ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS
On September 20, 2000 the Boards of Directors of Glacier Bancorp, Inc. (the
"Company") and WesterFed Financial Corporation approved the terms of a merger
agreement whereby Glacier Bancorp, Inc. would acquire WesterFed Financial
Corporation with a combination of Company stock and cash as consideration. It is
desired by the Company to file the necessary registration statements with the
Securities Exchange Commission, and proxy documents to shareholders of both
companies, incorporating by reference the previously filed financial
information. Since the Company's acquisition of Mountain West Bank of Coeur
d'Alene, accounted for as a pooling of interests, was effective in February
2000, the financial information related to Mountain West Bank was not included
in the Company's 1999 annual report. Therefore this report of additional
information incorporating the Mountain West Bank's financial information is
being filed.
This item 5 includes the following:
A. Audited Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 1999 and 1998,
and for each of the years in the three year period ended December 31, 1999;
B. Selected financial data for and as of the five years ended December 31,
1999;
C. Management's discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results
of operations as of and for the year ended December 31, 1999;
D. Management's discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results
of operations as of and for the year ended December 31, 1998;
E. Various schedules in connection with the management's discussion and
analysis.

Independent Auditors' Report
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Glacier Bancorp, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Glacier Bancorp,
Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the related
consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity and comprehensive
income, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended
December 31, 1999. 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 did
not audit either the 1997 or 1998 financial statements of Mountain West Bank,
acquired by Glacier Bancorp, Inc. on February 4, 2000 in a pooling of interests,
which financial statements reflect net interest income and net income
constituting 7.5% and 4.7%, respectively, of the related 1997 consolidated
totals, and total assets constituting 10.3% and net interest income and net
income constituting 9.6% and 4.0%, respectively, of the related 1998
consolidated totals. Those statements were audited by other auditors whose
report has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the
amounts included for Mountain West Bank, is based solely on the report of the
other auditors.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An 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.
The consolidated financial statements give retroactive effect to the merger of
Glacier Bancorp, Inc. and Mountain West Bank on February 4, 2000, which has been
accounted for as a pooling of interests as described in Notes 1 and 19 to the
consolidated financial statements.
In our opinion, based on our audits and the report of the other auditor, 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, 1999 and 1998, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period
ended December 31, 1999, in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America.

The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Mountain West Bank
In our opinion, the balance sheet as of March 31, 1999 and the related
statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in stockholders' equity and
of cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended March 31, 1999 of
Mountain West Bank (not presented separately herein) present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position, results of operations and cash flows
of Mountain West Bank at March 31, 1999 and for each of the two years in the
period ended March 31, 1999, in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management; our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our
audits of these statements in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America, which require that we plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements,
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We
believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. We have not
audited the financial statements of Mountain West Bank for any period subsequent
to March 31, 1999.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) GENERAL
Glacier Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company"), a Delaware corporation organized in 1990,
is a multi-bank 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 to 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 eight subsidiaries, Glacier Bank ("Glacier"), First Security Bank of
Missoula ("First Security"), Glacier Bank of Whitefish ("Whitefish"), Glacier
Bank of Eureka ("Eureka"), Valley Bank of Helena ("Valley"), Big Sky Western
Bank, ("Big Sky"), Mountain West Bank in Idaho, ("Mountain West") and Community
First, Inc. ("CFI"). All significant inter-company transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation. The Company owns 94% of the outstanding stock of
Whitefish, 98% of Eureka, and 100% of Glacier, First Security, Valley, Big Sky,
Mountain West and CFI.
Valley was acquired on August 31, 1998 through an exchange of stock with HUB
Financial Corp. (HUB), formerly the parent company of Valley and the minority
shareholders of Valley. The transaction with the minority shareholders was
accounted for as a purchase. Financial information from August 31, 1998 forward
includes the results of operations previously attributable to the minority
interest. Big Sky was acquired on January 20, 1999 and Mountain West was
acquired on February 4, 2000. The pooling of interests method of accounting was
used for the merger transactions with HUB, Big Sky, and Mountain West. Under
this method, financial information for each of the periods presented includes
the combined companies as though the merger had occurred either as of or prior
to the earliest date presented.
(c) CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, cash held as demand deposits at
various banks and regulatory agencies, interest bearing deposits and federal
funds sold with original maturities of three months or less.
(d) INVESTMENT SECURITIES
Debt securities for which the Company has the positive intent and ability to
hold to maturity are classified as held-to-maturity and are stated at amortized
cost. Debt and equity securities held primarily for the purpose of selling in
the near term are classified as trading securities and are
8
<PAGE> 9
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES...CONTINUED
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 that approximates the
level-yield interest method. The cost of any investment, if sold, is determined
by specific identification. Declines in the fair value of securities below
carrying value that are other than temporary are charged to expense as realized
losses and the related carrying value is reduced to fair value.
Effective January 1, 1999, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS 133). SFAS 133 establishes accounting
and reporting standards that derivative instruments (including certain
derivative instruments embedded in other contracts) be recorded in the balance
sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its fair value. SFAS 133
requires that changes in the derivatives' fair value be recognized currently in
earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. The adoption of SFAS
133 had no impact on the financial statements of the Company except that it
allowed for a one-time reclassification of the investment portfolio from
held-to-maturity to either trading or available-for-sale. The net effect on the
consolidated statement of financial condition of this reclassification of all
the Company's held-to-maturity securities, with an amortized cost of
approximately $8,272,000, was an increase in total assets of $288,000, deferred
tax liabilities of $98,000 and unrealized gains on securities available-for-sale
of $190,000.
(e) LOANS RECEIVABLE
Loans that are intended to be held to maturity are reported at their unpaid
principal balance less chargeoffs, specific valuation accounts, and any deferred
fees or costs on originated loans. Purchased loans are reported net of
unamortized premiums or discounts. Discounts and premiums on purchased loans and
net loan fees on originated loans are amortized over the expected life of loans
using methods that approximate the interest method.
Loans on which the accrual of interest has been discontinued are designated as
nonaccrual loans. Accrual of interest on loans is discontinued either when
reasonable doubt exists as to the full, timely collection of interest or
principal or when a loan becomes contractually past due by ninety days or more
with respect to interest or principal unless such past due loan is well secured
and in the process of collection. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status,
interest previously accrued but not collected is reversed against current period
interest income. Interest accruals are resumed on such loans only when they are
brought fully current with respect to interest and principal and when, in the
judgement of management, the loans are estimated to be fully collectible as to
both principal and interest.
(f) LOANS HELD FOR SALE
Mortgage and commercial loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary
market are carried at the lower of cost or estimated market value in the
aggregate. Net unrealized losses are recognized by charges to income. A sale is
recognized when the Company surrenders control of the loan and consideration,
other than beneficial interest in the loan, is received in exchange. A gain is
recognized to the extent the selling price exceeds the carrying value.
(g) ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
Management's periodic evaluation 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.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES...CONTINUED
The Company also provides an allowance for losses on impaired loans. 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 loan'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 cases, impairment is measured by determining the current
value of the collateral, reduced by anticipated selling costs. The Company
recognizes interest income on impaired loans only to the extent the cash
payments are received. During 1999 and 1998 the amount of impaired loans was not
material.
(h) PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT
Premises and equipment are stated at cost less depreciation. Depreciation is
computed on a straight-line method over the estimated useful lives or the term
of the related lease.
(i) REAL ESTATE OWNED
Property acquired by foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure is carried at
the lower of cost or estimated fair value, less selling costs. Costs, excluding
interest, relating to the improvement of property are capitalized, whereas those
relating to holding the property are charged to expense. Fair value is
determined as the amount that could be reasonably expected in a current sale
(other than a forced or liquidation sale) between a willing buyer and a willing
seller. If the fair value of the asset minus the estimated cost to sell is less
than the cost of the property, a loss is recognized and the asset carrying value
is reduced.
(j) RESTRICTED STOCK INVESTMENTS
The Company holds stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) and the Federal
Reserve Bank (FRB). FHLB and FRB stocks are restricted because they may only be
sold to another member institution or the FHLB or FRB at their par values. Due
to restrictive terms, and the lack of a readily determinable market value, FHLB
and FRB stocks are carried at cost.
(k) GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLES
The excess of purchase price over the fair value of net assets from acquisitions
("Goodwill") is being amortized using the straight-line method over periods of
primarily 5 to 25 years. The Company assesses the recoverability of Goodwill by
determining whether the unamortized balance related to an acquisition can be
recovered through undiscounted future cash flows over the remaining amortization
period.
Core deposit intangibles represent the intangible value of depositor
relationships resulting from deposit liabilities assumed in acquisitions and are
amortized using an accelerated method based on an estimated runoff of the
related deposits, not exceeding 10 years.
(l) INCOME TAXES
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for estimated future tax
consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement
carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. The
effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is
recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
10
<PAGE> 11
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES...CONTINUED
(m) STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
Compensation cost for stock-based compensation to employees is measured at the
grant date using the intrinsic value method. Under the intrinsic value method,
compensation cost is the excess of the market price of the stock at the grant
date over the amount an employee must pay to ultimately acquire the stock and is
recognized over any related service period.
(n) LONG-LIVED ASSETS
Long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles are reviewed for
impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. An asset is deemed impaired
if the sum of the expected future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of
the asset. If impaired, an impairment loss is recognized to reduce the carrying
value of the asset to fair value. At December 31, 1999 and 1998 there were no
assets that were considered impaired.
(o) MORTGAGE SERVICING RIGHTS
The Company recognizes mortgage servicing rights on loans originated and
subsequently sold as an asset regardless of whether the servicing rights are
acquired or retained on loans originated and subsequently sold. The mortgage
servicing rights are assessed for impairment based on the fair value of the
mortgage servicing rights. As of December 31, 1999 and 1998 the carrying value
of servicing rights was approximately $1,007,000 and $967,000, respectively.
There was no impairment of carrying value at December 31, 1999 or 1998.
(p) EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings available to
common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock
outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing
such net earnings by the weighted average number of common shares used to
compute basic EPS plus the incremental amount of potential common stock
determined by the treasury stock method. Previous period amounts are restated
for the effect of stock dividends and splits.
(q) COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
Comprehensive income includes net income, as well as other changes in
stockholders' equity that result from transactions and economic events other
than those with stockholders. The Company's only significant element of other
comprehensive income is unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale
securities.
(r) RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1998 and 1997 financial
statements to conform to the 1999 presentation.
2. CASH ON HAND AND IN BANKS
The subsidiary banks are required to maintain an average reserve balance with
either the Federal Reserve Bank or in the form of cash on hand. The amount of
this required reserve balance at December 31, 1999 was $6,993,000.

Substantially all of the Company's loans receivable are with customers within
the Company's market area. Although the Company has a diversified loan
portfolio, a substantial portion of its customers' ability to honor their
contracts is dependent upon the economic performance in the Company's market
areas.
The weighted average interest rate on loans was 8.53% and 8.77% at December 31,
1999 and 1998, respectively
At December 31, 1999 ,1998 and 1997 serviced loans sold to others were
$159,451,000, $169,378,000, and $156,288,000, 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 extent credit and letters of
credit, and involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk. The Company's
exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the
financial instrument for commitments to extend credit is represented by the
contractual amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit
policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for
on-balance-sheet instruments.

The 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
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, 1999, the
subsidiary 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%. Each of the subsidiaries was considered
well capitalized by the respective regulator as of December 31, 1999.
During 1997, an additional 70,961 shares of stock were issued to increase the
capital of Big Sky.

11. FEDERAL AND STATE INCOME TAXES...CONTINUED
There is no valuation allowance at December 31, 1999 and 1998 because management
believes that it is more likely than not that the Company's deferred tax assets
will be realized by offsetting future taxable income from reversing taxable
temporary differences and anticipated future taxable income.
The current portion of taxes payable was approximately $108,000 and $491,000 at
December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
Retained earnings at December 31, 1999 includes approximately $3,600,000 for
which no provision for Federal income tax has been made. This amount represents
the base year 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.
12. 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, 1999, 1998, and 1997 was approximately $791,000,
$552,000 and $620,000 respectively.
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, 1999, 1998 and 1997 was approximately $288,000, $256,000, and
$195,000, respectively
The Company has a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (SERP) 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, 1999, 1998 and 1997 was approximately
$10,000, $26,000, and $46,000, respectively.
The Company has a non-funded deferred compensation plan for directors and senior
officers. The plan provides for the deferral of cash payments of up to 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
$43,000, $52,000, $156,000, for the years ending December 31, 1999, 1998, and
1997, 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 (losses) for the years ended 1999, 1998, and 1997
were approximately ($33,000), $12,000, and $66,000, respectively.
The Company has entered into employment contracts with fourteen senior officers
that provide benefits under certain conditions following a change in control of
the Company.

</TABLE>
There were approximately 319,000 option shares in 1999 that were not included
because the option exercise price exceeded the market value. All option shares
were included as dilutive stock options in 1998 and 1997.
14. 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 provided 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 provided for the grant of options limited
to 279,768 shares to certain full-time employees of the Company. In April 1999
the Directors 1994 Stock Option Plan, and the Employees 1995 Stock Option Plan,
were amended to provide 100,000 and 600,000 additional shares for the Directors
and Employees Plans, respectively. 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 (cash-less exercise). 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. The term of the options may not
23
<PAGE> 24
14. STOCK OPTION PLANS...CONTINUED
exceed five years from the date the options are granted. The employee options
vest over a period of two years and the director options vest over a period of
six months.
In 1994, Mountain West Bank adopted an Employee Stock Option Plan with 28,000
shares authorized, and a Directors' Stock Option plan with 12,000 shares
authorized. The option price at which the common stock may be purchased upon
exercise of options granted under the plan must be at least equal to the per
share market value at the date the option is granted. The options are fully
vested at the time of grant and must be exercised within ten years of the date
of the grant. All option shares are adjusted for stock splits and stock
dividends. In July 1994, both plans were amended to provide additional shares.
The Directors' plan received authorization for an additional 20,028 shares, and
the Employees' plan received an additional 46,732 shares. This plan was merged
with the Company's plan with all options converted at the exchange ratio of the
acquisition.
At December 31, 1999, total shares available for option grants to employees and
directors are 776,198. Changes in shares granted for stock options for the years
ended December 31, 1999, 1998, and 1997, are summarized as follows:

During the year ended December 31, 1999, there were 10,019 options exercised
through cash-less exercises at a weighted average market price of $21.77.
The range of exercise prices on options outstanding at December 31, 1999 is as

</TABLE>
The options exercised during the year ended December 31, 1999 were at prices
from $8.99 to $20.15.
The per share weighted-average fair value of stock options granted during 1999,
1998 and 1997 was $5.04, $4.76, and $4.18, respectively, on the date of grant
using the Black Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions:
1999 - expected dividend yield of 3.3%, risk-free interest rate of 6.2%,
volatility ratio of .23, and expected life of 4.9 years: 1998 - expected
dividend yield of 2.5%, risk-free interest rate of 4.6%, volatility ratio of
.22, and expected life of 5.2 years: 1997 - expected dividend yield of 2.9%,
risk-free interest rate 5.8%, volatility ratio of .22, and expected life of 5.5
years.
The exercise price of all options granted has been equal to the fair market
value of the underlying stock at the date of grant 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
of the option itself 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:

17. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Financial instruments have 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:

</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,
federal funds sold and interest bearing cash deposits. For investment and
mortgage-backed 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 Bank 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. 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. Repurchase
agreements and other borrowed funds have variable interest rates, or are short
term, so fair value approximates book value.
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.
18. CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS
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.

19. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
On August 31, 1998, the Company issued 536,154 shares of common stock in
exchange for all of the outstanding stock of HUB Financial Corporation (HUB),
parent company of Valley Bank of Helena (Valley). As a result of this
transaction, the Company acquired the majority interest, 86.5%, of Valley. This

combination has been accounted for as a pooling-of-interests combination and,

Company's financial statements for the same period. For the December 31, 1998
financial statements Mountain West Bank's March 31, 1999 financial statements
were combined with the Company's December 31, 1998 financial statements. An
adjustment of $75,000 has been made to stockholders' equity as of December 31,
1999, to eliminate the effect of including Mountain West Bank's results of
operations for the three months ended March 31, 1999, in both the years ended

20. BRANCH ACQUISITIONS
On October 8, 1999, the Company, through its largest subsidiary Glacier Bank,
acquired the two Butte, Montana offices of Washington Mutual Bank with
approximately $73,000,000 in deposits. This acquisition was accounted for as a
purchase. The premium paid of $4,767,000 included a core deposit intangible of

22. OPERATING SEGMENT INFORMATION
As of December 31, 1998, the company adopted FASB Statement 131, Financial
Reporting for Segments of a Business Enterprise. This statement requires that a
public business enterprise report financial and descriptive information about
its reportable operating segments. According to the statement, operating
segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate
financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief
operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing
performance.
The Company evaluates segment performance internally based on individual bank
charter, and thus the operating segments are so defined. All segments, except
for the segment defined as "other," are based on commercial banking operations.
The operating segment defined as "other" includes the Parent company, smaller
nonbank operating units, and eliminations of transactions between segments.
The accounting policies of the individual operating segments are the same as
those of the Company described in note 1. Transactions between operating
segments are primarily conducted at fair value, resulting in profits that are
eliminated for reporting consolidated results of operations. Expenses for
centrally provided services are allocated based on the estimated usage of those
services.

times non-performing loans at December 31, 1999. Total deposits decreased $3
million, with borrowed funds used to support the additional asset growth. Net
income decreased $287 thousand, or 62 percent, when comparing the year ended
December 31, 1999 to the year ended December 31, 1998, the result of investments
in new branches, a data system conversion, and increased marketing expense. Net
interest income increased $568 thousand, or 18 percent. Non-interest income
increased $108 thousand, and non-interest expense increased $1.1 million. The
efficiency ratio increased from 80.53 percent for the year ended March 31, 1999
to 90.87 percent for the year ended December 31, 1999 due to the increase in
expenses previously mentioned.

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

========================================================================
</TABLE>
Net interest income increased $4 million in 1999 over 1998. The increase was
primarily due to increases in volumes. Market interest rates increased during
1999. The two-year treasury note was at 6.1% at December 31, 1999 which is a 161
basis point increase from year-end 1998. The 30-year treasury bond was at 6.46%,
up 135 basis points from the prior year. The spread between the 2-year rates and
30-year rates has declined from 53 basis points to 27 basis points. The decrease
in spread may result in a smaller interest margin as short-term funding costs
may increase at a faster pace than the income on earning assets. For additional
information see section "Management's Discussion and Analysis".
LENDING ACTIVITY
GENERAL
The Banks focus their lending activity primarily on several types of loans: 1)
first-mortgage, conventional loans secured by residential properties,
particularly single-family, 2) installment lending for consumer purposes (e.g.,
auto, home equity, etc.), and 3) commercial lending that concentrates on
targeted businesses. Management's Discussion & Analysis and Note 4 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements, contain more information about the lending
portfolio.

Neither scheduled maturities nor scheduled contractual amortization of loans are
expected to reflect the actual term of the Banks' loan portfolio. Based on
historical information, the average life of loans is substantially less than
their contractual terms because of prepayments and, in the case of conventional
mortgage loans (i.e., those loans which are neither insured nor partially
guaranteed by the Federal Housing Administration or the Veterans
Administration), due-on-sale clauses, which give the Company the right to
declare a loan immediately due and payable in the event, among other things, the
borrower sells the real property subject to the mortgage and the loan is not
repaid.

SOURCES OF FUNDS
GENERAL
Deposits are the most important source of the Banks' funds for lending and other
business purposes. In addition, the Banks derive funds from loan repayments,
advances from the FHLB of Seattle, repurchase agreements, and loan sales. Loan
repayments are a relatively stable source of funds, while interest bearing
deposit inflows and outflows are significantly influenced by general interest
rate levels and money market conditions. Borrowings and advances may be used on
a short-term basis to compensate for reductions in normal sources of funds such
as deposit inflows at less than projected levels. They also may be used on a
long-term basis to support expanded activities and to match maturities of
longer-term assets. Deposits obtained through the Banks have traditionally been
the principal source of funds for use in lending and other business purposes.
Currently, the Banks have a number of different deposit programs designed to
attract both short-term and long-term deposits from the general public by
providing a wide selection of accounts and rates. These programs include regular
statement savings, interest-bearing checking, money market deposit accounts,
fixed rate certificates of deposit with maturities ranging from three months to
five years, negotiated-rate jumbo certificates, non-interest demand accounts,
and individual retirement accounts.
Management's Discussion and Analysis section contains information relating to
changes in the overall deposit portfolio.
Deposits are obtained primarily from individual and business residents of the
Banks' market area. The Banks issue negotiated-rate certificates of deposit with
balances of $100,000, or more, and have paid a limited amount of fees to brokers
to obtain deposits. The following table illustrates the amounts outstanding for
deposits greater than $100,000, according to the time remaining to maturity:

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

From time to time, primarily as a short-term financing arrangement for
investment or liquidity purposes, Glacier has made use of repurchase agreements
with various securities dealers. This process involves the "selling" of one or
more of the securities in the Glacier's portfolio and by entering into an
agreement to "repurchase" that same security at an agreed upon later date. A
rate of interest is paid to the dealer for the subject period of time. In
addition, although Glacier has offered retail repurchase agreements to its
retail customers, the Government Securities Act of 1986 imposed confirmation and
other requirements which generally made it impractical for financial
institutions to offer such investments on a broad basis. Through policies
adopted by the Board of Directors, Glacier and Valley enter into repurchase
agreements with local municipalities, and large balance customers, and have
adopted procedures designed to ensure proper transfer of title and safekeeping
of the underlying securities. The other banks have not utilized repurchase
agreements for liquidity purposes.
The following chart illustrates the average balances and the maximum outstanding
month-end balances for FHLB advances and repurchase agreements:

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
The Company is a Delaware corporation and at December 31, 1999 had seven
commercial banks as subsidiaries: Glacier Bank, Glacier Bank of Whitefish,
Glacier Bank of Eureka, First Security Bank of Missoula, Valley Bank of Helena,
Big Sky Western Bank, and Mountain West Bank of Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. The
following discussion and analysis includes the effect of the
pooling-of-interests merger with HUB Financial Corporation (parent company of
Valley Bank of Helena), Big Sky Western Bank, Mountain West Bank, and the
purchase accounting treatment of the minority shares of Valley Bank of Helena.
Prior period information has been restated to include amounts from the HUB
Financial Corporation merger, the Big Sky merger, and the Mountain West merger.
The Company reported earnings of $12,352,000 for the year ended December 31,
1999, or $1.19 basic earnings per share, and $1.17 diluted earnings per share,
compared to $11,375,000, or $1.12 basic earnings per share and $1.10 diluted
earnings per share, for the year ended December 31, 1998, and $10,737,000, or
$1.10 basic and $1.08 diluted earnings per share for the year ended December 31,
1997. The continued improvement in net income can be attributed to an increase
in earning assets, management of net interest margin, and strong non-interest
income. The following narrative and tables focus on the significant financial
changes which have taken place over the past years and include a discussion of
the Company's financial condition, results of operations, and capital resources
The objective of liquidity management is to maintain cash flows adequate to meet
current and future needs for credit demand, deposit withdrawals, maturing
liabilities and corporate operating expenses. This source of funds is generated
by deposits, principal and interest payments on loans, sale of loans and
securities, short and long term borrowings, and net income. In addition, all six
subsidiaries are members of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Seattle. This
membership provides for established lines of credit in the form of advances that
are a supplemental source of funds for lending and other general business
purposes. During 1999, all seven financial institutions maintained liquidity
levels in excess of regulatory requirements and deemed sufficient to meet
operating cash needs. The parent company is dependent on the payment of
principal and interest on its investments and dividends from its subsidiary
banks.
Retention of a portion of Glacier Bancorp, Inc.'s earnings resulted in
stockholders' equity at December 31, 1999 of $85,056,000, or 8.7% of assets,
which compares with $84,146,000, or 10.7% of assets at December 31, 1998. The
increase in assets of $187,199,000, or 23.8% during 1999 has outpaced earnings
retention and increases resulting from the exercise of stock options. The
stockholders' equity ratio remains well above required regulatory levels, and
above the average of the Company's peers, providing flexibility in the
management of assets.
FINANCIAL CONDITION

EFFECT OF INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES
Generally accepted accounting principles require the measurement of financial
position and operating results in terms of historical dollars, without
consideration for change in relative purchasing over time due to inflation.
Virtually all assets of a financial institution are monetary in nature,
therefore, interest rates generally have a more significant impact on a
company's performance than the effect of inflation.
GAP ANALYSIS
The following table gives a description of our GAP position for various time
periods. As of December 31, 1999, we had a negative GAP position at six months
and twelve months. The cumulative GAP as a percentage of total assets for six
months is a negative 24.22% which compares to a positive 2.51% at December 31,
1998 and positive .95% at December 31, 1997. The December 31, 1998 and 1997
percentages exclude the Mountain West Bank amounts. The table also shows the GAP
earnings sensitivity, and earnings sensitivity ratio, along with a brief
description as to how they are calculated. The traditional one dimensional view
of GAP is not sufficient to show a bank's ability to withstand interest rate
changes. Superior earnings power is also a key factor in reducing exposure to
higher interest rates. Using this analysis to join GAP information with earnings
data produces a better picture of our strength and ability to handle interest
rate changes. The methodology used to compile this GAP information is based on
our mix of assets and liabilities and the historical experience accumulated
regarding their rate sensitivity.

are included in the less than 6 months category. Mortgage-backed securities are
at the anticipated principal payments based on the weighted average life.

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. The interest spread for 1999 increased slightly from 3.73% to
3.74%. The net interest margin decreased slightly in 1999 from 4.65% to 4.57%,
primarily the result of an increase in interest earning assets at lower rates.
Increased asset levels, and increased interest-free funding resulted in
significantly higher net interest income.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998
FINANCIAL CONDITION
The Company acquired two Butte, Montana offices of Washington Mutual, with
approximately $73,000,000 in deposits, on October 8, 1999. Those branches have
been fully integrated into Glacier Bank, the largest subsidiary of the Company.
The following information includes the impact of that acquisition which was
accounted for as a purchase.
Total assets increased $187,199,000 or 23.8% over the December 31, 1998 asset
level. Total loans outstanding increased 14.2%, or $81,020,000 with the largest
increase occurring in the commercial classification which increased $63,720,000,
or 29.5%. Consumer loans increased $31,464,000 or 25.6%. Residential real estate
loans and loans held for sale declined $13,114,000 or 5.5%, in accordance with
management's plan to reduce the balances on real estate loans which generally
have lower interest rates than other loan types. Investment securities increased
$90,225,000, or 75.8%. Higher investment yields, a steeper yield curve, and the
Butte branch acquisition from Washington Mutual provided an opportunity to
increase the investment portfolio.
Total liabilities increased $186,289,000, or 26.5%, with non-interest bearing
deposits up $10,973,000, or 9.5%, and interest bearing deposits up $86,630,000
or 20.1%. Federal Home Loan Bank advances increased $82,764,000, or 65.7%.
Securities sold under repurchase agreements and other borrowed funds were up
$7,907,000, or 42.3%.
Total stockholders' equity increased $910,000 or 1.1%, the result of earnings
retention, offset by a $6,604,000 net change in accumulated other comprehensive
income (loss), the result of unrealized losses on securities available-for-sale.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
INTEREST INCOME - Interest income was $64,719,000 compared to $58,828,000 for
the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively, a $5,891,000 or 10%
increase. The weighted average yield on the loan and investment portfolios
decreased from 8.2% to 8.0%. This decrease in yield was offset by increased
volumes in loans, and the change in loan mix from real estate loans to higher
yielding commercial and consumer loans, increasing interest income.
INTEREST EXPENSE - Interest expense was $27,635,000 for the year ended December
31, 1999, up from $25,470,000 in 1998, a $2,165,000, or 8.5%, increase. The
increase is due to higher balances in interest bearing deposits, Federal Home
Loan Bank advances, repurchase agreements and other borrowed funds during 1999.
The increased interest expense resulting from the higher balances in interest
bearing liabilities was partially offset by reduced rates and by the increase in
non-interest bearing deposits. The yield on interest bearing liabilities
declined from 4.5% in 1998 to 4.2% in 1999.
NET INTEREST INCOME - Net interest income was $37,084,000 compared to
$33,358,000 in 1998, an increase of $3,726,000, or 11.2%, the net result of the
items discussed in the above paragraphs.
45
<PAGE> 46
PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES - The provision for loan losses was $1,723,000 for
1999, down slightly from $1,735,000 for 1998. Total loans charged off, net of
recoveries, were $669,000 in 1999, down from the $721,000 experienced in 1998.
The allowance for loan losses balance was $6,722,000 at year end 1999, up from
$5,668,000 at year end 1998, an increase of $1,054,000. At December 31, 1999,
the non-performing assets (non-accrual loans, accruing loans 90 days or more
overdue, real estate acquired by foreclosure or deed-in-lieu thereof, and
repossessed personal property) totaled $2,278,000 or .23% of total assets;
compared to $3,067,000 or .39% of total assets at December 31, 1998. The
allowance for loan losses was 295% of non-performing assets at December 31,
1999, up from 185% the prior year end. The allowance for loan losses as a
percentage of loans increased to 1.02% from .98% at the 1999 and 1998 year ends.
The allowance for losses has increased primarily because of the changing mix of
loans from residential real estate to more commercial and consumer loans which
historically have greater credit risk along with higher loan rates.
NON-INTEREST INCOME - Total non-interest income of $12,809,000 was down
$787,000, or 5.8% from 1998 which included one time gains on the sale of the
credit card portfolio of $457,000, and $102,000 from the sale of the trust
business. Loan fees and charges were approximately the same as the prior year.
Increased volumes in deposit accounts resulted in an increase in fee income of
$499,000 from service charges and other fees. Other income was down $485,000
most of which was the gain on sale of credit card and trust business in 1998.
The gain on sale of investments was $23,000 in 1999, down from $62,000 in 1998.
Gain on sale of loans decreased $754,000, or 19.5%, from 1998. Real estate loans
sold totaled $155,096,000 in 1999 down from $201,921,000 in 1998. Commercial
loan sales totaled $10,796,000 and $8,756,000 for 1999 and 1998, respectively.
NON-INTEREST EXPENSE - Total non-interest expense increased from $27,170,000 to
$29,096,000 an increase of $1,926,000, or 7.1%. Compensation, employee benefits,
and related expenses increased $1,166,000, or 8.7% from 1998, with the new
branches and expanded data processing staff included. Occupancy and equipment
expense increased $585,000, or 16.3% from 1998, the result of bringing more data
processing functions in-house, the substantial investment in enhanced technology
for transaction imaging and internet banking, and additional expenses from the
new branch offices. Data processing and other expenses were up $269,000, or
2.7%, primarily the result of increased volumes and $78,000 in amortization of
the premium paid for the Butte acquisition. The other category of expense is the
minority interest in subsidiaries which decreased $94,000, resulting from the
acquisition of minority shares in 1998.
The efficiency ratio (non-interest expense)/(net interest income + non-interest
income), was 58.3% in 1999, up from 57.9% in 1998, as compared with similar
sized bank holding companies nationally which average approximately 63.5%.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998 COMPARED TO DECEMBER 31, 1997
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Total assets increased $38,276,000, or 5.1% over the December 31, 1997 asset
level. Total loans outstanding increased 8.6%, or $45,206,000 with the largest
increase occurring in the commercial classification which increased $56,992,000
or 35.9%. Real estate loans decreased $9,130,000 or 3.7% as a result of
management's decision to not retain long-term mortgages in the portfolio in the
low interest rate environment. Consumer loans decreased $1,040,000, or .8%, the
result of selling the credit card portfolio. Investment securities decreased
$10,112,000, or 7.8%. With the flat yield curve during 1998 there were limited
attractive investment opportunities.
Total liabilities increased $27,667,000, or 4.1%, with interest bearing deposits
up $45,811,000, or 11.9%, and non-interest bearing deposits up $13,153,000 or
12.8%. Federal Home Loan Bank advances decreased $21,774,000, or 14.7%.
Securities sold under repurchase agreements and other borrowed funds were down
$11,253,000, or 37.6%.
Total stockholders' equity increased $10,609,000 or 14.4%, primarily the result
of earnings retention.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
INTEREST INCOME - Interest income was $58,828,000 compared to $55,612,000 for
the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively, a $3,216,000, or 5.8%
increase. The weighted average yield on the loan and investment portfolios
decreased from 8.4% to 8.2%. This decrease in yield was offset by increased
volumes in loans, and the change in loan mix from real estate loans to higher
yielding commercial loans which increased interest income.
INTEREST EXPENSE - Interest expense was $25,470,000 for the year ended December
31, 1998, up slightly from $24,925,000 in 1997, a $545,000 increase. The
increase is due to higher balances in interest bearing deposits, which was
largely offset by lower amounts outstanding in Federal Home Loan Bank advances,
repurchase agreements and other borrowed funds during 1998. Increased balances
in non-interest bearing deposits also reduced the need for interest bearing
funding.

NET INTEREST INCOME - Net interest income was $33,358,000 compared to
$30,687,000 in 1997, an increase of $2,671,000, or 8.7%, the net result of the
items discussed in the above paragraphs.
PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES - The provision for loan losses was $1,735,000 for
1998, up from $1,052,000 for 1997. Total loans charged off, net of recoveries,
were $721,000 in 1998, up from the $504,000 experienced in 1997. The allowance
for loan losses balance was $5,668,000 at year end 1998, up from $4,654,000 at
year end 1997, an increase of $1,014,000. At December 31, 1998, the
non-performing assets (non-accrual loans, accruing loans 90 days or more
overdue, real estate acquired by foreclosure or deed-in-lieu thereof, and
repossessed personal property) totaled $3,067,000 or .39% of total assets;
compared to $2,032,000 or .27% of total assets at December 31, 1997. The reserve
for loan losses as a percentage of loans increased to .98% from .88% at the 1998
and 1997 year ends. The reserve for losses has increased primarily because of
the changing mix of loans from residential real estate to more commercial loans
which historically carry additional credit risk along with higher interest
rates.
NON-INTEREST INCOME - Total non-interest income of $13,596,000 was up
$2,539,000, or 23.0% from 1997. Loan fees and charges were $190,000, or 10%,
greater than the prior year. Gain on sale of loans of $3,862,000 was an increase
of $1,364,000, or 54.6% from the prior year. The volume of real estate loans
sold increased from $110,092,000 to $201,921,000 in 1998. Increased volumes in
deposit accounts was the reason for the $479,000 increase in service charges and
other fees. Other income, which includes a gain on the sale of the credit card
portfolio of $457,000, and $102,000 from the sale of the trust business, was up
$649,000.
NON-INTEREST EXPENSE - Total non-interest expense increased from $23,709,000 to
$27,170,000, an increase of $3,461,000, or 14.6%. Of this increase $852,000 was
from merger and reorganization expenses, leaving an increase from operations of
$2,609,000, or 11.0%. Compensation, employee benefits, and related expenses
increased $1,143,000 or 9.3% from 1997. Occupancy expense increased $655,000, or
22.3% from 1997. The change to an in-house data center, a new branch of Valley
Bank of Helena, and a new branch and corporate office building in Kalispell were
the main reasons for the increase. Data processing expense increased $34,000,
the result of Mountain West Bank, which incurred the added expense of a data
conversion during the year. The efficiency ratio was 57.8% in 1998, up from
56.8% in 1997, and compares favorably with similar sized bank holding companies
nationally which average about 62%.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
MARKET RISK
Market risk is the risk of loss in a financial instrument arising from adverse
changes in market rates/prices such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange
rates, commodity prices, and equity prices. The Company's primary market risk
exposure is interest rate risk. The ongoing monitoring and management of this
risk is an important component of the Company's asset/liability management
process which is governed by policies established by its Board of Directors that
are reviewed and approved annually. The Board of Directors delegates
responsibility for carrying out the asset/liability management policies to the
asset/liability committee (ALCO). In this capacity ALCO develops guidelines and
strategies impacting the Company's asset/liability management related activities
based upon estimated market risk sensitivity, policy limits and overall market
interest rate levels/trends.
INTEREST RATE RISK
Interest rate risk represents the sensitivity of earnings to changes in market
interest rates. As interest rates change, the interest income and expense
streams associated with the Company's financial instruments also change thereby
impacting net interest income (NII), the primary component of the Company's
earnings. ALCO utilizes the results of a detailed and dynamic simulation model
to quantify the estimated exposure of NII to sustained interest rate changes.
While ALCO routinely monitors simulated NII sensitivity over a rolling two-year
horizon, it also utilizes additional tools to monitor potential longer-term
interest rate risk. The simulation model captures the impact of changing
interest rates on the interest income received and interest expense paid on all
assets and liabilities reflected on the Company's statement of financial
condition. This sensitivity analysis is compared to ALCO policy limits which
specify a maximum tolerance level for NII exposure over a one year horizon,
assuming no balance sheet growth, given a 200 basis point (bp) upward and
downward shift in interest rates. A parallel and pro rata shift in rates over a
12-month period is assumed. The following reflects the Company's NII sensitivity
analysis as of December 31, 1999 and 1998 as compared to the 10% Board approved
policy limit.

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