PACIFIC
FINANCIAL CORPORATION
Notes
to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
(Dollars
in thousands, except per share amounts)
Note 1 – Basis of
Presentation
The
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared by Pacific Financial Corporation ("Pacific" or the "Company") in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America for interim financial information and with instructions to Form 10-Q.
Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all of the information
and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of
management, adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered
necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, are not necessarily indicative
of the results anticipated for the year ending December 31, 2010. Certain
information and footnote disclosures included in the Company's consolidated
financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009, 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,
2009.
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) 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.
Certain prior year amounts
for other real estate owned operating costs, and earnings on bank owned life
insurance (“BOLI”) have been reclassified to their own financial statement line
item to conform to the 2010 presentation with no change to net income (loss) or
shareholders’ equity as previously reported. 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. As a result, the
accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the nine months
ended September 30, 2009 has been restated. 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 for the nine months September 30, 2009 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.

At
September 30, 2010, there were 12 investment securities in an unrealized loss
position, of which seven were in a continuous loss position for 12 months or
more. The unrealized losses on these securities were caused by changes in
interest rates 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. 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 September 30,
2010.

Gross
gains realized on sales of securities were $0 and $116 and gross losses realized
were $0 and $0 during the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009,
respectively. Gross gains realized on sales of securities were $513 and $419 and
gross losses realized were $111 and $0 during the nine months ended September
30, 2010 and 2009, 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.

5 – Stock Based Compensation
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 (132,830
shares are available for grant at September 30, 2010). 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 fair
value of stock options granted is determined using the Black-Scholes option
pricing model based on assumptions noted in the following table. 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.

The
Company accounts for stock based compensation in accordance with GAAP, 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. Stock-based compensation expense during the nine
months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 was $34 and $39 ($22 and $26 net of
tax), respectively. Stock-based compensation expense during the three months
ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 was $11 and $13 ($7 and $9 net of tax),
respectively. Future compensation expense for unvested awards outstanding as of
September 30, 2010 is estimated to be $64 recognized over a weighted average
period of 1.8 years. There were no options exercised during the nine months
ended September 30, 2010 and 2009.

Note
6 – 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
off-balance sheet commitments at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 is as
follows:

|
December 31,
|

Commitments
to extend credit
|
$ | 84,123 | $ | 71,435 | ||||
Standby
letters of credit
|
1,030 | 1,164 |
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. Many of the commitments
may expire without being drawn upon; therefore total commitment amounts do not
necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Bank evaluates each
customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral
obtained, if deemed necessary upon extension of credit, is based on management’s
credit evaluation of the customer. 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. The credit risk involved in
issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending
loan facilities to customers.
In
connection with certain loans held for sale, the Bank typically makes
representations and warranties about the underlying loans conforming to
specified guidelines. If the underlying loans do not conform to the
specifications, the Bank may have an obligation to repurchase the loans or
indemnify the purchaser against loss. The Bank believes that the potential for
loss under these arrangements is remote. Accordingly, no contingent liability is
recorded in the consolidated financial statements.
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
January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued
Accounting Standards Update (“Update”) No. 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and
Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value
Measurements. The guidance requires new disclosures on transfers into and
out of Level 1 and 2 measurements of the fair value hierarchy and requires
separate disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements relating
to Level 3 measurements. It also clarifies existing fair value disclosures
relating to the level of disaggregation and inputs and valuation techniques used
to measure fair value. It is effective for the interim periods beginning after
December 15, 2009, except for the requirement to provide the Level 3 activity,
which will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. The
adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s
consolidated financial statements.
In July
2010, FASB issued Update No. 2010-20, Disclosures about the Credit Quality
of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses. The
guidance will require the Company to disclose a greater level of disaggregated
information about the credit quality of its loans and the related allowance for
credit losses. This Update will also require the Company to disclose additional
information related to credit quality indicators, past due information, and
information related to loans modified in a troubled debt restructuring. The
disclosures as of the end of a reporting period are effective for interim and
annual reporting periods ending on or after December 15, 2010. The disclosures
about activity that occurs during a reporting period are effective for interim
and annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The
Company is currently evaluating the requirements of this guidance, but does not
expect it to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial
statements.
Note
8 – Fair Value Measurements
The
Company uses an established 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
securities, and residential mortgage loans held for sale.
Level 3 –
Valuation based on unobservable inputs supported by little or no market activity
for financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models,
discounted cash flow methodologies, yield curves and similar techniques, as well
as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant
management judgment or estimation. Level 3 valuations incorporate certain
assumptions and projections in determining the fair value assigned to such
assets or liabilities, but in all cases are corroborated by external data, which
may include third-party pricing services.
The
following table presents the balances of assets measured at fair value on a
recurring basis at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009:

The
Company uses a third party pricing service to assist the Company in determining

reconciliation of assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis
using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) during the nine months ended
September 30, 2010. There were no transfers of assets in to or out of Level 3

Certain
assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis after
initial recognition such as loans measured for impairment and other real estate
owned (“OREO”). The following methods were used to estimate the fair value of
each such class of financial instrument:
Loans held for sale – Loans
held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value. 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 an 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 principal) 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 net realizable 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 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 $8,020 was acquired during the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Upon foreclosure, these assets were written down $964 to their fair value, less estimated costs to sell, which was charged to the allowance for credit 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
and due from banks, Interest bearing deposits in banks, and Federal funds
sold
The
carrying amounts of cash, interest bearing deposits at other financial
institutions, and federal funds sold approximate their fair value.
Investment
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 values of
loans held for sale are based on a discounted cash flow calculation using
interest rates currently available on similar loans. The fair value was based on
an aggregate loan basis.
Deposits
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.
16
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.
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.
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.
The
estimated fair value of the Company’s financial instruments at September 30,
2010 and December 31, 2009 are as follows:

Note 9 – Goodwill
The
majority of goodwill and intangibles arise from business combinations accounted
for under the purchase method. Goodwill and other intangibles deemed
to have indefinite lives generated from purchase business combinations are not
subject to amortization and are instead tested for impairment no less than
annually. The Company has one reporting unit, the Bank, for purposes
of computing goodwill.
17
During
the second quarter of 2010, the Company performed its annual goodwill impairment
test to determine whether an impairment of its goodwill asset exists. This test
was completed during the current quarter. 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 calculates the implied fair value of
its reporting unit. The GAAP standards with respect to goodwill require that the
Company compare the implied fair value of goodwill to the carrying amount of
goodwill on the Company’s balance sheet. If the carrying amount of
the goodwill is greater than the implied fair value of that goodwill, an
impairment loss must be recognized in an amount equal to that
excess. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined in the same
manner as goodwill recognized in a business combination. The
estimated fair value of the Company is allocated to all of the Company’s
individual assets and liabilities, including any unrecognized identifiable
intangible assets, as if the Company had been acquired in a business combination
and the estimated fair value of the Company is the price paid to acquire it. The
allocation process is performed only for purposes of determining the amount of
goodwill impairment, as no assets or liabilities are written up or down, nor are
any additional unrecognized identifiable intangible assets recorded as a part of
this process.
The
results of the Company’s step one test indicated that the reporting unit’s fair
value was less than its carrying value, requiring the Company to perform step
two of the goodwill impairment analysis. After the step two analysis was
completed, the Company determined the implied fair value of goodwill was greater
than the carrying value on the Company’s balance sheet and no goodwill
impairment existed; however, no assurance can be given that the Company’s
goodwill will not be written down in future periods.

Financial
Summary
The
following are significant trends reflected in the Company’s results of
operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and financial
condition as of that date:
|
·
|
The
Company reported its third consecutive quarter of profitability with net
income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 of $479,000
and $1,616,000, respectively, representing increases of $2,238,000 and
$5,954,000, compared to net losses of $(1,759,000) and $(4,338,000) for
the same periods in 2009. The increase was primarily related to an
improvement in net interest margin and a decrease in provision for credit
losses.
|
|
·
|
Return
on average assets and return on average equity were 0.33% and 3.68%,
respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared to
(0.88%) and (11.00%), respectively, for the same periods in
2009.
|
|
·
|
Net
interest income increased $203,000 for the three months ended September
30, 2010 to $5,743,000 compared to the same period of the prior year. Net
interest income increased $967,000 for the nine months ended September 30,
2010 to $17,125,000 compared to the same period of the prior year. The
increase is primarily the result of a decrease in funding costs. Net
interest margin improved to 3.95% for the nine months ended September 30,
2010 compared to 3.60% one year
ago.
|
20
|
·
|
The
Bank remains well capitalized with a total risk-based capital ratio of
14.30% at September 30, 2010, compared to 13.07% at December 31,
2009.
|
|
·
|
Total
assets were $634,278,000 at September 30, 2010, a decrease of $34,348,000,
or 5.14%, over year-end 2009. Reduction in construction and land
development loans as well as decreases in interest bearing deposits in
banks and investments, which were used to fund brokered deposit run-off,
were the primary contributors to the overall asset
decline.
|
|
·
|
Non-performing
assets (“NPAs”) decreased during the quarter and totaled $16,279,000 at
September 30, 2010, which represents 2.57% of total assets, and is a
decrease from $17,531,000 at June 30, 2010 and a decrease from September
30, 2009 when NPAs were $27,008,000. NPAs are now at the lowest level in
over two years.
|
|
·
|
Provision
for credit losses decreased to $850,000 and $2,850,000 for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively, compared to $3,170,000
and $8,544,000 for the same periods one year ago. The allowance for credit
losses increased to 2.36% of total loans (including loans held for sale)
compared to 2.24% at year-end 2009.
|
|
·
|
The
Company continues to be successful in reducing overall exposure to
construction and land development loans. This segment of the portfolio,
totaling $52.6 million at September 30, 2010, accounts for approximately
10.8% of the total loan portfolio (including loans held for sale), as
opposed to $83.0 million and 16.8% one year
ago.
|
|
·
|
Total
deposits decreased $33,456,000, or 5.89%, for the nine months ended
September 30, 2010, compared to December 31, 2009. Due to excess
liquidity, management’s strategy was to reduce higher cost time deposits,
including brokered deposits, in order to improve the cost of funds and net
interest margin. The Company’s liquidity ratio of approximately 41% at
September 30, 2010 remains strong and translates into over $259 million in
available funding to meet loan and deposit
needs.

Results
of Operations
Net
income (loss).
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, net income was $479,000
and $1,616,000, respectively, compared to a net loss of $(1,759,000) and
$(4,338,000) for the same periods in 2009. The increase in net income for the
three and nine month period was primarily related to an increase in net interest
income and decreases in the provision for credit losses and non-interest
expense.
Net
interest income.
Net interest income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010
increased $203,000 and $967,000, or 3.66% and 5.98%, respectively, compared to
the same periods in 2009. See the tables 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) increased to 4.20% for
the three months ended September 30, 2010 from 3.77% for the same period last
year. The increase in the current three month period is due to a decline in the
cost of interest bearing liabilities to 1.56% from 2.08%, which was only
slightly offset by a decrease in yield on interest bearing assets from 5.58% to
5.53%. The net interest margin increased to 3.95% for the nine months ended
September 30, 2010 from 3.60% for the same period last year. The increase in net
interest margin is due to an improvement in the average cost of funds to 1.65%
at September 30, 2010 from 2.18% one year ago, that was only partially offset by
a decline in the Company’s average yield earned on assets from 5.65% for the
nine months ended September 30, 2009 to 5.52% for the current nine month period.
In addition, decreasing levels of nonperforming loans placed on non-accrual
status have also positively affected our net interest margin.
21
The
Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC”) of the Federal Reserve 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. 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 the benefits of declining
rates paid decrease as rates approach zero.
The
following tables set 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 $408 and $701 in 2010 and 2009,
respectively.
Interest
and dividend income on a tax equivalent basis for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2010 decreased $684,000 and $1,434,000, or 8.03% and 5.65%,
respectively, compared to the same periods in 2009. The decrease was primarily
due to the decline in income earned on our loan portfolio as a result of lower
average balances outstanding. Loans averaged $487.0 million with an average
yield of 5.95% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared to average
loans of $502.0 million with an average yield of 6.02% for the same period in
2009. Interest and dividend income on investment securities on a tax equivalent
basis for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 decreased $512,000, or
19.51%, compared to the same period in 2009. The decrease was attributable to
the reduction in rates earned on adjustable rate mortgage-backed securities and
the maturity and sale of higher yielding securities that cannot be replaced in
the current low rate environment.
23
Average
interest earning balances with banks for the nine months ended September 30,
2010 were $37.0 million with an average yield of 0.33% compared to $34.2 million
with an average yield of 0.28% for the same period in 2009. The increase in
average interest earning balances with banks is mostly due to the increase in
cash balances resulting from deposit growth during the later part of 2009 and
the sales of investment securities in 2010.
Interest
expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 decreased
$874,000 and $2,430,000, or 31.64% and 28.18%, respectively, compared to the
same periods in 2009. The decrease is primarily attributable to a decrease in
rates paid on time certificates of deposits. Average interest-bearing deposit
balances for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 were $461.0
million and $474.7 million, respectively, with an average cost of 1.48% and
2.02%, respectively. Due to regulatory rate restrictions on troubled
institutions within our market area, the Company has seen local competitive
rates decline steadily in 2010, particularly on time deposits.
Average
borrowings for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 were $38.3 million with
an average cost of 3.74% compared to $52.6 million with an average cost of 3.61%
for the same period in 2009. The decrease in average borrowing balances
outstanding is primarily due to the pay-off of $4.2 million in average
short-term borrowings and $9.8 million in average long-term borrowings since
September 30, 2009. The pay down in borrowings was funded by growth in lower
cost demand, money market and savings accounts.
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 a level considered appropriate by management. 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 2009 10-K.
During
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, provision for credit losses
totaled $850,000 and $2,850,000, compared to $3,170,000 and $8,544,000 for the
same periods in 2009. The decrease in provision for credit losses in the current
year is the result of decreases in non-performing loans outstanding from
$16,815,000 at September 30, 2009 compared to $6,590,000 at September 30, 2010
and a decrease in charged off loans.
Estimated
loss factors used in the allowance for credit loss analysis are established
based in part on historic charge-off data by loan category and economic
conditions. During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the loss factors
used in the allowance for credit losses were updated specifically on home equity
lines of credit by 0.50% from 0.25% to 0.75% based upon increased charge-offs in
this category within the last twelve to eighteen months. There were no changes
to loss factors during the three months ended September 30, 2010.
24
While
credit quality has been 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 peaked during the second quarter of 2009 and
have improved over the last four quarters. Credit quality indicators for the
current and trailing 4 quarters are shown below:

Loans
past due 30 days or more at September 30, 2010 improved during the quarter by
$3,919,000, or 39%, to $6,119,000 compared to $10,038,000 at June 30, 2010. This
represents 1.3% of total loans (including loans held for sale), compared to 2.1%
at June 30, 2010, 3.3% at December 31, 2009 and 3.7% at September 30, 2009. Past
due loans are considered a leading indicator for future problem
loans.
For the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, net charge-offs were $583,000
and $2,431,000 compared to $1,793,000 and $4,587,000 for the same periods in
2009. Net charge-offs for the twelve months ended December 31, 2009 were
$6,475,000. Net charge-offs continue to be centered in the residential
construction and land development portfolios, which accounted for approximately
$1,457,000, or 60%, of total net charge-offs for the current year. The ratio of
net charge-offs to average loans outstanding for the nine months ended September
30, 2010 and 2009 was 0.50% and 0.91%, respectively.
At
September 30, 2010, the allowance for credit losses was $11,511,000 compared to
$11,092,000 at December 31, 2009, and $11,580,000 at September 30, 2009.
The increase in 2010 is due to provision for credit losses of $2,850,000 which
exceeded net charge-offs of $2,431,000 for the nine months ended September 30,
2010. The ratio of the allowance for credit losses to total loans outstanding
(including loans held for sale) was 2.36%, 2.24% and 2.34%, at September 30,
2010, December 31, 2009 and September 30, 2009, respectively. 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 increase in the
allowance for credit losses to total loans is reflective of management’s review
of qualitative factors including the continued uncertainty in the economy and
financial industry, pervasive high unemployment rates in our geographic markets,
and continued deterioration in real estate values, albeit at a slower pace than
in the last two years.
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 $47,835,000, $50,548,000, and $46,003,000 at September 30,
2010, December 31, 2009 and September 30, 2009, respectively. The ratio of
allowance for credit losses to total loans outstanding excluding the government
guaranteed loans was 2.62%, 2.50%, and 2.58%, respectively.
25
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 significant management
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 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 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 September 30, 2010.
Non-performing
assets and other real estate owned. Non-performing assets
totaled $16,279,000 at September 30, 2010. This represents 2.57% of total
assets, compared to $22,859,000, or 3.42%, at December 31, 2009, and
$27,008,000, or 3.96%, at September 30, 2009. Construction and land development
loans, including related OREO balances, continue to be the primary component of
non-performing assets, representing $7,906,000, or 48.6%, of non-performing
assets. There were no loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest
at September 30, 2010. Loans past due ninety days or more and still accruing
interest of $547,000 and $793,000 at December 31, 2009 and September 30, 2009,
respectively, were made up almost entirely of loans that were fully guaranteed
by United States government agencies. The following table presents information
related to the Company’s non-performing assets:

September 30, 2010, and are also considered impaired loans. There were no
TDRS as of December 31, 2009 or September 30,
2009.
|
Non-performing
loans decreased $9,604,000, or 59.3%, from the balance at December 31, 2009 due
to transfers to OREO upon foreclosure. The decrease in non-performing loans was
mostly in the construction and land development and commercial real estate
categories. The transfer of loans to OREO was partially offset by sales of OREO
during 2010, resulting in an overall decrease in non-performing assets. While
non-performing assets are improving, the level of non-performing assets is still
considered elevated by historical standards and reflects the continued weakness
in the real estate market. The Company continues to aggressively monitor and
identify non-performing assets and take action based upon available information.
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 estimated value of the underlying
collateral. This process enables the Company to update its reserve
for non-performing loans within the allowance for credit losses.
Other
real estate owned at September 30, 2010 totaled $9,651,000 and is made up as
follows: nine land or land development properties totaling $4,007,000, two
residential construction properties totaling $1,600,000, six commercial real
estate properties totaling $3,261,000, and three residential single family
residences valued at $783,000. The balances are recorded at the estimated net
realizable value of the real estate less selling costs. During the nine months
ended September 30, 2010, the Company sold ten properties totaling $3,506,000,
which was offset by the addition of sixteen new properties totaling
$7,056,000.
Non-interest
income and expense. Non-interest income for the
three months ended September 30, 2010 increased slightly by $27,000, or 1.4%,
compared to the same period in 2009. The increase is mostly attributable to
increases in services charges on deposits and interchange revenue on debit cards
which is included in other operating income, which was partially offset by a
decrease in gain on sales of investments. Non-interest income for the nine
months ended September 30, 2010 decreased $316,000, or 4.9%, compared to the
same period in 2009 due primarily to a decrease in the gain on sales of loans.
Gain on sales of loans, the largest component of non-interest income, totaled
$1,010,000 and $1,028,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and
2009, and $2,859,000 and $3,605,000, for the nine months ended September 30,
2010 and 2009, respectively. The decrease for the three and nine month period is
due to a decline in mortgage refinancing activity compared to 2009 when
government incentive programs (including tax credits) and decreasing mortgage
rates resulted in unprecedented new mortgage and refinance activity. However,
with a decrease in long-term mortgage rates during the current quarter, mortgage
refinance activity has increased compared to the prior quarter. Origination of
loans held for sale were $56,584,000 for the three months ended September 30,
2010, compared to $43,139,000 for the prior three month period. Origination of
loans held for sale were $141,541,000 for the nine months ended September 30,
2010, compared to $220,515,000 for the same period in 2009.
27
Services
charges on deposits for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010
increased $37,000, or 8.67%, and $89,000, or 7.1%, respectively, compared to the
same periods in 2009. The increase is primarily the result of an automated
overdraft privilege program that was implemented on April 1, 2010. However, with
overdraft regulations requiring opt-in provisions effective in August, 2010,
management does not expect future growth in overdraft revenue.
The Bank
recorded gains on sale of securities available-for-sale of $0 and $402,000,
during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively,
compared to $116,000 and $419,000 for the same periods in 2009. Gain on sale of
OREO totaled $19,000 and $273,000 during the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2010, respectively, compared to zero for the same periods in the
prior year.
Total
non-interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010
decreased $738,000 and $2,901,000 compared to the same periods in 2009. The
decrease was largely due to a decline in OREO write-downs which totaled $73,000
and $564,000 for the current three and nine month periods, respectively,
compared to $22,000 and $2,539,000 for the same periods in 2009, which was
partially offset by an increase in OREO operating costs. OREO operating costs
for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 totaled $425,000 compared to
$303,000 one year ago.
Salaries
and employee benefits for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009,
were flat at $3,378,000 and $3,366,000, respectively. Salaries and employee
benefits for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, decreased $402,000, or
3.9%, compared to the same period in 2009. The decrease is largely due to a
reduction in commissions paid on mortgage loans sold due to a decline in the
volume of loans sold in the secondary market. Additionally, the prior year
amount included severance paid in connection with a workforce reduction in
January 2009. Full time equivalent employees at September 30, 2010 were 214
compared to 218 at December 31, 2009.
Income
taxes. The
federal income tax expense (benefit) for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2010 and 2009 was $98,000 and $(60,000), and $(952,000) and
$(3,352,000), respectively. The effective tax rate for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2010 was 17.0% and (3.9)%, respectively. The effective tax
rate differs from the statutory rate of 34.4% due to tax exempt income
representing 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.
Financial
Condition
Assets.
Total assets were $634,278,000 at September 30, 2010, a decrease of $34,348,000,
or 5.14%, over year-end 2009. Decreases in federal funds sold and interest
bearing cash, investments available-for-sale and loans were the primary
contributors to overall asset decline.
Investments. The investment
portfolio provides the Company with an income alternative to loans. The
Company’s investment portfolio at September 30, 2010 was $50,204,000 compared to
$61,126,000 at the end of 2009, a decrease of $10,922,000, or 17.87%. During
2010, the Company sold $15.3 million in securities for a gain of $402,000. The
proceeds from sales of investment securities were mostly reinvested in interest
bearing deposits with banks which were used to fund the paydown of liabilities.
Additionally, during 2010, the Company transferred a $5 million investment in a
money market mutual fund to interest bearing deposits in banks in order to
improve the rate of return on short-term cash.
28
Loans. Total loans, including loans
held for sale, were $486,924,000 at September 30, 2010, a decrease of
$7,711,000, or 1.56%, compared to December 31, 2009. The reduction in total
loans was driven primarily by a decrease in construction and land development
loans of $12,197,000 through a combination of loan payoffs and pay-downs,
coupled with the sale of $5,019,000 in government guaranteed loans for a gain of
$210,000. The reduction in the construction and land development loans is a
reflection of management's continued 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 an increase in residential 1-4
family real estate loans and owner occupied commercial real estate loans. During
the three month ended September 30, 2010 total loans increased $5,094,000,
primarily in the residential 1-4 family category. Loan detail by category,
including loans held for sale, as of September 30, 2010 and December 31,

Interest
and fees earned on our loan portfolio is our primary source of revenue. Gross
loans represented 77% of total assets as of September 30, 2010, compared to 74%
at December 31, 2009. The majority of the Company’s loan portfolio is comprised
of commercial and industrial loans and real estate loans. The commercial and
industrial loans are a diverse group of loans to small, medium, and large
businesses for purposes ranging from working capital needs to term financing of
equipment.
The
commercial real estate loan category constitutes 41% of our loan portfolio and
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 reduce risk even in a downturn in the
commercial real estate market. Additionally, this is a sector in which we have
significant long-term management experience.
29
We remain
aggressive in managing our construction loan portfolio and continue to be
successful at reducing our overall exposure in the residential construction and
land development segments. While these segments have historically played a
significant role in our loan portfolio, balances are declining. Construction and
land development loans represent 10.8% and 13.1%, respectively, of our loan
portfolio at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009. We believe both of these
segments will remain challenged during 2010 and into 2011.
The Bank
is not engaging in new land acquisition and development financing. Limited
residential speculative construction financing is being provided for a very
select and small group of borrowers, which is designed to facilitate exit from
the related loans. 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, which was completed in the first quarter of 2010. As of September
30, 2010, concentration in commercial real estate as a percentage of risk-based
capital stood at 234% and concentration in land and residential construction as
a percentage of risk based capital was 63%.
Deposits. Total deposits were
$534,239,000 at September 30, 2010, a decrease of $33,456,000 or 5.89%, compared
to December 31, 2009. Deposit detail by category as of September 30, 2010
and December 31, 2009 follows (in thousands):

Non-interest
bearing demand deposits increased $4,491,000, or 5.2%, which is consistent with
the cyclical pattern of our deposits for our tourist heavy locations in which
balances typically reach their highest point in the third quarter of the year.
Interest bearing demand deposits increased $10,557,000, or 11.5%, due to the
continued shift by customers into NOW accounts in order to participate in the
United States Treasury Department’s Transaction Account Guaranty Program. Money
market accounts decreased $914,000, or 1.1%, which was more than offset by an
increase in savings accounts of $1,978,000, or 3.9%.
Time
deposits decreased $49,568,000, or 19.6%, due to a combination of decreases in
brokered deposits of $28,185,000 and decreases in retail time deposits of
$21,383,000, which was partially offset by increases in other lower cost core
deposit categories. The decrease in retail deposits is due to our commitment to
maintain a disciplined pricing strategy. As a result, we have experienced a
decline in retail time deposits as rates paid on the Company’s time deposits are
less than the Washington state average, resulting in decreases in balances for
rate sensitive customers. Due to an excess liquidity position at year-end 2009,
the Company planned to roll off brokered deposits as they came due, of which $28
million matured in 2010 to date. Remaining maturities are as follows: 2010 -
$7,051,000; and 2011 - $25,700,000.
30
It is our
strategic goal to grow core deposits through the quality and breadth of our
branch network, increased brand awareness, superior sales practices and
competitive rates. 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
as opportunities arise may include 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 September 30, 2010, with $36.1
million in cash and interest bearing deposits with banks. In addition the Bank
has other sources of liquidity currently totaling $223 million. The Bank
maintains credit facilities with correspondent banks totaling $1,750,000, of
which none was used as of September 30, 2010. In addition, the Bank has a credit
line with the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) of Seattle for up to 20% of
assets, of which $21,000,000 was used at September 30, 2010. Based on current
pledged collateral, the Bank had $103 million of available borrowing capacity on
its line at the FHLB. 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 $44 million, subject to pledged collateral.
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. The Company does not expect
the issuance of new trust preferred securities to be a source of liquidity in
the future.
At
September 30, 2010, 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 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 September 30, 2010, deferred interest totaled
$776,000 and is included in accrued interest payable on the balance
sheet.
For
additional information regarding trust preferred securities, see the 2009 10-K
under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations – Liquidity”.
Capital. Total shareholders' equity
was $60,406,000 at September 30, 2010, an increase of $2,757,000, or 4.8%,
compared to December 31, 2009. The Federal Reserve and the 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 are subject to certain restrictions on the payment of
dividends without prior regulatory approval.
Goodwill Valuation. Goodwill
is assigned to reporting units for purposes of impairment testing. The Company
has one reporting unit, the Bank, for purposes for purposes of computing
goodwill. The Company performs an annual review in the second quarter of each
fiscal year, or more frequently if indications of potential impairment exist, to
determine if the recorded goodwill is impaired. During the third quarter, the
Company updated its annual assessment for potential impairment of
goodwill.
A
significant amount of judgment is involved in determining if an indicator of
impairment has occurred. Such indicators may include, among others; a
significant decline in expected future cash flows; a sustained, significant
decline in our stock price and market capitalization; a significant adverse
change in legal factors or in the business climate; adverse assessment or action
by a regulator; and unanticipated competition. Any adverse change in these
factors could have a significant impact on the recoverability of such assets and
could have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial
Statements.
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. The Company
estimates fair value using the best information available, including market
information and a discounted cash flow analysis, which is also referred to as
the income approach. The income approach uses a reporting unit’s projection of
estimated operating results and cash flows that is discounted using a rate that
reflects current market conditions. The projection uses management’s best
estimates of economic and market conditions over the projected period including
growth rates in loans and deposits, estimates of future expected changes in net
interest margins and cash expenditures. The market approach estimates fair value
by applying cash flow multiples to the reporting unit’s operating performance.
The multiples are derived from comparable publicly traded companies with similar
operating and investment characteristics of the reporting unit. We validate our
estimated fair value by comparing the fair value estimates using the income
approach to the fair value estimates using the market approach.
As part
of our process for performing the step one impairment test of goodwill, the
Company estimated the fair value of the reporting unit utilizing the allocation
of corporate value approach, the income approach and the market approach in
order to derive an enterprise value of the Company. The allocation of corporate
value approach applies the aggregate market value of the Company and divides it
among the reporting units. A key assumption in this approach is the control
premium applied to the aggregate market value. A control premium is utilized as
the value of a company from the perspective of a controlling interest is
generally higher than the widely quoted market price per share. The Company used
an expected control premium of 30%, which was based on comparable transactional
history.
32
Assumptions
used by the Company in its discounted cash flow model (income approach) included
an average annual revenue growth rate that approximated 2%, a net interest
margin that ranged from 3.84% to 3.96% and a return on assets that ranged from
0.3% to 0.6%. In addition to utilizing the above projections of estimated
operating results, key assumptions used to determine the fair value estimate
under the income approach was the discount rate of 15.0 percent utilized for our
cash flow estimates and a terminal value estimated at 1.4 times the ending book
value of the reporting unit. The Company used a build-up approach in developing
the discount rate that included: an assessment of the risk free interest rate,
the rate of return expected from publicly traded stocks, the industry the
Company operates in and the size of the Company.
In
applying the market approach method, the Company considered all publicly traded
companies within the banking industry in Washington and Oregon with total assets
less than $5 billion. This resulted in selecting seven publicly traded
comparable institutions which were analyzed based on a variety of financial
metrics (tangible equity, leverage ratio, return on assets, return on equity,
net interest margin, nonperforming assets, net charge-offs, and reserves for
loan losses) and other relevant qualitative factors (geographical location,
lines of business, business model, risk profile, availability of financial
information, etc.) After selecting comparable institutions, the
Company derived the fair value of the reporting unit by completing a comparative
analysis of the relationship between their financial metrics listed above and
their market values utilizing various market multiples. Focus was placed
on the price to tangible book value of equity multiple as this multiple
generally reflects returns on the capital employed within the industry and is
generally correlated with the profitability of each individual
company.
The
Company concluded a fair value of its reporting unit of $66.0 million, by
equally weighting the values derived from 1) the corporate value approach of
$66.2 million, 2) the income approach of $67.0 million, and 3) the market
approach of $66.0 million; compared to a carrying value of its reporting unit of
$70.4 million. Based on the results of the step one goodwill impairment
analysis, the Company determined the second step must be performed.
In the
second step the Company calculates the implied fair value of its reporting unit.
If the carrying amount of the goodwill is greater than the implied fair value of
that goodwill, an impairment loss must be recognized in an amount equal to that
excess. The implied fair value of the reporting unit is determined in the
same manner as goodwill recognized in a business combination by estimating the
value of each asset and liability as if it had been newly acquired. Under the
step two goodwill impairment analysis, the Company calculated the fair value for
its unrecognized core deposit intangible, as well as the remaining assets and
liabilities of the reporting unit. Significant adjustments were made to the fair
value of the Company’s loans receivable compared to its recorded value. Key
assumptions used in its fair value estimate of loans receivable was the discount
for comparable loan sales. The Company used a weighted average discount rate
that approximated the discount for similar loan sales by the FDIC during the
past year. The Company segregated its loan portfolio into six categories,
including performing loans and criticized loans. The weighted average discount
rates for these individual categories ranged from 5% (for performing loans) to
90% (for criticized loans classified as doubtful). The calculated implied fair
value of the Company’s goodwill totaled $39.8 million and exceeded the carrying
value by $28.5 million, or 252%. Based on results of the step two impairment
test, the Company determined no impairment charge of goodwill was
required.
33
Even
though the Company determined that there was no goodwill impairment, continued
declines in the value of our stock price as well as values of others in the
financial industry, declines in revenue for the Bank beyond our current
forecasts and significant adverse changes in the operating environment for the
financial industry may result in a future impairment charge. It is possible that
changes in circumstances existing at the measurement date or at other times in
the future, or in the numerous estimates associated with management’s judgments,
assumptions and estimates made in assessing the fair value of our goodwill,
could result in an impairment charge of a portion or all of our goodwill. If the
Company recorded an impairment charge, its financial position and results of
operations would be adversely affected, however, such an impairment charge would
have no impact on our liquidity, operations or regulatory capital.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Interest
rate, credit, and operations risks are the most significant market risks that
affect the Company's performance. The Company relies on loan review, prudent
loan underwriting standards, and an adequate allowance for possible credit
losses to mitigate credit risk.
An
asset/liability management simulation model is used to measure interest rate
risk. The model produces regulatory oriented measurements of interest rate risk
exposure. The model quantifies interest rate risk by simulating forecasted net
interest income over a 12-month time period under various interest rate
scenarios, as well as monitoring the change in the present value of equity under
the same rate scenarios. The present value of equity is defined as the
difference between the market value of assets less current liabilities. By
measuring the change in the present value of equity under various rate
scenarios, management is able to identify interest rate risk that may not be
evident from changes in forecasted net interest income.
The
Company is currently asset sensitive, meaning that interest earning assets
mature or re-price more quickly than interest-bearing liabilities in a given
period. Therefore, a significant increase in market rates of interest could
improve net interest income. Conversely, a decreasing rate environment may
adversely affect net interest income.
It should
be noted that the simulation model does not take into account future management
actions that could be undertaken should actual market rates change during the
year. Also, the simulation model results are not exact measures of the Company's
actual interest rate risk. They are only indicators of rate risk exposure based
on assumptions produced in a simplified modeling environment designed to
heighten sensitivity to changes in interest rates. The rate risk exposure
results of the simulation model typically are greater than the Company's actual
rate risk. That is due to the conservative modeling environment, which generally
depicts a worst-case situation. Management has assessed the results of the
simulation reports as of June 30, 2010 and believes that there has been no
material change since December 31, 2009.
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.
34
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.
