A LETTER FROM THE CEO

Western is "Your Hometown Bank". We're involved in your part of the world and we not only care about our customers but the entire communities we operate in. Quality of life is best when we all work together!

I encourage you to read our Mission Statement, Core Values and Team Guidelines so you know what kind of organization Western is. If you like what you see, ask us how we can help Make Your Dreams Come True!

You hear most banks talk about being different than their competitors, which is mostly just hype. Generally speaking, financial products are very generic so the only real difference is in the people and the service they provide you. At Western, our employees are owners of the company. If you're like me, I like to deal with people who own the company I'm doing business with. It does make a difference! Stop in today and visit with one of the "Owners" at Western.

We are excited to announce that we have begun another chapter in our history with plans to start a new bank in Arizona in 2008 where we will focus on the southeast valley in the Greater Phoenix area. Our first facility will be located at the corner of Alma School Rd and Chandler Blvd in Chandler.

Thanks to our customers, Western is one of the largest banks in North Dakota with over $360 million in total assets. Our size means we're small enough to fulfill our Vision Statement, yet large enough to offer the latest in technology driven conveniences. Western is a diversified company that also offers all types of insurance and equipment leasing.

If you are a customer of Western, we appreciate your continued trust and support of our company. If you aren't doing business with us yet, we invite you to stop by and check us out because there should be a little courtship before marriage is in the cards!

Best regards,

Brian L. Houkom
Chief Executive Officer
