PACIFIC
FINANCIAL CORPORATION
Notes
to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
(Dollars
in thousands, except per share amounts)
Note
1 – Basis of Presentation
The
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared by Pacific Financial Corporation ("Pacific" or the "Company") in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of
America for interim financial information and with instructions to
Form 10-Q. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all of
the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements.
In
the opinion of management, adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals)
considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating
results for the three months ended March 31, 2008, are not necessarily
indicative of the results anticipated for the year ending December 31,
2008. Certain information and footnote disclosures included in the Company's
consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2007,
have been condensed or omitted from this report. Accordingly, these statements
should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto
included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2007.
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date
of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

March 31, 2008 and 2007, there were 354,400 and 75,100 shares, respectively,
subject to outstanding options to acquire common stock with exercise prices
in
excess of the current market value. These shares are not included in the table
above, as exercise of these options would not be dilutive to
shareholders.

For
all
the above investment securities, the unrealized losses are generally due to
changes in interest rates and, as such, are considered to be temporary by
management. The Company has the ability and intent to hold securities with
a
stated maturity until the value recovers. Based on management’s evaluation and
intent, none of the unrealized losses are considered other-than-temporary.
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, to determine whether a security is
other-than-temporarily impaired, the Company considers the duration and amount
of each unrealized loss, the financial condition of the issuer, and the
prospects for a change in market or net asset value within a reasonable period
of time. We also consider that the contractual cash flows of certain mortgage
backed securities are guaranteed by an agency of the United States Government.
The Company did not make a practice of originating subprime mortgage loans
and
it does not believe that it has exposure to subprime mortgage loans or subprime
mortgage backed securities through its ownership of investment securities.
Additionally, the Company does not have any investment in or exposure to
collateralized debt obligations or structured investment
vehicles.

In
2007,
the Bank transferred $825 in municipal bonds from held-to-maturity to
available-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 the sale of $20.

5 – Stock Based Compensation
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 accounts. It also provides for expense
recognition for both new and existing unvested stock-based awards. Stock-based
compensation expense during the three months ended March 30, 2008 and 2007
was
$22 and $30 ($15 and $20 net of tax), respectively. Future compensation expense
for unvested awards outstanding as of March 31, 2008 is estimated to be $160
recognized over a weighted average period of 1.9 years. Cash received from
the
exercise of stock options during the three months ended March 31, 2008 and
2007
totaled $0 and $323, respectively.
The
fair
value of stock options granted is determined using the Black-Scholes option
pricing model based on the following assumptions. Expected volatility is based
on historical volatility of the Company’s common stock. 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. There were no options granted during the three
months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007.

Note
6 – Commitments and Contingencies
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 results of operations or financial position of
the
Company.
Note
7 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In
September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“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 became effective for the Company on
January 1, 2008, as required for financial assets and financial liabilities.
In
February 2008, FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) FAS 157-2, Effective
Date of FASB Statement No. 157,
which
delayed the effective date of SFAS No. 157 to fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2008 for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities that
are
recognized or disclosed at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. The adoption
of
SFAS 157 for financial assets and liabilities did not have a material impact
on
the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company is currently
evaluating the effect of FSP FAS 157-2 and its impact, if any, on its
consolidated financial statements.
In
February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The
Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial
Liabilities.
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 between carrying value and fair value at the election date is
recorded as a transition adjustment to opening retained earnings. Subsequent
changes in fair value are recognized in earnings. The Company adopted SFAS
No.
159 effective January 1, 2008. The Company did not elect to adopt the fair
value
option for any financial assets or liabilities on January 1, 2008 or during
the
quarter. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the
Company’s 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 more 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.
In
March
2008, FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures
about Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities – an amendment of FASB Statement No.
133
(“SFAS
No. 161). SFAS No. 161 requires enhanced disclosures to provide a better
understanding of how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, how
derivative instruments and related hedge items are accounted for, and their
effect on an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows.
SFAS No. 161 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008.
The Company does not expect SFAS 161 to have a material effect on the Company’s
consolidated financial statements.

8 – Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan
The
Company has an unqualified 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 following table sets forth the

9 – Fair Value Measurements
Effective
January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS 157, which established a hierarchy
for
measuring fair value that is intended to maximize the use of observable inputs
and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. This hierarchy uses three levels
of
inputs to measure the fair value of assets and liabilities as
follows:
Level
1 – Valuations based on quoted prices in active exchange
markets for identical assets or liabilities; also includes certain U.S. Treasury
securities, U.S. Government and agency securities, and corporate debt securities
actively traded in over-the-counter markets.
Level
2 – Valuations of assets and liabilities traded in less
active dealer or broker markets. Valuations include quoted prices for similar
assets and liabilities traded in the same market; quoted prices for identical
or
similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model
–derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose
significant value drivers are observable. Valuations may be obtained from,
or
corroborated by, third-party pricing services. This category generally includes
certain U.S. Government and agency securities, corporate debt securities, and
residential mortgage loans held for sale.
Level
3 – Valuation based on unobservable inputs supported by
little or no market activity for financial instruments whose value is determined
using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, yield curves and
similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair
value requires significant management judgment or estimation. Level 3 valuations
incorporate certain assumptions and projections in determining the fair value
assigned to such assets or liabilities, but in all cases are corroborated by
external data, which may include third-party pricing services.
The
following table presents the balances of assets and liabilities measured at
fair
value on a recurring basis:

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 described
in
our 2007 10-K, as well as risks relating to, among other things, 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
key employees, and maintain our interest margins and fee income;
2. changes
in the interest rate environment that may reduce margins or decrease the value
of our securities;
3. our
growth strategy which may not be successful if we fail to accurately assess
market opportunities, anticipated capital requirements, or the quality of
assets, or if we fail to adequately control expenses;
4. general
economic or business conditions, either nationally or in the regions in which
we
do business, that may result in, among other things, a deterioration in credit
quality, increased loan losses, a reduced demand for credit, or decreases in
the
value of real estate that is the collateral for many of our loans; and
5. a
lack of
liquidity in the market for our common stock 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 the forward-looking statements in this report 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

Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, The Bank of the Pacific (the “Bank”), is a
state chartered bank, also located in Washington. The Company also has two
wholly-owned subsidiary trusts known as PFC Statutory Trust I and II (the
“Trusts”) that were formed December 2005 and May 2006, respectively, in
connection with the issuance of pooled trust preferred securities. The Company
was incorporated in the state of Washington on February 12, 1997, pursuant
to a
holding company reorganization of the Bank.

branches located in communities in Grays Harbor, Pacific, Whatcom, Skagit and
Wahkiakum counties in the state of Washington and one in Clatsop County, Oregon.
The Bank is in process of relocating its Ferndale, Washington branch which
is
expected to be completed in June 2008. In addition, the Bank has entered into
a
construction contract for a new branch in Warrenton, Oregon which is expected
to
open in 2009.
The
Bank
provides loan and deposit services to customers who are predominantly small
and
middle-market businesses and middle-income individuals.
Critical
Accounting Policies
Critical
accounting policies are discussed in the 2007 10-K under the heading
“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operation – Critical Accounting Policies.” There have not
been any material changes in our critical accounting policies and estimates
relating to our allowance for credit losses as compared to that contained in
the
2007 10-K.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
Please
see Note 7 of the Company's Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
above for a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements and the likely effect
on the Company.
Results
of Operations
Net
income.
For the
three months ended March 31, 2008, Pacific's net income was $1,048,000 compared
to $1,534,000 for the same period in 2007. The decrease in net income for the
three month period is due primarily to a decline in net interest income. Return
on average equity for the quarters ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, was 8.1%
and
12.3%, respectively. Earnings
are below expectations largely as a result of the continued net interest margin
compression which was further exacerbated by the Federal Reserve’s unprecedented
200 basis point drop in interest rates during the first quarter of 2008.
Management is focused on restoring our profitability to a level consistent
with
our expectations of a high performance bank. Meanwhile, we continue to maintain
a stable core deposit base while building upon a quality loan portfolio in
all
of our service areas.
Net
interest income.
The
Federal Reserve Board heavily influences market interest rates, including
deposit and loan rates offered by many financial institutions. As a bank holding
company, we derive the greatest portion of our income from net interest income.
During 2007, short-term rates were unchanged for the first eight months of
the
year. However, beginning in September 2007, the Federal Open Market Committee
(FOMC) began lowering short-term rates, and in the fourth quarter of 2007,
the
treasury yield curve regained a normal slope from a flat shape. In the first
quarter of 2008, short-term rates were lowered significantly, and the yield
curve continued to steepen. Overall, short-term rates were decreased 300 basis
points between September 2007 and March 2008. The Company has been able to
lower
its cost of funds, but not to the degree that the shifting yield curve would
indicate due to intense competition for deposits. As a result, the Company
continues to experience net interest margin compression. Future decreases in
market rates by the FOMC, including the 25 basis point decrease on April 30,
2008, could place even greater downward pressure on loan yields and net interest
margin.
14
Net
interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2008 decreased $560,000, or
9.33%, compared to the same period in 2007. See the table below and the
accompanying discussion for further information on interest income and expense.
The net interest margin (net interest income divided by average earning assets)
decreased to 4.29% for the three months ended March 31, 2008 from 4.81% for
the
same period last year. The decline in net interest margin is due primarily
to a
decrease in the average yield earned on loans from 8.30% for the three months
ended March 31, 2007 to 7.36% for the current three month period. This was
partially offset by a decrease in the Company’s average cost of funds to 3.30%
at March 31, 2008 from 3.74% one year ago.
The
following table sets forth information with regard to average balances of
interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities and the resultant
yields or cost, net interest income, and the net interest margin on a tax
equivalent basis. Loans held for sale and non-accrual loans are included in
total loans.

Interest income on loans includes loan fees of $281 and $445 in 2008 and 2007,
respectively.
15
Interest
and dividend income for the three months ended March 31, 2008 decreased
$874,000, or 8.91%, compared to the same period in 2007. Of the total loan
portfolio, approximately $343 million, or 74.3%, is variable and subject to
changes in interest rates. The decrease in interest income is a direct result
of
the 200 basis point decrease by the FOMC during the first quarter of 2008,
which
caused an immediate reduction in $210 million of the variable rate loan
portfolio. Loans averaged $456.2 million with an average yield of 7.36% for
the
three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to average loans of $448.8 million
with an average yield of 8.30% for the same period in 2007.
Interest
expense for the three months ended March 31, 2008 decreased $314,000, or 8.25%,
compared to the same period in 2007. The decrease is primarily attributable
to
rate decreases on interest-bearing deposits and the downward repricing of the
variable portion of junior subordinated debentures. Average interest-bearing
deposit balances for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 were $379.9
million and $366.1 million, respectively, with an average cost of 3.15% and
3.58%, respectively.
Average
secured borrowings for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 were
$1,411,000 and $1,814,000, respectively. The secured borrowings represent
borrowings collateralized by participation interests in loans originated by
the
Company. Average long and short term borrowings for the three months ended
March
31, 2008 were $28,780,000 with an average cost of 3.74% compared to $26,060,000
with an average cost of 4.13% for the same period in 2007.
Provision
and allowance for credit losses.
The
allowance for credit losses reflects management's current estimate of the amount
required to absorb probable losses on loans based on factors present as of
the
end of the period. 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 in order to maintain the allowance at a level that management deems
adequate.
Periodic
provisions for credit 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 based on 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. For additional information, please see
the
discussion under the heading "Critical Accounting Policy" in Item 7 of our
2007 10-K.
During
the three months ended March 31, 2008, provision for credit losses totaled
$126,000, compared to $257,000 for the same period in 2007. For the three months
ended March 31, 2008, net charge-offs were $13,000 compared to net charge-offs
of $6,000 for the same period in 2007. Net recoveries for the twelve months
ended December 31, 2007 were $492,000 which included a single recovery of
$619,000. The ratio of net charge-offs to average loans outstanding for the
three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 was 0.00% and 0.00%,
respectively.
At
March
31, 2008, the allowance for credit losses was $5,120,000 compared to $5,007,000
at December 31, 2007, and $4,284,000 at March 31, 2007. The increase from
March 31, 2007 is attributable to additional loan loss provision and the single
recovery discussed above. The ratio of the allowance for credit losses to total
loans outstanding (including loans held for sale) was 1.11%, 1.10% and 0.93%,
at
March 31, 2008, December 31, 2007, and March 31, 2007,
respectively.
Net
charge-offs, provision expense, and non-performing loans for the first quarter
of 2008 were relatively low, contrary to the trends in the financial services
industry today. We believe this reflects the Company’s conservative underwriting
policies and continued efforts to monitor and address potential credit issues
early and effectively.
16
There
is
no precise method of predicting specific credit losses or amounts that
ultimately may be charged off. 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 is a matter of judgment that
requires consideration of many factors, including (a) 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 analysis, on a monthly
basis, of all loans judged to present a possibility of loss (if, as a result
of
such monthly analysis, 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. An analysis of the adequacy of the allowance is conducted by management
quarterly and is reviewed by the board of directors. Based on this analysis,
management considers the allowance for credit losses to be adequate at March
31,
2008.
Non-performing
assets and foreclosed real estate owned.
Non-performing assets totaled $4,053,000 at March 31, 2008. This represents
0.88% of total loans (including loans held for sale), compared to $6,411,000,
or
1.41%, at December 31, 2007, and $1,819,000, or 0.39%, at March 31, 2007.
Non-accrual loans totaled $3,934,000, $3,479,000 and $1,810,000 at March 31,
2008, December 31, 2007 and March 31, 2007, respectively. Accruing loans past
due 90 days or more at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 are made up entirely
of loans which are 100% guaranteed by the United States Department of
Agriculture (USDA).

Non-interest
income and expense.
Non-interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2008 increased $264,000
or 27.9%, compared to the same period in 2007. Gain on sales of loans, the
largest component of non-interest income, totaled $459,000 and $425,000 for
the
three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The increase for
the
three month period is due to increased refinancing activity as the result of
lower mortgage rates. Management expects gain on sales of loans to remain flat
for the rest of 2008 due to new home construction slowing and downward pressure
on home values in our markets, which may be only partially offset by increased
refinancing activity.
Other
operating income increased $190,000, or 101.6%, to $377,000, and consists mostly
of income from bank owned life insurance. The increase is due to $5,000,000
in
additional policies purchased in the fourth quarter of 2007 in connection with
adoption of a supplemental executive retirement plan for executive officers.
17
Non-interest
expense for the three months ended March 31, 2008 increased $337,000 compared
to
the same period in 2007. Increased staffing as the result of annual pay
increases, benefits, occupancy, and training expenses were the major
contributing factors to increased non-interest expense. Full time equivalent
employees at March 31, 2008 were 212 compared to 211 at March 31, 2007. In
order
to improve processing time, efficiency, technology capabilities and support
future growth of the Company, management has recently decided to outsource
its
core operating system and convert from an in-house environment to a service
bureau, which is expected to occur in the second quarter of 2008.
Income
taxes.
The
federal income tax provision for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and
2007
was $324,000. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2008
was 23.6%. 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 Bancorp Inc. acquisition. This resulted in a $215,000
favorable tax adjustment recorded during the first quarter of 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.
Financial
Condition
Assets.
Total
assets were $577,330,000 at March 31, 2008, an increase of $11,743,000, or
2.08%, over year-end 2007. Loans, including loans held for sale, were
$462,123,000 at March 31, 2008, an increase of $6,050,000, or 1.33%, over
year-end 2007. Growth in investments and loans were the primary contributors
to
overall asset growth.
Investments.
The
investment portfolio provides the Company with an income alternative to loans.
The Company’s investment portfolio at March 31, 2008 was $49,976,000 compared to
$47,241,000 at the end of 2007, an increase of 2,735,000 or 5.79%. The Company
grew the available-for-sale portion of its investment portfolio during the
first
quarter of 2008 as part of a leveraging strategy in response to the FOMC’s
continued interest rate cuts. The increase in the investment portfolio was
funded through Federal Home Loan Bank advances.
Loans.
Interest
and fees earned on our loan portfolio is our primary source of revenue. Loans
represented 80% of total assets as of March 31, 2008, compared to 81% at
December 31, 2007 and 80% at March 31, 2007. 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 at origination generally do not exceed 75% 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 minimize risk even in a downturn in the commercial real estate
market. Beginning in late 2006 and continuing into 2007, the Company purposely
strengthened its underwriting criteria for advance rates on raw land loans,
land
development loans, residential lots, speculative construction for condominiums
and all construction loans as the housing market softened. The Company does
not
originate subprime residential mortgage loans, nor does it hold any in its
loan
portfolio.
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 will be launching an automated consumer lending
platform in the second quarter of 2008, which we anticipate will expedite the
loan approval process and increase consumer loan balances.

Deposits. Total
deposits were $464,810,000 at March 31, 2008, a decrease of $2,526,000, or
0.54%, compared to December 31, 2007. The decrease is attributable to the
redemption of $5,000,000 in brokered time deposits during the first quarter
of
2008, which was partially offset by normal deposit growth. Management expects
our deposit balances to increase during the rest of 2008, which is consistent
with the cyclical pattern of our deposits for our tourist heavy locations that
typically reach their highest point in the third quarter of the year.
Competitive pressures from banks in our market areas with strained liquidity
positions may slow our deposit growth. In addition, the slowing economy could
also impact our ability to grow deposits. In the long-term we anticipate
continued growth in our core deposits through both the addition of new customers
and our current client base. We have established and expanded a branch system
to
serve our consumer and business depositors. In addition, management’s strategy
for funding asset growth is to make use of brokered and other wholesale deposits
on an as-needed basis.
Liquidity.
Adequate
liquidity is available to accommodate fluctuations in deposit levels, fund
operations, provide for customer credit needs, and meet obligations and
commitments on a timely basis. The Bank’s primary sources of funds are customer
deposits, maturities of investment securities, loan sales, loan repayments,
net
income, and other borrowings. When necessary, liquidity can be increased by
taking advances available from credit available to the Bank. The Bank maintains
credit facilities with correspondent banks totaling $51,000,000, of which
$5,000,000 was used at March 31, 2008. In addition, the Bank has a credit line
with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Seattle for up to 20% of assets, of which
$35,500,000 was used at March 31, 2008. For its funds, the Company relies on
dividends from the Bank and proceeds from the issuance of trust preferred
securities, both of which are used for various corporate purposes, including
dividends.
At
March
31, 2008, two wholly-owned subsidiary grantor trusts established by the Company
had issued and outstanding $13,403,000 of trust preferred securities. For
additional information regarding trust preferred securities, see the 2007 10K
under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations – Liquidity”.
Capital.
Total
shareholders' equity was $52,548,000 at March 31, 2008, an increase of
$1,849,000, or 3.6%, compared to December 31, 2007. The Federal Reserve and
the
Federal Deposit Insurance Commission have established minimum guidelines that
mandate risk-based capital requirements for bank holding companies and member
banks. Under the guidelines, risk percentages are assigned to various categories
of assets and off-balance sheet items to calculate a risk-adjusted capital
ratio. Regulatory minimum risk-based capital guidelines require Tier 1 capital
to risk-weighted assets of 4% and total capital to risk-weighted assets of
8%.
The Company’s Tier 1 and Total Risk Based Capital ratios were 11.84% and 12.98%,
respectively, at March 31, 2008 compared with 11.37% and 12.49%, respectively
at
December 31, 2007.
19
Additionally,
to qualify as “well-capitalized”, the Bank must have a Tier 1 risk based capital
ratio of at least 6%, total risk based capital of at least 10%, and a leverage
ratio of a least 5%. The Bank qualified as “well-capitalized” at March 31, 2008.
ITEM
3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET
RISK
Interest
rate, credit, and operations risks are the most significant market risks that
affect the Company's performance. The Company relies on loan review, prudent
loan underwriting standards, and an adequate allowance for possible credit
losses to mitigate credit risk.
An
asset/liability management simulation model is used to measure interest rate
risk. The model produces regulatory oriented measurements of interest rate
risk
exposure. The model quantifies interest rate risk by simulating forecasted
net
interest income over a 12-month time period under various interest rate
scenarios, as well as monitoring the change in the present value of equity
under
the same rate scenarios. The present value of equity is defined as the
difference between the market value of assets less current liabilities. By
measuring the change in the present value of equity under various rate
scenarios, management is able to identify interest rate risk that may not be
evident from changes in forecasted net interest income.
The
Company is currently asset sensitive, meaning that interest earning assets
mature or re-price more quickly than interest-bearing liabilities in a given
period. Therefore, a significant increase in market rates of interest could
improve net interest income. Conversely, a decreasing rate environment may
adversely affect net interest income.
It
should
be noted that the simulation model does not take into account future management
actions that could be undertaken should actual market rates change during the
year. Also, the simulation model results are not exact measures of the Company's
actual interest rate risk. They are only indicators of rate risk exposure based
on assumptions produced in a simplified modeling environment designed to
heighten sensitivity to changes in interest rates. The rate risk exposure
results of the simulation model typically are greater than the Company's actual
rate risk. That is due to the conservative modeling environment, which generally
depicts a worst-case situation. Management has assessed the results of the
simulation reports as of March 31, 2008 and believes that there has been no
material change since December 31, 2007.

ITEM
4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
The
Company's disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that
information the Company must disclose in its reports filed or submitted under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act") is recorded, processed,
summarized, and reported on a timely basis. 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.
No
change
in the Company's internal control over financial reporting occurred during
our
last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to
materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial
reporting.
