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 $16.6 billion, loans of $10.6 billion, deposits of $13.3 billion
and shareholders' equity of $1.0 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.
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 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
2
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.
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.
3
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.
4
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.

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.

31, 1998, at the time of filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission,
shall modify and supersede all documents filed prior to January 1, 1999 pursuant
to Sections 13, 14 and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 for purposes
of an offers or sales of any securities after the date of such filing pursuant
to any Registration Statement or Prospectus filed pursuant to the Securities Act
of 1933 which incorporates by reference such Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of
1933 may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons of the
Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant
has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act
of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer, or controlling
person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit, or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer, or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will
governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
