2 ITEM 1. BUSINESS General Heritage Financial Corporation, Inc. is a bank holding company incorporated in the State of Washington in August 1997. We were organized for the purpose of acquiring all of the capital stock of Heritage Bank upon our reorganization from a mutual holding company form of organization to a stock holding company form of organization (the "Conversion"). We are primarily engaged in the business of planning, directing and coordinating the business activities of our wholly owned subsidiaries: Heritage Savings Bank and Central Valley Bank, N.A. Heritage Bank is a Washington-chartered savings bank whose deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) under the Savings Association Insurance Fund (SAIF). Heritage Bank conducts business from its main office in Olympia, Washington and its eleven branch offices located in Thurston, Pierce and Mason Counties. Central Valley Bank is a National Bank whose deposits are insured by the FDIC under the Bank Insurance Fund (BIF). Central Valley Bank conducts business from its main office in Toppenish, Washington, and its four branch offices located in Yakima County. Our business consists primarily of focusing on lending and deposit relationships with small businesses including agribusiness and their owners in our market area, attracting deposits from the general public and originating for sale or investment purposes first mortgage loans on residential properties located in western and central Washington. We also make residential construction loans, income property loans and consumer loans. On March 5, 1999, we merged with Washington Independent Bancshares, Inc. whose wholly owned subsidiary was Central Valley Bank. In that merger we exchanged 1,058,009 shares of our common stock for all of the outstanding shares of Washington Independent common stock. This merger was accounted for as a pooling of interests and accordingly, our financial information reported herein has been restated to include the accounts and results of operations of Washington Independent for all periods presented. Effective June 12, 1998, we acquired North Pacific Bank, a Washington-chartered commercial bank, which was merged into Heritage Bank effective November 20, 1998. Effective with the year ending December 31, 1998 we changed our fiscal year end from June 30th to December 31st. On December 31, 1998, we filed a Transition Report Form 10-K with the SEC reporting for the six month period ended December 31, 1998. This filing of Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999 will be the first full twelve month period filed with a calendar year ending. Throughout this report every effort has been made to clarify the accounting period being referenced (i.e. six months ending December 31, 1998 or year ending June 30, 1998 etc.) and when appropriate year to year comparisons are made that reflect equivalent twelve month periods (i.e. twelve months ending December 31, 1998 to twelve months ending December 31, 1999). Market Areas We offer financial services to meet the needs of the communities we serve through community-oriented financial institutions. Headquartered in Olympia, Thurston County, Washington, we conduct business through Heritage Bank from twelve full service offices, six in Pierce County, five in Thurston County and one in Mason County. Heritage Bank has two mortgage origination offices, one in Thurston County and one in Pierce County, both of which operate within banking offices. We service Yakima County through Central Valley Bank from their headquarters in Toppenish, Washington, using five branch offices. Olympia enjoys a stable economic climate, largely due to government employment and military personnel (Fort Lewis and McChord Air Force Base are both located in our primary market area), both retired and active. State government is by far the largest employer in Thurston County, employing over 40% of the total county work force. Federal, county and municipal government together comprise nearly 50% of the county's civilian employment base. 3 Thurston County has a population of 202,700 as of April 1, 1999 and was one of the fastest growing metropolitan counties in the state of Washington as reported by the State Department of Natural Resources. Thurston County's growth has been spurred by increased government employment and the expansion of a large retirement population, including many former military personnel. Pierce County, where Tacoma is located, has an official population of 700,000 according to the state Office of Financial Management. Its economy is well-diversified, with the principal industries being aerospace, shipping, military-related government employment, agriculture and forest products. Our market area also includes Shelton and the surrounding Mason County area. The population of Mason county was approximately 48,600 in 1999, and its economy is substantially dependent upon the timber and forest products industries. Yakima County is located in central Washington. It has a population of 204,000, and its economy is substantially dependent upon agriculture. Yakima County boasts the highest production of apples and hops of any county in the nation. Lending Activities General. Our lending activities are carried on through the two banks, Heritage Bank and Central Valley Bank. We traditionally have originated one- to four-family residential mortgage loans and, to a lesser extent, multifamily, commercial real estate, construction, and agricultural loans. In the fiscal year ended June 30, 1994, we implemented a growth strategy intended to broaden our products and services from traditional thrift products and services to those more closely related to commercial banking. In this regard, during this period, we began to emphasize relationship banking and to expand our business lending capabilities. Beginning in 1996, Heritage Bank began hiring commercial loan officers, experienced in the Puget Sound region. The loan officers, in addition to bringing to us previous customer relationships, have taken advantage of the opportunity to attract customers of banks that have been acquired via mergers with out-of-area institutions. In June 1998, we completed our acquisition of North Pacific Bank, a $84.9 million asset commercial bank. In March 1999, we merged with Washington Independent Bancshares, holding company for Central Valley Bank NA, a $61 million commercial bank. These combinations accelerated our expansion of our commercial banking focus. Taken together, these efforts contributed to an increase in commercial loans to $192.1 million, or 46.0% of total loans, as of December 31, 1999 from $128.2 million, or 39.2% of total loans, as of December 31, 1998. As we pursue our strategy, management is continuing to emphasize strong asset quality. Our overall lending operations are guided by loan policies which are reviewed and approved annually by our board of directors, and which outline the basic policies and procedures by which lending operations are conducted. Generally, the policies address the types of loans, underwriting and collateral requirements, terms, interest rate and yield considerations, and compliance with laws and regulations in addition to establishing internal lending limits. We supplement our own supervision of the loan underwriting and approval process with periodic loan audits by experienced external loan specialists who review credit quality, loan documentation and compliance with laws and regulations. 4 The following table sets forth at the dates indicated our loan portfolio by type of loan. These balances are net of deferred loan fees and prior to deduction for the allowance for loan losses.

Real Estate Lending One- to Four-Family Residential Real Estate Lending. The majority of our residential loans are secured by one- to four-family residences located in our primary market area. Our underwriting standards require that one- to four- family portfolio loans generally be owner-occupied and that loan amounts not exceed 80% (90% with private mortgage insurance) of the current appraised value or cost, whichever is lower, of the underlying collateral. Terms typically range from 15 to 30 years. We offer both fixed-rate mortgages and adjustable rate mortgages ("ARMs") with repricing based on a Treasury Bill or other index. Our ability to generate volume in ARMs however, is largely a function of consumer preference and the interest rate environment. Our current 5 policy is not to make ARMs with discounted initial interest rates (i.e., "teasers"). We generally sell all government guaranteed mortgages, both fixed rate and adjustable rate. In addition, in connection with management's strategies to control our interest rate sensitivity position, management determines from time to time to what extent it will retain or sell other ARMs and other fixed rate mortgages. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations--Asset/Liability Management". Multifamily and Commercial Real Estate Lending. We have made, and anticipate continuing to make, on a selective basis, multifamily and commercial real estate loans in our primary market areas. Commercial real estate loans are made for small shopping centers, warehouses and professional offices, generally owner occupied. Cash flow coverage to debt servicing requirements is generally 1.2 times or more. Our underwriting standards generally require that the loan-to-value ratio for multifamily and commercial real estate loans not exceed 80% of appraised value or cost, whichever is lower. Multifamily and commercial real estate mortgage lending affords our banks an opportunity to receive interest at rates higher than those generally available from one- to four-family residential lending. However, loans secured by such properties usually are greater in amount, more difficult to evaluate and monitor and, therefore, involve a greater degree of risk than one- to four- family residential mortgage loans. Because payments on loans secured by multifamily and commercial real estate properties are often dependent on the successful operation and management of the properties, repayment of these loans may be affected by adverse conditions in the real estate market or the economy. We seek to minimize these risks by strictly scrutinizing the financial condition of the borrower, the quality of the collateral and the management of the property securing the loan. We also generally obtain personal guarantees from financially capable borrowers based on a review of personal financial statements. Construction Loans. We originate one- to four-family residential construction loans for the construction of custom homes (where the home buyer is the borrower) and provide financing to builders for the construction of pre-sold homes and speculative residential construction (i.e. built before a buyer is identified). We lend to builders who have demonstrated a favorable record of performance and profitable operations and who are building in markets that management understands and in which management is comfortable with the economic conditions. We further endeavor to limit our construction lending risk through adherence to strict underwriting procedures. Loans to one builder are generally limited on a case-by-case basis with unsold home limits based on builder strengths. Our underwriting standards require that the loan- to-value ratio for pre-sold homes and speculative residential construction not exceed 80% of appraised value or builder's cost less overhead, whichever is less. Speculative construction and land development loans are generally short term in nature and priced with a variable rate of interest using the prime rate as the index. We generally require builders to have some tangible form of equity in each construction project. Also, we generally require prompt and thorough documentation of all draw requests and utilize outside inspectors to inspect the project prior to paying any draw requests from builders. Construction lending affords us the opportunity to achieve higher interest rates and fees with shorter terms to maturity than does our single-family permanent mortgage lending. Construction lending, however, is generally considered to involve a higher degree of risk than single-family permanent mortgage lending because of the inherent difficulty in estimating both a property's value at completion of the project and the estimated costs of the project. As a result, these loans are generally more difficult to evaluate and monitor. If the estimate of construction cost proves to be inaccurate, we may be required to advance funds beyond the amount originally committed to permit completion of the project. If the estimate of value upon completion proves to be inaccurate, we may be confronted with a project whose value is insufficient to assure full repayment. Projects may also be jeopardized by disagreements between borrowers and builders and by the failure of builders to pay subcontractors. Loans to builders to construct homes for which no purchaser has been identified carry more risk because the payoff for the loan depends on the builder's ability to sell the property prior to the time the construction loan is due. 6 Commercial Business Lending We offer commercial loans to sole proprietorships, partnerships and corporations with an emphasis on real estate related industries and firms in agricultural, health care, legal and other professions. The types of commercial loans offered are business lines of credit secured primarily by real estate, accounts receivable and inventory, business term loans secured by real estate for either working capital or lot acquisition, Small Business Administration ("SBA") loans and unsecured business loans. Commercial business lending generally involves greater risk than residential mortgage lending and risks that are different from those associated with residential and commercial real estate lending. Real estate lending is generally considered to be collateral based lending with loan amounts based on predetermined loan to collateral values, and liquidation of the underlying real estate collateral is viewed as the primary source of repayment in the event of borrower default. Although our commercial business loans are often collateralized by real estate, the decision to grant a commercial business loan depends primarily on the credit worthiness and cash flow of the borrower (and any guarantors), while liquidation of collateral is a secondary source of repayment. As of December 31, 1999, we had $192.1 million, or 46.0% of our total loans receivable, in commercial business loans. Collateral for these loans is generally owner occupied business or residential real estate. The average loan size is approximately $200,000 with loans generally in amounts of $500,000 or less. Origination and Sales of Loans We originate real estate and other loans with approximately two-thirds of the residential mortgage volumes generated from our mortgage loan origination office. Walk-in customers and referrals from real estate brokers are important sources of loan originations. Consistent with our asset/liability management strategy, we sell a majority of our fixed rate and ARM residential mortgage loans into the secondary market. At Heritage Bank, commitments to sell mortgage loans generally are made during the period between the taking of the loan application and the closing of the mortgage loan. The timing of making these sale commitments is dependent upon the timing of the borrower's election to lock-in the mortgage interest rate and fees prior to loan closing. Most of these sale commitments are made on a "best efforts" basis whereby Heritage Bank is only obligated to sell the mortgage if the mortgage loan is approved and closed by Heritage Bank. As a result, management believes that market risk is minimal. At Central Valley Bank, all mortgage loan production is brokered to other lenders prior to funding. When we sell mortgage loans, we typically also sell the servicing of the loans (i.e., collection of principal and interest payments). We serviced $18.8 million and $13.1 million in mortgage loans for others as of December 31, 1998 and December 31, 1999, respectively. We received fee income of $22,000 and $34,000 for the six months ended December 31, 1998, and the year ended December 31, 1999 for these servicing activities on mortgage loans. The following table presents summary information concerning our origination and sale of residential mortgage loans and the gains achieved on such activities.
Six month Year ended June 30, ended Year ended ------------------- December 31 December 31 1997 1998 1998 1999 --------- --------- ----------- ----------- (Dollars in thousands) One- to four-family residential mortgage loans: Originated.................. $ 104,145 $ 118,774 $68,434 $78,248 Sold........................ 87,003 101,903 57,490 58,266 Gains on sales of loans, net.. $ 2,006 $ 2,406 $ 1,297 $ 1,079
We have a minimal amount of purchased loans and loan participations. 7 Commitments and Contingent Liabilities In the ordinary course of business, we enter into various types of transactions that include commitments to extend credit that are not included in our consolidated financial statements. We apply the same credit standards to these commitments as we use in all our lending activities and have included these commitments in our lending risk evaluations. Our exposure to credit loss under commitments to extend credit is represented by the amount of these commitments. At December 31, 1999, we had outstanding commitments to extend credit, including letters of credit, in the amount of $87.9 million. Delinquencies and Nonperforming Assets Delinquency Procedures. When a borrower fails to make a required payment on a loan, in the case of loans other than commercial loans, a late notice is sent 15 days after the due date. If the delinquency is not cured by the 30th day, a second notice is mailed and, if appropriate, the borrower is contacted by telephone. Additional written and verbal contacts are made with the borrower between 60 and 90 days after the due date. In the event a real estate loan payment is past due for 45 days or more, loan servicing personnel perform an in-depth review of the loan status, the condition of the property, and the circumstances of the borrower. Based upon the results of our review, we may negotiate and accept a repayment program with the borrower, accept a voluntary deed in lieu of foreclosure or, when deemed necessary, initiate foreclosure proceedings. If foreclosed on, real property is sold at a public sale and we may bid on the property to protect our interest. A decision as to whether and when to initiate foreclosure proceedings is made by the loan committee and is based on such factors as the amount of the outstanding loan in relation to the value of the property securing the original indebtedness, the extent of the delinquency, and the borrower's ability and willingness to cooperate in curing the delinquency. Real estate acquired by us by deed in lieu of foreclosure is classified as real estate owned until it is sold. When property is acquired, it is recorded at the lower of cost or estimated fair value at the date of acquisition, not to exceed net realizable value, and any write-down resulting therefrom is charged to the allowance for loan losses. Upon acquisition, all costs incurred in maintaining the property are expensed. Costs relating to the development and improvement of the property, however, are capitalized to the extent of the property's net realizable value. We consider loans as in-substance foreclosed if the borrower has little or no equity in the property based upon its estimated fair value, if repayment can be expected only to come from operation or sale of the collateral, and if the borrower has effectively abandoned control of the collateral or has continued to retain control of the collateral but because of the borrower's current financial status, it is doubtful that the borrower will be able to repay the loan in the foreseeable future. Delinquencies in the commercial business loan portfolio are handled on a case-by-case basis. Generally, notices are sent and personal contact is made with the borrower when the loan is 15 days past due. Loan officers are responsible for collecting loans they originate or which are assigned to them. Depending on the nature of the loan and the type of collateral securing the loan, we may negotiate and accept a modified payment program or take other actions as the circumstances warrant. Classification of Assets. Federal regulations require that our banks classify assets on a regular basis. In addition, in connection with examinations of each bank, the Washington State Department of Financial Institutions, Division of Banks, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, and FDIC examiners have authority to identify problem assets and, if appropriate, require them to be classified. There are three classifications for problem assets: Substandard, Doubtful, and Loss. Substandard assets have one or more defined weaknesses and are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Doubtful assets have the weaknesses of Substandard assets, with the additional characteristics that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values questionable, and there is a high possibility of loss. An asset classified as Loss is 8 considered uncollectible and of such little value that continuance as an asset of the institution is not warranted. Assets classified as Substandard or Doubtful require the institution to establish prudent general allowances for loan losses. If an asset or portion thereof is classified as Loss, the institution must charge off such amount. The most recent examination of Heritage Bank was completed by the FDIC in March 1999. Central Valley Bank was examined by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency in January 2000. The regulators' assessments of our banks' classified assets were consistent with our banks' internal classifications. An examination of Heritage Bank by the Division was in progress during March 2000. Nonperforming Assets. Nonperforming assets consist of nonaccrual loans and restructured loans and real estate owned. The following table sets forth at the dates indicated information with respect to nonaccrual loans, restructured loans and real estate owned by us.

Nonaccrual Loans. Our financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting, including the recognition of interest income on our loan portfolio, unless a loan is placed on a nonaccrual basis. Loans are considered to be impaired and are placed on nonaccrual status when there are serious doubts about the collectibility of principal or interest. Our policy is to place a loan on nonaccrual status when the loan becomes past due for 90 days or more. Amounts received on nonaccrual loans generally are applied first to principal and then to interest only after all principal has been collected. Interest on nonaccrual loans foregone was $11,738, and $59,613 for the six months ended December 31, 1998 and the year ended December 31, 1999, respectively. Previous period interest foregone was immaterial. Analysis of Allowance for Loan Losses The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level considered adequate by management to provide for reasonably foreseeable loan losses based on management's assessment of various factors affecting the loan portfolio, including a review of problem loans, business conditions and loss experience and an overall evaluation of the quality of the underlying collateral, holding and disposal costs and costs of capital. The allowance is increased by provisions for loan losses charged to operations and reduced by loans charged off, net of recoveries. Over the past three years, we have increased our allowance for loan losses during a period of loan growth and change in loan portfolio composition. While our loan portfolio, and in particular commercial loans, have grown substantially over the past three years, our asset quality has remained very solid as demonstrated by the low charge-offs and the low nonperforming assets to total assets ratio during that period. In the year ended December 31, 1999, we experienced net charge-offs of $101,000. Because commercial business lending 9 generally involves greater risk than those associated with residential and commercial real estate lending, we have increased the portion of our general allowance for loan losses allocated to our commercial loans over the past three years. While we believe that we use the best information available to determine the allowance for loan losses, if circumstances differ substantially from the assumptions used in determining the allowance, or unforeseen market conditions result in adjustments to the allowance for loan losses, net income could be significantly affected. The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, information regarding changes in our allowance for loan losses:

Investment Activities At December 31, 1999, our investment securities portfolio totaled $42.5 million, consisting of $36.4 million of securities available for sale and $6.1 million of securities held to maturity. This compares with a total portfolio of $47.6 million at December 31, 1998, comprised of $31.7 million of securities available for sale and $15.9 million of securities held to maturity. The composition of the two investment portfolios by type of security, at each respective date, is presented in the tables below. Our investment policies are established by the board of directors and monitored by the Audit and Finance Committee. They are designed primarily to provide and maintain liquidity, to generate a favorable return on investments without incurring undue interest rate and credit risk, and to compliment our bank's lending activities. These policies dictate the criteria for classifying securities as either available for sale or held for investment. The policies permit investment in various types of liquid assets permissible under applicable regulations, which include U.S. Treasury obligations, U.S. Government agency obligations, some certificates of deposit of insured banks, mortgage backed and mortgage related securities, some corporate notes, municipal bonds, FHLB stock and federal funds. Investment in non-investment grade bonds is not permitted under the policies. 11 The following table summarizes the amortized cost, gross unrealized gains and losses and the resulting fair value of securities available for sale:

- -------- (1) Tax equivalent weighted average yield. We held $2.2 million of FHLB stock at December 31, 1999. The stock has no contractual maturity and amounts in excess of the required minimum for FHLB membership may be redeemed at par. At December 31, 1999, we were required to maintain an investment in the stock of the FHLB of Seattle of at least $0.8 million. 13 Deposit Activities and Other Sources of Funds General. Our primary sources of funds are deposits and loan repayments. Scheduled loan repayments are a relatively stable source of funds, while deposit inflows and outflows and unscheduled loan prepayments, which are influenced significantly by general interest rate levels, interest rates available on other investments, competition, economic condition and other factors, are not. Our deposit balances increased by $38.1 million in 1999 including an increase of $49.3 million in Public fund deposits. Customer deposits remain an important source, but these balances have been influenced in the past by adverse market changes in the industry and may be affected by similar developments in the future. Borrowings may be used on a short term basis to compensate for reductions in other sources of funds (such as deposit inflows at less than projected levels). Borrowings may also be used on a longer term basis to support expanded lending activities and to match the maturity of repricing intervals of assets. Deposit Activities. We offer a variety of accounts for depositors designed to attract both short-term and long-term deposits. These accounts include certificates of deposit ("CDs"), regular savings accounts, money market accounts, checking and negotiable order of withdrawal ("NOW") accounts, and individual retirement accounts ("IRAs"). These accounts generally earn interest at rates established by management based on competitive market factors and management's desire to increase or decrease certain types or maturities of deposits. At December 31, 1999, we had no brokered deposits. The more significant deposit accounts offered by us are described below. Certificates of Deposit. We offer several types of CDs with maturities ranging from 30 days to five years and which require a minimum deposit of $100. In addition, we offer a CD that has a maturity of four to 11 months and a minimum deposit of $2,500, and permits additional deposits at the initial rate throughout the certificate term. Interest is credited quarterly or at maturity. Finally, negotiable CDs are offered in amounts of $100,000 or more for terms of 30 days to 12 months. The negotiable CDs pay simple interest credited at maturity. Regular Savings Accounts. We offer savings accounts that allow for unlimited deposits and withdrawals, provided that a $100 minimum balance is maintained. Interest is compounded daily and credited quarterly. Money Market Accounts. Money market accounts pay a variable interest rate that is tiered depending on the balance maintained in the account. Minimum opening balances vary. Interest is compounded daily and paid monthly. Checking and NOW Accounts. Checking and NOW accounts are non-interest and interest bearing and may be charged service fees based on activity and balances. NOW accounts pay interest, but require a higher minimum balance to avoid service charges. Individual Retirement Accounts. IRAs permit annual contributions regulated by law and pay interest at fixed rates. Maturities are available from one to five years and interest is compounded daily and credited quarterly. 14 Sources of Funds Deposit Activities. The following table sets forth for the periods indicated the average balances outstanding and the weighted average interest rates for each major category of deposits:

At December 31, 1998 and December 31, 1999 certificates of deposits with balances of $100,000 or more totaled $30.8 million and $77.0 million, respectively. 15 Borrowings. Savings deposits are the primary source of funds for our lending and investment activities and for our general business purposes. We rely upon advances from the FHLB of Seattle to supplement our supply of lendable funds and to meet deposit withdrawal requirements. The FHLB of Seattle has served as one of our secondary sources of liquidity. Advances from the FHLB of Seattle are typically secured by our first mortgage loans, and stock issued by the FHLB of Seattle, which is held by us. The FHLB functions as a central reserve bank providing credit for member financial institutions. As a member, Heritage Bank is required to own capital stock in the FHLB and is authorized to apply for advances on the security of such stock and certain of its mortgage loans and other assets (principally securities which are obligations of, or guaranteed by, the United States) provided certain standards related to creditworthiness have been met. It is anticipated that Central Valley Bank will become a member early in 2000. Advances are made pursuant to several different programs. Each credit program has its own interest rate and range of maturities. Depending on the program, limitations on the amount of advances are based either on a fixed percentage of an institution's net worth or on the FHLB's assessment of the institution's creditworthiness. Under its current credit policies, the FHLB of Seattle generally limits advances to 20.0% of a member's assets, and overnight borrowings may not exceed 5.0% of the institution's assets. The FHLB of Seattle determines specific lines of credit for each member institution. The following table is a summary of FHLB advances for the years ended June 30, 1997, June 30, 1998, the six months ended December 31, 1998, and the year ended December 31, 1999:

Supervision and Regulation We and our banks are subject to extensive federal and Washington state legislation, regulation and supervision. These laws and regulations are primarily intended to protect depositors and the FDIC rather than stockholders. The laws and regulations affecting banks and bank holding companies have changed significantly over recent years, and it is reasonable to expect that similar changes will continue in the future. Any change in applicable laws, regulations or regulatory policies may have a material effect on our business, operations and prospects. We cannot predict the nature or the extent of the effects on our business and earnings that any fiscal or monetary policies or new federal or state legislation may have in the future. The following information is qualified in its entirety by reference to the particular statutory and regulatory provisions described. Heritage Financial. We are subject to regulation as a bank holding company within the meaning of the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, and are supervised by the Federal Reserve. The Federal Reserve has the authority to order bank holding companies to cease and desist from unsound practices and violations of conditions imposed on it. The Federal Reserve is also empowered to assess civil money penalties against companies and individuals who violate the Bank Holding Company Act or orders or regulations thereunder in amounts up to $1.0 million per day or order termination of non-banking activities of non- banking subsidiaries of bank holding companies, and to order termination of ownership and control of a non-banking 17 subsidiary by a bank holding company. Some violations may also result in criminal penalties. The FDIC and OCC are authorized to exercise comparable authority under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, the National Bank Act and other statutes with respect to state nonmember banks such as Heritage Bank or national banks such as Central Valley Bank. The Federal Reserve takes the position that a bank holding company is required to serve as a source of financial and managerial strength to its subsidiary banks and may not conduct its operations in an unsafe or unsound manner. In addition, it is the Federal Reserve's position that in serving as a source of strength to its subsidiary banks, bank holding companies should be prepared to use available resources to provide adequate capital funds to its subsidiary banks during periods of financial stress or adversity and should maintain the financial flexibility and capital raising capacity to obtain additional resources for assisting its subsidiary banks. A bank holding company's failure to meet its obligations to serve as a source of strength to its subsidiary banks will generally be considered by the Federal Reserve to be an unsafe and unsound banking practice or a violation of the Federal Reserve's regulations or both. The Federal Deposit Insurance Act requires an undercapitalized institution to submit to the Federal Reserve a capital restoration plan with a guaranty by each company having control of the bank's compliance with the plan. We are required to file an annual report and periodic reports with the Federal Reserve and additional information as the Federal Reserve may require. The Federal Reserve may examine us and any of our subsidiaries and charge us for the cost of the examination. We and any subsidiaries which we may control are deemed "affiliates" within the meaning of the Federal Reserve Act, and transactions between our bank subsidiaries and our affiliates are subject to numerous restrictions. With some exceptions, we and our subsidiaries are prohibited from tying the provision of various services, such as extensions of credit, to other services offered by us or our affiliates. Bank regulations require bank holding companies and banks to maintain a minimum "leverage" ratio of core capital to adjusted quarterly average total assets of at least 3%. In addition, banking regulators have adopted risk-based capital guidelines under which risk percentages are assigned to various categories of assets and off-balance sheet items to calculate a risk-adjusted capital ratio. Tier I capital generally consists of common stockholders' equity (which does not include unrealized gains and losses on securities), less goodwill and certain identifiable intangible assets, while Tier II capital includes the allowance for loan losses and subordinated debt, both subject to some limitations. Regulatory risk-based capital guidelines require Tier I capital of 4% of risk-adjusted assets and minimum total capital ratio (combined Tier I and Tier II) of 8%. Subsidiaries. Heritage Bank is a Washington state-chartered savings bank, the deposits of which are insured by the FDIC. Heritage Bank is subject to regulation by the FDIC and the Washington State Department of Financial Institutions Division of Banks. Central Valley Bank is a nationally chartered bank insured by the FDIC, and subject to the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, and is a member of the Federal Reserve System. Although Heritage Bank is not a member of the Federal Reserve System, the Federal Reserve supervisory authority over us may also affect Heritage Bank. Among other things, applicable federal and state statutes and regulations which govern a bank's operations relate to minimum capital requirements, required reserves against deposits, investments, loans, legal lending limits, mergers and consolidation, borrowings, issuance of securities, payment of dividends, establishment of branches and other aspects of its operations. The Division, the OCC and the FDIC also have authority to prohibit banks under their supervision from engaging in what they consider to be unsafe and unsound practices. The banks are required to file periodic reports with the FDIC, the Division, or the OCC, and are subject to periodic examinations and evaluations by those regulatory authorities. Based upon these evaluations, the regulators may revalue the assets of an institution and require that it establish specific reserves to compensate for the differences between the regulator-determined value and the book value of such assets. These examinations must be conducted every 12 months, except that well-capitalized banks may be examined every 18 months. The 18 FDIC and the Division may each accept the results of an examination by the other in lieu of conducting an independent examination. As subsidiaries of a bank holding company, our banks are subject to various restrictions in their dealings with us and with other companies that may become affiliated with us. In addition to earnings on the portion of net stock offering proceeds retained by us, dividends paid by our subsidiaries will provide substantially all of our cash flow. Applicable federal and Washington state regulations restrict capital distributions by our banks, including dividends. Such restrictions are tied to the institution's capital levels after giving effect to such distributions. The FDIC and OCC have established the qualifications necessary to be classified as a "well-capitalized" bank, primarily for assignment of FDIC risk-based insurance premium rates beginning in 1993. To qualify as "well-capitalized", banks must have a Tier I risk-adjusted capital ratio of at least 6%, a total risk-adjusted capital ratio of at least 10%, and a leverage ratio of at least 5%. Both Heritage Bank and Central Valley Bank were qualified as "well-capitalized" at December 31, 1999. Federal laws generally bar institutions which are not well capitalized from accepting brokered deposits. The FDIC has issued rules which prohibit under- capitalized institutions from soliciting or accepting brokered deposits. Adequately capitalized institutions are allowed to solicit brokered deposits, but only to accept them if a waiver is obtained from the FDIC. Other Regulatory Developments. Congress has enacted significant federal banking legislation in recent years. Included in this legislation have been: The FIRREA and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 ("FDICIA"). FIRREA, among other things, . created two deposit insurance funds administered by the FDIC, the Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF") and the SAIF; . permitted commercial banks that meet certain housing-related asset requirements to secure advances and other financial services from local FHLBs; . restructured the federal regulatory agencies for savings associations; and . greatly enhanced the regulators enforcement powers over financial institutions and their affiliates. FDICIA went substantially farther than FIRREA in establishing a more rigorous regulatory environment. Under FDICIA, regulatory authorities are required to enact a number of new regulations, substantially all of which are now effective. These regulations include, among other things, . a new method for calculating deposit insurance premiums based on risk, . restrictions on acceptance of brokered deposits except by well- capitalized institutions, . additional limitations on loans to executive officers and directors of banks, . the employment of interest rate risk in the calculation of risk-based capital, . safety and soundness standards that take into consideration, among other things, management, operations, asset quality, earnings and compensation, . a five-tiered rating system from well-capitalized to critically undercapitalized, along with the prompt corrective action the agencies may take depending on the category, and . new disclosure and advertising requirements with respect to interest paid on savings accounts. FDICIA and regulations adopted by the FDIC impose additional requirements for annual independent audits and reporting when a bank begins a fiscal year with assets of $500 million or more. These banks, or their holding 19 companies, are also required to establish audit committees consisting of directors who are independent of management. The Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994. This act provides banks with greater opportunities to merge with other institutions and to open branches nationwide and also allows a bank holding company whose principal operations are in one state to apply to the Federal Reserve for approval to acquire a bank that is headquartered in a different state. States cannot "opt out" but may impose minimum time periods, not to exceed five years, for the target bank's existence. This act also allows bank subsidiaries of bank holding companies to establish "agency" relationships with their depository institution affiliates. In an agency relationship, a bank can accept deposits, renew time deposits, close and service loans, and receive payments for a depository institution affiliate. States cannot "opt out". This act allows banks whose principal operations are located in different states to apply to federal regulators to merge. This provision took effect June 1, 1997, unless states enacted laws to either authorize such transactions at an earlier date or prohibit such transactions entirely. The Interstate Banking Act also allows banks to apply to establish de novo branches in states in which they do not already have a branch office. This provision took effect June 1, 1997, but (i) states must enact laws to permit such branching and (ii) a bank's primary federal regulator must approve any such branch establishment. The Washington legislature passed legislation that allows, subject to certain conditions, mergers or other combinations, relocations of banks' main office and branching across state lines in advance of the June 1, 1997 date established by federal law. Recent Legislation Financial Services Reform Legislation. On November 12, 1999, the Gramm- Leach-Bliley Act ("GLBA") was enacted into law. The GLBA removes various barriers imposed by the Glass-Steagall Act of 1933, specifically those prohibiting banks and bank holding companies from engaging in the securities and insurance business. The GLBA also expands the bank holding company act framework to permit bank holding companies with subsidiary banks meeting certain capital and management requirements to elect to become a "financial holding company". Beginning March, 2000, financial holding companies may engage in a full range of financial activities, including not only banking, insurance and securities activities, but also merchant banking and additional activities determined to be "financial in nature" or "complementary" to an activity that is financial in nature. The GLBA also provides that the list of permissible financial activities will be expanded as necessary for a financial holding company to keep abreast of competitive and technological changes. The GLBA also expands the activities in which insured state banks may engage. Under the GLBA, insured state banks are given the ability to engage in financial activities through a subsidiary, as long as the bank and its bank affiliates meet and comply with certain requirements. First, the state bank and each of its bank affiliates must be "well capitalized". Second, the bank must comply with certain capital deduction and financial statement requirements provided under the GLBA. Third, the bank must comply with certain financial and operational safeguards provided under the GLBA. Fourth, the bank must comply with the limits imposed by the GLBA on transactions with affiliates. Although the GLBA preserves the Federal Reserve as the umbrella supervisor of financial holding companies, it adopts an administrative approach to regulation that defers to the action and paperwork requirements of the "functional" regulators of insurers, broker-dealers, investment companies and banks. Thus, the various state and federal regulators of a financial holding company's operating subsidiaries would retain their jurisdiction and authority over those operating entities. As the umbrella supervisor, however, the Federal Reserve has the potential to affect the operations and activities of a financial holding company's subsidiaries through its power over the financial holding company parent. In addition, the GLBA contains numerous trigger points related to legal non-compliance and other serious problems affecting bank affiliates that could lead to direct Federal Reserve involvement and to the possible exercise of remedial authority affecting both financial holding companies and their affiliated operating companies. 20 Deposit Insurance Matters. Heritage Bank's deposit accounts are insured by the FDIC under the SAIF to the maximum extent permitted by law. Central Valley Bank is insured by the FDIC under the BIF to the maximum extent permitted by law. Each bank pays deposit insurance premiums to the FDIC based on a risk- based assessment system established by the FDIC for all member institutions. Under applicable regulations, institutions are assigned to one of three capital groups that are based solely on the level of an institution's capital ("well capitalized", "adequately capitalized" or " undercapitalized"), which are defined in the same manner as the regulations establishing the prompt corrective action system under the FDIC as described above. The matrix so created results in nine assessment risk classifications. Pursuant to recent changes in federal law, the FDIC imposed a special assessment on each depository institution with SAIF-assessable deposits which resulted in the SAIF achieving its designated reserve ratio. In connection with that, the FDIC reduced the assessment schedule for SAIF members, effective January 1, 1997, to a range of 0% to 0.27%, with most institutions, including Heritage Bank, paying 0%. This assessment schedule is the same as that for the BIF, which reached its designated reserve ratio in 1995. In addition, since January 1, 1997, SAIF members are charged an assessment of approximately 0.06% of SAIF-assessable deposits for the purpose of paying interest on the bonds issued by the Financing Corporation in the 1980s to help fund the thrift industry cleanup. BIF-assessable deposits will be charged an assessment to help pay interest on the bonds at a rate of approximately .013% until the earlier of December 31, 1999 or the date upon which the last savings association ceases to exist, after which time the assessment will be the same for all insured deposits. Recent legislative changes provided for the merger of the BIF and SAIF into the Deposit Insurance Fund on January 1, 1999, but only if no insured depository institutions were savings associations on that date. This merger did not occur. Competition We compete for loans and deposits with other thrifts, commercial banks, credit unions, mortgage bankers and other institutions in the scope and type of services offered, interest rates paid on deposits, pricing of loans, and number and locations of branches, among other things. Many of our competitors have substantially greater resources than we do. Particularly in times of high or rising interest rates, we also face significant competition for investors' funds from short term money market securities and other corporate and government securities. We compete for loans principally through the range and quality of the services we provide, interest rates and loan fees, and the locations of our banks' branches. We actively solicit deposit-related clients and compete for deposits by offering depositors a variety of savings accounts, checking accounts and other services. Employees At December 31, 1999, we had 222 full-time equivalent employees. We believe that employees play a vital role in the success of a service company. None of our employees are covered by a collective bargaining agreement with us and we believe that we have a good relationship with our employees. ITEM 2. PROPERTIES Our executive offices and the main office of Heritage Bank are located in approximately 22,000 square feet of the headquarters building and adjacent office space which are owned and located in downtown Olympia. At December 31, 1999, Heritage Bank had six offices located in Tacoma and surrounding areas of Pierce County, (all but one of which are owned) five offices located in Thurston County (all of which are owned with one office located on leased land) and one office in Shelton, Mason County (which is owned). Central Valley Bank had five offices located in Yakima County (all of which are owned). 21 ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS We and our banks have certain litigation and negotiations in progress resulting from activities arising from normal operations. In our opinion, none of these matters is likely to have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations. ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS None. 22 PART II ITEM 5. MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS Our common stock is traded on the NASDAQ National Market(R) under the symbol HFWA. At December 31, 1999, we had approximately 1,492 stockholders of record (not including the number of persons or entities holding stock in nominee or street name through various brokerage firms) and 10,076,216 outstanding shares of common stock. The last reported sales price on March 8, 2000 was $7.75 per share. The following table sets forth for the quarters indicated the range of high and low bid information per share of our common stock as reported on the NASDAQ National Market(R).

Since our stock offering in January 1998, we have declared the following quarterly cash dividends:

Dividends from us depend, in part, upon earnings from the investment of the net proceeds from the Conversion retained by us and receipt of dividends from our subsidiary banks. The FDIC and the Division have the authority under their supervisory powers to prohibit the payment of dividends by Heritage Bank to us. For a period of ten years after the Conversion, Heritage Bank may not, without prior approval of the Division, declare or pay a cash dividend in an amount in excess of one-half of the greater of the Bank's net income for the current fiscal year or the average of the Bank's net income for the current fiscal year and not more than two of the immediately preceding fiscal years. In addition, Heritage Bank may not declare or pay a cash dividend on its common stock if the effect of the dividend would be to reduce the Bank's net worth below the amount required for the liquidation account. For Central Valley Bank the approval of the Comptroller of the Currency is required if the total of all dividends declared by Central Valley Bank in any calendar year exceeds the total of its net income of that year combined with its retained net income of the preceding two years, less any required transfer of surplus or fund for the retirement of any preferred stock. Other than the specific restrictions mentioned above, current regulations allow us and our subsidiary banks to pay dividends on their common stock if our or our bank's regulatory capital would not be reduced below the statutory capital requirements set by the Federal Reserve, the OCC and the FDIC. 23 ITEM 6.

- -------- (1) Dividend payout ratio is declared dividends per share divided by earnings per share. Cash dividends prior to the January 1998 stock offering and conversion are not comparable to prior periods due to the former mutual holding company's waiver of its pro rata cash dividends. (2) Net interest margin is net interest income divided by average interest earning assets. (3) The efficiency ratio is recurring noninterest expense divided by the sum of net interest income and noninterest income, excluding nonrecurring items. Heritage Bank paid a one-time assessment of $1.09 million to the Savings Association Insurance Fund in November 1996 (fiscal year 1997). This amount was excluded from the calculation of the efficiency ratio for 1997. 24 ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following discussion is intended to assist in understanding the financial condition and results of operations of the Company. The information contained in this section should be read in conjunction with the December 31, 1999 audited consolidated financial statements and notes to those financial statements included in this Form 10-K. Statements concerning future performance, developments or events, concerning expectations for growth and market forecasts, and any other guidance on future periods, constitute forward-looking statements and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties which might cause actual results to differ materially from stated expectations. Specific factors include, but are not limited to the effect of interest rate changes, risks associated with acquisition of other banks and opening new branches, the ability to control costs and expenses, and general economic conditions. Additional information on these and other factors which could affect our financial results are included in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. General In the fiscal year ended June 30, 1994, we began to implement a growth strategy to broaden our products and services from traditional thrift offerings to those more closely related to commercial banking. That strategy entails: . geographic and product expansion . loan portfolio diversification . development of relationship banking . maintenance of asset quality We incurred substantial expenses as we have carried out our growth strategy. Those expenses have been concentrated in . personnel hired in anticipation of growth and expanded market share . maintaining the mortgage origination capacity during times of fluctuating mortgage origination volumes . facilities expansion . upgrading data processing capabilities These expenditures had a negative impact on our earnings in the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997, the fiscal year ended June 30, 1998 and for the six months ended December 31, 1998. Positive results from those expenditures emerged in the second half of 1999 as the efficiency ratio improved from 73.83% for 1998 to 68.27% for 1999. In the fiscal year ended June 30, 1998, our growth strategy was further bolstered by two significant events: . the January 1998 stock offering and conversion . our acquisition of North Pacific Bancorporation. Through the January 1998 stock offering, we raised $63.0 million in net new capital which has, and will continue to, enhance our ability to implement our growth strategy. Using $17.5 million of the net proceeds of the stock offering, we completed out first bank acquisition in June 1998 by purchasing all of the outstanding stock of North Pacific Bancorporation whose wholly owned subsidiary was North Pacific Bank. The acquisition of North Pacific Bank provided further geographical expansion into the Pierce County market area and enhanced 25 expertise in commercial banking. While this acquisition had a significant impact on our growth and financial condition at June 30, 1998, North Pacific Bank's operations had a minimal impact on our earnings for the year ended June 30, 1998 due to the timing of the closing of the transaction on June 12, 1998. During the six months ended December 31, 1998, we integrated the operations of North Pacific Bank into Heritage Bank culminating in the merging of data processing systems effective November 20, 1998 and substantially upgrading North Pacific Bank's item processing capability to handle existing and projected future volumes. We invested $1.1 million in item processing hardware and software and facilities which became operational in December 1998. Consistent with our strategy, on March 5, 1999 we merged with Washington Independent Bancshares, Inc., whose wholly owned subsidiary was Central Valley Bank. In the merger, we exchanged 1,058,009 shares of our common stock for all of the outstanding shares of Washington Independent common stock. This merger was accounted for as a pooling of interests and accordingly, our financial information reported herein has been restated to include the accounts and results of operations of Washington Independent for all periods presented. Net Interest Income Our profitability depends primarily on our net interest income, which is the difference between the income we receive on our loan and investment portfolios and our cost of funds, which consists of interest paid on deposits and borrowed funds. Like most financial institutions, our interest income and cost of funds are affected significantly by general economic conditions, particularly changes in market interest rates and by government policies. Changes in net interest income result from changes in volume, net interest spread and net interest margin. Volume refers to the average dollar amounts of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities. Net interest spread refers to the difference between the average yield on interest earning assets and the average cost of interest bearing liabilities. Net interest margin refers to net interest income divided by average interest earning assets and is influenced by the level and relative mix of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities. 26 The following tables set forth, for the periods indicated statistics for us related to net interest income. The average loan balances presented in the table are net of allowances for loan losses. Nonaccrual loans have been included in the tables as loans carrying a zero yield.

Financial Condition Our total assets grew $35.1 million (7.4%) to $511.0 million at December 31, 1999 from $475.9 million at December 31, 1998. The asset growth corresponds with deposit growth of $38.1 million (10.4%) to $405.1 million at December 31, 1999 from $367.0 million at December 31, 1998. Total loans grew by $90.8 million (27.8%) to $417.7 million at December 31, 1999 from $327.0 million at December 31, 1998. $63.9 million (70.4%) of the loan growth was in commercial loans as they grew to $192.1 million at December 31, 1999 from $128.2 million at December 31, 1998, an increase of 49.9%. On April 26, 1999 our board of directors authorized the repurchase in the open market of 100,000 of our shares. This was accomplished in the second quarter for $0.8 million, or $8.56 per share. On October 22, 1999 we announced our intention to repurchase up to 10% of our outstanding common shares, or approximately 1.1 million shares. During the fourth quarter of 1999, we repurchased 821,050 shares, representing 7.5% of the 10.0% of stock intended to be repurchased for $7.0 million at an average price of $8.55 per share. Subsequent to year ending December 31, 1999, on February 18, 2000, we announced the repurchase of an additional 10%, or approximately 975,000 shares. The additional share repurchase will take place over the next 18 months. Results of Operations for the Years Ended December 31, 1999 and 1998 Net Income. Our net income was $5.4 million or $0.49 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 1999 as compared to $4.9 million or $0.44 per diluted share for the same period last year. The 1998 amounts include merger related charges of $748,000 on a pre-tax basis. Excluding these charges, net income for the twelve months ended December 31, 1998 was $5.3 million or $0.48 per diluted share. These nonrecurring charges were related to severance and other costs associated with the merger and integration of North Pacific Bank into Heritage Bank in November 1998, costs associated with the formerly proposed acquisition of Harbor Bancorp which was terminated by mutual agreement in December 1998, and costs associated with the then pending acquisition of Washington Independent, which was completed March 5, 1999 and accounted for as a pooling of interests. Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased $3.3 million, or 16.4%, for the year ended December 31, 1999 compared with the same period last year, primarily as a result of the $71.4 million (24.6%) increase in the average balance of loans which was heavily concentrated in commercial loans. Average interest earning assets grew $35.1 million as average interest earning short term investments (primarily deposits) decreased by $41.6 million to fund loan growth. 31 Net interest income as a percentage of average interest earning assets (net interest margin) for the year ended December 31, 1999 increased to 5.49% from 5.14% for the same period last year. The increase was the result of strong growth in commercial loans which have higher yields and a shift away from overnight funds repossessed from the $63 million in net proceeds from the January 1998 stock offering. Our net interest spread for the year ended December 31, 1999 has increased to 4.55% from 4.03% for the prior year as a result of the decrease in the average cost of funds to 4.00% for the year ended December 31, 1999 from 4.49% for the same period last year. This resulted from our efforts, particularly during 1998 at lowering the cost of deposits. Although retail deposit balances declined, it had its desired effect on our cost of funds. Provision for Loan Losses. During the year ended December 31, 1999,we provided $408,000 through operations to maintain our allowance for loan losses at an adequate level during a time of change in loan portfolio composition and loan growth. In the year ended December 31, 1999, we experienced net charge- offs of $101,000. While our loan portfolio, and in particular commercial loans, have grown substantially over the past three years, our asset quality has remained very solid as demonstrated by the nonperforming assets to total assets ratio of 0.35% at December 31, 1999. Because commercial business lending generally involves greater risk than those associated with residential and commercial real estate lending, we have increased the portion of our general allowance for loan losses allocated to our commercial loans over the past three years. We consider the allowance for loan losses at December 31, 1999 to be adequate to cover reasonably foreseeable loan losses based on our assessment of various factors affecting the loan portfolio, including the level of problem loans, business conditions, estimated collateral values, loss experience and credit concentrations. Noninterest Income. Total noninterest income decreased $1.1 million (21.8%) for the year ended December 31, 1999 compared with the prior year. The decline is attributable to the region wide reduction in the level of mortgage banking activity particularly for refinanced mortgages. Loan sale gains fell $1.5 million to $1.1 million for 1999 from $2.6 million in 1998, a decline of 58.5%. Total mortgage production of $78.2 million during the year ended December 31, 1999 was down from the prior year production of $132.2 million by $54.0 million (40.8%). Noninterest Expense. Total noninterest expense increased $1.3 million (7.5%) for the year ended 1999 compared to the 1998 period. 1998 included $748,000 in charges related to severance and other costs associated with the merger and integration of North Pacific Bank into Heritage Bank in November 1998, costs associated with the formerly proposed acquisition of Harbor Bancorp terminated by mutual agreement in December 1998 and costs associated with the then pending acquisition of Washington Independent. Excluding these non recurring charges from 1998, noninterest expense increased $2.1 million (11.8%) primarily in the areas of salaries and benefits, occupancy, amortization of goodwill and other expenses related to the strengthening of our capabilities in commercial lending, plus a full year's impact of North Pacific Bank's operations which had impacted only the second half of 1998. Our efficiency ratio for 1999 was 68.27%, compared with 69.02% for the same twelve month period in 1998. Results of Operations for the Six Month Periods Ended December 31, 1998 and 1997 Net Income. Our net income before merger related charges was $2.7 million or $0.24 per diluted share for the six months ended December 31, 1998 as compared to $1.6 million or $0.15 per diluted share for the same period in 1997. Including merger related charges of $748,000 on a pre-tax basis, net income for the six months ended December 31, 1998 was $2.2 million or $0.20 per diluted share. These nonrecurring charges were related to severance and other costs associated with the merger and integration of North Pacific Bank into Heritage Bank in November 1998, costs associated with the formerly proposed acquisition of Harbor Bancorp which was terminated by mutual agreement in December 1998, and costs associated with the pending acquisition of Washington Independent, which was completed on March 5, 1999 and accounted for as a pooling of interests. Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased $4.0 million, or 57.7%, for the six months ended December 31, 1998 compared with the same period in 1997, primarily as a result of a $145.9 million increase in the average balance of interest earning assets. This growth in interest earning assets was attributable to 32 $68.9 million in interest earning assets acquired through North Pacific Bank in June 1998 and the interest earning assets funded by the $63 million in net proceeds raised in our January 1998 stock offering. Average loan balances increased $75.9 million, or 31.1%, which was concentrated in commercial loans. Net interest income as a percentage of average interest earning assets (net interest margin) annualized for the six months ended December 31, 1998 increased to 5.16% from 4.97% for the same period in 1997. The increase was the result of strong growth in commercial loans which have higher yields and a lower cost funding mix attributable to the $63 million in net proceeds from our January 1998 stock offering and the addition of lower cost deposits acquired with North Pacific Bank. The significant shift in our funding mix is demonstrated in our ratio of average interest earning assets to average interest bearing liabilities which increased to 130.77% for the six months ended December 31, 1998 from 112.72% for the same period in 1997. This ratio indicates that we are funding more of our earning asset growth with noninterest bearing funds (capital and noninterest bearing deposits). Our net interest spread annualized for the six months ended December 31, 1998 declined to 4.13% from 4.45% for the same period in 1997 as a result of the decrease in the average yield on earning assets to 8.54% for the six months ended December 31, 1998 from 9.13% for the same period last year. The increase in the average balances of investment securities and interest earning deposits at yields significantly below the average earning asset yield, as well as the decline in market interest rates, had the effect of decreasing the overall earning asset yield for the six months ended December 31, 1998. Provision for Loan Losses. During the six months ended December 31, 1998, We provided $202,000 through operations to maintain our allowance for loan losses at an adequate level during a time of change in loan portfolio composition and loan growth. In the six months ended December 31, 1998, we experienced net charge-offs of $174,000, most of which were related to loans originated and classified by North Pacific Bank prior to our acquisition of North Pacific Bank in June 1998. While our loan portfolio, and in particular commercial loans, have grown substantially from 1995 to 1998, our asset quality remained very solid as demonstrated by the nonperforming assets to total assets ratio of 0.08% at December 31, 1998. Because commercial business lending generally involves greater risk than those associated with residential and commercial real estate lending, we increased the portion of our general allowance for loan losses allocated to our commercial loans during those years. We considered the allowance for loan losses at December 31, 1998 to be adequate to cover reasonably foreseeable loan losses based on our assessment of various factors affecting the loan portfolio, including the level of problem loans, business conditions, estimated collateral values, loss experience and credit concentrations. Noninterest Income. Total noninterest income increased $903,000, or 45.2%, for the six months ended December 31, 1998 compared with the same period in 1997. This increase was primarily due to increases in gains on sales of loans, service charges on deposits and other income. Gains on sales of loans increased $195,000, or 17.7% for the 1998 period compared to the same period in 1997 due to the 27.2% increase in the volume of mortgage loans sold in the 1998 period. Service charges on deposits increased $228,000, or 52.7%, as a result of growth in business and personal checking accounts. Other income increased $446,000, or 157.0%, for the 1998 period due to $120,000 in fees from vehicle licensing activities (performed by a former subsidiary of North Pacific Bank) as well as increases in the volume of loan servicing fees and merchant card processing fees. Noninterest Expense. Total noninterest expense increased $3.8 million, or 58.1%, for the 1998 period compared to the 1997 period. This $3.8 million increase included $748,000 in merger related charges related to severance and other costs associated with the merger and integration of North Pacific Bank into Heritage Bank in November 1998, costs associated with the formerly proposed acquisition of Harbor Bancorp which was terminated by mutual agreement in December 1998 and costs associated with the then pending acquisition of Washington Independent. Excluding merger related charges, noninterest expense increased $3.2 million, or 50.5%, primarily in the areas of salaries and employee benefits, occupancy, amortization of goodwill and other noninterest expenses due to the impact of the acquisition and integration of the operations of North Pacific Bank. Total noninterest expense (adjusted for the nonrecurring merger related charges) was 69.5% of total revenue (the sum of net interest income and noninterest income) for the six months ended December 31, 1998 as compared to 72.9% for the six months ended December 31, 1997. 33 Results of Operations for the Years Ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 Net Income. Our earnings increased to $4.3 million, or $0.40 per diluted share, for the year ended June 30, 1998, compared with $2.6 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, for the same period in 1997, an increase of 63.9%. The increase in net income was primarily attributable to a $67.9 million increase in the average balance of earning assets and a widening of the net interest margin. The majority of the increase in earning assets and the widening of the net interest margin was the result of the large influx of equity capital ($63 million) from our January 1998 stock offering. Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased $4.1 million, or 33.7% in 1998 compared to 1997, primarily as a result of a $67.9 million increase in the average balance of interest earning assets. This growth in interest earning assets was funded by the $63.0 million in net proceeds raised in our January 1998 stock offering. Average loan balances increased $38.3 million, or 17.9%, which was concentrated in commercial loans with higher yields. Net interest income as a percentage of average interest earning assets (net interest margin) for 1998 increased to 5.05% from 4.80% in 1997. The increase was primarily attributable to growth in earning assets combined with a significant shift in our funding mix due to the funds raised in our stock offering. This is demonstrated by the increase in our ratio of average interest earning assets to average interest bearing liabilities to 124.49% for 1998 from 112.02% for 1997 which indicates that we are funding more of our earning asset growth with non-interest bearing funds (capital and noninterest bearing deposits). Our net interest spread for 1998 declined to 4.14% from 4.30% for 1997 as a result of the decrease in the average yield on earning assets to 8.77% for 1998 from 8.95% for 1997. Although the average yield on loans increased to 9.55% for 1998 from 9.46% for 1997 due primarily to the growth in commercial loans with higher yields, the increase in the average balances of investment securities and interest earning deposits at yields significantly below the average earning asset yield had the effect of decreasing the overall earning asset yield for 1998. Provision for Loan Losses. During 1998, we provided $149,000 through operations to maintain our allowance for loan losses at an adequate level during a time of change in loan portfolio composition and loan growth. In 1997, we recorded a $1.2 million recovery on a multifamily mortgage loan which had been partially charged off in a prior year. In reviewing the adequacy of our allowance for loan losses as of June 30, 1997, we determined that the allowance balance was more than adequate to cover any potential losses in our loan portfolio and therefore reduced the allowance balance through a $265,000 negative provision for loan losses. We considered the allowance for loan losses at June 30, 1998 to be adequate to cover reasonably foreseeable loan losses based on our assessment of various factors affecting the loan portfolio, including the level of problem loans, business conditions, estimated collateral values, loss experience and credit concentrations. Noninterest Income. Total noninterest income increased $513,000, or 13.7%, for 1998 compared with 1997 primarily due to the $400,000, or 19.9%, increase in gains on sales of loans for 1998. The increase in gains on sales of loans was attributable to the 17.1% increase in the volume of mortgages sold ($101.9 million for 1998 compared to $87.0 million for 1997) and the 14.0% increase in residential mortgage loan originations for 1998 compared to 1997. Commissions on sales of annuities and securities decreased $69,000, or 31.4%, as a result of lower sales volume due to staff turnover. Service charges on deposits increased $157,000, or 19.8%, due to growth in personal and business checking accounts. Other income increased $27,000, or 5.2%, for 1998 due to increases in the volume of fees related to merchant credit card processing and customer check ordering activity. Noninterest Expense. Total noninterest expense decreased $244,000, or 0.2%, in 1998 compared with 1997. Excluding the $1.1 million special SAIF assessment in 1997, noninterest expense in 1998 increased $1.3 million, or 10.9%, compared with adjusted 1997 expense levels. The increase in noninterest expenses during 1998 were concentrated in data processing and marketing expenses and represent a continuation of our 34 implementation of our growth strategy, specifically, geographical and product expansion, development of relationship banking and loan portfolio diversification. We have developed business checking accounts and commercial lending products and services for businesses and their owners; introduced credit and debit cards; installed an automated response system for customer account inquiries and developed products to assist realtors and potential borrowers to obtain information about loan programs. Total noninterest expense was 66.70% of total revenue (the sum of net interest income and noninterest income) for the year ended June 30, 1998 as compared to 76.89% (adjusted for the nonrecurring SAIF assessment) for 1997. Salaries and employee benefits increased $695,000, or 10.2%, for 1998 as a result of increases in mortgage commissions, salaries and benefits related to North Pacific Bank employees for June 1998 and increases in payroll taxes, health insurance and other employee benefits. Mortgage commissions increased $146,000, or 21.3%, due to the increased volume of residential mortgage loans originated and the increased proportion of that volume produced by commissioned loan officers. The increases in data processing, marketing and other expenses were due to our implementation of our growth strategy as described in the paragraph above. Liquidity and Capital Resources Our primary sources of funds are deposits, loan repayments, loan sales, maturing investment securities and advances from the FHLB of Seattle. These funds, together with retained earnings, equity and other borrowed funds, are used to make loans, acquire investment securities and other assets and to fund continuing operations. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans are a predictable source of funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by the level of interest rates, economic conditions and competition. We must maintain an adequate level of liquidity to ensure the availability of sufficient funds to fund loan originations and deposit withdrawals, to satisfy other financial commitments and to fund operations. We generally maintain sufficient cash and short term investments to meet short term liquidity needs. At December 31, 1999 cash and cash equivalents totaled $20.6 million, or 4.0% of total assets. At December 31, 1999, Heritage Bank maintained a credit facility with the FHLB of Seattle for $89.2 million (of which only $2.8 million was outstanding at that date). To fund growth in 1999, our strategy has been to acquire core deposits (which we define to include all deposits except public funds) from our retail accounts, non interest bearing demand deposits from our commercial customers and public funds from the State of Washington. Total deposits increased $38.1 million, or 10.4%, to $405.1 million at December 31, 1999 from $367.0 million at December 31, 1998. The largest increase in deposits occurred in public funds which grew $49.3 million. In the month of December we increased our public deposit totals to give us additional short term funds to provide for exigencies over the Y2K year end. Year to year non-interest bearing demand deposits grew by $4.0 million while all other deposits declined by $15.2 million. The decline in all other deposits occurred primarily in retail time certificates of deposit which management made a conscious decision in the first half of year to price less aggressively expecting to incur runoff. We anticipate that we will continue to rely on the same sources of funds in the future and will use those funds primarily to make loans and purchase investment securities. Loan growth was also funded in 1999 through a reduction in cash (cash on hand and in banks, interest earning overnight deposits, and federal funds sold) of $50.3 million or 70.9% to $20.6 million at December 31, 1999 from $70.6 million at December 31, 1998. We and our banks are subject to various regulatory capital requirements. As of December 31, 1999, we and our banks were classified as "well capitalized" institutions under the criteria established by the FDIC Act. As of June 30, 1997 , 1998, and December 31, 1998 Heritage Bank was also classified as a "well capitalized" institution. Asset/Liability Management Our primary financial objective is to achieve long term profitability while controlling our exposure to fluctuations in market interest rates. To accomplish this objective, we have formulated an interest rate risk 35 management policy that attempts to manage the mismatch between asset and liability maturities while maintaining an acceptable interest rate sensitivity position. The principal strategies which we employ to control our interest rate sensitivity are: the sale of most long term, fixed rate, one- to four- family residential mortgage loan originations; the origination of commercial loans and residential construction loans at variable interest rates for terms generally one year or less; and offering noninterest bearing demand deposit accounts to businesses and individuals. The longer term objective is to increase the proportion of noninterest bearing demand deposits, interest bearing demand deposits and money market accounts and savings deposits relative to certificates of deposit thereby reducing interest sensitivity and risk Our asset and liability management strategies have resulted in a modest positive "gap" of 1.83% for the 0-3 month period and an equally modest negative one year "gap" of (1.66)% as of December 31, 1999. These "gaps" measure the difference between the dollar amount of our interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities that mature or reprice within the designated period (0-3 months and one year) as a percentage of total interest earning assets, based on certain estimates and assumptions as discussed below. The acquisition of North Pacific Bank accelerated our progress toward our objective of achieving balance by adding more variable rate commercial loans to our loan portfolio and reducing the percentage of certificates of deposit to total deposits from 60.4% as of June 30, 1997 to 47.9% as of December 31, 1998 with a small increase to 49.2% as of December 31, 1999. We believe that the implementation of our operating strategies has reduced the potential effects of changes in market interest rates on our results of operations. The continuing positive gap for the 0-3 month period indicates that decreases in market interest rates may adversely affect our results in the near term. 36 The following table sets forth the estimated maturity or repricing and the resulting interest rate sensitivity gap of our interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities at December 31, 1999 based upon estimates of expected mortgage prepayment rates and deposit decay rates consistent with national trends. We have adjusted mortgage loan maturities for loans held for sale by reflecting these loans in the zero to three month category which is consistent with their sale in the secondary mortgage market. The amounts in the table are derived from our internal data, and because certain assumptions have been utilized in presenting this data, the amounts may not be consistent with financial information appearing elsewhere in this document that have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The amounts in the tables also could be significantly affected by external factors, such as changes in prepayment assumptions, early withdrawal of deposits and competition.

Certain shortcomings are inherent in the method of analysis presented in the foregoing table. For example, although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or periods to repricing, they may react in different degrees to changes in market interest rates. Also, the interest rates on some types of assets and liabilities may fluctuate in advance of changes in market interest rates, while interest rates on other types may lag behind changes in market interest rates. Additionally, some assets, such as adjustable rate mortgages, have features which restrict changes in the interest rates of those assets both on a short term basis and over the lives of such assets. Further, in the event of a change in market interest rates, prepayment and early withdrawal levels could deviate significantly from those assumed in calculating the tables. Finally, the ability of many borrowers to service their adjustable rate debt may decrease in the event of a substantial increase in market interest rates. Year 2000 Issues We utilize various computer software programs to provide banking products and services to our customers. Many existing computer programs used only two digits to identify a year in the date field and were not designed to consider the impact of the change in the century. If not corrected, many computer applications could have failed or created erroneous results on or at the Year 2000. The Year 2000 issue affected virtually all companies and organizations. We spent approximately $315,000 analyzing, testing, upgrading systems, and planning for possible contingencies to assure our customers, stockholders, and the general public that we would be able to facilitate 37 the delivery of our financial services. As a result of these efforts, we experienced no events, major or otherwise, related to the programming problem. Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices The primary impact of inflation on our operations is increased operating costs. Unlike most industrial companies, virtually all the assets and liabilities of a financial institution are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates generally have a more significant impact on a financial institution's performance than the effects of general levels of inflation. Although interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or to the same extent as the prices of goods and services, increases in inflation generally have resulted in increased interest rates. Recent Financial Accounting Pronouncements In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" This statement establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, (collectively referred to as derivatives) and for hedging activities. In May 1999, the Financial Accounting Standards Board delayed the effective date of SFAS No. 133 to fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000, with interim reporting required. We do not expect that application of this statement will have a material effect on our results of operations or the financial position. In October 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 134 (which amended Statement No. 65), "Accounting for Certain Mortgage Banking Activities." This statement establishes accounting and reporting standards for securities retained after the securitization of mortgage loans and was adopted by us on January 1, 1999. The adoption of SFAS No. 134 did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations. ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK We are exposed to interest rate risk through our lending and deposit gathering activities. For a discussion of how this exposure is managed and the nature of changes in our interest rate risk profile during the past year, see "Asset/Liability Management." Neither we nor our banks maintain a trading account for any class of financial instrument, nor do we or they engage in hedging activities or purchase high risk derivative instruments. Moreover, neither we nor our banks are subject to foreign currency exchange rate risk or commodity price risk. 38 The table below provides information as of December 31, 1999 about our financial instruments that are sensitive to changes in interest rates. The table presents principal cash flows and related weighted average interest rates by expected maturity dates. The data in this table may not be consistent with the amounts in the preceding table which represents amounts by the repricing date or maturity date (whichever occurs sooner) adjusted by estimates such as mortgage prepayments and deposit decay or early withdrawal rates.

F-1 Independent Auditors' Report The Board of Directors Heritage Financial Corporation: We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial condition of Heritage Financial Corporation and subsidiaries (Corporation) as of December 31, 1998 and 1999, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity and comprehensive income, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended June 30, 1998, for the six-month period ended December 31, 1998 and for the year ended December 31, 1999. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Heritage Financial Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1998 and 1999, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended June 30, 1998, for the six-month period ended December 31, 1998 and for the year ended December 31, 1999 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. /s/ KPMG LLP Seattle, Washington February 4, 2000 F-2 HERITAGE FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION December 31, 1998 and 1999 (Dollars in thousands)

Central Valley Bank is a National Bank whose deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) under the Bank Insurance Fund (BIF). Central Valley Bank conducts business from its main office in Toppenish, Washington, and its four branch offices located in Yakima County. Effective June 12, 1998, the Company acquired North Pacific Bank, a Washington-chartered commercial bank which was merged into Heritage Bank effective November 20, 1998. The Company's business consists primarily of focusing on lending and deposit relationships with small businesses including agribusiness and their owners in its market area, attracting deposits from the general public and originating for sale or investment purposes first mortgage loans on residential properties located in western and central Washington. The Company also makes residential construction loans, income property loans and consumer loans. (b) Basis of Presentation The accounting and reporting policies of the Company and its subsidiaries conform to generally accepted accounting principles. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expense during the reported periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Effective March 5, 1999, the company acquired all of the outstanding common stock of Washington Independent Bancshares, Inc., (whose wholly owned subsidiary is Central Valley Bank, N.A., Toppenish, Washington) in exchange for 1,058,009 shares of Heritage common stock. This transaction was accounted for as a pooling of interest and, accordingly, the Company's financial information reported herein has been restated to include the accounts and results of operations of Washington Independent Bancshares, Inc., for all periods presented. The financial statements shown herein prior to the January 8, 1998 stock conversion exclude the Company and are for Heritage Bank and Washington Independent Bancshares, Inc. only as the Company did not engage in any material transactions until after January 8, 1998. All significant intercompany balances and transactions among the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain amounts in the consolidated financial statements for prior years have been reclassified to conform to the current consolidated financial statement presentation. F-7 HERITAGE FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued) (Dollars in thousands) On October 28, 1998, the Company's Board of Directors voted to change the Company's fiscal year ending June 30 to a calendar year beginning January 1st and ending December 31st. (c) Cash and Cash Equivalents For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand and in banks, interest bearing deposits, and fed funds sold. (d) Investment Securities Securities are classified as held to maturity when the Company has the ability and positive intent to hold them to maturity. Securities classified as available for sale are available for future liquidity requirements and may be sold prior to maturity. Investment securities held to maturity are recorded at cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums or accretion of discounts using the straight line method. Securities available for sale are carried at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale are excluded from earnings and are reported net of tax as a separate component (Accumulated other comprehensive income) of stockholders' equity until realized. Realized gains and losses on sale are computed on the specific identification method. (e) Loans Receivable and Loans Held for Sale Loans are generally recorded at cost, net of discounts, unearned fees and deferred fees. Discounts and premiums on purchased loans are amortized using the interest method over the remaining contractual life, adjusted for actual prepayments. Mortgage loans held for sale are carried at the lower of amortized cost or market value determined on an aggregate basis. Any loan that management determines will not be held to maturity is classified as held for sale at the time of origination, purchase or securitization. Unrealized losses on such loans are included in income. (f) Loan Fees Loan origination fees and certain direct origination costs are deferred and amortized as an adjustment of the yields of the loans over their contractual lives, adjusted for prepayment of the loans, using the interest method. In the event loans are sold, the deferred net loan origination fees or costs are recognized as a component of the gains or losses on the sales of loans. (g) Allowance for Loan Losses A valuation allowance for loans is based on management's estimate of the amount necessary to recognize possible losses inherent in the loan portfolio. In determining the level to be maintained, management evaluates many factors including the borrowers' ability to repay, economic and market trends and conditions, holding costs and absorption periods. In the opinion of management, the present allowance is adequate to absorb reasonably foreseeable loan losses at December 31, 1999. While management uses available information to recognize losses on these loans, future additions to the allowances may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Bank's allowance for losses on loans. Such agencies may require the Bank to make additions to the allowance based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examinations. F-8 HERITAGE FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued) (Dollars in thousands) (h) Impaired Loans The accrual of interest on loans is discontinued and the loan is considered impaired when, in the opinion of management, the collectibility of principal or interest is in doubt or generally when the loans are contractually past due 90 days or more with respect to principal or interest. When accrual of interest is discontinued on a loan, the interest accrued but not collected is charged against operations. Thereafter, payments received are generally applied to principal. However, based on management's assessment of the ultimate collectibility of an impaired or nonaccrual loan, interest income may be recognized on a cash basis. Impaired loans and other nonaccrual loans are returned to an accrual status when management determines that the circumstances have improved to the extent that there has been a sustained period of repayment performance and both principal and interest are deemed collectible. (i) Mortgage Banking Operations Heritage Bank sells mortgage loans primarily on a servicing released basis and recognizes a cash gain or loss. A cash gain or loss is recognized to the extent that the sales proceeds of the mortgage loans sold exceed or are less than the net book value at the time of sale. Loan servicing income is recorded when earned. Loan servicing costs are charged to expense as incurred. (j) Real Estate Owned Real estate acquired by the Bank in satisfaction of debt is recorded at fair value at time of foreclosure and is carried at the lower of the new cost basis or fair value. Subsequently, foreclosed assets are carried at the lower of cost or fair value less estimated costs to sell. (k) Premises and Equipment Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight- line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives used to compute depreciation and amortization for buildings and building improvements, is 30 to 40 years; and for furniture, fixtures and equipment, 3 to 10 years. (l) Goodwill Goodwill represents the costs in excess of net assets acquired arising from the purchase of North Pacific Bank and is being amortized on a straight line basis over 15 years. The Company will periodically evaluate goodwill for impairment. (m) Federal Income Taxes Deferred taxes result from the timing differences in the recognition of certain income and expense amounts between the Company's financial statements and its tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are reflected at currently enacted income tax rates applicable to the period in which the deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be realized or settled. As tax laws change or rates enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for income taxes. F-9 HERITAGE FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued) (Dollars in thousands) (n) Employee Stock Ownership Plan Heritage Bank sponsors an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). The ESOP purchased 2% of the common stock issued in the January 1998 stock offering and borrowed from the Company in order to fund the purchase of the Company's common stock. The loan to the ESOP will be repaid principally from the Bank's contributions to the ESOP. The Bank's contributions will be sufficient to service the debt over the 15 year loan term at the interest rate of 8.5%, after the effect of cash dividends on unallocated shares. As the debt is repaid, shares are released and allocated to plan participants based on the proportion of debt service paid during the year. As shares are released, compensation expense is recorded equal to the then current market price of the shares and the shares become outstanding for earnings per share calculations. Cash dividends on allocated shares are recorded as a reduction of retained earnings and paid or distributed directly to participants' accounts. Cash dividends on unallocated shares are recorded as a reduction of debt and accrued interest. (o) Recent Financial Accounting Pronouncements In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". This statement establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts (collectively referred to as derivatives) and for hedging activities. In May 1999, the FASB delayed the effective date of SFAS No. 133 to fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000, with interim reporting required. Management does not expect that application of this statement will have a material effect on the results of operations or the financial position of the Corporations. In October 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 134 (which amended SFAS No. 65), "Accounting for Certain Mortgage Banking Activities." This statement establishes accounting and reporting standards for securities retained after the securitization of mortgage loans and was adopted by the Company on January 1, 1999. The adoption of SFAS No. 134 did not have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations. F-10 HERITAGE FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued) (Dollars in thousands) (2) Business Combinations a. North Pacific Bank The Company completed the acquisition of North Pacific Bank effective June 12, 1998. The Company paid the former stockholder of North Pacific Bancorporation $17.5 million in cash for the common stock of North Pacific Bancorporation. This acquisition was treated as a purchase for accounting purposes. Accordingly, under generally accepted accounting principles, the assets and liabilities of North Pacific Bank have been recorded on the books of the Company at their respective fair values at the date the acquisition was consummated. Goodwill, the excess of the purchase price (cost) over the net fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired, was recorded at $8.6 million. Accumulated amortization of goodwill amounted to $288 and $865 as of December 31, 1998 and December 31, 1999, respectively. The following are the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the June 12, 1998 acquisition date: Cash acquired, net of cash paid for acquisition..................... $10,573 Securities.......................................................... 12,277 Loans, net.......................................................... 48,620 Premises and equipment.............................................. 4,397 Goodwill............................................................ 8,631 Other assets........................................................ 499 ------- Total assets...................................................... $84,997 ======= Deposits............................................................ $82,410 FHLB advances....................................................... 698 Other borrowed funds................................................ 947 Deferred federal income taxes....................................... 499 Other liabilities................................................... 443 ------- Total liabilities................................................. $84,997 =======

F-11 HERITAGE FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued) (Dollars in thousands) b. Washington Independent Bancshsares, Inc On September 28, 1998, the Company entered into a definitive merger agreement with Washington Independent Bancshares, Inc. (WIB) whereby the Company would acquire all of the outstanding common stock of WIB (whose wholly owned subsidiary is Central Valley Bank, NA, Toppenish, Washington). The transaction closed on March 5, 1999, and the Company exchanged 1,058,009 shares of its common stock for all of the outstanding WIB common stock, and merged WIB into Heritage Financial Corporation. This transaction was accounted for as a pooling of interests and accordingly, the Company's historical consolidated financial statements presented in this and all future reports will include the accounts and results of operations of WIB, primarily consisting of its subsidiary, Central Valley Bank. A summary of revenue and net income previously presented by the Company and combined with WIB for the years ended June 30, 1997, June 30, 1998, and the six months ended December 31, 1998 are as follows:

F-12 HERITAGE FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued) (Dollars in thousands) Accrued interest on loans receivable amounted to $2,097 and $2,505 as of December 31, 1998 and December 31, 1999, respectively. The Company had $401 and $1,804 of impaired loans which were nonaccruing as of December 31, 1998 and December 31, 1999, respectively. The weighted average interest rate on loans was 8.6% for both December 31, 1998 and December 31, 1999. Details of certain mortgage banking activities are as follows:
December 31, --------------- 1998 1999 ------- ------- Loans held for sale at lower of cost or market................ $ 7,618 $ 589 Loans serviced for others..................................... 18,832 13,086 Commitments to sell mortgage loans............................ 11,533 1,895 Commitments to fund mortgage loans (at interest rates approximating market rates) Fixed rate.................................................. 4,704 540 Variable or adjustable rate................................. -- --
Servicing fee income from mortgage loans serviced for others amounted to $72, $56, $22, and $34 for the years ended June 30, 1997, June 30, 1998, the six months ended December 31, 1998, and the year ended December 31, 1999, respectively. Commitments to sell mortgage loans are made primarily during the period between the taking of the loan application and the closing of the mortgage loan. The timing of making these sale commitments is dependent upon the timing of the borrower's election to lock-in the mortgage interest rate and fees prior to loan closing. Most of these sale commitments are made on a best- efforts basis whereby the Bank is only obligated to sell the mortgage if the mortgage loan is approved and closed by the Bank. As of December 31, 1999, the Company had commitments of $48.0 million in other commercial lines of credit, $32.4 million in real estate commitments (both construction and lines of credit), and $7.5 million in other commitments (including consumer credit lines and letters of credit).

In May 1996, the Bank sold its interest in two loans which were partially charged off. This sale resulted in an excess of net proceeds over the book basis of these loans of $1.3 million. The Bank recorded a recovery of $148 in 1996 which was the pro rata portion of the sale proceeds received in cash versus the amount the Bank financed for the purchaser. The additional $1,152 was recognized as a recovery in 1997 when the Bank received additional collateral on this financing. F-13 HERITAGE FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued) (Dollars in thousands) Interest on nonaccrual loans foregone was $11 and $60 for the six months ended December 31, 1998 and the year ended December 31, 1999.

Heritage Bank has been permitted under the Internal Revenue Code to deduct an annual addition to a reserve for bad debts in determining taxable income, subject to certain limitations. The deduction was based on either specified experience formulas or a percentage of taxable income before such deduction. Heritage Bank used the percentage of taxable income method for the years ended June 30, 1995 and 1996. This deduction was historically greater than the loan loss provisions recorded for financial accounting purposes. Deferred income taxes are provided on differences between the bad debt reserve for tax and financial reporting purposes only to the extent of the tax reserves arising subsequent to June 30, 1988. Savings institutions were not required to provide a deferred tax liability for the tax bad debt reserves accumulated as of June 30, 1988 which for Heritage Bank amounted to $938. Starting in the fiscal year ended June 30, 1994, The Bank established and maintained a deferred income tax liability of $938 due to the potential recapture of the pre-1988 tax bad debt reserve which could have been triggered by the formation of the mutual holding company; a change to a commercial bank charter (which management had been contemplating); or possible legislation which was being debated in Congress. Legislation enacted in August 1996 eliminated certain conditions under which recapture of the pre-1988 additions to the tax bad debt reserve would be required. Such conditions are principally conversion to a commercial bank charter or merger with a commercial bank. The pre-1988 reserves would be required to be recaptured under certain other conditions such as payment of dividends in excess of accumulated earnings and profits or other distributions made in connection with the dissolution or liquidation of the Bank. Based on this legislation, Heritage Bank reversed the $938 deferred tax liability as a reduction of Federal income tax expense during the year ended June 30, 1997. F-18 HERITAGE FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued) (Dollars in thousands) The following table presents major components of the deferred Federal income tax liability resulting from differences between financial reporting and tax bases.

The realization of the Company's deferred tax assets is dependent upon the Company's ability to generate taxable income in future periods. Management has evaluated available evidence supporting the realization of its deferred tax assets and determined it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets will be realized. (12) Stockholders' Equity (a) Stock Offering and Conversion Effective January 8, 1998, the Company sold 6.6 million shares of its common stock at a subscription price of $10 per share to the Bank's customers, its existing stockholders and the general public. Of the 1.8 million shares of Heritage Savings Bank common stock outstanding at December 31, 1997, 1.2 million shares owned by Heritage Financial Corporation, M.H.C. (the "Mutual Holding Company") were canceled on January 8, 1998 and the Mutual Holding Company was merged into the Bank. The remaining 0.6 million shares of the Bank's common stock owned by its stockholders were converted into 3.1 million shares of the Company's common stock outstanding. Concurrent with the January 1998 stock conversion ("Conversion"), Heritage Savings Bank established a liquidation account equal to $18.4 million which represents the Mutual Holding Company's ownership interest in its Bank subsidiary at June 30, 1997 plus the amount of dividends waived by the Mutual Holding Company. The liquidation account is maintained for the benefit of eligible depositors who maintain eligible accounts in the Bank after the conversion. In the event of a complete liquidation of the Bank (and only in such an event), eligible depositors who continue to maintain eligible accounts shall be entitled to receive a distribution from the liquidation account before any liquidating distribution may be made with respect to common stock. F-19 HERITAGE FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued) (Dollars in thousands) On April 26, 1999 board of directors of the Company authorized the repurchase in the open market of 100,000 of our shares. This was accomplished in the second quarter for $0.8 million, or $8.56 per share. On October 22, 1999 the Company announced its intention to repurchase up to 10% of its outstanding common shares, or approximately 1.1 million shares. During the fourth quarter of 1999, the Company repurchased 821,050 shares, representing 7.5% of the 10.0% of stock intended to be repurchased for $7.0 million at an average price of $8.55 per share. On February 18, 2000, the Company announced the repurchase of an additional 10%, or approximately 975,000 shares. The additional share repurchase will take place over the next 18 months. (b) Earnings Per Common Share The following table illustrates the reconciliation of weighted average shares used for earnings per share computations:

For purposes of calculating basic and diluted EPS, the numerator of net income is the same. Earnings per share information for periods prior to January 8, 1998 is based on the historical weighted average common shares outstanding for the Bank during the applicable period multiplied by the exchange ratio utilized in the stock conversion (5.1492). On January 8, 1998, the former stockholders of the Bank received 5.1492 shares of the Company's common stock for each share of the Bank's common stock exchanged. There were 92,700 shares and 96,150 shares of common stock outstanding at December 31, 1998 and December 31, 1999 whose share price were greater than the market price of the common stock and therefore not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share. There were no antidilutive outstanding options to purchase common stock at June 30, 1998, and June 30, 1997. (c) Cash Dividend Declared On December 16, 1999, the Company announced a quarterly cash dividend of 7 cents per share payable on January 27, 2000, to shareholders of record on January 14, 2000. (d) Restrictions on Dividends Dividends from the Company depend, in part, upon receipt of dividends from its subsidiary banks because the Company currently has no source of income other than dividends from Heritage Bank, Central Valley Bank, and earnings from the investment of the net proceeds from the Conversion retained by the Company. F-20 HERITAGE FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued) (Dollars in thousands) The FDIC and the Washington State Department of Financial Institutions ("DFI") have the authority under their supervisory powers to prohibit the payment of dividends by the Heritage Bank to the Company. For a period of ten years after the Conversion, Heritage Bank may not, without prior approval of the DFI, declare or pay a cash dividend in an amount in excess of one-half of (i) the greater of the Bank's net income for the current fiscal year or (ii) the average of the Bank's net income for the current fiscal year and not more than two of the immediately preceding fiscal years. In addition, the banks may not declare or pay a cash dividend on its common stock if the effect thereof would be to reduce the net worth of the Bank below the amount required for the liquidation account. Other than the specific restrictions mentioned above, current regulations allow the Company and its subsidiary banks to pay dividends on their common stock if the Company's or Bank's regulatory capital would not be reduced below the statutory capital requirements set by the Federal Reserve and the FDIC. For Central Valley Bank the approval of the Comptroller of the Currency shall be required if the total of all dividends declared by Central Valley Bank in any calendar year exceeds the total of its net income of that year combined with its retained net income of the preceding two years, less any required transfers to surplus or a fund for the retirement of any preferred stock. (13) Regulatory Capital Requirements The Company is a bank holding company under the supervision of the Federal Reserve Bank. Bank holding companies are subject to capital adequacy requirements of the Federal Reserve under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, and the regulations of the Federal Reserve. Heritage Bank and Central Valley Bank are federally insured institutions and thereby subject to the capital requirements established by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). The Federal Reserve requirements generally parallel the FDIC requirements. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and possibly additional discretionary, actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company's financial statements. Pursuant to minimum capital requirements of the FDIC, the Bank is required to maintain a leverage ratio (capital to assets ratio) of 3% and risk-based capital ratios of Tier 1 capital and total capital (to total risk-weighted assets) of 4% and 8%, respectively. At December 31, 1998, and 1999, the Company exceeded the minimum capital requirements and the requirements for well capitalized institutions as shown below. As of December 31, 1998 and December 31, 1999, Heritage Bank and Central Valley Bank were both classified as "well capitalized" institutions under the criteria established by the FDIC Act. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Bank's classification as a well capitalized institution.

(14) Stock Option Plans In September 1994, the Bank's stockholders approved the adoption of the 1994 stock option plan, providing for the award of a restricted stock award to a key officer, incentive stock options to employees and nonqualified stock options to directors of the Bank at the discretion of the Board of Directors. On September 24, 1996, the Bank's stockholders approved the adoption of the 1997 stock option plan which is generally similar to the 1994 plan. On October 15, 1998, the Company's stockholders approved the adoption of the 1998 stock option plan which is similar to the 1994 and 1997 plans. The 1998 plan does not affect any options granted under the 1994 or 1997 plans. Under these stock option plans, on the date of grant, the exercise price of the option must at least equal the market value per share of the Bank's or Company's common stock. The 1994 plan provides for the grant of F-22 HERITAGE FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued) (Dollars in thousands) options and stock awards up to 67,000 shares. The 1997 plan provides for the granting of options and stock awards for up to 50,000 common shares. The above 117,000 shares approved under the 1994 and 1997 plans for the grant of options and stock awards were converted to 602,456 shares at January 8, 1998 using the exchange ratio of one share of the Bank's common stock for 5.1492 shares of the Company's common stock. The 1998 plan provides for the grant of stock options and stock awards for up to 461,125 shares. Stock options generally vest ratably over three years and expire five years after they become exercisable which amounts to an average term of seven years. The following table summarizes stock option activity for the years ended June 30, 1997, 1998, the six months ended December 31, 1998, and year ended December 31, 1999. Option activity for the periods prior to the stock offering January 8, 1998 has been restated using the exchange ratio of one share of the Bank's common stock for 5.1492 shares of the Company's common stock.

Under the 1997 plan, a restricted stock award of 3,000 shares with a fair value of $43 was awarded to a key officer and required five years of continuous employment from the date of award. These shares were issued during June 1998. However, the officer left the Company's employment in December 1998, and therefore, the restricted stock award was rescinded. F-23 HERITAGE FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued) (Dollars in thousands) Financial data pertaining to outstanding stock options at December 31, 1999 were as follows:

The Company has adopted the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-based Compensation, but applies APB Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations in accounting for its plans. Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for its stock option plans. If the Company had elected to recognize compensation cost on the fair value at the grant dates for awards under its plans, consistent with the method prescribed by SFAS No. 123, net income and earnings per share would have been changed to the pro forma amounts indicated below:
Six Months Year Ended Ended Year Ended June 30 December 31, December 31, ------------- ------------ ------------ 1997 1998 1998 1999 ------ ------ ------------ ------------ Net income: As reported....................... $2,598 $4,259 $2,166 $5,357 Pro forma......................... 2,567 4,194 2,123 5,176 Earnings per common share: Basic: As reported....................... 0.25 0.41 0.20 0.50 Pro forma......................... 0.25 0.40 0.20 0.48 Diluted: As reported....................... 0.24 0.40 0.20 0.49 Pro forma......................... 0.23 0.39 0.19 0.47
The compensation expense included in the pro forma net income is not likely to be representative of the effect on reported net income for future years because options vest over several years and additional awards generally are made each year. The fair value of options granted is estimated on the date of grant using the minimum value method for grants in 1996 and 1997. The fair value of options granted during the year ended June 30, 1998, six months ended December 31, 1998, and year ended December 31, 1999 is estimated on the date of grant using the Black- F-24 HERITAGE FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued) (Dollars in thousands) Scholes options pricing model. The following assumptions were used to calculate the fair value of the options granted:
Expected Weighted Risk Free Expected Life Expected Dividend Average Grant period ended Interest Rate (in years) Volatility Yield Fair Value ------------------ ------------- ------------- ---------- -------- ---------- June 30, 1996........... 6.50% 7 NA 3% $3.09 June 30, 1997........... 6.50 7 NA 3 3.19 June 30, 1998........... 6.00 7 25% 1.3 5.35 December 31, 1998....... 6.00 7 25 2.1 4.82 December 31, 1999....... 6.50 7 37 3.6 2.76
(15) Employee Benefit Plans Effective October 1, 1999 the Company combined the three retirement plans, a money purchase pension plan, a 401k plan, and an employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) at Heritage Bank, and the 401k plan at Central Valley Bank into one plan (KSOP). The pension portion of the KSOP is a defined contribution retirement plan. The plan allows participation to all employees upon completion of one year of service and the attainment of 21 years of age. It is the Company's policy to fund plan costs as accrued. Employee vesting occurs over a period of seven years, at which time they become fully vested. Charges of approximately $246, $240, $202, and $252 are included in the consolidated statements of income for the years ended June 30, 1997, 1998, the six months ended December 31, 1998, and the year ended December 31, 1999, respectively. Prior to October 1, 1999, Central Valley Bank did not participate. The KSOP also maintains the Company's salary savings 401(k) plan for its employees. All persons employed as of July 1, 1984 automatically participate in the plan. All employees hired after that date who are at least 21 years of age and with one year of service to the Company may participate in the plan. Employees who participate may contribute a portion of their salary which is matched by the employer at 50% up to certain specified limits. Employee vesting in employer portions is similar to the retirement plan described above. Employer contributions for the years ended June 30, 1997, 1998, the six months ended December 31, 1998, and the year ended December 31, 1999 were $109, $130, $98, and $148, respectively. The third portion of the KSOP is the employee stock ownership plan (ESOP). Heritage Bank established for eligible employees the ESOP and related trust effective July 1, 1994 which became active upon the former mutual holding company's conversion to a stock-based holding company in January 1995. Eligible participants include eligible employees of the Company who are at least 21 years of age and with one year of service. The ESOP is funded by employer contributions in cash or common stock. Employee vesting occurs over a period of seven years. Central Valley Bank employees became eligible to participate in this plan effective October 1, 1999. Heritage Bank contributed $75 to the ESOP for the year ended June 30, 1997. Prior to the January 8, 1998 stock offering, the ESOP owned the common stock of Heritage Bank with no related debt. In January 1998, the ESOP borrowed $1,323 from the Company to purchase additional common stock of the Company. The loan will be repaid principally from the subsidiary bank's contributions to the ESOP over a period of fifteen years. The interest rate on the loan is 8.5% per annum. ESOP compensation expense was $88, $95, $65, and $126 for the years ended June 30, 1997, 1998, the six months ended December 31, 1998, and the year ended December 31, 1999, respectively. F-25 HERITAGE FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued) (Dollars in thousands) For the year ended December 31, 1999, the Company has allocated or committed to be released to the ESOP 8,817 earned shares and has 115,352 unearned, restricted shares remaining to be released. The fair value of unearned, restricted shares held by the ESOP trust was $995 at December 31, 1999. (16) Fair Value of Financial Instruments Because broadly traded markets do not exist for most of the Company's financial instruments, the fair value calculations attempt to incorporate the effect of current market conditions at a specific time. Fair valuations are management's estimates of values. These determinations are subjective in nature, involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and do not include tax ramifications; therefore, the results cannot be determined with precision, substantiated by comparison to independent markets and may not be realized in an actual sale or immediate settlement of the instruments. There may be inherent weaknesses in any calculation technique, and changes in the underlying assumptions used, including discount rates and estimates of future cash flows, could significantly affect the results. For all of these reasons, the aggregation of the fair value calculations presented herein do not represent, and should not be construed to represent, the underlying value of the Company. (a) Financial Instruments With Book Value Equal to Fair Value The fair value of financial instruments that are short-term or reprice frequently and that have little or no risk are considered to have a fair value equal to book value. (b) Investment Securities The fair value of all investment securities excluding Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) stock was based upon quoted market prices. FHLB stock is not publicly traded, however it may be redeemed on a dollar-for-dollar basis, for any amount the Bank is not required to hold. The fair value is therefore equal to the book value. (c) Loans For most loans, fair value is estimated using market prices for mortgage backed securities or other securities which mirror the attributes of the loans with similar rates and average maturities adjusted for servicing costs. Commercial loans and construction loans which are variable rate and short-term are reflected with fair values equal to book value. (d) Deposits For deposits with no contractual maturity, the fair value is equal to the book value. The fair value of fixed maturity deposits is based on discounted cash flows using the difference between the deposit rate and an alternative cost of funds rate. (e) FHLB Advances The fair value of FHLB advances are estimated based on discounting the future cash flows using the rate currently offered on similar borrowings with similar maturities. (f) Other Borrowings Other borrowings consist of a note payable at no stated interest rate. The fair value is based on discounting the estimated future cash flows using the rate currently offered on similar borrowings with similar remaining maturities. (g) Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments The fair value of off-balance sheet commitments to extend credit is considered equal to its notional amount. F-26 HERITAGE FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(Continued) (Dollars in thousands) The table below presents the book value amount of the Bank's financial instruments and their corresponding fair values:

(17) Contingencies The Company is involved in numerous business transactions which, in some cases, depend on regulatory determination as to compliance with rules and regulations. Also, the Company has certain litigation and negotiations in progress. All such matters are attributable to activities arising from normal operations. In the opinion of management, after review with legal counsel, the eventual outcome of the aforementioned matters is unlikely to have a materially adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements or its financial position. (18) Heritage Financial Corporation (Parent Company Only) Heritage Financial Corporation (HFC) was established in connection with the January 1998 stock conversion and stock offering.
