For information regarding the parent, separate from the subsidiaries, see "Item
7 - Management's Discussion & Analysis" and Note

16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in "Item 8 - Financial Statements
and Supplementary Data."

The business of the Company's banking subsidiaries (collectively referred to
hereafter as the "Banks") consists primarily of attracting deposit accounts from
the general public and originating commercial, residential, installment and
other loans. The Banks' principal sources of revenue are interest on loans, loan
origination fees, fees on deposit accounts and interest and dividends on
investment securities. The principal sources of expenses are interest on
deposits, FHLB advances, repurchase agreements, subordinated debentures, and
other borrowings, as well as general and administrative expenses.

BUSINESS SEGMENT RESULTS

The Company defines operating segments and evaluates segment performance
internally based on individual bank charters. The following schedule provides
selected financial data for the Company's operating segments. Centrally provided
services to the bank subsidiaries are allocated based on estimated usage of
those services. The operating segment identified as "Other" includes limited
partnership interests that operate residential rental real estate properties
which have been allocated low income housing tax credits. Intersegment revenues
primarily represents interest income on intercompany borrowings, management
fees, and data processing fees received by individual banks or the parent
company. Intersegment revenues, expenses, assets, and liabilities are eliminated
in order to report results in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America.

On April 30, 2008, Whitefish was merged into Glacier with operations conducted
under the Glacier charter. The five subsidiaries acquired as a result of the
acquisition of CDC included Citizens State Bank, First Citizens Bank of
Billings, First National Bank of Lewistown, Western Bank of Chinook, and First

Western, and Glacier, respectively. On June 21, 2007, Western Bank of Chinook
was merged into First National Bank of Lewistown and renamed First Bank of
Montana. Prior period activity of the merged banks has been combined and
included in the remaining bank subsidiaries' historical results.

10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K and amendments to those reports filed or
furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 are available free of charge through the Company's website

MARKET AREA

The Company has 98 locations, of which 6 are loan or administration offices, in
33 counties within 6 states including Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado, Utah,
and Washington. The Company has 50 offices that serve northwest and west central
Montana. In Idaho, there are 29 locations serving southeast, northern and south
central Idaho. In Wyoming, there are 9 locations concentrated in southwest
Wyoming. In Utah there are 4 locations. In Washington, there are 3 locations. In
Colorado, there are 3 locations.

The market area's economic base primarily focuses on tourism, construction,
manufacturing, service industry, and health care. The tourism industry is highly
influenced by two national parks, several ski resorts, large lakes, and rural
scenic areas. Construction results from the high population growth that has
occurred in the market areas, in particular Idaho and western Montana.

COMPETITION

Based on the FDIC summary of deposits survey as of June 30, 2008, the Company
has approximately 19 percent of the total FDIC insured deposits in the 13
counties that it services in Montana. In Idaho, the Company has approximately 6
percent of the deposits in the 9 counties that it services. In Wyoming, 1st Bank
has 22 percent of the deposits in the 4 counties it services. In Colorado, San
Juans has 10 percent of the deposits in the 2 counties it serves.

There are a large number of depository institutions including savings banks,
commercial banks, and credit unions in the counties in which the Company has
offices. The Banks, like other depository institutions, are operating in a
rapidly changing environment. Non-depository financial service institutions,
primarily in the securities and insurance industries, have become competitors
for retail savings and investment funds. Mortgage banking/brokerage firms are
actively competing for residential mortgage business. In addition to offering
competitive interest rates, the principal methods used by banking institutions
to attract deposits include the offering of a variety of services including
on-line banking and convenient office locations and business hours. The primary
factors in competing for loans are interest rates and rate adjustment
provisions, loan maturities, loan fees, and the quality of service to borrowers
and brokers.

RATE/VOLUME ANALYSIS

Net interest income can be evaluated from the perspective of relative dollars of
change in each period. Interest income and interest expense, which are the
components of net interest income, are shown in the following table on the basis
of the amount of any increases (or decreases) attributable to changes in the
dollar levels of the Company's interest-earning assets and interest-bearing
liabilities ("Volume") and the yields earned and rates paid on such assets and
liabilities ("Rate"). The change in interest income and interest expense
attributable to changes in both volume and rates has been allocated
proportionately to the change due to volume and the change due to rate.

Net interest income increased $29 million in 2008 over 2007. The increase was
primarily due to increases in loan volumes and decrease in deposit and borrowing
rates which combined outpaced the decrease in loan rates. For additional
information see "Item 7 - Management's Discussion and Analysis".

INVESTMENT ACTIVITIES

It has generally been the Company's policy to maintain a liquid portfolio above
policy limits because higher yields can generally be obtained from loan
originations than from short-term deposits and investment securities. Liquidity
levels may be increased or decreased depending upon yields on investment
alternatives and upon management's judgment as to the attractiveness of the
yields then available in relation to other opportunities and its expectation of
the level of yield that will be available in the future.

The Company's investment securities are generally classified as available for
sale and are carried at estimated fair value with unrealized gains or losses,
net of tax, reflected as an adjustment to stockholders' equity. The Company uses
the federal statutory rate of 35 percent in calculating its tax equivalent
yield. Approximately $418 million of the investment portfolio is comprised of
tax exempt investments which is an increase of $148 million from the prior year.

LENDING ACTIVITY

GENERAL

The Banks focus their lending activity primarily on the following types of
loans: 1) first-mortgage, conventional loans secured by residential properties,
particularly single-family, 2) installment lending for consumer purposes (e.g.,
auto, home equity, etc.), and 3) commercial lending that concentrates on
targeted businesses. "Item 7 - Management's Discussion & Analysis" and Note 4 to

RESIDENTIAL REAL ESTATE LENDING

The Company's lending activities consist of the origination of both construction
and permanent loans on residential real estate loans. The Company actively
solicits residential real estate loan applications from real estate brokers,
contractors, existing customers, customer referrals, and walk-ins to their
offices. The Company's lending policies generally limit the maximum
loan-to-value ratio on residential mortgage loans to 80 percent of the lesser of
the appraised value or purchase price or above 80 percent of the loan if insured
by a private mortgage insurance company. The Company also provides interim
construction financing for single-family dwellings. These loans are supported by
a term take out commitment. Total residential construction loans are $112
million as of December 31, 2008.

CONSUMER LAND AND LOT LOANS

The Company also makes land and lot acquisition loans to borrowers who intend to
construct their primary residence on the respective land or lot. These loans are
generally for a term of three to five years and are secured by the developed
land or lot with the loan to value limited to the lesser of 75% of cost or
appraised value. As of December 31, 2008, these loans totaled $179 million.

LAND ACQUISITION AND DEVELOPMENT LOANS

Where real estate market conditions warrant, the Company makes land acquisition
and development loans on properties intended for residential and commercial use.
These loans are generally made for a term of 18 months to two years and secured
by the developed property with a loan-to-value not to exceed the lesser of 75
percent of cost or 65 percent of the appraised discounted bulk sale value upon
completion of the improvements. The loans are made to borrowers with real estate
development experience and appropriate financial strength. Generally it is
required a certain percentage of the development be pre-sold or that
construction and term take out commitments are in place prior to funding the
loan. As of December 31, 2008, land acquisition loans totaled $135 million and
development loans totaled $270 million.

RESIDENTIAL BUILDER GUIDANCE LINES

The Company provides Builder Guidance Lines that are comprised of pre-sold and
spec-home construction and lot acquisition loans. The spec-home construction and
lot acquisition loans are limited to a set number and maximum amount. Generally
the individual loans will not exceed a one year maturity. The homes under
construction are inspected on a regular basis and advances made on a percentage
of completion basis. As of December 31, 2008, spec and pre-sold home loans
totaled $198 million and developed lots total $87 million.

COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE LOANS

Loans are made to purchase, construct and finance commercial real estate
properties. These loans are generally made to borrowers who own and will occupy
the property. Loans to finance investment or income properties are made, but
require additional equity and a higher debt service coverage margin commensurate
with the specific property and projected income. As of December 31, 2008,
commercial real estate construction loans totaled $77 million, owner-occupied
term commercial loans totaled $623 million and non-owner occupied term
commercial real estate loans totaled $388 million.

CONSUMER LENDING

The majority of consumer loans are secured by real estate, automobiles, or other
assets. The Banks intend to continue making such loans because of their
short-term nature, generally between three months and five years. Moreover,
interest rates on consumer loans are generally higher than on mortgage loans.
The Banks also originate second mortgage and home equity loans, especially to
its existing customers in instances where the first and second mortgage loans
are less than 80 percent of the current appraised value of the property.

CREDIT RISK MANAGEMENT

The Company's credit risk management includes stringent credit policies,
individual loan approval limits and committee approval of larger loan requests.
Management practices also include regular internal and external credit
examinations and an independent stress testing of the land
acquisition/development and commercial real estate portfolios. On a quarterly
basis, both the Banks and the bank holding company management review loans
experiencing deterioration of credit quality, including a review of the
acquisition and development loans, and spec/pre-sold home loans, On a
semi-annual basis, a review of loans by industry and concentration limits is
performed. Federal and state regulatory safety and soundness examinations are
conducted annually at Glacier, Mountain, First Security and Western and every
eighteen months for all other bank subsidiaries.

LOAN APPROVAL LIMITS

Individual loan approval limits have been established for each lender based on
the loan types and experience of the individual. Each bank subsidiary has an
Officer Loan Committee consisting of senior lenders and members of senior
management. The Officer Loan Committee for each bank has approval authority up
to its respective Bank's Board of Directors loan approval authority. The Banks'

Board of Directors approval authority is $2,000,000 at Big Sky, Valley, 1st
Bank, Citizens, Morgan, San Juans, and First Bank-MT and $3,500,000 at Glacier,
Mountain West, First Security and Western. Loans over these limits up to
$10,000,000 are subject to approval by the Executive Loan Committee consisting
of the Bank's senior loan officers and the Company's Credit Administrator. Loans
greater than $10,000,000 are subject to approval by the Company's Board of
Directors. Under banking laws, loans to one borrower and related entities are
limited to a set percentage of the unimpaired capital and surplus of each bank
subsidiary.

LOAN PURCHASES AND SALES

Fixed-rate, long-term mortgage loans are generally sold in the secondary market.
The Company is active in the secondary market, primarily through the origination
of conventional, FHA and VA residential mortgages. The sale of loans in the
secondary mortgage market reduces the Company's risk of holding long-term,
fixed-rate loans during periods of rising rates. The sale of loans also allows
the Company to make loans during periods when funds are not otherwise available
for lending purposes. In connection with conventional loan sales, the Company
typically sells a majority of mortgage loans originated, with servicing
released, retaining servicing only on loans sold to investors. The Company has
also been very active in generating commercial SBA loans, and other commercial
loans, with a portion of those loans sold to investors. As of December 31, 2008,
loans serviced for others aggregated approximately $181 million. The Company has
not originated any type of subprime mortgages, either for the loan portfolio or
for sale to investors. In addition, the Company has not purchased securities
that were collateralized with subprime mortgages. The Company did not purchase
loans outside the Company or originate loans outside the existing geographic
area.

LOAN ORIGINATION AND OTHER FEES

In addition to interest earned on loans, the Company receives fees for
originating loans. Loan fees generally are a percentage of the principal amount
of the loan and are charged to the borrower, and are normally deducted from the
proceeds of the loan. Loan origination fees are generally 1.0 percent to 1.5
percent on residential mortgages and .5 percent to 1.5 percent on commercial
loans. Consumer loans require a flat fee as well as a minimum interest amount.
The Company also receives other fees and charges relating to existing loans,
which include charges and fees collected in connection with loan modifications
and escrow service.

NON-PERFORMING LOANS AND ASSET CLASSIFICATION

Loans are reviewed on a regular basis and are placed on a non-accrual status
when the collection of the contractual principal or interest is unlikely. The
Company typically places loans on non-accrual when principal or interest is due
and has remained unpaid for 90 days or more unless the loan is in process of
collection and well-secured by collateral the fair value of which is sufficient
to discharge the debt in full. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status,
interest previously accrued but not collected is generally reversed against
current period interest income. Subsequent payments are either applied to the
outstanding principal balance or recorded as interest income, depending on the
assessment of the ultimate repayment of the loan. Interest accruals are resumed
on such loans only when they are brought fully current with respect to interest
and principal and when, in the judgment of management, the loans are estimated
to be fully collectible as to both principal and interest.

Non-performing assets as a percentage of the Bank's total assets at December 31,
2008 were at 1.46 percent, up from .27 percent as of December 31, 2007. The
allowance for loan and lease losses ("ALLL" or "allowance") was 90.87 percent of
non-performing assets at December 31, 2008, down from 409.49 percent for the
prior year end. Each bank subsidiary evaluates the level of its non-performing
assets, the values of the underlying real estate and other collateral, and
related trends in net charge-offs. Through pro-active credit administration, the
Banks work closely with borrowers to seek favorable resolution to the extent
possible, thereby attempting to minimize net charge-offs or losses to the
Company.

Most of the Company's non-performing assets are secured by real estate. Based on
the most current information available to management, including updated
appraisals where appropriate, the Company believes the value of the underlying
real estate collateral is adequate to minimize significant charge-offs or loss
to the Company.

A loan is considered impaired when, based upon current information and events,
it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments
of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan
agreement. The amount of the impairment is measured using cash flows discounted
at the loan's effective interest rate, except when it is determined that
repayment of the loan is expected to be provided solely by the underlying
collateral. For collateral dependent loans, impairment is measured by the fair
value of the collateral less the cost to sell. When the ultimate collectability
of the total principal of an impaired loan is in doubt, all payments are applied
to principal under the cost recovery method. When the ultimate collectability of
the total principal on an impaired loan is not in doubt, contractual interest is
generally credited to interest income when received under the cash basis method.
Total interest income recognized for impaired loans under the cash basis for the
years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 was not significant. Impaired loans, net
of government guaranteed amounts, were $79.9 million and $12.2 million as of
December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The ALLL includes valuation allowances
of $8.0 million and $2.8 million specific to impaired loans as of December 31,
2008 and 2007, respectively.

The combined total of lot acquisition loans to borrowers who intend to construct
a primary residence on the lot, and other construction and land acquisition and
development loans is $1.103 billion and represents 26.7 percent of the total
loans as of December 31, 2008. At December 31, 2007, the comparable total was
$1.021, or 28.3 percent of total loans. Outstanding balances are centered in
Western Montana, and Couer d'Alene, Sandpoint, and Boise, Idaho. The geographic
dispersion, in addition to the normal credit standards, further mitigates the
risk of loss in the portfolio.

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN AND LEASE LOSSES

The Company is committed to a conservative management of the credit risk within
the loan and lease portfolios, including the early recognition of problem loans.
The Company's credit risk management includes stringent credit policies,
individual loan approval limits, limits on concentrations of credit, and
committee approval of larger loan requests. Management practices also include
regular internal and external credit examinations, identification and review of
individual loans and leases experiencing deterioration of credit quality,
procedures for the collection of non-performing assets, quarterly monitoring of
the loan and lease portfolios, semi-annual review of loans by industry, and
periodic stress testing of the loans secured by real estate.

Determining the adequacy of the ALLL involves a high degree of judgment and is
inevitably imprecise as the risk of loss is difficult to quantify. The ALLL
methodology is designed to reasonably estimate the probable loan and lease
losses within each bank subsidiary's loan and lease portfolios. Accordingly, the
ALLL is maintained within a range of estimated losses. The determination of the
ALLL and the related provision for credit losses is a critical accounting
estimate that involves management's judgments about all known relevant internal
and external environmental factors that affect loan losses, including the credit
risk inherent in the loan and lease portfolios, economic conditions nationally
and in the local markets in which the Banks operate, changes in collateral
values, delinquencies, non-performing assets and net charge-offs. Although the
Company and the banks continue to actively monitor economic trends, a softening
of economic conditions combined with declines in the values of real estate that
collateralize most of the Company's loan and lease portfolios may adversely
affect the credit risk and potential for loss to the Company.

The Company considers the ALLL balance of $76.7 million adequate to cover
inherent losses in the loan and lease portfolios as of December 31, 2008.
However, no assurance can be given that the Company will not, in any particular
period, sustain losses that are significant relative to the amount reserved, or
that subsequent evaluations of the loan and lease portfolios applying
management's judgment about then current factors, including regulatory
developments, will not require significant changes in the ALLL. Under such
circumstances, this could result in enhanced provisions for credit losses. See
additional risk factors in Part I - Item 1A - Risk Factors.

The Company's model of eleven wholly-owned, independent community banks, each
with its own loan committee, chief credit officer and Board of Directors,
provides substantial local oversight to the lending and credit management
function. Unlike a traditional, single-bank holding company, the Company's
decentralized business model affords multiple reviews of larger loans before
credit is extended, a

significant benefit in mitigating and managing the Company's credit risk. The
geographic dispersion of the market areas in which the Company and the community
bank subsidiaries operate further mitigates the risk of credit loss. While this
process is intended to limit credit exposure, there can be no assurance that
problem credits will not arise and loan losses incurred, particularly in periods
of rapid economic downturns.

At the end of each quarter, each of the subsidiary community banks analyzes its
loan and lease portfolio and maintain an ALLL at a level that is appropriate and
determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America. The ALLL balance covers estimated credit losses on
individually evaluated loans, including those which are determined to be
impaired, as well as estimated credit losses inherent in the remainder of the
loan and lease portfolios.

The ALLL evaluation is well documented and approved by each bank subsidiary's
Board of Directors and reviewed by the Parent's Board of Directors. In addition,
the policy and procedures for determining the balance of the ALLL are reviewed
annually by each bank subsidiary's Board of Directors, the Parent's Board of
Directors, independent credit reviewer and state and federal bank regulatory
agencies. Each of the Bank's ALLL is generally available to absorb losses from
any segment of its loan and lease portfolio

The primary responsibility for credit risk assessment and identification of
problem loans rests with the loan officer of the account. This continuous
process, utilizing each of the Bank's internal credit risk rating process, is
necessary to support management's evaluation of the ALLL adequacy. An
independent loan review function verifying credit risk ratings evaluates the
loan officer and management's evaluation of the loan portfolio credit quality.
The loan review function also assesses the evaluation process and provides an
independent analysis of the adequacy of the ALLL.

The ALLL has increased $22.3 million, or 41 percent, from a year ago. The ALLL
of $76.7 million is 1.86 percent of December 31, 2008 total loans outstanding,
up from 1.51 percent at prior year end. The provision for loan and lease loss
expense was $28.5 million, an increase of $21.8 million from 2007. Net loans and
lease charge-offs were $8.8 million, or .23 percent of average loans and leases
in 2008, compared to net charge-offs of $2.2 million, or .06 percent of average
loans and leases in 2007.

The increase in the ALLL was primarily due to the increase in non-performing
assets since December 31, 2007 and a downturn in global, national and local
economies.

The Banks' charge-off policy is consistent with bank regulatory standards.
Consumer loans generally are charged off when the loan becomes over 120 days
delinquent. Real estate acquired as a result of foreclosure or by deed-in-lieu
of foreclosure is classified as real estate owned until such time as it is sold.
When such property is acquired, it is recorded at estimated fair value, less
estimated cost to sell. Any write-down at the time of recording real estate
owned is charged to the ALLL. Any subsequent write-downs are charged to current
expense.

For additional information regarding the ALLL, its relation to the provision for
loan and lease losses and risk related to asset quality, see Note 4 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements in "Item 8 - Financial Statements and
Supplementary Data."

SOURCES OF FUNDS

GENERAL

Deposits are the most important source of the Banks' funds for lending and other
business purposes. In addition, the Banks derive funds from loan repayments,
advances from the FHLB, borrowings from the FRB discount window, borrowings from
the U.S. Treasury Tax and Loan funds, repurchase agreements, and loan sales.
Loan repayments are a relatively stable source of funds, while interest bearing
deposit inflows and outflows are significantly influenced by general interest
rate levels and money market conditions. Borrowings and advances may be used on
a short-term basis to compensate for reductions in normal sources of funds such
as deposit inflows at less than projected levels. They also may be used on a
long-term basis to support expanded activities and to match maturities of
longer-term assets. Deposits obtained through the Banks have traditionally been
the principal source of funds for use in lending and other business purposes.
Currently, the Banks have a number of different deposit programs designed to
attract both short-term and long-term deposits from the general public by
providing a wide selection of accounts and rates. These programs include regular
statement savings, interest-bearing checking, money market deposit accounts, and
fixed rate certificates of deposit with maturities ranging form three months to
five years, negotiated-rate jumbo certificates, non-interest demand accounts,
and individual retirement accounts.

"Item 7 - Management's Discussion and Analysis" contains information relating to
changes in the overall deposit portfolio.

Deposits are obtained primarily from individual and business residents of the
Banks' market area. The Banks issue negotiated-rate certificate of deposits
accounts and have paid a limited amount of fees to brokers to obtain deposits.
The following table illustrates the amounts outstanding for deposits $100,000
and greater, according to the time remaining to maturity.

and Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in "Item 8 - Financial
Statements and Supplementary Data".

ADVANCES AND OTHER BORROWINGS

As members of the FHLB, the Banks may borrow from such entity on the security of
FHLB stock which the Banks are required to own and certain of its loans and
other assets (principally, securities which are obligations of, or guaranteed
by, the United States), provided certain standards related to credit-worthiness
have been met. Advances are made pursuant to several different credit programs,
each of which has its own interest rate and range of maturities. Depending on
the program, limitations on the amount of advances are based either on a fixed
percentage of an institution's total assets or on the FHLB's assessment of the
institution's credit-worthiness. FHLB advances have been used from time to time
to meet seasonal and other withdrawals of deposits and to expand lending by
matching a portion of the estimated amortization and prepayments of retained
fixed rate mortgages. All bank subsidiaries, except San Juans are members of the
FHLB of Seattle and San Juans is a member of the FHLB of Topeka.

The Banks may also borrow funds from the FRB discount window or from the U.S.
Treasury Tax and Loan program. Both programs require pledging of certain loans
or securities of the Banks and are generally short term obligations.

From time to time, primarily as a short-term financing arrangement for
investment or liquidity purposes, the Banks have made use of repurchase
agreements. This process involves the "selling" of one or more of the securities
in the Banks' portfolio and by entering into an agreement to "repurchase" that
same security at an agreed upon later date. A rate of interest is paid for the
subject period of time. In addition, although the Banks have offered retail
repurchase agreements to its retail customers, the Government Securities Act of
1986 imposed confirmation and other requirements which generally made it
impractical for financial institutions to offer such investments on a broad
basis. Through policies adopted by each of the Banks' Board of Directors, the
Banks enter into repurchase agreements with local municipalities, and certain
customers, and have adopted procedures designed to ensure proper transfer of
title and safekeeping of the underlying securities.

The following chart illustrates the average balances and the maximum outstanding
month-end balances for FHLB advances, repurchase agreements, U.S. Treasury Tax
and Loan borrowings, and FRB discount window borrowings:

SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES

In addition to funds obtained in the ordinary course of business, the Company
formed Glacier Trust II, Glacier Trust III, and Glacier Trust IV as financing
subsidiaries and obtained Citizens Trust I in connection with the acquisition of
Citizens on April 1, 2005 and San Juans Trust I in connection with the
acquisition of San Juans on December 1, 2008. The trusts issued preferred
securities that entitle the shareholder to receive cumulative cash distributions
from payments thereon. The Subordinated Debentures outstanding as of December
31, 2008 are $121,037,000, including fair value adjustments from acquisitions.
For additional information regarding the subordinated debentures, see Note 10 to
the Consolidated Financial Statements "Item 8 - Financial Statements and
Supplementary Data".

EMPLOYEES

As of December 31, 2008, the Company employed 1,662 persons, 1,432 of who were
full time, none of whom were represented by a collective bargaining group. The
Company provides its employees with a comprehensive benefit program, including
medical insurance, dental plan, life and accident insurance, long-term
disability coverage, sick leave, profit sharing plan, savings plan and employee
stock options. The Company considers its employee relations to be excellent. See
Note 13 in the Consolidated Financial Statements in "Item 8 - Financial
Statements and Supplementary Data" for detailed information regarding employee
benefit plans and eligibility.

SUPERVISION AND REGULATION

INTRODUCTION

The following discussion describes elements of the extensive regulatory
framework applicable to the Company and the Banks. This regulatory framework is
primarily designed for the protection of depositors, federal deposit insurance
funds and the banking system as a whole, rather than specifically for the
protection of shareholders. Due to the breadth of this regulatory framework, the
costs of compliance continue to increase in order to monitor and satisfy these
requirements.

To the extent that this section describes statutory and regulatory provisions,
it is qualified in its entirety by reference to those provisions. These statutes
and regulations, as well as related policies, are subject to change by Congress,
state legislatures and federal and state regulators. Changes in statutes,
regulations or regulatory policies applicable to the Company, including
interpretation or implementation thereof, could have a material effect on the
Company's business or operations.

BANK HOLDING COMPANY REGULATION

General. The Company is a bank holding company as defined in the Bank Holding
Company Act of 1956, as amended ("BHCA"), due to its ownership of the bank
subsidiaries listed below: Glacier, Valley, First Security, Big Sky, First
Bank-MT and Western are Montana state-chartered banks, and are members of the
Federal Reserve System; Mountain West and Citizens are Idaho state-chartered
banks; 1st Bank is a Wyoming state-chartered bank and is a member of the Federal
Reserve System; Morgan is a nationally chartered bank; and San Juans is a
Colorado state-chartered bank. The deposits of the Banks are insured by the
FDIC.

As a bank holding company, the Company is subject to regulation, supervision and
examination by the Federal Reserve. In general, the BHCA limits the business of
bank holding companies to owning or controlling banks and engaging in other
activities closely related to banking. The Company must also file reports with
and provide additional information to the Federal Reserve. Under the Financial
Services Modernization Act of 1999, a bank holding company may apply to the
Federal Reserve to become a financial holding company, and thereby engage
(directly or through a subsidiary) in certain expanded activities deemed
financial in nature, such as securities brokerage and insurance underwriting.

Holding Company Control of Nonbanks. With some exceptions, the BHCA also
prohibits a bank holding company from acquiring or retaining direct or indirect
ownership or control of more than 5% of the voting shares of any company that is
not a bank or bank holding company, or from engaging directly or indirectly in
activities other than those of banking, managing or controlling banks or
providing services for its subsidiaries. The principal exceptions to these
prohibitions involve certain non-bank activities that, by federal statute,
agency regulation or order, have been identified as activities closely related
to the business of banking or of managing or controlling banks.

Transactions with Affiliates. Bank subsidiaries of a bank holding company are
subject to restrictions imposed by the Federal Reserve Act on extensions of
credit to the holding company or its subsidiaries, on investments in their
securities, and on the use of their securities as collateral for loans to any
borrower. These regulations and restrictions may limit the Company's ability to
obtain funds from the bank subsidiaries for its cash needs, including funds for
payment of dividends, interest and operational expenses.

Tying Arrangements. The Company is prohibited from engaging in certain tie-in
arrangements in connection with any extension of credit, sale or lease of
property or furnishing of services. For example, with certain exceptions,
neither the Company nor the Banks may condition an extension of credit to a
customer on either (i) a requirement that the customer obtain additional
services provided by the Company or Banks; or (ii) an agreement by the customer
to refrain from obtaining other services from a competitor.

Support of Bank Subsidiaries. Under Federal Reserve policy, the Company is
expected to act as a source of financial and managerial strength to its Banks.
This means that the Company is required to commit, as necessary, resources to
support the Banks. Any capital loans a bank holding company makes to its bank
subsidiaries are subordinate to deposits and to certain other indebtedness of
those bank subsidiaries.

State Law Restrictions. As a Montana corporation, the Company is subject to
certain limitations and restrictions under applicable Montana corporate law. For
example, state law restrictions in Montana include limitations and restrictions
relating to indemnification of directors, distributions to shareholders,
transactions involving directors, officers or interested shareholders,
maintenance of books, records and minutes, and observance of certain corporate
formalities.

THE BANK SUBSIDIARIES

Glacier, Valley, First Security, Big Sky, First Bank-MT, and Western are subject
to regulation and supervision by the Montana Department of Administration's
Banking and Financial Institutions Division and the Federal Reserve as a result
of their membership in the Federal Reserve System.

Mountain West and Citizens are subject to regulation by the Idaho Department of
Finance and by the FDIC. In addition, Mountain West's Utah and Washington
branches are primarily regulated by the Utah Department of Financial
Institutions and the Washington Department of Financial Institutions,
respectively. 1st Bank is a member of the Federal Reserve System and is subject
to regulation and supervision by the Federal Reserve and also the Wyoming
Division of Banking as a Wyoming state chartered bank.

As a national banking association with a home office in Utah, Morgan is subject
to regulation by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency ("OCC") and, to a
certain extent, the Utah Department of Financial Institutions.

San Juans is subject to regulation by the Colorado Department of Regulatory
Agencies-Division of Banking and by the FDIC.

The federal laws that apply to the Banks regulate, among other things, the scope
of their business, their investments, their reserves against deposits, the
timing of the availability of deposited funds, and the nature, amount of, and
collateral for loans. Federal laws also regulate community reinvestment and
insider credit transactions and impose safety and soundness standards.

Community Reinvestment. The Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 requires that, in
connection with examinations of financial institutions within their
jurisdiction, federal bank regulators must evaluate the record of financial
institutions in meeting the credit needs of their local communities, including
low and moderate-income neighborhoods, consistent with the safe and sound
operation of those banks. A bank's community reinvestment record is also
considered by the applicable banking agencies in evaluating mergers,
acquisitions, and applications to open a branch or facility.

Insider Credit Transactions. Banks are also subject to certain restrictions on
extensions of credit to executive officers, directors, principal shareholders,
and their related interests. Extensions of credit (i) must be made on
substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, and
follow credit underwriting procedures that are at least as stringent, as those
prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with persons not covered
above and who are not employees; and (ii) must not involve more than the normal
risk of repayment or present other unfavorable features.

Regulation of Management. Federal law (i) sets forth circumstances under which
officers or directors of a bank may be removed by the institution's federal
supervisory agency; (ii) places restraints on lending by a bank to its executive
officers, directors, principal shareholders, and their related interests; and
(iii) prohibits management personnel of a bank from serving as a director or in
other management positions of another financial institution whose assets exceed
a specified amount or which has an office within a specified geographic area.

Safety and Soundness Standards. Federal law imposes upon banks certain
non-capital safety and soundness standards. These standards cover, among other
things, internal controls, information systems, internal audit systems, loan
documentation, credit underwriting, interest rate exposure, asset growth,
compensation and benefits. Additional standards apply to asset quality, earnings
and stock valuation. An institution that fails to meet these standards must
develop a plan acceptable to its regulators, specifying the steps that the
institution will take to meet the standards. Failure to submit or implement such
a plan may subject the institution to regulatory sanctions.

INTERSTATE BANKING AND BRANCHING

The Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994 (the
"Interstate Act") relaxed prior interstate branching restrictions under federal
law by permitting nationwide interstate banking and branching under certain
circumstances. Generally, bank holding companies may purchase banks in any state
and states may not prohibit such purchases. Additionally, banks are permitted to
merge with banks in other states as long as the home state of neither merging
bank has "opted out." The Interstate Act requires regulators to consult with
community organizations before permitting an interstate institution to close a
branch in a low-income area. Federal bank regulations prohibit banks from using
their interstate branches primarily for deposit production and federal bank
regulatory agencies have implemented a loan-to-deposit ratio screen to ensure
compliance with this prohibition.

With regard to interstate bank mergers, Montana "opted-out" of the Interstate
Act. Subject to certain conditions, an in-state bank that has been in existence
for at least 5 years may merge with an out-of-state bank. Banks, bank holding
companies, and their respective subsidiaries cannot acquire control of a bank
located in Montana if, after the acquisition, the acquiring institution,
together with its affiliates, would directly or indirectly control more than 22%
of the total deposits of insured depository institutions and credit unions

located in Montana. Montana law does not authorize the establishment of a branch
bank in Montana by an out-of-state bank.

Idaho has enacted "opting in" legislation in accordance with the Interstate Act
provisions allowing banks to engage in interstate merger transactions subject to
certain "aging" requirements. Branches may not be acquired or opened separately
in Idaho by an out-of-state bank, but once an out-of-state bank has acquired a
bank within Idaho, either through merger or acquisition of all or substantially
all of the bank's assets, the out-of-state bank may open additional branches
within Idaho.

Utah and Washington have each enacted "opting in" legislation similar in certain
respects to that enacted by Idaho, allowing banks to engage in interstate merger
transactions subject to certain aging requirements. Under Utah law, an
out-of-state bank may acquire a bank branch located in Utah, but it may not
establish a de novo branch in Utah if its home state does not have reciprocal
laws on de novo branching. Under Washington law, an out-of-state bank may,
subject to the Director's approval, open de novo branches in Washington or
acquire an in-state branch so long as the home state of the out-of-state bank
has reciprocal laws with respect to de novo branching or branch acquisitions

Under Wyoming law, banks located in Wyoming may be acquired by out-of-state
banks so long as (i) with certain exceptions, the resulting bank and its
affiliates would not control 30% or more of the total deposits held by all
insured depository institutions in Wyoming; and (ii) the in-state bank has been
in existence for at least three years. Branches may not be acquired or opened
separately in Wyoming by an out-of-state bank, but once an out-of-state bank has
acquired a bank within Wyoming, either through merger or acquisition of all or
substantially all of the bank's assets, the out-of-state bank may open
additional branches within Wyoming.

Under Colorado law, an out-of-state bank holding company may not acquire control
of, or acquire all or substantially all of the assets of, a Colorado bank unless
such bank has been in operation for at least five years. An out-of-state bank
holding company acquiring control of a Colorado bank holding company may acquire
control of any Colorado bank controlled by the Colorado bank holding company
even though such bank has been in operation for less than five years.

DIVIDENDS

The principal source of the Company's cash is dividends received from the Banks,
which are subject to government regulation and limitation. Regulatory
authorities may prohibit banks and bank holding companies from paying dividends
that would constitute an unsafe or unsound banking practice. In addition, a bank
may not pay cash dividends if that payment could reduce the amount of its
capital below that necessary to meet minimum applicable regulatory capital
requirements. State law and, in the case of Morgan, national banking laws and
related OCC regulations, limits a bank's ability to pay dividends that are
greater than a certain amount without approval of the applicable agency.

CAPITAL ADEQUACY

Regulatory Capital Guidelines. Federal bank regulatory agencies use capital
adequacy guidelines in the examination and regulation of bank holding companies
and banks. The guidelines are "risk-based," meaning that they are designed to
make capital requirements more sensitive to differences in risk profiles among
banks and bank holding companies.

Tier I and Tier II Capital. Under the guidelines, an institution's capital is
divided into two broad categories, Tier I capital and Tier II capital. Tier I
capital generally consists of common shareholders' equity, surplus, undivided
profits, and subordinated debentures. Tier II capital generally consists of the
allowance for loan and lease losses, hybrid capital instruments, and
subordinated debt. The sum of Tier I capital and Tier II capital represents an
institution's total capital. The guidelines require that at least 50% of an
institution's total capital consist of Tier I capital.

Risk-based Capital Ratios. The adequacy of an institution's capital is gauged
primarily with reference to the institution's risk-weighted assets. The
guidelines assign risk weightings to an institution's assets in an effort to
quantify the relative risk of each asset and to determine the minimum capital
required to support that risk. An institution's risk-weighted assets are then
compared with its Tier I capital and total capital to arrive at a Tier I
risk-based ratio and a total risk-based ratio, respectively. The guidelines
provide that an institution must have a minimum Tier I risk-based ratio of 4%
and a minimum total risk-based ratio of 8%.

Leverage Ratio. The guidelines also employ a leverage ratio, which is Tier I
capital as a percentage of total assets, less intangibles. The principal
objective of the leverage ratio is to constrain the maximum degree to which a
bank holding company may leverage its equity capital base. The minimum leverage
ratio is 3%; however, for all but the most highly rated bank holding companies
and for bank holding companies seeking to expand, regulators expect an
additional cushion of at least 1% to 2%.

Prompt Corrective Action. Under the guidelines, an institution is assigned to
one of five capital categories depending on its total risk-based capital ratio,
Tier I risk-based capital ratio, and leverage ratio, together with certain
subjective factors. The categories range

from "well capitalized" to "critically undercapitalized." Institutions that are"
undercapitalized" or lower are subject to certain mandatory supervisory
corrective actions.

In 2007, the federal banking agencies, including the FDIC and the Federal
Reserve, approved final rules to implement new risk-based capital requirements.
Presently, this new advanced capital adequacy framework, called Basel II, is
applicable only to large and internationally active banking organizations. Basel
II changes the existing risk-based capital framework by enhancing its risk
sensitivity. Whether Basel II will be expanded to apply to banking organizations
that are the size of the Company or its bank subsidiaries is unclear at this
time, and what effect such regulations would have cannot be predicted, but the
Company and the bank subsidiaries do not expect that their operations would be
significantly impacted.

RECENT LEGISLATION

EMERGENCY ECONOMIC STABILIZATION ACT OF 2008

In response to the recent financial crisis, the United States government passed
the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (the "EESA") on October 3,
2008, which provides the United States Treasury Department (the "Treasury") with
broad authority to implement certain actions intended to help restore stability
and liquidity to the U.S. financial markets.

Insurance of Deposit Accounts.

Deposit accounts are insured by the FDIC, generally up to a maximum of $100,000
per separately insured depositor and up to a maximum of $250,000 for
self-directed retirement accounts. However, the EESA included a provision for a
temporary increase from $100,000 to $250,000 in deposit insurance per depositor
effective October 3, 2008 through December 31, 2009.

The FDIC imposes an assessment against institutions for deposit insurance. This
assessment is based on the risk category of the institution and ranges from 5 to
43 basis points of the institution's deposits. In December, 2008, the FDIC
adopted a rule that raises the current deposit insurance assessment rates
uniformly for all institutions by 7 basis points (to a range from 12 to 50 basis
points) for the first quarter of 2009. The rule also gives the FDIC the
authority to alter the way it calculates federal deposit insurance assessment
rates beginning in the second quarter of 2009 and thereafter.

In 2006, federal deposit insurance reform legislation was enacted that (i)
required the FDIC to merge the Bank Insurance Fund and the Savings Association
Insurance Fund into a newly created Deposit Insurance Fund; (ii) increases the
amount of deposit insurance coverage for retirement accounts; (iii) allows for
deposit insurance coverage on individual accounts to be indexed for inflation
starting in 2010; (iv) provides the FDIC more flexibility in setting and
imposing deposit insurance assessments; and (v) provides eligible institutions
credits on future assessments.

Troubled Asset Relief Program

Pursuant to the EESA, the Treasury has the ability to purchase or insure up to
$700 billion in troubled assets held by financial institutions under the
Troubled Asset Relief Program ("TARP"). On October 14, 2008, the Treasury
announced it would initially purchase equity stakes in financial institutions
under a Capital Purchase Program (the "CPP") of up to $350 billion of the $700
billion authorized under the TARP legislation. The CPP provides direct equity
investment of perpetual preferred stock by the Treasury in qualified financial
institutions. The program is voluntary and requires an institution to comply
with a number of restrictions and provisions, including limits on executive
compensation, stock redemptions and declaration of dividends. The Company
received approval for, but determined not to participate in the CPP in light of
its successful sale of common stock in November 2008.

Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program

In October 2008, the FDIC announced the Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program,
which has two components--the Debt Guarantee Program and the Transaction Account
Guarantee Program. Under the Transaction Account Guarantee Program any
participating depository institution is able to provide full deposit insurance
coverage for non-interest bearing transaction accounts, regardless of the dollar
amount. Non-interest bearing transaction accounts include demand accounts and
NOW accounts paying 50 basis points or less. Under the program, effective
November 14, 2008, insured depository institutions that have not opted out of
the FDIC Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program will be subject to a 0.10%
surcharge applied to non-interest bearing transaction deposit account balances
in excess of $250,000, which surcharge will be added to the institution's
existing risk-based deposit insurance assessments. Under the Debt Guarantee
Program, qualifying unsecured senior debt issued by a participating institution
can be guaranteed by the FDIC. The Company and its bank subsidiaries chose to
participate in both components of the FDIC Temporary Liquidity Guaranty Program.

Proposed Legislation

As indicated by Treasury in 2009, additional potential legislation to be
promulgated under the EESA is pending, which among other things is expected to
inject more capital from Treasury into financial institutions through the
Capital Assistance Program, establish a public-private investment fund for the
purchase of troubled assets, and expand the Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan
Facility to include commercial mortgage-backed securities.

Proposed legislation is introduced in almost every legislative session that
would dramatically affect the regulation of the banking industry. In light of
the 2008 financial crisis and a new administration in the White House, it is
anticipated that legislation reshaping the regulatory landscape could be
proposed in 2009. The Company cannot predict if any such legislation will be
adopted or if it is adopted how it would affect the business of the Company or
the Banks. Past history has demonstrated that new legislation or changes to
existing laws or regulations usually results in a greater compliance burden and
therefore generally increases the cost of doing business.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND ACCOUNTING LEGISLATION

Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the "Act")
addresses, among other things, corporate governance, auditing and accounting,
enhanced and timely disclosure of corporate information, and penalties for
non-compliance. Generally, the Act (i) requires chief executive officers and
chief financial officers to certify to the accuracy of periodic reports filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"); (ii) imposes specific
and enhanced corporate disclosure requirements; (iii) accelerates the time frame
for reporting of insider transactions and periodic disclosures by public
companies; (iv) requires companies to adopt and disclose information about
corporate governance practices, including whether or not they have adopted a
code of ethics for senior financial officers and whether the audit committee
includes at least one "audit committee financial expert;" and (v) requires the
SEC, based on certain enumerated factors, to regularly and systematically review
corporate filings.

To deter wrongdoing, the Act: (i) subjects bonuses issued to top executives to
disgorgement if a restatement of a company's financial statements was due to
corporate misconduct; (ii) prohibits an officer or director misleading or
coercing an auditor; (iii) prohibits insider trades during retirement plan
"blackout periods"; (iv) imposes new criminal penalties for fraud and other
wrongful acts; and (v) extends the period during which certain securities fraud
lawsuits can be brought against a company or its officers.

As a publicly reporting company, the Company is subject to the requirements of
the Act and related rules and regulations issued by the SEC and NASDAQ. After
enactment, the Company updated its policies and procedures to comply with the
Act's requirements and has found that such compliance, including compliance with
Section 404 of the Act relating to management control over financial reporting,
has resulted in significant additional expense for the Company. The Company
anticipates that it will continue to incur such additional expense in its
ongoing compliance.

ANTI-TERRORISM LEGISLATION

The Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to
Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001, intended to combat terrorism, was
renewed with certain amendments in 2006 (the "Patriot Act"). Certain provisions
of the Patriot Act were made permanent and other sections were made subject to
extended "sunset" provisions. The Patriot Act, in relevant part, (i) prohibits
banks from providing correspondent accounts directly to foreign shell banks;
(ii) imposes due diligence requirements on banks opening or holding accounts for
foreign financial institutions or wealthy foreign individuals; (iii) requires
financial institutions to establish an anti-money-laundering compliance program;
and (iv) eliminates civil liability for persons who file suspicious activity
reports. The Act also includes provisions providing the government with power to
investigate terrorism, including expanded government access to bank account
records. While the Patriot Act has had minimal affect on the Company's and the
bank subsidiaries record keeping and reporting expenses, it is likely that the
renewal and amendment will not have a material adverse effect on business or
operations.

FINANCIAL SERVICES MODERNIZATION

Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999. The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Financial Services
Modernization Act of 1999 brought about significant changes to the laws
affecting banks and bank holding companies. Generally, the Act (i) repeals the
historical restrictions on preventing banks from affiliating with securities
firms; (ii) provides a uniform framework for the activities of banks, savings
institutions and their holding companies; (iii) broadens the activities that may
be conducted by national banks and banking subsidiaries of bank holding
companies; (iv) provides an enhanced framework for protecting the privacy of
consumer information and requires notification to consumers of bank privacy
policies; and (v) addresses a variety of other legal and regulatory issues
affecting both day-to-day operations and long-term activities of financial
institutions. Bank holding companies that qualify and elect to become financial
holding companies can engage in a wider variety of financial activities than
permitted under previous law, particularly with respect to insurance and
securities underwriting activities.

Financial Services Regulatory Relief Act of 2006. In 2006, the Financial
Services Regulatory Relief Act of 2006 became law (the "Relief Act"). The Relief
Act amends several existing banking laws and regulations, eliminates some
unnecessary and overly burdensome regulations of depository institutions and
clarifies several existing regulations. The Relief Act, among other things, (i)
authorizes the Federal Reserve Board to set reserve ratios; (ii) amends national
banks regulations relating to shareholder voting and granting of dividends;
(iii) amends several provisions relating to such issues as loans to insiders,
regulatory applications, privacy notices, and golden parachute payments; and
(iv) expands and clarifies the enforcement authority of federal banking
regulators. The Company's and the bank subsidiaries' business, expenses, and
operations have not been significantly impacted by this legislation.

REGULATORY OVERSIGHT AND EXAMINATION

The Federal Reserve conducts periodic inspections of bank holding companies,
which are performed both onsite and offsite. The supervisory objectives of the
inspection program are to ascertain whether the financial strength of the bank
holding company is being maintained on an ongoing basis and to determine the
effects or consequences of transactions between a holding company or its
non-banking subsidiaries and its bank subsidiaries. For holding companies under
$10 billion in assets, the inspection type and frequency varies depending on
asset size, complexity of the organization, and the holding company's rating at
its last inspection.

Banks are subject to periodic examinations by their primary regulators. Bank
examinations have evolved from reliance on transaction testing in assessing a
bank's condition to a risk-focused approach. These examinations are extensive
and cover the entire breadth of operations of the bank. Generally, safety and
soundness examinations occur on an 18-month cycle for banks under $500 million
in total assets that are well capitalized and without regulatory issues, and
12-months otherwise. Examinations alternate between the federal and state bank
regulatory agency or may occur on a combined schedule. The frequency of consumer
compliance and CRA examinations is linked to the size of the institution and its
compliance and CRA ratings at its most recent examinations. However, the
examination authority of the Federal Reserve and the FDIC allows them to examine
supervised banks as frequently as deemed necessary based on the condition of the
bank or as a result of certain triggering events.

EFFECTS OF GOVERNMENT MONETARY POLICY

The Company's earnings and growth are affected by general economic conditions
and by the fiscal and monetary policies of the federal government, particularly
the Federal Reserve. The Federal Reserve implements a national monetary policy
for such purposes as curbing inflation and combating recession, but its open
market operations in U.S. government securities, control of the discount rate
applicable to borrowings from the Federal Reserve, and establishment of reserve
requirements against certain deposits, influence the growth of bank loans,
investments and deposits, and also affect interest rates charged on loans or
paid on deposits. The Company cannot predict with certainty the nature and
impact of future changes in monetary policies, such as the recent lowering of
the Federal Reserve's discount rate, and their impact on the Company or the
Banks.

TAXATION

FEDERAL TAXATION

The Company files a consolidated federal income tax return, using the accrual
method of accounting. All required tax returns have been timely filed.

Financial institutions are subject to the provisions of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended, in the same general manner as other corporations. See
Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in "Item 8 - Financial
Statements and Supplementary Data" for additional information.

STATE TAXATION

Under Montana, Idaho, Colorado and Utah law, financial institutions are subject
to a corporation tax, which incorporates or is substantially similar to
applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. The corporation tax is
imposed on federal taxable income, subject to certain adjustments. State taxes
are incurred at the rate of 6.75 percent in Montana, 7.6 percent in Idaho, 5
percent in Utah and 4.63 percent in Colorado. Wyoming and Washington do not
impose a corporate tax.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

The Company and the Banks are exposed to certain risks. The following is a
discussion of the most significant risks and uncertainties that may affect the
business, financial condition and future results.

The effect of the national economic situation on the Company's future results of
operations or stock trading price.

The national economy, and the financial services sector in particular, is
currently facing challenges of a scope unprecedented in recent history. No one
can predict the severity or duration of this national downturn, which has
adversely impacted the markets the Company serves. Any deterioration in the
Company's markets resulting from the economic slowdown would have an adverse
effect on business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects,
and could also cause the trading price of the Company's stock to decline.

The effect of recently enacted and pending federal legislation.

On October 3, 2008, Congress enacted the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of
2008 ("EESA"), which provides the United States Treasury Department ("Treasury")
with broad authority to implement action intended to help restore stability and
liquidity to the US financial markets. Pursuant to the EESA, the Treasury has
the ability to purchase or insure up to $700 billion in troubled assets held by
financial institutions under the Troubled Asset Relief Program ("TARP") under
various programs. On October 14, 2008, the Treasury announced it would initially
purchase equity stakes in financial institutions under a Capital Purchase
Program (the "CPP") of up to $350 billion of the $700 billion authorized under
the TARP legislation. The CPP provides direct equity investment of perpetual
preferred stock by the Treasury in qualified financial institutions. The EESA
also increases the amount of deposit account insurance coverage from $100,000 to
$250,000 effective until December 31, 2009.

As indicated by the Treasury as of early 2009, additional potential related
legislation is pending, which among other things is expected to inject more
capital from the Treasury into financial institutions through the Capital
Assistance Program, establish a public-private investment fund for the purchase
of troubled assets, and expand the Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility to
include commercial mortgage backed-securities.

The full effect of the broad legislation already enacted and related legislation
expected to be enacted in the near future on the national economy and financial
institutions, particularly on mid-sized institutions like the Company, cannot
now be predicted.

Decline in the fair value of the Company's investment portfolio could adversely
affect earnings

Investment securities fair value could decline as a result of factors including
changes in market interest rate, credit quality and ratings, liquidity and other
economic conditions. Investment securities are impaired if the fair value of the
security is less than the carrying value. When a security is impaired, the
Company determines whether an impairment is temporary or other-than-temporary.
If an impairment is determined to be other-than-temporary, an impaired loss is
recognized by reducing the amortized cost basis to fair value and as a charge to
earnings. See critical accounting policies in "Item 7 - Management's Discussion
and Analysis" for additional information regarding other-than-temporary loss on
securities.

The Company's ability to access markets for funding and acquire and retain
customers could be adversely affected to the extent the financial service
industry's reputation is damaged.

Reputation risk is the risk to liquidity, earnings and capital arising from
negative publicity regarding the financial services industry. The financial
services industry continues to be featured in negative headlines about the
global and national credit crisis and the resulting stabilization legislation
enacted by the U.S. federal government. These reports can be damaging to the
industry's image and potentially erode consumer confidence in insured financial
institutions, such as the Company's bank subsidiaries.

The Company has a high concentration of loans secured by real estate.

The Company has a concentration of loans secured by real estate. While the
Pacific Northwest economy typically lags the national economy, the effects of
the economic downturn are now significantly impacting the Company's market area.
Further downturn in the market areas the Company serves may cause the Company to
have lower earnings and could increase credit risk associated with the loan
portfolio, as the collateral securing those loans may decrease in value. A
continued downturn in the local economy could have a material adverse effect
both on the borrowers' ability to repay these loans, as well as the value of the
real property held as collateral. The Company's ability to recover on defaulted
loans by foreclosing and selling the real estate collateral would then be
diminished and the Company would be more likely to suffer losses on defaulted
loans.

The Company's loan portfolio mix could result in increased credit risk in an
economic downturn.

The loan portfolio contains a high percentage of commercial, commercial real
estate, real estate acquisition and development loans in

relation to the total loans and total assets. These types of loans have
historically been viewed as having more risk of default than residential real
estate loans or certain other types of loans or investments. In fact, the FDIC
has issued pronouncements alerting banks of its concern about banks with a heavy
concentration of commercial real estate loans. These types of loans also
typically are larger than residential real estate loans and other commercial
loans. Because the Company's loan portfolio contains a significant number of
commercial and commercial real estate loans with relatively large balances, the
deterioration of one or more of these loans may cause a significant increase in
non-performing loans. An increase in non-performing loans could result in a loss
of earnings from these loans, an increase in the provision for loan losses, or
an increase in loan charge-offs, which could have an adverse impact on results
of operations and financial condition.

An economic downturn in the market areas the Company serves may cause the
Company to have lower earnings and could increase credit risk associated with
the loan portfolio.

The inability of borrowers to repay loans can erode earnings. Although the
adverse effects of the national economic downturn have not yet been experienced
in the Company's primary market areas to the extent of many other regions of the
country, there can be no assurance that the Company's markets areas will also
not deteriorate. A deterioration in economic conditions in the market areas the
Company serves could result in the following consequences, any of which could
have a material adverse impact on the Company's prospects, results of operations
and financial condition:

- loan delinquencies may increase further, migrating into the
substantial commercial real estate and business lending portfolios;

- collateral for loans made may decline further in value, in turn
reducing customers' borrowing power, reducing the value of assets and
collateral associated with existing loans;

- demand for banking products and services may decline; and

- low cost or non-interest bearing deposits may decrease.

The allowance for loan and lease losses may not be adequate to cover actual loan
losses, which could adversely affect earnings.

The Company maintains an ALLL in an amount that it believes is adequate to
provide for losses inherent in the portfolio. While the Company strives to
carefully manage and monitor credit quality and to identify loans that may
become nonperforming, at any time there are loans included in the portfolio that
will result in losses, but that have not been identified as nonperforming or
potential problem loans. By managing credit quality, the Company attempts to
identify deteriorating loans before they become nonperforming assets and adjust
the ALLL accordingly. However, because future events are uncertain, and if the
economy continues to deteriorate, there may be loans that deteriorate to a
nonperforming status in an accelerated time frame. As a result, future additions
to the ALLL may be necessary. Because the loan portfolio contains a number of
loans with relatively large balances, the deterioration of one or a few of these
loans may cause a significant increase in nonperforming loans, requiring an
increase to the ALLL. Additionally, future significant additions to the ALLL may
be required based on changes in the mix of loans comprising the portfolio,
changes in the financial condition of borrowers, such as may result from changes
in economic conditions, or as a result of incorrect assumptions by management in
determining the ALLL. Additionally, federal banking regulators, as an integral
part of their supervisory function, periodically review the Company's loan
portfolio and the adequacy of the ALLL. These regulatory agencies may require
the Company to recognize further loan loss provisions or charge-offs based upon
their judgments, which may be different from the Company's judgments. Any
increase in the ALLL could have a negative effect on the financial condition and
results of operation.

Fluctuating interest rates can adversely affect profitability.

The Company's profitability is dependent to a large extent upon net interest
income, which is the difference (or "spread") between the interest earned on
loans, securities and other interest-earning assets and interest paid on
deposits, borrowings, and other interest-bearing liabilities. Because of the
differences in maturities and repricing characteristics of interest-earning
assets and interest-bearing liabilities, changes in interest rates do not
produce equivalent changes in interest income earned on interest-earning assets
and interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities. Accordingly, fluctuations in
interest rates could adversely affect the Company's interest rate spread, and,
in turn, profitability. The Company seeks to manage its interest rate risk
within well established guidelines. Generally, the Company seeks an asset and
liability structure that insulates net interest income from large deviations
attributable to changes in market rates.

A continued tightening of the credit markets may make it difficult to obtain
adequate funding for loan growth, which could adversely affect earnings.

A continued tightening of the credit market and the inability to obtain or
retain adequate money to fund continued loan growth may negatively affect the
Company's asset growth and liquidity position and, therefore, earnings
capability. In addition to core deposit growth, maturity of investment
securities and loan payments, the Company also relies on alternative funding
sources through correspondent banking, and borrowing lines with the FRB and FHLB
to fund loans. In the event the current economic downturn continues,
particularly in the housing market, these resources could be negatively
affected, both as to price and availability, which would limit and or raise the
cost of the funds available to the Company.

If the goodwill recorded in connection with acquisitions becomes impaired, it
could have an adverse impact on earnings and capital.

Accounting standards require that the Company account for acquisitions using the
purchase method of accounting. Under purchase accounting, if the purchase price
of an acquired company exceeds the fair value of its net assets, the excess is
carried on the acquiror's balance sheet as goodwill. At December 31, 2008, there
was approximately $147 million of goodwill on the balance sheet. In accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles, goodwill is not amortized but
rather is evaluated for impairment on an annual basis or more frequently if
events or circumstances indicate that a potential impairment exists. Although at
the current time the Company has not incurred an impairment of goodwill, there
can be no assurance that future evaluations of goodwill will not result in
findings of impairment and write-downs, which could be material.

Growth through future acquisitions, which could, in some circumstances,
adversely affect profitability measures.

The Company has in recent years acquired other financial institutions. The
Company may in the future engage in selected acquisitions of additional
financial institutions, including transactions that may receive assistance from
the FDIC. There are risks associated with any such acquisitions that could
adversely affect profitability. These risks include, among other things,
incorrectly assessing the asset quality of a financial institution being
acquired, encountering greater than anticipated cost of incorporating acquired
businesses into the Company's operations, and being unable to profitably deploy
funds acquired in an acquisition.

The Company anticipates that it might issue capital stock in connection with
future acquisitions. Acquisitions and related issuances of stock may have a
dilutive effect on earnings per share and the percentage ownership of current
shareholders. The Company currently does not have any definitive understandings
or agreements for any acquisitions other than the agreement to acquire First
Company and its subsidiary First National Bank & Trust, a community bank based
in Powell, Wyoming. See Note 23 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in
"Item 8 - Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" for additional
information.

Competition in the Company's market areas may limit future success.

Commercial banking is a highly competitive business. The Company competes with
other commercial banks, savings and loan associations, credit unions, finance,
insurance and other non-depository companies operating in its market areas. The
Company is subject to substantial competition for loans and deposits from other
financial institutions. Some of its competitors are not subject to the same
degree of regulation and restriction as the Company is. Some of the Company's
competitors have greater financial resources than the Company does. If the
Company is unable to effectively compete in its market areas, the Company's
business, results of operations and prospects could be adversely affected.

The FDIC has increased insurance premiums to rebuild and maintain the federal
deposit insurance fund.

Based on recent events and the state of the economy, the FDIC has increased
federal deposit insurance premiums by 7 basis points for the first quarter of
2009. The increase of these premiums will add to the cost of operations and
could have a significant impact on the Company. New rules governing deposit
insurance premiums are expected to go into effect on April 1, 2009. These new
rules are intended to make assessments more balanced by requiring riskier
institutions to pay a larger share. Further, depending on any future losses that
the FDIC insurance fund may suffer in the current economic environment, there
can be no assurance that there will not be additional significant premium
increases in order to replenish the fund.

Business would be harmed if the Company lost the services of any of the senior
management team.

The Company believes its success to date has been substantially dependent on its
Chief Executive Officer and other members of the executive management team, and
on the Presidents of its bank subsidiaries. The loss of any of these persons
could have an adverse affect on the Company's business and future growth
prospects.

The Company operates in a highly regulated environment and may be adversely
affected by changes in federal state and local laws and regulations.

The Company is subject to extensive regulation, supervision and examination by
federal and state banking authorities. Any change in applicable regulations or
federal, state or local legislation could have a substantial impact on the
Company and its operations. Additional legislation and regulations that could
significantly affect the Company's powers, authority and operations may be
enacted or adopted in the future, which could have a material adverse effect on
the Company's financial condition and results of operations. Further, regulators
have significant discretion and authority to prevent or remedy unsafe or unsound
practices or violations of laws or regulations by financial institutions and
holding companies in the performance of their supervisory and enforcement
duties. These powers recently have been utilized more frequently due to the
serious national, regional and local economic conditions the Company is facing.
The exercise of regulatory authority may have a negative impact on the Company's
financial condition and results of operations.

OF OPERATIONS

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2008 COMPARED TO DECEMBER 31, 2007

The following discussion is intended to provide a more comprehensive review of
the Company's operating results and financial condition than can be obtained
from reading the Consolidated Financial Statements alone. The discussion should
be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes
thereto included later in this report.

HIGHLIGHTS AND OVERVIEW

On December 1, 2008, the Company acquired San Juans which accounted for an
increase in total assets of $158 million, including loans, net of the related
ALLL, of $139 million, and deposits of $119 million. The acquisition was the
first entry into the state of Colorado for the Company. On April 30, 2008,
Whitefish merged into Glacier with operations conducted under the Glacier
charter. Prior period activity of Whitefish has been combined and included in
Glacier's historical results.

The Company experienced strong loan growth with gross loans outstanding
increasing by $519 million, or 14 percent from the prior year. Without the
acquisition, loans increased $377 million, or 10 percent. Investments, including
interest bearing deposits and fed funds sold, increased $218 million, or 28
percent, from the prior year.

Non-interest bearing deposits decreased $41 million, or 5 percent, during the
year. The Company increased interest bearing deposits by $119 million, or 5
percent. The acquisition of San Juans contributed $22 million and $97 million of
the non-interest bearing and interest-bearing deposit growth, respectively. FHLB
advances and U. S. Treasury Tax & Loan decreased $200 million and $215 million,
respectively, while FRB discount window increased $914 million for a net
increase of $499 million as a result of the increase in loan growth exceeding
the deposit growth.

Stockholders' equity increased $148 million, or 28 percent, during the year and
the Company and each of the bank subsidiaries have remained above the well
capitalized levels required by regulators. The primary reasons for the increase
include the $94 million common stock offering, earnings retention, acquisition
of San Juans, and stock options exercised.

Net earnings for 2008 were $65.657 million, which is a decrease of $2.946
million, or 4 percent, over the prior year. Diluted earnings per share of $1.19
is a decrease of 7 percent from the $1.28 earned in 2007. Included in net
earnings for 2008 is a nonrecurring charge of $4.602 million ($7.6 million
pre-tax) for other than temporary impairment with respect to investments in
Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("Freddie Mac") preferred stock and
Federal National Mortgage Association ("Fannie Mae") common stock and a
nonrecurring gain of $1.0 million ($1.7 million pre-tax) from the sale and
relocation of Mountain West's office facility in Ketchum, Idaho. Included in
2007 net earnings is a nonrecurring $1.0 million gain ($1.6 million pre-tax)
from the sale of Western's Lewistown, Montana branch.

Net interest income for 2008 increased $29 million, or 16 percent, over the
prior year. The net interest margin as a percentage of earning assets, on a tax
equivalent basis, was 4.70 percent, an increase of 20 basis points over the 4.50
percent for 2007.

Excluding nonrecurring items, the efficiency ratio (non-interest expense / net
interest income plus non-interest income) decreased from 56 percent to 52
percent during 2008, a four percentage point improvement.

Looking forward, the Company's future performance will depend on many factors
including economic conditions, including the markets the Company serves,
interest rate changes, increasing competition for deposits and quality loans,
and regulatory burden. The Company's goal of its asset and liability management
practices is to maintain or increase the level of net interest income within an
acceptable level of interest rate risk.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

ASSETS

The results of operations and financial condition include the acquisition of San
Juans from December 1, 2008. Cash of $9.0 million and 640,000 shares of the
Company's common stock were issued in the acquisition. The Company is currently
evaluating the fair values of the assets and liabilities acquired. Adjustment of
the allocated purchase price may be required for pre-acquisition contingencies
of the acquired entity known or discovered during the allocation period, the
period of time required to identify and measure the fair values of the assets
and liabilities acquired in the business combination. The allocation period is
generally limited to one year following consummation of a business combination.

The following table provides information on selected classifications of assets
and liabilities acquired:

The deposits have decreased from 66.1 percent at December 31, 2007 to 58.7
percent at December 31, 2008. Although the Banks remain focused on growing and
retaining deposits, the increased need for funding asset growth was met with
alternative low cost borrowings. This resulted in the change in the percentage
relationships among the funding sources since prior year. Stockholders' equity
as a percentage of total liabilities and stockholders' equity increased
throughout the year, primarily a result of the $94 million common stock
offering, the acquisition of San Juans and retention of earnings.

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income for the current year increased $29 million, or 16 percent,
over the same period in 2007. Total interest income decreased $1.8 million, or 1
percent, for the current year, while total interest expense decreased $31
million, or 25 percent, over the same period in 2007. The decrease in interest
expense is primarily attributable to the rate decreases on interest bearing
deposits and lower cost borrowings. The net interest margin as a percentage of
earning assets, on a tax equivalent basis, was 4.70 percent, an increase of 20
basis points from the 4.50 percent for the same period in 2007.

NON-INTEREST INCOME

Total non-interest income decreased $4 million, or 6 percent in 2008. Excluding
the current year nonrecurring items, consisting of the $7.6 million charge for
other than temporary impairment on the Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae securities,
the $1.7 million gain from the sale and relocation of Mountain West's branch in
Ketchum, Idaho, the first quarter $248 thousand combined gain from the sale of
Principal Financial Group stock and mandatory redemption of a portion of Visa,
Inc. shares, and also excluding the prior year nonrecurring $1.6 million gain
from the first quarter sale of Western's Lewistown, Montana branch, non-interest
income for 2008 increased $3.5 million from the same period in 2007. Fee income
increased $2 million, or 4 percent, over last year, driven primarily by an
increased number of loan and deposit accounts, as well as additional products
and service offerings. Gain on sale of loans increased $2 million, or 12

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE

Non-interest expense increased in 2008 by $8 million, or 6 percent, compared to
2007. Included in 2007 is approximately $500,000 of non-recurring expenses and
costs, including overtime, associated with the January 2007 merger of three of
the five CDC subsidiaries into the Company's subsidiaries, and related operating
system conversions. Compensation and employee benefit expense increased $3
million, or 4 percent, from 2007, such increase attributable to the increase in
full-time equivalent employees from 1,480 to 1,571 in 2008. Occupancy and
equipment expense increased $3 million, or 13 percent, while other expenses
increased $2 million, or 8 percent, since December 31, 2007, reflecting the
addition of San Juans in December, cost of additional locations and facility
upgrades. Advertising and promotion

expense increased $683 thousand, or 11 percent, from 2007, due primarily to
branch promotions and the banks continuing focus on attracting and retaining
non-interest bearing and other low cost deposits.

PROVISION FOR LOAN AND LEASE LOSSES

At December 31, 2008, the ALLL was $76.739 million, an increase of $22 million,
or 41 percent, from a year ago. The provision for loan and lease loss expense
was $28.5 million for 2008, an increase of $21.8 million, or 326 percent, from
2007. Net charged-off loans for the year were $8.779 million, compared to $2.165
million of net charged-off loans during 2007. Loan portfolio growth,
composition, average loan size, credit quality considerations, and other
environmental factors will determine the level of additional provision expense.

Non-performing assets as a percentage of the Bank's assets at December 31, 2008
were 1.46 percent, up from .27 percent at December 31, 2007. These ratios
compare favorably to the FRB peer group average of 1.97 percent at December 31,
2008 and the peer group average of .80 percent at December 31, 2007. Most of the
Company's non-performing assets are secured by real estate. Based on the most
current information available to management, including updated appraisals where
appropriate, the Company believes the value of the underlying real estate
collateral is adequate to minimize significant charge-offs or loss to the
Company. For collateral dependent loans, impairment is measured by the fair
value of the collateral.

The allowance was 1.86 percent of total loans outstanding at December 31, 2008,
up from 1.51 percent at December 31, 2007. The allowance was 91 percent of
non-performing assets at December 31, 2008, down from 409 percent a year ago.

NET INTEREST INCOME

Net interest income for the year increased $25.181 million, or 16 percent, over
2006. Total interest income increased $51.434 million, or 20 percent, while
total interest expense increased $26.253 million, or 28 percent. The increase in
interest expense is primarily attributable to the volume and rate increases in
interest bearing deposits. The net interest margin as a percentage of earning
assets, on a tax equivalent basis, was 4.50 percent which is an increase of 6
basis points over the 4.44 percent for 2006. The net interest margin calculation
has been revised to account for intercompany elimination entries and previously
reported net interest margins have been adjusted to reflect such change.

NON-INTEREST INCOME

Total non-interest income increased $12.976 million, or 25 percent in 2007. Fee
income increased $8.414 million, or 23 percent, over last year, driven primarily
by an increased number of loan and deposit accounts, acquisitions, and
additional customer products and services offered. Gain on sale of loans
increased $2.464 million, or 23 percent, from last year. Loan origination
volume, especially in the first half of 2007, was robust versus historical
standards. Other income increased $2.103 million, or 53 percent, over the same
period in 2006. Such increase includes a gain of $1.6 million from the January
19, 2007 sale of Western's Lewistown branch, a regulatory requirement imposed to
complete the acquisition of CDC.

NON-INTEREST EXPENSE

Non-interest expense increased by $25.367 million, or 23 percent, from 2006.
Compensation and benefit expense increased $13.651 million, or 21 percent, which
is primarily attributable to increased staffing levels, including staffing from
the acquisitions of Morgan and CDC during 2006 and North Side in 2007, de novo
branches, increased compensation, including production based commissions, and
benefits, including health insurance, and overtime associated with the merger
and operating systems conversions in the first half of 2007. Included in 2007
are approximately $500,000 of non-recurring expenses and costs associated with
the January 26, 2007 merger of three of the five CDC subsidiaries into the
Company's subsidiaries. Occupancy and equipment expense increased $3.884
million, or 25 percent, reflecting the acquisitions, cost of additional
locations and facility upgrades. Other expenses increased $6.687 million, or 25
percent, primarily from acquisitions, additional marketing expenses, costs
associated with new branch offices and other general and administrative costs.
The efficiency ratio (non-interest expense/net interest income plus non-interest
income) increased to 56 percent from 54 percent during 2006.

were .27 percent, up from .19 percent at December 31, 2006. These ratios compare
favorably to the FRB Peer Group average of .80 percent at December 31, 2007. The
ALLL was 409 percent of non-performing assets at December 31, 2007, down from
554 percent a year ago. The allowance, including $639 thousand from
acquisitions, has increased $5.2 million, or 10.5 percent, from a year ago. The
allowance of $54.413 million is 1.51 percent of December 31, 2007 total loans
outstanding, down from 1.53 percent in the fourth quarter last year. The
provision for loan loss expense was $6.680 million for 2007, an increase of
$1.488 million, from 2006. Net charged off loans were $2.165 million, or .06
percent of loans, for 2007 which is higher than the $680 thousand of net charge
offs, or .02 percent, in 2006. Loan growth, average loan size, and credit
quality considerations will determine the level of additional provision expense.

ADDITIONAL MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

EFFECT OF INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES

Generally accepted accounting principles require the measurement of financial
position and operating results in terms of historical dollars, without
consideration for change in relative purchasing power over time due to
inflation. Virtually all assets of a financial institution are monetary in
nature; therefore, interest rates generally have a more significant impact on a
company's performance than does the effect of inflation.

COMMITMENTS

In the normal course of business, there are various outstanding commitments to
extend credit, such as letter of credits and un-advanced loan commitments, and
lease obligation commitments, which are not reflected in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements. Management does not anticipate any material
losses as a result of these transactions. The Company has outstanding debt
maturities, the largest of which are FRB discount window and FHLB advances. For
the maturity schedule of advances and schedule of future minimum rental payments
see Notes 8 and 19, respectively, to the Consolidated Financial Statements in
"Item 8 - Financial Statements and Supplementary Data."

The following table represents the Company's contractual obligations as of
December 31, 2008:

MARKET RISK

Market risk is the risk of loss in a financial instrument arising from adverse
changes in market rates/prices such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange
rates, commodity prices, and equity prices. The Company's primary market risk
exposure is interest rate risk. The ongoing monitoring and management of this
risk is an important component of the Company's asset/liability management
process which is governed by policies established by its Board of Directors that
are reviewed and approved annually. The Board of Directors delegates
responsibility for carrying out the asset/liability management policies to the
Asset/Liability Committee (ALCO). In this capacity, ALCO develops guidelines and
strategies impacting the Company's asset/liability management related activities
based upon estimated market risk sensitivity, policy limits and overall market
interest rate levels/trends.

INTEREST RATE RISK

The objective of interest rate risk management is to contain the risks
associated with interest rate fluctuations. The process involves identification
and management of the sensitivity of net interest income to changing interest
rates. Managing interest rate risk is not an exact science. The interval between
repricing of interest rates of assets and liabilities changes from day to day as
the assets and liabilities change. For some assets and liabilities, contractual
maturity and the actual cash flows experienced are not the same. A good example
is residential mortgages that have long term contractual maturities but may be
repaid well in advance of the maturity when current prevailing interest rates
become lower than the contractual rate. Interest-bearing deposits without a
stated maturity could be withdrawn after seven days. However, the Banks'
experience indicates that these funding pools have a much longer duration and
are not as sensitive to interest rate changes as other financial instruments.
Prime based loans generally have rate changes when the FRB changes short term
interest rates. However, depending on the magnitude of the rate change and the
relationship of the current rates to rate floors and rate ceilings that may be
in place on the loans, the loan rate may not change.

GAP ANALYSIS

The following table gives a description of our GAP position for various time
periods. As of December 31, 2008, the Company had a negative GAP position at six
months and a negative GAP position at twelve months. The cumulative GAP as a
percentage of total assets for six months is a negative 14.07 percent which
compares to a negative 8.67 percent at December 31, 2007 and a negative 6.11
percent at December 31, 2006. The table also shows the GAP earnings sensitivity,
and earnings sensitivity ratio, along with a brief description as to how they
are calculated. The methodology used to compile this GAP information is based on
the Company's mix of assets and liabilities and the historical experience
accumulated regarding their rate sensitivity.

(2) Gap Earnings Sensitivity Ratio is Gap Earnings Sensitivity divided by the
2008 net earnings of $65,657. A 1 percent increase in interest rates has
this estimated percentage decrease on annual net earnings.

This table estimates the repricing maturities of the Company's assets and
liabilities, based upon the Company's assessment of the repricing
characteristics of the various instruments. Interest-bearing checking and
regular savings are included in the categories that reflect the interest rate
sensitivity of the individual programs and if the deposits are not clearly rate
sensitive, the deposits are included in the more than 5 years category. Money
market balances are included in the less than 6 months category. Mortgage-backed
securities are categorized based on the anticipated principal payments.

NET INTEREST INCOME SIMULATION

The traditional one-dimensional view of GAP is not sufficient to show a bank's
ability to withstand interest rate changes. Because of limitations in GAP
modeling the ALCO of the Company uses a detailed and dynamic simulation model to
quantify the estimated exposure of net interest income (NII) to sustained
interest rate changes. While ALCO routinely monitors simulated NII sensitivity
over a rolling two-year horizon, it also utilizes additional tools to monitor
potential longer-term interest rate risk. The simulation model captures the
impact of changing interest rates on the interest income received and interest
expense paid on all assets and liabilities reflected on the Company's statement
of financial condition. This sensitivity analysis is compared to ALCO policy
limits which specify a maximum tolerance level for NII exposure over a one year
horizon, assuming no balance sheet growth, given a 200 basis point (bp) upward
and 200bp or 100bp downward shift in interest rates. A parallel and pro rata
shift in rates over a 12-month period is assumed as a benchmark. Other
non-parallel rate movement scenarios are also modeled to determine the potential
impact on net interest income. The following reflects the Company's NII
sensitivity analysis as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 as compared to the 10
percent policy limit approved by the Company's and Banks' Board of Directors.

2008 2007

Estimated sensitivity....................... -4.6% -2.8%
Estimated decrease in net interest income... $(9,950) (5,155)

Estimated increase in net interest income... $ 2,381 2,770

(1) -100bp and -200 bp for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007,
respectively.

The preceding sensitivity analysis does not represent a forecast and should not
be relied upon as being indicative of expected operating results. These
hypothetical estimates are based upon numerous assumptions including: the nature
and timing of interest rate levels including yield curve shape, prepayments on
loans and securities, deposit decay rates, pricing decisions on loans and
deposits, reinvestment/replacement of assets and liability cash flows, and
others. While assumptions are developed based upon current economic and local
market conditions, the Company cannot make any assurances as to the predictive
nature of these assumptions including how customer preferences or competitor
influences might change. Also, as market conditions vary from those assumed in
the sensitivity analysis, actual results will also differ due to
prepayment/refinancing levels likely deviating from those assumed, the varying
impact of interest rate change caps or floors on adjustable rate assets, the
potential effect of changing debt service levels on customers with adjustable
rate loans, depositor early withdrawals and product preference changes, and
other internal/external variables. Furthermore, the sensitivity analysis does
not reflect actions that ALCO might take in responding to or anticipating
changes in interest rates.

LIQUIDITY RISK

Liquidity risk is the possibility that the Company will not be able to fund
present and future obligations. The objective of liquidity management is to
maintain cash flows adequate to meet current and future needs for credit demand,
deposit withdrawals, maturing liabilities and corporate operating expenses. The
principal source of the Company's cash revenues are dividends received from the
Company's bank subsidiaries. The payment of dividends is subject to government
regulation, in that regulatory authorities may prohibit banks and bank holding
companies from paying dividends which would constitute an unsafe or unsound
banking practice. The bank subsidiaries' source of funds is generated by
deposits, principal and interest payments on loans, sale of loans and
securities, short and long-term borrowings, and net earnings. In addition, all
of the bank subsidiaries are members of the FHLB. As of December 31, 2008, the
bank subsidiaries had $774 million of available FHLB credit of which $338
million was utilized. The banking subsidiaries may also borrow funds from the
FRB discount window or from the U.S. Treasury Tax and Loan program of which the
banks have remaining borrowing availability of $302 million and $409 million,
respectively. Management of the Company has a wide range of versatility in
managing the liquidity and asset/liability mix for each bank subsidiary as well
as the Company as a whole.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND ADEQUACY

Maintaining capital strength has been a long term objective. Ample capital is
necessary to sustain growth, provide protection against unanticipated declines
in asset values, and to safeguard the funds of depositors. Capital also is a
source of funds for loan demand and enables the Company to effectively manage
its assets and liabilities. Shareholders' equity increased $148 million during
2008, or 28 percent, the net result of earnings of $66 million, a public
offering of stock of $94 million, common stock issued for the acquisition of San
Juans, stock options exercised, less cash dividend payments and a decrease of $4
million resulting from the net unrealized losses on available-for-sale
investment securities. The FRB has adopted capital adequacy guidelines pursuant
to which it assesses the adequacy of capital in supervising a bank holding
company.

The following table illustrates the FRB capital adequacy guidelines and the
Company's compliance with those guidelines as of December 31, 2008.

For additional information see Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements
in "Item 8 - Financial Statements and Supplementary Data." Dividend payments
were increased by $.02 per share, or 4 percent in 2008. The payment of dividends
is subject to government regulation in that regulatory authorities may prohibit
banks and bank holding companies from paying dividends that would constitute an
unsafe or unsound banking practice.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States often requires
management to use significant judgments as well as subjective and/or complex
measurements in making estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. The Company considers its
accounting policy for the ALLL and determination of whether an investment
security is temporarily or other-than-temporarily impaired to be its only
critical accounting policies.

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN AND LEASE LOSSES ACCOUNTING POLICY AND ANALYSIS

The balance of the ALLL is an estimate of probable credit losses that have
occurred in the loan and lease portfolio as of the date of the consolidated
financial statements before losses have been confirmed. The balance of the ALLL
is highly dependent upon management's internal risk classifications, evaluations
of borrowers' current and prospective performance, appraisals and other
variables affecting the quality of the loan and lease portfolio. Changes in
management's estimates and assumptions are reasonably possible and may have a
material impact upon the Company's consolidated financial statements, results of
operations or liquidity.

It is the Company's policy to provide an ALLL for estimated losses on loans and
leases based upon past loss experience, adjusted for changes in trends and
conditions of certain items, including:

- Adverse situations that may affect specific borrowers' ability to
repay;

- Current collateral values, where appropriate;

- Delinquencies and non-performing loans;

- Amount and timing of future cash flows expected on impaired loans;

- Criticized and classified loans;

- Credit concentrations by credit type, industry, geography;

- Recoveries and dispositions of balances previously charge-off;

- Volume and terms of loans;

- Loan size and complexity;

- Competition and bank size;

- Local market areas and national economic conditions;

- Effects of changes in lending policies and procedures;

- Experience, ability, and depth of lending management and credit
administration staff; and

- Effects of legal and regulatory developments.

Individually significant loans and major lending areas are reviewed periodically
to determine potential problems at an early date. The ALLL is increased by
charges to earnings and decreased by charge-offs (net of recoveries). For
additional information regarding the ALLL, its relation to the provision for
loan and lease losses and risk related to asset quality, see Note 4 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements in "Item 8 - Financial Statements and
Supplementary Data."

OTHER-THAN-TEMPORARY LOSS ON SECURITIES ACCOUNTING POLICY AND ANALYSIS

The Company views the determination of whether an investment security is
temporarily or other-than-temporarily impaired as a critical accounting policy,
as the estimate is susceptible to significant change from period to period
because it requires management to make significant judgments, assumptions and
estimates in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements. The
Company assesses individual securities in its investment securities portfolio
for impairment at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic
or market conditions warrant. An investment is impaired if the fair value of the
security is less than its carrying value at the financial statement date. If
impairment is determined to be other-than-temporary, an impairment loss is
recognized by reducing the amortized cost basis to fair value and as a charge to
earnings.

Management considers whether an investment security is other-than-temporarily
impaired under the guidance promulgated in FSP SFAS 115 and SFAS 124-1, "The
Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain
Investments" and the guidance from the Securities and Exchange Commission found
in Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5M.

In evaluating impaired securities for other-than-temporary impairment losses,
management considers, among other things, (i) the severity and duration of the
impairment, (ii) the credit ratings of the security, (iii) the overall deal
structure, including the Company's position within the structure, the overall
and near term financial performance of the issuer and underlying collateral,
delinquencies, defaults, loss severities, recoveries, prepayments, cumulative
loss projections, discounted cash flows and fair value estimates. The Company
also considers its intent and ability to retain the investment security for a
period of time sufficient to allow for anticipated recovery in fair value. In so
doing, the Company considers (i) contractual constraints, liquidity and capital
needs of the Company, and (ii) management's approach to managing the investment
portfolio including intent, if any, to dispose of impaired investment securities
in periods subsequent to the impairment analysis date.

The Company believes that macroeconomic conditions occurring in 2008 have
unfavorably impacted the fair value of certain debt securities in its investment
portfolio. For securities with limited or inactive markets, the impact of these
macroeconomic conditions upon fair value estimates includes higher risk-adjusted
discount rates and downgrades in credit ratings provided by nationally
recognized credit rating agencies, (e.g., Moody's, S&P, and Fitch).

Equity securities owned at year end 2008 consisted of stock issued by the
Federal Home Loan Bank and the Federal Reserve Bank, such shares measured at
cost for fair value purposes in recognition of the transferability restrictions
imposed by the issuers. In

addition, the Company owns 150,000 shares of Series O preferred stock issued by
Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac) and 1,200 shares of common
stock issued by the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae). The
Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae stock had a cost basis of $0 at year end due to the
recognition of an other-than-temporary impairment charge against earnings at
September 30, 2008 for the entire amount of the Company's investment therein.
Hence, none of the equity securities were impaired at year end 2008.

As of December 31, 2008, the Company's investment portfolio had 268 debt
securities, the fair values of which had declined below amortized cost by
$16.271 million, or 6%, of the value of temporarily impaired investment
securities. The Company stratified the 268 debt securities for both severity and
duration of impairment. With respect to severity, 83 debt securities had
impairment that exceeded 5 percent of the respective book values, of which 13
had impairment that exceeded 15 percent of the respective book values at year
end 2008. 3 of the 83 debt securities had impairment that exceeded 30 percent of
the respective book values at year end 2008, the aggregate unrealized loss of
which was $1,665,000. The remaining 193 debt securities had impairment that was
5 percent or less of the respective book values as of year end 2008.

With respect to duration of the impairment, the Company identified 14 debt
securities which have been continuously impaired during 2008. The valuation
history of such securities in the prior year(s) was also reviewed to determine
the number of months in prior year(s) in which the identified securities were in
an unrealized loss position. The most notable of these 14 securities is a
non-guaranteed, non-Agency CMO which had an unrealized loss of $505,000. 12 of
the 14 securities are mortgage-backed securities issued by U.S. government
sponsored agencies, i.e., GNMA, FNMA, FHLMC and SBA, the aggregate unrealized
loss of which was $186,000.

Among the 268 debt securities with impairment at year end 2008 are 18
non-guaranteed, non-Agency issued CMO tranches, each of which have been
continuously rated AAA since inception. 11 of the 18 CMOs tranches are
collateralized by 30 year fixed residential mortgages considered to be "Prime,"
and 7 are collateralized by 30 year fixed residential mortgages considered to be
"ALT - A." Moreover, none of the underlying mortgage collateral is considered
"subprime."

In assessing the various factors identified above, the Company evaluated the
fair value estimates provided by third party vendors, including models and
methodology, for appropriate consideration of both observable and unobservable
inputs, including appropriately adjusted discount rates and credit spreads for
securities with limited or inactive markets. The Company obtained independent
estimates of inputs, including cash flows, in supplement to third party vendor
provided information. The Company also reviewed financial statements of issuers,
with follow up discussions with issuers' management for clarification and
verification of information relevant to the Company's impairment analysis.

With respect to the Company's intent and ability to hold the securities impaired
at December 31, 2008, the Company had no present intent to sell any of such
securities. During 2008, the Company also continued its historical approach to
managing the investment portfolio, i.e., to "buy and hold" securities to
maturity, although such securities may be sold given that all of the securities
held in the investment portfolio are designated as "available for sale." In
2008, the Company sold only 1 security at neither gain nor loss for proceeds of
$97,002,000. Such security was acquired and held for 7 days as collateral to
support a borrowing at the U.S Treasury Tax and Loan program. Sales of
securities in 2007 occurred with respect to entire investment portfolios of
acquired banks following mergers into the Company's existing bank subsidiaries.
Such sales occurred in recognition that the acquired portfolios of investments
were not consistent with the Company's Investment Policy and Asset Liability
Management Policy. During 2006, the only investment security sold was a bond
issued by General Motors, the risk profile of which was not consistent with the
Company's revised Investment Policy.

Based on the analysis of its impaired debt securities, the Company determined it
was probable the Company will fully recover the amortized cost of the
securities, and that none of such securities had other-than-temporary
impairment.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS 157, Fair Value Measurements, which
defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid
to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at
the measurement date. FAS 157 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which
requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use
of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three
levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2 Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for
similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not
active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by
observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or
liabilities

Level 3 Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity
and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities

On a recurring basis, the Company measures investment securities in accordance
with SFAS 157. The fair value of such investments is estimated by obtaining
quoted market prices for identical assets, where available. If such prices are
not available, fair value is based on independent asset pricing services and
models, the inputs of which are market-based or independently sourced market
parameters, including, but not limited to, yield curves, interest rates,
volatilities, prepayments, defaults, cumulative loss projections, and cash
flows. For those securities where greater reliance on unobservable inputs
occurs, such securities are classified as Level 3 within the hierarchy.

In performing due diligence reviews of the independent asset pricing services
and models for investment securities, the Company reviewed the vendors' inputs
for fair value estimates and the recommended assignments of levels within the
fair value hierarchy. The Company's review included the extent to which markets
for investment securities were determined to have limited or no activity, or was
judged to be an active market. The Company reviewed the extent to which
observable and unobservable inputs were used as well as the appropriateness of
the underlying assumptions about risk that a market participant would use in
active markets, with adjustments for limited or inactive markets. In considering
the inputs to the fair value estimates, the Company placed less reliance on
quotes that were judged to not reflect market transactions, or were non-binding
indications. The Company made independent inquires of other knowledgeable
parties in testing the reliability of the inputs, including consideration for
illiquidity, credit risk, and cash flow estimates. In assessing credit risk, the
Company reviewed payment performance, collateral adequacy, credit rating
histories, and issuers' financial statements with follow-up discussion with
issuers. For those markets determined to be inactive, the valuation techniques
used were models for which management verified that discount rates were
appropriately adjusted to reflect illiquidity and credit risk. The Company
independently obtained cash flow estimates that were stressed at levels that
exceeded those used by independent third party pricing vendors. Based on the
Company's due diligence review, investment securities are placed in the
appropriate hierarchy levels with adjustment to vendors' recommendations made as
necessary. Most notably, the Company determined that its collateralized debt
obligation securities, i.e., trust preferred securities, were illiquid due to
inactive markets (i.e., due to the absence of trade volume during 2008), the
fair values of which had significant reliance on unobservable inputs, and
therefore were classified as Level 3 within the hierarchy.

On a non-recurring basis, the Company measures impaired loans in accordance with
SFAS 157. Allowable methods for estimating fair value of impaired loans include
using the fair value of the collateral for collateral dependent loans or, where
a loan is determined not to be collateral dependent, using the discounted cash
flow method. Impaired loans are primarily collateral-dependent and the estimated
fair value is based on the appraised fair value of the collateral. The Company
reviews the appraisals, giving consideration to the highest and best use of the
collateral. The appraised values are reduced by discounts to consider lack of
marketability and estimated cost to sell. Impaired loans are classified within
Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

In addition to measuring certain financial assets and liabilities on a recurring
or non-recurring basis, the Company discloses estimated fair value on financial
assets and liabilities. The following is a description of the methods and inputs
used to estimate the fair value of other financial instruments recognized at
amounts other than fair value.

The fair value for unimpaired loans, net of ALLL, is estimated by discounting
the future cash flows using the rates at which similar notes would be originated
for the same remaining maturities. The market rates used are based on current
rates the bank subsidiaries would impose for similar loans and reflect a market
participant assumption about risks associated with non-performance, illiquidity,
and the structure and term of the loans along with local economic and market
conditions.

The fair value of term deposits is estimated by discounting the future cash
flows using rates of similar deposits with similar maturities. The market rates
used were obtained from a knowledgeable independent third party and reviewed by
the Company. The rates were the average of current rates offered by local
competitors of the bank subsidiaries. The estimated fair value of demand, NOW,
savings, and money market deposits is the book value since rates are regularly
adjusted to market rates.

The fair value of the non-callable FHLB advances is estimated by discounting the
future cash flows using rates of similar advances with similar maturities. These
rates were obtained from current rates offered by FHLB. Estimated fair value of
callable FHLB advances was obtained from FHLB and the model was reviewed by the
Company through discussions with FHLB.

The fair value of term repurchase agreements is estimated based on current
repurchase rates currently available to the Company for repurchases agreements
with similar terms and maturities. The market rates used are based on current
rates the bank subsidiaries would incur for similar borrowings. The estimated
fair value for overnight repurchase agreements and other borrowings is book
value.

The fair value of the subordinated debentures is estimated by discounting the
estimated future cash flows using current estimated market rates for
subordinated debt issuances with similar characteristics. The market rates used
were obtained from an independent third party and include inputs such as implied
yield curves and interest rate spreads. The Company evaluated the independent
fair value estimate by comparison to the Company's internal calculation.

For additional information on fair value measurements see Note 18 and 22 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements in "Item 8 - Financial Statements and
Supplementary Data."

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Audit Committee, Board of Directors and Stockholders
Glacier Bancorp, Inc.
Kalispell, Montana

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial condition
of Glacier Bancorp, Inc. as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity and comprehensive
income and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended
December 31, 2008. The Company's management is responsible for these financial
statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement. Our audits included
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management and evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Glacier Bancorp,
Inc. as December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the results of its operations and its
cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31,
2008, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the Unites
States of America.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States), Glacier Bancorp, Inc.'s internal
control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008, based on criteria
established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) and our report dated
March 2, 2009, expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the
Company's internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Audit Committee, Board of Directors and Stockholders
Glacier Bancorp, Inc.
Kalispell, Montana

We have audited Glacier Bancorp, Inc.'s internal control over financial
reporting as of December 31, 2008, based on criteria established in Internal
Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company's management is
responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting
and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial
reporting, included in the accompanying Report of Management. Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial
reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective
internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material
respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over
financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists and
testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal
control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such
other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe
that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to
provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting
and the preparation of reliable financial statements in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over
financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to
the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly
reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2)
provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to
permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and that receipts
and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with
authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide
reasonable assurance regarding prevention, or timely detection and correction of
unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could
have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting
may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of
effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become
inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance
with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, Glacier Bancorp, Inc. maintained, in all material respects,
effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008,
based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued
by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated financial
statements of Glacier Bancorp, Inc. and our report dated March 2, 2009,
expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(A) GENERAL

Glacier Bancorp, Inc. ("Company") is a Montana corporation incorporated in 2004
as a successor corporation to the Delaware corporation incorporated in 1990. The
Company is a regional multi-bank holding company that provides a full range of
banking services to individual and corporate customers in Montana, Idaho,
Wyoming, Colorado, Utah and Washington through its bank subsidiaries. The bank
subsidiaries are subject to competition from other financial service providers.
The bank subsidiaries are also subject to the regulations of certain government
agencies and undergo periodic examinations by those regulatory authorities.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change
relate to the determination of the allowance for loan and lease losses ("ALLL"
or "allowance") and the valuations related to investments, business combinations
and real estate acquired in connection with foreclosures or in satisfaction of
loans. In connection with the determination of the ALLL and other valuation
estimates management obtains independent appraisals for significant items.

(B) PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
its eleven wholly-owned operating subsidiaries as of December 31, 2008; Glacier
Bank ("Glacier"), First Security Bank of Missoula ("First Security"), Western
Security Bank ("Western"), Big Sky Western Bank ("Big Sky"), Valley Bank of
Helena ("Valley"), and First Bank of Montana ("First Bank-MT"), all located in
Montana, Mountain West Bank ("Mountain West") and Citizens Community Bank
("Citizens") located in Idaho, 1st Bank ("1st Bank") located in Wyoming, Bank of
the San Juans ("San Juans") located in Colorado, and First National Bank of
Morgan ("Morgan") located in Utah. All significant inter-company transactions
have been eliminated in consolidation.

In addition, the Company owns five trust subsidiaries, Glacier Capital Trust II
("Glacier Trust II"), Glacier Capital Trust III ("Glacier Trust III"), Glacier
Capital Trust IV ("Glacier Trust IV"), Citizens (ID) Statutory Trust I and
("Citizens Trust I") and Bank of the San Juans Bancorporation Trust I ("San
Juans Trust I") for the purpose of issuing trust preferred securities and, in
accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Interpretation
46(R), the trust subsidiaries are not consolidated into the Company's financial
statements. The Company does not have any other off-balance sheet entities.

On December 1, 2008, Bank of the San Juans Bancorporation and its subsidiary,
San Juans, was acquired by the Company.

On April 30, 2008, Glacier Bank of Whitefish ("Whitefish") merged into Glacier
with operations conducted under the Glacier charter. Prior period activity of
Whitefish was combined and included in Glacier's historical results. The merger
was accounted for as a combination of two wholly-owned subsidiaries without
purchase accounting.

On April 30, 2007, North Side State Bank ("North Side") in Rock Springs, Wyoming
was acquired and became a branch of 1st Bank.

On October 1, 2006, Citizens Development Company ("CDC") and its five banking
subsidiaries located across Montana were acquired. The CDC subsidiaries included
Citizens State Bank, First Citizens Bank of Billings, First National Bank of
Lewistown, Western Bank of Chinook, and First Citizens Bank, N.A. On January 26,
2007, Citizens State Bank, First Citizens Bank of Billings, and First Citizens
Bank, N.A. were merged into First Security, Western, and Glacier, respectively,
without name change for First Security, Western, and Glacier. On June 22, 2007,
Western Bank of Chinook was merged into First National Bank of Lewistown and
renamed First Bank of Montana. The CDC mergers were accounted for as
combinations of wholly-owned subsidiaries without purchase accounting and prior
period activity included in the remaining subsidiaries.

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, cash held as demand deposits at
various banks and regulatory agencies, interest bearing deposits and federal
funds sold with original maturities of three months or less.

(D) INVESTMENT SECURITIES

Debt securities for which the Company has the positive intent and ability to
hold to maturity are classified as held-to-maturity and are stated at amortized
cost. Debt and equity securities held primarily for the purpose of selling in
the near term are classified as trading securities and are reported at fair
market value, with unrealized gains and losses included in income. Debt and
equity securities not classified as held-to-maturity or trading are classified
as available-for-sale and are reported at fair value with unrealized gains and
losses, net of income taxes, shown as a separate component of stockholders'
equity. As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company only holds
available-for-sale securities. For additional information relating to investment
securities, see Note 3.

Premiums and discounts on investment securities are amortized or accreted into
income using a method that approximates the level-yield interest method. The
cost of any investment, if sold, is determined by specific identification.
Declines in the fair value of securities below carrying value that are other
than temporary are charged to expense as realized losses and the related
carrying value is reduced to fair value.

The Company holds stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") and the Federal
Reserve Bank ("FRB"). FHLB stock and FRB stock is restricted because such stock
may only be sold to the FHLB or FRB at its par value. Due to restrictive terms,
and the lack of a readily determinable market value, FHLB and FRB stocks are
carried at cost.

(E) LOANS RECEIVABLE

Loans that are intended to be held to maturity are reported at their unpaid
principal balance less charge-offs, specific valuation accounts, and any
deferred fees or costs on originated loans. Purchased loans are reported net of
unamortized premiums or discounts. Interest income is reported on the interest
method and includes discounts and premiums on purchased loans and net loan fees
on originated loans which are amortized over the expected life of loans using
methods that approximate the effective interest method. For additional
information relating to loans, see Note 4.

Loans on which the accrual of interest has been discontinued are designated as
nonaccrual loans. Accrual of interest on loans is discontinued either when
reasonable doubt exists as to the full, timely collection of interest or
principal or when a loan becomes contractually past due by ninety days or more
with respect to interest or principal unless such past due loan is well secured
and in the process of collection. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status,
interest previously accrued but not collected is reversed against current period
interest income. Interest accruals are resumed on such loans only when they are
brought fully current with respect to interest and principal and when, in the
judgment of management, the loans are estimated to be fully collectible as to
both principal and interest.

(F) LOANS HELD FOR SALE

Mortgage and commercial loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary
market are carried at the lower of cost or estimated market value in the
aggregate. Net unrealized losses are recognized by charges to income. A sale is
recognized when the Company surrenders control of the loan and consideration,
other than beneficial interests in the loan, is received in exchange. A gain is
recognized to the extent the selling price exceeds the carrying value.

(G) ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN AND LEASE LOSSES

Based upon management's analysis of the Company's loan and lease portfolio, the
balance of the ALLL is an estimate of probable credit losses known and inherent
in the loan and lease portfolio as of the date of the consolidated financial
statements. The ALLL is increased by provisions for credit losses which are
charged to expense. The portions of loan balances determined by management to be
uncollectible are charged off in reduction of the allowance. Recoveries of
amounts previously charged off are credited as an increase to the allowance.

The allowance for estimated losses on loans and leases is determined by each
bank subsidiary based upon past loss experience, adjusted for changes in trends
and conditions of certain items, including:

- Adverse situations that may affect specific borrowers' ability to
repay;

- Current collateral values, where appropriate;

- Delinquencies and non-performing loans;

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES . . . CONTINUED

- Amount and timing of future cash flows expected on impaired loans;

- Criticized and classified loans;

- Credit concentrations by credit type, industry, geography;

- Recoveries and dispositions of balances previously charge-off;

- Volume and terms of loans;

- Loan size and complexity;

- Competition and bank size;

- Local market areas and national economic conditions;

- Effects of changes in lending policies and procedures;

- Experience, ability, and depth of lending management and credit
administration staff; and

- Effects of legal and regulatory developments.

Individually significant loans and major lending areas are reviewed periodically
to determine potential problems at an early date. A loan is considered impaired
when, based upon current information and events, it is probable that the Company
will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when
due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. The amount of the
impairment is measured using cash flows discounted at the loan's effective
interest rate, except when it is determined that repayment of the loan is
expected to be provided solely by the underlying collateral. For collateral
dependent loans, impairment is measured by the fair value of the collateral less
the cost to sell. The Company considers its investment in one-to-four family
residential loans, consumer and home equity loans to be homogeneous and
therefore evaluates such loans for impairment on a pooled basis.

(H) TEMPORARY VERSUS OTHER-THAN-TEMPORARY IMPAIRMENT

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES . . . CONTINUED

(I) PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT

Premises and equipment are stated at cost less depreciation. Depreciation is
computed on a straight-line method over the estimated useful lives or the term
of the related lease. The estimated useful life for office buildings is 15 - 40
years and the estimated useful life for furniture, fixtures, and equipment is 3
- 10 years. Interest is capitalized for any significant building projects. For
additional information relating to premises and equipment, see Note 5.

(J) REAL ESTATE OWNED

Property acquired by foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure is carried at
the lower of fair value at acquisition date or current estimated fair value,
less selling costs. Costs, excluding interest, relating to the improvement of
property are capitalized, whereas those relating to holding the property are
charged to expense. Fair value is determined as the amount that could be
reasonably expected in a current sale (other than a forced or liquidation sale)
between a willing buyer and a willing seller. If the fair value of the asset
minus the estimated cost to sell is less than the cost of the property, a loss
is recognized and the asset carrying value is reduced.

(K) BUSINESS COMBINATIONS AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Acquisitions are accounted for using the purchase accounting method as
prescribed by SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations. Purchase accounting requires
the total purchase price to be allocated to the estimated fair values of assets
acquired and liabilities assumed, including certain intangible assets. Goodwill
is recorded for the residual amount in excess of the net fair values.

Adjustment of the allocated purchase price may be required for pre-acquisition
contingencies of the acquired entity known or discovered during the allocation
period, the period of time required to identify and measure the fair values of
the assets and liabilities acquired in the business combination. The allocation
period is generally limited to one year following consummation of a business
combination.

Core deposit intangible represents the intangible value of depositor
relationships resulting from deposit liabilities assumed in acquisitions and are
amortized using an accelerated method based on an estimated runoff of the
related deposits, not exceeding 10 years. The useful life of the core deposit
intangible is reevaluated on an annual basis, with any changes in estimated
useful life accounted for prospectively over the revised remaining life. For
additional information relating to core deposit intangibles, see Note 6.

On an annual basis, as required by SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets, the Company tests goodwill and other intangible assets for impairment at
the subsidiary level annually during the third quarter. In addition, goodwill
and other intangible assets of a subsidiary shall be tested for impairment
between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more
likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying
amount. For additional information relating to goodwill, see Note 6.

(L) INCOME TAXES

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for estimated future tax
consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement
carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. The
effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is
recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. For
additional information relating to income taxes, see Note 12.

(M) ADVERTISING AND PROMOTION

Advertising and promotion costs are recognized in the period incurred.

(N) STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (R), Share-Based Payment, which
replaces SFAS No. 123 and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25. SFAS No. 123 (R)
requires that the compensation cost relating to the share-based payment
transactions be recognized in the financial statements over the requisite
service period. The Statement covers a wide range of share-based compensation
arrangements including stock options, restricted share plans, performance-based
awards, share appreciation rights, and employee purchase plans. The Statement
requires entities to measure the cost of the employee services received in
exchange for stock options based on the grant-date fair value of the award, and
to recognize the cost over the period the employee is required to provide
services for the award. SFAS No. 123 (R) permits entities to use any
option-pricing model that meets the fair value objective in the Statement.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES . . . CONTINUED

The Company adopted SFAS No. 123 (R) Share-Based Payment, as of January 1, 2006
and, accordingly, has determined compensation cost based on the fair value of
the stock options at the grant date. FASB also issued several Staff Positions
during 2005 and 2006 and all applicable positions are being followed by the
Company. The Company adopted the modified prospective transition method in
reporting financial statement results in the current and for future reporting
periods. Under the modified prospective method, SFAS No. 123 (R) applies to new
awards and to awards modified, repurchased, or cancelled after the effective
date; accordingly, the prior interim and annual periods do not reflect restated
amounts. Compensation cost has been measured using the fair value of an award on
the grant date and is recognized over the service period, which is the vesting
period. Compensation cost related to the non-vested portion of awards
outstanding as of the date was based on the grant-date fair value of those
awards as calculated under the original provisions of SFAS No. 123; that is, the
Company is not required to re-measure the grant-date fair value estimate of the
unvested portion of award granted prior to the effective date of SFAS No. 123
(R).

The Company had applied APB Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations in
accounting for the stock-based compensation prior to January 1, 2006. Stock
options issued under the Company's stock option plan have no intrinsic value at
the grant date, and, therefore, no compensation cost was recognized in prior
years. For additional information relating to stock-based compensation, see Note
15.

(O) LONG-LIVED ASSETS

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be
recoverable. An asset is deemed impaired if the sum of the expected future cash
flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. If impaired, an impairment
loss is recognized to reduce the carrying value of the asset to fair value. At
December 31, 2008 and 2007, no assets were considered impaired.

(P) MORTGAGE SERVICING RIGHTS

The Company recognizes the rights to service mortgage loans for others, whether
acquired or internally originated. Loan servicing rights are initially recorded
at fair value based on comparable market quotes and are amortized as other
expense in proportion to and over the period of estimated net servicing income.
Loan servicing rights are evaluated quarterly for impairment by discounting the
expected future cash flows, taking into consideration the estimated level of
prepayments based on current industry expectations and the predominant risk
characteristics of the underlying loans including loan type, note rate and loan
term. Impairment adjustments, if any, are recorded through a valuation
allowance. For additional information relating to mortgage servicing rights, see
Note 6.

As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, the carrying value of mortgage servicing
rights was approximately $1,262,000 and $1,262,000, respectively. Amortization
expense of $176,000, $188,000, and $193,000 was recognized in the years ended
December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006, respectively. The servicing rights are
included in other assets on the balance sheet and are amortized over the period
of estimated net servicing income. There was no impairment of carrying value at
December 31, 2008 or 2007. At December 31, 2008, the fair value of mortgage
servicing rights was approximately $2,075,000.

(Q) EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share represents income available to common stockholders
divided by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding
during the year. Diluted earnings per share reflects additional common shares
that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential shares had been issued,
as well as any adjustment to income that would result from the issuance.
Potential common shares that may be issued by the Company relate to outstanding
stock options, and are determined using the treasury stock method. Previous
period amounts are restated for the effect of stock dividends and splits. For
additional information relating earnings per share, see Note 14.

(R) STOCK SPLIT

On November 29, 2006, the Board of Directors declared a three-for-two stock
split, payable to shareholders of record on December 11, 2006, payable December
14, 2006. On April 26, 2005 the Board of Directors declared a five-for-four
stock split, payable to shareholders of record on May 10, 2005, payable May 26,
2005. All prior period amounts have been restated to reflect the stock splits.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES . . . CONTINUED

(S) LEASES

The Company leases certain land, premises and equipment from third parties under
operating and capital leases. The lease payments for operating lease agreements
are recognized on a straight-line basis. The present value of the future minimum
rental payments for capital leases is recognized as an asset when the lease is
formed. Lease improvements incurred at the inception of the lease are recorded
as an asset and depreciated over the initial term of the lease and lease
improvements incurred subsequently are depreciated over the remaining term of
the lease. For additional information relating to leases, see Note 19.

(T) COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

Comprehensive income includes net income, as well as other changes in
stockholders' equity that result from transactions and economic events other
than those with stockholders. The Company's only significant element of other
comprehensive income is unrealized gains and losses, net of tax expense
(benefit), on available-for-sale securities.

(U) RECLASSIFICATIONS

Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2007 and 2006 financial
statements to conform to the 2008 presentation.

2. CASH ON HAND AND IN BANKS

The bank subsidiaries are required to maintain an average reserve balance with
either the Federal Reserve or in the form of cash on hand. The amount of this
required reserve balance at December 31, 2008 was $7,275,000.

As of December 31, 2008, there were 268 investments in an unrealized loss
position and were considered to be temporarily impaired and therefore an
impairment charge has not been recorded. State and Local Government and other
issued securities have the largest unrealized loss. The fair value of these
securities increased from $24,133,000 at December 31, 2007 to $144,447,000 at
December 31, 2008, and the unrealized loss increased from 1.3 percent of fair
value to 6.8 percent of fair value for those same years. The fair value of
mortgage backed securities, which have underlying collateral consisting of U.S.
Government Sponsored Enterprise guaranteed mortgages, decreased from
$256,627,000 at December 31, 2007 to $128,407,000 at December 31, 2008, and the
unrealized loss increased from 1.3 percent of fair value to 5.0 percent of fair
value for those same years.

Interest income includes tax-exempt interest for the years ended December 31,
2008, 2007, and 2006 of $13,901,000, $13,427,000, and $13,901,000, respectively.

Gross proceeds from sales of investment securities for the years ended December
31, 2008, 2007, and 2006 were approximately $97,002,000, $55,501,000 and
$488,000, respectively, resulting in gross gains of approximately $0, $1,000 and
$0 and gross losses of approximately $0, $9,000 and $3,000 respectively. During
the first quarter of 2008, the Company realized a gain of $130,000 from
extinguishment of the Company's share ownership in Principal Financial Group and
a gain of $118,000 from the mandatory redemption of a portion of Visa, Inc.
shares from its recent initial public offering. During the third quarter of
2008, the Company incurred a $7,593,000 other than temporary impairment ("OTTI")
charge with respect to its investments in Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation
("Freddie Mac") preferred stock and Federal National Mortgage Association
("Fannie Mae") common stock. The Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac stock was written
down to a $0 value, however, the shares were still owned by the Company at
December 31, 2008. With the October 3, 2008 enactment of the Emergency Economic
Stabilization Act of 2008, Section 301 provides that gain or loss arising from
the future sale of the Company's Freddie Mac preferred stock shall be treated as
ordinary in nature instead of capital in nature for federal income tax purposes.
The cost of any investment sold is determined by specific identification.

3. INVESTMENT SECURITIES, AVAILABLE FOR SALE...CONTINUED

At December 31, 2008, the Company had investment securities with carrying values
of approximately $712,590,000 pledged as collateral for FHLB advances, FRB
discount window borrowings, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, U.S.
Treasury Tax and Loan borrowings and deposits of several local government units.

The investments in the FHLB stock are required investments related to the
Company's borrowings from FHLB. FHLB obtains its funding primarily through
issuance of consolidated obligations of the FHLB system. The U.S. Government
does not guarantee these obligations, and each of the 12 FHLBs are jointly and
severally liable for repayment of each other's debt.

variable rate loans and $1,572,674,000 in fixed rate loans. The weighted average
interest rate on loans was 6.93 percent and 7.90 percent at December 31, 2008
and 2007, respectively. At December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, loans sold and

U.S. Treasury Tax and Loan borrowings.

Substantially all of the Company's loan receivables are with customers within
the Company's market areas. Although the Company has a diversified loan
portfolio, a substantial portion of its customers' ability to honor their
contracts is dependent upon the economic performance in the Company's market
areas. The bank subsidiaries are subject to regulatory limits for the amount of
loans to any individual borrower and all bank subsidiaries are in compliance as
of December 31, 2008. No borrower had outstanding loans or commitments exceeding
10 percent of the Company's consolidated stockholders' equity as of December 31,
2008.

The Company has entered into transactions with its executive officers,
directors, significant shareholders, and their affiliates. The aggregate amount
of loans to such related parties at December 31, 2008 and 2007 was approximately
$91,152,000 and $97,790,000. During 2008, new loans to such related parties were
approximately $27,941,000 and repayments were approximately $34,579,000.

The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in
the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers.
These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and letters of
credit, and involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk. The Company's
exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the
financial instrument for commitments to extend credit is represented by the
contractual amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit
policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for
on-balance-sheet instruments. The

10. SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES

Trust Preferred Securities were issued by the Company's five trust subsidiaries,
whose common stock is wholly-owned by the Company, in conjunction with the
Company issuing Subordinated Debentures to the trust subsidiaries. The terms of
the Subordinated Debentures are the same as the terms of the Trust Preferred
Securities. The Company guaranteed the payment of distributions and payments for
redemption or liquidation of the Trust Preferred Securities to the extent of
funds held by the trust subsidiaries. The obligations of the Company under the
Subordinated Debentures together with the guarantee and other back-up
obligations, in the aggregate, constitute a full and unconditional guarantee by
the Company of the obligations of all trusts under the Trust Preferred
Securities.

The Trust Preferred Securities are subject to mandatory redemption upon
repayment of the Subordinated Debentures at their stated maturity date or the
earlier redemption in an amount equal to their liquidation amount plus
accumulated and unpaid distributions to the date of redemption. Interest
distributions are payable quarterly. The Company may defer the payment of
interest at any time from time to time for a period not exceeding 20 consecutive
quarters provided that the deferral period does not extend past the stated
maturity. During any such deferral period, distributions on the Trust Preferred
Securities will also be deferred and the Company's ability to pay dividends on
its common shares will be restricted.

Subject to approval by the FRB, the Trust Preferred Securities may be redeemed
at par prior to maturity at the Company's option on or after the redemption
date. The Trust Preferred Securities may also be redeemed at any time in whole
(but not in part) for the Trusts in the event of unfavorable changes in laws or
regulations that result in (1) subsidiary trusts becoming subject to federal
income tax on income received on the Subordinated Debentures, (2) interest
payable by the Company on the Subordinated Debentures becoming non-deductible
for federal tax purposes, (3) the requirement for the trusts to register under
the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or (4) loss of the ability to
treat the Trust Preferred Securities as "Tier 1 Capital" under the FRB capital
adequacy guidelines.

The terms of the Subordinated Debentures, arranged by maturity date, is
reflected in the table below. The amount includes fair value adjustments from
acquisitions.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act generally restricts a
depository institution from making any capital distribution (including payment
of a dividend) or paying any management fee to its bank holding company if the
institution would thereafter be capitalized at less than 8 percent total capital
(to risk weighted assets), 4 percent tier 1 capital (to risk weighted assets),
or a 4 percent tier 1 capital (to average assets). At December 31, 2008 and
2007, each of the bank subsidiaries' capital measures exceed the highest
supervisory threshold, which requires total capital (to risk weighted assets) of
at least 10 percent, tier 1 capital (to risk weighted assets) of at least 6
percent, and a leverage capital (to average assets) of at least 5 percent.

11. REGULATORY CAPITAL ... CONTINUED

Each of the bank subsidiaries was considered well capitalized by the respective
regulator as of December 31, 2008 and 2007. There are no conditions or events
since year-end that management believes have changed the Company's or
subsidiaries' risk-based capital category.

The bank subsidiaries are subject to certain restrictions on the amount of
dividends that they may declare without prior regulatory approval. At December
31, 2008, approximately $108,269,000 of retained earnings was available for
dividend declaration without prior regulatory approval.

The Company and its bank subsidiaries join together in the filing of
consolidated income tax returns in the following jurisdictions: federal,
Montana, Idaho, Colorado and Utah. Although 1st Bank has operations in Wyoming
and Mountain has operations in Washington, neither Wyoming nor Washington
imposes a corporate level income tax. All required income tax returns have been
timely filed. Income tax returns for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2005,
2006 and 2007 remain subject to examination by federal, Montana, Idaho, Colorado
and Utah tax authorities and income tax returns for the year ended December 31,
2003 remain subject to examination by the state of Montana and Idaho.

On January 1, 2007, the Company adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48 ("FIN 48"),
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. There was no cumulative effect
recognized in retained earnings as a result of adopting FIN 48. In accordance
with FIN 48, the Company reclassified the unrecognized tax benefit amount from a
deferred tax liability to a current tax liability. A reconciliation of the
beginning and ending amounts of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:

Dollars in
Thousands
----------

Balance at January 1, 2007 .................................. $300
Reduction of unrecognized tax benefits for expired periods .. (90)
----
Balance at December 31, 2007 ................................ 210
Reduction of unrecognized tax benefits for expired periods .. (58)
----
Balance at December 31, 2008 ................................ $152
====

If the unrecognized tax benefit amount at December 31, 2008 was recognized, it
would decrease the Company's effective tax rate from 33.9 percent to 33.7
percent. The Company believes that it is unlikely that the balance of its
unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease over the next
twelve months.

The Company recognizes interest related to unrecognized income tax benefits in
interest expense and penalties are recognized in other expense. During the years
ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company recognized $0 interest expense and
recognized $0 penalty with respect to income tax liabilities. The Company had
approximately $37,000 and $50,000 accrued for the payment of interest at
December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The Company had accrued $0 for the
payment of penalties at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

12. FEDERAL AND STATE INCOME TAXES ... CONTINUED

There is no valuation allowance at December 31, 2008 and 2007 because management
believes that it is more likely than not that the Company's deferred tax assets
will be realized by offsetting future taxable income from reversing taxable
temporary differences and anticipated future taxable income.

Retained earnings at December 31, 2008 includes approximately $3,600,000 for
which no provision for federal income tax has been made. This amount represents
the base year federal bad debt reserve, which is essentially an allocation of
earnings to pre-1988 bad debt deductions for income tax purposes only. This
amount is treated as a permanent difference and deferred taxes are not
recognized unless it appears that this bad debt reserve will be reduced and
thereby result in taxable income in the foreseeable future. The Company is not
currently contemplating any changes in its business or operations which would
result in a recapture of this federal bad debt reserve into taxable income.

13. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

The Company has a profit sharing plan that is subject to a "safe harbor"
provision requiring an annual 3 percent non-elective contribution by the
Company. To be considered eligible for the plan, an employee must be 21 year of
age and have been employed for a full calendar quarter. In addition, elective
contributions, depending on the Company's profitability, may be made to the
plan. To be considered eligible for the elective contributions, an employee must
be 21 years of age, worked 501 hours in the plan year and be employed as of the
last day of the plan year. Participants are at all times fully vested in all
contributions. The total plan expense for the years ended December 31, 2008,
2007, and 2006 was approximately $3,034,000, $3,964,000 and $4,730,000
respectively.

The Company also has an employees' savings plan. The plan allows eligible
employees to contribute up to 60 percent of their monthly salaries. The Company
matches an amount equal to 50 percent of the employee's contribution, up to 6
percent of the employee's total pay. Participants are at all times fully vested
in all contributions. The Company's contribution to the savings plan for the
years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 was approximately $1,445,000,
$1,333,000, and $1,120,000, respectively.

The Company has a non-funded deferred compensation plan for directors and senior
officers. The plan provides for the deferral of cash payments of up to 50
percent of a participants' salary, and for 100 percent of bonuses and directors
fees, at the election of the participant. The total amount deferred was
approximately $461,000, $543,000, and $643,000, for the years ending December
31, 2008, 2007, and 2006, respectively. The participant receives an earnings
credit at a rate equal to 50 percent of the Company's return on equity. The
total earnings for the years ended 2008, 2007, and 2006 for this plan were
approximately $261,000, $259,000, and $226,000, respectively. In connection with
several acquisitions, the Company assumed the obligations of deferred
compensation plans for certain key employees. As of December 31, 2008, the
liability related to the obligations was approximately $1,684,000 and was
included in other liabilities of the Consolidated Statements of Financial
Condition. The amount expensed related to the obligations during 2008 was
insignificant.

The Company has a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (SERP) which is
intended to supplement payments due to participants upon retirement under the
Company's other qualified plans. The Company credits the participant's account
on annual basis for an amount equal to employer contributions that would have
otherwise been allocated to the participant's account under the tax-qualified
plans were it not for limitations imposed by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS),
or the participation in the non-funded deferred compensation plan. Eligible
employees include participants of the non-funded deferred compensation plan and
employees whose benefits were limited as a result of IRS regulations. The
Company's required contribution to the SERP for the years ended December 31,
2008, 2007 and 2006 was approximately $67,000, $70,000, and $102,000,
respectively. The participant receives an earnings credit at a rate equal to 50
percent of the Company's return on equity. The total earnings for the years
ended 2008, 2007, and 2006 for this plan were approximately $50,000, $52,000,
and $48,000, respectively.

The Company has elected to self-insure certain costs related to employee health
and accident benefit programs as of January 1, 2007 and also the employee dental
program beginning January 1, 2008. Costs resulting from noninsured losses are
expensed as incurred. The Company has purchased insurance that limits its
exposure on an aggregate and individual claims basis for the employee health and
accident benefit programs.

The Company has entered into employment contracts with 17 senior officers that
provide benefits under certain conditions following a change in control of the
Company.

14. EARNINGS PER SHARE

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per
share:

For the Years Ended December 31,

Diluted earnings per share ............ $ 1.19 1.28 1.21
=========== ========== ==========

There were approximately 1,421,000, 701,000, and 606,000 options excluded from
the diluted share calculation for December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006,
respectively, due to the option exercise price exceeding the market price of the
Company's common stock.

15. STOCK OPTION PLANS

The Company has stock-based compensation plans outstanding. The Directors 1994
Stock Option Plan was approved to provide for the grant of stock options to
outside Directors of the Company. The Directors 1994 Stock Option Plan will
expire in March of 2009. The Employees 1995 Stock Option Plan was approved to
provide the grant of stock options to certain full-time employees of the
Company. The Employees 1995 Stock Option Plan expired in April 2005 and has
granted but unexpired stock options outstanding. The 2005 Stock Incentive Plan
provides awards to certain full-time employees and directors of the Company. The
2005 Stock Incentive Plan permits the granting of stock options, share
appreciation rights, restricted shares, restricted share units, and unrestricted
shares, deferred share units, and performance awards. Upon exercise of the stock
options, the shares are obtained from the authorized and unissued stock.

The 1994, 1995, and 2005 plans also contain provisions authorizing the grant of
limited stock rights, which permit the optionee, upon a change in control of the
Company, to surrender his or her stock options for cancellation and receive cash
or common stock equal to the difference between the exercise price and the fair
market value of the shares on the date of the grant. The option price at which
the Company's common stock may be purchased upon exercise of stock options
granted under the plans must be at least equal to the per share market value of
such stock at the date the option is granted. All stock option shares are
adjusted for stock splits and stock dividends. The term of the stock options may
not exceed five years from the date the options are granted. The employee stock
options generally vest over a period of two years and the director options vest
over a period of six months.

The Company adopted SFAS No. 123 (Revised) Share-Based Payment, as of January 1,
2006 and, accordingly, has determined compensation cost based on the fair value
of stock options at the grant date. Additionally, the compensation cost for the
portion of awards outstanding for which the requisite service has not been
rendered that are outstanding as of the required effective date are recognized
as the requisite service is rendered on or after the required effective date.
For the twelve months ended December 31, 2008, the compensation cost for the
stock option plans was $2,782,000, with a corresponding income tax benefit of
$1,096,000, resulting in a net earnings and cash flow from operations reduction
of $1,686,000, or a decrease of $.03 per share for both basic and diluted
earnings per share. Additionally, in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows,
the excess tax benefit from stock options decreased the net cash provided from
operating activities and increased the net cash provided by financing activities
by $1,325,000 the twelve months ended December 31, 2008. Total unrecognized
compensation cost, net of income tax benefit, related to non-vested awards which
are expected to be recognized over the next weighted period of 1 year was
$1,110,000 as of December 31, 2008. The total fair value of shares vested for
the year ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 was $3,596,000 and $2,013,000,
respectively.

15. STOCK OPTION PLANS ... CONTINUED

Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123 (R), the Company utilized the intrinsic
value method and compensation cost was the excess of the market price of the
stock at the grant date over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the
stock. The exercise price of all stock options granted has been equal to the
fair market value of the underlying stock at the date of grant and, accordingly,
the intrinsic value has been $0 and no compensation cost was recognized prior to
the adoption of SFAS No. 123 (R). The Company did not modify any outstanding
stock options prior to the adoption of the standard.

The per share weighted-average fair value of stock options on the date of grant
was based on the Black Scholes option-pricing model. The Company uses historical
data to estimate option exercise and termination within the valuation model.
Employee and director awards, which have dissimilar historical exercise
behavior, are considered separately for valuation purposes. The risk-free
interest rate for periods within the contractual life of the stock option is
based on the U.S. Treasury yield in effect at the time of the grant. The stock
option awards generally vest upon six months or two years of service for
directors and employees, respectively, and generally expire in five years.
Expected volatilities are based on historical volatility and other factors. The
following lists the various assumptions and fair value of the grants awarded
during the year.

At December 31, 2008, total shares available for stock option grants to
employees and directors are 3,602,676. Changes in shares granted for stock

18. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value
Measurements, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15,
2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. FASB issued Staff Position
("FSP") SFAS 157-2, Effective Date of SFAS No. 157, which delays the effective
date of SFAS 157 for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except
for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial
statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). SFAS 157 has been applied
prospectively as of January 1, 2008.

SFAS 157 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset
or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market
participants at the measurement date. FAS 157 also establishes a fair value
hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and
minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard
describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 3 Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity
and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or
liabilities

The following are the assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis at and
for the period ended December 31, 2008.

18. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS...CONTINUED

The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for financial
assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis. There have been no
significant changes in the valuation techniques during the period.

Investments and mortgage-backed securities - fair value for available-for-sale
securities is estimated by obtaining quoted market prices for identical assets,
where available. If such prices are not available, fair value is based on
independent asset pricing services and models, the inputs of which are
market-based or independently sourced market parameters, including, but not
limited to, yield curves, interest rates, volatilities, prepayments, defaults,
cumulative loss projections, and cash flows. For those securities where greater
reliance on unobservable inputs occurs, such securities are classified as Level
3 within the hierarchy.

The following is a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances for
assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant
unobservable inputs (Level 3) during the period ended December 31, 2008.

The change in unrealized losses related to available-for-sale securities are
reported in the accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

Certain financial assets or liabilities are not measured at fair value on a
recurring basis, but are subject to fair value measurement in certain
circumstances, for example upon acquisition or when there is evidence of
impairment. The following are the assets measured at fair value on a
nonrecurring basis at December 31, 2008.

======= ====== === === ======

The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for financial
assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. There have been no
significant changes in the valuation techniques during the period.

Impaired Loans, net of ALLL - loans included in the Company's financials for
which it is probable that the Company will not collect all principal and
interest due according to contractual terms are considered impaired in
accordance with SFAS 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan.
Allowable methods for estimating fair value include using the fair value of the
collateral for collateral dependent loans or, where a loan is determined not to
be collateral dependent, using the discounted cash flow method. Impaired loans
are primarily collateral-dependent and the estimated fair value is based on the
fair value of the collateral. Impaired loans are classified within Level 3 of
the fair value hierarchy.

========== ========= ========= =========

The following is a description of the methods used to estimate the fair value of
all other financial instruments recognized at amounts other than fair value.

Financial Assets

The estimated fair value is the book value of cash, federal funds sold, interest
bearing cash deposits, and accrued interest receivable. The estimated fair value
of FHLB and FRB stock is book value, due to the restrictions that such stock may
only be sold to another member institution or the FHLB or FRB at their par
value.

Loans receivable, net of ALLL - fair value for unimpaired loans, net of ALLL, is
estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the rates at which similar
notes would be written for the same remaining maturities. Impaired loans are
primarily collateral-dependent and the estimated fair value is based on the fair
value of the collateral.

Financial Liabilities

The estimated fair value of accrued interest payable is the book value.

Deposits - fair value of term deposits is estimated by discounting the future
cash flows using rates of similar deposits with similar maturities. The
estimated fair value of demand, NOW, savings, and money market deposits is the
book value since rates are regularly adjusted to market rates.

Advances from FHLB - fair value of advances is estimated based on borrowing
rates currently available to the Company for advances with similar terms and
maturities.

Repurchase agreements and other borrowed funds - fair value of term repurchase
agreements and other term borrowings is estimated based on current repurchase
rates and borrowing rates currently available to the Company for repurchases and
borrowings with similar terms and maturities. The estimated fair value for
overnight repurchase agreements and other borrowings is book value.

18. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS...CONTINUED

Subordinated debentures - fair value of the subordinated debt is estimated by
discounting the estimated future cash flows using current estimated market rates
for subordinated debt issuances with similar characteristics.

Off-balance sheet financial instruments - Commitments to extend credit and
letters of credit represent the principal categories of off-balance sheet
financial instruments. Rates for these commitments are set at time of loan
closing, such that no adjustment is necessary to reflect these commitments at
market value. See Note 4 to consolidated financial statements.

19. CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS

The Company leases certain land, premises and equipment from third parties under
operating and capital leases. Total rent expense for the years ended December
31, 2008, 2007, and 2006 was approximately $2,561,000, $2,099,000, and
$1,784,000, respectively. Amortization of building capital lease assets is
included in depreciation. One of the Company's subsidiaries has entered into
lease transactions with two of its directors and the related party rent expense
for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007, and 2006 was approximately
$476,000, $346,000, and $333,000. The total future minimum rental commitments
required under operating and capital leases that have initial or remaining
noncancelable lease terms in excess of one year at December 31, 2008 are as
follows (dollars in thousands):

The Company is a defendant in legal proceedings arising in the normal course of
business. In the opinion of management, the disposition of pending litigation
will not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial
position, results of operations or liquidity.

20. ACQUISITIONS

On December 1, 2008, the Company acquired Bank of the San Juans Bancorporation
and its San Juans subsidiary bank, with total assets of $157,648,000, loans of
$139,376,000 and deposits of $118,934,000. The purchase price included core
deposit intangible of $2,101,000 and goodwill of $6,451,000. The Company is
currently evaluating the fair values of the assets and liabilities acquired.
Adjustment of the allocated purchase price may be required for pre-acquisition
contingencies of the acquired entity known or discovered during the allocation
period, the period of time required to identify and measure the fair values of
the assets and liabilities acquired in the business combination. The allocation
period is generally limited to one year following consummation of a business
combination.

On April 30, 2007, 1st Bank completed the acquisition of North Side with total
assets of $128,252,000, loans of $38,773,000, and deposits of $99,568,000. The
purchase price included core deposit intangible of $2,524,000 and goodwill of
$8,223,000

21. OPERATING SEGMENT INFORMATION

SFAS No. 131, Financial Reporting for Segments of a Business Enterprise,
requires that a public business enterprise report financial and descriptive
information about its reportable operating segments. Operating segments are
defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial
information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating
decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing
performance. The Company defines operating segments and evaluates segment
performance internally based on individual bank charters. The following schedule
provides selected financial data for the Company's operating segments. Centrally
provided services to the banks are allocated based on estimated usage of those
services. The operating segment identified as "Other" includes limited
partnership interests that operate residential rental real estate properties
which have been allocated low income housing tax credits. Intersegment revenues
primarily represents interest income on intercompany borrowings, management
fees, and data processing fees received by individual banks or the parent
company. Intersegment revenues, expenses and assets are eliminated in order to
report results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America.

The accounting policies of the individual operating segments are the same as
those of the Company described in Note 1. Transactions between operating
segments are conducted at fair value, resulting in profits that are eliminated
for reporting consolidated results of operations. Expenses for centrally
provided services are allocated based on the estimated usage of those services.

22. IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In January 2009, the FASB issued FSP Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF")
99-20-1, Amendments to the Impairment Guidance of EITF Issue No. 99-20. The EITF
amends the impairment guidance in EITF Issue No. 99-20, "Recognition of Interest
Income and Impairment on Purchased Beneficial Interests and Beneficial Interests
That Continue to Be Held by a Transferor in Securitized Financial Assets," to
achieve more consistent determination of whether an other-than-temporary
impairment has occurred. The FSP also retains and emphasizes the objective of an
other than-temporary impairment assessment and the related disclosure
requirements in SFAS No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and
Equity Securities", and other related guidance. The issue is effective for
interim and annual reporting periods ending after December 15, 2008 and shall be
applied prospectively. The Company has evaluated this issue and determined that
it is not currently applicable to the Company, but could be applicable in the
future at which time the Company will determine any material effect on the
Company's financial position or results of operations.

In December 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 140-4 and FIN 46(R)-8, Disclosures by
Public Entities (Enterprises) about Transfers of Financial Assets and Interests
in Variable Interest Entities. The FSP amends SFAS No. 140, Accounting for
Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities,
to require public entities to provide additional disclosures about transfers of
financial assets. It also amends FASB Interpretation No. 46 (R), Consolidation
of Variable Interest Entities, to require public enterprises, including sponsors
that have a variable interest in a variable interest entity, to provide
additional disclosures about their involvement with variable interest entities.
Additionally, this FSP requires certain disclosures to be provided by a public
enterprise that is (a) a sponsor of a qualifying special purpose entity (SPE)
that holds a variable interest in the qualifying SPE but was not the

22. IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS...CONTINUED

transferor (nontransferor) of financial assets to the qualifying SPE and (b) a
FSP on SFAS 140 and Interpretation 46(R) (FSP FAS 140-4 and FIN 46R-8) servicer
of a qualifying SPE that holds a significant variable interest in the qualifying
SPE but was not the transferor (nontransferor) of financial assets to the
qualifying SPE. The disclosures required by this FSP are intended to provide
greater transparency to financial statement users about a transferor's
continuing involvement with transferred financial assets and an enterprise's
involvement with variable interest entities and qualifying SPEs. The issue shall
be effective for the first reporting period (interim or annual) ending after
December 15, 2008. The Company has evaluated the impact of the adoption of this
FSP and determined there was not a material effect on the Company's financial
position or results of operations.

In October 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-3, Determining the Fair Value of a
Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not Active. The FSP clarifies
the application of SFAS 157 No., Fair Value Measurements, in a market that is
not active and provides an example to illustrate key considerations in
determining the fair value of a financial asset when the market for that
financial asset is not active. The issue is effective upon issuance, including
prior periods for which financial statements have been issued. The Company has
evaluated the impact of the adoption of this standard and determined there was
not a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of
operations.

In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life
of Intangible Assets. This FSP amends the factors that should be considered in
developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of
a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets. The intent of this FSP is to improve the consistency between the useful
life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142 and the period of
expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under SFAS No.
141 (R), Business Combinations, and other U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles (GAAP). This issue is effective for financial statements issued for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company is currently
evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard, but does not expect it
to have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of
operations.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities. This Statement changes the disclosure
requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities. Entities are
required to provide enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses
derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items
are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations, and (c)
how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity's financial
position, financial performance, and cash flows. This Statement is effective for
financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after
November 15, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the
adoption of this standard, but does not expect it to have a material effect on
the Company's financial position or results of operations.

In February 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-2, Effective Date of FASB
Statement No. 157. This FSP delays the effective date of FASB Statement No. 157,
Fair Value Measurements, for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities,
except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial
statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). The issue is effective upon
issuance. The Company has evaluated the impact of the adoption of this standard
and determined there was not a material effect on the Company's financial
position or results of operations.

In February 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-1, Application of FASB Statement
No. 157 to FASB Statement No. 13 and Other Accounting Pronouncements That
Address Fair Value Measurements for Purposes of Lease Classification or
Measurement under Statement 13. The FSP amends SFAS No. 157, Fair Value
Measurements, to exclude SFAS No. 13, Accounting for Leases, and other
accounting pronouncements that address fair value measurements for purposes of
lease classification or measurement under SFAS No. 13. However, this scope
exception does not apply to assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a
business combination that are required to be measured at fair value under SFAS
No. 141, Business Combinations, or SFAS No. 141 (R), Business Combinations,
regardless of whether those assets and liabilities are related to leases. The
issue is effective upon the initial adoption of SFAS 157. The Company has
evaluated the impact of the adoption of this standard and determined there was
not a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of
operations.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), Business Combinations. The
objective of this Statement is to improve the relevance, representational
faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity
provides in its financial reports about a business combination and its effects.
The Statement establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer: a)
Recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets
acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the
acquiree b) Recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business
combination or a gain from a bargain purchase c) Determines what information to
disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and
financial

22. IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS...CONTINUED

effects of the business combination. This Statement applies prospectively to
business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the
beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December
15, 2008. An entity may not apply it before that date. The Company is currently
evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard, but does not expect it
to have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of
operations with any future business combinations.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. This Statement permits entities to
choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair
value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities
with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by
measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply
complex hedge accounting provisions. This Statement is effective as of the
beginning of an entity's first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007.
The Company has evaluated the impact of the adoption of this standard and
determined there was not a material effect on the Company's financial position
or results of operations. At present, the Company has chosen not to measure the
permitted items at fair value.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, which
defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in
generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about
fair value measurements. This Statement applies under other accounting
pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, FASB having
previously concluded in those accounting pronouncements that fair value is the
relevant measurement attribute. Accordingly, this Statement does not require any
new fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements
issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods
within those fiscal years. The Company evaluated the impact of the adoption of
this standard and determined there was not a material effect on the Company's
financial position or results of operations. For additional information relating
to fair value measurements, see Note 18.

In September 2006, the FASB EITF issued EITF 06-4, Accounting for Deferred
Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Endorsement Split-Dollar Life
Insurance Arrangements. The EITF determined that for an endorsement split-dollar
life insurance arrangement within the scope of the Issue, the employer should
recognize a liability for future benefits in accordance with SFAS No. 106,
Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions, or APB
Opinion 12, Omnibus Opinion-1967, based on the substantive agreement with the
employee. The Issue is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2007, with earlier application permitted. The Company adopted the EITF during
the first quarter of 2008 resulting in a $997 thousand decrease to retained
earnings for the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principles.

23. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On February 9, 2009, a definitive agreement to acquire First Company and its
bank subsidiary First National Bank & Trust, a community bank based in Powell,
Wyoming was announced. First National Bank & Trust has three branch locations in
Powell, Cody, and Lovell, Wyoming. As of December 31, 2008, First National Bank
& Trust had total assets of $282 million. Upon completion of the transaction,
which is subject to regulatory approval and other customary conditions of
closing, First National Bank & Trust will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of
the Company.

On February 1, 2009, Morgan merged into 1st Bank resulting in operations being
conducted under the 1st Bank charter. Prior period activity of Morgan will be
combined and included in 1st Bank's historical results. The merger will be
accounted for as a combination of two wholly-owned subsidiaries without purchase
accounting.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND
FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

There have been no changes or disagreements with accountants on accounting and
financial disclosure.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. An evaluation was carried out
under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management,
including the Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Chief Financial Officer
("CFO"), of the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures. Based
on that evaluation, the CEO and CFO have concluded that as of the end of the
period covered by this report, the disclosure controls and procedures are
effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be
disclosed by the Company in reports that are filed or submitted under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934

are recorded, processed, summarized and timely reported as provided in the SEC's
rules and forms. As a result of this evaluation, there were no significant
changes in the internal control over financial reporting during the three months
ended December 31, 2008 that have materially affected, or are reasonable likely
to materially affect, the internal control over financial reporting.

Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting Management is
responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over
financial reporting as it relates to its financial statements presented in
conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The Company's
internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance to the
Company's management and Board of Directors regarding the preparation and fair
presentation of published financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles. Internal control over financial reporting
includes self monitoring mechanisms and actions are taken to correct
deficiencies as they are identified.

There are inherent limitations in any internal control, no matter how well
designed, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected,
including the possibility of circumvention or overriding of controls.
Accordingly, even an effective internal control system can provide only
reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation. Further,
because of changes in conditions, the effectiveness of an internal control
system may vary over time.

Management assessed its internal control structure over financial reporting as
of December 31, 2008. This assessment was based on criteria for effective
internal control over financial reporting described in "Internal Control -
Integrated Framework" issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the
Treadway Commission. Based on this assessment, management asserts that the
Company and subsidiaries maintained effective internal control over financial
reporting as it relates to its financial statements presented in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the Unites States of America.

BKD LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm that audited the
financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008, has issued an
attestation report on the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
Such attestation report expresses an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of
the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2008.
