SOUND FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statement (unaudited)
Note 1 – Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial information is unaudited and has been prepared from the consolidated financial statements of Sound Financial, Inc. (“we,” “us,” “our,” “Sound Financial,” or the “Company”) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Sound Community Bank (the “Bank”). These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X and do not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for a complete presentation of the Company's financial condition and results of operations. In the opinion of management, the information reflects all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP, have been included. The results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes for the year ended December 31, 2009, included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Certain amounts in the prior quarters’ financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. These classifications do not have an impact on previously reported net income (loss), retained earnings or earnings (loss) per share.
Note 2 – Accounting Pronouncements Recently Issued or Adopted
In April 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-18, Receivables (Topic 310): Effect of a Loan Modification When the Loan Is Part of a Pool That Is Accounted for as a Single Asset. This ASU codifies the consensus reached in Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 09-I, “Effect of a Loan Modification When the Loan Is Part of a Pool That Is Accounted for as a Single Asset.” The amendments to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ (the “Codification” or “ASC”) provide that modifications of loans that are accounted for within a pool under Subtopic 310-30 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. An entity will continue to be required to consider whether the pool of assets in which the loan is included is impaired if expected cash flows for the pool change. ASU 2010-18 does not affect the accounting for loans under the scope of Subtopic 310-30 that are not accounted for within pools. Loans accounted for individually under Subtopic 310-30 continue to be subject to the troubled debt restructuring accounting provisions within Subtopic 310-40. ASU 2010-18 is effective prospectively for modifications of loans accounted for within pools under Subtopic 310-30 occurring in the first interim or annual period ending on or after July 15, 2010. Early application is permitted. Upon initial adoption of ASU 2010-18, an entity may make a one-time election to terminate accounting for loans as a pool under Subtopic 310-30. This election may be applied on a pool-by-pool basis and does not preclude an entity from applying pool accounting to subsequent acquisitions of loans with credit deterioration. The Company does not expect this ASU to have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In April, 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-13, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Effect of Denominating the Exercise Price of a Share-Based Payment Award in the Currency of the Market in Which the Underlying Equity Security Trades. The ASU codifies the consensus reached in EITF Issue No. 09-J. The amendments to the Codification clarify that an employee share-based payment award with an exercise price denominated in the currency of a market in which a substantial portion of the entity’s equity shares trades should not be considered to contain a condition that is not a market, performance, or service condition. Therefore, an entity would not classify such an award as a liability if it otherwise qualifies as equity. As the Company’s current share-based payment awards are equity awards
SOUND FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
(exercise price is denominated in dollars in the U.S. where the Company’s stock is traded), this ASU does not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-09, Subsequent Events (Topic 855): Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements. The amendments in this ASU remove the requirement for an SEC filer to disclose a 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. generally accepted accounting principles. The FASB believes these amendments remove potential conflicts with the SEC’s literature. All of the amendments in the ASU were effective upon issuance.
In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. This ASU requires: (1) disclosure of the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurement categories and the reasons for the transfers; and (2) separate presentation of purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). In addition, ASU 2010-06 clarifies the requirements of the following existing disclosures set forth in the Codification Subtopic 820-10: (1) For purposes of reporting fair value measurement for each class of assets and liabilities, a reporting entity needs to use judgment in determining the appropriate classes of assets and liabilities; and (2) a reporting entity should provide disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements. ASU 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning January 1, 2010, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements, which are effective for fiscal years beginning January 1, 2011, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. As ASU 2010-06 is disclosure-related only, our adoption of this ASU in the first quarter of 2010 did not impact our consolidated financial statements.
Note 3 – Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.
It also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active exchange markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.
Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active and other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.
SOUND FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
In determining the appropriate levels, the Company performs a detailed analysis of the assets and liabilities that are subject to fair value measurements. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value of an asset or liability may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. The level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Therefore, an item may be classified in Level 3 even though there may be some significant inputs that are readily observable.
Valuation Methodologies
A description of the valuation methodologies used for certain financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value is as follows:
Mortgage Servicing Rights - The fair value of purchased mortgage servicing rights is estimated using a discounted cash flow model based on market information from a third party. These assets are classified as Level 3. At March 31, 2010, mortgage servicing rights are carried at fair value.
AFS Securities – AFS securities are recorded at fair value based on quoted market prices, if available. If quoted market prices are not available, management utilizes third-party pricing services or broker quotations from dealers in the specific instruments or based on discounted cash flow models. Level 1 securities include those traded on an active exchange, as well as U.S. government and its agencies securities. Level 2 securities include mortgage-backed securities and certain collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs).
Loans Held for Sale - Residential mortgage loans held for sale are recorded at the lower of cost or fair value. The fair value of fixed-rate residential loans is based on whole loan forward prices obtained from government sponsored enterprises. These loans are classified as Level 2 and are measured on a nonrecurring basis. At March 31, 2010, loans held for sale were carried at cost.
Impaired Loans - The fair value of collateral dependent loans is based on the current appraised value of the collateral or internally developed models which contain management’s assumptions. These assets are classified as level 3
Other Real Estate Owned (“OREO”) and Repossessed Assets - OREO and repossessed assets consist principally of properties acquired through foreclosure and are carried at the lower of cost or estimated market value less selling costs. Any write-downs based on the asset’s fair value at the date of acquisition are charged to the allowance for loan losses. After foreclosure, management periodically performs valuations such that the real estate is carried at the lower of its new cost basis or fair value, net of estimated costs to sell. These assets are classified as level 3.

There were no liabilities carried at fair value, measured on a recurring or nonrecurring basis, at March 31, 2010.
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate fair value of each class of financial instruments listed below:
Cash and cash equivalents, accrued interest receivable and payable, and advance payments from borrowers for taxes and insurance - The estimated fair value is equal to the carrying amount.
AFS Securities – AFS securities are recorded at fair value based on quoted market prices, if available. If quoted market prices are not available, management utilizes third-party pricing services or broker quotations from dealers in the specific instruments or based on discounted cash flow models. Level 1 securities include those traded on an active exchange, as well as U.S. government and its agencies securities. Level 2 securities include mortgage-backed securities and certain collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs).
Loans - The estimated fair value for all fixed rate loans (including loans held-for-sale) is determined by discounting the estimated cash flows using the current rate at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and maturities. The estimated fair value for variable rate loans is the carrying amount. The fair value for all loans also takes into account projected credit losses as a part of the estimate.
Loans Held for Sale - Residential mortgage loans held for sale are recorded at the lower of cost or fair value. The fair value of fixed-rate residential loans is based on whole loan forward prices obtained from government sponsored enterprises. These loans are classified as Level 2 and are measured on a nonrecurring basis. At March 31, 2010, loans held for sale were carried at cost.

Mortgage Servicing Rights - The fair value of purchased mortgage servicing rights is estimated using a discounted cash flow model based on market information from a third party. These assets are classified as Level 3. At March 31, 2010, mortgage servicing rights are carried at fair value.
FHLB stock - The estimated fair value is equal to the par value of the stock.
Bank-owned Life Insurance - The estimated fair value is equal to the outstanding book value of policies.
Deposits - The estimated fair value of deposit accounts (savings, demand deposit, and money market accounts) is the carrying amount. The fair value of fixed-maturity time certificates of deposit are estimated by discounting the estimated cash flows using the current rate at which similar certificates would be issued.
Borrowings - The fair value of FHLB advances are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, based on the Bank’s current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.
Off-balance-sheet financial instruments - The fair value for the Bank’s off-balance-sheet loan commitments are estimated based on fees charged to others to enter into similar agreements taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and credit standing of the Bank’s customers. The estimated fair value of these commitments is not significant.
The estimated fair value of the Company’s financial instruments is summarized as follows:

rate levels change, which may be favorable or unfavorable to us. Management attempts to match maturities of assets and liabilities to the extent necessary or possible to minimize interest rate risk.
However, borrowers with fixed-rate obligations are less likely to prepay in a rising rate environment and more likely to prepay in a falling rate environment. Conversely, depositors who are receiving fixed rates are more likely to withdraw funds before maturity in a rising rate environment and less likely to do so in a falling rate environment. Management monitors rates and maturities of assets and liabilities and attempts to minimize interest rate risk by establishing early withdrawal penalties for certificates of deposit, creating interest rate floors for certain variable rate loans, adjusting terms of new loans and deposits, by borrowing at fixed rates for fixed terms and investing in securities with terms that mitigate our overall interest rate risk.
Note 4 – Commitments and Contingencies
In the normal course of operations, the Bank engages in a variety of financial transactions that are not recorded in our financial statements. These transactions involve varying degrees of off-balance sheet credit, interest rate and liquidity risks. These transactions are used primarily to manage customers’ requests for funding and take the form of loan commitments and lines of credit.
Note 5 - Legal Proceedings
In November 2007, Visa Inc. (“Visa”) announced that it had reached a settlement with American Express and Discover Card related to antitrust lawsuits. The Company and other Visa member banks were obligated to fund the settlement and share in losses resulting from this litigation. The Company is not a party to the Visa litigation and its liability arises solely from the Company’s membership interest in Visa, Inc.
In the first quarter of 2008, Visa completed an initial public offering and the Company received $154,000 as part of a subsequent mandatory partial redemption of our Visa Class B shares. Using the proceeds from this offering, Visa established a $3.0 billion escrow account to cover settlements, the resolution of pending litigation and related claims (“covered litigation”).
As of March 31, 2010, the Company owned 5,699 shares of Class B common stock. These shares are restricted and may not be transferred until the later of (i) three years from the date of the initial public offering or (ii) the period of time necessary to resolve the covered litigation. A conversion ratio of 0.71429 was initially established for the conversion rate of Class B shares into Class A shares. If the funds in the escrow account are insufficient to settle all the covered litigation, Visa may sell additional Class A shares, use the proceeds to settle litigation, and further reduce the conversion ratio. If funds remain in the escrow account after all litigation is settled, the Class B conversion ratio will be increased to reflect that surplus. In December 2008, Visa deposited additional funds into the escrow account to satisfy a settlement with Discover Card related to and antitrust lawsuit. In July 2009, Visa deposited additional funds into the litigation escrow account to provide additional reserves to cover potential losses related to the two remaining litigation cases. This deposit reduced the conversion ratio applicable to Class B shares outstanding from 0.71429 to 0.5824 per Class A share.
As of March 31, 2010, the value of the Class A shares was $91.03 per share. Using the new conversion ratio, the value of unredeemed Class A equivalent shares owned by the Company was $302,000, and has not been reflected in the accompanying financial statements.

The amortized cost and fair value of mortgage-backed securities by contractual maturity, at March 31, 2010, are shown below. Expected maturities of mortgage-backed securities may differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

Securities with an amortized cost and fair value of $2.2 million at March 31, 2010 were pledged to secure Washington State Public Funds.
Other-Than-Temporary-Impairment
We review investment securities on an ongoing basis for the presence of other-than-temporary (“OTTI”) or permanent impairment, taking into consideration current market conditions, fair value in relationship to cost, extent and nature of the change in fair value, issuer rating changes and trends, whether we intend to sell a security or if it is likely that we will be required to sell the security before recovery of our amortized cost basis of the investment, which may be maturity, and other factors. For debt securities, if we intend to sell the security or it is likely that we will be required to sell the security before recovering its cost basis, the entire impairment loss would be recognized in earnings as an OTTI.
If we do not intend to sell the security and it is not likely that we will be required to sell the security but we do not expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the security, only the portion of the impairment loss representing credit losses would be recognized in earnings. The credit loss on a security is measured as the difference between the amortized cost basis and the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected.
Projected cash flows are discounted by the original or current effective interest rate depending on the nature of the security being measured for potential OTTI. The remaining impairment related to all other factors, the difference between the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected and the fair value, is recognized as a charge to other comprehensive income (“OCI”). Impairment losses related to all other factors are presented as separate categories within OCI.
As of March 31, 2010, our securities portfolio consisted of non-agency mortgage backed securities with a fair value of $12.4 million, of which, $7.9 million, or eight securities, were in an unrealized loss position. The unrealized losses on U.S. agency securities were caused by interest rate increases subsequent to the purchase of these securities. The unrealized losses on non-U.S. agency securities were caused by changes in interest rates and market illiquidity causing a decline in the fair value subsequent to the purchase. The contractual terms of these investments do not permit the issuer to settle the securities at a price less than par. Because the Bank does not intend to sell the securities and it is not likely that the Bank will be required to sell these securities before recovery of the amortized cost basis, which may include holding each security until contractual maturity, the unrealized losses on these investments are not considered other-than-temporarily impaired.

Note 8 – Mortgage Servicing Rights
On January 1, 2010, the Company elected to adopt ASC 860-50-50-3 Servicing Assets and Liabilities, for all mortgage servicing rights using the fair value measurement method. Management believes that this method better represents the ongoing market value of the servicing asset. In addition to this factor, the Company was previously carrying its acquired mortgage servicing rights portfolio at market value and management believes that it will be more consistent to report all mortgage servicing assets under the same method.
The changes in the mortgage servicing asset is summarized below:

Note 9 – Borrowings
The Company utilizes a loan agreement with the FHLB of Seattle. The terms of the agreement call for a blanket pledge of a portion of the Company’s mortgage and commercial real estate portfolio based on the outstanding balance. At March 31, 2010, the amount available to borrow under this agreement is approximately 35% of total assets, or up to $118.2 million subject to the availability of eligible collateral. The Company had outstanding borrowings under this arrangement of $20.0 million at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009.
The Company participates in the Federal Reserve Bank’s Borrower-in-Custody program, which gives the Company access to the discount window. The terms of the program call for a pledge of specific assets. The Company had unused borrowing capacity of $19.0 million and $17.0 million at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. There were no outstanding borrowings at March 31, 2010 or December 31, 2009.
The Company has access to an unsecured line of credit from the Pacific Coast Banker’s Bank. This line of credit is equal to $2.0 million as of March 31, 2010. The line has a one-year term and is renewable. There was no outstanding balance on this line of credit as of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009.

All of the awards vest in 20 percent annual increments over the next five years. The options are exercisable for a period of 10 years from the date of grant, subject to vesting. Half of the stock options granted to each of the individuals indicated above were at an exercise price of $7.35, which was the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. The remaining half of the stock options granted to each of the individuals indicated above were at an exercise price of $8.50, which was $1.15 above the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. The vesting date for options and restricted stock is accelerated in the event of the grantee’s death, disability or a change in control of the Company.
There were 21,680 exercisable stock options as of March 31, 2010. The aggregate intrinsic value of the stock options as of March 31, 2010 was $0.

General
Sound Financial, Inc. is a federally chartered stock holding Company and is subject to regulation by the Office of Thrift Supervision (“OTS”). Sound Financial, Inc. was organized on January 8, 2008, as part of Sound Community Bank’s reorganization into the mutual holding Company form of organization. As part of the reorganization, Sound Community Bank (i) converted to a stock savings bank as the successor to Sound Community Bank in its mutual form (which was originally chartered as a credit union in 1953; (ii) organized Sound Financial, Inc., which owns 100% of the common stock of Sound Community Bank; and (iii) organized Sound MHC, which currently owns 54% of the common stock of Sound Financial, Inc. Sound MHC has no other activities or operations other than its ownership of Sound Financial, Inc. Sound Community Bank succeeded to the business and operations of the Company in its mutual form and Sound Financial, Inc. has no significant assets other than all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Sound Community Bank, its loan to the Sound Financial, Inc.’s Employee Stock Ownership Plan, and certain liquid assets.
Unless the context otherwise requires, references in this document to the “Company” or “Sound Financial” refer to Sound Financial, Inc. and references to the “Bank” refer to Sound Community Bank (in its stock or mutual form). References to “we,” “us,” and “our” means Sound Financial, Inc. or Sound Community Bank, unless the context otherwise requires.
In connection with the above-mentioned reorganization, Sound Financial sold 1,297,148 shares of common stock in a subscription offering that closed on January 8, 2008. Those shares constitute 44% of the outstanding shares of common stock of Sound Financial. Sound Financial also issued 29,480 shares of common stock to Sound Community Foundation, a charitable foundation created by Sound Community Bank in connection with the mutual holding Company reorganization and subscription offering. The remaining 1,621,435 shares of common stock of Sound Financial outstanding were issued in accordance with federal law to Sound Community MHC, a federal mutual holding Company (“MHC”).
Substantially all of Sound Financial’s business is conducted through the Bank, which is a federal savings bank subject to extensive regulation by the OTS. Sound Community Bank’s deposits are insured up to applicable limits by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). At March 31, 2010, we had total consolidated assets of $337.8 million, deposits of $287.9 million and stockholders’ equity of $25.3 million. The shares of Sound Financial are traded on the Over-the-Counter Electronic Bulletin
Board under the symbol “SNFL.” Our executive offices are located at 2005 5th Avenue – Suite 200, Seattle, Washington, 98121.
Sound Community Bank was originally chartered in 1953 as the Associated Grocers Employees Federal Credit Union. By the late 1980’s, the members of the credit union expanded from employees of Associated Grocers to employees of other businesses. In the 1990’s, the credit union was serving employees of approximately 450 small companies. In 1992, it changed its name to Credit Union of the Pacific. On May 19, 2003, Credit Union of the Pacific converted its charter from a state-chartered credit union to a federally chartered savings bank. On that date the name was changed from Credit Union of the Pacific to Sound Community Bank, and the Company became a taxable organization.
The Company’s principal business consists of attracting retail and small business deposits from the general public and investing those funds, along with borrowed funds, in loans secured by first and second mortgages on one- to four-family residences (including home equity loans and lines of credit), commercial real estate, consumer and commercial business loans and, to a lesser extent, construction and development loans. We offer a wide variety of secured and unsecured consumer loan products, including manufactured home loans, automobile loans, boat loans and recreational vehicle loans. We intend to continue emphasizing our residential mortgage, home equity and consumer lending, while also expanding our emphasis in commercial real estate and commercial business lending. In recent years, we have focused on expanding our commercial loan portfolio (commercial real estate and other commercial loans), which has grown to $101.7 million or 34.2% of our loan portfolio at March 31, 2010, from $77.2 million or 28.1% of our loan portfolio at March 31, 2009.
As part of our business, we focus on mortgage loan originations, many of which we sell to Fannie Mae. We sell these loans with servicing retained to maintain the direct customer relationship and support our emphasis on strong customer service. We originated $16.0 million and $25.2 million in one- to four-family residential mortgage loans during the three month periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. During these same periods, we sold $9.8 million and $22.0 million, respectively, of one- to four-family residential mortgage loans.
We offer a variety of deposit accounts, which are our primary source of funding for our lending activities. In recent years we have also relied on Federal Home Loan Bank advances to augment our deposits and fund the growth of interest earning assets.
The Company’s earnings are primarily dependent upon our net interest income, the difference between interest income and interest expense. Interest income is a function of the balances of loans and investments outstanding during a given period and the yield earned on these loans and investments. Interest expense is a function of the amount of deposits and borrowings outstanding during the same period and interest rates paid on these deposits and borrowings. The Company’s earnings are also affected by our provision for loan losses, service charges and fees, gains and losses from sales of loans, investments and other assets, other income, operating expenses and income taxes.
During 2009, the Company expanded its operations through the acquisition of two branches in Port Angeles and Tacoma, Washington. In July 2009, the Company opened a new branch in Port Angeles. On September 1, 2009, the Company acquired the Port Angeles and Tacoma offices of 1st Security Bank, including $33.6 million in deposits. The operations of the Port Angeles location were moved to the Company’s new Port Angeles branch, and the 1st Security Bank branch location was vacated. The Company’s former branch in Lakewood was closed and the operations were consolidated with the leased 1st Security branch in Tacoma. On March 31, 2010, the Company’s branch in Tukwila was closed and the operations were consolidated with the downtown Seattle branch.
Critical Accounting Policies
We consider accounting policies involving significant judgments and assumptions by management that have, or could have, a material impact on the carrying value of certain assets or on income to be critical accounting policies. We consider our critical accounting policies to be those related to our allowance for loan losses, mortgage serving rights, other real estate owned, and deferred tax asset accounts. The allowance for loan losses is maintained to cover losses that are probable and can be estimated on the date of the evaluation in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. It is management’s best estimate of probable incurred credit losses in our loan portfolio. Our methodologies for analyzing the allowance for loan losses, mortgage serving rights, other real estate owned and deferred tax asset accounts are described in our Form 10-K Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2009.
Comparison of Financial Condition at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009
General. Total assets decreased by $5,000 in the period to $337.8 million at March 31, 2010. The limited overall change was primarily the result of a $10.0 million, or 63.9%, decrease in cash and cash equivalents which was offset by a $7.0 million increase in our loan portfolio, including loans held for sale, from $286.4 million at December 31, 2009 to $293.3 million at March 31, 2010 and the purchase of agency mortgage-backed securities, which increased by $2.5 million or 20.1%, from $9.9 million at December 31, 2009 to $12.4 million at March 31, 2010.
Loans. Our loan portfolio increased $7.0 million, or 2.4%, to $293.3 million at March 31, 2010, from $286.4 million at December 31, 2009. The changes in our net loan portfolio are reflected in Note 6 to our financial statements above. The most significant changes include a 14.4% increase in commercial real estate loans, a 14.5% increase in other consumer loans and an 11.8% decrease in auto loans. The increase in commercial real estate loans during the three months ended March 31, 2010 is consistent with our strategy to diversify our loan portfolio and increase the amount of generally higher-yielding commercial loans in our portfolio. The increase in other consumer loans is primarily a result of a houseboat loan closed in the first quarter. The decrease in auto loan demand is primarily a result of the general state of the economy which is negatively impacting auto sales coupled with aggressively subsidized rates currently offered by auto manufacturers.
Allowance for Loan Losses. Our allowance for loan losses at March 31, 2010, was $4.0 million, or 1.37%, of net loans receivable, compared to $3.5 million, or 1.21%, of net loans receivable at December 31, 2009. The increase in the allowance for loan losses was the result of a $1,425,000 provision for loan losses recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2010, partially offset by net charge-offs of non-performing loans totaling $891,000. This provision was primarily made as a result of increases in our commercial loan portfolio in the 2010 period, as compared to the 2009 period, an increase in our specifically impaired loans and an evaluation of prevailing housing and other market conditions. Non-performing loans decreased to $3.5 million at March 31, 2010, from $3.6 million at December 31, 2009. Non-performing loans to total loans decreased to 1.18% at March 31, 2010, from 1.25% at December 31, 2009. Other real estate owned increased by $520,000, or 37.6% to $1.9 million at March 31, 2010, compared to $1.4 million as of December 31, 2009. This increase is a result of five additional properties taken back by the Bank in the quarter and the sale of three previously held properties. The Company believes that higher non-performing assets and charge-offs will continue going forward until the housing market and general market conditions begin to recover.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Securities. Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $10.0 million, or 63.9%, to $5.7 million at March 31, 2010. Our securities portfolio consists of mortgage-backed securities, all of which are designated as available-for-sale and FHLB stock, which is carried at cost. The securities portfolio increased by $2.5 million, or 20.1%, to $12.4 million at March 31, 2010 from $9.9 million at December 31, 2009. This increase reflects the purchase of agency mortgage-backed securities.
Included in our investment portfolio are $4.9 million in non-agency mortgage-backed securities. These securities present a level of credit risk that does not exist currently with agency backed securities which are guaranteed by the United States government. In order to monitor the risk of these securities, management receives a credit surveillance report which considers various factors for each security including original credit scores, loan to value, geography, delinquency and loss history. The report also evaluates the underlying loans within the security to project future losses based on various home price depreciation scenarios over a three year horizon. Based on this analysis, management does not expect to incur any principal loss on any of these investments as of March 31, 2010.
Deposits. Total deposits increased by $368,000, or 0.13%, to $287.9 million at March 31, 2010, from $287.6 million at December 31, 2009. Decreases in time deposits, money market accounts, and interest-bearing and noninterest-bearing checking accounts were offset by increases in savings and escrow accounts. The $3.3 million or 333.0% increase in escrow accounts were primarily a result of the purchase of a servicing portfolio from Leader financial in the fourth quarter of 2009. The decrease in time deposits and other interest-bearing accounts reflects a bank-wide emphasis to generate additional low-cost deposits.
Borrowings. Federal Home Loan Bank advances remained constant at $20.0 million at March 31, 2010. The weighted average cost of borrowings as of March 31, 2010 was 2.87%, compared to our weighted average cost of deposits was 1.34% at that date.
Equity. Total equity increased $200,000, or 0.80%, to $25.3 million at March 31, 2010, from $25.1 million at December 31, 2009. This reflects a $111,000 decrease in accumulated other comprehensive loss, $58,000 in earnings, $33,000 in stock compensation expense, $27,000 in dividends and a $26,000 adjustment to equity due to the adoption of fair value accounting for mortgage servicing rights.
Comparison of Results of Operation for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2010 and 2009
General. Net income decreased $18,000 to $57,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to $75,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009. Higher interest and non-interest income and lower interest expense was offset by increases in the provision for loan losses and higher non-interest expense.
Interest Income. Interest income increased by $232,000, or 5.1 %, to $4.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 from $4.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The increase in interest income for the period reflects higher overall loan balances, particularly an increase in the amount of commercial loans at generally higher rates.
The weighted average yield on loans decreased to 6.28% for the three months ended March 31, 2010, from 6.33% for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The decrease was primarily the result of overall decreases in the rate environment, which include record lows in the prime interest rate and the 1-year Treasury bill rate, which we use to set and adjust rates for certain variable rate loans. We anticipate our weighted average yield on loans will improve as we continue to emphasize higher yielding commercial real estate and business loans. However, this improvement will also depend on the overall rate environment and our ability to manage credit risk.
Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $740,000, or 38.8%, to $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009, from $1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The decrease for the period resulted primarily from the lower interest rates paid on repricing deposits and FHLB advances as a result of the continued low interest rate environment. Our weighted average cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 1.63% for the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to 2.86% for the same period in 2009.
Interest paid on deposits decreased $636,000, or 38.4%, to $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, as compared to $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The decrease for the three month period resulted primarily from a decrease in the weighted average cost of deposits. We experienced a 134 basis point decrease in the average rate paid on deposits during the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to the same period in 2009, from 2.77% to 1.43%, respectively. This decrease in average rates was a result of the repricing of matured certificates of deposit that the Bank was able to retain at significantly lower rates as well as lower interest rates paid on savings and money market accounts.
Interest expense on borrowings decreased $103,000, or 41.1%, to $148,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 from $252,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The decrease resulted from a decrease in the average balance of outstanding borrowings of $6.8 million, to $20.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, from $27.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 coupled with a lower weighted average cost of borrowings during the 2010 period.
Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased $972,000, or 37.0%, to $3.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, from $2.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The increase in net interest income for the three-month period primarily resulted from higher yields earned on our expanding commercial loan portfolio and decreased interest expense on deposits and borrowings as a result of the falling interest rate environment. Our net interest margin was 4.65% for the three months ended March 31, 2010,which is an increase from the 3.75% for the three months ended March 31, 2009.
Provision for Loan Losses. We establish provisions for loan losses, which are charged to earnings, at a level required to reflect management’s best estimate of the probable incurred credit losses in the loan portfolio. In evaluating the level of the allowance for loan losses, management considers historical loss experience, the types of loans and the amount of loans in the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect borrowers’ ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral, peer group data, prevailing economic conditions, and other current factors. Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans, such as residential real estate, small commercial real estate, home equity and consumer loans, are evaluated in the aggregate using historical loss factors adjusted for current economic conditions and other relevant data. Loans for which management has concerns about the borrowers’ ability to repay, are evaluated individually, and specific loss allocations are provided for these loans when necessary.
A provision for loan losses of $1.4 million was made during the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to provision of $450,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2009. The higher provision was primarily attributable to increases in net charge-offs, increases in our commercial loan portfolio, an increase in our overall loan portfolio and continuing declines in market conditions in the areas where we do business.
At March 31, 2010, the annualized ratio of net charge-offs to average loans increased 17 basis points to 0.67% from 0.50% at March 31, 2009. The ratio of non-performing loans to total loans increased from 0.30% at March 31, 2009 to 0.82% at March 31, 2010.
Noninterest Income. Noninterest income increased $550,000, or 94.0%, to $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, from $585,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The primary reasons for this increase was an increase in mortgage servicing income due to organic growth of our servicing portfolio and the purchase of a servicing portfolio in 2009 as well as a $285,000 fair value adjustment to mortgage servicing rights. Other significant increases in noninterest income included a $145,000 reduction in the loss on sale of assets, a $75,000 increase in gain on sale of investments and a $40,000 increase in gain on the sale of loans sold to Fannie Mae.
Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense increased $579,000, or 21.6%, to $3.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to $2.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The increase in the period was primarily the result of an increase in salaries and benefits of $219,000 due to staffing increases compared to the 2009 period. Additional increases include a $169,000 increase in FDIC and OTS regulatory expenses, an $111,000 increase in occupancy expenses and a $68,000 increase in operations expense. The increases in regulatory expenses are a result in increases in FDIC insurance charges and OTS assessments consistent in the banking industry. The increases in salaries, operations and occupancy expenses are primarily a result of expanded operations in Tacoma and Port Angeles as well as additions to our commercial lending group.
Income Tax Expense (Benefit). For the three months ended March 31, 2010, we incurred an income tax benefit of $7,000 on our pre-tax income as compared to an income tax expense of $7,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 2009.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
In the normal course of operations, the Bank engages in a variety of financial transactions that are not recorded in our financial statements. These transactions involve varying degrees of off-balance sheet credit, interest rate and liquidity risks. These transactions are used primarily to manage customers’ requests for funding and take the form of loan commitments and lines of credit.
A summary of our off-balance sheet commitments to extend credit at March 31, 2010, is as follows:
Off-balance sheet loan commitments: | | | |
Commitments to make loans | | $ | 3,517,000 | |
Undisbursed portion of loans closed | | | 3,071,000 | |
Unused lines of credit | | | 29,865,000 | |
Irrevocable letters of credit | | | 265,000 | |
Total loan commitments | | $ | 36,718,000 | |
Liquidity
Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term function of the management of the Company and the Bank. Excess liquidity is generally invested in short-term investments, such as overnight deposits and federal funds. On a longer term basis, we maintain a strategy of investing in various lending products and investment securities, including mortgage-backed securities. The Bank uses its sources of funds primarily to meet its ongoing commitments, pay maturing deposits, fund deposit withdrawals and fund loan commitments.
We maintain cash and investments that qualify as liquid assets to maintain adequate liquidity to ensure safe and sound operation and meet demands for funds (particularly withdrawals of deposits). At March 31, 2010, the Company had $18.0 million in cash and investment securities available for sale and $2.3 million in loans held for sale which are generally available for its short-term cash needs. We can also generate funds from borrowings, primarily FHLB. At March 31, 2010, the Bank had the ability to borrow an additional $86.5 million in FHLB advances.
At March 31, 2010, we had $36.7 million in outstanding loan commitments, including unused lines of credit and unfunded letters of credit. Certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in one year or less at March 31, 2010, totaled $93.5 million and have a weighted average cost of 2.3%. It is management’s policy to maintain deposit rates that are competitive with other local financial institutions. Based on this management strategy and our own experience, we believe that a majority of maturing
deposits will remain with the Bank. We do not utilize wholesale or brokered deposits to meet our funding needs. For additional information on liquidity refer to the statement of cash flows.
Capital
The Bank is subject to minimum capital requirements imposed by the Office of Thrift Supervision (“OTS”). Based on its capital levels at March 31, 2010, the Bank exceeded these requirements as of that date and continues to exceed them as of the date of this filing. Consistent with our goals to operate a sound and profitable organization, our policy is for the Bank to maintain a “well-capitalized” status under the capital categories of the OTS. Based on capital levels at March 31, 2010, the Bank was considered to be well-capitalized. Management monitors the capital levels of the Bank to provide for current and future business opportunities and to meet regulatory guidelines for “well-capitalized” institutions.
The following table shows the capital ratios of the Bank at March 31, 2010:
| | | | | Minimum Capital Requirements | | | Minimum Required to Be Well-Capitalized Under Prompt Corrective Action Provisions | |

Item 4 Controls and Procedures
| (a) | Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. |
An evaluation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a -15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Act") as of March 31, 2010, was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and several other members of the Company's senior management. The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2010, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Act is: (i) accumulated and communicated to the Company's management (including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer) in a timely manner, and (ii) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.
We intend to continually review and evaluate the design and effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures and to improve the Company’s controls and procedures over time and
to correct any deficiencies that we may discover in the future. The goal is to ensure that senior management has timely access to all material financial and non-financial information concerning the Company's business. While we believe the present design of the disclosure controls and procedures is effective to achieve this goal, future events affecting our business may cause the Company to modify its disclosure controls and procedures.
The Company does not expect that its disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all error and all fraud. A control procedure, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control procedure are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control procedures, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any control procedure is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control procedure, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
| (b) | Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting. |
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a - 15(f) under the Act) that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2010, that has materially affected, or is likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
