Item 7.01.  Regulation FD Disclosure

Pacific Financial Corporation ("Pacific") is furnishing information in accordance with Regulation FD regarding its financial results for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.  This information shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, except as may be expressly set forth by specific reference in any such filing.
 
Pacific's net income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, was $1,204,000, and $2,239,000, respectively, compared to $479,000 and $1,616,000 for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2010.  The increase in net income for the three month period was primarily related to increases in net interest income and gain on sale of investments.  The increase in net income for the nine month period was primarily related to an increase in net interest income and a decrease in provision for credit losses which were partially offset by a decrease in gain on sale of loans.   Net interest margin increased to 4.02% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to 3.95% for the same period of the prior year.
 
Provision for credit losses for the three months ended September 30, 2011, was $1,050,000, compared to $850,000 in the same period a year ago.  Net charge-offs for the current three month period were $1,093,000 compared to $583,000 for the same period of the prior year.  Provision for credit losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, was $1,550,000, compared to $2,850,000 in the same period a year ago.  The $1,300,000 decrease in provision for the nine month period was substantially due to a decline in net charge-offs, which totaled $1,137,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $2,431,000 for the same period in 2010, and a $6,138,000 decrease in loans classified as substandard from year end 2010 through the close of third quarter 2011.
 
Non-performing loans totaled $9,080,000 (net of government guarantees of $3,198,000) at September 30, 2011, compared to $9,999,000 at December 31, 2010 and $6,590,000 at September 30, 2010.  Non-performing assets totaled $20,987,000, or 3.21% of total assets, at September 30, 2011, compared to $16,579,000, or 2.57% of total assets, at December 31, 2010.  The increase in non-performing assets is due largely to one loan totaling $3,627,000, of which $3,198,000 is guaranteed by the United States Department of Agriculture.
 
Net interest income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, increased $327,000 and $395,000, respectively, compared to the same periods of the prior year.  The increase is primarily the result of an improvement in funding costs which reflects a decrease in rates paid on certificates of deposits and other deposit rates.  The Company continues to roll off brokered deposits as they mature.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, $10.4 million in brokered deposits matured which contributed to the decrease in the cost of funds.
 
Non-interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2011 increased by $440,000, or 21.84%, compared to the same period in 2010.  The increase was the result of an increase in gain on sale of investments securities of $352,000 and an increase in the gain on sale of loans of $74,000.  Non-interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 decreased $1,042,000, or 16.80%, compared to the same period in 2010.  The decrease for the nine month period is mostly attributable to a decrease in gain on sales of loans and other real estate owned (“OREO”), as well as an other-than-temporary-impairment loss of $243,000.  These were partially offset by an increase in interchange revenue on debit cards.  Non-interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 decreased slightly by $271,000 and $127,000, or 4.28% and 0.67%, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2010.  The decreases were primarily related to reductions in FDIC assessments, OREO operating costs, and occupancy and equipment expenses.  These were partially offset by increases in salaries and employee benefits related to annual performance and merit increases, as well as temporary additions to staff to assist with a core system conversion in April 2011.

Total assets increased 1.42% to $653.6 million at September 30, 2011, compared to $644.4 million at December 31, 2010.  Increases in investments, loans and OREO were the primary contributors to overall asset growth, which were partially offset by a decrease in cash as expected given scheduled maturities for brokered certificates of deposits.  Total loans, including loans held for sale, were $486.3 million at September 30, 2011, up $10.5 million from $475.8 million at year-end 2010.  The increase in loans was primarily in commercial and industrial loans and commercial real estate loans.  The ratio of the allowance for credit losses to total loans outstanding was 2.30%, 2.28% and 2.47% at September 30, 2011, December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2010, respectively.
 
Capital ratios continue to exceed regulatory requirements for well-capitalized institutions.  Tier 1 leverage and total risk based capital ratios at September 30, 2011 for the Company’s subsidiary, Bank of the Pacific, were 10.03% and 14.97%, respectively, compared to 9.80% and 14.62% at December 31, 2010, respectively.  Pacific's unaudited consolidated balance sheets at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, and unaudited consolidated statements of operations and selected performance ratios for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, follow.
