PART II

         ITEM 5.  OTHER INFORMATION - ASSESSMENT  OF YEAR 2000 ISSUES.

     The Company established a Y2K committee, consisting of senior management
and its internal auditor, to consider computer-related issues commonly referred
to as the Year 2000 (Y2K) problem.  In December, 1997, the Board of Directors
also approved a budget in excess of $300,000 for equipment and expenses to meet
year 2000 issues and assure that the Company would be Y2K compliant.  Nearly
half that amount represents the purchase of new equipment to replace equipment
that was slated for replacement irrespective of year 2000 concerns; the Company
did not accelerate the replacement date because of year 2000 issues.
Consequently, at least $150,000 of this budgeted amount is not solely Y2K cost.
Through December, 1998, the Company has spent $225,000 of that budgeted amount.
The Company estimates that 1,750 employee hours have been devoted to Y2K issues
to date with about 1,500 additional hours budgeted for 1999.  The Company
believes that these cost and employee hour estimates will be adequate.  In
addition, the Company purchased new Y2K compliant hardware and software for the
mortgage subsidiary at a cost of $101,000.  This expense was not included in the
Y2K budget described above.

     The equipment purchased and the testing programs conducted to date relate
to information technology systems.  The Company has considered problems that
might be present in non-information technology systems and is not aware of any
Y2K issues arising from non-information technology systems that would have a
material effect upon the Company. The Company itself is not dependent upon
significant non-information technology systems.

     The Company has substantially completed testing of its computer hardware
and software systems and has concluded that those critical systems will continue
to accurately process and maintain customer and Company information through and
beyond the century date change. Testing was accomplished during non-business
hours utilizing hardware and software currently in production use.  Existing
databases were modified and converted for use in the testing process. System
dates on existing hardware were advanced and processing was accomplished for
year-end 1999 through January 3, 2000; February 28 through March 1, 2000; year-
end 2000 through January 1, 2001; and several other significant dates.  The
Company believes that, by the end of 1999, any risk of Y2K problems will be
limited to business relationships with third parties.

     Remaining, unresolved hardware and software issues are not expected to be
substantial. Inland Northwest Bank (the "Bank"), the banking subsidiary of the
Company, owns and operates eleven automated teller machines (ATMs) in Washington
and Idaho.  Each of the ATMs has been scheduled for software upgrade and larger
capacity hard-drives will be installed in several of these ATMs.  The Company's
ATM provider expects to complete this work by March 31, 1999.  With replacement
of PC banking hardware, software upgrades, and purchase of a few desktop
personal computers, the Company will have substantially completed its identified
Y2K expenditures.

     The Company will focus in 1999 primarily on employee training and
contingency planning. While some additional funds will be utilized to produce
informational brochures, the more meaningful investment will be in employee time
spent dealing with customer questions and concerns.  Contingency planning will
be related primarily to concerns with Y2K compliance by third parties.
Additional testing has been accomplished with third-party vendors who provide
critical services to the Company, the most important of which is the Federal
Reserve System.

     While the Company has established and will manage a program to minimize
internal disruption due to the century date change, it is unable to fully
quantify the degree of risk that it faces due to the failure of customers,
vendors, and providers to be Y2K compliant. The Company has established
communication with its significant vendors and is monitoring their progress.
Additionally, the Bank has completed a risk assessment of all customers who
maintain significant loan or deposit relationships with the Bank. Incorporated
into the Bank's provision for loan loss calculation is the result of the Bank's
analysis of exposure to borrowing customers due to Y2K concerns. Despite these
steps taken by the Company, there is a risk that Y2K issues facing third-parties
with whom the Company must conduct business will not be resolved satisfactorily
in a timely manner. If these issues are not appropriately resolved, the
Company's business operations and, in turn, its financial position and results
could be negatively impacted. Disaster recovery and contingency plans have been
enhanced, and will receive additional attention throughout the remainder of
1999, as a means of reducing the Company's exposure to non-compliance by third-
parties.

     The Company believes that it has developed and implemented an adequate plan
to address remaining internal Y2K concerns.  Additional costs will not be
material. The Company cannot control third-party preparedness; it has
implemented procedures, however, to identify risks from third-parties. Once
risks are identified, it will have contingency plans to provide alternate means
of providing products and services to our customers through its own systems or
from Y2K compliant third parties.
