Item 7.  Financial Statements, Pro Forma Financial Information and Exhibits
          

       On August 1, 1997, Cascade Financial Corporation ("Cascade") consummated
its acquisition of AmFirst Bancorporation ("AmFirst").  The unaudited pro forma
consolidated financial information set forth herein has been prepared for
purposes of complying with Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange
Commission.

       (a)    Financial Statements of Business Acquired

       AmFirst's unaudited Condensed Balance Sheet as of June 30, 1997, and
Condensed Statements of Income for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996
are attached hereto as Appendix A.

       (b)    Pro Forma Financial Information

       Unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements reflecting
consummation of the acquisition are attached hereto as Appendix B.  The
unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of financial condition as of
June 30, 1997 combines the historical consolidated statements of financial
condition of Cascade and AmFirst as if the merger had occurred on such date
after giving effect to certain pro forma adjustments described in the
accompanying notes.  The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of
income are presented as if the merger had been consummated at the beginning of
each period presented.  Financial information for AmFirst, which has a December
31 fiscal year end, has been adjusted to reflect a June 30 fiscal year end by
adding the subsequent six month period and subtracting the comparable preceding
year interim results from the financial data as of December 31.

       The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements and notes
thereto reflect the application of the pooling of interests method of
accounting.  The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements
included herein are not necessarily indicative of the future results of
operations or the future financial position of the combined entities or the
results of operations and financial position of the combined entities that
would have actually occurred had the transactions been in effect as of the dates
or for the periods presented.

Notes to Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statement of Financial Condition
and Statement of Operations

Note 1.   Basis of Presentation

     The pro forma condensed combined financial statements reflect the issuance
of 803,485 shares of Cascade Common Stock in exchange for 333,120 shares of
AmFirst Common Stock based on a 2.412 Exchange Ratio.

Note 2.   Adjustments to Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statement of Financial
Condition and Statement of Operations

     The pro forma adjustments reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed
combined statement of financial condition and statements of operation of Cascade
including AmFirst as of June 30, 1997, and the two years ended June 30, 1997
give effect to the following adjustments:

(a)  Transaction-related Expenses.  Nonrecurring transaction-related expenses
recorded are included in the pro forma combined statement of financial condition
as of June 30, 1997.  Material nonrecurring transaction-related expenses
recorded by Cascade, in the quarter the transaction closes, except the loan loss
reserve and an accrued pension payout which were recorded by AmFirst in the
second calendar quarter of 1997, are summarized in the following table:

                                      (in thousands) 

     Professional fees                    $150
     Information systems conversion         50
     Pension payments                       75
     Additional loan loss reserves         650
                                         -----
                                           925
     Tax benefit                          (314)
                                         -----
     Net charge                           $611
                                         =====

     During its due diligence review of AmFirst, Cascade management reviewed in
detail the credit administration and the allowance for loan loss policy of
AmFirst as compared to that used by Cascade.  AmFirst's methodology is based
principally on its proprietary loss experience with less consideration given to
regional economic conditions.  Cascade's reserve setting methodology combines a
formula-based approach and management's knowledge of risks inherent in
individual credits and local economic conditions.  Cascade management concluded
after reviewing the processes and methodologies of the two organizations, that
upon approval of the Merger by shareholders of both companies AmFirst should
record a pre-tax $650,000 loan loss provision in order to reflect the conforming
of AmFirst's reserving policy to that of Cascade. 

     The effect of all of these costs have not been reflected in the pro forma
condensed combined statements of operations.

(b)  Non-competition Agreement.  In connection with the Merger, Thomas H.
Rainville, the Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of AmFirst,
entered into a non-competition agreement with Cascade pursuant to which Mr.
Rainville will receive $5,000 per month for 60 months.  The total amount of the
payments will be capitalized and amortized over the term of the agreement and
are not included in the pro forma condensed combined financial statements.  Mr.
Rainville is a general creditor of Cascade.

Note 3.   Per Share Data

     Earnings Per Share.  Primary net income per share for the two years ended
June 30, 1997 were calculated based on Cascade's weighted average primary
outstanding shares combined with the outstanding AmFirst primary shares
multiplied by the Exchange Ratio of 2,412.  Earnings per share figures have been
restated to take into affect the 25% stock dividend paid as of June 27, 1997.
