RIVERVIEW BANCORP INC - Annual Report: 2005 (Form 10-K)


Vancouver, Washington

We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Riverview Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiary as of March 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended March 31, 2005. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits 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 the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Riverview Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiary as of March 31, 2005 and 2004, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended March 31, 2005, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of Riverview Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiary's internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2005, based on the criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) and our report dated June 10, 2005 expressed an unqualified opinion on management's assessment of the effectiveness of Riverview Bancorp, Inc.'s internal control over financial reporting and an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of Riverview Bancorp, Inc.'s internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Riverview Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiary

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows of Riverview Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiary (the "Company") for the year ended March 31, 2003. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements 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 the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, Riverview Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiary's results of operations and their cash flows for the year ended March 31, 2003, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors
Riverview Bancorp, Inc.
Vancouver, Washington

We have audited management's assessment, included in the accompanying Management's Report on Internal Controls over Financial Reporting, that Riverview Bancorp, Inc. maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2005, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Riverview Bancorp, Inc.'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 opinion.

A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed 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 generally 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 its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that 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 Riverview Bancorp, Inc. maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2005, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Also in our opinion, Riverview Bancorp, Inc. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2005, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated financial statements of Riverview Bancorp, Inc. and our report dated June 10, 2005 expressed an unqualified opinion.

FY 04-05 Management's Report on Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

The management of Riverview Bancorp, Inc. is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. This internal control system has been designed to provide reasonable assurance to the Company's management and board of directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of the company's published financial statements.

All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.

The management of Riverview Bancorp, Inc. has assessed the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2005. To make the assessment, we used the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting described in Internal Control - Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on our assessment, we believe that, as of March 31, 2005, the Company's internal control over financial reporting met those criteria.

RIVERVIEW BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS




1.     SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation - The consolidated financial statements of Riverview Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiary (the "Company") include all the accounts of Riverview Bancorp, Inc. and the consolidated accounts of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Riverview Community Bank (the "Bank"), the Bank's wholly-owned subsidiary, Riverview Services, Inc., and the Bank's majority owned subsidiary, Riverview Asset Management Corp. All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Nature of Operations - The Bank is a thirteen branch community-oriented financial institution operating in rural and suburban communities in southwest Washington State. The Bank is engaged primarily in the business of attracting deposits from the general public and using such funds, together with other borrowings, to invest in various consumer-based real estate loans, other consumer and commercial loans, investment securities and mortgage-backed securities.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("generally accepted accounting principles" or "GAAP"), requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of certain assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of related revenue and expense 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 loan losses and the valuation of mortgage servicing rights, goodwill, core deposit intangibles and deferred tax assets.

Loans - Loans are stated at the amount of unpaid principal, reduced by deferred loan origination fees and an allowance for loan losses. Interest on loans is accrued daily based on the principal amount outstanding.

Generally the accrual of interest on loans is discontinued when, in management's opinion, the borrower may be unable to meet payments as they become due or when they are past due 90 days as to either principal or interest, unless they are well secured and in the process of collection. When interest accrual is discontinued, all unpaid accrued interest is reversed against current income. If management determines that the ultimate collectibility of principal is in doubt, cash receipts on nonaccrual loans are applied to reduce the principal balance on a cash-basis method, until the loans qualify for return to accrual status. Loans are returned to accrual status when all principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.

Loan origination and commitment fees and certain direct loan origination costs are deferred and amortized as an adjustment of the yield of the related loan.

Securities - In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, investment securities are classified as held to maturity where the Company has the ability and positive intent to hold them to maturity. Investment securities held to maturity are carried at cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity. Unrealized losses on securities held to maturity or available for sale due to fluctuations in fair value are recognized when it is determined that an-other-than temporary decline in value has occurred. Investment securities bought and held principally for the purpose of sale in the near term are classified as trading securities. Securities that the Company intends to hold for an indefinite period, but not necessarily to maturity are classified as available for sale. Such securities may be sold to implement the Bank'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 related deferred tax effect, are reported as net amount in a separate component of shareholders' equity entitled "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.

Real Estate Owned ("REO") - REO consists of properties acquired through foreclosure. Specific charge-offs are taken based upon detailed analysis of the fair value of collateral underlying loans on which the Company is in the process of foreclosing. Such collateral is transferred into REO at the lower of recorded cost or fair value less estimated costs of disposal. Subsequently, properties are evaluated and for any additional declines in value, the Company writes down the REO directly and charges operations for the diminution in value. The amounts the Company will ultimately recover from REO may differ from the amounts used in arriving at the net carrying value of these assets because of future market factors

beyond the Company's control or because of changes in the Company's strategy for the sale of the property.

Allowance for Loan Losses - The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level sufficient to provide for probable loan losses based on evaluating known and inherent risks in the loan portfolio. The allowance is provided based upon management's continuing analysis of the pertinent factors underlying the quality of the loan portfolio. These factors include changes in the size and composition of the loan portfolio, delinquency levels, actual loan loss experience, current economic conditions, and detailed analysis of individual loans for which full collectibility may not be assured. The detailed analysis includes techniques to estimate the fair value of loan collateral and the existence of potential alternative sources of repayment. The allowance consists of specific, general and unallocated components. The specific component relates to loans that are classified as either doubtful, substandard or special mention. For such loans that are also classified as impaired, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows (or collateral value or observable market price) of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. The general component covers non-classified loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors. An unallocated component is maintained to cover uncertainties that could affect management's estimate of probable losses. The unallocated component of the allowance reflects the margin of imprecision inherent in the underlying assumptions used in the methodologies for estimating specific and general losses in the portfolio. The appropriate allowance level is estimated based upon factors and trends identified by management at the time the consolidated financial statements are prepared.

When available information confirms that specific loans or portions thereof are uncollectible, identified amounts are charged against the allowance for loan losses. The existence of some or all of the following criteria will generally confirm that a loss has been incurred: the loan is significantly delinquent and the borrower has not demonstrated the ability or intent to bring the loan current; the Bank has no recourse to the borrower, or if it does, the borrower has insufficient assets to pay the debt; the estimated fair value of the loan collateral is significantly below the current loan balance, and there is little or no near-term prospect for improvement.

In accordance with SFAS No. 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, and SFAS No. 118, An amendment of SFAS No. 114, a loan is considered impaired when it is probable that a creditor will be unable to collect all amounts (principal and interest) due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Large groups of smaller balance homogenous loans such as consumer secured loans, residential mortgage loans and consumer unsecured loans are collectively evaluated for potential loss. When a loan has been identified as being impaired, the amount of the impairment is measured by using discounted cash flows, except when, as a practical expedient, the current fair value of the collateral, reduced by costs to sell, is used. When the measurement of the impaired loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan (including accrued interest, net deferred loan fees or costs, and unamortized premium or discount), an impairment is recognized by creating or adjusting an allocation of the allowance for loan losses.

A provision for loan losses is charged against income and is added to the allowance for loan losses based on regular assessments of the loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses is allocated to certain loan categories based on the relative risk characteristics, asset classifications and actual loss experience of the loan portfolio. While management has allocated the allowance for loan losses to various loan portfolio segments, the allowance is general in nature and is available for the loan portfolio in its entirety.

The ultimate recovery of all loans is susceptible to future market factors beyond the Bank's control. These factors may result in losses or recoveries differing significantly from those provided in the consolidated financial statements. In addition, regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Bank's allowance for loan loses, and may require the Bank to make additions to the allowance based on their judgment about information available to them at the time of their examinations.

Federal Home Bank Loan Bank Stock - The Bank, as a member of Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB"), 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 value.

Allowance for Unfunded Loan Commitments - The allowance for unfunded loan commitments is maintained at a level believed by management to be sufficient to absorb estimated probable losses related to these unfunded credit facilities. The determination of the adequacy of the allowance is based on periodic evaluations of the unfunded credit facilities including an assessment of the probability of commitment usage, credit risk factors for loans outstanding to these same customers, and the terms and expiration dates of the unfunded credit facilities. The allowance for unfunded loan commitments is included in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets, with changes to the balance charged against non-interest expense.

Premises and Equipment - Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the term of the lease or the estimated useful life of the improvements, whichever is less. Gains or losses on dispositions are reflected in earnings. Depreciation is generally computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives as follows:




70

<PAGE>




Buildings and improvements

3 to 40 years

Furniture and equipment

3 to 20 years

Leasehold improvements

15 to 25 years

The assets are reviewed for impairment when events indicate their carrying value may not be recoverable. If management determines impairment exists the asset is reduced by an offsetting charge to expense.

Loans Held for Sale - The Company identifies loans held for sale at the time of origination and they are carried at the lower of aggregate cost or net realizable value. Market values are derived from available market quotations for comparable pools of mortgage loans. Adjustments for unrealized losses, if any, are charged to income.

Gains or losses on sales of loans held for sale are recognized at the time of the sale and are determined by the difference between the net sales proceeds and the allocated basis of the loans sold. The Company capitalizes mortgage servicing rights ("MSR's") acquired through either the purchase of MSR's, the sale of originated mortgage loans or the securitization of mortgage loans with servicing rights retained. Upon sale of mortgage loans held for sale the total cost of the mortgage loans designated for sale is allocated to mortgage loans with and without MSR's based on their relative fair values. The MSR's are included as a component of gain on sale of loans. The MSR's are amortized in proportion to and over the estimated period of the net servicing life. This amortization is reflected as a component of loan servicing income (expense).

Mortgage Servicing - Fees earned for servicing loans for the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC") are reported as income when the related mortgage loan payments are collected. Loan servicing costs are charged to expense as incurred.

MSR's are the rights to service loans. Loan servicing includes collecting payments, remitting funds to investors, insurance companies and tax authorities, collecting delinquent payments, and foreclosing on properties when necessary.

The Company records its originated mortgage servicing rights at fair values in accordance with SFAS No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities, which requires the Company to allocate the total cost of all mortgage loans sold to the MSR's and the loans (without the MSR's) based on their relative fair values if it is practicable to estimate those fair values. The Company stratifies its MSR's based on the predominant characteristics of the underlying financial assets including coupon interest rate and contractual maturity of the mortgage. An estimated fair value of MSR's is determined quarterly using a discounted cash flow model. The model estimates the present value of the future net cash flows of the servicing portfolio based on various factors, such as servicing costs, servicing income, expected prepayment speeds, discount rate, loan maturity and interest rate. The effect of changes in market interest rates on estimated rates of loan prepayments represents the predominant risk characteristic underlying the MSR's portfolio. The Company is amortizing the MSR's assets, which totaled $470,000 and $624,000 at March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, over the period of estimated net servicing income.

The MSR's are periodically reviewed for impairment based on their fair value. The fair value of the MSR's, for the purposes of impairment, is measured using a discounted cash flow analysis based on market adjusted discount rates, anticipated prepayment speeds, mortgage loan term and coupon rate. Market sources are used to determine prepayment speeds, ancillary income, servicing cost and pre-tax required yield. Impairment losses are recognized through a valuation allowance for each impaired stratum, with any associated provision recorded as a component of loan servicing income (expense).

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. We perform an annual review in the third quarter of each year, or more frequently if indicators of potential impairment exist, to determine if the recorded goodwill is impaired. If the fair value exceeds the carrying value, goodwill at the subsidiary is not considered impaired and no additional analysis is necessary. As of March 31, 2005, there have been no events or changes in circumstances that would indicate a potential impairment.

Core Deposit Intangible - The core deposit intangible is being amortized to non-interest expense using a straight line method and an accelerated method (based on expected attrition and cash flows of core deposit accounts purchased) over ten years. The straight line method of amortization is used for a 1995 acquisition and the accelerated method of amortization is being used for subsequent acquisitions.

Advertising and Marketing Expense - Costs incurred for advertising, merchandising, market research, community investment, travel and business development are classified as marketing expense and are expensed as incurred.

Income Taxes - Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method. Under this method, a deferred tax asset or liability is determined based on the enacted tax rates which will be in effect when the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and tax basis of existing assets and liabilities are expected to be reported in the Company's



71

<PAGE>




income tax returns. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established to reduce the net carrying amount of deferred tax assets if it is determined to be more likely than not, that all or some portion of the potential deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Company files a consolidated federal income tax return. The Bank provides for income taxes separately and remits to the Company amounts currently due.

Trust Assets - Assets held by Riverview Asset Management Corp. in a fiduciary or agency capacity for Trust customers are not included in the consolidated financial statements because such items are not assets of the Company. Assets totaling $174.8 million and $134.7 million were held in trust as of March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Earnings Per Share - The Company accounts for earnings per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share, which requires all companies whose capital structure includes dilutive potential common shares to make a dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share for all periods presented. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period, excluding restricted stock. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised and has been computed after giving consideration to the weighted average diluted effect of the Company's stock options and the shares issued under the Company's Management Recognition and Development Plan ("MRDP").

Cash and Cash Flows - Cash includes amounts on hand, due from banks and interest-earning deposits in other banks. Cash flows from interest-earning deposits in other banks and deposits are reported net.

Stock-Based Compensation - At March 31, 2005, the Company had two stock option plans, which are described further in Note 14. The Company accounts for these plans under the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations. Accordingly, no stock-based compensation cost is reflected in net income as all options granted under these plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.

SFAS No. 123 requires the disclosure of pro forma net income and earnings per share had the Company adopted the fair value method as of the beginning of fiscal 1996. Under SFAS No. 123, the fair value of stock-based awards to employees is calculated through the use of option pricing models, even though such models were developed to estimate the fair value of freely tradable, fully transferable options without vesting restrictions, which significantly differ from the Company's stock option awards. These models also require subjective assumptions, including future stock price volatility and expected time to exercise, which greatly affect the calculated values. The Company's calculations were made using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:

 

Risk Free
Interest Rate

The weighted average grant-date fair value of 2005, 2004 and 2003 awards was $5.93, $5.47 and $3.54, respectively. Only stock options are considered in this calculation and not MRDP shares. If the accounting provisions of the SFAS No. 123 had been adopted, the effect on 2005, 2004 and 2003 net income would have been reduced to the following pro forma amounts (dollars in thousands, except per share amounts):

Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP") - The Company sponsors a leveraged ESOP. The ESOP is accounted for in accordance with the AICPA Statement of Position ("SOP") 93-6, Employer's Accounting for Employee Stock Ownership Plans. Stock and cash dividends on allocated shares are recorded as a reduction of additional paid in capital and paid directly to plan participants or distributed directly to participants' accounts. As shares are released, compensation expense is recorded equal to the then current market price of the shares and the shares become available for earnings per share calculations. The Company records cash dividends on unallocated shares as a reduction of debt and accrued interest.

Reclassification - Certain 2004 and 2003 amounts have been reclassified in order to conform to the 2005 presentation, with no impact on net income or shareholders' equity as previously reported.

Business segments - The Company operates a single business segment. The financial information that is used by the chief operating decision maker in allocating resources and assessing performance is only provided for one reportable segment as of March 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003.

Acquisitions - Acquisitions are accounted for under the purchase method of accounting, which allocates costs to assets purchased and liabilities assumed at their estimated fair market values. The results of operations subsequent to the date of acquisition are included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Interest Rate Lock Derivatives

In accordance with SFAS No. 149, Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, expected interest rate lock commitments on mortgage loans that will be held for sale must be accounted for as derivatives and marked to market in accordance with SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. All other interest rate lock commitments are excluded from SFAS 133, pursuant to SFAS 149.

In October 2003, the FASB decided to add a project to its agenda that would clarify how fair value should be measured for interest rate lock derivatives. No timetable has been established yet for the completion of this project. In the meantime, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued guidance in Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 105 ("SAB 105"). SAB 105 requires that fair-value measurement include only differences between the guaranteed interest rate in the loan commitment and a market interest rate, excluding any expected future cash flows related to the customer relationship or loan servicing. Servicing assets are to be recognized only once the servicing asset has been contractually separated from the underlying loan by sale or securitization of the loan with servicing retained. The guidance in SAB 105 must be applied to interest rate locks initiated after March 31, 2004 and is to be applied prospectively. SAB 105 is not expected to have a material financial impact on the Company.

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R

On December 16, 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R, Share-Based Payment, which is an Amendment of FASB Statement Nos. 123 and 95. SFAS No. 123R changes, among other things, the manner in which shared-based compensation, such as stock options, will be accounted for by both public and non-public companies, and will be effective as of the beginning of the first annual reporting period that begins after June 15, 2005. For public companies, the cost of employee services received in exchange for equity instruments including options and restricted stock awards generally will be measured at fair value at the grant date. The grant date fair value will be estimated using option-pricing models adjusted for the unique characteristics of those options and instruments, unless observable market prices for the same or similar options are available. The cost will be recognized over the requisite service period, often the vesting period, and will be remeasured subsequently at each reporting date through settlement date. Management is evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 123R on the Company's financial statements. The financial effect would be an expense related to the unvested options at the date of implementation.

The changes in accounting will replace existing requirements under SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and will eliminate the ability to account for share-based compensation transactions using APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, which does not require companies to expense options if the exercise price is equal to the trading price at the date of grant. The accounting for similar transactions involving parties other than employees or the accounting for employee stock ownership plans that are subject to AICPA SOP 93-6, Employers' Accounting for Employee Stock Ownership Plans, would remain unchanged.

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 153

SFAS No. 153, Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets, an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29, required exchanges of nonmonetary assets be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged. The amendment eliminates the narrow exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a broader exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. A nonmonetary exchange has a commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. Previously, APB Opinion No. 29, "Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions," required that the accounting for an exchange of a productive asset for a similar productive asset should be based on the recorded amount of the asset relinquished with no gain recognition. SFAS 153 is effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginnings after June 15, 2005 and is to be applied prospectively. SFAS 153 is not expected to have a material financial impact on the Company.

Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 03-1

In March of 2004, the Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") reached consensus on the guidance provided in EITF Issue No. 03-1, The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and its Application to Certain Investments. Among other investments, this guidance is applicable to debt and equity securities that are within the scope of SFAS No. 114, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities. Paragraph 10 of EITF 03-1 specifies that an impairment would be considered other-than-temporary unless (a) the investor has the ability and intent to hold an investment for a reasonable period of time sufficient for the recovery of the fair value up to (or beyond) the cost of the investment and (b) evidence indicating that the cost of the investment is recoverable within a reasonable period of time outweighs the evidence to the contrary. A company's liquidity and capital requirements should be considered when assessing its intent and ability to hold an investment for a reasonable period of time that would allow the fair value of the investment to recover up to or beyond its cost. A pattern of selling investments prior to the forecasted fair value recovery may call into question a company's intent. In addition, the severity and duration of the impairment should also be considered when determining whether the impairment is other-than-temporary. This guidance was effective for reporting periods beginning after June 14, 2004 with the exception of paragraphs 10-20 of EITF 03-1, which will be deliberated further. This delay does not suspend the requirement to recognize other-than-temporary impairments as required by existing authoritative literature. The outcome of this deliberation may accelerate the recognition of losses from declines in value on debt securities due to interest rates; however, it is not anticipated to have a significant impact on shareholders' equity as changes in market value of available-for-sale securities are already included in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss).

Statement of Position 03-3

SOP 03-3, Accounting for Certain Loans or Debt Securities Acquired in a Transfer, addresses accounting for differences between contractual cash flows and cash flows expected to be collected from an investor's initial investment in loans or debt securities (loans) acquired in a transfer if those differences are attributable, at least in part, to credit quality. It includes such as loans acquired in purchase business combinations and applies to all nongovernmental entities, including not-for-profit organizations. SOP 03-3 does not apply to loans originated by the entity. SOP 03-3 limits the yield that may be accreted (accretable yield) to the excess of the investor's estimate of undiscounted expected principal, interest, and other cash flows (cash flows expected at acquisition to be collected) over the investor's initial investment in the loan. SOP 03-3 requires that the excess of contractual cash flows over cash flows expected to be collected (nonaccretable difference) not be recognized as an adjustment of yield loss accrual, or valuation allowance. SOP 03-3 prohibits investors from displaying accretable yield and nonaccretable difference in the balance sheet. Subsequent increases in cash flows expected to be collected generally should be recognized prospectively through adjustment of the loan's yield over its remaining life. Decreases in cash flows expected to be collected should be recognized as impairment. SOP 03-3 prohibits "carrying over" or creation of valuation allowances in the initial accounting of all loans acquired in a transfer that are within the scope of SOP 03-3. The prohibition of the valuation allowance carryover applies to the purchase of an individual loan, a pool of loans, a group of loans, and loans acquired in a purchase business combination. SOP 03-3 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2004 and is to be applied prospectively. SOP 03-3 is not expected to have a material financial impact on the Company.

2.     RESTRICTED ASSETS

Federal Reserve Board regulations require that the Bank maintain minimum reserve balances either on hand or on deposit with the Federal Reserve Bank, based on a percentage of deposits. The amounts of such balances for the years ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 were approximately $145,000 and $832,000, respectively.

3.     INTEREST RATE RISK MANAGEMENT

The Company is engaged principally in gathering deposits supplemented with Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") advances and providing first mortgage loans to individuals and commercial enterprises, commercial loans to businesses, and consumer loans to individuals. At March 31, 2005 and 2004, the asset portfolio consisted of fixed and variable rate interest-earning assets. Those assets were funded primarily with short-term deposits and advances from the FHLB that have market interest rates that vary over time. The shorter maturity of the interest-sensitive liabilities indicates that the Company could be exposed to interest rate risk because, generally in an increasing rate environment, interest-bearing liabilities will be repricing faster at higher interest rates than interest-earning assets, thereby reducing net interest income, as well as the market value of long-term assets. Management is aware of this interest rate risk and actively monitors such risk and manages it to the extent practicable.

Investment securities with an amortized cost of $9.0 million and $16.5 million and a fair value of $8.9 million and $16.3 million at March 31, 2005 and March 31, 2004, respectively, were pledged as collateral for advances at the FHLB. Investment securities with an amortized cost of $1.1 million and $500,000 and a fair value of $1.2 million and $504,000 at March 31, 2005 and March 31, 2004, respectively, were pledged as collateral for treasury tax and loan funds held by the Bank. At March 31, 2005 investment securities with an amortized cost of $5.0 million and a fair value of $5.0 million were pledged as collateral for the discount window at the Federal Reserve Bank.

In the third quarter of fiscal 2005, the Company recognized a pre-tax other-than-temporary impairment for investments in Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC") preferred stock and Federal National Mortgage Association ("FNMA") preferred stock that totaled $1.3 million. The Company accounts for these securities in accordance with SFAS No. 115. Under SFAS No. 115, if the decline in fair market value below cost is determined to be other-than-temporary, the unrealized loss will be realized as expense on the consolidated income statement. Based on a number of factors, including the magnitude of the drop in the market value below the Company's cost and the length of time the market value had been below cost, management concluded that the decline in value was other-than-temporary at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2005. Accordingly, the pre-tax other-than-temporary impairment was realized in the income statement, in the amount of $699,000 for FNMA preferred stock and $650,000 FHLMC preferred stock. A corresponding reduction in unrealized losses in shareholders' equity was realized in fiscal 2005 in the amount of $461,000 for FNMA preferred stock and $429,000 for FHLMC preferred stock.

The Company accounts for these securities in accordance with SFAS No. 115. Under SFAS No. 115, if the decline in fair market value below cost is determined to be other than temporary, the unrealized loss will be realized as expense on the consolidated income statement. Based on a number of factors, including the magnitude of the drop in the market value below the Company's cost and the length of time the market value had been below cost, management concluded that the decline in value was other than temporary at the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003. Accordingly, the pre-tax other-than-temporary impairment was realized in the income statement, in the amount of $700,000 for FNMA preferred stock and $1.6 million FHLMC preferred stock. A corresponding reduction in unrealized losses in shareholders' equity was realized in fiscal 2003 in the amount of $462,000 for FNMA preferred stock and $1.1 million for FHLMC preferred stock.

12.   FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK ADVANCES


At March 31, 2005, advances from FHLB, totaled $40.0 million with a weighted average interest rate of 5.05%. The fixed rate borrowings of $35.0 million had fixed interest rates ranging from 4.65% to 6.38%. The remaining $5.0 million adjustable rate advance had a weighted average interest rate of 2.67%, which is based on three month London Interbank Offered Rate Index ("LIBOR") plus 11 basis points as quoted by the FHLB. The weighted average interest rate for fixed and adjustable rate advances was 5.00%, 4.96% and 5.53% for the years ended March 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

The Bank has a credit line with the FHLB equal to 30% of total assets, limited by available collateral. At March 31, 2005, based on collateral values, the Bank had additional borrowing commitments available of $21.3 million from the FHLB.

FHLB advances are collateralized as provided for in the Advance, Pledge and Security Agreements with the FHLB by certain investment and mortgage-backed securities, FHLB stock owned by the Bank, deposits with the FHLB, and certain mortgages on deeds of trust securing such properties as provided in the agreements with the FHLB. At March 31, 2005, loans carried at $50.8 million and investments and mortgage-backed securities carried at $20.3 million were pledged as collateral to the FHLB.

Payments required to service the Bank's FHLB advances during the next five years ended March 31 are as follows:
2006 - $15.0 million; 2007 - $20.0 million; and 2008 - $5.0 million.

In addition, the Bank has a Fed Funds borrowing facility with Pacific Coast Bankers' Bank with a guideline limit of $10 million through June 30, 2005. The facility may be reduced or withdrawn at any time. As of March 31, 2005 the Bank did not have any outstanding advances on this facility.

The Bank's retained earnings at March 31, 2005 and 2004 include base year bad debt reserves which amounted to approximately $2.2 million, for which no federal income tax liability has been recognized. The amount of unrecognized deferred tax liability at March 31, 2005 and 2004 is approximately $760,000. This represents the balance of bad debt reserves created for tax purposes as of December 31, 1987. These amounts are subject to recapture in the unlikely event that the Company's banking subsidiaries (1) make distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits, as calculated for federal tax purposes, (2) redeem their stock, or (3) liquidate. Management does not expect this temporary difference to reverse in the foreseeable future.

The Company also has net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $2.3 million for federal tax purposes in connection with the acquisition of Today's Bancorp, Inc. Utilization of the net operating losses, which begin to expire at various times starting in 2019, is subject to certain limitations under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code.

The tax effects of certain tax benefits related to stock options are recorded directly to shareholders' equity.

No valuation allowance for deferred tax assets was deemed necessary at March 31, 2005 or 2004 based upon the Company's anticipated future ability to generate taxable income from operations.

14.    EMPLOYEE BENEFITS PLANS

Retirement Plan - The Riverview Bancorp, Inc. Employees' Savings and Profit Sharing Plan (the "Plan") is a defined contribution profit-sharing plan incorporating the provisions of Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. The plan covers all employees with at least six months and 500 hours of service who are over the age of 18. The Company matches the employee's elective contribution up to 4% of the employee's compensation. Company expenses related to the Plan for the years ended March 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 were $154,000, $93,000 and $88,000, respectively.

Directors Deferred Compensation Plan - Directors may elect to defer their monthly directors' fees until retirement with no income tax payable by the director until retirement benefits are received. Executive and Senior Vice Presidents of the Company may also defer salary into this plan. This alternative is made available to them through a nonqualified deferred compensation plan. The Company accrues annual interest on the unfunded liability under the Directors Deferred Compensation Plan based upon a formula relating to gross revenues, which amounted to 6.04%, 7.12%, and 7.82% for the years ended March 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The estimated liability under the plan is accrued as earned by the participant. At March 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company's aggregate liability under the plan was $1.6 million and $1.4 million, respectively.

Bonus Programs - The Company maintains a bonus program for senior management and certain key individuals. The senior management bonus represents approximately 5% of fiscal year profits, assuming profit goals are attained, and is divided among senior management members in proportion to their salaries. The Company has an incentive program for branch managers that is paid to the managers based on the attainment of certain goals. The Company expensed $564,000, $482,000, $414,000 in bonuses during the years ended March 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

Management Recognition and Development Plan - On July 23, 1998, shareholders of the Company approved the adoption of the MRDP for the benefit of officers, employees and non-employee directors of the Company.

The objective of the MRDP is to retain personnel of experience and ability in key positions by providing them with a proprietary interest in the Company. The Company reserved 142,830 shares of common stock to be issued under the MRDP which are authorized but unissued shares. Awards under the MRDP were made in the form of restricted shares of common stock that are subject to restrictions on transfer of ownership. Compensation expense in the amount of the fair value of the common stock at the date of the grant to the plan participant was recognized over a five-year vesting period, with 20% vesting immediately upon grant. At March 31, 2005, all shares have been issued and fully vested. Compensation expense of none, $15,000 and $203,000 was recognized for the years ended March 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

Stock Option Plans - In July 1998, shareholders of the Company approved the adoption of the 1998 Stock Option Plan ("1998 Plan"). The 1998 Plan was effective October 1, 1998 and will expire on the tenth anniversary of the effective date, unless terminated sooner by the Board. Under the 1998 Plan, the Company may grant both incentive and non-qualified stock options up to 357,075 shares of its common stock to officers, directors and employees. The exercise price of each option granted under the 1998 Plan equals the fair market value of the Company's stock on the date of grant with a maximum term of ten years and options vest over five years. At March 31, 2005, there were options for 15,483 shares available for grant under the 1998 plan.

In July 2003, shareholders of the Company approved the adoption of the 2003 Stock Option Plan ("2003 Plan"). The 2003 Plan was effective July 2003 and will expire on the tenth anniversary of the effective date, unless terminated sooner by the Board. Under the 2003 Plan, the Company may grant both incentive and non-qualified stock options up to 229,277 shares of its common stock to officers, directors and employees. The exercise price of each option granted under the 2003 Plan equals the fair market value of the Company's stock on the date of grant with a maximum term of ten years from date of grant and options vest over five years. At March 31, 2005, no options had been granted under the 2003 plan.

16.    SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY AND REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS


The Company's Board of Directors authorized 250,000 shares of serial preferred stock as part of the Conversion and Reorganization completed on September 30, 1997. No preferred shares were issued or outstanding at March 31, 2005 or 2004.

The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS"). 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 Bank's financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital 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 amounts and classification are 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 Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of total and Tier I capital to risk-weighted assets, of core capital to total assets and tangible capital to tangible assets (set forth in the table below). Management believes the Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject as of March 31, 2005.

As of March 31, 2005, the most recent notification from the OTS 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 capital and Tier I capital to risk weighted assets, core capital to total assets and tangible capital to tangible assets (set forth in the table below). There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Company's category.

The Bank's actual and required minimum capital amounts and ratios are presented in the following table (dollars in thousands):

At periodic intervals, the OTS and the FDIC routinely examine the Company's financial statements as part of their legally prescribed oversight of the savings and loan industry. Based on their examinations, these regulators can direct that the Company's financial statements be adjusted in accordance with their findings. A future examination by the OTS or the FDIC could include a review of certain transactions or other amounts reported in the Company's 2005 financial statements. In view of the uncertain regulatory environment in which the Company operates, the extent, if any, to which a forthcoming regulatory examination may ultimately result in adjustments to the 2005 financial statements cannot presently be determined.

17.    EARNINGS PER SHARE


Basic earning per share ("EPS") is computed by dividing net income applicable to common stock by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, without considering any dilutive items. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income applicable to common stock by the weighted average number of common shares and common stock equivalents for items that are dilutive, net of shares assumed to be repurchased using the treasury stock method at the average share price for the Company's common stock during the period. Common stock equivalents arise from assumed conversion of outstanding stock options and from assumed vesting of shares awarded but not released under the Company's MRDP plan. ESOP shares are not considered outstanding for earnings per share purposes until they are committed to be released.

18.    FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS


The following disclosure of the estimated fair value of financial instruments is made in accordance with the requirements of SFAS No. 107, Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments. The Company, using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies, has determined the estimated fair value amounts. However, considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data in the development of the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could realize in a current market exchange. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

Fair value estimates, methods and assumptions are set forth below.

Investments and Mortgage-Backed Securities - Fair values were based on quoted market rates and dealer quotes.

Loans Receivable and Loans Held for Sale - Loans were priced using a discounted cash flow method. The discount rate used was the rate currently offered on similar products, risk adjusted for credit concerns or dissimilar characteristics. For variable rate loans that reprice frequently and have no significant change in credit, fair values are based on carrying values.

Mortgage Servicing Rights- The fair value of mortgage servicing rights was determined using the Company's model, which incorporates the expected life of the loans, estimated cost to service the loans, servicing fees received and other factors. The Company calculates MSR's fair value by stratifying MSR's based on the predominant risk characteristics that include the underlying loan's interest rate, cash flows of the loan, origination date and term. Key economic assumptions that vary due to changes in market interest rates are used to determine the fair value of the MSR's and include expected prepayment speeds, which impact the average life of the portfolio, annual service cost, annual ancillary income and the discount rate used in valuing the cash flows. At March 31, 2005, the MSR's fair value totaled $1.1 million, which was estimated using a range of prepayment speed assumptions (The Bond Market Association's standard prepayment) values that ranged from 120 to 940.

Deposits - The fair value of time deposits with no stated maturity such as non-interest-bearing demand deposits, savings, NOW accounts, and money market and checking accounts was equal to the amount payable on demand. The fair value of time deposits with stated maturity was based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate was estimated using rates currently available in the local market.

Federal Home Loan Bank Advances - The fair value for FHLB advances was based on the discounted cash flow method. The discount rate was estimated using rates currently available from the FHLB.



91

<PAGE>




Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments - The estimated fair value of loan commitments approximates fees recorded associated with such commitments as of March 31, 2005 and 2004. Since the majority of the Bank's off-balance-sheet instruments consist of non-fee producing, variable rate commitments, the Bank has determined they do not have a distinguishable fair value.

Other - The carrying value of other financial instruments was determined to be a reasonable estimate of their fair value.

Limitations - The fair value estimates presented herein were based on pertinent information available to management as of March 31, 2005 and 2004. Although management was not aware of any factors that would significantly affect the estimated fair value amounts, such amounts have not been comprehensively revalued for purposes of these financial statements on those dates and, therefore, current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein.

Fair value estimates were based on existing financial instruments without attempting to estimate the value of anticipated future business. The fair value has not been estimated for assets and liabilities that were not considered financial instruments.


19.    COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments generally include commitments to originate mortgage, commercial and consumer loans. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheet. The Company's maximum exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the borrower is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. Commitments to extend credit are conditional, and are honored for up to 45 days subject to the Company's usual terms and conditions. Collateral is not required to support commitments.

At March 31, 2005, the Company had commitments to originate fixed rate mortgage loans of $439,000 at interest rates ranging from 5.4% to 7.9%. At March 31, 2005, commitments to originate adjustable rate mortgage loans were $6.6 million at an average interest rate of 6.99%. Undisbursed balance of mortgage loans closed was $37.4 million at March 31, 2005. Commitments to originate consumer loans totaled $814,000 and unused lines of consumer credit totaled $20.2 million at March 31, 2005. Commercial real estate loan commitments to originate loans totaled $11.4 million. Undisbursed balance of commercial real estate mortgage loans closed was $21.5 million at March 31, 2005. Commercial loan commitments totaled $200,000 and unused commercial lines of credit totaled $36.0 million.

The allowance for unfunded loan commitments was $253,000 at March 31, 2005.

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 used to support public and private borrowing arrangements. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. Collateral held varies as specified above, and is required in instances where the Bank deems necessary. At March 31, 2005 and 2004, standby letters of credit totaled $346,000 and $173,000, respectively.

Most of the Bank's business activity is with customers located in the states of Washington and Oregon. Investments in state and municipal securities involve government entities primarily within the state of Washington. Loans are generally limited, by federal and state banking regulation, to 10% of the Bank's shareholder's equity, excluding accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). As of March 31, 2005 and 2004, the Bank had no individual industry concentrations.

At March 31, 2005, the Company had firm commitments to sell $510,000 of residential loans to FHLMC. These agreements are short term fixed rate commitments and no material gain or loss is likely.

In connection with certain asset sales, the Bank typically makes representation and warranties about the underlying assets conforming to specified guidelines. If the underlying assets do not conform to the specifications, the Bank may have an obligation to repurchase the assets or indemnify the purchaser against loss. As of March 31, 2005, loans under warranty totaled $119.7 million, which substantially represents the unpaid principal balance of the Company's loans serviced for other portfolio. The Bank believes that the potential for loss under these arrangements is remote. Accordingly, no contingent liability is recorded in the financial statements.

The Company is party to litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, these actions will not have a material adverse effect, if any, on the Company's financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.

The Bank has entered into employment contracts with certain key employees which provide for contingent payment subject to future events.

20.    PROPOSED ACQUISITION


On November 9, 2004, the Company announced the signing of a definitive agreement for the acquisition of American Pacific Bank by merger with the Bank. Upon completion of the merger, shareholders of American Pacific Bank will be entitled to receive either cash or shares of the Company's common stock in exchange for each share of American Pacific Bank common stock. The aggregate consideration payable to stockholders of American Pacific Bank will be composed of approximately $17.6 million in cash (including cash paid to stock option holders) and 788,593 shares of the Company's common stock. These amounts are subject to adjustment for any American Pacific Bank stock options that are exercised prior to the closing of the merger. The transaction is intended to qualify as a tax-free exchange for federal income tax purposes. As a result, the shares of the Company's common stock issued in exchange for American Pacific Bank common stock, will be received by shareholders on a tax-free basis. The transaction will increase the Company's assets from $573 million as of March 31, 2005, to approximately $700 million, and will increase its number of banking offices from 14 to 17.

The merger has been unanimously approved by the directors of both companies, and the shareholders of American Pacific Bank. The merger was completed in the second calendar quarter of 2005.
