1.   CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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

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, 1996.

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 nine month periods ended Septemeber 30, 1997, are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31,
1997.

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 September
30, 1997, and 1996, are as follows:

2.   ACCOUNTING STANDARD ISSUED NOT YET IMPLEMENTED
 
EARNINGS PER SHARE

In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, Earnings Per Share,
which supersedes Accounting Practice Bulletin No. 15, Earnings Per Share.  SFAS
No. 128, which specifies the computation, presentation, and disclosures
requirements for earnings per share (EPS), was issued to simplify the
computation of EPS. It replaces the presentation of primary EPS with a
presentation of basic EPS and fully diluted EPS with diluted EPS.  Basic EPS,
unlike primary EPS, excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income
available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares
outstanding for the period.  Diluted EPS reflects the potential 

                                       4
<PAGE>
 
dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock
were exercised or converted into common stock. Diluted EPS is computed similarly
to fully diluted EPS under APB 15. SFAS No. 128 is effective for financial
statements for both interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 1997.
The impact of SFAS No. 128 is not expected to be material in relation to the
consolidated financial statements.

REPORTING COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

In June, 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income.
SFAS No. 130 requires disclosure in the financial statements of comprehensive
income that encompasses earnings and those items currently required to be
reported directly in the equity section of the balance sheet, such as unrealized
gains and losses on available-for-sale securities. SFAS No.130 is effective for
the Company's financial statements beginning in 1998.  Earlier application is
permitted.

SEGMENTS

In June, 1997, the FSAB issued SFAS No. 131, Disclosure About Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information.  SFAS No. 131 requires disclosures about
segments of an enterprise and related information about the different types of
business activities in which an enterprise engages and the different economic
environments in which it operates.  SFAS No.131 is effective for the Company's
financial statements beginning in 1998.

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

CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED BALANCE SHEETS

The Company's total assets increased by $58.6 million from $325.0 million as of
December 31, 1996, to $383.6 million as of September 30, 1997, due to internal
growth.  For the first nine months of 1997, loans and leases increased by $35.0
million from $250.9 million to $285.9 million while investment securities
increased by $6.4 million from $40.6 million to $47.0 million.  For the first
nine months of 1997, other assets increased $2.7 million  from $20.2 million  to
$22.9 million.

The increase in loans and leases is due largely to the Company's efforts to
increase its market share and increased economic activity and demand for loans
and leases in the Company's market areas.  Total commercial loans increased by
approximately $8.1 million, real estate loans increased by approximately $13.3
million and leases increased by approximately $10.6 million.

Investment securities increased by $6.4 million as a result of an increase in
deposits and proceeds from the 7.5% convertible subordinated debenture offering
in the second quarter of 1997.

Deposits, which are the Company's main source of funds for loans, investments,
and federal funds sold, increased by $49.7 million from $277.4 million as of
December 31, 1996, to $327.1 million as of September 30, 1997.  Non-interest-
bearing deposits increased by $13.8 million and interest-bearing deposits
increased by $35.9 million.  For the first nine months of 1997, other
liabilities increased by $3.2 million due to the issuance of $13.8 million in
7.5% convertible subordinated debentures offset by the conversion into common
stock of $3.8 million in 7% convertible subordinated debentures, the repayment
of $5.0 million in Fedearl Home Loan Bank advances and a $1.8 million decrease
in securities sold under repurchase agreements  and a $1.5 million decrease in
federal funds purchased.

CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997

Net income for the Company for the three months ended September 30, 1997, was
$866,000, an increase of $249,000 or 40% from $617,000 for the same period of
1996.  The Company's annualized return on average assets was 0.93%  for the
third quarter of 1997, compared to 0.83% for the same period of 1996.

The provision for loan and lease losses increased by $165,000 from $262,500 for
the three months ended September 30, 1996, to $427,500 for the three months
ended September 30, 1997.  This increase is due to loan and lease growth and an
increase in non-performing assets.

                                       5
<PAGE>
 
Net interest income before provision for loan and lease losses increased $1.0
million to $5.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 1997, from $4.1
million for the three months ended September 30, 1996, primarily due to
increased loan, lease, and investment security volume.  The Company's net
interest margin decreased to 6.13% for the period ended September 30, 1997, from
6.17% for the period ended September 30, 1996.

Total non-interest income increased by $400,000 to $1.2 million for the three
months ended September 30, 1997, compared to $0.8 million for the same period of
1996, primarily due to an increase in credit card discount  income of $93,000,
an increase in income from operating leases of $146,000 and increased service
charge income of $76,000.

Total non-interest expense increased by $900,000 to $4.6 million for the third
quarter of 1997, compared to $3.7 million for the same period of 1996. The
increase was the result of increased staffing, pay raises and related benefits
$285,000, leased equipment depreciation $102,000, data processing $111,000, and
marketing $100,000.  These increases are primarily related to asset and deposit
growth.  The increased marketing expense results from advertising campaigns to
target customers of a  recently acquired institution.

CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997

Net income for the Company for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, was
$2.3 million, an increase of $900,000 or 64% from $1.4 million for the same
period of 1996.  The Company's annualized return on average assets was 0.89% for
the nine months period of 1997, compared to 0.67% for the same period of 1996.

The provision for loan and lease losses increased by $203,000 from $897,000 for
the nine months ended September 30, 1996, to $1.1 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 1997. This increase is due to loan and lease growth and an
increase in non-performing assets.

Net interest income before provision for loan and lease losses increased $2.6
million to $14.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, from
$11.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1996, primarily due to
increased loan, lease, and  investment securities volume.  The Company's net
interest margin decreased to 6.02% for the period ended September 30, 1997, from
6.33% for the period ended September 30, 1996. This decrease was the result of
lower yields on loans and leases due to increased competition.

Total non-interest income increased by $1.2 to $3.2 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 1997, compared to $2.0 million for the same period of 1996,
primarily due to an increase in credit card discount  income of $330,000, an
increase in income from operating leases of $639,000, and increased service
charge income of $201,000.

Total non-interest expense increased by $2.3 million to $12.9 million for the
first nine months of 1997, compared to $10.6 million for the same period of
1996.  The increase was the result of increased staffing, pay raises and related
benefits $812,000, leased equipment depreciation $424,000, credit card
interchange $112,000, other real estate owned $143,000, occupancy $292,000, and
marketing $182,000.  These increases are related primarily to asset and deposit
growth.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL EXPENDITURES

The Company's primary sources of funds are customer deposits, loan repayments,
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.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

Statements which are forward looking are not historical facts, and involve risks
and uncertainties that could cause the Company's results to differ materially
from those in any forward looking statements. These risks include the possible
loss of key personnel, need for additional capital should the Company experience
faster than anticipated growth, changes in local economic conditions, interest
rate risk, factors which could affect the Company's ability to compete in its
trade areas, changes in regulation and governmental policies, and the risks
described in the Company's Securities and Exchange Commission filings.
