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. On January 6, 1998 the Company acquired Vectra Banking Corporation and its banking subsidiary Vectra Bank.

On October 1, 1998, the Company acquired The Sumitomo Bank of California in a transaction accounted for as a purchase. In a purchase transaction results of operations for the acquired entity are only included subsequent to the acquisition date. Therefore, financial information as of September 30, 1999 and for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 1999, can not be compared directly with the corresponding information for 1998. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year to end December 31, 1999. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in Zions Bancorporation's Annual Report to Shareholders on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998. Accounting Standards Not Adopted In September 1998, the FASB issued Statement No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. Statement No. 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. It requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure those instruments at fair value. The accounting for gains and losses of a derivative depends on the intended use of the derivative and the resulting designation. Under this statement, an entity that elects to apply hedge accounting is required to establish at the inception of the hedge the method it will use for assessing the effectiveness of the hedging derivative and the measurement approach for determining the ineffective aspect of the hedge. Those methods must be consistent with the entity's approach to managing risk. The original effective date of this statement, as amended by Statement No. 137, has been delayed and it is now effective for all fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2000, and should not be applied retroactively to financial statements of prior periods. The Company is currently studying the statement to determine its future effects. 8 ZIONS BANCORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Significant Transaction On June 6, 1999 the Company announced a definitive agreement to merge with First Security Corporation in a stock-for-stock transaction valued at approximately $5.9 billion. The new organization will be known as First Security Corporation and will be headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah. Immediately prior to the merger First Security will change its common stock in a reclassification, whereby First Security stockholders will receive 0.442 of a share of First Security common stock for each share of First Security held before the reclassification. As a result of the merger, Zions Bancorporation shareholders will receive one share of new First Security common stock in exchange for each share of Zions common stock. The transaction will be accounted for as a pooling-of-interests and is expected to close during the fourth quarter of 1999. The combined companies will have total assets of approximately $40 billion.

13 ZIONS BANCORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES OPERATING RESULTS Zions Bancorporation achieved record earnings for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1999. Consolidated net income for the third quarter of 1999 was $54.8 million or $0.69 per diluted share, an increase of 28.2% and 27.8%, respectively, over the $42.7 million or $0.54 earned in the third quarter of 1998. Consolidated net income for the third quarter of 1999 increased 3.8% and 4.5%, respectively, from $52.8 million or $0.66 per diluted share for the second quarter of 1999. The quarterly dividend per share remained the same as the second quarter of 1999 at $.29 per share. The dividend was up 107.1% from the $.14 per share dividend for the third quarter of 1998. As discussed in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, due to the acquisition of The Sumitomo Bank of California on October 1, 1998 in a transaction accounted for as a purchase, financial information for 1999 is not directly comparable to 1998. Consolidated net income was $156.5 million or $1.96 per diluted share for the first nine months of 1999, compared to the $114.7 million or $1.50 per diluted share for the first nine months of 1998, which constituted increases of 36.4% and 30.7% respectively. The annualized return on average assets for the third quarter and for the first nine months of 1999 was 1.17% and 1.16% compared to 1.37% and 1.29%, respectively, in 1998, resulting in an annualized return on average common shareholders' equity of 19.55% and 19.37% for the third quarter and for the first nine months of 1999, compared to 17.38% and 17.90% for the same periods of 1998. The Company's "efficiency ratio," or noninterest expenses as a percentage of total taxable-equivalent net revenues for the third quarter and for the first nine months of 1999 was 61.79% and 62.96%, respectively, compared to 61.80% and 63.95% for the same periods of 1998. The Company's third-quarter $12.1 million (28.2%) increase in earnings relative to the same period a year ago reflects a $45.6 million (34.9%) increase in net interest income, a $11.6 million (23.3%) increase in noninterest income, partially offset by a $1.5 million (60.0%) increase in the provision for loan losses, a $36.0 million (31.9%) increase in noninterest expenses and a $6.7 million (29.9%) increase in income tax expense. The Company's $41.7 million (36.4%) increase in net income for the nine-month period ended September 30, 1999 compared to the similar period in 1998, reflects a $148.7 million (40.3%) increase in net interest income, a $43.1 million (30.3%) increase in noninterest income, partially offset by a $2.5 million (27.3%) increase in the provision for loan losses, a $117.8 million (35.6%) increase in noninterest expenses and a $26.8 million (47.7%) increase in income tax expense. OPERATING CASH EARNINGS RESULTS The Company is also providing its earnings performance on an operating cash basis since it believes that its cash performance is a better reflection of its financial position and shareholder value creation as well as its ability to support growth, pay dividends, and repurchase stock than reported net income. Operating cash earnings are earnings before amortization of goodwill and core deposit intangible assets and merger expenses. 14 ZIONS BANCORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Operating cash earnings for the quarter were $59.0 million or $0.74 per diluted share, an increase of 25.6% and 25.4%, respectively, over the $46.9 million or $0.59 per diluted share earned in the third quarter of 1998. Operating cash earnings for the third quarter of 1999 increased 4.0% over the $56.7 million earned during the second quarter of 1999. Operating cash earnings per diluted share for the third quarter of 1999 increased 4.2% over the $.71 for the second quarter of 1999. Year-to-date operating cash earnings were $168.1 million or $2.10 per diluted share, an increase of 25.8% and 20.0%, respectively, over the $133.7 million or $1.75 per diluted share earned in the first nine months of 1998. The operating cash annualized return on average assets for the third quarter and for the first nine months of 1999 was 1.28% and 1.26% compared to 1.53% and 1.52%, respectively, in 1998. Operating cash annualized return on average common shareholders' equity was 27.34% and 27.54% for the third quarter and for the first nine months of 1999, compared to 23.08% and 26.06% for the same periods of 1998. The Company's cash efficiency ratio for the third quarter and for the first nine months of 1999 was 59.70% and 61.00%, respectively, compared to 58.82% and 59.27% for the same periods of 1998. NET INTEREST INCOME AND INTEREST RATE SPREADS Net interest income for the third quarter of 1999, adjusted to a fully taxable-equivalent basis, increased 35.2% to $179.7 million compared to $133.0 million for the third quarter of 1998 and increased 1.0% from $177.9 million for the second quarter of 1999. Net interest margin was 4.28% for the third quarter of 1999, compared to 4.73% for the third quarter of 1998 and 4.38% for the second quarter of 1999. Nine-month net interest income, on a fully taxable-equivalent basis, was $527.5 million in 1999, an increase of 40.5% compared to $375.4 million for the first nine months of 1998. Net interest margin for the first nine months of 1999 was 4.35%, compared to 4.62% for the first nine months of 1998. The yield on average earning assets decreased 61 basis points during the third quarter of 1999 as compared to the third quarter of 1998, and decreased 3 basis points from the second quarter of 1999. The average rate paid this quarter on interest-bearing funds decreased 35 basis points from the third quarter of 1998 and increased 9 basis points from the second quarter of 1999. Comparing the first nine months of 1999 with 1998, the yield on average earning assets decreased 47 basis points, while the cost of interest-bearing funds decreased by 36 basis points. The spread on average interest-bearing funds for the third quarter of 1999 was 3.62%, down from the 3.89% for the third quarter of 1998 and down from the 3.74% for the second quarter of 1999.

1 Taxable-equivalent rates used where applicable. 2 Net of unearned income and fees, net of related costs. Loans include nonaccrual and restructured loans. 17 ZIONS BANCORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES The Company manages its earnings sensitivity to interest rate movements, in part, by matching the repricing characteristics of its assets and liabilities and through the use of off-balance sheet arrangements such as caps, floors and interest rate exchange contracts. Net interest income from the use of such off-balance sheet arrangements for the first nine months of 1999 was $7.0 million compared to $4.5 million for the first nine months of 1998. PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES The provision for loan losses increased 60.0% to $4.0 million for the third quarter of 1999, as compared with $2.5 million for the third quarter of 1998, and increased 9.5% from the $3.6 million for the second quarter of 1999. The provision for loan losses for the first nine months of 1999 totaled $11.8 million, 27.3% more than the $9.3 million provision for the first nine months of 1998. Annualized, the nine month provision is .14% of average loans for 1999 compared to .20% for 1998. NONINTEREST INCOME Noninterest income for the third quarter of 1999 was $61.2 million, an increase of 23.3% from the $49.6 million for the third quarter of 1998 and an increase of 0.7% over the $60.7 million for the second quarter of 1999. Primary contributors to the increase in noninterest income were service charges on deposit accounts; other service charges, commissions and fees; trust income; underwriting and trading income; and other income. Comparing the segments of noninterest income for the third quarter of 1999 and the third quarter of 1998 service charges on deposit accounts increased 29.3%; other service charges, commissions and fees increased 9.2%; trust income increased 70.7%; underwriting and trading income increased 6.8%; loan sales and servicing income decreased 27.4%; and other income increased 192.5%. Net losses of $0.3 million on the sale of investment securities were realized during the third quarter of 1999 compared to net losses of $0.8 million during the third quarter of 1998. The increase in other income includes approximately $1.9 million of income from investments in bank owned life insurance policies, and income from nonmarketable securities previously classified as securities income. Noninterest income for the nine months ending September 30, 1999 was $185.3 million, an increase of 30.3% over $142.2 million for the first nine months of 1998. Comparing the segments of noninterest income for the first nine months of 1999 and the first nine months of 1998, service charges on deposit accounts increased 32.8%; other service charges, commissions and fees increased 25.1%; trust income increased 80.9%; underwriting and trading income increased 57.5%; loan sales and servicing income increased 0.4%; and other income increased 133.3%. Net losses of $1.4 million on the sale of investment securities was realized during the first nine months of 1999 compared to net gains of $2.2 million during the first nine months of 1998. The main reasons for the increase in other income are $5.2 million of income from investments in bank owned life insurance policies in 1999 and income from nonmarketable equity securities previously classified as securities income. The increase in underwriting and trading income reflects the Company's commencement of providing online executable bond sales over Bloomberg and the Internet and the underwriting of municipal revenue bonds. 18 ZIONS BANCORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NONINTEREST EXPENSE Noninterest expense for the third quarter of 1999 was $148.9 million, an increase of 31.9% over $112.8 million for the third quarter of 1998, and a decrease of 1.5% from the $151.2 million for the second quarter of 1999. Comparing significant noninterest expense segments for the third quarter of 1999 and the third quarter of 1998, salaries and employee benefits increased 37.5%, occupancy increased 53.3%, furniture and equipment expense increased 13.8% and the total of all other expenses, excluding merger related expenses, increased 29.6% which included significant increases in legal and professional services, postage, advertising, amortization of goodwill and core deposit intangible assets and other expenses. Noninterest expense for the nine months ending September 30, 1999 was $448.8 million, an increase of 35.6% over $331.0 million for the first nine months of 1998. Comparing significant noninterest expense segments for the first nine months of 1999 and the first nine months of 1998, salaries and employee benefits increased 47.9%, occupancy increased 76.1%, furniture and equipment expenses increased 19.2%, and the total of all other expenses, excluding merger related expenses, increased 30.9% which included significant increases for legal and professional services, postage, advertising, amortization of goodwill and core deposit intangible assets and other expenses. The increase in noninterest expense in 1999 resulted primarily from acquisitions, including the acquisition of The Sumitomo Bank of California in a purchase transaction, expansion of business lines and investment in personnel in selected areas to enhance future revenue growth. At September 30, 1999, the Company had 6,554 full time equivalent employees, 343 offices and 483 ATMs compared to 5,278 full time equivalent employees, 280 offices and 395 ATMs at September 30, 1998. INCOME TAXES The Company's income taxes increased 29.9% to $29.0 million for the third quarter of 1999 compared to $22.3 million for the third quarter of 1998 and increased 6.9% from the $27.1 million for the second quarter of 1999. The Company's income taxes were $83.0 million for the first nine months of 1999 as compared to $56.2 million for the first nine months of 1998. The Company's effective income tax rate was 34.2% for the first nine months of 1999, up from 32.9% for the first nine months of 1998. The increased effective tax rate for 1999 compared to 1998 results primarily from changes in estimates of tax benefits from NOL and refund claims recorded in 1998.

20 ZIONS BANCORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES 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. The table below sets forth the amount of loans outstanding by type on September 30, 1999, December 31, 1998 and September 30, 1998. (In millions)

Loans held for sale on September 30, 1999 decreased 33.6% from year-end 1998. All other loans, net of unearned income and fees increased 8.3% to $11,262 million on September 30, 1999 compared to $10,401 million on December 31, 1998.

Within the other real estate-secured loan portfolio, home equity credit line loans decreased 10.3%, 1-4 family residential loans increased 12.0% and all other real estate loans decreased .4% from year end. 21 ZIONS BANCORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES On September 30, 1999, long-term first mortgage real estate loans serviced for others totaled $228 million and consumer and other loan securitizations, which relate primarily to loans sold under revolving securitization structures, totaled $1,224 million. During the first nine months of 1999, the Company sold $732 million of loans classified in held for sale, and securitized and sold SBA 504 loans, home equity credit line loans, credit card receivables and automobile loans totaling $852 million. During the first nine months of 1999, total loans sold were $1,584 million. RISK ELEMENTS The Company's nonperforming assets, which include nonaccruing loans, restructured loans, other real estate owned and other nonperforming assets, were $58 million on September 30, 1999, down from $64 million on December 31, 1998, and up from $36 million on September 30, 1998. Such nonperforming assets as a percentage of net loans and leases, other real estate owned and other nonperforming assets were .51%, .60% and .53% on September 30, 1999, December 31, 1998, and September 30, 1998, respectively. Accruing loans past due 90 days or more totaled $33 million on September 30, 1999, up from $26 million on December 31, 1998, and up from $12 million on September 30, 1998. These loans equaled .28% of net loans and leases on September 30, 1999, as compared to .24% on December 31, 1998 and .18% on September 30, 1998. No loans to borrowers were considered potential problems at September 30, 1999, December 31, 1998 and September 30, 1998. 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 $39 million on September 30, 1999, as compared to $41 million on December 31, 1998, and $16 million on September 30, 1998. 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, 1999, December 31, 1998, and September 30, 1998, is a required allowance of $13 million, $5 million and $1 million, respectively, on $16 million, $12 million and $5 million, respectively, of the recorded investment in impaired loans. 22 ZIONS BANCORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES The following table sets forth the nonperforming assets on September 30, 1999, December 31, 1998, and September 30, 1998.

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES The Company's allowance for loan losses was 1.74% of net loans and leases on September 30, 1999, compared to 1.93% on December 31, 1998, and 1.49% on September 30, 1998. Net charge-offs during the third quarter of 1999 were $10 million, or .36% of average net loans and leases, compared to net charge-offs of $3 million, or .18% of average net loans and leases for the third quarter of 1998. Net charge-offs for the first nine months of 1999 were $19 million, or .23% of average net loans and leases, compared to $7 million or .14% of average net loans and leases for the first nine months of 1998. The allowance, as a percentage of nonaccrual loans and restructured loans, was 408.26% on September 30, 1999, compared to 347.86% on December 31, 1998, and 316.39% on September 30, 1998. The allowance, as a percentage of nonaccrual loans and accruing loans past due 90 days or more was 247.37% on September 30, 1999, compared to 258.04% on December 31, 1998 and 232.52% on September 30, 1998. Commitments to extend credit on loans and standby letters of credit on September 30, 1999, December 31, 1998 and September 30, 1998, totaled $5,608 million, $4,758 million and $3,420 million, respectively. 23 ZIONS BANCORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES 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 review, 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. The following table shows the changes in the allowance for loan losses and a summary of loan loss experience.

24 ZIONS BANCORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES DEPOSITS Average total deposits of $13,077 million for the first nine months of 1999 increased 57.4% over the $8,307 million for the first nine months of 1998, with average demand deposits increasing 47.7%. Average money market and super NOW deposits, time deposits under $100,000, and time deposits over $100,000 for the first nine months of 1999 increased 66.5%, 60.9% and 97.3% respectively, from the first nine months of 1998. Average savings and NOW deposits increased 35.7% during the first nine months of 1999, compared with the same period one year earlier. Total deposits decreased 2.3% to $13,009 million on September 30, 1999 as compared to $13,321 million on December 31, 1998. Comparing September 30, 1999 to December 31, 1998, demand deposits, time deposits under $100,000, time deposits over $100,000 and foreign deposits decreased 4.7%, 22.1%, 35.2% and 27.3% respectively, while savings and money market deposits increased 15.6%. 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 Company's liquidity is enhanced by the fact that cash, money market securities and liquid investments, net of short-term or "purchased" liabilities and wholesale deposits, totaled $872 million or 7.3% of core deposits on September 30, 1999. The Company's core deposits, consisting of demand, savings and money market deposits and time deposits under $100,000, constituted 91.2% of total deposits on September 30, 1999 as compared to 87.0% on December 31, 1998 and 90.1% on September 30, 1998. 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. 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 payments by subsidiaries of dividends, management and other fees, principal and interest payments on subsidiary borrowings from the parent company. Interest rate risk is the most significant market risk regularly undertaken by Company. The Company believes there have been no significant changes in market risk compared to the disclosures in Zions Bancorporation's Annual Report to Shareholders on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998. 25 ZIONS BANCORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES 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 off-balance sheet arrangements such as 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 through the use of off-balance sheet financial instruments. CAPITAL RESOURCES AND DIVIDENDS Total shareholders' equity on September 30, 1999 was $1,113 million, an increase of 9.8% over the $1,014 million on December 31, 1998, and an increase of 13.9% over the $977 million on September 30, 1998. The ratio of average equity to average assets for the first nine months of 1999 was 5.98% as compared to 7.18% for the same period in 1998. On September 30, 1999, the Company's Tier I risk-based capital ratio was 8.45%, as compared to 8.46% on December 31, 1998 and 12.88% on September 30, 1998. On September 30, 1999 the Company's total risk-based capital ratio was 11.27%, as compared to 11.48% on December 31, 1998 and 16.01% on September 30, 1998. The Company's leverage ratio on September 30, 1999 was 6.14%, as compared to 5.98% on December 31, 1998 and 8.51% on September 30, 1998. Dividends declared per common share for the third quarter of 1999 of $.29 were the same as the second quarter of 1999 and increased 107.1%, as compared to $.14 for the third quarter of 1998. The common cash dividend payout of net income for the first nine months of 1999 was 36.38%, as compared to 25.85% for the first nine months of 1998. During the first nine months of 1999, the Company repurchased and retired 83,332 shares of its common stock at a cost of $4.8 million. 26 ZIONS BANCORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS On April 27, 1999, the Company announced a definitive agreement to merge with Regency Bancorp of Fresno, California in exchange for common shares of Zions. Regency Bancorp's banking subsidiary, Regency Bank, will then merge into Zions' subsidiary, California Bank & Trust. As of June 30, 1999, Regency Bancorp had total assets of approximately $230 million. The merger will be accounted for as a pooling of interests and closed on October 6, 1999. On May 7, 1999, the Company announced a definitive agreement to merge with Pioneer Bancorporation of Reno, Nevada in exchange for common shares of Zions. Pioneer Bancorporation's subsidiary, Pioneer Citizens Bank of Nevada, will merge into Zions' subsidiary, Nevada State Bank, creating the third largest bank in the state. As of June 30, 1999, Pioneer Bancorporation had total assets of approximately $1,102 million. The transaction closed on October 15, 1999 and will be accounted for as a pooling of interests. See Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of a pending merger with First Security Corporation announced in June 1999. YEAR 2000 A number of electronic systems utilize a two-digit field for year references, e.g., 98 for 1998. Such systems may compute that the year 2000, if represented as 00, to be 99 years ago rather than one year hence. If these systems are not corrected prior to December 31, 1999, many processing failures could result. This section describes the status of the Company's efforts to correct these system deficiencies. State of Readiness. The Company has completed its mission-critical Year 2000 Program efforts, including an integrated core (mission critical) systems test on a computer system defined as if it was year 2000. The Company has also assessed the operability of other devices after 1999, including vaults, fax machines, stand-alone personal computers, security systems and elevators. The Company believes that these systems are also Y2K compliant, and in any case the failure of these systems would not have a material adverse effect upon the financial condition of the enterprise. Costs. In order to achieve and confirm Year 2000 readiness, significant costs have been incurred to test and modify or replace computer software and hardware. The Company believes that its remediation costs have been mitigated since it replaced the large majority of its core banking systems during the past five years with Year 2000 compliant software in the ordinary course of business. However, the considerable effort required to implement new software, and sufficiently test its compliance, has consumed a substantial portion of the Company's internal information technology resources. This diversion of resources to the Year 2000 Project has resulted in delays in implementing enhancements to a number of the Company's systems and products. The Company does not believe, however, that these delays have had a significant effect on its revenue or expense growth. The aggregate increase in operating expense to achieve Year 2000 readiness is estimated to be approximately $3 million, which has already been incurred. In addition, a significant portion of the Company's personal computers was replaced to achieve Year 2000 compliance. The capital outlay to replace these assets was approximately $3 million, a portion of which would also have been incurred in the ordinary course of business without regard to Year 2000 issues. 27 ZIONS BANCORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Risks. If the Company's mission-critical applications are not compliant by 2000, it may not be able to correctly process transactions in a reasonable period of time. This scenario could result in a wide variety of claims against the Company for improper handling of its assets and deposits or other borrowings from its customers. The Company is also at risk if the credit worthiness of a few of its large borrowers, or a significant number of its small borrowers, were to deteriorate quickly and severely as a result of their inability to conduct business operations after December 31, 1999, for whatever reason. The Company has surveyed and reviewed the Year 2000 plans of a number of its credit customers to ascertain the sufficiency of their remediation efforts and the implications of their actions on their credit worthiness. From this review, the Company believes that the increased credit risk that the Company may experience as a result of the Year 2000 issue will not have a material adverse effect its financial condition. The Company explicitly disclaims, however, any obligation or liability for the completeness, or lack thereof, of its customers' Year 2000 remediation plans or actions. Contingency Plans. The Company has developed business resumption plans for each significant business unit in the event that unforeseen events beyond the Company's control adversely impact its ability to provide financial services to its customers. In the event of such a failure, these plans outline the steps that will be taken to minimize the impact to customers and losses to the Company.
