Cascade Bancorp & Subsidiary
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2003

(Unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation

     The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Cascade Bancorp (Bancorp), a financial holding company, and its wholly owned subsidiary, Bank of the Cascades (the Bank) (collectively, “the Company”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

     The interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company without audit and in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information. Accordingly, certain financial information and footnotes have been omitted or condensed. In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements include all necessary adjustments (which are of a normal and recurring nature) for the fair presentation of the results of the interim periods presented. In preparing the condensed consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheets and income and expenses for the periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

     The balance sheet data as of December 31, 2002 was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures contained in the Company’s 2002 Annual Report to Shareholders.

     The interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the December 31, 2002 consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, included in the Company’s 2002 Annual Report to Shareholders.

     Certain amounts for 2002 have been reclassified to conform with the 2003 presentation.

     All issued and outstanding shares, weighted average shares and per share amounts in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been retroactively adjusted to reflect stock dividends and splits.

2. Stock-Based Compensation

     The Company accounts for its stock option plans under the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock issued to Employees”, and related Interpretations (See Note 8). No stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in net income, as all options granted under the plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The following table illustrates the effects on net income and earnings per common share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation” to stock-based employee compensation for the six months and three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002:

5. Non-Performing Assets

     Risk of nonpayment exists with respect to all loans, which could result in the classification of such loans as non-performing. The following table presents information with respect to non-performing assets at June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002:


  Six months ended
June 30,

 
  2003
  2002
 
      Loans on non-accrual status     $ 1,463,538   $ 970,348  
      Loans past due 90 days or more    
            but not on non-accrual status           203,108  
      Other real estate owned       147,892     331,485  
 
 
 
      Total non-performing assets     $ 1,611,430   $ 1,504,941  
 
 
 
 
      Percentage of non-performing assets    
            to total assets       0.23 %   0.26 %

     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 non-accrual 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 non-accrual 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. Interest income that was reversed and charged against income in 2003 and 2002 was immaterial.

     At June 30, 2003, except as discussed above, there were no potential material problem loans 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.

6. Mortgage Servicing Rights

     At June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, the Bank held servicing rights to mortgage loans with principal balances of approximately $495,472,000 and $453,536,000, respectively. Because these loans are sold to Fannie Mae, a U.S. government sponsored enterprise; they are not included in loan balances in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The sales of these mortgage loans are subject to specific underwriting documentation standards and requirements, which may result in repurchase risk. However, as of June 30, 2003, management is not aware of any material mortgage loans that will be repurchased.

     Other assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002 include approximately $3,973,000 and $4,071,000, respectively, of capitalized mortgage servicing rights (MSRs) accounted for at the lower of origination value less accumulated amortization, or current fair value.

     The fair value of MSRs was approximately $4,091,000 and $4,416,000 at June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

7. 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 the incremental shares arising from the dilutive effect of unexercised “in the money” stock options.

     The numerators and denominators used in computing basic and diluted earnings per common share for the six months and three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 can be reconciled as follows:


  Six months ended

8. Adoption of New Accounting Standards

     In December 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure.” SFAS No. 148 amends SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” to provide alternative methods of transition for an entity that voluntarily changes to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. It also amends the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123 to require prominent disclosure about the effects on reported net income of an entity’s accounting policy decisions with respect to stock-based employee compensation. In addition, SFAS No. 148 amends Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 28, “Interim Financial Reporting,” to require disclosure about those effects in interim financial information. As of June 30, 2003, the Company had not implemented the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based compensation under SFAS No. 148 or decided whether it would implement this method in the future. However, the related disclosures of SFAS No. 148 are included within the accompanying notes, as applicable.

     In November 2002, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 45 (FIN 45), “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others.” This interpretation expands the disclosures to be made by a guarantor in its financial statements about its obligations under certain guarantees and requires the guarantor to recognize a liability for the fair value of an obligation assumed under a guarantee. Certain guarantees are subject to the disclosure requirements of FIN 45 but not to the recognition provisions. Such guarantees include, among others, a guarantee accounted for as a derivative instrument under SFAS No. 133, a parent’s guarantee of debt owed to a third party by its subsidiary or vice versa, and a guarantee which is based on performance, not price. The disclosure requirements of FIN 45 are effective for the Company as of December 31, 2002, and require disclosure of the nature of the guarantee, the maximum potential amount of future payments that the guarantor could be required to make under the guarantee, and the current amount of the liability, if any, for the guarantor’s obligations under the guarantee. The recognition requirements of FIN 45 are to be applied prospectively to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. The effect of adopting FIN 45 did not have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

10


     In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46, (FIN46), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities”. FIN 46 provides accounting requirements for business enterprises to consolidate related entities in which they are determined to be the primary beneficiary as a result of their variable economic interests. The interpretation provides guidance in judging multiple economic interests in an entity and in determining the primary beneficiary. The interpretation outlines disclosure requirements for variable interest entities (“VIEs”) in existence prior to January 31, 2003, and provides consolidation requirements for VIEs created after January 31, 2003. The effect of adopting FIN 46 did not have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

     In April 2003, the FASB issued Statement No. 149, Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. This Statement amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts (collectively referred to as derivatives) and for hedging activities under FASB Statement No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. This statement is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003 and is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements or results of operations.

     In May 2003, the FASB issued Statement No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity. This Statement establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances). Many of those instruments were previously classified as equity. This Statement is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003, except for mandatory redeemable financial instruments of nonpublic companies. The effect of adopting SFAS No. 150 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements or results of operations.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto as of June 30, 2003 and the operating results for the six and three months then ended, included elsewhere in this report.

Cautionary Information Concerning Forward-Looking Statements

     The following section contains forward-looking statements which are not historical facts and pertain to our future operating results. These statements include, but are not limited to, our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions and are not statements of historical fact. When used in this report, 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, changes in interest rates including timing or relative degree of change, and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control. In addition, these forward-looking statements are subject to assumptions with respect to future business conditions, strategies and decisions, and such assumptions are subject to change.

     Results may differ materially from the results discussed due to changes in business and economic conditions that negatively affect credit quality, which may be exacerbated by our concentration of operations in the areas of Central Oregon, Salem/Keizer and Medford, Oregon. Likewise, competition or changes in interest rates could negatively affect the net interest margin, as could 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.

Critical Accounting Policies

     Critical accounting policies are defined as those that are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties, and could potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. We believe that our most critical accounting policy upon which our financial condition depends, and which involve the most complex or subjective decisions or assessments is as follows:

     Reserve for Loan Losses: Arriving at an appropriate level of reserve for loan losses involves a high degree of judgment. The Company’s reserve for loan losses provides for probable losses based upon evaluations of known and inherent risks in the loan portfolio. To estimate and assess the adequacy of the reserve for loan losses, management analyzes historical loss information and evaluates how the prevailing economic environment could impact the adequacy of the reserve. However, such analysis may be inexact, and changing economic circumstances could have an unforeseen impact on the estimate. The reserve for loan losses is increased by provisions for loan losses and by recoveries of loans previously charged-off and reduced by loans charged-off. For a full discussion of the Company’s methodology of assessing the adequacy of the reserve for loan losses, see the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10K.

HIGHLIGHTS FOR THE QUARTER:

     The Company continued strong second quarter 2003 growth and profitability, highlighted by robust deposit growth and solid increase in loan volumes. Net loans at June 30, 2003 were at $541.1 million, up 17.8% compared to the year ago level. Deposits surged to $597.1 million at quarter end, up 32.0% compared to a year ago and up 18.9% since year end 2002. At June 30, 2003, 97.1% of deposits were “core” in nature (demand, interest bearing demand, savings and time deposits less than $100,000).

     Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 increased 27.4% to approximately $3,623,000, or $.28 diluted earnings per common share, as compared to net income of approximately $2,843,000, or $.22 diluted earnings per common share, for the same period in 2002. For the six months ended June 30, 2003, net income was up 28.2% to approximately $6,855,000 or $.53 diluted net income per common share, up from net income of approximately 5,349,000, or $.42 diluted net income per common share, for the same period in 2002. Stronger earnings during the periods were primarily due to higher net interest income resulting from growth in the Company’s loan portfolio. In addition, net income benefited from a lower provision for loan losses during the six months and three months ended June 30, 2003. The provision was $1,400,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2003 compared to $1,830,000 for the year earlier period and was $700,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 compared to $900,000 for the same quarter the prior year. The reduced provision reflects a continued sound credit quality profile, lower delinquent loans, reduced net loan charge-offs and stable non-performing assets. Based upon its ongoing analytic and evaluative assessment, management believes the current level of the loan loss reserve is appropriate.

12


     Noninterest income was up 27.5% for the six months and up 37.4% in the first quarter of 2003 as compared to the same periods in 2002. These increases were primarily due to increases in service charge income and strong revenues associated with the origination and sale of residential mortgage loans. Service charge income increased 39.6% and 44.5% for the six months and quarter ended June 30, 2003, respectively, compared to the year ago periods primarily due to higher transaction activity levels, pricing and product line enhancements and customer growth. Net mortgage revenue increased approximately 13.4% for the six months and 24.3% for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 compared to the year ago periods.

     As part of its long-term objective to deliver superior long-term growth in earnings per share, the Company expects to open several new banking offices over the net several quarters. On July 7th, the Company enhanced its current network of three Salem, Oregon branches with the opening of a new West Salem branch. In addition, the Company opened its first branch in Medford, Oregon on July 14, 2003, initiating its expansion into Southern Oregon. The aggregate start-up costs of these investments are expected to reduce earnings per share by approximately $.01 to $.02 per share in each of the next several quarters. Management forecasts that this initial affect on earnings will moderate as loan and deposit volumes build, and that these locations will reach the breakeven point within two years. Plans also call for the opening of a new branch in the Old Mill district of Bend early in 2004, as well as one to two additional branch openings during that year.

     In addition, on July 31, 2003, the Company announced an agreement to acquire Community Bank of Grants Pass (CBGP), a community bank headquartered in Grants Pass, Oregon with approximately $50 million in assets. The transaction will jump-start the Company’s recently announced expansion into Southern Oregon. CBGP shareholders will receive one share of CACB stock for each share of CBGP stock. At CACB’s recent stock price of $18, the value of the transaction is approximately $11.9 million, about 2.3 times book value or 17.6 times the last twelve months earnings reported by CBGP. The Company anticipates the acquisition will be accretive to shareholders within the first full year of operations. The combination is subject to due diligence, regulatory and CBGP shareholder approval.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS – Six months and Three months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002

Net Interest Income

     Net interest income increased 12.6% for the six months and increased 11.2% for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 as compared to the same periods in 2002, as interest earned on higher loan volumes outweighed the effect of a lower net interest margin. The net interest margin (NIM) was 6.36% for the second quarter ended June 30, 2003, compared to the year ago margin of 6.89%, and the preceding quarter’s margin of 6.52%. The ongoing low interest rate climate continues to cause declining loan yields that compress against an already low cost of funds. During the second quarter of 2003, yields earned on loans and investments stood at 7.06% compared to 7.26% in the prior quarter, down from 7.90% a year earlier. Meanwhile the average cost of funds for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 was relatively stable at 0.73% versus 0.77% in the first quarter and 1.04% a year ago.

     The net interest margin is a key indicator of profitability in the banking industry, reflecting the difference between rates earned on loans and investments compared to the cost of funds supporting these assets. As market interest rates have declined over the past several years, the banking industry in general has experienced margin compression, as banks have seen lower loan yields on both new and refinanced loans. At the same time, funding costs are already at low levels. With the Federal Reserve recently lowering federal funds rate to 1.00% in June 2003 – a level not seen since the 1950s – management forecasts that by year end 2003 the net interest margin may moderate toward a range between 6.20% and 6.00%. Forecasting the net interest margin is difficult, as unforeseen changes can occur in interest rates, the economy, or shape of the yield curve. In addition, customer and competitor behavior are difficult to predict and can affect yields on loans and rates on deposits. Please see the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10K for further information on interest rate risk.

     As a result of higher loan volume, total interest income increased approximately $1,566,800 (or 8.5%) for the six months and increased approximately $711,900 (or 7.6%) for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 as compared to the same periods in 2002. Total interest expense decreased approximately $449,300 (or 18.3%) for the six months and decreased approximately $207,000 (or 17.1%) for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 as compared to the same periods in 2002. All categories of interest expense have decreased over the periods presented, with the exception of borrowings expense which increased for both periods presented primarily due to the interest expense incurred on $14 million fixed rate FHLB term advances, which is included in borrowings at period end.

Loan Loss Provision

     At June 30, 2003, the reserve for loan losses was 1.53% of total loans, same as year end 2002 and down from 1.58% at June 30, 2002. The loan loss provision was $700,000 in the second quarter of 2003 compared to $900,000 for the comparable period in 2002. This reduction in provision was the result of the Company’s ongoing analytic and evaluative assessment of the adequacy of the loan loss reserve. This assessment reflects a continued sound credit quality profile, lower delinquent loans, reduced net loan charge-offs and stable non-performing assets. Management believes that its reserve for loan losses is at an appropriate level under current circumstances and prevailing economic conditions.

Noninterest Income

     Noninterest income increased 27.5% for the six months, and was up a strong 37.4% for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 as compared to the same periods in 2002. These increases were due to continued growth in service fee income as well as high volumes and revenues in our residential mortgage operations. The Company originated a near-record $79.4 million in residential mortgages for our customers during the quarter ended June 30, 2003. This compares to $41.5 million for the year ago quarter and $82.6 million for the immediately preceding quarter. Net revenue generated from mortgage operations for the six months ended June 30, 2003 was $1,681,000 compared to $1,482,000 for the same period of 2002. Net revenue generated from mortgage operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 was $859,000 compared to $691,000 in the year-ago quarter. Net mortgage revenue includes origination fees, gains on sale of mortgage loans and servicing income, net of amortization of servicing rights and valuation adjustments. In this regard, the second quarter of 2003 included a Mortgage Servicing Rights (MSR) valuation adjustment charge of $175,000 (pretax), while the immediately preceding quarter charge was $350,000 (pretax). A valuation charge is recorded when the estimated fair (market) value of MSR falls below its book value, an event that occurs primarily due to fluctuations in national market mortgage interest rates. Including this MSR valuation charge, the carrying value of the MSR at June 30, 2003 is 0.80% of serviced loans compared to 0.97% a year ago.

     The Company’s overall mortgage revenues have grown as a percent of total Company revenues over the past several years. In part, this trend is related to the low mortgage interest rates that have sustained a refinance boom over this period. For example in 2001, the Company’s mortgage revenue averaged approximately 4% of total Company revenue. Net mortgage revenue increased to 7% of revenues during the second quarter of 2003. Management anticipates that when mortgage interest rates eventually increase from today’s historic lows, it is likely that the relatively high mortgage revenue contribution experienced of late will ease back to a more normal share of revenues. In the meantime, strong revenues from mortgage operation have buffered the impact that lower interest rates have on the net interest margin.

Noninterest Expense

     Noninterest expense increased 13.6% for the six months and 14.9% for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 as compared to the same periods in 2002. These increases in expense are primarily human resource related to meet growing business volumes, along with incentive-based bonuses and variable mortgage commissions that are directly tied to the increasing profitability of the Company. The Company believes that its high-touch service and high-caliber employees are a cost-effective competitive advantage.

Income Taxes

     Income tax expense increased between the periods presented primarily as a result of higher pre-tax income. The Company’s combined Federal and State effective income tax rate for the second quarter of 2003 was 38.8% compared to 39.0% for same quarter in 2002.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

     Assets continued to increase in the second quarter of 2003 with total assets increasing 18.6% to $685.7 million at June 30, 2003 compared to $578.4 million at December 31, 2002. This increase was primarily due to a jump in federal funds sold and solid increases in loan volumes. Federal funds sold increased due to robust deposit growth at quarter end. Net loans outstanding increased 10.1% to $541.1 million at June 30, 2003 as compared to $491.5 million at December 31, 2002. This growth was primarily concentrated in the commercial loan, construction/lot and commercial real estate loan portfolios, up $16.3 million, $19.7 million and $11.6 million, respectively, consistent with the nature of economic growth in the markets served by the Company. The investment portfolio increased slightly to $29.2 million from $28.6 million at year end 2002.

     This asset growth was primarily funded by the increased deposits, with deposits increasing 18.9% to $597.1 million at June 30, 2003 compared to $502.0 million at December 31, 2002. A portion of the deposit increase was attributable to several large customer funds deposited on a temporary basis with the Bank over the quarter end. The majority of the growth was in interest bearing demand deposits.

     The Company had no material off balance sheet derivative financial instruments as of June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002.

LIQUIDITY AND SOURCES OF FUNDS

     It is the Company’s liquidity goal to have sufficient available funds to meet depositor withdrawals as well as to fund borrowing needs of its 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 counterparties. The Bank may pledge its portfolio of investment securities and certain real estate and business loans to provide collateral to support its borrowing needs.

     The Bank’s primary counterparty for borrowing purposes is the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB). At June 30, 2003 the FHLB had extended the Bank a secured line of credit of $89.3 million that may be accessed for short or long-term borrowings given sufficient qualifying collateral. The Bank also had $28.7 million in short term borrowing availability from the Federal Reserve System that requires specific qualifying collateral. In addition, the Bank maintained unsecured lines of credit totaling $24.0 million for the purchase of funds on a short-term basis from several commercial bank counterparties. At June 30, 2003 the Bank had aggregate remaining available borrowing sources totaling $130.3 million, given sufficient collateral.

     Consistent with the year earlier period, at June 30, 2003 the Bank had approximately $170.7 million in outstanding commitments to extend credit. Based on historical experience, management anticipates that a significant portion of the commitments will expire or terminate without funding. Approximately 1/3 of total commitments pertain to various construction projects. Under the terms of such construction commitments and the Company’s loan policies, completion of specified project benchmarks are to be certified by borrower and builder and approved by the Company 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.

Borrowings

     At June 30, 2003 the Bank had a total of approximately $11.7 million in short-term borrowings bearing a weighted-average interest rate of 0.728% and $14.0 million in long-term borrowings from FHLB with maturities ranging from 2005 to 2013, bearing a weighted-average interest rate of 3.17%. At December 31, 2002, the Bank had a total of $18.0 million in long-term borrowings from FHLB bearing a weighted-average interest rate of 2.98%. See “Liquidity and Sources of Funds” section above for further discussion.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Company’s total stockholders’ equity at June 30, 2003 was $56.5 million, an increase of $5.3 million from December 31, 2002. The increase was the net result of earnings of $6.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003, less cash dividends to shareholders of $2.0 million during the same period. In addition, at June 30, 2003 the Company had accumulated other comprehensive income of approximately $.9 million.

     At June 30, 2003, the Company’s Tier 1 and total risked-based capital ratios under the Federal Reserve Board’s (“FRB”) risk-based capital guidelines were 9.66% and 10.98%, respectively. The FRB’s minimum risk-based capital ratio guidelines for Tier 1 and total capital are 4% and 8%, respectively.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

     Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and rates. The Company’s market risk arises principally from interest rate risk in its lending, deposit and borrowing activities. Management actively monitors and manages its interest rate risk exposure. Management considers interest rate risk to be a significant market risk, which could have the largest material effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

     There has not been any material change in the market risk disclosure contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002.
