3)   Stock Split:

     The company completed a three-for-two stock split May 23, 1997. As a
     result, all per share amounts from time periods preceding this date have
     been restated to illustrate the effect of the stock split. Any fractional
     shares were paid in cash.

4)   Computation of Earnings Per Share:

     Earnings per common share were computed by dividing net income by the
     weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the
     period presented. Stock options are considered common stock equivalents,
     but are excluded from earnings per share computations due to immateriality.

5)   Ratios:

     Return on Average Assets (ROAA) was calculated based on the average of the
     total assets for the period. Return on Beginning Equity (ROBE) was
     calculated based on the Shareholders' Equity (Capital) at the beginning of
     each period presented.

6)   Cash Dividend Declared:

     On September 26, 1997, the Board of Directors declared a $.12 per share
     quarterly cash dividend to stockholders of record on October 10, 1997,
     payable on October 24, 1997.

Interest-Rate-Risk ("IRR") Component

FDICIA requires each federal banking agency to revise its risk-based capital
standards to ensure that they take adequate account of IRR, concentration of
credit risk and the risks of nontraditional activities, as well as reflect the
actual performance and expected risk of loss on multi-family residential loans.
Since January of 1994, the OTS has included an IRR component to its risk-based
capital standards. An association's measured IRR is the change that occurs in
its Net Portfolio Value ("NPV") as a result of a 200 basis point increase or
decrease in interest rates (whichever leads to the lower NPV) divided by the
estimated economic value (present value) of its assets; NPV equals the present
value of expected cash inflows from existing assets less the present value of
expected cash outflows from existing liabilities, plus the present value of net
expected cash inflows from

                                        8

<PAGE>   9

existing off-balance sheet contracts. A normal level of IRR is less than 2%.
Only institutions whose measured IRR exceeds 2% must maintain an IRR component.
An association must maintain capital of at least 8% of risk- weighted assets
after the IRR component is deducted.

In August of 1995, the Agencies adopted a joint final rule to revise their
risk-based capital standards to ensure that they take adequate account of
interest rate risk. As of September 1, 1995, when evaluating the capital
adequacy of a bank, examiners from the Agencies consider exposure to declines in
the economic value of the bank's capital due to changes in interest rates. A
bank may be required to hold additional capital for IRR if it has significant
exposure or a weak interest rate risk management process. Concurrent with the
publication of this final rule, the Agencies proposed for comment a joint policy
statement describing the process they will use to measure and assess a bank's
interest rate risk. This joint policy statement was superseded by an updated
Joint Policy Statement in June of 1996. Any impact the joint final rule and
Joint Policy Statement may have on the National Banks or the State Bank cannot
be predicted at this time.

In addition, the Agencies published a joint final rule on September 6, 1996,
amending their respective risk- based capital standards to incorporate a measure
for market risk to cover all positions located in an institution's trading
account and foreign exchange and commodity positions wherever located. This
final rule took effect on January 1, 1997 and implements an amendment to the
BASLE Capital Accord that sets forth a supervisory framework for measuring
market risk. The final rule effectively requires banks and bank holding
companies with significant exposure to market risk to measure that risk using
their own internal value-at-risk model, subject to the parameters of the final
rule, and to hold a sufficient amount of capital to support the institution's
risk exposure.


        Qualified Thrift Lender - In order to avoid certain restrictions on
        their operations, all savings associations are required to meet a
        Qualified Thrift Lender ("QTL") test. The regulations require that
        institutions maintain a percentage of qualifying lending activity of at
        least 65% as measured monthly. The Savings Bank reported on its
        September 30, 1997 Thrift Financial Report QTL ratios of 76%, 74%, and
        75% for July, August and September 1997.

        Whitefish, Eureka and Missoula do not have a similar requirement.

        Accounting for Transfers of Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities

        In June 1996, the FASB issued SFAS No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers
        and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities"
        (the "Statement"). This Statement provides consistent standards for
        distinguishing transfers of financial assets that are sales from
        transfers that are secured borrowings, and provides accounting and
        reporting standards for transfers and servicing of financial assets and
        extinguishments of liabilities.

        This Statement amends SFAS No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments
        in Debt and Equity Securities," to clarify that a debt security may not
        be classified as held-to-maturity if it can be prepaid or otherwise
        settled in such a way that the holder of the security would not recover
        substantially all of its recorded investment.




                                        9

<PAGE>   10



        This Statement also rescinded all previous guidance regarding the
        accounting for mortgage servicing rights and provides guidance for the
        capitalization of originated as well as purchased mortgage servicing
        rights and the measurement of impairment of those rights.

        This Statement is effective for transfers and servicing of financial
        assets and extinguishments of liabilities occurring after December 31,
        1996, and is to be applied prospectively. Earlier or retroactive
        application is not permitted. The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS
        No. 125 as of January 1, 1997.

        During the quarter ended September 30, 1997, $59,479 in servicing assets
        were recognized and $21,740 amortized. Year-to-date assets of $175,881,
        and amortization of $45,006 was recorded. The estimated fair value of
        the servicing assets was $779,000 at September 30, 1997 with a book
        value of $552,391. There was no activity or balance in the valuation
        allowance for impairment of recognized servicing assets during 1997. The
        fair value of the servicing assets was determined by stratification of
        the associated loan balances by rate, applying prepayment assumptions to
        each stratified group, and calculating a present value of resulting
        expected cash flows.

        Earnings Per Share

        In March 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" (the
        "Statement"). The Statement applies to entities with publicly held
        common stock or potential common stock and is effective for financial
        statements issued for periods ending after December 15, 1997.

        SFAS No. 128 replaces APB Opinion 15, "Earnings Per Share." Opinion 15
        required that entities with simple capital structures present a single
        "earnings per common share" on the face of the income statement, whereas
        those with complex capital structures had to present both "primary" and
        "fully diluted" earnings per share ("EPS"). Primary EPS shows the amount
        of income attributed to each share of common stock if every common stock
        equivalent were converted into common stock. Fully diluted EPS considers
        common stock equivalents and all other securities that could be
        converted into common stock.

        SFAS No. 128 simplifies the computation of EPS by replacing the
        presentation of primary EPS with a presentation of basic EPS. The
        Statement requires dual presentation of basic and diluted EPS by
        entities with complex capital structures. Basic EPS includes no 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 of securities that could
        share in the earnings of an entity, similar to fully diluted EPS. The
        Company has a simple capital structure, therefore minimal impact from
        SFAS No. 128 is expected.

        Disclosure of Information About Capital Structure

        In March 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 129, "Disclosure of Information
        About Capital Structure" (the "Statement"). The Statement applies to all
        entities and is effective for financial statements issued for periods
        ending after December 15, 1997. Statement No. 129 consolidates existing
        disclosure requirements.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS -

Financial Condition - This section discusses the changes in Statement of
Financial Condition items from December 31, 1996 to September 30, 1997.

At September 30, 1997, total consolidated assets increased by $27,976,000, or
5.12%, over the December 31, 1996 level. This increase was primarily in loan
growth of $25,454,000, an increase of 6.58%.

Real Estate loans increased $6.0 million during the period, while commercial
loans increased $12.0 million and Consumer loans increased $7.6 million.

Loans sold to the secondary market amounted to $43.3 million and $62.9 million
during the first nine months of 1997 and 1996, respectively.

The amount of loans serviced for others on September 30, 1997 was $116.3
million.

Total deposits increased nearly $25.3 million, with $19.2 million of the
increase occurring in interest bearing deposits. Non-interest bearing deposits
increased $6.1 million or 9.5%. Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank
("FHLB") decreased $16.6 million while securities sold under repurchase
agreements and other borrowed funds increased $7.4 million, and $6.8 million
respectively.

The OTS' minimum average liquidity requirement for the Savings Bank is 5.0%. For
the three months ended September 30, 1997, the Savings Bank's liquidity percent
age averaged 6.8%. The Savings Bank's principal source of funds are generated by
deposits, payments on loans and securities, short and long term borrowings and
net income. If there should ever be insufficient funds derived from these areas,
the Savings Bank may borrow additional amounts from the FHLB, subject to
regulatory limits.

All four institutions are members of the FHLB at September 30, 1997.
Accordingly, management of the Company has a wide range of versatility in
managing the liquidity and asset/liability mix for each individual institution
as well as the Company as a whole. The following table demonstrates the
available FHLB lines of credit and the extent of utilization as of September 30,
1997:

Classified Assets and Reserves

Non-performing assets, consisting of non-accrual loans, accruing loans 90 days
or more overdue, and real estate and other assets acquired by foreclosure or
deed-in-lieu thereof, net of related reserves, amounted to $1.4 million or .25%
of total assets at September 30, 1997, as compared to $1.6 million, or .29% of
total assets, at December 31, 1996.

Impaired Loans

As of September 30, 1997, there were no loans considered impaired as measured
under SFAS No. 114 criterion. Interest income on impaired loans and interest
recoveries on loans that have been charged off, is recognized on a cash basis
after principal has been fully paid, or at the time a loan becomes fully
performing per the terms of the loan.

Minority Interest

The Minority Interest on the consolidated statement of financial condition
represents the minority stockholders' share in the Retained Earnings of the
Company. These are shares of Eureka and Whitefish that are still outstanding.
The Company has extended an offer to each minority stockholder notifying them
that the Company would buy their shares at the current book value. As of
September 30, 1997, the Company owns 46,900 shares of Whitefish and 46,439
shares of Eureka. The Company's ownership of Whitefish and Eureka is 94% and
93%, respectively.

Results of Operations - The nine months ended 9/30/97 compared to the nine
months ended 9/30/96. The following discussion pertains to the consolidated
income for the Company.

Net income of $6.598 million for the first nine months of 1997 was an increase
of $212,000, or 3.3% over the $6.386 million, adjusted for the SAIF and merger
expenses, in the same period in 1996. Earnings per share were $.97 for 1997 and
$.94 in 1996. Return on average assets was 1.57% and 1.63% for 1997 and 1996,
respectively, while the return on beginning equity was 16.93% and 18.19% for the
same periods. Increased earnings from the net interest margin were somewhat
offset by an increased provision for possible loan losses, and increased
expenses from new office locations.

Loan Loss Provision

The provision for loan losses was $561,000, up from $464,000 during the same
period in 1996, reflecting the increase in the volume of loans, and losses
experienced. As discussed above the level of non-performing assets remains at a
relatively low level compared to the peer group.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income for the nine months was $17.834 million, an increase of
$1.082 million, or 6.46%, over 1996. More net earning assets, as discussed
above, was the primary reason for this increase.

The Company's net interest income is determined by its interest rate spread
(i.e., the difference between the yields earned on its earning assets, and the
rates paid on its interest-bearing liabilities) and the relative amounts of
earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. The following table sets forth

INTEREST RATE SPREAD

One way to protect against interest rate volatility is to maintain a comfortable
interest spread between yields on assets and the rates paid on interest bearing
liabilities. As shown below, our net interest margin was unchanged in 1997 at 
4.63%. Higher interest cost on deposits and borrowings, were somewhat offset by
increased yield loans and investments. An increase in non-interest bearing
liabilities, and asset growth resulted in significantly higher net interest 
income.

[1] Weighted averages are computed without the effect of compounding daily
    interest.

[2] Includes dividends received on capital stock of the Federal Home Loan Bank.

[3] The net interest margin (net yield on average interest earning assets) is
    interest income from loans and investments less interest expense from
    deposits, FHLB advances, and other borrowings, divided by the total amount
    of earning assets.

Non-Interest Income

Non-interest income decreased $85,000, or 1.4% from 1996. Loan fees and service
charges on deposit accounts were up $162,000 while other income decreased by
$230,000, primarily from a reduction in commissions on insurance sales, and a
non-recurring $70,000 recovery in 1996. Gain on sale of investments was $17,000
below the amount recorded in 1996.

Non-Interest Expense

Non-interest expense increased by $950,000, or 8.0%, with the largest portion of
the increase in compensation and employee benefits, which increased $542,000, or
8.6%. Data processing expenses increased $147,000, the result of increased
volumes of loan and deposit accounts. Occupancy expense was also up
substantially, $217,000, or 17.9%. Opening of the new branches, volume related
increases, plus other normal increases resulted in these higher expenses.

Income Taxes

The effective combined federal and state tax rate was reduced from 39.1% in 1996
to 36.7% in 1997. Increased investment in tax free bonds was the primary reason
for the reduced expense.

Results of Operations - The three months ended 9/30/97 compared to the three
months ended 9/30/96. The following discussion pertains to the consolidated
income for the Company:

Net income was $2.318 million, or $.34 per share, for the third quarter of 1997,
compared with $1.499 million, or $.22 per share, for the same quarter of 1996.
1996 earnings were impacted by a one-time assessment to recapitalize the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) Savings Association Insurance Fund (SAIF),
and merger related expenses which resulted in a net earnings reduction of $658
thousand, or $.10 per share, adjusted for the three-for-two stock split in 1997.
Return on average assets and return on beginning equity in the third quarter of
1997 were 1.62% and 16.77%, respectively, compared with returns of 1.66% and
17.98% for the same quarter of 1996 after adjustments for the SAIF and merger
expenses. The lower return, as a percentage of assets, was the result of the
sizeable asset growth of $38.548 million, or 7.2%. Stockholder equity at the
beginning of the quarter was $6.6 million, or 13.6% greater than the third
quarter of 1996. The

                                       13

higher equity amount resulted in the reduced return on equity ratio. The capital
level remains very strong at 10% of assets.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income for the quarter was $6.162 million, an increase of $381,000,
or 6.66%, over the same period in 1996. More net earning assets was the primary
reason for this increase. Loan balances have increased $30.7 million from
September 30, 1996, an increase of 8.0%. All loan classifications have
increased, with commercial loans up $17.9 million, or 19.1%, consumer loans up
$9.3 million, or 10.4%, and real estate loans up $3.9 million, or 1.9%. Total
investments including mortgage backed securities, increased $3.3 million or
3.3%. Total deposits increased $24.7 million, or 7.7%, with $8.5 million of the
increase in non-interest bearing deposits. Federal Home Loan Bank advances, and
other borrowed funds provided the balance of the funding for the increase in
earning assets.

Loan Loss Provisions and Non-Performing Assets

The third quarter provision for loan losses was $189,000, down from $249,000
during the same quarter in 1996. Non-performing assets are at .35% of loans at
September 30, 1997, well below the average of the Company's peer group which was
 .83% at June 30, 1997, the most recent information available. The reserve for
loan losses was 244% of non-performing assets as of September 30, 1997.

Non-interest Income

Non-interest income decreased $5,000, or .2% from the third quarter of 1996.
Loan fees and service charges on deposit accounts were up $72,000 while other
income decreased by $60,000, primarily from a reduction in commissions on
insurance sales. Gain on sale of investments was $17,000 below the amount
recorded in 1996.

Non-interest Expense

Non-interest expense increased by $261,000, or 6.2%, over the third quarter of
1996, excluding the SAIF and merger expenses. The largest portion of the
increase was in compensation and employee benefits which increased $149,000, or
6.8%. Data processing expenses increased $40,000 the result of increased volumes
of loan and deposit accounts. Occupancy expense was also up substantially,
$65,000, or 15.1%. Opening of four new branches, volume related increases, plus
other normal increases resulted in these higher expenses.

Income Taxes

The effective tax rate was reduced from 38.3% in 1996 to 36.8% in 1997.
Increased investment in tax free bonds was the primary reason for the reduced
expense.
