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. The following schedule contains the data used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share: 8 Three Three Nine Nine months ended months ended months ended months ended Sept 30, 2006 Sept 30, 2005 Sept 30, 2006 Sept 30, 2005 ------------- ------------- ------------- ------------- Net earnings available to common stockholders ......................... $15,806,000 13,575,000 44,101,000 38,185,000 Average outstanding shares - basic ...... 33,135,225 31,304,413 32,586,646 31,100,946 Add: Dilutive stock options ............. 466,984 655,831 498,225 572,760 ----------- ---------- ---------- ---------- Average outstanding shares - diluted .... 33,602,209 31,960,244 33,084,871 31,673,706 =========== ========== ========== ========== Basic earnings per share ................ $ 0.48 0.43 1.35 1.23 =========== ========== ========== ========== Diluted earnings per share .............. $ 0.47 0.42 1.33 1.21 =========== ========== ========== ========== There were approximately 538,433 and 197,209 average shares excluded from the nine months ended diluted share calculation as of September 30, 2006, and 2005, respectively, due to the option exercise price exceeding the market price. 6) Stock Based Compensation The Company has three stock based compensation plans outstanding. The Directors 1994 Stock Option Plan was approved to provide for the grant of options to outside Directors of the Company. The Employees 1995 Stock Option Plan was approved to provide the grant of options to certain full-time employees of the Company. The Employees 1995 Stock Option Plan expired in April 2005 and has granted but unexpired options outstanding. The 2005 Stock Incentive Plan was approved by shareholders on April 27, 2005 which provides awards to certain full-time employees of the Company. The 2005 Stock Incentive Plan permits the granting of options, share appreciation rights, restricted shares, restricted share units, and unrestricted shares, deferred share units, and performance awards. Upon exercise of the stock options the shares are obtained from the authorized and unissued stock. The Company adopted SFAS No. 123 (Revised) Share-Based Payment, as of January 1, 2006 and, accordingly, has determined compensation cost based on the fair value of the option at the grant date. The Company adopted the modified prospective transition method in reporting financial statement results in the current and for future reporting periods. Under the modified prospective method, SFAS No. 123 (Revised) applies to new awards and to awards modified, repurchased, or cancelled after the effective date; accordingly the prior interim and annual periods do not reflect restated amounts. Additionally, the compensation cost for the portion of awards outstanding for which the requisite service has not been rendered that are outstanding as of the required effective date are recognized as the requisite service is rendered on or after the required effective date. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, the compensation cost for the stock option plans was $2,410,000, with a corresponding income tax benefit of $707,000, resulting in a net earnings and cash flow from operations reduction of $1,703,000, or a decrease of $.05 per share for both basic and diluted earnings per share. For the three months ended September 30, 2006, the compensation cost for the stock option plans was $726,000, with a corresponding income tax benefit of $207,000, resulting in a net earnings and cash flow from operations reduction of $519,000, or a decrease of $.02 per share for both basic and diluted earnings per share. Additionally, in the cash flow statement, the excess tax benefit from stock options decreased the net cash provided from operating activities and increased the net cash provided by financing activities by $990,000 and $319,000 for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2006, 9 respectively. Total unrecognized compensation cost, net of income tax benefit, related to non-vested awards which are expected to be recognized over the next weighted period of 1 year was $1,570,000 as of September 30, 2006. The total fair value of shares vested during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 was $1,245,000 and $920,000, respectively. The total fair value of shares vested during the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 was $709,000 and $368,000, respectively. Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123 (Revised), the Company utilized the intrinsic value method and compensation cost was the excess of the market price of the stock at the grant date over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock. The exercise price of all stock options granted has been equal to the fair market value of the underlying stock at the date of grant and, accordingly, the intrinsic value has been $0 and no compensation cost was recognized prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123 (Revised). The Company did not modify any outstanding options prior to the adoption of the standard. If the Company had determined compensation cost based on fair value of the options at the grant date under SFAS 123 (Revised) prior to the date of adoption, the Company's net income would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated below: September 30, 2005 September 30, 2005 Three months ended Nine months ended ------------------ ------------------ Net earnings (in thousands): As reported $13,575 38,185 Compensation cost (207) (622) ------- ------ Pro forma 13,368 37,563 ======= ====== Basic earnings per share: As reported 0.43 1.23 Compensation cost -- (0.02) ------- ------ Pro forma 0.43 1.21 ======= ====== Diluted earnings per share: As reported 0.42 1.21 Compensation cost -- (0.02) ------- ------ Pro forma 0.42 1.19 ======= ====== The per share weighted-average fair value of stock options granted during 2006 and 2005 was $6.47 and $3.52, respectively, on the date of grant using the Black Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions: 2006 -- expected dividend yield 2.23%, risk-free interest rate of 4.35%, volatility ratio of 27%, and expected life of 3.3 years: 2005 - expected dividend yield 2.23%, risk-free interest rate of 3.44%, volatility ratio of 18%, and expected life of 3.4 years. Expected volatilities are based on historical volatility and other factors. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise and termination with the valuation model. Employee and director awards, which have dissimilar historical exercise behavior, are considered separately for valuation purposes. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield in effect at the time of the grant. The option awards generally vest upon six month or two years of service for directors and employees, respectively, and generally expire in five years. 10 Change in shares granted for stock options for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and the year ended December 31, 2005, are summarized as follows: Options outstanding Options exercisable -------------------------- ------------------------- Weighted Weighted average average Shares exercise price Shares exercise price --------- -------------- -------- -------------- Balance, December 31, 2004 ... 1,510,631 14.65 703,015 11.61 Canceled .....................

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.

The bank is a national banking association with its main office in Morgan, Utah and one branch office in Mountain Green, Utah. First National Bank of Morgan became the Company's tenth subsidiary bank and the first whole-bank acquisition in Utah, expanding Glacier's focused community bank strategy in Utah and complementing its two existing Utah branches. A portion of the purchase price was allocated to core deposit intangible of $896,000 and goodwill of $10,715,000. On October 1, 2006, the acquisition of Citizens Development Company was completed. Citizens Development Company is a Billings, Montana-based bank holding company that owns five community banks located throughout Montana, with principal banking offices in Billings, Lewistown, Hamilton, Columbia Falls and Chinook. At September 30, 2006, Citizens had total assets of $411 million, net loans of $308 million, total deposits of $361 million, and stockholders' equity of $37 million. A portion of the purchase price will be allocated to core deposit intangible and goodwill. As a condition to closing imposed by the bank regulators, the Company has entered into a definitive agreement with the Bank of the Rockies to divest of the Lewistown branch of its subsidiary, Western Security Bank. The Lewistown branch has approximately $19 million in loans and $26 million in deposits. Acquisitions are accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities of the acquired banks are recorded by the Company at their respective fair values at the date of the acquisition and the results of operations are included with those of the Company since the date of acquisition. The excess of the Company's purchase price over the net fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including identifiable intangible assets, is recorded as goodwill. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards The Company adopted SFAS No. 123 (Revised) Share-Based Payment, as of January 1, 2006 and, accordingly, has determined compensation cost based on the fair value of the option at the grant date. Net earnings was reduced as a result of the adoption of SFAS 123(R) Share-based Payment beginning January 1, 2006, which requires recording the estimated fair value of stock options as compensation expense. For additional information regarding the standard see Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The following table illustrates the affect of the adoption of SFAS 123(R) if it would not have been adopted in 2006.

Without the acquisition of Morgan total assets increased $331 million, or 9 percent, from year end 2005. Of the $537 million increase in total assets since September 30, 2005, $296 million, or 8 percent, was from internal growth. Total loans have increased $422 million from December 31, 2005, or 17 percent, with the growth occurring in all loan categories. The Morgan acquisition accounted for $42 million, or 2 percent of the increase. Including loans acquired, commercial loans have increased $203 million, or 15 percent, real estate loans gained $150 million, or 25 percent, and consumer loans grew by $69 million, or 15 percent. Total loans have increased $590 million, or 26 percent, with internal loan growth of $436 million, from September 30, 2005, with all loan categories showing increases. Including loans acquired, commercial loans increased the most, $277 million, or 22 percent, followed by real estate loans which increased $219 million, or 41 percent, which was the largest percentage gain, and consumer loans, which are primarily comprised of home equity loans, increasing by $93 million, or 21 percent. Investment securities, including interest bearing deposits in other financial institutions, and federal funds sold have decreased $75 million from December 31, 2005, or 8 percent, and have declined $136 million, or 13 percent, from 23 September 30, 2005. Investment securities, without interest bearing deposits and federal funds sold, have decreased $125 million from December 31, 2005, and $182 million from September 30, 2005. Investments, including interest bearing deposits and federal funds sold, at September 30, 2006 represented 22% of total assets versus 29% the prior year, which is a result of the continued use of investment cash flow to fund loan growth. The Company typically sells a majority of long-term mortgage loans originated, retaining servicing only on loans sold to certain lenders. The sale of loans in the secondary mortgage market reduces the Company's risk of holding long-term, fixed rate loans in the loan portfolio. Mortgage loans sold for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 were $329 million and $331 million, respectively, and for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 were $119 million and $156 million, respectively. The Company has also been active in generating commercial SBA loans. A portion of some of those loans is sold to other investors. The amount of loans sold and serviced for others at September 30, 2006 was approximately $170 million.

Acquisitions accounted for $14 million of the 2006 increase and $36 million of the increase from September 30, 2005. This low cost of funding continues to be a primary focus of each of our banks. Interest bearing deposits have increased $232 million since December 31, 2005, with Brokered and National Market CD's adding $68 million, and the Morgan acquisition adding $53 million to the total. Since September 30, 2005 interest bearing deposits have increased $397 million, or 23 percent, with $127 million of that amount from broker and Internet sources, and $140 million from acquisitions. Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) advances decreased $25 million, and repurchase agreements and other borrowed funds increased $17 million from December 31, 2005. FHLB advances are $277 million less than the September 30, 2005 balances due primarily to the above described increases in deposits and other funding sources including $163 million in U.S. Treasury Tax and Loan Term Auction funds, and $30 million additional subordinated debentures. Liquidity and Capital Resources The objective of liquidity management is to maintain cash flows adequate to meet current and future needs for credit demand, deposit withdrawals, maturing liabilities and corporate operating expenses. The principal source of the Company's cash revenues is the dividends received from the Company's banking subsidiaries. The payment of dividends is subject to government regulation, in that regulatory authorities may prohibit banks and bank holding companies from paying dividends which would constitute an unsafe or unsound banking practice. The subsidiaries source of funds is generated by deposits, principal and interest payments on loans, sale of loans and securities, short and long-term borrowings, and net earnings. In addition, all of the banking subsidiaries are members of the FHLB. As of September 30, 2006, the Company had $928 million of available FHLB borrowing line of which $377 million was utilized. Accordingly, management of the Company has a wide range of versatility in managing the liquidity and asset/liability mix for each individual institution as well as the Company as a whole. 24 Lending Commitments In the normal course of business, there are various outstanding commitments to extend credit, such as letters of credit and un-advanced loan commitments, which are not reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. Management does not anticipate any material losses as a result of these transactions.

The Company ratios compare favorably to the Federal Reserve Bank Peer Group average of .43 percent at June 30, 2006, the most recent information available. The allowance for loan losses was 455 percent of non-performing assets at September 30, 2006, up from 439 percent a year ago. The allowance, including $3.555 million from acquisitions, has increased $8.710 million, or 25 percent, from a year ago. The allowance of $43.216 million, is 1.51 percent of September 30, 2006 total loans outstanding, down slightly from the 1.52 percent a year ago. The 25 provision for loan losses expense was $3.840 million for the first nine months of 2006, a decrease of $809,000, or 17 percent, from the same period in 2005. Net charged off loans was $42 thousand, or .001% of loans, for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. Loan growth, average loan size, and credit quality considerations will determine the level of additional provision expense. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS -- THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2006 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2005. The Company reported net quarterly earnings of $15.806 million, an increase of $2.231 million, or 16 percent, over the $13.575 million for the third quarter of 2005. Net quarterly earnings were reduced by $519,000, or $0.02 per share, due to the January 1, 2006 adoption of SFAS 123(R) Share-based Payment which requires recording the estimated fair value of stock options as compensation expense. Diluted earnings per share for the quarter of $0.47 is an increase of 12 percent over the per share earnings of $0.42 for the same quarter of 2005. Excluding the affects of SFAS 123(R), diluted earnings per share would have been $0.49, or an increase of 17 percent over the prior year quarter. Annualized return on average assets and return on average equity for the quarter were 1.58 percent and 16.24 percent, respectively, which compares with prior year returns for the third quarter of 1.52 percent and 17.88 percent.

Total interest income increased $14.322 million from the prior year's quarter, or 29 percent, while total interest expense increased $9.077 million, or 57 percent. The increase in interest expense is primarily attributable to the volume increase in interest bearing deposits, and increases in short term interest rates during 2005 continuing into 2006. The net interest margin as a percentage of earning assets for the quarter, on a tax equivalent basis, was 4.28 percent which was 4 basis points higher than the 4.24 percent result for the third quarter of 2005. The margin for the third quarter of 2006 decreased 6 basis points from the second quarter of 2006 margin of 4.34 percent, primarily a result of the continued increase in funding costs. Issuing the $30 million subordinated debentures in advance of acquisitions also reduced net interest income by approximately $62,000 in the third quarter of 2006. Non-interest Income Fee income increased $1.022 million, or 12 percent, over the same period last year, driven primarily by an increased number of loan and deposit accounts from internal growth and acquisitions. Gain on sale of loans decreased $266 thousand, or 8 percent, from the third quarter of last year. Loan origination volume in our markets 26 for housing construction continues to remain very active by historical standards and the recent decline was expected with the slow down from unprecedented activity last year and as interest rates increased. Other income rose $672,000 of which $543,000 was non-recurring bank owned life insurance proceeds.

Compensation and benefit expense increased $2.307 million, or 17 percent. Excluding SFAS 123(R) compensation cost of $726 thousand the increase would have been 12 percent. The remaining increase in compensation and benefit expense was primarily attributed to four acquisitions during 2005 and normal compensation increases for job performance and increased costs for benefits. The number of full-time-equivalent employees has increased from 1,052 to 1,200, an 14 percent increase, since September 30, 2005. Occupancy and equipment expense increased $519 thousand, or 15 percent, reflecting the bank acquisitions, cost of additional branch locations and facility upgrades. Other expenses increased $814 thousand, or 13 percent, primarily from acquisitions, additional marketing expenses, and costs associated with new branch offices. The efficiency ratio (non-interest expense/net interest income + non-interest income) was 53 percent for the 2006 quarter, up from 52 percent for the 2005 quarter.

Compensation and benefit expense increased $9.939 million, or 27 percent. Excluding SFAS 123(R) compensation cost of $2.410 million the increase would have been 20 percent. The remaining increase in compensation and benefit expense was primarily attributed to four acquisitions during 2005, the addition of five new bank branches in 2006, and normal compensation increases for job performance and increased costs for benefits. Occupancy and equipment expense increased $1.434 million, or 15 percent, reflecting the acquisitions, cost of additional locations and facility upgrades. Other expenses increased $2.594 million, or 15 percent, primarily from acquisitions, additional marketing expenses, and costs associated with new branch offices. The efficiency ratio (non-interest expense/net interest income + non-interest income) increased to 53 percent from 52 percent for the first nine months of 2005 largely a result of the recent acquisitions and branch openings. Critical Accounting Policies Companies apply certain critical accounting policies requiring management to make subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to estimate the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. The Company considers its only critical accounting policy to be the allowance for loan losses. The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses charged against earnings. The balance of allowance for loan loss is maintained at the amount management believes will be adequate to absorb known and inherent losses in the loan portfolio. The appropriate balance of allowance for loan losses is determined by applying estimated loss factors to the credit exposure from outstanding loans. Estimated loss factors are based on subjective measurements including management's assessment of the internal risk classifications, changes in the nature of the loan portfolio, industry concentrations and the impact of current local, regional and national 28 economic factors on the quality of the loan portfolio. Changes in these estimates and assumptions are reasonably possible and may have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements, results of operations and liquidity. Effect of inflation and changing prices Generally accepted accounting principles require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars, without consideration for change in relative purchasing power over time due to inflation. Virtually all assets of a financial institution are monetary in nature; therefore, interest rates generally have a more significant impact on a company's performance than does the effect of inflation. Forward Looking Statements This Form 10-Q includes forward looking statements, which describe management's expectations regarding future events and developments such as future operating results, growth in loans and deposits, continued success of the Company's style of banking and the strength of the local economies in which it operates. Future events are difficult to predict, and the expectations described above are necessarily subject to risk and uncertainty that may cause actual results to differ materially and adversely. In addition to discussions about risks and uncertainties set forth from time to time in the Company's public filings, factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by such forward looking statements include, among others, the following possibilities: (1) local, national and international economic conditions are less favorable than expected or have a more direct and pronounced effect on the Company than expected and adversely affect the company's ability to continue its internal growth at historical rates and maintain the quality of its earning assets; (2) changes in interest rates reduce interest margins more than expected and negatively affect funding sources; (3) projected business increases following strategic expansion or opening or acquiring new banks and/or branches are lower than expected; (4) costs or difficulties related to the integration of acquisitions are greater than expected; (5) competitive pressure among financial institutions increases significantly; (6) legislation or regulatory requirements or changes adversely affect the businesses in which the Company is engaged.
