NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
June 30, 2008 and 2007
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. The Company has evaluated the
requirements of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement No. 131, Disclosures about
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information (as amended) and determined that the Company
operates as a single operating segment. Operating results for the interim period ended June 30,
2008, are not necessarily indicative of the results anticipated for the year ending December 31,
2008. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Companys Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
The Companys significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 1 to the audited consolidated
financial statements included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2007.
On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted the following new accounting pronouncements: | ||
- FASB Statement No. 157 (SFAS 157), Fair Value Measurements | ||
- FASB Statement No. 159 (SFAS 159), The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and | ||
Financial Liabilities Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 |
The adoption of SFAS 157 and SFAS 159 did not have any affect on the Companys financial statements
at the date of adoption. For additional information, see Note 10.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 161,
Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities an amendment of FASB No. 133
(SFAS 161). SFAS 161 requires expanded qualitative, quantitative and credit-risk disclosures
about derivatives and hedging activities and their effects on the Companys financial position,
financial performance and cash flows. SFAS 161 also clarifies that derivatives are subject to
credit risk disclosures as required by SFAS No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial
Instruments. SFAS 161 is effective for the Companys financial statements for the year beginning
on January 1, 2009 and must be adopted prospectively. The
Company does not expect that adoption of SFAS 161 will impact
its financial condition and results of operations.
In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. 142-3, Determination of the Useful
Life of Intangible Assets (FSP 142-3). FSP 142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in
developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized
intangible asset under SFAS 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS 142). The intent of
FSP 142-3 is to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset
under SFAS 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset
under SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations, and other GAAP. FSP 142-3 is effective
for the Companys financial statements for the year beginning on January 1, 2009 and will be
adopted prospectively. The Company does not expect that adoption of
FSP 142-3 will impact its financial condition
and results of operations.

Table of Contents
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 163, Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts
(SFAS 163). SFAS 163 requires that insurance enterprises recognize a claim liability prior to an
event of default (insured event) in accounting for financial guarantee insurance contracts when
there is evidence that credit deterioration has occurred in an insured financial obligation. SFAS
163 also clarifies how SFAS 60, Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises, applies to
financial guarantee insurance contracts, including the recognition and measurement to be used to
account for premium revenue and claim liabilities. SFAS 163 is effective for the Companys
financial statements for the year beginning on January 1, 2009 and must be adopted prospectively.
The Company does not expect that adoption of SFAS 163 will impact its financial condition and results of
operations.
In June 2008, the FASB issued Financial Accounting Staff Position Emerging Issues Task Force
No. 03-6-1, Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are
Participating Securities (FSP 03-6-1). FSP 03-6-1 addresses whether instruments granted in
share-based payment transactions are participating securities prior to vesting and, therefore, need
to be included in the earnings allocation in computing earnings per share (EPS) under the two-class
method described in paragraphs 60 and 61 of SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share. FSP 03-6-1 is
effective for the Companys financial statements for the year beginning on January 1, 2009 and must
be adopted retrospectively for all earnings per share calculations.
The Company does not expect adoption of FSP 03-6-1 will
have a material impact its financial condition and results of operations.

an acquisition of branches from Bank of America, N.A. in 1999, the Company recorded $6.9
million of goodwill and $2.9 million of core deposit intangible (CDI). This CDI is fully
amortized as of June 30, 2008. In addition, the Company recorded $1.1 million in intangible assets
related to customer relationships purchased in the acquisition of an
additional 40.1% of Northrim Benefits Group, LLC (NBG) in
December 2005. The Company amortizes this intangible over its estimated life of ten years.
Finally, in 2007 the Company recorded $2.1 million of goodwill and $1.3 million of CDI as part of
the acquisition of Alaska First Bank & Trust, N.A. (Alaska First) stock. During the first
quarter of 2008, the Company adjusted the purchase price allocation which resulted in a $285,000
decrease in goodwill. The Company amortizes the CDI associated with
the Alaska First purchase over its estimated useful life of ten years
using an accelerated method.
In accordance with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, management reviews goodwill
for impairment by reviewing a number of key market indicators at least annually or if an event
occurs or circumstances change that reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying
value. We conducted an impairment analysis to evaluate the carrying value of goodwill as of June
30, 2008. The process of evaluating goodwill for impairment requires us to make several
assumptions and estimates. If our impairment analysis indicates that the fair value of the Company
is less than its carrying amount, then we will have to write down the amount of goodwill we carry
on our balance sheet through a charge to our earnings.
Our impairment analysis estimated the fair value using two methods: an income approach and a market
comparison approach. The most significant element in the goodwill evaluation is the level of our
earnings. If our earnings were to decline and cause our market capitalization to also decline, the
market value of our Company may not support the carrying value of goodwill.
Based on
our analysis, the Company determined that there was no goodwill impairment at June 30,
2008. We will continue to monitor the valuation of the Company to determine whether goodwill is
impaired each quarter. No assurance can be given that we will not charge earnings during 2008 for
goodwill impairment.

5. | ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES, NONPERFORMlNG ASSETS, AND LOANS MEASURED FOR IMPAIRMENT |
The Company maintains an Allowance to reflect inherent losses from its loan portfolio as of the
balance sheet date. The Allowance is decreased by loan charge-offs and increased by loan
recoveries and provisions for loan losses. On a quarterly basis, the Company calculates the
Allowance based on an established methodology which has been consistently applied.
In determining its total Allowance, the Company first estimates a specific allowance for
impaired loans. This analysis is based upon a specific analysis for each impaired loan,
including appraisals on loans secured by real property, managements assessment of the current
market, recent payment history and an evaluation of other sources of repayment.
The Company then estimates an allowance for all loans that are not impaired. This allowance is
based on loss factors applied to loans that are quality graded according to an internal risk
classification system (classified loans). The Companys internal risk classifications are based
in large part upon regulatory definitions for classified loans. The loss factors that the Company
applies to each group of loans within the various risk classifications are based on industry
standards, historical experience and managements judgment.
Portfolio components also receive specific attention in the Allowance analysis when those
components constitute a significant concentration as a percentage of the Companys capital, when
current market or economic conditions point to increased scrutiny, or when historical or recent
experience suggests that additional attention is warranted in the analysis process.
Once the Allowance is determined using the methodology described above, management assesses the
adequacy of the overall Allowance through an analysis of the size and mix of the loan portfolio,
historical and recent credit performance of the loan portfolio (including the absolute level and
trends in delinquencies and impaired loans), industry metrics and ratio analysis.
The Companys banking regulators, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically
review the Allowance. The Companys regulators may require the Company to recognize additions
to the allowance based on their judgments related to information available to them at the
time of their examinations.

In October of 2007, the Company acquired $13.2 million in loans as a part of its acquisition of
Alaska First. The acquisition of these loans did not cause any material changes in the risk
characteristics of the Companys loan portfolio.
The Company took a provision for loan losses in the amount of $2.0 million for the three-month
period ending June 30, 2008 to account for increases in nonperforming loans and the specific
allowance for impaired loans. The following table details activity in the Allowance for the

At June 30, 2008, December 31, 2007, and June 30, 2007, the Company had impaired loans of $84.9
million, $51.4 million, and $25.0 million, respectively. A specific allowance of $3.7 million, $3.3
million, and $3.0 million, respectively, was established for these loans for the periods noted. The
increase in impaired loans at June 30, 2008, as compared to December 31, 2007, resulted mainly from
the addition of a residential construction project, a condominium conversion project, a commercial
real estate loan relationship consisting of three loans to one borrower, and a land development
loan that were not included in impaired loans at December 31, 2007 and the deletion of one
residential construction project that was included in impaired loans at December 31, 2007 but not
at June 30, 2008. The increase in impaired loans at December 31, 2007, as compared to June 30,
2007, resulted mainly from the addition of two residential land development loans that were not
included in impaired loans at June 30, 2007.
At June 30, 2008, December 31, 2007, and June 30, 2007 the Company held $11.1 million, $4.5 million
and $717,000, respectively, as OREO. The Company expects to expend approximately $3.5 million
during 2008 to complete construction of these projects with an estimated completion date of
September 30, 2008 for the majority of them.
6. INVESTMENT SECURITIES
Investment securities, which include Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) stock, totaled $130.4 million
at June 30, 2008, a decrease of $31.3 million, or 19%, from $161.7 million at December 31, 2007,
and an increase of $51.0 million, or 64%, from $79.4 million at June 30, 2007. Investment
securities designated as available for sale comprised 89% of the investment portfolio at June 30,
2008, 92% at December 31, 2007, and 83% at June 30, 2007, 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, 2008, $47.8 million in securities, or 37%, of the investment
portfolio was pledged, as compared to $32.4 million, or 20%, at December 31, 2007, and $21.4
million, or 27%, at June 30, 2007.
7. OTHER OPERATING INCOME
The Company, through Northrim Capital Investments Co. (NCIC), a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Northrim Bank, owns a 50.1% in NBG. The Company 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, 2008 and 2007, the Company included employee benefit plan
income from NBG of $352,000 and $314,000, respectively, in its Other Operating Income. In the
six-month periods ending June 30, 2008 and 2007, the Company included employee benefit plan income
from NBG of $659,000 and $571,000, respectively, in Other Operating Income.

The Company also owns a 23.5% interest in Residential Mortgage Holding Company, LLC (RML Holding
Company) through NCIC. In the three-month period ending June 30, 2008, the Companys earnings
from RML Holding Company increased by $99,000 to $273,000 as compared to $174,000 for the
three-month period ending June 30, 2007. In the six-month period ending June 30, 2008, the
Companys earnings from RML Holding Company increased by $118,000 to $306,000 as compared to
$188,000 for the six-month period ending June 30, 2007.
The Company owns a 48% equity interest in Elliott Cove Capital Management LLC (Elliott Cove), an
investment advisory services company, through its whollyowned subsidiary, Northrim Investment
Services Company (NISC). In addition to its ownership interest, the Company provides Elliott
Cove with a line of credit that has a commitment amount of $750,000 and an outstanding balance of
$697,000 as of June 30, 2008. The Companys share of the loss from Elliott Cove for the second
quarter of 2008 was $16,000, as compared to a loss of $18,000 in the second quarter of 2007. In the
six-month period ending June 30, 2008, the Companys share of the loss from Elliott Cove was
$53,000 as compared to a loss of $51,000 for the six-month period ending June 30, 2007. The losses
from Elliott Cove, which were consistent with the same periods in 2007 for both the three and
six-month periods ending June 30, 2008, were more than offset by commissions that the Company
receives for its sales of Elliott Cove investment products. These commissions are accounted for as
other operating income and totaled $63,000 in the second quarter of 2008 and $136,000 for the six
months ending June 30, 2008 as compared to $66,000 in the second quarter of 2007 and $140,000 for
the six months ending June 30, 2007. A portion of these commissions are paid to the Companys
employees and accounted for as salary expense. These commission payments totaled $14,000 for both
three-month periods ending June 30, 2007 and 2008, and $23,000 and $24,000, respectively, in the
six-month periods ending June 30, 2007 and 2008.
The Company also owns a 24% interest in Pacific Wealth Advisors, LLC (PWA) through NISC. 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, 2008, the Companys earnings
from PWA increased by $23,000 to $5,000 as compared to a loss of $18,000 for the three-month period
ending June 30, 2007. During the six-month period ending June 30, 2008, the Companys earnings
from PWA increased by $87,000 to $16,000 as compared to a loss of $71,000 for the six-month period
ending June 30, 2007.
8. DEPOSIT ACTIVITIES
Total deposits at June 30, 2008 and 2007 are $902.0 million and $807.8 million, respectively. A
portion of this increase is due to the fact that the Company acquired $47.7 million in deposits
through the acquisition of Alaska First in the fourth quarter of 2007. Additionally, at June 30,
2008, the Company held $25 million in certificates of deposit for the Alaska Permanent Fund
Corporation. At June 30, 2007 the Company held no certificates of deposit for the Alaska Permanent
Fund. 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 deposits either with pledged securities or a
letter of credit.
At
June 30, 2008, the Company had one longtime depositor with total
deposits representing $110.4 million, or
12.2% of total deposits. There were no depositors with deposits
representing 10% or more of total deposits
at June 30, 2007 or December 31, 2007. Subsequent to the end of the second quarter of 2008, this depositor
withdrew $96.0 million from one of its deposit accounts in an effort to diversify its investments.
The deposits with this customer have fluctuated significantly in the past. As a result, the
Company used its existing overnight investments and drew on its borrowing lines with correspondent
banks and the FHLB in the amount of $65 million to fund this withdrawal.

9. STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN
The Company has set aside 330,750 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, 2008 was 488,445, which includes 220,246 shares granted
under the 2004 Plan leaving 121,969 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 $75,000 and $55,000 on the fair value of restricted stock units
and $77,000 and $83,000 on the fair value of stock options for a total of $152,000 and $138,000 in
stock-based compensation expense for the three-month periods ending June 30, 2008 and 2007,
respectively. For the six-month periods ending June 30, 2008 and 2007, the Company recognized
expense of $151,000 and $110,000, respectively, on the fair value of restricted stock units and
$153,000 and $167,000, respectively, on the fair value of stock options for a total of $304,000 and
$277,000, respectively, in stock-based compensation expense.
There were no stock options exercised during the second quarter of 2008. Proceeds from the
exercise of stock options for second quarter of 2007 were $140,000. The Company recognized a tax
deduction of $25,000 related to the exercise of these stock options during the quarter ended June
30, 2007.
Proceeds from the exercise of stock options for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 were
$232,000 and $139,000, respectively. The Company withheld shares valued at $287,000 and $4,000 to
pay for stock option exercises or income taxes that resulted from the exercise of stock options for
the six-month periods ending June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The Company recognized tax
deductions of $90,000 and $32,000 related to the exercise of these stock options during the six
months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
10. FAIR VALUE OF ASSETS AND LIABILTIES
On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted the provisions SFAS 159. In accordance with this
statement, the Company, at its option, can value assets and liabilities at fair value on an
instrument-by-instrument basis with changes in the fair value recorded in earnings. The Company
elected not to value any additional assets or liabilities at fair value in accordance with SFAS
159.
On January 1, 2008, the Company also adopted the provisions of SFAS 157. This statement defines
fair value, establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure
requirements for fair value measurement. This Statement applies
whenever assets or liabilities are required or permitted to be
measured at fair value under current existing standards.
Fair Value Hierarchy
In accordance with FASB Statement 157, the Company groups its assets and liabilities measured at
fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and
the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. These levels are:
Level 1: Valuation is based upon quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active
exchange markets, such as the New York Stock Exchange. Level 1 also includes U.S. Treasury and federal
agency securities, which are traded by dealers or brokers in active markets. Valuations are
obtained from readily available pricing sources for market transactions involving identical assets
or liabilities.
Level 2: Valuation is based upon quoted market prices for similar instruments in active
markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and
model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the
market.
- 14 -
Table of Contents
Level 3: Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use significant
assumptions not
observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect the Companys
estimation of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
Valuation techniques include use of option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar
techniques.
The following valuation methods were used for assets and liabilities recorded at fair value. All
financial instruments are held for other than trading purposes.
Available-for-sale Securities: Securities available for sale are recorded at fair value on a
recurring basis. Fair values are based on quoted market prices, where available. If quoted market
prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments
or model-based valuation techniques.
Loans: Loans are carried at their principal amount outstanding, net of charge-offs, unamortized
fees and direct loan origination costs. Loans are placed on non-accrual when management believes
doubt exists as to the collectability of the interest or principal. Cash payments received on
non-accrual loans are directly applied to the principal balance. The
Company does not record loans at fair
value on a recurring basis. We record nonrecurring fair value adjustments to loans to reflect
partial write-downs that are based on the observable market price or current appraised value of
collateral or the full charge-off of the loan carrying value.
The Company may be required to measure certain assets such as equity method investments, intangible assets
or OREO at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with GAAP. Any nonrecurring
adjustments to fair value usually result from the write down of individual assets.
The following table sets forth the balances of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a
recurring basis (in thousands):

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based
upon our consolidated financial statements, and the notes thereto, which have been prepared in
accordance with GAAP. The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires us to make
a number of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the
consolidated financial statements. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions
based upon historical experience and various other factors and circumstances. We believe that our
estimates and assumptions are reasonable; however, actual results may differ significantly from
these estimates and assumptions which could have a material impact on
the carrying value of assets and liabilities at the balance sheet dates and on our results of
operations for the reporting periods.

Our significant accounting policies and practices are described in Note 1 to the Consolidated
Financial Statements in the Companys Form 10-K as of December 31, 2007. The accounting policies
that involve significant estimates and assumptions by management, which have a material impact on
the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities, are considered critical accounting policies.
We have identified our policy for the Allowance for Loan Losses (the Allowance) as a critical
accounting policy.
A description of this policy can be found in Note 5 of the Notes to the Financial Statements to
this 10-Q. We maintain an allowance for loan losses at an amount which we believe is sufficient to
provide adequate protection against losses inherent in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet
date. The Allowance is reported as a reduction of outstanding loan balances and is decreased by
loan charge-offs, increased by loan recoveries and decreased for provisions for loan losses. Our
periodic evaluation of the adequacy of the Allowance is based on such factors as our past loan loss
experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations that have occurred but
are not yet known that may affect the borrowers ability to repay, the estimated value of
underlying collateral, and economic conditions. As we utilize information currently available to
evaluate the Allowance, the Allowance is subjective and may be adjusted in the future depending on
changes in economic conditions or other factors.
We recognize the determination of the allowance for loan losses is sensitive to the assigned credit
risk ratings and inherent loss rates at any given point in time. Therefore, we perform a
sensitivity analysis to provide insight regarding the impact of adverse changes in risk ratings may
have on our allowance for loan losses. The sensitivity analysis does not imply any expectation of
future deterioration in our loans risk ratings and it does not necessarily reflect the nature and
extent of future changes in the allowance for loan losses due to the numerous quantitative and
qualitative factors considered in determining our allowance for loan losses. At June 30, 2008, in
the event that 1 percent of our loans were downgraded from the pass category to the special
mention category within our current allowance methodology, the allowance for loan losses would
have increased by approximately $330,000.
Based on our methodology and its components, management believes the resulting Allowance is
adequate and appropriate for the risk identified in the Companys loan portfolio. Given current
processes employed by the Company, management believes the risk ratings and inherent loss rates
currently assigned are appropriate. It is possible that others, given the same information, may at
any point in time reach different reasonable conclusions that could be material to the Companys
financial statements. In addition, current risk ratings and fair value estimates of collateral are
subject to change as we continue to review loans within our portfolio and as our borrowers are
impacted by economic trends within their market areas. Although we have established an Allowance
that we consider adequate, there can be no assurance that the established Allowance will be
sufficient to offset losses on loans in the future.

SUMMARY OF SECOND QUARTER RESULTS
At June 30, 2008, the Company had assets of $1 billion and gross loans of $710.1 million,
increases of 10% and 1%, respectively, as compared to the balances for these accounts
at June 30, 2007. As compared to balances at December 31, 2007, total assets at June 30, 2008
increased by 3% and total loans at June 30, 2008 decreased by 1%. The Companys net income and
diluted earnings per share for the three months ended June 30, 2008, were $1.4 million and $0.23,
respectively, a decrease of 59% and 58%, respectively, as compared to the same period in 2007. For
the quarter ended June 30, 2008 the Companys net interest
income decreased by $1.7 million, or 54%,
its provision for loan losses increased by $666,000, or 50%, its other operating income increased
$154,000, or 6%, and its other operating expenses increased by $1.8 million, or 20%, as compared to
the second quarter a year ago.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
NET INCOME
Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2008, was $1.4 million, or $0.23 per diluted share,
decreases of 54% and 52%, respectively, as compared to net income of $3.1 million and diluted
earnings per share of $0.48, respectively, for the second quarter of 2007.
The decrease in net income for the three-month period ending June 30, 2008 as compared to the same
period a year ago is the result of a decrease in net interest income of $921,000, an increase in
the provision for loan losses of $666,000, and an increase in other operating expense of $1.8
million as compared to the same period a year ago. The decrease in the Companys net interest
income was caused by larger declines in the yield of its earning assets as compared to decreases in
its cost of funds combined with a shift in earning assets to lower yielding investment securities
from higher yielding loans. The net interest income was further negatively impacted by an increase
in noninterest earning assets mainly in the form of other real estate owned (OREO). The
provision for loan losses increased to account for the increase in nonperforming loans and the
specific allowance for impaired loans. The increase in other operating expense is primarily the
result of a $977,000 impairment on OREO, a $166,000 increase in expenses related to OREO, and a
$152,000 increase in FDIC insurance expense that was due to changes in the assessment of FDIC
insurance premiums. Salaries and benefits also increased by $279,000, or 5%, for the three-month
period ending June 30, 2008 as compared to the same period a year ago, due to an increase in
employees and salary increases driven by competitive pressures. Occupancy expenses increased by
$192,000, or 31%, for the three-month period ending June 30, 2008 as compared to the same period a
year ago, due to increased rental costs at the Companys headquarters facility, and lease expense
for new office space that the Company began occupying in the fourth quarter of 2007. These
increases were partially offset by a decrease in tax expense of $1.5 million. The decrease in
earnings per diluted share for the second quarter of 2008 as compared to the second quarter of 2007
was primarily due to the decrease in net income in the second quarter of 2008.
Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2008, was $3.6 million, or $0.56 per diluted share,
decreases of 39% and 38%, respectively, as compared to net income of $5.9 million and diluted
earnings per share of $0.90, respectively, for the same period in 2007.
The decrease in net income for the six-month period ending June 30, 2008 as compared to the same
period a year ago is the result of a decrease in net interest income of $829,000, an increase in
the provision for loan losses of $1.9 million, and an increase in other operating expenses of $2.3
million as compared to the same period a year ago. These decreases were partially offset by a
$914,000 increase in other operating income which resulted mainly from increased service charges on
deposit accounts, increased electronic banking fees, gain on a security sale and increased earnings
from the Companys investment in RML. The decrease in the Companys net interest income and the
increase in its provision for loan losses were caused by similar factors to those noted above in
the discussion of the three-month period ending June 30, 2008. The increase in other operating
expense is the result of the $977,000 impairment on OREO, a $268,000 increase in FDIC insurance
expense that was due to changes in the assessment of FDIC insurance premiums, a $217,000 increase
in expenses related to OREO, and a $207,000 increase in professional fees and outside services.
Salaries and benefits increased by $427,000, or 4%, for the six-month period ending June 30, 2008
as compared to the same period a year ago, due to an increase in employees and salary increases
driven by competitive pressures. Occupancy expenses increased by $318,000, or 24%, for the
six-month period ending June 30, 2008 as compared to the same period a year ago, due to increased
costs at the Companys headquarters facility and lease expense for new office space that the
Company began occupying in the fourth quarter of 2007. These increased expenses were partially
offset by a decrease in tax expense of $1.9 million. The decrease in earnings per diluted share
for the second quarter of 2008 as compared to the second quarter of 2007 was primarily due to the
decrease in net income in the second quarter of 2008.

Table of Contents
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. Both the Companys loans and deposits consist
largely of variable interest rate arrangements, with the result that
as loans and deposits reprice, the Company can expect fluctuations in
net interest income. Net interest income for the
second quarter of 2008 decreased $921,000, or 7%, to $11.5 million from $12.4 million in the second
quarter of 2007 because of a larger reduction in the yields on the
Companys loans, accompanied by a relatively modest decrease in
interest expense. Net interest income for the six-month period ending June 30, 2008 decreased
$829,000, or 3%, to $23.7 million from $24.5 million in the same period in 2007 due to the same
factors that affected net interest income in the three-month period ending June 30, 2008. The
following table compares average balances and rates for the quarters ending June 30, 2008 and 2007:

Table of Contents
Interest-earning assets averaged $893.3 million and $885.4 million for the three and six-month
periods ending June 30, 2008, an increase of $54.1 million and $58.2 million, or 6% and 7%,
respectively, over the $839.2 and $827.2 million average for the comparable periods in 2007. The
tax equivalent yield on interest-earning assets averaged 5.20% and 5.41 %, respectively, for the
three and six-month periods ending June 30, 2008, decreases of 74 and 58 basis points,
respectively, from 5.94% and 5.99% for the same periods in 2007.
Loans, the largest category of interest-earning assets, decreased by $15.9 million, or 2%, to an
average of $703.8 million in the second quarter of 2008 from $719.6 million in the second quarter
of 2007. During the six-month period ending June 30, 2008, loans decreased by $12.0 million, or
2%, to an average of $705.5 million from an average of $717.5 million for the six-month period
ending June 30, 2007. Commercial and
construction loans decreased by $16.5 million and $20.8 million on average, respectively, between
the second quarters of 2008 and 2007. Commercial real estate loans and consumer loans increased by
$13.1 million and $7.7 million on average between the second quarters of 2008 and 2007. During the
six-month period ending June 30, 2008, commercial and construction loans decreased by $14.6
million, and $17.3 million, respectively, on average as compared to the six-month period ending
June 30, 2007. Commercial real estate loans and consumer loans increased $11.3 million and $8.5
million, respectively, on average between the six-month periods ending June 30, 2008 and June 30,
2007. The decline in the loan portfolio resulted from a combination of transfers to OREO of $2.9
million and $6.3 million for the three and six-month periods ending June 30, 2008, respectively,
refinance and loan payoff activity, and a decrease in construction loan originations. We expect
the loan portfolio to grow slightly in the future with moderate growth in commercial loans and
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. Residential construction activity in Anchorage, the
Companys largest market, is expected to continue to decline through 2008 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 yield
on the loan portfolio averaged 7.59% for the second quarter of 2008, a decrease of 185 basis points
from 9.44% over the same quarter a year ago. During the six-month period ending June 30, 2008, the
yield on the loan portfolio averaged 7.91%, a decrease of 158 basis points from 9.49% over the same
six-month period in 2007.
Average investments increased $70.0 million or 59% to $189.5 million for the second quarter of 2008
from $119.6 million in the second quarter of 2007. For the six-month period ending June 30, 2008,
average investments increased $70.2 million or 64% to $179.9 million from $109.7 million in the
same period in 2007. This increase resulted mainly from additional deposit accounts that generated
increased funds for investments. Additionally, the Company acquired $23.8 million in investments
when it purchased Alaska First Bank & Trust, N.A. (Alaska
First) in the fourth quarter of 2007.
Interest-bearing liabilities averaged $676.3 million for the second quarter of 2008, an increase of
$51.1 million, or 8%, compared to $625.2 million for the same period in 2007. For the six-month
period ending June 30, 2008, interest-bearing liabilities averaged $672.4 million, an increase of
$54.0 million, or 9%, compared to $618.4 million for the same period in 2007. This increase
resulted in part from the $47.4 million in deposits acquired by the Company in the Alaska First
acquisition, additional deposits by the Companys largest depositor, and the addition of $25
million in certificates of deposit from the Alaska Permanent Fund. The average cost of
interest-bearing liabilities decreased 181 basis points to 2.03% for the second quarter of 2008
compared to 3.84% for the second quarter of 2007. The decrease in the average cost of funds in
2008 as compared to 2007 is largely due to the interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve that began
in the third quarter of 2007 and continued through May 2008.
The Companys net interest income as a percentage of average interest-earning assets (net
tax-equivalent margin) was 5.20% and 5.41%, respectively, for the three and six-month periods
ending June 30, 2008 as compared to 5.94% and 5.99% for the same periods in 2007. During both the
three and six-month periods ending June 30, 2008, the yield on the Companys loans decreased due to
lower yields in commercial, construction and consumer loans while its funding costs also
experienced a decrease due to a decline in interest rates as noted above.
- 22 -
Table of Contents
In both the three and
six-month periods ending June 30, 2008, the yield on the Companys earning assets declined by more
than the cost of its interest-bearing liabilities. As loan volume declined in the both periods,
investment volume increased as compared to the same periods a year ago. However, the yields on the
Companys investments averaged 3.56% and 4.06% for the three and six-month periods ending June 30,
2008, respectively, as compared to average yields on its loans of 7.59% and 7.91%, respectively,
for the same periods. This shift from higher yielding to lower yielding assets and increased OREO
balances had a negative effect on the Companys net tax equivalent margin.
OTHER OPERATING INCOME
Other operating income consists of earnings on service charges, fees and other items as well as
gains from the sale of securities. Set forth below is the change in Other Operating Income between

Total other operating income for the second quarter of 2008 was $2.8 million, an increase of
$154,000 from $2.7 million in the second quarter of 2007. Total other operating income for the six
months ending June 30, 2008 was $5.2 million, an increase of $914,000 from $4.3 million in same
period in 2007. This increase is due primarily to increases in income from service charges on
deposit accounts.
Service charges on the Companys deposit accounts decreased by $4,000, or 0%, and increased by
$354,000, or 25%, to $888,000 and $1.8 million for the three and six-month periods ending June 30,
2008 and June 30, 2007, respectively. The increase in the six-month period service charges was
primarily due to the April 2007 implementation of NSF fees on point-of-sale transactions.
Income from the Companys purchased receivable products decreased by $131,000, or 20%, and $29,000,
or 3%, respectively, for the three and six-month periods ending June 30, 2008 and June 30. 2007.
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 expects the
income level from this product to decline on a year-over-year comparative basis as the Company
expects that some of its customers will move into different products to meet their working capital
needs.
Employee benefit plan income from NBG was $352,000 and $659,000 for the three and six-month periods
ending June 30, 2008, as compared to $314,000 and $571,000 in the same periods in 2007 for
increases of $38,000 and $88,000, or 12% and 15%, respectively. These increases occurred as NBG
sold more of its products to a larger client base.
The Companys electronic banking revenue increased by $65,000, or 29%, and $128,000, or 31%,
respectively, to $292,000 and $538,000 for the three and six-month periods ending June 30, 2008 as
compared to revenues of $227,000 and $410,000 in the same periods in 2007.

Table of Contents
The increase in these
revenues came from additional fees collected from increased point of sale transactions and internet
banking fees. The point of sale fees have increased as a result of the increased number of deposit
accounts that the Company has acquired through the marketing of the HPC product and overall
continued increased usage of point of sale by the entire customer base. The internet banking fees
increased due to a change in the Companys internet banking product.
The Companys share of the earnings from its 23.5% interest in its mortgage affiliate, RML,
increased by $99,000 and $118,000, respectively, to $273,000 and $306,000 during the three and
six-month periods ending June 30, 2008 as compared to $174,000 and $188,000 in the same periods in
2007. The increase in earnings resulted from RMLs income increasing due to the increase in
mortgage loan originations.
The Companys share of the earnings from PWA for the three and six-month periods ending June 30,
2008 increased by $23,000 and $87,000 to $5,000 and $16,000 as compared to losses of $18,000 and
$71,000, respectively, in the same periods in 2007. These increases are the result of increased
client fees earned on PWAs growing client base coupled with decreased personnel costs.
The Company recognized a $100,000 gain on the sale of one available-for-sale security in May 2008.
There were no gains on sales of securities in 2007.
Other income decreased by $6,000 or 3%, during the second quarter of 2008 to $175,000 from $181,000
in the second quarter of 2007. For the six-month period ending June 30, 2008, other income
increased $82,000, or 25%, to $416,000 from $334,000 in the same period in 2007. This increase is
mainly the result of $56,000 in proceeds received for the mandatory partial redemption of the
Companys Class B common stock in VISA Inc. in the first quarter of 2008.

Total other operating expense for the second quarter of 2008 was $10.4 million, an increase of $1.8
million from $8.6 million in the second quarter of 2007. This increase is primarily due to a
$977,000 impairment taken on OREO, a $279,000 increase in salary and benefits costs, a $192,000
increase in occupancy costs, a $166,000 increase in expenses related to OREO, and a $152,000
increase in FDIC insurance costs. Total other operating expense for the six months ending June 30,
2008 was $19.9 million, an increase of $2.3 million from $17.6 million in same period in 2007. The
increase was due primarily to the $977,000 impairment on OREO, a $427,000 increase in salaries and
other personnel expense, a $318,000 increase in occupancy expense, a $268,000 increase in FDIC
insurance expense, a $217,000 increase in expenses related to OREO, and a $207,000 increase in
professional fees and outside services.
Salaries and benefits increased by $279,000, or 5%, and $427,000, or 4%, respectively, for the
three and six-month periods ending June 30, 2008 as compared to the same period a year ago due to
an increase in employees and salary increases driven by competitive
market pressures.
The Company recorded impairment on OREO of $977,000 in the second quarter of 2008 and had no
impairment on OREO in 2007. This impairment arose from an adjustment to the Companys estimate of
the fair value of certain properties based on changes in estimated costs to complete the projects.
Occupancy expense increased by $192,000 or 31%, and $318,000, or 24%, for the three and six-month
periods ending June 30, 2008 as compared to the same periods in 2007 due to expenses associated
with leases assumed in the purchase of Alaska First in the fourth quarter of 2007 as well as
increased rental costs at the Companys headquarters facility, and lease expense for new office
space that the Company began occupying in the fourth quarter of 2007.
Professional and outside services increased by $135,000, or 50%, and $207,000, or 41%, for the
three and six-month periods ending June 30, 2008 as compared to the same periods a year ago. The
majority of this increase is due to fees paid for services rendered by former Alaska First
employees to facilitate the transition of Alaska First operations to
the Company, fees paid for
legal services, and the outsourcing of internal audit work.
Marketing expenses decreased by $78,000, or 17%, and $147,000, or 16%, for the three and six-month
periods ending June 30, 2008 as compared to the same periods a year ago primarily due to decreased
general advertising costs. Marketing costs related to the Companys HPC consumer and business
products are expected to remain consistent with 2007 through 2008 as the Company also expects that
the Bank will increase its deposit accounts and balances as it continues to utilize the HPC Program
over the next year.
- 25 -
Table of Contents
Furthermore, the Company expects that the additional deposit accounts will continue to generate
increased fee income that will offset a majority of the marketing costs associated with the HPC
Program.
The Company experienced a $13,000 recovery on one of its purchased receivable accounts during the
first quarter of 2008. During the first quarter of 2007, the Company experienced a $245,000 loss
on this same purchased receivable. There were no losses or recoveries on purchased receivables in
the second quarters of 2008 or 2007.
The Company incurred $71,000 and $164,000 in OREO expenses for the three and six-month periods
ending June 30, 2008, respectively, related to OREO property acquired in 2008. The Company earned
$15,000 and $53,000, net of expenses, in rental income on OREO properties in the three and
six-month periods ending June 30, 2007, respectively. The
Company had no rental income from its OREO
property in 2008.
Other expense decreased by $262,000, or 16%, for the three-month period ending June 30, 2008 as
compared to the same period a year ago. The Company experienced a $152,000 increase in FDIC
insurance expense that was due to changes in the assessment of FDIC insurance premiums. Other
expense increased by $724,000, or 22%, for the six-month period ending June 30, 2008 as compared to
the same period a year ago. This increase is primarily due to a $267,000 increase in FDIC
insurance expense as discussed above, a $194,000 increase in
insurance expense attributable to decreases in
the cash surrender value of assets held under the Companys Keyman insurance policies and a
$153,000 increase in loan collection costs.
Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes was $367,000 and $1.6 million for the three and six-month periods
ending June 30, 2008, respectively, as compared to $1.9 million and $3.5 million, respectively, for
the same periods in 2007. The effective tax rates for the three and six-month periods ending June
30, 2008 were 20% and 31%, respectively. The decreases in the tax rates for these periods were
primarily due to increased tax exempt income on investments and tax credits relative to the level
of taxable income. The Company expects that its tax rate for the rest of 2008 will be
approximately similar to the tax rate of the six months ended June 30, 2008.
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 $15.9
million, or 2%, to $703.8 million in the second quarter of 2008 as compared to $719.6 million in
the same period of 2007. This decrease is net of $13.2 million in loans acquired from Alaska First
in the fourth quarter of 2007. Loans comprised 79% of total average earning assets for the quarter
ending June 30, 2008, compared to 86% of total average earning assets for the quarter ending June
30, 2007. The yield on loans averaged 7.59% for the quarter ended June 30, 2008, compared to 9.44%
during the same period in 2007.
The loan portfolio increased by $10.0 million, or 1% from $700.1 million at June 30, 2007 to $710.1
million at June 30, 2008. Loans decreased by $4.7 million, or 1%, from $714.8 million at December
31, 2007, to $710.1 million at June 30, 2008. Commercial loans increased $9.0 million, or 3%,
construction loans decreased $22.7 million, or 16%, commercial real estate loans increased $16.7
million, or 7%, and consumer loans increased $7.4 million, or 16%, from June 30, 2007 to June 30, 2008.
- 26 -
Table of Contents
In addition,
commercial loans increased $10.9 million, or 4%, construction loans decreased $22.4 million, or
16%, commercial real estate loans increased $5.9 million or 2%, and consumer loans increased
$687,000, or 1%, from December 31, 2007 to June 30, 2008. The decline in the loan portfolio
resulted from a combination of transfers to OREO of $2.9 million and $6.7 million for the three and
six-month periods ending June 30, 2008, respectively, refinance and loan payoff activity, and a
decrease in construction loan originations. We expect the loan portfolio to grow slightly in the
future with moderate growth in commercial loans and 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. Residential construction activity in Anchorage, the Companys largest market, is expected
to continue to decline through 2008 due to a decline in available building 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 a further overall decline in its construction loans.
Loan Portfolio Composition: Loans decreased to $710.1 million at June 30, 2008, from $714.8 million
at December 31, 2007 and $700.1 million at June 30, 2007. At June 30, 2008, 45% of the portfolio
was scheduled to mature over the next 12 months, and 27% was scheduled to mature between July 1,
2009, and June 30, 2013. 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 45% 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.

OREO increased by $6.7 million to $11.1 million at June 30, 2008 from $4.5 million at December 31,
2007. This increase was primarily the result of the transfer of two residential construction
projects and one land development project to OREO in March 2008 and one condominium construction
project in June of 2008. OREO increased by $10.4 million from June 30, 2007 to June 30, 2008.
This increase was primarily the net result of the transfer of two residential construction projects
and one condominium
construction project to OREO and the sale of one property in 2007. By
December 31, 2007, the Company sold all OREO that it held at
June 30, 2007 and recognized gains on sale of $110,000. The Company expects
to expend approximately $3.5 million during 2008 to complete construction of these projects.
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, 2008, were $18.1 million, or 2.54%, of total loans, an
increase of $6.7 million from $11.3 million at December 31, 2007, and an increase of $8.2 million
from $9.9 million at June 30, 2007. The increase in the nonperforming loans at June 30, 2008 from
the end of 2007 was due in large part to a $4.5 million increase in accruing loans past due 90 days
or more that resulted from the removal of substantially all loans classified as 90 days or more
past due as of the end of 2007 and the addition of seven residential construction loans totaling
$4.1 million and three commercial real estate loans totaling $1.6 million in the second quarter of
2008. In addition to the increase in accruing loans past due 90 days or more, there was a $2.2
million increase in nonaccrual loans that resulted primarily from the addition of four land
development projects, five commercial loans, two residential construction loans, and one
commercial real estate loan. The addition of these loans was partially offset by the transfer of
one land development project and one residential construction project included in nonaccrual loans
at the end of 2007 to OREO in March 2008 and the transfer of a condominium construction project
to OREO in June of 2008. The Company plans to continue to devote resources to resolve its
nonperforming loans, and it continues to write down assets to their estimated fair value when they
are in a non-performing status, which is accounted for through the calculation of the Allowance.
The increase in nonperforming loans between December 31, 2007 and June 30, 2008 in general has been
caused by an increase in nonperforming residential construction and land development loans which
have increased due to several factors. First, there has been a slowdown in the residential real
estate sales cycle in the Companys major markets that has been caused in part by more restrictive
mortgage lending standards that has decreased the number of eligible purchasers for residential
properties.
- 28 -
Table of Contents
In
addition, there has been a decrease in new construction activity. As a result, inventory
levels have remained approximately constant over the last year. Second, the slowdown in the sales
cycle and the decrease in new construction have led to slower absorption of residential lots.
Third, a number of the Companys residential construction and land development borrowers have
been unable to profitably operate in this slower real estate market. As noted above, as a result
of the slower residential real estate market, the Company expects that its level of lending in this
sector will decrease which will lead to a lower level of earnings from this portion of its loan
portfolio.
At June 30, 2008, December 31, 2007, and June 30, 2007, the Company had impaired loans of $84.9
million, $51.4 million, and $25.0 million, respectively. A specific allowance of $3.7 million, $3.3
million, and $3.0 million, respectively, was established for these loans for the periods noted. The
increase in impaired loans at June 30, 2008, as compared to December 31, 2007, resulted mainly from
the addition of a residential construction project, a condominium conversion project, a commercial
real estate loan relationship consisting of three loans to one borrower, and a land development
loan that were not included in impaired loans at December 31, 2007 and the deletion of one
residential construction project that was included in impaired loans at December 31, 2007 but not
at June 30, 2008. The increase in impaired loans at December 31, 2007, as compared to June 30,
2007, resulted mainly from the addition of two residential land development loans that were not
included in impaired loans at June 30, 2007.
Potential Problem Loans: At June 30, 2008 the Company had $19.3 million in potential problem
loans, as compared to $7.1 million at June 30, 2007,
resulting from the Company adding five loans to the listing
of potential problem loans and deleting six loans from this list since June 30, 2007. At December
31, 2007, the Company had potential problem loans of $13.5 million. The increase from December 31,
2007 is primarily the result of the addition of four loans and the
deletion of one loan that was listed as
a potential problem loan at December 31, 2007. 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, restructured loans or impaired loans.
Analysis
of Allowance for Loan Losses and Loan Loss Provision: The Company maintains an Allowance
to reflect inherent losses from its loan portfolio as of the balance sheet date. The Allowance is
decreased by loan charge-offs and increased by loan recoveries and provisions for loan losses. On
a quarterly basis, the Company calculates the Allowance based on an established methodology which
has been consistently applied.
In determining its total Allowance, the Company first estimates a specific
allowance for impaired loans. This analysis is based upon a specific analysis for each impaired
loan, including appraisals on loans secured by real property, managements assessment of the
current market, recent payment history and an evaluation of other sources of repayment.
The Company then estimates an allowance for all loans that are not impaired. This allowance is
based on loss factors applied to loans that are quality graded according to an internal risk
classification system (classified loans). The Companys internal risk classifications are based
in large part upon regulatory definitions for classified loans. The loss factors that the Company
applies to each group of loans within the various risk classifications are based on industry
standards, historical experience and managements judgment.
Portfolio components also receive specific attention in the Allowance analysis when those
components constitute a significant concentration as a percentage of the Companys capital, when
current market or economic conditions point to increased scrutiny, or when historical or recent
experience suggests that additional attention is warranted in the analysis process.
- 29 -
Table of Contents
Once the Allowance is determined using the methodology described above, management assesses the
adequacy of the overall Allowance through an analysis of the size and mix of the loan portfolio,
historical and recent credit performance of the loan portfolio (including the absolute level and
trends in delinquencies and impaired loans), industry metrics and ratio analysis.
The
Comapny's banking regulators, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the
Companys Allowance. The Company's regulators may require the Company to recognize additions to the
allowance based on their judgments related to information available to them at the time of their
examinations.
In October of 2007, the Company acquired $13.2 million in loans as a part of its acquisition of
Alaska First. The acquisition of these loans did not cause any material changes in the risk
characteristics of the Companys loan portfolio.
The Allowance was $13.5 million, or 1.90% of total loans outstanding, at June 30, 2008, compared
to $11.8 million, or 1.69%, of total loans at June 30, 2007 and $11.7 million, or 1.64% of loans,
at December 31, 2007. The Company increased its Allowance as a percentage of its total loans
outstanding between June 30, 2007 and June 30, 2008 due to the increases in classified and
impaired loans. In addition, the Company increased its Allowance during this period to provide a
larger balance to cover losses inherent but not yet identified in the rest of its portfolio due to
the estimated increased inherent loss in the remaining portfolio. The Allowance represented 75% of
non-performing loans at June 30, 2008, as compared to 120% of nonperforming loans at June 30, 2007
and 104% of nonperforming loans at December 31, 2007.
The Company took a provision for loan losses in the amount of $2.0 million for the three-month
period ending June 30, 2008 to account for increases in nonperforming loans and the specific
allowance for impaired loans.

The provision for loan losses for the three-month period ending June 30, 2008 was $2.0 million as
compared to a provision for loan losses of $1.3 million for the three-month period ending June 30,
2007. The provision for loan losses for the six-month period ending June 30, 2008 was $3.7 million
as compared to a provision for loan losses of $1.8 million for the six-month period ending June 30,
2007. During the three-month period ending June 30, 2008, there were $1.1 million in net loan
charge-offs as compared to $1.3 million of net loan charge-offs for the same period in 2007.
During the six-month period ending June 30, 2008, there were $1.9 million in net loan charge-offs
as compared to $2.1 million of net loan charge-offs for the same period in 2007. Loan charge-offs
decreased during the three and six-month periods ending June 30, 2007 from $1.7 million and $2.9
million, respectively, to $1.3 million and $2.3 million, respectively, for the three and six-month
periods ending June 30, 2008.
Management believes that, based on its review of the performance of the loan portfolio and the
various methods it uses to analyze its Allowance, at June 30, 2008 the Allowance was adequate to
cover losses in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date.
Investment Securities
Investment securities, which include Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) stock, totaled $130.4 million
at June 30, 2008, a decrease of $31.3 million, or 19%, from $161.7 million at December 31, 2007,
and an increase of $51.0 million, or 64%, from $79.4 million at June 30, 2007. The decrease in
investments from December 31, 2007 to June 30, 2008 is the result of calls of several agency
securities where the funds were placed in short term investments. The increase in investments from
June 30, 2007 to June 30, 2008 is primarily due to additional deposit dollars resulting in part from
the $47.4 million in deposits acquired by the Company in the Alaska First acquisition, additional
deposits by the Companys largest depositor, and the addition of $25 million in certificates of
deposit from the Alaska Permanent Fund. Additionally, the Company acquired $23.8 million in
investments when it purchased Alaska First in the fourth quarter of 2007. Investment securities
designated as available for sale comprised 89% of the investment portfolio at June 30, 2008, 92% at
December 31, 2007, and 83% at June 30, 2007, 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, 2008, $47.8 million in securities, or 37%, of the investment portfolio
was pledged, as compared to $32.4 million, or 20%, at December 31, 2007, and $21.4 million, or 27%,
at June 30, 2007. The increase in pledged securities is mainly due to the fact that as of June 30,
2008, the Company has pledged $25.7 million to collateralize Alaska Permanent Fund certificates of
deposit. No securities were pledged for Alaska Permanent Fund certificates of deposit as of
December 31, 2007 or June 30, 2007.

LIABILITIES
Deposits
General: Deposits are the Companys primary source of funds. Total deposits increased $34.6
million to $902.0 million at June 30, 2008, from $867.4 million at December 31, 2007, and increased
$94.2 million from $807.8 million at June 30, 2007. 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 products, the
Company expects increases in the number of deposit accounts and the balances associated with them.
At
June 30, 2008, the Company had one longtime depositor with total
deposits representing $110.4 million, or
12.2% of total deposits. There were no depositors with deposits
representing 10% or more of total deposits
at June 30, 2007 or December 31, 2007. Subsequent to the end of the second quarter of 2008, this
depositor withdrew $96.0 million from one of its deposit accounts in an effort to diversify its
investments. The deposits with this customer have fluctuated significantly in the past. As a
result, the Company used its existing overnight investments and drew on its borrowing lines with
correspondent banks and the FHLB in the amount of $65 million to fund this withdrawal. As of August
8, 2008, the Company has no
borrowings outstanding with correspondent banks and has
$20 million outstanding on lines with the Federal
Home Loan Bank. The Company has primarily used the sale of available-for-sale securities and the
proceeds from maturing short term investments to pay down the borrowing. The Company plans to
launch a deposit campaign and possibly liquidate additional short term investments to pay down its
borrowing lines.
Certificates of Deposit: The only deposit category with stated maturity dates is certificates of
deposit. At June 30, 2008, the Company had $136.8 million in certificates of deposit as compared
to certificates of deposit of $94.6 million and $103.5 million, for the periods ending June 30,
2007 and December 31, 2007, respectively. At June 30, 2008, $107.6 million, or 79%, of the
Companys certificates of deposits are scheduled to mature over the next 12 months as compared to
$70 million, or 68%, of total certificates of deposit, at December 31, 2007, and to $58.9 million,
or 62%, of total certificates of deposit at June 30, 2007.
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, 2008, was $137.5 million, a decrease of $43.7 million as compared to the balance of
$181.2 million at June 30, 2007 and a decrease of $33.8 million from a balance of $171.3 million at
December 31, 2007. The Company expects the total balance of the Alaska CD in 2008 to continue to be
at lower levels as compared to 2007 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 deposits either with
pledged securities or a letter of credit. At June 30, 2008, the Company held $25 million in
certificates of deposit for the Alaska Permanent Fund. In contrast, at December 31, 2007 and June
30, 2007, the Company held no certificates of deposit for the Alaska Permanent Fund.

Table of Contents
Borrowings
Federal Home Loan Bank: A portion of the Companys borrowings were from the FHLB. At June 30,
2008, the Companys maximum borrowing line from the FHLB was $121.3 million, approximately 12% of
the Companys assets. At June 30, 2008, there was $1.6 million outstanding on the line and no
additional monies committed to secure public deposits. At December 31, 2007 and June 30, 2007,
there were outstanding balances on the borrowing line of $1.8 million and $2.0 million,
respectively. At December 31, 2007 and June 30, 2007, there were no additional monies committed to
secure public deposits. 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 $8.7 million in other borrowings
outstanding at June 30, 2008, as compared to $15 million and $9.3 million in other borrowings
outstanding at December 31, 2007 and June 30, 2007. 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.
Other Short-term Borrowings: At June 30, 2008, 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,
2008 and December 31, 2007, the Companys commitments to extend credit and to provide letters of
credit amounted to $167.1 million and $186.8 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
Liquidity
At
June 30, 2008, the Company had one longtime depositor with total
deposits representing $110.4 million, or
12.2% of total deposits. There were no depositors with deposits
representing 10% or more of total deposits
at June 30, 2007 or December 31, 2007. Subsequent to the end of the second quarter of 2008, this
depositor withdrew $96.0 million from one of its deposit accounts in an effort to diversify its
investments. The deposits with this customer have fluctuated significantly in the past. As a
result, the Company used its existing liquidity facilities, including sales of overnight
investments and borrowing lines with correspondent banks and the FHLB in the amount of $65 million
to fund this withdrawal. As of August 8, 2008, the Company has no borrowings outstanding with
correspondent banks and has $20 million outstanding on lines with the Federal Home Loan Bank. The Company
has primarily used the sale of available-for-sale securities and the proceeds from maturing short
term investments to pay down the borrowing. The Company plans to launch a deposit campaign and
possibly liquidate additional short term investments to pay down its borrowing lines. As noted
above, at June 30, 2008, our maximum borrowing line from the FHLB was equal to $121.3 million,
approximately 12% of the Companys assets. Additionally, the Company has overnight borrowing lines
of $20 million with other correspondent banks. The Company also has $98.6 million in available for
sale securities as of August 8, 2008 that may be liquidated to meet liquidity needs. Management
makes decisions about investing available funds, launching deposit campaigns, acquiring public
deposits, liquidating investments, and taking on additional borrowings based on the projected cash
needs of the Company.

Table of Contents
Shareholders Equity
Shareholders equity was $101.9 million at June 30, 2008, compared to $101.4 million at December
31, 2007 and $98.2 million at June 30, 2007. The Company earned net income of $1.4 million during
the three-month period ending June 30, 2008, issued no shares through the exercise of stock
options, and did not repurchase any shares of its common stock under the Companys publicly
announced repurchase program. At June 30, 2008, the Company had approximately 6.3 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. At June 30, 2008,
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, 2008, 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.
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, 2008:
Adequately- | Well- | Actual Ratio | Actual Ratio | |||||||||||||
Capitalized | Capitalized | BHC | Bank | |||||||||||||
Tier 1 risk-based capital |
4.00 | % | 6.00 | % | 12.73 | % | 12.01 | % | ||||||||
Total risk-based capital |
8.00 | % | 10.00 | % | 13.99 | % | 13.26 | % | ||||||||
Leverage ratio |
4.00 | % | 5.00 | % | 11.22 | % | 10.60 | % |
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 third 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. In the three and six-month
periods ending June 30, 2008, the Company did not repurchase any of its shares, which left the
total shares repurchased under this program at 688,442 since its inception at a total cost of
$14.2 million and the remaining shares available for purchase under the Plan at 227,242 at June 30,
2008. 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.
- 34 -
Table of Contents
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 5.83% at June 30, 2008. The interest cost to the Company on these
debentures was $121,000 in the quarter ending June 30, 2008 and $172,000 in the same period in
2007. The interest cost to the Company on these debentures was $265,000 for the six months
ending June 30, 2008 and $342,000 in the same period in 2007. 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.
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 4.15% at June 30, 2008. The
interest cost to the Company on these debentures was $105,000 for the quarter ending June 30, 2008
and $170,000 in the same period in 2007. The interest cost to the Company on these debentures was
$257,000 for the six months ending June 30, 2008 and $338,000 in the same period in 2007. 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 purchased its main office facility for $12.9 million
on July 1, 2008. In this transaction, the Company assumed an existing loan secured
by the building in an amount of approximately $5.0 million and took out a long-term borrowing for
$10 million to pay the remaining amount of the purchase price and provide additional funds for the
Company. Approximately 40% of the building is leased to other tenants and the Company will
continue to occupy the remaining 60% of the building. The Company
does not expect that the purchase of the main office facility will have a material effect on its financial condition.
At June 30, 2008, the Company held $11.1 million as OREO as compared to $4.4 million at December
31, 2007 and $717,000 a year ago. The Company expects to expend approximately $3.5 million
during 2008 to complete construction of these projects with an estimated completion date of
September 30, 2008 for a majority of them.

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 asset sensitive, meaning that interest-earning assets mature or reprice
more quickly than interest-bearing liabilities in a given period. Therefore, a significant increase
in market rates
of interest could positively impact net interest income. Conversely, a declining interest rate
environment may negatively impact net interest income.
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, 2008, indicate that, if interest rates immediately
increased by 100 basis points, the Company would experience an increase in net interest income of
approximately $548,000 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
in net interest income of approximately $932,000 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

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, 2008 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to
materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
