Note 1 - Organization and Basis of Presentation



Organization.  On October 20, 2003, Rainier Pacific Savings Bank (the "Bank") converted from a Washington State chartered mutual savings bank to a Washington State chartered stock savings bank.  In connection with the Bank's conversion, Rainier Pacific Financial Group, Inc. (the "Company") was formed to be the bank holding company for the Bank.  The Company purchased 100% of the Bank's common stock simultaneously with the Bank's conversion to stock form and the Company's offering and sale of its common stock to the public.

The Bank provides a full range of banking services to consumers and limited banking services to small- and medium-sized businesses and professionals.  On July 17, 2006, the Bank opened a new full service branch office located in the Federal Way Crossings shopping center.  The Bank now has 14 banking offices located in the Tacoma-Pierce County market and the City of Federal Way.  The Bank also provides insurance and investment services through operating units of the Bank doing business as Rainier Pacific Insurance Services and Rainier Pacific Financial Services, respectively.



Basis of Presentation.

Reclassifications.  Certain amounts in the prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the September 30, 2006 presentation.  These reclassifications have no effect on net income, equity, or earnings per share.

Note 2 - Mutual-to-Stock Conversion of the Bank

The Board of Directors of the Bank adopted a Plan of Conversion (the "Plan") on March 22, 2003, which was amended on August 6, 2003.  The Plan provided for the conversion of the Bank from a Washington State chartered mutual savings bank to a Washington State chartered stock savings bank pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Washington State Department of Financial Institutions and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.  As part of the conversion, the Plan provided for the concurrent formation of the Company which owns 100% of the common stock of the Bank.  On October 20, 2003, the Bank consummated the conversion following receipt of all required regulatory approvals, the approval of the Plan by depositors of the Bank, and the completion or fulfillment of all other conditions precedent to the conversion.

Upon conversion, the legal existence of the Bank did not terminate and the stock bank is a continuation of the mutual bank.  The stock bank has, holds, and enjoys the same rights as was possessed, held, and enjoyed by the mutual bank.  The stock bank continues to have and succeeds to all the rights, obligations, and relations of the mutual bank.

In connection with the conversion, the Bank established a liquidation account in an amount equal to its total net worth as of the latest statement of financial condition appearing in the financial statements contained in the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed with the SEC on June 20, 2003.  The liquidation account is maintained for the benefit of eligible depositors who continue to maintain their accounts at the Bank after the conversion.  The liquidation account is reduced annually to the extent that eligible depositors have reduced their qualifying deposits.  Subsequent increases will not restore an eligible account holder's interest in the liquidation account.  In the event of a complete liquidation, each eligible depositor will be entitled to receive a distribution from the liquidation account in an amount proportionate to the current adjusted qualifying balances for accounts then held.  The liquidation account balance is not available for payment of dividends.

Note 3 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The preparation of the 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 amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements.  Changes in these estimates and assumptions are considered reasonably possible and may have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements and thus actual results could differ from the amounts reported and disclosed herein.

Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant changes relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, the deferred tax asset and liability accounts, and the valuation of real estate or other collateral acquired in connection with foreclosures or in satisfaction of loans.  In connection with the determination of the allowance for loan losses and the valuation of foreclosed or repossessed assets held-for-sale, management obtains independent appraisals for significant properties. There were no material changes in the Company's significant accounting policies or critical accounting estimates from those disclosed in the Company's 2005 Form 10-K.

Note 4 - Stock-Based Compensation

Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.  Prior to the adoption of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment ("SFAS 123(R)"), the Company accounted for stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations.  The Company adopted the pro forma disclosure-only provisions of SFAS 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, as amended by SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure,an amendment of SFAS 123 and, as such, did not recognize any compensation expense for employee stock options for all periods prior to January 1, 2006.

On January 1, 2006 (the effective date), the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123(R), using the "modified prospective" method in which compensation cost is recognized for all share-based payments granted prior to the effective date of SFAS 123(R) that remained unvested on the effective date and for all awards granted to employees after the effective date.  See Note 4 for additional information regarding stock-based compensation.

On June 7, 2004, the Company granted non-qualified stock options of 351,750 shares of common stock to certain employees and directors and granted incentive stock options of 328,250 shares of common stock to certain employees under the Company's 2004 Stock Option Plan ("SOP").  The fair market value of the Company's common stock on the date of grant was $16.26.  On August 17, 2005, the Company granted additional incentive stock options of 40,000 shares of common stock to certain employees.  The fair market value of the Company's common stock on the date of grant was $16.72.  The Company implemented the SOP to promote the long-term interests of the Company and its shareholders by providing an incentive to those key employees who contribute to the operating success of the Company.  The maximum number of options that may be issued under the SOP is 844,284.  Options are granted using an exercise price of the fair market value on the date of grant and vest over five years.  Options expire 10 years from the date of grant and are subject to certain restrictions and limitations.



The estimated fair value of options granted was determined as of the grant dates using a binomial pricing model with the following assumptions:

Note 5 - Earnings Per Share

Earnings per share ("EPS") is computed using the basic and diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Basic EPS is computed by dividing the Company's net income or loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period.  Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income by diluted weighted average shares outstanding, which includes common stock equivalent shares outstanding using the treasury stock method, unless such shares are anti-dilutive.  Common stock equivalents include stock options and restricted stock awards granted under the SOP and the MRP approved by shareholders in April 2004.  Unallocated shares relating to the ESOP debt obligations are deducted in the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding.

Note 7 - Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments ("SFAS 155") - an amendment to SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities ("SFAS 133"), and SFAS No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities ("SFAS 140").  SFAS 155 provides the framework for fair value remeasurement of any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation as well as establishes a requirement to evaluate interests in securitized financial assets to identify interests. SFAS 155 further amends SFAS 140 to eliminate the prohibition on a qualifying special-purpose entity from holding a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument. The SFAS 155 guidance also clarifies which interest-only strips and principal-only strips are not subject to the requirement of SFAS 133 and which concentrations of credit risk in the form of subordination are not embedded derivatives. This statement is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity's first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. SFAS 155 is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets ("SFAS 156") - an amendment of SFAS 140.  SFAS 156 requires the recognition of a servicing asset or servicing liability under certain circumstances when an obligation to service a financial asset is created by entering into a servicing contract.  SFAS 156 also requires all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities to be initially measured at fair value utilizing the amortization method or fair market value method.  SFAS 156 is effective for an entity's first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006.  SFAS 156 is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes("FIN 48").FIN 48 requires recognition and measurement of uncertain tax positions using a "more-likely-than-not" approach.  FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2006, and is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements ("SFAS 157").  This standard clarifies the principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability.  Additionally, it establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop those assumptions.  SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, Employers' Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans-an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R) ("SFAS 158").  This standard requires employers to recognize the underfunded or overfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in the funded status in the year in which the changes occur through accumulated other comprehensive income.  The new reporting requirements and related new footnote disclosure rules of SFAS 158 are effective for fiscal years ending after

ITEM 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Forward-Looking Statements

This Form 10-Q contains certain "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words such as "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "should," "planned," "estimated," and "potential." These forward-looking statements relate to, among other things, expectations of the business environment in which the Company operates, projections of future performance, perceived opportunities in the market, potential future credit experience, and statements regarding the Company's strategies. These forward-looking statements are based upon current management expectations and may, therefore, involve risks and uncertainties. The Company's actual results, performance, or achievements may differ materially from those suggested, expressed, or implied by forward-looking statements as a result of a wide variety or range of factors including, but not limited to: interest rate fluctuations; economic conditions in the Company's primary market area; deposit flows; demand for residential, commercial real estate, consumer, and other types of loans; levels of non-performing assets and other loans of concern; real estate values; success of new products; competitive conditions between banks and non-bank financial service providers; regulatory and accounting changes; success of new technology; technological factors affecting operations; costs of technology; pricing of products and services; costs of constructing new buildings; time to lease excess space in Company-owned buildings; and other risks detailed from time to time in our filings with the Securities Exchange Commission. Accordingly, these factors should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements, and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. The Company undertakes no responsibility to update or revise any forward-looking statements.  These risks could cause our actual results for 2006 and beyond to differ materially from those expressed in any forward looking statements made by or on behalf of the Company.

Total assets increased by $30.2 million, or 3.5%, to $901.0 million at September 30, 2006 from $870.8 million at December 31, 2005.  This increase reflects loan portfolio growth of $46.0 million to $620.3 million from $574.3 million, partially offset by a decrease of $22.3 million in investment securities.  The growth in loans was primarily funded by maturing investment securities and increased customer deposits.  Deposits increased $20.5 million to $458.5 million from $438.0 million, resulting from increases in interest-bearing customer deposits.  Shareholders' equity increased $2.0 million to $86.7 million at September 30, 2006 from $84.7 million at December 31, 2005, primarily due to the net income earned during the nine months ended September 30, 2006.

Our net loan portfolio increased $46.0 million, or 8.0%, to $620.3 million at September 30, 2006 from $574.3 million at December 31, 2005. This increase was primarily attributable to the growth of our commercial real estate loans, which increased $24.3 million or 14.6%; one- to four-family residential construction loans, which increased $14.0 million, or 26.3%; and home equity loans, which increased $9.6 million, or 30.1%.  Additional growth in the loan portfolio was generated in multi-family real estate loans, which increased $3.7 million or 2.4%; commercial/business loans, which increased $3.0 million, or 32.7%; and one- to four-family residential loans, which increased $484,000, or 0.6%.  These increases were partially offset by a decline in the automobile loan portfolio, which decreased $5.8 million, or 14.6% and commercial residential and non-residential construction loans, which decreased $2.9 million, or 100.0%.  Total loans secured by real estate increased $49.3 million, or 9.8%, to $552.3 million at September 30, 2006 from $503.0 million at December 31, 2005.  Subject to market conditions, we will continue to focus on growing our real estate secured loans, primarily five or more family residential properties (multi-family), commercial real estate, and construction loans.

Our investment securities portfolio decreased by $22.3 million, or 9.3%, to $203.4 million at September 30, 2006 from $225.7 million at December 31, 2005.  The decrease was primarily attributable to the maturity of a $20.0 million held-to-maturity security and a decrease in mortgage-backed securities of $11.5 million, or 14.7% to $66.5 million from $78.0 million primarily as a result of prepayments.  Partially offsetting these decreases was the purchase of $9.0 million of adjustable-rate trust preferred securities added to the portfolio during the first quarter of 2006.

Our deposits increased $20.5 million, or 4.7%, to $458.5 million at September 30, 2006 from $438.0 million at December 31, 2005. Interest-bearing deposits increased by $19.3 million, or 4.7% and non-interest bearing deposits were up $1.1 million.  Our deposit mix at the end of the third quarter included 48.9% of relatively low-cost checking, savings, money market, and individual retirement accounts.  Certificates of deposit at September 30, 2006 included $44.4 million of brokered certificates of deposit, a decline of $7.8 million from the $52.2 million of brokered certificates of deposit at December 31, 2005.

In order to grow core deposits, we have offered interest rates on some money market and interest-bearing checking accounts that were near the top of rates offered by competing institutions in the local market.  We anticipate gradually lowering these rates in the fourth quarter of 2006 and may experience some of these deposits moving to certificates of deposit or to a competitor offering a higher rate.  We
also anticipate a very competitive market in the fourth quarter of 2006, as financial institutions aggressively compete for deposits to fund relatively strong loan demand in our local market.

Borrowings.  The FHLB of Seattle advances increased $1.4 million, or 0.4%, to $341.6 million at September 30, 2006 from $340.2 million at December 31, 2005. We used the borrowed funds as part of our capital and interest rate risk management strategies for both short- and long-term funding of loans and investment securities.  We utilize borrowings from the FHLB of Seattle to fund attractive loan and investment opportunities and to enhance earnings in connection with leveraging the Company's capital to increase our net interest income.

Capital.  Total shareholders' equity increased $2.0 million, or 2.4%, to $86.7 million at September 30, 2006 from $84.7 million at December 31, 2005.  The increase in equity from December 31, 2005 to September 30, 2006 was the result of $2.1 million in net income, $1.9 million in positive equity adjustments related to stock compensation and benefits, and $370,000 in unrealized gains on securities.  The $4.4 million of positive equity items were offset by $1.2 million of dividends paid to shareholders and $1.1 million of common stock repurchases.  As a result of these factors, and the $30.2 million increase in assets, our capital-to-assets ratio under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States decreased to 9.63% at September 30, 2006 compared to 9.73% at December 31, 2005.

Our net interest income increased to $6.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006, compared to $6.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005.  The $338,000 increase in net interest income resulted from increased interest income of $3.3 million, which was largely offset by the increase in our interest expense.  Our interest rate spread decreased to 2.59%, or 30 basis points, for the three months ended September 30, 2006, from 2.89% for the same period in 2005, due to the impact of rising short-term rates and a slightly inverted yield curve that caused our liability costs to rise more rapidly than our yields on earning assets.  A $112.9 million increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets for the three months ended September 30, 2006 offset the impact of this margin compression and resulted in an increase in net interest income for the third quarter of 2006 compared to the same period one year ago.

Interest Income.  Our interest income increased $3.3 million, or 29.9%, to $14.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006 from $10.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005. Interest earned on loans for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 was $11.2 million and $9.0 million, respectively.  The average yield on total loans was 7.22% for the three months ended September 30, 2006 compared to 6.67% for the same period in 2005.  The average balance of total loans also increased by $84.5 million to $619.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006 from $534.5 million for the same period in 2005.  A significant portion of the loan portfolio consists of real estate secured loans which do not immediately re-price when interest rates change.  Construction loans, home equity lines of credit, credit card loans, and our commercial loans, however, readily re-price when short-term interest rates change.   The increase in yield on these loan products, combined with the increase in average balance of loans, primarily contributed to the increased interest income on loans.

Interest income on investment securities (including mortgage-backed securities) increased $862,000, or 44.4%, to $2.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006 from $1.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005 as a result of a higher average balance and yields on investment securities.  The average balance of investment securities for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 was $212.2 million and $193.8 million, respectively.  The average yield on investment securities increased to 5.28% for the three months ended September 30, 2006 from 4.00% for the three months ended September 30, 2005, primarily as a result of floating rate trust preferred securities repricing upwards due to the recent increases in short-term interest rates.

Interest Expense.  Our interest expense increased $2.9 million, or 59.2%, to $7.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006 from $4.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005.  In addition to an increase in the average balances of our deposits and borrowings, rising market rates increased our deposit and borrowing costs.



Interest expense on deposits increased $1.9 million, or 92.5%, to $3.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006 from $2.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005.  The average cost of deposits increased 143 basis points to 3.67% for the three months ended September 30, 2006 from 2.24% for the three months ended September 30, 2005.  This increase in deposit costs for the three months ended September 30, 2006 was primarily a result of average balance increases of $33.1 million in higher cost certificates of deposit and brokered deposit accounts, $22.2 million in interest bearing checking accounts, and $9.1 million in higher rate money market accounts.  In addition, interest expense was higher as a result of increased short-term interest rates.

Interest expense on borrowed funds increased $1.1 million, or 36.3%, to $4.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006 from $2.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005.  The average balances of FHLB of Seattle advances were $358.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2006, an increase of $54.4 million from $304.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005. In addition to the increased balances, the cost of borrowed funds increased by 60 basis points to 4.41% during the three months ended September 30, 2006 from 3.81% for the three months ended September 30, 2005 as short-term market rates rose.

Provision for Loan Losses.   The following table sets forth an analysis of our allowance for loan losses at the dates and for the periods indicated (dollars in thousands):

Our provision for loan losses was unchanged at $150,000 for the three month periods ended September 30, 2006 and September 30, 2005.  The provision was recorded at a level considered appropriate to ensure that the allowance for loan losses was adequate to address the inherent credit risk in the loan portfolio.  The allowance for loan losses as a percent of total loans decreased to 1.34% at September 30, 2006 from 1.47% at December 31, 2005.  The decrease in the allowance ratio and total allowance was largely the result of growth in real estate secured loans, which have historically experienced a very low level of losses, a decreased balance of consumer loans (excluding home equity loans), which have historically experienced higher losses, and improved credit quality of the loan portfolio.   At September 30, 2006, the allowance for loan losses totaled $8.4 million compared to $8.6 million at December 31, 2005.

Management believes that our allowance for loan losses as of September 30, 2006 was adequate to absorb the known and inherent risks of loss in the loan portfolio at that date. While management believes the estimates and assumptions used in its determination of the adequacy of the allowance are reasonable, there can be no assurance that such estimates and assumptions will not be proven incorrect in the future, or that the actual amount of future provisions will not exceed the amount of past provisions or that any increased provisions that may be required will not adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the determination of the amount of our allowance for loan losses is subject to review by bank regulators, as part of the routine examination process, which may result in the establishment of additional reserves based upon their judgment of information available to them at the time of their examination.

Our non-interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2006 increased $469,000, or 25.6%, to $2.3 million from $1.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005.  This increase was primarily a result of increases in insurance service fees of $406,000 and real estate lease income of $85,000.  The purchase of the Christopherson-Boze
and Holman Insurance Agencies, completed on January 3, 2006, provided the
primary contribution to the increase in insurance service fee income. The Bank's
administrative office building was fully leased during the three months ending
September 30, 2006, which contributed $72,000 of the $85,000 increase in real
estate lease income, as the administrative office was not fully leased during
the three months ended September 30, 2005. Partially offsetting these increases
was a $99,000 decline in the gain on sale of loans for the comparative periods
as a result of a lower level of originations of single-family residential real
estate loans during the three months ended September 30, 2006. The single-family
mortgages we originate are primarily refinanced mortgages; therefore,
single-family loan originations

increase when long-term interest rates decrease and more consumers refinance
their homes. Loan sales are also dependent to a lesser extent on new
originations. Based on the current interest rate environment and anticipated
decreased consumer demand for mortgage refinances, we do not expect significant
gains on the sale of loans in the near future. Additionally, deposit services
fees decreased $44,000 due to a lower incidence rate of overdraft and return
item fees. All other categories of non-interest income reflected a net increase
of $121,000.

Non-interest Expense.  The following table sets forth information regarding our non-interest expense for the periods indicated (dollars in thousands):

Non-interest expense increased $584,000, or 8.7%, to $7.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006 from $6.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005. The increase in the current quarter was primarily attributable to increases in compensation and benefits of $360,000, other operating expenses of $113,000, and occupancy expense of $99,000.

Compensation and benefits increased $360,000, or 10.1%, to $3.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006 from $3.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005, primarily as a result of $161,000 of costs associated with additional employees hired in connection with the acquisition of the Christopherson-Boze and Holman Insurance Agencies in January 2006, $93,000 related to previously granted stock options, and costs related to additional staff from opening a new branch in July 2006.

The $113,000 increase in other operating expense was primarily attributable to a $56,000 increase in the amortization of our intangible assets and increases in various other operating expenses.

Occupancy expense increased $99,000, or 17.5%, primarily as a result of a $24,000 increase in the amortization of capitalized tenant and leasehold improvements, a $19,000 increase in rent expense related to the operations of the Christopherson-Boze and Holman Insurance Agencies, and a $15,000 increase in utilities and building maintenance.

All other non-interest expenses increased by a net amount of $12,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the same period in 2005.

Our net interest income increased to $18.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, compared to $18.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005.  The $484,000 increase in net interest income resulted from increased interest income of $8.8 million which was largely offset by the $8.3 million increase in our interest expense.  Our interest rate spread decreased to 2.61%, or 43 basis points, for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to 3.04% for the same period in 2005.  A $126.3 million increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 offset the margin compression and resulted in the increase in net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the same period one year ago.

Interest Income.  Our interest income increased $8.8 million, or 28.0%, to $40.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 from $31.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005.  Interest earned on loans for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 was $31.6 million and $25.5 million, respectively.  The average yield on total loans was 6.99% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to 6.62% for the same period in 2005.  The average balance of total loans increased by $90.5 million to $604.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 from $513.7 million for the same period in 2005.  A significant portion of the loan portfolio consists of real estate secured loans which do not immediately re-price when interest rates change.  Construction loans, home equity lines of credit, credit card loans, and our commercial loans, however, readily re-price when short-term interest rates change.   The increase in yield on these loan products, combined with the increase in average balance of loans, primarily contributed to the increased interest income on loans.

Interest income on investment securities (including mortgage-backed securities) increased $2.5 million, or 42.8%, to $8.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 from $5.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 as a result of a higher average balance and yields on investment securities.  The average balance of investment securities for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 was $224.0 million and $194.7 million, respectively.  The average yield on investment securities increased to 4.88% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 from 3.93% for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, primarily as a result of floating rate trust preferred securities repricing upwards due to the increase in short-term interest rates.

Interest Expense.  Our interest expense increased $8.3 million, or 63.9%, to $21.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 from $13.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005.  The increase was attributable to higher rates paid on deposits and borrowings due to rising market interest rates and higher average balance of interest-bearing liabilities.

Interest expense on deposits increased $5.3 million, or 108.5%, to $10.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 from $4.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005.  The cost of deposits increased 135 basis points to 3.29% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 from 1.94% for the nine months ended September 30, 2005.  This increase in deposit costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was primarily a result of a $60.0 million increase in the average balances of higher cost certificates of deposit and brokered deposit accounts, a $21.6 million increase in average balance of interest bearing checking accounts, and higher short-term market rates.

Interest expense on borrowed funds increased $3.0 million, or 37.1%, to $11.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 from $8.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005.  The average balance of FHLB of Seattle advances was $358.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2006, an increase of $57.6 million from $301.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2005.  In addition to the increased balances, the cost of borrowed funds increased 55 basis points to 4.15% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 from 3.60% for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 as short-term market rates rose.

Provision for Loan Losses.  The following table sets forth an analysis of our allowance for loan losses at the dates and for the periods indicated (dollars in thousands):

|Charge-offs                      | (826)                            |  | (1,119)               |  | 358                  
|Allowance at end of period       | $     8,414                      |  | $    8,729            |  | $    (315)           

Our provision for loan losses was $450,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to $600,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005.  The provision was lower for the current nine month period as a result of improved credit quality of the loan portfolio, as evidenced by fewer charge-offs and a lower delinquency ratio.  The ratio of non-performing assets to total assets and non-performing loans to total loans remained unchanged at 0.02% and 0.03%, respectively.  The provision was recorded at a level considered appropriate to ensure that the allowance for loan loss was adequate to address the inherent credit risk in the loan portfolio.

Our non-interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 increased $1.0 million, or 19.1% to $6.5 million from $5.5 million during the same period a year ago.  This increase was primarily a result of increases in insurance service fees of $1.1 million and real estate lease income of $459,000.  The increase in insurance service fees was primarily a result of the acquisition of the Christopherson-Boze and Holman Insurance Agencies, completed on January 3, 2006.  The Bank's administrative office building was primarily responsible for the $459,000 increase in real estate lease income as the building was fully leased for the entire nine month period in 2006  The building was not fully leased during the nine months ended September 30, 2005.  The $363,000 decrease in the gain on sale of loans was the result of a lower level of single-family residential real estate loan originations and sales during the first nine months of 2006 compared to 2005 as the rising interest rate environment reduced refinancing activity.  Additionally, we experienced a decrease in the gain on sale of premises and equipment of $277,000 primarily related to the sale of our Fawcett branch in the first quarter of 2005, and a decrease in deposit service fees of $188,000 due to a lower incidence rate of overdraft and return item fees.  All other categories of non-interest income reflected a net increase of $279,000.

Non-interest expense increased $1.5 million, or 7.6%, to $21.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 from $20.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The increase during this period was primarily attributable to an increase in compensation and benefits of $1.3 million.  Other changes include a $414,000 increase in occupancy expense and decreases of $129,000 and $90,000 for office operations and marketing, respectively.  All other non-interest expenses reflected a net increase of $78,000.

Compensation and benefits increased $1.3 million, or 11.7%, to $12.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 from $10.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005.  The increased compensation and benefit costs were primarily attributable to three items: $467,000 of costs associated with additional employees hired in connection with the acquisition of the Christopherson-Boze and Holman Insurance Agencies in January 2006, $389,000 for the expensing of previously granted stock options to employees and directors, and $141,000 related to the additional staff costs related to branch openings in August 2005 and July 2006.

Occupancy expense increased $414,000, or 27.1%, to $1.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006.  This increase was primarily a result of a $178,000 increase in the amortization of capitalized tenant and leasehold improvements, an $84,000 increase in utilities expense, a $57,000 increase in rent expense related to the operations of the Christopherson-Boze and Holman Insurance Agencies, and other increases in building maintenance.

Office operations expense decreased $129,000, or 3.1%, to $4.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 from $4.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005.  This decrease was primarily related a decrease in the depreciation of software and computer equipment.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity.

Our primary sources of funds are from customer deposits, loan repayments, loan sales, maturing investment securities, borrowed funds from the FHLB, other collateralized borrowing, and brokered deposits.  These sources of funds, together with retained earnings and equity, are used to make loans, acquire investment securities and other assets, and fund continuing operations.  While maturities and the scheduled amortization of loans are a predictable source of funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by the level of interest rates, economic conditions, and competition.  We believe that our current liquidity position and our forecasted operating results are sufficient to fund all of our existing commitments.

At September 30, 2006, we were in compliance with the collateral requirements of our borrowed funds arrangements.  We maintained a credit facility with the FHLB equal to 50.0% of the Bank's total assets, contingent on the Bank meeting collateral requirements, with an unused portion of the facility amounting to 12.0% of the Bank's total assets, or $107.5 million.   The Bank also established an additional $100.0 million credit line collateralized by specific investment securities with the Fortis Group in May 2006 as an additional source of liquidity.  There were no outstanding balances on this credit line at September 30, 2006.  In addition, we held available-for-sale investment securities and readily saleable loans for liquidity purposes.

<PAGE>

Management believes that we have adequate resources to fund all loan commitments through deposits, borrowing from the FHLB or other sources, the sale of mortgage loans or investments, and brokered deposits.  At September 30, 2006, certificates of deposit (excluding individual retirement account certificates of deposit) amounted to $234.2 million or 51.1% of total deposits, including $44.4 million of brokered deposits which are scheduled to mature and be renewed by December 31, 2006.  We have used brokered deposits and also borrowed from the FHLB to supplement retail deposit funding.  Management also believes that we can adjust the offering rates of certificates of deposit to increase, retain, or decrease deposits in changing interest rate environments.

In addition, the Company repurchased 10,000 shares of its common stock during the quarter ended September 30, 2006.  For information regarding the Company's repurchase plan, see "Common Stock Repurchases" contained in **Item 2 - Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds under Part II - Other Information of this quarterly report.**

Capital.  Consistent with our objective to operate a sound and profitable financial institution, we have maintained and will continue to focus on maintaining a "well capitalized" rating from regulatory authorities.  In addition, we are subject to certain capital requirements set by our regulatory agencies.  As of September 30, 2006, the Bank was classified as a "well capitalized" institution under the criteria established by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and exceeded all minimum capital requirements.  Total equity was $83.8 million at September 30, 2006, or 9.33% of total assets on that date.  Our regulatory capital ratios at September 30, 2006, were as follows:  Tier I leverage of 9.06%; Tier I risk-based capital of 11.60%; and total risk-based capital of 12.80%.

ITEM 3 - Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk



One of our primary financial objectives is to generate ongoing profits.  The Bank's profitability depends primarily on its net interest income, which is the difference between the income it receives on its loan and investment portfolio and its cost of funds, which consists of interest paid on deposits and borrowings.  Net interest income is also affected by the relative amounts of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.  When interest-earning assets increase, any positive interest rate spread will increase net interest income.  Net income is further affected by the level of non-interest income and expenses.  Non-interest income includes items such as service charges and fees on deposit accounts, loan servicing fees, and gains on sale of loans and investments.  Non-interest expenses include items such as compensation and benefits, office operations, outside and professional services, marketing, and other expenses.

The Bank is exposed to interest rate risk and actively manages the impact of interest rate changes on net interest income and capital.  Management employs various strategies to manage the Bank's interest rate sensitivity including: (1) selling long-term fixed-rate mortgage loans; (2) borrowing intermediate- to long-term funds at fixed rates and other structured features; (3) originating consumer and income property or residential construction loans with shorter maturities or at variable rates; (4) purchasing securities with short to intermediate maturities or repricing features; (5) appropriately modifying loan and deposit pricing to capitalize on the then-current market opportunities; and (6) increasing core deposits, such as savings, checking and money-market accounts, in order to reduce our reliance on the traditionally higher cost, more rate sensitive certificates of deposit.  At September 30, 2006, there were no material changes in the Bank's market risk from the information provided in the Company's 2005 Form 10-K which was filed with the SEC on March 10, 2006.

At September 30, 2006, the Bank had no derivative financial instruments.  In addition, the Bank did not maintain a trading account for any class of financial instruments, nor has it engaged in hedging activities or purchased derivative instruments.  Furthermore, the Bank is not subject to foreign currency exchange rate risk or commodity price risk.



ITEM 4 - Controls and Procedures



Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures



An evaluation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Act")) was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and other members of the Company's management team as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report.  Based upon its evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of September 30, 2006, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective, in all material respects, in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Act is (i) accumulated and communicated to the Company's management (including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer) in a timely manner, and (ii) recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms.  However, the Company continues to implement additional controls and processes to strengthen the overall system of internal controls.  See "Changes in Internal Controls" below.

Changes in Internal Controls

During the period covered by this quarterly report, management has implemented changes in the Company's internal controls relating to information technology systems' security and access privileges, segregation of duties, and the related management oversight thereof.  Management does not believe any of the changes made or currently underway in the Company's systems of internal control, or in other factors that could materially affect internal control, have resulted in any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in the Company's internal control subsequent to the date of their most recent evaluation.

The Company does not expect that its disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud.  A control procedure, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control procedure are met.  Because of the inherent limitations in all control procedures, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.  These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns in controls or procedures can occur because of simple error or mistake.  Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control.  The design of any control procedure is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.  Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control procedure, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

Common Stock Repurchases

A bank holding company, except for certain "well-capitalized" and highly rated bank holding companies, is required to give the Federal Reserve prior written notice of any purchase or redemption of its outstanding equity securities if the gross consideration for the purchase or redemption, when combined with the net consideration paid for all such purchases or redemptions during the preceding 12 months, is equal to 10.0% or more of its consolidated net worth.  The Federal Reserve may disapprove such a purchase or redemption if it determines that the proposal would constitute an unsafe or unsound practice or would violate any law, regulation, Federal Reserve order, or any condition imposed by, or written agreement with, the Federal Reserve.

|2. | Based on my knowledge, this report does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which such statements were made, not misleading with respect to the period covered by this report;
