In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820):  Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements.  ASU 2010-06 revised two disclosure requirements concerning fair value measurements and clarifies two others.  It requires separate presentation of significant transfers into and out of Levels 1 and 2 of the fair value hierarchy and disclosure of the reasons for such transfers.  It will also require the presentation of purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements within Level 3 on a gross basis rather than a net basis.  The amendments also clarify that disclosures should be disaggregated by class of asset or liability and that disclosures about inputs and valuation techniques should be provided for both recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements.  The Company’s disclosures about fair value measurements are presented in Note 9 – Fair Value Disclosures.  These new disclosure requirements were effective for the period ended June 30, 2011, except for the requirement concerning gross presentation of Level 3 activity, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010.  There was no significant effect to the Company’s financial statement disclosure upon adoption of this ASU.
 
FASB ASU No. 2011-01, Receivables (Topic 310), Deferral of the Effective Date of Disclosures about Troubled Debt Restructurings in Update No. 2010-20, was issued by FASB in January 2011. ASU 2011-01 temporarily delays the effective date of the disclosures about troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) in Update 2010-20 for public entities. The delay is intended to allow the FASB time to complete its deliberations on what constitutes a TDR. The effective date of the new disclosures about TDR and the guidance for determining what constitutes a TDR is anticipated to be effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2011.
 
Future Application of Accounting Pronouncements
 
The following accounting pronouncement has been issued by the FASB but is not yet effective: ASU 2011-02, Receivables (Topic 310), A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring is a Troubled Debt Restructuring. ASU 2011-02 provides guidance clarifying under what circumstances a creditor should classify a restructured receivable as a TDR. A receivable is a TDR if both of the following exist: 1) a creditor has granted a concession to the debtor, and 2) the debtor is experiencing financial difficulties. ASU 2011-02 clarifies that a creditor should consider all aspects of a restructuring when evaluating whether it has granted a concession, which include determining whether a debtor can obtain funds from another source at market rates and assessing the value of additional collateral and guarantees obtained at the time of restructuring. ASU 2011-02 also provides factors a creditor should consider when determining if a debtor is experiencing financial difficulties, such as probability of payment default and bankruptcy declarations. ASU 2011-02 will become effective for us in third quarter 2011 with retrospective application to January 1, 2011. Early adoption is permitted. We are evaluating the impact these accounting changes may have on our consolidated financial statements.

 
Note 3 – Canyon National Bank Acquisition
 
Effective February 11, 2011, the Bank acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Canyon National Bank (“Canyon National”) from the FDIC as receiver for Canyon National (the “Canyon National Acquisition”), pursuant to the terms of a purchase and assumption agreement entered into by the Bank and the FDIC on February 11, 2011. The Canyon National Acquisition included the three branches of Canyon National, all of which became branches of the Bank upon consummation of the Canyon National Acquisition.  As a result of the Canyon National Acquisition, the Bank acquired and received certain assets with a fair value of approximately $208.9 million, including $149.7 million of loans, $16.1 million of a FDIC receivable, $13.2 million of cash and cash equivalents, $12.8 million of investment securities, $12.0 million of other real estate owned, $2.3 million of a core deposit intangibles, $1.5 million of other assets and $1.3 million of FHLB and Federal Reserve Bank stock.  Liabilities with a fair value of approximately $206.6 million were also assumed, including $204.7 million of deposits, $1.9 million in deferred tax liability and $39,000 of other liabilities.  The fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were determined based on the requirements of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820: Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.  The foregoing fair value amounts are subject to change for up to one year after the closing date of the Canyon National Acquisition as additional information relative to closing date fair values becomes available. The amounts are also subject to adjustments based upon final settlement with the FDIC.

From time to time, we may purchase or sell loans in order to manage concentrations, maximize interest income, change risk profiles, improve returns and generate liquidity.
 
The Company grants residential and commercial loans held for investment to customers located primarily in Southern California. Consequently, the underlying collateral for our loans and a borrower’s ability to repay may be impacted unfavorably by adverse changes in the economy and real estate market in the region.
 
Under applicable laws and regulations, the Bank may not make secured loans to one borrower in excess of 25% of unimpaired capital plus surplus and likewise in excess of 15% for unsecured loans. These loans-to-one borrower limitations result in a dollar limitation of $22.7 million for secured loans and $13.6 million for unsecured loans at June 30, 2011.  At June 30, 2011, the Bank’s largest aggregate outstanding balance of loans to one borrower was $11.3 million of secured credit.

On the acquisition date, the amount by which the undiscounted expected cash flows of the purchased credit impaired loans exceed the estimated fair value of the loan is the “accretable yield”. The accretable yield is measured at each financial reporting date and represents the difference between the remaining undiscounted expected cash flows and the current carrying value of the purchased credit impaired loan.
 
The following table summarizes the accretable yield on the purchased credit impaired for the six months ended June 30, 2011:

The Company considers a loan to be impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement or it is determined that the likelihood of the Company receiving all scheduled payments, including interest, when due is remote. The Company has no commitments to lend additional funds to debtors whose loans have been impaired.
 
The Company reviews loans for impairment when the loan is classified as substandard or worse, delinquent 90 days, or determined by management to be collateral dependent, or when the borrower files bankruptcy or is granted a TDR. Measurement of impairment is based on the loan’s expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, measured by reference to an observable market value, if one exists, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is deemed collateral dependent. All loans are generally charged-off at such time the loan is classified as a loss. Valuation allowances are determined on a loan-by-loan basis or by aggregating loans with similar risk characteristics.
 
The following table provides additional detail on the components of impaired loans at the period end as indicated below.

Total impaired loans
  $ 19,885     $ 6,818     $ 5,546  

When loans are placed on nonaccrual status all accrued interest is reversed from earnings.  Payments received on nonaccrual loans are generally applied as a reduction to the loan principal balance.  If the likelihood of further loss is remote, the Company will recognize interest on a cash basis only.  Loans may be returned to accruing status if the Company believes that all remaining principal and interest is fully collectible and there has been at least six months of sustained repayment performance since the loan was placed on nonaccrual.
 
The Company does not accrue interest on loans 90 days or more past due or when, in the opinion of management, there is reasonable doubt as to the collection of interest.  The Company had impaired loans on nonaccrual status at June 30, 2011 of $10.8 million, December 31, 2010 of $3.3 million, and June 30, 2010 of $5.5 million.  At June 30, 2011, the Company had $10.5 million of purchased credit impaired loans acquired from Canyon National, of which $3.3 million were placed on nonaccrual status.  The Company had no loans 90 days or more past due and still accruing at June 30, 2011, December 31, 2010 or June 30, 2010.
 
Concentration of Credit Risk
 
The Company’s loan portfolio was collateralized by various forms of real estate and business assets located principally in Southern California.  The Company’s loan portfolio contains concentrations of credit in multi-family real estate, commercial non-owner occupied real estate and commercial owner occupied business loans.  The Company maintains Board approved policies that address these concentrations and continues to diversify its loan portfolio through loan originations, purchases and sales to meet approved concentration levels.  While management believes that the collateral presently securing these loans is adequate, there can be no assurances that further significant deterioration in the California real estate market and economy would not expose the Company to significantly greater credit risk.
 
Credit Quality and Credit Risk Management
 
The Company’s credit quality is maintained and credit risk managed in two distinct areas.  The first is the loan origination process, wherein the Bank underwrites credit quality and chooses which risks it is willing to accept.  The second is in the ongoing oversight of the loan portfolio, where existing credit risk is measured and monitored, and where performance issues are dealt with in a timely and comprehensive fashion.
 
The Company maintains a comprehensive credit policy which sets forth minimum and maximum tolerances for key elements of loan risk.  The policy identifies and sets forth specific guidelines for analyzing each of the loan products the Company offers from both an individual and portfolio wide basis.  The credit policy is reviewed annually by the Board of Directors.  Seasoned underwriters ensure all key risk factors are analyzed with nearly all underwriting including a comprehensive global cash flow analysis.  The credit approval process mandates multiple-signature approval by either the management or Board credit committee for every loan which requires any subjective credit analysis.
 
Credit risk is managed within the loan portfolio by the Company’s Portfolio Management department based on a comprehensive credit and investment review policy.  This policy requires a program of financial data collection and analysis, comprehensive loan reviews, property and/or business inspections and monitoring of portfolio concentrations and trends.  The Portfolio Management department also monitors asset-based lines of credit, loan covenants and other conditions associated with the Company’s business loans as a means to help identify potential credit risk.  Individual loans, excluding the homogeneous loan portfolio, are reviewed at least biennially, or more frequently, if deemed necessary, and includes the assignment of a risk grade.
 
Risk grades are based on a six-grade Pass scale, along with Special Mention, Substandard, Doubtful and Loss classifications as such classifications are defined by the regulatory agencies.  The assignment of risk grades allows the Company to, among other things, identify the risk associated with each credit in the portfolio, and to provide a basis for estimating credit losses inherent in the portfolio.  Risk grades are reviewed regularly by the Company’s Credit and Investment Review committee, and are reviewed annually by an independent third-party, as well as by regulatory agencies during scheduled examinations.
 
The following provides brief definitions for risk grades assigned to loans in the portfolio:
 
•      Pass – Pass credits are well protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any.  Such credits exhibit few weaknesses, if any, but may include credits with exposure to certain factors that may adversely impact the credit if they materialize.  The Company has established six subcategories within the pass grade to stratify risk associated with pass loans.  The Company maintains a subset of pass credits designated as “watch” loans which, for any of a variety of reasons, requires close monitoring.
 
•      Special Mention – Loans graded special mention exhibit potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention.  If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may, at some future date, result in the deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or the institution’s credit position.  Special mention credits are not considered as part of the classified extensions of credit category and do not expose the Company to sufficient risk to warrant classification.
 
•      Substandard – Substandard credits are inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any.  Extensions of credit classified as substandard have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardizes the orderly payment of the debt.    Substandard credits are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.  Loss potential, while existing in the aggregate amount of substandard credits, does not have to exist in individual extensions of credit classified substandard.
 
•      Doubtful – Doubtful credits have all the weaknesses inherent in substandard credits, 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.  The possibility of loss is extremely high, but because of certain important and reasonably specific pending factors that may work to the advantage of and strengthen the credit, its classification as an estimated loss is deferred until its more exact status may be determined.
 
The Portfolio Management department also manages loan performance risks, collections, workouts, bankruptcies and foreclosures.  Loan performance risks are mitigated by our portfolio managers acting promptly and assertively to address problem credit when they are identified.  Collection efforts are commenced immediately upon non-payment, and the portfolio managers seek to promptly determine the appropriate steps to minimize the Company’s risk of loss.  When foreclosure will maximize the Company’s recovery for a non-performing loan, the portfolio managers will take appropriate action to initiate the foreclosure process.
 
When a loan is graded as special mention or worse, the Company obtains an updated valuation of the underlying collateral.  If the credit in question is also identified as impaired, a valuation allowance, if necessary, is established against such loan or a loss is recognized by a charge to the allowance for loan losses if management believes that the full amount of the Company’s recorded investment in the loan is no longer collectable.  The Company typically continues to obtain updated valuations of underlying collateral for special mention and classified loans on an annual basis in order to have the most current indication of fair value.  Once a loan is identified as impaired, an analysis of the underlying collateral is performed at least quarterly, and corresponding changes in any related valuation allowance are made or balances deemed to be fully uncollectable are charged-off.

Note 5 – Allowance for Loan Losses
 
The Company’s allowance for loan losses (“ALLL”) covers estimated credit losses on individually evaluated loans that are determined to be impaired as well as estimated credit losses inherent in the remainder of the loan portfolio.  The ALLL is prepared using the information provided by the Company’s credit and investment review process together with data from peer institutions and economic information gathered from published sources.
 
The loan portfolio is segmented into groups of loans with similar risk characteristics.   Each segment possesses varying degrees of risk based on, among other things, the type of loan, the type of collateral, and the sensitivity of the borrower or industry to changes in external factors such as economic conditions.  An estimated loss rate calculated using the Company’s actual historical loss rates adjusted for current portfolio trends, economic conditions, and other relevant internal and external factors, is applied to each group’s aggregate loan balances.
 
The following provides a summary of the ALLL calculation for the major segments within the Company’s loan portfolio.
 
Multi-Family and Non-Owner Occupied Commercial Real Estate Loans
 
The Company's base ALLL factor for multi-family and non-owner occupied commercial real estate loans is determined by management using the Bank's actual trailing twenty-four month, trailing twelve month and annualized trailing six month charge-off data.  Adjustments to those base factors are made for relevant internal and external factors.  For multi-family and non-owner occupied commercial real estate loans, those factors include:
·  
Changes in national, regional and local economic conditions, including trends in real estate values and the interest rate environment,
·  
Changes in volume and severity of past due loans, the volume of nonaccrual loans, and the volume and severity of adversely classified or graded loans, and
·  
The existence and effect of concentrations of credit, and changes in the level of such concentrations.
 
The resulting total ALLL factor is compared for reasonableness against the 10-year average, 15-year average, and trailing twelve month total charge-off data for all Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”) insured commercial banks and savings institutions based in California.  This factor is applied to balances graded pass-1 through pass-5.  For loans risk graded as watch or worse, progressively higher potential loss factors are applied based on Management’s judgment, taking into consideration the specific characteristics of the Bank’s portfolio and analysis of results from a select group of the Company’s peers.
 
Owner Occupied Commercial Real Estate Loans, Commercial Business Loans and SBA Loans
 
The Company's base ALLL factor for owner occupied commercial real estate loans, commercial business loans and SBA loans is determined by management using the Bank's actual trailing twenty-four month, trailing twelve month and annualized trailing six month charge-off data.  Adjustments to those base factors are made for relevant internal and external factors.  For owner occupied commercial real estate loans, commercial business loans and SBA loans, those factors include:
 
·  
Changes in national, regional and local economic conditions, including trends in real estate values and the interest rate environment,
·  
Changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, including new types of lending,
·  
Changes in volume and severity of past due loans, the volume of nonaccrual loans, and the volume and severity of adversely classified or graded loans, and
·  
The existence and effect of concentrations of credit, and changes in the level of such concentrations.
 
The resulting total ALLL factor is compared for reasonableness against the 10-year average, 15-year average, and trailing twelve month total charge-off data for all FDIC insured commercial banks and savings institutions based in California.  This factor is applied to balances graded pass-1 through pass-5.  For loans risk graded as watch or worse, progressively higher potential loss factors are applied based on Management’s judgment, taking into consideration the specific characteristics of the Bank’s portfolio and analysis of results from a select group of the Company’s peers.
 
Single Family and Consumer Loans
 
The Company's base ALLL factor for single family and consumer loans is determined by management using the Bank's actual trailing twenty-four month, trailing twelve month and annualized trailing six month charge-off data.  Adjustments to those base factors are made for relevant internal and external factors.  For single family and consumer loans, those factors include:
·  
Changes in national, regional and local economic conditions, including trends in real estate values and the interest rate environment.
 
The resulting total ALLL factor is compared for reasonableness against the 10-year average, 15-year average, and trailing twelve month total charge-off data for all FDIC insured commercial banks and savings institutions based in California.  This factor is applied to balances graded pass-1 through pass-5.  For loans risk graded as watch or worse, progressively higher potential loss factors are applied based on management’s judgment, taking into consideration the specific characteristics of the Bank’s portfolio and analysis of results from a select group of the Company’s peers.

Note 6 – Subordinated Debentures
 
In March 2004, the Corporation issued $10.3 million of Floating Rate Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debentures (the “Subordinated Debentures”) to PPBI Trust I, which funded the payment of $10.0 million of Floating Rate Trust Preferred Securities issued by PPBI Trust I in March 2004. The net proceeds from the offering of Trust Preferred Securities were contributed as capital to the Bank to support further growth.  Interest is payable quarterly on the Subordinated Debentures at three-month LIBOR plus 2.75% per annum, for an effective rate of 3.03% per annum as of June 30, 2011.
 
The Corporation is not allowed to consolidate PPBI Trust I into the Company’s financial statements.  The resulting effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements is to report the Subordinated Debentures as a component of liabilities.
 
Note 7 – Earnings Per Share
 
Basic earnings per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income or loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period, excluding common shares in treasury.  Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted from the issuance of common stock that would then share in earnings and excludes common shares in treasury.  Stock options exercisable for 362,198 shares of common stock for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and stock options exercisable for 492,742 shares of common stock for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and stock options exercisable for 362,992 shares of common stock for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and stock options exercisable for 512,124 shares of common stock for the six months ended June 30, 2010 were not included in the computation of earnings per share because their exercise price exceeded the average market price during the respective periods.

Note 8 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
The Company’s estimated fair value amounts have been determined by the Company using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies.  However, considerable judgment is required to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could have realized in a current market exchange. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. Although management is not aware of any factors that would significantly affect the estimated fair value amounts, such amounts have not been comprehensively revalued for purposes of these financial statements since the balance sheet date and, therefore, current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amounts presented.  The following methods were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments identified in the table immediately below.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents—The carrying amount approximates fair value due to their short-term repricing characteristics.
 
Securities Available for Sale—Fair values are based on quoted market prices from securities dealers or readily available market quote systems.
 
Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) of San Francisco and Federal Reserve Bank Stock —The carrying value approximates the fair value based upon the redemption provisions of the stock.
 
Loans Held for Sale—Fair values are based on quoted market prices or dealer quotes.
 
Loans Held for Investment—The fair value of gross loans receivable has been estimated using the present value of cash flow method, discounting expected future cash flows by estimated market interest rates for loans with similar characteristics, including credit ratings and maturities.  Consideration is also given to estimated prepayments and credit losses.
 
Accrued Interest Receivable/Payable—The carrying amount approximates fair value.
 
Deposit Accounts—The fair value disclosed for checking, passbook and money market accounts is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date.  The fair value of certificates of deposit accounts is estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation based on interest rates currently offered for certificate of deposits of similar remaining maturities.
 
FHLB Advances and Other Borrowings—The fair value disclosed for FHLB advances and other borrowings is determined by discounting contractual cash flows at current market interest rates for similar instruments with similar terms.
 
Subordinated Debentures—The fair value of subordinated debentures is estimated by discounting the balance by the current three-month LIBOR rate plus the current market spread.  The fair value is determined based on the maturity date as the Company does not currently have intentions to call the debenture.
 
Off-balance sheet commitments and standby letters of credit—The notional amount disclosed for off-balance sheet commitments and standby letters of credit is the amount available to be drawn down on all lines and letters of credit.  The cost to assume is calculated at 10% of the notional amount.
 
Based on the above methods and pertinent information available to management as of the periods indicated, the following table presents the carrying amount and estimated fair value of our financial instruments:

Note 9 – Fair Value Disclosures
 
The Company determines the fair market values of certain financial instruments based on the fair value hierarchy established in GAAP under ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, and as modified  by ASU No. 2010-06, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820):  Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements”.  GAAP requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value and describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value.
 
The following provides a summary of the hierarchical levels used to measure fair value:
 
Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 1 assets and liabilities may include debt and equity securities that are actively traded in an exchange market or an over-the-counter market and are considered highly liquid. This category generally includes U.S. Government and agency mortgage-backed debt securities.
 
Level 2—Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 2 assets and liabilities may include debt securities with quoted prices that are traded less frequently than exchange-traded instruments and other instruments whose value is determined using a pricing model with inputs that are observable in the market or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. This category generally includes corporate debt securities, derivative contracts, residential mortgage and loans held-for-sale.
 
Level 3—Unobservable inputs supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation. This category generally includes certain private equity investments, retained residual interests in securitizations, residential mortgage servicing rights, asset-backed securities (“ABS”), highly structured or long-term derivative contracts and certain collateralized debt obligations (“CDO”) where independent pricing information could not be obtained for a significant portion of the underlying assets.
 
The Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis include securities available for sale and equity securities.  Securities available for sale include U.S. Treasuries, municipal bonds and mortgage-backed securities.  The Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis include impaired loans and other real estate owned (“OREO”).
 
Marketable Securities.  Where possible, the Company utilizes quoted market prices to measure debt and equity securities; such items are classified as Level 1 in the hierarchy and include equity securities, U.S. Treasuries and securities issued by government sponsored enterprises (“GSE”).  When quoted market prices for identical assets are unavailable or the market for the asset is not sufficiently active, varying valuation techniques are used.  Common inputs in valuing these assets include, among others, benchmark yields, issuer spreads, forward mortgage-backed securities trade prices and recently reported trades.  Such assets are classified as Level 2 in the hierarchy and typically include private label mortgage-backed securities and corporate bonds. Pricing on these securities are provided to the Company by a pricing service vendor.  In the Level 3 category, the Company is classifying all the securities that its pricing service vendor cannot price due to lack of trade activity in these securities.
 
Impaired Loans.  A loan is considered impaired when it is probable that payment of interest and principal will not be made in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Impairment is measured based on the fair value of the underlying collateral less the anticipated selling costs or the discounted expected future cash flows.  The Company does not measure loan impairment on loans less than $100,000.  As such, the Company records impaired loans as non-recurring Level 2 when the fair value of the underlying collateral is based on an observable market price or current appraised value. When current market prices are not available or the Company determines that the fair value of the underlying collateral is further impaired below appraised values, the Company records impaired loans as Level 3. At June 30, 2011, substantially all the Company’s impaired loans were evaluated based on the fair value of their underlying collateral based upon the most recent appraisal available to management.
 
OREO.  The Company generally obtains an appraisal and/or a market evaluation from a qualified third party on all OREO prior to obtaining possession. After foreclosure, an updated appraisal and/or a market evaluation is periodically performed, as deemed appropriate by management, due to changing market conditions or factors specifically attributable to the property’s condition.  If the carrying value of the property exceeds its fair value less estimated cost to sell, a charge to operations is recorded and the OREO value is reduced accordingly.
 
 
The Company’s valuation methodologies may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values.  While management believes the Company’s valuation methodologies are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date.

Oversupply of inventory and continued deterioration in values of California real estate, both residential and commercial;
 
·  
The effect of changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted from time-to-time by bank regulatory agencies, the SEC, the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the Financial Accounting Standards Board or other accounting standards setters;
 
·  
Possible other-than-temporary impairments (“OTTI”) of securities held by us;
 
·  
The impact of current governmental efforts to restructure the U.S. financial regulatory system, including enactment of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act;
 
·  
Changes in consumer spending, borrowing and savings habits;
 
·  
The effects of our lack of a diversified loan portfolio, including the risks of geographic and industry concentrations;
 
·  
Ability to attract deposits and other sources of liquidity;
 
·  
Changes in the financial performance and/or condition of our borrowers;
 
·  
Changes in the competitive environment among financial and bank holding companies and other financial service providers;
 
·  
Geopolitical conditions, including acts or threats of terrorism, actions taken by the United States or other governments in response to acts or threats of terrorism and/or military conflicts, which could impact business and economic conditions in the United States and abroad;
 
·  
Unanticipated regulatory or judicial proceedings; and
 
·

Forward-looking information and statements should not be viewed as predictions, and should not be the primary basis upon which investors evaluate us.  Any investor in our common stock should consider all risks and uncertainties disclosed in our filings with the SEC, all of which are accessible on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov.
 
GENERAL
 
This discussion should be read in conjunction with our Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in the 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K, plus the unaudited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.  The results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the year ending December 31, 2011.
 
We are a California-based bank holding company incorporated in the state of Delaware and registered as a bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (“BHCA”).  Our wholly owned subsidiary, Pacific Premier Bank, is a California state chartered commercial bank.  As a bank holding company, the Corporation is subject to regulation and supervision by the Federal Reserve. We are required to file with the Federal Reserve quarterly and annual reports and such additional information as the Federal Reserve may require pursuant to the BHCA. The Federal Reserve may conduct examinations of bank holding companies, such as the Corporation, and their subsidiaries.  The Corporation is also a bank holding company within the meaning of the California Financial Code (the “Financial Code”). As such, the Corporation and its subsidiaries are subject to examination by, and may be required to file reports with, the California Department of Financial Institutions (“DFI”).
 
Under a policy of the Federal Reserve, a bank holding company is required to serve as a source of financial strength to its subsidiary depository institutions and to commit resources to support such institutions in circumstances where it might not do so absent such a policy. The Federal Reserve, under the BHCA, has the authority to require a bank holding company to terminate any activity or to relinquish control of a nonbank subsidiary (other than a nonbank subsidiary of a bank) upon the Federal Reserve’s determination that such activity or control constitutes a serious risk to the financial soundness and stability of any bank subsidiary of the bank holding company.
 
As a California state-chartered commercial bank which is a member of the Federal Reserve System, the Bank is subject to supervision, periodic examination and regulation by the DFI and the Federal Reserve. The Bank’s deposits are insured by the FDIC through the Deposit Insurance Fund.  In general terms, insurance coverage is unlimited for non-interest bearing transaction accounts until December 31, 2012 and up to $250,000 per depositor for all other accounts in accordance with the recently enacted Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”).  As a result of this deposit insurance function, the FDIC also has certain supervisory authority and powers over our bank as well as all other FDIC insured institutions. If, as a result of an examination of the Bank, the regulators should determine that the financial condition, capital resources, asset quality, earnings prospects, management, liquidity or other aspects of the Bank’s operations are unsatisfactory or that the Bank or our management is violating or has violated any law or regulation, various remedies are available to the regulators. Such remedies include the power to enjoin unsafe or unsound practices, to require affirmative action to correct any conditions resulting from any violation or practice, to issue an administrative order that can be judicially enforced, to direct an increase in capital, to restrict growth, to assess civil monetary penalties, to remove officers and directors and ultimately to request the FDIC to terminate the Bank’s deposit insurance. As a California-chartered commercial bank, the Bank is also subject to certain provisions of California law.
 
We provide banking services within our targeted markets in Southern California to businesses, including the owners and employees of those businesses, professionals, real estate investors and non-profit organizations, as well as consumers in the communities we serve. The Bank operates nine depository branches in Southern California located in the cities of Costa Mesa, Huntington Beach, Los Alamitos, Newport Beach, Palm Springs, Palm Desert, San Bernardino, and Seal Beach.  Our corporate headquarters are located in Costa Mesa, California.  Through our branches and our web site at www.ppbi.com, we offer a broad array of deposit products and services for both business and consumer customers, including checking, money market and savings accounts, cash management services, electronic banking, and on-line bill payment.  We also offer a variety of loan products, including commercial business loans, lines of credit, commercial real estate loans, U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”) loans, residential home loans, and home equity loans.  The Bank funds it’s lending and investment activities with retail deposits obtained through its branches, advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”), lines of credit, and wholesale and brokered certificates of deposits.
 
Our principal source of income is the net spread between interest earned on loans and investments and the interest costs associated with deposits and borrowings used to finance the loan and investment portfolios.  Additionally, the Bank generates fee income from loan and investment sales and various products and services offered to both depository and loan customers.
 
Regulatory Developments
 
On July 21, 2010, sweeping financial regulatory reform legislation entitled the “Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act” was signed into law by President Obama. The Dodd-Frank Act implements far-reaching changes across the financial regulatory landscape, including provisions that, among other things, will:
 
·  
Centralize responsibility for consumer financial protection by creating a new agency, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, responsible for implementing, examining and enforcing compliance with federal consumer financial laws.
 
·  
Require federal bank regulators to seek to make their capital requirements countercyclical so that capital requirements increase in times of economic expansion and decrease in times of economic contraction.
 
·  
Require bank holding companies and banks to be both well-capitalized and well-managed in order to engage in interstate bank acquisitions.
 
·  
Impose comprehensive regulation of the over-the-counter derivatives market, which would include certain provisions that would effectively prohibit insured depository institutions from conducting certain derivatives businesses in the institution itself.
 
·  
Implement corporate governance revisions, including with regard to executive compensation and proxy access by shareholders.
 
·  
Make permanent the $250,000 limit for federal deposit insurance and increase the cash limit of Securities Investor Protection Corporation protection from $100,000 to $250,000 and provide unlimited federal deposit insurance through December 31, 2012 for non-interest bearing demand transaction accounts at all insured depository institutions.
 
·  
Repeal the federal prohibitions on the payment of interest on demand deposits, thereby permitting depository institutions to pay interest on business transaction and other accounts.
 
·  
Amend the Electronic Fund Transfer Act to, among other things, give the Federal Reserve the authority to establish rules regarding interchange fees charged for electronic debit transactions by payment card issuers having assets over $10 billion and to enforce a new statutory requirement that such fees be reasonable and proportional to the actual cost of a transaction to the issuer.
 
·  
Increase the authority of the Federal Reserve to examine bank holding companies, such as the Corporation, and their non-bank subsidiaries.
 
·  
Exempt non-accelerated filers, such as the Company, from the auditor attestation requirements on management’s assessment of internal controls.  However, the requirement of an assessment by management of the issuer’s internal controls is not affected by this amendment.
 
Many aspects of the Dodd-Frank Act are subject to rulemaking and will take effect over several years, making it difficult to anticipate the overall financial impact on the Company, its customers or the financial industry generally.  Provisions in the legislation that affect deposit insurance assessments, payment of interest on demand deposits and interchange fees could increase the costs associated with deposits as well as place limitations on certain revenues those deposits may generate.
 
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Management has established various accounting policies which govern the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America in the preparation of our financial statements.  Our significant accounting policies are described in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K.  Certain accounting policies require management to make estimates and assumptions which have a material impact on the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities; management considers these to be critical accounting policies.  The estimates and assumptions management uses are based on historical experience and other factors, which management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances.  Actual results could differ significantly from these estimates and assumptions, which could have a material impact on the carrying value of assets and liabilities at balance sheet dates and our results of operations for future reporting periods.
 
We consider the allowance for loan losses (“ALLL”) to be a critical accounting policy that requires judicious estimates and assumptions in the preparation of our financial statements that is particularly susceptible to significant change. For further information, see “Allowances for Loan Losses” discussed later in this report and in our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
 
CANYON NATIONAL BANK ACQUISITION
 
Effective February 11, 2011, the Bank acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Canyon National Bank (“Canyon National”) from the FDIC as receiver for Canyon National (the “Canyon National Acquisition”), pursuant to the terms of a purchase and assumption agreement entered into by the Bank and the FDIC on February 11, 2011. The Canyon National Acquisition included the three branches of Canyon National, all of which became branches of the Bank upon consummation of the Canyon National Acquisition.  As a result of the Canyon National Acquisition, the Bank acquired and received certain assets with a fair value of approximately $208.9 million, including $149.7 million of loans, $16.1 million of a FDIC receivable, $13.2 million of cash and cash equivalents, $12.8 million of investment securities, $12.0 million of other real estate owned, $2.3 million of a core deposit intangibles, $1.5 million of other assets and $1.3 million of FHLB and Federal Reserve Bank stock.  Liabilities with a fair value of approximately $206.6 million were also assumed, including $204.7 million of deposits, $1.9 million in deferred tax liability and $39,000 of other liabilities.  The fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were determined based on the requirements of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820: Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.  The foregoing fair value amounts are subject to change for up to one year after the closing date of the Canyon National Acquisition as additional information relative to closing date fair values becomes available. The amounts are also subject to adjustments based upon final settlement with the FDIC.
 
 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
In the second quarter of 2011, we recorded net income of $785,000, or $0.08 per diluted share, up from net income of $337,000, or $0.03 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2010.
 
The Company’s pre-tax income totaled $1.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2011, up from $357,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2010.  The increase of $731,000 between quarters was substantially related to the Canyon National Acquisition from the FDIC and included:
 
·  
A $3.5 million increase in net interest income due to a higher level of interest earning assets and a higher net interest margin;
·  
A $427,000 increase in deposit fee income;
·  
A $370,000 decrease in other real estate owned (“OREO”) operations, net expense; and
·  
A $217,000 increase in other income.
 
Partially offsetting the above favorable items was:
 
·  
A $2.4 million increase in noninterest expense, excluding OREO operations, net, primarily associated with higher expenses in compensation and benefits, legal and audit, other and premises and occupancy;
·  
A $922,000 increase in loss from sales of loans; and
·  
A $661,000 increase in provision for loan loss.
 
For the three months ended June 30, 2011, our return on average assets was 0.33% and return on average equity was 3.88%, up from a return on average assets of 0.17% and a return on average equity of 1.81% for the same comparable period of 2010.
 
For the first six months of 2011, the Company’s net income totaled $5.6 million or $0.52 per share on a diluted basis, up from $793,000 or $0.07 per share for the first six months of 2010.  The increase in net income was primarily related to the acquisition of Canyon National, which at the acquisition date of February 11, 2011, included interest-earning assets of $179.8 million, interest-bearing liabilities of $204.7 million and a bargain purchase pre-tax gain of $4.2 million.
 
For the six months ended June 30, 2011, our return on average assets was 1.19% and return on average equity was 13.94%, up from a return on average assets of 0.20% and a return on average equity of 2.14% for the same comparable period of 2010.
 
Net Interest Income
 
Our earnings are derived predominately from net interest income, which is the difference between the interest income earned on interest-earning assets, primarily loans and securities, and the interest expense incurred on interest-bearing liabilities, primarily deposits and borrowings.  The spread between the yield on interest-earning assets and the cost of interest-bearing liabilities and the relative dollar amounts of these assets and liabilities principally affect net interest income.
 
Net interest income totaled $10.3 million in the second quarter of 2011, up $3.5 million or 51.1% from the second quarter of 2010.  The increase in net interest income reflected an increase in average interest-earning assets of $171.0 million in the current quarter to total $903.7 million, and a higher net interest margin of 4.58% in the current quarter, compared with 3.74% in the second quarter of 2010.  The increase in average interest-earning assets during the current quarter was primarily due to the full quarter effect of the Canyon National Acquisition, which added $179.8 million in interest earning assets on February 11, 2011.  The increase in the current quarter net interest margin of 84 basis points resulted primarily from a decrease in the average costs on interest-bearing liabilities of 66 basis points and an increase in the yield on interest-earning assets of 22 basis points.  For the current quarter, the decrease in costs on our interest-bearing liabilities was mainly associated with a decline in our cost of deposits of 50 basis points from 1.55% to 1.05%, primarily as a result of the deposits acquired from Canyon National which changed our deposit composition to have a higher mix of lower cost transaction accounts.  In addition, our cost of borrowings declined by 75 basis points from the pay down of higher cost borrowings.  The increase in yield on our interest-earning assets was mainly due to an increase in our yield on loans of 22 basis points from 6.65% in the second quarter of 2010 to 6.87% in the second quarter of 2011, primarily as a result of acquired loan discount accretion that was disproportionately accreted in the second quarter of 2011 as we completed our analysis of our problem loan credits acquired from Canyon National.  The yield on our loans for the first six months of 2011 was 6.77%, compared with 6.62% for the first six months of 2010.
 
For the first six months of 2011, our net interest income totaled $19.4 million, an increase of $5.9 million or 44.0% from the same period in the prior year.  The increase in net interest income was associated with a higher net interest margin which increased by 75 basis points to 4.40% from 3.65% from the same period during the prior year, and higher interest-earning assets, which grew by $143.7 million to $884.4 million from $740.7 million from the same period during the prior year.  The increase in net interest margin resulted primarily from a lower overall acquired deposit cost added at the time of acquisition of 47 basis points.
 
The following table present for the periods indicated the average dollar amounts from selected balance sheet categories calculated from daily average balances and the total dollar amount, including adjustments to yields and costs, of:
 
·  
Interest income earned from average interest-earning assets and the resultant yields; and
 
·  
Interest expense incurred from average interest-bearing liabilities and resultant costs, expressed as rates.
 
The table also sets forth our net interest income, net interest rate spread and net interest rate margin for the periods indicated.  The net interest rate margin reflects the relative level of interest-earning assets to interest-bearing liabilities and equals our net interest rate spread divided by average interest-earning assets for the periods indicated.

Provision for Loan Losses
 
The Company recorded a $1.3 million provision for loan losses during the second quarter of 2011, compared with $639,000 recorded in the second quarter of 2010.  Strong credit quality metrics and recent charge-off history within our organic loan portfolio was a significant determinate in estimating the adequacy of our ALLL and our resultant provision at the end of the second quarter of 2011.  Net loan charge-offs amounted to $1.7 million in the current quarter, up $1.0 million from $639,000 experienced during the second quarter of 2010.  The loan charge offs we experienced in the second quarter of 2011 were primarily related to the loans acquired from Canyon National. Of the current quarter total charge-offs, purchased credit impaired loans of $629,000 and other purchased loans of $616,000 related to the Canyon National Acquisition.
 
The charge-offs related to purchase credit impaired loans was due to the decrease of estimated cash flows of certain acquired loans from original cash flow estimations.  At the closing of the Canyon National Acquisition, purchased credit impaired loans were recorded at their estimated fair value, which incorporated our estimated expected cash flows until the ultimate resolution of these credits.  To the extent actual or projected cash flows are less than originally estimated, additional provisions for loan losses or charge-offs will be recognized into earnings or against the allowance, if applicable.  To the extent actual or projected cash flows are more than originally estimated, the increase in cash flows is prospectively recognized in loan interest income.  Due to the accounting rules associated with our purchase credit impaired loans, each quarter we are required to re-estimate cash flows which could cause volatility in our reported net interest margin and provision for loans losses.
 
For the first six months of 2011, the provision for loan losses totaled $1.4 million and net loan charge-offs were $1.8 million.  This compares with a provision for loan losses of $1.7 million and net charge-offs of $1.4 million for the first six months of 2010.
 
Our Loss Mitigation Department continues collection efforts on loans previously written down and/or charged-off to maximize potential recoveries.  See “Allowance for Loan Losses” discussed below in this report.
 
Noninterest Income (Loss)
 
Our noninterest income (loss) amounted to a $1.1 million loss in the second quarter of 2011, representing an increase in loss of $55,000 from the same period in the prior year.  The increase was primarily driven by larger losses on the sale of loans in the current quarter of $922,000, as we sold a book value of $10.2 million of primarily sub-performing loans acquired from Canyon National, compared to the sale of $8.5 million in the year-ago quarter.  This loss was partially offset by higher deposit fee income of $427,000, primarily associated with a full quarter of the acquired Canyon National deposits, an increase in other income of $217,000 and a decrease in OTTI of $176,000.
 
For the first six months of 2011, our noninterest income totaled $4.1 million, compared with a loss of $1.8 million for the same period a year ago.  The favorable change was reflected in all our noninterest income categories, but primarily related to the Canyon National Acquisition for which we recorded a bargain purchase gain of $4.2 million.  In addition, we experienced an increase in deposit fee income of $687,000 and other income of $296,000, along with a decrease in the amount of OTTI loss of $288,000.
 
Noninterest Expense
 
Noninterest expense totaled $6.9 million in the second quarter of 2011, up $2.0 million or 42.6% from the same period in the prior year.  Most of our noninterest expense categories increased primarily as a result of the Canyon National Acquisition, which included increases in compensation and benefits costs of $1.4 million; legal and audit fees of $237,000; other expenses of $237,000; premises and occupancy expenses of $233,000, which included depreciation expense for the purchase of one Canyon National branch location from the FDIC of $1.8 million; marketing expense of $120,000; and data processing and communication costs of $118,000, partially offset by lower OREO operations, net of $370,000.  Although we expect to incur higher expenses in conjunction with the Canyon National Acquisition, we have achieved some efficiencies which are evidenced by our efficiency ratio of 58.3% for the second quarter of 2011, compared with 59.8% for the second quarter of 2010.
 
For the first six months of 2011, noninterest expense totaled $13.2 million, up $4.1 million or 44.7% from the first six months of 2010.  The increase was almost entirely related to the Canyon National Acquisition, which included one-time costs of approximately $629,000. Most of our noninterest expense categories were higher which included increases in compensation and benefits costs of $2.6 million, primarily from an increase in employee count and termination costs; other expense of $540,000; legal and audit fees of $504,000; premises and occupancy expenses of $407,000; data processing and communication costs of $235,000; and marketing expense of $200,000, partially offset by lower OREO operations, net of $402,000.
 
Income Taxes
 
For the three months ended June 30, 2011, we had a tax provision of $303,000, compared to $20,000 for the same period in 2010.  The change in income taxes was primarily due to a favorable change in net income before taxes of $731,000.  For the six months ended June 30, 2011, we had a tax provision of $3.4 million, compared to $120,000 for the same period in 2010.  The change in income taxes was primarily due to a favorable change in net income before taxes of $8.1 million.  At June 30, 2011, we had no valuation allowance against our deferred tax asset of $9.0 million based on management’s analysis that the asset was more-likely-than-not to be realized.
 
 
 
FINANCIAL CONDITION
 
At June 30, 2011, assets totaled $948.1 million, up $150.9 million or 18.9% from June 30, 2010 and up $121.3 million or 14.7% from December 31, 2010.  The increase from a year ago and since year end 2010 is predominately related to the Canyon National Acquisition.  During the second quarter of 2011, assets decreased $8.4 million, primarily due to the reduction in cash of $9.8 million, OREO of $6.1 million and other assets of $2.6 million.  Partially offsetting these decreases was an increase in loans held for investment of $8.5 million.
 
Loans
 
At June 30, 2011, net loans held for investment totaled $699.6 million, up $156.6 million or 28.8% from June 30, 2010 and $144.0 million or 25.9% from December 31, 2010.  The increase from a year ago and since year end 2010 is predominately related to the Canyon National Acquisition.

Gross loans held for investment, which are net of the Canyon National loan discount, totaled $711.2 million at June 30, 2011, compared to $555.7 million at June 30, 2010 and $567.6 million at December 31, 2010.  The increase of $155.5 million from the same period in the prior year and $143.6 million since year end 2010 is predominately related to the Canyon National Acquisition whereby we acquired loans of $149.7 million.  During the second quarter of 2011, gross loans increased $8.1 million and included loan originations of $18.2 million, purchases of $19.1 million, a net change in undisbursed loan funds of $4.2 million, a decrease in the Canyon National loan discount of $4.1 million, partially offset by principal repayments of $22.0 million and loan sales of $11.7 million.  From time to time, management utilizes loan purchases or sales to manage its liquidity, interest rate risk, loan to deposit ratio, diversification of the loan portfolio and net balance sheet growth. Given the weakness in the commercial real estate (“CRE”) markets where our loans are located, during the first quarter of 2010, management implemented a strategy to sell CRE loans to reduce its concentration in the loan portfolio.  In accordance with that strategy, during the second quarter of 2011, $2.9 million of performing, primarily CRE, loans were sold.  Additionally during the quarter, as part of our loss mitigation strategy to minimize losses in our loan portfolio, we sold $7.3 million of sub-performing, primarily Canyon National acquired loans.  The total of these loans were sold at a net loss of $2.5 million for the current quarter.

Delinquent Loans.  When a borrower fails to make required payments on a loan and does not cure the delinquency within 30 days, we normally record a notice of default and, after providing the required notices to the borrower, commence foreclosure proceedings.  If the loan is not reinstated within the time permitted by law, we may sell the property at a foreclosure sale.  At these foreclosure sales, we generally acquire title to the property.  At June 30, 2011, loans delinquent 30 or more days as a percentage of total gross loans was 1.91%, up from 0.76% at December 31, 2010 and up from 0.39% at June 30, 2010.  The increase in the ratio at the end of the current quarter compared to the prior periods was primarily a result of the acquisition of delinquent loans from Canyon National.  As we executed our loss mitigation strategies during the second quarter of 2011, delinquent loans declined $13.0 million to $13.6 million, primarily from loans moving to current status of $6.4 million and sales of $4.5 million.  At June 30, 2011, we had $6.9 million in delinquent loans acquired from Canyon National, of which $3.0 million were 30-59 days delinquent, $2.3 million were 60-89 days delinquent and $1.6 million were 90 days or more delinquent.

    Allowance for Loan Losses.  The ALLL represents an estimate of probable losses inherent in our loan portfolio and is determined by applying a systematically derived loss factor to individual segments of the loan portfolio.  The adequacy and appropriateness of the ALLL and the individual loss factors is reviewed each quarter by management.
 
The loss factor for each segment of our loan portfolio is generally based on our actual historical loss rate experience with emphasis on recent past periods to account for current economic conditions and supplemented by management judgment for certain segments where we lack loss history experience.  We also consider historical charge-off rates for the last 10 and 15 years for commercial banks and savings institutions headquartered in California as collected and reported by the FDIC.  The loss factor is adjusted by qualitative adjustment factors to arrive at a final loss factor for each loan portfolio segment.  For additional information regarding the qualitative adjustments, please see “Allowances for Loan Losses” discussed in our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K.  The qualitative factors allow management to assess current trends within our loan portfolio and the economic environment to incorporate their affect when calculating the ALLL.  The final loss factors are applied to pass graded loans within our loan portfolio.  Higher factors are applied to loans graded below pass, including classified and criticized assets.
 
No assurance can be given that we will not, in any particular period, sustain loan losses that exceed the amount reserved, or that subsequent evaluation of our loan portfolio, in light of the prevailing factors, including economic conditions which may adversely affect our market area or other circumstances, will not require significant increases in the loan loss allowance.  In addition, regulatory agencies as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review our ALLL and may require us to recognize additional provisions to increase the allowance or take charge-offs in anticipation of future losses.
 
At June 30, 2011, the Company’s ALLL was $8.5 million, a decrease of $652,000 from the same period in the prior year and a decrease of $362,000 from year-end 2010.  During the second quarter of 2011, our ALLL decreased $362,000 primarily due to the net loan charge-offs of $1.7 million being larger than the recorded provision for loan losses of $1.3 million.  Strong credit quality metrics and recent charge-off history within our organic loan portfolio was a significant determinate in estimating the adequacy of our allowance for loan losses and our resultant provision for the first quarter of 2011.  At June 30, 2011, given the composition of our loan portfolio, the ALLL was considered adequate to cover estimated losses inherent in the loan portfolio.

    Each quarter, we review individual securities classified as available for sale to determine whether a decline in fair value below the amortized cost basis is other-than-temporary.  If it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the debt security, an OTTI write down is recorded against the security and a loss recognized.
 
In determining if a security has an OTTI loss, we review downgrades in credit ratings and the length of time and extent that the fair value has been less than the cost of the security.  We estimate OTTI losses on a security primarily through:
 
·  
An evaluation of the present value of estimated cash flows from the security using the current yield to accrete beneficial interest and including assumptions in the prepayment rate, default rate, delinquencies, loss severity and percentage of nonperforming assets;
·  
An evaluation of the estimated payback period to recover principal;
·  
An analysis of the credit support available in the underlying security to absorb losses; and
·  
A review of the financial condition and near term prospects of the issuer.
 
During the quarter ended June 30, 2011, we took a net $154,000 OTTI charge against our private label mortgage-backed securities deemed to be impaired, compared to $330,000 of OTTI charges during the same period last year.  These impaired private label mortgage-backed securities are classified as substandard assets with all the interest received since the date of impairment being applied against their principal balances.
 
Securities with OTTI credit losses recognized in noninterest income and associated OTTI non-credit losses recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss during the periods indicated were as follows:

Nonperforming Assets
 
Nonperforming assets consist of loans on which we have ceased accruing interest (nonaccrual loans), restructured loans and real estate acquired in settlement of loans (OREO).  It is our general policy to account for a loan as nonaccrual when the loan becomes 90 days delinquent or when collection of interest appears doubtful.
 
At June 30, 2011, nonperforming assets totaled $15.3 million or 1.62% of total assets, up from $3.8 million or 0.48% at June 30, 2010 and $3.3 million or 0.40% at December 31, 2010.  During the second quarter of 2011, nonperforming loans decreased $9.8 million to total $10.9 million and OREO decreased $6.1 million to total $4.4 million.  Of the decrease in nonperforming loans, $6.5 million related to purchased credit impaired loans that were put on nonaccrual status when they were acquired from Canyon National, but were then subsequently placed on accrual status after we completed our analysis of these credits during the second quarter of 2011. The remainder of the decline in nonperforming loans as well as in OREO was primarily due to sales that were over and above any additions to these categories.  Of the balances at June 30, 2011, 37% of nonperforming loans and all of OREO were associated with assets acquired from Canyon National.

Liabilities and Stockholders’ Equity
 
Total liabilities were $866.3 million at June 30, 2011, compared to $721.7 million at June 30, 2010 and $748.2 million at December 31, 2010.  The increase from a year ago and since year end 2010 is predominately related to the Canyon National Acquisition.  During the second quarter of 2011, liabilities decreased $10.5 million, primarily due to a decrease in deposits of $16.8 million, partially offset by an increase in accrued expenses and other liabilities primarily associated with securities purchased, but not yet settled.
 
Deposits.  Deposits totaled $816.0 million at June 30, 2011, up $183.9 million or 29.1% from June 30, 2010 and $156.7 million or 23.8% from December 31, 2010.  The increase from a year ago and since year end 2010 is predominately related to the Canyon National Acquisition.  During the second quarter of 2011, deposits decreased $16.8 million primarily due to decreases in certificates of deposit of $16.9 million and interest bearing transaction accounts of $4.1 million, partially offset by an increase in noninterest bearing checking of $4.3 million.  Total average cost of deposits measured at period end decreased from 1.07% at March 31, 2011 to 1.02% at June 30, 2011, primarily due to the decline in certificates of deposit during the current quarter.  At June 30, 2011, our gross loan to deposit ratio was 86.8%, down from 87.4% at June 30, 2010, but up from 85.6% at December 31, 2010.

    Borrowings.  At June 30, 2011, total borrowings amounted to $38.8 million, down $38.0 million or 49.5% from June 30, 2010 and $40.0 million or 50.8% from December 31, 2010.  The reduction in borrowings from the same period in the prior year and since year-end 2010 was a result of the liquidity we received from the Canyon National Acquisition that allowed us to pay off $40.0 million in fixed rate FHLB term advances.  Total borrowings during the second quarter remained unchanged and represented 4.1% of total assets and had a weighted average cost of 3.03% at June 30, 2011, compared with 9.6% of total assets at a weighted average cost of 3.97% at June 30, 2010 and 9.5% of total assets and at a weighted average cost of 1.81% at December 31, 2010.  At June 30, 2011, total borrowings were comprised of the following:
 
·  
Three inverse putable reverse repurchase agreements totaling $28.5 million at a weighted average rate of 3.04% and secured by approximately $37.3 million of GSE mortgage backed securities; and
 
·  
Subordinated debentures used to fund the issuance of trust preferred securities in 2004 of $10.3 million with a rate of 3.03%.

Stockholders’ Equity.  Total stockholders’ equity was $81.8 million as of June 30, 2011, up from $75.5 million at June 30, 2010 and $78.6 million at December 31, 2010.  The current year increase of $3.2 million was due to net income of $5.6 million and an improvement in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) of $1.1 million, partially offset by a decrease in additional paid in capital of $3.5 million.  The reduction in paid in capital primarily occurred during the first quarter when we repurchase and retired two outstanding warrants that were exercisable for an aggregate of 600,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.  The result of this transaction reduced the total amount of fully diluted shares outstanding by approximately 5.4%, and was accretive to the Company’s fully diluted book value per share.  Our basic book value per share increased to $8.11 at June 30, 2011 from $7.83 at December 31, 2010, while our diluted book value per share increased to $7.84 at June 30, 2011 from $7.18 at December 31, 2010.  At June 30, 2011, the Company’s tangible common equity to total assets ratio was 8.42%.
 
 
CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY
 
Our primary sources of funds are deposits, advances from the FHLB and other borrowings, principal and interest payments on loans, and income from investments. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans are a predictable source of funds, deposit inflows and outflows as well as loan prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions, and competition.
 
Our primary sources of funds generated during the first six months of 2011 were from:
 
 
·  
Proceeds of $52.1 million from the sale and principal payments on  securities available for sale;
 
·  
Proceeds of $49.4 million from the sale and principal payments on loans held for investment;
 
·  
Proceeds of $26.4 million received from the FDIC for the acquisition of certain assets and assumption of certain liabilities of Canyon National;
·  
Proceeds from the sale of other real estate owned of $19.4 million; and
·  
A net change in undisbursed loan funds of $11.1 million.
 
We used these funds to:
 
·  
Purchase and originate loans held for investment of $58.9 million;
·  
Absorb deposit outflows of $47.6 million
·  
Reduce FHLB advances by $40.0 million; and
·  
Purchase securities available for sale of $19.6 million.
 
 
Our most liquid assets are unrestricted cash and short-term investments.  The levels of these assets are dependent on our operating, lending and investing activities during any given period. Our liquidity position is continuously monitored and adjustments are made to the balance between sources and uses of funds as deemed appropriate.  At June 30, 2011, cash and cash equivalents totaled $47.0 million and the market value of our investment securities available for sale totaled $141.3 million.  If additional funds are needed, we have additional sources of liquidity that can be accessed, including FHLB advances, Federal Funds lines, the Federal Reserve’s lending programs and loan sales.  As of June 30, 2011, the maximum amount we could borrow through the FHLB was $428.3 million, of which $247.9 million was available for borrowing based on collateral pledged of $469.3 million in real estate loans and $11.5 million of FHLB Stock.  At June 30, 2011, we had unsecured lines of credit aggregating $48.8 million, which consisted of $44.0 million with other financial institutions from which to draw funds and $4.8 million with the Federal Reserve Bank. At June 30, 2011, no funds were drawn against these lines.  For the quarter ended June 30, 2011, our average liquidity ratio was 19.32%, down from a ratio of 20.23% for the same period in 2010.
 
To the extent that 2011 deposit growth is not sufficient to satisfy our ongoing commitments to fund maturing and withdrawalable deposits, repay maturing borrowings, fund existing and future loans, or make investments, we may access funds through our FHLB borrowing arrangement, unsecured lines of credit or other sources.
 
The Bank has a policy in place that permits the purchase of brokered funds, in an amount not to exceed 5% of total deposits, as a secondary source for funding.  At June 30, 2011, we had no brokered time deposits.
 
The Corporation is a corporate entity separate and apart from the Bank that must provide for its own liquidity.  The Corporation’s primary sources of liquidity are dividends from the Bank. There are statutory and regulatory provisions that limit the ability of the Bank to pay dividends to the Corporation.  Management believes that such restrictions will not have a material impact on the ability of the Corporation to meet its ongoing cash obligations.
 
The boards of directors of the Corporation and the Bank have adopted certain resolutions which require, among other things, that the Corporation provide prior written notice to the Federal Reserve Bank before (i) receiving any dividends or other distributions from the Bank, (ii) declaring any dividends or making any payments on trust preferred securities or subordinated debt, (iii) making any capital distributions, (iv) incurring, increasing, refinancing or guaranteeing any debt; (v) issuing any trust preferred securities or (iv) repurchasing, redeeming or acquiring any of our stock.
 
Contractual Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Commitments
 
Contractual Obligations.  The Company enters into contractual obligations in the normal course of business primarily as a source of funds for its asset growth and to meet required capital needs.

Off-Balance Sheet Commitments.  We utilize off-balance sheet commitments in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of our customers and to reduce our own exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. These financial instruments include commitments to originate real estate, business and other loans held for investment, undisbursed loan funds, lines and letters of credit, and commitments to purchase loans and investment securities for portfolio. The contract or notional amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement we have in particular classes of financial instruments.
 
Commitments to originate loans held for investment are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the commitment. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since some commitments expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Undisbursed loan funds and unused lines of credit on home equity and commercial loans include committed funds not disbursed. Letters of credit are conditional commitments we issue to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. As of June 30, 2011, we had commitments to extend credit on existing lines and letters of credit of $65.5 million, compared to $18.2 million at June 30, 2010 and $34.7 million at December 31, 2010.

Regulatory Capital Compliance
 
The Corporation owns all of the capital stock of the Bank.  Federal banking regulations define, for each capital category, the levels at which institutions are “well capitalized,” “adequately capitalized,” or undercapitalized.  A “well capitalized” institution has a total risk-based capital ratio of 10.0% or higher; a Tier I risk-based capital ratio of 6.0% or higher; and a leverage ratio of 5.0% or higher.  At June 30, 2011, the Bank exceeded the “well capitalized” standards.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk
 
Management believes that there have been no material changes in our quantitative and qualitative information about market risk since December 31, 2010.  For a complete discussion of our quantitative and qualitative market risk, see “Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk” in our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
 
Item 4.  Controls and Procedures
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, an evaluation was carried out by our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.
 
Changes in Internal Controls
 
There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
 
 

 
PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION
 
 
Item 1.  Legal Proceedings
 
We were not involved in any legal proceedings other than those occurring in the ordinary course of business, except for the “James Baker v. Century Financial, et al” which was discussed in “Item 3. Legal Proceedings” in our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K.  Management believes that none of these legal proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse impact on our results of operations or financial condition.
