Note 1 - Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Pacific Premier Bancorp, Inc. (the “Corporation”) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Pacific Premier Bank (the “Bank”) (collectively, the “Company”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of June 30, 2007, and the results of its operations, changes in stockholders’ equity, comprehensive income and cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or the full year ending December 31, 2007.
Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.
Certain amounts reflected in the 2006 consolidated financial statements have been reclassified where practicable, to conform to the presentation for 2007. These classifications are of a normal recurring nature.
The following table reflects the reclassification on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet of restricted shares issued from other assets to additional paid-in capital.
| | With reclassifications | | | Originally presented | | | | |
| | For Quarter Ended | | | For Quarter Ended | | | Net | |

The following table reflects the reclassification on the statement of Company’s cash flows of proceeds from issuance of restricted stock from net cash used in operating activities to net cash used in financing activities and share-based compensation expense from increase in accrued interest and other assets to share-based compensation expense. It also reflects the reclassification of $5.7 million from proceeds from sale and principal payments on loans held for investment to purchase, origination and advances of loans held for investment. | | With reclassifications | | | Originally presented | | | | |

Note 2 – Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (or “FIN 48”) which clarifies the accounting and disclosure for uncertainty in tax positions as defined. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. This Interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. The evaluation of a tax position in accordance with FIN 48 is a two-step process. The first step is recognition: The enterprise determines whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. In evaluating whether a tax position has met the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the enterprise should presume that the position will be examined by the appropriate taxing authority that would have full knowledge of all relevant information. The second step is measurement: A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is measured to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements. The tax position is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Tax positions that previously failed to meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold should be recognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which that threshold is met. Previously recognized tax positions that no longer meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold should be derecognized in the first subsequent financial reporting period in which that threshold is no longer met. We adopted FIN 48 effective January 1, 2007, and have determined that as of June 30, 2007, any uncertain tax positions that might exist are immaterial.
In September 2006, FASB’s Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) reached a final consensus on the subject titled “Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Endorsement Split-Dollar Arrangements.” The EITF has concluded that the recognition of a liability is required for the postretirement benefits provided through an endorsement split-dollar life insurance arrangement. Pursuant to the final consensus, if an employer has promised to pay a death benefit directly from the company to a participant (or designated beneficiary), then a liability for the present value of the death benefit must be accrued over the participant’s required service period. However, if the employer has agreed to maintain a split-dollar arrangement and share some portion of the death benefits of the underlying insurance policy, then the postretirement cost of insurance, rather than the death benefit, should be accrued. The new guidance will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007 and the adoption is not expected to have a material impact on the Company.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, a standard that provides enhanced guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. The standard also responds to investors’ requests for expanded information about the extent to which companies measure assets and liabilities at fair value, the information used to measure fair value, and the effect of fair value measurements on earnings. The standard applies whenever other standards require (or permit) assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. Under the standard, fair value refers to the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the market in which the reporting entity transacts. The standard clarifies that fair value should be based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. In support of this principle, the standard establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop those assumptions. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable data, for example, the reporting entity’s own data. Under the standard, fair value measurements would be separately disclosed by level within the fair value hierarchy. It is required that we adopt SFAS No. 157 on January 1, 2008. Adoption of SFAS 157 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (“FAS 159”). FAS 159 permits the measurement of many financial instruments and certain other balance sheet items at fair value, in order to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. Upon adoption, balance sheet items designated for fair value accounting are marked to market through equity, and the fair value option may also be selectively applied to items acquired after the adoption date. Unrealized gains and losses on all items so designated are reported in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The fair value option may be applied instrument by instrument (with a few exceptions), and is applied only to entire instruments and not to portions thereof. FAS 159 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We do not anticipate that fair value accounting will be applied to any balance sheet item upon adoption of FAS 159 on January 1, 2008, in which case there would be no impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. However, we cannot say with certainty that such application will not occur.
Note 3 – Regulatory Matters
It is our goal to maintain capital levels within the regulatory “well capitalized” category. The Company’s (on a consolidated basis) and the Bank’s capital amounts and ratios are presented in the following tables:

The amounts for December 31, 2006 are calculated using total actual assets per Office of Thrift Supervision guidelines. As of June 30, 2007, the amounts are calculated using total average assets per Federal Reserve Board guidelines.
Note 4 – Borrowings
At June 30, 2007, total borrowings of the Company amounted to $281.3 million. The borrowings were comprised of Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) term borrowings and overnight advances of $215.0 million and $55.4 million, respectively, $10.3 million Trust Preferred at 8.11%, and $500,000 at a rate of 6.00% per annum against the Bank’s $18.6 million credit facility, secured by mutual funds pledged to Pershing LLC. The Bank’s $270.4 million in FHLB advances had a weighted average interest rate of 5.12% and the term advances had a weighted average maturity of 1.57 years as of June 30, 2007. As of such date, advances from the FHLB were collateralized by pledges of certain real estate loans with an aggregate principal balance of $462.2 million. As of June 30, 2007, the Bank was able to borrow up to 45% of its total assets as of March 31, 2007 under the line, which amounted to $327.2 million, an increase of $400,000 from the quarter ended March 31, 2007. FHLB advances consisted of the following as of June 30, 2007:
| | | | | | | | Weighted | |
| | | | | Percent | | | Average Annual | |
FHLB Advances Maturing in: | | Amount | | | of Total | | | Interest Rate | |

Total FHLB advances | | $ | 270,400 | | | | 100.00 | % | | | 5.12 | % |
Note 5 – Subordinated Debentures
In March 2004, the Corporation issued $10.3 million of Floating Rate Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debentures (the “Subordinated Debentures”) to PPBI Trust I, which funded the payment of $10.0 million of Floating Rate Trust Preferred Securities issued by PPBI Trust I in March 2004. The net proceeds from the offering of Trust Preferred Securities were contributed as capital to the Bank to support further growth. Interest is payable quarterly on the Subordinated Debentures at three-month LIBOR plus 2.75% per annum, for an effective rate of 8.11% per annum as of June 30, 2007.
Under FIN 46R, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an interpretation of ARB No. 51,” the Corporation is not allowed to consolidate PPBI Trust I into the Company’s financial statements. The resulting effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements is to report the Subordinated Debentures as a component of liabilities. Prior to the issuance of FIN 46R, bank holding companies typically consolidated these entities and reported the Trust Preferred Securities as a component of liabilities.
Note 6 – Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders including common stock equivalents, such as outstanding stock options and warrants by the weighted average number of common shares and common stock equivalents outstanding for the period. Stock options totaling 173,475 and 93,897 shares for June 30, 2007 and June 30, 2006, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share due to their exercise price exceeding the average market price.
The table below set forth the Company’s unaudited earnings per share calculations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006.

Note 7 – Valuation Allowance for Deferred Income Taxes
During 2006, the Company reversed all remaining valuation allowance, as the deferred tax assets were determined, more likely than not, to be realized based on the Company’s quarterly analysis of its valuation allowance for deferred taxes. The Company benefited from the reduction in its valuation allowance for deferred taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 of $1.9 million and $2.4 million. The Company’s valuation allowance for deferred taxes was zero at June 30, 2007.

GENERAL
The following presents management’s discussion and analysis of the consolidated financial condition and operating results of the Company for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006. The discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Management Discussion and Analysis included in the 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K, plus the unaudited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report. The results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the year ending December 31, 2007.
The Company, a Delaware corporation organized in 1997, is a bank holding company that owns 100% of the capital stock of the Bank, the Company’s principal operating subsidiary. The primary business of the Company is community banking.
The Bank was founded in 1983 as a state chartered savings and loan, became a federally chartered stock savings bank in 1991 and on March 30, 2007, converted to a California state chartered commercial bank. The Bank is a member of the FHLB of San Francisco, which is a member bank of the Federal Home Loan Bank System, and the Federal Reserve System. The Bank’s deposit accounts are insured up to the $100,000 maximum amount, except for retirement accounts which are insured up to the $250,000 maximum currently allowable under federal laws by the Deposit Insurance Fund, which is an insurance fund administered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). The Bank is subject to examination and regulation by the California Department of Financial Institutions (“DFI”), the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (“FRB”), and by the FDIC. Additionally, the Company is subject to regulation by the FRB.
The Company is a financial services organization committed to serving consumers and small businesses in Southern California. The Bank operates six depository branches in Southern California located in the cities of Costa Mesa, Huntington Beach, Los Alamitos, Newport Beach, San Bernardino, and Seal Beach. The Company’s corporate headquarters are located in Costa Mesa, California. The Bank, through its branches and web site at www.PPBI.net on the Internet, offers a broad array of deposit products and services for both commercial and consumer customers including NOW accounts, checking, money market and savings accounts, cash management services, electronic banking, and on-line bill payment services. Additionally, the Bank offers a wide array of loan products, such as commercial business loans, lines of credit, commercial real estate loans, SBA loans, residential home loans, and home equity loans. The Bank funds its lending and investment activities with retail deposits obtained through its branches, advances from the FHLB of San Francisco, lines of credit, and wholesale and brokered certificates of deposits.
The Company’s principal sources of income are the net spread between interest earned on loans and investments and the interest costs associated with deposits and other borrowings used to finance its loan and investment portfolio. Additionally, the Bank generates fee income from loan sales and various products and services offered to both depository and loan customers.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Management has established various accounting policies which govern the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America in the preparation of the Company’s financial statements. The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Certain accounting policies require management to make estimates and assumptions which have a material impact on the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities; management considers these to be critical accounting policies. The estimates and assumptions management uses are based on historical experience and other factors, which management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ significantly from these estimates and assumptions, which could have a material impact on the carrying value of assets and liabilities at balance sheet dates and the Company’s results of operations for future reporting periods.
Management believes that the allowance for loan losses is the critical accounting policy that requires estimates and assumptions in the preparation of the Company’s financial statements that are most susceptible to significant change. For further information, see “Allowances for Loan Losses” discussed later in this document and in our 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Total assets of the Company were $719.5 million as of June 30, 2007, compared to $730.9 million as of December 31, 2006. The $11.4 million, or 1.6%, decrease in total assets is primarily due to decreases in federal funds sold and net loans of $10.0 million and $1.2 million, respectively.

The Company reviewed individual securities classified as available for sale to determine whether a decline in fair value below the amortized cost basis is other-than-temporary. If it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to contractual terms of the debt security not impaired at acquisition, an other-than-temporary impairment shall be considered to have occurred. If an other-than-temporary impairment occurs, the cost basis of the security would have been written down to its fair value as the new cost basis and the write down accounted for as a realized loss. Management has determined that the unrealized losses on these securities are temporary in nature.
Loans
Gross loans outstanding totaled $607.5 million at June 30, 2007 compared to $607.6 million at December 31, 2006. The decrease is primarily due to the Bank selling $108.4 million of multi-family loans and $5.9 million of commercial real estate loans, which generated net gains of $2.1 million. Additionally, gross loans were also impacted by the prepayment of loans totaling $83.9 million, which generated noninterest income of $477,000. Partially offsetting the loan sales and prepayments were new loan originations. The Bank originated $217.3 million of new loans, consisting of $151.9 million of multi-family, $18.1 million of commercial real estate and land, $41.3 million of business loans consisting of $4.0 million of commercial real estate owner-occupied loans, $29.5 million of commercial and industrial loans, and $7.8 million of SBA loans, and $6.0 million of other residential loans. Management has utilized loan sales to manage its liquidity, interest rate risk, loan to deposit ratio, diversification of its loan portfolio, and net balance sheet growth, and expects to continue to do so for the foreseeable future. The Bank’s pipeline of new loans at June 30, 2007 was $173.3 million.

Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses totaled $4.1 million as of June 30, 2007 and $3.5 million as of December 31, 2006. The increase in the allowance for loan losses was primarily due to the transitioning of the Bank’s loan portfolio to include more business loans and less multi-family loans. Commercial real estate owner-occupied loans, commercial and industrial loans and SBA loans increased during the first six months of 2007 by $14.3 million, $15.9 million, and $3.2 million, respectively. Commercial real estate and land loans decreased by $10.5 million, and multi-family loans decreased by $25.3 million since December 31, 2006. The allowance for loan losses as a percent of nonperforming loans was 891.1% and 558.8% as of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. The increase in allowance for loan losses as a percent of nonperforming loans of 332.0% is primarily due to a decrease in total nonperforming loans of $175,000 from December 31, 2006 to June 30, 2007.
The Company’s determination of the level of the allowance for loan losses and, correspondingly, the provision for loan losses, rests upon various judgments and assumptions. The allowance for the one-to-four family residential loan portfolio is calculated based upon a historical delinquency migration analysis. The developed loss factors are assigned to a one-to-four family residential loan based on the loan’s geographic location and credit classification. For the multi-family and commercial real estate loan portfolio, the Bank analyzes and uses the 15 year historical loan loss experience for California’s multi-family and commercial real estate secured loans compiled by the FDIC to determine its loss factors, since the Bank has not experienced any losses or delinquency on its own loans within this loan portfolio. For the commercial and industrial loan portfolio, along with the non-guaranteed portion of the SBA portfolio, the Bank bases the level of allowance on the type of collateral and 15 year historical loan loss experience for commercial business loans compiled by the FDIC. Given the composition of the Company’s loan portfolio, the $4.1 million allowance for loan losses was considered adequate to cover losses inherent in the Company’s loan portfolio at June 30, 2007. However, no assurance can be given that the Company will not, in any particular period, sustain loan losses that exceed the amount reserved, or that subsequent evaluation of the loan portfolio, in light of the prevailing factors, including economic conditions which may adversely affect the Company’s market area or other circumstances, will not require significant increases in the loan loss allowance. In addition, regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Bank’s allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require the Bank to recognize additional provisions to increase the allowance or take charge-offs in anticipation of future losses.

Liabilities and Stockholders’ Equity
Total liabilities of the Company decreased from $672.8 million at December 31, 2006 to $660.8 million at June 30, 2007. The decrease is primarily due to decreases in other borrowings of $45.5 million which were partially offset by an increase in total deposits of $33.2 million.
The Company had $271.0 million in FHLB advances and other borrowings as of June 30, 2007, compared to $316.5 million in such borrowings at December 31, 2006. Advances from the FHLB are collateralized by pledges of certain real estate loans with an aggregate principal balance of $462.2million at June 30, 2007. The Bank may borrow up to 45% of its assets under the FHLB line. As of June 30, 2007, the maximum the Bank may borrow through FHLB was $327.2 million, based on the Bank’s assets as of March 31, 2007. The total cost of the Company’s borrowings for the sixmonth period ending June 30, 2007 was 5.13%, an increase of 76 basis points compared to the same period in 2006.
The Corporation had $10.3 million of subordinated debentures as of June 30, 2007 which were used to fund the issuance of trust preferred securities in 2004. The total cost of the subordinated debentures for the six months ending June 30, 2007 was 7.93%, compared to 7.39% for the same period in 2006.
Deposits increased by $33.2 million to $372.6 million at June 30, 2007, compared to $339.5 million of deposits at December 31, 2006. The increase in deposits is comprised of increases of $1.7 million in transaction account, $28.3 million in retail certificates of deposit, and $3.3 million in brokered certificate of deposits. The cost of deposits as of June 30, 2007 was 4.21%, an increase of 16 basis points since December 31, 2006.
During the six months ended June 30, 2007, the cost of funds was 4.65%, an increase of 73 basis points compared to the same period in 2006.
Total stockholders’ equity increased$706,000 to $58.7 million at June 30, 2007, compared to $58.0 million at December 31, 2006, primarily due to net income of $2.1 million for the period, which was partially offset by the repurchase and retirement of 100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Highlights for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006:
The Company recorded second quarter net income of $1.2 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, compared to net income of $2.9 million, or $0.43 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2006, a decrease of 58.8% in earnings per diluted share. During the second quarter of 2006, the Company reversed the remaining valuation allowance of $1.9 million for its deferred taxes resulting in a net tax benefit of $1.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2006. The net income for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $2.1 million, or $0.32 per diluted share, compared to net income of $4.6 million, or $0.56 per diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2006.All diluted earnings per share amounts have been adjusted to reflect the dilutive effect of all warrants and stock options, except for options whose exercise price exceeds the closing market price as of June 30, 2007, outstanding. See Note 6 – Earnings Per Share.
Return on average assets (ROAA) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 was .65% and .59% compared to 1.69% and 1.36% for the same periods in 2006. The Company's return on average equity (ROAE) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 was 7.75% and 7.09%, respectively, compared to 21.63% and 17.59%, respectively, for the three and sixmonths ended June 30, 2006. The Company’s basic and diluted book value per share increased to $11.38 and $9.41, respectively, at June 30, 2007, reflecting annualized increases of 6.46% and 5.57% from December 31, 2006. Options whose exercise price exceeds the closing market price as of June 30, 2007 are excluded from the diluted book value calculation.
Net Interest Income
The Company’s earnings are derived predominately from net interest income, which is the difference between the interest income earned on interest-earning assets, primarily loans and securities, and the interest expense incurred on interest-bearing liabilities, primarily deposits and borrowings. The net interest margin is the net interest income divided by the average interest-earning assets.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, net interest income was $4.5 million and $9.0 million, respectively, compared to $4.2 million and $8.9 million for the same periods a year earlier. The increase for the three month period is predominately attributable to a 12.6% growth in interest income, from $10.7million to$12.1million, for the three months ended June 30, 2007. Growth in interest income was predominately attributable to a 10.3%increase in the average loan yield to 7.37% from 6.68% over the prior year period which was partially offset by a decrease in average loans outstanding of $8.7 million. As part of the Bank’s transformation to a commercial banking platform, management has implemented various strategies to increase interest income through the origination of higher yielding commercial real estate and small business loans. Partially offsetting the increase in interest income was an increase in interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2007 of 16.2%, or $1.1million. The increase in interest expense was attributable to increases in average deposits outstanding of $38.9million, as well as the increase in the average cost of deposits and borrowings of 70 and 46 basis points, respectively, over the prior year period.
The Company’s net interest margin for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 was 2.63% compared to 2.58% for the same period a year ago. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the average rate earned on loans of 69 basis points which was partially offset by increases in the average cost of deposits and borrowings. The increase in the cost of funds is attributable to the strong competitor deposit pricing within the Bank’s primary markets and higher borrowing cost associated with the Bank’s Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) advances. The increase in loan rates is primarily due to the change in the mix of the loan portfolio to include more commercial real estate and business loans and less multi-family loans. Non-multi-family loans increased from 28.7% of the loan portfolio as of June 30, 2006 to 45.4% a year later.
The following table sets forth the Company’s average balance sheets and the related weighted average yields and costs on average interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006. The yields and costs are derived by dividing income or expense by the average balance of assets or liabilities, respectively, for the periods shown. Average balances are measured on a daily basis. The yields and costs include fees that are considered adjustments to yields.

Provision for Loan Losses
The provision for loan losses was $215,000 and $514,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively, compared to $104,000 and $103,000 for the same periods in 2006. The increase in the provisions for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006 is primarily due to the transitioning of the Bank’s loan portfolio to include more commercial real estate and business loans and less multi-family loans. The reserve for commercial real estate and business loans increased during the six month period ended June 30, 2007 by a total of $651,000 compared to $285,000 for the same period in 2006. Net recoveries for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 were $12,000 and $33,000, respectively, compared to charge-offs of $129,000 and $187,000, respectively, for the same periods in 2006. The Bank’s Loss Mitigation Department continues collection efforts on loans previously written-down and/or charged-off to maximize potential recoveries. See “Allowance for Loan Losses.”
Noninterest Income
Noninterest income was $1.9 million and $3.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively, compared to $1.2 million and $2.2 million, respectively, for the same periods ended June 30, 2006. The increases in noninterest income for the three and six month periods are primarily due to an increase in gains from loan sales of $558,000 and $1.2 million, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2006.
Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expenses were $4.3 million and $8.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively, compared to $3.7 million and $7.4 million for the same periods ended June 30, 2006. The increase in noninterest expense for the three and six months were the result of increases in compensation and benefits and legal and audit expense of $353,000 and $77,000 for the three months, respectively, and $765,000 and $292,000 for the six months, respectively. The increase in compensation and benefits reflects the Bank’s investment in its strategic expansion through de novo branches and the addition of experienced business bankers to staff its locations. The number of employees at the Bank grew from 109 at June 30, 2006 to 114 at June 30, 2007. The increase in legal and audit expense is primarily due to a lawsuit that was settled in June 2007 that cost the Bank a total of $250,000 in legal and settlement fees during the last six months compared to $32,000 in the same prior year period.
Provision for Income Taxes
The Company had a tax provision for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 of $698,000 and $1.2 million, respectively. For the same periods a year earlier, the Company had a tax benefit of $1.3 million and $1.1 million, respectively. During 2006 the Company benefited from a reduction in its valuation allowance for deferred taxes of $1.9 million for the three month period ending June 30, 2006 and $2.4 million for the six month period ending June 30, 2006. The Company’s valuation allowance for deferred taxes was zero at June 30, 2007, as the deferred tax assets were determined, more likely than not, to be realized based on recent earnings and management’s analysis of the valuation allowance during the quarter. At June 30, 2007, the Company’s effective tax rate for the most recent three and six months periods were 37.5% and 37.1%, respectively.
LIQUIDITY
The Bank’s primary sources of funds are principal and interest payments on loans, deposits and borrowings. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans are a predictable source of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions, and competition. The Bank’s average liquidity ratios were 10.44% and 7.08% for the quarters ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
The Company’s cash flows are comprised of three primary classifications: cash flows from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities. Cash flows used in operating activities were $296,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared to net cash used in operating activities of $684,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006. Net cash provided by investing activities was $4.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared to net cash used in investing activities of $11.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. Net cashused in financing activities was $13.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $7.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006.
The Company’s most liquid assets are unrestricted cash and short-term investments. The levels of these assets are dependent on the Company’s operating, lending and investing activities during any given period. At June 30, 2007, cash and cash equivalents totaled $8.2 million and the market-value of the Bank’s investments in mortgage-backed securities and mutual funds totaled $58.0 million. The Company has other sources of liquidity, if a need for additional funds arises, including the utilization of FHLB advances, Federal Funds lines, credit facilities with Salomon Brothers and Pershing, and loan sales.
As of June 30, 2007, the Bank had commitments to extend credit of $32.8 million as compared to $18.9 million at December 31, 2006. There were no material changes to the Company’s commitments or contingent liabilities as of June 30, 2007 compared to the period ended December 31, 2006 as discussed in the notes to the audited consolidated financial statements of Pacific Premier Bancorp, Inc., for the year ended December 31, 2006 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for such year.
CAPITAL RESOURCES
The regulatory agencies require a minimum ratio of qualifying total capital to risk-adjusted assets of 8.0 percent and a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-adjusted assets of 4.0 percent. In addition to the risk-based guidelines, regulators require banking organizations to maintain a minimum amount of Tier 1 capital to total assets, referred to as the leverage ratio, of 4.0 percent. For a bank rated in the highest of the five categories used by regulators to rate banks, the minimum leverage ratio is 3.0 percent. In addition to these uniform risk-based capital guidelines that apply across the industry, the regulators have the discretion to set individual minimum capital requirements for specific institutions at rates significantly above the minimum guidelines and ratios.
The table in “Item 1. Financial Statements - Note 3 - “Regulatory Matters” reflects the Company’s and Bank’s capital ratios based on the end of the period covered by this report and the regulatory requirements to be adequately capitalized and well capitalized. As of June 30, 2007, the Bank met the capital ratios required to be considered well capitalized.
Management believes that there have been no material changes in the Company’s quantitative and qualitative information about market risk since December 31, 2006. For a complete discussion of the Company’s quantitative and qualitative market risk, see “Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk” in the Company’s 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company's Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(c) and 15-d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of the end of the period covered by this report (the "Evaluation Date") have concluded that as of the Evaluation Date, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were adequate and effective to ensure that material information relating to the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries would be made known to them by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which this quarterly report was being prepared. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to its Management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
(b) Changes in Internal Controls
There have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
The Company is not involved in any legal proceedings other than those occurring in the ordinary course of business, except for the “James Baker v. Century Financial, et al” which was discussed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. Management believes that none of these legal proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse impact on the results of operations or financial condition of the Company.
There were no material changes to the Risk Factors disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.
