Capital Adequacy and Liquidity

``Northrim has always maintained a high level of capital, and we continue to build our capital levels,'' said Marc Langland, Chairman, President, and CEO. ``There is no substitute for capital and we believe that a strong balance sheet is the best defense in turbulent times.'' Northrim had total equity to assets of 10.3% and total capital to risk adjusted assets of 14.06% at September 30, 2008. On October 31, 2008 Northrim will pay a $0.17 per share dividend to shareholders of record on October 20, 2008. Northrim has consistently paid quarterly cash dividends since 1995.

``We believe that we are well positioned to meet the liquidity needs of the company and our customers,'' said Joe Schierhorn, Chief Financial Officer. ``With high liquidity and very short duration investments, we believe that we have adequate resources to meet the needs of our depositors.''

Alaska Economic Update

Fueled by the growth in the oil and gas sector and ongoing activities in mining, transportation and tourism, Alaska's economy is healthy. In fiscal 2008, according to information provided by the State of Alaska's Legislative Finance Division, the State of Alaska posted a $4.3 billion surplus, with oil and gas revenues contributing more than 88% of the state's unrestricted revenues. The State of Alaska and its agencies provide added strength to the Alaskan economy in the form of total budget reserves of $12 billion, a Permanent Fund of $30+ billion, and the Alaska Housing Finance Corporation (AHFC) with total assets of $5.04 billion and net assets of $1.71 billion. According to its 2008 Report to Alaskans, since 1986, AFHC has contributed more than $1.5 billion of its earnings to state revenues and in 2008 helped 2,355 Alaska families purchase homes with $493.5 million in loans including $246 million that went to 1,351 first-time homebuyers.

Earnings from investments of the state's Permanent Fund provide dividends to residents of Alaska. This dividend payment from Alaska's Permanent Fund and an energy rebate totaled $3,200 per person and $2 billion in the aggregate and was distributed in September of this year, which provided an additional source of liquidity for the state's economy.

``Despite the strong drivers in the Alaska economy, the sales cycle in the housing market has slowed due to a tighter mortgage market and lower consumer confidence levels,'' said Joe Beedle, Executive Vice President and Chief Lending Officer. ``According to information provided by the Municipality of Anchorage, residential building permits have declined from 1300 in 2006 to an estimated total of 500 in 2008, which has reduced the supply of new homes in the market and helped to stabilize home prices.'' According to statistics published by the Alaska Multiple Listing Service (MLS), through September of 2008, the average sales price of a home in Anchorage was $329,000, up 0.72% from a year ago. The MLS statistics also indicated that there was 5.1 months of inventory based on the thirteen month sales for the period ending September of 2008, as compared to 5.7 months of inventory for the thirteen month period ending September 30, 2007 . According to statistics provided by the Mortgage Banker's Association, foreclosures in the Alaska market are also the third lowest in the nation at 0.86% through the second quarter of 2008. These statistics also show that Alaska home loans that are more than 30 days delinquent are at 3.8% of loans, compared to 6.2% nationwide in the second quarter of 2008.

Asset Quality and Balance Sheet Review

In the fourth quarter of 2007, Northrim completed the purchase of Alaska First Bank & Trust, N.A., which added $58 million to its assets and $48 million to its deposits. Northrim's assets grew 5% to $1.01 billion at September 30, 2008, compared to $959 million a year ago. The loan portfolio totaled $705 million at September 30, 2008, compared to $695 million a year ago, with 85% located in the greater Anchorage area and 15% in the Fairbanks market.

The loan portfolio is well diversified with commercial real estate now accounting for 37% of the portfolio and 59% of those loans are owner occupied. Construction and land development loans, which account for only 16% of the loan portfolio, are down 19% in the past year to $113.8 million.

``While our economy has been one of the strongest in the nation, our asset quality has declined over the past year, due primarily to a few large customers, mainly in the greater Anchorage market who have not been able to withstand the slower sales cycle in the real estate market,'' Beedle noted. ``We continue to aggressively manage our nonperforming assets and have become more conservative in our underwriting and valuation processes. Last year we created a Quality Assurance department to improve the underwriting of new loans. Our senior management team also has extensive experience working through several credit cycles, including the downturn in the late 1980's.''

Nonperforming assets consist of non accrual loans, accruing loans 90 days or more past due, restructured loans, and Other Real Estate Owned (OREO). Total nonperforming assets were $33 million, or 3.27% of total assets at September 30, 2008, compared to $29.2 million, or 2.80% of total assets at June 30, 2008, and $9.3 million, or 0.97% of total assets a year ago. Non accrual loans increased to $15.7 million at September 30, 2008 from $11.9 million last quarter and $5.7 million a year ago due mainly to an increase in non accrual residential construction loans. Loans 90 days past due declined to $5.0 million at September 30, 2008 from $6.2 million in the prior quarter, but were up from $2.9 million a year ago.

The allowance for loan losses increased to $13.7 million, or 1.94% of gross loans at the end of the third quarter of 2008, compared to $12.1 million, or 1.74% of gross loans, at September 30, 2007. Net charge-offs in the third quarter of 2008 were $1.9 million, or 1.05% of average loans on an annualized basis, compared to $1.1 million, or 0.60% of average loans in the second quarter of 2008 and $492,000, or 0.28% of average loans for the quarter ended September 30, 2007. Year-to-date, net charge-offs were $3.8 million, or 0.71% of average loans compared to $2.6 million, or 0.49% of average loans in the first nine months of 2007.

Northrim's OREO increased $1.2 million to $12.3 million at September 30, 2008, from $11.1 million at June 30, 2008, and $717,000 a year ago. The OREO portfolio consists of a $2.2 million, 3-story 20-unit condominium project which is scheduled to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2008, a $1.7 million lot development project adjacent to a $3.7 million, 22-unit townhome-style condominium project that is scheduled to go on the market next month, a $3.1 million single-family housing development project for 7 homes and 33 lots, and four other small residential construction projects totaling approximately $1 million. In the first nine months of this year, Northrim took a $1.1 million write-down on its OREO projects, primarily due to higher than anticipated excavation and foundation costs required for two of its major OREO projects. The increases in OREO balances in the third quarter of 2008 are due to additional funds used to complete these projects during the quarter as well as three properties that were added to OREO during the quarter. ``Based upon our assessment of a stable market, moderate inventory levels, and the declining amount of new construction activity, we expect to liquidate our existing OREO properties over the next two years,'' said Beedle.

Investment securities increased 28% to $116.3 million at September 30, 2008, from $90.5 million a year ago. ``The majority of our investments are high quality, short-term securities with US government agencies, local municipalities, and local electric utility bonds. At September 30, 2008, the portfolio includes $374,000 in mortgage backed securities.. Most of these securities have underlying ratings of A1 or better and were rated AAA due to additional insurance coverage. The average maturity of these securities is less than two years. There are no investments in common or preferred stock (including Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac),'' said Chris Knudson, Chief Operating Officer.

Total deposits were up 5% to $854 million at September 30, 2008, compared to $818 million a year earlier. Non-interest bearing demand deposits increased 17% and interest bearing demand deposits grew 21% year-over-year reflecting the continuing success of our High Performance Checking program. Time deposit balances increased 75% and savings account balances increased 16% while Alaska CD (a flexible certificate of deposit program) and money market balances fell 39% and 13% respectively. The increase in time deposits reflects the movement of customers from lower yielding accounts to higher yielding certificates of deposit. In addition, Northrim had $45 million in certificates of deposit on account for the Alaska Permanent Fund at September 30, 2008, and there were no balances in these accounts at September 30, 2007. ``About 80% of our deposits are in transaction accounts contributing to our strong liquidity and providing an affordable source of funding,'' said Chris Knudson. At the end of the third quarter, money market balances accounted for 19% of total deposits, demand deposits accounted for 29%, the Alaska CD accounted for 13%, interest bearing demand accounts were 12%, savings deposits were 7%, and time certificates were 20% of total deposits.

Shareholders' equity increased 3% to $103.6 million, or $16.40 per share, at September 30, 2008, compared to $100.3 million, or $15.87 per share, at September 30, 2007. Tangible book value per share at quarter-end was $14.91 compared to $14.82 a year earlier. Northrim remains well capitalized with Tier 1 Capital to Risk Adjusted Assets of 12.81%.

Review of Operations

Revenue (net interest income plus other operating income) fell 7% to $14.1 million in the third quarter of 2008, compared to $15.2 million in the third quarter of 2007. Net interest income before the provision for loan losses declined 11% to $11.1 million in the third quarter of 2008 from $12.4 million in the same quarter a year ago. Year-to-date revenue was $43.0 million at September 30, 2008, down slightly from $44.0 million in the first nine months of 2007. Net interest income before the provision for loan losses dropped 6% to $34.8 million in the first nine months of 2008 from $36.9 million in the first nine months of last year.

Net interest margin (net interest income as a percentage of average earning assets on a tax equivalent basis) was 5.10% in the third quarter of 2008 compared to 5.81% in the third quarter a year ago. Net interest margin year-to-date was 5.31% compared to 5.93% in the first nine months of 2007. ``Our net interest margin continued to decline as the yield on our earning assets declined more than the cost of our funds. The increase in our nonperforming assets throughout the year also caused the margin to decline,'' said Schierhorn.

``We continue to increase our provision for loan losses to account for higher levels of nonperforming loans compared to a year ago,'' Knudson said. The loan loss provision in the third quarter of 2008 totaled $2.0 million, compared to $725,000 in the third quarter of 2007. Third quarter 2008 net interest income, after the provision for loan losses, fell 22% to $9.1 million from $11.7 million a year ago. Year-to-date, the loan loss provision was $5.7 million, up from $2.5 million in the first nine months of 2007. Net interest income, after the provision for loan losses, was down 16% at $29.1 million in the first nine months of 2008 compared to $34.4 million in the like period a year ago.

Other operating income continued to grow, due in part to larger contributions from affiliates. Total other operating income increased 7% in the third quarter of 2008 to $3.0 million, from $2.8 million in the third quarter of 2007, and rose 16% year-to-date to $8.2 million, as compared to $7.1 million in the first nine months of 2007. Deposit account service charge income was relatively flat at $841,000 in the third quarter of 2008 and up 14% to $2.6 million in the first nine months of 2008, as compared to $873,000 and $2.3 million, respectively, for the same periods a year ago, reflecting new deposit services that were added in the second quarter of 2007.

Purchased receivable income dropped 13% to $648,000 in the third quarter of 2008 from $744,000 in the third quarter of 2007 and 7% to $1.7 million year-to-date as compared to $1.8 million in the first nine months of 2007, as one of the purchased receivable offerings was eliminated. Employee benefit plan income grew to $398,000 for the third quarter of 2008 and $1.1 million for the nine month period ending September 30, 2008, as compared to $319,000 and $890,000, respectively for the same periods a year ago due to the addition of more customers to this product line. Earnings from Northrim's mortgage affiliate increased to $210,000 for the third quarter of 2008 and $516,000 for the first nine months of 2008, as compared to $202,000 and $390,000, respectively, for the same periods in 2007 due to an increase in mortgage originations, particularly refinance activity, and a reduction in operating costs.

Operating expenses rose 13% in both the third quarter and first nine months of 2008 as compared to the same periods a year ago, with the OREO impairment and collection costs, FDIC insurance premiums, and professional and outside services costs accounting for the majority of the increase. Noninterest expense in the third quarter of 2008 was $9.7 million compared to $8.6 million in the third quarter a year ago. Noninterest expense in the first nine months of 2008 was $29.5 million compared to $26.1 million a year ago.

The efficiency ratio during the third quarter of 2008 was 68.11% compared to 56.14% in the third quarter a year ago. In the first nine months of the year, the efficiency ratio was 68.09% compared to 58.76% in the first nine months of 2007. The efficiency ratio, calculated by dividing noninterest expense, excluding intangible asset amortization expense, by net interest income and noninterest income, measures overhead costs as a percentage of total revenues.
