INCOME STATEMENT PERFORMANCE

Revenue (net interest income plus non-interest income) for the third quarter was $11.2 million, a 5% increase compared to the second quarter of 2004 and a 3% increase from the third quarter a year ago. Year-to-date revenue increased 4% to $31.6 million from $30.3 million in the first nine months of 2003. Net interest income before provision for loan losses grew 14% to $9.2 million in the third quarter and 11% to $26.1 million year-to-date, compared to $8.0 million in the third quarter and $23.5 million in the first nine months of 2003.

Top line growth reflects the increased revenues from the growing loan portfolio, as well as the contribution from loan sales, which generated $95,207 in gains and $156,182 from the accelerated recognition of deferred loan fees. The provision for loan losses totaled $550,000 in the third quarter and $2.6 million year-to-date, resulting from strong growth in the loan portfolio and a level ratio of reserves to total loans. Net interest margin on a tax equivalent basis was 5.86% for the third quarter and 6.08% for the first nine months of 2004, compared to 5.97% and 6.14% in the respective periods of 2003.

Third quarter non-interest income dropped 29% to $2.0 million from $2.8 million in the third quarter a year ago, reflecting lower mortgage originations and no gain on sale of securities. Year-to-date non-interest income was down 19% to $5.5 million from $6.8 million in the first nine months of 2003.

"Overhead expenses grew moderately during the third quarter. Company-wide cost consciousness reduced the impact of the costs from the two new branches opened in Bend and Redmond, Oregon Redmond is a city in Deschutes County, Oregon, United States.

"Operating efficiencies improved year-to-date, were flat with the second quarter and slightly higher than the year ago quarter, reflecting the growth in our branch network," said Ortega. For the third quarter, the efficiency ratio was 52.96% compared to 51.95% for the third quarter last year. For the first nine months of 2004, the efficiency ratio was 55.51% compared to 56.13% for the first nine months of 2003.

"We have produced solid growth in the loan portfolio with real estate loans up 16%, agriculture loans up 30%, real estate construction loans up 71% and commercial loans up 17% from year ago levels.
