Notes
to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
(Dollars
in thousands, except per share amounts)
Note
1 – Basis of Presentation
The
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared by Pacific Financial Corporation ("Pacific" or the "Company") in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America for interim financial information and with instructions to
Form 10-Q. Accordingly, these financial statements do not
include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial
statements. In the opinion of management, adjustments (consisting of
normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been included. Operating results for the six months ended June 30,
2009, are not necessarily indicative of the results anticipated for the year
ending December 31, 2009. Certain information and footnote
disclosures included in the Company's consolidated financial statements for the
year ended December 31, 2008, have been condensed or omitted from this
report. Accordingly, these statements should be read in conjunction
with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
We have
evaluated subsequent events through the date of this filing. We do
not believe there are any material subsequent events other than those disclosed
that require further disclosure.

value. These shares are not included in the table above, as exercise
of these options would not be dilutive to shareholders.

As of
June 30, 2009, the fair value of mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) in the
available-for-sale and held-to-maturity portfolios consists of $11,651 of agency
MBS and $14,530 of non-agency MBS.
At June
30, 2009, there were 34 investment securities in an unrealized loss position, of
which 15 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. 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 June 30, 2009.
Gross
gains realized on sales of securities were $303 and $0 and gross losses realized
were $0 and $0 during the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008,
respectively.
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.

Loans on
which the accrual of interest has been discontinued were $17,171 and $14,676 at
June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. Interest income
foregone on non-accrual loans was $1,602 and $765 during the six months ended
June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
At June
30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company’s recorded investment in certain
loans that were considered to be impaired was $30,775 and $22,117,
respectively. At June 30, 2009, $110 of these impaired loans had a
specific related valuation allowance of $2, while $30,773 did not require a
specific valuation allowance. At December 31, 2008, $462 of these
impaired loans had a specific valuation allowance of $118, while $21,655 did not
require a specific valuation allowance. The balance of the allowance
for loan losses in excess of these specific reserves is available to absorb the
inherent losses from all other loans in the portfolio. The average
investment in impaired loans was $29,882 and $16,915 during the six months ended
June 30, 2009 and the year ended December 31, 2008, respectively. The
related amount of interest income recognized on a cash basis for loans that were
impaired was $237 and $21 during the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008,
respectively. Loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing
interest at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 were $1,778 and $2,274,
respectively, and were made up almost entirely of loans that were fully
guaranteed by the United States Department of Agriculture or Small Business
Administration.
Note
5 – Stock Based Compensation
Effective
January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(“SFAS”) No. 123R, Share-Based
Payment, which requires measurement of compensation cost for all
stock-based awards based on the grant date fair value and recognition of
compensation cost over the service period of stock-based awards. The
Company has adopted SFAS No. 123R using the modified prospective method, which
provides for no restatement of prior periods and no cumulative adjustment to
equity accounts. It also provides for expense recognition for both
new and existing unvested stock-based awards. Stock-based
compensation expense during the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 was $26
and $43 ($17 and $28 net of tax), respectively. Future compensation
expense for unvested awards outstanding as of June 30, 2009 is estimated to be
$75 recognized over a weighted average period of 1.5 years. There
were no options exercised during the six months ended June 30,
2009. Cash received from the exercise of stock options during the six
months ended June 30, 2008 totaled $58. The total intrinsic value of
stock options exercised during the six months ended June 30, 2008 was
$29.
10
The fair
value of stock options granted is determined using the Black-Scholes option
pricing model based on the following assumptions. Expected volatility
is based on historical volatility of the Company’s common stock. The
expected term of stock options granted is based on the simplified method, which
is the simple average between contractual term and vesting
period. The risk-free rate is based on the expected term of stock
options and the applicable U.S. Treasury yield in effect at the time of
grant. There were no options granted during the six months ended June
30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

6 – Commitments and Contingencies
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 results of
operations or financial condition of the Company.
Note
7 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In March
2008, FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities – an amendment of FASB Statement No.
133 (“SFAS No. 161”). SFAS No. 161 requires enhanced
disclosures to provide a better understanding of how and why an entity uses
derivative instruments, how derivative instruments and related hedge items are
accounted for, and their effect on an entity’s financial position, financial
performance, and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 is effective for fiscal
years beginning after November 15, 2008. Adoption of this standard
did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial
statements.
In April,
FASB issued the following FASB Staff Positions (“FSPs”) to provide additional
guidance and enhance disclosures regarding fair value measurements and
impairment of securities.
·
|
FSP
FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures about the
Fair Value of Financial Instruments, amends SFAS No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value
of Financial Instruments, to require an entity to provide
disclosures about fair values of financial instruments in interim
financial statements. This FSP 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 FSP as of
June 30, 2009. Adoption of this FSP did not have a material
impact on the Company’s consolidated financial
statements.
|
·
|
FSP
FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, Recognition and Presentation
of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments, 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. This FSP is effective for interim periods ending after
June 15, 2009 with early adoption permitted. The Company
adopted the FSP as of June 30, 2009. Adoption of this FSP did
not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial
statements.
|
12
·
|
FSP
157-4, Determining Fair
Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability
Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not
Orderly, provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in
accordance with SFAS No. 157, Fair Value
Measurements. This FSP also provides guidance on
identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not
orderly. The provisions of FSP FAS 157-4 are effective for
interim periods ending after June 15, 2009 with early adoption
permitted. The Company adopted the FSP as of June 30,
2009. Adoption of this FSP did not have a material impact on
the Company’s consolidated financial
statements.
|
In May
2009, FASB issued SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events, (“SFAS No.
165”) which establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosures of
events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements
are issued or are available to be issued. It requires entities to
disclose the date through which it has evaluated subsequent events and the basis
for that date. SFAS No. 165 is effective for interim and annual
periods ending after June 15, 2009. SFAS No. 165 was effective for
the Company as of June 30, 2009. Adoption of this standard did not
have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial
statements.
In June
2009, FASB issued SFAS No. 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation
No. 46(R). SFAS No. 167 eliminates FASB Interpretations 46(R)
(“FIN 46(R)”) 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. SFAS No. 167 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 in applying FIN 46(R) provisions. 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 Statement requires additional disclosures regarding an entity’s involvement
in a variable interest entity. This statement is effective for annual reporting
periods beginning after November 15, 2009, and for interim periods therein.
The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of SFAS
No. 167 on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In June
2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards
Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles – a
Replacement of FASB Statement No. 162 (“SFAS No. 168”). SFAS No. 168 will
require the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“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 (“SEC”). FASB Codification significantly changes
the way financial statement preparers and auditors perform accounting
research. The standard is effective for financial statements issued for
interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The
standard is effective for the Company during its interim period ending September
30, 2009 and does not expect SFAS No. 168 to have a material impact on the
Company’s consolidated financial statements.

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

The
Company uses a third party pricing service to assist the Company in determining
the fair value of the investment portfolio. The Company did not
have any Level 3 inputs in the investment portfolio during the
quarter.
Certain
assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis after
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:
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.

Other
real estate owned with a carrying amount of $7,379 was acquired during the six
months ended June 30, 2009. Upon foreclosure, these assets were
written down $687 to their fair value, less estimated costs to sell, which was
charged to the allowance for loan and lease losses during the
period.
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
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 values of loans held for sale are based on their
estimated market prices.
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
values of the Company’s short-term borrowings are estimated using discounted
cash flow analysis based on the Company’s incremental borrowing rates for
similar types of borrowing arrangements.
Long-Term
Borrowings
The fair
values 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
approximates the pricing of a preferred security at current market
prices.
16
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.
The
estimated fair value of the Company’s financial instruments at June 30, 2009 and
December 31, 2008 are as follows:

10 – Common Stock Offering
The
Company is attempting to raise up to a total of $12 million in capital through a
private offer and sale of up to 2,666,667 shares of common stock, together with
warrants to purchase a number of shares equal to 25% of the shares
acquired. Warrants issued in the transaction have a five-year term,
an exercise price of $6.50 per share, and are exercisable in whole or in part at
any time upon written notice of exercise. On June 30, 2009, the
Company completed the private sale of 1,112,515 shares of common stock and
warrants to purchase a total of 278,128 additional shares, for total proceeds of
$5,006. Subsequent to June 30, 2009, the Company completed the
private sale of an additional 824,951 shares of common stock and warrants to
purchase 206,237 additional shares, for total proceeds of $3,712. To
date, the Company has issued 1,937,466 shares of common stock and warrants to
purchase 484,365 additional shares, for total proceeds of $8,719.
Note
11 – Goodwill
At June
30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company had $11,282 in
goodwill. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets, goodwill is not amortized but is reviewed for potential
impairment at the reporting unit level on an annual basis and between annual
tests in certain circumstances such as material adverse changes in legal,
business, regulatory, and economic factors.
17
During
the second quarter of 2009, the Company performed its annual goodwill impairment
test to determine whether an impairment of its goodwill asset exists. The
Company has one reporting unit, the Bank, for purposes of computing
goodwill. The goodwill impairment test involves a two-step
process. The first step is a comparison of the reporting unit’s fair
value to its carrying value. If the reporting unit’s fair value is less than its
carrying value, the Company would be required to progress to the second step. In
the second step the Company would calculate the implied fair value of its
reporting unit, and compare the implied fair value of goodwill to the carrying
amount. If the carrying amount of the goodwill is greater than the
implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss would be recognized in
an amount equal to that excess.
The fair
value of the reporting unit was determined in the first step using a combination
of market and income approaches that were similarly weighted. The
results of the Company’s step one test indicated that the reporting unit’s fair
value exceeded its carrying value and no goodwill impairment
existed. No assurance can be given that the Company’s goodwill will
not be impaired in future periods.

Overview
The
Company is a bank holding company headquartered in Aberdeen,
Washington. The Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, The Bank of the
Pacific (the “Bank”), is a state chartered bank, also located in
Washington. The Company also has two wholly-owned subsidiary trusts
known as PFC Statutory Trust I and II (the “Trusts”) that were formed December
2005 and May 2006, respectively, in connection with the issuance of pooled trust
preferred securities. The Company was incorporated in the state of
Washington on February 12, 1997, pursuant to a holding company reorganization of
the Bank.
The
Company conducts its banking business through the Bank, which operates 16
branches located in communities in Grays Harbor, Pacific, Whatcom, Skagit and

Washington branch into the Ferndale, Washington branch to reduce its branches in
operation to 16. Additionally, construction of a new branch planned
for Warrenton, Oregon, has been postponed as part of the Bank’s efforts to
prudently manage capital.
The Bank
provides loan and deposit services to customers who are predominantly small and
middle-market businesses and middle-income individuals.

Financial
Summary
The
following are significant trends reflected in the Company’s results of
operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and financial
condition as of that date:
|
·
|
Total
assets were $669,026,000 at June 30, 2009, an increase of $43,191,000, or
6.90%, over year-end 2008. Growth in interest bearing deposits
in banks and federal funds sold were the primary contributors to overall
asset growth.
|
|
·
|
The
Company remains well capitalized with a total risk based capital ratio of
12.19% at June 30, 2009, compared to 11.79% at December 31,
2008. During the second quarter, the Company raised capital by
issuing common shares and warrants in connection with the initial closings
of its private offering, with proceeds to the Company of $5,006,000,
further strengthening its capital ratios. See Footnote 10 to
the condensed consolidated financial statements for further
information.
|
|
·
|
Non-performing
assets increased $6,174,000, or 26.0%, to $29,934,000 at June 30,
2009. The increase is primarily attributable to non-performing
construction and land development loans, which represented $24,044,000, or
80.3%, of non-performing assets.
|
20
|
·
|
The
Company continues to be successful in reducing overall exposure to
construction, land acquisition and other land loans, which declined $9.1
million during the six months ended June 30, 2009. This segment
of the portfolio totaling $91.6 million at June 30, 2009, accounts for
approximately 18.5% of the loan
portfolio.
|
|
·
|
Total
deposits increased $55,037,000, or 10.8%, for the six months ended June
30, 2009, compared to December 31, 2008, which reflects management’s
continued focus on a strong deposit base and conditions in our market
area.
|
|
·
|
As
a result of deposit growth, lower borrowings and increased borrowing
capacity with the Federal Reserve, the Company’s liquidity ratio of
approximately 33% at June 30, 2009 translates into over $220 million in
available funding for general operations and to meet loan and deposit
needs.
|
|
·
|
Return
on average assets and return on average equity were (0.40%) and (5.16%),
respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2009 due to increases in
the provision for credit losses and foreclosed real estate (“OREO”)
write-downs, which is reflective of the deterioration in credit
quality.
|
Results
of Operations
Net
income. For the three and
six months ended June 30, 2009, net income (loss) was $(2,265,000) and
$(2,579,000), respectively, compared to $(673,000) and $375,000 for the same
periods in 2008. The decrease in net income for the three and
six month period was primarily due to increased provisions for credit losses
necessary to absorb current period losses, OREO write-downs resulting from
updated appraisals, and continued net interest margin compression, which was
partially offset by an increase in non-interest income and a reduction in core
net overhead (non-interest expense excluding OREO write-downs minus non-interest
income divided by average assets).
Management
initiated a number of measures to control expenses during recent quarters,
including a reduction in workforce, consolidation of two unprofitable branches,
and tightening of other non-interest expenses. As a result, core net
overhead for the six months ended June 30, 2009 decreased to 2.35% compared to
2.85% for the same period in 2008.
Net
interest income. Net interest
income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 decreased $352,000 and
$329,000, or 6.40% and 3.01%, respectively, compared to the same periods in
2008. See the table below and the accompanying discussion for further
information on interest income and expense. The net interest margin
(net interest income divided by average earning assets) decreased to 3.58% for
the six months ended June 30, 2009 from 4.26% for the same period last
year. The decline in net interest margin is due in part to a decrease
in the average yield earned on loans from 6.98% for the six months ended June
30, 2008 to 5.97% for the current six month period that was only partially
offset by a decrease in the Company’s average cost of funds to 2.23% at June 30,
2009 from 2.92% one year ago. In addition, increasing levels of
nonperforming loans and the reversal of interest income on loans placed on
non-accrual status have also negatively affected our net interest
margin.
The
Federal Reserve Board (the “FRB”) heavily influences market interest rates,
including deposit and loan rates offered by many financial
institutions. As a bank holding company, we derive the greatest
portion of our income from net interest income. The Federal Open
Market Committee (“FOMC”) of the FRB cut the target federal funds rate 175 basis
points between June 2008 and June 2009. 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. As a
result of these and other factors, the Company continues to experience net
interest margin compression.
21
The
following table sets forth information with regard to average balances of
interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities and the resultant
yields or cost, net interest income, and the net interest margin on a tax
equivalent basis. Loans held for sale and non-accrual loans are
included in total loans.

Interest income on loans includes loan fees of $445 and $580 in 2009 and 2008,
respectively.
22
Interest
and dividend income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 decreased
$85,000 and $738,000, or 1.03% and 4.29%, respectively, compared to the same
period in 2008. The decrease 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. Additionally, loans placed on non-accrual
increased to $17,171,000 at June 30, 2009, placing further strain on interest
income. Loans averaged $506.0 million with an average yield of 5.97%
for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to average loans of $461.7
million with an average yield of 6.98% for the same period in
2008. The decline in loan yield was partially offset by an increase
in yield on investments. Interest and dividend income on investment
securities for the six months ended June 30, 2009 increased $304,000, or 26.01%,
compared to the same period in 2008, despite a declining rate
environment. The average yield on taxable securities increased to
5.76% at June 30, 2009, from 5.08% at June 30, 2008. The increase is
due primarily to the purchase of certain AAA rated securities in the second half
of 2008. Most of these purchases were made at discounts during
a period of significant market illiquidity, and they have, to date, proven to be
good investments.
Interest
expense for the three months ended June 30, 2009 increased $267,000, or 9.61%,
compared to the same period in 2008. The increase is primarily
attributable to an increase in interest-bearing deposit balances, which was
partially offset by an interest rate reduction on $8.2 million in variable rate
junior subordinated debentures. Interest expense for the six months
ended June 30, 2009 decreased $409,000, or 6.52%, compared to the same period in
2008, which is mainly due to rate decreases on interest-bearing
balances. Average interest-bearing deposit balances for the six
months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 were $468.4 million and $377.4 million,
respectively, with an average cost of 2.07% and 2.76%,
respectively. Deposit rates in the Company’s local market areas have
been slow to decrease as competition has resulted in the pressure to keep
deposit rates elevated, despite the drop in interest rates by the
FOMC. This has been further exacerbated by a number of financial
institutions in our market areas that have been issued regulatory enforcement
actions precluding the use or renewal of brokered deposits, and therefore paying
higher than expected market rates for retail deposits.
Average
borrowings for the six months ended June 30, 2009 were $57.6 million with an
average cost of 3.54% compared to $52.7 million with an average cost of 4.03%
for the same period in 2008. The decrease in borrowing rates is
primarily attributable to rate decreases in short-term borrowings and junior
subordinated debentures, which were partially offset by the funding of the
Company’s loan growth in late 2008 with Federal Home Loan Bank Advances, which
are more expensive as compared to funding such growth with lower cost demand,
money market or savings deposits. Average long-term borrowings for
the six months ended June 30, 2009 were $36.5 million compared to $20.5 million
one year ago.
Provision
and allowance for credit losses. The allowance for
credit losses reflects management's current estimate of the amount required to
absorb probable losses on loans in its loan portfolio based on factors present
as of the end of the period. Loans deemed uncollectible are charged
against and reduce the allowance. Periodically, a provision for
credit losses is charged to current expense. This provision acts to
replenish the allowance for credit losses in order to maintain the allowance at
a level that management deems adequate.
Periodic
provisions for credit losses are made to maintain the allowance for credit
losses at an appropriate level. The provisions are based on an
analysis of various factors including historical loss experience based on
volumes and types of loans, volumes and trends in delinquencies and non-accrual
loans, trends in portfolio volume, results of internal and independent external
credit reviews, and anticipated economic conditions. For additional
information, please see the discussion under the heading "Critical Accounting
Policy" in Item 7 of our 2008 10-K.
23
During
the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, provision for credit losses
totaled $3,587,000 and $5,374,000, compared to $2,228,000 and $2,354,000 for the
same periods in 2008. The significant increase in provision for
credit losses in the current year is the result of increases in loan loss rates
compared to June 30, 2008 and the increase in substandard loans primarily within
our land acquisition and development and residential construction loan
portfolios. Credit quality continues to be problematic due to the
prolonged downturn in the economy and unfavorable conditions in the residential
real estate market. However, the Company believes that non-performing
assets are near their peak and beginning to show signs of
improvement. Loans past due 30 days or more at June 30, 2009 totaled
$21,015,000. This represents 4.24% of total loans (including loans
held for sale), compared to $23,096,000, or 4.64%, at December 31,
2008. Borrowers on loans secured by speculative housing and land lots
are beginning to report sales of units. During the second quarter,
the borrower of the Company’s largest condo loan successfully sold 23 condos out
of 38 at an auction, thereby reducing principal on a $7.7 million loan by over
$4.2 million. Additionally, some recent appraisals of collateral
dependent loans have supported the book value of the loans without further
deterioration.
For the
six months ended June 30, 2009, net charge-offs were $2,794,000 compared to net
charge-offs of $707,000 for the same period in 2008. Net charge-offs
for the twelve months ended December 31, 2008 were $2,175,000. Net
charge-offs continue to be centered in the residential construction and land
development portfolios, which accounted for approximately $1,543,000 of total
net charge-offs for the year. The ratio of net charge-offs to average
loans outstanding for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 was 0.55% and
0.15%, respectively.
At June
30, 2009, the allowance for credit losses was $10,203,000 compared to $7,623,000
at December 31, 2008, and $6,654,000 at June 30, 2008. The
increase from June 30, 2008 is attributable to additional provision for credit
losses arising out of increases in loan loss rates and adversely classified
loans, and is reflective of the depressed and deteriorating economic conditions
in our markets. The ratio of the allowance for credit losses to total
loans outstanding (including loans held for sale) was 2.06%, 1.53% and 1.41%, at
June 30, 2009, December 31, 2008 and June 30, 2008, respectively. The
Company’s loan portfolio includes a significant portion of government guaranteed
loans which are fully guaranteed by the United States
Government. Government guaranteed loans were $43,495,000,
$49,934,000, and $53,499,000 at June 30, 2009, December 31, 2008 and June 30,
2008, respectively. The ratio of allowance for credit losses to total
loans outstanding excluding the government guaranteed loans was 2.25%, 1.70%,
and 1.59%, respectively.
There is
no precise method of predicting specific credit losses or amounts that
ultimately may be charged off. The determination that a loan may
become uncollectible, in whole or in part, is a matter of
judgment. Similarly, the adequacy of the allowance for credit
losses is a matter of judgment that requires consideration of many factors,
including (a) economic conditions and the effect on particular industries and
specific borrowers; (b) a review of borrowers' financial data, together
with industry data, the competitive situation, the borrowers' management
capabilities and other factors; (c) a continuing evaluation of the loan
portfolio, including monitoring by lending officers and staff credit personnel
of all loans which are identified as being of less than acceptable quality;
(d) an in-depth analysis, on a monthly basis, of all loans judged to
present a possibility of loss (if, as a result of such monthly analysis, the
loan is judged to be not fully collectible, the carrying value of the loan is
reduced to that portion considered collectible); and (e) an evaluation of
the underlying collateral for secured lending, including the use of independent
appraisals of real estate properties securing loans. An analysis of
the adequacy of the allowance is conducted by management quarterly and is
reviewed by the board of directors. Based on this analysis and
applicable accounting standards, management considers the allowance for credit
losses to be adequate at June 30, 2009.
Non-performing
assets and foreclosed real estate owned. Non-performing
assets totaled $29,934,000 at June 30, 2009. This represents 4.47% of
total assets, compared to $23,760,000, or 3.80%, at December 31, 2008, and
$8,765,000, or 1.50%, at June 30, 2008. Residential construction and
land development loans continue to be the primary component of non-performing
assets, representing $24,044,000, or 80.3%, of non-performing
assets. Of this amount, $14,035,000 is comprised of 6 relationships
as follows: 3 condominium projects totaling $7,688,000 and 3 residential lot
subdivisions totaling $6,347,000. Loans past due ninety days or more
and still accruing interest of $1,778,000 and $2,274,000 at June 30, 2009 and
December 31, 2008, respectively, were made up almost entirely of loans that were
fully guaranteed by the United Stated Department of Agriculture or Small
Business Administration.
24
The
increase in non-performing assets reflects the continued weakness in the housing
industry. The Company continues to aggressively monitor and identify
non-performing assets and take appropriate action based upon updated market
information. Given the trend of rapidly declining residential real
estate values, the Company reevaluated several non-performing loans and all
foreclosed real estate assets during the six months ended June 30,
2009. As a result, the Company recorded charge-offs of $2,447,000 and
write-downs of foreclosed real estate of $2,517,000 during the period based on
the most recent appraisals. The Company will continue to reevaluate
non-performing assets over the coming twelve months as market conditions
change.
Foreclosed
real estate at June 30, 2009 totaled $10,985,000 and is made up as
follows: seven land or land development properties totaling
$2,573,000, three speculative residential real estate properties totaling
$1,370,000, two condo complexes totaling $6,266,000 and one partially completed
commercial warehouse valued at $776,000. The balances are recorded at
the estimated net realizable value less selling costs.

Non-interest
income and expense. Non-interest
income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 increased $962,000 and
$2,027,000, or 74.5% and 81.0%, compared to the same periods in
2008. Gain on sales of loans, the largest component of non-interest
income, totaled $2,577,000 and $893,000 for the six months ended June 30 2009
and 2008, respectively. The increase for the six month period is due to
increased mortgage refinancing activity as the result of historically low
mortgage rates. Origination of loans held for sale more than tripled
to a total of $162,089,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to
$50,735,000 for the same period in 2008. Management expects gain on
sale of loans to remain strong for 2009 due to refinance and new mortgage
activity driven by historically low interest rates and increased purchase money
transactions.
Services
charges on deposits for the six months ended June 30, 2009 increased $47,000, or
6.06%, compared to the same period in 2008. The Company continues to
emphasize exceptional customer service and believes this emphasis, together with
a long standing strong core deposit base and continued deposit growth,
contributed to the increase in service charge revenue.
The Bank
recorded gains on sale of agency mortgage-backed securities of $303,000 during
the six months ended June 30, 2009.
25
Total
non-interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 increased
$2,625,000 and $4,090,000 compared to the same periods in 2008. The
increase was largely due to write-downs on foreclosed real estate totaling
$1,734,000 and $2,517,000 for the current three and six month
periods. Additionally, non-interest expense was adversely impacted by
the accrual of $305,000 during the second quarter for the Company’s share of the
special assessment imposed by the FDIC on all insured depository institutions,
as well as increases in assessment rates effective April 1,
2009. FDIC assessment expense for the three and six months ended June
30, 2009 totaled $443,000 and $623,000, respectively, compared to $39,000 and
$57,000 for the same periods in the prior year.
Salaries
and employee benefits for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009,
increased $220,000 and $538,000, or 6.73% and 8.39%, respectively, compared to
the same period in 2008, due primarily to increases in commissions paid on the
sale of loans held for sale which was partially offset by a reduction in
workforce. Effective January 2009, the Bank completed a reduction in
force of 13 full-time equivalent positions, which led to $93,000 in severance
expense during the first quarter. In addition, in the weeks leading
up to the strategic staffing reduction, other positions were not filled when
vacated. Cost savings from total staff reductions are expected to be
$1.2 million on an annualized basis. Full time equivalent employees
at June 30, 2009 were 216 compared to 221 at December 31,
2008. Excluding commissioned real estate employees, full time
equivalent employees have declined by 24 on a year over year
basis. During the second quarter, the Company completed the closure
of the Birch Bay branch by consolidating it into the nearby Ferndale, Washington
branch. This combined with an ongoing effort to reduce non-interest
expenses, has reduced net overhead (excluding OREO write-downs) from 2.85% at
December 31, 2008 to 2.35% at June 30, 2009.
The
increase in other operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was
primarily due to increases in legal fees, data processing expenses, and OREO
operating costs, which were up $53,000, $383,000 and $232,000, respectively,
over the same period in the prior year
Income
taxes. The federal
income tax provision (benefit) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009
and 2008 was $(2,048,000) and $(266,000), and $(2,400,000) and $58,000,
respectively. The effective tax rate for the three and six months
ended June 30, 2009 was (47.5)% and (48.2)%, respectively. The
effective tax rate differs from the statutory federal tax rate of 35% largely
due to tax exempt interest income earned on certain investment securities and
loans, income earned from the increase in cash surrender value of bank owned
life insurance and tax credits from investments in low-income housing
projects.
Financial
Condition
Assets. Total
assets were $669,026,000 at June 30, 2009, an increase of $43,191,000, or 6.90%,
over year-end 2008. Loans, including loans held for sale, were
$496,147,000 at June 30, 2009, a decrease of $1,657,000, or 0.33%, over year-end
2008. Growth in interest bearing deposits in banks and federal funds
sold were the primary contributors to overall asset growth.
Investments. The
investment portfolio provides the Company with an income alternative to
loans. The Company’s investment portfolio at June 30, 2009 was
$56,947,000 compared to $55,879,000 at the end of 2008, an increase of
$1,068,000, or 1.91%. During the quarter ended March 31, 2009, the
Company sold $6.4 million in mortgage-backed securities for a gain of $303,000
to help offset OREO write-downs. These securities were replaced with
purchases of similar securities during the second quarter of
2009.
26
Loans. Interest and fees
earned on our loan portfolio is our primary source of revenue. Loans
represented 74% of total assets as of June 30, 2009, compared to 81% at December
31, 2008. The majority of the Company’s loan portfolio is comprised
of commercial and industrial loans and real estate loans. The
commercial and industrial loans are a diverse group of loans to small, medium,
and large businesses for purposes ranging from working capital needs to term
financing of equipment.
Construction
and land development loans and commercial real estate loans have been
significant in our loan portfolio, representing 18.5% and 37.6%, respectively,
of our loan portfolio at June 30, 2009. Conditions in the
construction and land development arena in our market areas have slowed
considerably, and we have seen increasing delinquencies and foreclosures in this
portion of our portfolio, which have contributed to the increased provision for
credit losses. 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 at origination generally do not exceed 75% and debt
service ratios are generally 125% or better. While we have
significant balances within this lending category, we believe that our lending
policies and underwriting standards are sufficient to minimize risk even in a
moderate downturn in the commercial real estate market. Additionally,
this is a sector in which we have significant long-term management
experience.
Beginning
in late 2006 and continuing into 2007, 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 is provided for a very select and small group of
borrowers, which is designed to augment exit from the related
credits.

Interest
bearing demand deposits increased $10,425,000, or 15.3%, due to the continued
success of 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. At June 30, 2009, the balances
in Dream Checking accounts totaled $20.9 million. Money market
accounts decreased $12,693,000, or 13.6%, primarily due to decreased balances
from escrow and title companies which have significantly reduced balances due to
the slowing real estate market. Time deposits increased $65,698,000,
or 30.1%, due to a combination of increases in retail deposits of $34,186,000
and increases in brokered deposits of $31,512,000. 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. Brokered deposits totaled $66,817,000 and $35,305,000
at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. The increase in
brokered deposits was primarily to replace maturing public deposits totaling
$21,839,000 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. Changes in
the market or new regulatory restrictions could limit our ability to acquire
brokered deposits in the future.
It is our
strategic goal to grow deposits through increased brand awareness, continued
success from new branches opened in recent years, and by paying competitive
rates in our local markets. Competitive pressures from banks in our
market areas with strained liquidity positions or public regulatory enforcement
actions may slow our deposit growth. In addition, the slowing economy
and public fears from recent bank failures could also impact our ability to grow
deposits. In the long-term we anticipate continued growth in our core
deposits through both the addition of new customers and our current client
base. We have established and expanded a branch system to serve our
consumer and business depositors. In addition, management’s strategy
for funding asset growth is to make use of brokered and other wholesale deposits
on an as-needed basis.
Liquidity. We believe
adequate liquidity continues to be available to accommodate fluctuations in
deposit levels, fund operations, provide for customer credit needs, and meet
obligations and commitments on a timely basis. The Bank’s primary
sources of funds are customer deposits, maturities of investment securities,
loan sales, loan repayments, net income, and other borrowings. When
necessary, liquidity can be increased by taking advances from credit available
to the Bank. The Bank believes it has a strong liquidity position at
June 30, 2009, with $57.1 million in cash and federal funds sold and other
sources of liquidity currently totaling $164 million. The Bank
maintains credit facilities with correspondent banks totaling $20,000,000, of
which none was used at June 30, 2009. In addition, the Bank has a
credit line with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Seattle for up to 20% of assets,
of which $31,500,000 was used at June 30, 2009. For its funds, the
Company relies on dividends from the Bank and, historically, proceeds from the
issuance of trust preferred securities, both of which are used for various
corporate purposes, including dividends.
28
At June
30, 2009, two wholly-owned subsidiary grantor trusts established by the Company
had issued and outstanding $13,403,000 of trust preferred
securities. During the second quarter of 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.
For
additional information regarding trust preferred securities, see the 2008 10-K
under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations – Liquidity”. The Company does not expect
the issuance of new trust preferred securities to be a source of liquidity in
2009.
Capital. Total
shareholders' equity was $53,223,000 at June 30, 2009, an increase of
$3,149,000, or 6.3%, compared to December 31, 2008. For more
information, see Note 10 to the condensed consolidated financial statements
included elsewhere in this report. The Federal Reserve and the
Federal Deposit Insurance Commission (“FDIC”) have established minimum
guidelines that mandate risk-based capital requirements for bank holding
companies and member banks. Under the guidelines, risk percentages
are assigned to various categories of assets and off-balance sheet items to
calculate a risk-adjusted capital ratio. Regulatory minimum
risk-based capital guidelines under the Federal Reserve require Tier 1 capital
to risk-weighted assets of 4% and total capital to risk-weighted assets of 8% to
be considered adequately capitalized. To qualify as well capitalized
under the FDIC, banks must have a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 5%, a Tier 1
risk-based ratio of 6%, and a Total risk-based capital ratio of
10%. Failure to qualify as well capitalized can negatively impact a
bank’s ability to expand and to engage in certain activities.
The
Company and the Bank qualify as well capitalized at June 30, 2009 and December
31, 2008 as demonstrated in the table below.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND
QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Interest
rate, credit, and operations risks are the most significant market risks that
affect the Company's performance. The Company relies on loan review,
prudent loan underwriting standards, and an adequate allowance for possible
credit losses to mitigate credit risk.
An
asset/liability management simulation model is used to measure interest rate
risk. The model produces regulatory oriented measurements of interest
rate risk exposure. The model quantifies interest rate risk by
simulating forecasted net interest income over a 12-month time period under
various interest rate scenarios, as well as monitoring the change in the present
value of equity under the same rate scenarios. The present value of
equity is defined as the difference between the market value of assets less
current liabilities. By measuring the change in the present value of
equity under various rate scenarios, management is able to identify interest
rate risk that may not be evident from changes in forecasted net interest
income.
29
The
Company is currently asset sensitive, meaning that interest earning assets
mature or re-price more quickly than interest-bearing liabilities in a given
period. Therefore, a significant increase in market rates of interest
could improve net interest income. Conversely, a decreasing rate
environment may adversely affect net interest income.
It should
be noted that the simulation model does not take into account future management
actions that could be undertaken should actual market rates change during the
year. Also, the simulation model results are not exact measures of
the Company's actual interest rate risk. They are only indicators of
rate risk exposure based on assumptions produced in a simplified modeling
environment designed to heighten sensitivity to changes in interest
rates. The rate risk exposure results of the simulation model
typically are greater than the Company's actual rate risk. That is
due to the conservative modeling environment, which generally depicts a
worst-case situation. Management has assessed the results of the
simulation reports as of June 30, 2009 and believes that there has been no
material change since December 31, 2008.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS
AND PROCEDURES
The
Company's disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that
information the Company must disclose in its reports filed or submitted under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act") is recorded, processed,
summarized, and reported on a timely basis. Our management has
evaluated, with the participation and under the supervision of our chief
executive officer (“CEO”) and chief financial officer (“CFO”), the effectiveness
of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e)
and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this
report. Based on this evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded
that, as of such date, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are
effective in ensuring that information relating to the Company, including its
consolidated subsidiaries, required to be disclosed in reports that it files
under the Exchange Act is (1) recorded, processed, summarized, and reported
within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and
(2) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and
CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosures.
No change
in the Company's internal control over financial reporting occurred during our
last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to
materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial
reporting.
