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 ("GAAP") 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 GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2012, are not necessarily indicative of the results anticipated for the year ending December 31, 2012. Certain information and footnote disclosures included in the Company's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011, 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, 2011.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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.
Note 2 – Earnings per Share
The following table illustrates the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share.
Three Months Ended March 31, | ||||||||
2012 | 2011 | |||||||
Basic: | ||||||||
Net income | $ | 1,018 | $ | 432 | ||||
Weighted average shares outstanding | 10,121,853 | 10,121,853 | ||||||
Basic earnings per share | $ | 0.10 | $ | 0.04 | ||||
Diluted: | ||||||||
Net income | $ | 1,018 | $ | 432 | ||||
Weighted average shares outstanding | 10,121,853 | 10,121,853 | ||||||
Effect of dilutive stock options | 8 | — | ||||||
Weighted average shares outstanding assuming dilution | 10,121,861 | 10,121,853 | ||||||
Diluted earnings per share | $ | 0.10 | $ | 0.04 |
As of March 31, 2012 and 2011, there were 524,107 and 616,608 shares, respectively, subject to outstanding options and 699,642 and 699,642 shares, respectively, subject to outstanding warrants with exercise prices in excess of the current market value. All of these shares are not included in the table above, as exercise of these options and warrants would not be dilutive to shareholders. Additionally, as of March 31, 2012, there were 7,274 shares subject to outstanding restricted stock units, which shares are also not included because of the current market value price is above the share price on the date the award was granted.

At March 31, 2012, there were 20 investment securities in an unrealized loss position, of which six 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 pricing spreads and market illiquidity, leading to a decline in the fair value subsequent to their purchase. 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 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 March 31, 2012, except as described below with respect to one non-agency MBS.
For non-agency MBS the Company estimates expected future cash flows of the underlying collateral, together with any credit enhancements. The expected future cash flows of the underlying collateral are determined using the remaining contractual cash flows adjusted for future expected credit losses (which considers current delinquencies, future expected default rates and collateral value by vintage) and prepayments. The expected cash flows of the security are then discounted to arrive at a present value amount. For the three months ended March 31, 2012, one non-agency MBS was determined to be other-than-temporarily-impaired resulting in the Company recording $192 in impairments not related to credit losses through other comprehensive income and $70 in impairments related to credit losses through earnings.
Gross gains realized on sales of securities were $16 and $110 and gross losses realized were $6 and $0 during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
The Company did not engage in originating subprime mortgage loans and it does not believe that it has material 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, structured investment vehicles or Euro zone sovereign debt.

Credit Quality Indicators
Federal regulations require that the Bank periodically evaluate the risks inherent in its loan portfolios. In addition, the Washington Division of Banks and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) have authority to identify problem loans and, if appropriate, require them to be reclassified. There are three classifications for problem loans: Substandard, Doubtful, and Loss. These terms are used as follows:
· | “Substandard” loans have one or more defined weaknesses and are characterized by the distinct possibility some loss will be sustained if the deficiencies are not corrected. |
· | “Doubtful” loans have the weaknesses of loans classified as "Substandard," with additional characteristics that suggest the weaknesses make collection or recovery in full after liquidation of collateral questionable on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values. There is a high possibility of loss in loans classified as "Doubtful." |
· | “Loss” loans are considered uncollectible and of such little value that continued classification of the credit as a loan is not warranted. If a loan or a portion thereof is classified as "Loss," it must be charged-off; meaning the amount of the loss is charged against the allowance for credit losses, thereby reducing that reserve. |
The Bank also classifies some loans as “Pass” or Other Loans Especially Mentioned (“OLEM”). Within the Pass classification certain loans are “Watch” rated because they have elements of risk that require more monitoring than other performing loans. Pass grade loans include a range of loans from very high credit quality to acceptable credit quality. These borrowers generally have strong to acceptable capital levels and consistent earnings and debt service capacity. Loans with higher grades within the Pass category may include borrowers who are experiencing unusual operating difficulties, but have acceptable payment performance to date. Overall, loans with a Pass grade show no immediate loss exposure. Loans classified as OLEM continue to perform but have shown deterioration in credit quality and require close monitoring.

Modifications
A modification of a loan constitutes a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and the modification constitutes a concession. There are various types of concessions when modifying a loan, however, forgiveness of principal is rarely granted by the Company. Commercial and industrial loans modified in a TDR may involve term extensions, below market interest rates and/or interest-only payments wherein the delay in the repayment of principal is determined to be significant when all elements of the loan and circumstances are considered. Additional collateral, a co-borrower, or a guarantor is often required. Commercial mortgage and construction loans modified in a TDR often involve reducing the interest rate for the remaining term of the loan, extending the maturity date at an interest rate lower than the current market rate for new debt with similar risk, or substituting or adding a new borrower or guarantor. Construction loans modified in a TDR may also involve extending the interest-only payment period. Residential mortgage loans modified in a TDR are primarily comprised of loans where monthly payments are lowered to accommodate the borrowers’ financial needs. Land loans are typically structured as interest-only monthly payments with a balloon payment due at maturity. Land loans modified in a TDR typically involve extending the balloon payment by one to three years, and providing an interest rate concession. Home equity modifications are made infrequently and are uniquely designed to meet the specific needs of each borrower.
Loans modified in a TDR are typically already on non-accrual status and partial charge-offs have in some cases already been taken against the outstanding loan balance. As a result, loans modified in a TDR for the Company may have the financial effect of increasing the specific allowance associated with the loan. An allowance for impaired loans that have been modified in a TDR is measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s observable market price, or the estimated fair value of the collateral, less any selling costs, if the loan is collateral dependent. The Company’s practice is to re-appraise collateral dependent loans semi-annually. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, there was no impact on the allowance from TDRs during the period, as the loans classified as TDRs during the period did not have a specific reserve and were already considered impaired loans at the time of modification.
The Company closely monitors the performance of modified loans for delinquency, as delinquency is considered an early indicator of possible future default. If loans modified in a TDR subsequently default, the Company evaluates the loan for possible further impairment. The allowance may be increased, adjustments may be made in the allocation of the allowance, or partial charge-offs may be taken to further write-down the carrying value of the loan.
The following tables present TDRs as of March 31, 2012 all of which were modified due to financial stress of the borrower.

(1) | The period end balances are inclusive of all partial pay downs and charge-offs since the modification date. Loans modified in a TDR that were fully paid down, fully charged-off, or foreclosed upon by period end are not reported. |
The construction and development loan TDRs that subsequently defaulted were modified by extending the maturity date. Both loans were on non-accrual status prior to and after the TDR. The subsequent default reported above occurred during the last twelve months and were subsequently transferred to other real estate owned during the three months ended March 31, 2012. There were no other loans modified as a TDR within the previous 12 months that subsequently defaulted during the three months ended March 31, 2012.
Loans classified as TDRs are considered impaired loans. The Company had no commitments to lend additional funds for loans classified as troubled debt restructured at March 31, 2012.

Note 6 – Stock Based Compensation
Stock Options
The Company’s 2000 Stock Incentive Plan provided for incentive and non-qualified stock options and other types of stock based awards to key personnel. Under the plan, the Company was authorized to issue up to 1,100,000 shares; however the plan expired January 1, 2011. On April 27, 2011, the shareholders of the Company approved the 2011 Equity Incentive Plan, pursuant to which the Company is authorized to issue up to 900,000 shares of common stock in connection with awards under the plan.
The fair value of stock options granted is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on the following assumptions. Expected volatility is based on historical volatility of the Company’s common stock. The expected term of stock options granted is based on the simplified method, which is the simple average between contractual term and vesting period. The risk-free rate is based on the expected term of stock options and the applicable U.S. Treasury yield in effect at the time of grant. There were no options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011.
A summary of stock option activity under the stock option plans as of March 31, 2012 and 2011, and changes during the three months then ended are presented below:

The Company accounts for stock based compensation in accordance with GAAP, which requires measurement of compensation cost for all stock-based awards based on grant date fair value and recognition of compensation cost over the service period of each award. Stock-based compensation expense during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 was $4 and $6 ($3 and $4 net of tax), respectively. Future compensation expense for unvested awards outstanding as of March 31, 2012 is estimated to be $28 recognized over a weighted average period of 1.7 years. There were no options exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011.
Restricted Stock Units
On March 16, 2012, the Company granted restricted stock units (“RSU”) to certain employees receiving awards under the Company’s Annual Incentive Compensation Plan. Recipients of RSUs will be issued a specified number of shares of the Company’s common stock upon the lapse of applicable restrictions. Restrictions require the employee to continue in employment for a period of three years from the date the RSU is awarded.
The following table summarizes RSU activity during 2012. There was no RSU activity prior to 2012.

Note 7 – 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 March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 is as follows:
March 31, | December 31, | |||||||
2012 | 2011 | |||||||
Commitments to extend credit | $ | 86,090 | $ | 91,596 | ||||
Standby letters of credit | 1,356 | 1,310 |
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 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 that the underlying loans conform 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 condensed consolidated financial statements.
The Company is currently not party to any material pending litigation. However, because of the nature of its activities, the Company may be subject to or threatened with legal actions 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 8 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) – Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.” This ASU is the result of joint efforts by the FASB and International Accounting Standards Board to develop a single, converged fair value framework on how (not when) to measure fair value and what disclosures to provide about fair value measurements. The ASU is largely consistent with existing fair value measurement principles in U.S. GAAP (Topic 820), with many of the amendments made to eliminate unnecessary wording differences between U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. The amendments are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011 with prospective application required. The Company adopted the provisions of ASU No. 2011-04 effective January 1, 2012. The fair value measurement provisions had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. See Note 9 for the enhanced disclosures required by ASU No. 2011-04.
21 |
In June 2011, FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income”. This ASU will require companies to present the components of net income and other comprehensive income either as one continuous statement or as two consecutive statements. It eliminates the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders' equity. The standard does not change the items which must be reported in other comprehensive income, how such items are measured or when they must be reclassified to net income. This standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The FASB subsequently deferred the effective date of certain provisions of this standard pertaining to the reclassification of items out of accumulated other comprehensive income. A Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income has been included part of the Company’s unaudited financial statements, for the periods ended March 31, 2012 and 2011. The adoption of ASU No. 2011-05 had no impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Note 9 – Fair Value Measurements
Fair Value Hierarchy
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 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.
Investments Securities available-for-sale
The Company uses an independent pricing service to assist management in determining fair values of investment securities available-for-sale. This service provides pricing information by utilizing evaluated pricing models supported with market data information. Standard inputs include benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, credit ratings, bids and offers, relative credit information and reference data from market research publications. Investments securities that are deemed to have been trading in illiquid or inactive markets may require the use of significant unobservable inputs.
22 |
The pricing service provides quoted market prices when available. Quoted prices are not always available due to bond market inactivity. For securities where quoted prices or market prices of similar securities are not available, fair values are calculated using discounted cash flows. Discounted cash flows are calculated using spread to swap and LIBOR curves that are updated to incorporate loss severities, volatility, credit spread and optionality. Additionally, the pricing service may obtain a broker quote when sufficient information is not available to produce a valuation. Valuations and broker quotes are non-binding and do not represent quotes on which one may execute the disposition of the assets.
The Company generally obtains one value from its primary external third-party pricing service. The Company’s third-party pricing service has established processes for us to submit inquiries regarding quoted prices. The Company’s third-party pricing service will review the inputs to the evaluation in light of any new market data presented by us. The Company’s third-party pricing service may then affirm the original quoted price or may update the evaluation on a going forward basis.
On a quarterly basis, management reviews the pricing information received from the third party-pricing service through a combination of procedures that include an evaluation of methodologies used by the pricing service, analytical reviews and performance analysis of the prices against statistics and trends and maintenance of an investment watch list. Based on this review, management determines whether the current placement of the security in the fair value hierarchy is appropriate or whether transfers may be warranted. As necessary, the Company compares prices received from the pricing service to discounted cash flow models or through performing independent valuations of inputs and assumptions similar to those used by the pricing service in order to ensure prices represent a reasonable estimate of fair value. Although the Company does identify differences from time to time as a result of these validation procedures, the Company did not make any significant adjustments as of March 31, 2012 or December 31, 2011.
The following table presents the balances of assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 the Company had two investments classified as Level 3 investments which consist of local non-rated municipal bonds for which the Company is the sole owner of the entire bond issue. The valuation of these securities is supported by analysis prepared by an independent third party. Their approach to determining fair value involves using recently executed transactions for similar securities and market quotations for similar securities. As these securities are not rated by the rating agencies and there is no trading volume, Management determined that these securities should be classified as Level 3 inputs. Additionally, these securities are considered sensitive to changes in credit given the unobserved assumed credit ratings.
The following table presents a reconciliation of assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
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.
24 |
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 classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy and 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. In determining the net realizable value of the underlying collateral, we primarily rely on third party appraisals by qualified licensed appraisers, less costs to sell. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach.
Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available and include consideration for variations in location, size, and income production capacity of the property. Additionally, the appraisals are periodically further adjusted by the Company in consideration of charges that may be incurred in the event of foreclosure and are based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in business factors and changes in market conditions. Such discounts are typically significant, and may range from 10% to 25% resulting in a Level 3 classification. There were no additional adjustments made by the Company to impaired loans measured at fair value at March 31, 2012.
Impaired loans are reviewed and evaluated quarterly for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly, based on the same factors identified above. Because of the high degree of judgment required in estimating the fair value of collateral underlying impaired loans and because of the relationship between fair value and general economic conditions, we consider the fair value of impaired loans to be highly sensitive to changes in market conditions.
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. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach.
Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available and include consideration for variations in location, size, and income production capacity of the property. Additionally, the appraisals are periodically further adjusted by the Company in consideration of charges that may be incurred in the event of foreclosure and are based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in business factors and changes in market conditions. Such discounts are typically significant, and may range from 10% to 25% resulting in a Level 3 classification.
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. Because of the high degree of judgment required in estimating the fair value of OREO and because of the relationship between fair value and general economic conditions, we consider the fair value of OREO to be highly sensitive to changes in market conditions.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating the fair values of financial instruments disclosed in these consolidated financial statements:
Cash 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
The fair value of all investment securities are based upon the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the security. Such assumptions include observable and unobservable inputs such as quoted market prices, dealer quotes and analysis of discounted cash flows.
26 |
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.
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 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.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Please see Note 8 of the Company's Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements above for a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements and the likely effect on the Company.
Financial Summary
The following are significant trends reflected in the Company’s results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and financial condition as of that date:
· | Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was $1,018,000, an increase of $586,000 compared to the same period of the prior year, and represents the ninth consecutive quarter of profitability. |
· | Return on average assets and return on average equity were 0.64% and 6.35%, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2012, compared to 0.27% and 2.89%, respectively, for the same period in 2011. |
· | Net interest income of $6,050,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 increased $365,000 compared to the same period of the prior year. The increase is primarily the result of decreased funding costs. Net interest margin improved to 4.24% for the three months ended March 31, 2012, compared to 3.95% in the same period one year ago. |
· | The Bank’s tier 1 leverage ratio was 10.67% and total risk-based capital ratio was 15.55% at March 31, 2012, a slight increase from 10.35% and 15.05%, respectively, at year-end. |
30 |
· | Total assets were $644,675,000 at March 31, 2012, an increase of $3,421,000, or 0.53%, over year-end 2011. Increases in investments and interest bearing deposits with banks were the primary contributors to overall asset growth, which were partially offset by a decrease in loans. Total loans, including loans held for sale, of $479,683,000 at March 31, 2012, decreased $9,751,000, or 1.99%, compared to year-end 2011. |
· | Non-performing assets (“NPAs”) totaled $20,018,000 at March 31, 2012, which represents 3.11% of total assets, and is a decrease from $21,760,000 at December 31, 2011. The decrease is largely due to a decline in non-performing loans from $14,035,000 at year-end 2011 to $12,062,000 as of March 31, 2012. The largest reduction was in the construction and land development non-performing loan category which decreased by $2,084,000, or 37.85%, due to pay-offs. NPAs continue to be concentrated in construction and land development loans and commercial real estate loans, which represented $10,289,000, or 51.40%, of NPAs. |
· | Provision for credit losses was $100,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to $500,000 for the same period one year ago. The allowance for credit losses decreased to 2.26% of total loans (including loans held for sale) compared to 2.27% at year-end 2011. |
· | Total deposits of $550,419,000 at March 31, 2012 increased $2,369,000, or 0.43%, for the three months ended March 31, 2012, compared to December 31, 2011, primarily in commercial interest bearing demand and money market accounts, which were partially offset by decreases in non-interest bearing demand and certificates of deposit accounts. Additionally, funding costs for deposits decreased to 0.75% for the current quarter, compared to 1.20% for the same period a year ago. |
· | The Company’s liquidity ratio of approximately 43% at March 31, 2012 remains strong and translates into over $278 million in available funding to meet loan and deposit needs. |
Results of Operations
Net income. For the three months ended March 31, 2012, net income was $1,018,000, compared to $432,000 for the same period in 2011. The increase in net income in the current quarter was primarily related to increases in net interest income and gain on sale of loans and other real estate owned coupled with decreases in provision for credit losses and FDIC assessments, which were partially offset by an increase in salaries and benefits and data processing expenses.
Net interest income. Net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2012 increased $365,000 or 6.42% compared to the same period in 2011. 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 and adjusted for tax on tax-exempt securities and loans) increased to 4.24% for the three months ended March 31, 2012 from 3.95% for the same period of the prior year. The increase in the current three month period is due to a decrease in the average cost of funds to 0.85% at March 31, 2012 from 1.37% one year ago, that was only partially offset by a decline in the Company’s average yield earned on assets from 5.26% to 5.08%.

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.

(1) Interest income on loans includes loan fees of $138 and $166 in 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Interest and dividend income on a tax equivalent basis for the three months ended March 31, 2012 decreased $327,000, or 4.32%, compared to the same period in 2011. The decrease was primarily due to the decline in income earned on our loan portfolio as a result of the continued low interest rate environment. Loans averaged $480,227,000 with an average yield of 5.52% for the three months ended March 31, 2012, compared to average loans of $480,063,000 with an average yield of 5.75% for the same period in 2011. Interest and dividend income on investment securities on a tax equivalent basis for the three months ended March 31, 2012 decreased $43,000, or 6.74%, compared to the same period in 2011. 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.

Average interest earning balances with banks for the three months ended March 31, 2012 were $31,272,000 with an average yield of 0.23% compared to $39,539,000 with an average yield of 0.24% for the same period in 2011.
Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2012 decreased $696,000, or 41.43%, compared to the same period in 2011. The decrease is primarily attributable to a decrease in rates paid on deposits and junior subordinated debentures. Average interest-bearing deposit balances for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 were $440,443,000 and $454,376,000, respectively, with an average cost of 0.75% and 1.20%, respectively.
Average borrowings for the three months ended March 31, 2012 were $24,637,000 with an average cost of 2.58% compared to $35,324,000 with an average cost of 3.57% for the same period in 2011. The decrease in average borrowing balances outstanding is primarily due to the maturity of $10,500,000 in FHLB advances in the later part of 2011. The pay down in borrowings was funded by growth in lower cost demand, money market and savings deposits, further improving net interest margin.
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.
Periodic provisions for credit losses are charged to current expense to replenish the allowance for credit losses in order to maintain the allowance at a level management considers adequate. The amount of provision is 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. 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 three months ended March 31, 2012, there were no changes to the loss factors used in the allowance for credit losses. For additional information, please see the discussion under the heading “Critical Accounting Policies” in Item 7 of our 2011 10-K.
During the three months ended March 31, 2012, provision for credit losses totaled $100,000 compared to $500,000 for the same periods in 2011. The decrease in provision for credit losses in the current three-month period is due to improving credit quality as evidenced by decreases in non-performing loans and non-performing assets and a decrease in loans classified substandard and especially mentioned (OLEM). Non-performing loans decreased from $14,035,000 at December 31, 2011, to $12,062,000 at March 31, 2012. Loans classified as substandard decreased $1,212,000 from year-end 2011 to $33,358,000 at the close of the quarter, while OLEM decreased by $5,393,000 to $14,870,000.
For the three months ended March 31, 2012, net charge-offs were $364,000 compared to $343,000 for the same periods in 2011. Net charge-offs for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011 were $1,990,000. The ratio of net charge-offs to average loans outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 was 0.07% and 0.07%, respectively.
33 |
At March 31, 2012, the allowance for credit losses was $10,863,000 compared to $11,127,000 at December 31, 2011, and $10,774,000 at March 31, 2011. The decrease compared to year-end 2011 is due to continued improvement in credit quality and a decline in non-performing loans as discussed above. The ratio of the allowance for credit losses to total loans outstanding (including loans held for sale) was 2.26%, 2.34% and 2.26%, at March 31, 2012, December 31, 2011 and March 31, 2011, respectively. While the allowance for credit losses as a percentage of total loans has come down, it still remains elevated compared to historical standards and is reflective of management’s review of qualitative factors including the continued uncertainty in the economy, pervasive high unemployment rates in our geographic markets, and deterioration in real estate values, albeit at a slower pace than in the last three 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 $52,899,000, $52,928,000, and $52,836,000 at March 31, 2012, December 31, 2011 and March 31, 2011, respectively. The ratio of allowance for credit losses to total loans outstanding excluding the government guaranteed loans was 2.55%, 2.64%, and 2.55%, 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 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 quarterly 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 March 31, 2012.
Non-performing assets and other real estate owned. Non-performing assets totaled $20,018,000 at March 31, 2012. This represents 3.11% of total assets, compared to $21,760,000, or 3.39%, at December 31, 2011, and $17,506,000, or 2.74%, at March 31, 2011. Construction and land development loans and commercial real estate loans are the primary components of non-performing assets, representing $10,289,000, or 51.39%, of non-performing assets.

(1) Includes $4,676,000, $8,132,000 and $2,931,000 in non-accrual troubled debt restructured loans (“TDRs”) as of March 31, 2012, December 31, 2011 and March 31, 2011, respectively, which are also considered impaired loans.
(2) Does not include TDRs on accrual status.
(3) Excludes loans held for sale.
Non-performing loans decreased $1,973,000, or 14.1%, from the balance at December 31, 2011 due to a decrease in non-accrual construction, land development and other land loans. The level of non-performing assets is still considered elevated by historical standards and reflects the continued weakness in the real estate market and economy. The Company continues to aggressively monitor and identify non-performing assets and take action based upon available information. In addition to the increase in non-performing loans, OREO increased slightly by $231,000, or 2.99%, from the balance at December 31, 2011. While OREO balances increased, there was significant OREO activity during the current quarter, including the sale of six properties totaling $1,710,000, which resulted in gain on sale of $172,000 recognized in earnings, which was offset by new transfers, or improvements, to OREO of $1,876,000 during the quarter.
Currently, it is our practice to obtain new appraisals on non-performing collateral dependent loans and/or OREO semi-annually. Based upon the appraisal review for non-performing loans, the Company will record the loan at the lower of carrying value or fair value of collateral (less estimated 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 will not exceed the estimated value of the underlying collateral. During the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, as a result of these appraisals and other factors, the Company recorded OREO write-downs of $107,000 and $116,000, respectively, and net charge-offs of $364,000 and $343,000, respectively.
35 |
OREO at March 31, 2012 totaled $7,956,000 and consists of properties as follows: thirteen land or land development properties totaling $3,823,000, three residential construction properties totaling $887,000, eight commercial real estate properties totaling $2,312,000, and three single family residences collectively valued at $934,000. The balances are recorded at the lower of the original carrying amount of the loan or estimated net realizable value of the real estate less selling costs.
A troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) is a loan for which the terms have been modified in order to grant a concession to a borrower that is experiencing financial difficulty. Troubled debt restructurings are considered impaired loans and reported as such. For more information regarding TDRs, see Note 4-“Loans” of the condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company had troubled debt restructures totaling $4,676,000 and $8,132,000 at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, all of which were on non-accrual status at March 31, 2012. TDRs totaling $398,000 as of December 31, 2011 were accruing interest. TDRs as of March 31, 2011 were all on non-accrual status. The decrease in the current period is largely due to the transfer of $2,465,000 in previously restructured construction and land loans to other real estate owned.
Non-interest income and expense. Non-interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2012 increased by $515,000, or 38.63%, compared to the same period in 2011. The increase was the result of an increase in gain on sale of OREO of $169,000 and gain on sale of loans of $246,000. Gain on sales of loans, the largest component of non-interest income, totaled $799,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to $553,000 for the same period in 2011. The increase for the three month period is due to increased mortgage refinancing activity compared to 2011. Originations of loans held for sale were $46,131,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, compared to $30,461,000 for the same period in 2011.
Service charges on deposits for the three months ended March 31, 2012 were relatively unchanged at $413,000 compared to $414,000, for the same periods in 2011.
The Bank recorded net gains on sale of securities available-for-sale of $10,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2012, compared to $110,000 for the same periods in the prior year, which was more than offset by a decline in other-than-temporary-impairment (“OTTI”) losses. For the three months ended March 31, 2012 one non-agency mortgage-backed security was determined to be other-than-temporarily-impaired resulting in the Company recording $70,000 in impairment charges related to credit losses through earnings compared to $193,000 for the same period a year ago. As of March 31, 2012, an additional $192,000 in impairments not related to credit losses have been recorded through other comprehensive income. There were no additional OTTI securities at March 31, 2012 or December 31, 2011.
Total non-interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2012 increased $457,000, or 7.44% compared to the same period in 2011. The increase was mostly related to increases in salary and employee benefit costs and data processing expenses, which were partially offset by reductions in FDIC assessments and occupancy and equipment expenses. Salaries and employee benefits for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 were $3,758,000 and $3,428,000, respectively. The increase is mostly related to annual performance and merit increases, as well as an increase in health insurance premiums. Full time equivalent employees at March 31, 2012 were 221 compared to 223 at March 31, 2011.
36 |
Income taxes. The federal income tax expense (benefit) for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was $181,000 as compared to ($56,000) for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was 15.1%. 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.
Financial Condition
Assets. Total assets were $644,675,000 at March 31, 2012, an increase of $3,421,000, or 0.53%, over year-end 2011. Increases in interest bearing deposits with banks and investments were the primary contributors to overall asset growth, which were partially offset by a decrease in loans.
Investments. The investment portfolio provides the Company with an income alternative to loans. The Company’s investment portfolio at March 31, 2012 was $56,512,000 compared to $54,677,000 at the end of 2011, an increase of $1,835,000, or 3.36%, due to investments in municipal and corporate bond securities as an alternative to cash. For additional information on investments, see Note 3 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in "Item 1, Financial Statements."
Loans. Total loans, including loans held for sale, decreased $9,751,000, or 2.00%, to $479,683,000 at March 31, 2012, compared to $489,434,000 at December 31, 2011. The decrease in loans was primarily due to a decline of $10,655,000 in commercial real estate loans which was largely a result of continued loan payoffs prior to maturity, which the Company believes are reflective of the current low interest rate environment and economic conditions. This decline, together with smaller declines in residential loans, offset a modest increase in commercial and industrial loans. Loan detail by category, including loans held for sale, as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 follows (in thousands):

Interest and fees earned on our loan portfolio is our primary source of revenue. Gross loans represented 74% of total assets as of March 31, 2012, compared to 76% at December 31, 2011. 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 larger businesses for purposes ranging from working capital needs to term financing of equipment.
37 |
The commercial real estate loan category constitutes 44% 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. It is our strategic plan to seek growth in commercial and small business loans where available and owner occupied commercial real estate loans.
We remain aggressive in managing our construction loan and land development portfolios. While these segments have historically played a significant role in our loan portfolio, balances have declined over the last three years. Construction and land development loans represented 9.7% and 9.6% of our loan portfolio at March 31, 2012 and at December 31, 2011, respectively. We believe this segment will remain challenged through 2012, although to a lesser extent than the previous three years.
The Bank is not engaging in new land acquisition and development financing. Limited residential speculative construction financing is being provided for a select group of borrowers that 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 guidelines of 100% and 300% of risk based capital, respectively, which was completed in the first quarter of 2010. As of March 31, 2012, concentration in commercial real estate as a percentage of risk based capital stood at 210% and concentration in land and residential construction as a percentage of risk-based capital was 44%.
Deposits. Total deposits were $550,419,000 at March 31, 2012, an increase of $2,369,000, or 0.43%, compared to December 31, 2011. Deposit detail by category as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 follows (in thousands):
March 31, 2012 | December 31, 2011 | |||||||
Demand, non-interest bearing | $ | 98,286 | $ | 108,899 | ||||
Interest bearing demand | 132,133 | 122,160 | ||||||
Money market | 103,775 | 99,031 | ||||||

Time, interest bearing | 149,298 | 152,509 | ||||||
Total deposits | $ | 550,419 | $ | 548,050 |
Non-interest bearing demand deposits decreased $10,613,000, or 9.75%, which is consistent with the cyclical pattern of our commercial customers which draw on cash reserves during the winter months. Interest bearing demand, money market and savings accounts all increased as of March 31, 2012 compared to year-end 2011 largely in public and Indian nation deposits. In total, non-maturity deposits (total deposits less time deposits) increased $5,580,000, or 1.41%.
38 |
Time deposits decreased $3,211,000, or 2.11%, due to our commitment to maintain a disciplined pricing strategy, focusing on enhancing long-term customer relationships rather than on rate sensitive customers. As a result, the percentage of time certificates of deposit to total deposits decreased to 27.1% at March 31, 2012, from 27.8% at December 31, 2011, which favorably impacted net interest margin.
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. 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 which are used to make loans, acquire investment securities and other assets, and fund continuing operations. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans are a predictable source of funds, deposit flows and prepayments are greatly influenced by the level of interest rates, economic conditions, and competition. In addition to customer deposits, when necessary, liquidity can be increased by taking advances from credit available to the Bank.
The Bank’s liquidity position at March 31, 2012, includes $51.2 million in cash and interest bearing deposits with banks and $59.5 million in investments classified as available-for-sale. We generally maintain sufficient cash and short-term investments to meet short-term liquidity needs. In addition, the Bank maintains credit facilities with correspondent banks totaling $16,000,000, of which none was used as of March 31, 2012. The Bank also has a credit line with the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) of Seattle for up to 20% of assets, of which $10,500,000 was used at March 31, 2012. Based on current pledged collateral, the Bank had $112.5 million of available borrowing capacity on its line at the FHLB, although each advance is subject to prior consent. The Bank also has a borrowing facility of $50.9 million at the Federal Reserve Bank subject to pledged collateral, of which none was used at March 31, 2012. Borrowings may be used on a short-term basis to compensate for reductions in deposits, but are generally not considered a long-term solution to liquidity needs.
The holding company relies on dividends from the Bank, proceeds from the exercise of stock options, and proceeds from the issuance of shares of common stock for its funds, which are used for various corporate purposes. Dividends from the Bank are the holding company's most important source of funds, and are subject to regulatory restrictions and the capital needs of the Bank, which are always primary. Sales of trust preferred securities (“TRUPs”) have historically also been a source of liquidity for the holding company and capital for both the holding company and the Bank; however, we have not issued TRUPs since 2006 and do not anticipate TRUPs will be a source of liquidity in 2012 or beyond. The Company and the Bank are subject to certain restrictions on the payment of dividends without prior regulatory approval.
At March 31, 2012, 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 March 31, 2012, deferred interest totaled $1,327,000 and is included in accrued interest payable on the balance sheet.

Capital. 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 guidelines, banks must have a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 5%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital 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 capital ratios for the Company and the Bank at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, were as follows:
Company | Bank | Requirements | ||||||||||||||||||||||
March 31, 2012 | December 31, 2011 | March 31, 2012 | December 31, 2011 | Adequately Capitalized | Well Capitalized | |||||||||||||||||||
Tier 1 leverage ratio | 10.47 | % | 10.18 | % | 10.67 | % | 10.35 | % | 4 | % | 5 | % | ||||||||||||
Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio | 14.03 | % | 13.56 | % | 14.29 | % | 13.79 | % | 4 | % | 6 | % | ||||||||||||
Total risk-based capital ratio | 15.29 | % | 14.82 | % | 15.55 | % | 15.05 | % | 8 | % | 10 | % |
Total shareholders' equity was $64,284,000 at March 31, 2012, an increase of $1,014,000, or 1.60%, compared to December 31, 2011.
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 modeling environment, which generally depicts a worst-case situation. Management has assessed the results of the simulation
reports as of March 31, 2012 and believes that there has been no material change since December 31, 2011.
