Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure

        Pacific Financial Corporation (“Pacific”) is furnishing information in accordance with Regulation FD regarding its financial results for the six months ended June 30, 2006. This information shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, except as may be expressly set forth by specific reference in any such filing.

        Pacific’s net income for the six months ended June 30, 2006, was $3,335,000, a 20% increase compared to $2,785,000 for the six month period ended June 30, 2005. The increase is primarily related to the increase in interest income as a result of the rise in short-term interest rates and a decrease in loan loss provision of $600,000 compared to the same period for the prior year. Additionally, gain on sale of real estate loans was $886,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to $697,000 for the same period of the prior year.

        Net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2006, increased $1,492,000 to $11,532,000 compared to the same period of the prior year. The increase is attributable primarily to a $3,024,000 increase in interest income, while interest expense increased $2,132,000.

        Non-interest income increased $116,000 to $2,036,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006, compared to the same period of the prior year, while non-interest expense increased $801,000 to $8,780,000. The increase in non-interest expense is primarily related to increased personnel benefit costs, occupancy costs and accounting fees.

        The federal income tax provision for the six months ended June 30, 2006, was $1,452,000, compared to $1,195,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2005.

        Pacific’s unaudited consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2006 and June 30, 2005, and unaudited consolidated statements of operations and selected performance ratios for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, follow.
