NOTES TO QUARTERLY CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
West One Bancorp and Subsidiaries
                                                          
	These statements are unaudited financial statements and should be read 
in conjunction with the 1993 Annual Report of West One Bancorp and 
Subsidiaries (West One).  All adjustments (consisting only of normal 
recurring accruals and the acquisitions as discussed below) which are, in 
the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the consolidated 
financial position and results of operations have been made in the 
accompanying financial statements. 

RECLASSIFICATION   

	Certain reclassifications of 1993 amounts were made in order to 
conform to the 1994 presentation, none of which affect previously reported 
net income.

ACQUISITIONS   

	On September 2, 1994, West One Bancorp acquired all the outstanding 
shares of Valley Commercial Bank, a two-branch $64 million bank 
headquartered in Clarkston, WA, in exchange for 404,523 shares of West One 
Bancorp common stock.  The transaction was accounted for as a pooling of 
interests.  Since Valley Commercial Bank's results of operations and 
financial position are immaterial to West One's results of operations and 
financial position, historic data has not been restated.

	On April 15, 1994, West One Bancorp acquired ten Far West Federal 
Savings Bank branches in Oregon with deposits of $173 million from the 
Resolution Trust Corporation.  The transaction was accounted for as a 
purchase.

	On January 21, 1994, Idaho State Bank with assets of $50 million was 
acquired in exchange for 133,332 shares of West One Bancorp common stock.  
The transaction was accounted for as a pooling of interests.  Because Idaho 
State Bank's results of operations and financial position are immaterial to 
West One's results of operations and financial position, historic data has 
not been restated.

	On May 28, 1993, West One Bancorp acquired all outstanding common 
stock of Ben Franklin National Bank in exchange for 206,254 shares of West 
One Bancorp common stock.  The combination was accounted for as a pooling of 
interests.  Since Ben Franklin National Bank's results of operations and 
financial position is immaterial to West One's results of operations and 
financial position, historic financial data was not restated.  

OTHER EVENTS   

	On May 9, 1994, West One Bancorp announced the signing of a definitive 
agreement under which West One Bancorp will acquire National Security Bank 
Holding Company and its subsidiary, National Security Bank, a five-branch, 
$133 million bank located in Newport, Oregon.  The agreement calls for an 
exchange of West One Bancorp common stock for all the outstanding shares of 
National Security Bank Holding Company common stock.  The number of shares 
issued is dependent upon the purchase price and a calculated average market 
price for West One Bancorp common stock.  The transaction is expected to be 
completed in mid-November 1994.


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

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY

West One Bancorp reported net income of $27.1 million for the third quarter of 
1994, the highest quarterly earnings in the Corporation's history and a 24% 
increase from the $21.8 million earned in the third quarter of 1993. Net income 
per share was $.72 for the current quarter compared to $.62 for the same 
quarter last year.  Improved earnings were attributable to loan growth and a 
wider net interest margin.  West One achieved a return on average assets of 
1.32% and a return on average shareholders' equity of 16.04% in the third 
quarter of 1994 compared to 1.16% and 16.10%, respectively, for the third 
quarter of 1993.

The regional economy in West One's service area of Idaho, Washington, Oregon 
and Utah continued to expand and outperform the national economy during the 
third quarter of 1994.  Employment increases were recorded in all states except 
Washington.  Although declines in government and construction reduced the total 
job count in Washington, the important manufacturing sector indicated renewed 
strength as employment increased during the third quarter following several 
quarters of decline attributable to the aerospace sector.  The labor supply 
remained exceptionally constricted in Utah and Idaho as new job creation ranked 
these two states first and third, nationally, during the third quarter.  
Residential construction activity remained vigorous in all four states, 
matching second quarter levels but slightly below the peak recorded during the 
first quarter of 1994.  Oregon's important high technology sector is booming, 
with significant investments in new facilities and plant expansions announced 
in recent months.  Projections indicate that Oregon's high technology sector 
will replace lumber and wood products as the state's largest employment sector 
by 1996.

NET INTEREST INCOME AND MARGIN

Taxable equivalent net interest income was $92.6 million in the third quarter 
of 1994, up 11% from the same period last year.  Earning assets averaged $7.4 
billion during the quarter, a 10% increase from the same quarter in 1993.  
Average loans increased 13% over the same period as strong growth was recorded 
in real estate, consumer, commercial and agricultural loans across all four 
states.  Loans increased to 77.5% of earning assets in the current quarter 
compared to 75.5% in the third quarter of 1993.  Loan growth and an improved 
mix of earning assets contributed to a net interest margin of 4.96% in the 
third quarter of 1994, up from 4.92% in the same quarter last year.  Loans 
increased at an annualized rate of 14% from the second to third quarters of 
1994 due to double digit increases in real estate, consumer, commercial and 
agricultural loans.  Net interest margin was stable despite increases in 
national money market rates.  Taxable equivalent net interest income for the 
first nine months of 1994 totaled $268.1 million, an increase of 13% from the 
same period in 1993, as net interest margin increased 13 basis points to 4.98% 
and earning assets grew 10%.

ASSET QUALITY

Excellent asset quality favorably impacted third quarter results.  Net charge-
offs declined to .18% of average loans compared to .20% in the corresponding 
quarter last year. West One provided $3.0 million for credit losses in the 
third quarter of 1994 compared to $3.9 million for the same quarter of 1993.  
Nonperforming assets declined 6% from a year ago to $26.4 million at September 
30, 1994, representing .32% of total assets and .45% of loans and other real 
estate owned.  Credit loss allowance coverage of nonperforming loans increased 
to 407% at September 30, 1994, up from 308% a year ago.  The allowance for 
credit losses was $79.4 million at September 30, 1994, up 9% from $73.1 million 
a year ago.  For the nine months ended September 30, 1994, West One provided 
$10.8 million for credit losses compared to $10.4 million for the first nine 
months of 1993.

NONINTEREST INCOME AND EXPENSE

Noninterest income was $28.4 million in the third quarter of 1994, up 7% from 
the third quarter of 1993.  Other service charges, fees and commissions 
increased due to real estate servicing fees and bankcard income.  Other income 
declined as higher mortgage rates curtailed real estate loan origination 
activity.  Noninterest income for the nine months ended September 30, 1994 
totaled $84.8 million and exceeded the prior year by 13%.  Year-to-date results 
included $1.7 million of interest on a Federal income tax settlement reported 
during the second quarter of 1994.

Noninterest expense increased 8% to $74.5 million in the third quarter of 1994 
and 9% to $217.8 million in the first nine months of 1994 compared to the 
corresponding periods of 1993.  The increases were attributable to acquisitions 
and internal growth.  Excluding the impact of 1994 acquisitions, noninterest 
expense increased 5% in the third quarter of 1994.

CAPITAL ADEQUACY

Shareholders' equity was $684 million at September 30, 1994, a 24% increase 
from a year ago and represented 8.24% of assets compared to 7.43% last year.  
Capital adequacy levels established by the Federal Reserve Board require 
minimum leverage, Tier 1 and total capital ratios of 3%, 4% and 8%, 
respectively.  In addition, regulators deem a financial institution well-
capitalized, the highest rating available, when leverage, Tier 1 and total 
capital ratios total at least 5%, 6% and 10%, respectively.  West One's 
leverage, Tier 1 and total capital ratios were 7.98%, 10.05% and 12.26%, 
respectively, at September 30, 1994 compared to 6.90%, 8.69% and 11.08%, 
respectively, at September 30, 1993.
