NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
March 31, 2005 and 2004

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared by Northrim BanCorp, Inc. (the “Company”) in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and with instructions to Form 10-Q under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the interim period ended March 31, 2005, are not necessarily indicative of the results anticipated for the year ending December 31, 2005. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.

2. STOCK REPURCHASE

In September 2002, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a plan whereby the Company would periodically repurchase for cash up to approximately 5%, or 306,372, of its shares of common stock in the open market. The Company has purchased 224,800 shares of its stock under this program since its inception through March 31, 2005, at a total cost of $3.1 million. However, the Company has not repurchased any of these shares in 2005 and 2004. In August of 2004, the Board of Directors of the Company amended the stock repurchase plan (“Plan”) and increased the number of shares available under the program by 5% of total shares outstanding, or 304,283 shares. As a result, the total shares available under the Plan at that time increased to 385,855 shares. The Company intends to continue to repurchase its stock from time to time depending upon market conditions, but it can make no assurances that it will repurchase all of the shares authorized for repurchase under the Plan.

3. ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In November 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement No. 151, Inventory Costs, which was an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin (“ARB”) No. 43, Chapter 4, “Inventory Pricing” and clarifies the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material. The Company believes that the adoption of Statement No. 151 will have no impact on its financial statements.

In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement No. 152, Accounting for Real Estate Time-Sharing Transactions, which is an amendment of FASB Statement No. 66, Accounting for Sales of Real Estate and references the financial accounting and reporting guidance for real estate time-sharing transactions that is provided in American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“AICPA”) Statement of Position (SOP) 04-2, Accounting for Real Estate Time-Sharing Transactions. This Statement also amends FASB Statement No. 67, Accounting for Costs and Initial Rental Operations of Real Estate Projects, to state that the guidance for (a) incidental operations and (b) costs incurred to sell real estate projects does not apply to real estate time-sharing transactions. The Company believes that the adoption of Statement No. 152 will have no impact on its financial statements.

In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement No. 153, Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets, which is an amendment of Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 29 and eliminates the exception to fair value for exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchange transactions that do not have commercial substance and are not expected to result in significant changes in the cash flows of the reporting entity. The Company believes that the adoption of Statement No. 153 will have no impact on its financial statements.

Table of Contents

In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement No. 123R, Share-Based Payment, which is a revision of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. This Statement establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services primarily in share-based payment transactions with its employees. This Statement supersedes the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and its related implementation guidance. In accordance with the provisions of this Statement, as amended by the April 2005 Security and Exchange Commission’s ruling on the implementation date, the Company will begin to expense the costs associated with its stock options in the first quarter of 2006.

At March 31, 2005, December 31, 2004, and March 31, 2004, the Company had loans measured for impairment of $6.2 million, $6.7 million, and $11.7 million, respectively. A specific allowance of $271,000, $357,000, and $454,000, respectively, was established for these periods. The decrease in loans measured for impairment at March 31, 2005, as compared to March 31, 2004, and December 31, 2004, resulted in large part from the concentrated collection activities of the Company.

6. OTHER OPERATING INCOME

Residential Mortgage, LLC (“RML”) was formed in 1998 and has offices throughout Alaska. During the third quarter of 2004, RML reorganized and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of a newly formed holding company, Residential Mortgage Holding Company, LLC (“RML Holding Company”). In this process, RML Holding Company acquired another mortgage company, Pacific Alaska Mortgage Company. Prior to the reorganization, the Company, through Northrim Bank’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Northrim Capital Investments Co. (“NCIC”), owned a 30% interest in the profits and losses of RML. Following the reorganization, the Company’s interest in RML Holding Company decreased to 23.5%. The Company’s share of the earnings from RML Holding Company and its predecessor, RML, decreased by $65,000 to a loss of $21,000 during the first quarter of 2005 as compared to earnings of $44,000 in the first quarter of 2004, due to decreased refinancing activity, coupled with strong competition for mortgages and key personnel.

The Company owns a 47% equity interest in Elliott Cove Capital Management LLC (“Elliott Cove”), an investment advisory services company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Northrim Investment Services Company (“NISC”). Elliott Cove began active operations in the fourth quarter of 2002 and has had start-up losses since that time as it continues to build its assets under management. In July of 2003, the Company made a commitment to loan $625,000 to Elliott Cove. In the second quarter of 2004, the Company converted the loan into an additional equity interest in Elliott Cove. At the time of the conversion, the amount outstanding on this loan was $625,000. During the first, second, and third quarters of 2004, other investors made additional investments in Elliott Cove. In addition, the Company made a separate commitment to loan Elliott Cove $500,000 during the first quarter of 2004. In the first

quarter of 2005, the Company increased this loan commitment to $750,000. The balance outstanding on this commitment at March 31, 2005 was $400,000. Finally, in the third quarter of 2004, the Company made an additional $250,000 investment in Elliott Cove. As a result of the additional investments in Elliott Cove by other investors and the Company’s conversion of its $625,000 loan and its additional investment, its interest in Elliott Cove increased from 43% to 47% between December 31, 2003 and March 31, 2005.

The Company’s share of the loss from Elliott Cove for the first quarter of 2005 decreased to $108,000, as compared to a loss of $189,000 in the first quarter of 2004. The loss from Elliott Cove decreased between the first quarter of 2004 and the first quarter of 2005 as Elliott Cove increased its assets under management, which increased its operating income and helped offset operating costs.
