PACIFIC FINANCIAL CORPORATION
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Pacific Financial Corporation (“Pacific” or the “Company”) in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2006, are not necessarily indicative of the results anticipated for the year ending December 31, 2006. Certain information and footnote disclosures included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005, have been condensed or omitted from this report. Accordingly, these statements should be read with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

All dollar amounts in tables, except earnings per share tables and per share information, are stated in thousands.

Note 2 – Earnings per Share

The following table illustrates the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share.

As of June 30, 2006 and 2005, there were 322,600 and 248,600 shares, respectively, subject to outstanding options to acquire common stock with exercises prices in excess of the current market value. These shares are not included in the table above, as exercise of these options would be dilutive to shareholders.

For all the above investment securities, the unrealized losses are generally due to changes in interest rates and, as such, are considered to be temporary by management. The Company has evaluated the securities shown above and anticipates full recovery of amortized cost with respect to these securities at maturity or sooner in the event of a more favorable market interest rate environment. 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 or net asset value within a reasonable period of time. We also consider that the contractual cash flow of certain mortgage backed securities are guaranteed by an agency of the United States Government.

Note 5 – 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 accounts. It also provides for expense recognition for both new and existing unvested stock-based awards. Stock based compensation expense during the six months ended June 30, 2006 was $10,000 ($7,000 net of tax). Future compensation expense for unvested awards outstanding as of June 30, 2006 is estimated to be $80,000 recognized over a weighted average period of 2.2 years. Cash received from the exercise of stock options during the six months ended June 30, 2006 totaled $10,000.

The fair value of stock options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model 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 6 – Operating Segments

The Company has operating segments which have been aggregated into one reporting segment as provided in SFAS No. 131 “Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information.”

Note 7 – Commitments and Contingencies

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 position of the Company.

Note 8 – Junior Subordinated Debentures

In June 2006, the Company issued $8,248,000 of junior subordinated debentures to PFC Statutory Trust II, a Delaware trust that was formed for the exclusive purpose of issuing trust preferred securities. The trust purchased the debentures with the proceeds of the sale of its common securities to the Company for $248,000 and trust preferred securities to an institutional investor for $8,000,000. The subordinated debentures and trust preferred securities mature on July 7, 2036 and are redeemable at the Company’s option on or after July 7, 2011. The debentures bear interest, payable quarterly, at a variable rate, reset quarterly, equal to 160 basis points over the three month London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR). The Company has unconditionally guaranteed distributions on, and payments on liquidation and redemption of, the trust preferred securities.

Note 9 – Expansion of Banking Operations

On June 23, 2006, the registrant’s wholly owned subsidiary, The Bank of the Pacific, completed a deposit transfer and assumption transaction with an Oregon-based bank for a $1,267,500 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.

Overview

Pacific Financial Corporation is a bank holding company headquartered in Aberdeen, Washington. The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, The Bank of the Pacific (the “Bank”), is a state chartered bank, also located in Washington. The Company also has two wholly-owned subsidiary trusts known as PFC Statutory Trust I and II (the “Trusts”) that were formed December 2005 and May 2006, respectively, in connection with the issuance of pooled trust preferred securities. The Company was incorporated in the State of Washington on February 12, 1997, pursuant to a holding company reorganization of the Bank.

The Company conducts its banking business through the Bank, which operates 18 branches located in communities in Grays Harbor, Pacific, Whatcom, Skagit and Wahkiakum counties in the state of Washington and one loan production office in Clatsop County, Oregon. During the three months ended June 30, 2006, the Bank received regulatory approval to establish its first full-service branch in Oregon, which is anticipated to open August 2006. In addition, the Bank has entered into a contract to construct a new branch in the Barkley district of Bellingham, Washington. The Bank provides loan and deposit services to customers, who are predominantly small and middle-market businesses and middle-income individuals.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (FIN 48). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN 48 will be effective for us beginning April 1, 2007. We have not yet evaluated the effect FIN 48 will have on our financial statements and related disclosures.

Results of Operations

Net income. For the three months ended June 30, 2006, Pacific’s net income was $1,745,000 compared to $1,496,000 for the same period in 2005. For the six months ended June 30, 2006, net income was $3,335,000 compared to $2,786,000 for the same period in 2005. Increases in net income for the three and six month periods resulted from an increase in net interest income for the periods, as described below, and no provision for credit loss being required in the periods, as well as increases in non-interest income arising from greater gains on sales of loans, as compared to the same periods in 2005. These increases were partially offset by increased non-interest expense for the periods arising out of greater staffing and benefit expenses, increased professional fees, and increased occupancy expense.

Net interest income. Net interest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 increased $386,000, or 7.00%, and $892,000, or 8.38%, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2005. The increase is primarily related to the increase in interest income as a result of the rise in short-term interest rates and increased balances of interest earning assets. See the table on the following page and the accompanying discussion for further information on interest income and expense. The net interest margin (net interest income divided by average earning assets) decreased to 5.08% for the six months ended June 30, 2006 from 5.17% for the same period last year. The decline in net interest margin is due primarily to an increase in cost of funds from 2.09% to 2.94% for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2006, respectively. We have, however, been able to maintain a stable net interest margin in part due to our continued focus on variable rate loans and fixed rate loan terms of not longer than three years.

Interest and dividend income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, increased $1,366,000, or 18.47%, and $2,846,000, or 20.27%, respectively compared to the same periods in 2005. Loans averaged $408.9 million with an average yield of 7.83% for the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to average loans of $354.9 million with an average yield of 7.32% for the same period in 2005. The Company continues to experience loan growth with strong loan demand during the current period.

Interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 increased $980,000, or 52.0%, and $1,954,000, or 57.4%, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2005. The increase is primarily attributable to increased deposit balances and increased rates paid on certain deposits, as well as expense related to Pacific’s junior subordinated debentures. Average interest-bearing deposit balances for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 were $329.4 million and $299.9 million, respectively, with an average cost of 2.79% and 1.88%, respectively.

Average secured borrowings for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 were $1,944,000 and $4,704,000, respectively. The secured borrowings 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%. Average long and short term borrowings for the six months ended June 30, 2006 were $27,246,000 with an average cost of 3.82% compared to $21,454,000 with an average cost of 3.13% for the same period in 2005.

Provision and allowance 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 credit 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 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 at June 30, 2006.

Periodic provisions for credit 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. For additional information, please see the discussion under the heading “Critical Accounting Policy” in Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, no loan loss provision was required for probable credit losses, compared to $300,000 and $600,000 for the same periods in 2005. For the three months ended June 30, 2006, net recoveries were $31,000 compared to $2,000 of net charge-offs for the same period in 2005. For the six months ended June 30, 2006, net charge-offs were $63,000 compared to $6,000 of net recoveries for the same period in 2005, and compared to $40,000 in net charge-offs during the twelve months ended December 31, 2005. The ratio of net charge-offs to average loans outstanding for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 was .01% and .00%, respectively, and .02% and .00% for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

16


At June 30, 2006, the allowance for credit losses stood at $5,233,000 compared to $5,296,000 at December 31, 2005, and $4,842,000 at June 30, 2005. The increase over June 30, 2005 was attributable to the additions in loan loss provision that was allocated to the allowance for credit losses as a result of continued growth in the loan portfolio during 2005. The slight decrease in 2006 is related primarily to one charge-off amount totaling $100,000. The ratio of the allowance to total loans outstanding including loans held for sale was 1.24%, 1.29% and 1.31%, respectively, at June 30, 2006, December 31, 2005, and June 30, 2005.

Non-performing assets and foreclosed real estate owned. Non-performing assets totaled $6,716,000 at June 30, 2006. This represents 1.59% of total loans including loans held for sale, compared to $6,769,000 or 1.66% at December 31, 2005, and $8,327,000 or 2.25% at June 30, 2005. Non-accrual loans at June 30, 2006 totaled $5,966,000. This relates primarily to one borrower involved in the forest products industry. Although the borrower is continuing operations and making principal and interest payments as agreed, the deteriorating financial condition of the borrower creates the potential the Company may not be able to collect all principal and interest according to the terms of the loan. Subsequent to June 30, 2006, Pacific began recognizing interest income on a cash basis for this borrower due to improved financial operations and reduction of principal balances to the estimated collateral value. Of the non-accrual loans outstanding, $3,452,000 are guaranteed by the United States Department of Agriculture representing 57.9% of non-accrual loans outstanding. Based on current analysis, management has made provisions in the loan loss reserves for potential losses associated with non-accrual loans. Foreclosed real estate consists of one property secured by real estate.

Non-interest income and expense. Non-interest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 increased $55,000 and $115,000, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2005. The primary reason for the increase was gain on sale of loans. Gain on sale of loans totaled $506,000 and $455,000, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 and totaled $886,000 and $734,000, respectively for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005. This increase is attributable to increased pricing of loans sold in the secondary market over the prior year. Commitment to sell and sale price are established at the time of origination of loans to limit any potential price risk. Management expects flat growth in mortgage banking activity for the remainder of the year. Additionally, during the six months ended June 30, 2005, the Company recognized a gain on sale of fixed assets totaling $80,000.

Non-interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 increased $365,000 and $801,000, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2005. Increased staffing, benefits, and professional fees were the major contributing factors to increased non-interest expense, as well as other operating expenses incurred in the opening of the Raymond and Anacortes, Washington branches in January and May 2006. Full time equivalent employees at June 30, 2006 were 196 compared to 171 at June 30, 2005.

Income taxes. The federal income tax provision for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 was $777,000 and $1,452,000, respectively, an increase of $127,000 and $257,000 compared to the same periods in 2005. The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 was 30.8% and 30.3%.

Financial Condition

Assets. Total assets were $519,845,000 at June 30, 2006, an increase of $30,436,000, or 6.2%, over year-end 2005. Loans, including loans held for sale, were $422,566,000 at June 30, 2006, an increase of $13,585,000, or 3.3%, over year-end 2005. The increase in the portfolio was primarily a result of increases in commercial loans and real estate construction loans. Total deposits were $429,620,000 at June 30, 2006, an increase of $29,894,000, or 7.5%, compared to December 31, 2005. The $29,894,000 increase is comprised of a $4,412,000 decrease in non-interest bearing accounts, $203,000 increase in NOW accounts, $8,899,000 increase in money market accounts, $9,244,000 decrease in savings accounts and a $34,448,000 increase in certificates of deposits.

Liquidity.     Adequate liquidity is available to accommodate fluctuations in deposit levels, fund operations, and provide for customer credit needs and meet obligations and commitments on a timely basis. The Bank’s primary sources of funds are customer deposits, maturities of investment securities, sales of securities available for sale, loan sales, loan repayments, net income and other borrowings. When necessary, liquidity can be increased by taking advances available from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Seattle. The Bank maintains credit facilities with correspondent banks totaling $37,000,000, none of which were used at June 30, 2006. In addition, the Bank has a credit line with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Seattle for up to 20% of assets, $22,500,000 of which was used at June 30, 2006. For its funds, the Company relies on dividends from the Bank, proceeds from the exercise of stock options, and proceeds from the issuance of trust preferred securities, all of which are used for various corporate purposes.

During the three months ended June 30, 2006, Pacific completed a private placement of $8 million of trust preferred securities through PFC Statutory Trust II. The trust used the proceeds from the offering, combined with the proceeds from the sale of common securities to the Company, to purchase $8,248,000 of Junior Subordinated Debentures of the Company (the “Debentures”). The Debentures bear interest, payable quarterly, at a variable rate, reset quarterly, equal to 160 basis points over the three month London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR). The trust preferred securities and Debentures will mature on

July 7, 2036. For additional information regarding trust preferred securities, see Pacific’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005, under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations –Liquidity”.

Capital.     Total shareholders’ equity was $49,958,000 at June 30, 2006, an increase of $3,358,000, or 7.2%, compared to December 31, 2005. The Federal Reserve and the Federal Deposit Insurance Commission have established minimum guidelines that mandate risk-based capital requirements for bank holding companies and member banks. Under the guidelines, risk percentages are assigned to various categories of assets and off-balance sheet items to calculate a risk-adjusted capital ratio. Regulatory minimum risk-based capital guidelines require Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 4% and total capital to risk-weighted assets of 8%. The Company’s Tier 1 and Total Risk Based Capital ratios were 11.55% and 12.75%, respectively, at June 30, 2006 compared with 9.44% and 10.69%, respectively at December 31, 2005.

Additionally, to qualify as “well-capitalized”, the Bank must have a Tier 1 risk based capital ratio of at least 6%, total risk based capital of at least 10%, and a leverage ratio of a least 5%. The Bank qualified as “well-capitalized” at June 30, 2006.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Interest rate, credit, and operations risks are the most significant market risks which affect the Company’s performance. The Company relies on loan review, prudent loan underwriting standards and an adequate allowance for possible credit losses to mitigate credit risk.

An asset/liability management simulation model is used to measure interest rate risk. The model produces regulatory oriented measurements of interest rate risk exposure. The model quantifies interest rate risk by simulating forecasted net interest income over a 12-month time period under various interest rate scenarios, as well as monitoring the change in the present value of equity under the same rate scenarios. The present value of equity is defined as the difference between the market value of assets less current liabilities. By measuring the change in the present value of equity under various rate scenarios, management is able to identify interest rate risk that may not be evident from changes in forecasted net interest income.

The Company is currently asset sensitive, meaning that interest earning assets mature or re-price more quickly than interest-bearing liabilities in a given period. Therefore, a significant increase in market rates of interest could improve net interest income. Conversely, a decreasing rate environment may adversely affect net interest income.

It should be noted that the simulation model does not take into account future management actions that could be undertaken should actual market rates change during the year. Also, the model simulation results are not exact measures of the Company’s actual interest rate risk. They are rather only indicators of rate risk exposure, based on assumptions produced in a simplified modeling environment designed to heighten sensitivity to changes in interest rates. The rate risk exposure results of the simulation model typically are greater than the Company’s actual rate risk. That is due to the conservative modeling environment, which generally depicts a worst-case situation. Management has assessed the results of the simulation reports as of June 30, 2006, and believes that there has been no material change since December 31, 2005.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information the Company must disclose in its reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported on a timely basis. 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.

No change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting occurred during our last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
