NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
June 30, 2007 and 2006
(unaudited)
June 30, 2007 and 2006
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared by Northrim BanCorp, Inc. (the
Company) in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America (GAAP) and with instructions to Form 10-Q under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for
complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Certain
reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts to maintain consistency with the current
year with no impact on net income or total shareholders equity. Operating results for the interim
period ended June 30, 2007, are not necessarily indicative of the results anticipated for the year
ending December 31, 2007. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.
2. STOCK REPURCHASE
In June 2007, the Board of Directors of the Company amended the stock repurchase plan (Plan) to
increase the stock in its repurchase program by an additional 305,029, or 5%, of total shares
outstanding. In the three-month period ending June 30, 2007, the Company repurchased 37,500
shares, which brought the total shares repurchased under this program to 588,442 shares since its
inception at a total cost of $11.8 million at an average price of $20.09. As a result, there were
327,242 shares remaining under the Plan at June 30, 2007. The Company intends to continue to
repurchase its common stock from time to time depending upon market conditions, but it can make no
assurances that it will repurchase all of the shares authorized for repurchase under the Plan.
3. ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
There were no accounting pronouncements issued between April 1, 2007 and June 30, 2007 that apply
to the Company.
4. LENDING ACTIVITIES

- 8 -
Table of Contents
The Company maintains an Allowance for Loan Losses (the Allowance) to absorb losses from its loan
portfolio. On a quarterly basis, the Company uses three methods to analyze the Allowance by taking
percentage allocations for criticized and classified assets, in addition to a specific allowance
for impaired loans, making percentage allocations based upon its internal risk classifications and
other specifically identified portions of its loan portfolio, and using ratio analysis and peer
comparisons.
The Allowance for Loan Losses is decreased by loan charge-offs and increased by loan recoveries and
provisions for loan losses. The Company took a provision for loan losses in the amount of $1.3
million for the three-month period ending June 30, 2007 to account for increases in nonperforming
loans, loan charge-offs, and the specific allowance for impaired loans. The following table details
activity in the Allowance for the periods indicated:

At June 30, 2007, December 31, 2006, and June 30, 2006, the Company had loans measured for
impairment of $25 million, $32 million, and $21.1 million, respectively. A specific allowance of
$3.0 million, $4.3 million, and $3.1 million, respectively, was established for these periods. The
decrease in loans measured for impairment at June 30, 2007, as compared to December 31, 2006,
resulted mainly

from the payoff of one commercial real estate project that was included in loans
measured for impairment at December 31, 2006 and June 30, 2006. In addition, the Company charged
off two commercial loans totaling $1.5 million at June 30, 2007 that were included in loans
measured for impairment at December 31, 2006. In contrast, the increase in loans measured for
impairment at December 31, 2006, as compared to June 30, 2006, resulted mainly from the addition of
three commercial loan relationships, one land development relationship, and additional advances on
one commercial real estate project.
6. INVESTMENT SECURITIES
Investment securities, which include Federal Home Loan Bank stock, totaled $79.4 million at June
30, 2007, a decrease of $20.9 million, or 21%, from $100.3 million at December 31, 2006, and an
increase of $20.9 million, or 36%, from $58.5 million at June 30, 2006. Investment securities
designated as available for sale comprised 83% of the investment portfolio at June 30, 2007, 87% at
December 31, 2006, and 81% at June 30, 2006, and are available to meet liquidity requirements.
Both available for sale and held to maturity securities may be pledged as collateral to secure
public deposits. At June 30, 2007, $21.4 million in securities, or 27%, of the investment portfolio
was pledged, as compared to $16 million, or 16%, at December 31, 2006, and $14.3 million, or 24%,
at June 30, 2006.
7. OTHER OPERATING INCOME
In December of 2005, the Company, through Northrim Capital Investments Co. (NCIC), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Northrim Bank, purchased an additional 40.1% interest in Northrim Benefits Group, LLC
(NBG), which brought its ownership interest in this company to 50.1%. As a result of this
increase in ownership, the Company now consolidates the balance sheet and income statement of NBG
into its financial statements and notes the minority interest in this subsidiary as a separate line
item on its financial statements. In the three-month periods ending June 30, 2007 and 2006, the
Company included employee benefit plan income from NBG of $314,000 and $385,000, respectively, in
its Other Operating Income. In the six-month periods ending June 30, 2007 and 2006, the Company
included employee benefit plan income from NBG of $571,000 and $588,000, respectively, in Other
Operating Income.
Residential Mortgage, LLC (RML) was formed in 1998 and has offices throughout Alaska. During the
third quarter of 2004, RML reorganized and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of a newly formed
holding company, Residential Mortgage Holding Company, LLC (RML Holding Company). In this
process, RML Holding Company acquired another mortgage company, Pacific Alaska Mortgage Company.
Prior to the reorganization, the Company, through NCIC, owned a 30% interest in the profits and
losses of RML. Following the reorganization, the Companys interest in RML Holding Company
decreased to 23.5%. In the three-month period ending June 30, 2007, the Companys earnings from
RML increased by $26,000 to $174,000 as compared to $148,000 for the three-month period ending June
30, 2006. In the six-month period ending June 30, 2007, the Companys earnings from RML Holding
Company increased by $33,000 to $188,000 as compared to $155,000 for the six-month period ending
June 30, 2006. In both the three and six-month periods ending June 30, 2007, the increase in
earnings resulted from RMLs income increasing slightly more than its expenses.
The Company owns a 47% equity interest in Elliott Cove Capital Management LLC (Elliott Cove), an
investment advisory services company, through its whollyowned subsidiary, Northrim Investment
Services Company (NISC). Elliott Cove began active operations in the fourth quarter of 2002 and
has had losses since that time as it continues to build its assets under management. In addition
to its ownership interest, the Company provides Elliot Cove with a line of credit that has a
commitment amount of $750,000 and an outstanding balance of $741,000 as of June 30, 2007.
The Companys share of the loss from Elliott Cove for the second quarter of 2007 was $18,000, as
compared to a loss of $62,000 in the second quarter of 2006. In the six-month period ending June
30, 2007, the Companys share of the loss from Elliott Cove was $51,000 as compared to a loss of
$139,000 for the six-month period ending June 30, 2006. The loss that the Company realized on its
investment in Elliott Cove decreased for both the three and six-month periods ending June 30, 2007
as compared to the
- 10 -
Table of Contents
same periods in 2006 as Elliott Cove continued to increase its assets under
management which caused its income to increase more than its expenses and resulted in a lower
operating loss.
In the first quarter of 2006, through NISC, the Company purchased a 24% interest in Pacific Wealth
Advisors, LLC (PWA). PWA is a holding company that owns Pacific Portfolio Consulting, LLC
(PPC) and Pacific Portfolio Trust Company (PPTC). PPC is an investment advisory company with
an existing client base while PPTC is a start-up operation. During the three-month period ending
June 30, 2007, the Company incurred a loss of $19,000 on its investment in PWA as compared to a
loss of $36,000 for the three-month period ending June 30, 2006. The decrease in the Companys
share of PWA losses for this period is the result of increased client fees earned on PWAs growing
client base. These revenues were partially offset by increased expenses. In the six-month period
ending June 30, 2007, the Company incurred a loss of $71,000 on its investment in PWA as compared
to a loss of $48,000 in the six-month period ending June 30, 2006. The increase in the Companys
share of losses for this period is primarily due to the fact that the Company recorded only five
months of losses in 2006 as compared to six months of losses in 2007. The Company records its
income and losses from affiliates on a one-month lagged basis. Since the Company purchased its
interest in PWA in January of 2006, it only recorded five months of activity for PWA through June
30, 2006. The losses that the Company incurs on its investment in PWA reduce other income during
the respective periods. The losses from PWA and Elliott Cove were offset by commissions that the
Company receives for its sales of Elliot Cove investment products, which are accounted for as other
operating income. Furthermore, the Company expects to incur losses over the next several years as
PWA builds the customer base of its combined operations.
8. DEPOSIT ACTIVITIES
The Alaska Permanent Fund Corporation may invest in certificates of deposit at Alaska banks in an
aggregate amount with respect to each bank, not to exceed its capital and at specified rates and
terms. The depository bank must collateralize the deposit. At June 30, 2007, the Company held no
certificates of deposit for the Alaska Permanent Fund Corporation. In contrast, at June 30, 2006,
the Company held $15 million in certificates of deposit for the Alaska Permanent Fund Corporation.
9. STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN
The Company has set aside 315,000 shares of authorized stock for the 2004 Stock Incentive Plan
(2004 Plan) under which it may grant stock options and restricted stock units. The Companys
policy is to issue new shares to cover awards. The total number of shares under the 2004 Plan and
previous stock incentive plans at June 30, 2007 was 425,917, which includes 137,124 shares granted
under the 2004 Plan leaving 177,876 shares available for future awards. Under the 2004 Plan,
certain key employees have been granted the option to purchase set amounts of common stock at the
market price on the day the option was granted. Optionees, at their own discretion, may cover the
cost of exercise through the exchange, at then fair market value, of already owned shares of the
Companys stock. Options are granted for a 10-year period and vest on a pro rata basis over the
initial three years from grant. In addition to stock options, the Company has granted restricted
stock units to certain key employees under the 2004 Plan. These restricted stock grants cliff vest
at the end of a three-year time period.
The Company recognized expenses of $55,000 and $29,000 on the fair value of restricted stock units
and $83,000 and $53,000 on the fair value of stock options for a total of $138,000 and $82,000 in
stock-based compensation expense for the three-month periods ending June 30, 2007 and 2006,
respectively.
For the six-month periods ending June 30, 2007 and 2006, the Company recognized expense of $110,000
and $58,000, respectively, on the fair value of restricted stock units and $167,000 and $147,000,
respectively, on the fair value of stock options for a total of $277,000 and $205,000,
respectively, in stock-based compensation expense.
The Company withheld $140,000 and $198,000 to pay for stock option exercises or income taxes that
resulted from the exercise of stock options for the three-month periods ending June 30, 2007 and
2006, respectively,
- 11 -

and $135,000 and $275,000 for the six-month periods ending June 30, 2007 and
2006, respectively. The Company recognized tax deductions of $25,000 and $191,000 related to the
exercise of these stock options during the quarter ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and
$32,000 and $219,000 for the six-month periods ending June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

SUMMARY OF SECOND QUARTER RESULTS
At June 30, 2007, the Company had assets of $947.3 million and gross portfolio loans of $700.1
million, an increase of 8% and a decrease of 4%, respectively, as compared to the balances for
these accounts at June 30, 2006. As compared to balances at December 31, 2006, total assets at
June 30, 2007 increased by 2% and total loans at June 30, 2007 decreased by 2%. The Companys net
income and diluted earnings per share at June 30, 2007, were $3.1 million and $0.51, respectively,
an increase of 7% and 9%, respectively, as compared to the same period in 2006. For the quarter
ended June 30, 2007, the Companys net interest income increased $861,000, or 7%, its provision for
loan losses increased $473,000, or 55%, its other operating income
- 13 -
Table of Contents
increased $719,000, or 37%, and its other operating expenses increased $909,000, or 12%, as
compared to the second quarter a year ago.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
NET INCOME
Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2007, was $3.1 million, or $0.51 per diluted share,
increases of 7% and 9%, respectively, as compared to net income of $2.9 million and diluted
earnings per share of $0.47, respectively, for the second quarter of 2006.
Net income for the six months ending June 30, 2007, was $5.9 million, an increase of $37,000, or
1%, from $5.8 million for the six months ending June 30, 2006. Diluted earnings per share were
$0.94 for each of the six-month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006.
The increase in net income for the three-month period ending June 30, 2007 as compared to the same
period a year ago was partially the result of an increase in earning assets and higher growth of
interest income as opposed to interest expense. This increase in net interest income in the
quarter ended June 30, 2007 was partially offset by a $473,000 increase in the provision for loan
losses as compared to the same period in 2006. This increase in the provision for loan losses was
a result of an increase in nonperforming loans during the three-month period ending June 30, 2007
as compared to the three-month period ending June 30, 2006. The increase in net income for the
quarter ended June 30, 2007 as compared to the same period a year ago was also partially the result
of a $402,000 increase in service charges on deposit accounts, $377,000 of which is attributable to
the April 2007 implementation of a new non-sufficient funds fee on point-of-sale transactions.
Finally, salaries and benefits increased by $490,000, or 10%, for the three-month period ending
June 30, 2007 as compared to the same period a year ago, due in large part to salary increases
driven by competitive pressures. Due to the tight labor market in the Companys major markets and
ongoing competition for employees, the Company expects further increases in salaries and benefits.
The increase in earnings per diluted share for the second quarter of 2007 as compared to the second
quarter of 2006 was due in part to the increase in net income and also due to a decrease in the
number of shares of common stock outstanding as a result of the Companys repurchase of 37,500
shares in the second quarter of 2007.
Net income increased moderately and diluted earnings per share were flat for the six-month period
ending June 30, 2007 when compared to net income and earnings per share for the six-month period
ending June 30, 2006. Net interest income increased by $1.7 million, or 7%, to $24.5 million as
compared to $22.8 million for the same period ending June 30, 2006. This increase in net interest
income in the six-month period ending June 30, 2007 was partially offset by an $874,000, or 96%,
increase in the provision for loan losses for the six-month period ending June 30, 2007 as compared
to the same period in 2006. Other operating income for the six-month period ended June 30, 2007
increased by $953,000, or 28%, to $4.3 million as compared to $3.4 million for the same period in
2006 due largely to increased service charges on deposits and purchased receivable income. The
increase in other operating income in the six-month period ended June 30, 2007 was offset in part
by a $1.9 million increase in other operating expenses that was caused mainly by increases in
salary and benefit costs, a loss on one purchased receivable account, tax and audit fees, and
internet banking fees as compared to the same period a year ago. Earnings per diluted share for
the six-month period ending June 30, 2007 were flat as compared to the same period in 2006.
NET INTEREST INCOME
The primary component of income for most financial institutions is net interest income, which
represents the institutions interest income from loans and investment securities minus interest
expense, ordinarily on deposits and other interest bearing liabilities. Net interest income for the
second quarter of 2007 increased $861,000, or 7%, to $12.4 million from $11.5 million in the second
quarter of 2006, as a result of the increase in earning assets and higher growth of interest income
as opposed to interest expense. Net interest income for the six-month period ending June 30, 2007
increased $1.7 million, or 7%, to $24.5 million from $22.8 million in the same period in 2006 due
to the same factors that affected net interest income in the three-month period

consumer loans increased by $2.4 million, $4.5 million, and
$6.3 million, respectively, on average as compared to the six-month period ending June 30, 2006.
Commercial real estate loans decreased $12.4 million on average between the six-month periods
ending June 30, 2007 and June 30, 2006. The decline in the loan portfolio in general and the
commercial real estate area in particular resulted from a combination of refinance activity and the
payoff of one large commercial real estate project. We expect the loan portfolio to grow slightly
in the future with moderate growth in the commercial loans, further declines in commercial real
estate, decreases in construction loans, and further increases in consumer loans as we sell more
consumer loans to the larger consumer account base that we have developed with the High Performance
Checking (HPC) product. The decrease in the commercial real estate area is expected to continue
due to additional refinance activity and competitive pressures. Residential construction activity
in Anchorage, the Companys largest market, is expected to continue to decline in 2007 due to a
decline in available building lots and sales activity. While the Company believes it has offset a
portion of this effect by acquiring additional residential construction customers, it expects that
the real estate markets in Anchorage, the Matanuska-Susitna Valley, and the Fairbanks areas will
continue to decrease from the prior year and lead to an overall decline in its construction loans.
The tax equivalent yield on the loan portfolio averaged 9.44% for the second quarter of 2007, an
increase of 42 basis points from 9.02% over the same quarter a year ago. During the six-month
period ending June 30, 2007, the tax equivalent yield on the loan portfolio averaged 9.49%, an
increase of 60 basis points from 8.89% over the same six-month period in 2006.
Interest-bearing liabilities averaged $625.2 million for the second quarter of 2007, an increase of
$22.6 million, or 4%, compared to $602.6 million for the same period in 2006. The average cost of
interest-bearing liabilities increased 23 basis points to 3.84% for the second quarter of 2007
compared to 3.61% for the second quarter of 2006. During the six-month period ending June 30,
2007, the average cost of interest bearing-liabilities increased 44 basis points to 3.87% as
compared to 3.43% for the same six-month period in 2006. The average cost of funds has increased
in response to interest rate increases by the Federal Reserve in the first half of 2006. The
Federal Reserve has not increased short-term interest rates since June of 2006, which decreased the
pressure on the Companys net interest margin.
The Companys net interest income as a percentage of average interest-earning assets (net
tax-equivalent margin) was 5.94% for the second quarter of 2007 and 5.82% for the same period in
2006. During the six-month period ending June 30, 2007, the Companys net tax equivalent margin
was 5.99% and 5.81% for the same period in 2006. During the second quarter of 2007, the yield on
the Companys loans increased at a faster rate than its deposit costs as the increases in the Prime
Rate of interest that occurred earlier in 2006 resulted in higher yields on the Companys
commercial, commercial real estate, and construction loans in 2007. In addition, the average
amount of non-interest bearing demand deposits, other liabilities and equity totaled $301.9 million
at June 30, 2007, as compared to $271 million at June 30, 2006. These balances had the effect of
further dampening the deposit rate increases, which lowered the overall increase in the Companys
cost of funds and contributed to the increase in its net tax equivalent margin when comparing the
second quarter ended June 30, 2007 to the same period in 2006. Finally, the Company had net
recoveries of $98,000 in interest on non-accrual loans, which had the effect of increasing its net
tax-equivalent margin by 5 basis points.

Total other operating income for the second quarter of 2007 was $2.7 million, an increase of
$719,000 from $2.0 million in the second quarter of 2006. During the six-month period ending June
30, 2007, total other operating income was $4.3 million, an increase of $953,000 from the same
six-month period in 2006. These increases are due primarily to increases in income from service
charges on deposit accounts and continued growth in the Companys purchased receivable products.
Service charges on the Companys deposit accounts increased by $402,000, or 82%, to $892,000 in the
second quarter of 2007 from $490,000 in the same period a year ago. During the six-month period
ending June 30, 2007, deposit service charges increased $422,000, or 43%, to $1.4 million compared
to the same six-month period in 2006. This increase results primarily from the April 2007
implementation of non-sufficient funds (NSF) fees on point-of-sale transactions. The new
point-of-sale NSF fees represent $377,000 of both the three and six-month period increases in
service charges.
Income from the Companys purchased receivable products increased by $196,000, or 43%, to $649,000
in the second quarter of 2007 from $453,000 in the same period a year ago. During the six-month
period ending June 30, 2007, income from purchased receivable products increased by $310,000, or
40%, to $1.1 million from $766,000 in the same six-month period in 2006. The Company uses these
products to purchase accounts receivable from its customers and provide them with working capital
for their businesses. While the customers are responsible for collecting these receivables, the
Company mitigates this risk with extensive monitoring of the customers transactions and control of
the proceeds from the collection process. The Company earns income from the purchased receivable
product by charging finance charges to its customers for the purchase of their accounts receivable
and it recognizes the income and fees over the life of the accounts receivable in accordance with
the provision of FASB Statement No. 91, Accounting for Nonrefundable Fees and Costs Associated with
Originating or Acquiring Loans and Initial Direct Costs of Leases (SFAS 91). The income from this
product has grown as the Company has used it to purchase more receivables from its customers. The
Company expects the income level from this product to show growth on a year-over-year comparative
basis as the Company increases this line of business at NFS, as it continues to increase its market
share.
During the second quarter of 2007, the Company included employee benefit plan income from NBG of
$314,000 in its other operating income, a decrease of $71,000, or 18%, compared to the same quarter
in 2006. During the six-month period ending June 30, 2007, income from NBG increased by $13,000,
or 2%, from $558,000 to $571,000.
The Companys electronic banking revenue increased by $35,000 and $48,000 or 18% and 13%, to
$227,000 and $410,000, respectively, for the three and six-month periods ending June 30, 2007 from
$192,000 and $362,000, respectively, in the same periods a year ago. As the Company increased the
number of its deposit
- 17 -
Table of Contents
accounts through the marketing of the HPC product, it also sold additional services to these new
accounts, which helped it to increase its electronic banking revenues.
The Companys share of the earnings from its 23.5% interest in its mortgage affiliate increased by
$26,000 to $174,000 during the second quarter of 2007 as compared to $148,000 in the second quarter
of 2006. In the six-month period ended June 30, 2007, the Companys earnings from its mortgage
affiliate increased by $33,000 to $188,000 as compared to earnings of $155,000 for the six-month
period ended June 30, 2006. In both the three and six-month periods ending June 30, 2007, the
increase in earnings resulted from RMLs income increasing slightly more than its expenses.
The Companys share of the loss from Elliott Cove decreased to $18,000 for the second quarter of
2007 as compared to a loss of $62,000 for the same period in 2006. In the six-month period ended
June 30, 2007, the Companys share of the loss from Elliott Cove was $51,000 as compared to a loss
of $139,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2006. The Company expects income from Elliot
Cove to continue to increase as it continues to increase its assets under management.
Other income, as broken out on the table above, increased by $66,000, or 68%, in the second quarter
of 2007 to $163,000 from $97,000 for the same period in 2006. During the six-month period ending
June 30, 2007, other income was $263,000, an increase of $26,000, or 11%, from the same six-month
period in 2006. Contributing to both the three and six-month increases was a $28,000 gain on the
sale of other real estate owned. Additionally, for the three and six-month periods ending June 30,
2007, the Company incurred losses of $19,000 and $71,000, respectively on its investment in PWA as
compared to losses of $36,000 and $48,000 during the same periods in 2006. The decrease in the
Companys share of PWA losses for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 as compared to the same quarter
in 2006 is the result of increased client fees earned on PWAs growing client base. These revenues
were partially offset by increased expenses. The increase in the Companys share of losses for the
six-month period ended June 30, 2007 as compared to the same period in 2006 is primarily due to the
fact that the Company recorded only five months of losses in 2006 as compared to six months in
2007. The Company records its income and losses from affiliates on a one-month lagged basis.
Since the Company purchased its interest in PWA in January of 2006, it only recorded five months of
activity for PWA through June 30, 2006. The Company expects to incur losses on its investment in
PWA over the next several years as PWA builds the customer base of its combined operations.
Finally, the Company receives commissions for the sale of the Elliott Cove investment products.
These commissions are included in other income. During the second quarter of 2007, Elliott Cove
commissions increased by $22,000, or 44%, to $74,000 from $51,000 in the same period in 2006. In
the six-month period ending June 30, 2007, Elliott Cove commissions increased by $45,000, or 48%,
to $140,000 from $95,000 in the same period in 2006.

Total other operating expense for the second quarter of 2007 was $8.6 million, an increase of
$909,000, or 12%, from $7.7 million for the same period in 2006. During the six-month period
ending June 30, 2007, total operating expense was $17.5 million, an increase of $1.8 million, or
12%, for the same six-month period in 2006.
Salaries and benefits increased by $490,000 and $980,000, or 10% each, for the three and six-month
periods ending June 30, 2007 as compared to the same periods a year ago, due in large part to
salary increases driven by competitive pressures. Due to the tight labor market in the Companys
major markets and ongoing competition for employees, the Company expects further increases in
salaries and benefits.
Occupancy expense increased by $23,000 and $80,000, or 4% and 6%, for the three and six-month
periods ending June 30, 2007 as compared to the same periods a year ago, due in part to an increase
in amortization of leasehold improvements at a new branch and increased rental costs at the
Companys headquarters facility.
Marketing expenses increased by $25,000, or 6%, for the three-month period ending June 30, 2007 as
compared to the same period a year ago. During the six-month period ending June 30, 2007,
marketing expenses decreased $24,000, or 3%, as compared to the same period a year ago as the
Company incurred lower marketing costs in the first quarter of 2007 as compared to the first
quarter of 2006, which led to lower six-month period costs in 2007 as compared to the same period
in 2006. The Company has continued to market its HPC consumer products as it has since the second
quarter of 2005 and expects to incur similar marketing costs for this product in the third quarter
of 2007. Moreover, the Company began marketing its HPC for business products in the first quarter
of 2007 and expects to incur increased marketing costs for this new product in 2007. The Company
also expects that the Bank will increase its deposit accounts and balances as it continues to
implement the HPC Program over the next year. Furthermore, the Company expects that the additional
deposit accounts will continue to generate increased fee income that will offset a majority of the
increased marketing costs associated with the HPC Program.
Professional and outside services increased by $89,000 and $183,000, or 50% and 57%, respectively,
for the three and six-month periods ending June 30, 2007 as compared to the same period a year ago.
The majority of the increases for both periods were due to higher tax and audit fees.
Other expense, as broken out in the table above, increased by $294,000 and $424,000, or 22% and
15%, for the three and six-month periods ending June 30, 2007 as compared to the same periods a
year ago. The largest of these increases, $83,000 and $163,000 for the three and six-month periods
ending June 30, 2007, respectively, is attributable to increased internet banking expenses arising
from a system conversion. Other categories contributing to the overall increase in other expenses
include operational losses, education expenses, and
amortization expense for the Companys low income housing partnership. Each of these items
- 19 -
Table of Contents
caused
other expenses for the three-month period ending June 30, 2007 to increase by $78,000, $51,000 and
$54,000, respectively, as compared to other expenses for the period ending June 30, 2006. Each of
these items caused other expenses for the six-month period ending June 30, 2007 to increase
$82,000, $108,000, and $139,000, respectively, as compared to other expenses for the period ending
June 30, 2006.
Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes was $1.9 million for the second quarters of both 2007 and 2006. The
effective tax rates for the second quarter of 2007 and 2006 were 37% and 39%, respectively. The
decrease in the tax rate is due in part to an increase in available tax credits arising from the
Companys investments in low income housing partnerships. The Company expects that its tax rate
for the rest of 2007 will be approximately similar to the tax rate of the second quarter of this
year. The provision for income taxes was $3.5 million for the first six months of 2007, a
decrease of $152,000, or 4% from the $3.6 million provision for income taxes for the same period in
2006. The effective tax rates for the first six months of 2007 and 2006 were 37% and 38%,
respectively, with the difference in tax rates also attributable to increases in available tax
credits arising from the Companys investments in low income housing partnerships.
CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION
ASSETS
Loans and Lending Activities
General: Our loan products include short- and medium-term commercial loans, commercial credit
lines, construction and real estate loans, and consumer loans. From our inception, we have
emphasized commercial, land development and home construction, and commercial real estate lending.
These types of lending have provided us with market opportunities and higher net interest margins
than other types of lending. However, they also involve greater risks, including greater exposure
to changes in local economic conditions, than certain other types of lending.
Loans are the highest yielding component of our earning assets. Average loans declined by $6.1
million, or 1%, to $719.6 million in the second quarter of 2007 as compared to $725.8 million in
the same period of 2006. Loans comprised 86% of total average earning assets for the quarter ending
June 30, 2007, compared to 91% of total average earning assets for the quarter ending June 30,
2006. The yield on loans averaged 9.44% for the quarter ended June 30, 2007, compared to 9.02%
during the same period in 2006.
The loan portfolio decreased by $28 million, or 4% from $728.1 million at June 30, 2006 to $700.1
million at June 30, 2007. Loans decreased by $16.9 million, or 2%, from $717.1 million at December
31, 2006, to $700.1 million at June 30, 2007. Commercial loans decreased $26 million, or 8%,
commercial real estate loans decreased $6.2 million, or 3%, construction loans decreased $1.5
million, or 1%, and consumer loans increased $6.4 million, or 17%, from June 30, 2006 to June 30,
2007. In addition, commercial loans decreased $581,000, or less than 1%, commercial real estate
loans decreased $5.1 million, or 2%, construction loans decreased $14.7 million, or 10%, and
consumer loans increased $2.5 million, or 6%, from December 31, 2006 to June 30, 2007. The decline
in the loan portfolio in general resulted from a combination of refinance activity and the payoff
of one large commercial real estate project. We expect the loan portfolio to grow slightly in the
future with moderate growth in commercial loans, further declines in commercial real estate,
decreases in construction loans, and further increases in consumer loans as we sell more consumer
loans to the larger consumer account base that we have developed with the HPC product. The decrease
in the commercial real estate area is expected to continue due to additional refinance activity and
competitive pressures. Residential construction activity in Anchorage, the Companys largest
market, is expected to continue to decline in 2007 due to a decline in available building lots and
sales activity. While the Company believes it has offset a portion of this effect by acquiring
additional residential construction customers, it expects that the real estate
markets in Anchorage, the Matanuska-Susitna Valley, and the Fairbanks areas will continue to
decrease from the prior year and lead to an overall decline in its construction loans.

Table of Contents
Loan Portfolio Composition: Loans decreased to $700.1 million at June 30, 2007, from $717.1 million
at December 31, 2006 and $728.1 million at June 30, 2006. At June 30, 2007, 51% of the portfolio
was scheduled to mature over the next 12 months, and 24% was scheduled to mature between July 1,
2008, and June 30, 2012. Future growth in loans is generally dependent on new loan demand and
deposit growth, and is constrained by the Companys policy of being well-capitalized. In
addition, the fact that 51% of the loan portfolio is scheduled to mature in the next 12 months
poses an added risk to the Companys efforts to increase its loan totals as it attempts to renew or
replace these maturing loans.

Nonaccrual, Accruing Loans 90 Days or More Past Due and Restructured Loans: The Companys
financial statements are prepared based on the accrual basis of accounting, including recognition
of interest income on the Companys loan portfolio, unless a loan is placed on a nonaccrual basis.
For financial reporting purposes, amounts received on nonaccrual loans generally will be applied
first to principal and then to interest only after all principal has been collected.
Restructured loans are those for which concessions, including the reduction of interest rates below
a rate otherwise available to that borrower, have been granted due to the borrowers weakened
financial
condition. Interest on restructured loans will be accrued at the restructured rates when it is
anticipated that no loss of original principal will occur and the interest can be collected.

Total nonperforming loans at June 30, 2007, were $9.9 million, or 1.41%, of total portfolio loans,
an increase of $3.3 million from $6.6 million at December 31, 2006, and an increase of $3.4 million
from $6.5 million at June 30, 2006. The increase in the nonperforming loans in the second quarter
of 2007 from the end of 2006 was due in large part to a $3.9 million increase in accruing loans
that were 90 days or more past due. The Company plans to continue to devote resources to resolve
its nonperforming loans, and it continues to write down assets to their estimated fair market value
when they are in a non-performing status, which is accounted for through the calculation of the
Allowance for Loan Losses.
At June 30, 2007, December 31, 2006, and June 30, 2006, the Company had loans measured for
impairment of $25 million, $32 million, and $21.1 million, respectively. A specific allowance of
$3.0 million, $4.3 million, and $3.1 million, respectively, was established for these periods. The
decrease in loans measured for impairment at June 30, 2007, as compared to December 31, 2006,
resulted mainly from the payoff of one commercial real estate project that was included in loans
measured for impairment at December 31, 2006 and June 30, 2006. In addition, the Company charged
off two commercial loans totaling $1.5 million at June 30, 2007 that were included in loans
measured for impairment at December 31, 2006. In contrast, the increase in loans measured for
impairment at December 31, 2006, as compared to June 30, 2006, resulted mainly from the addition of
three commercial loan relationships, one land development relationship, and additional advances on
one commercial real estate project.
Potential Problem Loans: At June 30, 2007 the Company had $7.1 million in potential problem loans,
as compared to $6.2 million at June 30, 2006 as a result of adding four loans to the listing of
potential problem loans and deleting four loans from this list during the quarter. The four loans
that were added totaled $5.9 million while the four loans that were deleted also totaled $5.9
million. At December 31, 2006, the Company had potential problem loans of $6.4 million.
Potential problem loans are loans which are currently performing and are not included in
nonaccrual, accruing loans 90 days or more past due, or restructured loans at the end of the
applicable period, about which the Company has developed doubts as to the borrowers ability to
comply with present repayment terms and which may later be included in nonaccrual, past due, or
restructured loans.
Analysis of Allowance for Loan Losses and Loan Loss Provision: The Company maintains an Allowance
for Loan Losses to recognize inherent and probable losses from its loan portfolio. On a quarterly
basis, the Company uses three methods to analyze the Allowance by taking percentage allocations for
criticized and classified assets in addition to a specific allowance for impaired loans, making
percentage allocations based upon its internal risk classifications and other specifically
identified portions of its loan portfolio, and using ratio analysis and peer comparisons.
The Allowance for Loan Losses was $11.8 million, or 1.69% of total portfolio loans outstanding, at
June 30, 2007, compared to $11.6 million, or 1.59%, of total portfolio loans at June 30, 2006 and
$12.1 million, or 1.69% of portfolio loans, at December 31, 2006. The Allowance for Loan Losses
represented 120% of non-performing loans at June 30, 2007, as compared to 177% of nonperforming
loans at June 30, 2006 and 183% of nonperforming loans at December 31, 2006.

Table of Contents
The Allowance for Loan Losses is decreased for loan charge-offs and increased for loan recoveries
and provisions for loan losses. The Company took a provision for loan losses in the amount of $1.3
million for the three-month period ending June 30, 2007 to account for increases in non-performing
loans, loan charge-offs, and the specific allowance for impaired loans. The following table details
activity in the Allowance for Loan Losses for the dates indicated:

The provision for loan losses for the three-month period ending June 30, 2007 was $1.3 million
as compared to a provision for loan losses of $860,000 for the three-month period ending June 30,
2006. During the three-month period ending June 30, 2007, there were $1.3 million in net loan
charge-offs as compared to $149,000 of net loan charge-offs for the same period in 2006. The
increase in loan recoveries, from $111,000 for the three-month period ending June 30, 2006 to
$334,000 for the three-month period ending June 30, 2007 was due to one recovery on a construction
relationship and two recoveries on commercial loan relationships. Loan charge-offs increased during
this same time period from $260,000 for the three-month period ending June 30, 2006 to $1.7 million
for the three-month period ending June 30, 2007, primarily due to the charge-off of one commercial
loan and one commercial real estate loan that together totaled $1.5 million.
Management believes that, based on its review of the performance of the loan portfolio and the
various methods it uses to analyze its Allowance for Loan Losses, at June 30, 2007 the Allowance
for Loan Losses was adequate to cover losses in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date.
Investment Securities
Investment securities, which include Federal Home Loan Bank stock, totaled $79.4 million at June
30, 2007, a decrease of $20.9 million, or 21%, from $100.3 million at December 31, 2006, and an
increase of $20.9 million, or 36%, from $58.5 million at June 30, 2006. Investment securities
designated as available for sale comprised 83% of the investment portfolio at June 30, 2007, 87% at
December 31, 2006, and 81% at June 30, 2006, and are available to meet liquidity requirements.
Both available for sale and held to maturity securities may be pledged as collateral to secure
public deposits. At June 30, 2007, $21.4 million in securities, or 27%, of the investment portfolio
was pledged, as compared to $16 million, or 16%, at December 31, 2006, and $14.3 million, or 24%,
at June 30, 2006.
LIABILITIES
- 23 -
Table of Contents
Deposits
General: Deposits are the Companys primary source of funds. Total deposits increased $12.9
million to $807.8 million at June 30, 2007, from $794.9 million at December 31, 2006, and increased
$46.9 million from $760.8 million at June 30, 2006. The Companys deposits generally are expected
to fluctuate according to the level of the Companys market share, economic conditions, and normal
seasonal trends. As mentioned earlier, as the Bank continues to implement its HPC Program, the
Company expects increases in the number of deposit accounts and the balances associated with them.
Moreover, as the balances in these HPC accounts and other deposit accounts have increased, the
Company has allowed other funds held in the form of certificates of deposit for agencies of the
State of Alaska to mature and be replaced by other core deposits.
Certificates of Deposit: The only deposit category with stated maturity dates is certificates of
deposit. At June 30, 2007, the Company had $94.6 million in certificates of deposit as compared to
certificates of deposit of $96.3 million and $85.9 million, for the periods ending June 30, 2006
and December 31, 2006, respectively. At June 30, 2007, $58.9 million, or 62%, of the Companys
certificates of deposits are scheduled to mature over the next 12 months as compared to $59.4
million, or 69%, of total certificates of deposit, at December 31, 2006, and to $75.7 million, or
79%, of total certificates of deposit at June 30, 2006.
Alaska Certificates of Deposit: The Alaska Certificate of Deposit (Alaska CD) is a savings
deposit product with an open-ended maturity, interest rate that adjusts to an index that is tied to
the two-year United States Treasury Note, and limited withdrawals. The total balance in the Alaska
CD at June 30, 2007, was $181.2 million, a decrease of $22.2 million as compared to the balance of
$203.4 million at June 30, 2006 and a decrease of $26.3 million from a balance of $207.5 million at
December 31, 2006. The Company expects the total balance of the Alaska CD in 2007 to continue to be
at lower levels as compared to 2006 as customers move into higher yielding accounts such as term
certificates of deposit or other money market accounts.
Alaska Permanent Fund Deposits: The Alaska Permanent Fund Corporation may invest in certificates of
deposit at Alaska banks in an aggregate amount with respect to each bank, not to exceed its capital
and at specified rates and terms. The depository bank must collateralize the deposit. At June 30,
2007, the Company held no certificates of deposit for the Alaska Permanent Fund. In contrast, at
June 30, 2006, the Company held $15.0 million in certificates of deposits for the Alaska Permanent
Fund Corporation and it held no certificates of deposits for the Alaska Permanent Fund Corporation
at December 31, 2006. As the Company has increased the balances in its other lower cost funds, it
has allowed the certificates of deposits with the Alaska Permanent Fund Corporation to mature.
Borrowings
Federal Home Loan Bank: A portion of the Companys borrowings were from the Federal Home Loan Bank
(FHLB). At June 30, 2007, the Companys maximum borrowing line from the FHLB was $107.0 million,
approximately 11% of the Companys assets. At June 30, 2007, there was $2.0 million outstanding on
the line and no additional monies committed to secure public deposits. At December 31, 2006 and
June 30, 2006 there were outstanding balances on the borrowing line of $2.2 million and $2.4
million, respectively. At December 31, 2006 there were no additional monies committed to secure
public deposits as compared to $15.2 million at June 30, 2006. Additional advances are dependent
on the availability of acceptable collateral such as marketable securities or real estate loans,
although all FHLB advances are secured by a blanket pledge of the Companys assets.
In addition to the borrowings from the FHLB, the Company had $9.3 million in other borrowings
outstanding at June 30, 2007, as compared to $4.3 million in other borrowings outstanding at
December
31, 2006. In each time period, the other borrowings consisted of security repurchase arrangements
and short-term borrowings from the Federal Reserve Bank for payroll tax deposits.
- 24 -
Table of Contents
Other Short-term Borrowings: At June 30, 2007, the Company had no short-term (original maturity of
one year or less) borrowings that exceeded 30% of shareholders equity.
Off-Balance Sheet Items Commitments/Letters of Credit: The Company is a party to financial
instruments with off-balance sheet risk. Among the off-balance sheet items entered into in the
ordinary course of business are commitments to extend credit and the issuance of letters of credit.
These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess
of the amounts recognized on the balance sheet. Certain commitments are collateralized. As of
June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the Companys commitments to extend credit and to provide
letters of credit amounted to $166.5 million and $172 million, respectively. Since many of the
commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, these total commitment amounts do not
necessarily represent future cash requirements.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Shareholders Equity
Shareholders equity was $98.2 million at June 30, 2007, compared to $95.4 million at December 31,
2006 and $88.4 million at June 30, 2006. The Company earned net income of $3.1 million during the
three-month period ending June 30, 2007, issued 6,343 shares through the exercise of stock options,
and repurchased 37,500 shares of its common stock under the Companys publicly announced repurchase
program. At June 30, 2007, the Company had approximately 6.1 million shares of its common stock
outstanding.
Capital Requirements and Ratios
The Company is subject to minimum capital requirements. Federal banking agencies have adopted
regulations establishing minimum requirements for the capital adequacy of banks and bank holding
companies. The requirements address both risk-based capital and leverage capital. As of June 30,
2007, the Company and the Bank met all applicable capital adequacy requirements.
The FDIC has in place qualifications for banks to be classified as well-capitalized. As of June
15, 2007, the most recent notification from the FDIC categorized the Bank as well-capitalized.
There were no conditions or events since the FDIC notification that have changed the Banks
classification.
- 25 -
Table of Contents
The following table illustrates the capital requirements for the Company and the Bank and the
actual capital ratios for each entity that exceed these requirements as of June 30, 2007:
Adequately- | Well- | Actual Ratio | Actual Ratio | |||||||||||||
Capitalized | Capitalized | BHC | Bank | |||||||||||||
Tier 1 risk-based capital |
4.00 | % | 6.00 | % | 13.22 | % | 11.35 | % | ||||||||
Total risk-based capital |
8.00 | % | 10.00 | % | 14.47 | % | 12.60 | % | ||||||||
Leverage ratio |
4.00 | % | 5.00 | % | 11.91 | % | 10.24 | % |
The capital ratios for the Company exceed those for the Bank primarily because the $18.6 million
junior subordinated debenture offerings that the Company completed in the second quarter of 2003
and the fourth quarter of 2005 are included in the Companys capital for regulatory purposes
although such securities are accounted for as a long-term debt in its financial statements. The
junior subordinated debentures are not accounted for on the Banks financial statements nor are
they included in its capital. As a result, the Company has $18.6 million more in regulatory
capital than the Bank, which explains most of the difference in the capital ratios for the two
entities.
Stock Repurchase Plan
In June 2007, the Board of Directors of the Company amended the stock repurchase plan (Plan) to
increase the stock in its repurchase program by an additional 305,029, or 5%, of total shares
outstanding. In the three-month period ending June 30, 2007, the Company repurchased 37,500
shares, which brought the total shares repurchased under this program to 588,442 shares since its
inception at a total cost of $11.8 million at an average price of $20.09. As a result, there were
327,242 shares remaining under the Plan at June 30, 2007. The Company intends to continue to
repurchase its common stock from time to time depending upon market conditions, but it can make no
assurances that it will repurchase all of the shares authorized for repurchase under the Plan.
Junior Subordinated Debentures
In May of 2003, the Company formed a wholly-owned Delaware statutory business trust subsidiary,
Northrim Capital Trust 1 (the Trust), which issued $8 million of guaranteed undivided
beneficial interests in the Companys Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debentures (Trust
Preferred Securities). These debentures qualify as Tier 1 capital under Federal Reserve Board
guidelines. All of the common securities of the Trust are owned by the Company. The proceeds
from the issuance of the common securities and the Trust Preferred Securities were used by the
Trust to purchase $8.2 million of junior subordinated debentures of the Company. The Trust
Preferred Securities of the Trust are not consolidated in the Companys financial statements in
accordance with FASB Interpretation No. 46R (FIN46); therefore, the Company has recorded its
investment in the Trust as an other asset and the subordinated debentures as a liability. The
debentures, which represent the sole asset of the Trust, accrue and pay distributions quarterly
at a variable rate of 90-day LIBOR plus 3.15% per annum, adjusted quarterly. The interest rate
on these debentures was 8.51% at June 30, 2007. The interest cost to the Company on these
debentures was $172,000 in the quarter ending June 30, 2007 and $168,000 in the same period in
2006. The Company has entered into contractual arrangements which, taken collectively, fully and
unconditionally guarantee payment of: (i) accrued and unpaid distributions required to be paid on
the Trust Preferred Securities; (ii) the redemption price with respect to any Trust Preferred
Securities called for redemption by the Trust and (iii) payments due upon a voluntary or
involuntary dissolution, winding up or liquidation of the Trust. The Trust Preferred Securities
are mandatorily redeemable upon maturity of the debentures on May 15, 2033, or upon earlier
redemption as provided in the indenture. The Company has the right to redeem the debentures
purchased by the Trust in whole or in part, on or after May 15, 2008. As specified in the
indenture, if the debentures are redeemed prior to maturity, the redemption price will be the
principal amount and any accrued but unpaid interest.

Table of Contents
In December of 2005, the Company formed a wholly-owned Connecticut statutory business trust
subsidiary, Northrim Statutory Trust 2 (the Trust 2), which issued $10 million of guaranteed
undivided beneficial interests in the Companys Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debentures
(Trust Preferred Securities 2). These debentures qualify as Tier 1 capital under Federal Reserve
Board guidelines. All of the common securities of Trust 2 are owned by the Company. The proceeds
from the issuance of the common securities and the Trust Preferred Securities 2 were used by Trust
2 to purchase $10.3 million of junior subordinated debentures of the Company. The Trust Preferred
Securities of the Trust 2 are not consolidated in the Companys financial statements in accordance
with FIN46; therefore, the Company has recorded its investment in the Trust 2 as an other asset and
the subordinated debentures as a liability. The debentures, which represent the sole asset of
Trust 2, accrue and pay distributions quarterly at a variable rate of 90-day LIBOR plus 1.37% per
annum, adjusted quarterly. The interest rate on these debentures was 6.73% at June 30, 2007. The
interest cost to the Company on these debentures was $170,000 for the quarter ending June 30, 2007
and $155,000 in the same period in 2006. The Company has entered into contractual arrangements
which, taken collectively, fully and unconditionally guarantee payment of: (i) accrued and unpaid
distributions required to be paid on the Trust Preferred Securities 2; (ii) the redemption price
with respect to any Trust Preferred Securities 2 called for redemption by Trust 2 and (iii)
payments due upon a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, winding up or liquidation of Trust 2.
The Trust Preferred Securities 2 are mandatorily redeemable upon maturity of the debentures on
March 15, 2036, or upon earlier redemption as provided in the indenture. The Company has the right
to redeem the debentures purchased by Trust 2 in whole or in part, on or after March 15, 2011. As
specified in the indenture, if the debentures are redeemed prior to maturity, the redemption price
will be the principal amount and any accrued but unpaid interest.
CAPITAL EXPENDITURES AND COMMITMENTS
The Company began construction of a new branch facility in its Fairbanks market in the second
quarter of 2007 and it expects to complete construction in the second quarter of 2008. The land
purchase and construction costs are projected to total $4.8 million and be funded by operations.
On June 27, 2007 the Company announced the signing of a definitive agreement to acquire Alaska
First Bank & Trust N.A. (Alaska First) for $6.3 million in a cash transaction. The transaction
calls for the Company to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Alaska First and to merge Alaska
First with and into Northrim Bank. The Company will not acquire Alaska Firsts subsidiary, Hagen
Insurance. The boards of both companies approved the transaction, which is subject to approval by
Alaska Firsts shareholders and applicable bank regulators, as well as other customary conditions
to closing. The Company expects to close the Alaska First transaction in the fourth quarter of
2007.

ITEM 3: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Interest rate, credit, and operations risks are the most significant market risks which affect the
Companys performance. The Company relies on loan review, prudent loan underwriting standards, and
an adequate allowance for credit losses to mitigate credit risk.
The Company utilizes a simulation model to monitor and manage interest rate risk within parameters
established by its internal policy. The model projects the impact of a 100 basis point increase
and a 100 basis point decrease, from prevailing interest rates, on the balance sheet for a period
of 12 months.
The Company is currently slightly liability sensitive, meaning that interest-bearing liabilities
mature or reprice more quickly than interest-earning assets in a given period. Therefore, a
significant increase in market rates of interest could negatively impact net interest income.
Conversely, a declining interest rate environment may favorably impact net interest income.
Although in the Companys case, as indicated below, a decline in interest rates has a slightly less
negative impact on net interest income than an increase in interest rates.
Generalized assumptions are made on how investment securities, classes of loans, and various
deposit products might respond to interest rate changes. These assumptions are inherently
uncertain, and as a result, the model cannot precisely estimate net interest income nor precisely
predict the impact of higher or lower interest rates on net interest income. Actual results may
differ materially from simulated results due to factors such as timing, magnitude, and frequency of
rate changes, customer reaction to rate changes, competitive response, changes in market
conditions, the absolute level of interest rates, and management strategies, among other factors.
The results of the simulation model at June 30, 2007, indicate that, if interest rates immediately
increased by 100 basis points, the Company would experience a decrease in net interest income of
approximately $145,000 over the next 12 months. Similarly, the simulation model indicates that, if
interest rates immediately decreased by 100 basis points, the Company would experience a decrease
net interest income of approximately $48,000 over the next 12 months.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design
and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Our principal executive and financial
officers supervised and participated in this evaluation. Based on this evaluation, our principal
executive and financial officers each concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures are
effective in timely alerting them to material information required to be included in the periodic
reports to the Securities and Exchange Commission. The design of any system of controls is based in
part upon various assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance
that any of our plans, products, services or procedures will succeed in achieving their intended
goals under future conditions.
Changes in Internal Control over Disclosure and Reporting
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the
quarterly period ended June 30, 2007 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to
materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
