FIRST INTERSTATE BANCSYSTEM, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
(Dollars in thousands, except share and per share data)


(1) Basis of Presentation

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated
financial statements of First Interstate BancSystem, Inc. and subsidiairies
(the "Company") contain all adjustments (all of which are of a normal
recurring nature) necessary to present fairly the financial position at
June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, and the results of operations and cash
flows for each of the periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America. The balance sheet information at December 31, 2000 is derived from
audited consolidated financial statements, however, certain
reclassifications have been made to conform to the June 30, 2001
presentation, none of which were material.

(2) New Accounting Pronouncements

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting
for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." This statement
establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments,
including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and
for hedging activities. In June 2000, FASB issued SFAS No. 138, "Accounting
for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities - an
amendment of FASB Statement No. 133," addressing a limited number of
implementation issues in applying SFAS No. 133. SFAS No. 133, as amended by
SFAS No. 138 ("SFAS No. 133") is effective for all fiscal quarters of
fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. The adoption of SFAS No. 133 on
January 1, 2001 did not have a material effect on the consolidated
financial statements, results of operations or liquidity of the Company. As
of June 30, 2001, the Company was not engaged in hedging activities nor did
it hold any derivative instruments which required adjustments to carrying
values under SFAS No. 133. Upon adoption of SFAS No. 133, the Company
transferred held-to-maturity investment securities with amortized costs and
market values of $104,011 and $103,442, respectively, into the
available-for-sale investment category. Net unrealized holding losses of
$569, net of tax, on the transferred securities are reported in accumulated
other comprehensive income.

In September 2000, the FASB issued SFAS No. 140, "Accounting for Transfers
and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities - a
replacement of FASB Statement No. 125." SFAS No. 140 revises accounting
standards for securitizations and transfers of financial assets and
collateral and requires certain disclosures, but carries forward most of
SFAS No. 125's provisions without change. SFAS No. 140 is effective for
recognition and reclassification of collateral and disclosures relating to
securitization transactions and collateral for fiscal years ended after
December 15, 2000. Adoption of these provisions did not have a material
effect on the consolidated financial statements, results of operations or
liquidity of the Company. SFAS No. 140 is effective for transfers and
servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities occurring
after March 31, 2001. Adoption of the provisions of SFAS No. 140 on April
1, 2001 did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial
statements, results of operations or liquidity of the Company.

In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets," addressing financial accounting and reporting for acquired
goodwill and other intangible assets. Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill and
intangible assets that have indefinite useful lives will not be amortized
but rather will be tested at least annually for impairment. Intangible
assets that have finite useful lives will continue to be amortized over
their useful lives. SFAS No. 142 requires disclosure of changes in the
carrying amount of goodwill from period to period, the carrying amount of
intangible assets by major intangible asset class and the estimated
intangible asset amortization expense for the next five years. The
provisions of SFAS No. 142 are effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2001 and are required to be applied to all goodwill and other
intangible assets recognized in the financial statements at the date of
adoption, with the exception of goodwill and intangible assets acquired
after June 30, 2001, which will be subject immediately to the
nonamortization and amortization provisions of SFAS No. 142. Impairment
losses for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets arising due to
the initial application of SFAS No. 142 are to be reported as resulting
from a change in accounting principle. Management expects that adoption of
these provisions will not have a material effect on the consolidated
financial statements, results of operations or liquidity of the Company and
will continue to evaluate the implications of implementation. Goodwill and
core deposit intangible amortization expense for the six months ended June
30, 2001 and 2000 was $1,830 and $1,537, respectively.

(3) Computation of Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per common share (EPS) is calculated by dividing net income
by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the
period presented. Diluted earnings per common share is calculated by
dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares and
potential common shares outstanding during the period. The following table
sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the
three and six month periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000.

</TABLE>

(4) Cash Dividends

On July 13, 2001, the Company declared and paid a cash dividend on second
quarter earnings of $0.31 per share to stockholders of record on that date.
It has been the Company's practice to pay quarterly dividends based upon
earnings. The July 2001 dividend represents 30% of the Company's net income
for the quarter ended June 30, 2001 exclusive of compensation expense
related to outstanding stock options.

(5) Commitments and Contingencies

In the normal course of business, the Company is involved in various claims
and litigation. In the opinion of management, following consultation with
legal counsel, the ultimate liability or disposition thereof will not have
a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition, results
of operations or liquidity.

First Interstate BancSystem, Inc. (the "Parent Company") and the Billings
office of First Interstate Bank, Montana ("FIB Montana") are the anchor
tenants in a building owned by a partnership in which FIB Montana is one of
the two partners, and has a 50% partnership interest. The investment in the
partnership is accounted for using the equity method. At June 30, 2001 the
partnership had full recourse indebtedness of $8.6 million.

The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk
in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its
customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit
and standby letters of credit. These instruments involve, in varying
degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of amounts
recorded in the consolidated balance sheet.

Standby letters of credit and financial guarantees written are conditional
commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a
customer to a third party. Most commitments extend for no more than two
years. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially
the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The
Company holds various collateral supporting those commitments for which
collateral is deemed necessary.

(5) Commitments and Contingencies (continued)

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long
as there is no violation of any condition established in the commitment
contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other
termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the
commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total
commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.
The Company evaluates each customer's creditworthiness on a case-by-case
basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the
Company upon extension of credit, is based on management's credit
evaluation of the customer. Collateral held varies but may include accounts
receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, and income-producing
commercial properties.

(6) Comprehensive Income - Reclassification Adjustments

The reconciliation of unrealized holding gains (losses) arising during the
period to the net change in unrealized gain (loss) follows:

The Company has two significant lines of business, community banking and
technology services. Support services provided by the Company's holding
company, non-bank subsidiaries, operations department and mortgage
servicing branch are included in Other Support Services. Expenses for
centrally provided services are allocated to the reporting segments based
primarily upon estimated usage of services.

The Community Banking reporting segment encompasses consumer and commercial
banking services offered to individual and business customers. Services
provided primarily include the acceptance of deposits, extensions of credit
and fee-based trust and brokerage services.

(8) Segment Information (continued)

The Technology Services reporting segment encompasses technology services
provided to affiliated and non-affiliated financial institutions including
ATM processing support, item proof and capture services ("IP services"),
wide area network services and system support of general ledger, investment
security, loan and deposit systems.

Other Support Services include operational, financial, administrative and
treasury services provided to affiliates and mortgage servicing to
affiliated and non-affiliated financial institutions.

On January 1, 2001, the Company transferred IP services from Other Support
Services to the Technology Services reporting segment. Because expenses
associated with IP services provided prior to 2001 cannot be distinguished
from the expenses of other support services provided, the 2000 amounts
reported below have not been reclassified to reflect the transfer.
Increases in Technology Services revenues from other operating segments and
non-interest expenses for the three and six month periods ended June 30,
2001 as compared to the same period in the prior year are primarily due to
the transfer of IP services.

Selected segment information for the three and six month periods ended June
30, 2001 and 2000 follows:

ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


The following discussion focuses on significant factors affecting the
financial condition and results of operations of the Company during the three
and six month periods ended June 30, 2001, with comparisons to 2000 as
applicable. All earnings per share figures are presented on a diluted basis.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements contained in this review are "forward looking
statements" that involve risk and uncertainties. The Company wishes to caution
readers that the following factors, among others, may cause the actual results,
performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any
future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such
forward-looking statements. Such factors include general economic and business
conditions in those areas in which the Company operates, credit quality,
demographic changes, competition, fluctuations in interest rates, changes in
business strategy or development plans and changes in governmental regulations.

ASSET LIABILITY MANAGEMENT

Interest Rate Sensitivity. The primary objective of the Company's asset
liability management process is to optimize net interest income while prudently
managing balance sheet risks by understanding the levels of risk accompanying
its decisions and monitoring and managing these risks. The ability to optimize
net interest margin is largely dependent on the achievement of an interest rate
spread that can be managed during periods of fluctuating interest rates.
Interest sensitivity is a measure of the extent to which net interest income
will be affected by market interest rates over a period of time. Management
monitors the sensitivity of net interest margin by utilizing income simulation
models and traditional interest rate gap analysis.

Liquidity. The objective of liquidity management is to maintain the
Company's ability to meet the day-to-day cash flow requirements of its customers
who either wish to withdraw funds or require funds to meet their credit needs.
The Company manages its liquidity position to meet the needs of its customers,
while maintaining an appropriate balance between assets and liabilities to meet
the return on investment objectives of its stockholders. The Company monitors
the sources and uses of funds on a daily basis to maintain an acceptable
liquidity position, principally through deposit receipts and check payments;
loan originations, extensions, and repayments; and management of investment
securities.

The Company's current liquidity position is also supported by the
management of its investment portfolio, which provides a structured flow of
maturing and reinvestable funds that could be converted to cash, should the need
arise. Maturing balances in the Company's loan portfolio also provide options
for cash flow management. The ability to redeploy these funds is an important
source of immediate to long-term liquidity. Additional sources of liquidity
include customer deposits, Federal funds lines, borrowings and access to capital
markets.

As a holding company, the Parent Company is a corporation separate and
apart from its subsidiaries, and therefore, provides for its own liquidity. A
large portion of the Parent Company's revenues are dividends received from its
banking subsidiaries. In general, each banking subsidiary is limited, without
the prior consent of its state and federal regulators, to paying dividends that
do not exceed the current year net profits together with retained earnings from
the two preceding calendar years. In addition, state or federal regulators may
impose regulatory dividend limitations or prohibitions in certain circumstances.
The banking subsidiaries are not subject to dividend limitations other than
general limitations.

Capital Adequacy. The objective of capital adequacy is to provide adequate
capitalization to assure depositor, investor and regulatory confidence. The
intent is to provide sufficient capital funds to support growth and to absorb
fluctuations in income so that operations can continue in periods of uncertainty
while at the same time ensuring investable funds are available to foster
expansion.

OVERVIEW

The Company reported net income of $8.2 million, or $1.03 per share, during
the second quarter 2001, as compared to $7.7 million, or $0.96 per share,
recorded for the same period in 2000. This increase is primarily due to a $988
thousand non-credit loss recorded during the second quarter 2000.

Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2001 of $14.6 million, or
$1.83 per share, decreased slightly from $14.7 million, or $1.82 per share, for
the same period in 2000 primarily due to expenses attributable to new branch
openings and acquisitions occurring since June 2000.

EARNING ASSETS

Earning assets of $2,770 million at June 30, 2001 increased $169 million,
or 6.5%, from $2,601 million at December 31, 2000 primarily due to deployment of
increases in funding sources in Federal funds sold and internally generated
loans.

Loans. Total loans increased $108 million, or 5.5%, to $2,080 million as of
June 30, 2001 from $1,972 million as of December 31, 2000. All major categories
of loans except agricultural loans increased from December 31, 2000 with the
most significant growth occurring in real estate loans.

Investment Securities. The Company's investment portfolio is managed to
attempt to obtain the highest yield while meeting the Company's risk tolerance
and liquidity needs and to satisfy pledging requirements for deposits of state
and political subdivisions and securities sold under repurchase agreements.
Investment securities decreased $33 million, or 5.3%, to $594 million as of June
30, 2001 from $627 million as of December 31, 2000. Proceeds from maturities,
calls and principal paydowns during the first six months of 2001 were deployed
to fund increases in short-term cash equivalent investments.

Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand,
amounts due from banks, Federal funds sold for one day periods and interest
bearing deposits in banks with original maturities of less than three months.
Cash and cash equivalents increased $86 million, or 50.8%, to $255 million as of
June 30, 2001 from $169 million as of December 31, 2000. Excess funds generated
by deposit growth and maturities and paydowns of investment securities were
temporarily invested in short-term cash equivalent investments.

Income from Earning Assets. Interest income increased $4.3 million, or
8.2%, to $57.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001 from $52.8
million for the same period in 2000. Year-to-date interest income through June
30, 2001 of $113.3 million increased $10.9 million, or 10.7%, from $102.4
million for the same period in 2000. These increases are due primarily to
continued strong loan demand combined with increases in loan fees and slight
increases in loan yields. On a fully taxable equivalent basis, average earning
assets for the six month period ended June 30, 2001 of $2,650 million yielded
8.74% while average earning assets of $2,389 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2000 yielded 8.72%. New branches opened or acquired since June 2000
contributed $4.2 million of interest income during the first six months of 2001
on average earning assets of $100.7 million.

FUNDING SOURCES

The Company utilizes traditional funding sources to support its earning
asset portfolio including deposits, borrowings, Federal funds purchased and
repurchase agreements.

Deposits. Total deposits increased $143 million, or 6.0%, to $2,508 million
as of June 30, 2001 from $2,365 million as of December 31, 2000 primarily due to
internal growth. Increases in deposits were used primarily to fund loan growth.

Other Funding Sources. In addition to deposits, the Company also uses
short-term borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Seattle, repurchase
agreements with commercial depositors, long-term borrowings and, on a seasonal
basis, Federal funds purchased. Other funding sources increased $7 million, or
2.5%, to $304 million as of June 30, 2001 from $297 million as of December 31,
2000. The Company's funding requirements were primarily met through deposit
growth and liquidation of investment securities.




13
14


Cost of Funding Sources. Interest expense for the three months ended June
30, 2001 of $24.8 million increased $228 thousand, or less than 1%, from $24.6
million for the same period in 2000. Year-to-date interest expense through June
30, 2001 of $51.5 million increased $4.3 million, or 9.2%, from $47.2 million
for the same period in the prior year. This increase is primarily due to higher
volumes of interest-bearing liabilities and shifts in the mix of
interest-bearing liabilities toward higher yielding time deposits. Average
interest-bearing liabilities and trust preferred securities of $2,289 million
during the six months ended June 30, 2001 cost 4.54% while average
interest-bearing liabilities and trust preferred securities of $2,082 million
during the six months ended June 30, 2000 cost 4.56%. New branches opened or
acquired since June 2000 recorded interest expense of $2.1 million during the
first six months of 2001on average interest-bearing liabilities of $83.9
million.

NET INTEREST INCOME

The most significant impact on the Company's net interest income between
periods is derived from the interaction of changes in the volume of and rates
earned or paid on interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities. Net
interest income on a fully-taxable equivalent ("FTE") basis of $63.3 million for
the six months ended June 30, 2001 increased $6.8 million, or 12.1%, from $56.5
million for the same period in the prior year. The net interest margin ratio
increased 7 basis points to 4.82% for the six months ended June 30, 2001 as
compared to 4.75% for the same period in 2000 primarily due to increases in loan
yields resulting from high real estate loan volumes combined with effective
management of funding costs.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSS

Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for loan losses creates an
allowance for loan losses inherent within the portfolio. The loan loss provision
each period is dependent on many factors, including loan growth, net
charge-offs, changes in the composition of the loan portfolio, delinquencies,
management's assessment of the quality of the loan portfolio, the value of
underlying collateral on problem loans and general economic conditions in the
Company's markets. The Company performs a quarterly assessment of risks inherent
in its loan portfolio, as well as a detailed review of each asset determined to
have identified weaknesses. Based on this analysis, which includes reviewing
historical loss trends, current economic conditions, industry concentrations and
specific reviews of assets classified with identified weaknesses, the Company
makes a provision for loan losses. Fluctuations in the provision for loan losses
result from management's assessment of the adequacy of the allowance for loan
losses. Ultimate loan losses may vary from current estimates. The provision for
loan losses increased $97 thousand, or 7.9%, to $1.3 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $1.2 million for the same period in
the prior year. Year-to-date through June 30, 2001, the provision for loan
losses increased $55 thousand, or 2.2%, from the same period in the prior year.

Non-Performing Loans. Non-performing loans include loans past due 90 days
or more and still accruing interest, non-accrual loans and restructured loans.
Non-performing loans increased $1.2 million, or 4.1%, to $30 million as of June
30, 2001 as compared to $29 million as of June 30, 2000. At June 30, 2001, the
ratio of non-performing loans to total loans was 1.44%. Non-performing loans as
of December 31, 2000 totaled $27 million, or 1.37% of total loans.

NON-INTEREST INCOME

The Company's principal sources of non-interest income include service
charges on deposit accounts; technology services revenues; other service
charges, commissions and fees; and, income from fiduciary activities, comprised
principally of fees earned on trust assets. Non-interest income increased $784
thousand, or 8.1%, to $10.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001
from $9.7 million for the same period in 2000. During the six-month period ended
June 30, 2001, non-interest income of $20.4 million increased $1.7 million, or
9.3%, from $18.7 million for the same period in the prior year. Increases in
non-interest income were a function of changes in each of the principal
categories, as discussed below.

Service Charges on Deposit Accounts. Service charges on deposit accounts
increased $634 thousand, or 20.7%, to $3.7 million for the quarter ended June
30, 2001 from $3.1 million for the same period in 2000. For the six months ended
June 30, 2001 service charges on deposit accounts of $7.2 million increased $1.2
million, or 20.7%, from $5.9 million for the same period in the prior year. New
branches opened or acquired since June 2000 contributed approximately 33% of the
quarter-to-date and year-to-date increases. The remaining increases occurred
primarily in overdraft fees.




14
15


Technology Services Revenues. Technology services revenues increased $48
thousand, or 1.9%, to $2.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2001.
Year-to-date through June 30, 2001, technology services revenues of $5.0 million
decreased $102 thousand, or 2.0%, from $5.1 million for the same period in the
prior year. Increases in core data processing revenues were offset by decreases
in IP service revenues. In addition, ATM rates were reduced an average of 18%
during the third quarter of 2000 due to competitive pressure in the Company's
market areas resulting in a $52 thousand decrease in ATM fee income for the six
months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to the same period in the prior year.

Other Service Charges, Commissions and Fees. Other service charges,
commissions and fees increased $206 thousand, or 12.7%, to $1.8 million for the
quarter ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $1.6 million for the same period in
the prior year. For the six months ended June 30, 2001, other service charges,
commissions and fees of $3.6 million increased $494 thousand, or 15.9%, from
$3.1 million for the same period in the prior year. These increases are
primarily due to loan servicing income resulting from internal growth and the
acquisition of loan servicing rights in late December 2000, and increases in
debit card interchange fees resulting from increases in transaction volumes.

Other Real Estate Income/Expense. Variations in net other real estate
(OREO) income/expense during the periods resulted principally from fluctuations
in gains and losses on sales of OREO. The Company incurred net OREO expense of
$123 thousand for the six-month period ended June 30, 2001 as compared to net
OREO income of $315 thousand during the same period in 2000.

Other Income. Other income, primarily brokerage fees, check printing income
and gains on the sale of fixed assets, increased $203 thousand, or 20.7%, to
$1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001 from $981 thousand for the
same period in the prior year. Other income for the six months ended June 30,
2001 of $2.3 million increased $486 thousand, or 26.5%, from $1.8 million for
the same period in the prior year. These increases are primarily due to the
partial recovery of two previously recorded non-credit losses aggregating $196
thousand during the second quarter 2001 and increases in the earning of
unconsolidated joint ventures of $202 thousand. These increases were partially
offset by decreases in brokerage fees of $168 thousand year-to-date.

OTHER NON-INTEREST EXPENSE

Other operating expenses increased $3.8 million, or 15.8%, to $28.5 million
for the quarter ended June 30, 2001 from $24.6 million for the same period in
2000. Other operating expenses of $56.9 million for the six months ended June
30, 2001 increased $8.4 million, or 17.4%, from $48.4 million for the same
period in 2000. Significant components of this increase are discussed below:

Salaries, Wages and Employee Benefits Expenses. Salaries, wages and
employee benefits expenses increased $2.5 million, or 20.8%, to $14.7 million
for the three months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $12.1 million for the
same period in the prior year. Salaries, wages and employee benefits expenses of
$29.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 increased $5.1 million, or
20.7%, from $24.8 million for the same period in the prior year. Approximately
$700 thousand of the second quarter increase and $1.6 million of the
year-to-date increase is attributable to new branch openings or acquisitions
since June 2000. In addition, approximately $282 thousand of the second quarter
increase and $674 thousand of the year-to-date increase is the result of
compensation expense related to outstanding stock options. The remaining
increases are primarily due to increases in administrative staffing levels to
support the Company's expanding number of branches, increases in group health
insurance premiums and inflationary wage increases.

Occupancy. Occupancy expense increased $337 thousand, or 17.2%, to $2.3
million for the three months ended June 30, 2001 compared to $2.0 million for
the same period in 2000. For the six months ended June 30, 2001, occupancy
expense of $4.6 million increased $731 thousand, or 18.8% from $3.9 million for
the same period in the prior year. Approximately 50% of the second quarter and
year-to-date increases are attributable to new branches openings or acquisitions
since June 2000. The remaining increases are primarily due to increased
depreciation and maintenance costs associated with remodels and upgrades to
existing facilities.

Furniture and Equipment. Furniture and equipment expenses increased $292
thousand, or 10.6%, to $3.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001
from $2.7 million for the same period in 2000. Furniture and equipment expenses
of $5.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 increased $495 thousand,
or 9.2%,



15
16


from $5.4 million for the same period in 2000. Approximately 40% of the second
quarter and year-to-date increases are attributable to new branch openings or
acquisitions since June 2000. The remaining increases are largely due to
depreciation expense associated with the Company's continuing investment in
technology and other costs of upgrading computer hardware and software,
principally associated with check-imaging technology.

Goodwill and Core Deposit Intangible Amortization Expense. Goodwill and
core deposit intangible amortization expense increased $127 thousand, or 16.4%,
to $900 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2001 from $773 thousand for
the same period in the prior year. Goodwill and core deposit amortization
expense for the six months ended June 30, 2001 of $1.8 million increased $293
thousand, or 19.1%, from $1.5 million for the same period in the prior year.
These increases are due to the acquisition of two banking offices during the
third quarter of 2000.

Other Expenses. Other expenses include advertising and public relation
costs, legal, audit and other professional fees; office supply, postage,
freight, telephone and travel expenses; other losses; and mortgage servicing
intangible amortization. Other expenses increased $606 thousand, or 8.8%, to
$7.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2001 from $6.9 million for the same
period in 2000. Other expenses increased $1.8 million, or 14.1%, to $14.4
million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 from $12.6 million for the same
period in the prior year. Approximately $506 thousand of the second quarter
increase and $826 thousand of the year-to-date increase are attributable to new
branch openings or acquisitions since June 2000. In addition, during the first
six months of 2001, the Company recognized increases in: losses on disposals of
fixed assets of $235 thousand; its share of losses incurred by unconsolidated
joint ventures of $157 thousand; losses on charged-off checking accounts of $101
thousand; impairment charges on its capitalized mortgage servicing rights of
$113 thousand; unrealized holding losses of $96 thousand on insurance company
demutualization stocks; and write downs of the value of bank premises of $85
thousand. The remaining year-to-date increase is primarily due to increases in
business meals, public relations costs, professional fees associated with sales
training initiatives, travel costs, mortgage servicing intangible amortization
expense related to growth in the Company's loan servicing portfolio and
increases in cash basis expenses such as postage and telephone.

SEGMENT RESULTS

The following paragraphs contain a discussion of the financial performance
of each of the Company's reportable segments for the three and six-month periods
ended June 30, 2001 and 2000.

Community Banking. Community banking encompasses consumer and commercial
banking services offered to individual and business customers. The Community
Banking reporting segment's net income increased $1.4 million, or 15.1%, to
$10.4 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $9.0
million for the same period in the prior. Year-to-date net income through June
30, 2001 of $19.0 million increased $1.7 million, or 9.9%, from $17.3 for the
same period in the prior year. Year-to-date and second quarter increases are
primarily due to increases in net interest income and loan and overdraft fees;
the partial recovery of two previously recorded non-credit losses; and increases
in the earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures. These increases were partially
offset by net losses incurred by new branches opened or acquired since June
2000, losses on charged-off checking accounts and the write-down of bank
premises.

Technology Services. The Technology Services reporting segment encompasses
technology services provided to the Company's banking subsidiaries and to
non-affiliated financial institutions. Technology services' net income was flat
at $738 thousand for the three-month period ended June 30, 2001 as compared to
$739 thousand for the same period in the prior year. Net income for the
six-month period ended June 30, 2001 increased $126 thousand, or 8.9%, to $1.5
million as compared to $1.4 million for the same period in 2000 primarily due to
increases in core data processing revenues from other operating segments. On
January 1, 2001, the Company transferred IP services from Other Support Services
to the Technology Services reporting segment. Because expenses associated with
IP services prior to 2001 cannot be distinguished from the expenses of other
support services provided, the 2000 amounts reported have not been reclassified
to reflect the transfer. Increases in Technology Services revenues from other
operating segments and external sources and increases in non-interest expenses
during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2001 as compared to the
same period in the prior year are primarily due to revenues and expenses
associated with IP services.

Other Support Services. Other Support Services consist primarily of the
Company's operational, financial, administrative, treasury and mortgage
servicing centers. Net losses generated by the Other Support Services reporting
segment of $2.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001 increased $857
thousand, or 41.6%, from $2.1 million for the same period in the prior year. Net
losses for the six-month period ended June 30, 2001 increased $1.9 million, or
48.0%, to $6.0 million as compared to $4.0 million for the same period in the
prior year. Increases in second quarter and year-to-date net losses are
primarily due to increases in administrative staffing levels to support the
Company's expanding number of branches; compensation expense related to
outstanding stock options; professional fees associated with sales training
initiatives; and, higher interest expense and goodwill and core deposit
intangible amortization expense resulting from an acquisition in third quarter
of 2000. In addition, the Other Support Services reporting segment recorded
impairment on mortgage servicing rights and unrealized holding losses on
insurance company demutualization stocks during the first quarter 2001 and
losses incurred by unconsolidated joint ventures and provisions for loan losses
during the second quarter 2001. Theses expenses were partially offset by
increases in loan servicing income and debit card interchange fees.
