PART I

BUSINESS

GENERAL

Oregon Pacific Bancorp (“Bancorp”), an Oregon Corporation and financial holding company, became the holding company of Oregon Pacific Banking Co. (the “Bank”) (collectively “the Company”) effective January 1, 2003. The Company is headquartered in Florence, Oregon.

The Bank is an Oregon banking corporation organized under the Oregon Bank Act on December 17, 1979. The Bank is a full-service commercial bank that provides a broad range of depository and lending services to commercial enterprises, governmental entities and individuals from its main office and a full-service Safeway store branch in Florence plus two branches in Roseburg, and Coos Bay, Oregon. Additional financial services provided by the Bank include trust and asset management services and investment and brokerage services.

The Company operates through a two-tiered corporate structure. At the holding company level the affairs of Bancorp are overseen by a Board of Directors elected by the shareholders of Bancorp at the annual meeting of shareholders. The business of the Bank is overseen by a Board of Directors of the Bank, selected by the Board of Directors of Bancorp, the sole owner of the Bank. Currently the respective members of the Board of Directors of Bancorp and the Bank are identical.


BUSINESS STRATEGY

The Company’s strategy is to build on the Bank’s position as a leading community-based provider of financial services in its service areas. The key to success of this strategy is to continue to give exceptional personal service to our customers by providing a high level of service with prompt, accurate, and friendly banking services and by supporting and participating in the activities of the communities we serve. The Bank seeks to maintain high asset quality through strict adherence to established credit policies, trained personnel, and periodic loan reviews. The Bank’s primary marketing focus is on small to medium-sized businesses and on professionals and individuals in Florence, Coos Bay, Roseburg, and other coastal and inland regions in Oregon.

CONSUMER PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

The Bank offers a broad range of deposit and loan products and services tailored to meet the banking requirements of its service areas. Some of these are detailed below.

Deposit Products. The Bank’s consumer deposit products include several noninterest-bearing checking account products priced at various levels, interest-bearing checking and savings accounts, money market accounts, and certificates of deposit. These accounts generally earn interest at rates established by management based on competitive market factors and management’s desire to increase certain types or maturities of deposit liabilities. The Bank strives to establish customer relations to attract core deposits in noninterest-bearing transactional accounts, which reduces its cost of funds.

Technology-Based Products and Services. The Bank uses both traditional and new technology to support its focus on personal service. The Bank now offers on-line real-time Internet banking services through its dedicated website at http://www.opbc.com. Additionally, the Bank offers “Banking on Call”, an interactive voice response system through which customers can check account balances and activity, as well as initiate money transfers between their accounts. Automated Teller Machines (ATMs) are located at each of the four branch locations, as well as two machines in non-Bank locations. Visa debit cards are also offered, providing customers with free access to their deposit account balances at point of sale locations throughout most of the world.

Consumer Loans. Although the Bank does not actively solicit consumer loans, the Bank provides loans to individual borrowers, as a convenience to existing customers, for a variety of purposes including secured and unsecured personal loans, home equity and personal lines of credit, and motor vehicle loans.

Senior Customer Services. Since a significant portion of the Bank’s consumer market, especially in Florence, consists of senior citizens the Bank offers several special products and programs aimed at this group. These include a reduced rate checking account and other products targeted to the senior market. The Bank also services customers living at Spruce Point, an assisted living facility in Florence, via its mobile branch.

Overdraft Protection. Overdraft Protection is a service that provides qualified customers with virtually automatic protection by establishing an overdraft privilege amount. Each checking account usually receives an Overdraft Protection amount of $300 or $500 based on the type of account and other parameters. Once established, customers are permitted to overdraw their checking account, up to their Overdraft Protection limit, with each item being charged the Bank’s regular overdraft fee. Customers repay the overdraft with their next deposit. Overdraft Protection is designed to protect customers from the embarrassment of having checks declined because of non-sufficient funds.


Investment Products. Through an arrangement with a registered securities broker-dealer, an investment and brokerage service department under the assumed name “Oregon Pacific Financial Services” offers a wide range of financial products and services to consumers in Florence at their new building located at 733 Highway 101 and at its Roseburg branch. Mutual funds, traditional and Roth IRAs, SEPs, tax sheltered annuities, and other financial products and retirement planning services are available. In December the Bank changed its registered securities broker-dealer from UVEST Investment Services to LPL Financial Services, the number one independent broker dealer in the nation for the last ten years.

Trust and Asset Management Services. The Bank operates a full service trust department located at its main branch and in Coos Bay. The department functions as a trustee for irrevocable trusts, agent for living trusts and estate settlement, or custodian for self-directed IRAs.

Other Services. Other services offered include safe deposit boxes in Florence; letters of credit; travelers’ checks; direct deposit of payroll, social security and dividend payments; and automatic payment of insurance premiums and mortgage loans.

LENDING ACTIVITIES

The Bank provides a broad range of real estate and commercial lending services. Currently, the primary focus of the Bank’s lending activities involves residential real estate financing, both for its own loan portfolio and for resale in the secondary market, and commercial loans, including loans to professionals and real estate construction loans.

Mortgage Loans. The Bank originates conventional and federally insured residential mortgage loans, mostly for sale in the secondary market. The Bank has mortgage loan representation in Florence, Roseburg, and Coos Bay. The Bank believes that its local decision-making, which allows for quick response to a mortgage loan request, and sales of loans to the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac) that are serviced locally, provide personalized, quality service to its customers.

Real Estate Construction Loans. The Bank makes construction loans to individuals and contractors to construct single-family primary residences or second homes and, to a much lesser extent, small multi-family residential projects. These loans generally have maturities of 6 to 9 months. Interest rates are typically adjustable, although fixed-rate loans are also made under appropriate conditions.

Construction financing generally is considered to involve a higher degree of risk than long-term financing on improved, occupied real estate. The risk of loss on construction loans depends largely on the accuracy of the initial estimate of the property’s value at completion of construction or development and the estimated cost (including interest) of construction. If the estimate of construction costs proves to be inaccurate, the Bank may be required to advance funds beyond the amount originally committed to permit completion of the project and to protect its security position. At or prior to maturity of the loan, the Bank may also be confronted with a project with insufficient value to ensure full repayment. The Bank’s underwriting, monitoring and disbursement practices for construction financing are intended to ensure that sufficient funds are available to complete the construction projects. The Bank endeavors to limit its risk through underwriting procedures requiring the use of only approved, qualified appraisers, dealing only with qualified builders/borrowers, and closely monitoring construction projects through completion and sale.


Commercial Loans. The Bank offers customized loans to its commercial customers including operational lines of credit, equipment, accounts receivable, and inventory financing. Commercial real estate loans are available for the construction, purchasing, and refinancing of commercial and rental properties. A significant portion of the Bank’s loan portfolio consists of commercial loans. Lending decisions are based on careful evaluation of the financial strength, management, and credit history of the borrower and the quality of the collateral securing the loan. The Bank typically requires personal guarantees and secondary sources of repayment. Most commercial loans are secured by real property, although such loans may finance other commercial activities. Where warranted by the borrower’s overall financial condition, loans may be made on an unsecured basis. 

For all of its loans, the Bank at all times seeks to maintain sound loan underwriting standards with written loan policies, appropriate individual limits, and loan committee reviews. In the case of large loan commitments or loan participations, loans are reviewed by the loan committee of the Board of Directors. Underwriting standards are designed to achieve a high-quality loan portfolio, compliance with lending regulations, and the desired mix of loan maturities and industry concentrations. Management seeks to minimize credit losses by closely monitoring the financial condition of its borrowers and the value of collateral.

MARKETING

The Bank’s ability to increase its market share is driven by a marketing plan consisting of several key components. A principal objective is to offer appropriate products and services to existing customers and attempt to increase the business relationships the Bank shares with these customers. The Bank regularly examines the desirability and profitability of adding new products and services to those currently offered. The Bank promotes specific products by media advertising, but relies also on referrals and direct contacts for new business. The Bank recognizes the importance of community service and supports employee involvement in community activities. This participation allows the Bank to make a contribution to the communities it serves, which management believes increases its visibility in its market area and thereby increases business opportunities.

COMPETITION

The market for banking services, including deposit and loan products, is highly competitive. The Bank’s competitors for deposits are commercial banks, savings and loan associations, credit unions, money market funds, issuers of corporate and government securities, insurance companies, brokerage firms, mutual funds, and other financial service providers. These competitors may offer deposit rates greater than the Bank can or is willing to offer. The Bank competes for deposits by offering a variety of accounts at rates generally competitive with financial institutions in its market areas.


The Bank’s competition for loans comes principally from commercial banks, savings and loan associations, mortgage companies, finance companies, insurance companies, credit unions, and other institutional lenders. The Bank competes for loan originations through the level of interest rates and loan fees charged, its array of commercial and mortgage loan products, and the efficiency and quality of its services to borrowers. Lending activity can also be affected by the availability of lendable funds, local and national economic conditions, current interest rate levels, and loan demand. The Bank competes with larger commercial banks by emphasizing a community bank orientation and efficient personal service to customers.

Another source of competition is the array of online banking services offered by traditional commercial banks and other financial service providers, and by newly formed companies that use the Internet to advertise and sell competing products. The Bank has online banking services on a real-time basis providing instant balances compared to most financial providers having only nightly updates. Bank management believes, however, that most of its customers will continue to want the personal, locally-based services that it offers.

The Bank believes its philosophy of offering financial services with a personal touch in conjunction with modern technology enables it to compete effectively with other financial service providers. The Bank’s lending officers and senior management have significant experience in their respective marketplaces enabling them to maintain close working relationships with their customers. Management believes that this positions the Bank to succeed in spite of competitors potentially having branches in more locations, larger lending capabilities due to their greater size, or capabilities to provide other services, such as international banking services, that the Bank does not provide.

EMPLOYEES

As of December 31, 2005, the Bank had 92 full-time equivalent employees compared to 88 at December 31, 2004. None of the employees are represented by a collective bargaining group. Management considers its relations with employees to be good.

WEBSITE ACCESS TO PUBLIC FILINGS

The Company began filing period and other required reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission in 2003. These filings, including exhibits, may be accessed over the Internet through the website maintained by the Securities and Exchange Commission at http://www.sec.gov. No Internet access to the Bank’s filings with the Federal Reserve Bank prior to 2003 is available.
 
SUPERVISION AND REGULATION

GENERAL

The Company is extensively regulated under federal and state law. These laws and regulations are primarily intended to protect depositors, not shareholders of Bancorp. The discussion below describes and summarizes certain statutes and regulations. These descriptions and summaries are qualified in their entirety by reference to the particular statute or regulation. Any change in applicable laws or regulations may have a material effect on the business and prospects of the Bank. The operations of the Bank may also be affected by changes in the policies of banking and other government regulators. Management cannot accurately predict the nature or extent of the effects on its business and earnings that fiscal or monetary policies, or new federal or state laws, including tax laws, may have in the future.


FEDERAL AND STATE BANK REGULATION

General. The Bank is an Oregon state-chartered bank, with deposits insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC”). The Bank is a Federal Reserve member bank. Accordingly, the Bank files financial and other reports periodically with, and is regularly examined by, the Oregon Director of Banks (“Oregon Director”), FDIC, and the Federal Reserve.

CRA. The Community Reinvestment Act (the "CRA") requires that, in connection with examinations of financial institutions within their jurisdiction, the Federal Reserve or the FDIC evaluate the record of the financial institutions in meeting the credit needs of their local communities, including low and moderate income neighborhoods, consistent with the safe and sound operation of those banks.

Insider Credit Transactions. Banks are also subject to certain restrictions imposed by the Federal Reserve Act on extensions of credit to executive officers, directors, principal Bancorp shareholders, or any related interests of such persons. Extensions of credit (i) must be made on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, and follow credit underwriting procedures that are not less stringent than those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with persons not covered above and who are not employees; and (ii) must not involve more than the normal risk of repayment or present other unfavorable features. Banks are also subject to certain lending limits and restrictions on overdrafts to such persons. A violation of these restrictions may result in the assessment of substantial civil monetary penalties on the affected bank or any officer, director, employee, agent, or other person participating in the conduct of the affairs of that bank, the imposition of a cease and desist order, and other regulatory sanctions.

FDICIA. Under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act (the "FDICIA"), each federal banking agency has prescribed, by regulation, non-capital safety and soundness standards for institutions under its authority. These standards cover internal controls, information systems, internal audit systems, loan documentation, credit underwriting, interest rate exposure, asset growth, compensation, fees and benefits, such other operational and managerial standards as the agency determines to be appropriate, and standards for asset quality, earnings and stock valuation. An institution which fails to meet these standards must develop a plan acceptable to the agency, specifying the steps that the institution will take to meet the standards. Failure to submit or implement such a plan may subject the institution to regulatory sanctions. Management believes that the Bank meets all such standards, and therefore, does not believe that these regulatory standards materially affect the Bank’s business operations.

INTERSTATE BANKING LEGISLATION

Under the Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994 (the "Interstate Act"), bank holding companies are permitted to acquire banks located in any state regardless of the state law in effect at the time. The Interstate Act also provides for the nationwide interstate branching of banks. Under the Interstate Act, both national and state chartered banks, including Oregon, are permitted to merge across state lines and thereby create interstate branch networks.


BANK HOLDING COMPANY REGULATION - FEDERAL REGULATIONS

As a bank holding company, Bancorp is subject to the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 (“BHCA”), as amended, which places the Company under the supervision of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (“FRB”). BHCA limits the business of bank holding companies to owning or controlling banks and engaging in other activities related to banking.

The Company must obtain the approval of the FRB: (1) before acquiring direct or indirect ownership or control of any voting shares of any bank if, after such acquisition, it would own or control, directly or indirectly, more than 5% of the voting shares of such a bank; (2) before merging or consolidating with another bank holding company; and (3) before acquiring substantially all of the assets of any additional banks. The Company is also required by the BHCA to file annual and quarterly reports and such other reports as may be required from time to time by the FRB. In addition, the FRB conducts periodic examinations of the Company.

Under FRB policy, a bank holding company is expected to act as a source of financial and managerial strength to, and commit resources to support, each of its subsidiaries. Any capital loans the Company makes to its subsidiary are subordinate to deposits and to certain other indebtedness of the subsidiary. The Crime Control Act of 1990 provides that, in the event of a bank holding company’s bankruptcy, the bankruptcy trustee will assume any commitment the bank holding company has made to a federal bank regulatory agency to maintain the capital of a subsidiary and this obligation will be entitled to a priority of payment.

Bancorp and its subsidiary are prohibited from engaging in certain tie-in arrangements in connection with any extension of credit, sale or lease of property or furnishing of services. For example, with certain exceptions, neither Bancorp nor its subsidiary may condition an extension of credit to a customer on either (1) a requirement that the customer obtain additional services provided by it or (2) an agreement by the customer to refrain from obtaining other services from a competitor. The bank anti-tying rules do not apply to the non-bank subsidiaries of a bank holding company.

The Change in Bank Control Act of 1978, as amended, prohibits a person or group of persons from acquiring “control” of a bank holding company unless the FRB has been given 60 days prior written notice of the proposed acquisition, and within that time period, the FRB has not issued a notice disapproving the proposed acquisition, or extended for up to another 30 days the period during which such a disapproval may be issued. An acquisition may be made prior to the expiration of the disapproval period if the FRB issues written notice of its intent not to disapprove the action. Under a reputable presumption established by the FRB, the acquisition of 10% or more of a class of voting stock of a bank holding company with a class of securities registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act would, under the circumstances set forth in the presumption, constitute the acquisition of control. In addition, any “company” would be required to obtain the approval of the FRB under the BHCA before acquiring 25% (5% if the “company” is a bank holding company) or more of the outstanding shares of Bancorp, or obtain control over the Company.


BANK HOLDING COMPANY REGULATION - STATE REGULATIONS

As corporations chartered under the laws of the State of Oregon, the Company is subject to certain limitations and restrictions under applicable Oregon corporate law. These include limitations and restrictions relating to indemnification of directors, distributions to shareholders, transactions involving directors, officers or interested shareholders, maintenance of books, records, and minutes, and observance of certain corporate formalities.

DEPOSIT INSURANCE

The deposits of the Bank are currently insured to a maximum of $100,000 per depositor through the Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF") administered by the FDIC. The Bank is required to pay quarterly deposit insurance premium assessments to the FDIC.

The FDICIA includes provisions to reform the Federal Deposit Insurance System, including the implementation of risk-based deposit insurance premiums. The FDICIA also permits the FDIC to make special assessments on insured depository institutions in amounts determined by the FDIC to be necessary to give it adequate assessment income to repay amounts borrowed from the U.S. Treasury and other sources, or for any other purpose the FDIC deems necessary. The FDIC has implemented a risk-based insurance premium system under which banks are assessed insurance premiums based on how much risk they present to the BIF. Banks with higher levels of capital and a low degree of supervisory concern are assessed lower premiums than banks with lower levels of capital or a higher degree of supervisory concern. The Bank’s FDIC insurance expense for 2005 was approximately $15,000.

REGULATORY DIVIDEND RESTRICTIONS

The payment of dividends is subject to government regulation, in that regulatory authorities may prohibit banks and bank holding companies from paying dividends which would constitute an unsafe or unsound banking practice. In addition, a bank may not pay cash dividends if that payment could reduce the amount of its capital below that necessary to meet minimum applicable regulatory capital requirements. Also, under the Oregon Bank Act, the Oregon Director may suspend the payment of dividends if it is determined that the payment would cause a bank's remaining stockholders’ equity to be inadequate for the safe and sound operation of the bank. Other than the laws and regulations noted above, which apply to all banks and bank holding companies, the Company is not currently subject to any regulatory restrictions on its dividends.

CAPITAL ADEQUACY

Federal bank regulatory agencies use capital adequacy guidelines in the examination and regulation of bank holding companies and banks. If capital falls below minimum guideline levels, the holding company or bank may be denied approval to acquire or establish additional banks or non-bank businesses or to open new facilities.


The FDIC and Federal Reserve use risk-based capital guidelines for banks and bank holding companies. These are designed to make such capital requirements more sensitive to differences in risk profiles among banks and bank holding companies, to account for off-balance sheet exposure, and to minimize disincentives for holding liquid assets. Assets and off-balance sheet items are assigned to broad risk categories, each with appropriate weights. The resulting capital ratios represent capital as a percentage of total risk-weighted assets and off-balance sheet items. The guidelines are minimums, and the Federal Reserve has noted that banks and bank holding companies contemplating significant expansion programs should not allow expansion to diminish their capital ratios and should maintain ratios well in excess of the minimum. The current guidelines require all bank holding companies and federally regulated banks to maintain a minimum risk-based total capital ratio equal to 8%, of which at least 4% must be Tier I capital.

Tier I capital for state member banks includes common shareholders' equity, qualifying noncumulative perpetual preferred stock, and minority interests in equity accounts of consolidated subsidiaries, less certain intangible assets. Tier II capital includes: (i) the allowance for loan losses of up to 1.25% of risk-weighted assets; (ii) any qualifying perpetual preferred stock which exceeds the amount which may be included in Tier I capital; (iii) hybrid capital instruments and equity-contract notes; (iv) subordinated debt and intermediate-term preferred stock of up to 50% of Tier I capital; (v) and unrealized holding gains on equity securities. Total capital is the sum of Tier I and Tier II capital, less reciprocal holdings of other banking organizations’ capital securities, and investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries.

The assets of banks and bank holding companies receive risk-weights of 0%, 20%, 50%, and 100%. In addition, certain off-balance sheet items are given credit conversion factors to convert them to asset equivalent amounts to which an appropriate risk-weight will apply. These computations result in total risk-weighted assets.

Most loans are assigned to the 100% risk category, except for first mortgage loans fully secured by residential property, which carry a 50% rating. Most investment securities are assigned to the 20% category, except for municipal or state revenue bonds, which have a 50% risk-weight, and direct obligations of, or obligations guaranteed by, the United States Treasury or agencies of the federal government, which have 0% risk-weight. In converting off-balance sheet items, direct credit substitutes, including general guarantees and standby letters of credit backing financial obligations, are given a 100% conversion factor. Transaction-related contingencies such as bid bonds, other standby letters of credit and undrawn commitments, including commercial credit lines with an initial maturity of more than one year, have a 50% conversion factor. Short-term, self-liquidating trade contingencies are converted at 20%, and short-term commitments have a 0% factor.

The Federal Reserve also employs a leverage ratio, which is Tier I capital as a percentage of total assets less intangibles, to be used as a supplement to risk-based guidelines. The principal objective of the leverage ratio is to constrain the maximum degree to which a state member bank may leverage its equity capital base. The Federal Reserve requires a minimum leverage ratio of 4% for banks not having a composite rating of one under the uniform rating system of banks. However, for all but the most highly rated state member banks, and for banks seeking to expand, the Federal Reserve expects an additional cushion of at least 1% to 2%.


The FDICIA created a statutory framework of supervisory actions indexed to the capital level of the individual institution. Under regulations adopted by the FDIC, an institution is assigned to one of five capital categories, depending on its total risk-based capital ratio, Tier I risk-based capital ratio, and leverage ratio, together with certain subjective factors. Institutions which are deemed to be "undercapitalized" depending on the category to which they are assigned are subject to certain mandatory supervisory corrective actions.

EFFECTS OF GOVERNMENT MONETARY POLICY

The earnings and growth of the Bank are affected not only by general economic conditions, but also by the fiscal and monetary policies of the federal government, particularly the Federal Reserve. The Federal Reserve can and does implement national monetary policy for such purposes as curbing inflation and combating recession, but its open market operations in U.S. government securities, control of the discount rate applicable to borrowings from the Federal Reserve, and establishment of reserve requirements against certain deposits influence the growth of bank loans, investments and deposits, and also affect interest rates charged on loans or paid on deposits. The nature and impact of future changes in monetary policies and their impact on the Company cannot be predicted with certainty.

CHANGES IN REGULATIONS

Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. On July 30, 2002 the President signed into law the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the "Act") implementing legislative reforms intended to address corporate and accounting fraud. The Act applies to the Company with securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Certain key features of the Act are:

-Certification and Accountability. The Act requires the chief executive officer and chief financial officer to certify the accuracy of periodic reports filed with the SEC, subject to civil and criminal penalties if they knowingly or willfully violate this certification requirement.

-Enhanced Financial Disclosures and Reporting Requirements. The legislation accelerates the time frame for disclosures by public companies and insiders, and the Company must more promptly disclose any material changes in its financial condition or operations. Directors and executive officers must also provide information for most changes in ownership in company securities within two business days of the change.

-Audit Committee Requirements. The Act expands the responsibilities of company audit committees including oversight of the Company's auditor. The Act also requires the independence of all members.

Please also see Item 10 of Part III of this Form 10-K.

SEC Regulations:  Certification of Disclosure in Companies' Quarterly and Annual Reports


As directed by Section 302(a) of the Act, the SEC adopted rules to require an issuer's principal executive and financial officers each to certify the financial and other information contained in the issuer's quarterly and annual reports. The rules also require these officers to certify that: they are responsible for establishing, maintaining and regularly evaluating the effectiveness of the issuer's internal controls; they have made certain disclosures to the issuer's auditors and the audit committee of the board of directors about the issuer's internal controls; and they have included information in the issuer's quarterly and annual reports about their evaluation and whether there have been significant changes in the issuer's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the evaluation. In addition, the SEC has adopted rules which require issuers to maintain, and regularly evaluate the effectiveness of, disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that the information required in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported on a timely basis. The effective date of this requirement was August 29, 2002. The Company has implemented procedures and reporting tools to meet the requirements of the SEC certification rules.

SEC Regulations:  Strengthening the SEC's Requirements Regarding Auditor Independence

The SEC adopted amendments to its existing requirements regarding auditor independence to enhance the independence of accountants that audit and review financial statements and prepare attestation reports filed with the Commission. The final rules recognize the critical role played by audit committees in the financial reporting process and the unique position of audit committees in assuring auditor independence. Consistent with the direction of Section 208(a) of the Act, the SEC adopted rules to: revise the Commission's regulations related to the non-audit services that, if provided to an audit client, would impair an accounting firm's independence; require that an issuer's audit committee pre-approve all audit and non-audit services provided to the issuer by the auditor of an issuer's financial statements; prohibit certain partners on the audit engagement team from providing services to the issuer for more than five or seven consecutive years, depending on the partner's involvement in the audit, except that certain small accounting firms may be exempted from this requirement; prohibit an accounting firm from auditing an issuer's financial statements if certain members of management of that issuer had been members of the accounting firm's audit engagement team within the one-year period preceding the commencement of audit procedures; require that the auditor of an issuer's financial statements report certain matters to the issuer's audit committee, including "critical" accounting policies used by the issuer; and require disclosures to investors of information related to audit and non-audit services provided by, and fees paid to, the auditor of the issuer's financial statements. In addition, under the final rules, an accountant would not be independent from an audit client if an audit partner received compensation based on selling engagements to that client for services other than audit, review and attest services. The rules were effective May 6, 2003.

SEC Regulations:  Disclosure Required by Sections 406 and 407 of the Act

The SEC adopted rules and amendments requiring publicly traded companies to include two new types of disclosures in their annual reports filed pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. First, the rules require a company to disclose whether it has at least one "audit committee financial expert" serving on its audit committee, and if so, the name of the expert and whether the expert is independent of management. Second, the rules require a company to disclose whether it has adopted a code of ethics that applies to the company's principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions. A company which has not adopted such a code must disclose this fact and explain why it has not done so. A company also will be required to promptly disclose amendments to, and waivers from, the code of ethics relating to any of those officers. Companies must comply with the code of ethics disclosure requirements promulgated under Section 406 of the Act in their annual reports for fiscal years ending on or after July 15, 2003. They also must comply with the requirements regarding disclosure of amendments to, and waivers from, their ethics codes on or after the date on which they file their first annual report in which the code of ethics disclosure is required. Companies similarly must comply with the audit committee financial expert disclosure requirements promulgated under Section 407 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act in their annual reports for fiscal years ending on or after July 15, 2003.


In 2003 the Company's Board of Directors adopted a formal Code of Ethics to demonstrate to the public and stockholders the importance the Board and management place on ethical conduct, and to continue to set forth the expectations for the conduct of ethical business practices.

USA Patriot Act. Following the events of September 11, 2001, President Bush, on October 26, 2001, signed into law the United and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001. Also known as the "USA Patriot Act," the law enhances the powers of the federal government and law enforcement organizations to combat terrorism, organized crime, and money laundering. The USA Patriot Act significantly amends and expands the application of the Bank Secrecy Act, including enhanced measures regarding customer identity, new suspicious activity reporting rules and enhanced anti-money laundering programs. Under the Act, each financial institution is required to establish and maintain anti-money laundering compliance and due diligence programs, which include, at a minimum, the development of internal policies, procedures, and controls; the designation of a compliance officer; an ongoing employee training program; and an independent audit function to test programs.

The Company’s office is located in the main branch of the Bank. Leases include multiple renewal options for Florence’s Safeway branch and the Loan Center. Land next to the Coos Bay property on which the customer parking lot is located is leased. That lease has a “mandatory purchase option” requiring the Bank to purchase the land at the end of two years for $330,000 if required by the seller, or at the end of seven years for $360,000. The Bank will begin building a customer service building on the west side of the main office that will house the loan center and the trust and asset management and the brokerage divisions. Completion is expected in mid 2007.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

As of the date of filing of this Form 10-K the Company was not a party to any material legal proceedings. Further, management is not aware of any threatened or pending lawsuits or other proceedings against the Company which, if determined adversely, would have a material effect on the business or financial position of the Bank or Bancorp. The Company may from time to time become a party to litigation in the ordinary course of business, such as debt collection litigation or through an appearance as a creditor in a bankruptcy case.

SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

The Company did not submit any matter to the vote of stockholders during the fourth quarter of 2005.

Bancorp paid cash dividends of $0.22 and $0.19 per share for the years 2005 and 2004, respectively. Payment of dividends has been at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors. Any future decision regarding dividends will depend on future earnings, future capital needs, and the Company’s operating financial condition, among other factors. Oregon law also generally prohibits dividends where the effect of paying them would be, in the judgment of the Board of Directors, to cause the Company to be unable to pay its debts as they become due in the usual course of business and if the Company’s total assets would not at least equal the sum of its total liabilities.
 
In September 2004, Bancorp approved a stock repurchase plan to repurchase up to $500,000 of stock. As of December 31, 2005, the Company had repurchased 50,575 shares of stock under this plan, at a total cost of $376,300 and an average price of $7.44 per share.

In August 2004, the Board of Directors approved the Bancorp Amended Dividend Reinvestment Plan that permits the direct purchase of additional shares of Bancorp Common Stock for cash in addition to the automatic reinvestment of cash dividends. During 2005 1,081 shares were sold at an average price of $10.18 per share as part of the Plan.

The transfer agent and registrar for the Common Stock has been Registrar and Transfer, Cranford, New Jersey since March 2003.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Introduction

The following discussion should be read together with Oregon Pacific Bancorp’s consolidated financial statements and related notes which are included elsewhere in this Form 10-K. 

Oregon Pacific Bancorp’s goal is to continue to grow its earning assets and return on equity while keeping its asset quality high. The key to this is to emphasize personalized, quality banking products and services for its customers, to hire and retain competent management and administrative personnel, and to respond quickly to customer demand and growth opportunities. The Company also intends to continue expansion into markets where opportunities exist due to mergers and acquisitions and to increase its market penetration in its existing markets through the introduction of new or existing financial services products.

For the year ended December 31, 2005, consolidated net income was $1,865,000, representing an increase of 74.87% from net income of $1,067,000 earned during the year ended December 31, 2004. Net income for 2004 was up 10.90% from net income of $962,000 earned during the year ended December 31, 2003. Diluted earnings per share were $0.86, $0.49, and $0.45 for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004, and 2003, respectively. Return on average assets was 1.27% for the year ended December 31, 2005, compared with 0.80% for the year ended December 31, 2004, and 0.83% in 2003. Return on average equity was 21.62% for the year ended December 31, 2005, compared with 12.00% for the year ended December 31, 2004, and 11.21% for the year ended December 31, 2003. The increase in earnings for the year ended December 31, 2005, can be attributed primarily to the growth in net loans in 2005 and 2004 (42.6%) while decreasing 2005 noninterest expenses slightly from 2004.


Company assets grew from $138.25 million to $150.44 million, or 8.82% from year-end 2004 to 2005, and 14.56% from December 31, 2003 to December 31, 2004 from $120.68 million. Most of the growth was an increase in commercial loans in the new market areas, as net loans grew from $108.71 million to $117.99 million, an increase of 8.82% from year-end 2004 to 2005, and from $82.72 million, an increase of 31.41% the year before. The net growth in earning assets in 2005 was funded by a growth in customer deposits. Stockholders’ equity increased in 2005 while the Company paid 25.34% of income as dividends to stockholders.

While 2005 was a year of realizing profitability from the branches originally opened in 2003, we are optimistic that further improvement can be achieved in 2006 and beyond. Of course, unforeseen events such as an economic slowdown or significant interest rates changes by the Federal Reserve could impact future results, but nonetheless we believe that the Company’s future is bright. We further believe that our proven business model characterized by strong asset quality, capital strength, and prudent reserves is the most effective way to deal with the inevitable economic uncertainties and to maximize shareholder value over time.

Return on average daily assets and equity and certain other ratios for the periods indicated are presented below:

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

This “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” as well as disclosures included elsewhere in this Form 10-K, are based upon our audited financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates the estimates used, including the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses and contingencies and litigation. Estimates are based upon historical experience, current economic conditions, and other factors that management considers reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates result in judgments regarding the carrying values of assets and liabilities when these values are not readily available from other sources as well as assessing and identifying the accounting treatments of commitments and contingencies. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The following critical accounting policies involve the more significant judgments and assumptions used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.

 
The allowance for loan losses is established to absorb known and inherent losses attributable to loans outstanding and related off-balance-sheet commitments. The adequacy of the allowance is monitored on an ongoing basis and is based on management’s evaluation of numerous factors. These factors include the quality of the current loan portfolio, the trend in the loan portfolio’s risk ratings, current economic conditions, loan concentrations, loan growth rates, past-due and non-performing trends, evaluation of specific loss estimates for all significant problem loans, historical charge-off and recovery experience, and other pertinent information. As of December 31, 2005, approximately 87% of the Bank’s loan portfolio is secured by real estate and a significant depreciation in real estate values in Oregon would cause management to increase the allowance for loan losses.
 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Interest Income/Net Interest Margin

Net interest income, before the provision for loan loss, for the year ended December 31, 2005 was $7.69 million, an increase of 20.60% compared to net interest income of $6.32 million in 2004, and an increase of 14.66% compared to net interest income of $5.56 million in 2003. The overall tax-equivalent earning asset yield was 7.08% in 2005 compared to 6.45% in 2004 and 6.79% in 2003. For the same years, rates on interest-bearing liabilities were 2.20%, 1.56%, and 1.84%, respectively. The increasing rates were primarily due to outside economic factors creating pressure on interest yields and rates.

Total interest-earning assets averaged $137.82 million for the year ended December 31, 2005, compared to $123.45 million for the corresponding period in 2004. The increase was due to loan growth primarily from the Roseburg branch and Small Business Administration loans originated in Florence.

Interest-bearing liabilities averaged $103.90 million for the year ended December 31, 2005 compared to $95.30 million for the same period in 2004. The increase was due to a growth in certificates of deposit as consumers seek out higher interest with the safety of bank deposits.

Loans, which generally carry a higher yield than investment securities and other earning assets, comprised 85.91% of average earning assets during 2005, compared to 80.53% in 2004 and 77.94% in 2003. During the same periods, average yields on loans were 7.47% in 2005, 7.02% in 2004, and 7.56% in 2003. Investment securities plus interest-bearing balances at banks comprised 14.09% of average earning assets in 2005, which was down from 19.47% in 2004 and 22.06% in 2003. Tax equivalent interest yields on investment securities have ranged from 5.25% in 2005 to 5.85% in 2004 and 5.11% in 2003.


Interest cost, as a percentage of earning assets, increased to 1.66% in 2005, compared to 1.20% in 2004 and 1.45% in 2003. Local competitive pricing conditions and funding needs for the Bank’s investments in loans have been the primary determinants of rates paid for deposits during these three years.

Analysis of Changes in Interest Differential.

For financial institutions, the primary component of earnings is net interest income. Net interest income is the difference between interest income, principally from loan and investment security portfolios, and interest expense on customer deposits and borrowed funds. Changes in net interest income result from changes in “volume,” “spread,” and “margin.” Volume refers to the dollar level of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Spread refers to the difference between the yield on interest-earning assets and the cost of interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest margin is the ratio of net interest income to total average interest-earning assets and is influenced by the relative level of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.

The following table shows the dollar amount of the increase (decrease) in the Company’s net interest income and expense and attributes such dollar amounts to changes in volume as well as changes in rates. Rate and volume variances have been allocated proportionally between rate and volume changes:

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses represents charges made to earnings to maintain an adequate allowance for loan losses. The allowance is maintained at an amount believed to be sufficient to absorb losses in the loan portfolio. Factors considered in establishing an appropriate allowance include a careful assessment of the financial condition of the borrower; a realistic determination of the value and adequacy of underlying collateral; the condition of the local economy and the condition of the specific industry of the borrower; a comprehensive analysis of the levels and trends of loan categories; and a review of delinquent and classified loans. The Bank applies a systematic process for determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses that included an internal loan review function until late fourth quarter 2005 (the loan review function was outsourced in January 2006) and a monthly analysis of the adequacy of the allowance. Management believes the reserve for loan losses is adequate to absorb potential losses on identified problem loans as well as inherent losses at historical and expected levels.


The recorded values of loans actually removed from the balance sheets are referred to as charge-offs and, after netting out recoveries on previously charged-off assets, become net charge-offs. The Bank’s policy is to charge off loans when, in management’s opinion, the loan or a portion thereof is deemed uncollectible, although concerted efforts are made to maximize recovery after the charge-off. When a charge to the loan loss provision is recorded, the amount is based on past charge-off experience, a careful analysis of the current portfolio, and an evaluation of economic trends in the market area. Management will continue to closely monitor the loan quality of new and existing relationships through stringent review and evaluation.

For the years ended December 31, 2005 the Bank charged $215,000 to its provision for loan losses, compared to a reduction of $355,000 in 2004 and charges of $170,000 in 2003. The increased provision in 2005 was due to loan growth while the decreased allowance provision in 2004 reflects a large loan recovery.

For the year ended December 31, 2005, loan recoveries exceeded charge-offs by $3,000 as compared to $679,000 in 2004. All net charge-offs incurred by the Bank were small in amount and generally were concentrated in the installment loan category.
 
Noninterest Income

Total noninterest income over the two-year period from 2003 to 2005 has grown 14.1%. Noninterest income was $2.79 million in 2005, $2.41 million in 2004 and $2.45 million in 2003. Noninterest income is primarily derived from mortgage loan sales and servicing fees, service charges and related fees, trust fee income, and investment and brokerage service sales commissions. The largest piece of noninterest income in 2005 is derived from services charges. Over the past three years service charges have grown significantly to $1.00 million in 2005, from $809,000 in 2004, and $494,000 in 2003. The growth in 2005 and 2004 reflects the new Overdraft Protection service put into place in September of 2003 as well as from the growth in the number of customer accounts, while other deposit charges have remained fairly flat since the Bank offers many demand deposit accounts with no related fees. Other significant noninterest income comes from the real estate mortgage department. Most loans are sold in the secondary market with loan servicing retained. Such income varied from $655,000 in 2005, to $746,000 in 2004, and $1.27 million in 2003. The changes in mortgage loan sales are largely a product of the mortgage rate environment that hit forty-year lows in 2003. Trust fee income increased to $610,000 in 2005, from $539,000 in 2004, and $442,000 in 2003 which reflects the growth in assets under management and the continuing acceptance of the Bank’s trust services within its market areas. “Other income” included an insurance reimbursement received and recognized in 2005 for a litigation settlement initially paid and expensed in 2004.
 
 
Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expenses consist principally of employees’ salaries and benefits, occupancy costs, data processing expenses and other noninterest expenses. A measure of a bank’s ability to contain noninterest expenses is the efficiency ratio, calculated as total noninterest expenses divided by net interest income plus noninterest income. For the year ended December 31, 2005, the efficiency increased as measured by the efficiency ratio to 71.48% compared to 85.93% for the corresponding period of 2004. This is primarily due to the reduction in headcount that took place in fourth quarter of 2004. Sutherlin never reached the efficiency level originally planned and was closed at the end of 2004. These and other cost cutting measures were instituted that led the Company to its most profitable year ever in 2005.

Total noninterest expense was $7.50 million for the both years ended December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004, and $6.50 million for the year ended December 31, 2003.

Salary and benefit expense, which includes commissions and the employer-paid portion of payroll taxes, was $4.56 million in 2005, $4.47 million in 2004, and $4.15 million in 2003. For the year ended December 31, 2005, Oregon Pacific Banking Co. had an average of 89 full-time equivalent employees which compares to averages of 98 for 2004 and 90 for 2003. As a result of the achievement of company financial and operational goals, 2005 included increased incentive compensation expense.

Occupancy expense consists of depreciation of premises and equipment, maintenance and repair expenses, utilities, and related expenses. The Bank’s net occupancy expense grew by 32.83% in 2004 as the new branch offices opened; the increase primarily represents the depreciation expense of the new buildings. Expenses in 2005 increased only for real property taxes. This expense category was $885,000 in 2005, an increase of $51,000 over $834,000 in 2004, which was an increase of $206,000 over $628,000 in 2003.
 
Outside services expense consists of telecommunication expense, directors fees, correspondent bank charges, and fees for data processing and the internet, accountants, legal services, Regulators’ examinations and other miscellaneous outside services. Outside services expense has increased from $588,000 in 2004 to $672,000 in 2005, an increase of $84,000 from the prior year reflecting increases in the first five services listed above.

Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes was $910,000 in 2005, $517,000 in 2004, and $377,000 in 2003. The provision resulted in effective combined federal and state tax rates of 33% in 2005, 33% in 2004, and 28% in 2003. The effective tax rates differ from combined estimated statutory rates of 38% principally due to the effects of nontaxable interest income which is recognized as income for book, but not for tax purposes. In 2005 the Company recognized a $48,000 income tax benefit as a result of a corporate tax “kicker” credit from the State of Oregon.


FINANCIAL CONDITION

Total assets increased 8.82% to $150.44 million at December 31, 2005 compared to $138.25 million at December 31, 2004. The increase in total assets was driven by continued growth in loans. Growth in total assets was primarily funded by a 9.25% growth in deposits and a 15.42% increase in equity.

Investments

A year-to-year comparison shows that Oregon Pacific Banking Co.’s investment portfolio at December 31, 2005 totaled $12.67 million, compared to $16.44 million at December 31, 2004, and $17.84 million at December 31, 2003. This represents a decrease of 22.97% and between 2004 and 2005 and 7.84% between 2003 and 2004. Increases or decreases in the investment portfolio are primarily a function of loan demand and changes in Oregon Pacific Banking Co.’s deposit structure.
 

The Bank identifies its investment securities as available-for-sale. Available-for-sale securities are those that management may sell if liquidity requirements dictate or if alternative investment opportunities arise. The mix of available-for-sale investment securities is determined by management, based on the Bank’s asset-liability policy, management’s assessment of the relative liquidity of the Bank, and other factors.
 
At December 31, 2005, Oregon Pacific Banking Co.’s investment portfolio had total net unrealized gains, net of taxes, of approximately $28,000. This compares to unrealized gains of approximately $211,000 at December 31, 2004, and $410,000 at December 31, 2003. Unrealized gains and losses reflect changes in market conditions and do not represent the amount of actual profits or losses the Bank may ultimately realize. Actual realized gains and losses occur at the time investment securities are sold or redeemed.

Interest-bearing deposits in banks are short-term investments held primarily at the FHLB or bank certificates of deposit. The Bank invests in these instruments to provide for additional earnings on excess available cash balances. Because of their liquid nature, balances at the FHLB fluctuate dramatically on a day-to-day basis. The balance on any one day is influenced by cash demands, customer deposit levels, loan activity, and other investment transactions. Interest-bearing deposit accounts totaled $5.92 million at December 31, 2005, compared to $874,000 at December 31, 2004, and $4.76 million at December 31, 2003.

Weighted average yield on state and political subdivisions has been computed on a 34% tax-equivalent basis.

The Bank does not own bonds of a single issuer whose aggregate market value or book exceeds 10% of equity.

Loans

The Bank’s loan policies and procedures establish the basic guidelines governing its lending operations. Generally, the guidelines address the types of loans that the Bank seeks, target markets, underwriting and collateral requirements, terms, interest rate and yield considerations, and compliance with laws and regulations. All loans or credit lines are subject to approval procedures and amount limitations. These limitations apply to the borrower’s total outstanding indebtedness to Oregon Pacific Banking Co., including the indebtedness of any guarantor. The policies are reviewed and approved at least annually by the Board of Directors of the Bank.

Bank officers are charged with loan origination in compliance with underwriting standards overseen by the loan administration function and in conformity with established loan policies. Periodically, the Board of Directors determines the lending authority of the President and other lending officers. Such delegated authority may include authority related to loans, letters of credit, overdrafts, uncollected funds, and such other authority as determined by the Board or the President within the President’s delegated authority.
 
 
The President or Chief Credit Officer has authority to approve loans up to a lending limit set by the Board of Directors. All loans above the lending limit of the President and up to a certain limit are reviewed for approval by the executive loan committee, which currently includes the President, the Chief Credit Officer and four senior loan officers. All loans above the lending limit up to Oregon Pacific Banking Co.’s statutory loan-to-one-borrower limitation (also known as the legal lending limit) require approval of at least four members of the Board of Directors. Oregon Pacific Banking Co.’s unsecured legal lending limit was $2,397,000 at December 31, 2005.

Net outstanding loans, excluding loans held-for-sale, totaled $117.99 million at December 31, 2005, representing an increase of $9.28 million, or 8.54% compared to $108.71 million as of December 31, 2004. Loan commitments increased to $22.72 million as of December 31, 2005, representing an increase of $1.77 million from year-end 2004. Net outstanding loans, excluding loans held-for-sale, were $82.72 million at December 31, 2003.

Oregon Pacific Banking Co.’s net loan portfolio, excluding loans held for sale, at December 31, 2005, includes loans secured by real estate (87.02% of total), commercial loans (11.67% of total), and consumer loans and overdraft accounts (1.74% of total). These percentages are generally consistent with previous reporting periods. Loans secured by real estate include loans made for purposes other than financing purchases of real property, such as inventory financing and equipment purchases, where real property serves as collateral for the loan.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses charged to expenses. Loans are charged against the allowance for loan losses when management believes that the collectibility of the principal or a portion thereof is unlikely. The allowance is an amount that management believes will be adequate to absorb possible losses on existing loans that may become uncollectible, based on evaluations of the collectibility of loans and prior loan loss experience. To evaluate the loan portfolio, management has established loan grading procedures. These procedures establish a grade for each loan upon origination which is periodically reassessed throughout the term of the loan. Grading categories have been established using a grade of 1 through 7, with 1 being “superior quality,” 2 being “above average quality,” and so forth. Loans graded 4 (“watch”) are placed on a management Classified List and are monitored closely. Loans graded 5, 6, and 7 are defined as substandard, doubtful and loss.

The Company utilizes both quantitative and qualitative considerations in establishing an allowance for loan losses believed to be appropriate as of each reporting date. An allowance allocation is computed using totals of each loan grading category multiplied by an estimated loss factor applied to each grading category. These loss factors are typically developed over time using actual loss experience adjusted for the various factors discussed above. Management also attempts to ensure that the overall allowance appropriately reflects a margin for the imprecision in an estimation process and evaluates other factors such as the trend in loan growth and the percentage of change, the level of geographic and/or industry concentration, competitive issues that impact to loan underwriting or structure, and economic conditions.
 
 
The increase in the allowance primarily relates to loan growth in 2005, the growth in unfunded commitments, and the increase in unsecured loans—those guaranteed by individuals with strong balance sheets but with no collateral. The Company believes that the allowance for credit losses at December 31, 2005 is sufficient to absorb losses inherent in the loan portfolio and credit commitments outstanding as of that date based on the best information available. This assessment, based in part on historical levels of net charge-offs, loan growth and a detailed review of the quality of the loan portfolio, involves uncertainty and judgment, and, therefore, the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses cannot be determined with precision and may be subject to change in future periods. In addition, bank regulatory authorities, as part of their periodic examinations of the Bank, may require additional charges to the provision for credit losses in future periods if the results of their review warrant it.

The adequacy of the allowance for loan losses should be measured in the context of several key ratios: (1) the ratio of the allowance to total outstanding loans; (2) the ratio of total nonperforming loans to total loans; and, (3) the ratio of net charge-offs (recoveries) to average loans outstanding. Since 2000, Oregon Pacific Banking Co.’s ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total loans has ranged from 1.47% to 2.35%. The amounts provided by these ratios have been sufficient to fund the Bank’s charge-offs, which have not been historically significant, and to provide for potential losses based upon year-end analyses conducted by management. These ratios have also been consistent with the level of nonperforming loans to total loans. From December 31, 2001 through December 31, 2005, nonperforming loans to total loans have ranged from a low of 0.00% in 2003 to a high of 0.61% in 2001. The Bank’s historical ratio of net charge-offs (recoveries) to average outstanding loans illustrates its recent favorable loan charge-off and recovery experience. For the years between December 31, 2001 and 2003, net charge-offs ranged from 0.01% to 0.25% of average loans while 2005 and 2004 experienced a net recovery of 0.003% and 0.69%, respectively. Management believes the Bank’s loan underwriting policies and its loan officers’ knowledge of their customers are significant contributors to the Bank’s success in limiting loan losses. The most recent significant charge-off experienced by the Bank was in 1998.
 

During the year ended December 31, 2005, Oregon Pacific Banking Co. recognized $2,000 in loan losses and $5,000 in recoveries. Charge-offs recorded in 2005 were consistent with the Bank’s historical loss experience.

Oregon Pacific Banking Co. has adopted a policy for placement of loans on nonaccrual status after they become 90 days past due unless documented factors mitigate such placement. Further, the Bank may place loans that are not contractually past due or that are deemed fully collateralized on nonaccrual status to promote better oversight and review of loan arrangements. There were $356,000 of loans on nonaccrual status at December 31, 2005, compared to $113,000 at December 31, 2004 and no loans at the end of 2003.

At December 31, 2005 and 2004, the Bank had no amount in the other real estate owned (“OREO”) category, which represents assets held through loan foreclosure or recovery activities. There was $10,000 in OREO at December 31, 2003.

 
Deposits

At December 31, 2005, total deposits were $121.33 million, an increase of $10.27 million or 9.25%, from total deposits of $111.06 million at December 31, 2004. Total deposits in 2004 increased by 13.95% from 2003. The increase in deposit accounts in 2005 has primarily been in time certificates as customers seek higher interest rates plus the safety of secured deposits. Noninterest-bearing demand deposits continued to be a significant portion of Oregon Pacific Banking Co.’s deposit base. To the extent the Bank can fund operations with noninterest deposits, net interest spread, which is the difference between interest income and interest expense, will improve. Noninterest deposits for 2005 averaged 25.99% of total deposits, up from 25.51% in 2004, and 21.40 % in 2003.

The following table sets forth the average balances of the Bank’s interest-bearing deposits, interest expense, and average rates paid for the periods indicated:

Interest-bearing deposits consist of money market, savings, and time certificate accounts. Interest-bearing account balances tend to grow or decline as the Bank adjusts its pricing and product strategies based on market conditions, including competing deposit products. At December 31, 2005, total interest-bearing deposit accounts were $91.66 million, an increase of $7.19 million, or 8.51%, from December 31, 2004. Interest-bearing demand accounts increased $9.00 million, or 11.92%, from December 31, 2003 to 2004. Management believes deposits will continue to grow, especially in Coos Bay and Roseburg as the Bank continues to penetrate those markets.

Certificates of deposit are another interest-bearing deposit with a stated maturity typically at higher interest rates. At December 31, 2005, time certificates of deposit in excess of $100,000 totaled $15.71 million, or 12.95% of total outstanding deposits, compared to $10.07 million, or 9.07%, of total outstanding deposits at December 31, 2004, and $7.10 million, or 7.29%, of total outstanding deposits at December 31, 2003.

Trust Preferred Securities

In December 2003, Bancorp issued $4.00 million of unsecured junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures to its wholly-owned subsidiary, Oregon Pacific Statutory Trust I (“Trust”), which has since been deconsolidated in accordance with FASB Interpretation (“FIN”) 46R. Interest payments on the subordinated debentures are intended to pass through the Trust to the beneficial owners of the Trust, in the form of dividend payments on trust preferred securities. The subordinated debentures and trust preferred securities have identical interest rates, terms and conditions - variable interest at 90 day LIBOR plus 2.85% with 30 year maturities. Trust Preferred Securities are considered Tier I capital for regulatory purposes.


In accordance with FIN 46, Bancorp deconsolidated the Trust as of March 31, 2004. As a result, $4.12 million of junior subordinated debentures are reflected on the consolidated balance sheet under the caption “Junior Subordinated Debentures.” The $124,000 investment in the Trust is recognized, which is included under the caption “other Assets” in the consolidated balance sheet.

Stockholders’ Equity

Consolidated stockholders’ equity at December 31, 2005 was $10.26 million, an increase of $1.37 million from December 31, 2004. 2005 equity was increased by earnings of $1.87 million for the year less cash dividends paid to shareholders of $302,000. At year-end 2005, net unrealized gains on investment securities available-for-sale were $28,000 down $211,000 from year-end 2004. In September 2004, the Bank approved a stock repurchase plan to provide an additional vehicle for liquidity of outstanding shares and to retire excess capital in order to improve future returns on equity. Up to $500,000 of repurchases were authorized. As of December 31, 2005, the Company had repurchased 50,575 shares of stock under this plan, at a total cost of $376,300 and an average price of $7.44 per share. The Company records the repurchased shares as authorized but unissued stock.
 
Liquidity

Oregon Pacific Banking Co. has adopted policies to maintain a relatively liquid position to enable it to respond to changes in the financial environment and ensure sufficient funds are available to meet customers’ needs for borrowing and deposit withdrawals. Generally, the Bank’s major sources of liquidity are customer deposits, sales and maturities of investment securities, the use of federal funds markets, and net cash provided by operating activities. Scheduled loan repayments are a relatively stable source of funds, while deposit inflows and unscheduled loan prepayments, which are influenced by general interest rate levels, interest rates available on other investments, competition, economic conditions, and other factors, are not. Liquid asset balances include cash, amounts due from other banks including the FHLB, securities available-for-sale, and loans held-for-sale. At December 31, 2005, these liquid assets totaled $23.93 million or 15.91% of total assets as compared to $21.66 million or 15.67% of total assets at December 31, 2004. Other sources of liquidity are the ability to borrow from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Seattle and other correspondent banks, national deposits, and brokered deposits.

The analysis of liquidity also includes a review of the changes that appear in the statements of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2005. The statement of cash flows includes operating, investing and financing categories. Operating activities include net income of $1.87 million, which is adjusted for non-cash items and increases or decreases in cash due to changes in certain assets and liabilities. Investing activities consist primarily of both proceeds from and purchases of securities and the impact of the net growth in loans. Financing activities present the cash flows associated with deposit accounts, and reflect dividends paid to shareholders.


At December 31, 2005, the Bank had outstanding commitments to make loans of $22.72 million. Nearly all of these commitments represented unused portions of credit lines available to business and mortgage loan customers.   Many of   these   outstanding commitments to extend credit will not be fully drawn upon and, accordingly, the aggregate commitments do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Management believes that the Bank’s sources of liquidity are more than adequate to meet likely calls on outstanding commitments, although there can be no assurance in this regard.

Capital

The Federal Reserve Board and Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation have established minimum requirements for capital adequacy for financial institutions that they oversee. The requirements address both risk-based capital and leveraged capital. The regulatory agencies may establish higher minimum requirements if, for example, a bank has previously received special attention or has a high susceptibility to interest rate risk.

The Bank was in compliance with the regulatory requirements for well-capitalized institutions at December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2004. The following reflects the Bank’s various capital ratios compared to regulatory minimums for capital adequacy purposes:

In December 2003 the Company issued $4,000,000 in trust preferred capital securities through a wholly-owned subsidiary organization that was formed for that purpose. The Company then invested the net proceeds of the security sales in the Bank as additional paid-in capital to support the Bank’s future growth. All of the $4 million of capital invested by the Company in the Bank is treated as Tier 1 capital of the Bank.
 
The Company is committed to managing capital for maximum shareholder benefit and maintaining strong protection for depositors and creditors. The Company manages capital to maintain adequate capital ratios and levels in accordance with external regulations and capital guidelines established by the Board of Directors.

Factors That May Affect Future Results of Operations

In addition to the other information contained in this report, the following risks may affect the Bank. If any of these risks occurs, our business, financial condition or operating results could be adversely affected.


1.  Growth and Management. Our financial performance and profitability will depend on our ability to manage recent and possible future growth.  Although management believes that it can properly manage the growth of the Bank’s operations and assets, there can be no assurance that unforeseen issues relating to such growth will not adversely affect us.  In addition, any future acquisitions and continued growth may present operating and other problems that could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Also the unexpected loss of services of any key management personnel, or the inability to recruit and retain qualified personnel in the future, could have an adverse effect on our business. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that we will be able to execute our growth strategy or maintain our level of profitability.

2.  Changes in Market Interest Rates. While the Company actively manages its exposure to changes in interest rates, volatile interest rates and/or changes in the shape of the yield curve could have a meaningful impact on net income. Some assets and liabilities of the Bank have embedded options, which add another layer of complexity in its interest rate risk practices.

3.  Geographic Factors. Economic conditions in the communities we serve could adversely affect our operations. As a result of our community bank focus, our results depend largely upon economic and business conditions in our service areas. Deterioration in economic and business conditions in our market areas could have a material adverse impact on the quality of our loan portfolio, and the demand for our products and services, which in turn may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. Also, a stall in the national economy and the deflationary pressures in the global economy might further exacerbate local economic conditions. The extent of the future impact of these events on economic and business conditions cannot be predicted.

4.  Regulation. We are subject to government regulation that could limit or restrict our activities, which in turn could adversely impact our operations. The financial services industry is regulated extensively. Federal and state regulation is designed primarily to protect the deposit insurance funds and consumers, and not to benefit our shareholders. These regulations can sometimes impose significant limitations on our operations. In addition, these regulations are constantly evolving and may change significantly over time. Significant new laws or changes in existing laws or repeal of existing laws may cause our results to differ materially. Further, federal monetary policy, particularly as implemented through the Federal Reserve System, significantly affects credit conditions for us.
 
5.  Competition. Competition may adversely affect our performance. The financial services business in our market areas is highly competitive. It is becoming increasingly competitive due to changes in regulation, technological advances, and the accelerating pace of consolidation among financial services providers. We face competition both in attracting deposits and in making loans. We compete for loans principally through the interest rates and loan fees we charge and the efficiency and quality of services we provide. Increasing levels of competition in the banking and financial services businesses may reduce our market share or cause the prices we charge for our services to fall. Our results may differ in future periods depending upon the nature or level of competition.

6.  Credit Risk. If a significant number of borrowers, guarantors and related parties fail to perform as required by the terms of their loans, we will sustain losses. A significant source of risk arises from the possibility that losses will be sustained if a significant number of our borrowers, guarantors and related parties fail to perform in accordance with the terms of their loans. We have adopted underwriting and credit monitoring procedures and credit policies, including the establishment and review of the allowance for credit losses, that management believe are appropriate to minimize this risk by assessing the likelihood of nonperformance, tracking loan performance and diversifying our credit portfolio. These policies and procedures, however, may not prevent unexpected losses that could materially adversely affect our results of operations.


7.  Collateral Risk. The market value of real estate, particularly real estate held for investment, can fluctuate significantly in a short period of time as a result of market conditions in the geographic area in which the real estate is located. If the value of the real estate serving as collateral for our loan portfolio were to decline materially, a significant part of our loan portfolio could become under-collateralized. If the loans that are collateralized by real estate become troubled during a time when market conditions are declining or have declined, then, in the event of foreclosure, we may not be able to realize the amount of collateral that we anticipated at the time of originating the loan, which could have a material adverse effect on our provision for loan losses and our operating results and financial condition.

8. Internal Accounting Controls. We believe our internal control system as currently documented and functioning is adequate to provide reasonable assurance over our financial reporting. Nevertheless, because of the inherent limitation in administering a cost effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Breakdowns in our internal controls and procedures could occur in the future, and any such breakdowns could have an adverse effect on us. See "Item 9A - Controls and Procedures" for additional information.

9.  Technology. The financial services industry is undergoing rapid technological changes, with frequent introductions of new technology-driven products and services. In addition to improving the ability to serve customers, the effective use of technology increases efficiency and enables financial institutions to reduce costs. Our future success will depend, in part, upon our ability to address the needs of our customers by using technology to provide products and services that will satisfy customer demands for conveniences, as well as to create additional efficiencies in our operations. Many of our competitors have substantially greater resources to invest in technological improvements. We may not be able to effectively implement new technology-driven products and services or be successful in marketing these products and services to our customers.
 
The computer systems and network infrastructure we use could be vulnerable to unforeseen problems. Our operations are dependent upon our ability to protect our computer equipment against damage from fire, power loss, telecommunications failure, or a similar catastrophic event. Any damage or failure that causes an interruption in our operations could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, our operations are dependent upon our ability to protect the computer systems and network infrastructure utilized by us against damage from physical break-ins, security breaches and other disruptive problems caused by the Internet or other users. Such computer break-ins and other disruptions would jeopardize the security of information stored in and transmitted through our computer systems and network infrastructure, which may result in significant liability to us and deter potential customers. Although we, with the help of third-party service providers, intend to continue to implement security technology and establish operational procedures to prevent such damage, there can be no assurance that these security measures will be successful.


Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

In the normal course of business, the Bank utilizes financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk to meet the financing needs of its customers including loan commitments to extend credit, checking lines of credit, commercial letters of credit, and standby letters of credit.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Asset-Liability Management and Interest Rate Sensitivity

Oregon Pacific Banking Co.’s results of operations depend substantially on its net interest income. Interest income and interest expense are affected by general economic conditions and by competition in the marketplace. The Bank’s interest and pricing strategies are driven by its asset-liability management analysis and by local market conditions.

The Bank seeks to manage its assets and liabilities to generate a stable level of earnings in response to changing interest rates and to manage its interest rate risk. Asset/liability management involves managing the relationship between interest rate sensitive assets and interest rate sensitive liabilities. If assets and liabilities do not mature or reprice simultaneously, and in equal amounts, the potential for exposure to interest rate risk exists, and an interest rate “gap” is said to be present. Our asset and liability management strategies have resulted in a positive 0-3 month “gap” of 7.0% and a positive 4-12 month “gap” of 7.6% as of December 31, 2005 as shown in the table below.

Rising and falling interest rate environments can have various effects on a bank’s net interest income, depending on the interest rate gap, the relative changes in interest rates that occur when assets and liabilities are repriced, unscheduled repayments of loans, early withdrawals of deposits, and other factors. The Bank does not use derivatives including forward and futures contracts, options, or swaps to manage its market and interest rate risks.


The table below shows simulated percentage changes in forecasted net income, based on changes in the interest rate environment. The change in interest rates assumes an immediate, parallel, and sustained shift in the base interest rate forecast. Through these simulations, management estimates the impact on net income based on 1.0% and 2.0% upward and downward changes to market interest rates.

As illustrated in the above table, Bancorp’s balance sheet is currently asset-sensitive, meaning that interest earning assets mature or reprice more quickly than interest bearing liabilities in a given period. Therefore, according to the model, net interest income should increase slightly when rates increase and shrink somewhat when rates fall in an interest rate shift that is parallel across all terms of the yield curve. This is primarily a result of the concentration of variable rate and short-term real estate loans in the Bank’s portfolio. The impact on net income is consistent with the impact on net interest income.
 
The simulation model does not take into account future management actions that could be undertaken, should a change occur in actual market interest rates. Also, certain assumptions underlie modeling simulation results and these assumptions may have significant impact on the results. These include assumptions regarding the level of interest rates and balance changes of deposit products that do not have stated maturities. The results derived from the simulation model could vary significantly due to external factors such as changes in prepayment assumptions, early withdrawals of deposits and unforeseen competitive factors.


FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Oregon Pacific Bancorp and Subsidiaries


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Oregon Pacific Bancorp and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of Oregon Pacific Bancorp’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Oregon Pacific Bancorp and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

OREGON PACIFIC BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



NOTE 1

ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization - Oregon Pacific Bancorp (“Bancorp”) was incorporated on January 1, 2004 and became the holding company of Oregon Pacific Banking Co. (the “Bank”) effective January 1, 2003. The Bank is a state-chartered institution authorized to provide banking services by the State of Oregon from its headquarters in Florence, Oregon. Full-service banking products are offered to the Bank’s customers who live primarily in Lane, Douglas, and Coos counties and on the central Oregon coast. In December 2003, Bancorp formed Oregon Pacific Statutory Trust I (the “Trust”), a wholly-owned Connecticut statutory business trust, for purposes of issuing guaranteed undivided beneficial interests in Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debentures (Trust Preferred Securities, see Note 18). The Bank and Bancorp are subject to the regulations of certain federal and state agencies and undergo periodic examinations by those regulatory authorities.

All significant intercompany accounts and transactions between Bancorp and the Bank have been eliminated in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.

Management’s estimates and assumptions - 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 consolidated balance sheets, and revenues and expenses for the reporting period. Estimates and assumptions made by management primarily involve the valuation of the allowance for loan losses, other real estate owned, and mortgage servicing assets. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

Cash and cash equivalents - Cash and cash equivalents normally include cash on hand, amounts due from banks, and federal funds sold. Cash and due from banks include amounts the Bank is required to maintain to meet certain average reserve and compensating balance requirements of the Federal Reserve Bank. As of December 31, 2005 and 2004, the Bank had reserve requirements to be maintained at the Federal Reserve Bank of $1,205,000 and $588,000, respectively. Total clearing balance requirements at December 31, 2005 and 2004, were $400,000.

Investment securities - The Bank is required, under generally accepted accounting principles, to specifically identify its investment securities as “trading,” “available-for-sale,” or “held-to-maturity.” Accordingly, management has determined that all investment securities held at December 31, 2005 and 2004 are available-for-sale.

Available-for-sale securities consist of bonds, notes, debentures, and certain equity securities. Securities classified as available-for-sale may be sold in response to such factors as (1) changes in market interest rates and related changes in the security’s prepayment risk, (2) needs for liquidity, (3) changes in the availability of and the yield on alternative instruments, and (4) changes in funding sources and terms. Gains and losses on the sale of available-for-sale securities are determined using the specific identification method. Unrealized holding gains and losses, net of tax, on available-for-sale securities are reported as a net amount in a separate component of equity until realized. Fair values for investment securities are based on quoted market prices.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - (continued)

Declines in the fair value of individual available-for-sale securities below their cost that are other than temporary, result in write-downs of the individual securities to their fair value. The related write-downs would be included in earnings as realized losses. Premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the period to maturity or call date.

Loans held-for-sale - Mortgage loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at the lower of cost or estimated market value in the aggregate. Net unrealized losses, if any, are recognized through a valuation allowance established by charges to income. All loans are sold without recourse.

Loan servicing - The Bank sells mortgage loans primarily on a servicing-retained basis. The cost of mortgage servicing rights is amortized in proportion to, and over the period of, estimated servicing revenues. Impairment of the mortgage servicing asset is based on the fair value of those rights. Fair values are estimated using discounted cash flows based on current market interest rates and prepayment rates. Loan servicing income is recorded when earned.

Loans, net of allowance for loan losses and unearned loan fee income - Loans are stated at the amount of unpaid principal, reduced by an allowance for loan losses and unearned loan fee income. Interest on loans is calculated by the simple-interest method on daily balances of the principal amount outstanding. Loan origination fees and certain direct origination costs are capitalized and recognized as an adjustment of the yield over the life of the related loan.

The Bank does not accrue interest on loans for which payment in full of principal and interest is not expected, or which payment of principal or interest has been in default 90 days or more, unless the loan is well-secured and in the process of collection. Nonaccrual loans are considered impaired loans. Impaired loans are carried at the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s market price, or the fair value of collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. When interest accrual is discontinued, all unpaid accrued interest is reversed. Interest income is subsequently recognized only to the extent cash payments are received or when the loan is removed from nonaccrual status. Large groups of smaller balance, homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, the Bank does not separately identify individual consumer and residential loans for evaluation of impairment.

The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision charged to expense. Loans are charged against the allowance when management believes that the collectibility of principal is unlikely. The allowance is an amount that management believes will be adequate to absorb possible losses on existing loans that may become uncollectible, based on evaluations of the collectibility of loans and prior loan loss experience. The evaluations take into consideration such factors as changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality, review of specific problem loans, and current economic conditions that may affect the borrower’s ability to pay. Various regulatory agencies, as a regular part of their examination process, periodically review the Bank’s allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require the Bank to recognize

ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - (continued)

additions to the allowance based on their judgment of information available to them at the time of their examinations.

Premises and equipment - Premises and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed principally by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from 2 to 30 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the estimated life of the lease. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred while major additions and improvements are capitalized.

Other real estate owned - Real estate acquired by the Bank in satisfaction of debt is carried at the lower of cost or estimated net realizable value. When property is acquired, any excess of the loan balance over its estimated net realizable value is charged to the allowance for loan losses. Subsequent write-downs to net realizable value, if any, or any disposition gains or losses are included in noninterest income and expense.

Income taxes - Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the tax effects of the differences between the book and tax bases of the various balance sheet assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are reflected at currently enacted income tax rates applicable to the period in which the deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be realized or settled. As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for income taxes.
 
Comprehensive income - Comprehensive income consists of net income and other comprehensive income. Other comprehensive income consists of unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale, which are also recognized as a separate component of stockholders’ equity.

Off-balance sheet financial instruments - The Bank holds no derivative financial instruments. However, in the ordinary course of business, the Bank enters into off-balance-sheet financial instruments consisting of commitments to extend credit as well as commercial letters of credit and standby letters of credit. Such financial instruments are recorded in the consolidated financial statements when they are funded or related fees are incurred or received.

Fair value of financial instruments - The following methods and assumptions were used by the Bank in estimating fair values of financial instruments as disclosed herein:

Cash and cash equivalents - The carrying amounts of cash and short-term instruments approximate their fair value.

Available-for-sale securities - Fair values for available-for-sale investment securities are based on quoted market prices. If a quoted market price is not available, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar securities.
 

OREGON PACIFIC BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



NOTE 1
-
ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - (continued)
 
Restricted equity securities - The carrying values of restricted equity securities approximate fair values.

Loans receivable - For variable rate loans that reprice frequently and have no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values. Fair values for fixed-rate loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. Fair values for impaired loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses or underlying collateral values, where applicable.

Loans held-for-sale - Fair value represents the anticipated proceeds from sale of the loans.

Deposit liabilities - The fair values disclosed for demand deposits are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (that is, their carrying amounts). The carrying amounts of variable rate, fixed-term money market accounts, and certificates of deposit (CDs) approximate their fair values at the reporting date. Fair values for fixed-rate CDs are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits.

Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings - The fair values of the Bank’s borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the Bank’s current incremental borrowing rates for similar borrowing arrangements.

Junior Subordinated Debentures - The carrying amount approximates fair value. 

Off-balance sheet instruments - The Bank’s off-balance sheet instruments include unfunded commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. The fair value of these instruments is not considered practicable to estimate because of the lack of quoted market prices and the inability to estimate fair value without incurring excessive costs.

Advertising - Advertising costs are charged to expense during the year in which they are incurred.

Stock options - The Bank measures compensation cost using the intrinsic value method, which computes compensation cost as the difference between a company’s stock price and the option price at the grant date. Accordingly, compensation costs are recognized as the difference between the exercise price of each option and the market price of Bancorp’s stock at the date of each grant. Had compensation cost for the Bank’s 2005, 2004, and 2003 grants for stock-based compensation plans been determined consistent with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” its net income and earnings per common share for December 31 would approximate the pro forma amounts below.

Recently issued accounting standards In December 2004 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 123 (R), Share-Based Payment. SFAS 123(R) will provide investors and other users of financial statements with more complete and neutral financial information by requiring that the compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in financial statements. That cost will be measured based on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. SFAS 123(R) replaces FASB Statement No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”. In April 2005, the SEC approved the delay of the effective date, requiring public companies to apply SFAS 123(R) in their next fiscal year. Bancorp will adopt SFAS 123(R) in the first interim period of fiscal 2006. The adoption of SFAS 123 (R)’s fair value method is not expected to have a material impact on the future results of operations; however the actual impact of adoption of SFAS 123 (R) cannot be predicted at this time because it will depend on levels of share-based payments granted in the future. Statement 123 (R) also requires the benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation cost to be reported as a financing cash flow, rather than as an operating cash flow as required under current accounting literature. This requirement will reduce net operating cash flows and increase net financing cash flows in periods after adoption.

Reclassifications - Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2004 and 2003 financial statements to conform to current year presentations.

The investment securities shown above currently have fair values less than amortized costs and therefore contain unrealized losses. The Bank has evaluated these securities and has determined that the decline in value is temporary and is related to the change in market interest rates since purchase. The decline in value is not related to any company or industry-specific event. There are seven investment securities with unrealized losses at December 31, 2005. The Bank anticipates full recovery of amortized costs with respect to these securities at maturity, or sooner in the event of a more favorable market interest rate environment.

A substantial portion of the Bank’s loans are collateralized by real estate in the geographic areas it serves and, accordingly, the ultimate collectibility of a substantial portion of the Bank’s loan portfolio is susceptible to changes in the local market conditions.

In the normal course of business, the Bank participates portions of loans to third parties in order to extend the Bank’s lending capability or to mitigate risk. At December 31, 2005 and 2004, the portion of these loans participated to third parties (which are not included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements) totaled $8,684,138 and $5,778,115, respectively.

Impaired loans having recorded investments of $356,006 and $112,706 at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, have been recognized. The average recorded investment in impaired loans during 2005 and 2004 was $205,633 and $55,033, respectively. The total allowance for loan losses allocated to these loans was $178,003 and $56,353 at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Interest income recognized for cash payments received on impaired loans in 2005, 2004, and 2003, was not material to the consolidated financial statements. In addition, no loans past due 90 days or more were still accruing interest at December 31, 2005 and 2004.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK

In the normal course of business, the Bank is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Those instruments involve elements of credit and interest rate risk similar to the amounts recognized in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The contract or notional amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of the Bank’s involvement in particular classes of financial instruments.

The Bank’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual notional amount of those instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. While most commercial letters of credit are not utilized, a significant portion of such utilization is on an immediate payment basis.

The Bank evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if it is deemed necessary by the Bank upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral held varies but may include cash, accounts receivable, inventory, property and equipment, and income-producing commercial properties.

Commercial and standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers.
 
The Bank holds cash, marketable securities, or real estate as collateral supporting those commitments for which collateral is deemed necessary.

A summary of the notional amounts of the Bank’s financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk at December 31, 2005, were as follows:
 
Commitments to extend credit
 
$
22,154,673
 
Commercial and standby letters of credit
   
562,500
 
         
   
$
22,717,173
 
 
Additionally, the Bank sells real estate loans to the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (see Note 3). The Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation has the right to reject a loan that it has previously purchased and require the seller to repurchase the loan in the event of fraud or material misstatement of fact in the loan application.

CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK

All of the Bank’s loans, commitments, and commercial and standby letters of credit have been granted to customers in the Bank’s market area. Nearly all such customers are depositors of the Bank. Investments in state and municipal securities involve government entities throughout the United States. Concentrations of credit by type of loan are set forth in Note 3. The distribution of commitments to extend credit approximates the distribution of loans outstanding. Commercial and standby letters of credit were granted primarily to commercial borrowers as of December 31, 2005. The Bank’s loan policy does not allow the extension of credit to any single borrower or group of related borrowers in excess of the Bank’s legal lending limit, which is generally 15% of aggregate common stock and surplus.

FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS - (continued)

While estimates of fair value are based on management’s judgment of the most appropriate factors, there is no assurance that were the Bank to have disposed of such items at December 31, 2005 and 2004, the estimated fair values would necessarily have been achieved at that date, since market values may differ depending on various circumstances. The estimated fair values at December 31, 2005 and 2004 should not necessarily be considered to apply at subsequent dates.

In addition, other assets and liabilities of the Bank that are not defined as financial instruments are not included in the above disclosures, such as premises and equipment. Also, nonfinancial instruments typically not recognized in the consolidated financial statements nevertheless may have value but are not included in the above disclosures. These include, among other items, the estimated earnings power of core deposit accounts, the trained work force, customer goodwill, and similar items.

STOCK OPTION PLAN
 
The Bancorp has an incentive stock option plan which was approved by its stockholders during 2004. The plan provides for an aggregate of 10% of all issued and outstanding shares of Bancorp’s common stock to be granted to key employees. The purchase price of optioned shares is not to be less than the fair market value at the time the options are granted. Options granted are exercisable on the date five years after the option is granted, and expire ten years after the grant date or the date the employee ceases employment with the Bank.

PROFIT SHARING, DEFERRED COMPENSATION, AND INCENTIVE PLANS

Effective January 1, 1998, the Bank adopted a Simple Retirement Plan which covers substantially all employees once minimum length of employment criteria has been met. Contributions to the plan totaled $75,969, $77,405, and $50,926 during 2005, 2004, and 2003, respectively.

The Bank has also established a nonqualified deferred compensation and an incentive plan for a group of key management employees. The Bank may, but is not required to, award incentive compensation, which is credited to Incentive Contribution Accounts maintained for each of these participants. Participants are also allowed to elect to defer a portion of their compensation. For the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004, and 2003, the Bank recorded expenses of $178,007, $94,212, and $91,845, respectively, to fund the program.

All loans and commitments to loan included in such transactions were made in compliance with applicable laws on substantially the same terms (including interest rates and collateral) as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with other persons and, in the opinion of the management of the Bank, do not involve more than the normal risk of collectibility or present any other unfavorable features.

REGULATORY MATTERS

Bancorp and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by federal and state banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum requirements can initiate certain mandatory - and possibly additional discretionary - actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on Bancorp’s and the Bank’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, banks must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of Bancorp’s and the Bank’s assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. 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 Bancorp and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the following table) of total and Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier 1 capital to average assets (as defined). Management believes, as of December 31, 2005, that Bancorp and the Bank meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.

As of the most recent notifications from their regulatory agencies, Bancorp and the Bank were categorized as well-capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as adequately capitalized, Bancorp and the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based capital, Tier 1 risk-based capital, and Tier 1 leverage capital ratios as set forth in the following table. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes may have changed Bancorp’s and the Bank’s category.

TRUST PREFERRED SECURITIES

At December 31, 2005, Bancorp had a wholly-owned trust (“Trust’) that was formed to issue trust preferred securities and related common securities of the Trust. As a result of adoption of FIN 46R, Bancorp deconsolidated the Trust as of and for the year ended December 31, 2004. The junior subordinated debentures are reflected as long-term debt in the consolidated balance sheets.

Oregon Pacific Statutory Trust 1 is a wholly-owned Connecticut statutory business trust subsidiary which issued $4,000,000 of guaranteed undivided beneficial interests in Bancorp’s floating rate Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debentures (Trust Preferred Securities). These debentures qualify as Tier 1 capital under regulatory guidelines. All common securities of the Trust are owned by Bancorp. The proceeds from the issuance of the common securities and the Trust Preferred Securities were used by the Trust to purchase $4,124,000 of subordinated deferrable interest debentures of Bancorp. The debentures, which represent the sole asset of the Trust, possess the same terms as the Trust Preferred Securities and accrue interest at a rate of the three-month London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus 2.85% per annum which changes quarterly. The rate throughout 2005 varied between 5.35% and 7.35%. The accrued interest on the debentures is paid to the Trust by Bancorp, and the Trust in turn distributes the interest income as dividends on the Trust Preferred Securities. Interest payments are deferrable at the discretion of Bancorp for the first five years. As of December 31, 2005, all interest payments to the Trust and all dividend payments by the Trust were current.

In conjunction with the issuance of the Trust Preferred Securities, Bancorp entered into contractual arrangements which, taken collectively, fully and unconditionally guarantee payment of (1) accrued and unpaid distributions required to be paid on the Trust Preferred Securities, (2) the redemption price with respect to any Trust Preferred Securities called for redemption by the Trust, and (3) payments due upon a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, winding up, or liquidation of the Trust. The Trust Preferred Securities are mandatorily redeemable upon maturity of the debentures on December 17, 2033, or upon earlier redemption as provided in the indenture. Bancorp has the right to redeem the debentures purchased by the Trust in whole or in part, on or after December 17, 2008. As specified in the indenture, if the debentures are redeemed prior to maturity, the redemption price will be the principal amount and any accrued but unpaid interest. For the year-ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, Bancorp’s interest expense related to the Trust Preferred Securities amounted to $248,963 and $177,405, respectively.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Within 90 days prior to the date of this report we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Our principal executive and financial officers supervised and participated in this evaluation. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive and financial officers each concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information required to be included in our periodic reports to the SEC. The design of any system of controls is based in part upon various assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any of our plans, products, services or procedures will succeed in achieving their intended goals under future conditions. In addition, there have been no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors known to management that could significantly affect our internal controls subsequent to our most recent evaluation. We have found no facts that would require us to take any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies or material weaknesses.
