NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization-The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of PremierWest Bancorp and its wholly-owned subsidiary
PremierWest Bank (collectively, PremierWest, the Company or the Bank). PremierWest Banks wholly-owned subsidiaries include PremierWest Investment Services, Inc., Premier Finance Company, and Blue Star
Properties, Inc.

The Bank conducts a general commercial banking business operating in Jackson, Josephine, Douglas, and Klamath counties of southern Oregon, Deschutes County in central Oregon and Siskiyou, Shasta, Tehama, Butte, Placer and
Yolo counties of northern California . Its activities include the usual lending and deposit functions of a commercial bank including commercial, real estate, installment, and mortgage loans; checking, money market, savings and time deposit accounts;
mortgage loan brokerage services; automated teller machines (ATMs); and safe deposit facilities.

PremierWest Banks two principal operating subsidiaries, Premier Finance Company and PremierWest Investment Services, Inc. provide financial services that compliment and support the traditional commercial banking
operations of the Bank. Premier Finance Company is engaged in the business of consumer lending and operates from independent office locations or from within PremierWest Bank branch offices in Portland, Medford, Grants Pass, Roseburg and Klamath
Falls, Oregon and in Yreka and Redding, California. PremierWest Investment Services, Inc. functions under an arrangement with Linsco/Private Ledger, an independent broker/dealer.  Operating throughout the Banks market area PremierWest
Investment Services, Inc. offers brokerage services for financial and investment products including stocks, bonds, mutual funds and annuities.

Basis of presentationThe consolidated financial statements include the accounts of PremierWest Bancorp
and its wholly owned subsidiary. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The interim consolidated financial statements are not audited, but include all adjustments that management considers necessary for a fair presentation of consolidated financial condition and results of operations for the
interim periods presented.

The balance sheet data as of December 31, 2005 was derived from audited financial statements and does not include all disclosures contained in the 2005 Annual Report to Shareholders. The interim consolidated financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's 2005 consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, included in the 2005 Annual Report to Shareholders as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission under Form 10-K.
The reader should keep in mind that the results of operations for the interim periods shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of results for any future interim periods or the entire fiscal year.

Method of accounting and use of estimates-The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America and prevailing practices within the banking industry.  The Company utilizes the accrual method of accounting, which recognizes income when earned and expenses when incurred.

The preparation of consolidated 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, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

Elements of our accounting policies are inherently subject to estimation techniques, valuation assumptions and other subjective assessments. In particular, management has identified certain policies that, due to the
judgments, estimates and assumptions inherent in those policies, are critical to an understanding of our consolidated financial statements.  These policies relate primarily to the determination of our allowance for loan losses and the valuation of
goodwill and intangible assets.

There are other complex accounting standards that require the Company to employ significant judgment in interpreting and applying certain of the principles prescribed by those standards. These judgments include the
determination of whether a financial instrument or other contract meets the definition of a derivative and qualifies for accounting in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities. These judgments also include significant estimates and assumptions necessary to determine the disclosure requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R, Share Based Payments. These
policies and judgments, estimates and assumptions are described in greater detail in the Notes to the consolidated financial statements included in our 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K.  We believe that the judgments, estimates and assumptions used
in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements are appropriate given the factual circumstances at the time. However, given the sensitivity of our consolidated financial statements to these critical accounting policies, the use of other
judgments, estimates and assumptions could result in material differences in our results of operations or financial condition.

Stock dividends On February 27, 2006, the Company declared a 5% stock dividend payable June 29, 2006 to our shareholders of record on June 1, 2006.  OnMarch 22, 2005, the Company declared a 5% stock dividend payable on June 27, 2005 to our shareholders of record on June 1, 2005.  Share and per share data in the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been retroactively
restated to reflect all stock dividends.

NOTE 2  STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

At June 30, 2006, PremierWest Bancorp had two outstanding stock option plans  the 1992 Stock Option Plan (1992 Plan) and the 2002 Stock Incentive Plan (2002 Plan) plan. The 2002 Plan superseded
the 1992 Plan; no additional grants may be made under the 1992 Plan. The 2002 Plan was initially established May 2002 and was approved by shareholders. The plan was subsequently amended and restated to allow for the issuance of restricted stock
grants in addition to stock options. The amended and restated 2002 Plan was approved by shareholders in May 2005 and allows for the issuance of up to 954,811 shares of stock awards of which a total of 345,467 shares were available for issuance as
either stock options or restricted stock grants as of June 30, 2006. As of June 30, 2006, there were no restricted stock grants outstanding. The 2002 Plan allows for stock options to be granted at an exercise price of not less than the fair market
value of PremierWest Bancorp stock on the date of issuance, for a term not to exceed ten years. The Compensation Committee establishes the vesting schedule for each grant; historically the Committee has utilized graded vesting schedules over two or
five year periods. Upon exercise of stock options or issuance of restricted stock grants, it is the Companys policy to issue new shares of common stock.

Effective January 1, 2006, PremierWest Bancorp adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123R). SFAS 123R requires companies to measure
and recognize as compensation expense the grant date fair market value for all share-based awards. That portion of the grant date fair market value that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service period,
typically the vesting period, utilizing the straight-line attribution method. SFAS 123R requires companies to estimate the fair market value of stock-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. We use the Black-Scholes
option-pricing model to value our stock options.  The Black-Scholes model requires the use of assumptions regarding the historical volatility of our stock price, our expected dividend yield, the risk-free interest rate, and the weighted average
expected life of the options. The following schedule reflects the various assumptions included in this model as it relates to the valuation of our options:

|                                        |  | Black-Scholes Assumptions
|--------------------------------------- |  | -------------------------
|                                        |  |                          
|                                        |  | June 30, 2006            
|                                        |  |                          
|Risk-free interest rate                 |  | 4.41%                    
|Expected dividend                       |  | 0.28%                    
|Expected lives, in years                |  | 7.7                      
|Expected volatility                     |  | 39%                      
|Fair value of options granted in period |  | $6.38                    

We adopted SFAS 123R using the modified prospective transition method, which requires adoption as of January 1, 2006, the first day of PremierWest Bancorps 2006 fiscal year. In accordance with the modified prospective
method, the Companys consolidated financial statements for prior periods have not been restated to reflect, and do not include, the impact of SFAS 123R. Stock-based compensation expense recognized under SFAS 123R for the quarter ended June 30,
2006, resulting from stock options that were granted during the current and previous periods that vested during the current period, totaled $50,000 with a related tax benefit of $18,250 being recognized. For the year-to-date period ending
June 30, 2006, stock based compensation expense totaled $90,000 with a related tax benefit of $32,850. At June 30, 2006, unrecognized stock-based compensation expense totaled $716,000 and will be expensed over a weighted average period
of 2.7 years.

NOTE 2  STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION (continued)

Under SFAS 123, prior to its revision, the Company previously accounted for stock based compensation in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB
No. 25). Accordingly, prior to January 1, 2006, no accounting recognition was given to stock options granted at fair market value until they were exercised, at which time the net proceeds including tax benefits realized, were credited to
shareholders equity.

The following table presents the pro forma effect on net income and earnings per share had PremierWest Bancorp applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123 in the prior period reported:

During the third quarter of 2004, the Bank reclassified obligations of state and political subdivision securities from available-for-sale to held-to-maturity to more accurately reflect the purpose and intent in holding
these securities for long-term pledging requirements. The unrealized holding gains at the time of transfer was $335,000, net of deferred taxes of $224,000, and is being amortized as an adjustment to yield. This is offset by the amortization
of a similar amount recorded in shareholders equity within accumulated other comprehensive income from the date of transfer through the maturity date of each security transferred.

All unrealized losses reflected above have been the result of changes in interest rates subsequent to the purchase of the securities. Because the decline in fair value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not
credit quality, and because the Bank has the ability and intent to hold these investments until a market price recovery is realized, or to maturity, the unrealized losses on these investments are not considered other-than-temporarily impaired.

At June 30, 2006, investment securities with an estimated fair market value of $11.7 million were pledged to secure public deposits, certain nonpublic deposits, and borrowings.

The Bank had outstanding borrowings with the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) totaling $36.5 million and $1.8 million as of June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively. In addition, as of June 30, 2006, the Bank
had $3.0 million outstanding under letters of credit used to support its public funds pledging requirements.  Letters of credit do not increase the Banks outstanding borrowings, however, they reduce the Banks borrowing availability.
The Bank makes monthly principal and interest payments on long-term borrowings and monthly payments of interest only on short-term borrowings under the FHLBs Cash Management Advance (CMA) program.

Of the total outstanding advances on June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the Company had long-term borrowings of $1.5 million and $1.8 million, respectively, with various maturity dates through February 2014.
Monthly payments of $53,000 plus interest are being made against these long-term advances at the June 30, 2006 weighted average annual interest rate of 5.92% .

The Bank also utilizes FHLBs Cash Management Advance program for short-term borrowing needs. Advances taken under this program mature in less than one year. As of June 30, 2006, the Company had $35.0 million in
outstanding CMA advances; as of December 31, 2005, there were no outstanding balances under this program.  At June 30, 2006, the annual rate of interest charged against the Banks outstanding CMA balances was 5.51% .

All outstanding borrowings with the FHLB are collateralized as provided for under the Advances, Security and Deposit Agreement between the Bank and the FHLB and include the Banks FHLB stock and any funds or investment
securities held by the FHLB that are not otherwise pledged for the benefit of others. In addition, certain qualifying loans were pledged to support the Banks outstanding advances and provided for immediate available borrowing capacity, after
subtracting existing borrowings and outstanding letters of credit, of approximately $4.7 million and $42.4 million as of June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively.

As an additional source of liquidity, the Bank maintains unsecured federal funds lines with multiple correspondent banks and a secured borrowing arrangement through the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco (FRB). Federal
funds purchased generally mature within one to four days from the transaction date. As of June 30, 2006 the Company had $121.0 million in aggregate available borrowing commitments through correspondent banks and the Federal Reserve Bank's
discount window. Outstanding balances under these commitments at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 were $32.4 million and $16.4 million, respectively.

|NOTE 6  JUNIOR SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES
|---------------------------------------

On December 30, 2004, the Company established two wholly-owned statutory business trusts (PremierWest Statutory Trust I and II) that were formed to issue junior subordinated debentures and related common securities.  The
$15,464,000 of junior subordinated debentures issued by the Trusts requires quarterly interest-only payments. Common stock issued by the Trusts and held as an investment by the Company is recorded in other assets in the consolidated balance
sheets. Following are the terms of the junior subordinated debentures as of June 30, 2006.

|NOTE 7 - 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 include commitments to extend credit and
standby letters of credit. These instruments involve various levels and elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.  The contract or notional amounts of those
instruments reflect the extent of

involvement the Company has in particular classes of financial instruments.  As of June 30, 2006, the Company had $170.0 million of commitments to extend credit to customers and $11.1 million of standby letters of
credit.

In the ordinary course of business, the Bank may become involved in various litigation arising from normal banking activities. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of current actions will not have a
material adverse effect on the Companys consolidated financial position or results of operations.

|NOTE 8 - EARNINGS PER SHARE
|---------------------------

The Company's basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income, less dividends declared on convertible preferred stock, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period,
retroactively adjusted for all stock dividends paid and declared. The Company's diluted earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding plus dilutive common shares related to
stock options, restricted stock grants and convertible preferred shares, retroactively adjusted for all stock dividends paid and declared. The following summarizes the weighted average shares outstanding for computation of basic and diluted shares
as of June 30, 2006 and 2005.

NOTE 9 - RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In November 2005, the FASB issued FSP Nos. FAS 115-1 and FAS 124-1, The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and its Applications to Certain Investments.  The FSP provides guidance on determining when an
investment is considered impaired, whether the impairment is other-than-temporary and the measurement of an impairment loss. The FSP also includes accounting considerations subsequent to recognition of an other-than-temporary impairment and requires
certain disclosures about unrealized losses that have not been recognized as other-than-temporary impairments. The guidance applies to periods beginning after December 15, 2005 and is not expected to have a significant impact on PremierWests
consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments which amends SFAS No. 133  Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities and SFAS
No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities. SFAS 155 simplifies the accounting for certain derivative embedded in other financial instruments by allowing them to be accounted
for as a whole if the holder elects to account for the whole instrument on a fair value basis. SFAS 155 also clarifies and amends certain other provisions of SFAS 133 and SFAS 140. SFAS 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired, issued
or subject to a re-measurement event occurring in fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2006.  Earlier adoption is permitted, provided the Company has not yet issued financial statements, including for interim periods, for that fiscal year.
Management does not expect the adoption of SFAS 155 to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets which amends SFAS No. 140. SFAS 156 requires that all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities be
initially measured at fair value, if practicable. The statement permits, but does not require, the subsequent measurement of servicing assets and servicing liabilities at fair value.  SFAS 156 is effective for fiscal years beginning after September
15, 2006.  Management does not expect the adoption of SFAS 155 to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

DISCLOSURE REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

This report includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the "safe-harbor" provisions of Sections 21D and 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Such forward-looking statements are based on the
beliefs of PremierWest Bancorps (the Company) management and on assumptions made by management on the basis of information currently available. Other than for statements of historical fact, all statements about our financial position and
results of operations, business strategy and managements plans and objectives for future operations are forward-looking statements. When used in this report, the words "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "expect," and "intend" and words or
phrases of similar meaning, as they relate to the Company or management, are intended in part to help identify forward-looking statements. Examples of forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to statements that include projections or
managements expectations for revenues, income or expenses, earnings per share, capital expenditures, dividends, capital structure and other financial items; statements of the plans and objectives of the Company, its management or its board of
directors, including the introduction of new products or services, plans for expansion, acquisitions or future growth and estimates or predictions of actions by customers, vendors, competitors or regulatory authorities; statements about future
economic performance; and statements of assumptions underlying other statements about the Company and its business. Although management believes that the expectations reflected in forward-looking statements are reasonable, we can make no assurance
that such expectations will prove correct. Forward-looking statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by the forward-looking statements. These risks and
uncertainties include factors that might inhibit our ability to maintain or expand our market share or our net interest margins and factors that could limit or delay implementation of our marketing and growth strategies. Further, actual results may
be affected by our ability to compete on price and other factors with other financial institutions; customer acceptance of new products and services; localized economic conditions and events that disproportionately affect our business; and general
trends in the banking industry, interest rate economy and regulatory environment. In addition, we face various risks inherent in the banking industry relating to collectibility of loans and changes in interest rates. Other risks include those
identified from time to time in our past and future filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Note that this list of risks is not exhaustive, and risks identified are applicable as of the date made and cannot be updated.

OVERVIEW -The following includes managements discussion of the financial condition and results of operations for PremierWest Bancorp and its wholly owned subsidiary,
PremierWest Bank including the Banks wholly owned subsidiaries, Premier Finance Company and PremierWest Investment Services, Inc., for the three and six months ending June 30, 2006. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes contained in this report as well as the Companys Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005. For discussion purposes, management has made comparisons, as it deems appropriate, to
other periods including the same interim periods in 2005 and the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005.

HIGHLIGHTS -For the second quarter ending June 30, 2006, the Company earned $3.8 million ($0.22 per diluted share), an increase of 17.55% compared to earnings of $3.2
million ($0.18 per diluted share) for the same period ended June 30, 2005. For the year-to-date period ending June 30, 2006, the Company earned $7.1 million ($0.40 per diluted share) compared to $5.9 million ($0.33 per diluted
share) for the same period ending June 30, 2005, an increase of 20.51% . Annualized return on average shareholders equity was 14.03%, and return on average assets was 1.58% for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 as compared to an annualized
return on average shareholders equity and return on average assets of 13.60% and 1.51%, respectively, for the quarter ended June 30, 2005. At June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, gross loans (loans net of deferred loan fees but before
deducting the allowance for loan losses), totaled $869.1 and $806.3 million, respectively, an increase of $62.8 million or 7.79% since year end (15.58% annualized growth rate). Deposits totaled $782.7 million at June 30, 2006
compared to $768.4 million at December 31, 2005, a 1.86% increase since year-end (3.72% annualized growth rate). When compared to the second quarter ended June 30, 2005, gross loans grew 13.61% and deposits increased 6.62% .

Growth in earnings for the quarter and year-to-date period ending June 30, 2006, when compared to the same periods a year ago, continue to be driven by the combination of loan growth and the rising interest rate
environment. Short term interest rates have increased a total of 200 basis points over the past twelve months. As rates have risen, re-pricing opportunities on the asset side of our balance sheet from variable rate loans and new loan production has
occurred at a faster rate than the re-pricing of our liabilities  primarily our deposit base. Our net interest margin is a key component of profitability. Despite increased reliance on rate sensitive short-term borrowings, the Company has
maintained a relatively stable net interest margin each quarter. Compared to the second quarter of 2005, when our net interest margin was 5.89%, our net interest margin for the four successive quarters since June 30, 2005, was 6.20%, 6.40%, 6.24%
and 6.34%, respectively.

The Bank continues to enjoy excellent loan demand with loan volume exceeding the growth rate of our deposit base. As of June 30, 2006, the Banks loan to deposit ratio, based on net loans (loans net of deferred loan
fees and the allowance for loan losses) was 109.7% compared to 103.6% as of December 31, 2005, and 102.7% as of June 30, 2005.  This has resulted in greater reliance on relatively higher cost short term borrowings as a temporary source of funding.
Increased borrowings, along with the lagging but inevitable re-pricing of our interest-bearing deposits, particularly with regard to maturing certificates of deposit, has resulted in an increase to our overall cost of funds that will continue to
pressure our net interest margin during the second half of 2006.  Management has implemented initiatives for attracting core deposits in order to reduce our reliance on short-term borrowings and to maximize our interest rate spread within the
constraints of a competitive marketplace.

The primary goal of PremierWest Banks business plan is building a dominant community banking franchise along the Interstate 5 corridor between Eugene, Oregon and Sacramento, California.  In addition, the bank has
targeted the high growth market

14

---

located in central Oregon for expanding our footprint beyond Interstate 5. Thus far in 2006 we have experienced solid loan growth from throughout the Banks geographic markets. This growth is in line with our
expectations and overall strategy which remains focused on strengthening or expanding the Banks position within existing markets; opening de novo start-up offices in new markets; and seeking opportunities to grow by acquisition. During the
second quarter just ended we opened two de novo branch offices located in the southern Oregon communities of Ashland and Shady Cove and we expect to open our second branch office in Bend, Oregon before the end of this year.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

NET INTEREST INCOME Net interest income, our primary source of revenue, is the difference between the interest income generated from our earning assets (loans and investments)
and the interest expense paid on our interest-bearing liabilities (interest-bearing deposits and borrowed funds). Our net interest income is impacted by variables such as the volume and mix of our earning assets; the volume and mix of both our
interest-bearing and non interest-bearing liabilities; the quality of our loan portfolio; and the general movement in the market rates of interest. A key measurement of profitability is our net interest margin (net interest income divided by average
interest-earning assets), which represents the relative stability in net interest income over time.

During the second quarter of 2006, our interest income increased $4.2 million while our interest expense increased $1.8 million resulting in our net interest income increasing $2.4 million (21.6%) for the second
quarter of 2006 compared to the same period a year ago.

The increases in our interest income, interest expense and the resulting net interest margin for the second quarter and year-to-date period ending June 30, 2006, compared to the same period in 2005, was driven by the
combination of higher levels of both our earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, as well as the general trend of rising short-term interest rates. During the past twelve months, movements in increments of 25 basis points by the Federal
Reserve Bank have resulted in an equal rise in the prime rate of interest, the leading short-term rate index, by a total of 200 basis points, 50 basis points in each of the last four quarters.  The growth in our earning assets over the past year
resulted from strong loan demand across all of our markets, including our two newest geographic markets located in northern California and central Oregon.

For the quarter ending June 30, 2006, our tax equivalent net interest margin was 6.34%, a 45 basis point increase over the same period a year ago and a 10 basis point increase from the first quarter of 2006. While
benefiting from excellent loan demand and stable loan quality, our loan growth has continued to exceed the growth of our deposit base. This has resulted in our reliance on higher cost short-term borrowings to support loan growth.  During the second
quarter of 2006, our short-term borrowings averaged $49.5 million compared to $40.3 million during the first quarter of 2006 and $19.3 million during the second quarter of 2005.

LOAN LOSS PROVISION Charges made to the provision for loan losses were $500,000 and $150,000 for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2006 and June 30, 2005,
respectively. On a net basis the Company had charge offs of $159,000 during the first half of 2006 compared to net recoveries of $1.5 million for the corresponding period in 2005. Charges to the loan loss provision during 2005 were
temporarily suspended as a result of the credit quality of our loan portfolio and the significant net recovery position experienced. By comparison, during the current year management has resumed charges to the provision for loan losses in line with
growth in the loan portfolio and managements ongoing assessment of credit risk within the loan portfolio as a whole. Management believes that, as of June 30, 2006, the balance in the allowance for loan losses was reasonable and appropriate to
support inherent probable losses.

NONINTEREST INCOME Noninterest income represents service charges, fees, commissions and other income derived principally from general banking services, residential mortgage
brokerage activity, sales of investment and insurance products, and gains from the sale of other assets.  Total noninterest income increased approximately $98,000 (5.25%) and $173,000 (4.77%), respectively, for the three months and six
months ending June 30, 2006, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2005. Growth in noninterest income over the first half of 2006 compared to the first six months of 2005 included $333,000 from account service fees and $60,000 from
other commissions and fees. This growth was offset by a decrease in mortgage banking fees of $33,000; commissions earned from investment services of $23,000; and other non-interest income of $164,000.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE- Noninterest expense increased approximately $1.3 million or 15.64% and $2.7 million or 17.09%, respectively, for the three months and six months ended
June 30, 2006, as compared to the corresponding period in 2005. The increase over the six month period resulted from $2.2 million increase in salaries and benefits expenses; a $204,000 increase in occupancy and equipment expenses; and, a
$325,000 net increase in other noninterest expenses. The increases in noninterest expense are the result of our growth in general, including annual salary increases that begin in the first quarter of each year, and the implementation of our
growth strategies that included expenses related to the opening of two new branch offices during the second quarter of 2006.  Management believes that the higher occupancy and personnel expenses that have been incurred to enter new markets are
strategic costs that will drive future earnings growth.

EFFICIENCY RATIO- The Company's efficiency ratio was 60.35% during the second quarter of 2006 compared to 62.25% for the second quarter of 2005.  The improvement in this key measure
was driven by the overall growth in our net interest income. Overall the increase in our net interest income and noninterest income exceeded the increase in noninterest expense for the quarter ending June 30, 2006 when compared to the quarter ending
June 30, 2005. The efficiency ratio for the second quarter of 2006 reflected a 267 basis point improvement when compared to the 63.02% efficiency ratio achieved for the immediately preceding quarter ending March 31, 2006. Management will continue to
seek opportunities to improve upon overall levels of organizational efficiency but believes that an efficiency ratio in the low 60% range is a reasonable and sustainable target given the Banks strategies for both customer service and
growth.

FINANCIAL CONDITION -Total assets of $984.5 million at June 30, 2006 increased 7.76% over total assets of $913.7 million at December 31, 2005. The increase in assets
primarily resulted from an increase in loan volume as net loans increased $62.4 million or 7.84% .

Net loans accounted for 87.19% of total assets at June 30, 2006 compared to 87.12% at December 31, 2005. As of June 30, 2006, the allowance for loan losses increased to $10.7 million from $10.3 million at December
31, 2005. The Company's ratio of allowance for loan losses to total loans was 1.23% at June 30, 2006 as compared to 1.28% at December 31, 2005 and 1.42% at June 30, 2005. Non-performing assets (defined as loans on non-accrual status, loans 90 days
or more past due and other real estate owned) either specifically reserved or adequately collateralized were $817,000, $2.3 million and $1.5 million at June 30, 2006, December 31, 2005 and June 30, 2005, respectively.  Management
maintains and adheres to disciplined underwriting standards and has a proven track record for managing credit risk as well as identifying and aggressively administering problem loans.

Total deposits increased to $782.7 million at June 30, 2006, a $14.3 million or 1.86% increase compared to $768.4 million as of December 31, 2005. Net loan growth has continued to outpace our growth in deposits
and as of June 30, 2006, resulted in a loan-to-deposit ratio of 109.7% compared to a ratio of 103.6% as of December 31, 2005 and 102.7% as of June 30, 2005. Demand for

---

loans has been steady throughout our markets and as anticipated, deposit growth, particularly in our newest market areas, has lagged behind loan production. Notwithstanding managements desire to maintain a
loan-to-deposit ratio at or below 100%, as of June 30, 2006, the Banks deposit mix remained stable  consisting of 25.0% noninterest bearing demand, with core deposits, consisting of noninterest bearing demand, interest-bearing demand and
regular savings deposits, representing 68.2%, and, time deposits comprising 31.8% of total deposits. The Bank has not utilized brokered time deposits as a part of its funding strategy. However, should liquidity and profitability considerations
dictate the need to grow deposits more rapidly than may be generated through our traditional deposit gathering efforts, the Bank has flexibility in strategically pricing time deposits more aggressively, and/or utilizing brokered time deposits in
order to attract higher cost deposits.

Management closely monitors the Banks liquidity needs and maintains the ability to borrow from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Seattle and other correspondent banks. For more information about liquidity refer to the

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

LIQUIDITY - Liquidity enables the Company to fund loan commitments and meet customer withdrawals of deposits. The Company maintains its liquidity position through maintenance
of cash resources, the stability of and growth in our core deposit base and through our ability to borrow funds from committed sources of credit.  Overall, the Companys liquidity position decreased during the quarter ended June 30, 2006 as our
loan volume has continued to exceed the growth rate of our deposit base.  During the quarter, our loan-to-deposit ratio tightened from 105.9% at March 31, 2006 to 109.7% at June 30, 2006, whereas liquidity, in the form of excess cash and funds
invested on a short-term basis as federal funds sold and interest-earning deposits with the FHLB, increased approximately $3.5 million. Investments in the form of securities either held-to-maturity or available-for-sale declined by $1.3
million from calls and maturities that occurred and are presently all pledged for collateralization of public funds on deposit and, therefore, are not available for purposes of liquidity. Historically our pledging requirements have been met through
the use of our securities portfolio, although we are also able to use our borrowing capacity through the use of letters of credit to meet pledging requirements.  As of June 30, 2006, in addition to the full use of our securities portfolio the Bank
was using letters of credit totaling $3.0 million to meet its pledging needs.

Management maintains contingency plans for addressing the Companys ongoing liquidity needs and presently believes the Banks stable core deposit base provides for flexibility and opportunity should management
decide to attract deposits more aggressively by increasing the rate of interest offered on deposits  particularly certificates of deposit. Management has also identified certain loans where a portion of the outstanding balance could be sold to
a participating bank to provide additional cash for liquidity purposes.  Further, should loan demand outpace our ability to gather sufficient deposits or maintain adequate funding from other borrowings, the Company could slow its loan growth through
various policy changes including increased pricing. The Company maintains a secured line-of-credit with the FHLB. As of June 30, 2006, the Bank had $1.5 million of long-term and $35.0 million of short-term borrowings advanced from the FHLB
with the immediate availability for an additional $4.7 million under the Company's credit line.  The Company also has unsecured federal funds credit lines for up to $120.0 million through certain correspondent banks and a $1.0 million
secured line of credit through the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco. As of June 30, 2006, there were $32.4 million in balances outstanding against these credit lines leaving available credit of $88.6 million.

At June 30, 2006, the Company had approximately $170.0 million in outstanding commitments to extend credit for newly approved loans and construction projects. Under the terms of construction project commitments,
completion of specified project benchmarks must be certified before funds may be drawn. Additionally, we anticipate that a portion of these commitments will expire or terminate without funding. Management believes that the Company's available
resources will be sufficient to fund these commitments in the normal course of business.

CAPITAL RESOURCES- Federal regulators require the measurement of various capital ratios, including risk-based capital measurements. Risk-weighted ratios require an analysis that
weights balance sheet and off-balance sheet items for their inherent risk. It requires minimum standards for risk-based capital by capital tier. As a minimum requirement, the total risk-based capital ratio should be at least 8.00%, the Tier 1
capital ratio should be at least 4.00%, and the leverage capital ratio should be at least 4.00% . At June 30, 2006, the Company's regulatory capital ratios were as follows: total risk-based capital ratio was 11.76%, Tier 1 capital ratio was 10.65%,
and the leverage capital ratio was 10.91% . If the Company achieved only minimum regulatory capital levels, further growth could be restricted to the level attainable through generation and retention of net income or the Company may find it
necessary to seek additional capital from outside sources.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and rates. The Company's market risk arises principally from interest rate risk in its lending, deposit and borrowing activities. Management actively
monitors and manages its interest rate risk exposure. Although the Company manages other risks, such as credit quality and liquidity risk, in the normal course of business, management considers interest rate risk to be a significant market risk,
which could have the largest material effect on the Company's financial condition and results of operations. Other types of market risks, such as foreign currency exchange rate risk and commodity price risk, do not arise in the normal course of the
Company's business activities. The Company did not experience a significant change in market risk at June 30, 2006 as compared to December 31, 2005.

As stated in the annual report on Form 10-K for 2005, the Company attempts to monitor interest rate risk from the perspective of changes in the economic value of equity, also referred to as net portfolio value (NPV), and
changes in net interest income. Changes to the NPV and net interest income are simulated using instant and permanent rate shocks of plus and minus 200 basis points, in increments of 50 basis points. It is the Companys policy to manage interest
rate risk to maximize long-term profitability under the range of likely interest-rate scenarios. For additional information, refer to Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations referenced
in the Companys annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.

|ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
|-------------------------------

As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of our disclosure
controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act)). Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that
our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time
periods specified in SEC rules and forms. There
