Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results anticipated for the year ending December 31, 2013 .

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 affect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change include the determination of the allowance for loan and lease losses (“ALLL” or “allowance”) and the valuations related to investments and real estate acquired in connection with foreclosures or in satisfaction of loans. For the determination of the ALLL and real estate valuation estimates, management obtains independent appraisals (new or updated) for significant items. Estimates relating to investment valuations are obtained from independent third parties.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the parent holding company and the Bank. The Bank consists of thirteen bank divisions, a treasury division and an information technology division. Each of the bank divisions operate under separate names, management teams and directors. The Company considers the Bank to be its sole operating segment as the Bank 1) engages in similar bank business activity from which it earns revenues and incurs expenses, 2) the operating results of the Bank are regularly reviewed by the Chief Executive Officer (i.e., the chief operating decision maker) who makes decisions about resources to be allocated to the Bank, and 3) financial information is available for the Bank. All significant inter-company transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

On May 31, 2013, the Company completed its acquisition of Wheatland Bankshares, Inc. (“Wheatland”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, First State Bank, a community bank based in Wheatland, Wyoming. On July 31, 2013, the Company completed its acquisition of North Cascades Bancshares, Inc. (“NCBI”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, North Cascades National Bank, a community bank based in Chelan, Washington. Both transactions were accounted for using the acquisition method, and their results of operations have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of the acquisition dates.

The Company formed GBCI Other Real Estate (“GORE”) to isolate certain bank foreclosed properties for legal protection and administrative purposes and the remaining properties are currently held for sale. GORE is included in the Bank operating segment due to its insignificant activity.

The Company owns the following trust subsidiaries, each of which issued trust preferred securities as Tier 1 capital instruments: Glacier Capital Trust II, Glacier Capital Trust III, Glacier Capital Trust IV, Citizens (ID) Statutory Trust I, Bank of the San Juans Bancorporation Trust I, First Company Statutory Trust 2001 and First Company Statutory Trust 2003. The trust subsidiaries are not included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Variable Interest Entities

The Company has equity investments in Certified Development Entities (“CDE”) which have received allocations of New Markets Tax Credits (“NMTC”). The Company also has equity investments in Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (“LIHTC”) partnerships. The CDEs and the LIHTC partnerships are variable interest entities (“VIE”).

The following table summarizes the carrying amounts of the VIE’s assets and liabilities included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 :



	September 30, 2013			December 31, 2012

Amounts presented in the table above are adjusted for intercompany eliminations. All assets presented can be used only to settle obligations of the consolidated VIEs and all liabilities presented consist of liabilities for which creditors and other beneficial interest holders therein have no recourse to the general credit of the Company.

Loans Receivable

Loans that are intended to be held-to-maturity are reported at the unpaid principal balance less net charge-offs and adjusted for deferred fees and costs on originated loans and unamortized premiums or discounts on acquired loans. Fees and costs on originated loans and premiums or discounts on acquired loans are deferred and subsequently amortized or accreted as a yield adjustment over the expected life of the loan utilizing the interest method. The objective of the interest method is to calculate periodic interest income at a constant effective yield. When a loan is paid off prior to maturity, the remaining fees and costs on originated loans and premiums or discounts on acquired loans are immediately recognized into interest income.

The Company’s loan segments, which are based on the purpose of the loan, include residential real estate, commercial, and consumer loans. The Company’s loan classes, a further disaggregation of segments, include residential real estate loans (residential real estate segment), commercial real estate and other commercial loans (commercial segment), and home equity and other consumer loans (consumer segment).

Loans that a re thirty days or more past due based on payments received and applied to the loan are considered delinquent. Loans are designated non-accrual and the accrual of interest is discontinued when the collection of the contractual principal or interest is unlikely. A loan is typically placed on non-accrual when principal or interest is due and has remained unpaid for ninety days or more. When a loa n is placed on non-accrual status, interest previously accrued but not collected is reversed against current period interest income. Subsequent payments are applied to the outstanding principal balance if doubt remains as to the ultimate collectability of the loan. Interest accruals are not resumed on partially charged-off impaired loans. For other loans on nonaccrual, interest accruals are resumed on such loans only when they are brought fully current with respect to interest and principal and when, in the judgment of management, the loans are estimated to be fully collectible as to both principal and interest.

The Company considers impaired loans to be the primary credit quality indicator for monitoring the credit quality of the loan portfolio. Loans are designated impaired when, based upon current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement and therefore, the Company has serious doubts as to the ability of such borrowers to fulfill the contractual obligation. Impaired loans include non-performing loans (i.e., non-accrual loans and accruing loans ninety days or more past due) and accruing loans under ninety days past due where it is probable payments will not be received according to the loan agreement (e.g., troubled debt restructuring). Interest income on accruing impaired loans is recognized using the interest method. The Company measures impairment on a loan-by-loan basis in the same manner for each class within the loan portfolio. An insignificant delay or shortfall in the amounts of payments would not cause a loan or lease to be considered impaired. The Company determines the significance of payment delays and shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the facts and circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length and reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest due.

A restructured loan is considered a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) if the creditor, for economic or legal reasons related to the debtor’s financial difficulties, grants a concession to the debtor that it would not otherwise consider. A TDR loan is considered an impaired loan and a specific valuation allowance is established when the fair value of the collateral-dependent loan or present value of the loan’s expected future cash flows (discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate based on the original contractual rate) is lower than the carrying value of the impaired loan. The Company made the following types of loan modifications, some of which were considered a TDR:


•	Reduction of the stated interest rate for the remaining term of the debt;


•	Extension of the maturity date(s) at a stated rate of interest lower than the current market rate for newly originated debt having similar risk characteristics; and


•	Reduction of the face amount of the debt as stated in the debt agreements.

The Company recognizes that while borrowers may experience deterioration in their financial condition, many continue to be creditworthy customers who have the willingness and capacity for debt repayment. In determining whether non-restructured or unimpaired loans issued to a single or related party group of borrowers should continue to accrue interest when the borrower has other loans that are impaired or are TDRs, the Company on a quarterly or more frequent basis performs an updated and comprehensive assessment of the willingness and capacity of the borrowers to timely and ultimately repay their total debt obligations, including contingent obligations. Such analysis takes into account current financial information about the borrowers and financially responsible guarantors, if any, including for example:


•	analysis of global, i.e., aggregate debt service for total debt obligations;


•	assessment of the value and security protection of collateral pledged using current market conditions and alternative market assumptions across a variety of potential future situations; and


•	loan structures and related covenants.

For additional information relating to loans, see Note 3.

Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses

Based upon management’s analysis of the Company’s loan portfolio, the balance of the ALLL is an estimate of probable credit losses known and inherent within the Bank’s loan portfolio as of the date of the consolidated financial statements. The ALLL is analyzed at the loan class level and is maintained within a range of estimated losses. Determining the adequacy of the ALLL involves a high degree of judgment and is inevitably imprecise as the risk of loss is difficult to quantify. The determination of the ALLL and the related provision for loan losses is a critical accounting estimate that involves management’s judgments about all known relevant internal and external environmental factors that affect loan losses. The balance of the ALLL is highly dependent upon management’s evaluations of borrowers’ current and prospective performance, appraisals and other variables affecting the quality of the loan portfolio. Individually significant loans and major lending areas are reviewed periodically to determine potential problems at an early date. Changes in management’s estimates and assumptions are reasonably possible and may have a material impact upon the Company’s consolidated financial statements, results of operations or capital.

The ALLL consists of a specific valuation allowance component and a general valuation allowance component. The specific component relates to loans that are determined to be impaired and individually evaluated for impairment. The Company measures impairment on a loan-by-loan basis based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, except when it is determined that repayment of the loan is expected to be provided solely by the underlying collateral. For impairment based on expected future cash flows, the Company considers all information available as of a measurement date, including past events, current conditions, potential prepayments, and estimated cost to sell when such costs are expected to reduce the cash flows available to repay or otherwise satisfy the loan. For alternative ranges of cash flows, the likelihood of the possible outcomes is considered in determining the best estimate of expected future cash flows. The effective interest rate for a loan restructured in a TDR is based on the original contractual rate. For collateral-dependent loans and real estate loans for which foreclosure or a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure is probable, impairment is measured by the fair value of the collateral, less estimated cost to sell. The fair value of the collateral is determined primarily based upon appraisal or evaluation of the underlying real property value.

The general valuation allowance component relates to probable credit losses inherent in the balance of the loan portfolio based on historical loss experience, adjusted for changes in trends and conditions of qualitative or environmental factors. The historical loss experience is based on the previous twelve quarters loss experience by loan class adjusted for risk characteristics in the existing loan portfolio. The same trends and conditions are evaluated for each class within the loan portfolio; however, the risk characteristics are weighted separately at the individual class level based on the Company’s judgment and experience.

The changes in trends and conditions of certain items include the following:


•	Changes in lending policies and procedures, including changes in underwriting standards and collection, charge-off, and recovery practices not considered elsewhere in estimating credit losses;


•	Changes in international, national, regional, and local economic and business conditions and developments that affect the collectability of the portfolio, including the condition of various market segments;


•	Changes in the nature and volume of the portfolio and in the terms of loans;


•	Changes in experience, ability, and depth of lending management and other relevant staff;


•	Changes in the volume and severity of past due and nonaccrual loans;


•	Changes in the quality of the Company’s loan review system;


•	Changes in the value of underlying collateral for collateral-dependent loans;


•	The existence and effect of any concentrations of credit, and changes in the level of such concentrations; and


•	The effect of other external factors such as competition and legal and regulatory requirements on the level of estimated credit losses in the Company’s existing portfolio.

The ALLL is increased by provisions for loan losses which are charged to expense. The portions of loan balances determined by management to be uncollectible are charged-off as a reduction of the ALLL and recoveries of amounts previously charged-off are credited as an increase to the ALLL. The Company’s charge-off policy is consistent with bank regulatory standards. Consumer loans generally are charged off when the loan becomes over 120 days delinquent. Real estate acquired as a result of foreclosure or by deed-in-lieu of foreclosure is classified as real estate owned until such time as it is sold.

At acquisition date, the assets and liabilities of acquired banks are recorded at their estimated fair values which results in no ALLL carried over from acquired banks. Subsequent to acquisition, an allowance will be recorded on the acquired loan portfolios for further credit deterioration, if any.

Impact of Recent Authoritative Accounting Guidance

The Accounting Standards Codification ^™ (“ASC”) is the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) officially recognized source of authoritative GAAP applicable to all public and non-public non-governmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under the authority of the federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for the Company as an SEC registrant. All other accounting literature is non-authoritative.

In June 2011, FASB amended FASB ASC Topic 220, Comprehensive Income . The amendment provides an entity the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement or in two separate but consecutive statements. Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-12, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) deferred the specific requirement of the amendment to present items that are reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income to net income separately with their respective components of net income and other comprehensive income. The amendments were effective retrospectively during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. ASU No. 2013-2, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) reversed the deferment of ASU 2011-12 and will be effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012 and early adoption is permitted. The Company early adopted ASU No. 2013-2 as of December 31, 2012. The Company has evaluated the impact of the adoption of these amendments and determined there was not a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Substantially all of the Company’s loan receivables are with customers in the Company’s geographic market areas. Although the Company has a diversified loan portfolio, a substantial portion of its customers’ ability to honor their obligations is dependent upon the economic performance in the Company’s market areas. Net deferred fees, costs, premiums, and discounts of $10,870,000 and $1,379,000 were included in the loans receivable balance at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 , respectively.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 , the majority of TDRs occurring in most loan classes was a result of an extension of the maturity date which aggregated 59 percent and 56 percent , respectively, of total TDRs. For commercial real estate, the class with the largest dollar amount of TDRs, approximately 63 percent and 44 percent , respectively, was a result of an extension of the maturity date and 25 percent and 24 percent , respectively, was due to a combination of an interest rate reduction, extension of the maturity date, or reduction in the face amount.

In addition to the TDRs that occurred during the period provided in the preceding table, the Company had TDRs with pre-modification loan balances of $14,695,000 and $30,261,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 , respectively, for which other real estate owned (“OREO”) was received in full or partial satisfaction of the loans. The majority of such TDRs for both periods was in commercial real estate.

Note 4. G oodwill

The Company performed its annual goodwill impairment test during the third quarter of 2013 and determined the fair value of the aggregated reporting units exceeded the carrying value, such that the Company’s goodwill was not considered impaired. Changes in the economic environment, operations of the aggregated reporting units, or other factors could result in the decline in the fair value of the aggregated reporting units which could result in a goodwill impairment in the future. For additional information on goodwill related to acquisitions, see Note 9.

The following schedule discloses the changes in the carrying value of goodwill:



	Three Months ended			Nine Months ended
(Dollars in thousands)	September 30, 2013		September 30, 2012	September 30, 2013	September 30, 2012
Net carrying value at beginning of period	$	119,509	106,100	106,100	106,100
Acquisitions	10,197		—	23,606	—
Net carrying value at end of period	$	129,706	106,100	129,706	106,100

The gross carrying value of goodwill and the accumulated impairment charge consists of the following:



(Dollars in thousands)	September 30, 2013			December 31, 2012
Gross carrying value	$	169,865		146,259
Accumulated impairment charge	(40,159		)	(40,159	)
Net carrying value	$	129,706		106,100

Note 5. Derivatives and Hedging Activities

As of September 30, 2013 , the Company’s interest rate swap derivative financial instruments were designated as cash flow hedges and are summarized as follows:



(Dollars in thousands)	Forecasted Notional Amount		Variable Interest Rate ¹	Fixed Interest Rate ¹		Term ²
Interest rate swap	$	160,000	3 month LIBOR	3.378	%	Oct. 21, 2014 - Oct. 21, 2021
Interest rate swap	100,000		3 month LIBOR	2.498	%	Nov 30, 2015 - Nov. 30, 2022

__________

¹ The Company pays the fixed interest rate and the counterparties pay the Company the variable interest rate.

² No cash will be exchanged prior to the term.

The hedging strategy converts the LIBOR based variable interest rate on forecasted borrowings to a fixed interest rate, thereby protecting the Company from floating interest rate variability.

The following table summarizes the fair value of the Company’s interest rate swap derivative financial instruments:



		Fair Value
(Dollars in thousands)	Balance Sheet Location	September 30, 2013		December 31, 2012
Interest rate swaps	Other liabilities	$	2,004	16,832

Pursuant to the interest rate swap agreements, the Company pledged collateral to the counterparties in the form of investment securities totaling $7,856,000 at September 30, 2013 . There was $0 collateral pledged from the counterparties to the Company as of September 30, 2013 . There is the possibility that the Company may need to pledge additional collateral in the future if there were further declines in the fair value of the interest rate swap derivative financial instruments versus the collateral pledged.

Note 6. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income

The components of accumulated other comprehensive income, included in stockholders’ equity, are as follows:



(Dollars in thousands)	September 30, 2013			December 31, 2012
Unrealized gains on available-for-sale securities	$	18,343		95,328
Tax effect	(7,136		)	(37,083	)
Net of tax amount	11,207			58,245
Unrealized losses on derivatives used for cash flow hedges	(2,004		)	(16,832	)
Tax effect	780			6,549
Net of tax amount	(1,224		)	(10,283	)
Total accumulated other comprehensive income	$	9,983		47,962

Note 7. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period presented. Diluted earnings per share is computed by including the net increase in shares as if dilutive outstanding stock options were exercised, using the treasury stock method.

Basic and diluted earnings per share has been computed based on the following:



	Three Months ended			Nine Months ended
(Dollars in thousands, except per share data)	September 30, 2013		September 30, 2012	September 30, 2013	September 30, 2012
Net income available to common stockholders, basic and diluted	$	25,628	19,444	69,098	54,758
Average outstanding shares - basic	73,945,523		71,933,141	72,804,321	71,925,664
Add: dilutive stock options and awards	76,348		40,844	65,154	97
Average outstanding shares - diluted	74,021,871		71,973,985	72,869,475	71,925,761
Basic earnings per share	$	0.35	0.27	0.95	0.76
Diluted earnings per share	$	0.35	0.27	0.95	0.76

There were 49,932 and 903,945 options excluded from the diluted average outstanding share calculation for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 , respectively, due to the option exercise price exceeding the market price of the Company’s common stock.

Note 8. Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. There is a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value are as follows:

Level 1 Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities


Level 2	Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities


Level 3	Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities

Transfers in and out of Level 1 (quoted prices in active markets), Level 2 (significant other observable inputs) and Level 3 (significant unobservable inputs) are recognized on the actual transfer date. There were no transfers between fair value hierarchy levels during the nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 .

Recurring Measurements

The following is a description of the inputs and valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, as well as the general classification of such assets and liabilities pursuant to the valuation hierarchy. There have been no significant changes in the valuation techniques during the period ended September 30, 2013 .

Investment securities: fair value for available-for-sale securities is estimated by obtaining quoted market prices for identical assets, where available. If such prices are not available, fair value is based on independent asset pricing services and models, the inputs of which are market-based or independently sourced market parameters, including but not limited to, yield curves, interest rates, volatilities, prepayments, defaults, cumulative loss projections, and cash flows. Such securities are classified in Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. Where Level 1 or Level 2 inputs are not available, such securities are classified as Level 3 within the hierarchy.

Fair value determinations of investment securities are the responsibility of the Company’s corporate accounting department. The Company contracts with independent third party pricing vendors to generate fair value estimates and the Company reviews the vendors’ inputs for fair value estimates and the recommended assignments of levels within the fair value hierarchy on a quarterly basis. The review includes the extent to which markets for investment securities are determined to have limited or no activity, or are judged to be active markets. The Company reviews the extent to which observable and unobservable inputs are used as well as the appropriateness of the underlying assumptions about risk that a market participant would use in active markets, with adjustments for limited or inactive markets. In considering the inputs to the fair value estimates, the Company places less reliance on quotes that are judged to not reflect orderly transactions, or are non-binding indications. The Company makes independent inquiries of other knowledgeable parties in testing the reliability of the inputs, including consideration for illiquidity, credit risk, and cash flow estimates. In assessing credit risk, the Company reviews payment performance, collateral adequacy, credit rating histories, and issuers’ financial statements with follow-up discussion with issuers. For those markets determined to be inactive, the valuation techniques used are models for which management verifies that discount rates are appropriately adjusted to reflect illiquidity and credit risk. The Company also independently obtains cash flow estimates that are stressed at levels that exceed those used by the independent third party pricing vendors.

Interest rate swap derivative financial instruments: fair values for interest rate swap derivative financial instruments are based upon the estimated amounts to settle the contracts considering current interest rates and are calculated using discounted cash flows that are observable or that can be corroborated by observable market data and, therefore, are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. The inputs used to determine fair value include the 3 month LIBOR forward curve to estimate variable rate cash inflows and the spot LIBOR curve to estimate the discount rate. The estimated variable rate cash inflows are compared to the fixed rate outflows and such difference is discounted to a present value to estimate the fair value of the interest rate swaps. The Company also obtains and compares the reasonableness of the pricing from an independent party.

The following schedules disclose the fair value measurement of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

Non-recurring Measurements

The following is a description of the inputs and valuation methodologies used for assets recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis, as well as the general classification of such assets pursuant to the valuation hierarchy. There have been no significant changes in the valuation techniques during the period ended September 30, 2013 .

Other real estate owned: OREO is carried at the lower of fair value at acquisition date or estimated fair value, less estimated cost to sell. Estimated fair value of OREO is based on appraisals or evaluations (new or updated). OREO is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Collateral-dependent impaired loans, net of ALLL: loans included in the Company’s loan portfolio for which it is probable that the Company will not collect all principal and interest due according to contractual terms are considered impaired. Estimated fair value of collateral-dependent impaired loans is based on the fair value of the collateral, less estimated cost to sell. Collateral-dependent impaired loans are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

The Company’s credit departments review appraisals for OREO and collateral-dependent loans, giving consideration to the highest and best use of the collateral. The appraisal or evaluation (new or updated) is considered the starting point for determining fair value. The valuation techniques used in preparing appraisals or evaluations (new or updated) include the cost approach, income approach, sales comparison approach, or a combination of the preceding valuation techniques. The key inputs used to determine the fair value of the collateral-dependent loans and OREO include selling costs, discounted cash flow rate or capitalization rate, and adjustment to comparables. Valuations and significant inputs obtained by independent sources are reviewed by the Company for accuracy and reasonableness. The Company also considers other factors and events in the environment that may affect the fair value. The appraisals or evaluations (new or updated) are reviewed at least quarterly and more frequently based on current market conditions, including deterioration in a borrower’s financial condition and when property values may be subject to significant volatility. After review and acceptance of the collateral appraisal or evaluation (new or updated), adjustments to the impaired loan or OREO may occur. The Company generally obtains appraisals or evaluations (new or updated) annually.

The following schedules disclose the fair value measurement of assets with a recorded change during the period resulting from re-measuring the assets at fair value on a non-recurring basis:

Cash and cash equivalents: fair value is estimated at book value.

Loans held for sale: fair value is estimated at book value.

Loans receivable, net of ALLL: fair value is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the rates at which similar notes would be written for the same remaining maturities. The market rates used are based on current rates the Company would impose for similar loans and reflect a market participant assumption about risks associated with non-performance, illiquidity, and the structure and term of the loans along with local economic and market conditions. Estimated fair value of impaired loans is based on the fair value of the collateral, less estimated cost to sell, or the present value of the loan’s expected future cash flows (discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate). All impaired loans are classified as Level 3 and all other loans are classified as Level 2 within the hierarchy.

Accrued interest receivable: fair value is estimated at book value.

Non-marketable equity securities: fair value is estimated at book value due to restrictions that limit the sale or transfer of such securities.

Deposits: fair value of term deposits is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using rates of similar deposits with similar maturities. The market rates used were obtained from a knowledgeable independent third party and reviewed by the Company. The rates were the average of current rates offered by the Company’s local competitors. The estimated fair value of demand, NOW, savings, and money market deposits is the book value since rates are regularly adjusted to market rates and transactions are executed at book value daily. Therefore, such deposits are classified in Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Certificate accounts and wholesale deposits are classified as Level 2 within the hierarchy.

Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) advances: fair value of non-callable FHLB advances is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using rates of similar advances with similar maturities. Such rates were obtained from current rates offered by FHLB. The estimated fair value of callable FHLB advances was obtained from FHLB and the model was reviewed by the Company, including discussions with FHLB.

Securities sold under agreements to repurchase (“repurchase agreements”) and other borrowed funds: fair value of term repurchase agreements and other term borrowings is estimated based on current repurchase rates and borrowing rates currently available to the Company for repurchases and borrowings with similar terms and maturities. The estimated fair value for overnight repurchase agreements and other borrowings is book value.

Subordinated debentures: fair value of the subordinated debt is estimated by discounting the estimated future cash flows using current estimated market rates. The market rates used were averages of currently traded trust preferred securities with similar characteristics to the Company’s issuances and obtained from an independent third party.

Accrued interest payable: fair value is estimated at 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, such that no adjustment is necessary to reflect these commitments at market value. The Company has an insignificant amount of off-balance sheet financial instruments.

The following schedules present the carrying amounts, estimated fair values and the level within the fair value hierarchy of the Company’s financial instruments:

Note 9. Mergers and Acquisitions

On May 31, 2013, the Company acquired 100 percent of the outstanding common stock of Wheatland and its wholly-owned subsidiary, First State Bank, a community bank based in Wheatland, Wyoming. First State Bank provides community banking services to individuals and businesses from banking offices in Wheatland, Torrington and Guernsey, Wyoming. As a result of the acquisition, the Company has increased its presence in the State of Wyoming and will further diversify its loan, customer and deposit base with First State Bank’s strong commitment to agriculture. First State Bank operates as a division of the Bank under the name “First State Bank, division of Glacier Bank.” The Wheatland acquisition was valued at $39,315,000 and resulted in the Company issuing 1,455,256 shares of its common stock and $11,025,000 in cash in exchange for all of Wheatland’s outstanding common stock shares. The fair value of the Company’s common stock shares issued was determined on the basis of the closing market price of the Company’s common stock shares on the May 31, 2013 acquisition date.

On July 31, 2013, the Company acquired 100 percent of the outstanding common stock of NCBI and its wholly-owned subsidiary, North Cascades National Bank, a community bank based in Chelan, Washington. North Cascades National Bank provides community banking services to individuals and businesses in central Washington, with banking offices located in Chelan, Wenatchee, East Wenatchee, Omak, Brewster, Twisp, Okanogan, Grand Coulee and Waterville, Washington. The acquisition expands the Company’s market into central Washington and further diversifies the Company’s loan, customer and deposit base due to the region’s solid economic base of agriculture, fruit processing and tourism. North Cascades National Bank operates as a division of the Bank under the name “North Cascades Bank, division of Glacier Bank.” The NCBI acquisition was valued at $30,576,000 and resulted in the Company issuing 687,876 shares of its common stock and $13,833,000 in cash in exchange for all of NCBI's outstanding common stock shares. The fair value of the Company's common stock shares issued was determined on the basis of the closing market price of the Company's common stock shares on the July 31, 2013 acquisition date.

The assets and liabilities of Wheatland and NCBI were recorded on the Company’s consolidated statements of financial condition at their estimated fair values as of the May 31, 2013 and July 31, 2013 acquisition dates, respectively, and their results of operations have been included in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations since those dates. The excess of the fair value of consideration transferred over total identifiable net assets was recorded as goodwill. The goodwill arising from the acquisitions consists largely of the synergies and economies of scale expected from combining the operations of the Company, Wheatland and NCBI. None of the goodwill is deductible for income tax purposes as both acquisitions were accounted for as tax-free exchanges. The following table discloses the calculation of the fair value of consideration transferred, the total identifiable net assets acquired and the resulting goodwill relating to the Wheatland and NCBI acquisitions:

The fair value of the Wheatland and NCBI assets acquired includes loans with fair values of $171,199,000 and $215,986,000 , respectively. The gross principal and contractual interest due under the Wheatland and NCBI contracts is $176,698,000 and $223,949,000 , respectively, all of which is expected to be collectible.

The Company incurred $594,000 and $478,000 , respectively, of Wheatland and NCBI third-party acquisition-related costs during the nine month period ended September 30, 2013 . The expenses are included in other expense in the Company's consolidated statements of operations.

Total income consisting of net interest income and non-interest income of the acquired operations of Wheatland was approximately $4,605,000 and net income was approximately $1,338,000 from May 31, 2013 to September 30, 2013 .

Total assets	$	8,047,930		7,747,440		7,632,205		300,490		415,725

Investment securities decreased $402 million, or 11 percent, during the current quarter and decreased $364 million, or 10 percent, from December 31, 2012 as the Company implemented a strategy to reduce the overall size of this portfolio. The Company continued to purchase investment securities during the current quarter, although at a much slower pace. With the growth in the loan portfolio it affords the Company the opportunity to retain higher yielding assets than what the Company could achieve with investment securities. At September 30, 2013, investment securities represented 41 percent of total assets, down from 48 percent at December 31, 2012 and 47 percent at September 30, 2012.

An encouraging trend over the last three quarters has been the organic loan growth. Excluding the loans receivable from acquisitions, the loan portfolio increased $111.7 million, or 3 percent, during the current quarter and increased $205.8 million, or 6 percent, from the prior year third quarter with increases in both the commercial real estate and commercial and industrial loan categories. Excluding the acquisitions, the largest dollar increase was in commercial loans, which increased $98.8 million, or 4 percent, from the prior quarter and increased $226.5 million, or 10 percent, from the prior year third quarter. Included in the $98.8 current quarter increase in commercial loans was an increase of $63.9 million of commercial real estate loans and $34.9 million increase in commercial and industrial loans. Excluding the acquisitions, residential real estate loans increased $22.8 million, or 4 percent, from the prior quarter and increased $13.3 million, or 3 percent, from the prior year third quarter. The decreases in consumer and other loans was primarily attributable to customers paying off home equity lines of credit as they refinanced their first mortgage.

Excluding the acquisitions, non-interest bearing deposits at September 30, 2013 increased $85.2 million, or 7 percent, during the current quarter and increased $111 million, or 9 percent, since September 30, 2012. Interest bearing deposits of $4.215 billion at September 30, 2013 included $328 million of wholesale deposits (i.e., brokered deposits classified as NOW, money market deposit and certificate accounts). Excluding the acquisitions, interest bearing deposits at September 30, 2013 decreased $125 million, or 3 percent, during the current quarter and included a decrease of $44 million in wholesale deposits. Excluding the acquisition, interest bearing deposits at September 30, 2013 decreased $252 million, or 6 percent, from September 30, 2012 primarily the result of a decrease of $417 million in wholesale deposits.

Securities sold under agreements to repurchase (“repurchase agreements”) of $314 million at September 30, 2013 decreased $100 million, or 24 percent, from the prior year third quarter and was primarily a result of a decrease of $107 million in wholesale repurchase agreements. Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) advances have remained relatively stable compared to the prior year end and the prior year third quarter and will fluctuate as necessary as the need for funding changes.

Market price per share at end of period	$	24.68		14.71		15.59		9.97		9.09

Tangible stockholders’ equity of $808 million increased $19.2 million, or 2 percent, from the prior year end as a result of Company stock issued in connection with the acquisitions and an increase in earnings retention which was offset by the decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income. Tangible book value per common share of $10.87 decreased $0.09 per share from the prior year end as a result of the increased Company stock issued in the acquisitions.

On September 26, 2013, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.15 per share, payable October 17, 2013 to shareholders of record on October 8, 2013. Future cash dividends will depend on a variety of factors, including net income, capital, asset quality, general economic conditions and regulatory considerations.

Net Interest Income

The current quarter interest income of $69.5 million increased $7.4 million, or 12 percent, over the prior quarter primarily as a result of the increase in interest income on commercial loans and the increase in interest income on the investment portfolio. The $4.4 million, or 15 percent, increase in commercial loan interest income from the prior quarter was driven by an increased volume of commercial loans during the current quarter. The current quarter increase in interest income on the investment portfolio was primarily a result of a decrease in premium amortization (net of discount accretion) on the investment securities (“premium amortization”). The Company experienced a decrease in premium amortization for a third consecutive quarter, compared to significant increases experienced during the preceding seven quarters. Included in the current quarter’s interest income was $15.2 million of premium amortization on investment securities compared to $18.4 million in the prior quarter. The current quarter decrease in premium amortization on investment securities was $3.2 million compared to a decrease of $3.0 million in premium amortization in the prior quarter.

The current quarter interest income of $69.5 million increased $7.5 million, or 12 percent, over the prior year third quarter and was also driven by the increase in interest income on the commercial loans and the increase in interest income on the investment portfolio. The current quarter interest income on commercial loans of $34.3 million increased $4.0 million, or 13 percent, over the prior year third quarter as a result of increased volume of commercial loans. The current quarter interest income on investment securities of $19.5 million increased $4.3 million, or 28 percent, over the prior year third quarter of which $4.3 million was attributable to the decrease in premium amortization.

The current quarter interest expense of $7.2 million was unchanged from the prior quarter and decreased $1.7 million, or 19 percent, from the prior year third quarter. The decrease in interest expense from the prior year third quarter was a result of decreases in borrowing and deposit interest rates. The cost of total funding (including non-interest bearing deposits) for the current quarter was 41 basis points compared to 43 basis points for the prior quarter and 54 basis points for the prior year third quarter.

The current quarter net interest margin as a percentage of earning assets, on a tax-equivalent basis, was 3.56 percent, an increase of 26 basis points from the prior quarter net interest margin of 3.30 percent. The increase in the net interest margin was driven by an increased yield on the investment securities and a shift in the earning assets from investment securities to the higher yielding loan portfolio. The current quarter increase in the investment securities yield was primarily attributable to a decrease in the premium amortization which was consistent with the prior quarter. Of the 33 basis points increase in yield on the investment securities during the current quarter, 28 basis points was due to the decrease in premium amortization. The premium amortization in the current quarter accounted for a 82 basis points reduction in the net interest margin compared to a 103 basis points reduction in the prior quarter and 111 basis points reduction in the net interest margin in the prior year third quarter.

Non-interest Income

Non-interest income for the current quarter totaled $23.9 million, an increase of $651 thousand over the prior quarter and a decrease of $101 thousand over the same quarter last year. Service charge fee income increased $2.1 million, or 17 percent, from the prior quarter and increased $2.1 million, or 16 percent, from the prior year third quarter which was driven by increases in deposit accounts and changes in internal deposit processing. Gain of $7.0 million on the sale of loans for the current quarter decreased $451 thousand, or 6 percent, from the prior quarter and decreased $1.7 million, or 20 percent, from the prior year third quarter. As expected, the Company experienced a slowdown in refinance activity as mortgage rates moved up significantly in the third quarter. The decrease in gain on sale of loans was more than offset by the decrease in premium amortization on investment securities, both of which were attributable to the continuing slowdown of refinance activity. Other income of $2.1 million for the current quarter decreased $402 thousand, or 16 percent, from the prior quarter primarily as a result of a decrease in income related to other real estate owned (“OREO”). Included in other income was operating revenue of $92 thousand from OREO and gain of $341 thousand on the sales of OREO, which totaled $433 thousand for the current quarter compared to $715 thousand for the prior quarter and $531 thousand for the prior year third quarter.

Non-interest expense of $50.4 million for the current quarter increased by $1.9 million, or 4 percent, from the prior quarter and increased by $190 thousand, or 38 basis points, from the prior year third quarter. Compensation and employee benefits increased by $2.6 million, or 10 percent, from the prior quarter and increased $3.4 million, or 14 percent, from the prior year third quarter primarily as a result of the acquisitions. Outsourced data processing expense increased $419 thousand, or 52 percent, from the prior quarter and increased $431 thousand, or 54 percent, from the prior year third quarter again as a result of the acquired banks’ outsourced data processing expense. OREO expense decreased $1.9 million, or 65 percent, from the prior quarter and decreased $5.3 million, or 84 percent, from the prior year third quarter. The current quarter OREO expense of $1.0 million included $418 thousand of operating expense, $394 thousand of fair value write-downs, and $237 thousand of loss on sale of OREO. OREO expense will fluctuate as the Company continues to work through non-performing loans and dispose of foreclosed properties. Other expense increased by $1.4 million, or 16 percent, over the prior year third quarter primarily from legal and professional expenses associated with the acquisitions and other miscellaneous expense.

Efficiency Ratio

The efficiency ratio for the current quarter was 54 percent compared to 55 percent for the prior year third quarter. The decrease in the efficiency ratio was primarily driven by the increase in net interest income which exceeded the increase in non-interest expense.

Provision for Loan Losses

The following table summarizes the provision for loan losses, net charge-offs and select ratios relating to the provision for loan losses for the previous eight quarters:



(Dollars in thousands)	Provision for Loan Losses		Net Charge-Offs		ALLL as a Percent of Loans		Accruing Loans 30-89 Days Past Due as a Percent of Loans		Non-Performing Assets to Total Sub-sidiary Assets

Fourth quarter 2011	8,675		9,252		3.97	%	1.42	%	2.92	%

Net charged-off loans of $2.0 million during the current quarter increased $995 thousand, or 97 percent, compared to the prior quarter and decreased $1.5 million, or 42 percent, from the prior year third quarter. The current quarter provision for loan losses of $1.9 million increased $829 thousand from the prior quarter and decreased $793 thousand from the prior year third quarter. Loan portfolio growth, composition, average loan size, credit quality considerations, and other environmental factors will continue to determine the level of provision for loan loss expense.

The determination of the allowance for loan and lease losses (“ALLL” or “allowance”) and the related provision for loan losses is a critical accounting estimate that involves management’s judgments about current environmental factors which affect loan losses, such factors including economic conditions, changes in collateral values, net charge-offs, and other factors discussed below in “Additional Management’s Discussion and Analysis.”

Net Interest Income

Net interest income for the first nine months of the current year increased $1.3 million, or 1 percent, over the same period last year. Interest income for the first nine months of the current year decreased $4.5 million, or 2 percent, from the prior year first nine months and was principally due to the increase in premium amortization on investment securities earlier this year and the reduction of yields on the loan portfolio. Interest income was reduced by $55.0 million in premium amortization on investment securities during the first nine months of the current year which was an increase of $6.3 million from the first nine months of the prior year. Such decrease in interest income were partially offset by an increased volume in commercial loans and investment securities.

Interest expense for the first nine months of the current year decreased $5.7 million, or 21 percent, from the prior year first nine months and was primarily attributable to the decreases in interest rates on interest bearing deposits and borrowings. The funding cost (including non-interest bearing deposits) for the first nine months of 2013 was 43 basis points compared to 57 basis points for the first nine months of 2012.

The net interest margin, on a tax-equivalent basis, for the first nine months of 2013 was 3.34 percent, a 14 basis points reduction from the net interest margin of 3.48 percent for the first nine months of 2012. The reduction was a result of lower yields on loans and higher premium amortization on investment securities, both of which outpaced the reduction in funding cost. The premium amortization for the first nine months of 2013 accounted for a 103 basis points reduction in the net interest margin, which was an increase of 8 basis points compared to the 95 basis points reduction in the net interest margin for the same period last year.

Non-interest Income

Non-interest income of $70.0 million for the first nine months of 2013 increased $3.9 million, or 6 percent, over the same period last year. Gains of $23.6 million on the sale of loans for the first nine months of 2013 increased $519 thousand, or 2 percent, from the first nine months of 2012. Other income for the first nine months of 2013 increased $818 thousand, or 13 percent, over the first nine months of 2012. Included in other income was operating revenue of $247 thousand from OREO and gains of $1.6 million on the sale of OREO, which totaled $1.9 million for the first nine months of 2013 compared to $1.5 million for the same period in the prior year.

Non-interest Expense Summary

Compensation and employee benefits for the first nine months of 2013 increased $5.7 million, or 8 percent, from the same period last year. OREO expense of $4.9 million in the first nine months of 2013 decreased $10.5 million, or 68 percent, from the first nine months of the prior year. Outsourced data processing expense increased $435 thousand, or 18 percent, from the prior year first nine months as a result of the acquired banks outsourced data processing expense. The OREO expense for the first nine months of 2013 included $2.0 million of operating expenses, $2.4 million of fair value write-downs, and $538 thousand of loss on sale of OREO. Other expense for the first nine months of 2013 increased by $1.7 million, or 6 percent, from the first nine months of the prior year and was principally attributable to the legal and professional expenses associated with the acquisitions.

Efficiency Ratio

The efficiency ratio was 55 percent for the first nine months of 2013 and 53 percent for the first nine months of 2012. Although there was an increase in non-interest income and net interest income during the first nine months of the current year over the prior year, it was not enough to offset the increase in non-interest expense, excluding OREO expense, resulting in the increased efficiency ratio.

Provision for loan losses

The provision for loan losses was $5.1 million for the first nine months of 2013, a decrease of $14.2 million, or 74 percent, from the same period in the prior year. Net charged-off loans during the first nine months of 2013 was $5.2 million, a decrease of $14.9 million from the first nine months of 2012.

ADDITIONAL MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Lendin g Activity and Practices

The Company focuses its lending activities primarily on the following types of loans: 1) first-mortgage, conventional loans secured by residential properties, particularly single-family, 2) commercial lending that concentrates on targeted businesses, and 3) installment lending for consumer purposes (e.g., auto, home equity, etc.). Supplemental information regarding the Company’s loan portfolio and credit quality based on regulatory classification is provided in the section captioned “Loans by Regulatory Classification” inclu ded in “Part I. Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” The regulatory classification of loans is based primarily on the type of collateral for the loans. Loan information included in “Part I. Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” is based on the Company’s loan segments and classes which is based on the purpose of the loan, unless otherwise noted as a regulatory classification.

²	Amounts represent estimated interest income that would have been recognized on loans accounted for on a non-accrual basis as of the end of each period had such loans performed pursuant to contractual terms.

During the first nine months of 2013, the Company continued to diligently and methodically reduce non-performing assets. Non-performing assets at September 30, 2013 were $125 million, a decrease of $5.5 million, or 4 percent, during the current quarter and a decrease of $51.8 million, or 29 percent, from a year ago. The largest category of non-performing assets was the land, lot and other construction category which was $55.3 million, or 44 percent, of the non-performing assets at September 30, 2013. Included in this category was $25.8 million of land development loans and $15.0 million in unimproved land loans at September 30, 2013. The Company has continued to reduce the land, lot and other construction category over the prior two years. The Company’s early stage delinquencies (accruing loans 30-89 days past due) of 26.4 million at September 30, 2013 increased $4.3 million, or 20 percent, from the prior quarter and decreased $2.0 million, or 7 percent, from the prior year third quarter early stage delinquencies.

Most of the Company’s non-performing assets are secured by real estate, and based on the most current information available to management, including updated appraisals or evaluations (new or updated), the Company believes the value of the underlying real estate collateral is adequate to minimize significant charge-offs or loss to the Company. The Company evaluates the level of its non-performing assets, the values of the underlying real estate and other collateral, and related trends in net charge-offs in determining the adequacy of the ALLL. Through pro-active credit administration, the Company works closely with its borrowers to seek favorable resolution to the extent possible, thereby attempting to minimize net charge-offs or losses to the Company. Throughout the past year, the Company has maintained an adequate allowance while working to reduce non-performing assets. The improvement in the credit quality ratios over the past year is a product of this effort.

For non-performing construction loans involving residential structures, the percentage of c ompletion exceeds 95 percent at September 30, 2013 . For non-performing construction loans involving commercial structures, the percentage of completion ranges from projects not started to projects completed at September 30, 2013 . During the construction loan term, all construction loan collateral properties are inspected at least monthly, or more frequently as needed, until completion. Draw s on construction loans are predicated upon the results of the inspection and advanced based upon a percentage of completion basis versus original budget percentages. When construction loans become non-performing and the associated project is not complete, the Company on a case-by-case basis makes the decision to advance additional funds or to initiate collection/foreclosure proceedings. Such decision includes obtaining “as-is” and “at completion” appraisals for consideration of potential increases or decreases in the collateral’s value. The Company also considers the increased costs of monitoring progress to completion, and the related collection/holding period costs should collateral ownership be transferred to the Company. With very limited exception, the Company does not disburse additional funds on non-performing loans. Instead, the Company has proceeded to collection and foreclosure actions in order to reduce the Company’s exposure to loss on such loans.

Construction loans, a regulatory classification, accounted for 39 percent of the Company’s non-accrual loans as of September 30, 2013 . Land, lot and other construction loans, a regulatory classification, were 95 percent of the non-accrual construction loans. Of the Company’s $34.2 million of non-accrual construction loans at September 30, 2013 , 95 percent of such loans had collateral properties securing the loans in Western Montana and Idaho. With locations and operations in the contiguous northern Rocky Mountain states of Idaho and Montana, the geography and economies of each of these geographic areas are predominantly tied to real estate development gi ven the sprawling abundance of timbered valleys and mountainous terrain with significant lakes, streams and watershed areas. Consistent with the general economic downturn, the market for upscale primary, secondary and other housing as well as the associated construction and building industries have stalled after years of significant growth. As the housing market (rental and owner-occupied) and related industries continue to recover from the downturn, the Company continues to reduce its exposure to loss in the land, lot and other construction loan portfolio.

For additional information on accounting policies relating to non-performing assets and impaired loans, see Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in “Part I. Item 1. Financial Statements.”

Impaired Loans

Loans are designated impaired when, based upon current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement and therefore, the Company has serious doubts as to the ability of such borrowers to fulfill the contractual obligation. Impaired loans include non-performing loans (i.e., non-accrual loans and accruing loans ninety days or more past due) and accruing loans under ninety days past due where it is probable payments will not be received according to the loan agreement (e.g., troubled debt restructuring).

Impaired loans were $207 million and $202 million as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 , respectively. The ALLL includes specific valuation allowances of $12.7 million and $15.5 million of impaired loans as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 , respectively. Of the total impaired loans at September 30, 2013 , there were 28 significant commercial real estate and other commercial loans that accounted for $82.1 million , or 40 percent , of the impaired loans. The 28 loans were collateralized by 125 percent of the loan value, the majority of which had appraisals or evaluations (new or updated) during the last year, such appraisals reviewed at least quarterly taking into account current market conditions. Of the total impaired loans at September 30, 2013 , there were 163 loans aggregating $100 million , or 48 percent , whereby the borrowers had more than one impaired loan. The amount of impaired loans that have had partial charge-offs during the year for which the Company continues to have concern about the collectability of the remaining loan balance was $3.4 million . Of these loans, there were charge-offs of $1.7 million during 2013 .

Restructured Loans

A restructured loan is considered a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) if the creditor, for economic or legal reasons related to the debtor’s financial difficulties, grants a concession to the debtor that it would not otherwise consider. The Company had TDR loans of $128 million and $151 million as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 , respectively. The Company’s TDR loans are considered impaired loans of which $40.9 million and $50.9 million as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 , respectively, are designated as non-accrual.

Each restructured debt is separately negotiated with the borrower and includes terms and conditions that reflect the borrower’s prospective ability to service the debt as modified. The Company discourages the use of the multiple loan strategy when restructuring loans regardless of whether or not the notes are TDR loans. The Company does not have any commercial TDR loans as of September 30, 2013 that have repayment dates extended at or near the original maturity date for which the Company has not classified as impaired. At September 30, 2013 , the Company has TDR loans of $25.6 million that are in non-accrual status or that have had partial charge-offs during the year, the borrowers of which continue to have $44.7 million in other loans that are on accrual status.

Other Real Estate Owned

The loan book value prior to the acquisition and transfer of the loan into OREO during 2013 was $14.7 million of which $4.2 million was residential real estate, $8.5 million was commercial, and $2.0 million was consumer loans. The fair value of the loan collateral acquired in foreclosure during 2013 was $13.1 million of which $3.6 million was residential real estate, $7.5 million was commercial, and $2.0 million was consumer loans. The following table sets forth the changes in OREO for the periods indicated:

Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses

Determining the adequacy of the ALLL involves a high degree of judgment and is inevitably imprecise as the risk of loss is difficult to quantify. The ALLL methodology is designed to reasonably estimate the probable loan and lease losses within the Company’s loan portfolio. Accordingly, the ALLL is maintained within a range of estimated losses. The determination of the ALLL, including the provision for loan losses and net charge-offs, is a critical accounting estimate that involves management’s judgments about all known relevant internal and external environmental factors that affect loan losses, including the credit risk inherent in the loan portfolio, economic conditions nationally and in the local markets in which the Company operates, changes in collateral values, delinquencies, non-performing assets and net charge-offs.

Although the Company continues to actively monitor economic trends, soft economic conditions combined with potential declines in the values of real estate that collateralize most of the Company’s loan portfolio may adversely affect the credit risk and potential for loss to the Company.

The ALLL evaluation is well documented and approved by the Company’s Board of Directors. In addition, the policy and procedures for determining the balance of the ALLL are reviewed annually by the Company’s Board of Directors, the internal audit department, independent credit reviewers and state and federal bank regulatory agencies.

At the end of each quarter, the Company analyzes its loan portfolio and maintains an ALLL at a level that is appropriate and determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The allowance consists of a specific valuation allowance component and a general valuation allowance component. The specific valuation allowance component relates to loans that are determined to be impaired. A specific valuation allowance is established when the fair value of a collateral-dependent loan or the present value of the loan’s expected future cash flows (discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate) is lower than the carrying value of the impaired loan. The general valuation allowance component relates to probable credit losses inherent in the balance of the loan portfolio based on prior loss experience, adjusted for changes in trends and conditions of qualitative or environmental factors.

The Bank divisions’ credit administration reviews their respective loan portfolios to determine which loans are impaired and estimates the specific valuation allowance. The impaired loans and related specific valuation allowance are then provided to the Company’s credit administration for further review and approval. The Company’s credit administration also determines the estimated general valuation and reviews and approves the overall ALLL for the Company. The credit administration of the Company exercises significant judgment when evaluating the effect of applicable qualitative or environmental factors on the Company’s historical loss experience for loans not identified as impaired. Quantification of the impact upon the Company’s ALLL is inherently subjective as data for any factor may not be directly applicable, consistently relevant, or reasonably available for management to determine the precise impact of a factor on the collectability of the Company’s unimpaired loan portfolio as of each evaluation date. The Company’s credit administration documents its conclusions and rationale for changes that occur in each applicable factor’s weight (i.e., measurement) and ensures that such changes are directionally consistent based on the underlying current trends and conditions for the factor. To have directional consistency, the provision for loan losses and credit quality should generally move in the same direction.

The Company’s model of thirteen bank divisions with separate management teams provides substantial local oversight to the lending and credit management function. The Company’s business model affords multiple reviews of larger loans before credit is extended, a significant benefit in mitigating and managing the Company’s credit risk. The geographic dispersion of the market areas in which the Company operates further mitigates the risk of credit loss. While this process is intended to limit credit exposure, there can be no assurance that further problem credits will not arise and additional loan losses incurred, particularly in periods of rapid economic downturns.

The primary responsibility for credit risk assessment and identification of problem loans rests with the loan officer of the account. This continuous process of identifying impaired loans is necessary to support management’s evaluation of the ALLL adequacy. An independent loan review function verifying credit risk ratings evaluates the loan officer and management’s evaluation of the loan portfolio credit quality. The loan review function also assesses the evaluation process and provides an independent analysis of the adequacy of the ALLL.

No assurance can be given that the Company will not, in any particular period, sustain losses that are significant relative to the ALLL amount, or that subsequent evaluations of the loan portfolio applying management’s judgment about then current factors, including economic and regulatory developments, will not require significant changes in the ALLL. Under such circumstances, this could result in enhanced provisions for loan losses.

The following table summarizes the allocation of the ALLL as of the dates indicated:

Net charge-offs as a percentage of total loans	0.13		%	0.83	%	0.59	%

At September 30, 2013, the allowance was $131 million, a decrease of $89 thousand, or less than 1 percent, from December 31, 2012 and a decrease of $5.9 million, or 4 percent, from a year ago. The allowance was 3.27 percent of total loans outstanding at September 30, 2013, a decrease of 58 basis points from 3.85 percent at December 31, 2012. Excluding the acquired banks, the allowance was 3.60 percent of total loans outstanding at September 30, 2013, a 33 basis points increase from the 3.27 allowance percentage at September 30, 2013. Such difference was primarily attributable to no allowance carried over from the acquisitions as result of the acquired loans being recorded at fair value. The allowance was 148 percent of non-performing loans at September 30, 2013, an increase from 133 percent at December 31, 2012 and an increase from 115 percent at September 30, 2012.

The Company’s allowance of $131 million is considered adequate to absorb losses from any class of its loan portfolio. For the periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 , the Company believes the allowance is commensurate with the risk in the Company’s loan portfolio and is directionally consistent with the change in the quality of the Company’s loan portfolio.

When applied to the Company’s historical loss experience, the qualitative or environmental factors result in the provision for loan losses being recorded in the period in which the loss has probably occurred. When the loss is confirmed at a later date, a charge-off is recorded. During 2013 , loan charge-offs, net of recoveries, exceeded the provision for loan losses by $89 thousand . During the same period in 2012 , loan charge-offs, net of recoveries, exceeded the provision for loan losses by $856 thousand .

The Company provides commercial services to individuals, small to medium size businesses, community organizations and public entities from 119 locations, including 111 branches, across Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, and Washington. The Rocky Mountain states in which the Company operates has diverse economies and markets that are tied to commodities (crops, livestock, minerals, oil and natural gas), tourism, real estate and land development and an assortment of industries, both manufacturing and service-related. Thus, the changes in the global, national, and local economies are not uniform across the Company’s geographic locations.

Although there continues to be heightened uncertainty in the economic environment, there was notable improvements during the last year compared to the past several years. There was steady growth in the housing permits, housing starts, and completions for new privately owned units during the last year in Montana, Idaho, Colorado and Utah in relation to the US national statistics. There was improvement in single family residential real estate construction and sales for all of the Company’s market areas. Single family residential collateral values in Idaho, Wyoming and Montana stabilized (with some improvement in isolated markets in which the Company operates) compared to the prior year and prior 5 year historical trends. In the states in which the Company operates, foreclosures have been on a steady decline the past several years and the state unemployment rates were lower than the national unemployment rate at September 2013. The national unemployment rate increased steadily from 5.0 in the first part of 2008 to a range of 7.8 to 10.0 during 2009 through 2012 and has declined to 7.2 in September of 2013. Agricultural price declines in livestock and grain in 2009 have recovered significantly and remain strong. While prices for oil have held strong, prices for natural gas continue to remain weak (due to excess supply) especially when compared to the exceptionally high price levels of natural gas during 2008. The tourism industry and related lodging continues to be a source of strength for the locations where the Company’s market areas have national parks and similar recreational areas in the market areas served.

In evaluating the need for a specific or general valuation allowance for impaired and unimpaired loans, respectively, within the Company’s construction loan portfolio (i.e., regulatory classification), including residential construction and land, lot and other construction loans, the credit risk related to such loans was considered in the ongoing monitoring of such loans, including assessments based on current information, including appraisals or evaluations (new or updated) of the underlying collateral, expected cash flows and the timing thereof, as well as the estimated cost to sell when such costs are expected to reduce the cash flows available to repay or otherwise satisfy the construction loan. Construction loans are 11 percent of the Company’s total loan portfolio and account for 39 percent of the Company’s non-accrual loans at September 30, 2013 . Collateral securing construction loans includes residential buildings (e.g., single/multi-family and condominiums), commercial buildings, and associated land (multi-acre parcels and individual lots, with and without shorelines).

The Company’s allowance consisted of the following components as of the dates indicated:



(Dollars in thousands)	September 30, 2013		December 31, 2012	September 30, 2012
Specific valuation allowance	$	12,728	15,534	18,562
General valuation allowance	118,037		115,320	118,098
Total ALLL	$	130,765	130,854	136,660

During 2013 , the ALLL decreased by $89 thousand , the net result of a $2.8 million decrease in the specific valuation allowance and a $2.7 million increase in the general valuation allowance. Although there was an increase in the loan portfolio since the prior year end, the ALLL remained stable primarily as a result of the acquired loan portfolios recorded at fair value with no allowance carried over. Further supporting the stable ALLL were the following trends:

•

Non-accrual construction loans (i.e., residential construction and land, lot and other construction, each a regulatory classification) were $34.2 million, or 39 percent, of the $88.3 million of non-accrual loans at September 30, 2013 , a decrease of $4.9 million from the prior year end and decrease of $18.7 million from September 30, 2012 . Non-accrual construction loans accounted for 40 percent of the $96.9 million of non-accrual loans at year end 2012 and 46 percent of the $116 million of non-accrual loans at September 30, 2012 .


•	Non-performing loans as a percent of total loans decreased to 2.21 percent at September 30, 2013 as compared to 2.90 percent and 3.50 percent at year end 2012 and September 30, 2012 , respectively.


•	Impaired loans as a percent of total loans decreased to 5.17 percent at September 30, 2013 as compared to 5.94 percent and 6.64 percent at year end 2012 and September 30, 2012 , respectively.


•	Charge-offs, net of recoveries, in 2013 were $5.2 million, a $14.9 million decrease from the same period in 2012 .


•	Excluding acquisitions, the loan portfolio increased $216 million from the prior year end.

Loans by Regulatory Classification

Supplemental information regarding identification of the Company’s loan portfolio and credit quality based on regulatory classification is provided in the following tables. The regulatory classification of loans is based primarily on the type of collateral for the loans. There may be differences when compared to loan tables and loan amounts appearing elsewhere which reflect the Company’s internal loan segments and classes which are based on the purpose of the loan.

The following table summarizes the Company’s loan portfolio by regulatory classification:

Investment Activity

The Company’s investment securities are generally classified as available-for-sale and are carried at estimated fair value with unrealized gains or losses, net of tax, reflected as an adjustment to stockholders’ equity. Investment securities designated as available-for-sale are summarized below:

The Company’s investment portfolio is primarily comprised of residential mortgage-backed securities and state and local government securities which are largely exempt from federal income tax. The Company uses the maximum federal statutory rate of 35 percent in calculating its tax-equivalent yield. The residential mortgage-backed securities are typically short weighted-average life U.S. agency collateralized mortgage obligations and provide the Company with on-going liquidity as scheduled and pre-paid principal payments are made on the securities. It has generally been the Company’s policy to maintain a liquid portfolio above policy limits.

Other-Than-Temporary Impairment on Securities Analysis

Non-marketable equity securities owned at September 30, 2013 primarily consisted of capital stock issued by the FHLB of Seattle. Non-marketable equity securities are evaluated for impairment whenever events or circumstances suggest the carrying value may not be recoverable.

The Company’s investment in FHLB stock has limited marketability and is carried at cost, which approximates fair value. The value of long-term investments such as FHLB stock is based on the “ultimate recoverability” of the par value of the security without regard to temporary declines in value. The determination of whether a decline affects the ultimate recovery is influenced by criteria such as 1) FHLB deficiency, if any, in meeting applicable regulatory capital targets, including risk-based capital requirements, 2) the significance of any decline in net assets of the FHLB as compared to the capital stock amount for the FHLB and the time period for any such decline, 3) commitments by the FHLB to make payments required by law or regulation and the level of such payments in relation to the operating performance of the FHLB, 4) the impact of legislative and regulatory changes on the FHLB, and 5) the liquidity position of the FHLB. In September 2012, the Federal Housing Finance Agency (“FHFA”) upgraded the FHLB’s regulatory capital classification to “adequately capitalized” and granted the FHLB authority to repurchase up to $25 million of excess stock per quarter at par, provided the FHLB receives a non-objection from the FHFA for each quarter’s repurchase. In July 2013, the FHLB of Seattle declared a $0.025 per share cash dividend which was the first dividend in a number of years.

Based on the Company’s evaluation of its investments in non-marketable equity securities as of September 30, 2013, the Company determined that none of such securities had other-than-temporary impairment.

In evaluating debt securities for other-than-temporary impairment losses, management assesses whether the Company intends to sell the security or if it is more-likely-than-not that the Company will be required to sell the debt security. In so doing, management considers contractual constraints, liquidity, capital, asset / liability management and securities portfolio objectives.

For debt securities with limited or inactive markets, the impact of macroeconomic conditions in the U.S. upon fair value estimates includes higher risk-adjusted discount rates and changes in credit ratings provided by nationally recognized credit rating agencies, (e.g., Moody's, Standard and Poor's, and Fitch). In connection with changing macroeconomic conditions affecting the U.S. economy, on June 10, 2013, Standard and Poor's reaffirmed its AA+ rating of U.S. government long-term debt but with an improved outlook of stable from negative. On July 18, 2013, Moody's also upgraded its outlook to stable from negative while maintaining its Aaa rating on U.S. government long-term debt. However, on October 15, 2013 Fitch placed its AAA long-term debt rating of the U.S. on rating watch negative due to the U.S. government’s inability to raise the federal debt ceiling in a timely manner. Standard and Poor's, Moody's and Fitch have similar credit ratings and outlooks with respect to certain long-term debt instruments issued by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and other U.S. government agencies linked to the long-term U.S. debt.

The following table separates investments with an unrealized loss position at September 30, 2013 into two categories: investments purchased prior to 2013 and those purchased during 2013. Of those investments purchased prior to 2013, the fair market value and unrealized gain or loss at December 31, 2012 is also presented.

Total	479	$	(33,721	)

With respect to the duration of the impaired debt securities, the Company identified 35 securities which have been continuously impaired for the twelve months ending September 30, 2013. The valuation history of such securities in the prior year(s) was also reviewed to determine the number of months in prior year(s) in which the identified securities was in an unrealized loss position.

All 35 securities that had been continuously impaired for the twelve months ended September 30, 2013 were in the state and local governments category and had an aggregate loss of $1.7 million at quarter-end. The most notable unrealized loss in this category was $254 thousand.

Based on the Company's analysis of its impaired debt securities as of September 30, 2013, the Company determined that none of such securities had other-than-temporary impairment.

Sources of Funds

The Company’s deposits have traditionally been the principal source of funds for use in lending and other business purposes. The Company has 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 non-interest bearing demand accounts, interest bearing checking, regular statement savings, money market deposit accounts, and fixed rate certificates of deposit with maturities ranging from three months to five years, negotiated-rate jumbo certificates, and individual retirement accounts. In addition, the Company obtains wholesale deposits through various programs and are classified as NOW accounts, money market deposit accounts and certificate accounts.

The Company also obtains funds from repayment of loans and investment securities, repurchase agreements, advances from the FHLB, other borrowings, and sale of loans and investment securities. 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 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. Borrowings also may be used on a long-term basis to support expanded activities and to match maturities of longer-term assets.

Short-term borrowings

A critical component of the Company’s liquidity and capital resources is access to short-term borrowings to fund its operations. Short-term borrowings are accompanied by increased risks managed by the Asset Liability Committee (“ALCO”) such as rate increases or unfavorable change in terms which would make it more costly to obtain future short-term borrowings. The Company’s short-term borrowing sources include FHLB advances, federal funds purchased and retail and wholesale repurchase agreements. The Company also has access to the short-term discount window borrowing programs (i.e., primary credit) of the Federal Reserve Bank. FHLB advances and certain other short-term borrowings may be extended as long-term borrowings to decrease certain risks such as liquidity or interest rate risk; however, the reduction in risks are weighed against the increased cost of funds.

The following table provides information relating to short-term borrowings which consists of borrowings that mature within one year at period end:



	At or for the Nine Months ended			At or for the Year ended

Average balance	$	737,930		719,762
Weighted average interest rate	0.25		%	0.50	%

Contractual Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company has outstanding debt obligations, the largest aggregate amount of which were FHLB advances. In the normal course of business, there may be various outstanding commitments to obtain funding, such as brokered deposits, and to extend credit, such as letters of credit and un-advanced loan commitments, which are not reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company does not anticipate any material losses as a result of these transactions.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the possibility that the Company will not be able to fund present and future obligations as they come due because of an inability to liquidate assets or obtain adequate funding at a reasonable cost. 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. Effective liquidity management entails three elements:


1.	Assessing on an ongoing basis, the current and expected future needs for funds, and ensuring that sufficient funds or access to funds exist to meet those needs at the appropriate time.


2.	Providing for an adequate cushion of liquidity to meet unanticipated cash flow needs that may arise from potential adverse circumstances ranging from high probability/low severity events to low probability/high severity.


3.	Balancing the benefits between providing for adequate liquidity to mitigate potential adverse events and the cost of that liquidity.

The following table identifies certain liquidity sources and capacity available to the Company at September 30, 2013 :



(Dollars in thousands)	September 30, 2013

The Company has a wide range of versatility in managing the liquidity and asset/liability mix. The Company’s ALCO committee meets regularly to assess liquidity risk, among other matters. The Company monitors liquidity and contingency funding alternatives through management reports of liquid assets (e.g., investment securities), both unencumbered and pledged, as well as borrowing capacity, both secured and unsecured.

Capital Resources

Maintaining capital strength continues to be a long-term objective. Abundant capital is necessary to sustain growth, provide protection against unanticipated declines in asset values, and to safeguard the funds of depositors. Capital is also a source of funds for loan demand and enables the Company to effectively manage its assets and liabilities. Taking these considerations into account, the Company may, as it has done in the past, decide to utilize a portion of its strong capital position to repurchase shares of its outstanding common stock, from time to time, depending on market price and other relevant considerations.

The Federal Reserve Board has adopted capital adequacy guidelines that are used to assess the adequacy of capital in supervising a bank holding company. The Company and the Bank were considered well capitalized by their respective regulators as of September 30, 2013 and 2012 . There are no conditions or events after September 30, 2013 that management believes have changed the Company’s or the Bank’s risk-based capital category.

The following table illustrates the Federal Reserve Board’s capital adequacy guidelines and the Company’s compliance with those guidelines as of September 30, 2013 .

In addition to the primary and contingent liquidity sources available, the Company has the capacity to issue 117,187,500 shares of common stock of which 74,307,951 has been issued as of September 30, 2013 . The Company also has the capacity to issue 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock of which none has been issued as of September 30, 2013 .

Federal and State Income Taxes

The Company files a consolidated federal income tax return, using the accrual method of accounting. All required tax returns have been timely filed. Financial institutions are subject to the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, in the same general manner as other corporations.

Under Montana, Idaho, Colorado and Utah law, financial institutions are subject to a corporation income tax, which incorporates or is substantially similar to applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. The corporation income tax is imposed on federal taxable income, subject to certain adjustments. State taxes are incurred at the rate of 6.75 percent in Montana, 7.6 percent in Idaho, 5 percent in Utah and 4.63 percent in Colorado. Wyoming and Washington do not impose a corporate-level income tax.

The Company has equity investments in Certified Development Entities which have received allocations of New Markets Tax Credits (“NMTC”). Administered by the Community Development Financial Institutions Fund of the U.S. Department of the Treasury, the NMTC program is aimed at stimulating economic and community development and job creation in low-income communities. The federal income tax credits received are claimed over a seven-year credit allowance period. The Company also has equity investments in Low-Income Housing Tax Credits which are indirect federal subsidies used to finance the development of affordable rental housing for low-income households. The federal income tax credits are claimed over a ten-year credit allowance period. The Company has investments in Qualified Zone Academy and Qualified School Construction bonds whereby the Company receives quarterly federal income tax credits in lieu of taxable interest income until the bonds mature. The federal income tax credits on these bonds are subject to federal and state income tax.

Following is a list of expected federal income tax credits to be received in the years indicated.

Income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was $21.4 million and $13.2 million , respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was 23.6 percent and 19.5 percent , respecti vely. The primary reason for the low effective rates are the amount of tax-exempt investment income and federal tax credits. The tax-exempt income was $31.4 million and $28.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 , respectively. The federal tax credit benefits were $3.0 million and $3.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 , respectively. The Company continues to hold its investments in select municipal securities and variable interest entities whereby the Company receives federal tax credits.

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.



	Nine Months ended September 30,

Total interest expense	164			(5,884	)	(5,720	)
Net interest income (tax-equivalent)	$	11,148		(8,439	)	2,709

Net interest income (tax-equivalent) increased $2.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012 . The decrease in interest income was driven by reduced interest rates on investment securities and reduced interest rates on the loan portfolio which outpaced the increased volume of commercial loans and increased volume of investment securities. The Company was able to lower interest expense by reducing deposit and borrowing interest rates, which more than offset the reduction in interest income.

Effect of inflation and changing prices

GAAP often requires the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars, without consideration for change in relative purchasing power over time due to inflation. Virtually all assets of the Company are monetary in nature; therefore, interest rates generally have a more significant impact on a company’s performance than does the effect of inflation.


Item 3.	Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk

The Company believes there have not been any material changes in information about the Company’s market risk than was provided in the 2012 Annual Report.


Item 4.	Controls and Procedures

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION


Item 1.	Legal Proceedings

The Company is involved in various claims, legal actions and complaints which arise in the ordinary course of business. In the Company’s opinion, all such matters are adequately covered by insurance, are without merit or are of such kind, or involve such amounts, that unfavorable disposition would not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition or results of operations of the Company.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

The Company believes there have been no material changes from risk factors previously disclosed in the 2012 Annual Report. The risks and uncertainties described in the 2012 Annual Report should be carefully reviewed. These are not the only risks and uncertainties that the Company faces. Additional risks and uncertainties that the Company does not currently know about or that the Company currently believes are immaterial, or that the Company has not predicted, may also harm its business operations or adversely affect the Company. If any of these risks or uncertainties actually occurs, the Company’s business, financial condition, operating results or liquidity could be adversely affected.
