 share, compared to $3.2 million, or $0.26 per diluted share in the second quarter of last year. For the first six months of the year, net income was $6.5 million, or $0.53 per diluted share, compared to $6.3 million, or $0.51 per diluted share in the first half of 2005. All per share data has been adjusted to reflect the 5-for-4 stock split issued in May of 2006.

Cascade's core banking business generated a 17% year-over-year increase in quarterly net income, reflecting continued strong loan growth as well as record checking and service fee generation. For comparative purposes, in the second quarter of 2006, profit growth was reduced by $76,000 in stock option expense and $80,000 in core processor conversion costs.

Operating Results

In the second quarter of 2006, net interest income before the provision for loan losses was $9.7 million, compared to $9.2 million a year earlier, with a larger asset base and improved yields in the loan portfolio partially offset by rising deposit costs. Other income was $1.6 million in the quarter, compared to $1.7 million a year ago. Other operating expense Operating Expense

"Driven by continued growth in our High Performance Checking accounts, checking and service fees grew 25% to $1.2 million, from $974,000 in the second quarter of 2005," Nelson said. "Despite that improvement noninterest income declined slightly, reflecting a more normalized level of residential loan sales.

Revenues increased 4% over a year ago for both the second quarter and first half of 2006. Revenues (net interest income before the provision for loan losses plus other income) totaled $11.3 million in the second quarter of 2006, and $22.1 million in the six-month period.

In the six-month period ended June 30, 2006, net interest income was $19.2 million, up 7% from $17.9 million a year earlier. Total other income was $2.9 million, compared to $3.3 million in the first half of 2005, with a 14% increase in service and checking fees partially offsetting the decrease in gain on sale of loans.

"The composition of our loan portfolio has evolved to reflect our focus on business and real estate lending," Nelson said. "Cascade's strength and value proposition continues to be delivering competitive products to these customers with highly personalized service."

Multifamily loans dropped 44% to $40 million, reflecting a shift in strategy and loan sales totaling $35 million in the last year. Retail loans, which include residential, home equity and other consumer loans, decreased by 4% to $131 million.

"As a result of HPC, we have opened 1,589 net new personal checking accounts since the first of the year, nearly double what we opened in the first half of 2005. Core deposit balances associated with the HPC program have grown as well, to $29 million at the end of June 2006, compared to $17 million at year-end 2005."

Asset Quality

"Our credit quality remains very strong," Nelson said. "Nonperforming loans are down from the already low levels posted three months ago and this time last year, and net charge-offs remain minimal." At quarter-end, nonperforming loans (NPLs) were $392,000, down from $660,000 at the end of the preceding quarter and $1.3 million at June 30, 2005. NPLs represented 0.04% of total loans, versus 0.07% at the end of March 2006, and 0.16% of loans at the end of the second quarter last year. Cascade had no Real Estate Owned Real Estate Owned

The provision for loan losses was $300,000 in the second quarter and totaled $550,000 in the first half of 2006, up by $50,000 from the second quarter and $55,000 from the six-month period last year, reflecting the continued growth in the loan portfolio. At June 30, the allowance for loan losses had grown to $10.7 million, representing 1.12% of total loans and more than 27 times the level of NPLs.

Net Interest Margin & Interest Rate Risk

"Similar to other community banks in our market, our net interest margin has remained under pressure, with fierce competition for both deposits and loans eroding spreads," Nelson said. "The continued rise in short term interest rates has also had a negative impact, as the increase in deposit rates has exceeded the increase in loan yields. While our yield on assets has improved since the second quarter last year, our liability costs increased to a greater extent." The net interest margin was 3.24% in the second quarter of 2006, versus 3.31% in the preceding quarter and 3.38% a year ago.
