9 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996, 1995 AND 1994 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: (a) GENERAL Glacier Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company"), a Delaware corporation organized in 1990, is a multi-bank, thrift holding company which provides a full range of banking services to individual and corporate customers in Montana through its subsidiary banks. The subsidiary banks are subject competition from other financial service providers. The subsidiary banks are also subject to the regulations of certain government agencies and undergo periodic examinations by those regulatory authorities. The accounting and consolidated financial statement reporting policies of the Company conform with generally accepted accounting principles and prevailing practices within the banking industry. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported and disclosed amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the statement of financial condition and income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near-term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses. Management believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate. While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans, future additions to the allowance may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the subsidiary banks' allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require the subsidiary banks to recognize additions to the allowance based on their judgements about information available to them at the time of their examination. (b) PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its bank subsidiaries, Glacier Bank (the "Savings Bank"), First Security Bank of Missoula, First National Bank of Whitefish, and First National Bank of Eureka (collectively the "Commercial Banks"). All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company owns 100% of the outstanding stock of Glacier Bank and First Security Bank of Missoula, and 94% and 93% of the First National Banks of Whitefish and Eureka, respectively. The First Security Bank of Missoula was acquired on December 31, 1996 through an exchange of stock with Missoula Bancshares, Inc. formerly the parent company of First Security Bank. The pooling of interests accounting method is being used for this merger transaction. Under this method, financial information for each of the periods presented include the combined companies as though the merger had occurred prior to the earliest date presented. (c) CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS Cash and cash equivalents are considered to be 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.

10 (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 them 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. Premiums and discounts on investment securities are amortized or accreted into income using a method which approximates the level-yield interest method. The cost of any investment, if sold, is determined by specific identification. Declines in the fair value of available-for-sale or held-to-maturity securities below carrying value that are other than temporary are charged to expense as realized losses and the related carrying value reduced to fair value. (e) LOANS RECEIVABLE Loans receivable that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are reported at their outstanding unpaid principal balance reduced by any chargeoffs or specific valuation accounts and net of any deferred fees or costs on originated loans or unamortized premiums or discounts on purchased loans. Discounts and premiums on purchased loans are amortized over the expected life of loans using methods that approximate the interest method. (f) LOANS HELD FOR SALE Mortgage 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. (g) LOAN ORIGINATION FEES Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 91 provides for the deferral of loan origination fees and direct loan origination costs with those amounts recognized over the lives of the related loans as an adjustment of the loan's yield using a method which approximates the level-yield method. (h) ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES Management's periodic evaluations of the adequacy of the allowance is based on factors such as the Company's past loan loss experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower's ability to repay, the estimated value of any underlying collateral, current economic conditions, and independent appraisals. The Company also provides an allowance for losses on specific loans which are deemed to be impaired. Groups of small balance homogeneous loans (generally consumer and residential real estate loans) are evaluated for impairment collectively. A loan is considered impaired when, based upon current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect, on a timely basis, all principal and interest according to the contractual terms of the loans's original agreement. When a specific loan is determined to be impaired, the allowance for loan losses is increased through a charge to expense for the amount of the impairment. The amount of the impairment is measured using cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, except when it is determined that the sole source of repayment for the loan is the operations or liquidation of the underlying collateral. In such case, the current value of the collateral, reduced by anticipated selling costs, will be used in place of discounted cash flows. Generally, when a loan is deemed impaired, current period interest previously accrued but not collected is reversed against current period interest income. Income on such impaired loans is then recognized only to the extent that cash in excess of any amounts charged off to the allowance for loan losses is received and where the future collection of principal is probable. Interest

11 accruals are resumed on such loans only when they are brought fully current with respect to interest and principal and when, in the judgement of management, the loans are estimated to be fully collectible as to both principal and interest. During 1996 and 1995 the amount of impaired loans was not material. (I) PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT Premises and equipment are stated at cost less depreciation. Depreciation is generally computed on a straight-line method over the estimated useful lives, which range from five to fifty years, of the various classes of assets from their respective dates of acquisition. (J) REAL ESTATE OWNED Property acquired by foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure is carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value, not to exceed estimated net realizable value. 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, this deficiency is recognized as a valuation allowance and is charged to expense. (K) RESTRICTED STOCK INVESTMENTS The Company holds stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB); Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC); and the Federal Reserve Bank (FRB). These investments are carried at the lower of cost or market value. (L) GOODWILL Goodwill is being amortized against income using the straight-line method over 15 years. (M) INCOME TAXES Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. 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. (N) STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION Prior to January 1, 1996, the Company accounted for its stock option plan in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and related interpretations. As such, compensation expense would be recorded over the vesting period only if at the date of grant the current market price of the underlying stock exceeded the exercise price. On January 1, 1996, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," which permits entities to recognize as expense over the vesting period the fair value of all stock-based awards determined on the date of grant. Alternatively, SFAS No. 123 also allows entities to continue to apply the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25 for stock based awards to employees and provide pro forma income and pro forma earnings per share disclosures for employee stock options granted in 1995 and future years as if the fair-value-based method defined in SFAS No. 123 had been applied. The Company has elected to continue to apply the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25 and provide the pro forma disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123.

12 (O) IMPAIRMENT AND DISPOSAL OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS Effective January 1, 1996 the Company adopted SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed of". The statement requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles be 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 flow 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. Adoption of SFAS No. 121 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations. At December 31, 1996 there were no assets that were considered impaired. (P) MORTGAGE SERVICING RIGHTS The Company recognizes mortgage servicing rights as an asset regardless of whether the servicing rights are acquired or originated and retained. The mortgage servicing rights are assessed for impairment based on the fair value of the mortgage servicing rights. As of December 31, 1996 and 1995 the carrying value of originated servicing rights was approximately $396,000 and $176,000, respectively. There was no impairment of value at December 31, 1996 or 1995. (Q) FUTURE ACCOUNTING CHANGES In June 1996, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities." SFAS No. 125 is effective for transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishment of liabilities occurring after December 31, 1996 and is to be applied prospectively. This Statement provides accounting and reporting standards for transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishment of liabilities based on consistent application of the financial-components approach that focuses on control. It distinguishes transfers of financial assets that are sales from transfers that are secured borrowings. Management of the Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 125 will have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.

13 2. CASH ON HAND AND IN BANKS: The subsidiary banks are required to maintain an average reserve balance with the Federal Reserve Bank, or maintain such reserve in the form of cash. The amount of this required reserve balance at December 31, 1996 was approximately $4,000,000 and was met by maintaining cash and an average reserve balance with the Federal Reserve Bank in excess of this amount.

The weighted average interest rate on loans was 8.82%, and 9.01% at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. 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. At December 31, 1996 and 1995 serviced loans sold to others were $115,437,000 and $103,756,000, respectively.

20 8. SECURITIES SOLD UNDER AGREEMENTS TO REPURCHASE AND OTHER BORROWED FUNDS: Securities sold under agreements to repurchase consist of the following at: Book Market Weighted value of value of Repurchase average underlying underlying (dollars in thousands) amount rate paid assets assets ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- December 31, 1996: Securities sold under agreements to repurchase within: 1-30 days ..................................... $ 6,532 4.03% $ 10,162 $ 10,457 31-90 days ..................................... 1,300 5.34% 2,908 2,992 Greater than 90 days ............................ 1,959 5.34% 3,703 3,811 ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- $ 9,791 4.46% $ 16,773 $ 17,260 =========== =========== =========== =========== December 31, 1995: Securities sold under agreements to repurchase within: 1-30 days ..................................... $ 14,280 4.13% $ 17,741 $ 18,290 31-90 days ..................................... 6,025 5.13% 6,432 6,662 Greater than 90 days ............................ 500 5.51% 584 612 ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- $ 20,805 4.46% $ 24,757 $ 25,564 =========== =========== =========== =========== The securities underlying agreements to repurchase entered into by the Company are for the same securities originally sold, and are held in a custody account by a third party. For the year ended December 31, 1996 securities sold under agreements to repurchase averaged approximately $17,000,000 and the maximum outstanding at any month end during the year was approximately $22,000,000. In 1996 the Company entered into the treasury tax and loan account note option program, which provides short term funding up to $12,000,000 at federal funds rate minus 25 basis points. The borrowings are secured with investment securities with an amortized cost of approximately $15,400,000. At December 31, 1996 the outstanding balance under this program was approximately $5,200,000. Other borrowed funds prior to 1996 related to Missoula Bancshares, Inc. to acquire First Security. The debt was repaid prior to the merger with the Company.

21 9. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY: For regulatory purposes, the Savings Bank is required to maintain three minimum capital requirements. Failure to maintain the required capital can result in regulatory action to limit the Savings Bank's operations. Savings Bank capital components at December 31, 1996, are as follows: Tangible Capital Core Capital Risk-based Capital -------------------------- -------------------------- -------------------------- (dollars in thousands) $ % $ % $ % ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- GAAP Capital ............................. $ 31,767 8.76% $ 31,767 8.76% $ 31,767 16.93% Net unrealized gains on securities available-for-sale ..................

Under this regulation the amount of allowable distributions was approximately $1,150,000 as of year end. 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 holding company if the depository institution would thereafter be capitalized at less than 8% of total risk-based capital, 4% of Tier I capital, or a 4% leverage ratio. At December 31, 1996, the Commercial Banks capital measures exceed the highest supervisory threshold, which requires total Tier II capital of at least 10%, Tier I capital of at least 6%, and a leverage ratio of at least 5%. National banks may not pay dividends without the approval of the Comptroller of the Currency if the total of all dividends declared will exceed the sum of its net profits for the current year and the preceding two calendar years. The amount available for dividend distribution by the National Banks as of December 31, 1996, was approximately $1,242,000. State banks such as First Security may pay dividends up to the total of the prior two years earnings without permission of the State regulator. The amount available for dividend distribution by First Security as of December 31, 1996, was approximately $3,015,000. The Federal Reserve Board 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 Federal Reserve Boards capital adequacy guidelines and the Company's compliance with those guidelines as of December 31, 1996.

23 For taxable years beginning prior to January 1, 1996, savings institutions such as the Savings Bank were allowed, if certain conditions were met, a special bad debt deduction for income tax purposes based on a percentage of taxable income before such deduction. As a result of recently enacted federal legislation, savings associations are no longer able to calculate their deduction for bad debts using the percentage-of-taxable-income method. Instead, savings associations are required to compute their deduction based on specific charge-offs during the taxable year or, if the savings association or its controlled group had assets of less than $500 million, based on actual loss experience over a period of years. This legislation also requires savings associations to recapture into taxable income over a six-year period their post-1987 additions to their bad debt tax reserves. At December 31, 1996, the Savings Bank's post-1987 tax bad debt reserves were approximately $2.6 million. The recapture may be suspended for up to two years if, during those years, the institution satisfies a residential loan requirement which the Savings Bank anticipates will be met. Retained earnings at December 31, 1996 includes approximately $3,600,000 for which no provision for Federal income tax has been made. This amount represents the base year tax 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 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.

24 11. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS: The Company has a noncontributory defined contribution retirement plan covering substantially all employees. The Company follows the policy of funding retirement plan contributions as accrued. The total retirement plan expense for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995, and 1994 was approximately $366,000, $287,000 and $249,000 respectively. The employees of First Security will be eligible to participate in the plan during 1997. The Company also has an employees' savings plan. The plan allows eligible employees to contribute up to 10% of their monthly salaries. The Company matches an amount equal to 50% of the employee's contribution, up to 6% 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, 1996, 1995 and 1994 was approximately $106,000, $95,000, and $85,000, respectively. Employees of First Security will be eligible to participate in the plan in 1997. In 1995 a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (SERP) was adopted which provides retirement benefits at the savings and retirement plan levels, for amounts that are limited by IRS regulations under those plans. The Company's contribution to the SERP for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 was approximately $41,000 and $19,000 respectively. In 1995 a non-funded deferred compensation plan for directors and senior officers was established. The plan provides for the deferral of cash payments of up to 25% of a participants salary, and for 100% of bonuses and directors fees, at the election of the participant. The total amount deferred was approximately $87,000, and zero for the years ending December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. The participant receives an earnings credit at a one year certificate of deposit rate, or at the total return rate on Company stock, on the amount deferred, as elected by the participant at the time of the deferral election. The total earnings credit for 1996 and 1995 was approximately $5,000 and zero, respectively. First Security Bank of Missoula had a discretionary non-contributory profit sharing plan covering substantially all employees, with funding of contributions as accrued. The total plan expense for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995, and 1994 was approximately $262,000, $235,000 and $212,000 respectively. The plan was terminated as of December 31, 1996. The Company has entered into employment contracts with eight senior officers that provide benefits under certain conditions following a change in control of the Company.

25 12. EARNINGS PER SHARE: Earnings per common share were computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Previous period amounts are restated for the effect of stock dividends. Stock options are considered common stock equivalents, but are excluded from earnings per share computations due to immateriality. Years ended December 31, ------------------------------------- 1996 1995 1994 ----------- ---------- ---------- Weighted average common shares ......... 4,510,300 4,468,387 4,460,830

26 13. STOCK OPTION PLANS: During fiscal 1984, an Incentive Stock Option Plan was approved which provided for the grant of options limited to 168,750 shares to certain full time employees of the Company. In the year ended June 30, 1990, additional Stock Option Plans were approved which provided for the grant of options limited to 29,445 shares to outside Directors and 166,860 shares to certain full time employees of the Company. In the year ended December 31, 1994 a Stock Option Plan was approved which provides for the grant of options to outside Directors of the Company, limited to 50,000 shares. In the year ended December 31, 1995 a Stock Option Plan was approved which provides for the grant of options limited to 279,768 shares to key employees of the Company. The option price at which the Company's common stock may be purchased upon exercise of options granted under the plan must be at least equal to the per share market value of such stock at the date the option is granted. The 1984 plan also contains provisions permitting the optionee, with the approval of the Company, to surrender his or her options for cancellation and receive cash or common stock equal to the difference between the exercise price and the then fair market value of the shares on the date of surrender. The fiscal 1990 and 1995 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 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. All option shares are adjusted for stock splits and stock dividends. At December 31, 1996, total stock options available for issuance are 288,451. Changes in stock options for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995, and 1994, are summarized as follows: Options Options Outstanding Exercisable -------------------------- -------------------------- (dollars in thousands) Shares Amount Shares Amount ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- Balance, December 31, 1993 ...... 143,122 $ 2,224 48,222 $ 350 Canceled ........................

(36,697) (549) (36,697) (549) ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- Balance, December 31, 1996 ...... 219,327 $ 3,638 116,631 $ 1,825 =========== =========== =========== =========== At December 31, 1996, the remaining stock options outstanding are at exercise prices ranging from $10.24 to $24.62 per share. The options exercised during the year ended December 31, 1996 were at prices from $7.37 to $19.09.

27 The per share weighted-average fair value of stock options granted during 1996 and 1995 was $1.75 and $2.12 on the date of grant using the Black Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions: 1996 - expected dividend yield of 2.9%, risk-free interest rate of 5.8%, volatility ratio of .024, and expected life of 4.8 years: 1995 - expected dividend yield of 2.9%, risk-free interest rate of 5.9%, volatility ratio .024, and expected life of 3.5 years. The Company applies APB Opinion No. 25 in accounting for its Plan and, accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for its stock options in the financial statements. Had the Company determined compensation cost based on the fair value at the grant date for its stock options under SFAS No. 123, the Company's net income would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated below: Years ended December 31, --------------------------------- 1996 1995 --------------- --------------- Net earnings - As reported $ 7,425 $ 7,975 Pro forma 7,378 7,969 Earnings per share - As reported $ 1.65 $ 1.77 Pro forma 1.64 1.76 Pro forma net earnings and earnings per share reflect only options granted in 1996 and 1995. Therefore, the full impact of calculating compensation cost for stock options under SFAS No. 123 is not reflected in the pro forma net earnings and earnings per share amounts presented above because compensation cost is reflected over the options vesting period of 2 years and proforma compensation cost for options granted prior to January 1, 1995 is not considered. In September 1993 Missoula Bancshares, Inc. granted 1,000 shares of common stock to a senior officer to be issued on or after September 1998 at the election of the officer, with vesting over the five year period. In conjunction with the merger of Missoula Bancshares, Inc., the Company issued 14,930 shares which was the vested portion of the 1,000 shares at the exchange ratio, and converted the non-vested portion to options for 8,040 Company shares which will fully vest at the end of September 1998. The related compensation expense, based on the fair value of the common stock at the date of the grant, is being charged to expense over the service period with a corresponding credit to paid-in capital.

31 16. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS. Financial instruments has been defined to generally mean cash or a contract that implies an obligation to deliver cash or another financial instrument to another entity. For purposes of the Company's Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition, this includes the following items: December 31, 1996 December 31, 1995 --------------------------- -------------------------- (dollars in thousands) Amount Fair Value Amount Fair Value ------------- ----------- ----------- ---------- Financial Assets: Cash .................................................. $ 24,666 24,666 20,979 20,979 Interest bearing cash deposits ........................ 2,483 2,483 4,350 4,350 Investment securities ................................. 59,399 59,410 52,987 53,238 Mortgage-backed securities ............................ 46,106 46,076 37,868 37,888 Loans ................................................. 386,641 388,639 353,263 360,252 FHLB and Federal Reserve stock ........................ 8,926 8,926 7,635 7,635 Financial Liabilities: Deposits .............................................. $ 321,739 322,033 291,585 291,720 Advances from the FHLB of Seattle ..................... 143,289 143,209 120,714 121,118 Repurchase agreements and other borrowed funds ........ 14,993 14,098 22,305 22,324 Financial assets and financial liabilities other than securities are not traded in active markets. The above estimates of fair value require subjective judgments and are approximate. Changes in the following methodologies and assumptions could significantly affect the estimates. These estimates may also vary significantly from the amounts that could be realized in actual transactions. Financial Assets - The estimated fair value approximates the book value of cash and interest bearing cash accounts. For securities, the fair value is based on quoted market prices. The fair value of loans is estimated by discounting future cash flows using current rates at which similar loans would be made. The fair value of FHLB and Federal Reserve stock approximates the book value. Financial Liabilities - The estimated fair value of demand and savings deposits approximates the book value since rates are periodically adjusted to market rates. Certificates of deposit fair value is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using current rates for similar deposits. Repurchase agreements have variable interest rates, or are short term, so fair value approximates book value. Advances from the FHLB of Seattle fair value is estimated by discounting future cash flows using current rates for advances with similar weighted average maturities. 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, so no adjustment is necessary to reflect these commitments at market value. See Note 4 to consolidated financial statements.

32 17. CONTINGENCIES: 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 or results of operations.
