Looking Information
This
document contains forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and
uncertainties. These statements are based on the beliefs and assumptions of
our
management, and on information currently available to them. Forward-looking
statements include the information concerning our possible future results of
operations set forth under “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations” and statements preceded by, followed by or
that include the words “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,”
“estimates” or similar expressions.
Any
forward-looking statements in this document are subject to risks relating to,
among other things, the factors described under the heading "Risk Factors"
below, as well as the following:
1.
competitive
pressures among depository and other financial institutions that may impede
our
ability to attract and retain borrowers, depositors and other customers, retain
our key employees, and/or maintain our interest margins and fee
income;
2. our
growth strategy, particularly if accomplished through acquisitions, which may
not be successful if we fail to accurately assess market opportunities, asset
quality, anticipated cost savings, and transaction costs, or experience
significant difficulty integrating acquired businesses or assets or opening
new
branches or lending offices;
3. expenses
and dedication of management resources in connection with our efforts to comply
with changing laws, regulations, and standards, that may significantly increase
our costs and ongoing compliance expenditures and place additional burdens
on
our limited management resources, or may lead to revisions to our strategic
focus;
4. general
economic or business conditions, either nationally or in the state or regions
in
which we do business, that may be less favorable than expected, resulting in,
among other things, a deterioration in credit quality and/or a reduced demand
for credit;
5. any
failure to comply with developing and changing standards of corporate governance
and disclosure and internal control that could result in negative publicity,
leading to declines in our stock price;
6. decreases
in real estate prices, whether or not due to changes in economic conditions,
that may reduce the value of our security for many of our loans;
and
7.
a
lack of
liquidity in the market for our common stock that may make it difficult or
impossible for you to liquidate your investment in our stock or lead to
distortions in the market price of our stock.
Our
management believes our forward-looking statements are reasonable; however,
you
should not place undue reliance on them. Forward-looking statements are not
guarantees of performance. They involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions.
Many of the factors that will determine our future results and share value
are
beyond our ability to control or predict. We undertake no obligation to update
forward-looking statements.

ITEM
1. Business
Pacific
Financial Corporation (the Company or Pacific) is a bank holding company
headquartered in Aberdeen, Washington. The Company owns one bank, Bank of the
Pacific (sometimes referred to as the "Bank"), which is also located in
Washington. The Company was incorporated in the State of Washington on February
12, 1997, pursuant to a holding company reorganization of the Bank.
The
Company conducts its banking business through 18 branches located in communities
throughout Grays Harbor, Pacific, and Wahkiakum Counties in Southwest
Washington, and Whatcom and Skagit Counties in Northwest Washington. The Company
also operates a branch in Gearhart, Oregon. There were no new branches opened
during 2007. Two branches were opened during 2006 and one loan production office
was converted to a full-service branch. Five locations in Whatcom County were
acquired as part of Pacific’s acquisition of BNW Bancorp, Inc. (BNW) completed
on February 27, 2004.
Pacific
Financial Corporation is a reporting company with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC), and the Company’s common stock is listed on the OTC Bulletin
Board™ under the symbol PFLC.OB. At December 31, 2007, the Company had total
consolidated assets of $565.6 million, total loans, including loans held for
sale, of $456.1 million, total deposits of $467.3 million, and total
shareholders’ equity of $50.1 million.
Pacific’s
filings with the SEC, including its annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly
reports on Form 10-Q, periodic current reports on Form 8-K and amendments to
these reports, are available free of charge through links from our website
at
http://www.thebankofpacific.com
to the
SEC’s site at http://www.sec.gov,
as soon
as reasonably practicable after filing with the SEC. You may also access our
filings with the SEC directly from the EDGAR database found on the SEC’s
website. By making reference to our website above and elsewhere in this report,
we do not intend to incorporate any information from our site into this report.
The
Bank
Bank
of
the Pacific was organized in 1978 and opened for business in 1979 to meet the
need for a regional community bank with local interests to serve the small
to
medium-sized businesses and professionals in the coastal region of Western
Washington. Services offered by the Bank include commercial loans, agriculture
loans, installment loans, real estate loans, residential mortgage loans and
personal and business deposit products.
The
Bank
originates loans primarily in its local markets. Its underwriting policies
focus
on assessment of each borrower’s ability to service and repay the debt, and the
availability of collateral that can be used to secure the loan. Depending on
the
nature of the borrower and the purpose and amount of the loan, the Bank’s loans
may be secured by a variety of collateral, including business assets, real
estate, and personal assets.
The
Bank’s commercial and agricultural loans consist primarily of secured revolving
operating lines of credit and business term loans, some of which may be
partially guaranteed by the Small Business Administration or the U.S. Department
of Agriculture. Consumer installment loans and other loans represent a small
percentage of total outstanding loans and include home equity loans, auto loans,
boat loans, and personal lines of credit.
The
Bank’s primary sources of deposits are from individuals and businesses in its
local markets. A concerted effort has been made to attract deposits in the
local
market areas through competitive pricing and delivery of quality products.
These
products include demand accounts, negotiable order of withdrawal accounts,
money
market investment accounts, savings accounts and time deposits. The Bank may
also utilize brokered deposits from time to time.
4
The
Bank
provides 24 hour online banking to its customers with access to account balances
and transaction histories, plus an electronic check register to make account
management and reconciliation simple. The online banking system is compatible
with budgeting software like Intuit’s Quicken® or Microsoft’s Money®. In
addition, the online banking system includes the ability to transfer funds,
make
loan payments, reorder checks, and request statement reprints, provides loan
calculators and allows for e-mail exchanges with representatives of the Bank.
Also for a nominal fee, customers can request stop payments and pay an unlimited
number of bills online. These services along with rate information and other
information can be accessed through the Bank’s website at http://www.thebankofpacific.com.
The
Bank’s deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC)
up to applicable legal limits under the Bank Insurance Fund. The Bank is a
member of the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) and is regulated by the Washington
Department of Financial Institutions, Division of Banks (Division), and the
FDIC.
PFC
Statutory Trusts I and II
PFC
Statutory Trust I and II are wholly-owned subsidiary trusts of the Company
formed to facilitate the issuance of pooled trust preferred securities (“trust
preferred securities”). The trusts were organized in December 2005 and June 2006
in connection with two offerings of trust preferred securities. For more
information regarding the Company’s issuance of trust preferred securities, see
note 8 “Junior Subordinated Debentures” to Pacific’s audited consolidated
financial statements included in Item 8 of this report.
Competition
Competition
in the banking industry is significant and has intensified as the regulatory
environment has grown more permissive. Banks face a growing number of
competitors and greater degree of competition with respect to the provision
of
banking services and the attracting of deposits. Non-bank and non-depository
institutions can be expected to increase competition further as they offer
bank-type products in the more permissive regulatory climate of today.
The
Bank
competes in Grays Harbor County with well-established thrifts which are
headquartered in the area along with branches of large banks with headquarters
outside the area. The Bank also competes with well-established small community
banks, branches of large banks, thrifts and credit unions in Pacific and
Wahkiakum Counties in the state of Washington and Clatsop County in the state
of
Oregon. In Whatcom County and Skagit County, Washington, the Bank also competes
with large regional and super-regional financial institutions that do not have
a
significant presence in the Company’s historical market areas. The Company
believes Whatcom County provides opportunities for expansion, but in pursuing
that expansion it faces greater competitive challenges than it faces in its
historical market areas.
The
adoption of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 (the Financial Services
Modernization Act) eliminated many of the barriers to affiliation among
providers of financial services and further opened the door to business
combinations involving banks, insurance companies, securities or brokerage
firms, and others. This regulatory change has led to further consolidation
in
the financial services industry and the creation of financial conglomerates
which frequently offer multiple financial services, including deposit services,
brokerage and others. When combined with technological developments such as
the
Internet that have reduced barriers to entry faced by companies physically
located outside the Company’s market area, changes in the market have resulted
in increased competition and can be expected to result in further increases
in
competition in the future. Competition in the market for deposits has increased
significantly.
5
Although
it cannot guarantee that it will continue to do so, the Company has been able
to
maintain a competitive advantage in its historical markets as a result of its
status as a local institution, offering products and services tailored to the
needs of the community. Further, because of the extensive experience of
management in its market area and the business contacts of management and the
Company’s directors, management believes the Company can continue to compete
effectively.
According
to the Market Share Report compiled by the FDIC, as of June 30, 2007, the
Company held a deposit market share of 30.0% in Pacific County, 45.1% in
Wahkiakum County, 21.3% in Grays Harbor County, 3.4% in Whatcom County, 0.4%
in
Skagit County and 0.1% in Clatsop County.
Employees
As
of
December 31, 2007, the Bank employed 212 full time equivalent employees.
Management believes relations with its employees are good.
Supervision
and Regulation
The
following is a general description of certain significant statutes and
regulations affecting the banking industry. The following discussion is intended
to provide a brief summary and, therefore, is not complete and is qualified
by
the statutes and regulations referenced.
The
laws
and regulations applicable to the Company and its subsidiary are primarily
intended to protect depositors of the Bank and not stockholders of the Company.
Proposals to change the laws and regulations governing the banking industry
are
frequently introduced in Congress, in state legislatures and before the various
bank regulatory agencies. The likelihood and timing of any such proposals or
legislation and the impact they might have on the Company cannot be determined.
Changes in applicable laws or regulations or in the policies of banking and
other government regulators may have a material effect on our business and
prospects. Violation of the laws and regulations applicable to the Company
may
result in assessment of substantial civil monetary penalties, the imposition
of
a cease and desist order, and other regulatory sanctions, as well as private
litigation.
General
As
a bank
holding company, the Company is subject to the Bank Holding Company Act of
1956,
as amended (BHCA), which places the Company under the supervision of the Board
of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the Federal Reserve). The Company
must file annual reports with the Federal Reserve and must provide it with
such
additional information as it may require. In addition, the Federal Reserve
periodically examines the Company and the Bank.
Bank
Holding Company Regulation
In
general, the BHCA limits a bank holding company to owning or controlling banks
and engaging in other banking-related activities. Bank holding companies must
obtain approval of the Federal Reserve before they: (1) acquire direct or
indirect ownership or control of any voting shares of any bank that results
in
total ownership or control, directly or indirectly, of more than 5% of the
voting shares of such bank; (2) merge or consolidate with another bank holding
company; or (3) acquire substantially all of the assets of another bank or
bank
holding company. In acting on applications for such prior approval, the Federal
Reserve considers various factors, including, without limitation, the effect
of
the proposed transaction on competition in relevant geographic and product
markets, and each transaction party's financial condition, managerial resources
and performance record under the Community Reinvestment Act.
6
Control
of Nonbanks.
With
certain exceptions, the BHCA prohibits bank holding companies from acquiring
direct or indirect ownership or control of more than 5% of the voting shares
in
any company that is not a bank or a bank holding company unless the Federal
Reserve determines that the activities of such company are incidental or closely
related to the business of banking. If a bank holding company is
well-capitalized and meets certain criteria specified by the Federal Reserve,
it
may engage de novo in certain permissible nonbanking activities without prior
Federal Reserve approval.
Control
Transactions.
The
Change in Bank Control Act of 1978, as amended, requires a person (or group
of
persons acting in concert) acquiring control of a bank holding company to
provide the Federal Reserve with 60 days’ prior written notice of the proposed
acquisition. Following receipt of this notice, the Federal Reserve has 60 days
within which to issue a notice disapproving the proposed acquisition, but the
Federal Reserve may extend this time period for up to another 30 days. An
acquisition may be completed before expiration of the disapproval period if
the
Federal Reserve issues written notice of its intent not to disapprove the
transaction. In addition, any company must obtain approval of the Federal
Reserve before acquiring 25% (5% if the company is a bank holding company)
or
more of the outstanding shares or otherwise obtaining control over the
Company.
Source
of Strength Requirements.
Under
Federal Reserve policy, the Company is expected to act as a source of financial
and managerial strength to the Bank. This means that the Company is required
to
commit, as necessary, resources to support the Bank. Any capital loans made
by
the Company to the Bank would be subordinate in priority to deposits and to
certain other indebtedness of the Bank.
Financial
Services Modernization Act
On
November 12, 1999, the Financial Services Modernization Act (the “FSMA”) was
signed into law. The FSMA repeals the two affiliation provisions of the
Glass-Steagall Act: Section 20, which restricted the affiliation of Federal
Reserve member banks with firms “engaged principally” in specified securities
activities; and Section 32, which restricts officer, director, or employee
interlocks between a member bank and any company or person “primarily engaged”
in specified securities activities. In addition, the FSMA contains provisions
that expressly preempt any state law restricting the establishment of financial
affiliations, primarily related to insurance. The general effect of the law
is
to establish a comprehensive framework to permit affiliations among commercial
banks, insurance companies, securities firms, and other financial service
providers by revising and expanding the bank holding company framework to permit
a holding company system to engage in a full range of financial activities
through a new entity known as a financial holding company.
Financial
holding companies may affiliate with securities firms and insurance companies
and engage in other activities that are financial in nature or are incidental
or
complementary to activities that are financial in nature. “Financial in nature”
activities include securities underwriting, dealing, and market making,
sponsoring mutual funds and investment companies, insurance underwriting and
agency, merchant banking, and other activities approved by the Federal Reserve.
Tie-In
Arrangements
The
Company and the Bank cannot engage 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 the Company nor the
Bank
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.
7
USA
Patriot Act of 2001
On
October 26, 2001, President Bush signed the Uniting and Strengthening America
by
Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism (USA
Patriot Act) of 2001. Among other things, the USA Patriot Act (1) prohibits
banks from providing correspondent accounts directly to foreign shell banks;
(2)
imposes due diligence requirements on banks opening or holding accounts for
foreign financial institutions or wealthy foreign individuals; (3) requires
financial institutions to establish an anti-money-laundering compliance program,
and (4) eliminates civil liability for persons who file suspicious activity
reports. The USA Patriot Act also increases governmental powers to investigate
terrorism, including expanded government access to account records. The
Department of the Treasury is empowered to administer and make rules to
implement the act. We do not believe that compliance with the USA Patriot Act
has had a material effect on our business and operations.
The
Bank
General
The
Bank,
as an FDIC insured state-chartered bank, is subject to regulation and
examination by the FDIC and the Department of Financial Institutions of the
State of Washington. The federal laws that apply to the Bank regulate, among
other things, the scope of its business, its investments, its reserves against
deposits, the timing of the availability of deposited funds and the nature
and
amount of and collateral for loans.
CRA.
The
Community Reinvestment Act (the CRA) requires that, in connection with
examinations of financial institutions within their jurisdiction, 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. These factors
are
also considered in evaluating mergers, acquisitions, and applications to open
a
branch or facility. In connection with the FDIC’s assessment of the record of
financial institutions under the CRA, it assigns a rating of either,
“outstanding,” “satisfactory,” “needs to improve,” or “substantial
noncompliance” following an examination. The Bank received a CRA rating of
“satisfactory” during its most recent examination.
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 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 of 1991 (FDICIA), each
federal banking agency has prescribed, by regulation, noncapital safety and
soundness standards for institutions under its authority. These standards cover
internal controls, information systems, and 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 will materially affect the Company’s business or
operations.
8
Interstate
Banking and Branching
The
Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994 (the
Interstate Act) permits nationwide interstate banking and branching under
certain circumstances. This legislation generally authorizes interstate
branching and relaxes federal law restrictions on interstate banking. Currently,
bank holding companies may purchase banks in any state, and states may not
prohibit such purchases. Additionally, banks are permitted to merge with banks
in other states as long as the home state of neither merging bank has opted
out.
The Interstate Act requires regulators to consult with community organizations
before permitting an interstate institution to close a branch in a low-income
area.
With
regard to interstate bank mergers, Washington
has
opted in to the Interstate Act and allows in-state banks to merge with
out-of-state banks subject to certain aging requirements. Washington law
generally authorizes the acquisition of an in-state bank by an out-of-state
bank
through merger with a Washington financial institution that has been in
existence for at least 5 years prior to the acquisition. With regard to
interstate bank branching, out-of-state banks that do not already operate a
branch in Washington may not establish de novo branches in Washington or
establish and operate a branch by acquiring a branch in Washington.
Under
FDIC regulations, banks are prohibited from using their interstate branches
primarily for deposit production. The FDIC has accordingly implemented a
loan-to-deposit ratio screen to ensure compliance with this
prohibition.
Deposit
Insurance
The
deposits of the Bank are currently insured to a maximum of $100,000 per
depositor, and certain self-directed retirement accounts up to $250,000 per
depositor, through the Bank Insurance Fund administered by the FDIC. All insured
banks are required to pay semi-annual deposit insurance premium assessments
to
the FDIC.
FDICIA
included provisions to reform the Federal deposit insurance system, including
the implementation of risk-based deposit insurance premiums. 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 insurance fund. 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 presently qualifies for the lowest premium level.
Dividends
The
principal source of the Company’s cash revenues is dividends received from the
Bank. The payment of dividends is subject to government regulation, in that
regulatory authorities may prohibit banks and bank holding companies from paying
dividends in a manner that 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. Other than the laws and regulations noted
above, which apply to all banks and bank holding companies, neither the Company
nor the Bank are currently subject to any regulatory restrictions on their
dividends. Under applicable restrictions, as of December 31, 2007, the Bank
could declare dividends totaling $6,031,000 without obtaining prior regulatory
approval.
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.
9
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
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 bank holding companies includes common shareholders' equity, certain
qualifying perpetual preferred stock and minority interests in equity accounts
of consolidated subsidiaries, less intangibles except as described above and
accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).
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 bank holding company may leverage its
equity capital base. The Federal Reserve requires a minimum leverage ratio
of
3%. However, for all but the most highly rated bank holding companies and for
bank holding companies seeking to expand, the Federal Reserve expects an
additional cushion of at least 1% to 2%.
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. The Company does
not believe that these regulations had a material effect on its operations.
Effects
of Government Monetary Policy
The
earnings and growth of the Company 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
and the Bank cannot be predicted with certainty.

ITEM
1A. Risk
Factors
The
following are the material risks that management believes are specific
to our
business. This should not be viewed as an all inclusive list or in any
particular order.
Future
loan losses may exceed our allowance for loan losses.
We
are
subject to credit risk, which is the risk of losing principal or interest due
to
borrowers’ failure to repay loans in accordance with their terms. A downturn in
the economy or the real estate market in our market areas or a rapid change
in
interest rates could have a negative effect on collateral values and borrowers’
ability to repay. This deterioration in economic conditions could result in
losses to the Company in excess of loan loss allowances. To the extent loans
are
not paid timely by borrowers, the loans are placed on non-accrual, thereby
reducing interest income or even requiring reversals of previously recorded
income. To the extent loan charge-offs exceed our financial models, increased
amounts charged to the provision for loan losses would reduce
income.
Rapidly
changing interest rate environments could reduce our net interest margin, net
interest income, fee income and net income.
Interest
and fees on loans and securities, net of interest paid on deposits and
borrowings, are a large part of our net income. Interest rates are key drivers
of our net interest margin and subject to many factors beyond the control of
management. As interest rates change, net interest income is affected. Rapid
increases in interest rates in the future could result in interest expense
increasing faster than interest income because of mismatches in financial
instrument maturities. Further, substantially higher interest rates generally
reduce loan demand and may result in slower loan growth, particularly in
commercial real estate lending, an important factor in the Company’s revenue
growth over the past two years. Decreases or increases in interest rates could
reduce the spreads between the interest rates earned on assets and the rates
of
interest paid on liabilities, and therefore decrease net interest income. See
“Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.”
Recent
disruptions in the credit markets and expected weakness in real estate values
in
the markets in which we make loans may adversely affect our
operations.
Companies
have recently experienced higher than anticipated levels of borrower defaults
and lender foreclosures on many loan products, but particularly on sub-prime
mortgage obligations. These defaults and other factors have led to disruptions
in the credit markets and dramatic declines in the market for real estate in
many areas. The areas in which we operate have been less affected by the credit
crisis and declines in real estate values than others, but there is a
possibility that our local real estate markets will experience increased
declines in real estate values. In addition, there is a possibility that
economic conditions will deteriorate. If the real estate market declines it
could decrease the value and salability of the collateral for many of our loans.
If the local economy deteriorates, we may see an increase in loan defaults.
If
defaults increase, we would likely foreclose on and take title to the real
estate serving as collateral for many loans. Property ownership increases our
expenses due to the costs of managing and disposing of properties. Also, we
would then become directly affected by any decrease in sale prices on real
estate we own, which could lead to write-downs. There is also a risk that
hazardous or toxic substances will be found on properties, in which case we
may
be liable for remediation costs and related personal injury and property damage
and the value of the property may be materially reduced. In general, the costs
and financial liabilities associated with property ownership could have a
material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of
operations.
Slower
than anticipated growth in new branches and new product and service offerings
could result in reduced net income.
We
have
placed a strategic emphasis on expanding our branch network and product
offerings. Executing this strategy carries risks of slower than anticipated
growth both in new branches and new products. New branches and products require
a significant investment of both financial and personnel resources. Lower than
expected loan and deposit growth from new investments can result in revenues
and
net income generated by those investments that are less than anticipated. Also,
opening new branches and introducing new products could result in more
additional expenses than anticipated and divert resources from current
operations.
11
The
financial services industry is very competitive.
We
face
competition in attracting and retaining deposits, making loans, and providing
other financial services throughout our market area. Our competitors include
other community banks, larger banking institutions, and a wide range of other
financial institutions such as credit unions, government-sponsored enterprises,
mutual fund companies, insurance companies and other non-bank businesses. Many
of these competitors have substantially greater resources than us. For a more
complete discussion of our competitive environment, see “Business-Competition”
in Item 1 above. If we are unable to compete effectively, we will lose market
share and face a reduction in our income from our lending
activities.
Decreased
volumes and lower gains on sales of mortgage loans sold could reduce net
income.
We
originate and sell mortgage loans. Changes in interest rates and other market
conditions affect demand for our loan products and the revenue realized on
the
sale of loans. A decrease in the volume of loans sold can decrease our revenues
and net income.
Significant
legal or regulatory actions could subject us to uninsured liabilities and
associated reputational risk.
From
time
to time, we are sued for damages or threatened with lawsuits relating to various
aspects of our operations. We may also be subject to investigations and possibly
civil money penalties assessed by federal or state regulators in connection
with
violations of applicable laws and regulations. We may incur substantial attorney
fees and expenses in the process of defending against lawsuits or regulatory
actions and our insurance policies may not cover, or cover adequately, the
costs
of adverse judgments, civil money penalties, and attorney fees and expenses.
As
a result, we may be exposed to substantial uninsured liabilities that could
adversely affect our results of operations, capital, and financial condition.
There is also a risk that legal or regulatory actions could harm our reputation,
which, whether successfully defended or not, could cause a decline in our
customer base, stock price, or general reputation in the markets in which we
operate.
The
Company is subject to extensive regulation.
The
Company’s operations are subject to extensive regulation by federal and state
banking authorities which impose requirements and restrictions on the Company’s
operations. The impact of changes to laws and regulations or other actions
by
regulatory agencies could make regulatory compliance more difficult or expensive
for the Company and could adversely affect the Company’s financial condition or
results of operations.
Any
regulatory response to the sub-prime mortgage crisis could have a negative
effect on the way we conduct our business.
Federal
and state banking regulators have expressed concern with the high level of
write-downs being taken by many financial institutions and the increase in
defaults by many borrowers. In response, federal and state legislators and
regulators may pursue increased regulation of lenders, including the methods
by
which loans are originated, purchased, or sold. Any legislative or regulatory
response may impact how the Bank originates, buys and sells loans in the future
or how the Bank underwrites loans that it originates, any of which could have
a
negative affect on our operations, including by reducing the liquidity provided
to us by the secondary loan markets.
12
Inability
to hire or retain certain key professionals, management and staff could reduce
our revenues and net income.
We
rely
on key personnel to manage and operate our business, including important
functions such as deposit generation and loan production. The loss of key staff
may adversely affect our ability to maintain and manage these functions
effectively, which could negatively affect our revenues and net income. In
addition, loss of key personnel could result in increased recruiting and hiring
expenses, which could cause higher than expected expenses and a decrease in
our
net income.
Our
information systems may experience an interruption or breach in
security.
We
rely
heavily on communication and information systems to conduct our business. Any
failure, interruption or breach in security of these systems could result in
failures or disruptions in our customer relationship management, general ledger,
deposit, loan and other systems. While we have policies and procedures designed
to prevent or limit the effect of the possible failure, interruption or security
breach of our information systems, there can be no assurance that any such
failures, interruptions or security breaches will not occur or, if they do
occur, that they will be adequately addressed. The occurrence of any failures,
interruptions or security breaches of our information systems could damage
our
reputation, result in a loss of customer business, subject us to additional
regulatory scrutiny, or expose us to civil litigation and possible financial
liability, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial
condition and results of operation.
The
Company’s controls and procedures may fail or be
circumvented.
Management
regularly reviews and updates the Company’s internal controls, disclosure
controls and procedures, and corporate governance policies and procedures.
Any
system of controls, however well designed and operated, is based in part on
certain assumptions and can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance
that the objectives of the system are met. Any failure or circumvention of
the
Company’s controls and procedures or failure to comply with regulations related
to controls and procedures could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s
business, results of operations and financial condition.

As
of
December 31, 2007, there were approximately 1,153 shareholders of record of
the
Company’s common stock. Mellon Investor Services LLC serves as the transfer
agent for our common stock.
The
Company’s Board of Directors declared dividends on its common stock in December
2007 and 2006 in the amount of $.75 per share. The Board of Directors has
adopted a dividend policy which is reviewed annually. There can be no assurance
the Company will continue its dividend or declare and pay dividends at
historical rates. Payment of dividends is subject to regulatory limitations.
Under federal banking law, the payment of dividends by the Company and the
Bank
is subject to capital adequacy requirements established by the Federal Reserve
and the FDIC. Under Washington general corporate law as it applies to the
Company, no cash dividend may be declared or paid if, after giving effect to
the
dividend, the Company would not be able to pay its liabilities as they become
due or its liabilities exceed its assets. Payment of dividends on the Common
Stock is also affected by statutory limitations, which restrict the ability
of
the Bank to pay upstream dividends to the Company. Under Washington banking
law
as it applies to the Bank, no dividend may be declared or paid in an amount
greater than net profits then available, and after a portion of such net profits
have been added to the surplus funds of the Bank. Under applicable restrictions,
as of December 31, 2007, the Bank could declare dividends totaling $6,031,000
without obtaining prior regulatory approval.

ITEM
7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations
The
following discussion should be read in conjunction with Pacific's audited
consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in
this
report. In addition, please refer to Pacific's forward-looking statement
disclosure included in Part I of this report.
EXECUTIVE
OVERVIEW
Net
income in 2007 was $6,031,000, or $0.90 per diluted share compared to
$6,551,000, or $0.99 per diluted share in 2006. The following are major factors
impacting the Company’s results of operations for 2007 as compared to
2006.
·
|
Net
interest income increased by 2.7% or $636,000 to $24,503,000 as compared
to 2006. The increase was primarily due to growth in earning assets
which
was partially offset by margin compression. Growth in earning assets
was
mainly driven by loan production and was funded from federal funds
sold
and interest bearing deposits.
|
·
|
The
net interest margin for 2007 declined to 4.82% compared to 5.04%
in 2006.
The decrease in the net interest margin was mainly attributable to
rate
reductions in the Federal Funds rate by the Federal Open Market Committee
(FOMC) in the third and fourth quarters of 2007 of a combined 100
basis
points which caused an immediate reduction in the variable rate loan
portfolio and a delayed reduction of the Bank’s costs of its portfolio of
time deposits. To a lesser extent, a change in the loan portfolio
mix
contributed to the margin compression, as the majority of the loan
growth
in 2007 came from government guaranteed loans which generally have
a lower
yield than real estate or commercial loans. In addition, the slight
decrease in demand deposits and increase in savings and interest-bearing
demand deposits contributed to the decrease in net interest
margin.
|
·
|
The
loan loss provision decreased $143,000, or 22.9%, to $482,000 for
2007 due
primarily to flat growth in the non-government guaranteed loan portfolio
and a large single recovery of a credit during 2007 in the amount
of
$619,000. Management’s assessment of the credit risk inherent in the
portfolio is based on a migration, quantitative and qualitative analysis,
other historical factors and
trends.
|
·
|
In
2007, return on average assets and return on average equity decreased
to
1.08% and 11.46%, respectively, compared to 1.26% and 13.16% in 2006
as a
result of the aforementioned net interest margin
compression.
|
The
following are important factors in understanding the Company financial condition
and liquidity:
·
|
Total
assets at December 31, 2007 increased by $3,203,000, or 0.6%, to
$565,587,000 compared to $562,384,000 at the end of 2006. Net loans
(including loans held for sale) grew $15,930,000, or 3.7%, to $451,066,000
compared to $435,136,000 at December 31, 2006. The growth in loans
was
comprised primarily of net increases in government guaranteed
loans.
|
·
|
The
Company purchased an additional $5,000,000 in bank owned life insurance
during the fourth quarter of 2007.
|
·
|
Non-accrual
loans decreased $3,856,000, or 52.5%, to $3,479,000 at December 31,
2007.
This improvement is mainly attributable to the resolution of a single
large problem loan at December 31, 2006 to a borrower in the forest
products industry. We believe the ratio of nonperforming assets to
total
assets of 0.62% at December 31, 2007 reflects the Company’s conservative
underwriting policies and continued efforts to monitor and address
potential credit issues early and
effectively.

Net
Interest Income.
The
Company derives the majority of its earnings from net interest income, which
is
the difference between interest income earned on interest earning assets and
interest expense incurred on interest bearing liabilities. The Company’s net
interest income is affected by the change in the level and mix of
interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, referred to as volume
changes. The Company’s net interest income is also affected by changes in the
yields earned on assets and rates paid on liabilities, referred to as rate
changes. Interest rates charged on loans are affected principally by the demand
for such loans, the supply of money available for lending purposes and
competitive factors. Those factors are, in turn, affected by general economic
conditions and other factors beyond the Company’s control, such as federal
economic policies, legislative tax policies and actions by the FOMC. Interest
rates on deposits are affected primarily by rates charged by competitors and
actions by the FOMC. The following table sets forth information with regard
to
average balances of the interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities
and the resultant yields or cost, net interest income, and the net interest
margin.

Interest
earned on tax-exempt loans and securities has been computed on a

equivalent basis.
|
(2) |
Net
interest income divided by average interest earning
assets.
|
For
purposes of computing the average rate, the Company used historical cost
balances which do not give effect to changes in fair value that are reflected
as
a component of shareholders’ equity. Nonaccrual loans and loans held for sale
are included in “loans.” Interest income on loans include loan fees of
$1,828,000, $1,508,000, and $2,439,000 in 2007, 2006, and 2005,
respectively.
20
Net
interest income on a tax equivalent basis totaled $25,033,000 for the year
ended
December 31, 2007, an increase of $695,000, or 2.9%, compared to 2006. Net
interest income increased 7.1% to $23,867,000 in 2006 compared to 2005. The
Company’s tax equivalent interest income increased 10.2% to $40,666,000 from
year end 2006 to year end 2007, and 23.0% to $36,915,000 in 2006 from
$30,018,000 in 2005. The increase in 2007 is primarily the result of increased
lending volumes, higher loan balances and higher interest rates earned on
interest earning assets. The Company’s average earning assets increased
$34,634,000, or 7.3%, in 2007 and was offset by compression of its net interest
margin. The decrease in net interest margin was due to a 100 basis point
decrease by the FOMC which caused an immediate reduction in the variable
rate
loan portfolio and a delayed reduction of the Company’s costs of time deposits.
Additionally, the FOMC cut the Federal Funds rate another 125 basis points
in
January 2008. Approximately 75% of the Company’s loan portfolio is variable with
pricing tied to indexes that are heavily influenced by short-term interest
rates. Because of its focus on commercial lending, the Company will continue
to
have a high percentage of floating rate loans. We anticipate that the impact
of
lower yields on loans and competition for deposits will continue to put pressure
on our net interest margin.
The
Company’s average loan portfolio increased $38,245,000, or 9.2%, from year end
2006 to year end 2007, and increased $44,086,000, or 11.9%, from 2005 to
2006.
The increase in the average portfolio in 2007 was a result of the purchase
of
$22 million in variable rate loans that are fully guaranteed by U.S. government
agencies. Of this amount, approximately $16 million are real estate loans,
with
the remaining $6 million being commercial loans. Excluding the purchase of
loans
previously mentioned, loan balances are down in 2007 due to softer loan demand.
Additionally, the Company experienced higher than expected prepayments on
the
government guaranteed loan portfolio in 2007 which contributed to a reduction
in
net interest income of $529,000 during the course of the year. The increase
in
loans in 2006 was a result of the Company’s expanded presence in Whatcom County,
which enjoyed a very strong residential real estate construction market in
2006
and to some degree in 2007. Whatcom County is showing some signs of a slow
down
in the real estate market, however, we do not expect that geographic area
to
exhibit the price depreciation and market issues of the same magnitude realized
in other parts of the country due in part to the strong Canadian dollar.
The
Company’s average investment portfolio increased $5,521,000, or 14.3%, from
2006, and decreased $1,029,000, or 2.6%, from 2005 to 2006. The increase
in 2007
was due to management’s decision to redistribute federal funds sold into
investment securities to capture a higher return. The change in 2006 was
due to
maturing investments being utilized to fund loan production.
The
Company’s average deposits increased $30,363,000, or 7.1%, from 2006, and
increased $42,650,000 or 11.0% in 2006 from 2005. The Company attributes
its
growth to its experienced branch staff, a commitment to improving customer
service throughout its branch delivery system, and continued success from
branches opened in 2006. During 2007, average deposits from branches opened
in
recent years contributed $12,389,000 or 40.8%, to the overall increase. Actual
deposit balances outstanding remained flat year over year 2007 to 2006 at
$467,336,000 compared to $466,841,000. Even though the Company offers a wide
variety of retail deposit products to both consumer and commercial customers,
future deposit growth will be challenging as the Company anticipates heightened
market competition.
The
Company increased its average borrowings during 2007 by $6,167,000 or 17.1%,
and
by $9,855,000, or 37.7%, during 2006. The increase in both years is primarily
the result of issuing $8,248,000 in trust preferred securities in June 2006.
Total borrowings consist of advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Seattle,
short-term borrowings with correspondent banks and secured borrowings. The
Company’s overall cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased to 3.78% in
2007 from 3.31% and 2.20% in 2006 and 2005, respectively. The increase in
cost
of interest-bearing liabilities for 2007 was primarily due to competitive
deposit pricing and higher interest rates paid during the first half of 2007.
The increase from 2005 to 2006 was due to the funding of the Company’s loan
growth with time deposits, which are more sensitive to market rate increases
versus funding such growth with lower cost demand, money market, NOW or savings
deposits.
21
Net
interest margins were 4.82%, 5.04%, and 5.25%, for the years ended December
31,
2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively.
The
following table presents changes in net interest income attributable to changes
in volume or rate. Changes not solely due to volume or rate are allocated
to
volume and rate based on the absolute values of each.

Service
charges on deposits increased 2.9% during 2007 and decreased 1.2% during
2006.
The Company continues to emphasize the importance of exceptional customer
service and believes this emphasis, together with the addition of three new
full-service branches in 2006 contributed to the increase in service charge
revenue in 2007. Flattening overdraft revenue in 2006 contributed to the
decrease in service charges in 2006 as the Bank discontinued advertising
of its
overdraft protection product in mid-year.
Income
from sources other than service charges on deposit accounts totaled $2,981,000
in 2007, an increase of $257,000 from 2006, or 9.4%. The largest component
is
gain on sales of loans. The market interest rate environment heavily influences
revenue from mortgage banking activities. Refinance activity continued to
be
strong for most of 2007, as long-term interest rates remained stable, with
a
softening of demand in the fourth quarter which was partially due to issues
surrounding the subprime mortgage crisis. The Company does not engage in
or have
any exposure to subprime loans or subprime mortgage backed securities.
Management expects gains on sale of loans to remain flat in 2008 due to new
home
construction slowing and downward pressure on home values in our markets,
which
may be partially offset by increased refinancing activity from lower interest
rates partially attributable to recent rate reductions by the FOMC. Other
major
components of non-interest income were bank owned life insurance income and
other operating income. The increase in cash surrender value of life insurance
was primarily the result of $5,000,000 in additional policies purchased in
the
fourth quarter of 2007. Other operating income increases for both 2007 and
2006
were attributable primarily to increased merchant card and loan document
preparation fees.
Non-Interest
Expense.
Total
non-interest expense in 2007 was $20,379,000, an increase of $2,261,000 or
12.5%
compared to $18,118,000 in 2006. In 2006, non-interest expense increased
$1,552,000 or 9.4% compared to $16,566,000 in 2005. Changes in non-interest
expense are discussed in greater detail below. The Company expects that
non-interest expense will increase approximately 5% during 2008 as it continues
to make infrastructure improvements to support the future growth of the Company.
The
following table represents the principal categories of non-interest expense
for
each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2007.

Salary
and employee benefits, the largest component of non-interest expense, increased
by $1,671,000, or 15.8%, in 2007 to $12,280,000 and increased by $536,000,
or
5.3%, in 2006 compared to 2005. The increase in 2007 was due in part to filling
key management positions and normal salary increases. The number of full-time
equivalent employees increased from 203 to 212 during 2007. In 2006, higher
salaries, additional employees primarily from new branches and increased
performance-based compensation were the key drivers of increased personnel
expense. Also included in salaries and benefits for 2007 and 2006 was stock
option expense of $97,000 and $36,000, respectively, in accordance with SFAS
No.
123R.
Occupancy
and equipment expenses increased $110,000 to $2,528,000 in 2007 compared
with
$2,418,000 for 2006 due primarily to equipment depreciation expense as a
result
of our continued investment in the technology infrastructure needed to support
the future growth of the Company. Occupancy and equipment expenses increased
$381,000, or 18.7%, for 2006 compared to 2005 due to increased operational
costs
resulting from a full year of expenses associated with the Raymond and
Anacortes, Washington branches opened in early 2006.
23
Marketing
and advertising expense increased 15.5% to $560,000 in 2007 compared with
$485,000 for 2006. The increase in 2007 is due to the Company’s efforts to
increase awareness of its brand in the markets we serve, which included a
strategic brand initiative, an evaluation of marketing materials, and ongoing
customer surveys. The 2006 decline was the result of increased promotional
activity incurred in 2005 to expand the Company’s presence in the Whatcom County
market following the acquisition of BNW and a name change for all BNW
branches.
Data
processing expense decreased 6.9% to $393,000 in 2007 compared with $422,000
for
2006. The decrease is attributable to a full year of savings in 2007 from
the
implementation of back counter image capture which reduced item processing
costs
and expedited funds availability with the Federal Reserve Bank as opposed
to a
partial year of benefits in 2006. Data processing expense decreased $57,000
or
11.9% in 2006 compared to 2005 due to costs savings associated with
consolidating the BNW processing operations into the Company’s existing system.
Other
operating expense increased 9.8% to $4,182,000 in 2007 compared with $3,809,000
for 2006 primarily due to increased software amortization, business travel,
and
training expenses, which were up $149,000, $65,000, and $42,000, respectively.
Additionally, the Company recorded an expense of $115,000 in 2007 relating
to
the settlement of an employment contract dispute. Other operating expenses
increased 21.5% to $3,809,000 in 2006 compared to 2005 primarily due to
increases in accounting and consulting fees, legal fees, FDIC assessments,
and
loan collection expense, each of which were up $354,000, $67,000, $63,000
and
$41,000, respectively.
Income
Tax Expense.
For the
years ended December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005, the provision for income taxes
was $2,086,000, $2,749,000 and $2,653,000, respectively, representing effective
tax rates of 25.7%, 29.6% and 30.5%, respectively. During 2007, the Company
filed amended tax returns for the 2003 and 2004 tax years in order to capture
a
previously unrecognized net operating loss benefit from the BNW acquisition.
This resulted in a $215,000 favorable tax adjustment recorded during 2007.
The
effective tax rates differ from the statutory federal tax rate of 35% largely
due to tax exempt interest income earned on certain investment securities
and
loans, income earned from the increase in cash surrender value of bank owned
life insurance and tax credits from investments in low-income housing projects.
Deferred
income tax assets or liabilities reflect the estimated future tax effects
attributable to differences as to when certain items of income or expense
are
reported in the financial statements versus when they are reported in the
tax
returns. As of December 31, 2007, the Company had a net deferred tax liability
of $441,000.
FINANCIAL
CONDITION
INVESTMENT
PORTFOLIO
The
Company’s investment securities portfolio increased $4,529,000, or 10.6%, during
2007 to $47,241,000, which was offset by a reduction in interest bearing
deposits in banks and federal funds sold. The Company’s investment securities
portfolio increased $6,460,000, or 17.8%, during 2006 to $42,712,000 at year
end
from $36,252,000 in 2005 funded by strong deposit growth in 2006.
The
Company regularly reviews its investment portfolio to determine whether any
of
its securities are other than temporarily impaired. In addition to accounting
and regulatory guidance, in determining whether a security is other than
temporarily impaired, the Company considers duration and amount of each
unrealized loss, the financial condition of the issuer, and the prospects
for a
change in market value and net asset value within a reasonable period of
time.
The securities that have been in a continuous unrealized loss position for
twelve months or longer at December 31, 2007 had investment grade ratings
upon
purchase. The issuers of these securities have not, to the Company’s knowledge,
established any cause for default and the various rating agencies have
reaffirmed the securities’ long-term investment grade status at December 31,
2007. Because the Company has the ability and the intent to hold these
investments until recovery of fair value, which may be at maturity, the Company
does not have any other than temporarily impaired securities at December
31,
2007. Additionally, the Company does not hold any securities backed by subprime
mortgages, collateralized debt obligations, or special investment vehicles
at
December 31, 2007.

LOAN
PORTFOLIO
General.
The
Company’s policy is to originate loans primarily in its local markets. Depending
on the purpose of the loan, the loans may be secured by a variety of collateral,
including business assets, real estate, and personal assets. Loans, including
loans held for sale, represented 81% of total assets as of December 31, 2007,
compared to 78% at December 31, 2006. The majority of the Company’s loan
portfolio is comprised of commercial and industrial loans and real estate
loans.
The commercial and industrial loans are a diverse group of loans to small,
medium, and large businesses for purposes ranging from working capital needs
to
term financing of equipment.
The
Company emphasizes commercial real estate and construction and land development
loans. Our commercial real estate portfolio generally consists of a wide
cross-section of retail, small office, warehouse, and industrial type
properties. A substantial number of these properties are owner-occupied.
Loan to
value ratios for the Company’s commercial real estate loans generally do not
exceed 80% at origination and debt service ratios are generally 125% or better.
While we have significant balances within this lending category, we believe
that
our lending policies and underwriting standards are sufficient to reduce
risk
even if there were to be a downturn in the commercial real estate market.
Additionally, this is a sector in which we have significant and long-term
management experience. During the third quarter of 2007, the Company tightened
its underwriting criteria for advance rates on raw land loans, land development
loans, residential lots, speculative construction for condominiums and all
construction loans.
It
is our
strategic plan to continue to emphasize growth in commercial and small business
loans. We believe this will be a key contributor to growing more low cost
deposits. Additionally, we are currently in the process of automating our
consumer loan approval procedures. We anticipate this system will expedite
the
loan approval process and reduce overhead, while increasing consumer loan
balances, including installment and credit card categories.
26
The
following table sets forth the composition of the Company’s loan portfolio
(including loans held for sale) at December 31 in each of the past five
years.

At
December 31, 2007, 33.9% of the total loan portfolio presented above was
due in
one year or less.
Nonperforming
Assets.
Nonperforming assets are defined as loans on non-accrual status, loans past
due
ninety days or more and still accruing interest, loans which have been
restructured to provide reduction or deferral of interest or principal for
reasons related to the debtor’s financial difficulties, and foreclosed real
estate. The Company’s policy for placing loans on non-accrual status is based
upon management’s evaluation of the ability of the borrower to meet both
principal and interest payments as they become due. Generally, loans with
interest or principal payments which are ninety or more days past due are
placed
on non-accrual (unless they are well-secured and in the process of collection),
and previously accrued interest is reversed against income.
The
following table presents information related to the Company’s non-accrual loans
and other non-performing assets at December 31 in each of the last five years.

Non-accrual
loans totaled $3,479,000 at December 31, 2007, a decrease of $3,856,000 as
compared to $7,335,000 at December 31, 2006. The balance of non-accrual loans
at
year end is equal to 0.76% of total loans including loans held for sale,
compared to 1.67% at December 31, 2006. The totals are net of charge-offs
based
on management’s estimate of fair market value or the result of appraisals. Of
the non-accrual loans at year end 2006 and 2005, $5,603,000 and $5,817,000
related to one borrower involved in the forest products industry, of which
$3,510,000 was guaranteed by the United States Department of Agriculture
(USDA).
The improvement in non-accrual loans in 2007 resulted from the resolution
of
this loan. Loans ninety days or more and still accruing interest of $2,932,000
at December 31, 2007 are made up entirely of two loans which are 100% guaranteed
by the USDA. Subsequent to December 31, 2007, these loans were paid off in
full.
Sales of foreclosed real estate owned totaled $0, $42,000, and $0 during
2007,
2006 and 2005, respectively. We consider the current level of nonperforming
assets to be manageable.
Interest
income on non-accrual loans that would have been recorded had those loans
performed in accordance with their initial terms, as of December 31, was
$270,000 for 2007, $306,000 for 2006, $76,000 for 2005, $8,000 for 2004,
and
$37,000 for 2003. Interest income recognized on impaired loans for 2007 was
$457,000, for 2006 was $272,000, for 2005 was $569,000, for 2004 was $16,000,
and for 2003 was $19,000.
Loan
Concentrations.
The
Company has credit risk exposure related to real estate loans. The Company
makes
loans for acquisition, construction and other purposes that are secured by
real
estate. At December 31, 2007, loans secured by real estate totaled $317,963,000,
which represents 69.7% of the total loan portfolio. Real estate construction
loans comprised $93,249,000 of that amount, while real estate loans secured
by
residential properties totaled $60,616,000. As a result of these concentrations
of loans, the loan portfolio is susceptible to changes in economic and market
conditions in the Company’s market areas. The Company generally requires
collateral on all real estate exposures and typically maintains loan-to-value
ratios of no greater than 80%.
Allowance
and Provision for Credit Losses.
The
allowance for credit losses reflects management's current estimate of the
amount
required to absorb losses on existing loans and commitments to extend
credit. Loans deemed uncollectible are charged against and reduce the
allowance. Periodically, a provision for credit losses is charged to current
expense. This provision acts to replenish the allowance for credit losses
and to
maintain the allowance at a level that management deems adequate. There is
no
precise method of predicting specific loan losses or amounts that ultimately
may
be charged off on segments of the loan portfolio. The determination that
a loan
may become uncollectible, in whole or in part, is a matter of judgment.
Similarly, the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses can be determined
only on a judgmental basis, after full review, including (a) consideration
of
economic conditions and the effect on particular industries and specific
borrowers; (b) a review of borrowers’ financial data, together with industry
data, the competitive situation, the borrowers’ management capabilities and
other factors; (c) a continuing evaluation of the loan portfolio, including
monitoring by lending officers and staff credit personnel of all loans which
are
identified as being of less than acceptable quality; (d) an in-depth appraisal,
on a monthly basis, of all loans judged to present a possibility of loss
(if, as
a result of such monthly appraisals, the loan is judged to be not fully
collectible, the carrying value of the loan is reduced to that portion
considered collectible); and (e) an evaluation of the underlying collateral
for
secured lending, including the use of independent appraisals of real estate
properties securing loans. A formal analysis of the adequacy of the allowance
is
conducted quarterly and is reviewed by the Board of Directors.
Periodic
provisions for loan losses are made to maintain the allowance for credit
losses
at an appropriate level. The provisions are based on an analysis of various
factors including historical loss experience by volumes and types of loans,
volumes and trends in delinquencies and non-accrual loans, trends in portfolio
volume, results of internal and independent external credit reviews, and
anticipated economic conditions.

The
allowance for credit losses was $5,007,000 at year-end 2007, compared with
$4,033,000 at year-end 2006, an increase of $974,000 or 24.2%. The increase
in
2007 was due to increased recoveries and provision expense of $482,000 during
2007. Total recoveries in 2007 include a $619,000 recovery on the $1,925,000
charge-off in 2006 that was attributable to one commercial borrower. The
Company
continued to record loss provisions in 2007 to compensate for both growth
in the
Company’s loan portfolio and weakening economic trends in our markets. The
increased level of allowance for credit losses in 2005 and 2006 was primarily
due to the growth of the loan portfolio.
Estimated
loss factors used in the allowance for credit loss analysis are established
based in part on historic charge-off data by loan category and economic
conditions. During the year ended December 31, 2007, the loss factors used
in
the allowance for credit losses were updated based on trends in historical
charge-offs, portfolio migration analysis, and other qualitative factors.
Management is committed to maintaining the allowance for credit losses at
a
level that is considered commensurate with estimated and known risks in the
portfolio. Although the adequacy of the allowance is reviewed quarterly,
management performs an ongoing assessment of the risks inherent in the
portfolio. As of December 31, 2007, management deems the allowance for credit
losses of $5,007,000 (1.14% of total loans outstanding and 143.92% of
non-performing loans) adequate to provide for probable losses based on an
evaluation of known and inherent risks in the loan portfolio at that date.
See “Risk Factors” under Item 1A above for a discussion of certain risks faced
by the Company that could affect the adequacy of the allowance.
29
The
Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) has issued SFAS No. 114, "Accounting
by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan" and SFAS No. 118, "Accounting by
Creditors for Impairment of a Loan—Income Recognition Disclosures, an amendment
to SFAS No. 114". The Company measures impaired loans based on the present
value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest
rate or, as a practical expedient, at the loan's observable market price
or the
fair market value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.
The Company excludes loans that are currently measured at fair value or at
the
lower of cost or fair value, and certain large groups of smaller balance
homogeneous loans that are collectively measured for impairment.

following table summarizes the Bank’s impaired loans at December
31:

No
valuation allowance for credit losses was considered necessary for the remaining
impaired loans. The balance of the allowance for credit losses in excess
of
these specific reserves is available to absorb losses from all
loans.
It
is the
Company's policy to charge-off any loan or portion of a loan that is deemed
uncollectible in the ordinary course of business. The entire allowance for
credit losses is available to absorb such charge-offs.
The
Company allocates its allowance for credit losses among major loan
categories primarily on the basis of historical data. Based on certain
characteristics of the portfolio and management’s analysis, losses can be
estimated for major loan categories.
The
following table presents the allocation of the allowance for credit losses
among
the major loan categories based primarily on their historical net charge-off
experience and other business considerations at December 31 in each of the
last
five years.

The
table
indicates an increase of $849,000 in the allowance related to real estate
loans
from December 31, 2006 to December 31, 2007. The primary reason for the
increases and changes in percentage allocations are due to changes in portfolio
mix and the growth trend in real estate and real estate construction loans.
The
Company had a specific reserve of $857,000 at December 31, 2005 relative
to one
borrower. This specific reserve was used to offset losses on that credit
in
2006. The overall net reduction in the allowance for credit losses attributable
to that borrower was $1,263,000 during 2006.
30
DEPOSITS
The
Company’s primary source of funds has historically been customer deposits. A
variety of deposit products are offered to attract customer deposits. These
products include non-interest bearing demand accounts, negotiable order of
withdrawal (NOW) accounts, savings accounts, and time deposits. Interest-bearing
accounts earn interest at rates established by management, based on competitive
market factors and the need to increase or decrease certain types of maturities
of deposits. The Company has succeeded in growing its deposit base over the
last
three years despite increasing competition for deposits in our markets. The
Company believes that it has benefited from its local identity and superior
customer service. Attracting deposits remains integral to the Company’s business
as it is the primary source of funds for loans and a major decline in deposits
or failure to attract deposits in the future could have an adverse effect
on
operations. The Company relies primarily on its branch staff and current
customer relationships to attract and retain deposits. The Company’s strategic
plan contemplates and focuses on continued growth in non-interest bearing
accounts which contribute to higher levels of non-interest income and net
interest margin. We expect significant competition for deposits of this nature
for the foreseeable future.
The
following table sets forth the average balances for each major category of
deposits and the weighted average interest rate paid for deposits for the
periods indicated.

Total
deposits slightly increased 0.1% to $467.3 million at December 31, 2007 compared
to $466.8 million at December 31, 2006, primarily in money market accounts
from
a business investment sweep product launched in 2007, which were partially
offset by decreases in non-interest bearing demand deposits. The ratio of
non-interest bearing deposits to total deposits was 18.6% and 19.6% at December
31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Total deposits increased 16.8% to $466.8
million at December 31, 2006 compared to $399.7 million at December 31, 2005
primarily as a result of growth in money market accounts and time certificates.
Management attributes the growth in 2006 to aggressive rate specials offered
to
attract new customers at three new locations in 2006 as well as a shift of
consumers towards higher rate products.
31
The
Company obtains deposits from the communities it serves. In addition,
management’s strategy for funding asset growth is to make use of brokered and
other wholesale deposits on an as-needed basis. Brokered deposits are generally
less desirable because of higher interest rates. Brokered deposits totaled
$5,000,000 and $8,000,000 at December 31, 2007 and 2006,
respectively.

COMMITMENTS
AND CONTINGENCIES AND OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
The
Bank
is party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal
course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial
instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit,
and involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the
amount
recognized on the consolidated balance sheets.
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 amount of those instruments.
The
Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional
obligations as they do for on-balance-sheet instruments. A summary of the
Bank’s
commitments at December 31 is as follows:

LIQUIDITY
AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Liquidity.
The
primary concern of depositors, creditors and regulators is the Company’s ability
to have sufficient funds readily available to repay liabilities as they mature.
In order to ensure adequate funds are available at all times, the Company
monitors and projects the amount of funds required on a daily basis. Through
the
Bank, the Company obtains funds from its customer base, which provides a
stable
source of “core” demand and consumer deposits.
Other
sources are available with borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of
Seattle
and correspondent banks. Liquidity requirements can also be met through
disposition of short-term assets. In management’s opinion, the Company maintains
an adequate level of liquid assets, consisting of cash and due from banks,
interest bearing deposits with banks, and federal funds sold to support the
daily cash flow requirements.
Management
expects to continue to rely on customer deposits as the primary source of
liquidity, but may also obtain liquidity from maturity of its investment
securities, sale of securities currently available for sale, loan sales,
loan
repayments, net income, and other borrowings. Although deposit balances have
shown historical growth, deposit habits of customers may be influenced by
changes in the financial services industry, interest rates available on other
investments, general economic conditions, consumer confidence, and competition.
Borrowings may be used on a short-term basis to compensate for reductions
in
deposits, but are generally not considered a long term solution to liquidity
issues. Therefore, reductions in deposits could adversely affect the Company’s
results of operations.
The
holding company specifically relies on dividends from the Bank, proceeds
from
the exercise of stock options, and proceeds from the issuance of trust preferred
securities for its funds, which are used for various corporate purposes.
On July
2, 2003, the Federal Reserve issued Supervisory Letter SR 03-13 clarifying
that
Bank Holding Companies should continue to report trust preferred securities
in
accordance with current Federal Reserve Bank instructions which allows trust
preferred securities to be counted in Tier 1 capital subject to certain
limitations. The Federal Reserve has indicated it will review the implications
of any accounting treatment changes and, if necessary or warranted, will
provide
appropriate guidance. For additional information regarding trust preferred
securities, this discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with
our
consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in
this
report including Footnote 8 - “Junior Subordinated Debentures”.
Capital.
The
Company endeavors to maintain equity capital at an adequate level to support
and
promote investor confidence. The Company conducts its business through the
Bank.
Thus, the Company needs to be able to provide capital and financing to the
Bank
should the need arise. The primary sources for obtaining capital are additional
stock sales and retained earnings. Total shareholders’ equity averaged
$52,634,000 in 2007, which includes $11,282,000 of goodwill associated with
the
BNW acquisition. Shareholders’ equity averaged $49,787,000 in 2006, compared to
$47,620,000 in 2005.
33
The
Company’s Board of Directors considers financial results, growth plans, and
anticipated capital needs in formulating its dividend policy. The payment
of
dividends is subject to adequate financial resources at the Bank, which depend
in part on operating results, and limitations imposed by law and governmental
regulations.
The
Federal Reserve has established guidelines that mandate risk-based capital
requirements for bank holding companies. Under the guidelines, one of four
risk
weights is applied to balance sheet assets, each with different capital
requirements based on the credit risk of the asset. The Company’s capital ratios
include the assets of the Bank on a consolidated basis in accordance with
the
requirements of the Federal Reserve. The Company’s capital ratios have exceeded
the minimum required to be classified “well capitalized” for each of the past
three year-end reporting dates.
The
following table sets forth the minimum required capital ratios and actual
ratios
for December 31, 2007 and 2006.

New
Accounting Pronouncements.
For a
discussion of new accounting pronouncements and their impact on the Company,
see
Note 1 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in
Item 8
of this Form 10-K.
CRITICAL
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The
Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The
financial information contained within these statements is, to a significant
extent, financial information that is based on approximate measures of the
financial effects of transactions and events that have already occurred.
Based
on its evaluation of accounting policies that involve the most complex and
subjective decisions and assessments, management has identified the following
as
its most critical accounting policies.
34
Allowance
for Credit Losses
The
Company’s allowance for credit loss methodology incorporates a variety of risk
considerations, both quantitative and qualitative, in establishing an allowance
for credit losses that management believes is appropriate at each reporting
date. Quantitative factors include the Company’s historical loss experience,
delinquency and charge-off trends, collateral values, changes in nonperforming
loans, and other factors. Quantitative factors also incorporate known
information about individual loans, including borrowers’ sensitivity to interest
rate movements. Qualitative factors include the general economic environment
in
the Company’s markets, including economic conditions and, in particular, the
state of certain industries. Size and complexity of individual credits in
relation to loan structure, existing loan policies and pace of portfolio
growth
are other qualitative factors that are considered in the methodology. As
the
Company adds new products and increases the complexity of its loan portfolio,
it
intends to enhance its methodology accordingly. A materially different amount
could be reported for the provision for credit losses in the statement of
operations to change the allowance for credit losses if management’s assessment
of the above factors were different. This discussion and analysis should
be read
in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements and the accompanying
notes presented elsewhere herein, as well as the portion of this Management’s
Discussion and Analysis section entitled “Allowance and Provision for Credit
Losses.” See
“Risk
Factors” above for a discussion of certain risks faced by the
Company.
Goodwill
Goodwill
is initially recorded when the purchase price paid for an acquisition exceeds
the estimated fair value of the net identified tangible and intangible assets
acquired. Goodwill is presumed to have an indefinite useful life and is tested,
at least annually, for impairment at the reporting unit level. The Company
performs an annual review each year, or more frequently if indicators of
potential impairment exist, to determine if the recorded goodwill is impaired.
The Company’s impairment review process compares the fair value of the Company
to its carrying value, including the goodwill related to the Company. If
the
fair value exceeds the carrying value, goodwill of the Company is not considered
impaired and no additional analysis is necessary. As of December 31, 2007,
there
have been no events or changes in circumstances that would indicate a potential
impairment.
ASSET
AND LIABILITY MANAGEMENT
The
largest component of the Company’s earnings is net interest income. Interest
income and interest expense are affected by general economic conditions,
competition in the market place, market interest rates and repricing and
maturity characteristics of the Company’s assets and liabilities. Exposure to
interest rate risk is primarily a function of differences between the maturity
and repricing schedules of assets (principally loans and investment securities)
and liabilities (principally deposits). Assets and liabilities are described
as
interest sensitivity for a given period of time when they mature or can reprice
within that period. The difference between the amount of interest sensitive
assets and interest sensitive liabilities is referred to as the interest
sensitivity “GAP” for any given period. The “GAP” may be either positive or
negative. If positive, more assets reprice than liabilities. If negative,
the
reverse is true.
Certain
shortcomings are inherent in the interest sensitivity “GAP” method of analysis.
Complexities such as prepayment risk and customer responses to interest rate
changes are not taken into account in the “GAP” analysis. Accordingly,
management also utilizes a net interest income simulation model to measure
interest rate sensitivity. Simulation modeling gives a broader view of net
interest income variability, by providing various rate shock exposure estimates.
Management regularly reviews the interest rate risk position and provides
measurement reports to the Board of Directors.
35
The
following table shows the dollar amount of interest sensitive assets and
interest sensitive liabilities at December 31, 2007 and differences between
them
for the maturity or repricing periods indicated.

Effects
of Changing Prices.
The
results of operations and financial condition presented in this report are
based
on historical cost information, and are unadjusted for the effects of inflation.
Since the assets and liabilities of financial institutions are primarily
monetary in nature, the performance of the Company is affected more by changes
in interest rates than by inflation. Interest rates generally increase as the
rate of inflation increases, but the magnitude of the change in rates may not
be
the same.
The
effects of inflation on financial institutions are normally not as significant
as its influence on businesses which have investments in plants and inventories.
During periods of high inflation there are normally corresponding increases
in
the money supply, and financial institutions will normally experience
above-average growth in assets, loans and deposits. Inflation does increase
the
price of goods and services, and therefore operating expenses increase during
inflationary periods.
ITEM
7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market
Risk
The
Company’s results of operations are largely dependent upon its ability to manage
interest rate risk. Management considers interest rate risk to be a significant
market risk that could have a material effect on the Company’s financial
condition and results of operations. The Company does not currently use
derivatives to manage market and interest rate risks. All of the Company’s
transactions are denominated in U.S. dollars. Approximately 75% of the Company’s
loans have interest rates that float with the Company’s reference rate. Fixed
rate loans generally are made with a term of five years or less.
In
the
Asset and Liability Management section of the Management’s Discussion and
Analysis in Item 7 is a table presenting estimated maturity or pricing
information indicating the Company’s exposure to interest rate changes. The
following table discloses the balances of financial instruments held by the
Company, including their fair value, as of December 31, 2007.
36
The
expected maturities are disclosed based on contractual schedules. Principal
repayments are not considered. The expected maturities for financial liabilities
with no stated maturity reflect estimated future roll-off rates. The roll-off
rates for non-interest bearing deposits, interest bearing demand deposits,
money
market accounts, and savings deposits are 15%, 25%, 25% and 20%, respectively.
The interest rates disclosed are based on rates in effect at December 31, 2007.
Fair values are estimated in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles as disclosed in the financial statements.

As
illustrated in the table above, our balance sheet is currently sensitive to
decreasing interest rates, meaning that more interest bearing assets mature
or
re-price than interest earning liabilities. Therefore, if our asset and
liability mix were to remain unchanged, and there was a decrease in market
rates
of interest, the Company would expect that its net income would be adversely
affected. In contrast, an increasing interest rate environment would positively
affect income. While the table presented above provides information about the
Company’s interest sensitivity, it does not predict the trends of future
earnings. For this reason, financial modeling is used to forecast earnings
under
varying interest rate projections. While this process assists in managing
interest rate risk, it does require significant assumptions for the projection
of loan prepayments, loan origination volumes and liability funding sources
that
may prove to be inaccurate.

Disclosure
Controls and Procedures. Our
management has evaluated, with the participation and under the supervision
of
our chief executive officer (CEO) and chief financial officer (CFO), the
effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules
13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered
by this report. Based on this evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that,
as of such date, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective
in ensuring that information relating to the Company, including its consolidated
subsidiaries, required to be disclosed in reports that it files under the
Exchange Act is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the
time
periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (2) accumulated and
communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate to
allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Management’s
Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. The
Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate
internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s internal control system
is designed to provide reasonable assurance to our management and the board
of
directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial
statements. Nonetheless, all internal control systems, no matter how well
designed, have inherent limitations. Because of these inherent limitations,
including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of
controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be
detected. Even systems determined to be effective as of a particular date can
provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement
preparation and presentation and may not eliminate the need for restatements.
The
Company’s management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal
control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007. In making this
assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control -
Integrated
Framework.
Based
on our assessment, we believe that, as of December 31, 2007, the Company’s
internal control over financial reporting is effective based on those criteria.

Report
of
Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To
the
Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Pacific
Financial Corporation
Aberdeen,
Washington
We
have
audited the internal control over financial reporting of Pacific Financial
Corporation and subsidiary (the "Company") as of December 31, 2007, based on
criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The
Company's management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control
over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal
control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s
Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is
to express an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting
based on our audit.
We
conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that
we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all
material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of
internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material
weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness
of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other
procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe
that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
A
company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by,
or
under the supervision of, the company's principal executive and principal
financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by
the
company's board of directors, management, and other personnel to provide
reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the
preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control
over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain
to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly
reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2)
provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to
permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are
being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors
of
the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely
detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's
assets that could have a material effect on the financial
statements.
Because
of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting,
including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of
controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented
or
detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the
effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods
are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of
changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or
procedures may deteriorate.
In
our
opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal
control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on the criteria
established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee
of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
We
have
also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated financial statements as of
and
for the year ended December 31, 2007 of the Company and our report dated March
14, 2008 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial
statements.

have materially affected, or are reasonable likely to materially affect, the

REPORT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To
the
Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Pacific
Financial Corporation
Aberdeen,
Washington
We
have
audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Pacific Financial
Corporation and subsidiary (the "Company") as of December 31, 2007 and 2006,
and
the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders' equity, and
cash
flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2007.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these 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 audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the
financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures
in
the 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, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of Pacific Financial Corporation and subsidiary
as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the results of their operations and
their
cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2007,
in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of
America.
We
have
also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States), the Company's internal control over financial
reporting as of December 31, 2007, based on the criteria established in
Internal
Control—Integrated Framework
issued

our
report dated March 14, 2008 expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company's

2007
Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements, Dollars in Thousands Except Per Share
Amounts
Note
1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles
of Consolidation
The
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Pacific Financial
Corporation (the Company), and its wholly owned subsidiary, The Bank of the
Pacific (the Bank), after elimination of intercompany transactions and balances.
The Company has two wholly owned subsidiaries, PFC Statutory Trust I and
II (the
Trusts), which do not meet the criteria for consolidation under Financial
Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 46 (revised), “Consolidation of
Variable Interest Entities,” and therefore, are not consolidated in the
Company’s financial statements.
Nature
of Operations
The
Company is a holding company which operates primarily through its subsidiary
bank. The Bank operates eighteen branches located in Grays Harbor, Pacific,
Skagit, Whatcom and Wahkiakum Counties in western Washington and one in Clatsop
County, Oregon. The Bank provides loan and deposit services to customers,
who
are predominately small- and middle-market businesses and middle-income
individuals in western Washington and Oregon.
On
June
23, 2006, the Bank completed a deposit transfer and assumption transaction
with
an Oregon-based bank for a $1,268 premium. In connection with completion
of the transaction, the Oregon Department of Consumer and Business Services
issued a Certificate of Authority to the Bank authorizing it to conduct a
banking business in the State of Oregon. The premium, and the resultant
right to conduct business in Oregon, has been recorded as an indefinite-lived
intangible asset.
Consolidated
Financial Statement Presentation
The
consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in
the
United States of America
and
practices within the banking industry. The preparation of consolidated financial
statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities, as of the date of the balance sheet, and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results
could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly
susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination
of the allowance for credit losses and the valuation of deferred tax
assets.
Securities
Available for Sale
Securities
available for sale consist of debt securities, marketable equity securities
and
mutual funds that the Company intends to hold for an indefinite period, but
not
necessarily to maturity. Such securities may be sold to implement the Company’s
asset/liability management strategies and in response to changes in interest
rates and similar factors. Securities available for sale are reported at
fair
value. Unrealized gains and losses, net of the related deferred tax effect,
are
reported as a net amount in a separate component of shareholders' equity
entitled “accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).” Realized gains and
losses on securities available for sale, determined using the specific
identification method, are included in earnings. Amortization of premiums
and
accretion of discounts are recognized in interest income over the period
to
maturity. For mortgage-backed securities, actual maturity may differ from
contractual maturity due to principal payments and amortization of premiums
and
accretion of discounts may vary due to prepayment speed
assumptions.

Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements, Dollars in Thousands Except Per Share
Amounts
Securities
Held to Maturity
Debt
securities for which the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold
to
maturity are reported at cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums and
accretion of discounts, which are recognized in interest income over the
period
to maturity.
Declines
in the fair value of individual securities held to maturity and available
for
sale below their cost that are other than temporary result in write-downs
of the
individual securities to their fair value. Such write-downs are included
in
earnings as realized losses. Management evaluates individual securities for
other than temporary impairment on a quarterly basis based on the securities’
current credit quality, interest rates, term to maturity and management’s intent
and ability to hold the securities until the net book value is
recovered.
Federal
Home Loan Bank Stock
The
Company, as a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) system, is required
to
maintain an investment in capital stock of the FHLB in an amount equal to
the
greater of 1% of its outstanding home loans or 5% of advances from the FHLB.
The
recorded amount of FHLB stock equals its fair value because the shares can
only
be redeemed by the FHLB at the $100 per share par value.
Loans
Held for Sale
Mortgage
loans originated for sale in the foreseeable future in the secondary market
are
carried at the lower of aggregate cost
or
estimated market value. Gains and losses on sales of loans are recognized
at
settlement date and are determined by the difference between the sales proceeds
and the carrying value of the loans. All sales are made without
recourse. Net
unrealized losses are recognized through a valuation allowance established
by
charges to income.

Loans
receivable that management has the intent and ability to hold for the
foreseeable future or until maturity or pay-off are reported at their
outstanding principal balances adjusted for any charge-offs, the allowance
for
credit losses, and any deferred fees or costs on originated loans, and
unamortized premiums or discounts on purchased loans. Loan fees and certain
direct loan origination costs are deferred, and the net fee or cost is
recognized as an adjustment of yield over the contractual life of the related
loans using the effective interest method.
Interest
income on loans is accrued over the term of the loans based upon the principal
outstanding. The accrual of interest on loans is discontinued when, in
management’s opinion, the borrower may be unable to meet payments as they come
due. When interest accrual is discontinued, all unpaid accrued interest is
reversed against interest income. Interest income is subsequently recognized
only to the extent that cash payments are received until, in management’s
judgment, the borrower has the ability to make contractual interest and
principal payments, in which case the loan is returned to accrual status.
Allowance
for Credit Losses
The
allowance for credit losses is established as losses are estimated to have
occurred through a provision for credit losses charged to earnings. Losses
are
charged against the allowance when management believes the collectibility
of a
loan balance is unlikely. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to
the
allowance.
The
allowance for credit losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management
and is
based upon management’s periodic review of the collectability of the loans in
light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio,
adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated
value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions. The
evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires estimates that are
susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.
The
Company’s methodology for assessing the appropriateness of the allowance
consists of several key elements, which include the formula allowance and
impaired allowances. The formula portion of the general credit loss allowance
is
established by applying a loss percentage factor to the different loan types
based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors.

Amounts
A
loan is
considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is
probable the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of
principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the
loan
agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include
payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled
principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant
payment delays and payment shortfalls are generally not classified as impaired.
Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls
on a case-by-case basis, taking into considerations all of the circumstances
surrounding the loan and the borrowers, including the length of the delay,
the
reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of
the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment
is
measured on a loan by loan basis for commercial, construction and real estate
loans by either the present value of the expected future cashflows discounted
at
the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price, or the
fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. Large groups
of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for
impairment.
Premises
and Equipment
Premises
and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation, which is
computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the
assets. Asset lives range from 3 to 39 years. Leasehold improvements are
amortized over the terms of the respective leases or the estimated useful
lives
of the improvements, whichever is less. Gains or losses on dispositions are
reflected in earnings.
Foreclosed
Real Estate
Real
estate properties acquired through, or in lieu of, foreclosure are to be
sold
and are initially recorded at the lower of cost or fair value of the properties
less estimated costs of disposal. Any write-down to fair value at the time
of
transfer to other real estate owned is charged to the allowance for credit
losses. Properties are evaluated regularly to ensure that the recorded amounts
are supported by their current fair values, and that valuation allowances
to
reduce the carrying amounts to fair value less estimated costs to dispose
are
recorded as necessary. Any subsequent reductions in carrying values, and
revenue
and expense from the operations of properties, are charged to
operations.
Goodwill
and other intangible assets
At
December 31, 2007, the Company had $13,010 in goodwill and other intangible
assets. Goodwill and other intangibles with indefinite lives are tested,
at
least annually on June 30, or more frequently if indicators of potential
impairment exist, for impairment. As of December 31, 2007, there have been
no
events or changes in circumstances that would indicate a potential impairment.
Core deposit intangibles are amortized to non-interest expense using a straight
line method over seven years. Net unamortized core deposit intangible totaled
$461 at December
31, 2007. Amortization expense related to core deposit intangible totaled
$142
during each of the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006, and 2005. Amortization
expense for the core deposit intangible is estimated to be $142 for each
of the
next three years.

Impairment
of long-lived assets
Management
periodically reviews the carrying value of its long-lived assets to determine
if
an impairment has occurred or whether changes in circumstances have occurred
that would require a revision to the remaining useful life, of which there
have
been none. In making such determination, management evaluates the performance,
on an undiscounted basis, of the underlying operations or assets which give
rise
to such amount.
Transfers
of Financial Assets
Transfers
of financial assets are accounted for as sales when control over the assets
has
been surrendered. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered
when (1) the assets have been isolated from the Bank, (2) the transferee
obtains
the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of
that
right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets, and (3) the Bank does
not
maintain effective control over the transferred assets through either an
agreement to repurchase them before their maturity, or the ability to cause
the
buyer to return specific assets.
Income
Taxes
Deferred
tax assets and liabilities result from differences between the financial
statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities, and
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. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when
management determines that it is more likely than not that some portion or
all
of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. As changes in tax laws or
rates
are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the
provision for income taxes.
The
Company files a consolidated federal income tax return. The Bank provides
for
income taxes separately and remits to the Company amounts currently due in
accordance with a Tax Allocation Agreement between the Company and the
Bank.
Stock-Based
Compensation
Prior
to
January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for stock option plans under recognition
and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Bulletin (APB) Opinion
No.
25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations.
No
stock-based employee compensation cost was reflected in net income for previous
awards, as all options granted under the plans had an exercise price equal
to
the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of
grant.
Effective
January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) No. 123R, Share Based Payment, which requires measurement of compensation
cost for all stock based awards based on the grant date fair value and
recognition of compensation cost over the service period of stock based awards.
The Company has adopted SFAS No. 123R using the modified prospective method,
which provides for no restatement of prior periods and no cumulative adjustment
to equity awards. It also provides for expense recognition for both new and
existing unvested stock-based awards.

Cash
Equivalents and Cash Flows
The
Company considers all amounts included in the balance sheet caption “Cash and
due from banks” to be cash equivalents. Cash flows from loans, interest bearing
deposits in banks, federal funds sold, short-term borrowings, secured borrowings
and deposits are reported net.
The
Company maintains balances in depository institution accounts which, at times,
may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any
losses
in such accounts.
Earnings
Per Share
Basic
earnings per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income
by
the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings
per
share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if common shares were
issued pursuant to the exercise of options under the Company’s stock option
plans. Stock options excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per
share
because they are antidilutive, were 213,700, 252,550 and 272,600 in 2007,
2006
and 2005, respectively.
Comprehensive
Income
Accounting
principles generally require that recognized revenue, expenses, gains and
losses
be included in net income. Certain changes in assets and liabilities, such
as
prior service costs and amortization of prior service costs related to defined
benefit plans and unrealized gains and losses on securities available for
sale,
are reported as a separate component of the equity section of the consolidated
balance sheets, such items, along with net income, are components of
comprehensive income. Gains and losses on securities available for sale are
reclassified to net income as the gains or losses are realized upon sale
of the
securities. Other-than-temporary impairment charges are reclassified to net
income at the time of the charge.
Business

Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
In
July
2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB
Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes -
an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109.” FIN 48 prescribes a comprehensive
model for how a company should recognize, measure, present and disclose in
its
financial statements uncertain tax positions that it has taken or expects
to
take on a tax return. FIN 48 was effective as of the beginning of the Company’s
2007 fiscal year. The cumulative effect, if any, of applying FIN 48 is to
be
reported as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in
the
year of adoption. The Company adopted FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. As of January
1, 2007 and December 31, 2007, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits.
The
Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties on unrecognized tax
benefits in “Provision for income taxes” in the consolidated statements of
income. There were no amounts related to interest and penalties recognized
for
the year ended December 31, 2007. The tax years that remain subject to
examination by federal and state taxing authorities are the years ended December
31, 2006, 2005 and 2004.
In
September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” which
establishes a framework for reporting fair value and expands disclosures
about
fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 becomes effective for the Company on
January 1, 2008. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard
on its consolidated financial statements.
In
September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined
Benefit Pension and Other Post-retirement Plans,” an amendment of FASB
Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R). SFAS No. 158 requires recognition
of the
funded status of the Company’s defined benefit and post retirement plans as an
asset or liability in the consolidated financial statements for fiscal years
ending after December 15, 2006. SFAS No. 158 also requires that assets and
obligations that determine funded status be measured as of the end of the
fiscal
year. The requirement to use the fiscal year-end date as the measurement
date is
effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. The Company is
currently assessing the measurement date requirement of SFAS No. 158 and
its
impact, if any, on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In
February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities,” which is effective for fiscal years
beginning after November 15, 2007. SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose
to
measure financial assets and liabilities at fair value. The election to measure
a financial asset or liability at fair value can be made on an
instrument-by-instrument basis and is irrevocable. The difference in carrying
value and fair value at election is recorded as a transition adjustment to
opening retained earnings. Subsequent changes in fair value are recognized
in
earnings. The Company did not early adopt SFAS No. 159, and is currently
assessing the impact the adoption of this standard will have on its consolidated
financial statements.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations”. SFAS
No. 141(R) requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to recognize
the full fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the
transaction (whether a full or partial acquisition); establishes the acquisition
date fair value as the measurement objective for all assets acquired and
liabilities assumed; requires expensing most transaction and restructuring
costs; and requires the acquirer to disclose to investors and other users
all of
the information needed to evaluate and understand the nature and financial
effect of the business combination. SFAS No. 141(R) applies prospectively
to
business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after January
1,
2009.

Federal
Reserve Board regulations require that the Bank maintain certain minimum

Company. The Company has evaluated the securities shown above and anticipates
full recovery of amortized cost with respect to these securities at maturity
or
sooner in the event of a more favorable market interest rate environment.
Additionally, the contractual cash flows of mortgage-backed securities are
guaranteed by an agency of the U.S. Government. The Company did not engage
in
originating subprime mortgage loans and it does not believe that it has exposure
to subprime mortgage loans or subprime mortgage backed securities. Additionally,

Gross
gains realized on sales of securities were $0, $0 and $65 and gross losses
realized were $20, $0 and $63 in 2007, 2006, and 2005 respectively. In 2007,

for
sale as a result of significant deterioration in the credit quality of the
bond
issuer. The bonds were subsequently sold and the Bank realized a loss on
sale of
$20.
Securities
carried at approximately $17,708 at December 31, 2007 and $15,830 at December

8 - Junior Subordinated Debentures
At
December 31, 2007, two wholly-owned subsidiary grantor trusts established
by the
Company had outstanding $13,000 of pooled Trust Preferred Securities (“trust
preferred securities”). Trust preferred securities accrue and pay distributions
periodically at specified annual rates as provided in the indentures. The
trusts
used the net proceeds from the offering to purchase a like amount of Junior
Subordinated Debentures (the “Debentures”) of the Company. The Debentures are
the sole assets of the trusts. The Company’s obligations under the Debentures
and the related documents, taken together, constitute a full and unconditional
guarantee by the Company of the obligations of the trusts. The trust preferred
securities are mandatory redeemable upon the maturity of the Debentures,
or upon
earlier redemption as provided in the indentures. The Company has the right
to
redeem the Debentures in whole or in part on or after specified dates, at
a
redemption price specified in the indentures plus any accrued but unpaid
interest to the redemption date.

following table is a summary of the trust preferred securities and debentures

The
total
amount of trust preferred securities outstanding at both December 31, 2007
and
2006, was $13,000. The interest rate on the trust preferred securities issued
in
June 2006 resets quarterly and is tied to the London Interbank Offered Rate
(“LIBOR”). The Company has the right to redeem the debentures issued in the
December 2005 offering in March 2011, and the June 2006 offering in July
2011.
The
Debentures issued by the Company to the grantor trusts totaling $13,000 are
reflected in the consolidated balance sheet in the liabilities section under
the
caption “junior subordinated debentures.” The Company records interest expense
on the corresponding junior subordinated debentures in the consolidated
statements of income. The Company recorded $403 in the consolidated balance
sheet at December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, for the common capital
securities issued by the issuer trusts.

10 - Employee Benefits
Incentive
Compensation Plan
The
Bank
has a plan that provides incentive compensation to key employees if the Bank
meets certain performance criteria established by the Board of Directors.
The
cost of this plan was $943, $1,016, and $1,023 in 2007, 2006 and 2005,
respectively.
401(k)
Plans
The
Bank
has established a 401(k) profit sharing plan for those employees who meet
the
eligibility requirements set forth in the plan. Eligible employees may
contribute up to 15% of their compensation. Matching contributions by the
Bank
are at the discretion of the Board of Directors. Contributions totaled $398,
$334 and $290 for 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
Director
and Employee Deferred Compensation Plans
The
Company has director and employee deferred compensation plans. Under the
terms
of the plans, a director or employee may participate upon approval by the
Board.
The participant may then elect to defer a portion of his or her earnings
(directors’ fees or salary) as designated at the beginning of each plan year.
Payments begin upon retirement, termination, death or permanent disability,
sale
of the Company, the ten-year anniversary of the participant’s participation
date, or at the discretion of the Company. There are currently two participants
in the plans. Total deferrals plus earnings were $145, $149 and $134 at December
31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. There is no ongoing expense to the
Company for this plan.
The
directors of a bank acquired by the Company in 1999 adopted two deferred
compensation plans for directors - one plan providing retirement income benefits
for all directors and the other, a deferred compensation plan, covering only
those directors who have chosen to participate in the plan. At the time of
adopting these plans, the Bank purchased life insurance policies on directors
participating in both plans which may be used to fund payments to them under
these plans. Cash surrender values on these policies were $3,232 and $3,124
at
December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. In 2007, 2006 and 2005, the net
benefit recorded from these plans, including the cost of the related life
insurance, was $371, $306 and $334, respectively. Both of these plans were
fully
funded and frozen as of September 30, 2001. Plan participants were given
the
option to either remain in the plan until reaching the age of 70 or to receive
a
lump-sum distribution. Participants electing to remain in the plan
will
receive annual payments over a ten-year period upon reaching 70 years of
age.
The liability associated with these plans totaled $326 and $339 at December
31,
2007 and 2006, respectively.

Non-Qualified
Deferred Compensation Plan
The
Company has a non-qualified deferred compensation plan to cover selected
employees. Its annual contributions to the plan totaled $0, $5 and $5 in
2007,
2006 and 2005, respectively. Covered employees may also contribute to the
plan.
The liability associated with this plan totaled $0 and $6 at December 31,
2007
and 2006.
Supplemental
Executive Retirement Plan
Effective
January 1, 2007, the Company adopted a non-qualifed Supplemental Executive
Retirement Plan (SERP) that provides retirement benefits to its executive
officers. The SERP is unsecured and unfunded and there are no plan assets.
The
post-retirement benefit provided by the SERP is designed to supplement a
participating officer’s retirement benefits from social security, in order to
provide the officer with a certain percentage of final average income at
retirement age. The benefit is generally based on average earnings, years
of
service and age at retirement. At the inception of the SERP, the Company
recorded a prior service cost to accumulated other comprehensive income of
$634.

11 - Dividend Reinvestment Plan
In
November 2005, the Company instituted a dividend reinvestment plan which
allows
for all or part of cash dividends to be reinvested in shares of Company common
stock based upon shareholder election. Under the plan, 1,000,000 shares are
authorized for dividend reinvestment, of which 39,938 shares have been issued
through December 31, 2007.
Note
12 - Commitments and Contingencies
The
Bank
is party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal
course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial
instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit,
and involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the
amount
recognized on the consolidated balance sheets.
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 amount of those instruments.
The
Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional
obligations as they do for on-balance-sheet instruments. A summary of the
Bank’s
commitments at December 31 is as follows:
2007

|

|||||
Commitments

|

|
$
|
100,792
|
|||
Standby
letters of credit
|
3,489
|
2,650
|
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. Since many of the
commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total
commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.
The
Bank’s experience has been that approximately 67% of loan commitments are drawn
upon by customers. The Bank evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a
case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary
by
the Bank upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of
the party.

Note
12 - Commitments and Contingencies (concluded)
Collateral
held varies, but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property and
equipment, residential real estate, and income-producing commercial
properties.
Standby
letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee
the performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily
issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements. The credit risk
involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved
in extending loan facilities to customers. Collateral held varies as specified
above and is required in instances where the Bank deems necessary.
Certain
executive officers have entered into employment contracts with the Bank which
provide for contingent payments subject to future events.
The
Bank
has agreements with commercial banks for lines of credit totaling $41,000,
of
which $3,125 was used at December 31, 2007. In addition, the Bank has a credit
line with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Seattle totaling 20% of assets, $19,500
of which was used at December 31, 2007. These borrowings are collateralized
under blanket pledge and custody agreements.
Because
of the nature of its activities, the Company is subject to various pending
and
threatened legal actions which arise in the ordinary course of business.
In the
opinion of management, liabilities arising from these claims, if any, will
not
have a material effect on the financial condition, results of operations
or cash
flows of the Company.
Note
13 - Significant Concentrations of Credit Risk
Most
of
the Bank’s business activity is with customers and governmental entities located
in the state of Washington, including investments in state and municipal
securities. Loans are generally limited by state banking regulations to 20%
of
the Bank’s shareholder’s equity, excluding accumulated other comprehensive
income (loss). Standby letters of credit were granted primarily to commercial
borrowers. The Bank, as a matter of practice, generally does not extend credit
to any single borrower or group of borrowers in excess of $7,500.
Note
14 - Stock Options
The
Company’s three stock incentive plans, adopted in 1995, 1997 and 2000, provide
for granting incentive stock options, as defined under current tax laws,
to key
personnel. The plan adopted in 2000 also provides for non-qualified stock
options and other types of stock based awards. Under the first plan, options
are
exercisable 90 days from the date of grant. These options terminate if not
exercised within ten years from the date of grant. If after six years from
the
date of grant fewer than 20% of the options have been exercised, they will
expire at a rate of 20% annually. Under the second plan, the options become
exercisable one year from the date of grant, at a rate of 10% annually. Options
terminate if not exercised when they become available. No additional grants
will
be made under these two plans. The 2000 plan authorizes the issuance of up
to a
total of 1,000,000 shares (279,250 shares are available for grant at December
31, 2007). Under the 2000 plan, options either become exercisable ratably
over
five years or vest fully five years from the date of grant. Under the 2000
plan,
the Company may grant up to 150,000 options for its common stock to a single
individual in a calendar year.
The
Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the fair
value
of stock-based awards based on assumptions noted in the following table.
Expected volatility is based on historical volatility of the Company’s common
shares. The expected term of stock options granted is based on the simplified
method, which
is
the simple average between contractual term and vesting period. The risk-free
rate is based on the expected term of stock options and the applicable U.S.
Treasury yield in effect at the time of grant.

The
aggregate intrinsic value of all options outstanding at December 31, 2007
and
2006 was $188 and $2,275, respectively. The aggregate intrinsic value of
all
options that were exercisable at December 31, 2007 and 2006 was $0 and $1,878,
respectively. The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised was $282
and
$314, respectively for the 2007 and 2006. Cash received from the exercise
of
stock options during 2007 totaled $861. Stock based compensation recognized
in
2007 and 2006 was $97 ($64 net of tax and $36 ($24 net of tax), respectively.
Future compensation expense for unvested awards outstanding as of December
31,
2007 is estimated to be $181 recognized over a weighted average period of
1.9
years.
In
July
2005, the Board of Directors approved the acceleration of vesting of 257,600
out
of the money options previously awarded under the 2000 Stock Option Plan.
As a
result, the accelerated stock options became exercisable
immediately.
Note
15 - Regulatory Matters
The
Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements
administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital
requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional
discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct
material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Under
capital adequacy guidelines on the regulatory framework for prompt corrective
action, the Bank must meet specific capital adequacy guidelines that involve
quantitative measures of the Bank’s assets, liabilities and certain
off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices.
The
Bank’s capital classification is also subject to qualitative judgments by the
regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.
Quantitative
measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the
Company and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in
the
table below) of Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to total average
assets (as defined), and minimum ratios of Tier 1 and total capital (as defined)
to risk-weighted assets (as defined).

Note
15 - Regulatory Matters (concluded)
As
of
December 31, 2007, the most recent notification from the Bank’s regulator
categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for
prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, the Bank
must
maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, and Tier 1 leverage
ratios
as set forth in the table. There are no conditions or events since that
notification that management believes have changed the institution’s
category.
The
Company and the Bank’s actual capital amounts and ratios are also presented in
the table. Management believes, as of December 31, 2007, the Company and
the
Bank meet all capital requirements to which they are subject.

17 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments (continued)
The
Bank
assumes interest rate risk (the risk that general interest rate levels will
change) as a result of its normal operations. As a result, the fair values
of
the Bank’s financial instruments will change when interest rate levels change
and that change may either be favorable or unfavorable to the Bank. Management
attempts to match maturities of assets and liabilities to the extent believed
appropriate to maintain interest rate risk at acceptable levels. However,
borrowers with fixed rate obligations are less likely to prepay in a rising
rate
environment and more likely to prepay in a falling rate environment. Conversely,
depositors who are receiving fixed rates are more likely to withdraw funds
before maturity in a rising rate environment and less likely to do so in
a
falling rate environment. Management monitors rates and maturities of assets
and
liabilities, and attempts to minimize interest rate risk by adjusting terms
of
new loans and deposits and by investing in securities with terms that mitigate
the Bank’s overall interest rate risk.

Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements, Dollars in Thousands Except Per Share
Amounts
The
following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating
the
fair values of financial instruments disclosed in these consolidated financial
statements:
Cash,
Interest Bearing Deposits at Other Financial Institutions, and Federal Funds
Sold
The
carrying amounts of cash, interest bearing deposits at other financial
institutions, and federal funds sold approximate their fair value.
Securities
Available for Sale and Held to Maturity
Fair
values for securities are based on quoted market prices.
Federal
Home Loan Bank Stock
The
carrying value of Federal Home Loan Bank stock approximates its fair
value.
Investment
in PFC Statutory Trust I and II
The
carrying value of the Investment in PFC Statutory Trust I and II approximates
their fair value and is recorded in other assets.
Loans
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 analysis, using interest
rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of
similar credit quality. Fair values of loans held for sale are based on their
estimated market prices. Fair values
for
impaired loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis or underlying
collateral values, where applicable.
Deposit
Liabilities
The
fair
value of deposits with no stated maturity date is included at the amount
payable
on demand. Fair values for fixed rate certificates of deposit are estimated
using a discounted cash flow calculation based on interest rates currently
offered on similar certificates.
Secured
borrowings
For
variable rate secured borrowings that reprice frequently and have no significant
change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values.
Note
17 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments (concluded)
Short-Term
Borrowings
The
fair
values of the Company’s short-term borrowings are estimated using discounted
cash flow analysis based on the Company’s incremental borrowing rates for
similar types of borrowing arrangements.

Amounts
Long-Term
Borrowings and Junior Subordinated Debentures
The
fair
values of the Company’s long-term borrowings and junior subordinated debentures
are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis based on the Company’s
incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing
arrangements.
Accrued
Interest Receivable and Payable
The
carrying amounts of accrued interest receivable and payable approximate their
fair values.
Off-Balance-Sheet
Instruments
The
fair
value of commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit was
estimated using the rates currently charged to enter into similar agreements,
taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the present
creditworthiness of the customers. Since the majority of the Company’s
off-balance-sheet instruments consist of non-fee producing, variable-rate
commitments, the Company has determined they do not have a material fair
value.
