FIRST INTERSTATE BANCSYSTEM OF MONTANA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
(Dollars in thousands)
(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated
financial statements contain all adjustments (all of which are of a normal
recurring nature) necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial
position at June 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996, and the results of
consolidated operations and cash flows for each of the six month periods
ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles. The balance sheet information at December 31, 1996
is derived from audited consolidated financial statements, however, certain
reclassifications have been made to conform to the June 30, 1997
presentation.
In June 1996, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 125, "Accounting
for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of
Liabilities." SFAS No. 125 requires the Company to recognize as separate
assets the rights to service mortgage loans for others, whether the
servicing rights are acquired through purchases or loan originations.
Servicing rights are initially recorded at fair value based upon the
present value of estimated future cash flows. Subsequently, the servicing
rights are assessed for impairment, with impairment losses recognized in
the statement of income in the period the impairment occurs. For purposes
of performing the impairment evaluation, the related portfolio must be
stratified on the basis of certain risk characteristics including loan
type and note rate. SFAS No. 125 also specifies that financial assets
subject to prepayment, including loans that can be contractually prepaid or
otherwise settled in such a way that the holder would not recover
substantially all of its recorded investment, be measured like debt
securities available-for-sale or trading securities under SFAS No. 115. The
Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 125 as of January 1, 1997. The
adoption did not have a material effect on the financial position or
results of operations of the Company.
(2) CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include
cash on hand, amounts due from banks and Federal funds sold for one-day-
periods.
(3) COMPUTATION OF EARNING PER SHARE
Earnings per common share are computed by dividing net income less
preferred stock dividends by the weighted average number of shares of
common stock outstanding during the period presented. Stock options
outstanding are considered common stock equivalents, and are included in
computations of weighted average shares outstanding.

(4) CASH DIVIDENDS
On July 21, 1997, the Company paid a cash dividend on second quarter
earnings of $1.00 per share to stockholders of record on that date. It has
been the Company's practice to pay quarterly dividends based upon earnings.
The July 1997 dividend represents 30% of the Company's net income for the
quarter ended June 30, 1997.

(7) ACQUISITIONS
On February 5, 1997, First Interstate Bank of Montana, N.A. purchased the
assets of Mountain Financial, a loan production office located in Eureka,
Montana. The total cash purchase price of the assets acquired aggregated
$1,726, of which $166 was for premises and equipment and the remaining
$1,560 was for loans acquired.
During June 1997, the Company finalized its allocation of purchase price
related to the 1996 acquisitions of First Interstate Bank of Montana, N.A.,
First Interstate Bank of Wyoming, N.A. and Mountain Bank of Whitefish.
Changes in preliminary estimates of the fair value of loans, other assets
and other liabilities resulted in a $3.5 million decrease in goodwill.

(8) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
In the normal course of business, the Company is named or threatened to be
named as defendant in various lawsuits, some of which involve claims for
substantial amounts of actual and/or punitive damages. With respect to
each of these suits it is the opinion of management, following consultation
with legal counsel, the suits are without merit or in the event the
plaintiff prevails, the ultimate liability or disposition thereof will not
have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition or
the results of operations.
During 1985, the Company entered into a partnership agreement with two
outside parties for the purpose of purchasing certain land and building
with an aggregate cost of approximately $20,000. The Company is a tenant
in the building and owns a 50% undivided interest in the property.
Indebtedness of the partnership in the amount of $10,617 at June 30, 1997
is guaranteed by each of the partners.
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 standby letters of credit. These instruments involve, in
varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of
amounts recorded in the consolidated balance sheet.
Standby letters of credit and financial guarantees written are conditional
commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a
customer to a third party. Most commitments extend for no more than two
years. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is
essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to
customers. The Company holds various collateral supporting those
commitments for which collateral is deemed necessary.
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long
as there is no violation of any condition established in the commitment
contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other
termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the
commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total
commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.
The Company evaluates each customer's creditworthiness on a case-by-case
basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the
Company upon extension of credit, is based on management's credit
evaluation of the customer. Collateral held varies but may include
accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, and income-
producing commercial properties.

(9) ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS NOT YET ADOPTED
In February 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share," which
simplifies the standards for computing earnings per share ("EPS") by
replacing the presentation of primary EPS with a presentation of basic EPS
on the face of the income statement for all entities with complex capital
structures. SFAS No. 128 also requires a reconciliation of the numerator
and the denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and
denominator of the diluted EPS computation.
Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to
common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution
that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock
were exercised or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared
in the earnings of the entity.
This statement is effective for financial statements issued for periods
ending after December 15, 1997. Earlier application is not permitted.
Once effective, this statement requires restatement of all prior period EPS
data. Pro forma basic and diluted net income per share as determined under
this statement will not differ from amounts currently reported by the
Company.
In February 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 129, "Disclosure of Information
about Capital Structure," which lists required disclosures about capital
structure that had been included in a number of previously existing
separate statements and opinions. SFAS No. 129 is effective for financial
statements for periods ending after December 15, 1997.
In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive
Income," which establishes standards for reporting and display of
comprehensive income and its components (revenues, expenses, gains, and
losses) in a full set of general-purpose financial statements. This
statement requires that all items required to be recognized under
accounting standards as components of comprehensive income be reported in a
financial statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other
financial statements. This statement does not require a specific format
for that financial statement but requires that an entity display an amount
representing comprehensive income for the period in that financial
statement.
This statement requires that an entity (a) classify items of other
comprehensive income by their nature in a financial statement and (b)
display the accumulated balance of other comprehensive income separately
from retained earnings and additional paid-in-capital in the equity section
of a statement of financial position.
This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
1997. Reclassification of financial statements for earlier periods
provided for comparative purposes is required.

ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(Dollars in thousands)
The following discussion focuses on significant factors affecting the
financial condition and results of operations of First Interstate BancSystem
of Montana, Inc. ("the Company") during the three and six month periods ended
June 30, 1997, with comparisons to 1996 as applicable.
ACQUISITION ACTIVITY
On October 1, 1996, the Company purchased all of the outstanding capital
stock of First Interstate Bank of Wyoming, N.A. and First Interstate Bank of
Montana, N.A.; and, on December 18, 1996 , acquired all of the outstanding
capital stock of Mountain Bank of Whitefish (collectively, "the acquired
banks"). The transactions were accounted for under purchase accounting
rules. Goodwill, representing the excess of cost over net assets acquired,
is being amortized using the straight-line method over periods of 15 to 25
years.
ASSET LIABILITY MANAGEMENT
The primary objective of the company's asset liability management process is
to optimize net interest income while prudently managing balance sheet risks
by understanding the levels of risk accompanying its decisions and monitoring
and managing these risks. The ability to optimize net interest income is
largely dependent on the Company's ability to manage the sensitivity of net
interest income to actual or potential changes in interest rates. The
Company uses interest sensitivity "gap" analysis, income simulation models,
and, to a limited extent, duration analysis (including estimation of borrower
prepayment options) to evaluate the potential effects of changing interest
rates on its interest margin.
EARNING ASSETS
Earning assets of $1.9 billion at June 30, 1997 were $96.2 million, or 5%,
higher compared to December 31, 1996 primarily due to growth in loan volume.
The mix of earning assets changed little from December 31, 1996 with net
loans comprising approximately 77%, held-to-maturity investment securities
comprising approximately 17% and interest bearing deposits,
available-for-sale investment securities and federal funds sold comprising
the remaining 6%.
LOANS. All major categories of loans showed increases in volumes from
December 31, 1996 due to continued strong economic conditions in the
communities served by the Company's banking subsidiaries and some seasonal
increases, particularly in agricultural lending, following traditional
paydowns during the fourth quarter. Growth in net loans of 7% during the
first six months of 1997 is slightly lower than the 8.1% growth rate
experienced during the same period of 1996 indicating a slight slowing in the
economy that has been attributed to a slowing of consumer borrowing as
consumer debt rises.
INVESTMENT SECURITIES. The Company manages its investment portfolio within
established policies which provide for the management of interest rate
sensitivity risks, to meet earning objectives, to provide ample liquidity and
to provide adequate collateral to support deposit and repurchase agreement
activities. Cash proceeds from maturities, sales and principal payments
during the first six months of 1997 were generally reinvested in
held-to-maturity investment securities or used to provide additional
liquidity to fund increases in other earning assets.

<PAGE>
FEDERAL FUNDS SOLD. Federal funds sold balances increased approximately $14
million from December 31, 1996 as the Company's banking subsidiaries funded
the cash requirements of correspondent banks. Average federal funds sold
balances during the first half of 1997 of $25,753 and during 1996 of $25,462
showed only slight variance.
INCOME FROM EARNING ASSETS. Income from earning assets was $41.2 million for
the three month period ended June 30, 1997, as compared to $26.6 million for
the same period in 1996. The increase of $14.6 million or 55% resulted from
increases in earning assets through internal growth and the bank acquisitions
discussed previously. Exclusive of income from the acquired banks, interest
income for the three months ended June 30, 1997 increased approximately 13%
from the same period in 1996. Yields on average total earning assets during
the second quarter of 1997 and 1996 were 8.81% and 8.90%, respectively.
For the six month periods ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, income from earning
assets was $80.3 million and $52.9 million, respectively. Approximately 84%
of the increase is due to interest income of the acquired banks. The yield
on average total earning assets for the first six months of 1997 was 8.78%
compared to 8.85% during 1996.
FUNDING SOURCES
The Company utilizes various traditional funding sources to support its
earning asset portfolio including deposits, borrowings, federal funds
purchased and repurchase agreements.
DEPOSITS. Overall, total deposits decreased slightly from December 31, 1996
to June 30, 1997. Decreases in non-interest bearing deposits of $32.0
million during the first six months of 1997, were partially offset by
increases in interest-bearing deposits of $25.8 million during the same
period. The Company historically has experienced similar seasonal cycles in
overall deposit growth during the first half of the year.
FEDERAL FUNDS PURCHASED AND OTHER BORROWED FUNDS. Federal funds purchased
for one day periods and other borrowed funds consisting primarily of
short-term borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank increased $72.7 million
from December 31, 1996 to June 30, 1997. The increased borrowings were the
result of funding requirements related to increases in loans and Federal
funds sold during the first half of 1997.
LONG TERM DEBT. During the first half of 1997, the Company reduced its
long-term indebtedness by $8.5 million or 14%. Payments of approximately
$8.4 million on the Company's revolving term debt were funded by earnings of
the Company's banking subsidiaries.
EXPENSE OF INTEREST BEARING LIABILITIES. The Company's interest expense for
the three months ended June 30, 1997 was $18.0 million, a $ 6.8 million or
61% increase over the same period in 1996. Interest expense of the acquired
banks and additional interest costs to fund the acquisitions aggregated
approximately $6 million during the second quarter and $10.6 million
year-to-date. The remaining increase was caused by higher levels of interest
bearing liabilities, particularly federal funds purchased for one day periods
and other borrowed funds. The cost of total average interest bearing
liabilities during the first six months of 1997 of 4.4% did not change from
the same period in 1996.
PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES. The balance of the provision for loan losses is
maintained at a level that is, in management's judgment, adequate to absorb
losses inherent in the loan portfolio given past, present and expected
conditions. The provision for loan losses increased $397 and $1,129 for the
three and six month periods ended June 30, 1997, respectively, from the same
periods in 1996. A
12
<PAGE>
significant portion of these increases relate directly to the acquired banks,
$353 for the three month period and $919 for the six month period. The
remaining increases are associated with growth in loan volumes and slight
deteriorations in the agricultural and consumer loan portfolios. Although
non-performing and problem assets have shown some increases, the fundamental
economies within the Company's markets remain strong.
LIQUIDITY
The Company actively manages its liquidity position through established
policies and procedures. Management has also developed contingency plans to
address potential liquidity needs. The Company's current liquidity position
is supported largely through core deposits and from its investment portfolio.
The current investment portfolio contains a mix of maturities which provide a
structured flow of maturing and reinvestable funds that can be converted to
cash, should the need arise. Maturing balances in the loan portfolio also
provide options for managing cash flows and provide an important source of
intermediate and long-term liquidity.
Alternate sources of liquidity are provided by Federal funds lines carried
with upstream and downstream correspondent banks. Additional liquidity could
also be generated through borrowings from the Federal Reserve Bank of
Minneapolis and the Federal Home Loan Bank of Seattle. At June 30, 1997, the
Company had $8.8 million available on its revolving term loan.
OTHER OPERATING INCOME AND EXPENSE
OTHER OPERATING INCOME
Exclusive of income attributable to the acquired banks, other operating
income increased $261 or 5% during the second quarter of 1997 and decreased
less than 1% during the six months ended June 30, 1997 compared to the same
periods in the prior year. Trust and data division revenues contributed to
the increase in other operating income during the second quarter,
contributing an additional $121 of income primarily due to increases in
number of customers and transaction volumes. Year-to-date trust and data
revenues, however, show declines from the same period last year due to
non-recurring accrual adjustments made during January 1996. Service charges
on deposit accounts also contributed to the overall increase in other income,
up 5% for the quarter and year-to-date.
OTHER OPERATING EXPENSES
Overall, quarter-to-date and year-to-date other operating expense increased
approximately 55% from the same periods in the prior year. Expenses incurred
directly by the acquired banks aggregated approximately $3.6 million for the
three months ended June 30, 1997 and $8.1 million for the six months ended
June 30, 1997. In addition to the direct other operating expenses incurred
by the acquired banks, other operating expenses of the holding company and
other banking subsidiaries increased, particularly in the operations and data
divisions, due to the additional costs associated with providing support
services to the acquired banks.
SALARIES AND BENEFITS EXPENSE. Salaries and benefits expense of $18 million
for the six months ended June 30, 1997 increased 55% over the same period in
1996. Salaries and benefits expenses for the three month period ended June
30, 1997 showed a similar increase over the same period in 1996. A
significant portion of the quarter-to-date and year-to-date increases are
attributable to the acquisitions and increased staffing levels necessary to
provide operational and other support functions to the acquired banks. The
remaining increases are primarily inflationary in nature.
FURNITURE, EQUIPMENT AND OCCUPANCY EXPENSE. Exclusive of increases directly
related to the acquired banks, occupancy, furniture and equipment expenses
increased approximately $255 or 10% during the
13
<PAGE>
three month period ended June 30, 1997 and $654 or 14% for the six
month period ended June 30, 1997. Increases are principally due to increased
depreciation on data processing equipment upgrades occurring during the
second half of 1996 and the first half of 1997 and the continuing upgrades
and expansion of the Company's micro-computer and ATM networks.
OTHER EXPENSES. Other expenses increased $2.6 million for the three months
ended June 30, 1997 compared to the same period in the prior year and $5.1
million for the six months ended June 30, 1997 compared to the same period in
the prior year. Of these increases, $1.2 million and $2.9 million for the
three and six month periods, respectively, relate directly to the acquired
banks. The remaining quarter-to-date and year-to-date increases from the
previous year are principally due to increases in advertising and public
relations costs, additional legal and professional costs, and increases in
postage, supply and telephone expenses.
Exclusive of expenses directly related to the acquired branches, advertising
and public relation expenses for the three and six month periods ending June
30, 1997 were approximately $229 higher than the same periods in 1996. These
increases are attributable to budgeted increases in advertising expense of
approximately $109 for the first half of 1997 combined with fluctuations in
the timing of public relation events in the current year compared to 1996.
Legal and professional expenses increased $367 during the three months ended
June 30, 1997 compared to the same period in the previous year and $634
during the first half of 1997 compared to the first half of 1996. Increases
of $300 and $484, not directly related to the acquired banks, are due
principally to consulting fees associated with revision of the Company's
employee job evaluation system and accruals for financial planning activities.
Office supply, postage and telephone expenses increased $273 during the
second quarter and $588 year-to-date compared to the same periods in 1996,
exclusive of expenses incurred by the acquired banks. These additional
expenses are primarily due to increased costs resulting from growth in the
Company's customer deposit base.
The above increases in other expense were offset by decreases in royalty fees
of $151 during the first half of 1997 due to the termination of a franchise
agreement with First Interstate Bancorp during May 1996.
Other quarter-to-date and year-to-date variances in other expenses from the
previous year are not considered individually significant.
