EVERGREENBANCORP, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization.EvergreenBancorp, Inc. (“Bancorp”) was formed February 9, 2001 and is a Washington corporation chartered as a bank holding company. Bancorp holds all of the issued and outstanding shares of EvergreenBank (“the Bank”). The Bank is a Washington state chartered financial institution established in 1971 that engages in general commercial and consumer banking operations. Deposits in the Bank are insured to a maximum of $100,000 per depositor (in some instances up to $250,000 per deposit account, depending on the ownership category of the account) by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“the FDIC”).
Bancorp and the Bank are collectively referred to as “the Company.” EvergreenBancorp Statutory Trust II (“Trust II”) and EvergreenBancorp Statutory Trust III (“Trust III”) are special purpose business trusts formed by Bancorp in November 2006 and April 2007, respectively, to raise capital through trust preferred securities offerings. Under current accounting guidance, FASB Interpretation No. 46, as revised in December 2003, Trust II and Trust III are not consolidated with the Company.
The Bank offers a broad spectrum of personal and business banking services, including commercial, consumer, and real estate lending. The Bank’s offices are centered in the Puget Sound region in the Seattle, Lynnwood, Bellevue, Federal Way and Kent communities.
Operating Segments. While the Company’s management monitors the revenue streams of the various products and services, operations are managed and financial performance is evaluated on a Company-wide basis. Accordingly, all of the Company’s banking operations are considered by management to be aggregated in one reportable segment.
Principles of consolidation.The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the combined accounts of Bancorp and the Bank for all periods reported. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Critical accounting policies and use of estimates.The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, including contingent amounts, at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management has identified certain policies as being particularly sensitive in terms of judgments and the extent to which estimates are used. These policies relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses on loans, other than temporary impairment of securities, contingencies and guarantees, and the fair value of financial instruments and are described in greater detail in subsequent sections of Management’s Discussion and Analysis and in the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007. Management believes that the judgments, estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the financial statements are appropriate given the factual circumstances at the time. However, given the sensitivity of the financial statements to these critical accounting policies, estimates and assumptions, material differences in the results of operations or financial condition could result.
Newly issued accounting pronouncements. In December 2007 the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141R,Business Combinations. SFAS 141R replaces the current standard on business combinations and will significantly change the accounting for and reporting of business combinations in consolidated financial statements. This statement requires an entity to measure the business acquired at fair value and to recognize goodwill attributable to any noncontrolling interests (previously referred to as minority interests) rather than just the portion attributable to the acquirer. The statement will also result in fewer exceptions to the principle of measuring assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination at fair value. In addition, the statement will result in payments to third parties for consulting, legal, and similar services associated with an acquisition to be recognized as expenses when incurred rather than capitalized as part of the business combination. SFAS 141R is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008.
- 7 -
On March 19, 2008, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 161,Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—an Amendment of FASB Statement 133. Statement 161 enhances required disclosures regarding derivatives and hedging activities, including enhanced disclosures regarding how: (a) an entity uses derivative instruments; (b) derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under FASB Statement No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities; and (c) derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. Specifically, Statement 161 requires: disclosure of the objectives for using derivative instruments be disclosed in terms of underlying risk and accounting designation; disclosure of the fair values of derivative instruments and their gains and losses in a tabular format; disclosure of information about credit-risk-related contingent features; and cross-reference from the derivative footnote to other footnotes in which derivative-related information is disclosed. Statement 161 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008.
Adoption of new accounting standards.In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 157,Fair Value Measurements. This Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This Statement establishes a fair value hierarchy about the assumptions used to measure fair value and clarifies assumptions about risk and the effect of a restriction on the sale or use of an asset. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. In February 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position (FSP) 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157. This FSP delays the effective date of FAS 157 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis (at least annually) to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The impact of adoption was not material. See Note 7, “Fair Value” for disclosures related to the adoption of SFAS 157.
In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 159,The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The standard provides companies with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value and establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. The Company did not elect the fair value option for any financial assets or financial liabilities as of January 1, 2008, the effective date of the standard.
Note 2: Stock options
Stock option and equity compensation plan.In April of 2000, the shareholders of the Bank adopted the 2000 Stock Option Plan that was subsequently adopted by Bancorp as a result of the holding company formation. In April of 2003, the shareholders of Bancorp approved an amendment to the 2000 Stock Option Plan to increase the number of shares available under the plan by 66,000. In April 2006, the shareholders adopted the Second Amended 2000 Stock Option and Equity Compensation Plan which allows greater flexibility in the type of equity compensation to be awarded and to the terms of such awards. In April 2008, the shareholders adopted the Stock Option and Equity Compensation Plan (“Amended Plan”) which increased the number of shares available under the plan by 120,000. Up to 449,724 shares of common stock may be awarded under the Amended Plan. Awards available under the plan are subject to adjustment for all stock dividends and stock splits paid by the Company. As of March 31, 2008, approximately 140,507 shares of common stock were available for future grant under the Amended Plan.
In addition to stock options, the Amended Plan provides for the granting of restricted stock, stock appreciation rights, and restricted stock units. All employees, officers, and directors of the Company or a related corporation, and independent contractors who perform services for the Company or a related corporation, are eligible to be granted awards. The terms of each award are set forth in individual award agreements.
Stock options. All outstanding nonqualified stock options awarded to date to employees vest over a five-year period and expire after ten years from the date of grant. All outstanding nonqualified stock options awarded to date to directors vest over a three-year period and expire after three years, three months from the date of grant.
The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using a closed form option valuation (Black-Scholes) model that uses the assumptions noted in the table below. Expected volatilities are based on historical volatilities of the Company’s common stock. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise and post-vesting termination behavior. Employee and director options are tracked separately. The expected term of options granted is based on historical data and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant.
- 8 -
During the first quarter of 2008, there were no options granted or forfeited and 8,242 options were exercised.
During the first quarter of 2007, 6,000 nonqualified stock options were granted, none were exercised, and 364 options were forfeited. The weighted average fair value of individual options granted during the first quarter of 2007 was $3.78.
The fair value of options granted during the first quarter of 2007 was determined using the following weighted-average assumptions as of grant date.
| | | |
| | 2007 | |
Risk-free interest rate | | 4.47 | % |
Expected option life | | 6.5 years | |
Expected stock price volatility | | 20 | % |
Dividend yield | | 1.8 | % |
A summary of activity in the stock option plan for the first quarter of 2008 follows:
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | Shares | | Weighted- Average Exercise Price | | Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term | | Aggregate Intrinsic Value |
Outstanding at the beginning of the year | | 198,628 | | $ | 10.43 | | | | | |

| | | | | | | | | | |
Vested or expected to vest | | 180,867 | | $ | 10.58 | | 4.95 years | | $ | 392,481 |
| | | | | | | | | | |
As of March 31, 2008, there was $164,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to outstanding stock options granted under the Plan. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.07 years.
Stock Awards. Restricted stock awards provide for the immediate issuance of shares of Company common stock to the recipient. In the event the shares are granted subject to certain conditions or vesting schedules, such shares are held in escrow until those conditions are met, or until such shares have vested. Recipients of restricted shares do not pay any cash consideration to the Company for the shares, have the right to vote all shares subject to such grant, and receive all dividends with respect to such shares, whether or not the shares have vested. The fair value of share awards is equal to the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant.
There were no awards of restricted stock granted in the first quarter of 2007 or 2008.

A summary of the status of the Company’s nonvested awards as of March 31, 2008 is as follows:
| | | | | |
Nonvested Shares | | Shares | | Weighted-Average Grant-Date Fair Value |
Nonvested at January 1, 2008 | | 18,500 | | $ | 14.75 |

As of March 31, 2008, there was $236,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested stock awards granted under the Plan. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.82 years.
Note 3: Securities

At March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, securities with unrealized losses have an aggregate depreciation of 0.6 percent and 1.1 percent, respectively, from the Company’s amortized cost basis. The unrealized losses are predominately the result of changing market values due to increasing short-term market interest rates, and are expected to regain the lost value with stable or declining interest rates and, accordingly, are considered as temporary. No credit issues have been identified that cause management to believe the declines in market value are other than temporary. The Company has the ability and intent to hold these securities until recovery, which may be maturity.

Note 4: Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share of common stock is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of common stock shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share of common stock is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the effect of the assumed conversion of outstanding stock options and nonvested stock awards.All computations of basic and diluted earnings per share are adjusted for all applicable stock splits and dividends paid on the Company’s common stock.
A reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share of common stock is as follows (in thousands, except share and per share data):

For the diluted earnings per share calculation for the three month period ended March 31, 2008 77,871 were considered anti-dilutive. Further, for the period ended March 31, 2008 17,500 nonvested stock awards were excluded from the dilutive earnings per share calculation.
Note 5: Retirement Benefits
The Company participates in a defined contribution retirement plan. The 401(k) plan permits all salaried employees to contribute up to a maximum of 15 percent of annual gross salary. For the first 6 percent, the Company contributes two dollars for each dollar the employee contributes. Partial vesting of Company contributions to the plan begins at 20 percent after two years of employment, and such contributions are 100 percent vested with five years of employment. The Company’s contributions to the plan for the quarters ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 were $140,000 and $89,000, respectively.
In 2007, the Company also participated in a multiple-employer defined benefit post-retirement health care plan that provided medical and dental coverage to directors and surviving spouses and to employees who retire after age 62 and 15 years of full-time service and their dependents. On November 30, 2007 the post-retirement plan was terminated. The following table shows post-retirement plan information for the first quarter of 2007.

Note 6: Junior Subordinated Debt
In April 2007, the Company formed EvergreenBancorp Statutory Trust III (“Trust III”) a statutory trust formed under the laws of the State of Delaware. Trust III issued $5 million in trust preferred securities in a private placement offering. Simultaneously with the issuance of the trust preferred securities by Trust III, the Company issued junior subordinated debentures to Trust III. The junior subordinated debentures are the sole assets of Trust III. The junior subordinated debentures and the trust preferred securities pay distributions and dividends, respectively, on a quarterly basis, which are included in interest expense. The interest rate payable on the debentures and the trust preferred securities resets quarterly and is equal to the three-month LIBOR plus 1.65 percent (4.45 percent at March 31, 2008). The junior subordinated debentures are redeemable at par beginning in December 2012; the debentures will mature in June 2037, at which time the preferred securities must be redeemed. The Company has the option to defer interest payments on these subordinated debentures from time to time for a period not to exceed twenty consecutive quarterly periods. In July of 2007, the Company used the net proceeds from the trust preferred issuance to call $5 million of trust preferred securities issued in May 2002 and concurrently redeemed related trust preferred securities issued to the public.
In November 2006, Bancorp formed EvergreenBancorp Statutory Trust II (“Trust II”) a statutory trust formed under the laws of the State of Connecticut. In November 2006, Trust II issued $7 million in trust preferred securities in a private placement offering. Simultaneously with the issuance of the trust preferred securities by Trust II, Bancorp issued junior subordinated debentures to Trust II. The junior subordinated debentures are the sole assets of Trust II. The junior subordinated debentures and the trust preferred securities pay distributions and dividends, respectively, on a quarterly basis, which are included in interest expense. The interest rate payable on the debentures and the trust preferred securities resets quarterly and is equal to the three-month LIBOR plus 1.70 percent (4.50 percent at March 31, 2008). The junior subordinated debentures are redeemable at par beginning in December 2011; the debentures will mature in December 2036, at which time the preferred securities must be redeemed. The Company has the option to defer interest payments on these subordinated debentures from time to time for a period not to exceed twenty consecutive quarterly periods. Bancorp has provided a full, irrevocable, and unconditional guarantee on a subordinated basis of the obligations of Trust II under the preferred securities as set forth in such guarantee agreement.
Under current accounting guidance, FASB Interpretation No. 46, as revised in December 2003, Trust II and Trust III are not consolidated with the Company. Accordingly, the Company does not report the securities issued by Trust II and Trust III as liabilities, and instead reports as liabilities the subordinated debentures issued by the Company and held by Trust II and Trust III, as these are not eliminated in consolidation. The Company’s investment in the common stock of Trust II and Trust III was $217,000 and $155,000, respectively, and is included in accrued interest and other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Note 7: Fair Value
FASB Statement No. 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.
Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing and asset or liability.
The fair values of securities available for sale are determined by matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique widely used to in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities (Level 2 inputs).
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below:

The valuation allowance for these loans was $1,199,000 at March 31, 2008 as compared to $630,000 at December 31, 2007. An additional provision for loan losses of $1,067,000 was made during the quarter ended March 31, 2008 relating to impaired loans.
ITEM 2. | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
The Bank’s results of operations primarily depend on net interest income, which is the difference between interest income on loans and investments and interest expense on deposits and borrowed funds. The Bank’s operating results are also affected by loan fees, service charges on deposit accounts, net merchant credit card processing fees, gains from sales of loans and investments, and other noninterest income. Operating expenses of the Bank include employee compensation and benefits, occupancy and equipment costs, data processing, professional fees, marketing, state and local taxes, federal deposit insurance premiums, and other administrative expenses.
- 13 -
The Bank’s results of operations are further affected by economic and competitive conditions, particularly changes in market interest rates. Results are also affected by monetary and fiscal policies of federal agencies, and actions of regulatory authorities.
The following discussion contains a review of the consolidated operating results and financial condition of the Company for the first quarter of 2008. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes contained elsewhere in this report. When warranted, comparisons are made to the same periods in 2007 and to the previous year ended December 31, 2007. For additional information, refer to the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.
Forward-Looking Statements

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
The profitability of the Company’s operations depends primarily on the net interest income from its banking operations and investment activities, the provision for losses on loans, noninterest income, noninterest expense, and income tax expense. Net interest income is the difference between the interest income the Company receives on its loan and investment portfolios and its cost of funds, which consists of interest paid on deposits and borrowings. The provision for loan losses reflects the cost of credit risk in the Company’s loan portfolio. Noninterest income includes service charges on deposit accounts, net merchant credit card processing fees, gains (losses) from sales of investment securities, and investment services commissions. Noninterest expense includes operating costs such as salaries and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment, data processing, professional fees, marketing, state and local taxes, and other administrative expense.
Net interest income is dependent on the amounts and yields on interest-earning assets as compared to the amounts and rates on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income is sensitive to changes in market rates of interest and the Company’s asset/liability management procedures in dealing with such changes.
- 14 -
The provision for loan losses is dependent on management’s assessment of the collectibility of the loan portfolio under current economic conditions. Other expenses are influenced by the growth of operations, with additional employees necessary to staff and operate new banking offices and marketing expenses necessary to promote them. Growth in the number of account relationships directly affects expenses such as technology costs, supplies, postage, and miscellaneous expenses.
Capital activities in the first quarter of 2008 included a quarterly cash dividend paid in February. Capital ratios remain strong with the equity-to-assets ratio at 6.76 percent at March 31, 2008.
Net Income
Three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007
For the first quarter of 2008, the Company reported net income of $3,407,000 compared to $656,000 for the first quarter of 2007, an increase of 419 percent. The primary reason for the increase in net income was an increase in noninterest income due to a gain totaling $5,587,000 that the Company realized as a result of Visa, Inc.’s initial public offering (“IPO”). Please refer to the section entitled “Noninterest Income/Expense” for further discussion of the gain resulting from Visa’s IPO. In addition, net interest income rose as a result of growth in average interest-bearing asset balances. These increases were offset by a larger provision for loan losses of $1,832,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 as compared to $263,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 and an increase in noninterest expense of $359,000 due to growth of the Company and increased FDIC insurance premiums.
Basic and diluted earnings per common share were $1.42 and $1.41, respectively, for the first quarter of 2008, compared to $0.28 and $0.27, respectively, for the same period one year ago.
For the first quarter of 2008, annualized return on average common equity and return on average assets was 53.05 percent and 3.25 percent, respectively, compared to 10.97 percent and 0.74 percent, respectively, for the same period one year ago.
Additional analysis of financial components is contained in the discussion that follows. Unless otherwise stated, comparisons are between the first quarter 2008 and 2007.
Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin
The Company’s principal source of earnings is net interest income, which is the difference between interest income on loans and investments and interest expense on deposits and borrowed funds. Several factors can contribute to changes in net interest income, such as changes in average balances or in the rates on earning assets and rates paid for interest-bearing liabilities, the level of noninterest-bearing deposits, and the level of nonaccrual loans.
Net interest income, before the provision for loan losses, was $3,964,000 for the first quarter of 2008, compared to $3,639,000 for the same period in 2007, an increase of 9 percent. Interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $7,471,000 compared to $6,751,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007, an increase of $720,000 or 11 percent. The increase in interest income was primarily due to the growth of the average interest-earning assets, which were $407,093,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 as compared with $336,921,000 for the same quarter in the prior year, an increase of $70,172,000 or 21 percent. The average yield on interest-earning assets decreased 77 basis points from 8.15 percent for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 to 7.38 percent for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 reflecting the significant drop in short-term interest rates that began in September 2007. However, the decrease in average rates was more than offset by the increase in average balances. The increase in interest earning assets was mostly attributable to the growth in the loan portfolio, specifically in real estate loans. Average balances in real estate loans grew $69,539,000, or 36 percent from the first quarter of 2007 to the same period in 2008. Offsetting the increase in interest-bearing assets was a decrease in average investment securities balances, which fell $13,850,000 or 47 percent from the first quarter of 2007 to the first quarter of 2008. The primary reason for this decrease was the sale of an investment totaling $14,762,000 completed in November of 2007 to provide liquidity to the Company to fund loan growth.
- 15 -
Offsetting the increase in interest income was an increase in interest expense, which for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $3,507,000 compared to $3,112,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007, an increase of $395,000 or 13 percent. Average rates paid on interest-bearing deposits decreased 28 basis points from 4.24 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2007 to 3.96 percent for the same period in 2008. Average rates paid on Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) advances dropped 104 basis points from an average of 5.29 percent for the first quarter of 2007 to 4.25 percent for the same period this year. Both rate decreases reflect the recent drop in interest rates since late 2007. This decrease in average rates was more than offset by an increase in average interest-bearing liabilities. Average interest-bearing deposits increased from $207,472,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 to $257,118,000, or 24 percent for the same period ended March 31, 2008. The average balance in FHLB advances increased for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 to $72,843,000. This was a $21,390,000, or 42 percent, increase from the same period last year.
The net interest margin, which is the ratio of taxable-equivalent net interest income to average earning assets, was 3.92 percent for the first three months of 2008 compared to 4.40 percent for the same period one year ago. The weighted average yield on interest-earning assets was 7.38 percent for the first three months of 2008 compared to 8.15 percent in the first quarter of 2007, a decrease of 77 basis points. Interest expense as a percentage of average earning assets was 3.45 percent for the first three months of 2008 compared to 3.75 percent in the first quarter of 2007, a decrease of 30 basis points. The decrease in the yield on interest-earning assets was larger than the decrease in yields on interest-bearing liabilities which caused compression of the net interest margin. This is primarily due to the Company’s interest-earning assets repricing more quickly than its interest-bearing liabilities as interest rates declined during the first quarter of 2008.
Yields on certain asset categories and the net interest margin of the Company and its banking subsidiaries are reviewed on a fully taxable-equivalent basis (“FTE”). In this non-GAAP presentation, net interest income is adjusted to reflect tax-exempt interest income on an equivalent before-tax basis. This measure ensures comparability of net interest income arising from both taxable and tax-exempt sources. The following table shows the reconciliation between net interest income and the taxable-equivalent net interest income as of March 31, 2008 and March 31, 2007:

Noninterest Income/Expense
Noninterest income in the first quarter of 2008 was $6,023,000 compared to $475,000 in the same quarter of 2007, an increase of $5,548,000 or 1168 percent. The increase was primarily due to a gain of $5,587,000 resulting from Visa, Inc’s IPO that occurred in March 2008. This amount included a cash gain of $3,465,000 recorded from the mandatory redemption of a portion of the Company’s Visa shares. An additional non-cash gain of $2,122,000 was recorded as a result of Visa establishing an escrow account to cover certain litigation judgments and settlements that the Company had recorded in the fourth quarter of 2007. This gain was offset by a $20,000 decline in merchant credit card processing income, the result of a reduction in merchant credit card processing activity of one merchant relationship.
Noninterest expense was $3,254,000 in the first quarter of 2008, compared to $2,895,000 in the same quarter of 2007, an increase of $359,000 or 12 percent. The increase was partially due to a rise in occupancy and equipment expense related to the opening of the new Kent branch and also additional office space leased in the first quarter of 2008. Data processing fees increased 20 percent from the first quarter in 2007 to the same quarter in 2008 due to costs related to a change in the Company’s core data processor completed in the second quarter of 2007. Professional fees increased quarter to quarter primarily due to a rise in accounting fees related to certain accounting transactions completed in the last year. State and local taxes increased 70 percent quarter over quarter due to increased revenue. Other noninterest expense increased 52 percent primarily due to increased Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance premiums and increased expense due to the general growth of the Company.
Income tax expense
The Company recognized income tax expense of $1,494,000 during the first quarter of 2008, up from $300,000 in the same quarter of 2007, an increase of 398 percent or $1,194,000. The increase is primarily due to a $3,945,000 increase in income before income taxes over the prior period. The effective income tax rate for the first quarter of 2008 was 30 percent compared with 31 percent for the first quarter of 2007.
Provision for Loan Losses
Included in the results of operations for the quarters ended March 31, 2008 and March 31, 2007 is expense of $1,832,000 and $263,000, respectively, related to the provision for loan losses. The increase in the provision for loan losses in the first quarter of 2008 as compared to first quarter of 2007 was a result of an increase in the allowance allocated to impaired loans, an increase in net charge-offs during the quarter, and adjustments made to the general reserve for the increased risk inherent in the loan portfolio due to the negative trends resulting from the continued deterioration of the national and local economy.
Please refer to Financial Condition, “Allowance for Loan Losses” for further discussion of the provision for loan losses.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Loans
At March 31, 2008, loans totaled $389,344,000 compared to $375,428,000 at December 31, 2007, an increase of $13,916,000 or 4 percent.
At March 31, 2008, the Bank had $322,997,000 in loans secured by real estate, which includes loans primarily for a commercial purpose, secured by real estate. The collectibility of a substantial portion of the loan portfolio is susceptible to changes in economic and market conditions in the region. The Bank generally requires collateral on all real estate exposures and typically maintains loan-to-value ratios of no greater than 80 percent.

Allowance for Loan Losses
Management evaluates the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses on a quarterly basis after consideration of a number of factors, including the volume and composition of the loan portfolio, impairment of individual loans, concentrations of credit, past loss experience, current delinquencies, information about specific borrowers, current economic conditions, and other factors. Although management believes the allowance for loan losses was at a level adequate to absorb probable incurred losses on existing loans at March 31, 2008, there can be no assurance that such losses will not exceed estimated amounts.
Over the past few months, significant deterioration in the national economy has become more apparent. To a much lesser degree, the local economy is also showing signs of slowdown. Residential real estate sales volumes have declined and the housing price appreciation experienced in the past few years has ended. While net loan charge-offs and the provision for loan losses both increased during the quarter, the Company is not experiencing broad-based credit quality deterioration in any segment of its loan portfolio. The Company recognizes, however, that further deterioration in the local economy could adversely affect cash flows for both commercial and individual borrowers. As a result, the Company could experience increases in problem assets, delinquencies and losses on loans.
At March 31, 2008, the allowance for loan losses was $5,271,000 compared to $4,166,000 at December 31, 2007. The ratio of the allowance to total loans outstanding was 1.35 percent at March 31, 2008 and 1.11 percent at December 31, 2007.
In the following table, the allowance for loan losses at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 has been allocated among major loan categories based on a number of factors including quality, volume, current economic outlook and other business considerations.

This analysis of the allowance for loan losses should not be interpreted as an indication that chargeoffs will occur in these amounts or proportions, or that the allocation indicates future chargeoff trends. Furthermore, the portion allocated to each category is not the total amount available for future losses that might occur within each category.

Non-performing loans were $507,000 at March 31, 2008 as compared to $815,000 at December 31, 2007. Non-performing loans to total loans ratio stood at 0.13 percent at March 31, 2008 as compared to 0.22 percent at December 31, 2007.
A portion of the allowance for loan losses is allocated to impaired loans. Information with respect to impaired loans and the related allowance for loan losses is as follows (in thousands):
| | | | | | |

| | | | | | |
Amount of the allowance for loan losses allocated | | $ | 1,199 | | $ | 630 |
| | | | | | |
Impaired loans were $3,816,000 at March 31, 2008 as compared to $1,677,000 at December 31, 2007. The increase in impaired loans was a result of one construction loan relationship totaling $2,627,000 in outstanding balances that was added to the impaired loans at the end of the first quarter of 2008. The loan relationship was classified as impaired by management as new information regarding the borrower and the loan relationship surfaced at the end of March 2008. The allowance allocated on this loan relationship is approximately $1,000,000 and is based upon appraisals obtained in May 2008.
- 19 -
Also included in the impaired loans as of March 31, 2008 is a loan relationship totaling $869,000 in outstanding balances. Although, a collateral liquidation analysis on the underlying collateral shows a collateral shortfall of approximately $400,000, the Company, based on its analysis of the discounted cash flows, believes the operations under the anticipated restructured loan terms will meet the original value of the loans. Thus no specific allocation has been provided on this credit. The Company will continue to monitor the performance of the loan relationship, including the borrower’s cash flow position. Although the loan relationship is designated as impaired, the loans are not on nonaccrual status or past due over 90 days and thus are not considered non-performing loans as of March 31, 2008.
Investments
At March 31, 2008, investments totaled $15,070,000, an increase of $624,000 or 4 percent from $14,446,000 at December 31, 2007. The increase in investments was primarily due to purchases of Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) stock partially offset by maturities and principal payments on securities available-for-sale.
For more information regarding securities see Note 3, “Securities” to the unaudited consolidated financial statements.
Deposits
At March 31, 2008, total deposits were $324,289,000, compared to $309,471,000 at December 31, 2007. This represents a 5 percent increase from December 31, 2007. Noninterest-bearing deposits totaled $52,227,000 at March 31, 2008 compared to $59,458,000 at December 31, 2007, a decrease of 12 percent. Noninterest-bearing deposits fell primarily due to a decision made by PEMCO Financial Services Group (“PFS”) to move a large portion of their deposit relationship away from the Company in 2008. Interest-bearing deposits totaled $272,062,000 at March 31, 2008, compared to $250,013,000 at December 31, 2007, an increase of $22,049,000, or 9 percent. Approximately $11,121,000 or 50 percent of the net growth in interest-bearing deposits in the first quarter of 2008 was through the use of non-retail deposit sources, including brokered and bulletin board certificates of deposit.
Borrowings and Junior Subordinated Debt
At March 31, 2008, the Bank’s Federal Home Loan Bank advances were $62,410,000 compared to $69,910,000 at December 31, 2007, representing an 11 percent decrease. This decrease is due to net repayment of advances during the quarter.
At March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the Company had junior subordinated debt totaling $12,372,000. For further discussion of trust preferred securities, see Note 6, “Junior Subordinated Debt” to the unaudited consolidated financial statements.
For discussion of Federal Home Loan Bank advances and junior subordinated debt, see Note 8, “Borrowings and Junior Subordinated Debt” to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as of December 31, 2007.
Stockholders’ Equity and Capital Resources
Stockholders’ equity totaled $28,860,000 at March 31, 2008 an increase of $3,424,000 or 13 percent from December 31, 2007. Current earnings were $3,407,000 and dividends paid were $169,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The change in unrealized losses on securities available-for-sale, net of deferred taxes, increased total stockholders’ equity by $77,000. Equity increased by $109,000 in common stock and surplus due to the recognition of stock option compensation costs relating to SFAS 123R expense and costs relating to stock option exercises for the first quarter of 2008.
Book value per share was $12.04 at March 31, 2008 and $10.65 at December 31, 2007. Book value per share is calculated by dividing total equity by total shares outstanding.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments
In the normal course of business, to meet the financing needs of its customers, the Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, lines of credit and standby letters of credit. Such off-balance sheet items are recognized in the financial statements when they are funded or related fees are received. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. The off-balance sheet items do not represent unusual elements of credit risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the balance sheets.
At March 31, 2008, the Company had commitments to extend credit and contingent liabilities under lines of credit, standby letters of credit and similar arrangements totaling $93,059,000. Since many lines of credit do not fully disburse, or expire without being drawn upon, the total amount does not necessarily reflect future cash requirements.
The Company, as a Visa member bank, is obligated to indemnify Visa for certain litigation losses. In the fourth quarter of 2007, the Company recognized indemnification charges of $2,122,000 related to this obligation. A receivable was recorded to offset the litigation reserve in March 2008 when, upon completion of its IPO, Visa, Inc. established an escrow account that will be used to settle certain litigation judgments and settlements. The Company expects that the remaining shares it owns of Visa Inc., which are currently restricted, will be sufficient to cover any future possible litigation against Visa, Inc.
For additional information regarding off-balance sheet items, refer to Note 16 “Commitments and Contingencies” to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as of December 31, 2007.

Liquidity
Liquidity is defined as the ability to provide sufficient cash to fund operations and meet obligations and commitments on a timely basis. Through asset and liability management, the Company controls its liquidity position to ensure that sufficient funds are available to meet the needs of depositors, borrowers, and creditors.
In addition to cash and cash equivalents, asset liquidity is provided by the available-for-sale securities portfolio. Approximately 18 percent of the investment balances within this portfolio mature within one year. Liquidity is further enhanced by deposit growth, federal funds purchased, borrowings, and planned cash flows, maturities and sales of investments and loans.
The consolidated statement of cash flows contained in this report provides information on the sources and uses of cash for the respective year-to-date periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2007. See the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 for additional information.
ITEM 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK |
There were no material changes in information about market risk from that provided in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007. The analysis of the potential impact of rate on net interest income is indicated in the table below.
Net interest income analysis as of March 31, 2008:
In thousands; rate changes in basis points (bp) = 1/100 of 1%.
| | | | | | | |
IMMEDIATE RATE CHANGE | | ANNUALIZED DOLLAR CHANGE IN NET INTEREST INCOME | | | PERCENT CHANGE | |
+200bp | | $ | 360 | | | 2.40 | % |
+100bp | | | 177 | | | 1.18 | |
+ 50bp | | | 117 | | | 0.78 | |
- 50bp | | | (91 | ) | | (0.61 | ) |
-100bp | | | (193 | ) | | (1.29 | ) |
-200bp | | | (737 | ) | | (4.92 | ) |
The table above indicates, for example, that the estimated effect of an immediate 100 basis point increase in interest rates would increase the Company’s net interest income by an estimated 1.18 percent or approximately $177,000. An immediate 100 basis point decrease in rates indicates a potential reduction of net interest income by 1.29 percent or approximately $193,000.
While net interest income or “rate shock” analysis is a useful tool to assess interest rate risk, the methodology has inherent limitations. For example, certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or periods to repricing, but may react in different degrees to changes in market interest rates. Prepayment and early withdrawal levels could
- 22 -
vary significantly from assumptions made in calculating the tables. In addition, the ability of borrowers to service their debt may decrease in the event of significant interest rate increases. Finally, actual results may vary as management may not adjust rates equally as general levels of interest rates rise or fall.
The Company does not use interest rate risk management products, such as interest rate swaps, hedges, or derivatives.
ITEM 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
An evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of March 31, 2008. Based upon, and as of the date of that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective, in all material respects, in timely alerting them to material information relating to the Company (and its consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in the periodic reports the Company is required to file and submit to the SEC under the Exchange Act.
There were no significant changes to the Company’s internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these internal controls subsequent to the date the Company carried out its evaluation of its internal controls. There were no significant deficiencies or material weaknesses identified in the evaluation and, therefore, no corrective actions were taken.
PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
Bancorp and the Bank from time to time may be parties to various legal actions arising in the normal course of business. Management believes that there is no proceeding threatened or pending against Bancorp or the Bank which, if determined adversely, would have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition or results of operations of the Company.
Our business exposes us to certain risks. The following is a discussion of the most significant risks and uncertainties that may affect our business, financial condition, and future results.
| • | | Fluctuating interest rates can adversely affect our profitability |
Our profitability is dependent to a large extent upon net interest income, which is the difference (or “spread”) between the interest earned on loans, securities and other interest-earning assets, and interest paid on deposits, borrowings, and other interest-bearing liabilities. Because of the differences in maturities and repricing characteristics of our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, changes in interest rates do not produce equivalent changes in interest income earned on interest-earning assets and interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities. Accordingly, fluctuations in interest rates could adversely affect our interest rate spread, and, in turn, our profitability. We cannot make assurances that we can minimize our interest rate risk. In addition, interest rates also affect the amount of money we can lend. When interest rates rise, the cost of borrowing also increases. Accordingly, changes in levels of market interest rates could materially and adversely affect our net interest spread, asset quality, loan origination volume, business and prospects. We assess rate risk by various means including analysis of financial data and by modeling the impact of rate changes on financial performance. Current information suggests that the Company is slightly “asset-sensitive,” suggesting that rising interest rates may tend to increase net interest income and improve profits, and that falling interest rates would have the opposite effect.
- 23 -
| • | | Our allowance for loan losses may not be adequate to cover actual loan losses, which could adversely affect our earnings |
We maintain an allowance for loan losses in an amount that we believe is adequate to provide for probable incurred losses in the portfolio. While we strive to carefully monitor credit quality and to identify loans that may become nonperforming, at any time there are loans included in the portfolio that will result in losses, but that have not been identified as nonperforming or potential problem loans. We cannot be sure that we will be able to identify deteriorating loans before they become nonperforming assets, or that we will be able to limit losses on those loans that are identified. As a result, future additions to the allowance may be necessary. Additionally, future additions to the allowance may be required based on changes in the loans comprising the portfolio and changes in the financial condition of borrowers, such as may result from changes in economic conditions or as a result of incorrect assumptions by management in determining the allowance. Furthermore, federal banking regulators, as an integral part of their supervisory function, periodically review our allowance for loan losses. These regulatory agencies may require us to recognize further loan charge-offs based upon their judgments, which may be different from ours. Any increase in the allowance for loan losses could have a negative effect on our financial condition and results of operation.
| • | | Our loan portfolio contains a high percentage of commercial and commercial real estate loans in relation to our total loans and total assets |
Commercial and commercial real estate loans generally are viewed as having more risk of default than residential real estate loans or certain other types of loans or investments. These types of loans also typically are larger than residential real estate loans. Because the loan portfolio contains a significant number of commercial and commercial real estate loans with relatively large balances, the deterioration of one or a few of these loans may cause a significant increase in nonperforming loans. An increase in nonperforming loans could result in: a loss of earnings from these loans; an increase in the provision for loan losses; or an increase in loan charge-offs, which could have an adverse impact on our results of operations and financial condition.
| • | | An economic downturn in the market area we serve may cause us to have lower earnings and could increase our credit risk associated with our loan portfolio |
The inability of borrowers to repay loans can erode our earnings. Substantially all of our loans are to businesses and individuals in the Seattle, Bellevue, Lynnwood, Federal Way, and Kent communities, and any decline in the economy of this market area could impact us adversely. As a lender, we are exposed to the risk that our customers will be unable to repay their loans in accordance with their terms, and that any collateral securing the payment of their loans may not be sufficient to assure repayment.
| • | | A tightening of the credit market may make it difficult to obtain available money to fund loan growth, which could adversely affect our earnings |
A tightening of the credit market and the inability to obtain adequate money to fund continued loan growth may negatively affect our asset growth and, therefore, our earnings capability. In addition to core deposit growth, maturity of investment securities and loan payments, the Bank also relies on alternative funding sources through correspondent banking and a borrowing line with the FHLB to fund loans. In the event of a downturn in the economy, particularly in the housing market, these resources could be negatively affected, which would limit the funds available to the Bank.
| • | | Competition in our market area may limit our future success |
Commercial banking is a highly competitive business. We compete with other commercial banks, savings and loan associations, credit unions, and finance companies operating in our market area. We are subject to substantial competition for loans and deposits from other financial institutions. Some of our competitors are not subject to the same degree of regulation and restriction as we are. Some of our competitors have greater financial resources than we do. We compete for funds with other financial institutions that, in most cases, are significantly larger and able to provide a greater variety of services than we do and thus may obtain deposits at lower rates of interest. If we are unable to effectively compete in our market area, our business and results of operations could be adversely affected.
- 24 -
| • | | There is not significant trading activity of our shares, which could result in price volatility |
Our shares are traded on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol “EVGG.” There is not what would be characterized as an active trading market for the shares, and trading volume is not substantial. Accordingly, the trading price of our shares may be more susceptible to fluctuation, for example in the event of a transaction involving a significant block of shares, than a stock that was more actively traded. There can be no assurance that an active and liquid market for our common stock will develop. Accordingly, shareholders may find it difficult to sell a significant number of shares at the prevailing market price.
| • | | We would be adversely affected if we lost the services of key personnel |
We depend upon the services of Gerald Hatler, our President and CEO, and the experienced management he has assembled. The loss of Mr. Hatler in particular, if not replaced shortly with an equally competent person, could disrupt our operations and have an adverse effect on us. If Mr. Hatler were to die, EvergreenBank has a bank owned life insurance policy that would provide approximately $823,000. The proceeds from this death benefit could be used to mitigate costs that we may incur in locating and hiring a replacement.
Our business success is also dependent upon our ability to continue to attract, hire, motivate and retain skilled personnel to develop our customer relationships, as well as new financial products and services. Many experienced banking professionals employed by our competitors are covered by agreements not to compete or solicit their existing customers if they were to leave their current employment. These agreements make the recruitment of these professionals more difficult. The market for these people is competitive, and we cannot be assured that we will be successful in attracting, hiring, motivating or retaining them.
| • | | There are restrictions on changes in control of the Company that could decrease our shareholders’ chance to realize a premium on their shares |
As a Washington corporation, we are subject to various provisions of the Washington Business Corporation Act that impose restrictions on certain takeover offers and business combinations, such as combinations with interested shareholders and share repurchases from certain shareholders. Provisions in our Articles of Incorporation requiring a staggered Board and/or containing fairness provisions could have the effect of hindering, delaying or preventing a takeover bid.
