ITEM 1. Business

Pacific Financial Corporation (the Company or Pacific) is a bank holding company headquartered in Aberdeen, Washington. The Company owns one bank, Bank of the Pacific (sometimes referred to as the Bank), which is also located in Washington. The Company was incorporated in Washington on February 12, 1997, pursuant to a holding company reorganization of the Bank.

The Company conducts its banking business through 18 branches located in communities throughout Grays Harbor, Pacific, and Wahkiakum Counties in Southwest Washington, and Whatcom and Skagit Counties in Northwest Washington. The Company also operates a branch in Gearhart, Oregon. Two branches were opened during 2006 and our loan production office in Gearhart was converted to a full-service branch following completion of our deposit transfer and assumption transaction with an Oregon-based bank in June 2006. In connection with completion of that transaction, the Oregon Department of Consumer and Business Services issued a certificate of authority to the Bank authorizing it to conduct a banking business in the state of Oregon. Five locations in Whatcom County were acquired as part of Pacific’s acquisition of BNW Bancorp, Inc. (BNW) completed on February 27, 2004.

Pacific Financial Corporation is a reporting company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and the Company’s common stock is listed on the OTC Bulletin Board™ under the symbol “PFLC.OB”. At December 31, 2006, the Company had total consolidated assets of $562.4 million, total loans, including loans held for sale of $18.4 million, of $439.2 million, total deposits of $466.8 million, and total shareholders’ equity of $49.0 million.

Pacific’s filings with the SEC, including its annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, periodic current reports on Form 8-K and amendments to these reports, are available free of charge through links from our website at http://www.thebankofpacific.com to the SEC’s site at http://www.sec.gov, as soon as reasonably practicable after filing with the SEC. You may also access our filings with the SEC directly from the Edgar database found on the SEC’s website. By making reference to our website above and elsewhere in this report, we do not intend to incorporate any information from our site into this report.

The Bank

Bank of the Pacific was organized in 1978 and opened for business in 1979 to meet the need for a regional community bank with local interests to serve the small to medium-sized businesses and professionals in the coastal region of Western Washington. Services offered by the Bank include commercial loans, agriculture loans, installment loans, real estate loans, residential mortgage loans and personal and business deposit products and services.

The Bank originates loans primarily in its local markets. Its underwriting policies focus on assessment of each borrower’s ability to service and repay the debt, and the availability of collateral that can be used to secure the loan. Depending on the nature of the borrower and the purpose and amount of the loan, the Bank’s loans may be secured by a variety of collateral, including business assets, real estate, and personal assets.

The Bank’s commercial and agricultural loans consist primarily of secured revolving operating lines of credit and business term loans, some of which may be partially guaranteed by the Small Business Administration or the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Consumer installment loans and other loans represent a small percentage of total outstanding loans and include home equity loans, auto loans, boat loans, and personal lines of credit.


- 5 -



The Bank’s primary sources of deposits are from individuals and businesses in its local markets. A concerted effort has been made to attract deposits in the local market areas through competitive pricing and delivery of quality products. These products include demand accounts, negotiable order of withdrawal accounts, money market investment accounts, savings accounts and time deposits. The Bank may also utilize brokered deposits from time to time.

The Bank provides 24 hour online banking to its customers with access to account balances and transaction histories, plus an electronic check register to make account management and reconciliation simple. The online banking system is compatible with budgeting software like Intuit’s Quicken® or Microsoft’s Money®. In addition, the online banking system includes the ability to transfer funds, make loan payments, reorder checks, and request statement reprints, provides loan calculators and allows for e-mail exchanges with representatives of the Bank. Also, for a nominal fee customers can request stop payments and pay an unlimited number of bills online. These services along with rate information and other information can be accessed through the Bank’s website at http://www.thebankofpacific.com.

The Bank’s deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to applicable legal limits under the Bank Insurance Fund. The Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) and is regulated by the Washington Department of Financial Institutions, Division of Banks (Division), and the FDIC.

PFC Statutory Trusts I and II

PFC Statutory Trust I and II are wholly-owned subsidiary trusts of the Company formed to facilitate the issuance of pooled trust preferred securities (“trust preferred securities”). The trusts were organized in December 2005 and June 2006, respectively, in connection with two offerings of trust preferred securities. For more information regarding the Company’s issuance of trust preferred securities, see note 8 “Junior Subordinated Debentures” to Pacific’s audited consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of this report.

Competition

Competition in the banking industry is significant and has intensified as the regulatory environment has grown more permissive. Banks face a growing number of competitors and greater degree of competition with respect to the provision of banking services and the attracting of deposits. Non-bank and non-depository institutions can be expected to increase competition further as they offer bank-type products in the more permissive regulatory climate of today.

The Bank competes in Grays Harbor County with well-established thrifts which are headquartered in the area along with branches of large banks with headquarters outside the area. The Bank also competes with well-established small community banks, branches of large banks, thrifts and credit unions in Pacific and Wahkiakum Counties in the state of Washington and Clatsop County in the state of Oregon. In the Bank’s newest market, Whatcom County and Skagit County, Washington, the Bank competes with large regional and super-regional financial institutions that do not have a significant presence in the Company’s historical market areas. The Company believes Whatcom County provides opportunities for expansion, but in pursuing that expansion it faces greater competitive challenges than it faces in its historical market areas.

The adoption of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 (the Financial Services Modernization Act) eliminated many of the barriers to affiliation among providers of financial services and further opened the door to business combinations involving banks, insurance companies, securities or brokerage firms, and others. This regulatory change has led to further consolidation in the financial services industry and the


- 6 -



creation of financial conglomerates which frequently offer multiple financial services, including deposit services, brokerage and others. When combined with technological developments such as the Internet that have reduced barriers to entry faced by companies physically located outside the Company’s market area, changes in the market have resulted in increased competition and can be expected to result in further increases in competition in the future.

Although it cannot guarantee that it will continue to do so, the Company has been able to maintain a competitive advantage in its historical markets as a result of its status as a local institution, offering products and services tailored to the needs of the community. Further, because of the extensive experience of management in its market area and the business contacts of management and the Company’s directors, management believes the Company can continue to compete effectively.

According to the Market Share Report compiled by the FDIC, as of June 30, 2006, the Company held a deposit market share of 30.7% in Pacific County, 54.4% in Wahkiakum County, 19.9% in Grays Harbor County, and 3.7% in Whatcom County.

Employees

As of December 31, 2006, the Bank employed 203 full time equivalent employees. Management believes relations with its employees are good.

Supervision and Regulation

The following is a general description of certain significant statutes and regulations affecting the banking industry. The following discussion is intended to provide a brief summary and, therefore, is not complete and is qualified by the statutes and regulations referenced.

The laws and regulations applicable to the Company and its subsidiary are primarily intended to protect depositors of the Bank and not stockholders of the Company. Proposals to change the laws and regulations governing the banking industry are frequently introduced in Congress, in state legislatures and before the various bank regulatory agencies. The likelihood and timing of any such proposals or legislation and the impact they might have on the Company cannot be determined. Changes in applicable laws or regulations or in the policies of banking and other government regulators may have a material effect on our business and prospects. Violation of the laws and regulations applicable to the Company may result in assessment of substantial civil monetary penalties, the imposition of a cease and desist order, and other regulatory sanctions.

General

As a bank holding company, the Company is subject to the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (BHCA), which places the Company under the supervision of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the Federal Reserve). The Company must file annual reports with the Federal Reserve and must provide it with such additional information as it may require. In addition, the Federal Reserve periodically examines the Company and the Bank.

Bank Holding Company Regulation

In general, the BHCA limits a bank holding company to owning or controlling banks and engaging in other banking-related activities. Bank holding companies must obtain approval of the Federal Reserve before they: (1) acquire direct or indirect ownership or control of any voting shares of any bank that results in total ownership or control, directly or indirectly, of more than 5% of the voting shares of such bank; (2) merge or


- 7 -



consolidate with another bank holding company; or (3) acquire substantially all of the assets of another bank or bank holding company. In acting on applications for such prior approval, the Federal Reserve considers various factors, including, without limitation, the effect of the proposed transaction on competition in relevant geographic and product markets, and each transaction party’s financial condition, managerial resources and performance record under the Community Reinvestment Act.

Control of Nonbanks. With certain exceptions, the BHCA prohibits bank holding companies from acquiring direct or indirect ownership or control of more than 5% of the voting shares in any company that is not a bank or a bank holding company unless the Federal Reserve determines that the activities of such company are incidental or closely related to the business of banking. If a bank holding company is well-capitalized and meets certain criteria specified by the Federal Reserve, it may engage de novo in certain permissible nonbanking activities without prior Federal Reserve approval.

Control Transactions. The Change in Bank Control Act of 1978, as amended, requires a person (or group of persons acting in concert) acquiring control of a bank holding company to provide the Federal Reserve with 60 days’ prior written notice of the proposed acquisition. Following receipt of this notice, the Federal Reserve has 60 days within which to issue a notice disapproving the proposed acquisition, but the Federal Reserve may extend this time period for up to another 30 days. An acquisition may be completed before expiration of the disapproval period if the Federal Reserve issues written notice of its intent not to disapprove the transaction. In addition, any company must obtain approval of the Federal Reserve before acquiring 25% (5% if the company is a bank holding company) or more of the outstanding shares or otherwise obtaining control over the Company.

Source of Strength Requirements. Under Federal Reserve policy, the Company is expected to act as a source of financial and managerial strength to the Bank. This means that the Company is required to commit, as necessary, resources to support the Bank. Any capital loans made by the Company to the Bank would be subordinate in priority to deposits and to certain other indebtedness of the Bank.

Financial Services Modernization Act

On November 12, 1999, the Financial Services Modernization Act (the “FSMA”) was signed into law. The FSMA repeals the two affiliation provisions of the Glass-Steagall Act: Section 20, which restricted the affiliation of Federal Reserve member banks with firms “engaged principally” in specified securities activities; and Section 32, which restricts officer, director, or employee interlocks between a member bank and any company or person “primarily engaged” in specified securities activities. In addition, the FSMA contains provisions that expressly preempt any state law restricting the establishment of financial affiliations, primarily related to insurance. The general effect of the law is to establish a comprehensive framework to permit affiliations among commercial banks, insurance companies, securities firms, and other financial service providers by revising and expanding the bank holding company fram ework to permit a holding company system to engage in a full range of financial activities through a new entity known as a financial holding company.

Financial holding companies may affiliate with securities firms and insurance companies and engage in other activities that are financial in nature or are incidental or complementary to activities that are financial in nature. “Financial in nature” activities include securities underwriting, dealing, and market making, sponsoring mutual funds and investment companies, insurance underwriting and agency, merchant banking, and other activities approved by the Federal Reserve. Pacific is not currently a financial holding company.

Tie-In Arrangements

The Company and the Bank cannot engage in certain tie-in arrangements in connection with any extension of credit, sale or lease of property or furnishing of services. For example, with certain exceptions, neither the Company nor the Bank may condition an extension of credit to a customer on either (1) a requirement that the customer obtain additional services provided by it or (2) an agreement by the customer to refrain from obtaining other services from a competitor.

USA Patriot Act of 2001

On October 26, 2001, President Bush signed the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism (USA Patriot Act) of 2001. Among other things, the USA Patriot Act (1) prohibits banks from providing correspondent accounts directly to foreign shell banks; (2) imposes due diligence requirements on banks opening or holding accounts for foreign financial institutions or wealthy foreign individuals; (3) requires financial institutions to establish an anti-money-laundering compliance program, and (4) eliminates civil liability for persons who file suspicious activity reports. The USA Patriot Act also increases governmental powers to investigate terrorism, including expanded government access to account records. The Department of the Treasury is empowered to administer and make rules to implement the act. We do not believe that compliance with the USA Patriot Act has had a material effect on our business and operations.

The Bank

General

The Bank, as an FDIC insured state-chartered bank, is subject to regulation and examination by the FDIC and the Department of Financial Institutions of the State of Washington. The federal laws that apply to the Bank regulate, among other things, the scope of its business, its investments, its reserves against deposits, the timing of the availability of deposited funds and the nature and amount of and collateral for loans.

CRA . The Community Reinvestment Act (the CRA) requires that, in connection with examinations of financial institutions within their jurisdiction, the FDIC evaluate the record of the financial institutions in meeting the credit needs of their local communities, including low and moderate income neighborhoods, consistent with the safe and sound operation of those banks. These factors are also considered in evaluating mergers, acquisitions, and applications to open a branch or facility. In connection with the FDIC’s assessment of the record of financial institutions under the CRA, it assigns a rating of either, “outstanding,” “satisfactory,” “needs to improve,” or “substantial noncompliance” following an examination. The Bank received a CRA rating of “satisfactory” during its most recent examination.

Insider Credit Transactions . Banks are also subject to certain restrictions imposed by the Federal Reserve Act on extensions of credit to executive officers, directors, principal shareholders, or any related interests of such persons. Extensions of credit (i) must be made on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, and follow credit underwriting procedures that are not less stringent than those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with persons not covered above and who are not employees and (ii) must not involve more than the normal risk of repayment or present other unfavorable features. Banks are also subject to certain lending limits and restrictions on overdrafts to such persons. A violation of these restrictions may result in the assessment of substantial civil monetary penalties on the affected bank or any officer, director, employee, agent, or other person participating in the conduct of the affairs of that bank, the imposition of a cease and desist order, and other regulatory sanctions.

FDICIA . Under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 (FDICIA), each federal banking agency has prescribed, by regulation, noncapital safety and soundness standards for


- 9 -



institutions under its authority. These standards cover internal controls, information systems, and internal audit systems, loan documentation, credit underwriting, interest rate exposure, asset growth, compensation, fees and benefits, such other operational and managerial standards as the agency determines to be appropriate, and standards for asset quality, earnings and stock valuation. An institution which fails to meet these standards must develop a plan acceptable to the agency, specifying the steps that the institution will take to meet the standards. Failure to submit or implement such a plan may subject the institution to regulatory sanctions. Management believes that the Bank meets all such standards and, therefore, does not believe that these regulatory standards will materially affect the Company’s business or operations.

Interstate Banking and Branching

The Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994 (the Interstate Act) permits nationwide interstate banking and branching under certain circumstances. This legislation generally authorizes interstate branching and relaxes federal law restrictions on interstate banking. Currently, bank holding companies may purchase banks in any state, and states may not prohibit such purchases. Additionally, banks are permitted to merge with banks in other states as long as the home state of neither merging bank has opted out. The Interstate Act requires regulators to consult with community organizations before permitting an interstate institution to close a branch in a low-income area.

With regard to interstate bank mergers, Washington has opted in to the Interstate Act and allows in-state banks to merge with out-of-state banks subject to certain aging requirements. Washington law generally authorizes the acquisition of an in-state bank by an out-of-state bank through merger with a Washington financial institution that has been in existence for at least 5 years prior to the acquisition. With regard to interstate bank branching, out-of-state banks that do not already operate a branch in Washington may not establish de novo branches in Washington or establish and operate a branch by acquiring a branch in Washington. Under FDIC regulations, banks are prohibited from using their interstate branches primarily for deposit production. The FDIC has accordingly implemented a loan-to-deposit ratio screen to ensure compliance with this prohibition.

Deposit Insurance

The deposits of the Bank are currently insured to a maximum of $100,000 per depositor, and certain self-directed retirement accounts up to $250,000 per depositor, through the Bank Insurance Fund administered by the FDIC. All insured banks are required to pay semi-annual deposit insurance premium assessments to the FDIC.

FDICIA included provisions to reform the federal deposit insurance system, including the implementation of risk-based deposit insurance premiums. FDICIA also permits the FDIC to make special assessments on insured depository institutions in amounts determined by the FDIC to be necessary to give it adequate assessment income to repay amounts borrowed from the U.S. Treasury and other sources, or for any other purpose the FDIC deems necessary. The FDIC has implemented a risk-based insurance premium system under which banks are assessed insurance premiums based on how much risk they present to the insurance fund. Banks with higher levels of capital and a low degree of supervisory concern are assessed lower premiums than banks with lower levels of capital or a higher degree of supervisory concern. The Bank presently qualifies for the lowest premium level.

Dividends

The principal source of the Company’s cash revenues is dividends received from the Bank. The payment of dividends is subject to government regulation, in that regulatory authorities may prohibit banks and


- 10 -



bank holding companies from paying dividends in a manner that would constitute an unsafe or unsound banking practice. In addition, a bank may not pay cash dividends if that payment could reduce the amount of its capital below that necessary to meet minimum applicable regulatory capital requirements. Other than the laws and regulations noted above, which apply to all banks and bank holding companies, neither the Company nor the Bank are currently subject to any regulatory restrictions on their dividends. Under applicable restrictions, as of December 31, 2006, the Bank could declare dividends totaling $6,551,000 without obtaining prior regulatory approval.

Capital Adequacy

Federal bank regulatory agencies use capital adequacy guidelines in the examination and regulation of bank holding companies and banks. If capital falls below minimum guideline levels, the holding company or bank may be denied approval to acquire or establish additional banks or non-bank businesses or to open new facilities.

The FDIC and Federal Reserve use risk-based capital guidelines for banks and bank holding companies. These are designed to make such capital requirements more sensitive to differences in risk profiles among banks and bank holding companies, to account for off-balance sheet exposure and to minimize disincentives for holding liquid assets. Assets and off-balance sheet items are assigned to broad risk categories, each with appropriate weights. The resulting capital ratios represent capital as a percentage of total risk-weighted assets and off-balance sheet items. The guidelines are minimums, and the Federal Reserve has noted that bank holding companies contemplating significant expansion programs should not allow expansion to diminish their capital ratios and should maintain ratios well in excess of the minimum. The current guidelines require all bank holding companies and federally-regulated banks to maintain a minimum risk-based total capital ratio equal to 8%, of which at least 4% must be Tier I capital. Tier I capital for bank holding companies includes common shareholders’ equity, certain qualifying perpetual preferred stock and minority interests in equity accounts of consolidated subsidiaries, less intangibles except as described above and accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

The Federal Reserve also employs a leverage ratio, which is Tier I capital as a percentage of total assets less intangibles, to be used as a supplement to risk-based guidelines. The principal objective of the leverage ratio is to constrain the maximum degree to which a bank holding company may leverage its equity capital base. The Federal Reserve requires a minimum leverage ratio of 3%. However, for all but the most highly rated bank holding companies and for bank holding companies seeking to expand, the Federal Reserve expects an additional cushion of at least 1% to 2%.

FDICIA created a statutory framework of supervisory actions indexed to the capital level of the individual institution. Under regulations adopted by the FDIC, an institution is assigned to one of five capital categories depending on its total risk-based capital ratio, Tier I risk-based capital ratio, and leverage ratio, together with certain subjective factors. Institutions which are deemed to be undercapitalized depending on the category to which they are assigned are subject to certain mandatory supervisory corrective actions. The Company does not believe that these regulations had a material effect on its operations.

Effects of Government Monetary Policy

The earnings and growth of the Company are affected not only by general economic conditions, but also by the fiscal and monetary policies of the federal government, particularly the Federal Reserve. The Federal Reserve can and does implement national monetary policy for such purposes as curbing inflation and combating recession, but its open market operations in U.S. government securities, control of the discount rate applicable to borrowings from the Federal Reserve, and establishment of reserve requirements against certain deposits, influence the growth of bank loans, investments and deposits, and


- 11 -



also affect interest rates charged on loans or paid on deposits. The nature and impact of future changes in monetary policies and their impact on the Company and the Bank cannot be predicted with certainty.

ITEM 1A.            Risk Factors

The following are the material risks that management believes are specific to our business. This should not be viewed as an all inclusive list or in any particular order.

Future loan losses may exceed our allowance for loan losses.

We are subject to credit risk, which is the risk of losing principal or interest due to borrowers’ failure to repay loans in accordance with their terms. A downturn in the economy or the real estate market in our market areas or a rapid change in interest rates could have a negative effect on collateral values and borrowers’ ability to repay. This deterioration in economic conditions could result in losses to the Company in excess of loan loss allowances. To the extent loans are not paid timely by borrowers, the loans are placed on non-accrual, thereby reducing interest income. To the extent loan charge-offs exceed our financial models, increased amounts charged to the provision for loan losses would reduce income.

Rapidly changing interest rate environments could reduce our net interest margin, net interest income, fee income and net income.

Interest and fees on loans and securities, net of interest paid on deposits and borrowings, are a large part of our net income. Interest rates are key drivers of our net interest margin and subject to many factors beyond the control of management. As interest rates change, net interest income is affected. Rapid increases in interest rates in the future could result in interest expense increasing faster than interest income because of mismatches in financial instrument maturities. Further, substantially higher interest rates generally reduce loan demand and may result in slower loan growth, particularly in commercial real estate lending, an important factor in the Company’s revenue growth over the past two years. Decreases or increases in interest rates could reduce the spreads between the interest rates earned on assets and the rates of interest paid on liabilities, and therefore decrease net interest income. See “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.”

Slower than anticipated growth in new branches and new product and service offerings could result in reduced net income.

We have placed a strategic emphasis on expanding our branch network and product offerings. Executing this strategy carries risks of slower than anticipated growth both in new branches and new products. New branches and products require a significant investment of both financial and personnel resources. Lower than expected loan and deposit growth from new investments can result in revenues and net income generated by those investments that are less than anticipated. Also, opening new branches and introducing new products could result in more additional expenses than anticipated and divert resources from current core operations.

The financial services industry is very competitive.

We face competition in attracting and retaining deposits, making loans, and providing other financial services throughout our market area. Our competitors include other community banks, larger banking institutions, and a wide range of other financial institutions such as credit unions, government-sponsored enterprises, mutual fund companies, insurance companies and other non-bank businesses.

competitive environment, see “Business-Competition” in Item 1 above. If we are unable to compete effectively, we will lose market share and face a reduction in our income from our lending activities.

Decreased volumes and lower gains on sales of mortgage loans sold could reduce net income.

We originate and sell mortgage loans. Changes in interest rates affect demand for our loan products and the revenue realized on the sale of loans. A decrease in the volume of loans sold can decrease our revenues and net income.

Inability to hire or retain certain key professionals, management and staff could reduce our revenues and net income

We rely on key personnel to manage and operate our business, including important functions such as deposit generation and loan production. The loss of key staff may adversely affect our ability to maintain and manage these functions effectively, which could negatively affect our revenues and net income. In addition, loss of key personnel could result in increased recruiting and hiring expenses, which could cause higher than expected expenses and a decrease in our net income.

ITEM 2.  Properties

The Company’s administrative offices are located in Aberdeen, Washington. The building located at 300 East Market Street is owned by the Bank and houses the main branch. The administrative offices of the Bank and the Company, which are leased from an unaffiliated third party, are located at 1101 S. Boone Street.

Pacific owns the land and buildings occupied by its thirteen branches in Grays Harbor, Pacific, Skagit, Whatcom and Wahkiakum Counties, as well as its data processing operations in Long Beach, Washington. The remaining locations operate in leased facilities, which are leased from unaffiliated third parties. The aggregate monthly lease payment for all leased space is approximately $34,000.

In addition to the land and buildings owned by Pacific, it also owns all of its furniture, fixtures and equipment, including data processing equipment, at December 31, 2006. The net book value of the Company’s premises and equipment was $11.5 million at that date.

Management believes that the facilities are of sound construction and in good operating condition, are appropriately insured and are adequately equipped for carrying on the business of the Bank.

ITEM 3. Legal Proceedings

The Company and the Bank from time to time are party to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Management believes that there are no threatened or pending proceedings against the Company or the Bank which, if determined adversely, would have a material effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations or cashflows.

ITEM 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders in the fourth quarter of 2006.

ITEM 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters, and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

The Company’s common stock is presently traded on the OTC Bulletin Board under the trading symbol “PFLC.OB”. Historically, trading in our stock has been very limited and the trades that have occurred cannot be characterized as amounting to an established public trading market. As a result, the trading prices of our common stock may not reflect the price that would result if our stock was actively traded at high volumes.

The following are high and low bid prices quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board during the periods indicated. The quotations reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, mark-down or commission and may not represent actual transactions:

As of December 31, 2006, there were approximately 1,171 shareholders of record of the Company’s common stock. Effective January 1, 2005, the Company appointed Mellon Investor Services LLC to serve as the transfer agent for our common stock. Prior to that date, the Company served as its own transfer agent.

The Company’s Board of Directors declared dividends on its common stock in December 2006 and 2005 in the amounts per share of $.75 and $.73, respectively. The Board of Directors has adopted a dividend policy which is reviewed annually. There can be no assurance the Company will continue to increase its dividend or declare and pay dividends at historical rates.

Payment of dividends is subject to regulatory limitations. Under federal banking law, the payment of dividends by the Company and the Bank is subject to capital adequacy requirements established by the Federal Reserve and the FDIC. Under Washington general corporate law as it applies to the Company, no cash dividend may be declared or paid if, after giving effect to the dividend, the Company is insolvent or its liabilities exceed its assets. Payment of dividends on the Common Stock is also affected by statutory limitations, which restrict the ability of the Bank to pay upstream dividends to the Company. Under Washington banking law as it applies to the Bank, no dividend may be declared or paid in an amount greater than net profits then available, and after a portion of such net profits have been added to the surplus funds of the Bank. Under applicable restrictions, as of December 31, 2006, the Bank could declare dividends totaling $6,551,000 without obtaining prior regulatory approval.

ITEM 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with Pacific’s audited consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this report. In addition, please refer to Pacific’s forward-looking statement disclosure included in Part I of this report.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Years ended December 31, 2006, 2005, and 2004

General. The Company’s net income for 2006 was $6,551,000, an 8.4% increase compared to $6,046,000 in 2005, and an increase of 14.8% from $5,707,000 in 2004. Basic earnings per share were $1.01, $.94, and $.93 for 2006, 2005, and 2004, respectively. Return on average assets was 1.26%, 1.31%, and 1.41% in 2006, 2005, and 2004, respectively. Return on average equity was 13.16%, 12.70%, and 14.21%, respectively, in 2006, 2005, and 2004. The increase in net income for the current year is primarily due to increased lending volume and interest and lower provision for credit losses. Reductions in return on average assets and return on average equity can be attributed primarily to the addition of goodwill associated with the acquisition of BNW and the growth in facilities as a result of branch expansion.

The following table presents condensed consolidated statements of income for the Company for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2006.

For purposes of computing the average yield, the Company used historical cost balances which do not give effect to changes in fair value that are reflected as a component of shareholders’ equity.

Net interest income increased 7.1% to $23,867,000 in 2006 compared to 2005. The increase is primarily the result of increased lending volumes, higher loan balances and higher interest rates earned on interest earning assets. The Company’s interest income increased 23.0% to $36,444,000 in 2006 from $29,631,000 in 2005. Interest expense increased to $12,577,000 in 2006 or 71.2%, compared to $7,347,000 in 2005 reflecting higher rates paid on interest bearing liabilities, which were exacerbated by a shift in deposit mix towards higher cost time deposit and money market accounts. Net interest margin was also negatively impacted in the fourth quarter of 2006 as rates paid on deposits continued to climb after yields earned on loans stabilized mid-year as the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) stopped increasing short-term interest rates. Approximately 75% of the Company’s loan portfolio is variable with pricing tied to indexes that are heavily influenced by short-term interest rates. Net interest income increased 14.2% to $22,284,000 in 2005 compared to 2004. The Company’s interest income increased 22.8% to $29,631,000 in 2005 from $24,138,000 in 2004.

The Company’s average loan portfolio increased $44,086,000, or 11.9%, from year end 2005 to year end 2006, and increased $56,245,000, or 17.8%, from 2004 to 2005. The increase in loans in 2005 and 2006 is a result of the Company’s continued focus on commercial business and commercial and construction real estate lending. The Company attributes the growth in commercial loans to its strong local presence in the markets it serves and its ability to meet the needs of its commercial customers through local decision making and rapid responses to customer inquiries. Additionally, the Company continued to benefit from its expanded presence in the vibrant markets of Whatcom County and Clatsop County, each of which enjoyed a very strong residential real estate construction market in 2006.

The Company’s average investment portfolio decreased $1,029,000 or 2.6% from 2005, and decreased $12,425,000, or 23.9%, from 2004 to 2005. The changes in 2006 and 2005 were due to maturing investments being utilized to fund loan production.

The Company’s average deposits increased $42,650,000 or 11.0% from 2005, and increased $52,113,000 or 15.6% in 2005 from 2004. The Company attributes its growth to its experienced branch staff, a commitment to improving customer service throughout its branch delivery system, and branch expansion. During 2006, average deposits from new branches contributed $6,110,000, or 14.3%, to the overall increase.

The Company increased its average borrowings during 2006 by $9,855,000 or 37.7%, primarily as a result of issuing $8,248,000 in trust preferred securities in June 2006. Total borrowings consist of advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Seattle, short-term borrowings with correspondent banks and secured borrowings. The Company decreased its average borrowings during 2005 by $1,622,000 or 6.5%. Average secured borrowings decreased to $1,981,000 compared to $2,942,000 in 2005. The secured borrowings at December 31, 2006 represent borrowings collateralized by participation interests in loans originated by the Company. These borrowings are repaid as payments are made on the underlying loans, bearing interest rates ranging from 6.5% to 8.5%.

Net interest margins were 5.04%, 5.25%, and 5.25%, for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005, and 2004, respectively.

Service charges on deposits decreased 1.2% during 2006 and increased 13.3% during 2004. The Company continues to emphasize the importance of exceptional customer service and believes this emphasis facilitated the opening of a significant number of new demand deposit accounts during 2005, together with the addition of three new full-service branches in 2006. Flattening overdraft revenue contributed to the decrease in service charges in 2006 as the Bank discontinued advertising of its overdraft protection product in mid-year.

Income from sources other than service charges on deposit accounts totaled $2,724,000 in 2006, an increase of $113,000 from 2005, or 4.3%. The largest component is gain on sales of loans. The market interest rate environment heavily influences revenue from mortgage banking activities. Refinance activity continued to be strong for most of 2006, as long-term interest rates remained stable, with a softening of demand in the fourth quarter. Management expects gains on sale of loans to remain flat in 2007 due to new home construction and refinancing activity slowing, which will be only partially offset by additional volume projected for the Oregon market. Other major components of non-interest income were bank owned life insurance income and other operating income.

Non-Interest Expense. Total non-interest expense in 2006 was $18,118,000, an increase of $1,552,000 or 9.4% compared to $16,566,000 in 2005. In 2005, non-interest expense increased $3,011,000 or 22.2% compared to $13,555,000 in 2004. Changes in non-interest expense are discussed in greater detail below. The Company expects that non-interest expense will increase approximately 10% during 2007 as it continues to make infrastructure improvements to support future growth.

The following table represents the principal categories of non-interest expense for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2006.

Total non-interest expense $ 18,118   $  1,552   9.4 %   $ 16,566   $  3,011   22.2 %   $ 13,555  
 

Salary and employee benefits, the largest component of non-interest expense, increased by $536,000, or 5.3%, in 2006 to $10,609,000 and increased by $1,939,000, or 23.8%, in 2005 compared to 2004. The Company increased its level of staffing to 203 full-time equivalent employees at December 31, 2006 from 181 full-time equivalent employees at December 31, 2005. Higher salaries, additional employees primarily from new branches and increased performance-based compensation were the key drivers of increased personnel expense.

Occupancy and equipment expenses increased $381,000 to $2,418,000 in 2006 compared with $2,037,000 for 2005 due to increased facilities expenses, primarily rent and increased depreciation expense related to the acquisition of fixed assets needed to support the growth of the Company and the addition of new locations. Occupancy and equipment expenses associated with new branches in Raymond and Anacortes, Washington totaled $220,000 in 2006. Occupancy and equipment expenses increased 28.3% for 2005 compared to 2004.


- 21 -



Marketing and advertising expense decreased 2.0% to $485,000 in 2006 compared with $495,000 for 2005. The decrease was due primarily to increased promotional costs in 2005 associated with the expansion of the marketing department undertaken to increase the Company’s presence in its primary market areas, and a name change for all BNW branches. Marketing and advertising expenses increased 86.1% for 2005 compared to 2004.

State taxes paid in 2006 totaled $375,000, an increase of 7.8% compared with 2005 due to increased revenues. In 2005, state taxes totaled $348,000, an increase of 13.7% over 2004.

Data processing expense decreased 11.9% to $422,000 in 2006 compared with $479,000 for 2005. The decrease is attributable to the implementation of back counter image capture which reduced item processing costs and expedited funds availability with the Federal Reserve Bank. Data processing expense decreased $135,000 or 22.0% in 2005 compared to 2004 due to costs savings associated with consolidating the BNW processing operations into the Company’s existing in house system.

Other operating expense increased 21.5% to $3,809,000 in 2006 compared with $3,134,000 for 2005 primarily due to increases in professional fees, FDIC assessments, and loan collection expense, which were up $354,000, $67,000, $63,000 and $41,000, respectively.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The financial information contained within these statements is, to a significant extent, financial information that is based on approximate measures of the financial effects of transactions and events that have already occurred. Based on its evaluation of accounting policies that involve the most complex and subjective decisions and assessments, management has identified the following as its most critical accounting policies.

Allowance for Credit Losses

The Company’s allowance for credit loss methodology incorporates a variety of risk considerations, both quantitative and qualitative, in establishing an allowance for credit losses that management believes is appropriate at each reporting date. Quantitative factors include the Company’s historical loss experience, delinquency and charge-off trends, collateral values, changes in nonperforming loans, and other factors. Quantitative factors also incorporate known information about individual loans, including borrowers’ sensitivity to interest rate movements. Qualitative factors include the general economic environment in the Company’s markets, including economic conditions and, in particular, the state of certain industries. Size and complexity of individual credits in relation to loan structure, existing loan policies and pace of portfolio growth are other qualitative factors that are considered in the methodology. As the Company adds new products and increases the complexity of its loan portfolio, it intends to enhance its methodology accordingly. A materially different amount could be reported for the provision for credit losses in the statement of operations to change the allowance for credit losses if management’s assessment of the above factors were different. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements and the accompanying notes presented elsewhere herein, as well as the portion of this Management’s Discussion and Analysis section entitled “LENDING – Allowance and Provision for Credit Losses.” Although management believes the levels of the allowance as of both December 31, 2006 and 2005 were adequate to absorb losses inherent in the loan portfolio, a decline in local economic conditions, or other factors, could result in increasing losses that cannot reasonably be predicted at this time.

Goodwill

Goodwill is initially recorded when the purchase price paid for an acquisition exceeds the estimated fair value of the net identified tangible and intangible assets acquired. Goodwill is presumed to have an indefinite useful life and is tested, at least annually, for impairment at the reporting unit level. The Company performs an annual review each year, or more frequently if indicators of potential impairment exist, to determine if the recorded goodwill is impaired. The Company’s impairment review process compares the fair value of the Company to its carrying value, including the goodwill related to the Company. If the fair value exceeds the carrying value, goodwill of the Company is not considered impaired and no additional analysis is necessary. As of December 31, 2006, there have been no events or changes in circumstances that would indicate a potential impairment.

ASSET AND LIABILITY MANAGEMENT

The largest component of the Company’s earnings is net interest income. Interest income and interest expense are affected by general economic conditions, competition in the market place, market interest rates and repricing and maturity characteristics of the Company’s assets and liabilities. Exposure to interest rate risk is primarily a function of differences between the maturity and repricing schedules of assets (principally loans and investment securities) and liabilities (principally deposits). Assets and liabilities are described as interest sensitivity for a given period of time when they mature or can reprice within that period. The difference between the amount of interest sensitive assets and interest sensitive liabilities is referred to as the interest sensitivity “GAP” for any given period. The “GAP” may be either positive or negative. If positive, more assets reprice than liabilities. If negative, the reverse is true.

Certain shortcomings are inherent in the interest sensitivity “GAP” method of analysis. Complexities such as prepayment risk and customer responses to interest rate changes are not taken into account in the “GAP” analysis. Accordingly, management also utilizes a net interest income simulation model to measure interest rate sensitivity. Simulation modeling gives a broader view of net interest income variability, by providing various rate shock exposure estimates. Management regularly reviews the interest rate risk position and provides measurement reports to the Board of Directors.

The following table shows the dollar amount of interest sensitive assets and interest sensitive liabilities at December 31, 2006 and differences between them for the maturity or repricing periods indicated.

Effects of Changing Prices. The results of operations and financial condition presented in this report are based on historical cost information, and are unadjusted for the effects of inflation. Since the assets and liabilities of financial institutions are primarily monetary in nature, the performance of the Company is affected more by changes in interest rates than by inflation. Interest rates generally increase as the rate of inflation increases, but the magnitude of the change in rates may not be the same.

The effects of inflation on financial institutions are normally not as significant as its influence on businesses which have investments in plants and inventories. During periods of high inflation there are normally corresponding increases in the money supply, and financial institutions will normally experience above-average growth in assets, loans and deposits. Inflation does increase the price of goods and services, and therefore operating expenses increase during inflationary periods.

INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO

The Company’s investment securities portfolio increased $6,460,000, or 17.8% during 2006 to $42,712,000 compared to year end 2005. The Company’s investment securities portfolio decreased $6,738,000, or 15.7% during 2005 to $36,252,000 at year end from $42,990,000 in 2004 primarily in other securities as the Company liquidated the majority of the mutual funds held in order to fund loan growth.

The Company regularly reviews its investment portfolio to determine whether any of its securities are other than temporarily impaired. In addition to accounting and regulatory guidance, in determining whether a security is other than temporarily impaired, the Company considers duration and amount of each unrealized loss, the financial condition of the issuer, and the prospects for a change in market value and net asset value within a reasonable period of time. At December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company did not have any other than temporarily impaired securities.

The carrying values of investment securities at December 31 in each of the last three years are as follows:

At December 31, 2006, 35.1% of the total loan portfolio presented above was due in one year or less.

Risk Elements. Risk elements include accruing loans past due ninety days or more, non-accrual loans, and loans which have been restructured to provide reduction or deferral of interest or principal for reasons related to the debtor’s financial difficulties. The Company’s policy for placing loans on non-accrual status is based upon management’s evaluation of the ability of the borrower to meet both principal and interest payments as they become due. Generally, loans with interest or principal payments which are ninety or more days past due are placed on non-accrual, unless they are well-secured and in the process of collection, and the interest accrual is reversed against income.

Non-accrual loans totaled $7,335,000 at December 31, 2006. This represents 1.67% of total loans including loans held for sale, compared to $6,650,000, or 1.63% at December 31, 2005. The totals are net of charge-offs based on management’s estimate of fair market value or the result of appraisals. Of the non-accrual loans at year end 2006 and 2005, $5,603,000 and $5,817,000 related to one borrower involved in the forest products industry, of which $3,510,000 is guaranteed by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) representing 47.9% of total non-accrual loans outstanding. During the last half of 2006 the borrower ceased operations and assets securing the loan were placed into receivership. Subsequent to December 31, 2006, collateral securing the $5,603,000 was liquidated with closing to occur on or before March 15, 2007. Recovery of credit losses is estimated at $693,000 before liquidation expenses. A claim has been submitted and approved by the USDA for payment of the guaranteed portion. Sales of foreclosed real estate owned totaled $42,000, $0, and $58,000 during 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Interest income on non-accrual loans that would have been recorded had those loans performed in accordance with their initial terms, as of December 31, was $306,000 for 2006, $76,000 for 2005, $8,000 for 2004, $37,000 for 2003, and $118,000 for 2002. Interest income recognized on impaired loans for 2006 was $272,000, for 2005 was $569,000, for 2004 was $16,000, for 2003 was $19,000, and for 2002 was $13,000.

Loan Concentrations. The Company has credit risk exposure related to real estate loans. The Company makes real estate loans for construction and loans for other purposes which are secured by real estate. At December 31, 2006, loans secured by real estate totaled $296,269,000, which represents 67.5% of the total loan portfolio. Real estate construction loans comprised $87,063,000 of that amount, while real estate loans secured by residential properties totaled $64,545,000. As a result of these concentrations of loans, the loan portfolio is susceptible to changes in economic and market conditions in the Company’s market areas. The Company generally requires collateral on all real estate exposures and typically maintains loan-to-value ratios of no greater than 80%.

Allowance and Provision for Credit Losses. The allowance for credit losses reflects management’s current estimate of the amount required to absorb losses on existing loans and commitments to extend credit. Loans deemed uncollectible are charged against and reduce the allowance. Periodically, a provision for credit losses is charged to current expense. This provision acts to replenish the allowance for credit losses and to maintain the allowance at a level that management deems adequate. There is no precise method of predicting specific loan losses or amounts that ultimately may be charged off on segments of the loan portfolio. The determination that a loan may become uncollectible, in whole or in part, is a matter of judgment. Similarly, the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses can be determined only on a judgmental basis, after full review, including (a) consideration of economic conditions and the effect on particular industries and specific borrowers; (b) a review of borrowers’ financial data, together with industry data, the competitive situation, the borrowers’ management capabilities and other factors; (c) a continuing evaluation of the loan portfolio, including monitoring by lending officers and staff credit


- 27 -



personnel of all loans which are identified as being of less than acceptable quality; (d) an in-depth appraisal, on a monthly basis, of all loans judged to present a possibility of loss (if, as a result of such monthly appraisals, the loan is judged to be not fully collectible, the carrying value of the loan is reduced to that portion considered collectible); and (e) an evaluation of the underlying collateral for secured lending, including the use of independent appraisals of real estate properties securing loans. A formal analysis of the adequacy of the allowance is conducted quarterly and is reviewed by the Board of Directors. Based on this analysis, management considers the allowance for credit losses to be adequate.

Periodic provisions for loan losses are made to maintain the allowance for credit losses at an appropriate level. The provisions are based on an analysis of various factors including historical loss experience based on volumes and types of loans, volumes and trends in delinquencies and non-accrual loans, trends in portfolio volume, results of internal and independent external credit reviews, and anticipated economic conditions.

Transactions in the allowance for credit losses for the five years ended December 31, 2006 are as follows:

The allowance for credit losses was $4,033,000 at year-end 2006, compared with $5,296,000 at year-end 2005, a decrease of $1,263,000 or 23.9%. The decrease in 2006 was due to a single charge-off of $1,827,000 that was attributable to one borrower with respect to which funds intended as security for the loan were deliberately diverted from the Company. The increased level of allowance for credit losses in 2004 and 2005 was primarily due to the growth of the loan portfolio. Changes in the composition of the loan portfolio included a 6.7% increase in commercial loans, while real estate construction and real estate mortgage loans increased 8.5%. Estimated loss factors used in the allowance for credit loss analysis are established based in part on historic charge-off data by loan category and economic conditions. Based on the trends in historical charge-offs analysis, the loss factors used in the allowance for credit loss analysis for commercial loans and real estate loans were increased during the year ended December 31, 2006.

- 28 -



Based on the methodology used for credit loss analysis, management deemed the allowance for credit losses of $4,033,000 at December 31, 2006 (0.95% of total loans outstanding and 54.98% of non-performing loans) adequate to provide for probable losses based on an evaluation of known and inherent risks in the loan portfolio at that date.

In May 1993, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 114, “Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan” and in October 1996, issued SFAS No. 118, “Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan—Income Recognition Disclosures, an amendment to SFAS No. 114”. The Company measures impaired loans based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or, as a practical expedient, at the loan’s observable market price or the fair market value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. The Company excludes loans that are currently measured at fair value or at the lower of cost or fair value, and certain large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans that are collectively measured for impairment.

The following table summarizes the Bank’s impaired loans at December 31:

 
(dollars in thousands) 2006   2005   2004   2003   2002  

 
Total Impaired Loans $ 7,379   $ 6,650   $ 7,934   $ 588   $ 2,314  
Total Impaired Loans with Valuation Allowance   51     4,917     7,464     123     18  
Valuation Allowance related to Impaired Loans   17     924     200     23     2  
 

No allocation of the allowance for credit losses was considered necessary for the remaining impaired loans. The balance of the allowance for credit losses in excess of these specific reserves is available to absorb losses from all loans.

It is the Company’s policy to charge-off any loan or portion of a loan that is deemed uncollectible in the ordinary course of business. The entire allowance for credit losses is available to absorb such charge-offs. The Company allocates its allowance for credit losses primarily on the basis of historical data. Based on certain characteristics of the portfolio, losses can be anticipated for major loan categories.

The following table presents the allocation of the allowance for credit losses among the major loan categories based primarily on their historical net charge-off experience and other business considerations at December 31 in each of the last five years.

The Company had a specific reserve of $827,000 at December 31, 2005, relative to one borrower in the forest products industry discussed above under non-accrual loans. This specific reserve was used to offset losses in 2006, resulting in an overall net reduction of the allowance for credit losses of $1,263,000 during 2006. The table indicates an increase of $116,000 in the allowance related to commercial loans

- 29 -



from December 31, 2005 to December 31, 2006, a decrease of $1,381,000 relating to real estate loans, and an increase of $2,000 related to consumer loans. The primary reason for the increases and changes in percentage allocations are due to changes in portfolio mix and utilization of the specific reserve totaling $827. There was a decrease of $91,000 from December 31, 2004 to December 31, 2005 in the allowance related to commercial loans, with an additional increase of $1,116,000 and $35,000 in consumer loans for the same period. There was an increase of $916,000 from December 31, 2003 to December 31, 2004 in the allowance related to commercial loans, with additional increases of $1,033,000 in real estate loans and $49,000 in consumer loans during the same period.

DEPOSITS

The Company’s primary source of funds has historically been customer deposits. A variety of deposit products are offered to attract customer deposits. The products include non-interest bearing demand accounts, negotiable order of withdrawal (NOW) accounts, savings accounts, and time deposits. Interest-bearing accounts earn interest at rates established by management, based on competitive market factors and the need to increase or decrease certain types of maturities of deposits. The Company has succeeded in growing its deposit base over the last three years despite increasing competition for deposits in our markets. The Company believes that it has benefited from its local identity and superior customer service. Attracting deposits remains integral to the Company’s business as it is the primary source of funds for loans and a major decline in deposits or failure to attract deposits in the future could have an adverse effect on operations. The Company relies primarily on its branch staff and current customer relationships to attract and retain deposits. The Company’s strategic plan includes continuing to grow non-interest bearing accounts which contribute to higher levels of non-interest income and net interest margin.

The following table sets forth the average balances for each major category of deposits and the weighted average interest rate paid for deposits for the periods indicated.

Money market accounts increased 17.9% or $15.2 million and time certificates of deposit increased 47.4% or $56.5 million during 2006. Management attributes the growth in time certificates to aggressive

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES AND OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

The Bank is party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of their customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit, and involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized on the consolidated balance sheets.

The Bank’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as they do for on-balance-sheet instruments. A summary of the Bank’s commitments at December 31 is as follows:

 
  2006   2005  
   
Commitments to extend credit $ 100,792   $ 95,369  
Standby letters of credit    2,650      3,907

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Liquidity. The primary concern of depositors, creditors and regulators is the Company’s ability to have sufficient funds readily available to repay liabilities as they mature. In order to ensure adequate funds are available at all times, the Company monitors and projects the amount of funds required on a daily basis. Through the Bank, the Company obtains funds from its customer base, which provides a stable source of “core” demand and consumer deposits.

Other sources are available with borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Seattle and correspondent banks. Liquidity requirements can also be met through disposition of short-term assets. In management’s opinion, the Company maintains an adequate level of liquid assets, consisting of cash and due from banks, interest bearing deposits with banks, and federal funds sold to support the daily cash flow requirements.

Management expects to continue to rely on customer deposits as the primary source of liquidity, but may also obtain liquidity from maturity of its investment securities, sale of securities currently available for sale, loan sales, loan repayments, net income, and other borrowings. Although deposit balances have shown historical growth, deposit habits of customers may be influenced by changes in the financial services industry, interest rates available on other investments, general economic conditions, consumer confidence, and competition. Borrowings may be used on a short-term basis to compensate for reductions in deposits, but are generally not considered a long term solution to liquidity issues. Therefore, reductions in deposits could adversely affect the Company’s results of operations.

The holding company specifically relies on dividends from the Bank, proceeds from the exercise of stock options, and proceeds from the issuance of trust preferred securities for its funds, which are used for various corporate purposes. On July 2, 2003, the Federal Reserve issued Supervisory Letter SR 03-13 clarifying that Bank Holding Companies should continue to report trust preferred securities in accordance with current Federal Reserve Bank instructions which allows trust preferred securities to be counted in Tier 1 capital subject to certain limitations. The Federal Reserve has indicated it will review the implications of any accounting treatment changes and, if necessary or warranted, will provide appropriate guidance. For additional information regarding trust preferred securities, this discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this report including Footnote 8 – “Junior Subordinated Debentures”.

Capital.  The Company endeavors to maintain equity capital at an adequate level to support and promote investor confidence. The Company conducts its business through the Bank. Thus, the Company needs to be able to provide capital and financing to the Bank should the need arise. The primary sources for obtaining capital are additional stock sales and retained earnings. Total shareholders’ equity averaged $49,787,000 in 2006, which includes $11,282,000 of goodwill associated with the BNW acquisition. Shareholders’ equity averaged $47,620,000 in 2005, compared to $40,154,000 in 2004.

The Company’s Board of Directors considers financial results, growth plans, and anticipated capital needs in formulating its dividend policy. The payment of dividends is subject to adequate financial results of the Bank, and limitations imposed by law and governmental regulations.

The Federal Reserve has established guidelines that mandate risk-based capital requirements for bank holding companies. Under the guidelines, one of four risk weights is applied to balance sheet assets, each with different capital requirements based on the credit risk of the asset. The Company’s capital ratios include the assets of the Bank on a consolidated basis in accordance with the requirements of the Federal Reserve. The Company’s capital ratios have exceeded the minimum required to be classified “well capitalized” for each of the past three year-end reporting dates.

The following table sets forth the minimum required capital ratios and actual ratios for December 31, 2006 and 2005.

ITEM 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company’s results of operations are largely dependent upon its ability to manage interest rate risk. Management considers interest rate risk to be a significant market risk that could have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. The Company does not currently use


- 33 -



derivatives to manage market and interest rate risks. All of the Company’s transactions are denominated in U.S. dollars. Approximately 75% of the Company’s loans have interest rates that float with the Company’s reference rate. Fixed rate loans generally are made with a term of five years or less.

In the Asset and Liability section of the Management’s Discussion and Analysis in Item 7 is a table presenting estimated maturity or pricing information indicating the Company’s exposure to interest rate changes. The assumptions and description of the process used to manage interest rate risk is further discussed in the Asset and Liability Management section. The following table discloses the balances of financial instruments held by the Company, including the fair value as of December 31, 2006.

The expected maturities are disclosed based on contractual schedules. Principal repayments are not considered. The expected maturities for financial liabilities with no stated maturity reflect estimated future roll-off rates. The roll-off rates for non-interest bearing deposits, interest bearing demand deposits, money market accounts, and savings deposits are 15%, 25%, 25% and 20%, respectively. The interest rates disclosed are based on rates in effect at December 31, 2006. Fair values are estimated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles as disclosed in the financial statements.

As illustrated in the table above, our balance sheet is currently sensitive to decreasing interest rates, meaning that more interest bearing assets mature or re-price than interest earning liabilities. Therefore, if our asset and liability mix were to remain unchanged, and there was a decrease in market rates of interest, the Company would expect that its net income would be adversely affected. In contrast, an increasing interest rate environment would positively affect income. While the table presented above provides information about the Company’s interest sensitivity, it does not predict the trends of future earnings. For this reason, financial modeling is used to forecast earnings under varying interest rate projections. While this process assists in managing interest rate risk, it does require significant assumptions for the projection of loan prepayments, loan origination volumes and liability funding sources that may prove to be inaccurate.

ITEM 9A. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Our management has evaluated, with the participation and under the supervision of our chief executive officer (CEO) and chief financial officer (CFO), the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that, as of such date, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that information relating to the Company, including its consolidated subsidiaries, required to be disclosed in reports that it files under the Exchange Act is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (2) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s internal control system is designed to provide reasonable assurance to our management and the board of directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements. Nonetheless, all internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Because of these inherent limitations, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Even systems determined to be effective as of a particular date can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation and may not eliminate the need for restatements.

The Company’s management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control – Integrated Framework. Based on our assessment, we believe that, as of December 31, 2006, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is effective based on those criteria.

The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, Deloitte & Touche LLP, has audited management’s assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, as stated in their report included in Item 15 of this report below.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Pacific Financial Corporation
Aberdeen, Washington

We have audited management’s assessment, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, that Pacific Financial Corporation and Subsidiary (the “Company”) maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management’s assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management’s assessment, testing, and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinions.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company’s principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the company’s board of directors, management, and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generall y accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, management’s assessment that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on the criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Also, in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, based on the criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements


 

Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Pacific Financial Corporation (the Company), and its wholly owned subsidiary, The Bank of the Pacific (the Bank), after elimination of intercompany transactions and balances. The Company has two wholly owned subsidiaries, PFC Statutory Trust I and II (the Trusts), which do not meet the criteria for consolidation under Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 46 (revised), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities,” and therefore, are not consolidated in the Company’s financial statements.

On February 27, 2004, the Company completed the acquisition of BNW Bancorp, Inc. (BNW) in a merger transaction. The acquisition of BNW, which had $132,834 of assets and $88,281 of deposits, was accounted for using the purchase accounting method.

Nature of Operations

The Company is a holding company which operates primarily through its subsidiary bank. The Bank operates eighteen branches located in Grays Harbor, Pacific, Skagit, Whatcom and Wahkiakum Counties in western Washington and one in Clatsop County, Oregon. The Bank provides loan and deposit services to customers, who are predominately small- and middle-market businesses and middle-income individuals in western Washington and Oregon.

On June 23, 2006, the Bank completed a deposit transfer and assumption transaction with an Oregon-based bank for a $1,268 premium. In connection with completion of the transaction, the Oregon Department of Consumer and Business Services issued a Certificate of Authority to the Bank authorizing it to conduct a banking business in the State of Oregon. The premium, and the resultant right to conduct business in Oregon, has been recorded as an indefinite-lived intangible asset.

Consolidated Financial Statement Presentation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and practices within the banking industry. The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, as of the date of the balance sheet, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for credit losses and the valuation of deferred tax assets.

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified, with no change to net income or shareholders’ equity, to conform to the 2006 presentation. Additionally, all prior year amounts have been adjusted to reflect a two-for-one stock split effective April 4, 2005. All dollar amounts, except per share information, are stated in thousands.

Securities Available for Sale

Securities available for sale consist of debt securities, marketable equity securities and mutual funds that the Company intends to hold for an indefinite period, but not necessarily to maturity. Such securities may be sold to implement the Company’s asset/liability management strategies and in response to changes in interest rates and similar factors. Securities available for sale are reported at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses, net of the related deferred tax effect, are reported as a net amount in a separate component of shareholders’ equity entitled

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements


 

“accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).” Realized gains and losses on securities available for sale, determined using the specific identification method, are included in earnings. Amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts are recognized in interest income over the period to maturity. For mortgage-backed securities, actual maturity may differ from contractual maturity due to principal payments and amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts may vary due to assumptions relating to the rate at which loans will be repaid.

Securities Held to Maturity

Debt securities for which the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are reported at cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts, which are recognized in interest income over the period to maturity.

Declines in the fair value of individual securities held to maturity and available for sale below their cost that are other than temporary result in write-downs of the individual securities to their fair value. Such write-downs are included in earnings as realized losses. Management evaluates individual securities for other than temporary impairment on a quarterly basis based on the securities’ current credit quality, interest rates, term to maturity and management’s intent and ability to hold the securities until the net book value is recovered.

Federal Home Loan Bank Stock

The Company, as a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) system, is required to maintain an investment in capital stock of the FHLB in an amount equal to the greater of 1% of its outstanding home loans or 5% of advances from the FHLB. The recorded amount of FHLB stock equals its fair value because the shares can only be redeemed by the FHLB at the $100 per share par value.

Loans Held for Sale

Mortgage loans originated for sale in the foreseeable future in the secondary market are carried at the lower of aggregate cost or estimated market value. Gains and losses on sales of loans are recognized at settlement date and are determined by the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying value of the loans. All sales are made without recourse. Net unrealized losses are recognized through a valuation allowance established by charges to income.

Loans Receivable

Loans receivable that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or pay-off are reported at their outstanding principal balances adjusted for any charge-offs, the allowance for credit losses, and any deferred fees or costs on originated loans and unamortized premiums or discounts on purchased loans. Loan fees and certain direct loan origination costs are deferred, and the net fee or cost is recognized as an adjustment to interest income using the interest method.

Because some loans may not be repaid in full, an allowance for credit losses is recorded. An allowance for credit losses is a valuation allowance for probable incurred credit losses. The allowance for credit losses is increased by a provision for credit losses charged to expense and decreased by charge-offs (net of recoveries). The allowance is based on ongoing, quarterly assessments of the probable and estimable losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The Company’s methodology for assessing the appropriateness of the allowance consists of several key elements, which include the formula allowance and specific allowances.

Pacific Financial Corporation and Subsidiary
December 31, 2006 and 2005 and for the three years ended December 31, 2006
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements


 

The formula portion of the general credit loss allowance is established by applying a loss percentage factor to the different loan types. The allowances are provided based on management’s continuing evaluation of the pertinent factors underlying the quality of the loan portfolio, including changes in the size and composition of the loan portfolio, actual loan loss experience, current economic conditions, geographic concentrations, seasoning of the loan portfolio, specific industry concentrations, and the duration of the current business cycle. The recovery of the carrying value of loans is susceptible to future market conditions beyond the Company’s control, which may result in losses or recoveries differing from those provided. Specific allowances are established in cases where management has identified significant conditions or circumstances related to a loan that management believes indicate the probability that a loss has been incurred. Impaired loans consist of loans receivable that are not expected to be repaid in accordance with their contractual terms and are measured using the fair value of collateral. Smaller balance loans are excluded from this analysis.

Interest income on loans is accrued over the term of the loans based upon the principal outstanding. The accrual of interest on loans is discontinued when, in management’s opinion, the borrower may be unable to make payments as they come due. When interest accrual is discontinued, all unpaid accrued interest is reversed. Interest income is subsequently recognized only to the extent that cash payments are received until, in management’s judgment, the borrower has the ability to make contractual interest and principal payments, in which case the loan is returned to accrual status.

Premises and Equipment

Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation, which is computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Asset lives range from 3 to 39 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the terms of the respective leases or the estimated useful lives of the improvements, whichever is less. Gains or losses on dispositions are reflected in earnings.

Foreclosed Real Estate

Real estate properties acquired through, or in lieu of, foreclosure are to be sold and are initially recorded at the lower of cost or fair value of the properties less estimated costs of disposal. Any write-down to fair value at the time of transfer to other real estate owned is charged to the allowance for credit losses. Properties are evaluated regularly to ensure that the recorded amounts are supported by their current fair values, and that valuation allowances to reduce the carrying amounts to fair value less estimated costs to dispose are recorded as necessary. Any subsequent reductions in carrying values, and revenue and expense from the operations of properties, are charged to operations.

Goodwill and other intangible assets

At December 31, 2006, the Company had $13,153 in goodwill and other intangible assets. Goodwill and other intangibles with indefinite lives are tested, at least annually on June 30, or more frequently if indicators of potential impairment exist, for impairment. As of December 31, 2006, there have been no events or changes in circumstances that would indicate a potential impairment. Core deposit intangibles are amortized to non-interest expense using a straight line method over seven years. Net unamortized core deposit intangible totaled $603 at December 31, 2006. Amortization expense related to core deposit intangible during the year ended December 31, 2006 totaled $142. Amortization expense for the core deposit intangible is estimated to be $142 for each of the four succeeding years.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements


 

Impairment of long-lived assets

Management periodically reviews the carrying value of its long-lived assets to determine if an impairment has occurred or whether changes in circumstances have occurred that would require a revision to the remaining useful life, of which there have been none. In making such determination, management evaluates the performance, on an undiscounted basis, of the underlying operations or assets which give rise to such amount.

Transfers of Financial Assets

Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales when control over the assets has been surrendered. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when (1) the assets have been isolated from the Bank, (2) the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets, and (3) the Bank does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity.

Income Taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities result from differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities, and are reflected at currently enacted income tax rates applicable to the period in which the deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be realized or settled. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when management determines that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for income taxes.

The Company files a consolidated federal income tax return. The Bank provides for income taxes separately and remits to the Company amounts currently due in accordance with a Tax Allocation Agreement between the Company and the Bank.

Stock-Based Compensation

Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for stock option plans under recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Bulletin (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations. No stock-based employee compensation cost was reflected in net income for previous awards, as all options granted under the plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123R, Share Based Payment, which requires measurement of compensation cost for all stock based awards based on the grant date fair value and recognition of compensation cost over the service period of stock based awards. The Company has adopted SFAS No. 123R using the modified prospective method, which provides for no restatement of prior periods and no cumulative adjustment to equity awards. It also provide for expense recognition for both new and existing unvested stock-based awards.

     Diluted – pro forma     0.84     0.89  
 

The Company’s stock compensation plans are described more fully in Note 14.

Fair Values of Financial Instruments

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating the fair values of financial instruments disclosed in these consolidated financial statements:

 
  Cash, Interest Bearing Deposits at Other Financial Institutions, and Federal Funds Sold
 
The carrying amounts of cash, interest bearing deposits at other financial institutions, and federal funds sold approximate their fair value.
 
 
Securities Available for Sale and Held to Maturity
 
Fair values for securities are based on quoted market prices.
 
 
Federal Home Loan Bank Stock
 
The carrying value of Federal Home Loan Bank stock approximates its fair value.
 
 
Investment in PFC Statutory Trust I and II
 
The carrying value of the investment in PFC Statutory Trust I and II approximates their fair value and is recorded in other assets.
 
 
Loans
 
For variable rate loans that reprice frequently and have no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values. Fair values for fixed rate loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis, using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. Fair values of loans held for sale are based on their estimated market prices. Fair values for impaired loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses or underlying collateral values, where applicable.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements


 
  Deposit Liabilities
 
The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity date is included at the amount payable on demand. Fair values for fixed rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation based on interest rates currently offered on similar certificates.
 
 
 
Secured borrowings
 
For variable rate secured borrowings that reprice frequently and have no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values.
 
 
 
Short-Term Borrowings
 
The carrying amounts of short-term borrowings approximate their fair values.
 
 
 
Long-Term Borrowings and Junior Subordinated Debentures
 
The fair values of the Company’s long-term borrowings and junior subordinated debentures are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the Company’s incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.
 
 
 
Accrued Interest Receivable and Payable
 
The carrying amounts of accrued interest receivable and payable approximate their fair values.
 
 
 
Off-Balance-Sheet Instruments
 
The fair value of commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit was 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 customers. Since the majority of the Company’s off-balance-sheet instruments consist of non-fee producing, variable-rate commitments, the Company has determined they do not have a distinguishable fair value.
 

Cash Equivalents and Cash Flows

The Company considers all amounts included in the balance sheet caption “Cash and due from banks” to be cash equivalents. Cash flows from loans, interest bearing deposits in banks, federal funds sold, short-term borrowings, secured borrowings and deposits are reported net.

The Company maintains balances in depository institution accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if common shares were issued pursuant to the exercise of options under the Company’s stock option plans. Stock options excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because they are antidilutive, represented 252,550, 272,600 and 103,600 in 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Comprehensive Income

Accounting principles generally require that recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in net income. Certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale, are reported as a separate component of the equity section of the consolidated balance sheets, such items, along with net income, are components of comprehensive income. Gains and losses on securities available for

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109.” FIN 48 prescribes a comprehensive model for how a company should recognize, measure, present and disclose in its financial statements uncertain tax positions that it has taken or expects to take on a tax return. FIN 48 is effective beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2007. Management does not expect that the provisions of FIN 48 will materially impact the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” This statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. This statement will be effective for financial statements issued by the Company for the year ended December 31, 2008. Management is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Fiancial Statements,” (“SAB 108”), which provides guidance on quantifying financial statement misstatement and implementation (e.g., restatement or cumulative effect to assets, liabilities and retained earnings) when first applying this guidance. SAB 108 is effective for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006. The adoption of SAB 108 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, including an amendment of FASB statement No. 115. SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without have to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. SFAS No. 159 is expected to expand the use of fair value measurement, which is consistent with the long-term measurement objectives for accounting for financial instruments. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 with early adoption permitted. The Company has not yet determined the effect, if any, that the implementation of SFAS No. 159 will have on the results of operations or financial condition.

Note 2 - Restricted Assets

Federal Reserve Board regulations require that the Bank maintain certain minimum reserve balances in cash on hand and on deposit with the Federal Reserve Bank, based on a percentage of deposits. The average amount of such balances for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 was approximately $665 and $765, respectively.

Secured borrowings at December 31, 2006 and 2005 represent borrowings collateralized by participation interests in loans originated by the Bank. These borrowings are repaid as payments (normally monthly) are made on the underlying loans, bearing interest ranging from 6.5% to 8.5%. Original maturities range from May 2009 to February 2016.

Note 8 – Junior Subordinated Debentures

At December 31, 2006, two wholly-owned subsidiary grantor trusts established by the Company issued $13,000 of pooled Trust Preferred Securities (“trust preferred securities”). Trust preferred securities accrue and pay distributions periodically at specified annual rates as provided in the indentures. The trusts used the net proceeds from the offering to purchase a like amount of Junior Subordinated Debentures (the “Debentures”) of the Company. The Debentures are the sole assets of the trusts. The Company’s obligations under the Debentures and the related documents, taken together, constitute a full and unconditional guarantee by the Company of the obligations of the trusts. The trust preferred securities are mandatory redeemable upon the maturity of the Debentures, or upon earlier redemption as provided in the indentures. The Company has the right to redeem the Debentures in whole or in part on or after specified dates, at a redemption price specified in the indentures plus any accrued but unpaid interest to the redemption date.

The following table is a summary of the trust preferred securities and debentures at December 31, 2006:

Note 8 – Junior Subordinated Debentures (concluded)

The total amount of trust preferred securities outstanding at December 31, 2006 and 2005, was $13,000 and $5,000, respectively. The interest rate on the trust preferred securities issued in June 2006 resets quarterly and is tied to the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). The Company has the right to redeem the debentures issued in the December 2006 offering in March 2011, and the June 2006 offering in July 2011.

The Debentures issued by the Company to the grantor trusts totaling $13,000 are reflected in the consolidated balance sheet in the liabilities section under the caption “junior subordinated debentures”. The Company records interest expense on the corresponding junior subordinated debentures in the consolidated statements of income. The Company recorded $403 and $155 in the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, for the common capital securities issued by the issuer trusts.

On July 2, 2003, the Federal Reserve Board (“Federal Reserve”) issued Supervisory Letter SR 03-13 clarifying that Bank Holding Companies should continue to report trust preferred securities in accordance with current Federal Reserve Bank instructions which allows trust preferred securities to be counted in Tier 1 capital subject to certain limitations. The Federal Reserve has indicated it will review the implications of any accounting treatment changes and, if necessary or warranted, will provide appropriate guidance.

Note 10 - Employee Benefits

Incentive Compensation Plan

The Bank has a plan that provides incentive compensation to key employees if the Bank meets certain performance criteria established by the Board of Directors. The cost of this plan was $1,016, $1,023, and $919 in 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

401(k) Plans

The Bank has established a 401(k) profit sharing plan for those employees who meet the eligibility requirements set forth in the plan. Eligible employees may contribute up to 15% of their compensation, subject to regulatory limitations. Matching contributions by the Bank are at the discretion of the Board of Directors. Contributions totaled $334, $290 and $234 for 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Director and Employee Deferred Compensation Plans

The Company has director and employee deferred compensation plans. Under the terms of the plans, a director or employee may participate upon approval by the Board. The participant may then elect to defer a portion of his or her earnings (directors’ fees or salary) as designated at the beginning of each plan year. Payments begin upon retirement, termination, death or permanent disability, sale of the Company, the ten-year anniversary of the participant’s participation date, or at the discretion of the Company. There are currently two participants in the plans. Total deferrals plus earnings were $149, $134 and $113 at December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. There is no ongoing expense to the Company for this plan.

The directors of a bank acquired by the Company in 1999 adopted two deferred compensation plans for directors - one plan providing retirement income benefits for all directors and the other, a deferred compensation plan, covering only those directors who have chosen to participate in the plan. At the time of adopting these plans, the Bank purchased life insurance policies on directors participating in both plans which may be used to fund payments to them under these plans. Cash surrender values on these policies were $3,124 and $3,022 at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. In 2006, 2005 and 2004, the net benefit recorded from these plans, including the cost of the related life insurance, was $306, $334 and $322, respectively. Both of these plans were

fully funded and frozen as of September 30, 2001. Plan participants were given the option to either remain in the plan until reaching the age of 70 or to receive a lump-sum distribution. Participants electing to remain in the plan will receive annual payments over a ten-year period upon reaching 70 years of age. The liability associated with these plans totaled $339 and $354 at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan

The Company has a non-qualified deferred compensation plan to cover selected employees. Its annual contributions to the plan totaled $5, $5 and $5 in 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Covered employees may also contribute to the plan. The liability associated with this plan totaled $6 at December 31, 2006 and 2005.

Note 11 – Dividend Reinvestment Plan

In November 2005, the Company instituted a dividend reinvestment plan which allows for all or part of the cash dividends on common stock to be reinvested in shares of Company common stock based upon shareholder election. Under the plan, 1,000,000 shares are authorized for dividend reinvestment, of which 14,926 shares have been issued through December 31, 2006.

Note 12 - Commitments and Contingencies

The Bank is party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of their customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit, and involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized on the consolidated balance sheets.

The Bank’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as they do for on-balance-sheet instruments. A summary of the Bank’s commitments at December 31 is as follows:

 
   2006    2005  
Commitments to extend credit $ 100,792   $ 95,369  
Standby letters of credit   2,650     3,907  
 

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Bank’s experience has been that approximately 67% of loan commitments are drawn upon by customers. The Bank evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Bank upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the party. Collateral held varies, but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property and equipment, residential real estate, and income-producing commercial properties.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in

Note 12 - Commitments and Contingencies (concluded)

extending loan facilities to customers. Collateral held varies as specified above, and is required in instances where the Bank deems necessary.

Certain executive officers have entered into employment contracts with the Bank which provide for contingent payments subject to future events.

The Bank has agreements with commercial banks for lines of credit totaling $38,500, none of which were used at December 31, 2006. In addition, the Bank has a credit line with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Seattle totaling 20% of assets, $21,500 of which was used at December 31, 2006. These borrowings are collateralized under blanket pledge and custody agreements.

Because of the nature of its activities, the Company is subject to various pending and threatened legal actions which arise in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, liabilities arising from these claims, if any, will not have a material effect on the financial condition, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

Note 13 - Significant Concentrations of Credit Risk

Most of the Bank’s business activity is with customers and governmental entities located in the state of Washington, including investments in state and municipal securities. Loans are generally limited by state banking regulations to 20% of the Bank’s shareholder’s equity, excluding accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). As of December 31, 2006 the Bank’s loans to borrowers in the hotel\motel industry totaled $27,117 or 6.38% of total loans. The Bank did not experience any loan losses to borrowers in the hotel/motel industry in 2006. Standby letters of credit were granted primarily to commercial borrowers. The Bank, as a matter of practice, generally does not extend credit to any single borrower or group of borrowers in excess of $8,000.

Note 14 - Stock Options

The Company’s three stock incentive plans provide for granting incentive stock options, as defined under current tax laws, to key personnel and under the plan adopted in 2000, options not qualified for favorable tax treatment and other types of stock based awards. Under the first plan, options are exercisable 90 days from the date of grant. These options terminate if not exercised within ten years from the date of grant. If after six years from the date of grant fewer than 20% of the options have been exercised, they will expire at a rate of 20% annually. Under the second plan, the options are exercisable one year from the date of grant, at a rate of 10% annually. Options terminate if not exercised when they become available, and no additional grants will be made under these two plans. The plan adopted in 2000, authorizes the issuance of up to a total of 1,000,000 shares, (282,400 shares are available for grant at December 31, 2006). Under the 2000 plan, options either become exercisable ratably over five years or vest fully five years from the date of grant. Under the 2000 plan, the Company may grant up to 150,000 options for its common stock to a single individual in a calendar year.

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the fair value of stock-based awards based on assumptions noted in the following table. Expected volatility is based on historical volatility of the Company’s common shares. The expected term of stock options granted is based on the simplified method, which is the simple average between contractual term and vesting period. The risk-free rate is based on the expected term of stock options and the applicable U.S. Treasury yield in effect at the time of grant.

Note 15 - Regulatory Matters

The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines on the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital adequacy guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank’s assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank’s capital classification is also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to total average assets (as defined), and minimum ratios of Tier 1 and total capital (as defined) to risk-weighted assets (as defined).

Note 15 - Regulatory Matters (concluded)

As of December 31, 2006, the most recent notification from the Bank’s regulator categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the table. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the institution’s category.

The Company and the Bank’s actual capital amounts and ratios are also presented in the table. Management believes, as of December 31, 2006, the Company and the Bank meet all capital requirements to which they are subject.

Note 17 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments (concluded)

The Bank assumes interest rate risk (the risk that general interest rate levels will change) as a result of its normal operations. As a result, the fair values of the Bank’s financial instruments will change when interest rate levels change and that change may either be favorable or unfavorable to the Bank. Management attempts to match maturities of assets and liabilities to the extent believed necessary to minimize interest rate risk. However, borrowers with fixed rate obligations are less likely to prepay in a rising rate environment and more likely to prepay in a falling rate environment. Conversely, depositors who are receiving fixed rates are more likely to withdraw funds before maturity in a rising rate environment and less likely to do so in a falling rate environment. Management monitors rates and maturities of assets and liabilities, and attempts to minimize interest rate risk by adjusting terms of new loans, and deposits and by investing in securities with terms that mitigate the Bank’s overall interest rate risk.
