(unaudited)
June 30, 2009 and 2008
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
June 30, 2009 and 2008
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, except for changes in the
presentation of shareholders equity in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) Statement No. 160. The Company has evaluated the requirements of 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, 2009, are not necessarily indicative of the results anticipated for the year ending
December 31, 2009. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Companys
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.
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, 2008.
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS)
No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements (as amended) (SFAS 160).
The FASB issued FAS 160 during 2007 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the
non-controlling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. SFAS 160
clarifies that a non-controlling interest in a subsidiary, which is sometimes referred to as
minority interest, is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as
a component of equity in the consolidated financial statements. Among other requirements, SFAS
160 requires consolidated net income to be reported at amounts that include the amounts
attributable to both the parent and the non-controlling interest. It also requires disclosure, on
the face of the consolidated income statement, of the amounts of consolidated net income
attributable to the parent and to the non-controlling interest. The Company adopted SFAS 160 on
January 1, 2009 and affected presentation and disclosure items retroactively. The adoption of
SFAS 160 did not significantly impact the Companys financial condition and results of operations.

In January 2009, the FASB issued FSP EITF No. 99-20-1, Amendments to the Impairment Guidance of
EITF Issue No. 99-20 (FSP EITF 99-20-1). FSP EITF 99-20-1 amends the impairment guidance in EITF
Issue No. 99-20, Recognition of Interest Income and Impairment on Purchased Beneficial Interests
and Beneficial Interests That Continue to Be Held by a Transferor in Securitized Financial Asset
(EITF 99-20), to achieve more consistent determination of whether an other-than-temporary
impairment has occurred. FSP EITF 99-20-1 also retains and emphasizes the objective of an
other-than-temporary impairment assessment and the related disclosure requirements in SFAS No. 115,
Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities (SFAS 115), and other related
guidance. FSP EITF 99-20-1 applies to beneficial interests within the scope of Issue 99-20 and
amends EITF 99-20 to align the impairment guidance therein with that in SFAS 115 and related
implementation guidance. FSP EITF No.99-20-1 is effective for the Companys financial
statements for the year beginning on January 1, 2009 and

has been adopted prospectively. The adoption of FSP EITF No. 99-20-1 did not impact the Companys
financial condition and results of operations.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. 141(r)-1, Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities
Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies (FSP 141(r)-1). FSP 141(r)-1
amends and clarifies FASB Statement No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations, (SFAS 141(r))
to address application issues raised by preparers, auditors, and members of the legal profession on
initial recognition and measurement, subsequent measurement and accounting, and disclosure of
assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in a business combination. FSP 141(r)-1 applies
to all assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination that arise from
contingencies that would be within the scope of FASB Statement No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies
(as amended), if not acquired or assumed in a business combination, except for assets or
liabilities arising from contingencies that are subject to specific guidance in SFAS 141(r). FSP
141(r)-1 requires that an acquirer shall recognize at fair value, at the acquisition date, an asset
acquired or a liability assumed in a business combination that arises from a contingency if the
acquisition-date fair value of that asset or liability can be determined during the measurement
period. FSP 141(r)-1 is effective for the Companys financial statements for the year
beginning on January 1, 2009 and has been adopted prospectively. The adoption of FSP 141(r)-1 did
not impact the Companys financial condition and results of operations.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No.115-2, Recognition and Presentation of
Other-Than-Temporary-Impairment (FSP 115-2). FSP 115-2 amends the other-than-temporary
impairment guidance in U.S. GAAP for debt securities to make the guidance more operational and to
improve the presentation and disclosure of other-than-temporary impairments on debt and equity
securities in the financial statements. FSP 115-2 does not amend existing recognition and
measurement guidance related to other-than-temporary impairments of equity securities. Under
certain circumstances, only the amount of the estimated credit loss on debt securities with
other-than-temporary-impairment will be recorded through earnings while the remaining
mark-to-market loss is recognized through other comprehensive income. FSP 115-2 is effective for
the Companys financial statements for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009 and
has been adopted prospectively. The adoption of FSP 115-2 did not impact the Companys financial
condition and results of operations.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No.157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of
Activity for the Asset or Liability has Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions that
are Not Orderly (FSP 157-4). FSP 157-4 provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in
accordance with FASB Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, when the volume and level of
activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased. FSP 157-4 also includes guidance
on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. FSP 157-4 is effective
for the Companys financial statements for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009
and has been adopted prospectively. The adoption of FSP 157-4 did not impact the Companys
financial condition and results of operations.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No.107-1, Interim Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial
Instruments (FSP 107-1). FSP 107-1 amends FASB Statement No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value
of Financial Instruments, to require disclosures about the fair value of financial instruments for
interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies as well as in annual financial statements.
FSP 107-1 also amends APB Opinion No. 28, Interim Financial Reporting, to require those disclosures
in summarized financial information at interim reporting periods. FSP 107-1 is effective for the
Companys financial statements for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009 and has
been adopted prospectively. The adoption of FSP 107-1 did not impact the Companys financial
condition and results of operations.
In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS 165, Subsequent Events (SFAS 165). The objective of SFAS
165 is to establish general standards of accounting for, and disclosure of events that occur after
the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued.
SFAS 165 sets forth the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting
entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or
disclosure in the financial statements, the circumstances under which an entity should recognize
events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements, and the
disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance
sheet date. SFAS 165 is effective for the Companys financial statements for interim and annual
periods
- 8 -
Table of Contents
ending after June 15, 2009 and has been adopted prospectively. Management has reviewed events
occurring through August 7, 2009, the date the financial statements were issued, and no subsequent
events occurred requiring accrual or disclosure.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS 166, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets (SFAS 166).
SFAS 166 addresses practices that have developed since the issuance of SFAS 140, Accounting for
Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, that are not
consistent with the original intent and key requirements of that Statement as well as concerns of
financial statement users that many of the financial assets (and related obligations) that have
been derecognized should continue to be reported in the financial statements of transferors. SFAS
166 is effective for the Companys financial statements for interim and annual periods beginning
after November 15, 2009 and must be adopted prospectively. SFAS 166 must be applied to transfers
occurring on or after the effective date. Additionally, on and after the effective date, the
concept of a qualifying special purpose entity is no longer relevant for accounting purposes.
Therefore, formerly qualifying special-purpose entities (as defined under previous accounting
standards) should be evaluated for consolidation by reporting entities on and after the effective
date in accordance with the applicable consolidation guidance. If the evaluation on the effective
date results in consolidation, the reporting entity should apply the transition guidance provided
in the pronouncement that requires consolidation. Additionally, the disclosure provisions of SFAS
166 should be applied to transfers that occurred both before and after the effective date. The
Company does not expect that adoption of SFAS 166 will impact its financial condition and results
of operations.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation 46(R) (as amended) (SFAS
167). The FASBs objective in issuing SFAS 167 is to improve financial reporting by enterprises
involved with variable interest entities. SFAS 167 addresses the effects on certain provisions of
FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities
(FIN 46R) as a result of the elimination of the qualifying special-purpose entity concept in SFAS
166, and constituent concerns about the application of certain key provisions of FIN 46R, including
those in which the accounting and disclosures under the Interpretation do not always provide timely
and useful information about an enterprises involvement in a variable interest entity. SFAS 167
is effective for the Companys financial statements for annual and interim periods beginning after
November 15, 2009 and must be adopted prospectively. The Company does not expect that adoption of
SFAS 167 will impact its financial condition and results of operations.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the
Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (SFAS 168). The FASB Accounting Standards
Codification (Codification) will become the source of authoritative GAAP recognized by the FASB
to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of
authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. On the effective date of SFAS 168, the Codification will
supersede all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other
non-grandfathered, non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification will become
non-authoritative. Following this Statement, the Board will not issue new standards in the form of
Statements, FASB Staff Positions, or Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts. Instead, it will issue
Accounting Standards Updates (ASU). The Board will not consider ASUs as authoritative in their
own right. ASUs will serve only to update the Codification, provide background information about
the guidance, and provide the bases for conclusions on changes in the Codification. FASB Statement
No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (SFAS 162) which became
effective on November 13, 2008, identified the sources of accounting principles and the framework
for selecting the principles used in preparing the financial statements of nongovernmental entities
that are presented in conformity with GAAP. SFAS 162 arranged these sources of GAAP in a hierarchy
for users to apply accordingly. Once the Codification is in effect, all of its content will carry
the same level of authority, effectively superseding SFAS 162. In other words, the GAAP hierarchy
will be modified to include only two levels of GAAP: authoritative and non-authoritative. As a
result, SFAS 168 replaces SFAS 162 to indicate this change to the GAAP hierarchy. In June 2009,
the FASB also issued ASU No. 2009-01, Topic 105 Generally Accepted Accounting Principals (ASU
2009-01). ASU 2009-01 amends the Codification for the issuance of SFAS 168. SFAS 168 is
effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15,
2009 and must be adopted prospectively.

3. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLES
As part of the acquisition of branches from Bank of America in 1999, the Company recorded $6.9
million of goodwill and $2.9 million of core deposit intangible (CDI). In 2007, the Company
finished amortizing the CDI related to the Bank of America acquisition. As part of the stock
acquisition of Alaska First Bank & Trust, N.A. (Alaska First) in October 2007, the Company
recorded $2.1 million of goodwill and $1.3 million of CDI for the acquisition of Alaska First
stock. The Company is amortizing the CDI related to the Alaska First acquisition using the sum
of years digits method over the estimated useful life of 10 years. In the first quarter of
2008, the Company recorded a $289,000 decrease in goodwill related to the Alaska First
acquisition to adjust the net deferred tax assets carried over to the Companys financial
statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 141, Business Combinations (Revised 2007).
The Company performed goodwill impairment testing at June 30, 2009 in accordance with the policy
described in Note 1 of the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2008. There was no triggering event at June 30, 2009 that would require the Company to perform
impairment testing. The Company continues to monitor the Companys goodwill for potential
impairment on an ongoing basis. No assurance can be given that we will not charge earnings
during 2009 for goodwill impairment, if, for example, our stock price declines further and
continues to trade at a significant discount to its book value, although there are many factors
that we analyze in determining the impairment of goodwill.

5. ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES, NONPERFORMING ASSETS, AND LOANS MEASURED FOR IMPAIRMENT
The Company maintains an Allowance for Loan Losses (the 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
- 10 -
Table of Contents
(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.
Our banking regulators, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the
Companys Allowance. Our 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.
The Company recorded a provision for loan losses in the amount of $2.1 million and $3.5 million,
respectively, for the three and six-month periods ending June 30, 2009 based upon its analysis of
its loan portfolio as noted above. The following table details activity in the Allowance for the

At June 30, 2009, December 31, 2008, and June 30, 2008, the Company had impaired loans of $67.1
million, $79.7 million, and $84.9 million, respectively. A specific allowance of $3.3 million, $3.2
million, and $3.7 million, respectively, was established for these loans for the periods noted. The
decrease in impaired loans at June 30, 2009, as compared to December 31, 2008, resulted mainly from
payoffs, pay-downs, or charge-offs of five commercial real estate properties, two land development
projects, three commercial loans, and one residential construction project, and the transfer of
twenty five residential lots in two different developments and three condominiums to OREO in the
six months ended June 30, 2009. These decreases were partially offset by the addition of two land
development projects, one commercial real estate property, two commercial properties, and one
residential construction project. The decrease in impaired loans at December 31, 2008, as compared
to June 30, 2008, resulted from the payoffs, pay-downs, or charge-offs of three land development
projects, two residential construction projects, one commercial loan, two commercial real estate
loans, and the transfer of one condominium to OREO in the six months ended December 31, 2008.
These decreases were partially offset by the addition of three residential construction projects,
three land development projects, three commercial loans and two commercial real estate loans that
were not included in impaired loans at June 30, 2008.
At June 30, 2009, December 31, 2008, and June 30, 2008 the Company held $11.6 million, $12.6
million and $11.1 million, respectively, as OREO. The Company expects to expend approximately
$370,000 in 2009 to complete construction of these projects with an estimated completion date of
September 30, 2009.

The unrealized losses on investments in government sponsored entities, corporate bonds and
municipal securities were caused by interest rate increases. At June 30, 2009, there were four
available-for-sale securities in an unrealized loss position of $70,000. The contractual terms of
these investments do not permit the issuer to settle the securities at a price less than the
amortized cost of the investment. Because the Company has the ability and intent to hold these
investments until a market price recovery or maturity, these investments are not considered
other-than-temporarily impaired.

Table of Contents
securities of $70,000, $446,000 and $354,000, respectively. Both available for sale and held to
maturity securities may be pledged as collateral to secure public deposits. At June 30, 2009, $51.3
million in securities, or 49%, of the investment portfolio was pledged, as compared to $67.4
million, or 44%, at December 31, 2008, and $47.8 million, or 37%, at June 30, 2008.
The Company evaluated its investment in FHLB stock for other-than-temporary impairment as of June
30, 2009, consistent with its accounting policy. Based on the Companys evaluation of the
underlying investment, including the long-term nature of the investment, the liquidity position of
the FHLB of Seattle, the actions being taken by the FHLB of Seattle to address its regulatory
capital situation and the Companys intent and ability to hold the investment for a period of time
sufficient to recover the par value, the Company did not recognize an other-than-temporary
impairment loss. Even though the Company did not recognize an other-than-temporary impairment loss
during the six-month period ending June 30, 2009, continued deterioration in the FHLB of Seattles
financial position may result in future impairment losses.
7. OTHER OPERATING INCOME
The Company, through Northrim Capital Investments Co. (NCIC), a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Northrim Bank, owns a 50.1% interest in Northrim Benefits Group, LLC (NBG). The Company
consolidates the balance sheet and income statement of NBG into its financial statements and notes
the non controlling interest in this subsidiary as a separate line item on its financial
statements. In the three-month periods ending June 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company included
employee benefit plan income from NBG of $447,000 and $352,000, respectively, in its Other
Operating Income. The Company included employee benefit plan income from NBG of $813,000 and
$659,000, respectively, in its Other Operating Income in the six-month periods ending June 30, 2009
and 2008. These increases are the result of an increase in NBGs customers as well as an increase
in the commission income that NBG earned from the sale of employee benefit plans.
The Company also owns a 24% interest in Residential Mortgage Holding Company, LLC (RML Holding
Company) through NCIC. In the three-month period ending June 30, 2009, the Companys earnings
from RML Holding Company increased by $491,000 to $764,000 as compared to $273,000 for the
three-month period ending June 30, 2008. In the six-month period ending June 30, 2009, the
Companys earnings from RML Holding Company increased by $1.3 million to $1.6 million as compared
to $306,000 for the six-month period ending June 30, 2008. These increases are the result of
increased refinancing activity in response to the decrease in home mortgage interest rates.
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
$610,000 as of June 30, 2009. The Companys share of the loss from Elliott Cove for the second
quarter of 2009 was $28,000, as compared to a loss of $16,000 in the second quarter of 2008. In the
six-month period ending June 30, 2009, the Companys share of the loss from Elliott Cove was
$93,000 as compared to a loss of $53,000 for the six-month period ending June 30, 2008. The losses
from Elliott Cove were 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 $37,000 in the second quarter of 2009 and $80,000 for the six months ending June 30, 2009
as compared to $64,000 in the second quarter of 2008 and $136,000 for the six months ending June
30, 2008. A portion of these commissions are paid to the Companys employees and accounted for as
salary expense. There were no commission payments in the six months ending June 30, 2009.
Payments totaled $9,000 and $14,000 for the three and six-month periods ending June 30, 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, 2009, the Companys earnings
from

Table of Contents
PWA decreased by $21,000 to a loss of $16,000 as compared to earnings of $5,000 for the three-month
period ending June 30, 2008. During the six-month period ending June 30, 2009, the Companys
earnings from PWA decreased by $37,000 to a loss of $21,000 as compared to earnings of $16,000 for
the six-month period ending June 30, 2008.
8. DEPOSIT ACTIVITIES
Total deposits at June 30, 2009, December 31, 2008 and June 30, 2008 were $819.1 million, $843.4
million and $902.0 million, respectively. The decrease in deposits is largely due to a decrease in
deposits for one customer that was offset in part by an increase in public deposits that the
Company holds in certificates of deposit for the Alaska Permanent Fund Corporation. At June 30,
2009, December 31, 2008 and June 30, 2008, the Company held $35.2 million, $45 million and $25
million, respectively, in 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. There were no depositors with deposits representing 10% or more of total deposits at June
30, 2009, December 31, 2008 or June 30, 2008.
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, 2009 was 481,431, which includes 220,246 shares granted
under the 2004 Plan leaving 63,298 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 $90,000 and $75,000 on the fair value of restricted stock units
and $60,000 and $77,000 on the fair value of stock options for a total of $150,000 and $152,000 in
stock-based compensation expense for the three-month periods ending June 30, 2009 and 2008,
respectively. For the six-month periods ending June 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company recognized
expense of $178,000 and $151,000, respectively, on the fair value of restricted stock units and
$121,000 and $153,000, respectively, on the fair value of stock options for a total of $299,000 and
$304,000, respectively, in stock-based compensation expense.
Proceeds from the exercise of stock options for the three months ended June 30, 2009 were
$71,000. The Company withheld shares valued at $68,000 to pay for stock option exercises or income
taxes that resulted from the exercise of stock options or the vesting of restricted stock units for
the three-month period ending June 30, 2009. The Company recognized tax deductions of $15,000
related to the exercise of these stock options and $41,000 related to the vesting of restricted
stock units during the quarter ended June 30, 2009. There were no stock options exercised or
restricted stock units that vested during the second quarter of 2008.
Proceeds from the exercise of stock options for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 were $71,000
and $232,000, respectively. The Company withheld shares valued at $72,000 and $287,000 to pay for stock
option exercises or income taxes that resulted from the exercise of stock options or the vesting of restricted
stock units for the six-month periods ending June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The Company
recognized tax deductions of $15,000 and $90,000, respectively, related to the exercise of stock options
during the six-months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The Company recognized tax
deductions of $41,000 related to the vesting of restricted stock
units during the six months ended June 30,
2009. There were no restricted stock units that vested during the
six months ended June 30, 2008.

10. FAIR VALUE OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
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.
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 methods and assumptions were used to estimate fair value disclosures. All financial
instruments are held for other than trading purposes.
Cash and Money Market Investments: Due to the short term nature of these instruments, the carrying
amounts reported in the balance sheet represent their fair values.
Investment Securities: Fair values for investment securities 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. Investments in Federal Home Loan Bank stock are recorded at
cost, which also represents fair value.
Loans: In 2009, fair value adjustments for loans are mainly related to credit risk, interest rate
risk, and liquidity risk. Credit risk is primarily addressed in the financial statements through
the allowance for loan losses (see Note 5). Impaired loans are recorded at fair value through the
specific valuation allowance which is based on the estimated value of underlying collateral less
estimated selling costs. Specific valuation allowances are included in the allowance for loan
losses. Interest rate risk on fixed rate loans is addressed using a discounted cash flow
methodology. A discount rate was developed based on the relative risk of the cash flows, taking
into account the maturity of the loans and comparable average interest rates for loans within each
maturity band. An additional liquidity risk is estimated for both fixed and variable loans
primarily using observable, historical sales of loans during periods of similar economic
conditions. The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable approximates its fair value. Loan
values presented for comparative purposes at June 30, 2008 were discounted using expected future
cash flows, and impaired loans were recorded as described above in accordance with SFAS 114.
Purchased Receivables: Fair values for purchased receivables are based on their carrying amounts
due to their short duration and repricing frequency.
Other real estate owned: Other real estate owned represents properties acquired through
foreclosure or its equivalent. The fair value of other real estate owned is determined based on
managements estimate of the fair value of individual properties. Significant inputs into this
estimate include independently prepared appraisals, resent sales data for similar properties, our
assessment of current market conditions and estimated costs to complete projects. These valuation
inputs generally result in a fair value measurement that is categorized as a Level 3 measurement,
including when management determines that discounts on appraised values are required. When
appraised values are not discounted, fair value measurements are categorized as Level 2
measurements.
- 17 -
Table of Contents
Deposit Liabilities: The fair values of demand and savings deposits are equal to the carrying
amount at the reporting date. The carrying amount for variable-rate time deposits approximate
their fair value. Fair values for fixed-rate time deposits are estimated using a discounted cash
flow calculation that applies currently offered interest rates to a schedule of aggregate expected
monthly maturities of time deposits. The carrying amount of accrued interest payable approximates
its fair value.
Borrowings: Due to the short term nature of these instruments, the carrying amount of short-term
borrowings reported in the balance sheet approximate the fair value. Fair values for fixed-rate
long-term borrowings are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies currently
offered interest rates to a schedule of aggregate expected monthly payments.
Junior Subordinated Debentures: Fair value adjustments for junior subordinated debentures are based
on the current discounted cash flows to maturity. Management utilized a market approach to
determine the appropriate discount rate for junior subordinated debentures.
Assets subject to non-recurring adjustment to fair value: Effective January 1, 2009, in accordance
with FASB Staff Position 157-2, 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. Any
nonrecurring adjustments to fair value usually result from the write down of individual assets.
Commitments to Extend Credit and Standby Letters of Credit: The fair value of commitments is
estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account
the remaining terms of the agreements and the present creditworthiness of the counterparties. For
fixed-rate loan commitments, fair value also considers the difference between current levels of
interest rates and the committed rates. The fair value of letters of credit is based on fees
currently charged for similar agreements or on the estimated cost to terminate them or otherwise
settle the obligation with the counterparties at the reporting date.
- 18 -
Table of Contents
Limitations: Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market
information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates do not reflect any
premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Companys entire
holdings of a particular financial instrument. Because no market exists for a significant portion
of the Companys financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding
future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various
financial instruments, and other factors. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve
uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with
precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

OVERVIEW
GENERAL
Northrim BanCorp, Inc. (the Company) is a publicly traded bank holding company (Nasdaq: NRIM)
with four wholly-owned subsidiaries: Northrim Bank (the Bank), a state chartered, full-service
commercial bank, Northrim Investment Services Company (NISC), which we formed in November 2002 to
hold the Companys equity interest in Elliott Cove Capital Management LLC (Elliott Cove), an
investment advisory services company; Northrim Capital Trust 1 (NCT1), an entity that we formed
in May 2003 to facilitate a trust preferred securities offering by the Company, and Northrim
Statutory Trust 2 (NST2), an entity that we formed in December 2005 to facilitate a trust
preferred securities offering by the Company. The Company also holds a 24% interest in the profits
and losses of a residential mortgage holding company, Residential Mortgage Holding Company, LLC
(RML Holding Company), through the Banks wholly-owned subsidiary, Northrim Capital Investments
Co. (NCIC). Residential Mortgage LLC (RML), the predecessor of RML Holding Company, was formed
in 1998 and has offices throughout Alaska. We also operate in the Washington and Oregon market
areas through Northrim Funding Services (NFS), a division of the Bank that we started in the
third quarter of 2004. This division also began operating in Alaska in the second quarter of 2008.
NFS purchases accounts receivable from its customers and provides them with working capital. In
addition, through NCIC, we hold a 50.1% interest in Northrim Benefits Group, LLC (NBG), an
insurance brokerage company that focuses on the sale and servicing of employee benefit plans. In
the first quarter of 2006, through NISC, we purchased a 24% interest in Pacific Wealth Advisors,
LLC (PWA), an investment advisory and wealth management business located in Seattle, Washington.
Finally, in the third quarter of 2008, the Bank formed another wholly-owned subsidiary, Northrim
Building, LLC (NBL), which owns and operates the Companys main office facility at 3111 C Street
in Anchorage. NBL purchased the building in the third quarter of 2008.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles. The Companys accounting policies are fundamental to understanding
managements discussion and analysis of results of operations and financial condition. The Company
has identified three policies as being critical because they require management to make estimates,
assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, contingent
assets and liabilities, and revenues and expenses included in the consolidated financial
statements. The judgments and assumptions used by management are based on historical experience
and other factors, which are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Circumstances and
events that differ significantly from those underlying the Companys estimates,
- 21 -
Table of Contents
assumptions and judgments could cause the actual amounts reported to differ significantly from
these estimates.
The Companys critical accounting policies include those that address the accounting for the
allowance for loan losses, the valuation of goodwill and other intangible assets, and the valuation
of other real estate owned. The Company has not made any significant changes in its critical
accounting policies or its estimates and assumptions from those disclosed in its Form 10-K as of
December 31, 2008. These critical accounting policies are further described in Managements
Discussion and Analysis and in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements in the Companys Form 10-K as of December 31, 2008. Management
has applied its critical accounting policies and estimation methods consistently in all periods
presented in these financial statements.
Several new accounting pronouncements became effective for the Company on January 1, 2009. See
Note 2 of this Form 10-Q for a summary of the pronouncements and discussion of the impact of their
adoption on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
See note 2 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q for further
details.
SUMMARY OF SECOND QUARTER RESULTS
At June 30, 2009, the Company had assets of $975.7 million and gross loans of $684.9 million,
decreases of 6% and 4%, respectively, as compared to the balances for these accounts at June 30,
2008. As compared to balances at December 31, 2008, total assets and total loans at June 30, 2009
decreased by 3% and 4%, respectively. The Companys net income and diluted earnings per share for
the three months ended June 30, 2009, were $1.9 million and $0.29, respectively, increases of 30%
and 32%, respectively, as compared to the same period in 2008. For the quarter ended June 30, 2009,
the Companys net interest income increased by $200,000, or 2%, its provision for loan losses
increased by $118,000, or 6%, its other operating income increased $809,000, or 28%, and its other
operating expenses increased by $124,000, or 1%, as compared to the second quarter a year ago.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
NET INCOME
Net income attributable to Northrim Bancorp for the quarter ended June 30, 2009, was $1.9
million, or $0.29, per diluted share, increases of 30% and 32%, respectively, each as compared to
net income of $1.4 million and diluted earnings per share of $0.22, respectively, for the second
quarter of 2008.
The increase in net income attributable to Northrim Bancorp for the three-month period ending
June 30, 2009 as compared to the same period a year ago is the result of an increase in other
operating income of $809,000 and an increase in net interest income of $200,000. These increases
were partially offset by a $314,000 increase in the provision for income taxes, a $124,000 increase
in other operating expenses and a $118,000 increase in the loan loss provision for the three-month
period ending June 30, 2009 as compared to the same period a year ago. The increase in other
operating income for the second quarter of 2009 was primarily the result of a $491,000 increase in
earnings from the Companys mortgage affiliate, a $191,000 increase in rental income, and a
$133,000 increase in gain on the sale other real estate owned. The slight increase in the
Companys net interest income for the second quarter of 2009 as compared to the second quarter of
2008 was caused by larger declines in its cost of funds as compared to decreases in the yield of
its earning assets. The Companys cost of funds declined due to a decrease in
interest-bearing liabilities and an increase in demand deposits. The provision for income taxes
increased by $314,000 in the second quarter of 2009 as compared to the same period in 2008 due to
increased pre-tax income, as well as a decreased tax credits relative to the level of taxable
income. The increase in other operating expense for the second quarter of 2009
- 22 -
Table of Contents
is primarily the result of a $735,000 increase in insurance expense related to FDIC insurance
which was partially offset by a $594,000 decrease in expenses related to OREO. The provision for
loan losses increased slightly by $118,000 in the second quarter of 2009 to account for the
combined effect of loan charge-offs and changes in the specific allowance for impaired loans. The
increase in earnings per diluted share for the second quarter of 2009 as compared to the second
quarter of 2008 was caused by the increase in net income in the second quarter of 2009.
Net income attributable to Northrim Bancorp for the six months ended June 30, 2009, was $3.8
million, or $0.60 per diluted share, increases of 7% and 7%, respectively, as compared to $3.6
million and diluted earnings per share of $0.56, respectively, for the same period in 2008.
The increase in net income attributable to Northrim Bancorp for the six-month period ending June
30, 2009 as compared to the same period a year ago is the result of an increase in other operating
income of $2 million, a decrease in the loan loss provision of $207,000 and an $88,000 decrease in
the provision for income taxes. These changes were partially offset by a $1.2 million increase in
other operating expenses and an $819,000 decrease in net interest income for the six-month period
ending June 30, 2009 as compared to the same period a year ago. The increase in other operating
income for the six-month period ending June 30, 2009 was primarily the result of a $1.3 million
increase in earnings from the Companys mortgage affiliate, a $387,000 increase in rental income,
and a $241,000 increase in gain on the sale of other real estate owned. The decrease in the
Companys loan loss provision for the six-month period ending
June 30, 2009 was due to the decrease in the specific allowance
for impaired loans which was due to charge offs and payoffs
of loans measured for impairment. The slight decrease in the Companys provision for income taxes
in the six-month period ending June 30, 2009 as compared to the
same period in 2008 was due to
increased tax credits relative to the level of taxable income for the two periods. The increase in
other operating expense for the six-month period ending June 30,
2009 was primarily the result of a
$1.2 million increase in insurance expense related to FDIC insurance and a $316,000 increase in
salary and benefit costs due mainly to increased group medical costs. These increases in other
operating costs for the six month period ending June 30, 2009 were partially offset by a $291,000
decrease in expenses related to OREO. The decrease in the Companys net interest income for the
six-month period ending June 30, 2009 was caused by a 0.87% decrease in the yield on its
interest-earning assets. Interest-earning assets averaged $868.5 million and $885.4 million,
respectively, for the six months ending June 30, 2009 and 2008. The Companys cost of funds on
interest-bearing liabilities, which averaged $635.6 million and $672.4 million, respectively, for
the six months ending June 30, 2009 and 2008, decreased by 1.02% for the six months ending June 30,
2009 as compared to the same period in 2008. The Companys
average cost of funds decreased more than the yield on average interest-earning assets for the six
months ending June 30, 2009 as compared to the same period in 2008. However, the decrease in yield
on interest-earning assets for the six month period ending June 30, 2009 had a greater affect on
the margin during the period than the decrease in cost of funds for interest-bearing liabilities,
because the average balances of interest-earning assets were approximately $230 million higher than
the average balances of interest-bearing liabilities. The increase in earnings per diluted share
for the second quarter of 2009 as compared to the second quarter of 2008 was caused by the increase
in net income in the second quarter of 2009.
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 2009 increased $200,000, or 2%, to $11.7 million from $11.5
million in the second quarter of 2008 because of larger reductions in interest expense, accompanied
by a smaller decrease in the yields on the Companys loans. Net interest income for the six-month
period ending June 30, 2009 decreased $819,000, or 3%, to $22.8 million from $23.7 million in the
same period in 2008 due to a decrease in interest income, accompanied by a smaller decrease in
interest expense. The following table compares average balances and rates for the quarters ending
June 30, 2009 and 2008:

Interest-earning assets averaged $860.2 million and $893.3 million for the three-month periods
ending June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, a decrease of $33.2 million, or 4%. The tax
equivalent yield on interest-earning assets averaged 5.48% and 5.20%, respectively, for the
three-month periods ending June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, an increase of 28 basis points.
Loans, the largest category of interest-earning assets, decreased by $5.5 million, or 1%, to an
average of $698.2 million in the second quarter of 2009 from $703.8 million in the second quarter
of 2008. During the six-month period ending June 30, 2009, loans decreased by $3.6 million, or 1%,
to an average of $701.9 million from an average of $705.5 million for the six-month period ending
June 30, 2008. Commercial, construction and home equity lines and other consumer decreased by $6.2
million, $38.6 million and $3.6 on average, respectively, between the second quarters of 2009 and
2008. Commercial real estate loans increased by $32.7 million on average between the second
quarters of 2009 and 2008. During the six-month period ending June 30, 2009, commercial,
construction and home equity lines and other consumer loans decreased by $3.2 million, $38.6
million, and $2.2 million, respectively, on average as compared to the six-month period ending June
30, 2008. Commercial real estate loans increased $31.3 million on average between the six-month
periods ending June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008. Additionally, the Company had $10.5 million in
real estate loans for sale on average in the three months ended June 30, 2009, and no real estate
loans for sale during the same period in 2008. The Company had $9.3 million in real estate loans
for sale on average in the six months ended June 30, 2009, and no real estate loans for sale during
the same period in 2008. The decline in the loan portfolio resulted from a combination of refinance
and loan payoff activity and a decrease in construction loan originations. We expect the loan
portfolio to decrease slightly in the future with moderate growth in commercial real estate and
commercial loans offset by further decreases in construction loans due to lower residential
construction activity, and decreases home equity lines and other consumer loans as more of these
types of loans are paid off due to the increase in mortgage refinance activity. In addition,
management intends to continue to aggressively reduce its loans measured for impairment and OREO,
much of which is secured by residential construction and land development loans, which is expected
to lead to further decreases in construction loan balances. The yield on the loan portfolio
averaged 7.13% for the second quarter of 2009, a decrease of 46 basis points from 7.59% over the
same quarter a year ago. During the six-month period ending June 30, 2009, the yield on the loan
portfolio averaged 7.03%, a decrease of 88 basis points from 7.91% over the same six-month period
in 2008.
Average investments decreased $27.6 million, or 15%, to $161.9 million for the second quarter of
2009 from $189.5 million in the second quarter of 2008. For the six-month period ending June 30,
2009, average investments decreased $13.2 million or 7% to $166.6 million from $179.9 million in
the same period in 2008.
Interest-bearing liabilities averaged $605.4 million for the second quarter of 2009, a decrease of
$70.8 million, or 10%, compared to $676.3 million for the same period in 2008. For the six-month
period ending June 30, 2009, interest-bearing liabilities averaged $635.6 million, a decrease of
$36.8 million, or 5%, compared to $672.4 million for the same period in 2008. The average cost of
interest-bearing liabilities decreased 84 basis points to 1.19% for the second quarter of 2009
compared to 2.03% for the second quarter of 2008. The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities
decreased 102 basis points to 1.24% for the six-month period ending June 30, 2009 as compared to
2.26% for the same period in 2008. The decrease in the average cost of funds in 2009 as compared
to 2008 is largely due to the interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve that were made throughout
2008. As a result, many other interest rates declined during the year, which contributed to a
decline in deposit rates.
The Companys net interest income as a percentage of average interest-earning assets (net
tax-equivalent margin) was 5.48% and 5.34%, respectively, for the three and six-month periods
ending June 30, 2009 as compared to 5.20% and 5.41% for the same periods in 2008. The decrease in
funding costs for the three-month period ending June 30, 2009 resulted in an increase in net
tax-equivalent margin. However, in the six-month period ending June 30, 2009, the decrease in
interest income exceeded the decrease in interest expense, as noted above, resulting in a slight
decrease in the net tax-equivalent margin.

Total other operating income for the second quarter of 2009 was $3.7 million, an increase of
$809,000 from $2.8 million in the second quarter of 2008. Total other operating income for the six
months ending June 30, 2009 was $7.2 million, an increase of $2.0 million from $5.3 million in same
period in 2008. This increase was due primarily to increases in income from our equity in earnings
from our mortgage affiliate and rental income.
The Companys share of the earnings from its 24% interest in its mortgage affiliate, RML, increased
by $491,000 and $1.3 million, respectively, to $764,000 and $1.6 million during the three and
six-month periods ending June 30, 2009 as compared to $273,000 and $306,000 in the same periods in
2008. The increase in earnings resulted from increased refinance activity that began in the fourth
quarter of 2008 and continued through the second quarter of 2009. The Company expects that the
level of mortgage refinance activity will decrease in future periods in 2009, which will result in
the Company receiving a lower level of earnings from its interest in RML.
Service charges on the Companys deposit accounts decreased by $113,000 and $272,000, respectively,
or 13% and 16%, to $775,000 and $1.5 million for the three and six-month periods ending June 30,
2009, as compared to $888,000 and $1.8 million for the same periods in 2008. The decrease in
service charges was primarily the result of a decrease in fees collected on non-sufficient funds
transactions due to a decrease in the number of overdraft transactions processed during the three
and six-month periods ending June 30, 2009.
Income from the Companys purchased receivable products decreased by $44,000, or 8%, to $474,000
for the three-month period ending June 30, 2009 as compared to $518,000 for the same period ending
in June 30, 2008. Income from the Companys purchased receivable products increased by $185,000,
or 18%, to $1.2 million for the six-month period ending June 30, 2009 as compared to $1 million for
the same period in 2008. 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 fluctuate as the Company adds new
customers while some of its existing customers will move into different products to meet their
working capital needs. For example, at the end of the three month-period ending March 31, 2009, one
of the Companys purchased receivable customers sold a portion of its business and used those
proceeds to repay its purchased receivable balance which accounted for a part of the decrease in
purchased receivable revenues for the three month period ending June 30, 2009 as compared to
revenues for the three month period ending June 30, 2008. The increase in purchased receivable
income for the six-month period ending June 30,

2009 as compared to the same period in 2008 resulted from higher average balances in 2009 as compared to 2008.
Employee benefit plan income from NBG was $447,000 and $813,000, respectively, for the three and
six-month periods ending June 30, 2009 as compared to $352,000 and $659,000 for the same periods in
2008 for increases of $95,000 and $154,000, respectively, or 27% and 23%. This increase in
employee benefit plan income is a reflection of NBGs ability to provide additional products and
services to an increasing client base.
The Companys electronic banking revenue increased by $59,000 and $123,000, respectively, or 20%
and 23%, for the three and six-month periods ending June 30, 2009 to $351,000 and $661,000 from
$292,000 and $538,000 at June 30, 2008. These increases resulted from additional fees collected
from increased point-of-sale and ATM transactions. The point-of-sale and ATM fees have increased
as a result of the increased number of deposit accounts that the Company has acquired through the
marketing of the high performance checking (HPC) product and overall continued increased usage of
point-of-sale transactions by the entire customer base.
Rental income increased by $191,000 and $387,000, respectively, or 1124% and 1433%, to $208,000
and $414,000 for the three and six-month periods ending June 30, 2009 from $17,000 and $27,000 for
the same periods in 2008. This increase resulted from the purchase of the Companys main office
facility through NBL in July 2008. The Company leases approximately 40% of the building to other
companies and earned $189,000 and $377,000, respectively, from these leases in the three and
six-month periods ending June 30, 2009.
Loan servicing fees increased by $36,000 and $48,000, respectively, or 29% and 19%, to $162,000 and
$298,000 for the three and six-month periods ending June 30, 2009 from $126,000 and $250,000 for
the same periods in 2008. These increases were the result of fees on real estate loans that have
been sold.
Merchant credit card transaction fees decreased by $41,000 and $64,000, respectively, or 37% and
29%, to $70,000 and $153,000 for the three and six-month periods ending June 30, 2009 from $111,000
and $217,000 for the same periods in 2008. This decrease resulted from both a decrease in the
number of transactions processed by merchants and a decrease in average transaction fees due to
competitive pressures.
The Companys share of losses from its 48% interest in Elliott Cove increased by $12,000 and
$40,000, respectively, or 75% each to $28,000 and $93,000 for the three and six-month periods
ending June 30, 2009 from losses of $16,000 and $53,000 for the same periods in 2008. The
increased losses from Elliott Cove resulted from a decrease in Elliott Coves revenues that was
caused by a decrease in its assets under management for both the three and six-month periods ending
June 30, 2009.
Gain on sale of securities available for sale increased by $96,000, or 96%, for both the three and
six-month periods ending June 30, 2009 as compared to the same periods in 2008.
The Company recognized $115,000 and $223,000, respectively, in net gains on the sale of other real
estate owned in the three and six-month periods ending June 30, 2009. During the second quarter of
2009, the Company sold eight condominium units, six residential lots, and one single family
residence. In addition to these properties, the Company also sold four houses, two condominiums,
and a number of developed residential lots in the three-month period ending March 31, 2009, with
most of the property located in the greater Anchorage area. The Company recognized an $18,000 loss
on the sale of one single family residence in the second quarter of 2008. There were no sales of
other real estate owned in the first quarter of 2008.
Other income decreased by $82,000 and $205,000, respectively, or 41% and 46%, during the three and
six-month periods ending June 30, 2009 to $116,000 and $245,000 from $198,000 and $450,000 in the
same periods in 2008. These decreases were primarily the result of decreases in the Companys
commissions from the sale of Elliott Cove products as well as losses incurred by the Companys
affiliate PWA and decreases in construction loan fees. Additionally, the Company received $56,000
in proceeds

Total other operating expense for the second quarter of 2009 was $10.5 million, an increase of
$124,000 from $10.4 million in the second quarter of 2008. Total other operating expense for the
six months ended June 30, 2009 was $21.1 million, an increase of $1.2 million from $19.9 million in
the same period in 2008. These increases were primarily due to increases in insurance and salary
and benefit costs which were partially offset by a decrease in costs related to other real estate
owned.
Salaries and benefits increased by $268,000 and $316,000, respectively, or 5% and 3%, for the three
and six-month periods ending June 30, 2009 as compared to the same periods a year ago due primarily
to increased group medical costs.
Insurance expense increased by $735,000 and $1.2 million, respectively, or 328% and 197%, to
$959,000 and $1.8 million for the three and six-month periods ending June 30, 2009 from $224,000
and $594,000 in the same periods in 2008. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase
in FDIC insurance expense that was due to changes in the assessment of FDIC insurance premiums. In
addition to this increase, the FDIC made a special assessment on all FDIC insured financial
institutions in the second quarter of 2009 that was in addition to the regular quarterly
assessments for deposit insurance. This special assessment was designed to add reserves to the FDIC
insurance fund and totaled $420,000 for the Company. The FDIC has indicated that it may make
another special assessment in a similar amount later in 2009 depending upon the status of the FDIC
insurance fund.
Occupancy expense increased by $68,000 and $149,000, respectively, or 8% and 9%, for the three and
six-month periods ending June 30, 2009 as compared to the same periods in 2008 largely due to the
Companys acquisition of its main office facility for $12.9 million on July 1, 2008.
OREO expenses decreased to $448,000 and $844,000, respectively, or 57% and 26%, for the three and
six-month periods ending June 30, 2009 from $1 million and $1.1 million in the same periods in
2008. These decreases were primarily the result of decreased impairment charges that arose from
adjustments to the Companys estimate of the fair value of certain properties. These impairment
charges decreased by $677,000 and $481,000, respectively, for the three and six-month periods
ending June 30, 2009 as compared to the same periods in 2008. These decreases were partially
offset by increases in taxes and insurance expense and property management costs that arose from
increased average balances of properties under management in both the three and six-month periods
ending June 30, 2009. Taxes and insurance and property management

costs increased by $76,000 and $53,000, respectively, in the second quarter of 2009 and
$58,000 and $140,000, respectively, in the six months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to the same
periods in 2008. For the remainder of 2009, the Company expects to incur lower overall OREO
expenses due in large part to lower expected impairment charges on its OREO properties. Although
we cannot guarantee that we will be successful, by December 31, 2009, the Company intends to reduce
the total of its loans measured for impairment and OREO by 20% from December 31, 2008 levels.
Marketing expenses decreased by $75,000 and $147,000, respectively, or 19% each, for the three and
six-month periods ending June 30, 2009 as compared to the same periods a year ago primarily due to
decreased HPC promotion costs and charitable contributions. While we expect decreased marketing
costs related to the Companys HPC consumer and business products in 2009, we still expect the Bank
to increase its deposit accounts and balances as it continues to utilize 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 marketing costs associated with
the HPC Program.
Professional and outside services decreased by $94,000 and $25,000, or 23% and 4%, for the three
and six-month periods ending June 30, 2009 as compared to the same periods a year ago. The
decrease for the second quarter of 2009 as compared to the second
quarter of 2008 was due to
decreases in other outside services, consulting fees and legal fees of $73,000, $47,000 and
$46,000, respectively. These decreases were partially offset by an increase of $47,000 in
accounting fees. The decrease for the six months ending June 30, 2009 as compared to the same
period in 2008 was due to decreases in other outside services and consulting fees of $62,000 and
$114,000, respectively. The decreases in other outside services are primarily due to decreases in
fees paid for out-sourced internal audit services. The decreases in
consulting fees were primarily
due to the fact that in 2008, the Company paid fees to former Alaska First employees for services
rendered to facilitate the transition of Alaska First operations to the Company. No fees were paid
to former Alaska First employees in 2009. The offsetting increases in accounting fees resulted
from fees paid to consultants for analysis of the Companys goodwill in accordance with SFAS No.
142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets for the year ended December 31, 2008 and the quarter
ended March 31, 2009. See further discussion at Note 3, Goodwill and Other Intangibles.
Other expense decreased by $185,000, or 11%, for the second quarter of 2009 as compared to the
second quarter of 2008 and was consistent with prior year for the six-month period ending June 30,
2009. The decrease for the second quarter of 2009 was primarily due to decreases in loan collateral
and loan taxes and insurance costs during the three-month period ending June 30, 2009 as compared
to the same period in 2008.
Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes was $681,000 and $1.5 million for the three and six-month periods
ending June 30, 2009, as compared to $367,000 and $1.6 million for the same periods in 2008. The
effective tax rates for the three-month periods ending June 30, 2009 and 2008 were 26% and 19%,
respectively. The increase in the tax rate for this period was primarily due to an increase in
income before tax, relative to the level of tax credits. The effective tax rates for the six-month
periods ending June 30, 2009 and 2008 were 27% and 30%, respectively. The decrease in the tax rate
for this period is primarily due to increased tax credits relative to the level of taxable income.

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 $5.5
million, or 1%, to $698.2 million in the second quarter of 2009 as compared to $703.8 million in
the same period of 2008. Loans comprised 81% of total average earning assets for the quarter
ending June 30, 2009, compared to 79% of total average earning assets for the quarter ending June
30, 2008. The yield on loans averaged 7.13% for the quarter ending June 30, 2009, compared to
7.59% during the same period in 2008.
The loan portfolio decreased by $25.2 million, or 4%, from $710.1 million at June 30, 2008 to
$684.9 million at June 30, 2009. Loans decreased by $26.4 million, or 4%, from $711.3 million at
December 31, 2008, to $684.9 million at June 30, 2009. Commercial loans decreased $29.3 million,
or 10%, construction loans decreased $36.2 million, or 31%, home equity lines and other consumer
loans decreased $4.7 million, or 9%, and commercial real estate loans increased $45.1 million, or
18% from June 30, 2008 to June 30, 2009. In addition, commercial loans decreased $26.9 million, or
9%, construction loans decreased $21 million, or 21%, home equity lines and other consumer loans
decreased $4.1 million, or 8%, and commercial real estate loans increased $25.4 million, or 9%,
from December 31, 2008 to June 30, 2009. The decline in the loan portfolio resulted from a
combination of transfers to OREO of $2.8 million and $2.9 million in the three and six-month
periods ending June 30, 2009, refinance and loan payoff activity, and a decrease in construction
loan originations. We expect the loan portfolio to increase slightly in the future with moderate
growth in commercial real estate and commercial loans. We expect decreases in construction loans,
due to lower residential construction activity, and also in home equity lines and other consumer
loans as more of these types of loans are paid off due to the increase in mortgage refinance
activity that has resulted from the declines in long term mortgage rates that began late in the
fourth quarter of 2008. Residential construction activity in Anchorage, the Companys largest
market, is expected to continue to decline through 2009 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 sales activity levels in 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.
In addition, management intends to continue to aggressively reduce its loans measured for
impairment and OREO, much of which is secured by residential construction and land development
loans, which should lead to further decreases in construction loan balances.
Loan Portfolio Composition: Loans decreased to $688.3 million at June 30, 2009, from $710.1 million
at June 30, 2008 and $711.3 million at December 31, 2008. At June 30, 2009, 37% of the portfolio
was scheduled to mature over the next 12 months, and 27% was scheduled to mature between July 1,
2010, and June 30, 2014. 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 37% 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 valuation is a critical accounting policy of the Company. The carrying value of OREO property
is adjusted to the fair value, less cost to sell, of the real estate by an adjustment to the
allowance for loan loss prior to foreclosure. The amount by which the fair value less cost to sell
is greater than the carrying amount of the loan is recognized in earnings up to the original cost
of the asset. Any subsequent reduction in the carrying value at acquisition is charged against
earnings. Reductions in the carrying value of other real estate owned subsequent to acquisition are
determined based on managements estimate of the fair value of individual properties.
OREO decreased by $1 million to $11.6 million
at June 30, 2009 from $12.6 million at December 31,
2008. This decrease was primarily the result of the sale of ten condominiums, seven residential
lots, and six single family residences in the six month period ended June 30, 2009. Proceeds on
these sales totaled $4.8 million and resulted in $223,000 in gains. Additionally, the
Company recorded impairment charges on OREO of $495,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2009. The
decreases in OREO due to
sales and impairment charges were partially offset by the transfer of twenty six residential lots
in three different developments, three condominiums, one single family residence and two commercial
properties to OREO in the six months ended June 30, 2009. Additionally, the Company expended $1.2
million in capital costs for OREO projects in the six months ended June 30, 2009.
OREO increased by $1.5 million from June 30, 2008 to December 31, 2008. This increase was
primarily the net result of the addition of two single family residences, one residential lot, one
condominium, two multi-family residences, one commercial property. Additionally, the Company
expended $2.1 million in capital costs for OREO projects in the six months ended December 31, 2008.
These increases were
- 33 -
Table of Contents
partially offset by impairment charges of $981,000 and the sale of six single
family residences, two condominiums, and one residential lot for proceeds of $2.3 million in the
six-month period ending December 31, 2008. The Company recognized net gains on the sales of these
properties of $63,000 in the six months ended December 31, 2008.
At June 30, 2009, the OREO portfolio consists of a $2.7 million, 3-story 19-unit condominium
project, a $1.6 million lot development project adjacent to a $3.1 million, 21-unit townhome-style
condominium project that has experienced sales of 5 units in the six months ended June 30, 3009, a
$1.2 million single-family housing development project, one condominium unit valued at $812,000,
twenty five residential lots in four different sites totaling $447,000, one commercial building
totaling $498,000, one leasehold estate totaling $125,000, and five other small residential
construction projects totaling approximately $1.1 million.
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.
The Company had restructured loans of $1.2 million at March 31, 2009. As of June 30, 2009, these
loans are classified as nonaccrual loans.
Total nonperforming loans at June 30, 2009, were $20 million, or 2.92%, of total loans, a decrease
of $6 million from $26.0 million at December 31, 2008, and an increase of $1.9 million from $18.1
million at June 30, 2008. The decrease in the nonperforming loans at June 30, 2009 from the end of
2008 was primarily due to the decrease in accruing loans 90 days or more past due that resulted
primarily from the payoff of one residential land development loan. 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 nonperforming status, which is accounted for in the
Companys analysis of impaired loans and its Allowance.
The increase in nonperforming loans between
June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2009 in general was 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. 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, 2009, December 31, 2008, and June 30, 2008, the Company had impaired loans of $67.1
million, $79.7 million, and $84.9 million, respectively. A specific allowance of $3.3 million, $3.2
million, and $3.7 million, respectively, was established for these loans for the periods noted. The
decrease in impaired loans at June 30, 2009, as compared to December 31, 2008, resulted mainly from
payoffs, pay-downs, or charge-offs of five commercial real estate properties two land development
projects, three commercial loans, and one residential construction project, and the transfer of
twenty five residential lots in two different developments and three condominiums to OREO in the
six months ended June 30, 2009.
- 34 -
Table of Contents
These decreases were partially offset by the addition of two land
development projects, one commercial real estate property, two commercial properties, and one
residential construction project. The decrease in impaired loans at December 31, 2008, as compared
to June 30, 2008, resulted from the payoffs, pay-downs, or charge-offs of three land development
projects, two residential construction projects, one commercial loan, two commercial real estate
loans, and the transfer of one condominium to OREO in the six months ended December 31, 2008.
These decreases were partially offset by the addition of three residential construction projects,
three land development projects, three commercial loans, and two commercial real estate loans that
were not included in impaired loans at June 30, 2008.
Management is aggressively attempting to reduce the outstanding loans measured for impairment and
OREO. Although we cannot guarantee that we will be successful, by December 31, 2009, the Company
intends to reduce its loans measured for impairment and OREO by 10% from June 30, 2009 levels.
Potential Problem Loans: 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. At June 30, 2009 the Company had $16.2 million in
potential problem loans, as compared to $19.3 million at June 30, 2008. This decrease is mainly
the result of the reclassification of one commercial real estate loan to nonperforming status and
the payoff of one land development loan. Additionally, one land development loan that was
classified as a potential problem loan at June 30, 2008 is not classified as a potential problem
loan at June 30, 2009 because it has paid down significantly. These decreases in potential problem
loans were partially offset by the addition of one land development loan and one commercial loan
relationship at June 30, 2009 that were not classified as potential problem loans at June 30, 2008.
At December 31, 2008, the Company had potential problem loans of $21.6 million. The decrease from
December 31, 2008 to June 30, 2009 is primarily the result of the reclassification of one
commercial real estate loan to nonperforming status, the payoff of one land development loan and
the reclassification of three condominiums to other real estate owned. Two of these condominiums
were sold in the second quarter of 2009. These decreases were partially offset by the addition of
one commercial loan relationship at June 30, 2009 that was not classified as potential problem
loans at December 31, 2008.
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
a critical accounting policy and is maintained at a level determined by management to be adequate
to provide for probable 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 increased by 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. Since 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.
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. With regard to our appraisal
process, the Company obtains appraisals on real and personal property that secure its loans during
the loan origination process in accordance with regulatory guidance and its loan policy. The
Company obtains updated appraisals on loans secured by real or personal property based upon its
assessment of changes in the current market or particular projects or properties, information from
other current appraisals, and other sources of information. The Company uses the information
provided in these updated appraisals along with its evaluation of all other information available
on a particular property as it assesses the collateral coverage on its performing and nonperforming
loans and the impact that may have on the adequacy of its Allowance.
- 35 -
Table of Contents
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.
Our banking regulators, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the
Companys Allowance. Our 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.
We recognize the determination of the Allowance 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 that adverse changes in risk ratings may have on our
Allowance. 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 due to the numerous quantitative and qualitative factors considered in determining
our Allowance. At June 30, 2009, in the event that one percent of our loans were downgraded from the
pass category to the special mention category within our current allowance methodology, the
Allowance would have increased by approximately $327,000.
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.
The Allowance was $13.2 million, or 1.93%, of total loans outstanding, at June 30, 2009, compared
to $13.5 million, or 1.90%, of total loans at June 30, 2008 and $12.9 million, or 1.81% of loans,
at December 31, 2008. The Company slightly increased its Allowance as a percentage of its total
loans outstanding between June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2009 to cover losses inherent but not yet
identified in the loan portfolio due to current economic conditions and other qualitative factors.
The Allowance represented 66% of nonperforming loans at June 30, 2009, as compared to 75% of
nonperforming loans at June 30, 2008 and 50% of nonperforming loans at December 31, 2008.
The Company recorded a provision for loan losses in the amount of $2.1 million for the three-month
period ending June 30, 2009 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 Company
anticipates that there may be further increases in nonperforming loans that will require additional
provision for loan losses in the future and decrease the Companys future liquidity and cash flow.

The provision for loan losses for the three and six-month periods ending June 30, 2009 was
$2.1 million and $3.5 million as compared to a provision for loan losses of $2 million and $3.7
million for the three and six-month periods ending June 30, 2008. During the three-month period
ending June 30, 2009, there were $2.3 million in net loan charge-offs as compared to $1.1 million
of net loan charge-offs for the same period in 2008. During the six-month period ending June 30,
2009, there were $3.2 million in net loan charge-offs as compared to $1.9 million of net loan
charge-offs for the same period in 2008. Loan charge-offs increased during the three and six-month
periods ending June 30, 2009 at $2.4 million and $3.4 million, respectively, as compared to $1.3
million and $2.3 million in the same periods in 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, 2009 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 $136.7 million
at June 30, 2009, a decrease of $15.7 million, or 10%, from $152.4 million at December 31, 2008,
and an increase of $6.3 million, or 5%, from $130.4 million at June 30, 2008. The decrease in
investments from December 31, 2008 to June 30, 2009 was the result of calls of several agency
securities where the funds were placed in short term investments. The increase in investments from
June 30, 2008 to June 30, 2009 was primarily due to the reinvestment of the proceeds from loan
payoffs into security investments.
Investment securities designated as available-for-sale comprised 91% of the investment portfolio at
June 30, 2009, 92% at December 31, 2008, and 89% at June 30, 2008, 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, 2009, $51.3 million in securities, or 49%, of the
investment portfolio was pledged, as compared to $67.4 million, or 44%, at December 31, 2008, and
$47.8 million, or 37%, at June 30, 2008. The changes in pledged securities are due to the fact that
as of June 30, 2009, December 31, 2008 and June 30, 2008, the Company had pledged $36.7 million,
$47.0 million and $25.7 million, respectively, to collateralize Alaska Permanent Fund certificates
of deposit.

The Company has never had any investment in the common or preferred stock of the Federal National
Mortgage Association or the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, which are commonly known as
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, respectively.
Goodwill
Goodwill valuation is a critical accounting policy of the Company. Net assets of entities acquired
in purchase transactions are recorded at fair value at the date of acquisition. Identified
intangibles are amortized over the period benefited either on a straight-line basis or on an
accelerated basis depending on the nature of the intangible. Goodwill is not amortized, although
it is reviewed for impairment on an annual basis or if events or circumstances indicate a potential
impairment.
As noted in Note 3 of this Form 10-Q, the Company has recorded $6.9 million and $2.1 million of
goodwill related to the acquisition of branches from Bank of America in 1999 and the acquisition of
Alaska Trust in 2007, respectively. The Company reviews goodwill for impairment in accordance with
SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets at least annually or if an event occurs or
circumstances change that reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying value.
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, 2008. We concluded that there was no indication of impairment in the first step of
the impairment test at June 30, 2009, and accordingly, the Company did not perform the second step.
The Company continues to monitor the Companys goodwill for potential impairment on an ongoing
basis. No assurance can be given that we will not charge earnings during 2009 for goodwill
impairment, if, for example, our stock price declines further and continues to trade at a
significant discount to its book value, although there are many factors that we analyze in
determining the impairment of goodwill.
LIABILITIES
Deposits
General: Deposits are the Companys primary source of funds. Total deposits decreased $24.1
million to $819.1 million at June 30, 2009, from $843.3 million at December 31, 2008, and decreased
$82.9 million from $902 million at June 30, 2008. The Companys deposits generally are expected to
fluctuate according to the level of the Companys market share, economic conditions, and normal
seasonal trends. The decrease in deposits from June 30, 2008 to June 30, 2009 was largely due to
the decrease in the
deposits of one customer that was offset in part by an increase in public deposits that the Company
holds in certificates of deposit for the Alaska Permanent Fund Corporation. As mentioned earlier,
as the Bank continues to market its HPC products, the Company expects increases in the number of
deposit accounts and the balances associated with them. There were no depositors with deposits
representing 10% or more of total deposits at June 30, 2009, December 31, 2008 or June 30, 2008.
Certificates of Deposit: The only deposit category with stated maturity dates is certificates of
deposit. At June 30, 2009, the Company had $167.5 million in certificates of deposit as compared
to certificates of deposit of $173.4 million and $136.8 million, for the periods ending December
31, 2008 and June 30, 2008, respectively. At June 30, 2009, $136.3 million, or 81%, of the
Companys certificates of deposits are scheduled to mature over the next 12 months as compared to
$144.7 million, or 83%, of total certificates of deposit, at December 31, 2008, and $107.6
million, or 79%, of total certificates of deposit at June 30, 2008.
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, 2009, was $104.9 million, a decrease of $3.2 million as compared to the balance of
$108.1 million at December 31, 2008 and a decrease of $32.6 million from a balance of $137.5
million at June 30, 2008.
- 38 -
Table of Contents
The Company expects the total balance of the Alaska CD in 2009 to
continue to be at lower levels as compared to 2008 as customers move into higher yielding accounts
such as term certificates of deposit.
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, 2009, the Company held $35.2 million in
certificates of deposit for the Alaska Permanent Fund. In contrast, at December 31, 2008 and June
30, 2008, the Company held $45 million and $25 million, respectively, in certificates of deposit
for the Alaska Permanent Fund.
Borrowings
A portion of the Companys borrowings were from the FHLB. At June 30,
2009, the Companys maximum borrowing line from the FHLB was $102 million, approximately 10% of the
Companys assets. At June 30, 2009, December 31, 2008 and June 30, 2008 there were outstanding
balances on the borrowing line of $10.3 million, $11.0 million and $1.6 million, respectively, and
there were no additional monies committed to secure public deposits. The increase in the
outstanding balance of the line at June 30, 2009 as compared to
June 30, 2008 was the result of an
additional draw on the line to fund the Companys acquisition of its main office facility on July
1, 2008. 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.
The Company purchased its main office facility for $12.9 million on July 1, 2008. In this
transaction, the Company, through NBL, assumed an existing loan secured by the building in an
amount of $5.1 million. At June 30, 2009, the outstanding balance on this loan was $5.0 million.
This is an amortizing loan and has a maturity date of April 1, 2014 and an interest rate of 5.95%
as of June 30, 2009.
In addition to the borrowings from the FHLB, the Company had $5.6 million in other borrowings
outstanding at June 30, 2009, as compared to $14.1 million and $8.7 million, respectively, in other
borrowings outstanding at December 31, 2008 and June 30, 2008. Other borrowings at June 30, 2009
and 2008 consist of security repurchase arrangements and short-term borrowings from the Federal
Reserve Bank for payroll tax deposits. Other borrowings as of December 31, 2008 consisted of
security repurchase arrangements, short-term borrowings from the Federal Reserve Bank for payroll
tax deposits, and overnight borrowings from correspondent banks.
Other Short-term Borrowings: At June 30, 2009, 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, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Companys commitments to extend credit and to provide
letters of credit amounted to $192.3 million and $147.2 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
The Company manages its liquidity through its Asset and Liability Committee. In addition to the
$45.4 million of cash and cash equivalents and $85.4 million in unpledged available-for-sale
securities held at June 30, 2009, the Company has additional
funding sources which include fed fund borrowing lines
- 39 -

and
advances available at the Federal Home Loan Bank of Seattle and the
Federal Reserve Bank of
approximately $184 million as of June 30, 2009.
Shareholders Equity
Shareholders equity was $108 million at June 30, 2009, compared to $104.7 million at December 31,
2008 and $101.9 million at June 30, 2008. The Company earned net income of $1.9 million during the
three-month period ending June 30, 2009, issued 6,766 shares through the vesting of restricted
stock and exercise to stock options, and did not repurchase any shares of its common stock under
the Companys publicly announced repurchase program. At June 30, 2009, the Company had
approximately 6.3 million shares of its common stock outstanding.
Capital Requirements and Ratios
The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the
federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum regulatory capital requirements can result in
certain mandatory, and possibly additional discretionary, actions by regulators that, if
undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Companys financial statements. Under
capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company
and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of assets,
liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting
practices. The capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by
regulators about the components of regulatory capital, risk weightings, and other factors. The
regulatory agencies may establish higher minimum requirements if, for example, a bank or bank
holding company has previously received special attention or has a high susceptibility to interest
rate risk.
The requirements address both risk-based capital and leverage capital. At June 30, 2009, the
Company and the Bank met all applicable regulatory capital adequacy requirements.
The FDIC has in place qualifications for banks to be classified as well-capitalized. As of June
15, 2009, the most recent notification from the FDIC categorized the Bank as well-capitalized.
There have been no conditions or events known to us since the FDIC notification that have changed
the Banks classification.
The following table illustrates the actual capital ratios for the Company and the Bank as
calculated under regulatory guidelines, compared to the regulatory minimum capital ratios and the
regulatory minimum capital ratios needed to qualify as a well-capitalized institution as of June
30, 2009.
Adequately- | Well- | Actual Ratio | Actual Ratio | |||||||||||||
Capitalized | Capitalized | BHC | Bank | |||||||||||||
Tier 1 risk-based capital |
4.00 | % | 6.00 | % | 13.50 | % | 12.63 | % | ||||||||
Total risk-based capital |

Leverage ratio |
4.00 | % | 5.00 | % | 12.21 | % | 11.45 | % |
Based on recent turmoil in the financial markets and the current regulatory environment a prudent
course of action is to maintain a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio at the Bank level in excess of
10%. Given this turmoil in the financial markets, the current regulatory environment and the
increase in the Companys loans measured
- 40 -
Table of Contents
for impairment and OREO, management intends to maintain a
Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio for the Bank in excess of 10% throughout 2009, exceeding the FDICs
well-capitalized minimum regulatory capital requirements.
The regulatory 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 shares. The Company did not
repurchase any of its shares in the three or six-month periods ending June 30, 2009, 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, 2009.
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 4.06% at June 30, 2009. The interest cost
to the Company on these debentures was $85,000 in the quarter ending June 30, 2009 and $121,000
in the same period in 2008. 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
- 41 -
Table of Contents
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 2.00% at June 30, 2009. The
interest cost to the Company on these debentures was $65,000 for the quarter ending June 30, 2009
and $105,000 in the same period in 2008. 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
At June 30, 2009, the Company held $11.6 million as OREO as compared to $12.6 million at December
31, 2008 and $11.1 million a year ago. The Company expects to expend approximately $370,000 in
2009 to complete construction of these projects with an estimated completion date of September 30,
2009.
ITEM 3: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Interest rate and credit 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 normally asset sensitive, meaning that interest-earning assets mature or reprice
more quickly than interest-bearing liabilities in a given period. Therefore, an 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
- 42 -
Table of Contents
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, 2009, indicate that, if interest rates immediately
increased by 100 basis points, the Company would experience an increase in net interest income of
approximately $846,000 over the next 12 months. Similarly, the simulation model indicates that, if
interest rates immediately decreased by 100 basis points, the Company would also experience an
increase in net interest income of approximately $1.4 million over the next 12 months. The similar
results between the 100 basis point increase and decrease are due to current loan pricing with
floors on interest rates that limit the negative effect of a decrease in interest rates.

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, 2009 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to
materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
