"Acquiring Issaquah Bank, a high-performing community bank located in a premium, high-growth area, is consistent with our ongoing strategy of expanding our commercial banking franchise," stated Carol K. Nelson, President and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. .

, which resulted in a higher margin." Net interest margin was 3.46% in the quarter, compared to 3.32% in the second quarter of 2003.

Balance Sheet Management

Total assets increased 23% to $1.1 billion at June 30, 2004, compared to $857 million a year ago, primarily due to the acquisition of Issaquah Bank, which had $134 million in assets. Total loans increased 28% to $727 million, from $569 million at the end of the second quarter last year. Commercial loans, which include commercial real estate, business, and real estate construction loans grew 48% to $493 million, compared to $334 million a year ago. Commercial loans now account for 68% of total loans, up from 59% of the portfolio a year ago. Multifamily loans Multifamily loans

Deposits have grown by 27% from a year ago to $695 million, compared to $546 million at the end of the second quarter last year, including $106 million from Issaquah Bank. Time deposits such as CDs increased in dollar terms, but decreased by 5% to 62% of total deposits, while transaction accounts grew to 38% of deposits, compared to 34% a year ago. Net interest margin was 3.46% in the second quarter of 2004, compared to 3.32% a year ago, and 3.43% in the first half, from 3.35% in the first six months of 2003.

Credit Quality

"The credit quality of the bank's portfolio remains exemplary," Nelson said. "As we have transformed Cascade into a commercial bank we have maintained our strict underwriting Underwriting

 standards, and credit quality improved in the second quarter from an already solid level." At June 30, 2004, nonperforming loans were just 0.10% of total loans, compared to 0.25% a year ago and 0.25% of loans at the end of the first quarter. Cascade's allowance for loan losses increased to $9.5 million, or 1.30% of total loans, which far exceeds nonperformers.

Operating Results

Operating results include one month of income and expense from the Issaquah Bank Division. Net interest income grew 17% to $7.8 million in the second quarter of 2004, compared to $6.7 million a year ago, reflecting a rise in interest income and a decline in interest expense. Despite a 58% increase in checking and service fees, other income was $1.2 million in the quarter, compared to $1.5 million last year, in the second quarter of 2003, which had unusually high gains on sales of loans and securities. Other expense, excluding the merger-related expenses, increased 6% to $4.7 million, from $4.4 million in the second quarter of 2003. Additional operating expenses Operating expenses

"The integration of Issaquah Bank has gone extremely well," Nelson said. "Our expectations have been exceeded and it is clear that we purchased a premium bank at a reasonable price. Costs associated with the acquisition were less than previously anticipated, and we are already seeing an increase in revenues." In the second quarter of 2004, revenues grew 11% to $9.0 million, from $8.2 million last year. Net interest income before the provision for loan losses plus other income increased 6% to $17.5 million in the first half of 2004, compared to $16.5 million in the six-month period a year ago.

Net interest income increased 13% to $15.1 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2004, from $13.4 million the previous year. Other income was $2.3 million, compared to $3.1 million in the first six months of 2003. Other expense, excluding the merger-related expenses, grew 2% to $9.1 million, compared to $9.0 million in the first half of last year.

"Acquisition-related expenses were $633,000 in the second quarter, and I do not anticipate additional significant nonoperating expenses associated with the Issaquah transaction going forward," Nelson said. "While second quarter performance ratios were impacted by those expenses, as well as our issuance of new shares and rapid balance sheet growth, I believe we have significantly increased our franchise value and built a solid platform for continued growth."
