Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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. On October 15, 1999 the Company completed its acquisition of Pioneer Bancorporation in a transaction accounted for as a pooling of interests. The acquisition was considered significant and prior year amounts have accordingly been restated. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2000. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in Zions Bancorporation's Annual Report to Shareholders on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999. First Security Corporation Merger Termination On June 6, 1999 the Company entered into a definitive Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Agreement") with First Security Corporation. First Security Corporation's stockholders approved the transaction at a meeting held on March 22, 2000. In a special meeting of shareholders held on March 31, 2000, the Company's shareholders declined to adopt the Agreement and the Company was notified the next day by First Security Corporation that it was terminating the Agreement. Included in results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2000 are approximately $42.7 million of pre-tax merger expenses related to the termination of the merger and the related disengagement. Also included in results of operations is a pre-tax impairment loss on First Security Corporation common stock owned by the Company of $96.9 million. It is possible that the Company could incur additional unidentified expenses related to the merger termination and related disengagement process. Accounting Standards Not Adopted In September 1998, the FASB issued Statement No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. Statement No. 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. It requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure those instruments at fair value. The accounting for gains and losses of a derivative depends on the intended use of the derivative and the resulting designation. Under this statement, an entity that elects to apply hedge accounting is required to establish at the inception of the hedge the method it will use for assessing the effectiveness of the hedging derivative and the measurement approach for determining the ineffective aspect of the hedge. Those methods must be consistent with the entity's approach to managing risk.

Before merger-related charges, net income for the second quarter of 2000 was $60.3 million or $0.70 per diluted share, an increase of 5.8% and 6.0%, respectively, over the $57.0 million or $0.66 per diluted share earned before merger-related charges, in the first quarter of 2000. Results for the first quarter of 2000 included $85.5 million in after-tax charges ($0.99 per share) related to the Company's terminated merger with First Security Corporation, including a write down to market value of its investment in First Security Corporation common stock. Including the merger-related charges the Company incurred a net loss of $28.5 million or $0.33 per diluted share for the first quarter of 2000. Consolidated net income was $31.1 million or $0.36 per diluted share for the first six months of 2000 compared to $97.7 million or $1.14 per diluted share for the first six months of 1999. Before merger-related charges, net income was $117.2 million or $1.36 per diluted share compared to $99.0 million or $1.16 per diluted share for the first six months of 1999, increases of 18.4% and 17.2%, respectively. The annualized return on average assets for the second quarter of 2000 was 1.12% compared to 1.04% for the first quarter of 1999 and a negative 0.54% for the first quarter of 2000. The annualized return on average common shareholder's equity was 14.93% for the quarter compared to 13.41% for the second quarter of 1999 and a negative 6.91% for the first quarter of 2000. The Company's "efficiency ratio," or noninterest expenses as a percentage of total taxable-equivalent net revenues for the second quarter was 62.04% compared to 65.74% for the second quarter of 1999 and 78.42% for the first quarter of 2000. For the first six months of 2000 the annualized return on average assets was 0.29% compared to 1.02% for the same period in 1999. The annualized return on average common shareholder's equity was 3.83% for the first six months of 2000 compared to 13.15% for the first six months of 1999. The Company's second quarter $8.8 million (17.2%) increase in earnings compared to the same period a year ago reflects a $9.3 million (5.0%) increase in net interest income, and a $7.6 million (12.0%) increase in noninterest income, partially offset by a $2.1 million (50.0%) increase in the provision for loan losses, a $1.4 million (0.9%) increase in noninterest expense and a $4.5 million (16.7%) increase in income tax expense. For the first six months of 2000 compared to the same period last year the $66.6 million (68.2%) decrease in net income results from the recognition of after-tax merger charges of $86.1 million ($1.00 per diluted share) related to the Company's terminated merger with First Security Corporation. Other changes reflected in the results for the first six months of 2000 compared to the same period last year include a $23.4 (6.5%) increase in net interest income and a $2.7 million (2.1%) increase in noninterest income excluding the $96.9 million impairment loss on First Security Corporation common stock. Noninterest expense excluding merger-related expense decreased $1.4 million (0.43%), the provision for loan losses increased $2.6 million (29.0%), and income tax expense decreased $44.2 million (82.3%). 11 ZIONS BANCORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES OPERATING CASH EARNINGS RESULTS The Company is also providing its earnings performance on an operating cash basis since it believes that its cash performance is a better reflection of its financial position and shareholder value creation as well as its ability to support growth, pay dividends, and repurchase stock than reported net income. Operating cash earnings are earnings before amortization of goodwill and core deposit intangible assets and merger expenses. Operating cash earnings for the quarter were $68.4 million or $0.79 per diluted share, an increase of 15.4% and 14.5%, respectively, over the $59.3 million or $0.69 per diluted share earned in the second quarter of 1999. Operating cash earnings for the second quarter of 2000 increased 5.1% over the $65.1 million earned during the first quarter of 2000. Operating cash earnings per diluted share for the second quarter of 2000 increased 5.3% over the $.75 for the first quarter of 2000. Year-to-date operating cash earnings were $133.5 million or $1.54 per diluted share, an increase of 16.7% and 14.9%, respectively, over the $114.4 million or $1.34 per diluted share earned in the first half of 1999. The operating cash annualized return on average assets for the second quarter and for the first six months of 2000 was 1.33% and 1.29% compared to 1.25% and 1.24%, respectively, in 1999. Operating cash annualized return on average common shareholders' equity was 28.90% and 27.55% for the second quarter and for the first six months of 2000, compared to the restated 27.34% and 27.28% for the same periods of 1999. The Company's cash efficiency ratio for the second quarter and for the first six months of 2000 was 58.16% and 58.33%, respectively, compared to 61.76% and 61.95% for the same periods of 1999. NET INTEREST INCOME AND INTEREST RATE SPREADS Net interest income for the second quarter of 2000, adjusted to a fully taxable-equivalent basis, increased 5.2% to $199.1 million compared to $189.3 million for the second quarter of 1999 and increased 2.2% from $194.8 million for the first quarter of 2000. Net interest margin was 4.23% for the second quarter of 2000, compared to 4.39% for the second quarter of 1999 and 4.14% for the first quarter of 2000. Six-month net interest income, on a fully taxable-equivalent basis, was $393.9 million in 2000, an increase of 6.5% compared to $369.8 million for the first six months of 1999. Net interest margin for the first six months of 2000 was 4.18%, compared to 4.39% for the first six months of 1999. The decreased margins for 2000 compared to 1999 reflect continued robust loan growth by the Company which has been financed by short-term funding sources instead of the traditional core deposit growth normally experienced by the Company. The yield on average earning assets increased 69 basis points during the second quarter of 2000 as compared to the second quarter of 1999, and 37 basis points from the first quarter of 2000. The average rate paid this quarter on interest-bearing funds increased 92 basis points from the second quarter of 1999 and increased 32 basis points from the first quarter of 2000. Comparing the first six months of 2000 with 1999, the yield on average earning assets increased 50 basis points, while the cost of interest-bearing funds increased by 75 basis points. The spread on average interest-bearing funds for the second quarter of 2000 was 3.51%, down from the 3.74% for the second quarter of 1999 and up from the 3.46% for the first quarter of 2000. The spread on average interest-bearing funds for the first six months of 2000 was 3.48%, down from 3.73% for the first six months of 1999. 12 ZIONS BANCORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES CONSOLIDATED AVERAGE BALANCE SHEETS, YIELDS AND RATES (Unaudited) Three Months Ended Three Months Ended June 30, 2000 June 30, 1999 -------------------------------------- -------------------------------------- Average Amount of Average Average Amount of Average (In thousands) Balance Interest(1) Rate Balance Interest(1) Rate ------------ ------------ ------- ------------ ------------ ------- ASSETS Money market investments ...................... $ 1,107,087 $ 18,313 6.65% $ 1,204,125 $ 17,128 5.71% Securities: Held to maturity ......................... 3,279,077 54,967 6.74% 3,190,395 50,393 6.34% Available for sale ....................... 614,748 10,296 6.74% 670,678 9,575 5.73% Trading account .......................... 615,975 9,712 6.34% 605,478 7,983 5.29% ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ Total securities .................... 4,509,800 74,975 6.69% 4,466,551 67,951 6.10% ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ Loans: Loans held for sale ...................... 174,358 3,261 7.52% 175,563 3,088 7.05% Net loans and leases(2)................... 13,152,721 304,575 9.31% 11,447,508 249,395 8.74% ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ Total loans ......................... 13,327,079 307,836 9.29% 11,623,071 252,483 8.71% ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ Total interest-earning assets.................. $ 18,943,966 $ 401,124 8.52% $ 17,293,747 $ 337,562 7.83% ------------ ------------ Cash and due from banks ....................... 833,878 842,440 Allowance for loan losses .....................

Loans include nonaccrual and restructured loans. 14 ZIONS BANCORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES The Company manages its earnings sensitivity to interest rate movements, in part, by matching the repricing characteristics of its assets and liabilities and through the use of off-balance sheet arrangements such as caps, floors and interest rate exchange contracts. Net interest income from the use of such off-balance sheet arrangements for the first six months of 2000 was $1.7 million compared to $5.4 million for the first six months of 1999. PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES The provision for loan losses increased 50.0% to $6.2 million for the second quarter of 2000, as compared with $4.1 million for the second quarter of 1999, and increased 18.4% from the $5.2 million for the first quarter of 2000. The provision for loan losses for the first six months of 2000 totaled $11.5 million, 29.0% more than the $8.9 million provision for the first six months of 1999. Annualized the provision is .18% of average loans for 2000 compared to .16% for 1999. NONINTEREST INCOME Noninterest income for the second quarter of 2000 was $70.6 million, an increase of 12.0% from the $63.0 million for the second quarter of 1999 and an increase of 16.5% from the $60.6 million for the first quarter of 2000 (excluding the impairment loss on First Security Corporation common stock). Comparing the segments of noninterest income for the second quarter of 2000 and the second quarter of 1999, service charges on deposit accounts increased 3.4%, other service charges and fees decreased 12.5%, trust income increased 7.2%, underwriting and trading income decreased 37.4%, loan sales and servicing income increased 2.4% and other income increased 125.3%. The increase in net investment securities gain is mainly the result of pre-tax gains of $2.0 million recognized on the sale of First Security Corporation common stock during the second quarter of 2000. The increase in other income is mainly due to increased income of approximately $5.2 million from nonmarketable securities including venture fund investments and increased income from additional investments in bank owned life insurance. Loan sales and servicing income for the second quarter of 2000 also includes approximately $4.6 million of income resulting from maturity, interest rate and default assumption adjustments in the securitization models utilized to determine income from loan sales. Noninterest income for the six months ended June 30, 2000 excluding the $96.9 million impairment loss on First Security Corporation common stock was $131.2 million, an increase of 2.1% from the $128.5 million for same period in 1999. Comparing the segments of noninterest income for the first six months of 2000 with the first six months of 1999, service charges on deposit accounts increased 2.7%, other service charges, commissions and fees decreased 7.4%, trust income increased 18.6%, underwriting and trading income decreased 26.0%, loans sales and servicing income decreased 18.3%, and other income increased 33.4%. The Company recognized a net gain of $3.5 million on the sale of securities during the first six months of 2000 compared to a net loss of $1.1 million for the same period in 1999. The decrease in income from loan sales and servicing is mainly due to gains from the sale of mortgage servicing recognized during 1999. The increase in other income results mainly from the factors discussed previously for the second quarter increases in other income. 15 ZIONS BANCORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NONINTEREST EXPENSE Noninterest expense for the second quarter of 2000 was $167.3 million, an increase of 0.9% over $165.9 million for the second quarter of 1999, and a decrease of 16.5% from the $200.3 million for the first quarter of 2000. Excluding merger-related expenses, noninterest expense increased 4.7% for the second quarter of 2000 compared to the first quarter of the year. The first quarter of 2000 included a $4.1 million adjustment decreasing employee benefits to reflect a reduced post retirement benefit obligation related to changes adopted in the Company's Post Retirement Medical Benefits Plan. Without the adjustment in the first quarter noninterest expense, excluding all merger-related expenses, increased 2.0% from the first to second quarters of 2000. Comparing significant noninterest expense segments for the second quarter of 2000 and the second quarter of 1999, salaries and employee benefits decreased 0.1%, occupancy increased 3.1%, furniture and equipment expense increased 21.5%, and the total of all other expenses decreased 2.2%. Noninterest expense for the six months ending June 30, 2000 was $367.6 million which includes $42.7 million of merger-related expense. Excluding merger-related expense noninterest expense decreased 0.4% for the first six months of 2000 compared to the same period in 1999. Comparing significant noninterest expense segments for the first six months of 2000 and the comparable period in 1999, salaries and employee benefits decreased 3.0%, occupancy decreased 0.2%, furniture and equipment expense increased 20.7% and the total of all other expenses excluding merger charges decreased 0.5%. The increases in furniture and equipment expense for the second quarter and first six months of 2000 compared to the same periods in 1999 is mainly attributable to increased depreciation expense related to enhancements of desktop and processing systems. At June 30, 2000 the Company had 6,787 full-time equivalent employees, 364 offices and 498 ATMs compared to 6,911 full-time equivalent employees, 353 offices and 485 ATMs at June 30, 1999. INCOME TAXES The Company's income taxes increased 16.7% to $31.4 million for the second quarter of 2000 compared to $26.9 million for the second quarter of 1999. The Company's income taxes were $9.5 million for the first six months of 2000 as compared to $53.7 million for the first six months of 1999. The Company's effective income tax rate was 34.3% for the second quarter of 2000, compared to 34.4% for the second quarter of 1999. The effective income tax rate for the first six months of 2000 was 23.3% compared to 35.0% for the first six months of 1999. The decreased rate is due to the effect of merger costs and the impairment loss on First Security Corporation common stock, which are unusual, infrequently occurring items. ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION EARNING ASSETS Average earning assets increased 11.5% to $18,934 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000, compared to $16,975 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999. Earning assets comprised 88.4% of total average assets for the first six months of 2000, compared with 88.1% for the first six months of 1999. Average money market investments, consisting of interest-bearing deposits, federal funds sold and security resell agreements increased 13.0% to $1,244 million in the first six months of 2000 as compared to $1,101 million in the first six months of 1999. 16 ZIONS BANCORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES During the first six months of 2000, average securities increased 4.0% to $4,578 million compared to $4,404 million in the first six months of 1999. Average held to maturity securities increased 5.3%, available for sale securities decreased 4.1%, and trading account securities increased 6.7% compared with the first six months of 1999. Average net loans and leases increased 14.3% to $13,112 million for the first six months of 2000 compared to $11,470 million in the first six months of 1999, representing 69.2% of earning assets in the first six months of 2000 compared to 67.6% in the first six months of 1999. Average net loans and leases were 92.4% of average total deposits for the six months ended June 30, 2000, as compared to 81.9% for the six months ended June 30, 1999. INVESTMENT SECURITIES The following table presents the Company's investment securities on June 30, 2000, December 31, 1999 and June 30, 1999. As of June 30, 2000, the Company had approximately $44 million of Small Business Administration originator fee certificates that have been classified in other assets and are measured as available for sale securities.

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 well-defined standards for grading its loan portfolio, and management utilizes the comprehensive loan grading system to determine risk potential in the portfolio. Another aspect of the Company's credit risk management strategy is the diversification of the loan portfolio. The Company has a well-diversified loan portfolio with no significant exposure to highly leveraged transactions. The table below sets forth the amount of loans outstanding by type on June 30, 2000, December 31, 1999 and June 30, 1999.

All other loans, net of unearned income and fees increased 8.0% to $13,589 million on June 30, 2000 compared to $12,586 million on December 31, 1999. Commercial loans, construction loans, and other real estate-secured loans, increased from year end 6.8%, 22.2%, and 6.3%, respectively, as consumer loans, lease financing, and foreign loans decreased 5.4%, .7%, and 26.4%, respectively. Within the other real estate-secured loan portfolio, home equity credit line loans increased 0.9%, 1-4 family residential loans increased 14.6% and all other real estate loans increased 1.5% from year end. 18 ZIONS BANCORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES On June 30, 2000, long-term first mortgage real estate loans serviced for others totaled $221 million and consumer and other loan securitizations, which relate primarily to loans sold under revolving securitization structures, totaled $1,201 million. During the first six months of 2000, the Company sold $282 million of loans classified in held for sale, and securitized and sold home equity credit line loans, credit card receivables and automobile loans totaling $277 million. During the first six months of 2000, total loans sold were $559 million compared to total loans sold of $1,173 million during the first six months of 1999. RISK ELEMENTS The Company's nonperforming assets, which include nonaccruing loans, restructured loans, other real estate owned and other nonperforming assets, were $84 million on June 30, 2000, up from $75 million on December 31, 1999, and up from $59 million on June 30, 1999. Such nonperforming assets as a percentage of net loans and leases, other real estate owned and other nonperforming assets were .61%, .58% and .50% on June 30, 2000, December 31, 1999, and June 30, 1999, respectively. Accruing loans past due 90 days or more totaled $22 million on June 30, 2000, up from $21 million on December 31, 1999, and down from $27 million on June 30, 1999. These loans equaled .16% of net loans and leases on June 30, 2000, and December 31, 1999 and .23% on June 30, 1999. No loans to borrowers were considered potential problem loans at June 30, 2000, December 31, 1999 and June 30, 1999. Potential problem loans are defined as loans presently on accrual, not contractually past due 90 days or more and not restructured, but about which management has serious doubt as to the future ability of the borrower to comply with present repayment terms and which may result in the reporting of the loans as nonperforming assets. The Company's total recorded investment in impaired loans included in nonaccrual loans and leases, amounted to $68 million on June 30, 2000, as compared to $57 million on December 31, 1999, and $36 million on June 30, 1999. The Company considers a loan to be impaired when the accrual of interest has been discontinued and it meets other criteria under the statements. The amount of the impairment is measured based on the present value of expected cash flows, the observable market price of the loan, or the fair value of the collateral. Impairment losses are included in the allowance for loan losses through a provision for loan losses. Included in the allowance for loan losses on June 30, 2000, December 31, 1999, and June 30, 1999, is a required allowance of $17 million, $16 million and $16 million, respectively, on $25 million, $22 million and $21 million, respectively, of the recorded investment in impaired loans. 19 ZIONS BANCORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES The following table sets forth the nonperforming assets on June 30, 2000, December 31, 1999, and June 30, 1999.

The allowance, as a percentage of nonaccrual loans and accruing loans past due 90 days or more was 194.2% on June 30, 2000, compared to 238.1% on December 31, 1999 and 281.7% on June 30, 1999. On June 30, 2000, December 31, 1999, and June 30, 1999, the allowance for loan losses includes an allocation of $28 million, $23 million, and $21 million, respectively, related to commitments to extend credit on loans and standby letters of credit. Commitments to extend credit on loans and standby letters of credit on June 30, 2000, December 31, 1999 and June 30, 1999 totaled $6,260 million, $6,001 million and $5,574 million, respectively. 20 ZIONS BANCORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES In analyzing the adequacy of the allowance for loan and lease losses, management utilizes a comprehensive loan grading system to determine risk potential in the portfolio, and considers the results of independent internal and external credit review, historical charge-off experience, and changes in the composition and volume of the portfolio. Other factors, such as general economic conditions and collateral values, are also considered. Larger problem credits are individually evaluated to determine appropriate reserve allocations. Additions to the allowance are based upon the resulting risk profile of the portfolio developed through the evaluation of the above factors. The following table shows the changes in the allowance for loan losses and a summary of loan loss experience.

Average savings and NOW deposits and average money market and super NOW deposits increased .5%, and 15.4%, respectively, during the first six months of 2000, compared with the same period one year earlier. Average time deposits under $100,000, time deposits over $100,000 and foreign deposits for the first six months of 2000 decreased 20.8%, 13.3%, and 16.4% respectively, from the first six months of 1999. Total deposits increased 3.2% to $14,514 million on June 30, 2000 as compared to $14,062 million on December 31, 1999. Comparing June 30, 2000 to December 31, 1999, demand deposits, savings and money market deposits, and time deposits over $100,000 increased 4.4%, 2.2%, and 36.6%, respectively, while time deposits under $100,000 and foreign deposits decreased 9.3%, and 39.5%, respectively. LIQUIDITY AND INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY The Company manages its liquidity to provide adequate funds to meet its financial obligations, including withdrawals by depositors and debt service requirements, as well as to fund customers' demand for credit. Liquidity is primarily provided by the regularly scheduled maturities of the Company's investment and loan portfolios. The Company's core deposits, consisting of demand, savings and money market deposits and time deposits under $100,000, constituted 89.0% of total deposits on June 30, 2000 as compared to 90.8% on December 31, 1999 and 90.2% on June 30, 1999. Maturing balances in loan portfolios provide flexibility in managing cash flows. Maturity management of those funds is an important source of medium to long-term liquidity. The Company's ability to raise funds in the capital markets through the securitization process and by debt issuance allows the Company to take advantage of market opportunities to meet funding needs at reasonable cost. The parent company's cash requirements consist primarily of debt service, dividends to shareholders, operating expenses, income taxes, and share repurchases. The parent company's cash needs are routinely satisfied through dividends from subsidiaries, the payment of proportionate shares of current income taxes by subsidiaries, management and other fees, unaffiliated bank lines and debt issuance. Interest rate risk is the most significant market risk regularly undertaken by Company. The Company believes there have been no significant changes in market risk compared to the disclosures in Zions Bancorporation's Annual Report to Shareholders on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999. Interest rate sensitivity measures the Company's financial exposure to changes in interest rates. Interest rate sensitivity is, like liquidity, affected by maturities of assets and liabilities. The Company assesses its interest rate sensitivity using duration and simulation analysis. Duration is a measure of the weighted average expected lives of the discounted cash flows from assets and liabilities. Simulation is used to estimate net interest income over time using alternative interest rate scenarios. 22 ZIONS BANCORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES The Company, through the management of maturities and repricing of its assets and liabilities and the use of off-balance sheet arrangements such as interest rate caps, floors, futures, options, and interest rate exchange agreements, attempts to minimize the effect on net income of changes in interest rates. The Company's management exercises its best judgment in making assumptions with respect to loan and security prepayments, early deposit withdrawals and other noncontrollable events in managing the Company's exposure to changes in interest rates. The interest rate risk position is actively managed and changes daily as the interest rate environment changes; therefore, positions at the end of any period may not be reflective of the Company's interest rate position in subsequent periods. The prime lending rate is the primary basis used for pricing the Company's loans and the short-term Treasury rate is the index used for pricing many of the Company's deposits. CAPITAL RESOURCES AND DIVIDENDS Total shareholders' equity on June 30, 2000 was $1,634 million, a decrease of 1.6% over the $1,660 million on December 31, 1999, and an increase of 7.4% over the $1,521 million on June 30, 1999. The decrease at June 30, 2000 compared to December 31, 1999 is due to the loss incurred during the first quarter of 2000 resulting from the failed merger with First Security Corporation. The ratio of average equity to average assets for the first six months of 2000 was 7.62% as compared to 7.78% for the same period in 1999. On June 30, 2000, the Company's Tier I risk-based capital ratio was 7.97%, as compared to 8.64% on December 31, 1999 and 8.71% on June 30, 1999. On June 30, 2000 the Company's total risk-based capital ratio was 10.51%, as compared to 11.29% on December 31, 1999 and 11.57% on June 30, 1999. The Company's leverage ratio on June 30, 2000 was 5.91%, as compared to 6.16% on December 31, 1999 and 6.00% on June 30, 1999. Dividends declared per common share for the second quarter of 2000 of $.20 decreased 31.0%, as compared to $.29 for the second quarter of 1999 and the first quarter of 2000. The common cash dividend payout of net income for the first six months of 2000 before the impairment loss recognized on First Security Corporation common stock was 46.16%, as compared to 34.78% for the first six months of 1999. During the first six months of 2000, the Company repurchased and retired 78,428 shares of its common stock at a cost of $3.8 million. 23 ZIONS BANCORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES OPERATING SEGMENT INFORMATION The following is a summary of selected operating segment information for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2000 and June 30, 1999.
