RIVERVIEW
BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)

|
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, 2009 (“2009 Form 10-K”). The
results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2009 are not
necessarily indicative of the results, which may be expected for the fiscal year
ending March 31, 2010. 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.
The
Company reclassified its noncontrolling interest for 2009 to conform with the
2010 presentation.
We have
evaluated subsequent events through the date of this filing. We do
not believe there are any material subsequent events, which would require
further disclosure.
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.

STOCK
PLANS AND STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
|
In July
1998, shareholders of the Company approved the adoption of the 1998 Stock Option
Plan (“1998 Plan”). The 1998 Plan was effective October 1, 1998 and terminated
on October 1, 2008. Accordingly, no further option awards may be
granted under the 1998 Plan; however, any awards granted prior to its expiration
remain outstanding subject to their terms. Under the 1998 Plan, the
Company had the ability to grant both incentive and non-qualified stock options
to purchase up to 714,150 shares of its common stock to officers, directors and
employees. Each option granted under the 1998 Plan has an exercise price equal
to the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of the grant,
a maximum term of ten years and a vesting period from zero to five
years.
In July
2003, shareholders of the Company approved the adoption of the 2003 Stock Option
Plan (“2003 Plan”). The 2003 Plan was effective July 2003 and will expire on the
tenth anniversary of the effective date, unless terminated sooner by the Board.
Under the 2003 Plan, the Company may grant both incentive and non-qualified
stock options to purchase up to 458,554 shares of its common stock to officers,
directors and employees. Each option granted under the 2003 Plan has an exercise
price equal to the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date
of grant, a maximum term of ten years and a vesting period from zero to five
years. At June 30, 2009, there were options for 200,154 shares of the
Company’s common stock available for future grant under the 2003
Plan.
The
following table presents information on stock options outstanding for the
periods shown.

exercised. This amount changes based on changes in the market
value of the Company’s stock.

Stock-based
compensation expense related to stock options for the three months ended June
30, 2009 and 2008 was approximately $12,000 and $5,000,
respectively. As of June 30, 2009, there was approximately $25,000 of
unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested stock options, which will
be recognized over the remaining vesting periods of the underlying stock options
through May 2012.
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, the Company
granted 2,500 stock options. The weighted average fair value of stock
options granted during the three months ended June 30, 2008 was $1.32 per
option. There were no stock options granted for the three months
ended June 30, 2009.

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, without considering any dilutive items. 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. In accordance with Statement of Position (“SOP”) 93-6,
“Employer’s Accounting for Employee Stock Ownership Plans”, shares owned by the
Company’s Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”) that have not been allocated
are not considered to be outstanding for the purpose of computing earnings per
share. For the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, stock
options for 368,000 and 282,000 shares, respectively, of common stock were
excluded in computing diluted EPS because they were antidilutive.

During
the quarter ended June 30, 2009, the Company recognized a $258,000 non-cash
other than temporary impairment (“OTTI”) charge on the above trust preferred
investment security. Management concluded that the decline of the
estimated fair value below the Company’s cost was other than temporary and
recorded a credit loss of $258,000 through non-interest income. The Company
determined the remaining decline in value was not related to specific credit
deterioration. The Company does not intend to sell this security and
it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the
security before the anticipated recovery of the remaining amortized cost
basis.
To determine the component of gross
OTTI related to credit losses, the Company compared the amortized cost basis of
the OTTI security to the present value of the revised expected cash flows,
discounted using the current pre-impairment yield. The revised
expected cash flow estimates are based primarily on an analysis of default
rates, prepayment speeds and third-party analytical
reports. Significant judgment of management is required in this
analysis that includes, but is not limited to, assumptions regarding the
ultimate collectibility of principal and interest on the underlying
collateral.
The
unrealized losses on the above agency securities are primarily attributable to
increases in market interest rates subsequent to their purchase by the
Company. The Company expects the fair value of these agency
securities to recover as the agency securities approach their maturity dates or
sooner if market yields for such securities decline. The Company does
not believe that any of the agency securities are impaired due to reasons of
credit quality or related to any company or industry specific
event. Based on management’s evaluation and intent, none of the
unrealized losses related to the agency securities in this table are considered
other than temporary.

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 loss. As of June
30, 2009 and March 31, 2009, the Bank had no loans to any one borrower in excess
of the regulatory limit.

Loans on
which the accrual of interest has been discontinued were $41.1 million and $27.4
million at June 30, 2009 and March 31, 2009, respectively. Interest income
foregone on non-accrual loans was $804,000 and $394,000 during the three months
ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
At June
30, 2009 and March 31, 2009, impaired loans were $42.2 million and $28.7
million, respectively. At June 30, 2009 and
March 31, 2009, $39.6 million and $25.0 million, respectively, of impaired loans
had specific valuation allowances of $5.1 million and $4.3 million,
respectively, while $2.6 million and $3.7 million, respectively, did not require
a specific reserve. The balance of the allowance for loan losses in
excess of these specific reserves is available to absorb the inherent losses
from all other loans in the portfolio. The average balance in
impaired loans was $35.4 million and $24.3 million during the three months ended
June 30, 2009 and the year ended March 31, 2009, respectively. The related
amount of interest income recognized on loans that were impaired was $44,000 and
$135,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. At
June 30, 2009, there were no loans 90 days past due and still accruing
interest. At March 31, 2009, loans 90 days past due and still
accruing interest were $187,000.

JUNIOR
SUBORDINATED DEBENTURE
|
At June
30, 2009, the Company had two wholly-owned subsidiary grantor trusts which were
established 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, 2009, 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,
2009 and March 31, 2009, 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 Operations.

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 assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring
basis (in thousands).

The
following method was used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial
instrument above:
Investments and Mortgage-Backed
Securities – Investment securities available-for-sale are included within
Level 1 of the hierarchy when quoted prices in an active for market identical
assets are available. The fair value of investment securities
included in Level 2 are estimated by independent sources using pricing models
and/or quoted prices of investment securities with similar
characteristics. Our Level 3 assets consist of a single pooled trust
preferred security. Due to the inactivity in the market for these
types of securities, the Company determined the security is classified within
Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, and believes that significant unobservable
inputs are required to determine the security’s fair value at the measurement
date. The Company determined that an income approach valuation
technique (using cash flows and present value techniques) that maximizes the use
of relevant observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs was
most representative of the security’s fair value. Management used
significant unobservable inputs that reflect its assumptions of what a market
participant would use to price this security as of June 30,
2009. Significant assumptions used by the Company as part of the
income approach include selecting an appropriate discount rate, expected default
rate and repayment assumptions. We estimated the discount rate by
comparing rates for similarly rated corporate bonds, with additional
consideration given to market liquidity. We estimated the default
rates and repayment assumptions based on the individual issuer’s financial
conditions, historical repayment information, as well as our future expectations
of the capital markets. In selecting its assumptions, the Company
considered all available market information that could be obtained without undue
cost or effort.

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. Impairment was measured by management based on a number of factors,
including recent independent appraisals which were further reduced for estimated
selling costs or as a practical expedient by estimating the present value of
expected future cash flows, discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate. A
significant portion of the Company’s impaired loans is measured using the
estimated fair market value of the collateral less estimated costs to
sell. From time to time, non-recurring fair value adjustments to
collateral dependent loans are recorded to reflect partial write-downs based on
observable market price or current appraised value of collateral. The increase
in loans identified for impairment is primarily due to the further deterioration
of market conditions and the resulting decline in real estate values, which has
specifically impacted many builders and developers. As of June 30, 2009, the
Company had $42.2 million of impaired loans. The impaired loans were comprised
of nine commercial business loans totaling $7.8 million, eight land development
loans totaling $11.2 million, and six speculative construction loans totaling
$23.2 million. The $15.2 million fair market value represents thirteen loans
that were remeasured for impairment during the quarter. The balance of these
loans was $17.1 million and had specific allowances totaling $1.9 million. The
Company has categorized its impaired loans as Level 3.
Real estate owned – The
Company’s real estate owned (“REO”) is initially recorded at the lower of the
carrying amount of the loan or fair value less estimated costs to
sell. This amount becomes the property’s new basis. Fair
value was generally determined by management based on a number of factors,
including third-party appraisals of fair value in an orderly
sale. Estimated costs to sell REO were based on standard market
factors. The valuation of REO is subject to significant external and
internal judgment. Management periodically reviews REO to determine
whether the property continues to be carried at the lower of its recorded book
value or fair value, net of estimated costs to sell. The Company has
categorized its REO as Level 3. As a result of the continued
deterioration in the appraised values of its REO, as evidenced by current market
conditions, the Company took additional write-downs of $305,000 through a charge
to earnings for the three months ended June 30, 2009.

NEW
ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
|
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. The Company has incorporated the
guidance into preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements as of June 30,
2009, including retrospectively restating prior periods to conform to the
requirements of SFAS No. 160.
In April
2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, “Recognition and Presentation
of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments”. This FSP amends current OTTI guidance in
GAAP for debt securities to make the guidance more operational and to improve
the presentation and disclosure of OTTI on debt and equity securities in the
financial statements. This FSP does not amend existing recognition
and measurement guidance related to OTTI of equity securities. FAS
115-2 provides for the bifurcation of OTTI into: (i) amounts related to credit
losses, which are recognized through earnings, and (ii) amounts related to all
other factors that are recognized as a component of other comprehensive
income. The Company elected to early adopt this FSP effective January
1, 2009 and has incorporated the guidance into preparing the Consolidated
Financial Statements as of June 30, 2009.
In April
2009, the FASB issued FSP 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and
Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and
Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly”. This FSP provides
additional guidance for fair value measures under FAS 157 in determining if the
market for an asset or liability is inactive and accordingly, if quoted market
prices may not be indicative of fair value and also re-emphasizes that the
objective of a fair value measurement remains an exit price. The Company elected
to early adopt FSP 157-4 for the year ended March 31, 2009. The
adoption of FSP 157-4 did not have a material affect on the financial position
or results of operations.
In April
2009, the FASB issued FSP 107-1 and APB 28-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair
Value of Financial Instruments”. The FSP is designed to enhance
consistency in financial reporting by increasing the frequency of fair value
disclosures. The Company elected to early adopt this FSP for the year ended
March 31, 2009. The adoption of the FSP did not have a material
affect on the financial position or results of operations.
In May
2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events”. SFAS No. 165
establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that
occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or
are available to be issued. SFAS No. 165 is effective for periods
ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of this Statement did not have a
material affect on the Company's financial statements.
In June
2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial
Assets—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140”. SFAS No. 166 improves the
relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information
that a reporting entity provides in its financial statements about a transfer of
financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial
performance, and cash flows; and a transferor’s continuing involvement, if any,
in transferred financial assets. SFAS No. 166 is effective for periods ending
after November 15, 2009. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact
of SFAS No. 166 on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and
cash flows.

FAIR
VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
|
The
following disclosure of the estimated fair value of financial instruments is
made in accordance with the requirements of SFAS No. 107, “Disclosures
About Fair Value of Financial Instruments”. The Company, using available market
information and appropriate valuation methodologies, has determined the
estimated fair value amounts. However, considerable judgment is necessary to
interpret market data in the development of the estimates of fair value.
Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of
the amounts the Company could realize in a current market exchange. The use of
different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material
effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

Fair
value estimates were based on existing financial instruments without attempting
to estimate the value of anticipated future business. The fair value has not
been estimated for assets and liabilities that were not considered financial
instruments.
Fair
value estimates, methods and assumptions are set forth below.
Cash - Fair value
approximates the carrying amount.
Investments
and Mortgage-Backed Securities - Fair values were based on quoted market
rates and dealer quotes, where available. The fair value of the trust
preferred investment was determined using a discounted cash flow
method.
Loans
Receivable and Loans Held for Sale – At June 30, 2009 and March 31, 2009,
because of the illiquid market for loans sales, loans were priced using
comparable market statistics. The loan portfolio was segregated into various
categories and a weighted average valuation discount that approximated similar
loan sales was applied to each of these categories.
Mortgage
Servicing Rights - The fair value of MSRs
was determined using the Company’s model, which incorporates the expected life
of the loans, estimated cost to service the loans, servicing fees received and
other factors. The Company calculates MSRs fair value by stratifying MSRs based
on the predominant risk characteristics that include the underlying loan’s
interest rate, cash flows of the loan, origination date and term. Key economic
assumptions that vary due to changes in market interest rates are used to
determine the fair value of the MSRs and include expected prepayment speeds,
which impact the average life of the portfolio, annual service cost, annual
ancillary income and the discount rate used in valuing the cash flows. At June
30, 2009, the MSRs fair value totaled $745,000, which was estimated using a
range of prepayment speed assumptions values that ranged from 203 to
1182.
Deposits
- The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity such as
non-interest-bearing demand deposits, interest checking, money market and
savings accounts was equal to the amount payable on demand. The fair value of
time deposits with stated maturity was based on the discounted value of
contractual cash flows. The discount rate was estimated using rates currently
available in the local market.
Federal
Home Loan Bank Advances - The fair value for FHLB advances was based on
the discounted cash flow method. The discount rate was estimated using rates
currently available from the FHLB.
Federal
Reserve Bank Advances - The fair value for FRB advances was based on the
discounted cash flow method. The discount rate was estimated using rates
currently available from the FRB.
Junior
Subordinated Debentures - The fair value of junior subordinated
debentures was based on the discounted cash flow method. The discount rate was
estimated using rates currently available for the junior subordinated
debentures.
Off-Balance
Sheet Financial Instruments - The estimated fair value of loan
commitments approximates fees recorded associated with such commitments as of
June 30, 2009 and March 31, 2009. Since the majority of the Bank’s
off-balance-sheet instruments consist of non-fee producing, variable rate
commitments, the Bank has determined they do not have a distinguishable fair
value.

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.

30, 2009, a schedule of significant off-balance sheet commitments are listed

At June
30, 2009, the Company had firm commitments to sell $180,000 of residential loans
to the FHLMC. Typically, these agreements are short term fixed rate commitments
and no material gain or loss is likely.
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, 2009,
loans under warranty totaled $113.1 million, which substantially represents the
unpaid principal balance of the Company’s loans serviced for
FHLMC. The Bank believes that the potential for loss under these
arrangements is remote. Accordingly, no contingent liability is
recorded in the consolidated financial statements.
The
Company is 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 OTS or Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“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 or increase our capital; our ability to comply
with agreements entered into with the OTS or FDIC, including the recent
Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU” or “the agreement”) entered into with the
OTS; 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
16
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 2009 Form 10-K.
Critical
Accounting Policies
Critical
accounting policies and estimates are discussed in our 2009 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 2009 Form 10-K.
This
report contains certain financial information determined by methods other than
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America (“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.
Recent
Developments
In
January 2009, the Bank entered into a MOU with the OTS. Under that
agreement, the Bank must, among other things, develop a plan for achieving and
maintaining a minimum Tier 1 Capital (Leverage) Ratio of 8% and a minimum Total
Risk-Based Capital Ratio of 12%, compared to its current minimum required
regulatory Tier 1 Capital (Leverage) Ratio of 4% and Total Risk-Based Capital
Ratio of 8%. As of June 30, 2009, the Bank’s leverage ratio was 9.50%
(1.50% over the new required minimum) and its risk-based capital ratio was
11.91% (0.09% less than the new required minimum). The MOU also
requires the Bank to: (a) remain in compliance with the minimum capital ratios
contained in the business plan (once achieved); (b) provide notice to and obtain
a non-objection from the OTS prior to the Bank declaring a dividend; (c)
maintain an adequate allowance for loan and lease losses (ALLL); (d) engage an
independent consultant to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the Bank’s asset
quality; (e) develop a written comprehensive plan, that is acceptable to the
OTS, to reduce classified assets; and (f) obtain written approval of the Loan
Committee and the Board prior to the extension of credit to any borrower with a
classified loan.
The Board
and Bank management do not believe that this agreement will constrain the Bank’s
business plan and furthermore, we believe that the Bank is currently in
compliance with many of the requirements of the agreement through its normal
business operations. Management believes that the primary reason the
Bank was requested to enter into a MOU with the OTS was due to the uncertain
economic conditions currently affecting the financial
industry. Except for the required minimum 12% risk-based capital
ratio, management is currently in compliance with the remaining requirements of
the agreement, including maintaining an adequate ALLL; engaging an independent
consultant to conduct semi-annual loan reviews; providing notice to and
obtaining non-objection from the OTS prior to the Bank declaring a dividend; and
obtaining approval of the Loan Committee prior to the extension of credit to
borrowers with a classified loan. The most recent independent loan
review for the Bank was completed in May 2009.
Executive
Overview
Financial
Highlights. Net income for the three months ended June 30,
2009 was $343,000, or $0.03 per basic share ($0.03 per diluted share), compared
to net income of $793,000, or $0.07 per basic share ($0.07 per diluted share)
for the three months ended June 30, 2008. Net interest income after provision
for loan losses increased $713,000 to $6.3 million for the three months ended
June 30, 2009 compared to $5.6 million for the same quarter last
year. Non-interest income decreased slightly for the quarter-ended
June 30, 2009 compared to the same quarter last year due to the $258,000 other
than temporary impairment (“OTTI”) charge during the
quarter. Non-interest expense increased $1.3 million to $8.0 million
for the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to $6.7 million for the same
quarter last year. The $1.3 million increase was due to increases in
the FDIC insurance premiums of $581,000, write-down in the value of one REO
property of $305,000 and additional professional fees and cost associated with
REO properties accounted for the remaining increase.
The
annualized return on average assets was 0.15% for the three months ended June
30, 2009, compared to 0.36% for the three months ended June 30, 2008. For the
same periods, the annualized return on average common equity was 1.52% compared
to 3.35%, respectively. The efficiency ratio was 74.08% for the first
quarter of fiscal 2010 compared to 63.20% for the same period last
year. The increase in the efficiency ratio is primarily a result of
the $258,000 non-cash OTTI charge for the investment security coupled with the
increase in FDIC insurance premiums and REO related expenses.

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 business, commercial real estate,
multi-family real estate, real estate construction, residential real estate and
consumer loans. Commercial and construction loans have grown from 82.47% of the
loan portfolio at March 31, 2005 to 88.48% of the loan portfolio at June 30,
2009, increasing the risk profile of our total loan portfolio. The
Company continues its strategy of controlling balance sheet growth in order to
preserve capital, as well as the targeted reduction of residential construction
related sectors within the loan portfolio. Speculative construction
loans represent $47.0 million of the residential construction portfolio at June
30, 2009. These loan balances are down 42% from a year ago and 19%
from the previous linked quarter. Overall, our residential
construction loans decreased 22% from prior quarter and 32% from June 30,
2008.
The
Company’s strategic plan includes 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 while including a significant amount of
commercial business and commercial real estate loans in its
portfolio. Significant portions of these new loan products carry
adjustable rates, higher yields or shorter terms and higher credit risk than
traditional fixed-rate mortgages. A related goal is to increase the
proportion of personal and business checking account deposits used to fund these
new loans. At June 30, 2009, checking accounts totaled $176.4 million, or 27% of
our total deposit mix. 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 eighteen branches including ten in Clark county, three in the Portland
metropolitan area and four lending centers.
The
Company continuously reviews new products and services to provide its customers
more financial options. 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 a
majority of the branches and is in the process of implementing remote capture of
checks on site for selected customers of the Bank. The Bank has
increased its emphasis on enhancing its cash management product line 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 an improved 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. The Company began offering Certificate of Deposit
Account Registry Service (CDARS™) deposits to its customers during fiscal
2009. Through the CDARS program, customers can access FDIC insurance
up to $50 million. The Company also implemented Check 21 during
fiscal 2009, which allows the Company to process checks faster and more
efficiently. In December 2008, the Company began operating as a
merchant bankcard “agent bank” facilitating credit and debit card transactions
for business customers through an outside merchant bankcard
processor. This allows the Company to underwrite and approve merchant
bankcard applications and retain interchange income that, under its previous
status as a “referral bank”, was earned by a third party. A branch
manager of the Bank, who previously had experience in leading similar merchant
bankcard programs with other community financial institutions, currently manages
the merchant bankcard service. In the first quarter of fiscal 2010,
the Company began participating in the MoneyPass Network, which allows our
customers access to over 16,000 ATMs across the country free of
charge.
The
Company conducts operations from its home office in Vancouver and eighteen
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,
Riverview Asset Management Corp. (“RAMCorp”), located in downtown
Vancouver. Riverview Mortgage, a mortgage broker division of the
Bank, originates mortgage loans for various mortgage companies predominantly in
the Vancouver/Portland metropolitan areas, as well as for the
Bank. 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.
18
Prior to
2008, national real estate and home values increased substantially as a result
of the generally strong national economy, speculative investing, and aggressive
lending practices that provided loans to marginal borrowers (generally termed as
“subprime” loans). That strong economy also resulted in significant increases in
residential and commercial real estate values and commercial and residential
construction. The national and regional residential lending market, however,
experienced a notable slowdown in 2008, which has continued into 2009, and loan
delinquencies and foreclosure rates have increased. Foreclosures and
delinquencies are also being driven by investor speculation in many states,
while job losses and depressed economic conditions have resulted in the higher
levels of delinquent loans. The continued economic downturn, and more
specifically the continued slowdown in residential real estate sales, has
resulted in further uncertainty in the financial markets. During the quarter
ended June 30, 2009, the local economy has continued to slow. Unemployment in
Clark County increased to 12.6% in June 2009 compared with 6.1% in June 2008.
Home values in the Company’s market area at June 30, 2009 were lower than home
values in 2008, with certain areas seeing more significant
declines. The local area has seen a reduction in new residential
building starts, which has continued into the quarter ended June 30, 2009.
Commercial real estate leasing activity in the Portland/Vancouver area has
performed better than the residential real estate market, but it is generally
affected by a slow economy later than other indicators. Commercial vacancy rates
in Clark County increased as of June 30, 2009 compared to prior year amounts. As
a result of these and other factors, the Company has experienced a further
decline in the values of real estate collateral supporting certain of its
construction real estate and land acquisition and development loans, has
experienced increased loan delinquencies and defaults, and believes there are
indications of potential further increased loan delinquencies and defaults. In
addition, competition among financial institutions for deposits has also
continued to increase, making it more expensive to attract core
deposits.
In
response to the adverse economic conditions, the Company has been, and will
continue to work toward reducing the amount of nonperforming assets, adjusting
its balance sheet by reducing loan totals and other assets as possible, reducing
controllable operating costs, and augmenting deposits while maintaining
available secured borrowing facilities to improve liquidity and preserve capital
over the coming fiscal year. In this regard, as part of our strategic
planning; we are currently considering raising additional capital. We
anticipate that this capital will be raised through non-government sources for
the purpose of increasing our capital position and achieving compliance with the
additional capital requirements contained in the MOU. This additional
capital would also be available to support our future
acquisitions. We do not, however, have any plans arrangements or
understandings regarding any acquisition transactions.

Comparison
of Financial Condition at June 30, 2009 and March 31, 2009
Cash,
including interest-earning accounts, totaled $43.9 million at June 30, 2009,
compared to $19.2 million at March 31, 2009. The $24.7 million
increase was attributed to additional reserve balances maintained at the
FRB.
Investment
securities available for sale totaled $13.3 million at June 30, 2009, compared
to $8.5 million at March 31, 2009. The $4.9 million increase was attributable to
a new $5.0 million agency security purchased, which was offset by maturities and
scheduled cash flows of securities and an OTTI charge of
$258,000. The investment security that the Company recognized a
non-cash impairment charge on is a trust preferred pooled security with a fair
market value of $1.1 million issued by other bank holding
companies. The Company reviews investment securities for the presence
of OTTI, taking into consideration current market conditions, extent and nature
of change in fair value, issuer rating changes and trends, current analysts’
evaluations, the Company’s intentions or requirements to sell the investments,
as well as other factors. Management believes it is possible that a substantial
portion of the principal and interest will be received and the Company does not
intend to sell this security and it is not more likely than not that the Company
will be required to sell this security before the anticipated recovery of the
remaining amortized cost basis. In accordance with FSP 115-2, the
Company compared the amortized cost basis of the security to the present value
of the revised expected cash flows, discounted using the current pre-impairment
yield. The revised expected cash flow estimates were based primarily
on an analysis of default rates, prepayment speeds and third-party analytical
reports. In determining the expected default rates and prepayment
speeds, management evaluated, among other things, the individual issuer’s
financial condition including capital levels, nonperforming assets amounts, loan
loss reserve levels, and portfolio composition and concentrations. As
a result of this analysis, the Company recognized a $258,000 OTTI charge on this
investment security. Management does not believe that the recognition
of this OTTI charge has any other implications for the Company’s business
fundamentals or its outlook. For additional information on our Level
3 fair value measurements see “Fair Value of Level 3 Assets” included in Item
2.
Loans
receivable, net, totaled $760.3 million at June 30, 2009, compared to $784.1
million at March 31, 2009, a decrease of $23.8 million. The decrease
in net loans is attributable to scheduled maturities and pay downs on loans as
well as the transfer of certain loans to REO. In addition, the
Company continues its strategy of controlling balance sheet growth in order to
preserve capital. 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.
Deposit
accounts totaled $649.1 million at June 30, 2009, compared to $670.1 million at
March 31, 2009. During the first fiscal quarter, the Company paid
down its brokered deposits by $19.9 million and as of June 30, 2009, the Company
had no wholesale-brokered deposits in its deposit mix. Core deposits (comprised
of checking, savings and money market accounts) remained steady from March 31,
2009 to June 30, 2009 despite the general downturn in the real estate market as
well as the overall economy. Core deposits account for 60.9% of total deposits
at June 30, 2009, compared to 58.6% at March 31, 2009. The Company continues to
focus on the growth of its core deposits and on building customer relationships
as opposed to obtaining deposits through the wholesale markets. At June 30,
2009, customer relationships accounted for 100% of the Bank’s deposits. During
the quarter, the Company has continued to experience increased competition for
customer deposits within its market area.
FHLB and
FRB advances totaled $5.0 million and $145.0 million, respectively, at June 30,
2009 and $37.9 million and $85.0 million, respectively, at March 31,
2009. The $27.2 million increase was attributable to the Company’s
decrease in deposit balances, which resulted from the maturities of the brokered
deposit accounts described above in addition to maintaining additional available
cash at the FRB. The decision to shift the Company’s borrowings to
the FRB was a result of the lower cost of FRB borrowings as compared to those
from the FHLB.
Shareholders’
Equity and Capital Resources
Shareholders'
equity increased $451,000 to $89.1 million at June 30, 2009 from $88.7 million
at March 31, 2009. The increase in equity is mainly attributable to
net income of $343,000 for the three months ended June 30,
2009. Earned ESOP shares, stock based compensation expense and the
net tax effect of SFAS No. 115 adjustment to securities comprised the remaining
$108,000 increase.
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.
20
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 met all capital adequacy
requirements to which it was subject as of June 30, 2009, except as described
below.
As of
June 30, 2009, 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 minimum total capital and Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets, Tier
1 capital to adjusted tangible assets and tangible capital to tangible assets
(set forth in the table below). In the fourth quarter of
fiscal 2009, the Company entered into a MOU with the OTS which requires, among
other things, the Bank to develop a plan for achieving and maintaining a minimum
Tier 1 Capital (Leverage) Ratio of 8% and a minimum Total Risk-Based Capital
Ratio of 12%. These higher capital requirements will remain in effect
until the MOU is terminated.

Bank’s actual and required minimum capital amounts and ratios are presented in

Liquidity
Liquidity
is essential to our business. The objective of the Bank’s liquidity
management is to maintain ample cash flows to meet obligations for depositor
withdrawals, fund the borrowing needs of loan customers, and to fund ongoing
operations. Core relationship deposits are the primary source of the
Bank’s liquidity. As such, the Bank focuses on deposit relationships
with local consumer and business clients who maintain multiple accounts and
services at the Bank. With the significant downturn in economic
conditions our customers in general have experienced reduced funds available to
deposit in the Bank. Overall, total deposits were $649.1 million at
June 30, 2009 compared to $629.4 million at June 30, 2008. As
previously mentioned, the decline in total deposits from March 31, 2009 to June
30, 2009 was attributable to the repayment of $19.9 million of brokered
deposits. In addition, the growth in our loan portfolio over the past
several years surpassed the growth in our deposit accounts; as a result, the
Company has increased its use of secured borrowings from the FHLB and
FRB. In response to the adverse economic conditions, the Company has
been, and will continue to work toward reducing the amount of nonperforming
assets, adjusting the balance sheet by reducing loan totals and other assets as
possible, reducing controllable operating costs, and augmenting deposits while
striving to maximize secured borrowing facilities to improve liquidity and
preserve capital over the coming fiscal year. However, the Company’s
inability to successfully implement its plans or further deterioration in
economic conditions and real estate prices could have a material adverse effect
on the Company’s liquidity
Liquidity
management is both a short- and long-term responsibility of the Company's
management. The Company adjusts its investments in liquid assets
based upon management's assessment of (i) expected loan demand, (ii) projected
loan sales, (iii) expected deposit flows, (iv) yields available on
interest-bearing deposits and (v) its asset/liability management program
objectives. Excess liquidity is invested generally in
interest-bearing overnight deposits and other short-term government
21
and
agency obligations. If the Company requires funds beyond its ability
to generate them internally, it has additional diversified and reliable sources
of funds with the FHLB, the FRB, Pacific Coast Banker’s Bank and other wholesale
facilities. These sources of funds may be used on a long or short-term basis to
compensate for reduction in other sources of funds or on a long-term basis to
support lending activities. During the quarter ended June 30, 2009,
the Company enrolled in an Internet deposit listing service. Under this listing
service, the Company may post time deposit rates on an internet site where
institutional investors have the ability to deposit funds with
Company. As of June 30, 2009, the Company chose not to access any
deposits through this facility.
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 and FRB advances. While maturities and scheduled
amortization of loans are a predictable source of funds, deposit flows and
prepayment of mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities are greatly
influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition.
Management believes that its focus on core relationship deposits coupled with
access to borrowing through reliable counterparties provides reasonable and
prudent assurance that ample liquidity is available. However,
depositor or counterparty behavior could change in response to competition,
economic or market situations or other unforeseen circumstances, which could
have liquidity implications that may require different strategic or operational
actions.
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. During the three months ended June 30, 2009, the Bank
used its sources of funds primarily to fund loan commitments and to pay deposit
withdrawals. The Bank generally maintains sufficient cash and
short-term investments to meet short-term liquidity needs; however, our primary
liquidity management practice is to increase or decrease short-term borrowings,
including FRB borrowings and FHLB advances. Advances from the FRB
totaled $145.0 million and the Bank had additional borrowing capacity of $31.0
million from the FRB, subject to sufficient collateral. At June 30,
2009, cash totaled $43.9 million, or 4.8% of total assets. The Bank
had $5.0 million in outstanding advances from the FHLB of Seattle under an
available credit facility of $195.5 million, limited to sufficient collateral
and stock investment. Borrowing capacity from the FRB or FHLB may
fluctuate based on acceptability and risk rating of loan collateral and
counterparties could adjust discount rates applied to such collateral at their
discretion. The Bank also has a $10.0 million line of credit
available from Pacific Coast Bankers Bank at June 30, 2009. The Bank
had no borrowings outstanding under this credit arrangement at June 30,
2009.
An
additional source of wholesale funding includes brokered certificate of
deposits. While the Company has brokered deposits from time to time,
the Company historically has not relied on brokered deposits to fund its
operations. At June 30, 2009, the Company did not have any brokered
deposits. The Bank participates in the CDARS product, which allows
the Bank to accept deposits in excess of the FDIC insurance limits for that
depositor and obtain “pass-through” insurance for the total
deposit. The Bank’s CDARS balance was $21.2 million and $22.2 million
at June 30, 2009 and March 31, 2009, respectively. With news of bank
failures and increased levels of distress in the financial services industry and
growing customer concern with FDIC insurance limits, customer interest in, and
demand for, CDARS has continued to be evident with continued renewals of
existing CDARS deposits. In the first quarter of fiscal 2010, the OTS
informed the Bank that it was placing a restriction on the Bank’s ability to
increase its brokered deposits, including CDARS deposits, to no more than 10% of
total deposits. During the quarter ended of June 30, 2009, the Bank
paid down its wholesale-brokered deposits to zero and had CDARS deposits of
$21.2 million, representing 3.3% of total deposits. There can be no
assurance that CDARS deposits will be available for the Bank to offer its
customers in the future. The combination of all the Bank’s funding
sources, gives the Bank additional available liquidity of $319.1 million, or
34.7% of total assets at June 30, 2009.
Under the
Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program, all noninterest-bearing transaction
accounts, IOLTA accounts, and certain NOW accounts are fully guaranteed by the
FDIC for the entire amount in the account. The Bank has elected to
participate in this program at an additional cost to the Bank. Other
deposits maintained at the Bank are also insured by the FDIC up to $250,000 per
account owner through December 31, 2013.
At June
30, 2009, the Company had commitments to extend credit of $115.0
million. The Company anticipates that it will have sufficient funds
available to meet current loan commitments. Certificates of deposits
that are scheduled to mature in less than one year totaled $205.8
million. Historically, the Bank has been able to retain a significant
amount of its deposits as they mature. Offsetting these cash outflows
are scheduled loan maturities of less than one year totaling $255.2 million at
June 30, 2009.
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 and
approval. To the extent the Bank cannot pay dividends to the Bancorp,
the Bancorp may not have sufficient funds to pay dividends to its stockholders
or may be forced to defer interest payments on its subordinated debentures,
which in turn, may restrict the Company’s ability to pay dividends on its common
stock.
22
Asset
Quality
The
allowance for loan losses was $17.8 million or 2.28% of total loans at June 30,
2009 and $17.0 million or 2.12% of total loans at March 31,
2009. Management believes the allowance for loan losses at June 30,
2009 was 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 probable loan losses based on evaluating known and inherent risks
in the loan portfolio. The allowance is based upon management’s
continuing analysis of the pertinent factors underlying the quality of the loan
portfolio. These factors include changes in the size and composition
of the portfolio, delinquency levels, actual loan loss experience, current
economic conditions, and detailed analysis of individual loans for which full
collectibility may not be assured. The appropriate allowance level is estimated
based upon factors and trends 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, bank
regulators periodically review the Company’s allowance for loan losses and may
require the Company to increase its provision for loan losses or recognize
additional loan charge-offs. Any increase in the Company’s allowance
for loan losses or loan charge-offs as required by these regulatory authorities
may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and
results of operations.
The
increased balance in the allowance for loan losses was due to higher levels of
nonperforming and classified loans. Classified loans were $56.6
million at June 30, 2009 compared to $37.3 million at March 31,
2009. The increase is primarily attributable to two builder and
developers with loans totaling $15.6 million, which were downgraded during the
quarter. Non-accrual loans increased $13.5 million during the quarter
as a result of the addition of the above noted builder and developer
loans. At June 30, 2009, the Company identified $37.6 million, or 91%
of its nonperforming loans, as impaired and a performed specific valuation
analysis on each loan resulting in a specific reserve of $4.1 million, or 11% of
the nonperforming loan balance. Due to the results of these specific
valuation analyses, the increase in the Company’s allowance for loan losses did
not increase proportionately to the increase in the nonperforming loan
balances. The Company believes the low amount of specific allowance
required for these nonperforming loans reflects on the Bank’s conservative
philosophy and underwriting standards. All of the loans on
non-accrual status as of June 30, 2009 were categorized as classified
loans.
In
accordance with SFAS No. 114, “Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a
Loan”, and SFAS No. 118, “An amendment of SFAS No. 114”, a loan is considered
impaired when it is probable that a creditor will be unable to collect all
amounts (principal and interest) due according to the contractual terms of the
loan agreement. Impaired loans are generally carried at the lower or cost or
fair value, which are determined by management based on a number of factors,
including recent appraisals which are further reduced for estimated selling
costs or as a practical expedient, by estimating the present value of expected
future cash flows, discounted at the loan’s effective interest
rate. When the fair value measurement of the impaired loan is less
than the recorded investment in the loan (including accrued interest, net
deferred loan fees or costs, and unamortized premium or discount), an impairment
is recognized by creating or adjusting an allocation of the allowance for loan
losses. At June 30, 2009, the Company had impaired loans of $42.2
million with a specific valuation allowance for such loans of $5.1
million.
Nonperforming
assets, consisting of nonperforming loans and other real estate owned, totaled
$57.1 million or 6.2% of total assets at June 30, 2009 compared to $41.7 million
or 4.57% of total assets at March 31, 2009. The $41.1 million balance
of non-accrual loans consists of fifty loans to thirty-four borrowers, which
includes fifteen commercial business loans totaling $8.3 million, thirteen land
acquisition and development loans totaling $12.0 million (the largest of which
was $2.5 million), two other real estate mortgage loans totaling $275,000, ten
real estate construction loans totaling $19.5 million and ten residential real
estate loans totaling $1.0 million. All of these loans are to borrowers located
in Oregon and Washington with the exception of one land acquisition and
development loan totaling $1.4 million to a Washington borrower who has property
located in Southern California. Net charge-offs for the three month period ended
June 30, 2009 totaled $1.5 million.
The $16.0
million balance of real estate owned is comprised of thirty-six properties
limited to twenty lending relationships. These properties consist of seven
single-family homes totaling $1.7 million, twenty-two residential building lots
totaling $3.0 million, three finished subdivision properties totaling $4.3
million, one land development property totaling $5.0 million and three
multi-family property totaling $1.9 million. All of these properties
are located in the Company’s primary market area.

The
following table sets forth information regarding the Company’s nonperforming
assets. At the dates indicated, the Company had no restructured loans within the
meaning of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 15 (as
amended by SFAS No. 114), “Accounting by Debtors and Creditors for Troubled Debt
Restructuring”.

As of
June 30, 2009 and March 31, 2009, other loans of concern totaled $15.8 million
and $10.1 million, respectively. The $15.8 million of other loans of
concern consists of eight real estate construction loans totaling $8.9 million,
eight commercial business loans totaling $3.8 million, two commercial real
estate loans totaling $104,000 and six real estate construction loans totaling
$3.0 million. 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.
At June
30, 2009, loans delinquent more than 30 days were 1.53% of total loans compared
to 1.94% for the linked quarter and 0.52% at June 30, 2008. At June 30, 2009,
the delinquency rate in our commercial business (C&I) portfolio was 0.96%.
The delinquency rate in our commercial real estate (CRE) portfolio was 0.08%,
representing a single loan for $253,000. CRE loans represent the largest portion
of our loan portfolio at 42% of total loans and C&I loans represent 16% of
total loans. The delinquency rate for our one-to-four family construction loan
portfolio was 1.82%. The Company has prepared a comprehensive Classified Asset
Reduction Plan detailing its strategy to reduce its level of classified
assets.

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 15 of the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements contained in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for additional
information.
Goodwill
Valuation
Goodwill
is initially recorded when the purchase price paid for an acquisition exceeds
the estimated fair value of the net identified tangible and intangible assets
acquired. Goodwill is presumed to have an indefinite useful life and
is tested, at least annually, for impairment at the reporting unit
level. The Company has one reporting unit, the Bank, for purposes of
computing goodwill. All of the Company’s goodwill has been allocated
to this single reporting unit. The Company performs an annual review
in the third quarter of each year, or more frequently if indications of
potential impairment exist, to determine if the recorded goodwill is
impaired. If the fair value exceeds the carrying value, goodwill at
the reporting unit level is not considered impaired and no additional analysis
is necessary. If the carrying value of the reporting unit is
higher than its fair value, there is an indication that impairment may exist and
additional analysis must be performed to measure the amount of impairment loss,
if any. The amount of impairment is determined by comparing the
implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill to the carrying value of the
goodwill in the same manner as if the reporting unit was being acquired in a
business combination. Specifically, the Company would allocate the
fair value to all of the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit, including
unrecognized intangible assets, in a hypothetical analysis that would calculate
the implied fair value of goodwill. If the implied fair value of
goodwill is less than the recorded goodwill, the Company would record an
impairment charge for the difference.
A
significant amount of judgment is involved in determining if an indicator of
impairment has occurred. Such indicators may include, among others; a
significant decline in our expected future cash flows; a sustained, significant
decline in our stock price and market capitalization; a significant adverse
change in legal factors or in the business climate; adverse action or assessment
by a regulator; and unanticipated competition. Any adverse change in these
factors could have a significant impact on the recoverability of these assets
and could have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial
Statements.
The
goodwill impairment test involves a two-step process. The first step
is a comparison of the reporting unit’s fair value to its carrying
value. The Company estimates fair value using the best information
available, including market information and a discounted cash flow analysis,
which is also referred to as the income approach. The income approach
uses a reporting unit’s projection of estimated operating results and cash flows
that is discounted using a rate that reflects current market
conditions. The projection uses management’s best estimates of
economic and market conditions over the projected period including growth rates
in loans and deposits, estimates of future expected changes in net interest
margins and cash expenditures. The market approach estimates fair
value by applying cash flow multiples to the reporting unit’s operating
performance. The multiples are derived from comparable publicly
traded companies with similar operating and investment characteristics of the
reporting unit. We validate our estimated fair value by comparing the fair value
estimates using the income approach to the fair value estimates using the market
approach. Goodwill was $25.6 million at June 30, 2009 and March 31,
2009. An interim impairment test was not deemed necessary as of June
30, 2009 due to there not being a significant change in the reporting unit’s
assets or liabilities, the amount that the fair value exceeded the carrying
value as of the most recent valuation, and because the Company determined that,
based on an analysis of events that occurred and circumstances that have changed
since the most recent valuation date, the likelihood that a current fair value
determination would be less than the carrying amount of the reporting unit is
remote. As of June 30, 2009, the Company has not recognized any
impairment loss on the recorded goodwill.
Even
though the Company determined that there was no goodwill impairment during the
first quarter of fiscal 2010, continued declines in the value of our stock price
as well as values of others in the financial industry, declines in revenue for
the Bank beyond our current forecasts and significant adverse changes in the
operating environment for the financial industry may result in a future
impairment charge.
25
It is
possible that changes in circumstances, existing at the measurement date or at
other times in the future, or in the numerous estimates associated with
management’s judgments, assumptions and estimates made in assessing the fair
value of our goodwill, could result in an impairment charge of a portion or all
of our goodwill. If the Company recorded an impairment charge, its
financial position and results of operations would be adversely affected,
however, such an impairment charge would have no impact on our liquidity,
operations or regulatory capital.
Fair
Value of Level 3 Assets
The
Company fair values certain assets that are classified as Level 3 under the fair
value hierarchy established in SFAS No. 157. These Level 3 assets are
valued using significant unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no
market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the
assets. These Level 3 financial assets include certain available for
sale securities and loans measured for impairment, for which there is neither an
active market for identical assets from which to determine fair value, nor is
there sufficient, current market information about similar assets to use as
observable, corroborated data for all significant inputs into a valuation
model. Under these circumstances, the fair values of these Level 3
financial assets are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow
methodologies, valuation in accordance with SFAS No. 114, “Accounting by
Creditors for Impairment of a Loan an amendment of FASB Statements No. 5 and 15”
or similar techniques, for which the determination of fair value requires
significant management judgment or estimation.
Valuations
using models or other techniques are sensitive to assumptions used for the
significant inputs. Where market data is available, the inputs used
for valuation reflect that information as of the valuation date. In
periods of extreme volatility, lessened liquidity or in illiquid markets, there
may be more variability in market pricing or a lack of market data to use in the
valuation process. Judgment is then applied in formulating those
inputs.
At June
30, 2009, the market for the Company’s single trust preferred pooled security
was determined to be inactive in management’s judgment. This
determination was made by the Company after considering the last known trade
date for this specific security, the low number of transactions for similar
types of securities, the low number of new issuances for similar securities, the
significant increase in the implied liquidity risk premium for similar
securities, the lack of information that is released publicly and discussions
with third-party industry analysts. Due to the inactivity in the
market, observable market data was not readily available for all significant
inputs for this security. Accordingly, the trust preferred pooled
security was classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. The Company
utilized observable inputs where available, unobservable data and modeled the
cash flows adjusted by an appropriate liquidity and credit risk adjusted
discount rate using an income approach valuation technique in order to measure
the fair value of the security. Significant unobservable inputs were used that
reflect our assumptions of what a market participant would use to price the
security. Significant unobservable inputs included selecting an
appropriate discount rate, default rate and repayment assumptions. In
selecting our assumptions, we considered the current rates for similarly rated
corporate securities, market liquidity, the individual issuer’s financial
conditions, historical repayment information, and future expectations of the
capital markets. The reasonableness of the fair value, and classification as a
Level 3 asset, was validated through comparison of fair value as determined by
two independent third-party pricing services.
Certain
loans included in the loan portfolio were deemed impaired in accordance with
SFAS No. 114 at June 30, 2009. Accordingly, loans measured for
impairment were classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy as there is no
active market for these loans. Measuring impairment of a loan
requires judgment and estimates, and the eventual outcomes may differ from those
estimates. Impairment was measured by management based on a number of
factors, including recent independent appraisals which are further reduced for
estimated selling cost or as a practical expedient, by estimating the present
value of expected future cash flows, discounted at the loan’s effective interest
rate.
In
addition, REO was classified as Level 3 in the fair value
hierarchy. Management generally determines fair value based on a
number of factors, including third-party appraisals of fair value less estimated
costs to sell. The valuation of REO is subject to significant
external and internal judgment, and the eventual outcomes may differ from those
estimates.
For
additional information on our Level 1, 2 and 3 fair value measurements see Note
12 – Fair Value Measurement in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
contained in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for additional information.
Comparison
of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2009 and
2008
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.
26
Net
interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was $8.7 million,
representing an increase of $313,000, or 3.7%, from $8.4 million during the same
prior year period. Average interest-earning assets to average interest-bearing
liabilities decreased to 113.03% for the three-month period ended June 30, 2009,
compared to 114.56% in the same prior year period. The net interest margin for
the quarter-ended June 30, 2009 was 4.25% compared to 4.20% for the
quarter-ended June 30, 2008.
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. However, due to a
number of loans in our loan portfolio with interest rate floors, our net
interest income will be negatively impacted in a rising interest rate
environment until such time as the current rate exceeds these interest rate
floors. Interest rates on the Company’s interest-earning assets
reprice faster than interest rates on the Company’s interest-bearing
liabilities. Generally, in a decreasing interest rate environment,
the Company requires time to reduce deposit interest rates to recover the
decline in the net interest margin. As a result of the Federal
Reserve’s 200 basis point reduction in the short-term federal funds rate since
March 2008, approximately 35% of the Company’s loans immediately repriced down
200 basis points. The Company also immediately reduced the interest
rate paid on certain interest-bearing deposits. During the first
fiscal quarter, the Company made progress in reducing its deposit and borrowing
costs. 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 $1.7 million, or 12.3%, to $11.9 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2009 compared to $13.6 million for the three months ended June
30, 2008. 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 nonperforming loans. During the three
months ended June 30, 2009, the Company reversed $346,000 of interest income on
nonperforming loans. Average interest-earning assets increased $21.1
million to $821.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 from $800.3
million for the same period in prior year. The yield on
interest-earning assets was 5.82% for the three months ended June 30, 2009
compared to 6.81% for the same three months ended June 30, 2008.
Interest Expense. Interest
expense decreased $2.0 million, or 38.2%, to $3.2 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2009, compared to $5.2 million for the three months ended June
30, 2008. 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 1.93% for the three months
ended June 30, 2009 from 2.91% for the same period in the prior
year. The weighted average cost of FHLB and FRB borrowings, junior
subordinated debenture and capital lease obligations decreased to 1.25% for the
three months ended June 30, 2009 from 3.30% for the same period in the prior
year. Beginning in January 2009, the Company began transitioning its
borrowings to the FRB in an effort to reduce its borrowing costs. For
the three months ended June 30, 2009, the weighted average cost of the Company’s
FRB borrowings was 0.32% compared to 1.45% for its FHLB borrowings.
27

following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, information regarding
average balances of assets and liabilities as well as the total dollar amounts

Provision for Loan
Losses. The provision for loan losses for the three months
ended June 30, 2009 was $2.4 million, compared to $2.8 million for the same
period in the prior year. The decrease in the provision for loan losses is the
result of the decrease in the loan portfolio and the impact of the ongoing
analysis by management. However, the loan loss provision remained elevated
compared to historical levels. This is primarily the result of the
current ongoing economic conditions and slowdown in residential real estate
sales that is affecting among others, homebuilders and developers. A slowdown in
home buying has resulted in slower sales and declining real estate values, which
has significantly affected these borrowers liquidity and ability to repay loans.
This slowdown has led to an increase in delinquent and nonperforming
construction and land development loans, as well as additional loan charge-offs.
Nonperforming loans generally reflect unique operating difficulties for the
individual borrower; however, more recently the deterioration in the general
economy has become a significant contributing factor to the increased levels of
delinquencies and nonperforming loans. The ratio of allowance for loan losses to
total net loans was 2.28% at June 30, 2009, compared to 1.69% at June 30, 2008.
Net charge-offs for the three months ended June 30, 2009 were $1.5 million,
compared to $330,000 for the same period last year. Annualized net charge-offs
to average net loans for the three-month period ended June 30, 2009 was 0.78%
compared to 0.17% for the same period in the prior year. The increase in
charge-offs for the period was primarily attributable to one speculative
construction loan totaling $1.0 million. Nonperforming loans increased to $41.1
million at June 30, 2009 compared to $27.6 million at March 31, 2009. The ratio
of allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans decreased to 43.30% at June
30, 2009 compared to 61.57% at March 31, 2009. The allowance for loan losses as
a percentage of nonperforming loans decreased as more of the nonperforming loan
balances have been reduced to expected recovery values as a result of specific
impairment analysis and related charge-offs and due to the increase in
nonperforming loans during the quarter. The provision for loans
losses did not increase proportionately to the increase in nonperforming assets
due to the results of the specific valuation analyses performed by the
Company. Management believes the low amount of provision required for
these loans is a result of the Company’s conservative underwriting standards,
specifically related to loan-to-value requirements and the borrower’s financial
strength.
The
problem loans identified by the Company largely consist of land acquisition and
development loans. Impaired loans are subjected to an impairment analysis to
determine an appropriate reserve amount to be held against each loan. As of June
30, 2009, the Company had identified $42.2 million of impaired loans as defined
by SFAS No. 114. Because the significant majority of our impaired loans are
collateral dependent, nearly all of our specific allowances are calculated on
the fair value of the collateral. Of those impaired loans, $2.6 million have no
specific valuation allowance as their estimated collateral value is equal to or
exceeds the carrying costs. The remaining $39.6 million have specific valuation
allowances totaling $5.1 million. 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 changes
in economic conditions, changes in the amount and composition of the loan
portfolio, delinquency rates, a detailed analysis of impaired loans and other
factors as deemed
29
appropriate. These
factors are evaluated on a quarterly basis. Loss rates used by the Company are
impacted as changes in these risk factors increase or decrease from quarter to
quarter. At June 30, 2009, management’s analysis placed greater emphasis on the
Company’s construction and land development loan portfolios and the effect of
various factors such as geographic and loan type concentrations. The Company
also considered the effects of declining home values and slower home sales.
Based on its comprehensive analysis, management deemed the allowance for loan
losses of $17.78 million at June 30, 2009 (2.28% of total loans and 43.30% of
nonperforming loans) adequate to cover probable losses inherent in the loan
portfolio.
Non-Interest
Income. Non-interest income decreased $79,000 to $2.1 million
for the quarter-ended June 30, 2009 compared to $2.2 million for the
quarter-ended June 30, 2008. A $258,000 increase in OTTI on
investment securities partially offset the $349,000 increase in gain on sales of
loans held for sale. In addition, in asset management fees decreased
$115,000 for the quarter-ended June 30, 2009 compared to the quarter-ended June
30, 2008 as a result of the decrease in assets under management by RAMCorp. from
$342.8 million at June 30, 2008 to $279.0 million at June 30,
2009. This decrease in assets under management is primarily
attributable to the downturn in the markets and the general economy during the
past 12-18 months. Mortgage loan fees, included in fees and service
charges, were $322,000 for the first quarter of fiscal year 2010, an increase of
$32,000 from the same period in prior year.
Non-Interest
Expense. Non-interest expense increased $1.3 million to $8.0
million for the quarter-ended June 30, 2009 compared to $6.7 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. FDIC insurance premiums increased $581,000
over the same period in prior year, reflecting the FDIC’s higher assessment
rates for 2009 and a $420,000 special assessment charge. The increase
was also a result of $609,000 in REO expenses as well as the increase in
professional fess primarily associated with nonperforming assets.
Income Taxes. The
provision for income taxes was $102,000 for the three months ended June 30,
2009, compared to $339,000 for the three months ended June 30,
2008. The effective tax rate for three months ended June 30, 2009 was
22.9% compared to 29.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2008. 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. The impact of these items
was more pronounced on the Company’s effective tax rate for the three months
ended June 30, 2009 due to the decrease in income before taxes.
Item
3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market
Risk
There has
not been any material change in the market risk disclosures contained in the
2009 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, 2009 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 as in
effect on June 30, 2009 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, 2009, 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.
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.

Legal
Proceedings
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, on the Company’s financial position, results of
operations, or liquidity.
Item 1A.
Risk
Factors
Listed below are updates to the
market risk information provided in the 2009 Form 10-K. These updates
should be read in conjunction with the 2009 Form 10-K
Our
federal thrift charter may be eliminated under the Obama Administration’s
Financial Regulatory Reform Plan.
The Obama
administration has proposed the creation of a new federal government agency, the
National Bank Supervisor (“NBS”) that would charter and supervise all federally
chartered depository institutions, and all federal branches and agencies of
foreign banks. It is proposed that the NBS take over the responsibilities
of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, which currently charters and
supervises nationally chartered banks, and responsibility for the institutions
currently supervised by the Office of Thrift Supervision, which supervises
federally chartered thrift and thrift holding companies, such as Riverview
Bancorp, Inc. and Riverview Community Bank. In addition, under the
administration’s proposal, the thrift charter, under which Riverview Community
Bank is organized, would be eliminated. If the administration’s proposal
is finalized, Riverview Community Bank may be subject to a new charter mandated
by the NBS. It is uncertain as to how this new charter, or the supervision
by the NBS, will affect our operations going forward.
Liquidity
risk could impair our ability to fund operations and jeopardize our financial
condition, growth and prospects.
Liquidity
is essential to our business. An inability to raise funds through deposits,
borrowings, the sale of loans and other sources could have a substantial
negative effect on our liquidity. We rely on customer deposits and advances from
the FHLB, the FRB and other borrowings to fund our operations. Although we have
historically been able to replace maturing deposits and advances if desired, we
may not be able to replace such funds in the future if, among other things, our
financial condition, the financial condition of the FHLB or FRB, or market
conditions change. Our access to funding sources in amounts adequate to finance
our activities or the terms of which are acceptable could be impaired by factors
that affect us specifically or the financial services industry or economy in
general -- such as a disruption in the financial markets or negative views and
expectations about the prospects for the financial services industry in light of
the recent turmoil faced by banking organizations and the continued
deterioration in credit markets. Factors that could detrimentally impact our
access to liquidity sources include a decrease in the level of our business
activity as a result of a continued downturn in the Washington or Oregon markets
where our loans are concentrated or adverse regulatory action against
us.
Our
financial flexibility will be severely constrained if we are unable to maintain
our access to funding or if adequate financing is not available to accommodate
future growth at acceptable interest rates. Although we consider our sources of
funds adequate for our liquidity needs, we may seek additional debt in the
future to achieve our long-term business objectives. Additional borrowings, if
sought, may not be available to us or, if available, may not be available on
reasonable terms. If additional financing sources are unavailable, or are not
available on reasonable terms, our financial condition, results of operations,
growth and future prospects could be materially adversely affected. Finally, if
we are required to rely more heavily on more expensive funding sources to
support future growth, our revenues may not increase proportionately to cover
our costs.
