Forward Looking
Information
This
document contains forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and
uncertainties. These statements are based on the current 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. changing
laws, regulations, standards, and government programs, that may limit our
revenue sources, eliminate insurance currently available on some deposit
products, significantly increase our costs, including compliance and insurance
costs, and place additional burdens on our limited management resources or lead
us to change our strategies;
2. poor
economic or business conditions, nationally and in the regions in which we do
business, that have resulted in, and may continue to result in, among other
things, a deterioration in credit quality and/or reduced demand for credit and
other banking services, increases in nonperforming assets, and additional
workout and other real estate owned (“OREO”) expenses;
3. decreases
in real estate and other asset prices, whether or not due to changes in economic
conditions, that may reduce the value of the assets that serve as collateral for
many of our loans;
4. competitive
pressures among depository and other financial institutions that may impede our
ability to attract and retain depositors, borrowers and other customers, retain
our key employees, and/or maintain and improve our net interest margin and
income and non-interest income, such as fees income;
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. 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; 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, financial condition, and share value are beyond
our ability to predict or control. 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 (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 16 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 2009. One branch in Whatcom County that was acquired as part of Pacific's
acquisition of BNW Bancorp, Inc. (BNW) on February 27, 2004, was closed during
2009.
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, 2009, the Company had total
consolidated assets of $668.6 million, total loans, including loans held for
sale, of $494.6 million, total deposits of $567.7 million, and total
shareholders' equity of $57.6 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.bankofthepacific.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 value of our collateral is subject to
change.
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 also
utilizes 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 easier. 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.bankofthepacific.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. During the
second quarter 2009, the Company exercised its right to defer interest payments
on its trust preferred securities. At December 31, 2009, the Company had accrued
but unpaid interest of $403,000. For more information regarding the Company's
issuance of trust preferred securities, see Note 9 "Junior Subordinated
Debentures" to Pacific's audited consolidated financial statements included in
Item 15 of this report.
Competition
Competition
in the banking industry is significant. Banks face a number of competitors with
respect to the provision of banking services and the attracting of deposits.
Competition comes from both bank and non-bank sources and from both large
national and smaller local institutions. Many of these institutions, such as
Wells Fargo Bank, Bank of America, and Chase Bank, as well as newer bank holding
companies like American Express and GMAC, have significantly greater resources
than the Company and the Bank. As a result, competition for deposits and loan
and other products is significant and may continue to increase, particularly in
Pacific's larger market in and around Bellingham, Washington.
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-
Consolidation
trends among financial institutions may accelerate as a result of the severe
distress throughout the industry and particularly in the state of Washington. As
a result of this distress, there may be opportunities for Pacific to acquire
customers, personnel, and perhaps assets or even branches. The ability to do so
will depend on Pacific's financial condition, as well as on its ability to
compete successfully with other financial institutions when opportunities arise.
Many competitive institutions have greater resources and better access to
capital markets than we do, which may make it difficult for us to compete
successfully for opportunities created by financial distress at other
institutions.
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, 2009, the
Company held a deposit market share of 30.4% in Pacific County, 49.6% in
Wahkiakum County, 26.6% in Grays Harbor County, 3.3% in Whatcom County, 1.3% in
Skagit County and 1.4% in Clatsop County.
Employees
As of
December 31, 2009, the Bank employed 219 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 laws and regulations applicable
to the Company and its subsidiaries are primarily intended to protect depositors
and borrowers of the Bank and not stockholders of the Company. Various proposals
to change the laws and regulations governing the banking industry are pending in
Congress, in state legislatures and before the various bank regulatory agencies,
and new or amended proposals are expected. In the current economic climate and
regulatory environment, the likelihood of enactment of new banking legislation
and promulgation of new banking regulations is significantly greater than it has
been in recent years. The potential impact of new laws and regulations on the
Company and its subsidiaries cannot be determined, but any such laws and
regulations may materially affect the business and prospects of the Company and
its subsidiaries. Violation of the laws and regulations applicable to the
Company and its subsidiaries may result in assessment of substantial civil
monetary penalties, the imposition of a cease and desist or similar order, and
other regulatory sanctions, as well as private litigation.
The
Company
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 primary 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.
-6-
Bank
Holding Company Regulation
General. The BHCA
restricts the direct and indirect activities of the Company to banking, managing
or controlling banks and other subsidiaries authorized under the BHCA, and
activities that are closely related to banking or managing or controlling banks.
The Company must obtain approval of the Federal Reserve before it: (1) acquires
direct or indirect ownership or control of any voting shares of any bank or bank
holding company that results in total ownership or control, directly or
indirectly, of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of any class of voting
securities of such bank or bank holding company; (2) merges or consolidates with
another bank holding company; or (3) acquires 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 the convenience and needs of the
communities to be served, including the performance record under the Community
Reinvestment Act.
Source of Strength.
Under Federal Reserve policy, the Company must 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, and that under certain
conditions, the Federal Reserve may conclude that certain actions of Company,
such as payment of cash dividends, would constitute unsafe and unsound banking
practices.
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.
Effects
of Government Monetary Policy
Banking
is a business which depends on interest rate differentials. In general, the
major portions of a bank's earnings derives from the differences between: (i)
interest received by a bank on loans extended to its customers and the yield on
securities held in its investment portfolio; and (ii) the interest paid by a
bank on its deposits and its other borrowings (the bank's "cost of funds").
Thus, our earnings and growth are constantly subject to the influence of
economic conditions generally, both domestic and foreign, and also to the
monetary, fiscal and related policies of the United States and its agencies,
particularly the Federal Reserve and the U.S. Treasury. The nature and timing of
changes in such policies and their impact cannot be predicted.
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.
-7-
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.
Deposit
Insurance
The
deposits of the Bank are currently insured to a maximum of $250,000 per
depositor under temporary rules, and certain self-directed retirement accounts
continue to be insured 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. In 2008, the FDIC insurance
limit on most deposit accounts was temporarily increased from $100,000 to
$250,000. The increase expires at the end of 2013, unless otherwise extended or
made permanent.
The FDIC
may 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. Due to losses and projected losses
attributed to failed institutions, the FDIC imposed a special assessment of 5
basis points on the amount of each depository institution's assets reduced by
the amount of its Tier 1 capital (not to exceed 10 basis points of its
assessment base for regular quarterly premiums) as of June 30, 2009, which was
collected on September 30, 2009. 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 Deposit Insurance Fund (DIF).
-8-
The FDIC
assesses deposit insurance premiums on each FDIC-insured institution quarterly
based on annualized rates for one of four risk categories applied to its
deposits, subject to certain adjustments. Each institution is assigned to one of
four risk categories based on its capital, supervisory ratings and other
factors. Well capitalized institutions that are financially sound with only a
few minor weaknesses are assigned to Risk Category I. Risk Categories II, III
and IV present progressively greater perceived risks to the DIF. Under FDIC's
risk-based assessment rules, effective April 1, 2009, the initial base
assessment rates prior to adjustments range from 12 to 16 basis points for Risk
Category I, 22 basis points for Risk Category II, 32 basis points for Risk
Category III, and 45 basis points for Risk Category IV. Initial base assessment
rates are subject to adjustments based on an institution's unsecured debt,
secured liabilities and brokered deposits, such that the total base assessment
rates after adjustments range from 7 to 24 basis points for Risk Category I, 17
to 43 basis points for Risk Category II, 27 to 58 basis points for Risk Category
III, and 40 to 77.5 basis points for Risk Category IV. Rates increase uniformly
by 3 basis points effective January 1, 2011.
As a
result of a decline in the reserve ratio (the ratio of the DIF to estimated
insured deposits) and concerns about expected failure costs and available liquid
assets in the DIF, the FDIC adopted a rule that required each insured
institution to prepay on December 30, 2009 the estimated amount of its quarterly
assessments for the fourth quarter of 2009 and all quarters through the end of
2012. The prepaid amount is recorded as an asset with a zero risk weight and the
institution will continue to record quarterly expenses for deposit insurance.
For purposes of calculating the prepaid amount, assessments were measured at the
institution's assessment rate as of September 30, 2009, with a uniform increase
of 3 basis points effective January 1, 2011, and were based on the institution's
assessment base for the third quarter of 2009, with growth assumed quarterly at
annual rate of 5%. If events cause actual assessments during the prepayment
period to vary from the prepaid amount, institutions will pay excess assessments
in cash or receive a rebate of prepaid amounts not exhausted after collection of
assessments due on June 13, 2013, as applicable. Collection of the prepayment
does not preclude the FDIC from changing assessment rates or revising the
risk-based assessment system in the future.
Transaction
Account Guarantee Program
On
October 14, 2008, the FDIC established a Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program.
The TLGP includes a Transaction Account Guarantee Program (the TAGP), which
provides unlimited deposit insurance coverage through June 30, 2010 for
qualifying non-interest bearing transaction accounts, interest on lawyer trust
accounts (IOLTAs), and certain negotiable order of withdrawal (NOW) accounts.
Institutions participating in the TAGP pay a fee on the balance of each covered
account in excess of $250,000 based on that institution's risk rating. Coverage
under the TAGP is in addition to and separate from the coverage available under
the FDIC's general deposit insurance rules. The TAGP is scheduled to expire at
the end of second quarter 2010. Expiration of the program may have an adverse
effect on our ability to retain deposit balances after that date.
Dividends
Dividends
from the Bank constitute the major source of liquidity for the Company, from
which the Company may cover its expenses, pay interest on its obligations,
including its debentures issued in connection with trust preferred securities,
and declare and pay dividends to shareholders. The amount of dividends payable
by the Bank to the Company depends on the Bank's earnings and capital position,
and is limited by federal and state laws, regulations and policies. In addition,
the Bank is subject to certain restrictions on the amount of dividends that it
may declare without prior regulatory approval.
Electronic Funds Transfer Act and
Regulation E- Recent Developments.
The
electronic Funds Transfer Act (the EFTA) provides a basic framework for
establishing the rights, liabilities, and responsibilities of participants in
electronic funds transfer (EFT) systems. The EFTA is implemented by the Federal
Reserve's Regulation E which governs transfers initiated through ATMs,
point-of-sale terminals, payroll cards, automated clearinghouse (ACH)
transactions, telephone bill-payment plans, or remote banking services.
Regulation E was recently amended to require bank customers to opt in
(affirmatively consent) to participation in overdraft service programs for ATM
and one-time debit card transactions before overdraft fees may be assessed on
the customer's account and provides an ongoing right to revoke consent to
participation. For customers who do not affirmatively consent to overdraft
service for ATM and one-time debit card transactions, a bank must provide those
customers with the same account terms, conditions, and features that it provides
to consumers who do affirmatively consent, except for the overdraft
service.
-9-
Real
Estate Concentration Guidance
On
December 6, 2008, the federal banking agencies issued guidance on sound risk
management practices for concentrations in commercial real estate lending. The
particular focus was on exposure to commercial real estate loans that are
dependent on the cash flow from the real estate held as collateral and that are
likely to be sensitive to conditions in the commercial real estate market (as
opposed to real estate collateral held as a secondary source of repayment or as
an abundance of caution). The purpose of the guidance is not to limit a bank's
commercial real estate lending but to guide banks in developing risk management
practices and capital levels commensurate with the level and nature of real
estate concentrations. A bank that has experienced rapid growth in commercial
real estate lending has notable exposure to a specific type of commercial real
estate loan, or is approaching or exceeding the following supervisory criteria
may be identified for further supervisory analysis with respect to real estate
concentration risk:
|
·
|
Total
reported loans for construction, land development and other land
representing 100% or more of the bank's capital;
or
|
|
·
|
Total
commercial real estate loans representing 300% or more of the bank's total
capital.
|
The
strength of an institution's lending and risk management practices with respect
to such concentrations will be taken into account in supervisory evaluation of
capital adequacy. At December 31, 2009, the Bank was under the limits described
above.
On March
17, 2008, the FDIC issued a release to re-emphasize the importance of strong
capital and loan loss allowance levels and robust credit risk management
practices for institutions with concentrated commercial real estate exposures.
The FDIC suggested that institutions with significant construction and
development and commercial real estate loan concentrations increase or maintain
strong capital levels; ensure that loan loss allowances are appropriately
strong; manage construction and development and commercial real estate loan
portfolios closely; maintain updated financial and analytical information on
their borrowers and collateral; and bolster the loan workout
infrastructure.
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
levels, the bank holding company or bank may be denied approval to acquire or
establish additional banks or non-bank businesses or to open new
facilities.
The FDIC
and Federal Reserve use risk-based capital guidelines for banks and bank holding
companies. Risk-based guidelines are designed to make 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 low-risk 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 may require that a banking organization maintain ratios
in excess of the minimums, particularly organizations contemplating significant
expansion. 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
preferred stock and minority interests in equity accounts of consolidated
subsidiaries, minus certain deductions, including, without limitation, goodwill,
other identifiable intangible assets, and deferred tax assets.
-10-
The
Federal Reserve also employs a leverage ratio, which is Tier I capital as a
percentage of total assets minus certain deductions, including, without
limitation, goodwill, mortgage servicing assets, other identifiable intangible
assets, and certain deferred tax assets, 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%.
Under
regulations adopted by the Federal Reserve and the FDIC, each bank holding
company and bank is assigned to one of five capital categories depending on,
among other things, 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. Under these guidelines, the Company and the Bank are each
considered well capitalized as of the end of the fiscal year.
ITEM
1A. Risk
Factors
The
following are 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.
The
current economic recession in the market areas we serve may continue to
adversely impact our earnings and could increase the credit risk associated with
our loan portfolio.
Substantially
all of our loans are to businesses and individuals in the state of Washington
and Oregon. A continuing decline in the economies of our local market areas in
which we operate could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition, results of operations and prospects. In particular, Washington has
experienced substantial home price declines and increased foreclosures and has
experienced above average unemployment rates.
Further
deterioration or sustained weakness in business and economic conditions in the
markets in which we do business could have one or more of the following adverse
effects on our business:
·
|
An
increase in loan delinquencies, problem assets and
foreclosures;
|
·
|
A
decrease in the demand for loans and other products and
services;
|
·
|
An
increase or decrease in the usage of unfunded commitments;
or
|
·
|
A
decrease in the value of loan collateral, especially real estate, which in
turn may reduce a customer's borrowing power and significantly increase
our exposure to particular loans.
|
Future
credit losses may exceed our allowance for credit 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 continued or
sustained downturn in the economy or the real estate market in our market areas
or a rapid change in interest rates will have a negative effect on borrowers'
ability to repay and on collateral values. This deterioration in economic
conditions could result in losses to the Company in excess of the allowance for
credit losses. 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 will be charged to the provision for
credit losses, which would further reduce income.
-11-
Our
provision for credit losses has increased substantially and we may be required
to make further increases in our provision for credit losses and to charge-off
additional loans in the future, which could adversely affect our results of
operations.
For the
year ended December 31, 2009, we recorded a provision for credit losses of $9.9
million, compared to $4.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2008. We also
recorded net loan charge-offs of $6.5 million for the year ended December 31,
2009 compared to $2.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2008. Our
nonperforming loans and assets generally reflect unique operating difficulties
for individual borrowers rather than weakness in the overall economy of the
Pacific Northwest; however, more recently the deterioration in the general
economy has become a significant contributing factor to the increased levels of
delinquencies and nonperforming loans. Slower sales in certain market areas and
excess inventory in the housing market have been the primary causes of the
increase in delinquencies and foreclosures for residential construction and land
development loans, which represent 72.4% of our nonperforming assets at December
31, 2009.
Until
general economic conditions improve and if current trends in housing and real
estate markets continue, we expect that we will continue to experience higher
than normal delinquencies and credit losses. As a result, we could be required
to make further increases in our provision for credit losses and to charge off
additional loans in the future which could have a material adverse effect on our
financial condition and results of operations. Further, our portfolio contains
construction and land loans and commercial and commercial real estate loans, all
of which have a higher risk of loss than residential real estate
loans.
We
continue to hold and acquire a significant amount of other real estate owned
(“OREO”) properties, which has led to increased operating expenses and
vulnerability to additional declines in the market value of real estate in our
areas of operations.
We
foreclose on and take title to the real estate serving as collateral for many of
our loans as part of our business. During 2009, we continued to acquire a
significant amount of OREO and at December 31, 2009, the Bank had 15 OREO
properties with an aggregate book value of $6,665,000. Large OREO balances have
led to increased expenses, as we have incurred costs to manage, maintain, and
dispose of our OREO properties. We expect that our earnings in 2010 will
continue to be negatively affected by various expenses associated with OREO,
including personnel costs, insurance and taxes, completion and repair costs,
valuation adjustments, and other expenses associated with property ownership.
Also, at the time that we foreclose on a loan and take possession of a property
we estimate the value of that property using third party appraisals and opinions
and internal judgments. OREO property is valued on our books at the estimated
market value of the property, less the estimated costs to sell (or "fair
value"). Upon foreclosure, a charge-off to the allowance for credit losses is
recorded for any excess between the value of the asset on our books over its
fair value. Thereafter, we periodically reassess our judgment of fair value
based on updated appraisals or other factors, including, at times, at the
request of our regulators. Any further declines in our estimate of fair value
for OREO will result in additional charges, with a corresponding expense in our
statements of income that is recorded under the line item for "OREO
Write-downs." As a result, we are vulnerable to additional declines in the
market for residential and commercial real estate in the areas in which we
operate. The expenses associated with OREO and any further property write downs
could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial
condition. We currently have $15.6 million in nonaccrual loans, which may lead
to further increases in our OREO balance in the future.
-12-
We
may suffer losses in our loan portfolio despite our underwriting
practices.
We seek
to mitigate the risk inherent in our loan portfolio by adhering to specific
underwriting practices. Although we believe that our underwriting criteria are
appropriate for the various kinds of loans we make, we may incur losses on loans
that meet our underwriting criteria, and these losses may exceed the amounts set
aside as reserves in our allowance for credit losses.
We
face liquidity risks in the operation of our business and our funding sources
may prove insufficient to support growth opportunities or repay deposits
.
Liquidity
is crucial to the operation of the Company and the Bank. Liquidity
risk is the potential that we will be unable to fund increases in assets or
meet payment obligations, including obligations to depositors, as they
become due because of an inability to obtain adequate funding or liquidate
assets. For example, funding illiquidity may arise if we are unable
to attract core deposits or are unable to renew at acceptable pricing
long-term borrowings or short-term borrowings. Illiquidity may also arise if our
regulatory capital levels decrease, our lenders require additional collateral to
secure our repayment obligations, or a large amount of our deposits are
withdrawn. The TAGP is scheduled to expire June 30, 2010, and as a result,
certain deposit accounts in excess of $250,000 that presently have FDIC
insurance will lose that coverage. It is difficult to predict the effect
expiration of unlimited insurance coverage on certain accounts will have on our
ability to attract and retain deposits, but there can be no assurance that
expiration of the program will not have a material adverse effect on our deposit
balances and a corresponding effect on liquidity.
We rely
on customer deposits and advances from the FHLB of Seattle and other borrowings
to fund our operations. Although we have historically been able to replace
maturing deposits and advances if desired, we may not be able to replace such
funds in the future if our financial condition or the financial condition of the
FHLB of Seattle or market conditions were to change. If we are required to rely
more heavily on more expensive funding sources to support operations, our
revenues may not increase proportionately to cover our costs. In this case, our
net interest margin would be adversely affected, making it even more difficult
for our businesses to operate profitably.
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
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.
-13-
An
increase in interest rates, change in the programs offered by secondary market
investors or our ability to qualify for their programs may reduce our gain on
sale of loans held for sale, which would negatively impact our non-interest
income.
The sale
of residential mortgage loans classified as loans held for sale provides a
significant portion of our non-interest income. Changes in programs applicable
to the re-sale of residential mortgages or our eligibility to participate in
such programs could materially adversely affect our results of operations if we
are not able to find other purchasers. Further, in a rising or higher interest
rate environment, our originations of mortgage loans held for sale may decrease,
resulting in fewer loans that are available to be sold. This would result in a
decrease in gain on sale of loans sold and a corresponding decrease in
non-interest income. During periods of reduced loan demand, our results of
operations may be further adversely affected to the extent that we are unable to
reduce expenses commensurate with the decline in the volume of loan originations
and sales.
We
may elect or be compelled to seek additional capital in the future, but that
capital may not be available when it is needed.
We are
required by federal and state regulatory authorities to maintain adequate levels
of capital to support our operations. In addition, we may elect to raise capital
to support our business or to finance acquisitions, if any. Our ability to raise
additional capital, if needed, will depend on conditions in the capital markets,
economic conditions and a number of other factors, many of which our outside our
control, and on our financial performance. Accordingly, we cannot assure you of
our ability to raise additional capital, if needed, on terms acceptable to us.
If we do raise capital, equity financing may be dilutive to existing
shareholders and any debt financing may include covenants or other restrictions
that limit our operating flexibility. If we cannot raise additional capital when
needed, it may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition,
results of operations and prospects.
The
Company and the Bank are each 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 operations
of the Company and the Bank. 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 the Bank and could adversely affect
the Company's financial condition or results of operations.
The
Congressional and regulatory response to the current economic and credit crisis
could have an adverse effect on our business.
Federal
and state legislators and regulators are pursuing increased regulation of how
banks are operated and how loans are originated, purchased, and sold as a result
of the current economic and credit crisis. Changes in the lending market and
secondary markets for loans and related congressional and regulatory responses
may impact how the Bank makes and underwrites loans, buys and sells loans in
secondary markets, and otherwise conducts its business. We are unable to predict
whether any legislative or regulatory initiatives or actions will be
implemented, what form they will take, whether they will be directed at the
Bank, or whether such initiatives or actions, once they are initiated or taken,
will thereafter continue to change. Any such actions could affect us in
substantial and unpredictable ways and could have an adverse effect on our
business, financial condition and results of operations. For more information
regarding the regulatory environment in which we operate, see "Supervision and
Regulation" in Item 1 of this report above.
-14-
Increases
in deposit insurance premiums and special FDIC assessments may adversely affect
our profits.
Effective
April 1, 2009, the FDIC has updated its regulations to: (i) alter the way in
which it assesses the risk of loss that individual banks pose to the deposit
insurance fund; (ii) revise deposit insurance assessment rates; and (iii) allow
for special assessments as necessary to replenish the deposit insurance fund.
Each bank is assigned to one of four risk categories based on whether the bank
is well capitalized, adequately capitalized, or undercapitalized, and based on
the bank's supervisory examination by its primary federal regulator (in our
case, the FDIC). Based on its risk category, a bank pays a base assessment rate
for deposit insurance, ranging from 12 to 45 basis points. The base rate is
adjusted to reflect increased or decreased risk to the deposit insurance fund
posed by unsecured debt, secured liabilities, and brokered deposits. After
adjustment to the base assessment rate, a bank's total base assessment rate for
deposit insurance can range from 7 to 77.5 basis points. In addition, the FDIC
imposed a special assessment on all insured institutions in May 2009. Our FDIC
deposit insurance expense for the year ended December 31, 2009 was $1,802,000,
including a special assessment of $306,000, compared to insurance expenses of
$214,000 in the prior year. Changes to our risk category and applicable base
rate adjustments may significantly increase our aggregate deposit insurance
premiums, which may adversely impact our results of operations.
We
rely on dividends from subsidiaries for substantially all of our
liquidity.
The
Company is a separate and distinct legal entity from the Bank. The Company
receives substantially all of its liquidity from dividends from the Bank. These
dividends are the principal source of funds to pay interest and principal on our
debt, other expenses, or dividends on our common stock, if any. Various federal
and/or state laws and regulations limit the amount of dividends that the Bank
may pay to the holding company, as may the actions of regulators. In the event
the Bank is unable to pay dividends to the Company, it may not be able to
service debt, pay any other obligations or pay dividends on common stock. The
Company did not pay a dividend for 2009.
The
financial services industry is very competitive.
We face
competition in attracting and retaining deposits, making loans, and providing
other financial services. 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 we have. 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,
including deposits, and face a reduction in our income from our lending
activities.
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.
-15-
Other-than-temporary
impairment charges in our investment securities portfolio could result in
significant losses and adversely affect our continuing operations.
We
closely monitor our investment securities for changes in credit risk. The
valuation of our investment securities also is influenced by external market and
other factors, including implementation of Securities and Exchange Commission
and Financial Accounting Standards Board guidance on fair value accounting,
default rates on residential mortgage securities, rating agency actions, and the
prices at which observable market transactions occur. The current market
environment significantly limits our ability to mitigate our exposure to
valuation changes in our investment securities by selling them. Accordingly, if
market conditions deteriorate further and we determine our holdings of our
private label mortgage backed securities or other investment securities are
other-than-temporarily-impaired our future results of operations, shareholders'
equity, regulatory capital and financial condition could be materially adversely
affected.
We
may experience future goodwill impairment, which could reduce our
earnings.
We
performed our test for goodwill impairment for fiscal year 2009, and no
impairment was identified. Our assessment of the fair value of goodwill is based
on an evaluation of current purchase transactions, discounted cash flows from
forecasted earnings, our current market capitalization, and a valuation of our
assets. Our evaluation of the fair value of goodwill involves a substantial
amount of judgment. If our judgment was incorrect and an impairment of goodwill
was deemed to exist, we would be required to write down our assets resulting in
a charge to earnings, which would have a material effect on our results of
operations; however, it would have no impact on our liquidity, operations or
regulatory capital.
We
may be subject to environmental and other liability risks associated with
lending activities.
We
foreclose on and take title to real estate in the regular course of our
business. Property ownership increases our expenses due to the costs of managing
and disposing of properties. Although environmental site assessments are
completed on properties that are considered an environment risk before such
properties are accepted as collateral, there remains 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 results of operations and financial condition.
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.
-16-
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.
Our
investment in Federal Home Loan Bank stock may become impaired.
At
December 31, 2009, we owned $3.2 million in FHLB stock. As a condition of
membership at the FHLB, we are required to purchase and hold a certain amount of
FHLB stock. Our stock purchase requirement is based, in part, upon the
outstanding principal balance of advances from the FHLB and is calculated in
accordance with the Capital Plan of the FHLB. Our FHLB stock has a par value of
$100, is carried at cost, and it is subject to recoverability testing per
accounting guidance for the impairment of long-lived assets. The FHLB currently
has a risk-based capital deficiency under the regulations of the Federal Housing
Finance Agency (the FHFA), its primary regulator, and has suspended future
dividends and the repurchase and redemption of outstanding common stock. The
FHLB has communicated that it believes the calculation of risk-based capital
under the current rules of the FHFA significantly overstates the market risk of
the FHLB's private-label mortgage-backed securities in the current market
environment and that it has enough capital to cover the risks reflected in its
balance sheet. As a result, we have not recorded an other-than-temporary
impairment on our investment in FHLB stock. However, continued deterioration in
the FHLB's financial position may result in impairment in the value of those
securities. We will continue to monitor the financial condition of the FHLB as
it relates to, among other things, the recoverability of our
investment.
The
sale of shares of common stock issued in our 2009 private offering may have an
adverse effect on the market price of our common stock.
We issued
a total of 2,798,582 shares of common stock in our 2009 private offering. These
shares constitute restricted securities under federal securities law and cannot
be re-sold for a period of six months after purchase, at which time they may be
sold, subject to certain limitations under Rule 144 under the Securities Act. In
addition, in November 2009, the Securities and Exchange Commission declared
effective a registration statement pursuant to which we registered 695,000
shares of our common stock, or approximately 6.8% of our outstanding common
stock at February 20, 2010, for resale by an investor in our 2009 private
placement. The market value of our common stock may be adversely effected by the
sale of a large amount of these shares or even the perception that such sales
could occur. This is particularly true since our common stock is traded in very
low volumes.

As of
December 31, 2009, there were approximately 1,165 shareholders of record of the
Company's common stock. Mellon Investor Services LLC serves as the transfer
agent for our common stock.
The
Company did not declare a dividend in 2009. The Company's Board of Directors
declared a dividend on its common stock in 2008 in the amount of $.05 per share.
Additionally, in 2008, the Company declared a 10% stock dividend, resulting in
the issuance to our shareholders of one new share for every 10 shares held
on the record date for the stock dividend. The Board of Directors has adopted a
dividend policy which is reviewed annually. There can be no assurance as to
whether or when the Company will pay cash dividends again in the
future.
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. In addition, payment of dividends by either entity is subject to
regulatory limitations. 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.
See Note
9 "Junior Subordinated Debentures" to Pacific's audited consolidated financial
statements included in Item 15 of this report for a discussion of restrictions
on the payment of dividends arising out of Pacific's exercise of its right to

7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations
The
following discussion and analysis 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
The
following are important factors in understanding the Company financial condition
and liquidity:
|
·
|
Total
assets at December 31, 2009 increased by $42,791,000, or 6.8%, to
$668,626,000 compared to $625,835,000 at the end of 2008. Growth in
interest bearing deposits in banks, federal funds sold and investments
available-for-sale were the primary contributors to overall asset
growth.
|
|
·
|
The
Bank remains well capitalized with a total risk-based capital ratio of
13.07% at December 31, 2009, compared to 11.65% at December 31, 2008.
During 2009, the Company raised capital by issuing common shares and
warrants in connection with a private offering, with proceeds to the
Company of $12,356,000, further strengthening its capital ratios. See
Footnote 20 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in
Item 15 of this report for further
information.
|
|
·
|
Non-performing
assets decreased slightly during 2009 by $901,000, or 3.8%, to $22,859,000
at December 31, 2009. The decrease was primarily in the non-performing
construction and land development sector which accounts for $13,674,000,
or 59.8%, of nonperforming assets at December 31, 2009 compared to
$17,230,000, or 72.5%, at December 31,
2008.
|
·
|
The Company reduced
overall exposure to construction, land acquisition and other land loans
which declined $35,913,000, or 35.7%, during 2009. This segment of the
portfolio, totaling $64,812,000 at December 31, 2009, accounts for
approximately 13.1% of the total loan
portfolio.
|
·
|
Total
deposits increased $56,388,000, or 11.0%, compared to the prior year. This
increase is mostly attributable to increases during 2009 in retail
deposits and brokered certificates of deposits of $30,757,000 and
$25,631,000, respectively. The increase in brokered certificates of
deposits was to replace maturing public funds that became less desirable
due to stricter pledging
requirements.
|
|
·
|
Total
borrowings decreased $20,877,000, or 34.4%, compared to the prior year.
Due to increases in deposit balances and reductions in loan balances, the
Company was able to payoff short-term borrowings at December 31, 2008 of
$23,500,000 with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Seattle (the
FHLB).
|
|
·
|
As
a result of deposit growth, lower borrowings and increased borrowing
capacity with the Federal Reserve, the Company's liquidity ratio of
approximately 38% at December 31, 2009 translates into over $253 million
in available funding for general operations and to meet loan and deposit
needs.
|
The
Company's net loss for 2009 was $6,338,000, or $0.74 per diluted share, compared
to net income of $951,000, or $0.13 per diluted share in 2008. The following are
significant components of the Company's results of operations for 2009 as
compared to 2008.
-21-
|
·
|
Net
interest income was flat at $21,753,000 compared to $21,715,000 in 2008
due to increases in non-accrual loans and lower overall market interest
rates. Net interest margin for 2009 declined 50 basis points to
3.62% compared to 4.12% in 2008.
|
|
·
|
The
provision for credit losses increased $5,153,000, or 107.6%, to $9,944,000
for 2009. The significant increase is the result of increases
in net charge-offs, impaired loans, performing loans classified as
substandard under the Bank's loan grading system, and loan loss rates, as
well as uncertainties in real estate values in the Pacific
Northwest. Net charge-offs totaled $6,475,000 during 2009
compared to $2,175,000 in 2008. The increases in problem assets
remain concentrated primarily in the land acquisition and development and
residential construction loan
portfolios.
|
|
·
|
Non-interest
income increased $1,968,000, or 38.9%, to $7,025,000 for 2009 due to
increased gain on sales of loans, service charges on deposit accounts and
gain on sale of investment securities, which were partially offset by a
loss on sale of OREO.
|
|
·
|
Non-interest
expense increased $8,100,000, or 37.5%, to $29,691,000 for
2009. The increase is primarily attributable to increases in
FDIC assessments, OREO write-downs and OREO related operating expenses and
commissions paid on loans sold in the secondary
market.
|
|
·
|
In
2009, return on average assets and return on average equity decreased to
(0.96)% and (11.63)%, respectively, compared to 0.16% and 1.83% in 2008 as
a result of the net interest margin compression, increase in provision for
credit losses and OREO write-downs, which are reflective of the
deterioration in credit quality.
|
BUSINESS
OVERVIEW
Reflecting
the challenging economic environment, we will continue to focus on operating
efficiently and controlling expenses in ways that have the least impact on our
customers. We continue to believe that in order to achieve long-term
growth and accomplish our long-term financial objectives we will have to
successfully execute our six defined long-term strategies:
|
·
|
Improve
asset quality by proactively managing problem assets, selectively reducing
loan concentrations, selling OREO and managing credit
exposures;
|
|
·
|
Maintain
capital ratios by controlling the asset growth rate, producing positive
returns to shareholders and utilizing government guarantees in
connection with new loan
originations;
|
|
·
|
Improve
net interest margin by reinvesting short-term cash and cash equivalents
into higher yielding assets, reducing loans on non-accrual status and
growing low cost deposits;
|
|
·
|
Maintain
a strong liquidity position through increased core deposit balances and
maintaining existing borrowing facilities available through the FHLB and
the Federal Reserve Bank;
|
|
·
|
Reduce
controllable operating expenses through fiscal restraint and increased
emphasis on non-interest income;
and
|
|
·
|
Grow
core areas of the balance sheet including commercial real estate and
commercial loans and retail deposits through the quality and breadth of
our branch network, superior sales practices, competitive rates, and an
emphasis on customer and employee satisfaction, which would enable us to
exploit local market
opportunities.
|
-22-
The
degree to which we will be able to execute on these strategies will depend to a
large degree on the local and national economy, improvement in the local markets
for residential real estate, and limited deterioration in the credit quality of
our commercial real estate loans.

Net
income. For
the year ended December 31, 2009, net income (loss) was $(6,338,000) compared to
$951,000 and $6,031,000 for the same periods in 2008 and 2007,
respectively. The decrease in net income for 2009 was primarily due
to increased provisions for credit losses necessary to absorb current period
losses, OREO write-downs resulting from updated valuations and increased FDIC
assessments and continued net interest margin compression, which was only
partially offset by an increase in non-interest income.
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 Federal Open Market Committee of the Federal Reserve
(FOMC). Interest rates on deposits are affected primarily by rates
charged by competitors and actions by the FOMC.
The FOMC
heavily influences market interest rates, including deposit and loan rates
offered by many financial institutions. Also, as rates are near zero,
it becomes more difficult to match decreases in rates on interest earning assets
with decreases in rates paid on interest bearing
liabilities. Approximately 78% of the Company's loan portfolio is
tied to short-term rates, and therefore, re-price immediately when interest rate
changes occur. The Company's funding sources also re-price when rates
change; however, there is a meaningful lag in the timing of the re-pricing of
deposits as compared to loans and decreases in interest rates become less easily
matched by decreases in deposit rates as rates approach zero. Because
of its focus on commercial lending, the Company will continue to have a high
percentage of floating rate loans. As a result of these and other
factors, the Company anticipates that the impact of lower yields on loans and
competition for deposits will continue to put pressure on the net interest
margin.

(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 includes loan fees of $888,000,
$1,132,000, and $1,828,000 in 2009, 2008, and 2007,
respectively.
-24-
Net
interest income on a tax equivalent basis totaled $22,555,000 for the year ended
December 31, 2009, an increase of $264,000, or 1.2%, compared to
2008. Net interest income on a tax equivalent basis decreased 11.0%
to $22,291,000 in 2008 compared to 2007. The Company's tax equivalent
interest income decreased 1.9% to $33,622,000 from year end 2008 to year end
2009, and decreased 15.7% to $34,289,000 in 2008 from $40,666,000 in
2007. The decrease in 2009 and 2008 was primarily due to the decline
in yield earned on our loan portfolio as a direct result of cuts in the federal
funds rate during 2008. The reversal of interest income on loans
placed on non-accrual status, especially in the construction and land
development loan categories, also contributed to the decline in loan
yield. Non-accrual loans totaled $15,647,000 and $14,676,000 at
December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, compared to $3,479,000 in
2007. The decline in loan yield was partially offset by an increase
in yield on investments.
Average
interest earning balances with banks at December 31, 2009 were $36.6 million
with an average yield of 0.30% compared to $3.8 million with an average yield of
1.16% for the same period in 2008. The substantial increase in
average interest earning balances with banks is mostly due to the increase in
cash balances resulting from deposit growth during the year, which was partially
offset by a slight increase in average loan and investment balances
outstanding.
The
Company's average loan portfolio increased $29,458,000, or 6.2%, from year end
2008 to year end 2009, and increased $17,398,000, or 3.8%, from 2007 to
2008. The increase in average loans in 2009 is the result of new loan
volume generated in late 2008 and an increase in commercial real estate loans
and home equity lines of credit in 2009. Average loan growth in 2008
was slower than historical trends primarily as a result of lower demand for
financing in the Bank's market areas due to a slowing
economy. Overall, loan demand remains soft due to the current
economic recession.
The
Company's average investment portfolio increased $9,588,000, or 19.0%, from 2008
to 2009, and $6,494,000, or 14.7%, from 2007 to 2008. Interest and
dividend income on investment securities for the year ended December 31, 2009
increased $607,000, or 21.4%, compared to the same period in
2008. The average yield on investment securities increased to 5.74%
at December 31, 2009, from 5.62% at December 31, 2008 and 5.47% at year-end
2007. The increase is due primarily to the purchase of certain AAA
mortgage-backed securities in the second half of 2008. Most of these
purchases were made at discounts during a period of significant market
illiquidity. Additionally, the investment portfolio is structured to
out perform in a declining rate environment.
The
Company's average interest-bearing deposits increased $86,075,000, or 22.0%,
from 2008 to 2009, and increased $19,140,000, or 5.1%, in 2008 from
2007. The Company attributes the majority of its growth in 2009 to
increases in brokered certificates of deposits to replace maturing public funds
as well as retail deposit growth in the markets we serve. The
increase in 2008 was mostly due to the success of a high-yield checking account
that was introduced during the year and an increase in brokered certificates of
deposits in order to improve overall liquidity on the balance sheet during a
period of volatility and uncertainty in the financial
industry. Additionally, the Company has an experienced branch staff
and commitment to customer service throughout its branch delivery
network. 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 and extraordinary programs expanding deposit insurance on certain
accounts expire.
Average
borrowings decreased during 2009 by $5,028,000, or 9.2%, and increased by
$12,357,000, or 29.3%, during 2008. Due to deposit growth in 2009,
the Company was able to pay down short-term borrowings outstanding at year-end
2008 thereby reducing the average of short-term borrowings outstanding at
December 31, 2009. The increase in 2008 was used primarily to fund
investment purchases and the Company's loan growth in late 2008 with FHLB
advances. These advances are more expensive as compared to funding
growth with lower cost demand, money market or savings
deposits.
-25-
Interest
expense for the year ended December 31, 2009 decreased $931,000, or 7.8%,
compared to the same period in 2008. The 2009 average rate paid on
deposits declined to 1.94% from 2008 primarily due to lower market interest
rates. Additionally, rates paid on borrowings continued to decline to
3.64% during 2009 from 4.04% in 2008 and 5.15% in 2007. The decrease
is primarily attributable to continued rate reductions on $8.2 million in
variable rate junior subordinated debentures which is tied to the three month
London Interbank Officer Rate, which has decreased considerably since
2007. The Company's overall cost of interest-bearing liabilities
decreased to 2.10% in 2009 from 2.69% and 3.78% in 2008 and 2007,
respectively.
The net
interest margin decreased 50 basis points to 3.62% for the year ended December
31, 2009 from 4.12% in the prior year. This was mainly due to
declining loan yields caused by materially lower market interest rates which we
were unable to fully offset by reducing rates paid on deposits and
borrowings. The reversal of interest income on loans placed on
non-accrual status also contributed to the margin compression and reduced net
interest income. In 2008, the net interest margin decreased 70 basis
points to 4.12% in 2008 from 4.82% in 2007 as a result of our inability to match
the large decline in the Federal Funds rate with a corresponding reduction in
deposit and borrowing costs due to market conditions.
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.

Non-Interest
Income. Non-interest
income was $7,025,000 for 2009, an increase of $1,968,000, or 38.9%, from 2008
when it totaled $5,057,000. The 2008 amount increased $582,000, or 13.0%,
compared to the 2007 total of $4,475,000. The increase in 2009 was
primarily a result of increased gains on sale of loans held for sale, increased
service charges on deposits accounts and net gains on sales of investment
securities. Moreover, the increase in 2008 was attributable to
increased gains on sales of loans held for sale, increased service charges on
deposits accounts, net gains on sales of OREO and increased earnings related to
bank owned life insurance (BOLI).

detailed explanation of non-interest income is presented below.

Service
charges on deposits increased 4.6% and 5.6% during 2009 and 2008,
respectively. The Company continues to emphasize the importance of
exceptional customer service and believes this emphasis, together with an
increase in the fourth quarter of 2008 of service charge per item fee, to be
more in line with competition, contributed to the increase in service charge
revenue in 2009 and 2008.
The
$3,212,000 increase in income from gains on sales of loans in 2009 was primarily
a result of an increase in the dollar amount of residential mortgage loans sold
in the secondary market for the year ended December 31, 2009. The
sale of one-to-four family mortgage loans totaled $276.7 million for the year
ended December 31, 2009 compared to $99.7 million for the year ended December
31, 2008. The increase was attributable to historically low interest
rates for 30-year fixed rate loans and government incentive programs such as the
$8,000 tax credit for first time home buyers, which increased refinancing
activity, and may not be sustainable. In 2008, loan sales in the
secondary market were slow due to the deteriorating housing market, tightening
of underwriting criteria and home price depreciation both nationally and in our
local market areas. Management expects gains on sale of loans to decrease
slightly in 2010 from their peak in 2009 due to the expiration of many of the
government incentive programs, thereby reducing refinancing activity, which may
be only partially offset by any home price and real estate market
stabilization.
Net
losses on the sale of OREO totaled $1,418,000 for the year ended December 31,
2009. During the fourth quarter of 2009, the Company completed a bulk
sale of 36 improved residential OREO properties for a net sales price of $4.8
million versus a carrying value of $6.2 million. Management felt this
was prudent in view of the one time net operating loss five year carry-back rule
that was applicable in 2009 for tax purposes, the improved credit quality of the
balance sheet that resulted, and the cost savings resulting from the elimination
of burdensome operating and maintenance costs of the properties, including
taxes, insurance, and home-owner dues. In 2008, net gain on sale of
OREO included the sale of one commercial lot located in Whatcom County,
Washington for a gain of $390,000.
Income
from other sources totaled $2,156,000 in 2009, an increase of $492,000 from
2008, or 29.6%, due primarily to the gain on sale investment securities of
$484,000 and increases in visa debit card interchange revenue and miscellaneous
fees on loans held for sale, which was partially offset by a decrease in
earnings on BOLI from a lower earnings credit rate caused by a decline in
interest rates. Income from other sources in 2008 increased $667,000,
or 66.9%, to $1,664,000 as the result of $5,000,000 in additional BOLI policies
purchased in the fourth quarter of 2007 and the gain on sale of the Everson
branch facility of $336,000.

Non-Interest
Expense. Total
non-interest expense in 2009 was $29,691,000, an increase of $8,100,000, or
37.5%, compared to $21,591,000 in 2008. In 2008, non-interest expense
increased $1,212,000, or 5.9%, compared to $20,379,000 in 2007. The
increase in 2009 was primarily attributable to increases in FDIC insurance
assessments, OREO write-downs and salaries and employee benefits (including
commissions). The increase in 2008 was due to increases in expenses
for occupancy, data processing and professional services.
Changes
in non-interest expense are discussed in greater detail below.

Salary
and employee benefits, the largest component of non-interest expense, increased
by $1,177,000, or 9.5%, in 2009 to $13,558,000 and increased by $101,000, or
0.8%, in 2008 compared to 2007. The increase in 2009 was due
primarily to increases in commissions paid on the sale of loans held for sale
which was partially offset by a reduction in workforce. Commission
expense for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007 totaled $2,007,000,
$633,000 and $536,000, respectively. In January 2009 the Bank
completed a reduction in force of 13 full-time equivalent
positions. In the weeks leading up to the strategic staffing
reduction, other positions were not filled when vacated. Full time
equivalent employees at December 31, 2009 were 218 compared to 220 at December
31, 2008. The reduction in force was offset by an increase in
commissioned mortgage lenders and processing staff in order to support the
growth in volume of loans sold in the secondary market during the
year. Also included in salaries and benefits for 2009 and 2008 was
stock compensation expense of $54,000 and $87,000, respectively. For
more information regarding stock options, see Note 15 - "Stock Options" to the
Company's audited financial statements included in Item 15 of this
report.
Occupancy
and equipment expenses decreased $76,000 to $2,779,000 in 2009 compared with
$2,855,000 for 2008 due primarily to the consolidation of two branches, one in
October 2008 (Everson) and the other in April 2009 (Birch
Bay). Occupancy and equipment expenses increased $327,000, or 12.9%,
for 2008 compared to 2007 due to increased costs associated with the relocation
of two branches (Hannegan and Ferndale) which were relocated from leased
facilities to owned buildings in order to offer more amenities and full scale
drive-up facilities.
Marketing
and advertising expense decreased 25.2% to $395,000 in 2009 compared with
$528,000 for 2008 due to an ongoing effort to reduce controllable
expenses. The decrease of $32,000 in 2008 was also part of overall
budget tightening.
-28-
Data
processing expense increased 63.1% to $1,246,000 in 2009 compared with $764,000
for 2008. In order to improve technology capabilities, processing
time and efficiency, management successfully upgraded its online banking system
in 2009. As a result, the Company incurred contract termination and
de-conversion charges of $162,000 in order to terminate the contract with the
previous vender. In conjunction with the new online banking system,
the Company also re-designed its website. Additionally, during 2009
the Company added remote check deposit services for commercial
customers. The increase in 2008 is mostly attributable to the
conversion of its core operating system from an in-house environment to a
service bureau, as well as implementation of an automated wire platform, and the
establishment of a backup site for data processing redundancy. The
Company will continue to invest in new technology when necessary in order to
support future growth.
FDIC
assessment expense increased 742.1% to $1,802,000 in 2009 compared with $214,000
in 2008. The increase is attributable to a special assessment imposed
by the FDIC on all insured depository institutions during the second quarter of
$306,000, as well as increases in assessment rates effective April 1,
2009.
The
increase in OREO write-downs and related operating expenses were the result of
an increase in the number of OREO properties held and an increase in foreclosure
activity during 2009. OREO write-downs were also adversely affected
by a sharp decline in real estate values in the market areas we
serve.
Other
operating expense increased 28.3% to $4,577,000 in 2009 compared with $3,567,000
for 2008, primarily due to increases in loan collection expense, loan
origination expense, and directors and officer insurance, each of which were up
$195,000, $257,000 and $140,000, respectively. Other operating
expenses decreased 0.1% to $3,567,000 in 2008 compared to 2007.
The
reduction in force and consolidation of two branches, combined with an ongoing
effort to reduce non-interest expense has reduced net overhead (excluding OREO
related items) from 2.88% at December 31, 2008 to 2.58% at December 31,
2009. Net overhead is defined as non-interest expense minus
non-interest income divided by average assets.
Income
Tax Expense (Benefit). For the years
ended December 31, 2009, 2008, and 2007, the provision (benefit) for income
taxes was ($4,519,000), $(561,000) and $2,086,000, respectively, representing
effective tax (benefit) rate of (41.6%), (143.8)% and 25.7%,
respectively. The effective tax rate differs from the statutory rate
of 34.4% and has exhibited a declining trend over the past three
years. During 2009 and 2008, the Company's tax exempt income
represented an increasing share of income as investments in municipal securities
and loans, income earned on BOLI, and tax credits received on investments in low
income housing partnerships remained at historical levels, while other earnings
declined sharply.
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. At December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company had a net
deferred tax asset of $3,311,000 and $1,340,000, respectively.

Cash
and Cash Equivalents
Total
cash and cash equivalents increased to $52,904,000 at December 31, 2009, from
$17,539,000 at December 31, 2008. This increase is reflective of management's
strategy to strengthen on-balance sheet liquidity to take advantage of business
opportunities within our markets. In addition, the Company received
net proceeds of $12.3 million in a private placement of common stock during
2009. It is anticipated that cash and cash equivalents will shrink somewhat in
2010 in an effort to reduced brokered certificates of deposits and enhance the
yield on the Company's liquid earning assets as opportunities
arise.
Investment
Portfolio
The
investment portfolio provides the Company with an income alternative to
loans. The Company's investment securities portfolio increased
$5,247,000, or 9.4%, during 2009 to $61,126,000. This growth in the
available-for-sale portion of its portfolio is mostly attributable to an
investment in a money market mutual fund of $5 million as an alternative to
federal funds sold. The Company's investment securities portfolio
increased $8,638,000, or 18.3%, during 2008 to $55,879,000 from $47,241,000 at
year end 2007 as part of a leveraging strategy in response to the FOMC's
continued interest rate cuts. The increase in the portfolio was
funded through FHLB advances.
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 whether it intends to sell the
security and if it does not intend to sale the security, whether it is more
likely than not it will be required to sell the security before recovery of its
amortized cost basis. The Company also considers cash flow analysis
for mortgage-backed securities under various prepayment, default, and loss
severity scenarios in determining whether a mortgage-backed security is other
than temporarily impaired. At December 31, 2009, the Company owned
eleven securities in a continuous unrealized loss position for twelve months or
longer, with a carrying value of $12.5 million and fair value of $10.4
million. These securities that have been in a continuous unrealized
loss position for twelve months or longer at December 31, 2009, had investment
grade ratings upon purchase. Following its evaluation of factors
deemed relevant, management determined, in part because the Company does not
have the intent to sell these securities and it is not more likely than not that
it will have to sell the securities before recovery of cost basis, which may be
at maturity, the Company does not have any other than temporarily impaired
securities at December 31, 2009. For more information regarding our
investment securities and analysis of the value of securities in our investment
portfolio, see Note 3 - "Securities" and Note 17 – "Fair Value of Financial
Instruments" to the Company's audited financial statements included in Item 15
of this report.
The
carrying values of investment securities at December 31 in each of the last
three years are as follows:

Loan
Portfolio
General. Total
loans were $494,635,000 at December, 2009, a decrease of $3,169,000 or 0.6%,
compared to December 31, 2008. The reduction in total loans was
driven primarily by decreases in construction and land development loans of
$35,913,000 through a combination of loan payoffs and pay-downs as well as loan
charge-offs and transfers to OREO. This reduction is a reflection of
management's strategy to shrink the loan portfolio in this category and also in
part due to the significant weakness in the residential housing market in our
market areas. The decrease in construction and land development loans
was partially offset by increases in residential real estate, commercial real
estate and farmland loans.

The
Company's strategy is to originate loans primarily in its local
markets. Depending on the purpose of the loan, loans may be secured
by a variety of collateral, including real estate, business assets, and personal
assets. Loans, including loans held for sale, represented 74% of
total assets as of December 31, 2009, compared to 80% at December 31,
2008. The majority of the Company's loan portfolio is comprised of
commercial and agricultural loans (commercial loans) and real estate
loans. The commercial and agricultural 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
majority of recent growth in our overall loan portfolio has arisen out of the
commercial real estate loan category, which constitutes 41% of our loan
portfolio. Our commercial real estate portfolio generally consists of
a wide cross-section of retail, small office, warehouse, and industrial type
properties. Loan to value ratios for the Company's commercial real
estate loans generally did not exceed 75% at origination and debt service ratios
were 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 in a downturn in the
commercial real estate market. Additionally, this is a sector in
which we have significant and long-term management experience. It is
our strategic plan to emphasize growth in commercial and small business loans
and owner occupied commercial real estate loans. We believe this will
be a key contributor to growing low cost deposits.
Real
estate construction and land development loans have been significant in our loan
portfolio and have been an important source of interest income and
fees. Conditions in the construction and land development arena in
our market areas remain strained, resulting in elevated delinquencies and
foreclosures in this portion of our portfolio, which have contributed to the
increased provision for credit losses for 2009 and, to a lesser extent,
2008.
-32-
Beginning
in late 2006 the Company 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. Additionally, during 2008, the Company put in place further
restrictions on loans secured by all types of real estate properties, including
home equity lines of credit and land and land development loans, and tightened
underwriting policies on hospitality projects. In 2009, the Bank
implemented further restrictions on non-owner occupied commercial real estate
loans in order to reduce our concentration in this sector. The Bank
is not engaging in new land acquisition and development
financing. Limited residential speculative construction financing is
provided for a very select and small group of borrowers, which is designed to
augment exit from the related credits. During 2009, it was the
Company's strategic objective to reduce concentrations in land and residential
construction and total commercial real estate below the regulatory hurdles of
100% and 300% of risk based capital, respectively. As of December 31,
2009, concentrations in land and residential construction loans represented
87.8% of risk based capital and total commercial real estate represented 264.9%
of risk based capital. It is our objective for 2010 to continue to
reduce concentrations in land and residential construction below 75% and total
commercial real estate below 250%.

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 OREO. 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.
Non-performing
assets totaled $22,859,000 at December 31, 2009. This represents
3.42% of total assets, compared to $23,760,000, or 3.80%, at December 31,
2008, and $6,411,000, or 1.13%, at December 31, 2007. Construction
and land development loans, including related OREO balances, continue to be the
primary component of non-performing assets, representing $13,674,000, or 59.8%,
of non-performing assets. Loans past due ninety days or more and
still accruing interest of $547,000, $2,274,000 and $2,932,000 at December 31,
2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively, were made up entirely of loans that were
fully guaranteed by the United States Department of Agriculture or Small
Business Administration.

The small
decrease in non-performing assets reflects the continued weakness in the housing
industry and current economic recession. The Company continues to
aggressively monitor and identify non-performing assets and take action based
upon updated market information. Non-performing loans totaled
$16,194,000 at December 31, 2009, a decrease of $756,000 as compared to
$16,950,000 at December 31, 2008. The balance of non-performing loans
at year end is equal to 3.36% of total loans including loans held for, compared
to 3.49% at December 31, 2008. The decrease in 2009 was primarily
related to decreases in non-performing construction and land development loans
which were partially offset by increases in non-performing residential real
estate 1-4 family loans and commercial real estate loans. The
increase in non-accrual loans during 2008 was primarily related to
non-performing construction and land development loans. Of the
non-performing loans at year end 2006 and 2005, $5,603,000 and $5,817,000
related to one borrower involved in the forest products industry. The
improvement in non-accrual loans in 2007 resulted from the resolution of this
loan. The totals are net of charge-offs based on the difference
between carrying value on our books and management's estimate of fair market
value after taking into account the result of appraisals and other
factors.
-34-
Interest
income on non-accrual loans that would have been recorded had those loans
performed in accordance with their initial terms was $1,659,000, $1,090,000, and
$270,000 for 2009, 2008, and 2007, respectively. Interest income
recognized on impaired loans was $444,000, $34,000, and $457,000 for 2009, 2008,
and 2007, respectively.
Given the
trend of rapidly declining residential real estate values, the Company
reevaluated several non-performing real estate loans and all OREO assets during
the year ended December 31, 2009. As a result of these appraisals and
other factors, the Company recorded charge-offs of $6,524,000 and OREO
write-downs of $3,689,000 during the period. The Company will
continue to reevaluate non-performing assets over the coming months as market
conditions change. Currently, it is our practice to obtain new
appraisals on non-performing collateral dependent loans and/or OREO every six to
nine months. Based upon the appraisal review for non-performing
loans, the Company will record the loan at the lower of cost or market (less
costs to sell) by recording a charge-off to the allowance for credit losses or
by designating a specific reserve per accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States. Generally, the Company will record the
charge-off rather than designate a specific reserve. As a result, the
carrying amount of non-performing loans may not exceed the value of the
underlying collateral. This process enables the Company to adequately
reserve for non-performing loans within the allowance for credit
losses.
OREO at
December 31, 2009 totaled $6,665,000 and includes: eight land or land
development projects totaling $3,728,000, two residential construction
properties totaling $1,122,000, , one single family residence totaling $220,000
and four commercial real estate buildings valued at $1,595,000. The balances are
recorded at the estimated net realizable value less selling
costs. During the three months December 2009, the Company completed a
bulk sale of 36 improved residential OREO properties for a net sales price of
$4.8 million versus a carrying value of $6.2 million.
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, 2009, loans secured by real
estate totaled $393,246,000, which represents 79.5% of the total loan
portfolio. Real estate construction loans comprised $64,812,000 of
that amount, while real estate loans secured by residential properties totaled
$91,821,000. As a result of these concentrations of loans, the loan
portfolio is susceptible to deteriorating economic and market conditions in the
Company's market areas. The Company generally requires collateral on
all real estate exposures and typically originates loans at loan-to-value ratios
at loan origination 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
probable 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 of available evidence, 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 review, at a minimum of
quarterly or more frequently as considered necessary, of all loans judged to
present a possibility of loss (if, as a result of such monthly review, 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. See "Risk Factors" above for a discussion of certain risks
faced by the Company.
-35-
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.
Transactions
in the allowance for credit losses for the years ended December 31 are as

During
the year ended December 31, 2009, provision for credit losses totaled $9,944,000
compared to $4,791,000 and $482,000 for the same periods in 2008 and 2007,
respectively. While non-performing assets decreased slightly in 2009,
provision for credit losses increased as the result of increases in net
charge-offs as demonstrated in the table above, which therefore increased the
Company’s historical loss experience and loan loss rates. The
increase in provision for credit losses in the current year was also impacted by
an increase in classified loans, primarily within our land acquisition and
development and residential construction loan portfolios. During the
year ended December 31, 2009, the Company increased loss rates specifically on
land acquisition and development by 4% from 3.50% to 7.50% and speculative
residential construction by 7.25% from 3.75% to 11.00% based upon increased
charge-offs in these categories within the last twelve to eighteen
months. The increase in provision for credit losses in 2008 was also
due to changes in loan loss rates and the increase in classified loans although
to a lesser degree. In addition, we continue to experience elevated
levels of delinquent and nonperforming loans. The increasing risk
profile of the Company's land acquisition and development portfolio reflects
unfavorable conditions in the residential real estate market that have affected
the ability of home builders and developers to repay loans due to reduced cash
flows from sluggish sales. In addition, the value of collateral for
many of these loans has declined and the market is significantly less
liquid.
-36-
For the
year ended December 31, 2009, net charge-offs were $6,475,000 compared to
$2,175,000 for the same period in 2008. Net charge-offs continue to
be centered in the residential construction and land development portfolios,
which accounted for $4,687,000 of total net charge-offs for the
year. Net recoveries for the twelve months ended December 31, 2007
were $492,000 which included a single recovery of $619,000 on a $1,925,000
charge-off in 2006 attributable to one commercial borrower.
The
allowance for credit losses was $11,092,000 at year-end 2009, compared with
$7,623,000 at year-end 2008, an increase of $3,469,000, or 45.5%. The
increase from December 31, 2008 is attributable to additional provision for
credit losses arising out of increases in loan loss rates, adversely classified
loans and an increase in the unallocated portion of the allowance due to the
volatility in the real estate market, and is reflective of the depressed and
deteriorating economic conditions in our markets. The increase in
2008 was also attributable to additional credit loss provision and deteriorating
economic conditions in our markets. The increase in 2007 was due to
increased recoveries and provision expense.
The ratio
of the allowance for credit losses to total loans outstanding (including loans
held for sale) was 2.30%, 1.57% and 1.14%, at December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007,
respectively. The Company's loan portfolio contains a significant
portion of government guaranteed loans which are fully guaranteed by the United
States Government. Government guaranteed loans were $50,548,000 and
$49,934,000 at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The ratio of
allowance for credit losses to total loans outstanding excluding the government
guaranteed loans was 2.50% and 1.70%, respectively.
While
credit quality continues to be problematic due to the prolonged downturn in the
economy and unfavorable conditions in the residential real estate market, the
Company believes that non-performing assets hit their peak at June 30, 2009 and
have begun to show signs of improvement. Credit quality indicators
for the trailing 4 quarters are shown below:

Estimated
loss factors used in the allowance for credit loss analysis are established
based on historic charge-off data by loan category adjusted for current economic
conditions and other available factors. During the years ended
December 31, 2009 and 2008, 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. 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,
2009, management believes the allowance for credit losses of $11,092,000 is
adequate to provide for probable losses in our loan portfolio based on an
evaluation of known and inherent risks in the loan portfolio at that date and
the application of applicable accounting standards.

See
“Critical Accounting Policies” in this section below, as well as “Risk Factors”
under Item 1A. above.
The
Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) has issued accounting guidance
relating to 1) accounting by creditors for impairment of a loan and 2)
accounting by creditors for impairment of a loan for income recognition
disclosures. 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.
The
following table summarizes the Bank's impaired loans at December
31:

No

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 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 $2,366,000 in the allowance related to real estate
loans from December 31, 2008 to December 31, 2009 and the addition of an
unallocated reserve of $1,183,000. The primary reason for the
increases and changes in percentage allocations are due to the deterioration in
the housing market in our market areas, as well as an increase in the loan loss
rates relative to real estate loans.

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, 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 to continue for the
foreseeable future.

Total
deposits increased 11.0% to $567.7 million at December 31, 2009 compared to
$511.3 million at December 31, 2008. Non-interest bearing demand
deposits increased $5,980,000, or 7.5%, due to a shift by customers into
non-interest bearing accounts in order to participate in the
TAGP. Interest bearing demand deposits increased $23,855,000, or
35.0%, due to the continued success of Dream Checking, a high-yield retail
checking account which was introduced in 2008 to attract new
deposits. The Dream Checking account pays a high rate of interest
upon meeting certain electronic requirements such as debit card and automated
clearing house transactions. The balances in Dream Checking accounts
totaled $30.5 million and $15.3 million at December 31, 2009 and 2008,
respectively. Money market accounts decreased $6,956,000, or 7.5%,
primarily due to decreased balances from escrow and title companies which have
significantly reduced balances due to the sluggish real estate
market. Time deposits increased $34,404,000, or 15.8%, due to a
combination of increases in retail deposits of $30,751,000 and increases in
brokered deposits of $25,631,000, which were partially offset by a decrease in
public time deposits of $21,978,000. The increase in retail deposits
is mostly attributable to increased brand awareness in the Whatcom County
market, and our commitment to maintain a disciplined deposit strategy, focusing
on enhancing long-term customer relationships. Additionally, recent
adverse press relating to banks in our market facing regulatory orders and
increasing bank failures in the state of Washington have contributed to growth
in retail deposits.
Brokered
deposits totaled $60,936,000 and $35,305,000 at December 31, 2009 and 2008,
respectively. The increase in brokered deposits was primarily to
replace maturing public deposits totaling $21,978,000 that have become less
attractive due to regulatory pledging requirements and to further strengthen
on-balance sheet liquidity to take advantage of business opportunities within
our markets. Due to the successful growth in retail deposits and
current excess liquidity, the Company presently intends to roll off brokered
deposits as they come due as follows: $36,716,000 – 2010; and
$24,220,000 - 2011. Changes in the market or new regulatory
restrictions could limit our ability to maintain or acquire brokered deposits in
the future.
-39-
The ratio
of non-interest bearing deposits to total deposits was 15.2%, 15.7% and 18.6% at
December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. It is the Company's
strategic objective to grow non-interest bearing deposit balances in 2010
through increased calling efforts and continued focus on customer service and a
strong core deposit base. To further attract deposits, the Company
has increased its emphasis on and expanded electronic
services. During the fourth quarter of 2008, the Company began
offering remote deposit captures services and in 2009 migrated to a new online
banking platform. During 2010, the Company intends to further enhance
electronic services to include e-delivery and mobile banking.

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

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 evaluate whether adequate funds are and will be
available at all times, the Company monitors and projects the amount of funds
required on a daily basis. The Bank's primary source of liquidity is
deposits from its customer base, which has historically provided a stable source
of "core" demand and consumer deposits. Other sources of liquidity
are available, including borrowings from the Federal Reserve Bank, the FHLB and
from 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 for its known and
reasonably foreseeable liquidity requirements, consisting of cash and amounts
due from banks, interest bearing deposits 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,
brokered deposits, government sponsored programs, 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, changes to government
insurance programs, and competition. Competition for deposits is
presently quite intense, even in our traditional markets of operations in
Western Washington, making deposit retention challenging and new deposit growth
quite difficult. Reductions in deposits could adversely affect the
Company's financial condition, results of operations, and
liquidity. See "Risk Factors" under Item 1A. above.
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. Long-term borrowings at December 31, 2009 and 2008 represent
advances from the FHLB of Seattle. Advances at December 31, 2009 bear
interest at 2.94% to 4.12% and mature in various years as follows: 2011 -
$10,500,000; 2012 - $5,000,000 and 2013 - $5,500,000. The Bank has
pledged $129.5 million of loans as collateral for these borrowings at December
31, 2009. Based on pledged collateral, at December 31, 2009, the Bank
had $104 million of available borrowing capacity on its line at the FHLB,
although each advance is subject to prior consent. The Bank also has
a borrowing facility of $30.9 million at the Federal Reserve Bank, of which none
was used at December 31, 2009. The bank has pledged $67.4 million of
loans as collateral to the Federal Reserve Bank.
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. Dividends from the Bank are the holding Company's most
important source of funds, and are subject to regulatory restrictions and the
capital needs of the Bank, which are always primary. Sales of trust
preferred securities have historically also been a source of liquidity for the
holding company and capital for both the holding company and the
Bank. We do not anticipate trust preferred securities will be a
source of liquidity in 2010 due to market conditions.
At
December 31, 2009, two wholly-owned subsidiary grantor trusts established by the
Company had issued and outstanding $13,403,000 of trust preferred
securities. During 2009, the Company elected to exercise the right to
defer interest payments on trust preferred debentures. Under the
terms of the indenture, the Company has the right to defer interest payments for
up to twenty consecutive quarterly periods without going in to
default. During the period of deferral, the principal balance and
unpaid interest will continue to bear interest as set forth in the
indenture. In addition, the Company will not be permitted to pay any
dividends or distributions on, or redeem or make a liquidation payment with
respect to, any of the Company's common stock during the deferral
period. As of December 31, 2009, deferred interest totaled $403,000
and is included in accrued interest payable on the balance sheet.
-42-
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. See our condensed consolidated
financial statements and related notes included in Item 15 of this report,
including Note 9 – "Junior Subordinated Debentures".
Capital. 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 was
$57,649,000 at December 31, 2009, an increase of $7,575,000, or 15.1%, compared
to December 31, 2008. The increase is attributable to private
offering of common stock and warrants completed during 2009, which was partially
offset by a net loss for the year ended December 31, 2009. For more
information regarding the $12.4 million offering completed during 2009, see
Note 20 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in
this report. Total shareholders' equity averaged $54,512,000 in 2009,
which includes $11,282,000 of goodwill associated with the BNW
acquisition. Shareholders' equity averaged $51,974,000 in 2008,
compared to $52,634,000 in 2007.
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 or actions of regulators.
The
Federal Reserve has established guidelines for 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" at the close of each of the past three years.
The
following table sets forth the minimum required capital ratios and actual ratios
for December 31, 2009 and 2008.

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 15 of this
report.
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.
Allowance
for Credit Losses
The
Company's allowance for credit losses 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 for impairment no less than annually. The Company has one
reporting unit, the Bank, for purposes of computing goodwill. 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 analysis of potential impairment of goodwill requires a
two-step process. The first step is the estimation of fair value. If step one
indicates that impairment potentially exists, the second step is performed to
measure the amount of impairment, if any. Goodwill impairment exists when the
estimated fair value of goodwill is less than its carrying value.
-44-
During
the quarter ended December 31, 2009, based on a combination of factors,
including the current economic environment and a decline in our market
capitalization, we concluded that indicators exist that it is more likely than
not that the fair value of the Bank has declined below its book value that
required us to perform an interim goodwill impairment analysis. For the purposes
of this analysis, our estimates of fair value are based on a combination of the
income approach, which estimates the fair value of our reporting unit based on
the future discounted cash flows, and the market approach, which estimates the
fair value of our reporting unit based on comparable market prices. Based on our
preliminary estimates of fair value of our reporting unit, we believe it is more
likely than not that the fair value will be less than the book value requiring
us to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment analysis. As of the
date of this filing, we have not completed this Step 2 analysis due to the
complexities involved in determining the implied fair value of the goodwill for
the reporting unit. However, based on the work performed to date, we do not
believe that an impairment loss is probable. We expect to finalize
our goodwill impairment analysis during the first quarter of 2010 and the
results thereof will be disclosed in the first quarter financial
statements. No assurance can be given that the Company will
not record an impairment loss on goodwill in the future.
Investment
Valuation and Other-Than-Temporary-Impairment
The
Company records investments in securities available-for-sale at fair value and
securities held-to-maturity at amortized cost. Fair value is
determined based on 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. Declines in fair
value below amortized cost are reviewed to determine if they are other than
temporary. If the decline in fair value is judged to be other than
temporary, the impairment loss is charged to earnings. Factors
considered in evaluating whether a decline in value is other than temporary
include: (1) the length of time and extent to which the fair value has been less
than amortized cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospectus of the
issuer, and (3) the intent and ability of the Company to retain the investment
for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair
value. The Company regularly reviews its investment portfolio to
determine whether any of its securities are other-than-temporarily
impaired.
Valuation
of OREO
Real
estate properties acquired through foreclosure or by deed-in-lieu of foreclosure
(OREO) are recorded at the lower of cost or fair value less estimated costs to
sell. Fair value is generally determined by management based on a number of
factors, including third-party appraisals of fair value in an orderly sale.
Accordingly, the valuation of OREO is subject to significant external and
internal judgment. Any differences between management's assessment of fair
value, less estimated costs to sell, and the carrying value of the loan at the
date a particular property is transferred into OREO are charged to the allowance
for credit losses. Management periodically reviews OREO values to determine
whether the property continues to be carried at the lower of its recorded book
value or fair value, net of estimated costs to sell. Any further decreases in
the value of OREO are considered valuation adjustments and trigger a
corresponding charge to non-interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of
Income. Expenses from the maintenance and operations of OREO are included in
other non-interest expense.
-45-
Income
Taxes
Deferred
tax assets and liabilities result from differences between the financial
statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities, and are
reflected at currently enacted income taxes rates applicable to the period in
which the deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be realized or
settled.
The
Company had net deferred tax assets (“DTAs”) of $3,311,000 at December 31, 2009,
compared to $1,340,000 at December 31, 2008. The most significant
portions of the deductible temporary differences relate to the allowance for
credit losses and fair value adjustments or impairment write-downs related to
OREO. As of December 31, 2009, the Company believes that it is more
likely than not that it will be able to fully realize its DTA and therefore has
not recorded a valuation allowance.
Assessing
the need for, and the amount of, a valuation allowance requires significant
judgment and analysis of both positive and negative evidence regarding
realization of the DTA. The realization of the DTA is dependent upon
the Company generating a sufficient level of taxable income in future periods,
which can be difficult to predict. If future taxable income should
prove non-existent or less than the amount of temporary differences giving rise
to the net DTAs within the tax years to which they may be applied, the assets
will not be realized and net income will be reduced. An extended
period of losses could result in the Company establishing a valuation allowance
against its DTA. The establishment of a valuation allowance would be
accounted for as a charge against income and would affect the Company’s ability
to recognize tax benefits on future losses.
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.
The
following table shows the dollar amount of interest sensitive assets and
interest sensitive liabilities at December 31, 2009 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.

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

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, 2009. 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, 2009, 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 Shareholders 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, 2009, 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.
-48-
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, 2009, 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, 2009 of the Company and our report dated
March 22, 2010 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial
statements.

REPORT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the
Board of Directors and Shareholders 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, 2009 and 2008, and
the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders’ equity, and cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31,
2009. 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, 2009 and 2008, and the results of their operations and their cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2009, 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, 2009, based on the criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated
Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the
Treadway Commission and our report dated March 22, 2010 expressed an unqualified
opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

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, 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, and therefore, are not consolidated in the Company’s financial
statements. The Company was incorporated in the State of Washington on February
12, 1997, pursuant to a holding company reorganization of the Bank.
Nature
of Operations
The
Company is a holding company which operates primarily through its subsidiary
bank. The Bank operates 16 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 the north coast of
Oregon.
In 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, the valuation of deferred tax assets, the valuation of
investments, and the evaluation of goodwill and investments for
impairment.
Certain
prior year amounts for FDIC assessments and other real estate owned write-downs
and operating costs have been reclassified as their own financial statement line
item to conform to the 2009 presentation with no change to net income or
shareholders’ equity previously reported.
Management
has evaluated events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date
of December 31, 2009, and do not believe there are any material subsequent
events other than those disclosed that require further disclosure.
Stock
Dividend
On
December 31, 2008, the Company declared a 1.1 to 1 stock split in the form of a
10% stock dividend, payable to shareholders on January 13, 2009. Each
shareholder of record received one additional share for every ten shares
owned. All per share amounts (including stock options) in the
consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes were restated to
reflect the split.

Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements, Dollars in Thousands Except Per Share
Amounts
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. 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
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.
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 that are deemed to be other than temporary are reflected in earnings when
identified. Management evaluates individual securities for other than
temporary impairment (“OTTI”) on a quarterly basis. In accordance
with accounting guidance, OTTI is separated into a credit and noncredit
component. Noncredit component losses are recorded in other
comprehensive (loss) when the Company a) does not intend to sell the security or
b) is not more likely than not it will be required to sell the security prior to
the security’s anticipated recovery. Credit component losses are
reported in non-interest income.
Federal
Home Loan Bank Stock
The
Company’s investment in Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) stock is carried at par
value. The Company is required to maintain a minimum level of
investment in FHLB stock based on specific percentages of its outstanding
mortgages, total assets or FHLB advances.
The
Company views its investment in the FHLB stock as a long-term
investment. As of December 31, 2009, the FHLB of Seattle reported
that it had met all of its regulatory capital requirements, but remained
classified as “under capitalized” by its regulator, the Federal Housing Finance
Agency. The FHLB will not pay a dividend or repurchase capital stock
while it is deemed under capitalized. While the FHLB was classified
as undercapitalized as of December 31, 2009, the Company does not believe that
its investment in the FHLB is impaired. However, this estimate could
change in the near term if: 1) significant other-than-temporary losses are
incurred on the FHLB’s mortgage-backed securities causing a significant decline
in its regulatory capital status; 2) the economic losses resulting from credit
deterioration on the FHLB’s mortgage-backed securities increases significantly;
or 3) capital preservation strategies being utilized by the FHLB become
ineffective.

loans originated for sale in the foreseeable future in the secondary market are
carried at the lower of aggregate cost or estimated fair
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. Net unrealized losses are
recognized through a valuation allowance established by charges to
income. Loans held for sale that are unable to be sold in the
secondary market are transferred to loans receivable when
identified.

Loans Receivable
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, 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 probable 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 collectability 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 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.
A loan is
considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is
probable the Company will be unable to collect principal and 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 less
estimated selling costs if the loan is collateral dependent. Large
groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for
impairment. When the measurement of an impaired loan is less than the
book value of the loan, impairment is recognized by adjusting the allowance for
credit losses. Uncollected accrued interest is reversed against
interest income. If ultimate collection of principal is in doubt, all
subsequent cash receipts including interest payments on impaired loans are
applied to reduce the principal balance.

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.
Other
Real Estate Owned
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 (“OREO”) 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
write-downs 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, 2009 the Company had $12,727 in goodwill and other intangible
assets. 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 for impairment no less than
annually. The Company has one reporting unit, the Bank, for purposes
of computing goodwill. 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 analysis of
potential impairment of goodwill requires a two-step process. The first step is
the estimation of fair value. If step one indicates that impairment potentially
exists, the second step is performed to measure the amount of impairment, if
any. Goodwill impairment exists when the estimated fair value of goodwill is
less than its carrying value. The results of the Company’s annual second
quarter step one test indicated that the reporting unit’s fair value exceeded
its carrying value and no goodwill impairment existed.
During
the quarter ended December 31, 2009, based on a combination of factors,
including the current economic environment and a decline in our market
capitalization, we concluded that indicators exist that it is more likely than
not that the fair value of the Bank has declined below its book value that
required us to perform an interim goodwill impairment analysis. For the purposes
of this analysis, our estimates of fair value are based on a combination of the
income approach, which estimates the fair value of our reporting unit based on
the future discounted cash flows, and the market approach, which estimates the
fair value of our reporting unit based on comparable market prices. Based on our
preliminary estimates of fair value of our reporting unit, we believe it is more
likely than not that the fair value will be less than the book value requiring
us to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment analysis. As of the
date of this filing, we have not completed this Step 2 analysis due to the
complexities involved in determining the implied fair value of the goodwill for
the reporting unit. However, based on the work performed to date, we do not
believe that an impairment loss is probable. We expect to finalize
our goodwill impairment analysis during the first quarter of 2010 and the
results thereof will be disclosed in the first quarter financial
statements. No assurance can be given that the Company will not
record an impairment loss on goodwill in the future.
Core
deposit intangibles are amortized to non-interest expense using a straight line
method over seven years. Net unamortized core deposit intangible
totaled $177 and $319 at December 31, 2009 and 2008,
respectively. Amortization expense related to core deposit intangible
totaled $142 during each of the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008, and
2007. Amortization expense for the core deposit intangible for future
years is estimated as follows: 2010 - $142 and 2011 -
$35.

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, including cash, investment securities, loans and loans held
for sale, 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.
In June
2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued authoritative
accounting literature that prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement
attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax
position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. As of
December 31, 2009, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits. The
Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties on unrecognized tax
benefits in “Income Taxes (Benefit)” in the consolidated statements of
income. There were no amounts related to interest and penalties
recognized for the year ended December 31, 2009. The tax years that
remain subject to examination by federal and state taxing authorities are the
years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006.
Stock-Based
Compensation
The
Company accounts for stock based compensation in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America
(“GAAP”). Accounting guidance 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 fair value of stock options is determined using the
Black-Scholes valuation model, which is consistent with the Company’s valuation
methodology previously utilized for options in footnote
disclosures. The Company’s stock compensation plans are described
more fully in Note 15.

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 820,837, 504,988 and
235,070 in 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Outstanding warrants
also excluded were 699,642, 0, and 0 in 2009, 2008 and 2007,
respectively.
Comprehensive
Income
GAAP
requires 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 within equity in other accumulated comprehensive loss in 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
Segment
The
Company operates a single business segment. The financial information
that is used by the chief operating decision maker in allocating resources and

Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
In March
2008, the FASB issued guidance on disclosures about derivative instruments and
hedging activities, which 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. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2008. Adoption of the guidance did not have a material
impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In April
2009, the FASB issued the following rules to provide additional guidance and
enhance disclosures regarding fair value measurements and impairment of
securities.
·
|
Interim
disclosures about the fair value of financial instruments which require an
entity to provide disclosures about fair values of financial instruments
in interim financial statements. The guidance is effective for
interim periods ending after June 15, 2009 with early adoption permitted
for periods ending after March 15, 2009. The Company adopted
the guidance as of June 30, 2009 and it did not have a material impact on
the Company’s consolidated financial
statements.

Recognition
and presentation of other-than-temporary impairments which applies to
investments in debt securities for which other-than-temporary impairments
may be recorded. If any entity’s management asserts that it
does not have the intent to sell a debt security and it is more likely
than not that it will not have to sell the security before recovery of its
cost basis, then an entity may separate other-than-temporary impairments
into two components: 1) the amount related to credit losses recorded in
earnings, and 2) all other amounts recorded in other comprehensive
income. The guidance is effective for interim periods ending
after June 15, 2009 with early adoption permitted. The Company
adopted the guidance as of June 30, 2009 and it did not have a material
impact on the Company’s consolidated financial
statements.

Determining
fair value when the volume and level of activity for the asset or

are not orderly which provides additional guidance for estimating fair
values and on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not
orderly. The guidance is effective for interim periods ending after June
15, 2009 with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted the
guidance as of June 30, 2009 and it did not have a material impact on the
Company’s consolidated financial

In June
2009, the FASB issued accounting guidance which eliminates exceptions to
consolidating qualifying special-purpose entities, contains new criteria for
determining the primary beneficiary, and increases the frequency of required
reassessments to determine whether a company is the primary beneficiary of a
variable interest entity. The guidance also contains a new requirement that any
term, transaction, or arrangement that does not have a substantive effect on an
entity’s status as a variable interest entity, a company’s power over a variable
interest entity, or a company’s obligation to absorb losses or its right to
receive benefits of an entity must be disregarded. The elimination of the
qualifying special-purpose entity concept and its consolidation exceptions means
more entities will be subject to consolidation assessments and reassessments.
This guidance requires additional disclosures regarding an entity’s involvement
in a variable interest entity. It is effective for annual reporting periods
beginning after November 15, 2009, and for interim periods therein. The
Company does not expect the guidance to have a material effect on the Company’s
consolidated financial statements.
In June
2009, the FASB issued accounting guidance on FASB accounting standards
codification and the hierarchy of generally accepted accounting principles which
requires the FASB accounting standards codification to become the single source
of authoritative U.S. accounting and reporting standards for nongovernmental
entities in addition to the guidance issued by the Securities and Exchange
Commission. The guidance is effective for financial statements issued
for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. It
was effective for the Company as of September 30, 2009 and adoption of the
guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial
statements.

At
December 31, 2009, there were 18 investment securities in an unrealized loss
position, of which 11 were in a continuous loss position for 12 months or
more. The unrealized losses on these securities were caused by
changes in interest rates, widening credit spreads and market illiquidity,
causing a decline in the fair value subsequent to their
purchase. Management monitors published credit ratings on these
securities for adverse changes, and, for MBS, monitors expected future cash
flows to determine whether any loss in principal is anticipated. 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. Based on
management’s evaluation and because the Company does not have the intent to sell
these securities and it is not more likely than not that it will have to sell
the securities before recovery of cost basis, the Company does not consider
these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31,
2009.
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, the Company does not have any
investment in or exposure to collateralized debt obligations or structured
investment vehicles.
The
contractual maturities of investment securities held to maturity and available
for sale at December 31, 2009 are shown below. Investments in
mortgage-backed securities are shown separately as maturities may differ from
contractual maturities because borrowers have the right to call or prepay
obligations, with or without call or prepayment
penalties. Investments in mutual funds are shown separately due to
the short-term nature of the investments and because mutual funds do not have a
stated maturity date.

At
December 31, 2009, there were no commitments to lend additional funds to
borrowers whose loans have been modified. Loans 90 days and over past
due and still accruing interest at December 31, 2009 and 2008 were $547 and
$2,274, respectively, and were made up entirely of loans fully guaranteed by the
United States Department of Agriculture or Small Business

Certain
related parties of the Company, principally directors and their affiliates, were
loan customers of the Bank in the ordinary course of business during 2009 and
2008. Total related party loans outstanding at December 31, 2009 and
2008 to executive officers and directors were $1,579 and $1,146,
respectively. During 2009 and 2008, new loans of $742 and $676,
respectively, were made, and repayments totaled $309 and $753,
respectively. In management’s opinion, these loans and transactions

9 – Junior Subordinated Debentures
At
December 31, 2009, 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 of
trust preferred securities 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 mandatorily 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.

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, 2009 and
2008, respectively, for the common capital securities issued by the issuer
trusts.

Note 9 – Junior Subordinated
Debentures (concluded)
During
the second quarter of 2009, the Company elected to exercise the right to defer
interest payments on its junior subordinated debentures associated with its
pooled trust preferred securities. Under the terms of the indentures,
the Company has the right to defer interest payments for up to twenty
consecutive quarterly periods without going into default. During the
period of deferral, the principal balance and unpaid interest will continue to
bear interest as set forth in the indenture. In addition, the Company
will not be permitted to pay any dividends or distributions on, or redeem or
make a liquidation payment with respect to, any of the Company’s common stock
during the deferral period. As of December 31, 2009, deferred
interest totaled $403 and is included as a component of accrued interest payable
on the balance sheet.

11 - 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 $73, $66, and $943 in 2009, 2008
and 2007, 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 $36, $279 and $398 for 2009, 2008
and 2007, 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 $35, $75 and $145 at
December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, 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
$3,462 and $3,346 at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. In
2009, 2008 and 2007, the net benefit recorded from these plans, including
the cost of the related life insurance, was $362, $353 and $371,
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 $324 and $325
at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Executive
Long-Term Compensation Agreements
During
2008, the Company issued executive long-term compensation agreements to selected
employees that provide incentive for those covered employees to remain employed
with the Company for a defined period of time. The cost of this plan
was $55 and $54 in 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Supplemental
Executive Retirement Plan
Effective
January 1, 2007, the Company adopted a non-qualified 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 $704. The Company has purchased bank
owned life insurance covering all participants in the SERP. The cash
surrender value of these policies totaled $5,342 and $5,229 at December 31, 2009
and 2008, respectively.

12 – 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 participant elections. Under the plan, 1,100,000
shares are authorized for dividend reinvestment, of which 89,771 shares have
been issued through December 31, 2009.
Note
13 - 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

Note 13 - Commitments and
Contingencies (concluded)
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.
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 $11,750, of
which none was used at December 31, 2009. In addition, the Bank has a
credit line with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Seattle totaling 20% of assets,
$25,500 of which was used at December 31, 2009. These borrowings are
collateralized under blanket pledge and custody agreements. The Bank
also has a borrowing arrangement with the Federal Reserve Bank under the
Borrower-in-Custody program. Under this program, the Bank has an
available credit facility of $30,859, subject to pledged
collateral. As of December 31, 2009, loans carried at $67,419 were
pledged as collateral to the Federal Reserve Bank.
The
Company is currently not party to any material pending
litigation. However, because of the nature of its activities, the
Company is subject to various pending and threatened legal actions which may
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
14 - 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.

15 - Stock Options
The
Company’s 2000 stock incentive plan provides for granting incentive stock
options, as defined under current tax laws, to key personnel. The
plan also provides for non-qualified stock options and other types of stock
based awards. The plan authorizes the issuance of up to a total of
1,100,000 shares (131,155 shares are available for grant at December 31,
2009). Under the plan, options either become exercisable ratably over
five years or vest fully five years from the date of grant. Under the
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.

Note
16 - 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 material
adverse 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.

Note 16 - Regulatory Matters
(concluded)
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).
As of
December 31, 2009, 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 presented in the
table below. Management believes, as of December 31, 2009, the
Company and the Bank meet all capital requirements to which they are
subject.

Note
17 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments
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.
Loans,
net and Loans Held for Sale
The fair
value of loans is estimated based on comparable market statistics for loans with
similar credit ratings. An additional liquidity discount is also
incorporated to more closely align the fair value with observed market
prices. Fair value of loans held for sale is based on a discounted
cash flow calculation using interest rates currently available on similar
loans. The fair value was determined based on an aggregate loan
basis.
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.
Short-Term
Borrowings
The fair
value of the Company’s short-term borrowings is estimated using discounted cash
flow analysis based on the Company’s incremental borrowing rates for similar
types of borrowing arrangements.
Long-Term
Borrowings
The fair
value of the Company’s long-term borrowings is estimated using discounted cash
flow analysis based on the Company’s incremental borrowing rates for similar
types of borrowing arrangements.
Junior
Subordinated Debentures
The fair
value of the junior subordinated debentures and trust preferred securities is
estimated using discounted cash flow analysis based on interest rates currently
available for junior subordinated debentures.
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.

Effective
January 1, 2008, the Company adopted accounting guidance on fair value
measurements, 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 corporate debt securities and
mutual funds 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, agency and non-agency securities, state and municipal
securities, mortgage-backed securities, corporate debt securities, and
residential mortgage loans held for sale.
Level 3 –
Valuations 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.

initial recognition such as loans measured for impairment and
OREO. The following methods were used to estimate the fair value of
each such class of financial instrument:

Note 17 - Fair Value of Financial
Instruments (concluded)
Loans held for sale – Loans
held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or market. Loans held
for sale are measured at fair value based on a discounted cash flow calculation
using interest rates currently available on similar loans. The fair
value was determined based on a aggregated loan basis. When a loan is
sold, the gain is recognized in the consolidated statement of income as the
proceeds less the book value of the loan including unamortized fees and
capitalized direct costs.
Impaired loans – A loan is
considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is
probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due (both
interest and principle) according to the contractual terms of the loan
agreement. Impaired loans are measured based on the present value of
expected future cash flows or by the fair market value of the collateral if the
loan is collateral dependent.
Other real estate owned – OREO
is initially recorded at the lower of the carrying amount of the loan or fair
value of the property less estimated costs to sell. This amount
becomes the property’s new basis. Management considers third party
appraisals in determining the fair value of particular
properties. Any write-downs based on the property fair value less
estimated costs to sell at the date of acquisition are charged to the allowance
for credit losses. Management periodically reviews OREO in an effort
to ensure the property is carried at the lower of its new basis or fair value,
net of estimated costs to sell. Any additional write-downs based on
re-evaluation of the property fair value are charged to non-interest
expense.

Cash Flow Statement
Restatement – Subsequent to the issuance of the unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements for the quarter and nine months ended
September 30, 2009, the Company discovered errors in its unaudited Condensed
Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30,
2009 which resulted from including a non-cash transfer of loans from loans held
for sale to loans held for investment as a cash transaction impacting operating
and investing activities. The errors will be corrected prospectively when the
Company files its Form 10-Q for the quarter and nine months ending September 30,
2010. The corrections result in an increase in origination of loans held
for sale and a decrease in net cash provided by operating activities of $943;
and a decrease in loans made to customers, net of principal collections and a
decrease in net cash used in investing activities of $943. The corrections
to the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows do not affect
the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, unaudited
Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, cash and cash equivalents, or
earnings per share.
