Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation:

The foregoing unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all of the disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements furnished herein include adjustments, all of which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented.

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities known to exist as of the date the financial statements are published, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Uncertainties with respect to such estimates and assumptions are inherent in the preparation of Intermountain Community Bancorp’s (“Intermountain’s” or “the Company’s”) consolidated financial statements; accordingly, it is possible that the actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions, which could have a material effect on the reported amounts of Intermountain’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.

2. Cash & Cash Equivalents:

The balances of the Company's cash and cash equivalents are as follows (in thousands):



	3/31/2014		12/31/2013
Unrestricted interest-bearing cash and cash equivalents	$	16,712	$	44,946
Unrestricted non interest-bearing and vault cash	$	10,122	$	7,851
Restricted non-interest bearing cash	$	10,747	$	12,333

At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, unrestricted interest bearing cash was deposited at the Federal Reserve ("FRB") and Federal Home Loan Bank of Seattle ("FHLB"). Unrestricted non-interest bearing cash includes overnight cash deposited at several of the Company's correspondent banks and balances kept in the vaults of its various offices. At March 31, 2014 restricted non-interest bearing cash consisted of the following:


•	At March 31, 2014, no reserve balance was required at the FRB; a $1.6 million reserve balance was required to meet FRB reserve requirements on December 31, 2013;


•	At both March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, $172,000 was pledged to various correspondent banks to secure interest rate swap transactions and foreign currency exchange lines;


•	At both March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, $1.1 million was held at the Company's subsidiary Bank to be used for future tenant improvements of the Sandpoint Center, as required by the agreement executed to sell the Sandpoint Center in 2009;

•

At both March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, $9.5 million was held at the Company's subsidiary Bank as required by an intercompany agreement signed by the Company and the Bank as part of the Company's January 2012 capital raise, which represents a pledge of funds to the Bank to partially secure the loan made by the Bank to the third party who bought and subsequently leased the Sandpoint Center back to the Bank.

Intermountain’s investment portfolios are managed to provide and maintain liquidity; to maintain a balance of high quality, diversified investments to minimize risk; to offset other asset portfolio elements in managing interest rate risk; to provide collateral for pledging; and to maximize returns. At March 31, 2014, the Company does not intend to sell any of its available-for-sale securities that have a loss position and it is not likely that it will be required to sell the available-for-sale securities before the anticipated recovery of their remaining amortized cost or maturity date. The unrealized losses on residential mortgage-backed securities without other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) were considered by management to be temporary in nature.

Table of Contents

The following table presents the OTTI losses for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013:



	2014				2013
	Held To Maturity		Available For Sale		Held To Maturity		Available For Sale
Total other-than-temporary impairment losses	$	—	$	—	$	—	$	—
Portion of other-than-temporary impairment losses transferred from other comprehensive income (1)	—		—		—		42
Net impairment losses recognized in earnings (2)	$	—	$	—	$	—	$	42


(1)	Represents other-than-temporary impairment losses related to all other factors.


(2)	Represents other-than-temporary impairment losses related to credit losses.

The OTTI recognized on investment securities available for sale in 2013 relates to one non-agency collateralized mortgage obligation, that was sold in the fourth quarter of 2013. This security held various levels of credit subordination. This security was valued by third-party pricing services using matrix or model pricing methodologies and were corroborated by broker indicative bids. We estimated the cash flows of the underlying collateral for this security considering credit, interest and prepayment risk models that incorporate management’s estimate of projected key assumptions including prepayment rates, collateral default rates and loss severity. Assumptions utilized vary from security to security, and are influenced by factors such as underlying loan interest rates, geographic location, borrower characteristics, vintage, and historical experience. We then used a third party to obtain information about the structure of the security, including subordination and other credit enhancements, in order to determine how the underlying collateral cash flows will be distributed to each security issued in the structure. These cash flows were then discounted at the interest rate equal to the yield anticipated at the time the security was purchased. We reviewed the actual collateral performance of this security on a quarterly basis and updated the inputs as appropriate to determine the projected cash flows.

On June 30, 2013, six securities with an amortized cost of $8,512,039 were transferred from the available-for-sale category to the held-to-maturity category of the portfolio. The fair market value of the securities at the time of transfer was $8,234,244. The unrealized loss of $277,795 will continue to be reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax, and amortized over the remaining life of the securities as an adjustment to yield. Upon transfer to the held-to-maturity category, premium and discount accounts were adjusted to reflect the fair market value of the security. The resulting premiums and discounts will also be amortized as an adjustment to yield.

See Note 9 “Fair Value of Financial Instruments” for more information on the calculation of fair or carrying value for the investment securities.

As of March 31, 2014, the Company had specific reserves of $693,000 on TDRs, and there were no TDRs in default.

The allowance for loan losses and reserve for unfunded commitments are maintained at levels considered adequate by management to provide for probable loan losses as of the reporting dates. The allowance for loan losses and reserve for unfunded commitments are based on management’s assessment of various factors affecting the loan portfolio, including problem loans, business conditions and loss experience, and an overall evaluation of the quality of the underlying collateral. Changes in the allowance for loan losses and the reserve for unfunded commitments during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 are as follows:

Management's policy is to charge off loans or portions of loans as soon as an identifiable loss amount can be determined from evidence obtained, such as current cash flow information, updated appraisals or similar real estate evaluations, equipment, inventory or similar collateral evaluations, accepted offers on loan sales or negotiated discounts, and/or guarantor asset valuations. In situations where problem loans are dependent on collateral liquidation for repayment, management obtains updated independent valuations, such as appraisals or broker opinions, generally no less frequently than once every twelve months and more frequently for larger or more troubled loans. In the time period between these independent valuations, the Company monitors market conditions for

Table of Contents

any significant event or events that would materially change the valuations, and updates them as appropriate. If the valuations suggest an increase in collateral values, the Company does not recover prior amounts charged off until the assets are actually sold and the increase realized. However, if the updated valuations suggest additional loss, the Company charges off the additional amount.

Loan Risk Characteristics

The following is a recap of the risk characteristics associated with each of the Company's major loan portfolio segments.

Commercial Loans: Although the impacts of the soft recovery continue to heighten risk in the commercial portfolio, management does not consider the portfolio to present “concentration risk” at this time. Management believes there is adequate diversification by type, industry, and geography to mitigate excessive risk. The commercial portfolio includes a mix of term loan facilities and operating loans and lines made to a variety of different business types in the markets it serves. The Company utilizes SBA, USDA and other government-assisted or guaranteed financing programs whenever advantageous to further mitigate risk in this area. With the exception of the agricultural portfolio discussed in more detail below, there is no other significant concentration of industry types in its loan portfolio, and no dominant employer or industry across all the markets it serves. Underwriting focuses on the evaluation of potential future cash flows to cover debt requirements, sufficient collateral margins to buffer against devaluations, credit history of the business and its principals, and additional support from willing and capable guarantors.

Commercial Real Estate Loans: Recovering economic conditions and stabilizing commercial property values have reduced risk in this segment from prior recent quarters. In comparison to its national peer group, the Company has less overall exposure to commercial real estate and a stronger mix of owner-occupied (where the borrower occupies and operates in at least part of the building) versus non-owner occupied loans. The loans represented in this category are spread across the Company's footprint, and there are no significant concentrations by industry type or borrower. The most significant property types represented in the portfolio

Table of Contents

are office 22.4%, industrial 16.3%, health care 13.7% and retail 14.2%. The other 33.4% is a mix of property types with smaller concentrations, including religious facilities, auto-related properties, restaurants, convenience stores, storage units, motels and commercial investment land.

While 70.3% of the Company's commercial real estate portfolio is in its Northern Idaho/Eastern Washington region, this region is a large and diverse region with differing local economies and real estate markets. Given this diversity, and the diversity of property types and industries represented, management does not believe that this concentration represents a significant concentration risk.

Non-owner occupied commercial real estate loans are made only to projects with strong debt-service-coverage and lower loan-to-value ratios and/or to borrowers with established track records and the ability to fund potential project cash flow shortfalls from other income sources or liquid assets. Project due diligence is conducted by the Bank, to help provide for adequate contingencies, collateral and/or government guaranties. The Company has largely avoided speculative financing of investment properties, particularly of the types most vulnerable in the recent downturn, including investment office buildings and retail strip developments. Management believes geographic, borrower and property-type diversification, and prudent underwriting and monitoring standards applied by seasoned commercial lenders mitigate concentration risk in this segment.

Construction and Development Loans: After the aggressive reduction efforts of the past few years, the land development and commercial construction loan components pose much lower concentration risk for the total loan portfolio, and now total $45.9 million, or 9.0% of the loan portfolio. The substantial portfolio reduction, combined with stabilizing real estate values, has reduced risk in this portfolio to a level where it no longer represents a significant concentration risk.

Agricultural Loans: The agricultural portfolio represents a larger percentage of the loans in the Bank's southern Idaho region. At the end of the period, agricultural loans and agricultural real estate loans totaled $94.8 million or 18.4% of the total loan portfolio. The agricultural portfolio consists of loans secured by livestock, crops and real estate. Agriculture has typically been a cyclical industry with periods of both strong and weak performance. Current conditions remain strong but may weaken in the next few years because of rising input costs, weaker commodity prices, and potential water shortages. To mitigate credit risk, specific underwriting is applied to retain only borrowers that have proven track records in the agricultural industry. Many of Intermountain's agricultural borrowers are third or fourth generation farmers and ranchers with limited real estate debt, which reduces overall debt coverage requirements and provides extra flexibility and collateral for equipment and operating borrowing needs. In addition, the Bank has hired senior lenders with significant experience in agricultural lending to administer these loans. Further mitigation is provided through frequent collateral inspections, adherence to farm operating budgets, and annual or more frequent review of financial performance.

Multifamily: The multifamily segment comprises $14.5 million or 2.8% of the total loan portfolio at the end of the period. This portfolio represents relatively low risk for the Company, as a result of the strong current market for multifamily properties and low vacancy rates across the Company's footprint.

Residential Real Estate, Residential Construction and Consumer: Residential real estate, residential construction and consumer loans total $68.5 million or 13.3% of the total loan portfolio. Management does not believe they represent significant concentration risk. However, continuing soft employment conditions and reduced home equity is putting pressure on some borrowers in this portfolio.

Municipal loans: Municipal loans comprise $5.9 million or 1.1% of the total loan portfolio. The small size of the portfolio and careful underwriting of the loans within it limit overall concentration risk in this segment.

Credit quality indicators

The risk grade analyses included as part of the Company's credit quality indicators for loans and leases are developed through review of individual borrowers on an ongoing basis. Each loan is evaluated at the time of origination and each subsequent renewal. Loans with principal balances exceeding $500,000 are evaluated on a more frequent basis. Trigger events (such as loan delinquencies, customer contact, and significant collateral devaluation) also require an updated credit quality review. Loans with risk grades four through eight are evaluated at least annually with more frequent evaluations often done as borrower, collateral or market conditions change. In situations where problem loans are dependent on collateral liquidation for repayment, management obtains updated independent valuations, generally no less frequently than once every twelve months and more frequently for larger or more troubled loans.

Table of Contents

Other measurements used to assess credit quality, including delinquency statistics, nonaccrual and OREO levels, net chargeoff activity, and classified asset trends, are updated and evaluated monthly.

These risk grades are defined as follows:

Satisfactory — A satisfactory rated loan is not adversely classified because it does not display any of the characteristics for adverse classification.

Watch — A watch loan has a solid but vulnerable repayment source. There is loss exposure only if the primary repayment source and collateral experience prolonged deterioration. Loans in this risk grade category are subject to frequent review and change due to the increased vulnerability of repayment sources and collateral valuations.

Special mention — A special mention loan has potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, such potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects or collateral position at some future date. Special mention loans are not adversely classified and do not warrant adverse classification.

Substandard — A substandard loan is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans classified as substandard generally have a well-defined weakness, or weaknesses, that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. These loans are characterized by the distinct possibility of loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful — A loan classified doubtful has all the weaknesses inherent in a loan classified substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full highly questionable and improbable, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values.

Loss — Loans classified loss are considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuing to be carried as an asset is not warranted. This classification does not necessarily mean that there is to no potential for recovery or salvage value, but rather that it is not appropriate to defer a full write-off even though partial recovery may be realized in the future.

Credit quality indicators by loan segment are summarized as follows:

(1)

In January 2003, the Company issued $8.0 million of Trust Preferred securities through its subsidiary, Intermountain Statutory Trust I. The debt associated with these securities bears interest on a variable basis tied to the 90-day LIBOR (London Inter-Bank Offering Rate) index plus 3.25%, with interest only paid quarterly. The rate on this borrowing was 3.49% at March 31, 2014. The debt is callable by the Company quarterly and matures in March 2033. See Note A below.

In March 2004, the Company issued $8.0 million of Trust Preferred securities through its subsidiary, Intermountain Statutory Trust II. The debt associated with these securities bears interest on a variable basis tied to the 90-day LIBOR index plus 2.8%, with interest only paid quarterly. The rate on this borrowing was 3.04% at March 31, 2014. The debt is callable by the Company quarterly and matures in April 2034. See Note A below:

Table of Contents


A)	Intermountain’s obligations under the debentures issued to the trusts referred to above constitute a full and unconditional guarantee by Intermountain of the Statutory Trusts’ obligations under the Trust Preferred Securities. In accordance with ASC 810, Consolidation, the trusts are not consolidated and the debentures and related amounts are treated as debt of Intermountain.

(3) In November 2013, the Company entered into a Loan Agreement with NexBank SSB (“Lender”) providing for

a term loan in the amount of $7,000,000 (the “Loan Agreement”). The loan accrues interest at three-month LIBOR plus 4% per annum and has a maturity date of November 19, 2018. The rate on the loan at March 31, 2014 was 4.28%. The Company used the net proceeds of the loan as part of its full repayment to Treasury to redeem the preferred shares issued to Treasury under the CPP. Commencing December 1, 2013, monthly installments of principal in the amount of $58,333.33, plus accrued interest are due and payable. The Company may prepay the loan (and all accrued interest) without fee or penalty. In connection with entering into the Loan Agreement, the Company issued to Lender a Promissory Note dated as of November 19, 2013 (“Note”). The obligations of the Company under the Loan Agreement and the Note are secured by a pledge of all of the common stock of the Company’s subsidiary, Panhandle State Bank (the “Bank”), pursuant to a Pledge and Security Agreement dated as of November 19, 2013 (the “Pledge Agreement”). In the event of a default by the Company under the Loan Agreement, the Lender may declare the Note to be immediately due and payable and exercise or pursue any other remedy permitted under or conferred on Lender by operation of law. The Loan Agreement and the related Note include various covenants and agreements that are customary for loan agreements and promissory notes of this type, including certain financial and capital ratios. Under the Loan Agreement, the Company among other things must limit any indebtedness that it incurs during the life of the loan and is restricted from merging or being acquired without Lender approval. As of March 31, 2014, the Company believes that it had met all covenants and other conditions of the Loan Agreement.

At March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013, there were 2,127 and 8,042 anti-dilutive common stock options, respectively, not included in diluted earnings per share. At March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013, there were 65,323 anti-dilutive common stock warrants-Series A not included in diluted earnings per share.

As part of the Company's January 2012 capital raise (see Note 7 "Stockholders' Equity"), warrants were issued for 1,700,000 shares, and on a reverse-split adjusted basis, 170,000 shares of non-voting common stock. The impacts of these warrants were included in diluted earnings per share, and were calculated using the treasury stock method.

7. Stockholders' Equity:

Table of Contents

On December 19, 2008, the Company issued 27,000 shares of Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, no par value with a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share (“Preferred Stock”) a 10-year warrant to purchase up to 653,226 shares, and on a reverse-split adjusted basis, 65,323 shares, of Common Stock, no par value, as part of the Troubled Asset Relief Program Capital Purchase Program of the U.S. Department of Treasury (“U.S. Treasury”). The $27.0 million cash proceeds were allocated between the Preferred Stock and the warrant to purchase common stock based on the relative estimated fair values at the date of issuance, and the estimated value of the warrants was included in equity. The fair value of the warrants was determined under the Black-Scholes model. The model includes assumptions regarding the Company’s common stock prices, dividend yield, and stock price volatility as well as assumptions regarding the risk-free interest rate. The strike price for the warrant, as adjusted for the 10-for-1 reverse stock split, is $62.00 per share. The Series A preferred stock was repurchased by the Company in November, 2013 for $27 million. The warrants, however, remain outstanding. Until its redemption, dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock accrued and were paid quarterly at a rate of 5% per year.

As part of the Company's capital raise in January, 2012, the Company authorized up to 864,600 shares of Mandatorily Convertible Cumulative Participating Preferred Stock, Series B, no par value with a liquidation preference of $0.01 per share (“Series B Preferred Stock”), 698,993 of which were issued. Each of these shares automatically converted into 50 shares of a new series of non-voting common stock at a conversion price of $1.00 per share (the “Non-Voting Common Stock”) in May, 2012 after shareholder approval of such Non-Voting Common Stock. The Non-Voting Common Stock has equal rights in terms of dividends and liquidation preference to the Company's Voting Common Stock, but does not provide holders with voting rights on shareholder matters. A 10-for-1 reverse stock split became effective October 5, 2012, which reduced the number of non-voting shares outstanding. The Series B Preferred Stock remains authorized, but unissued.

In addition, as part of the Company's January 2012 capital raise, warrants to purchase 1,700,000 shares, and on a reverse-split adjusted basis, 170,000 shares of the Company's Voting Common or Non-Voting Common were issued to two of the shareholders participating in the raise. The cash proceeds of the offering were allocated between the warrants, the Common Stock and the Series B Preferred Stock based on the relative estimated fair values at the date of issuance. The fair value of the warrants was determined using common valuation modeling. The modeling includes assumptions regarding the Company’s common stock prices, dividend yield, and stock price volatility as well as assumptions regarding the risk-free interest rate. The strike price for the warrant, on a reverse-split adjusted basis, is $10 per share, but is adjusted down if the Company recorded or otherwise issues shares at a price lower than the strike price. As such, the warrants are accounted for as a liability and listed at fair value on the Company's financial statements. Adjustments to the fair value are measured quarterly and any changes are recorded through non-interest income.

In May 2012, the Company successfully completed an $8.7 million Common Stock rights offering, including the purchase of unsubscribed shares by investors in the Company's January private placement. As a result of the raise, the Company, issued, on a reverse-split adjusted basis, 525,000 shares of Voting Common stock and 345,000 shares of Non-Voting Common Stock.

8. Income Taxes:

For the three month period ended March 31, 2014, the Company recorded income tax expense of $400,000, as compared to no expense for the same period last year. In each of these periods, the Company generated positive net income before income taxes, but for the three months ended March 31, 2013, recorded no expense as it offset current income against carryforward losses from prior years.

The Company had deferred tax assets totaling $21.0 million at March 31, 2014 compared to $21.7 million at December 31, 2013. The decrease in the net deferred tax asset reflects the impacts of additional earnings and an increase in the unrealized market value of the Company's investment securities.

At March 31, 2014, Intermountain assessed whether it was more likely than not that it would realize the benefits of its deferred tax asset. It determined that the positive evidence associated with a three-year cumulative positive income, improving national and regional economic conditions, significantly reduced credit and other balance sheet risk, and improving Company performance offset the negative evidence of losses in 2009 and 2010. Intermountain used an estimate of future earnings, future reversals of taxable temporary differences, and tax planning strategies to determine whether it is more likely than not that the benefit of the deferred tax asset would be realized. In estimating the future earnings, management assumed moderately improving economic conditions. As such, its estimates included continued lower credit losses in 2014 and ensuing years as the Company’s loan portfolio continues to turn over. It also assumed: (1) a compressed but stable net interest margin in 2014, with gradual improvement in future years, as the Company is able to convert some of its cash position to higher yielding instruments; (2) stable other income as increased trust and investment income offsets reductions in mortgage origination income; and (3) stable operating expenses as continued cost reduction strategies offset inflationary increases. The Company analyzes the deferred tax asset on a quarterly basis and may establish a new allowance at some future time depending on actual results and estimates of future profitability.

reported in income tax expense. Intermountain’s tax positions for the years after 2009 remain subject to review by the Internal Revenue Service. Intermountain does not expect its unrecognized tax benefits to significantly change within the next twelve months.

9. Fair Value of Financial Instruments:

Intermountain is required to disclose the estimated fair value of financial instruments, both assets and liabilities on and off the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate fair value. These fair value estimates are made at March 31, 2014 based on relevant market information and information about the financial instruments. Fair value estimates are intended to represent the price an asset could be sold at or the price a liability could be settled for. However, given there is no active market or observable market transactions for many of the Company's financial instruments, the Company has made estimates of many of these fair values which are subjective in nature, involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimated values.

The estimated fair value of the instruments as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 are as follows (in thousands):



	Fair Value Measurements as of

Fair value is defined under ASC 820-10 as the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Fair value estimates are based on quoted market prices, if available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair value estimates are based on quoted market prices of similar assets or liabilities, or the present value of expected future cash flows and other valuation techniques. These valuations are significantly affected by discount rates, cash flow assumptions, and risk and other assumptions used. Therefore, fair value estimates may not be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and are not intended to reflect the proceeds that may be realizable in an immediate settlement of the instruments.

Fair value is determined at one point in time and is not representative of future value. These amounts do not reflect the total value of a going concern organization. Management does not have the intention to dispose of a significant portion of its assets and liabilities and therefore, the unrealized gains or losses should not be interpreted as a forecast of future earnings and cash flows.

In support of these representations, ASC 820-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop those assumptions. The fair value hierarchy is as follows:

Level 1 inputs — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2 inputs — Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These might include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.

Table of Contents

Level 3 inputs — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair values requires significant management judgment or estimation.

The methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair values of each class of financial instruments are as follows:

Cash, Cash Equivalents, Federal Funds and Certificates of Deposit

The carrying value of cash, cash equivalents, federal funds sold and certificates of deposit approximates fair value due to the relatively short-term nature of these instruments.

Securities

The fair values of securities are based principally on market prices and dealer quotes. Certain fair values are estimated using pricing models or are based on comparisons to market prices of similar securities. The Company obtained fair value measurements from an independent pricing service and internally validated these measurements. 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 bond’s terms and conditions, among other things.

BOLI

The fair value of BOLI is equal to the cash surrender value of the life insurance policies.

Other Assets

Other assets include FHLB stock and an interest rate swap. The fair value of stock in the FHLB equals its carrying amount since such stock is only redeemable at its par value. The fair value of the interest rate swap is discussed below.

Loans Receivable and Loans Held For Sale

The fair value of performing mortgage loans, commercial real estate, construction, consumer and commercial loans is estimated by discounting the cash flows using interest rates that consider the interest rate risk inherent in the loans and current economic and lending conditions. See the discussion below for fair valuation of impaired loans. Non-accrual loans are assumed to be carried at their current fair value and therefore are not adjusted.

Deposits

The fair values for deposits subject to immediate withdrawal such as interest and non-interest bearing checking, savings and money market deposit accounts are discounted using market rates for replacement dollars and using Company and industry statistics for decay/maturity dates. The carrying amounts for variable-rate certificates of deposit approximate their fair value at the reporting date. Fair values for fixed-rate certificates of deposit are estimated by discounting future cash flows using interest rates currently offered on time deposits with similar remaining maturities.

Borrowings

The fair value of short-term borrowing under repurchase agreements is calculated using market rates for replacements and using the Bank's funding migration analysis.

The fair value of long-term FHLB Seattle advances and other long-term borrowings is estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the Company’s current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements with similar remaining terms. The carrying amounts of variable rate long-term borrowings and Trust Preferred instruments approximate their fair values due to the short period of time between repricing dates.

Accrued Interest

The carrying amounts of accrued interest payable and receivable approximate their fair value.

Interest Rate Swaps

The Company holds interest rate swaps as a hedging strategy to help manage the Company's interest-rate-risk. Derivative contracts are valued by the counter party and are periodically validated by management. The counter-party determines the fair value of interest rate swaps using a discounted cash flow method based on current incremental rates for similar types of arrangements.

Table of Contents

Unexercised Warrant Liability

A liability for unexercised warrants was created as part of the Company's capital raise in January, 2012 (see Note 7--Stockholders' Equity). The liability is carried at fair value and adjustments are made periodically through non-interest income to record changes in the fair value. The fair value is measured using warrant valuation modeling techniques, which seek to estimate the market price that the unexercised options would bring if sold. Assumptions used in calculating the value include the volatility of the underlying stock, the risk-free interest rate, the expected term of the warrants, the market price of the underlying stock and the dividend yield on the stock.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The following tables present information about the Company’s assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2014, and December 31, 2013, and indicate the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques utilized by the Company to determine such fair value (in thousands).

Table of Contents

The following table presents additional quantitative information about assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and for which the company has utilized Level 3 inputs to determine fair value at March 31, 2014:




	Valuation Techniques	Unobservable Input	Range of Inputs
Impaired Loans	Discounted cash flows and appraisal of collateral	Amount and timing of cash flows	No payment deferral to indefinite payment deferral
		Discount Rate	4% to 9%
		Appraisal adjustments	10% to 35%
		Liquidation Expenses	10% to 15%
OREO	Discounted cash flows of future installment payments on sale of OREO	Amount and timing of cash flows	$4.2 million over 5 years
		Discount Rate	4%
	Appraisal of Collateral	Appraisal adjustments	10% to 35%
	Appraisal of Collateral	Liquidation Expenses	10% to 15%

Impaired Loans

Periodically, the Company records nonrecurring adjustments to the carrying value of loans based on fair value measurements for partial charge-offs of the uncollectible portions of those loans. Nonrecurring adjustments also include certain impairment amounts for impaired loans when establishing the allowance for credit losses. Such amounts are generally based on either the estimated fair value of the cash flows to be received or the fair value of the underlying collateral supporting the loan less selling costs. Real estate collateral on these loans and the Company’s OREO is typically valued using appraisals or other indications of value based on recent comparable sales of similar properties or assumptions generally observable in the marketplace. Management reviews these valuations and makes additional valuation adjustments, as necessary, including subtracting estimated costs of liquidating the collateral or selling the OREO. If the value of the impaired loan is determined to be less than the recorded investment in the loans, the impairment is recognized and the carrying value of the loan is adjusted to fair value through the allowance for loan and lease losses. The carrying value of loans fully charged off is zero. The related nonrecurring fair value measurement adjustments have generally been classified as Level 3 because of the significant assumptions required in estimating future cash flows on these loans, and the uncertain collateral values underlying the loans. Volatility and the lack of relevant and current sales data in the Company’s market areas for various types of collateral create additional uncertainties and require the use of multiple sources and management judgment to make adjustments. Loans subject to nonrecurring fair value measurement were $15.0 million at March 31, 2014 all of which were classified as Level 3.

OREO

OREO represents real estate which the Company has taken control of in partial or full satisfaction of loans. At the time of foreclosure, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) states that OREO is recorded at its fair value less cost to sell. Any write-downs based on the asset’s fair value at the date of acquisition are charged to the allowance for loan and lease losses. After foreclosure, management periodically performs valuations such that the real estate is carried at the lower of its new cost basis or fair value, net of estimated costs to sell. Fair value adjustments on other real estate owned are recognized within net loss on real estate owned as a component of non-interest expense. Fair value is determined from external appraisals and other valuations using judgments and estimates of external professionals. Many of these inputs are not observable and, accordingly, these measurements are classified as Level 3. The Company’s OREO at March 31, 2014 totaled $3.8 million, all of which was classified as Level 3.

The majority of the Company’s OREO balance, comprising $3.7 million of the total $3.8 million at March 31, 2014, was valued differently, however, because it is subject to an installment sales agreement. While the contract requires full payment of the balance recorded by the Company, because of the installment sales contract, accounting guidance requires the maintenance of the OREO balance on the Company's books and the establishment of a $539,000 valuation reserve against the balance. The Company anticipates recovery of this reserve over the five-year period. In valuing the OREO, the Company discounted the expected cash flows from the installment sale at a rate similar to rates provided on loans similar to the subject transaction.

10. New Accounting Pronouncements:

In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, "Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists." ASU 2013-11 provides guidance on the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits related to any disallowed portion of net operating loss carryforwards, similar tax losses, or tax credit carryforwards, if they exist. ASU 2013-11 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2013, and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In January 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-04, "Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon foreclosure." ASU 2014-04 clarifies that an in substance repossession or foreclosure occurs, and a creditor is considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan, upon either (1) the creditor obtaining legal title to the residential real estate property upon completion of a foreclosure or (2) the borrower conveying all interest in the residential real estate property to the creditor to satisfy that loan through completion of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or through a similar legal agreement. ASU 2014-04 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2014, and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

11. Subsequent Events:

At the Company's 2014 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”) held on April 2, 2014, Intermountain’s shareholders approved an amendment to the Company's 2012 Stock Option and Equity Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) increasing the number of shares available for issuance under the Plan by 175,000 (the “Amended and Restated Plan”). The Amended and Restated Plan authorizes the issuance of stock awards for up to 275,000 shares of Intermountain’s common stock to employees and directors in the form of incentive and nonqualified stock options, restricted stock, stock appreciation rights and restricted stock units. Prior to shareholders approving the Amended and Restated Plan, all shares under the Plan had been granted and no shares remained available for grant. Subject to shareholders approving the Amended and Restated Plan, Intermountain’s Compensation Committee and Board of Directors approved the grant of 160,000 shares in the form of restricted stock awards to certain executive officers and employees, leaving 15,000 shares remaining available for future grant under the Amended and Restated Plan. The awards are subject to participants meeting certain performance thresholds and are subject to vesting conditions.

General (Overview & History)

Intermountain Community Bancorp (“Intermountain” or the “Company”) is a bank holding company registered under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended. Panhandle State Bank ("PSB" or "Bank"), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, was first opened in 1981 to serve the local banking needs of Bonner County, Idaho. PSB is regulated by the Idaho Department of Finance, the State of Washington Department of Financial Institutions, the Oregon Division of Finance and Corporate Securities and by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”), its primary federal regulator and the insurer of its deposits.

Since opening in 1981, the Bank has continued to grow by opening additional branch offices throughout Idaho and has also expanded into the states of Oregon and Washington. Intermountain also operates Trust & Investment Services divisions, which provide investment, insurance, wealth management and trust services to its clients.

The slow pace of national and regional economic recovery has slowed the Company’s growth over the past several years. In response, Company management shifted its priorities to improving asset quality, raising additional capital, maintaining a conservative balance sheet and improving the efficiency of its operations. Significant progress has been made in these areas, and management is now pursuing prudent growth opportunities, both organically and through acquisition.

Intermountain offers banking and financial services that fit the needs of the communities it serves. Lending activities include consumer, commercial, commercial real estate, construction, mortgage and agricultural loans. A full range of deposit services are available including checking, savings and money market accounts as well as various types of certificates of deposit. Trust and wealth management services, investment and insurance services, business cash management and electronic banking solutions round out the Company’s product offerings.

Intermountain seeks to differentiate itself by attracting, retaining and motivating highly experienced employees who are local market leaders, and supporting them with advanced technology, training and compensation systems. This approach allows the Bank to provide local marketing and decision-making to respond quickly to customer opportunities and build leadership in its communities. Simultaneously, the Bank has focused on standardizing and centralizing administrative and operational functions to improve risk management, efficiency and the ability of the branches to serve customers effectively.

The Company’s strengths include a strong, committed team of experienced banking officers, a loyal and low-cost deposit base, a sophisticated risk management system, and a strong operational and compliance infrastructure. In the current slow-growth environment, the Company is leveraging these strengths to seek prudent growth opportunities while continuing to improve operating efficiency.

Critical Accounting Policies

The accounting and reporting policies of Intermountain conform to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) and to general practices within the banking industry. The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Intermountain’s management has identified the accounting policies described below as those that, due to the judgments, estimates and assumptions inherent in those policies, are critical to an understanding of Intermountain’s Consolidated Financial Statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Investments. Assets in the investment portfolio are initially recorded at cost, which includes any premiums and discounts. Intermountain amortizes premiums and discounts as an adjustment to interest income using the interest yield method over the life of the security. The cost of investment securities sold, and any resulting gain or loss, is based on the specific identification method.

Management determines the appropriate classification of investment securities at the time of purchase. Held-to-maturity securities are those securities that Intermountain has the intent and ability to hold to maturity, and are recorded at amortized cost. Available-for-sale securities are those securities that would be available to be sold in the future in response to liquidity needs, changes in market interest rates, and asset-liability management strategies, among others. Available-for-sale securities are reported at fair value, with unrealized holding gains and losses reported in stockholders’ equity as a separate component of other comprehensive income, net of applicable deferred income taxes.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2013, the Company transferred $8.5 million in securities from its available-for-sale portfolio to its held-to-maturity portfolio, based on management's intent and ability to hold these securities to maturity. This transfer was recorded at fair market value and the unrealized loss at the date of transfer continues to be reported as accumulated other comprehensive income, net of applicable deferred income taxes, and will be amortized over the remaining life of the securities as an adjustment to yield. Upon transfer to the held-to-maturity category, premium and discount accounts were adjusted to reflect the fair market value of the security. The resulting premiums and discounts will also be amortized as an adjustment to yield.

Management evaluates investment securities for other-than-temporary declines in fair value on a periodic basis. If the fair value of an investment security falls below its amortized cost and the decline is deemed to be other-than-temporary, the security’s fair value will be analyzed based on market conditions and expected cash flows on the investment security. The unrealized loss is considered an other-than-temporary impairment. The Company then calculates a credit loss charge against earnings by subtracting the estimated present value of estimated future cash flows on the security from its amortized cost. The other-than-temporary impairment less the credit loss charge against earnings is a component of other comprehensive income.

Allowance For Loan Losses. In general, determining the amount of the allowance for loan losses requires significant judgment and the use of estimates by management. This analysis is designed to determine an appropriate level and allocation of the allowance for losses among loan types and loan classifications by considering factors affecting loan losses, including: specific losses; levels and trends in impaired and nonperforming loans; historical bank and industry loan loss experience; current national and local economic conditions; volume, growth and composition of the portfolio; regulatory guidance; and other relevant factors. Management monitors the loan portfolio to evaluate the adequacy of the allowance. The allowance can increase or decrease based upon the results of management’s analysis.

The amount of the allowance for the various loan types represents management’s estimate of probable incurred losses inherent in the existing loan portfolio based upon historical bank and industry loan loss experience for each loan type. The allowance for loan losses related to impaired loans is based on the fair value of the collateral for collateral dependent loans, and on the present value of expected cash flows for non-collateral dependent loans. For collateral dependent loans, this evaluation requires management to make estimates of the value of the collateral and any associated holding and selling costs, and for non-collateral dependent loans, estimates on the timing and risk associated with the receipt of contractual cash flows.

Management believes the allowance for loan losses was adequate at March 31, 2014. While management uses available information to provide for loan losses, the ultimate collectability of a substantial portion of the loan portfolio and the need for future additions to the allowance will be based on changes in economic conditions and other relevant factors. A slowdown in economic activity could adversely affect cash flows for both commercial and individual borrowers, as a result of which the Company could experience increases in nonperforming assets, delinquencies and losses on loans. The allowance requires considerable judgment on the part of management, and material changes in the allowance can have a significant impact on the Company's financial position and results of operations.

Fair Value Measurements. ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements” establishes a standard framework for measuring fair value in GAAP, clarifies the definition of “fair value” within that framework, and expands disclosures about the use of fair value measurements. A number of valuation techniques are used to determine the fair value of assets and liabilities in Intermountain’s

Table of Contents

financial statements. These include quoted market prices for securities, interest rate swap valuations based upon the modeling of termination values adjusted for credit spreads with counterparties, and appraisals of real estate from independent licensed appraisers, among other valuation techniques. Fair value measurements for assets and liabilities where there exists limited or no observable market data are based primarily upon estimates, and are often calculated based on the economic and competitive environment, the characteristics of the asset or liability and other factors. Therefore, the results cannot be determined with precision and may not be realized in an actual sale or immediate settlement of the asset or liability. Additionally, there are inherent weaknesses in any calculation technique, and changes in the underlying assumptions used, including discount rates and estimates of future cash flows, could significantly affect the results of current or future values. Significant changes in the aggregate fair value of assets and liabilities required to be measured at fair value or for impairment will be recognized in the income statement under the framework established by GAAP. If impairment is determined, it could limit the ability of Intermountain’s banking subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other payments to the Holding Company. See Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on fair value measurements.

Income Taxes. Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method. Under this method a deferred tax asset or liability is determined based on the enacted tax rates which will be in effect when the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and tax basis of existing assets and liabilities are expected to be reported in the Company’s income tax returns. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established to reduce the net carrying amount of deferred tax assets if it is determined to be more likely than not, that all or some portion of the potential deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Company uses an estimate of future earnings, an evaluation of its loss carryback ability and tax planning strategies to determine whether or not the benefit of its net deferred tax asset may be realized. The analysis used to determine whether a valuation allowance is required and if so, the amount of the allowance, is based on estimates of future taxable income and the effectiveness of future tax planning strategies. These estimates require significant management judgment about future economic conditions and Company performance.

Note 10, “New Accounting Pronouncements” in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, discusses new accounting pronouncements adopted by Intermountain and the expected impact of accounting pronouncements recently issued or proposed, but not yet required to be adopted.

Results of Operations

Overview. Intermountain recorded net income applicable to common stockholders of $1.0 million, or $0.16 per diluted share for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared with net income of $1.1 million, or $0.16 per diluted share for the three months ended March 31, 2013. Lower interest and operating expenses and a lower loan loss provision offset lower interest and other income and higher income tax expense to produce comparable results to the first quarter of last year.

The annualized return on average assets (“ROAA”) was 0.45% for the three months ended March 31, 2014, as compared to 0.45% in the same period last year (ROAA is defined as the Net Income to Common Shareholders divided by the annualized average assets). The annualized return on average common tangible equity (“ROAE”) was 4.42% in 2014 and 4.89% in 2013, respectively.

Net Interest Income. The most significant component of earnings for the Company is net interest income, which is the difference between interest income from the Company’s loan and investment portfolios, and interest expense on deposits, repurchase agreements and other borrowings. During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013, net interest income was $7.8 million and $8.3 million, respectively. The decrease in net interest income from last year reflects lower interest income on loans resulting primarily from declines in loan yields. Very low market rates and intense competition for strong borrowers continue to pressure both the Company's and its competitors' loan yields. Investment interest income was up, reflecting moderately higher investment yields and a significant reduction in premium amortization speeds on the Company's mortgage-backed securities portfolio. Investment income increased despite accelerated premium amortization of $60,000 on a municipal security that was allowed to be called early as a result of the 2012 federal sequestration legislation. Interest expense on deposits continued to decrease as deposit rates declined in response to lower market rates, and CD volumes continued to contract. The decrease in interest expense on other borrowings from the same three-month period last year reflected lower rates paid, particularly on repurchase agreements.

Average interest-earning assets decreased by 4.4% to $825.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to $863.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. Average loans decreased $3.2 million during this period, and average investments and interest-earning cash equivalents decreased by $35.0 million. Lower average loan volumes primarily reflected the impact of paydowns in the fourth quarter of 2013, as loan balances actually increased at a stronger pace near the end of the first quarter of 2014.

Average interest-bearing liabilities decreased by $5.4 million, or 0.7%, for the three month period ended March 31, 2014 compared to March 31, 2013. Average deposit balances decreased $18.5 million, or 2.6%, average Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") advances were flat, and average other borrowings increased $13.1 million, or 13.9%. The decrease in deposits primarily reflects payoffs of higher rate wholesale and retail CDs and the loss of savings balances associated with a terminated contract for

Table of Contents

secured credit cards. The increase in other borrowings resulted from stronger repurchase demand by the Company's municipal customers and the addition of a holding company loan used to redeem the Company's CPP preferred stock.

The net interest margin was 3.43% for the three months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to 3.44% in the comparable period of 2013. A decrease in the average yield on loans was offset by higher investment yields and lower deposit and borrowing costs.

The Company continues to operate in an unprecedented low rate environment, in which the Fed Funds target rate is less than 0.25% and the Federal Reserve continues to purchase mortgage assets to reduce longer rates. After increasing about 1% in the second quarter of 2013, yields on the 10-year US Treasury bond have largely stabilized since, as economic conditions have remained tepid and the Federal Reserve continues with a largely accommodative monetary policy. The Company's short-term variable rate loans are tied primarily to the national prime rate or the overnight or one-month London Interbank Offering Rate (LIBOR), which has not moved. In addition, excess industry liquidity and continuing strong competition for quality borrowers dampened any short-term impact higher long-term market rates had on the loan portfolio. Investment portfolio yields have improved slightly, although strong market liquidity and demand for fixed income investments continues to dampen performance.

Higher market rates could improve yields and earnings in the Company's loan and investment portfolios in future quarters by increasing yields on variable rate loans, and on new loans and investments added to the portfolio. Management also continues to work diligently to redeploy cash assets into higher yielding loans and investments, and in particular is now focused on more rapid expansion of the loan portfolio to offset some of the pressure on yields. The Company also continues to focus on lowering its overall cost of funds, while maintaining transaction deposit balances from core relationship customers. The cost on interest-bearing liabilities dropped from 0.49% for the first three months of 2013 to 0.39% for the same period in 2014, reflecting a 0.10% drop in average deposit rates to 0.24% and a 0.46% drop in repurchase and other borrowing average rates to 1.24%. Management believes that some opportunities still remain to further lower funding costs. However, given the already low level of market rates and the Company’s cost of funds, any future gains are likely to be less than those already experienced.

Provision for Loan Losses & Credit Quality. Management’s policy is to establish valuation allowances for estimated losses by charging corresponding provisions against income. This evaluation is based upon management’s assessment of various factors including, but not limited to, current and anticipated future economic trends, historical loan losses, delinquencies, underlying collateral values, and current and potential risks identified in the portfolio.

The provision for loan losses totaled $103,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to a provision of $179,000 for the comparable period last year. Lower provision costs reflect continued improvements in the quality of the Company's loan portfolio as reflected by the reduction in non-performing assets to 0.9% of assets as of March 31, 2014. For more information on provision and loan loss allowance activity for the periods indicated, see Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, "Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses."

Net chargeoffs declined to $11,000 in the first three months of 2014, compared to $444,000 in the first three months of 2013. In general, portfolio losses are no longer concentrated in any particular industry or loan type, as prior efforts to reduce exposure in construction, land development and commercial real estate loans have decreased the exposure in these segments considerably. The Company continues to resolve or liquidate its problem loans aggressively, particularly those with higher loss exposures, and now believes that the risk of future large losses is significantly reduced. The loan loss allowance to total loans ratio was 1.51% at March 31, 2014, compared to 1.52% at March 31, 2013. At the end of March 2014, the allowance for loan losses totaled 172.2% of non-performing loans compared to 149.5% at March 31, 2013. The increase in this coverage ratio reflects a slightly higher total dollar allowance for loan loss and the reduction of non-performing loans over the prior period.

Given current economic uncertainty, management continues to evaluate and adjust the loan loss allowance carefully and frequently to reflect the most current information available concerning the Company’s markets and loan portfolio. In its evaluation, management considers current economic and borrower conditions in both the pool of loans subject to specific impairment, and the pool subject to a more generalized allowance based on historical and other factors. When a loan is characterized as impaired, the Company performs a specific evaluation of the loan, focusing on potential future cash flows likely to be generated by the loan, current collateral values underlying the loan, and other factors such as government guarantees or guarantor support that may impact repayment. Based on this evaluation, it sets aside a specific reserve for this loan and/or charges down the loan to its net realizable value (selling price less estimated closing costs) if it is unlikely that the Company will receive any cash flow beyond the amount obtained from liquidation of the collateral. If the loan continues to be impaired, management periodically re-evaluates the loan for additional potential impairment, and charges it down or adds to reserves if appropriate. On the pool of loans not subject to specific impairment, management evaluates regional, bank and loan-specific historical loss trends to develop its base reserve level on a loan-by-loan basis. It then modifies those reserves by considering the risk grade of the loan, current economic conditions, the recent trend of defaults, trends in collateral values, underwriting and other loan management considerations, and unique market-specific factors such as water shortages or other natural phenomena.

(3)	Interest income on non-accrual loans based on year-to-date interest totals


(4)	NPAs include both nonperforming loans and OREO

The increase in NPLs from year end reflects the addition of several commercial SBA loans that are expected to be resolved in the near future. The Company’s special assets team continues to migrate loans through the collections process through multiple management strategies, including borrower workouts and individual asset sales to local and regional investors. The Company continues to monitor its non-accrual loans closely and revalue the collateral on a periodic basis. This re-evaluation may create the need for additional write-downs or additional loss reserves on these assets. Loan delinquencies (30 days or more past due) continue at very low levels.

The following table summarizes NPAs by type and provides trending information over the past year:

Table of Contents

Land development assets continue to represent the highest segment of non-performing assets, and primarily reflect one large $3.7 million OREO property, which was sold on an installment sales contract. While the contract requires full payment of the balance recorded by the Company, because of the installment sales contract, accounting guidance requires the maintenance of the OREO balance on the Company's books and the establishment of a $539,000 valuation reserve against the balance. The Company anticipates recovery of this reserve over the five-year period. As noted above, the increase in commercial loans represents the addition of several government-guaranteed loans with resolutions pending in the near future. The totals for the other segments are relatively small. The majority of NPAs are in northern Idaho, reflecting the OREO property noted above and the stronger market presence the Company holds in Northern Idaho. The overall level of NPAs remains below the average of the Company’s peer group.

At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 classified loans (loans with risk grades 6, 7 or 8) by loan type are as follows:



	March 31, 2014				December 31, 2013
	Amount		% of Total		Amount		% of Total
	(Dollars in thousands)
Commercial loans	$	7,585	38.6	%	$	7,520	32.6	%
Commercial real estate loans	3,745		19.1		3,659		15.9
Land and land development loans	821		4.2		1,041		4.5
Agriculture loans	4,227		21.6		4,038		17.5
Multifamily loans	—		—		3,751		16.3

Consumer loans	82		0.4		87		0.4
Total classified loans	$	19,609	100.0	%	$	23,056	100.0	%

Classified loans are loans for which management believes it may experience some problems in obtaining repayment under the contractual terms of the loan, and are inclusive of the Company’s non-accrual loans. However, categorizing a loan as classified does not necessarily mean that the Company will experience any or significant loss of expected principal or interest.

Classified loans decreased from December 31, 2013 as the Company resolved or upgraded several credits during the first quarter without any significant additional loss. As with NPAs, the geographical distribution of the Company’s classified loans reflects the distribution of the Company’s loan portfolio, with higher distributions in the “North Idaho/Eastern Washington” region, and decreased levels in southern Idaho.

Local economies continue to improve, but are still subject to risk from various world and national events, particularly as they impact local confidence and business investment. Within the local economies, there are relatively wide variations in the strength of different industry segments. Manufacturing, technology, and health-care businesses are strong and improving. Housing is also improving, although at a slower pace as mortgage rates have ticked up and affordability has dropped slightly. Agriculture continues to be strong overall, although risks are increasing as a result of moderating prices, increasing input costs and concerns over adequate water in future years. The Company has enhanced its monitoring of this portfolio and added to the loan loss reserves tied to this segment. Although conditions are better than a year ago, the government and retail sectors remain relatively weak.

Full economic recovery in the region is likely to occur slowly and over a multi-year period. As such, management believes that classified loans will likely remain elevated through the remainder of 2014, but at levels lower than those experienced in recent periods. In addition, loss exposure from these loans appears to have decreased significantly, and should continue to be lower than the heavy losses experienced in prior years. Given market volatility and future uncertainties, as with all forward-looking statements, management cannot assure nor guarantee the accuracy of these future forecasts.

Management continues to work towards reducing the level of non-performing assets, classified loans and loss exposures. It uses a variety of analytical tools and an integrated stress testing program involving both qualitative and quantitative modeling to assess the current and projected state of its credit portfolio. The results of this program are integrated with the Company’s capital and liquidity modeling programs to manage and mitigate future risk in these areas as well.

Total other income was $2.0 million and $2.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013, respectively. For the three-month comparable periods, increases in fees and service charges and investment services income were offset by reductions in mortgage origination fees, the fair value of unexercised warrants and cash flows hedges, and other income.

Fees and service charges earned on deposit accounts continue to be the Company’s primary source of other income. Fees and service charges in the first three months of 2014 increased by $43,000 from the comparable 2013 period as changes in the Company's deposit account pricing and improved debit card income offset reductions in overdraft fee income.

Commissions and fees from trust and investment advisory services grew by $14,000 over the prior period as the Company continues to expand its production efforts. The Company is targeting additional resources and marketing efforts in this area and anticipates continued future growth.

Loan related fee income was down from the same period last year, as a result of significantly weaker mortgage refinance activity. Higher mortgage rates are having a significant impact on both refinance and purchase activity, although purchase activity should experience seasonal increases in the second and third quarters.

The Company recognized $5,000 in gains on the sale of securities during the first quarter of 2014, down from $40,000 in the first quarter of last year. This reduction was offset, however, by a $42,000 reduction in credit loss impairment on impaired securities for the period. The cash flow hedge that generated positive fair value adjustments in 2013 matured in the fourth quarter of last year, resulting in the reduction in the first quarter of 2014. The Company recognized a negative fair value adjustment taken on the Company's unexercised warrant liability in 2014, as an increase in the Company's stock price increased this liability. The liability was created by the issuance of three-year warrants for 1,700,000 shares, and on a reverse-split adjusted basis, 170,000 shares, to investors as part of the Company's January 2012 capital raise and must be fair-valued every quarter. As such, there are likely to be fluctuating adjustments in future periods.

BOLI income was down slightly from the prior year as yields declined modestly and the Company did not purchase or liquidate BOLI assets. Other non-interest income totaled $48,000 for the first quarter of 2014, compared to $113,000 for the comparable prior period. The reduction reflects continued decreases in the Company's secured card contract as this contract terminated in the first quarter of 2013. The Company is seeking to replace the lost income from this contract with other card or payment-based initiatives.

Operating expenses for the first quarter of 2014 totaled $7.4 million compared to $8.2 million for the same quarter last year. Lower compensation, technology, printing, FDIC, OREO and other expenses offset higher advertising and legal expenses.

At $3.9 million, compensation and benefits expense decreased from the same quarter in 2013, as lower incentive compensation and medical benefits expense and higher deferred loan origination cost credits offset slightly higher salary expenses. The Company continues to evaluate opportunities to improve staff efficiency while positioning itself for balance sheet growth.

Occupancy expenses were stable from the prior three-month period as the Company continued to exercise caution in purchasing new fixed assets. The decrease in technology expenses reflects the initial benefits of the technology upgrades the Company made in 2013. It anticipates the full completion of these upgrades will result in significant savings in future years. The Company continues to review asset and software purchases carefully and re-negotiate contracts to further lower expense in this area.

Advertising expense was up modestly from the prior year, reflecting stronger marketing activity in the Company's branches. Fee and service charge expenses were relatively stable, while technology changes have lowered printing, postage and supply expenses. Legal and accounting fees increased over last year as a result of accelerated costs associated with holding an earlier annual shareholders' meeting than in prior years. FDIC expenses decreased over the same quarter last year because of a decrease in the assessment base and a lower assessment rate.

OREO expenses reflect the collection of property improvement funds from a third party on the Company's larger remaining OREO property. Other expenses decreased $217,000 from the same quarter in 2013, primarily as a result of decreased operational losses relating to electronic banking and debit card fraud activity. The Company continues to implement new tools and systems to reduce its exposure in this area.

Annualized operating expense as a percentage of average assets was 3.26% and 3.48% for the quarters ending March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013, respectively. The Company’s efficiency ratio (noninterest expense divided by the sum of net interest income and non-interest income) was 82.9% for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, compared to 82.8% for the comparable period one year ago. Improving expense performance was offset by lower net interest and other income. With economic conditions likely to remain challenging in the near future, the Company continues to develop and implement additional efficiency and cost-cutting efforts to offset constrained asset and revenue growth.

and regional economic conditions, significantly reduced credit and other balance sheet risk, and improving Company performance offset the negative evidence of losses in 2009 and 2010. Intermountain used an estimate of future earnings, future reversals of taxable temporary differences, and tax planning strategies to determine whether it is more likely than not that the benefit of the deferred tax asset would be realized. In estimating the future earnings, management assumed moderately improving economic conditions. As such, its estimates included continued lower credit losses in 2014 and ensuing years as the Company’s loan portfolio continues to turn over. It also assumed: (1) a compressed but stable net interest margin in 2014, with gradual improvement in future years, as the Company is able to convert some of its cash position to higher yielding instruments; (2) stable other income as increased trust and investment income offsets reductions in mortgage origination income; and (3) stable operating expenses as continued cost reduction strategies offset inflationary increases. The Company analyzes the deferred tax asset on a quarterly basis and may establish a new allowance at some future time depending on actual results and estimates of future profitability.

Intermountain has performed an analysis of its uncertain tax positions and has not recorded any potential penalties, interest or additional tax in its financial statements as of March 31, 2014 . If Intermountain did incur penalties or interest, they would be reported in income tax expense. Intermountain’s tax positions for the years after 2009 remain subject to review by the Internal Revenue Service. Intermountain does not expect its unrecognized tax benefits to significantly change within the next twelve months.

Financial Position

Assets. At March 31, 2014, Intermountain’s assets were $910.5 million, down $29.2 million from $939.6 million at December 31, 2013. The decrease in assets reflected seasonal reductions in net loans receivable and cash, partially offset by an increase in available-for-sale investments.

Fed Funds Sold & Cash Equivalents. The Bank held $16.7 million in interest-bearing cash equivalents at March 31, 2014. This compares to $44.9 million in interest-bearing cash equivalents at December 31, 2013, as funds were deployed to offset seasonal reductions in local municipal repurchase obligations.

Non-interest bearing and restricted cash totaled $20.9 million at March 31, 2014, compared to $20.2 million at December 31, 2013.

Investments. Intermountain’s investment portfolio at March 31, 2014 was $287.3 million, an increase of $7.3 million, or 2.6% from the December 31, 2013 balance of $279.9 million. The increase reflects the purchase of additional short-duration securities and a reduction in prepayment speeds on the Company's mortgage-backed securities portfolio. Management remains cautious about the volatile investment environment and is working to further shorten the duration of its available-for-sale investment portfolio. As of March 31, 2014, the balance of the unrealized loss on investment securities, net of federal income taxes, was $431,000, compared to an unrealized loss at December 31, 2013 of $1.2 million. The decrease in the unrealized loss position reflected the positive impact on the value of the portfolio resulting from a small reduction in market interest rates during the quarter.

Loans Receivable. At March 31, 2014, net loans receivable totaled $507.0 million, down $7.8 million from $514.8 million at December 31, 2013.

The following table sets forth the composition of Intermountain’s loan portfolio at the dates indicated. Loan balances exclude deferred loan origination costs and fees and allowances for loan losses.

The $7.8 million reduction from December 31, 2013 reflected the resolution and payoff of several commercial real estate loans and seasonal reductions in agricultural and commercial credit lines. Net loans receivable was up $8.2 million over March 31, 2013, led by increases in commercial construction and agricultural loans, as the Company is experiencing stronger loan demand in its markets.

The commercial portfolio is diversified by industry with a variety of small business customers that held up relatively well during the economic downturn. As soft economic conditions continue, however, the Company continues to experience some stress in this portfolio. Most of the commercial credits are smaller, however, and Intermountain carries a higher proportion of SBA and USDA guaranteed loans than many of its peers, reducing the overall risk in this portfolio. Commercial customers continue to watch economic conditions very closely, and have turned to cash more often to pay ongoing costs than borrowing. Quality commercial borrowers are highly sought after, resulting in keen competition and competitive pricing for these customers.

The commercial real estate portfolio is also well-diversified and consists of a mix of owner and non-owner occupied properties, with relatively few truly non-owner-occupied investment properties. The Company has lower concentrations in this segment than most of its peers, and has underwritten these properties cautiously. In particular, it has limited exposure to speculative investment office buildings and retail strip malls, two of the higher risk segments in this category. This portfolio continues to perform well with relatively low delinquency and loss rates. The Company believes it has some opportunity to increase prudent lending in this area, but again competition is keen for these borrowers.

Commercial construction and development activity has picked up recently, as the survivors of the building recession are capitalizing on opportunities created by the lack of inventory resulting from five years of limited construction activity. The Company is approaching these loans cautiously, lending only to strong borrowers with substantial equity positions and backup liquidity. In addition, the Company is watching concentrations closely and carefully selecting its areas of focus.

Most agricultural markets continue to perform well. The sector has performed so well in recent years that many of the Company's best borrowing customers have used excess cash generated to reduce their overall borrowing position. Risks appear to be increasing in this portfolio as prices moderate, input costs rise and concerns increase over adequate water supplies in future years.

The residential and consumer portfolios consist primarily of first and second mortgage loans, unsecured loans to individuals, and auto, boat and RV loans. These portfolios have generally performed well with limited delinquencies and defaults. While these loans have generally been underwritten with relatively conservative loan-to-values and strong debt-to-income ratios, the continued soft economy and lower home prices have resulted in some losses in this loan type.

Economic conditions and property values are demonstrating slow but steady improvement in most of the Company's markets, and as such, management expects that credit losses will continue to decrease. New borrowing activity is picking up, and loan demand in the Company's markets is stronger now than it has been in several years.

As indicated, 58.2% of the Company’s loans are in northern Idaho and eastern Washington, with the next highest percentage in the rural markets of southwest Idaho outside of Boise. Economic trends and real estate valuations are showing consistent improvement in all the Company's markets now. The southwest Idaho and Magic Valley markets are largely agricultural areas which have not seen levels of price appreciation or depreciation as steep as other areas over the last few years. The “Other” category noted above largely represents loans made to local borrowers where the collateral is located outside the Company’s communities. The mix in this category is relatively diverse, with the highest proportions in Oregon, Washington, California, Nevada and Arizona, but no single state comprising more than 3.12% of the total loan portfolio. Participation loans where Intermountain purchased part of the loan and was not the lead bank totaled $11.3 million at March 31, 2014.

Total loans originated	$	35,208	$	41,519	(15.2	)%

Renewed loans	$	49,625	$	45,428	9.2	%

The decrease in new origination activity from the same quarter last year primarily reflects reductions in mortgage loan activity as higher mortgage rates impacted both refinance and new purchase volumes. Otherwise, higher origination activity in agriculture commercial and land development loans offset reductions in commercial real estate and commercial construction loans. Renewal activity increase by 9.2% over the prior period, reflecting slightly stronger borrowing demand from existing customers.

While 2014 origination activity continues to reflect muted economic growth, the Company is starting to see stronger market conditions and borrowing demand in its local markets. This is particularly true for commercial and construction activity. Improvements in agricultural production reflect both increased borrowing demand from existing customers and the development of new customers. Overall origination activity is likely to continue improving from earlier totals as the economy rebounds, but will still be under pressure from slow employment growth and aggressive industry competition for strong borrowers. Residential real estate activity will likely pick up in the next couple quarters, reflecting seasonal increases, but will not likely return to prior levels given the lack of refinance activity. The Company has chosen not to purchase loan pools or pursue additional participation loans in order to maintain a more conservative credit position. Management believes that those banks that have low-cost funding structures and pursue loan growth through strong relationship networks will perform relatively better in the long run.

Office Properties and Equipment. Office properties and equipment decreased $453,000 from year end to $34.2 million at March 31, 2014 as the Company continued to limit new purchase activity.

Other Real Estate Owned. OREO balances totaled $3.8 million at March 31, 2014, compared to $3.7 million at December 31, 2013. One small property was added to the OREO portfolio during the quarter. As noted above, the bulk of the OREO balance is one development property, which is being sold in an installment sales agreement over a five-year period.

The following table details OREO activity during the first three months of 2014 and 2013.

Intangible Assets. Intangible assets now consist only of a small core deposit intangible derived from prior acquisitions that is amortizing down as time progresses.

Deferred Tax Asset. The Company had deferred tax assets totaling $21.0 million at March 31, 2014 compared to $21.7 million at December 31, 2013. The decrease in the net deferred tax asset reflects the impacts of additional earnings and an increase in the unrealized market value of the Company's investment securities.

BOLI and Other Assets. Bank-owned life insurance (“BOLI”) and other assets decreased to $19.6 million at March 31, 2014 from $19.7 million at year end, 2013. The decrease reflected lower interest accrued on interest-bearing assets.

Deposits. Total deposits increased $4.5 million to $710.6 million at March 31, 2014 from $706.1 million at December 31, 2013. The increase reflects higher demand, money market and savings balances, which offset continued, but smaller, reductions in CDs. The Company continues to focus on managing relationship customers closely, lowering its cost of funds, and moving CD customers seeking higher yields into our investment products. Overall, transaction account deposits comprised 78.6% of total deposits at March 31, 2014, up slightly from 78.5% at the prior year end.

(1)	Core deposits consist of non-interest and interest bearing demand accounts, money market accounts, savings accounts, and certificate of deposit accounts of less than $100,000 (excluding public deposits).

The Company’s strong local, core funding base, high percentage of checking, money market and savings balances and careful management of its wholesale CD funding provide lower-cost, more reliable funding to the Company than many of its peers and add to the liquidity strength of the Bank. Maintaining the local funding base at a reasonable cost remains a critical priority for the Company’s management and production staff.

The Company attempts to, and has been successful in balancing loan and deposit balances in each of the market areas it serves. Northern Idaho and eastern Washington deposits currently exceed those in the Company’s southern Idaho and eastern Oregon markets, reflecting the longer presence it has had in these markets. The Company’s deposit market share has grown significantly over the past ten years, and it now ranks third in overall market share in its core markets.

Borrowings. Deposit accounts are Intermountain’s primary source of funds. Intermountain also relies upon advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Seattle, repurchase agreements and other borrowings to supplement its funding, reduce its overall cost of funds, and to meet deposit withdrawal requirements. These borrowings totaled $92.0 million and $127.3 million at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The decrease from year end reflects fluctuations in municipal repurchase activity.

Interest Rate Risk

The results of operations for financial institutions may be materially and adversely affected by changes in prevailing economic conditions, including rapid changes in interest rates, declines in real estate market values and the monetary and fiscal policies of the federal government. Like all financial institutions, Intermountain’s net interest income and its NPV (the net present value of financial assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet contracts), are subject to fluctuations in interest rates. Intermountain utilizes various tools to assess and manage interest rate risk, including an internal income simulation model that seeks to estimate the impact of various rate changes on the net interest income and net income of the bank. This model is validated by comparing results against various third-party estimations. Currently, the model and third-party estimates indicate that Intermountain’s interest rate profile is neutral to slightly asset-sensitive. An asset-sensitive bank generally sees improved net interest income and net income in a rising rate environment, as its assets reprice more rapidly and/or to a greater degree than its liabilities. The opposite is true in a falling interest rate environment. When market rates fall, an asset-sensitive bank tends to see declining income. The Company has become less asset-sensitive over the preceding year, as many of its variable-rate loans have hit contractual floors and the duration of its liability portfolio has shortened.

The current highly unusual market and rate conditions have heightened interest rate risk for the Company and most other financial institutions. Continued very low market rates, keen competition for quality borrowers, rapid mortgage prepayments, and high demand for fixed income securities is negatively impacting net interest income and could continue to do so for a relatively long period of time. In addition, market values on the Company's available-for-sale securities portfolio are susceptible to potentially large negative impacts in the future should market rates increase, as they did in the second quarter of last year.

To minimize the long-term impact of fluctuating interest rates on net interest income, Intermountain promotes a loan pricing policy of utilizing variable interest rate structures that associates loan rates to Intermountain’s internal cost of funds and to the nationally recognized prime or London Interbank Offered (“LIBOR”) lending rates. While this strategy has had adverse impacts in the current unusually low rate environment, the approach historically has contributed to a relatively consistent interest rate spread over the long-term and reduces pressure from borrowers to renegotiate loan terms during periods of falling interest rates. Intermountain currently maintains over fifty percent of its loan portfolio in variable interest rate assets.

Additionally, the extent to which borrowers prepay loans is affected by prevailing interest rates. When interest rates increase, borrowers are less likely to prepay loans. When interest rates decrease, borrowers are generally more likely to prepay loans. Prepayment speeds were unusually high in the period from 2010 to early 2013, as borrowers refinanced into lower rates, paid down debt to improve their financial position, or liquidated assets as part of problem loan work-out strategies. These prepayments slowed in the latter half of 2013 and first quarter of 2014, however, after market rates increased about one percent in 2013. Prepayments may affect the levels of loans retained in an institution’s portfolio, as well as its net interest income.

On the liability side, Intermountain generally seeks to manage its interest rate risk exposure by maintaining a relatively high percentage of non-interest bearing demand deposits, interest-bearing demand deposits, savings and money market accounts. These instruments tend to lag changes in market rates and may afford the Bank more protection in increasing interest rate environments than other short-term borrowings, but can also be changed relatively quickly in a declining rate environment. The Bank utilizes various deposit pricing strategies and other borrowing sources to manage its rate risk. As noted above, the duration of the Company’s liabilities has shortened considerably over the past two years, as customers have preferred shorter-term deposit products and the Company has not replaced longer-term brokered and wholesale funding instruments as they have come due. This presents some additional risk in a rising rate environment. The Company is evaluating various alternatives to mitigate this risk, including the assumption of some longer-term fixed wholesale funding and the use of off-balance sheet interest rate swaps and caps.

Intermountain maintains an asset and liability management program intended to manage net interest income through interest rate cycles and to protect its income by controlling its exposure to changing interest rates. As part of this program, Intermountain uses a simulation model designed to measure the sensitivity of net interest income and net income to changes in interest rates. This simulation model is designed to enable Intermountain to generate a forecast of net interest income and net income given

various interest rate forecasts and alternative strategies. The model is also designed to measure the anticipated impact that prepayment risk, basis risk, customer maturity preferences, volumes of new business and changes in the relationship between long-term and short-term interest rates have on the performance of the Company. The following table represents the estimated sensitivity of the Company’s net interest income as of March 31, 2014 and 2013, compared to the established policy limits:



	2014		2013
12 Month Cumulative% effect on NII	Policy Limit %	3/31/2014	Policy Limit %	3/31/2013
+100bp	+5.0 to -3.0	0.56%	+5.0 to -3.0	(0.41)%
+300bp	+10.0 to -8.0	3.50%	+10.0 to -8.0	2.38%
−100bp	+5.0 to -3.0	(5.05)%	+5.0 to -3.0	(3.20)%
–300bp	-10.0 to -8.0	N/A	-10.0 to -8.0	N/A

24 Month Cumulative% effect on NII	Policy Limit %	3/31/2014	Policy Limit %	3/31/2013
+100bp	+8.0% to -6.0%	1.93%	+8.0% to -6.0%	1.10%
+300bp	+20.0% to -15.0%	5.55%	+20.0% to -15.0%	5.28%
−100bp	+8.0% to -6.0%	(7.57)%	+8.0% to -6.0%	(6.13)%
–300bp	+20.0% to -15.0%	N/A	+20.0% to -15.0%	N/A

The results of modeling indicate that the estimated impact of changing rates on net interest income in a 100 and 300 basis point upward adjustment are within the guidelines established by management. The estimated impact of changing rates on net interest income in a 100 basis point downward adjustment in market interest rates is outside of the Company's guidelines over both a 12-month and 24-month period. A 300 basis point decrease in rates is not considered feasible at this time. The impacts of changing rates on the Company's modeled economic value of equity ("EVE") are within the Company's guidelines for both rising and falling rates. The Company has chosen not to take action to resolve the falling rate guideline exceptions, because of the current low level of market rates and the negative impact actions it could take would have on its exposure to rising rates.

The continuing low level of market rates, and particularly the Federal Funds target range of between 0.00 and 0.25% is unprecedented. This has created significant challenges for interest rate risk management over the past several years, and is reflected in the significant reduction in net interest income during this period. Given the unusual current market rate conditions and the potential for either a prolonged low-rate environment or rapidly rising rates at some point in the future, Company management continues to refine and expand its interest rate risk modeling, and is responding to the results by proactively managing both its on-balance sheet and off-balance sheet positions. Based on the results of its continuing evaluations, management believes that its interest rate risk position is relatively neutral, but that current economic and market conditions heighten overall interest rate risk for both the Company and the industry as a whole.

Intermountain is continuing to pursue strategies to manage the level of its interest rate risk while increasing its long-term net interest income and net income: 1) through the origination and retention of a diversified mix of variable and fixed-rate consumer, business, commercial real estate, and residential loans which generally have higher yields than alternative investments; 2) by prudently managing its investment portfolio to provide relative earnings stability in the face of changing rate environments; and 3) by increasing the level of its core deposits, which are generally a lower-cost, less rate-sensitive funding source than wholesale borrowings. There can be no assurance that Intermountain will be successful implementing any of these strategies or that, if these strategies are implemented, they will have the intended effect of reducing interest rate risk or increasing net interest income.

Liquidity and Sources of Funds

As a financial institution, Intermountain’s primary sources of funds from assets include the collection of loan principal and interest payments, cash flows from various investment securities, and sales of loans, investments or other assets. Liability financing sources consist primarily of customer deposits, repurchase obligations with local customers, advances from FHLB Seattle and correspondent bank borrowings.

The combined impact of liability and other asset changes resulted in an overall decrease of $26.0 million in the Company’s unrestricted cash position from December 31, 2013 to March 31, 2014.

Driving the decrease in unrestricted cash was a $35.2 million reduction in repurchase agreements, reflecting seasonal fluctuations in local municipal balances, and an increase in available-for-sale investments of $9.5 million. Partially offsetting these reductions in cash were a $4.5 million increase in deposits and a $7.8 million seasonal reduction in net loans receivable.

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, cash provided by investing activities consisted primarily of payments on loan receivables, sales of investment securities and principal payments on mortgage-back securities, which offset purchases of available-for-sale securities. During the same period, cash used by financing activities consisted primarily of decreases in CD deposit balances and repurchase agreements.

Securities sold subject to repurchase agreements totaled $64.7 million at March 31, 2014. These borrowings are required to be collateralized by investments with a market value exceeding the face value of the borrowings. Under certain circumstances, Intermountain could be required to pledge additional securities or reduce the borrowings.

Intermountain’s credit line with FHLB Seattle provides for borrowings up to a percentage of its total assets subject to general collateralization requirements. At March 31, 2014, the Company’s FHLB Seattle credit line represented a total borrowing capacity of approximately $136.6 million, of which $4.9 million was being utilized. Additional collateralized funding availability at the Federal Reserve totaled $27.7 million. Both of these collateral secured lines could be expanded more with the placement of additional collateral. Overnight-unsecured borrowing lines have been established at US Bank, Wells Fargo Bank, and Pacific Coast Bankers Bank (“PCBB”). At March 31, 2014, the Company had approximately $45.0 million of overnight funding available from its unsecured correspondent banking sources.

Intermountain and its subsidiary Bank maintain an active liquidity monitoring and management plan, and have worked aggressively over the past several years to expand sources of alternative liquidity. Given continuing volatile economic conditions, the Bank has taken additional protective measures to enhance liquidity, including issuance of new capital, movement of funds into more liquid assets and increased emphasis on relationship deposit-gathering efforts. Because of its relatively low reliance on non-core funding sources and the additional efforts undertaken to improve liquidity discussed above, management believes that the subsidiary Bank’s current liquidity risk is moderate and manageable.

Management continues to monitor its liquidity position carefully and conducts periodic stress tests to evaluate future potential liquidity concerns in the subsidiary Bank. It has established contingency plans for potential liquidity shortfalls. Longer term, the Company intends to fund asset growth primarily with core deposit growth, and it has initiated a number of organizational changes and programs to spur this growth when needed.

Liquidity for the parent Company depends substantially on dividends from the Bank. The other primary sources of liquidity for the parent Company are capital or borrowings. Management projects that available resources will be sufficient to meet the parent Company’s projected funding needs.

Capital Resources

Intermountain’s total stockholders’ equity was $95.9 million at March 31, 2014, compared with $94.0 million at December 31, 2013, as earnings and a reduction in the unrealized loss on the Company investment portfolio bolstered capital. Stockholders’ equity and tangible stockholders' equity was 10.5% of total assets at March 31, 2014 and 10.00% at December 31, 2013, respectively. Tangible common equity as a percentage of tangible assets was 10.53% at March 31, 2014 and 10.00% for December 31, 2013.

At March 31, 2014, Intermountain had unrealized losses of $431,000 (including cumulative OTTI recognized through other comprehensive income), net of related income taxes, on investments classified as available-for-sale, as compared to unrealized losses of $1.2 million, net of related income taxes, on investments classified as available-for-sale at December 31, 2013. The decrease in the unrealized loss during this time period reflected the positive impact of slightly lower market interest rates on the value of the Company's securities portfolio.

Intermountain issued and has outstanding $16.5 million of Trust Preferred Securities. The indenture governing the Trust Preferred Securities limits the ability of Intermountain under certain circumstances to pay dividends or to make other capital distributions. The Trust Preferred Securities are treated as debt of Intermountain. These Trust Preferred Securities can be called for redemption by the Company at 100% of the aggregate principal plus accrued and unpaid interest. See Note 5 of “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.”

Intermountain and the Bank are required by applicable regulations to maintain certain minimum capital levels and ratios of total and Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets, and of Tier I capital to average assets. Intermountain and the Bank plan to maintain their capital resources and regulatory capital ratios through the retention of earnings and the management of the level and mix of assets. At March 31, 2014, Intermountain exceeded the minimum published regulatory capital requirements to be considered “well-capitalized” pursuant to Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council “FFIEC” regulations. The Company has also evaluated its projected capital position in relation to new higher capital standards issued by federal regulators in 2013, but effective over a phased time period from 2015 through 2020. Based on its initial evaluation, the Company would continue to meet the new higher requirements to be considered "well capitalized" after full phase-in. As with other future estimates, the Company cannot guarantee these future results.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations

The Company, in the conduct of ordinary business operations routinely enters into contracts for services. These contracts may require payment for services to be provided in the future and may also contain penalty clauses for the early termination of the contracts. The Company is also 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. Management does not believe that these off-balance sheet arrangements have a material current effect on the Company’s financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources, but there is no assurance that such arrangements will not have a future effect. There have not been any material changes to the Off Balance Sheet Arrangements or Contractual Obligations since the filing of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.
