                   FIRST STATE BANCORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY
              Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements
                                  (Unaudited)
                                        
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, 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 six month periods ended June 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 June 30,
1997, and 1996, are as follows:

2.   CONVERTIBLE SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES

On April 30, 1997, the Company called for redemption its 7% Convertible
Subordinated Debentures due November 3, 2003, with a balance of $3,439,000 at
March 31, 1997. Prior to the redemption date, $3,424,000 principal amount of the
debentures were converted into the Company's common stock at a conversion rate
of $10.50 per share or 326,058 shares.  The remaining $15,000 were redeemed at
101% of the original principal balance plus accrued interest.

                                       4
<PAGE>
 
On May 2, 1997, the Company completed an offering for $13,800,000 of 7.5%
Convertible Subordinated Debentures due 2017. The debentures pay interest semi-
annually on April 30 and October 30 until maturity, are convertible into the
Company's common stock at $16.75 per share, are callable at the Company's option
if the price of its common stock equals or exceeds 140% of the exercise price
for at least 30 consecutive trading days without any premium or at a redemption
premium as defined in the Prospectus dated April 28, 1997, beginning May 1,
2001.  During the second quarter of 1997, the company made a capital
contribution of $4.0 million to First State Bank of Taos.  As a result of this
contribution, First State Bank of Taos has sufficient capital to be considered
well-capitalized.  Management intends to use the remaining proceeds of these
debentures to provide capital to First State Bank of Taos, if necessary, for
general corporate purposes and for possible future acquisitions.


3.   ACCOUNTING STANDARD ISSUED NOT YET IMPLEMENTED

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 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.

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 $41.9 million from $325.0 million as of
December 31, 1996, to $366.9 million as of June 30, 1997, due to internal
growth.  For the first six months of 1997, net loans increased by $22.9 million
from $248.4 million to $271.3 million while investment securities increased by
$9.6 million from $40.6 million to $50.2 million.  For the first six months of
1997, other assets increased $2.5 million  from $20.2 million  to $22.7 million.

The increase in loans is due largely to the Company's efforts to increase its
market share and increased economic activity and demand for loans in the
Company's market area.  Total commercial loans increased by approximately $5.6
million, real estate loans increased by approximately $10.1 million and leases
increased by approximately $5.4 million.

Investment securities increased by $9.6 million as a result of an increase in
deposits.

Deposits, which are the Company's main source of funds for loans, investments
and federal funds sold, increased by $34.8 million from $277.4 million as of
December 31, 1996, to $312.2 million as of June 30, 1997.  Non interest-bearing
deposits increased by $12.3 million and interest-bearing deposits increased by
$22.5 million.  For the first six months of 1997, other liabilities increased by
$2.2 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 $2.6 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 JUNE 30, 1997.

Net income for the Company for the three months ended June 30, 1997, was
$771,000, an increase of $496,000 or 180% from $275,000 for the same period of
1996.  The Company's annualized return on average assets was 0.87% for the
second quarter of 1997, compared to 0.40% for the same period of 1996.

                                       5

The provision for loan losses decreased by $118,000 from $516,000 for the three
months ended June 30, 1996, to $398,000 for the three months ended June 30,
1997. The June 30, 1996 provision was significantly increased from previous
quarters due to $20.0 million in loan growth in the second quarter of 1996.

Net interest income before provision for loan losses increased $800,000 to $4.8
million for the three months ended June 30, 1997, from $4.0 million for the
three months ended June 30, 1996, primarily due to increased loan and investment
security volume.  The Company's net interest margin decreased to 6.00% at June
30, 1997, from 6.45% at June 30, 1996.  This decrease is due primarily to
increased competition resulting in lower yields on real estate loans.

Total non-interest income increased by $400,000 to $1.0 million for the three
months ended June 30, 1997, compared to $0.6 million for the same period of
1996, primarily due to an increase in credit card discount  income of $95,000,
an increase in income from operating leases of $255,000 and increased service
charge income of $67.000.

Total non-interest expense increased by $600,000 to $4.2 million for the second
quarter of 1997, compared to $3.6 million for the same period of 1996.  The
opening and staffing of the Bernalillo branch in August 1996, additions to
personnel to service loan and deposit growth, increased credit card interchange
expense and lease equipment depreciation accounted for a substantial portion of
the increase in non-interest expense.

CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997.

Net income for the Company for the six months ended June 30, 1997, was
$1,480,000, an increase of $700,000 or 90% from $780,000 for the same period of
1996.  The Company's annualized return on average assets was 0.86% for the
second quarter of 1997, compared to 0.56% for the same period of 1996.

The provision for loan losses increased by $26,000 from $634,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 1996, to $660,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1997.

Net interest income before provision for loan losses increased $1.6 million to
$9.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997, from $7.6 million for the
three months ended June 30, 1996, primarily due to increased loan and investment
securities volume.  The Company's net interest margin decreased to 5.96% at June
30, 1997, from 6.42% at June 30, 1996.  This decrease is due primarily to
increased competition resulting in lower yields on real estate loans.

Total non-interest income increased by $900,000 to $2.0 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1997, compared to $1.1 million for the same period of
1996, primarily due to an increase in credit card discount  income of $214,000,
an increase in income from operating leases of $493,000 and increased service
charge income of $125,000.

Total non-interest expense increased by $1.4 million to $8.3 million for the
first six months of 1997, compared to $6.9 million for the same period of 1996.
The opening and staffing of the Bernalillo branch in August 1996, additions to
personnel to service loan and deposit growth, increased credit card interchange
expense and lease equipment depreciation accounted for a substantial portion of
the increase in non-interest expense.

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.

On April 30, 1997, the Company called for redemption its 7% Convertible
Subordinated Debentures due November 3, 2003, with a balance of $3,439,000 at
March 31, 1997. Prior to the redemption date, $3,424,000 principal amount of the
debentures were converted into the Company's common stock at a conversion rate
of $10.50 per share or 326,058 shares.  The remaining $15,000 were redeemed at
101% of the original principal balance plus accrued interest.
