NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

March 31, 2007

1.    BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Zions Bancorporation (“the Parent”) and its majority-owned subsidiaries (collectively “the Company,” “we,” “our,” “us”) have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. 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 of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

Operating results for the three-months ended March 31, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected in future periods. The balance sheet at December 31, 2006 is from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in Zions Bancorporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.

The Company provides a full range of banking and related services through banking subsidiaries in ten Western and Southwestern states as follows: Zions First National Bank (“Zions Bank”), in Utah and Idaho; California Bank & Trust (“CB&T”); Amegy Corporation (“Amegy”) and its subsidiary, Amegy Bank, in Texas; National Bank of Arizona (“NBA”), in Arizona and California; Nevada State Bank (“NSB”); Vectra Bank Colorado (“Vectra”), in Colorado and New Mexico; The Commerce Bank of Washington (“TCBW”); and The Commerce Bank of Oregon (“TCBO”).

2.    CERTAIN RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 159,The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115. SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value at specified election dates. The fair value option may be applied instrument by instrument with certain exceptions and is applied generally on an irrevocable basis to the particular instrument. SFAS 159 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company will adopt SFAS 159 effective January 1, 2008. Management is evaluating the impact this Statement may have on the Company’s financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157,Fair Value Measurements. SFAS 157 provides enhanced guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The Statement impacts other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements; however, it does not expand the use of fair value measurements in any new circumstances. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company will adopt SFAS 157 effective January 1, 2008. Management is evaluating the impact this Statement may have on the Company’s financial statements.

Additional accounting pronouncements recently adopted are discussed where applicable in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

3.    MERGER AND ACQUISITION ACTIVITY

On January 17, 2007, we completed the acquisition of The Stockmen’s Bancorp, Inc. (“Stockmen’s”), headquartered in Kingman, Arizona. As of the date of acquisition, Stockmen’s had approximately $1.2 billion of total assets, $1.1 billion of total deposits, and a total of 43 branches – 32 in Arizona and 11 in central California. Consideration of approximately $206.1 million consisted of 2.6 million shares of the Company’s common stock plus a small amount of cash paid for fractional shares. Stockmen’s parent company merged into the Parent and Stockmen’s banking subsidiary merged into NBA. The acquisition resulted in approximately $113.9 million of goodwill and $42.8 million of core deposit and other intangibles; however, these amounts are subject to adjustment as the purchase price allocation is finalized during the year following the acquisition.

4.    INCOME TAXES

Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”),Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN 48 prescribes a more-likely-than-not threshold for the financial statement recognition of uncertain tax positions.

We have a liability for unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain tax positions primarily for various state tax contingencies in several jurisdictions. As a result of adopting FIN 48, we reduced this liability by approximately $10.4 million at January 1, 2007 and recognized a cumulative effect adjustment as an increase to retained earnings. Our total gross unrecognized tax benefits subsequent to this adjustment were approximately $46.3 million at January 1, 2007. Of this amount, approximately $25.9 million (net of the federal benefit on state issues) relates to unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate. Gross unrecognized tax benefits that may decrease during the 12 months subsequent to January 1, 2007 could range up to approximately $22.6 million as a result of the resolution of various state tax positions.

As of March 31, 2007, the Parent has guaranteed approximately $326.4 million of debt issued by affiliated trusts issuing trust preferred securities.

Zions Bank provides a liquidity facility (“Liquidity Facility”) for a fee to Lockhart Funding, LLC (“Lockhart”), a qualifying special-purpose entity (“QSPE”) securities conduit. Lockhart purchases floating rate U.S. Government and AAA-rated securities with funds from the issuance of commercial paper. Zions Bank also provides interest rate hedging support and administrative and investment advisory services for a fee. Pursuant to the Liquidity Facility contract, Zions Bank is required to purchase securities from Lockhart to provide funds for Lockhart to repay maturing commercial paper upon Lockhart’s inability to access the commercial paper market, or upon a commercial paper market disruption as specified in governing documents for Lockhart. Pursuant to the governing documents, including the liquidity agreement, if any security in Lockhart is downgraded below AA-, Zions Bank must either 1) place its letter of credit on the security, 2) obtain credit enhancement from a third party, or 3) purchase the security from Lockhart at book value. At any given time, the maximum commitment of Zions Bank is the book value of Lockhart’s securities portfolio, which is not allowed to exceed the size of the Liquidity Facility commitment. At March 31, 2007, the book value of Lockhart’s securities portfolio was $4.0 billion, which approximated market value, and the size of the Liquidity Facility commitment was $6.12 billion. No amounts were outstanding under the Liquidity Facility at March 31, 2007.

The FASB continues to deliberate proposals to amend SFAS No. 140,Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, in addition to other amendments to SFAS 140 issued by the FASB and adopted by the Company. These include criteria for legal isolation of transferred assets and restrictions on permitted activities of QSPEs. The proposed amendments, among other things, may require changes to the operating activities of QSPEs and other aspects relating to the transfer of financial assets. Subject to the requirements of any final standards when they are issued, Lockhart’s operations may need to be modified to preserve its off-balance sheet status.

8.    OPERATING SEGMENT INFORMATION

We manage our operations and prepare management reports and other information with a primary focus on geographical area. As of March 31, 2007, we operate eight community/regional banks in distinct geographical areas. Performance assessment and resource allocation are based upon this geographical structure. Zions Bank operates 113 branches in Utah and 24 in Idaho. CB&T operates 91 branches in California. Amegy operates 79 branches in Texas. NBA operates 77 branches in Arizona and 11 in California. NSB operates 72 branches in Nevada. Vectra operates 39 branches in Colorado and one branch in New Mexico. TCBW operates one branch in the state of Washington. TCBO operates one branch in Oregon. The operating segment identified as “Other” includes the Parent, certain nonbank financial service and financial technology subsidiaries, other smaller nonbank operating units, TCBO, and eliminations of transactions between segments.

The accounting policies of the individual operating segments are the same as those of the Company. Transactions between operating segments are primarily conducted at fair value, resulting in profits that are eliminated for reporting consolidated results of operations. Operating segments pay for centrally provided services based upon estimated or actual usage of those services.

ZIONS BANCORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

The Company specifically disclaims any obligation to update any factors or to publicly announce the result of revisions to any of the forward-looking statements included herein to reflect future events or developments.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND SIGNIFICANT ESTIMATES

The Company has made no significant changes in its critical accounting policies and significant estimates from those disclosed in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, except for changes in certain valuation assumptions for retained beneficial interests.

Securitization Transactions

During the first quarter of 2007, the Company updated certain valuation assumptions for retained beneficial interests under the rules contained in Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 99-20,Recognition of Interest Income and Impairment on Purchased and Retained Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets, (“EITF 99-20”). These rules require the Company to periodically update its assumptions used to compute estimated cash flows for its retained beneficial interests and compare the net present value of these cash flows to the carrying value. The Company complies with EITF 99-20 by evaluating and updating its default assumption as compared to the historical credit losses and the credit loss expectation of the portfolio and its prepayment speed assumption as compared to the historical prepayment speeds and prepayment rate expectation.

The Company’s has eight small business securitizations and the retained beneficial interest for four of the securitizations required impairment charges at March 31, 2007 following the application of EITF 99-20. As a result, the Company recorded an impairment loss on the retained beneficial interests of $4.2 million before income taxes resulting in a $2.6 million reduction of net income or $(0.02) per diluted share for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The primary factor that influenced the impairment of the retained beneficial interests was higher prepayment speeds than previously estimated.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Zions Bancorporation (“the Parent”) and subsidiaries (collectively “Zions,” “the Company,” “we,” “our”) reported net earnings applicable to common shareholders of $149.7 million or $1.36 per diluted share for the first quarter of 2007 compared with $137.6 million or $1.28 per diluted share for the first quarter of 2006. The annualized return on average assets was 1.31% in both the first quarters of 2007 and 2006. For the same comparative periods, the annualized return on average common equity was 12.25% compared to 12.92%. The efficiency ratio for the first quarter of 2007 was 57.8% compared to 58.2% for the first quarter of 2006.

The Company completed its acquisition of The Stockmen’s Bancorp, Inc. effective January 17, 2007. Certain comparisons to 2006 reflect the impact of this acquisition.

Net Interest Income, Margin and Interest Rate Spreads

Taxable-equivalent net interest income for the first quarter of 2007 increased 8.1% to $463.7 million compared with $428.8 million for the comparable period of 2006. The increase reflects the significant increase in earning assets driven by strong loan growth over much of the last year. The incremental tax rate used for calculating all taxable-equivalent adjustments is 35% for all periods presented.

17

ZIONS BANCORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

The Company’s net interest margin was 4.51% for the first quarter of 2007 compared to 4.60% for the fourth quarter of 2006 and 4.69% for the first quarter of 2006. The margin compression for the first quarter of 2007 resulted from competitive pricing pressures, a continued shift in the interest-bearing deposit mix to more expensive products, and a decline in noninterest-bearing demand deposits, which necessitated funding virtually the entire growth in earning assets with higher cost interest-bearing liabilities.

We have experienced fairly steady pricing pressure on deposits over the past several quarters due to a variety of factors, including perceived returns on alternative investment and savings opportunities and generally strong competition. Reflecting this pricing pressure and the change in our funding mix toward higher rate deposits and other funding sources, the average rate paid this quarter on interest-bearing funds increased 84 basis points from the first quarter of 2006. The yield on average earning assets increased 51 basis points for the first quarter of 2007 compared to the same period in 2006. However, the Company continues to experience strong competition in loan pricing. As a result of these funding and loan pricing pressures, the spread on average interest-bearing funds for the first quarter of 2007 was 3.62%, down from 3.68% for the fourth quarter of 2006 and 3.95% for the first quarter of 2006. We expect that the net interest spread may continue to be under pressure in the next few quarters due to the persistence of these factors.

The Company expects to continue its efforts to maintain a slightly “asset-sensitive” position with regard to interest rate risk. However, our estimates of the Company’s actual position are highly dependent upon changes in both short-term and long-term interest rates, modeling assumptions, and the actions of competitors and customers in response to those changes. In addition, we believe that the importance of the factors discussed in the preceding paragraph has tended to outweigh the effect of our interest rate risk positioning in recent quarters.

Provisions for Credit Losses

The provision for loan losses is the amount of expense that, based on our judgment, is required to maintain the allowance for loan losses at an adequate level based upon the inherent risks in the portfolio. The provision for unfunded lending commitments is used to maintain the allowance for unfunded lending commitments at an adequate level. See “Credit Risk Management” for more information on how we determine the appropriate level for the allowances for loan and lease losses and unfunded lending commitments.

The provision for loan losses for the first quarter of 2007 was $9.1 million compared to $14.5 million for the same period in 2006. On an annualized basis, the provision was 0.10% of average loans for the first quarter of 2007 and 0.19% for the first quarter of 2006. The provision for unfunded lending commitments was $0.3 million for the first quarter of 2007 compared to $(0.3) million for the first quarter of 2006. From period to period, the amounts of unfunded lending commitments may be subject to sizeable fluctuation due to changes in the timing and volume of loan originations and fundings. The related provision will generally reflect these fluctuations. When combined, the provisions for credit losses for the first quarter of 2007 were $9.4 million compared to $14.2 million for the first quarter of 2006. The amount of the provision reflects continued strong credit quality and significantly slower loan growth during the first quarter of 2007, excluding Stockmen’s loans acquired during the first quarter of 2007.

Noninterest Income

For the first quarter of 2007, noninterest income increased 13.2% to $145.4 million compared to $128.5 million for the first quarter of 2006.

Service charges and fees on deposit accounts increased $4.8 million or 12.4% for the first quarter of 2007 compared to the first quarter of 2006. The increase was due to the impact of the acquisition of Stockmen’s which increased fees $1 million and to higher treasury management income.

Loan sales and servicing income decreased $6.2 million for the first quarter of 2007 compared to the first quarter of 2006. The decline primarily results from a pretax impairment charge of $4.2 million on retained interests from certain previous small business loan securitizations due to accelerated prepayment speeds and lower servicing fees from lower serviced loan balances. It is possible that additional impairment charges may be incurred if actual prepayment speeds exceed current estimates. Factors influencing the prepayment speed include the prepayment penalties, which decrease over time, and the shape of the yield curve at the time the prepayment penalties are eliminated.

Other service charges, commissions and fees for the first quarter increased $5.5 million or 13.8% compared to the first quarter of 2006. The increase was primarily driven by higher debit card fees of $3.0 million and exchange and other fees of $3.4 million offset by decreased insurance income of $1.6 million resulting from the previously announced sale of the Company’s Grant Hatch insurance agency and certain other insurance assets.

Income from securities conduit decreased $1.9 million or 22.5% for the first quarter of 2007 compared to the first quarter of 2006. This servicing income represents fees we receive from Lockhart Funding, LLC (“Lockhart”), a “qualifying special-purpose entity” securities conduit, in return for liquidity management, an interest rate agreement and administrative services that Zions Bank provides to Lockhart in accordance with a servicing agreement. The decrease resulted from the compression of spreads between Lockhart’s assets and liabilities. Additionally, the book value of the Lockhart’s securities portfolio declined to $4.0 billion at March 31, 2007 from $5.2 billion at March 31, 2006. We expect that both the servicing income and the book value of the Lockhart portfolio may continue to decrease over time unless the Company executes additional loan securitizations.

Net equity securities gains were $5.2 million for the first quarter of 2007 compared with net gains of $0.6 million for the same period in 2006 and included net gains on venture capital equity investments of $2.7 million in 2007 compared to net losses of $0.2 million in 2006 and a $2.5 million gain on the sale of an investment in a community bank. Net of related minority interest of $0.8 million, income taxes and other expenses, venture capital investments increased net income by $1.5 million for the first quarter of 2007 and decreased net income by $0.4 million for the first quarter of 2006.

20

ZIONS BANCORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Other noninterest income increased $2.5 million compared to the first quarter of 2006. The increase is mainly due to a pretax gain of approximately $3.2 million from the sale of the Company’s Grant Hatch insurance agency and certain other insurance assets.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2007 was $352.0 million, an increase of 8.5% over the $324.5 million for the first quarter of 2006. The Company’s efficiency ratio was 57.8% for the first quarter of 2007 compared to 58.2% for the same period of 2006. The improvement in the efficiency ratio reflects a reduction in the higher Amegy cost structure, and lower merger related expenses.

Salaries and employee benefits increased $19.7 million or 10.6% compared to the first quarter of 2006. The increase from the prior year was due to salary increases and increased staffing levels in selected areas and $3.3 million from the Stockmen’s acquisition.

Other noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2007 increased $7.8 million or 15.3% compared to the first quarter of 2006. This expense includes a $3.0 million write-down on repossessed equipment; this equipment was collateral on an equipment lease on which we recorded a loan loss related to an alleged accounting fraud at a water bottling company during the fourth quarter of 2006.

At March 31, 2007, the Company had 10,965 full-time equivalent employees, 509 domestic branches, and 596 ATMs, compared to 10,136 full-time equivalent employees, 469 domestic branches, and 582 ATMs at March 31, 2006.

Income Taxes

The Company’s income tax expense increased to $88.9 million for the first quarter of 2007 compared to $75.3 million for the same period in 2006. The Company’s effective income tax rates, including the effects of minority interest, were 36.7% and 35.4% for the first quarter of 2007 and 2006, respectively. Additionally, income taxes for the first quarter of 2007 included approximately $2.9 million of taxes and penalties to surrender certain bank-owned life insurance contracts. As discussed in previous filings, the Company has received federal income tax credits under the Community Development Financial Institutions Fund set up by the U.S. Government that will be recognized over a seven-year period from the year of investment. The effect of these tax credits was to reduce income tax expense by $1.3 million and $1.0 million for the first quarter of 2007 and 2006, respectively. The tax rates reflect a lower proportion of tax exempt income to total income for 2007 compared to 2006, partially offset by the increased tax credits.

Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”),Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. As a result of adopting this new accounting guidance, the Company reduced its existing liability for unrecognized tax benefits by approximately $10.4 million at January 1, 2007 and recognized a cumulative effect adjustment as an increase to retained earnings.

BALANCE SHEET ANALYSIS

As previously disclosed, the Company completed its acquisition of The Stockmen’s Bancorp, Inc. effective January 17, 2007. Certain comparisons to 2006 periods reflect the impact of this acquisition.

Interest-Earning Assets

Interest-earning assets are those assets that have interest rates or yields associated with them and consist of money market investments, securities and loans.

Average interest-earning assets increased 12.5% to $41.7 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to $37.1 billion for the same period in 2006. Interest-earning assets comprised 87.8% of total average assets for the first three months of 2007, compared with 86.9% for the comparable period of 2006.

Average money market investments, consisting of interest-bearing deposits, federal funds sold and security resell agreements, decreased 3.9% to $492 million for the first three months of 2007 compared to $512 million for the first three months of 2006. Average net loans and leases for the first three months of 2007 increased by 16.2% when compared to the same period in 2006. Average total deposits for the first three months of 2007 increased 9.5% compared to the same period in 2006, with interest-bearing deposits increasing 14.5% and noninterest-bearing deposits decreasing 2.2%.

Our review did not result in an other than temporary impairment adjustment during the quarter ended March 31, 2007.

The investment securities portfolio includes $1.0 billion of nonrated, fixed income securities, essentially unchanged from the balances at both December 31, 2006 and March 31, 2006. These securities include nonrated municipal securities as well as nonrated, asset-backed subordinated tranches.

Loan Portfolio

Net loans and leases at March 31, 2007 were $35.9 billion, an annualized increase of 14.7% from December 31, 2006 and an increase of 15.4% over the balance at March 31, 2006. Excluding $730 million of loans acquired from Stockmen’s, on-balance-sheet net loans and leases increased approximately $547 million or 6.3% annualized during the quarter.

The loan growth noted above for commercial and commercial real estate lending principally resulted from “organic” loan growth at Zions Bank and Amegy Bank of Texas, and from the impact of the loans acquired with Stockmen’s. Organic loan growth slowed significantly from previous quarters due particularly to a continued reduction in the rate of residential housing construction and development lending in California, Arizona and Nevada.

Sold Loans Being Serviced

Zions performs loan servicing on both loans that it holds in its portfolios and also on loans that are owned by third party investor-owned trusts. The Company has used asset securitizations to sell loans and in many instances provides the servicing on these loans as a condition of the sale.

Securitized loans being serviced for others totaled $ 2.4 billion at March 31, 2007, $2.6 billion at December 31, 2006, and $3.2 billion at March 31, 2006. The Company did not complete a small business loans securitization during 2006 or the first quarter of 2007 and also discontinued selling new home equity credit line originations during the fourth quarter of 2006.

As of March 31, 2007, the Company had recorded assets, comprised of subordinated retained interests and capitalized residual cash flows, in the amount of $307 million in connection with the $2.4 billion of sold loans being serviced. As is a common practice with securitized transactions, the Company had retained subordinated interests in the securitized assets that totaled $228 million at March 31, 2007, which represented junior positions to the other investors in the trust securities. The capitalized residual cash flows, which are sometimes referred to as “excess servicing,” of $79 million primarily represent the present value of the excess cash flows that have been projected over the lives of the sold loans.

As of March 31, 2007, conforming long-term first mortgage real estate loans being serviced for others were $1,242 million, compared with $1,251 million at December 31, 2006 and $1,263 million at March 31, 2006.

Deposits

Total deposits at the end of the first quarter of 2007 increased to $36.3 billion, an annualized increase of 15.4% from the balances reported at December 31, 2006, and increased 10.5% over the March 31, 2006 amounts. Excluding $1.1 billion acquired from Stockmen’s, total deposits increased $249 million or 2.8% annualized during the quarter.

Core deposits at March 31, 2007 increased 7.3%, annualized, compared to the December 31, 2006 balance and 3.5% compared to the balance at March 31, 2006. Excluding $924 million acquired from Stockmen’s, core deposits decreased $365 million during the quarter. Noninterest-bearing demand deposits declined $249 million or 10% annualized from the year-end balances and decreased 1.9% from balances at March 31, 2006. Excluding $258 million acquired from Stockmen’s, noninterest-bearing demand deposits decreased approximately $507 million during the quarter.

The mix of deposits reflects the decline in demand deposits during the first quarter of 2007 as demand, savings and money market deposits comprised 72.2% of total deposits at the end of the first quarter, compared with 74.0% and 80.0% as of December 31, 2006 and March 31, 2006, respectively. Management expects that deposit growth may continue to lag behind loan growth, and that some future loan growth, therefore, may be funded from higher cost sources.

RISK ELEMENTS

Since risk is inherent in substantially all of the Company’s operations, management of risk is an integral part of its operations and is also a key determinant of its overall performance. We apply various strategies to reduce the risks to which the Company’s operations are exposed, including credit, interest rate and market, liquidity and operational risks.

Credit Risk Management

Effective management of credit risk is essential in maintaining a safe, sound and profitable financial institution. We have structured the organization to separate the lending function from the credit administration function, which has added strength to the control over and the independent evaluation of credit activities. Formal loan policies and procedures provide the Company with a framework for consistent underwriting and a basis for sound credit decisions. In addition, the Company has a well-defined set of standards for evaluating its loan portfolio, and management utilizes a comprehensive loan grading system to determine the risk potential in the portfolio. Further, an independent, internal credit examination department periodically conducts examinations of the Company’s lending departments. These examinations are designed to review credit quality, adequacy of documentation, appropriate loan grading administration and compliance with lending policies, and reports thereon are submitted to the Credit Review Committee of the Board of Directors.

Both the credit policy and the credit examination functions are managed centrally. Each affiliate bank is permitted to modify corporate credit policy to be more conservative; however, corporate approval must be obtained if a bank wishes to create a more liberal exception to policy. Historically, only a limited number of such exceptions have been approved. This entire process has been designed to place an emphasis on strong underwriting standards and early detection of potential problem credits so that action plans can be developed and implemented on a timely basis to mitigate any potential losses.

Another aspect of the Company’s credit risk management strategy is to pursue the diversification of the loan portfolio. The Company maintains a diversified loan portfolio with some emphasis in real estate. As set forth

We believe the Company’s potential risk from concentration in owner occupied commercial loans is reduced by the emphasis we place on lending programs sponsored by the Small Business Administration (“SBA”). On these types of loans, the SBA bears a major portion of the credit risk. In addition, the Company attempts to avoid the risk of an undue concentration of credits in a particular industry, trade group or property type. The Company also has no significant exposure to highly-leveraged transactions and the majority of the Company’s business activity is with customers located within the geographical footprint of its banking subsidiaries. Finally, the Company has no significant exposure to any individual customer or counterparty.

The Company does not pursue subprime or alternative (“Alt-A”) residential mortgage lending and has little or no direct exposure to that market.

A more comprehensive discussion of our credit risk management is contained in Zions’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. In addition, as discussed in the following sections, the Company’s level of credit quality continued to be strong during the first quarter of 2007 compared to historical standards. While we see no meaningful signs of deterioration in credit quality, we believe that we will not be able to maintain this level of credit quality indefinitely.

Nonperforming Assets

Nonperforming assets include nonaccrual loans, restructured loans, other real estate owned, and other nonperforming assets. Loans are generally placed on nonaccrual status when the loan is 90 days or more past due as to principal or interest, unless the loan is both well secured and in the process of collection. Consumer loans are not normally placed on nonaccrual status, inasmuch as they are generally charged off when they become 120 days past due. Loans occasionally may be restructured to provide a reduction or deferral of interest or principal payments. This generally occurs when the financial condition of a borrower deteriorates to the point that the borrower

26

ZIONS BANCORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

needs to be given temporary or permanent relief from the original contractual terms of the loan. Other real estate owned is acquired primarily through or in lieu of foreclosure on loans secured by real estate.

The following table sets forth the Company’s nonperforming assets:

(Amounts in millions)	March 31, 2007		December 31, 2006		March 31, 2006
Nonaccrual loans	$	70	$	67	$	72

% of net loans and leases*		0.16%		0.13%		0.03%

*Includes loans held for sale.

Total nonperforming assets increased 1.2% as of March 31, 2007 compared with the balance at December 31, 2006.

Included in nonaccrual loans are loans that we have determined to be impaired. Loans, other than those included in large groups of smaller-balance homogeneous loans, are considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement, including scheduled interest payments. The amount of the impairment is measured based on either the present value of expected cash flows, the observable market value of the loan, or the fair value of the collateral securing the loan.

The Company’s total recorded investment in impaired loans was $48 million at March 31, 2007, compared with $47 million at December 31, 2006 and $40 million at March 31, 2006. Estimated losses on impaired loans are included in the allowance for loan losses. At March 31, 2007, the allowance for loan losses included $4 million for impaired loans with a recorded investment of $20 million. At December 31, 2006, the allowance included $6 million for impaired loans with an $18 million recorded investment, and at March 31, 2006 the allowance included $4 million for impaired loans with a $26 million recorded investment.

The amount of accruing loans past due 90 days or more has increased to $57 million at March 31, 2007 from $10 million at March 31, 2006. Of this increase, $23.2 million relates to several loans secured by real estate in the Las Vegas area, ranging in size from $0.8 million to $17.5 million. These loans are well collateralized and the Company anticipates full payment of principal and accrued interest.

Allowances for Credit Losses

Allowance for Loan Losses – In analyzing the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, we utilize a comprehensive loan grading system to determine the risk potential in the portfolio and also consider the results of independent internal credit reviews. To determine the adequacy of the allowance, the Company’s loan and lease portfolio is broken into segments based on loan type.

For commercial loans, we use historical loss experience factors by loan segment, adjusted for changes in trends and conditions, to help determine an indicated allowance for each portfolio segment. These factors are evaluated and updated using migration analysis techniques and other considerations based on the makeup of the specific segment. These other considerations include:

• volumes and trends of delinquencies;

• levels of nonaccruals, repossessions and bankruptcies;

• trends in criticized and classified loans;

• expected losses on real estate secured loans;

• new credit products and policies;

• economic conditions;

• concentrations of credit risk; and

• experience and abilities of the Company’s lending personnel.

The allowance for consumer loans is determined using historically developed experience rates at which loans migrate from one delinquency level to the next higher level. Using average roll rates for the most recent twelve-month period and comparing projected losses to actual loss experience, the model estimates expected losses in dollars for the forecasted period. By refreshing the model with updated data, it is able to project losses for a new twelve-month period each month, segmenting the portfolio into nine product groupings with similar risk profiles. This methodology is an accepted industry practice, and the Company believes it has a sufficient volume of information to produce reliable projections.

The methodology used by Amegy to estimate its allowance for loan losses has not yet been conformed to the process used by the other affiliate banks. However, the process used by Amegy is not significantly different than the process used by our other affiliate banks.

The Company has initiated a comprehensive review of its allowance for loan losses methodology with a view toward updating and conforming the methodology across all of its banking subsidiaries.

*Includes loans held for sale.

Net loan and lease charge-offs, along with their annualized ratios to average loans and leases, are shown in the preceding table for the periods presented. The same respective amounts for the fourth quarter of 2006 were $17.9 million and 0.21%.

The allowance for loan losses at March 31, 2007 increased $6.1 million from the level at year-end 2006. The amount of the allowance indicated for criticized and classified commercial loans increased $1.1 million. Criticized and classified loans increased slightly for both the commercial and commercial real estate portfolios. The level of the allowance for noncriticized and classified commercial loans increased $3.3 million, mainly the result of $1,129 million of new commercial and commercial real estate loan growth during the quarter. The allowance for consumer loans increased $1.7 million when compared to December 31, 2006 mainly driven by increases in consumer loan delinquencies. These changes include the impact of $730 million in loans and the $7.1 million allowance from the Stockmen’s acquisition.

Allowance for Unfunded Lending Commitments – The Company also estimates an allowance for potential losses associated with off-balance sheet commitments and standby letters of credit. We determine the allowance for unfunded lending commitments using a process that is similar to the one we use for commercial loans. Based on historical experience, we have developed experience-based loss factors that we apply to the Company’s unfunded lending commitments to estimate the potential for loss in that portfolio. These factors are generated from tracking commitments that become funded and develop into problem loans.

The following table sets forth the allowance for unfunded lending commitments:

(In millions)	Three Months Ended March 31, 2007		Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2006		Three Months Ended March 31, 2006

Interest Rate and Market Risk Management

Interest rate risk is the potential for loss resulting from adverse changes in the level of interest rates on the Company’s net interest income. Market risk is the potential for loss arising from adverse changes in the prices of fixed income securities, equity securities, other earning assets and derivative financial instruments as a result of changes in interest rates or other factors. As a financial institution that engages in transactions involving an array of financial products, the Company is exposed to both interest rate risk and market risk.

Interest Rate Risk – Interest rate risk is one of the most significant risks to which the Company is regularly exposed. In general, our goal in managing interest rate risk is to have the net interest margin increase slightly in a rising interest rate environment. We refer to this goal as being slightly “asset-sensitive.” This approach is based on our belief that in a rising interest rate environment, the market cost of equity, or implied rate at which future earnings are discounted, would also tend to rise. However, in recent months, competitive pressures and market conditions have resulted in higher deposit costs, slower deposit growth, and increases in borrowed funds, resulting in some contraction of the net interest margin.

We attempt to minimize the negative impact changes in interest rates will have on net interest income primarily through the use of interest rate swaps, and by avoiding large exposures to fixed rate interest-earning assets that have significant negative convexity. The prime lending rate and the London Interbank Offer Rate (“LIBOR”) curves are the primary indices used for pricing the Company’s loans. The interest rates paid on deposit accounts are set by individual banks so as to be competitive in each local market.

We monitor interest rate risk through the use of two complementary measurement methods: duration of equity and income simulation. In the duration of equity method, we measure the expected changes in the market values of equity in response to changes in interest rates. In the income simulation method, we analyze the expected changes in income in response to changes in interest rates. For

30

ZIONS BANCORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

income simulation, Company policy requires that interest sensitive income from a static balance sheet is expected to decline by no more than 10% during one year if rates were to immediately rise or fall in parallel by 200 basis points.

As of the dates indicated, the following table shows the Company’s estimated range of duration of equity and percentage change in interest sensitive income, based on a static balance sheet, in the first year after the rate change if interest rates were to sustain an immediate parallel change of 200 basis points; the “low” and “high” results differ based on the assumed speed of repricing of administered-rate deposits (money market, interest-on-checking, and savings):

	March 31, 2007				December 31, 2006
	Low		High		Low		High
Duration of equity:
Range (in years)	0.2		1.8		–		1.6
Duration of equity simulation change in years:
Increase interest rates by 200 bp	1.1		2.7		0.8		2.4
Income simulation – change in interest sensitive income:
Increase interest rates by 200 bp	-1.7	%	0.8	%	-0.9	%	1.5	%
Decrease interest rates by 200 bp	-3.2	%	-0.8	%	-3.6	%	-1.3	%

As discussed previously under the section, “Net Interest Income, Margin and Interest Rate Spreads,” the Company believes that in recent quarters, the dynamic balance sheet changes with regard to changes in the mix of deposits and other funding sources have tended to have a somewhat larger effect on the net interest spread and net interest margin than has the Company’s interest rate risk position.

Market Risk – Fixed Income – The Company engages in trading and market making of U.S. Treasury, U.S. Government Agency, municipal and corporate securities. This trading and market making exposes the Company to a risk of loss arising from adverse changes in the prices of these fixed income securities held by the Company.

At March 31, 2007, the Company had $32.4 million of trading account assets and $190.9 million of securities sold, not yet purchased compared with $63.4 million and $151.9 million of trading assets and $176.0 million and $55.6 million of securities sold, not yet purchased at December 31, 2006 and March 31, 2006, respectively. The increased securities sold balances as of March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006 are related to an Amegy Bank sweep product.

Market Risk – Equity Investments – Through its equity investment activities, the Company owns equity securities that are publicly traded and subject to fluctuations in their market prices or values. In addition, the Company owns equity securities in companies that are not publicly traded and that are accounted for under cost, fair value, equity, or full consolidation methods of accounting, depending upon the Company’s ownership position and degree of involvement in influencing the investees’ affairs. In either case, the value of the Company’s investment is subject to fluctuation. Since the market prices or values associated with these securities may fall below the Company’s investment costs, the Company is exposed to the possibility of loss. These equity investments are approved, monitored and evaluated by the Company’s Equity Investment Committee.

The Company generally conducts minority investing in prepublic venture capital companies in which it does not have strategic involvement, through four funds collectively referred to as Wasatch Venture Funds (“Wasatch”). Wasatch screens investment opportunities and

31

ZIONS BANCORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

makes investment decisions based on its assessment of business prospects and potential returns. After an investment is made, Wasatch actively monitors the performance of each company in which it has invested, and often has representation on the board of directors of the company.

In addition to the program described above, Amegy has in place an alternative investments program. These investments are primarily directed towards equity buyout and mezzanine funds with a key strategy of deriving ancillary commercial banking business from the portfolio companies. Early stage venture capital funds are not part of the strategy since the underlying companies are typically not credit worthy.

The Company also, from time to time, either starts and funds businesses or makes significant investments in companies of strategic interest. These investments may result in either minority or majority ownership positions, and usually give board representation to Zions or its subsidiaries. These strategic investments generally are in companies that are financial services or financial technologies providers.

A more comprehensive discussion of the Company’s interest rate and market risk management is contained in Zions’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.

Liquidity Risk Management

Liquidity is managed centrally for both the Parent and the bank subsidiaries. The Parent’s cash requirements consist primarily of debt service, investment in and advances to subsidiaries, operating expenses, income taxes, dividends to shareholders and share repurchases. The Parent’s cash needs are routinely met through dividends from its subsidiaries, investment income, and subsidiaries’ proportionate share of current income taxes, management and other fees, bank lines, equity contributed through the exercise of stock options, commercial paper, and long-term debt and equity issuances.

During the first three months of 2007, the Parent received $113 million in dividends from its subsidiaries. At March 31, 2007, $470 million of dividend capacity was available for the subsidiaries to pay to the Parent under regulatory guidelines.

Operational cash flows, while constituting a funding source for the Company, are not large enough to provide funding in the amounts that fulfill the needs of the Parent and the bank subsidiaries. For the first three months of 2007, operations contributed $127.2 million toward these needs. As a result, the Company utilizes other sources at its disposal to manage its liquidity needs.

The Parent also has a program to issue short-term commercial paper. At March 31, 2007, outstanding commercial paper was $187.0 million. In addition, at March 31, 2007, the Parent had a secured revolving credit facility with a subsidiary bank totaling $40 million. No amount was outstanding on this facility at March 31, 2007.

The subsidiaries’ primary source of funding is their core deposits, consisting of demand, savings and money market deposits, time deposits under $100,000 and foreign deposits. At March 31, 2007, these core deposits, in aggregate, constituted 86.0% of consolidated deposits, compared with 87.7% of consolidated deposits at December 31, 2006. For the first three months of 2007, increases in deposits resulted in net cash inflows of $249 million excluding the acquisition of Stockmen’s.

The Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) system is also a significant source of liquidity for each of the Company’s subsidiary banks. Zions Bank and TCBW are members of the FHLB of Seattle. CB&T, NSB, and NBA are members of the FHLB of San Francisco. Vectra is a member of the FHLB of Topeka and Amegy is a member of the FHLB of Dallas. The FHLB allows member banks to borrow against their eligible loans to satisfy liquidity requirements. For the first three months of 2007, the activity in short-term FHLB borrowings resulted in a net cash outflow of approximately $194 million.

32

ZIONS BANCORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

The Company uses asset securitizations to sell loans, which also provides an alternative source of funding for the subsidiaries and enhances flexibility in meeting their funding needs. During the first quarter of 2007, loan sales (other than loans held for sale) provided $10.9 million in cash inflows.

At March 31, 2007, the Company managed approximately $2.4 billion of securitized assets that were originated or purchased by its subsidiary banks. Of these, approximately $1.5 billion were credit-enhanced by a third party insurance provider and held in Lockhart Funding, LLC, which is a qualifying special-purpose entity securities conduit and has been an important source of funding for the Company’s loans. Zions Bank provides a Liquidity Facility for a fee to Lockhart, which purchases floating-rate U.S. Government and AAA-rated securities with funds from the issuance of commercial paper. Zions Bank also provides interest rate hedging support and administrative and investment advisory services for a fee. Pursuant to the Liquidity Facility, Zions Bank is required to purchase securities from Lockhart to provide funds for it to repay maturing commercial paper upon Lockhart’s inability to access the commercial paper market, or upon a commercial paper market disruption, as specified in the governing documents of Lockhart. In addition, pursuant to the governing documents, including the Liquidity Facility, if any security in Lockhart is downgraded below AA-, Zions Bank must either 1) place its letter of credit on the security, 2) obtain a credit enhancement on the security from a third party, or 3) purchase the security from Lockhart at book value. At any given time, the maximum commitment of Zions Bank is the book value of Lockhart’s securities portfolio, which is not allowed to exceed the size of the Liquidity Facility.

At March 31, 2007, the book value of Lockhart’s securities portfolio was $4.0 billion, which approximated market value, and the size of the Liquidity Facility commitment was $6.12 billion. No amounts were outstanding under this Liquidity Facility at March 31, 2007, December 31, 2006 or March 31, 2006. Lockhart is limited in size by program agreements, agreements with rating agencies and by the size of the Liquidity Facility.

As described in Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, the FASB continues to deliberate proposals to further amend SFAS No. 140,Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities. These proposals may require changes to the operating activities of qualifying special-purpose entities and other aspects relating to the transfer of financial assets. As a result of these proposals, Lockhart’s operations may need to be modified to preserve its off-balance sheet status.

The Company’s investment activities can also provide or use cash. For the first three months of 2007, investment securities activities resulted in a decrease in investment securities holdings and a net increase of cash in the amount of $99 million.

Maturing balances in the various loan portfolios also provide additional flexibility in managing cash flows. In most cases, however, loan growth has resulted in net cash outflows from a funding standpoint. For the first three months of 2007, loan growth resulted in a net cash outflow of $523 million.

A more comprehensive discussion of our liquidity management is contained in Zions’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.

Operational Risk Management

Operational risk is the potential for unexpected losses attributable to human error, systems failures, fraud, or inadequate internal controls and procedures. In its ongoing efforts to identify and manage operational risk, the Company has created an Operating Risk Management Group, whose responsibility is to help Company management identify and monitor the key internal controls and processes that the Company has in place to mitigate operational risk. We have documented controls and the Control Self Assessment related to financial reporting under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991.

33

ZIONS BANCORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

To manage and minimize its operating risk, the Company has in place transactional documentation requirements, systems and procedures to monitor transactions and positions, regulatory compliance reviews, and periodic reviews by the Company’s internal audit and credit examination departments. In addition, reconciliation procedures have been established to ensure that data processing systems consistently and accurately capture critical data. Further, we maintain contingency plans and systems for operations support in the event of natural or other disasters. We expect to continue efforts to improve the Company’s oversight of operational risk in 2007.

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The Company has a fundamental financial objective to consistently produce superior risk-adjusted returns on its shareholders’ capital. We believe that a strong capital position is vital to continued profitability and to promoting depositor and investor confidence.

Total shareholders’ equity on March 31, 2007 was $5.3 billion, up 5.5% from $5.0 billion at December 31, 2006 and 21.1% from $4.3 billion at March 31, 2006. The Company’s capital ratios were as follows as of the dates indicated:

	March 31,   2007	December 31,   2006	March 31,   2006
Tangible equity ratio	6.59%	6.51%	5.51%
Average equity to average assets (three months ended)	10.94%	10.37%	10.13%
Risk-based capital ratios:
Tier 1 leverage	7.92%	7.86%	7.37%
Tier 1 risk-based capital	8.00%	7.98%	7.65%
Total risk-based capital	12.15%	12.29%	12.40%

It is our belief that capital not considered necessary to support current and anticipated business should be returned to the Company’s shareholders through dividends and repurchases of its shares. The Company has stated that its target range for the tangible equity ratio is 6.25% to 6.50%; the actual ratio at March 31, 2007 was 9 basis points above the top of this range.

In December 2006, the Company resumed its stock repurchase plan, which had been suspended since July 2005 because of the Amegy acquisition. On December 11, 2006, the Board authorized a $400 million repurchase program. The Company repurchased and retired 1,210,114 shares of its common stock in the first quarter of 2007 at a total cost of $102.9 million and an average per share price of $85.01 under this share repurchase authorization. The remaining authorized amount for share repurchase as of March 31, 2007 was $272.2 million.

The Parent and its subsidiary banks are required to maintain adequate levels of capital as measured by several regulatory capital ratios. As of March 31, 2007, the Company and each of its banking subsidiaries met the “well capitalized” guidelines under regulatory standards.

34

ZIONS BANCORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Dividends per common share of $0.39 and $0.36 were paid in the first quarter of 2007 and 2006, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2007, the Company paid $42.8 million in common stock dividends compared to $38.1 million in the same period of 2006.

At its May 2007 meeting, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a dividend in the amount of $0.43 per share of common stock. The dividend is payable May 23, 2007 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on May 9, 2007.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
