PART I
 
Item 1.      Business
 
General
 
Pacific Continental Corporation (the “Company” or the “Registrant”) is an Oregon corporation and one-bank holding company located in Eugene, Oregon. The Company was organized on June 7, 1999, pursuant to a holding company reorganization of Pacific Continental Bank, its wholly owned subsidiary.
 
The Company’s principal business activities are conducted through its full-service commercial bank subsidiary, Pacific Continental Bank (the “Bank”), an Oregon state-chartered bank with deposits insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). At December 31, 2001, the Bank had facilities in six Oregon cities and towns and operated nine full-service and one limited-service office.
 
Results
 
For the year ended December 31, 2001, the operations of the Company on a combined basis earned net income of $5.7 million or $1.12 per diluted share. The consolidated equity of the Company at December 31, 2001, was $35.6 million with 5.1 million shares outstanding and a book value of $7.03 per share. Loans, including loans held for sale, net of allowance for loan losses, were $239.7 million at December 31, 2001, represented 77 percent of total assets. Deposits totaled $248.3 million at year-end 2001. For more information regarding the Company’s results, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation” and “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” incorporated by reference from the Company’s 2001 Annual Report to Shareholders.
 
THE BANK
 
General
 
The Bank commenced operations on August 15, 1972. At December 31, 2001, the Bank operated ten banking offices serving Western Oregon and Southwest Washington State. The Bank specializes in meeting the deposit and lending needs of professionals and community-based businesses, including online and electronic banking. With more than $300 million in assets, the Bank has been recognized by the Small Business administration as Lender of the Year in Oregon and Southwest Washington each year since 1997. More information on the Bank and its banking services can be found on its website www.therightbank.com. The Bank operates under the banking laws of the State of Oregon and the rules and regulations of the FDIC.
 
Primary Market Area
 
The Bank’s markets consist of Lane, Washington, and Linn Counties in the State of Oregon and Southwest Washington State. The Bank has seven full-service offices in Lane County, two full-service offices in Washington County, and one limited-service office in Linn County. Within Lane County, the Bank has its administrative office and five branch offices in Eugene, one branch office in Springfield, and one branch office in Junction City. Within Washington County, the Bank has a branch office in Beaverton and one branch office in Tualatin. Within Linn County, the Bank has one limited-service branch office in Halsey. Subsequent to December 31, 2001, the bank opened a consumer finance office in Eugene.
 
Competition
 
The Bank competes with a number of commercial banks, savings banks, and credit unions. Commercial banking within the State of Oregon is highly competitive for both deposits and loans. The Bank differentiates itself by providing superior levels of service for its selected client base. The Bank focuses on professionals and community-based businesses in addition to local construction lending.

Lending Activities
 
The Bank emphasizes two areas of lending within its primary market area: loans to professionals and community-based businesses and loans to builders for the construction of commercial facilities and single-family residences.
 
Commercial loans, secured and unsecured, are made primarily to professionals and community-based businesses operating in Lane and Washington Counties and surrounding areas. These loans are available for general operating purposes, acquisition of fixed assets, purchases of equipment and machinery, financing of inventory and accounts receivable, and other business purposes. The Bank also originates Small Business Administration (“SBA”) loans and loans guaranteed by the Farm Service Agency. The Bank has a preferred lender status with the SBA and was named SBA Lender of the Year for Oregon and Southwest Washington from 1997 through 2000.
 
Within its primary markets, the Bank concentrates on construction loan financing for commercial facilities and for pre-sold, custom, and speculative home construction. The major thrust of residential construction lending is for the construction of single-family residences. The Bank also finances requests for duplexes and other multi-family residences.
 
Fixed-rate and variable rate residential mortgage loans are offered through the Bank’s mortgage loan department. Nearly all residential mortgage loans originated are sold in the secondary market along with the mortgage loan servicing rights.
 
The Bank makes secured and unsecured loans to individuals for various purposes including purchases of automobiles, mobile homes, boats and other recreational vehicles, home improvements, education, and personal investment.
 
The Bank offers credit card services to its business customers. The Bank uses an outside vendor for credit card processing. In addition, the Bank provides merchant bankcard processing services to the Bank’s business customers through an outside processor.
 
The Board of Directors has approved specific lending policies and procedures for the Bank and is responsible for implementation of the policies. The lending policies and procedures include guidelines for loan term, loan-to-value rates, collateral appraisals, and interest rates. The loan policies also vest varying levels of loan authority in management, the Bank’s Asset and Liability Committee, and the Board of Directors. Management of the Bank monitors lending activities through weekly management meetings, monthly reporting, and periodic review of loans.
 
Deposit Services
 
The Bank offers a full range of deposit services that are typically available in most banks and savings banks, including checking accounts, savings, money market accounts, and time deposits. The transaction accounts and time deposits are tailored to the Bank’s primary market area at rates competitive with those offered in the area. Additional funds are generated through national networks for institutional deposits of $99,000 or more. All deposit accounts are insured by the FDIC to the maximum amount permitted by law.
 
The Bank has invested in image technology for the processing of checks. The Bank is the only financial institution in Lane, Washington, and Linn Counties offering this service. In addition, the Bank allows 24-hour customer access to deposit and loan information via telephone and on-line cash management products.
 
Other Services
 
The Bank provides other traditional commercial and consumer banking services, including safe deposit services, debit and ATM cards, ACH transactions, savings bonds, cashier’s checks, travelers checks, notary services and others. The Bank is a member of the Star, Explore, and Plus ATM networks and utilizes an outside processor for the processing of these automated transactions.

Employees
 
At December 31, 2001, the Bank employed 141 full time equivalent employees. None of these employees are represented by labor unions. A number of benefit programs are available to eligible employees, including group medical plans, paid sick leave, paid vacation, group life insurance, 401(k) plans, and stock option plans.
 
Supervision and Regulation
 
General
 
We are extensively regulated under federal and state law. These laws and regulations are primarily intended to protect depositors, not shareholders. The discussion below describes and summarizes certain statutes and regulations. These descriptions and summaries are qualified in their entirety by reference to the particular statute or regulation. Changes in applicable laws or regulations may have a material effect on our business and prospects. Our operations may also be affected by changes in the policies of banking and other government regulators. We cannot accurately predict the nature or extent of the possible future effects on our business and earnings of changes in fiscal or monetary policies, or new federal or state laws and regulations.
 
Significant Changes In Banking Laws And Regulations
 
USA Patriot Act of 2001.    On October 26, 2001, President Bush signed the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism (“USA Patriot Act”) of 2001. Among other things, the USA Patriot Act (1) prohibits banks from providing correspondent accounts directly to foreign shell banks; (2) imposes due diligence requirements on banks opening or holding accounts for foreign financial institutions or wealthy foreign individuals (3) requires financial institutions to establish an anti-money-laundering compliance program, and (4) eliminates civil liability for persons who file suspicious activity reports. The Act also increases governmental powers to investigate terrorism, including expanded government access to account records. The Department of the Treasury is empowered to administer and make rules to implement the Act. While we believe the USA Patriot Act may, to some degree, affect our record keeping and reporting expenses, we do not believe that the Act will have a material adverse effect on our business and operations.
 
Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999.    The Financial Services Modernization Act of 1999, also known as the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, brought about significant changes to the laws affecting banks and bank holding companies. Generally, the Act (i) repealed the historical restrictions on preventing banks from affiliating with securities firms, (ii) provided a uniform framework for the activities of banks, savings institutions and their holding companies, (iii) broadened the activities that may be conducted by national banks and banking subsidiaries of bank holding companies, (iv) provided an enhanced framework for protecting the privacy of consumer information and (v) addressed a variety of other legal and regulatory issues affecting both day-to-day operations and long-term activities of financial institutions.
 
Bank holding companies that qualify and elect to become financial holding companies can engage in a wider variety of financial activities than permitted under previous law, particularly with respect to insurance and securities underwriting activities. In addition, in a change from previous law, bank holding companies will be in a position to be owned, controlled or acquired by any company engaged in financially related activities, so long as the company meets certain regulatory requirements. The act also permits national banks (and, in states with wildcard statutes, certain state banks), either directly or through operating subsidiaries, to engage in certain non-banking financial activities.
 
We do not believe that the act will negatively affect our operations in the short term. However, to the extent the legislation permits banks, securities firms and insurance companies to affiliate, the financial services industry may experience further consolidation. This consolidation could result in a growing number of

Table of Contents
larger financial institutions that offer a wider variety of financial services than we currently offer, and these companies may be able to aggressively compete in the markets we currently serve.
 
Federal Bank Holding Company Regulation
 
General.    The Company is a bank holding company as defined in the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, and is therefore subject to regulation, supervision and examination by the Federal Reserve. In general, the Bank Holding Company Act limits the business of bank holding companies to owning or controlling banks and engaging in other activities closely related to banking. The Company must file reports with the Federal Reserve and must provide it with such additional information as it may require.
 
Holding Company Bank Ownership.    The Bank Holding Company Act requires every bank holding company to obtain the prior approval of the Federal Reserve before (1) acquiring, directly or indirectly, ownership or control of any voting shares of another bank or bank holding company if, after such acquisition, it would own or control more than 5% of such shares, (2) acquiring all or substantially all of the assets of another bank or bank holding company, or (3) merging or consolidating with another bank holding company.
 
Holding Company Control of Nonbanks.    With some exceptions, the Bank Holding Company Act also prohibits a bank holding company from acquiring or retaining direct or indirect ownership or control of more than 5% of the voting shares of any company which is not a bank or bank holding company, or from engaging directly or indirectly in activities other than those of banking, managing or controlling banks, or providing services for its subsidiaries. The principal exceptions to these prohibitions involve certain non-bank activities which, by statute or by Federal Reserve regulation or order, have been identified as activities closely related to the business of banking or of managing or controlling banks.
 
Transactions with Affiliates.    Subsidiary banks of a bank holding company are subject to restrictions imposed by the Federal Reserve Act on extensions of credit to the holding company or its subsidiaries, on investments in their securities and on the use of their securities as collateral for loans to any borrower. These regulations and restrictions may limit the Company’s ability to obtain funds from the Bank for its cash needs, including funds for payment of dividends, interest and operational expenses.
 
Tying Arrangements.    We are prohibited from engaging in certain tie-in arrangements in connection with any extension of credit, sale or lease of property or furnishing of services. For example, with certain exceptions, neither the Company nor its subsidiaries may condition an extension of credit to a customer on either (1) a requirement that the customer obtain additional services provided by us or (2) an agreement by the customer to refrain from obtaining other services from a competitor.
 
Support of Subsidiary Banks.    Under Federal Reserve policy, the Company is expected to act as a source of financial and managerial strength to the Bank. This means that the Company is required to commit, as necessary, resources to support the Bank. Any capital loans a bank holding company makes to its subsidiary banks are subordinate to deposits and to certain other indebtedness of those subsidiary banks.
 
State Law Restrictions.    As an Oregon corporation, the Company is subject to certain limitations and restrictions under applicable Oregon corporate law. For example, state law restrictions in Oregon include limitations and restrictions relating to indemnification of directors, distributions to shareholders, transactions involving directors, officers or interested shareholders, maintenance of books, records, and minutes, and observance of certain corporate formalities.
 
Federal and State Regulation of Pacific Continental Bank
 
General.    The Bank is an Oregon commercial bank operating in Oregon with deposits insured by the FDIC. As a result, the Bank is subject to supervision and regulation by the Oregon Department of Consumer and Business Services and the FDIC. These agencies have the authority to prohibit banks from engaging in what they believe constitute unsafe or unsound banking practices.

Table of Contents
 
Community Reinvestment.    The Community Reinvestment Act requires that, in connection with examinations of financial institutions within their jurisdiction, the Federal Reserve or the FDIC evaluate the record of the financial institution in meeting the credit needs of its local communities, including low and moderate income neighborhoods, consistent with the safe and sound operation of the institution. These factors are also considered in evaluating mergers, acquisitions and applications to open a branch or facility.
 
Insider Credit Transactions.    Banks are also subject to certain restrictions imposed by the Federal Reserve Act on extensions of credit to executive officers, directors, principal shareholders or any related interests of such persons. Extensions of credit (1) must be made on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral as, and follow credit underwriting procedures that are not less stringent than, those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with persons not covered above and who are not employees, and (2) must not involve more than the normal risk of repayment or present other unfavorable features. Banks are also subject to certain lending limits and restrictions on overdrafts to insiders. A violation of these restrictions may result in the assessment of substantial civil monetary penalties, the imposition of a cease and desist order, and other regulatory sanctions.
 
Regulation of Management.    Federal law (1) sets forth circumstances under which officers or directors of a bank may be removed by the institution’s federal supervisory agency; (2) places restraints on lending by a bank to its executive officers, directors, principal shareholders, and their related interests; and (3) prohibits management personnel of a bank from serving as a director or in other management positions of another financial institution whose assets exceed a specified amount or which has an office within a specified geographic area.
 
Safety and Soundness Standards.    Federal law imposes upon banks certain non-capital safety and soundness standards. These standards cover internal controls, information systems and internal audit systems, loan documentation, credit underwriting, interest rate exposure, asset growth, compensation, fees and benefits, such other operational and managerial standards as the agency determines to be appropriate, and standards for asset quality, earnings and stock valuation. An institution that fails to meet these standards must develop a plan acceptable to its regulators, specifying the steps that the institution will take to meet the standards. Failure to submit or implement such a plan may subject the institution to regulatory sanctions.
 
Interstate Banking And Branching
 
The Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994 (“Interstate Act”) permits nationwide interstate banking and branching under certain circumstances. This legislation generally authorizes interstate branching and relaxes federal law restrictions on interstate banking. Currently, bank holding companies may purchase banks in any state, and states may not prohibit these purchases. Additionally, banks are permitted to merge with banks in other states, as long as the home state of neither merging bank has opted out under the legislation. The Interstate Act requires regulators to consult with community organizations before permitting an interstate institution to close a branch in a low-income area.
 
FDIC regulations prohibit banks from using their interstate branches primarily for deposit production. The FDIC has implemented a loan-to-deposit ratio screen to ensure compliance with this prohibition.
 
Oregon enacted “opting in” legislation in accordance with the Interstate Act provisions allowing banks to engage in interstate merger transactions, subject to certain “aging” requirements. Oregon restricts an out-of-state bank from opening de novo branches. However, once an out-of-state bank has acquired a bank within the state, either through merger or acquisition of all or substantially all of the bank’s assets, the out-of-state bank may open additional branches within the state.
 
Deposit Insurance
 
The Bank’s deposits are currently insured to a maximum of $100,000 per depositor through the Bank Insurance Fund administered by the FDIC. The Bank is required to pay deposit insurance premiums, which

7


Table of Contents
are assessed semiannually and paid quarterly. The premium amount is based upon a risk classification system established by the FDIC. Banks with higher levels of capital and a low degree of supervisory concern are assessed lower premiums than banks with lower levels of capital or a higher degree of supervisory concern.
 
The FDIC is also empowered to make special assessments on insured depository institutions in amounts determined by the FDIC to be necessary to give it adequate assessment income to repay amounts borrowed from the U.S. Treasury and other sources or for any other purpose the FDIC deems necessary.
 
Dividends
 
The principal source of the Company’s cash reserves is dividends received from the Bank. The payment of dividends is subject to government regulation, in that regulatory authorities may prohibit banks and bank holding companies from paying dividends in a manner that would constitute an unsafe or unsound banking practice. In addition, a bank may not pay cash dividends if doing so would reduce the amount of its capital below that necessary to meet minimum applicable regulatory capital requirements. State laws also limit a bank’s ability to pay dividends.
 
Capital Adequacy
 
Federal bank regulatory agencies use capital adequacy guidelines in the examination and regulation of bank holding companies and banks. If capital falls below minimum guideline levels, the holding company or bank may be denied approval to acquire or establish additional banks or nonbank businesses or to open new facilities.
 
The FDIC and Federal Reserve use risk-based capital guidelines for banks and bank holding companies. These are designed to make such capital requirements more sensitive to differences in risk profiles among banks and bank holding companies, to account for off-balance sheet exposure and to minimize disincentives for holding liquid assets. Assets and off-balance sheet items are assigned to broad risk categories, each with appropriate weights. The resulting capital ratios represent capital as a percentage of total risk-weighted assets and off-balance sheet items. The guidelines are minimums, and the Federal Reserve has noted that bank holding companies contemplating significant expansion programs should not allow expansion to diminish their capital ratios and should maintain ratios well in excess of the minimum. The current guidelines require all bank holding companies and federally-regulated banks to maintain a minimum risk-based total capital ratio equal to 8%, of which at least 4% must be Tier I capital. Tier I capital for bank holding companies includes common shareholders’ equity, certain qualifying perpetual preferred stock and minority interests in equity accounts of consolidated subsidiaries, less intangibles.
 
The Federal Reserve also employs a leverage ratio, which is Tier I capital as a percentage of total assets less intangibles, to be used as a supplement to risk-based guidelines. The principal objective of the leverage ratio is to constrain the maximum degree to which a bank holding company may leverage its equity capital base. The Federal Reserve requires a minimum leverage ratio of 3%. However, for all but the most highly rated bank holding companies and for bank holding companies seeking to expand, the Federal Reserve expects an additional cushion of at least 1% to 2%.
 
Under FDIC regulations, an institution is assigned to one of five capital categories depending on its total risk-based capital ratio, Tier I risk-based capital ratio, and leverage ratio, together with certain subjective factors. Institutions which are deemed to be “undercapitalized,” depending on the category to which they are assigned, are subject to certain mandatory supervisory corrective actions.
 
Effects Of Government Monetary Policy
 
Our earnings and growth are affected not only by general economic conditions, but also by the fiscal and monetary policies of the federal government, particularly the Federal Reserve. The Federal Reserve can and does implement national monetary policy for such purposes as curbing inflation and combating recession,

8


Table of Contents
but its open market operations in U.S. government securities, control of the discount rate applicable to borrowings from the Federal Reserve, and establishment of reserve requirements against certain deposits, influence the growth of bank loans, investments and deposits, and also affect interest rates charged on loans or paid on deposits. The nature and impact of future changes in monetary policies and their impact on us cannot be predicted with certainty.

Loan Concentrations
 
Loans in the hotel/motel industry totaled approximately $27,000 or 11% of the total loan portfolio at December 31, 2001. These loans are included in the real estate totals above. Nonaccrual loans in this industry total $4,884 or 70% of total nonperforming loans. The ultimate collectility of these loans is affected by the health of the regional hotel/motel industry, which has suffered both a national and regional decline over the past four months. In view of the uncertainties in the hotel/motel industry, the Company is carefully monitoring loans made by the Bank and related properties taken in foreclosure in this industry. Accordingly, it is possible that additional loans may be placed on nonaccrual status or that further losses may be experienced and provisions for loan losses incurred on hotel/motel related loans made by the Bank.
