SELECTED NOTES TO UNAUDITED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2007
Note 1 - Organization and Basis of Presentation
Organization. On October 20, 2003, Rainier Pacific Savings Bank (the "Bank") converted from a Washington State chartered mutual savings bank to a Washington State chartered stock savings bank. In connection with the Bank's conversion, Rainier Pacific Financial Group, Inc. (the "Company") was formed to be the bank holding company for the Bank. The Company purchased 100% of the Bank's common stock simultaneously with the Bank's conversion to stock form and the Company's offering and sale of its common stock to the public.
The Bank provides a full range of banking services to consumers and small to medium-sized businesses and professionals through 14 banking offices located in the Tacoma-Pierce County market and the City of Federal Way. The Bank also provides insurance and investment services through operating units of the Bank doing business as Rainier Pacific Insurance Services and Rainier Pacific Financial Services.
Basis of Presentation. The consolidated financial statements presented in this quarterly report include the accounts of the Company and the Bank. The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and predominant practices followed by the financial services industry, and do not include all of the information and footnotes required for complete financial statements. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our December 31, 2006 audited consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 which were filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on March 14, 2007 (the "Company's 2006 Form 10-K"). All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. In the opinion of the Company's management, all adjustments, including normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial condition and results of operations for the interim periods included herein have been made. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2007.
Reclassifications. Certain amounts in the prior periods have been reclassified to conform with the June 30, 2007 presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on net income, equity, or earnings per share.
Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements. Changes in these estimates and assumptions are considered reasonably possible and may have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements and thus actual results could differ from the amounts reported and disclosed herein.
Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant changes relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, the valuation of the deferred tax asset and liability accounts, and the valuation of real estate or other collateral acquired in connection with foreclosures or in satisfaction of loans. In connection with the determination of the allowance for loan losses and the valuation of foreclosed or repossessed assets held-for-sale, management obtains independent appraisals for significant properties. Since December 31, 2006 through June 30, 2007, there have been no material changes in the Company's significant accounting policies or critical accounting estimates from those disclosed in the Company's 2006 Form 10-K.
Note 3 - Income Taxes
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Interpretation No. 48,Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes("FIN 48").FIN 48 requires recognition and measurement of uncertain tax positions using a "more-likely-than-not" approach. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2006. Our approach to adopting FIN 48 on January 1, 2007 consisted of an examination of our financial statements, our income tax provision, and our federal income tax returns. We analyzed our tax positions including the permanent and temporary differences as well as the major components of income and expense.
Our permanent differences consist primarily of ESOP, MRP, and SOP adjustments, tax exempt investment income, meals and entertainment, and non-deductible dues. These items are common within the banking industry and have not been subject to controversy. We have supporting documentation for these differences and account for an allocable interest expense under Internal Revenue Code Sections 265 and 291 related to our tax exempt income.
7
<PAGE>
Our temporary differences consist primarily of loan loss adjustments, stock dividends from the FHLB, differences in depreciation, certain adjustments for the ESOP, MRP and SOP, and other timing differences that are common in the banking industry. We have utilized cost segregation for a small percentage of our fixed assets, and this cost segregation study was performed by a third-party.
As disclosed in the Company's 2006 Form 10-K, we recorded a $300,000 valuation allowance in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes, in December 2006. Management believes it is more likely than not that the Company will be unable to realize the full deduction for the charitable contributions made in 2003 and 2004 because of potentially insufficient future taxable income. Management does not believe this is an issue regarding the deductibility of the charitable contribution (in accordance with FIN 48), but rather whether the entire deduction will be recognized.
We do not believe that we have any uncertain tax positions as of June 30, 2007 that would rise to the level of having a material effect on our financial statements. We have concluded, as of June 30, 2007, that no additional adjustments or valuation allowances are necessary, and there will be no material effect on the financial statements as a result of FIN 48.
Note 4 - Stock-Based Compensation
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.On January 1, 2006 (the effective date), the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123(R), using the "modified prospective" method in which compensation cost is recognized for all share-based payments granted prior to the effective date of SFAS 123(R) that remained unvested on the effective date and for all awards granted to employees after the effective date. See the Company's 2006 Form 10-K for additional information regarding stock-based compensation.
On June 7, 2004, the Company granted 351,750 non-qualified stock options and 328,250 incentive stock options to certain directors and employees. The fair market value of the Company's common stock on the date of grant was $16.26 per share. On August 17, 2005, the Company granted an additional 40,000 incentive stock options to certain employees. The fair market value of the Company's common stock on the August 17, 2005 grant date was $16.72 per share. There were no grants in 2006. On June 1, 2007, the Company granted an additional 72,000 incentive stock options to certain employees. The fair market value of the Company's common stock on the June 1, 2007 grant date was $20.40 per share. Each of these grants vest over a five-year period.
The following represents the stock option activity and option exercise price information for the six months ended June 30, 2007:

Stock-based compensation expense for the SOP recognized by the Company in the Consolidated Statements of Income was $180,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $296,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The remaining unrecognized compensation expense for the fair value of outstanding stock options was approximately $590,000 and $518,000 at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. On June 24, 2004, the Company granted restricted stock awards of 336,800 shares of its common stock to its directors and certain employees under the MRP. The fair market value of the restricted stock awards was $16.20 per share on June 24, 2004, and totaled $5.5 million. These restricted stock awards vest over a five-year period and, therefore, the cost of such is accrued ratably over a five-year period as compensation expense. On June 1, 2007, the Company granted restricted stock awards of 10,000 shares of its common stock to certain employees. The fair market value of the restricted stock awards was $20.40 per share on June 1, 2007 and totaled $204,000. These restricted stock awards also vest over five years as compensation expense. Compensation expense related to all MRP awards was $513,000 and $522,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. A total of 62,060 MRP shares vested and were transferred to participants on June 22, 2007, with a fair market value of $1.1 million. The remaining unrecognized compensation expense for MRP restricted stock was approximately $2.2 million and $2.6 million at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.
Note 5 - Earnings Per Share
Earnings per share ("EPS") is computed using the basic and diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods presented. Unallocated shares related to the ESOP are deducted in the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income by diluted weighted average shares outstanding, which includes common stock equivalent shares outstanding using the treasury stock method, unless such shares are not dilutive. Common stock equivalents include the stock options and restricted stock awards under the SOP and the MRP, respectively, approved by the Company's shareholders in April 2004.

Note 7 - Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155,Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments ("SFAS 155") - an amendment to SFAS No. 133,Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities ("SFAS 133"), and SFAS No. 140,Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities ("SFAS 140"). SFAS 155 provides the framework for fair value remeasurement of any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation as well as establishes a requirement to evaluate interests in securitized financial assets. SFAS 155 further amends SFAS 140 to eliminate the prohibition on a qualifying special-purpose entity from holding a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument. The SFAS 155 guidance also clarifies which interest-only strips and principal-only strips are not subject to the requirement of SFAS 133 and which concentrations of credit risk in the form of subordination are not embedded derivatives. SFAS 155 became effective for fiscal years that began after September 15, 2006. The Company adopted SFAS 155 on January 1, 2007, which did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156,Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets ("SFAS 156") - an amendment of SFAS 140. SFAS 156 requires the recognition of a servicing asset or servicing liability under certain circumstances when an obligation to service a financial asset is created by entering into a servicing contract. SFAS 156 also requires all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities to be initially measured at fair value utilizing the amortization method or fair market value method. SFAS 156 became effective for fiscal years that began after September 15, 2006. The Company adopted SFAS 156 on January 1, 2007, which did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157,Fair Value Measurements ("SFAS 157"). This standard clarifies the principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability. Additionally, it establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop those assumptions. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and is not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159,The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities- including an amendment of FASB Statement 115("SFAS 159"). SFAS 159 permits entities to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Most of the provisions of this statement apply only to entities that elect the fair value option. However, the amendment to FASB Statement No. 115,Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities,applies to
10

all entities with available-for-sale and trading securities. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and is not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
ITEM 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Forward-Looking Statements
This Form 10-Q contains certain "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words such as "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "should," "planned," "estimated," and "potential." These forward-looking statements relate to, among other things, expectations of the business environment in which the Company operates, projections of future performance, perceived opportunities in the market, potential future credit experience, and statements regarding the Company's strategies. These forward-looking statements are based upon current management expectations and may, therefore, involve risks and uncertainties. The Company's actual results, performance, or achievements may differ materially from those suggested, expressed, or implied by forward-looking statements as a result of a wide variety or range of factors including, but not limited to: interest rate fluctuations; economic conditions in the Company's primary market area; deposit flows; demand for residential, commercial real estate, consumer, and other types of loans; levels of non-performing assets and other loans of concern; real estate values; success of new products; competitive conditions between banks and non-bank financial service providers; regulatory and accounting changes; success of new technology; technological factors affecting operations; costs of technology; pricing of products and services; time to lease excess space in Company-owned buildings; and other risks detailed from time to time in our filings with the Securities Exchange Commission. Accordingly, these factors should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements, and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. The Company undertakes no responsibility to update or revise any forward-looking statements. These risks could cause our actual results for 2007 and beyond to differ materially from those expressed in any financial statements made by or on behalf of the Company.

(1) Includes mortgage-backed securities Total assets increased by $2.1 million, or 0.2%, to $904.8 million at June 30, 2007 from $902.7 million at December 31, 2006. This increase reflects an $8.1 million increase in net loans and a $568,000 increase in interest-bearing deposits, partially offset by a $7.1 million decrease in investment securities. The increase in loans is the result of continued growth of commercial real estate and commercial business loan portfolios. The decrease in investment securities is primarily the result of principal repayments on mortgage-backed securities. Mortgage-backed securities decreased $6.5 million, or 10.2%, to $56.5 million at June 30, 2007 from $63.0 million at December 31, 2006. Deposits increased $2.9 million to $460.3 million at June 30, 2007 from $457.4 million at December 31, 2006, resulting primarily from increases in core customer deposits, predominantly composed of money market and checking account relationships. Shareholders' equity increased $2.1 million to $89.9 million at June 30, 2007 from $87.8 million at December 31, 2006, primarily as a result of the net income earned during the six months ended June 30, 2007.

Our net loan portfolio increased $8.1 million, or 1.3%, to $639.2 million at June 30, 2007 from $631.1 million at December 31, 2006. This increase was primarily attributable to increases in commercial real estate loans, which increased $19.6 million, or 10.0%, commercial business loans, which increased $4.1 million, or 31.1%, and home equity loans, which increased $1.9 million, or 4.4%. Partially offsetting these increases were decreases in the automobile loan portfolio of $5.3 million, five or more residential ("multi-family") real estate loans, which decreased $3.9 million, or 2.4%, primarily as a result of $8.9 million in prepayments; and real estate construction loans, which decreased $3.7 million, or 4.6%. Additionally, one- to four-family residential loan sales of $12.4 million resulted in the single family loan portfolio declining $2.5 million, or 3.1%. We sell one- to four-family loans to help manage interest rate risk. Total loans secured by real estate increased $11.3 million, or 2.0%, to $574.2 million at June 30, 2007 from $562.9 million at December 31, 2006. During the second half of 2007, we will continue to focus on originating commercial real estate, multi-family, and commercial loans while reducing our emphasis on auto lending.12

Our investment securities portfolio decreased by $7.1 million, or 3.6%, to $190.7 million at June 30, 2007 from $197.8 million at December 31, 2006. The decrease in investments is primarily the result of $6.5 million of principal repayments on mortgage-backed securities, $1.0 million of partial calls of trust preferred securities, and amortization of purchase premiums. These decreases were partially offset by a $502,000 gain in the market value of available-for-sale securities. No new investment securities were purchased during the quarter as we continued to execute our strategy of replacing maturing investment securities with loans or reducing borrowed funds. Deposits.

The decrease during the first six months of 2007 was due primarily to a change in short-term funding needs.
Capital. Total shareholders' equity increased $2.1 million, or 2.4%, to $89.9 million at June 30, 2007 from $87.8 million at December 31, 2006. The increase in equity from December 31, 2006 to June 30, 2007 was the result of three items totaling $3.5 million, as follows: $1.9 million in net income, $1.3 million in equity adjustments related to stock compensation and benefits, and $326,000 in unrealized gains on securities, net of taxes. This increase in equity was partially offset by $854,000 of cash dividends paid to shareholders and $550,000 of common stock repurchases. As a result of these factors, and the $2.1 million increase in assets, our capital-to-assets ratio increased to 9.94% at June 30, 2007 compared to 9.73% at December 31, 2006.

Our net interest income increased $323,000, or 5.3%, to $6.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 from $6.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006. The net interest income increase was the result of a $4.6 million increase in the average balance of earning assets and a 49 basis point yield increase on interest-earning assets.
Interest Income. Our interest income increased $1.1 million, or 8.5%, to $14.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 from $13.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006. Interest earned on loans for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 was $11.6 million and $10.4 million, respectively. The average yield on total loans was 7.27% for the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to 6.92% for the same period in 2006 reflecting higher market rates for loans. The average balance of total loans also increased by $39.3 million to $641.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 from $602.4 million for the same period in 2006. A significant portion of the loan portfolio consists of fixed-rate real estate secured loans which do not re-price when interest rates change. Construction loans, home equity lines of credit, credit card loans, and commercial/business loans, however, generally

re-price when short-term interest rates change. The increase in yield on these loan products, combined with an increase in the average balance of loans, were the primary contributors to the increased interest income on loans.
Interest income on investment securities (including mortgage-backed securities) decreased $150,000, or 5.5%, to $2.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 from $2.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006 as a result of a lower average balance, partially offset by a higher yield earned. The average balances of investment securities for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 were $193.0 million and $228.5 million, respectively. The average yield on investment securities increased to 5.34% for the three months ended June 30, 2007 from 4.77% for the three months ended June 30, 2006, primarily as a result of $87.4 million of floating rate trust preferred securities repricing upward in connection with increased short-term interest rates and principal repayments of lower coupon mortgage-backed securities.
Interest Expense. Our interest expense increased $796,000, or 11.2%, to $7.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 from $7.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006. In addition to an increase in the average balances of our deposits and borrowed funds, rising market rates increased our deposit and borrowing costs.
Interest expense on deposits increased $776,000, or 23.7%, to $4.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 from $3.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006. The average cost of interest-bearing deposits increased 57 basis points to 3.83% for the three months ended June 30, 2007 from 3.26% for the three months ended June 30, 2006. This increase in deposit costs for the three months ended June 30, 2007 was primarily a result of average balance increases of $41.9 million in higher rate money market accounts, partially offset by a $20.6 million decrease in the average balance of even higher rate certificates of deposits. In addition, interest expense was higher as a result of enhanced local competition and higher short-term market interest rates required to attract and retain customer deposits.
Interest expense on borrowed funds was relatively unchanged at $3.8 million despite a $22.4 million decrease in the average balance of borrowed funds. The average balance of borrowed funds was $345.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007, compared to $367.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006. The primary reason for the increase is a 29 basis point increase in the cost of borrowed funds to 4.45% for the three months ended June 30, 2007 from 4.16% for the same period in 2006 as a result of higher short-term interest rates.
Provision for Loan Losses. The following table sets forth an analysis of our allowance for loan losses at the dates and for the periods indicated (dollars in thousands):

| | $ Increase | | % Increase |

Allowance at end of period | $ 8,235

| | (2.1)%
|
Our provision for loan losses was unchanged at $150,000 for the three month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006. The provision was recorded at a level considered appropriate to ensure that the allowance for loan losses was adequate to address the inherent credit risk in the loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses decreased slightly to $8.2 million at June 30, 2007 compared to $8.3 million at December 31, 2006. The allowance for loan losses as a percent of total loans at June 30, 2007 was 1.27% compared to 1.30% at December 31, 2006 and 1.38% at June 30, 2006. The decrease in the allowance ratio over the last year was deemed appropriate because of the reduced risk in the portfolio attributable to the growth in real estate secured loans, which have historically experienced a very low level of losses, a decreased balance of auto loans, which have historically experienced higher losses, and improved overall credit quality of the loan portfolio as evidenced by lower net charge-offs. Management believes our allowance for loan losses as of June 30, 2007 was adequate to absorb the known and inherent risks of loss in the loan portfolio at that date. While management believes the estimates and assumptions used in its determination of the adequacy of the allowance are reasonable, there can be no assurance that such estimates and assumptions will not be proven incorrect in the future, or that the actual amount of future provisions will not exceed the amount of past provisions or that any increased provisions that may be required will not adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the determination of the amount of our allowance for loan losses is subject to review by bank regulators, as part of the routine examination process, which may result in the establishment of additional reserves based upon their judgment of information available to them at the time of their examination.

Our non-interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2007 increased $122,000, or 5.5%, to $2.3 million from $2.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006. This increase was primarily a result of a $104,000 increase in property and casualty insurance service fees relating to a higher level of insurance policy sales. All other categories of non-interest income reflected a net increase of $18,000. Non-interest Expense.

Our non-interest expense was essentially unchanged at $7.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and June 30, 2006, respectively.
Office operations expense decreased $352,000, or 26.9%, to $956,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2007 from $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006. The decrease was primarily attributable to a $350,000 reduction in depreciation expense as a significant portion of our software and computer equipment became fully depreciated during the fourth quarter of 2006. Partially offsetting this decrease was an increase in other operating expenses which increased $255,000, or 48.8%, to $778,000 from $523,000 for the same period a year earlier. This increase included an $80,000 increase in VISA check card expenses, a $73,000 increase for FDIC deposit insurance premiums, a $33,000 increase in operational losses, and a $22,000 increase in business and operating tax ("B&O") as a result of increased revenue. The $80,000 VISA check card expense increase was the result of receiving a volume rebate in 2007 in the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to receiving a similar rebate in 2006 in the three months ended March 31, 2006. The increase in operational losses includes such items as check and debit card losses and other operating losses. The remaining other operating expense increases were spread throughout various expense categories. All other non-interest expenses increased by a net amount of $96,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006.

Our net interest income increased $309,000, or 2.5%, to $12.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 from $12.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The net interest income increase was the result of an $8.7 million average balance increase and a 56 basis point yield increase on interest-earning assets. Interest Income. Our interest income increased $2.6 million, or 10.2%, to $28.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 from $25.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. Interest earned on loans for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 was $23.2 million and $20.4 million, respectively. The average yield on total loans was 7.26% for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to 6.86% for the same period in 2006 reflecting an increase in market interest rates for loans. The average balance of total loans also increased by $46.0 million to $642.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 from $596.8 million for the same period in 2006. A significant portion of the loan portfolio consists of fixed-rate real estate secured loans which do not re-price when interest rates change. Construction loans, home equity lines of credit, credit card loans, and our commercial/business loans, however, generally re-price when short-term interest rates change. The increase in yield on these loan products, combined with an increase in the average balance of loans, were the primary contributors to the increased interest income on loans.
Interest income on investment securities (including mortgage-backed securities) decreased $200,000, or 3.7%, to $5.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 from $5.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 as a result of a lower average balance, partially offset by higher yields earned. The average balances of investment securities for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 were $194.8 million and $229.9 million, respectively. The average yield on investment securities increased to 5.34% for the six months ended June 30, 2007 from 4.69% for the six months ended June 30, 2006, primarily as a result of $87.4 million of floating rate trust preferred securities repricing upward in connection with increased short-term interest rates and the principal reduction of lower yielding mortgage-backed securities.

Interest Expense. Our interest expense increased $2.3 million, or 17.3%, to $15.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 from $13.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. In addition to an increase in the average balances of our deposits, rising market rates, and enhanced competition caused our deposit and borrowing costs to increase.
Interest expense on deposits were up $1.9 million, or 30.1%, to $8.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 from $6.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The average cost of deposits increased 76 basis points to 3.86% for the six months ended June 30, 2007 from 3.10% for the six months ended June 30, 2006. This increase in deposit costs for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was primarily a result of average balance increases of $35.1 million in higher rate money market accounts, partially offset by a $16.4 million decrease in the average balance of even higher rate certificates of deposits. In addition, interest expense was higher as a result of enhanced local competition and higher short-term market interest rates required to attract and retain customer deposits.
Interest expense on borrowed funds increased $438,000, or 6.1%, to $7.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 from $7.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006, despite a $15.4 million decrease in the average balance of borrowed funds. The average balance of borrowed funds was $343.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared to $359.2 million for the same period in 2006. The primary reason for the increase was a 44 basis point increase in the cost of borrowed funds to 4.45% for the six months ended June 30, 2007 from 4.01% for the same period in 2006 as a result of higher short-term interest rates.

Our provision for loan losses was unchanged at $300,000 for the six month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006. The provision was recorded at a level considered appropriate to ensure that the allowance for loan losses was adequate to address the inherent credit risk in the loan portfolio.

Our non-interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2007 increased $344,000, or 8.1%, to $4.6 million from $4.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. This increase was primarily a result of a $150,000 increase in net gains on the sale of loans and a $131,000 increase in property and casualty insurance service fees. The increase in gains on the sale of loans was attributable to an increase in the number of single-family mortgages sold, including the recognition of the associated mortgage servicing assets totaling $105,000, during the first six months of 2007. Additionally, loan service fees increased $88,000 as a result of the increase in the size of the loan portfolio and receipt of loan assumption and other related fees. All other categories of non-interest income reflected a net decrease of $25,000.19

Our non-interest expense decreased $173,000, or 1.2%, to $14.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 from $14.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower office operations expense of $664,000 partially offset by a $417,000 increase in other operating expenses.
Office operations expense decreased $664,000, or 25.5%, to $1.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 from $2.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The decrease was primarily attributable to a $690,000 reduction in depreciation expense as a significant portion of our software and computer equipment became fully depreciated during the fourth quarter of 2006. Partially offsetting this decrease was other operating expenses, which increased $417,000 or 38.9% to $1.5 million from $1.1 million for the same period. The $417,000 increase in other operating expenses included a $122,000 increase for FDIC deposit insurance premiums, a $93,000 increase in FDIC regulatory examination expense, and a $73,000 increase in B&O taxes related to increased revenue for the first six months of 2007 compared to the same period in 2006 (which included a $25,000 refund as a result of a prior year B&O tax audit). Additionally, operational losses increased $59,000 and VISA check card expenses increased $33,000 for the same period. The remaining increase in other operating expense was spread throughout various expense categories. All other non-interest expenses increased by a net amount of $74,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006.

Liquidity and Capital Resources Liquidity. We actively analyze and manage our liquidity with the objectives of maintaining an adequate level of liquidity to ensure the availability of sufficient cash flows to support loan growth, fund deposit withdrawals, fund operations, and our continuing operations, and to satisfy other financial commitments. See "Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows" contained in Part I, Item 1 - "Financial Statements" of this quarterly report.
21
<PAGE>
Our primary sources of funds are from customer and brokered deposits, loan repayments, loan sales, maturing investment securities, and borrowed funds. These sources of funds, together with retained earnings and equity, are used to make loans, acquire investment securities and other assets, and fund continuing operations. While maturities and the scheduled amortization of loans are a predictable source of funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by the level of interest rates, economic conditions, and competition. We believe that our current liquidity position and cash flows from our forecasted operating results are sufficient to fund all of our existing commitments.
At June 30, 2007, we were in compliance with the collateral requirements of all of our borrowed funds arrangements. We maintained a credit facility with the FHLB equal to 50% of the Bank's total assets, subject to available collateral. At June 30, 2007, we had an available amount on this line of $36.4 million. The Bank also maintains a $100.0 million credit line collateralized by specific investment securities with Fortis Securities, LLC as an additional source of liquidity. There were no outstanding balances on this credit line at June 30, 2007. In addition, we held certain available-for-sale investment securities and readily saleable loans for liquidity purposes.
Management believes that we have adequate resources to fund all loan commitments through deposits, borrowings from the FHLB or other sources, and the sale of mortgage loans or investments. At June 30, 2007, certificates of deposit (excluding individual retirement account certificates of deposit) amounted to $217.9 million, or 47.3%, of total deposits, including $50.6 million of brokered deposits which are scheduled to mature and be renewed through January 31, 2008. We have used brokered deposits and borrowed funds to supplement retail deposit funding. Management also believes that we can adjust the offering rates of savings, money market, and certificates of deposit to retain, increase, or decrease deposits in changing interest rate environments.
Capital. Consistent with our objective to operate a sound and profitable financial institution, we have maintained and will continue to focus on maintaining a "well capitalized" rating from regulatory authorities. In addition, we are subject to certain capital requirements set by our regulatory agencies. As of June 30, 2007, the Bank was classified as a "well capitalized" institution under the criteria established by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and exceeded all minimum capital requirements. Total equity at the Bank was $87.4 million at June 30, 2007, or 9.68% of total assets on that date. Our regulatory capital ratios at June 30, 2007, were as follows: Tier I leverage of 9.43%; Tier I risk-based capital of 11.41%; and total risk-based capital of 12.53%.
ITEM 3 - Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
One of our primary financial objectives is to generate ongoing profitability. The largest contributor to our profitability is net interest income. Net interest income is the difference between the income we receive on loans and investments and the expenses we incur on deposits and borrowed funds. Net interest income is affected by the amount of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities that Rainier Pacific Savings Bank holds, as well as the associated yields and costs.
The asset liability management policy and the committee guide us in managing Rainier Pacific Savings Bank's market risk. A summary of the asset and liability management committee activities is reported to our board of directors monthly and in more detail to the loan and investment committee of the board on a quarterly basis.
Some of the principal strategies that we employ to manage our interest rate sensitivity include: (1) selling long-term fixed-rate mortgage loans; (2) borrowing intermediate- to long-term funds at fixed rates; (3) originating consumer and income property loans with shorter maturities or at variable rates; (4) purchasing securities with shorter maturities or at variable rates; (5) appropriately modifying loan and deposit pricing to capitalize on the then current market opportunities; (6) increasing core deposits, such as savings, checking and money market accounts, in order to reduce our reliance on the traditionally higher cost, more rate sensitive certificates of deposit; and (7) maintaining adequate capital levels for the level of interest rate risk inherent in the balance sheet. At June 30, 2007, there were no material changes in the Bank's market risk from the information provided in the Company's Form 10-K which was filed with the SEC on March 14, 2007.
At June 30, 2007, the Bank had no derivative financial instruments. In addition, the Bank did not maintain a trading account for any class of financial instruments, nor has it engaged in hedging activities or purchased derivative instruments. Furthermore, the Bank is not subject to foreign currency exchange rate risk or commodity price risk.
ITEM 4 - Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
An evaluation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Act")) was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and other members of the Company's management team as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. The Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as currently in effect are effective, in all material respects, in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed by the
22
<PAGE>
Company in the reports it files or submits under the Act is (i) accumulated and communicated to the Company's management (including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer) in a timely manner, and (ii) recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms.
Changes in Internal Controls
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in 13a-15(f) of the Act) that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2007, that have materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. The Company continued, however, to implement suggestions from its internal auditor and independent auditor on ways to strengthen existing controls. The Company does not expect that its disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control procedure, no matter how well designed and functioning, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control procedure are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control procedures, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns in controls or procedures can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any control procedure is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in cost-effective control procedures, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1 - Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we are involved as plaintiff or defendant in various legal actions arising in the normal course of business. As of June 30, 2007, we were not involved in any significant litigation and do not anticipate incurring any material liability as a result of any such litigation.
ITEM 1A-Risk Factors
There have been no material changes in the risk factors previously disclosed in the Company's 2006 Form 10-K.
ITEM 2 - Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
The Company's common stock is traded on the NASDAQ Global Market under the symbol "RPFG". As of June 30, 2007, there were 6,568,470 shares of common stock issued, including 424,211 shares held by the ESOP that have not been released, committed, or allocated to participant accounts; and 132,482 restricted shares granted under the MRP that have not yet vested. During the quarter ended June 30, 2007, the Company did not sell any securities that were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933.
Stock Purchases
A bank holding company, except for certain "well-capitalized" and highly rated bank holding companies, is required to give the Federal Reserve prior written notice of any purchase or redemption of its outstanding equity securities if the gross consideration for the purchase or redemption, when combined with the net consideration paid for all such purchases or redemptions during the preceding 12 months, is equal to 10.0% or more of its consolidated net worth. The Federal Reserve may disapprove such a purchase or redemption if it determines that the proposal would constitute an unsafe or unsound practice or would violate any law, regulation, Federal Reserve order, or any condition imposed by, or written agreement with, the Federal Reserve.
