As a result of the foregoing, the Company's 1996, 1997, and 1998 consolidated financial statements have been restated from amounts previously reported. For purposes of this Form 10-K/A, and in accordance with Rule 12b-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, Zions Bancorporation has amended and restated in its entirety each item of the 1998 Form 10-K which has been affected by the Restatement. In order to preserve the nature and character of the disclosures set forth in such items as originally filed, no attempt has been made in this Form 10-K/A to modify or update such disclosures except as required to reflect the effects of the Restatement. BUSINESS DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS Zions Bancorporation is a multibank holding company organized under the laws of Utah in 1955, and registered under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended. Zions Bancorporation and Subsidiaries (the Company) owns and operates six commercial banks with a total of 333 offices. The Company provides a full range of banking and related services through its banking and other subsidiaries, primarily in Utah, Idaho, California, Colorado, Arizona, Nevada and Washington. On December 31, 1998 the Company had total assets of approximately $17.0 billion, loans of $10.6 billion, deposits of $13.3 billion and shareholders' equity of $1.4 billion. Active full-time equivalent employees totaled 6,793 at year-end 1998. For further information about the Company's industry segments see the Business Segment Results section of the 1998 Annual Report to Shareholders. GROWTH In 1998, the Company experienced unprecedented merger activity with the completion of 12 bank acquisitions in 3 states. The most significant acquisition during the year was the purchase of The Sumitomo Bank of California with total assets of approximately $4.5 billion. The Sumitomo Bank of California and First Pacific National Bank, also acquired during 1998, were merged with the Company's Grossmont Bank subsidiary which was renamed California Bank & Trust. The resulting bank is the sixth largest commercial banking organization in California with approximately $6 billion in total assets and 71 offices throughout the state. The Company also significantly expanded its operations in Colorado building on the acquisition of Aspen Bancshares in 1997. Acquisitions in Colorado during 1998 included Vectra Banking Corporation located in Denver and eight small banks which expanded the Company's operations into the Colorado Springs area, Steamboat Springs and the San Luis Valley in Southern Colorado. 3 4 Another acquisition completed during 1998 was The Commerce Bank of Washington with total assets of approximately $300 million. The Commerce Bank of Washington is based in Seattle and focuses on serving the needs of small and medium-sized businesses in the Puget Sound area. For further information about merger activities during the year see the 1998 Annual Report to Shareholders. PRODUCTS AND SERVICES The Company focuses on maintaining community-minded banking by strengthening its core business lines of retail banking, small and medium-sized business lending, residential mortgage and investment activities. The banks provide a wide variety of commercial and retail banking and mortgage-lending financial services. Commercial loans, lease financing, cash management, lockbox, customized draft processing, and other special financial services are provided for business and other commercial banking customers. A wide range of personal banking services are provided to individuals, including bankcard, student and other installment loans and home equity lines of credit, checking accounts, savings accounts, time certificates of various types and maturities, trust services, safe deposit facilities, direct deposit and 24 hour ATM access. Zions First National Bank also provides services to key segments through its Women's Financial, Private Banking and Executive Banking Groups. In addition to these core businesses, the Company has built specialized lines of business in capital markets and public finance. The Company is the only primary dealer in U.S. Treasury securities headquartered west of the Mississippi River. It has pioneered the online trading of government securities through its websites, which display live, executable quotes to financial institutions and money managers nationwide. The Company's combined public finance operations constitute one of the largest municipal finance advisory firms in the country and ranked ninth in the Securities Data Corporation's listing of the nation's top 100 municipal advisors. The Company is also a leader in U.S. Small Business Administration ("SBA") lending. Through Zions Small Business Finance division, the Company provides SBA 7(a) loans to small businesses throughout the United States. The Company's SBA 504 group works with Certified Development Companies and correspondent banks to provide the nation's largest source of secondary market financing for this loan program. The Company also owns nearly a 20 percent equity interest in the Federal Agricultural Mortgage Corporation ("Farmer Mac") and originates and sells qualified loans to Farmer Mac through its cash window program. The Company is developing a reputation as one of the industry's real innovators in providing customer solutions in the new world of electronic commerce. Digital Signature Trust Company ("DST"), a subsidiary of Zions First National Bank, became the first banking organization in the nation to be authorized by federal regulators to serve as a "certification authority," issuing digital certificates used to establish with certainty the identity and credentials of parties to transactions over networks such as the Internet. The Company has also developed an Internet presence for conducting retail banking business, including a Web-based bill payment system. The Company's banking subsidiaries will also introduce additional on-line capabilities over the next year. 4 5 OTHER NONBANKING SUBSIDIARIES The Company conducts various other bank-related business activities through subsidiaries of Zions First National Bank and the Parent. Zions Credit Corporation, a subsidiary of Zions First National Bank, engages in lease origination and servicing operations primarily in Utah, Nevada, and Arizona. Zions Investment Securities, Inc., also a subsidiary of the Bank, provides discount investment brokerage services on a nonadvisory basis to both commercial and consumer customers. Personal investment officers employed by this discount brokerage subsidiary provide customers with a wide range of investment products, including municipal bond, mutual funds and tax-deferred annuities. Zions First National Bank's Wasatch Venture Corporation provides early-stage capital, primarily for technology companies located in the West. Zions Life Insurance Company underwrites, as reinsurer, credit-related life and disability insurance. Zions Insurance Agency, Inc. operates an insurance brokerage business, which administers various credit-related insurance programs in the Company's subsidiaries and sells general lines of insurance. Zions Management Services Company provides administrative, data processing, and other services to other subsidiaries of the Company. 5 6 COMPETITION Zions Bancorporation and its subsidiaries operate in a highly competitive environment due to the diverse financial services and products they offer. Competitors include not only other banks, thrift institutions, credit unions, and mutual funds, but also, insurance companies, finance companies, brokerage firms, investment banking companies, and a variety of other financial services and advisory companies. Many of these competitors are not subject to the same regulatory restrictions as the Company. Most of these unregulated competitors compete across geographic boundaries and provide customers increasing access to meaningful alternatives to banking services in many significant products. These competitive trends are likely to continue. SUPERVISION AND REGULATION Zion Bancorporation is a bank holding company within the meaning of the Bank Holding Company Act (the "Act") and is registered as such with the Federal Reserve Board. The Company is required to file reports of its operations with the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and is subject to examination by it. Under the Act, the Company is restricted as to the activities in which it may engage and the nature of any company which it controls or holds more than 5% of the voting stock. Generally, allowable activities are those which are determined by the Federal Reserve Board to be closely related to banking and a proper incident thereto. Additionally under the Act, prior approval by the Board of Governors is required for a bank holding company to acquire substantially all the assets of any domestic bank or savings association or the ownership or control of more than 5% of its voting shares. Under the Riegle-Neal Interstate Branching and Efficiency Act of 1994, bank holding companies which are adequately capitalized and managed are permitted to acquire control of a bank located outside the bank holding company's home state subject to certain limitations. The merger of commonly owned banks in different states is also permitted except in states that have passed legislation to prohibit such mergers. The statute also permits banks to establish branches outside their home state in states that pass legislation to permit branch banking. The Federal Reserve Board has established risk-based capital guidelines for bank holding companies. The Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and the Federal Reserve Board have also issued regulations establishing capital requirements for banks under federal law. Failure to meet capital requirements could subject the Company and its subsidiary banks to a variety of restrictions and enforcement remedies. See Note 17 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 1998 Annual Report to Shareholders for information regarding risk-based capital requirements. The Company's banking subsidiaries are also subject to various requirements and restrictions in the laws of the U.S. and the states in which the banks operate. These include restrictions on the amount of loans to a borrower and its affiliates, the nature and amount of their investments, their ability to act as an underwriter of securities, the opening of branches and the acquisition of other banks or savings associations. The subsidiary banks are under the supervision of, and are subject to periodic examination by, the OCC or the respective state banking departments, and are subject to the rules and regulations of the OCC, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the FDIC. They are also subject to certain laws of each state in which such banks are located. 6 7 Dividends payable by the subsidiary banks to Zions Bancorporation are subject to various legal and regulatory restrictions. These restrictions and the amount available for the payment of dividends at year-end are summarized in Note 17 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 1998 Annual Report to Shareholders. The Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989 ("FIRREA") provides that a holding company's controlled insured depository institutions are liable for any loss incurred by the FDIC in connection with the default of any FDIC-assisted transaction involving an affiliated insured bank or savings association. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 ("FDICIA") prescribes standards for safety and soundness of insured banks. These standards relate to internal controls, information systems, internal audit systems, loan documentation, credit underwriting, interest rate exposure, asset growth, compensation, as well as other operational and management standards deemed appropriate by the agencies. The Community Reinvestment Act ("CRA") requires banks to help serve the credit needs in their communities, including credit to low and moderate income individuals and geographies. Should the Company or its subsidiaries fail to adequately serve the community, there are penalties which might be imposed including denials of applications to expand branches, relocate, add subsidiaries and affiliates and merge with or purchase other financial institutions. Regulators and Congress continue to enact rules, laws, and policies to regulate the industry and protect consumers. The nature of these regulations and the effect of such policies on future business and earnings of the Company cannot be predicted. GOVERNMENT MONETARY POLICIES The earnings and business of the Company are affected not only by general economic conditions, but also by fiscal and other policies adopted by various governmental authorities. The Company is particularly affected by the policies of the Federal Reserve Board which affects the national supply of bank credit. The instruments of monetary policy available to the Federal Reserve Board include open-market operations in United States government securities; manipulation of the discount rates of member bank borrowings; imposing or changing reserve requirements against member bank deposits; and imposing or changing reserve requirements against certain borrowings by banks and their affiliates. These methods are used in varying combinations to influence the overall growth of bank loans, investments and deposits, and the interest rates charged on loans or paid for deposits. In view of the changing conditions in the economy and the effect of the credit policies of monetary authorities, it is difficult to predict future changes in loan demand, deposit levels and interest rates, or their effect on the business and earnings of the Company. Federal Reserve monetary policies have had a significant effect on the operating results of commercial banks in the past and are expected to continue to do so in the future. 7 8 PROPERTIES Zions First National Bank operates 132 branches, of which 67 are owned by the Company and 65 are on leased premises. For Vectra Bank Colorado, 32 of 53 branches are owned and the remaining 21 branches are on leased premises. California Bank & Trust owns 22 of their 71 branches and leases the remaining 49 branch premises. Nevada State Bank operates 43 branches, of which 13 are owned and 30 are on leased premises. In Arizona, 13 of 33 branches are owned and the remaining 20 branches are on leased premises. In Washington, The Commerce Bank of Washington operates 1 branch on leased premises. The annual rentals under long-term leases for such banking premises are determined under various formulas and include as various factors, operating costs, maintenance and taxes. The Company's subsidiaries conducting lease financing, insurance, and discount brokerage activities operate from leased premises. For information regarding rental payments, see Note 12 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the 1998 Annual Report to Shareholders.
