	CoBiz Financial Inc. and Subsidiaries
	Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

	1. Nature of Operations and Significant Accounting Policies

	The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of CoBiz Financial Inc. (Parent), and its subsidiaries: CoBiz Bank (Bank); CoBiz Insurance, Inc.; CoBiz GMB, Inc.; and CoBiz IM, Inc. (CoBiz IM); all collectively referred to as the “Company” or “CoBiz,” conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and prevailing practices within the banking industry. The Bank operates in its Colorado market areas under the name Colorado Business Bank (CBB) and in its Arizona market areas under the name Arizona Business Bank (ABB).

	The Bank is a commercial banking institution with nine locations in the Denver metropolitan area; one in Boulder; one near Vail, one in Colorado Springs; one in Fort Collins; and six in the Phoenix metropolitan area. As a state chartered bank, deposits are insured by the Bank Insurance Fund of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and the Bank is subject to supervision, regulation and examination by the Federal Reserve, Colorado Division of Banking and the FDIC. Pursuant to such regulations, the Bank is subject to special restrictions, supervisory requirements and potential enforcement actions. CoBiz Insurance, Inc. provides commercial and personal property and casualty (P&C) insurance brokerage, risk management consulting services to small and medium-sized businesses and individuals and provides employee benefits consulting, insurance brokerage and related administrative support to employers. CoBiz GMB, Inc. provides investment banking services to middle-market companies through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Green Manning & Bunch, Ltd. (GMB). CoBiz IM provides wealth planning and investment management to institutions and individuals through its SEC-registered investment advisor subsidiary, CoBiz Investment Management, LLC (CIM).

	The following is a summary of certain of the Company’s significant accounting and reporting policies.

	Basis of Presentation —These financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with, and are qualified in their entirety by, the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

	The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normally recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2014.

	The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include entities in which the Parent has a controlling financial interest. These entities include; the Bank; CoBiz Insurance, Inc.; CoBiz GMB, Inc.; and CoBiz IM. Intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. The Company determines whether it has a controlling financial interest in an entity by first evaluating whether the entity is a voting interest entity or a variable interest entity (VIE).

	The voting interest model is used when the equity investment is sufficient to absorb the expected losses and the equity investment has all of the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. Under the voting interest model, the party with the controlling voting interest consolidates the legal entity. The VIE model is used when any of the following conditions exist: the equity investment at risk is not sufficient to finance the entity’s activities without additional subordinated financial support; the holders of the equity investment do not have a controlling voting interest; or the holders of the equity investment are not obligated to absorb the expected losses or residual returns of the legal entity. An enterprise is considered to have a controlling financial interest of a VIE if it has both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses, or receive benefits, that are significant to the VIE. An enterprise that has a controlling financial interest is considered the primary beneficiary and must consolidate the VIE. The Company was not the primary beneficiary of a VIE at September 30, 2014 or December 31, 2013.

	Certain reclassifications have been made to prior years’ Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes to conform to current year presentation including the combination of our operating segments.

	Cash and Cash Equivalents — The Company considers all liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents include amounts that the Company is required to maintain at the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City to meet certain regulatory reserve balance requirements. The following table shows supplemental disclosures of certain cash and noncash items:


		Nine months ended
		September 30,
	(in thousands)	2014		2013
	Cash paid during the period for:
	Interest	$	6,190	$	8,398
	Income taxes		5,555		6,782

	Other noncash activities:
	Loans transferred to held for sale		7,087		8,044
	Loans transferred to OREO		2,659		211
	Financed sales of OREO		-		1,000



	Investments — The Company classifies its investment securities as held to maturity, available for sale or trading, according to management’s intent.

	Available for sale securities consist of residential mortgage-backed securities (MBS), bonds, notes and debentures (including corporate debt and trust preferred securities (TPS)) not classified as held to maturity securities and are reported at fair value as determined by quoted market prices. Unrealized holding gains and losses, net of tax, are reported as a net amount in AOCI until realized.

	Investment securities held to maturity consist of MBS, bonds, notes and debentures for which the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity and are reported at cost, adjusted for amortization or accretion of premiums and discounts.

	Premiums and discounts, adjusted for prepayments as applicable, are recognized in interest income. Other than temporary declines in the fair value of individual investment securities held to maturity and available for sale are charged against earnings. Gains and losses on disposal of investment securities are determined using the specific‑identification method.

	Other-than-temporary-impairment (OTTI) on debt securities is separated between the amount that is credit related (credit loss component) and the amount due to all other factors. The credit loss component is recognized in earnings and is the difference between a security’s amortized cost basis and the discounted present value of expected future cash flows. The amount due to all other factors is recognized in other comprehensive income (OCI).

	Bank Stocks — Federal Home Loan Bank of Topeka (FHLB), Federal Reserve Bank and other correspondent bank stocks are accounted for under the cost method.

	Loans held for investment— Loans that the Company has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or pay-off are reported at their outstanding principal balance adjusted for any charge-offs, the allowance for loan losses, deferred fees and costs on originated loans, and unamortized premiums or discounts on purchased loans. Interest is accrued and credited to income daily based on the principal balance outstanding. The accrual of interest income is generally discontinued when a loan becomes 90 days past due as to principal and interest. When a loan is designated as nonaccrual, the current period’s accrued interest receivable is charged against current earnings while any portions relating to prior periods are charged against the allowance for loan losses. Interest payments received on nonaccrual loans are generally applied to the principal balance of the loan. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured and there has been demonstrated performance in accordance with contractual terms. The Company may elect to continue the accrual of interest when the loan is in the process of collection and the realizable value of collateral is sufficient to cover the principal balance and accrued interest.

	Impaired loans — Impaired loans, with the exception of groups of smaller-balance homogenous loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment, are defined as loans for which, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays of less than 90 days and monthly payment shortfalls of less than 10% of the contractual payment on a consumer loan generally are not classified as impaired if the Company ultimately expects to recover its full investment. The Company determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis by the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. Loans that are deemed to be impaired are evaluated in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 310-10-35, Receivables – Subsequent Measurement (ASC 310) and ASC Topic 450-20, Loss Contingencies (ASC 450).

	Included in impaired loans are troubled debt restructurings. A troubled debt restructuring is a formal restructure of a loan where the Company, for economic or legal reasons related to the borrower’s financial difficulties, grants a concession to the borrower. The concessions may be granted in various forms, including but not limited to reduction in the stated interest rate, reduction in the loan balance or accrued interest, or extension of the maturity date. Troubled debt restructurings are evaluated in accordance with ASC Topic 310-10-40, Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors. Interest payments on impaired loans are typically applied to principal unless collectability of principal is reasonably assured. Loans that have been modified in a formal restructuring are typically returned to accrual status when there has been a sustained period of performance (generally six months) under the modified terms, the borrower has shown the ability and willingness to repay and the Company expects to collect all amounts due under the modified terms.

	Loan Origination Fees and Costs — Loan fees and certain costs of originating loans are deferred and the net amount is amortized over the contractual life of the related loans in accordance with ASC Topic 310-20, Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs.

	Allowance for Loan Losses — The allowance for loan losses (ALL) is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged against earnings. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectability of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

	The ALL is evaluated on a regular basis by management and is based upon management’s periodic review of the collectability of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral, and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as new information becomes available.

	Allowance for Credit Losses — The allowance for credit losses is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for credit losses charged to earnings. The allowance for credit losses represents management’s recognition of a separate reserve for off-balance sheet loan commitments and letters of credit. While the allowance for loan losses is recorded as a contra-asset to the loan portfolio on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, the allowance for credit losses is recorded under the caption “Accrued interest and other liabilities”. Although the allowances are presented separately on the balance sheets, any losses incurred from credit losses would be reported as a charge-off in the allowance for loan losses, as any loss would be recorded after the off-balance sheet commitment had been funded.

Bank-Owned Life Insurance (BOLI) — The Bank invested in BOLI policies to fund certain future employee benefit costs and are recorded at net realizable value. Changes in the amount that could be realized and amounts realized from policy claims are recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income as “Other income”.

Derivative Instruments — Derivative financial instruments are accounted for at fair value. The Company utilizes interest rate swaps to hedge a portion of its exposure to interest rate changes. These instruments are accounted for as cash flow hedges, as defined by ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging (ASC 815). The net cash flows from these hedges are classified in operating activities within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows with the hedged items. The Company also uses interest rate swaps to hedge against adverse changes in fair value on fixed-rate loans. These instruments are accounted for as fair value hedges in accordance with ASC 815. The Company also has a derivative program that offers interest-rate caps, floors, swaps and collars to customers of the Bank. The Company also uses foreign currency forward contracts (FX forwards) giving it the right to sell underlying currencies at specified future dates and predetermined prices in order to mitigate foreign exchange risk associated with long positions. FX forwards are carried at fair value with changes in value recognized in current earnings as the contracts are not designated as hedging instruments. See Note 7—Derivatives.

Fair Value Measurements — The Company measures financial assets, financial liabilities, nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities pursuant to ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASC 820). ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.

	2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

	In January 2014, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standard Update (ASU) No. 2014-04, Receivables – Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors (Subtopic 310-40) – Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure (ASU 2014-04). The amendments in ASU 2014-04 are intended to clarify when a creditor should be considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan such that the loan should be derecognized and the real estate recognized. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014 and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company is currently evaluating the effects of ASU 2014-04 on its financial statements and disclosures, if any.

	In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08 Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360) – Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity (ASU 2014-08). The amendments in ASU 2014-08 change the criteria for reporting discontinued operations and improve related disclosures. This ASU also addresses sources of confusion and inconsistent application related to financial reporting of discontinued operations guidance. ASU 2014-08 will be effective for annual financial statements with fiscal years beginning on or after December 31, 2014 and interim periods thereafter. The Company is currently evaluating the effects ASU 2014-08 will have on its financial statements and disclosures, if any.

	In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (ASU 2014-09). This update to the ASC is the culmination of efforts by the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) to develop a common revenue standard for U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). ASU 2014-09 supersedes Topic 605 – Revenue Recognition and most industry-specific guidance. The core principal of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance in ASU 2014-09 describes a 5-step process entities can apply to achieve the core principle of revenue recognition and requires disclosures sufficient to enable users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers and the significant judgments used in determining that information. The amendments in ASU 2014-9 are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period and early application is not allowed. The Company is currently evaluating the effects of ASU 2014-04 on its financial statements and disclosures, if any.

	In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718) –Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Services Period (ASU 2014-12). The amendments in ASU 2014-12 provide guidance for determining compensation cost under specific circumstances when an employee is eligible to vest in an award regardless of whether the employee is rendering service on the date the performance target is achieved. ASU 2014-12 becomes effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015 with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effects of ASU 2014-12 on its financial statements and disclosures, if any.

	In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40) (ASU 2014-15). The amendments’ objective of ASU 2014-15 is to define management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an organization’s ability to continue as a going concern and provide related disclosures. Currently, GAAP does not provide guidance to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt the organization’s ability to continue as a going concern. This ASU provides guidance to an organization’s management, with principles and definitions to reduce diversity in the timing and content of disclosures commonly provided by organizations today in the financial statements footnotes. ASU 2014-15 is effective for periods ending after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company does not believe the effects of ASU 2014-15 will have an impact on its financial statements and disclosures.

	3. Earnings per Common Share and Dividends Declared per Common Share

	Earnings per common share is calculated based on the two-class method prescribed in ASC 260, Earnings per Share. The two-class method is an allocation of undistributed earnings to common stock and securities that participate in dividends with common stock. The Company’s restricted stock awards are considered participating securities since the recipients receive non-forfeitable dividends on unvested awards. The impact of participating securities is included in common shareholder basic earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013. Earnings per common share from discontinued operations was not material in the presented periods and have been excluded from the following table. Income allocated to common shares and weighted average shares outstanding used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share are as follows:

	The Company uses investment securities to collateralize public deposits. At September 30, 2014 investment securities with an approximate fair value of $145.7 million were used to partially collateralize public deposits of $158.2 million. At December 31, 2013 investment securities with an approximate fair value of $138.8 million were used to fully collateralize public deposits of $106.4 million. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase of $76.0 million and $138.5 million at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, consisted primarily of MBS with an estimated fair value of $89.2 million and $162.8 million, respectively.

	Changes in interest rates and market liquidity may cause adverse fluctuations in the market price of securities resulting in temporary unrealized losses. In reviewing the realizable value of its securities in a loss position, the Company considered the following factors: (1) the length of time and extent to which the market had been less than cost; (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer; (3) investment downgrades by rating agencies; and (4) whether it is more likely than not that the Company will have to sell the security before a recovery in value. When it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the security, and the fair value of the investment security is less than its amortized cost, an other-than-temporary impairment is recognized in earnings.
	For debt securities that are considered other-than temporarily impaired and that the Company does not intend to sell and will not be required to sell prior to recovery of the amortized cost basis, an OTTI is recognized. OTTI is separated into the amount that is credit related (credit loss component) and the amount due to all other factors. The credit loss component is recognized in earnings and is the difference between a security’s amortized cost basis and the discounted present value of expected future cash flows. The amount due to all other factors is recognized in OCI. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company did not have any credit impaired securities.

	There were 26 and 44 securities in the tables below at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, in an unrealized loss position.

Bank stocks consist primarily of stock in the FHLB which is part of the Federal Home Loan Bank System. The purpose of the FHLB investment relates to maintenance of a borrowing base with the FHLB. FHLB stock holdings are largely dependent upon the Company’s liquidity position. To the extent the need for wholesale funding increases or decreases, the Company may purchase additional or sell excess FHLB stock, respectively. The Company evaluates impairment in this investment based on the ultimate recoverability of the par value and at September 30, 2014, did not consider the investment to be other-than-temporarily impaired.

	5. Loans

	The following disclosure reports the Company’s loan portfolio segments and classes. Segments are groupings of similar loans at a level which the Company has adopted systematic methods of documentation for determining its allowance for loan and credit losses. Classes are a disaggregation of the portfolio segments. In the first quarter of 2014, the Company combined its land acquisition and development and real estate construction loan segments into a single segment called Construction and land. Prior period balances were adjusted to conform to the current presentation. The Company’s loan portfolio segments are:

		·		Commercial loans – Commercial loans consist of loans to small and medium-sized businesses in a wide variety of industries. The Bank’s areas of emphasis in commercial lending include, but are not limited to, loans to wholesalers, manufacturers, construction and business services companies. Commercial loans are generally collateralized by inventory, accounts receivable, equipment, real estate and other commercial assets, and may be supported by other credit enhancements such as personal guarantees. Risk arises primarily due to a difference between expected and actual cash flows of the borrowers. However, the recoverability of the Company’s investment in these loans is also dependent on other factors primarily dictated by the type of collateral securing these loans. The fair value of the collateral securing these loans may fluctuate as market conditions change. In the case of loans secured by accounts receivable, the recovery of the Company’s investment is dependent upon the borrowers’ ability to collect amounts due from its customers.

		·		Real estate - mortgage loans – Real estate - mortgage loans include various types of loans for which the Company holds real property as collateral. Commercial real estate lending activity is typically restricted to owner-occupied properties or to investor properties that are owned by customers with a current banking relationship. The primary risks of real estate mortgage loans include the borrower’s inability to pay, material decreases in the value of the real estate that is being held as collateral and significant increases in interest rates, which may make the real estate mortgage loan unprofitable. Real estate loans may be more adversely affected by conditions in the real estate markets or in the general economy.

		·		Construction and land – The Company originates loans to finance construction projects including one- to four-family residences, multifamily residences, commercial office, senior housing, and industrial projects. Residential construction loans are due upon the sale of the completed project and are generally collateralized by first liens on the real estate and have floating interest rates. Construction loans are considered to have higher risks due to construction completion and timing risk, and the ultimate repayment being sensitive to interest rate changes, governmental regulation of real property and the availability of long-term financing. Additionally, economic conditions may impact the Company’s ability to recover its investment in construction loans. Adverse economic conditions may negatively impact the real estate market which could affect the borrowers’ ability to complete and sell the project. Additionally, the fair value of the underlying collateral may fluctuate as market conditions change. The Company also originates loans for the acquisition and future development of land for residential building projects, as well as finished lots prepared to enter the construction phase. The primary risks include the borrower’s inability to pay and the inability of the Company to recover its investment due to a decline in the fair value of the underlying collateral.

		·		Consumer loans – The Company provides a broad range of consumer loans to customers, including personal lines of credit, home equity loans, jumbo mortgage loans and automobile loans. Repayment of these loans is dependent on the borrowers’ ability to pay and the fair value of the underlying collateral.

		·		Other loans – Other loans include lending products, such as taxable and tax-exempt leasing, not defined as commercial, real estate, construction and land, or consumer loans.

	The loan portfolio segments at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 were as follows:



	(in thousands)	At September 30, 2014			At December 31, 2013
	Commercial	$	962,838		$	825,530
	Real estate - mortgage		965,016			901,721

	Unearned net loan fees		-1,608			-2,023
	Total net loans	$	2,323,387		$	2,047,309

	The Company uses qualifying loans as collateral for advances and a line of credit from the FHLB. The FHLB line of credit, which had a $166.0 million balance outstanding at September 30, 2014, was collateralized by loans of $844.2 million with a lending value of $537.5 million.

	The Company maintains a loan review program independent of the lending function that is designed to reduce and control risk in lending. It includes the continuous monitoring of lending activities with respect to underwriting and processing new loans, preventing insider abuse and timely follow-up and corrective action for loans showing signs of deterioration in quality. The Company also has a systematic process to evaluate individual loans and pools of loans within the loan portfolio. The Company maintains a loan grading system whereby each loan is assigned a grade between 1 and 8, with 1 representing the highest quality credit, 7 representing a nonaccrual loan where collection or liquidation in full is highly questionable and improbable, and 8 representing a loss that has been or will be charged-off. Grades are assigned based upon the degree of risk associated with repayment of a loan in the normal course of business pursuant to the original terms. Loans that are graded 5 or better are categorized as non-classified credits while loans graded 6 or worse are categorized as classified credits. Loan grade changes are evaluated on a monthly basis. Loans above a certain dollar amount that are adversely graded are reported to the Special Assets Group Manager and the Chief Credit Officer along with current financial information, a collateral analysis and an action plan.

	The loan portfolio showing total non-classified and classified balances by loan class at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 is summarized below:

The Company estimates the ALL in accordance with ASC 310 for purposes of evaluating loan impairment on a loan-by-loan basis and ASC 450 for purposes of collectively evaluating loan impairment by grouping loans with common risk characteristics (i.e. risk classification, past-due status, type of loan, and collateral). The ALL is comprised of the following components:

	·		Specific Reserves – The Company continuously evaluates its reserve for loan losses to maintain an adequate level to absorb loan losses incurred in the loan portfolio. Reserves on loans identified as impaired, including troubled debt restructurings, are based on discounted expected cash flows using the loan's initial effective interest rate, the observable market value of the loan or the fair value of the collateral for certain collateral-dependent loans. The fair value of the collateral is determined in accordance with ASC 820. Loans are considered to be impaired in accordance with the provisions of ASC 310, when it is probable that all amounts due in accordance with the contractual terms will not be collected. Factors contributing to the determination of specific reserves include the financial condition of the borrower, changes in the value of pledged collateral and general economic conditions. Troubled debt restructurings meet the definition of an impaired loan under ASC 310 and therefore, troubled debt restructurings are subject to impairment evaluation on a loan-by-loan basis.
For collateral dependent loans that have been specifically identified as impaired, the Company measures fair value based on third-party appraisals, adjusted for estimated costs to sell the property. Upon impairment, the Company will obtain a new appraisal if one had not been previously obtained in the last 6-12 months. For credits over $2.0 million, the Company engages an additional third-party appraiser to review the appraisal. For credits under $2.0 million, the Company's internal appraisal department reviews the appraisal. All appraisals are reviewed for reasonableness based on recent sales transactions that may have occurred subsequent to or right at the time of the appraisal. Based on this analysis the appraised value may be adjusted downward if there is evidence that the appraised value may not be indicative of fair value. Each appraisal is updated on an annual basis, either through a new appraisal or through the Company's comprehensive internal review process.
Values are reviewed and monitored internally and fair value is re-assessed at least quarterly or more frequently when events or circumstances occur that indicate a change in fair value. It has been the Company's experience that appraisals quickly become outdated due to the volatile real estate environment. As such, fair value based on property appraisals may be adjusted to reflect estimated declines in the fair value of properties since the time the last appraisal was performed.

	·		General Reserves – General reserves are considered part of the allocated portion of the allowance. The Company uses a comprehensive loan grading process for our loan portfolios. Based on this process, a loss factor is assigned to each pool of graded loans. A combination of loss experience and external loss data is used in determining the appropriate loss factor. This estimate represents the probable incurred losses within the portfolio. In evaluating the adequacy of the ALL, management considers historical losses (Migration), as well as other factors including changes in:

	-		Lending policies and procedures
	-		National and local economic and business conditions and developments
	-		Nature and volume of portfolio
	-		Trends of the volume and severity of past-due and classified loans
	-		Trends in the volume of nonaccrual loans, troubled debt restructurings, and other loan modifications
	-		Credit concentrations

Troubled debt restructurings have a direct impact on the allowance to the extent a loss has been recognized in relation to the loan modified. This is consistent with the Company’s consideration of Migration in determining general reserves.

The aforementioned factors enable management to recognize environmental conditions contributing to incurred losses in the portfolio, which have not yet manifested in Migration. Management believes Migration history adequately captures a great percentage of probable incurred losses within the portfolio.

In addition to the allocated reserve for graded loans, a portion of the allowance is determined by segmenting the portfolio into product groupings with similar risk characteristics. Part of the segmentation involves assigning increased reserve factors to those lending activities deemed higher-risk such as leverage-financings, unsecured loans, certain loans lacking personal guarantees, and land acquisition and development loans.

	·		Unallocated Reserves – The unallocated reserve, which is judgmentally determined, is maintained to recognize the imprecision in estimating and measuring loss when evaluating reserves for individual loans or pools of loans. The unallocated reserve consists of a missed grade component that is intended to capture the inherent risk that certain loans may be assigned an incorrect loan grade.

In assessing the reasonableness of management's assumptions, consideration is given to select peer ratios, industry standards and directional consistency of the ALL. Ratio analysis highlights divergent trends in the relationship of the ALL to nonaccrual loans, to total loans and to historical charge-offs. Although these comparisons can be helpful as a supplement to assess reasonableness of management assumptions, they are not, by themselves, sufficient basis for determining the adequacy of the ALL. While management utilizes its best judgment and information available, the ultimate adequacy of the allowance is dependent upon a variety of factors beyond the Company's control, including the performance of our loan portfolio, the economy, changes in interest rates and the view of the regulatory authorities toward loan classifications.

Troubled debt restructurings during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 resulted primarily from the extension of repayment terms and interest rate reductions. The Company had no charge-offs in conjunction with loans restructured during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013.

Troubled loans restructured within the past 12 months with a payment default during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 were immaterial. There were no such loans for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 there were $2.8 million and $1.9 million in outstanding commitments on restructured loans, respectively.

	6. Borrowed Funds

	During the second quarter of 2014, the Company entered into a revolving Line of Credit (LOC) agreement with an aggregate principal sum of up to $20.0 million bearing interest at 1-month LIBOR plus 225 basis points (2.25%). The Company pays a quarterly commitment fee of 0.25% per annum on the unused portion of the line of credit. The line matures on May 15, 2015 at which time any outstanding amounts are due and payable. Proceeds from the line will be used for general corporate purposes and backup liquidity. Although the credit facility is unsecured, the Company has agreed not to sell, pledge or transfer any part of its right, title or interest in CoBiz Bank. At September 30, 2014, there was no amount outstanding on the revolving line.

	The Company has a LOC with the FHLB. At September 30, 2014, $166.0 million was outstanding on the FHLB LOC. No amount was outstanding at December 31, 2013. The average FHLB LOC balance was $109.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and $33.2 million during 2013. The LOC was collateralized by qualifying loans. At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the FHLB LOC was collateralized by loans of $844.2 million and $800.4 million, respectively. In addition, the Company had federal funds purchased with correspondent banks of $19.8 million at September 30, 2014.

	ASC 815 contains the authoritative guidance on accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and hedging activities. As required by ASC 815, the Company records all derivatives on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value.

	The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity and credit risk, primarily by managing the amount, sources, and duration of its assets and liabilities and the use of derivative financial instruments. Specifically, the Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of future known and unknown cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates. The Company's derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences in the amount, timing, and duration of the Company's known or expected cash receipts and its known or expected cash payments principally related to certain variable-rate loan assets and variable-rate borrowings. The Company also enters into derivative financial instruments to protect against adverse changes in fair value on fixed-rate loans.

	The Company's objective in using derivatives is to minimize the impact of interest rate fluctuations on the Company's interest expense. To accomplish this objective, the Company uses interest-rate swaps as part of its cash flow hedging strategy. The Company also offers an interest-rate hedge program that includes derivative products such as swaps, caps, floors and collars to assist its customers in managing their interest-rate risk profile. In order to eliminate the interest-rate risk associated with offering these products, the Company enters into derivative contracts with third parties to offset the customer contracts. These customer accommodation interest rate swap contracts are not designated as hedging instruments.

	During the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company expanded its product offering by adding international banking products, which exposes the Company to foreign exchange risk. The Company utilizes foreign exchange forward contracts to manage the risk associated with fluctuation in foreign exchange rates.

	The Company has agreements with its derivative counterparties that contain a provision where if the Company defaults on any of its indebtedness, including default where repayment of the indebtedness has not been accelerated by the lender, then the Company could also be declared in default on its derivative obligations. Also, the Company has agreements with certain of its derivative counterparties that contain a provision where if the Bank fails to maintain its status as a well- or adequately-capitalized institution, then the counterparty could terminate the derivative positions and the Company would be required to settle its obligations under the agreements.

	At September 30, 2014, the fair value of derivatives in a net liability position, including accrued interest but excluding any adjustment for nonperformance risk, related to these agreements was $8.3 million. The Company has minimum collateral posting thresholds with certain of its derivative counterparties and has posted collateral of $15.0 million against its obligations under these agreements. At September 30, 2014, the Company was not in default with any of its debt or capitalization covenants.


	The table below presents the fair value of the Company’s derivative financial instruments as well as the classification within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

	Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk — For hedges of the Company's variable-rate loan assets, interest-rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of fixed-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making variable-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. At September 30, 2014, the Company had five interest rate swaps with a notional value of $75.0 million that effectively fixed the interest rate on a portion of its 1-Month LIBOR loan portfolio. The weighted average fixed rate received under these swaps was 1.41%. The swaps have contractual maturities ranging from three to five years.

	For hedges of the Company's variable-rate borrowings, interest-rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments. The Company has executed a series of interest-rate swap transactions in order to fix the effective interest rate for payments due on its junior subordinated debentures with the objective of reducing the Company's exposure to adverse changes in cash flows relating to payments on its LIBOR-based floating rate debt. The swaps have contractual lives ranging between five and 14 years. Select critical terms of the cash flow hedges are as follows:


	(in thousands)			Notional	Fixed rate	Termination date
	Hedged item - Junior subordinated debentures issued by:
	CoBiz Statutory Trust I		$	20,000	6.04%	17-Mar-15
	CoBiz Capital Trust II		$	30,000	5.99%	23-Apr-20
CoBiz Capital Trust III		$	20,000	5.02%	30-Mar-24

Based on the Company's ongoing assessments (including at inception of the hedging relationship), it is probable that there will be sufficient variable interest payments through the maturity date of the swaps. The Company also monitors the risk of counterparty default on an ongoing basis. The Company uses the "Hypothetical Derivative" method described in ASC 815 for both prospective and retrospective assessments of hedge effectiveness on a quarterly basis. The Company also uses this methodology to measure hedge ineffectiveness each period. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges is recorded in AOCI and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivatives is recognized directly in earnings. The Company’s derivatives did not have any hedge ineffectiveness recognized in earnings during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013.

Amounts reported in AOCI related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest income/expense as interest payments are received/made on the Company’s variable-rate assets/liabilities. During the next 12 months, the Company estimates that $1.8 million will be reclassified as an increase to interest expense and $0.9 million as an increase to interest income.

The following table reports the beginning and ending balance of AOCI relating to derivatives designated as hedging transactions and the associated periodic change, net of reclassifications to earnings and the effect of income taxes for the periods shown.

Fair Value Hedges of Fixed-Rate Assets — The Company is exposed to changes in the fair value of certain of its fixed-rate assets due to changes in benchmark interest rates based on LIBOR. The Company uses interest rate swaps to manage its exposure to changes in fair value on certain fixed-rate loans. Interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges involve the receipt of variable rate payments from a counterparty in exchange for the Company's fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without the exchange of the underlying notional amount. Certain interest rate swaps met the criteria to qualify for the shortcut method of accounting. Under the shortcut method of accounting no ineffectiveness is assumed. For interest rate swaps not accounted for under the shortcut method, the Company performs ongoing retrospective and prospective effectiveness assessments (including at inception) using a regression analysis to compare periodic changes in fair value of the swaps to periodic changes in fair value of the fixed-rate loans attributable to changes in the benchmark interest rate. At September 30, 2014, the Company had five interest rate swaps with a notional amount of $32.4 million used to hedge the change in the fair value of five commercial loans. For derivatives that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges, the gain or loss on the derivative as well as the gain or loss on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in earnings. The net amount recognized in noninterest expense during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, representing hedge ineffectiveness, was immaterial.

Non-designated Hedges — Derivatives not designated as hedges are not speculative and result from a service the Company provides to its customers. The Company executes interest-rate swaps with commercial banking customers to facilitate their respective risk management strategies. Those interest-rate swaps are simultaneously hedged by offsetting interest-rate swaps that the Company executes with a third party, such that the Company minimizes its net risk exposure resulting from such transactions. As the interest-rate swaps associated with this program do not meet the strict hedge accounting requirements, changes in the fair value of both the customer swaps and the offsetting swaps are recognized directly in earnings. At September 30, 2014, the Company had 112 interest-rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $278.3 million related to this program. Gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of these swaps are included in “Other income” in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and were immaterial for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013.

During the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company expanded its product offerings to include international banking products, thereby creating exchange-rate risk exposure. At September 30, 2014, the Company's foreign currency holdings included British pounds, Euros, Mexican pesos, Australian, and Canadian dollars. In order to economically reduce the risk associated with the fluctuation of the aforementioned foreign exchange rates, the Company utilizes short-term foreign exchange forward contracts to lock in exchange rates so the gain or loss on the forward contracts approximately offsets the transaction gain or loss. These contracts are not designated as hedging instruments. Ineffectiveness in the economic hedging relationship may occur as the foreign currency holdings are revalued based upon changes in the currency's spot rate, while the forward contracts are revalued using the currency's forward rates. Forward contracts in gain positions are recorded at fair value in 'other' assets, while contracts in loss positions are recorded in 'other' liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Net changes in the fair value of the forward contracts are recognized through earnings, disclosed as 'other' noninterest income in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. At September 30, 2014, the Company had entered into forward contracts with a notional amount of $5.8 million maturing within one month. Net gains recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 on foreign exchange forward contracts were immaterial.

	9. Segments

	Due to recent organizational changes and the manner in which the chief operating decision maker reviews the Company, in the first quarter of 2014, the Company re-evaluated the identification of its reportable segments under ASC Topic 280 - Segment Reporting (ASC 280). As a result of this evaluation, the Company aggregated the segments previously reported as Investment Banking, Wealth Management and Insurance into a new segment titled Fee-Based Lines. The changes to our reporting segments are consistent with the way the Chief Executive Officer, who is the chief operating decision maker, evaluates the performance of operations, develops strategy and allocates capital resources. Additionally, none of the segments previously reported (Investment Banking, Wealth Management and Insurance) meet the quantitative thresholds under ASC 280 for separate reporting. No changes were made to Commercial Banking or Corporate Support and Other. All prior period disclosures have been adjusted conform to the new presentation.

	The financial information for the Commercial Banking and Fee-Based Lines segments reflect activities which is specifically identifiable or which is allocated based on an internal allocation method. The Corporate Support and Other segment includes activities that are not directly attributable to the other reportable segments including centralized bank operations and the activities of the Parent. The following tables report the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 by segment.

Fair Value Measurements [Abstract]	'
Fair Value Measurements	'
	10. Fair Value Measurements

	ASC 820 emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement. Therefore, a fair value measurement should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs that are classified within Levels 1 and 2 of the hierarchy) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions (unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy).

		·		Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.
		·		Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs may include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, as well as inputs that are observable for the asset or liability (other than quoted prices), such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.
		·		Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, which is typically based on an entity’s own assumptions, as there is little, if any, related market activity.

	In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. The Company evaluates fair value measurement inputs on an ongoing basis in order to determine if there is a change of sufficient significance to warrant a transfer between levels. For example, changes in market activity or the addition of new unobservable inputs could, in the Company’s judgment, cause a transfer to either a higher or lower level.

	A description of the valuation methodologies used for financial instruments measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy, is set forth below.

	Available for sale securities – At September 30, 2014, the Company holds, as part of its investment portfolio, available for sale securities reported at fair value consisting of MBS, municipal securities, corporate debt securities and TPS. The fair value of the majority of MBS and municipal securities are determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including matrix pricing and broker-quote based applications. Inputs include benchmark yields, reported trades, issuer spreads, prepayment speeds and other relevant items. As a result, the Company has determined that these valuations fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company also holds TPS that are recorded at fair value based on unadjusted quoted market prices for identical securities in an active market. The majority of the TPS are actively traded in the market and as a result, the Company has determined that the valuation of these securities falls within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company also holds certain TPS and corporate debt securities for which unadjusted market prices are not available or the markets are not active and are therefore classified as Level 2. For these securities, broker-dealer quotes, valuations based on similar but not identical securities or the most recent market trade (which may not be current), are used. Prior to 2014, the Company had classified three TPS as Level 3 due to their illiquid nature and lack of trading activity. In the first quarter of 2014, one single-issuer TPS of $0.7 million was transferred from Level 2 to Level 3 based on a lack of trading activity. Unrealized gains transferred during the period were immaterial and the total net unrealized gain recognized in AOCI at September 30, 2014, on TPS Level 3 securities were $0.1 million.

	Derivative financial instruments – The Company uses interest-rate swaps as part of its cash flow strategy to manage its interest-rate risk. The valuation of these instruments is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques as discussed further below. The fair values of interest-rate swaps are determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash receipts (or payments) and the discounted expected variable cash payments (or receipts). The variable cash payments (or receipts) are based on an expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves.

	Pursuant to guidance in ASC 820, credit valuation adjustments are incorporated into the valuation to appropriately reflect both the Company’s own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of its derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, the Company has considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings and thresholds.

	The Company uses Level 2 and Level 3 inputs to determine the valuation of its derivatives portfolio. The valuation of derivative instruments is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs (Level 2 inputs), including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. The estimates of fair value are made using a standardized methodology that nets the discounted expected future cash receipts and cash payments (based on observable market inputs). Level 3 inputs include the credit valuation adjustments which use estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by the Company and its counterparties. At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company assessed the impact of the Level 3 inputs on the overall derivative valuations in terms of the significance of the credit valuation adjustments in basis points and as a percentage of the overall derivative portfolio valuation and the overall notional value. The Company’s assessment determined that credit valuation adjustments were not significant to the overall valuation of the portfolio. In addition, the significance of the credit value adjustments and overall derivative portfolio to the Company’s financial statements was considered. As a result of the insignificance of the credit value adjustments to the derivative portfolio valuations and the Company’s financial statements, the Company classified the derivative valuations in their entirety in Level 2.

	The Company uses foreign exchange forward contracts to mitigate exchange-rate risk arising from the Company’s foreign currency holdings to support its international banking product offering. Fair value measurements of these assets or liabilities are priced based on spot and forward foreign currency rates and the credit worthiness of the contract counterparty. These contracts are classified in Level 2.

	Impaired loans – Certain collateral-dependent impaired loans are reported at the fair value of the underlying collateral. Impairment is measured based on the fair value of the collateral, which is typically derived from appraisals that take into consideration prices in observed transactions involving similar assets and similar locations. Each appraisal is updated on an annual basis, either through a new appraisal or through the Company’s comprehensive internal review process. Appraised values are reviewed and monitored internally and fair value is assessed at least quarterly or more frequently when circumstances occur that indicate a change in fair value has occurred. The Company classified impaired loans as Level 3.


	The following tables present the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, aggregated by the level in the fair value hierarchy within which those measurements fall.

Fair value is used on a nonrecurring basis to evaluate certain financial assets and financial liabilities in specific circumstances. The following table presents the Company’s assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis at the dates specified in the following table, aggregated by the level in the fair value hierarchy within which those measurements fall.



				Fair value measurements using:

At December 31, 2013	$	22,187		$	-		$	-		$	22,187

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company recorded a $1.2 million provision and a $0.1 million provision for loan loss, respectively on collateral-dependent impaired loans. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company recorded net recoveries of $0.2 million and net charge-offs of $0.1 million, respectively, on impaired loans.

Fair value is also used on a nonrecurring basis for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities such as foreclosed assets, other real estate owned, intangible assets, nonfinancial assets and liabilities evaluated in a goodwill impairment analysis and other nonfinancial assets measured at fair value for purposes of assessing impairment. A description of the valuation methodologies used for nonfinancial assets measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy, is set forth below.

Other real estate owned (OREO) – OREO represents real property taken by the Company either through foreclosure or through a deed in lieu thereof from the borrower. The fair value of OREO is based on property appraisals adjusted at management’s discretion to reflect a further decline in the fair value of properties since the time the appraisal analysis was performed. It has been the Company’s experience that appraisals quickly become outdated due to the volatile real estate environment. Therefore, the inputs used to determine the fair value of OREO fall within Level 3. The Company may include within OREO other repossessed assets received as partial satisfaction of a loan. Other repossessed assets are not material and do not typically have readily determinable market values and are considered Level 3 inputs.

The following tables present the Company’s nonfinancial assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, aggregated by the level in the fair value hierarchy within which those measurements fall.


				Fair value measurements using:
				Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets			Significant other observable inputs			Significant unobservable inputs			Year-to-date

At December 31, 2013	$	5,371		$	-		$	-		$	5,371		$	-708

In accordance with ASC 310, the fair value of OREO recorded as an asset is reduced by estimated selling costs. The following table is a reconciliation of the fair value measurement of OREO disclosed pursuant to ASC 820 to the amount recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets:


	At			At

OREO recorded at fair value	$	3,954		$	5,371
Estimated selling costs		-204			-274
OREO	$	3,750		$	5,097


Valuation adjustments on OREO and additional gains or losses at the time OREO is sold are recognized in current earnings under the caption “Net gain on securities, other assets and other real estate owned.” Below is a summary of OREO transactions during the nine months ended September 30, 2014:


(in thousands)				OREO

Total OREO	$	3,954




	-1		The fair value of OREO and collateral-dependent impaired loans is based on third-party property appraisals. The majority of the appraisals utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including a market approach, where prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable properties are used to determine fair value. Appraisals may also utilize an income approach, such as the discounted cash flow method, to estimate future income and profits or cash flows. Appraisals may include an ‘as is’ sales comparison approach and an ‘upon completion’ valuation approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by third-party appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data. Adjustments also result from the consideration of relevant economic and demographic factors with the potential to affect property values. Also, prospective values are based on the market conditions which exist at the date of inspection combined with informed forecasts based on current trends in supply and demand for the property types under appraisal.

The following table includes the estimated fair value of the Company’s financial instruments. The methodologies for estimating the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring and nonrecurring basis are discussed above. The methodologies for estimating the fair value for other financial assets and financial liabilities are discussed below. The estimated fair value amounts have been determined by the Company using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required to interpret market data in order to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could realize in a current market exchange. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

The fair value estimation methodologies utilized by the Company for financial instruments and the classification level within the fair value hierarchy that those instruments fall are summarized as follows:

Cash and cash equivalents — The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents is a reasonable estimate of fair value which is classified as Level 2.

Other investments — Included in this category are the Company’s investment in the FHLB and other equity method investments. Due to restrictions on transferability, it is not practical to estimate fair value on the FHLB investment which is reported at carrying value. The fair value of other equity method investments approximates fair value and is classified as Level 2.

Loans — The fair value of loans is estimated by discounting future contractual cash flows using estimated market rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities. In computing the estimate of fair value for all loans, the estimated cash flows and/or carrying value have been reduced by specific and general reserves for loan losses. The fair value of loans is classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy.

Accrued interest receivable/payable — The fair value of accrued interest receivable/payable approximates the carrying amount due to the short-term nature of these amounts and is classified in the same hierarchy level as the underlying assets/liabilities.

Deposits — The fair value of certificates of deposit is estimated by discounting the expected life using an index of the U.S Treasury curve. Non-maturity deposits are reflected at their carrying value for purposes of estimating fair value. The fair value of all deposits is classified as Level 2.

Securities sold under agreements to repurchase — Estimated fair value is based on discounting cash flows and is classified as Level 2.

Short-term borrowings — The estimated fair value of short-term borrowings approximates their carrying value, due to their short-term nature and is classified as Level 2.

Junior subordinated debentures — The estimated fair value of junior subordinated debentures approximates their carrying value, due to the variable interest rate paid on the debentures and is classified as Level 2.

Commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit — The Company’s off-balance sheet commitments are funded at current market rates at the date they are drawn upon. It is management’s opinion that the fair value of these commitments would approximate their carrying value, if drawn upon, and are classified as Level 3.

The fair value estimates presented herein are based on pertinent information available to management at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. Although management is not aware of any factors that would significantly affect the estimated fair value amounts, such amounts have not been comprehensively revalued for purposes of these financial statements since that date and, therefore, current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein.

Nature of Operations and Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]	'
Basis Of Presentation	'
	Basis of Presentation —These financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with, and are qualified in their entirety by, the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

	The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normally recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2014.

	The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include entities in which the Parent has a controlling financial interest. These entities include; the Bank; CoBiz Insurance, Inc.; CoBiz GMB, Inc.; and CoBiz IM. Intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. The Company determines whether it has a controlling financial interest in an entity by first evaluating whether the entity is a voting interest entity or a variable interest entity (VIE).

	The voting interest model is used when the equity investment is sufficient to absorb the expected losses and the equity investment has all of the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. Under the voting interest model, the party with the controlling voting interest consolidates the legal entity. The VIE model is used when any of the following conditions exist: the equity investment at risk is not sufficient to finance the entity’s activities without additional subordinated financial support; the holders of the equity investment do not have a controlling voting interest; or the holders of the equity investment are not obligated to absorb the expected losses or residual returns of the legal entity. An enterprise is considered to have a controlling financial interest of a VIE if it has both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses, or receive benefits, that are significant to the VIE. An enterprise that has a controlling financial interest is considered the primary beneficiary and must consolidate the VIE. The Company was not the primary beneficiary of a VIE at September 30, 2014 or December 31, 2013.

	Certain reclassifications have been made to prior years’ Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes to conform to current year presentation including the combination of our operating segments.

Cash And Cash Equivalents	'

	Cash and Cash Equivalents — The Company considers all liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents include amounts that the Company is required to maintain at the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City to meet certain regulatory reserve balance requirements. The following table shows supplemental disclosures of certain cash and noncash items:


		Nine months ended

	Loans transferred to OREO		2,659		211
	Financed sales of OREO		-		1,000



Investments	'
	Investments — The Company classifies its investment securities as held to maturity, available for sale or trading, according to management’s intent.

	Available for sale securities consist of residential mortgage-backed securities (MBS), bonds, notes and debentures (including corporate debt and trust preferred securities (TPS)) not classified as held to maturity securities and are reported at fair value as determined by quoted market prices. Unrealized holding gains and losses, net of tax, are reported as a net amount in AOCI until realized.

	Investment securities held to maturity consist of MBS, bonds, notes and debentures for which the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity and are reported at cost, adjusted for amortization or accretion of premiums and discounts.

	Premiums and discounts, adjusted for prepayments as applicable, are recognized in interest income. Other than temporary declines in the fair value of individual investment securities held to maturity and available for sale are charged against earnings. Gains and losses on disposal of investment securities are determined using the specific‑identification method.

	Other-than-temporary-impairment (OTTI) on debt securities is separated between the amount that is credit related (credit loss component) and the amount due to all other factors. The credit loss component is recognized in earnings and is the difference between a security’s amortized cost basis and the discounted present value of expected future cash flows. The amount due to all other factors is recognized in other comprehensive income (OCI).

Bank Stocks	'
	Bank Stocks — Federal Home Loan Bank of Topeka (FHLB), Federal Reserve Bank and other correspondent bank stocks are accounted for under the cost method.

Loans Held For Investment	'
	Loans held for investment— Loans that the Company has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or pay-off are reported at their outstanding principal balance adjusted for any charge-offs, the allowance for loan losses, deferred fees and costs on originated loans, and unamortized premiums or discounts on purchased loans. Interest is accrued and credited to income daily based on the principal balance outstanding. The accrual of interest income is generally discontinued when a loan becomes 90 days past due as to principal and interest. When a loan is designated as nonaccrual, the current period’s accrued interest receivable is charged against current earnings while any portions relating to prior periods are charged against the allowance for loan losses. Interest payments received on nonaccrual loans are generally applied to the principal balance of the loan. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured and there has been demonstrated performance in accordance with contractual terms. The Company may elect to continue the accrual of interest when the loan is in the process of collection and the realizable value of collateral is sufficient to cover the principal balance and accrued interest.

Impaired Loans	'

	Impaired loans — Impaired loans, with the exception of groups of smaller-balance homogenous loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment, are defined as loans for which, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays of less than 90 days and monthly payment shortfalls of less than 10% of the contractual payment on a consumer loan generally are not classified as impaired if the Company ultimately expects to recover its full investment. The Company determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis by the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. Loans that are deemed to be impaired are evaluated in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 310-10-35, Receivables – Subsequent Measurement (ASC 310) and ASC Topic 450-20, Loss Contingencies (ASC 450).

	Included in impaired loans are troubled debt restructurings. A troubled debt restructuring is a formal restructure of a loan where the Company, for economic or legal reasons related to the borrower’s financial difficulties, grants a concession to the borrower. The concessions may be granted in various forms, including but not limited to reduction in the stated interest rate, reduction in the loan balance or accrued interest, or extension of the maturity date. Troubled debt restructurings are evaluated in accordance with ASC Topic 310-10-40, Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors. Interest payments on impaired loans are typically applied to principal unless collectability of principal is reasonably assured. Loans that have been modified in a formal restructuring are typically returned to accrual status when there has been a sustained period of performance (generally six months) under the modified terms, the borrower has shown the ability and willingness to repay and the Company expects to collect all amounts due under the modified terms.

Loan Origination Fees And Costs	'
	Loan Origination Fees and Costs — Loan fees and certain costs of originating loans are deferred and the net amount is amortized over the contractual life of the related loans in accordance with ASC Topic 310-20, Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs.

Allowance For Loan Losses	'
	Allowance for Loan Losses — The allowance for loan losses (ALL) is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged against earnings. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectability of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

	The ALL is evaluated on a regular basis by management and is based upon management’s periodic review of the collectability of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral, and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as new information becomes available.

Allowance For Credit Losses	'
	Allowance for Credit Losses — The allowance for credit losses is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for credit losses charged to earnings. The allowance for credit losses represents management’s recognition of a separate reserve for off-balance sheet loan commitments and letters of credit. While the allowance for loan losses is recorded as a contra-asset to the loan portfolio on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, the allowance for credit losses is recorded under the caption “Accrued interest and other liabilities”. Although the allowances are presented separately on the balance sheets, any losses incurred from credit losses would be reported as a charge-off in the allowance for loan losses, as any loss would be recorded after the off-balance sheet commitment had been funded.

Bank-Owned Life Insurance	'
	Bank-Owned Life Insurance (BOLI) — The Bank invested in BOLI policies to fund certain future employee benefit costs and are recorded at net realizable value. Changes in the amount that could be realized and amounts realized from policy claims are recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income as “Other income”.

Derivative Instruments	'
	Derivative Instruments — Derivative financial instruments are accounted for at fair value. The Company utilizes interest rate swaps to hedge a portion of its exposure to interest rate changes. These instruments are accounted for as cash flow hedges, as defined by ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging (ASC 815). The net cash flows from these hedges are classified in operating activities within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows with the hedged items. The Company also uses interest rate swaps to hedge against adverse changes in fair value on fixed-rate loans. These instruments are accounted for as fair value hedges in accordance with ASC 815. The Company also has a derivative program that offers interest-rate caps, floors, swaps and collars to customers of the Bank. The Company also uses foreign currency forward contracts (FX forwards) giving it the right to sell underlying currencies at specified future dates and predetermined prices in order to mitigate foreign exchange risk associated with long positions.

		-1		The fair value of OREO and collateral-dependent impaired loans is based on third-party property appraisals. The majority of the appraisals utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including a market approach, where prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable properties are used to determine fair value. Appraisals may also utilize an income approach, such as the discounted cash flow method, to estimate future income and profits or cash flows. Appraisals may include an ‘as is’ sales comparison approach and an ‘upon completion’ valuation approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by third-party appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data. Adjustments also result from the consideration of relevant economic and demographic factors with the potential to affect property values. Also, prospective values are based on the market conditions which exist at the date of inspection combined with informed forecasts based on current trends in supply and demand for the property types under appraisal.

The fair value of OREO and collateral-dependent impaired loans is based on third-party property appraisals. The majority of the appraisals utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including a market approach, where prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable properties are used to determine fair value.B Appraisals may also utilize an income approach, such as the discounted cash flow method, to estimate future income and profits or cash flows.B Appraisals may include an bas isb sales comparison approach and an bupon completionb valuation approach.B Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by third-party appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data.B Adjustments also result from the consideration of relevant economic and demographic factors with the potential to affect property values.B Also, prospective values are based on the market conditions which exist at the date of inspection combined with informed forecasts based on current trends in supply and demand for the property types under appraisal.
