COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Lease Commitments – The Company leases three sites under non-cancelable operating leases. The leases contain various provisions for increases in rental rates, based either on changes in the published Consumer Price Index or a predetermined escalation schedule. All of the leases provide the Company with the option to extend the lease term one or more times following expiration of the initial term. Rent expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 was $97 thousand and $202 thousand, respectively, compared to $110 thousand and $226 thousand, respectively in the comparable periods in 2012. Rent expense was offset by rent income the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, of $4 thousand and $8 thousand, respectively, compared to $44 thousand and $51 thousand, respectively, in the comparable periods of 2012.   The following table sets forth, as of June 30, 2013, the future minimum lease payments under non-cancelable operating leases:   <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="68%" border="0" style="border-collapse:collapse; text-align: left" align="center">  <tr> <td width="89%"> </td> <td valign="bottom" width="6%"> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="bottom" colspan="4" nowrap="nowrap"> (Dollars in thousands) </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="bottom" colspan="4" nowrap="nowrap"> Amounts due in: </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> </tr>   <tr bgcolor="#cceeff"> <td valign="top"> 2013 </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">$</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right"> 140</td> <td nowrap="nowrap" valign="bottom"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"> 2014 </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">426</td> <td nowrap="nowrap" valign="bottom"> </td> </tr> <tr bgcolor="#cceeff"> <td valign="top"> 2015 </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">484</td> <td nowrap="nowrap" valign="bottom"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"> 2016 </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">496</td> <td nowrap="nowrap" valign="bottom"> </td> </tr> <tr bgcolor="#cceeff"> <td valign="top"> 2017 </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">435</td> <td nowrap="nowrap" valign="bottom"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"> Thereafter </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">1508</td> <td nowrap="nowrap" valign="bottom"> </td> </tr> <tr style="font-size:1px"> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">   </td> <td valign="bottom">   </td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr bgcolor="#cceeff"> <td valign="top"> Total </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">$</td> <td valign="bottom" align="right">3,489</td> <td nowrap="nowrap" valign="bottom"> </td> </tr> <tr style="font-size:1px"> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom"> </td> <td valign="bottom">   </td> <td valign="bottom">   </td> <td> </td> </tr>  </table> Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk – The Company’s financial statements do not reflect various commitments and contingent liabilities that arise in the normal course of the Bank’s business and involve elements of credit, liquidity, and interest rate risk.

These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit and financial guarantees. Those instruments involve elements of credit and interest rate risk similar to the amounts recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The contract or notional amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of the Bank’s involvement in particular classes of financial instruments. The Bank’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit, and financial guarantees written, is represented by the contractual notional amount of those instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any covenant or condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. While most standby letters of credit are not utilized, a significant portion of such utilization is on an immediate payment basis. The Bank evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if it is deemed necessary by the Bank upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral varies but may include cash, accounts receivable, inventory, premises and equipment and income-producing commercial properties. Standby letters of credit and financial guarantees written are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. These guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements, including international trade finance, commercial paper, bond financing and similar transactions. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The Bank holds cash, marketable securities, or real estate as collateral supporting those commitments for which collateral is deemed necessary. The Bank was not required to perform on any financial guarantees for the six ended June 30, 2013, and the year ended December 31, 2012, respectively. However, the Bank recognized a loss in connection with a standby letter of credit during the year ended December 31, 2012, which resulted in a $73 thousand charge to the reserve for unfunded commitments. The Bank did not recognize any losses on standby letters of credits for the six months ended June 30, 2013. At June 30, 2013, approximately $2.3 million of standby letters of credit expire within one year, and $881 thousand expire thereafter.   The reserve for unfunded commitments, which is included in other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, was $698 thousand and $499 thousand at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. The adequacy of the reserve for unfunded commitments is reviewed on a monthly basis, based upon changes in the amount of commitments, loss experience, and economic conditions. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company provided additional provisions of $200 thousand to the reserve for unfunded commitments. The provision expense was recorded in other noninterest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Legal Proceedings – The Company is involved in various pending and threatened legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company maintains reserves for losses from legal actions, which are both probable and estimable. In the opinion of management, the disposition of claims currently pending will not have a material adverse affect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. Concentrations of Credit Risk –The Company, pursuant to a purchase agreement, acquires from its former mortgage subsidiary, undivided participation ownership interests, subject to take out commitments to third party investors, in real estate mortgage loans to customers throughout California, Oregon, Washington, and Colorado. As of June 30, 2013, the Company has $23.6 million outstanding under the agreement. The majority of the mortgage loans were sold and removed from the balance sheet by July 31, 2013. In addition, the Company grants real estate construction, commercial, and installment loans to customers throughout northern California. In management’s judgment, a concentration exists in real estate-related loans, which represented approximately 68% and 65% of the Company’s gross loan and lease portfolio at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. Commercial real estate concentrations are managed to assure wide geographic and business diversity. Although management believes such concentrations have no more than the normal risk of collectability, a substantial decline in the economy in general, material increases in interest rates, changes in tax policies, tightening credit or refinancing markets, or a decline in real estate values in the Company’s primary market areas in particular, as we witnessed with the deterioration in the residential development market over the past five years, could have an adverse impact on the repayment of these loans. Personal and business incomes, proceeds from the sale of real property, or proceeds from refinancing, represent the primary sources of repayment for a majority of these loans. The Bank recognizes the credit risks inherent in dealing with other depository institutions. Accordingly, to prevent excessive exposure to any single correspondent, the Bank has established general standards for selecting correspondent banks as well as internal limits for allowable exposure to any single correspondent. In addition, the Bank has an investment policy that sets forth limitations that apply to all investments with respect to credit rating and concentrations with an issuer. falsefalsefalsenonnum:textBlockItemTypenaThe entire disclosure for commitments and contingencies.Reference 1: http://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/presentationRef -Publisher FASB -Name FASB Interpretation (FIN) -Number 14 -Paragraph 3 -LegacyDoc This reference is SUPERSEDED by the Accounting Standards Codification effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009.
