Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

A complete set of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements is a part of the Company’s 2012 Form 10-K filed March 14, 2013. The notes below are included due to material changes in the financial statements or to provide the reader with additional information not otherwise available. In preparing these financial statements, the Company has evaluated subsequent events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. All dollar amounts in the following notes are expressed in thousands, except per share amounts or where otherwise indicated.

Certain amounts contained in the prior period consolidated financial statements have been reclassified where appropriate to conform to the financial statement presentation used in the current period. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported net income, earnings per share or retained earnings.

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Pacific Continental Corporation (the “Company”), a bank holding company, and its wholly owned subsidiary, Pacific Continental Bank (the “Bank”), and the Bank’s wholly owned subsidiaries, PCB Services Corporation and PCB Loan Services Corporation (both of which are presently inactive). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company without audit and in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America for interim financial information. The financial statements include all adjustments and normal accruals, which the Company considers necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for such interim periods. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, as of the date of the balance sheets and income and expenses for the periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The balance sheet data as of December 31, 2012, was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures contained in the Company’s 2012 Form 10-K. The interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the December 31, 2012, consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, included in the Company’s 2012 Form 10-K.

NOTE 2 – BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

On February 1, 2013, the Bank acquired all of the assets and liabilities of Century Bank of Eugene, Oregon. The transaction has been accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting for cash consideration of $13,398, which included the consideration paid for all common shares and outstanding warrants and options. The assets and liabilities were recorded at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition dates. The fair value estimates are considered provisional and are subject to change for up to one year after the closing date of the acquisition.

The acquisition of Century Bank reflects the Company’s overall banking expansion strategy. The acquisition enabled significant cost savings due to the opportunity to reduce redundant overhead expenses. The application of the acquisition method of accounting resulted in the recognition of $915 of goodwill.

The operations of Century are included in the operating results beginning February 1, 2013, and added revenue of $595 and operating noninterest expense of $92, for the quarter ended March 31, 2013. Century’s results of operations prior to the acquisition are not included in the operating results. Merger-related expenses of $1,246 for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, have been incurred in connection with the acquisition of Century and recognized within the merger-related expenses line item on the Consolidated Statements of Income. Accrued restructuring charges relating to the Century acquisition are recorded in other liabilities and were $223 at March 31, 2013.

A summary of the net assets acquired and the estimated fair value adjustments of Century are presented below:

At March 31, 2013, there were 122 investment securities in unrealized loss positions. The unrealized loss associated with the investments of $14,634 in a continuous unrealized loss position for twelve months or longer was $412, of which $318 was related to private-label mortgage backed securities, and $94 was related to mortgage-backed securities. The Company has no current intent, nor is it more likely than not that it will be required, to sell these securities before the recovery of carrying value.

At March 31, 2013, unrealized losses existed on certain securities classified as obligations of state and political subdivisions, mortgage-backed securities, and private-label mortgage-backed securities. The unrealized losses on agency mortgage-backed securities and securities that are obligations of U.S. government agencies were deemed to be temporary, as these securities retain strong credit ratings, continue to perform adequately, and are backed by various government-sponsored enterprises (“GSEs”). These decreases in fair value are associated with the changes in market interest rates or the widening of market spreads subsequent to the initial purchase of the securities, and are not due to concerns regarding the underlying credit of the issuers or the underlying collateral. The decline in value of these securities has resulted from current economic conditions. Although yields on these securities may be below market rates during the period, no loss of principal is expected.

During the first quarter 2013, management reviewed all of its private-label mortgage-backed securities for the presence of other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) and recorded $16 in OTTI on two securities. Management’s evaluation included the use of independently generated third-party credit surveillance reports that analyze the loans underlying each security. These reports include estimates of default rates and severities, life collateral loss rates, and static voluntary prepayment assumptions to generate estimated cash flows at the individual security level. Additionally, management considered factors such as downgraded credit ratings, severity and duration of the impairments, the stability of the issuers, and any discounts paid when the securities were purchased. Management has considered all available information related to the collectability of the impaired investment securities and believes that the estimated credit loss is appropriate.

NOTE 4 - LOANS, ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES, AND CREDIT QUALITY INDICATORS

Loans are stated at the amount of unpaid principal net of loan premiums or discounts for purchased loans, net deferred loan origination fees, discounts associated with retained portions of loans sold, and an allowance for loan losses. Interest on loans is calculated using the simple-interest method on daily balances of the principal amount outstanding. Loan origination fees, net of origination costs and discounts, are amortized over the lives of the loans as adjustments to yield.

At March 31, 2013, outstanding loans to dental professionals totaled $279,980 and represented 29.4 percent of total outstanding loans compared to dental professional loans of $270,782 or 31.1 percent at December 31, 2012, and $222,979 or 27.0 percent at March 31, 2012. There are no other industry concentrations in excess of 10 percent of the total loan portfolio. However, as of March 31, 2013, approximately 61.9 percent of the Company’s loan portfolio was collateralized by real estate and is, therefore, susceptible to changes in real estate market conditions. While appropriate action is taken to manage identified concentration risks, management believes that the loan portfolio is well diversified by geographic location and among industry groups.

The allowance for loan losses is established as an amount that management considers adequate to absorb possible losses on existing loans within the portfolio. The allowance consists of general, specific, and unallocated components. The general component is based upon all loans collectively evaluated for impairment. The specific component is based upon all loans individually evaluated for impairment. The unallocated component represents credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio that may not have been contemplated in the general risk factors or the specific allowance analysis. Loans are charged against the allowance when management believes the collection of principal or interest is unlikely.

The Company performs regular credit reviews of the loan portfolio to determine the credit quality and adherence to underwriting standards. When loans are originated, they are assigned a risk rating that is reassessed periodically during the term of the loan through the credit review process. The Company’s internal risk rating methodology assigns risk ratings ranging from one to ten, where a higher rating represents higher risk. The ten-point risk rating categories are a primary factor in determining an appropriate amount for the allowance for loan losses.

Estimated credit losses reflect consideration of all significant factors that affect the collectability of the loan portfolio. The historical loss rate for each group of loans with similar risk characteristics is determined based on the Company’s own loss experience in that group. Historical loss experience and recent trends in losses provides a reasonable starting point for analysis, however they do not by themselves form a sufficient basis to determine the appropriate level for the allowance for loan losses. Qualitative or environmental factors that are likely to cause estimated credit losses to differ from historical losses are also considered, including but not limited to:

 

   

Changes in international, regional, and local economic and business conditions and developments that affect the collectability of the portfolio, including the condition of various market segments.

 

   

Changes in the nature and volume of the portfolio and in the terms of loans.

 

   

Changes in the experience, ability, and depth of lending management and other relevant staff.

 

   

Changes in the volume and severity of past due loans, the volume of nonaccrual loans, and the volume and severity of adversely classified or graded loans.

 

   

Changes in the quality of the institution’s loan review system.

 

   

Changes in the value of underlying collateral for collateral-dependent loans.

 

   

The existence and effect of any concentrations of credit, and changes in the level of such concentrations.

 

   

The effect of other external factors such as competition and legal and regulatory requirements on the level of estimated credit losses in the institution’s existing portfolio.

 

   

Changes in lending policies and procedures, including changes in underwriting standards and collection, charge-off, and recovery practices not considered elsewhere in estimating credit losses.

Table of Contents

The adequacy of the allowance for loan losses and the reserve for unfunded commitments is determined using a consistent, systematic methodology and is monitored regularly based on management’s evaluation of numerous factors. For each portfolio segment, these factors include:

 

   

The quality of the current loan portfolio.

 

   

The trend in the migration of the loan portfolio’s risk ratings.

 

   

The velocity of migration of losses and potential losses.

 

   

Current economic conditions.

 

   

Loan concentrations.

 

   

Loan growth rates.

 

   

Past-due and nonperforming trends.

 

   

Evaluation of specific loss estimates for all significant problem loans.

 

   

Recovery experience.

 

   

Peer comparison loss rates.

There have been no significant changes to the Company’s allowance for loan losses methodology or policies in the periods presented.

Credit Quality Indicators

The Company uses the following loan grades, which are also often used by regulators when assessing the credit quality of a loan portfolio.

Pass – Credit exposure in this category range between the highest credit quality to average credit quality. Primary repayment sources generate satisfactory debt service coverage under normal conditions. Cash flow from recurring sources is expected to continue to produce adequate debt service capacity. There are many levels of credit quality contained in the Pass definition, but none of the loans contained in this category rise to the level of special mention.

Special Mention – A special mention asset has potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset or in the institution’s credit position at some future date. Special mention assets are not adversely classified and do not expose an institution to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification. The Bank strictly and carefully employs the FDIC definition in assessing assets that may apply to this category. It is apparent that in many cases asset weaknesses relevant to this definition either (1) better fit a definition of a “well-defined weakness,” or (2) in management’s experience ultimately migrate to worse risk grade categories, such as Substandard and Doubtful. Consequently, management elects to downgrade most potential Special Mention credits to Substandard or Doubtful, and therefore adopts a conservative risk grade process in the use of the Special Mention risk grade.

Substandard – A substandard asset is inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the Borrower or of the collateral pledged, if any. Assets so classified must have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. Loans in this category are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Loss potential, while existing in the aggregate amount of substandard assets, does not have to exist in individual assets classified Substandard.

Doubtful – An asset classified as Doubtful has all the weaknesses inherent in one classified Substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.

Management strives to consistently apply these definitions when allocating its loans by loan grade. The loan portfolio is continuously monitored for changes in credit quality and management takes appropriate action to update the loan risk ratings accordingly. Management has not changed the Company’s policy towards its use of credit quality indicators during the periods reported.

Table of Contents

Past Due and Nonaccrual Loans

The Company uses the terms “past due” and “delinquent” interchangeably. Amortizing loans are considered past due or delinquent based upon the number of contractually required payments not made as indicated in the following table:

 

Number of Payments Past Due

  

Days

Delinquent

2 Payments

   30 Days

3 Payments

   60 Days

4 Payments

   90 Days

5 Payments

   120 Days

6 Payments

   150 Days

7 Payments

   180 Days

Delinquency status for all contractually matured loans, commercial and commercial real estate loans with nonmonthly amortization, and all other extensions of credit is determined based upon the number of calendar months past due.

The following tables present an aged analysis of past due and nonaccrual loans at March 31, 2013, December 31, 2012, and March 31, 2012:

Impaired Loans

Regular credit reviews of the portfolio are performed to identify loans that are considered potentially impaired. Potentially impaired loans are referred to the ALCO Committee for review and are included in the specific calculation of allowance for loan losses if considered impaired. A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, the Company is unlikely to collect all principal and interest due according to the terms of the loan agreement. When the amount of the impairment represents a confirmed loss, it is charged off against the allowance for loan losses. Impaired loans are often reported net of government guarantees to the extent that the guarantees are expected to be collected. Impaired loans generally include all loans classified as nonaccrual and troubled debt restructurings.

Accrual of interest is discontinued on impaired loans when management believes that, after considering economic and business conditions and collection efforts, the borrower’s financial condition is such that collection of principal or interest is doubtful. Accrued but uncollected interest is generally reversed when loans are placed on nonaccrual status. Interest income is subsequently recognized only to the extent cash payments are received satisfying all delinquent principal and interest amounts, and the prospects for future payments in accordance with the loan agreement appear relatively certain. In accordance with GAAP, payments received on nonaccrual loans are applied to the principal balance and no interest income is recognized. Interest income may be recognized on impaired loans that are not on nonaccrual status.

The following tables display an analysis of the Company’s impaired loans at March 31, 2013, December 31, 2012, and March 31, 2012:

Troubled Debt Restructurings

In the normal course of business, the Company may modify the terms of certain loans, attempting to protect as much of its investment as possible. Management evaluates the circumstances surrounding each modification to determine whether it is a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”). TDRs exist when: 1) the restructuring constitutes a concession, and 2) the debtor is experiencing financial difficulties. The Company adopted the amendments of Accounting Standards Update No. 2011- 02, “Receivables – A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring Is a Troubled Debt Restructuring” during the third quarter 2011. The Update requires retrospective application to the beginning of the annual period of adoption.

The following table displays the Company’s TDRs by class at March 31, 2013, December 31, 2012, and March 31, 2012:

The recorded investment in TDRs in nonaccrual status totaled $2,144, $2,336, and $3,697 at March 31, 2013, December 31, 2012, and March 31, 2012, respectively. The Bank’s policy is that loans placed on nonaccrual will typically remain on nonaccrual status until all principal and interest payments are brought current and the prospect for future payment in accordance with the loan agreement appears relatively certain. The Bank’s policy generally refers to six months of payment performance as sufficient to warrant a return to accrual status.

For the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company identified four TDRs that are newly considered impaired for which impairment was previously measured under the Company’s general loan loss allowance methodology. At March 31, 2013 the total recorded investment in such receivables was $1,022, and the associated allowance for loan losses was $8.

The types of modifications offered can generally be described in the following categories:

Rate Modification- A modification in which the interest rate is modified.

Term Modification - A modification in which the maturity date, timing of payments, or frequency of payments is changed.

Interest-only Modification - A modification in which the loan is converted to interest only payments for a period of time.

Combination Modification - Any other type of modification, including the use of multiple types of modifications.

Subsequent to a loan being classified as a TDR, a borrower may become unwilling or unable to abide by the terms of the modified agreement. In such cases of default, the Company takes appropriate action to secure additional payments including the use of foreclosure proceedings. The following table presents loans receivable modified as TDRs that subsequently defaulted within twelve months of the restructure during the period:

NOTE 8 – STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

The Company’s 2006 Stock Option and Equity Compensation Plan (the “2006 SOEC Plan”) authorizes the award of up to 1,550,000 shares in stock-based awards. The awards granted under this plan are performance-based and are subject to vesting. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors may impose any terms or conditions on the vesting of an award that it determines to be appropriate. Awards granted generally vest over four years and have a maximum life of ten years. Awards may be granted at exercise prices of not less than 100 percent of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock at the grant date.

Pursuant to the 2006 SOEC Plan, incentive stock options (“ISOs”), nonqualified stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), or stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) may be awarded to attract and retain the best available personnel to the Company and its subsidiaries. SARs may be settled in common stock or cash as determined at the date of issuance. Liability-based awards (including all cash-settled SARs) have no impact on the number of shares available to be issued within the plan. Additionally, non-qualified option awards and restricted stock awards may be granted to directors under the terms of this plan.

Prior to April 2006, incentive stock option (“ISO”) and non-qualified option awards were granted to employees and directors under the Company’s 1999 Employees’ Stock Option Plan and the Company’s 1999 Directors’ Stock Option Plan. The Company has stock options outstanding under both of these plans. Subsequent to the annual shareholders’ meeting in April 2006 all shares available under these plans were deregistered and are no longer available for future grants.

The following tables identify the compensation expense recorded and tax benefits received by the Company on its stock-based compensation plans for the three months ended March 31, 2013, and 2012:

During the first three months of 2013, no stock options were exercised. The fair value of equity-based awards vested during the three months ended March 31, 2013, and 2012 was $0 and $96, respectively. The fair value of liability-based awards vested during the three months ended March 31, 2013, and 2012 was $0 and $30, respectively.

At March 31, 2013, the Company had estimated unrecognized compensation expense of approximately $54, $106, $1,460, and $18 for unvested stock options, stock-settled SARs, RSUs, and cash-settled SARs, respectively. These amounts are based on forfeiture rates of 20 percent for all stock options and SARs and 13 percent for all RSUs granted to employees. The weighted-average period of time the unrecognized compensation expense will be recognized for the unvested stock options, stock-settled SARs, RSUs and cash-settled SARs is approximately 1.05, 1.05, 2.72, and .06 years, respectively.

Cash and Cash Equivalents – The carrying amount approximates fair value.

Securities available-for-sale and Federal Home Loan Bank stock – Fair value is based on quoted market prices. If a quoted market price is not available, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar securities. FHLB stock is valued based on the most recent redemption price.

Loans Held-for-sale – Fair value represents the anticipated proceeds from the sale of related loans.

Loans – For variable rate loans that reprice frequently and have no significant change in credit risk, fair value is based on carrying values. Fair value of fixed rate loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities. Fair values for impaired loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses or underlying collateral values, where applicable, and consider credit risk.

Interest receivable and payable – The carrying amounts of accrued interest receivable and payable approximate their fair value.

Federal Home Loan Bank stock – The carrying amount approximates fair value.

Bank-owned life insurance – The carrying amount approximates fair value.

Deposits – Fair value of demand, interest bearing demand and savings deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. Fair value of time deposits is estimated using the interest rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities. The Company uses an independent third-party to establish the fair value of time deposits.

Federal Funds Purchased – The carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value because of the short-term nature of these borrowings.

Federal Home Loan Bank Borrowings – Fair value of Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings is estimated by discounting future cash flows at rates currently available for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities.

Junior Subordinated Debentures – Fair value of Junior Subordinated Debentures is estimated by discounting future cash flows at rates currently available for debt with similar credit risk, terms and remaining maturities.

Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments – The carrying amount and fair value are based on fees charged for similar commitments and are not material.

The Company also adheres to the FASB guidance with regards to ASC 820, “Fair Value Measures.” This guidance defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The statement requires fair value measurement disclosure of all assets and liabilities that are carried at fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis. The Company determines fair value based upon quoted prices when available or through the use of alternative approaches, such as matrix or model pricing, when market quotes are not readily accessible or available. The valuation techniques used are based on observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s market assumptions. These two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy:

Level 1 – Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active or model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs are used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available. The Company’s own data used to develop unobservable inputs is adjusted for market consideration when reasonably available.

Financial instruments, measured at fair value, are broken down in the tables below 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, due to 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 information about the level in the fair value hierarchy for the Company’s assets and liabilities not measured and carried at fair value as of March 31, 2013:

Table of Contents

The following is a description of the inputs and valuation methodologies used for assets recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value for all classes of available-for-sale securities is estimated by obtaining quoted market prices for identical assets, where available. If such prices are not available, fair value is based on independent asset pricing services and models, the inputs of which are market-based or independently sourced market parameters, including but not limited to, yield curves, interest rates, prepayments, defaults, cumulative loss projections, and cash flows. There have been no significant changes in the valuation techniques during the periods reported.

The following table provides a reconciliation of assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis using unobservable inputs (Level 3) for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012:

Fair value for all classes of available-for-sale securities is estimated by obtaining quoted market prices for identical assets, where available. If such prices are not available, fair value is based on quoted prices for similar instruments or model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable. In instances where quoted prices for identical or similar instruments and observable inputs are not available, unobservable inputs, including the Company’s own data, are used.

The Company utilizes FTN Financial for pricing service to estimate fair value on all of its available-for-sale securities. The inputs used to value all securities include benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers, and reference data, including market research, market indicators, and industry and economic trends. Additional inputs specific to each asset type are as follows:

 

   

Obligations of U.S. government agencies – TRACE reported trades.

 

   

Obligations of states and political subdivisions – MSRB reported trades, material event notices, and Municipal Market Data (MMD) benchmark yields.

 

   

Private-label mortgage-backed securities – new issue data, monthly payment information, and collateral performance (whole loan collateral).

 

   

Mortgage-backed securities – TBA prices and monthly payment information.

Inputs may be prioritized differently on any given day for any security and not all inputs listed are available for use in the evaluation process on any given day for each security evaluation.

Table of Contents

The valuation methodology used by asset type includes:

 

   

Obligations of U.S. government agencies – security characteristics, defined sector break-down, benchmark yields, applied base spread, yield to maturity (bullet structures), corporate action adjustment, and evaluations based on T+3 settlement.

 

   

Obligations of states and political subdivisions – security characteristics, benchmark yields, applied base spread, yield to worst or market convention, ratings updates, prepayment schedules (housing bonds), material event notice adjustments, and evaluations based on T+3 settlement.

 

   

Private-label mortgage-backed securities – security characteristics, prepayment speeds, cash flows, TBA, Treasury and swap curves, IO/PO strips or floating indexes, applied base spread, spread adjustments, yield to worst or market convention, ratings updates (whole-loan collateral), and evaluations based on T+0 settlement.

 

   

Mortgage-backed securities – security characteristics, TBA, Treasury, or floating index benchmarks, spread to TBA levels, prepayment speeds, applied spreads, and evaluations based on T+0 settlement.

The third-party pricing service follows multiple review processes to assess the available market, credit and deal-level information to support its valuation estimates. If sufficient objectively verifiable information is not available to support a security’s valuation, an alternate independent evaluation source will be used.

The Company’s securities portfolio was valued through its independent third-party pricing service using evaluated pricing models and quoted prices based on market data. For further assurance, the Company’s estimate of fair value was compared to an additional independent third-party estimate at December 31, 2012, and we obtained key inputs for a sample of securities across sectors and evaluated those inputs for reasonableness. This analysis was performed at the individual security level and no material variances were noted.

There have been no significant changes in the valuation techniques during the periods reported.

Table of Contents

The following is a description of the inputs and valuation methodologies used for assets recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.

Loans measured for impairment (net of government guarantees and specific reserves) include the estimated fair value of collateral-dependent loans, less collectible government guarantees, as well as certain noncollateral-dependent loans measured for impairment with an allocated specific reserve. When a collateral-dependent loan is identified as impaired, the value of the loan is measured using the current fair value of the collateral less selling costs. The fair value of collateral is generally estimated by obtaining external appraisals which are usually updated every 6 to 12 months based on the nature of the impaired loans. Certain noncollateral-dependent loans measured for impairment with an allocated specific reserve are valued based upon the estimated net realizable value of the loan. If the estimated fair value of the impaired loan, less collectible government guarantees, is less than the recorded investment in the loan, impairment is recognized as a charge-off through the allowance for loan losses. The carrying value of the loan is adjusted to the estimated fair value. The carrying value of loans fully charged off is zero.

Other real estate owned represents real estate which the Company has taken control of in partial or full satisfaction of loans. At the time of foreclosure, other real estate owned is recorded at the lower of the carrying amount of the loan or fair value less costs to sell, which becomes the property’s new basis. Any write downs based on the asset’s fair value at the date of acquisition are charged to the allowance for loan losses. After foreclosure, management periodically orders appraisals or performs valuations to ensure that the real estate is carried at the lower of its new cost basis or fair value, net of estimated costs to sell. Appraisals are generally updated every 6 to 12 months on other real estate owned. Fair value adjustments on other real estate owned are recognized within net loss on real estate owned. The loss represents impairments on other real estate owned for fair value adjustments based on the fair value of the real estate.

There have been no significant changes in the valuation techniques during the periods reported.

NOTE 10 – REGULATORY MATTERS

The Company and the Bank are subject to the regulations of certain federal and state agencies and receive periodic examinations by those regulatory authorities. In addition, they are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies. 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 company’s consolidated 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 under regulatory accounting practices. The Company and the Bank’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of Total and Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets and of Tier 1 capital to leverage assets. Management believes that, as of March 31, 2013, the Company and the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.

ITEM 2 Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion is intended to provide a more comprehensive review of the Company’s operating results and financial condition than can be obtained from reading the Consolidated Financial Statements alone. The discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes included later in this report. Please refer also to our Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s 2012 Form 10-K. All dollar amounts, except share and per share data, are expressed in thousands of dollars.

In addition to historical information, this report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding projected results for 2013, the expected interest rate environment, 2013 provision for loan losses, management’s plans, objectives, expectations and intentions that are not historical facts, and other statements identified by words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “should,” “projects,” “seeks,” “estimates” or words of similar meaning. These forward-looking statements are based on current beliefs and expectations of management and are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond the Company’s control. In addition, these forward-looking statements are subject to assumptions with respect to future business strategies and decisions that are subject to change. The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations in the forward-looking statements, including those set forth in this report, and our other reports filed with the SEC:

 

   

Local and national economic conditions could be less favorable than expected or could have a more direct and pronounced effect on us than expected and adversely affect our ability to continue internal growth at historical rates and maintain the quality of our earning assets.

 

   

The local housing or real estate market could continue to decline.

 

   

The risks presented by an economic recession, which could adversely affect credit quality, collateral values, including real estate collateral, investment values, liquidity and loan originations, and loan portfolio delinquency rates.

 

   

Our concentration in loans to dental professionals exposes us to the risks affecting dental practices in general.

 

   

Interest rate changes could significantly reduce net interest income and negatively affect funding sources.

 

   

Projected business increases following any future strategic expansion or opening of new branches could be lower than expected.

 

   

Competition among financial institutions could increase significantly.

 

   

The goodwill we have recorded in connection with acquisitions could become impaired, which may have an adverse impact on our earnings and capital.

 

   

The reputation of the financial services industry could deteriorate, which could adversely affect our ability to access markets for funding and to acquire and retain customers.

 

   

The efficiencies we may expect to receive from any investments in personnel, acquisitions, and infrastructure may not be realized.

 

   

The level of nonperforming assets and charge-offs or changes in the estimates of future reserve requirements based upon the periodic review thereof under relevant regulatory and accounting requirements may increase.

 

   

Changes in laws and regulations (including laws and regulations concerning taxes, banking, securities, executive compensation, and insurance) could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

SUMMARY OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

We follow accounting standards set by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, commonly referred to as the “FASB.” The FASB sets generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) that we follow to ensure we consistently report our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. References to GAAP issued by the FASB in this report are to the “FASB Accounting Standards Codification,” sometimes referred to as the “Codification” or “ASC.” The FASB finalized the Codification effective for periods ending on or after September 15, 2009. Prior FASB Statements, Interpretations, Positions, EITF consensuses, and AICPA Statements of Position are no longer being issued by the FASB. The Codification does not change how the Company accounts for its transactions or the nature of related disclosures made. However, when referring to guidance issued by the FASB, the Company refers to topics in the ASC rather than the specific FASB statement. We have updated references to GAAP in this report to reflect the guidance in the Codification.

The SEC defines “critical accounting policies” as those that require the application of management’s most difficult, subjective, or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in future periods. Significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s 2012 Form 10-K. Management believes that the following policies and those disclosed in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s 2012 Form 10-K should be considered critical under the SEC definition:

Nonaccrual Loans

Accrual of interest is discontinued on contractually delinquent loans when management believes that, after considering economic and business conditions and collection efforts, the borrower’s financial condition is such that collection of principal or interest is doubtful. At a minimum, loans that are past due as to maturity or payment of principal or interest by 90 days or more are placed on nonaccrual status, unless such loans are well-secured and in the process of collection. Interest income is subsequently recognized only to the extent cash payments are received satisfying all delinquent principal and interest amounts, and the prospects for future payments in accordance with the loan agreement appear relatively certain. In accordance with GAAP, payments received on nonaccrual loans are applied to the principal balance and no interest income is recognized.

Allowance for Loan Losses and Reserve for Unfunded Commitments

The allowance for loan losses on outstanding loans is classified as a contra-asset account offsetting outstanding loans, and the allowance for unfunded commitments is classified as an “other” liability on the balance sheet. The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses charged against earnings. The balances of the allowance for loan losses for outstanding loans and unfunded commitments are maintained at an amount management believes will be adequate to absorb known and inherent losses in the loan portfolio and commitments to loan funds. The appropriate balance of the allowance for loan losses is determined by applying loss factors to the credit exposure from outstanding loans and unfunded loan commitments. Estimated loss factors are based on subjective measurements, including management’s assessment of the internal risk classifications, changes in the nature of the loan portfolios, industry concentrations, and the impact of current local, regional, and national economic factors on the quality of the loan portfolio. Changes in these estimates and assumptions are reasonably possible and may have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, results of operations or liquidity.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

In the normal course of business, the Company may modify the terms of certain loans, attempting to protect as much of its investment as possible. Management evaluates the circumstances surrounding each modification to determine whether it is a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”). TDRs exist when 1) the restructuring constitutes a concession, and 2) the debtor is experiencing financial difficulties. Additional information regarding the Company’s TDRs can be found in Note 4 of the March 31, 2013, Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 of this report.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

At March 31, 2013, the Company had $23,770 in goodwill and other intangible assets. In accordance with financial accounting standards, assets with indefinite lives are no longer amortized, but instead are periodically tested for impairment. Management performs an impairment analysis of its goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives at least annually and has determined that there was no impairment as of December 31, 2012.

Share-based Compensation

Consistent with the provisions of FASB ASC 718, Stock Compensation, a revision to the previously issued guidance on accounting for stock options and other forms of equity-based compensation, we recognize expense for the grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity-based forms of compensation issued to employees over the employees’ requisite service period (generally the vesting period). The requisite service period may be subject to performance conditions. The fair value of each option grant is estimated as of the grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Management assumptions utilized at the time of grant impact the fair value of the option calculated under the Black-Scholes methodology, and ultimately, the expense that will be recognized over the life of the option. Additional information is included in Note 1 of the December 31, 2012 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of the Company’s 2012 Form 10-K.

Fair Value Measurements

Generally accepted accounting principles define fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements,” establishes a three-level hierarchy for disclosure of assets and liabilities recorded at fair value. The classification of assets and liabilities within the hierarchy is based on whether the inputs to the valuation methodology used for measurement are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market-derived or market-based information obtained from independent sources while unobservable inputs reflect our estimates about market data. In general, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities traded in active markets that the Company has the ability to access. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls has been determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2012, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2012-02, “Receivables: A Creditors Determination of Whether a Restructuring is a Troubled Debt Restructuring.” This Update provides additional guidance and clarification to help creditors in determining whether a creditor has granted a concession and whether the debtor is experiencing financial difficulties for purposes of determining whether a restructuring constitutes a troubled debt restructuring. The amendments in this Update are effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after June 15, 2012, and should be applied retrospectively to the beginning of the annual period of adoption. The adoption of this Accounting Standards Update did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company did, however, expand Note 4 to include additional disclosures regarding TDRs.

Table of Contents

In May 2012, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2012-04, “Fair Value Measurements.” This Update provides guidance that develops common requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs). The amendments in this Update explain how to measure fair value. They do not require additional fair value measurements and are not intended to establish valuation standards or affect valuation practices outside of financial reporting. The amendments in this Update should be applied prospectively and are effect during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of this Accounting Standards Update did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2012, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2012-05, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income.” This Update requires that an entity elect to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The entity is required to present on the face of the financial statements reclassification adjustments for items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income in the statement(s) where the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income are presented. The amendments in this Update should be applied retrospectively and are effective for public companies for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of this Accounting Standards Update did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In September 2012, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2012-08, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other: Testing Goodwill for Impairment.” This Update simplifies how entities test goodwill for impairment. The amendments of this Update permit an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test described in Topic 350. The amendments are effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2012. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this Accounting Standard Update is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In December 2012, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2012-12, “Comprehensive Income: Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2012-05.” The amendments of this Update supersede changes to those paragraphs in Update 2012-05 that pertain to how, when, and where reclassification adjustments are presented. The amendments of this Update are effective at the same time as the amendments in Update 2012-05 so that entities will not be required to comply with the presentation requirements in Update 2012-05 that this Update is deferring. The amendments in this Update should be applied retrospectively and are effective for public companies for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of this Accounting Standard Update did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

On February 1, 2013, the Company successfully completed the acquisition of Century Bank. A summary of the assets and liabilities acquired through this transaction is provided in Note 2, Business Combinations of this quarterly report. During the weekend of April 5, 2013, the Company successfully converted the Century Bank loan and deposit systems to the Company’s core operating system.

The Company earned $2,450 in first quarter 2013, compared to $2,716 in first quarter 2012. The decline in net income was primarily due to $1,246 of pre-tax merger expenses related to the Century Bank transaction, which lowered first quarter 2013 earnings by approximately $835, or $.05 per diluted share.

During first quarter 2013, the Company continued to experience organic growth in outstanding loans. Outstanding loans at March 31, 2013, were $950,083, up $79,667 over December 31, 2012, outstanding loans. Loans acquired in the Century Bank transaction accounted for $62,605 of first quarter 2013 loan growth, and organic loan growth was $16,966 during the quarter. Outstanding core deposits at March 31, 2013, were $960,743, up $22,114 from December 31, 2012. Core deposits at March 31, 2013, included $64,782 of Century Bank core deposits. Organic core deposits at March 31, 2013, were $895,961, down $42,668 from December 31, 2012, levels, which is a typical seasonal pattern during the first quarter.

Period-end assets at March 31, 2013, were $1,443,658, up $153,865, or 12 percent, over March 31, 2012. Approximately $65,000 of that increase was attributable to the Century Bank acquisition. Core deposits at March 31, 2013, were $960,743, up $101,813, or 12 percent, from one year ago, and up $22,114 from December 31, 2012. Year-to-date March 31, 2013, average core deposits were $943,315, an increase of $73,218 from the same period one year ago. Year-to-date average assets at March 31, 2013, were $1,411,988, up $127,361 from last year due to growth in average loans and average securities-available-for-sale.

Reconciliation of non-GAAP financial information

Management utilizes certain non-GAAP financial measures to monitor the Company’s performance. While we believe the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures provides additional insight into our operating performance, readers of this report are urged to review the GAAP results as presented in the Financial Statements in Item 1 of this report.

Table of Contents

The Company presents a computation of tangible equity along with tangible book value and return on average tangible equity. The Company defines tangible equity as total shareholders’ equity before goodwill and core deposit intangible assets. Tangible book value is calculated as tangible equity divided by total shares outstanding. Return on average tangible equity is calculated as net income divided by average tangible equity. We believe that tangible equity and certain tangible equity ratios are meaningful measures of capital adequacy which may be used when making period-to-period and company-to-company comparisons. Tangible equity and tangible equity ratios are considered to be non-GAAP financial measures and should be viewed in conjunction with total shareholders’ equity, book value and return on average equity. The following table presents a reconciliation of total shareholders’ equity to tangible equity.

Non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations, are not required to be uniformly applied, and are not audited. Although we believe these non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by stakeholders in the evaluation of a company, they have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analyses of results as reported under GAAP.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Interest Income

Net interest income is the primary source of the Company’s revenue. Net interest income is the difference between interest income derived from earning assets, principally loans, and interest expense associated with interest-bearing liabilities, principally deposits. The volume and mix of earning assets and funding sources, market rates of interest, demand for loans, and the availability of deposits affect net interest income.

The net interest margin for first quarter 2013 was 4.29 percent, an increase of 18 basis points over the fourth quarter 2012 margin of 4.11 percent, but down 10 basis points from the 4.39 percent reported for first quarter 2012.

This represents the first linked quarter increase in the net interest margin in the last three years. The increase in the margin is attributable to three factors 1) the accretion of $231 of the Century Bank fair value credit mark into interest income, 2) a reduction in the amortization of premiums paid on mortgage-backed securities due to lower levels of refinancing activity and 3) an improvement in the asset mix as average loans increased to 65 percent of total average assets. While the accretion on the Century Bank portfolio should continue for the next few years, the Company does not anticipate that the quarterly accretion will continue at levels experienced during first quarter 2013.

The Company’s earning asset yields increased by 15 basis points from 4.53 percent in fourth quarter 2012 to 4.68 percent in first quarter 2013. Both the securities portfolio and the loan portfolio experienced increases in the yields on a linked quarter basis. The yield on the loan portfolio for first quarter 2013 was 5.72 percent, down 4 basis points from fourth quarter 2012, while the yield on the securities portfolio increased to 2.26 percent, from the 2.02 percent reported for fourth quarter 2012. The decline in the yield on loans was partially offset by the accretion of the Century Bank fair value marks.

Table of Contents

The Company continued to lower its cost of funds as the cost of interest-bearing liabilities fell by 5 basis points from fourth quarter 2012 to first quarter 2013. The cost of both interest-bearing core deposits and wholesale funding declined in first quarter 2013 when compared to the prior quarter by 5 and 3 basis points, respectively.

The prolonged historically low interest rate environment, highly competitive pricing on new, existing loans, and declining yields available in the Company’s securities portfolio, and the fact that core deposits are priced at or near virtual floors, suggests long-term margin compression. However, as the Company anticipates continued loan growth and to the extent higher yielding loans replace lower yielding securities, some stabilization or potential improvement of the net interest margin is possible during 2013.

The following table presents condensed balance sheet information, together with interest income and yields on average interest earning assets, and interest expense and rates on interest-bearing liabilities, for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2012:

This decline in earning asset yields was primarily attributable to a lower yield on both the loan and securities portfolio when compared to the same quarter last year, as competitive pressure has reduced rates on new loan production and refinance of existing loans.

The decline in earning asset yields was partially offset by a decrease in the cost of funds. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities declined by 27 basis points from 0.81 percent in first quarter 2012 to 0.54 percent in first quarter 2013. The decline in rates is evident in each core deposit category as the cost of interest-bearing core deposits fell by 17 basis points from 0.53 percent in first quarter 2012 to 0.36 percent in first quarter 2013. The cost of wholesale funding also moved down from 1.53 percent in first quarter 2012 to 0.96 percent in first quarter 2013. All categories of wholesale funding showed a decline in rates with the exception of Fed Funds Purchased.

Tax-exempt income has been adjusted to a tax-equivalent basis at a 35% tax rate. The amount of such adjustment was an addition to recorded income of approximately $251 and $186 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, and March 31, 2012, respectively.

(2)

Defined by the Company as demand, interest checking, money market, savings and local nonpublic time deposits, including local nonpublic time deposits in excess of $100 thousand.

The first quarter 2013 rate/volume analysis shows that net interest income increased by $827 over first quarter 2012. First quarter 2013 interest income including loan fees increased by $404 from the same quarter last year with higher volumes of earning assets increasing interest income by $1,514, which was partially offset by a $1,110 decline in interest income due to lower rates. The increase in interest income was primarily due to higher loan volumes, which include the impact of the Century Bank acquisition in first quarter 2013. Also contributing to the increase in net interest income was a decline in interest expense of $424 in first quarter 2013 when compared to the same quarter last year. The decline in interest expense was related to lower rates on both core deposits and wholesale funding, which was partially offset by increased interest expense due to higher volumes.

The provision for loan losses through March 31, 2013, was $250, compared to $1,300 for the same period last year. The decrease in the provision was primarily the result of a reduction in the level of classified loans and nonperforming assets. The Company’s classified assets at March 31, 2013, were 32.84 percent of regulatory capital compared to 31.18 percent and 38.44 percent at December 31, 2012, and March 31, 2012, respectively. The small increase in classified assets at March 31, 2013, when compared to December 31, 2012, was due to the acquisition of Century Bank. Net charge offs through March 31, 2013, were $283 or annualized 0.13 percent of average loans, compared to net charge offs of $412 or 0.20 percent of average loans recorded for the same period in 2012. The allowance for loan losses for outstanding loans at March 31, 2013, was $16,312 or 1.72 percent of outstanding loans compared to 1.82 and 1.92 percent of outstanding loans at December 31, 2012, and March 31, 2012, respectively.

At March 31, 2013, $10,704 of loans (net of government guarantees) were classified as impaired. A specific allowance of $8 (included in the ending allowance at March 31, 2013) was assigned to these loans. That compares to impaired loans of $9,147 at December 31, 2012, and a specific allowance assigned of $2.

Total nonperforming assets, net of government guarantees, were $24,756, or 1.71 percent of total assets at March 31, 2013. That compares to nonperforming assets of $26,428 or 1.92 percent of total assets at December 31, 2012, and $35,141 or 2.72 percent of total assets at March 31, 2012. Nonperforming assets at March 31, 2013, consisted of $6,984 in nonaccrual loans (net of government guarantees), $0 in loans 90 days past due and still accruing interest, and $17,772 in other real estate owned.

Classified asset ratio is defined as the sum of all loan-related contingent liabilities and loans internally graded substandard or worse (net of government guarantees), adversely classified securities, and other real estate owned, divided by total consolidated Tier 1 capital plus the allowance for loan losses.

Nonperforming assets at March 31, 2013, declined $10,385 from the same period last year, and on a linked-quarter basis declined $1,672 from the end of fourth quarter 2012. Nonperforming loans at March 31, 2013, decreased $18,055 from the same period last year, including migration of nonperforming loans into other real estate owned, which showed an increase of $7,760 over the same period last year. Two properties, a commercial land development loan and a retail strip mall, valued at $11,218 and $3,844, respectively, accounted for 85 percent of total other real estate owned at March 31, 2013. While the Company is actively marketing both properties, the location and type of these two properties make them susceptible to possible future valuation write-downs as new appraisals become available.

Noninterest Income

Year-to-date March 31, 2013, noninterest income was $1,280, down $172 or 12 percent from the same period in 2012. The decrease in 2013 noninterest income when compared to last year was primarily attributable to a $72 reduction from Mortgage banking which was discontinued during first quarter 2012 and a $79 decrease in the other noninterest income category.

On a linked-quarter basis, first quarter 2013 noninterest income was down $102 from fourth quarter 2012 noninterest income. The linked-quarter decrease was mainly due to a decrease in BOLI investment income as the yield on investments was lower and lower merchant bankcard fees, which is typical of seasonal first quarter patterns.

Noninterest Expense

Year-to-date March 31, 2013 noninterest expense was $10,770, an increase of $2,051 or 24 percent from the same period in 2012. Excluding merger-related expenses, total noninterest expense for first quarter 2013 was $9,524 or up 9 percent over first quarter 2012 expenses. An increase of $566 or 12 percent in personnel expense accounted for the majority of increased noninterest expense in first quarter 2013 when merger-related expenses are excluded. The increase in personnel expense was due to a $250 or 7 percent increase in base salaries, much of which was attributable to additional staff related to the Century Bank acquisition, and an increase of $143 or 35 percent in group insurance over first quarter 2012.

On a linked-quarter basis, noninterest expense in first quarter 2013 was up $1,862 over fourth quarter 2012. The linked-quarter increase in expense was primarily due to merger-related expenses in first quarter 2013 from the Century Bank acquisition and personnel expense. The increase in personnel expense was due to the full effect of staff additions during fourth quarter 2012 and additions to staff from the Century Bank acquisition.

BALANCE SHEET

Loans

At March 31, 2013, outstanding loans were, $950,828, up $79,571 from December 31, 2012, and up $125,241 from March 31, 2012. Loans acquired in the Century Bank acquisition accounted for $62,605 of the first quarter 2013 and year-over-year growth. All loans acquired in the Century Bank acquisition are included in the Eugene market loan totals. A summary of outstanding loans by market at March 31, 2013, December 31, 2012, and March 31, 2012, follows:

Excluding loans acquired in the Century Bank acquisition, which are included in the Eugene market loan totals, all of the Company’s primary markets, with the exception of the Seattle market, had an increase in outstanding loans at March 31, 2012, when compared to the prior quarter-end and prior year quarter-end. Organic loan growth totaled $16,966 during the first quarter 2013. The increase in Eugene and Portland market loans was primarily related to an increase in health care lending, owner-occupied real estate loans, and commercial and industrial loans. The decline in the Seattle market loans was reflective of more pronounced exposure to commercial real estate construction and land development loans, an area that has continued to contract.

Growth in out-of-market health care loans accounted for $10,913 or 64.3 percent of the total increase in first quarter 2013 outstanding loans. The Company defines “health care loans” as loans to health professionals including dentists, physicians, health facilities, and veterinary medicine. The Company’s defined “market area” is within the states of Oregon and Washington west of the Cascade Mountain Range. This area is serviced by branch locations in Eugene, Oregon; Portland, Oregon; and Seattle, Washington. Out-of-market health care loans are maintained and serviced by personnel primarily located in the Portland market.

Outstanding loans to dental professionals, which are comprised of both in and out-of-market loans, at March 31, 2013, totaled $279,980 or 29.4 percent of the loan portfolio, compared to $270,782 or 31.1 percent of the loan portfolio at December 31, 2012. Growth in out-of-market dental loans accounted for all of the total increase in outstanding dental loans during first quarter 2013. At March 31, 2013, $18,124 or 6.47 percent of the outstanding dental loans were supported by government guarantees. Loans to dental professionals include loans for such purposes as starting up a practice, acquisition of a practice, equipment financing, owner-occupied facilities, and working capital. Out-of-market dental loans are limited only to acquisition of a seasoned practice by experienced dental professionals and owner-occupied real estate loans. In addition to growth in the dental industry, growth was also experienced in the wider health care field with loans to physicians, surgeons, optometrists, family practitioners, and medical specialists. Additional data on the Company’s dental loan portfolio and the credit quality of this portfolio can be found in Note 5 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this report.

Detailed credit quality data on the entire loan portfolio can be found in Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this report.

Securities

At March 31, 2013, the securities available-for-sale totaled $379,766, down $10,119 from December 31, 2012, and up $12,850 over March 31, 2012. The securities portfolio represented 26.3 percent of total assets at March 31, 2013, down from 28.4 percent at March 31, 2012. At March 31, 2013, the portfolio had an unrealized taxable gain of $8,348 compared to an unrealized taxable gain of $9,431 at December 31, 2012. During first quarter 2013, the Company purchased $23,084 in new securities, while receiving $28,221 in cash flow from the portfolio. Municipal securities with a book value of $1,851 were sold during the first quarter of 2013. These securities were sold at a loss of $8. Purchases during first quarter 2013 consisted of high-quality agency mortgage-backed securities and longer-term tax-exempt municipals. At March 31, 2013, taxable and tax-exempt municipal securities were $80,471 and comprised 21.2 percent of the total portfolio. Management has exercised caution in its purchases of municipals, relying on credit reports, demographic information and general fund balances. The municipal portion of the portfolio is diversified by issuing municipality with some areas being avoided at March 31, 2013, and the Company did not have significant exposure to any single municipality. The first quarter 2013 purchases supported the Company’s strategy of positioning the securities portfolio to provide earnings and hedge the balance sheet against a rates-up scenario due to the Company’s liability sensitive position. In an unchanged rate environment, the portfolio is expected to produce annual cash flow of approximately $76,447, primarily from the mortgage-backed portion of the portfolio. At March 31, 2013, the portfolio had an average life of 4.2 years and duration of 3.8 years, virtually unchanged from the average life and duration at December 31, 2012.

At March 31, 2013, $8,106 or 2.1 percent of the total securities portfolio was comprised of private-label mortgage-backed securities. Monthly, management reviews all available information, including current and projected default rates and current and projected loss severities, related to the collectability of its potentially impaired investment securities. During the first quarter of 2013, management determined it was prudent to book $16 in OTTI expense related to the private-label mortgage-backed securities. Additional recognition of OTTI on the private-label mortgage-backed portion of the portfolio is possible in future quarters depending upon economic conditions, default rates on home mortgages, loss severities on foreclosed homes, unemployment levels, and home values.

In management’s opinion, the remaining securities in the portfolio in an unrealized loss position are considered only temporarily impaired. The Company has no intent, nor is it more likely than not, that it will be required to sell these securities before their recovery. Management believes that substantially all decreases in fair value of the remaining securities are due to changes in market interest rates or the widening of market spreads subsequent to the initial purchase of the securities, and not due to concerns regarding the underlying credit of the issuers or the underlying collateral. The decline in value of these securities has resulted from current economic conditions. Although yields on these securities may be below market rates during the period, no loss of principal is expected.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

At March 31, 2013, the Company had a recorded balance of $22,945 in goodwill from the November 30, 2005, acquisition of Northwest Business Financial Corporation (“NWBF”) and the February 1, 2013, acquisition of Century Bank. In addition, at March 31, 2013, the Company had $825 of core deposit intangible assets resulting from the acquisition of Century Bank. The core deposit intangible was determined to have an expected life of seven years, and is being amortized over that period using the straight-line method and will be fully amortized in January 2020. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, the Company does not amortize goodwill or other intangible assets with indefinite lives, but instead periodically tests these assets for impairment. Management performs an impairment analysis of the intangible assets with indefinite lives at least annually, but more frequently if an impairment triggering event is deemed to have occured. The last impairment test was performed at December 31, 2012, at which time no impairment was determined to exist.

Deposits

Core deposits, which are defined by the Company as demand, interest checking, money market, savings, and nonpublic local time deposits, including nonpublic local time deposits in excess of $100, were $960,743 and represented 90 percent of total deposits at March 31, 2013. Outstanding core deposits at March 31, 2013, included $64,782 of deposits acquired in the Century Bank transaction. Excluding the Century Bank core deposits, March 31, 2013, core deposits were down $42,668 during the quarter, which is typical of first quarter seasonal patterns. The decline in first quarter 2013 core deposits (excluding Century Bank deposits acquired) was primarily related to volatility in large depositor balances, including approximately $20,000 in temporary funds in a single large depositor at December 31, 2012, that was withdrawn shortly after year-end. All three of the Company’s primary markets showed a decline in core deposits during first quarter 2013, with the exception of the Eugene market, which includes the Century Bank acquired deposits, when compared to the prior quarter end.

Junior Subordinated Debentures

The Company had $8,248 in junior subordinated debentures outstanding at March 31, 2013, which were issued in conjunction with the 2005 acquisition of NWBF and had an interest rate of 6.265 percent that was fixed through January 2011. In January 2011, the rate on the junior subordinated debentures changed to three-month LIBOR plus 135 basis points. At March 31, 2013, the entire balance of the junior subordinated debentures qualified as Tier 1 capital under regulatory capital guidelines.

In July 2010, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (“Dodd-Frank Act”) was signed into law which, among other things, limits the ability of certain bank holding companies to treat trust preferred security debt issuances, such as the Company’s junior subordinated debentures, as Tier 1 capital. This law may require many banks to raise new Tier 1 capital and will effectively close the trust-preferred securities markets from offering new issuances in the future. In June 2012, the Federal Reserve and the other U.S. banking regulators jointly issued three notices of proposed rule-making (“NPRs”) that would revise the regulatory capital rules for U.S. banking organizations and align them with the Basel III capital framework. Under the proposed rules, our trust preferred securities would be phased out of Tier 1 capital at a rate of 10 percent per year over a 10-year period. The rules would be implemented on a graduated, transitional basis through 2018. The proposed rules are not yet final and are subject to further modification by the federal banking agencies. Please refer to “Risk Factors” and “Business – Supervision and Regulation” in the Company’s 2012 Form 10-K for more information about these proposed rules and their potential impact on the Company.

Additional information regarding the terms of the junior subordinated debentures, including maturity/repricing dates and interest rate, is included in Note 11 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s 2012 Form 10-K.

Capital Resources

Capital is the shareholders’ investment in the Company. Capital grows through the retention of earnings and the issuance of new stock whether through stock offerings or through the exercise of equity incentives. Capital formation allows the Company to grow assets and provides flexibility in times of adversity.

Shareholders’ equity at March 31, 2013, was $182,458, relatively unchanged from December 31, 2012. In March 2013, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to five percent of the Company’s outstanding common shares, or approximately 892,000 shares, with the purchases to take place over the next 12 months. The repurchase plan commenced on April 1, 2013. The Company intends to use a combination of regular dividends, special dividends, and share repurchases to maintain capital levels during 2013 comparable with year-end December 31, 2012, capital levels. For additional details regarding the changes in equity, review the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Shareholders’ on page 6 of this report.

The Federal Reserve Board and the FDIC have in place guidelines for risk-based capital requirements applicable to U.S. bank holding companies and banks. These risk-based capital guidelines take into consideration risk factors, as defined by regulation, associated with various categories of assets, both on and off-balance sheet. Under the guidelines, capital strength is measured in three ways, first by measuring Tier 1 capital to leverage assets, followed by capital measurement in two tiers, which are used in conjunction with risk-adjusted assets to determine the risk-based capital ratios. These guidelines require a minimum of 4 percent Tier 1 capital to leverage assets, 4 percent Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets, and 8 percent total capital to risk-weighted assets. In order to be classified as “well-capitalized,” the highest capital rating, by the Federal Reserve and FDIC, these three ratios must be in excess of 5.00 percent, 6.00 percent, and 10.00 percent, respectively. The Company’s leverage capital ratio, Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio, and Total risk-based capital ratio were 11.71 percent, 15.38 percent, and 16.62 percent, respectively, at March 31, 2013, all ratios being well above the minimum well-capitalized designation.

In June 2012, the federal banking agencies each issued NPRs that would revise regulatory capital rules for U.S. banking organizations and align them with the Basel III capital framework issued by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision. During the fourth quarter 2012, the federal banking agencies advised that the implementation of the proposed rules would be postponed. However, revisions to the agencies’ capital rules are expected to include, among other things, revised risk-based and leverage capital requirements, implementation of a new common equity Tier 1 minimum capital requirement, and a higher minimum Tier 1 capital requirement. Under the proposed rules, it is expected the Company’s trust preferred securities would be phased out of Tier 1 capital over a period of time. Please refer to “Risk Factors” and “Business – Supervision and Regulation” in the Company’s 2012 Form 10-K for more information about these proposed rules. The proposed rules are not yet final and are subject to further modification by the federal banking agencies. Once final rules are in place, the Company will analyze the impact the rules would have on its capital management policy and expects to exceed the minimum capital requirements within the prescribed implementation timelines.

For a number of years, the Company has paid cash dividends on a quarterly basis, typically in February, May, August and November of each year. The Board of Directors considers the dividend amount quarterly and takes a broad perspective in its dividend deliberations including a review of recent operating performance, capital levels, and concentrations of loans as a percentage of capital, and growth projections. The Board also considers dividend payout ratios, dividend yield, and other financial metrics in setting the quarterly dividend. There can be no assurance that dividends will be paid in the future.

The Board of Directors, at its January 15, 2013, meeting, approved a regular dividend of $0.08 per share and a special dividend of $0.08 per share that was paid on February 11, 2013. Subsequent to the end of second quarter 2013, on April 21, 2013, the Board of Directors declared a regular dividend of $0.09 per share and a special dividend of $0.05 per share payable to shareholders on May 15, 2013. The Company believes that it has sufficient liquidity to maintain this level of regular dividends throughout 2013. The Company projects that existing capital will be sufficient to fund anticipated organic asset growth, while maintaining a well-capitalized designation from all regulatory agencies.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS AND COMMITMENTS

In the normal course of business, the Company commits to extensions of credit and issues letters of credit. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments to lend funds and conditional obligations as it does for other credit products. In the event of nonperformance by the customer, the Company’s exposure to credit loss is represented by the contractual amount of the instruments. Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established by the contract. Since some commitments may expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. At March 31, 2013, the Company had $157,742 in commitments to extend credit.

Letters of credit written are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee performance of a customer to a third party. The credit risk involved is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. At March 31, 2013, the Company had $801 in letters of credit and financial guarantees outstanding.

LIQUIDITY AND CASH FLOWS

Liquidity is the term used to define the Company’s ability to meet its financial commitments. The Company maintains sufficient liquidity to ensure funds are available for both lending needs and the withdrawal of deposit funds. The Company derives liquidity through core deposit growth, maturity of investment securities, and loan payments. Core deposits include demand, interest checking, money market, savings, and local time deposits, including local nonpublic time deposits in excess of $100. Additional liquidity and funding sources are provided through the sale of loans, sales of securities, access to national CD markets, and both secured and unsecured borrowings. The Company uses a number of measurements to monitor its liquidity position on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis, which includes its ability to meet both short-term and long-term obligations, and requires the Company to maintain a certain amount of liquidity on the asset side of its balance sheet. The Company also prepares quarterly projections of its liquidity position 30 days, 90 days, 180 days, and 1 year into the future. In addition, the Company prepares a Liquidity Contingency Plan at least semi-annually that is strategic in nature and forward-looking to test the ability of the Company to fund a liquidity shortfall arising from various escalating events. The Liquidity Contingency Plan is presented and reviewed by the Company’s Asset and Liability Committee.

Core deposits at March 31, 2013, were $960,743 and represented 90 percent of total deposits. Core deposits at March 31, 2013, included $64,782 of core deposits acquired in the Century Bank transaction. During first quarter 2013 and excluding deposits acquired in the Century Bank transaction, the Company experienced a decline in its core deposit base, which was primarily the result of volatility and temporary balances of the large depositor base. The Company experienced an increase in outstanding loans, while the securities portfolio declined during the current quarter, thus providing a funding source for loan growth. The securities portfolio represented 26 percent of total assets at March 31, 2013. At March 31, 2013, $28,939 of the securities portfolio was pledged to support public deposits, leaving $350,827 of the securities portfolio unencumbered and available-for-sale. In addition, at March 31, 2013, the Company had $36,957 of government guaranteed loans that could be sold in the secondary market to support the Company’s liquidity position.

Due to its strategic focus to market to specific segments, the Company has been successful in developing deposit relationships with several large clients, which are generally defined as deposit relationships of $1,000 or more, which are closely monitored by management and Company officers. At March 31, 2013, thirty-three large deposit relationships with the Company accounted for $294,385 or 30.6 percent of total outstanding core deposits. The single largest client represented 4.7 percent of outstanding core deposits at March 31, 2013. The loss of this deposit relationship or other large deposit relationships could cause an adverse effect on short-term liquidity. The Company uses a 10-point risk-rating system to evaluate each of its large depositors in order to assist management in its daily monitoring of the volatility of this portion of its core deposit base. The risk-rating system attempts to determine the stability of the deposits of each large depositor, evaluating among other things the length of time the depositor has been with the Company and the likelihood of loss of individual large depositor relationships. Risk ratings on large depositors are reviewed at least quarterly and adjusted if necessary. Company management and officers maintain close relationships and hold regular meetings with its large depositors to assist in management of these relationships. The Company expects to maintain these relationships, believes it has sufficient sources of liquidity to mitigate the loss of one or more of these clients and regularly tests its ability to mitigate the loss of multiple large depositor relationships in its Liquidity Contingency Plan. There can be no assurance that these large depositor relationships will be maintained or that the loss of one or more of these events will not adversely affect the Company’s liquidity.

At March 31, 2013, the Company had secured borrowing lines with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Seattle (“FHLB”) and the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco (“FRB”), along with unsecured borrowing lines with various correspondent banks totaling $445,893. The Company’s secured lines with the FHLB and FRB were limited by the amount of collateral pledged. At March 31, 2013, the Company had pledged $243,685 in discounted collateral value in commercial real estate loans, first and second lien single-family residential loans, multi-family loans, and securities to the FHLB. Additionally, certain commercial and commercial real estate loans with a discounted value of $89,208 were pledged to the FRB under the Company’s Borrower-In-Custody program. The Company’s unsecured correspondent bank lines totaled $113,000. At March 31, 2013, the Company had $178,000 in borrowings outstanding from the FHLB, $0 outstanding with the FRB, and $4,450 outstanding on its overnight correspondent bank lines, leaving a total of $263,443 available on its secured and unsecured borrowing lines as of such date.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $1,570 during the three months ended March 31, 2013. Net cash of $12,567 was used in investing activities, consisting principally of a net loan principal increase of $16,515, which was partially offset by net proceeds from investment securities of $7,041. For the months ended March  31, 2013 cash provided by financing activities was $8,357 and primarily consisted of an increase in FHLB borrowings.

ITEM 3 Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

There has been no material change in the Company’s exposure to market risk. Readers are referred to the Company’s 2012 Form 10-K and the Annual Report to Shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2012, for additional information.

ITEM 4 Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Our disclosure controls and procedures have been designed to meet reasonable assurance standards. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also 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.

Table of Contents

Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, that materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1 Legal Proceedings

During the second quarter 2012, a total of $2,758 in funds disbursed to the Bank by Order of the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Arizona in the case In re Washington Coast I, L.L.C., Structural Investments & Planning IV, L.L.C., pending appeal by Resource Funding, Inc. to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals of the Final Judgment in adversary matter Pacific Continental Bank v. Resource Funding, Inc. and affirmation of such judgment by the Ninth Circuit Bankruptcy Appellate Panel. These funds were applied as a reduction to nonperforming loans during the quarter. Management believes that the outcome of the appeal will be decided in favor of the Bank; however, if the Final Judgment is overturned, reversed or vacated, the Bank will be required to return the disbursed funds to the Court Clerk.

We may from time to time be involved in claims, proceedings and litigation arising from our business and property ownership. We believe, based on currently available information, that the results of such proceedings, in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.

ITEM 1A Risk Factors

For a discussion of risk factors relating to our business, please refer to item 1A of Part I of our 2012 Form 10-K, which is incorporated by reference herein, in addition to the following information:

Industry Factors

The continued challenges in the U.S. and our region’s economies could have a material adverse effect on our future results of operations or market price of our stock; there can be no assurance that U.S. governmental measures responding to these challenges will successfully address these circumstances; the U.S. government continues to face significant fiscal and budgetary challenges which, if not resolved, may further exacerbate U.S. economic conditions.

The national economy and the financial services sector in particular are still facing challenges. A large percentage of our loans are to businesses in western Washington and Oregon, markets facing many of the same challenges as the national economy, including elevated unemployment and weakness in commercial and residential real estate values. Although some economic indicators are improving both nationally and in the markets we serve, unemployment remains high and there remains uncertainty regarding the strength of the economic recovery. A continued slow economic recovery could result in the following consequences, any of which could have an adverse impact, which may be material, on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects, and could also cause the market price of our stock to decline:

 

   

Economic conditions may not stabilize, increasing the likelihood of credit defaults by borrowers.

 

   

Loan collateral values, especially as they relate to commercial and residential real estate, may decline further, thereby increasing the severity of loss in the event of loan defaults.

 

   

Demand for banking products and services may decline, including loan products and services for low cost and noninterest-bearing deposits.

 

   

Changes and volatility in interest rates may negatively impact the yields on earning assets and the cost of interest-bearing liabilities.

Our earnings and growth are affected not only by general economic conditions, but also by the fiscal and monetary policies of the federal government, particularly the Federal Reserve. Refer to “Supervision and Regulation” in Item 1 of our 2012, form 10-K for discussion of certain of these measures. In response to the adverse financial and economic developments that have, since 2008, impacted the U.S. and global economies and financial markets, and presented challenges for the banking and financial services industry, various significant economic and monetary stimulus measures were enacted by the U.S. Congress. It cannot be predicted whether these or other U.S. governmental actions will result in lasting improvement in financial and economic conditions affecting the U.S. banking industry and the U.S. economy. It also cannot be predicted whether and to what extent the efforts of the U.S. government to combat the mixed economic conditions will continue. If, notwithstanding the government’s fiscal and monetary measures, the U.S. economy were to deteriorate, this would present significant challenges for the U.S. banking and financial services industry and for our Company.

The challenges to the level of economic activity in the U.S., and, therefore, to the banking industry, have also been exacerbated by the extensive political disagreements regarding the statutory debt limit on U.S. federal government obligations and measures to address the substantial federal deficits. Following enactment of federal legislation in August 2011 which averted a default by the U.S. federal government on its sovereign obligations by raising the statutory debt limit and which established a process whereby cuts in federal spending may be accomplished, Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services (Standard & Poor’s) lowered its long-term sovereign credit rating on the U.S. to “AA+” from “AAA” while affirming its highest rating on short-term U.S. obligations. Standard & Poor’s also stated that its outlook on the long-term rating remained negative. At the present time, the other two major U.S. credit rating agencies have not lowered their credit rating on the U.S.; however, both of them have stated that their outlook on the U.S. is negative. Although it is not possible to predict the long-term impact of these developments on the U.S. economy in general and the banking industry in particular, the downgrade by Standard & Poor’s and any further downgrades by it or other rating agencies could increase over time the U.S. federal government’s cost of borrowing which may worsen its fiscal challenges, as well as generating upward pressure on interest rates generally in the U.S. which could, in turn, have adverse consequences for borrowers and the level of business activity. On January 2, 2013, the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 was signed into law by the President. The Act averted the sharp decline in the federal budget deficit that would have occurred beginning in 2013 due to increased taxes and reduced federal government spending as required by previously enacted laws. Many observers had suggested that such a sharp decline in the deficit would have led to a recession and increased unemployment in the U.S. The Act raises additional revenues for the federal government through increases in marginal income tax rates for higher earners, increases in capital gains rates, a phase-out of various tax deductions and credits, an increase in estate tax rates and the expiration of payroll tax cuts. Under the Act, the mandatory reduction in federal spending due to budget sequestration was delayed for two months and the federal debt ceiling was not changed. Following unsuccessful negotiations between the Administration and Republicans in the Congress the mandated federal spending cuts, including with respect to entitlements and defense became effective on March 1, 2013. The impact of these developments cannot be predicted with any certainty, but could have further adverse consequences for the credit ratings of U.S. sovereign obligations and also present additional challenges for the U.S. economy. Any of the foregoing developments could generate further uncertainties and challenges for the U.S. economy which, in turn, could adversely affect the prospects of the banking industry in the U.S. and our business.

We operate in a highly regulated environment and the effects of recent and pending federal legislation or of changes in, or supervisory enforcement of, banking or other laws and regulations could adversely affect us.

As discussed more fully in the section entitled “Supervision and Regulation” in the Company’s 2012 Form 10-K, we are subject to extensive regulation, supervision and examination by federal and state banking authorities. In addition, as a publicly traded company, we are subject to regulation by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Any change in applicable regulations or federal, state or local legislation could have a substantial impact on us and our operations. Additional legislation and regulations that could significantly affect our powers, authority and operations may be enacted or adopted in the future, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

In that regard, sweeping financial regulatory reform legislation (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) was enacted in July 2010. Among other provisions, the new legislation (i) creates a new Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection with broad powers to regulate consumer financial products such as credit cards and mortgages, (ii) creates a Financial Stability Oversight Council comprised of the heads of other regulatory agencies, (iii) will lead to new capital requirements from federal banking agencies, (iv) places new limits on electronic debit card interchange fees, and (v) requires the Securities and Exchange Commission and national stock exchanges to adopt significant new corporate governance and executive compensation reforms. The new legislation and regulations are likely to increase the overall costs of regulatory compliance.

In June 2012, the Federal Reserve and the other U.S. banking regulators jointly issued three notices of proposed rule-making (“NPRs”) that would revise the regulatory capital rules for U.S. banking organizations and align them with the Basel III capital framework. The NPRs, in their current form, would establish more restrictive capital definitions, additional categories and higher risk-weightings for certain asset classes and off-balance sheet items, higher minimum capital ratios and capital buffers that would be added to the minimum capital requirements. Under the proposed rules, our trust preferred securities would be phased out of Tier 1 capital at a rate of 10 percent per year over a 10-year period. The rules would be implemented on a graduated, transitional basis through 2018. At the end of the transitional period, banks and bank holding companies would be required to maintain a minimum ratio of Tier 1 common equity to risk-weighted assets of at least 7 percent, composed of a minimum ratio of 4.5 percent and a 2.5 percent capital conservation buffer. On November 9, 2012, the Federal Reserve and the other U.S. banking regulators, in response to comments received on the NPRs, announced that they were deferring the effectiveness of this proposal, and a revised timeline for when the rules will go into effect has not been released. During the first part of 2013, the agencies are expected to be considering comments from the industry and the public, and the final rules may differ from the proposed rules. The implementation of these new standards could have an adverse impact on our financial position and future earnings due to the inclusion of Tier 1 capital as a core capital component and because of the heightened minimum capital requirements. While the ultimate implementation of these proposals is subject to the discretion of the federal bank regulators and there is no assurance that these proposals will be adopted in their current form, these proposals, if adopted, could restrict our ability to grow during favorable market conditions or require us to raise additional capital and liquidity. The application of more stringent capital requirements would, among other things, result in lower returns on invested capital and result in regulatory sanctions if we were unable to comply with said requirements. As a result, our business, results of operations, financial condition or prospects could be adversely affected.

In recent months, the federal bank regulators have announced regulatory enforcement actions against a number of large bank holding companies and banks arising from deficiencies in processes, procedures and controls involving anti-money laundering measures and compliance with the economic sanctions that affect transactions with designated foreign countries, nationals and others as provided for in the regulations of the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Treasury Department. These actions evidence an intensification of the U.S. government’s expectations for compliance with these regulatory regimes on the part of banks operating in the U.S., including Pacific Continental Bank, and may result in increased compliance costs and increased risks of regulatory sanctions.

Regulators have significant discretion and authority to prevent or remedy unsafe or unsound practices or violations of laws or regulations by financial institutions and holding companies in the performance of their supervisory and enforcement duties. Recently, these powers have been utilized more frequently due to the serious national, regional and local economic conditions we are facing. The exercise of regulatory authority may have a negative impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

We cannot accurately predict the ultimate effects of recent legislation or the various governmental, regulatory, monetary and fiscal initiatives which have been and may be enacted on the financial markets, on the Company and on the Bank. The terms and costs of these activities, or the failure of these actions to help stabilize the financial markets, asset prices, market liquidity and a continuation or worsening of current financial market and economic conditions, could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and the trading price of our common stock.

Company Factors

Loan concentrations within one industry may create additional risk, and we have a significant concentration in loans to dental professionals.

Bank regulatory authorities and investors generally view significant loan concentrations within any particular industry as carrying higher inherent risk than a loan portfolio without any significant concentration in one industry. We have a significant concentration of loans to dental professionals which represented 29.4 percent in principal amount of our total loan portfolio at March 31, 2013. While we apply credit practices which we believe to be prudent to these loans as well as all the other loans in our portfolio, due to our concentration in dental lending we are exposed to the general risks of industry concentration, which include adverse market factors impacting that industry alone or disproportionately to other industries. In addition, bank regulatory authorities may in the future require us to limit additional lending in the dental industry if they have concerns that our concentration in that industry creates significant risks, which in turn could limit our ability to pursue new loans in an area where we believe we currently have a competitive advantage.

Nonperforming assets take significant time to resolve and adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

At March 31, 2013, our nonperforming loans (which include all nonaccrual loans, net of government guarantees) were 0.74 percent of the loan portfolio. At March 31, 2013, our nonperforming assets (which include foreclosed real estate) were 1.71 percent of total assets. These levels of nonperforming loans and assets are at elevated levels compared to our historical norms. Nonperforming loans and assets adversely affect our net income in various ways. Until economic and market conditions improve, we expect to continue to incur losses relating to nonperforming assets. We generally do not record interest income on nonperforming loans or other real estate owned, thereby adversely affecting our income, and increasing our loan administration costs. When we take collateral in foreclosures and similar proceedings, we are required to mark the related asset to the then fair market value of the collateral, less estimated selling expenses, which may ultimately result in a loss. An increase in the level of nonperforming assets increases our risk profile and may impact the capital levels our regulators believe are appropriate in light of the ensuing risk profile. While we reduce problem assets through loan sales, workouts, and restructurings and otherwise, decreases in the value of the underlying collateral, or in these borrowers’ performance or financial condition, whether or not due to economic and market conditions beyond our control, could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition, perhaps materially. In addition, the resolution of nonperforming assets requires significant commitments of time from management and our directors which can be detrimental to the performance of their other responsibilities. Any significant future increase in nonperforming assets could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We may not have the ability to continue paying dividends on our common stock at current or historic levels.

On January 16, 2013, we announced a quarterly dividend of $0.08 per share, payable February 11, 2013, an increase of $0.01 per share over the prior quarter’s dividend, and declared a special cash dividend of $0.08 per share. Subsequent to the end of second quarter 2013, on April 21, 2013, the Board of Directors declared a regular dividend of $0.09 per share and a special dividend of $0.05 per share payable to shareholders on May 15, 2013. Our ability to pay dividends on our common stock depends on a variety of factors. It is possible in the future that we may not be able to continue paying quarterly dividends commensurate with historic levels, if at all. As a holding company, a substantial portion of our cash flow typically comes from dividends our bank subsidiary pays to us. Cash dividends will depend on sufficient earnings to support them and adherence to bank regulatory requirements. If the Bank is not able to pay dividends to the Company, the Company may not be able to pay dividends on its common stock. Consequently, the inability to receive dividends from the Bank could adversely affect the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

We may be required, in the future, to recognize impairment with respect to investment securities, including the FHLB stock we hold.

Our securities portfolio contains whole loan private mortgage-backed securities and municipal securities and currently includes securities with unrecognized losses. We may continue to observe volatility in the fair market value of these securities. We evaluate the securities portfolio for any other-than-temporary-impairment (“OTTI”) each reporting period, as required by generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Future evaluations of the securities portfolio could require us to recognize impairment charges. The credit quality of securities issued by certain municipalities has deteriorated in recent quarters. Although management does not believe the credit quality of the Company’s municipal securities has similarly deteriorated, such deterioration could occur in the future. For example, it is possible that government-sponsored programs to allow mortgages to be refinanced to lower rates could materially adversely impact the yield on our portfolio of mortgage-backed securities, since a significant portion of our investment portfolio is composed of such securities.

In addition, as a condition to membership in the Federal Home Loan Bank of Seattle (“FHLB”), we are required to purchase and hold a certain amount of FHLB stock. Our stock purchase requirement is based, in part, upon the outstanding principal balance of advances from the FHLB. At March 31, 2013, we had stock in the FHLB totaling $10,718. The FHLB stock held by us is carried at cost and is subject to recoverability testing under applicable accounting standards. As of March 31, 2013, we did not recognize an impairment charge related to our FHLB stock holdings. Future negative changes to the financial condition of the FHLB could require us to recognize an impairment charge with respect to such holdings.

If the goodwill we have recorded in connection with acquisitions becomes impaired, it could have an adverse impact on our reported earnings.

At March 31, 2013, we had $22,945 of goodwill on our balance sheet. In accordance with GAAP, our goodwill is not amortized but rather evaluated for impairment on an annual basis or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that a potential impairment exists. Such evaluation is based on a variety of qualitative and quantitative factors, including macroeconomic conditions, industry and market conditions, cost factors, overall financial performance, and other relevant entity-specific events. At December 31, 2012, we did not recognize an impairment charge related to our goodwill. Future evaluations of goodwill may result in findings of impairment and write downs, which could be material.

A failure in our operational systems or infrastructure, or those of third-parties, could impair our liquidity, disrupt our businesses, result in the unauthorized disclosure of confidential information, damage our reputation and cause financial losses.

We are dependent on third-parties and their ability to process and monitor, on a daily basis, a large number of transactions, many of which are highly complex, across numerous and diverse markets. These transactions, as well as the information technology services we provide to clients, often must adhere to client-specific guidelines, as well as legal and regulatory standards. Due to the breadth of our client base and our geographical reach, developing and maintaining our operational systems and infrastructure is challenging, particularly as a result of rapidly evolving legal and regulatory requirements and technological shifts. Our financial, accounting, data processing or other operating systems and facilities may fail to operate properly or become disabled as a result of events that are wholly or partially beyond our control, such as a spike in transaction volume, cyber-security attack or other unforeseen catastrophic events, which may adversely affect our ability to process these transactions or provide services.

In addition, our operations rely on the secure processing, storage and transmission of confidential and other information on our computer systems and networks. Although we take numerous protective measures to maintain the confidentiality, integrity and availability of our and our clients’ information across all geographic and product lines, and endeavor to modify these protective measures as circumstances warrant, the nature of the threats continues to evolve. As a result, our computer systems, software and networks may be vulnerable to unauthorized access, loss or destruction of data (including confidential client information), account takeovers, unavailability of service, computer viruses or other malicious code, cyber-security attacks and other events that could have an adverse security impact. The ability of our customers to bank remotely, including online and through mobile devices, requires secure transmission of confidential information and increases the risk of data security breaches, which would expose us to financial claims by customers or others and which could adversely affect our reputation.

Despite the defensive measures we take to manage our internal technological and operational infrastructure, these threats may originate externally from third-parties, such as foreign governments, organized crime and other hackers, and outsource or infrastructure-support providers and application developers, or the threats may originate from within our organization. Given the increasingly high volume of our transactions, certain errors may be repeated or compounded before they can be discovered and rectified.

We also face the risk of operational disruption, failure, termination or capacity constraints of any of the third-parties that facilitate our business activities, including exchanges, clearing agents, clearing houses or other financial intermediaries. Such parties could also be the source of an attack on, or breach of, our operational systems, data or infrastructure. In addition, as interconnectivity with our clients grows, we increasingly face the risk of operational failure with respect to our clients’ systems.

Although we have not experienced a cyber-security incident, if one or more of these events occurs, it could potentially jeopardize the confidential, proprietary and other information processed and stored in, and transmitted through, our computer systems and networks, or otherwise cause interruptions or malfunctions in our, as well as our clients’ or other third-parties’ operations, which could result in damage to our reputation, substantial costs, regulatory penalties and/or client dissatisfaction or loss. Even if cyber-attacks and similar tactics are not directed specifically at Pacific Continental Bank, such attacks on large financial institutions could disrupt the overall functioning of the financial system and undermine consumer confidence in banks generally, to the detriment of other financial institutions, including the Bank. Potential costs of a cyber-security incident may include, but would not be limited to, remediation costs, increased protection costs, lost revenue from the unauthorized use of proprietary information or the loss of current and/or future customers, and litigation.

We maintain an insurance policy which we believe provides sufficient coverage at a manageable expense for an institution of our size and scope with similar technological systems. However, we cannot assure that this policy would be sufficient to cover all financial losses, damages, penalties, including lost revenues, should we experience any one or more of our or a third-party’s systems failing or experiencing attack.
