1. Nature of Business

Organization

Pacific Mercantile Bancorp (“PMBC”) is a bank holding company which, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Pacific Mercantile Bank (the “Bank”) is engaged in the commercial banking business in Southern California. PMBC is registered as a one bank holding company under the United States Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, and, as such, is regulated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve Board”) and the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco (“FRBSF”) under delegated authority from the Federal Reserve Board. Substantially all of our operations are conducted and substantially all of our assets are owned by the Bank, which accounts for substantially all of our consolidated revenues, expenses, and income. The Bank provides a full range of banking services to small and medium-size businesses, professionals and the general public in Orange, Los Angeles, San Bernardino and San Diego counties in Southern California and is subject to competition from other banks and financial institutions and from financial services organizations conducting operations in those same markets. The Bank is chartered by the California Department of Business Oversight under the Division of Financial Institutions (“DFI”) and is a member of the FRBSF. In addition, the deposit accounts of the Bank’s customers are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to the maximum amount allowed by law.

During the first quarter of 2013, PMBC organized a new wholly-owned subsidiary, PM Asset Resolution, Inc. ("PMAR"), for the purpose of purchasing certain non-performing loans and other real estate from the Bank and thereafter collecting or disposing of those assets. During the fourth quarter of 2013, the Bank announced the closure of our mortgage banking business, which is scheduled to occur in the first half of 2014. The Bank operated a direct-to-consumer retail mortgage banking business, originating and funding residential mortgage loans and selling those loans, generally within the succeeding 30 days. Our mortgage banking operations are classified as discontinued operations within the consolidated financial statements and footnotes for all presented periods.

PMBC, the Bank and PMAR are sometimes referred to, together, on a consolidated basis, in this report as the “Company” or as “we”, “us” or “our”.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

Except as discussed below, our accounting policies are described in Note 2 Significant Accounting Policies, of our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013, included in our Form 10-K.

Interim Consolidated Financial Statements Basis of Presentation

Our interim consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with the instructions of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to Form 10-Q and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in effect in the United States (“GAAP”), on a basis consistent with prior periods. Our financial statements reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. The interim results are not necessarily indicative of operating results for the full year. The interim information should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements in our Form 10-K.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make certain estimates and assumptions that could affect the reported amounts of certain of our assets, liabilities, and contingencies at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of our revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. For the fiscal periods covered by this Report, those estimates related primarily to our determinations of the allowance for loan and lease losses, other real estate owned, the fair values of securities available for sale and mortgage loans held for sale, repurchase reserves on mortgage loans held for sale, and the determination of reserves pertaining to deferred tax assets. If circumstances or financial trends on which those estimates were based were to change in the future or there were to occur any currently unanticipated events affecting the amounts of those estimates, our future financial position or results of operations could differ, possibly materially, from those expected at the current time.

Principles of Consolidation

Our consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2014 include the accounts of PMBC, the Bank and PMAR. Our consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2013 include the accounts of PMBC and the Bank. All significant intercompany balances and transactions were eliminated in consolidation.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2013-11, “Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists,” which amended its guidance on income taxes to eliminate diversity in the financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. The amendments clarify whether unrecognized tax benefits should be presented as a liability on the balance sheet or as a reduction of a deferred tax asset. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2013. Early adoption is permitted. We adopted this guidance on January 1, 2014, and it did not have any impact on our financial statement presentation.

In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08, “Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity,” which amended its guidance on classification and reporting of discontinued operations. The amendments clarify when an entity should classify a component as discontinued operations, how to report the balances related to discontinued operations for prior periods, and additional disclosure requirements for discontinued operations. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014. Early adoption is permitted only for disposals which have not been previously reported. We will adopt this guidance on January 1, 2015 and do not expect it to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

3. Fair Value Measurements

Under FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820-10, we group assets and liabilities at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. These levels are:

Level 1	Valuation is based upon quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.
Level 2	Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.
Level 3	Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use at least one significant assumption not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include use of option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques.

Risks with Fair Value Measurements

Fair value estimates are made at a discrete point in time based on relevant market information and other information about the financial instruments. Because no active market exists for a significant portion of our financial instruments, fair value estimates are based in large part on judgments we make primarily regarding current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments, prepayment rates, and future expected loss experience. These estimates are subjective in nature and invariably involve some inherent uncertainties. Additionally, the occurrence of unexpected events or changes in circumstances can occur that could require us to make changes to our assumptions and which, in turn, could significantly affect and require us to make changes to our previous estimates of fair value.

In addition, the fair value estimates are based on existing on and off-balance sheet financial instruments without attempting to estimate the value of existing and anticipated future customer relationships and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments, such as premises and equipment and other real estate owned (“OREO”).

Measurement Methodology

Cash and Cash Equivalents. The fair value of cash and cash equivalents approximates its carrying value.

Interest-Bearing Deposits with Financial Institutions. The fair values of interest-bearing deposits maturing within ninety days approximate their carrying values.

FHLB and FRBSF Stock. The Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco (“FHLB”) and the FRBSF. As members, we are required to own stock of the FHLB and the FRBSF, the amount of which is based primarily on the level of our borrowings from those institutions. We also have the right to acquire additional shares of stock in either or both of the FHLB and the FRBSF; however, to date, we have not done so. The fair values of the FHLB and FRBSF stock are equal to their respective carrying amounts, are classified as restricted securities and are periodically evaluated for impairment based on our assessment of the ultimate recoverability of our investments in that stock. Any cash or stock dividends paid to us on such stock are reported as income.

9

Investment Securities Available for Sale.Fair value measurement is based upon quoted prices, if available. If quoted prices are not available, fair values are measured using independent pricing models or other model-based valuation techniques such as the present value of future cash flows, adjusted for the security’s credit rating, prepayment assumptions and other factors such as credit loss assumptions. Level 1 investments securities include those traded on an active exchange, such as the New York Stock Exchange, U.S. Treasury securities that are traded by dealers or brokers in active over-the- counter markets and money market funds. Level 2 investment securities include mortgage-backed securities issued by government sponsored entities, municipal bonds and corporate debt securities. Securities classified as Level 3 include asset-backed securities in less liquid markets.

Impaired Loans. Loans measured for impairment are measured at an observable market price (if available), or the fair value of the loan’s collateral (if the loan is collateral dependent). The fair value of an impaired loan may be estimated using one of several methods, including collateral value, market value of similar debt, enterprise value, liquidation value and discounted cash flows. Those impaired loans not requiring an allowance for loan and lease losses represent loans for which the fair value of the expected repayments or collateral exceeds the recorded investments in such loans. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value, we record the impaired loan at Level 2. When an appraised value is not available or we determine that the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value and there is no observable market price, we record the impaired loan at Level 3.

Loans. The fair value for loans with variable interest rates less a credit discount is the carrying amount. The fair value of fixed rate loans is derived by calculating the discounted value of future cash flows expected to be received by the various homogeneous categories of loans. All loans have been adjusted to reflect changes in credit risk. Changes are not recorded directly as an adjustment to current earnings or comprehensive income, but rather as an adjustment component in determining the overall adequacy of the loan loss reserve.

Other Real Estate Owned. OREO is adjusted to fair value, less estimated costs to sell, at the time the loans are transferred to other real estate owned. Subsequently, OREO is carried at the lower of carrying value or fair value less estimated costs to sell. Fair value is determined based upon independent market prices, appraised values of the collateral or management’s estimation of the value of the collateral. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value, we record the foreclosed asset at Level 2. When an appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value and there is no observable market price, we record the foreclosed asset at Level 3.

Mortgage Servicing Rights.Fair value measurement is based upon quoted prices, if available. If quoted prices are not available, fair values are measured using independent pricing models or other model-based valuation techniques that would incorporate assumptions that market participants would use in estimating the fair value of servicing. These assumptions might include estimates of prepayment speeds, discount rate, costs to service, escrow account earnings, contractual servicing fee income, prepayment and late fees, among other considerations. Mortgage servicing rights are considered a Level 2 measurement at March 31, 2014 and a Level 3 measurement at December 31, 2013 and are included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The reason for the transfer from Level 3 to Level 2 during the three months ended March 31, 2014 relates to the sale of the mortgage servicing rights in April 2014 and our ability to determine fair value using the definitive agreements we entered into with respect to such sales. Refer to Note 13, Subsequent Events below for further detail regarding the sales.

Derivative Assets and Liabilities. Our derivative assets and liabilities are carried at fair value as required by GAAP and are accounted for as free standing derivatives at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. The derivative assets are interest rate lock commitments (“IRLCs”) with prospective residential mortgage borrowers whereby the interest rate on the loan is determined prior to funding and the borrowers have locked in that interest rate. These commitments are determined to be derivative instruments in accordance with GAAP. The derivative liabilities are hedging instruments (typically to-be-announced (“TBA”) securities) used to hedge the risk of fair value changes associated with changes in interest rates relating to its mortgage loan origination operations. We hedge the period from the interest rate lock (assuming a fall-out factor) to the date of the loan sale. The estimated fair value is based on current market prices for similar assets plus a fall-out factor estimated by management and, accordingly, we have classified our IRLCs as Level 3 assets at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 and such assets are included in Assets of discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated statement of financial condition. The valuation technique used for TBA's is based on pricing of the hedging instruments which are used to hedge the fair value changes associated with changes in interest rates relating to our mortgage lending operations. We hedge the period from the interest rate lock (assuming a fall-out factor) to the date of the loan sale. The fair value of the hedging instruments is based on the actively quoted TBA Mortgage Backed Securities ("MBS") market using observable inputs related to the characteristics of the underlying MBS stratified by product, coupon and settlement date. TBA's are classified as Level 2 liabilities as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. Our net derivatives are included within Assets of discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of financial condition as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

10

Deposits. Deposits are carried at historical cost. The carrying amounts of deposits from savings and money market accounts are deemed to approximate fair value as they either have no stated maturities or short-term maturities. Certificates of deposit is estimated utilizing discounted cash flow techniques. The interest rates applied are rates currently being offered for similar certificates of deposit.

Borrowings. The fair value of borrowings is the carrying amount for those borrowings that mature on a daily basis. The fair value of term borrowings is derived by calculating the discounted value of future cash flows expected to be paid out by the Company.

Junior Subordinated Debentures. The fair value of the junior subordinated debentures is based on quoted market prices of the underlying securities. These securities are variable rate in nature and reprice quarterly.

Commitments to Extend Credit and Standby Letters of Credit. The fair value of commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties’ credit standing.

Interest Receivable and Interest Payable. The carrying amounts of our accrued interest receivable and accrued interest payable are deemed to approximate fair value.

At March 31, 2014, U.S. agency mortgage backed securities and U.S. Treasury securities with an aggregate fair market value of $10.4 million were pledged to secure repurchase agreements, local agency deposits and treasury, tax and loan accounts. At December 31, 2013, U.S. agency mortgage backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations with an aggregate fair market value of $9.5 million were pledged to secure FHLB borrowings, repurchase agreements, local agency deposits and treasury, tax and loan accounts.

The amortized cost and estimated fair values of securities available for sale at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 are shown in the tables below by contractual maturities taking into consideration historical prepayments based on the prior twelve months of principal payments. Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities and historical prepayments, particularly with respect to collateralized mortgage obligations, primarily because prepayment rates are affected by changes in conditions in the interest rate market and, therefore, future prepayment rates may differ from historical prepayment rates.

We regularly monitor investments for significant declines in fair value. We have determined that declines in the fair values of these investments below their respective amortized costs, as set forth in the tables above, are temporary because (i) those declines were due to interest rate changes and not to a deterioration in the creditworthiness of the issuers of those investment securities, and (ii) we have the ability to hold those securities until there is a recovery in their values or until their maturity.

We recognize other-than-temporary impairments (“OTTI”) to our available-for-sale debt securities in accordance with FASB ASC 320-10. When there are credit losses associated with, but we have no intention to sell, an impaired debt security, and it is more likely than not that we will not have to sell the security before recovery of its cost basis, we will separate the amount of impairment, or OTTI, between the amount that is credit related and the amount that is related to non-credit factors. Credit-related impairments are recognized in our consolidated statements of operations. Any non-credit-related impairments are recognized and reflected in other comprehensive income (loss).

Through the impairment assessment process, we determined that the available-for-sale securities discussed below were other-than-temporarily impaired at March 31, 2014. We recorded no impairment credit losses on available-for-sale securities in our consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. The OTTI related to factors other than credit losses, in the aggregate amount of $0.5 million, and was recognized as other comprehensive loss in our accompanying consolidated statement of financial condition.

The table below presents, for the three months ended March 31, 2014, a roll-forward of OTTI in those instances when a portion of the OTTI was attributable to non-credit related factors and, therefore, was recognized in other comprehensive loss:

(Dollars in thousands)	Gross Other- Than- Temporary Impairments			Other-Than- Temporary Impairments Included in Other Comprehensive Loss			Net Other-Than- Temporary Impairments Included in Retained  Earnings (Deficit)
Balance – December 31, 2013	$	(1,459	)	$	(906	)	$	(553	)
Change in market value on a security for which an OTTI was previously recognized	424			424			—
Balance – March 31, 2014	$	(1,035	)	$	(482	)	$	(553	)

In determining the component of OTTI related to credit losses, we compare the amortized cost basis of each OTTI security to the present value of its expected cash flows, discounted using the effective interest rate implicit in the security at the date of acquisition.

As a part of our OTTI assessment process with respect to securities held for sale with unrealized losses, we consider available information about (i) the performance of the collateral underlying each such security, including any credit enhancements, (ii) historical prepayment speeds, (iii) delinquency and default rates, (iv) loss severities, (v) the age or “vintage” of the security, and, (vi) any rating agency reports on the security. Significant judgments are required with respect to these and other factors in order to make a determination of the future cash flows that can be expected to be generated by the security.

Based on our OTTI assessment process, we determined that there is one asset-backed security in our portfolio of securities held for sale that was impaired as of March 31, 2014. This security is a multi-class, cash flow collateralized bond obligation backed by a pool of trust preferred securities issued by a diversified pool of 56 issuers that consisted of 45 U.S. depository institutions and 11 insurance companies at the time of the security’s issuance in November 2007. We purchased $3.0 million face amount of this security in November 2007 at a price of 95.21% for a total purchase price of $2.9 million, out of a total of $363 million of this security sold at the time of issuance. The security that we own (CUSIP 74042CAE8) is the mezzanine class B piece security with a variable interest rate of 3 month LIBOR plus 60 basis points, which had a rating of Aa2 and AA by Moody’s and Fitch, respectively, at the time of issuance in 2007.

As of March 31, 2014, the amortized cost of this security was $2.1 million with a fair value of $1.6 million, for an unrealized loss of approximately $0.5 million. As of March 31, 2014, the security had a Ca rating from Moody’s and a CCC rating from Fitch and had experienced $42.5 million in defaults (12.5% of total current collateral) and $26.5 million in deferring securities (7.8% of total current collateral) from issuance to March 31, 2014. We estimate that the security could experience another $90.5 million in defaults before the issuer would not receive all of the contractual cash flows under this security. This analysis is based on the following assumptions: future default rates of 3.3%, prepayment rates of 1% until maturity, and 15% recovery of future defaults.

We have made a determination that the remainder of our securities with respect to which there were unrealized losses as of March 31, 2014 are not other-than-temporarily impaired, because we have concluded that we have the ability to continue to

15

hold those securities until their respective fair market values increase above their respective amortized costs or, if necessary, until their respective maturities. In reaching that conclusion we considered a number of factors and other information, which included: (i) the significance of each such security, (ii) the amount of the unrealized losses attributable to each such security, (iii) our liquidity position, (iv) the impact that retention of those securities could have on our capital position and (v) our evaluation of the expected future performance of these securities (based on the criteria discussed above).

Other Investments

Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2013, we had one investment in a limited partnership which is accounted for under the equity method of accounting and included within other assets of the consolidated statements of financial condition. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, our other investment was as follows:

At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, real estate loans of approximately $223 million and $230 million, respectively, were pledged to secure borrowings obtained from the FHLB.

Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses (“ALLL”)

The ALLL represents our estimate of credit losses in our loan and lease portfolio that are probable and estimable at the balance sheet date. We employ economic models that are based on bank regulatory guidelines, industry standards and our own historical loan loss experience, as well as a number of more subjective qualitative factors, to determine both the sufficiency of the ALLL and the amount of the provisions that are required to be made for potential loan losses to increase or replenish the ALLL.

The ALLL is first determined by (i) analyzing all classified loans (graded as “Substandard” or “Doubtful” under our internal credit quality grading parameters) on non-accrual status for loss exposure and (ii) establishing specific reserves as needed. ASC 310-10 defines loan impairment as the existence of uncertainty concerning collection of all principal and interest in accordance with the contractual terms of a loan. For collateral dependent loans, impairment is typically measured by comparing the loan amount to the fair value of collateral, less estimated costs to sell, with any "shortfall" amount charged off. Other methods can be used in estimating impairment, including market price and the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s original interest rate. We are an active lender with the U.S. Small Business Administration and many of the loans originated have a guaranteed percentage of the balances.  The ALLL reserves are calculated against the non-guaranteed loan balances. 

On a quarterly basis, we utilize a classification migration model and individual loan review analytical tools as starting points for determining the adequacy of the ALLL for homogenous pools of loans that are not subject to specific reserve allocations. Our loss migration analysis tracks a certain number of quarters of loan loss history and industry loss factors to determine historical losses by classification category for each loan type, except certain consumer loans. We then apply these calculated loss factors,

16

together with qualitative factors based on external economic conditions and trends and internal assessments, to the outstanding loan balances in each homogenous group of loans, and then, using our internal credit quality grading parameters, we grade the loans as “Pass,” “Special Mention,” “Substandard” or “Doubtful”. We also conduct individual loan review analysis, as part of the ALLL allocation process, applying specific monitoring policies and procedures in analyzing the existing loan portfolio. This grading is based on the credit classifications of assets as prescribed by government regulations and industry standards and is separated into the following groups:

• Pass: Loans classified as pass include current loans performing in accordance with contractual terms, installment/consumer loans that are not individually risk rated, and loans which exhibit certain risk factors that require greater than usual monitoring by management.

• Special mention: Loans classified as special mention, while generally not delinquent, have potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or in the Bank’s credit position at some future date.

• Substandard: Loans classified as substandard have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. There is a distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

• Doubtful: Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in a substandard loan, and may also be at delinquency status and have defined weaknesses based on currently existing facts, conditions and values making collection or liquidation in full highly questionable and improbable.

Set forth below is a summary of the activity in the ALLL during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and year ended December 31, 2013:

Generally, the accrual of interest on a loan is discontinued when principal or interest payments become more than 90 days past due, unless we believe that the loan is adequately collateralized and it is in the process of collection. There were no loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest at March 31, 2014 or December 31, 2013. In certain instances, when a loan is placed on non-accrual status, previously accrued but unpaid interest is reversed against current income. Subsequent collections of cash are applied as principal reductions when received, except when the ultimate collectability of principal is probable, in which case such payments are applied to accrued and unpaid interest, which is credited to income. Non-accrual loans may be restored to accrual status when principal and interest become current and full repayment becomes expected.

The following table provides information with respect to loans on nonaccrual status, by portfolio type, as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013:

Impaired Loans

A loan generally is classified as impaired and placed on nonaccrual status when, in our opinion, principal or interest is not likely to be collected in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement. We measure for impairments on a loan-by-loan basis, using either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.

The following table sets forth information regarding impaired loans, at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013:

(1) When the discounted cash flows, collateral value or market price equals or exceeds the recorded investment in the loan, then specific reserves are not required to be set aside for the loan within the ALLL. This typically occurs when the impaired loans have been partially charged-off and/or there have been interest payments received and applied to the balance of the principal outstanding.

At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 there were $18.9 million and $24.2 million, respectively, of impaired loans for which no specific reserves had been allocated because these loans, in our judgment, were sufficiently collateralized. Of the

21

impaired loans at March 31, 2014 for which no specific reserves were allocated, $17.9 million had been deemed impaired in the prior year.

We had average investments in impaired loans of $23.8 million, $25.9 million and $38.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2014, December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2013, respectively. The interest that would have been earned had the impaired loans remained current in accordance with their original terms was $0.1 million, $0.5 million and $0.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2014, December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2013, respectively.

Troubled Debt Restructurings (“TDRs”)

Pursuant to the FASB's ASU No. 2011-2, A Creditor's Determination of whether a Restructuring is a Troubled Debt Restructuring , the Bank's TDRs totaled $15.4 million and $18.6 million at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. TDRs consist of loans to which modifications have been made for the purpose of alleviating temporary impairments of the borrowers' financial condition and cash flows. Those modifications have come in the forms of changes in amortization terms, reductions in interest rates, interest only payments and, in limited cases, concessions to outstanding loan balances. The modifications are made as part of workout plans we enter into with the borrower that are designed to provide a bridge for the borrowers' cash flow shortfalls in the near term. If a borrower works through the near term issues, then in most cases, the original contractual terms of the borrowers' loan will be reinstated.

Of the $15.4 million of TDRs outstanding at March 31, 2014, $12.1 million were performing in accordance with their terms and accruing interest; and $3.3 million were not. Our impairment analysis determined no specific reserves were required on the TDR balances outstanding at March 31, 2014.

The following table presents loans restructured as TDRs during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013:

	Three Months Ended
	March 31, 2014			March 31, 2013

Total Troubled Debt Restructurings	—	—	—	2	1,052	1,052

As of March 31, 2014, TDRs totaled $15.4 million as compared to $18.6 million at December 31, 2013. The decrease in TDRs was primarily the result of foreclosure and transfer to OREO of a commercial loan for$1.8 million and $1.0 million in principal payments.

During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, we had no TDRs that were modified within the preceding 12-month period which subsequently defaulted.

6. Income Taxes

For the three months ended March 31, 2014, we recorded no income tax provision and we recorded an income tax benefit of $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The tax benefit during the three months ended March 31, 2013 was primarily related to the release of the remainder of a valuation allowance, which we had established against our deferred tax asset by means of non-cash charges to the provision for income taxes prior to 2013. Net operating losses in 2013 created a net operating loss (“NOL”) credit for future use against taxable income against which we recorded a valuation allowance. As a result of taxable income generated and the utilization of the NOL credit during the three months ended March 31, 2014, we had no income tax provision and our net deferred tax asset at March 31, 2014 was $7.1 million, net of a valuation allowance of $11.7 million. This is a decrease of $0.4 million from the December 31, 2013 balance of $7.6 million, net of a valuation allowance of $12.5 million.

We file income tax returns with the U.S. federal government and the state of California. As of March 31, 2014, we were subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service with respect to our U.S. federal tax returns for the 2010 to 2013 tax years and Franchise Tax Board for California state income tax returns for the 2009 to 2013 tax years. NOLs on our U.S.

22

federal and California state income tax returns may be carried forward twenty years. We do not believe there will be any material adverse changes in our unrecognized tax benefits over the next 12 months.

Our policy is to recognize interest and penalties accrued on any unrecognized tax benefits as a component of tax expense. We did not have any accrued interest or penalties associated with any unrecognized tax benefits, and no interest expense was recognized during the quarter ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.

7. Stock-Based Employee Compensation Plans

In May 2010, our shareholders approved the adoption of our 2010 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2010 Incentive Plan”), which authorized and set aside a total of 400,000 shares of our common stock for issuance on the exercise of stock options or the grant of restricted stock or other equity incentives to our officers, and other key employees and directors. An additional 158,211 shares of common stock were also set aside which was equal to the total of the shares that were available for the grant of equity incentives under our shareholder-approved 2008 and 2004 Equity Incentive Plans (the "Previously Approved Plans") at the time of the adoption of the 2010 Incentive Plan. Options to purchase a total of 964,804 shares of our common stock granted under the Previously Approved Plans were outstanding at March 31, 2014. The 2010 Incentive Plan provides that if any of the these outstanding options under the Previously Approved Plans expire or are terminated for any reason, then the number of shares that would become available for grants or awards of equity incentives under the 2010 Incentive Plan would be increased by an equivalent number of shares. At the Annual Shareholders meeting held in May 2013, our shareholders approved an additional 800,000 share increase in the maximum number of shares of our common stock that may be issued pursuant to grants or exercises of options or restricted shares or other equity incentives under the 2010 Incentive Plan. As a result, as of March 31, 2014, the maximum number of shares that were authorized for the grant of options or other equity incentives under the 2010 Incentive Plan totaled 2,323,015, or approximately 12% of the shares of our common stock then outstanding.

A stock option entitles the recipient to purchase shares of our common stock at a price per share that may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the Company’s shares on the date the option is granted. Restricted shares may be granted at such purchase prices and on such other terms, including restrictions and Company repurchase or reacquisition rights, as are fixed by the Compensation Committee at the time rights to purchase such restricted shares are granted. Stock Appreciation Rights ("SARs") entitle the recipient to receive a cash payment in an amount equal to the difference between the fair market value of the Company’s shares on the date of vesting and a “base price” (which, in most cases, will be equal to fair market value of the Company’s shares on the date the SAR is granted), subject to the right of the Company to make such payment in shares of its common stock at their then fair market value. Options, restricted shares and SARs may vest immediately or in installments over various periods generally ranging up to five years, subject to the recipient’s continued employment or service or the achievement of specified performance goals, as determined by the Compensation Committee at the time it grants or awards the options, the restricted shares or the SARs. Stock options and SARs may be granted for terms of up to 10 years after the date of grant, but will terminate sooner upon or shortly after a termination of service occurring prior to the expiration of the term of the option or SAR. The Company will become entitled to repurchase any unvested restricted shares, at the same price that was paid for the shares by the recipient, or to cancel those shares in the event of a termination of employment or service of the holder of such shares or if any performance goals specified in the award are not satisfied. To date, the Company has not granted any SARs.

Under FASB ASC 718-10, we are required to recognize, in our financial statements, the fair value of the options or any restricted shares that we grant as compensation cost over their respective service periods. The fair values of the options that were outstanding at March 31, 2014 under the 2010 Incentive Plan were estimated as of their respective dates of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Company under the 2010 Incentive Plan granted restricted stock for the benefit of its employees. These restricted shares vest over a period of three years. The recipients of restricted shares have the right to vote all shares subject to such grant and receive all dividends with respect to such shares whether or not the shares have vested. The recipients do not pay any cash consideration for the shares.

The table below summarizes the weighted average assumptions used to determine the fair values of the options granted during the following periods:

Options to purchase 65,000 and 6,100 shares of our common stock were exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The aggregate intrinsic value of options exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was $174 thousand and $2 thousand, respectively. The fair values of options that vested during each of the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was $0.1 million, respectively.

The following table provides additional information regarding the vested and unvested options that were outstanding at March 31, 2014.

We issued 18,608 shares of restricted stock under the 2010 Incentive Plan during the three months ended March 31, 2014, at a price of $6.18 that vest on an annual prorated basis over the next three years. The following table summarizes the activity related to restricted stock granted, vested and forfeited under our equity incentive plans during the three months ended March 31, 2014.

8. Earnings Per Share (“EPS”)

Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income or loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock options or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock that would then share in our earnings.

25

The following table shows how we computed basic and diluted EPS for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.

Net income (loss) from discontinued operations	$	0.06		$	(0.05	)
Net (loss) income available to common shareholders	$	0.01		$	(0.21	)

The shares that have an antidilutive effect in the calculation of diluted net loss per share and have been excluded from the computations above were as follows:

	For the Three Months Ended March 31,
	2014	2013
Stock options(1)	1,562,792	1,515,765
Shares subject to stock purchase warrants(2)	761,278	761,278

(1) Stock options were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per common share for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013 as we reported a net loss from continuing operations.

(2) Stock purchase warrants were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per common share for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 because the exercisability of those warrants is conditioned on the happening of certain future events.

10. Commitments and Contingencies

Repurchase Reserves

We maintain reserves for possible repurchases that we may be required to make of certain of the mortgage loans which we sell as a result of deficiencies or defects that may be found to exist in such loans. The Company’s repurchase reserve also covers returns of any premiums earned and administrative fees pertaining to the repurchase of mortgage loans that did not meet investor guidelines, including potential loss of advances on Veterans Affairs or Federal Housing Authority Ginnie Mae loans. We repurchased $1.3 million of loans during the three months ended March 31, 2014 by adjusting the gains on sale recorded for these loans. No loans were repurchased during the three months ended March 31, 2013. We review the repurchase reserves throughout the year for adequacy. The following table sets forth information, at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, with respect to such reserves:

	March 31, 2014		December 31, 2013
Beginning balance	$	1,883	$	906
Provision for repurchases	17		1,041
Settlements	—		(64		)
Total repurchases reserve	$	1,900	$	1,883

Commitments

To meet the financing needs of our customers in the normal course of business, we are a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated financial statements. At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we were committed to fund certain loans including letters of credit amounting to approximately $139 million and $138 million, respectively. The contractual amounts of a credit-related financial instrument, such as a commitment to extend credit, a credit-card arrangement or a letter of credit, represents the amount of potential accounting loss should the commitment be fully drawn upon, the customer were to default, and the value of

27

any existing collateral securing the customer’s payment obligation becomes worthless. The loss reserve for unfunded loan commitments was $225,000 at both March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

As a result, we use the same credit policies in making commitments to extend credit and conditional obligations as we do for on-balance sheet instruments. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates; however, since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. We evaluate each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis, using the same credit underwriting standards that are employed in making commercial loans. The amount of collateral obtained, if any, upon an extension of credit is based on our evaluation of the creditworthiness of the customer. Collateral held varies, but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, residential real estate and income-producing commercial properties.

Litigation, Claims and Assessments

We are a defendant in or a party to a number of legal actions or proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. In some of these actions and proceedings, claims for monetary damages are asserted against us.

In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, we assess the likelihood of any loss or exposure with respect to lawsuits and other proceedings that are pending against us. We establish an accrued liability for lawsuits or other legal proceedings when they present loss contingencies that are both probable and estimable. Where a loss is not probable but it is reasonably possible or where a loss in excess of an amount accrued is reasonably possible, we disclose an estimate of the amount of the loss or range of possible losses for the claim if a reasonable estimate can be made, unless the amount of reasonably possible losses with respect to the matter is not material to our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. We estimate any potential loss based upon currently available information and significant judgments and a variety of assumptions, and known and unknown uncertainties. Moreover, the facts and circumstances on which such estimates are based will change over time. Therefore, the amount of any losses we might incur in any lawsuits or other legal proceedings may exceed amounts which we had accrued based on our estimates and those estimates do not represent the maximum loss exposure that we may have in connection with any lawsuits or other legal proceedings.

Based on our evaluation of the lawsuits and other proceedings that were pending against us as of March 31, 2014, the outcomes in those suits or other proceedings are not expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, in light of the inherent uncertainties involved, some of which are beyond our control, and the very large or indeterminate damages often sought in such legal actions or proceedings, an adverse outcome in one or more of these suits or proceedings could be material to our results of operations or cash flows for any particular reporting period.

11. Discontinued Operations

During the fourth quarter of 2013, the Bank announced the closure of our mortgage banking business, which is scheduled to occur in the first half of 2014. Accordingly, all income and expense related to the mortgage banking business have been removed from continuing operations and are included in the consolidated statements of operations under the caption "Income (loss) from discontinued operations."

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2014		2013
	(Dollars in thousands)
Revenues(1)	$	1,767	$	1,920
Pre-tax income (loss)	$	1,184	$	(1,185	)

(1) Net interest income plus noninterest income.

We established a reserve of $3.1 million in December 2013 for our estimated cost of discontinuing the mortgage banking business, which is included in our loss from discontinued operations in our statement of operations. This reserve primarily included severance and fees related to contract and lease terminations. Assets related to discontinued operations primarily consist of mortgage loans held for sale (see below), mortgage servicing rights (see below), fixed assets, and our derivative financial instruments (see Fair Value Measurements footnote above for more information regarding our derivatives). As of March 31, 2014, $1.8 million of the reserve remained outstanding.

Mortgage Servicing Rights

We sometimes retain mortgage servicing rights on mortgage loans that we sell. Such rights represent the net positive cash flows generated from the servicing of such mortgage loans and we recognize such rights as assets on our statements of financial condition based on their estimated fair values. We receive servicing fees, less any subservicing costs, on the unpaid principal balances of such mortgage loans. Those fees are collected from the monthly payments made by the mortgagors or from the proceeds of the sale or foreclosure and liquidation of the underlying real property collateralizing the loans. We also generally receive various mortgagor-contracted fees, such as late charges, collateral reconveyance charges and nonsufficient fund fees. In addition, we generally are entitled to retain interest earned on funds held pending remittance (or float) related to the collection of principal, interest, taxes and insurance payments on the mortgage loans which we service. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, mortgage servicing rights totaled $5.6 million and $4.4 million, respectively, and are included in assets of discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated statements of financial condition. See Note 13, Subsequent Event for additional information.

The Bank accounts for mortgage servicing rights at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in income from discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations. The table below presents the activity for mortgage servicing rights for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.

12. Business Segment Information

We have one reportable business segment, commercial banking. The commercial banking segment provides small and medium-size businesses, professional firms and individuals with a diversified range of products and services such as various types of deposit accounts, various types of commercial and consumer loans, cash management services, and online banking services. Discontinued operations is comprised of our mortgage banking business which is in the business of originating mortgage loans that, for the most part, are resold within 30 days to long-term investors in the secondary residential mortgage market.

Since our operating segment derives all of its revenues from interest and noninterest income and interest expense constitutes its most significant expense, this segment, as well as our discontinued operations, are reported below using net interest income (interest income less interest expense) and noninterest income (primarily net gains on sales of loans held for sale and fee income). We do not allocate general and administrative expenses or income taxes to our operating segment.

The following table sets forth information regarding the net interest income and noninterest income for our commercial banking and discontinued operations segments, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.

13. Subsequent Event

On April 1, 2014, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell the mortgage servicing rights on loans with a total unpaid principal balance of $2.1 million as of March 31, 2014 to Castle Mortgage Corporation ("Castle") for 12.5 basis points, or approximately $2.7 thousand. On April 21, 2014, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell the remainder of our mortgage servicing rights on loans with a total unpaid principal balance at March 31, 2014 of $504.5 million to Freedom Mortgage Corporation ("Freedom") for 113 basis points, or approximately $5.6 million. At March 31, 2014 we recorded the fair value of the mortgage servicing rights based upon these contractual sales amounts resulting in an increase in the fair value of these assets by $1.2 million, which is included in income from discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations. The transactions with Freedom and Castle closed on April 30, 2014 with the initial settlement payment based upon total unpaid principal balance as of April 24, 2014 of $468.6 million and $2.1 million, respectively. The final purchase price will be based upon unpaid principal balances as of April 30, 2014.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Forward Looking Statements

Statements contained in this Report that are not historical facts or that discuss our expectations, beliefs or views regarding our future operations or future financial performance, or financial or other trends in our business or in the markets in which we operate, constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). Forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Often, they include words such as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “estimate,” “project,” "forecast," or words of similar meaning, or future or conditional verbs such as “will,” “would,” “should,” “could,” or “may.” The information contained in such forward-looking statements is based on current information available to us and on assumptions that we make about future economic and market conditions and other events over which we do not have control. In addition, our business and the markets in which we operate are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. Such risks and uncertainties, and the occurrence of events in the future or changes in circumstances that had not been anticipated, could cause our financial condition or actual operating results in the future to differ materially from our expected financial condition or operating results that are set forth in the forward-looking statements contained in this Report and could, therefore, also affect the price performance of our shares.

In addition to the risk of incurring loan losses, which is an inherent risk of the banking business, these risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the following: the risk that the economic recovery in the United States, which is still relatively fragile, will be adversely affected by domestic or international economic conditions, which could cause us to incur additional loan losses and adversely affect our results of operations in the future; uncertainties and risks with respect to the effects that our compliance with the written agreement (the “FRBSF Agreement”) with the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco (the “FRBSF”) will have on our business and results of operations because, among other things, the FRBSF Agreement imposes restrictions on our operations and our ability to grow our banking franchise, and the risk of potential future supervisory action against us or the Bank (as defined below) by the FRBSF if we are unable to meet the requirements of the FRBSF Agreement; the risk that our results of operations in the future will continue to be adversely affected by our exit from the wholesale and residential mortgage lending businesses and the risk that our commercial banking business will not generate the additional revenues needed to fully offset the decline in our mortgage banking revenues within the next two to three years; the risk that our interest margins and, therefore, our net interest income will be adversely affected by changes in prevailing interest rates; the risk that we will not succeed in further reducing our remaining nonperforming assets, in which event we would face the prospect of further loan charge-offs and write-downs of assets; the risk that we will not be able to manage our interest rate risks effectively, in which event our operating results could be harmed; the prospect that government regulation of banking and other financial services organizations will increase, causing our costs of doing business to increase and restricting our ability to take advantage of business and growth opportunities. Additional information regarding these and other risks and uncertainties to which our business is subject is contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 (the “2013 Form 10-K”) that we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 14, 2014, and readers of this report are urged to review the additional information contained in that report, and in any subsequent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that we file with the SEC. We urge you to read those risk factors in conjunction with your review of the following discussion and analysis of our results of operations for the three months ended, and our financial condition at, March 31, 2014.

Due to the risks and uncertainties we face, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements contained in this Report, which speak only as of the date of this Report, or to make predictions about future performance based solely on historical financial performance. We also disclaim any obligation to update forward-looking statements contained in this Report as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may otherwise be required by law.

Overview

The following discussion presents information about our consolidated results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and capital resources and should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in Item 1 above of this Quarterly Report.

Our principal operating subsidiary is Pacific Mercantile Bank (the “Bank”), which is a California state chartered bank. The Bank accounts for substantially all of our consolidated revenues, expenses and income and our consolidated assets and liabilities. Accordingly, the following discussion focuses primarily on the Bank’s results of operations and financial condition.

As of March 31, 2014, our total assets, net loans and total deposits were $1.1 billion, $766 million and $849 million, respectively.

31

The Bank, which is headquartered in Orange County, California, approximately 40 miles south of Los Angeles, conducts a commercial banking business in Orange, Los Angeles, San Bernardino and San Diego counties in Southern California. The Bank is also a member of the Federal Reserve System and its deposits are insured, to the maximum extent permitted by law, by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”). For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 we operated as one reportable segment, Commercial Banking, and one non-reportable segment, Discontinued Operations.

Unless the context otherwise requires, the “Company,” “we,” “our,” “ours,” and “us” refer to Pacific Mercantile Bancorp and its consolidated subsidiaries.

Current Developments

The Company has made substantial progress in efforts to wind down the residential mortgage division. During the first quarter of 2014 all of the loan applications that were in process at the time of the announcement to discontinue residential mortgage lending were funded, closed by the applicant, or denied. At March 31, 2014, the Bank only had 10 remaining employees in the mortgage division, down from 77 employees at December 31, 2013. In April 2014, the Bank also finalized arrangements to sell its portfolio of mortgage servicing rights in two separate transactions, which closed on April 30, 2014 and are described in more detail above in Item 1 of this Report under Note 13, Subsequent Event.

The Company has also furthered its efforts in laying the foundation for a full-fledged Asset Based Lending ("ABL") Group that was begun in 2013. The ABL Group will originate loans primarily secured by business receivables. In the first quarter of 2014, the ABL Group developed a pipeline of potential commercial banking relationships that will include an ABL credit facility along with products and services to meet the customers' depository needs. The Bank expects to commence with some of these relationships and to fund the ABL facilities during the second quarter of 2014.

The Company continued to expand its offerings through the Small Business Administration ("SBA") Programs and during the quarter funded $12.2 million in loans through the 7(a) Program and sold $9.2 million of the guaranteed portion of those loans, which resulted in a $686 thousand gain during the quarter ended March 31, 2014. The Company plans to continue its efforts to originate and sell SBA 7(a) loans.

Results of Operations

Discontinued Operations

During the fourth quarter of 2013, the Bank announced its decision to exit the mortgage banking business and is expected to complete the wind down of the mortgage banking business during the first half of 2014. In connection with our exit from the mortgage banking business, the revenues and expenses of our mortgage banking division have been classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented. As a result, all comparisons below reflect the continuing results of our operations. Income from discontinued operations was $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014, while loss from discontinued operations was $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. At March 31, 2014 we recorded the fair value of the mortgage servicing rights based upon these contractual sales amounts contained in the definitive agreements to sell such rights, resulting in an increase in the fair value of these assets by $1.2 million, which is included in income from discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations. This compares to a loss from the mortgage banking operations prior to the decision to discontinue the mortgage banking business. For additional information, see Note 11, Discontinued Operations, included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.

Operating Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2014 and 2013

Our operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to March 31, 2013, were as follows:

32

	Three Months Ended March 31,				2014 vs. 2013 % Change
	2014		2013
	(Dollars in thousands)
Interest income	9,287		8,752		6.1	%

Provision for loan and lease losses	450		1,150		(60.9	)%
Non-interest income	1,294		346		274.0	%
Non-interest expense	9,421		10,273		(8.3	)%
Income tax provision (benefit)	—		(1,559	)	(100.0	)%

Net income (loss) from discontinued operations	1,184		(815	)	(245.3	)%
Net income (loss)	155		(3,465	)	(104.5	)%

Interest Income

Total interest income increased 6.1% to $9.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 from $8.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, with an average yield on interest-earning assets of 3.86% for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to 3.68% for the three months ended March 31, 2013. This increase was primarily due to an increase in interest income on loans during the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the same prior year period. During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, interest income on loans was $8.8 million and $8.3 million, respectively, yielding 4.58% and 4.66% on average loan balances of $779.2 million and $721.0 million, respectively. The increase in the average loan balances is attributable to an increase in loan demand. The decrease in loan yield is primarily attributable to the actions of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (“Federal Reserve Board”) to keep short-term interest rates low.

During each of the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, interest income from our securities available-for-sale and stock, was $0.4 million, yielding 2.29% and 1.65% on average balances of $73.7 million and $91.0 million, respectively. The average securities balances decreased as a result of sales and maturities of, and payments on, securities which we did not fully replace due to liquidity needs. The investment yield increase is primarily due to lower premium amortization attributable to slower projected prepayment speeds on our securities available-for-sale, returning our prepayment speed to normal as compared to the accelerated prepayment speed seen in the prior year. Interest income from our short-term investments, including our federal funds sold and interest-bearing deposits, was $0.1 million for each of the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, yielding 0.26% and 0.25% on average balances of $122.3 million and $153.4 million, respectively. The average balances of short-term investments decreased as a result of a reduction in our funds held at the FRBSF. As a result, total interest income on investments remained flat for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.

Interest Expense

Total interest expense decreased 9.1% to $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 from $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in average interest-bearing liabilities of $709.4 million and $748.5 million at March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, yielding a cost of funds of 0.82% and 0.86%, respectively, which consisted of deposits, borrowings and junior subordinated debentures. Interest expense on our certificates of deposit for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, was $1.0 million and $1.1 million, respectively, yielding 0.98% and 0.97% on average balances of $425.6 million and $478.8 million, respectively. The decrease in the average balances is primarily the result of a decision we made to reduce the rates of interest we paid on higher priced time deposits in 2013, thereby reducing interest expense. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we increased the rates of interest we pay on our higher priced time deposits in order to decrease our loan-to-deposit ratio and increase our liquidity, which partially offset the decrease in the volume of time deposits. The decrease in interest expense is also attributable to the declines in the interest rates we paid on money market and savings deposits as a result of the actions of the Federal Reserve Board to keep short-term interest rates low.

Net Interest Margin

One of the principal determinants of a bank’s income is its net interest income, which is the difference between (i) the interest that a bank earns on loans, investment securities and other interest earning assets, on the one hand, and (ii) its interest expense, which consists primarily of the interest it must pay to attract and retain deposits and the interest that it pays on borrowings and other interest-bearing liabilities, on the other hand. As a general rule, all other things being equal, the greater the difference or "spread" between the amount of our interest income and the amount of our interest expense, the greater will be our net income; whereas, a decline in that difference or "spread" will generally result in a decline in our net income.

A bank’s interest income and interest expense are affected by a number of factors, some of which are outside of its control, including national and local economic conditions and the monetary policies of the Federal Reserve Board which affect interest rates, competition in the market place for loans and deposits, the demand for loans and the ability of borrowers to meet their loan

33

payment obligations. Net interest income, when expressed as a percentage of total average interest earning assets, is a banking organization’s “net interest margin.”

The following tables set forth information regarding our average balance sheet, yields on interest earning assets, interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities, the interest rate spread and the interest rate margin for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. Average balances are calculated based on average daily balances.

Provision for Loan and Lease Losses

We maintain reserves to provide for loan losses that occur in the ordinary course of the banking business. When it is determined that the payment in full of a loan has become unlikely, the carrying value of the loan is reduced ("written down") to what management believes is its realizable value or, if it is determined that a loan no longer has any realizable value, the carrying value of the loan is written off in its entirety (a loan "charge-off"). Loan charge-offs and write-downs are charged against our allowance for loan and lease losses (“ALLL”). The amount of the ALLL is increased periodically to replenish the ALLL after it has been reduced due to loan write-downs or charge-offs. The ALLL also is increased or decreased periodically to reflect increases or decreases in the volume of outstanding loans and to take account of changes in the risk of potential loan losses due to a deterioration or improvement in the condition of borrowers or in the value of properties securing non-performing loans or adverse changes or improvements in economic conditions. Increases in the ALLL are made through a charge, recorded as an expense in the statement of operations, referred to as the "provision for loan and lease losses." Recoveries of loans previously charged-off are added back to and, therefore, to that extent increase the ALLL and reduce the amount of the provision for loan and lease losses that might otherwise have had to be made to replenish or increase the ALLL.

We employ economic models that are based on bank regulatory guidelines, industry standards and our own historical loan loss experience, as well as a number of more subjective qualitative factors, to determine both the sufficiency of the ALLL and the amount of the provisions that we believe need to be made for potential loan losses. However, those determinations involve judgments and assumptions about trends in current economic conditions and other events that can affect the ability of borrowers to meet their loan obligations to us and a weighting among the quantitative and qualitative factors we consider in determining the amount of the ALLL. Moreover, the duration and anticipated effects of prevailing economic conditions or trends can be uncertain and can be affected by a number of risks and circumstances that are outside of our ability to control. If changes in economic or market conditions or unexpected subsequent events or changes in circumstances were to occur, or if changes were made to bank regulatory guidelines or industry standards that are used to assess the sufficiency of the ALLL, it could become necessary for us to record additional, and possibly significant, charges to increase the ALLL, which would have the effect of reducing our income or causing us to incur losses.

In addition, the FRBSF and the California Department of Business Oversight (“CDBO”), as an integral part of their examination processes, periodically review the adequacy of our ALLL. These agencies may require us to make additional provisions for possible loan losses, over and above the provisions that we have already made, the effect of which would be to reduce our income or increase any losses we might incur.

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we recorded a provision for loan and lease losses of $0.5 million, as compared to $1.2 million recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2013. The $0.7 million decrease in the provision for

35

loan and lease losses is primarily the result of net recoveries of $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 versus net charge-offs of $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

See "—Financial Condition—Nonperforming Loans and the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses" below in this Item 2 for additional information regarding the ALLL.

Noninterest Income

The following table identifies the components of and the percentage changes in noninterest income in the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	Amount		Amount		Percentage Change
	2014		2013		2014 vs. 2013
	(Dollars in thousands)
Service fees on deposits and other banking services	208		196		6.1	%
Net gains on sale of securities available for sale	—		23		(100.0	)%
Net gain on sale of small business administration loans	686		—		100.0	%
Other	400		127		215.0	%
Total noninterest income	$	1,294	$	346	274.0	%

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, noninterest income increased by $0.9 million, or 274.0%, to $1.3 million from $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. That increase was primarily due to an increase in the net gain on sale of commercial small business administration loans of $0.7 million.

Noninterest Expense

The following table sets forth the principal components and the amounts of, and the percentage changes in, noninterest expense in the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2014		2013			2014 vs. 2013
	Amount		Amount			Percent Change

Other operating expenses (1)	630		719			(12.4	)%
Total noninterest expense	$	9,421	$	10,273		(8.3	)%

(1) Other operating expenses primarily consist of telephone, investor relations, promotional, regulatory expenses, and correspondent bank fees.

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, noninterest expense decreased by $0.9 million, or 8.3%, to $9.4 million from $10.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, primarily as a result of:

• A decrease of $1.3 million in other real estate owned (“OREO”) expenses related to the reduction of older OREO that incurred more expenses to maintain and resolve in the first quarter of 2013, partially offset by newer OREO taken in collection of debts that have not incurred the same level of expense to maintain and resolve during the first quarter of 2014;

36

• A decrease of $0.8 million in professional fees due to the settlement of certain lawsuits and a decline in nonperforming loans; and

• An increase of $1.2 million in salaries and employee benefits related to the hiring of a new CEO and other key employees in 2013, increases in health care insurance costs, and increases in workers' compensation premiums.

Provision for (Benefit from ) Income Tax

For the three months ended March 31, 2014, we recorded no income tax provision and we recorded an income tax benefit of $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The tax benefit during the three months ended March 31, 2013 was primarily related to the release of the remainder of a valuation allowance, which we had established against our deferred tax asset by means of non-cash charges to the provision for income taxes prior to 2013. Significant net operating losses throughout 2013 required us to reestablish the valuation allowance we had previously reversed and created a net operating loss (“NOL”) credit for future use against taxable income. As a result of taxable income generated and the utilization of the NOL credit during the three months ended March 31, 2014, we had no income tax provision.

Financial Condition

Assets

Our total assets increased by $59 million to $1.1 billion at March 31, 2014 from $1.0 billion at December 31, 2013. The following table sets forth the composition of our interest earning assets at:

Investment Portfolio

Securities Available for Sale. Securities that we intend to hold for an indefinite period of time, but which may be sold in response to changes in liquidity needs, in interest rates, or in prepayment risks or other similar factors, are classified as “securities available for sale”. Such securities are recorded on our balance sheet at their respective fair values and increases or decreases in those values are recorded as unrealized gains or losses, respectively, and are reported as other comprehensive income (loss) on our accompanying consolidated balance sheets, rather than included in or deducted from our earnings.

The following is a summary of the major components of securities available for sale and a comparison of the amortized cost, estimated fair values and the gross unrealized gains and losses attributable to those securities, as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013:

The amortized cost of securities available for sale at March 31, 2014 is shown in the table below by contractual maturities taking into consideration historical prepayments based on the prior twelve months of principal payments. Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities and historical prepayments, particularly with respect to collateralized mortgage obligations, primarily because prepayment rates are affected by changes in conditions in the interest rate market and, therefore, future prepayment rates may differ from historical prepayment rates.

Commercial loans are loans to businesses to finance capital purchases or improvements, or to provide cash flow for operations. Real estate and residential mortgage loans are loans secured by trust deeds on real properties, including commercial properties and single family and multi-family residences. Construction loans are interim loans to finance specific construction projects. Consumer loans include installment loans to consumers.

Nonperforming Assets and Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses

Nonperforming Assets. Non-performing loans consist of (i) loans on non-accrual status which are loans on which the accrual of interest has been discontinued and include restructured loans when there has not been a history of past performance on debt service in accordance with the contractual terms of the restructured loans, and (ii) loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing interest. Non-performing assets are comprised of non-performing loans and OREO, which consists of real properties which we have acquired by or in lieu of foreclosure and which we intend to offer for sale.

Loans are placed on non-accrual status when, in our opinion, the full timely collection of principal or interest is in doubt. Generally, the accrual of interest is discontinued when principal or interest payments become more than 90 days past due, unless we believe the loan is adequately collateralized and the loan is in the process of collection. However, in certain instances, we may place a particular loan on non-accrual status earlier, depending upon the individual circumstances involved in that loan’s delinquency. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, previously accrued but unpaid interest is reversed against current income.

39

Subsequent collections of unpaid amounts on such a loan are applied to reduce principal when received, except when the ultimate collectability of principal is probable, in which case such payments are applied to interest and are credited to income. Non-accrual loans may be restored to accrual status if and when principal and interest become current and full repayment is expected. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis for impaired loans which, based on our non-accrual policy, do not require non-accrual treatment.

The following table sets forth information regarding our nonperforming assets, as well as information regarding restructured loans, at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013:

	At March 31, 2014		At December 31, 2013

Nonaccruing loans (included in nonaccrual loans above)	3,328		5,936
Total restructured loans	$	15,430	$	18,570

As the above table indicates, nonaccrual loans decreased by approximately $3.5 million, or 30.3%, to $8.0 million at March 31, 2014, from $11.5 million at December 31, 2013, primarily due to (i) the foreclosure on a$1.8 millioncommercial loan, comprised of commercial real estate, and its resulting transfer to OREO, (ii) principal payments totaling$3.3 million, and (iii) offset by $2.3 million of loans added to nonaccrual status. We have allocated specific reserves within the ALLL to provide for losses we estimate we may incur on nonaccrual loans, and we have established specific reserves on OREO.

Information Regarding Impaired Loans. At March 31, 2014, loans deemed impaired totaled $20.1 million as compared to $24.2 million at December 31, 2013. We had an average investment in impaired loans of $23.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to $25.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. The interest that would have been earned during the three months ended March 31, 2014 had the nonaccruing impaired loans remained current in accordance with their original terms was approximately $70 thousand.

The following table sets forth the amount of impaired loans to which a portion of the ALLL has been specifically allocated, and the aggregate amount so allocated, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 310-10, and the amount of the ALLL and the amount of impaired loans for which no such allocations were made, in each case at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013:

Total impaired loans	$	20,138	$	666	3.3	%	$	24,160	$	—	—	%

The $4.0 milliondecrease in impaired loans to $20.1 million at March 31, 2014 from $24.2 million at December 31, 2013 was primarily attributable to the foreclosure and transfer to OREO of $1.8 million of nonaccrual loans, and $3.6 million of principal reduction due to note sales and principal payments, partially offset by $2.3 million of loans added to nonaccrual status. Accruing restructured loans were comprised of a number of loans performing in accordance with modified terms, which included lowering of interest rates, deferral of payments, or modifications to payment terms. Based on an internal analysis, using the current estimated fair values of the collateral or the discounted present values of the future estimated cash flows of the impaired loans, we concluded that, at March 31, 2014, $0.7 million of specific reserves were required on two impaired loans and that all remaining impaired loans were well secured and adequately collateralized with no specific reserves required.

Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses. The ALLL totaled $11.9 million, representing 1.53% of loans outstanding, at March 31, 2014, as compared to $11.4 million, or 1.46% of loans outstanding at December 31, 2013.

The adequacy of the ALLL is determined through periodic evaluations of the loan portfolio and other factors that can reasonably be expected to affect the ability of borrowers to meet their loan obligations. Those factors are inherently subjective as the process for determining the adequacy of the ALLL involves some significant estimates and assumptions about such matters such as (i) economic conditions and trends and the amounts and timing of expected future cash flows of borrowers which can affect their ability to meet their loan obligations to us, (ii) the fair value of the collateral securing non-performing loans, (iii) estimates of losses that we may incur on non-performing loans, which are determined on the basis of historical loss experience and industry loss factors and bank regulatory guidelines, which are subject to change, and (iv) various qualitative factors. Since those factors are subject to changes in economic and other conditions and changes in regulatory guidelines or other circumstances over which we have no control, the amount of the ALLL may prove to be insufficient to cover all of the loan losses we might incur in the future. In such an event, it may become necessary for us to increase the ALLL from time to time to maintain its adequacy. Such increases are effectuated by means of a charge to income, referred to as the “provision for loan and lease losses”, in our statements of our operations. See “—Results of Operations— Provision for Loan and Lease Losses, above in this Item 2.

The amount of the ALLL is first determined by assigning reserve ratios for all loans. All non-accrual loans and other loans classified as “Special Mention,” “Substandard” or “Doubtful” (“classified loans” or “classification categories”) and not fully collateralized are then assigned specific reserves within the ALLL, with greater reserve allocations made to loans deemed to be of a higher risk. These ratios are determined based on prior loss history and industry guidelines and loss factors, by type of loan, adjusted for current economic factors and current economic trends. Refer to Note 5, Loans and Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses for definitions related to our credit quality indicators stated above.

On a quarterly basis, we utilize a classification migration model and individual loan review analytical tools as starting points for determining the adequacy of the ALLL. Our loss migration analysis tracks a certain number of quarters of loan loss history and industry loss factors to determine historical losses by classification category for each loan type, except certain loans (automobile, mortgage and credit cards), which are analyzed as homogeneous loan pools. These calculated loss factors are then applied to outstanding loan balances. We also conduct individual loan review analysis, as part of the ALLL allocation process, applying specific monitoring policies and procedures in analyzing the existing loan portfolio.

In determining whether and the extent to which we will make adjustments to our loan loss migration model for purposes of determining the ALLL, we also consider a number of qualitative factors that can affect the performance and the collectability of the loans in our loan portfolio. Such qualitative factors include:

• The effects of changes that we may make in our loan policies or underwriting standards on the quality of the loans and the risks in our loan portfolios;

41

• Trends and changes in local, regional and national economic conditions, as well as changes in industry specific conditions, and any other reasonably foreseeable events that could affect the performance or the collectability of the loans in our loan portfolios;

• Material changes that may occur in the mix or in the volume of the loans in our loan portfolios that could alter, whether positively or negatively, the risk profile of those portfolios;

• Changes in management or loan personnel or other circumstances that could, either positively or negatively, impact the application of our loan underwriting standards, the monitoring of nonperforming loans or our loan collection efforts;

• Changes in the concentration of risk in the loan portfolio; and

• External factors that, in addition to economic conditions, can affect the ability of borrowers to meet their loan obligations, such as fires, earthquakes and terrorist attacks.

Determining the effects that these qualitative factors may have on the performance of each category of loans in our loan portfolio requires numerous judgments, assumptions and estimates about conditions, trends and events which may subsequently prove to have been incorrect due to circumstances outside of our control. Moreover, the effects of qualitative factors such as these on the performance of our loan portfolios are often difficult to quantify. As a result, we may sustain loan losses in any particular period that are sizable in relation to the ALLL or that may even exceed the ALLL.

In response to the economic recession, which resulted in increased and relatively persistent high rates of unemployment, and the credit crisis that has led to a severe tightening in the availability of credit, preventing borrowers from refinancing their loans, we (i) implemented more stringent loan underwriting standards, (ii) strengthened loan underwriting and approval processes, and (iii) added personnel with experience in addressing problem assets.

Set forth below is information regarding loan balances and the related ALLL, by portfolio type, for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 (excluding mortgage loans held for sale).

(Dollars in thousands)	Commercial			Real  Estate			Land Development			Consumer and Single Family Mortgages			Total

The ALLL increased$0.6 million from December 31, 2013 to March 31, 2014 as a result of higher reserve factors over the quarterly loss migration cycle. The modest increase in reserves reflects an allocation of $0.7 million in specific reserves on total impaired loans of $20.1 million at March 31, 2014 from $24.2 million at December 31, 2013. The decrease in the provision for loan and lease losses from December 31, 2013 to March 31, 2014 was primarily the result of net recoveries of $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to net charge-offs of $4.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2013.

We classify our loan portfolios using internal credit quality ratings. The credit quality table in Note 5, Loans and Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses above in Item 1, provides a summary of loans by portfolio type and our internal credit quality ratings as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. Loans totaled approximately $778.6 million at March 31, 2014, an increase of $1.8 million from $776.8 million at December 31, 2013. The disaggregation of the loan portfolio by risk rating in the credit quality table located in Note 5 reflects the following changes that occurred between March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013:

42

• Loans rated "Pass" totaled $731.1 million, an increase of $5.4 million from $725.7 million at December 31, 2013. The increase was primarily attributable to new loan growth in commercial loans of $2.8 million and commercial real estate loans – all other of $4.7 million partially offset by the downgrade to "Substandard" of $2.9 million in commercial and commercial real estate loans – all other.

• Loans rated "Special Mention" totaled $49 thousand, a decrease of $5.2 million from $5.2 million at December 31, 2013. The decrease was primarily the result of the downgrade to "Substandard" of a $5.2 million residential mortgage loan – multi family relationship in current status.

• Loans rated "Substandard" totaled $47.5 million, an increase of $1.6 million from $45.9 million at December 31, 2013. This increase was primarily the result of approximately $8.0 million in loans downgraded to "Substandard", partially offset by $1.0 million of note sales, the foreclosure and transfer to OREO of a $1.8 million commercial loan and principal payments of $3.4 million.

We use a rolling twelve quarter loss migration analysis to determine the loss factors we will apply to each of the above-described loan classification categories. We previously used an eight quarter loss migration analysis through December 2013.  The economic cycle has improved based on delinquency balances to the drop in impaired loan balances over the past few years.  Management decided an eight quarter loss migration cycle may overweight the benefits of an improving economic cycle and revisited the general reserve factors as part of its normal review of the ALLL, resulting in an increased look-back period. As a result, for purposes of determining applicable loss factors at March 31, 2014, our migration analysis covered the period from March 31, 2011 to March 31, 2014. That migration analysis resulted in modest increases to the loss factors of our March 31, 2014 ALLL analysis, which we believe was consistent with and reasonably reflects current economic conditions and the risks that were inherent in our loan portfolio at March 31, 2014.

The table below sets forth loan delinquencies, by quarter, from March 31, 2014 to March 31, 2013.

(1) Past due balances include nonaccrual loans.

As the above table indicates, total past due loans decreased by $1.6 million, to $3.9 million at March 31, 2014 from $5.5 million at December 31, 2013. Loans past due 90 days or more decreased by $1.9 million, to $2.4 million at March 31, 2014, from $4.3 million at December 31, 2013, primarily due to the foreclosure and transfer of a $1.8 million commercial loan to OREO during the three months ended March 31, 2014.

Loans 30-89 days past due increased by $0.4 million to $1.6 million at March 31, 2014 from $1.2 million at December 31, 2013, primarily due to the addition of $1.6 million in primarily commercial loans, including a matured loan of $1.0 million which subsequently renewed terms after the quarter ended and returned to current status, partially offset by two loans totaling $1.2 million at December 31, 2013 returning to current status.

Asset/Liability Management

The primary objective of asset/liability management is to reduce our exposure to interest rate fluctuations, which can affect our net interest margins and, therefore, our net interest income and net earnings. We seek to achieve this objective by matching interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities, and maintaining the maturities of and repricing these assets and liabilities in response to the changes in the interest rate environment. Generally, if rate sensitive assets exceed rate sensitive liabilities, net

44

interest income will be positively impacted during a rising interest rate environment and negatively impacted during a declining interest rate environment. When rate sensitive liabilities exceed rate sensitive assets, net interest income generally will be positively impacted during a declining interest rate environment and negatively impacted during a rising interest rate environment. However, interest rates for different asset and liability products offered by depository institutions respond differently to changes in the interest rate environment. As a result, the relationship or "gap" between interest sensitive assets and interest sensitive liabilities is only a general indicator of interest rate sensitivity and how our net interest income might be affected by changing rates of interest.

For example, rates on certain assets or liabilities typically lag behind changes in market rates of interest. Additionally, prepayments of loans and securities available-for-sale, and early withdrawals of certificates of deposit can cause the interest sensitivities to vary.

The table below sets forth information concerning our rate sensitive assets and liabilities at March 31, 2014. The assets and liabilities are classified by the earlier maturity or repricing dates in accordance with their contractual terms. As described above, certain shortcomings are inherent in the method of analysis presented in this table.

At March 31, 2014, our rate sensitive balance sheet was shown to be in a negative twelve-month gap position. This would imply that our net interest margin would decrease in the short-term if interest rates were to rise and would increase in the short-term if interest rates were to fall. However, as noted above, the extent to which our net interest margin will be impacted by changes in prevailing interest rates will depend on a number of factors, including how quickly rate sensitive assets and liabilities react to interest rate changes, the mix of our interest-earning assets (loans versus other lower yielding interest-earning assets, such as securities or federal funds sold) and the mix of our interest-bearing deposits (between, for example, lower interest core deposits and higher cost time certificates of deposit) and our other interest-bearing liabilities.

Liquidity

We actively manage our liquidity needs to ensure that sufficient funds are available to meet our needs for cash, including to fund new loans to and deposit withdrawals by our customers. We project the future sources and uses of funds and maintain liquid funds for unanticipated events. Our primary sources of cash include cash we have on deposit at other financial institutions, payments from borrowers on their loans, proceeds from sales or maturities of securities held for sale, sales of residential mortgage loans, increases in deposits and increases in borrowings principally from the FHLB. The primary uses of cash include funding new loans and making advances on existing lines of credit, purchasing investments, including securities available for sale, funding new residential mortgage loans, funding deposit withdrawals and paying operating expenses. We maintain funds in overnight federal funds and other short-term investments to provide for short-term liquidity needs. We also have obtained credit lines from the FHLB and other financial institutions to meet any additional liquidity requirements we might have. See "—Contractual Obligations—Borrowings" below for additional information related to our borrowings from the FHLB.

Our liquid assets, which included cash and due from banks, federal funds sold, interest earning deposits that we maintain with financial institutions and unpledged securities available for sale (excluding FRBSF and FHLB stock) totaled $208.9 million, which represented 20% of total assets, at March 31, 2014. We believe that our cash and cash equivalent resources, together with available borrowings under our credit facilities, will be sufficient to meet normal operating requirements for at least the next twelve months, including to enable us to meet any increase in deposit withdrawals that might occur in the foreseeable future.

Cash Flow Provided by (Used in) Operating Activities. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, operating activities provided net cash of $1.8 million, comprised primarily of $1.0 million provided by our discontinued operations and our net income of $0.5 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, operating activities provided net cash of $23.5 million, comprised primarily of $28.5 million provided by our discontinued operations, partially offset by our net loss of $3.2 million.

Cash Flow (Used in) Provided by Investing Activities. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, investing activities used net cash of $3.3 million, primarily attributable to $6.7 million used to fund an increase in loans, partially offset by $2.4 million of cash from maturities of and principal payments on securities available for sale and $1.1 million of proceeds from sales of OREO. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, investing activities provided net cash of $30.5 million, primarily comprised of $6.2 million from sales of securities available for sale, $5.3 million of cash from maturities and principal payments on securities available for sale, a $6.1 million decrease in commercial loans held for sale, and $13.1 million provided by loan paydowns.

Cash Flow Used in Financing Activities. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, financing activities provided net cash of $59.6 million, consisting primarily of a $76.1 million net increase in interest bearing deposits, which resulted primarily from a decision to increase the rates of interest we pay on our higher priced time deposits in order to decrease our loan-to-deposit ratio and increase our liquidity, partially offset by a $9.4 million decrease in borrowings, and an increase in noninterest bearing deposits of $7.2 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, financing activities used net cash of $24.8 million, consisting primarily of $29.8 million net decrease in deposits as a result of a decision to decrease the rates paid on higher priced time deposits in order to decrease our cost of funds, and a $10.0 million decrease in borrowings, partially offset by net proceeds of $15.0 million from a private placement of shares of our common stock in March 2013.

Ratio of Loans to Deposits. The relationship between gross loans and total deposits can provide a useful measure of a bank’s liquidity. Since repayment of loans tends to be less predictable than the maturity of investments and other liquid resources, the higher the loan-to-deposit ratio the less liquid are our assets. On the other hand, since we realize greater yields on loans than we do on investments, a lower loan-to-deposit ratio can adversely affect interest income and earnings. As a result, our goal is to achieve a loan-to-deposit ratio that appropriately balances the requirements of liquidity and the need to generate a fair return on our assets. At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the loan-to-deposit ratio was 92% and 100%, respectively.

Capital Resources

Regulatory Capital Requirements Applicable to Banking Institutions

Under federal banking regulations that apply to all United States based bank holding companies and federally insured banks, the Company (on a consolidated basis) and the Bank (on a stand-alone basis) must meet specific capital adequacy requirements that, for the most part, involve quantitative measures, primarily in terms of the ratios of their capital to their assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items, calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Under those regulations, each bank holding company must meet a minimum capital ratio and each federally insured bank is determined by its primary federal bank regulatory agency to come within one of the following capital adequacy categories on the basis of its capital ratios:

• well capitalized

• adequately capitalized

• undercapitalized

• significantly undercapitalized; or

46

• critically undercapitalized

Certain qualitative assessments also are made by a banking institution’s primary federal regulatory agency that could lead the agency to determine that the banking institution should be assigned to a lower capital category than the one indicated by the quantitative measures used to assess the institution’s capital adequacy. At each successive lower capital category, a banking institution is subject to greater operating restrictions and increased regulatory supervision by its federal bank regulatory agency.

The following table sets forth the capital and capital ratios of the Company (on a consolidated basis) and the Bank (on a stand-alone basis) at March 31, 2014, as compared to the respective regulatory requirements applicable to them.

At March 31, 2014 the Bank (on a stand-alone basis) continued to qualify as a well-capitalized institution, and the Company continued to exceed the minimum required capital ratios applicable to it, under the capital adequacy guidelines described above.

The consolidated total capital and Tier 1 capital of the Company at March 31, 2014 includes an aggregate of $17.0 million principal amount of the $17.5 million of junior subordinated debentures that we issued in 2002 and 2004. We contributed the net proceeds from the sales of the junior subordinated debentures to the Bank over the nine year period ended March 31, 2014, thereby providing it with additional cash to fund the growth of its banking operations and, at the same time, to increase its total capital and Tier 1 capital.

Capital and Other Requirements under FRBSF Agreement and CDBO Order

On August 31, 2010, the Company and the Bank entered into the FRBSF Agreement with FRBSF. On the same date, the Bank consented to the issuance of a regulatory order by the CDBO (the “CDBO Order”).

On October 31, 2013, the CDBO terminated the CDBO Order after concluding that the Bank had substantially complied with its terms.

The principal purposes of the FRBSF Agreement, which constitutes formal supervisory action by the FRBSF, were to require us to adopt and implement formal plans and take certain actions, as well as to continue to implement other measures that we previously adopted, to address the adverse consequences that the economic recession has had on the performance of our loan portfolio and our operating results, to improve our operating results, and to increase our capital to strengthen our ability to weather any further adverse economic conditions that might arise in the future.

The FRBSF Agreement requires the Boards of Directors of the Company and the Bank to prepare and submit written plans to the FRBSF to address the following matters: (i) strengthening board oversight of the management operations of the Bank; (ii) strengthening credit risk management practices; (iii) improving credit administration policies and procedures; (iv) improving the Bank’s position with respect to problem assets; (v) maintaining adequate reserves for loan losses in accordance with applicable supervisory guidelines; (vi) improving the capital position of the Bank and of the Company; (vii) improving the Bank’s earnings through the formulation, adoption and implementation of a new strategic plan, and (viii) submitting a satisfactory funding contingency plan for the Bank that would identify available sources of liquidity and a plan for dealing with adverse economic and market conditions. The Company may not declare or pay cash dividends, repurchase any of its shares, make payments on its trust preferred securities or incur or guarantee any debt, without the prior approval of the FRBSF. As a result of these prohibitions, the Company has not made interest payments on the junior subordinated debentures issued in 2002 and 2004 as discussed in Note 9, Borrowings and Contractual Obligations in the notes to our consolidated financial statements.

47

The Company and the Bank have made substantial progress with respect to several of these requirements, including a requirement, achieved in August 2011, that the Bank raise additional capital to increase its ratio of adjusted tangible shareholders’ equity-to-tangible assets to9.00%. The Company is committed to achieving all of the requirements on a timely basis. Formal termination of the FRBSF Agreement requires an express determination by the FRBSF to the effect that substantial compliance with all of the provisions have been achieved. A failure by the Company or the Bank to meet any of those remaining requirements could be deemed by the FRBSF to be conducting business in an unsafe manner which could subject the Company or the Bank to further regulatory enforcement action. See “Risks and uncertainties posed by the FRBSF Agreement to which we and the Bank are subject” under Item 1A “Risk Factors” in Part I of our 2013 Form 10-K.

Dividend Policy and Share Repurchase Programs.

It is, and since the beginning of 2009 it has been, the policy of the Boards of Directors of the Company and the Bank to preserve cash to enhance our capital positions and the Bank's liquidity. Moreover, since mid-2009, bank regulatory restrictions, including those under the FRBSF Agreement, have precluded the Company and the Bank from paying cash dividends, and we have been precluded from repurchasing our shares, without the prior approval of the FRBSF. Accordingly, we do not expect to pay dividends or make share repurchases for the foreseeable future.

The principal source of cash available to a bank holding company consists of cash dividends from its bank subsidiaries. There are currently several restrictions on the Bank’s ability to pay us cash dividends in addition to the FRBSF Agreement discussed above. Government regulations, including the laws of the State of California, as they pertain to the payment of cash dividends by California state chartered banks, also limit the amount of funds that the Bank is permitted to dividend to us. Further, Section 23(a) of the Federal Reserve Act limits the amounts that a bank may loan to its bank holding company to an aggregate of no more than 10% of the bank subsidiary’s capital surplus and retained earnings and requires that such loans be secured by specified assets of the bank holding company. See Note 15, Shareholders’ Equity in the notes to our consolidated financial statements in Part II of our 2013 Form 10-K for more detail regarding the restrictions on dividends and inter-company transactions. While restrictions on the payment of dividends from the Bank to us exist, there are no restrictions on the dividends that may be paid to us by PM Asset Resolution, Inc. (“PMAR”), a wholly owned subsidiary we organized during the first quarter of 2013 for the purpose of purchasing certain non-performing loans and other real estate from the Bank and thereafter collecting or disposing of those assets. PMAR has approximately $16.3 million in assets which are in the process of being liquidated and could provide us with additional cash if required. In addition, we currently have sufficient cash on hand to meet our cash obligations. As a result, we do not expect that these restrictions will impact our ability to meet our cash obligations.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

Loan Commitments and Standby Letters of Credit. To meet the financing needs of our customers in the normal course of business, we are a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we were committed to fund certain loans including letters of credit amounting to approximately $139 million and $138 million, respectively.

Commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and the customer may be required to pay a fee and meet other conditions in order to draw on those commitments or standby letters of credit. We expect, based on historical experience, that many of the commitments will expire without being drawn upon and, therefore, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.

To varying degrees, commitments to extend credit involve elements of credit and interest rate risk for us that are in excess of the amounts recognized in our balance sheets. Our maximum exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the customers to whom such commitments are made could potentially be equal to the amount of those commitments. As a result, before making such a commitment to a customer, we evaluate the customer’s creditworthiness using the same underwriting standards that we would apply if we were approving loans to the customer. In addition, we often require the customer to secure its payment obligations for amounts drawn on such commitments with collateral such as accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, income-producing commercial properties, residential properties and properties under construction. As a consequence, our exposure to credit and interest rate risk on such commitments is not different in character or amount than risks inherent in the outstanding loans in our loan portfolio.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee a payment obligation of a customer to a third party. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan commitments to customers.

Contractual Obligations

48

Borrowings. As of March 31, 2014, we had $27.5 million of outstanding short-term borrowings and $30.0 million of outstanding long-term borrowings that we had obtained from the FHLB. The table below sets forth the amounts of, the interest rates we pay on and the maturity dates of these FHLB borrowings. These borrowings had a weighted-average annualized interest rate of 0.66% for the year ended March 31, 2014.

Principal Amounts		Interest Rate		Maturity Dates	Principal Amounts		Interest Rate		Maturity Dates
(Dollars in thousands)
$	5,000	0.48	%	April 14, 2014	$	5,000	0.61	%	September 18, 2015

5,000		0.76	%	March 30, 2015
10,000		0.61	%	August 31, 2015

At March 31, 2014, $430 million of residential mortgage and other real estate secured loans were pledged to secure these FHLB borrowings.

The highest amount of borrowings outstanding at any month-end during the three months ended March 31, 2014 was $70 million, which consisted of borrowings from the FHLB. By comparison, the highest amount of borrowings outstanding at any month end in 2013 consisted of $85 million of borrowings from the FHLB.

At March 31, 2014, we had additional borrowings of $3.1 million related to a note payable which we acquired through the foreclosure of one of our commercial loans secured by a commercial real estate property subject to a first lien note.

Junior Subordinated Debentures. Pursuant to rulings of the Federal Reserve Board, bank holding companies were permitted to issue long term subordinated debt instruments that, subject to certain conditions, would qualify as and, therefore, augment capital for regulatory purposes. At March 31, 2014, we had outstanding approximately $17.5 million principal amount of 30-year junior subordinated floating rate debentures (the “Debentures”), of which $17.0 million qualified as Tier 1 capital for regulatory purposes as of March 31, 2014.

Set forth below is certain information regarding the Debentures:

Original Issue Dates	Principal Amount		Interest Rates	Maturity Dates
September 2002	$	7,217	LIBOR plus 3.40%	September 2032
October 2004	10,310		LIBOR plus 2.00%	October 2034
Total	$	17,527

(1) Subject to the receipt of prior regulatory approval, we may redeem the Debentures, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, at any time prior to maturity.

As previously reported, since July 2009 we have been required to obtain the prior approval of the FRBSF to make interest payments on the Debentures. During the years ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, we were unable to obtain regulatory approvals to pay, and it became necessary for us to defer, quarterly interest payments on the Debentures. We cannot predict when the FRBSF will approve our resumption of such interest payments and until such approval can be obtained it will be necessary for us to continue deferring interest payments on the Debentures. Since we have the right, under the terms of the Debentures, to defer interest payments for up to twenty (20) consecutive quarters, the deferrals of interest payments to date have not constituted, and any future deferrals of interest payments through January 2015 will not constitute, a default under or with respect to the Debentures. However, if by that date we have not been able to obtain regulatory approval to pay all of the deferred interest payments, we would then be in default under the Debentures, in which case the entire $17.5 million principal amount of, and accrued but unpaid interest on, the Debentures could be declared immediately due and payable. For additional information regarding the restrictions on the payment by us of interest on the Debentures, as well as other regulatory restrictions that apply to us and the Bank under a regulatory agreement entered into with the FRBSF, see “Capital Resources” above in this section of this report and “Supervision and Regulation” in Item 1 and “Risk Factors” in Item 1A in Part I of our 2013 Form 10-K.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and general practices in the banking industry. Certain of those accounting policies are considered critical

49

accounting policies, because they require us to make assumptions and judgments regarding circumstances or trends that could affect the carrying value of our material assets, such as, for example, assumptions regarding economic conditions or trends that could impact our ability to fully collect our loans or ultimately realize the carrying value of certain of our other assets, such as securities available for sale and our deferred tax asset. Those assumptions and judgments are based on current information available to us regarding those economic conditions or trends or other circumstances. If adverse changes were to occur in the conditions, trends or other events on which our assumptions or judgments had been based, then under GAAP it could become necessary for us to reduce the carrying values of any affected assets on our balance sheet. In addition, because reductions in the carrying value of assets are sometimes effectuated by or require charges to income, such reductions also may have the effect of reducing our income.

There have been no significant changes during the three months ended March 31, 2014 to the items that we disclosed as our critical accounting policies and estimates in Critical Accounting Policies within Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

As a smaller reporting company as defined in Item 10 of Regulation S-K, we are not required to provide the information required by this item.

ITEM 4.     CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that any system of controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, as ours are designed to do, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

As required by SEC rules, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the effectiveness, as of March 31, 2014, of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2014, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
