               Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                     Three Months Ended June 30, 2000
                                (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 result of operations for the three months ended June 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   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 number of shares authorized for repurchase to
10% (approximately 853,694 shares).  At June 30, 2000, the Company had
repurchased 545,800 shares of its common stock.

Note 3   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 ended June 30, 2000, the
weighted-average shares outstanding was 8,256,022 for both basic and diluted.
Earnings per share are not meaningful for the quarter ended June 30, 1999 as
the Company's public offering was not completed until September 30, 1999.

Note 4   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.

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 multi-family, commercial real estate and

                                      7

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, 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 June 30, and March 31, 2000
----------------------------------------------------------------

Total assets increased $25.0 million from $555.2 million at March 31, 2000 to
$580.2 million at June 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 $8.4 million, or
7.5%, from $112.3 million at March 31, 2000 to $103.9 million at June 30,
2000.  The decrease was due to maturities which in turn were used to fund
growth in the loan portfolio.

Loans receivable increased $31.1 million, or 7.5%, from $416.1 million at
March 31, 2000 to $447.2 million at June 30, 2000.  The increase was due
primarily to growth in the multifamily construction loan portfolio of $14.8
million, from $32.3 million at March 31, 2000 to $47.1 million at June 30,
2000; the business loan portfolio of $10.8 million, from $16.5 million at
March 31, 2000 to $27.3 million at June 30, 2000; and the commercial real
estate loan portfolio of $7.1 million, from $128.9 million at March 31, 2000
to $136.0 million at June 30, 2000.

Total deposits of EverTrust decreased by $2.7 million from $383.0 million at
March 31, 2000 to $380.3 million at June 30, 2000.  The change is the result
of decreases in money market accounts of $9.6 million from $129.5 million at
March 31, 2000 to $119.9 million at June 30, 2000 partially offset by
increases in certificate of deposits of $7.7 million from $198.3 million at
March 31, 2000 to $206.0 million at June 30, 2000.

Federal Home Loan Bank advances and other borrowings increased $32.5 million
from $34.4 million at March 31, 2000 to $66.9 million at June 30, 2000.  The
increased borrowings were used primarily to fund growth in the loan portfolio.

Total equity at June 30, 2000 was $129.0 million compared to $133.5 million at
March 31, 2000.  This is a decrease of $4.5 million.  Earnings of $1.5 million
for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 were more than offset by the repurchase of
shares of the Company's common stock for $5.4 million and dividends paid of
$612,000.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2000 and
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1999
----

General.  Net income increased $857,000 from $641,000 for the three months
ended June 30, 1999 to $1.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000.
The increase is due primarily to higher net interest income of $1.4 million
partially offset by increased other expenses of $664,000.

Net Interest Income.  Net interest income increased 33.3% from $4.2 million
for the three months ended June 30, 1999 to $5.6 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2000. The change is due primarily to higher average balances of
interest-earning assets.

Interest income increased $2.1 million from $8.8 million for the three months
ended June 30, 1999 to $10.9 million for the same period in 2000.  During this
same time period, the average balance of interest-earning assets increased
from $446.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 1999 to $544.3 million
for the three months ended June 30, 2000 resulting in an increase of $2.0
million in income.  The yield on interest-earning assets increased from 7.87%
for the three months ended June 30, 1999 to 7.98% for the same period in 2000
increasing income $108,000.  Increased balances were due to increased loan
volumes and security purchases from year to year.  These were funded by the
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 the shift in assets from short-term cash
and cash equivalents to higher yielding investment securities.

Interest expense increased $615,000 from $4.6 million for the three months
ended June 30, 1999 to $5.2 million for the same period in 2000.  The average
balance of interest-bearing liabilities increased 5.5% or $21.7 million from
$392.9 million at June 30, 1999 to $414.6 million for the three months ended
June 30, 2000 resulting in an increase of $375,000 in expense.  Interest
expense increased an additional $219,000 by an increase in the yield on
interest-bearing liabilities from 4.70% for the three months ended June 30,
1999 to 5.05% for the same period in 2000.  The increased yield is due to
interest rate increases combined with a change in the composition of
interest-bearing liabilities. The average balance of borrowings comprised
10.2% of interest-bearing liabilities for the quarter ended June 30, 2000
compared to 4.8% for the same period in 1999.

Provision for Loan Losses.  During the three months ended June 30, 2000, the
provision for loan losses was $300,000, compared to $275,000 for the same
period in 1999, an increase of $25,000.  The increase resulted from continued
loan portfolio growth.  The allowance for loan losses increased $301,000 from
$6.5 million at March 31, 2000 to $6.8 million at June 30, 2000.  The
allowance for loan losses as a percentage of net loans (loans receivable
excluding allowance for losses) was 1.49% at June 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 $530,000 from $108,000 for
the three months ended June 30, 1999 to $638,000 for the same period in 2000.
The change is due primarily to a $448,000 mark-to-market loss on loans held
for sale at June 30, 1999.  At June 30, 2000, the Company had no loans held
for sale.  Also, commissions earned on the sale of mutual funds and annuities
increased from $11,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1999 to $77,000 for
the same period in 2000.

Non-interest Expense.  Non-interest expense increased $664,000 from $3.2
million for the three months ended June 30, 1999 to $3.8 million for the same
period in 2000.  Salary and employee benefits increased $276,000 from $1.6
million for the three months ended June 30, 1999 to $1.9 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2000.  Compensation expense increased as the result of
increased staffing levels and general salary increases as compared to the
prior year.  Also, the Company incurred $100,000 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
$25,000 related to the defined benefit plan (this plan was in effect during
the first quarter of fiscal 1999 but was later terminated in the third quarter
of fiscal 1999).  Other expenses increased $315,000 from $702,000 for the
three months ended June 30, 1999 to $1.0 million for the three months ended
June 30, 2000.  Increased costs of $94,000 for professional services

                                      12

<PAGE>




and $72,000 for printing and postage were the primary reasons for the change.
Professional services costs increased as the result of the change from a
private to public company and consulting costs incurred in connection with the
Company's upcoming computer conversion, which is anticipated to be completed
during the third quarter of the current year.  The increase in printing and
postage expenses are due to costs incurred to print and mail the annual report
and the printing of new forms and additional mailings required as a result of
the computer conversion of CBE which was completed during the quarter ended
June 30, 2000.

Provision for Income Taxes.  Federal income taxes increased from $208,000 for
the three months ended June 30, 1999 to $654,000 for the three months ended
June 30, 2000.  The change is due to increased taxable earnings.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
-------------------------------

EverTrust's primary source of funds are deposits and 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 three months ended June 30, 2000, the Company funded $49.8 million
in new loans. In addition, during this three month period, funds were used to
purchase $4.9 million in investment securities and to repurchase shares of the
Company's common stock for $5.4 million.  These activities were funded by loan
repayments, proceeds from the maturities of investment securities and proceeds
from Federal Home Loan Bank 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 and principal
and interest payments from loans and investments and Federal Home Loan Bank of
Seattle advances.

The management of EverTrust believes it has adequate resources to fund all
loan commitments by deposits and, if necessary, 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):

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 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.  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 June 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.
