PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
COMPANY
Cascade Bancorp (Bancorp) is an Oregon chartered bank holding
Company formed in 1990 and headquartered in Bend, Oregon. Bancorp's principal
subsidiary is Bank of the Cascades (the Bank). Bancorp also operates Cascade
Bancorp Financial Services, Inc. a consumer finance business, (collectively, the
Company). At December 31, 1999 the Company had total consolidated assets of
approximately $348 million, net loans of $275 million and deposits of $285
million.
BANK OF THE CASCADES
The Bank was chartered as an Oregon State bank in March 1976 and
opened for business in February 1977. Bank of the Cascades is a community bank
offering the full range of financial services to its business and consumer
clients, including trust and investments. The Bank has a network of ten
branches, nine located in Central Oregon, and one in Salem, Oregon. An
additional branch is planned to open in Keizer, Oregon in mid-2000. In Deschutes
County, its largest market concentration, the Company is the market share leader
in customer deposits, holding over 28% share. It also is the market share leader
in construction and commercial real estate lending as well as in residential
mortgage origination and financing. Deschutes County is one of the fastest
growing regions of Oregon. The Bank's headquarters is located in downtown Bend,
Oregon.
The Bank offers a broad range of commercial and personal banking
services to its customers. Lending activities serve small to medium-sized
businesses and consumers. The Bank provides commercial real estate loans, real
estate construction and development loans, commercial and industrial loans as
well as consumer installment, line-of-credit, credit card, and home equity
loans. The Bank originates residential mortgage loans that are typically sold on
the secondary market. The Bank provides consumer and business deposit services
including checking, money market, and time deposit accounts and related payment
services such as cash management, lock box, internet banking and bill payment.
In addition, the Bank operates Cascade Finance, a consumer finance business
which predominately purchases used automobile installment contracts from local
dealerships and also offers direct consumer finance loans.
In mid-1999 the Company began offering Trust and Investment
services, initially in Central Oregon. Trust services focus on the personal
trust needs of existing and prospective clients by providing living and
testamentary trust, asset and financial management, and fiduciary services.
Investment services are provided by a licensed on-site broker through a
broker/dealer agent relationship.
CASCADE BANCORP FINANCIAL SERVICES
Cascade Bancorp Financial Services, Inc. was incorporated in 1999
to manage the existing consumer installment loans which were present in Cascade
Finance. Subsequent to the incorporation of Cascade Bancorp Financial Services,
Inc., the ongoing consumer finance operations of Cascade Finance became a
division of the Bank. Cascade Bancorp Financial Services opened in January 1997
and is headquartered in Bend, Oregon. The subsidiary currently holds and
services approximately $2.2 million in purchased dealer automobile installment
contracts.

BUSINESS STRATEGY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
o PROVIDE SHAREHOLDERS WITH EXCEPTIONAL VALUE BY DELIVERING THE BEST IN
COMMUNITY BANKING AND RELATED FINANCIAL SERVICES
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cascade Bancorp has established the following key performance
goals: 1) Consistently exceed 18% return on equity, 2) Consistently exceed 10%
growth in earnings per share, 3) Identify and prudently manage credit and
business risk and 4) Strive to profitably diversify revenue and continuously
seek efficiency improvements in all its activities. However, with the inherent
uncertainty of the future, there can be no assurance as to the ongoing
achievement of these goals.
Bank of the Cascades has a 23-year commitment to delivering the
best in hometown banking services to the Oregon communities it serves. Its
strategy is to profitably grow its business by attracting and retaining high
value relationship customers. This is accomplished by providing the best in
customer service while offering a broad array of products and financial
services. Because the Company is committed to providing customer convenience and
choice in delivery channels, it applies advances in technology and delivery
systems to the benefit of its customers. Such channels include traditional
branches, ATMs, Internet banking, and telephonic access.
In addition to targeting growth and increased market share in its
existing locations, the Company may also consider future expansion by de novo
branching where it identifies market opportunities (such as the expected new
branch in Keizer, Oregon in mid-2000). The Company may also consider making
selective business acquisitions to expand its market opportunities.
The Company's broad risk management objectives are to develop loan
policies and underwriting practices designed to prudently manage credit risk.
Funding policies are designed to maintain an appropriate volume and mix of core
deposits and time deposit balances to efficiently fund its loan and investment
activities. The Company may complement its local deposit gathering strategies
with wholesale funding from reliable counterparties such as the Federal Home
Loan Bank. The Company monitors its sensitivity to changing interest rates
primarily by utilizing simulation analysis in addition to traditional interest
rate gap calculations.
EMPLOYEES
Bancorp has no employees other than its executive officers, who
are also employees of the Bank. As of December 31, 1999, the Company had 205
full-time equivalent employees. None of the employees of the Company are subject
to a collective bargaining agreement. The Company considers its relationships
with its employees to be good.
COMPETITION
Commercial and consumer banking in Central Oregon, and in the
State of Oregon as a whole, is highly competitive. The Company competes
principally with other commercial banks, savings and loan associations, credit
unions, mortgage companies, and other financial service providers with respect
to the scope and type of services offered, interest rates paid on deposits and
pricing of loans, among other factors. Many of these competitors have greater
resources than the Company and therefore have larger lending capabilities and
may provide other services that the Company does not offer.
The Company competes for customers principally through its
commitment to customer service, the relative attractiveness of its products and
services, as well as by providing convenience in delivering those products and
services. The Company believes its hometown banking philosophy and its focus on
small and medium-sized businesses, professionals and consumers enables it to
compete effectively with other financial service providers. In addition, the
Company's lending officers and senior managers have significant experience in
their respective marketplaces. This enables them to maintain close working
relationships with their customers. To serve customers whose borrowing
requirements exceed its lending limits, the Bank may participate loans to other
financial institutions.

CONSOLIDATED STATISTICAL INFORMATION
The following tables present certain financial and statistical
information with respect to the Company for the periods indicated. Most of the
information is required by Guide 3, "Statistical Disclosure by Bank Holding
Companies", by the Securities and Exchange Commission. At the beginning of each
table, information is presented as to the nature of data disclosed in the table.
For most financial institutions, including the Company, the
primary component of earnings is net interest income. Net interest income is the
difference between interest income earned, principally from loans and investment
securities portfolio, and interest paid, principally on customer deposits and
borrowings. Changes in net interest income result from changes in volume, spread
and margin. Volume refers to the dollar level of interest-earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities. Spread refers to the difference between the yield
on interest-earning assets and the cost of interest-bearing liabilities. Margin
refers to net interest income divided by interest-earning assets and is
influenced by the level and relative mix of interest-earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities.
ANALYSIS OF CHANGES IN INTEREST DIFFERENTIAL
The following table shows the dollar amount of the increase
(decrease) in the Company's consolidated interest income and expense, and
attributes such variance to "volume" or "rate" changes. Variances that were
immaterial have been allocated equally between rate and volume categories.

LOAN PORTFOLIO COMPOSITION
Interest earned on the loan portfolio is the primary source of income
for the Company. Net loans represent 79% of total assets as of December 31,
1999. Although the Company strives to serve the credit needs of its service
area, its primary concentration is in real estate related and commercial
credits. The Company makes substantially all of its loans to customers located
within the Company's service area. The Company has no loans defined as highly
leveraged transactions by the Federal Reserve Bank. The Company has no
significant agricultural loans.
The following table presents the composition of the Company's loan
portfolio, at the dates indicated (dollars in thousands):

LENDING AND CREDIT MANAGEMENT
Although a risk of nonpayment exists with respect to all loans, certain
specific types of risks are associated with different types of loans. Due to the
nature of the Company's customer base and the growth experienced in the
Company's market area, real estate is frequently a material component of
collateral for the Company's loans. The expected source of repayment of these
loans is generally the operations of the borrower's business or the obligor's
personal income. However, real estate collateral provides an additional measure
of security. Risks associated with real estate loans include fluctuating land
values, local economic conditions, changes in tax policies, and a concentration
of loans within the Bank's market area.
The Company has a comprehensive risk management process to control,
underwrite, monitor and manage credit risk in lending. The Company mitigates
risks on construction loans by generally lending funds to customers that have
been prequalified for long term financing and who are using experienced
contractors approved by the Company. Making the majority of commercial real
estate loans to owner-occupied users of the property mitigates, but does not
eliminate, commercial real estate risk.
The Company manages the general risks inherent in the loan portfolio by
following loan policies and underwriting practices designed to result in prudent
lending activities. The following table presents information with respect to
non-performing assets (dollars in thousands):
DECEMBER 31,
-------------------------------------------

==== ==== ==== ==== ====
Percentage of non-performing assets
to total assets ................ .19% .19% .04% .04% .04%
The accrual of interest on a loan is discontinued when, in management's
judgment, the future collectibility of principal or interest is in doubt. Loans
placed on nonaccrual status may or may not be contractually past due at the time
of such determination, and may or may not be secured. When a loan is placed on
nonaccrual status, it is the Bank's policy to reverse, and charge against
current income, interest previously accrued but uncollected. Interest
subsequently collected on such loans is credited to loan principal if, in the
opinion of management, full collectibility of principal is doubtful. If interest
on nonaccrual loans had been accrued, such income would have been insignificant
for the periods presented.
At December 31, 1999, there were no potential problem loans, except as
discussed above, where known information about possible credit problems of the
borrower caused management to have serious doubts as to the ability of such
borrower to comply with the present loan repayment terms and which may result in
such loans being placed on a non-accrual basis.
8
RESERVE FOR LOAN LOSSES
The provision for loan losses charged to operating expense is based on
the Company's loan loss experience and such other factors which, in management's
judgement, should be considered in estimating possible loan losses. Management
monitors the loan portfolio to ensure that the reserve for loan losses is
adequate to cover outstanding loans on non-accrual status and any current loans
deemed to be in serious doubt of repayment according to each loan's repayment
plan. The following table summarizes the Company's reserve for loan losses and
charge-off and recovery activity for each of the last five years (dollars in
thousands):

ALLOCATION OF RESERVE FOR LOAN LOSSES
The Company does not normally allocate the reserve for loan losses to
specific loan categories. An allocation to these major categories is made below
for presentation purposes. This allocation process does not necessarily measure
anticipated future credit losses; rather, it seeks to measure the Bank's
assessment at a point in time of perceived credit loss exposure and the impact
of current and anticipated economic conditions. A schedule dividing the reserve
for loan losses into allocated and unallocated categories is furnished below for
the end of each of the last five years (dollars in thousands):

SUPERVISION AND REGULATION
Bancorp and the Bank are extensively regulated under federal and Oregon
law. These laws and regulations are primarily intended to protect depositors and
the deposit insurance fund, not shareholders of the Company. To the extent that
the following information describes statutory or regulatory provisions, it is
qualified in its entirety by reference to the particular statutory or regulatory
provisions. Any change in applicable laws or regulations may have a material
effect on the business and prospects of the Company. The operations of the
Company may be affected by legislative changes and by the policies of various
regulatory authorities. Management is unable to predict the nature or the extent
of the effects on its business and earnings that fiscal or monetary policies,
economic control or new Federal or State legislation may have in the future.
FEDERAL BANK HOLDING COMPANY REGULATION
The Company is a one-bank holding Company within the meaning of the
Bank Holding Company Act (Act), and as such, it is subject to regulation,
supervision and examination by the Federal Reserve Bank (FRB). The Company is
required to file annual reports with the FRB and to provide the FRB such
additional information as the FRB may require.
The Act requires every bank holding Company to obtain the prior
approval of the FRB before (1) acquiring, directly or indirectly, ownership or
control of any voting shares of another bank or bank holding Company if, after
such acquisition, it would own or control more than 5% of such shares (unless it
already owns or controls the majority of such shares); (2) acquiring all or
substantially all of the assets of another bank or bank holding Company; or (3)
merging or consolidating with another bank holding Company. The FRB will not
approve any acquisition, merger or consolidation that would have a substantial
anticompetitive result, unless the anticompetitive effects of the proposed
transaction are clearly outweighed by a greater public interest in meeting the
convenience and needs of the community to be served. The FRB also considers
capital adequacy and other financial and managerial factors in reviewing
acquisitions or mergers.
With certain exceptions, the Act also prohibits a bank holding Company
from acquiring or retaining direct or indirect ownership or control of more than
5% of the voting shares of any Company which is not a bank or bank holding
Company, or from engaging directly or indirectly in activities other than those
of banking, managing or controlling banks, or providing services for its
subsidiaries. The principal exceptions to these prohibitions involve certain
non-bank activities which, by statute or by FRB regulation or order, have been
identified as activities closely related to the business of banking or of
managing or controlling banks. In making this determination, the FRB considers
whether the performance of such activities by a bank holding Company can be
expected to produce benefits to the public such as greater convenience,
increased competition or gains in efficiency in resources, which can be expected
to outweigh the risks of possible adverse effects such as decreased or unfair
competition, conflicts of interest or unsound banking practices.
RECENT LEGISLATION - FINANCIAL HOLDING COMPANIES
On November 12, 1999 the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act became law, repealing
the 1933 Glass-Steagall Act's separation of the commercial and investment
banking industries. The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act expands the range of nonbanking
activities a bank holding company may engage in, while reserving existing
authority for bank holding companies to engage in activities that are closely
related to banking. The new legislation creates a new category of holding
company called a "Financial Holding Company," a subset of bank holding companies
that satisfy the following criteria:
1. all of the depository institution subsidiaries must be well
capitalized and well managed;
2. the holding company must file with the Federal Reserve Board a
declaration that it elects to
13
be a financial holding company to engage in activities that would
not have been permissible before the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act; and
3. all of the depository institution subsidiaries must have a
community Reinvestment Act rating of "satisfactory" or better.
Financial holding companies may engage in any activity that (i) is
financial in nature or incidental to such financial activity (ii) is
complementary to a financial activity and does not pose a substantial risk to
the safety and soundness of depository institutions or the financial system
generally. The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act specifies certain activities that are
financial in nature. These activities include:
o acting as a principal, agent or broker for insurance;
o underwriting, dealing in or making a market in securities; and
o providing financial and investment advice.
The Federal Reserve Board and the Secretary of the Treasury have
authority to decide whether other activities are also financial in nature or
incidental to financial activity, taking into account changes in technology,
changes in the banking marketplace, competition for banking services and so on.
The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act has only recently become law. Regulations of
the banking agencies implementing the legislative changes can be expected in the
near future. Except for the increase in competitive pressures faced by all
banking organizations that is a likely consequence of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley
Act, the legislation and implementing regulations are likely to have a more
immediate impact on large regional and national institutions than on community
based institutions engaged principally in traditional banking activities.
Because the legislation permits bank holding companies to engage in activities
previously prohibited altogether or severely restricted because of the risks
they posed to the banking system, implementing regulations can be expected to
impose strict and detailed prudential safeguards on affiliations among banking
and nonbanking companies in a holding company organization. Additionally,
because the legislation allows various affiliates within a single holding
company organization to serve a broader array of customers' financial goals,
including their banking, insurance and investment goals, implementing
regulations can be expected to impose strict safeguards on sharing of customer
information among affiliated entities within an organization. Bancorp will
evaluate the provisions of the Act and may elect to become a financial holding
company.
FEDERAL AND STATE BANK REGULATION
The Bank, as a Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insured
bank which is not a member of the Federal Reserve System, is subject to the
supervision and regulation of the State of Oregon Department of Consumer and
Business Services, Division of Finance and Corporate Securities, and to the
supervision and regulation of the FDIC. These agencies may prohibit the Bank
from engaging in what they believe constitute unsafe or unsound banking
practices.
The Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) requires that, in connection with
examinations of financial institutions within their jurisdiction, the FRB or the
FDIC evaluate the record of the financial institutions in meeting the credit
needs of their local communities, including low and moderate income
neighborhoods, consistent with the safe and sound operation of those banks.
These factors are also considered in evaluating mergers, acquisitions and
applications to open a branch or facility. The Bank's current CRA rating is
"Outstanding".
The Bank is also subject to certain restrictions imposed by the Federal
Reserve Act on extensions of credit to executive officers, directors, principal
stockholders or any related interest of such persons. Extensions of credit (I)
must be made on substantially the same terms, collateral and following credit
underwriting procedures that are not less stringent than those prevailing at the
time for comparable transactions with persons not described above, and (ii) must
not involve more than the normal risk of
14
repayment or present other unfavorable features. The Bank is also subject to
certain lending limits and restrictions on overdrafts to such persons. A
violation of these restrictions may result in the assessment of substantial
civil monetary penalties on the Bank or any officer, director, employee, agent
or other person participating in the conduct of the affairs of the Bank, the
imposition of a cease and desist order, and other regulatory sanctions.
Under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act
(FDICIA), each Federal banking agency is required to prescribe by regulation,
non-capital safety and soundness standards for institutions under its authority.
These standards are to cover internal controls, information systems and internal
audit systems, loan documentation, credit underwriting, interest rate exposure,
asset growth, compensation, fees and benefits, such other operational and
managerial standards as the agency determines to be appropriate, and standards
for asset quality, earnings and stock valuation. An institution, which fails to
meet these standards, must develop a plan acceptable to the agency, specifying
the steps that the institution will take to meet the standards. Failure to
submit or implement such a plan may subject the institution to regulatory
sanctions. The Company believes that the Bank already meets substantially all
the standards that are likely to be adopted, and therefore does not believe that
the implementation of these regulatory standards will materially affect the
Company's business operations.
INTERSTATE BANKING LEGISLATION
Under the Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act
of 1994 (the "Interstate Act"), bank holding companies are permitted to acquire
banks located in any state regardless of the state law in effect at the time.
The Interstate Act also provides for the nationwide interstate branching of
banks. Under the Interstate Act, both national and state chartered banks,
including Oregon, are permitted to merge across state lines and thereby create
interstate branch networks.
DEPOSIT INSURANCE
As a member institution of the FDIC, the deposits of the Bank are
currently insured to a maximum of $100,000 per depositor through the Bank
Insurance Fund ("BIF"), and the Bank is required to pay semiannual deposit
insurance premium assessments to the FDIC.
The Deposit Insurance Funds Act of 1996 ("Funds Act") eliminated the
statutorily-imposed minimum assessment amount, effective January 1, 1997. The
Funds Act also authorizes assessments on Bank Insurance Fund-assessable deposits
(such as, the Bank's deposits) and stipulates that the rate of assessment must
equal one-fifth the Financing Corporation assessment rate that is applied to
deposits assessable by the Savings Association Insurance Fund. The Financing
Corporation assessment rate for Bank Insurance Fund-assessable deposits is 1.296
cents per $100 of deposits per year. The Bank's FDIC insurance expense for 1999
was approximately $38,000.
REGULATORY DIVIDEND RESTRICTIONS
The principal source of Bancorp's cash revenues have been provided from
dividends received from the Bank. The Oregon banking laws impose the following
limitations on the payment of dividends by Oregon state chartered banks: (1) no
dividends may be paid which would impair capital; (2) until the surplus fund of
a bank is equal to 50% of its capital, no dividends may be declared unless there
has been carried to the surplus account no less than one fifth of its net
profits for the dividend period; and (3) dividends are payable only out of a
bank's undivided profits.
In addition, the appropriate regulatory authorities are authorized to
prohibit banks and bank holding companies from paying dividends, which would
constitute an unsafe or unsound banking practice. The Bank and Bancorp are not
currently subject to any regulatory restrictions on their dividends other than
those noted above.
REGULATORY CAPITAL
15
The Federal bank regulatory agencies use capital adequacy guidelines in
their examination and regulation of bank holding companies and banks. If the
capital falls below the minimum levels established by these guidelines, the bank
holding company or bank may be denied approval to acquire or establish
additional banks or non-bank businesses or to open facilities. At December 31,
1999 the Company is considered "well capitalized" according to these regulatory
capital guidelines. See footnote 17 to the Financial Statements in this report.
The FRB and FDIC promulgate risk-based capital guidelines for banks and
bank holding companies. Risk-based capital guidelines are designed to make
capital requirements sensitive to differences in risk profile among banks and
bank holding companies, to account for off-balance sheet exposure and to
minimize disincentives for holding liquid assets. Assets and off-balance sheet
items are assigned to broad risk categories, each with appropriate weights. The
resulting capital ratios represent capital as a percentage of total
risk-weighted assets and off-balance sheet items. The guidelines are minimums,
and the FRB has noted that bank holding companies contemplating significant
expansion programs should not allow expansion to diminish their capital ratios
and should maintain ratios well in excess of the minimum. The current guidelines
require all bank holding companies and banks to maintain a minimum risk-based
total capital ratio equal to 8%, of which at least 4% must be Tier 1 capital.
Tier 1 capital for bank holding companies includes common stockholders'
equity, qualifying perpetual preferred stock (up to 25% of total Tier 1 capital,
if cumulative; under a FRB rule, redeemable perpetual preferred stock may not be
counted as Tier 1 capital unless the redemption is subject to the prior approval
of the FRB) and minority interests in equity accounts of consolidated
subsidiaries, less intangibles. Tier 2 capital includes: (I) the allowance for
loan losses of up to 1.25% of risk-weighted assets; (ii) any qualifying
perpetual preferred stock which exceeds the amount which may be included in Tier
1 capital; (iii) hybrid capital instrument; (iv) perpetual debt; (v) mandatory
convertible securities and (vi) subordinated debt and intermediate term
preferred stock of up to 50% of Tier 1 capital. Total capital is the sum of Tier
1 and Tier 2 capital less reciprocal holdings of other banking organizations,
capital instruments and investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries.
Banks' and bank holding companies' assets are given risk-weights of 0%,
20%, 50% and 100%. In addition, certain off-balance sheet items are given credit
conversion factors to convert them to asset equivalent amounts to which an
appropriate risk-weight will apply. These computations result in the total
risk-weighted assets.
Loans are generally assigned to the 100% risk category, except for
first mortgage loans fully secured by residential property, which carry a 50%
rating. The Company's investment securities, mainly U.S. Government sponsored
agency obligations, are assigned to the 20% category, except for municipal or
state revenue bonds, which have a 50% risk-weight, and direct obligations of or
obligations fully guaranteed by the United States Treasury or United States
Government, which have 0% risk-weight. Off-balance sheet items, direct credit
substitutes, including general guarantees and standby letters of credit backing
financial obligations, are given a 100% conversion factor. Transaction related
contingencies such as bid bonds, other standby letters of credit and undrawn
commitments, including commercial credit lines with an initial maturity of more
than one year, have a 50% conversion factor. Short-term, self-liquidating trade
contingencies are converted at 20%, and short-term commitments have a 0% factor.
The FRB also has implemented a leverage ratio, which is Tier 1 capital
as a percentage of average total assets less intangibles, to be used as a
supplement to risk-based guidelines. The principal objective of the leverage
ratio is to place a constraint on the maximum degree to which a bank holding
Company may leverage its equity capital base. The FRB requires a minimum
leverage ratio of 3%. However, for all but the most highly rated bank holding
companies and for bank holding companies seeking to expand, the FRB expects an
additional cushion of at least 1% to 2%.
The FDICIA also created a new statutory framework of supervisory
actions indexed to the capital level of the individual institution. Under
regulations adopted by the FDIC, an institution is assigned to one of
16
five capital categories depending on its total risk-based capital ratio, Tier 1
risk-based capital ratio, and leverage ratio, together with certain subjective
factors. Institutions that are deemed "undercapitalized", depending on the
category to which they are assigned, are subject to certain mandatory
supervisory corrective actions.
MONETARY POLICY
The earnings of a bank holding company are affected by the policies of
regulatory authorities, including the FRB, in connection with the FRB's
regulation of the money supply. Various methods employed by the FRB are open
market operations in United States Government securities, changes in the
discount rate on member bank borrowings and changes in reserve requirements
against member bank deposits. These methods are used in varying combinations to
influence overall growth and distribution of bank loans, investments and
deposits, and their use may also affect interest rates charged on loans or paid
on deposits. The monetary policies of the FRB have had a significant affect on
the operating results of commercial banks in the past and are expected to
continue to do so in the future.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
At December 31, 1999, the Company conducted banking services in ten
locations. Nine throughout Central Oregon and one in Salem, Oregon. All offices
are free standing buildings except one location, which is leased space in a
supermarket. The main office/administrative center and three other branch
buildings are owned and are situated on leased land. The Bank owns land and
building at two branch locations. The Bank leases land and building at two
branch locations. All leases include multiple renewal options. The Bank owns
property in the Old Mill district of Bend for a possible future branch, or
combination branch/operations facility. Cascade Finance is housed in separate
leased retail space in Bend, Oregon. In addition to the above, the Bank
purchased land in Keizer, Oregon and intends to build a branch on the site to
open in mid-2000.
The Bank's Main Office and Administrative Center is located at 1100 NW
Wall Street, Bend, Oregon, and consists of approximately 15,000 square feet. The
building is owned by the Bank and is situated on leased land. The ground lease
term is for 30 years and commenced June 1, 1989. There are ten renewal options
of five years each. Monthly rental is $4,738 per month with adjustments every
five years by mutual agreement of landlord and tenant. The main bank branch
occupies the ground floor. Mortgage lending, administrative and operational
functions occupy approximately 8,400 square feet. A separate data processing and
drive-up facility is also located on site. In 1999 the Bank acquired a 3,000 sq
ft adjacent building for future expansion of administrative functions for
$295,000. Certain other operations are located in an adjacent building subject
to a short-term lease agreement.
In the opinion of management all of the Bank's properties are
adequately insured.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company is from time to time a party to various legal actions
arising in the normal course of business. Management believes that there is no
threatened or pending proceedings against the Company, which, if determined
adversely, would have a material effect on the business or financial position of
the Company.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the
Company's audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto as of
December 31, 1999 and 1998 and for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 1999 included elsewhere in this report.
When used in the following discussion, the word "expects," "believes,"
"anticipates" and other similar expressions are intended to identify
forward-looking statements, which are made pursuant to the safe harbor
provisions of the private securities litigation reform act of 1995. Such
forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that
could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. Specific
risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, general business and
economic conditions, and other factors listed from time to time in the Company's
SEC reports. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these
forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. The Company
undertakes no obligation to publish revised forward-looking statements to
reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events or circumstances after the date
hereof.
HIGHLIGHTS
The Company's 1999 net income was $6.2 million, up 8.2% from the $5.8
million earned in 1998. Net income in 1998 represented a 14.4% increase from
1997's net income of $5.0 million. During the reported periods, progressively
higher earnings have led to improved earnings per share and strong return on
equity. Diluted earnings per share reached $.89 in 1999 compared to $.82 in 1998
and $.70 in 1997, while return on equity was 22.3% in 1999 compared to 22.7% in
1998 and 20.7% in 1997.
Increased earnings in 1999 were primarily due to a $73.6 million or
35.7% increase in the Company's loan portfolio with a resulting increase in net
interest income. Investment portfolio securities declined by $19.1 million in
1999 due to a combination of maturities, calls and sales within the portfolio.
The 1999 net growth in earning assets in 1999 was funded by expansion in
customer deposit balances augmented by Federal Home Loan Bank and other
wholesale borrowings. Similarly, 1998 earnings improved because of strong growth
in the loan portfolio funded by a solid increase in deposit balances.
Trends in non-interest income and expense continue to be affected by
rapid growth in customers and higher account transaction volumes, as well as
costs incurred in new business locations. In 1999, however, total non-interest
income declined by 5.3% or $305,000 due to reduced revenue in residential
mortgage banking activities owing to the higher interest rate environment. In
contrast, during the lower interest rate climate in 1998, mortgage origination
and sale activity had contributed to a 29% increase in non-interest income
compared to 1997. The rate of growth in non-interest expenses moderated to 19.8%
in 1999 from a 32.2% increase in 1998. This moderation occurred despite the
Company incurring start up costs for two new branch locations and upgrading of
computer and online banking capacity during the year.
The Company opened two new branch banking offices in the first quarter
of 1999, bringing total branch locations to ten. The Bank entered the Salem,
Oregon market with a full service branch office and opened a second branch in
Redmond, Oregon. The Redmond office reached breakeven financial performance late
in 1999, and the Salem office is meeting internal projections as to financial
performance. Management generally targets new branches to achieve profitability
within two to three years, however there can be no assurance that future
profitability will be achieved.
Other highlights include the opening of a Bank Trust Department in July
1999. Trust services will focus on the personal trust needs of existing and
prospective clients by providing living and testamentary trust, asset and
financial management, and fiduciary services. At the same time an on-site office
of Raymond James Financial Services opened to provide convenient stock brokerage
and investment services to Bank customers.
21
The Company anticipates opening a new branch banking office in Keizer,
Oregon in mid-2000, bringing total branch locations to eleven. The opening of
this branch is not expected to be material to the financial results of the
Company in 2000.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999, 1998, AND 1997
NET INTEREST INCOME
In 1999, net interest income increased 25.9% to $21.7 million compared
to 1998, as growth in loan volumes generated higher interest income. Similarly,
strong loan growth in 1998 drove an increase in net interest income of 22.9% to
$17.3 million compared to 1997. In 1999 Interest from loans and investment
activities increased $5.6 million compared to the year earlier. This followed a
1998 increase in interest income of $3.6 million compared to 1997. Increased
earning assets at year-end 1999 were funded by a year over year growth in
deposits of $14.5 million and borrowings of $30.1 million. Although the Bank's
loan growth in 1999 was partially funded by the use of higher cost borrowed
funds, the increase in interest income related to higher loan volumes exceeded
the higher cost of such borrowing. In 1998, year-end customer deposits grew
$59.5 million, approximately the same dollar growth as was experienced by the
loan portfolio that year.
The Company's net interest margin expanded from 7.17% in 1997, to 7.40%
in 1998 and 7.46% in 1999. Yields on earning assets in 1997, 1998 and 1999 were
9.61%, 9.62% and 9.64%, respectively. Average rates paid on deposits and
borrowings increased from 3.22% in 1998 to 3.43% in 1999. In mid-1999 the
Federal Reserve embarked on a process of engineering higher market interest
rates. It is anticipated that this will have the effect of increasing the
Company's cost of funds into 2000. While the Bank has historically maintained a
net interest margin well above peer banks and anticipates this to continue, the
Company's future net interest margin is likely to be lower from the peak margins
experienced during the past two years.
LOAN LOSS PROVISION
The loan loss provision increased during the periods presented to keep
pace with loan growth. Loan loss provision for 1999 was $2.1 compared to $1.2
million in 1998 and $1.1 million in 1997. The Bank's ratio of reserve for loan
losses to total loans was 1.26% at December 31, 1999 as compared to 1.28% at
December 31, 1998. Management believes the reserve for loan losses is adequate
to absorb potential losses on identified nonperforming assets as well as general
losses at historical and expected levels.
NONINTEREST INCOME
During the periods reported, the Company has experienced steady
increases in service fee income as it has increased its market share of business
and consumer accounts. However, overall noninterest income in 1999 was down
slightly from 1998 due to volatility in mortgage banking revenues resulting from
the increasing interest rate environment that developed during 1999. Total
noninterest income decreased 5.3% to $5.4 million in 1999 compared to $5.7
million in the prior year. In contrast, 1998 noninterest income was up 29.3%
compared to 1997.
Specifically, 1999 mortgage loan origination and processing fees
decreased to $1.3 million in 1999 from $1.8 million the prior year. In the lower
interest rate climate of 1998, residential mortgage loan origination and
processing fees were $1.8 million, up from $1.1 million in 1997. Residential
mortgage origination volumes totaled $98 million in 1999, $147 million in 1998
and $84 million in 1997. The general level and direction of interest rates
directly influence the volume and profitability of mortgage banking. Therefore
there can be no assurance as to the amount of origination fees and gains on
sales of residential mortgage loans in the future. The Bank commenced in-house
servicing of residential mortgage loans in March 1998. Serviced loans are bank
originated residential mortgages that have been sold to FNMA. The mortgages were
previously sub-serviced by another financial institution. Primarily due to
building volumes of serviced loans, 1999 mortgage servicing fees increased to
$640,000 compared to $492,000 in 1998 and $223,000 in 1997. Related mortgage
servicing rights are amortized in proportion to estimated net servicing income.
In the event of rapid customer
22
refinancing or prepayment activity, market valuation of capitalized mortgage
servicing rights could be impaired. Capitalized mortgage servicing rights
totaled approximately $2.8 million at year-end 1999 compared to $2.3 million at
year end 1998 and $1.3 million at year end 1997.
NONINTEREST EXPENSE
Total 1999 noninterest expense was $15.0 million, an increase of $2.5
million or 19.8% from 1998. This was compared to an increase of 32.2% in 1998
over 1997. Salaries and benefits increased $1.5 million in 1999. Approximately
half of this increase resulted from additional staffing for new endeavors
including the start-up of two new branch locations and a Trust Department. In
addition, volume related additions to staff occurred in operations,
administration and data processing activities. The general level of compensation
increased along with higher costs for benefits including healthcare and payroll
taxes. Similarly, rapid growth in business volumes was the primary factor in the
1998 increase in salary and benefits of $1.9 million from 1997 levels. It is
anticipated that human resources will increase in 2000 primarily due to staff
additions for the expected new branch office in Keizer, Oregon. Other categories
of expenses grew in both 1999 and 1998 in tandem with business expansion,
including occupancy, equipment, supplies and communications costs. INCOME TAXES
The provision for income taxes increased between the periods presented
primarily as a result of higher pre-tax income. The effective tax rate in 1997
was lower than other years due to a state income tax rebate.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
The Company continued to experience strong growth in 1999 in
conjunction with the economic performance of the communities it serves. Total
assets increased 15.7% to $347.9 million at December 31, 1999 compared to $300.8
million at December 31, 1998. Growth in total assets was funded by a $14.4
million increase in deposits and a $30.1 increase in borrowings at period end.
Higher borrowings were a consequence of loan growth exceeding the increase in
total deposits during the year. In the continuing strong economic environment in
the markets served by the Company, the loan portfolio was up 35.7% to $280.0
million at year-end 1999, $73.6 million higher than a year earlier. Loan growth
was concentrated in the commercial real estate portfolio up $41.1 million or
58.2%. This increase in part resulted from the Bank's tailored lending programs
for owner occupied business ventures, whereby the Bank primarily relies on cash
flow from the business for loan repayment, but takes commercial real estate
properties as an additional level of security.
The investment portfolio declined to $31.8 million at year-end 1999
compared to $51.0 million at year-end 1998. This reduction of investment
securities resulted from a combination of maturities, calls, and sales within
the portfolio. The cash proceeds from the declining investment portfolio were
re-deployed to support the funding of increased loan volumes.
Total deposits at year end 1999 were $285.3 million, an increase of
$14.5 million or 5.3% compared to year-end 1998. Deposits averaged $286.6
million for the full year 1999, up 21.6% or $50.9 million from the prior year
average. Comparative year-end changes in deposit composition include interest
bearing demand up $13.9 million or 12.7%, time deposits up $8.2 million or
26.5%, and non-interest bearing demand down $8.3 million or 7.2%.
The Company had no off balance sheet derivative financial instruments
as of December 31, 1999 and 1998.
23
INFLATION
The general rate of inflation over the past two years, as measured by
the Consumer Price Index, has not changed significantly, and management does not
consider the effects of inflation on the Company's financial position and
earnings to be material.
LIQUIDITY
The Company analyzes and manages its liquidity to ensure the
availability of sufficient funds to meet depositor withdrawals as well as to
fund borrowing needs of its loan customers. The Bank's stable deposit base is
the foundation of its long-term liquidity since these funds are not subject to
significant volatility as a result of changing interest rates and other economic
factors. A further source of liquidity is the Bank's ability to borrow funds
from a variety of reliable sources.
At December 31, 1999 the Bank maintained five unsecured lines of credit
totaling $18.0 million for the purchase of funds on a short-term basis. The Bank
is also a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) which provides a secured
line of credit of $34.5 million that may be accessed for short or long-term
borrowings. The Bank also had $23.7 million short term borrowing availability
from the Federal Reserve System that requires specific qualifying collateral. At
December 31, 1999 the Bank had outstanding short-term borrowings totaling $30.1
million, with aggregate remaining available borrowings of $46.1 million.
At December 31, 1999 the Bank had approximately $114 million in
outstanding commitments to extend credit. Historically a significant portion of
the commitments will expire or terminate without funding. In addition,
approximately 26% of total commitments pertain to various construction projects.
Under the terms of such construction commitments, completion of specified
project benchmarks must be certified before funds may be drawn. Management
believes that the Bank's available resources will be sufficient to fund its
commitments in the normal course of business.
CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's total stockholders' equity at December 31, 1999 was $29.6
million, an increase of $2.6 million from December 31, 1998. 1999 equity was
increased by earnings of $6.2 million for the year less cash dividends paid to
shareholders of $2.2 million. In addition, during 1999, the Company repurchased
61,990 shares of its common stock outstanding pursuant to a Board of Directors
authorized program. This had the effect of reducing equity by $.9 million during
the year. At year end 1999, net unrealized gains (losses) on investment
securities available-for-sale decreased to ($.6) million from $.2 million a year
earlier.
24
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
INTEREST RATE RISK AND ASSET AND LIABILITY MANAGEMENT
It is the Company's Asset and Liability management policy to manage
interest rate risk to maximize long term profitability under the range of likely
interest rate scenarios. The Board of Directors oversees implementation of
strategies to control interest rate risk. The Company may take steps to alter
its net sensitivity position by offering deposit and/or loan structures that
tend to mitigate its risk profile. In addition, the Company may acquire
investment securities, interest rate swaps or other hedging instruments with
repricing characteristics that tend to moderate interest rate risk. Because of
the volatility of market rates and uncertainties described above there can be no
assurance of the effectiveness of management programs to achieve its risk
management objectives.
The Company's profitability, like most financial institutions, depends
to a large extent upon its net interest income, which is the difference between
the interest earned on assets (loans and investments), versus the interest
expense paid on its liabilities (deposits and borrowings). The Company's
historical business activity had tended to originate loans with maturities and
repricing terms which are shorter than those of deposit relationships. These
maturity and repricing differences had tended to create an interest rate risk
profile whereby the Company would tend to generate higher earnings should market
interest rates rise and lower earnings should interest rates fall. However, the
past years' strong loan growth coupled with increased short-term borrowings has
moderated the Company's historic interest rate risk profile. At year-end 1999
the Company's future net interest income was proportionately less adversely
impacted by markedly lower interest rates than a year ago, but is not favorably
affected by markedly higher rates, as was the case in the past.
The Company analyzes interest rate risk by simulation modeling and by
traditional interest rate gap analysis. While both methods provide an indication
of risk for a given change in interest rates, it is management's opinion that
simulation is the more effective tool for asset and liability management. The
Bank's simulation analysis forecasts net interest income and earnings given an
unchanged interest rate scenario. The model then estimates a percentage change
in earnings from the unchanged rate scenario under various circumstances of
gradually rising and declining market interest rates over one and two year time
horizons. The following table defines extremes in market interest rates used in
the model for rapidly rising and rapidly declining interest rate scenarios.
These market rate extremes are reached gradually over the 2-year simulation
horizon.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Unchanged Rates Rising Rates Declining Rates
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Federal Funds Rate 5.75% 11.00% 2.00%
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Prime Rate 8.75% 14.00% 5.00%
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following table presents percentage change in earnings per the
simulation model under the above-described scenarios of gradually rising and
gradually declining interest rates as of year-end 1999.
Estimated percentage increase/(decrease) in earnings compared to
"unchanged" rate scenario:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
First twelve Months Second twelve Months
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rising Rate Scenario (8.30%) (12.90%)
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Declining Rate Scenario (4.40%) (17.60%)
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The above results are only indicative of the Company's possible range
of interest rate risk exposure under various scenarios. The results do not
encompass all possible changes in market rates, nor do the results include
possible changes in volumes, pricing or portfolio management tactics which may
enable management to moderate the effect of such interest rate changes.
25
Simulations are dependent on assumptions and estimations that
management believes are reasonable, although the actual results may vary
substantially, and there can be no assurance that simulation results are
reliable indicators of future earnings under such conditions. This is, in part,
because of the nature and uncertainties inherent in simulating future events
including: 1) no presumption of changes in asset and liability strategies in
response to changing circumstances; 2) errors in assumptions within the model;
3) uncertainties as to customer behavior in response to changing circumstance;
4) unexpected absolute and relative loan and deposit volume changes; 5)
unexpected absolute and relative loan and deposit pricing levels; 6) unexpected
behavior by competitors; 7) other unanticipated events impacting volatility in
market conditions and interest rates.
At year-end 1999, the Company's one-year cumulative interest rate gap
analysis indicates that rate sensitive liabilities maturing or available for
repricing within one-year exceeded rate sensitive assets by approximately $62.8
million. A year earlier, rate sensitive assets exceeded maturing or available
for repricing rate sensitive liabilities by $13.9 million.

REPORT OF SYMONDS, EVANS & LARSON, P.C.,
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of Cascade Bancorp
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Cascade Bancorp
and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the related consolidated
statements of income, changes in stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each
of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1999. These consolidated
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial
statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Cascade Bancorp and
subsidiaries as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 1999 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

CASCADE BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1999
1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts
of Cascade Bancorp (Bancorp), a bank holding company, and its
wholly-owned subsidiaries, Bank of the Cascades (the Bank) and Cascade
Bancorp Financial Services, Inc. (formerly Cascade Finance)
(collectively, "the Company"). Cascade Bancorp Financial Services, Inc.
was incorporated in 1999 to manage the existing consumer installment
loans which were present in Cascade Finance. Subsequent to the
incorporation of Cascade Bancorp Financial Services, Inc., the ongoing
consumer finance operations of Cascade Finance became a division of the
Bank. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation.
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
The Bank conducts a general banking business and primarily operates in
one business segment. Its activities include the usual lending and
deposit functions of a commercial bank: commercial, real estate,
installment, credit card and mortgage loans; checking, money market, time
deposit and savings accounts; internet banking and bill payment;
automated teller machines (ATMs) and safe deposit facilities. The Bank
also originates and sells mortgage loans into the secondary market.
The Bank, doing business as Cascade Finance, purchases used automobile
installment contracts from local dealerships in addition to direct
consumer finance loans.
METHOD OF ACCOUNTING
The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles and prevailing practices
within the banking industry. The Company utilizes the accrual method of
accounting which recognizes income when earned and expenses when
incurred. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets
and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and
the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting periods.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include
cash on hand, amounts due from banks and federal funds sold. Generally,
federal funds are sold for one-day periods.
The Bank maintains balances in correspondent bank accounts which, at
times, may exceed federally insured limits. Management believes that its
risk of loss associated with such balances is minimal due to the
financial strength of the correspondent banks. The Bank has not
experienced any losses in such accounts.
35
1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(CONTINUED)
SUPPLEMENTAL DISCLOSURES OF CASH FLOW INFORMATION
During 1999, 1998 and 1997, noncash transactions resulted from unrealized
gains (losses) on investment securities available-for-sale, net of income
taxes, as disclosed in the accompanying consolidated statements of
changes in stockholders' equity. In addition, during 1999, 1998 and 1997,
noncash investing activities resulted from the net capitalization of
approximately $547,000, $1,021,000 and $695,000, respectively, in
originated mortgage servicing rights.
During 1999, 1998 and 1997, the Bank paid approximately $6,302,000,
$5,138,000 and $4,747,000, respectively, in interest expense.
INVESTMENT SECURITIES
Investment securities that management has the positive intent and ability
to hold to maturity are classified as held-to-maturity securities and
reported at cost, adjusted for premiums and discounts that are recognized
in interest income using the interest method over the period to maturity.
Investment securities that are purchased and held principally for the
purpose of selling them in the near term are classified as trading
securities and are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and
losses included in noninterest income. The Company had no trading
securities as of December 31, 1999 or 1998.
Investment securities that are not classified as either held-to-maturity
securities or trading securities are classified as available-for-sale
securities and are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and
losses excluded from earnings and reported as other comprehensive income
or loss, net of income taxes.
Gains or losses on the sale of available-for-sale securities are
determined using the specific-identification method. Gross losses on
sales of investment securities available-for-sale during 1999 were
$10,619. The income tax benefit applicable to these losses was
approximately $4,000. Premiums and discounts on available-for-sale
securities are recognized in interest income using the interest method
over the period to maturity.
Declines in the fair value of individual held-to-maturity and
available-for-sale securities below their cost that are other than
temporary would result in write-downs of the individual securities to
their fair value. The related write-downs would be included in earnings
as realized losses. Management believes that all unrealized losses on
investment securities as of December 31, 1999 and 1998 are temporary.
FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK STOCK
The Bank invests in Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) stock which is carried
at par value, which approximates fair value. As a member of the FHLB
system, the Bank is required to maintain a minimum level of investment in
FHLB stock based on specific percentages of its outstanding mortgages,
total assets or FHLB advances. The Bank may request redemption at par
value of any FHLB stock in excess of the minimum required investment.
Stock redemptions are at the discretion of FHLB.
36
1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(CONTINUED)
LOANS
Loans are stated at the amount of unpaid principal, reduced by any
deferred loan fees and reserve for loan losses. The reserve for loan
losses represents management's recognition of the assumed risks of
extending credit and the quality of the existing loan portfolio. The
reserve is maintained at a level considered adequate to provide for
potential loan losses based on management's assessment of various factors
affecting the portfolio. Such factors include loss experience; review of
problem loans; underlying collateral values; current economic conditions;
and an overall evaluation of the quality, risk characteristics and
concentration of loans in the portfolio. The reserve is based on
estimates, and ultimate losses may vary from the current estimates. These
estimates are reviewed periodically, and, as adjustments become
necessary, they are reported in earnings in the periods in which they
become known. The reserve is increased by provisions charged to
operations and reduced by loans charged-off, net of recoveries.
The Bank considers loans to be impaired when management believes that it
is probable that all amounts due will not be collected according to the
contractual terms. An impaired loan must be valued using the present
value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective
interest rate, the loan's observable market price or the fair value of
the loan's underlying collateral. The Bank primarily measures impairment
on all large balance nonaccrual loans (typically commercial and
commercial real estate loans) based on the fair value of the underlying
collateral. In certain other cases, impairment is measured based on the
present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's
effective interest rate. Amounts deemed impaired are either specifically
allocated for in the reserve for loan losses or reflected as a partial
charge-off of the loan balance. Smaller balance homogeneous loans
(typically installment loans) are collectively evaluated for impairment.
Generally, the Bank evaluates a loan for impairment when it is placed on
nonaccrual status. All of the Bank's impaired loans at December 31, 1999
and 1998 were on nonaccrual status.
The accrual of interest on impaired loans is discontinued when, in
management's opinion, the borrower may be unable to meet payments as they
become due. When interest accrual is discontinued, all unpaid accrued
interest is reversed. Interest income is subsequently recognized only to
the extent cash payments are received.
Loan origination and commitment fees, net of certain direct loan
origination costs, are generally recognized as an adjustment of the yield
of the related loan.
Interest income on all loans is accrued as earned on the simple interest
method.
Various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination
process, periodically review the Bank's reserve for loan losses. Such
agencies may require the Bank to recognize additions to the reserve based
on their judgment of the information available to them at the time of
their examinations.
MORTGAGE LOANS
Mortgage loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or
estimated market value. Market value is determined on an aggregate loan
basis. At December 31, 1999 and 1998, mortgage loans held for sale were
carried at cost, which approximated estimated market value.
37
1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(CONTINUED)
At December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, the Bank held servicing rights to
approximately $268,792,000, $232,916,000 and $174,294,000, respectively,
in mortgage loans which have been sold into the secondary market. Such
mortgage loans are not included in the accompanying balance sheets.
Beginning in March 1998, the Bank began in-house servicing of these
mortgage loans. Previously, such mortgage loans were sub-serviced by
another financial institution. The sale of these mortgage loans is
subject to technical underwriting exceptions and related repurchase
risks. Such risks are considered in the determination of the reserve for
loan losses.
During the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, the Bank
capitalized approximately $1,154,000, $1,620,000 and $836,000,
respectively, in mortgage servicing rights. The capitalized mortgage
servicing rights are being amortized in proportion to, and over the
period of, estimated net servicing income. During the years ended
December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, the amortization of the capitalized
mortgage servicing rights totaled approximately $607,000, $599,000 and
$141,000, respectively. The net amount of capitalized mortgage servicing
rights at December 31, 1999 and 1998 (approximately $2,838,000 and
$2,291,000, respectively) is included in accrued interest and other
assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
The fair value (which approximates the carrying amount) of the
capitalized mortgage servicing rights at December 31, 1999 and 1998 was
determined by management based on comparisons to current market
transactions involving mortgage servicing rights with similar portfolio
characteristics and estimates of the net present value of expected future
cash flows. The predominant risk characteristics of the underlying loans
used to stratify the capitalized mortgage servicing rights for purposes
of measuring impairment include, but are not limited to, interest rates,
interest types (i.e., fixed and variable) and loan types. Each strata is
then discounted to reflect the present value of the expected future cash
flows utilizing current market assumptions including discount rates,
prepayment speeds and delinquency rates.
PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT
Premises and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation
and amortization. Depreciation and amortization on premises and equipment
is computed on straight-line and accelerated methods over the shorter of
the estimated useful lives of the assets or terms of the leases.
Amortization of leasehold improvements is included in depreciation and
amortization expense in the accompanying consolidated financial
statements.
OTHER REAL ESTATE
Other real estate, acquired through foreclosure or deeds in lieu of
foreclosure, is carried at the lower of cost or estimated net realizable
value. When the property is acquired, any excess of the loan balance over
the estimated net realizable value is charged to the reserve for loan
losses. Subsequent write-downs to net realizable value, if any, and any
disposition gains or losses, are included in noninterest income and
expenses. Other real estate at December 31, 1999 and 1998 totaled
approximately $40,000 and $409,000, respectively.

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(CONTINUED)
STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
The Bank, as a state-chartered bank, is prohibited from declaring or
paying any dividend in an amount greater than undivided profits. At
December 31, 1999, approximately $6,825,000 was available for the payment
of dividends to Bancorp without prior regulatory approval.
In June 1999, the Company declared a 10% stock dividend; in June 1998,
the Company declared a three-for-two stock split; and in June 1997, the
Company declared a two-for-one stock split. Basic and diluted earnings
per common share (see Note 11), cash dividends per share and the stock
option plan information (see Note 14) have been adjusted to give
retroactive effect to the stock dividend and stock splits.
During 1999, 1998 and 1997, the Company repurchased shares of its common
stock. As of December 31, 1999, approximately 43,000 shares remain
authorized for possible repurchase under the Company's stock repurchase
plan.
In January 2000, the Company declared a $.08 per share cash dividend
which totaled approximately $549,000 and is payable to stockholders of
record as of January 25, 2000.
ADVERTISING
Advertising costs are generally charged to expense during the year in
which they are incurred.
INCOME TAXES
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are reflected at currently enacted
income tax rates applicable to the period in which the deferred tax
assets or liabilities are expected to be realized or settled. As changes
in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are
adjusted through the provision for income taxes.
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In June 1999, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 137, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities-Deferral of the Effective
Date of FASB Statement 133" (SFAS 137), an amendment of SFAS 133, which
establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments
and hedging activities and requires that an entity recognize all
derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and
measure those instruments at fair value. SFAS 133, as amended by SFAS
137, is effective for all quarterly and annual financial statements of
fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. The Company had no
significant derivatives as of December 31, 1999, nor does the Company
engage in any hedging activities. Accordingly, the Company does not
anticipate that the adoption of SFAS 133, as amended by SFAS 137, will
have a material effect on its consolidated financial position or results
of operations.
In October 1998, SFAS No. 134, "Accounting for Mortgage-Backed Securities
Retained After the Securitization of Mortgage Loans Held for Sale by a
Mortgage Banking Enterprise" (SFAS 134), was issued. SFAS 134 was
effective in 1999 and had no effect on the accompanying consolidated
financial statements.

RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain amounts in 1998 and 1997 have been reclassified to conform with
the 1999 presentation.
2. CASH AND DUE FROM BANKS
The Bank is required to maintain an average reserve balance
(approximately $1,846,000 and $1,050,000 at December 31, 1999 and 1998,
respectively) with the Federal Reserve Bank or maintain such reserve
balance in the form of cash. This requirement was met by holding cash and
maintaining an average reserve balance with the Federal Reserve Bank in
excess of this amount.

4. LOANS (CONTINUED)
The Bank has nine branches located in central Oregon and one branch
located in Salem, Oregon. The result of doing business in these
geographic areas has been growth in loan demand. A substantial portion of
the Bank's loans are collateralized by real estate in these geographic
areas and, accordingly, the ultimate collectibility of a substantial
portion of the Bank's loan portfolio is susceptible to changes in the
local market conditions.
In the normal course of business, the Bank participates portions of loans
to third parties in order to extend the Bank's lending capability or to
mitigate risk. At December 31, 1999 and 1998, the portion of these loans
participated to third parties (which are not included in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements) totaled approximately $2,529,000 and
$2,015,000, respectively.
Also in the normal course of business, the Bank finances qualified
construction projects. The majority of residential construction loans are
sold into the secondary market subsequent to completion of the projects.
5. RESERVE FOR LOAN LOSSES
Transactions in the reserve for loan losses for the years ended December
31, 1999, 1998 and 1997 were as follows:
1999 1998 1997
--------- -------- ---------
Balance at beginning of year . $ 2,635,820 $ 2,048,561 $ 1,691,260

Impaired loans as of December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997 and for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 1999 were not significant to
the accompanying consolidated financial statements. In addition, loans
past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest at December 31, 1999
and 1998 were not significant to the accompanying consolidated financial
statements.
6. PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT
Premises and equipment at December 31, 1999 and 1998 consisted of the

7. TIME CERTIFICATES OF DEPOSIT
Time certificates of deposit in excess of $100,000 aggregated
approximately $14,073,000 and $9,310,000 at December 31, 1999 and 1998,
respectively. Interest expense on time certificates of deposit in excess
of $100,000 was approximately $432,000, $307,000 and $169,000 in 1999,
1998 and 1997, respectively.
At December 31, 1999, the scheduled annual maturities of all time
certificates of deposit were approximately as follows:
2000 $ 35,591,000
2001 2,156,000
2002 921,000
2003 209,000
2004 110,000
-------------
$ 38,987,000
8. BORROWING AGREEMENTS
The Bank participates in the Cash Management Advance Program (the
Program) with the FHLB, which is subject to annual renewal in October
2000. As of December 31, 1999, the Bank had $5,000,000 in borrowings
outstanding from the FHLB under the Program with interest at 5.70%. In
addition, as of December 31, 1999, the Bank had $8,000,000 in borrowings
outstanding from the FHLB under a promissory note agreement, which are
due in February 2000 and bear interest at a fixed rate of 5.84%. As of
December 31, 1999, the Bank had remaining available borrowings from the
FHLB of approximately $21,517,000.
All outstanding borrowings with the FHLB are collateralized by a blanket
pledge agreement on the Bank's FHLB stock, any funds on deposit with the
FHLB, investment securities and loans. As of December 31, 1998, there
were no borrowings outstanding from the FHLB.
9. OFF-BALANCE SHEET FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
In the normal course of business, the Bank is a party to financial
instruments with off-balance sheet risk to meet the financing needs of
its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend
credit, commitments under credit card lines of credit and standby letters
of credit. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of
credit and interest-rate risk in excess of amounts recognized in the
accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The contractual amounts of
these instruments reflect the extent of the Bank's involvement in these
particular classes of financial instruments. As of December 31, 1999 and
1998, the Bank held no derivative financial instruments.
The Bank's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the
other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit,
commitments under credit card lines of credit and standby letters of
credit, is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments.
The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments and
conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.
43
9. OFF-BALANCE SHEET FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)
A summary of the Bank's off-balance sheet financial instruments at
December 31, 1999 and 1998 is approximately as follows:
1999 1998
-------- --------
Commitments to extend credit ................ $ 97,280,000 $ 65,858,000
Commitments under credit card lines of credit 15,954,000 10,889,000
Standby letters of credit ................... 1,051,000 785,000
------------ ------------
Total off-balance sheet financial instruments $114,285,000 $ 77,532,000
============ ============
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long
as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract.
Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination
clauses and may require payment of fees. Since many of the commitments
are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment
amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Bank
evaluates each customer's creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The
amount of collateral obtained, if it is deemed necessary by the Bank upon
extension of credit, is based on management's credit evaluation of the
counterparty. The Bank typically does not obtain collateral related to
credit card commitments. Collateral held for other commitments varies but
may include accounts receivable, inventory, property and equipment and
income-producing commercial properties.
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank
to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third-party. These
guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing
arrangements. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is
essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to
customers. Collateral held, if required, varies as specified above.
10. INCOME TAXES
The provision (credit) for income taxes for the years ended December 31,
1999, 1998 and 1997 was approximately as follows:
1999 1998 1997
------- ------- -------
Current:
Federal ................ $ 3,166,000 $ 2,851,400 $ 2,280,700
State .................. 663,500 613,000 304,000
----------- ----------- -----------

----------- ----------- -----------
Provision for income taxes $ 3,772,500 $ 3,491,400 $ 2,863,700
=========== =========== ===========
The provision for income taxes results in effective tax rates which are
different than the federal income tax statutory rate. The nature of the
differences for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997 were
approximately as follows:
1999 1998 1997
-------- ------- -------
Expected federal income tax at statutory
rate of 34% ........................... $ 3,403,700 $ 3,147,500 $ 2,687,600

Provision for income taxes .............. $ 3,772,500 $ 3,491,400 $ 2,863,700
=========== =========== ===========
44
10. INCOME TAXES (CONTINUED)
The components of the net deferred tax assets (liabilities) at December
31, 1999 and 1998 were approximately as follows:
1999 1998
-------- --------
Assets:
Loan loss provision .......................... $1,063,000 $ 838,000
Net unrealized losses on investment securities 381,000 --

---------- ----------
Total deferred tax liabilities .......... 2,114,000 1,766,000
---------- ----------
Net deferred tax assets (liabilities) .. $ 276,000 $ (257,000)
========== ==========
Management believes, primarily based upon the Company's historical
performance, that the net deferred tax assets will be recognized in the
normal course of operations and, accordingly, management has not reduced
net deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance.
The Company made income tax payments of approximately $4,165,000,
$3,267,000 and $2,520,000 during 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
11. BASIC AND DILUTED EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE
The Company's basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net
income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during
the period. The Company's diluted earnings per common share is computed
by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares
outstanding plus dilutive common shares related to stock options.
45
11. BASIC AND DILUTED EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE (CONTINUED)
The numerators and denominators used in computing basic and diluted
earnings per common share for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and
1997 can be reconciled as follows:
NET
INCOME SHARES PER-SHARE

============== ============= =======
The above computations have not been adjusted to reflect the issuance of
additional stock options in January 2000 (see Note 14).
12. TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES
Some of the officers and directors (and the companies with which they are
associated) are customers of, and have had banking transactions with, the
Bank in the ordinary course of the Bank's business. In addition, the Bank
expects to continue to have such banking transactions in the future. All
loans and commitments to loan to such parties are generally made on the
same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing
at the time for comparable transactions with other persons. In the
opinion of management, these transactions do not involve more than the
normal risk of collectibility or present any other unfavorable features.
An analysis of activity with respect to loans to directors and officers
of the Bank for the year ended December 31, 1999 was as follows:
Balance at December 31, 1998 $ 1,678,306
Additions 2,851,766
Repayments (3,194,498)
-----------
Balance at December 31, 1999 $ 1,335,574

13. BENEFIT PLANS
401(K) PROFIT SHARING PLAN
The Company maintains a 401(k) profit sharing plan (the Plan) that covers
substantially all full-time employees. Employees may make voluntary
tax-deferred contributions to the Plan, and employer contributions
related to the Plan are at the discretion of the Board, not to exceed the
amount deductible for federal income tax purposes. Employees have the
option to receive a portion of the employer's contribution in cash.
Employees vest in the employer contributions which are contributed into
the Plan over a period of five years. The total amounts charged to
operations under the Plan were approximately $811,000, $755,000 and
$628,000 for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997,
respectively.
OTHER BENEFIT PLANS
The Bank has deferred compensation plans for members of the Board of
Directors (the Board) and certain key executives and managers, a salary
continuation plan for certain key executives and a fee continuation plan
for the Board.
In accordance with the provisions of the deferred compensation plans,
participants can elect to defer portions of their annual compensation or
fees. The deferred amounts generally vest as deferred. The deferred
compensation plus interest is generally payable upon termination in
either a lump sum or monthly installments.
The salary continuation plan for certain key executives and the fee
continuation plan for the Board provide defined benefits to the
participants upon termination. The defined benefits for substantially all
of the key executives and the Board are for periods of fifteen years and
ten years, respectively. The benefits are subject to certain vesting
requirements, and vested amounts are generally payable upon termination
in either a lump sum or monthly installments.
The Bank annually expenses amounts sufficient to accrue for the present
value of the benefits payable to the participants under these plans.
The plans also include death benefit provisions for certain participants.
To assist in the funding of the plans, the Bank has purchased life
insurance policies on the majority of the participants. The cash
surrender value of these policies at December 31, 1999 and 1998 was
approximately $6,157,000 and $5,632,000, respectively, and is included in
accrued interest and other assets in the accompanying consolidated
balance sheets.
As of December 31, 1999 and 1998, the liabilities related to the deferred
compensation plans included in the accompanying consolidated balance
sheets totaled approximately $693,000 and $509,000, respectively. The
amount of expense charged to operations in 1999, 1998 and 1997 related to
the deferred compensation plans was approximately $184,000, $182,000 and
$122,000, respectively. As of December 31, 1999 and 1998, the liabilities
related to the salary continuation and fee continuation plans included in
the accompanying consolidated balance sheets totaled approximately
$761,000 and $546,000, respectively. The amount of expense charged to
operations in 1999, 1998 and 1997 for the salary continuation and fee
continuation plans was approximately $215,000, $214,000 and $147,000,
respectively. For financial reporting purposes, such expense amounts have
not been adjusted for income

earned on the life insurance policies. The net amount of income earned
(net of related policy load charges, mortality costs and surrender
charges incurred) on the life insurance policies which was included in
other noninterest income in 1999, 1998 and 1997 was approximately
$246,000, $196,000 and $123,000, respectively.
14. STOCK OPTION PLAN
Under the Company's Stock Option Plan, it may grant Incentive Stock
Options (ISOs) and Non-qualified Stock Options (NSOs) to key employees.
The option price of ISOs is the fair market value at the date of grant,
and the option price of NSOs is to be at a price not less than 85% of the
fair market value at the date of grant. Generally, options become
exercisable in varying amounts based on years of employee service,
commencing one year from the date of grant. All options expire after a
period of ten years.
SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," (SFAS 123)
requires companies, such as Bancorp, that use the intrinsic value method
to account for employee stock options to provide pro forma disclosures of
the net income and earnings per share effect of applying the fair
value-based method of accounting for stock options. The effect of
applying the fair value-based method to stock options granted in the
years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997 resulted in an estimated
weighted-average grant date fair value of $5.34, $5.72 and $2.32,
respectively. Had compensation cost been determined based on the fair
value of the options at the date of grant, the Company's pro forma net
income, pro forma basic earnings per common share and pro forma diluted
earnings per common share would have been as follows:
1999 1998 1997
----------- ----------- -----------
Net income As reported $ 6,238,461 $ 5,766,040 $ 5,041,141
Pro forma 6,072,449 5,553,108 4,905,554
Basic earnings per common share As reported $ .91 $ .84 $ .72
Pro forma .89 .81 .70
Diluted earnings per common share As reported $ .89 $ .82 $ .70
Pro forma .86 .79 .68
The Company used the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the
following weighted-average assumptions to value options granted:
1999 1998 1997
-------------- ------------- --------------
Dividend yield 2.0% 1.6% 1.6%
Expected volatility 33.3% 36.3% 35.8%
Risk-free interest rate 6.3% 4.6% 5.8%
Expected option lives 5 years 5 years 5 years
Because SFAS 123 is applicable only to options granted subsequent to
December 31, 1994, the proforma effects for 1999, 1998 and 1997 may not
be representative of the effects on reported results in future years.
48
14. STOCK OPTION PLAN (CONTINUED)
At December 31, 1999, 209,965 shares reserved under the Stock Option Plan
were available for future grant. Activity related to the Stock Option
Plan for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997 was as follows:

15. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Bank leases certain land and facilities under operating leases, some
of which include renewal options and escalation clauses. At December 31,
1999, the aggregate minimum rental commitments under operating leases
that have initial or remaining noncancelable lease terms in excess of one
year were approximately as follows:
2000 $ 443,000
2001 452,000
2002 438,000
2003 424,000
2004 437,000
Thereafter 4,545,000
---------
Total minimum payments $ 6,739,000
===========
Total rental expense was approximately $426,000, $286,000 and $236,000 in
1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
In the ordinary course of business, the Bank becomes involved in various
litigation arising from normal banking activities. In the opinion of
management, the ultimate disposition of these actions will not have a
material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position
or results of operations at December 31, 1999.
16. ESTIMATED FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The following disclosures are made in accordance with the provisions of
SFAS No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments"
(SFAS 107), which requires the disclosure of fair value information about
financial instruments where it is practicable to estimate that value.
In cases where quoted market values are not available, the Company
primarily uses present value techniques to estimate the fair values of
its financial instruments. Valuation methods require considerable
judgment, and the resulting estimates of fair value can be significantly
affected by the assumptions made and methods used. Accordingly, the
estimates provided herein do not necessarily indicate amounts which could
be realized in a current market exchange.
In addition, as the Company normally intends to hold the majority of its
financial instruments until maturity, it does not expect to realize many
of the estimated amounts disclosed. The disclosures also do not include
estimated fair value amounts for items which are not defined as financial
instruments but which have significant value. These include such
off-balance sheet items as core deposit intangibles and non-capitalized
mortgage loan servicing rights. The Company does not believe that it
would be practicable to estimate a representational fair value for these
types of items as of December 31, 1999 and 1998.
Because SFAS 107 excludes certain financial instruments and all
nonfinancial instruments from its disclosure requirements, any
aggregation of the fair value amounts presented would not represent the
underlying value of the Company.
50
16. ESTIMATED FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)
The Company used the following methods and assumptions to estimate the
fair value of its financial instruments:
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS: The carrying amount approximates the
estimated fair value of these instruments.
INVESTMENT SECURITIES: The market value of investment securities,
which is based on quoted market values or the market values for
comparable securities, represents estimated fair value.
LOANS: The estimated fair value of loans is calculated by discounting
the contractual cash flows of the loans using December 31, 1999 and
1998 origination rates. The resulting amounts are adjusted to
estimate the effect of changes in the credit quality of borrowers
since the loans were originated.
DEPOSITS: The estimated fair value of demand deposits, consisting of
checking, savings and certain interest bearing demand deposit
accounts, is represented by the amounts payable on demand. The
estimated fair value of certificates of deposit is calculated by
discounting the scheduled cash flows using the December 31, 1999 and
1998 rates offered on these instruments.
FEDERAL FUNDS PURCHASED: The carrying amount approximates the
estimated fair value due to the short-term nature of these
borrowings.
FHLB BORROWINGS: The carrying amount approximates the estimated fair
value due to the short-term nature of these borrowings.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS: The estimated fair value of
off-balance sheet financial instruments (primarily commitments to
extend credit) is determined based on fees currently charged for
similar commitments. Management estimates that these fees approximate
$730,000 and $500,000 as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
The estimated fair values of the Company's significant on-balance sheet
financial instruments at December 31, 1999 and 1998 were as follows:

17. REGULATORY MATTERS
The Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital
requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to
meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory - and
possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if
undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company's
consolidated financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and
the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and
the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative
measures of assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as
calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Company and the
Bank's capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative
judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other
factors.
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital
adequacy require the Company and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and
ratios (set forth in the table below) of Tier 1 capital (as defined in
the regulations) to average assets (as defined), and Tier 1 and total
capital (as defined) to risk-weighted assets (as defined). Management
believes that as of December 31, 1999, the Company and the Bank meet or
exceed all relevant capital adequacy requirements.
As of December 31, 1999, the most recent notifications from the Federal
Reserve Bank and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation categorized
the Company and the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory
framework for prompt correction action. To be categorized as well
capitalized, the Company and the Bank must maintain minimum total
risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in
the table. There are no conditions or events since the notifications from
the regulators that management believes would change the Company's or the
Bank's regulatory capital categorization.
The Company's actual and required capital amounts and ratios are
presented in the following table (dollars in thousands):
