PACIFIC FINANCIAL CORPORATION
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
As of and for the 3 months ended March 31, 2014
(Unaudited)
(Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)
NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization – Pacific Financial Corporation (the “Company” or “Pacific”) is a bank holding company headquartered in Aberdeen, Washington. The Company owns one bank, Bank of the Pacific (the “Bank”), which is also located in Washington. The Company was incorporated in the State of Washington in February, 1997, pursuant to a holding company reorganization of the Bank.
The Company conducts its banking business through the Bank, which operates 16 branches located in communities in Grays Harbor, Pacific, Whatcom, Skagit and Wahkiakum counties in the state of Washington and three in Clatsop County, Oregon. In addition, the Bank operates three loan production offices in Burlington, Dupont and Vancouver, Washington and has a residential real estate mortgage department. During second quarter 2013, the Bank completed the acquisition of three branches from Sterling Savings Bank. Total deposits assumed were $37,634,000 and loans acquired totaled $3,989,000. Of the three branches purchased, two were consolidated into existing Pacific branches to maximize branch efficiencies resulting in one new branch in Astoria, Oregon. Separately, the Company opened a full-service branch in Warrenton, Oregon in October 2013 that further expands operations on the northern Oregon coast.
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, 2014, are not necessarily indicative of the results anticipated for the year ending December 31, 2014. Certain information and footnote disclosures included in the Company's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013, 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, 2013 (the “2013 Annual Report”).
Basis of presentation – The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Bank of the Pacific and its wholly-owned subsidiary. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The interim consolidated financial statements are not audited, but include all adjustments that Management considers necessary for a fair presentation of consolidated financial condition and results of operations for the interim periods presented.
Method of accounting and use of estimates – The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and prevailing practices within the banking industry. This requires Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates made by Management involve the calculation of the allowance for loan losses, impaired loans, the fair value of available-for-sale investment securities, deferred tax assets, and the value of other real estate owned and foreclosed assets.
The Company utilizes the accrual method of accounting, which recognizes income when earned and expenses when incurred.
In preparing these financial statements, the Company has evaluated events and transactions subsequent to March 31, 2014, for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. In Management’s opinion, all accounting adjustments necessary to accurately reflect the financial position and results of operations on the accompanying financial statements have been made. These adjustments include normal and recurring accruals considered necessary for a fair and accurate presentation.
Cash dividends – No cash dividends were declared in the quarter ended March 31, 2014.

NOTE 2 – EARNINGS PER SHARE
The Company’s basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders (net income less dividends declared by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period). The Company’s diluted earnings per common share is computed similar to basic earnings per common share except that the numerator is equal to net income (available to common shareholders) and the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued. Included in the denominator are the dilutive effects of stock options computed under the treasury stock method and outstanding warrants as if converted to common stock.
The following table illustrates the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share.

As of March 31, 2014 and 2013, the shares subject to outstanding options and the shares subject to outstanding warrants had 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.

At March 31, 2014, there were 76 investment securities in an unrealized loss position, of which 22 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, 2014, 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, 2014 and 2013, one non-agency MBS was determined to be other-than-temporarily-impaired resulting in the Company recording $45 and $0, respectively, in impairments related to credit losses through earnings.
The following table presents the cash proceeds from the sales of securities and their associated gross realized gains and gross realized losses that are included in earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013:

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 own any sovereign debt of Eurozone nations or structured financial products, such as collateralized debt obligations or structured investment vehicles, which are known by the Company to have elevated risk characteristics.

The amortized cost and estimated fair value of investment securities at March 31, 2014, by maturity are shown below. The amortized cost and fair value of collateralized mortgage obligations and mortgage-backed securities are presented by expected average life, rather than contractual maturity. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to prepay underlying loans without prepayment penalties.

At March 31, 2014, investment securities with an estimated fair value of $58.6 million were pledged to secure public deposits, certain nonpublic deposits and borrowings.
As required of all members of the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) system, the Company maintains an investment in the capital stock of the FHLB in an amount equal to the greater of $500 or 0.5% of home mortgage loans and pass-through securities plus 5.0% of the outstanding balance of mortgage home loans sold to FHLB under the Mortgage Purchase Program. The FHLB system, the largest government sponsored entity in the United States, is made up of 12 regional banks, including the FHLB of Seattle. Participating banks record the value of FHLB stock equal to its par value at $100 per share. At March 31, 2014, the Company held approximately $3.0 million in FHLB stock.
The Company is required to hold FHLB’s stock in order to receive advances and views this investment as long-term. Thus, when evaluating it for impairment, the value is determined based on the recovery of the par value through redemption by the FHLB or from the sale to another member, rather than by recognizing temporary declines in value. The FHLB of Seattle disclosed that it reported net income for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2013. On November 22, 2013, the FHLB of Seattle entered into an amended Stipulation and Consent to the Issuance of a Consent Order with the Federal Housing Finance Agency (“Finance Agency”), modifying the previous order issued on October 25, 2010. The Finance Agency now deems the FHLB of Seattle to be “adequately capitalized”, under the Finance Agency’s Prompt Corrective Action rule. The Company has concluded that its investment in FHLB is not impaired as of March 31, 2014, and believes that it will ultimately recover the par value of its investment in this stock.

Allowance for losses and credit quality
The allowance for loan losses represents the Company’s estimate as to the probable credit losses inherent in its loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses is increased through periodic charges to earnings through provision for loan losses and represents the aggregate amount, net of loans charged-off and recoveries on previously charged-off loans, that is needed to establish an appropriate reserve for credit losses. The allowance is estimated based on a variety of factors and using a methodology as described below:
· | The Company classifies loans into relatively homogeneous pools by loan type in accordance with regulatory guidelines for regulatory reporting purposes. The Company regularly reviews all loans within each loan category to establish risk ratings for them that include Pass, Watch, Special Mention, Substandard, Doubtful and Loss. Pursuant to “Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan”, the impaired portion of collateral dependent loans is charged-off. Other risk-related loans not considered impaired have loss factors applied to the various loan pool balances to establish loss potential for provisioning purposes. |
· | Analyses are performed to establish the loss factors based on historical experience, as well as expected losses based on qualitative evaluations of such factors as the economic trends and conditions, industry conditions, levels and trends in delinquencies and impaired loans, levels and trends in charge-offs and recoveries, among others. The loss factors are applied to loan category pools segregated by risk classification to estimate the loss inherent in the Company’s loan portfolio pursuant to “Accounting for Contingencies.” |
· | Additionally, impaired loans are evaluated for loss potential on an individual basis in accordance with “Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan,” and specific reserves are established based on thorough analysis of collateral values where loss potential exists. When an impaired loan is collateral dependent and a deficiency exists in the fair value of collateral securing the loan in comparison to the associated loan balance, the deficiency is charged-off at that time or a specific reserve is established. Impaired loans are reviewed no less frequently than quarterly. |
· | In the event that a current appraisal to support the fair value of the real estate collateral underlying an impaired loan has not yet been received, but the Company believes that the collateral value is insufficient to support the loan amount, an impairment reserve is recorded. In these instances, the receipt of a current appraisal triggers an updated review of the collateral support for the loan and any deficiency is charged-off or reserved at that time. In those instances where a current appraisal is not available in a timely manner in relation to a financial reporting cut-off date, the Company discounts the most recent third-party appraisal depending on a number of factors including, but not limited to, property location, local price volatility, local economic conditions, and recent comparable sales. In all cases, the costs to sell the subject property are deducted in arriving at the fair value of the collateral. |

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. 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 every six to nine months. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, 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 and no further impairment was required upon modification.
18 |
The Company closely monitors the performance of modified loans for delinquency, as delinquency is considered an early indicator of possible future default. 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 table presents TDRs for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, all of which were modified due to financial stress of the borrower.

NOTE 6 – STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
The Company’s 2011 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (the “2011 Plan”), provides for the issuance of up to 900,000 shares in connection with incentive and nonqualified stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units and other equity-based awards. Prior to adoption of the 2011 Plan, the Company made equity-based awards under the Company’s 2000 Stock Incentive Plan, which expired January 1, 2011.
Stock Options
The 2011 Plan authorizes the issuance of incentive and non-qualified stock options, as defined under current tax laws, to key personnel. Options granted under the 2011 Plan either become exercisable ratably over five years or in a single installment five years from the date of grant.
The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the fair value of stock option awards based on assumptions 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.

NOTE 7 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, the Bank of the Pacific (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, 2014 and December 31, 2013 is as follows:
(Dollars in Thousands) | ||||||||
March 31, 2014 | December 31, 2013 | |||||||
Commitments to extend credit | $ | 101,003 | $ | 106,017 | ||||
Standby letters of credit | $ | 1,544 | $ | 1,733 |
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 – 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.
26 |
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.
Investment 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 based 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. Investment securities that are deemed to have been trading in illiquid or inactive markets may require the use of significant unobservable inputs.
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 analyses 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, 2014 or December 31, 2013.

As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had three 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 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 within the fair value hierarchy. 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, 2014 and 2013, respectively. There were no transfers of assets into or out of Level 1, 2 or 3 for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

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:
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 consider 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. The income approach commonly utilizes a discount or cap rate to determine the present value of expected future cash flows. 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 30%.
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 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 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%.
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 Certificates held for investment
The carrying amounts of cash, interest bearing deposits at other financial institutions 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.
30 |
Federal Home Loan Bank Stock
FHLB stock is carried at cost which approximates fair value and equals its par value because the shares can only be redeemed with the FHLB at par.
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.
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.

NOTE 9 – JUNIOR SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES
At March 31, 2014, two wholly-owned subsidiary grantor trusts established by the Company had outstanding $13,000 of Trust Preferred Securities (“trust preferred securities”). Trust preferred securities accrue and pay distributions periodically at specified annual rates as provided in the indentures. The trusts used the net proceeds from the offering of trust preferred securities to purchase a like amount of Junior Subordinated Debentures (the “Debentures”) of the Company. The Debentures are the sole assets of the trusts. The Company’s obligations under the Debentures and the related documents, taken together, constitute a full and unconditional guarantee by the Company of the obligations of the trusts. The trust preferred securities are mandatorily redeemable upon the maturity of the Debentures, or upon earlier redemption as provided in the indentures. The Company has the right to redeem the Debentures in whole or in part, at a redemption price specified in the indentures plus any accrued but unpaid interest to the redemption date.
The Debentures issued by the Company to the grantor trusts totaling $13,000 are reflected in the consolidated balance sheet in the liabilities section under the caption “junior subordinated debentures.” The Company records interest expense on the corresponding junior subordinated debentures in the consolidated statements of income. The Company recorded $403 in the consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2014 for the common capital securities issued by the issuer trusts.
32 |
As of March 31, 2014, regular accrued interest on junior subordinated debentures totaled $38 and is included in accrued interest payable on the balance sheet.

NOTE 10 – RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In July 2013, FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11, "Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists." The provisions of ASU No. 2013-11 require an entity to present an unrecognized tax benefit, or portion thereof, in the statement of financial position as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward or a tax credit carryforward, with certain exceptions related to availability. ASU No. 2013-11 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of ASU No. 2013-11 has not had a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.
NOTE 11 – BUSINESS COMBINATION
On January 28, 2013, the Bank and Sterling Savings Bank, a Washington state-chartered bank (“Sterling”), entered into a Purchase and Assumption Agreement (the “Agreement”) pursuant to which the Bank agreed to purchase from Sterling three branches located in Aberdeen, Washington; Astoria, Oregon; and Seaside, Oregon, including certain deposit liabilities, loans and other assets and liabilities associated with such branch locations. The actual amount of loans and deposits, the value of other assets and liabilities transferred to the Bank and the actual price paid were determined at the time of the closing of the transaction on June 1, 2013, in accordance with the terms of the Agreement. The purchase price was $976 and exceeded the estimated fair value of tangible net assets acquired by approximately $1,127, which was recorded as goodwill and intangible assets.
Cash flow information relative to the asset purchase agreement is as follows (in thousands):
Fair value of tangible net assets acquired | $ | 37,533 | ||
Cash paid for deposit premium | (976 | ) | ||
Liabilities assumed | (37,684 | ) | ||
Goodwill and intangible assets recorded | $ | 1,127 |
The primary purpose of the acquisition is to expand the Company’s market share in the northern Oregon coast, to provide existing customers with added convenience and service, and to provide our new customers with the opportunity to enjoy the outstanding personalized service and commitment of our community-based bank.
33 |
Fair value adjustments and related goodwill were recorded in the statement of financial condition of the Company. The following is a condensed balance sheet disclosing the estimated fair value amounts of the acquired branches of Sterling assigned to the major consolidated asset and liability captions at the acquisition date (in thousands):
Cash and cash equivalents | $ | 31,941 | ||
Loans receivable | 3,989 | |||
Premises and equipment | 604 | |||
Goodwill and intangible assets | 1,127 | |||
Other assets | 23 | |||

Deferred tax liability | 47 | |||
Other liabilities | 1 | |||
Equity | - - | |||
Total liabilities and shareholders’ equity | $ | 37,684 |
The core deposit intangible asset that was recognized as part of the business combination was $242 and will be amortized over its estimated useful life of approximately ten years utilizing an accelerated method. The goodwill of $885 will not be amortized for financial statement purposes; instead, it will be reviewed annually for impairment.
The fair value of savings and transaction deposit accounts acquired from Sterling was assumed to approximate the carrying value as these accounts have no stated maturity and are payable on demand. Certificates of deposit were valued by comparing the contractual cost of the portfolio to an identical portfolio bearing current market rates. The projected cash flows from maturing certificates were calculated based on contractual rates. The fair value of certificates of deposit was calculated by discounting their contractual cash flows at a market rate for a certificate of deposit with a corresponding maturity.
Direct costs related to the Sterling acquisition were expensed as incurred in the year ended December 31, 2013. These acquisition and integration expenses included salaries and benefits, technology and communications, occupancy and equipment, professional services and other noninterest expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company incurred $615,000 of expenses related to acquisition costs.

35 |
• | Net interest margin (NIM) expanded 29 basis points to 4.27% from 3.98% in the preceding quarter and improved 26 basis points compared to 4.01% for the first quarter of 2013. The expansion in NIM reflects higher yielding loan assets and the collection of interest from non-accrual loans. |
• | Total assets increased to $717.4 million at March 31, 2014, compared to $705.0 million at December 31, 2013, and $664.3 million at March 31, 2013. |
• | Gross loans increased 3% to $526.5 million at March 31, 2014, compared to $512.4 million at December 31, 2013 and grew 9% from $483.1 million at March 31, 2013. |
• | Nonperforming assets declined to $9.7 million, or 1.35% of total assets, at March 31, 2014, compared to $10.0 million, or 1.42% of total assets in the preceding quarter, and $17.3 million, or 2.61% of total assets at March 31, 2013. Classified loans increased to $16.8 million, or 3.23% of gross loans, at March 31, 2014, due to the downgrade of two commercial real estate loans totaling $4.3 million. Classified loans totaled $12.8 million, or 2.52% of gross loans at December 31, 2013, compared to $21.7 million at March 31, 2013. |
• | Net charge-offs totaled $71,000 for the first quarter 2014, compared to $446,000 in the preceding quarter and $10,000 for first quarter 2013. The ratio of loans on accruing status 30 – 89 days delinquent to total loans remained low at 0.15%, at March 31, 2014, compared to 0.28% for the preceding quarter and 0.27% for March 31, 2013. |
• | Allowance for loan losses (“ALL”) was 1.60% of gross loans at March 31, 2014, compared to 1.65% of gross loans, at December 31, 2013, and 1.98% of gross loans at March 31, 2013. The decline in ALL from the year ago quarter reflects the general improvement in credit metrics. |
• | Reflecting the improving mix of deposits, the average cost of deposits and borrowings fell 2 basis points to 0.44%, from 0.46% in fourth quarter 2013, and dropped 17 basis points from 0.61% in first quarter 2013. |
• | Capital levels exceeded regulatory requirements for a well-capitalized financial institution, with a total risk-based capital ratio of 13.88% and a leverage ratio of 10.02%, at quarter end. |

• | Implemented an established succession plan with the appointment of Denise Portmann as President & CEO of Bank of the Pacific and Director of Pacific Financial Corporation; hired seasoned financial executive, Douglas N. Biddle as Chief Financial Officer of Bank of the Pacific, and appointed highly-respected business leader Lori Reece to the Board Directors of Pacific Financial Corporation. |
• | Added experienced and well-respected commercial banking professionals in the Whatcom and Clark Counties, WA markets. |
• | Applied for regulatory approval to convert our Vancouver, WA loan production office to a full-service branch. |
• | Expanded convenience and technology to our customers through the unveiling of mobile deposit via smart phone. |
• | Achieved sustained reductions in other-real-estate-owned, resulting in continued declines in nonperforming assets to total assets. |
• | Reduced personnel costs associated with residential mortgage lending activities commensurate with the decline in this business line. |
OPERATING RESULTS
Overview
Net interest income for first quarter 2014 increased from the fourth quarter 2013 and the first quarter in the prior year. This increase was primarily due to the growth in earning assets. Changes in the balance sheet mix also contributed to increases in net interest income during these periods. Loan balances increased due to the production generated predominately within the Company’s primary market area of Western Washington. Investment securities and fed funds sold declined as a proportion of the balance sheet in first quarter 2014, due to the strong loan demand during the past two quarters. Funding costs declined further due to the shift in mix toward non-interest bearing and lower-cost deposits. As a result, the net interest margin improved during the quarter. Non-interest income continued to decrease, primarily due to the reduction in income associated with residential real estate lending. Correspondingly, non-interest expenses declined compared to the first quarter of 2013, mainly as a result of a reduction in personnel costs related to residential real estate lending.

Noninterest Income
Noninterest income for the first quarter 2014 was down compared to the fourth quarter 2013 and first quarter 2013. Service charge income on deposit accounts remained relatively unchanged during these periods. Gains on sale of residential mortgage loans and related fee income continued to decline with the significant pullback in mortgage activity due to the rapid rise in interest rates beginning in mid-2013. In addition, gains on sales of securities were taken in the first quarter of 2014 and 2013 for the purpose of adjusting the mix of securities to mitigate the impact of changes in market rates on the value of the portfolio. A small OTTI impairment charge was expensed during first quarter 2014 to reflect a reduction in fair value of a private-label CMO investment security.

Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2014, declined compared to fourth quarter 2013, primarily due to decreases in OREO write-downs and expenses and professional service costs associated with credit resolution activities. These declines were partially offset by increases in payroll taxes normally experienced at the beginning of a calendar year and annual salary increases granted during the quarter. In addition, other noninterest expense grew primarily due to one-time costs associated with internet banking upgrades. Noninterest expense for first quarter 2014 also declined versus the quarter ended March 31, 2013. This decrease was primarily due to a reduction of $471,000 in personnel costs associated with the decline in residential real estate loan activity referred to above. Total costs associated with OREO and related third-party loan expenses also decreased due to the decline in OREO balances and stabilization in real estate valuations. This was partially offset by an increase in occupancy and equipment expense primarily associated with the acquisition of three branches from Sterling Savings Bank in June 2013 and the opening of the Warrenton, OR branch in October 2013. Professional services expenses for first quarter 2014 were below those incurred in first quarter 2013, primarily due to legal costs related to the branch acquisition.

Income Taxes
The Company recorded an income tax provision for the three months ended March 31, 2014, December 31, 2013, and March 31, 2013. The amount of the provision for each period was commensurate with the estimated tax liability associated with the pre-tax net income earned during the period.
As of March 31, 2014, the Company maintained a deferred tax asset balance of $4.1 million. The Company believes it will be fully utilized in the normal course of business, thus no valuation allowance is maintained against this asset.

The Company’s liquidity position remains strong as evidenced by its current level of combined cash equivalents and investment securities. In an effort to support its net interest income and margin, the Company has reduced its cash equivalents balances, while increasing its investment securities portfolio, since March 31, 2013, primarily through the purchase of U.S. government agency and government guaranteed mortgage-backed securities. The purchases were primarily of 10 and 15-year fully amortizing U.S. agency mortgage-backed securities, for which we expect to have limited extension risk. Municipal securities rated AA or better with maturities generally ranging from 5 to 15 years were also purchased during this period. The expected modified duration (adjusted for calls, consensus pre-payment speeds and rate adjustment dates) of the investment portfolio was 4.2 years at March 31, 2014, 4.2 years at December 31, 2013 and 4.1 years at March 31, 2013.

LOANS
Loan portfolio growth continues to be well diversified, with higher balances in most lending categories, with the exception of construction and development and farmland. The recent loan growth was generated predominately within our Western Washington market. The portfolio does include $36.2 million in purchased government-guaranteed commercial and commercial real estate loans. In addition, the portfolio contains $14.1 million in indirect consumer loans to finance luxury and classic cars as a part of a strategy to diversify the loan portfolio. These loans are to individuals with high credit scores and have exhibited very low loss experience.
Interest and fees earned on our loan portfolio are our primary source of revenue. Our ability to achieve loan growth will be dependent on many factors, including the effects of competition, economic conditions in our markets, retention of key personnel and valued customers, and our ability to close loans in the pipeline. The Company manages new loan origination volume using concentration limits that establish maximum exposure levels by designated industry segment, real estate product types, geography, and single borrower limits.

Commercial real estate markets continue to be vulnerable to financial and valuation pressures that may limit refinance options and negatively impact borrowers’ ability to perform under existing loan agreements. Declining values of commercial real estate or higher market interest rates may have a further adverse impact on the ability of borrowers with maturing loans to satisfy loan to value ratios required to renew such loans.
At March 31, 2014, the Bank had outstanding loan advances of $3.8 million to persons serving as directors, executive officers, principal stockholders and their related interests. This compares to $66,000 and $342,000 at December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2013, respectively. These loans were made in the ordinary course of business on substantially the same terms, including interest rates, maturities and collateral, as comparable loans made to customers not related to the Bank. None of these loans were on nonaccrual, past due or restructured as of March 31, 2014.

DEPOSITS
Total deposits grew during first quarter 2014, a trend that continued from recent quarters. This increase is due to recent success in acquiring business deposit relationships in conjunction with the growth in lending achieved over the past year. Time deposits declined as a percentage of total deposits in the most recent quarter versus the linked quarter and the like quarter last year. The combination of our efforts to reduce higher-cost time deposits through lowering interest rates paid and offering non-insured deposit products, when appropriate, has reduced the average rate paid on total deposits in first quarter 2014 from fourth quarter 2013 and the like quarter in 2013.
Total brokered deposits were $24.2 million at March 31, 2014, which included $3.3 million via reciprocal deposit arrangements. In addition, the Company’s funding structure contains $10.0 million in borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank. The Company views the prudent use of brokered deposits and borrowings to be an appropriate funding tool to support interest rate risk mitigation strategies.

CAPITAL
Pacific Financial Corporation, and its subsidiary Bank of the Pacific, met the thresholds to be considered “Well-Capitalized” under published regulatory standards for total risk-based capital, Tier 1 risk-based capital and Tier 1 leverage capital at March 31, 2014. Capital ratios have reduced slightly as compared to the linked quarter and the first quarter of 2013, primarily due to the successful execution of the Company’s growth strategy and shift in the balance sheet mix to higher risk-weighted assets, such as loans.
The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (“Federal Reserve”) and the FDIC have established minimum requirements for capital adequacy for bank holding companies and state non-member banks. For more information on these topics and the proposed Basel III capital framework, see the discussions under the subheadings “Capital Adequacy” in the section “Business” included in Item 1, of the Company’s 2013 Form 10-K. The following table summarizes the capital measures of the Company and the Bank, respectively, at the dates listed below:
The total risk based capital ratios of the Company include $13.4 million of junior subordinated debentures, all of which qualified as Tier 1 capital at March 31, 2014, under guidance issued by the Federal Reserve. As provided in the Dodd-Frank Act, the Company expects to continue to rely on these junior subordinated debentures as part of its regulatory capital.

Net Interest Margin
Net interest margin for first quarter 2014 increased as compared to fourth quarter and first quarter 2013, predominantly due to a shift in the mix of earning assets toward higher-yielding loans. The margin was also favorably impacted by the lower cost of interest bearing liabilities, as previously discussed. The growth in the proportion of noninterest bearing deposits over the past several quarters has supported the improvement in net interest margin, as well. In first quarter 2014, loan yields and net interest margin were enhanced by 7 basis points, respectively due to the collection of a net of $108,000 in non-accrual interest. Despite this one-time recapture of interest, we have been able to sustain loan yields while growing the loan portfolio. The improvement in yields on investment securities also contributed to the increase in net interest margin between the periods, partially due to the decline in amortization expense associated with the decrease in prepayment speeds of mortgage-backed securities during the current period. In addition, we reduced the proportion of lower yielding cash-equivalent investments and increased the proportion of relatively higher-yielding federal government guaranteed and municipal securities, as noted above.

Non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations, are not required to be uniformly applied, and are not audited.
Management believes that presentation of this non-GAAP measure provides useful information frequently used by shareholders in the evaluation of a company.
Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analyses of results as reported under GAAP.
(1) Non-accrual loans of approximately $7.3 million at 3/31/14, $7.2 million at 12/31/2013, and $13.1 million for 3/31/2013 are included in the average loan balances.
(2) Loan interest income includes loan fee income of $149,000, $151,000, and $95,000 for the three months ended 3/31/2014, 12/31/2013, and 3/31/2013, respectively.
(3) Tax-exempt income has been adjusted to a tax equivalent basis at a 34% effective rate. The amount of such adjustment was an addition to recorded pre-tax income of $164,000, $168,000, and $194,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014, December 31, 2013, and March 31, 2013, respectively.

The following table shows the quarter to quarter change in net interest income due to rate or volume. The continued reduction in higher-cost time deposits has resulted in a decline in interest expense, from both a reduction in volume and rates paid on these deposits. Deleveraging on the asset side of the balance sheet has been through the reduction of loan balances. This has resulted in a decrease in loan interest income primarily due to a decline in loan volume, rather than any changes in yields. The decrease in interest income was partially mitigated by both improved yield on investment securities in the current quarter and increased volume as compared to the same quarter in the previous year.

ASSET QUALITY
Classified loans increased at March 31, 2014, as compared to December 31, 2013, primarily due to the downgrade of two commercial real estate relationships totaling $4.3 million. However classified loans decreased as compared to March 31, 2013, primarily from upgrades, payoffs and transfers to OREO. Nonperforming loans have continued to be primarily in the commercial real estate loan category.
We monitor delinquencies, defined as loans on accruing status 30-89 days past due, as an indicator of future classified and nonperforming assets. Delinquencies of loans on accruing status 30-89 days past-due remained below 0.50%, mirroring the improvement in overall credit quality noted previously.
At March 31, 2014, total nonperforming assets were down compared to December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2013. Nonperforming assets also declined during this period in terms of percentage of total assets. The amount of additions to nonperforming loans in the current period of approximately $508,000 were virtually offset by pay offs and charge-offs during the period. As such, nonperforming loans remained relatively unchanged in the current quarter as compared to the linked quarter, but were below levels at March 31, 2013. Reductions in nonperforming assets continued primarily through sales of OREO, as write-downs were minimal during the period. Nonperforming assets include a $1.8 million commercial real estate loan supported 100% by a government guarantee.

* Adversely classified loans are defined as loans having a well-defined weakness or weaknesses related to the borrower's financial capacity or to pledged collateral that may jeopardize the repayment of the debt. They are characterized by the possibility that the Bank may sustain some loss if the deficiencies giving rise to the substandard classification are not corrected. Note that any loans internally rated worse than substandard are included in the impaired loan totals.

OREO property disposition activities continued during first quarter 2014, while the level of additional real estate properties taken into the OREO portfolio continued to decline. During first quarter 2014, the Company sold OREO properties with a book value of $448,000, but recorded OREO valuation adjustments lower than that of prior quarters. At March 31, 2014, the OREO portfolio consisted of 18 properties, down in number and balance from both the fourth and first quarters of 2013. The largest balances in the OREO portfolio at the end of the quarter were attributable to commercial properties, followed by residential properties, all of which are located within our market area.

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
The allowance for loan losses continues to decline in concert with the general trend of reduced levels of classified loans, loan delinquencies and other relevant credit metrics. With the reduction in net charge-offs, changes in the loan portfolio composition over the past several years and overall improvement in credit quality, loss factors used in estimates to establish reserve levels have declined commensurately. As such, no provision was made to the allowance for loan losses in first quarter 2014, fourth quarter 2013 or first quarter 2013.
For the quarter ended March 31, 2014, total net loan charge-offs were down compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2013, but up slightly versus the quarter ended March 31, 2013. The charge-offs incurred in the fourth quarter 2013 were primarily centered in three residential real estate relationships. Two of these charge-offs were home equity lines of credit totaling $181,000 to unrelated individuals. The other charge-off relationship included two loans totaling $128,000. The ratio of net loan charge-offs to average gross loans (annualized) for the current quarter was down compared to the linked quarter, but up slightly compared to the first quarter one year ago.
The overall risk profile of the loan portfolio continues to improve, as stated above. However, the trend of future provision for loan losses will depend primarily on economic conditions, growth in the loan portfolio, level of adversely-classified assets, and changes in collateral values.

An allowance for loan losses has been established based on management’s best estimate, as of the balance sheet date, of probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio. For more information regarding the Company’s allowance for loan losses and net loan charge-offs, see the discussion under the subheadings “Loans Receivable” and “Allowance for Credit Losses” included in Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and “Loans” included in Note 4 of the Company’s interim financials as presented in this Form 10-Q and audited financial statements as presented in its 2013 Form10-K.
Overall, we believe that the allowance for loan losses is adequate to absorb probable losses in the loan portfolio at March 31, 2014, although there can be no assurance that future loan losses will not exceed our current estimates. The process for determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is critical to our financial results. Please refer to Item 1A “Risk Factors” in our 2013 Form 10-K for further information.
Liquidity and Sources of Funds
The Bank’s sources of funds include core deposits, loan repayments, advances from the FHLB or the Federal Reserve Bank discount window, brokered deposits, maturities of investment securities, sales of “Available-for-Sale” securities, loan and OREO sales, net income and the use of Federal Funds markets. Stated maturities of investment securities, loan repayments from maturities and core deposits are a relatively stable source of funds, while brokered deposit inflows, unscheduled loan prepayments, and loan and OREO sales are not. Deposit inflows, sales of securities, loan and OREO properties, and unscheduled loan prepayments may, amongst other factors, be influenced by general interest rate levels, interest rates available on other investments, competition, pricing consideration, and general economic conditions.
Deposits are our primary source of funds. Our loan to deposit ratio has increased as a result of loan demand due to the improvement of economic conditions in our region and customer dissatisfaction at other financial institutions from recent merger activity. The increase in loan balances has resulted in increased demands on our liquidity. As such, our current approach to managing our liquidity is directed toward increasing non-interest bearing core deposits from businesses and consumers. We continued to reduce higher cost time deposits during the most recent quarter.

The following table summarizes the primary (on-balance sheet) liquidity, short-term funds availability, net non-core funding dependency, and loan to deposit ratios of the Bank. The primary liquidity ratio represents the sum of net interest-bearing cash/federal funds sold, short-term and readily marketable assets divided by total assets. The short-term funds availability ratio consists of the sum of net interest-bearing cash/federal funds sold, short-term and readily marketable assets and available capacity under borrowing facilities divided by assets. The net non-core funding dependency ratio is non-core liabilities less short-term investments divided by long-term assets. Despite the increase in the loan to deposit ratio due to the loan growth, as previously discussed, the Bank’s primary liquidity, short-term funds availability, and net non-core funding dependency ratios remained strong at quarter end.

An analysis of liquidity should encompass a review of the changes that appear in the consolidated statements of cash flow for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. The statement of cash flows includes operating, investing, and financing categories.
At March 31, 2014, the Bank had $10.0 million in outstanding borrowings against its $140.9 million in established borrowing capacity with the FHLB. The Bank had the same amount outstanding in borrowings at December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2013. The borrowing capacity at the FHLB was $143.1 million and $128.7 million at December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2013, respectively. The Bank’s borrowing facility with the FHLB is subject to collateral and stock ownership requirements. The Bank also had an available discount window primary credit line with the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco of approximately $58.8 million, subject to collateral requirements, and $16.0 million from correspondent banks with no balance outstanding on any of these facilities.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
At March 31, 2014, the Bank had commitments to extend credit and standby letters related to extensions of credit of $102.9 million compared to $107.6 million at December 31, 2013 and $85.2 million at March 31, 2013. Such commitments represented 19.9%, 21.3% and 18.0% of total net loans as of March 31, 2014, December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2013, respectively. Please refer to Note 7 – “Commitments and Contingencies” in the accompanying financial statements for further information.
Critical Accounting Policies
Management has identified the calculation of our allowance for credit losses, goodwill, investment valuation and Other-Than-Temporary-Impairment (OTTI), valuation of OREO, and estimates relating to income taxes as critical accounting policies. Each of these policies are discussed in our 2013 10-K under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation – Critical Accounting Policies.”
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and rates. The Company’s market risk arises principally from interest rate risk in its lending, deposit and borrowing activities. Management actively monitors and manages its interest rate risk exposure. Although the Company manages other risks, such as credit quality and liquidity risk, in the normal course of business, Management considers interest rate risk to be a significant market risk, which could have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. Other types of market risks, such as foreign currency exchange rate risk and commodity price risk, do not arise in the normal course of the Company’s business activities. The Company did not experience a significant change in market risk at March 31, 2014, as compared to December 31, 2013.
The Company attempts to monitor interest rate risk from the perspective of changes in the economic value of equity, also referred to as net portfolio value (NPV), and changes in net interest income. Changes to the NPV and net interest income are simulated using instant and permanent rates up and down shocks of various increments. It is the Company’s policy to manage interest rate risk to maximize long-term profitability under the range of likely interest-rate scenarios. For additional information, refer to “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Asset and Liability Management” in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.
