NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1) Basis of Presentation:

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated
financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of Glacier
Bancorp Inc.'s (the "Company") financial condition as of March 31, 2001,
December 31, 2000, and March 31, 2000 and the results of operations and
cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include all of
the information and footnotes required by accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America for complete
financial statements. These consolidated financial statements should be
read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes
thereto contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 2000. Operating results for the three months
ended March 31, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the results
anticipated for the year ending December 31, 2001. Certain
reclassifications have been made to the 2000 financial statements to
conform to the 2001 presentation.

2) Organizational Structure:

The Company, headquartered in Kalispell, Montana, a Delaware corporation
incorporated in 1998, is the successor corporation in a merger with the
original Glacier Bancorp, Inc., a Delaware corporation incorporated in
1990, pursuant to the reorganization of Glacier Bank, FSB into a bank
holding company. The formation of the new corporation, and subsequent
merger, was effected to resolve technical deficiencies in the May 9,
1997 stock split.

The Company is the parent company for ten subsidiaries: Glacier Bank
("Glacier"); Glacier Bank of Whitefish ("Whitefish"); Glacier Bank of
Eureka ("Eureka"); First Security Bank of Missoula ("Missoula"); Valley
Bank of Helena ("Helena"), Big Sky Western Bank ("Big Sky"), Western
Security Bank ("Western"), Glacier Capital Trust I ("Glacier Trust"),
and Community First, Inc. ("CFI"), all located in Montana, and Mountain
West Bank ("Mountain West") which is located in Idaho and Utah. CFI
provides full service brokerage services through Raymond James Financial
Services, Inc. At March 31, 2001, the Company owned 100% of Glacier,
Missoula, Helena, Big Sky, Mountain West, Western, Glacier Trust and
CFI; 94% of Whitefish, and 98% of Eureka.

The Company formed Glacier Capital Trust I (Glacier Trust) as a
financing subsidiary on December 18, 2000. On January 25, 2001, Glacier
Trust offered 1,400,000 preferred securities at $25 per preferred
security. The purchase of the securities entitles the shareholder to
receive cumulative cash distributions at an annual interest rate of
9.40% from payments on the junior subordinated debentures of Glacier
Bancorp, Inc. The subordinated debentures will mature and the preferred
securities must be redeemed by February 1, 2031. In exchange for the
Company's capital contribution, the Company obtained all of the
outstanding common securities of the trust.

10) Recent Acquisitions

On February 28, 2001 the Company completed the acquisition of WesterFed
Financial Corporation. The Company issued 4,530,462 shares and
$37,274,000 cash to shareholders in consideration of the merger. The
acquisition is being accounted for, using the purchase method of
accounting. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities of WesterFed were
recorded by the Company at their respective fair values at the time of
the completion of the merger and the results of WesterFed have been
included with those of the Company since the date of the 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 and will be amortized over a
useful life of 20 years.


The estimated fair values of net assets acquired at the acquisition date

On March 15, 2001, the Company completed the acquisition, subject to
certain adjustments, of seven Wells Fargo & Company and First Security
Corporation subsidiary banks located in Idaho and Utah. The acquisition
is being accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.
Accordingly, the assets and liabilities of the acquired banks were
recorded by the Company at there respective fair values at the date of
the acquisition and the results of the banks operations have been
included with those of the Company since the date of the acquisition.
The excess of the Company's purchase price over the net fair value of

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

Recent Developments

Completed Acquisitions

The acquisition of Missoula, Montana based WesterFed with December 31, 2000
assets of $929 million, loans of $623 million, and deposits of $606 million was
completed on February 28, 2001. WesterFed shareholders received 4,530,462 shares
of Glacier Bancorp stock and $37,274,000 in cash as compensation for the
acquisition. WesterFed was the holding company for Western Security Bank,
Montana's largest savings bank with twenty-seven offices in fourteen Montana
communities. Western Security Bank is a separate banking subsidiary of the
Company. It is intended that by the end of the fiscal year, several of the
branch offices will become branches of other Glacier Bank subsidiaries, based on
their geographic location. The remaining branches will continue as a separate
subsidiary under the Western Security Bank name, with the main office located in
Billings, Montana.

The acquisition of seven Wells Fargo & Company and First Security Corporation
branches located in Boise, Nampa, Hailey, and Ketchum, Idaho and Brigham City
and Park City, Utah by Mountain West Bank of Coeur d'Alene, Idaho was completed
on March 15, 2001. The purchase included approximately $184 million in deposits,
$37 million in loans, and real estate and equipment of the branches.

Both acquisitions were accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.
Accordingly, the assets and liabilities were recorded by the Company at their
respective fair values at the time of the completion of the acquisitions and
the results of operations include the results of the acquired operations since
the dates of acquisitions.

As a result of these acquisitions, the Company is now the largest publicly
traded bank holding company headquartered in the inland northwest, with assets
exceeding $2 billion.

Sale of Six Branch Offices

On March 23, 2001 the sale of six branch locations with assets of $79 million to
Stockman Bank was announced. Stockman Bank will acquire five Western Security
Bank offices located in Conrad, Havre, and three branches in Great Falls and one
Glacier Bank office located in Cutbank.

The proposed acquisition is subject to the approval of federal banking
regulators, and the parties expect to receive such approval by early June. It is
anticipated the transaction will close by the end of June 2001.

Financial Condition

This section discusses the changes in Statement of Financial Condition items
from December 31, 2000 to March 31, 2001.

Since December 31, 2000 total assets have increased $1.076 billion, or 102
percent, to $2.133 billion, the result of completion of the WesterFed Financial
Corporation acquisition, and branch purchases in Idaho and Utah from Wells Fargo
and First Security Corporation. Total loans, net of the reserve for loan losses,
have increased $658 million, or 90 percent, of which $650 million came from the
acquisitions. The loan growth has occurred in all loan classifications.
Commercial loans increased $222.9 million, or 65 percent, consumer loans
increased $169.8 million, or 100 percent, and residential real estate loans
increased $274.6 million or 119 percent. Internal growth in loans since March
31, 2000 was $69 million, a 10 percent increase.



14
15

Loans sold to the secondary market amounted to $34.430 million and $18.678
million during the first three months of 2001 and 2000, respectively.

The amount of loans serviced for others on March 31, 2001 was approximately $352
million.

Total deposits have increased $785 million, or 109 percent, over the December
31, 2000 balances. Total deposits acquired were $787 million, leaving a decrease
of $2 million from internal activity. Total deposits are also up $833 million
from March 31, 2000, of which $48 million is from internal growth. Non-interest
bearing deposits are up $86 million, or 61 percent from December 31, 2000, and
interest-bearing deposits have increased $699 million, or 121 percent from
December 31, 2000. Borrowed funds, including the subordinated debentures issued
with the trust preferred security, and repurchase agreements, have increased
$205 million, or 90 percent.

All eight banking subsidiaries are members of the FHLB. 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. As of March 31, 2001, the Company had $710,113,000 of available FHLB line
of which $355,457,000 was utilized.

Loan Loss Provision and Non-Performing Assets

Asset quality continued to be very strong during the quarter. Non-performing
assets as a percentage of total assets at March 31, 2001 were .37 percent versus
.23 at the same time last year, but still well below the Peer Group average of
.53 percent at December 31, 2000, the most recent information available. The
reserve for loan losses was 216 percent of non-performing assets at March 31,
2001, down from 310 percent a year ago.

With the growth in loan balances, and the continuing change in loan mix from
residential real estate to commercial and consumer loans, which historically
have greater credit risk, the Company has increased the balance in the reserve
for loan losses account. The reserve balance has increased $9.248 million, or
119 percent, to $17.047 million, of which $8.893 million is from acquisitions.
The reserve balance is 1.21 percent of total loans outstanding, up from 1.05
percent of loans at December 31, 2000. The first quarter provision expense for
loan losses was $585 thousand, up from $487 thousand during the same quarter in
2000. Changes in the information related to the allowance for loan loss account
are shown in the following table:

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
March 31, 2001 December 31, 2000
-------------- -----------------
<S> <C> <C>
Total Allowance for Loan and Real Estate Owned Losses: $17.047 million $7.799 million

Allowance as a percentage of Total Loans: 1.21% 1.05%

Allowance as a percentage of Non-performing Assets: 216% 372%
</TABLE>

Impaired Loans

As of March 31, 2001, there was $5.885 million in impaired loans. Interest
income on impaired loans and interest recoveries on loans that have been charged
off, is recognized on a cash basis after principal has been fully paid, or at
the time a loan becomes fully performing based on the terms of the loan.

Minority Interest

The minority interest on the consolidated statement of financial condition
represents the minority stockholders' share in the retained earnings of the
Company. These are shares of Eureka and Whitefish that are still outstanding. As
of March 31, 2001, the Company owns 47,280 shares of Whitefish and 49,084 shares
of Eureka. The Company's ownership of Whitefish and Eureka is 94% and 98%,
respectively. Glacier has a plan in place to purchase the minority interest in
the two subsidiaries and subsequently merge the two subsidiaries. It is
anticipated that the transactions will occur in the second quarter of 2001.



15
16

Stockholders' Equity

Total stockholders' equity increased $61 million, or 62 percent, primarily the
result of the stock issued in connection with the recent acquisition of
WesterFed Financial Corporation.

Results of Operations -- The three months ended March 31, 2001 compared to the
three months ended March 31, 2000.

The Company reported quarterly earnings of $3.9 million, or fully diluted
earnings per share of $.29 compared to $3.2 million, and diluted earnings of
$.28 last year, an increase of 21 percent. Return on average assets and return
on average equity, were 1.14 percent and 13.14 percent compared to 1.33 percent
and 15.06 percent for the same quarter last year. The Company's results of
operations comparability has been affected by the acquisitions completed during
the first quarter of 2001 as described under recent developments and in footnote
10 to the consolidated financial statements.

Net Interest Income

Top line revenue growth continues to accelerate as a result of the Company's
growth both internally and from acquisitions. Net interest income for the
quarter was $13.102 million, an increase of $3.201 million, or 32 percent, over
the same period in 2000. The growth in earning assets and the increase in
non-interest bearing deposits resulted in a significant increase in net interest
income. The net interest margin continues to be a challenge as the spread on
assets acquired is less than the spread on the previous asset base. As a
percentage of earning assets, on a tax equivalent basis, the margin has declined
from 4.4 percent for the quarter ending March 31, 2000 to 4.0 percent this year.

Non-interest Income

Fee income from loans was $125 thousand, or 22 percent higher in the first
quarter of 2001 than the same quarter in 2000. There also was an increase in
service charge and other fee income of $588 thousand, or 32 percent. Gain on
sale of loans increased $97 thousand, or 26 percent. Net gains on securities
sales of $64 thousand in 2001, compared to a net loss of $30 thousand in 2000,
were recorded.

Non-interest Expense

Non-interest expense increased by $2.865 million, or 37 percent, over the first
quarter of 2000. Included in the 2001 total is $406 thousand in merger and
conversion expense. Without those non-recurring expenses non-interest expense
increased by $2.459 million, or 32 percent. Compensation and employee benefits
increased $1.300 million or 33 percent. Occupancy and equipment expense was up
$334 thousand, or 31 percent, and other expenses, which include the merger and
conversion expenses, were up $984 thousand, or 46 percent. Amortization of core
deposits and goodwill was $168 thousand and $224 thousand, respectively, which
is an increase of $252 thousand over the prior year due primarily to the
acquisitions.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market risk is the risk of loss in a financial instrument arising from adverse
changes in market rates/prices such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange
rates, commodity prices, and equity prices. The Company's primary market risk
exposure is interest rate risk. The ongoing monitoring and management of this
risk is an important component of the Company's asset/liability management
process which is governed by policies established by its Board of Directors that
are reviewed and approved annually. The Board of Directors delegates
responsibility for carrying out the asset/liability management policies to the
Asset/Liability committee (ALCO). In this capacity ALCO develops guidelines and
strategies impacting the Company's asset/liability management related activities
based upon estimated market risk sensitivity, policy limits and overall market
interest rate levels/trends.

Interest Rate Risk:

Interest rate risk represents the sensitivity of earnings to changes in market
interest rates. As interest rates change the interest income and expense streams
associated with the Company's financial instruments also change thereby
impacting net interest income (NII), the primary component of the Company's
earnings. ALCO utilizes the results of a detailed and dynamic simulation model
to quantify the estimated exposure of NII to sustained interest rate changes.
While ALCO routinely monitors simulated NII sensitivity over a rolling two-year
horizon, it also utilizes additional tools to monitor potential longer-term
interest rate risk.

The simulation model captures the impact of changing interest rates on the
interest income received and interest expense paid on all assets and liabilities
reflected on the Company's balance sheet. This sensitivity analysis is compared
to ALCO policy limits which specify a maximum tolerance level for NII exposure
over a one year horizon, assuming no balance sheet growth, given a 200 basis
point (bp) upward and downward shift in interest rates. A parallel and pro rata
shift in rates over a 12 month period is assumed. The following reflects the
Company's NII sensitivity analysis as of December 31, 2000, the most recent
information available, as compared to the 10% Board approved policy limit
(dollars in thousands). There have been no material changes in the analysis from
December 31, 2000 to March 31, 2001.

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
Interest Rate Sensitivity
+200 bp -200 bp
------- -------
<S> <C> <C>
Estimated sensitivity -2.75% 1.73%
Estimated increase (decrease) in net interest income $ (2,007) 1,262
</TABLE>

The preceding sensitivity analysis does not represent a Company forecast and
should not be relied upon as being indicative of expected operating results.
These hypothetical estimates are based upon numerous assumptions including: the
nature and timing of interest rate levels including yield curve shape,
prepayments on loans and securities, deposit decay rates, pricing decisions on
loans and deposits, reinvestment/replacement of assets and liability cashflows,
and others. While assumptions are developed based upon current economic and
local market conditions, the Company cannot make any assurances as to the
predictive nature of these assumptions including how customer preferences or
competitor influences might change.

Also, as market conditions vary from those assumed in the sensitivity analysis,
actual results will also differ due to: prepayment/refinancing levels likely
deviating from those assumed, the varying impact of interest rate change caps or
floors on adjustable rate assets, the potential effect of changing debt service
levels on customers with adjustable rate loans, depositor early withdrawals and
product preference changes, and other internal/external variables. Furthermore,
the sensitivity analysis does not reflect actions that ALCO might take in
responding to or anticipating changes in interest rates.
