EXHIBIT 99.1

Intermountain Community Bancorp Reports 2009 Results With Solid Liquidity and 12.6% Total Risk Based Capital Ratio

SANDPOINT, Idaho, Feb. 16, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Intermountain Community Bancorp (OTCBB:IMCB), the holding company for Panhandle State Bank, reported 2009 financial results with solid liquidity, strong increases in customer deposits and lower loan delinquencies. Reflecting the difficult economic environment in the Pacific Northwest, Intermountain reported that following a $36.3 million provision for loan losses, it recorded a net loss applicable to common shareholders of $23.0 million, or $2.75 per common share. In 2008, net income was $1.2 million, or $0.14 per diluted common share, which included $10.4 million in loan loss provision.  For the fourth quarter of 2009, the net loss applicable to common shareholders totaled $8.4 million, or $1.00 per common share, compared to a net loss of $2.9 million, or $0.35 per common share, in the fourth quarter of 2008.

2009 Highlights (at or for the period ended Dec. 31, 2009, compared to Dec. 31, 2008, or September 30, 2009)

• Deposits increased 3.7% year-over-year, and core deposits from local customers account for more than 80% of total deposits.
• Local deposit market share increased in virtually all of the Company's markets in 2009.
• Total Risk Based Capital Ratio was 12.6% and Tier 1 Leverage Ratio was 8.7%.
• Liquidity continues at historically high levels represented by cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, local deposit growth and borrowing line availability.
• Reserves for potential loan losses stood at $16.6 million, or 2.47% of total loans compared to 2.14% a year ago.
• Allowance for loan losses was 87.2% of nonperforming loans (NPL's) up from 60.2% a year ago.
• Asset quality at year end improved from the immediate prior quarter with nonperforming assets (NPAs) to total assets falling to 2.83% from 3.47% the prior quarter and loan delinquencies (30 days past due and over) down to 0.93% of total loans from 1.48%.
• Book value per common share was $7.62 and tangible book value per common share was $6.18 at December 31, 2009.
• All of the initial goals of the bank's outreach and community development program, Powered by Community, have been achieved, including engaging 1,000 community leaders, leveraging 100 community initiatives, and committing 100% employee awareness and volunteer participation. Future efforts will build on these successes, with a strong focus on developing partnerships and new business through local projects.

"In 2009, we saw the most difficult economic conditions in recent memory and banks throughout the nation are stressed. Like many of our peers, our financial results in 2009 were, frankly, far below anything we would have predicted a year ago," said Curt Hecker, Chief Executive Officer. "Fortunately, we have a strong balance sheet, high level of reserves, ample liquidity and a valuable and loyal local deposit base. We believe that we will emerge from this difficult time period a stronger and more resilient institution."

"While all of the markets we serve were impacted by the downturn, some were more affected than others. In fact, some sectors of the greater Boise market fell by as much as 75%, and our loan portfolio suffered significant losses last year," Hecker continued. "We feel we have written down the most vulnerable parts of our loan portfolio aggressively, both by geographic location and by loan type. In addition, we have generally avoided making non-owner occupied commercial real estate loans in those markets in our footprint we believe were overbuilt, and in those types, such as retail strip development and office buildings, that are most vulnerable. Overall, our commercial real estate portfolio is more than 47% owner occupied (including properties where the owner occupies a portion of the building and leases the remainder)."

"Through the diligent and aggressive efforts of our credit workout team, we believe the quality of our asset portfolio was improved at the end of the fourth quarter compared to the prior two quarter ends, with almost every credit quality metric moving in the right direction," said Hecker. "The levels of total classified loans, loan delinquencies, nonperforming assets and other real estate owned all declined from the prior two quarters. While we do not see an immediate upturn on the horizon in our markets, we also do not see the high levels of devaluation in 2010 that we saw last year."

Asset Quality and Credit Review

High unemployment, low consumer confidence and continuing weakness in real estate are still strong influences in the Pacific Northwest economy. Nevertheless, at December 31, 2009, nonperforming loans fell $3.3 million, and total NPAs fell $6.1 million from the preceding quarter. At quarter end, NPAs to total assets fell to 2.83% from 3.47% in the preceding quarter.  Loan delinquencies (30 days or more past due) also declined during the fourth quarter to 0.93% from 1.48% of total loans at the end of the third quarter. 

Residential land and construction assets continue to comprise most of the nonperforming loans and other real estate owned (OREO) totals, reflecting the weakness in the housing market. "Our special assets team is doing a good job of addressing the problems in the overall loan portfolio. They continue to move properties through the collections process and are making steady progress," said Hecker.  The following table summarizes nonperforming assets by geographic region.

Balance Sheet and Loan Portfolio Summary:

Assets totaled $1.08 billion at December 31, 2009, a decrease of 2.3% from a year ago. "As we reconfigure the loan portfolio to reduce concentration and minimize risk, we anticipate that our assets will be flat or down for the next few quarters," said Doug Wright, Chief Financial Officer. The loan portfolio declined 12.9% year-over-year which is a $97.0 million reduction in total loans. The majority of the decline was in residential construction loans, down $68.8 million, commercial construction and land development loans, down $17.0 million and commercial loans, down $10.3 million. Agricultural lending continues to be a positive part of the commercial and commercial real estate loan mix with agricultural operating and real estate loans totaling $110.3 million or 16.4% of the loan portfolio.

In terms of geographic distribution, the majority of the company's loans are in north Idaho, eastern Washington and southwest Idaho outside the Boise area. "Although economic trends and real estate valuations have worsened in these market areas, delinquency levels and price declines have been less significant than in Boise or other areas of the country, and are anticipated to stabilize earlier," commented Hecker. "In particular, our southwest Idaho and Magic Valley markets are largely agricultural areas which have not seen rapid price appreciation or depreciation over the last few years." Through aggressive loan workout efforts, the Company has reduced its exposure to the Boise area market significantly over the last year.

Total deposits increased $28.9 million, or 3.7% in 2009 compared to 2008. In the fourth quarter, however, management intentionally reduced brokered deposits by $21.7 million and collateralized deposits by $9.8 million, which offset $12.2 million growth in other deposits, resulting in a total decline in deposits of $19.3 million. Transaction account deposits comprised 62.1% of total deposits at December 31, 2009, up from 60.2% a year ago. Deposits gathered within the bank's branch footprint increased to $764.9 million at the end of the year, compared to $732.5 million a year ago.

  "One of the most important measures of a bank's franchise value in today's market is the quality of its deposit base and the organization's ability to gain deposit market share in the communities in which it operates. On every measure of deposit quality, we score very well," said Doug Wright, Chief Financial Officer.  "We have the top community bank market share in Northern Idaho, and are the market share leader in 5 of the 11 markets where we operate. We also have a consistent track record of entering new markets and rapidly gaining market share."

"Available-for-sale investments totaled $181.8 million at December 31, 2009, an increase of 23.1% over $147.6 million at December 31, 2008," Wright noted. "We continue to maintain high levels of liquidity on our balance sheet which includes higher levels of liquid marketable securities." The securities portfolio contains $32.2 million in private mortgage-backed securities, for which a $526,000 credit loss impairment was recognized in 2009.  

Stockholders' equity totaled $89.2 million at December 31, 2009, compared to $110.5 million at December 31, 2008. Book value per common share at December 31, 2009, totaled $7.62 compared to $8.63 at September 30, 2009, and $10.24 at December 31, 2008. Tangible book value per common share totaled $6.18 compared to $8.77 at December 31, 2008. Tangible stockholders' equity to tangible assets was 7.22%, down from 8.99% at December 31, 2008. Tangible common equity to tangible assets totaled 4.84%, compared to 6.69% at December 31, 2008. 

Income Statement Summary

Net interest income before provision for loan losses totaled $38.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, down from $43.0 million in 2008. Fourth quarter net interest income before provision was $8.9 million, down from $9.7 million in the third quarter and $9.4 million in the fourth quarter a year ago. Lower interest rates, a more conservative asset mix with more low yielding cash investments and securities, and interest reversals on nonperforming loans impacted net interest income in 2009.

The net interest margin was 3.91% in 2009, compared to 4.50% in 2008. Net interest margin was 3.60%, for the fourth quarter of 2009 compared to 3.91% for the sequential quarter and 3.82% for the same quarter last year. Intermountain's net interest margin continues to be well above the 3.24% average of the banks in the SNL Bank and Thrift Index, despite the impact of reversal of interest on loans placed in non-accrual status or charged down. A 113 basis point drop in the yield on earning assets during the year was partially offset by a 54 basis point drop in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities. The cost on interest bearing liabilities was 1.66% in 2009, which reflects the strong, low-cost funding mix resulting from the high percent of local core deposits in the deposit base. "We anticipate that the margin will stabilize in 2010, as we continue to lower funding costs and the amount of interest reversed on problem loans stabilizes or decreases," noted Wright.

Intermountain recorded a $36.3 million provision for loan loss in 2009, which included a fourth quarter provision of $11.1 million, compared to $10.4 million in 2008 which included a $5.5 million provision in the fourth quarter. Net charge-offs (NCOs) in 2009 totaled $36.2 million or 5.04% of average loans compared to $5.7 million, or 0.75% of average loans in 2008. For the fourth quarter, NCOs were $12.1 million compared to $10.4 million in the third quarter and $2.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2008. "Net charge-offs remained high during the year and the quarter, as we continue to aggressively address the problems in our loan portfolio," noted Hecker. "While we believe that credit costs will remain elevated in 2010, we do not anticipate that they will be of the magnitude we saw in 2009." At December 31, 2009, the allowance for loan loss totaled 2.47% of total loans and 87.2% of nonperforming loans compared to 2.14% of total loans and 60.2% of nonperforming loans a year ago.&#x A0;

Other income in 2009 was $12.0 million, compared to $13.9 million in 2008, reflecting lower gains on sales of securities and lower fee income, as the weak economy impacted deposit fees and secured savings contract income. Other income in the fourth quarter of 2009 was $2.7 million down from $3.1 million for the sequential quarter and $2.9 million for the fourth quarter 2008. 

Operating (non-interest) expenses for 2009 were $49.6 million compared to $45.4 million in 2008. Operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2009 totaled $13.2 million, up from $13.0 million in the third quarter and $12.1 million in the fourth quarter 2008. Higher FDIC insurance premiums, increased expenses and write downs on the OREO portfolio, and higher collection and legal fees on loans produced the increase in overhead in 2009. These expenses totaled $7.8 million in 2009, compared to $1.5 million in 2008. Other non-interest expense, excluding the credit and FDIC costs noted above, declined to $41.9 million in 2009 from $43.9 million in 2008, reflecting the Company's efforts in lowering other controllable expenses.

In particular, employee compensation and benefits expense decreased 11.0% for the year and 3.4% from the sequential quarter, reflecting the cost control efforts implemented during the year. "We are doing more with less at every level of the organization," said Hecker. "In addition, we have eliminated bonuses for executives and management and have reduced overall employee count, primarily through attrition, to reduce costs."
