SOUND FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statement (unaudited)

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial information is unaudited and has been prepared from the consolidated financial statements of Sound Financial, Inc. (“we,” “us,” “our,” “Sound Financial,” or the “Company”) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Sound Community Bank (the “Bank”).  These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X and do not include all disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for a complete presentation of the Company's financial condition and results of operations.  In the opinion of management, the information reflects all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP.  The results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.  For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes for the year ended December 31, 2010, included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Certain amounts in the prior quarters’ financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.  These classifications do not have an impact on previously reported net income, retained earnings or earnings per share.

Note 2 – Accounting Pronouncements Recently Issued or Adopted

In January 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-01, Deferral of the Effective Date of Disclosures about Troubled Debt Restructurings in Update No. 2010-20.  This ASU temporarily delays the effective date of the disclosures about troubled debt restructurings in Update 2010-20 for public entities. The delay is intended to allow the Board time to complete its deliberations on what constitutes a troubled debt restructuring. The effective date of the new disclosures about troubled debt restructurings for public entities and the guidance for determining what constitutes a troubled debt restructuring will then be coordinated. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2011. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-02, A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring is a Troubled Debt Restructuring . The update provides additional guidance relating to when creditors should classify loan modifications as troubled debt restructurings. The ASU also ends the deferral issued in January 2010 of the disclosures about troubled debt restructurings required by ASU No. 2010-20.  The provisions of ASU No. 2011-02 and the disclosure requirements of ASU No. 2010-20 are effective for the periods beginning on or after June 15, 2011. The guidance applies retrospectively to restructurings occurring on or after January 1, 2011. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-03, Reconsideration of Effective Control for Repurchase Agreements. The update amends existing guidance to remove from the assessment of effective control, the criterion requiring the transferor to have the ability to repurchase or redeem the financial assets on substantially the agreed terms, even in the event of default by the transferee and, as well, the collateral maintenance implementation guidance related to that criterion. ASU No. 2011-03 is effective for the Company’s reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2011. The guidance applies prospectively to transactions or modification of existing transactions that occur on or after the effective date and early adoption is not permitted. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs . The update amends existing guidance regarding the highest and best use and valuation premise by clarifying these concepts are only applicable to measuring the fair value of nonfinancial assets.  The Update also clarifies that the fair value measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities which have offsetting market risks or counterparty credit risks that are managed on a portfolio basis, when several criteria are met, can be measured at the net risk position. Additional disclosures about Level 3 fair value measurements are required including a quantitative disclosure of the unobservable inputs and assumptions used in the measurement, a description of the valuation process in place, and discussion of the sensitivity of fair value changes in unobservable inputs and interrelationships about those inputs as well as disclosure of the level of the fair value of items that are not measured at fair value in the financial statements but disclosure of fair value is required. The provisions of ASU No. 2011-04 are effective for the Company’s reporting period beginning after December 15, 2011 and should be applied prospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this ASU and does not expect it to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income. The update amends current guidance to allow a company the option of presenting the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The provisions do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive must to reclassified to net income. The amendments do not change the option for a company to present components of other comprehensive income either net of related tax effects or before related tax effects, with one amount shown for the aggregate income tax expense (benefit) related to the total of other comprehensive income items. The amendments do not affect how earnings per share is calculated or presented.  The provisions of ASU No. 2011-05 are effective for the Company’s reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011 and should be applied retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted and there are no required transition disclosures.  The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

While management does not intend to sell the non-agency mortgage backed securities, and it is unlikely that the Company will be required to sell these securities before recovery of its amortized cost basis, management’s impairment evaluation indicates that certain securities possess qualitative and quantitative factors that suggest OTTI. These factors include, but are not limited to: the length of time and extent of the fair value declines, ratings agency down grades, the potential for an increased level of actual defaults, and the extension in duration of the securities. In addition to the qualitative factors, management’s evaluation includes an assessment of quantitative evidence that involves the use of cash flow modeling and present value calculations as determined by considering the applicable OTTI accounting guidance. The Company compares the present value of the current estimated cash flows to the present value of the previously estimated cash flows. Accordingly, if the present value of the current estimated cash flows is less than the present value of the previous period’s present value, an adverse change is considered to exist and the security is considered OTTI. The associated “credit loss” is the amount by which the security’s amortized cost exceeds the present value of the current estimated cash flows. Based upon the results of the cash flow modeling as of June 30, 2011, one security reflected OTTI during the six month period. Estimating the expected cash flows and determining the present values of the cash flows involves the use of a variety of assumptions and complex modeling. In developing its assumptions, the Company considers all available information relevant to the collectability of the applicable security, including information about past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Furthermore, the Company asserts that the cash flows used in the determination of OTTI are its “best estimate” of cash flows.

The Company engages a third party to perform the cash flow model. The model includes each individual non-agency mortgage backed securities’ structural features. The modeled cash flows are discounted and they incorporate additional projected defaults based upon risk analysis of the financial condition and performance. Utilizing the quantitative change in the net present value of the cash flows compared to the amortized cost of the security, the Company recognized additional credit losses of $39,000 in non-cash pre-tax impairment charges for the six months ended June 30, 2011. Cumulative at June 30, 2011, the Company has recognized a total of $199,000 of OTTI on three of the five non-agency mortgage backed securities.

Credit Quality Indicators.  Federal regulations provide for the classification of lower quality loans and other assets, such as debt and equity securities, as substandard, doubtful or loss.  An asset is considered substandard if it is inadequately protected by the current net worth and pay capacity of the borrower or of any collateral pledged.  Substandard assets include those characterized by the distinct possibility that we will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.  Assets classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses of currently existing facts, conditions and values.  Assets classified as loss are those considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as assets without establishment of a specific loss reserve is not warranted.  The bank’s unallocated portion of the Allowance for Loan losses decreased during the three and six months periods ended June 30, 2011 as a result of an enhancement in the evaluation of qualitative factors.  Qualitative factors are now assigned by loan category as opposed to at December 31, 2010 when qualitative factors were assigned in an unallocated pool.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 
When we classify problem assets as either substandard or doubtful, we may establish a specific allowance in an amount we deem prudent to address the risk specifically or we may allow the loss to be addressed in the general allowance.  General allowances represent loss allowances which have been established to recognize the inherent risk associated with lending activities, but which, unlike specific allowances, have not been specifically allocated to particular problem assets.  When an insured institution classifies problem assets as a loss, it is required to charge off such assets in the period in which they are deemed uncollectible.  Assets that do not currently expose us to sufficient risk to warrant classification as substandard or doubtful but possess identified weaknesses are required to be classified as either watch or special mention assets.  Our determination of the classification of our assets and the amount of our valuation allowances is subject to review by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”), which can order the establishment of additional loss allowances.
 
Early indicator loan grades are used to identify and track potential problem loans which do not rise to the levels described for substandard, doubtful or loss.  The grades for watch and special mention are assigned to loans which have been criticized based upon known characteristics such as periodic payment delinquency or stale financial information from the borrower and/or guarantors.  Loans identified as criticized (watch and special mention) or classified (substandard, doubtful, or loss) are subject to problem loan reporting not less than quarterly.

Nonaccrual and Past Due Loans.  Loans are considered past due if the required principal and interest payments have not been received as of the date such payments were due.  Loans are automatically placed on nonaccrual once the loan is 90 days past due or if, in management’s opinion, the borrower may be unable to meet payment of obligations as they become due, as well as when required by regulatory provisions.

    Impaired Loans.  A loan is considered impaired when we have determined that we may be unable to collect payments of principal or interest when due under the original terms of the loan.  In the process of identifying loans as impaired, we take into consideration factors which include payment history and status, collateral value, financial condition of the borrower, and the probability of collecting scheduled payments in the future.  Minor payment delays and insignificant payment shortfalls typically do not result in a loan being classified as impaired.  The significance of payment delays and shortfalls is considered on a case by case basis, after taking into consideration the totality of circumstances surrounding the loans and the borrowers, including payment history and amounts of any payment shortfall, length and reason for delay, and likelihood of return to stable performance.  Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis for all loans in the portfolio.

Note 5 – Fair Value Measurements
 

A description of the valuation methodologies used for certain financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value is as follows:

Mortgage Servicing Rights - The fair value of mortgage servicing rights is estimated using a discounted cash flow model based on market information from a third party. These assets are classified as Level 3.

AFS Securities – AFS securities are recorded at fair value based on quoted market prices, if available. If quoted market prices are not available, management utilizes third-party pricing services or broker quotations from dealers in the specific instruments. Level 1 securities include those traded on an active exchange, as well as U.S. government and its agencies securities. Level 2 securities include agency and non-agency mortgage-backed securities and certain collateralized mortgage obligations.

Loans Held for Sale - Residential mortgage loans held for sale are recorded at the lower of cost or fair value. The fair value of fixed-rate residential loans is based on whole loan forward prices obtained from government sponsored enterprises. These loans are classified as Level 2 and are measured on a nonrecurring basis.  At June 30, 2011, loans held for sale were carried at cost.

Impaired Loans - The fair value of collateral dependent loans is based on the current appraised value of the collateral or internally developed models which contain management’s assumptions.  These assets are classified as level 3 and are measured on a nonrecurring basis.

Other Real Estate Owned (“OREO”) and Repossessed Assets - OREO and repossessed assets consist principally of properties acquired through foreclosure and are carried at the lower of cost or estimated market value less selling costs. The fair value is based on current appraised value or other sources of value.

The following table presents the balances of assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2011:

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate fair value of each class of financial instruments listed above:
   
    Cash and cash equivalents, accrued interest receivable and payable, and advance payments from borrowers for taxes and insurance - The estimated fair value is equal to the carrying amount.
 
Available for sale securities – Available for sale securities are recorded at fair value based on quoted market prices, if available. If quoted market prices are not available, management utilizes third-party pricing services or broker quotations from dealers in the specific instruments. Level 1 securities include those traded on an active exchange, as well as U.S. government and its agencies securities. Level 2 securities include private label mortgage-backed securities.

Loans - The estimated fair value for all fixed rate loans is determined by discounting the estimated cash flows using the current rate at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and maturities. The estimated fair value for variable rate loans is the carrying amount. The fair value for all loans also takes into account projected credit losses as a part of the estimate.

Loans Held for Sale - Residential mortgage loans held for sale are recorded at the lower of cost or fair value. The fair value of fixed-rate residential loans is based on whole loan forward prices obtained from government sponsored enterprises. At June 30, 2011, loans held for sale were carried at cost, which approximates fair value.

SOUND FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Mortgage Servicing Rights - The fair value of mortgage servicing rights is estimated using a discounted cash flow model based on market information from a third party. These assets are classified as Level 3.

FHLB stock - The estimated fair value is equal to the par value of the stock, which approximates fair value.

Bank-owned Life Insurance - The estimated fair value is equal to the cash surrender value of policies, net of surrender charges.
 
Deposits - The estimated fair value of deposit accounts (savings, demand deposit, and money market accounts) is the carrying amount. The fair value of fixed-maturity time certificates of deposit are estimated by discounting the estimated cash flows using the current rate at which similar certificates would be issued.
 
Borrowings - The fair value of FHLB advances are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, based on the Company’s current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.
 
Off-balance-sheet financial instruments - The fair value for the Company’s off-balance-sheet loan commitments are estimated based on fees charged to others to enter into similar agreements taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and credit standing of the Company’s customers. The estimated fair value of these commitments is not significant.
 
We assume interest rate risk (the risk that general interest rate levels will change) as a result of our normal operations. As a result, the fair values of our financial instruments will change when interest rate levels change, which may be favorable or unfavorable to us. Management attempts to match maturities of assets and liabilities to the extent necessary or possible to minimize interest rate risk. However, borrowers with fixed-rate obligations are less likely to prepay in a rising rate environment and more likely to prepay in a falling rate environment. Conversely, depositors who are receiving fixed rates are more likely to withdraw funds before maturity in a rising rate environment and less likely to do so in a falling rate environment. Management monitors rates and maturities of assets and liabilities and attempts to minimize interest rate risk by establishing early withdrawal penalties for certificates of deposit, creating interest rate floors for certain variable rate loans, adjusting terms of new loans and deposits, by borrowing at fixed rates for fixed terms and investing in securities with terms that mitigate our overall interest rate risk.

Note 7 – Borrowings
 
The Company utilizes a loan agreement with the FHLB of Seattle. The terms of the agreement call for a blanket pledge of a portion of the Company’s mortgage and commercial real estate portfolio based on the outstanding balance. At June 30, 2011, the amount available to borrow under this agreement is approximately 35% of total assets, or up to $118.1 million, subject to the availability of eligible collateral. The Company had outstanding borrowings under this arrangement of $18.8 million and $24.8 million at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.
 
The Company participates in the Federal Reserve Bank’s Borrower-in-Custody program, which gives the Company access to overnight borrowings from the discount window.  The terms of the program call for a pledge of specific assets.  The Company had unused borrowing capacity under this program of $24.3 million and $24.9 million at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.  There were no outstanding borrowings at June 30, 2011 or December 31, 2010.

The Company has access to an unsecured line of credit from the Pacific Coast Banker’s Bank.  This line of credit is equal to $2.0 million as of June 30, 2011.  The line has a one-year term and is renewable annually.  There was no outstanding balance on this line of credit as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

Note 9 – Stock-based Compensation

Stock Options and Restricted Stock

In 2008, the Board of Directors adopted and shareholders approved an Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).  The Plan permits the grant of restricted stock units, stock options, and stock appreciation rights. Under the Plan, 144,455 shares of common stock were approved for awards for stock options and stock appreciation rights and 57,782 shares of common stock were approved for awards for restricted stock and restricted stock units.
 
On January 27, 2009, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company awarded shares of restricted stock and stock options to directors, executive officers and employees of the Company and the Bank, pursuant to the Plan. The Company granted 25,998 non-qualified stock options and 82,400 incentive stock options to certain directors and employees.  The Company also granted 52,032 shares of restricted stock to certain directors and employees. During the period ended June 30, 2011, share based compensation expense totaled $66,000 for both stock options and restricted stock.  All of the awards vest in 20 percent annual increments commencing one year from the grant date. The options are exercisable for a period of 10 years from the date of grant, subject to vesting. Half of the stock options granted to each of the award recipients were at an exercise price of $7.35, which was the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. The remaining half of the stock options granted to each of the award recipients were at an exercise price of $8.50, which was $1.15 above the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. The vesting date for options and restricted stock is accelerated in the event of the grantee’s death, disability or a change in control of the Company.

There were 43,359 exercisable stock options as of June 30, 2011. The aggregate intrinsic value of the stock options as of June 30, 2011 was $0.

            The aggregate intrinsic value of the nonvested restricted stock awards as of June 30, 2011 was $203,000.

As of June 30, 2011, there was $198,000 of unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested restricted stock awards granted under the Plan remaining.  The cost is expected to be recognized over the weighted-average vesting period of 2.58 years.

In November 2008, the Board of Directors authorized management to repurchase up to 57,782 shares of the Company’s outstanding stock over a twelve-month period in order to fund the restricted stock awards made under the Plan, of which 45,800 shares were repurchased.

Employee Stock Ownership Plan

In January 2008, the ESOP borrowed $1,155,600 from the Company to purchase common stock of the Company. The loan is being repaid principally by the Bank through contributions to the ESOP over a period of ten years. The interest rate on the loan is fixed at 4.0% per annum.  As of June 30, 2011, the remaining balance of the ESOP loan was $858,000.  Neither the loan nor the related interest is reflected on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

At June 30, 2011, the ESOP was committed to release 11,556 shares of the Company’s common stock to participants and held 80,892 unallocated shares remaining to be released in future years.  The fair value of the 80,892 restricted shares held by the ESOP trust was $526,000 at June 30, 2011.  ESOP compensation expense included in salaries and benefits was $41,000 for the six month period ended June 30, 2011.

Item 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation
 
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
 
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
General
 
Sound Financial, Inc. (the “Company”) is the holding company and sole owner of Sound Community Bank (the “Bank”).  Sound MHC, a mutual holding company, owns 55% of the outstanding stock of the Company.  The Management Discussion and Analysis in Item 7 of the Company’s Form 10-K Annual Report filed with the SEC on March 31, 2011 contains an overview of the Company’s and the Bank’s business and history under the heading “General.”  This discussion updates that disclosure for the first half of 2011.
 
During the first half of 2011, the Company continued to encounter a number of challenges but also met or exceeded a number of its goals.  Our market area continues to struggle economically, particularly with high unemployment levels and reduced housing prices, which has resulted in elevated levels of loan delinquencies, problem assets and foreclosures, decreased demand for our products and services and a decline in the value of our loan collateral.  If market conditions do not improve or become more severe, this negative impact on our business, financial condition and earnings may increase.  Even under these economic conditions, we were able to meet our goal of diversifying our loan portfolio by expanding our commercial real estate and multifamily lending business.  The Company has continued to focus on expanding its commercial business and commercial real estate loan portfolio, which has grown to $123.9 million or 42.1% of our net loan portfolio at June 30, 2011, compared to $115.1 million or 39.0% of our net loan portfolio at December 31, 2010.   The primary driver of the growth of our commercial real estate portfolio has been multifamily loans, which has grown to $38.2 million, or 13.0%, of our net loan portfolio at June 30, 2011, compared to $30.9 million, or 10.5%, of our net loan portfolio at December 31, 2010.  The increased level of commercial business, commercial real estate and multifamily loans has had a positive impact on our net interest income and has helped to further diversify our loan portfolio mix.
 
In addition, as part of our business, we continue to focus on mortgage loan originations.  We originated $30.0 million and $27.6 million in one- to four-family residential mortgage loans during the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  During those same periods, we sold $21.6 million and $21.2 million, respectively, of those loans to Fannie Mae with servicing retained.  The increased one- to four-family residential mortgage loan originations in 2011 reflects slightly higher consumer demand in the marketplace for purchase financing, although refinancing demand is lower.  Loans sold during 2011 increased slightly due primarily to a $4.7 million bulk sale of a portion of the Company’s residential loan portfolio to Fannie Mae.  This was sold to manage the size of the Company’s balance sheet as well as generate additional funds to lend to borrowers.
 
As previously reported, the Company and the Bank were each under a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) with the OTS (which has recently been merged with and into the OCC) to address the regulator’s concerns about certain deficiencies or weaknesses at the Bank.  During July 2011, the Company’s MOU was lifted and the Bank’s MOU was modified to remove the prohibition relating the Bank’s ability to pay dividends to the Company.  One of the requirements under the Bank’s MOU is that it must continue to maintain an 8.0% core capital ratio and a 12.0% total risk-based capital ratio, after funding an adequate allowance for loan and lease losses.  At June 30, 2011, the Bank’s core and total risk-based capital ratios were 8.16% and 12.13%, respectively.  See “- Capital.”  The Board of Directors continues to believe that the Bank MOU will not constrain the Bank’s or the Company’s business.

Critical Accounting Policies

We consider accounting policies involving significant judgments and assumptions by management that have, or could have, a material impact on the carrying value of certain assets or on income to be critical accounting policies. We consider our critical accounting policies to be those related to our allowance for loan losses, mortgage serving rights, other real estate owned, and deferred tax asset accounts.  The allowance for loan losses is maintained to cover losses that are probable and can be estimated on the date of the evaluation in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.  It is management’s best estimate of probable incurred credit losses in our loan portfolio.  Our methodologies for analyzing the allowance for loan losses, mortgage serving rights, other real estate owned and deferred tax asset accounts are described in our Form 10-K Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2010.
 
Business and Operating Strategies and Goals
 
The Management Discussion and Analysis in Item 7 of the Company’s Form 10-K Annual Report filed with the SEC on March 31, 2011 contains an overview of the Company’s and the Bank’s business and operating strategies and goals.  This discussion updates that disclosure for the first half of 2011.
 
Continue to grow capital through improved earnings.  Through asset mix management and pricing and lower cost funds, we will seek to optimize our interest rate margin while managing our interest rate risk.  Our net interest income during the first half of 2011 was higher than the same period in 2010.  Our noninterest income during the first half of 2011 was lower than the level during the first half of 2010.  We will seek new sources of non-interest income by emphasizing selective products and services that provide diversification of revenue sources, including interest income, fees and servicing income.  We also will continue to manage operating expenses while continuing to provide superior personal service to our customers.  Operating expenses were lower during the first half of 2011 compared to the same period in 2010.  Finally, our provision for loan losses was lower in the first half of 2011 than in the first half of 2010, reflecting some improvement in the economy both nationally and in the markets where we do business.  The Bank achieved net income of $950,000 in the first half 2011 compared to $335,000 in the first half of 2010.
 
Emphasizing lower cost core deposits to reduce the funding costs of our loan growth.  Our weighted average cost of funds was 51 basis points lower in the first half of 2011 compared to the first half of 2010.  This decrease was the result of lower market rates on deposits, a higher percentage of deposits in low or noninterest-bearing accounts during the quarter and lower balances and market rates on borrowings.
 
Maintaining high asset quality.  We have worked to improve asset quality that declined in recent years due to declining economic conditions.  Our percentage of non-performing assets to total assets decreased to 2.65% at June 30, 2011 from 2.96% at December 31, 2010.  At the same time, net charge-offs to average loans outstanding increased to 1.46% for the first half of 2011 compared to 1.04% during the first six months of 2010.
 
Comparison of Financial Condition at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010
 
General.  Total assets increased by $2.8 million, or 0.8%, to $337.5 million at June 30, 2011 from $334.6 million at December 31, 2010.  This increase consisted primarily of a $5.8 million, or 64.3%, increase in cash and cash equivalents and a $1.2 million, or 26.6% decrease, in available-for-sale securities.
 

 
28

 

Cash and Securities.  We increased our on-balance sheet liquidity position during the six months ended June 30, 2011 because of strong deposit growth.  While the Company has access to significant off-balance sheet sources of liquidity, it is focused on increasing on-balance sheet liquidity.  Cash, cash equivalents and our available-for-sale securities increased $4.6 million, or 34.0%, to $18.3 million at June 30, 2011.  Cash and cash equivalents increased by $5.8 million, or 64.3%, to $14.9 million at June 30, 2011, as the Company was successful in attracting deposits while paying down FHLB advances.  Available-for-sale securities, which consist primarily of non-agency mortgage-backed securities, decreased by $1.2 million, or 26.6%, to $3.3 million at June 30, 2011.  This decrease reflects investment sales, pay downs and other-than-temporary impairment on our non-agency mortgage-backed security portfolio.
 
At June 30, 2011, our available-for-sale securities portfolio consisted of $62,000 in U.S.-agency and $3.3 million in non-agency mortgage backed securities, of which, all five non-U.S. agency securities were in an unrealized loss position.  The unrealized losses are the result of changes in interest rates and market illiquidity that caused a decline in the fair value of these securities since they were purchased.  Non-U.S. agency securities present a higher credit risk than U.S. agency mortgage-backed securities.  In order to monitor the increased risk, management receives and reviews a quarterly credit surveillance report from a third party which evaluates these securities based on a number of factors, including original credit scores, loan-to-value ratios, geographic locations, delinquencies and loss histories of the underlying mortgage loans, in order to project future losses based on various home price depreciation scenarios over a three-year horizon.  Based on these reports, management ascertains the appropriate value for these securities and, in the first half of 2011, we recorded an other-than-temporary impairment charge of $39,000 on one of these non-agency securities.  The current market environment significantly limits our ability to mitigate our exposure to value changes in these more risky securities by selling them, and we do not anticipate these conditions changing significantly during the remainder of 2011.  Accordingly, if the market and economic environment impacting the loans supported by these securities continues to deteriorate, we could determine that additional other-than-temporary impairment charges must be recorded on these securities, as well as on other securities in our portfolio, and our future earnings, equity, regulatory capital and ongoing operations could be materially adversely affected.
 
Our investment portfolio at June 30, 2011, also included $2.4 million in Federal Home Loan Bank stock, which we are required to own in order to obtain advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Seattle.  Federal Home Loan Bank stock is carried at par and does not have a readily determinable fair value.  Ownership of Federal Home Loan Bank stock is restricted to the Federal Home Loan Bank member institutions, and can only be purchased and redeemed at par of $100.  Due to ongoing turmoil in the capital and mortgage markets, the Federal Home Loan Bank of Seattle has a risk-based capital deficiency largely as a result of write-downs on its private label mortgage-backed securities portfolios.  Management evaluates our Federal Home Loan Bank stock for potential impairment.  Management’s determination of whether this investment is impaired is based on its assessment of the ultimate recoverability of cost rather than by recognizing temporary declines in value.  The determination of whether a decline affects the ultimate recoverability of cost is influenced by criteria such as:  (1) the significance of any decline in net assets of the Federal Home Loan Bank as compared to the capital stock amount for the Federal Home Loan Bank and the length of time this situation has persisted; (2) commitments by the Federal Home Loan Bank to make payments required by law or regulation and the level of such payments in relation to the operating performance of the Federal Home Loan Bank; (3) the impact of legislative and regulatory changes on institutions and, accordingly, the customer base of the Federal Home Loan Bank; and (4) the liquidity position of the Federal Home Loan Bank.  Under Federal Housing Finance Agency regulations, a Federal Home Loan Bank that fails to meet any regulatory capital requirement may not declare a dividend or redeem or repurchase capital stock in excess of what is required for members’ current loans.  The Federal Home Loan Bank of Seattle announced that it had as of December 31, 2008 and continues to have a risk-based capital deficiency under those regulations and, as a result, has suspended future dividends and the repurchase or redemption of its common stock.  Therefore, we have received no dividends on our Federal Home Loan Bank stock since 2008.  The Federal Home Loan Bank of Seattle has communicated that it believes the calculation of its risk-based capital under applicable regulations overstates the market risk of its non-agency mortgage-backed securities and that it has enough capital to cover the risks reflected in its balance sheet.  We have determined there is not an other-than-temporary impairment on our Federal Home Loan Bank stock investment as of June 30, 2011.
 
However, continued deterioration in the Federal Home Loan Bank of Seattle’s financial condition may result in impairment in the value of our Federal Home Loan Bank stock.  On October 25, 2010, the Federal Home Loan Bank entered into a consent order with its primary regulator; however, the impact of that order on its conditions or operations over time is unknown.  We will continue to monitor the financial condition of the Federal Home Loan Bank as it relates to, among other things, the recoverability of our investment in its stock.

Loans.  Our gross loan portfolio, excluding loans held for sale, decreased $669,000, or 0.2%, from $299.2 million at December 31, 2010 to $298.6 million at June 30, 2011.  Loans held for sale decreased from $902,000 at December 31, 2010, to $392,000 at June 30, 2011, reflecting primarily the timing of transactions at the end of the period, as compared to the end of 2010.
 
The following table reflects the changes in the types of loans in our gross loan portfolio at June 30, 2011 as compared to the end of 2010.

The most significant changes in our loan portfolio during the six month period ended June 30, 2011 consisted of increases in multifamily loans and decreases in residential mortgages.  The increase in multifamily housing loans is consistent with our operating strategy of growing and diversifying our loan portfolio.  The decrease in residential mortgages primarily reflects a $4.7 million bulk sale of seasoned residential mortgages to Fannie Mae with servicing retained coupled with lower overall consumer demand, particularly in refinancing.
 
Mortgage Servicing Rights.  At June 30, 2011, we had $3.3 million in mortgage servicing rights recorded at fair value, compared to $3.2 million at December 31, 2010.  We estimate the fair value of our mortgage servicing rights using a discounted cash flow model based on market information from a third party.  We record mortgage servicing rights on loans sold to Fannie Mae with servicing retained.  The Bank stratifies its capitalized mortgage servicing rights based on the type, term and interest rates of the underlying loans.  None of our mortgage servicing rights are deemed impaired; however, if they were determined to be impaired in the future, our financial results would be impacted.
 
Delinquencies and Nonperforming Assets.  As of June 30, 2011, our total loans delinquent for 60 to 89 days was $923,000 or 0.31% of gross loans, compared to $507,000 or 0.17% of gross loans at December 31, 2010.
 
At June 30, 2011, our nonperforming assets totaled $8.9 million, or 2.7% of total assets, compared to $9.9 million, or 3.0% of total assets at December 31, 2010.  This $439,000, or 4.2% decrease is the result of increased credit administration efforts, which was offset by a $873,000 increase in OREO and other repossessed assets acquired during the six months ended June 30, 2011.  Net charge-offs increased $159,000, or 7.9%, to $2.2 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from $2.0 million in the second half of 2010.  Our largest non-performing assets at June 30, 2011, consisted of a $1.2 million commercial real estate loan secured by a retail building, an $860,000
 
 
30

commercial real estate loan secured by a mobile home park and a $305,000 mortgage loan secured by a single family residence.  We do not expect any material losses on these nonperforming assets in 2011.  We had no other non-performing loans in excess of $220,000 at June 30, 2011.  Non-performing loans to total loans decreased to 1.8% of gross loans at June 30, 2011, from 2.4% at the end of 2010.  This decrease reflects lower levels of restructured loans and lower nonaccruing loans.
 
Foreclosed and repossessed assets increased during the quarter, from $2.6 million at the end of 2010 to $3.5 million at June 30, 2011, primarily due to continued depressed economic conditions in our market.  During the two quarters ended June 30, 2011, we repossessed nine personal residences, one commercial retail property and seven mobile homes.  We sold or released interest in six personal residences, two commercial properties and five mobile homes.
 
The table below sets forth the amounts and categories of non-performing assets in our loan portfolio at the dates indicated.

In addition to the non-performing assets set forth in the table above, as of June 30, 2011, there was an aggregate of $2.3 million in loans with respect to which known information about the possible credit problems of the borrowers have caused management to have doubts as to the abilities of the borrowers to comply with present loan repayment terms.  This may result in the future inclusion of such items in the non-performing asset categories.
 
Allowance for Loan Losses.  The allowance for loan losses is maintained to cover losses that are probable and can be estimated on the date of the evaluation in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.  It is our estimate of probable incurred credit losses in our loan portfolio.
 
Our methodology for analyzing the allowance for loan losses consists of specific and general components.  We stratify the loan portfolio into homogeneous groups of loans that possess similar loss-potential characteristics and apply an appropriate loss ratio to the homogeneous pools of loans to estimate the incurred losses in the loan portfolio.  The amount of loan losses incurred in our consumer portfolio is estimated by using historical loss ratios for major loan collateral types adjusted for current factors.  The historical loss experience is generally defined as an average percentage of net loan losses to loans outstanding.  A separate valuation of known losses for individual classified large-balance, non-homogeneous loans is also conducted in accordance with Codification Standard ASC Topic 310.  The allowance for loan losses on individually analyzed loans includes commercial business loans and one- to four-family and commercial real estate loans, where management has concerns about the borrower’s ability to repay.  Loss estimates include the difference between the current fair value of the collateral and the loan amount due.
 
Our allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2011, was $4.4 million, or 1.46% of gross loans receivable, compared to $4.4 million, or 1.48% of net loans receivable, at December 31, 2010.  This reflects the $2.1 million provision for loan losses established during the two quarters ended June 30, 2011 and the $2.2 million in net charge-offs on nonperforming loans during the quarter.

Allowance as a percentage of total

    1.46 %     1.29 %

The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of loans receivable increased at June 30, 2011 due to the $2.1 million of provision expense during the period and a decrease in overall loans receivable.  The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of non-performing loans increased at June 30, 2011 due to a decrease in non-performing loans of $4.8 million and a $364,000 increase in the allowance compared to June 30, 2010.
 
At June 30, 2011, specific loan loss reserves were $439,000 higher than at June 30, 2010  while general loan loss reserves were $55,000 higher.  Net charge-offs for the six months ended June 30, 2011 were $2.2 million, or 1.46% of average loans on an annualized basis, compared to $1.7 million or 1.04% of average loans on an annualized basis for the same period in 2010.  The increase was primarily due to increased charge-offs of one-to-four family mortgages, home equity loans, and commercial real estate.

 
Deposits.  Total deposits increased by $9.1 million, or 3.3%, to $287.6 million at June 30, 2011, from $278.5 million at December 31, 2010.  During the first half of 2011, we experienced a $7.2 million increase in interest-bearing deposit accounts and a $1.9 million increase in noninterest-bearing deposit accounts.

Borrowings.  Federal Home Loan Bank advances decreased $6.0 million, or 24.2%, to $18.8 million at June 30, 2011, with a weighted-average yield of 1.72% from $24.8 million at December 31, 2010, with a weighted-average yield of 2.52%.  We continue to rely on Federal Home Loan Bank advances to fund interest earning asset growth when deposit growth is insufficient to fund such growth.  This reliance on borrowings, rather than deposits, may increase our overall cost of funds.  We decreased reliance on these borrowings during the six months ended June 30, 2011 due to increases in our total deposits during the period.
 
Equity.  Total equity increased $1.1 million, or 4.0%, to $28.0 million at June 30, 2011, from $26.9 million at December 31, 2010.  This reflects $950,000 in net income for the first half of 2011 and a $59,000 improvement in accumulated other comprehensive losses.
 
Comparison of Results of Operation for the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2011 and 2010
 
General. Net income increased $176,000, or 63.3%, to $454,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2011, compared to net income of $278,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2010.  The primary reasons for this improvement were decreases in interest expense, salaries and benefits and operation expenses.  These decreases were partially offset by a decrease in interest income and increases in the provision for loan losses and losses and expenses related to the maintenance and disposition of other real estate owned and repossessed assets.
 
Net income increased $615,000 to $950,000, or 183.6%, for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to net income of $335,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 for the same reasons stated above.  The primary reasons for this improvement were decreases in interest expense, salaries and benefits and operation expenses.  These decreases were partially offset by a decrease in interest income and losses and expenses related to the maintenance and disposition of other real estate owned and repossessed assets.
 
Interest Income.  Interest income decreased by $223,000, or 4.5%, to $4.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2011, from $4.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2010.  This decrease in interest income for the period reflects the decreased amount of average loans outstanding during the 2011 period and reduced investment balances and related interest income.  The weighted average yield on loans decreased from 6.25% for the quarter ended June 30, 2010, to 6.23% for the quarter ended June 30, 2011.  The decrease was primarily the result of the continued historically low rate environment throughout the year, competitive pricing pressures on loans to well-qualified borrowers and decreasing average balances of higher-yielding consumer loans due to lack of marketplace demand.  The decrease in the weighted average yield on loans, however, was tempered by the increase in average balances of commercial loans which typically have higher yields than residential loans though lower than consumer loans.  The weighted average yield on investments was 6.25% for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 compared to 6.33% for the same period during 2010.  This lower yield was the result of sales of somewhat higher yielding investments between the periods compared.

Interest income decreased by $345,000, or 3.6%, to $9.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, from $9.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010.  The weighted average yield on loans decreased from 6.24% for the six months ended June 30, 2010, to 6.20% for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The weighted average yield on investments was 6.35% for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to 5.88% for the same period during 2010. Decreases in yields in the six month period were a result of the same reasons as stated above.

Interest income decreased by $345,000, or 3.6%, to $9.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, from $9.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010.  The weighted average yield on loans decreased from 6.24% for the six months ended June 30, 2010, to 6.20% for the six months ended June 30, 2011.  The weighted average yield on investments was 6.35% for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to 5.88% for the same period during 2010.  Decreases in yields in the six month period were a result of the same reasons as stated above.
 
Interest Expense.  Total interest expense decreased $469,000, or 40.7%, to $683,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2011, from $1.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2010.  This decrease reflects continuing lower interest rates paid on deposits and Federal Home Loan Bank advances and decreases in the average balances of deposits and borrowings during the 2011 period.  Our weighted average cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 0.91% for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 compared to 1.50% for the same period in 2010.  This decrease in average rates was a result of the repricing of matured certificates of deposit that the Bank was able to retain at lower rates, lower average balances and rates paid on borrowings and the Bank’s success in attracting noninterest checking and other lower cost deposit accounts such as savings and money market accounts.
 
Interest paid on deposits decreased $365,000, or 37.1% to $618,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2011, from $983,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2010.  This decrease resulted from a decrease in the weighted average cost of deposits and the $2.9 million decrease in the average balance of deposits outstanding during the 2011 period.  We experienced a 50 basis point decrease in the average rate paid on deposits during the quarter ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010.  This decrease in average rates was a result of the repricing of matured certificate deposits that the Bank was able to retain at lower rates as well as an emphasis by the Bank on attracting lower-cost product types such as savings, checking and money market accounts versus certificates of deposit.
 
Interest expense on borrowings decreased $104,000, or 61.5%, to $65,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 from $169,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2010.  The decrease resulted from a decrease of 161 basis points in our cost of borrowings from 3.05% in the 2010 period to 1.44% in the 2011 period and a $4.2 million, or 18.8%, decrease in our average balance of outstanding borrowings.
 
Total interest expense decreased $886,000, or 38.2%, to $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, from $2.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010.  This decrease is a result of the same reasons stated above.  Our weighted average cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 0.98% for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to 1.50% for the same period in 2010.
 
Interest paid on deposits decreased $737,000, or 36.8%, to $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, from $2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010.  This decrease resulted from a decrease in the weighted average cost of deposits and a $7.9 million decrease in the average balance of deposits outstanding during the 2011 period.  We experienced a 47 basis point decrease in the average rate paid on deposits during the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010.  This decrease in average rates was a result of the repricing of matured certificate deposits that the Bank was able to retain at significantly lower rates as well as lower interest rates paid on existing savings, interest bearing checking and money market accounts and an emphasis by the Bank on attracting lower-cost product types such as savings, checking and money market accounts versus certificates of deposit.
 
Interest expense on borrowings decreased $149,000, or 46.9%, to $169,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 from $318,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010.  The decrease resulted from a decrease of 98 basis points in our cost of borrowings from 2.70% in the 2010 period to 1.72% in the 2011 period and a $3.8 million, or 16.3%, decrease in our average balance of outstanding borrowings at the Federal Home Loan Bank.
 
Net Interest Income.  Net interest income increased $246,000, or 6.5%, to $4.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2011, from $3.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2010.  The increase in net interest income for the 2011 period primarily resulted from the lower rates on lower average balances of deposits and borrowings.  Our net interest margin was 5.3% for the quarter ended June 30, 2011, compared to 4.8% for the quarter ended June 30, 2010.
 
Net interest income increased $541,000, or 7.3%, to $7.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, from $7.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010.  The increase in net interest income for the 2011 period primarily resulted from the lower rates on lower average balances of deposits and borrowings.  Our net interest margin was 5.26% for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to 4.44% for the six months ended June 30, 2010.

Provision for Loan Losses.  We establish provisions for loan losses, which are charged to earnings, at a level required to reflect management’s best estimate of the probable inherent credit losses in the loan portfolio.  In evaluating the level of the allowance for loan losses, management considers historical loss experience, the types of loans and the amount of loans in the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect borrowers’ ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral, peer group data, prevailing economic conditions, and current factors.  Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans, such as residential real estate, small commercial real estate, home equity and consumer loans, are evaluated in the aggregate using historical loss factors adjusted for current economic conditions and other relevant data.  Loans for which management has concerns about the borrowers’ ability to repay, are evaluated individually, and specific loss allocations are provided for these loans when necessary.
 
A provision of $1.2 million was made during the quarter ended June 30, 2011, compared to provision of $775,000 during the quarter ended June 30, 2010.  A provision of $2.1 million was made during the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to a provision of $2.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2010.  The provision, while slightly lower for the six month period ended June 30, 2011, was higher in the quarter ended June 30, 2011 compared to prior quarter and the year ago quarter due to higher charge offs in the quarter ended June 30 2011.  Overall, the Company believes that elevated levels of nonperforming assets and charge-offs will continue until the housing market, unemployment, and general economic market conditions begin to show an extended period of recovery
 
At June 30, 2011, the annualized percentage of net charge-offs to average loans increased 42 basis points to 1.46% from 1.04% at June 30, 2010.  The ratio of non-performing loans to total loans decreased from 3.31% at June 30, 2010 to 1.82% at June 30, 2011.  See “- Comparison of Financial Condition at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 -- Delinquencies and Non-Performing Assets” for more information on non-performing loans during the first half of 2011.
 
Noninterest Income.  Noninterest income increased $339,000, or 61.0%, to $895,000 during the quarter ended June 30, 2011, compared to $556,000 during the quarter ended June 30, 2010 as reflected below:

____________________
NM – Not Meaningful

Service charges and fee income decreased as a result of lower NSF revenue.  The fair value adjustment on mortgage servicing rights was impacted by the slowing of prepayment speeds which resulted in a higher market value of the asset.  The loss on sale of fixed assets was a result of the sale of a commercial building acquired during the purchase of branches from 1st Security Bank of Washington in November 2009.  The increase in the gain on sale of loans is a result of variability in the interest rate environment for residential mortgages and is primarily a product of timing and somewhat higher volumes of loans originations in the 2011 period compared to 2010.

Service charges and fee income decreased as a result of lower NSF revenue.  Mortgage servicing income decreases and the fair value adjustment changed for the same reasons as mentioned above.  Other-than-temporary impairment losses were lower in the 2011 period as a result of improved performance of our non-agency mortgage backed securities during the period.  The loss on sale of securities was the result of non-agency mortgage backed securities sales.  The loss on sale of fixed assets and the increase in the gain on sale are for the same reasons as mentioned in the previous table.
 
Noninterest Expense.  Noninterest expense decreased $139,000, or 4.4%, to $3.0 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2011, compared to $3.2 million during the same period in 2010, as reflected below:

Salaries and benefits decreased in the 2011 period as a result of the reduction in force implemented in 2010, which reduced the number of employees at the beginning of 2011 by 17 from the level at the beginning of 2010.  Operations and occupancy expense decreased during the 2011 period as the result the closing of our East Marginal Way branch in South Seattle and of lower legal, professional and marketing expense during the 2011 period.  Data processing expenses were lower in the 2011 period due to the consolidation of certain processing services.  We experienced a significant increase in net losses and expenses on the sale of repossessed assets as a result of continuing depressed market values and more aggressive pricing of our repossessed assets in order to achieve sales in the depressed market.

Income Tax Expense.   For the quarter ended June 30, 2011, we had income tax expense of $198,000 on our pre-tax income of $652,000 as compared to income tax expense of $101,000 on pre-tax income of $378,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2010.  The effective tax rates for the quarters ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 were 30.4% and 26.6%, respectively.  For the six months ended June 30, 2011, we had an income tax expense of $421,000 on our pre-tax income of $1.4 million as compared to an income tax expense of $93,000 on our pre-tax income of $428,000 for the six month period ended June 30, 2010.  The effective tax rates for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 were 30.7% and 21.8%, respectively.

Liquidity
 
The Management Discussion and Analysis in Item 7 of the Company’s Form 10-K Annual Report filed with the SEC on March 31, 2011 contains an overview of the Company’s and the Bank’s liquidity management, sources of liquidity and cash flows.  This discussion updates that disclosure for the first half of 2011.
 
At June 30, 2011, the Bank had $18.3 million in cash and investment securities available for sale and $392,000 in loans held for sale generally available for its cash needs.  Also, based on existing collateral pledged, the Bank had the ability to borrow an additional $69.2 million in Federal Home Loan Bank advances, $24.3 million through the Federal Reserve’s Discount Window and $2.0 million through Pacific Coast Banker’s Bank.  The Bank uses these sources of funds primarily to meet ongoing commitments, pay maturing deposits and fund withdrawals, and to fund loan commitments.  At June 30, 2011, the approved outstanding loan commitments, including unused lines and letters of credit, amounted to $34.0 million.  Certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in one year or less at June 30, 2011, totaled $63.1 million Based on our competitive pricing, we believe that a majority of maturing deposits will remain with the Bank.
 
As a separate legal entity from the Bank, the Company must provide for its own liquidity.  At June 30, 2011, the Company, on an unconsolidated basis, had $197,000 in cash, interest-bearing deposits and liquid investments generally available for its cash needs.  The Company’s principal source of liquidity is dividends from the Bank.
 
Except as set forth above, management is not aware of any trends, events, or uncertainties that will have, or that are reasonably likely to have a material impact on liquidity, capital resources or operations.
 

Off-Balance Sheet Activities
 
In the normal course of operations, the Company engages in a variety of financial transactions that are not recorded in our financial statements.  These transactions involve varying degrees of off-balance sheet credit, interest rate and liquidity risks.  These transactions are used primarily to manage customers’ requests for funding and take the form of loan commitments and lines of credit.  During the quarter ended June 30, 2011, we engaged in no off-balance sheet transactions likely to have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
 
A summary of our off-balance sheet loan commitments at June 30, 2011, is as follows:

Capital
 
The Bank is subject to minimum capital requirements imposed by regulations.  Based on its capital levels at June 30, 2011, the Bank exceeded these requirements as of that date and continues to exceed them as of the date of this report.  Based on capital levels at June 30, 2011, the Bank was considered to be well-capitalized; as defined by banking regulations.
 
As previously reported, the Company and the Bank were each under a MOU with the OTS (which has recently been merged with and into the OCC) to address the regulator’s concerns about certain deficiencies or weaknesses at the Bank.  During July 2011, the Company’s MOU was lifted and the Bank’s MOU was modified to remove the prohibition relating the Bank’s ability to pay dividends to the Company.  One of the requirements under the Bank’s MOU is that it must continue to maintain an 8.0% core capital ratio and a 12.0% total risk-based capital ratio, after funding an adequate allowance for loan and lease losses.  At June 30, 2011, the Bank’s core and total risk-based capital ratios were 8.16% and 12.13%, respectively.  The Board of Directors continues to believe that the Bank MOU will not constrain the Bank’s or the Company’s business."

 Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
 
The Company is a smaller reporting company and is not required to provide this disclosure.
 
The Company provided information about market risk in Item 7A of its Form 10-K Annual Report filed with the SEC on March 31, 2011.  There have been no material changes in our market risk since our December 31, 2010 Form 1--K.
 
Item 4                      Controls and Procedures

(a)  
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

An evaluation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a -15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Act") as of June 30, 2011, was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and several other members of the Company's senior management. The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2011, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Act is: (i) accumulated and communicated to the Company's management (including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer) in a timely manner, and (ii) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.
 
We intend to continually review and evaluate the design and effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures and to improve the Company’s controls and procedures over time and to correct any deficiencies that we may discover in the future. The goal is to ensure that senior management has timely access to all material financial and non-financial information concerning the Company's business. While we believe the present design of the disclosure controls and procedures is effective to achieve this goal, future events affecting our business may cause the Company to modify its disclosure controls and procedures.
 
 
The Company does not expect that its disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all error and all fraud. A control procedure, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control procedure are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control procedures, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any control procedure is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control procedure, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
 
 
(b)  
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting.
 
 
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a - 15(f) under the Act) that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2011, that has materially affected, or is likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
