A complete set of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements is a part of the Company’s 2009 Form 10-K filed March 16, 2010. The notes below are included due to material changes in the financial statements or to provide the reader with additional information not otherwise available. In preparing these financial statements, the Company has evaluated subsequent events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. All numbers in the following notes are expressed in thousands, except share and per share data.
Certain amounts contained in the prior period consolidated financial statements have been reclassified where appropriate to conform to 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, 2009 was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures contained in the Company’s 2009 Form 10-K. The interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the December 31, 2009 consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, included in the Company’s 2009 Form 10-K.

At June 30, 2010, there were 36 investment securities in unrealized loss positions, of which 13 have been in a continuous unrealized loss position for twelve months or longer. The fair value of the investment securities in a continuous loss position for twelve months or longer was $7,175. The unrealized loss associated with these securities was $1,205 at June 30, 2010. The projected average life of the securities portfolio is approximately two years. The Company has no intent, nor is it more likely than not, that it will be required to sell these securities before their recovery.
When a security experiences a decline in fair value below its amortized cost basis, it is deemed to be impaired. Management reviews the Company’s impaired investment securities on a quarterly basis for the presence of other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”). We assess whether OTTI is present when the fair value of a debt security is less than its amortized cost basis at the balance sheet date. Under these circumstances, OTTI is considered to have occurred, (1) if we intend to sell the security, (2) if it is “more likely than not” we will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, or (3) the present value of expected cash flows is not sufficient to recover the entire amortized cost basis. The “more likely than not” criteria is a lower threshold than the “probable” criteria used under previous guidance.
At June 30, 2010, no impairment exists on the Company’s securities classified as obligations of U.S. government agencies and obligations of states and political subdivisions. Additionally, the Company’s impaired agency mortgage-backed securities are deemed to have no OTTI, as they retain strong credit ratings, continue to perform adequately, and are backed by various government-sponsored enterprises (“GSEs”). These impairments are deemed to be associated with the changes in market interest rates 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. Although yields on these securities may be below market rates during the period, no loss of principal is expected.
During the second quarter 2010, Management performed a detailed review of its private-label mortgage-backed securities and identified five individual securities which are deemed to have OTTI. Management’s evaluation included the use of independently-generated third-party credit surveillance reports that analyze the loans underlying each security. These reports include estimates of default rates and severities, life collateral loss rates, and static voluntary prepayment assumptions to generate estimated cash flows at the individual security level. Additionally, Management considered factors such as downgraded credit ratings, severity and duration of the impairments, the stability of the issuers, and any discounts paid when the securities were purchased. Based on these results, it was determined that OTTI existed on five securities.
Page 8
The OTTI was divided into two components; the amount representing credit loss and the amount related to all other factors. The amount representing credit loss was $226, and was recognized in the current period against earnings. The amount representing all other factors was $140, and was recognized in other comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes. Management has reviewed all available information related to the collectability of these impaired investment securities and believes that the estimated credit loss is appropriate.
Following is a tabular roll-forward of the amount of credit-related OTTI recognized in earnings:
Three months ended June 30, 2010 | Six months ended June 30, 2010 | |||||||
Balance, beginning of period: | $ | - | $ | - | ||||
Additions: | ||||||||
Initial OTTI credit loss | 226 | 226 | ||||||
Balance, end of period: | $ | 226 | $ | 226 | ||||
Noncredit-related OTTI of $140 was recognized in other comprehensive income during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010.

7. Stock-based Compensation Plans
Incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, or stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) may be awarded to attract and retain the best available personnel for positions of responsibility with the Company and its subsidiaries. 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. Awards granted generally vest over three or four years and have a maximum life of ten years. Awards settled in stock are recognized as equity-based awards while awards settled in cash are recognized on the balance sheet as liability-based awards, both of which are granted at the fair market value of the Company’s common stock at the grant date. Equity-based awards are expensed over the vesting period based on the grant date fair market value. Liability-based awards are expensed over the vesting period based on the current fair market value and an offsetting adjustment is recorded to the liability.
During the six months ended June 30, 2010, 197,926 shares were granted as equity-based awards. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, 268,416 shares were granted as equity-based awards and 95,523 shares

8. Fair Value
The Company adheres to FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) topic 825, “Financial Instruments”, which requires disclosure of the carrying amount and the fair value of financial assets and liabilities. The use of different assumptions and estimation methods could have a significant effect on fair value amounts. Accordingly, the estimates of fair value herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that might be realized in a current market exchange.

Cash and cash equivalents – The carrying amount approximates fair value.
Securities available–for-sale – Fair value is based on quoted market prices. If a quoted market price is not available, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar securities.
Loans held–for-sale – Fair value represents the anticipated proceeds from the sale of related loans.
Loans – For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and have no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values. Fair value of fixed-rate loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities. Fair values for impaired loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses or underlying collateral values, where applicable.
Federal Home Loan Bank stock – Fair value is base on the most recent redemption price. The carrying amount approximates fair value.
Accrued interest receivable – The carrying amount approximates fair value.
Deposits – Fair value of demand, interest-bearing demand and savings deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. Fair value of time deposits is estimated using the interest rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.
Federal funds and overnight funds purchased – The carrying amount approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these borrowings.
Federal Home Loan Bank advances and other borrowings – Fair value of Federal Home Loan Bank and other borrowings are estimated by discounting future cash flows at rates currently available to the Bank for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities.
Junior subordinated debentures – Fair value of junior subordinated debentures is estimated by discounting future cash flows at rates currently available to the Bank for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities.
Accrued interest payable – The carrying amount approximates fair value.
Off-balance sheet financial instruments – The carrying amount and fair value are based on fees charged for similar commitments and are not deemed to be material.

Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted the FASB guidance with regards to ASC 820, “Fair Value Measures”. This guidance 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 is 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.

9. 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 June 30, 2010, that the Company and the Bank meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.
As of June 30, 2010 and according to FDIC guidelines, the Company and the Bank are considered to be well-capitalized. To be categorized as well-capitalized, the Bank must maintain minimum Total risk-based,
Page 21
Tier I risk-based, and Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in the following table. The Bank’s and the Company’s actual capital amounts and ratios are presented below:

The following discussion contains a review of Pacific Continental Corporation’s and its wholly-owned subsidiary Pacific Continental Bank’s operating results and financial condition for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010. When warranted, comparisons are made to the same period in 2009 and to the previous year ended December 31, 2009. 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, 2009, which contains additional statistics and explanations. All dollar amounts, 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 include, but are not limited to, statements about management’s plans, objectives, expectations and intentions that are not historical facts, and other statements identified by words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “should,” “projects,” “seeks,” “estimates” or words of similar meaning. 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. In addition to the factors set forth in (i) this report, and (ii) the sections titled “Business,” “Risk Factors,” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” from the Company’s 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K, the following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from the anticipated results:
· | local and national economic conditions could be less favorable than expected or could have a more direct and pronounced effect on us than expected and adversely affect our ability to continue internal growth at historical rates and maintain the quality of our earning assets; |
· | the local housing / real estate market could continue to decline; |
· | the risks presented by a continued economic recession, which could adversely affect credit quality, collateral values, including real estate collateral, investment values, liquidity and loan originations and loan portfolio delinquency rates; |
· | interest rate changes could significantly reduce net interest income and negatively affect funding sources; |
· | projected business increases following any future strategic expansion or opening of new branches could be lower than expected; |
· | competition among financial institutions could increase significantly; |
· | the goodwill we have recorded in connection with acquisitions could become impaired, which may have an adverse impact on our earnings and capital; |
· | the reputation of the financial services industry could deteriorate, which could adversely affect our ability to access markets for funding and to acquire and retain customers; |
· | the efficiencies we may expect to receive from any investments in personnel, acquisitions and infrastructure may not be realized; |
· | the level of non-performing assets and charge-offs or changes in the estimates of future reserve requirements based upon the periodic review thereof under relevant regulatory and accounting requirements may increase; |
· | changes in laws and regulations (including laws and regulations concerning taxes, banking, securities, executive compensation and insurance) could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial conditions and results of operations; |
· | acts of war or terrorism, or natural disasters, such as the effects of pandemic flu, may adversely impact our business; |
· | the timely development and acceptance of new banking products and services and perceived overall value of these products and services by users may adversely impact our ability to increase market share and control expenses; |
· | changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by the regulatory agencies, as well as the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the Financial Accounting Standards Board and other accounting standard setters may impact the results of our operations; |
· | the costs and effects of legal and regulatory developments including the resolution of legal proceedings or regulatory or other governmental inquiries and the results of regulatory examinations or reviews may adversely impact our ability to increase market share and control expenses; and |
· | our success at managing the risks involved in the foregoing items will have a significant impact upon our results of operations and future prospects. |

Additional factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements are discussed in Risk Factors in 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
We follow accounting standards set by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, commonly referred to as the “FASB.” The FASB sets generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) that we follow to ensure we consistently report our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. References to GAAP issued by the FASB in this report are to the “FASB Accounting Standards Codification”, sometimes referred to as the “Codification” or “ASC”. The FASB finalized the Codification effective for periods ending on or after September 15, 2009. Prior FASB Statements, Interpretations, Positions, EITF consensuses, and AICPA Statements of Position are no longer being issued by the FASB. The Codification does not change how the Company accounts for its transactions or the nature of related disclosures made. However, when referring to guidance issued by the FASB, the Company refers to topics in the ASC rather than the specific FASB statement. We have updated references to GAAP in this report to reflect the guidance in the Codification.
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, 2009 in Item 7 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 June 30, 2010, the Company had $22,569 in goodwill and other intangible assets. FASB ASC 350, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other”, 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 (Commercial Banking).

Share-based Compensation
We account for share-based compensation in accordance with FASB ASC 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation”. 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, share-based compensation expense and our results of operations could be materially impacted.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
On June 12, 2009 the FASB issued FASB ASC 860, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets”. FASB ASC 860 is a revision to preceding guidance and will require more information about transfers of financial assets, including securitization transactions, and where entities have continuing exposure to the risks related to transferred financial assets. It eliminates the concept of a “qualifying special purpose entity,” changes the requirements for derecognizing financial assets, and requires additional disclosures. In December 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2009-16, “Transfers and Servicing – Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets.” This update formally codifies FASB Statement No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets” and provides a revision for Topic 860 to require more information about transfers of financial assets. This statement and update were effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning January 1, 2010. The impact of adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, however all loan participations sold are being thoroughly reviewed to ensure that they meet the criteria for sale treatment.
In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-04, “Accounting for Various Topics - Technical Corrections to SEC Paragraphs”. The amendments in this update were to simplify and improve financial reporting by removing obsolete guidance, eliminating inconsistencies, and providing certain clarifications to reflect the FASB Board’s intent in previously issued guidance. This guidance was effective January 15, 2010. The impact of adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-06, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures – Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements”. This update requires additional disclosure regarding transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2. It also requires the reporting of Level 3 fair value measurements on a gross, rather than a net basis. This includes presenting information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements separately. Additionally, fair value measurement disclosures are required for each class of assets and liabilities, with separate disclosures about valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value. The guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in the Level 3 fair value measurements. These disclosures are effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2010. The impact of adoption of the additional Level 1 and 2 disclosures did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The impact of adoption of the additional Level 3 disclosures is not expected to be material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Page 25
In February 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-08, “Technical Corrections to Various Topics”. The amendments in this update were intended to simplify and improve financial reporting by removing obsolete guidance, eliminating inconsistencies, and providing certain clarifications to reflect the FASB Board’s intent in
previously issued guidance. The FASB Board did not anticipate this update to result in significant changes in practice. This guidance was effective February 2, 2010. The impact of adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In February 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-09, “Subsequent Events – Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements”. This update removed the requirement for an SEC filer to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated in both issued and revised financial statements. Revised financial statements include financial statements revised as a result of either correction of an error or retrospective application of U.S. GAAP. The amendments removed potential conflicts with the SEC’s literature. This guidance was effective February 24, 2010. The impact of adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In April, 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-18, “Effect of a Loan Modification When the Loan Is Part of a Pool That Is Accounted for as a Single Asset”. This update affects any entity that acquires loans that have evidence of credit deterioration upon acquisition, accounts for those loans in the aggregate as a pool under Subtopic 310-30, and subsequently modifies one or more of those loans. Modifications of loans that are accounted for within a pool do not result in the removal of those loans from the pool even if the modification of those loans would otherwise be considered a troubled debt restructuring. This guidance is effective for modification of loans accounted for within pools occurring in the first interim or annual period ending on or after July 15, 2010. The impact of adoption is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In July 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-20, “Receivables: Disclosure about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses”. This update requires additional disclosures on a disaggregated basis on two defined levels: (1) portfolio segment; and (2) class of financing receivable. The disclosures should include credit quality indicators of financing receivables, the aging of past due financing receivables, and the nature and extent of troubled debt restructurings that occurred during the period by class of financing receivables and their effect on the allowance for credit losses. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending on or after December 15, 2010. The impact of adoption is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The Company earned $1,646 in the second quarter of 2010, compared to a net loss of $8,129 reported for second quarter 2009. The improvement in second quarter 2010 earnings when compared to the same quarter last year was primarily due to a lower provision for loan losses of $3,750 in the current quarter versus $19,200 for the same quarter last year. Operating revenue, which consists of net interest income and noninterest income, was $13,749 for the second quarter of 2010, down $834 or 6% from second quarter of 2009. Operating revenue was negatively impacted by the continued decline in loans which contributed to a lower net interest margin, combined with an other-than-temporary-impairment (“OTTI”) of $226 recorded during the second quarter 2010. The decline in operating revenue in second of quarter 2010 when compared to the same quarter last year was partially offset by a drop in noninterest expenses due to lower FDIC insurance assessments and other real estate expense.
Nonperforming assets declined by $5,567 from the end of the first quarter 2010. This decline was attributable to the resolution of a number of problem loans during the quarter. Further resolutions are anticipated during the remainder of 2010.
Period-end assets at June 30, 2010 were $1,175,420, compared to $1,130,238 at June 30, 2009. The increase in period-end assets was primarily attributable to growth in the Company’s securities portfolio as outstanding loans at June 30, 2010 were down from the same period last year. The Company experienced strong growth in core deposits during second quarter 2010 with outstanding core deposits at June 30, 2010 up $66,330 over the end of first quarter 2010. Core deposits, which are defined as demand deposits, interest checking, money market accounts, and local non-public time deposits (including local non-public time deposits over $100) were $841,613 and constituted 93% of June 30, 2010 outstanding deposits and were up 19% over core deposits at June 30, 2009. Non-interest bearing deposits (a subset of core deposits) were $238,436 or 26% of total deposits and 28% of core deposits at June 30, 2010.

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 earning assets, principally loans, and interest expense associated with interest-bearing liabilities, principally deposits. The volume and mix of earning 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 second quarter of 2010 was 4.74%, down 12 basis points from the 4.86% margin reported for first quarter 2010, and down 45 basis points from the net interest margin reported for the second quarter of 2009. Quarterly margins in 2009 have been adjusted to remove FHLB stock from earning assets. The decline in the linked-quarter net interest margin was due to a 14 basis point drop in the yield on earning assets in second quarter 2010 when compared to first quarter 2010. The decline in linked-quarter earning asset yields was primarily associated with the decline in the yield on the Bank’s securities portfolio. On a linked-quarter basis, the cost of interest-bearing liabilities was relatively stable.
The decline in the second quarter 2010 net interest margin of 45 basis points from the net interest margin reported for second quarter 2009 was also attributable to the decline in earning asset yields. The decline in earning asset yields was attributable to the change in mix of earning assets as lower yielding securities constituted 17% of total average earning assets in second quarter 2010 compared to 8% for second quarter 2009.
Despite the elevated levels of nonperforming loans, our net interest margin continues to remain high relative to peers. A number of factors contribute to this performance including the historically low cost of short-term funding, less pricing pressure on loan rates due to changes in the competitive landscape, and the bank’s practice of using floors on variable rate loans which has successfully stabilized loan yields despite the low interest rate environment. At June 30, 2010, interest rate floors were active on approximately $266 million of prime-based variable rate loans.
Looking forward, to the third quarter of 2010, a moderate increase in the securities portfolio is anticipated and some possible contraction in the loan portfolio, which would suggest a lower margin; however, to the extent fewer loans are placed on non accrual status and current nonperforming loans are resolved and return to accrual status, there is potential to lower and recover past quarters reversals of interest that may mitigate any margin compression.

Table I above shows that earning asset yields declined by 55 basis points in the second quarter 2010 from the second quarter 2009 from 6.42% to 5.87%. This decline in earning asset yields was primarily attributable to a significant change in the earning asset mix in second quarter 2010 when compared to the same quarter last year, combined with a 314 basis point decline in the yield on the taxable securities portfolio. In second quarter 2010, average taxable securities-held-for sale yielding 3.02% totaled $180,365 and represented 17% of total average earning assets and loans yielding 6.46% represented 83% of total average earning assets. This compares to second quarter 2009, when the average taxable securities held-for-sale portfolio was $76,830 and yielding 6.16% represented only 7% of total average earning assets, while loans yielding 6.46% represented 92% of total average earning assets.
Table I also illustrates the significant change in funding mix between core deposits and wholesale funding as evidenced by the increase in average interest-bearing core deposits of $86,895 or 17%, combined with a $42,187 or 24% increase in demand deposits in second quarter 2010 when compared to the same quarter last year. On the other hand, due to this significant increase in core deposits the use of wholesale funding declined by $105,043 or 34% in second quarter 2010 when compared to second quarter 2009.
While earning asset yields dropped 55 basis points in second quarter 2010 compared to second quarter 2009, the cost of interest-bearing liabilities declined by only 1 basis point. Table I shows that the cost of interest-bearing core deposits fell by 22 basis points from 1.57% in second quarter 2009 to 1.35% in second quarter 2010, and declines in rates are evident in all core deposit categories. However, the cost of wholesale funding moved up from 1.57% in second quarter 2009 to 2.15% in second quarter 2010. This increase in wholesale funding costs was due to higher rates on FHLB and FRB borrowings as during the first quarter 2010, the Bank exited the use of its FRB overnight borrowing line as the FRB terminated the use of short-term auction advances at a rate of 0.25%. In addition, this increase reflects the Bank’s strategy to extend the maturity structure of its liabilities and refinancing overnight and short-term borrowings into long-term FHLB advances and callable brokered time deposits ranging from three to ten years. This strategy was to mitigate the Bank’s liability sensitive position.

The rate/volume analysis shows that second quarter 2010 net interest income decreased by $559 from second quarter 2009. Second quarter 2010 interest income including loan fees declined by $657 from last year with higher volumes of earning assets, primarily securities, increasing interest income by $751, which was more than offset by lower rates on earning assets that lowered interest income by $1,408. Interest expense in second quarter 2010 was relatively unchanged showing only an $98 decrease. However, the rate/volume analysis does show the impact of the shift in funding with the decline in wholesale funding and increase in core deposits as evidenced by the increase of $20 for interest expense on interest-bearing core deposits, which was offset by a $118 decline in interest expense on wholesale funding.

Table III shows that year-to-date June 30, 2010 earning asset yields declined by 53 basis points from year-to-date June 30, 2009 from 6.47% to 5.94%. The decline in earning asset yields was primarily attributable to a 308 basis point drop in yields on average taxable securities and a change in asset mix, which resulted from the significant level of securities purchased during this historically low interest rate environment.
Table III also shows that the yield on earning assets fell much faster than rates paid on interest-bearing funding, which dropped only 3 basis points from 1.57% to 1.54%. Table III also shows the impact of the significant shift in funding as average year-to-date June 30, 2010 core deposits increased significantly allowing for a reduction in average wholesale funding of more than $90,000.

The provision for loan losses recorded during the second quarter of 2010 was $3,750, compared to $19,200 for the same period last year. This was the fourth consecutive quarter of lower provisions for loan losses when compared to the prior quarter. The year-to-date June 30, 2010 provision for loan losses was $8,000 compared to $20,700 for the same period in 2009. The decrease in both the second quarter and year-to-date provision for loan losses was attributable to a significant decline in net loan charge offs and a stabilization of the level of nonperforming loans.
For the second quarter of 2010 and year-to-date June 30, 2010, net charge-offs were $753 and $3,513 compared to $11,718 and $13,000 for the same periods last year, respectively. When annualized, year-to-date June 30, 2010 net charge offs were 0.75% of average loans compared to 2.72% for the same period last year. On a linked-quarter basis, the provision for loan losses has declined for four consecutive quarters as net charge offs continued to ease.
The allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2010 was 1.97% of the period end loans, compared to 1.42% and 1.94% at December 31, 2009 and June 30, 2009, respectively. The allowance at June 30, 2010 includes $967 in specific allowance (included in the ending allowance above) for impaired loans, which total $39,270 net of government guarantees. At December 31, 2009 and June 30, 2009, the Company had $32,346 and $29,564 of impaired loans respectively with a specific allowance of $1,048 and $4,790 assigned.

In first quarter 2010, the Company experienced a temporary elevation of nonperforming assets over year-end December 31, 2009. This increase was related to the timing of pending resolutions on several nonperforming loans and the entry of new loans to nonperforming status. The Company believes that nonperforming assets crested at the end of first quarter 2010 and will decline throughout the remainder of the year 2010. During the second quarter of 2010, nonperforming assets, although up over year end December 31, 2009, decreased by $5,567 from March 31, 2010 nonperforming asset levels. The decrease in nonperforming assets was related to the resolution of a number of nonperforming loans. In addition, during second quarter 2010, there was significant movement between nonaccrual loans and other real estate owned as net nonperforming loans dropped more than $11,000 from the end of first quarter 2010 and other real estate owned increased by approximately $5,800. This movement indicates the Company is gaining control of collateral associated with nonperforming loans and bodes well for further reductions in total nonperforming assets as the year progresses through disposal of collateral.

Noninterest Income
Year-to-date noninterest income through June 30, 2010 was $1,967, down $251 or 11% from the same period last year. Excluding the $226 OTTI recognized during the second quarter 2010, noninterest income would have been down $25 at June 30, 2010 over last year. Through the first six months of 2010, other fee income, which consists primarily of merchant bankcard fees, was up $111 or 19% as transaction volumes rose significantly in 2010 when compared to last year. In addition, the other income category was up $43 or 9% due to increased fees on business credit card interchange. In addition, during the second quarter 2010, the Company recorded a $45 gain on sale of securities. The increase in these categories was offset by declines in account service charges of $108 and mortgage banking revenues of $111. Account service charges were down due to lower volumes of not sufficient funds (“NSF”) and overdraft (“OD”) fees and a decline in hard dollar fee income from analyzed business accounts. The decline in NSF/OD fees reflects continued trends of lower transaction volumes. The decline in hard dollar fee income on analyzed accounts was the result of higher balances and a higher earnings credit during the first six months of the current year, both of which contributed to lower levels of fees collected on analyzed accounts. The decline in mortgage revenues of $111 was related to a much lower level of new originations as home sales volumes continue to decline and refinancing opportunities have dropped due to the decline in home values.
Looking forward to the third quarter 2010, the Company expects noninterest income will be up over second quarter 2010 as no OTTI is presently anticipated.
Noninterest Expense
Year-to-date noninterest expense through June 30, 2010 was $16,115, down $581 or 3% from the same period last year. The decrease in noninterest expense was primarily due to a $115 decline in salaries and employee benefits, a $225 drop in business development costs, a decline of $232 in FDIC insurance assessments, and a decrease of $464 in other real estate expense. Declines in these categories were partially offset by an increase in the other expense category. The decline in salaries and employee benefits primarily resulted from an increase in loan origination costs of $202, which are recorded as a reduction to salary expense. The improvement in this area was partially offset by an increase in share-based compensation, primarily the result of accruals for cash settled SAR’s. The decrease in business development costs is the result of difference in timing of expenditures during the current year as compared to last year. The decrease of $232 in FDIC insurance assessments was the result of the $510 special assessment recorded during the second quarter 2009. Excluding the special assessment recorded last year, FDIC insurance assessments would have been up $278 over the prior year as a result of both higher premiums combined with higher deposit levels. The increase in the other expense category of $420 was primarily due to increases in legal fees, repossession and collection expense, and on-line banking expense of $253, $62, and $62, respectively. The increase in legal fees and repossession and collection expense was related to costs associated with resolution of problem loans. The increase in on-line banking expense resulted from enhancements to the Company’s cash management products.
On a linked-quarter basis and as expected, second quarter noninterest expense decreased by $312 from the prior quarter primarily due to a decline in personnel expense.
Looking forward to the third quarter 2010, noninterest expense is expected to be flat with or down slightly from second quarter 2010 levels as growth in some expense categories is expected to abate somewhat.

BALANCE SHEET
Loans
At June 30, 2010, outstanding gross loans, net of deferred fees were $903,077, a decline of $59,144 and $41,287 from June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2009, respectively. The overall decline in loans reflects weak economic conditions together with planned contractions in the construction and land development loan portfolios. A summary of outstanding loans by market at June 30, 2010, December 31, 2009 and June 30, 2009 follows:

The decrease in Portland and Seattle loans from December 31, 2009 and June 30, 2009 was primarily related to a planned contraction in residential and commercial construction loans. A portion of this contraction was offset by increased lending in permanent commercial real estate loans and commercial and industrial loans, primarily related to new loans in the health care industry. The Eugene market on the other hand saw expansion in outstanding loans over the prior year and year end December 31, 2009 as this market was not as exposed to real estate lending, thus new production more than offset any contraction.
During the second quarter, the Company experienced improved lending activity with approximately $79,000 in production of which approximately $35,900 were new loans. The Company continued to expand outstanding loans to dental professionals during the quarter as well. In addition to growth in the dental industry, growth was also experienced in the wider health care field with loans to physicians, surgeons, optometrists, family practitioners, and medical specialists.
Detailed information on loans by type may be found in Note 3 on Page 12 of this report.
Securities
At June 30, 2010, the Bank had $188,193 in securities classified as available-for-sale. At June 30, 2010, $30,694 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 quarter end, approximately $22,000 or 11.5% of the total securities portfolio was composed of private-label mortgage-backed securities. During the second quarter of 2010, management determined is was prudent to recognize an OTTI on five of its private-label mortgage-backed securities. The OTTI resulted in a principal write down of $226. Management has reviewed all available information related to the collectability of its impaired investment securities and believes the write down is reasonable. Recognition of additional OTTI on these five securities and other securities in this portion of the portfolio is possible in future quarters depending upon economic conditions.
In Management’s opinion, the remaining securities in an unrealized loss position are considered only temporarily impaired. The Company has no intent, nor is it more likely than not, that it will be required to sell its impaired securities before their recovery. The impairment is due to changes in market interest rates 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. Although yields on these securities may be below market rates during that period, no loss of principal is expected.
Page 37
Compared to the second quarter of 2009, the securities portfolio grew by $102,540. Purchases during this time period were primarily high-quality agency mortgage-backed securities with a mixture of bullet agencies, many of which were zero percent risk-weighted. These purchases were part of a three-pronged strategy to 1) add liquidity to the asset side of the balance sheet; 2) provide earnings in light of declining loan volumes and growth in core deposits; and 3) hedge the balance sheet against a rates up scenario due to the liability sensitive position. At June 30, 2010, the portfolio had an average life of 2.0 years and duration of 1.8 years. Remaining 2010 projected cash flows exceed $74,000 for the next 12 months assuming a flat rate environment. Going forward, the portfolio is expected to increase moderately and purchases will be dependent upon core deposit growth, loan growth, and the Bank’s interest rate risk position.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
At June 30, 2010, 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 June 30, 2010 the Company had $538 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 two years remaining on the amortization schedule. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, 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, 2009 at which time no impairment was determined to exist.
Deposits
Core deposits, which are defined by the Company as demand, interest checking, money market, savings, and local non-public time deposits, including local non-public time deposits in excess of $100, were $841,613 and represented 93% of total deposits at June 30, 2010. Outstanding core deposits at June 30, 2010 were up $135,710 or 19% over the same period last year. All three of the Bank’s primary markets had growth in core deposits over the past year. During the second quarter 2010, the Bank experienced strong quarterly growth of $66,330 in its core deposit base over March 31, 2010 core deposits.

Junior Subordinated Debentures
The Company had $8,248 in junior subordinated debentures at June 30, 2010, which were issued in conjunction with the acquisition of NWBF. At June 30, 2010, 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. In November 2010, the rate on the junior subordinated debentures will be 3-month LIBOR plus 140 basis points. If the current interest rate environment persists, in November 2010, the rate on junior subordinated debentures would fall below 2.00%. Additional information regarding the terms of the junior subordinated debentures, including maturity/repricing dates and interest rate, is included in Note 10 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s 2009 annual Form 10-K.
Capital Resources
Capital is the shareholders’ investment in the Company. Capital grows through the retention of earnings and the issuance of new stock whether through stock offerings or through the exercise of stock options. Capital formation allows the Company to grow assets and provides flexibility in times of adversity.
Shareholders’ equity at June 30, 2010 was $170,758, an increase of $51,398 over June 30, 2009. The increase in shareholders’ equity resulted primarily from successful capital raises during 2009. For additional details regarding the changes in equity, review the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Shareholders’ Equity on page 5 of this report.

The Federal Reserve Board and the FDIC have in place guidelines for risk-based capital requirements applicable to U.S. bank holding companies and banks. These risk-based capital guidelines take into consideration risk factors, as defined by regulation, associated with various categories of assets, both on and off-balance sheet. Under the guidelines, capital strength is measured in three ways, first by measuring Tier 1 capital to leverage assets, followed by capital measurement in two tiers, which are used in conjunction with risk-adjusted assets to determine the risk-based capital ratios. These guidelines require a minimum of 4% Tier 1 capital to leverage assets, 4% Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets, and 8% total capital to risk-weighted assets. In order to be classified as well-capitalized, the highest capital rating, by the Federal Reserve and FDIC, these three ratios must be in excess of 5.00%, 6.00%, and 10.00%, respectively. The Company’s leverage capital ratio, Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio, and Total risk-based capital ratio were 13.21%, 15.75%, and 17.01%, respectively at June 30, 2010. For the same period, the subsidiary Bank’s ratios were 12.38%, 14.75%, and 16.01%, respectively. The Company’s and Bank’s ratios are all well above the minimum well-capitalized designation.
On March 25, 2010, the Company filed a shelf registration statement with the SEC providing for the offer and sale of up to $75 million of securities, including equity, debt and other securities. On April 7, 2010, the SEC declared the shelf registration effective providing the Company with flexibility for future capital planning. At present the Company has no current commitments to sell additional securities.
The Company pays cash dividends on a quarterly basis, typically in March, June, September and December of each year. The Board of Directors considers the dividend amount quarterly and takes a broad perspective in its dividend deliberations including a review of recent operating performance, capital levels, and concentrations of loans as a percentage of capital, and growth projections. The Board also considers dividend payout ratios, dividend yield, and other financial metrics in setting the quarterly dividend.
The Board of Directors, at its May 18, 2010 meeting, approved a dividend of $0.01 per share that was paid on June 15, 2010. If continued for each quarter during 2010, this would result in an annual dividend of $0.04 for each outstanding share of common stock in 2010. The Company has sufficient liquidity to maintain this level of dividend throughout 2010 and 2011 if approved by regulators and would not require any dividend from the Bank to the Company in support of the cash dividend to shareholders.
The Company and the Bank project that earnings retention in 2010 and existing capital will be sufficient to fund anticipated organic asset growth, while maintaining a well-capitalized designation from all regulatory agencies.

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 June 30, 2010, the Bank had $108,563 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 June 30, 2010, the Bank had $1,483 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 through core deposit growth, maturity of investment securities, and loan payments. Core deposits include demand, interest checking, money market, savings, and local non-public time deposits, including local non-public time deposits in excess of $100. Additional liquidity and funding sources are provided through the sale of loans, sales of securities, access to national CD markets, and both secured and unsecured borrowings. The Bank uses a number of measurements to monitor its liquidity position on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis, which includes its ability to meet both short-term and long-term obligations, and requires the Company to maintain a certain amount of liquidity on the asset side of its balance sheet. The Bank also prepares quarterly projections of its liquidity position 90 days and 180 days into the future. In addition, the Bank prepares a Liquidity Contingency Plan at least semi-annually that is strategic in nature and forward-looking to test the ability of the Bank to fund a liquidity shortfall arising from various escalating events. The Liquidity Contingency Plan is presented and reviewed by the Bank’s Asset and Liability Committee.
Core deposits at June 30, 2010 were $841,613 and represented 93% of total deposits. During the second quarter 2010, the Bank experienced strong growth in its core deposit base, which was in line with seasonal trends during this period. The strong growth in core deposits and the continued decline in loans during the quarter combined with moderate growth in the securities portfolio led to an improvement in the Bank’s overall liquidity position. Over the last year, the Bank has built up significant liquidity on the asset side of the balance sheet through growth in the securities portfolio. The securities portfolio represents 16% of total assets at June 30, 2010, compared to 8% at June 30, 2009. At June 30, 2010, $30,694 of the securities portfolio was pledged to support public deposits and a portion of the Bank’s secured borrowing line at the FHLB leaving $157,499 of the securities portfolio unencumbered and available for sale. In addition, at June 30, 2010, the Bank had $40,519 of government guaranteed loans that could be sold in the secondary market to support the Bank’s liquidity position.
Due to its strategic focus to market to specific segments, the Bank has been successful in developing deposit relationships with several large clients, which are generally defined as deposit relationships of $1,000 or more, which are closely monitored by management and Bank officers. At June 30, 2010, 34 large deposit relationships with the Bank account for $286,299 or 34% of total outstanding core deposits. The single largest client represented 5.3% of outstanding core deposits at June 30, 2010. The loss of this deposit relationship or other large deposit relationships could cause an adverse effect on short-term liquidity. During 2009, the Bank implemented a 10-point risk-rating system to evaluate each of its large depositors in order to assist management in its daily monitoring of the volatility of this portion of its core deposit base. The risk-rating system attempts to determine the stability of the deposits of each large depositor, evaluating among other things the length of time the depositor has been with the Bank and the likelihood of loss of individual large depositor relationships. Risk ratings on large depositors are reviewed at least quarterly and adjusted if necessary. Bank management and officers maintain close relationships and hold regular meetings with its large depositors to assist in management of these relationships. The Bank expects to maintain these relationships and believes it has sufficient sources of liquidity to mitigate the loss of one or more of these clients and regularly tests its ability to mitigate the loss of multiple large depositor relationships in its Liquidity Contingency Plan.

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 June 30, 2010, the Bank had secured and unsecured borrowing lines totaling approximately $549,217 consisting of $352,626 in a secured borrowing line with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Seattle, $88,000 in unsecured borrowing lines with various correspondent banks, and $108,591 in a secured borrowing line with the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco. The Federal Home Loan Bank borrowing line is limited to the amount of FHLB stock held by the Bank. At June 30, 2010, the Bank had FHLB stock of $10,652 that would support $238,700 in borrowings from the FHLB. The Bank presently has collateral pledged to the FHLB in the form of commercial real estate loans, first and second lien single family residential loans, multi-family loans, and securities that had a discounted collateral value of approximately $221,100 for this line. The $108,591 borrowing line with the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco is also secured through the pledging of commercial and commercial real estate loans under the Bank’s Borrower-In-Custody program. At June 30, 2010, the Bank had $70,500 in borrowings outstanding from the FHLB, $13,885 outstanding on its overnight correspondent bank lines, and $0 outstanding with the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, leaving $259,191 available on the Bank’s secured borrowing lines with the FHLB and Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco and $74,115 available on its unsecured lines with correspondent banks.
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, 2009, 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 June 30, 2010, the measurement date for purposes 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 changes in our internal controls or in other factors during the first six months of 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. 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 accurately predict the effect of the current economic downturn on our future results of operations or market price of our stock.
The national economy and the financial services sector in particular, are currently facing challenges of a scope unprecedented in recent history. We cannot accurately predict the severity or duration of the current economic downturn, which has adversely impacted the markets we serve. Although some economic indicators are improving, unemployment remains high and there remains substantial uncertainty regarding when and how strongly a sustained economic recovery will occur. Any further deterioration in the economies of the nation as a whole or in our markets would have an adverse effect, which could be material, on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects, and could also cause the market price of our stock to decline.
The current economic downturn in the market areas we serve may continue to adversely impact our earnings and could increase our credit risk associated with our loan portfolio.
Substantially all of our loans are to businesses and individuals in western Washington and Oregon, and a continuing decline in the economies of these market areas could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. A series of large Puget Sound-based businesses, including Microsoft, Starbucks, and Boeing, have implemented substantial employee layoffs and scaled back plans for future growth. Additionally, the acquisition of Washington Mutual by JPMorgan Chase & Co. has resulted in substantial employee layoffs, and has resulted 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, which may be material, on our business, financial condition, and results of operations:
· | economic conditions may worsen, increasing the likelihood of credit defaults by borrowers; |
· | loan collateral values, especially as they relate to commercial and residential real estate, may decline further, thereby increasing the severity of loss in the event of loan defaults; |
· | demand for banking products and services may decline, including services for low cost and non-interest-bearing deposits; and |
· | changes and volatility in interest rates may negatively impact the yields on earning assets and the cost of interest-bearing liabilities. |
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 our loan portfolio. While we strive to carefully manage and monitor credit quality and to identify loans that may be deteriorating, at any time there are loans included in the portfolio that may result in losses, but that have not yet been identified as potential problem loans. Through established credit practices, we attempt to identify deteriorating loans and adjust the loan loss reserve accordingly. However, because future events are uncertain, there may be loans that deteriorate in an accelerated time frame. As a result, future additions to the allowance at elevated levels may be necessary. Because the loan portfolio contains a number of commercial real estate loans with relatively large balances, deterioration in the credit quality of one or more of these loans may require a significant increase to the allowance for loan losses. Future additions to the allowance may also be required based on changes in the financial condition of borrowers, such as have resulted due to the current, and potentially worsening, economic conditions. 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 would have an adverse effect, which may be material, on our financial condition and results of operations.
Page 43
Concentration in real estate loans and the deterioration in the real estate markets we serve could require material increases in our allowance for loan losses and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
The economic downturn is significantly impacting our market area. We have a high degree of concentration in loans secured by real estate (see Note 3 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report). Further deterioration in the local economies we serve could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations due to a weakening of our borrowers’ ability to repay these loans and a decline in the value of the collateral securing them. Our ability to recover on these loans by selling or disposing of the underlying real estate collateral is adversely impacted by declining real estate values, which increases the likelihood we will suffer losses on defaulted loans secured by real estate beyond the amounts provided for in the allowance for loan losses. This, in turn, could require material increases in our allowance for loan losses and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations, perhaps materially.
Non-performing assets take significant time to resolve and adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
At June 30, 2010, our non-performing loans (which include all non-accrual loans, net of government guarantees) were 4.35% of the loan portfolio. At June 30, 2010, our non-performing assets (which include foreclosed real estate) were 4.16% of total assets. These levels of non-performing loans and assets are at elevated levels compared to historical norms. Non-performing loans and assets adversely affect our net income in various ways. Until economic and market conditions improve, we may expect to continue to incur losses relating to non-performing assets. We generally do not record interest income on non-performing loans or other real estate owned, thereby adversely affecting our income, and increasing our loan administration costs. When we take collateral in foreclosures and similar proceedings, we are required to mark the related asset to the then fair market value of the collateral, which may ultimately result in a loss. An increase in the level of non-performing assets increases our risk profile and may impact the capital levels our regulators believe are appropriate in light of the ensuing risk profile. While we reduce problem assets through loan sales, workouts, and restructurings and otherwise, decreases in the value of the underlying collateral, or in these borrowers’ performance or financial condition, whether or not due to economic and market conditions beyond our control, could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition, perhaps materially. In addition, the resolution of non-performing assets requires significant commitments of time from management and our directors, which can be detrimental to the performance of their other responsibilities. There can be no assurance that we will not experience future increases in non-performing assets.
Tightening of credit markets and liquidity risk could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
A tightening of the credit markets or any inability to obtain adequate funds for continued loan growth at an acceptable cost could adversely 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 wholesale funding sources including unsecured borrowing lines with correspondent banks, secured borrowing lines with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Seattle and the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, public time certificates of deposits and out of area and brokered time certificates of deposit. Our ability to access these sources could be impaired by deterioration in our financial condition as well as factors that are not specific to us, such as a disruption in the financial markets or negative views and expectations for the financial services industry or serious dislocation in the general credit markets. In the event such disruption should occur, our ability to access these sources could be adversely affected, both as to price and availability, which would limit, or potentially 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 there may be additional future premium increases and special assessments.
The FDIC adopted a final rule revising its risk-based assessment system, effective April 1, 2009. The changes to the assessment system involve adjustments to the risk-based calculation of an institution’s unsecured debt, secured liabilities and brokered deposits. The revisions effectively result in a range of possible assessments under the risk-based system of 7 to 77.5 basis points. The potential increase in FDIC insurance premiums would add to our cost of operations and could have a significant impact on the Company.
The FDIC also has recently required insured institutions to prepay estimated quarterly risk-based assessments for the fourth quarter of 2009 and for 2010, 2011 and 2012, and increased the regular assessment rate by three basis points effective January 1, 2011, as a means of replenishing the deposit insurance fund. The prepayment totaling $6.2 million was collected from the Bank on December 30, 2009, and was accounted for as a prepaid expense amortized over the assessment periods.
In 2009, the FDIC also imposed a special Deposit Insurance assessment of five basis points on all insured institutions. This emergency assessment was calculated based on the insured institution’s assets at June 30, 2009, totaled $510 for the Bank, and was collected on September 30, 2009.
The FDIC deposit insurance fund may suffer additional losses in the future due to bank failures. There can be no assurance that there will not be additional significant deposit insurance premium increases, special assessments or prepayments in order to restore the insurance fund’s reserve ratio. Any significant premium increases or special assessments could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
We do not expect to continue paying dividends on our common stock at historic levels over the medium term.
Our ability to pay dividends on our common stock depends on a variety of factors. On May 18, 2010, we announced a quarterly dividend of $0.01 per share, payable June 15, 2010, which was a continuation of the prior quarter’s dividend. There can be no assurance that we will be able to continue paying quarterly dividends commensurate with recent levels, if at all. Cash dividends will depend on sufficient earnings to support them and approval of appropriate bank regulatory authorities.
We may be required, in the future, to recognize impairment with respect to investment securities, including the FHLB stock we hold.
Our securities portfolio contains whole loan private mortgage-backed securities and currently includes securities with unrecognized losses. We may continue to observe volatility in the fair market value of these securities. We evaluate the securities portfolio for any other-than-temporary-impairment (“OTTI”) each reporting period, as required by generally accepted accounting principles. In the second quarter of 2010, we recognized OTTI on five of our private-label mortgage-backed securities. There can be no assurance, however, that future evaluations of the securities portfolio will not require us to recognize additional impairment charges with respect to these and other 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. At June 30, 2010, we had stock in the FHLB of Seattle totaling approximately $10.7 million. The FHLB stock held by us is carried at cost and is subject to recoverability testing under applicable accounting standards. The FHLB has discontinued the repurchase of their stock and discontinued the distribution of dividends. As of June 30, 2010, 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 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 June 30, 2010, we had approximately $22.0 million 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. At June 30, 2010, we did not recognize an impairment charge related to our goodwill.
Recent levels of market volatility were unprecedented and we cannot predict whether they will return.
From time to time over the last few years, the capital and credit markets have experienced volatility and disruption at unprecedented levels. In some cases, the markets have produced downward pressure on stock prices and credit availability for certain issuers without regard to those issuers’ underlying financial strength. If similar levels of market disruption and volatility return, 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 operate in a highly regulated environment and we cannot predict the effect of recent and pending federal legislation.
As discussed more fully in the section entitled “Supervision and Regulation” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, we are subject to extensive regulation, supervision and examination by federal and state banking authorities. In addition, as a publicly traded company, we are subject to regulation by the Securities and Exchange Commission. 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
In that regard, sweeping financial regulatory reform legislation was enacted in July 2010. Among other provisions, the new legislation (i) creates a new Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection with broad powers to regulate consumer financial products such as credit cards and mortgages, (ii) creates a Financial Stability Oversight Council comprised of the heads of other regulatory agencies, (iii) will lead to new capital requirements from federal banking agencies, (iv) places new limits on electronic debit card interchange fees, and (v) will require the Securities and Exchange Commission and national stock exchanges to adopt significant new corporate governance and executive compensation reforms. The new legislation and regulations are likely to increase the overall costs of regulatory compliance.
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. Recently, these powers 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.
We cannot accurately predict the actual effects of recent legislation or the various governmental, regulatory, monetary and fiscal initiatives which have been and may be enacted on the financial markets, on the Company and on the Bank. The terms and costs of these activities, or the failure of these actions to help stabilize the financial markets, asset prices, market liquidity and a continuation or worsening of current financial market and economic conditions could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and the trading price of our common stock.

Fluctuating interest rates could adversely affect our profitability.
Our profitability is dependent to a large extent upon our net interest income, which is the difference 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 net interest margin, and, in turn, our profitability. We manage our interest rate risk within established guidelines and generally seek an asset and liability structure that insulates net interest income from large deviations attributable to changes in market rates. However, our interest rate risk management practices may not be effective in a highly volatile rate environment.
We face strong competition from financial services companies and other companies that offer banking services.
Our three major markets are in Oregon and Washington. The banking and financial services businesses in our market area are highly competitive and increased competition may adversely impact the level of our loans and deposits. Ultimately, we may not be able to compete successfully against current and future competitors. These competitors include national banks, foreign banks, regional banks and other community banks. We also face competition from many other types of financial institutions, including savings and loan associations, finance companies, brokerage firms, insurance companies, credit unions, mortgage banks and other financial intermediaries. In particular, our competitors include major financial companies whose greater resources may afford them a marketplace advantage by enabling them to maintain numerous locations and mount extensive promotional and advertising campaigns. Areas of competition include interest rates for loans and deposits, efforts to obtain loan and deposit customers and a range in quality of products and services provided, including new technology driven products and services. If we are unable to attract and retain banking customers, we may be unable to continue our loan growth and level of deposits.
Future acquisitions and expansion activities may disrupt our business and adversely affect our operating results.
We regularly evaluate potential acquisitions and expansion opportunities. To the extent that we grow through acquisitions, we cannot ensure that we will be able to adequately or profitably manage this growth. Acquiring other banks, branches or other assets, as well as other expansion activities, involve various risks including the risks of incorrectly assessing the credit quality of acquired assets, encountering greater than expected costs of incorporating acquired banks or branches into our Company, and being unable to profitably deploy funds acquired in an acquisition.
We may pursue additional capital in the future, which could dilute the holders of our outstanding common stock and may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
From time to time, particularly in the current uncertain economic environment, we may consider alternatives for raising capital when opportunities present themselves, in order to further strengthen our capital and/or better position ourselves to take advantage of identified or potential opportunities that may arise in the future. Such alternatives may include issuance and sale of common or preferred stock, trust preferred securities, or borrowings by the Company, with proceeds contributed to the Bank. Any such capital raising alternatives could dilute the holders of our outstanding common stock and may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
Anti-takeover provisions in our amended and restated articles of incorporation and bylaws and Oregon law could make a third party acquisition of us difficult.
Page 47
Our amended and restated articles of incorporation contain provisions that could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us (even if doing so would be beneficial to our shareholders) and for holders of our common stock to receive any related takeover premium for their common stock. We are also subject to certain provisions of Oregon law that could delay, deter or prevent a change in control of us. These provisions could limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock.
