(1)	Basis of Presentation

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of First Interstate BancSystem, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) contain all adjustments (all of which are of a normal recurring nature) necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, and the results of operations for each of the three and six month periods ended and cash flows for each of the six month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The balance sheet information at December 31, 2013 is derived from audited consolidated financial statements. Certain reclassifications, none of which were material, have been made to conform prior year financial statements to the June 30, 2014 presentation.

These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014.

The investment portfolio is evaluated quarterly for other-than-temporary declines in the market value of each individual investment security. The Company had 106 and 229 individual investment securities that were in an unrealized loss position as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. Unrealized losses as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 related primarily to fluctuations in the current interest rates. The Company does not have the intent to sell any of the available-for-sale securities in the above table and it is not likely that the Company will have to sell any such securities before a recovery in cost. No impairment losses were recorded during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.

Maturities of investment securities at June 30, 2014 are shown below. Maturities of mortgage-backed securities have been adjusted to reflect shorter maturities based upon estimated prepayments of principal. All other investment securities maturities are shown at contractual maturity dates.

The amount of interest income recognized by the Company within the period that the loans were impaired was primarily related to loans modified in a troubled debt restructuring that remained on accrual status. Interest payments received on non-accrual impaired loans are applied to principal. Interest income is subsequently recognized only to the extent cash payments are received in excess of principal due. If interest on impaired loans had been accrued, interest income on impaired loans would have been approximately $1,301 and $1,577 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively and approximately $2,412 and $2,912 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Collateralized impaired loans are generally recorded at the fair value of the underlying collateral using discounted cash flows, independent appraisals and management estimates based upon current market conditions. For loans measured under the present value of cash flows method, the change in present value attributable to the passage of time, if applicable, is recognized in the provision for loan losses and thus no interest income is recognized.

Modifications of performing loans are made in the ordinary course of business and are completed on a case-by-case basis as negotiated with the borrower. Loan modifications typically include interest rate concessions, interest only periods of less than twelve months, short-term payment deferrals and extension of amortization periods to provide payment relief. A loan modification is considered a troubled debt restructuring if the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties and the Company, for economic or legal reasons, grants a concession to the borrower that it would not otherwise consider. Certain troubled debt restructurings are on non-accrual status at the time of restructuring and are typically returned to accrual status after considering the borrower's sustained repayment performance in accordance with the restructuring agreement for a period of at least six months and management is reasonably assured of future performance. If the troubled debt restructuring meets these performance criteria and the interest rate granted at the modification is equal to or greater than the rate that the Company was willing to accept at the time of the restructuring for a new loan with comparable risk, then the loan will return to performing status and the accrual of interest will resume.

The Company had loans renegotiated in troubled debt restructurings of $57,835 as of June 30, 2014, of which $34,304 were included in non-accrual loans and $23,531 were on accrual status. The Company had loans renegotiated in troubled debt restructurings of $59,792 as of December 31, 2013, of which $38,011 were included in non-accrual loans and $21,781 were on accrual status.

The following tables present information on the Company's troubled debt restructurings that occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2014:

(1) Other includes concessions that reduce or defer payments for a specified period of time and/or do not fit into other designated categories.

For troubled debt restructurings that were on non-accrual status or otherwise deemed impaired before the modification, a specific reserve may already be recorded. In periods subsequent to modification, the Company continues to evaluate all troubled debt restructurings for possible impairment and recognizes impairment through the allowance. Additionally these loans continue to work their way through the credit cycle through charge-off, pay-off or foreclosure. Financial effects of modifications of troubled debt restructurings may include principal loan forgiveness or other charge-offs directly related to the restructuring. The Company had no charge-offs directly related to modifying troubled debt restructurings during the three or six months ended June 30, 2014 or 2013.

The following table presents information on the Company's trouble debt restructurings during the previous 12 months for which there was a payment default during the periods indicated. The Company considers a payment default to occur on troubled debt restructurings when the loan is 90 days or more past due or was placed on non-accrual status after the modification.

At June 30, 2014, there were no material commitments to lend additional funds to borrowers whose existing loans have been renegotiated or are classified as non-accrual.

As part of the on-going and continuous monitoring of the credit quality of the Company’s loan portfolio, management tracks internally assigned risk classifications of loans. The Company adheres to a Uniform Classification System developed jointly by the various bank regulatory agencies to internally risk rate loans. The Uniform Classification System defines three broad categories of criticized assets, which the Company uses as credit quality indicators:

Other Assets Especially Mentioned — includes loans that exhibit weaknesses in financial condition, loan structure or documentation, which if not promptly corrected, may lead to the development of abnormal risk elements.

Substandard — includes loans that are inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the borrower. Although the primary source of repayment for a Substandard loan is not currently sufficient; collateral or other sources of repayment are sufficient to satisfy the debt. Continuance of a Substandard loan is not warranted unless positive steps are taken to improve the worthiness of the credit.

Doubtful — includes loans that exhibit pronounced weaknesses to a point where collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values, is highly questionable and improbable. Doubtful loans are required to be placed on non-accrual status and are assigned specific loss exposure.

The Company performs a quarterly assessment of the adequacy of its allowance for loan losses in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The methodology used to assess the adequacy is consistently applied to the Company's loan portfolio and consists of three elements: (1) specific valuation allowances based on probable losses on impaired loans; (2) historical valuation allowances based on loan loss experience for similar loans with similar characteristics and trends; and (3) general valuation allowances determined based on changes in the nature of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality, industry concentrations, delinquency trends, general economic conditions and other qualitative risk factors both internal and external to the Company.

Specific allowances are established for loans where management has determined that probability of a loss exists by analyzing the borrower’s ability to repay amounts owed, collateral deficiencies and any relevant qualitative or economic factors impacting the loan. Historical valuation allowances are determined by applying percentage loss factors to the credit exposures from outstanding loans. For commercial, agricultural and real estate loans, loss factors are applied based on the internal risk classifications of these loans. For consumer loans, loss factors are applied on a portfolio basis. For commercial, agriculture and real estate loans, loss factor percentages are based on a migration analysis of our historical loss experience, designed to account for credit deterioration. For consumer loans, loss factor percentages are based on a one-year loss history. General valuation allowances are determined by evaluating, on a quarterly basis, changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality, industry concentrations, current economic and regulatory conditions and the estimated impact of these factors on historical loss rates.

(8)	Regulatory Capital

The Company is subject to the regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking regulators and the Federal Reserve. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Company’s assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of total and tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets, and of tier 1 capital to average assets, as defined in the regulations. As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company exceeded all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.

Actual capital amounts and ratios and selected minimum regulatory thresholds for the Company and its bank subsidiary, First Interstate Bank (“FIB”), as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 are presented in the following tables:

(9)	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 is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition, results of operations or liquidity of the Company.

The Company had commitments under construction agreements of $1,409 as of June 30, 2014.


(10)	Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk

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. 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.

At June 30, 2014, commitments to extend credit to existing and new borrowers approximated $1,346,196, which included $447,827 on unused credit card lines and $334,981 with commitment maturities beyond one year.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. At June 30, 2014, the Company had outstanding standby letters of credit of $65,133. The estimated fair value of the obligation undertaken by the Company in issuing the standby letters of credit is included in other liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.

There were no changes in valuation methodologies or transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy during the six months ended June 30, 2014 or 2013.

The methodologies used by the Company in determining the fair values of each class of financial instruments are based primarily on the use of independent, market-based data to reflect a value that would be reasonably expected in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company obtains fair value measurements for investment securities from an independent pricing service and evaluates mortgage servicing rights for impairment using an independent valuation service. The vendors chosen by the Company are widely recognized vendors whose evaluations support the pricing functions of financial institutions, investment and mutual funds, and portfolio managers. The Company has documented and evaluated the pricing methodologies used by the vendors and maintains internal processes that regularly test valuations. These internal processes include obtaining and reviewing available reports on internal controls, evaluating the prices for reasonableness given market changes, obtaining and evaluating the inputs used in the model for a sample of securities, investigating anomalies and confirming determinations through discussions with the vendor. For investment securities, if needed, a broker may be utilized to determine the reported fair value. Further details on the methods used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments above are discussed below.

Investment Securities Available-for-Sale. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information and the investment's terms and conditions, among other things.

Mortgage Servicing Rights. Mortgage servicing rights are initially recorded at fair value based on comparable market quotes and are amortized in proportion to and over the period of estimated net servicing income. Mortgage servicing rights are evaluated quarterly for impairment using an independent valuation service. The valuation service utilizes discounted cash flow modeling techniques, which consider observable data that includes market consensus prepayment speeds and the predominant risk characteristics of the underlying loans including loan type, note rate and loan term. Management believes the significant inputs utilized in the valuation model are observable in the market.

Additionally, from time to time, certain assets are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. Adjustments to fair value generally result from the application of lower-of-cost-or-market accounting or write-downs of individual assets due to impairment.

Impaired Loans. Collateralized impaired loans are reported at the fair value of the underlying collateral if repayment is expected solely from collateral. The impaired loans are reported at fair value through specific valuation allowance allocations. In addition, when it is determined that the fair value of an impaired loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan, the carrying value of the loan is adjusted to fair value through a charge to the allowance for loan losses. Collateral values are estimated using independent appraisals and management estimates of current market conditions. As of June 30, 2014, certain impaired loans with a carrying value of $63,149 were reduced by specific valuation allowance allocations of $6,952 and partial loan charge-offs of $9,692 resulting in a reported fair value of $46,505. As of December 31, 2013, certain impaired loans with a carrying value of $80,526 were reduced by specific valuation allowance allocations of $8,929 and partial loan charge-offs of $14,295 resulting in a reported fair value of $57,302.

OREO.The fair values of OREO are estimated using independent appraisals and management estimates of current market conditions. Upon initial recognition, write-downs based on the foreclosed asset's fair value at foreclosure are reported through charges to the allowance for loan losses. Periodically, the fair value of foreclosed assets is remeasured with any subsequent write-downs charged to OREO expense in the period in which they are identified. Write-downs of $10 during the six months ended June 30, 2014 were based on management's estimate of the current fair value of the properties. Write-downs of $2,564 during the six months ended June 30, 2013, included $196 directly related to receipt of updated appraisals and $2,368 based on management estimates of the current fair value of properties.

Long-lived Assets to be Disposed of by Sale. Long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale are carried at the lower of carrying value or fair value less estimated costs to sell. The fair values of long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale are based upon observable market data and management estimates of current market conditions. As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale with a carrying value of $1,785 that was reduced by write-downs of $599 resulting in a fair value of $1,186.

In addition, mortgage loans held for sale are required to be measured at the lower of cost or fair value. The fair value of mortgage loans held for sale is based upon binding contracts or quotes or bids from third party investors. As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, all mortgage loans held for sale were recorded at cost.

The Company is required to disclose the fair value of financial instruments for which it is practical to estimate fair value. The methodologies for estimating the fair value of financial instruments that are measured at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis are discussed above. The methodologies for estimating the fair value of other financial instruments are discussed below. For financial instruments bearing a variable interest rate where no credit risk exists, it is presumed that recorded book values are reasonable estimates of fair value.

(Dollars in thousands, except share and per share data)

Financial Assets. Carrying values of cash, cash equivalents and accrued interest receivable approximate fair values due to the liquid and/or short-term nature of these instruments. Fair values for investment securities held-to-maturity are obtained from an independent pricing service, which considers observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information and the investment’s terms and conditions, among other things. Fair values of fixed rate loans and variable rate loans that reprice on an infrequent basis are estimated by discounting future cash flows using current interest rates at which similar loans with similar terms would be made to borrowers of similar credit quality. Carrying values of variable rate loans that reprice frequently, and with no change in credit risk, approximate the fair values of these instruments.

Financial Liabilities. The fair values of demand deposits, savings accounts, securities sold under repurchase agreements and accrued interest payable are the amounts payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair values of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit are estimated using external market rates currently offered for deposits with similar remaining maturities. The carrying values of the interest bearing demand notes to the United States Treasury are deemed an approximation of fair values due to the frequent repayment and repricing at market rates. The fixed and floating rate subordinated debentures, floating rate subordinated term loan, notes payable to the FHLB, fixed rate subordinated term debt, and capital lease obligation are estimated by discounting future cash flows using current rates for advances with similar characteristics.

Commitments to Extend Credit and Standby Letters of Credit. The fair value of commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit, based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, is not significant.

The estimated fair values of financial instruments that are reported in the Company's consolidated balance sheets, segregated by the level of the valuation inputs within the fair value hierarchy utilized to measure fair value, are as follows:

(16)	Recent Authoritative Accounting Guidance

ASU 2014-01 “Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Accounting for Investments in Qualified Affordable Housing Projects.” The amendments in ASU 2014-01 permit reporting entities to make an accounting policy election to account for their investments in qualified affordable housing projects using the proportional amortization method if certain conditions are met. The evaluation of whether conditions have been met to apply the proportional amortization method is conducted at the time of initial investment and subsequently reevaluated if there is a change in the nature of the investment or a change in the relationship with the limited liability entity that could result in the conditions no longer being met. The decision to apply the proportional amortization method of accounting should be applied consistently to all qualifying affordable housing project investments rather than on an individual investment basis. Under the proportional amortization method, an entity amortizes the initial cost of the investment in proportion to the tax credits and other tax benefits received and recognizes the net investment performance in the income statement as a component of income tax expense or benefit. The amendments in ASU 2014-01 are effective for the Company for annual reporting periods and interim reporting periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2014, with early adoption permitted.

The Company adopted the amendments in ASU 2014-01 effective January 1, 2014. As of June 30, 2014, the Company had two investments in qualified affordable housing projects with an aggregate carrying value of $4,656 included in other assets on the Company's balance sheet. The Company elected to account for these investments using the proportional amortization method. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, income tax benefits associated with these projects of $7 and $14 were recognized as a component of income tax expense. The Company has commitments to invest additional amounts in these projects of $260 in 2014, $5,604 in 2015, $32 annually in 2016 through 2021, and $21 annually in 2022 and 2023.

ASU 2014-04 “Receivables-Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors (Subtopic 310-40): Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure.” The amendments in ASU 2014-04 clarify that an in-substance repossession or foreclosures occurs, and a creditor is considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan, upon either (i) the creditor obtaining legal title to the residential real estate property upon completion of a foreclosure or (ii) the borrower conveying all interest in the residential real estate property to the creditor to satisfy the loan through completion of a deed in lieu of foreclosures or through a similar legal agreement. The amendments in ASU 2014-04 also require interim and annual disclosure of both (i) the amount of foreclosed residential real estate property held by the creditor and (ii) the recorded investment in consumer mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate property that are in the process of foreclosure. The amendments in ASU 2014-04 are effective for the Company for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2014 using either a modified retrospective transition method or a prospective transition method. The Company does not expect the amendments in ASU 2014-04 to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, results of operations or liquidity.

ASU 2014-09 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers." The amendments in ASU 2014-09 introduce a new five-step revenue recognition model in which an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 also requires disclosures sufficient to enable users to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers, including qualitative and quantitative disclosures about contracts with customers, significant judgments and changes in judgments, and assets recognized from the costs to obtain or fulfill a contract. The amendments in ASU 2014-09 are effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period, and may be adopted retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initial adoption recognized at the date of initial application. The Company is currently evaluating the new guidance to determine the impact it will have on its consolidated financial statements, results of operations or liquidity.

ASU 2014-11 "Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures." The amendments in ASU 2014-11 expand secured borrowing treatment for certain repurchase agreements. Under the amendments in ASU 2014-11, repurchase-to-maturity transactions and repurchase agreements executed as repurchase financing transactions are required to be accounted for as secured borrowings. ASU 2014-11 requires additional

(Dollars in thousands, except share and per share data)

disclosures about certain transactions accounted for as a sale in which the transferor retains substantially all of the exposure to the economic return on the transferred financial assets through an agreement with the same counterparty. ASU 2014-11 also requires disclosure of the types of collateral pledged and liabilities associated with an entity's repurchase agreements, securities lending transactions and repurchase-to-maturity transactions accounted for as secured borrowings. The accounting changes included in the amendments in ASU 2014-11 are effective for the Company on January 1, 2015. The disclosure requirements set forth in the amendment in ASU 2014-11 are effective for the Company for interim and annual periods beginning after December 31, 2014. The Company does not expect the amendments in ASU 2014-11 to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, results of operations or liquidity.


(17)	Subsequent Events

Subsequent events have been evaluated for potential recognition and disclosure through the date financial statements were filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. On July 24, 2014, the Company declared a quarterly dividend to common shareholders of $0.16 per share, to be paid on August 15, 2014 to shareholders of record as of August 5, 2014.

On July 31, 2014, the Company completed the acquisition of Mountain West. Consideration for the acquisition consisted of cash of $38,479 and 1,378,230 shares of the Company's Class A common stock.

Executive Overview

We are a financial holding company headquartered in Billings, Montana. As of June 30, 2014, we had consolidated assets of $7,651 million, deposits of $6,179 million, loans of $4,506 million and total stockholders’ equity of $839 million. We currently operate 74 banking offices, including detached drive-up facilities, in 41 communities located in Montana, Wyoming and western South Dakota. Through the our bank subsidiary, First Interstate Bank or the Bank, we deliver a comprehensive range of banking products and services to individuals, businesses, municipalities and other entities throughout our market areas. Our customers participate in a wide variety of industries, including energy, tourism, agriculture, healthcare, professional services, education, governmental services, construction, mining, retail and wholesale trade.

Table of Contents

Our Business

Our principal business activity is lending to and accepting deposits from individuals, businesses, municipalities and other entities. We derive our income principally from interest charged on loans and, to a lesser extent, from interest and dividends earned on investments. We also derive income from non-interest sources such as fees received in connection with various lending and deposit services; trust, employee benefit, investment and insurance services; mortgage loan originations, sales and servicing; merchant and electronic banking services; and from time to time, gains on sales of assets. Our principal expenses include interest expense on deposits and borrowings, operating expenses, provisions for loan losses and income tax expense.

Our loan portfolio consists of a mix of real estate, consumer, commercial, agricultural and other loans, including fixed and variable rate loans. Our real estate loans comprise commercial real estate, construction (including residential, commercial and land development loans), residential, agricultural and other real estate loans. Fluctuations in the loan portfolio are directly related to the economies of the communities we serve. While each loan originated generally must meet minimum underwriting standards established in our credit policies, lending officers are granted discretion within pre-approved limits in approving and pricing loans to assure that the banking offices are responsive to competitive issues and community needs in each market area. We fund our loan portfolio primarily with the core deposits from our customers, generally without utilizing brokered deposits and with minimal reliance on wholesale funding sources.

Recent Developments

On February 10, 2014, we entered into an agreement and plan of merger to acquire all of the outstanding stock of Mountain West Financial Corp ("Mountain West"), a Montana-based bank holding company that operates one wholly-owned subsidiary bank, Mountain West Bank, NA, with branches located in five of our current market areas in Montana.

Under the terms of the agreement and plan of merger, each outstanding share of Mountain West common stock will be canceled and converted into the right to receive 0.2552 shares of our Class A common stock plus $7.125 in cash, or, if a Mountain West stockholder properly elects and subject to the limitations contained within the agreement and plan of merger, an amount in all cash or all stock intended to be substantially equal in value to the above described combination of stock and cash merger consideration. The merger is expected to be completed after the close of business on July 31, 2014. Consideration for the acquisition is expected to consist of cash of approximately $38,479, subject to adjustments for shareholders electing to receive all cash, and approximately 1,378,230 shares of the Company's Class A common stock. Subject to regulatory approval, the Company anticipates Mountain West Bank, NA will be merged with and into First Interstate Bank on October 18, 2014.

For additional information regarding the plan of merger, see “Note 14 – Acquisitions” in the accompanying “Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements” included in this report.

Primary Factors Used in Evaluating Our Business

As a banking institution, we manage and evaluate various aspects of both our financial condition and our results of operations. We monitor our financial condition and performance on a monthly basis at our holding company, at the Bank and at each banking office. We evaluate the levels and trends of the line items included in our balance sheet and statements of income, as well as various financial ratios that are commonly used in our industry. We analyze these ratios and financial trends against both our own historical levels and the financial condition and performance of comparable banking institutions in our region and nationally.

Results of Operations

Principal factors used in managing and evaluating our results of operations include return on average assets, net interest income, non-interest income, non-interest expense and net income. Net interest income is affected by the level of interest rates, changes in interest rates and changes in the volume and composition of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities. The most significant impact on our net interest income between periods is derived from the interaction of changes in the rates earned or paid on interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities, which we refer to as interest rate spread. The volume of loans, investment securities and other interest earning assets, compared to the volume of interest bearing deposits and indebtedness, combined with the interest rate spread, produces changes in our net interest income between periods. Non-interest bearing sources of funds, such as demand deposits and stockholders’ equity, also support earning assets. The impact of free funding sources is captured in the net interest margin, which is calculated as net interest income divided by average earning assets. We evaluate our net interest income on factors that include the yields on our loans and other earning assets, the costs of our deposits and other funding sources, the levels of our net interest spread and net interest margin and the provisions for loan losses required to maintain our allowance for loan losses at an adequate level.

Table of Contents

We evaluate our non-interest income relative to the trends of the individual types of non-interest income and seek to increase our non-interest income over time.

We manage our non-interest expenses in consideration of growth opportunities and our community banking model that emphasizes customer service and responsiveness. We evaluate our non-interest expense on factors that include our non-interest expense relative to our average assets, our efficiency ratio and the trends of the individual categories of non-interest expense.

Finally, we seek to increase our net income and provide favorable shareholder returns over time, and we evaluate our net income relative to the performance of other bank holding companies on factors that include return on average assets, return on average equity, total shareholder return and growth in earnings.

Financial Condition

Principal areas of focus in managing and evaluating our financial condition include liquidity, the diversification and quality of our loans, the adequacy of our allowance for loan losses, the diversification and terms of our deposits and other funding sources, the re-pricing characteristics and maturities of our assets and liabilities, including potential interest rate exposure and the adequacy of our capital levels. We seek to maintain sufficient levels of cash and investment securities to meet potential payment and funding obligations, and we evaluate our liquidity on factors that include the levels of cash and highly liquid assets relative to our liabilities, the quality and maturities of our investment securities, the ratio of loans to deposits and any reliance on brokered certificates of deposit or other wholesale funding sources.

We seek to grow a diverse and high quality loan portfolio and evaluate our asset quality on factors that include the allocation of our loans among loan types, credit exposure to any single borrower or industry type, non-performing assets as a percentage of total loans and other real estate owned, or OREO, and loan charge-offs as a percentage of average loans. We maintain our allowance for loan losses at a level adequate to absorb probable losses inherent in our loan portfolio at each balance sheet date, and we evaluate the level of our allowance for loan losses relative to our overall loan portfolio, the levels of non-performing, criticized and classified loans and potential charge-offs.

We fund our assets primarily using core customer deposits spread among various deposit categories, and we evaluate our deposit and funding mix on factors that include the allocation of our deposits among deposit types, the level of our non-interest bearing deposits, the ratio of our core deposits to our total deposits and our reliance on brokered deposits or other wholesale funding sources, such as borrowings from other banks or agencies. We manage the mix, maturities and re-pricing characteristics of our assets and liabilities to maintain relative stability of our net interest rate margin in a changing interest rate environment, and we evaluate our asset-liability management using models to evaluate the changes to our net interest income under different interest rate scenarios.

Additionally, we maintain adequate capital levels to absorb unforeseen operating losses and to help support the growth of our balance sheet. We evaluate our capital adequacy using the regulatory and financial capital ratios including leverage capital ratio, tier 1 risk-based capital ratio, total risk-based capital ratio, tangible common equity to tangible assets and tier 1 common capital to total risk-weighted assets.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Significant Accounting Policies

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and follow general practices within the industries in which we operate. Application of these principles requires management to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The most significant accounting policies we follow are summarized in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Our critical accounting estimates are summarized below. Management considers an accounting estimate to be critical if: (1) the accounting estimate requires management to make particularly difficult, subjective and/or complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain and (2) changes in the estimate that are reasonably likely to occur from period to period, or the use of different estimates that management could have reasonably used in the current period, would have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements, results of operations or liquidity.

Table of Contents

Allowance for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses creates an allowance for loan losses known and inherent in the loan portfolio at each balance sheet date. The allowance for loan losses represents management’s estimate of probable credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio.

We perform a quarterly assessment of the risks inherent in our loan portfolio, as well as a detailed review of each significant loan with identified weaknesses. Based on this analysis, we record a provision for loan losses in order to maintain the allowance for loan losses at appropriate levels. In determining the allowance for loan losses, we estimate losses on specific loans, or groups of loans, where the probable loss can be identified and reasonably determined. Determining the amount of the allowance for loan losses is considered a critical accounting estimate because it requires significant judgment and the use of subjective measurements, including management’s assessment of the internal risk classifications of loans, historical loan loss rates, changes in the nature of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality, industry concentrations, delinquency trends 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 possible and may have a material impact on our allowance, and therefore our consolidated financial statements or results of operations. The allowance for loan losses is maintained at an amount we believe is sufficient to provide for estimated losses inherent in our loan portfolio at each balance sheet date, and fluctuations in the provision for loan losses result from management’s assessment of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. Management monitors qualitative and quantitative trends in the loan portfolio, including changes in the levels of past due, internally classified and non-performing loans. Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 describes the methodology used to determine the allowance for loan losses. A discussion of the factors driving changes in the amount of the allowance for loan losses is included herein under the heading “Asset Quality."

Goodwill

The excess purchase price over the fair value of net assets from acquisitions, or goodwill, is evaluated for impairment at least annually and on an interim basis if an event or circumstance indicates that it is likely impairment has occurred. In any given year, the Company may elect to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is in excess of its carrying value. If it is not more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is in excess of the carrying value, or if the Company elects to bypass the qualitative assessment, a two-step quantitative impairment test is performed. In performing a quantitative test for impairment, the fair value of net assets is estimated based on an analysis of our market value, discounted cash flows and peer values. Determining the fair value of goodwill is considered a critical accounting estimate because of its sensitivity to market-based economics. In addition, any allocation of the fair value of goodwill to assets and liabilities requires significant management judgment and the use of subjective measurements. Variability in market conditions and key assumptions or subjective measurements used to estimate and allocate fair value are reasonably possible and could have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or results of operations. Note 1 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 describes our accounting policy with regard to goodwill.

Our annual evaluation of goodwill for impairment is performed as of July 1st each year. Upon completion of the most recent evaluation, it was determined that the estimated fair value of net assets was greater than the carrying value of the Company. We will continue to monitor our performance and evaluate our goodwill for impairment annually or more frequently as needed.

Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis is intended to provide greater details of the results of our operations and financial condition.

Net Interest Income. During second quarter 2014, our net interest income on a fully-taxable equivalent, or FTE, basis increased $927 thousand, or 1.5%, to $60.8 million, as compared to $59.9 million during the same period in 2013, and our net FTE interest margin ratio decreased 2 basis points to 3.54%, as compared to 3.56%. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, our net FTE interest income decreased $235 thousand, or less than 1%, to $120.0 million, as compared to $120.3 million for the same period in 2013, and our net FTE interest margin ratio decreased 2 basis points to 3.53%, as compared to 3.55%. Declines in yields earned on our loan and investment portfolios during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to the same periods in 2013, were offset by increases in average outstanding loans, reductions in the cost of interest bearing liabilities and lower average outstanding time deposits.

We recorded recoveries of previously charged-off interest of $1.4 million and $1.9 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, as compared to $532 thousand and $762 thousand during the same respective periods in 2013. Exclusive of the recovery of previously charged-off interest, our net interest margin ratio would have been 3.46% and 3.48% during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, as compared to 3.55% and 3.53% during the same respective periods in 2013.

Provision for Loan Losses. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, we reversed provision for loan losses of $2.0 million and $7.0 million, respectively. This compares to recording provisions for loan losses of $375 thousand and $875 thousand during the same respective periods in 2013. The reversal of provision for loan losses during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, was primarily due to the combined impact of reductions in specific reserves on impaired loans and lower general reserves reflective of improvement in economic conditions in our market areas, improvement in loss history trends used to estimate required reserves and decreases in the level of criticized real estate and construction loans, which typically require higher reserves based on loss history. For information regarding our non-performing loans, see “Non-Performing Assets” included herein.

Non-interest Income. Our principal sources of non-interest income include other service charges, commissions and fees; income from the origination and sale of loans; wealth management revenues; and, service charges on deposit accounts. Non-interest income decreased $3.0 million, or 10.2%, to $26.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to $29.6 million for the same period in 2013, and decreased $7.7 million, or 13.2%, to $50.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to $58.4 million for the same period in 2013. Significant components of the decreases are discussed below.

Other service charges, commissions and fees primarily include debit and credit card interchange income, mortgage loan servicing fee income, insurance and other commissions and ATM service charge revenues. Other service charges, commissions and fees increased $722 thousand, or 8.0%, to $9.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to $9.0 million for the same period in 2013, and increased $1.6 million, or 9.4%, to $18.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to $17.2 million during the same period in 2013. These increases were primarily due to increases in interchange revenue due to higher debit and credit card transaction volumes and increases in mortgage loan servicing fee income resulting from an increase in the number of loans serviced.

Income from the origination and sale of loans decreased $3.7 million, or 36.5%, to $6.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $10.0 million during the same period in 2013. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, income from the origination and sale of loans decreased $9.7 million, or 46.7%, to $11.0 million, as compared to $20.7 million for the same period in 2013. These decreases are primarily the result of lower demand for refinancing loans in our market areas. Our total mortgage loans production decreased approximately 36% during the six months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to the same period in 2013, with loans originated for home purchases accounting for approximately 73% of our mortgage loan production, as compared to approximately 43% during the same period in 2013.

Table of Contents

Wealth management revenues are comprised principally of fees earned for management of trust assets and investment services revenues. Fees earned for management of trust assets are generally based on the market value of assets managed. Wealth management revenues increased $589 thousand, or 14.7%, to $4.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to $4.0 million during the same period in 2013, and increased $910 thousand, or 11.2%, to $9.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to $8.2 million for the same period in 2013. These increases are due to the combined effects of the addition of new wealth management customers and increases in the market values of new and existing assets under trust management.

Other income decreased $291 thousand, or 13.1%, to $1.9 million during the three months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to $2.2 million during the same period in 2013, and decreased $80 thousand, or 2.0%, to $3.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to $3.9 million during the same period in 2013, primarily due to decreases in earnings on securities held under deferred compensation plans and decreases in death benefits received under the Company's life insurance policies. These decreases were largely offset by the income earned on $60.0 million of life insurance purchased during the fourth quarter of 2013 and first quarter 2014.

Non-interest Expense. Non-interest expense increased $900 thousand, or 1.6%, to $55.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to $55.0 million for the same period in 2013, and decreased $1.4 million, or 1.3% to $110.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to $111.7 million for the same period in 2013. Significant components of these variances are discussed below.

Salaries and wages increased $905 thousand, or 3.8%, to $24.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to $23.5 million during the same period in 2013, primarily due to inflationary wage increases and higher incentive compensation accruals. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, salaries and wages expense decreased $95 thousand, or less than 1.0%, to $46.9 million, as compared to $47.0 million for the same period in 2013. During the first six months of 2014, as compared to the same period in 2013, inflationary increases in salaries expense was more than offset by lower incentive bonus accruals and increases in deferred loan origination costs.

Employee benefits expense decreased $382 thousand, or 5.1%, to $7.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to $7.5 million during the same period in 2013, and decreased $244 thousand, or 1.6%, to $15.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to $15.7 million during the same period in 2013. These decreases were primarily the result of decreases in earnings on securities held under deferred compensation plans.

Variations in net OREO income or expense between periods are primarily due to fluctuations in write-downs of the estimated fair values of OREO properties, net gains and losses recorded on OREO sales and carrying costs and/or operating expense of OREO properties. During the three months ended June 30, 2014, net OREO income decreased $781 thousand, or 85.4%, to $134 thousand, compared to $915 thousand during the same period in 2013, primarily due to lower gains recognized on the sale of OREO properties and lower net operating expenses. During the three months ended June 30, 2014, we recorded net OREO expense of $187 thousand, fair value write-downs of $10 thousand and net gains on the sale of OREO properties of $331 thousand. This compares to net OREO expense of $676 thousand, fair value write-downs of $259 thousand and net gains on the sale of OREO properties of $1.9 million recorded during the same period in 2013.

The Company recorded net OREO income of $153 thousand during the six months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to net OREO expense of $981 thousand recorded during the same period in 2013. The shift from net OREO expense during the first six months of 2013 to net OREO income during the first six months of 2014 was primarily due to decreases in fair value write-downs and lower net operating expenses associated with OREO properties. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, net OREO income included $603 thousand of net operating expenses, $10 thousand of fair value write-downs, and net gains on the sale of properties of $766 thousand. This compares to $1.1 million of net operating expenses, fair value write-downs of $2.6 million and net gains of $2.7 million recorded during the same period in 2013.

FDIC insurance premiums decreased $263 thousand, or 19.4%, to $1.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to $1.4 million for the same period in 2013, and decreased $524 thousand, or 19.2%, to $2.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to $2.7 million for the same period in 2013. These decreases were due to lower assessment rates reflective of improved credit quality.

During second quarter 2014, we recorded $597 thousand of non-core acquisition expense related to our pending acquisition of Mountain West. These acquisition-related expenses primarily include legal and professional fees and travel expenses. For additional information regarding the pending acquisition, see "Recent Developments" included herein and “Note 14 – Acquisitions” and "Note 17 - Subsequent Events" in the accompanying “Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements” included in this report.

Other expense decreased $1.0 million, or 8.8%, to $10.8 million during the three months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to $11.9 million during the same period in 2013, and decreased $862 thousand, or 3.9%, to $21.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to $22.2 million for the same period in 2013. During second quarter 2013, we recorded a $616 thousand write-down of the carrying values of long lived assets pending disposal. The remaining decreases in other expenses during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to the same periods in 2013, were primarily due to decreases in advertising expense resulting from fluctuations in the timing of advertising campaigns.

Income Tax Expense. Our effective federal income tax rate was 30.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 30.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2013. State income tax applies primarily to pretax earnings generated within Montana and South Dakota. Our effective state tax rate was 4.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 4.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2013.

Financial Condition

Total assets increased $87 million, or 1.1%, to $7,651 million as of June 30, 2014, from $7,565 million as of December 31, 2013. Significant components of the increase are discussed below.

Loans. Total loans increased $162 million, or 3.7%, to $4,506 million as of June 30, 2014, from $4,345 million as of December 31, 2013, with most loan categories showing growth.

Continuing business expansion in our existing market areas resulted in increases in commercial, commercial real estate and commercial construction loans as of June 30, 2014, as compared to December 31, 2013. The most notable growth occurred in commercial loans, which increased $51 million, or 7.5%, to $727 million as of June 30, 2014, from $677 million as of December 31, 2013. Commercial real estate loans increased $16 million , or 1.1%, to $1,465 million as of June 30, 2014, from $1,449 million as of December 31, 2013, and commercial construction loans increased $17 million, or 25.1%, to $87 million as of June 30, 2014, from $69 million as of December 31, 2013.

Consumer loans increased $35 million, or 5.3%, to $707 million as of June 30, 2014, from $672 million as of December 31, 2013, primarily due to growth in indirect consumer loans. Indirect consumer loans increased $36 million, or 7.6%, to $512 million as of June 30, 2014, from $476 million as of December 31, 2013, due to continued expansion of our indirect lending program within our existing markets and increases in the average loan amounts advanced.

Residential real estate loans increased $27 million, or 3.1%, to $895 million as of June 30, 2014, from $868 million as of December 31, 2013, primarily due to increased origination of five to fifteen year adjustable rate and conventional 1-4 family residential real estate loans not meeting the requirements for sale on the secondary market. During the first half of 2014, substantially all of the Company's conforming residential loan production was sold to investors in the secondary market.

Agricultural loans increased $18 million, or 16.5%, to $130 million as of June 30, 2014, from $112 million as of December 31, 2013, due to seasonal increases in credit lines that typically occur during the second and third quarters of the year.

Agricultural real estate loans decreased $11 million, or 6.4%, to $163 million as of June 30, 2014, from $174 million as of December 31, 2013, primarily due to first quarter 2014 scheduled repayments of the loans of one borrower.

Non-performing Assets. Non-performing assets include non-accrual loans, loans contractually past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest and OREO. The following table sets forth information regarding non-performing assets as of the dates indicated:

Non-performing loans. Non-performing loans include non-accrual loans and loans contractually past due 90 days or more. We monitor and evaluate collateral values on non-performing loans quarterly. Appraisals are required on all non-performing loans every 18-24 months, or sooner as conditions necessitate. We monitor real estate values by market for our larger market areas. Based on trends in real estate values, adjustments may be made to the appraised value based on time elapsed between the appraisal date and the impairment analysis or a new appraisal may be ordered. Appraised values in our smaller market areas may be adjusted based on trends identified through discussions with local realtors and appraisers. Appraisals are also adjusted for selling costs. The adjusted appraised value is then compared to the loan balance and any resulting shortfall is recorded in the allowance for loan losses as a specific valuation allowance. Overall increases in specific valuation allowances will result in higher provisions for loan losses. Provisions for loan losses are also impacted by changes in the historical or general valuation elements of the allowance for loan losses as well.

The following table sets forth the allocation of our non-performing loans among our various loan categories as of the dates indicated:

Non-accrual loans. We generally place loans on non-accrual when they become 90 days past due, unless they are well secured and in the process of collection. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, any interest previously accrued but not collected is reversed from income. If all loans on non-accrual had been current in accordance with their original terms, gross income of approximately $2.2 million and $2.7 million would have been accrued for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Non-accrual loans, the largest component of non-performing loans, decreased $15 million, or 16.2%, to $79 million as of June 30, 2014, from $94 million as of December 31, 2013, primarily due to pay-downs and the movement of non-accrual loans out of the loan portfolio through foreclosure or charge-off.

OREO. OREO consists of real property acquired through foreclosure on the collateral underlying defaulted loans. We initially record OREO at fair value less estimated selling costs. Any excess of loan carrying value over the fair value of the real estate acquired is recorded as a charge against the allowance for loan losses. Estimated losses that result from the ongoing periodic valuation of these properties are charged to earnings in the period in which they are identified. The fair values of OREO properties are estimated using appraisals and management estimates of current market conditions. OREO properties are appraised every 18-24 months unless deterioration in local market conditions indicates the need to obtain new appraisals sooner. OREO properties are evaluated by management quarterly to determine if additional write-downs are appropriate or necessary based on current market conditions. Quarterly evaluations include a review of the most recent appraisal of the property and reviews of recent appraisals and comparable sales data for similar properties in the same or adjacent market areas. Commercial and agricultural OREO properties are listed with unrelated third party professional real estate agents or brokers local to the areas where the marketed properties are located. Residential properties are typically listed with local realtors, after any redemption period has expired. We rely on these local real estate agents and/or brokers to list the properties on the local multiple listing system, to provide marketing materials and advertisements for the properties and to conduct open houses.

Table of Contents

OREO increased $921 thousand, or 5.9%, to $16 million as of June 30, 2014, from $15 million as of December 31, 2013. During the first six months of 2014, the Company had OREO additions of $4 million and sold OREO with a book value of $3 million at a net gain of $766 thousand. Approximately 69% of OREO additions during the first six months of 2014 relate to the properties of one commercial and one residential real estate borrower. As of June 30, 2014, the composition of OREO properties was 44% land and land development, 33% commercial and 23% residential real estate.

Allowance for Loan Losses. The Company performs a quarterly assessment of the adequacy of its allowance for loan losses in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The methodology used to assess the adequacy is consistently applied to the Company's loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses based on our evaluation of known and inherent risk in our loan portfolio at each balance sheet date. In determining the allowance for loan losses, we estimate losses on specific loans, or groups of loans, where the probable loss can be identified and reasonably determined. The balance of the allowance for loan losses is based on internally assigned risk classifications of loans, historical loan loss rates, changes in the nature of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality, industry concentrations, delinquency trends, current economic factors and the estimated impact of current economic conditions on certain historical loan loss rates. See the discussion under “Critical Accounting Estimates and Significant Accounting Policies — Allowance for Loan Losses” above.

The allowance for loan losses is increased by provisions charged against earnings and net recoveries of charged-off loans and is reduced by negative provisions credited to earnings and net loan charge-offs. The allowance for loan losses consists of three elements:

(1)

Specific valuation allowances associated with impaired loans. Specific valuation allowances are determined based on assessment of the fair value of the collateral underlying the loans as determined through independent appraisals, the present value of future cash flows, observable market prices and any relevant qualitative or environmental factors impacting the loan. No specific valuation allowances are recorded for impaired loans that are adequately secured.

(2)

Historical valuation allowances based on loan loss experience for similar loans with similar characteristics and trends. Historical valuation allowances are determined by applying percentage loss factors to the credit exposures from outstanding loans. For commercial, agricultural and real estate loans, loss factors are applied based on the internal risk classifications of these loans. For consumer loans, loss factors are applied on a portfolio basis. For commercial, agriculture and real estate loans, loss factor percentages are based on a migration analysis of our historical loss experience, designed to account for credit deterioration. For consumer loans, loss factor percentages are based on a one-year loss history.


(3)	General valuation allowances determined based on changes in the nature of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality, industry concentrations, delinquency trends, general economic conditions and other qualitative risk factors both internal and external to us.

Based on the assessment of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, management records provisions for loan losses to maintain the allowance for loan losses at appropriate levels.

Loans, or portions thereof, are charged-off against the allowance for loan losses when management believes that the collectability of the principal is unlikely, or, with respect to consumer installment loans, according to an established delinquency schedule. Generally, loans are charged-off when (1) there has been no material principal reduction within the previous 90 days and there is no pending sale of collateral or other assets, (2) there is no significant or pending event which will result in principal reduction within the upcoming 90 days, (3) it is clear that we will not be able to collect all or a portion of the loan, (4) payments on the loan are sporadic, will result in an excessive amortization or are not consistent with the collateral held and (5) foreclosure or repossession actions are pending. Loan charge-offs do not directly correspond with the receipt of independent appraisals or the use of observable market data if the collateral value is determined to be sufficient to repay the principal balance of the loan.

If the impaired loan is adequately collateralized, a specific valuation allowance is not recorded. As such, significant changes in impaired and non-performing loans do not necessarily correspond proportionally with changes in the specific valuation component of the allowance for loan losses. Additionally, management expects the timing of charge-offs will vary between quarters and will not necessarily correspond proportionally to changes in the allowance for loan losses or changes in non-performing or impaired loans due to timing differences among the initial identification of an impaired loan, recording of a specific valuation allowance for the impaired loan and any resulting charge-off of uncollectible principal.

Although we have established our allowance for loan losses in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and we believe that our allowance for loan losses was adequate to provide for known and inherent losses in the portfolio at all times, future provisions will be subject to on-going evaluations of the risks in the loan portfolio. If the economy declines or asset quality deteriorates, material additional provisions could be required.

Investment Securities. We manage our investment portfolio to obtain the highest yield possible, while meeting our risk tolerance and liquidity guidelines and satisfying the pledging requirements for deposits of state and political subdivisions and securities sold under repurchase agreements. Investment securities decreased $58 million, or 2.7%, to $2,094 million, or 27.4% of total assets, as of June 30, 2014, from $2,152 million, or 28.4% of total assets, as of December 31, 2013. As of June 30, 2014, the estimated duration of our investment portfolio was 3.1 years, as compared to 3.7 years as of December 31, 2013.

On June 27, 2014, we transferred available-for-sale U.S. agency mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations with amortized costs and fair value of $397 million and $389 million, respectively, into the held-to-maturity category. Net unrealized losses of $8 million included in accumulated other comprehensive income at the time of the transfer are being amortized to yield over the remaining expected lives of the transferred securities of 4.3 years.

We evaluate our investment portfolio quarterly for other-than-temporary declines in the market value of individual investment securities. This evaluation includes monitoring credit ratings; market, industry and corporate news; volatility in market prices; and, determining whether the market value of a security has been below its cost for an extended period of time. As of June 30, 2014, we had investment securities with fair values aggregating $586 million that had been in a continuous loss position more than twelve months. Gross unrealized losses on these securities of $9 million as of June 30, 2014, were attributable to changes in interest rates. No impairment losses were recorded during the three or six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.

Company-Owned Life Insurance. Company-owned life insurance increased $17 million, or 13.7%, to $139 million as of June 30, 2014, from $122 million as of December 31, 2013, due to the January 2014 purchase of $15 million of life insurance covering certain officers and directors of our bank subsidiary.

Deferred Tax Liability. As of June 30, 2014, we had a net deferred tax liability of $3 million, as compared to a net deferred tax asset of $12 million as of December 31, 2013. The shift in deferred taxes from a net asset to a net liability was primarily due to decreases in deferred tax assets related to unrealized losses on available-for sale investment securities. Contributing to the decrease in deferred tax assets related to unrealized losses on available-for-sale investment securities was the June 27, 2014 transfer of available-for-sale investment securities with unrealized losses of $8 million into the held-to-maturity category. In addition, the shift in the deferred taxes from a net asset to a net liability was also impacted by reductions in temporary timing differences associated with our allowance for loan losses and increases in deferred tax liabilities related to tax deductible goodwill.

Deposits. Our deposits consist of non-interest bearing and interest bearing demand, savings, individual retirement and time deposit accounts. Total deposits increased $45 million, or less than 1.0%, to $6,179 million as of June 30, 2014, from $6,134 million as of December 31, 2013. During the first six months of 2014, the mix of deposits continued to shift away from higher costing time deposits to lower costing demand and savings deposits, the result of a sustained low interest rate environment.

The following table summarizes our deposits as of the dates indicated:



Deposits
(Dollars in thousands)	June 30, 2014		Percent of Total		December 31, 2013		Percent of Total

2014 and $52 million as of December 31, 2013.

Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses. Accounts payable and accrued expenses decreased $5 million, or 10.2%, to $43 million as of June 30, 2014, from $48 million as of December 31, 2013, primarily due to decreases in our incentive bonus payable reflective of the payment of 2013 incentive bonuses during first quarter 2014.

Capital Resources and Liquidity Management

Stockholders’ equity is influenced primarily by earnings, dividends, changes in the unrealized holding gains or losses, net of taxes, on available-for-sale investment securities and sales and redemptions of common stock. Stockholders’ equity increased $37 million, or 4.6%, to $839 million as of June 30, 2014, from $802 million as of December 31, 2013, primarily due to the retention of earnings and decreases in unrealized losses on available-for-sale investment securities.

During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we paid aggregate cash dividends of $14.1 million, or $0.32 per share, to common stockholders, as compared to aggregate cash dividends of $5.6 million, or $0.13 per share, paid during six months ended June 30, 2013. During fourth quarter 2012, we declared and paid an accelerated aggregate quarterly cash dividend of $5.6 million, or $0.13 per share, to common shareholders in lieu of the quarterly dividend which would have been declared and paid in January 2013.

During the first six months of 2014, we repurchased and retired 325,418 of our shares of Class A common stock in a combination of privately negotiated and open market transactions at an aggregate purchase price of $8.1 million. The repurchases were made pursuant to a stock repurchase program approved by our Board of Directors. For additional information regarding the repurchase, see “Note 6 – Capital Stock” in the accompanying “Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements” included in this report.

Table of Contents

Pursuant to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act, the Federal Reserve and FDIC have adopted regulations setting forth a five-tier system for measuring the capital adequacy of the financial institutions they supervise. As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Bank had capital levels that, in all cases, exceeded the well-capitalized guidelines. As of June 30, 2014, we had consolidated leverage, tier 1 and total risk-based capital ratios of 10.35%, 15.02% and 16.69%, respectively, as compared to 10.08%, 14.93% and 16.75%, respectively, as of December 31, 2013. For additional information regarding our capital levels, see “Note 8 – Regulatory Capital” in the accompanying “Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements” included in this report.

Liquidity. Liquidity measures our ability to meet current and future cash flow needs on a timely basis and at a reasonable cost. We manage our liquidity position to meet the daily cash flow needs of customers, while maintaining an appropriate balance between assets and liabilities to meet the return on investment objectives of our shareholders. Our liquidity position is supported by management of liquid assets and liabilities and access to alternative sources of funds. Liquid assets include cash, interest bearing deposits in banks, federal funds sold, available-for-sale investment securities and maturing or prepaying balances in our held-to-maturity investment and loan portfolios. Liquid liabilities include core deposits, federal funds purchased, securities sold under repurchase agreements and borrowings. Other sources of liquidity include the sale of loans, the ability to acquire additional national market funds through non-core deposits, the issuance of additional collateralized borrowings such as FHLB advances, the issuance of debt securities, additional borrowings through the Federal Reserve’s discount window and the issuance of preferred or common securities.

Our short-term and long-term liquidity requirements are primarily to fund on-going operations, including payment of interest on deposits and debt, extensions of credit to borrowers, capital expenditures and shareholder dividends. These liquidity requirements are met primarily through cash flow from operations, redeployment of prepaying and maturing balances in our loan and investment portfolios, debt financing and increases in customer deposits. For additional information regarding our operating, investing and financing cash flows, see the unaudited “Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows,” included in Part I, Item 1.

As a holding company, we are a corporation separate and apart from the Bank and, therefore, we provide for our own liquidity. Our main sources of funding include management fees and dividends declared and paid by the Bank and access to capital markets. There are statutory, regulatory and debt covenant limitations that affect the ability of our subsidiary bank to pay dividends to us. Management believes that such limitations will not impact our ability to meet our ongoing short-term cash obligations.

Management continuously monitors our liquidity position and adjustments are made to the balance between sources and uses of funds as deemed appropriate. Our management is not aware of any events that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, capital resources or operations. In addition, our management is not aware of any regulatory recommendations regarding liquidity, which if implemented, would have a material adverse effect on us.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective disclosure controls and procedures, as defined under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act. As of June 30, 2014, an evaluation was performed, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of

Table of Contents

the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2014, were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods required by the SEC’s rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting for the quarter ended June 30, 2014, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, such control.

Limitations on Controls and Procedures

The effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal control over financial reporting is subject to various inherent limitations, including cost limitations, judgments used in decision making, assumptions about the likelihood of future events, the soundness of our systems, the possibility of human error, and the risk of fraud. Moreover, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions and the risk that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate over time. Because of these limitations, any system of disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting may not be successful in preventing all errors or fraud or in making all material information known in a timely manner to the appropriate levels of management.
