Explanatory Note: This Amendment #1 to the Form 10-Q of AmericanWest Bancorporation and its wholly owned

contained only loan data by category for the AWBCs larger subsidiary, AmericanWest Bank. Data for AWBCs other banking subsidiary, Bank of Latah, was inadvertently omitted. The corrected Note 4 is presented in its entirety below:
