Net Interest Income

Net interest income for the quarter increased $7 million, or 13 percent, with interest expense decreasing $8 million, or 38 percent, over the same period in 2008. Net interest income for the current quarter increased $148 thousand with interest expense decreasing $138 thousand, or 1 percent, compared to the prior quarter. The decrease in total interest expense is primarily attributable to rate decreases in interest bearing deposits and lower cost borrowings. The net interest margin as a percentage of earning assets, on a tax equivalent basis, was 4.80 percent which is 7 basis points lower than the 4.87 percent achieved for the prior quarter; however 15 basis points higher than the 4.65 percent result for the third quarter of 2008.

Non-interest Income

Non-interest income for the quarter increased $382 thousand, or 2 percent, from the prior quarter, and increased $10 million, or 85 percent, over the same period in 2008. Fee income increased $726 thousand, or 6 percent, during the quarter, compared to the decrease of $697 thousand, or 5 percent, over the same period last year. Gain on sale of loans decreased $3.5 million, or 38 percent, for the quarter a result of the slowdown in refinance activity from a very active second quarter. Gain on sale of loans from the prior year increased $2 million, or 59 percent, primarily the result of increased refinancing of residential loans originated and sold in the secondary market. Investments sold during the quarter resulted in a $2.7 million gain compared to the prior year loss of $7.6 million from an other than temporary impairment on investments in Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("Freddie Mac") preferred stock and Federal National Mortgage Association ("Fannie Mae") common stock. Other income decreased $1.7 million from prior year, the result of a $1.7 million gain from the sale and relocation of Mountain West Bank's office facility in Ketchum, Idaho during the third quarter of 2008.

                                               =======         ======

Non-interest expense decreased by $1 million, or 2 percent from the prior quarter and increased $4 million, or 11 percent, from prior year's third quarter. Compensation and employee benefits increased $225 thousand, or 1 percent, from prior quarter and decreased $253 thousand, or 1 percent, from prior year's third quarter. The current quarter increase in compensation and employee benefits is a result of prior quarter's significant reductions in

bonuses and employee benefits tied to Company performance. The number of full-time equivalent employees decreased from 1,597 to 1,577 during the quarter, and increased from 1,539 since the end of the 2008 third quarter. Occupancy and equipment expense has increased $224 thousand, or 4 percent, and $333 thousand, or 6 percent, from prior quarter and prior year's third quarter, respectively, reflecting the cost of additional branch locations and facility upgrades. Advertising and promotion expense decreased $126 thousand, or 7 percent, from prior quarter and decreased $346 thousand, or 18 percent, from the same quarter of 2008. The decrease of $1.5 million, or 11 percent, in other expense from prior quarter is a result of a decrease in $2.1 million in FDIC insurance and an increase of $565 thousand in expenses associated with repossessed assets. The increase of $4.1 million, or 53 percent, in other expense from prior year's third quarter is a result of an increase of $1.3 million in FDIC insurance, $1.8 million of loss from sales of other real estate owned, and $830 thousand in expenses associated with repossessed assets.

The efficiency ratio (non-interest expense / net interest income plus non-interest income) was 51 percent for the quarter, compared to 53 percent, excluding the effects of the other than temporary impairment on investments and gain on sale of branch, for the 2008 third quarter.

Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses

The current quarter provision for loan loss expense was $47 million, an increase of $38 million from the same quarter in 2008. Net charged-off loans for the quarter were $19 million.

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 in "Financial Condition Analysis" - Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses.

                                          ========        ========      =======

Non-interest expense increased by $15 million, or 13 percent, from the first nine months of 2008. Compensation and employee benefit expense increased $337 thousand, or 1 percent, from the first nine months of 2008, due to the increased number of employees added since September 30, 2008, which was partially offset by the reductions in bonuses and employee benefits. Occupancy and equipment expense increased $2 million, or 10 percent, reflecting the cost of additional locations and facility upgrades. Advertising and promotion expense decreased $272 thousand, or 5 percent, from 2008. Other expenses increased $13 million, or 60 percent, since September 30, 2008. The increase in other expenses includes $5.7 million in FDIC insurance premiums, $1.3 million in outside legal, accounting, and audit firm expense, $3.8 million loss from sales of other real estate owned, and $1.5 million expense associated with repossessed assets. Of the increase in FDIC insurance premiums year-to-date, $2.5 million is attributable to the second quarter asset-based special assessment. The efficiency ratio (non-interest expense/net interest income plus non-interest income) was 51 percent for 2009 compared favorably to 55 percent for 2008.

Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses

The provision for loan loss expense was $88 million for the first nine months of 2009, an increase of $72 million, or 441 percent, from the same period in 2008. Net charged-off loans during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $39 million, an increase of $34 million from the same period in 2008.

At September 30, 2009, total loans were $4.046 billion, a decrease of $84 million, over total loans of $4.130 billion at December 31, 2008, primarily the result of decreased loan demand. Real estate loans decreased $50 million, or 6 percent, from the fourth quarter of 2008. Consumer loans, which are primarily comprised of home equity loans, decreased by $16 million, or 2 percent, while commercial loans decreased $18 million, or less than 1 percent, during the first nine months of 2009. Total loans increased $124 million, or 3 percent from September 30, 2008. Since September 30, 2008, commercial loans increased $106 million, or 4 percent, real estate loans grew by $18 million, or 2 percent, and consumer loans decreased $589 thousand, or less than 1 percent.

Investment securities, including interest bearing deposits in other financial institutions and federal funds sold, have increased $262 million, or 26 percent, from December 31, 2008 and increased $395 million, or 46 percent, from September 30, 2008. Investment securities represented 22 percent of total assets at September 30, 2009 versus 17 percent of total assets at September 30, 2008. The Company continues to purchase investment securities when high quality loan originations slow.

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 with servicing released for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 were $982 million and $520 million, respectively, and for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 were $276 million and $164 million, respectively. The Company has also been active in originating commercial SBA loans, some of which are sold to investors. The amount of loans sold and serviced for others at September 30, 2009 was approximately $179 million.

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 each bank subsidiary's loan and lease portfolios. Accordingly, the ALLL is maintained within a range of estimated losses. The determination of the ALLL and the related provision for credit losses 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 and lease portfolios, economic conditions nationally and in the local markets in which the community bank subsidiaries operate, changes in collateral values, delinquencies, non-performing assets and net charge-offs. Although the Company and the banks continue to actively monitor economic trends, a softening of economic conditions combined with declines in the values of real estate that collateralize most of the Company's loan and lease portfolios may adversely affect the credit risk and potential for loss to the Company.

The ALLL evaluation is well documented and approved by each bank subsidiary's Board of Directors and reviewed by the Parent's Board of Directors. In addition, the policy and procedures for determining the balance of the ALLL are reviewed annually by each bank subsidiary's Board of Directors, the Parent's Board of Directors, independent credit reviewer and state and federal bank regulatory agencies.

At the end of each quarter, each of the community bank subsidiaries analyzes its loan and lease portfolio and maintain an ALLL at a level that is appropriate and determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The ALLL balance covers estimated credit losses on individually evaluated loans, including those which are determined to be impaired, as well as estimated credit losses inherent in the remainder of the loan and lease portfolios. Each of the Bank's ALLL is adequate to absorb losses from any segment of its loan and lease portfolio.

The Company is committed to a conservative management of the credit risk within the loan and lease portfolios, including the early recognition of problem loans. The Company's credit risk management includes stringent credit policies, individual loan approval limits, limits on concentrations of credit, and committee approval of larger loan requests. Management practices also include regular internal and external credit examinations, identification and review of individual loans and leases experiencing deterioration of credit quality, procedures for the collection of non-performing assets, quarterly monitoring of the loan and lease portfolios, semi-annual review of loans by industry, and periodic stress testing of the loans secured by real estate.

The Company's model of ten wholly-owned, independent community banks, each with its own loan committee, chief credit officer and Board of Directors, provides substantial local oversight to the lending and credit management function. Unlike a traditional, single-bank holding company, the Company's decentralized 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 and the community bank subsidiaries operate further mitigates the risk of credit loss. While this process is intended to limit credit exposure, there can be no assurance that problem credits will not arise and 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, utilizing each of the Bank's internal credit risk rating process, 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.

The Company considers the ALLL balance of $125.3 million adequate to cover inherent losses in the loan and lease portfolios as of September 30, 2009. However, no assurance can be given that the Company will not, in any particular period, sustain losses that are significant relative to the amount reserved, or that subsequent evaluations of the loan and lease portfolios 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 credit losses. See additional risk factors in Part II - Other information, Item 1A - Risk Factors.
