                          Independent Auditors' Report


The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Glacier Bancorp, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial condition
of Glacier Bancorp, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996 and 1995 and
the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity and
cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31,
1996. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. As audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as 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. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results of
their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year
period ended December 31, 1996, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

As discussed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements, the Company
changed its method of accounting for investments in debt and equity securities
on January 1, 1994 to adopt the provisions of the Financial Accounting
Standards Board's statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 115,
"Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities".

                   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.

<PAGE>   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

<PAGE>   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.

<PAGE>   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.

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.

Approximately 90 percent of the Company's total loans receivable are with
customers located in Western Montana.

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.

At December 31, 1996, the Company had outstanding commitments as follows

Savings associations that meet or exceed their capital requirements may make
capital distributions during any one year up to an amount that would reduce its
surplus capital ratio to no less than one-half of its surplus capital ratio at
the beginning of the calendar year. 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.

There was no valuation allowance at December 31, 1996 and 1995 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 operating income.

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.

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.

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.

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:

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.

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:

</TABLE>

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.

</TABLE>

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.
