RIVERVIEW
BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
1. BASIS
OF PRESENTATION
The
accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements were prepared in
accordance with instructions for Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and, therefore,
do not include all disclosures necessary for a complete presentation of
financial condition, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
(“GAAP”). However, all adjustments that are, in the opinion of
management, necessary for a fair presentation of the interim unaudited financial
statements have been included. All such adjustments are of a normal
recurring nature.
The
unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the audited financial statements included in the Riverview Bancorp, Inc. Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2008 (“2008 Form 10-K”). The
results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2008 are not
necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the fiscal year
ending March 31, 2009. The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results
could differ from those estimates.
2. PRINCIPLES
OF CONSOLIDATION
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Riverview
Bancorp, Inc. (“Bancorp” or the “Company”); its wholly-owned subsidiary,
Riverview Community Bank (“Bank”); the Bank’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Riverview
Services, Inc.; and the Bank’s majority-owned subsidiary, Riverview Asset
Management Corp. (“RAM Corp.”) All inter-company transactions and
balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
3. STOCK
PLANS AND STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
In July

Stock-based
compensation expense related to stock options for the three months ended June
30, 2008 and 2007 was approximately $5,000 and $11,000,
respectively. As of June 30, 2008, there was approximately $35,000 of
unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested stock options, which will
be recognized over the remaining vesting periods of the underlying stock
options.
The
Company recognizes compensation expense for stock options in accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123 (Revised),
“Share-Based Payment,” (“SFAS 123R”). The fair value of each stock option
granted is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes based stock
option valuation model. The fair value of all awards is amortized on a
straight-line basis over the requisite service periods, which are generally the
vesting periods. The Black-Scholes model uses the assumptions listed in the
table below. The expected life of options granted represents the period of time
that they are expected to be outstanding. The expected life is determined based
on historical experience with similar options, giving consideration to the
contractual terms and vesting schedules. Expected volatility was estimated at
the date of grant based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common
stock. Expected dividends are based on dividend trends and the market value of
the Company’s common stock at the time of grant. The risk-free interest rate for
periods within the contractual life of the options is based on the U.S. Treasury
yield curve in effect at the time of the grant. During the three
months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, the Company granted 2,500 and 5,000 stock
options, respectively. The weighted average fair value of stock
options granted during the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 was $1.32
and $2.27 per option, respectively.

4. EARNINGS
PER SHARE
Basic
earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income applicable to
common stock by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during
the period, excluding restricted stock and unallocated shares owned by the
Company’s Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”). Diluted EPS is
computed by dividing net income applicable to common stock by the weighted
average number of common shares and common stock equivalents for items that are
dilutive, net of shares assumed to be repurchased using the treasury stock
method at the average share price for the Company’s common stock during
the period. Common stock equivalents arise from assumed conversion of
outstanding stock options. For the three months ended June 30, 2008,
stock options for 282,000 shares of common stock were excluded in computing
diluted EPS because they were antidilutive. There were no
antidilutive stock options for the three months ended June 30,
2007.

The
unrealized losses on the above investment securities are primarily due to
increases in market interest rates subsequent to their purchase by the
Company. The Company expects the fair value of these securities to
recover as the securities approach their maturity dates or sooner if market
yields for such securities decline. Based on management’s evaluation
and intent, none of the unrealized losses summarized in this table are
considered other than temporary. The Company realized no gains or
losses on sales of investment securities for the three-month periods ended June
30, 2008 and 2007.

The
Company considers its loan portfolio to have very little exposure to sub-prime
mortgage loans since the Company has historically not engaged in this type of
lending.
Most of
the Bank’s business activity is with customers located in the states of
Washington and Oregon. Loans and extensions of credit outstanding at one time to
one borrower are generally limited by federal regulation to 15% of the Bank’s
shareholders’ equity, excluding accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).
As of June 30, 2008 and March 31, 2008, the Bank had no loans to any one
borrower in excess of the regulatory limit.

The
Company evaluates MSRs for impairment by stratifying MSRs based on the
predominant risk characteristics of the underlying financial
assets. At June 30, 2008 and March 31, 2008, the fair value of MSRs
totaled $1.0 million. The June 30, 2008 fair value was estimated using various
discount rates and a range of Prepayment Standard Assumption (PSA) values (the
Bond Market Association’s standard prepayment values) that ranged from 153 to
553.

JUNIOR
SUBORDINATED DEBENTURE
At June
30, 2008, the Company had established two wholly-owned subsidiary grantor trusts
for the purpose of issuing trust preferred securities and common
securities. The trust preferred securities accrue and pay
distributions periodically at specified annual rates as provided in each
indenture. The trusts used the net proceeds from each of the
offerings 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
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 maturity of the Debentures, or upon
earlier redemption as provided in the indentures. The Company has the
right to redeem the Debentures in whole or in part on or after specific dates,
at a redemption price specified in the indentures plus any accrued but unpaid
interest to the redemption date.
The
Debentures issued by the Company to the grantor trusts, totaling $22.7 million,
are reflected in the consolidated balance sheets in the liabilities section at
June 30, 2008, under the caption “junior subordinated debentures.” The
common securities issued by the grantor trusts were purchased by the Company,
and the Company’s investment in the common securities of $681,000 at June 30,
2008 and March 31, 2008, is included in prepaid expenses and other assets in the
Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company records interest expense on
the Debentures in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

12. FAIR
VALUE MEASUREMENT
SFAS No.
157, “Fair Value Measurements” defines fair value and establishes a framework
for measuring fair value in GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value
measurements. The following definitions describe the categories used
in the tables presented under fair value measurement.
Quoted
prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1): Inputs that are quoted
unadjusted prices in active markets for identical assets that the Company has
the ability to access at the measurement date. An active market for
the asset is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur
with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an
ongoing basis.
Other
observable inputs (Level 2): Inputs that reflect the assumptions market
participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on
market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity including
quoted prices for similar assets, quoted prices for securities in inactive
markets and inputs derived principally from or corroborated by observable
market data by correlation or other means.
Significant
unobservable inputs (Level 3): Inputs that reflect the reporting entity's own
assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the
asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the
circumstances.
Financial
instruments are broken down in the tables that follow by recurring or
nonrecurring measurement status. Recurring assets are initially
measured at fair value and are required to be remeasured at fair value in the
financial statements at each reporting date. Assets measured on a
nonrecurring basis are assets that, as a result of an event or circumstance,
were required to be remeasured at fair value after initial recognition in the
financial statements at some time during the reporting period.
The
following table presents fair value measurements for assets that are measured at
fair value on a recurring basis subsequent to initial recognition (in
thousands).

The
following method was used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial
instrument above:
Securities – Fair values for
available for sale securities are based on quoted market prices when available
or through the use of alternative approaches, such as matrix or model pricing or
indicators from market makers, when market quotes are not readily accessible or
available.
Certain
assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis after
initial recognition such as loans measured for impairment. The
following table represents the fair value measurement for nonrecurring assets
(in thousands).

The following method was used to
estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument
above:
Impaired loans – A loan is
considered to be 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. An impaired loan is measured as a practical expedient, at
the loan’s observable market price or the fair market value of the collateral if
the loan is collateral dependent.

NEW
ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In
September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value
Measurements." SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for
measuring fair value in GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value
measurements. The provisions of this standard apply to other
accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value
measurements. The Company’s adoption of SFAS No. 157 on April 1, 2008
did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial
statements. See Footnote 12 “Fair Value Measurement” for further
information.
In
February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including an amendment of FASB
Statement No. 115.” SFAS No. 159 permits companies to choose, at
specified election dates, to measure eligible items at fair
value. The standard is designed to mitigate volatility in reported
earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities
differently. The Company’s adoption of SFAS No. 159 on April 1, 2008
did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial
statements.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (Revised), “Business Combinations.”
SFAS No. 141(R) establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer
recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets
acquired, the liabilities assumed, and the goodwill acquired. The standard also
establishes disclosure requirements to enable the evaluation of the nature and
financial effects of the business combination. SFAS No. 141(R) is
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Management is
currently evaluating the potential impact on the Company’s financial position,
results of operations and cash flows of SFAS No. 141(R).
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment to ARB No. 51.” SFAS No. 160
establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest
in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. The standard also
requires additional disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between
the interests of the parent’s owners and the interest of the noncontrolling
owners of the subsidiary. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2008. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact
on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows of
SFAS No. 160.
14. COMMITMENTS
AND CONTINGENCIES
Off-balance sheet arrangements. The Company is a 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 generally include commitments to originate mortgage, commercial and consumer loans. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheet. The Company’s maximum exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the borrower is represented by the contractual amount of these instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. Commitments to extend credit are conditional, and are honored for up to 45 days subject to the Company’s usual terms and conditions. Collateral is not required to support commitments.
Standby
letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee
the performance of a customer to a third party. These guarantees are primarily
used to support public and private borrowing arrangements. The credit risk
involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved
in extending loan facilities to customers. Collateral held varies and is
required in instances where the Bank deems necessary.
The
following is a summary of commitments and contingent liabilities with
off-balance sheet risk as of June 30, 2008 (in thousands):

At June
30, 2008, the Company had no firm commitments to sell residential loans to the
FHLMC.
14
Other Contractual
Obligations. In connection with certain asset sales, the Bank
typically makes representations and warranties about the underlying assets
conforming to specified guidelines. If the underlying assets do not
conform to the specifications, the Bank may have an obligation to repurchase the
assets or indemnify the purchaser against loss. At June 30, 2008,
loans under warranty totaled $103.4 million, which substantially represents the
unpaid principal balance of the Company’s loans serviced for
others. The Bank believes that the potential for loss under these
arrangements is remote. Accordingly, no contingent liability is
recorded in the financial statements.
At June
30, 2008, scheduled maturities of certificates of deposit, FHLB advances, junior
subordinated debentures and future minimum operating lease commitments were as

The
Company is party to litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. In
the opinion of management, these actions will not have a material adverse
effect, if any, on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or
liquidity.
Item
2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
Management’s
Discussion and Analysis and other portions of this report contain statements
that the Company believes are “forward-looking
statements”. These statements relate to the Company’s financial
condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, future performance or
business. You should not place undue reliance on these statements, as they are
subject to risks and uncertainties. When considering these forward-looking
statements, you should keep in mind these risks and uncertainties, as well as
any cautionary statements the Company may make. Moreover, you should treat these
statements as speaking only as of the date they are made and based only on
information then actually known to the Company. There are a number of important
factors that could cause future results to differ materially from historical
performance and these forward-looking statements. Factors which could cause
actual results to differ materially include, but are not limited to, the credit
risks of lending activities, including changes in the level and trend of loan
delinquencies and write-offs; changes in general economic conditions, either
nationally or in our market areas; changes in the levels of general interest
rates, deposit interest rates, our net interest margin and funding sources;
fluctuations in the demand for loans, the number of unsold homes and other
properties and fluctuations in real estate values in our market areas; results
of examinations of us by the Office of Thrift Supervision(“OTS”) and our bank
subsidiaries by the FDIC or other regulatory authorities, including the
possibility that any such regulatory authority may, among other things, require
us to increase our reserve for loan losses or to write-down assets; our ability
to control operating costs and expenses; our ability to implement our branch
expansion strategy; our ability to successfully integrate any assets,
liabilities, customers, systems, and management personnel we have acquired or
may in the future acquire into our operations and our ability to realize related
revenue synergies and cost savings within expected time frames and any goodwill
charges related thereto; our ability to manage loan delinquency rates; our
ability to retain key members of our senior management team; costs and effects
of litigation, including settlements and judgments; increased competitive
pressures among financial services companies; changes in consumer spending,
borrowing and savings habits; legislative or regulatory changes that adversely
affect our business; adverse changes in the securities markets; inability of key
third-party providers to perform their obligations to us; changes in accounting
policies and practices, as may be adopted by the financial institution
regulatory agencies or the Financial Accounting Standards Board; war or
terrorist activities; other economic, competitive, governmental, regulatory, and
technological factors affecting our operations, pricing, products and services
and other risks detailed in the Company’s reports filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal
year ended March 31, 2008
Critical
Accounting Policies
Critical
accounting policies and estimates are discussed in our 2008 Form 10-K under Item
7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operation – Critical Accounting Policies.” That discussion highlights
estimates the Company makes that involve uncertainty or potential for
substantial change. There have not been any material changes in the
Company’s critical accounting policies and estimates as compared to the
disclosure contained in the Company’s 2008 Form 10-K.
15
Non-GAAP
Financial Information
This
report contains certain financial information determined by methods other than
in accordance with GAAP. These measures include net interest income on a fully
tax equivalent basis and net interest margin on a fully tax equivalent basis.
Management uses these non-GAAP measures in its analysis of the Company’s
performance. The tax equivalent adjustment to net interest income recognizes the
income tax savings when comparing taxable and tax-exempt assets and assumes a
34% tax rate. Management believes that it is a standard practice in the banking
industry to present net interest income and net interest margin on a fully tax
equivalent basis, and accordingly believes that providing these measures may be
useful for peer comparison purposes. These disclosures should not be viewed as
substitutes for the results determined to be in accordance with GAAP, nor are
they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be
presented by other companies. A reconciliation of net interest income as
reported to net interest income on a fully tax equivalent basis are contained in
the tables under “Net Interest Income.”
Executive
Overview
Financial
Highlights. Net income for the three months ended June 30,
2008 was $793,000, or $0.07 per basic share ($0.07 per diluted share), compared
to net income of $2.8 million, or $0.25 per basic share ($0.25 per diluted
share) for the three months ended June 30, 2007. Net interest income after
provision for loan losses decreased $3.2 million to $5.6 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2008 compared to $8.8 million for the same quarter last
year. Non-interest income and non-interest expense decreased slightly
for the quarter-ended June 30, 2008 compared to the same quarter last
year.
The
annualized return on average assets was 0.36% for the three months ended June
30, 2008, compared to 1.39% for the three months ended June 30, 2007. For the
same periods, the annualized return on average common equity was 3.35% compared
to 11.16%, respectively. The efficiency ratio was 63.20% for the
first quarter of fiscal 2008 compared to 60.93% for the same period last
year.
The
Company is a progressive, community-oriented financial institution, which
emphasizes local, personal service to residents of its primary market
area. The Company considers Clark, Cowlitz, Klickitat and Skamania
counties of Washington and Multnomah, Clackamas and Marion counties of Oregon as
its primary market area. The Company is engaged predominantly in the business of
attracting deposits from the general public and using such funds in its primary
market area to originate commercial, commercial real estate, multi-family real
estate, real estate construction, residential real estate and consumer
loans. Commercial and construction loans have grown from 72.42%
of the loan portfolio at March 31, 2003 to 89.06% of the loan portfolio at June
30, 2008. The Company’s strategic plan emphasizes targeting the
commercial banking customer base in its primary market area, specifically small
and medium size businesses, professionals and wealth building
individuals. In pursuit of these goals, the Company manages growth
diversification while including a significant amount of commercial and
commercial real estate loans in its loan portfolio. A related goal is to
increase the proportion of personal and business checking account deposits used
to fund these new loans. Significant portions of these new loan
products carry adjustable rates, higher yields or shorter terms but also carry
higher credit risk than traditional fixed-rate mortgages. The
strategic plan also stresses increased emphasis on non-interest income,
including increased fees for asset management and deposit service
charges. The strategic plan is designed to enhance earnings, reduce
interest rate risk and provide a more complete range of financial services to
customers and the local communities the Company serves. The Company is well
positioned to attract new customers and to increase its market share with 18
branches including ten in fast growing Clark County, four in the Portland
metropolitan area and four lending centers.
In order
to support the Company’s strategy of growth without compromising its local,
personal service to its customers and a commitment to asset quality, the Company
has made significant investments in experienced branch, lending, asset
management and support personnel and has incurred significant costs in facility
expansion and in our infrastructure. The Company’s efficiency ratio reflects
this investment and will likely remain relatively high by industry standards for
the foreseeable future as a result of the emphasis on growth and local, personal
service. Working to control its non-interest expenses remains a high
priority for the Company’s management.
The
Company continuously reviews new products and services to provide its customers
more financial options. With the Company’s emphasis on the growth of
non-interest income and the control of non-interest expense, all new technology
and services are generally reviewed for business development and cost saving
purposes. In-house processing of checks and check imaging has
supported the Bank’s increased service to customers and at the same time has
increased efficiency. The Bank has implemented remote check capture
at selected branches and is in the process of implementing remote capture of
checks on site for selected customers of the Bank. Emphasis on
enhancing the Bank’s cash management product line is in process with the hiring
of an experienced cash management officer. The formation of a team
consisting of this cash management officer and existing Bank employees is
expected to lead to a more robust cash management product line for the Bank’s
commercial customers. The Company continues to experience growth in
customer use of its online banking services, which allows customers to conduct a
full range of services on a real-time basis, including balance inquiries,
transfers and electronic bill paying. The Company’s online service
has also enhanced the delivery of cash management services to commercial
customers.
16
The
Company conducts operations from its home office in Vancouver and 18 branch
offices in Camas, Washougal, Stevenson, White Salmon, Battle Ground, Goldendale,
Vancouver (seven branch offices) and Longview, Washington and Portland (two
branch offices), Wood Village and Aumsville, Oregon. The Company
operates a trust and financial services company, RAM Corp., located in downtown
Vancouver. Riverview Mortgage, a mortgage broker division of the
Company, originates mortgage loans for various mortgage companies predominantly
in the Vancouver/Portland metropolitan areas, as well as for the
Company. The Business and Professional Banking Division, with two
lending offices in Vancouver and two lending offices in Portland, offers
commercial and business banking services.
Vancouver
is located in Clark County, Washington, which is just north of Portland,
Oregon. Many businesses are located in the Vancouver area because of
the favorable tax structure and lower energy costs in Washington as compared to
Oregon. Companies located in the Vancouver area include Sharp
Microelectronics, Hewlett Packard, Georgia Pacific, Underwriters Laboratory,
Wafer Tech, Nautilus and Barrett Business Services, as well as several support
industries. In addition to this industry base, the Columbia River
Gorge Scenic Area is a source of tourism, which has helped to transform the area
from its past dependence on the timber industry.

Comparison
of Financial Condition at June 30, 2008 and March 31, 2008
At June
30, 2008, the Company had total assets of $884.7 million, compared with $886.8
million at March 31, 2008.
Cash,
including interest-earning accounts, totaled $28.3 million at June 30, 2008,
compared to $36.4 million at March 31, 2008. The $8.2 million
decrease was attributable to the utilization of cash to fund increased loan
production as deposit accounts decreased during the period.
Investment
securities available for sale totaled $6.9 million at June 30, 2008, compared to
$7.5 million at March 31, 2008. The $611,000 decrease was attributable to
maturities and scheduled cash flows.
Mortgage-backed
securities available for sale totaled $4.9 million at June 30, 2008, compared to
$5.3 million at March 31, 2008. The $423,000 decrease is attributable
to maturities and scheduled cash flows.
Loans
receivable, net, totaled $763.6 million at June 30, 2008, compared to $756.5
million at March 31, 2008, an increase of $7.1 million. The increase
in net loans is attributable to continued loan growth as the company followed
its strategic plan of increasing commercial real estate loan
originations. This increase was partially offset by the pay down of
several large loans. Commercial real estate loans, excluding land
acquisition and development loans, increased $15.0 million during the
quarter-ended June 30, 2008. This increase was partially offset by a
$5.5 million decrease in land acquisition and development loans and a $6.0
million decrease in one-to-four family construction loans. A
substantial portion of the loan portfolio is secured by real estate, either as
primary or secondary collateral, located in the Company’s primary market
areas. Risks associated with loans secured by real estate include
decreasing land and property values, increases in interest rates, deterioration
in local economic conditions, tightening credit or refinancing markets, and a
concentration of loans within any one area. The Company has no
sub-prime residential real estate loans in its portfolio.
Goodwill
was $25.6 million at June 30, 2008 and March 31, 2008. As of June 30,
2008, the Company has not recognized any impairment loss on the recorded
goodwill.
Deposit
accounts totaled $629.4 million at June 30, 2008, compared to $667.0 million at
March 31, 2008. During the quarter-ended June 30, 2008, $25.2 million
in brokered certificates of deposits matured. At June 30, 2008, the
Company had no brokered deposits. The decrease in deposits is also a
result of the general downturn in the real estate market as well as the overall
economy. The Company has continued to experience increased
competition for customer deposits within its market area. In
addition, as market interest rates have decreased, the Company has seen a shift
in customer deposit choices from money market deposit and interest checking
accounts into certificates of deposit. As a result, the balance of
certificates of deposit increased $73.7 million to $255.0 million at June 30,
2008, compared to $181.3 million at June 30, 2007.
FHLB
advances totaled $129.8 million at June 30, 2008 and $92.9 million at March 31,
2008. The $36.9 million increase was attributable to the Company’s
continued loan growth coupled with a decrease in deposit balances, which
resulted from the maturities of the brokered deposit accounts described above
and competition for customer deposits.
Shareholders’
Equity and Capital Resources
Shareholders'
equity decreased $545,000 to $92.0 million at June 30, 2008 from $92.6 million
at March 31, 2008. The decrease in equity attributable to cash
dividends declared to shareholders of $961,000 was partially offset by net
income of $793,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2008. Exercise
of stock options, earned ESOP shares and the net tax effect of SFAS No. 115
adjustment to securities comprised the remaining $377,000 net
decrease.
The Bank
is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the
OTS. Failure to meet
minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly
additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a
direct material effect on the Bank’s financial
statements.
Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt
corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve
quantitative measures of the Bank’s assets, liabilities and certain off-balance
sheet items as calculated in accordance with regulatory accounting practices.
The Bank’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative
judgments by the regulators about components, risk, weightings and other
factors.
Quantitative
measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank
to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of total capital to risk-weighted assets,
Tier I capital to risk-weighted assets, Tier I capital to adjusted tangible
assets and tangible capital to tangible assets (set forth in the table
below).
Management believes the Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to
which it is subject as of June 30, 2008.
As of
June 30, 2008, the most recent notification from the OTS categorized the Bank as
“well capitalized” under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective
action. To be categorized as “well capitalized,” the Bank must
maintain
18
minimum
total capital and Tier I capital to risk-weighted assets, Tier I capital to
adjusted tangible assets and tangible capital to tangible assets (set forth in
the table below). There
are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes
have changed the Bank’s regulatory capital categorization. The Bank’s
actual and required minimum capital amounts and ratios are presented in the
following table (dollars in thousands):

Liquidity
The
Bank’s primary source of funds are customer deposits, proceeds from principal
and interest payments on loans, proceeds from the sale of loans, maturing
securities and FHLB advances. While maturities and scheduled
amortization of loans are a predictable source of funds, deposit flows and
mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic
conditions and competition.
The Bank
must maintain an adequate level of liquidity to ensure the availability of
sufficient funds for loan originations, deposit withdrawals and continuing
operations, satisfy other financial commitments and take advantage of investment
opportunities. The Bank generally maintains sufficient cash and
short-term investments to meet short-term liquidity needs. At June
30, 2008, cash totaled $28.3 million, or 3.2% of total assets. The
Bank has a line of credit with the FHLB of Seattle in the amount of 30% of total
assets to the extent the Bank provides qualifying collateral and holds
sufficient FHLB stock. At June 30, 2008, the Bank had $129.8 million in
outstanding advances from the FHLB of Seattle under an available credit facility
of $263.3 million, limited to available collateral. The Bank also has
a $10.0 million line of credit available from Pacific Coast Bankers Bank at June
30, 2008. The Bank had no borrowings outstanding under this credit
arrangement at June 30, 2008.
Sources
of capital and liquidity for the Bancorp include distributions from the Bank and
the issuance of debt or equity securities. Dividends and other
capital distributions from the Bank are subject to regulatory
restrictions.
Asset
Quality
The
allowance for loan losses was $13.1 million at June 30, 2008 and $10.7 million
at March 31, 2008. Management believes the allowance for loan losses
at June 30, 2008 is adequate to cover probable credit losses existing in the
loan portfolio at that date. The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a
level sufficient to provide for estimated loan losses based on evaluating known
and inherent risks in the loan portfolio. Pertinent factors
considered for establishing the allowance for loan losses include size and
composition of the portfolio, actual loss experience, current economic
conditions, industry trends and data, and detailed analysis of individual loans.
The appropriate allowance level is estimated based upon factors and trends
19
identified
by management at the time the consolidated financial statements are prepared.
Commercial loans are considered to have a higher degree of credit risk than
one-to-four family residential loans, and tend to be more vulnerable to adverse
conditions in the real estate market and deteriorating economic conditions.
While management believes the estimates and assumptions used in its
determination of the adequacy of the allowance are reasonable, there can be no
assurance that such estimates and assumptions will not be proven incorrect in
the future, that the actual amount of future provisions will not exceed the
amount of past provisions, or that any increased provisions that may be required
will not adversely impact our financial condition and results of
operations. In addition, the determination of the amount of the
Bank’s allowance for loan losses is subject to review by bank regulators, as
part of the routine examination process, which may result in the establishment
of additional reserves based upon their judgment of information available to
them at the time of their examination.
Non-performing
assets were $23.6 million or 2.67% of total assets at June 30, 2008 compared to
$8.2 million or 0.92% of total assets at March 31, 2008. The $23.0
million balance of non-accrual loans consists of twenty loans to sixteen
borrowers, which includes two commercial loans totaling $1.2 million, six land
acquisition and development loans totaling $16.4 million (the largest of which
was $5.5 million), three other real estate mortgage loans totaling $2.4 million,
three real estate construction loans totaling $2.3 million, five residential
real estate loans totaling $520,000 and one consumer loan totaling $97,000. All
of these loans are to borrowers located in Oregon and Washington with the
exception of one land acquisition and development loan totaling $3.5 million to
a Washington borrower who has property located in Southern
California.
The
$639,000 balance of real estate owned is comprised of one land loan totaling
$65,000, one multi-family real estate loan totaling $319,000, one real estate
construction loan totaling $185,000 and one one-to-four family real estate loan
totaling $70,000. All of these properties are located in the
Company’s primary market area except for the $185,000 real estate construction
loan which is located on the southern Washington coast.

As of
June 30, 2008 and March 31, 2008, other loans of concern totaled $10.9 million
and $6.8 million, respectively. The increase is attributable to three
real estate construction loans totaling $8.3 million. Two of these
loans totaling $3.7 million are located in Lincoln County, Oregon and were to a
related borrower. The remaining $4.6 million loan is located in the
Vancouver, Washington market area. This increase is offset by a land
development loan totaling $3.5 million and a multi-family real estate loan
totaling $1.4 million that were included in loans of other concern at March 31,
2008 but have since been placed on non-accrual status. Other loans of
concern consist of loans which known information concerning possible credit
problems with the borrowers or the cash flows of the collateral securing the
respective loans has caused management to be concerned about these isolated
instances of the ability of the borrowers to comply with present loan repayment
terms, which may result in the future inclusion of such loans in the non-accrual
category.
20
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements and Other Contractual Obligations
Through
the normal course of operations, the Company enters into certain contractual
obligations and other commitments. Obligations generally relate to
funding of operations through deposits and borrowings as well as leases for
premises. Commitments generally relate to lending
operations.
The
Company has obligations under long-term operating leases, principally for
building space and land. Lease terms generally cover a five-year
period, with options to extend, and are not subject to
cancellation.
The
Company has commitments to originate fixed and variable rate mortgage loans to
customers. Because some commitments expire without being drawn upon,
the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash
requirements. Undisbursed loan funds and unused lines of credit
include funds not disbursed, but committed to construction projects and home
equity and commercial lines of credit. Standby letters of credit are conditional
commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to
a third party.
For
further information regarding the Company’s off-balance sheet arrangements and
other contractual obligations, see Note 14 of the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements contained herein.
Comparison
of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2008 and
2007
Net Interest
Income. The Company’s profitability depends primarily on its
net interest income, which is the difference between the income it receives on
interest-earning assets and its cost of funds, which consists of interest paid
on deposits and borrowings. When interest-earning assets equal or
exceed interest-bearing liabilities, any positive interest rate spread will
generate net interest income. The Company’s results of operations are
also significantly affected by general economic and competitive conditions,
particularly changes in market interest rates, government legislation and
regulation, and monetary and fiscal policies.
Net
interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2008 was $8.4 million,
representing a decrease of $461,000, or 5.2%, from $8.8 million during the same
prior year period. Average interest-earning assets to average interest-bearing
liabilities decreased to 114.56% for the three-month period ended June 30, 2008,
compared to 118.23% in the same prior year period. This indicates that the
interest-earning asset growth is being funded more by interest-bearing
liabilities as compared to capital and non-interest-bearing demand deposits.
The net interest
margin for the quarter-ended June 30, 2008 was 4.20% compared to 4.83% for the
quarter-ended June 30, 2007. The Company’s balance sheet interest rate
sensitivity achieves better net interest margins in a stable or increasing
interest rate environment as a result of the balance sheet being slightly asset
interest rate sensitive. In a decreasing interest rate environment
the Company requires time to reduce deposit interest rates to recover the
decline in the net interest margin. Interest rates on the Company’s
interest-earning assets reprice down faster than interest rates on the Company’s
interest-bearing liabilities. As a result of the Federal Reserve’s
325 basis point reduction in the short-term federal funds rate since August
2007, approximately 40% of the Company’s loans immediately repriced down 325
basis points. The Company also immediately reduced the interest rate
paid on certain interest-bearing deposits. Further reductions will be
reflected in future deposit offerings. The amount and timing of these
reductions is dependent on competitive pricing pressures, yield curve shape and
changes in spreads.
Interest Income. Interest
income decreased $1.9 million, or 12.0%, to $13.6 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2008 compared to $15.4 million for the three months ended June
30, 2007. Interest income on loans receivable decreased primarily as
a result of the Federal Reserve interest rate cuts described above as well as
interest income reversals on non-performing loans. During the three
months ended June 30, 2008, the Company reversed $394,000 of interest income on
non-performing loans. These decreases were partially offset by
increases in the average loan balance as a result of continued strong loan
growth. Average interest-earning assets increased $66.2 million to
$800.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008 from $734.1 for the same
period in prior year. The yield on interest-earning assets was 6.81%
for the three months ended June 30, 2008 compared to 8.44% for the same three
months ended June 30, 2007.
Interest Expense. Interest
expense decreased $1.4 million, or 21.2%, to $5.2 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2008, compared to $6.6 million for the three months ended June
30, 2007. The decrease in interest expense is primarily attributable
to the lower rates of interest paid on deposits and borrowings as a result of
the Federal Reserve interest rate cuts described above. The weighted
average interest rate on total deposits decreased to 2.91% for the three months
ended June 30, 2008 from 4.17% for the same period in the prior
year. The weighted average cost of FHLB borrowings, junior
subordinated debenture and capital lease obligations decreased to 3.30% for the
three months ended June 30, 2008 from 6.28% for the same period in the prior
year.
The
following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, information regarding
average balances of assets and liabilities as well as the total dollar amounts
of interest income from average interest-earning assets and interest expense on
21
average
interest-bearing liabilities, resultant yields, interest rate spread, ratio of
interest-earning assets to interest-bearing liabilities and net interest
margin.

Provision for Loan
Losses. The provision for loan losses for the three months
ended June 30, 2008 was $2.8 million, compared to $50,000 for the same period in
the prior year. The increase in the provision for loan losses is the
result of increased loan growth, changes in the loan loss rates and trends in
the risk rating migration of certain loans as well as regional market conditions
with regard to the decrease in home and land values. The risk rating
migration largely consisted of land acquisition and development loans and
residential construction loans being moved to higher risk rating
categories. The ratio of allowance for loan losses and unfunded loan
commitments to total net loans was 1.73% at June 30, 2008, compared to 1.36% at
June 30, 2007. Net charge-offs for the current period were $330,000,
compared to net recoveries of $25,000 for the same period last year. Annualized
net charge-offs to average net loans for the three-month period ended June 30,
2008 was 0.17% compared to annualized net recoveries to average net loans of
0.01% for the same period in the prior year. The increase in
charge-offs for the period was primarily attributable to one consumer loan
totaling $211,000. Management’s evaluation of the allowance for loan
losses is based on ongoing, quarterly assessments of the known and inherent
risks in the loan portfolio. Loss factors are based on the Company’s
historical loss experience with additional consideration and adjustments made
for other economic conditions. Management considers the allowance for
loan losses at June 30, 2008 to be adequate to cover probable losses inherent in
the loan portfolio based on the assessment of various factors affecting the loan
portfolio.
Non-Interest
Income. Non-interest income decreased $120,000 to $2.2 million
for the quarter-ended June 30, 2008 compared to $2.3 million for the
quarter-ended June 30, 2007. Decreases in mortgage broker loan fees
that are reported in fees and service charges were partially offset by an
increase in asset management fees. For the quarter-ended June 30,
2008, broker loan fees decreased by $263,000 compared to the quarter-ended June
30, 2007. The increase in asset management fees of $76,000 for the
quarter-ended June 30, 2008 compared to the quarter-ended June 30, 2007 reflects
the increase in assets under management by RAMCorp. from $302.1 million at June
30, 2007 to $342.8 million at June 30, 2008.
Non-Interest
Expense. Non-interest expense decreased $114,000 to $6.7
million for the quarter-ended June 30, 2008 compared to $6.8 million for the
same prior year period. Management continues to focus on managing
controllable costs as the Company proactively adjusts to a lower level of real
estate business activity. Salaries and employee benefits decreased
$84,000 to $3.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008 compared to
$4.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007. Full-time
equivalent employees decreased to 258 at June 30, 2008 from 264 at June 30,
2007. Marketing expense
23
also
decreased $101,000 to $181,000 for the quarter-ended June 30, 2008 compared to
$282,000 for the quarter-ended June 30, 2007.
The
Company’s FDIC Insurance premium increased $95,000 as a result of a one-time
FDIC credit which the Company applied against its insurance expense in fiscal
year 2008.
Provision for Income
Taxes. Provision for income taxes was $339,000 for the three
months ended June 30, 2008, compared to $1.5 million for the three months ended
June 30, 2007. This decrease was a result of the decrease in income
before taxes. The effective tax rate for three months ended June 30, 2008 was
29.9% compared to 34.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2007. The
Company’s effective tax rate remains lower than the statutory tax rate as a
result of non-taxable income generated from investments in bank owned life
insurance and tax-exempt municipal bonds.
Item
3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market
Risk
The
Company’s Asset Liability Committee is responsible for implementing the interest
rate risk policy, which sets forth limits established by the Board of acceptable
changes in net interest income, and the portfolio value from specified changes
in interest rates. The OTS defines net portfolio value as the present
value of expected cash flows from existing assets minus the present value of
expected cash flows from existing liabilities plus the present value of expected
cash flows from existing off-balance sheet contracts. The Asset
Liability Committee reviews, among other items, economic conditions, the
interest rate outlook, the demand for loans, the availability of deposits and
borrowings, and the Company’s current operating results, liquidity, capital and
interest rate exposure. In addition, the Asset Liability Committee
monitors asset and liability characteristics on a regular basis and performs
analyses to determine the potential impact of various business strategies in
controlling interest rate risk and other potential impact of these strategies
upon future earnings under various interest rate scenarios. Based on
these reviews, the Asset Liability Committee formulates a strategy that is
intended to implement the objectives contained in its business plan without
exceeding limits set forth in the Company’s interest rate risk policy for losses
in net interest income and net portfolio value.
There has
not been any material change in the market risk disclosures contained in the
2008 Form 10-K.
Item
4. Controls and Procedures
An
evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in
Rule 13(a) - 15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) was carried out as of
June 30, 2008 under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s
Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and several other members of
the Company’s senior management as of the end of the period covered by this
report. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were
effective in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed by the
Company in the reports it files or submits under the Securities and Exchange Act
of 1934 is (i) accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management
(including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer) in a timely
manner, and (ii) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time
periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.
In the
quarter-ended June 30, 2008, the Company did not make any changes in its
internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is
reasonably likely to materially affect these controls. The Company
intends to continually review and evaluate the design and effectiveness of its
disclosure controls and procedures and to improve its controls and procedures
over time and to correct any deficiencies that it may discover in the
future. The goal is to ensure that senior management has timely
access to all material financial and non-financial information concerning the
Company’s business.
While the
Company believes the present design of its disclosure controls and procedures is
effective to achieve its goal, future events affecting its business may cause
the Company to modify its disclosure controls and procedures. The
Company does not expect that its disclosure controls and procedures and internal
control over financial reporting will prevent all error and fraud. A
control procedure, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only
reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control procedure
are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control
procedures, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all
control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been
detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that
judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns in controls or
procedures can occur because of simple error or
mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual
acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management
override of the control. The design of any control procedure is based
in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and
there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated
goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls become
inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with
the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent
limitations in a cost-effective control procedure, misstatements attributable to
error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
