                        KEYBANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (Wyoming)

                            NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                  December 31, 1996

1.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

KeyBank National Association (Wyoming) (the "Company"), formerly known as 
KeyBank of Wyoming, serves 24 communities in Wyoming.  The Company's 
community banking offices provide a full range of banking services, primarily 
in small and medium-sized communities and the surrounding communities.  In 
addition to its primary emphasis on commercial and consumer banking services, 
the Company offers nondeposit investment products and services.  The Company 
is a wholly owned subsidiary of KeyBank of the Rocky Mountains, Inc., which 
is a wholly owned subsidiary of KeyCorp.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

HELD-TO-MATURITY AND AVAILABLE-FOR-SALE SECURITIES

Management determines the classification of debt securities at the time of 
purchase.  Debt securities are classified as held-to-maturity when the 
Company has the positive intent and ability to hold the securities to 
maturity.  Held-to-maturity securities are stated at amortized cost.

Debt securities not classified as held-to-maturity are classified as
available-for-sale.  Available-for-sale securities are stated at fair value,
with the unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, reported as a component of
retained earnings in shareholder's equity.

The amortized cost of debt securities classified as held-to-maturity or
available-for-sale is adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of
discounts to maturity or, in the case of mortgage-backed securities, over the
estimated life of the security.  Such amortization and accretion is included as
an adjustment to interest income from investment securities.  Realized gains 
and losses and declines in value judged to be other-than-temporary are included
in net securities gains (losses).  The cost of securities sold is based on the
specific identification method.

LOANS

Loans are carried at the principal amount outstanding, net of unearned income,
including net deferred loan fees and costs.  Certain nonrefundable loan
origination and commitment fees and the direct costs associated with originating
or acquiring the loans are deferred.  The net deferred amount is amortized as an
adjustment to the yield over the estimated lives of the related loans.

IMPAIRED AND OTHER NONACCRUAL LOANS

The accrual of interest on loans is discontinued generally when payment is 90
days or more past due, unless the loan is well secured and in the process of
collection.  When accrual of interest is discontinued on a loan, the interest
accrued but not collected is charged against the allowance for loan losses.
Thereafter, payments received are generally applied to principal.  However,
based on management's assessment of the ultimate collectibility of a nonaccrual
loan interest income may be recognized on a cash basis.

Effective January 1, 1995, the Company adopted SFAS No. 114, "Accounting by
Creditors for Impairment of a Loan" and SFAS No. 118, "Accounting by Creditors
for Impairment of a Loan - Income Recognition and Disclosure".  In accordance
with SFAS No. 114, the Company excludes smaller-balance, homogeneous from its
impairment evaluation.  All other  loans with payments 90 days or more past due
and on nonaccrual status are considered to be impaired.  Impaired loans and
other nonaccrual loans (smaller-balance, homogeneous loans) are returned to
accrual status when management determines that the circumstances have improved
to the extent that there has been a sustained period (generally at least six
months) of repayment performance and both principal and interest are deemed to
be collectible.

Impaired loans are evaluated individually.  Where collateral exists, the extent
of impairment is determined based on the estimated fair value of the underlying
collateral.  If collateral does not exist, or is insufficient to support the
carrying amount of the loan, management looks to other means of collection.
Where the estimated fair value of the collateral and the present value of the
estimated future cash flows from other means of collection do not support the
carrying amount of the loan, management charges off that portion of the loan
balance which it believes will not ultimately be collected.  In instances where
collateral or other sources of repayment are sufficient, yet uncertainty exists
regarding the ultimate repayment, an allowance is specifically allocated for in
the allowance for loan losses.

For all other nonaccrual loans (smaller-balances, homogeneous loans) management
applies historical loss experience rates, adjusted based on management's
assessment of emerging credit trends and other factors.  The resulting loss
estimates are specifically allocated for by loan type in the allowance for loan
losses.  In general, such loans are charged off when payment is 120-180 days
past due.

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

The allowance for loan losses is maintained through charges to expense at an
amount that will provide for estimated loan losses.  These estimates are based
principally on a continual review of the loan portfolio, loan charge-off
experience, economic conditions and industry guidelines.  Ultimate losses may
vary from current estimates, and as adjustments become necessary, the allowance
for loan losses is adjusted in the periods in which such losses become known or
fail to occur.  Actual loan charge-offs and subsequent recoveries are deducted
from and added to the allowance, respectively.

BANK PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT

Bank premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.
Depreciation for financial reporting purposes is provided on the straight-line
method over the estimated lives of the assets and includes amortization of
assets recorded under capital leases.  Estimated lives range from three to
twenty and twenty-five to forty years for equipment and premises, respectively.

INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Goodwill, the excess cost over net assets acquired is amortized over a period 
not exceeding 25 years.  At December 31, 1996, goodwill totaled $319,000 net of
accumulated amortization of $1,137,000.  Other intangible assets totaled 
$492,000 net of accumulated amortization of $8,610,000 and are amortized over 
their estimated useful lives ranging from three to twenty-five years.

INCOME TAXES

Income taxes have been provided using the liability method in accordance with
SFAS No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes".  The provision for income taxes has
been calculated based on statutory rates applicable had the Company filed a
separate return.

EARNINGS PER SHARE

Earnings per common share is calculated by dividing net income by the sum of the
weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash and cash equivalents is defined as cash and due from banks, federal funds
sold and securities purchased under agreements to resell.

2.  ACCOUNTING CHANGES

Effective January 1, 1996, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of," which requires that long-lived
assets and certain identifiable intangibles be reviewed for impairment whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset
is not recoverable.  The Company's adoption of SFAS No. 121 did not have a
material impact on the Company's financial position.

SFAS No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and
Extinguishment of Liabilities," addresses whether the transfer of financial
assets should be accounted for as a sale and removed from the balance sheet, or
as a financing recognized as a borrowing.  SFAS No. 125 uses a "financial
components" approach to determine the accounting results of the transfers of
financial assets and focuses on control to determine whether assets have been
sold.  If the entity has surrendered control over the transferred assets, the
transaction is considered a sale.  Control is considered surrendered only if the
seller has no legal right to the assets, even in bankruptcy; the buyer has the
right to pledge or exchange the assets; and the seller does not maintain
effective control over the assets through an agreement to repurchase or redeem
them.  SFAS No. 125 is effective on a prospective basis for all transactions
occurring after December 31, 1996.  The Company regularly uses participations of
loans to manage its asset/liability mix.  The accounting for such transactions
is included in SFAS No. 125.  However, the adoption of SFAS No. 125 is not
expected to have a material effect on the Company's operations or financial
position.

    generally were based on quoted market prices.  Where quoted market prices
    were not available, fair values were based on quoted market prices of
    similar instruments.
(3) Fair values of loans were generally estimated using discounted cash flow
    models.
(4) Fair values of certificates of deposit were estimated based on discounted
    cash flows.  For all other deposits, carrying amounts were used as a
    reasonable approximation of fair values.
(5) Fair values of long-term debt were estimated based on discounted cash
    flows.

7.  FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE-SHEET RISK AND CONCENTRATIONS OF
CREDIT RISK

In the normal course of business, the Company is party to financial instruments
with off-balance-sheet risk.  These transactions enable customers to meet their
financing needs and enable the Company to manage its interest rate risk.  These
financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and letters of
credit.  The contract or notional amounts of these financial instruments at
December 31, 1996 are as follows (in thousands):

                                       1996
- --------------------------------------------
Commitments to extend credit       $ 148,038
Standby letters of credit              3,017

Commitments to extend credit are legally binding and have fixed expiration dates
or other termination clauses.  The Company's exposure to credit loss on
commitments to extend credit, in the event of nonperformance by the
counterparty, is represented by the contractual amounts of the commitments.  The
Company monitors its credit risk for commitments to extend credit by applying
the same credit policies in making commitments as it does for loans and by
obtaining collateral to secure commitments based on management's credit
assessment of the counterparty.  Collateral held varies, but may include
marketable securities, receivables, inventory, agricultural commodities,
equipment and real estate.  Because many of the commitments are expected to
expire without being drawn upon, total commitment amounts do not necessarily
represent the Company's future liquidity requirements.  In addition, the Company
also offers various consumer credit line products to its customers that are
cancelable upon notification by the Company, which are included above in
commitments to extend credit.


                                       F-10
<PAGE>

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to
guarantee the financial performance of a customer to a third party.  Those
guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing
arrangements.

The amount of collateral obtained to support letters of credit is based on a
credit assessment of the counterparty.  Collateral held may include marketable
securities, receivables, inventory, agricultural commodities, equipment and real
estate.  Because the conditions under which the Company is required to fund
letters of credit may not materialize, the liquidity requirements of letters of
credit are expected to be less than the total outstanding commitments.

The Company grants real estate, agricultural, commercial, consumer and other
loans and commitments and letters of credit to customers throughout Wyoming.
Although the Company has a diversified loan portfolio, the ability of a
significant portion of its debtors to honor their contracts is dependent upon
the agricultural economic sector.  The maximum exposure to accounting loss that
could occur, if the borrowers fail to perform according to the loan agreements
and the underlying collateral proved to be of no value, is the total loan
portfolio balances and commitments and letters of credit.

CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

The Company is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered
by the federal banking agencies.  Failure to meet minimum capital requirements
can initiate certain mandatory, and possibly additional discretionary, actions
by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the
Company's financial statements.  Under capital adequacy guidelines and the
regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company must meet
specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Company's
assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under
regulatory accounting practices.  The Company's capital amounts and
classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about
components, risk weightings, and other factors.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy
require the Company to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of total and Tier I
capital to risk-weighted assets, and of Tier I capital to average assets.

As of December 31, 1996, the Company is considered well capitalized under the
regulatory framework for prompt corrective action.  To be categorized as well
capitalized, the Company must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I
risk-based, and Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in the following table.
