ITEM 1.   FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The consolidated condensed financial statements of First State Bancorporation
(the "Company") are attached as Exhibit A.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET

The Company's total assets increased by $34,781,000 from $252,981,000 as of
December 31, 1995 to $287,762,000 as of June 30, 1996, due to internal growth.
For the first six months of 1996, net loans increased by $37,858,000 from
$182,009,000 to $219,867,000 while investment  securities decreased by
$3,026,000 from $38,676,000 to $35,650,000.  For the first six months of 1996,
other assets increased $288,000 from $17,508,000 to $17,796,000.

The increase in loans is due largely to increased economic activity and demand
for loans secured by real estate in the Company's market area.  Total commercial
loans increased by approximately $10,388,000, real estate loans increased by
approximately $16,750,000 and consumer loans increased by approximately
$2,220,000.  The company also began a leasing division in January 1996 and new
leases  totaling approximately $8,500,000 were funded in the first six months of
1996.  Investment securities decreased as a result of maturities.  Purchases of
premises and equipment, the majority of which resulted from construction of a
branch facility, accounted for $512,000 of the increase in other assets.

At June 30, 1996, one branch remains under construction in Bernalillo, which is
expected to be completed in August 1996.

Deposits, which are the Company's main source of funds for loans, investments
and federal funds sold, increased by $19,617,000 from $218,847,000 as of
December 31, 1995 to $238,464,000 as of June 30, 1996.  Non interest-bearing
deposits increased by $6,913,000 and interest-bearing deposits increased by
$12,704,000.  For the first six months of 1996, other liabilities increased by
$14,621,000 due largely to borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of
$8,000,000, federal funds purchased of $3,970,000 and an increase in securities
sold under repurchase agreements of $2,116,000.

CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996.

Net income for the Company for the three months ended June 30, 1996, was
$275,000, a decrease of $306,000 or 53% from $581,000 for the same period of
1995.  The Company's return on average assets was 0.40% for the second quarter
of 1996, compared to 1.13% for the same period of 1995.  The most significant
items contributing to this decrease were a $516,000 provision for loan losses
and an increase of $1,032,000 in non-interest expenses.

The provision for loan losses increased by $398,000 from the same quarter of
1995 as a result of net charge-offs of $286,000 and approximately $20,000,000 in
loan growth in the second quarter of 1996.

Net interest income before provision for loan losses increased $669,000 to
$3,967,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1996, from $3,298,000 for the
three months ended June 30, 1995, due to increased loan  volume.  The Company's
net interest margin decreased to 6.43% at June 30, 1996, from 6.84% at June 30,
1995.  This decrease was due to increased interest expense due to higher deposit
rates and growth in the volume of interest bearing deposits.

                                       1
<PAGE>
 
Total non-interest income increased by $215,000 to $599,000 for the three months
ended June 30, 1996, compared to $384,000 for the same period of 1995, due to an
increase in credit card servicing revenue and increased service charges due to
deposit growth.

Total non-interest expense increased by $1,032,000 to $3,609,000 for the second
quarter of 1996, compared to $2,577,000 for the same period of 1995.  The
opening and staffing of new branches  subsequent to the second quarter of 1995,
including  Los Lunas  in August, the Journal Center branch and operations center
in September, and the Santa Fe Downtown branch in December and the beginning of
the leasing division in January 1996, accounted for a substantial portion of the
increases in salaries and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment which
totaled $587,000.  Data processing expense increased by approximately $280,000
mainly as a result of costs related to the conversion of the company's banking
and credit card processing software packages.  Credit card interchange expense
is related to credit card servicing revenue and increased as a result of the
company issuing its own credit cards.

CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996

Net income for the Company for the six months ended June 30, 1996, was $780,000,
a decrease of $406,000 or 34.23% from $1,186,000 for the same period of 1995 The
Company's return on average assets was 0.58% for the first six months compared
to 1.13% for the same period of 1995.  The most significant items contributing
to this decrease were a $634,000 provision for loan losses for the first six
months of 1996 and an increase of $1,885,000 in non-interest expenses.

The provision for loan losses increased by $425,000 from the same period of 1995
as a result of net charge-offs of $264,000 for the first six months of 1996
compared to $76,000 for the same period of 1995 and as a result of approximately
$38,228,000 in loan growth in the first six months of 1996.

Net interest income before provision for loan losses increased $721,000 to
$6,992,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1996, from $6,271,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 1995, due to increased loan volume.  The Company's net
interest margin decreased to 6.42% at June 30, 1996, from 6.92% at June 30,
1995.  This decrease was due to increased interest expense due to higher deposit
rates and growth in the volume of interest bearing deposits.

Total non-interest income increased by $382,000 to $1,136,000 for the six months
ended June 30, 1996, compared to $754,000 for the same period of 1995, due to an
increase in credit card servicing revenue and increased service charges due to
deposit growth.

Total non-interest expense increased by $1,885,000 to $6,945,000 for the first
six months of 1996, compared to $5,060,000 for the same period of 1995.  The
opening and staffing of new branches subsequent to the first quarter of 1995,
including Los Lunas in August, the Journal Center branch and operations center
in September, and the Santa Fe Downtown branch in December and the beginning of
the leasing division in January 1996, accounted for a substantial protion of the
increase in salaries and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment which
totaled $1,095,000.  Data processing expense increased by approximately $408,000
mainly as a result of costs related to the conversion of the company's banking
and credit card processing software packages. Credit card interchange expense is
related to credit card servicing revenue and increased as a result of the
company issuing its own credit cards.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL EXPENDITURES

The Company's primary sources of funds are customer deposits, loan repayments,
loan sales and sales and maturities of investment securities.  The Company has
additional sources of liquidity in the form of borrowings. Borrowings include
federal funds purchased, securities sold under repurchase agreements, and
borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank.

                                       2
<PAGE>
 
During the second quarter of 1996 the company used  additional sources of
liquidity in the form of Federal Home Loan Bank advances of $8,000,000 and
federal funds purchased of $3,900,000 to fund loan growth during the second
Quarter of 1996.  Management intends to reduce these short term borrowings
through increased customer deposits over the last six months of 1996.

1.    CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements are unaudited and
include the accounts of First State Bancorporation (the "Company") and its
subsidiary, First State Bank of Taos (100% owned).

All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Information contained in the consolidated condensed financial statements and
notes thereto of the Company should be read in conjunction with the Company's
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1995.

The consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information
and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB.  Accordingly, they do not include all
of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all
adjustments (consisting only of normally recurring accruals) considered
necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  Operating results for the
three and six month period ended June 30, 1996, are not necessarily indicative
of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 1996.

Net income per common share and common equivalent share are computed by dividing
net income applicable to common stock by the total of the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding and any additional dilutive effect of stock
options and warrants outstanding during the respective periods.  The dilutive
effect of stock options and warrants is computed using the average market price
of the Company's common stock for the period.

Net income per common share, assuming full dilution, is computed based on the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, and any
additional dilutive effect of stock options and warrants during the period.  The
dilutive effect of outstanding stock options and warrants is computed using the
greater of the closing price or the average market price of the Company's common
stock for the period.  Net income per common share, assuming full dilution, also
includes the dilution which would result if the convertible debentures
outstanding during the period had been converted at the beginning of the period.

The number of shares used in the net income per share calculations at June 30,
1996, and 1995, are as follows:

                          FIRST STATE BANCORPORATION


     Pursuant to the provisions of Section 53-13-4 of the New Mexico Business
Corporation Act (Chapter 53, Articles 11 through 18 NMSA 1978), FIRST STATE
BANCORPORATION hereby adopts the following Articles of Amendment to its Articles
of Incorporation:

                                  ARTICLE I.

     The name of the corporation is FIRST STATE BANCORPORATION (the "Company").
     
                                  ARTICLE II.

     The following amendment to the Company's articles of incorporation was
adopted by the shareholders of the Company on June 7, 1996, in the manner
prescribed by the New Mexico Business Corporation Act:

                                   ARTICLE 6

          Section 6.1.  The number of directors shall be fixed as provided in 
     the Bylaws of the Corporation (the "Bylaws"), but in no case shall the
     number of directors elected by the holders of the Common Stock be less than
     nine, or greater than fifteen. The Board of Directors shall be divided into
     three classes, designated "Class I," "Class II," and "Class III." The
     number of directors in each class elected by the holders of the Common
     Stock, shall be as nearly equal as possible. The term of directors in Class
     I shall be initially one year and thereafter three years. The term of
     directors in Class II shall be initially two years and thereafter three
     years. The term of directors in Class III shall be three years. The initial
     term for each of the foregoing classes shall commence on the election of
     directors

<PAGE>
 


     at the annual meeting of shareholders in 1996.  At each annual meeting of
     shareholders commencing with the annual meeting in 1997, a number of
     directors equal to the number of the class whose term expires at the
     meeting shall be elected (unless the number of directors in such class has
     been increased or decreased, in which case the larger or smaller number
     shall be elected) by the affirmative vote of the holders of the majority of
     the shares represented at the meeting either in person or by proxy and
     entitled to vote on the election of directors. Notwithstanding the
     foregoing, each director shall hold office until his or her successor is
     chosen and qualified in his or her stead.

          Newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the number
     of directors or any vacancies in the Board of Directors resulting from
     death, resignation, retirement, disqualification, removal from office, or
     other cause may be filled by a majority vote of the directors then in
     office (even though the number of directors then in office may constitute
     less than a quorum).  A director elected to fill a vacancy shall be elected
     for the unexpired term of his or her predecessor in office.  A director
     elected to fill an increase in the number of directors may be elected by
     the Board of Directors for a term of office continuing only until the next
     election of directors by the shareholders.

          Any repeal or modification of this Section 6.1 by the shareholders of
     the corporation shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a
     director of the Corporation in respect of any act or omission before the
     repeal or modification.

     persons who are nominated in accordance with the procedures in this Article

     shareholders of the Corporation.  At any meeting of the shareholders of the
     Corporation, nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors
     may be made (1) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or (2) by

expenses he may incur in litigation against Corporation, any shareholder of
Corporation, or any other person, to enforce or defend his rights under this
Plan; further, Corporation shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each

<PAGE>
 
settlement shall require the prior written consent of Corporation, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld) of or in connection with any claim, action,
suit, proceeding or investigation which arises out of such person serving in his
capacity as an Employee of Corporation and pertaining to any matter or fact
arising, existing or occurring before the Control Change (including, without
limitation, the events giving rise to the Control Change) to the full extent
permitted under applicable New Mexico or federal law (including, but not limited
to, Title XII of the United States Code) and the articles of incorporation and
bylaws of Corporation as in effect at the time of the Control Change.
Corporation will advance expenses incurred by such persons in connection with
such claims to the full extent permitted by such laws, articles of incorporation
and bylaws.

     These indemnification obligations of Corporation will continue in force for
a period of five (5) years after the date on which the Control Change is
effective, and will apply to any claims asserted or made within such period.
Such indemnification shall not be due if an arbitrator and/or court of law, as
appropriate under Section 13, determines that the Eligible Employee's position
in the litigation was not reasonable and/or that the Eligible Employee did not
pursue such litigation in good faith.  Such arbitrator or court of law shall
presume that the Eligible Employee's position in the litigation was reasonable
and pursued in good faith, without regard to whether the litigation was resolved
in the Eligible Employee's favor.

     Corporation shall use its best efforts to maintain in effect for three (3)
years after a Control Change officers and directors liability insurance with
respect to claims arising from facts or events which occurred before the Control

conditions no less advantageous, as the coverage provided by Corporation prior
to the Control Change.

         d.  In the event that the Eligible Employee is not fully vested under
the terms of Corporation's qualified retirement plan(s), Corporation shall pay
the Eligible Employee an amount equal to the Employee's non-vested accrued
benefit in such plan(s), determined as of the last valuation date under such
plan(s).

         e.  Corporation will pay for out-placement services for the Eligible
Employee, up to maximum of thirty percent (30%) of Compensation.

                                       5
<PAGE>
 
         f.  In the event that Corporation has purchased a split dollar life
insurance policy on the life of an Eligible Employee, Corporation shall make a
lump sum payment at the same time as the payment in (a) above.  Corporation
shall remit to the insurance company issuing any such policy the lesser of (i)
the remaining premiums payable by Corporation on the same basis as prior to the
Control Change as are required to put the policy on a "paid up" basis for the
ten year period beginning on the date the policy was issued; or (ii) the maximum
premium that can be prepaid without converting such policy to a modified
endowment policy, in the written opinion of Corporation's tax counsel.   In the
event that the insurance company issuing such policy will not accept a single
sum payment of the amount of Corporation's remaining premiums for the balance of
the ten year period, Corporation shall pay such amount into an escrow account in
the name of the Eligible Employee, and the escrow account shall pay such
premiums as they become due.  Such payment shall equal the discounted present
value (using the applicable federal rate for obligations) of the portion of
premiums that Corporation had paid prior to the Control Change.  Any amounts
remaining in the escrow account when all Corporation premiums have been fully
paid shall be remitted to Corporation.

         g.  In the event that the present value of the lump sum severance 
payments and other payments and benefits to be paid under this Section 2 either
alone or together with other payments which the Eligible Employee has the right
to receive from Corporation, would constitute a "parachute payment" (as defined
in Internal Revenue Code Section 280G), Corporation shall pay the Eligible
Employee an amount equal to all excise taxes payable by the Eligible Employee
under Internal Revenue Code Section 4999.

     3.  Claim for Benefits.  Within two (2) weeks after the Eligible Employee's
         ------------------                                                     
resignation, discharge or Reduction in Position following a Control Change, the
Eligible Employee shall present a written claim for benefits under the Plan,
specifically referring to the Plan, to the Plan Administrator. The Plan
Administrator shall notify the President of Corporation, who will deliver
written notice within two (2) weeks to the Plan Administrator if Corporation
intends to assert that the discharge or resignation or Reduction in Position was
caused by Misconduct or Total Disability. The Plan Administrator shall deliver
written notice to the Eligible Employee of such dispute, and the dispute shall
be resolved pursuant to the arbitration procedure

                                       6
<PAGE>
 
or litigation, as appropriate under Section 13.  All such notices shall be
effected by delivery in person, or by sending the notice by certified mail,
return receipt requested, to Corporation at 111 Lomas Boulevard NE, Albuquerque,
New Mexico 87102, or to the Eligible Employee at his last address on
Corporation's records.

     4.  Payment of Income Protection Benefits.  Corporation shall pay each
         -------------------------------------
Eligible Employee who is entitled to benefits under Subsection 2(a) in a single
sum in cash, not later than the first day of the second month following the
Eligible Employee's discharge, resignation or Reduction in Position unless
Corporation has notified the Eligible Employee that there is a dispute as
provided in Section 3 above. If any Eligible Employee dies while any amounts are
still payable to him hereunder, all such amounts, unless otherwise provided
herein, shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this Plan to the Eligible
Employee's estate.

     5.  Limitation on Payment.  No payment shall be made under this Plan to the
         ---------------------                                                  
extent such payment violates the laws of the State of New Mexico or the United
States.

     6.  No Assignment.  The right of any Eligible Employee or any other person
         -------------                                                         
to the payment of compensation or other benefits under this Plan shall not be
assigned, alienated, transferred, pledged, hypothecated or encumbered except by
will or by the laws of descent and distribution.

     7.  Incompetence.  If the Plan Administrator finds that any person to whom
         ------------                                                          
any payment is payable under this Plan is unable to care for his affairs because
of illness or accident, or is a minor, any payment due (unless a prior claim
therefor shall have been made by a duly appointed guardian, committee or other
legal representative) may be paid to the person's spouse, child, parent, brother
or sister, or to any person deemed by the Plan Administrator to have incurred
expense for such person otherwise entitled to payment, in such manner and
proportions as the Plan Administrator may determine.  Any such payment shall be

             first strike.

         b.  The arbitrator designated and acting under this Plan shall 
determine the controversy in accordance with the laws of the State of New Mexico
and applicable federal law as applied to the facts as he finds them.

days after the hearing by the arbitrator, unless otherwise agreed to in writing
by all parties, and such decision shall be in writing and in duplicate, one
counterpart to be delivered to each party.

         d.  The parties desire that, in the event the Eligible Employee

Corporation, its successors and assigns and each Eligible Employee and his
heirs, executors, administrators and legal representatives.

one or more one year terms.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the duly authorized officers of Corporation have executed
