In announcing the Bank's second consecutive quarterly profit, Mahlon
Vigesaa, CenterPointe's President and Chief Executive Officer, noted, "The

capital and internal capacity to grow in response to the needs of the
Bank's core market area -- principally Hood River, Wasco and Klickitat
Counties located within the Columbia River Gorge region."
According to Britt Thomas, the Bank's Chief Credit Officer, "Despite a
common assertion that banks are not lending, CenterPointe Bank is in fact a
very active commercial lender to local business and agriculture enterprises
as well as for owner occupied commercial real estate. CenterPointe is
well positioned for responding to our customers' needs and also has access
to certain government loan programs such as the SBA 504 or Farm Service
Agency Guarantee."
Chief Financial Officer, Jim Fortner, indicated, "The Bank's net interest
margin has improved steadily over the past year. This trend has been a key
contributor to our profitability and we expect to maintain our net interest
margin above 5.0% for the foreseeable future. CenterPointe is a stable,
profitable community bank with a clean balance sheet. This means that
CenterPointe is a safe bank for depositors to hold their cash.
CenterPointe offers competitive rates and strives to provide a level of
service that exceeds the expectations of our clients."
