First State Bancorporation and Subsidiary
Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements
(unaudited)

1. Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements

The accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements are unaudited and
include our accounts and those of our subsidiary, First State Bank of Taos (the
"Bank") (100% owned). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions
have been eliminated. Information contained in our consolidated condensed
financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with our
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001.

The consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
for interim financial information and instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly,
they do not include all of the information and notes required by accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete
financial statements. In our opinion, all adjustments (consisting only of
normally recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been included. Operating results for the three and six month periods ended June
30, 2002, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for
the year ending December 31, 2002.

2. Earnings per Common Share

Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing income available to common
stockholders (the numerator) by the weighted-average number of common shares
outstanding during the period (the denominator). Diluted earnings per share are
calculated by increasing the basic earnings per share denominator by the number
of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive
potential common shares for options had been issued.

The following is a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of basic
and diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30:

3. Treasury Stock

Our Board of Directors has authorized our management to purchase up to 525,000
shares of our common stock. As of June 30, 2002, management has purchased
354,050 shares including 4,500 shares totaling $93,967 during the first six
months of 2002. Management intends to purchase additional shares, the amount of
which will be determined by cash available for dividends from the Bank.

4. New Accounting Pronouncements

We adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 ("SFAS No. 142"),
"Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets", as of January 1, 2002, and no longer
amortize goodwill. As of the date of adoption, we had unamortized goodwill in
the amount of $360,852, which was subject to the transition provisions of SFAS
No. 142. We have determined there is no transitional impairment loss at January
1, 2002. There was no amortization expense for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2002, whereas this expense amounted to $26,052 for the quarter ended
June 30, 2001, and $52,103 for the six months ended June 30, 2001. Our reported
net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001, adjusted for the
effects of goodwill amortization, would have been $1,986,328 compared to
$2,244,086 and $3,947,645 compared to $4,330,885 for the three and six months
ended June 30, 2002. Likewise, our basic and diluted earnings per share for the
three months ended June 30, 2001 adjusted for excluding the effects of goodwill
amortization would have been $0.41 and $0.39, respectively, compared to $0.46
and $0.44 for the three months ended June 30, 2002, respectively. Our basic and
diluted earnings per share for the six months ended June 30, 2001 adjusted for
excluding the effects of goodwill amortization would have been $0.81 and $0.78,
respectively, compared to $0.89 and $0.85 for the six months ended June 30,
2002, respectively.

In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 144,
"Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," which
addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of
long-lived assets. SFAS No. 144 supersedes SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of,"
but retains many of the fundamental provisions of SFAS No. 121. SFAS No. 144
also supersedes APB Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the Results of Operations,
Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary,
Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions." SFAS No. 144
retains the requirement in Opinion No. 30 to report separately discontinued
operations and extends that reporting to a component of an entity that either
has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale. SFAS No. 144 is
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001 and interim periods
within those fiscal years. The adoption of SFAS No. 144 did not have an impact
on our consolidated financial statements.

5. June 2002 Offering of Trust Preferred Securities

In June 2002, we formed First State NM Statutory Trust II for the purpose of
issuing trust-preferred securities in a pooled transaction to unrelated
investors. The trust preferred transaction closed on June 26, 2002. First State
NM Statutory Trust II used the gross proceeds from the sale of trust-preferred
securities to purchase $25,774,000 of Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest
Debentures issued by us, which are included in long-term debt in the
accompanying consolidated condensed balance sheet at June 30, 2002. The
debentures have a final maturity of 30 years and bear interest at an annual rate
equal to the three-month London Interbank Offered Rate plus 3.45%, payable at
three-month intervals beginning September 26, 2002. The annual rate of interest
on the debentures is equal to 5.34% at June 30, 2002. The annual rate is
adjusted at each payment date beginning with the first interest payment date of
September 26, 2002. Prior to June 26, 2007, the annual rate will not exceed
11.95%. The debentures are callable at par beginning June 26, 2007. So long as
there are no events of default, we may defer payments of interest for up to
twenty consecutive interest payment periods. However, if we defer payments of
interest, we will be prohibited from paying any dividends on any class of
capital stock for as long as the trust preferred interest payments remain
deferred.

6. Pending Acquisition of First Community Industrial Bank

On May 22, 2002, we entered into an agreement to acquire First Community
Industrial Bank, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Washington Mutual, Inc.
First Community is a Colorado-chartered industrial bank headquartered in Denver,
Colorado. It operates six branches in the Colorado front-range market and three
branches in the Salt Lake City and Ogden, Utah metropolitan areas.

-7-




Under the terms of the merger agreement, First Community will merge with and
into the Bank in a taxable transaction. Prior to closing, First Community will
pay a dividend of approximately $37.5 million to its parent. At closing, we will
pay to Washington Mutual, Inc. approximately $67 million, plus the amount if any
by which the aggregate pre-closing dividend is less than $37.5 million.

We expect to finance the merger with the proceeds of our June 26, 2002 offering
of approximately $25 million in trust preferred securities and with the proceeds
of our planned public offering of approximately 2.1 million shares of our common
stock.

The merger is subject to various conditions including the successful placement
of our common shares, receipt of regulatory approvals, and expiration of all
applicable statutory waiting period. As of July 26, 2002, all regulatory
approvals had been received. The statutory waiting period will conclude on
August 9, 2002.

We expect to close the merger by October 11, 2002, but the merger agreement
provides that upon our request and subject to certain conditions, closing may be
extended to November 12, 2002. However, our regulatory approval from the Federal
Reserve Bank of Kansas City requires us to close on or before October 25, 2002,
unless such period is extended by the Federal Reserve System.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations.

Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets

Our total assets increased by $55.0 million from $827.9 million as of December
31, 2001, to $882.9 million as of June 30, 2002. The increase was made up of a
$17.4 million increase in cash and cash equivalents, an $18.9 million decrease
in investment securities, and a $55.9 million increase in net loans. The
increase in cash and cash equivalents was a result of issuing approximately $25
million in Trust Preferred Securities, which were issued in anticipation of
completing the First Community Industrial Bank acquisition.

The following table presents the amounts of our loans, by category, at the dates
indicated.

Consolidated Results of Operations For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2002

Our net income for the three months ended June 30, 2002, was $2.24 million, an
increase of $284,000 or 14% from $1.96 million for the same period of 2001. The
increase in net income resulted from an increase in net interest income before
provision for loan losses of $1.2 million and an increase in non interest income
of $790,000, partially offset by an increase in non interest expenses of $1.5
million and income taxes of $292,000. Our annualized return on average assets
was 1.05% for the three months ended June 30, 2002, compared to 1.14% for the
same period of 2001.

Our net interest income before the provision for loan losses increased $1.2
million to $9.9 million for the second quarter of 2002 compared to $8.7 million
for the second quarter of 2001. This increase was composed of a $310,000
decrease in total interest income offset by a $1.5 million decrease in total
interest expense. The decrease in interest income was composed of an increase of
$3.0 million due to an increase in average interest earning assets of $138.3
million, offset by $3.3 million due to a 1.67% decrease in the yield on average
interest earning assets. The decrease in total interest expense was due to a
$763,000 increase resulting from a $110.9 million increase in average interest
bearing liabilities and a $2.2 million decrease due to a 1.65% decrease in the
cost of interest bearing liabilities.

Decreases in interest rate precipitated by the Federal Reserve Board's decreases
in the discount rate during 2001 have decreased the yield on interest earning
assets and have caused management to decrease rates paid on deposits. We believe
that the impact on the net interest margin of changes in interest rates will be
significantly determined by the competitive environment for deposits. We also
believe that additional decreases in rates would cause compression of our net
interest margin, while increases would cause an increase in our net interest
margin.

Our provision for loan losses was $519,000 for the second quarter of 2002,
compared to $627,000 for the second quarter of 2001. Net charge-offs for the
second quarter of 2002 were $147,000 compared to $346,000 for the second quarter
of 2001. The allowance for loan losses to total loans was 1.28% and the
allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans was 277% at June 30, 2002,
compared to allowance for loan losses to total loans of 1.37% and the allowance
for loan losses to non-performing loans of 266% at June 30, 2001. Total
non-performing assets to total assets were 0.41% at June 30, 2002, compared to
0.58% at June 30, 2001. We provide for loan losses based upon our judgments
concerning the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses considering such
factors as loan growth, delinquency trends, previous charge-off experience, and
local and national economic conditions.

Our total non interest income increased by $790,000 to $3.0 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2002, compared to $2.2 million for the same period
of 2001. The increase was primarily composed of a $150,000 increase in gains on
sales of mortgage loans, caused by greater new home construction and refinancing
resulting from the lower interest rate environment, a $302,000 increase in
credit and debit card transaction fees resulting from increased transaction
volume due to increased market share, a $118,000 increase in service charges on
deposits resulting from increased deposits, and a $151,000 increase in other
banking service fees primarily due to increased volume in ATM fees.

Our total non interest expenses increased by $1.5 million to $8.7 million for
the second quarter of 2002, compared to $7.2 million for the same period of
2001. This increase was due partially to increases in salaries and employee
benefits, occupancy expense, and credit and debit card interchange expense.
Salary and employee benefits expense increased $525,000 resulting from an
$110,000 increase in mortgage loan commissions, $75,000 from two new branches
(one opened during the second quarter of 2001 and one during the first quarter
of 2002), and from our overall growth and annual salary increases. Occupancy
expense increased $160,000, of which $20,000 resulted from opening of the two
new branches and $119,000 resulted from rent expense as a result of expansion of
our ATM network during the first quarter of 2002. Credit and debit card
interchange expense increased $159,000. Each of these items had corresponding
increases in non interest income.

Consolidated Results of Operations For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2002

Our net income for the six months ended June 30, 2002, was $4.3 million, an
increase of $435,000 or 11% from $3.9 million for the same period of 2001. The
increase in net income resulted from an increase in net interest income before
provision for loan losses of $2.4 million and an increase in non interest income
of $1.7 million, partially offset by an increase in non interest expenses of
$3.0 million and income taxes of $503,000. Our annualized return on average
assets was 1.04% for the six months ended June 30, 2002, compared to 1.18% for
the same period of 2001.

-9-



Our net interest income before the provision for loan losses increased $2.4
million to $19.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002 compared to
$17.0 million for the same period of 2001. This increase was composed of a
$784,000 decrease in total interest income and a $3.1 million decrease in total
interest expense. The decrease in interest income was composed of an increase of
$6.5 million due to increased average interest earning assets of $152.6 million
offset by $7.3 million due to a 1.97% decrease in the yield on average interest
earning assets. The decrease in total interest expense was due to a $2.0 million
increase resulting from a $123.7 million increase in average interest bearing
liabilities and a $5.1 million decrease due to a 1.85% decrease in the cost of
interest bearing liabilities.

Our provision for loan losses was $1.2 million for the first six months of 2002,
compared to $1.1 million for the first six months of 2001. Net charge-offs for
the six months ended June 30, 2002 were $645,000 compared to $700,000 for the
six months ended June 30, 2001. The allowance for loan losses to total loans was
1.28% and the allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans was 277% at June
30, 2002, compared to allowance for loan losses to total loans of 1.37% and the
allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans of 266% at June 30, 2001.
Total non-performing assets to total assets were 0.41% at June 30, 2002,
compared to 0.58% at June 30, 2001. We provide for loan losses based upon our
judgments concerning the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses considering
such factors as loan growth, delinquency trends, previous charge-off experience,
and local and national economic conditions.

Our total non interest income increased by $1.7 million to $5.9 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2002, compared to $4.2 million for the same period of
2001. For the first six months of 2002 compared to the first six months of 2001,
the gains on sales of mortgage loans increased $450,000 as a result of greater
new home construction and refinancing resulting from the lower interest rate
environment, credit and debit card transaction fees increased $557,000 resulting
from increased transaction volume due to increased market share, service charges
on deposit accounts increased $218,000 as a result of increased deposits, and
other banking service fees increased $281,000 primarily as a result of increased
volume of ATM fees.

Our total non interest expenses increased by $3.0 million to $17.0 million for
the six months ended June 30, 2002, compared to $14.0 million for the same
period of 2001. This increase was due partially to $1.3 million increase in
salary and employee benefit expense resulting from a $325,000 increase in
mortgage loan commissions, expenses of $154,000 from the opening of our two new
branches, and our overall growth and annual salary increases. Occupancy expense
grew $356,000, $52,000 related to the two new branches and $223,000 from rent
expense as a result of expansion of our ATM network during the first quarter of
2002. Credit and debit card interchange expense grew $270,000 as a result of
increased volume.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The following tables set forth the allowance for loan losses and non-performing
assets.

Non-accrual loans $ 2,503 $ 2,480 $2,518
-------------------------------------------------------------
Total non-performing loans $ 2,800 $ 2,483 $2,532

Potential problem loans $12,445 $13,331 $8,323
=============================================================
Total non-performing assets to total assets 0.41% 0.33% 0.58%



During the past twelve months, our potential problem loans have increased by
approximately $4.1 million. Included in that increase are four lending
relationships totaling $3.9 million with balances in excess of $300,000. These
loans are secured by first mortgages on various types of real estate collateral
with an estimated value of $7.1 million. We continually monitor these lending
relationships and we do not believe they currently pose a threat to the adequacy
of the allowance for loan losses.

Liquidity and Capital Expenditures

Our primary sources of funds are customer deposits, loan repayments, and
maturities of investment securities. We have additional sources of liquidity in
the form of borrowings. Borrowings include federal funds purchased, securities
sold under repurchase agreements, and borrowings from the Federal Home Loan
Bank.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

The following tables set forth, for the periods indicated, information with
respect to average balances of assets and liabilities, as well as the total
dollar amounts of interest income from interest-earning assets and interest
expense from interest-bearing liabilities, resultant yields or costs, net
interest income, net interest spread, net interest margin, and our ratio of
average interest-earning assets to average interest-bearing liabilities. No tax
equivalent adjustments were made and all average balances are daily average
balance. Non-accruing loans have been included in the table as loans carrying a
zero yield.

To effectively measure and manage interest rate risk, we use gap analysis and
simulation analysis to determine the impact on net interest income under various
interest rate scenarios, balance sheet trends, and strategies. From these
analyses, we quantify interest rate risk and we develop and implement
appropriate strategies. Additionally, we utilize duration and market value
sensitivity measures when these measures provide added value to the overall
interest rate risk management process. The overall interest rate risk position
and strategies are reviewed by management and the Bank's Board of Directors on
an ongoing basis.

Rising and falling interest rate environments can have various impacts on a
bank's net interest income, depending on the short-term interest rate gap that
the bank maintains, the relative changes in interest rates that occur when the
bank's various assets and liabilities reprice, unscheduled repayments of loans,
early withdrawals of deposits and other factors. As of June 30, 2002, our
cumulative interest rate gap for the period up to three months was a positive
$130.6 million and for the period up to one year was a positive $163.1 million.
Based solely on our interest rate gap of twelve months or less, our net income
could be unfavorably impacted by decreases in interest rates or favorably
impacted by increases in interest rates.

The following table sets forth the estimated maturity or repricing, and the
resulting interest rate gap of our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing
liabilities at June 30, 2002. The amounts are based upon regulatory reporting
formats and, therefore, may not be consistent with financial information
appearing elsewhere in this report that has been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The
amounts could be significantly affected by external factors such as changes in
prepayment assumptions, early withdrawals of deposits, and competition.

Item 5. Other Information

On August 8, 2002, we announced the sale of 2.1 million shares of our common
stock to an underwriting group. The shares are being offered to the public at
$22.50 per share. The underwriters have a 30-day option to purchase an
additional 315,000 shares of our common stock solely to cover over-allotments,
if any. We anticipate the public offering of the 2.1 million shares to close on
August 14, 2002. We intend to use all of the net proceeds of this offering along
with a portion of the net proceeds from our trust preferred offering to pay the
purchase price for the acquisition of First Community Industrial Bank. Pending
the use of the net proceeds for that purpose, we intend to invest the net
proceeds in short-term, interest-bearing investments.
