 (1)  Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

   (a) Description of Business

Washington Banking Company ("WBCO"), a Washington state bank holding company was
formed on April 30, 1996.  Whidbey Island Bank ("WIB" or "Bank"),  the principal
subsidiary  of  WBCO,  is a  Washington  state-chartered  commercial  bank.  The
business  of the  Bank,  which  is  focused  in the  northern  area  of  Western
Washington,  consists  primarily of attracting  deposits from the general public
and  originating  loans.  Although WIB has a diversified  loan portfolio and its
market area currently enjoys a stable economic climate, a substantial portion of
its  borrowers'  ability to repay their  loans is  dependent  upon the  economic
conditions  affecting  this  area  related  to the  agricultural,  forestry  and
manufacturing industries, and the large military presence.

   (b) Basis of Presentation

The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of Washington Banking Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary,  Whidbey
Island Bank (together,  "the Company").  The accompanying  financial  statements
have been prepared,  without audit,  pursuant to generally  accepted  accounting
principles  and  instructions  to Form 10-Q for interim  financial  information.
Accordingly,  they do not include all of the information and footnotes  required
by generally accepted accounting  principles for complete financial  statements.
These condensed  consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the Company's December 1999 audited  consolidated  financial statements and
notes thereto  included in the Company's Form 10-K filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission.  In the opinion of management,  all adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring  adjustments)  considered  necessary for a fair presentation
have been included. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2000 are
not  necessarily  indicative  of the results  that may be expected  for the year
ending  December 31, 2000.

Certain  amounts  in 1999  have  been  reclassified  to  conform  with  the 2000
financial statement presentation.

   (c) Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In June 1998,  FASB issued SFAS  Statement No. 133 ("SFAS 133"),  Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, which requires all derivatives to
be  recorded  on the  balance  sheet at fair  value and  establishes  accounting
standards  for  different  types of  hedging  activities,  including  fair value
hedges, cash flow hedges and hedges of foreign currency exposures.  In May 1999,
the FASB delayed the effective date of SFAS 133 to fiscal years  beginning after
June 15, 2000 with interim  reporting  required.  In June 2000,  the FASB issued
SFAS  Statement  No.  138  ("SFAS  138"),   Accounting  for  Certain  Derivative
Instruments and Certain Hedging  Activities,  an amendment of FASB Statement No.
133, which makes minor  modifications  to SFAS 133.  Management  does not expect
SFAS 133 or 138 to have a material impact on the Company's financial position or
results of operations.

              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
              Six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 (unaudited)
                 (Dollars in thousands, except per share data)

The SEC issued Staff Accounting  Bulletin No. 101B ("SAB 101B"). SAB 101B delays
the effective  date of Staff  Accounting  Bulletin No. 101 ("SAB 101")  "Revenue
Recognition  in Financial  Statements,"  to the fourth  quarter for fiscal years
beginning  between  December  15,  1999 and March  16,  2000.  SAB 101  provides
guidance on revenue  recognition and the SEC staff's views on the application of
accounting  principles to selected revenue  recognition issues. The Company will
adopt the  provisions of SAB 101 in the fourth  quarter of 2000 and  anticipates
that such adoption will not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated
financial statements.

In March 2000, the Financial  Accounting  Standards Board issued  Interpretation
No. 44,  "Accounting for Certain  Transactions  involving  Stock  Compensation."
Interpretation  No. 44 clarifies the application of Accounting  Principles Board
Opinion No. 25 ("APB 25") and is effective July 1, 2000.  Interpretation  No. 44
clarifies  the  definition  of  "employee"  for purposes of applying APB 25, the
criteria for determining whether a plan qualifies as a noncompensatory plan, the
accounting  consequence  of various  modifications  to the terms of a previously
fixed  stock  option or  award,  and the  accounting  for an  exchange  of stock
compensation awards in a business  combination.  The Company does not expect the
adoption of Interpretation  No. 44 to have a material impact on its consolidated
financial statements.


 (2)  Earnings Per Share

For the three-month  periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, there were options to
purchase  123,950 and 41,000 shares of common stock  outstanding,  respectively,
which were antidilutive and therefore not included in the computation of diluted
net income per share. For each of the six-month  periods ended June 30, 2000 and
1999 there were options to purchase 123,950 shares of common stock  outstanding,
which were antidilutive and therefore not included in the computation of diluted
net income per share.

On April 29, 1999,  the Board of  Directors  approved a stock  repurchase  plan,
which allows the Company to  repurchase  up to 210,000  shares of the  Company's

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
         and Results of Operations

Warning about Forward-Looking Statements

The following discussion includes  "forward-looking  statements" as that term is
defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking
statements are based on management's  beliefs and assumptions based on currently
available  information,  and we have not  undertaken to update these  statements
except as required by the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,  and the
rules promulgated thereunder. All statements other than statements of historical
fact regarding our financial position,  business strategy and management's plans
and objectives for future operations are forward-looking  statements.  When used
in this report, the words  "anticipate,"  "believe,"  "estimate,"  "expect," and
"intend" and words or phrases of similar meaning,  as they relate to the Company
or  management,  are  intended  to  help  identify  forward-looking  statements.
Although  we  believe   that   management's   expectations   as   reflected   in
forward-looking  statements are reasonable,  we cannot assure readers that those
expectations will prove to be correct. Forward-looking statements are subject to
various  risks and  uncertainties  that may cause our  actual  results to differ
materially   and   adversely   from  our   expectations   as  indicated  in  the
forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include our ability to
maintain or expand our market  share or net interest  margins,  and to implement
our marketing and growth strategies.  Further, actual results may be affected by
our  ability  to  compete  on price  and  other  factors  with  other  financial
institutions;  customer acceptance of new products and services;  the regulatory
environment in which we operate;  and general trends in the local,  regional and
national  banking  industry  as those  factors  relate  to our cost of funds and
return on assets. In addition,  there are risks inherent in the banking industry
relating to collectibility of loans and changes in interest rates. Many of these
risks,  as well as other  risks that may have a material  adverse  impact on our
operations  and  business,  are  identified  in our other  filings with the SEC.
However,  you should be aware that these factors are not an exhaustive list, and
you  should  not  assume  these are the only  factors  that may cause our actual
results to differ from our expectations.

Overview

The  Bank  began  operations  in  1961,  with its  headquarters  at  Coupeville,
Washington, located on Whidbey Island. Washington Banking Company, headquartered
in Oak Harbor, Washington, was formed as a bank holding company in April of 1996
and currently holds all of the issued and outstanding  common stock of the Bank.
The Company's  only  significant  business  activity has been to hold the common
stock of the Bank and invest its available funds.  The Company  currently has 13
full-service  bank branches,  one loan production office and 18 automated teller
machines ("ATMs") located in Island, Skagit and Whatcom counties in the northern
area of  Western  Washington.  The  loan  production  office  in  Port  Townsend
(Jefferson  County)  was  recently  closed  due to  lower-than-anticipated  loan
demand.  By this fall,  the Company plans to open a  full-service  office in the
Bakerview  neighborhood  of Bellingham  (Whatcom  County),  which is expected to
engage its people and  resources  more  productively  and place the Company in a
more favorable growth position.

Construction  of a new  building in Oak Harbor is expected  to be  completed  by
year-end 2000. The new construction  will combine the downtown Oak Harbor branch
and some of the  administrative  offices,  reducing  dependence on leased office
space.  We believe the new location will enhance  customer  service by providing
easier  branch access and more  convenient  availability  of expanded  financial



                                        8

<PAGE> 11


services.  Once the new building is occupied,  the Company expects to be able to
reduce  or  eliminate  the use of some  properties  presently  owned or  leased.
Management believes the consolidation will assist in streamlining operations and
improving efficiencies.

The  Company's  objective  is to continue  its  strategy of growth,  enhance its
market   penetration  in  the  areas  it  currently  serves,   and  improve  its
profitability  and  operating  efficiencies.  The  Company  looks for  expansion
opportunities that meet its criteria primarily in the geographic areas north and
northwest of Seattle to the Canadian border.  The primary factors  considered in
determining   the  areas  of  geographic   expansion  are  customer  demand  and
availability of experienced managers, lending officers and branch personnel with
a longstanding  community presence and extensive banking  relationships.  Growth
can be expected to require the  expenditure of  substantial  sums to purchase or
lease real property and equipment and to hire experienced personnel.  New branch
offices are often not profitable  for at least the first  eighteen  months after
opening and management expects that earnings will be negatively  affected as the
Company pursues its growth strategy.

Management's strategy is to continue to provide a high level of personal service
to its  customers  and to expand loan,  deposit and other  products and services
that it offers its customers. Maintenance of asset quality will be emphasized by
controlling nonperforming assets and adhering to prudent underwriting standards.
In addition, management will strive to improve operating efficiencies to further
manage  noninterest  expense  and will  continue to improve  internal  operating
systems. To deliver the Company's products more effectively and efficiently, the
Company's market strategy is to locate full-service branch offices which provide
all of  the  Company's  products  and  services  in its  targeted  growth  areas
supported by loan  production  offices,  mini-branches,  grocery or retail store
branches and/or ATMs in the areas  surrounding  those central locations in order
to further serve customers. Acquisition of banks or branches may also be used as
a means of expansion if appropriate opportunities are presented. The Company has
also  invested in  technology to  facilitate  telephone,  personal  computer and
internet banking,  but with its primary commitment being to provide  exceptional
personal service.

Financial Condition

Total assets increased to $322.0 million at June 30, 2000 from $286.0 million at
December 31, 1999,  an increase of 12.6%.  Net loans  increased  18.8% to $261.7
million at June 30, 2000 from  $220.2  million at December  31,  1999.  Deposits
increased  5.6% to $268.7  million  at June 30,  2000  from  $254.5  million  at
December 31, 1999.

The Company's  shareholders'  equity increased to $30.5 million at June 30, 2000
from $29.8 million at December 31, 1999. The increase  reflects  earnings offset
by the  repurchase of 56,000 shares of common stock for  approximately  $454,000
and the payment of cash  dividends  of  $406,000  during the first six months of
2000.

The  Company's  allowance  for loan losses was $2.7 million at June 30, 2000 and
$2.2 million at December 31, 1999. Nonperforming assets amounted to $2.1 million
at June 30, 2000, or 0.64% of total assets, compared to $1.1 million or 0.40% at
December 31, 1999.

Results of Operations

The  Company's  results of  operations  are  dependent  to a large degree on net
interest income. Interest income and cost of funds are affected significantly by
general economic conditions,  particularly changes in market interest rates, and
by government  policies and the actions of regulatory  authorities.  The Company
also generates noninterest income primarily through service charges and fees and
other  sources.   The  Company's   noninterest  expenses  consist  primarily  of
compensation and employee benefit expense, and occupancy expense.

Net income for the second quarter of 2000  increased  37.3% to $832,000 or $0.20
per diluted  share,  from $606,000,  or $0.14 per diluted share,  for the second
quarter of 1999.  Net income for the six months  ended June 30,  2000  increased
30.7% to $1,449,000 or $0.34 per diluted share,  from  $1,109,000,  or $0.25 per
diluted  share,  for the six months  ended June 30,  1999.  The  increase in net
income was primarily due to net interest income.


Net Interest Income

Net  interest  income for the second  quarter  of 2000  increased  31.9% to $3.8
million  from $2.9  million  for the second  quarter of 1999.  For the first six
months of 2000, net interest  income  increased  34.0% to $7.5 million from $5.6
million for the same period in 1999.  The  increase  in net  interest  income is
largely due to the growth of the Company's  loan  portfolio  resulting  from the

Average  interest-earning  assets for the  second  quarter  increased  to $279.9
million at June 30, 2000  compared to $213.7  million at June 30, 1999, a growth
of $66.2 million, or 31.0%, while the average yield on  interest-earning  assets
increased to 9.35%  compared with 8.51% in second quarter of the prior year. The
average  yield on loans  increased to 9.74% for the quarter  ended June 30, 2000
from  9.15%  for  the  quarter  ended  June  30,  1999.  The  average  yield  on
interest-bearing  deposits also increased in the second quarter of 2000 to 4.43%
from  3.65%  for the  quarter  ended  June 30,  1999.  Average  interest-bearing
deposits for the quarter  increased to $220.1  million at June 30, 2000 compared
to $165.1  million at June 30, 1999, a growth of $55.0  million,  or 33.3%.  The
overall result of these changes was a slight decrease in the net interest spread
to 4.80% for the quarter  ended June 30,  2000 from 4.81% for the quarter  ended
June 30, 1999.  Margins  have held firm  because our lending  rates tend to more
closely follow the prevailing rates, while our deposit rates usually adjust more
slowly.

Average  shareholders'  equity  was  $30.3  million  and $29.7  million  for the
quarters ended June 30, 2000 and 1999. Net interest  margin (net interest income
divided by average interest-earning assets) was 5.54% in both the second quarter
of 2000 and 1999.


Noninterest Income and Expense

Noninterest  income  increased  $62,000,  or 9.4%, in the second quarter of 2000
compared to the same period in 1999.  The slight rise  reflects  the decrease in
fees  received  on  third  party  originated  real  estate  loans  due to a less
favorable 2000 mortgage loan market

Noninterest expense increased $499,000,  or 20.0%, in the second quarter of 2000
as the Company  pursued its  strategy of growth  through  branching  and product
expansion.  Two major components of noninterest expense,  employee  compensation
and occupancy, increased 30.2% and 22.7%, respectively, for the quarter compared
with the same period in 1999. These increases  reflect the Company's  geographic
expansion,  the addition of new products and services, and the overall growth of
the Company. The efficiency ratio (noninterest expense divided by the sum of net
interest income plus noninterest  income less  non-recurring  gains) improved to
65.92% for the second  quarter  2000  compared  to 70.11% for the same period in
1999.


Income Taxes

For the second quarter of 2000, the Company  recorded an income tax provision of
$314. The overall effective tax rate increased for the six months ended June 30,
2000 compared to the same period in 1999 due to the decrease of interest  income
on tax-exempt investment securities as a percentage of taxable income.

Nonperforming  loans increased to $1.9 million, or 0.71% of total loans, at June
30, 2000 from $972,000,  or 0.44% of total loans, at December 31, 1999 primarily
due to a small number of borrowing  relationships  that were added to nonaccrual
loans during the second  quarter.  Management  considers  nonperforming  lending
relationships adequately reserved.


Provision and Allowance for Loan Losses

The Company recorded a $400,000 provision for loan losses for the second quarter
of 2000,  compared  with  $255,000  for the same  period a year ago.  There were
$105,000 in net loan charge-offs during the second quarter of 2000,  compared to
$61,000 in net charge-offs for the same period in 1999.

The  allowance  for loan losses  increased to $2.7 million at June 30, 2000 from
$2.2  million at December  31,  1999,  or 1.01% of total  outstanding  loans and
141.18% of nonperforming loans at the end of the second quarter 2000 as compared
to 0.98% of total loans and 224.49% of nonperforming loans at December 31, 1999.

The allowance for loan losses is  maintained at a level  considered  adequate by
management  to  provide  for  anticipated  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.  The  allowance  is
increased by provisions  charged to operations and reduced by loans charged off,
net of recoveries.

Liquidity and Sources of Funds

The Company's sources of funds are customer  deposits,  cash and demand balances
due from other banks, federal funds sold, short-term  investments and investment
securities  available-for-sale.  These funds,  together with loan repayments and
maturing investments,  are used to make loans and to fund continuing operations.
In addition,  at June 30, 2000, the Company had lines of credit with the Federal
Home Loan Bank of Seattle (FHLB) of $48.0 million,  the Federal  Reserve Bank of
San Francisco of $500,000 and correspondent financial institutions in the amount
of $12.1 million.  As of June 30, 2000,  there were $21.1 million in advances on
these lines of credit.

Total  deposits  increased  5.6% to $268.7  million at June 30, 2000 from $254.5
million as of December  31,  1999.  The  Company,  by policy,  has not  accepted
brokered  deposits.  It has made a concerted  effort to attract  deposits in the
market  area it serves  through  competitive  pricing  and  delivery  of quality
service.  In addition,  the Company has been able to retain a significant amount
of its deposits as they mature.

Management  anticipates that the Company will rely upon customer deposits,  loan
repayments and current earnings to provide liquidity and continue to use Federal
Home Loan Bank advances to supplement funding sources.

Capital

The Company's  shareholders'  equity increased to $30.5 million at June 30, 2000
from $29.8 million at December 31, 1999.  On April 29, 1999 the Company's  Board
of Directors approved the repurchase of up to approximately 5% or 210,000 shares
of  outstanding  Company  stock.  The Board deemed this action prudent given the
Company's  strong  capital  position and market  conditions.  At June 30, 2000 a
total of  198,265  shares  had been  repurchased,  with  56,000 of those  shares
repurchased  during  the six  months  ended  June  30,  2000  for  approximately
$454,000.  Management  anticipates continued repurchases of Company stock, as it
deems  appropriate,  up to the approximate 5% level  approved.  The Company also
paid cash dividends of $406,000 during the first six months ended June 30, 2000.
Net income for the quarter,  offset by the cash dividends and stock repurchases,
were the primary reasons for the Company's increase of $655,000 in shareholders'
equity at June 30, 2000.  Total assets  increased to $322.0  million at June 30,
2000  from  $286.0   million  at  December  31,  1999,  an  increase  of  12.6%.
Shareholders' equity to total assets was 9.5% at June 30, 2000 compared to 10.4%
at December 31, 1999.

The  Company  and the  Bank are  subject  to  risk-based  capital  and  leverage
guidelines  issued by  federal  banking  agencies  for  banks  and bank  holding
companies. These agencies are required by law to take specific prompt corrective
actions with respect to institutions  that do not meet minimum capital standards
and have defined five capital tiers, the highest of which is "well-capitalized".
As  the  following   table   indicates,   the  Company  and  Bank  qualified  as
"well-capitalized" at June 30, 2000.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

A number  of  measures  are used to  monitor  and  manage  interest  rate  risk,
including income simulations and interest sensitivity (gap) analyses.  An income
simulation  model is the primary tool used to assess the direction and magnitude
of changes in net interest income  resulting from changes in interest rates. Key
assumptions in the model include prepayment speeds on  mortgage-related  assets,
cash flows and  maturities  of other  investment  securities,  loan and  deposit
volumes and  pricing.  These  assumptions  are  inherently  uncertain  and, as a
result,  the model cannot  precisely  estimate net interest  income or precisely
predict the impact of higher or lower  interest  rates on net  interest  income.
Actual results will differ from simulated  results due to timing,  magnitude and
frequency of interest rate changes,  changes in market conditions and management
strategies, among other factors. At June 30, 2000, based on the measures used to
monitor and manage  interest rate risk,  there has not been a material change in
the  Company's  interest  rate risk since  December  31,  1999.  For  additional
information, refer to the Company's Form 10-K for year ended December 31, 1999.
