Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

A complete set of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements is a part of the Company’s 2010 Form 10-K filed March 11, 2011. The notes below are included due to material changes in the financial statements or to provide the reader with additional information not otherwise available. In preparing these financial statements, the Company has evaluated subsequent events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. All dollar amounts in the following notes are expressed in thousands, except per share amounts or where otherwise indicated.

Certain amounts contained in the prior period consolidated financial statements have been reclassified where appropriate to conform to the financial statement presentation used in the current period. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported net income, income per share or retained earnings.

1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Pacific Continental Corporation (the “Company”), a bank holding company, and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Pacific Continental Bank (the “Bank”) and the Bank’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, PCB Services Corporation and PCB Loan Services Corporation (both of which are presently inactive). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company without audit and in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America for interim financial information. The financial statements include all adjustments and normal accruals, which the Company considers necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for such interim periods. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, as of the date of the balance sheets and income and expenses for the periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The balance sheet data as of December 31, 2010, was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures contained in the Company’s 2010 Form 10-K. The interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the December 31, 2010, consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, included in the Company’s 2010 Form 10-K.

2. Securities Available-for Sale

The amortized cost and estimated fair values of securities available-for-sale at March 31, 2011, are as follows:

March 31, 2011

										Securities in		Securities in
										Continuous		Continuous

	$	268,694	$	3,992	$	(1,894	)	$	270,792

At March 31, 2011, there were 106 investment securities in unrealized loss positions. The unrealized loss associated with the investments of $3,004 in a continuous unrealized loss position for twelve months or longer was $549. The projected average life of the securities portfolio is 3.7 years. The Company has no intent, nor is it more likely than not, that it will be required to sell these securities before the recovery of carrying value.

At March 31, 2011, unrealized losses exist on certain securities classified as obligations of states and political subdivisions, agency and private-label mortgage-backed securities. The unrealized losses on obligations of states and political subdivisions are deemed to be temporary. Additionally, the unrealized losses on agency mortgage-backed securities are deemed to be temporary, as these securities retain strong credit ratings, continue to perform adequately, and are backed by various government-sponsored enterprises (“GSEs”). These decreases in fair value are associated with the changes in market interest rates or the widening of market spreads subsequent to the initial purchase of the securities, and not due to concerns regarding the underlying credit of the issuers or the underlying collateral. The decline in value of these securities has resulted from current economic conditions. Although yields on these securities may be below market rates during the period, no loss of principal is expected.

During the first quarter 2011, management reviewed all of its private-label mortgage-backed securities for the presence of additional other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”). Management’s evaluation included the use of independently-generated third-party credit surveillance reports that analyze the loans underlying each security. These reports include estimates of default rates and severities, life collateral loss rates, and static voluntary prepayment assumptions to generate estimated cash flows at the individual security level. Additionally, management considered factors such as downgraded credit ratings, severity and duration of the impairments, the stability of the issuers, and any discounts paid when the securities were purchased. At March 31, 2011, no additional OTTI was identified. Management has considered all available information related to the collectability of the impaired investment securities and believes that the estimated credit loss is appropriate.

Following is a tabular roll-forward of the amount of credit-related OTTI recognized in earnings during the three months ended March 31, 2011, and 2010:

	Three months ended
	March 31, 2011		March 31, 2010

Three investment securities were sold during the first quarter of 2011 resulting in proceeds of $3,179, gross realized gains of $149 and gross realized losses of $158. The specific identification method was used to determine the cost of the securities sold. No securities available for sale were sold during the first quarter of 2010.

At March 31, 2011, securities with amortized costs of $18,429 (estimated market values of $19,100) were pledged to secure certain treasury and public deposits as required by law, and to secure borrowing lines.

3. Loans

Loans are stated at the amount of unpaid principal net of loan premiums or discounts for purchased loans, net deferred loan origination fees, discounts associated with retained portions of loans sold, and an allowance for loan losses. Interest on loans is calculated using the simple-interest method on daily balances of the principal amount outstanding. Loan origination fees, net of origination costs and discounts, are amortized over the lives of the loans as adjustments to yield.

Major classifications of period-end loans, including loans held-for-sale, are as follows:

	March 31,			% of gross			December 31,			% of gross			March 31,			% of gross
	2011			loans			2010			loans			2010			loans
Real estate secured loans:

At March 31, 2011, outstanding loans to dental professionals totaled $182,258 and represented 21.6% of total outstanding loans compared to dental professional loans of $177,229 or 20.7% at December 31, 2010, and $160,976 or 17.4% at March 31, 2010. There are no other industry concentrations in excess of 10% of the total loan portfolio. However, as of March 31, 2011, approximately 68.9% of the Company’s loan portfolio was collateralized by real estate and is, therefore, susceptible to changes in local market conditions.

At March 31, 2011, outstanding residential construction loans totaled $21,774 and represented 2.6% of total outstanding loans. In addition, at March 31, 2011, unfunded loan commitments for residential construction totaled $8,363. Outstanding residential construction loans at December 31, 2010, and March 31, 2010, were $22,683 or 2.6% and $36,174 or 3.9% of total outstanding loans, respectively, with unfunded commitments for residential construction totaling $7,740 and $8,460, respectively. Commercial real estate construction loans were $12,332 or 1.5% of total outstanding loans at March 31, 2011. This compares to $11,730 or 1.4% and $39,480 or 4.3% at March 31, 2010.

While appropriate action is taken to manage identified concentration risks, management believes that the loan portfolio is well diversified by geographic location and among industry groups.

Allowance for loan losses

A summary of activity in the allowance for loan losses is as follows for the three months ended March 31, 2011, and 2010:

	Three months ended
	March 31,
	2011			2010
Balance, beginning of period	$	16,570		$	13,367
Provision charged to income		2,150			4,250
Loans charged against allowance		(3,613	)		(4,911	)
Recoveries credited to allowance		120			2,151
Balance, end of period	$	15,227		$	14,857

The allowance for loan losses is established as an amount that management considers adequate to absorb possible losses on existing loans within the portfolio. The allowance consists of general, specific, and unallocated components. The general component is based upon all loans collectively evaluated for impairment. The specific component is based upon all loans individually evaluated for impairment. The unallocated component represents credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio that may not have been contemplated in the general risk factors or the specific allowance analysis. Loans are charged against the allowance when management believes the collection of principal or interest is unlikely.

The Company performs regular credit reviews of the loan portfolio to determine the credit quality and adherence to underwriting standards. When loans are originated, they are assigned a risk rating that is reassessed periodically during the term of the loan through the credit review process. The Company’s internal risk rating methodology assigns risk ratings ranging from 1 to 10, where a higher rating represents higher risk. The ten risk rating categories are a primary factor in determining an appropriate amount for the allowance for loan losses.

Estimated credit losses reflect consideration of all significant factors that affect the collectability of the loan portfolio. The historical loss rate for each group of loans with similar risk characteristics is determined based on the Company’s own loss experience in that group. Historical loss experience and recent trends in losses provides a reasonable starting point for analysis, however they do not by themselves form a sufficient basis to determine the appropriate level for the ALLR. Qualitative or environmental factors that are likely to cause estimated credit losses to differ from historical losses are also considered including but not limited to:

·	Changes in international, regional, and local economic and business conditions and developments that affect the collectability of the portfolio, including the condition of various market segments;

·	Changes in the nature and volume of the portfolio and in the terms of loans;

·	Changes in the experience, ability, and depth of lending management and other relevant staff;

·	Changes in the volume and severity of past due loans, the volume of nonaccrual loans, and the volume and severity of adversely classified or graded loans;

·	Changes in the quality of the institution’s loan review system;

·	Changes in the value of underlying collateral for collateral-dependent loans;

·	The existence and affect of any concentrations of credit, and changes in the level of such concentrations;

·	The effect of other external factors such as competition and legal and regulatory requirements on the level of estimated credit losses in the institution’s existing portfolio;

·	Changes in lending policies and procedures, including changes in underwriting standards and collection, charge-off, and recovery practices not considered elsewhere in estimating credit losses.

The adequacy of the allowance for loan losses and the reserve for unfunded commitments is determined using a consistent, systematic methodology and is monitored regularly based on management’s evaluation of numerous factors. For each portfolio segment, these factors include:

·	The quality of the current loan portfolio;

·	The trend in the migration of the loan portfolio’s risk ratings;

·	The velocity of migration of losses and potential losses;

·	Current economic conditions;

·	Loan concentrations;

·	Loan growth rates;

·	Past-due and non-performing trends;

·	Evaluation of specific loss estimates for all significant problem loans;

·	Recovery experience;

·	Peer comparison loss rates;

There have been no significant changes to the Company’s allowance for loan loss methodology or policies in the periods presented.

A summary of the activity in the allowance for loan losses by loan segment follows:

(1)The December 31, 2010 allowance allocation has been adjusted to reallocate $5,522 from the construction loan portfolio to the real
estate loan portfolio.

Management believes that the allowance for loan loss was adequate as of March 31, 2011. There is, however, no assurance that future loan losses will not exceed the levels provided for in the allowance for loan loss and could possibly result in additional charges to the provision for loan losses.

Credit Quality Indicators

As previously noted, the Company’s risk rating methodology assigns risk ratings ranging from 1 to 10, where a higher rating represents higher risk. These risk rating categories can be summarized using the following loan grades, which are often used by regulators when assessing the credit quality of a loan portfolio:

Pass- Credit exposure in this category ranges between the highest credit quality to average credit quality. Primary repayment sources generate satisfactory debt service coverage under normal conditions. Cash flow from recurring sources is expected to continue to produce adequate debt service capacity. There are many levels of credit quality contained in the Pass definition, but none of the loans contained in this category rise to the level of special mention.

Special Mention – A special mention asset has potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset or in the institution’s credit position at some future date. Special mention assets are not adversely classified and do not expose an institution to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification. The Company strictly and carefully employs the FDIC definition in assessing assets that may apply to this category. It is apparent that in many cases asset weaknesses relevant to this definition either, (1) better fit a definition of “well-defined weakness”, or (2) in our experience ultimately migrate to worse risk grade categories, such as Substandard and Doubtful. Consequently, management elects to downgrade most potential Special Mention credits to substandard or Doubtful, and therefore adopts a conservative risk grade process in the use of the Special Mention risk grade.

Substandard- A substandard asset is inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the Borrower or of the collateral pledged, if any. Assets so classified must have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. Loans in this category are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Loss potential, while existing in the aggregate amount of substandard assets, does not have to exist in individual assets classified substandard.

Doubtful- An asset classified doubtful has all the weaknesses inherent in one classified substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.

Management strives to consistently apply these definitions when allocating its loans by loan grade. The loan portfolio is continuously monitored for changes in credit quality and management takes appropriate action to update the loan risk ratings accordingly. Management has not changed the Company’s policy towards or use of credit quality indicators during the periods reported.

Past Due and Nonaccrual Loans

The Company uses the terms “past due” and “delinquent” interchangeably. Amortizing loans are considered past due or delinquent based upon the number of contractually required payments not made as indicated in the following table:

Number of Payments Past Due	Days Delinquent
2 Payments	30 Days
3 Payments	60 Days
4 Payments	90 Days
5 Payments	120 Days
6 Payments	150 Days
7 Payments	180 Days

Delinquency status for all contractually matured loans, commercial and commercial real estate loans with non-monthly amortization, and all other extensions of credit is determined based upon the number of calendar months past due.

The following tables present an aged analysis of past due and nonaccrual loans at March 31, 2011, and December 31, 2010:

Impaired Loans

Regular credit reviews of the portfolio are performed to identify loans that are considered potentially impaired. Potentially impaired loans are referred to the ALCO Committee for review and are included in the specific calculation of allowance for loan losses. A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, the Company is unlikely to collect all principal and interest due according to the terms of the loan agreement. When the amount of the impairment represents a confirmed loss, it is charged off against the allowance for loan losses. Impaired loans are often reported net of government guarantees to the extent that the guarantees are expected to be collected. Impaired loans generally include all loans classified as non-accrual and troubled debt restructurings.

Accrual of interest is discontinued on impaired loans when management believes, after considering economic and business conditions and collection efforts that the borrower’s financial condition is such that collection of principal or interest is doubtful. Accrued, but uncollected interest is generally reversed when loans are placed on non-accrual status. Interest income is subsequently recognized only to the extent cash payments are received satisfying all delinquent principal and interest amounts, and the prospects for future payments in accordance with the loan agreement appear relatively certain. In accordance with GAAP, payments received on nonaccrual loans are applied to the principal balance and no interest income is recognized. Interest income may be recognized on impaired loans that are not on non-accrual status.

The following tables display an analysis of the Company’s impaired loans, net of government guarantees at March 31, 2011, and December 31, 2010:

Total impaired loans	$	54,540	$	67,584	$	1,584	$	66,510	$	2,602

The impaired balances reported above were reduced by government guarantees of $760, $1,056 and $788 at March 31, 2011, December 31, 2010, and March 31, 2010, respectively. The recorded investment in impaired loans, net of government guarantees totaled $50,679, $54,540 and $76,644 at March 31, 2011, December 31, 2010, and March 31, 2010, respectively. The specific valuation allowance for impaired loans was $909, $1,584 and $1,802 at March 31, 2011, December 31, 2010, and March 31, 2010, respectively. The average recorded investment in impaired loans was approximately $51,621 and $64,883 during the first three months of 2011 and 2010, respectively. Interest income recognized on impaired loans was $523 in the first three months of 2011 and $102 in the first three months of 2010.

Troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) are included in the impaired loan totals. At March 31, 2011, and December 31, 2010, the Company had $5,398 and $3,679 in TDRs with no specific reserves and no additional unfunded commitments. The Company reported no TDRs at March 31, 2010.

4. Federal Funds and Overnight Funds Purchased:

The Company has unsecured federal funds borrowing lines with various correspondent banks totaling $88,000. At March 31, 2011, and December 31, 2010, there were no outstanding borrowings on these lines. At March 31, 2010, $9,810 was borrowed on these lines.

The Company also has a secured overnight borrowing line available from the Federal Reserve Bank totaling $106,627 at March 31, 2011. The Federal Reserve Bank borrowing line is secured through the pledging of approximately $180,384 of commercial and real estate loans under the Company’s Borrower-In-Custody program. At March 31, 2011, and December 31, 2010, there were no outstanding borrowings on this line. At March 31, 2010, $40,000 was borrowed on this line.

5. Federal Home Loan Bank Borrowings:

The Company has a borrowing limit with the FHLB equal to 30% of total assets, subject to discounted collateral and stock holdings. At March 31, 2011, the maximum borrowing line was $360,761; however, the FHLB borrowing line was limited by the lower of the amount of FHLB stock held or the discounted value of collateral pledged. At March 31, 2011, the FHLB stock held by the Company supported a total of $237,700 in borrowings. At March 31, 2011, the Company had pledged $370,310 in real estate loans and securities to the FHLB that had a discounted value of $145,647. At March 31, 2011, the borrowing line was limited to the discounted value of collateral pledged. There was $91,500 borrowed on this line at March 31, 2011. On April 18, 2011, the FHLB announced changes to its collateral policy that will provide a new framework for determining the borrowing capacity of pledged collateral. This new framework is scheduled for implementation in the second quarter 2011 and may reduce the Company’s borrowing capacity at the FHLB.

The maximum FHLB borrowing line at March 31, 2010, was $357,368. At March 31, 2010, the Company had pledged $352,357 in real estate loans and securities to the FHLB with a discounted collateral value of $239,184. There was $96,500 borrowed on this line at March 31, 2010.

Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings by year of maturity and applicable interest rate are summarized as follows:

	Current			March 31,		December 31,		March 31,
	Rates			2011		2010		2010

6. Stock-based Compensation:

Prior to April 2006, incentive stock option (“ISO”) and non-qualified option awards were granted to employees and directors under the Company’s 1999 Employees’ Stock Option Plan, and the Company’s 1999 Directors’ Stock Option Plan. Subsequent to the annual shareholders’ meeting in April 2006, all shares available under these plans were deregistered and are no longer available for future grants.

At the annual shareholders’ meeting in April 2006, shareholders approved the 2006 Stock Option and Equity Compensation Plan (the “2006 SOEC Plan”). Pursuant to this plan, ISOs, nonqualified stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, or stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) may be awarded to attract and retain the best available personnel to the Company and its subsidiaries. Additionally, non-qualified option awards and restricted stock awards may be granted to directors under the terms of this plan. 1,050,000 shares are currently authorized under the 2006 SOEC Plan, of which 214,943 shares remain available for future issuance under the plan.

Incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units or SARs may be awarded to attract and retain the best available personnel for positions of responsibility with the Company and its subsidiary. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors may impose any terms or conditions on the vesting of an award that it determines to be appropriate. Awards granted generally vest over four years and have a maximum life of ten years. Stock options may be granted at exercise prices of not less than 100% of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock at the grant date; provided, however, that in the case of an incentive stock option granted to an employee who immediately before the grant of such incentive stock option is a significant shareholder-employee, the incentive stock option exercise price shall be at least 110% of the fair market value of the common stock as of the date of grant of the incentive stock option. Restricted stock awards may be granted at the fair market value on the date of the grant.

SARs may be settled in common stock or cash as determined at the date of issuance. SARs settled in cash are recognized on the balance sheet as liability-based awards. The grant-date fair value of liability-based awards vesting in the current period, along with the change in fair value of the awards during the period, are recognized as compensation expense and as an adjustment to the recorded liability. Liability-based awards (including all cash-settled SARs) are anti-dilutive and have no impact on the number of shares available to be issued within the plan.

ISOs, nonqualified stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, and stock-settled SARs are recognized as equity-based awards and compensation expense is recorded to the income statement over the requisite vesting period based on the grant-date fair value.

For the three months ended March 31, 2011, no equity-based awards were granted. For the three months ended March 31, 2010, 1,000 stock-settled SARs were granted with a weighted-average exercise price of $10.30 per share and a grant date fair value of $3.63 per share. 6,000 stock options were exercised during the first quarter 2011 with a weighted average exercise price of $6.38 per share and an intrinsic value of $19. No equity awards were exercised during the first quarter 2010. The fair value of equity-based awards vested during the three months ended March 31, 2011, and 2010 was $253 and $254, respectively.

For the three months ended March 31, 2011, no liability-based awards were granted. No liability-based awards were exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2011, and 2010. The fair value of liability-based awards vested during the three months ended March 31, 2011, and 2010 was $88 and $74, respectively.

The following table identifies the compensation expense recorded and tax benefits received by the Company on its stock-based compensation plans for the three months ended March 31, 2011, and 2010:

	Three months ended
	March 31,
	2011				2010
	Compensation Expense (Benefit)		Tax Benefit (Expense)		Compensation Expense		Tax Benefit
Equity-based awards:

Liability-based awards:
Employee cash SARs		64		24		162		62
	$	179	$	50	$	299	$	91

At March 31, 2011, the Company has estimated unrecognized compensation expense of approximately $331, $526 and $148 for unvested stock options, stock-settled SARs, and cash-settled SARs, respectively. These amounts are based on forfeiture rates of 20% for all awards granted to employees. The weighted-average period of time the unrecognized compensation expense will be recognized for the unvested stock options, SAR stock awards and SAR cash awards is approximately 2.4, 2.6 and 1.8 years, respectively.

7. Fair Value

The following table presents estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments as of March, 31, 2011, December 31, 2010, and March 31, 2010, in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC 825 “Financial Instruments.” The use of different assumptions and estimation methods could have a significant effect on the reported fair value amounts. Accordingly, the estimates of fair value herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that might be realized in a current market exchange.

	March 31, 2011				December 31, 2010				March 31, 2010

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument for which it is practicable to estimate that fair value.

Cash and Cash Equivalents – The carrying amount approximates fair value.

Securities available-for-sale – Fair value is based on quoted market prices. If a quoted market price is not available, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar securities.

Loans Held-for-Sale – Fair value represents the anticipated proceeds from the sale of related loans.

Loans – For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and have no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values. Fair value of fixed-rate loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities. Fair values for impaired loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses or underlying collateral values, where applicable.

Federal Home Loan Bank stock – FHLB stock is valued based on the most recent redemption price.

Interest receivable and payable – The carrying amounts of accrued interest receivable and payable approximate their fair value.

Deposits – Fair value of demand, interest-bearing demand and savings deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. Fair value of time deposits is estimated using the interest rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

Federal Funds Purchased – The carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value because of the short-term nature of these borrowings.

Federal Home Loan Bank and Federal Reserve Bank Borrowings – Fair value of Federal Home Loan Bank and Federal Reserve Bank borrowings are estimated by discounting future cash flows at rates currently available to the Company for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities.

Junior Subordinated Debentures – Fair value of Junior Subordinated Debentures is estimated by discounting future cash flows at rates currently available for debt with similar credit risk, terms and remaining maturities.

Off-Balance-Sheet Financial Instruments – The carrying amount and fair value are based on fees charged for similar commitments and are not material.

The Company also adheres to the FASB guidance with regards to ASC 820, “Fair Value Measures.” This guidance defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The statement requires fair value measurement disclosure of all assets and liabilities that are carried at fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis. The Company determines fair value based upon quoted prices when available or through the use of alternative approaches, such as matrix or model pricing, when market quotes are not readily accessible or available. The valuation techniques used are based on observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s market assumptions. These two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy:

Level 1 – Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs are used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available. The Company’s own data used to develop unobservable inputs is adjusted for market consideration when reasonably available.

Financial instruments, measured at fair value, are broken down in the tables below by recurring and nonrecurring measurement status. Recurring assets are initially measured at fair value and are required to be remeasured at fair value in the financial statements at each reporting date. Assets measured on a nonrecurring basis are assets that, due to an event or circumstance, were required to be remeasured at fair value after initial recognition in the financial statements at some time during the reporting period.

The tables below show assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2011, December 31, 2010, and March 31, 2010:

No transfers to or from Levels 1 and 2 occurred on assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis during the three months ended March 31, 2011, or during the year ended December 31, 2010.

The following is a description of the inputs and valuation methodologies used for assets recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. There have been no significant changes in the valuation techniques during the periods reported.

Fair value for all classes of available-for-sale securities is estimated by obtaining quoted market prices for identical assets, where available. If such prices are not available, fair value is based on independent asset pricing services and models, the inputs of which are market-based or independently sourced market parameters, including but not limited to, yield curves, interest rates, prepayments, defaults, cumulative loss projections, and cash flows.

The tables below show assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as of March 31, 2011, December 31, 2010, and March 31, 2010:

No transfers to or from Level 3 occurred on assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis during the three months ended March 31, 2011, or during the year ended December 31, 2010.

The following is a description of the inputs and valuation methodologies used for assets recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. There have been no significant changes in the valuation techniques during the periods reported.

Loans measured for impairment (net of guarantees) include the estimated fair value of collateral-dependent loans, less collectible government guarantees, as well as certain non collateral-dependent loans measured for impairment with an allocated specific reserve. When a collateral-dependent loan is identified as impaired, the value of the loan is measured using the current fair value of the collateral, less selling costs. The fair value of collateral is generally estimated by obtaining external appraisals which are usually updated every 6 to 12 months based on the nature of the impaired loans. Certain non collateral-dependent loans measured for impairment with an allocated specific reserve are valued based upon the estimated net realizable value of the loan. If the estimated fair value of the impaired loan, less collectible government guarantees, is less than the recorded investment in the loan, impairment is recognized as a charge off through the allowance for loan losses. The carrying value of the loan is adjusted to the estimated fair value. The carrying value of loans fully charged off is zero.

Other real estate owned represents real estate which the Company has taken control of in partial or full satisfaction of loans. At the time of foreclosure, other real estate owned is recorded at the lower of the carrying amount of the loan or fair value less costs to sell, which becomes the property’s new basis. Any write-downs based on the asset’s fair value at the date of acquisition are charged to the allowance for loan losses. After foreclosure, management periodically orders appraisals or performs valuations to ensure that the real estate is carried at the lower of its new cost basis or fair value, net of estimated costs to sell. Appraisals are generally updated every 6 to 12 months on other real estate owned. Fair value adjustments on other real estate owned are recognized within net loss on real estate owned. The loss represents impairments on other real estate owned for fair value adjustments based on the fair value of the real estate.

8. Regulatory Matters:

The Company and the Bank are subject to the regulations of certain federal and state agencies and receive periodic examinations by those regulatory authorities. In addition, they are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory – and possibly additional discretionary – actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the consolidated financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank’s assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Company and the Bank’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of Total and Tier I capital to risk-weighted assets and of Tier I capital to leverage assets. Management believes that, as of March 31, 2011, the Company and the Bank meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.

As of March 31, 2011, and according to Federal Reserve and FDIC guidelines, the Company and the Bank are considered to be well-capitalized. To be categorized as well-capitalized, the Company and the Bank must maintain minimum Total risk-based, Tier I risk-based, and Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in the following table.

The Company’s and the Bank’s actual capital amounts and ratios are presented below:

Item 2 Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion contains a review of Pacific Continental Corporation’s and its wholly-owned subsidiary Pacific Continental Bank’s operating results and financial condition for the three months ended March 31, 2011. When warranted, comparisons are made to the same period in 2010 and to the previous year ended December 31, 2010. The discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements (unaudited) and related notes contained elsewhere in this report. The reader is assumed to have access to the Company’s Form 10-K for the previous year ended December 31, 2010, which contains additional statistics and explanations. All dollar amounts, except per share data, are expressed in thousands of dollars.

In addition to historical information, this report may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about management’s plans, objectives, expectations and intentions that are not historical facts, and other statements identified by words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “should,” “projects,” “seeks,” “estimates” or words of similar meaning. These forward-looking statements are based on current beliefs and expectations of management and are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond the Company’s control. In addition, these forward-looking statements are subject to assumptions with respect to future business strategies and decisions that are subject to change. In addition to the factors set forth in (i) this report, and (ii) the sections titled “Business,” “Risk Factors,” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” from our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K, the following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from the anticipated results:

·	local and national economic conditions could be less favorable than expected or could have a more direct and pronounced effect on us than expected and adversely affect our ability to continue internal growth at historical rates and maintain the quality of our earning assets;

·	the local housing / real estate market could continue to decline;

·	the risks presented by a continued economic recession, which could adversely affect credit quality, collateral values, including real estate collateral, investment values, liquidity and loan originations and loan portfolio delinquency rates;

·	interest rate changes could significantly reduce net interest income and negatively affect funding sources;

·	projected business increases following any future strategic expansion or opening of new branches could be lower than expected;

·	competition among financial institutions could increase significantly;

·	the goodwill we have recorded in connection with acquisitions could become impaired, which may have an adverse impact on our earnings and capital;

·	the reputation of the financial services industry could deteriorate, which could adversely affect our ability to access markets for funding and to acquire and retain customers;

·	the efficiencies we may expect to receive from any investments in personnel, acquisitions and infrastructure may not be realized;

·	the level of non-performing assets and charge-offs or changes in the estimates of future reserve requirements based upon the periodic review thereof under relevant regulatory and accounting requirements may increase;

·	changes in laws and regulations (including laws and regulations concerning taxes, banking, securities, executive compensation and insurance) could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial conditions and results of operations;

·	acts of war or terrorism, or natural disasters, such as the effects of pandemic flu, may adversely impact our business;

·	the timely development and acceptance of new banking products and services and perceived overall value of these products and services by users may adversely impact our ability to increase market share and control expenses;

·	changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by the regulatory agencies, as well as the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the Financial Accounting Standards Board and other accounting standard setters may impact the results of our operations;

·	the costs and effects of legal and regulatory developments including the resolution of legal proceedings or regulatory or other governmental inquiries and the results of regulatory examinations or reviews may adversely impact our ability to increase market share and control expenses; and

·	our success at managing the risks involved in the foregoing items will have a significant impact upon our results of operations and future prospects.

Additional factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements are discussed in Risk Factors in Part II, Item 1A. Please take into account that forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this report or documents incorporated by reference. The Company does not undertake any obligation to publicly correct or update any forward-looking statement if we later become aware that actual results differ from anticipated results.

SUMMARY OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

We follow accounting standards set by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, commonly referred to as the “FASB.” The FASB sets generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) that we follow to ensure we consistently report our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. References to GAAP issued by the FASB in this report are to the “FASB Accounting Standards Codification”, sometimes referred to as the “Codification” or “ASC”. The FASB finalized the Codification effective for periods ending on or after September 15, 2009. Prior FASB Statements, Interpretations, Positions, EITF consensuses, and AICPA Statements of Position are no longer being issued by the FASB. The Codification does not change how the Company accounts for its transactions or the nature of related disclosures made. However, when referring to guidance issued by the FASB, the Company refers to topics in the ASC rather than the specific FASB statement. We have updated references to GAAP in this report to reflect the guidance in the Codification.

The SEC defines “critical accounting policies” as those that require the application of management’s most difficult, subjective, or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in future periods. Significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2010, in Item 8 in the Company’s Form 10-K. Management believes that the following policies and those disclosed in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements should be considered critical under the SEC definition:

Securities

Securities are classified based on management’s intention on the date of purchase and recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of the trade date. Currently the Company has all securities classified as available-for-sale (“AFS”) and carried at fair value with net unrealized gains and losses included in accumulated OCI on an after-tax basis. The Company regularly evaluates each AFS security whose value has declined below amortized cost to assess whether the decline in fair value is other-than-temporary. In determining whether an impairment is other-than-temporary, the Company considers the severity and duration of the decline in fair value, the length of time expected for recovery, the financial condition of the issuer, and other qualitative factors, as well as whether the Company either plans to sell the security or it is more-likely-than-not that it will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost. Beginning in 2009, under new accounting guidance for impairments of debt securities that are deemed to be other-than-temporary, the credit component of an other-than-temporary impairment loss is recognized in earnings and the non-credit component is recognized in accumulated OCI in situations where the Company does not intend to sell the security and it is more-likely-than-not that the Company will not be required to sell the security prior to recovery.

Allowance for Loan Losses and Reserve for Unfunded Commitments

The allowance for outstanding loans is classified as a contra-asset account offsetting outstanding loans, and the allowance for unfunded commitments is classified as an “other” liability on the balance sheet. The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses charged against earnings. The balances of the allowance for loan losses for outstanding loans and unfunded commitments are maintained at amounts management believes will be adequate to absorb known and inherent losses in the loan portfolio and commitments to loan funds. The appropriate balance of the allowance for loan losses is determined by applying loss factors to the credit exposure from outstanding loans and unfunded loan commitments. Estimated loss factors are based on subjective measurements including management’s assessment of the internal risk classifications, changes in the nature of the loan portfolios, industry concentrations, and the impact of current local, regional, and national economic factors on the quality of the loan portfolio. Changes in these estimates and assumptions are reasonably possible and may have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, results of operations, or liquidity.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

At March 31, 2011, the Company had $22,402 in goodwill and intangible assets. In accordance with financial accounting standards, assets with indefinite lives are no longer amortized, but instead are periodically tested for impairment. Management performs an impairment analysis of its goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives at least annually and has determined that there was no impairment as of December 31, 2010.

Share-based Compensation

Consistent with the provisions of FASB ASC 718, Stock Compensation, we recognize expense for the grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity-based forms of compensation issued to employees over the employees’ requisite service period (generally the vesting period). The requisite service period may be subject to performance conditions. The fair value of each option grant is estimated as of the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Management assumptions utilized at the time of grant impact the fair value of the option calculated under the Black-Scholes methodology, and ultimately, the expense that will be recognized over the life of the option. Liability-based stock awards are remeasured at fair value each reporting period. Additional information is included in Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 of this report.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-06, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures – Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements”. This update requires additional disclosure regarding transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2. It also requires the reporting of Level 3 fair value measurements on a gross rather than a net basis. This includes presenting information about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements separately. Additionally, fair value measurement disclosures are required for each class of assets and liabilities with separate disclosures about valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value. The guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the roll forward of activity in the Level 3 fair value measurements. These disclosures are effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2010. The impact of adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In July 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-20, “Receivables: Disclosure about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses.” This update requires additional disclosures on a disaggregated basis on two defined levels: (1) portfolio segment; and (2) class of financing receivable. The disclosures should include credit quality indicators of financing receivables, the aging of past due financing receivables, and the nature and extent of troubled debt restructurings that occurred during the period by class of financing receivables and their effect on the allowance for credit losses. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending on or after December 15, 2010. The impact of adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, but it did result in the significant expansion of the Company’s credit disclosures (see Note 3 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report).

In January 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-01, “Receivables: Deferral of the Effective Date of Disclosures about Troubled Debt Restructurings in Update No. 2010-20.” This update temporarily delays the effective date of the disclosures about troubled debt restructurings in Update 2010-20 for public entities. The delay is intended to allow the FASB time to complete its deliberations on what constitutes a troubled debt restructuring. The effective date of the new disclosures about troubled debt restructurings for public entities and the guidance for determining what constitutes a troubled debt restructuring will then be coordinated and is anticipated to be effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2011. The impact of adoption is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In April 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-02, “Receivables: A Creditors Determination of Whether a Restructuring is a Troubled Debt Restructuring.” This update provides additional guidance and clarification to help creditors in determining whether a creditor has granted a concession and whether the debtor is experiencing financial difficulties for purposes of determining whether a restructuring constitutes a troubled debt restructuring. The amendments in this Update are effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after June 15, 2011, and should be applied retrospectively to the beginning of the annual period of adoption. The impact of adoption is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The Company earned $1,449 in the first quarter 2011, an increase of $346 or 31.4% over first quarter 2010. The improvement in net income in first quarter 2011 was primarily due to a lower provision for loan losses. The first quarter 2011 provision for loan losses was $2,150, compared to $4,250 for first quarter 2010. During the first quarter 2011, the Company released approximately $1,300 of its allowance for loan losses as net charge offs in the current quarter were $3,493, compared to a provision for loan losses of $2,150. The release of reserves was warranted by improved credit quality statistics and a reduction in the level of classified loans.

A portion of the improvement in net income due to the lower provision for loan losses was offset by higher noninterest expense. Noninterest expense was for first quarter 2011 was up $1,132 or 13.8% over the same quarter last year. The increase in noninterest expense was primarily due to higher costs associated with collection of problem loans and foreclosed properties as evidenced by the $867 increase in other real estate expense.

Operating revenue, which consists of net interest income and noninterest income, was $13,732 for the first quarter 2011, down $422 from first quarter 2010. Operating revenue was negatively impacted by the change in earning asset mix as lower yielding securities increased proportionally as a percentage of total earning assets. The Company’s net interest margin, however, remained strong at 4.66%, up 6 basis points on a linked-quarter basis.

Period-end assets at March 31, 2011, were $1,202,535, a modest increase compared to $1,188,384 at March 31, 2010. The increase in period-end assets was primarily attributable to growth in the Company’s securities portfolio as outstanding loans at March 31, 2011, were down significantly from the same period last year. Core deposits, which are defined as demand deposits, interest checking, money market accounts, and local time deposits (including local time deposits over $100) were $873,784 and constituted 94.3% of March 31, 2011, outstanding deposits. Noninterest -bearing deposits (a subset of core deposits) were $247,223 or 26.7% of total deposits and $211,846 or 24.6% at March 31, 2011, and March 31, 2010, respectively.

Reconciliation of non-GAAP financial information

Management utilizes certain non-GAAP financial measures to monitor the Company’s performance. While we believe the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures provides additional insight into our operating performance, readers of this report are urged to review the GAAP results as presented in the Financial Statements in Item 1 of this report.

The Company presents a computation of tangible equity along with tangible book value and return on average tangible equity. The Company defines tangible equity as total shareholders’ equity before goodwill and core deposit intangible assets. Tangible book value is calculated as tangible equity divided by total shares outstanding. Return on average tangible equity is calculated as net income divided by average tangible equity. We believe that tangible equity and certain tangible equity ratios are meaningful measures of capital adequacy which may be used when making period-to-period and company-to-company comparisons. Tangible equity and tangible equity ratios are considered to be non-GAAP financial measures and should be viewed in conjunction with total shareholders’ equity, book value and return on average equity. The following table presents a reconciliation of total shareholders’ equity to tangible equity.

	March 31,			December 31,			March 31,
	2011			2010			2010
Total shareholders' equity	$	173,750		$	172,238		$	167,808
Subtract:
Goodwill		(22,031	)		(22,031	)		(22,031	)
Core deposit intangible assets		(371	)		(427	)		(594	)
Tangible shareholders' equity (non-GAAP)	$	151,348		$	149,780		$	145,183


Book value	$	9.43		$	9.35		$	9.12
Tangible book value (non-GAAP)	$	8.22		$	8.13		$	7.89


Return on average equity		3.40	%		1.57	%		2.67	%
Return on average tangible equity (non-GAAP)		3.90	%		1.81	%		3.08	%

Non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations, are not required to be uniformly applied, and are not audited. Although we believe these non-GAAP financial measure are frequently used by stakeholders in the evaluation of a company, they have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analyses of results as reported under GAAP.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Interest Income

Net interest income is the primary source of the Company’s revenue. Net interest income is the difference between interest income derived from earning assets, principally loans, and interest expense associated with interest-bearing liabilities, principally deposits. The volume and mix of earning assets and funding sources, market rates of interest, demand for loans, and the availability of deposits affect net interest income.

The net interest margin as a percentage of average earning assets for the first quarter 2011 was 4.66%, up 6 basis points over the net interest margin for the fourth quarter 2010, but down 20 basis points from the 4.86% margin reported for first quarter 2010. The linked-quarter improvement in the net interest margin was primarily due to a decline in the Company’s cost of funds as the cost of interest-bearing liabilities dropped by 17 basis points in first quarter 2011 when compared to fourth quarter 2010. A portion of the improvement in the Company’s cost of funds was offset by a continued drop in earning asset yields due to the proportional increase in lower yielding securities as a percentage of total earning assets.

Despite the change that has occurred in the mix of earning assets and the elevated levels of nonperforming loans, the Company’s net interest margin continues to remain high relative to peers. A number of factors contribute to this performance including the historically low cost of short-term funding, less pricing pressure on loan rates due to changes in the competitive landscape, and the Company’s practice of using floors on variable rate loans has successfully stabilized loan yields despite the low interest rate environment. At March 31, 2011, interest rate floors were active on approximately $246,400 of prime-based variable rate loans.

Looking forward to second quarter 2011, the Company expects a relatively stable net interest margin with some potential for slight improvement. This expectation is based on anticipated growth in net loans, which would enhance the earning asset mix, and further reductions in the cost of core deposits. However, in this challenging economic environment events may occur that can create volatility in the reported net interest margin including interest reversed on loans placed on nonaccrual status and interest lost on nonperforming loans as well as positives such as interest recoveries.

The following table presents condensed balance sheet information, together with interest income and yields on average interest earning assets, and interest expense and rates on interest-bearing liabilities for the quarter ended March 31, 2011, compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2010:

Table I above shows that earning asset yields declined by 44 basis points in first quarter 2011 from first quarter 2010 from 6.01% to 5.57%. This decline in earning asset yields was primarily attributable to a significant change in the earning asset mix in first quarter 2011 when compared to the same quarter last year, combined with a 47 basis point decline in the yield on the securities portfolio. In first quarter 2011, average securities held-for sale with a weighted average yield of 3.17% totaled $260,982 and represented 23.8% of total average earning assets and loans yielding 6.32% represented 76.1% of total average earning assets. This compares to first quarter 2010, when the average securities portfolio was $172,809 and with a weighted-average yield of 3.64% represented 15.8% of total average earning assets, while loans yielding 6.46% represented 84.2% of total average earning assets.

Table I also illustrates the change in funding mix between core deposits and wholesale funding as evidenced by the increase in average interest-bearing core deposits of $46,494 or 8.0% in first quarter 2011 when compared to the same quarter last year, while noninterest-bearing deposits increased $52,236 or 26.8%. On the other hand, due to the increase in interest-bearing core deposits and the increase in noninterest-bearing deposits, the use of wholesale funding declined by $96,203 or 39.5% in first quarter 2011 when compared to first quarter 2010.

While earning asset yields dropped 44 basis points in first quarter 2011 compared to first quarter 2010, the cost of interest-bearing liabilities declined by only 24 basis points. Table I shows that the cost of interest-bearing core deposits fell by 29 basis points from 1.37% in first quarter 2010 to 1.08% in first quarter 2011, and declines in rates are evident in all core deposit categories. However, the cost of wholesale funding moved up from 1.90% in first quarter 2010 to 2.13% in first quarter 2011. This increase in wholesale funding costs was due to higher rates on non-core time deposits as the Company extended maturities on its brokered deposit portfolio to mitigate its liability sensitive position. The increase in rates on brokered time deposits was partially offset by a decline on the rate paid on trust preferred securities that was effective in January 2011.

The following table sets forth a summary of changes in net interest income due to changes in average asset and liability balances (volume) and changes in average rates (rate) for the quarters ended March 31, 2011, and March 31, 2010.

The year-to-date March 31, 2011, rate/volume analysis shows that first quarter 2011 net interest income decreased by $527 from first quarter 2010. First quarter 2011 interest income including loan fees declined by $1,174 from last year with lower volumes of earning assets decreasing interest income by $597, combined with a $577 decline in interest income due to lower rates. Interest expense in first quarter 2011 was down $647 when compared to first quarter 2010. The rate/volume analysis shows interest expense on both core deposits and wholesale funding fell by $282 and $365, respectively. Both lower volumes and changes in the mix of volumes lowered interest expense by $129, while lower rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities decreased interest expense by $518.

Loan Loss Provision and Allowance

Below is a summary of the Company’s allowance for loan losses for the three months ended March 31, 2011, and March 31, 2010:

	Three months ended
	March 31,
	2011			2010
Balance, beginning of period	$	16,570		$	13,367
Provision charged to income		2,150			4,250
Loans charged against allowance		(3,613	)		(4,911	)
Recoveries credited to allowance		120			2,151
Balance, end of period	$	15,227		$	14,857

The year-to-date March 31, 2011, provision for loan losses was $2,150, compared to $4,250 for the same period last year. The decrease in the provision for loan losses was attributable to a drop in net loan charge offs, lower levels of nonperforming loans, and improved credit quality. During the first quarter 2011, the Company released $1,343 of its reserves for loan losses as net charge offs for the current quarter exceeded the provision in the quarter. The Company believes this release of reserves was warranted by the decline of $12,340 in classified loans (substandard and doubtful classifications) during the current quarter when compared to year-end 2010. The Company did experience an increase in the level of loans past due 30 to 89 days of $2,048 at March 31, 2011, when compared to December 31, 2010, however approximately $5,000 of the past due loans in this range are centered in three loans and resolution is expected during second quarter 2011. Note 3 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this report provides details on credit quality statistics at March 31, 2011.

Year-to-date March 31, 2011, net charge-offs were $3,493 or an annualized 1.67% of average loans, as compared to net charge-offs of $2,760 or an annualized 1.20% of average loans reported for the same quarter in 2010. On a linked-quarter basis, net charge offs for the first quarter 2011 were down $956 from fourth quarter 2010.

The allowance for loan losses at March 31, 2011, was 1.81% of the period end loans net of loans held-for-sale, compared to 1.93% and 1.60% at December 31, 2010, and March 31, 2010, respectively. At March 31, 2011, the unallocated portion of the allowance for loan losses was $1,506 or 9.9% of the total allowance. The ending allowance at March 31, 2011, includes $909 in specific allowance for impaired loans, which total $50,679. At December 31, 2010, the Company had $54,540 of impaired loans with a specific allowance of $1,584 assigned.

The following table shows a summary of nonaccrual loans, loans past due 90 days or more, and other real estate owned for the periods covered in this report:

Nonperforming assets at March 31, 2011, declined $10,358 from the same period last year, and on a linked-quarter basis declined $2,133 from the end of fourth quarter 2010. Nonperforming loans at March 31, 2011, decreased $20,235 from the same period last year, and declined $1,875 since the end of fourth quarter 2010. The $1,875 reduction in linked-quarter nonperforming loans was made up of $4,973 in additions to nonperforming loans, offset by $3,685 in loan paydowns, $2,802 in charge-offs, and $361 in transfers to other real estate owned. The economic conditions in the Northwest continue to be weak, particularly with respect to real estate, thus further additions to nonperforming loans are possible in future quarters. However, the Company does have pending resolutions on a number of nonperforming assets that are expected to reduce the level of nonperforming assets over the next three quarters.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income through March 31, 2011, was $1,150, up $105 or 10% from the same period in 2010. All categories of noninterest income show improvement in first quarter 2011 when compared to the same quarter last year, with the exception of the small loss on the sale of securities during first quarter 2011. Other fees, primarily merchant bankcard, continued to show significant improvement up $61 or 19% in first quarter over the same period last year as both transaction volumes and margins continued to improve. Service charges on deposit accounts and the other income category also showed small increases of $20 or 5% and $15 or 6%. The increase in the other income category was primarily related to increased business credit card interchange and rental income related to other real estate owned.

On a linked-quarter basis, first quarter 2011 noninterest income was down $340 from fourth quarter 2010. The drop in first quarter 2011 noninterest income was primarily attributable to a seasonal decrease in merchant bankcard fees, revenues from the origination of residential mortgages, and the other income category. The decline in the other income category was due to the $164 thousand of one-time revenues booked in fourth quarter 2010 associated with rental income on other real estate owned and fees associated with the settlement of a problem loan.

Looking forward to the second quarter 2011, the Company expects noninterest income will be up modestly relative to the first quarter 2011 as merchant bankcard fees and mortgage revenues typically see a seasonal increase.

Noninterest Expense

Year-to-date March 31, 2011, noninterest expense was $9,345, up $1,132 or 14% over the same period in 2010. All categories of expense showed an increase with the exception of personnel expense, which was down $121 from the same period last year. The decline in personnel expense was primarily related to lower group insurance costs, combined with higher loan origination costs, which offset increases in base salary expense. The largest increases in noninterest expense categories were in three categories: 1) business development; 2) other real estate; and 3) the other expense category. Business development expense was up $66 or 21% as a result of increased marketing activities. The increase in other real estate expense resulted primarily from $843 of valuation write downs during first quarter 2011 of which $517 was related to a single property. The other noninterest expense category increase was $250 or up 16% and related to increases in a number of individual categories, most of which was attributable to resolution activities on problem loans and foreclosed properties as repossession and collection expense was up $104 and legal fees were up $53.

On a linked-quarter basis, first quarter 2011 noninterest expense was up $557 over fourth quarter 2010. This increase was primarily due to a $542 increase in other real estate expense during the current quarter that was partially offset by declines in other categories of expense. The increased other real estate expense was the result of valuation write downs recorded during the first quarter 2011.

Looking forward to the second quarter 2011, the Company believes noninterest expense will be down from first quarter 2011 levels due to anticipated reductions in FDIC assessments and a reasonable expectation of lower expenses related to problem assets. However, since real estate values have not fully stabilized and current appraisals show trends of lower valuations, our noninterest expenses are subject to volatility, particularly with respect to other real estate expenses and potential valuation write downs in future quarters.

BALANCE SHEET

Loans

At March 31, 2011, outstanding loans, net of fees were $841,693, a decline of $84,781 and $14,692 from March 31, 2010, and December 31, 2010, respectively. A summary of outstanding loans by market at March 31, 2011, December 31, 2010, and March 31, 2010, follows:

	March 31,		December 31,		March 31,
	2011		2010		2010
Eugene market loans, net of fees, period end	$	254,719	$	256,979	$	260,754
Portland market loans, net of fees, period end		403,575		404,965		429,064
Seattle market loans, net of fees, period end		183,399		194,441		236,656
Total loans, net of fees, period end	$	841,693	$	856,385	$	926,474

All three of the Company’s primary markets showed a decline in outstanding loans at March 31, 2011, when compared to December 31, 2010, and March 31, 2010. The year-over-year decrease in Portland and Seattle market loans was most pronounced with Portland market loans declining 5.9% and Seattle market loans down 22.5%. The decline in loans in these markets was primarily related to a planned contraction in residential and commercial construction loans in these two markets. A portion of the contraction in these two markets was offset by increased commercial and industrial loans, primarily related to new loans in the health care industry, including dental related loans. The Eugene market on the other hand saw less contraction in outstanding loans from the prior year as this market was not as exposed to real estate lending, thus new production nearly offset contraction. Outstanding commercial and industrial loans at March 31, 2011, were up $20,453 or 7.8% over the same period last year. On a linked-quarter basis, commercial and industrial loans at March 31, 2011, were up $10,776 or 4.4% over December 31, 2010 levels. All three markets showed increased commercial and industrial loan activity. The Company believes expansion of its commercial and industrial loan activity will continue to accelerate during 2011 and that contraction in loans secured by real estate will abate resulting in growth in net outstanding loans throughout the remainder of the year.

The Company continued to expand outstanding loans to dental professionals during first quarter 2011. Outstanding loans to dental professionals at March 31, 2011, totaled $182,258 and represented 21.6% of total outstanding loans compared to dental professional loans of $177,229 or 20.7% at December 31, 2010, and $160,976 or 17.4% at March 31, 2010. In addition to growth in the dental industry, growth was also experienced in the wider health care field with loans to physicians, surgeons, optometrists, family practitioners, and medical specialists.

Securities

At March 31, 2011, the securities available-for-sale totaled $270,792, up $16,885 over December 31, 2010, and up $92,154 over March 31, 2010. At March 31, 2011, the portfolio had an unrealized taxable gain of $2,098 compared to an unrealized taxable gain of $1,956 at December 31, 2010. During first quarter 2011, the Company purchased $37,054 in new securities, while receiving $16,193 in cash flow from the portfolio and $3,179 in proceeds from the sale of three securities. The sale of the three securities resulted in a loss of $9 as management sought to reposition a small portion of the Company’s portfolio. Purchases during the first quarter 2011 were high-quality agency mortgage-backed securities and longer-term tax-exempt municipals. At March 31, 2011, taxable and tax-exempt municipal securities were $34,459 and comprised 12.7% of the total portfolio. Management has exercised caution in its purchases of municipals, relying on credit reports. The municipal portion of the portfolio is diversified geographically with some areas being avoided, and the Company does not have significant exposure to any single municipality. The first quarter 2011 purchases supported the Company’s strategy of positioning the securities portfolio to provide earnings in light of declining loan volumes and growth in core deposits and hedge the balance sheet against a rates-up scenario due to the Company’s liability sensitive position. In an unchanged rate environment, the portfolio is expected to produce cash flow of approximately $44,200, primarily from the mortgage-backed portion of the portfolio. At March 31, 2011, the portfolio had an average life of 3.7 years and duration of 3.3 years, virtually unchanged from the average life and duration at December 31, 2010. Going forward, the portfolio is expected to increase moderately and purchases will be dependent upon core deposit growth, loan growth, and the Company’s interest rate risk position.

At March 31, 2011, $16,948 or 6.3% of the total securities portfolio was composed of private-label mortgage-backed securities. Management reviews monthly all available information, including current and projected default rates and current and projected loss severities, related to the collectability of its potentially impaired investment securities and determined no OTTI was required during first quarter 2011. However, recognition of OTTI on the private-label mortgage-backed portion of the portfolio is possible in future quarters depending upon economic conditions, default rates on home mortgages, loss severities on foreclosed homes, unemployment levels, and home values.

In management’s opinion, the remaining securities in the portfolio in an unrealized loss position are considered only temporarily impaired. The Company has no intent, nor is it more likely than not, that it will be required to sell these securities before their recovery. Management believes that substantially all decreases in fair value of the remaining securities are due to changes in market interest rates or the widening of market spreads subsequent to the initial purchase of the securities, and not due to concerns regarding the underlying credit of the issuers or the underlying collateral. The decline in value of these securities has resulted from current economic conditions. Although yields on these securities may be below market rates during the period, no loss of principal is expected.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

At March 31, 2011, the Company had a recorded balance of $22,031 in goodwill from the November 30, 2005 acquisition of Northwest Business Financial Corporation (“NWBF”). In addition, at March 31, 2011, the Company had $371 of core deposit intangible assets resulting from the acquisition of NWBF. The core deposit intangible was determined to have an expected life of approximately seven years and is being amortized over that period using the straight-line method and has approximately two years remaining on the amortization schedule. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, the Company does not amortize goodwill or other intangible assets with indefinite lives, but instead periodically tests these assets for impairment. Management performs an impairment analysis of the intangible assets with indefinite lives at least annually. The last impairment test was performed at December 31, 2010, at which time no impairment was determined to exist.

Deposits

Core deposits, which are defined by the Company as demand, interest checking, money market, savings, and non-public local time deposits, including non-public local time deposits in excess of $100, were $873,784 and represented 94% of total deposits at March 31, 2011. Outstanding core deposits at March 31, 2011, were up $98,501 or 13% over the same period last year. All three of the Company’s primary markets had strong growth in core deposits over the past year. During the first quarter 2011, the Company experienced a significant decline in outstanding core deposits, which were down $22,054. The decline in outstanding core deposits was centered in the Eugene Market and was the result of temporary balances on deposit with the Company at December 31, 2010, primarily centered in a single large depositor client.

A summary of outstanding core deposits and average core deposits by market and other deposits classified as wholesale funding at March 31, 2011, December 31, 2010, and March 31, 2010 follows:

Junior Subordinated Debentures

The Company had $8,248 in junior subordinated debentures at March 31, 2011, which were issued in conjunction with the acquisition of NWBF and had an interest rate of 6.265% that was fixed through January 2011. In January 2011, the rate on the junior subordinated debentures changed to three-month LIBOR plus 135 basis points. The current rate on the junior subordinated debentures is 1.65%. At March 31, 2011, the entire balance of the junior subordinated debentures qualified as Tier 1 capital under regulatory capital guidelines.

In July 2010, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (“Dodd-Frank Act”) was signed into law which, among other things, limits the ability of certain bank holding companies to treat trust preferred security debt issuances, such as the Company’s junior subordinated debentures, as Tier 1 capital. This law may require many banks to raise new Tier 1 capital and will effectively close the trust-preferred securities markets from offering new issuances in the future. Since the Company had less than $15 billion in assets at December 31, 2009, under the Dodd-Frank Act, the Company will be able to continue to include its existing trust preferred securities in Tier 1 capital.

Additional information regarding the terms of the junior subordinated debentures, including maturity/repricing dates and interest rate, is included in Note 10 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s 2010 annual Form 10-K.

Capital Resources

Capital is the shareholders’ investment in the Company. Capital grows through the retention of earnings and the issuance of new stock whether through stock offerings or through the exercise of stock options. Capital formation allows the Company to grow assets and provides flexibility in times of adversity.

Shareholders’ equity at March 31, 2011, was $173,750, an increase of $5,942 over March 31, 2010, and an increase of $1,512 over December 31, 2010. The increase in shareholders’ equity resulted from retained earnings.

The Federal Reserve Board and the FDIC have in place guidelines for risk-based capital requirements applicable to U.S. bank holding companies and banks. These risk-based capital guidelines take into consideration risk factors, as defined by regulation, associated with various categories of assets, both on and off-balance sheet. Under the guidelines, capital strength is measured in three ways, first by measuring Tier 1 capital to leverage assets, followed by capital measurement in two tiers, which are used in conjunction with risk-adjusted assets to determine the risk-based capital ratios. These guidelines require a minimum of 4% Tier 1 capital to leverage assets, 4% Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets, and 8% total capital to risk-weighted assets. In order to be classified as well-capitalized, the highest capital rating, by the Federal Reserve and FDIC, these three ratios must be in excess of 5.00%, 6.00%, and 10.00%, respectively. The Company’s leverage capital ratio, Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio, and Total risk-based capital ratio were 13.42%, 16.93%, and 18.18%, respectively at March 31, 2011, all ratios being well above the minimum well-capitalized designation.

The Company pays cash dividends on a quarterly basis, typically in March, June, September and December of each year. The Board of Directors considers the dividend amount quarterly and takes a broad perspective in its dividend deliberations including a review of recent operating performance, capital levels, and concentrations of loans as a percentage of capital, and growth projections. The Board also considers dividend payout ratios, dividend yield, and other financial metrics in setting the quarterly dividend.

The Board of Directors, at its February 15, 2011, meeting, approved a dividend of $0.01 per share that was paid on March 15, 2011. The Company has sufficient liquidity to maintain this level of dividend throughout 2011 if approved by regulators and would not require any dividend from the Bank to the Company in support of this level of cash dividend to shareholders.

The Company projects that earnings retention in 2011 and existing capital will be sufficient to fund anticipated organic asset growth, while maintaining a well-capitalized designation from all regulatory agencies.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS AND COMMITMENTS

In the normal course of business, the Company commits to extensions of credit and issues letters of credit. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments to lend funds and conditional obligations as it does for other credit products. In the event of nonperformance by the customer, the Company’s exposure to credit loss is represented by the contractual amount of the instruments. Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established by the contract. Since some commitments may expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. At March 31, 2011, the Company had $97,689 in commitments to extend credit.

Letters of credit written are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee performance of a customer to a third party. The credit risk involved is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. At March 31, 2011, the Company had $1,258 in letters of credit and financial guarantees written.

LIQUIDITY AND CASH FLOWS

Liquidity is the term used to define the Company’s ability to meet its financial commitments. The Company maintains sufficient liquidity to ensure funds are available for both lending needs and the withdrawal of deposit funds. The Company derives liquidity through core deposit growth, maturity of investment securities, and loan payments. Core deposits include demand, interest checking, money market, savings, and local time deposits, including local non-public time deposits in excess of $100. Additional liquidity and funding sources are provided through the sale of loans, sales of securities, access to national CD markets, and both secured and unsecured borrowings. The Company uses a number of measurements to monitor its liquidity position on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis, which includes its ability to meet both short-term and long-term obligations, and requires the Company to maintain a certain amount of liquidity on the asset side of its balance sheet. The Company also prepares quarterly projections of its liquidity position 30 days, 90 days, 180 days, and 1 year into the future. In addition, the Company prepares a Liquidity Contingency Plan at least semi-annually that is strategic in nature and forward-looking to test the ability of the Company to fund a liquidity shortfall arising from various escalating events. The Liquidity Contingency Plan is presented and reviewed by the Company’s Asset and Liability Committee.

Core deposits at March 31, 2011, were $873,784 and represented 94% of total deposits. During first quarter 2011, the Company experienced a decline in its core deposit base, which was primarily the result of temporary balances held by a single large depositor at the Company on December 31, 2010. These temporary funds moved out of the Company during January 2011. The Company also continued to experience a decline in outstanding loans during the current quarter, which offset the decline in core deposits and combined with moderate growth in the securities portfolio, the Company’s overall liquidity position improved. Over the last year, the Company has built up significant liquidity on the asset side of the balance sheet through growth in the securities portfolio. The securities portfolio represents 23% of total assets at March 31, 2011, compared to 15% at March 31, 2010. At March 31, 2011, $19,100 of the securities portfolio was pledged to support public deposits and a portion of the Company’s secured borrowing line at the FHLB leaving $251,692 of the securities portfolio unencumbered and available-for-sale. In addition, at March 31, 2011, the Company had $41,990 of government guaranteed loans that could be sold in the secondary market to support the Company’s liquidity position.

Due to its strategic focus to market to specific segments, the Company has been successful in developing deposit relationships with several large clients, which are generally defined as deposit relationships of $1,000 or more, which are closely monitored by management and Company officers. At March 31, 2011, 34 large deposit relationships with the Company account for $303,546 or 35% of total outstanding core deposits. The single largest client represented 6.4% of outstanding core deposits at March 31, 2011. The loss of this deposit relationship or other large deposit relationships could cause an adverse effect on short-term liquidity. The Company uses a 10-point risk-rating system to evaluate each of its large depositors in order to assist management in its daily monitoring of the volatility of this portion of its core deposit base. The risk-rating system attempts to determine the stability of the deposits of each large depositor, evaluating among other things the length of time the depositor has been with the Company and the likelihood of loss of individual large depositor relationships. Risk ratings on large depositors are reviewed at least quarterly and adjusted if necessary. Company management and officers maintain close relationships and hold regular meetings with its large depositors to assist in management of these relationships. The Company expects to maintain these relationships and believes it has sufficient sources of liquidity to mitigate the loss of one or more of these clients and regularly tests its ability to mitigate the loss of multiple large depositor relationships in its Liquidity Contingency Plan.

At March 31, 2011, the Company had secured borrowing lines with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Seattle (“FHLB”) and the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco (“FRB”), along with unsecured borrowing lines with various correspondent banks totaling $340,274. The Company’s secured lines with the FHLB and FRB were limited by the amount of collateral pledged. At March 31, 2011, the Company had pledged $145,647 in discounted collateral value in commercial real estate loans, first and second lien single-family residential loans, multi-family loans, and securities to the FHLB. Additionally, certain commercial and commercial real estate loans with a discounted value of $106,627 were pledged to the FRB under the Company’s Borrower-In-Custody program. The Company’s unsecured correspondent bank lines were $88,000. At March 31, 2011, the Company had $91,500 in borrowings outstanding from the FHLB, $0 outstanding with the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, and $0 outstanding on its overnight correspondent bank lines, leaving a total of $248,774 available on it secured and unsecured borrowing lines.

As disclosed in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows in Item 1 of this report, net cash provided by operating activities was $7,086 during the three months ended March 31, 2011. The difference between cash provided by operating activities and net income largely consisted of non-cash items including a $2,150 provision for loan losses. Net cash of $6,942 was used in investing activities, consisting principally of $37,054 in purchases of investment securities which was partially offset by net loan principal collections of $10,798 and proceeds from investment securities of $19,372. Cash used by financing activities was $8,229 and primarily consisted of a decrease in deposits of $32,589 which was partially offset by a net increase of $24,500 in FHLB and other borrowings.

Item 3 Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

There has been no material change in the Company’s exposure to market risk. Readers are referred to the Company’s Form 10-K and the Annual Report to Shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2010, for specific discussion.

Item 4 Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 240.13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of March 31, 2011, the measurement date for purposes of this quarterly report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s current disclosure controls and procedures are effective, timely providing them with material information relating to the Company required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act.

Changes in Internal Controls

There have not been any significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors during the first quarter of 2011 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. We are not aware of any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in our internal controls, therefore no corrective actions were taken.

Part II Other Information

Item 1 Legal Proceedings

As of the date of this report, neither the Company nor the Bank or any of its subsidiaries is party to any material pending legal proceedings, including proceedings of governmental authorities, other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to the business of the Bank.

Item 1A Risk Factors

The continued challenging economic environment could have a material adverse effect on our future results of operations or market price of our stock.

The national economy and the financial services sector in particular, are still facing significant challenges. Substantially all of our loans are to businesses and individuals in western Washington and Oregon, markets facing many of the same challenges as the national economy, including elevated unemployment and declines in commercial and residential real estate values. Although some economic indicators are improving both nationally and in the markets we serve, unemployment remains high and there remains substantial uncertainty regarding when and how strongly a sustained economic recovery will occur. A further deterioration in economic conditions in the nation as a whole or in the markets we serve could result in the following consequences, any of which could have an adverse impact, which may be material, on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects, and could also cause the market price of our stock to decline:

·	economic conditions may worsen, increasing the likelihood of credit defaults by borrowers;

·	loan collateral values, especially as they relate to commercial and residential real estate, may decline further, thereby increasing the severity of loss in the event of loan defaults;

·	demand for banking products and services may decline, including loan products and services for low cost and non-interest-bearing deposits; and

·	changes and volatility in interest rates may negatively impact the yields on earning assets and the cost of interest-bearing liabilities.

Our allowance for loan losses may not be adequate to cover actual loan losses, which could adversely affect our earnings.

We maintain an allowance for loan losses in an amount that we believe is adequate to provide for losses inherent in our loan portfolio. While we strive to carefully manage and monitor credit quality and to identify loans that may be deteriorating, at any time there are loans included in the portfolio that may result in losses, but that have not yet been identified as potential problem loans. Through established credit practices, we attempt to identify deteriorating loans and adjust the loan loss reserve accordingly. However, because future events are uncertain, there may be loans that deteriorate in an accelerated time frame. As a result, future additions to the allowance at elevated levels may be necessary. Because the loan portfolio contains a number of commercial real estate loans with relatively large balances, deterioration in the credit quality of one or more of these loans may require a significant increase to the allowance for loan losses. Future additions to the allowance may also be required based on changes in the financial condition of borrowers, such as have resulted due to the current, and potentially worsening, economic conditions. Additionally, federal banking regulators, as an integral part of their supervisory function, periodically review our allowance for loan losses. These regulatory agencies may require us to recognize further loan loss provisions or charge-offs based upon their judgments, which may be different from ours. Any increase in the allowance for loan losses would have an adverse effect, which may be material, on our financial condition and results of operations.

Concentration in real estate loans and the deterioration in the real estate markets we serve could require material increases in our allowance for loan losses and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

The recent economic downturn and sluggish recovery is significantly impacting our market area. We have a high degree of concentration in loans secured by real estate (see Note 3 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report). Further deterioration in the local economies we serve could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations due to a weakening of our borrowers’ ability to repay these loans and a decline in the value of the collateral securing them. Our ability to recover on these loans by selling or disposing of the underlying real estate collateral is adversely impacted by declining real estate values, which increases the likelihood we will suffer losses on defaulted loans secured by real estate beyond the amounts provided for in the allowance for loan losses. This, in turn, could require material increases in our allowance for loan losses and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations, perhaps materially.

Non-performing assets take significant time to resolve and adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

At March 31, 2011, our non-performing loans (which include all nonaccrual loans, net of government guarantees) were 3.61% of the loan portfolio. At March 31, 2011, our non-performing assets (which include foreclosed real estate) were 3.67% of total assets. These levels of non-performing loans and assets are at elevated levels compared to historical norms. Non-performing loans and assets adversely affect our net income in various ways. Until economic and market conditions improve, we may expect to continue to incur losses relating to non-performing assets. We generally do not record interest income on non-performing loans or other real estate owned, thereby adversely affecting our income, and increasing our loan administration costs. When we take collateral in foreclosures and similar proceedings, we are required to mark the related asset to the then fair market value of the collateral, which may ultimately result in a loss. An increase in the level of non-performing assets increases our risk profile and may impact the capital levels our regulators believe are appropriate in light of the ensuing risk profile. While we reduce problem assets through loan sales, workouts, and restructurings and otherwise, decreases in the value of the underlying collateral, or in these borrowers’ performance or financial condition, whether or not due to economic and market conditions beyond our control, could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition, perhaps materially. In addition, the resolution of non-performing assets requires significant commitments of time from management and our directors, which can be detrimental to the performance of their other responsibilities. There can be no assurance that we will not experience future increases in non-performing assets.

Tightening of credit markets and liquidity risk could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

A tightening of the credit markets or any inability to obtain adequate funds for continued loan growth at an acceptable cost could adversely affect our asset growth and liquidity position and, therefore, our earnings capability. In addition to core deposit growth, maturity of investment securities and loan payments, the Company also relies on wholesale funding sources including unsecured borrowing lines with correspondent banks, secured borrowing lines with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Seattle and the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, public time certificates of deposits and out of area and brokered time certificates of deposit. Our ability to access these sources could be impaired by deterioration in our financial condition as well as factors that are not specific to us, such as a disruption in the financial markets or negative views and expectations for the financial services industry or serious dislocation in the general credit markets. In the event such disruption should occur, our ability to access these sources could be adversely affected, both as to price and availability, which would limit, or potentially raise the cost of, the funds available to the Company.

The FDIC has increased insurance premiums to rebuild and maintain the federal deposit insurance fund and there may be additional future premium increases and special assessments.

In 2009, the FDIC imposed a special deposit insurance assessment of five basis points on all insured institutions, and also required insured institutions to prepay estimated quarterly risk-based assessments through 2012.

The Dodd-Frank Act established 1.35% as the minimum deposit insurance fund reserve ratio. The FDIC has determined that the fund reserve ratio should be 2.0% and has adopted a plan under which it will meet the statutory minimum fund reserve ratio of 1.35% by the statutory deadline of September 30, 2020. The Dodd-Frank Act requires the FDIC to offset the effect on institutions with assets less than $10 billion of the increase in the statutory minimum fund reserve ratio to 1.35% from the former statutory minimum of 1.15%. The FDIC has not announced how it will implement this offset or how larger institutions will be affected by it.

Despite the FDIC’s actions to restore the deposit insurance fund, the fund will suffer additional losses in the future due to failures of insured institutions. There can be no assurance that there will not be additional significant deposit insurance premium increases, special assessments or prepayments in order to restore the insurance fund’s reserve ratio. Any significant premium increases or special assessments could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

We may not have the ability to continue paying dividends on our common stock at current or historic levels.

Our ability to pay dividends on our common stock depends on a variety of factors. On February 16, 2011, we announced a quarterly dividend of $0.01 per share, payable March 15, 2011, which was a continuation of the prior quarter’s dividend. For the year 2010, the Company paid $0.04 per share in dividends. There can be no assurance that we will be able to continue paying quarterly dividends commensurate with historic levels, if at all. Cash dividends will depend on sufficient earnings to support them and approval of appropriate bank regulatory authorities.

We may be required, in the future, to recognize impairment with respect to investment securities, including the FHLB stock we hold.

Our securities portfolio contains whole loan private mortgage-backed securities and municipal securities and currently includes securities with unrecognized losses. We may continue to observe volatility in the fair market value of these securities. We evaluate the securities portfolio for any other-than-temporary-impairment (“OTTI”) each reporting period, as required by generally accepted accounting principles. In the second quarter of 2010, we recognized OTTI of $226 on five of our private-label mortgage-backed securities. There can be no assurance that future evaluations of the securities portfolio will not require us to recognize additional impairment charges with respect to these and other holdings. The credit quality of securities issued by certain municipalities has deteriorated in recent quarters. Although management does not believe the credit quality of the Company’s municipal securities has similarly deteriorated, there can be no assurance that such deterioration will not occur in the future.

In addition, as a condition to membership in the Federal Home Loan Bank of Seattle (“FHLB”), we are required to purchase and hold a certain amount of FHLB stock. Our stock purchase requirement is based, in part, upon the outstanding principal balance of advances from the FHLB. At March 31, 2011, we had stock in the FHLB of Seattle totaling $10,652. The FHLB stock held by us is carried at cost and is subject to recoverability testing under applicable accounting standards. The FHLB has discontinued the repurchase of their stock and discontinued the distribution of dividends. As of March 31, 2011, we did not recognize an impairment charge related to our FHLB stock holdings. There can be no assurance, however, that future negative changes to the financial condition of the FHLB will not necessitate the recognition of an impairment charge with respect to such holdings.

If the goodwill we have recorded in connection with acquisitions becomes impaired, it could have an adverse impact on our reported earnings.

At March 31, 2011, we had $22,031 of goodwill on our balance sheet. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, our goodwill is not amortized but rather evaluated for impairment on an annual basis or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that a potential impairment exists. Such evaluation is based on a variety of factors, including the quoted price of our common stock, market prices of common stocks of other banking organizations, common stock trading multiples, discounted cash flows, and data from comparable acquisitions. There can be no assurance that future evaluations of goodwill will not result in findings of impairment and write-downs, which could be material. At March 31, 2011, we did not recognize an impairment charge related to our goodwill.

Recent levels of market volatility were unprecedented and we cannot predict whether they will return.

From time-to-time over the last few years, the capital and credit markets have experienced volatility and disruption at unprecedented levels. In some cases, the markets have produced downward pressure on stock prices and credit availability for certain issuers without regard to those issuers’ underlying financial strength. If similar levels of market disruption and volatility return, there can be no assurance that we will not experience an adverse effect, which may be material, on our ability to access capital and on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We operate in a highly regulated environment and we cannot predict the effect of recent and pending federal legislation.

As discussed more fully in the section entitled “Supervision and Regulation” in Item 1 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, we are subject to extensive regulation, supervision and examination by federal and state banking authorities. In addition, as a publicly traded company, we are subject to regulation by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Any change in applicable regulations or federal, state or local legislation could have a substantial impact on us and our operations. Additional legislation and regulations that could significantly affect our powers, authority and operations may be enacted or adopted in the future, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations

In that regard, sweeping financial regulatory reform legislation was enacted in July 2010. Among other provisions, the new legislation (i) creates a new Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection with broad powers to regulate consumer financial products such as credit cards and mortgages, (ii) creates a Financial Stability Oversight Council comprised of the heads of other regulatory agencies, (iii) will lead to new capital requirements from federal banking agencies, (iv) places new limits on electronic debit card interchange fees, and (v) will require the Securities and Exchange Commission and national stock exchanges to adopt significant new corporate governance and executive compensation reforms. The new legislation and regulations are likely to increase the overall costs of regulatory compliance.

Further, regulators have significant discretion and authority to prevent or remedy unsafe or unsound practices or violations of laws or regulations by financial institutions and holding companies in the performance of their supervisory and enforcement duties. Recently, these powers have been utilized more frequently due to the serious national, regional and local economic conditions we are facing. The exercise of regulatory authority may have a negative impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

We cannot accurately predict the ultimate effects of recent legislation or the various governmental, regulatory, monetary and fiscal initiatives which have been and may be enacted on the financial markets, on the Company and on the Bank. The terms and costs of these activities, or the failure of these actions to help stabilize the financial markets, asset prices, market liquidity and a continuation or worsening of current financial market and economic conditions could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and the trading price of our common stock.

Fluctuating interest rates could adversely affect our profitability.

Our profitability is dependent to a large extent upon our net interest income, which is the difference between the interest earned on loans, securities and other interest-earning assets and interest paid on deposits, borrowings, and other interest-bearing liabilities. Because of the differences in maturities and repricing characteristics of our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, changes in interest rates do not produce equivalent changes in interest income earned on interest-earning assets and interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities. Accordingly, fluctuations in interest rates could adversely affect our net interest margin, and, in turn, our profitability. We manage our interest rate risk within established guidelines and generally seek an asset and liability structure that insulates net interest income from large deviations attributable to changes in market rates. However, our interest rate risk management practices may not be effective in a highly volatile rate environment.

We face strong competition from financial services companies and other companies that offer banking services.

Our three major markets are in Oregon and Washington. The banking and financial services businesses in our market area are highly competitive and increased competition may adversely impact the level of our loans and deposits. Ultimately, we may not be able to compete successfully against current and future competitors. These competitors include national banks, foreign banks, regional banks and other community banks. We also face competition from many other types of financial institutions, including savings and loan associations, finance companies, brokerage firms, insurance companies, credit unions, mortgage banks and other financial intermediaries. In particular, our competitors include major financial companies whose greater resources may afford them a marketplace advantage by enabling them to maintain numerous locations and mount extensive promotional and advertising campaigns. Areas of competition include interest rates for loans and deposits, efforts to obtain loan and deposit customers and a range in quality of products and services provided, including new technology driven products and services. If we are unable to attract and retain banking customers, we may be unable to develop loan growth or maintain our current level of deposits.

Future acquisitions and expansion activities may disrupt our business and adversely affect our operating results.

We regularly evaluate potential acquisitions and expansion opportunities. To the extent that we grow through acquisitions, we cannot ensure that we will be able to adequately or profitably manage this growth. Acquiring other banks, branches or other assets, as well as other expansion activities, involve various risks including the risks of incorrectly assessing the credit quality of acquired assets, encountering greater than expected costs of incorporating acquired banks or branches into our Company, and being unable to profitably deploy funds acquired in an acquisition.

We may pursue additional capital in the future, which could dilute the holders of our outstanding common stock and may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

From time-to-time, particularly in the current uncertain economic environment, we may consider alternatives for raising capital when opportunities present themselves, in order to further strengthen our capital and/or better position ourselves to take advantage of identified or potential opportunities that may arise in the future. Such alternatives may include issuance and sale of common or preferred stock, or borrowings by the Company, with proceeds contributed to the Bank. Any such capital raising alternatives could dilute the holders of our outstanding common stock and may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

Anti-takeover provisions in our amended and restated articles of incorporation and bylaws and Oregon law could make a third party acquisition of us difficult.

Our amended and restated articles of incorporation contain provisions that could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us (even if doing so would be beneficial to our shareholders) and for holders of our common stock to receive any related takeover premium for their common stock. We are also subject to certain provisions of Oregon law that could delay, deter or prevent a change in control of us. These provisions could limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock.
