(FLOW CHART)
3)   Ratios
 
    Returns on average assets and average equity were calculated based on daily averages.
 
4)   Dividends Declared
 
    On June 28, 2006, the Board of Directors declared a $.16 per share quarterly cash dividend payable on July 20, 2006 to stockholders of record on July 11, 2006.
 
5)   Computation of Earnings Per Share
 
    Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net earnings 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.
 
    The following schedule contains the data used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

There were approximately 484,725 and 297,448 average shares excluded from the six months ended diluted share calculation as of June 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 six months ended June 30, 2006, the compensation cost for the stock option plans was $1,684,000, with a corresponding income tax benefit of $500,000, resulting in a net earnings and cash flow from operations reduction of $1,184,000, or a decrease of $.036 per share for both basic and diluted earnings per share. For the three months ended June 30, 2006, the compensation cost for the stock option plans was $961,000, with a corresponding income tax benefit of $300,000, resulting in a net earnings and cash flow from operations reduction of $661,000, 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 $1,170,000 and $696,000 for the six and three months ended June 30, 2006, respectively. Total unrecognized compensation cost, net of income tax benefit, related to non-vested awards which are expected to be recognized over the next 1.2 years was $2,089,000 as of June 30, 2006. The total fair value of shares vested during the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 was $535,000 and $558,000, respectively. The total fair value of shares vested during the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 was $0 and $21,000, 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:

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.
Change in shares granted for stock options for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and the year ended December 31, 2005, are summarized as follows:

15)   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.

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.

Pending Acquisitions
On April 21, 2006, Glacier announced the signing of a definitive agreement to acquire Citizens Development Company in a transaction valued at approximately $77 million. Citizens is a Billings, Montana-based bank holding company that owns five community banks located throughout Montana, with principal banking offices in Billings, Lewiston, Hamilton, Columbia Falls and Chinook. At June 30, 2006, Citizens had total assets of $412 million, net loans of $308 million, total deposits of $349 million, and stockholders’ equity of $38 million. The acquisition of the Citizens banks will strengthen the Company’s presence in three of Montana’s strongest markets—Billings, the Flathead Valley, and the Bitterroot Valley, while expanding its operations in central Montana.
On May 31, 2006, Glacier announced the signing of a definitive agreement to acquire First National Bank of Morgan in a transaction valued at approximately $20 million. First National Bank of Morgan is a national banking association with its main office in Morgan, Utah and one branch office in Mountain Green, Utah. At June 30, 2006, First National Bank of Morgan had total assets of $75 million, net loans of $42 million, total deposits of $66 million, and stockholders’ equity of $9 million. The acquisition of First National Bank of Morgan will be the Company’s first whole-bank acquisition in Utah, expanding Glacier’s focused community bank strategy in Utah and complementing its two existing Utah branches.
The two pending acquisitions, which are subject to bank regulatory approval, are both presently expected to close in the later part of August, 2006. The transactions are expected to be immediately accretive to Glacier’s earnings per share. To fund the Citizens acquisition, the Company sold 900,000 shares of its common stock, to settle on August 9, 2006, at $30.50 per share, less underwriter discount, a firm underwritten offering conducted by D.A. Davidson & Co. D.A. Davidson has been granted a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 100,000 shares at the offering price to cover related over-allotments, if any. For additional acquisition funding, the Company expects to issue $30,000,000 in subordinated debentures with a cumulative fixed interest rate of 7.235% for the first five years and then converts to a three month LIBOR plus 1.57% rate. The Company expects to issue the subordinated debentures prior to August 22, 2006.

Total loans increased $547 million, or 25 percent, with internal loan growth of $435 million from June 30, 2005, with all loan categories showing increases. Including loans acquired, commercial loans increased the most, $271 million, or 22 percent, followed by real estate loans which increased $192 million, or 38 percent, which was the largest percentage gain, and consumer loans, which are primarily comprised of home equity loans, increasing by $84 million, or 19 percent.
Investment securities, including interest bearing deposits in other financial institutions, and federal funds sold have decreased $82 million from December 31, 2005, or 8 percent, and have declined $205 million, or 18 percent, from June 30, 2005. Investment securities at June 30, 2006 represented 23% of total assets versus 32% the prior year, which is a result of the continued use of investment cash flow to fund loan growth.

Non-interest bearing deposits have increased $53 million, or 8 percent, since December 31, 2005, and by $89 million, or 14 percent, since June 30, 2005. This low cost of funding continues to be a primary focus of each of our banks. Interest bearing deposits have increased $105 million from December 31, 2005, of which $22 million was in Internet generated National Market CD’s. Since June 30, 2005 interest bearing deposits have increased $395 million, or 25 percent, with $166 million of that amount from broker and Internet sources. Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) advances increased $34 million, and repurchase agreements and other borrowed funds decreased $4 million from December 31, 2005. FHLB advances are $368 million less than the June 30, 2005 balances due primarily to the above described increases in deposits and other funding sources including $158 million in U.S. Treasury Tax and Loan Term Auction funds.
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 June 30, 2006, the Company had $874 million of available FHLB borrowing line of which $436 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.
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’s ratios compare favorably to the Federal Reserve Bank Peer Group average of .41 percent at March 31, 2006, the most recent information available. The allowance for loan losses was 461 percent of non-performing assets at June 30, 2006, up from 407 percent a year ago. The allowance, including $2.792 million from acquisitions, has increased $8.278 million, or 25 percent, from a year ago. The allowance of $41.195 million, is 1.52 percent of June 30, 2006 total loans outstanding, down slightly from the 1.53 percent a year ago. The second quarter provision for loan losses expense was $1.355 million, a decrease of $197 thousand from the same quarter in 2005. Net charge offs remain low at $11 thousand for the second quarter of 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 June 30, 2006 compared to the three months ended
June 30, 2005.
The company reported net quarterly earnings of $14.666 million, an increase of $1.6 million, or 12 percent, over the $13.090 million for the second quarter of 2005. Net quarterly earnings were reduced by $661,000, 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 $0.45 is an increase of 10 percent over the per share earnings of $0.41 for the same quarter of 2005. Excluding the affects of SFAS 123(R), diluted earnings per share would have been $0.47, or an increase of 15 percent over the prior year quarter. Annualized return on average assets and return on average equity for the quarter were 1.52 percent and 16.81 percent, respectively, which compares with prior year returns for the second quarter of 1.52 percent and 18.03 percent.

Net Interest Income
Net interest income for the quarter increased $5.539 million, or 17 percent, over the same period in 2005, and $1.318 million from the first quarter of 2006. Total interest income increased $13.388 million from the prior year’s quarter, or 29 percent, while total interest expense is $7.849 million, or increased 54 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 Federal Reserve Bank has increased the targeted fed funds rate 12 times, 300 basis points, since January 1, 2005. The tax equivalent net interest margin calculation has been changed to an actual 365 day base from a 360 day base. Previously reported net interest margins have been adjusted to reflect the change. The net interest margin as a percentage of earning assets for the quarter, on a tax equivalent basis, was 4.34 percent which was higher than the restated 4.14 percent result for the second quarter of 2005. The margin for the second quarter of 2006 decreased slightly from the first quarter of 2006 restated margin of 4.38 percent (4.32 originally reported), primarily a result of the continued increase in funding costs.
Non-interest Income
Fee income increased $1.499 million, or 19 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 $114 thousand, or 4 percent, from the second quarter of last year. Loan origination volume in our markets 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 continues to rise.

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 cost for benefits. The number of full-time-equivalent employees has increased from 1,057 to 1,171, an 11 percent increase, since June 30, 2005. Occupancy and equipment expense increased $279 thousand, or 9 percent, reflecting the bank acquisitions, cost of additional branch locations and facility upgrades. Other expenses increased $659 thousand, or 11 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.

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 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.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk
The Company believes that there have not been any material changes in information about the Company’s market risk than was provided in the Form 10-K report for the year ended December 31, 2005.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s current disclosure controls and procedures are effective and timely, providing them with material information relating to the Company required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act.
Changes in Internal Controls
There have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the second quarter 2006, to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.
