CAUTIONARY INFORMATION CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This annual report on Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements, which are not historical facts and pertain to our future operating results. These statements include, but are not limited to, our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions and are not statements of historical fact. When used in this report, the word expects, believes, anticipates and other similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, which are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. Specific risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, general business and economic conditions, changes in interest rates including timing or relative degree of change, and competitive
uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control. In addition, these forward-looking statements are subject to assumptions with respect to future business conditions, strategies and decisions, and such assumptions are subject to change.

Results may differ materially from the results discussed due to changes in business and economic conditions that negatively affect credit quality, which may be exacerbated by our concentration of operations in the States of Oregon and Idaho generally, including the Oregon communities of Central Oregon, Northwest Oregon, Southern Oregon, and the Idaho communities in Ada, Canyon and Payette counties, specifically. Likewise, competition or changes in interest rates could negatively affect the net interest margin, as could other factors listed from time to time in the Companys Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) reports. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. The Company undertakes no obligation to publish revised forward-looking statements to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events or circumstances after the date
hereof.

PART I

ITEM 1.     BUSINESS

Cascade Bancorp

Cascade Bancorp (Bancorp), is an Oregon chartered Financial Holding Company formed in 1990, with its wholly-owned subsidiary, Bank of the Cascades (the Bank) (collectively, the Company or Cascade) headquartered in Bend, Oregon. The Bank also operates in Idaho under the name of Farmers & Merchants, a Bank of the Cascades company. At December 31, 2006, the Company had total consolidated assets of approximately $2.2 billion, net loans of approximately $1.9 billion and deposits of approximately $1.7 billion.

Cascade Bancorp Statutory Trusts I, II, III and IV.

Cascade Bancorp Statutory Trusts I, II, III and IV are wholly-owned subsidiary trusts of Bancorp formed to facilitate the issuance of Pooled Trust Preferred Securities (trust preferred securities). The trusts were organized in December 2004, March 2006, and June 2006, respectively, in connection with four offerings of trust preferred securities. For more information regarding Bancorps issuance of trust preferred securities, see Note 9 Junior Subordinated Debentures to the Companys audited consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of this report.

The Company is managed by legal entity and not lines of business and therefore reports one principal operating segment. For more information regarding the Companys operating segment, see Note 1 to the Companys consolidated financial statements included under Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.

Business Strategy

Cascade operates in some of the fastest growing markets in the nation. The Companys business strategies include: 1) operate in and expand into growth markets; 2) strive to recruit and retain the best relationship bankers in such markets; 3) consistently deliver the highest levels of customer service, and; 4) apply state-of-the-art technology for the convenience of customers. Cascades mission statement is to deliver the best in community banking for the financial well-being of customers and shareholders.

In terms of banking growth markets, the footprint of Cascades banking franchise ranks as the top community bank footprint in the Northwest and among the top ten banks in the nation1.

Bank of the Cascades

Bank of the Cascades is an Oregon State chartered bank that opened for business in 1977 and now operates 33 branches serving communities in Central, Southwest and Northwest Oregon, as well as in the greater Boise, Idaho area. Bank of the Cascades offers a broad range of commercial and retail banking services to its customers. Lending activities serve small to medium-sized businesses, municipalities and public organizations, professional and consumer relationships. The Bank provides commercial real estate loans, real estate construction and development loans, commercial and industrial loans as well as consumer installment, line-of-credit, credit card, and home equity loans. The Bank originates and services residential mortgage loans that are typically sold on the secondary market. The Bank provides consumer and business deposit services including checking, money market, and time deposit accounts and related payment services,
internet banking and electronic bill payment. In addition, the Bank serves business customer deposit needs with a suite of cash management services. The bank also provides investment and trust related services to its clientele.

With the sustained increase in population and economy within its Oregon markets, the Company has enjoyed rapid growth in assets and profitability over the past decade. More recently, the Company has diversified its geographic footprint by expanding into growth markets in the greater Boise, Idaho area with its April 2006 acquisition of Farmers and Merchants State Bank (discussed below). At year-end 2006, loans and deposits in the Idaho markets

were at $611.6 million and $428.7 million, respectively. This represents 32.4% and 25.8% of Company-wide totals, respectively. With each of its markets expanding at a healthy pace in 2006 and including the acquisition of F&M, Company-wide total loans and total deposits were up 79.8% and 56.0%, respectively, for the year.

Completed Acquisition of F&M Holding Company of Boise, Idaho

On April 20, 2006, the Company completed its acquisition of F&M Holding Company (F&M) of Boise, Idaho and currently operates 12 banking offices in the area.

Under the terms of the merger agreement announced December 27, 2005, the stockholders of F&M received 6,656,249 shares of Company common stock and $22.5 million in cash, less a holdback of $3.9 million to assure credit performance regarding certain loans. The assets and liabilities of F&M were recorded on the Companys consolidated balance sheet at their fair market values as of the acquisition date. F&Ms results of operations have been included in the Companys consolidated statement of income since acquisition date. At December 31, 2006, the holdback amount has been reduced to $3.3 million as certain loans have either paid-off or been upgraded as to credit quality.

Employees

The Company views its employees as an integral resource in achieving its strategies and long term goals, and considers its relationship with its employees to be very strong. Bancorp has no employees other than its executive officers, who are also employees of the Bank. The Company had 573 full-time equivalent employees as of December 31, 2006, up from 336 at the prior year-end. This increase primarily resulted from the acquisition of F&M as well as staff increases in administrative and operating departments to meet growing business volumes. None of the employees of the Company are subject to a collective bargaining agreement.

Risk Management

The Company has risk management policies with respect to identification, assessment, and management of important business risks. Such risks include, but are not limited to, credit quality and loan concentration risks, liquidity risk, interest rate risk, economic and market risk, as well as operating risks such as compliance, disclosure, internal control, legal and reputation risks.

Credit risk management objectives include loan policies and underwriting practices designed to prudently manage credit risk, and monitoring processes to identify and manage loan portfolio concentrations. Funding policies are designed to maintain an appropriate volume and mix of core relationship deposits and time deposit balances to minimize liquidity risk while efficiently funding its loan and investment activities. In addition, the Company also utilizes borrowings from reliable counterparties such as the Federal Home Loan Bank and the Federal Reserve Bank to augment its liquidity. The Company also utilizes brokered deposits as part of its wholesale funding strategies.

The Company monitors and manages its sensitivity to changing interest rates by utilizing simulation analysis and scenario modeling and by adopting asset and liability strategies and tactics to control the volatility of its net interest income in the event of changes in interest rates. Operating related risks are managed through implementation of and adherence to a system of internal controls. Key control processes and procedures are subject to internal and external testing in the course of internal audit and regulatory compliance activities and the Company is subject to the requirements of Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002. While the Company believes its risk management strategies and processes are prudent and appropriate to manage the wide range of risks inherent in its business, there can be no assurance that such strategies and processes will detect, contain, eliminate or prevent risks that could result in adverse financial results in
the future.

Competition

Commercial and consumer banking in Oregon and Idaho are highly competitive businesses. The Company competes principally with other commercial banks, savings and loan associations, credit unions, mortgage companies, brokers and other non-bank financial service providers. In addition to price competition for deposits and loans, competition exists with respect to the scope and type of services offered, customer service levels, convenience, as

5

well as competition in fees and service charges. Improvements in technology, communications and the Internet have intensified delivery channel competition. Competitor behavior may result in heightened competition for banking and financial services and thus affect future profitability.

The Company competes for customers principally through the effectiveness and professionalism of its bankers and its commitment to customer service. In addition, it competes by offering attractive financial products and services, and by the convenient and flexible delivery of those products and services. The Company believes its community banking philosophy, technology investments and focus on small and medium-sized business, professional and consumer accounts, enables it to compete effectively with other financial service providers. In addition, the Companys lending and deposit officers have significant experience in their respective marketplaces. This enables them to maintain close working relationships with their customers. To compete for larger loans, the Bank may participate loans to other financial institutions for customers whose borrowing requirements exceed the Companys lending limits.

Government Policies

The operations of Cascades subsidiaries are affected by state and federal legislative changes and by policies of various regulatory authorities. These policies include, for example, statutory maximum legal lending rates, domestic monetary policies of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, United States fiscal policy, and capital adequacy and liquidity constraints imposed by federal and state regulatory agencies.

Supervision and Regulation

Bancorp and the Bank are extensively regulated under Federal and Oregon law. These laws and regulations are primarily intended to protect depositors and the deposit insurance fund, not shareholders. To the extent that the following information describes statutory or regulatory provisions, it is qualified in its entirety by reference to the particular statutory or regulatory provisions. The operations of the Company may be affected by legislative changes and by the policies of various regulatory authorities. Management is unable to predict the nature or the extent of the effects on its business and earnings that fiscal or monetary policies, economic control or new Federal or State legislation may have in the future.

Bank Holding Company Regulation

Bancorp is a one-bank financial holding company within the meaning of the Bank Holding Company Act (Act), and as such, is subject to regulation, supervision and examination by the Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) Bancorp has been designated a Financial Holding Company as defined in the 1999 Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (see description below), and does not expect such designation to have a material effect on its financial condition or results of operations. Bancorp is required to file annual reports with the FRB and to provide the FRB such additional information as the FRB may require.

The Act requires every bank holding company to obtain the prior approval of the FRB before (1) acquiring, directly or indirectly, ownership or control of any voting shares of another bank or bank holding company if, after such acquisition, it would own or control more than 5% of such shares (unless it already owns or controls the majority of such shares); (2) acquiring all or substantially all of the assets of another bank or bank holding company; or (3) merging or consolidating with another bank holding company. The FRB will not approve any acquisition, merger or consolidation that would have a substantial anticompetitive result, unless the anticompetitive effects of the proposed transaction are clearly outweighed by a greater public interest in meeting the convenience and needs of the community to be served. The FRB also considers capital adequacy and other financial and managerial factors in reviewing acquisitions or
mergers.

With certain exceptions, the Act also prohibits a bank holding company from acquiring or retaining direct or indirect ownership or control of more than 5% of the voting shares of any company which is not a bank or bank holding company, or from engaging directly or indirectly in activities other than those of banking, managing or controlling banks, or providing services for its subsidiaries. The principal exceptions to these prohibitions involve certain non-bank activities, which by statute or by FRB regulation or order, have been identified as activities closely related to the business of banking or of managing or controlling banks. In making this determination, the FRB considers whether the performance of such activities by a bank holding company can be expected to produce benefits

to the public such as greater convenience, increased competition or gains in efficiency in resources, which can be expected to outweigh the risks of possible adverse effects such as decreased or unfair competition, conflicts of interest or unsound banking practices.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002

In July 2002, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the SOX) was enacted with the intent of protecting investors by improving the accuracy and reliability of corporate disclosures. The SOX, among other things: sets standards for director independence; requires enhanced financial disclosures; requires certifications by the chief executive officer and chief financial officer as to the accuracy of financial statements; requires completeness of disclosure and effectiveness of internal controls; provides for greater independence of audit functions; and provides for increased penalties for accounting and auditing improprieties at publicly traded companies. The SOX directs the SEC and securities exchanges to adopt rules that implement these and other requirements. A number of rules have been adopted and continue to be proposed and implemented pursuant to the SOX. Beginning for the year 2004, under section 404 of the Act, Cascade was
required to document, assess, test and certify as to the effectiveness of its system of internal controls. In addition, its independent auditor was required to audit and attest to such controls, and these reports are included in this filing.

USA Patriot Act

Under the USA Patriot Act of 2001, adopted by the U.S. Congress on October 26, 2001 to combat terrorism, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insured banks and commercial banks were required to increase their due diligence efforts for correspondent accounts and private banking customers. The USA Patriot Act requires the Bank to engage in additional record keeping or reporting, requiring identification of owners of accounts, or of the customers of foreign banks with accounts, and restricts or prohibits certain correspondent accounts.

Office of Foreign Assets Control Regulation

The United States has imposed economic sanctions that affect transactions with designated foreign countries, nationals and others. These are typically known as the OFAC rules based on their administration by the U.S. Treasury Department Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC). The OFAC-administered sanctions targeting countries take many different forms. Generally, however, they contain one or more of the following elements: (i) restrictions on trade with or investment in a sanctioned country, including prohibitions against direct or indirect imports from and exports to a sanctioned country and prohibitions on U.S. persons engaging in financial transactions relating to making investments in, or providing investment-related advice or assistance to, a sanctioned country; and (ii) a blocking of assets in which the government or specially designated nationals of the sanctioned country have an
interest, by prohibiting transfers of property subject to U.S. jurisdiction (including property in the possession or control of U.S. persons). Blocked assets (e.g., property and bank deposits) cannot be paid out, withdrawn, set off or transferred in any manner without a license from OFAC. Failure to comply with these sanctions could have serious legal and reputational consequences.

Financial Modernization Act

On November 12, 1999 the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act became law, repealing the 1933 Glass-Steagall Acts separation of the commercial and investment banking industries. The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act expands the range of nonbanking activities a bank holding company may engage in, while reserving existing authority for bank holding companies to engage in activities that are closely related to banking. This legislation creates a new category of holding company called a Financial Holding Company, a subset of bank holding companies that satisfy the following criteria:

- all of the depository institution subsidiaries must be well capitalized and well managed;
- the holding company must file a declaration with the Federal Reserve Board that it elects to be a financial holding company to engage in activities that would not have been permissible before the Gramm-Leach- Bliley Act; and
- all of the depository institution subsidiaries must have a Community Reinvestment Act rating of satisfactory or better.

7

---

Financial holding companies may engage in any activity that: (1) is financial in nature or incidental to such financial activity; (2) is complementary to a financial activity and does not pose a substantial risk to the safety and soundness of depository institutions or the financial system generally. The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act specifies certain activities that are financial in nature. These activities include:

- acting as a principal, agent or broker for insurance;
- underwriting, dealing in or making a market in securities; and
- providing financial and investment advice.

The Federal Reserve Board and the Secretary of the Treasury have authority to decide whether other activities are also financial in nature or incidental to financial activity, taking into account changes in technology, changes in the banking marketplace and competition for banking services.

Federal and State Bank Regulation

The Bank is an FDIC insured bank which is not a member of the Federal Reserve System, is subject to the supervision and regulation of the State of Oregon Department of Consumer and Business Services, Division of Finance and Corporate Securities, and the Idaho Department of Finance, respectively, and to the supervision and regulation of the FDIC. These agencies may prohibit the Bank from engaging in what they believe constitute unsafe or unsound banking practices.

The Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) requires that, in connection with examinations of financial institutions within their jurisdiction, the FRB or the FDIC evaluate the record of the financial institutions in meeting the credit needs of their local communities, including low and moderate income neighborhoods, consistent with the safe and sound operation of those banks. These factors are also considered in evaluating mergers, acquisitions and applications to open a branch or facility. The current CRA rating of the Bank is Satisfactory.

The Bank is subject to certain restrictions imposed by the Federal Reserve Act on extensions of credit to executive officers, directors, principal shareholders or any related interest of such persons. Extensions of credit: (1) must be made on substantially the same terms, collateral and following credit underwriting procedures that are not less stringent than those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with persons not described above; and (2) must not involve more than the normal risk of repayment or present other unfavorable features. The Bank is also subject to certain lending limits and restrictions on overdrafts to such persons. A violation of these restrictions may result in the assessment of substantial civil monetary penalties on the bank or any officer, director, employee, agent or other person participating in the conduct of the affairs of the bank, the imposition of a cease and desist order, and other
regulatory sanctions.

Under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act (FDICIA), each Federal banking agency is required to prescribe by regulation, non-capital safety and soundness standards for institutions under its authority. These standards are to cover internal controls, information systems and internal audit systems, loan documentation, credit underwriting, interest rate exposure, asset growth, compensation, fees and benefits, such other operational and managerial standards as the agency determines to be appropriate, and standards for asset quality, earnings and stock valuation. An institution, which fails to meet these standards, must develop a plan acceptable to the agency, specifying the steps that the institution will take to meet the standards. Failure to submit or implement such a plan may subject the institution to regulatory sanctions. The Company believes that the Bank meets substantially all the standards that
have been adopted.

Interstate Banking Legislation

Under the Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994 (Riegle-Neal Act), as amended, a bank holding company may acquire banks in states other than its home state, subject to certain limitations. The Riegle-Neal Act also authorizes banks to merge across state lines, thereby creating interstate branches. Banks are also permitted to acquire and to establish de novo branches in other states where authorized under the laws of those states.

Federal Deposit Insurance Reform Act of 2005

The Federal Deposit Insurance Reform Act of 2005 (Reform Act) was signed into law on February 8, 2006 and amended current laws regarding the federal deposit insurance system. The legislation merged the Bank Insurance Fund and the Savings Association Insurance Fund to form the Deposit Insurance Fund (DIF), eliminated any disparities in bank and thrift risk-based premium assessments, reduced the administrative burden of maintaining and operating two separate funds and established certain new insurance coverage limits and a mechanism for possible periodic increases. The legislation also gave the FDIC greater discretion to identify the relative risks all institutions present to the DIF and to set risk-based premiums.

Major provisions in the legislation include:

- merging the Savings Association Insurance Fund and Bank Insurance Fund, which became effective March 31, 2006;
- maintaining basic deposit and municipal account insurance coverage at $100,000 but providing for a new basic insurance coverage for retirement accounts of $250,000. Insurance coverage for basic deposit and retirement accounts could be increased for inflation every five years in $10,000 increments beginning in 2011;
- providing the FDIC with the ability to set the designated reserve ratio within a range of between 1.15% and 1.50%, rather than maintaining 1.25% at all times regardless of prevailing economic conditions;
- providing a one-time assessment credit of $4.7 billion to banks and savings associations in existence on December 31, 1996, which may be used to offset future premiums with certain limitations;
- requiring the payment of dividends of 100% of the amount that the insurance fund exceeds 1.5% of the estimated insured deposits and the payment of 50% of the amount that the insurance fund exceeds 1.35% of the estimated insured deposits (when the reserve is greater than 1.35% but no more than 1.5%); and
- providing for a new risk-based assessment system and allows the FDIC to establish separate risk-based assessment systems for large and small members of the DIF.

On November 2, 2006, the FDIC set the designated reserve ratio for the deposit insurance fund at 1.25% of estimated insured deposits, and adopted final regulations to implement the risk-based deposit insurance assessment system mandated by the Reform Act, which is intended to more closely tie each banks deposit insurance assessments to the risk it poses to the deposit insurance fund. Under the new risk-based assessment system, the FDIC will evaluate each institutions risk based on three primary factors -- supervisory ratings for all insured institution, financial ratios for most institutions, and long-term debt issuer ratings for large institutions that have them. An institutions assessment rate will depend upon the level of risk it poses to the deposit insurance system as measured by these factors. The new rates for most institutions will vary between 5 and 7 cents for every $100 of domestic insurable deposits.
The Banks new rate effective January 1, 2007 is 5 cents.

The new assessment rates took effect at the beginning of 2007. However, the Reform Act provides credits to institutions that paid high premiums in the past to bolster the FDICs insurance reserves, as a result of which the FDIC has announced that a majority of banks will have assessment credits to initially offset a proportion of their premiums in 2007. Management has reviewed the information supplied by the FDIC and expects the insurance costs to increase approximately $600,000 for 2007 based upon the one-time assessment credit net of the increase in ongoing premiums.

Insurance of Accounts and Regulation by the FDIC

The Bank is a member of the DIF, which is administered by the FDIC. The FDIC insures deposits up to the applicable limits and this insurance is backed by the full faith and credit of the United States government. As insurer, the FDIC imposes deposit insurance premiums and is authorized to conduct examinations of and to require reporting by FDIC-insured institutions. It also may prohibit any FDIC-insured institution from engaging in any activity the FDIC determines by regulation or order to pose a serious risk to the FDIC. The FDIC also has the authority to initiate

9

---

enforcement actions against savings institutions, after giving the FDIC an opportunity to take such action, and may terminate the deposit insurance if it determines that the institution has engaged in unsafe or unsound practices or is in an unsafe or unsound condition.

The FDICs deposit insurance premiums are assessed through a risk-based system under which all insured depository institutions are placed into one of nine categories and assessed insurance premiums based upon their level of capital and supervisory evaluation. Under the system, institutions classified as well capitalized (i.e., a core capital ratio of at least 5%, a ratio of Tier 1 or core capital to risk-weighted assets (Tier 1 risk-based capital) of at least 6% and a risk-based capital ratio of at least 10%) and considered healthy, pay the lowest premiums while institutions that are less than adequately capitalized (i.e., core or Tier 1 risk-based capital ratios of less than 4% or a risk-based capital ratio of less than 8%) and considered of substantial supervisory concern pay the highest premiums. Risk classification of all insured institutions is made by the FDIC for each semi-annual assessment period. The
Reform Act authorizes the FDIC to revise its current risk-based system, subject to public notice and comment, although no deadline was given by Congress for the creation or implementation of such regulations.

DIF-insured institutions are required to pay a Financing Corporation (FICO) assessment, in order to fund the interest on bonds issued to resolve thrift failures in the 1980s. The assessment rate for the fourth quarter of 2006 was 0.0122% of insured deposits and is adjusted quarterly. These assessments, which may be revised based upon the level of DIF deposits, will continue until the FICO bonds mature in the years 2017 through 2019. The Banks FICO assessment expense for 2006 was approximately $179,000, and management expects the 2007 expense to be comparable to 2006.

Prompt Corrective Action

The FDIC is required to take certain supervisory actions against undercapitalized savings institutions, the severity of which depends upon the institutions degree of undercapitalization. Generally, an institution that has a ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets of less than 8%, a ratio of Tier I (core) capital to risk-weighted assets of less than 4%, or a ratio of core capital to total assets of less than 4% (3% or less for institutions with the highest examination rating) is considered to be undercapitalized. An institution that has a total risk-based capital ratio less than 6%, a Tier I capital ratio of less than 3% or a leverage ratio that is less than 3% is considered to be significantly undercapitalized and an institution that has a tangible capital to assets ratio equal to or less than 2% is deemed to be critically undercapitalized. Subject to a narrow exception, the FDIC is required to appoint a receiver or
conservator for a savings institution that is critically undercapitalized. FDIC regulations also require that a capital restoration plan be filed with the FDIC within 45 days of the date a savings institution receives notice that it is undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized or critically undercapitalized. Compliance with the plan must be guaranteed by any parent holding company in an amount of up to the lesser of 5% of the institutions assets or the amount which would bring the institution into compliance with all capital standards. In addition, numerous mandatory supervisory actions become immediately applicable to an undercapitalized institution, including, but not limited to, increased monitoring by regulators and restrictions on growth, capital distributions and expansion. The FDIC also could take any one of a number of discretionary supervisory actions, including the issuance of a capital directive and the replacement of senior executive officers and directors.

At December 31, 2006, the Bank was categorized as well capitalized under the prompt corrective action regulations of the FDIC.

Regulatory Capital

The Federal bank regulatory agencies use capital adequacy guidelines in their examination and regulation of bank holding companies and banks. If the capital falls below the minimum levels established by these guidelines, the bank holding company or bank may be denied approval to acquire or establish additional banks or non-bank businesses or to open facilities. At December 31, 2006, the Company is considered well capitalized.

The FRB and FDIC promulgate risk-based capital guidelines for banks and bank holding companies. Risk-based capital guidelines are designed to make capital requirements sensitive to differences in risk profiles among banks and bank holding companies, to account for off-balance sheet exposure and to minimize disincentives for holding liquid assets. Assets and off-balance sheet items are assigned to broad risk categories, each with appropriate weights. The resulting capital ratios represent capital as a percentage of total risk-weighted assets and off-balance

10

---

sheet items. The guidelines are minimums, and the FRB has noted that bank holding companies contemplating significant expansion programs should not allow expansion to diminish their capital ratios and should maintain ratios well in excess of the minimum. The current guidelines require all bank holding companies and banks to maintain a minimum risk-based total capital ratio equal to 8%, of which at least 4% must be Tier 1 capital.

Tier 1 capital for bank holding companies includes common stockholders equity, qualifying perpetual preferred stock (up to 25% of total Tier 1 capital, if cumulative; under a FRB rule, redeemable perpetual preferred stock may not be counted as Tier 1 capital unless the redemption is subject to the prior approval of the FRB) and minority interests in equity accounts of consolidated subsidiaries, less intangibles. Tier 2 capital includes: (1) the allowance for loan losses of up to 1.25% of risk-weighted assets; (2) any qualifying perpetual preferred stock which exceeds the amount which may be included in Tier 1 capital; (3) hybrid capital instrument; (4) perpetual debt; (5) mandatory convertible securities, and; (6) subordinated debt and intermediate term preferred stock of up to 50% of Tier 1 capital. Total capital is the sum of Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital less reciprocal holdings of other banking organizations, capital
instruments and investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries.

Banks and bank holding companies assets are given risk-weights of 0%, 20%, 50% and 100%. In addition, certain off-balance sheet items are given credit conversion factors to convert them to asset equivalent amounts to which an appropriate risk-weight will apply. These computations result in the total risk-weighted assets.

Loans are generally assigned to the 100% risk category, except for first mortgage loans fully secured by residential property, which carry a 50% rating. The Companys investment securities, mainly U.S. Government sponsored agency obligations, are assigned to the 20% category, except for municipal or state revenue bonds, which have a 50% risk-weight, and direct obligations of or obligations fully guaranteed by the United States Treasury or United States Government, which have 0% risk-weight. Off-balance sheet items, direct credit substitutes, including general guarantees and standby letters of credit backing financial obligations, are given a 100% conversion factor. Transaction related contingencies such as bid bonds, other standby letters of credit and undrawn commitments, including commercial credit lines with an initial maturity of more than one year, have a 50% conversion factor. Short-term, self-liquidating trade
contingencies are converted at 20%, and short-term commitments have a 0% factor.

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

At December 31, 2006, the Companys leverage, Tier 1 capital and Total risked-based capital ratios were 9.82%, 9.99% and 11.26%, respectively.

The FDICIA also created a new statutory framework of supervisory actions indexed to the capital level of the individual institution. Under regulations adopted by the FDIC, an institution is assigned to one of five capital categories depending on its total risk-based capital ratio, Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio, and leverage ratio, together with certain subjective factors. Institutions that are deemed undercapitalized, depending on the category to which they are assigned, are subject to certain mandatory supervisory corrective actions. At December 31, 2006, Cascade is considered well-capitalized.

State Regulations Concerning Cash Dividends

Bancorp.The principal source of Bancorps cash revenues have been provided from dividends received from the Bank. The Oregon banking laws impose the following limitations on the payment of dividends by Oregon state chartered banks. The amount of the dividend shall not be greater than its unreserved retained earnings, deducting from that, to the extent not already charged against earnings or reflected in a reserve, the following: (1) all bad debts, which are debts on which interest is past due and unpaid for at least six months, unless the debt is fully secured and in the process of collection; (2) all other assets charged off as required by the Director of the Department of Consumer and Business Services or a state or federal examiner; (3) all accrued expenses, interest and taxes of the institution.

11

---

In addition, the appropriate regulatory authorities are authorized to prohibit banks and bank holding companies from paying dividends, which would constitute an unsafe or unsound banking practice. The Bank and Bancorp are not currently subject to any regulatory restrictions on their dividends other than those noted above.

Check 21

The Check Clearing for the 21st Century Act, or Check 21 as it is commonly known, became effective October 28, 2004. Check 21 facilitates check collection by creating a new negotiable instrument called a substitute check, which permits, but does not require, banks to replace original checks with substitute checks and process check information electronically. Banks that do use substitute checks must comply with certain notice and recredit rights. Check 21 has reduced the time and cost involved in physically transporting paper items and improved float, i.e. the time between the deposit of a check in a bank and the banks receipt of payment for that check. The Bank utilizes the Check 21 authority and currently possesses technology necessary to process and exchange check information electronically.

ITEM 1A.     RISK FACTORS

There are a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the Companys control that could have a material adverse impact on the Companys financial condition or results of operations. The Company describes below the most significant of these risks and uncertainties. These should not be viewed as an all inclusive list or in any particular order.

Detailed discussions of the specific risks outlined in this section and other risks facing the Company are included within this Form 10-K in Part I, Item 1 Business, and Part II, Item 7 Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. Please see the Companys cautionary statements as to Forward-Looking Statements for further description of certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions identified by management that are difficult to predict and that could materially affect the Companys financial condition and results of operations.

Adverse changes in economic growth and vitality in the Companys banking markets may negatively impact the Company.

The Companys business is closely tied to the economies of Idaho and Oregon in general and is particularly affected by the economies of Central, Southern and Northwest Oregon, as well as the Greater Boise, Idaho area. A sustained economic downturn could adversely affect the Companys financial condition or results of operations.

The Company has a concentration in real estate lending. A sustained downturn in real estate within the Companys markets could negatively impact the Company.

Many of the Companys loans are secured by real estate located in Oregon and Idaho. If these locales experience an economic downturn that adversely affects real estate values and customers ability to repay, loan losses may exceed the estimates that are currently included in the reserve for loan losses, which could adversely affect financial results and shareholder value.

12

---

The Companys reserve for loan losses and unfunded commitments may not be adequate to cover actual loan losses.

The risk of nonpayment of loans is inherent in all lending activities, and nonpayment, if it occurs, may have an adverse effect on the Companys financial condition or results of operation. The Company maintains a reserve for loan losses to absorb estimated probable loan losses inherent in the loan and commitment portfolios as of the balance sheet date. In determining the level of the reserve, management makes various assumptions and judgments about the loan portfolio. If the Companys assumptions are incorrect, the reserve for loan losses may not be sufficient to cover losses, which could adversely affect the Companys financial condition or results of operations.

The inability to attract or retain key banking employees could adversely affect revenues and net income.

The Company strives to attract and retain key banking professionals, management and staff to achieve its growth goals. Banking related revenues and net income could be adversely affected in the event of a loss of key personnel.

Changes in interest rates could adversely impact the Company.

The Companys earnings are highly dependent on the difference between the interest earned on loans and investments and the interest paid on deposits and borrowings. Changes in market interest rates impact the rates earned on loans and investment securities and the rates paid on deposits and borrowings. In addition, changes to the market interest rates may impact the level of loans, deposits and investments, and the credit quality of existing loans. These rates may be affected by many factors beyond the Companys control, including general and economic conditions and the monetary and fiscal policies of various governmental and regulatory authorities. Changes in interest rates may negatively impact the Companys ability to attract deposits, make loans and achieve satisfactory interest rate spreads, which could adversely affect the Companys financial condition or results of operations.

The Company is subject to extensive regulation.

The Companys operations are subject to extensive regulation by federal and state banking authorities which impose requirements and restrictions on the Companys operations. The impact of changes to laws and regulations or other actions by regulatory agencies could make regulatory compliance more difficult or expensive for the Company and could adversely affect the Companys financial condition or results of operations.

Competition may adversely affect the Company.

The Company faces competition for its services from a variety of competitors. The Companys future growth and success depends on its ability to compete effectively. The Company competes for deposits, loans and other financial services with numerous financial service providers including banks, thrifts, credit unions, mortgage companies, broker dealers, and insurance companies. Competition could adversely affect the Companys financial condition or results of operations.

Our information systems may experience an interruption or breach in security.

We rely heavily on communications and information systems to conduct our business. Any failure, interruption or breach in security of these systems could result in failures or disruptions in our customer relationship management, general ledger, deposit, loan and other systems. While we have policies and procedures designed to prevent or limit the effect of the possible failure, interruption or security breach of our information systems, there can be no assurance that any such failures, interruptions or security breaches will not occur or, if they do occur, that they will be adequately addressed. The occurrence of any failures, interruptions or security breaches of our information systems could damage our reputation, result in a loss of customer business, subject us to additional regulatory scrutiny, or expose us to civil litigation and possible financial liability, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial
condition and results of operations.

We continually encounter technological change.

The financial services industry is continually undergoing rapid technological change with frequent introductions of new technology-driven products and services. The effective use of technology increases efficiency and enables financial institutions to better serve customers and to reduce costs. Our future success depends, in part, upon our ability to address the needs of our customers by using technology to provide products and services that will satisfy customer demands, as well as to create additional efficiencies in our operations. Our largest competitors

13

---

have substantially greater resources to invest in technological improvements. We may not be able to effectively implement new technology-driven products and services or be successful in marketing these products and services to our customers. Failure to successfully keep pace with technological change affecting the financial services industry could have a material adverse impact on our business and, in turn, our financial condition and results of operations.

The Companys controls and procedures may fail or be circumvented.

Management regularly reviews and updates the Companys internal controls, disclosure controls and procedures, and corporate governance policies and procedures. Any system of controls, however well designed and operated, is based in part on certain assumptions and can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurances that the objectives of the system are met.

ITEM 2.     PROPERTIES

At December 31, 2006, the Company conducted full-service community banking through 33 branches, including eleven in Central Oregon, four in the Salem/Keizer area, five in Southern Oregon and one office in Portland. In addition, Cascade operates 12 branches serving the Boise, Idaho/Treasure Valley market under the name Farmers & Merchants Bank, a Bank of the Cascades company.

In Oregon, Cascades main office and three other branch buildings are owned and are situated on leased land. The Bank owns the land and buildings at seven branch locations. The Bank leases the land and buildings at eleven branch locations. In addition, the Bank leases space for the Operations and Information Systems departments located in Bend. All leases include multiple renewal options.

In Idaho, Cascade owns the land and buildings at nine branch locations and leases the land and building at two branch locations. A 12thbranch opened in the Boise, Idaho area in August 2006, in which the land and building are leased.

Cascades main office is located at 1100 NW Wall Street, Bend, Oregon, and consists of approximately 15,000 square feet (sq. ft.). The building is owned by the Bank and is situated on leased land. The ground lease term is for 30 years and commenced June 1, 1989. There are ten renewal options of five years each. The current rent is $6,084 per month with adjustments every five years by mutual agreement of landlord and tenant. The main bank branch occupies the ground floor. Human Resources and Executive Offices occupy approximately 8,400 square feet. A separate drive-up facility is also located on this site, which also houses the Finance and Marketing departments.

The Bank currently owns the Cascade Building in the Old Mill district of Bend, which contains approximately 21,800 sq. ft. of space of which the Bank occupies 2,000 sq. ft. The remaining space is now fully leased by non-bank commercial businesses. Partners in the construction of this building have provided the intent to exercise their option to purchase the building from the Company at a cost-plus price basis. The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2007. The Company will then lease back space occupied by the Bank.

In 2004, the Bank purchased the Boyd Building with 26,035 square feet in downtown Bend. This building is now occupied by Credit Services, Mortgage Division and Trust/Private Financial Services. Including Bank use, the space is near full occupancy.

In the opinion of management, all of the Banks properties are adequately insured, its facilities are in good condition and together with any anticipated improvements and additions, are adequate to meet it operating needs for the foreseeable future.

ITEM 6.     SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

The following tables present certain financial and statistical information with respect to the Company for the periods indicated. Most of the information is required by Guide 3, Statistical Disclosure by Bank Holding Companies, published by the SEC. At the beginning of each table, information is presented as to the nature of data disclosed in the table.

Critical Accounting Policies

Critical accounting policies are defined as those that are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties, and could potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. We believe that our most critical accounting policies upon which our financial condition depends, and which involve the most complex or subjective decisions or assessments are as follows:

Reserve for Loan Losses:Arriving at an appropriate level of reserve for loan losses involves a high degree of judgment and assessment of multiple variables that result in relatively complex calculations and analysis. The Companys reserve for loan losses provides for probable losses based upon evaluations of known and inherent risks in the loan portfolio. Management uses historical information to assess the adequacy of the reserve for loan losses as well as the prevailing business environment. The reserve may be affected by changing economic conditions and various external factors, which may impact the portfolio in ways currently unforeseen. The reserve is increased by provisions for loan losses and by recoveries of loans previously charged-off and reduced by loans charged-off. For a full discussion of the Companys methodology of assessing the adequacy of the
reserve for loan losses, see Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10K.

Mortgage Servicing Rights (MSRs):Determination of the fair value of MSRs requires the estimation of multiple interdependent variables, the most impactful of which is mortgage prepayment speeds. Prepayment speeds are estimates of the pace and magnitude of future mortgage payoff or refinance behavior of customers whose loans are serviced by the Company. Errors in estimation of prepayment speeds or other key servicing variables could subject MSRs to impairment risk. On a quarterly basis, the Company engages a qualified third party to provide an estimate of the fair value of MSRs using a discounted cash flow model with assumptions and estimates based upon observable market-based data and methodology common to the mortgage servicing market. Management believes it applies reasonable assumptions under the circumstances, however, because of possible volatility in the market price of MSRs, and the
vagaries of any relatively illiquid market, there can be no assurance that risk management and existing accounting practices will result in the avoidance of possible impairment charges in future periods. See also Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations-Non-Interest Income, and footnote 6 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

|ITEM 7. |  | MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
|------- |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As outlined in guidance from the SEC, the objective of the following discussion is to help investors and other interested parties to see the Company through the eyes of management; to assist in providing context within which financial information can be better analyzed; and to provide information as to the quality and variability of the Companys earnings and cash flows such that the investor can more easily ascertain the likelihood whether past performance is indicative of future performance.

This discussion highlights key information as determined by management but may not contain all of the information that is important to you. For a more complete understanding, the following should be read in conjunction with the Companys audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto as of December 31, 2006 and 2005 and for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2006 included elsewhere in this report.

HIGHLIGHTS AND SUMMARY OF PERFORMANCE

Overview & Business Strategy

Management and directors of Cascade have developed and implemented long-term goals and strategies with the objective of achieving sustainable double-digit EPS growth for its shareholders while progressively serving the banking and financial needs of its customers and communities. The Companys business strategy includes: 1) operate in and expand into growth markets; 2) strive to recruit and retain the best relationship bankers in such markets; 3) consistently deliver the highest levels of customer service, and; 4) apply state-of-the-art technology for the convenience of customers.

The Companys original market was Central Oregon, whose population has grown in the 96th percentile of the nation due largely to in-migration of those seeking the quality of life offered by the region. The region has natural high-desert beauty, bountiful recreational and cultural choices, good weather, and premier healthcare services. The Company and Bank have grown with the community during the last 30 years, to a point of holding a 33% deposit share of this fast growing market. The combination of a fast growing economy and powerful market share contributed to sustained high performance over the past decade. In recent years, management has sought to augment its banking footprint by expanding into other attractive Oregon markets, including Northwest and Southwest Oregon. Banking locations in these two markets were opened in mid-2003, and during 2004 attained breakeven after less than one year of operation. At December 31,
2006, loans and deposits in these markets total a combined 32% and 21%, respectively of total Company balances. In April of 2006 Cascade acquired F&M. Headquartered in Boise, Idaho, F&M held the top community bank deposit market share of 6.9% in Ada County at that time. At December 31, 2006, F&M held loans and deposits of approximately 32% and 26%, respectively of total Company balances. This expansion furthered the diversification of Company banking business into multiple states and markets. The following table reflects the strong and sustained growth and returns the Company has achieved:

Key Performance Indicators

The Company has established the following performance goals: 1) consistently exceed 12% growth in EPS; 2) consistently exceed 15% return on equity; 3) identify and prudently manage credit and business risk; 4) strive to profitably diversify revenue sources and markets, and; 5) deliver advanced technology for the benefit of its customers. In order to achieve these goals, the Company has established key measures that specify annual and multi-year growth targets for loans and deposits, set benchmarks for its credit quality and the net interest margin. In addition, non-financial measurements are set with respect to sales and customer relationship and retention goals to assist management in directing and monitoring results.

Highlights - 2006 Financial Performance

(The following results include the effect of acquisition of F&M on April 20, 2006)

- Earnings Per Share up 29.9% at $1.34 with net income up 59.0% at $35.7 million
- Loan Growth up 79.8% year-over-year
- Deposit Growth up 55.8% year-over-year
- Net Interest Margin 5.73% vs. 5.67% year-over-year
- Solid Credit Quality with delinquent loans at .18% of total loans; net charge-offs at .08%

The Company reported 2006 full year Diluted Earnings Per Share (EPS) at $1.34 per share up 29.9% as compared to 2005 with net income at $35.7 million versus $22.4 million for 2005, largely due to Cascades acquisition of F&M on April 20, 2006.

For the fourth quarter of 2006 EPS was $0.36, up 13.8% from the year ago quarter and as compared to $0.37 for the prior quarter (which included an approximated $.01 EPS gain on sale of investment securities). While Cascades fourth quarter loan and deposit growth has typically slowed as the summer construction and tourism season abates, it appears a slowing in the level of real estate activity contributed to this pattern, leading to relatively flat loan and deposit balances, as well as compression of the net interest margin when compared to the prior quarter (see discussion below). Return on equity was 15.93% for the fourth quarter of 2006 and 17.48% for the full year 2006. Return on assets continued well above peer banks at 1.80% for the final quarter of 2006 and 1.86% for the full year 2006.

Loan growth and credit quality

At December 31, 2006, the Banks loan portfolio had grown to $1.9 billion, up 79.8% compared to a year ago. This increase was due to a combination of organic growth in the Companys Oregon market (22% year-over-year) augmented by the addition of F&M loan volumes. Since the close of the acquisition in April 2006, the Idaho loan portfolio has expanded at a 32% annualized pace. However, with a seasonal slowing in the pace of construction and real estate activity during the fourth quarter, combined loan volumes grew at a 3.2% (annualized) pace when compared to the immediately preceding quarter. Management believes the national and regional softening in the pace of real estate activity may have amplified the expected seasonal slowing in loan growth in the fourth quarter.

Credit quality metrics remains very strong at the Bank and better than peer bank levels. Delinquencies and non-performing assets have increased from historically low levels in part due to softening real estate markets. Non-performing assets were $3.0 million at year end, up from $1.8 million at September 30, 2006. Delinquent loans greater than 30 days past due were at .18% of total loans compared to .09% at September 30, 2006, with the increase centered in a single credit. Meanwhile, fourth quarter net loan charge-offs were .17% (annualized) of total loans as compared to .08% and .06% for the prior quarter and prior year ends, respectively.

The Banks provision for loan losses and commitments was $1.5 million for the fourth quarter, bringing the full year provision to $6 million. The reserve for loan (and commitment) losses totaled 1.42% of loans at year end, compared to 1.40% a year earlier and 1.39% at the prior quarter end. Of this aggregate amount, the portion classified as a reserve for loan commitments is approximately .17% of gross loans. This amount is included in accrued interest and other liabilities in the accompanying 2006 consolidated financial statements. Management believes these reserves are at an appropriate level based upon its evaluation and analysis of portfolio credit quality and prevailing economic conditions.

Deposit growth

At December 31, 2006, deposits were $1.7 billion, up 55.8% from prior year end. Much of this increase arose from the acquisition of F&M in April. On a linked quarter basis, total deposits were up 7.9% (annualized), but excluding increased brokered deposit balances, customer deposits were 4.8% below that of prior quarter end. This decline in part reflects the end of the peak summer and fall tourism and construction season wherein deposit growth flattens through the winter quarter. However, management believes the nationwide slowing in the velocity of real estate activity contributed to the fourth quarters deposit weakness. At year end, Cascades customers who businesses are engaged in various aspects of real estate such as construction, mortgage, escrow and realty show a reduction in average and end of period deposit balances as compared to the prior quarter. This is particularly evident in overall balances of
non-interest bearing deposits which fell 8.1% between September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2006, with Central Oregon, Southern Oregon and Idaho regions showing declines. Underscoring this development, such balances fell from 34.0% of total deposits during the third quarter of 2006 to 30.7% for the fourth quarter, yet customer account retention and acquisition has been solid during this period.

Idaho (F&M) region fourth quarter average deposits were essentially flat as compared to Q3 2006, and appear to have stabilized after some runoff in higher priced deposits related to the acquisition. The F&M banking team is well positioned to expand market share with the introduction of cash management and business depository strategies into the Idaho market over the coming year. Over the past several years, Cascade has made it a top priority to expand and strengthen its team of professional banking specialists who focus on delivering premier business depository services to a targeted customer base. As of year end 2006, F&M deposit balances fell by approximately $24 million as compared to September 30, 2006. This change was the result of repositioning several large customers into non-deposit investment alternatives offered by Cascade.

Non-interest income and expense

Non-interest income for 2006 was $18.2 million, 38.9% above the prior year, including service fee income which was at $8.0 million, up 29.2% from the prior year largely owing to the F&M combination. For the full year 2006, residential mortgage originations totaled $176.6 million, up 11.2% when compared to $158.8 million in 2005. Related net mortgage revenue was $3.0 million, an increase of 34.0% compared to $2.3 million for the previous year. However, fourth quarter net mortgage revenue of $.8 million was slightly less than third quarter of $.9 million as a result of the slowing velocity of real estate transactions.

Non-interest expense for the year increased 54.9% compared to 2005 and 4th quarter expenses were 64.1% above the year ago quarter as a result of the acquisition of F&M. When compared to the immediately preceding quarter, non-interest expense expanded at a 13.6% annualized pace with the addition of staff positions to support Cascades infrastructure and ongoing growth goals.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS-Years ended December 31, 2006, 2005, and 2004

Net Interest Income/Net Interest Margin

With the acquisition of F&M and ongoing loan growth in its Oregon markets, net interest income increased 65.0% in 2006 or $38.7 million as compared to 2005. Higher market interest rates contributed to this increase, as yields increased on a larger base of earning assets, exceeding the higher cost of funds on incremental liability balances. Similarly, net interest income increased 29.4% in 2005 as compared to 2004. Yields earned on assets increased to 8.07% for 2006, as compared to 6.92% in 2005 and 6.35% in 2004. Meanwhile, the average rates paid on interest bearing liabilities for 2006 increased to 3.42% in 2006 from 2.07% in 2005 and 1.00% in 2004.

Primarily because of higher loan volumes and yields, total interest income increased approximately $65.8 million (or 90.3%) for 2006. Increased volumes of interest bearing deposits and borrowings in conjunction with higher interest rates paid caused total interest expense to increase approximately $27.0 million (or 203.5%) for 2006 as compared to the prior year.

The Companys net interest margin (NIM) increased to 5.73% for 2006, as compared to 5.67% for 2005. However, the Company reported an easing in the NIM to 5.54% for the fourth quarter of 2006, compared to 5.71% for the preceding quarter and 5.66% for the year ago quarter. The recent easing in the NIM was primarily a function of higher overall cost of funds as consequence of the decline in average non-interest bearing deposits discussed above. Because of lower non-interest bearing deposit volumes, the Company increased its usage of wholesale funding sources at higher market rates of interest for the quarter.

The average cost of funds paid on interest bearing liabilities for the fourth quarter of 2006 was 3.85% as compared to 3.64% in the preceding quarter and 2.42% a year ago. Yields on earning assets during the fourth quarter of 2006 were modestly higher at 8.28% compared to 8.22% in the immediately preceding quarter and 7.09% in the year ago quarter. Looking forward, management expects the net interest margin may continue to ease as a result of ongoing competitive pricing pressures and persistent flat yield curve that can affect both rate and mix of funding sources.

The margin can also be affected by factors beyond market interest rates, including loan or deposit volume shifts and/or aggressive rate offerings by competitor institutions. The Companys financial model indicates a relatively stable interest rate risk profile within a reasonable range of rate movements around the forward rates currently predicted by financial markets. Because of its relatively high proportion of non-interest bearing funds, the Companys NIM is most adversely affected in the unlikely event Federal funds rate falls to a very low level. (See item 7A below).

Analysis of Changes in Interest Income and Expense

For most financial institutions, including the Company, the primary component of earnings is net interest income. Net interest income is the difference between interest income earned, principally from loans and investment securities portfolio, and interest paid, principally on customer deposits and borrowings. Changes in net interest income results from changes in volume, spread and margin. Volume refers to the dollar level of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Spread refers to the difference between the yield on interest-earning assets and the cost of interest-bearing liabilities. Margin refers to net interest income divided by interest-earning assets and is influenced by the level and relative mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.

The following table shows the dollar amount of the increase (decrease) in the Companys consolidated interest income and expense, and attributes such variance to volume or rate changes. Variances that were immaterial have been allocated equally between rate and volume categories (dollars in thousands):

Non-interest Income

Total non-interest income in 2006 was up 38.9% at $18.2 million as compared to 2005, while 2005 increased a modest 1.0% over 2004. The 2006 increase was due to the acquisition of F&M, which brought increased volume of banking accounts and related fee-based transaction activity in deposit account services and overdraft transactions. 2006 income related to Residential mortgage origination activity was higher also due to F&M volumes, however slowing real estate activity in both Idaho and Oregon moderated gains in this area (see next section).

Home Mortgage Originations and Mortgage Related Revenue

Including volumes generated at F&M, residential mortgage originations totaled $176.6 million in 2006, up 11.2% compared to $158.8 million in 2005. 2005 volumes increased 12.3% as compared to $141.4 million originated in 2004. Non-Interest income arising from mortgage services totaled approximately $3.0 million in 2006 compared to $2.3 million in 2005 and $2.4 million in 2004. The general level and direction of interest rates directly influence the volume and profitability of mortgage banking. Rates stabilized in 2006, compared to a modest increase in 2005.

The Company sells a significant portion of its residential mortgage loans to Fannie Mae, a U.S. Government sponsored enterprise and other secondary market investors. The Company services such loans for Fannie Mae and is paid approximately .25% per annum on the outstanding balances for providing this service. Such revenues are included in the above mortgage banking results. Mortgages serviced for Fannie Mae totaled $494.9 million at December 31, 2006 and $498.7 million at December 31, 2005, upon which were recorded related Mortgage Servicing Rights (MSRs) of approximately $4.1 million in 2006 and $4.4 million in 2005.

The Company capitalizes the estimated market value of MSRs into income upon the sale of each originated mortgage loan. The Company amortizes MSRs in proportion to the servicing income it receives from Fannie Mae over the estimated life of the underlying mortgages, considering prepayment expectations and refinancing patterns. In addition, the Company amortizes, in full, any remaining MSRs balance that is specifically associated with a serviced loan that is refinanced or paid-off.

The carrying value of the MSRs as compared to estimated market value was .83% at December 31, 2006 as compared to .89% a year ago.

Mortgage loans not sold to FNMA, are generally sold servicing released to other secondary market investors. Loan sold on this basis generate no future servicing fees for the Company.

Non-interest Expenses

Total non-interest expenses for 2006 were $53.0 million, an increase of 54.9% compared to 2005 while 2005 expenses were 15.6% above 2004 levels. The 2006 expense growth primarily resulted from the acquisition of F&M. Increases in 2005 expenses was primarily for human resources, including staffing increases to meet growing business volumes and support for new markets. In addition, both 2006 and 2005 included increases in incentive-based bonuses tied to the profitability of the Company. With the economies of scale realized in Cascades acquisition of F&M, the Companys efficiency ratio improved to 45.5% in 2006 compared to 47.1% in 2005, notably better than peer banks for the period. Going forward management expects non-interest expense to gradually increase as it adds staff appropriate to support Cascades infrastructure and ongoing growth goals.

Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes increased during the periods presented primarily as a result of higher pre-tax income. In 2005, the Companys provision for income taxes was reduced due to the impact of a State of Oregon corporate income tax credit of approximately $.7 million. The Companys effective tax rate remains lower than the statutory tax rate due to nontaxable income generated from investments in bank owned life insurance, tax-exempt municipal bonds, business energy tax credits and low income housing credits.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

With the acquisition of F&M and strong organic growth, total assets increased 77.3% to $2.2 billion at December 31, 2006, compared to $1.3 billion at December 31, 2005. Loans grew $837.6 million or 77.3% to $1.9 billion at year-end 2006. Growth in total assets was primarily funded by a deposit increase of $595.3 million or 55.8% above the prior year-end, mainly owing to the F&M acquisition. Subsequent to the acquisition, Cascade implemented its relationship banking strategy in Idaho, allowing certain rate sensitive deposits in Idaho to run-off, resulting in a decline in deposits at F&M between April and December of 2006 of approximately $51 million. This decline includes balances of several large customers that were repositioned into non-deposit (off-balance sheet) investment alternatives offered by Cascade. To offset this decline and fund its strong asset growth, Cascade subsequently utilized brokered and CDARS
deposits. At December 31, 2006, such brokered deposits totaled $114.3 million and CDARS deposits totaled approximately $50.0 million. CDARS (Certificate of Deposit Registry Program) deposits are utilized to meet the needs of certain customers whose investment policies may necessitate or require FDIC insurance (see Deposits and Liquidity sections of this report). The balance of asset growth was funded by an increase in borrowings of approximately $166.1 million, as well as an increase in trust preferred securities of $47.9 million.

The Company had no significant derivative financial instruments as of December 31, 2006 and 2005.

The following sections provide detailed analysis of the Companys financial condition, describing its loan portfolio composition and credit risk management practices (including those related to the loan loss reserve), as well as investment portfolio, deposits, and capital position.

Loan Portfolio Composition

Net loans represent 83% of total assets as of December 31, 2006. The Company makes substantially all of its loans to customers located within the Companys service areas. Due to the economic conditions and characteristics of the Companys primary markets, Cascade has historically had loan concentrations in real estate development, construction and commercial real estate loans. This is due to the rapid growth in population and the nature of the tourism and service industry found in much of Cascades market areas. The loan portfolio composition of F&M was similar to that of Cascade. While the Company has worked to increase the diversification of its loan portfolio by geography and loan type, it is expected that real estate lending will continue to be a major concentration within the loan portfolio. The Company has no significant agricultural loans.

The following table presents the composition of the Companys loan portfolio, at the dates indicated (dollars in thousands):

At December 31, 2006, variable and adjustable rate loans contractually due after one year totaled $1.0 billion and loans with predetermined or fixed rates due after one year totaled $205.1 million.

Real Estate Loan Concentration

Due to the rapid growth in population and the nature of the tourism and service industries found in the Companys primary Oregon and Idaho markets, real estate is frequently a material component of collateral for the Companys loans. Real estate loans have historically represented a concentration of the Companys overall loan portfolio and the acquired F&M loan portfolio is similarly concentrated in real estate. Risks associated with real

26

estate loans include fluctuating land values, national, regional and local economic conditions, changes in tax policies, and a concentration of loans within the Banks market area. Management believes that, because of the strong historic and projected population in-migration and related economic growth expected in the Banks markets, its real estate concentration risk is mitigated to an acceptable level over the long term. However no assurance can be given that the Companys assessment of its real estate risk will be accurate in either the short or long term.

Commercial Real Estate (CRE) loans represent the largest category within the loan portfolio at approximately 32% of total loans outstanding as of December 31, 2006. Approximately 53% of CRE loans are made to owner-occupied users of the commercial property, while 47% of CRE loans are to obligors who do not directly occupy the property. The expected source of repayment of CRE loans is generally the operations of the borrowers business, rents or the obligors personal income. Management believes that commercial real estate collateral may provide an additional measure of security for loans. Management believes lending to owner-occupied businesses mitigates, but does not eliminate, commercial real estate risk. The following table shows the breakdown of the two CRE categories (dollars in thousands):

|                        |      |         |     | % of  |      |  |     |         | % of  |     |     |  |   | % of

Real estate construction loans represent 31% of total loans and include residential/commercial development loans as well as lot loans. 2006 growth in construction/lot lending reflects the acquisition of F&M. With the continued economic growth and in-migration into the Companys markets, speculative construction has been strong with larger developers operating in Cascades markets. This has increased the number of homes under development/construction at any given time. The effect of recent national and regional slowing in real estate markets is being monitored closely by management and the rate of growth in this portfolio is expected to moderate accordingly. See the following table (dollars in thousands):



|                                        |      |         |     | % of  |      |  |     |         | % of  |     |     |  |   | % of

Residential construction loans are generally made to customers who own the property and whose credit profile supports permanent mortgage (take-out) financing at the end of the construction phase. The Company maintains a list of approved local contractors, and the experience and background of contractors may factor into its lending decisions.

Commercial construction loans finance the development and construction of commercial properties. The expected source of repayment of these loans is typically the operations of the borrowers business or the obligors personal income.

Speculative construction loans increased relative to residential and commercial construction. This reflects the increasing capacity of the Company to serve larger development clientele and is a function of the overall growth in population within the communities served by the Bank. Residential speculative construction lending finances builders/developers of residential properties. Such loans may include financing the development and/or construction of residential subdivisions. This activity may involve financing land purchase, infrastructure development (i.e. roads, utilities, etc.), as well as construction of residences or multi-family dwellings for subsequent sale by developer/ builder. Because the sale of developed properties is integral to the success of developer business, loan repayment may be especially subject to the volatility of real estate market values.

All of the above lending activities are subject to the varied risks of real estate lending. Such activity is subject to specialized underwriting, collateral and approval requirements, which mitigates, but does not eliminate the risk that loans may not be repaid.

Lending and Credit Management

The Company has a comprehensive risk management process to control, underwrite, monitor and manage credit risk in lending. The underwriting of loans relies principally on an analysis of an obligors historical and prospective cash flow augmented by collateral assessment, credit bureau information, as well as business plan assessment. Ongoing loan portfolio monitoring is performed by a centralized credit administration function including review and testing of compliance to loan policies and procedures. Internal and external auditors and bank regulatory examiners periodically sample and test certain credit files as well. Risk of nonpayment exists with respect to all loans, which could result in the classification of such loans as non-performing. Certain specific types of risks are associated with different types of loans.

Reserve for Losses on Loans and Unfunded Commitments

This reserve represents managements recognition of the assumed and present risks of extending credit and the possible inability or failure of the obligors to make repayment. The reserve is maintained at a level considered adequate to provide for losses on loans and unfunded commitments based on managements assessment of a variety of current factors affecting the loan portfolio. Such factors include loss experience, review of problem loans, current economic conditions, and an overall evaluation of the quality, risk characteristics and concentration of loans in the portfolio. The reserve is increased by provisions charged to operations and reduced by loans charged-off, net of recoveries. No assurance can be given that, in any particular period, loan losses will not be sustained that are sizable in relation to the amount reserved, or that changing economic factors or other environmental conditions could cause increases in
the loan loss provision.

The Banks ratio of reserve for losses on loans and unfunded commitments to total loans has been relatively stable for the last several years reflecting solid credit quality metrics over this time period. The reserve was 1.42% at December 31, 2006 compared to 1.40% at December 31, 2005, and 1.44% at December 31, 2004. At this date, management believes that its reserve is at an appropriate level under current circumstances and prevailing economic conditions.

Effective in the fourth quarter of 2006, the Bank began classifying reserves for unfunded commitments as a liability on the balance sheet. Prior to 2006, unfunded commitments were classified in accordance with industry practice of other banks in our peer group. Reserves for unfunded commitments totaled approximately $3,213 and $2,753 at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Provision for Loan Loss and Unfunded Commitments

Provision expense is determined by the Companys ongoing analytical and evaluative assessment of the adequacy of the reserve for losses on loans and unfunded commitments. Credit quality metrics currently indicate sound credit quality, with low delinquent loans, modest net loan charge-offs and stable non-performing assets.

Provision expense for 2006 was $6.0 million, up from $3.1 million in 2006, and compares to $3.7 million in 2004. The 2006 increase is reflective of the larger size of the loan portfolio owing to the acquisition of F&M as well as strong organic loan growth during the year.

Allocation of Reserve for Losses on Loans and Unfunded Commitments

The following table allocates the reserve for loan losses among major loan types. The Company utilizes a systematic methodology to estimate and evaluate the inherent risk within the loan portfolio in order to estimate the reserve. The Companys methodology segments the loan portfolio into various risk categories and pools. Appropriate base reserve rates are established based on historical loss rates. Economic and concentration adjustments are also applied to selected categories and pools to reflect current economic conditions and concentration risk. The consumer reserve allocation is based mainly upon credit scoring methodology. Specific impairment evaluations are conducted on loans in accordance with SFAS No. 114 as amended by SFAS No. 118. The unallocated portion of the reserve

28

is based upon factors not measured in the allocated or specific reserves, and/or relate to the margin of imprecision inherent in the estimation of such reserves. Factors include uncertainties in economic or environmental conditions, uncertainty in identifying triggering events that directly correlate to subsequent loss rates and risk factors that have not yet been manifested in historical loss experience. Examples of such factors could include originating loans in new or unfamiliar markets, initiating new loan programs or products, or initiating specialty lending to industry sectors that may be new to the Company. Although this allocation process may not accurately predict credit losses by loan type or in aggregate, the total reserve for loan losses is available to absorb losses that may arise from any loan type or category.

29

In the table below the higher 2006 allocation to commercial loans was primarily a result of applying higher relative reserves to certain loans based upon ongoing credit quality monitoring and assessment. Typical factors leading to changes in reserve allocation on specific credits may include changes in debt service coverage ratios, guarantor and/or collateral strength and economic factors impacting the obligor. In percentage terms the reserve allocation to construction/lot lending is consistent across the time periods presented, however the absolute size of this portfolio increased due to substantial speculative construction portfolio growth in 2006.

The following table sets forth the allocation of the reserve for loan losses (dollars in thousands):

The accrual of interest on a loan is discontinued when, in managements judgment, the future collectibility of principal or interest is in doubt. Loans placed on nonaccrual status may or may not be contractually past due at the time of such determination, and may or may not be secured. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, it is the Banks policy to reverse, and charge against current income, interest previously accrued but uncollected. Interest

subsequently collected on such loans is credited to loan principal if, in the opinion of management, full collectibility of principal is doubtful. Interest income that was reversed and charged against income for the years of 2006, 2005 and 2004 was insignificant.

During our normal loan review procedures, a loan is considered to be impaired when it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Impaired loans are measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows, discounted at the loans effective interest rate or, as a practical expedient, at the loans observable market price or the fair market value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. Impaired loans are currently measured at lower of cost or fair value. Certain large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans, collectively measured for impairment, are excluded. Impaired loans are charged to the allowance when management believes, after considering economic and business conditions, collection efforts and collateral position that the borrowers financial condition is such that collection of principal is not probable.
In addition, net overdraft losses are included in the calculation of the allowance for loan losses per the guidance provided by regulatory authorities early in 2005, Joint Guidance on Overdraft Protection Programs.

At December 31, 2006, the Companys recorded investment in certain loans that were considered to be impaired was $2.7 million and specific valuation allowances were $.4 million. Impaired loans were insignificant at year-end 2005.

Investments are mainly classified as available for sale and consist mainly of MBS and Agency notes backed by Government Sponsored Enterprises, such as FNMA and FHLB, At December 31, 2006 the portfolio had an unrealized loss on available for sale securities of approximately $.3 million and no other than temporary impaired securities.

Bank-Owned Life Insurance (BOLI)

The Bank has purchased BOLI to protect itself against the loss of certain key employees and directors due to death and to offset the Banks future obligations to its employees under its retirement and benefit plans. During 2006, 2005 and 2004, the Bank purchased $13.6 million, $1.4 million, and $4.9 million of BOLI, respectively. The cash surrender value of the Banks total life insurance policies was $31.7 and $16.0 million at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The Bank recorded income from the BOLI policies of $.8 million in 2006, and $.7 million in 2005 and 2004.

The Company owns both general account and separate account BOLI. The separate account BOLI was purchased in the fourth quarter of 2006 as an investment expected to provide a long-term source of earnings to support existing employee benefit plans. The fair value of the general account BOLI is based on the insurance contract cash surrender value. The cash surrender value of the separate account BOLI is the quoted market price of the underlying securities, further supported by a stable value wrap, which protects against changes in the fair market value of the investments.

Deposit Liabilities and Time Deposit Maturities

Increases in all deposit categories during 2006 were primarily due to the F&M acquisition in April 2006. Total deposits averaged $1.5 billion for the full year 2006, up 51.8% or $494.7 million from the prior year average. 2006 average non-interest-bearing demand was up $116.8 million or 29.8% and average interest bearing demand (including money market deposits) was up $258.3 million or 48.4%.

At December 31, 2006, total deposits were $1.7 billion, an increase of $596.2 million or 56.0% compared to year-end 2005 mainly owing to the F&M acquisition. Subsequent to the acquisition, Cascade implemented its relationship banking strategy in Idaho, allowing certain rate sensitive deposits in Idaho to run-off, resulting in a decline in deposits at F&M between April and December of 2006 of approximately $51 million. This decline includes balances of several large customers that were repositioned into non-deposit (off-balance sheet) investment alternatives offered by Cascade. To offset this decline and fund its strong asset growth, Cascade subsequently utilized brokered and CDARS deposits. At December 31, 2006, such brokered deposits totaled $114.3 million and CDARS deposits totaled approximately $50.0 million.

Rates paid on all interest bearing deposit categories increased in 2006 as the Federal Reserve continued its program to push market rates higher. In addition, the brokered deposits discussed above carry rates that are often at higher national market levels.

Historically, Cascade has had a relatively high proportion of its deposits in non-interest bearing accounts. However, especially during the latter half of 2006, non interest bearing balances eased to approximately 30.7% of total deposits as of year-end, compared to a full year average of 35.1%. While it is not atypical for Cascades deposits to seasonally slow or even decline modestly late in the year after the peak summer construction season, the decline in 2006 appears to be exacerbated as a consequence of the nation-wide slowing in real estate activity following the excessive pace of 2005 and early 2006.

Average time deposits during 2006 increased $130.8 million to $198.4 million as compared to 2005 averages. Time deposits acquired in the F&M transaction account for the majority of this increase. The remainder of the increase in time deposits resulted from the use of national market brokered CDs that were part of the Companys wholesale funding strategies in 2006. In addition, the Bank began using the CDARS program in 2006 as noted above. Of the increase in average time deposits during 2006, brokered CDs and CDARS accounted for approximately $17.2 million and $29.3 million, respectively. The Company does not aggressively market time deposits within local markets as they are not believed to be key to its relationship banking strategy.

LIQUIDITY AND SOURCES OF FUNDS

The objective of liquidity management is to maintain ample cash flows to meet obligations for depositor withdrawals, fund the borrowing needs of loan customers, and to fund ongoing operations. Core relationship deposits are the primary source of the Banks liquidity. As such, the Bank focuses on deposit relationships with local business and consumer clients who maintain multiple accounts and services at the Bank. Management views such deposits as the foundation of its long-term liquidity because it believes such core deposits are more stable and less sensitive to changing interest rates and other economic factors compared to large time deposits or wholesale purchased funds. The Banks customer relationship strategy has resulted in a relatively higher percentage of its deposits being held in checking and money market accounts, and a lesser percentage in time deposits. Time deposits increased in 2006 in part due to use of
brokered CDs where the Bank pays national market rates (see Deposit Liabilities section above). The Banks present funding mix is diverse, with approximately 77% of its checking account balances arising from business and public accounts and 23% from consumers. The composition of money market and interest-bearing demand accounts was 48% business and 52% consumer. Management invests excess funds in short-term and overnight money market instruments. Since December 31, 2006, the average amount of overnight investments declined by approximately $16 million on average, with such funds redeployed to partially fund loan growth. At December 31, 2006, total borrowings included Cascades issuance of approximately $68.6 million in junior subordinated trust preferred securities.

A further source of funds and liquidity is the Companys capability to borrow from reliable counterparties. The Bank utilizes its investment securities, certain loans, FHLB Stock and certain deposits to provide collateral to support its borrowing needs.

Company policy requires the analysis and testing of liquidity to ensure ample cash flow is available under a range of circumstances. Management believes that its focus on core relationship deposits coupled with access to borrowing through reliable counterparties provides reasonable and prudent assurance that ample liquidity is available. However, depositor or counterparty behavior could change in response to competition, economic or market situations including relative returns available in stock or bond markets or other unforeseen circumstances, which could have liquidity implications that may require different strategic or operational actions.

The Banks primary counterparty for borrowing purposes is the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB). At December 31, 2006, the FHLB had extended the Bank a secured line of credit of $785.6 million that may be accessed for short or long-term borrowings given sufficient qualifying collateral. As of December 31, 2006, the Bank had collateral with which to pledge for FHLB borrowings totaling $315.0 million. The Bank also had $60.4 million in short-term borrowing availability from the Federal Reserve Bank that requires specific qualifying collateral. In addition, the Bank maintained unsecured lines of credit totaling $105.0 million for the purchase of funds on a short-term basis from several commercial bank counterparties. At December 31, 2006, the Bank had remaining available borrowing capacity on its aggregate lines of credit totaling $764.5 million given sufficient collateral. However at year end 2006 the Companys collateral
availability limited such borrowing capacity to approximately $480.4 million in aggregate.

Liquidity may be affected by the Banks routine commitments to extend credit. Historically a significant portion of such commitments (such as lines of credit) have expired or terminated without funding. In addition, more than one-third of total commitments pertain to various construction projects. Under the terms of such construction commitments, completion of specified project benchmarks must be certified before funds may be drawn. At December 31, 2006 the Bank had approximately $713.9 million in outstanding commitments to extend credit, compared to approximately $446.6 million at year-end 2005. Management believes that the Banks available resources will be sufficient to fund its commitments in the normal course of business.

JUNIOR SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES

At December 31, 2006, the Company held $68.6 million of trust preferred securities (TPS). In 2006, the Company issued trust preferred securities totaling $47.9, of which $22.5 million was used to fund the cash portion of the F&M acquisition and $25.4 million to support general corporate purposes and to augment regulatory capital. Management believes the securities qualify as Tier 1 regulatory capital and are priced at a competitive level. The Companys obligations under the Debentures and related agreements, taken together, constitute a full and irrevocable guarantee by the Company of the obligations of the Trusts. The TPS are mandatorily redeemable upon the maturity of the Debentures, or upon earlier redemption as provided in the Indenture related to the Debentures. The TPS may be called by the Company at par at varying times subsequent to September 15, 2011, and may be redeemed earlier upon the occurrence of certain
events that impact the income tax or the regulatory capital treatment of the TPS. See footnote 9 of the accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional details.

OTHER BORROWINGS

The Company has increased its total borrowings at year end 2006 to fund its strong organic loan growth and also because of its strategy to allow certain rate sensitive F&M deposits to runoff during the year. At December 31, 2006 the Bank had a total of approximately $120.4 million in term borrowings from FHLB with maturities from 2007 to 2025, bearing a weighted-average interest rate of 4.77%. In addition, at December 31, 2006, the Bank had short-term borrowings with FHLB and FRB of approximately $48.8 million and $2.1 million, respectively. A year earlier at December 31, 2005 the Bank had a total of $61.1 million in term borrowings from FHLB bearing a weighted-average interest rate of 3.91%, and short-term borrowings with FRB of approximately $3.2 million. See Liquidity and Sources of Funds section on page 35 for further discussion.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Companys total stockholders equity at December 31, 2006 was $261.1 million, an increase of $156.7 million from December 31, 2005. The increase primarily resulted from the issuance of stock in connection with the acquisition of F&M in the amount of $124.6 million, net income for the full year 2006 of $35.7 million, less cash dividends paid to shareholders of $8.1 million during the same period. In addition, at December 31, 2006, the Company had accumulated other comprehensive income of approximately $.8 million.

Management believes that the capital resources of the Company will be adequate to meet its needs for the reasonable foreseeable future.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Interest Rate Risk and Asset and Liability Management

The goal of the Companys Asset and Liability Management Policy is to maximize long-term profitability under the range of likely interest rate scenarios. The Board of Directors oversees implementation of strategies to control interest rate risk. Management hires and engages a qualified independent service provider to assist in modeling, monthly reporting and assessing interest rate risk. The Companys methodology for analyzing interest rate risk includes simulation modeling as well as traditional interest rate gap analysis. While both methods provide an indication of risk for a given change in interest rates, it is managements opinion that simulation is the more effective tool for asset and liability management. The Company has historically adjusted its sensitivity to changing interest rates by strategically managing its loan and deposit portfolios with respect to pricing, maturity or contractual characteristics.
The Company may also target the expansion or contraction of specific investment portfolio or borrowing structures to further affect its risk profile. In addition, the Company is authorized to enter into interest rate swap or other hedging contracts with re-pricing characteristics that tend to moderate interest rate risk. However, there are no material structured hedging instruments in use at this time. Because of the volatility of market rates, event risk and other uncertainties described below, there can be no assurance of the effectiveness of management programs to achieve its interest rate risk objectives.

To assess and estimate the degree of interest rate risk, the Company utilizes a sophisticated simulation model that estimates the possible volatility of Company earnings resulting from changes in interest rates. Management first establishes a wide range of possible interest rate scenarios over a two-year forecast period. Such scenarios include a Stable or unchanged scenario and an Estimated or most likely scenario given current and forecast economic conditions. At this time, the Estimated scenario approximates market expectations as to the pace and magnitude of fed funds rate increases as implied by the euro-dollar yield curve. In addition, scenarios titled Rising Rates and Declining Rates are established to stress-test the impact of more dramatic rate movements that are perceived as less likely, but may still possibly occur. Next, net interest income and earnings are
simulated in each scenario. Note that earnings projections include the effect of estimated loan and deposit growth that management deems reasonable; however, such volume projections are not varied by rate scenario. Simulated earnings are compared over a two-year time horizon. The following table defines the market interest rates used in the model for Estimated (most likely), Rising and Declining interest rate scenarios. These market rates shown are reached gradually over the 2-year simulation horizon.

Managements assessment of interest rate risk and scenario analysis must be taken in the context of market interest rates and overall economic conditions. Since mid 2004, the Federal Reserve has engineered a gradual rising in short term market interest rates. Meanwhile, long term rates remained relatively stable resulting in a flattening of yield curve between short and long term rates. The yield curve suggests that market participants are anticipating a relatively stable rate environment over the next several years. At year-end 2006, the national Federal Funds and Prime borrowing rates were at 5.25% and 8.25%, respectively.

The above rate scenarios provide a relatively wide dispersion of possible outcomes, with the rising rate scenario modeling an outcome whereby fed funds rate increases significantly from 5.25% at year end 2006 to 11.25% at year end 2008, while in the declining scenario rates fall from the current 5.25% to a very low .50% by the end of the horizon period. Meanwhile, the estimated scenario assumes fed funds remain at 5.25% throughout the horizon period.

In managements judgment and at this date, the interest rate risk profile of the Company is reasonably balanced within the most likely range of possible outcomes. The model indicates that should future interest rates actually follow the most likely path (estimated rate scenario), the net interest margin would range between 5.30% to 5.60% all else equal. However with the more dramatic changes reflected in the rising or declining scenarios, the model suggests the margin would likely fall outside of this range should such interest rates actually occur. This is mainly because the Company has a large portion of non-interest bearing funds (approximately 31% of total deposits) that are assumed to be relatively insensitive to changes in interest rates. Thus in the event of rising rates, yields on earning assets would tend to increase at a faster pace than overall cost of funds, leading to an
improving margin. Conversely, should rates fall to the very low levels assumed in the declining scenario, yields on loans and securities would compress against an already low cost of funds. Also in this declining rate scenario, the model assumes an annualized 35% prepayment rate on loans currently outstanding that would refinance to lower rates, contributing to margin compression. Thus in the declining rate scenario where fed fund rates fall to just 0.50%, the model indicates that the net interest margin could average approximately 0.40% below the range noted above during the first 12 months of the forecast horizon, and up to 1.00% below during the second twelve months. It should be noted that even under this scenario key financial performance benchmarks including ROA and ROE remain at sound levels (though lower than in other scenarios). Management has concluded that the degree of margin and earnings volatility under the above scenarios is acceptable because of its relatively low likelihood as
compared to the cost of mitigating such risk and because the model suggests that the Company would still generate satisfactory returns under such circumstances.

Please carefully review and consider the following information regarding the risk of placing undue reliance on simulation models, interest rate projections and scenario results.

In all scenarios discussed above, results are modeled using managements estimates as to growth in loans, deposits and other balance sheet items, as well as the expected mix and pricing thereof. These volume estimates are static in the various scenarios. Such estimates may be inaccurate as to future periods. Model results are only

indicative of interest rate risk exposure under various scenarios. The results do not encompass all possible paths of future market rates, in terms of absolute change or rate of change, or changes in the shape of the yield curve. Nor does the simulation anticipate changes in credit conditions that could affect results. Likewise, scenarios do not include possible changes in volumes, pricing or portfolio management tactics that may enable management to moderate the effect of such interest rate changes.

Simulations are dependent on assumptions and estimations that management believes are reasonable, although the actual results may vary substantially, and there can be no assurance that simulation results are reliable indicators of future earnings under such conditions. This is, in part, because of the nature and uncertainties inherent in simulating future events including: (1) no presumption of changes in asset and liability strategies in response to changing circumstances; (2) model assumptions may differ from actual outcomes; (3) uncertainties as to customer behavior in response to changing circumstances; (4) unexpected absolute and relative loan and deposit volume changes; (5) unexpected absolute and relative loan and deposit pricing levels; (6) unexpected behavior by competitors; (7 other unanticipated credit conditions or other events impacting volatility in market conditions and interest rates.

Interest Rate Gap Table

In the opinion of management, the use of interest rate gap analysis is less valuable than the simulation method discussed above as a means to measure and manage interest rate risk. This is because it is a static measure of rate sensitivity and does not capture the possible magnitude or pace of rate changes. At year-end 2006, the Companys one-year cumulative interest rate gap analysis indicates that rate sensitive liabilities maturing or available for repricing within one-year exceeded rate sensitive assets by approximately $69.8 million.

The Company considers its rate-sensitive assets to be those that either contains a provision to adjust the interest rate periodically or matures within one year. These assets include certain loans and leases and investment securities and interest bearing balances with FHLB. Rate-sensitive liabilities are those liabilities that are considered sensitive to periodic interest rate changes within one year, including maturing time certificates, savings deposits, interest-bearing demand deposits and junior subordinated debentures.

Set forth below is a table showing the interest rate sensitivity gap of the Companys assets and liabilities over various re-pricing periods and maturities, as of December 31, 2006 (dollars in thousands):

REPORT OF SYMONDS, EVANS & COMPANY, P.C.,INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors andStockholders of Cascade Bancorp

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Cascade Bancorp and its subsidiary, Bank of the Cascades (collectively, the Company), as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in stockholders equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2006. We also have audited managements assessment, included in Managements Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A, that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, based on criteria established in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria). The Companys management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for
its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements, an opinion on managements assessment, and an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit of the consolidated financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating managements assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of
internal control, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

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

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Cascade Bancorp and its subsidiary as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2006, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Also, in our opinion, managements assessment that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006 is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on the COSO criteria. Furthermore, in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, based on the COSO criteria.

CASCADE BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARYNOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSDECEMBER 31, 2006(Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)

1. Basis of presentation and summary of significant accounting policies

Basis of presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Cascade Bancorp (Bancorp), an Oregon chartered financial holding company, and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Bank of the Cascades (the Bank) (collectively, the Company or Cascade). The Bank also operates in Idaho under the name of Farmers & Merchants, a Bank of the Cascades company (see Note 11). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Bancorp has also established four subsidiary grantor trusts in connection with the issuance of trust preferred securities (see Note 9). In accordance with the requirements of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 46(R), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (as amended), the accounts and transactions of these trusts are not included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

All share and per share information in the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been adjusted to give retroactive effect to 5-for-4 stock splits in 2006 and 2004.

Certain amounts in 2005 and 2004 have been reclassified to conform with the 2006 presentation.

Description of business

The Bank conducts a general banking business, operating branches in Central, Southern and Northwest Oregon, as well as the Boise, Idaho area. Its activities include the usual lending and deposit functions of a commercial bank: commercial, construction, real estate, installment, credit card and mortgage loans; checking, money market, time deposit and savings accounts; Internet banking and bill payment; automated teller machines and safe deposit facilities. Additionally, the Bank originates and sells mortgage loans into the secondary market and offers trust and investment services.

Method of accounting

The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and prevailing practices within the banking industry. The Company utilizes the accrual method of accounting which recognizes income and gains when earned and expenses and losses when incurred. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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 consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of income, gains, expenses, and losses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Segment reporting

The Company is managed by legal entity and not by lines of business. The Company has determined that its operations are solely in the community banking industry and include traditional community banking services, including lending activities; acceptance of demand, savings, and time deposits; business services; and trust services. These products and services have similar distribution methods, types of customers and regulatory responsibilities. The performance of the Company and Bank is reviewed by the executive management team and the Companys Board of Directors (the Board) on a monthly basis. All of the executive officers of the Company are members of the Banks executive management team and operating decisions are made based on performance of the Company as a whole. Accordingly, disaggregated segment information is not necessary to be presented in the consolidated financial statements, and the Company will continue to present one segment for
reporting purposes.

Cash and cash equivalents

For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, amounts due from banks (including cash items in process of collection), interest bearing deposits with Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) and federal funds sold. Generally, any interest bearing deposits are invested for a maximum of 90 days. Federal funds are generally sold for one-day periods.

The Bank maintains balances in correspondent bank accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. Management believes that its risk of loss associated with such balances is minimal due to the financial strength of the correspondent banks. The Bank has not experienced any losses in such accounts.

Supplemental disclosures of cash flow information

For the periods reported, noncash transactions resulted from 5-for-4 stock splits in 2006 and 2004; unrealized gains and losses on investment securities available-for-sale, net of income taxes, reclassification of unearned compensation on nonvested restricted stock to common stock, issuance of nonvested restricted stock, and stock-based compensation expense, all as disclosed in the accompanying consolidated statements of changes in stockholders equity; the net capitalization of originated mortgage-servicing rights, as disclosed in Note 6; and common stock issued in conjunction with the acquisitions of F&M Holding Company (F&M) and Community Bank of Grants Pass (CBGP), as disclosed in Note 11.

During 2006, 2005 and 2004, the Company paid approximately $37,941, $12,983 and $4,765, respectively, in interest expense.

During 2006, 2005 and 2004, the Company made income tax payments of approximately $24,270, $13,579 and $10,750, respectively.

Investment securities

Investment securities that management has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held-to-maturity securities and reported at cost, adjusted for premiums and discounts that are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the period to maturity.

Investment securities that are purchased and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term are classified as trading securities and are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses included in noninterest income. The Company had no trading securities during 2006, 2005 or 2004.

Investment securities that are not classified as either held-to-maturity securities or trading securities are classified as available-for-sale securities and are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported as other comprehensive income or loss, net of income taxes. The fair value of available-for-sale securities is based on quoted market prices, when available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are estimated using quoted market prices for similar instruments.

Management determines the appropriate classification of securities at the time of purchase.

Gains and losses on the sales of available-for-sale securities are determined using the specific-identification method. Premiums and discounts on available-for-sale securities are recognized in interest income using the interest method generally over the period to maturity.

Declines in the fair value of individual held-to-maturity and available-for-sale securities below their cost that are other-than-temporary would result in write-downs of the individual securities to their fair value. In estimating other-than-temporary impairment losses, management considers, among other things, (i) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (ii) the financial condition and near term prospects of the issuer, and (iii) the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery of fair value. The related write-downs would be included in earnings as realized losses. Management believes that all unrealized losses on investment securities at December 31, 2006 and 2005 are temporary (see Note 3).

FHLB stock

The Banks investment in FHLB stock is carried at cost, which approximates fair value. As a member of the FHLB system, the Bank is required to maintain a minimum level of investment in FHLB stock based on specific percentages of its outstanding mortgages, total assets or FHLB advances. At December 31, 2006, the Bank met its minimum required investment. The Bank may request redemption at par value of any FHLB stock in excess of the minimum required investment; however, stock redemptions are at the discretion of the FHLB.

Loans

Loans are stated at the amount of unpaid principal, reduced by the reserve for loan losses, the undisbursed portion of loans in process and deferred loan fees.

Interest income on loans is accrued daily based on the principal amounts outstanding. Allowances are established for uncollected interest on loans for which the interest is determined to be uncollectible. Generally, all loans past due (based on contractual terms) 90 days or more are placed on non-accrual status and internally classified as substandard. Any interest income accrued at that time is reversed. Subsequent collections are applied proportionately to past due principal and interest, unless collectibility of principal is in doubt, in which case all payments are applied to principal. Loans are removed from non-accrual status only when the loan is deemed current, and the collectibility of principal and interest is no longer doubtful, or, on one-to-four family loans, when the loan is less than 90 days delinquent.

The Bank charges fees for originating loans. These fees, net of certain loan origination costs, are deferred and amortized to interest income, on the level-yield basis, over the loan term. If the loan is repaid prior to maturity, the remaining unamortized deferred loan origination fee is recognized in interest income at the time of repayment.

Reserve for loan losses

The reserve for loan losses represents managements recognition of the assumed risks of extending credit. The reserve is established to absorb known and inherent losses in the loan portfolio as of the consolidated balance sheet date. At December 31, 2006, the Bank has also established a separate liability for inherent losses on unfunded loan commitments. Prior to December 31, 2006, the liability for unfunded loan commitments was included in the reserve for loan losses. The reserve is maintained at a level considered adequate to provide for potential loan losses based on managements assessment of various factors affecting the portfolio.

The reserve is based on estimates, and ultimate losses may vary from the current estimates. These estimates are reviewed periodically, and, as adjustments become necessary, they are reported in earnings in the periods in which they become known. The reserve is increased by provisions charged to operations and reduced by loans charged-off, net of recoveries.

CASCADE BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARYNOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) DECEMBER 31, 2006 (Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)

The following describes the Companys methodology for assessing the appropriate level of the reserve for loan losses. For this purpose, loans and related commitments to loan are analyzed  and reserves categorized  into the allocated reserve, specifically identified reserves for impaired loans, the unallocated reserve, or the reserve for unfunded loan commitments.

The allocated portion of the reserve (and the reserve for unfunded loan commitments as of December 31, 2006) is calculated by applying loss factors to outstanding loan balances and commitments to loan, segregated by differing risk categories. Loss factors are based on historical loss experience, adjusted for current economic trends, portfolio concentrations and other conditions affecting the portfolio.

Impaired loans are either specifically allocated for in the reserve for loan losses or reflected as a partial charge-off of the loan balance. The Bank considers loans to be impaired when management believes that it is probable that all amounts due will not be collected according to the contractual terms. Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loans effective interest rate, the loans observable market price or the estimated fair value of the loans underlying collateral or related guaranty. Since a significant portion of the Banks loans are collateralized by real estate, the Bank primarily measures impairment based on the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral or related guaranty. In certain other cases, impairment is measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loans effective interest rate. Smaller
balance homogeneous loans (typically installment loans) are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, the Bank does not separately identify individual installment loans for impairment disclosures. Generally, the Bank evaluates a loan for impairment when a loan is determined to be adversely risk rated.

The unallocated portion of the reserve is based upon managements evaluation of various factors that are not directly measured in the determination of the allocated and specific reserves. Such factors include uncertainties in economic conditions, uncertainty in identifying triggering events that directly correlate to subsequent loss rates, risk factors that have not yet manifested themselves in loss allocation factors and historical loss experience data that may not precisely correspond to the current portfolio. Also, loss data representing a complete economic cycle is not available for all sections of the loan portfolio. Accordingly, the unallocated reserve helps to minimize the risk related to the margin of imprecision inherent in the estimation of allocated loan losses. Due to the subjectivity involved in the determination of the unallocated portion of the reserve for loan losses, the relationship of the unallocated component to the total reserve for
loan losses may fluctuate from period to period.

Various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Banks reserve for loan losses. Such agencies may require the Bank to recognize additions to the reserve in the future based on their judgment of the information available to them at the time of their examinations.

Reserve for unfunded loan commitments

The Company maintains a separate reserve for losses related to unfunded loan commitments. Management estimates the amount of probable losses related to unfunded loan commitments by applying the loss factors used in the reserve for loan loss methodology to an estimate of the expected amount of funding and applies this adjusted factor to the unused portion of unfunded loan commitments. Prior to December 31, 2006, the reserve for unfunded loan commitments was included in the reserve for loan losses for financial reporting purposes. During the fourth quarter of 2006, approximately $3,200 of the reserve for loan losses was reclassified to establish the reserve for unfunded loan commitments, which is included in accrued interest and other liabilities in the December 31, 2006 consolidated balance sheet.

Mortgage servicing rights

Mortgage servicing rights (MSRs) are measured by allocating the carrying value of loans between the assets sold and interest retained, based upon the relative estimated fair value at date of sale. MSRs are capitalized at their allocated carrying value and amortized in proportion to, and over the period of, estimated future net servicing revenue. Impairment of MSRs is assessed based on the estimated fair value of servicing rights. Fair value is estimated using discounted cash flows of servicing revenue less servicing costs taking into consideration market estimates of prepayments as applied to underlying loan type, note rate and term. Impairment adjustments, if any, are recorded through a valuation allowance.

Fees earned for servicing mortgage loans are reported as income when the related mortgage loan payments are received. The Company classifies MSRs as accrued interest and other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Premises and equipment

Premises and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization is computed on the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful lives of the assets or terms of the leases. Amortization of leasehold improvements is included in depreciation and amortization expense in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Other real estate

Other real estate, acquired through foreclosure or deeds in lieu of foreclosure, is carried at the lower of cost or estimated net realizable value. When the property is acquired, any excess of the loan balance over the estimated net realizable value is charged to the reserve for loan losses. Holding costs; subsequent write-downs to net realizable value, if any; or any disposition gains or losses are included in noninterest income and expenses. Other real estate was insignificant at December 31, 2006 and 2005.

Goodwill and other intangible assets

Goodwill and other intangible assets represent the excess of the purchase price and related costs over the fair value of net assets acquired in business combinations under the purchase method of accounting. As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, the carrying value of goodwill that arose from the acquisitions of F&M and CBGP totaled $105,047 and $6,352, respectively (see Note 11).

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, goodwill cannot be amortized; however, it must be tested for impairment at least annually. An impairment loss will be recorded for any goodwill that is determined to be impaired. Goodwill would be tested for impairment between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. Differences in the identification of reporting units and the use of valuation techniques could result in materially different evaluations of impairment.

The Company performs its annual impairment test for goodwill during the third quarter of each year. For purposes of this test, the Company identified a single reporting unit. Based on the results of valuation testing performed, in the opinion of management, the Company has not experienced any such impairment loss as of and for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005.

Other intangible assets include core deposit intangibles (CDI) and other identifiable finite-life intangible assets which are being amortized over their estimated useful lives primarily under the straight-line method. The CDI arose from the acquisitions of F&M and CBGP, and totaled approximately $11,082 and $371 at December 31, 2006

51

and 2005, respectively. The CDI is included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and is being amortized over an eight-year period for F&M and over a seven-year period for CBGP. Other intangible assets, exclusive of CDI, are not significant at December 31, 2006 and 2005.

Bank-owned life insurance

The Company has purchased both general account and separate account bank-owned life insurance (BOLI) policies in part to provide a long-term source of earnings to support existing employee benefit plans. Approximately $13,600 of separate account BOLI was purchased in the fourth quarter of 2006 with an additional $11,400 of existing general account BOLI transferred into the separate account. The fair value of the general account BOLI is based on the insurance contract cash surrender value. The fair value of the separate account BOLI is based on the cash surrender value which is the quoted market price of the underlying investments, further supported by a stable value wrap, which moderates against changes in the fair value of the underlying investments.

Federal funds purchased

Federal funds purchased are short-term borrowings that typically mature within one to ninety days.

Customer repurchase agreements

The Bank enters into repurchase agreements with customers who wish to deposit amounts in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the FDIC) insured amount of $100,000. Each agreement is for a fixed length of time at a fixed interest rate. These deposits are not insured by the FDIC but are collateralized by an interest in pledged securities. The Bank has classified these borrowings separately from deposits.

Advertising

Advertising costs are generally charged to expense during the year in which they are incurred.

Income taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are reflected at currently enacted income tax rates applicable to the period in which the deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be realized or settled. As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision (credit) for income taxes.

Trust assets

Assets of the Banks trust department, other than cash on deposit at the Bank, are not included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements because they are not assets of the Bank. Assets (unaudited) totaling approximately $147,000 and $28,000 were held in trust as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Transfers of financial assets

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

Recently issued accounting standards

In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments - an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140. SFAS No. 155 amends SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, to permit fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument with an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation, provided that the whole instrument is accounted for on a fair value basis. SFAS No. 155 also amends SFAS No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, to allow a qualifying special-purpose entity to hold a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument. SFAS No. 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued by the Company after January 1, 2007. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS
No. 155 to have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.

In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets - an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140. SFAS No. 156 requires all separately recognized servicing assets and liabilities to be initially measured at fair value. In addition, entities are permitted to choose to either subsequently measure servicing rights at fair value and report changes in fair value in earnings, or amortize servicing rights in proportion to and over the estimated net servicing income or loss and assess the rights for impairment. Beginning with the fiscal year in which an entity adopts SFAS No. 156, it may elect to subsequently measure a class of servicing assets and liabilities at fair value. Post adoption, an entity may make this election as of the beginning of any fiscal year. An entity that elects to subsequently measure a class of servicing assets and liabilities at fair value should apply that election to all new and existing recognized
servicing assets and liabilities within that class. The effect of remeasuring an existing class of servicing assets and liabilities at fair value is to be reported as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. The statement also requires additional disclosures. SFAS No. 156 is effective as of the beginning of an entitys first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 156 on its future consolidated financial statements.

In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No 109 (FIN 48). FIN 48 establishes a recognition threshold and measurement for income tax positions recognized in an enterprises financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN 48 also prescribes a two-step evaluation process for tax positions. The first step is recognition and the second is measurement. For recognition, an enterprise judgmentally determines whether it is more-likely-than-not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. If the tax position meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold it is measured and recognized in the financial statements. If a tax position does not meet the
more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the benefit of that position is not recognized in the financial statements. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold at the effective date of FIN 48 may be recognized or, continue to be recognized, upon adoption of FIN 48. The cumulative effect of applying the provisions of FIN 48 shall be reported as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings for that fiscal year. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Accordingly, the Company plans to adopt FIN 48 during the first quarter of 2007. The Company is evaluating the impact of the adoption of FIN 48 and at this point does not believe that it will have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. It clarifies that fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the market in which the reporting entity transacts. SFAS No. 157 does not require any new fair value measurements; rather, it provides enhanced guidance to other pronouncements that require or permit

assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, with earlier adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 157 to have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.

In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 (SAB 108). SAB 108 addresses how to quantify financial statement errors that arose in prior periods for purposes of assessing their materiality in the current period. It requires analysis of misstatements using both an income statement (rollover) approach and a balance sheet (iron curtain) approach in assessing materiality. It clarifies that immaterial financial statement errors in a prior SEC filing can be corrected in subsequent filings without the need to amend the prior filing. In addition, SAB 108 provides transitional relief for correcting errors that would have been considered immaterial before its issuance. The adoption of SAB 108 did not have an impact on the Companys accompanying consolidated financial statements.

On September 20, 2006, the FASB ratified Emerging Issue Task Force (EITF) Issue 06-5, Accounting for Purchases of Life Insurance  Determining the Amount That Could Be Realized in Accordance with FASB Technical Bulletin No. 85-4 (FTB 85-4), Accounting for Purchases of Life Insurance (EITF 06-5). EITF 06-5 addresses the methods by which an entity should determine the amounts that could be realized under an insurance contract at the consolidated balance sheet date when applying FTB 85-4, and whether the determination should be on an individual or group policy basis. EIFT 06-5 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company does not expect the adoption of EITF 06-5 to have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. SFAS No. 159 provides entities with an option to report certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value  with changes in fair value reported in earnings  and requires additional disclosures related to an entitys election to use fair value reporting. It also requires entities to display the fair value of those assets and liabilities for which the entity has elected to use fair value on the face of the balance sheet. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that SFAS No. 159 may have on its future consolidated financial statements.

Stock-based compensation

Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for stock-based compensation arrangements under the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations (collectively, APB No. 25). Under this method, no compensation expense was recognized for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, as the exercise price of each stock option which the Company granted was equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004) (SFAS 123R), Share-Based Payment. SFAS 123R requires the measurement of compensation cost for all stock-based awards to be based on the grant-date fair value and recognition of compensation cost over the service period of stock-based awards, which is generally the same as the vesting period. The fair value of stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model, which is consistent with the Companys valuation methodology previously utilized for stock options in the footnote disclosures required under SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.

The Company has adopted SFAS 123(R) using a modified version of prospective application (modified prospective application). Under modified prospective application, as it is applicable to the Company, SFAS 123R applies to new awards and to awards modified, repurchased or cancelled after January 1, 2006. Additionally, compensation cost for the portion of awards for which the requisite service has not been rendered (generally referring to non-vested awards) that are outstanding as of January 1, 2006, must be recognized as the remaining requisite service is rendered during the period of and/or the periods after the adoption of SFAS 123R. The attribution of compensation cost for those earlier awards will be based on the same method and on the same grant-date fair values previously determined for

the pro forma disclosures required for companies that did not adopt the fair value accounting method for stock-based employee compensation. Modified prospective application provides for no retroactive application to prior periods and no cumulative adjustment to equity accounts. In accordance with SFAS 123(R), unearned compensation on nonvested restricted stock has been reclassified to common stock effective January 1, 2006.

The following pro forma disclosures illustrate the effect on net income and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value method of SFAS No. 123 prior to January 1, 2006:

The Companys stock compensation plan is described more fully in Note 18.

2.     Cash and due from banks

By regulation, the Bank must meet reserve requirements as established by the Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) (approximately $27,209 and $17,220 at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively). Accordingly, the Bank complies with such requirements by holding cash and maintaining average reserve balances with the FRB in accordance with such regulations.

Management of the Company has the intent and ability to hold the investment securities classified as held-to-maturity until they mature, at which time the Company will receive full amortized cost value for such investment securities. Furthermore, as of December 31, 2006, management of the Company also had the intent and ability to hold the investment securities classified as available-for-sale for a period of time sufficient for a recovery of cost. The unrealized losses on the above investment securities are primarily due to increases in market interest rates over the yields available at the time the specific investment securities were purchased by the Company. Management of the Company expects the fair value of these investment securities to recover as the investment securities approach their maturity dates or repricing dates, or if market yields for such investment securities decline. Management of the Company does not believe that any of the investment
securities are impaired due to reasons of credit quality. Accordingly, management of the Company does not believe that any of the above gross unrealized losses on investment securities are other-than-temporary and, accordingly, no impairment adjustments have been recorded.

A substantial portion of the Banks loans are collateralized by real estate in four major markets (Central, Southern and Northwest Oregon, as well as the Boise, Idaho area), and, accordingly, the ultimate collectibility of a substantial portion of the Banks loan portfolio is susceptible to changes in the local economic conditions in such markets.

In the normal course of business, the Bank participates portions of loans to third-parties in order to extend the Banks lending capability or to mitigate risk. At December 31, 2006 and 2005, the portion of these loans participated to third-parties (which are not included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements) totaled approximately $78,115 and $34,343, respectively.

5.     Reserve for loan losses

Transactions in the reserve for loan losses for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 were as follows:

|                                           | 2006 |         | 2005 |   | 2004   |  
|------------------------------------------ | ---- | ------- | ---- | - | ------ | -

|Loans charged-off                          |      | (1,972  | )    |   | (1,266 | )
|Recoveries of loans previously charged-off |      | 690     |      |   | 492    |  
|Reserve for unfunded commitments           |      | (3,213) |      |   |       |  
|Reserve acquired from F&M                  |      | 7,392   |      |   |       |

|Balance at end of year                     | $    | 23,585  |      | $ | 14,688 |  

Starting in the fourth quarter of 2006, the Bank began classifying its reserve for unfunded loan commitments as other liabilities; prior to the fourth quarter of 2006, the reserve for unfunded loan commitments was included as a component of the reserve for loan losses in accordance with the industry practice of other banks in its peer group. Reserves for unfunded loan commitments totaled approximately $3,213, $2,753 and $2,077 at December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Loans on nonaccrual status at December 31, 2006 were approximately $2,679 and were insignificant at December 31, 2005. Interest income, which would have been realized on such nonaccrual loans outstanding at year-end, if they had remained current, was $163 for the year ended December 31, 2006, and insignificant for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004.

Loans contractually past due 90 days or more on which the Company continued to accrue interest at December 31, 2006 and 2005 were insignificant.

At December 31, 2006, impaired loans were approximately $2,679 and related specific valuation allowances were $363. The average recorded investment in impaired loans was approximately $896 for the year ended December 31, 2006. Interest income recognized for cash payments received on impaired loans for the year ended December 31, 2006 was insignificant. Impaired loans as of and for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 were insignificant.

6.     Mortgage banking activities

The Bank sells a predominant share of the mortgage loans it originates into the secondary market. However, it has retained the right to service sold loans with principal balances totaling approximately $495,000, $499,000 and $502,000 as of December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. These balances are not included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The sales of these mortgage loans are subject to technical underwriting requirements and related repurchase risks. However, as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, management is not aware of any mortgage loans which will have to be repurchased.

Mortgage loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or estimated market value. Market value is determined on an aggregate loan basis. At December 31, 2006 and 2005, mortgage loans held for sale were carried at cost, which approximated estimated market value.

Transactions in the Companys MSRs for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 were as follows:

|                             | 2006   |   | 2005   |   | 2004   |  
|---------------------------- | ------ | - | ------ | - | ------ | -

|Additions                    | 919    |   | 1,318  |   | 1,270  |  
|Amortization                 | (1,262 | ) | (1,542 | ) | (1,620 | )
|Impairment adjustments       |       |   |       |   | 325    |  
|Balance at end of year       | $4,096 |   | $4,439 |   | $4,663 |  

At December 31, 2006 and 2005, the fair value of the Companys MSRs was approximately $5,600 and $5,800, respectively. The key assumptions used in estimating the fair value of MSRs at December 31, 2006 included weighted-average mortgage prepayment rates of approximately 198% for the first year, 177% for the second year and 156% thereafter (189%, 169% and 149%, respectively, in 2005). A 9% discount rate was also applied in both years.

Changes in the valuation allowance for MSRs for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 were as follows:

|                             | 2006 |  | 2005 |  | 2004 |     
|---------------------------- | ---- |  | ---- |  | ---- | ----
|Balance at beginning of year | $   |  | $   |  | $    | 325 
|Impairment adjustments       |     |  |     |  |      | (325
|Balance at end of year       | $   |  | $   |  | $    |    

The Company analyzes its MSRs by underlying loan type and interest rate (primarily fixed and adjustable). The estimated fair values are obtained through an independent third-party valuation, utilizing future cash flows which incorporate numerous assumptions including servicing income, servicing costs, market discount rates, prepayment speeds, default rates and other market-driven data. Accordingly, changes in such assumptions could significantly effect the estimated fair values of the Companys MSRs.

Mortgage banking income, net, consisted of the following for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004:

|(A) |  | The Junior Subordinated Debentures (Debentures) were issued with substantially the same terms as the TPS and are the sole assets of the related trusts.

In accordance with industry practice, the Companys liability for the common securities has been included with the Debentures in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Management believes that at December 31, 2006 and 2005, the TPS meet applicable regulatory guidelines to qualify as Tier I capital.

Interest payments on all TPS are made on a quarterly basis on March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15.

10.      Other borrowings

The Bank participates in the FHLBs Cash Management Advance Program (the Program). At December 31, 2006, the Bank had $169,175 ($61,109 at December 31, 2005) in borrowings outstanding from the FHLB under the Program with fixed interest at rates ranging from 2.96% to 6.62%. All outstanding borrowings with the FHLB are collateralized by a blanket pledge agreement on the Banks FHLB stock, any funds on deposit with the FHLB, investment securities and loans. At December 31, 2006, the Bank had remaining available borrowings from the FHLB of approximately $616,456, given availability and sufficiency of eligible collateral. As of December 31, 2006, the Bank had collateral with which to pledge for borrowings totaling $315,036.

At December 31, 2006, the contractual maturities of the Banks FHLB borrowings outstanding were approximately as follows:

At December 31, 2006, the Bank had approximately $60,427 in available short-term borrowings from the FRB, collateralized by certain of the Banks loans. The FRB funds available include participation in the Treasury Tax and Loan program of the federal government. Access to this funding source is limited to $20,000 and is fully at the discretion of the U.S. Treasury. At December 31, 2006, the Bank had approximately $2,115 ($3,242 at December 31, 2005) in borrowings outstanding from the FRB. As an additional source of liquidity, the Bank had federal fund borrowing agreements with correspondent banks aggregating approximately $105,000 at December 31, 2006 ($31,500 at December 31, 2005).

11.     Mergers and acquisitions

F&M Holding Company

On April 20, 2006, the Company completed its acquisition of F&M to facilitate its expansion into the Idaho market. F&Ms banking subsidiary, Farmers & Merchants State Bank (FMSB), operated 11 branches in Boise, Idaho and surrounding markets, and now operates 12 branches under the Farmers & Merchants Bank name in Idaho. In exchange for 100% of the outstanding common stock of F&M, the stockholders of F&M received 6,656,249 shares of the Companys common stock (valued at $124,552) and $22,500 in cash (less a holdback of $3,902 related to the uncertain collectibility of specific F&M loans). The common stock issued was valued at $18.71 per share, representing an average of the closing market prices for two days before and after the date the acquisition terms were agreed to and announced.

Upon completion of this acquisition, F&M was merged into the Company. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities of F&M were recorded in the Companys consolidated balance sheet at their estimated fair market values as of the acquisition date. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.

At December 31, 2006, the holdback amount has been reduced to $3,268 as certain loans have either paid-off or been upgraded and therefore removed from the holdback.

Community Bank of Grants Pass

On January 1, 2004, the Company acquired CBGP to complement its expansion into Southern Oregon. The acquisition of CBGP was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting, and, accordingly, the purchase price was allocated to the underlying assets and liabilities of CBGP based on their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition.

CBGP shareholders received one share of the Companys common stock for each share of CBGP common stock (965,940 shares), aggregating a total purchase price of approximately $11,699. In connection with the acquisition, the Company recorded goodwill of approximately $6,352. Upon completion of the acquisition, CBGP was fully merged into the Bank. The operating results of CBGP are included in the Companys consolidated financial statements effective January 1, 2004.

12.     Core deposit intangibles

Net unamortized CDI totaled $11,082 and $371 at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Amortization expense related to the CDI during the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 totaled $1,089 and $78, respectively. At December 31, 2006, the forecasted CDI annual amortization expense for each of the next five years and thereafter is as follows:

13.      Commitments, guarantees and contingencies

In the ordinary course of business, the Bank is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, commitments under credit card lines of credit and standby letters of credit. These financial instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest-rate risk in excess of amounts recognized in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The contractual amounts of these financial instruments reflect the extent of the Banks involvement in these particular classes of financial instruments. As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Bank had no commitments to extend credit at below-market interest rates and held no significant derivative financial instruments.

The Banks exposure to credit loss for commitments to extend credit, commitments under credit card lines of credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of these instruments. The Company follows the same credit policies in underwriting and offering commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet financial instruments.

A summary of the Banks off-balance sheet financial instruments at December 31, 2006 and 2005 is approximately as follows:

2006

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require the payment of fees. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Bank applies established credit related standards and underwriting practices in evaluating the creditworthiness of such obligors. The amount of collateral obtained, if it is deemed necessary by the Bank upon the extension of credit, is based on managements credit evaluation of the counterparty.

The Bank typically does not obtain collateral related to credit card commitments. Collateral held for other commitments varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property and equipment, residential real estate and income-producing commercial properties.

Standby letters of credit are written conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third-party. These guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements. In the event the customer does not perform in accordance with the terms of the agreement with the third-party, the Bank would be required to fund the commitment. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Bank could be required to make is represented by the contractual amount of the commitment. If the commitment were funded, the Bank would be entitled to seek recovery from the customer. The Banks policies generally require that standby letter of credit arrangements contain security and debt covenants similar to those involved in extending loans to customers. The credit risk involved in issuing standby letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers.

The Bank considers the fees collected in connection with the issuance of standby letters of credit to be representative of the fair value of its obligations undertaken in issuing the guarantees. In accordance with accounting standards generally accepted in the United States related to guarantees, the Bank defers fees collected in connection with the issuance of standby letters of credit. The fees are then recognized in income proportionately over the life of the standby letter of credit agreement. At December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Banks deferred standby letter of credit fees, which represent the fair value of the Banks potential obligations under the standby letter of credit guarantees, were insignificant to the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The Bank also has certain lending commitments for conforming residential mortgage loans to be sold into the secondary market which are considered derivative instruments under the guidelines of
SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended by SFAS No. 149. However, in the opinion of management, such derivative amounts are not significant, and, therefore, no derivative assets or liabilities are recorded in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

The Bank leases certain land and facilities under operating leases, some of which include renewal options and escalation clauses. At December 31, 2006, the aggregate minimum rental commitments under operating leases that have initial or remaining non-cancelable lease terms in excess of one year were approximately as follows:

2007
$
2,0632008

1,9702009

1,6802010

1,2192011

976Thereafter

6,343$
14,251


Total rental expense was approximately $1,801, $1,254 and $1,166 in 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

The Company has entered into employment contracts and benefit plans with certain executive officers and members of the Board that allow for payments (or accelerated payments) contingent upon a change in control of the Company.

In the ordinary course of business, the Bank becomes involved in various litigation arising from normal banking activities. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these actions will not have a material adverse effect on the Companys consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2006.

14.     Income taxes

The provision (credit) for income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 was approximately as follows:

|                                 |  | 2006 |        | 2005 |        | 2004

      taxes |  | $    | 21,791 |      | $      | 12,934

The provision for income taxes results in effective tax rates which are different than the federal income tax statutory rate. The nature of the differences for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005, and 2004 were approximately as follows:

|                                          |  | 2006 |        | 2005 |   | 2004

Management believes, based upon the Companys historical performance, the net deferred tax assets will be recognized in the normal course of operations, and, accordingly, management has not reduced net deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance.

15.     Basic and diluted earnings per common share

The Companys basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. 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 and nonvested restricted stock. All share and per share amounts have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the 5-for-4 stock splits declared in 2006 and 2004.

The numerators and denominators used in computing basic and diluted earnings per common share for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 can be reconciled as follows:

16.     Transactions with related parties

Certain officers and directors (and the companies with which they are associated) are customers of, and have had banking transactions with, the Bank in the ordinary course of the Banks business. In addition, the Bank expects to continue to have such banking transactions in the future. All loans, and commitments to loan, to such parties are generally made on the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with other persons. In the opinion of management, these transactions do not involve more than the normal risk of collectibility or present any other unfavorable features.

An analysis of activity with respect to loans to officers and directors of the Bank for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 was approximately as follows:

|                             |  | 2006 |        | 2005

17.     Benefit plans

401(k) profit sharing plan

The Company maintains a 401(k) profit sharing plan (the Plan) that covers substantially all full-time employees. Employees may make voluntary tax-deferred contributions to the Plan, and the Companys contributions related to the Plan are at the discretion of the Board, not to exceed the amount deductible for federal income tax purposes.

Employees vest in the Companys contributions to the Plan over a period of five years. The total amounts charged to operations under the Plan were approximately $1,899, $1,019 and $1,481 for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

Prior to 2005, employees had the option to receive a portion of the Companys contributions to the Plan in cash. Beginning in 2005, the Company elected to discontinue this option and utilized such funds to increase certain employees base salaries. This was to align this benefit with the Companys philosophy of pay for performance.

Other benefit plans

The Bank has deferred compensation plans for the Board and certain key executives and managers, a salary continuation plan, a supplemental executive retirement (SERP) plan for certain key executives and a fee continuation plan for the Board. In accordance with the provisions of the deferred compensation plans, participants can elect to defer portions of their annual compensation or fees. The deferred amounts generally vest as deferred. The deferred compensation plus interest is generally payable upon termination in either a lump-sum or monthly installments.

The salary continuation and SERP plans for certain key executives and the fee continuation plan for the Board provides specified benefits to the participants upon termination or change of control. The benefits are subject to certain vesting requirements, and vested amounts are generally payable upon termination or change of control in either a lump-sum or monthly installments. The Bank annually expenses amounts sufficient to accrue for the present value of the benefits payable to the participants under these plans. These plans also include death benefit provisions for certain participants. Effective in 2004, the fee continuation plan was discontinued for future members of the Board.

To assist in the funding of these plans, the Bank has purchased bank-owned life insurance policies on the majority of the participants. The cash surrender value of the general account policies at December 31, 2006 and 2005 was approximately $6,697 and $16,047, respectively. The cash surrender value of the separate account policies, including the value of the stable value wraps, was approximately $25,033 at December 31, 2006. At December 31, 2006 and 2005, the liabilities related to the deferred compensation plans included in accrued interest and other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets totaled approximately $4,312 and $3,118, respectively. The amount of expense charged to operations in 2006, 2005 and 2004 related to the deferred compensation plans was approximately $1,035, $701 and $476, respectively. As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, the liabilities related to the salary continuation, SERP and fee continuation plans included in accrued
interest and other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets totaled approximately $5,269 and $3,000, respectively. The amount of expense charged to operations in 2006, 2005 and 2004 for the salary continuation, SERP and fee continuation plans was approximately $934, $1,084 and $611, respectively. For financial reporting purposes, such expense amounts have not been adjusted for income earned on the bank-owned life insurance policies.

18.     Stock-based compensation plans

Under the Companys stock-based compensation plans approved by shareholders, the Company may grant Incentive Stock Options (ISOs), Non-qualified Stock Options (NSOs) and/or restricted stock to key employees and directors. These stock-based compensation plans were established to reward employees and directors who contribute to the

(Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)

success and profitability of the Company and to give such employees and directors a proprietary interest in the Company, thereby enhancing their personal interest in the Companys continued success. These plans also assist the Company in attracting and retaining key employees and qualified corporate directors.

The stock-based compensation plans prescribe various terms and conditions for the granting of stock-based compensation and the total number of shares authorized for this purpose. For ISOs, the option strike price must be no less than 100% of the stock price at the grant date; and for NSOs, the option strike price can be no less than 85% of the stock price at the grant date, and all grants to date have been at 100%. Restricted stock must be at fair market value on grant date. At December 31, 2006, 486,622 shares reserved under the stock-based compensation plans were available for future grants. Generally, options become exercisable in varying amounts based on years of employee service and vesting schedules. All options expire after a period of ten years from the date of grant.

The Company used the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions to value options granted:

|                        |  | 2006    |  | 2005    |  | 2004   
|----------------------- |  | ------- |  | ------- |  | -------
|Dividend yield          |  | 1.4%    |  | 1.7%    |  | 1.6%   
|Expected volatility     |  | 34.2%   |  | 38.5%   |  | 43.6%  
|Risk-free interest rate |  | 4.3%    |  | 3.7%    |  | 3.1%   
|Expected option lives   |  | 6 years |  | 6 years |  | 6 years

The dividend yield is based on historical dividend information. The expected volatility is based on historical volatility of the Companys common stock price. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the date of grant for periods corresponding with the expected lives of the options granted. The expected option lives represent the period of time that options are expected to be outstanding giving consideration to vesting schedules and historical exercise and forfeiture patterns.

The Black-Scholes option-pricing model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of publicly-traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. Additionally, the model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions. Because the Companys stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of publicly-traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimates, in the opinion of the Companys management, the Black-Scholes option-pricing model does not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of the Companys stock options. The weighted-average fair value of stock options granted was $7.50 for 2006, $5.55 for 2005 and $5.10 for 2004.

The following table presents the activity related to options under all plans for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005, and 2004.

The total intrinsic value of outstanding stock options and outstanding exercisable stock options was $16,357 and $12,640 at December 31, 2006. The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised was $8,400 in 2006, $2,646 in 2005 and $2,654 in 2004. The total fair value of stock options vested for the years ended 2006, 2005 and 2004 was $1,988, $75 and $1,025, respectively.

As of December 31, 2006, unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested restricted stock totaled $1,070, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average life of two years. Total expense recognized by the Company for nonvested restricted stock for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 was $545, $304, and $125, respectively. The following table presents the activity for nonvested restricted stock for the year ended December 31, 2006:

In addition, during 2006, the Company granted 42,673 shares of nonvested restricted stock at a market value of $20.72 per share (approximately $884,000) and 13,773 shares of nonvested restricted stock at a market value of $22.71 (approximately $313,000). During 2005 the Company granted 39,045 shares of nonvested restricted stock at a market value of $15.12 (approximately $590,000). The nonvested restricted stock is scheduled to vest over periods ranging from one to five years from the grant dates. The nonvested restricted stock is reported as unearned compensation on nonvested restricted stock in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2005. Effective January 1, 2006, unearned compensation on nonvested restricted stock has been reclassified to common stock in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123R. The unearned compensation on restricted stock is being amortized to expense on a straight-line basis over the applicable vesting periods.

As a result of applying the provisions of SFAS 123R during 2006, the Corporation recognized additional stockbased compensation expense related to stock options of $605, or $376 net of tax. The increase in stockbased compensation expense related to stock options resulted in a $0.02 decrease in both basic and diluted earnings per share during 2006.

19.     Estimated fair value of financial instruments

The following disclosures are made in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, which requires the disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments where it is practicable to estimate that value.

In cases where quoted market values are not available, the Company primarily uses present value techniques to estimate the fair value of its financial instruments. Valuation methods require considerable judgment, and the resulting estimates of fair value can be significantly affected by the assumptions made and methods used. Accordingly, the estimates provided herein do not necessarily indicate amounts which could be realized in a current market exchange.

In addition, as the Company normally intends to hold the majority of its financial instruments until maturity, it does not expect to realize many of the estimated amounts disclosed. The disclosures also do not include estimated fair value amounts for items which are not defined as financial instruments but which may have significant value. The Company does not believe that it would be practicable to estimate a representational fair value for these types of items as of December 31, 2006 and 2005.

Because SFAS No. 107 excludes certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial instruments from its disclosure requirements, any aggregation of the fair value amounts presented would not represent the underlying value of the Company.

The Company uses the following methods and assumptions to estimate the fair value of its financial instruments:

Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amount approximates the estimated fair value of these instruments.

Investment securities: The market value of investment securities, which is based on quoted market values or the market values for comparable securities, represents estimated fair value.

FHLB stock: The carrying amount approximates the estimated fair value.

Loans: The estimated fair value of loans is calculated by discounting the contractual cash flows of the loans using December 31, 2006 and 2005 origination rates. The resulting amounts are adjusted to estimate the effect of changes in the credit quality of borrowers since the loans were originated.

Bank-owned life insurance: The carrying amount approximates the estimated fair value of these instruments.

Deposits: The estimated fair value of demand deposits, consisting of checking, interest bearing demand and savings deposit accounts, is represented by the amounts payable on demand. At the reporting date, the estimated fair value of time deposits is calculated by discounting the scheduled cash flows using the December 31, 2006 and 2005 rates offered on those instruments.

Junior subordinated debentures and other borrowings: The fair value of the Banks junior subordinated debentures and other borrowings are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the Banks December 31, 2006 and 2005 incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.

Customer repurchase agreements: The carrying value approximates the estimated fair value.

Loan commitments and standby letters of credit: The majority of the Banks commitments to extend credit have variable interest rates and escape clauses if the customers credit quality deteriorates. Therefore, the fair values of these items are not significant and are not included in the following table.

|Customer repurchase agreements |          | 44,018    |           

20.     Regulatory matters

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

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the tables below) of Tier 1 capital to average assets and Tier 1 and total capital to risk-weighted assets (all as defined in the regulations). Management believes that as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company and the Bank met or exceeded all relevant capital adequacy requirements.

As of December 31, 2006, the most recent notifications from the FRB and the FDIC categorized the Company and the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt correction action. To be categorized as well capitalized, the Company and the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the table. There are no conditions or events since the notifications from the regulators that management believes would change the Companys or the Banks regulatory capital categorization.

ITEM 9A.     CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedure

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act of 1934, the Company carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Companys management, including the Companys Chief Executive Officer and the Companys Chief Financial Officer. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

Changes in Internal Controls

During 2006, the Company had no changes to identified internal controls that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.

Managements Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

The management of Cascade Bancorp and its subsidiary, Bank of the Cascades (collectively, the Company) is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, and preparing annual consolidated financial statements presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The Companys internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance to the Companys management and board of directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements. The Companys internal control system contains monitoring mechanisms and actions are taken to correct identified deficiencies.

There are inherent limitations in the effectiveness of any internal control, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of controls. Accordingly, even effective internal control can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation. Further, because of changes in conditions, the effectiveness of internal control may vary over time.

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

It is also managements responsibility to ensure satisfactory compliance with all designated laws regulations, and in particular, those laws and regulations concerning loans to insiders and dividend restrictions. Management also believes that there was satisfactory compliance during 2006 with designated laws and regulations.

The Companys independent registered public accounting firm, Symonds, Evans & Company, P.C., have issued an audit report on our assessment of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. This report appears on page 41 of this annual report.
