          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 Condensed Financial
Statements and the accompanying Notes thereto and the December 31, 1998 audited
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's
recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission under file number 333-35573

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 which 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 the Company's financial results are included in filings by
the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Overview

Beginning in 1994, the Company began to implement a growth strategy which is
intended to broaden its products and services from traditional thrift products
and services to those more closely related to commercial banking.  That strategy
entails (1) geographic and product expansion, (2) loan portfolio
diversification, (3) development of relationship banking, and (4) maintenance of
asset quality.  Effective January 8, 1998, the Company closed its second step
conversion and stock offering which resulted in $63 million in net proceeds.
Thereafter, the Company's common stock began to trade on the Nasdaq National
Market under the symbol "HFWA".  The Company intends to continue to fund its
assets primarily with retail deposits, although FHLB advances may be used as a
supplemental source of funds, and it believes that the capital raised in the
recent stock offering will enhance its ability to continue implementing its
growth strategy.

Financial Condition Data

The Company's total assets and deposits at June 30, 1999 declined to  $458.3
million and $351.4 million, respectively, from December 31, 1998 levels of
$475.9 million and $367.1 million, respectively.  During the six months ended
June 30, 1999, total assets and deposits each declined 4%, primarily due to
management  intentionally reducing the Company's level of dependence on higher
cost certificates of deposit in late 1998 and early 1999.  While this deposit
pricing strategy suppressed deposit growth during the first half of 1999, it had
an overall favorable impact of lowering the Company's cost of deposits.  During
the six months ended June 30, 1999, net loans increased $34.3 million, or 11%,
to $357.3 million from December 31, 1998.  Commercial loans increased to $157.7
million at June 30, 1999, compared with $128.2 million at December 31, 1998, an
increase of 23%.  At June 30, 1999 commercial loans as a percentage of total
loans increased to 44% compared with 36% and 39% at June 30, 1998 and December
31, 1998, respectively.

Earnings Summary

Net income for the three months ended June 30, 1999 was $1.1 million, or $0.10
per diluted share, compared to $1.4 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, for the
same period last year, a decrease of 18%.  Cash earnings, which exclude the
amortization of goodwill recorded on the acquisition of North Pacific Bank, for
the quarter ended June 30, 1999 were $1.28 million, or $0.12 per diluted share
compared with $0.12 per diluted share for the same quarter last year.  The
decrease in net income was attributable to noninterest expenses increasing at a
faster pace than net interest income primarily as a result of the impact of the
acquisition and integration of North Pacific Bank and increased staffing and
item processing hardware, software and facilities to further support the
Company's commercial banking efforts.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income for the three months ended June 30, 1999 increased 20% to
$5.7 million from $4.8 million for the same quarter in 1998.  This increase in
net interest income was predominately due to a $42.5 million, or 12%, increase
in the average balance of earning assets for the current quarter versus the same
quarter last year.   The acquisition of North Pacific Bank in June 1998 was
responsible for $48.6 million of the total increase in the average balance of
earning assets in the June 1999 quarter which was offset by the decline in
deposits from management  intentionally reducing the Company's level of
dependence on higher cost certificates of deposit in late 1998 and early 1999.

Net interest margin (net interest income divided by average interest earning
assets) widened to 5.60% for the current quarter  from 5.22% for the same
quarter last year.  The increase in net interest margin reflects (i) the higher
margin on earning assets acquired with North Pacific Bank, (ii) a shift from
lower yielding investments and interest bearing deposits to higher yielding
loans and, (iii) lower cost of deposits.  Despite the improved net interest
margin, the Company continues to experience downward pressure on lending spreads
due to increased competition and the shape of the yield curve.   The impact of
downward pressure on lending yields was somewhat mitigated during the current
quarter due to the average balance of loans growing faster (27%) than average
earning assets (12%) and thereby shifting lower yielding funds in interest
earning deposits into higher yielding loans.  The average yield on earning
assets declined to 8.55% for the current quarter from 8.60% for the June 1998
quarter while the Company's cost of funds improved to 3.89% for the current
quarter compared to 4.60% for the June 1998 quarter.  The improvement in the
Company's cost of deposits was attributable to management's intentional pricing
posture on certificates of deposit and savings accounts coupled with falling
market interest rates in the second half of 1998 and early 1999.  While this
deposit pricing strategy suppressed deposit growth during the first half of
1999, it had an overall favorable impact on lowering the cost of deposits and
continuing the structural shift in deposit mix from higher cost certificates of
deposit toward lower costing transaction accounts.  The structural shift in
deposit mix is part of the Company's strategy to transform its balance sheet
toward an emphasis on commercial banking relationships and in particular, to
reduce its dependency on certificates of deposit.

Provision for Loan Losses

The Company increased the provision for loan losses to $102,000 for the current
quarter from $39,000 for the June 1998 quarter in order to maintain its
allowance for loan losses at an adequate level during  a time of change in loan
portfolio composition and loan growth.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income decreased 7% to $1.0 million for the three months ended June
30, 1999, compared with $1.1 million for the same quarter in 1998.  This
decrease was primarily attributable to a 34% decrease in the volume of mortgage
loans sold due to lower mortgage loan originations during second quarter 1999
compared with the second quarter 1998.  The Company's decline in mortgage
banking activity was comparable to the regionwide decline in activity for
mortgage lenders during the second quarter of 1999.  The volume of mortgage
originations during the first half of 1998 was significantly influenced by a
refinance boom.  Mortgage originations for the first half  of 1999 were more in
line with the same period in 1997 as neither of these periods were influenced as
significantly by refinance activity as was the 1998 period.  This decrease in
loan sale gains was partially offset by a 25% increase in service charges on
deposits in second quarter 1999 due to growth in business and personal checking
accounts.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense increased 31% to $4.8 million for the second quarter 1999,
compared to $3.7 million for second quarter 1998.  Of this total increase, $0.8
million was due to the impact of the acquisition and integration of the
operations of North Pacific Bank, primarily in the areas of compensation,
occupancy, amortization of goodwill  and other noninterest expenses.  Excluding
the impact of the acquisition and integration of the operations of North Pacific
Bank, noninterest expenses increased $0.3 million, or 9%, for the June 1999
quarter compared to the same quarter in 1998.  This increase was attributable to
management increasing its investment in lending and operations staff and item
processing hardware, software and facilities to further support  the Company's
commercial banking efforts.  The efficiency ratio for the quarter ended June 30,
1999 increased to 72.04% from 63.14% for the comparable quarter in 1998.
Contributing to this increase, revenues were below expected levels due to a 50%
drop in gains on sale of mortgage loans (compared with the 1998 quarter) and a
decrease in the yield on earning assets which resulted from falling market
interest rates initiated by Federal Reserve rate cuts in fourth quarter 1998 as
well as the increase in noninterest expenses.  The efficiency ratio for the
quarter ended March 31, 1999 was 71.83%.

Lending Activities

Since initiating its expansion activities in 1994, the Company has continued to
pursue a growth strategy to broaden its products and services from traditional
thrift offerings to those more closely related to commercial banking.  As
indicated in the table below, total loans increased to $361.5 million at June
30, 1999 from $326.9 million at December 31, 1998.  At June 30, 1999, commercial
loans increased to $157.7 million, or 43.62% of total loans, from $128.2
million, or 39.20% of total loans, at  December 31, 1998.

1999 from $402,000, or 0.12% of total loans, at December 31, 1998.
Nonperforming assets at June 30, 1999 amounted to $727,000, or 0.16% of total
assets.   At June 30, 1999, the Company's nonperforming assets consisted of
three single family mortgage loans, three loans to small businesses and a
foreclosed single family residence.  For the median of 35 West Coast publicly
traded banks as monitored by Pacific Crest Securities, nonperforming assets were
0.56% of total assets at March 31, 1999 (the most recent data available).

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.

While management believes that it uses the best information available to
determine the allowance for loan losses, unforeseen market conditions could
result in adjustments to the allowance for loan losses, and net income could be
significantly affected, if circumstances differ substantially from the
assumptions used in determining the allowance.

__________
(1)  Includes loans held for sale

While pursuing its growth strategy, the Company will continue to employ prudent
underwriting and sound loan monitoring procedures in order to maintain asset
quality.   The allowance for loan losses at June 30, 1999 increased $242,000 to
$4.2 million, or 1.16% of total loans.   The Company has loans to small
businesses and farmers which are substantially guaranteed by agencies of the US
Government (i.e. Farm Service Agency and Small Business Administration).  At
June 30, 1999, the government guaranteed portion of these loans amounted to
$20.1 million.  Excluding the $20.1 million in government guaranteed loans, the
Company's allowance for loan losses was 1.23% of nonguaranteed loans.  This
ratio of allowance for loan losses to total loans has decreased to 1.16% at June
30, 1999 from 1.24% at December 31, 1998 due to loans increasing at a faster
pace than the $204,000 provision and $38,000 in net recoveries during the first
half of 1999.

Liquidity and Source of Funds

The Company's primary sources of funds are customer 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.

The Company 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.  The
Company generally maintains sufficient cash and short term investments to meet
short term liquidity needs.  At June 30, 1999, cash and cash equivalents totaled
$21.6 million, or 4.7% of total assets, and investment securities classified as
either available for sale or held to maturity with maturities of one year or
less amounted to $5.6 million, or 1.2% of total assets.  At June 30, 1999, the
Company maintained a credit facility with the FHLB of Seattle for up to 20% of
Heritage Bank's assets or $78.4 million (of which only $328,000 was outstanding
at that date).

To fund the growth of the Company, management's strategy has been to build core
deposits (which includes all deposits except public funds) through the
development of its branch office network and commercial banking relationships.
Historically, the Company has been able to retain a significant amount of its
deposits as they mature.  Management anticipates that the Company will continue
to rely primarily on the same sources of funds in the future and will use those
funds primarily to make loans and purchase investment securities.

Capital

Stockholders' equity at June 30, 1999 was $100.5 million compared with $100.6
million at December 31, 1998.  In addition to the Company's earnings, proceeds
from the exercise of stock options totaling $94,000 increased stockholders'
equity during the period.   During the six months ended June 30, 1999, the
Company declared  cash dividends in the amount of $1.2 million, or 11.5 cents
per share.  The Company also paid $856,000 to repurchase 100,000 shares of its
common stock in the open market during the quarter ended June 30, 1999.

Banking 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%.  At June 30, 1999,  the Company's leverage ratio was
20.4%, compared with 21.5% at December 31, 1998.  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 shareholders' equity, while Tier II capital includes the
allowance for loan losses, subject to certain limitations.  Regulatory minimum
risk-based capital guidelines require Tier I capital of 4% of risk-adjusted
assets and total capital (combined Tier I and Tier II) of 8%.  The Company's
Tier I and total capital ratios were 26.4% and  27.6%, respectively, at June 30,
1999 compared with 27.9% and 29.1%, respectively, at December 31, 1998.

During 1992, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC") published
the qualifications necessary to be classified as a "well-capitalized" bank,
primarily for assignment of FDIC 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%.  Heritage Bank and Central Valley Bank
qualified as "well-capitalized" at June 30, 1999.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company's results of operations are largely dependent upon its ability to
manage interest rate risk.  Management considers interest rate risk to be a
significant market risk that could have a material effect on the Company's
financial condition and results of operations.   Neither the Company nor its
subsidiary banks maintain a trading account for any class of financial
instrument, nor do they engage in hedging activities or purchase high risk
derivative instruments.  Moreover, neither the Company nor its subsidiary banks
are subject to foreign currency exchange rate risk or commodity price risk.

In the opinion of management, there has been no material change in the Company's
interest rate risk exposure since the Company's most recent year end at December
31, 1998.

Year 2000 Issues

     The Company utilizes various computer software programs to provide banking
products and services to its customers.  Many existing computer programs use
only two digits to identify a year in the date field and were not designed to
consider the impact of the upcoming change in the century.  If not corrected,
many computer applications could fail or create erroneous results by or at the
Year 2000.  The Year 2000 issue affects virtually all companies and
organizations.

     The following discussion of Year 2000 issues for the Company contains
numerous forward-looking statements based on inherently uncertain information
and management's best estimates.  There can be no assurance that these estimates
will be achieved and actual results could differ.  The Company places a high
degree of reliance on computer systems of third parties, such as customers and
suppliers.  Although the Company is assessing the readiness of these third
parties and preparing contingency plans, there can be no guarantee that the
failure of these third parties to modify their systems in advance of December
31, 1999 would not have a material adverse affect on the Company.

Readiness Preparation

     The Company has completed the identification phase in which management has
determined the extent to which all programs used in its business are Year 2000
compliant. Heritage Bank (HB) and Central Valley Bank (CVB) utilize service
bureaus to perform each bank's most mission critical data processing services
related to its loans, deposits, general ledger and other financial applications.
The service bureaus have completed the software programming for 100% of their
applications.   The Company has completed the testing of all of its critical
applications and these applications are currently in use in the Company's
operations.

     The Company has evaluated its major third party business relationships,
including vendors and its borrowers.  The Company is also reliant on its
customers to make the necessary preparations for Year 2000 so that their
business operations will not be interrupted, thus threatening their ability to
honor their financial commitments.  The Company has analyzed the extent that
Year 2000 issues could adversely impact their borrowers' business operations,
particularly its commercial borrowers.  The Company has performed an initial
assessment of each major borrower and has established an ongoing assessment as
part of the Company's credit granting and loan review process.

Cost

     Management expects Heritage Bank's costs related to Year 2000 issues to
amount to approximately $230,000.  Of this total, approximately $177,000 was
incurred in prior periods.  Management expects the remainder of these costs
($53,000) to be incurred in the second half of 1999.  Central Valley Bank will
be upgrading computer equipment and related software for the remaining two of
its five branches in 1999 at an approximate cost of $60,000.  Total costs for
the Company's Year 2000 efforts in 1999 are expected to be approximately
$125,000.

Risk and Contingency Plans

     The Company has prepared a contingency plan with trigger dates to pursue
various alternatives for its critical technology and non-technology systems such
as heat, electric and telecommunication services.  Some of these alternative
solutions involve the use of hot sites and cooperative agreements with other
banks for critical service bureau applications and mobile back-up services for
item processing; the use of generators to provide power in case of a disruption
in utilities service and alternative telecommunication modes as well as manual
back-up systems.  Should the Company's worst case scenario, the loss of electric
power, occur, the Company will be able to continue to capture banking
transactions and process them at a remote hot site or another bank which also
uses the same service bureau and/or rely on diesel powered generators to power
the Company's item processing operations. These contingency plans are a part of
the Company's ongoing disaster recovery plan.
