A complete set of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements is a part of the Company’s 2008 Form 10-K filed March 13, 2009. The notes below are included due to material changes in the financial statements or to provide the reader with additional information not otherwise available. All numbers in the following notes are expressed in thousands, except per share data.
Certain amounts contained in the prior period consolidated financial statements have been reclassified where appropriate to conform with the financial statement presentation used in the current period. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported net income.
1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Pacific Continental Corporation (the “Company”), a bank holding company, and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Pacific Continental Bank (the “Bank”) and the Bank’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, PCB Services Corporation and PCB Loan Services Corporation (both of which are presently inactive). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company without audit and in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America for interim financial information. The financial statements include all adjustments and normal accruals, which the Company considers necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for such interim periods. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, as of the date of the balance sheets and income and expenses for the periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The balance sheet data as of December 31, 2008 was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures contained in the Company’s 2008 Form 10-K. The interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the December 31, 2008 consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, included in the Company’s 2008 Form 10-K.
2. Stock Option Plans
Pursuant to the approval of the 2006 Stock Option and Equity Compensation Plan (the “2006 SOEC Plan”) at the annual shareholders’ meeting in April 2006, incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, or stock appreciation rights may be awarded to attract and retain the best available personnel for positions of responsibility with the Company and its subsidiaries. Upon adoption of the 2006 SOEC Plan, the Company’s 1999 Employees’ Stock Option Plan (“1999 ESOP Plan”) and the Directors’ Stock Option Plan (“1999 DSOP Plan”) were cancelled and no longer available for future grants. The exercise price for shares of common stock subject to an option under the 2006 SOEC Plan shall not be less than 100% of the fair market value of a share of common stock as of the date of grant of the option; provided, however, that in the case of an incentive stock option granted to an employee who immediately before the grant of such incentive stock option is a shareholder-employee, the incentive stock option exercise price shall be at least 110% of the fair value of the common stock as of the date of grant of the incentive stock option. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors may impose any terms or conditions on the vesting of an award that it determines to be appropriate. For the quarter ended March 31, 2009, the Company issued no incentive stock options.
Pursuant to the Company’s 2006 SOEC Plan, stock appreciation rights (SARs) may be granted to employees. The stock appreciation rights may be settled in cash only, or a combination of cash and common stock as determined at the date of issuance. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors determines vesting provisions when awards are granted, and the awards granted generally vest over three or four years and have a maximum life of ten years. SARs settled in stock are recognized as equity-based awards while SARs settled in cash are recognized on the balance sheet as liability-based awards, both of which are granted at the fair market value of our common stock at the grant date. The grant-date fair value of the liability-based awards vesting in the current period, along with the change in fair value of the awards during the period, are recognized as compensation expense and as an adjustment to the recorded liability. For the quarter ended March 31, 2009, the Company issued no SARs.
Also, pursuant to the Company’s 2006 SOEC Plan, non-qualified options and restricted stock awards may be granted to directors. Stock options may be granted at exercise prices of not less than 100% of the fair market value of our common stock at the grant date. Restricted stock awards may be granted at the fair market value on the date of the grant. The maximum life of options granted under this plan is ten years from the grant date. For the quarter ended March 31, 2009, the Company issued no stock options or restricted stock awards to its Directors.
The following tables identify the compensation expenses and tax benefits received by the Company according to the compensation plans and awards described above for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008:

At March 31, 2009, there were 35 investment securities in unrealized loss positions. The unrealized loss associated with the $12,026 in a continuous unrealized loss position for twelve months or longer was $2,576 at March 31, 2009. In the opinion of management, these securities are considered only temporarily impaired due to changes in market interest rate or the widening of market spreads subsequent to the initial purchase of the securities, and not due to concerns regarding the underlying credit of the issuers or the underlying collateral. The decline in value of these securities has resulted from current economic conditions. The projected average life of the securities portfolio is approximately three years. Although yields on these securities may be below market rates during that period, no loss of principal is expected.

The Bank also has a secured federal funds borrowing line available from the Federal Reserve Bank totaling $53,080 at March 31, 2009. The Federal Reserve Bank borrowing line is secured through the pledging of approximately $67,180 of commercial loans under the Bank’s Borrower-In-Custody program.

7. Regulatory Matters:
The Company and the Bank are subject to the regulations of certain federal and state agencies and receive periodic examinations by those regulatory authorities. In addition, they are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory – and possibly additional discretionary – actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the consolidated financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank’s assets, liabilities, and certain
off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Company and the Bank’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of Total and Tier I capital to risk-weighted assets and of Tier I capital to leverage assets. Management believes, as of March 31, 2009, that the Company and the Bank meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.
As of March 31, 2009 and according to FDIC guidelines, the Bank is considered to be well capitalized. To be categorized as well capitalized, the Bank must maintain minimum Total risk-based, Tier I risk-based, and Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in the following table. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the institution’s category.
The Bank’s actual capital amounts and ratios are presented in the table below (the Company’s capital ratios do not differ significantly from those of the Bank):
| | Actual | | | | | | For Capital Adequacy Purposes | | | To Be Well Capitalized Under Prompt Corrective Action Provisions | |
| | Amount | | | Ratio | | | Amount | | | Ratio | | | Amount | | | Ratio | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
As of March 31, 2009: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

8. Fair Value
Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measures”. This statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The statement requires fair value measurement disclosure of all assets and liabilities that are carried at fair value on either a recurring or non-recurring basis. The Company determines fair value based upon quoted prices when available or through the use of alternative approaches, such as matrix or model pricing, when market quotes are not readily accessible or available. The valuation techniques used are based on observable and unobservable inputs. 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 – 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.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs are used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available. The Company’s own data used to develop unobservable inputs shall be adjusted for market consideration when reasonably available.
Financial instruments are broken down in the table below by recurring or nonrecurring measurement status. Recurring assets are initially measured at fair value and are required to be remeasured at fair value in the financial statements at each reporting date. Assets measured on a nonrecurring basis are assets that, due to an event or circumstance, were required to be remeasured at fair value after initial recognition in the financial statements at some time during the reporting period.
The table below shows assets measured at fair value as of March 31, 2009:
| | | | | | | | Fair Value | | | | | | | |
| | Carrying Value | | | Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1) | | | Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) | | | Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) | | | Three Months Ended March 31, 2009 Total Loss | |

The following discussion contains a review of Pacific Continental Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiary Pacific Continental Bank operating results and financial condition for the three months ended March 31, 2009. When warranted, comparisons are made to the same period in 2008 and to the previous year ended December 31, 2008. The discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements (unaudited) and related notes contained elsewhere in this report. The reader is assumed to have access to the Company’s Form 10-K for the previous year ended December 31, 2008, which contains additional statistics and explanations. All numbers, except per share data, are expressed in thousands of dollars.
In addition to historical information, this report may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

These forward-looking statements are based on current beliefs and expectations of management and are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond the Company’s control. In addition, these forward-looking statements are subject to assumptions with respect to future business strategies and decisions that are subject to change. The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations in the forward-looking statements, including those set forth in this report, or the documents incorporated by reference:
o | the risks associated with lending and potential adverse changes in credit quality; |
o | increased loan delinquency rates; |
o | the risks presented by a continued economic slowdown, which could adversely affect credit quality, loan collateral values, investment values, liquidity levels, and loan originations; |
o | changes in market interest rates, which could adversely affect our net interest income and profitability; |
o | legislative or regulatory changes that adversely affect our business or our ability to complete pending or prospective future acquisitions; |
o | reduced demand for banking products and services; |
o | the risks presented by public stock market volatility, which could adversely affect the Company’s stock value and the ability to raise capital in the future; |
o | competition from other financial services companies in our markets; and |
o | the Company’s success in managing risks involved in the foregoing. |
Additional factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements are discussed in Risk Factors in Part II, Item 1A. Please take into account that forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this report or documents incorporated by reference. The Company does not undertake any obligation to publicly correct or update any forward-looking statement if we later become aware that it is not likely to be achieved.
SUMMARY OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The SEC defines “critical accounting policies” as those that require the application of management’s most difficult, subjective, or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in future periods. Significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2008 in Item 8 in the Company’s Form 10-K. Management believes that the following policies and those disclosed in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements should be considered critical under the SEC definition:
Allowance for Loan Losses and Reserve for Unfunded Commitments
The allowance for outstanding loans is classified as a contra-asset account offsetting outstanding loans, and the allowance for unfunded commitments is classified as an “other” liability on the balance sheet. The
allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses charged against earnings. The balances of the allowance for loan losses for outstanding loans and unfunded commitments are maintained at an amount management believes will be adequate to absorb known and inherent losses in the loan portfolio and commitments to loan funds. The appropriate balance of the allowance for loan losses is determined by applying loss factors to the credit exposure from outstanding loans and unfunded loan commitments. Estimated loss factors are based on subjective measurements including management’s assessment of the internal risk classifications, changes in the nature of the loan portfolios, industry concentrations, and the impact of current local, regional, and national economic factors on the quality of the loan portfolio. Changes in these estimates and assumptions are reasonably possible and may have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, results of operations, or liquidity.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
At March 31, 2009, the Company had $22,848 in goodwill and other intangible assets. SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, requires that goodwill be tested for impairment at the reporting unit level (operating segment or one level below an operating segment) on an annual basis (and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. These events or circumstances could include a significant change in the business climate, legal factors, operating performance indicators, competition or sale or disposition of a significant portion of a reporting unit). Application of the goodwill impairment test requires judgment, including the identification of reporting units, assignment of assets and liabilities to reporting units, assignment of goodwill to reporting units, and determination of the fair value of each reporting unit. The fair value of each reporting unit is estimated using a discounted cash flow of forecasted earnings, estimated sales price multiples based on recent observable market transactions and market capitalization based on current stock prices. This analysis requires significant judgment, including estimation of future cash flows, which is dependent on internal forecasts, estimation of the long-term rate of growth, the useful life over which cash flows will occur, and determination of our weighted average cost of capital. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value and goodwill impairment for the Company’s single reporting unit. We allocate goodwill to reporting units based on the reporting unit expected to benefit from the combination. We evaluate our reporting units on an annual basis and, if necessary, reassign goodwill using a relative fair value allocation approach.
Share-based Compensation
We account for stock-based compensation in accordance with SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment. Under the fair value recognition provisions of this statement, share-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period. Liability classified share-based awards are remeasured at fair value each reporting period. Determining the fair value of share-based awards at the grant date requires judgment, including estimating expected dividends. In addition, judgment is also required in estimating the amount of share-based awards that are expected to be forfeited. If actual results differ significantly from these estimates, stock-based compensation expense and our results of operations could be materially impacted.
The Company adopted SFAS 123(R) using the modified prospective method. Therefore, previously reported financial data was not restated, and expenses related to equity-based payments granted and vesting during 2008 and 2009 were recorded as compensation expense.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2007, FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised), Business Combinations. SFAS No. 141R establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, any noncontrolling interest in the acquired entity and the goodwill acquired. Furthermore, acquisition-related and other costs will now be expensed rather than treated as cost components of the acquisition. SFAS No. 141R also establishes disclosure requirements to enable the evaluation of the nature and financial effects of the business combination. This statement applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after January 1, 2009. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 141R will have a material
impact on our consolidated financial statements as related to business combinations consummated prior to January 1, 2009. We expect the adoption of SFAS No. 141R will increase the costs charged to operations for acquisitions consummated on or after January 1, 2009.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment to ARD No 51. SFAS No. 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. The standard also requires additional disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between the interest of the parent’s owners and the interest of the noncontrolling owners of the subsidiary. This statement is effective on January 1, 2009 for the Company, to be applied prospectively. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 160 will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In March 2008, FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133. SFAS No. 161 expands the disclosure requirements in SFAS No. 133 about an entity’s derivative instruments and hedging activities. This includes enhanced disclosures regarding how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS 133 and its related interpretations, and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. Provisions of this statement are to be applied prospectively, and comparative disclosures for earlier periods are encouraged. We have adopted the provisions of SFAS 161 for the year ended December 31, 2008, and the impact was not material to our consolidated financial statements.
In May 2008, FASB issued SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. Under SFAS 162, the U.S. GAAP hierarchy will now reside in the accounting literature established by the FASB. SFAS No. 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP for nongovernmental entities. This statement is effective 60 days after the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission approves the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board’s amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS No 162 will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In June 2008, FASB issued FSP EITF 03-6-1, Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities. FSP EITF 03-6-1 concludes that nonvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents are participating securities and shall be included in the computation of EPS pursuant to the two-class method. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, to be applied retrospectively. The Company had no restricted stock that qualifies as participating securities as described under this pronouncement. The impact of adoption of FSP EITF 03-6-1 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In October 2008, FASB issued FSP No. 157-3, Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not Active. FSP No. 157-3 clarifies the application of SFAS 157 in a market that is not active and provides an example to illustrate key considerations in determining the fair value of a financial asset when the market for that financial asset is not active. The FSP does not change existing generally accepted accounting principles. This FSP was effective immediately upon issuance, including prior periods for which financial statements have not been issued. The impact of adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
On January 12, 2009, FASB issued 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 Investments 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 impact of adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
On April 1, 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 141(R)-1, Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies. FSP FAS 141(R)-1 amends and clarifies FASB Statement No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations, to address application issues raised by preparers, auditors, and members of the legal profession on initial recognition and measurement, subsequent measurement and accounting, and disclosure of assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in a business combination. This FSP is effective for assets or liabilities arising from contingencies in business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The impact of adoption is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
On April 9, 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. 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. FSP FAS 157-4 clarifies the application of SFAS 157 when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability has significantly decreased and guidance on identifying circumstances when a transaction may not be considered orderly. This FSP is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. The impact of adoption is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
On April 9, 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. 115-2 and FAS 124-2, Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments. FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 clarify the interaction of the factors that should be considered when determining whether a debt security is other-than-temporarily impaired. For debt securities, management must assess whether (a) it has the intent to sell the security and (b) it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security prior to its anticipated recovery. These steps are done before assessing whether the entity will recover the cost basis of the investment. Previously, this assessment required management to assert it has both the intent and the ability to hold a security for a period of time sufficient to allow for an anticipated recovery in fair value to avoid recognizing an other-than-temporary impairment. This change does not affect the need to forecast recovery of the value of the security through either cash flows or market price. In instances when a determination is made that an other-than-temporary impairment exists but the investor does not intend to sell the debt security and it is not more likely than not that it will be required to sell the debt security prior to its anticipated recovery, FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 changes the presentation and amount of the other-than-temporary impairment recognized in the income statement. The other-than-temporary impairment is separated into (a) the amount of the total other-than-temporary impairment related to a decrease in cash flows expected to be collected from the debt security (the credit loss) and (b) the amount of the total other-than-temporary impairment related to all other factors. The amount of the total other-than-temporary impairment related to the credit loss is recognized in earnings. The amount of the total other-than-temporary impairment related to all other factors is recognized in other comprehensive income. This FSP is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. The impact of adoption is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
On April 9, 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments. FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 amends FASB Statement No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies as well as in annual financial statements. This FSP also amends APB Opinion No. 28, Interim Financial Reporting, to require those disclosures in summarized financial information at interim reporting periods. This FSP is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. The impact of adoption is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The Company earned $2,947 in the first quarter 2009, a decrease of $132 from first quarter 2008. The decline in net income in first quarter 2009 was due to a higher provision for loan losses, combined with growth in noninterest expenses. However, operating revenue, which consists of net interest income and noninterest income, continued to be strong. Operating revenue for the first quarter 2009 was $14,172, up $1,539 or 12.2% over first quarter 2008. Net interest income in the current quarter increased by $1,535 or 13.2%, and noninterest income was virtually flat compared to the same quarter last year. The improvement in net interest income resulted from a stable net interest margin, combined with 14.2% growth in average earning assets.
Loan growth abated significantly during the first quarter 2009 as outstanding loans grew by only $8,000, or less than 1.0%, from December 31, 2008 outstanding loans. However, the Company had record quarterly growth in its core deposit base during the first quarter 2009 as outstanding core deposits increased by $51,652 or 8.4% over December 31, 2008 outstanding core deposits. On a linked-quarter basis, growth in average core deposits during the current quarter showed similar results, up more than $25,000 over the prior quarter. Core deposits, which are defined as demand deposits, interest checking, money market account, and local time deposits (including local time deposits in excess of $100), constitute 91.0% of March 31, 2009 outstanding deposits. Noninterest-bearing demand deposits were $177,176 or 26.5% of outstanding core deposits at March 31, 2009 and funded 15.9% of total assets.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net Interest Income
Net interest income is the primary source of the Company’s revenue. Net interest income is the difference between interest income derived from earnings assets, principally loans, and interest expense associated with interest-bearing liabilities, principally deposits. The volume and mix of earnings assets and funding sources, market rates of interest, demand for loans, and the availability of deposits affect net interest income.
The net interest margin as a percentage of average earning assets for the first quarter 2009 was 5.23%, the same net interest margin reported for the first quarter 2008. On a linked-quarter basis, the first quarter 2009 net interest margin was down 5 basis points from fourth quarter 2008.
When comparing the quarter-over-quarter results, the following factors contributed to the stability of the first quarter 2009 net interest margin when compared to the first quarter 2008: 1) the activation of interest rate floors on approximately $290,000 of the Bank’s variable rate loan portfolio; 2) the availability of multiple alternative funding sources that permitted the Bank to use the lowest marginal cost of funds; 3) the historically low interest rate environment that allowed short-term funding at an average rate of 0.43% during the current quarter; and, 4) the ability to obtain improved rates on new and renewed loans due to reduced competitive pressures and pricing for risk in a down economy.
When comparing linked-quarter results, the decline of 5 basis points in the first quarter 2009 net interest margin compared to fourth quarter 2008 can be attributed to the strong core deposit growth experienced during the current quarter. In this unusual interest rate environment, the cost of core deposits exceeded the cost of short-term alternative funding, thus the overall impact of the core deposit growth was to increase the Bank’s cost of funds during the current quarter, while earning asset yields remained stable. Table I that follows illustrates this fact. Expectations of continued slow loan growth and core deposit growth, suggests some margin compression during the second quarter 2009.
The following table presents condensed balance sheet information, together with interest income and yields on average interest-earning assets, and interest expense and rates on interest-bearing liabilities for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2008:

Table I shows that earning asset yields for the first quarter 2009 declined by 97 basis points in first quarter 2009 from first quarter 2008 from 7.43% to 6.46%. This decline in earning asset yields was primarily attributable to a 108 basis point decline in yields on average loans, which resulted from the rapid decline in market interest rates during 2008 that lowered yields on the Bank’s variable rate loan portfolio. However, the Bank was able to mitigate a portion of the decline in variable rate loan yields through the use of floors on much of this portfolio. In addition, some of the decline in loan yields was offset by improvement in the yield of the Bank’s securities portfolio, which was up 51 basis points in first quarter 2009 over the same quarter last year.
Table I also shows the spread between the cost of interest-bearing alternative funding and total interest-bearing liabilities has narrowed significantly during the last year from 61 basis points in first quarter 2008 to only 4 basis points in first quarter 2009. Table I also shows the shift in the cost of interest-bearing core deposits compared to short-term alternative funding. During the first quarter 2008, the cost of interest-bearing core deposits was 2.28% compared to a federal funds purchased rate of 3.45%, resulting in a positive spread of 117 basis points. However, during first quarter 2009, this relationship has completely reversed with the average cost of core deposits at 1.54% compared to federal funds purchased rate of 0.43%, which is a negative spread of 111 basis points. To the extent the Bank acquires core deposits at current rates to pay down short-term borrowings, the impact on the net interest margin will be negative.
The following table sets forth a summary of changes in net interest income due to changes in average asset and liability balances (volume) and changes in average rates (rate) for the quarters ended March 31, 2009 and March 31, 2008.

The rate/volume analysis for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 shows that interest income including loan fees declined by $247 from the same period last year. Higher volumes of earning assets increased interest income by $2,217, while lower yields on earning assets, primarily loans, decreased interest income by $2,464. The rate/volume analysis shows that interest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 decreased by $1,782 from last year, as changes in mix and higher volumes caused interest expense to increase by $1,137, which was more than offset by a decrease in interest expense of $2,919 due to lower rates. Most of the decline in interest expense was due to lower rates in the Bank’s alternative funding sources.
Loan Loss Provision and Allowance
Below is a summary of the Company’s allowance for loan losses for the first three months of 2009 and 2008:
| | 2009 | | | 2008 | |
| | | | | | |
Balance, January 1 | | $ | 10,980 | | | $ | 8,675 | |
Provision charged to income | | | 1,500 | | | | 575 | |
Loans charged against allowance | | | (1,320 | ) | | | (120 | ) |
Recoveries credited to allowance | | | 38 | | | | 15 | |
| | | | | | | | |
Balance, March 31 | | $ | 11,198 | | | $ | 9,145 | |
| | | | | | | | |
The year-to-date March 31, 2009 provision for loan losses was $1,500, compared to $575 for the same period last year. The increase in the provision for loan losses was primarily attributable to increased nonperforming loans and net loan charge offs. In addition, the increase in the provision was related to management’s decision to add to its unallocated reserves based on current economic uncertainties.
Year-to-date March 31, 2009 net charge-offs were $1,282 or 0.54% when annualized, compared to net charge-offs of $105 or 0.01% when annualized reported for the same quarter in 2008. On a linked-quarter basis, net charge offs during the first quarter 2009 were up $540 over net charge offs of $742 reported for the fourth quarter 2008.
The allowance for loan losses at March 31, 2009 was 1.16% of the period end loans, excluding loans held for sale, compared to 1.15% and 1.06% at December 31, 2008 and March 31, 2008, respectively. At March 31, 2009, the unallocated portion of the allowance for loan losses was 10.8% and at the high end of the approved range. The allowance at March 31, 2009 includes $764 in specific allowance (included in the ending allowance above) for impaired loans, which total $12,573, net of government guarantees. At December 31, 2008, the Company had $6,132 of impaired loans with a specific allowance of $160 assigned.
The following table shows a summary of nonaccrual loans, loans past due 90 days or more, and other real estate owned for the periods covered in this report:
| | March 31, 2009 | | | December 31, 2008 | | | March 31, 2008 | |
Nonaccrual loans | | $ | 12,828 | | | $ | 4,137 | | | $ | 5,647 | |
90 days past due and accruing interest | | | - | | | | - | | | | - | |
Total nonperforming loans | | | 12,828 | | | | 4,137 | | | | 5,647 | |
Nonperforming loans guaranteed by government | | | (255 | ) | | | (239 | ) | | | (596 | ) |
Net nonperforming loans | | | 12,573 | | | | 3,898 | | | | 5,051 | |
Foreclosed assets | | | 3,618 | | | | 3,806 | | | | 946 | |
Total nonperforming assets, net of guaranteed loans | | $ | 16,191 | | | $ | 7,704 | | | $ | 5,997 | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Non performing assets as a percentage of total assets | | | 1.45 | % | | | 0.71 | % | | | 0.60 | % |
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
During the first quarter 2009, nonperforming assets increased by $8,487 over December 31, 2008 nonperforming asset levels. This increase was primarily attributable to addition of approximately $7,800 in single-family residential construction and lot development loans to three builders in the Portland and Seattle markets.
Noninterest Income
Noninterest income was $1,021 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, virtually flat with the same quarter in 2008. The Company experienced an increase in its service charges on deposit accounts of $72 or 18.3%, which was primarily due to higher hard dollar fee income on analyzed business accounts due to the low earnings credit. However, the increase in this category was offset by declines in bankcard processing fees and the other income category. First quarter 2009 bankcard processing fees were down $36 or 8.4% from first quarter 2008 as sales transaction volumes fell due to current economic conditions. The other income category was down $23 or 30.3% primarily due to a fall in loan filing fees and trustee fees, both of which are related to loan production that weakened during the first quarter 2009
On a linked quarter basis, noninterest income in first quarter 2009 of $1,021 was down $21 from fourth quarter 2008 noninterest income of $1,042. The decrease can be primarily attributable to the seasonal decline in revenues from merchant bankcard processing. Looking forward to second quarter 2009, the Company expects noninterest income to be similar to first quarter 2009. While service charges on deposit accounts and potentially mortgage banking revenues are expected to increase due to the low interest rate environment, bankcard processing fees are expected to continue to drop in second quarter 2009 due to seasonal declines in transaction volume combined with the negative impact of current economic conditions.
Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was $8,050, an increase of $883 or 12.3% over the first quarter 2008. The growth in noninterest expense was due to the following factors: 1) increased personnel expense of $520 or 12.0%; 2) higher FDIC assessment resulting in a $140 or 110.2% increase; and 3) an increase of $164 or 50.6% in business development costs. The increase in personnel costs was primarily related to lower loan origination costs, which are a direct offset to salary expense. Due to the significant decline in loan originations, these costs were down $257 from last year, thus increasing net salary expense. Excluding the impact of lower loan origination costs, total personnel expense was up 6.4% in first quarter 2009 over first quarter 2008. FDIC assessment costs increased as a result of a new fee structure effective with first quarter 2009 reporting. The higher first quarter 2009 business development costs was primarily related to increased advertising expenses as the Bank unveiled new marketing programs, specifically directed at the market segments it serves.
On a linked-quarter basis, first quarter 2009 noninterest expense was up $615 from fourth quarter 2008. The linked-quarter increase was primarily due to lower loan origination costs, which increased net salary expense by $415 and increased FDIC assessments up $203 in first quarter 2009 when compared to fourth quarter 2008. Looking forward to second quarter 2009, the Company expects noninterest expense will be comparable to first quarter 2009 expense levels.
BALANCE SHEET
Loans
At March 31, 2009, outstanding loans net of deferred loan fees and excluding loans held for sale were $964,636, up 11.5% over outstanding loans at March 31, 2008, but up only 0.9% over December 31, 2008 as loan demand weakened during first quarter 2009. Both the Eugene and Portland markets had growth in outstanding loans during first quarter 2009 over December 31, 2008, which was partially offset by contraction in the Seattle market loan portfolio. A summary of outstanding loans by market at March 31, 2009, December 31, 2008 and March 31, 2008 follows:

Securities
At March 31, 2009, the Bank had $73,272 in securities classified as available-for-sale. At March 31, 2009, $58,385 of these securities were pledged as collateral for FHLB of Seattle borrowings, public deposits in Oregon and Washington, and to the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco to support balances in its Treasury, Tax and Loan deposit account. At March 31, 2009, market losses on individual securities were deemed to be temporary in nature.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
At March 31, 2009, the Company had a recorded balance of $22,031 in goodwill from the November 30, 2005 acquisition of Northwest Business Financial Corporation (“NWBF”). In addition, at March 31, 2009 the Company had $817 of core deposit intangible assets resulting from the acquisition of NWBF. The core deposit intangible was determined to have an expected life of approximately seven years and is being amortized over that period using the straight-line method and has approximately four years remaining on the amortization schedule. In accordance with Financial Accounting Standard (“FAS”) 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, the Company does not amortize goodwill or other intangible assets with indefinite lives, but instead periodically tests these assets for impairment. Management performs an impairment analysis of the intangible assets with indefinite lives at least annually. The last impairment test was performed at December 31, 2008. At March 31, 2009, an interim analysis was performed and no impairment was indicated by the analysis.
Deposits
Core deposits, which are defined by the Company as demand, interest checking, money market, savings, and non-public local time deposits, including non-public local time deposits in excess of $100, were $667,482 and represented 91.0% of total deposits at March 31, 2009. During the first quarter 2009, the Company experienced record quarterly growth in its core deposit base as outstanding core deposits at March 31, 2009 were up more than $50,000 over December 31, 2008. This growth was attributable to gains in both new client relationships and the deepening of existing client relationships primarily in the Eugene and Portland markets. A summary of outstanding core deposits and average core deposits by market and other deposits classified as alternative funding at March 31, 2009, December 31, 2008, and March 31, 2008 follows:

Junior Subordinated Debentures
The Company had $8,248 in junior subordinated debentures at March 31, 2009, which were issued in conjunction with the acquisition of NWBF. At March 31, 2009, the entire $8,248 in junior subordinated debentures had an interest rate of 6.265% that is fixed through November 2010 and qualified as Tier 1 capital under regulatory capital purposes. Additional information regarding the terms of the junior subordinated debentures, including maturity/repricing dates and interest rate, is included in Note 12 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s 2008 annual Form 10-K.
Capital Resources
Capital is the stockholders’ investment in the Company. Capital formation allows the Company to grow assets and provides flexibility in times of adversity.
On January 7, 2009, the Company successfully closed a private equity placement raising $9,676 in capital through the issuance of 750 shares of common stock. Detailed changes in the Company’s number of shares outstanding and capital can be found in this report on page 7 in the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Shareholder’s Equity.
During December 2008, the Company was granted preliminary approval under TARP by the Treasury to receive $30,000 of additional capital in the form of preferred stock. During the first quarter 2009, the Company announced it had determined not to participate in this program.
Banking regulations require the Company to maintain minimum levels of capital. The Company manages its capital to maintain a “well capitalized” designation (the FDIC’s highest rating). A “well-capitalized” rating from the FDIC requires that the Company maintain risk-based capital levels of 10% of total risk-based assets. At March 31, 2009, the Company’s total capital to risk weighted assets was 12.24% compared to 11.11% and 10.80% at December 31, 2008 and March 31, 2008, respectively. Details on the Company’s capital ratio can be found in this report in Footnote 7 to the financial statements.
The Company’s Board of Directors reviews its dividend considerations on a quarterly basis so that cash dividends, when and if declared by the Company, would typically be paid in mid-March, June, September, and December of each year. During the first quarter of 2009, the Company declared quarterly dividends of $0.10 per share paid on March 13, 2009 to shareholders of record on March 3, 2009. If the Company maintains the $0.10 per share dividend amount through fourth quarter 2009, that would result in an annual dividend of $0.40 per share, the same as the dividend from the prior year.
The Company expects that earnings retention and existing capital will be sufficient to fund organic asset growth and shareholder dividends, while maintaining a well-capitalized designation from the FDIC.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS AND COMMITMENTS
In the normal course of business, the Bank commits to extensions of credit and issues letters of credit. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments to lend funds and conditional obligations as it does for other credit products. In the event of nonperformance by the customer, the Bank’s exposure to credit loss is represented by the contractual amount of the instruments. Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established by the contract. Since some commitments may expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. At March 31, 2009, the Bank had $158,176 in commitments to extend credit.
Letters of credit written are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee performance of a customer to a third party. The credit risk involved is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. At March 31, 2009, the Bank had $2,268 in letters of credit and financial guarantees written.
LIQUIDITY
Liquidity is the term used to define the Company’s ability to meet its financial commitments. The Company maintains sufficient liquidity to ensure funds are available for both lending needs and the withdrawal of deposit funds. The Company derives liquidity primarily through core deposit growth, the maturity of investment securities, and loan payments. Core deposits include demand, interest checking, money market, savings and non-public local time deposits, including non-public local time deposits in excess of $100. Additional liquidity is provided through sales of loans, sales of securities, and access to alternative funding sources. National time deposits, public deposits, Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings, Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco borrowings, and unsecured overnight fed funds borrowings are referred to as alternative funding sources.
Core deposits represented 91.0% of total deposits at March 31, 2009 and 94.0% at March 31, 2008. Historically during the first quarter 2009, the Company experienced little or no growth in its core deposit base. However, during first quarter 2009, the Company had record growth in core deposits with outstanding core deposits increasing by $51,652 over December 31, 2008 outstanding core deposits. The growth in core deposits during the first quarter 2009 funded all asset growth and permitted the Company to reduce its use of alternative funding. This in turn improved the overall liquidity position of the Company. Historically, the Bank experiences accelerated growth in its core deposit base during the second quarter. If
the typical seasonal growth occurs during second quarter 2009, the Company expects its liquidity position to continue to improve as loan growth is expected to be slow due to current economic conditions.
Borrowing lines have been established at various correspondent banks, the Federal Home Loan Bank of Seattle and with the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco. At March 31, 2009, the Bank had secured and unsecured borrowing lines totaling approximately $506,000 consisting of secured borrowing lines of $335,000 with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Seattle and $53,000 with the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco. In addition, the established unsecured borrowing lines with various correspondent banks total $118,000. The Federal Home Loan Bank borrowing line is limited to the amount of collateral pledged. At March 31, 2009, the Bank had collateral pledged to the FHLB in the form of commercial real estate loans and securities that had a discounted collateral value of approximately $295,000 for this line. The $53,000 borrowing line with the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco is secured through the pledging of commercial loans under the Bank’s Borrower-In-Custody program. At March 31, 2009, the Bank had $176,000 in borrowings outstanding from the FHLB of Seattle and $40,080 outstanding from the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco. In addition, the Bank had $25,000 outstanding on its unsecured overnight correspondent bank lines. The Bank’s portfolio also contains approximately $14,887 in unpledged securities and $31,993 in guaranteed government loans, which can be sold on the secondary market.
As a result of a bank failure in Washington that resulted in a first quarter 2009 assessment of $9 for uninsured public deposits, the Bank began exiting the public deposit markets including the State of Oregon and State of Washington CD programs. These programs provided the Bank with a short-term funding option with maturities from one to six months totaling approximately $33,000 at December 31, 2008. Prior to the end of first quarter 2009, the Bank had completely exited the State of Oregon CD program reducing its outstanding balances by $29,500 through this program. The Bank will exit the Washington CD program in the second quarter upon maturity of all remaining CDs. The Bank will continue to have potential liability for uninsured public deposits in both states for a period of one year following its exit from the programs; however, that potential liability will decline each quarter. Despite exiting the state CD programs, the Bank continues to have multiple alternative funding sources and access to liquidity.
There has been no material change in the Bank’s exposure to market risk. Readers are referred to the Company’s Form 10-K and the Annual Report to Shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2008, for specific discussion.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 240.13a-14(c) and 15d-14(c)) as of March 31, 2009, the date of this quarterly report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s current disclosure controls and procedures are effective and timely, providing them with material information relating to the Company required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act.
Changes in Internal Controls
There have not been any significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors during the first three months of 2009 that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation. We are not aware of any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in our internal controls, therefore no corrective actions were taken.
PART II. Other Information
The following is a discussion of the most significant risks and uncertainties that may affect our business, financial condition and future results.
We cannot predict the effect of the national economic situation on our future results of operations or stock trading price.
The national economy and the financial services sector in particular, are currently facing challenges of a scope unprecedented in recent history. No one can predict the severity or duration of this national downturn, which has adversely impacted the markets we serve. Any further deterioration in our markets would have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects, and could also cause the trading price of our stock to decline.
The current economic downturn in the market areas we serve may cause us to have lower earnings and could increase our credit risk associated with our loan portfolio.
The inability of borrowers to repay loans can erode our earnings. Substantially all of our loans are to businesses and individuals in Washington and Oregon, and a continuing decline in the economy of these market areas could impact us adversely. A series of large Puget Sound-based businesses, including Microsoft, Starbucks, and Boeing, have announced or began to implement substantial employee layoffs and scaled back plans for future growth. Additionally, the acquisition of Washington Mutual by JPMorgan Chase & Co. has also resulted in substantial employee layoffs, and is expected to result in a substantial increase in office space availability in downtown Seattle. Oregon has also seen a similar pattern of large layoffs in major metropolitan areas, a continued decline in housing prices, and a significant increase in the state’s unemployment rate. A further deterioration in economic conditions in the market areas we serve could result in the following consequences, any of which could have an adverse impact on our prospects, results of operations and financial condition:
· | loan delinquencies may increase further, migrating into our substantial commercial real estate and business lending portfolios; |
· | collateral for loans made may decline further in value, in turn reducing customers’ borrowing power, reducing the value of assets and collateral associated with existing loans; |
· | demand for banking products and services may decline; and |
· | low cost or non-interest bearing deposits may decrease. |
Our allowance for loan losses may not be adequate to cover actual loan losses, which could adversely affect our earnings.
We maintain an allowance for loan losses in an amount that we believe is adequate to provide for losses inherent in the portfolio. While we strive to carefully manage and monitor credit quality and to identify loans that may become nonperforming, at any time there are loans included in the portfolio that will result in losses, but that have not been identified as nonperforming or potential problem loans. By managing our credit quality, we attempt to identify deteriorating loans before they become nonperforming assets and adjust the loan loss reserve accordingly. However, because future events are uncertain, there may be loans that deteriorate to a nonperforming status in an accelerated time frame. As a result, future additions to the allowance may be necessary. Because the loan portfolio contains a significant number of commercial and commercial real estate loans with relatively large balances, the deterioration of one or a few of these loans may cause a significant increase in nonperforming loans, requiring an increase to the loan loss allowance. Additionally, future additions to the allowance may be required based on changes in the loans comprising the portfolio and changes in the financial condition of borrowers, such as may result from changes in economic conditions or as a result of incorrect assumptions by management in determining the allowance.
Additionally, federal banking regulators, as an integral part of their supervisory function, periodically review our allowance for loan losses. These regulatory agencies may require us to recognize further loan loss provisions or charge-offs based upon their judgments, which may be different from ours. Any increase in the allowance for loan losses could have a negative effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Concentration in real estate markets could require increases in our allowance for loan losses.
We have a high concentration of loans secured by real estate (see Note 4 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements). While the Pacific Northwest typically lags the national economy, the effects of the economic deterioration are now significantly impacting our market area. Our business activities and credit exposure are concentrated in loans secured by real estate. Further decline in the real estate markets that we serve could negatively affect our business because the collateral securing those loans may decrease in value. A continued downturn in the local economy could have a material adverse effect both on the borrowers’ ability to repay these loans, as well as the value of the real property held as collateral. Our ability to recover on defaulted loans by foreclosing and selling the real estate collateral would then be diminished and we be would more likely to suffer losses on defaulted loans.
Tightening of credit markets and liquidity risk could adversely affect our earnings.
A continued tightening of the credit market and the inability to obtain adequate money to fund continued loan growth may negatively affect our asset growth and liquidity position and, therefore, our earnings capability. In addition to core deposit growth, maturity of investment securities and loan payments, the Company also relies on alternative funding sources through correspondent banking and a borrowing line with the FHLB to fund loans. In the event the current economic downturn continues, particularly in the housing market, these resources could be negatively affected, both as to price and availability, which would limit and or raise the cost of the funds available to the Company.
The FDIC has increased insurance premiums to rebuild and maintain the federal deposit insurance fund and we may separately incur state statutory assessments in the future.
Based on recent events and the state of the economy, the FDIC has increased federal deposit insurance premiums by 7 basis points for the first quarter of 2009. The increase of these premiums will add to our cost of operations and could have a significant impact on the Company. Depending on any future losses that the FDIC insurance fund may suffer due to failed institutions, there can be no assurance that there will not be additional significant premium increases or special assessments in order to replenish the fund.
On February 27, 2009, the FDIC adopted an interim rule imposing an emergency special assessment of 20 basis points on insured institutions, and granting the FDIC the authority to impose an additional emergency special assessment after June 30, 2009 of up to 10 basis points if necessary. The assessment will be calculated on June 30, 2009 deposit balances and collected on September 30, 2009. Based on the Company’s March 31, 2009 deposits subject to FDIC insurance assessments, the special assessment would be approximately $1,500. Subject to the passing of certain legislation that would allow the FDIC increased borrowing from the Treasury, the FDIC has indicated that it would reduce the special assessment by half; however, there can be no assurance that this will occur.
We may be required in the future to recognize impairment with respect to investment securities, including the FHLB stock we hold.
Under the current economic downturn, investment portfolios continue to incur significant unrecognized losses. The Company’s current securities portfolio contains credit risk associated with whole loan private mortgage-backed securities. The Company may continue to observe declines in the fair market value of these securities. The Company evaluates the securities portfolio for any other than temporary impairment each reporting period, as required by US GAAP, and as of March 31, 2009, we did not recognize any securities as other than temporarily impaired. There can be no assurance, however, that future evaluations of the securities portfolio will not require us to recognize an impairment charge with respect to such holdings.
In addition, as a condition to membership in the Federal Home Loan Bank of Seattle (“FHLB”), we are required to purchase and hold a certain amount of FHLB stock. Our stock purchase requirement is based, in part, upon the outstanding principal balance of advances from the FHLB. The FHLB stock held by the Company is carried at cost and is subject to recoverability testing under applicable accounting standards. The FHLB recently reported that it is in compliance with regulatory capital requirements. However, the FHLB has discontinued the repurchase of their stock and discontinued the distribution of dividends. Accordingly, as of March 31, 2009, we did not recognize an impairment charge related to our FHLB stock holdings. There can be no assurance, however, that future negative changes to the financial condition of the FHLB may not require us to recognize an impairment charge with respect to such holdings.
If the goodwill we have recorded in connection with acquisitions becomes impaired, it could have an adverse impact on our earnings and capital.
At March 31, 2009, we had approximately $22,031 of goodwill on our balance sheet. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, our goodwill is not amortized but rather evaluated for impairment on an annual basis or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that a potential impairment exists. Such evaluation is based on a variety of factors, including the quoted price of our common stock, market prices of common stocks of other banking organizations, common stock trading multiples, discounted cash flows, and data from comparable acquisitions. There can be no assurance that future evaluations of goodwill will not result in findings of impairment and write-downs, which could be material.
Our ability to access markets for funding and acquire and retain customers could be adversely affected to the extent the financial service industry’s reputation is damaged.
Reputation risk is the risk to liquidity, earnings and capital arising from negative publicity regarding the financial services industry. The financial services industry continues to be featured in negative headlines about the global and national credit crisis and the resulting stabilization legislation enacted by the U.S. federal government. These reports can be damaging to the industry’s image and potentially erode consumer confidence in insured financial institutions, such as our banking subsidiary.
Current levels of market volatility are unprecedented.
The capital and credit markets have been experiencing volatility and disruption for more than a year. In recent months, the volatility and disruption has reached unprecedented levels. In some cases, the markets have produced downward pressure on stock prices and credit availability for certain issuers without regard to those issuer’s underlying financial strength. If current levels of market disruption and volatility continue or worsen, there can be no assurance that we will not experience an adverse effect, which may be material, on our ability to access capital and on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We cannot predict the effect of recent and pending federal legislation.
On October 3, 2008, Congress enacted the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (“EESA”), which provides the United States Treasury Department (“Treasury”) with broad authority to implement action intended to help restore stability and liquidity to the US financial markets. The EESA also increases the amount of deposit account insurance coverage from $100,000 to $250,000 effective until December 31, 2009.
In early 2009, the Treasury also announced the Financial Stability Plan which, among other things, provides a new capital program called the Capital Assistance Program, which establishes a public-private investment fund for the purchase of troubled assets, and expands the Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility. The full effect of this broad legislation on the national economy and financial institutions, particularly on mid-sized institutions like the Company, cannot now be predicted.
Fluctuating interest rates can adversely affect our profitability.
Our profitability is dependent to a large extent upon net interest income, which is the difference (or “spread”) between the interest earned on loans, securities and other interest-earning assets and interest paid on deposits, borrowings, and other interest-bearing liabilities. Because of the differences in maturities and repricing characteristics of our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, changes in interest rates do not produce equivalent changes in interest income earned on interest-earning assets and interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities. Accordingly, fluctuations in interest rates could adversely affect our interest rate spread, and, in turn, our profitability. We seek to manage our interest rate risk within well established guidelines. Generally, the Company seeks an asset and liability structure that insulates net interest income from large deviations attributable to changes in market rates.
We operate in a highly regulated environment and may be adversely affected by changes in federal, state and local laws and regulations.
We are subject to extensive regulation, supervision and examination by federal and state banking authorities. Any change in applicable regulations or federal, state or local legislation could have a substantial impact on us and our operations. Additional legislation and regulations that could significantly affect our powers, authority and operations may be enacted or adopted in the future, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. Further, regulators have significant discretion and authority to prevent or remedy unsafe or unsound practices or violations of laws or regulations by financial institutions and holding companies in the performance of their supervisory and enforcement duties. These powers recently have been utilized more frequently due to the serious national, regional and local economic conditions we are facing. The exercise of regulatory authority may have a negative impact on our financial condition and results of operations.
