September 30, 2001

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
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.

Operating results for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2001
are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ended December 31, 2001. The balance sheet at December 31, 2000 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,
2000.

MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS

In July 2001, the Company completed three acquisitions of companies providing
e-commerce solutions. The Company acquired Internet Commerce Express, Inc. based
in Nashua, New Hampshire; ThinkXML, Inc. based in Rockville, Maryland; and
purchased assets of Frontier Technologies Corporation, based in Mequon,
Wisconsin. Consideration for the acquisitions consisted of approximately $50
million in cash and the issuance of approximately 112 thousand shares of common
stock. The acquired companies were subsequently merged into Internet Commerce
Express, Inc., and in October 2001, the company's name was changed to Lexign,
Inc.

In July 2001, the Company also announced that it had signed a definitive
agreement under which Minnequa Bank of Pueblo ("Minnequa") headquartered in
Pueblo, Colorado, will merge with and into the Company's subsidiary, Vectra Bank
Colorado. As of September 30, 2001, Minnequa had assets of approximately $336
million, total deposits of approximately $309 million, and five banking offices.
The acquisition is expected to close during the fourth quarter of 2001.

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

On January 1, 2001, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) Statement No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities. Statement No. 133, as amended by Statement Nos. 137 and 138,
establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and
hedging activities.

                                       9


ZIONS BANCORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

The adoption of Statement No. 133, as amended, resulted in transition
adjustments presented as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle
in the statement of income and in the statement of changes in shareholders'
equity and comprehensive income (loss). The transition adjustments relate to
recording the fair value of derivatives on the balance sheet, and to the effect
of transferring certain held-to-maturity investments to either the trading or
available-for-sale categories, as allowed by the Statement's transition
provisions.

In the statement of income for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, the
transition adjustments resulted in a reduction to net income of $7.2 million,
consisting of $.3 million, net of tax benefit of $.2 million, to record the fair
value of derivatives on the balance sheet, and $6.9 million, net of tax benefit
of $4.3 million, to reclassify certain investment securities. In the related
statement of changes in shareholders' equity and comprehensive income (loss),
the transition adjustments resulted in an increase to accumulated other
comprehensive income of $34.5 million, consisting of $21.3 million, net of tax
expense of $13.2 million, to record the fair value of derivatives on the balance
sheet, and $13.2 million, net of tax expense of $8.0 million, to reclassify
certain investment securities.

DEBT FINANCING

In May 2001, the Company issued $200 million in subordinated debt through Zions
Financial Corp., a newly formed subsidiary. The debt consists of fixed/floating
rate notes unconditionally guaranteed by Zions Bancorporation. The notes mature
in May 2011 and bear interest at 6.95% through May 2006 and at one-month LIBOR
plus 2.86% thereafter until maturity. The notes are redeemable in whole or in
part at the option of Zions Financial Corp. on or after May 15, 2006 at a
redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes being
redeemed. The notes were originally issued through a private placement; however,
they were registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission in August 2001.

In October 2001, Zions Bancorporation issued an additional $200 million in
subordinated debt in a private placement transaction. The debt carries
registration rights requiring the Company to file a registration statement to
cover an exchange of the notes for a series of notes with substantially
identical terms within 180 days of the date of the offering circular and to
consummate the exchange of the notes within 45 days of the effective date of the
registration statement. The debt consists of fixed/floating rate notes maturing
in October 2011. The notes bear interest at 6.50% through October 2006 and at
one-month LIBOR plus 3.01% thereafter until maturity. The notes are redeemable
in whole or in part at the option of the Company on or after October 15, 2006 at
a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes being
redeemed.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statements of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, Business Combinations, and No. 142,
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.

Statement No. 141 supersedes certain previous accounting guidance on business
combinations, and eliminates the pooling-of-interest method of accounting unless
the business combination was initiated prior to July 1, 2001. Certain changes
were also made to the criteria used to recognize intangible assets apart from
goodwill. The Statement is effective for any business combination completed
after June 30, 2001.

                                       10


ZIONS BANCORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Statement No. 142 also supersedes certain previous accounting rules for the
amortization of goodwill and intangible assets. Under the new rules, goodwill
and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives will no longer be
amortized, but will be subject to specified annual impairment tests. Other
intangible assets will continue to be amortized over their useful lives. This
Statement will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2002. Until the
Statement is adopted, transition rules provide for amortization of goodwill and
intangible assets acquired before June 30, 2001.

Application of the nonamortization provisions of Statement No. 142 is estimated
to increase net income by approximately $34 million ($0.36 per diluted share)
per year. Also, beginning in 2002, the Company will perform the first of the
required impairment tests of goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets as
of January 1, 2002, and has not yet determined what effect the results of these
tests will have on the Company's operations and financial position.

SUBSIDIARY COMPANY STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS

Digital Signature Trust Co. (DST), a majority-owned subsidiary of the Company's
wholly-owned subsidiary, Zions First National Bank, has stock options and
warrants outstanding to employees and others to purchase approximately 5,406,000
shares of DST common stock at September 30, 2001. The options and warrants are
not included in the Company's calculation of diluted earnings per share because
they are antidilutive.

ZIONS BANCORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

OPERATING RESULTS

Zions Bancorporation and subsidiaries (the Company) achieved net income of $72.8
million or $0.78 per diluted share for the third quarter of 2001, an increase of
12.6% and 5.4%, respectively, over the $64.6 million or $0.74 per diluted share
earned in the third quarter of 2000. Net income for the quarter before
merger-related charges of $2.6 million ($0.03 per share) was $75.4 million, or
$0.81 per share, representing an increase of 14.7% and 8.0%, respectively, over
the $65.7 million, or $0.75 per share earned before merger-related charges for
the third quarter of 2000.

Consolidated net income was $211.1 million or $2.29 per diluted share for the
first nine months of 2001, compared to $95.7 million or $1.10 per diluted share
for the first nine months of 2000. In 2001, net income included merger-related
charges of $4.7 million ($0.05 per share) and nonrecurring charges related to
the reclassification of investment securities and the related cumulative effect
of a change in accounting principle totaling $7.2 million ($0.08 per share). In
2000, net income included $87.2 million ($1.00 per share) mainly 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.

The annualized return on average assets for the third quarter of 2001 was 1.18%
compared to 1.17% for the third quarter of 2000 and 1.24% for the second quarter
of 2001. The annualized return on average common shareholders' equity was 12.96%
for the quarter, compared to 15.24% for the third quarter of 2000 and 13.67% for
the second quarter of 2001. The Company's "efficiency ratio," or noninterest
expenses as a percentage of total taxable-equivalent net revenues for the third
quarter was 61.91% compared to 60.34% for the third quarter of 2000 and 61.64%
for the second quarter of 2001.

For the first nine months of 2001, the annualized return on average assets was
1.20% compared to 0.59% for the same period in 2000. The annualized return on
average common shareholders' equity was 13.50% for the first nine months of 2001
compared to 7.75% for the first nine months of 2000.

The Company's third quarter $8.2 million (12.6%) increase in earnings compared
to the same period the previous year reflects a $39.1 million (18.8%) increase
in net interest income, a $33.0 million (43.7%) increase in noninterest income
and a $4.3 million increase resulting from changes to the minority interest,
partially offset by a $13.4 million (164.4%) increase in the provision for loan
losses, a $49.3 million (28.3%) increase in noninterest expense, and a $5.6
million (15.6%) increase in income taxes.

For the first nine months of 2001 compared to the same period the previous year,
the $115.4 million (120.5%) increase in net income results from a $104.3 million
(17.6%) increase in net interest income, a $107.4 million (52.0%) increase in
noninterest income, excluding the $96.9 million impairment loss on First
Security Corporation common stock in 2000, and a $7.9 million increase resulting
from changes to the minority interest, offset by a $26.9 million (137.4%)
increase in the provision for loan losses, a $91.0 million (16.8%) increase in
noninterest expense, a $76.2 million (168.7%) increase in income taxes, and the
$7.2 million cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle.

OPERATING CASH EARNINGS RESULTS

The Company also provides its earnings performance on an operating cash basis
because it believes its cash performance gives a better reflection of its
financial position and shareholder value creation, and better demonstrates its
ability to support growth, pay dividends, and repurchase stock, than providing
only reported net income. Operating cash earnings are earnings before
amortization of goodwill, amortization of core deposit and other intangible
assets, merger-related expenses and the cumulative effect of adoption of FASB
Statement No.133.

Operating cash earnings for the third quarter of 2001 were $87.2 million or
$0.93 per diluted share, an increase of 18.3% and 10.7%, respectively, over the
$73.7 million or $0.84 per diluted share earned in the third quarter of 2000.
Operating cash earnings for the third quarter of 2001 increased 3.1% over the
$84.5 million earned during the second quarter of 2001. Operating cash earnings
per diluted share for the third quarter of 2001 increased 2.2% from the $0.91
for the second quarter of 2001. Year-to-date operating cash earnings were $253.6
million or $2.76 per diluted share, an increase of 22.7% and 16.0%,
respectively, over the $206.6 million or $2.38 per diluted share earned for the
first nine months of 2000.

The operating cash annualized return on average assets for the third quarter and
for the first nine months of 2001 was 1.46% and 1.49% compared to 1.37% and
1.32%, respectively, in 2000. Operating cash annualized return on average common
shareholders' equity was 25.44% and 25.68% for the third quarter and for the
first nine months of 2001, compared to 28.08% and 27.68% for the same periods in
2000. The Company's cash efficiency ratio for the third quarter and for the
first nine months of 2001 was 56.97% and 57.43%, respectively, compared to
56.58% and 57.71% for the same periods in 2000.

NET INTEREST INCOME AND INTEREST RATE SPREADS

Net interest income for the third quarter of 2001, adjusted to a fully
taxable-equivalent basis, increased 18.5% to $252.2 million compared to $212.9
million for the third quarter of 2000, and increased 5.0% from $240.2 million
for the second quarter of 2001. Net interest margin was 4.65% for the third
quarter of 2001, compared to 4.34% for the third quarter of 2000 and 4.63% for
the second quarter of 2001. Nine-month net interest income, on a fully
taxable-equivalent basis, was $713.1 million in 2001, an increase of 17.5%
compared to $606.8 million for the first nine months of 2000. Net interest
margin for the first nine months of 2001 was 4.63%, compared to 4.24% for the
first nine months of 2000. The increased margins for 2001 compared to 2000
result primarily from a more attractive balance sheet composition including
strong loan growth and a decrease in borrowed funds.

The yield on average earning assets decreased 126 basis points during the third
quarter of 2001 as compared to the third quarter of 2000, and 46 basis points
from the second quarter of 2001. The average rate paid this quarter on
interest-bearing funds decreased 177 basis points from the third quarter of 2000
and 56 basis points from the second quarter of 2001. Comparing the first nine
months of 2001 with 2000, the yield on average earning assets decreased 49 basis
points, while the cost of interest-bearing funds decreased 95 basis points.

The spread on average interest-bearing funds for the third quarter of 2001 was
4.06%, up from 3.55% for the third quarter of 2000 and up from the 3.96% for the
second quarter of 2001. The spread on average interest-bearing funds for the
first nine months of 2001 was 3.96%, up from 3.50% for the first nine months of
2000.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

The provision for loan losses increased 164.4% to $21.5 million for the third
quarter of 2001, compared to $8.1 million for the third quarter of 2000, and
increased 76.2% from the $12.2 million for the second quarter of 2001. The
increase in the provision for the third quarter of 2001 reflects management's
evaluation of its various portfolios, the effects of local market economics,
statistical trends and other various economic factors. See related "Allowance
for Loan Losses" following. The provision for loan losses for the first nine
months of 2001 totaled $46.5 million, 137.4% more than the $19.6 million
provision for the first nine months of 2000. On an annualized basis, the
year-to-date provision is 0.39% of average loans for 2001 compared to 0.19% for
2000. The provision for loan losses reflects management's judgment of the
expense required to maintain an adequate allowance for loan losses.

NONINTEREST INCOME

Noninterest income for the third quarter of 2001 was $108.3 million, an increase
of 43.7% from the $75.3 million for the third quarter of 2000, and an increase
of 15.4% from the $93.9 million for the second quarter of 2001.

Comparing the segments of noninterest income for the third quarter of 2001 with
the third quarter of 2000, service charges on deposit accounts increased 37.7%,
other service charges and fees increased 35.2%, investment securities gains
(losses), net increased 315.8%, underwriting and trading income increased 54.0%,
loan sales and servicing income increased 97.5% and other noninterest income
decreased 79.2%. Service charges on deposit accounts for the third quarter of
2001 include income from the 2001 acquisitions of Draper Bancorp, Eldorado
Bancshares, and the Arizona branches of Pacific Century Bank. Other service
charges and fees include revenues from the above acquisitions and increased
investment department fees. The third quarter of 2001 includes a gain of $20.6
million from a transaction involving the Company's investment in Concord EFS,
Inc., and a gain of $3.3 million from the sale of other equity securities which
are included in investment securities gains. The increase in loan sales and
servicing income for the third quarter of 2001 compared to the third quarter of
2000 is primarily due to increases in loans sold into securitization facilities
and to a gain from the sale of nonconforming first mortgage residential real
estate loans consummated during the quarter. The decrease in other noninterest
income is mainly due to venture fund nonmarketable equity security impairment
write-downs of $14.0 million for the quarter and derivative gains of $4.2
million related to Concord EFS, Inc. The effect of the venture fund write-downs
on income before income taxes was $11.5 million since the funds are not wholly
owned and part of the losses are reflected in the $3.3 million loss allocable to
minority interests.

Noninterest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 was $314.0
million, an increase of 52.0% from the $206.5 million for same period in 2000,
excluding the $96.9 million impairment loss on the First Security Corporation
common stock.

Comparing the segments of noninterest income for the first nine months of 2001
with the first nine months of 2000, excluding the $96.9 million impairment loss,
service charges on deposit accounts increased 28.4%, other service charges,
commissions and fees increased 31.3%, investment securities gains (losses), net
increased 87.9%, underwriting and trading income increased 65.5%, loan sales and
servicing income increased 89.6%, and other income increased 90.5%. The
year-to-date increases in service charges on deposit accounts and other service
charges and fees are attributable to the same factors previously discussed for
the quarterly increases. The increased investment securities gains result mainly
from the third quarter gains discussed previously net of $9.4 million of venture
fund marketable equity security impairment losses

                                       20


ZIONS BANCORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

recognized during the first quarter of 2001. Security gains for the first nine
months of 2000 included $5.6 million recognized from the sale of First Security
Corporation common stock. The increased loan sales and servicing income relate
mainly to increased sales volumes in revolving securitizations and servicing fee
income from a sale of SBA loans consummated during the third quarter of 2000.
The year-to-date increase in other income is mainly attributable to a $50.2
million Star System (Concord EFS, Inc) nonmarketable security gain recognized in
the first quarter of 2001 offset in part by the $14.0 million third quarter of
2001 valuation adjustment write-downs in nonmarketable venture capital
investments.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE

Noninterest expense for the third quarter of 2001 was $223.2 million, an
increase of 28.3% over $173.9 million for the third quarter of 2000 and an
increase of 8.4% over the $205.9 million for the second quarter of 2001.
Comparing significant changes in noninterest expense segments for the third
quarter of 2001 with the third quarter of 2000, salaries and employee benefits
increased 31.7%, occupancy increased 26.1%, legal and professional fees
increased 103.9%, merger related expense increased 187.2%, amortization of
goodwill and amortization of core deposit and other intangibles increased 44.8%,
and the total of all other noninterest expenses increased 10.7%.

Noninterest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 was $632.5
million compared to $541.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000,
for an increase of 16.8%. Comparing significant changes in noninterest expense
segments for the first nine months of 2001 with the comparable period in 2000,
salaries and employee benefits increased 29.1%, occupancy increased 22.6%, legal
and professional fees increased 55.1%, merger-related expense decreased 82.8%,
amortization of goodwill and amortization of core deposit and other intangibles
increased 25.7%, other noninterest expense increased 20.4%, and the total of all
other noninterest expenses increased 15.4%.

Noninterest expenses for the third quarter of 2001 and year-to-date are not
directly comparable to the same periods of 2000 because of the acquisitions of
Draper Bancorp, Eldorado Bancshares, the Arizona branches of Pacific Century
Bank, and the companies merged into Lexign, Inc. during 2001. Salaries and
benefits for the third quarter of 2001 include approximately $3.8 million of
severance related to Digital Signature Trust and California Bank & Trust
restructuring activities. The increase in legal and professional fees for the
quarter and year-to-date is partly attributable to legal and accounting fees of
approximately $2 million related to the Concord EFS, Inc. transaction and
increased legal and consulting fees related to various e-commerce initiatives.
The increased merger fees for the quarter are mainly related to the acquisition
of the companies merged into Lexign, Inc. and conversion expenses related to the
acquisition of Eldorado Bancshares. Merger-related expense for 2000 included
approximately $44.2 million mainly related to a terminated merger agreement with
First Security Corporation and the related disengagement process.

At September 30, 2001, the Company had 7,697 full-time equivalent employees, 408
offices, and 539 ATMs, compared to 6,881 full-time equivalent employees, 375
offices, and 502 ATMs at September 30, 2000.

INCOME TAXES

The Company's income taxes increased 15.6% to $41.2 million for the third
quarter of 2001 compared to $35.6 million for the third quarter of 2000. The
Company's income taxes were $121.3 million for the first nine months of 2001,
compared to $45.1 million for the first nine months of 2000. The Company's
effective income tax rate was 37.2% for the third quarter of 2001, compared to
35.2% for the third quarter of 2000. The increased effective rate is mainly due
to a lower percentage of nontaxable income for the third quarter of 2001. The
effective income tax rate for the first nine months of 2001 was 36.4% compared
to 31.8% for the first nine months of 2000. The lower rate in 2000 was due to
the effect of merger costs and the impairment loss on First Security Corporation
common stock, which were considered unusual, infrequently occurring items.

LOANS

The Company has structured its organization to separate the lending function
from the credit administration function to strengthen the control and
independent evaluation of credit activities. 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.

On September 30, 2001, long-term conforming first mortgage real estate loans
serviced for others totaled $305 million, and consumer and other loan
securitizations, which include loans sold under revolving securitization
structures, totaled $2,256 million. During the first nine months of 2001, the
Company sold $399 million of loans classified in held for sale, and securitized
and sold SBA loans, home equity credit line loans, credit card receivables,
automobile loans and nonconforming residential real estate loans totaling $988
million. During the first nine months of 2001, total loans sold were $1,387
million compared to total loans sold of $1,308 million during the first nine
months of 2000.

RISK ELEMENTS

The Company's nonperforming assets, which include nonaccruing loans,
restructured loans, other real estate owned and other nonperforming assets, were
$109 million on September 30, 2001, up from $71 million on December 31, 2000,
and up from $76 million on September 30, 2000. Such nonperforming assets as a
percentage of net loans and leases, other real estate owned and other
nonperforming assets were .65%, .49% and .54% on September 30, 2001, December
31, 2000, and September 30, 2000, respectively.

Accruing loans past due 90 days or more totaled $47 million on September 30,
2001, up from $27 million on December 31, 2000, and $23 million on September 30,
2000. These loans equaled 0.28% of net loans and leases on September 30, 2001,
0.19% on December 31, 2000, and 0.16% on September 30, 2000.

No loans to borrowers were considered potential problem loans at September 30,
2001, December 31, 2000 or September 30, 2000. 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 $66 million on September 30, 2001, as compared to
$46 million on December 31, 2000, and $57 million on September 30, 2000. 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
September 30, 2001, December 31, 2000, and September 30, 2000, is a required
allowance of $8 million, $10 million and $11 million, respectively, on $24
million, $16 million and $24 million, respectively, of the recorded investment
in impaired loans.

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

The Company's allowance for loan losses was 1.47% of net loans and leases on
September 30, 2001, compared to 1.36% on December 31, 2000 and 1.42% on
September 30, 2000. Net charge-offs during the third quarter of 2001 were $5
million, or annualized 0.13% of average net loans and leases, compared to net
charge-offs of $7 million for the third quarter of 2000. Net charge-offs for the
first nine months of 2001 were $21 million, or annualized 0.17% of average net
loans and leases, compared to $26 million or 0.25% annualized of average net
loans and leases for the first nine months of 2000.

The allowance, as a percentage of nonaccrual loans and restructured loans, was
262.9% on September 30, 2001, compared to 320.7% on December 31, 2000 and 290.9%
on September 30, 2000. The allowance, as a percentage of nonaccrual loans and
accruing loans past due 90 days or more was 177.2% on September 30, 2001,
compared to 229.3% on December 31, 2000 and 220.6% on September 30, 2000.

On September 30, 2001, December 31, 2000, and September 30, 2000, the allowance
for loan losses includes an allocation of $42 million, $22 million, and $28
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 September 30, 2001, December 31, 2000, and September 30,
2000 totaled $7,615 million, $7,254 million, and $6,895 million, respectively.

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
reviews, 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.

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 Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") System is a major source of liquidity for
each of the Company's subsidiary banks. Zions First National Bank and The
Commerce Bank of Washington are members of the FHLB of Seattle. California Bank
& Trust, Nevada State Bank, and National Bank of Arizona are members of the FHLB
of San Francisco. Vectra Bank Colorado is a member of the FHLB of Topeka. The
FHLB allows member banks to borrow against their eligible loans to satisfy
liquidity requirements.

Zions First National Bank provides a liquidity facility to Lockhart Funding LLC
(Lockhart), a Qualified Special Purpose Vehicle. Lockhart purchases U.S.
Government and AAA rated securities. These assets are funded through the
issuance of commercial paper. During July 2001, the size of this liquidity
facility was increased from $2.0 billion to $5.1 billion.

The Company's core deposits, consisting of demand, savings and money market
deposits and time deposits under $100,000, constituted 89.8% of total deposits
on September 30, 2001, as compared to 89.5% on December 31, 2000 and 88.4% on
September 30, 2000.

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.

During the second quarter of 2001, the Company issued $200 million of
subordinated debt through a newly formed subsidiary, Zions Financial Corp. The
debt is unconditionally guaranteed by Zions Bancorporation and matures in May
2011. The notes bear interest at 6.95% per annum through May 14, 2006 and at
one-month LIBOR plus 2.86% thereafter until maturity. The notes are redeemable
in whole or in part at the option of Zions Financial Corp. on or after May 15,
2006 at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes
being redeemed. On October 25, 2001, Zions Bancorporation issued an additional
$200 million of subordinated debt. The debt matures on October 15, 2001 and
bears interest at 6.50% per annum through October 14, 2006 and at one-month
LIBOR plus 3.01% thereafter until maturity. The notes are redeemable in whole or
in part at the option of Zions Bancorporation on or after October 15, 2006 at a
redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes being
redeemed.

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 collection of proportionate shares of current
income taxes, management and other fees from subsidiaries, and unaffiliated bank
lines and debt issuance.

On July 30, 2001, the Company's board of directors authorized a repurchase of up
to $50 million of the Company's common stock. During the third quarter of 2001,
the Company repurchased approximately 525 thousand common shares at a cost of
$29.0 million.

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.

The Company, through the management of maturities and repricing of its assets
and liabilities and the use of 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. The
Company, however, is unable to economically hedge the prime/91-day T-bill spread
risk.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND DIVIDENDS

Total shareholders' equity on September 30, 2001 was $2,235 million, an increase
of 25.6% over the $1,779 million on December 31, 2000, and an increase of 30.2%
over the $1,716 million on September 30, 2000. The increase in total
shareholders' equity during 2001 includes $232 million related to acquisitions
and $78 million of other comprehensive income. The ratio of average equity to
average assets for the first nine months of 2001 was 8.91% as compared to 7.64%
for the same period in 2000. On September 30, 2001, the Company's total
risk-based capital ratio was 11.12%, as compared to 10.83% on December 31, 2000
and 10.85% on September 30, 2000. On September 30, 2001, the Company's Tier I
risk-based capital ratio was 8.15%, as compared to 8.53% on December 31, 2000
and 8.35% on September 30, 2000. The Company's leverage ratio on September 30,
2001 was 6.48%, as compared to 6.38% on December 31, 2000 and 6.16% on September
30, 2000.

Dividends declared of $.20 per common share for the third quarter of 2001 were
unchanged from the dividends declared for the second quarter of 2001 and the
third quarter of 2000. The common cash dividend payout of net income for the
third quarter of 2001 was 25.36% compared to 25.17% for the second quarter of
2001 and 26.90% for the third quarter of 2000. The nine-month year-to-date
common cash dividend payout of net income was 26.26% for 2001 compared to 38.16%
for 2000.
