago period, and were $177.3 million for the 
second quarter of 1998, up $36.7 million or 26.1% from the year-ago quarter.  
These increases were primarily due to the following: the impact of the three 
purchase accounting acquisitions (discussed above) on ongoing operations; 
additions of revenue-generating personnel; ongoing volume growth; the cost of 
necessary technological advances and upgrades including "Year 2000" 
expenditures; and one-time costs associated with the creation of a "Section 20" 
full-service securities broker / dealer subsidiary.  Mr. Eccles commented, 
"First Security continues to strengthen its control of ongoing noninterest 
expenses while expending funds required to support strong growth, multiple 
acquisitions, and investments in technology appropriate for a high performance 
financial services company."
   FSCO's operating expense ratio (the ratio of noninterest expenses to the sum 
of net interest income FTE and noninterest income), before acquisition charges, 
was 60.23% for year-to-date 1998, up 111 basis points from the year-ago period, 
and was 60.26% for the second quarter of 1998, up 74 basis from the year-ago 
quarter.
   FSCO's subsidiary, CrossLand Mortgage, has a higher operating expense ratio 
than FSCO's bank subsidiaries due to its labor intensive business of 
originating, selling, and servicing mortgage loans.  Excluding both CrossLand 
Mortgage and acquisition charges, FSCO's "core" efficiency ratio was 56.16% for 
year-to-date 1998, up 78 basis points from the year-ago period, and was 56.13% 
for the second quarter of 1998, up 58 basis points from the year-ago quarter.
Interest-Earning Assets and Asset Quality
   FSCO's assets totaled $19.4 billion at June 30, 1998, up $1.2 billion or 
6.7% from year-end 1997, and up $2.9 billion or 18.0% from one year ago.  Loans 
were $12.5 billion at quarter end, up $1.3 billion or 11.6% from year end, and 
up $2.0 billion or 19.0% from one year ago.
   The ratio of nonperforming assets to total loans and other real estate was 
0.35% at June 30, 1998, down from 0.38% at year-end 1997 and 0.45% one year 
ago.  Nonperforming assets totaled $43.6 million at quarter end, up $0.7 
million or 1.6% from year end, but down $3.7 million or 7.7% from one year ago.
   FSCO's reserve for loan losses was increased to $166.7 million at June 30, 
1998, up $9.1 million or 5.8% from year end 1997, and up $16.5 million or 11.0% 
from one year ago.  The ratio of the reserve to total loans was 1.33% at 
quarter end, down from 1.40% at year end and 1.43% one year ago.
   The annualized ratio of net loans charged off to average loans was 0.42% for 
year-to-date 1998, down from 0.52% for the year-ago period, and was 0.49% for 
the second quarter of 1998, compared with 0.50% for the year-ago quarter.  Net 
loans charged off against the reserve were $24.8 million for year-to-date 1998, 
down $0.4 million or 1.6% from the year-ago period, and were $15.0 million for 
the second quarter of 1998, up $2.4 million or 19.1% from the year-ago quarter. 
 FSCO's provision for loan losses was $31.0 million for year-to-date 1998, up 
$2.8 million or 9.8% from the year-ago period, and was $18.4 million for the 
second quarter of 1998, up $4.3 million or 30.7% from the year-ago quarter.
Stockholders' Equity and Common Stock
   FSCO's stockholders' equity was increased to $1.5 billion at June 30, 1998, 
up $0.1 billion or 10.1% from year-end 1997 and up $0.2 billion or 14.9% from 
one year ago.  This growth was due to the following: earnings retained; 
issuances of new FSCO common stock shares for acquisitions; and the impact of 
the SFAS 115 net unrealized gain on available for sale securities; partially 
offset by repurchases of common stock in the public markets in 1997 and early 
1998.  FSCO's ratio of stockholders' equity to total assets was 7.97% at June 
30, 1998, compared with 7.72% at year-end 1997 and 8.18% one year ago.  The 
ratio of tangible common equity to tangible assets was 6.26% at quarter end, 
compared with 6.24% at year end and 6.68% one year ago, reflecting the goodwill 
recognized with the RGB merger and the ongoing origination of mortgage 
servicing rights.
Mergers and Acquisitions
   On May 29, 1998, FSCO acquired California State Bank, headquartered in West 
Covina, California.  CSTB had year-end 1997 assets of $849.2 million and 17 
branches serving small- and middle-market business customers and retail banking 
clients in the San Gabriel Valley, as well as Orange, Riverside, and San 
Bernardino counties of Southern California.  This transaction was accounted for 
as a pooling of interests, requiring the restatement of all prior period FSCO 
financial statements.  FSCO incurred one-time acquisition charges for this 
transaction of $7.2 million or $0.037 per share after tax.
   On July 1, 1998, FSCO merged and renamed its subsidiaries, First National 
Bank of Dona Ana County and First National Bank of Chaves County, as First 
Security Bank of Southern New Mexico.
National and Regional Economy
   While consumer spending and other areas of financial demand remained solid 
in the second quarter, evidences of Asia-related weaknesses in commodity prices 
and in the manufacturing sector were clearly observable.  Aided by the low 
interest rates, housing and automobile sales were sustained at high levels.  
With inflation near 1.5%, real incomes were pushed higher and declining import 
prices provided incentives for aggressive buying.  Job gains were steady in the 
second quarter, but in June, the nation's jobless rate edged slightly higher to 
4.5%.
   By midyear, it had become evident that the Asian financial crisis was a huge 
difficulty that would persist for an extended period of time.  More than just a 
recession, Asia (including Japan) is facing broad-based debt deflation, with 
the banking sector burdened with a tremendous volume of bad loans.  
Accordingly, the Japanese yen has weakened against the dollar, and the U.S. 
international trade deficit has widened and will continue to do so.  In the 
second half of 1998, commodity prices likely will remain under pressure, and 
corporate profit margins are expected to narrow.  In this slower-growth 
environment, it seems more probable that the Federal Reserve may lower rather 
than increase interest rates.
   Economic activity in the western United States recorded sustained growth in 
the second quarter.  Rates of expansion are somewhat below last year, but most 
states' labor markets continue at or near full employment.  The lower mortgage 
and other lending rates have aided the residential and automobile sales 
climate.
Business
   With $19.4 billion in assets and $11.9 billion in deposits, First Security 
Corporation is the largest financial services organization headquartered in the 
Intermountain West, and is the nation's oldest multistate bank holding company. 
 Incorporated on June 15, 1928, FSCO celebrates its 70th anniversary this year. 
 FSCO's banks currently operate 315 full service domestic bank offices in Utah, 
Idaho, Oregon, Wyoming, New Mexico, Nevada, and California.  Nonbank 
subsidiaries include a residential mortgage loan company, a leasing company, 
two insurance subsidiaries, an investment management company, a full-service 
retail securities broker / dealer, a "Section 20" full-service securities 
broker / dealer, a bankcard transaction processing company, an information 
technology subsidiary, and a small business investment corporation.
