PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Form 10-Q”) contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Pacific Capital Bancorp (the “Company” or “PCBC”) intends such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements in these provisions. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, are “forward-looking statements” for purposes of federal and state securities laws, including, but not limited to, statements about anticipated future operating and financial performance, financial position and liquidity, business prospects, strategic alternatives, business strategies, regulatory and competitive outlook, investment and expenditure plans, capital and financing needs and availability, acquisition and divestiture opportunities, plans and objectives of management for future operations, consummation of the transaction with UnionBanCal Corporation (“UNBC”) and other similar forecasts and statements of expectation and statements of assumptions underlying any of the foregoing. Words such as “will likely result,” “aims,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “could,” “estimates,” “expects,” “hopes,” “intends,” “may,” “plans,” “projects,” “seeks,” “should,” “will,” and variations of these words and similar expressions are intended to identify these forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements are based on the Company’s current expectations and assumptions regarding its business, the regulatory environment, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. The Company’s actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements. The Company cautions the reader of these statements therefore against relying on any of these forward-looking statements. They are neither statements of historical fact nor guarantees or assurances of future performance. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the following:

 

  ¡  

Inability to continuously satisfy the requirements of the Operating Agreement dated September 2, 2010, by and between Santa Barbara Bank & Trust, N.A. (“the Bank”) and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”);

NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Operations

Pacific Capital Bancorp is a bank holding company organized under the laws of the state of Delaware. The Company provides a full range of commercial and consumer banking services to households, professionals, and businesses through its wholly-owned subsidiary Santa Barbara Bank & Trust, National Association (“SBB&T”). These banking services include depository, lending and wealth management services. The Bank’s lending products include commercial and industrial (“commercial”), consumer, commercial and residential real estate loans and Small Business Administration (“SBA”) loans. Depository services include checking, interest bearing checking (“NOW”), money market demand accounts (“MMDA”), savings, and certificates of deposit (“CD”) accounts, as well as safe deposit boxes, travelers’ checks, money orders, foreign exchange services, and cashier’s checks. The Bank also offers a wide range of wealth management services through a full service trust operation and two registered investment advisors (“RIA”) that are wholly-owned subsidiaries, Morton Capital Management (“MCM”) and R.E. Wacker Associates (“REWA”). The Bank conducts its banking operations in the counties of Santa Barbara, Ventura, Los Angeles, Monterey, San Luis Obispo, Santa Clara, Santa Cruz, and San Benito.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements of PCBC are unaudited and, in the opinion of Management, include all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial position and results of operations for the periods presented. All inter-company balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

The Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, also referred to as the “2011 Form 10-K.” The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and related footnotes have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X and conform to practices within the financial services industry. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The results of operations, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2012. The Consolidated Financial Statements refer to “Management” within the disclosures. The Company’s definition of Management is the executive management team of the Company and its subsidiaries.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amount of assets and liabilities as well as disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Although Management believes these estimates to be reasonably accurate, actual amounts may differ. In the opinion of Management, all adjustments considered necessary have been reflected in the financial statements during their preparation. Certain amounts in the 2011 Consolidated Financial Statements have been reclassified to be comparable with classifications used in the 2012 Consolidated Financial Statements.

Recent Developments

On March 12, 2012, the Company announced that it had entered into a Merger Agreement with UNBC (the “Merger Agreement”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each outstanding share of the Company’s common stock will be converted into the right to receive cash in the amount of $46.00 per share upon consummation of the Merger. The acquisition requires approval from banking regulators and is subject to other customary closing conditions, and is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2012.

Recapitalization through the Investment Transaction and Purchase Accounting

On August 31, 2010, pursuant to the terms of an Investment Agreement (the “Investment Agreement”), dated as of April 29, 2010, by and among the Company, the Bank and SB Acquisition Company LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ford Financial Fund, L.P. (the “Investor”), the Company issued common and preferred stock to the Investor for the aggregate consideration paid to the Company by the Investor of $500 million in cash, herein referred to as the “Investment Transaction.”

As a result of the Investment Transaction, pursuant to which the Investor acquired and controlled 98.1% of the voting securities of the Company, the Company followed the acquisition or purchase method of accounting as required by the Business Combinations Topic of the Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). Under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) Staff Accounting Bulletin T. 5J, New Basis of Accounting Required in Certain Circumstances (“SEC SAB T. 5J”) or ASC 805-50-S99, the application of “push down” accounting is required.

Purchase accounting requires that the assets purchased, the liabilities assumed, and noncontrolling interests all be reported in the acquirer’s financial statements at their fair value, with any excess of purchase consideration over the net assets being reported as goodwill. Although the $500 million in cash from the Investor was received on August 31, 2010, the purchase accounting adjustments are reflected in the Consolidated Financial Statements after the close of business on August 31, 2010, and herein is referred to as “the Transaction Date.”

In addition to the new accounting basis established for assets, liabilities and noncontrolling interests, purchase accounting requires the reclassification of any retained earnings from periods prior to the acquisition to be recognized as common share equity and the elimination of any accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) or loss and paid in capital within the Company’s Shareholders’ Equity section of the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. For information regarding the authorized shares and stock issuances related to the Investment Transaction refer to Note 2, “Business Combinations – Investment Transaction” of the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s 2011 Form 10-K.

Consolidation of Subsidiaries and Variable Interest Entities

The Company has five wholly-owned subsidiaries: SBB&T and four unconsolidated subsidiaries used as business trusts in connection with issuance of trust preferred securities as described in Note 15, “Segments” of these Consolidated Financial Statements.

SBB&T has three wholly-owned consolidated subsidiaries:

 

  ¡  

MCM and REWA, registered investment advisors that provide investment advisory services to individuals, foundations, retirement plans and select institutional clients; and

 

  ¡  

PCB Service Corporation, utilized as a trustee of deeds of trust in which SBB&T is the beneficiary.

SBB&T also retains ownership in several low income housing tax credit partnerships (“LIHTCP”) that generate tax credits. These partnerships are not consolidated into these Consolidated Financial Statements. These investments play a role in meeting SBB&T’s Community Reinvestment Act (“CRA”) requirements as well as providing tax credits to reduce the Company’s taxable income. The Company does not have any other entities that should be considered for consolidation.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the following accounting pronouncement applicable to the Company was issued:

In July 2012, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2012-02, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350). This ASU allows an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test for indefinite-lived intangible assets. An organization that elects to perform a qualitative assessment is required to perform the quantitative impairment test for an indefinite-lived intangible asset if it is more likely than not that the asset is impaired. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012, and should be applied to annual and interim impairment testing. Early adoption is permitted for annual and interim impairment tests as of a date before July 27, 2012, provided that an entity’s financial statements for the most recent annual or interim period have yet to have been issued. The adoption of this new guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

Cash Reserve Requirement

All depository institutions are required by law to maintain reserves against their transaction deposits. The Bank’s reserves must be held in cash or with the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco (“Reserve Bank”). The amount of the reserve may vary each day as banks are permitted to meet this requirement by maintaining the specified amount as an average balance over a two-week period. In addition, the Bank must maintain sufficient balances to cover the checks written by the Bank’s clients that are clearing through the Reserve Bank because they have been deposited at other banks.

Investment Securities

All investment securities are debt securities and are classified as available for sale (“AFS”). The appropriate classification is determined at the time of purchase. Securities classified as AFS are reported as an asset on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at their estimated fair value. As the fair value of AFS securities changes, the changes are reported (net of income taxes, if applicable) as an element of AOCI. When AFS securities, specifically identified, are sold, the unrealized gain or loss is reclassified from AOCI to noninterest income.

When the estimated fair value of a security is lower than the book value, a security is considered to be temporarily impaired. On a quarterly basis, Management evaluates any securities in a loss position to determine whether the impairment is other-than-temporary. If there is intent to sell the security or if the Company will be required to sell the security or if the Company believes it will not recover the entire cost basis of the security, the security is other-than-temporarily impaired (“OTTI”) and impairment is recognized. The amount of impairment resulting from credit loss is recognized in earnings and impairment related to all other factors, such as general market conditions, is recognized in AOCI.

Management considers a number of factors in its analysis of whether a decline in a security’s estimated fair value is an OTTI. Certain factors considered include, but are not limited to: (a) changes in the financial condition of the issuer, (b) the payment structure of debt securities, (c) adverse changes in ratings issued by rating agencies, (d) and the intent and ability of the Company to hold the security for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. Interest income is recognized based on the coupon rate, and is increased by the accretion of discounts earned or decreased by the amortization of premiums paid over the contractual life of the security using the effective interest method.

The Bank is a member of both the Reserve Bank and the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco (“FHLB”), and as a condition of membership in both organizations, it is required to purchase stock. In the case of the Reserve Bank, the amount of stock that is required to be held is based on the Bank’s capital. The required ownership of FHLB stock is based on the borrowing capacity used by the Bank. These investments are considered equity securities with no actively traded market. Therefore, the shares are considered restricted investment securities and reported in FHLB stock and other investments in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Such investments are carried at cost, which is equal to the value at which they may be redeemed. The dividend income received from the stock is reported in interest income.

Loans Held for Sale

Periodically, the Company originates or identifies loans it expects to sell prior to maturity. When loans are originated or identified to be sold, they are recorded as held for sale and reported at the lower of cost or fair value with any adjustment for net unrealized losses reported in noninterest income. Generally, the fair value of loans held for sale is based on what secondary markets are currently offering for loans with similar characteristics or based on an agreed upon sales price. A loan’s cost basis includes unearned deferred fees and costs, and premiums and discounts. These loans are generally held between 30 to 90 days from their origination date. Due to the short period of time loans are held for sale, deferred fees or expenses are not amortized. Any subsequent decreases in fair value are recognized in noninterest income, and increases in fair value are not recognized until the loans are sold. If a loan has been reported as held for sale and is then determined that it is unlikely to be sold, the loan is reclassified to loans held for investment at the lower of cost or fair value. The majority of loans held for sale by the Company are residential real estate loans. Loans classified as held for sale are disclosed in Note 4, “Loans” of these Consolidated Financial Statements.

Loans Held for Investment

Loans held for investment, except for Purchased Credit Impaired (“PCI”) Loan Pools described below, are reported at their outstanding principal balances net of any unearned income, cumulative charge-offs, unamortized deferred fees and costs on originated loans and unamortized premiums or discounts on purchased loans.

Loans originated or purchased since the Transaction Date are included in “Loans Held for Investment” within these Consolidated Financial Statements and are referred to within these Consolidated Financial Statements as “Loans originated or purchased since the Transaction Date.” At September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, a majority of the loans reported as Loans Held for Investment are in PCI Loan Pools. The accounting for PCI Loan Pools is significantly different from the accounting for loans originated or purchased since the Transaction Date. The accounting policies for the loans originated or purchased since the Transaction Date is covered within this section, while the accounting for PCI Loan Pools is described in the section below called “Accounting for PCI Loan Pools.”

Interest income on loans originated or purchased since the Transaction Date is accrued daily, except for loans in a nonaccrual status. Loan fees collected for the origination of loans less direct loan origination costs (net deferred loan fees) are amortized over the contractual life of the loan through interest income. If a loan has scheduled payments, the amortization of the net deferred loan fee is calculated using the effective interest method over the contractual life of the loan. If the loan does not have scheduled payments, such as a line of credit, the net deferred loan fee is recognized as interest income on a straight line basis over the contractual life of the loan commitment. Loan fees received for loan commitments are recognized as interest income over the term of the commitment. Premiums and discounts recorded in connection with the purchase of loans are accounted for in a similar manner as net deferred loan fees. Any premium or discount from a loan purchase is recognized in interest income over the life of the contractual life of the loan through interest income. When loans are repaid, any remaining unamortized balances of unearned fees, deferred fees and costs, premiums, and discounts are recognized in interest income.

Unfunded Loan Commitments and Letters of Credit

Letters and lines of credit are commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit to the Bank’s clients. These commitments meet the financing needs of the Bank’s clients in the normal course of business and are commitments with “off-balance sheet” risk since the Bank has committed to issuing funds to or on behalf of clients, but there is no current loan outstanding. Included in unfunded loan commitments are secured and unsecured lines of credit.

Lines of credit are obligations to lend money to a borrower. Credit risk arises when the borrowers’ current financial condition may indicate less ability to pay than when the commitment was originally made. Standby letters of credit and financial guarantees are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a client to a third party in borrowing arrangements. In the case of standby letters of credit, the risk arises from the possibility of the failure of the client to perform according to the terms of a contract. In such a situation, the third party might draw on the standby letter of credit to pay for completion of the contract and the Company would have to look to its client to repay these funds to the Company with interest. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it would for a loan to that client.

The Company has exposure to losses from unfunded loan commitments and letters of credit. Since the funds have not been disbursed on these commitments, they are not reported as loans outstanding. Potential losses related to these commitments are not included in the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses (“ALLL”) reported in Note 6, “Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses” of these Consolidated Financial Statements. Instead, they are accounted for as a separate loss contingency or reserve within other liabilities on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. This reserve is discussed within Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in a section called “Reserve for Off-Balance Sheet Commitments.”

Prior to the funding of a loan, the Company may provide an interest rate lock commitment for mortgage loans that will be originated with the intent to sell. The Company may also enter into mandatory delivery contracts, which are loan sale agreements in which the Company has committed to deliver a certain principal amount of mortgage loans to a third party investor at a specified price on or before a specified date. These interest rate lock commitments and mandatory delivery contracts qualify as derivatives under GAAP. The fair value of the interest rate lock commitments is based on the change in interest rates between the date the interest rate lock commitment is executed and the date the loan is funded. The fair value of the mandatory delivery contracts is calculated by comparing the price on the contract accepted date to the price on the actual sale date. The fair value of these derivatives is reported as other assets or other liabilities and changes in the fair values are reflected through noninterest income in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

Accounting for PCI Loan Pools

Loans acquired in a transfer, including business combinations, where there is evidence of credit deterioration since origination and it is probable at the date of acquisition that the acquirer will not collect all contractually required principal and interest payments, are accounted for using the guidance for PCI Loan Pools, which is contained in the ASC 310-30, Receivables, Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality (“ASC 310-30”). In addition, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“AICPA”) reached an understanding with the SEC that permits an acquirer to elect to account for acquired loans that are not impaired by means of expected cash flows rather than contractual cash flows. This understanding was documented in a letter from the AICPA to the SEC dated December 18, 2009. The Company has elected an accounting policy to apply expected cash flows accounting guidance to all loans subject to the business combination, and push-down accounting requirements for loan portfolios acquired in a business combination, and will herein be referred to as “PCI Term Pools.”

NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – CONTINUED

 

Some loans that otherwise meet the definition of credit impaired, such as revolving lines of credit, are specifically excluded from the scope of the accounting guidance in ASC 310-30 and are accounted for using ASC 310-20, Receivables, Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (“ASC 310-20”). However, Management considers these revolving lines of credit to also be credit impaired and has pooled these revolving lines of credit purchased through the Investment Transaction and herein will refer to these loans as “PCI Revolving Pools.”

PCI Term Pools

PCI Term Pools are initially recorded at fair value, and any related ALLL from before the acquisition was reversed. Fair value is determined by estimating the principal and interest cash flows expected to be collected after discounting at the prevailing market rate of interest. The difference between contractual cash flows and expected cash flows, on an undiscounted basis, represents the nonaccretable difference. The difference between undiscounted expected cash flows and discounted expected cash flows represents the accretable yield. The Company’s estimate for expected cash flows on PCI Loan Pools takes into consideration estimated prepayments based on the characteristics of the loans contained in each loan pool, and expected charge-offs and recoveries of the PCI Loan Pools. The accretable yield is recognized in interest income over the remaining life of the pool of loans using the effective interest method or cost recovery method if the cash flows are not estimable.

Management elected to aggregate PCI term loans into several pools based on common risk characteristics as allowed under ASC 310-30. Each pool is accounted for as a single asset with a single composite discount rate and an aggregate expectation of cash flows. Both the accretion of interest income and the comparison of actual cash flows to expected cash flows are completed at the pool level rather than on individual loans. PCI term loans may not be removed from a pool, added to a pool, or moved from one pool to another. All activity such as payments, charge-offs, recoveries, and prepayments received are applied to the loan pool in which the loan was placed. Payments in excess of expectations in one pool may not be applied to other pools to avoid the recognition of impairment for deficient payments within another pool. Only the payoff or prepayment by the borrower, foreclosure of the collateral, or charge-off, or disposal of a loan, as a result of sales of loans to third parties, will result in the removal of a loan from a loan pool. When a loan is removed from a pool, it is removed at its carrying amount.

Quarterly, the Company compares actual cash flows to expected cash flows for PCI Term Pools to determine whether actual cash flows are substantially the same as was expected at the time the loans expected cash flows were last estimated. Differences in actual cash flows from that previously expected may result in a revision to the Company’s estimate for expected cash flows. If upon reevaluation of expected cash flows the Company determines that as a result of credit deterioration there will be less expected cash flows than previously estimated, an ALLL is established through a charge to the provision for loan losses and an impairment amount is recorded. Other changes in cash flows due to changes in interest rates, certain refinancing activities or prepayments are accounted for prospectively as an adjustment to the discount rate on the pool. If reevaluation of expected cash flows indicates there is a significant and probable increase over that previously expected, the Company would decrease any previously established ALLL, and record an adjustment to interest income through the change in the discount rate used to calculate the accretable yield.

The classification and disclosures are at pool levels regardless of the underlying individual loan performance because at acquisition PCI Term Pools were written down to an amount estimated to be collectible and aggregated into pool levels. PCI Term Pools are not reported as nonaccrual, impaired or troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) even though some of the underlying loans may be contractually past due, on nonaccrual, impaired or TDRs, as the pool is evaluated as a single unit of account. If the Company determines it can no longer reasonably estimate future cash flows for a PCI Term Pool, the Company would cease accretion on such pools.

PCI Revolving Pools

As mentioned above, acquired loans with revolving features are excluded from ASC 310-30. The accounting for purchase discounts on pooled revolving lines of credit is determined in accordance with ASC 310-20. PCI Revolving Pools were recorded at fair value at the Transaction Date, similar to PCI Term Pools, based on expected cash flows, which included estimated losses inherent in those pools at the Transaction Date. A new carrying amount was established for PCI Revolving Pools based on their fair value, which represents its net realizable value. The difference between the carrying value and the net realizable value is the purchase discount.

Cash flows associated with the PCI Revolving Pools determine the amount of purchase discount that is to be accreted based on when the net realizable value exceeds the net carrying amount. Therefore, the Company only records interest income on these pools based at the contractual rate of the underlying loans, to the extent considered collectible. Management periodically reassesses the net realizable value of each PCI Revolving Pool and records interest income relating to the purchase discount in accordance with ASC 310-20. Such amounts are recognized in income using the effective interest method over the period the revolving line of credit is active, assuming that borrowings are outstanding for the maximum term provided in the loan contract. In the event that credit losses inherent in the portfolio are higher than expectations, the Company records an ALLL to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the amounts expected to be collected.

Unlike PCI Term Pools, accounting guidance requires that disclosures be made on the underlying loans in PCI Revolving Pools even though such loans were recorded at fair value on the Transaction Date. As a result, the underlying loans in PCI Revolving Pools are reported as contractually delinquent, nonaccrual, impaired, or TDRs to the extent applicable.

Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses

Credit risk is inherent in the business of extending loans and leases to borrowers and this risk is addressed through a valuation allowance. The ALLL represents a creditor’s estimate of loan losses inherent within the loan portfolio at each balance sheet date and is netted against the outstanding loan balance. The ALLL reduces the carrying amount to the creditor’s estimate of what will be collected from borrowers. The ALLL is established through charges to current period earnings by recording a provision for loan losses. When losses become specifically identifiable and quantifiable, the loan balance is reduced through recording a charge-off against the ALLL. Should payments be received on charged-off loans, the payment is credited to the ALLL as a recovery.

Loan charge-offs are generally processed by policy and regulatory guidance. Secured consumer loans, including residential real estate loans, that are 120 days past due are written down to the fair value of the collateral. Unsecured consumer loans are charged-off once the loan is 120 days past due. Decisions on when to charge-off commercial loans and loans secured by commercial real estate are made on an individual basis rather than length of delinquency, though it is a factor in the decision. The financial resources of the borrower and/or guarantor and the nature and value of any collateral are other factors considered such as if the loan is for business purposes or to a consumer.

The purchase accounting guidance for business combinations significantly impacted the Company’s ALLL as of the Transaction Date. The revaluation of assets required by this accounting guidance resulted in all loans being reported at their fair value as of the Transaction Date. The fair value is presumed to take into account the contractual payments on loans that are not expected to be received, and consequently no ALLL was carried over for the Company’s loans as of the Transaction Date. In accordance with purchase accounting guidance, charge-offs and recoveries related to loans within PCI Term Pools and PCI Revolving Pools are not to be recorded through the ALLL. Instead, charge-offs and recoveries related to PCI Loan Pools are recorded against the purchase accounting adjustment for loans in the PCI Term Pools, and against the purchase discount for loans within PCI Revolving Pools. ALLL is comprised of the Company’s estimate of losses inherent in loans originated or purchased since the Transaction Date; the differential between current expected cash flows and prior expected cash flows for PCI Term Pools when current expected cash flows are less than prior expected cash flows as a result of credit deterioration; and the amount of credit losses inherent in PCI Revolving Pools in excess of the net realizable value.

Credit risk grades are assigned to all loans for the overall monitoring of credit risk within the loan portfolio. For PCI Loan Pools, the individual loans within each pool are assigned a credit grade but, then are aggregated to review the total credit risk of each pool which are then monitored by Management for each loan pool and monitoring of expected cash flows. For loans originated or purchased since the Transaction Date, credit risk grades are monitored by Management on a loan by loan basis.

Portfolio Segments

When the Company’s credit administration department reviews and updates credit risk rating for loans, there are two main groups or portfolio segments: Commercial Loans and Consumer Loans. The risk characteristics and approaches to reviewing credit risk for each portfolio segment are described in the following paragraphs.

Commercial Loans

Commercial loans consist of multifamily loans, commercial real estate loans, construction loans, and commercial lines of credit. Such loans are made primarily to borrowers to provide financing for the acquisition of or development of commercial properties, including the construction of single family, multifamily, and multi-unit commercial properties. Commercial loans are subject to underwriting standards and processes specific to the risks related to each credit, including but not limited to: geographic location of the project, and/or operations of the borrower, financial condition of the borrower and/or guarantor(s), debt service coverage analyses, and knowledge of local economic conditions. Risks associated with commercial loans are largely related to general economic conditions, changes in, and sustainability of cash flows for the underlying business servicing the obligation, declines in collateral values for collateral dependent loans, and in the case of certain construction loans, the ability of the borrower to obtain longer-term financing. The Company mitigates and monitors risk associated with such loans through its internal review and risk grading process, making loans to in-market borrowers, controlling loan structure, and monitoring the financial conditions of the underlying businesses/borrowers.

Credit risk grades for large problem loans in the commercial loan portfolio are reviewed quarterly, at a minimum. A credit risk grade for a commercial loan is assessed and will generally require a credit risk grade change when the following events occur:

 

  ¡  

New credit requests;

 

  ¡  

Loan renewals;

 

  ¡  

Review of borrower financial statements or non-receipt of borrower financial statements when requested;

 

  ¡  

Appearance on delinquency reports;

 

  ¡  

Outside credit inquires;

 

  ¡  

Identified facts demonstrate change in risk of nonpayment;

Consumer Loans

Consumer loans consist largely of residential and revolving 1 to 4 family loans, and consumer installment loans. The majority of the consumer portfolio is comprised of financing for single family dwellings, which are predominately owner-occupied. Such loans are typically made based on the borrower’s financial condition, credit scores, debt-to-income ratios, and the type, location, and value of the underlying collateral. Risks associated with such loans are primarily related to general economic conditions, including the level of unemployment, and declines in the value of the underlying collateral. Consumer loans made for purposes other than for the financing of residential real estate are typically secured and unsecured shorter term loans made to borrowers for various purposes, including automobile and recreational vehicle purchases, and personal liquidity needs. The Company primarily makes such loans to in-market borrowers, and bases lending decisions on factors related to the financial condition of the borrower. Risks associated with these loans are mitigated in part by the smaller amount of the individual loans spread across many borrowers.

A credit risk grade in the consumer loan portfolio is assessed and will generally require a grade change when the following events occur:

 

  ¡  

New credit requests;

 

  ¡  

Deterioration of credit score;

 

  ¡  

Loan renewals;

 

  ¡  

Appearance on delinquency reports;

 

  ¡  

Identified facts demonstrate change risk of nonpayment;

 

  ¡  

Historical payment experience; and/or

 

  ¡  

Contact with borrower provides new credit information.

The change in a borrower’s credit risk grade is not limited to this list. Quarterly, the Company’s credit administration department obtains a credit score refreshment report which assesses consumer loan borrowers’ credit scores to identify borrowers who could have a deterioration of credit score which would trigger a credit risk grade change. Once a credit risk grade is assessed for a loan, its classification is determined based on the expectation of repayment. Nonclassified loans generally include those loans that are expected to be repaid in accordance with contractual loan terms. Classified loans are those loans that are classified as substandard or doubtful consistent with regulatory guidelines as described below.

Loans Classified as Substandard

A substandard loan is a loan which is inadequately protected by a current sound worth and paying capacity of the borrower or the collateral pledged, if any. The extension of credit has a well-defined weakness and/or the Company identifies a distinct possibility that a loss will be incurred if the deficiency identified is not corrected. When a loan is classified as substandard it does not necessarily imply there is a loss exposure in a specific loan, but a loss potential does exist.

Loans Classified as Doubtful

Loans classified as doubtful have all of the weaknesses inherent in a loan classified as substandard with an added characteristic that the weaknesses make the collection or liquidation, in full, highly questionable and improbable, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values.

ALLL Model Methodology

After reviewing the credit risk ratings in the loan portfolio, the second step is to develop an estimate of the loss inherent in individual loans or groups of similar loans. The estimation of probable losses takes into consideration the loan credit risk ratings and other factors such as:

 

  ¡  

Loan balances;

 

  ¡  

Loan pool segmentation;

 

  ¡  

Historical loss analysis;

 

  ¡  

Identification, review, and valuation of impaired loans;

 

  ¡  

Changes in the economy impacting lending activities;

 

  ¡  

Changes in the concentrations of various loan types;

 

  ¡  

Changes in the growth rate or volume of lending activities;

 

  ¡  

Changes in the trends for delinquent and problem loans;

 

  ¡  

Changes in the control environment or procedures;

 

  ¡  

Changes in the management and staffing effectiveness;

 

  ¡  

Changes in the loan review effectiveness;

 

  ¡  

Changes in the underlying collateral values of loans;

 

  ¡  

Changes in the competition/regulatory/legal issues; and

 

  ¡  

Unanticipated events.

NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – CONTINUED

 

The amount of the allowance recorded at the end of the prior reporting period is then compared with the new estimate of inherent loss. If additional allowance is required to cover the revised estimate, the additional amount is provided through a charge to provision for loan losses. If the recorded allowance is higher than the revised estimate, the allowance is reduced by a negative provision for loan losses.

When reviewing cash flows for PCI Loan Pools, Management makes a determination whether the estimate of expected cash flows from these loans needs revision. This determination is based on actual cash flows received, general market conditions, and any information available about borrowers and their financial condition that would lead Management to conclude that expected cash flows will be substantially different from what was previously estimated. Of the factors noted above for PCI Loan Pools, those that relate specifically to the borrower, to the economy, and to credit deterioration seen for similar borrowers or similar businesses or industries will be most relevant.

As is indicated in the section above for PCI Loan Pools, the Company aggregated all of these loans into pools with similar risk characteristics that became the individual units of accounting. The estimates of expected cash flows are therefore calculated at the pool level. An unfavorable change in the estimate of expected cash flows due to credit may require the recognition of impairment by establishing an ALLL on a pool by pool basis. A favorable change in the estimate of expected cash flows would result in reversing any previously established allowance due to an unfavorable change, but no negative allowance is recorded if the favorable change exceeds any previously recorded allowance. The excess expected cash flows are accreted into income over the remaining estimated terms of the loans in the pool. Additional information on the ALLL is provided in Note 6, “Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses” of these Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Company considers both quantitative and qualitative factors when determining the level of estimated ALLL. Quantitative factors are based primarily on historical credit losses for each portfolio of similar loans over a time horizon or “look-back” period. The Company generally uses historical credit losses over the past six quarters as a basis for its quantitative factors. The look-back period has been the past six quarters since the second quarter of 2009, when Management shortened the timeframe to better capture current risk conditions. The shorter time frame, coupled with less reliance on qualitative factors, was determined to be more responsive to the increasing risk seen in economic conditions and rapidly deteriorating real estate collateral values over the last few years.

Qualitative factors are generally used to adjust historical loss rates based on the Company’s estimate of the losses inherent in the outstanding balance of the loan portfolio that are not fully captured by the quantitative factors alone. Qualitative factors taken into consideration in calculations of the ALLL include: concentrations of types of loans, loan growth, control environment, delinquency and classified loan trends, Management and staffing experience and turnover, economic conditions, results of independent loan review, underlying collateral values, competition, regulatory, legal issues, structured finance and syndicated national credits, and other factors. These qualitative factors are applied as adjustments to the historical loss rates when Management believes they are necessary to better reflect current conditions.

Nonaccrual Loans, Impaired Loans, and Restructures of Troubled Debt

As discussed above in the PCI Loan Pools section, the accounting for PCI loans has implications for classification and reporting disclosures of loans classified as nonaccrual, impaired, or TDRs. Because the Company’s loans were written down to fair value and pooled as of the Transaction Date, the carrying amount of these loans in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements is based upon amounts estimated to be collected. PCI Term Pools are not classified as nonaccrual, impaired or TDRs even though some of the underlying loans may be contractually past due, nonperforming, or restructured as TDRs. PCI Term Pools are accounted for and reported as a single unit of account, based on expectations for future cash flows, in accordance with ASC 310-30, and therefore the performance of the underlying loans within PCI Term Pools are not reported in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – CONTINUED

 

The reporting for PCI Revolving Pools differs from that of PCI Term Pools, because the accounting and reporting for such loans is not within the scope of ASC 310-30, and therefore the underlying loans are required to be reported and accounted for as delinquent, nonaccrual, impaired or TDR. Quarterly, PCI Loan Pools are assessed for the overall collectability of the expected cash flows on a pool by pool basis.

For all loans originated or purchased since the Transaction Date, when an individual borrower discontinues making payments as contractually required by the note, the Company must determine whether it is appropriate to continue to accrue interest. Generally, the Company places loans in a nonaccrual status and ceases recognizing interest income when the loan has become delinquent by 90 days or more and/or when Management determines that the repayment of principal and collection of interest is unlikely. The Company may decide that it is appropriate to continue to accrue interest on certain loans 90 days or more delinquent if they are well secured by collateral and collection is in process.

When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, any accrued but uncollected interest for the loan is reversed out of interest income in the period in which the status is changed. Subsequent payments received from the client are applied to principal and no further interest income is recognized until the principal has been paid in full or until circumstances have changed such that payments are again consistently received as contractually required. In the case of commercial clients, the pattern of payment must also be accompanied by a positive change in the financial condition of the borrower.

A loan is identified as impaired when it is probable that interest and principal will not be collected according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. However, there are some loans that are termed impaired because of doubt regarding collectability of interest and principal according to the contractual terms, which are both fully secured by collateral and are current in their interest and principal payments. Once a loan is identified as impaired, the amount of any impairment is determined based on the extent to which the Company’s recorded investment in the loan exceeds the loan’s estimated fair value. The Company determines an impaired loan’s fair value based on either the present value of the expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, or the fair value of the collateral securing the loan. When using the fair value of the collateral securing an impaired loan as the basis for measuring impairment, the Company takes into consideration estimated costs to sell the collateral when determining the loan’s fair value. A valuation allowance is established for an impaired loan through a charge to earnings when the fair value of the loan is less than the Company’s recorded investment in the loan. An impaired loan may be placed back on accrual if the loan is no longer considered to be impaired. For additional information in obtaining the fair value of a loan, refer to Note 2, “Fair Value of Financial Instruments” of these Consolidated Financial Statements.

A loan may be restructured when the Company determines that a borrower’s financial condition has deteriorated, but still has the ability to repay at least some portion of the loan. A loan is considered to be a TDR when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, and the original terms have been modified in favor of the borrower such that either principal or interest has been forgiven, contractual payments are deferred, or the interest rate is reduced (i.e. a concession in accordance with ASU 2011-02, Receivables (Topic 310): A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring Is a Troubled Debt Restructuring). A loan may also be considered a TDR when the loan of a financially troubled borrower is renewed with the same terms as were offered when the borrower was not troubled, because it is normally expected that interest rates will be higher to cover the increased credit risk from a troubled borrower. Generally, when a loan is identified as a TDR, the loan is also disclosed as an impaired loan.

Additional information regarding loans classified nonaccrual, impaired, and TDR is disclosed in Note 6, “Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses” of these Consolidated Financial Statements.

Premises and Equipment

Premises and equipment are reported at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is expensed over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The Company depreciates assets utilizing straight line depreciation. The estimated useful lives of premises and equipment are as follows:

 

Buildings

     40 years   

Building improvements

     3 – 40 years   

Furniture and equipment

     5 – 7 years   

Electronic equipment and software

     3 – 10 years   

Leasehold improvements are amortized over the terms of the leases or the estimated useful lives of the improvements, whichever is shorter. Management annually reviews premises and equipment in order to determine if facts and circumstances suggest that the value of an asset is not recoverable.

Leases

The Company leases a majority of its branches and support offices. Most of these leases are operating leases for which a monthly rental expense is recognized. However, when the terms of the lease are such that the Company is leasing the building for most of its useful economic life or the present value of the sum of lease payments represents most of the fair value of the building, the transaction is accounted for as a capital lease. In a capital lease, the building is recognized as an asset of the Company and the net present value of the contracted lease payments is recognized as a long term liability. The long term liability recognized as part of a capital lease is accounted for using the interest method, and is included in other borrowings of the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company’s capital leases were recorded at fair value in conjunction with the Investment Transaction. The amortization charge relating to assets recorded under capital leases is included with depreciation expense.

Some of the Company’s leases have cost-of-living adjustments based on the consumer price index. Some of the leases have fixed increases provided for in the terms or increases based on the index but have a minimum increase irrespective of the change in index. In these cases, the total fixed or minimum lease expense is recognized on a straight line basis over the term of the lease. As part of the purchase accounting due to the Investment Transaction, the Company evaluated all of its leases. A liability was recorded as of the Transaction Date because the contractual operating lease payments were above the current market rates for several leased properties in aggregate. The contractual obligations for operating and capital leases are disclosed in Note 11, “Commitments and Contingencies” of these Consolidated Financial Statements.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Intangible assets are generally acquired through an acquisition with the exception of the mortgage serving rights. If the benefit of the intangible asset is obtained through contractual or other legal rights, or if the intangible asset can be sold, transferred, licensed, rented, or exchanged, regardless of the acquirer’s intent to do so, the acquired intangible asset will be a separately recognized asset. Such intangible assets are subject to amortization over their useful lives unless they have an indefinite life. Among these identifiable intangible assets are core deposit intangibles (“CDI”), customer relationship intangibles (“CRI”), non-compete intangibles, and trade name intangibles. The Company amortizes CDI and CRI over their estimated useful lives.

NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – CONTINUED

 

Any excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the assets received and liabilities assumed is an unidentifiable intangible asset and is recorded as goodwill. Goodwill must be reviewed for impairment when there is evidence to suggest that the estimated fair value of the net assets is lower than the carrying value, or at a minimum of once a year. This evidence may be in the form of a triggering event or a series of events or developments.

Testing goodwill for impairment consists of a two-part test to determine the fair value of goodwill. In Step 1, the fair value of the reporting unit is determined and compared to its carrying value including goodwill. If the fair value of the reporting unit is more than its carrying value, goodwill is not impaired. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, the company must proceed with Step 2. In Step 2, the implied fair value of goodwill is estimated. The implied fair value of goodwill is the excess of fair value of the reporting unit over the fair values of the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit as they would be determined in an acquisition. If the carrying amount of the goodwill is more than its implied fair value, it is impaired and an impairment charge must be recognized.

All of the goodwill recognized in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements, as of September 30, 2012, is the result of the purchase accounting for the Investment Transaction. Additional information regarding goodwill and the computation of goodwill at September 30, 2012, is disclosed in Note 7, “Goodwill and Intangible Assets” of these Consolidated Financial Statements.

Included in goodwill and other intangible assets are mortgage and other loan servicing rights associated with the sale of loans for which the servicing of the loan is retained. The Company receives a fee for servicing these loans. The right to receive this fee for performing servicing is of value to the Company and could be sold should the Company choose to do so. Companies engaged in selling loans and retaining servicing rights for a fee are required to recognize servicing rights as an asset or liability. The rights are recorded at the net present value of the fees that will be collected, less estimated servicing costs, which approximates the fair value. Loan servicing rights are amortized into noninterest income in proportion to, and over the period of, estimated future net servicing income. Estimates of the lives of the loans are based on several industry standard sources and take into consideration prepayment rates expected in the current market interest rate environment.

Each quarter Management evaluates servicing rights for impairment. Impairment occurs when the fair value of loan servicing rights is less than amortized cost. The rates at which consumers prepay their loans are impacted by changes in interest rates—prepayments generally increase as interest rates fall, and generally decrease as interest rates rise so the value of the servicing right changes with changes in interest rates. When prepayments increase, the Company will collect less servicing fees, and the value of the servicing rights declines. A valuation of the servicing assets is performed at each reporting period and reductions to the servicing assets’ carrying values are made when the carrying balance is higher than the fair value of the servicing asset, utilizing the lower of cost or fair value valuation methodology.

Bank Owned Life Insurance

Bank owned life insurance (“BOLI”) involves the purchase of life insurance by the Company on a chosen group of employees. The Company is the owner and beneficiary of the policies. This life insurance investment is carried as an asset at the cash surrender value of the underlying policies. In cases where the Company is a joint beneficiary of the policies, the Company has recorded a liability for the portion of the cash surrender value owned by the other party. Income from the increase in cash surrender value of the policies is reflected in noninterest income. The cash surrender value approximates fair value.

Other Real Estate Owned

Real estate acquired through foreclosure on a loan or by the surrender of real estate in lieu of foreclosure is referred to as other real estate owned (“OREO”). When real estate is foreclosed on, the collateral is transferred to OREO at estimated fair value less costs to sell with exception to PCI loans. PCI loans are transferred at carrying value except when the carrying value exceeds the fair value. If the outstanding balance of the loan or carrying balance for a PCI loan is greater than the fair value of the OREO at the time of foreclosure, the excess of the loan balance over the fair value is charged-off against the ALLL or PCI Loan Pool’s valuation adjustment before recording the asset as an OREO. OREO is maintained in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements at the lower of its carrying value or fair value of the OREO, less estimated costs to sell. OREO is recorded as other assets within the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Once the collateral is foreclosed on and the property becomes an OREO, Management periodically obtains appraisals to determine if further valuation adjustments are required. Valuation adjustments are also required when the listing price to sell an OREO has had to be reduced below the current carrying value. If there is a decrease in the fair value of the property from the last valuation, the decrease in value is charged against noninterest income. During the time the property is held, all related operating and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Increases in the values of properties are not recognized until sale. All income produced from OREO, such as from renting the property, is included in noninterest income.

Securities Sold Under Agreement to Repurchase

The Company enters into repurchase agreements whereby it sells securities or loans to another institution and agrees to repurchase them at a later date for an amount in excess of the sale price. While in form these are agreements to sell and repurchase, in substance they are secured borrowings in which the excess of the repurchase price over the sale price represents interest expense. This expense is accrued over the term of the borrowing. For security or collateral, the Company must pledge assets with a higher fair value than the amount borrowed. Information about the amounts held and the interest rates may be found in Note 14, “Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase and Federal Funds Purchased” of the 2011 Form 10-K’s Consolidated Financial Statements. There was a purchase accounting premium recorded as a result of the Investment Transaction for the repurchase agreements based on current market rates for similar instruments.

Other Borrowings

Management utilizes a variety of sources to raise borrowed funds at competitive rates, including FHLB borrowings and subordinated debt. FHLB borrowings typically carry rates approximating the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) for the equivalent term because they are secured with investments or high quality loans. Interest is accrued on a monthly basis, based on the outstanding borrowing’s interest rate, and is included in interest expense.

In past periods, a majority of the long term and short term debt of the Company were advances with the FHLB. Long term funding through the FHLB is collateralized by pledging qualifying loans and/or securities. Virtually all of the FHLB advances were repaid by the Company in early September 2010 from the proceeds received in the Investment Transaction and deposits maintained at the Reserve Bank. Purchase accounting adjustments were made based on current market rates for similar instruments. Refer to Note 10, “Other Borrowings” of these Consolidated Financial Statements for the current period activity within other borrowings.

Reserve for Off-Balance Sheet Commitments

The Company has exposure to losses from unfunded loan commitments and letters of credit. Since the funds have not been disbursed on these commitments, they are not reported as loans outstanding. Estimated losses related to these commitments are not included in the ALLL reported in Note 6, “Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses” of these Consolidated Financial Statements. Instead, they are accounted for as a separate loss contingency or reserve as a liability within other liabilities on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets also referred to as a “Reserve for Off-Balance Sheet Commitments.” Losses are experienced when the Company is contractually obligated to make a payment under these instruments and must seek repayment from a party that may not be as financially sound in the current period as it was when the commitment was originally made.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – CONTINUED

 

NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – CONTINUED

 

The reserve for off-balance sheet commitments originated after the Transaction Date applies the same historical loss rates and qualitative factors used in the calculation for ALLL to the off-balance sheet obligations in determining an estimate of losses inherent in these contractual obligations. For off-balance sheet commitments made prior to the Investment Transaction, a different model is utilized. This model assesses the unfunded commitments for the same group of loans at the Transaction Date at the end of each quarter and applies an estimated funding factor and probability of default for the remaining unfunded commitments to estimate the required reserve. To the extent that the credit exposure has increased, additional reserve for off-balance sheet commitments will increase and to the extent the credit exposure has decreased, the off-balance sheet reserve will decrease.

The estimate of reserves for off-balance sheet commitments is included as a contingent liability under the provisions of ASC 450, Loss Contingencies and is reported within other liabilities and is adjusted for changes in the estimated reserve requirement by an adjustment to noninterest expense. Additional disclosure regarding the Company’s reserve for off-balance sheet commitments is located in Note 4, “Loans” of these Consolidated Financial Statements.

Derivative Financial Instruments

GAAP requires that all derivatives be recorded at their fair value on the balance sheet. Certain derivative transactions that meet specified criteria qualify for hedge accounting under GAAP. The Company does not hold any derivatives that meet the criteria for hedge accounting. Gains or losses associated with changes in fair value of derivative instruments are immediately recognized in noninterest income.

Trust Assets and Investment and Advisory Fees

The Company has a trust department and two registered investment advisory subsidiaries, MCM and REWA, each of which have fiduciary responsibility for the assets that they manage on behalf of clients. These assets are not owned by the Company and are not reflected in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Fees for most trust services are based on the market value of client assets, and the fees are accrued monthly. All of the activity for the trust department and investment and advisory services are reported in the Wealth Management segment.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company grants nonqualified stock options, restricted stock, performance stock options and performance restricted stock to directors and employees as a form of compensation. All stock-based compensation is accounted for in accordance with GAAP which requires compensation expense for the issuance of stock-based compensation be recognized over the vesting period of the share-based award or when it is probable that the performance stock grants performance measures will be met.

The amount of compensation expense to be recognized for options is based on the fair value of the stock options, utilizing the Black-Scholes-Merton technique, at the date of the grant. The Black-Scholes-Merton technique is used to value the stock options since this model provides the most appropriate stock option valuation in the opinion of Management. The fair value for the options is estimated based on the length of their term, the volatility of the stock price in past periods, and other factors. The expected term is calculated using the simplified method. The simplified method is used because historical stock option exercise data does not provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate the expected term. Expected volatility is based on historical volatility of the Company’s stock price. Details regarding the accounting for stock-based compensation expense are disclosed in Note 18, “Shareholders’ Equity” of the Company’s 2011 Form 10-K’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – CONTINUED

 

A valuation model is not used for pricing restricted stock because the value is based on the closing price of the Company’s stock on the grant date. The total value of the restricted stock is the number of shares granted multiplied by the stock price.

The amount of compensation expense to be recognized for performance stock grants is based on the probability of meeting specific performance goals. These estimates are reassessed at each reporting period, and if the probability has changed, the amount of expense is adjusted based on the most recent assessment of probability.

Income Taxes

The Company uses the asset and liability method, which recognizes a liability or asset representing the tax effects of future deductible or taxable amounts attributable to events that have been recognized in these Consolidated Financial Statements. Due to tax regulations, several items of income and expense are recognized in different periods for tax return purposes than for financial reporting purposes. These items represent “temporary differences.” The Company is required to provide in its Consolidated Financial Statements for the eventual liability or deduction in its tax return for these temporary differences until the item of income or expense has been recognized for both financial reporting and for taxes. The provision is recorded in the form of deferred tax expense or benefit as the temporary differences arise, with the accumulated amount recognized as a deferred tax liability or asset. Deferred tax assets represent future deductions in the Company’s income tax return, while deferred tax liabilities represent future payments to tax authorities. In August 2011, in connection with the Investment Transaction, the Company recorded a deferred tax liability of $5.2 million related to an indefinite life trade name intangible. This related deferred tax liability will remain on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements as long as the SBB&T trade name intangible exists.

When realization of the benefit of a deferred tax asset is uncertain, the Company is required to recognize a valuation allowance. A full valuation allowance was recorded by the Company in 2009. Management assesses the realizability of its deferred tax asset each quarter. The realization of the Company’s deferred tax asset is subject to considerable judgment and could occur as a single event or over a period of time, depending upon the level of forecasted taxable income, the degree of risk related to realizing the forecasted taxable income, and the estimated risk related to credit quality.

Earnings Per Share

The computation of basic earnings per share for all periods presented in the Consolidated Statements of Income is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each period retroactively adjusted for the reverse stock split effective December 28, 2010. Diluted earnings per share include the effect of common stock equivalents for the Company, which consist of shares issuable on the exercise of outstanding options and restricted stock awards and common stock warrants.

The number of options assumed to be exercised is computed using the “treasury stock method.” This method assumes that all options with an exercise price lower than the average stock price for the period have been exercised at the average market price for the period and that the proceeds from the assumed exercise have been used for market repurchases of shares at the average market price. Normally, the Company would receive a tax benefit for the difference between the market price and the exercise price of nonqualified options when options are exercised. The treasury stock method also assumes that the tax benefit from the assumed exercise of options is used to retire shares thereby lowering the number of shares assumed to be exercised. Options that have an exercise price higher than the average market price are excluded from the computation because they are anti-dilutive. When the Company’s net income available to common shareholders is in a loss position, the diluted earnings per share calculation utilizes only the average shares outstanding, because assuming the exercise of stock options or warrants would lower the loss per share. Once stock options are exercised, restricted stock vests, or once a performance measurement has been met, the shares are included in the actual weighted average shares outstanding rather than as common stock equivalents.

Statement of Cash Flows

For purposes of reporting cash flows, “cash and cash equivalents” includes cash and due from banks, Federal funds sold, and securities purchased under agreements to resell. Federal funds sold and securities purchased under agreements to resell are one-day transactions, with the Company’s funds being returned to it the next business day.

Segments

GAAP requires that the Company disclose certain information related to the performance of various segments of its business. Segments are defined based on how the chief operating decision maker of the Company views the Company’s operations. Management has determined that the Company has two reportable operating segments: (1) Commercial & Community Banking and (2) Wealth Management. The All Other segment is not considered an operating segment, but includes all corporate administrative support departments such as human resources, legal, finance and accounting, treasury, information technology, internal audit, risk management, facilities management, marketing, and the Bank’s holding company. The factors used in determining these reportable segments are explained in Note 15, “Segments” of these Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

NOTE 2. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The accounting guidance for fair value establishes a framework for measuring fair value and establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurement. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. The three levels are defined as follows:

 

Level 1:

  

Observable quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

Level 2:

  

Observable quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities 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:

  

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.

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The assets and liabilities which are fair valued on a recurring basis are described below and contained in the following tables. In addition, the Company may be required to record other assets and liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These nonrecurring fair value adjustments involve the lower of carrying value or fair value accounting and write downs resulting from impairment of assets. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments that are recorded in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements at fair value on a recurring and nonrecurring basis.

NOTE 2. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS – CONTINUED

 

Investment Securities - AFS

Investment securities are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Where quoted prices are available in an active market for identical assets, securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy such as United States Department of the Treasury (“U.S. Treasury”) securities. All of the Company’s securities are reported as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Investment securities are fair valued by an independent third party that obtains observable market prices for similar assets or by obtaining quoted market prices that are not in an active market or in pricing models which have inputs that are observable in the market to obtain the fair value. When observable market information is not available for securities or there is limited activity or less transparency around inputs, such securities would be classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. The Company does not have any securities within the Level 1 or Level 3 hierarchy.

Derivatives

The Company’s swap derivatives are not listed on an exchange and are instead executed over the counter (“OTC”). As no quoted market prices exist for such instruments, the Company values these OTC derivatives primarily based on third party broker pricing indications and valuation techniques that use readily observable market parameters. As a result, the swap values are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

As discussed in Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” of these Consolidated Financial Statements, prior to the funding of a mortgage loan, the Company may provide an interest rate lock commitment and mandatory delivery contracts for mortgage loans originated for sale that qualify as derivatives under GAAP. The value of the interest rate lock commitments is based on the change in interest rates between the date the interest rate lock commitment is executed and the date the loan is funded. The interest rates used to fair value these derivatives are from similar assets in observable markets. The value of the mandatory delivery contract is calculated by comparing the price on the contract accepted date to the price on the actual sale date on similar assets that are currently being sold. As a result, these derivatives are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Foreclosed Collateral

Foreclosed collateral is carried at book or fair value less estimated cost to sell. Fair value is determined by the lower of suggested market prices obtained from independent certified appraisers, the current listing price, or the net present value of expected cash flows of the asset received. When the fair value of the collateral is based on a current appraised value or the appraised value, the asset is classified as nonrecurring Level 2. When a net present value technique using the cash flows of the asset received is used, the asset is classified as nonrecurring Level 3.

Mortgage and Other Loan Servicing Rights

Servicing rights are carried at the lower of aggregate cost or estimated fair value. Servicing rights are subject to quarterly impairment testing. When the fair value of the servicing rights is lower than their carrying value, impairment is recorded by establishing or increasing the amount of a valuation allowance so that the net carrying amount is equal to the fair value. The Company uses independent third parties to value the servicing rights. The valuation model takes into consideration discounted cash flows using current interest rates and prepayment speeds for each type of the underlying asset being serviced. The Company uses discounted cash flows to obtain the fair value for servicing rights and therefore servicing rights are classified as nonrecurring Level 3. Significant changes in any of the assumption inputs within the valuation model such as prepayment speeds, internal rates of return, and estimated inflation rates could result in a significantly different fair value measurement. Generally, as interest rates decrease, prepayment speeds increase resulting in a lower fair value. Contrarily, as interest rates increase, prepayment speeds decrease resulting in a higher fair value.

A summary of the valuation methodology used to disclose the fair value of the financial instruments in the table above is as follows:

Cash and Due from Banks and Interest Bearing Demand Deposits in Other Financial Institutions

The carrying values of cash and interest bearing demand deposits in other financial institutions represent the fair value. The Company classifies cash and interest bearing demand deposits in other financial institutions within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Loans Held for Investment, net

The carrying value of the loans held for investment at September 30, 2012, and December 31, 2011, was significantly impacted by the write down to fair value at the Transaction Date due to the application of purchase accounting related to the Investment Transaction. At the Transaction Date, the loans purchased were at fair value based on the contractual cash flows expected to be collected. The fair value presented above is calculated based on the present value of expected principal and interest cash flows. The carrying value of the loans is net of the ALLL which represents Management’s evaluation of expected credit losses inherent in those loan portfolios. These methods are based on the entrance price concept versus the exit price concept described in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements.

NOTE 2. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS – CONTINUED

 

The methods used to estimate the fair value of loans are sensitive to the assumptions and estimates used. While Management has attempted to use assumptions and estimates that best reflect the Company’s loan portfolio and current market conditions, a greater degree of subjectivity is inherent in these values than in those determined in active markets. Accordingly, readers are cautioned in using this information for purposes of evaluating the financial condition and/or value of the Company in and of itself or in comparison with any other company and amounts presented may not be realized in a current sale between willing buyers and willing sellers. The Company classifies these loans within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Deposits (excluding Certificates of Deposit)

The fair value of demand deposits, money market accounts, and savings accounts is the amount payable on demand at September 30, 2012, and December 31, 2011. The Company classifies these deposits in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Certificates of Deposit

The fair value of fixed-maturity CDs is estimated by discounting the interest and principal payments using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities. The Company classifies these deposits in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Other Borrowings

The fair value of trust preferred securities is estimated by using discounted cash flow model which uses the interest and principal payments using current market rates for comparable debt. Accordingly, other borrowings are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase

The fair value of repurchase agreements is determined by reference to rates in the wholesale repurchase market. The rates paid to the Company’s clients are slightly lower than rates in the wholesale market and, consequently, the fair value will generally be less than the carrying amount. The fair value of the long term repurchase agreements is determined in the same manner as other borrowings above. Therefore, repurchase agreements are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Disclosed Fair Value of Financial Instruments is not Equivalent to Franchise Value

The financial instruments disclosed in this note include such items as securities, loans, deposits, debt, and other instruments. Disclosure of fair values is not required for certain assets and liabilities that are not financial instruments such as premises and equipment, prepaid expenses, and income tax assets and liabilities. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value of amounts presented in this note does not purport to represent, and should not be considered representative of, the underlying “market” or franchise value of the Company. Further, due to a variety of alternative valuation techniques and approaches permitted by the fair value measurement accounting standards as well as the significant assumptions that are required to be made in the process of valuation, the determinations or estimations of fair value for many of the financial instruments disclosed in this note could and do differ between various market participants. A direct comparison of the Company’s fair value information with that of other financial institutions may not be appropriate.

Available for Sale Securities

At September 30, 2012, and December 31, 2011, the Company held $1.24 billion and $1.50 billion, respectively, of securities in its AFS portfolio. Unrealized gains or losses relating to AFS securities are accounted for by adjusting the carrying amount of the securities. An offsetting entry after the adjustment for taxes at the Company’s corporate effective tax rate, when applicable, is recognized in AOCI.

Fair values are obtained from independent sources based on current market prices for the specific security held by the Company or for a security with similar characteristics. If a security is in an unrealized loss position, Management is required to determine whether or not the security is temporarily or permanently impaired.

The following tables show all AFS securities that are in an unrealized loss position, and temporarily impaired, as of September 30, 2012, and December 31, 2011:

As of September 30, 2012, and December 31, 2011, 65 and 142 AFS securities were in a loss position, respectively. The $1.3 million and $4.5 million of unrealized losses for the AFS portfolio as of September 30, 2012, and December 31, 2011, respectively, are primarily a result of changes in market interest rates. The fair value is based on current market prices obtained from independent sources for each security held. At September 30, 2012, the issuers of these securities have not, to the Company’s knowledge, established any cause for default on these securities and the most recent credit ratings on all securities have an investment grade rating. At September 30, 2012, the Company holds no securities with a credit rating below investment grade. At September 30, 2012, Management does not intend to sell any of the securities in a loss position nor are there any conditions present at September 30, 2012, that would require Management to sell them. As such, Management does not believe that there are any securities that are OTTI as of September 30, 2012.

Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers or issuers have the right to call or prepay investment securities. Changes in interest rates may also impact borrowers or issuers of investment securities and cause them to prepay investment securities earlier than the contractual term.

Investment in FHLB and Reserve Bank Stock

The Company’s investment in stock of the FHLB was $46.6 million and $54.3 million at September 30, 2012, and December 31, 2011, respectively. As with other investment securities, the investment in FHLB stock is periodically evaluated for impairment based on, among other things, the capital adequacy of the FHLB and its overall financial condition. Based on the current capital adequacy, liquidity position and recent credit ratings of the FHLB, Management believes there is no impairment in the Company’s investment at September 30, 2012, and that the cost of the investment approximates fair value. The Company’s investment in stock of the Reserve Bank was $18.8 million at September 30, 2012, and December 31, 2011. The investments of FHLB and Reserve Bank stock are included in FHLB stock and other investments on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company purchased $81.2 million and $227.2 million of loans, respectively. Loans purchased during the three months ended September 30, 2012, were residential real estate 1 to 4 family loans. Loan purchases for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, were residential real estate 1 to 4 family and multifamily loans.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company purchased loans of $19.4 million, and $224.8 million, respectively. These loans consisted of residential real estate 1 to 4 family loans, multifamily and commercial real estate loans.

All loans purchased during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, and 2011, were performing loans at the time of purchase, and are not considered credit impaired. The determination to not classify loans purchased at a discount as purchased credit impaired was based on due diligence performed prior to their purchase. When reviewing and selecting loans for purchase, the Company required that the loans have no delinquencies during the previous 36 months, i.e., all contractual payments had been made on time. In addition, a majority of the loans purchased were seasoned loans which were originated prior to 2005. All these loans were assigned an internal credit risk grade of “Pass” at the date of purchase.

The amounts pledged do not represent the amount of outstanding borrowings that are required to be supported by collateral. The Company maintains an excess of collateral at these institutions so that it may borrow without having to first transfer collateral to them.

Standby letters of credit and financial guarantees are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a client to a third party in borrowing arrangements. At September 30, 2012, the maximum undiscounted future payments that the Company could be required to make were $488.1 million. Approximately 33.9% of these arrangements mature within one year. The Company generally has recourse to recover from the client any amounts paid under these guarantees. Most of the guarantees are fully collateralized by the same types of assets used as loan collateral, however several are unsecured.

The Company anticipates that a majority of the above commitments will not be fully drawn on by clients. Consumers do not tend to borrow the maximum amounts available under their home equity lines and businesses typically arrange for credit lines in excess of their expected needs to handle contingencies. A majority of the lines of credit are adjustable rate commitments that are tied to an interest rate index. If a rate is fixed on a line of credit, the commitments are not usually for more than three months.

The reserve for the unfunded loan commitments and letters of credit was $12.9 million and $16.2 million at September 30, 2012, and December 31, 2011, respectively. The reserve for unfunded loan commitments declined during 2012, primarily due to the expiration of commitments. Refer to Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of these Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the accounting for unfunded commitments and letters of credit.

Related Parties

In the ordinary course of business, the Company has extended credit to directors and executive officers of the Company. These extensions of credit were made on the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable loans with persons not related to the Company. These related party loans totaled $1.9 million at September 30, 2012, and December 31, 2011. At September 30, 2012, the maturities of the related party loans were approximately 26 years, and were made to senior officers of the Company. Such loans are subject to ratification by the Board of Directors, exclusive of the borrowing director or officer. Federal banking regulations require that any such extensions of credit not be offered on terms more favorable than would be offered to non-related party borrowers of similar credit worthiness.

 

 

NOTE 5. PURCHASED CREDIT IMPAIRED POOLS

As discussed in Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of these Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company has classified all of the loans acquired on the Transaction Date as PCI loans, and grouped those loans into pools, with each pool containing loans that possess similar risk characteristics. PCI loans that are revolving lines of credit are referred to as PCI Revolving Pools, while the remainder of the loans purchased are referred to as PCI Term Pools.

The ALLL at September 30, 2012, and December 31, 2011, relates to the Company’s estimate of credit losses inherent in loans originated or purchased since the Transaction Date, as well as estimates for losses in PCI Loan Pools to the extent that estimates for cash flows from those pools are below Management’s prior expectations. At September 30, 2012, and December 31, 2011, the majority of the ALLL relates to loans the Company originated or purchased since the Transaction Date. At September 30, 2012, and December 31, 2011, the portion of the ALLL that related to PCI Loan Pools was $215,000, and $867,000, respectively, and is attributed to one PCI Term Pool. At September 30, 2012, cash flows from all other PCI Loan Pools were within Management’s expectations, and no additional ALLL was required to be recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

NOTE 6. ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN AND LEASE LOSSES – CONTINUED

 

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, and 2011, charge-offs and recoveries related to overdrafts, and small consumer loans. Charge-offs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, primarily relate to a write down on one PCI Term Pool and overdrafts. Provision for loan and lease losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, and 2011, relate primarily to an increase in the balance of originated or purchased loans during those periods with lower historical loss rates, and better performance than expected in the PCI Loan Pools.

Nonperforming Loans

Nonperforming loans include nonaccrual loans, loans past due 90 days which are accruing interest, and TDRs. The reporting for nonperforming loans was significantly impacted by the Investment Transaction as described in Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” and Note 5, “Purchased Credit Impaired Pools” of these Consolidated Financial Statements, because all loans were recorded at their fair value at the Transaction Date, and the majority of the Company’s loans as of and since the Transaction Date are accounted for as PCI loans under ASC 310-30. At September 30, 2012, and December 31, 2011, all of the nonperforming loans reported in the table below are from the PCI Revolving Pools, or were originated or purchased since the Transaction Date.

The table below summarizes loans classified as nonperforming:

Loan credit risk grades and classifications of loans are reviewed and updated periodically. The credit risk grades for large classified loans are reviewed at a minimum on a quarterly basis as disclosed in Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of these Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Company uses internally assigned credit risk grades in monitoring the credit quality of the loan portfolio. Changes in credit risk grades serve as indications of potential problem loans, and improvement or worsening of existing problem loans, which assist the Company with the process of determining the ultimate collectability of the loan portfolio for loans originated or purchased since the Transaction Date, and assists with determining future cash flows for the PCI Loan Pools. Changes in balances of classified and nonclassified loans are factors that impact the required level of the ALLL for new and purchased loans since the Transaction Date under the Company’s periodic evaluation of the adequacy of the ALLL. Changes in classified and nonclassified loans are also considered by the Company in its periodic evaluation of cash flows from PCI Loan Pools, but do not necessarily indicate impairment or the need for an ALLL or a reversal of a previously established ALLL for PCI Loan Pools, as such loans are accounted for based on expected cash flows, as more fully described in Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” of these Consolidated Financial Statements. Changes in credit risk grades for PCI Loan Pools serve primarily as a basis for the Company to manage the underlying credit quality and collection efforts of loans within PCI Loan Pools, and for the establishment of assumptions used by the Company in estimating cash flows expected to be collected from these pools in future periods.

Aging of Past Due Loans

A majority of the loans held by the Company have been pooled into PCI Term Pools and none of the pools were considered past due at September 30, 2012, and December 31, 2011, when reporting on a pooled basis in accordance with ASC 310-30. The following tables provide the aging of past due loans on an individual loan basis at the net carrying amount at September 30, 2012, and December 31, 2011.

Impaired Loans

PCI Loan Pools are measured for impairment at the pool level, based on estimates for aggregate cash flows expected to be collected from each pool. At September 30, 2012, and December 31, 2011, all PCI Term Pools were considered performing. Impaired loans as of September 30, 2012, represent TDRs within the PCI Revolving Pools, as well as one nonaccruing commercial real estate loan and four small multifamily loans in the newly originated or purchased loans portfolio. At December 31, 2011, all impaired loans represented TDRs within the PCI Revolving Pools.

The following tables disaggregate the ALLL and the recorded investment in loans by impairment methodology at September 30, 2012, and December 31, 2011:

Loan modifications made during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, and 2011, that are reported as TDRs are attributed to reductions in interest rates, extension of terms, and reductions in periodic contractual payments for a specified period of time. As discussed in Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of these Consolidated Financial Statements, the aggregation of loans into pools at the Transaction Date, along with the application of ASC 310-30, eliminated the requirement for loans within the PCI Term Pools to be evaluated on the underlying individual loan performance and classification as TDRs.

The Company completed the annual goodwill impairment testing during the third quarter of 2012 and no impairment was recognized.

 

Other Intangible Assets

The Company has five types of identifiable intangible assets: core deposit intangibles, customer relationship intangibles, trade name intangibles, non-compete intangibles, and mortgage and other loan servicing rights. All intangible assets are amortized over their estimated lives, where applicable. The core deposit, the customer relationship, the trade name, and the non-compete intangibles are created when a company acquires another company. The loan servicing rights are created when loans are sold but the right to service the loans is retained by the seller. The recognition of any new intangibles due to new loan servicing rights appears as “Additions,” in the following tables which summarize the changes in the other intangible assets by class.

NOTE 9. DEFERRED TAX ASSETS AND TAX PROVISION

Deferred Tax Assets

The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences related to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, for tax credit carryforwards, and for other tax attributes. Without regard to a deferred tax liability of $5.2 million for an indefinite lived intangible, the deferred tax asset net of valuation allowance was $2.2 million at September 30, 2012, and $1.5 million at December 31, 2011. In determining these amounts, the gross deferred tax assets were reduced by deferred tax liabilities with the exception of a deferred tax liability of $5.2 million that was recorded in connection with an indefinite lived trade name intangible. The deferred tax liabilities other than that associated with the indefinite lived trade name intangible are expected to reverse in a manner that produces future taxable income appropriate to support the recognition of a corresponding amount of deferred tax assets. Any amounts of deferred tax asset that are not able to be recognized on this basis have been reduced by a valuation allowance.

NOTE 9. DEFERRED TAX ASSETS AND TAX PROVISION – (CONTINUED)

 

At June 30, 2009, Management concluded that it was more likely than not that the Company would not generate sufficient future taxable income in the foreseeable future to realize all of the Company’s deferred tax assets. Management evaluates the Company’s deferred tax assets for recoverability using a consistent approach which considers the relative impact of negative and positive evidence, including the Company’s historical profitability and projections of future taxable income. For the three year period ended September 30, 2012, the Company is in a cumulative pretax loss position. For purposes of maintaining a deferred tax valuation allowance, this cumulative pretax loss position is considered significant, objective evidence that the Company may not be able to realize some portion of the deferred tax assets in the future. In addition, as a result of the Investment Transaction on August 31, 2010, the Company incurred an ownership change under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. The ownership change will limit the utilization, for tax purposes, of certain items of the net deferred tax asset including net operating losses, recognized built-in losses and credit carryforwards.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, and during 2011, the Company released a portion of the state deferred tax valuation allowance due to an assessment of the realizability of the deferred tax asset based on existing California State tax law. In addition, an adjustment to the state deferred tax asset and valuation allowance was posted as the Company utilized a portion of its state net operating loss carryforwards to offset the current period’s estimated state taxable income.

Income Tax Provision

Estimates of the annual effective tax rate at the end of interim periods to be utilized in determining the provision for income tax expense are, of necessity, based on evaluations of possible future events and transactions which are subject to subsequent refinement or revision. Since the Company believes a reliable estimate of the annual effective tax rate cannot be made, the actual effective tax rate for the year to date has been used as the best estimate of the annual effective tax rate.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, an income tax provision of $135,000, and $1.3 million, was recognized. The tax provision for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, is primarily attributable to a state alternative minimum tax (“AMT”) offset by a favorable settlement of $204,000 with the California Franchise Tax Board’s examination of the Company’s 2002-2006 claim for refund. Although the state AMT liability generated an AMT credit carryforward, the Company did not recognize a benefit for this AMT credit carryforward, since it has a valuation allowance offsetting its deferred tax assets.

At September 30, 2012, and December 31, 2011, Management concluded that there were no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition or disclosure in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements as required under ASC 740-10, Income Taxes regarding accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. The Company may from time to time be assessed interest or penalties by major tax jurisdictions, although any such assessments historically have been minimal and immaterial to financial results. In the event the Company has an assessment from a taxing authority, any resulting interest and penalties are recognized as a component of income tax expense.

Included in the balances are TT&L funds from clients on behalf of the U.S. Treasury. The funds received and held for TT&Ls do not incur interest expense, therefore no interest expense or rates are disclosed for these borrowings in the table above. The TT&L program was discontinued during 2011.

Federal Home Loan Bank Advances

The Company is a member of FHLB and has a line of credit established. The borrowing capacity is determined based on asset size among other factors. The Company is required to pledge assets to securitize its borrowings line. As of September 30, 2012, and December 31, 2011, there were no FHLB advances outstanding. As of September 30, 2012, the Company had a line of credit with the FHLB of $1.49 billion, with investment securities and loans pledged as collateral with an estimated market value of $1.87 billion for the line.

    (1) Included in lease obligations is a lease which was assigned. At September 30, 2012, the assigned lease obligation was $37.9 million.

 

The Company leases most of its office locations and substantially all of these office leases contain multiple five-year renewal options and provisions for increased rentals, principally for property taxes and maintenance. At September 30, 2012, the minimum commitments under non-cancelable leases for the next five years and thereafter are shown in the table above. The amounts in the table for minimum rentals are not reported net of the contractual obligations of sub-tenants. Sub-tenants leasing space from the Company under these operating and capital leases are contractually obligated to the Company for approximately $2.6 million at September 30, 2012. Approximately 69% of these payments are due to the Company over the next three years.

Contractual Commitments for Unfunded Loans and Letter of Credits

For a summary and more information on the contractual commitments for unfunded loan commitments and letters of credit as of September 30, 2012, refer to Note 4, “Loans” and Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of these Consolidated Financial Statements.

Legal Matters

The Company and the individual members of its Board of Directors were named as defendants in a number of purported shareholder class action lawsuits arising out of the proposed merger between the Company and UNBC, which merger was announced on March 12, 2012. Five lawsuits were filed in Superior Court in Santa Barbara County, California, and three lawsuits were filed in Delaware Chancery Court. The California and Delaware lawsuits were consolidated in their respective jurisdictions (consolidated California case is captioned Monty v. Ford, et al., and consolidated Delaware case is captioned In re Pacific Capital Bancorp Shareholder Litigation). The consolidated lawsuits in both jurisdictions alleged claims for breach of fiduciary duty by the individual directors, and claims against the Company and UNBC for aiding and abetting that breach of fiduciary duty. The shareholders of the Company received formal notice of a proposed settlement, which was formally approved by the California Court on October 29, 2012. The settlement will not have any material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flow.

The Company is involved in various other lawsuits of a routine nature that are being handled and defended in the ordinary course of the Company’s business. Expenses are being incurred in connection with defending the Company, but in the opinion of Management, based in part on consultation with legal counsel, the resolution of these lawsuits will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

NOTE 15. SEGMENTS

The segments are aligned based on how the Company’s Board of Directors has set performance goals for the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and his management team. The financial results and determination of the operating segments were based on the major business lines of the Bank and the products and services offered to the clients of each segment, as well as how the chief operating decision maker of the Company measures performance and allocates resources. The Company has two operating business segments: Commercial & Community Banking and Wealth Management. The All Other segment is not considered an operating segment, but includes all corporate administrative support departments such as human resources, legal, finance and accounting, treasury, information technology, internal audit, risk management, facilities management, marketing, executive management and the Bank’s holding company. The operations and expenses reported in the All Other segment cannot specifically be allocated to the operating segments based on the services provided. The administrative departments which specifically support the operating segments have been identified and reported within the operating segment.

A summary of the operating segments products and services and clients are below:

Commercial & Community Banking

The Commercial & Community Banking reportable segment is the aggregation of client sales and service activities typically found in a bank. This reportable segment includes all lending and deposit products of the Bank. Clients include small business and middle market companies as well as individuals in the communities which the Bank serves.

NOTE 15. SEGMENTS - CONTINUED

 

Loan products offered by the Commercial & Community Banking segment include traditional commercial and industrial (“commercial”) and commercial real estate loans, lines of credit, letters of credit, asset based lending, construction loans, land acquisition and development loans to small business and middle market commercial clients. Loan products offered to individual clients include residential real estate loans, home equity lines and loans, and consumer loans.

Deposit products offered by the Commercial & Community Banking segment include checking, savings, money market accounts, individual retirement accounts and certificates of deposit. Other products include foreign exchange services, treasury services and debit card services. The Commercial & Community Banking segment serves clients through traditional banking branches, loan production centers, Automated Teller Machines (“ATMs”) and through client contact call centers and online banking.

Included in the Commercial & Community Banking segment are the associated administrative departments to support their products and activities such as loan servicing, credit administration, special assets department, research, wire room, delinquency management unit, central vault operations, retail banking administration and retail and commercial lending administration departments.

Wealth Management

The Wealth Management reportable segment includes the trust and investment advisory services division and the two registered investment advisors, MCM and REWA which are subsidiaries of the Bank. The Wealth Management segment provides investment reviews, analysis and customized portfolio management for separately managed accounts, full service brokerage, trust and fiduciary services, equity and fixed income management and real estate and specialty asset management.

All Other

This reportable segment consists of administrative support areas of the Company and is not considered an operating segment of the Company. The All Other segment is presented in the segment tables above to reflect unallocated operating segments to the consolidated totals of the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. The administrative support units include the Company’s executive administration, risk management, information technology operations, marketing, human resources, corporate real estate, legal, treasury, and finance and accounting areas of the Company. The income and expense generated by the All Other segment is from the investment securities portfolio and the borrowings which is managed by the treasury department and allocated to the operating segments as part of the allocation process in preparing segment balance sheets.

Indirect Credit/(Charge) for Funds

Included in “Indirect credit/(charge) for funds” is an allocation of net interest income between segments with the All Other segment being used for the funding center. The indirect credit/(charge) for funds is calculated by analyzing average earning assets and average interest bearing liabilities plus average noninterest bearing deposits. If a segment’s average earning assets are greater, the net average assets are multiplied by the net cost of funds to calculate the indirect charge for funds as the segment does not have enough liabilities to fund the assets of the segment. If a segment has more interest bearing liabilities than assets, then the net average interest bearing liabilities are multiplied by the net cost of funds and the segment receives an indirect credit for funds.

NOTE 16. REGULATORY MATTERS

On September 2, 2010, the Bank entered into the Operating Agreement with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Bank agreed to maintain total risk-based capital at least equal to 12% of risk-weighted assets and Tier 1 leverage at least equal to 8% of adjusted total assets and to not pay any dividend or reduce its capital without the prior non-objection of the OCC and unless at least three years shall have elapsed since the effective date of the Operating Agreement. The Bank was in compliance with these minimum capital ratios at September 30, 2012, and December 31, 2011, with a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 12.5% and 11.2%, respectively, and a total risk-based capital ratio of 21.6% and 18.3%, respectively.

Any material failure to comply with the provisions of the Operating Agreement could result in additional enforcement actions by the OCC. While the Bank intends to take such actions as may be necessary to comply with the requirements of the Operating Agreement, there can be no assurance that the Bank will be able to comply fully with the provisions of the Operating Agreement, that compliance with the Operating Agreement will not be more time consuming or more expensive than anticipated, or that efforts to comply with the Operating Agreement will not have adverse effects on the operations and financial condition of the Company or the Bank.

For the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011

Interest income was $69.9 million, and $66.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012, and 2011, respectively. The increase in interest income is mostly attributed to higher yields earned on the Company’s loan portfolio due to the increase in discount rates for PCI Loan pools. The average yield for the loan portfolio for the three months ended September 30, 2012 was 6.66% compared to 6.38% for the three month period ended September 30, 2011, an increase of 28 basis points.

PCI Loan Pools’ balances continue to decline due to attrition but the underlying credit performance of the pools continues to perform favorably. The discount rate on all PCI Loan Pools, including PCI Revolving Pools, increased from approximately 6.21% for the three months ended September 30, 2011, to approximately 6.57% for the three months ended September 30, 2012. Accretion on PCI Loan Pools for the three months ended September 30, 2012, included $1.7 million of accretion on PCI Revolving Pools resulting from improved credit performance of the underlying loans within these pools. The Company did not record accretion of the purchase discount on PCI Revolving Pools during the three months ended September 30, 2011.

Interest income was $206.2 million and $204.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, and 2011, respectively. The increase in interest income resulted primarily from higher average balances for investment securities. The average balance of investment securities was $1.40 billion compared to $1.33 billion, an increase of $66.0 million when comparing the nine month period ended September 30, 2012 to September 30, 2011. The increase in average balance is mostly attributed to the purchases of CMOs during the latter part of 2011.

INTEREST EXPENSE

The Company incurs interest expense from interest payments made to depositors and for other borrowings. Interest expense from deposits pertain to the Commercial & Community Banking operating segment, while interest expense from borrowings or debt almost all pertain to the Company’s treasury related activities and therefore are included in the All Other segment. Wealth Management incurs interest expense only for the capital lease on the building occupied by the Company’s trust department. For more information regarding leases, refer to the section titled “Leases” in Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of the Consolidated Financial Statements for an explanation of the accounting for a capital lease.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011

Interest expense was $8.7 million and $26.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively. This compares to $10.2 million and $34.2 million reported for the same respective periods in 2011. The decline in interest expense was primarily attributable to the maturity and redemption of subordinated debt and the maturity and repricing of higher rate CDs.

The decline in interest expense on other borrowings between the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, was $700,000 and $4.9 million, respectively. This decrease in interest expense of other borrowings is attributed to the maturity and redemption of $53.0 million of subordinated debt during the third and fourth quarters of 2011.

The decline in interest expense on deposits for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, is mostly attributed to a decline in the average balance and repricing of interest rates on CDs. The average balance for CDs declined by $335.4 million and $418.2 million between the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, and 2011, respectively. The decline in average balance was primarily driven by the maturity of higher rate customer and brokered CDs. In addition, the amortization of premiums on CDs declined during 2012 since there were fewer CDs outstanding from the Investment Transaction in 2012 compared with 2011. The premium amortization is the result of fair value adjustments made as part of the Investment Transaction.

NET INTEREST MARGIN

An important measure of a financial institution’s earning capacity is its net interest margin. This measure is computed by dividing the difference between interest income and interest expense, or net interest income, by average earning assets. As a financial intermediary, a bank earns money by borrowing from depositors and debt-holders and lending some of those funds to clients and by purchasing investments. By combining the average yield earned on interest earning assets with the average interest cost to hold those assets, the net interest margin measures both the institution’s ability to earn its desired yield on its assets and its efficiency in obtaining the funding that supports those assets. The net interest margin differs from, and is lower than the net interest spread, which is the difference between the average yield earned on interest bearing assets and the average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities, because a portion of the Company’s interest earning assets are funded by noninterest bearing liabilities.

The net interest margin is improved by higher yields earned on interest earning assets, lower rates paid on interest bearing liabilities, funding a larger proportion of earning assets with noninterest bearing liabilities, and by lowering the amount of nonearning assets that must be funded. Yields earned on assets and rates paid on liabilities tend to move in tandem with each other as the market interest rate environment changes, but it is generally harder to improve the net interest margin in a low interest rate environment because there is a point beyond which deposit rates cannot be reduced, and still retain clients, while yields on assets may continue to decline. Conversely, as market interest rates rise, deposit rates will generally not rise as fast or as much, and the net interest margin may thereby be improved.

Interest income and interest expense have been impacted by purchase accounting adjustments, resulting from the Investment Transaction. Specifically, the accretion of discounts, and amortization of premiums, that were recorded on the Company’s loans, investment securities, deposits, and borrowings, as well as other interest earning assets, is reflected in the amounts for interest income and expense disclosed in the tables below.

The net interest margin is usually adversely impacted by nonperforming loans, with the exception of PCI Term Pools, because the Company generally ceases the accrual of interest on nonperforming loans, while those balances continue to be included in the average balances for loans. Interest income recognized on PCI Term Pools is based on an expected cash flows model; therefore regardless of the performance classification of individual loans within these pools, the Company recognizes accretion based on expectations of future cash flows.

For the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011

Net interest margin improved by 30 basis points to 4.38% for the three months ended September 30, 2012, compared with 4.08% for the same period in 2011. The improvement in net interest margin was primarily the result of a 28 basis points improvement in loan yields due to improved performance on the PCI Loan Pools; a 40 basis point decline in other borrowed funds due to the maturity of $53.0 million of subordinated debt in the third and fourth quarters of 2011; and an 8 basis point decline in interest bearing deposits as the relative percentage of savings and interest bearing transaction accounts to total interest bearing deposits increased compared with time certificate of deposits.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011

Net interest margin improved 24 basis points to 4.41% compared with 4.17% for the same period in 2011. This improvement in net interest margin was primarily the result of a 104 basis point decline in other borrowed funds due to the maturity of $53.0 million of subordinated debt in the third and fourth quarters of 2011; and a 10 basis point decline in the cost of interest bearing deposits as the relative percentage of savings and interest bearing transaction accounts to total interest bearing deposits increased and the average amount of higher cost time certificate of deposits declined $418.2 million.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES

Quarterly, the Company determines the amount of ALLL that is adequate to provide for losses inherent in the Company’s loan portfolio. For loans originated or purchased since the Transaction Date, the provision for loan losses is a function of the net change in the required level of the ALLL from one period to another, as determined by the Company’s quarterly analysis of the adequacy of the ALLL.

The Company may establish a separate ALLL for PCI Term Pools through a charge to the provision for loan losses when projections of future cash flows from those pools are lower than previous expectations. However, if, through the Company’s quarterly evaluation of expected cash flows, it determines there has been a significant and probable increase in the cash flows expected to be collected from those pools, the Company may reverse any previously established allowance for PCI Term Pools through an adjustment to the provision for loan losses, to the extent that any previous allowance has been established.

For PCI Revolving Pools, the Company evaluates credit performance each quarter to determine if there has been additional deterioration in the credit quality of the underlying loans beyond what is reflected in the purchase discount. To the extent that the credit performance is worse than previously expected, the Company may establish an ALLL for PCI Revolving Pools through a charge to the provision for loan losses. If the Company’s quarterly evaluation of these pools indicates that credit performance is better than previously expected, the Company may reverse any previously established allowance, and increase the amount of the purchase discount that is accreted into interest income, through an upward adjustment to the yield recognized on these pools. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company determined that the underlying credit performance of PCI Revolving Pools had improved from prior periods, and as a result, began to accrete the purchase discount related to those pools.

For a detailed discussion of the Company’s ALLL, refer to the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses section of this document, Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” and Note 6, “Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses” within the Consolidated Financial Statements of this Form 10-Q and Note 7, “Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses and Credit Quality” and the “Critical Accounting Policies” section of the MD&A of the 2011 Form 10-K.

For the three and nine months ended September 2012 and 2011

The provision for loan losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, totaled $860,000, and $2.0 million, respectively. The provision for loan losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, totaled $787,000 and $4.3 million, respectively. The increase in the provision for loan losses for the comparable three month periods is

primarily from the purchase of loans and an increase in loan originations during the period. The decline in the provision for loan losses when comparing the nine month period ended September 30, 2012 to the same period a year ago is mostly attributed to the application of lower historical loss rates for the loan originations and purchases of loans during these periods. The provision for loan losses is reported in the Commercial & Community Banking operating segment.

NONINTEREST INCOME

Noninterest income primarily consists of fee income received from the operations of the Bank and gains or losses from sales of assets. Fee income is generated by servicing deposit relationships, trust and investment advisory fees, and fees and commissions earned on certain transactions from Bank operations. Service charges and fees include charges for a wide range of services provided to clients such as ATMs, safe deposit boxes, bank card fees, loan servicing fees, late charges for loans and wire transfer fees. Trust and investment advisory fees are primarily from the management of clients’ assets. As the balance and the value of the assets under management increase, fees generally increase. The service charges and fees and gains and losses on asset sales relate to the Community & Commercial Banking segment while the trust and investment advisory fees are from the Wealth Management segment. Gains and losses from the sales of securities are from the treasury department’s management of the investment securities and are reflected in the All Other segment.

For the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011

Noninterest income was $20.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012, and $13.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, an increase of $7.1 million. This increase is mostly attributable to the increase in other noninterest income as shown on the next table. The increase in gain (loss) on securities, net is from the sale and call of $19.6 million of state and municipal securities during the three months ended September 30, 2012 versus a loss on the call of $308,000 of state and municipal securities during the same three month period a year ago.

Other noninterest income was $8.4 million and $1.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012, and September 30, 2011, respectively, an increase of $6.5 million. This increase is primarily from a $5.8 million increase in the net gain on sales of assets which is attributed to $5.4 million from the gain on sale of OREO and $1.4 million from the gain on sale of loans. Net gain/(loss) on LIHTCPs declined due to the Company’s reduction in the investment in these partnerships, since several of the Bank’s investments were sold during the latter half of 2011 and during 2012.

Other noninterest income increased $10.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared with the same period a year earlier. This increase is attributed to an increase in the net gain on sale of assets and a decline in the net loss on LIHTCPs. The net gain on sale of assets increased $8.5 million and was the result of an increase in the gain on sale of OREO of $4.5 million, a decline in OREO valuation write downs of $2.2 million, and an increase in the gain on sale of loans of $1.5 million. Net loss on LIHTCPs declined due to the reduction in the Company’s investment in these partnerships since several of the Bank’s investments were sold during the latter half of 2011 and during 2012.

Noninterest expense decreased of $1.0 million to $47.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012, compared with $48.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011. This decrease is primarily attributed to a decline in salaries and benefit expense offset by an increase in other noninterest as shown in the next table. Salaries and benefits decreased as the result of a fewer number of employees resulting from attrition due to the merger announcement with UNBC.

Total merger expense was $1.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012 including related salaries and benefits and net occupancy expenses.

Other noninterest expense increased by $2.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012, compared with the three months ended September 30, 2011. This increase is mostly attributable a $3.7 million increase in the estimated earnout liability for the Bank’s two RIAs; merger expenses of $1.6 million incurred during the three months ended September 30, 2012; and offset by a reduction in the reserve for off balance sheet commitments of $1.5 million attributed to the decline in unfunded commitments and required reserves required for the PCI Revolving Pools.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011

Total merger expense was $4.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 including related salaries and benefits and net occupancy expenses.

Other noninterest expense increased by $5.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, when compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2011. This increase is mostly attributable a $9.5 million increase in the estimated earnout liability for the Bank’s two RIAs; $4.0 million of merger related costs incurred in 2012; and offset by a decline in regulatory assessments of $5.6 million due to the Bank’s improved financial condition and a $3.3 million reversal of the reserve for off-balance sheet commitments due to a decline in unfunded commitments and required reserves for the PCI Revolving Pools.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

As required by GAAP, the Company uses the asset and liability method for reporting its income tax provision expense or benefit. Under this method, income tax expense is recorded for events that increase the Company’s tax liabilities and benefit is recorded for events that decrease them. The provision is recorded in the form of deferred tax expense or benefit as the temporary basis differences arise, with the accumulated amount recognized as a deferred tax liability or asset. Deferred tax assets represent future deductions in the Company’s income tax return, while deferred tax liabilities represent future payments to tax authorities.

Management’s determination of the realization of net deferred tax assets is based upon management’s judgment of various future events and uncertainties, including the timing and amount of future income, as well as the implementation of various tax planning strategies to maximize realization of the deferred tax assets. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Company currently has a valuation allowance of $213.0 million against net deferred tax assets of $215.2 million (excluding the deferred tax liability related to the indefinite-lived trade name intangible of $5.2 million). Management continues to assess the impact of Company performance and the economic climate on the realizability of its deferred tax asset on a quarterly basis. The amount of deferred tax assets considered realizable is subject to adjustment in future periods. Management will continue

to monitor all available evidence related to the Company’s ability to utilize its deferred tax assets. The income tax expense or benefit in future periods will be reduced or increased to the extent of offsetting decreases or increases to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, a $135,000 and $1.3 million, income tax provision was recognized. The tax provision for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, is primarily attributable to a current state AMT offset by a favorable settlement of $204,000 with the California Franchise Tax Board’s examination of the Company’s 2002-2006 claim for refund.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, an income tax benefit of $515,000, and an income tax benefit of $309,000, was recognized, respectively. The tax provision for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 is primarily attributable to a current state AMT payable limitation offset by a favorable settlement with the California Franchise Tax Board’s examination of the Company’s 2002-2006 claims for refund.

For additional information related to the Company’s provision for income taxes, refer to Note 9, “Deferred Tax Asset and Tax Provision” of the Consolidated Financial Statements and the discussion of income taxes and deferred tax assets in the “Critical Accounting Policies” section of the 2011 Form 10-K.

 

BALANCE SHEET ANALYSIS

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents increased by $344.1 million since December 31, 2011, to $556.8 million at September 30, 2012. The increase in cash and cash equivalents was primarily due to principal loan payments in excess of originations of $241.9 million, principal pay downs, calls, and maturities of investment securities of $249.3 million, an increase in deposits of $43.8 million, and offset by $227.2 million use of funds to purchase loans.

INVESTMENT SECURITIES

The Company’s security portfolio is utilized as collateral for borrowings, required collateral for public agencies and trust clients deposits, CRA support, and to manage liquidity and interest rate risk.

The balance of AFS securities was $1.24 billion at September 30, 2012, compared to $1.50 billion at December 31, 2011, a decrease of $259.3 million. This decrease is attributable primarily to principal paydowns of $214.9 million, maturities of $29.3 million, and sales of $25.7 million. This decrease is offset by an increase in the fair value net of realized gains and losses of $18.3 million.

For additional information on impairment of investment securities and credit ratings of investment securities, and the Company’s FHLB stock and other investments refer to Note 3, “Investment Securities” of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

LOAN PORTFOLIO

The Company offers a full range of lending products and banking services to households, professionals, and businesses including commercial and residential real estate loans, commercial and industrial loans, and consumer loans.

At September 30, 2012, loans held for investment were $82.9 million higher than that reported at December 31, 2011. This increase is attributed to new loan originations and purchases offset by principal paydowns and payoffs. The loans originated or purchased since the Transaction Date loan portfolio increased $556.8 million or 94.7%. The new loan originations during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 were approximately $440.4 million and were primarily loans secured by multifamily and residential 1 to 4 family real estate loans. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company purchased $228.4 million of residential 1 to 4 family, and multifamily loans. The PCI Loan Pools declined during the nine months ended due to scheduled principal paydowns, payoffs, and prepayments of approximately $555.1 million.

ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN AND LEASE LOSSES

The Company has established an ALLL, representing Management’s best estimate of probable credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio as of the date of the balance sheet. The ALLL is increased by charges to current period earnings and recoveries on previously charged-off loans, and is reduced by charge-offs related to loan balances deemed by Management to be uncollectable.

The ALLL of $7.2 million and $5.5 million at September 30, 2012, and December 31, 2011, respectively, relate primarily to loans originated and loans purchased since the Transaction Date. At September 30, 2012, and December 31, 2011, $215,000 and $867,000 of the ALLL related to PCI Term Pool, which is reflective of the Company’s revised estimate for future cash flows from the pool being below previous expectations. Management performs quarterly assessments of cash flows for PCI Term Pools. To the extent revised estimates for cash flows are below previous expectations, the Company may record additional provisions for loan losses, further increasing the allowance for PCI Term Pools. However, if Management’s periodic assessment indicates there has been a probable and significant increase in the level of expected future cash flows, the Company may record a credit to the provision for loan losses, reducing the allowance for PCI Term Pools to the extent that an allowance was previously established. During the three months ended September 30, 2012, the Company charged-off $273,000 of loans against the ALLL in one PCI Term Pool. This charge-off was in excess of the recorded purchase discount. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company reversed approximately $379,000 of the ALLL within the same PCI Term Pool due to the receipt of loan payments that exceeded the book value of the loans.

The ALLL attributed to loans originated or purchased after the Transaction Date, also referred to as new and purchased loans, represented 0.61% of the new and purchased loans portfolio at September 30, 2012, compared to 0.79% at December 31, 2011. Although the ALLL for new and purchased loans increased $2.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the ratio of ALLL for these loan balances declined. The decline in this ratio primarily relates to lower historical loss rates at September 30, 2012, compared to December 31, 2011. The underlying credit quality for new and purchased loans also remained high during the first nine months of 2012. At September 30, 2012, $1.14 billion or 99.9% of loans originated or purchased since the Transaction Date were considered current, while $85,000 or less than 0.01% were 30-89 days past due, and $988,000 or less than 0.1% were on nonaccrual. Additionally, $1.14 billion or 99.8% of the new and purchased loans portfolio were considered non-classified, while $2.1 million or 0.2% were considered classified, based on the Company’s internal credit risk classifications.

ALLL Model Methodology

The Company has continued to use the ALLL methodology used in prior periods, including prior to the Investment Transaction. The ALLL model uses quantitative and qualitative factors to estimate the required level of the ALLL. Quantitative factors are based primarily on historical credit losses for each portfolio of similar loans over a time horizon or “look-back” period. The Company generally uses historical credit losses over the past six quarters as a basis for its quantitative factors.

Qualitative factors are generally used to increase historical loss rates based on the Company’s estimate of the losses inherent in the outstanding loan portfolio that may not be fully captured by the quantitative factors alone. Qualitative factors taken into consideration in the ALLL model are: concentrations of types of loans, loan growth, control environment, delinquency and classified loan trends, Management and staffing experience and turnover, economic conditions, results of independent loan reviews, underlying collateral values, competition, regulatory, legal issues, structured finance and syndicated national credits, and other factors. These qualitative factors are applied as adjustments to the historical loss rates when Management believes they are necessary to better reflect current conditions.

LOAN LOSSES

Net charge-offs of $241,000, and $372,000 were recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively. These net charge-offs mostly relate to one PCI Term pool that had charge-offs of $273,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2012. The remaining net charge-offs are attributable to overdraft loans and consumer loans with small balances that were originated subsequent to the Transaction Date. Net charge-offs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, were $76,000, and $485,000, respectively. These losses related mostly to a PCI Term Pool for which Management had established an ALLL of $300,000, and subsequently determined that a portion of that pool’s carrying value was no longer collectable. The remainder of net losses incurred during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, related to overdrafts and consumer loans with smaller outstanding balances.

The Company’s policy for the accounting for PCI Term Pools is based on expectations of future cash flows, and as a result the Company only records losses related to such loans to the extent that periodic projections for future cash flows are lower than the Company’s previous expectations. If projections for future cash flows are lower than previous expectations, the Company establishes an allowance for estimated losses in PCI Term Pools. The Company records charges against the allowance for PCI Term Pools to the extent the carrying balance for those pools are no longer deemed collectable. At September 30, 2012, and December 31, 2011, the allowance for PCI Term Pools was $215,000 and $867,000, respectively.

NONPERFORMING ASSETS

Nonaccrual and Restructured Loans

When a borrower discontinues making payments as contractually required by the note, the Company must determine whether it is appropriate to continue to accrue interest. Generally, the Company places loans in a nonaccrual status and ceases recognizing interest income when the loan has become delinquent by more than 90 days and/or when Management determines that the repayment of principal and collection of interest is unlikely. The Company may decide that it is appropriate to continue to accrue interest on certain loans more than 90 days delinquent if they are well secured by collateral and collection is in process. While still accruing interest, these loans are normally regarded as nonperforming and therefore are reported as such.

When a loan is placed in a nonaccrual status, any accrued but uncollected interest for the loan is reversed out of interest income in the period in which the status is changed. Subsequent payments received from the client are applied to principal and no further interest income is recognized until the principal has been made current or until circumstances have changed such that payments are again consistently received as contractually required. In the case of commercial clients, the pattern of payment must also be accompanied by a positive change in the financial condition of the borrower.

A loan may be restructured when the Bank determines that a borrower’s financial condition has deteriorated, but still has the ability to repay the loan. A loan is considered to be TDR when the original terms have been modified in favor of the borrower such that either principal or interest has been forgiven, contractual payments are deferred, or the interest rate is below a market rate. Once a loan has been restructured for a client, the Bank considers the loan to be nonaccrual for a minimum of nine months. Once the borrower has made their payments as contractually required for nine months, the loan is reviewed and a determination is made whether the loan can begin to accrue interest. Additional information regarding nonperforming loans is in Note 6, “Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses” of the Consolidated Financial Statements of this Form 10-Q.

Other Real Estate Owned

Real estate acquired through foreclosure on a loan or by surrender of the real estate in lieu of foreclosure is called “OREO.” OREO is originally recorded in the Company’s financial records at the fair value of the property, less estimated costs to sell. If the outstanding balance of the loan is greater than the fair value of the OREO at the time of foreclosure, the difference is charged-off against the ALLL or PCI Loan Pool’s valuation adjustment before recording the asset as an OREO. OREO are maintained in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements at lower of the carrying value or fair value of the OREO, less estimated costs to sell.

 

90


Table of Contents

Once the collateral is foreclosed on and the property becomes an OREO, Management periodically obtains valuations to determine if further valuation adjustments are required. OREO is carried at fair value less the estimated costs to sell. If there is a decrease in the fair value of the property on the valuation date, the decrease in value is charged to noninterest income as a valuation adjustment. During the time the property is held, all related operating and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. All income produced from OREO is included in noninterest income. All gains and losses on sale of OREO is recorded in noninterest income within the other income line item of the financial statements. Additional information regarding nonperforming loans is in Note 8, “Other Real Estate Owned” of the Consolidated Financial Statements of this Form 10-Q.

Nonperforming Loans

At September 30, 2012, and December 31, 2011, there were $17.0 million and $17.4 million of nonperforming loans, respectively. At September 30, 2012, $16.0 million of the nonperforming loans were from the PCI Revolving Pools and $988,000 were from the new and purchased loan portfolio.

If interest due on nonaccrual loans and TDRs had been accrued under the original terms of the loans, $344,000, and $1.1 million, would have been recorded as interest income during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively. Interest income recognized on nonaccrual loans and TDRs during the three and months ended September 30, 2012, was $85,000, and $137,000, respectively.

The reporting for nonperforming loans was significantly impacted by the purchase accounting adjustments and the application of ASC 310-30 for PCI Term Pools. The accounting for PCI Term Pools and PCI Revolving Pools is described in Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” and Note 5, “Purchased Credit Impaired Pools” of the Consolidated Financial Statements of this Form 10-Q. At the Transaction Date, all loans were written down to their fair value. Therefore, only loans in the PCI Revolving Pools and new and purchased loan portfolio can be classified as nonaccrual or TDRs in accordance with ASC 310-20.

The balance of OREO as of September 30, 2012, was $30.3 million, a decrease from December 31, 2011, of $22.0 million. This is the result of sales of $46.5 million and an increase in the valuation of $2.4 million offset by the addition of $26.9 million of OREO properties. For additional information regarding OREO refer to Note 8, “Other Real Estate Owned” of the Consolidated Financial Statements of this Form 10-Q.

IMPAIRED LOANS

A loan is identified as impaired when based on current information and events, it is probable that interest and principal will not be collected according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Generally, impaired loans are classified as nonaccrual. However, there are some loans that are deemed impaired, because of doubt regarding collectability of interest and principal in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan, but are both fully secured by collateral and are current with interest and principal payments. These impaired loans may not be classified as nonaccrual. After Management determines a loan is impaired, it obtains the fair value of the collateral securing the loan if the loan is deemed collateral dependent, or an observable market price for the loan, to measure the extent to which the loan is impaired. If the loan is not deemed collateral dependent or an observable market price for the loan cannot be obtained, Management measures impairment based on expectations of future cash flows from the loan, discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate. If the fair value of the collateral, an observable market price for the loan, or estimates for discounted future cash flows from a loan is less than the Company’s recorded investment in the loan, a valuation allowance is established through a charge to provision for loan losses.

Table of Contents

Impaired loans purchased as part of the Investment Transaction are accounted for under ASC 310-30, “Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality” (“ASC 310-30”), using an accounting policy based on expected cash flows, and are, therefore, not given recognition in the financial statements as individually impaired loans. These loans are also referred to as PCI Term Pools. Should the Company determine that it can no longer reasonably estimate the amount and timing of future cash flows from such loan pools the Company would cease accretion on these loan pools. As of September 30, 2012, there were no PCI Term Pools for which the Company believed it could not derive a reasonable estimate for future cash flows.

Impaired loans that are revolving in nature, acquired as part of the Investment Transaction, have certain attributes that meet the definition of a PCI loan, but are specifically excluded from the scope of ASC 310-30. Such loans, referred to as PCI Revolving Pools, are no longer considered impaired loans because the loans were recorded at fair value on the Transaction Date in accordance with ASC 310-20 and an estimate of future credit losses was included in the purchase discount recorded for those loan pools. However, since loans from the PCI Revolving Pools are specifically excluded from the accounting for PCI loans under ASC 310-30, the Company is required under current accounting guidance to include the underlying loans in the PCI Revolving Pools within its credit quality disclosures for impaired loans. Therefore, impaired loan credit quality disclosures, including those related to nonaccruing loans and TDRs, include loans from the PCI Revolving Pools.

At September 30, 2012, and December 31, 2011, the Company had impaired loans of $2.7 million and $1.0 million, respectively. Impaired loans at September 30, 2012, consist of $1.7 million of TDRs within PCI Revolving Pools, one commercial real estate loan, and four multifamily loans in the amount of $988,000 within the new and purchased loans portfolio as discussed in the section above, Nonperforming Assets. Impaired loans at December 31, 2011, consisted solely of TDRs within the PCI Revolving Pools.

OTHER ASSETS

Other assets of $190.5 million at September 30, 2012, decreased $33.5 million or 15.0% from $224.0 million at December 31, 2011. The decrease is primarily the result of a reduction in OREO of $22.0 million to $30.3 million at September 30, 2012, from $52.3 million at December 31, 2011.

OTHER BORROWINGS AND CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

Other borrowings increased $6.2 million, or 9.4% since December 31, 2011, to $72.8 million as of September 30, 2012. This increase was due primarily to the addition of a five year capital lease for $6.3 million that the Company entered into for the purpose of replacing and upgrading the Bank’s ATMs throughout branch and off-site locations.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

Capital Adequacy Standards

PCBC and SBB&T are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the Federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements as specified by the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action could cause the regulators to initiate certain mandatory or discretionary actions that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. For additional information regarding the Company’s capital refer to Note 16, “Regulatory Matters” of this Form 10-Q and Note 18, “Shareholders’ Equity” and Note 20, “Regulatory Capital Requirements” of the Consolidated Financial Statements of the 2011 Form 10-K .

The minimum capital ratios required to be considered “well capitalized” and “adequately capitalized” under generally applicable regulatory guidelines are included in the table above. As of September 30, 2012, and December 31, 2011, both the Company and the Bank met the minimum levels for the three regulatory ratios to be considered “well capitalized.”

On September 2, 2010, the Bank entered into the Operating Agreement with the OCC, pursuant to which, among other things, the Bank agreed to maintain total risk based capital at least equal to 12.0% of risk-weighted assets, and Tier 1 capital at least equal to 8.0% of adjusted total assets, and to not pay any dividend or reduce its capital without the prior non-objection of the OCC and unless at least three years have elapsed since the effective date of the Operating Agreement. The Bank was in compliance with these minimum capital ratios at September 30, 2012, with a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 12.5% and a total risk based capital ratio of 21.6%.

Additional Capital

In order to ensure adequate levels of capital, the Company conducts an ongoing assessment of projected sources and uses of capital in conjunction with projected increases in assets and the level of risk. As part of this ongoing assessment, the Board of Directors reviews the various components of capital, the costs, benefits and impact of raising additional capital and the availability of alternative sources of capital. Based on the Board of Directors’ analysis of the Company’s capital needs (including any capital needs arising out of its financial condition and results of operations) and the input of the regulators, the Company could decide or be required by its regulators to raise additional capital.

The Company’s ability to raise additional capital if and when needed will depend on conditions in the capital markets, which are outside the Company’s control, and on the Company’s financial performance. Accordingly, the Company cannot be certain of its ability to raise additional capital on acceptable terms. If the Company cannot raise additional capital if and when necessary, its results of operations and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected, and it may be subject to further supervisory action. In addition, if the Company were to raise additional capital through the issuance of additional shares, its stock price could be adversely affected, depending on the terms of any shares it were to issue and the percentage ownership of existing shareholders would be reduced.

Dividends from the Bank

The principal source of funds from which the Bank’s holding company services its debt and pays its obligations and dividends is the receipt of dividends from the Bank and cash held at the holding company. The availability of dividends from the Bank is limited by various statutes and regulations. Pursuant to the Operating Agreement, the Bank may not pay a dividend or make a capital distribution to the Bank’s holding company without prior approval from the OCC or until September 2, 2013. At September 30, 2012, the Bank’s holding company held $63.4 million in cash, which is sufficient to service its debts for the foreseeable future.

Dividends on Common Stock

In the second quarter of 2009, the Board of Directors elected to suspend the payment of cash dividends on its common stock to preserve capital and liquidity. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Company may not pay cash dividends on its common stock without the prior approval of UNBC.

LIQUIDITY

Liquidity risk is the risk of an institution being unable to meet obligations when they come due and includes an inability to manage unplanned decreases or changes in funding sources. Liquidity risks can be segmented into two categories, either exogenous or endogenous risks. Exogenous risks are systemic in nature and typically outside the control of an organization and affect all market participants to varying extents (e.g. the disruptions in the overall asset securitization market). Endogenous risks are localized to a specific organization and are usually within its control (e.g. poor liquidity management).

The Company believes that maintaining a strong liquidity position, including in stressed conditions, is imperative for it to operate in a safe and sound manner. The Company’s policy is to hold enough cash on hand to meet its daily cash needs and to withstand estimated daily cash outflows under a severe stress scenario. In addition, the Company’s policy is to meet long term cash flow needs through its available funding capacity and liquid investment securities and to withstand future cash outflows under a severe stress scenario. The Company also maintains a conservative and diversified funding base to the extent possible, and holds high credit quality investment securities that can be quickly turned into cash. A key component of the Company’s liquidity risk management framework is the development of a sound and accurate process to identify and measure liquidity risk.

 

94


Table of Contents

The Company believes that it is important to have in place comprehensive liquidity and funding policies that are intended to maintain significant flexibility to address specific liquidity events and to address broader industry or market liquidity events. The Company has policies in place regarding liquidity to ensure that the Company is following sound liquidity risk management principles. In putting together these policies, the Company has considered recent guidance provided by the Basel Committee and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

The Company measures liquidity risk through the use of projected cash flow models that identify potential future net funding shortfalls by estimating expected cash inflows and outflows arising from assets, liabilities, derivatives, operations, and off-balance sheet arrangements over a variety of time horizons, under normal conditions and a range of stress scenarios, including scenarios of severe stress. These models allow the Company to effectively manage the timing of incoming cash flows with outgoing cash flows, and to identify and remediate potential future net funding shortfalls below the Board of Directors’ approved risk tolerances.

Given the importance of being able to rapidly respond to negative liquidity events, the Company maintains a formal contingency funding plan (“CFP”) that clearly sets out the strategies to be taken if certain negative liquidity events were to occur. The Company’s CFP identifies negative liquidity triggering events; establishes clear lines of responsibility for action; describes the specific procedures or actions to be taken, in priority order, for the initial response; and documents the communication and escalation procedures if initial responses do not resolve the problem. The Company believes that it is currently maintaining sufficient liquidity to meet its cash needs and to withstand a severe stressed liquidity event.

Current Liquidity Status

At September 30, 2012, the Bank had a total facility and unused borrowing capacity of $1.50 billion at the FHLB. The Bank had unused borrowing capacity with the Reserve Bank of $301.9 million at September 30, 2012.

Maturity of Liabilities

At September 30, 2012, the Bank had a total of $41.4 million of brokered CDs. The brokered CDs have maturities from October 2012 through January 2014, with no more than $33.5 million maturing in any one month and no more than $33.7 million maturing in any one quarter. The retail CDs of $1.33 billion at September 30, 2012 have maturities through 2019. The Bank expects that most maturing retail CDs will roll over into new certificates.

Liquidity Ratio

A prevailing liquidity ratio used in the banking industry is the net non-core funding dependence ratio as defined by regulatory practice. This ratio measures the proportion of long term assets such as loans and securities with remaining maturities of over one year that are funded by non-core funding sources and short term non-core funding sources. The Company’s net non-core funding dependency ratio was 1.69% at September 30, 2012.

 

ITEM 3.        QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market risk is the risk of the change in the value of financial instruments due to movements in market factors. The preponderance of market risk that the Company assumes is from interest rate risk. Interest rate risk is the risk to earnings or capital arising from movements in interest rates. The economic perspective for market risk focuses on the value of assets or liabilities in today’s interest rate environment and the sensitivity of those values to changes in interest rates.

Interest rate risk arises from differences between the timing of rate changes and the timing of cash flows (repricing risk); from changing rate relationships between different yield curves affecting assets or liabilities (basis risk); from changing rate relationships across the spectrum of maturities (yield curve risk); and from interest-related options embedded in assets or liabilities (option risk). The evaluation of interest rate risk also considers the potential effect on fee income that is sensitive to changes in interest rates.

For financial instruments that are recorded at fair value, their positions are marked-to-market and changes in the market value of the financial instrument are immediately identified through either earnings or other comprehensive income, both of which impact capital. As with most commercial banks, the Company records most of its financial instruments at historical cost. A separate approach is used to identify market risks for all financial instruments. The Company uses Economic Value of Equity (“EVE”) shock simulation model to identify the impact of market risk to capital and forecasted Net Interest Income (“NII”) shock simulation to identify the impact of interest rate risk to earnings.

EVE is the discounted value of future cash flows of all interest rate sensitive assets minus the discounted value of all interest rate sensitive liabilities, plus the book value of tangible non-interest rate sensitive assets minus tangible non-interest rate sensitive liabilities. EVE shock simulations model the effects of an instantaneous, parallel and sustained change in all market interest rates (in increments of +/- 100 basis points) on assets and liabilities, and measures the resulting increase or decrease to the Company’s EVE position.

NII simulates the effects that repricing has on both interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities. The base NII forecast incorporates the current forward rate curve over the next twelve months. NII shock simulations model the impact of an instantaneous, parallel and sustained change in all market interest rates (in increments of +/- 100 basis points) on future NII. Shock analysis is objective and facilitates comparability. It is not entirely realistic in that it assumes an instantaneous and equal impact on all market rates while market rates do not always respond in a parallel fashion to rising or falling rate environments. This causes asymmetry in the magnitude of changes in NII and net economic value resulting from the hypothetical increases and decreases in interest rates. Also, the current low rate environment with implied zero rate floors prevents a true parallel shift for downward rate shocks.

The Company measures its market risk exposure by performing +/- 200 basis point EVE shock simulations and measures the increase or decrease to the Company’s EVE position. The Company’s Board of Directors has set a (15%) limit for the change in equity in such simulation. The Company measures interest rate risk by performing +/- 200 basis point NII shock simulation and measures the increase or decrease in NII against the projected base NII. The Board of Directors has set (10%) limit for the change in NII in such simulation. At September 30, 2012, and June 30, 2012, the Company met the Board of Directors approved limits for both EVE and NII.

Table of Contents

Financial instruments respond differently from each other in a rising or falling interest rate environment. The response of each instrument depends on its structure including the contractual term, repricing features, amortization or bullet features, expected prepayments or runoff rates, rate indices, caps, floors, etc. The mismatch of these types of features between interest rate sensitive assets versus interest rate sensitive liabilities impacts market risk exposure.

The Company manages its interest rate exposure by monitoring potential asset and liability mismatches and when necessary, reduces them. This may include changing the mix of repricing features as financial instruments come due, product pricing and buying or selling financial instruments with offsetting features.

The Company can also manage its financial instrument exposure by entering into derivative contracts such as futures, forwards, swaps, or option contracts. Accordingly, the Company’s evaluation of market risk considers both derivative positions along with the non-derivative positions intended to be hedged. While derivative instruments are effective hedging tools, the Company generally has been successful at maintaining its interest rate risk profile within policy limits strictly from proactive asset/liability strategies without the use of derivatives.

At September 30, 2012, and June 30, 2012, the Company’s modeled EVE was $720 million and $741 million, respectively. Assuming an instantaneous 200 basis points increase in interest rates, the Company’s projected EVE would increase by approximately $86 million or 12.0% from the $720 million base amount at September 30, 2012, and increase $68 million or 9.2% from the $741 million base amount at June 30, 2012. Assuming an instantaneous 200 basis point decrease in interest rates, the Company’s projected EVE would decrease by $74 million or 10.3% at September 30, 2012, and decrease by $110 million or 14.9% at June 30, 2012. These changes are within the Company’s policy limit of a 15% decline in EVE. The Company believes that the model results of the down 200 basis point shock are less indicative of its true risk position given the current low interest rate environment. This analysis assumes market rates do not go below zero.

At September 30, 2012, the Company’s modeled projection for net interest income over the next twelve months was $222 million. Assuming an instantaneous 200 basis point increase in interest rates, the Company’s projected NII would increase by approximately $21 million or 9.3% from the $222 million base amount. Assuming an instantaneous 200 basis point decrease in interest rates, including a rate floor at zero percent, the Company’s projected NII would increase by $500,000 or 0.2%. These changes are within the Company’s policy limit of a 10% decline in NII.

At June 30, 2012, the Company’s modeled projection for net interest income over the next twelve months was $217 million. Assuming an instantaneous 200 basis point increase in interest rates, the Company’s projected NII would increase by approximately $12 million or 5.6% from the $217 million base amount. Assuming an instantaneous 200 basis point decrease in interest rates, including a rate floor at zero percent, the Company’s projected NII would decrease by $400,000 or 0.1%. These changes are within the Company’s policy limit of a 10% decline in NII.

The following factors impact overall sensitivity of the Company’s EVE and NII to changes in interest rates by increasing the proportion of assets and liabilities that are either insensitive to rate changes or by lengthening the average maturity so that the effect of rate changes would be delayed.

The model utilizes certain assumptions that address optionality. These assumptions include the following:

 

  ¡  

Clients have the option to prepay their loans or withdraw their non-maturing deposits;

 

  ¡  

Issuers have the option to prepay or call their debt, on some of the securities held by the Company;

 

  ¡  

The Company has the option to prepay or call certain types of its debt;

 

  ¡  

The Company has the option to re-price its rate administered deposits; and

 

  ¡  

Loans include features such as interest rate reset terms, imbedded caps and floors, and other aspects of loan terms and conditions.

There are various limitations inherent in modeling both EVE and NII sensitivity analyses. Certain assumptions may not exactly reflect the manner in which actual yields and costs respond to market changes. Likewise, prepayment estimates and similar assumptions are subjective in nature, involve uncertainties and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in interest rates may also affect the Company’s operating environment and operating strategies as well as those of the Company’s competitors. The Company’s NII sensitivity analyses may provide a strong indication of the Company’s interest rate risk exposure however; actual performance may differ from modeled results. There are no material positions, instruments or transactions that are not included in the modeling nor do any included instruments have special features that are not included.

 

ITEM 4.        CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Based on their evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act), the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q, such disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

During the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2012, there was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
