NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared by Pacific
Financial Corporation ("Pacific" or the "Company") in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim
financial information and with instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do
not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management, adjustments (consisting of
normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2003, are
not necessarily indicative of the results anticipated for the year ending
December 31, 2003. The December 31, 2002 condensed balance sheet is derived from
the audited consolidated financial statements.
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 the 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 revenues and expenses
during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
All dollar amounts in tables, except per share information, are stated in
thousands.
2. Investment Securities
Investment securities consist principally of short and intermediate term debt
instruments issued by the U.S. Treasury, other U.S. government agencies, state
and local government units, and other corporations.

6. Computation of Pro Forma Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share:
At March 31, 2003, the Company has a stock-based employee compensation plan. The
Company accounts for the plan under recognition and measurement principles of
APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related
interpretations. No stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in net
income, as all options granted under this plan had an exercise price equal to
the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The
following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share had
the Company applied the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No.
123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to stock-based employee
compensation.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
A WARNING ABOUT FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
This document contains forward-looking statements that are subject to risks
and uncertainties. These statements are based on the beliefs and assumptions of
our management, and on information currently available to them. Forward-looking
statements include the information concerning our possible future results of
operations set forth under "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations" and statements preceded by, followed by or
that include the words "believes," "expects," "anticipates," "intends," "plans,"
"estimates" or similar expressions.
Any forward-looking statements in this document are subject to risks
relating to, among other things, the following:
1. competitive pressures among depository and other financial
institutions may impede our ability to attract and retain borrowers,
depositors and other customers;
2. changes in the interest rate environment may reduce margins;
3. general economic or business conditions, either nationally or in
the state or regions in which we do business, may be less favorable than
expected, resulting in, among other things, a deterioration in credit
quality, including as a result of lower prices in the real estate market,
or a reduced demand for credit;
4. legislative or regulatory changes may adversely affect the
businesses in which we are engaged; and
5. the securities markets may continue to experience a downturn.
Our management believes the forward-looking statements are reasonable;
however, you should not place undue reliance on them. Forward-looking statements
are not guarantees of performance. They involve risks, uncertainties and
assumptions. Many of the factors that will determine our future results and
share value are beyond our ability to control or predict. We undertake no
obligation to update forward-looking statements.
NET INCOME. For the three months ended March 31, 2003, Pacific's net income was
$1,112,000 compared to $408,000 for the same period in 2002. The most
significant factor contributing to the increase was a decrease in the provision
for credit losses from $954,000 to zero, partially offset by an increase in the
provision for income taxes. During the first quarter of 2002, management
performed additional analysis on the loan portfolio upon the hiring of a new
chief credit officer and received updated appraisals on some large credits that
warranted additional provisions during February 2002. Management's current year
analysis of the loan portfolio did not warrant an additional provision for
credit losses at this time.
-10-
NET INTEREST INCOME. Net interest income for the three months ended March 31,
2003 increased $114,000, or 3.9%, compared to the same period in 2002. This is
due primarily to increased investment income and decreased interest expense.
Interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2003, increased $42,000, or
1.1%, compared to the comparable period in 2002. Securities balances were higher
during the three months ended March 31, 2003, compared to the three months ended
March 31, 2002 due to the purchases of securities during the third and fourth
quarters of 2002. This increase in securities resulted in higher interest income
of $101,000 on securities. On the other hand, the lower interest rates earned on
loans during the period ended March 31, 2003 due to the 50 basis point drop in
the prime rate during the fourth quarter of 2002 resulted in decreased loan
interest income of $44,000 compared to the same period in 2002. Average total
loans outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2003, and March 31, 2002,
were $186,953,000, and $181,257,000, respectively, or an increase of 3.1% in
2003 over 2002.
Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2003 decreased $72,000, or
7.4%, compared to the same period in 2002. Average interest-bearing deposit
balances for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and March 31, 2002 were
$189,499,000 and $177,368,000, respectively, representing an increase of 6.8%
compared to last year's period. The increase is attributable primarily to growth
in commercial demand deposits, public deposits and retail certificates of
deposit. Average short term borrowings and federal funds purchased for the
periods were $1,542,000 and $3,766,000, respectively, a decrease of 59.1% over
the 2002 period. Average long term borrowings for the three months ended March
31, 2003 were $11,806,000 compared to $4,000,000 for the same period in 2002.
The Company borrowed funds from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Seattle to
purchase investment securities during the third and fourth quarters of 2002.
PROVISION AND ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES. The allowance for credit losses
reflects management's current estimate of the amount required to absorb losses
on existing loans and commitments to extend credit. Loans deemed uncollectible
are charged against and reduce the allowance. Periodically, a provision for
credit losses is charged to current expense. This provision acts to replenish
the allowance for credit losses and to maintain the allowance at a level that
management deems adequate. There is no precise method of predicting specific
credit losses or amounts that ultimately may be charged off on segments of the
loan portfolio. The determination that a loan may become uncollectible, in whole
or in part, is a matter of judgment. Similarly, the adequacy of the allowance
for credit losses can be determined only on a judgmental basis, after full
review, including (a) consideration of economic conditions and the effect on
particular industries and specific borrowers; (b) a review of borrowers'
financial data, together with industry data, the competitive situation, the
borrowers' management capabilities and other factors; (c) a continuing
evaluation of the loan portfolio, including monitoring by lending officers and
staff credit personnel of all loans which are identified as being of less than
acceptable quality; (d) an in-depth appraisal, on a monthly basis, of all loans
judged to present a possibility of loss (if, as a result of such monthly
appraisals, the loan is judged to be not fully collectible, the carrying value
of the loan is reduced to that portion considered collectible); and (e) an
evaluation of the underlying collateral for secured lending, including the use
of independent appraisals of real estate properties securing loans. A formal
analysis of the
-11-
adequacy of the allowance is conducted monthly and is reviewed by the Board of
Directors. Based on this analysis, management considers the allowance for credit
losses to be adequate at March 31, 2003. Periodic provisions for credit losses
are made to maintain the allowance for credit losses at an appropriate level.
The provisions are based on an analysis of various factors including historical
loss experience based on volumes and types of loans, volumes and trends in
delinquencies and non-accrual loans, trends in portfolio volume, results of
internal and independent external credit reviews, and anticipated economic
conditions. For additional information, please see the discussion under the
heading "Critical Accounting Policy" in Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10K
for the year ended December 31, 2002.
During the three months ended March 31, 2003, no provision was provided for
possible credit losses, compared to $954,000 provided in the same period in
2002. For the three months ended March 31, 2003, net charge-offs were $119,000,
compared to net charge-offs of $407,000 during the same period in 2002, and
compared to $590,000 in net charge-offs during the twelve months ended December
31, 2002. The charge-offs for the period ended March 31, 2003 are primarily
related to commercial loan write downs of $119,700.
At March 31, 2003, the allowance for credit losses stood at $2,354,000 compared
to $2,473,000 at December 31, 2002, and $2,656,000 at March 31, 2002. The ratio
of the allowance to total loans outstanding was 1.26%, 1.33% and 1.49%,
respectively, at March 31, 2003, December 31, 2002, and March 31, 2002.
NON-PERFORMING ASSETS AND FORECLOSED REAL ESTATE OWNED. Non-performing assets
totaled $5,083,000 at March 31, 2003. This represents 2.72% of total loans,
compared to $2,552,000 or 1.38% at December 31, 2002, and $3,026,000 or 1.69% at
March 31, 2002. Non-accrual loans at March 31, 2003 totaled $4,025,000 of which
$3,999,000 are secured by real estate. In particular, one loan secured by real
estate totals $3,587,000. Although it was placed in non-accrual status,
management has been in discussions with the borrower and believes the loan will
be brought current over the next 60 days. Based on current analysis, management
believes losses associated with non-accrual loans will be minimal. Foreclosed
real estate consists of various properties secured by real estate with no
individual material balances. The Company has been successful during the recent
months in selling individual properties with minimal impact to net income.

NON-INTEREST INCOME AND EXPENSE. Non-interest income for the three months ended
March 31, 2003 decreased $10,000 compared to the same period in 2002. Service
charges on deposit accounts increased $16,000 compared to the three months ended
March 31, 2002. Loan origination fees increased $22,000 compared to the three
months ended March 31, 2002. Loss on the sale of other real estate owned
decreased $9,000. Other operating income for the three months ended March 31,
2003 decreased $57,000 compared to the same period in 2002, primarily due to a
decrease in income from operations on real estate owned.
Non-interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2003 increased $91,000
compared to the same period in 2002. For the three-month period in 2003,
salaries and benefits increased $150,000, primarily due to an increase in the
number of employees and higher bonus accruals. Also, occupancy expenses
increased $4,000, while other expenses decreased $63,000, compared to the same
period in 2002.
INCOME TAXES. The federal income tax provision for the three months ended March
31, 2003 was $445,000, an increase of $263,000 compared to the same period in
2002.
FINANCIAL CONDITION. Total assets were $277,040,000 at March 31, 2003, an
increase of $8,506,000, or 3.2%, over year-end 2002. Loans were $187,045,000 at
March 31, 2003, an increase of $1,254,000, or .7%, over year-end 2002. Total
deposits were $235,358,000 at March 31, 2003, an increase of $10,104,000, or

LIQUIDITY. Adequate liquidity is available to accommodate fluctuations in
deposit levels, fund operations, and provide for customer credit needs and meet
obligations and commitments on a timely basis. The Company has no brokered
deposits. It generally has been a net seller of federal funds. When necessary,
liquidity can be increased by taking advances available from the Federal Home
Loan Bank of Seattle.
SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY. Total shareholders' equity was $25,895,000 at March 31,
2003, an increase of $1,212,000, or 4.9%, compared to December 31, 2002. The
increase was due to net income and an increase in the fair value of securities
available for sale. Book value per share increased to $10.31 at March 31, 2003
compared to $9.82 at December 31, 2002. Book value is calculated by dividing
total equity capital by total shares outstanding.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Interest rate, credit, and operations risks are the most significant market
risks which affect the Company's performance. The Company relies on loan review,
prudent loan underwriting standards and an adequate allowance for possible
credit losses to mitigate credit risk.
An asset/liability management simulation model is used to measure interest rate
risk. The model produces regulatory oriented measurements of interest rate risk
exposure. The model quantifies interest rate risk by simulating forecasted net
interest income over a 12 month time period under various interest rate
scenarios, as well as monitoring the change in the present value of equity under
the same rate scenarios. The present value of equity is defined as the
difference between the market value of assets less current liabilities. By
measuring the change in the present value of equity under various rate
scenarios, management is able to identify interest rate risk that may not be
evident from changes in forecasted net interest income.
The Company is currently asset sensitive, meaning that interest earning assets
mature or re-price more quickly than interest-bearing liabilities in a given
period. Therefore, a significant increase in market rates of interest could
improve net interest income. Conversely, a decreasing rate environment may
adversely affect net interest income.
It should be noted that the simulation model does not take into account future
management actions that could be undertaken should actual market rates change
during the year. An important point should be kept in mind; the model simulation
results are not exact measures of the Company's actual interest rate risk. They
are rather only indicators of rate risk exposure, based on assumptions produced
in a simplified modeling environment designed to heighten sensitivity to changes
in interest rates. The rate risk exposure results of the simulation model
typically are greater than the Company's actual rate risk. That is due to the
conservative modeling environment, which generally depicts a worst-case
situation. Management has assessed the results of the simulation reports as of
March 31, 2003, and believes that there has been no material change since
December 31, 2002.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information
the Company must disclose in its reports filed or submitted under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), is recorded, processed,
summarized, and reported on a timely basis. Within 90 days prior to the filing
of this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the
participation of our chief executive officer ("CEO") and chief financial officer
("CFO"), of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based
on that evaluation, the CEO and CFO have concluded that the Company's disclosure
controls and procedures are effective in bringing to their attention on a timely
basis information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it
files or submits under the Exchange Act. Also, since
-14-
the date of their evaluation, there have not been any significant changes in the
Company's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect
those controls, including any corrective actions with regard to significant
deficiencies and material weaknesses.
