Legal Proceedings. The Company's wholly owned banking subsidiary, FIB, was a defendant in a lender liability lawsuit, Kelly Logging Inc. v. First Interstate Bank ("the case"). The case was settled on August 31, 2015. Legal and settlement costs related to the case of $5,000 and $4,000 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, are included in loss contingency expenses in the accompanying statements of income.

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