AND SUBSIDIARY Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with instructions for Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all disclosures necessary for a complete presentation of financial condition, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. However, all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the interim unaudited financial statements have been included. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements included in the Riverview Bancorp, Inc. Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2006 ("2006 Form 10-K"). The results of operations for the six months ended September 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2007. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. On August 24, 2006 the Riverview Bancorp. Inc. common stock was split 2-for-1 in the form of a 100% stock dividend. Shareholders received one additional share for every share owned. The Board of Directors ("Board") declared the stock split on July 27, 2006 and the record date was August 10, 2006. All share and per share amounts (including stock options) in the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes were restated to reflect the split. 2. PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION The consolidated financial statements of Riverview Bancorp, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary (the "Company")[Not sure I understand distinction between Company and Bancorp) include all the accounts of the parent company, Riverview Bancorp, Inc. ("Bancorp") and the consolidated accounts of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Riverview Community Bank (the "Bank"), the Bank's wholly-owned subsidiary, Riverview Services, Inc., and the Bank's majority-owned subsidiary, Riverview Asset Management Corp. ("RAM Corp.") All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. 3. STOCK PLANS AND STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION In July 1998, shareholders of the Company approved the adoption of the 1998 Stock Option Plan ("1998 Plan"). The 1998 Plan was effective October 1, 1998 and will expire on the tenth anniversary of the effective date, unless terminated sooner by the Board. Under the 1998 Plan, the Company may grant both incentive and non-qualified stock options up to 714,150 shares of its common stock to officers, directors and employees. The exercise price of each option granted under the 1998 Plan equals the fair market value of the Company's stock on the date of the grant with a maximum term of ten years from date of grant and options vest zero to five years. At September 30, 2006, there were options for 36,962 shares available for the grant under the 1998 Plan. In July 2003, shareholders of the Company approved the adoption of the 2003 Stock Option Plan ("2003 Plan"). The 2003 Plan was effective July 2003 and will expire on the tenth anniversary of the effective date, unless terminated sooner by the Board. Under the 2003 Plan, the Company may grant both incentive and non-qualified stock options up to 458,554 shares of its common stock to officers, directors and employees. The exercise price of each option granted under the 2003 Plan equals the fair market value of the Company's stock on the date of grant with a maximum term of ten years from date of grant and options vest over zero to five years. At September 30, 2006, there were options for 144,554 shares available for grant under the 2003 Plan. On March 15, 2006, 314,000 stock options from the 2003 Plan were granted to officers and directors. Each option was granted at the fair market value of the Company's stock on the date of grant with a maximum term of 10 years from date of grant and were fully vested at grant date. All stock options have an exercise price that is equal to the fair market value of Company's stock on the date the options were granted. Options granted under the 2003 Plan generally vest over a zero to five year vesting period. Stock options granted have a 10-year maximum term. Options previously issued under the 1998 Plan are fully vested. 6 The following table presents information on stock options outstanding for the periods shown.

Six Months Ended Year Ended September 30, 2006 March 31, 2006 -------------------------------------------- Intrinsic value of options exercised in the period $158,350 $159,070 Stock options fully vested and expected to vest: Number 707,666 748,166 Weighted average exercise price $9.74 $9.67 Aggregate intrinsic value $2,654,666 $2,774,511 Weighted average contractual term of options 6.51 years 7.25 years Stock options vested and currently exercisable Number 675,546 690,886 Weighted average exercise price $9.73 $9.64 Aggregate intrinsic value $2,542,501 $2,584,305 Weighted average contractual term of options 6.15 years 6.52 years Effective April 1, 2006 the Company began recognizing compensation expense for stock options with the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123 (Revised), "Share-Based Payment," ("SFAS 123R"), using the modified prospective method. The fair value of each stock option granted is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes based stock option valuation model. The fair value of all awards was amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods, which are generally the vesting periods. The Black-Scholes model uses the assumptions listed in the table below. The expected life of options granted represents the period of time that they are expected to be outstanding. The expected life is determined based on historical experience with similar options, giving consideration to the contractual terms and vesting schedules. Expected volatility was estimated at the date of grant based on the historical volatility of the Company's stock. Expected dividends are based on dividend trends and the market value of the Company's stock at the time of grant. The risk-free interest rate for periods within the contractual life of the options is based on the U.S Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant. There were no options granted during the six months ended September 30, 2006. Risk Free Expected Expected Expected Interest Rate Life (years) Volatility Dividends ------------- ------------ ---------- --------- Fiscal 2006 4.67% 10.00 26.32% 3.07% 7 For the quarter ended September 30, 2006, the Company recognized pre-tax compensation expense related to stock options of approximately $11,000. For the six months ended September 30, 2006, the Company recognized pre-tax compensation expense related to stock options of approximately $21,000. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions established in SFAS 123R to stock-based compensation awards in the prior period. Three months ended Six months ended September 30, 2005 September 30, 2005 ------------------ ------------------ Net Income: As reported $2,562 $4,383 Deduct: Total stock based compensation expense determined under fair value based method for all options, net of related tax benefit (17) (105) ------ ------ Pro forma $2,545 $4,278 ====== ====== Earnings per common share - basic: As reported $ 0.23 $ 0.39 Pro forma 0.23 0.39 Earnings per common share-fully diluted: As reported $ 0.22 $ 0.39 Pro forma 0.22 0.38 4. EARNINGS PER SHARE Basic earnings per share ("EPS") is computed by dividing net income applicable to common stock by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, without considering any dilutive items. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income applicable to common stock by the weighted average number of common shares and common stock equivalents for items that are dilutive, net of shares assumed to be repurchased using the treasury stock method at the average share price for the Company's common stock during the period. Common stock equivalents arise from assumed conversion of outstanding stock options.

JUNIOR SUBORDINATED DEBENTURE Riverview Bancorp Statutory Trust I (the "Trust"), a wholly-owned subsidiary trust established by the Company, issued $7.0 million of Floating Rate Capital Securities (the "Trust Preferred Securities") in December 2005 with a liquidation value of $1,000 per share. The Trust Preferred Securities are due in 30 years, redeemable at par after five years and pay distributions at a floating rate based on London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"). The Trust Preferred Securities represent undivided beneficial interests in the Trust, which was established for the purpose of issuing the Trust Preferred Securities. The Trust Preferred Securities were sold in a private transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act") and have not been registered under the Act. The Trust Preferred Securities may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements. The Trust used the proceeds from the sale of the $7.0 million of Trust Preferred Securities and the sale of $217,000 of the trust's common securities to the Company to purchase $7.2 million of Floating Rate Junior Subordinated Debentures ("Debentures") of the Company. The Company's obligations under the Debentures and related documents, taken together, constitute a full and unconditional guarantee by the Company of the obligations of the trust. The Trust Preferred Securities are mandatory redeemable upon the maturity of the Debentures, or upon earlier redemption as provided by the Debenturess. The Company has the right to redeem the Debentures in whole or in part after year 5 on any coupon date, at a redemption price specified by the Debentures plus any accrued but unpaid interest to the redemption date. The Debentures issued by the Company to the Trust totaling $7.0 million, are reflected in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets in the liabilities section at September 30, 2006, under the caption "Junior subordinated debenture." Interest expense on the Debentures is recorded in the interest expense on borrowings in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company recorded $217,000 in other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at September 30, 2006, for the common capital securities issued by the Trust. Proceeds from the Trust Preferred Securities totaling $5.0 million were invested in the Bank and the Company retained the remaining $2.0 million for general corporate purposes. 14 The following table is a summary of the terms of the Trust Preferred Securities at September 30, 2006: Amount Issuance Out- Rate Initial Rate at Maturing Date standing Type (1) Rate 9/30/06 Date -------- -------- -------- ------- ------- -------- Issuance trust (Dollars in thousands) -------------- Riverview Bancorp, Inc.

The Trust Preferred Securities qualify as Tier 1 capital of the Bancorp to the extent permitted by Federal Reserve Board regulations. 14. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements." SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for the Company on April 1, 2008 and is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements. In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulleting No. 108 ("SAB 108"). SAB 108 provides interpretive guidance on how the effects of the carryover or reversal of prior year misstatements should be considered in quantifying a potential current year misstatement. Prior to SAB 108, Companies might evaluate the materiality of financial-statement misstatements using either the income statement or balance approach, with the income statement approach focusing on new misstatements added in the current year, and the balance sheet approach focusing on the cumulative amount of misstatement present in a company's balance sheet. Misstatements that would be material under one approach could be viewed as immaterial under another approach, and not be corrected. SAB 108 now requires that companies view financial statement misstatements as material if they are material according to either the income statement or balance sheet approach. SAB 108 is effective for the Company for all financial statements issued by the Company after November 15, 2006 and is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements. In July 2006, FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No 109 ("FIN 48"). FIN 48 establishes a recognition threshold and measurement for income tax positions recognized in an enterprise's financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN 48 also prescribes a two-step evaluation process for tax positions. The first step is recognition and the second is measurement. For recognition, an enterprise judgmentally determines whether it is more-likely-than-not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. If the tax position meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold it is measured and recognized in the financial statements. If a tax position does not meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the benefit of that position is not recognized in the financial statements. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold at the effective date of FIN 48 may be recognized or, continue to be recognized, upon adoption of this Interpretation. The cumulative effect of applying the provisions of FIN 48 shall be reported as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings for that fiscal year. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company is currently analyzing the effects of FIN 48. 15 15. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Off-balance sheet arrangements. The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments generally include commitments to originate mortgage, commercial and consumer loans, and involve to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheet. The Company's maximum exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the borrower is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. Because some commitments may expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. Commitments to extend credit are conditional and are honored for up to 45 days subject to the Company's usual terms and conditions. Collateral is not required to support commitments. The allowance for unfunded loan commitments was $385,000 at September 30, 2006. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily used to support public and private borrowing arrangements. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. Collateral held varies and is required in instances where the Bank deems necessary. The following is a summary of commitments and contingent liabilities with off-balance sheet risk as of September 30, 2006 (in thousands): Contract or Notional Amount ---------- Commitments to originate loans: Adjustable-rate $ 42,309 Fixed-rate 4,924 Standby letters of credit 1,989 Undisbursed loan funds, and unused lines of credit 189,977 -------- Total $239,199 ======== At September 30, 2006 the Company had firm commitments to sell $197,000 of residential loans to FHLMC. These agreements are short term fixed rate commitments and no material gain or loss is likely. Other Contractual Obligations. In connection with certain asset sales, the Bank typically makes representations and warranties about the underlying assets conforming to specified guidelines. If the underlying assets do not conform to the specifications, the Bank may have an obligation to repurchase the assets or indemnify the purchaser against loss. At September 30, 2006, loans under warranty totaled $111.7 million, which substantially represents the unpaid principal balance of the Company's loans serviced for others portfolio. The Bank believes that the potential for loss under these arrangements is remote. Accordingly, no contingent liability is recorded in the financial statements. At September 30, 2006 scheduled maturities of certificates of deposit, FHLB advances and future minimum operating lease commitments were as follows (in thousands): Over Over Within 1-3 3-5 Over Total 1 Year Years Years 5 Years Balance ------ ----- ----- ------- ------- Certificates of deposit $144,972 $51,391 $6,133 $3,917 $206,413 FHLB advances 85,000 5,000 - - 90,000 Operating leases 1,632 3,173 1,932 4,696 11,433 -------- ------- ------ ------ -------- Total other contractual obligations $231,604 $59,564 $8,065 $8,613 $307,846 ======== ======= ====== ====== ======== The Company is party to litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, these actions will not have a material adverse effect, if any, on the Company's financial position, results of operations, or liquidity. Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Results of Operations --------------------- Management's Discussion and Analysis and other portions of this report contain certain forward-looking statements concerning the future operations of the Company. Management desires to take advantage of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and is including this statement for the express purpose of availing the Company of the protections of the safe harbor with respect to all forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report. The Company has used forward-looking statements to describe future plans and strategies, including its expectations of future financial results. Management's ability to predict results or the effect of future plans or strategies is 16 inherently uncertain. Factors which could affect actual results include interest rate trends, the general economic climate in the Company's market area and the country as a whole, the ability of the Company to control costs and expenses, deposit flows, demand for mortgages and other loans, pricing of products and services, real estate values and vacancy rates, the ability of the Company to efficiently incorporate acquisitions into its operations, competition, loan delinquency rates, technological factors affecting operations and changes in federal and state regulation. These factors should be considered in evaluating the forward-looking statements, and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. The Company undertakes no obligation and specifically disclaims any obligation to publish revised forward-looking statements to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events or circumstances after the date hereof. These risks could cause our actual results for 2006 and beyond to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements by, or on behalf of, the Company. As used throughout this report, the terms "we", "our", "us", or the "Company" refer to Riverview Bancorp, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. Critical Accounting Policies Critical accounting policies and estimates are discussed in our 2006 Form 10-K under the heading "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation Critical Accounting Policies." That discussion highlights estimates the Company makes that involve uncertainty or potential for substantial change. There have not been any material changes in our critical accounting policies and estimates as compared to that contained in our disclosure in the Company's 2006 Form 10-K. Non-GAAP Financial Information This report contains certain financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). These measures include net interest income on a fully tax equivalent basis and net interest margin on a fully tax equivalent basis. Our management uses these non-GAAP measures in its analysis of our performance. The tax equivalent adjustment to net interest income recognizes the income tax savings when comparing taxable and tax-exempt assets and assumes a 34% tax rate. Management believes that it is a standard practice in the banking industry to present net interest income and net interest margin on a fully tax equivalent basis, and accordingly believes that providing these measures may be useful for peer comparison purposes. These disclosures should not be viewed as substitutes for the results determined to be in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies. Reconciliations of net interest income on a fully tax equivalent basis to net interest income and net interest margin [not clear what is being shown in the table] on a fully tax equivalent basis to net interest margin are contained in the tables under "Interest Expense." [amend as appropriate and add explanation re efficiency ratio] Executive Overview Financial Highlights. Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2006 was $3.0 million, or $0.26 per basic share ($0.26 per diluted share), compared to net income of $2.6 million, or $0.23 per basic share ($0.22 per diluted share) for the three months ended September 30, 2005. Net interest income after provision for loan losses increased $882,000 compared to the same quarter last year. Non-interest income increased in the categories of asset management fees, gain on sale of loans held for sale, loan servicing income and bank-owned life insurance. These increases were partially offset by decreases in fees and service charges and a smaller gain on sale of credit card portfolio. The Company's operating results also reflect the fact that non-interest expenses were relatively unchanged at $6.3 million for the periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005. The annualized return on average assets was 1.45% for the three months ended September 30, 2006, compared to 1.40% for the three months ended September 30, 2005. For the same periods, the annualized return on average common equity was 12.22% compared to 11.36% respectively. The efficiency ratio, which is defined as the percentage of non-interest expenses to total revenue excluding intangible asset amortization, was 54.31% for the second quarter of fiscal 2007 as compared to 58.28% for the same period last year. The Company is a progressive community-oriented financial institution, which emphasizes local, personal service to residents of its primary market area. The Company considers Clark, Cowlitz, Klickitat and Skamania counties of Washington along with Multnomah and Marion counties of Oregon as its primary market area. The Company is engaged primarily in the business of attracting deposits from the general public and using these funds in its primary market area to originate mortgage loans secured by commercial real estate, one- to four- family residential real estate, multi-family construction loans for these types of properties, and non-mortgage loans providing financing for business or "commercial" and consumer purposes. Commercial real estate loans (including commercial real estate construction loans) and commercial loans have grown from 30.0% and 7.98% of the loan portfolio, respectively, at March 31, 2002 to 58.7% and 17 9.4% of the loan portfolio, respectively, at September 30, 2006. A significant increase in loans came from the April 2005 acquisition of American Pacific Bank ("APB") . The Company's strategic plan includes targeting the commercial banking customer base in its primary market area, specifically small and medium size businesses, professionals and wealth building individuals. In pursuit of these goals, the Company emphasizes controlled growth and the diversification of its loan portfolio to include a significant amount of commercial and commercial real estate loans. A related goal is to increase the proportion of personal and business checking account deposits used to fund these new loans. Significant portions of our commercial and commercial real estate loans carry adjustable rates, higher yields or shorter terms and higher credit risk than traditional fixed-rat one- to four- family residential mortgages. Our strategic plan also stresses increased emphasis on non-interest income, including asset management fees and deposit service charges. Our strategic plan is designed to enhance earnings, reduce interest rate risk and provide a more complete range of financial services to customers and the local communities the Company serves. We believe we are well positioned to attract new customers and to increase our market share given that our administrative headquarters and ten of our 17 branches are located in Clark County, one of the fastest growing counties in the State of Washington according to the U.S. Census Bureau. The Company's acquisition of APB positions it for growth in the vibrant Portland, Oregon market as well. In order to support our strategy of growth without compromising local, personal service to customers and its commitment to asset quality, the Company has made significant investments in experienced branch, lending, asset management and support personnel and has incurred significant costs in facility expansion and in our infrastructure. The Company's non-interest expense reflect this investment and will remain relatively high as a percentage of our average assets for the foreseeable future due to the emphasis on growth and local, personal service. Controlling our non-interest expenses remains a high priority for the Company's management. The Company continuously reviews new products and services to provide its customers more financial options. With our emphasis on the growth of non-interest income and control of non-interest expense, all new technology and services are generally reviewed for business development and cost saving purposes. In-house processing of checks and check imaging has supported the Bank's increased service to customers and at the same time has increased efficiency. The Company continues to experience growth in customer use of online banking services. Our customers are able to conduct a full range of services on a real-time basis, including balance inquiries, transfers and electronic bill paying. Our online service has also enhanced the delivery of cash management services to commercial customers. With our home office and six branches located in Vancouver, Washington and branch offices located in Camas, Washougal, Stevenson, White Salmon, Battle Ground, Goldendale and Longview, Washington, the Company continues to provide local, personal service to its customers located in Southwest Washington. The acquisition of APB resulted in three offices in Oregon, two in the Portland metropolitan area and one in Aumsville, Oregon. The market area for lending and deposit taking activities encompasses Clark, Cowlitz, Skamania and Klickitat Counties throughout the Columbia River Gorge area of Washington, and Multnomah and Marion Counties in Oregon. The Company operates a trust and financial services company, RAMCorp., located in downtown Vancouver. Riverview Mortgage, a mortgage broker division of the Company, originates mortgage (including construction) loans for various mortgage companies in the Portland metropolitan area, as well as for the Bank. Riverview Services, Inc. acts as trustee for deeds of trust on mortgage loans granted by the Bank. Business banking services are offered by the Business and Professional Banking Division located at both the downtown Vancouver and Portland branches. Vancouver, located in Clark County, is north of Portland, Oregon. Several large employers including Sharp Microelectronics, Hewlett Packard, Georgia Pacific, Underwriters Laboratory and Wafer Tech are located in Southwestern Washington. Major employers in Portland include Intel Corp., Providence Health System, Fred Meyer, Legacy Health System and Kaiser Permanente. In addition to the expanding industry base, the Columbia River Gorge is a popular tourist destination, generating revenue for all the communities within the area. As a result, the area's economy has become less dependent on the timber industry. Comparison of Financial Condition at September 30, 2006 and March 31, 2006 At September 30, 2006, the Company had total assets of $844.4 million, compared with $763.8 million at March 31, 2006. The $80.6 million increase in total assets was primarily attributable to the organic growth in the loan portfolio and increase in cash. Cash, including interest-earning accounts, totaled $43.4 million at September 30, 2006, compared to $31.3 million at March 31, 2006. Loans held for sale at September 30, 2006 totaled $197,000, compared to $65,000 at March 31, 2006. The balance of loans held for sale can vary significantly from period to period reflecting the interest rate environment, loan demand by borrowers, and loan origination for sale by mortgage brokers versus loan origination for the Company's loan portfolio. The Company originates fixed-rate residential loans for sale in the secondary market and retains the related loan servicing 18 rights. Selling fixed interest rate mortgage loans allows the Company to reduce the interest rate risk associated with long term, fixed interest rate products. The sale of loans also makes additional funds available to make new loans and diversify the loan portfolio. The Company continues to service the loans it sells, maintaining the customer relationship and generating ongoing non-interest income. Loans receivable, net, totaled $690.7 million at September 30, 2006, compared to $623.0 million at March 31, 2006, an increase of $67.6 million. Increases were experienced in residential loans of $3.1 million, one-to-four family construction loans of $9.5 million, commercial real estate construction loans of $4.4 million, commercial of $6.2 million, land of $13.4 million and commercial real estate of $30.5 million. A substantial portion of the loan portfolio is secured by real estate, either as primary or secondary collateral, located in the Company's primary market areas. Investment securities available-for-sale totaled $23.0 million at September 30, 2006, compared to $24.0 million at March 31, 2006. The decrease was attributable to maturities and scheduled cash flows. Mortgage-backed securities available-for-sale totaled $7.4 million at September 30, 2006, compared to $8.1 million at March 31, 2006. The decrease is attributable to maturities and scheduled cash flows. Goodwill was $25.6 million at September 30, 2006 and March 31, 2006. As of September 30, 2006, there have been no events or changes in circumstances that would indicate a potential impairment. Core deposit intangible decreased $96,000 to $799,000 at September 30, 2006 from $895,000 at March 31, 2006 due to amortization. Bank owned life insurance increased to $13.4 million at September 30, 2006, from $13.7 million at March 31, 2006, reflecting an increase in the cash surrender value of the policies. Deposits totaled $640.4 million at September 30, 2006, compared to $607.0 million at March 31, 2006. As market interest rates have increased, the balances in the interest checking accounts and money market deposit accounts have increased. At September 30, 2006 the balance of interest checking accounts had increased $24.2 million to $153.6 million from $129.4 million at March 31, 2006. Money market deposit accounts totaled $145.6 million at September 30, 2006 compared to $137.4 million at March 31, 2006. Certificates of deposit balance at September 30, 2006 and March 31, 2006 were $206.4 million and $207.1 million, respectively. FHLB advances totaled $90.0 million at September 30, 2006 and $46.1 million at March 31, 2006. This $43.9 million increase along with our deposit growth was used to fund the increases in our loan portfolio and cash accounts. Shareholders' Equity and Capital Resources Shareholders' equity increased $4.1 million to $95.8 million at September 30, 2006 from $91.7 million at March 31, 2006. The increase in equity of $5.6 million from earnings for the six months was partially offset by cash dividends declared to shareholders of $2.2 million. Exercise of stock options, earned ESOP shares and the net of tax effect of SFAS No. 115 adjustment to securities comprised the remaining $700,000 increase. The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS"). Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Bank's financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank's assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated in accordance with regulatory accounting practices. The Bank's capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk, weightings and other factors. Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of total capital to risk-weighted assets, Tier I capital to risk-weighted assets, core capital to total assets and tangible capital to tangible assets (set forth in the table below). Management believes the Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject as of September 30, 2006. To be categorized as "well capitalized," the Bank must maintain minimum total capital and Tier I capital to risk-weighted assets, core capital to total assets and tangible capital to tangible assets (set forth in the table below). There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Bank's category. 19 The Bank's actual and required minimum capital amounts and ratios are presented in the following table (dollars in thousands): Categorized as "Well Capitalized" For Under Prompt Capital Corrective Adequacy Action Actual Purposes Provision ----------------------------------------------- Amount Ratio Amount Ratio Amount Ratio ------ ----- ------ ----- ------ ----- September 30, 2006 Total Capital: (To Risk-Weighted Assets) $79,975 10.76% $59,483 8.0% $74,354 10.0% Tier I Capital: (To Risk-Weighted Assets) 71,951 9.68 29,741 4.0 44,612 6.0 Tier I Capital: (To Adjusted Tangible Assets) 71,951 8.85 24,383 3.0 40,639 5.0 Tangible Capital: (To Tangible Assets) 71,951 8.85 12,192 1.5 N/A N/A Categorized as "Well Capitalized" For Under Prompt Capital Corrective Adequacy Action Actual Purposes Provision ----------------------------------------------- Amount Ratio Amount Ratio Amount Ratio ------ ----- ------ ----- ------ ----- March 31, 2006 Total Capital: (To Risk-Weighted Assets) $78,469 11.48% $54,688 8.0% $68,361 10.0% Tier I Capital: (To Risk-Weighted Assets) 71,248 10.42 27,344 4.0 41,016 6.0 Tier I Capital: (To Adjusted Tangible Assets) 71,248 9.70 22,038 3.0 36,730 5.0 Tangible Capital: (To Tangible Assets) 71,248 9.70 11,019 1.5 N/A N/A The following table is a reconciliation of the Bank's capital, calculated according to generally accepted accounting principles to regulatory tangible and risk-based capital at September 30, 2006 (in thousands): Equity $ 98,573 Net unrealized securities loss 170 Goodwill and other intangibles (26,755) Servicing asset (37) -------- Tangible capital 71,951 General valuation allowance 8,024 -------- Total capital $ 79,975 ======== Liquidity The Bank's primary sources of funds are customer deposits, proceeds from principal and interest payments on loans, proceeds from the sale of loans, maturing securities and FHLB advances. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans are a predictable source of funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition. The Bank must maintain an adequate level of liquidity to ensure the availability of sufficient funds to fund loan originations ,deposit withdrawals and continuing operations, satisfy other financial commitments and take advantage of investment opportunities. The Bank generally maintains sufficient cash and short-term investments to meet short-term liquidity needs. At September 30, 2006, cash totaled $43.5 million, or 5.1%, of total assets. The Bank has a line of credit with the FHLB of Seattle in the amount of 30% of total assets to the extent the Bank provides qualifying collateral and holds sufficient FHLB stock. At September 30, 2006, the Bank had $90.0 million in outstanding advances from the FHLB of Seattle under an 20 available credit facility of $237.9 million, limited to available collateral. The Bank also had a $10.0 million line of credit available from Pacific Coast Bankers Bank and a $5.0 million borrowing capability at the Federal Reserve discount window at September 30, 2006. The Bank had no borrowings outstanding under either of these credit arrangements at September 30, 2006. Sources of capital and liquidity for the Company on a stand-alone basis include distributions from the Bank and the issuance of debt or equity securities. Dividends and other capital distributions from the Bank are subject to regulatory restrictions. Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Other Contractual Obligations Through the normal course of operations, the Company enters into certain contractual obligations and other commitments. Obligations generally relate to funding of operations through deposits and borrowings as well as leases for premises. Commitments generally relate to lending operations. The Company has obligations under long-term operating leases, principally for building space and land. Lease terms generally cover a five-year period, with options to extend, and are not subject to cancellation. The Company has commitments to originate fixed and variable rate mortgage loans to customers. Because some commitments expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Undisbursed loan funds and unused lines of credit include funds not disbursed, but committed to construction projects and home equity and commercial lines of credit. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. For further information regarding the Company's off-balance sheet arrangements and other contractual obligations, see Note 16 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained herein. Asset Quality The allowance for loan losses was $8.3 million at September 30, 2006 and $7.2 million at March 31, 2006. Management believes the allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2006 is adequate to cover probable credit losses existing in the loan portfolio at that date. The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level sufficient to provide for estimated loan losses based on evaluating known and inherent risks in the loan portfolio. Pertinent factors considered include size and composition of the portfolio, actual loss experience, industry trends and data, current economic conditions, and detailed analysis of individual loans. The appropriate allowance level is estimated based upon factors and trends identified by management at the time the consolidated financial statements are prepared. Commercial loans are considered to involve a higher degree of credit risk than one to four-family residential loans, and tend to be more vulnerable to adverse conditions in the real estate market and deteriorating economic conditions. While management believes the estimates and assumptions used in its determination of the adequacy of the allowance are reasonable, no assurances, however, can be given that such estimates and assumptions will not be proven incorrect in the future, or that the actual amount of future provisions will not exceed the amount of past provisions or that any increased provisions that may be required will not adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the determination of the amount of the Bank's allowance for loan losses is subject to review by bank regulators, as part of the routine examination process, which may result in the establishment of additional reserves based upon their judgment of information available to them at the time of their examination. Non-performing assets were $1.7 million, or 0.20% of total assets at September 30, 2006, compared with $415,000 or 0.05% of total assets at March 31, 2006. The $1.7 million balance of nonaccrual loans is composed of one commercial loan and two commercial real estate loans. The following table sets forth information regarding the Company's non-performing assets. 21 September 30, 2006 March 31, 2006 ------------------ -------------- (Dollars in thousands) Loans accounted for on a nonaccrual basis: Commercial real estate $1,659 $415 Commercial 45 - Consumer - - ------ ---- Total 1,704 415 ------ ---- Accruing loans which are contractually past due 90 days or more - - ------ ---- Total of nonaccrual and 90 days past due loans 1,704 415 ------ ---- Real estate owned (net) - - ------ ---- Total non-performing assets $1,704 $415 ====== ==== Total loans delinquent 90 days or more to net loans 0.24% 0.07% Total loans delinquent 90 days or more to total assets 0.20% 0.05% Total non-performing assets to total assets 0.20% 0.05% As of September 30, 2006 and March 31, 2006, other loans of concern totaled $4.2 million and $3.7 million, respectively. Other loans of concern consist of loans with respect to which known information concerning possible credit problems with the borrowers or the cash flows of the collateral securing the respective loans has caused management to be concerned about the ability of the borrowers to comply with present loan repayment terms, which may result in the future inclusion of such loans in the nonaccrual category. Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 Net Interest Income. The Company's profitability depends primarily on its net interest income, which is the difference between the income it receives on interest-earning assets and its cost of funds, which consists of interest paid on deposits and borrowings. Net interest income is also affected by the relative amounts of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. When interest-earning assets equal or exceed interest-bearing liabilities, any positive interest rate spread will generate net interest income. The level of non-interest income and expenses also affects the Company's profitability. Non-interest income includes deposit service fees, income associated with the origination and sale of mortgage loans, brokering loans, loan servicing fees, income from real estate owned, net gains on sales of assets, bank-owned life insurance income and asset management fee income. Non-interest expenses include compensation and benefits, occupancy and equipment expenses, deposit insurance premiums, data servicing expenses and other operating costs. The Company's results of operations are also significantly affected by general economic and competitive conditions, particularly changes in market interest rates, government legislation and regulation, and monetary and fiscal policies. Net interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2006 was $9.1 million, representing a $1.0 million, or 12.8% increase, from $8.1 million during the same prior year period. This improvement reflected a 11.8% increase in the average balance of interest earning assets as a result of increased loan originations primarily in commercial loans, partially offset by a 13.4% increase in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities to $610.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006 from $538.5 million for the comparable period in 2005 primarily as a result of the increase in FHLB borrowings and to a lesser extent, deposit growth. Average interest-earning assets to average interest-bearing liabilities totaled 119.63% for the three-month period ended September 30, 2006 compared to 121.34% in the same prior year period. The net interest margin for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 was 4.97% compared to 4.93% at September 30, 2005, respectively. The Bank's sizeable adjustable rate loan portfolio and emphasis on consumer, commercial loans and construction loans with relatively short-terms to maturity has contributed to minimizing the negative impact of the currently slightly inverted yield curve. Interest Income. Interest income increased $3.7 million, or 31.5%, to $15.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006 compared to $11.6 million, for the three months ended September 30, 2005. The yield on interest- 22 earning assets was 8.32% for the three months ended September 30, 2006 compared to 7.08% for the same three months ended September 30, 2005. The Federal Reserve Board has increased federal funds interest rates eight times, resulting in improved yields on both loans and investments upon repricing to the higher current interest rates. The Bank did not receive a dividend on FHLB of Seattle stock during the quarters ended September 30, 2006 and September 30, 2005. The FHLB of Seattle has been operating under a regulatory directive since May 2005 and has announced that all future dividends will be suspended until its financial position and performance improve. Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $2.7 million to $6.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006, or 74.4% compared to $3.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005. Average interest-bearing liabilities increased $72.0 million to $610.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006 compared to $538.5 million for the same prior year period. The significant increase in interest expense primarily resulted from the higher rates of interest paid on deposits and FHLB borrowings attributable to Federal Reserve Board short-term interest rate increases during the last year. The weighted average interest rate on total deposits increased to 3.76% for the three months ended September 30, 2006 from 2.46% for the same period in the prior year. The weighted average cost of FHLB borrowings, junior subordinated debenture and capital lease obligations increased to 5.46% for the three months ended September 30, 2006 from 4.16% for same period in the prior year. 23 The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, information regarding average balances of assets and liabilities as well as the total dollar amounts of interest income from average interest-earning assets and interest expense on average interest-bearing liabilities, resultant yields, interest rate spread, ratio of interest-earning assets to interest-bearing liabilities and net interest margin.

The provision for loan losses for the three months ended September 30, 2006 was $600,000, compared to $450,000 for the same period in the prior year. Net recoveries for the current period were $37,000, compared to net charge-offs of $224,000 for the same period last year. The ratio of allowance for credit losses and unfunded loan commitments to total net loans was 1.24% at September 30, 2006, compared to 1.22% at September 30, 2005. Annualized net recoveries to average net loans for the three-month period ended September 30, 2006 was 0.02% compared to annualized net charge-offs of 0.15% for the same period in the prior year. During the quarter ended September 30, 2006, management evaluated known and inherent risks in the loan portfolio and based on the analysis and changes were made in the estimation, assumptions and allocation of the allowance for loan losses to reflect the changing housing market. The estimated loan loss rate was increased by 0.125% to 1.125% for speculative construction loans [for properties not under contract], land and lots for development loans and raw land loans to cover the probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio. Management considered the allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2006 to be adequate to cover probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio based on the assessment of various factors affecting the loan portfolio as described above under "Asset Quality". Non-Interest Income. Non-interest income decreased $200,000 to $2.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 compared to $2.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2005. Increases in asset management fees, loan servicing income, gains on sale of loans held for sale and bank owned life insurance partially offset the lower fees and service charges and gains on sale of credit card portfolio. The decrease of $149,000 in fees and service charges reflects the sale during the second quarter of fiscal year 2006 of the credit card portfolio acquired from APB and reduced mortgage broker fee income. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2007, the Bank sold another credit card portfolio with a balance of approximately $475,000 for a gain of $66,000. These sales from our credit card portfolio contributed to the decline in credit card fees during the current quarter of approximately $95,000 when compared to the same period in the prior year. Asset management fees from fiduciary services increased by $113,000 to $455,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2006, compared to $342,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2005. RAM Corp. had $276.3 million in total assets under management at September 30, 2006, compared to $212.3 million at September 30, 2005. 25 In the current quarter, gains on the sale of loans increased $34,000 to $111,000 as mortgage refinance activity increased our ability to originate loans for sale compared to $77,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2005. Non-Interest Expense. Non-interest expense remained relatively unchanged at $6.3 million unchanged for both three-month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005. The principal component of the Company's non-interest expense is salaries and employee benefits. For the three months ended September 30, 2006, salaries and employee benefits, which include mortgage broker commission compensation, was $3.5 million, compared to $3.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005. Occupancy and depreciation expense totaled $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006, compared to $883,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2005. The increase in occupancy and depreciation expense reflects the opening in Clark county of the Tech Center branch in the fourth quarter last year and expenses related to the Riverview Service Center, the Bank's operations center, which opened in the third quarter of fiscal year 2006. Data processing expense decreased by $151,000 to $222,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the $373,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2005. The $151,000 decrease reflects savings from the April 2006 change in service bureaus that perform the Bank's core computer system processing. The amortization expense of core deposit intangible ("CDI") was $46,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2006 compared to $55,000 for the prior year period. The acquisition of APB and its $79.8 million in deposits created a $526,000 CDI, representing the excess of cost over fair market value of acquired deposits. The acquisition of Today's Bank in July 2003 created CDI of $820,000. CDI is amortized over a ten-year life using an accelerated amortization method. Professional fees totaled $198,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2006; a $190,000 decrease compared to the $388,000 total for the three months ended September 30, 2005. Professional fees were higher for the second quarter of the prior year due to costs related to the implementation of the Sarbanes-Oxley regulations. Other non-interest expense decreased $15,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2006 to $536,000, compared to $551,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2005. Provision for Income Taxes. Provision for income taxes was $1.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006, compared to $1.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005. The effective tax rate for three months ended September 30, 2006 was 34.6% compared to 33.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2005. The effective tax rate increased from the prior year's quarter primarily as a result of phase in to higher statutory tax rate of 35% due to higher income [is this phase in due to higher income?] and state income taxes related to Oregon operations. The Bank has three branches in Oregon as a result of acquiring APB. The Company's overall effective tax rate at September 30, 2006 takes into account the estimated Oregon apportionment factors for property, payroll and sales. Comparison of Operating Results for the Six Months Ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 Financial Highlights. Net income for the six months ended September 30, 2006 was $5.6 million, or $0.50 per basic share ($0.49 per diluted share), compared to net income of $4.4 million, or $0.39 per basic share ($0.39 per diluted share) for the six months ended September 30, 2005. The Company's improved operating results reflect growth in average interest earning-assets and interest-bearing liabilities, combined with a $133,000 gain on the sale of credit card portfolios. The annualized return on average assets was 1.41% for the six months ended September 30, 2006, compared to 1.25% for the six months ended September 30, 2005. For the same periods, the annualized return on average common equity was 11.70% compared to 10.19%. The Company's efficiency ratio (non-interest expense divided by net interest income plus non-interest income was 57.84% for the six months ended September 30, 2006 as compared to 62.21% compared to the same period in the prior year. Net Interest Income. Net interest income for the six months ended September 30, 2006 was $18.1 million, representing a $3.1 million, or a 19.4% increase, compared to $15.2 million for the same prior year period. This improvement reflected a 12.7% increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets (primarily increases in the average balance of commercial loans, partially offset by a decrease in the average balance of residential mortgage loans, and mortgage-backed securities, investment securities and daily interest earning accounts) to $711.4 million. The increase in interest-earning assets was offset by a 13.5% increase in average balance of interest-bearing liabilities (an increase in all deposit categories except savings accounts) to $592.7 million. The ratio of average interest-earning assets to average interest-bearing liabilities decreased slightly to 120.03% in the six-month period ended September 30, 2006 from 120.91% in the same prior year 26 period. The ratio indicates that the interest-earning asset growth is being funded more by interest-bearing liabilities as compared to capital and non-interest-bearing demand deposits. Interest Income. Interest income totaled $29.5 million and $21.9 million, for the six months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The increased interest income of $7.6 million reflects the 12.7% increase in the average balance of interest earning assets for the current six month period compared to the same period in the prior year, which was attributable to increased loan originations. The yield on interest-earning assets was 8.28% for the six months ended September 30, 2006 compared to 6.92% for the six months ended September 30, 2005. The increased yield in all loan categories reflects the increase in the prime rate and other indices used to originate and reprice our loans as a result of the Federal Reserve Board increasing short-term interest rates during this period. Interest Expense. Interest expense was $11.4 million for the six months ended September 30, 2006 an increase of 70.4% from $6.7 million for the same period in the prior year. Average interest-bearing liabilities increased $70.5 million to $592.7 million for the six months ended September 30, 2006 from $522.1 million for the same prior year period. The change in interest expense reflects the higher market rates of interest paid on deposits and FHLB borrowings and the increased balance of interest-bearing liabilities when comparing average balances at September 30, 2006 and September 30, 2005. The weighted average interest rate on total deposits increased to 3.58% for the six months ended September 30, 2006 from 2.34% for the same period in the prior year. The weighted average interest rate of FHLB borrowings, junior subordinated debenture and capital lease obligations increased to 5.32% for the six months ended September 30, 2006 from 4.41% for same period in the prior year. 27 Six Months Ended September 30, --------------------------------------------------- 2006 2005 ------------------------ ------------------------ Interest Interest Average and Yield/ Average and Yield/ Balance Dividends Cost Balance Dividends Cost ------- --------- ------ ------- --------- ------ (Dollars in thousands) Interest-earning assets: Mortgage loans $568,206 $24,505 8.60% $457,198 $17,303 7.55% Non-mortgage loans 97,023 4,098 8.42 99,490 3,304 6.62 -------- ------- ------ -------- ------- ------ Total net loans (1) 665,229 28,603 8.58 556,688 20,607 7.38 Mortgage-backed securities(2) 9,640 223 4.61 13,146 283 4.29 Investment securities(2)(3) 23,413 569 4.85 24,068 550 4.56 Daily interest-bearing assets 5,523 141 5.09 30,200 475 3.14 Other earning assets (4) 7,567 7 0.18 7,205 - - -------- ------- ------ -------- ------- ------ Total interest-earning assets 711,372 29,543 8.28 631,307 21,915 6.92 Non-interest-earning assets: Office properties and equipment, net 19,328 9,364 Other non-interest- earning assets 61,777 58,309 -------- -------- Total assets $792,477 $698,980 ======== ======== Interest-bearing liabilities: Regular savings accounts $ 35,283 97 0.55% $ 38,112 105 0.55% Interest checking accounts 137,809 2,105 3.05 128,090 907 1.41 Money market deposit accounts 137,948 2,781 4.02 113,339 1,371 2.41 Certificates of deposit 198,041 4,147 4.18 191,076 3,147 3.28 -------- ------- ------ -------- ------- ------ Total deposits 509,081 9,130 3.58 470,617 5,530 2.34 Other interest-bearing liabilities 83,598 2,230 5.32 51,497 1,138 4.41 -------- ------- ------ -------- ------- ------ Total interest-bearing liabilities 592,679 11,360 3.82 522,114 6,668 2.55 Non-interest-bearing liabilities: Non-interest-bearing deposits 95,602 83,149 Other liabilities 8,701 7,904 -------- -------- Total liabilities 696,982 613,167 Shareholders' equity 95,495 85,813 -------- -------- Total liabilities and shareholders' equity $792,477 $698,980 ======== ======== Net interest income $18,183 $15,247 ======= ======= Interest rate spread 4.46% 4.37% ====== ====== Net interest margin 5.10% 4.82% ====== ====== Ratio of average interest-earning assets to average interest-bearing liabilities 120.03% 120.91% ====== ====== Tax Equivalent Adjustment (3) $ 43 $ 54 ======= ======= (1) Includes non-accrual loans.

The provision for loan losses for the six months ended September 30, 2006 was $950,000, compared to $900,000 for the same period in the prior year. Net recoveries for the six months ended September 30, 2006 were $92,000, compared to $431,000 net charge offs for the same period of last year. The ratio of allowance for loan losses to total net loans increased to 1.18% from 1.15% at September 30, 2005. Annualized net recoveries to average net loans for the six-month period ended September 30, 2006 was 0.03% compared to annualized net charge-offs of 0.15% for the same period in the prior year. During the six months ended September 30, 2006, management evaluated known and inherent risks in the loan portfolio and changes were made in the estimation, assumptions and allocation of the allowance for loan losses to reflect the changing housing market. The estimated loan loss rate was increased by 0.125% to 1.125% for land and lots for development, speculative construction loans (for properties not under contract) and raw land loans. Management considered the allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2006 to be adequate to cover probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio based on the assessment of various factors affecting the loan portfolio as described above under "Asset Quality". Non-Interest Income. Non-interest income decreased $263,000 or 5.6%, to $4.4 million for the six months ended September 30, 2006 from $4.7 million for the six months ended September 30, 2005. The decrease reflected the impact of reduced credit card due to the sale of credit card portfolios as discussed above and the decrease in mortgage broker fees. For the six months ended September 30, 2006 credit card fees included in fees and service charges decreased by $234,000 compared to the same period in the prior year. Loan servicing income for the six months ended September 30, 2006 includes a $13,000 write-up to the market value of mortgage servicing rights as compared to an $11,000 write-up in market value of mortgage servicing rights for the same prior year period. For the same six-month periods in 2006 and 2005, loan-servicing income also included amortization of mortgage servicing rights of $97,000 and $132,000, respectively. Asset management services income was $891,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2006, compared to $706,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2005. RAMCorp. had $276.3 million in total assets under management at September 30, 2006, compared to $212.3 million at September 30, 2005. 29 Non-Interest Expense. Non-interest expense increased $685,000, or 5.5%, to $13.0 million for the six month period ended September 30, 2006, compared to $12.4 million for the six months ended September 30, 2005. The principal component of the Company's non-interest expense is salaries and employee benefits. For the six months ended September 30, 2006, salaries and employee benefits, which include mortgage broker commission compensation, was $7.4 million, an increase of 7.7% from $6.8 million for the six months ended September 30, 2005. Full-time equivalent employees increased to 256 at September 30, 2006 from 237 at September 30, 2005, which is principally attributable to the increase in branch and loan support staff. The addition of the Riverview Service Center, the Bank's operations center and Tech Center branch contributed to increases in occupancy, depreciation, data processing, telecommunication and other expense. The amortization of CDI was $96,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2006 compared to $104,000 for the same period in the prior year. Data processing expense totaled $557,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2006, a $181,000 decrease from the same period in prior year reflecting the savings from the April 2006 conversion to a new service bureau performing the Bank's core computer processing. Provision for Federal Income Taxes. Provision for federal income taxes was $3.0 million for the six months ended September 30, 2006, compared to $2.2 million for the six months ended September 30, 2005 as a result of higher income before taxes. The effective tax rate for the six months ended September 30, 2006 was 34.5% compared to 33.6% for the six months ended September 30, 2005. The Company's overall effective tax rate at September 30, 2006 takes into account Oregon apportionment factors for property, payroll and sales. Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk The Company's Asset Liability Committee is responsible for implementing the interest rate risk policy, which sets forth limits established by the Board of Directors of acceptable changes in net interest income, and the portfolio value from specified changes in interest rates. The OTS defines net portfolio value as the present value of expected cash flows from existing assets minus the present value of expected cash flows from existing liabilities plus the present value of expected cash flows from existing off-balance sheet contracts. The Asset Liability Committee reviews, among other items, economic conditions, the interest rate outlook, the demand for loans, the availability of deposits and borrowings, and the Company's current operating results, liquidity, capital and interest rate exposure. In addition, the Asset Liability Committee monitors asset and liability characteristics on a regular basis and performs analyses to determine the potential impact of various business strategies in controlling interest rate risk and other potential impact of these strategies upon future earnings under various interest rate scenarios. Based on these reviews, the Asset Liability Committee formulates a strategy that is intended to implement the objectives contained in its business plan without exceeding limits set forth in the Company's interest rate risk policy for losses in net interest income and net portfolio value. There has not been any material change in the market risk disclosures contained in the 2006 Form 10-K. Item 4. Controls and Procedures An evaluation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13(a) - 15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) was carried out as of September 30, 2006 under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and several other members of the Company's senior management as of the end of the period covered by this report. As of April 22, 2006, the Company transitioned its financial core processing systems to new platforms. Implementation of the new systems necessarily involved changes to our procedures for control over financial reporting. The new systems were subjected to extensive testing prior to and after April 22, 2006. We have not experienced any significant difficulties to date in connection with the implementation or operation of the new system. We have not fully tested application controls covering this new system, but we plan to do so during the current year in connection with management's assessment of internal controls over financial reporting. The Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 is (i) accumulated and communicated to the Company's management (including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer) in a timely manner, and (ii) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. In the quarter ended September 30, 2006, except as referenced above, the Company did not make any changes in its internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect these controls. The Company intends to continually review and evaluate the design and effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures and to improve its controls and procedures over time and to correct any deficiencies that it may discover in the future. The 30 goal is to ensure that senior management has timely access to all material financial and non-financial information concerning the Company's business. While the Company believes the present design of its disclosure controls and procedures is effective to achieve its goal, future events affecting its business may cause the Company to modify its disclosure controls and procedures. The Company does not expect that its disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting will prevent all error and fraud. A control procedure, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control procedure are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control procedures, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns in controls or procedures can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any control procedure is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control procedure, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. 31 (b) RIVERVIEW BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY PART II.
