Alaska Pacific Bancshares, Inc. and Subsidiary
Selected Notes to Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
Note 1 - Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Alaska Pacific Bancshares, Inc. (the “Company”) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Alaska Pacific Bank (the “Bank”), and have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. They should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for fair presentation have been included. The results of operations for the interim periods ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the result s which may be expected for an entire year or any other period.
Certain amounts in prior-period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current-period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on net income.
Note 2 - Fair Value Measurements
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS” or “Statement”) No. 157,Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157), effective January 1, 2008. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 has been applied prospectively as of January 1, 2008.
SFAS 157 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. SFAS 157 requires the Company to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s market assumptions. These two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy:
Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets;
Level 2 - Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable; and
Level 3 - Instruments whose significant value drivers are unobservable.
A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The following table sets for the Company’s financial assets by level within the fair value hierarchy that were measured at fair value basis during the first quarter of 2009.

Repossessed assets and other real estate owned | | | | 408 | | | | | | | | 408 |
Securities available-for-sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair values are based on quoted market prices, where available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are estimated based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments with similar characteristics or discounted cash flows. Changes in fair market value are recorded in other comprehensive income, as the securities are available for sale.
Mortgage servicing rights (MSR) are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. These assets are classified as Level 2 as quoted prices are not available and the Company uses a model derived valuation methodology to estimate the fair value of MSR obtained from an independent broker on an annual basis. The model pools loans into buckets of homogeneous characteristics and performs a present value analysis of the future cash flows. The buckets are created by individual loan characteristics such as note rate, product type, and the remittance schedule. Current market rates are utilized for discounting the future cash flows. Significant assumptions used in the valuation of MSR include discount rates, projected prepayment speeds, escrow calculations, ancillary income, delinquencies and option adjusted spreads. These assets are recorded at amortized cost.
Impaired loans are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. These assets are classified as Level 3 where significant value drivers are unobservable. The fair value of impaired loans are determined using the fair value of each loan’s collateral for collateral-dependent loans as determined, when possible, by an appraisal of the property, less estimated costs related to liquidation of the collateral. The appraisal amount may also be adjusted for current market conditions. Impaired loans were $2.9 million at March 31, 2009 with estimated reserves for impairment of $1.1 million.
5
The repossessed assets and other real estate owned amount above represents impaired real estate that has been adjusted to fair value. Other real estate owned represents real estate which the Bank has taken control of in partial or full satisfaction of loans. At the time of foreclosure, other real estate owned is recorded at the lower of the carrying amount of the loan or fair value less costs to sell, which becomes the property’s new basis. Any write-downs based on the asset’s fair value at the date of acquisition are charged to the allowance for loan and lease losses. After foreclosure, management periodically performs valuations when possible, by an appraisal of the property, such that the real estate is carried at the lower of its new cost basis or fair value, net of estimated costs to sell. Fair value adjustments on other real estate owned are recognized within net loss on real estate owned. The loss represents impairments o n other real estate owned for fair value adjustments based on the fair value of the real estate.
Note 3 - Capital Compliance
At March 31, 2009, the Bank exceeded each of the three current minimum quantitative regulatory capital requirements and was categorized as “well capitalized” under the “prompt corrective action” regulatory framework. The following table summarizes the Bank's regulatory capital position and minimum requirements under the “prompt corrective action” regulatory framework at March 31, 2009:

On January 7, 2009 the Office of Thrift Supervision finalized a supervisory agreement (a memorandum of understanding or “MOU”) which was reviewed and approved by the Board of Directors of Alaska Pacific Bank on December 19, 2008. The MOU specifically requires the Bank to submit a business plan that sets forth a plan for maintaining Tier 1 (Core) Leverage Ratio of 8% and a minimum Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio of 12%. As of March 31, 2009, the Bank’s Tier-1 (Core) Leverage Ratio was 10.04% (2.04% over the minimum required under the MOU) and Risk-Based Capital Ratio was 13.34%, (1.34% over the minimum required under the MOU).
Note 4 – Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period less treasury stock and unallocated and not yet committed to be released ESOP shares (“unearned ESOP shares”). Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares used to compute basic EPS plus the incremental amount of potential common stock from stock options, determined by the treasury stock method.

Options to purchase an additional 54,188 shares of common stock were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because their exercise price resulted in them being anti-dilutive. Also as of March 31, 2009, the warrant issued to the U.S. Treasury to purchase up to 175,772 shares of common stock in the first quarter of 2009 was not included in the computation of diluted EPS because the warrant’s exercise price was greater than the average market price of the Company’s common shares.
Note 5 – Comprehensive Income
The Company’s only item of “other comprehensive income” is net unrealized gains or losses on investment securities available for sale. Comprehensive income is calculated in the following table:

Note 6 – Impaired Loans
Impaired loans were $13.8 million and $10.7 million at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. The $3.1 million increase in impaired loan balances relates to two permanent commercial non-residential loans on properties located outside of Alaska, which are performing as agreed and two commercial real estate loans, which are performing as agreed. Estimated specific reserves for impairment of $1.1 million and $1.0 million, respectively, were recognized on these loans in assessing the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008.
Note 7 – Preferred Stock
On February 6, 2009, as part of the Troubled Asset Relief Program (“TARP”) Capital Purchase Program, Alaska Pacific entered into a Letter Agreement and Securities Purchase Agreement (collectively, the “Purchase Agreement”) with the United States Department of the Treasury (“Treasury”), pursuant to which the Company sold (i) 4,781 shares of the Company’s Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) and (ii) a warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase 175,772 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), for an aggregate issuance price of $4.8 million in cash.
8
The Series A Preferred Stock qualifies as Tier 1 capital and is entitled to cumulative dividends at a rate of 5% per annum for the first five years, and 9% per annum thereafter. The Series A Preferred Stock may be redeemed by the Company after three years. Prior to the end of three years, the Series A Preferred Stock may be redeemed by the Company only with proceeds from the sale of qualifying equity securities of the Company (a “Qualified Equity Offering”). The restrictions on redemption are set forth in the Certificate of Designation attached to the Statement of Establishment and Designation of Series of Preferred Stock, which amends the Company’s Articles of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Designation”).
The Warrant has a 10-year term and is immediately exercisable upon its issuance, with an exercise price, subject to anti-dilution adjustments, equal to $4.08 per share of the Common Stock. Treasury has agreed not to exercise voting power with respect to any shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of the Warrant that it holds.
Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the ability of the Company to declare or pay dividends or distributions on, or purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire for consideration, shares of its Junior Stock (as defined below) and Parity Stock (as defined below) will be subject to restrictions, including a restriction against increasing dividends from the last quarterly cash dividend per share ($0.10) declared on the Common Stock prior to February 6, 2009. The redemption, purchase or other acquisition of trust preferred securities of the Company or its affiliates also will be restricted. These restrictions will terminate on the earlier of (a) the third anniversary of the date of issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock, (b) the date on which the Series A Preferred Stock has been redeemed in whole, and (c) the date Treasury has transferred all of the Series A Preferred Stock to third parties.
In addition, pursuant to the Certificate of Designation, the ability of the Company to declare or pay dividends or distributions on, or repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire for consideration, shares of its Junior Stock and Parity Stock will be subject to restrictions in the event that the Company fails to declare and pay full dividends (or declare and set aside a sum sufficient for payment thereof) on its Series A Preferred Stock.
“Junior Stock” means the Common Stock and any other class or series of stock of the Company the terms of which expressly provide that it ranks junior to the Series A Preferred Stock as to dividend rights and/or rights on liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company. “Parity Stock” means any class or series of stock of the Company the terms of which do not expressly provide that such class or series will rank senior or junior to the Series A Preferred Stock as to dividend rights and/or rights on liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company (in each case without regard to whether dividends accrue cumulatively or non-cumulatively).
In accordance with the relevant accounting pronouncements, the Company recorded the preferred stock and detachable warrants within Stockholders’ Equity on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The preferred stock and detachable warrants were initially recognized based on their relative fair values at the date of issuance. As a result, the preferred stock’s carrying value is at a discount to the liquidation value or stated value.
9
In accordance with the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 68, Increasing Rate Preferred Stock, the discount is considered an unstated dividend cost that shall be amortized over the period preceding commencement of the perpetual dividend using the effective interest method, by charging the imputed dividend cost against retained earnings and increasing the carrying amount of the preferred stock by a corresponding amount. The discount is therefore being amortized over five years using a 6.71% effective interest rate. The total stated dividends (whether or not declared) and unstated dividend cost combined represents a period’s total preferred stock dividend, which is deducted from net income to arrive at net income available to common shareholders on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
In April 2009, the Board declared the first quarterly dividend, which is payable May 15, 2009.
The preferred stock and detachable warrants were initially recognized based on their relative fair values at the date of issuance in accordance with APB Opinion No. 14, Accounting for Convertible Debt and Debt Issued with Stock Purchase Warrants. As a result, the value allocated to the warrants is different than the estimated fair value of the warrants as of the grant date. The following assumptions were used to determine the fair value of the warrants as of the grant date:
Dividend yield 1.50%
Expected life (years) 10.0
Expected volatility 37%
Risk-free rate 3.05%
Fair value per warrant at grant date $ 4.15
Note 8 – Commitments
Commitments to extend credit, including lines of credit, totaled $8.8 million and $10.5 million at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. Commitments to extend credit are arrangements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates (of less than one year) or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee by the customer. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Bank evaluates creditworthiness for commitments on an individual customer basis.
Undisbursed loan proceeds, primarily for real estate construction loans, totaled $1.9 million and $1.8 million at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. These amounts are excluded from loan balances.

ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Forward-Looking Statements
This discussion contains forward-looking statements which are based on assumptions and describe future plans, strategies and expectations of the Company. These forward-looking statements are generally identified by use of the word “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” anticipate,” “estimate,” “project,” or similar words. The Company’s ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is uncertain. The Company’s actual results, performance, or achievements may differ materially from those suggested, expressed, or implied by forward-looking statements as a result of a wide variety or range of factors including, but not limited to, the credit risk of lending activities, including changes in the level and trend of loan delinquencies and write-offs; results of examinations by our banking regulators; interest rate fluctuations; economic conditions in the Compa ny’s primary market area and other market areas where it has loans and loan participations; demand for residential, commercial real estate, consumer, and other types of loans; success of new products; competitive conditions between banks and non-bank financial service providers; regulatory and accounting changes; technological factors affecting operations; pricing of products and services; and other risks detailed in the Company’s reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008. You should consider these risks and uncertainties in evaluating forward-looking statements and you should not rely too much on these statements.
Recent Developments
Legislative Developments
The continuing decline of the economy from 2008 into 2009 has created significant challenges for financial institutions such as Alaska Pacific Bank. Dramatic declines in the housing market, marked by falling home prices and increasing levels of mortgage foreclosures, have resulted in significant write-downs of asset values by many financial institutions, including government-sponsored entities and major commercial and investment banks. In addition, many lenders and institutional investors have reduced, and in some cases, ceased to provide funding to borrowers, including other financial institutions, as a result of concern about the stability of the financial markets and the strength of counterparties.
11
In response to the crises affecting the U.S. banking system and financial markets and attempts to bolster the distressed economy and improve consumer confidence in the financial system, on October 3, 2008, the U.S. Congress passed, and the President signed into law, the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (“EESA”). The EESA authorizes the U.S. Treasury Department to purchase from financial institutions and their holding companies up to $700 billion in mortgage loans, mortgage-related securities and certain other financial instruments, including debt and equity securities issued by financial institutions and their holding companies in a troubled asset relief program (“TARP”). The purpose of TARP is to restore confidence and stability to the U.S. banking system and to encourage financial institutions to increase their lending to customers and to each other. Under the TARP Capital Purchase Program (“CPP” ;), the Treasury may purchase debt or equity securities from participating institutions. The TARP also allows direct purchases or guarantees of troubled assets of financial institutions. Participants in the CPP are subject to executive compensation limits and are encouraged to expand their lending and mortgage loan modifications.
EESA also increased FDIC deposit insurance on most accounts from $100,000 to $250,000. This increase expires at the end of 2009 and is not covered by deposit insurance premiums paid by the banking industry.
Following a systemic risk determination, the FDIC established a Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program (“TLGP”) on October 14, 2008. The TLGP includes the Transaction Account Guarantee Program, which provides unlimited deposit insurance coverage through December 31, 2009 for noninterest-bearing transaction accounts (typically business checking accounts) and certain funds swept into noninterest-bearing savings accounts (“TAGP”). Institutions participating in the TAGP pay a 10 basis points fee (annualized) on the balance of each covered account in excess of $250,000, while the extra deposit insurance is in place. The TLGP also includes the Debt Guarantee Program (“DGP”), under which the FDIC guarantees certain senior unsecured debt of FDIC-insured institutions and their holding companies. The unsecured debt must be issued on or after October 14, 2008 and not later than June 30, 2009, and the guarantee is effecti ve through the earlier of the maturity date or June 30, 2012. The DGP coverage limit is generally 125% of the eligible entity’s eligible debt outstanding on September 30, 2008 and scheduled to mature on or before June 30, 2009 or, for certain insured institutions, 2% of their liabilities as of September 30, 2008. Depending on the term of the debt maturity, the nonrefundable DGP fee ranges from 50 to 100 basis points (annualized) for covered debt outstanding until the earlier of maturity or June 30, 2012. The TAGP and DGP are in effect for all eligible entities, unless the entity opted out on or before December 5, 2008. The Company and the Bank did not opt out of the TAGP; however, since neither the Company nor the Bank has unsecured senior debt, we did elect to opt out of the DGP. The TLGP has been amended to allow participants to seek approval of applications to issue guaranteed convertible debt.
On February 17, 2009, President Obama signed The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (“ARRA”) into law. The ARRA is intended to revive the US economy by creating millions of new jobs and stemming home foreclosures. For financial institutions that have received or will receive financial assistance under TARP or related programs, the ARRA significantly rewrites the original executive compensation and corporate governance provisions of Section 111 of the EESA.
12
Among the most important changes instituted by the ARRA are new limits on the ability of TARP recipients to pay incentive compensation to up to 20 of the next most highly-compensated employees in addition to the “senior executive officers,” a restriction on termination of employment payments to senior executive officers and the five next most highly-compensated employees and a requirement that TARP recipients implement “say on pay” shareholder votes. Further legislation is anticipated to be passed with respect to the economic recovery.
The Administration also announced in February 2009 its Financial Stability Plan (“FSP”) and Homeowners Affordability and Stability Plan (“HASP”). Many details of these plans have not been finalized. The FSP is administrated by the U.S. Treasury and includes the following four key elements: (1) the development of a public/private investment fund essentially structured as a government sponsored enterprise with the mission to purchase troubled assets from banks with an initial capitalization from government funds; (2) the continuation of the Capital Assistance Program with the Treasury purchasing additional bank capital available only for banks that have undergone a new stress test given by their regulator; (3) an expansion of the Federal Reserve’s term asset-backed liquidity facility to support the purchase of up to $1 trillion in AAA–rated asset-backed securities backed by consumer, student and small business loans and possibly other types of loans; and (4) the establishment of a mortgage loan modification program with $5.0 billion in federal funds further detailed in the HASP.
The HASP is a voluntary program developed to help seven to nine million families restructure their mortgages to avoid foreclosure with $275 billion in government funding commitments. The plan also develops guidance for loan modifications nationwide. However, it is mandatory for recipients of FSP financial assistance. HASP provides programs and funding for eligible refinancing of loans owned or guaranteed by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, along with incentives to lenders, mortgage servicers, and borrowers to modify mortgages of “responsible” homeowners who are at risk of defaulting on their mortgage. The goals of HASP are to assist in the prevention of home foreclosures and to help stabilize falling home prices.
In February 2009, the FDIC issued new deposit premium regulations providing for increases or premiums, higher premiums for institutions with secured debt (including FHLB advances and brokered deposits) and a special assessment in the second quarter of 2009 to replenish the fund. Under these new deposit insurance premium regulations, the FDIC assesses deposit insurance premiums on all FDIC-insured institutions quarterly based on annualized rates for four risk categories. Each institution is assigned to one of four risk categories based on capital, supervisory ratings and other factors. Well capitalized institutions that are financially sound with only a few minor weaknesses are assigned to Risk Category I. Risk Categories II, III and IV present progressively greater risks to the DIF. Under FDICs risk-adjustments range from 12 to 16 basis points for Risk Category I, and are 22 basis points for Initial base assessment rates are subject to ad justments based on an institutions unsecured debt, secured liabilities and brokered deposits, such that the total base assessment rate after adjustments range from 7 to 24 basis points
13
for Risk Category I, 17 to 34 basis points Risk Category II, 27 to 58 basis points for Risk Category III, and 40 to 77.5 basis points for Risk Category IV. The rule also includes authority for the FDIC to increase or decrease total base assessment rates in the future by as much as three basis points without a formal rulemaking proceeding.
In addition to the regular quarterly assessments, as a result of the losses and projected losses attributed to failed institutions, the FDIC has adopted a rule imposing on every insured institution a special assessment equal to 20 basis points of its assessment base as of June 30, 2009 to be collected on September 30, 2009. The FDIC has indicated that if, its borrowing authority from the United States Treasury is increased, it would reduce the special assessment to 10 basis points. There is legislation pending to increase that borrowing authority from $30 billion to $100 billion (and up to $500 billion under special circumstances). The FDIC also proposed that it could increase assessment rates in the future without formal rulemaking.
The preceding is a summary of recently enacted laws and regulations that could materially impact our results of operations or financial condition. This discussion is qualified in its entirety by reference to such laws and regulations and should be read in conjunction with “Regulation of Alaska Pacific Bank” discussion contained in our 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Developments Relating to the Bank
On January 7, 2009 the Office of Thrift Supervision finalized a supervisory agreement (a memorandum of understanding or “MOU”) which was reviewed and approved by the Board of Directors of Alaska Pacific Bank on December 19, 2008. The MOU specifically requires the Bank to: (a) submit a business plan that sets forth a plan for maintaining Tier 1 (Core) Leverage Ratio of 8% and a minimum Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio of 12% and provides a detailed financial forecast including capital ratios, earnings and liquidity and containing comprehensive business line goals and objectives; (b) remain in compliance with the minimum capital ratios contained in the business plan; (b) provide notice to and obtain a non-objection from the OTS prior to the Bank declaring a dividend; (c) maintain an adequate Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses (ALLL); (d) engage an independent consultant to conduct a loan review of the Bank’s purchased loan par ticipations current nonperforming loans and any new loans that are in excess of $500,000 and that were originated since the last review; and (e) develop a written comprehensive plan, that is acceptable to the OTS, to reduce classified assets.
Subsequent to the MOU, in March 2009 the board of directors executed two resolutions to assure the Office of Thrift Supervision that the company was committed to supporting the bank should it be necessary, and that the company would mirror the restrictions in the bank’s MOU. The first resolution was required by the OTS of all OTS regulated holding companies. The resolution, referenced as “Source of Strength”, ensures that the holding company is prepared to push additional capital down to the bank should it be necessary. The second resolution specified that the holding company would issue dividends only upon the “nonobjection” of the OTS, would maintain sufficient cash and cash flow so that holding company activities would not be paid for by the bank, and that the company would not issue debt without the nonobjection from the OTS.
14
The Board of Directors and management of the Bank do not believe that the MOU will constrain the Bank’s business plans and that there has already been substantial progress made in satisfying the requirements of the MOU. Management believes that the primary reason that the OTS requested the Bank enter into an MOU with the OTS was specific participation loans that give rise to the high level of classified assets. An independent loan review was conducted mid-year 2008 and a follow-up review completed in March 2009. As of March 31, 2009, the Bank’s Tier-1 (Core) Leverage Ratio was 10.04% (2.04% over the new required minimum) and Risk-Based Capital Ratio was 13.34%, (1.34% over the new required minimum). While we believe we are currently in compliance with the terms of the Memorandum of Understanding, if we fail to comply with these terms, the Office of Thrift Supervision could take additional enforcement action against us, including the imposition of monetary penalties or the issuance of a cease and desist order requiring further corrective action.
Critical Accounting Policies
The discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations are based upon the Company’s condensed consolidated interim financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Accounting for the allowance for loan losses involves significant judgment and assumptions by management, which has a material impact on the carrying value of net loans. Management considers this accounting policy to be a critical accounting policy. The allowance is based on two principles of accounting: (i) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS” or “Statement”) No. 5,Accounting for Contingencies, which requires that losses be accrued when they are probable of occurring and can be estimated; and (ii) SFAS No. 114,Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, as amended by SFAS No. 118,Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan-Income Recognition and Disclosures, which requires that losses be accrued based on the differences between the value of collateral, present value of future cash flows or values that are observable in the secondary market and the loan balance. The allowance has three components: (i) a formula allowance for groups of homogeneous loans, (ii) a specific valuation allowance for identified problem loans and (iii) an unallocated allowance. Each of these components is based upon estimates that can change over time. The formula allowance is based primarily on historical experience and as a result can differ from actual losses incurred in the future. The history is reviewed at least quarterly and adjustments are made as needed. Various techniques are used to arrive at specific loss estimates, including historical loss information, discounted cash flows and fair market value of collateral. The use of these techniques is inherently subjective and the actual losses could be greater or less than the estimates. For further details, see “Results of Operations - Provision for Loan Losses” included in this Form 10-Q.
15
The allowance for loan losses represents management's best estimate of incurred credit losses inherent in the Company's loan portfolio as of the balance sheet date. The estimate of the allowance is based on a variety of factors, including past loan loss experience, the current credit profile of borrowers, adverse situations that have occurred that may affect a borrower's ability to meet his financial obligations, the estimated value of underlying collateral, general economic conditions, and the impact that changes in interest rates and employment conditions have on a borrower's ability to repay adjustable-rate loans.
The fair value of impaired loans is determined using the fair value of each loan’s collateral for collateral-dependent loans as determined, when possible, by an appraisal of the property, less estimated costs related to liquidation of the collateral. The appraisal amount may also be adjusted for current market conditions. Adjustments to reflect the fair value of collateral-dependent loans are a component in determining our best estimate of the allowance for loan losses.
Interest is generally not accrued on any loan when its contractual payments are more than 90 days delinquent unless collection of interest is considered probable. In addition, interest is not recognized on any loan where management has determined that collection is not reasonably assured. A nonaccrual loan may be restored to accrual status when delinquent principal and interest payments are brought current and future monthly principal and interest payments are expected to be collected.
Financial Condition
Total assets of the Company at March 31, 2009 were $185.6 million, a decrease of $5.3 million, or 2.8%, from $190.9 million at December 31, 2008. The decrease is primarily the result of a decrease in interest earning deposits in banks and loans.
Loans (excluding loans held for sale) were $168.0 million at March 31, 2009, a $1.0 million, or 0.6%, decrease from $169.0 million at December 31, 2008. The decline in the first quarter of 2009 was primarily in commercial business ($1.1 million, or 4.5%) offset with an increase in permanent commercial nonresidential loans ($2.9 million, or 5.2%) . The commercial non-residential balances increased because of new loans totaling $1.5 million and increases to or draws under previously approved credits. The commercial business loans declined due to payoffs and lower demand for non-real estate business loans.

Deposits decreased $22.8 million, or 14.1%, to $139.4 million at March 31, 2009, compared with $162.2 million at December 31, 2008. The decline in the first quarter of 2009 was primarily in certificates of deposit ($15.4 million, or 28.0%) and money market accounts ($3.8 million, or 11.6%) .
The decline in certificates of deposit (CDs) in the first quarter of 2009 is attributable to a decline in deposits from a public entity under a CD program for qualified Alaskan financial institutions. The decline in deposits under this program was due to a change in the index rate required under the program guidelines. These program CDs are secured by irrevocable standby letters of credit issued by the Federal Home Loan Bank, and the total amount of CDs is limited to 100% of the Bank’s capital. There were no CDs under this program at March 31, 2009 and $15 million at December 31, 2008.
The Bank began using CDARS deposits in 2005 as an alternative source of funds in addition to advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Seattle (“FHLB”). These are insured time deposits obtained through the nationwideCertificate of Deposit Account Registry Service. They range in maturities from one month to three years, and are generally priced higher than locally obtained deposits but are generally less expensive than other brokered deposits.
17
Included in certificates of deposit were CDARS brokered deposits of $1.9 million at March 31, 2009 and $2.1 million at December 31, 2008.
Results of Operations
Net Income. Net income not including preferred stock dividend and discount accretion for the first quarter of 2009 was $209,000. After preferred stock dividend and discount accretion of $46,000, net income available to common shareholders for the first quarter of 2009 was $163,000, or $0.25 per common share. Net income for the first quarter ended March 31, 2008 was $154,000, or $0.23 per diluted share.
For purposes of comparison, income can be separated into major components as follows:

Net Interest Income. Net interest income for the first quarter of 2009 decreased $69,000 (3.1%) compared with the first quarter of 2008. The net interest margin on average interest-earning assets for the first quarter of 2009 was 4.83%, compared with 5.00% in the first quarter of 2008.
Average loans increased $1.7 million (0.99%) for the first quarter of 2009 compared with the first quarter of 2008. At the same time, the overall yield on average interest earning assets decreased 112 basis points (“bp”) for the first quarter to 6.08% compared with the first quarter of 2008. For loans, the largest component of earning assets, the yield decreased 114 bp to 6.20% compared with first quarter of 2008. Average interest bearing deposits increased $8.1 million (6.8%) for the first quarter of 2009 compared with the first quarter of 2008. The cost of average interest bearing liabilities declined 121bp to 1.56% for the first quarter of 2009 compared with the first quarter of 2008.
18
The interest rate spread, which is the difference between the yield on average interest-earning assets and the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities, increased 10 bp to 4.52% for the first quarter 2009 compared to the first quarter of 2008.
Provision for Loan Losses.The provisions for loan losses decreased to $60,000 for the first quarter of 2009, compared with $170,000 for the first quarter of 2008. The provisions in both periods reflect management’s assessment of asset quality, overall risk, and estimated loan impairments and were considered appropriate in order to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level that represents management’s best estimate of the probable credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio. Net loan charge offs (recoveries) were ($5,000) for the first quarter of 2009, compared with ($1,000) for the first quarter of 2008.
Noninterest Income.Excluding mortgage banking income, noninterest income for the first quarter of 2009 increased $10,000 (3.9%) to $266,000 compared with $256,000 for the first quarter of 2008. The increase is primarily in loan document preparation fees.
Mortgage banking income increased $149,000 to $230,000 in the first quarter of 2009 compared with first quarter of 2008. The increase is associated with an increase in mortgage loans originated and sold.
Noninterest Expense.Noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2009 increased $107,000 (5.1%) for the first quarter of 2008. The increase is primarily related to an increase in professional service fees associated with impaired loans, an increase in repossessed assets expense, and an increase in FDIC assessments.
Asset Quality
Nonaccrual loans were $5.8 million at March 31, 2009, compared with $3.4 at March 31, 2008. The $2.4 million increase in nonaccrual loans relates to the addition of three participation loans that totaled $4.5 million offset by the charge off of $2.6 million of non-accrual loans that existed at March 31, 2008.
Loans with balances totaling $13.8 million at March 31, 2009 and $10.7 million at December 31, 2008 were considered to be impaired. Total estimated impairments of $1.1 and $1.0 million, respectively, were recognized on impaired loans in evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. The $3.1 million increase in impaired loan balances relates primarily to two permanent commercial non-residential loans on properties located outside of Alaska, which are performing as agreed and two commercial business loans, which are performing as agreed.
The largest of the four additional loans is a commercial real estate loan for $2.1 million.

As of March 31, 2009, Alaska Pacific had charged off $700,000 of these loans as confirmed losses.
The Bank had $408,000 of repossessed assets at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's primary sources of funds are deposits, borrowings, and principal and interest payments on loans. 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 Company's primary investing activity is loan originations. The Company maintains liquidity levels believed to be adequate to fund loan commitments, investment opportunities, deposit withdrawals and other financial commitments. In addition, the Bank has available from the FHLB a line of credit generally equal to 25% of the Bank’s total assets, or approximately $46 million at March 31, 2009.
20
The line is secured by a blanket pledge of the Company’s assets. At March 31, 2009, there was $22.3 million outstanding on the line.
As disclosed in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows in Item 1 of this report on Form 10-Q, cash and cash equivalents decreased by $2.4 million to $7.0 million as of March 31, 2009, from $9.4 million as of December 31, 2008. Net cash provided by operating activities was $2.4 million for the first quarter of 2009. Net cash of $1.2 million provided by investing activities during the first quarter ended March 31, 2009 consisted principally of a net decrease in loan originations, net of principal pay downs. The $6.0 million of cash used in financing activities during the first quarter ended March 31, 2009 primarily consisted of $15.4 million net decrease in deposits, offset by a $12.0 million increase in borrowed funds and a $4.8 million proceeds from issuance of preferred stock and common stock warrants.
At March 31, 2009, management had no knowledge of any trends, events or uncertainties that may have material effects on the liquidity, capital resources, or operations of the Company.
The Company is not subject to any regulatory capital requirements separate from its banking subsidiary. The Bank exceeded all of its regulatory capital requirements at March 31, 2009. See Note 3 of the Selected Notes to Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements contained herein for information regarding the Bank's regulatory capital position at March 31, 2009.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
On January 12, 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) EITF 99-20-1,Amendments to the Impairment Guidance of EITF Issue No. 99-20.FSP EITF 99-20-1 addresses certain practice issues in EITF No. 99-20,Recognition of Interest Income and Impairment on Purchased Beneficial Interests and Beneficial Interests That Continue to Be Held by a Transferor in Securitized Financial Assets, by making its other-than-temporary impairment assessment guidance consistent with SFAS No. 115,Accounting for Certain Inv estments in Debt and Equity Securities. FSP EITF 99-20-1 removes the reference to the consideration of a market participant’s estimates of cash flows in EITF 99-20, and instead requires an assessment of whether it is probable, based on current information and events, that the holder of the security will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms. If it is probable that there has been an adverse change in estimated cash flows, an other-than-temporary impairment is deemed to exist, and a corresponding loss shall be recognized in earnings equal to the entire difference between the investment’s carrying value and its fair value at the balance sheet date of the reporting period for which the assessment is made. This FSP is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after December 15, 2008, and shall be applied prospectively. The FSP did not have a material impact on the Company’s financia l condition or results of operations.
On April 1, 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 141(R)-1,Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise From Contingencies.
21
FSP FAS 141(R)-1 addresses concerns about the application of Statement 141(R),Business Combinations, to assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in a business combination. Under the FSP, an acquirer is required to recognize at fair value an asset acquired or a liability assumed in a business combination that arises from a contingency if the acquisition-date fair value of that asset or liability can be determined during the measurement period. If the acquisition-date fair value cannot be determined, then the acquirer follows the recognition criteria in Statement 54and Interpretation 145to determine whether the contingency should be recognized as of the acquisition date or after it. Like Statement 141(R), the FSP is effective for business combinations whose acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. FSP FAS 141(R)-1 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
On April 9, 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-4,Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly.The FSP provides additional guidance for estimating fair value of an asset or liability in accordance with FASB Statement No. 157,Fair Value Measurements, when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased. FSP 157-4 also includes guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. The FSP is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early ado ption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. The Bank did not early adopt FSP 157-4 for the interim period ended March 31, 2009. The FSP is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
On April 9, 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 107-1 and Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) 28-1,Interim Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments.The FSP requires disclosure about fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies as well as in annual financial statements. The FSP also amends APB Opinion No. 28, Interim Financial Reporting, to require those disclosures in summarized financial information at interim reporting periods. The FSP is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. The Bank did not early adopt FSP 107-1 and APB 28-1 for the interim period ended March 31, 2009. The FSP is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
On April 9, 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2,Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments. The FSP amends the other-than-temporary impairment guidance for debt securities to make the guidance more operational and to improve the presentation and disclosure of other-than-temporary impairments on debt and equity securities in the financial statements. FSP 115-2 and 124-2 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. The Company did not early adopt FSP 115-2 and 124-2 for the interim period ended March 31, 2009. The FSP is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
(a)Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures: An evaluation of the registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13(a)-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Act”)) was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the registrant’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and other members of the registrant’s senior management. The registrant’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2009, the registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed by the registrant in the reports it files or submits under the Act is (i) accumulated and communicated to the registrant’s management (including th e Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer) in a timely manner, and (ii) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.
The Company does not expect that its disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all error and or fraud. A control procedure, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control procedure are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control procedures, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any control procedure also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and ther e can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control procedure, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires that companies evaluate and annually report on their systems of internal control over financial reporting. Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the Company conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on the framework established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. As reported in the 10-K, based on this assessment, management determined that the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2009 is effective.
23
In addition, our independent accountants, beginning with our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009, must report on management's evaluation of its internal control over financial reporting. As a result of the ongoing evaluation and testing of our internal controls, there can be no assurance that if any control deficiencies are identified they will be remediated before the end of the 2009 fiscal year, or that there may not be significant deficiencies or material weaknesses that would be required to be reported. In addition, we expect the evaluation process and any required remediation, if applicable, to increase our accounting, legal and other costs and divert management resources from core business operations.
(b)Changes in Internal Controls: In the quarter ended March 31, 2009, the Company did not make any significant changes in, nor take any corrective actions regarding, its internal controls or other factors that could significantly affect these controls.
Item 4(T).Controls and Procedures
Information regarding internal control over financial reporting has been set forth in Item 4. This quarterly report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this quarterly report.
