PART I
Forward-Looking Information Statement
      This report contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. EvergreenBancorp, Inc. (“Bancorp”) intends such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and is including this statement for purposes of these safe harbor provisions. Forward-looking statements, which are based on certain assumptions and describe future plans, strategies, and expectations of the Company, are generally identifiable by use of the words “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “project,” or similar expressions. The Company’s ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Important factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from the Company’s expectation include, but are not limited to: fluctuation in interest rates and loan and deposit pricing, which could reduce the Company’s net interest margins, asset valuations, and expense expectations; a deterioration in the economy or business conditions, either nationally or in the Company’s market areas, that could increase credit-related losses and expenses; a national or local disaster, including acts of terrorism; challenges the Company may experience in retaining or replacing key executives or employees in an effective manner; increases in defaults by borrowers and other loan delinquencies resulting in increases in the Company’s provision for loan losses and related expenses; higher than anticipated costs related to business combinations and the integration of acquired businesses which may be more difficult or expensive than expected, or slower than expected earning assets growth which could extend anticipated breakeven periods relating to such strategic expansion; significant increases in competition; legislative or regulatory changes applicable to bank holding companies or the Company’s banking or other subsidiaries; and possible changes in tax rates, tax laws, or tax law interpretation. These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements.
Item 1. Business
EvergreenBancorp, Inc.
      EvergreenBancorp, Inc. is a bank holding company organized under the laws of the State of Washington. Bancorp was formed in 2001 pursuant to the reorganization of EvergreenBank (“the Bank”), whereby the Bank became a wholly owned subsidiary of Bancorp. This tax-free reorganization resulted in a share-for-share exchange of stock whereby stockholders of the Bank became stockholders of Bancorp. The bank holding company structure provides flexibility for financing and growth, as well as for acquiring or establishing other banking operations or businesses related to banking. In May 2002, Bancorp formed EvergreenBancorp Capital Trust I (“the Trust”) to raise capital through a trust preferred securities offering. Prior to 2003, the Trust was consolidated in the Company’s financial statements. Under current accounting guidance, the Trust is no longer consolidated with the Company. Bancorp and Bank are collectively referred to herein as “the Company.” The terms “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Bancorp, Bank or Trust where applicable. Additional information regarding the Trust can be found in Note 8, “Borrowings and Junior Subordinated Debt” to the notes to the consolidated financial statements.
      The Company remains committed to community banking and intends to remain community-focused. In 2005, the Bank continued to conduct its banking business in substantially the same manner as in prior years. The Company continues to look for possible acquisition opportunities that can offer both compatibility of business operations and enhanced shareholder value. The Board’s philosophies and overall structure remain unchanged.
      The Company’s consolidated net income for 2005 was $966,000, or $0.48 per basic share ($0.47 per diluted share), and its consolidated equity at December 31, 2005 was $17,736,000, with 2,000,467 common shares outstanding and a book value of $8.87 per share. At December 31, 2005, the Company had total consolidated assets of approximately $249,192,000, loans of approximately $189,188,000, and deposits of approximately $199,890,000.

EvergreenBank
      EvergreenBank is a Washington chartered commercial bank organized in 1971 under the name Teachers State Bank with its main office at 301 Eastlake Avenue East in Seattle (“Eastlake” office). Since 1993, the Bank has opened five additional offices located in Lynnwood, Bellevue, Federal Way, and Seattle. Over the years, the Bank has changed its business focus. In the late seventies, regulatory changes that allowed credit unions to issue drafts against their members’ share accounts created an opportunity for the Bank. In 1977, the Bank began marketing a share draft system that could process credit union’s share drafts for the Federal Reserve System. To reflect the Bank’s growing interest in consumer and commercial markets, and to clarify for potential customers that the Bank’s products and services were not limited to “teachers,” in 1980, its name was changed to “EvergreenBank.” In early 2000, because of narrowing profit margins and increased competition in the check clearing business, the Bank withdrew from that business and management began to restructure the Bank’s balance sheet and focus primarily on its business in consumer and commercial lending and deposits. The Bank now focuses on general commercial banking business, offering commercial banking services to small and medium-sized businesses, professionals, and retail customers in its market area.
Market
      The Bank’s primary market area consists of King, Pierce, and Snohomish counties in western Washington. The Bank began its operations in 1971 from its Eastlake office location in Seattle and has since expanded its market with the addition of five offices since 1993 within a 25-mile radius of Seattle.
      Deposit accounts include certificates of deposit, individual retirement accounts and other time deposits, checking and other demand deposit accounts, interest-bearing checking accounts, savings accounts, health savings accounts, and money market accounts. Loans include commercial, real estate construction and development, installment and consumer loans, and residential real estate. Other products and services include merchant credit card processing, financial planning and investment services, cash management services, electronic funds transfers, electronic tax payment, and safe deposit boxes. The Bank also offers 24-hour telephone banking, an ATM network, as well as Internet banking and bill paying services.
Competition
      Commercial banking in the state of Washington is highly competitive with respect to providing banking services, including making loans and attracting deposits. The Bank competes with other banks, as well as with savings and loan associations, savings banks, credit unions, mortgage companies, investment banks, insurance companies, securities brokerages, and other financial institutions. Banking in Washington is dominated by several large banking institutions, including U.S. Bank, Wells Fargo Bank, Key Bank, Bank of America, and Washington Mutual Bank, which together account for over 60 percent of the total commercial and savings bank deposits in Washington. These competitors have significantly greater financial resources and offer a greater number of branch locations (with statewide branch networks), higher lending limits, and a variety of services not offered by the Bank. In addition, the Bank has experienced competition for both deposits and loans from “non-bank” financial service providers, such as brokerage firms, captive automobile financing and equipment leasing companies.
      The adoption of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 (“the Financial Services Modernization Act”) in November 1999 has led to further intensification of competition in the banking industry. The Financial Services Modernization Act has eliminated many of the barriers to affiliation among providers of various types of financial services and has permitted business combinations among financial providers such as banks, insurance companies, securities or brokerage firms, and other financial service providers. This has led to increased competition in both the market for providing financial services and in the market for acquisitions in which Bancorp also participates.

Table of Contents

      In general, the financial services industry has experienced widespread consolidation in recent years. The Company anticipates that consolidation among financial institutions in its market area will continue. Other financial institutions, many with substantially greater resources, compete in the acquisition market against the Company. Some of these institutions, among other items, have greater access to capital markets, larger cash reserves, and a more liquid currency than the Company. Additionally, the rapid adoption of financial services through the Internet has reduced the barrier to entry by financial services providers physically located outside our market area. Although the Company has been able to compete effectively in the financial services business in its markets to date, there can be no assurance that it will be able to continue to do so in the future.
Employees
      On December 31, 2005, the Bank employed 64 full-time employees and 2 part-time employees. Employees are not represented by any collective bargaining agreement. Management considers its relations with employees to be good.
EvergreenBancorp Capital Trust I
      On May 23, 2002, Bancorp completed an issuance of $5 million in trust preferred securities through a newly formed special purpose business trust, EvergreenBancorp Capital Trust I. The securities were sold in a private placement pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
      Under the terms of the transaction, the trust preferred securities have a maturity of 30 years and the holders are entitled to receive cumulative cash distributions on a quarterly basis at a variable annual rate, reset quarterly, equal to the three month LIBOR plus 3.50 percent. The securities are not redeemable until 2007 except in the event of certain special redemption events. Most of the proceeds from the sale of the securities were contributed to the Bank as Tier 1 capital to support lending and other operations.
SUPERVISION AND REGULATION
General
      We are extensively regulated under federal and state law. These laws and regulations are primarily intended to protect depositors, not shareholders. The discussion below describes and summarizes certain statutes and regulations. These descriptions and summaries are qualified in their entirety by reference to the particular statute or regulation. Changes in applicable laws or regulations may have a material effect on our business and prospects. Our operations may also be affected by changes in the policies of banking and other government regulators. We cannot accurately predict the nature or extent of the possible future effects on our business and earnings of changes in fiscal or monetary policies, or new federal or state laws and regulations.
Federal Bank Holding Company Regulation
      General. The Company is a bank holding company as defined in the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, and is therefore subject to regulation, supervision, and examination by the Federal Reserve. In general, the Bank Holding Company Act limits the business of bank holding companies to owning or controlling banks and engaging in other activities closely related to banking. The Company must also file reports with the Federal Reserve and must provide it with such additional information as it may require. Under the Financial Services Modernization Act of 1999, a bank holding company may apply to the Federal Reserve to become a financial holding company, and thereby engage (directly or through a subsidiary) in certain expanded activities deemed financial in nature, such as securities brokerage and insurance underwriting.
      Holding Company Bank Ownership. The Bank Holding Company Act requires every bank holding company to obtain the prior approval of the Federal Reserve 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

5


Table of Contents

would own or control more than 5% 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.
      Holding Company Control of Nonbanks. With some exceptions, the Bank Holding Company 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 Federal Reserve regulation or order, have been identified as activities closely related to the business of banking or of managing or controlling banks.
      Transactions with Affiliates. Subsidiary banks of a bank holding company are subject to restrictions imposed by the Federal Reserve Act on extensions of credit to the holding company or its subsidiaries, on investments in their securities, and on the use of their securities as collateral for loans to any borrower. These regulations and restrictions may limit the Company’s ability to obtain funds from the Bank for its cash needs, including funds for payment of dividends, interest, and operational expenses.
      Tying Arrangements. We are prohibited from engaging in certain tie-in arrangements in connection with any extension of credit, sale or lease of property, or furnishing of services. For example, with certain exceptions, neither the Company nor the Bank may condition an extension of credit to a customer on either (1) a requirement that the customer obtain additional services provided by us or (2) an agreement by the customer to refrain from obtaining other services from a competitor.
      Support of Subsidiary Banks. Under Federal Reserve policy, the Company is expected to act as a source of financial and managerial strength to the Bank. This means that the Company is required to commit, as necessary, resources to support the Bank. Any capital loans a bank holding company makes to its subsidiary banks are subordinate to deposits and to certain other indebtedness of those subsidiary banks.
      State Law Restrictions. As a Washington corporation, the Company is subject to certain limitations and restrictions under applicable Washington corporate law. For example, state law restrictions in Washington include limitations and restrictions relating to indemnification of directors, distributions to shareholders, transactions involving directors, officers, or interested shareholders, maintenance of books, records, and minutes, and observance of certain corporate formalities.
Federal and State Regulation of EvergreenBank
      General. The Bank is a Washington chartered commercial bank with deposits insured by the FDIC. As a result, the Bank is subject to supervision and regulation by the Washington State Department of Financial Institutions, Division of Banks and the FDIC. These agencies have the authority to prohibit banks from engaging in what they believe constitute unsafe or unsound banking practices.
      Community Reinvestment. The Community Reinvestment Act requires that, in connection with examinations of financial institutions within their jurisdiction, the Federal Reserve or the FDIC evaluate the record of the financial institution in meeting the credit needs of its local communities, including low and moderate income neighborhoods, consistent with the safe and sound operation of the institution. These factors are also considered in evaluating mergers, acquisitions, and applications to open a branch or facility.
      Insider Credit Transactions. Banks are also subject to certain restrictions imposed by the Federal Reserve Act on extensions of credit to executive officers, directors, principal shareholders, or any related interests of such persons. Extensions of credit (1) must be made on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral as, and follow credit underwriting procedures that are not less stringent than, those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with persons not covered above, and (2) must not involve more than the normal risk of repayment or present other unfavorable features. Banks are also subject to certain lending limits and restrictions on overdrafts to insiders. A violation of these restrictions may result in the assessment of substantial civil monetary penalties, the imposition of a cease and desist order, and other regulatory sanctions.

Table of Contents

      Regulation of Management. Federal law (1) sets forth circumstances under which officers or directors of a bank may be removed by the institution’s federal supervisory agency; (2) places restraints on lending by a bank to its executive officers, directors, principal shareholders, and their related interests; and (3) prohibits management personnel of a bank from serving as a director or in a management position of another financial institution whose assets exceed a specified amount or which has an office within a specified geographic area.
      Safety and Soundness Standards. Federal law imposes upon banks certain non-capital safety and soundness standards. These standards cover, among other things, internal controls, information systems, internal audit systems, loan documentation, credit underwriting, interest rate exposure, asset growth, compensation, and benefits. Additional standards apply to asset quality, earnings, and stock valuation. An institution that fails to meet these standards must develop a plan acceptable to its regulators, 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.
Interstate Banking and Branching
      The Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994 (“Interstate Act”) permits nationwide interstate banking and branching under certain circumstances. This legislation generally authorizes interstate branching and relaxes federal law restrictions on interstate banking. Currently, bank holding companies may purchase banks in any state, and states may not prohibit these purchases. Additionally, banks are permitted to merge with banks in other states, as long as the home state of neither merging bank has opted out under the legislation. The Interstate Act requires regulators to consult with community organizations before permitting an interstate institution to close a branch in a low-income area.
      FDIC regulations prohibit banks from using their interstate branches primarily for deposit production. The FDIC has implemented a loan-to-deposit ratio screen to ensure compliance with this prohibition.
      Washington enacted “opting in” legislation in accordance with the Interstate Act, allowing banks to engage in interstate merger transactions, subject to certain “aging” requirements. Until recently, Washington restricted out-of-state banks from opening de novo branches, however, in 2005, Washington interstate branching laws were amended so that an out-of-state bank may, subject to the Director’s approval, open de novo branches in Washington or acquire an in-state branch so long as the home state of the out-of-state bank has reciprocal laws with respect to de novo branching or branch acquisitions. Once an out-of-state bank has acquired a bank within Washington, either through merger or acquisition of all or substantially all of the bank’s assets or through authorized de novo branching, the out-of-state bank may open additional branches within the state.
Deposit Insurance
      The Bank’s deposits are currently insured to a maximum of $100,000 per depositor (in some instances up to $100,000 per deposit account, depending on the ownership category of the account) through the Bank Insurance Fund administered by the FDIC. The Bank is required to pay deposit insurance premiums, which are assessed semiannually and paid quarterly. The premium amount is based upon a risk classification system established by the FDIC. Banks with higher levels of capital and a low degree of supervisory concern are assessed lower premiums than banks with lower levels of capital or a higher degree of supervisory concern. Under the Federal Deposit Insurance Reform Act of 2005, the Bank Insurance Fund will be merged with the Savings Association Insurance Fund into a new Deposit Insurance Fund, and the maximum deposit insurance amounts will be subject to inflation adjustments every five years, commencing April, 2010.
      The FDIC is also empowered to make special assessments on insured depository institutions in amounts determined by the FDIC to be necessary to give it adequate assessment income to repay amounts borrowed from the U.S. Treasury and other sources or for any other purpose the FDIC deems necessary.

Dividends
      The principal source of Bancorp’s cash reserves is dividends received from the Bank. The payment of dividends is subject to government regulation, in that regulatory authorities may prohibit banks and bank holding companies from paying dividends in a manner that would constitute an unsafe or unsound banking practice. In addition, a bank may not pay cash dividends if doing so would reduce the amount of its capital below that necessary to meet minimum applicable regulatory capital requirements. State laws also limit a bank’s ability to pay dividends.
Capital Adequacy
      Regulatory Capital Guidelines. Federal bank regulatory agencies use capital adequacy guidelines in the examination and regulation of bank holding companies and banks. The guidelines are “risk-based,” meaning that they are designed to make capital requirements more sensitive to differences in risk profiles among banks and bank holding companies.
      Tier 1 and Tier 2 Capital. Under the guidelines, an institution’s capital is divided into two broad categories, Tier 1 capital and Tier 2 capital. Tier 1 capital generally consists of common stockholders’ equity, surplus, and undivided profits. Tier 2 capital generally consists of the allowance for loan losses, hybrid capital instruments, and term subordinated debt. The sum of Tier 1 capital and Tier 2 capital represents an institution’s total capital. The guidelines require that at least 50% of an institution’s total capital consist of Tier 1 capital.
      Risk-Based Capital Ratios. The adequacy of an institution’s capital is gauged primarily with reference to the institution’s risk-weighted assets. The guidelines assign risk weightings to an institution’s assets in an effort to quantify the relative risk of each asset and to determine the minimum capital required to support that risk. An institution’s risk-weighted assets are then compared with its Tier 1 capital and total capital to arrive at a Tier 1 risk-based ratio and a total risk-based ratio, respectively. The guidelines provide that an institution must have a minimum Tier 1 risk-based ratio of 4% and a minimum total risk-based ratio of 8%.
      Leverage Ratio. The guidelines also employ a leverage ratio, which is Tier 1 capital as a percentage of total assets, less intangibles. The principal objective of the leverage ratio is to constrain the maximum degree to which a bank holding company may leverage its equity capital base. The minimum leverage ratio is 3%; however, for all but the most highly rated bank holding companies and for bank holding companies seeking to expand, regulators expect an additional cushion of at least 1% to 2%.
      Prompt Corrective Action. Under the guidelines, an institution is assigned to one of 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. The categories range from “well-capitalized” to “critically undercapitalized.” Institutions that are “undercapitalized” or lower are subject to certain mandatory supervisory corrective actions.
Corporate Governance and Accounting Legislation
      Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“the Act”) addresses corporate and accounting fraud. The Act established a new accounting oversight board to enforce auditing standards and restricted the scope of services that accounting firms may provide to their public company audit clients. Among other things, the Act also (i) requires chief executive officers and chief financial officers to certify to the accuracy of periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“the SEC”); (ii) imposes new disclosure requirements regarding internal controls, off-balance-sheet transactions, and pro forma (non-GAAP) disclosures; (iii) accelerates the time frame for reporting of insider transactions and periodic disclosures by public companies; and (iv) requires companies to disclose whether or not they have adopted a code of ethics for senior financial officers and whether the audit committee includes at least one “audit committee financial expert.”
      The Act also requires the SEC, based on certain enumerated factors, to regularly and systematically review corporate filings. To deter wrongdoing, the Act: (i) subjects bonuses issued to top executives to

8


Table of Contents

disgorgement if a restatement of a company’s financial statements was due to corporate misconduct; (ii) prohibits an officer or director from misleading or coercing an auditor; (iii) prohibits insider trades during pension fund “blackout periods;” (iv) imposes new criminal penalties for fraud and other wrongful acts; and (v) extends the period during which certain securities fraud lawsuits can be brought against a company or its officers.
      As a publicly reporting company, we are subject to the requirements of the Act and related rules and regulations issued by the SEC. Currently, the SEC granted an extension to comply with the reporting requirements of Section 404 to 2007. We anticipate that we will incur additional expense, including ongoing compliance with Section 404, as a result of the Act, but we do not expect that such compliance will have a material impact on our business.
Anti-Terrorism Legislation
      USA PATRIOT Act of 2001. The Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (“USA Patriot Act”) is intended to combat terrorism. Among other things, the USA PATRIOT Act (1) prohibits banks from providing correspondent accounts directly to foreign shell banks, (2) imposes due diligence requirements on banks opening or holding accounts for foreign financial institutions or wealthy foreign individuals, (3) requires financial institutions to establish an anti-money-laundering compliance program, and (4) eliminates civil liability for persons who file suspicious activity reports. The Act also increases governmental powers to investigate terrorism, including expanded government access to account records. The Department of the Treasury is empowered to administer and make rules to implement the Act. While we believe the USA PATRIOT Act may, to some degree, affect our recordkeeping and reporting expenses, we do not believe that the Act will have a material adverse effect on our business and operations.
Financial Services Modernization
      Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999. The Financial Services Modernization Act of 1999, also known as the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, brought about significant changes to the laws affecting banks and bank holding companies. Generally, the Act (i) repealed the historical restrictions on preventing banks from affiliating with securities firms; (ii) provided a uniform framework for the activities of banks, savings institutions, and their holding companies; (iii) broadened the activities that may be conducted by national banks and banking subsidiaries of bank holding companies; (iv) provided an enhanced framework for protecting the privacy of consumer information; and (v) addressed a variety of other legal and regulatory issues affecting both day-to-day operations and long-term activities of financial institutions.
      Bank holding companies that qualify and elect to become financial holding companies can engage in a wider variety of financial activities than permitted under previous law, particularly with respect to insurance and securities underwriting activities. In addition, in a change from previous law, bank holding companies will be in a position to be owned, controlled or acquired by any company engaged in financially related activities, so long as the company meets certain regulatory requirements. The act also permits national banks (and, in states with wildcard statutes, certain state banks), either directly or through operating subsidiaries, to engage in certain non-banking financial activities.
      We do not believe that the act will negatively affect our operations in the short term, however, to the extent the legislation permits banks, securities firms, and insurance companies to affiliate, the financial services industry may experience further consolidation. This consolidation could result in a growing number of larger financial institutions that offer a wider variety of financial services than we currently offer, and these companies may be able to aggressively compete in the markets we currently serve.
Effects of Government Monetary Policy
      Our earnings and growth are affected not only by general economic conditions, but also by the fiscal and monetary policies of the federal government, particularly the Federal Reserve. The Federal Reserve can and does implement national monetary policy for such purposes as curbing inflation and combating recession. Its

open market operations in U.S. government securities, control of the discount rate applicable to borrowings from the Federal Reserve, and establishment of reserve requirements against certain deposits influence the growth of bank loans, investments, and deposits, and also affect interest rates charged on loans or paid on deposits. The nature and impact of future changes in monetary policies and their impact on us cannot be predicted with certainty.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
      Our business exposes us to certain risks. The following is a discussion of what management believes are currently the most significant risks and uncertainties that may affect our business, financial condition, and future results.
Fluctuating interest rates can adversely affect our profitability
      Our profitability is dependent to a large extent upon net interest income, which is the difference (or “spread”) between the interest earned on loans, securities, and other interest-earning assets, and interest paid on deposits, borrowings, and other interest-bearing liabilities. Because of the differences in maturities and repricing characteristics of our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, changes in interest rates do not produce equivalent changes in interest income earned on interest-earning assets and interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities. Accordingly, fluctuations in interest rates could adversely affect our interest rate spread, and, in turn, our profitability. We cannot make assurances that we can minimize our interest rate risk. In addition, interest rates also affect the amount of money we can lend. When interest rates rise, the cost of borrowing also increases. Accordingly, changes in levels of market interest rates could materially and adversely affect our net interest spread, asset quality, loan origination volume, business, and prospects. We assess rate risk by various means including analysis of financial data and by modeling the impact of rate changes on financial performance. Current information suggests that the Company is slightly “asset-sensitive,” suggesting that rising interest rates may tend to increase net interest income and improve profits, and that falling interest rates would have the opposite effect. See page 32 for further discussion and analysis of interest rate risk.
Our allowance for loan losses may not be adequate to cover actual loan losses, which could adversely affect our earnings
      We maintain an allowance for loan losses in an amount that we believe is adequate to provide for probable incurred losses in the portfolio. While we strive to carefully monitor credit quality and to identify loans that may become nonperforming, at any time there are loans included in the portfolio that will result in losses, but that have not been identified as nonperforming or potential problem loans. We cannot be sure that we will be able to identify deteriorating loans before they become nonperforming assets, or that we will be able to limit losses on those loans that are identified. As a result, future additions to the allowance may be necessary. Additionally, future additions to the allowance may be required based on changes in the loans comprising the portfolio and changes in the financial condition of borrowers, such as may result from changes in economic conditions, or as a result of incorrect assumptions by management in determining the allowance. Furthermore, federal banking regulators, as an integral part of their supervisory function, periodically review our allowance for loan losses. These regulatory agencies may require us to recognize further loan charge-offs based upon their judgments, which may be different from ours. Any increase in the allowance for loan losses could have a negative effect on our financial condition and results of operation.
Our loan portfolio contains a high percentage of commercial and commercial real estate loans in relation to our total loans and total assets
      Commercial and commercial real estate loans generally are viewed as having more risk of default than residential real estate loans or certain other types of loans or investments. These types of loans also typically are larger than residential real estate loans and other commercial loans. Because the loan portfolio contains a significant number of commercial and commercial real estate loans with relatively large balances, the deterioration of one or a few of these loans may cause a significant increase in nonperforming loans. An increase in nonperforming loans could result in: a loss of earnings from these loans; an increase in the provision

for loan losses; or an increase in loan charge-offs, which could have an adverse impact on our results of operations and financial condition.
An economic downturn in the market area we serve may cause us to have lower earnings and could increase our credit risk associated with our loan portfolio
      The inability of borrowers to repay loans can erode our earnings. Substantially all of our loans are to businesses and individuals in the Seattle, Bellevue, Lynnwood, and Federal Way communities, and any decline in the economy of this market area could impact us adversely. As a lender, we are exposed to the risk that our customers will be unable to repay their loans in accordance with their terms, and that any collateral securing the payment of their loans may not be sufficient to assure repayment.
Competition in our market area may limit our future success
      Commercial banking is a highly competitive business. We compete with other commercial banks, savings and loan associations, credit unions, and finance companies operating in our market area. We are subject to substantial competition for loans and deposits from other financial institutions. Some of our competitors are not subject to the same degree of regulation and restriction as we are. Some of our competitors have greater financial resources than we do. We compete for funds with other financial institutions that, in most cases, are significantly larger and able to provide a greater variety of services than we do and thus may obtain deposits at lower rates of interest. If we are unable to effectively compete in our market area, our business and results of operations could be adversely affected.
There are restrictions on changes in control of the Company that could decrease our shareholders’ chance to realize a premium on their shares
      As a Washington corporation, we are subject to various provisions of the Washington Business Corporation Act that impose restrictions on certain takeover offers and business combinations, such as combinations with interested shareholders and share repurchases from certain shareholders. Provisions in our Articles of Incorporation governing a staggered Board could have the effect of hindering, delaying, or preventing a takeover bid. These provisions may inhibit takeover bids and could decrease the chance of shareholders realizing a premium over market price for their shares as a result of the takeover bid.
Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments
      There were no unresolved staff comments as of December 31, 2005.
Item 2. Properties
      The Bank conducts business from six leased office locations: the Eastlake office at 301 Eastlake Avenue East, northeast of downtown Seattle; the South Lake Union office at 307 Westlake Avenue North, northwest of downtown Seattle; the downtown Seattle office at 1111 Third Avenue, Seattle; the Lynnwood office located at 2502 196th Street Southwest, Lynnwood; the Bellevue office located at 110 110th Avenue Northeast, Bellevue; and the Federal Way office located at 1300 South 320th Street, Federal Way.
      The Company leases premises and parking facilities for the Eastlake and Lynnwood offices from PEMCO Mutual Insurance Company, under leases expiring from March 31, 2006 to March 31, 2007. The Company leases the Federal Way, South Lake Union, Bellevue, and downtown Seattle premises from other parties and those leases expire June 30, 2008, August 31, 2009, May 31, 2011, and April 30, 2015, respectively. See Note 14 “Leases” to the consolidated financial statements.
      Items of furniture, fixtures, and equipment are purchased as needed by the Bank. The Bank is responsible for maintenance, repairs, operating expenses, and insurance.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings
      Bancorp and the Bank from time to time may be parties to various legal actions arising in the normal course of business. Management believes that there is no proceeding threatened or pending against Bancorp or the Bank which, if determined adversely, would have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition or results of operations of the Company.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
      No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders in the fourth quarter of 2005.
PART II
Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters, and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
      Bancorp’s common stock is traded on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol “EVGG.” As of March 13, 2006, there were 618 holders of record of Bancorp’s common stock, and an estimated 343 holders of its stock in “street name” by brokerage firms.
      The table below shows, for the periods indicated, the reported high and low closing sale prices and cash dividends paid (adjusted to reflect the five-for-four stock split in November 2004 and the four-for-three stock split in October 2005).

      Holders of common stock are entitled to receive such dividends as may be declared by the Board of Directors from time to time and paid out of funds legally available. Because the Company’s consolidated net income consists largely of the net income of the Bank, Bancorp’s ability to pay dividends depends upon its receipt of dividends from the Bank. The Bank’s ability to pay dividends is regulated by banking statutes. See “Supervision and Regulation — Dividends” in Part I. The declaration of dividends by Bancorp is discretionary and depends on Bancorp’s earnings and financial condition, regulatory limitations, tax considerations, and other factors. In January 2004, the Board of Directors approved the move to quarterly dividends rather than annual. While the Board of Directors expects to continue to declare dividends, there can be no assurance that dividends will be paid in the future.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
General
      Bancorp is a Washington chartered bank holding company formed in 2001 and headquartered in Seattle, Washington. Bancorp has as its primary business activity ownership of EvergreenBank. The Bank’s principal business is personal and business banking. Services offered include commercial, real estate and consumer lending; savings, checking and certificate of deposit accounts; health savings accounts; financial planning and

Table of Contents

investment services; ATM network; Internet banking; cash management services; and merchant credit card processing services. EvergreenBank operates six offices in Washington located in Seattle, Bellevue, Lynnwood, and Federal Way. The Bank’s newest locations include the South Lake Union office, which opened in November of 2004, and the Third and Seneca office, which opened in downtown Seattle in June of 2005. Generally speaking, new branches have a negative impact on earnings in the short term until they reach a level of assets to support the initial overhead expenses incurred.
      The Bank’s results of operations primarily depend on net interest income, which is the difference between interest income on loans and investments and interest expense on deposits and borrowed funds. The Bank’s operating results are also affected by loan fees, service charges on deposit accounts, net merchant credit card processing fees, gains from sales of loans and investments, and other noninterest income. Operating expenses of the Bank include employee compensation and benefits, occupancy and equipment costs, data processing, professional fees, marketing, state and local taxes, federal deposit insurance premiums, and other administrative expenses.
      The Bank’s results of operations are further affected by economic and competitive conditions, particularly changes in market interest rates. Results are also affected by monetary and fiscal policies of federal agencies, and actions of regulatory authorities.
      The following discussion should be read along with the accompanying financial statements and notes. All share and per-share information in this annual report has been restated to give retroactive effect to all applicable stock splits and dividends paid on the Company’s stock. In the following discussion, unless otherwise noted, references to increases or decreases in balances for a particular period or date refer to the comparison with corresponding amounts for the period or date one year earlier.
Forward-Looking Statements
      In addition to historical information, the following management’s discussion and analysis contains certain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. The Company’s actual results could differ significantly from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors discussed elsewhere in this report, including changes in interest rates, economic conditions, competition, requirements of regulators, and the demand for financial products and services in the Company’s market area. These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements, and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements.
      Further information concerning the Company and its business, including additional factors that could materially affect its financial results, is included in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Reports and additional information, including Company press releases, can be found on the Bancorp’s website at www.EvergreenBancorp.com.
Critical Accounting Policies
      The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make judgments, estimates, and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, including contingent amounts, at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management has identified certain policies as being particularly sensitive in terms of judgments and the extent to which estimates are used. The policies relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, other real estate owned, and the fair value of financial instruments, as described in further detail below, and in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto contained in this Form 10-K. Management believes that the judgments, estimates, and assumptions used in the preparation of the financial statements are appropriate given the factual circumstances at the time, however, given the sensitivity of the financial statements to these critical accounting policies, estimates, and assumptions, material differences in the results of operations or financial condition could result.

Table of Contents

      Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance for probable incurred credit losses. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. Management estimates the allowance balance required using past loan loss experience, the nature and volume of the portfolio, information about specific borrower situations and estimated collateral values, economic conditions, and other factors. Allocations of the allowance may be made for specific loans, but the entire allowance is available for any loan that, in management’s judgment, should be charged off.
      The allowance consists of specific and general components. The specific component relates to loans that are individually classified as impaired or loans otherwise classified as substandard or doubtful. The general component covers non-classified loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for current factors.
      A loan is impaired when full payment under the loan terms is not expected. Commercial and commercial real estate loans are individually evaluated for impairment. If a loan is impaired, a portion of the allowance is allocated so that the loan is reported, net, at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s existing rate or at the fair value of collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral. Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans, such as consumer and residential real estate loans, are collectively evaluated for impairment, and accordingly, they are not separately identified for impairment disclosures.
      Management recognizes a certain level of imprecision exists in the manner in which the allowance for loan losses is calculated, owing to intangible factors.
      Finally, management regularly monitors the performance of the loan portfolio with regard to levels of criticized and classified loans, as well as assessing regional economic factors which may impact the loan portfolio. This provides additional information for management’s regular evaluation of the allowance.
      Temporary Decline in Fair Value of Securities. Under current accounting rules, declines in the fair value of securities below their cost that are other-than-temporary are reflected as realized losses. In determining whether an unrealized loss is considered other-than-temporary, management considers: (1) the length of time and extent that fair value has been less than cost; (2) the financial condition and near term prospects of the issuer; and (3) the Company’s ability and intent to hold the security for a period sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair values. In management’s view, the decline in market value of the securities that were below amortized cost at December 31, 2005 does not represent other-than-temporary impairment, and thus no loss was recognized on the income statement. Additional information regarding these securities can be found in Note 3, “Securities” to the notes to consolidated financial statements.
Overview
      The profitability of the Company’s operations depends primarily on the net interest income from its banking operations and investment activities, the provision for losses on loans, noninterest income, noninterest expense, and income tax expense. Net interest income is the difference between the income the Company receives on its loan and investment portfolios and its cost of funds, which consists of interest paid on deposits and borrowings. The provision for loan losses reflects the cost of credit risk in the Company’s loan portfolio. Noninterest income includes service charges on deposit accounts, net merchant credit card processing fees, gains from sales of loans and investment securities, and investment services commissions. Noninterest expense includes operating costs such as salaries and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment, data processing, professional fees, marketing, state and local taxes, and other administrative expense.
      Net interest income is dependent on the amounts and yields on interest-earning assets as compared to the amounts and rates on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income is sensitive to changes in market rates of interest and the Company’s asset/ liability management procedures in dealing with such changes.
      The provision for loan losses is dependent on management’s assessment of the collectibility of the loan portfolio under current economic conditions. Other expenses are influenced by the growth of operations, with additional employees necessary to staff and operate new banking offices and marketing expenses necessary to promote them. Growth in the number of account relationships directly affects expenses such as technology costs, supplies, postage, and miscellaneous expenses.

      In 2005, national and regional economic conditions continued to improve, real estate values rose, and short-term interest rates continued to increase. The Federal Reserve Bank sustained its “measured pace” of rate increases, moving the federal funds target rate in 0.25 percent increments, a process that began in May of 2004 with the rate at 1.00 percent. By year-end 2004, the federal funds target rate reached 2.25 percent and 2005 FRB actions further increased this key rate to 4.25 percent by year-end 2005. Despite the increase in short-term rates engineered by the Federal Reserve, long term interest rates stayed at historically low levels, and continued to prompt borrowers to refinance loans. Loan totals during the first half of the year increased only slightly as loan originations were offset by loan refinancing and payoffs. During the second half of the year, loan totals increased as a result of favorable loan demand, plus the benefits of an increased number of office locations and qualified lending personnel. Loan totals also reflect the purchase of $13,882,000 of residential real estate loans from a mortgage broker. By the end of 2005, loan totals had reached $189,188,000, up $39,600,000 or 18.50 percent over the prior year-end and deposit totals increased $26,100,000, up 15.01 percent, and ending 2005 at a record $199,890,000. The net interest margin improved to average 5.15 percent in 2005 compared to 5.02 percent in 2004. Credit quality was favorable as the ratio of nonperforming loans to total loans, although higher than the prior year, stayed at low levels, with nonperforming loans as a ratio of total loans at 0.61 percent compared with 0.14 percent last year. Net income declined 24.65 percent to $966,000 or $0.47 per diluted share, compared to $1,282,000 or $0.63 per diluted share. The main reason for the decrease in profits was higher operating costs resulting from new offices and personnel, which were not fully offset by higher net interest income due to growth in loans, and improved net interest margins.
      Capital activities in 2005 included quarterly cash dividends paid in February, May, August, and November, and a four-for-three stock split effective in October. Capital ratios remain strong with the equity-to-assets ratio at 7.12 percent at December 31, 2005.
Results of Operations 2005 Compared to 2004
      The Company’s 2005 net income was $966,000 compared to $1,282,000 in 2005, a decrease of 24.65 percent. Basic and diluted earnings per share for 2005 were $0.48 and $0.47, respectively, compared to $0.64 and $0.63 for 2004. Return on average assets was 0.45 percent for 2005 and 0.66 percent for 2004. Returns on average common equity were 5.51 percent and 7.58 percent, respectively. The net interest margin (net interest income on a taxable-equivalent basis divided by average earning assets) was 5.15 percent compared to 5.02 percent in 2004.
      The results of operations in 2005 reflected higher net interest income. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the average balance of the loan portfolio and an increase in interest rates.
      For the year, noninterest income including gains on sales of loans and investments decreased 0.94 percent. Operating expenses rose 17.99 percent due primarily to the costs associated with the opening of two new offices which resulted in increased salary, occupancy, and depreciation expense.
      The table of selected consolidated financial data, which appears on page 14 summarizes the Company’s financial performance for each of the past five years. Additional analysis of financial components is contained in the discussion that follows.
Results of Operations 2004 Compared to 2003
      The Company’s 2004 net income was $1,282,000 compared $1,036,000 in 2003, an increase of 23.7 percent. Basic and diluted earnings per share for 2004 were $0.64 and $0.63, respectively, compared to $0.52 and $0.52 for 2003. Return on average assets was 0.66 percent for 2004 and 0.60 percent for 2003. Returns on average common equity were 7.58 percent and 6.42 percent, respectively. The net interest margin (net interest income on a taxable-equivalent basis divided by average earning assets) was stable at 5.02 percent in 2004 and 2003.

      The results of operations in 2004 reflected higher net interest income due to growth in loans. 2004 operating results included additional expense of $132,000 recorded in the first quarter of 2004 to write down Bank-owned real estate to the value realized upon its sale in May 2004.
      For 2004, noninterest income including gains on sales of loans and investments decreased 2.6 percent. Operating expenses rose 5.0 percent and included additional professional services expense and costs associated with opening the new South Lake Union branch.

      The Company’s principal source of earnings is net interest income, which is the difference between interest income, including loan-related fee income, and interest expense. The individual components of net interest income and net interest margin are presented on pages 19 and 20.
      2005 Compared to 2004
      Net interest income for 2005 was $10,263,000 compared to $9,102,000 in 2004. The 12.8 percent increase was principally due to growth in the average balance of the loan portfolio, and partially due to a rise in interest rates, which increased the net interest margin to 5.15 percent in 2005, compared to 5.02 percent in 2004. The expanding net interest margin reflected the net repricing of earning assets and paying liabilities to higher rates.
      Total interest income was $13,712,000 in 2005, compared to $11,363,000 in 2004. This increase of $2,349,000 or 20.7 percent was primarily attributable to a 12.7 percent increase in average loan balances, higher rates on variable-rate loans and investments, and new loans funded at higher rates.
      Total interest expense was $3,449,000 in 2005 compared to $2,261,000 in 2004, an increase of $1,188,000 or 52.5 percent. This increase was largely due to higher rates on average interest-bearing deposits, and an increase in average interest-bearing deposit balances.
      2004 Compared to 2003
      Net interest income for 2004 was $9,102,000 compared to $8,200,000 in 2003. The 11.0 percent increase was principally due to growth in the average balance of the loan portfolio, and partially due to a change in the mix of earning assets from federal funds sold to higher yielding loans and securities. The net interest margin was stable year over year, remaining at 5.02 percent in 2004 and 2003.
      Total interest income was $11,363,000 in 2004, compared to $10,408,000 in 2003. This increase of 9.2 percent was primarily attributable to a 17.8 percent increase in average loan balances, a change in the mix of earning assets from federal funds and securities sold to higher yielding loans, partially offset by lower rates on new and refinanced loans.
      Total interest expense was $2,261,000 in 2004 compared to $2,208,000 in 2003, an increase of 2.4 percent. This increase was largely due to growth in average time deposits outstanding, largely offset by the repricing of existing time deposits to lower interest rates.

Provision and Allowance for Loan Losses
      The provision for loan losses was $423,000 in 2005 compared to $321,000 and $233,000 for 2004 and 2003, respectively. At December 31, 2005, the allowance for loan losses was $2,056,000, or 1.09 percent of total loans, compared with $1,887,000 or 1.18 percent of total loans December 31, 2004. At December 31, 2004, the allowance for loan losses was $1,887,000, compared to $1,636,000, or 1.18 percent of total loans at December 31, 2003. Nonperforming loans (nonaccrual loans and loans over 90 days past due) to total loans at the end of 2005 were 0.61 percent compared to 0.14 percent at December 31, 2004 and 0.46 percent at December 31, 2003.
      The increase in the provision for loan losses in 2005 resulted largely from an increase in loan charge-offs, an increase in nonperforming loans, and changes in loan portfolio composition, as well as an increase in loans. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total loans at December 31, 2005 was lower than year-end 2004 primarily because of higher credit quality of new loans, including $13,882,000 of residential real estate loans purchased in the fourth quarter of 2005.
      The increase in the provision for loan losses for 2004 compared to 2003 resulted largely from changes in portfolio composition, offset by improved net loan loss experience. The allowance for loan losses to total loans percentage was lower at the end of 2003 primarily because most loan growth occurred late in the year, reflecting the higher credit quality of the new loans. In addition, a fourth quarter foreclosure action on one loan resulted in a lower level of nonperforming loans in the allowance calculation. A portion of the loan was charged off to the allowance for loan losses to record the acquired property in the “other real estate owned” category at the lower of cost or realizable value.
      Management evaluates the adequacy of the allowance on a quarterly basis after consideration of a number of factors, including the volume and composition of the loan portfolio, potential impairment of individual loans, concentrations of credit, past loss experience, current delinquencies, information about specific borrowers, current economic conditions, and other factors.
      The Company considers the allowance for loan losses adequate to cover probable incurred losses, however, no assurance can be given that actual losses will not exceed estimated amounts. In addition, changes in factors such as regional economic conditions and the financial strength of commercial and individual borrowers may require changes in the level of the allowance, cause increases in problem assets, delinquencies and losses on loans, and result in fluctuations in reported earnings.
      An analysis of the changes in the allowance for loan losses, including provisions, recoveries, and loans charged off is presented in Note 5, “Allowance for Loan Losses” to the consolidated financial statements.
Noninterest Income
      Noninterest income in 2005, 2004, and 2003 totaled $1,693,000, $1,709,000, and $1,755,000, respectively.
      The decrease of 0.94 percent in 2005 was primarily due to a decrease in service charges on deposit accounts, offset by an increase in net earnings on bank-owned life insurance and other noninterest income. In August 2005, the Bank purchased life insurance on certain employees of the Bank, which provides $5,000,000 in cash surrender value to the Bank. Increases in cash surrender value of the policies will be used to fund future employee benefit plan expense.
      The decrease of 2.6 percent in 2004 compared to 2003 was primarily due to lower recorded gains on sales of securities available for sale and lower commissions and fees, offset by higher revenue from service charges on deposit accounts.
Noninterest Expense
      The Company’s total noninterest expense for 2005, 2004, and 2003 was $10,150,000, $8,602,000, and $8,196,000, respectively.

21


Table of Contents

      Noninterest expense increased $1,548,000 or 17.99 percent in 2005. The change in this category was primarily due to an increase of $945,000 due primarily to costs associated with the opening of two new offices and increased salary and benefits expense.
      Noninterest expense increased $406,000 or 5.0 percent in 2004. The change in this category was primarily due to an increase of $223,000 in salaries and employee benefits. Noninterest expense for 2004 included the first quarter write-down of $132,000 in the value of other real estate owned, additional professional services expense, and certain costs associated with opening a new branch in the South Lake Union area of Seattle in November 2004.
Review of Financial Condition
      Total assets increased 18.87 percent in 2005 to $249,192,000, securities decreased 4.61 percent to $33,550,000, loans increased 18.50 percent to $189,188,000, and deposits increased 15.01 percent to $199,890,000.

      The securities portfolio decreased $1,620,000 from December 31, 2004 to December 31, 2005. The decrease resulted primarily from $2,368,000 in proceeds from sales, maturities, and principal payments on securities, offset by purchases of securities totaling $1,125,000.
      In May 2005, FHLB of Seattle suspended payment of dividends when, due in part to declining income, FHLB entered into a written agreement with its regulator, the Federal Housing Finance Board. The written agreement called for a significant transition in FHLB’s business model and an indefinite suspension of dividend payments.
      The securities portfolio decreased $4,648,000 from December 31, 2003 to December 31, 2004. The decrease resulted primarily from $6,390,000 in proceeds from sales, maturities, and principal payments on securities, offset by purchases of securities totaling $1,523,000.

      Origination of Loans The lending activities of the Bank are subject to the written underwriting standards and loan origination procedures established by the Board of Directors and management. Loan originations are obtained through a variety of sources, including referrals from customers, builders and real estate brokers, along with direct marketing efforts of the loan officers. Written loan applications and credit analysis is performed by the loan officers. The loan officers also supervise the procurement of credit reports, appraisals, and other documentation involved with a loan. Property valuations are performed by independent outside appraisers.
      The Bank’s loan approval process is intended to assess the borrower’s ability to repay the loan, the viability of the loan and adequacy of the value of any collateral that will secure the loan. The Bank’s loan policy authorizes senior vice presidents to approve aggregate extensions of credit up to $500,000 and the President/ CEO and the Chief Credit Officer to approve aggregate extensions of credit up to $1,000,000. The Loan Committee, comprised of board members, is authorized to approve extensions of credit over $1,000,000.
      Commercial Loans At December 31, 2005, commercial loans amounted to $61,921,000, or 32.7 percent of the loan portfolio. Commercial loans generally have a term of up to five years and may have either floating rates tied to the Bank’s internal base rate or fixed rates of interest. Commercial loans are made to small and medium-sized businesses within the Bank’s market area. A majority of the Bank’s commercial loans are secured by real estate, equipment, and other corporate assets. The Bank also generally obtains personal guarantees from the principals of the borrower. In addition, the Bank may extend loans for a commercial business purpose which are secured by a mortgage on the proprietor’s home or business property.
      Commercial Real Estate Loans The commercial real estate loan portfolio generally consists of loans secured by office buildings, warehouses, production facilities, and retail stores generally located within the Seattle metropolitan area. In addition, the Bank has purchased participation interests in commercial real estate loans from various financial institutions in the region. Commercial real estate loans amounted to $76,902,000, or 40.6 percent of the total loan portfolio at December 31, 2005. Participation interest in commercial real estate loans purchased amounted to $5,646,000, or 7.3 percent of the commercial real estate portfolio at December 31, 2005. Before purchasing such loans, the Bank utilizes the same underwriting standard and criteria as it would if it had originated the loans.
      The Bank’s commercial real estate loans typically have a loan-to-value ratio of 80 percent or less and generally have shorter maturities than one-to-four family residential loans. The maximum term of the Bank’s commercial real estate loans is from 5 to 10 years based on up to a 25-year amortization schedule. Most have adjustable rates tied to the Seattle Federal Home Loan Bank rates, but some have fixed rates. For each real estate loan, the Bank requires a title insurance policy, fire and extended coverage casualty insurance, and a flood insurance policy when the property is in a flood hazard area.
      Commercial real estate lending is generally considered to have a higher degree of risk than one-to-four family residential lending. Such lending typically involves large loan balances concentrated in single borrower or groups of related borrowers for rental or business properties. In addition, the payment experience on loans secured by income-producing properties is typically dependent on the success of the operation of the related project and thus is typically affected by adverse conditions in the real estate market and in the economy. The Bank typically attempts to mitigate the risk associated with its real estate lending by, among other things, lending primarily in its market area and using conforming loan-to-value ratios in the underwriting process.
      The Bank also offers multi-family (over four units) residential loans. The multi-family residential mortgage loans are underwritten on substantially the same basis as its commercial real estate loans, with loan-to-value ratios of up to 80 percent. At December 31, 2005, the Bank had $11,489,000 in multi-family residential mortgage loans which amounted to 14.9 percent of the commercial real estate portfolio.
      Construction Loans The Bank provides construction financing for both single family home builders, and for commercial construction projects. To mitigate the higher risk factors associated with construction financing, the Bank typically underwrites loans with conservative loan-to-value ratios, with maximum loan-to-value ratios of 80 percent and maximum loan-to-construction cost ratios of 90 percent. All construction loan advances are subject to inspection requirements of a third party construction monitoring expert. Construction

lending is limited to experienced developers and contractors, and all loans have recourse to the ownership group. Construction loans are typically variable rate loans, with short 12-18 month maturities, with identified take-out financing.
      One-to-Four Family Residential Real Estate Loans The Bank originates a limited number of loans secured by one-to-four family residences to commercial clients of the bank. In December of 2005, the Bank augmented its loan portfolio with the purchase of a variety of residential loans from a mortgage broker. This included 31 individual loans with a total balance of $13,882,000. These loans included a mix of adjustable rate mortgages and fixed rate loans, and were underwritten in accordance with the Bank’s conservative guidelines. As of December 31, 2005, $28,195,000, or 14.9 percent of the total portfolio, before net items, consisted of one-to-four family residential loans.
      For residential real estate lending, loan-to-value ratios, maturities, and other provisions of the loans made by the Bank generally have reflected the policy of making less than the maximum loan permissible under applicable regulations, in accordance with sound lending practices, market conditions, and underwriting standards established by the Bank. The Bank’s present lending policies on one-to-four family residential mortgage loans generally limit the maximum loan-to-value ratio to 80 percent of the lesser of the appraised value or purchase price of the property. Residential mortgage loans are amortized on a monthly basis with principal and interest due each month. The loans generally include “due-on-sale” clauses.
      Under the lending policy of the Bank, a title insurance policy must be obtained for each real estate loan. The Bank also requires fire and extended coverage casualty insurance, in order to protect the properties securing its real estate loans. Borrowers must also obtain flood insurance policies when the property is in a flood plain as designated by the Department of Housing and Urban Development.
      Consumer Loans The Bank originates consumer loans in order to provide a full range of financial services to its customers and because such loans generally have shorter terms and higher interest rates than residential mortgage loans. At December 31, 2005, the Bank had $15,217,000 in consumer loan debt, or 8.0 percent of the Bank’s total loan portfolio. The consumer loans offered by the Bank include home equity loans, automobile loans, credit card balances, and a small aggregate amount of unsecured lines of credit.
      Collections The Bank mails delinquency notices to borrowers when a borrower fails to make a required payment within 15 days of the date due. Additional notices are sent out when a loan becomes 30 days or 60 days past due. If a loan becomes 90 days past due, the Bank generally mails a notice indicating that the Bank may refer it to an attorney within 30 days to commence foreclosure. In most cases, deficiencies are cured promptly. While the Bank generally prefers to work with borrowers to resolve such problems, the Bank will institute foreclosure or other collection proceedings when necessary to minimize any potential loss.
      Nonaccrual Loans Loans are placed on nonaccrual status when management believes the probability of collection of interest is insufficient to warrant further accrual. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, previously accrued but unpaid interest is deducted from interest income. As a matter of policy, the Bank generally discontinues the accrual of interest income when the loan becomes 90 days past due as to principal or interest. Standard Bank loan documentation entitles the Bank to charge a higher default rate of interest when a loan becomes 90 days past due.

(1)  If interest on these nonaccruing loans had been recognized, such income would have been $29,000, $9,000, $9,000, $68,000, and $22,000 for 2005, 2004, 2003, 2002, and 2001.
      The decrease in other real estate owned at December 31, 2004 resulted from the sale of foreclosed property in May 2004.
      At December 31, 2003, other real estate owned consisted of one residential real estate property acquired through foreclosure in December 2003. Upon foreclosure, the Bank charged off a portion of the non-performing loan secured by the foreclosed property and transferred the remaining balance to other real estate owned. The property was recorded at the lower of cost or realizable value, based on a third party appraisal less estimated selling costs.
      There were no commitments for additional funds related to the loans noted above. At December 31, 2005, there were no potential problem loans that are not now disclosed where known information causes management to have serious doubts as to the ability of the borrower to comply with present loan repayment terms.
      At December 31, 2005, nonaccruing real estate loans included one well-secured loan of $479,000.
      Nonperforming loans include nonaccrual loans and accruing loans delinquent 90 days or more. Loans are generally placed on nonaccrual status when the loan is 90 days or more past due as to principal and interest, unless the loan is well-secured and in the process of collection. If management believes that collection is doubtful after considering relevant conditions, accrual of interest is discontinued immediately.

Junior Subordinated Debt (Trust Preferred Securities)
      In May 2002, Bancorp formed EvergreenBancorp Capital Trust I (“the Trust”) a statutory trust formed under the laws of the State of Delaware. In May 2002, the Trust issued $5 million in trust preferred securities in a private placement offering. Simultaneously with the issuance of the trust preferred securities by the Trust, Bancorp issued junior subordinated debentures to the Trust. The junior subordinated debentures are the sole assets of the Trust. The junior subordinated debentures and the trust preferred securities pay distributions and dividends, respectively, on a quarterly basis, which are included in interest expense. The interest rate payable on the debentures and the trust preferred securities resets quarterly and is equal to the three-month LIBOR plus 3.50% (7.55% at December 31, 2005), provided that this rate cannot exceed 12.0% through June 30, 2007. The junior subordinated debentures are callable in 2007, at which time management will examine options to refinance; the debentures will mature in 2032, at which time the preferred securities must be redeemed. Bancorp has provided a full, irrevocable, and unconditional guarantee on a subordinated basis of the obligations of the Trust under the preferred securities as set forth in such guarantee agreement. Debt issuance costs totaling $209,000 were capitalized related to the offering and are being amortized over the estimated life of the junior subordinated debentures.
      Prior to 2003, the Trust was consolidated in the Company’s financial statements, with the trust preferred securities issued by the Trust reported in liabilities as “guaranteed preferred beneficial interests” and the subordinated debentures eliminated in consolidation. Under current accounting guidance, FASB Interpretation No. 46, as revised in December 2003, the Trust is no longer consolidated with the Company. Accordingly, the Company does not report the securities issued by the Trust as liabilities, and instead reports as liabilities the subordinated debentures issued by the Company and held by the Trust, as these are no longer eliminated in consolidation. The effect of no longer consolidating the Trust does not change the amounts reported as the Company’s assets, liabilities, equity, or interest expense. Accordingly, the amounts previously reported as “guaranteed preferred beneficial interests” in liabilities have been recaptioned “junior subordinated debt” and continue to be presented in liabilities on the balance sheet.
      Bancorp invested $4,800,000 of the proceeds from the trust preferred offering in the Bank, which used the funds to support its lending and other operations. The proceeds are considered Tier 1 capital under regulatory guidelines.
Contractual Obligations and Commitments
      In the normal course of business, to meet the financing needs of its customers, the Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, lines of credit, and standby letters of credit. Such off-balance-sheet items are recognized in the financial statements when they are funded or related fees are received. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. The off-balance-sheet items do not represent unusual elements of credit risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the balance sheets.

Table of Contents

      At December 31, 2005, the Company had commitments to extend credit and contingent liabilities under lines of credit, standby letters of credit, and similar arrangements totaling $52,341,000. Since many lines of credit do not fully disburse, or expire without being drawn upon, the total amount does not necessarily reflect future cash requirements.
      For additional information regarding off-balance-sheet items, refer to Note 16, “Commitments and Contingencies” to the consolidated financial statements.
      The following table summarizes the Company’s significant contractual obligations and commitments at December 31, 2005:

      For additional discussion of FHLB advances and junior subordinated debt, see Note 8 “Borrowings and Junior Subordinated Debt” to the consolidated financial statements.
Asset/ Liability Management
      The principal objectives of asset/liability management are to manage changes in net interest income and earnings due to changes in interest rates, maintain adequate liquidity, and manage capital adequacy. Asset/liability management encompasses structuring the mix of assets, deposits, and borrowings to limit exposure to interest rate risk and enhance long-term profitability.
      The following discussion and analysis addresses managing liquidity, interest rate risk, and capital resources. These elements provide the framework for the Company’s asset/liability management policy. The asset/liability committee consists of the senior management of the Bank and meets at least quarterly to implement policy guidelines.
Liquidity
      Liquidity is defined as the ability to provide sufficient cash to fund operations and meet obligations and commitments on a timely basis. Through asset and liability management, the Company controls its liquidity position to ensure that sufficient funds are available to meet the needs of depositors, borrowers, and creditors.
      In addition to cash and cash equivalents, asset liquidity is also provided by the available-for-sale securities portfolio. Liquidity is further enhanced by deposit growth, federal funds purchased, borrowings, and planned maturities and sales of investments and loans.
      The Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows provides information on the sources and uses of cash for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004, and 2003. As shown in these statements, the Company’s largest cash flows relate to both investing and financing activities.
      Over the past year, the primary investing and financing activities that have required the greatest use of cash include lending, purchases of loans, and a purchase of bank owned life insurance. The primary sources of cash flows have been growth in deposits, proceeds from Federal Home Loan Bank advances, and proceeds from paydowns and maturities of securities available for sale.
      In 2004, the primary investing and financing activities that have required the greatest use of cash include lending and the repayment of Federal Home Loan Bank advances. The primary sources of cash flows have been growth in deposits, and sales, maturities, and principal paydowns on securities available for sale.

Table of Contents

      In 2003, the primary investing activities that required the greatest use of cash included lending and purchases of new securities. Purchases of securities in 2003 were predominately in an adjustable rate mortgage-backed securities fund to maintain overall liquidity and control interest rate risk. The primary sources of cash flows have been growth in deposits and an increase in FHLB borrowings.
      The Bank has a credit line through the Federal Home Loan Bank for properly collateralized borrowings up to 30% of the Bank’s total assets. In addition, the Bank has approved credit lines with correspondent banks for overnight funds credit facilities aggregating $16,500,000.
Interest Rate Risk
      The Company’s profitability depends largely upon its net interest income, which is the difference between interest earned on assets, primarily loans and investments, and the interest expense incurred on its liabilities, largely deposits and borrowings. Interest rate risk is the variation in bank performance introduced by changes in interest rates over time. The Company’s objective in managing interest rate risk is to minimize the impact on net income due to significant changes in interest rates.
      The Company monitors interest rate risk by monthly reports that highlight the level, trend, and composition of net interest income and net interest margin, by quarterly reports matching rate-sensitive assets to rate-sensitive liabilities, and by reports of interest rate sensitivity through net interest income analysis.
      Net interest income analysis is the primary tool used by management to assess the direction and magnitude of changes in net interest income resulting from changes in interest rates. This method of analysis assesses overall interest rate sensitivity by modeling the impact on net interest income from sudden and sustained increases and decreases in market interest rates. The following table presents a summary of the potential changes in net interest income over a one year time horizon resulting from immediate and sustained changes in market interest rates.

-100bp
    (334 )     (3.30 )
-200bp
    (1,172 )     (11.58 )
      The tables above reflect the effect of interest rate changes on the Company’s net interest income. At December 31, 2005, the table to the left indicates that the effect of an immediate 100 basis point increase in interest rates would increase the Company’s net interest income by 0.86 percent or approximately $94,000. An immediate 100 basis point decrease in rates indicates a potential reduction of net interest income by 2.22 percent or approximately $243,000. For comparison purposes, the table to the right presents the rate risk profile as of December 31, 2004.
      While net interest income or “rate shock” analysis is a useful tool to assess interest rate risk, the methodology has inherent limitations. For example, certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or periods to repricing, but may react in different degrees to changes in market interest rates. Prepayment and early withdrawal levels could vary significantly from assumptions made in calculating the tables. In addition, the ability of borrowers to service their debt may decrease in the event of significant interest rate increases. Finally, actual results may vary as management may not adjust rates equally as general levels of interest rates rise or fall.
      The Company does not use interest rate risk management products, such as interest rate swaps, hedges, or derivatives.

Capital Resources
      Stockholders’ equity on December 31, 2005 was $17,736,000, compared to $17,485,000 at December 31, 2004, an increase of $251,000 or 1.44 percent. Current earnings were $966,000 and dividends paid were $457,000. The change in unrealized losses on securities available-for-sale, net of deferred taxes, also reduced the total stockholders’ equity by $336,000 during 2005.
      At December 31, 2005, the Company had total “risk-based capital” of $24,997,000 as compared to $24,305,000 at December 31, 2004. See Note 18 “Regulatory Capital Requirements” to the consolidated financial statements for additional information on risk-based capital and other regulated capital ratios.
      Capital management activities in 2005 included the payment of four quarterly cash dividends and a four-for-three stock split in October.
      Management has issued no material commitments for major capital expenditures and knows of no trends or uncertainties, favorable or unfavorable, other than increased competition that would materially impact capital resources. Adequate reserves are maintained to provide for loan losses. The principal source of capital is undivided profits.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
      Organization. EvergreenBancorp, Inc. (“Bancorp”) was formed February 9, 2001 and is a Washington corporation chartered as a bank holding company. Bancorp holds all of the issued and outstanding shares of EvergreenBank (“the Bank”). As further discussed in Note 8 “Borrowings and Junior Subordinated Debt” to the consolidated financial statements, EvergreenBancorp Capital Trust I (“the Trust”) had previously been consolidated with the Company and is now reported separately. The consolidated entities are collectively referred to as “the Company.” The Bank is a Washington state chartered financial institution established in 1971 that engages in general commercial and consumer banking operations. Deposits in the Bank are insured to a maximum of $100,000 per depositor (in some instances up to $100,000 per deposit account, depending on the ownership category of the account) by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“the FDIC”).
      The Bank offers a broad spectrum of personal and business banking services, including commercial, consumer, and real estate lending. The Bank’s offices are centered in the Puget Sound region in the Seattle, Lynnwood, Bellevue, and Federal Way communities.
      Operating Segments. While the Company’s management monitors the revenue streams of the various products and services, operations are managed and financial performance is evaluated on a Company-wide basis. Accordingly, all of the Company’s banking operations are considered by management to be aggregated in one reportable segment.
      Holding Company Information. The Bank became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Bancorp on June 20, 2001 in accordance with the Plan and Agreement of Reorganization and Merger dated February 14, 2001, which provided that each share of the Bank’s common stock be exchanged for an equal number of shares of the common stock of the Bancorp. This was treated as an internal reorganization; accordingly, the capital accounts of the Bank as of June 20, 2001 were carried forward, without change, as the capital accounts of the Bancorp.
      Principles of Consolidation and Use of Estimates. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the combined accounts of the Bancorp and the Bank. Significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
      The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and with the general practices in the banking industry. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with these principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, including contingent amounts, at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
      Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, cash items, clearings and exchanges, amounts due from correspondent banks, interest-bearing deposits in other financial institutions, and federal funds sold. Federal funds sold generally mature within one to four days from the transaction date.
      Securities. Securities classified as available-for-sale are reported at fair value, with the net unrealized gains or losses, net of tax, reported in other comprehensive income (loss), a separate component of stockholders’ equity. Realized gains or losses on securities sold are based on the net proceeds and adjusted book values of the securities sold, using the specific identification method. Other securities, such as FHLB stock, are carried at cost.
      Interest income includes amortization of purchase premium or discount. Premiums and discounts on securities are amortized on the level-yield method without anticipating prepayments. Gains and losses on sales are recorded on the trade date and determined using the specific identification method.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
      Declines in the fair value of securities below their cost that are other than temporary are reflected as realized losses. In estimating other-than-temporary losses, management considers: (1) the length of time and extent that fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the Company’s ability and intent to hold the security for a period sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.
      Loans. Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are reported at the principal balance outstanding, net of unearned interest, deferred loan fees and costs, and allowance for loan losses. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, are deferred and recognized in interest income using the level-yield method without anticipating prepayments.
      Interest income on mortgage and commercial loans is discontinued at the time the loan is 90 days delinquent unless the loan is well-secured and in the process of collection. Consumer and credit card loans are typically charged off no later than 120 days past due. Past due status is based on the contractual terms of the loan. Loans are placed on nonaccrual or charged-off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful.
      All interest accrued but not received for loans placed on nonaccrual is reversed against interest income. Interest received on such loans is accounted for on the cash-basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. Loans are returned to accrual status when all principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.
      Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance for probable incurred credit losses. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. Management estimates the allowance balance required using past loan loss experience, the nature and volume of the portfolio, information about specific borrower situations and estimated collateral values, economic conditions, and other factors. Allocations of the allowance may be made for specific loans, but the entire allowance is available for any loan that, in management’s judgment, should be charged off.
      The allowance consists of specific and general components. The specific component relates to loans that are individually classified as impaired or loans otherwise classified as substandard or doubtful. The general component covers non-classified loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for current factors.
      A loan is impaired when full payment under the loan terms is not expected. Commercial and commercial real estate loans are individually evaluated for impairment. If a loan is impaired, a portion of the allowance is allocated so that the loan is reported, net, at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s existing rate or at the fair value of collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral. Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans, such as consumer and residential real estate loans, are collectively evaluated for impairment, and accordingly, they are not separately identified for impairment disclosures.
      Other Real Estate Owned. Other real estate owned is comprised of a property recorded at the lower of cost or market based upon the appraised value.
      Premises and Equipment. Premises and equipment include leasehold improvements and are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization on the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful lives of the assets ranging from 5 to 10 years or the terms of the related leases. The Company leases the premises upon which it conducts business. Furniture, fixtures, and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line (or accelerated) method with useful lives ranging from 5 to 7 years. Maintenance, repairs, taxes, and insurance are charged to noninterest expense.

      Foreclosed Assets. Assets acquired through or instead of loan foreclosure are initially recorded at fair value when acquired, establishing a new cost basis. If fair value declines subsequent to foreclosure, a valuation allowance is recorded through expense. Costs after acquisition are expensed.
      Income Taxes. Income tax expense is the total of the current year income tax due or refundable and the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are the expected future tax amounts for the temporary differences between carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities, computed using enacted tax rates.
      Comprehensive Income. Comprehensive income consists of net income and other comprehensive income. Other comprehensive income includes the reclassification and tax effects of the change in unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities, which are recognized as a separate component of equity.
      Postretirement Health Care Benefits. The liability for postretirement benefits is reported by recognizing the expense for such benefits over the period services are rendered by employees.
      Fair Values of Financial Instruments. Fair values of financial instruments are estimated using relevant market information and other assumptions as more fully disclosed in Note 17 “Fair Values of Financial Instruments” to the consolidated financial statements. Fair value estimates involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment regarding interest rates, credit risk, prepayments, and other factors, especially in the absence of broad markets for particular items. Changes in assumptions or in market conditions could significantly affect the estimates.
      Loan Commitments and Related Financial Instruments. Financial instruments include off-balance-sheet credit instruments, such as commitments to make loans and commercial letters of credit, issued to meet customer financing needs. The face amount for these items represents the exposure to loss, before considering customer collateral or ability to repay. Such financial instruments are recorded when they are funded. Instruments, such as standby letters of credit, that are considered financial guarantees in accordance with FASB Interpretation No. 45 are recorded at fair value.
      Loss Contingencies. Loss contingencies, including claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, are recorded as liabilities when the likelihood of loss is probable and an amount or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. Management does not believe there now are such matters that will have a material effect on the financial statements.

      Stock-Based Compensation. Employee compensation expense under stock options is reported using the intrinsic value method. No stock-based compensation cost is reflected in net income, as all options granted had an exercise price equal to or greater than the market price of the underlying common stock at date of grant. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if expense was measured using the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard Statement No. 123(R), Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. Earnings and dividends per share are restated for all stock splits and dividends through the date of issue of the financial statements.

      The weighted average fair value of individual options granted was $3.68, $1.94, and $1.82 in 2005, 2004, and 2003. The pro forma effects are computed using option pricing models, using the following weighted-average assumptions as of grant date.

    1.7%       1.8%       1.1%  
      Earnings Per Share. Basic earnings per common share is net income divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share includes the dilutive effect of additional potential common shares issuable under stock options.
      Newly issued accounting pronouncements. FAS 123R requires all public companies to record compensation costs for stock options provided to employees in return for employee service. The cost is measured at the fair value of the options when granted, and this cost is expensed over the employee service period, which is normally the vesting period of the options. This applies to awards granted or modified after the first year beginning after December 15, 2005. Compensation cost will also be recorded for prior option grants that vest after the date of adoption. The effect on results of operations will depend on the level of future option grants and the calculation of the fair value of the options granted at such future date, as well as the vesting periods provided, and so cannot currently be predicted. Existing options that vest after adoption date are expected to result in additional compensation expense pre tax of approximately $98,000 in 2006, $80,000 in 2007, $63,000 in 2008, $36,000 in 2009, and $25,000 in 2010. There will be no significant effect on financial position as total equity will not change.
      SOP 03-3 requires that a valuation allowance for loans acquired in a transfer, including in a business combination, reflect only losses incurred after acquisition and should not be recorded at acquisition. It applies to any loan acquired in a transfer that showed evidence of credit quality deterioration since it was made.

      Dividend Restriction. Banking regulations require the maintenance of certain capital levels and may limit the amount of dividends that may be paid by the Bank to the Bancorp or by the Bancorp to the stockholders.
      Reclassifications. Certain items in prior years’ financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the current year’s presentation. These reclassifications did not change previously reported stockholders’ equity or net income.
Note 2: Restrictions on Cash and Due from Banks
      Cash on hand or on deposit with the Federal Reserve Bank of $1,113,000 and $1,423,000 was required to meet regulatory reserve and clearing requirements at year end 2005 and 2004. These balances do not earn interest.

The Company is required to maintain a minimum investment in the stock of the FHLB of Seattle based on certain percentages of outstanding mortgage loans or advances from FHLB. At December 31, 2005, the minimum required investment was $1,151,500, which the Company exceeded.

      At December 31, 2005, securities with unrealized losses have an aggregate depreciation of 2.2 percent from the Company’s amortized cost basis. The unrealized losses are predominately the result of changing market values due to increasing short-term (less than two years) market interest rates, are expected to regain the lost value with stable or declining interest rates in keeping with the pattern of past economic cycles, and, accordingly, are considered as temporary. No credit issues have been identified that cause management to believe the declines in market value are other than temporary. The Company has the ability to hold these securities until maturity or for the foreseeable future.

      The Net Asset Value (NAV) of the AMF Adjustable Rate Mortgage Fund has declined with recent increases in short term interest rates. With respect to the ARM Fund investment, the historical performance of the fund shows that as interest rates slow their rate of ascent, are stable, or as rates decline, the fund recovers its value (that is, the degree of impairment reverses) through increases in its market net asset value. Management expects the ARM Fund to recover value following a decline due to a rising interest rate environment once rates stabilize and the underlying adjustable rate mortgages reprice to market. The Company has the ability and intent to hold the investment for a sufficient period of time for any anticipated recovery in fair value.

      These advances were collateralized in aggregate, as provided for in the Advance Security and Deposit Agreement with the FHLB, by FHLB stock owned, deposits with the FHLB, qualifying first mortgage loans, and certain U.S. government agency securities. At December 31, 2005, none of the advances have adjustable rates. Although the Company does not anticipate replacement of FHLB advances, if repayments were to occur prior to the contractual maturities, prepayment fees could be assessed.
      In May 2002, Bancorp formed EvergreenBancorp Capital Trust I (“the Trust”) a statutory trust formed under the laws of the State of Delaware and a wholly owned financing subsidiary of the Bancorp. In May 2002, the Trust issued $5 million in trust preferred securities in a private placement offering. Simultaneously with the issuance of the trust preferred securities by the Trust, the Bancorp issued junior subordinated debentures to the Trust. The junior subordinated debentures are the sole assets of the Trust. The junior subordinated debentures and the trust preferred securities pay distributions and dividends, respectively, on a quarterly basis, which are included in interest expense. The interest rate payable on the debentures and the trust preferred securities resets quarterly and is equal to the three-month LIBOR plus 3.50% (7.55% at December 31, 2005), provided that this rate cannot exceed 12.0% through June 30, 2007. The junior subordinated debentures are callable in 2007, at which time management will examine options to refinance; the debentures will mature in 2032, at which time the preferred securities must be redeemed. The Bancorp has provided a full, irrevocable, and unconditional guarantee on a subordinated basis of the obligations of the Trust under the preferred securities as set forth in such guarantee agreement. Debt issuance costs totaling $209,000 were capitalized related to the offering and are being amortized over the estimated life of the junior subordinated debentures.
      Prior to 2003, the Trust was consolidated in the Company’s financial statements, with the trust preferred securities issued by the Trust reported in liabilities as “guaranteed preferred beneficial interests” and the subordinated debentures eliminated in consolidation. Under current accounting guidance, FASB Interpretation No. 46, as revised in December 2003, the Trust is no longer consolidated with the Company. Accordingly, the Company does not report the securities issued by the Trust as liabilities, and instead reports as liabilities the subordinated debentures issued by the Company and held by the Trust, as these are no longer eliminated in consolidation. The effect of no longer consolidating the Trust does not change the amounts reported as the Company’s assets, liabilities, equity, or interest expense. Accordingly, the amounts previously reported as “guaranteed preferred beneficial interests” in liabilities have been recaptioned “junior subordinated debt” and continue to be presented in liabilities on the balance sheet.

Note 11: Stock Option Plan
      In April of 2000, the shareholders of the Bank adopted the 2000 Stock Option Plan that was subsequently adopted by Bancorp as a result of the holding company formation. In April of 2003, the shareholders of Bancorp approved an amendment to the 2000 Stock Option Plan to increase the number of shares available under the plan by 66,000 (“Amended 2000 Plan”). The Amended 2000 Plan currently provides for the grant of options to purchase up to 329,724 shares of common stock. Options available under the plan have been adjusted for all applicable stock dividends and stock splits paid by the Company. As of December 31, 2005, approximately 68,675 shares of common stock were available for future grant under the Amended 2000 Plan.
      The Amended 2000 Plan provides for the granting of non-qualified and incentive stock options to certain employees and directors. Non-qualified stock options granted to employees vest over a five-year period and expire after ten years from the date of grant. Nonqualified stock options granted to directors vest over a three-year period and expire after three years, three months from the date of grant.

Note 13: Retirement Benefits
      The Company participates in a multi-employer defined contribution retirement plan. The 401(k) plan permits all salaried employees to contribute up to a maximum of 15% of gross salary per month. For the first 6%, the Company contributes two dollars for each dollar the employee contributes. Partial vesting of Company contributions to the plan begins at 20% after two years of employment, and such contributions are 100% vested with five years of employment. The Company’s contributions to the plan for 2005, 2004, and 2003 were $321,000, $275,000, and $266,000, respectively.

      The Company also participates in multiple-employer defined benefit postretirement health care plans that provide medical and dental coverage to directors and surviving spouses and to employees who retire after age 62 and 15 years of full-time service and their dependents.

Retirees are eligible for one medical plan. The medical, dental and vision plans are nonfunded.
      The Company has adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 106, Employers’ Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions. SFAS No. 106 requires that employers recognize the cost of providing postretirement benefits over an employee’s active service period. Net periodic postretirement benefit cost under SFAS No. 106 was $236,000 in 2005, $218,000 in 2004, and $178,000 in 2003.

Note 15: Agreements with Related Parties
      The Company shares common services and support activities with other companies located at PEMCO Financial Center. Those companies include PEMCO Insurance Company, PEMCO Mutual Insurance Company, PEMCO Life Insurance Company, PEMCO Foundation, Inc., PEMCO Corporation, PCCS, Inc., PEMCO Technology Services, Inc., Public Employees Insurance Agency, Inc., and School Employees Credit Union of Washington. Such shared functions include human resources, employee benefits, legal services, and purchasing. Total costs associated with these shared services amounted to $239,000, $256,000, and $325,000 for 2005, 2004, and 2003, respectively.
      In addition, data processing expense for services provided by PCCS, Inc., PEMCO Corporation, PEMCO Mutual Insurance Company, and PEMCO Technology Services, Inc. for 2005, 2004, and 2003 was $346,000, $346,000, and $424,000, respectively.

Note 16: Commitments and Contingencies
      In the normal course of business, there are various commitments and contingent liabilities (such as guarantees, commitments to extend credit, letters of credit, and lines of credit) that are not presented in the financial statements. Such off-balance-sheet items are recognized in the financial statements when they are funded or related fees are received. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments. The off-balance-sheet items do not represent unusual elements of credit risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the balance sheets.
      The distribution of commitments to extend credit approximates the distribution of loans outstanding as set forth in Note 4 “Loans” to the consolidated financial statements. Commercial and standby letters of credit and similar arrangements are granted primarily to commercial borrowers.
      The Company is not aware of any claims or lawsuits that would have a materially adverse effect on the financial position of the Company.

      The methods and assumptions used to estimate fair value are described as follows.
      Carrying amount is the estimated fair value for cash and cash equivalents, short-term borrowings, FHLB stock, accrued interest receivable and payable, demand deposits, short-term debt, and variable rate loans or deposits that reprice frequently and fully. Security fair values are based on market prices or dealer quotes and, if no such information is available, on the rate and term of the security and information about the issuer. For fixed rate loans or deposits and for variable rate loans or deposits with infrequent repricing or repricing limits, fair value is based on discounted cash flows using current market rates applied to the estimated life and credit risk. Fair values for impaired loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis or underlying collateral values. The fair value of loans held for sale is based on market quotes. Fair value of debt is based on current rates for similar financing. The fair value of off-balance-sheet items is based on the current fees or cost that would be charged to enter into or terminate such arrangements.
Note 18: Regulatory Capital Requirements
      The Company is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet the minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possible additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s financial statements. Under the capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company must meet specific capital adequacy guidelines that involve quantitative measures of each entity’s assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classifications also are subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.

EVERGREENBANCORP, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
      Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require banks and bank holding companies to maintain the minimum amounts and ratios of total capital to risk-weighted assets, Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets, and Tier 1 capital to average assets as set forth in the table below. Under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company must maintain other minimum risk-based ratios as set forth in the table.
      The most recent notification from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well-capitalized, the Company must maintain the minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, and Tier 1 leverage ratios set forth in the table. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Company’s category. The Company’s regulatory capital includes trust preferred securities, which qualify up to 25 percent of Tier 1 Capital.
