                                (Unaudited)

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation
------------------------------
The unaudited consolidated financial statements of EverTrust Financial Group,
Inc. (EverTrust or the Company) and its subsidiaries reflect all adjustments
which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the
statement of financial position and results of operations for the interim
periods presented.  All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.
The consolidated financial statements include EverTrust's wholly owned
subsidiaries, Everett Mutual Bank (EMB), Commercial Bank of Everett (CBE), I-
Pro, Inc. (I-Pro), and Mutual Bancshares Capital Inc. (MB Cap).  All
significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.

The balance sheet data as of March 31, 2000 was derived from audited financial
statements, but does not include all disclosures which have been omitted
pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC) rules pertaining to the presentation of interim financial
statements.  The results of operations for the three and six months ended
September 30, 2000 and 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results
which may be expected for the entire year.  It is suggested that these
consolidated financial statements and notes be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and notes included in EverTrust's Form 10-K
dated June 6, 2000.

Note 2 - Recent Events
----------------------
The Company's Board of Directors adopted the EverTrust Financial Group, Inc.
2000 Stock Option Plan (Plan) and Management Recognition Plan (MRP) on March
20, 2000.  These plans were approved by shareholders at the Company's annual
meeting held July 25, 2000.  The Company has reserved 898,625 and 359,450
shares of Common Stock for issuance under the Plan and MRP, respectively.  On
August 29, 2000, the Compensation Committee granted 698,566 and 359,450 shares
for the Plan and MRP, respectively. Options were granted under the Plan at a
price of $12.06 per share which was equal to the fair market value at the date
of the grant.  The first vesting date for both programs is October 1, 2000.

During the current reporting period, the Company began purchasing shares of
its common stock for the MRP.  As of September 30, 2000, 141,000 shares of the
Company's common stock had been purchased for this plan.

Note 3 - Stock Repurchases
--------------------------
On March 20, 2000, the Board of Directors approved a 5% repurchase
(approximately 426,847 shares) of the Company's outstanding common stock.  On
May 22, 2000, the Board of Directors amended the March 20, 2000 stock
repurchase plan, increasing the

                                      5

<PAGE>




number of shares authorized for repurchase to 10% (approximately 853,694
shares).  At September 30, 2000, the Company had repurchased 545,800 shares of
its common stock.

Note 4   Earnings per share
---------------------------
EverTrust's basic earnings per common share are computed by dividing net
income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the
period.  EverTrust's diluted earnings per common share are computed by
dividing net income by the diluted weighted-average number of shares
outstanding during the period.  For the quarter and six-months ended September
30, 2000, the weighted-average shares outstanding for both basic and diluted
was 7,950,594 and 8,102,473, respectively.  Earnings per share are not
meaningful for the quarter and six months ended September 30, 1999 as the
Company's public offering was not completed until September 30, 1999.

Note 5 - Lines of Business
--------------------------
EverTrust manages the business activities of EMB, CBE, I-Pro and MB Cap.  The
operating results of EverTrust, MB Cap and I-Pro have been included in Other
as their results are not significant when taken on an individual basis.

Financial highlights by lines of business are as follows:

Note 8 - Recently issued accounting standards adopted in these financial
statements
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
In March 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Interpretation No. 44, Accounting for Certain Transaction Involving Stock
Compensation.  The Interpretation became effective July 1, 2000 and applies to
grants of new stock options or awards and changes to existing awards that
occur on or after that date.  The Interpretation must also be applied on a
prospective basis to stock option repricings and grants to nonemployees that
occur after December 15, 1998, and to stock options that are modified to add a
reload feature after January 12, 2000.  This statement does not affect the
results of operations or financial condition of the Company.  FASB
Interpretation No. 44 was adopted by the Company on July 1, 2000.

Note 9 - Recently issued accounting standards not yet adopted
-------------------------------------------------------------
In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities.  In June 2000, the FASB issued SFAS No.
138, which amends certain provisions of SFAS 133 to clarify four areas causing
difficulties in implementation.  The Company will adopt SFAS 133 and the
corresponding amendments under SFAS 138 on April 1, 2001.  SFAS 133, as
amended by SFAS 138, is not expected to have a material impact on EverTrust's
consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flow.

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

General.  EverTrust, a Washington corporation, is primarily engaged in the
business of planning, directing and coordinating the business of its wholly
owned subsidiaries, EMB, CBE, I-Pro and MB Cap.  EMB conducts business through
its 11 full service offices located throughout Snohomish County, Washington,
and a loan office in Bellevue (King County), Washington.  EMB considers the
communities in Snohomish County, Washington, as its primary market area for
making loans and attracting deposits.  EMB also makes loans in King and Pierce
Counties and, to a much lesser extent, other counties in Western Washington.
EMB's principal business is attracting deposits from the general public and
using those funds to originate multifamily, commercial real estate and
construction loans as well as residential mortgage loans.  CBE offers business
loans and deposit services to individuals and local businesses through its
office located in Everett,

                                   8

Washington.  I-Pro is located in Kent, Washington, and provides backroom
banking services for EMB and CBE.  MB Cap is a start-up venture capital
company located in Bothell, Washington, which was organized to provide equity
to regionally-based high- technology companies and companies that make medical
instruments at the beginning or early stages of development.

Comparison of Financial Condition at September 30, and March 31, 2000
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Total assets increased $42.0 million from $555.2 million at March 31, 2000 to
$597.2 million at September 30, 2000.  The majority of the increase was the
result of growth in the loan portfolio partially offset by decreases in the
investment portfolio.

The investment portfolio (including FHLB stock) decreased $17.9 million, or
15.9%, from $112.3 million at March 31, 2000 to $94.4 million at September 30,
2000.  The decrease is due primarily to maturities which were used to fund
growth in the loan portfolio.

Loans receivable increased $57.2 million, or 13.7%, from $416.1 million at
March 31, 2000 to $473.3 million at September 30, 2000.  The increase was due
primarily to growth in the multifamily construction loan portfolio of $36.5
million, from $32.3 million at March 31, 2000 to $68.8 million at September
30, 2000, and the commercial real estate loan portfolio of $21.2 million, from
$128.9 million at March 31, 2000 to $150.1 million at September 30, 2000.

The following table is provided to disclose additional detail on EverTrust's

Total deposits of EverTrust increased by $5.0 million from $383.0 million at
March 31, 2000 to $388.0 million at September 30, 2000.  The change is due
primarily to an increase in certificate of deposits of $14.5 million from
$198.3 million at March 31, 2000 to $212.8 million at September 30, 2000
partially offset by decreases in money market accounts of $9.5 million from
$129.5 million at March 31, 2000 to $120.0 million at September 30,  2000.

Federal Home Loan Bank advances and other borrowings increased $41.2 million
from $34.4 million at March 31, 2000 to $75.6 million at September 30, 2000.
The increased borrowings were used primarily to fund growth in the loan
portfolio.

Total equity at September 30, 2000 was $129.0 million compared to $133.5
million at March 31, 2000, a decrease of $4.5 million.  Earnings of $2.5
million for the six months ending September 30, 2000 were more than offset by
the repurchase of shares of the Company's common stock for $7.1 million and
dividends paid of $1.3 million.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2000
and 1999
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
General.  Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2000 was $1.0
million compared to a loss of $3.1 million for the same period in the prior
year.  The prior year's loss included a one-time $5.2 million pre-tax
contribution to establish the Company's charitable foundation in connection
with EverTrust's conversion to a public company.

Net Interest Income.  Net interest income increased $1.3 million, or 28.9%
from $4.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 1999 to $5.8
million for the three months ended September 30, 2000.  The change is due
primarily to higher average balances of loans receivable.

Interest income increased $2.4 million from $9.4 million for the three months
ended September 30, 1999 to $11.8 million for the same period in 2000.  During
this same period, the average balance of interest-earning assets increased
from $480.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 1999 to $573.3
million for the three months ended September 30, 2000 resulting in increased
income of $1.9 million.  The yield on interest-earning assets increased from
7.83% for the three months ended September 30, 1999 to 8.25% for the same
period in 2000 increasing income $529,000.  Increased average balances are due
primarily to the overall growth of the loan portfolio.  This growth was funded
by proceeds received from the public offering, loan sales and increased
borrowings.  The increase in yields is due primarily to interest rate
increases from period to period and a shift in assets from short-term cash and
cash equivalents to higher yielding loans and investment securities.

Interest expense increased $1.1 million from $4.9 million for the three months
ended September 30, 1999 to $6.0 million for the same period in 2000.  The
average balance of interest-bearing liabilities increased 3.1% during this
same time period.  The average balance for interest-bearing deposits and
borrowings for the three months ended September 30, 1999 was $430.9 million
compared to $444.1 million for the same period in 2000.  This increase
resulted in higher expense from period to period of $151,000.  Interest
expense increased an additional $862,000 due to an increase in the yield on
interest-bearing liabilities from 4.59% for the three months ended September
30, 1999 to 5.39% for the same period in 2000.  The increased yield is due
primarily to a change in the composition of interest-bearing liabilities.  The
average balance of borrowings comprised 15.4% of interest-bearing liabilities
for the quarter ended September 30, 2000 compared to 4.9% for the same period
in 1999.

Provision for Loan Losses.  During the three months ended September 30, 2000,
the provision for loan losses was $375,000, compared to $135,000 for the same
period in 1999, an increase of $240,000.  The increase resulted from continued
loan portfolio

                                     12

<PAGE>




growth in the higher-risk lending categories of commercial and multifamily
loans, business loans and credit card loans during the period.  The allowance
for loan losses increased $675,000 from $6.5 million at March 31, 2000 to $7.2
million at September 30, 2000.  The allowance for loan losses as a percentage
of net loans (loans receivable excluding allowance for losses) was 1.49% at
September 30, 2000 and 1.53% at March 31, 2000.

The allowance for losses on loans is maintained at a level sufficient to cover
losses inherent in the loan portfolio but not yet apparent to management.  The
risk of loss will vary with the type of loan being made, the creditworthiness
of the borrower, general economic conditions and, in the case of a secured
loan, the quality of the security for the loan.  EverTrust's management
reviews the adequacy of the allowance at least quarterly, as computed by a
consistently applied formula-based methodology, supplemented by management's
assessment of current economic conditions, past loss and collection
experience, and risk characteristics of the loan portfolio.  In addition,
various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process,
periodically review the Company's allowance for loan losses.  Such agencies
may require the Company to provide additions to the allowance based on
judgment different from management.  Although management uses the best
information available, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary
due to economic, operating, regulatory and other conditions beyond EverTrust's
control.

Non-interest Income.  Non-interest income increased $478,000 from $240,000 for
the three months ended September 30, 1999 to $718,000 for the same period in
2000.  The change is due primarily to gains earned on the sale of loans and
investments.  For the three months ended September 30, 2000, the Company
recognized $34,000 in gains on the sale of loans compared to a loss of
$156,000 for the same period in 1999.  Gains of $157,000 were recorded on the
sale of available for sale investment securities for the three months ended
September 30, 2000.  There were no investment security gains or losses for the
same period in 1999.

Non-interest Expense.  Non-interest expense decreased $4.6 million from $9.3
million for the three months ended September 30, 1999 to $4.7 million for the
same period in 2000.  The decrease is due primarily to a one-time charitable
contribution to the EverTrust Foundation for $5.2 million during the three
months ended September 30, 1999.  This was partially offset by $885,000 in
costs associated with the Company's Management Recognition Plan (MRP), which
was approved by shareholders during the quarter ended September 30, 2000.  The
MRP expense incurred during the quarter represents a full one-fifth of the
total cost of the plan.  The remaining cost is expected to be recognized
ratably over the next four years and will end September 2004.

Provision for Income Taxes.  Federal income taxes increased from a benefit of
$1.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 1999 to an expense of
$414,000 for the same period in 2000.  The change is due to increased taxable
earnings.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Six Months Ended September 30, 2000
and 1999
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
General.  Net income for the six months ended September 30, 2000 was $2.5
million compared to a loss of $2.4 million for the same period in the prior
year.  The prior year's loss included a one-time $5.2 million pre-tax
contribution to establish the Company's charitable foundation in connection
with EverTrust's conversion to a public company.

Net Interest Income.  Net interest income increased $2.9 million from $8.6
million for the six months ended September 30, 1999 to $11.5 million for the
six months ended September 30, 2000.  The change is due primarily to higher
average balances of interest-earning assets.

Interest income increased $4.5 million from $18.2 million for the six months
ended September 30, 1999 to $22.7 million for the same period in 2000.  During
this same period, the average balance of interest-earning assets increased
from $464.1 million for the six months ended September 30, 1999 to $559.1
million for the six months ended September 30, 2000 resulting in increased
income of $4.0 million.  The yield on interest- earning assets increased from
7.84% for the six months ended September 30, 1999 to 8.11% for the same period
in 2000 increasing income $526,000.  Increased average balances are due
primarily to the overall growth of the loan portfolio.  This growth was funded
by proceeds received from the public offering, loan sales and increased
borrowings.  The increase in yields is due primarily to interest rate
increases from period to period and a shift in assets from short-term cash and
cash equivalents to higher yielding loans and investment securities.

Interest expense increased $1.6 million from $9.6 million for the six months
ended September 30, 1999 to $11.2 million for the same period in 2000.  The
average balance of interest-bearing liabilities increased $17.2 million from
$412.4 million for the six months ended September 30, 1999 to $429.7 million
for the same period in 2000.  This increase resulted in higher interest
expense from period to period of $449,000.  Interest expense increased an
additional $1.2 million due to an increase in the yield on interest-bearing
liabilities from 4.64% for the six months ended September 30, 1999 to 5.22%
for the same period in 2000.  The increased yield is due primarily to a change
in the composition of interest-bearing liabilities.  The average balance of
borrowings comprised 13.0% of interest-bearing liabilities for the six months
ended September 30, 2000 compared to 4.9% for the same period in 1999.

Provision for Loan Losses.  During the six months ended September 30, 2000,
the provision for loan losses was $675,000, compared to $410,000 for the same
period in 1999, an increase of $265,000.  The increase resulted from continued
loan portfolio growth in the higher-risk lending categories of commercial and
multifamily loans,

                                    15

<PAGE>




business loans and credit card loans during the period.  For additional
discussion about the allowance for losses on loans, see "Comparison of
Operating Results for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2000 and 1999
Provision for Loan Losses."

Non-interest Income.  Non-interest income increased $1.0 million from $348,000
for the six months ended September 30, 1999 to $1.4 million for the same
period in 2000.  The change is due primarily to gains earned on the sale of
mortgage loans.  For the six months ended September 30, 1999, the Company
recognized a loss of $638,000 compared to gain of $51,000 for the same period
in 2000.  Also, the Company's subsidiary, Mutual Bancshares Capital, Inc.,
earned management fees from its venture capital investments.  For the six
months ended September 30, 2000, the Company earned fees of $96,000.  During
the same period in 1999, no fees were earned.  Commission earned on the sale
of mutual funds and annuities increased from $51,000 for the six months ended
September 30, 1999 to $110,000 for the same period in 2000.

Non-interest Expense.  Non-interest expense decreased $4.0 million from $12.5
million for the six months ended September 30, 1999 to $8.5 million for the
same period in 2000.  The decrease is due primarily to a one-time charitable
contribution to the EverTrust Foundation for $5.2 million during the six
months ended September 30, 1999.  This was partially offset by higher
compensation costs.  Salary and employee benefits increased $1.5 million from
$3.3 million for the six months ended September 30, 1999 to $4.8 million for
the six months ended September 30, 2000.  Compensation expense increased as
the result of the recognition of $885,000 in costs associated with the MRP,
ESOP expense, increased staffing levels and general salary increases as
compared to the prior year.  The Company incurred $216,000 in ESOP expense
during the current period.  During the same period last year, there were no
ESOP costs as the plan was not yet in place.  This was partially offset by
reduced costs of $62,000 related to the defined benefit plan (this plan was in
effect during the first six months of the prior year but was later terminated
in the third quarter of fiscal 2000).

Provision for Income Taxes.  Federal income taxes increased from a benefit of
$1.5 million for the six months ended September 30, 1999 to an expense of $1.1
million for the same period in 2000.  The change is due to increased taxable
earnings.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
-------------------------------
EverTrust's primary source of funds are deposits, proceeds from principal and
interest payments on loans and securities, and Federal Home Loan Bank of
Seattle advances and other borrowings.  While maturities and scheduled
amortization of loan and securities are a predictable source of funds, deposit
flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest
rates, economic conditions and competition.

The primary investing activity of EverTrust is the origination of commercial
real estate, multifamily and one-to-four family mortgage loans.  A secondary,
but increasing activity of the Company is the origination of business loans.
During the six months ended September 30, 2000, the Company funded $95.5
million in new loans.  In addition,

                                     16

<PAGE>




during this same period, funds were used to purchase $5.9 million in
investment securities and to repurchase shares of the Company's common stock
for $7.1 million.  These activities were funded by loan repayments, proceeds
from the maturities of investment securities and proceeds from Federal Home
Loan Bank of Seattle advances and other borrowings.

EverTrust must maintain adequate levels of liquidity to ensure the
availability of sufficient funds to support loan growth and deposit
withdrawals, to satisfy financial commitments and to take advantage of
investment opportunities.  The source of funds include deposits, principal and
interest payments from loans and investments and Federal Home Loan Bank of
Seattle advances and other borrowings.

The management of EverTrust believes it has adequate resources to fund all
loan commitments by deposits, Federal Home Loan Bank of Seattle advances and
other borrowings and the sale of mortgage loans.  It can also adjust the
offering rates of deposit accounts to retain deposits in changing interest
rate environments.

Capital Requirements.  EverTrust, as a financial holding company, is regulated
by the Federal Reserve Board (FRB).  The FRB's minimum risk-based capital
ratio guidelines for Tier 1 and total capital are 4% and 8%, respectively.

The actual regulatory capital ratios calculated for EverTrust along with the
minimum capital amounts and ratios for capital adequacy purposes were as
follows (dollars in thousands):

                                                           Minimum for Capital
                                                Actual      adequacy purposes

                                             Amount  Ratio    Amount   Ratio
                                           --------  -----    -------  -----
September 30, 2000:
 Total capital to risk-weighted assets     $135,963  25.66 %  $42,395  8.00 %
 Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets     129,332  24.41     21,197  4.00
 Tier 1 leverage capital to average assets  129,332  22.12     23,390  4.00

Asset and Liability Management and Market Risk
----------------------------------------------
EverTrust's profitability depends primarily on its net interest income, which
is the difference between the income it receives on its loan and investment
portfolio and its cost of funds, which consists of interest paid on deposits
and borrowings.  Net income is further affected by gains and losses on loans
held for sale, which can be affected by changes in interest rates.  Net
interest income is also affected by the relative amounts of interest-earning
assets and interest-bearing liabilities.  When interest-earning assets equal
or exceed interest-bearing liabilities, any positive interest rate spread will
generate net interest income.  EverTrust continues to actively manage the
impact of interest rate changes on net interest income and capital by
emphasizing the origination of adjustable rate and short-term fixed rate
loans, selling 30 year fixed rate mortgages, and purchasing

                                   17

<PAGE>




investment securities that better match the duration of its deposits.
EverTrust's profitability is also affected by the level of non-interest income
and expenses.  Non-interest income includes service charges and fees on
accounts and gains on sale of investments and loans.  Non-interest expenses
primarily include compensation and benefits, occupancy and equipment expenses,
deposit insurance premiums and data processing expenses.  EverTrust's results
of operations are also significantly affected by general economic and
competitive conditions, particularly changes in market interest rates,
government legislation and regulation and monetary and fiscal policies.

EverTrust does not maintain a trading account for any class of financial
instrument nor does it purchase high-risk derivative instruments.  EMB is
authorized to engage in limited hedging activities for its saleable loan
pipeline, however, no such hedges were in place at September 30, 2000.
Furthermore, EverTrust has no commodity price risk, and only a limited amount
of foreign currency exchange rate risk as a result of holding Canadian
currency in the normal course of business.
