PART I FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Certain statements contained in Pacific Capital Bancorps (the Company) Annual Report on Form 10-K are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company intends such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements in these provisions. All statements other than statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements for purposes of federal and state securities laws, including, but not limited to, statements that relate to or are dependent on estimates or assumptions relating to the prospects of continued loan and deposit growth, improved credit quality, the health of the capital markets, the Companys de novo branching and acquisition efforts, the operating characteristics of the Companys income tax refund loan and transfer programs and the economic conditions within its markets. These forward-looking statements involve certain risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the Companys control. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements include, among others, (1) increased competitive pressure among financial services companies; (2) changes in the interest rate environment reducing interest margins or increasing interest rate risk; (3) deterioration in general economic conditions, internationally, nationally or in California; (4) the occurrence of terrorist acts or natural disasters, such as earthquakes; (5) reduced demand for or earnings derived from the Companys refund anticipation loan (RAL) and refund transfer (RT) programs; (6) legislative or regulatory changes or litigation adversely affecting the businesses in which the Company engages; (7) unfavorable conditions in the capital markets; (8) challenges in opening additional branches, integrating acquisitions or introducing new products or services; and (9) other risks detailed in reports filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and the Company does not undertake to update forward-looking statements to reflect circumstances or events that occur after the date the forward-looking statements are made. For a more detailed description of the risk factors associated with the Companys businesses, please refer to Part II, Item 1A of this Form 10-Q, the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, and the Companys Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2009.
The assets, liabilities, and results of operations of the Companys tax refund and transfer programs (RAL and RT programs) are reported in its periodic filings with the SEC as a segment of its business. Because these are activities conducted by very few other financial institutions, users of the financial statements have indicated that they are interested in information for the Company exclusive of these programs so that they may compare the results of operations with financial institutions that do not have comparable programs. The amounts and ratios may generally be computed from the information provided in the notes to the financial statements that disclose segment information, but are computed and included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Report Form 10-Q for the convenience of those users.
Purpose and Definition of Terms
The following document includes executive managements (Management) insight of the Companys financial condition and results of operations of Pacific Capital Bancorp (PCB) and its subsidiaries. Unless otherwise stated, the Company refers to the consolidated entity, Pacific Capital Bancorp. The Company utilizes the term Core Bank throughout this Form 10-Q (10-Q). Core Bank is defined as the consolidated financial results less the financial results from the RAL and RT Programs and is interchangeably referred to as Excluding RAL and RT.
This discussion should be read in conjunction with the Companys 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K (2008 10-K). Terms and acronyms used throughout this document are defined in the glossary on pages 69 through 71.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The financial statements and notes included in this 10-Q should be read with reference to Pacific Capital Bancorps Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008.
Nature of Operations
PCB is a bank holding company organized under the laws of the state of California. PCB provides a full range of commercial and consumer banking services to households, professionals, and businesses through its wholly-owned subsidiary Pacific Capital Bank, National Association (PCBNA or the Bank). These banking services include depository, lending, and wealth management services. PCBNAs lending products include commercial, consumer, commercial and residential real estate loans and Small Business Administration (SBA) loans. PCBNA is also one of the largest nationwide providers of financial services related to the electronic filing of income tax returns including the RAL and RT business products. Depository services include checking, interest-bearing checking (NOW), money market (MMDA), savings, and certificate of deposit (CD) accounts, as well as safe deposit boxes, travelers checks, money orders, foreign exchange services, and cashiers checks. PCBNA offers a wide range of wealth management services through the Commercial & Wealth Management Group which includes two wholly-owned subsidiaries, Morton Capital Management (MCM) and R.E. Wacker and Associates, Inc. (REWA) and a 20% non-controlling interest in Veritas Wealth Advisors, LLC (Veritas), a registered investment advisor.
PCBNA conducts its banking services under five brand names: Santa Barbara Bank & Trust (SBB&T), First National Bank of Central California (FNB), South Valley National Bank (SVNB), San Benito Bank (SBB), and First Bank of San Luis Obispo (FBSLO). The SBB&T offices are located in Santa Barbara, Ventura and Los Angeles counties. Banking offices are located in eight counties in the central coast of California from Los Angeles to Santa Clara.
Basis of Presentation
The accounting and reporting policies of the Company are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) and conform to practices within the financial services industry. The accounts of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries are included in these Consolidated Financial Statements. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in conformity to GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amount of assets and liabilities as well as disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Although Management believes these estimates to be reasonably accurate, actual amounts may differ. In the opinion of Management, all adjustments considered necessary have been reflected in the financial statements during their preparation.
Certain amounts in the 2008 financial statements have been reclassified to be comparable with classifications used in the 2009 financial statements.
Consolidation of Subsidiaries
PCB has five wholly-owned subsidiaries. PCBNA, a banking subsidiary and four unconsolidated subsidiaries used as business trusts in connection with issuance of trust-preferred securities as described in Note 14, Long-term Debt and Other Borrowings of the 2008 10-K Consolidated Financials Statements.
PCBNA has four wholly-owned consolidated subsidiaries:
n | MCM and REWA, two registered investment advisors that provide investment advisory services to individuals, foundations, retirement plans and select institutional clients. |
n | SBBT RAL Funding Corp. which is utilized as part of the financing of the RAL program as described in Note 6, RAL and RT Programs. |
n | PCB Service Corporation, utilized as a trustee of deeds of trust in which PCBNA is the beneficiary. |
PCBNA also retains ownership in several low-income housing partnerships that generate tax credits. These partnerships are considered variable interest entities and are not consolidated into these Consolidated Financial Statements. At June 30, 2009, the Company had $54.2 million invested in these partnerships with $12.6 million of unfunded commitments which will be disbursed in future periods.
9
PCBNA has a 20% non-controlling interest in Veritas of $1.0 million of equity at risk. For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009, Veritas had an immaterial loss. PCBNAs share of Veritas loss is included in the Companys Consolidated Financial Statements using the equity method.
The Company does not have any other entities that should be considered for consolidation.
Segments
GAAP requires that the Company disclose certain information related to the performance of its business segments. Business segments are defined based on how the Chief Executive Officer of the Company views the Companys operations. Based on these guidelines, the Companys Management has determined that there are three operating segments: Community Banking, Commercial and Wealth Management Group and RAL and RT Programs. The All Other segment consists of the administrative support units and the Holding Company. The factors used in determining these reportable segments are defined in Note 15, Segments of this Form 10-Q and Note 24, Segments in the Consolidated Financial Statements of the 2008 10-K.
During the second quarter of 2009, the Company reviewed its goodwill for impairment in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS 142). Due to the increasingly uncertain economic environment, significant continued decline in market capitalization, and continued elevated credit losses, the Company fully impaired the goodwill for all reporting units in the amount of $128.7 million. As a result of the impairment charge recorded in the second quarter of 2009, the Company has no goodwill remaining on its balance sheet. Further disclosure regarding the impairment of goodwill is in Note 8, Goodwill of these consolidated financial statements.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Except as noted below, the significant accounting policies have not changed from those described in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Consolidated Financial Statements of the 2008 10-K.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 141(R), Business Combinations (SFAS 141(R)) and SFAS No. 160, Accounting and Reporting of Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51 (SFAS 160). SFAS 141(R) is required to be adopted concurrently with SFAS 160 and is effective for business combination transactions for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. This statement is in effect for the calendar year beginning January 1, 2009. There was no material impact on the Companys financial condition or results of operations from adoption of these accounting pronouncements.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activitiesan amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (SFAS No. 161). SFAS No. 161 amends and expands the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, and requires entities to provide enhanced qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair values and amounts of gains and losses on derivative contracts, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. SFAS No. 161 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. Management increased the disclosures for the derivative instruments held in the 2008 10-K Consolidated Financial Statements to comply with SFAS 161. The derivative holdings are not material to the Companys financial statements and, therefore the Company is not presenting additional disclosures in accordance with SFAS 161 for interim financial statements.
In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Positions (FSPs) Financial Accounting Standard (FAS) 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets (FSP FAS 142-3). FSP FAS 142-3 removes the requirement of SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS No. 142) for an entity to consider, when determining the useful life of an acquired intangible asset, whether the intangible asset can be renewed without substantial cost or material modifications to the existing terms and conditions associated with the intangible asset. FSP FAS 142-3 replaces the previous useful-life assessment criteria with a requirement that an entity shall consider its own experience in renewing similar arrangements. If the entity has no relevant experience, it would consider market participant assumptions regarding renewal. FSP FAS 142-3 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted FSP FAS 142-3 and it did not have a material impact on the Companys Consolidated Financial Statements.

In June 2008, the FASB issued FSP Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) 03-6-1, Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities (FSP EITF 03-6-1). FSP EITF 03-6-1 addresses whether instruments granted in share-based payment transactions are participating securities prior to vesting and, therefore, need to be included in the earnings allocation in computing earnings per share under the two-class method as described in SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share. Under the guidance in FSP EITF 03-6-1, unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents are participating securities and shall be included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. FSP EITF 03-6-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. All prior-period earnings per share data presented shall be adjusted retrospectively. The Company adopted FSP EITF 03-6-1 and it did not have a material impact on the Companys Consolidated Financial Statements.
On April 9, 2009, the FASB finalized three FSPs regarding the accounting treatment for investments. These FSPs changed the method for determining if an other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI) exists and the amount of OTTI to be recorded through an entitys income statement. The changes brought about by the FSPs provide greater clarity and reflect a more accurate representation of the credit and noncredit components of an OTTI event. The three FSPs are as follows:
1. | FSP SFAS 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Assets or Liability have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly provides additional guidelines for estimating fair value in accordance with the principles presented in SFAS 157, Fair Value Measurements when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased and identification of circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. |
2. | FSP SFAS 115-2 and SFAS 124-2, Recognition and Presentation of other-than-temporary impairments (FSP 115-2) amends OTTI guidance in U.S. GAAP for debt securities to make the guidance more operational and improves the presentation and disclosure of OTTI on debt and equity securities in financial statements. The transition adjustment required to adopt FSP 115-2 was $2.9 million, after tax which was reclassified from retained earnings to other comprehensive income (OCI) at June 30, 2009. |
3. | FSP SFAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments (FSP 107-1) enhances consistency in financial reporting by increasing the frequency of fair value disclosures to interim and annual financial reports of publicly traded companies. |
These staff positions are effective for financial statements issued for periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permissible for the first quarter of 2009. The Company elected not to early adopt any of the above positions. Management has completed its evaluation of the impact of these standards on the results of operations and financial position and there was not a material impact.
In May 2009, FASB issued SFAS No. 165 Subsequent Events, (SFAS 165) with the objective to establish general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. SFAS 165 sets forth: (i) the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements; (ii) the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements; and (iii) the disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. SFAS No. 165 is effective for interim and annual financial reports for periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company adopted SFAS No. 165 on June 30, 2009. The Company has completed an evaluation of subsequent events through August 10, 2009, the date of this filing and has disclosed a subsequent event. This subsequent event is disclosed in Note 17, Subsequent Events of these consolidated financial statements.
In June 2009, FASB issued SFAS No. 166 Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assetsan amendment of FASB Statement No. 140. (SFAS 166) The objective of SFAS 166 is to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial statements about a transfer of financial assets; the effects of a transfer on its financial position, financial performance, and cash flows; and a transferors continuing involvement in transferred financial assets. SFAS No. 166 shall be effective as of the beginning of each reporting entitys first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period, and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. Management has not started to evaluate the financial impact of this new accounting standard.
In June 2009, FASB issued SFAS No. 167 Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R) (SFAS 167) The objective of SFAS 167 is to amend certain requirements of FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), Consolidation of
11
Variable Interest Entities, to improve financial reporting by enterprises involved with variable interest entities and to provide more relevant and reliable information to users of financial statements. SFAS 167 shall be effective as of the beginning of each reporting entitys first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period, and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. Earlier application is prohibited. Management has not started to evaluate the financial impact of this new accounting standard.

Trading Securities
At June 30, 2009, the Company held $78.1 million of trading securities, a decrease of $135.8 million since December 31, 2008. This decrease was primarily from the sale of Mortgage Backed Securities (MBS) during the second quarter of 2009. The gain on sale of MBS during the second quarter of 2009 and 2008 was $4.5 million and $2.3 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the same periods in 2008, the market value of the securities held in the trading portfolio decreased by $4.2 million and $3.1 million, respectively. The valuation change and gain on sale of securities was recorded in non-interest income.
As discussed in the 2008 10-K, Note 22, Derivative Instruments, the Company had $50.0 million of treasury future contracts which were entered into in the third quarter of 2008. On April 17, 2009, the Treasury future contracts expired and, were not renewed.
Available for Sale (AFS) Securities
At June 30, 2009, the Company held $956.3 million of AFS Securities, a decrease of $222.4 million since December 31, 2008. A majority of this decrease was due to maturities, calls and paydowns of securities of $1.00 billion offset by purchases of $779.1 million. The remainder of the decrease was due to declining market values and reduced carrying balances of AFS.
As disclosed in Note 4, Securities of the Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2008 10-K, in the fourth quarter of 2007, Management changed its intent with regard to holding its AFS MBS until maturity or ultimate recovery. At April 1, 2009, impairment of AFS MBS was no longer considered impaired and no further impairments were recognized.
14
At April 1, 2009, the Company adopted FSP 115-2. In accordance with FSP 115-2, the Company identified $6.0 million of OTTI recognized in earnings for MBS that the Company currently held. Of the $6.0 million of OTTI recognized in earnings in prior periods, Management documented $4.9 million to be reclassified from retained earnings to OCI as the FSP 115-2 transition adjustment with the remaining $1.1 million attributable to credit loss. This amount was determined by comparing the present value of future cash flows to the expected cash flows to be received on an amortized cost basis including interest. Prior to reclassifying the $4.9 million from retained earnings to OCI, an adjustment for the corporate effective tax rate or $2.1 million was made. After tax, the net FSP 115-2 transition adjustment was determined to be a $2.9 million increase to retained earnings and a $2.9 million decrease to OCI at June 30, 2009.
The AFS securities that are in an unrealized loss position and temporarily impaired as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 are shown in the following table:

The $9.6 million and $10.0 million of unrealized losses for the AFS portfolio as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively, are a result of market interest rate fluctuations. The fair value is based on current market prices obtained from independent sources for each security held. The issuers of these securities have not, to the Companys knowledge, established any cause for default on these securities and the most recent ratings on all securities are investment grade. Management is aware of one Asset Backed Security (ABS) with a fair value of $832,000 held in the AFS portfolio that has some sub-prime home equity loans as the underlying collateral. The ABS currently has an investment rating of AAA and is fully collateralized. The Company has the ability and the intent to hold these securities until ultimate recovery or maturity.
Management has also reviewed the municipal bond portfolio for credit risk in accordance with FSP 115-2 and found that no credit risk existed at June 30, 2009. At June 30, 2009, gross unrealized losses related to municipal bonds were $5.5 million, of which $3.2 million related to municipal bonds that were in an unrealized loss position for longer than 12 months. Substantially all of these municipal bonds are general obligation bonds and revenue bonds and are rated AAA or AA by Moodys and/or Standard & Poor rating agencies. The historic default rates on municipal bonds with credit ratings of AAA and AA are extremely low. A review of the issuers credit profile is performed and an evaluation of price performance is conducted. The Bank does not intend to sell the municipal bonds with an unrealized loss position and it is not likely that the Bank will be required to sell these securities before recovery of their amortized cost basis, and as a result, the Bank believes that the municipal bonds with an unrealized loss are not other-than-temporarily impaired as of June 30, 2009.
Management has determined that there is not a credit loss component associated with all securities that are currently in a loss position. Management does not intend to sell any of the securities in a loss position nor are there any securities in a loss position that would require Management to sell them at June 30, 2009. As such, Management does not believe that there are any securities that are other-than-temporarily impaired as of June 30, 2009.

Interest Income
Interest income for trading and AFS securities was $13.9 million and $14.1 million for the three month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Interest income from securities classified as taxable for the comparable three month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 was $10.1 million and $10.9 million for the comparable periods and from securities classified as non-taxable was $3.8 million and $3.2 million.
Interest income for trading and AFS securities was $27.6 million and $29.0 million for the six month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The interest income from securities classified as taxable and non-taxable for the comparable six month periods of June 30, 2009 and 2008 was: taxable of $20.1 million and $22.9 million for the comparable periods and, non-taxable of $7.5 million and $6.1 million, respectively.

A valuation allowance is established for an impaired loan when the fair value of the loan is less than the recorded investment. In certain cases, portions of impaired loans are charged-off to realizable value instead of establishing a valuation allowance as identified in the table above as Impaired loans without specific valuation allowance. The valuation allowance disclosed above is included in the allowance for loan losses reported in the balance sheets as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008.
Impaired loans increased by $69.3 million when comparing the balance at June 30, 2009 to December 31, 2008. This increase is mostly attributed to the increase in the commercial real estate impaired loans which were $17.9 million at December 31, 2008 compared to $61.6 million at June 30, 2009, an increase of $43.7 million. In addition, impaired commercial loans increased by $13.7 million and impaired residential real estate loans increased by $7.8 million since December 31, 2008 compared to June 30, 2009.
The table below reflects the average balance and interest recognized for impaired loans for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008.

The increase in the average balance of impaired loans during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009 compared to the same periods in 2008, is primarily due to the continued downturn of the economy which started in the latter part of 2008. A majority of the increase in the average balance of impaired loans for the comparable periods are from commercial real estate loans and construction loans. At June 30, 2009, impaired construction loans were $120.5 million, impaired commercial real estate loans were $61.6 million and impaired commercial loans were $35.8 million.
Refund Anticipation Loans
Information and disclosures related to RALs and the securitization of RALs are included in Note 6, RAL and RT Programs of these Consolidated Financial Statements.
Pledged Loans
At June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, loans secured by first trust deeds on residential and commercial property with principal balances totaling $1.09 billion and $1.29 billion, respectively, were pledged as collateral to the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco (FRB); and $2.70 billion and $2.98 billion, respectively, were pledged to the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB). The amount of loans pledged does not represent the amount of outstanding borrowings at the FRB or the FHLB.

The Company has recorded a $350,000 liability associated with the unearned portion of the letter of credit fees for these guarantees as of June 30, 2009 compared to $453,000 at December 31, 2008.
The Company has exposure to loan losses from unfunded loan commitments and letters of credit. As funds have not been disbursed on these commitments, they are not reported as loans outstanding. Loan losses related to these commitments are not included in the allowance for loan losses reported in Note 7, Allowance for Loan Losses of this Form 10-Q and are accounted for as a separate loss contingency as a liability. This loss contingency for the unfunded loan commitments and letters of credit was $22.6 million at June 30, 2009, an increase of $14.6 million since December 31, 2008. Changes to this liability are adjusted through other non-interest expense and are disclosed in the table below as Additions, net. The increase in the reserve for off balance sheet is further explained in Note 12, Other Income and Expense of these consolidated financial statements.

5. LOAN SALES AND TRANSACTIONS
During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company sold residential real estate and SBA loans. In the first quarter of 2008, the Company also sold RALs. A summary of the activity is discussed below.
Residential Real Estate Loans
In September 2008, the Company began originating residential real estate loans for sale from the Community Banking segment. In the three and six month periods ending June 30, 2009, the Company sold $42.3 million and $86.6 million, respectively of residential real estate loans and recognized a gain on sale of $543,000 and $1.1 million, respectively. Of the residential loans sold for the three and six month periods ending June 30, 2009, $5.5 million and $13.7 million, respectively of loans were sold with servicing retained and a servicing right was recorded.
18
On January 4, 2008, the Company re-characterized $68.2 million of adjustable rate residential real estate loans from the Community Banking segment to MBS held in the Companys trading portfolio with a discounted par amount of $67.6 million. The Company retained the servicing on the loans sold at a rate of 25 basis points and recognized a servicing right of $402,000. Any resulting gain or loss for this transaction will be realized by the Company when the securities received in the re-characterization are sold. During the second quarter of 2009, $30.6 million of these securities were sold and, a gain on sale of $1.4 million was recognized.
SBA Loans
The Company occasionally sells the guaranteed portion of selected SBA 7(a) loans into the secondary market, on a servicing retained basis. During the second quarter of 2009, the Company sold $5.6 million of the guaranteed portion of selected SBA 7(a) loans for a premium. For the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company sold $6.2 million, and $2.2 million of the guaranteed portion of selected SBA 7(a) loans, respectively. The Company recorded nominal servicing rights and net gains on the sold loans during the three and six months ended June 30, 2009. The Company recorded a net gain on SBA loans sales of $142,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2008. As of January 1, 2009, the SBA lending activities are included in the Community Banking Segment.
RALs
The Company did not utilize a securitization facility for RALs in 2009. In the first quarter of 2008, the Company sold $2.21 billion of RALs into a securitization facility through SBBT RAL Funding Corp. and recognized a net gain on sale of RALs of $44.6 million. A detailed description of RALs sold through the securitization is discussed in Note 6, RAL and RT Programs of the Consolidated Financial Statements of this Form 10-Q. The income generated by the sale of RALs is reported in the RAL and RT segment.
6. RAL AND RT PROGRAMS
RAL and RT Programs
The Company sells two products related to the electronic filing of tax returns. The products are designed to provide taxpayers with faster access to funds claimed by them as a refund on their tax returns. This access may be in the form of a loan from the Company secured by the refund claim, a RAL, or in the form of a facilitated electronic transfer or check prepared by their tax preparer, a RT. The RAL and RT Programs are highly seasonal. Approximately 90% of the activity occurs in the first quarter of each year. For additional financial information on the RAL and RT programs for the comparable periods see the discussion below and Note 7, RAL and RT Programs of the Consolidated Financial Statements of the 2008 10-K.
Refund Anticipation Loans
RALs are short-term consumer loans offered to taxpayers, secured by their anticipated tax refund and subject to an underwriting process prior to approval. At the request of the taxpayer, the refund claim is paid by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to the Bank once the tax return has been processed. This constitutes the source of repayment of the RAL. Funds received from the IRS above the sum of the RAL less associated contractual fees are remitted to the taxpayer by the Bank.
The RAL funds advanced by the Bank are generally repaid by the IRS within several weeks. Therefore, the processing costs and provision for loan loss represent the major costs of these loans. This cost structure is different than for other loans since usually the cost of funds is the major cost in making a loan. Because of RALs short duration, the Bank cannot recover the processing costs through interest collected over the term of the loan. PCBNA has structured the fees to have a fixed component to cover processing costs and a variable component to cover loan losses and the cost of funds. The customer signs a promissory note which requires the Company to report fees received for RALs as interest income.
Net interest income for RALs for the three month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 was $895,000 and $2.9 million, respectively. Net interest income for RALs for the six month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 was $141.0 million and $104.1 million, respectively. As discussed above, approximately 90% of the activity occurs in the first quarter each year.

For the 2008 and 2009 RAL seasons, any outstanding RAL that is determined to be uncollectible at June 30th has been charged-off for the current RAL season. Regardless of the balance of RALs at June 30th, all RALs are charged-off by December 31st of each year. At June 30, 2009 and 2008, the outstanding RAL balance was $1.0 million. As of the date of this Form 10-Q filing, a majority of the RALs outstanding at June 30, 2009 have been collected. Management expects the remaining balance of RALs will be collected by the end of the third quarter of 2009. There was no allowance for loan loss for RAL at June 30, 2009 and 2008.

Total Fees |
$ | 12,754 | $ | 12,247 | $ | 219,162 | $ | 176,953 | ||||||||
Total RAL fees increased by $42.8 million or 39.4% to $151.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to $108.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008. This increase was due to the Bank not securitizing and selling RALs in 2009 which contributed approximately $64.1 million to the gain on RAL loans in 2008. RAL volume decreased by 16% for the comparable six month periods in 2009 and 2008 which contributed to the decline in fees by approximately $26.7 million including those recognized as a component of the securitization. Total RT fees decreased by $640,000 due to an increase in volume offset by a decrease in average fee collected of approximately one dollar. Total RT transactions increased by 137,000 or 2.2% from 6.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to 6.3 million for the six
20
months ended June 30, 2008. Fees earned on RTs are recognized in non-interest income as a separate line item, Refund transfer fees.
RAL Allowance and Provision for loan losses
RAL provision for loan losses was ($1.6) million and ($6.4) million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, RAL provision for loan losses was $80.6 million and $26.4 million, respectively. The increased provision for loan losses on RALs for the comparable periods is due to the IRS remitting funds differently than in past years and holding-up more tax returns for review pending additional taxpayer information to be provided before processing. Losses associated with RALs result from the IRS not remitting funds associated with a particular tax return. This occurs for a number of reasons, including errors in the tax return and tax return fraud. In addition, $14.9 million of loan losses was included in 2008 gain on sale of RALs as a reduction.
Refund Anticipation Loan Securitizations
Management was not able to set-up a securitization facility for the 2009 RAL season due to the current economic conditions and current United States credit crisis. The securitization used in prior years assisted in removing RALs from the Banks balance sheet which helped maintain capital ratios at an adequately capitalized level. In preparation for the 2009 RAL season and to replace the unavailability of a securitization facility, the Bank raised $1.28 billion of funding through brokered CDs and a syndicated funding line of $524 million which was drawn upon during the peak of the 2009 RAL season.
In 2008, the Bank sold $2.21 billion of RALs into a securitization facility through the SBBT RAL Funding Corp during the six month period ended June 30, 2008. The net gain on sale of RALs was $44.6 million. In the calculation of the net gain on sale of RALs, the RAL fees received on securitized loans are reduced by the direct costs of the securitization (fees paid to investor, commitment fees paid and other fees paid) and loan losses. A summary of the components of the net gain on sale of RALs is in the table below:

The allowance for loan losses was $258.0 million at June 30, 2009, an increase of $184.7 million when comparing the balance at June 30, 2008. The increase to the allowance for loan losses was directionally consistent with the recent elevated credit losses experienced by the Company. Further, in recognition of these recent credit losses and the continued deterioration of the general economic environment, the Company shortened the timeframe utilized for estimating historical loss rates in its calculations of the SFAS 5, Accounting for Contingencies (SFAS 5) component of the allowance (i.e., reserve for non-impaired loans calculated on a loan pool basis). The shortened timeframe placed more weight on the recent history of increased losses during 2009, which resulted in a substantial increase in the allowance. While all loans identified in accordance with SFAS 114, Accounting by Creditors for the Impairment of a Loan (SFAS 114) have been written down to net realizable value, this significant increase in the allowance for loan loss (ALL) indicates continued concern and loss within the Companys remaining loans in each portfolio. In addition, the 2009 RAL season experienced a higher loss rate of RALs.
8. GOODWILL
Goodwill is created when a company acquires a business. When a business is purchased, the purchased assets and liabilities are recorded at fair value and intangible assets are identified. The fair value of most financial assets and liabilities are determined by estimating the discounted anticipated cash flows from the instrument using current market rates applicable to each asset and liability. Excess of consideration paid to acquire a business over the fair value of the net assets is recorded as goodwill. This process is similar to that used when a Company purchases another company in accordance with SFAS 141, Business Combinations (SFAS 141). SFAS 141 provides guidance for allocating the purchase price to assets and liabilities and identifying and qualifying intangible assets.
22
In the second quarter of 2009, Management concluded that the entire balance of goodwill at all reporting units was impaired and recorded a $128.7 million impairment charge. This was due to the increasingly uncertain economic environment, significant continued decline in market capitalization, and continued elevated credit losses. The analysis was performed in accordance with SFAS 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS 142).
SFAS 142 consists of a two-part test to determine the fair value of goodwill. In Step 1 the fair value of the reporting unit is determined and compared to its carrying value. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, the company must proceed with Step 2, which requires allocating the reporting units fair value to its financial and intangible assets and liabilities. The implied fair value of goodwill is the excess value after allocation to all financial and intangible assets and liabilities.
In order to determine the fair value of each reporting unit, the Company relied on an independent third party to assist with the valuation. The fair value of each reporting unit was determined using a combination of valuation methodologies based on market multiples of guideline companies and discounted cash flow analysis for those reporting units where cash flow projections could be developed. For those reporting units which had goodwill allocated to them at June 30, 2009, the book value or carrying value prior to the impairment of goodwill was:

$ | 6,544 |
All of the Companys reporting units failed Step 1 of the annual SFAS 142 impairment analysis in the second quarter of 2009. This required the Company to proceed with the Step 2 analysis for each reporting unit. As a result of the Step 1 and Step 2 analysis to determine the implied fair value of goodwill combined with Managements assessment of goodwill, a determination was made to take an $128.7 million full impairment of goodwill. The impairment of goodwill by reporting unit was:

Total |
$ | 128,710 | |
The calculation of goodwill impairment requires significant estimates by Management for each reporting unit, such as which peer companies to use, the application of market multiples of publicly traded peer companies and, a determination of the appropriate control premium, if any, the forecasting of future income, a calculation of discounted cash flows and, other methodologies used to obtain the fair value of the underlying financial and intangible assets and liabilities. While the guidance under SFAS 142 to calculate goodwill impairment is largely substantively driven, Management also considered certain qualitative factors in concluding to fully impair the Companys goodwill. These factors included: i) current economic conditions in the Companys markets, ii) the prolonged deterioration that has occurred throughout the banking and financial services industry and related valuations of such companies, including the Companys, from a capital markets perspective, iii) the deteriorated condition of the Company as evidenced by continued current quarterly losses, and iv) requirements under the Banks MOU with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) for increased capital levels which, to date, the Bank has not been able to achieve. The goodwill impairment testing is performed by Management with the assistance and input of a third party.
For additional information regarding Goodwill and Intangible Assets refer to the Critical Accounting Policies within the MD&A of the Companys 2008 Form 10-K on page 65 and in Note 1, Significant Accounting Polices of the Consolidated Financial Statements of the 2008 10-K.

9. DEFERRED TAX ASSET AND TAX PROVISION
The Company is permitted to recognize deferred tax assets (DTA) only to the extent that they are expected to be used to reduce amounts that have been paid or will be paid to tax authorities. Management has considered all available evidence in determining whether a DTA valuation allowance is needed. For the three year period between January 1, 2007 through December 31, 2009, the Company projects a cumulative pretax loss. Due to rapidly deteriorating market and economic conditions and large loss of income in the second quarter of 2009, the Company has determined that there is not sufficient additional positive evidence to support the realization of its DTA beyond the amount of $55.2 million that can be realized from the carryback of the 2009 net operating loss to tax years 2008 and 2007. Available negative evidence includes a 2008 pretax loss and high exposure to an uncertain economic climate.
Management will continue to assess the impact of Company performance and the economic climate on the realizability of its DTA on a quarterly basis.
For the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company recorded $16.3 million of tax expense on a pretax loss of $349.2 million. The Companys effective tax rate was 4.7%, compared to 2008s full year rate of 44.9%. Excluding the impact of a goodwill impairment charge of $128.7 million, the effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2009 would have been 7.4%. The $16.3 million tax expense is primarily attributable to the creation of a DTA valuation allowance of $114 million against a DTA of the same amount and a tax receivable of $55.2 million for the anticipated refunds resulting from the carryback of the 2009 net operating loss to tax years 2008 and 2007.

11. POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS
All eligible retirees may obtain health insurance coverage through the Companys Retiree Health Plan. The Company is required to recognize its portion of the cost of the benefits as the eligible retirees earn the benefits rather than when the benefits are paid. The commitment is recognized in the financial statements. For a comprehensive explanation of these benefits see Note 15, Postretirement Benefits of the Consolidated Financial Statements in the 2008 10-K.

At the end of each year, the Company contracts a third party to estimate the amount of the Companys required liability for postretirement benefits and to forecast the postretirement benefit expense for the following year. As of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company has recorded a liability for postretirement benefits of $13.7 million and $13.8 million, respectively.
12. OTHER INCOME AND EXPENSE
Other Income
Within the line item of other income are losses from low-income housing partnerships which have generated tax credits in previous periods as disclosed on page 9 of these consolidated financial statements. The losses from these partnerships were $892,000 and $2.6 million for the second quarter of 2009 and, 2008, respectively, and $1.8 million and $3.2 million for the six month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. As disclosed in Note 9, Deferred Tax Asset and Tax Provision, at June 30, 2009, the DTA has a valuation allowance for the current balance of the DTA, the Company can no longer generate tax credits associated with the low-income housing partnerships. The Company evaluated these investments for impairment under EITF No. 94-1, Accounting for Tax Benefits Resulting from Investments in Affordable Housing Projects and Accounting Pronouncement Bulletin 18, The Equity Method of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock using the fair value approach and Management concluded that there was no impairment at June 30, 2009.

Other expenses have increased by $27.3 and $25.8 million when comparing the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008. A majority of these increases are attributable to an increase in reserve for off balance sheet commitments and increased regulatory assessments for Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insurance premiums.
The increase in reserve for off balance sheet commitments of $13.3 million and $11.3 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009 compared to June 30, 2008 are to cover inherent losses from binding loan commitments to the extent that they are expected to be funded. Included in this reserve are off-balance sheet obligations such as letters of credit, with commercial loan customers and commitments for lines of credit and all types of loans. The calculation of this reserve uses the same qualitative factors as employed in the on-balance sheet allowance for loan loss methodology. This increase to the allowance for loan losses was directionally consistent with the recent elevated credit losses experienced by the Company. Further, in recognition of these recent credit losses and the continued deterioration of the general economic environment, the Company shortened the timeframe utilized for estimating historical loss rates in its calculations of the SFAS 5 component of the allowance (i.e., reserve for non-impaired loans calculated on a loan pool basis). The shortened timeframe placed more weight on the recent history of increased losses, which resulted in a substantial increase in the reserve.
The increase in regulatory assessments of $8.2 million and $9.4 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009 compared to June 30, 2008 are due to increased FDIC insurance premiums and, a one time special assessment of $3.5 million which was required to be accrued for by June 30, 2009.
The increased consulting and professional expenses in 2009 are primarily from consulting expenses associated with Board of Director and executive management strategic initiatives. Software expense declined in 2009 due to additional depreciation expense in 2008. FHLB prepayment penalties where incurred due to prepayment of FHLB advances. FHLB advances were prepaid due to Managements goal to meet the elevated capital ratios required by the OCC as disclosed in Note 16, Regulatory Matters of these consolidated financial statements.

13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Leasing of Premises
The Company leases the majority of its locations. Substantially all of these leases contain multiple renewal options and provisions for increases to lease payments. As of June 30, 2009, the minimum obligations under non-cancelable leases for the next five years and thereafter are shown in the table below. These amounts are not adjusted for the contractual obligations of sub-tenants owed to the Company. Sub-tenants lease obligations to the Company were approximately $3.7 million at June 30, 2009. Approximately 73% of these payments are due to the Company over the next three years.
The following table summarizes the contractual lease obligations at June 30, 2009:

Legal
1. | The Company has been a defendant in a class action lawsuit brought on behalf of persons who entered into a refund anticipation loan application and agreement (the RAL Agreement) with the Company from whose tax refund the Company deducted a debt owed by the applicant to another RAL lender. The lawsuit was filed on March 18, 2003 in the Superior Court in San Francisco, California as Canieva Hood and Congress of California Seniors v. Santa Barbara Bank & Trust, Pacific Capital Bank, N.A., and Jackson-Hewitt, Inc. The Company is a party to a separate cross-collection agreement with each of the other RAL lenders by which it agrees to collect sums due to those other lenders on delinquent RALs by deducting those sums from tax refunds due to its RAL customers and remitting those funds to the RAL lender to whom the debt is owed. This cross-collection procedure is disclosed in the RAL Agreement with the RAL customer and is specifically authorized and agreed to by the customer. The plaintiff does not contest the validity of the debt, but contends that the cross-collection is illegal and requests damages on behalf of the class, injunctive relief against the Company, restitution of sums collected, punitive damages and attorneys fees. Venue for this suit was changed to Santa Barbara. The Company filed an answer to the complaint and a cross complaint for indemnification against the other RAL lenders. On May 4, 2005, a superior court judge in Santa Barbara granted a motion filed by the Company and the other RAL lenders, which resulted in the entry of a judgment in favor of the Company dismissing the suit. |
The plaintiffs filed an appeal. On September 29, 2006, the Court of Appeal, in a 2-1 decision, issued an opinion which held that the claims in the Complaint that the Company had violated certain California consumer protection laws were not preempted by Federal law and regulations. The Company and the Cross-Defendants filed a petition for writ of certiorari with the United States Supreme Court seeking to reverse the Court of Appeals opinion. The petition was denied. |
The plaintiff filed an amended complaint in the superior court. The Company filed a demurrer to the cause of action in the amended complaint based on the California Consumers Legal Remedies Act. The superior court granted the demurrer without leave to amend. The plaintiffs petition for writ of mandate seeking to reverse the superior courts decision was denied by the Court of Appeal. The plaintiff filed an appeal to the California Supreme Court which was denied. |
A Sixth Amended Complaint was filed which added an additional plaintiff, Tyree Bowman. The Company filed an answer to the complaint. |
The plaintiff, the Company, the other defendant and the cross-defendants have entered into an agreement to settle the case. Following a hearing on April 29, 2009, the Court approved the settlement and ordered that judgment be entered consistent with the settlement agreement. The judgment is now final. The judgment will not have a material effect on the Companys financial position, results of operation or cash flow. |
27
2. | The Company is involved in various lawsuits of a routine nature that are being handled and defended in the ordinary course of the Companys business. Expenses are being incurred in connection with defending the Company, but in the opinion of Management, based in part on consultation with legal counsel, the resolution of these lawsuits will not have a material impact on the Companys financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. |
14. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities. AFS and trading securities are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Additionally, the Company may be required to record other assets and liabilities at fair value on a non-recurring basis. These non-recurring fair value adjustments involve the lower of cost or market accounting and write downs resulting from impairment of assets.
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157) establishes a framework for measuring fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. The three levels are defined as follows:
Level 1: |
Observable quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. | |
Level 2: |
Observable quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market. | |
Level 3: |
Model-based techniques that use at least one significant assumption not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include use of option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques. |
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments that are recognized at fair value on a recurring and non-recurring basis:
Securities
AFS and trading securities are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Where quoted prices are available in an active market for identical assets, securities are classified within level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. The Companys securities are quoted using observable market information for similar assets which requires the company to report and use level 2 pricing for all securities except the U.S. Treasury Obligations which are quoted using an active market for identical assets or level 1 pricing. If observable market information is not available and there is limited activity or less transparency around inputs, securities would be classified within level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.
Loans Held for Sale
Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or market. The fair value of loans held for sale is based on what secondary markets are currently offering for portfolios with similar characteristics or based on the agreed upon sale price. As such, the Company classifies loans held for sale as a non-recurring valuation within level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. At June 30, 2009, the Company had loans held for sale with an aggregate carrying value of $20.7 million. At December 31, 2008, the Company had loans held for sale with an aggregate carrying value of $11.1 million and an estimated fair value of $11.3 million.
Impaired Loans
Impaired loans under SFAS 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan (SFAS 114), consists of loans which are secured by collateral and unsecured loans. Under SFAS 157, collateralized loans are further segregated into impaired loans with current market valuations and other valuation techniques which are excluded by SFAS 157. The impaired loans in the tables below are loans which are collateralized and that have current market valuations.
The Company records certain loans at fair value on a non-recurring basis. When a loan is considered impaired, an allowance for loan losses is established. SFAS 157 applies to loans measured for impairment using the practical expedients method permitted by SFAS 114. Impaired loans are measured at an observable market price, if available or at the fair value of the loans collateral, if the loan is collateral dependent. The fair value of the loans collateral is determined by appraisals or independent valuation which is then adjusted for the cost related to liquidation of the collateral. When the fair value of the loans collateral is based on an observable market price or current appraised value, given the current real estate markets, the appraisals may contain a wide range of values and depend on unobservable significant valuation inputs, and accordingly, the Company classifies the impaired loans as a non-recurring level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. When the Company measures impairment using
28
anything but an observable market price or a current appraised value, the fair value measurement is not in the scope of SFAS 157 and is not included in the tables below.
Other Intangible Assets
The Company recorded intangible assets for identified core deposit intangibles, customer relationship intangibles and other intangibles that were acquired with the acquisitions of Pacific Crest Capital, Inc. (PCCI), FBSLO, MCM and REWA. The value and estimated run-off of the intangibles are determined at the time of purchase based on a valuation prepared by a third party. Monthly amortization of intangibles are accounted for based on a forecasted run-off of the customer deposit and relationship intangible using a discounted cash flow approach which is prepared at the time the intangibles are identified at the date of purchase. These assets are analyzed quarterly to compare the amortization to the actual deposit and customer relationship run-off. If the actual run-off is more than the scheduled amortization a write-down of the intangible asset is accounted for. As such, the Company records these assets at fair value and the adjustments are classified as non-recurring level 3 in the valuation hierarchy.
Servicing Rights
Servicing rights are carried at the lower of aggregate cost or estimated fair value. Servicing rights are subject to quarterly impairment testing. When the fair value of the servicing rights is lower than their carrying value, impairment is recorded by reducing the right to the current fair value. The Company uses independent third parties to value the servicing rights. The valuation model takes into consideration discounted cash flows using current interest rates, and prepayment speeds for each type of the underlying asset being serviced. The Company classifies these servicing rights as non-recurring level 3 in the valuation hierarchy. For the three month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company reduced the carrying value of the servicing rights by $255,000 and $124,000, respectfully due to amortization. For the six month period ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company reduced the carrying value of the servicing rights by $445,000 and $294,000 respectfully due to amortization. For the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company reduced the carrying value of the servicing rights by $202,000 and $467,000, respectively, due to changes in the fair value.
Derivatives
The Companys swap derivatives are not listed on an exchange and are instead executed over the counter (OTC). As no quoted market prices exist for such instruments, the Company values these OTC derivatives primarily based on the broker pricing indications and in consideration of the risk of counterparty nonperformance. OTC interest rate swap key valuation inputs are observable interest rate and/or yield curves and do not require significant judgment, and accordingly, the swap values are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

There were no liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis at June 30, 2009 or December 31, 2008. In addition, there were no transfers in or out of the Companys level 3 financial assets and liabilities for the six month periods ended June 30, 2009.
In accordance with FSP 107-1, the financial instruments in the following table represent financial assets and liabilities which are not carried at fair value on the Companys balance sheet and/or otherwise disclosed in the recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements in this note.
The financial instruments disclosed in this note include such items as securities, loans, deposits, debt, derivatives, and other instruments. Disclosure of fair values is not required for certain items such as obligations for pension and other postretirement benefits, premises and equipment, other real estate owned, goodwill, prepaid expenses, core deposit intangibles and other customer relationships, other intangible assets and income tax assets and liabilities. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value of amounts presented in this note does not purport to represent, and should not be considered representative of, the underlying market or franchise value of the Company. Further, due to a variety of alternative valuation techniques and approaches permitted by the fair value measurement accounting standards as well as significant assumptions that are required to be made in the process of valuation and could and do differ between various market participants, a direct comparison of the Companys fair value information with that of other financial institutions may not be appropriate. For purposes of this analysis, fair value is defined as the amount at which an asset (or liability) could be bought (or incurred) or sold (or settled) in a current transaction between willing parties, that is, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments determined practicable to estimate the fair value:
Cash and Due from Banks
The carrying values of cash and interest-bearing demand deposits in other financial institutions are the fair value.
Net Loans Held for Investment, net
The current pricing of the held for investment loans reflects a significant discount to their carrying value. The loans held for investment were adversely affected by a significant reduction in or lack of liquidity as well as unprecedented disruptions in the financial markets. As a result, the fair values for these loans as disclosed is substantially less than what the Company believes is indicated by their performance and Managements view of the expected cash flows.
Deposits
The fair value of demand deposits, money market accounts, and savings accounts is the amount payable on demand as of December 31 of each year. The fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit is estimated by discounting the interest and principal payments using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.
Long-term Debt and Other Borrowings
For FHLB advances, the fair value is estimated using rates currently quoted by the FHLB for advances of similar remaining maturities. For subordinated debt and trust preferred stock issued, the fair value is estimated by discounting the interest and principal payments using current market rates for comparable securities. For treasury tax and loan obligations, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.
Repurchase Agreements and Federal Funds Purchased
For Federal funds purchased the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of their fair value. The fair value of repurchase agreements is determined by reference to rates in the wholesale repurchase market. The rates paid to the Companys customers are slightly lower than rates in the wholesale market and, consequently, the fair value will generally be less than the carrying amount. The fair value of the long-term repurchase agreements is determined in the same manner as for the subordinated debt described above.
15. SEGMENTS
In January 2009, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) presented his strategic vision for the Company to the Board of Directors and determined that the Commercial Banking and Wealth Management segments should be combined into one segment. The newly combined segment is called the Commercial & Wealth Management Group. The new Commercial & Wealth Management Group provides products and services to meet the needs of middle market companies and high net-worth individuals under one platform and one manager. The same services and products continue to be offered as
33
described in the 2008 10-K for the Commercial and Wealth Management segments but, under one platform with a common business model. The new combined segment will no longer offer SBA loans as these products service small businesses and are offered through the Community Banking segment.
The Company has three operating lines of business for segment reporting purposes including Community Banking, Commercial & Wealth Management Group and RAL and RT Programs. The reported financial results for each respective business are based on Management assumptions, which allocate balance sheet and income statement items to each segment based on the type of customer and the types of products and services offered. If the Management structure and or allocation process changes, allocations, transfers and assignments may change. A detailed description of each segment and, the products, services and customers from which revenues are derived for each segment are disclosed within the Companys 2008 10-K Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 24, Segments.
The following tables present information for each specific operating segment regarding assets, profit or loss, and specific items of revenue and expense that is included in that measure of segment profit or loss as reviewed by the CEO. Included in the table is an All Other segment which includes the administrative support units, the Holding Company and balancing of the funding uses and sources activity that is not allocated to the four operating segments.

As referenced in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, certain amounts in the table above have been reclassified from 2008 to 2009 for comparability.
As disclosed in the 2008 10-K, Note 24, Segments, in the third quarter of 2008, during the periodic SFAS 142 goodwill impairment analysis process, the Company was required to re-allocate goodwill due to changes made to the reportable segments based on each segments pro-rata fair value.
During the process of re-allocating goodwill, several of the assets and liabilities which had been reported in the All Other segment were re-allocated to the appropriate operating segment based on usage by each operating segment. The process of allocating the assets and liabilities to re-balance the balance sheets at the individual segment level is how the indirect credit (charge) for funds is accounted for within the tables above. The indirect credit (charge) for funds is the interest income, interest expense, non-interest income and non-interest expense associated with the transfers of the assets and liabilities to the operating segments.
At June 30, 2009, the Company impaired all of the goodwill for each reporting unit. The impairment of goodwill by reporting unit is as follows:

The impairment of goodwill is reported in non-interest expense in the tables above. The estimates utilized and the accounting guidance which led to the impairment of Goodwill is disclosed in Note 8, Goodwill of these consolidated financial statements.
Included in indirect credit (charge) for funds is an allocation of non-interest expense from the All Other segment for the services provided by the administrative support units which include the Companys executive administration, risk management, information technology, marketing, credit administration, human resources, corporate real estate, legal, treasury and finance based on the estimated use of each departments services.

16. REGULATORY MATTERS
PCB and PCBNA each entered into a memorandum of understanding with its respective principal banking regulator during the second quarter of 2009. A memorandum of understanding is characterized by regulatory authorities as an informal action that is not published or publicly available and that is used when circumstances warrant a milder form of action than a formal supervisory action, such as a formal written agreement or order.
PCBNA entered into a memorandum of understanding with the OCC on April 16, 2009 (the OCC Memorandum). Under the OCC Memorandum, PCBNA agreed to develop and implement an updated three-year strategic plan with goals and plans to maintain adequate capital and ensure sustained earnings, and enhanced written programs designed to (i) manage the risk in its commercial real estate and residential real estate loan portfolios, (ii) reduce its classified assets, (iii) strengthen its collection efforts relating to delinquent residential real estate loans, (iv) ensure that it recognizes loss relating to delinquent residential real estate loans in a timely manner, and (v) ensure that the risk associated with its commercial loan portfolio is properly reflected and accounted for in its books and records. PCBNA agreed to provide notice and obtain the non-objection of the OCC prior to declaring dividends to PCB and prior to making certain changes to its directors or senior executive officers. In addition, PCBNA agreed to maintain a minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio of 8.5% as of June 30, 2009 and 9.0% as of September 30, 2009, and a minimum total risk based capital ratio of 11.0% as of June 30, 2009 and 12.0% as of September 30, 2009. The Board of Directors of PCBNA has established a compliance committee comprised entirely of non-management directors and has retained a consulting firm to assist with PCBNAs compliance with the provisions of the OCC Memorandum.
At June 30, 2009, PCBNA had a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 5.7% and total risk based capital ratio of 11.2%. While both of these ratios exceed the minimum ratios required to be classified as well capitalized under regulatory guidelines, the Tier 1 leverage ratio was not sufficient to meet the higher level that PCBNA agreed to maintain under its agreement with the OCC. As a result, PCBNA may be subject to further supervisory action, which could have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial condition and business.
PCB entered into a memorandum of understanding with the FRB on May 18, 2009 (the FRB Memorandum). Under the FRB Memorandum, PCB agreed to develop and implement written plans designed to strengthen board oversight of the management and operations of PCBNA, maintain sufficient capital at PCB and PCBNA and service PCBs obligations without incurring additional debt. PCB also agreed to provide notice and obtain the prior approval of the FRB prior to (i) receiving dividends from PCBNA, (ii) declaring or paying any dividends to its shareholders, (iii) incurring, renewing, increasing or guaranteeing any debt or purchasing, redeeming or otherwise acquiring any of its capital stock, (iv) making any payments on its trust preferred securities, and (v) making certain changes to its directors or senior executive officers.
If the Companys current rate of operating losses continue the Companys existing capital resources will not satisfy its capital requirements for the foreseeable future and will not be sufficient to offset any additional problem assets. Further, should the Companys asset quality erode and require significant additional provision for credit losses, resulting in additional net operating losses, the Companys capital levels will decline and it will need to raise capital to maintain its well-capitalized status and satisfy its agreements with the regulators. The Companys ability to raise additional capital, if needed, will depend on conditions in the capital markets at that time, which are outside the Companys control, and on the Companys financial performance. Accordingly, the Company cannot be certain of its ability to raise additional capital if needed or on acceptable terms. If the Company cannot raise additional capital when needed, its results of operations and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected. In addition, if the Company were to raise additional capital through the issuance of additional shares, its stock price could be adversely affected, depending on the terms of any shares it were to issue.
PCB and PCBNA are committed to addressing and resolving the issues raised by their principal banking regulators, and the Board of Directors and management of each have initiated corrective actions to comply with the provisions of the respective memoranda.
17. SUBSEQUENT EVENT
On July 31, 2009, Moodys Investor Services downgraded the ratings of the Company from Baa1 to Caa1, the long term deposits of the Bank from Baa3 to B1, the financial strength of the Bank from D+ to E+, and the short-term debt of the Bank from Prime-3 to Not Prime, and the long-term debt of the Bank remains on review for possible downgrade. On July 31, 2009, Dominion Bond Rating Service (DBRS) downgraded the ratings of the Company from BB (high) to B, the senior debt of the Company from BB (high) to B, and the deposits and senior debt of the Bank from BBB to BB, and all ratings remain Under Review with Negative Implications. These lower ratings, and any further ratings downgrades, could make it more difficult for the Company to access the capital markets going forward, as the cost to borrow or raise debt or equity capital could become more expensive. Although the cost of PCBNAs primary funding sources (deposits and FHLB borrowings) is not influenced directly by PCB and PCBNA credit ratings, no assurance can be given that PCBNAs credit rating will not have any impact on our access to deposits and FHLB borrowings. Long-term debt ratings also factor into the calculation of deposit insurance premiums, and a reduction in PCBNAs ratings would increase premiums and expense.

ITEM 2. | MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
This discussion is designed to provide insight into Managements assessment of significant trends related to the Companys consolidated financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital resources, and interest rate sensitivity. It should be read in conjunction with the 2008 10-K and unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and notes hereto and the other financial information appearing elsewhere in this report.
OVERVIEW AND HIGHLIGHTS
Net loss for the second quarter of 2009 was $362.6 million or ($7.77) per share to common stockholders, compared with net loss of $5.9 million, or ($0.13) per share to common stockholders, reported for the second quarter of 2008. Net loss for the six month period ended June 30, 2009 was $370.5 million or ($7.94) per share to common stockholders, compared with net income of $66.6 million or $1.43 per diluted share for the six month period ended June 30, 2008.
The significant factors impacting the Companys net loss for the three and six month periods ending June 30, 2009 compared to the same periods in 2008 were:
n | The decrease in total assets of $2.26 billion since December 31, 2008, is mostly attributed to the 2009 RAL season. For the 2009 RAL season, the Company funded all RALs on balance sheet as it was not able to set-up a securitization facility due to the current economic conditions which caused the credit markets to tighten. The 2009 RAL season was mostly pre-funded using brokered CDs in the fourth quarter of 2008 which also increased cash at December 31, 2008. The profitability of the 2009 RAL season decreased compared to 2008 due to the additional interest expenses from the funding on balance sheet and higher loan loss rate in 2009. |
n | provision for loan losses of $192.5 million for the second quarter of 2009 which reflects a provision for loan losses for the Core Bank of $194.1 million for the quarter and $267.6 million for the six month period and provision for loan losses for RALs of $80.6 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2009, |
n | goodwill impairment charge of $128.7 million for the second quarter of 2009, |
n | tax provision of $25.6 million for the second quarter, $16.3 million year to date due to the set-up of a DTA valuation allowance and, |
n | a decrease in net interest income of $10.9 million for the comparable quarters due to a sharp decline in interest rates since March 18, 2008 when Federal Open Market Committee of the Federal Reserve System (FOMC) decreased interest rates from 2.25% to the current interest rate of 0.00% - 0.25% since December 18, 2008 resulting in an immediate decrease in interest income. |
The impact to the Company from these items will be discussed in more detail throughout the analysis sections of this report as they pertain to the Companys overall comparative performance for the periods ended June 30, 2009 compared to the periods ended June 30, 2008.
BUSINESS
PCB is a bank holding company. All references to the Company apply to PCB and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis. The Companys organizational structure and description of services are discussed in Item 1, Business and in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of the 2008 10-K and should be read in conjunction with this 10-Q. Terms and acronyms used throughout this document are defined in the glossary on pages 69 through 71. Throughout the MD&A of this 10-Q, there is discussion of the Companys financial information with and without the RAL and RT programs. When the discussion refers to the Core Bank, this means all of the financial activity of the consolidated financial statements excluding the RAL and RT programs.
Segments
In January 2009, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) presented his strategic vision for the Company to the Board of Directors and determined that the Commercial Banking and Wealth Management segments should be combined into one segment. The newly combined segment is called the Commercial & Wealth Management Group. The new Commercial & Wealth Management Group provides products and services to meet the needs of middle market companies and high net-worth individuals under one platform and one manager. The same services and products continue to be offered as described in the 2008 10-K for the Commercial and Wealth Management segments but, under one platform with a common business model. The new combined segment will no longer offer SBA loans as these products service small businesses and are offered through the Community Banking segment.
The Companys businesses as viewed by Management are organized by product line and result in three operating segments. The operating segments are: Community Banking, Commercial & Wealth Management Group (CWMG) and RAL and RT Programs. The administrative functions and the Holding Company operations of the Company are not considered part of operating activities of the Company and for financial reporting purposes the unallocated activity is reported in the All Other segment. A description of the segments, financial results and allocation methodology is discussed in the Companys Consolidated Financial Statements within the 2008 10-K, Note 24, Segments and the current financial results for each segment are presented in this 10-Q, Note 15, Segments in the Consolidated Financial Statements. The significant changes within the financial statements that relate to each segment are incorporated in the MD&A below.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
The following information provides an overview of significant events that occurred in the second quarter of 2009 and significant subsequent events.
Regulatory Matters
PCB and PCBNA each entered into a memorandum of understanding with its respective principal banking regulator during the second quarter of 2009. A memorandum of understanding is characterized by regulatory authorities as an informal action that is not published or publicly available and that is used when circumstances warrant a milder form of action than a formal supervisory action, such as a formal written agreement or order.
PCBNA entered into a memorandum of understanding with the OCC on April 16, 2009 (the OCC Memorandum). Under the OCC Memorandum, PCBNA agreed to develop and implement an updated three-year strategic plan with goals and plans to maintain adequate capital and ensure sustained earnings, and enhanced written programs designed to (i) manage the risk in its commercial real estate and residential real estate loan portfolios, (ii) reduce its classified assets, (iii) strengthen its collection efforts relating to delinquent residential real estate loans, (iv) ensure that it recognizes loss relating to delinquent residential real estate loans in a timely manner, and (v) ensure that the risk associated with its commercial loan portfolio is properly reflected and accounted for in its books and records. PCBNA agreed to provide notice and obtain the non-objection of the OCC prior to declaring dividends to PCB and prior to making certain changes to its directors or senior executive officers. In addition, PCBNA agreed to maintain a minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio of 8.5% as of June 30, 2009 and 9.0% as of September 30, 2009, and a minimum total risk based capital ratio of 11.0% as of
38
June 30, 2009 and 12.0% as of September 30, 2009. The Board of Directors of PCBNA has established a compliance committee comprised entirely of non-management directors and has retained a consulting firm to ensure PCBNAs compliance with the provisions of the OCC Memorandum.
At June 30, 2009, PCBNA had a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 5.7% and total risk based capital ratio of 11.2%. While both of these ratios exceed the minimum ratios required to be classified as well capitalized under regulatory guidelines, the Tier 1 leverage ratio was not sufficient to meet the higher level that PCBNA is obligated to maintain under its agreement with the OCC. As a result, PCBNA may be subject to further supervisory action, which could have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial condition and business.
PCB entered into a memorandum of understanding with the FRB on May 18, 2009 (the FRB Memorandum). Under the FRB Memorandum, PCB agreed to develop and implement written plans designed to strengthen board oversight of the management and operations of PCBNA, maintain sufficient capital at PCB and PCBNA and service PCBs obligations without incurring additional debt. PCB also agreed to provide notice and obtain the prior approval of the FRB prior to (i) receiving dividends from PCBNA, (ii) declaring or paying any dividends to its shareholders, (iii) incurring, renewing, increasing or guaranteeing any debt or purchasing, redeeming or otherwise acquiring any of its capital stock, (iv) making any payments on its trust preferred securities, and (v) making certain changes to its directors or senior executive officers.
PCB and PCBNA are committed to addressing and resolving the issues raised by their principal banking regulators, and the Board of Directors and management of each have initiated corrective actions to comply with the provisions of the respective memoranda.
Three-Year Strategic and Capital Plan
As discussed in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K, Management has developed a very robust and dynamic three-year strategic and capital plan in conjunction with its discussions with the OCC. Key components of this plan include the following:
n | A process to identify and evaluate a broad range of strategic alternatives to further strengthen the Companys capital base and enhance shareholder value. As part of this process, the Company has retained Sandler ONeill + Partners, L.P. to serve as financial advisor |
n | Building and maintaining a strong capital base |
n | Improving asset quality through a combination of efforts to reduce the current concentration of classified assets, prudently managing credit risk exposures in the existing loan portfolio, and tightening underwriting standards |
n | A comprehensive review of the Banks entire loan portfolio to identify loans that are good candidates for sale. The Bank has set a goal of selling approximately $150 million of real estate secured loans by the end of 2009. At the date of this Form 10-Q filing, no loans have been specifically identified for sale |
n | Substantial curtailment of the Banks commercial real estate lending business pending reduction in the Banks risk profile and significant improvement in market conditions |
n | Severely limited asset growth, as the Company focuses on improving asset quality and implementing necessary efficiency and risk management initiatives in the Core Bank |
n | Maintaining prudent levels of liquidity |
n | Improving earnings, especially of the Core Bank |
n | Strengthening Management and Board of Directors oversight |
n | Full compliance with applicable laws and regulations, including, to the maximum possible extent, regulatory capital requirements and the requirements of regulatory enforcement actions |
n | Initiatives to improve the operating efficiency ratio through automation of key systems, process integration, and elimination of redundancies |
n | An enterprise-wide expense reduction initiative designed to eliminate an additional $45 million to $55 million in annual costs by 2012. The initiative will focus on enhancing efficiencies in all business units and reducing expenses in areas such as information technology and corporate real estate. |

Impairment of Goodwill and Valuation Allowance for Deferred Tax Asset
On June 30, 2009, Management impaired goodwill of $128.7 million and, provided for a deferred tax asset valuation allowance of $114.0 million against a deferred tax asset of the same amount. Additional information regarding these items are in Note 8, Goodwill and Note 9, Deferred Tax Asset and Tax Provision of the consolidated financial statements of this Form 10-Q.
Deferral of Interest on Trust Preferred Securities
In the second quarter of 2009, the Company elected to defer regularly scheduled interest payments on its outstanding $69.4 million of junior subordinated notes relating to its trust preferred securities. As a result, it is likely that the Company will not be able to raise money through the offering of debt securities until it becomes current on those obligations. This may also adversely affect the Companys ability to obtain debt financing on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. As a result, the Company will likely have greater difficulty in obtaining financing and, thus, will have fewer sources to enhance its capital and liquidity position. In addition, if the Company defers interest payments on the junior subordinated notes for more than 20 consecutive quarters, the Company would be in default under the governing agreements for such notes in and the amount due under such agreements would be immediately due and payable.
Rating Agency Downgrades
On July 31, 2009, Moodys Investor Services downgraded the ratings of the Company from Baa1 to Caa1, the long term deposits of the Bank from Baa3 to B1, the financial strength of the Bank from D+ to E+, and the short-term debt of the Bank from Prime-3 to Not Prime, and the long-term debt of the Bank remains on review for possible downgrade. On July 31, 2009, DBRS downgraded the ratings of the Company from BB (high) to B, the senior debt of the Company from BB (high) to B, and the deposits and senior debt of the Bank from BBB to BB, and all ratings remain Under Review with Negative Implications. These lower ratings, and any further ratings downgrades, could make it more difficult for us to access the capital markets going forward, as the cost to borrow or raise debt or equity capital could become more expensive. Although the cost of PCBNAs primary funding sources (deposits and FHLB borrowings) is not influenced directly by PCB and PCBNAs credit ratings, no assurance can be given that PCB and PCBNAs credit rating will not have any impact on PCBNAS access to deposits and FHLB borrowings. Long-term debt ratings also factor into the calculation of deposit insurance premiums, and a reduction in the Banks ratings would increase premiums and expense.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Companys significant accounting policies are disclosed in this Form 10-Q in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Polices which are an update to the 2008 10-K, Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies on pages
40
87-101. Management believes that a number of the significant accounting policies are essential to the understanding of the Companys financial condition and results of operation because they involve estimates, judgment, or are otherwise less subject to precise measurement and because the quality of the estimates materially impact those results. A number of significant accounting policies are used in the preparation of the Companys consolidated financial statements. In addition, the Critical Accounting Polices section of the MD&A on pages 63 67 of the 2008 10-K should also be read in conjunction with this Form 10-Q. The Critical Accounting Policies include: allowance for loan losses, accounting for income taxes, goodwill and other intangible assets and revenue recognition for the RAL and RT Programs. Management believes these estimates and assumptions to be reasonably accurate, actual results may differ.

Interest income for the second quarter of 2009 decreased by $7.3 million, or 7.0% compared to the second quarter of 2008 primarily due to a decline in interest income from loans of $7.5 million, or 8.5%. Interest income on loans declined primarily due interest rate declines resulting from the FOMC lowering short-term interest rates for the comparable periods. Interest income is immediately impacted when short-term interest rates decrease as adjustable rate loans and securities are required to immediately adjust the interest rate received. A majority of the commercial and consumer loans have adjustable interest rates. Commercial and consumer loans decreased by $5.2 million and, $1.6 million, respectively when comparing the three month periods ended June 30, 2009 to June 30, 2008. Commercial loans are primarily from the CWMG segment while consumer loans are mostly from the Community Banking segment.

Interest income for the six month period ended June 30, 2009 was $337.5 million, an increase of $23.1 million, or 7.3% compared to the same six month period in 2008. This increase is mostly attributable to interest income from RALs. The RAL portfolio was the primary driver of the increase in the loan interest income due to the bank not securitizing and selling RALs in 2009 which it had in prior RAL seasons. When RALs are securitized, they are removed from the Companys balance sheet and sold to third parties. The fees associated with the RALs sold into the securitization are then included in the gain on sale calculation which is reported in non-interest income. For the six month period ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, fees which are reported in interest income for RALs was $151.6 million and $108.8 million, respectively. In 2008, the fees on sold RALs were $64.1 million.
Excluding the interest income from RALs, Core Bank interest income from loans was $156.5 million compared to $174.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Core Bank interest income from loans decreased by $18.0 million or 10.3%. The decline of Core Bank interest income is the result of the FOMC lowering short-term
42
interest rates for the comparable periods and the increase of charged-off and nonperforming loans is also impacting the decrease in interest income. Commercial and Core Bank consumer loans decreased by $13.0 million and, $4.4 million, respectively when comparing the six month periods ended June 30, 2009 to June 30, 2008.
Interest income from AFS securities decreased by $4.4 million or 16.1%. This decrease is attributed to the decrease in AFS securities balance due to called and matured securities as well as a decrease in interest rates paid on adjustable interest rate securities.

Interest expense increased by $3.6 million, or 9.3% when comparing the three month periods ended June 30, 2009 to June 30, 2008. This increase was mostly due to an increase in interest expense paid on deposits offset by a decrease in interest expense paid on long-term debt.

A majority of the increase in interest expense is attributable to the interest expense on time deposits which was $20.0 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2009 compared to $13.0 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2008. The increase in interest expense for time deposits is attributable to the increase in average balance of $1.14 billion when comparing the three month average balance of June 30, 2009 to June 30, 2008. The increase of average balance is mostly from customer time deposits of approximately $976 million. This increase was the result of the deposit campaigns which offered time deposits at higher interest rates during the fourth quarter of 2008. The increase in interest expense on time deposits was offset by a decrease in interest expense paid on NOW and money market deposits. In addition, interest expense paid for long-term debt and other borrowings decreased by $2.0 million. This decrease is mostly from a decrease in FHLB borrowings which decreased by $333.4 million during the second quarter of 2009 and reduced interest expense by $1.6 million for the comparable three month periods ended June 30, 2009 to June 30, 2008.

Interest expense for the six month period ending June 30, 2009 increased by $7.1 million, or 8.0% to $95.9 million for the comparable period mostly resulting from the additional expense for the funding of the 2009 RAL season with brokered certificates of deposit (brokered CDs) offset by a reduction in interest expense due to the FOMC decreasing the federal funds rate.

Interest expense paid on deposits was $56.6 million compared to $46.8 million for the six month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. This increase is mostly attributed to the interest expense paid for brokered CDs used for to fund RALs for the 2009 season. The interest expense for these brokered CDs are included in other time deposits which increased by $14.2 million for the comparable periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 and, contributed to a majority of the interest expense increase. At the same time, NOW accounts and money market accounts interest expense decreased by $5.9 million when comparing the six month periods ended June 30, 2009 to 2008. Long-term debt and other borrowings also decreased during these comparable periods due to the repayment of $351.0 million of FHLB advances which started to occur during the second quarter of 2009 and, was the driver of the reduced borrowing interest expense for the comparable periods.

Net Interest Margin
The net interest margin for the three months ended June 30, 2009 decreased to 2.68% compared to 3.82% for the same three month period of 2008. This net interest margin decrease is the result of declining interest rates received on average earning assets which decreased by 129 basis points, partially offset by declining interest rates paid on average earning liabilities which decreased by 22 basis points for the comparable three month periods. Interest income from loans was the driver of the decrease in net interest margin with interest income decreasing by $7.5 million, or 69 basis points for the three month comparable periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008. Of this decrease in interest income on loans, $10.0 million was attributable to a decrease in interest rates offset by a positive increase of $2.4 million of loan volume. Interest
47
rates paid on commercial and consumer loans caused the decrease in interest earning asset interest rates with commercial loan interest rates decreasing by 160 basis points and consumer loans interest rates decreasing by 157 basis points when comparing the interest rates received on these loan types for the three month periods ending June 30, 2009 and 2008.
Interest expense on deposits increased by $5.8 million when comparing the three month periods ended June 30, 2009 to June 30, 2008. The driver of this increase was the increased volume of deposits which attributed to $8.4 million of the increase to expense offset by a decrease in interest rates of $2.6 million. While the interest rates paid on deposits only decreased by 1 basis point for the comparable periods, interest rates paid on time deposits decreased by 29 basis points. Interest rates on borrowings decreased by 16 basis points for the comparable three month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008.

Net Interest Margin
The net interest margin for the six months ended June 30, 2009 decreased to 5.58% compared to 6.46% for the same period of 2008. This decrease is a result of increased balance or volume of interest earning assets at lower interest rates in combination with increased interest-bearing liabilities at lower interest rates. The increased average balance for the comparable six month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 of interest earning assets of $1.71 billion and $1.58 billion of interest-bearing liabilities is mostly due to the Company retaining all originated RALs on the balance sheet for the 2009 RAL season. The 2009 RAL season was also primarily funded with brokered CDs both of these changes impacted the net interest margin for 2009.
The Company retained all originated RALs on the balance sheet for the 2009 RAL season because the Company was unable to set-up a securitization facility with a third party due to the economic conditions and credit crisis that was occurring during the fourth quarter of 2008. The securitization facility used in prior years allowed the Company to sell a portion of the RALs originated during the peak of RAL season which removed some RALs from the Companys
50
balance sheet. The securitization facility also assisted with the funding of RALs as sold RALs brought in additional cash to fund new RALs. Additional information regarding the RAL securitization used in past years is further discussed in the 2008 Form 10-K.
Interest rates received on interest-earning assets decreased by 121 basis points when comparing the six month periods ended June 30, 2009 to June 30, 2008. The driver of this decrease was mostly from commercial loans with adjustable interest rates. Commercial loan interest rates decreased by 204 basis points for the comparable periods. Interest rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities decreased by 48 basis points. These decreases are mostly attributable to the significant decrease of FOMC interest rates which are currently at 0.00% - 0.25% compared to 2.00% at June 30, 2008 and 2.25% at March 31, 2008.
PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES
Quarterly, the Company determines the amount of allowance for loan losses adequate to provide for losses inherent in the Companys loan portfolios. The provision for loan losses is determined by the net change in the allowance for loan losses. For a detailed discussion of the Companys allowance for loan losses, refer to the Significant Accounting Policies discussion in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the 2008 10-K and in the MD&A allowance for loan loss discussion of this Form 10-Q on page 57.
A summary of the provision for loan losses for the comparable three month periods ended are as follows:

Provision for loan losses were $192.5 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2009 compared to $37.2 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2008, an increase of $155.3 million. The increased provision for loan losses is mostly attributed to the Core Banks increased net loan charge-offs of $78.8 million and an increase in nonperforming assets of $77.3 million due to the slowing economy which contributed to increased loss rates for the comparable periods. In addition, the increase to the allowance for loan losses was directionally consistent with the recent elevated credit losses experienced by the Company. Further, in recognition of these recent credit losses and the continued deterioration of the general economic environment, the Company shortened the timeframe utilized for estimating historical loss rates in its calculations of the SFAS 5 component of the allowance (i.e., reserve for non-impaired loans calculated on a loan pool basis). The shortened timeframe placed more weight on the recent history of increased losses, which resulted in a substantial increase in the allowance.
The RAL credit to provision of $1.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was due to increased collections of RALs during the second quarter of 2009. The increased RAL loss rate for the comparable periods is mostly due to the inability to collect on certain RALs that were charged-off in the first quarter of 2009 which is further discussed on the next page.

For the year-to-date periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, provision for loan losses were $348.2 million and $85.6 million, an increase of $262.6 million. This increase was caused by a significant increase in provision for loan losses for the Core Bank of $208.5 million and a significant increase in the RAL provision for loan losses of $54.2 million for the comparable periods.
The Core Banks loan portfolio had net loan charge-offs of $150.5 million during the first six months of 2009 and an increase in nonperforming assets of $106.9 million since December 31, 2008. These increases are explained above and in Note 7, Allowance for Loan Losses of the consolidated financial statements of this Form 10-Q.
In addition, the 2009 RAL program experienced higher than anticipated loan losses which required increased provision for RALs of $80.6 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2009, an increase of $54.2 million for the comparable period ended June 30, 2008. The increase in RAL provision for loan losses is attributed to the first few weeks of the RAL season due to an expanded number of tax refunds under review by the IRS for further documentation. RAL management detected the changes in the IRS payment patterns and adjusted the RAL underwriting to reflect the IRS change in payment. The held back tax returns resulted in more charged-off RALs as many of these RALs were outstanding for more than 60 days which required the Company to charge them off. The RAL provision was also impacted by the inability to set-up a securitization facility which had accounted for $14.9 million of provision for loan losses within the gain on sale calculation in the first quarter of 2008.
NON-INTEREST INCOME
Non-interest income primarily consists of fee income received from servicing deposit relationships, trust and investment advisory fees, RT fees earned from processing tax refunds, fees and commissions earned on certain transactions, unrealized gains and losses on the trading portfolio, impairment of AFS MBS and realized gains and losses on sold and called securities and gains and losses on the sale or disposal of assets.

Total non-interest income was $20.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to $22.2 million for the same period in 2008, a decrease of 5.7%. This decrease is mostly attributed to a $1.6 million decrease in service charges and fees and a decrease of $1.3 million for trust and investment advisory fees. The decrease in service charges and fees are from reduced overdraft charges and loan servicing fees. The loan servicing fees declined due to less loans being sold with loan servicing retained by the Bank and, the loans which are being sold with servicing retained have been sold with low servicing fees. The decrease in trust and investment advisory fees is from a decrease in market values of the assets under management which also reduce the fees earned from managing those assets.

This decrease is mostly attributed to the Company not utilizing a securitization facility to sell RAL loans for the 2009 RAL season which accounted for $44.6 million in non-interest income in the first quarter of 2008. Service charges and fees decreased by $2.9 million primarily from reduced charges on deposit accounts. The decrease in trust and investment advisory fees of $2.4 million is from a decrease in market values of the assets under management which also reduce the fees earned from managing those assets.

The Companys non-interest expenses increased by $151.7 million for the second quarter of 2009 compared to the second quarter of 2008. The majority of this increase is due to the charge for the impairment of the goodwill of $128.7 million and increased other non-interest expenses of $27.3 million for the comparable periods.
The impairment of goodwill was due to the increasingly uncertain economic environment, significant continued decline in the Companys market capitalization, the financial sectors market volatility and continued elevated credit losses in the loan portfolio, which resulted in losses of income for the reporting units. The Company has been assessing goodwill for impairment on a quarterly basis since the third quarter of 2008 but no additional impairment has occurred until the second quarter of 2009. These quarterly analyses were performed in accordance with SFAS 142 as further explained in Note 8, Goodwill of the consolidated financial statements within this Form 10-Q.
Other non-interest expenses increased by $27.3 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2009 compared to 2008. As disclosed in Note 12, Other Income and Expense of the consolidated financial statements of this Form 10-Q, this increase was primarily due to an increase in the reserve for off balance sheet commitments and increased regulatory assessments for FDIC insurance premiums.
The reserve for off balance sheet commitments increased by $13.3 million for the three month periods ended June 30, 2009 compared to June 30, 2008. The reserve for off balance sheet commitments is to reserve for inherent losses from binding loan commitments to the extent that they are expected to be funded. Included in this reserve are off-balance sheet obligations such as letters of credit, fair value swaps with commercial loan customers and commitments for lines of credit and all types of loans. The calculation of this reserve uses the same qualitative factors as employed in the on-balance sheet allowance for loan loss methodology. The change in methodology and additional explanations regarding loan losses are discussed further in the MD&A section of ALL in this Form 10-Q.
The increase in regulatory assessments of $8.2 million for the three month periods ended June 30, 2009 compared to June 30, 2008 are due to increased FDIC insurance premiums and, a one time special assessment of $3.5 million which was required to be accrued for by June 30, 2009. Also included in other expenses are consulting and professional expenses which have increased by $3.8 million during the second quarter of 2009 primarily from consulting expenses associated with the Board of Directors and executive management strategic initiatives.
Also contributing to the increased other expenses are FHLB prepayment penalties of $3.8 million which where incurred due to prepayment of $333.3 million FHLB advances. FHLB advances were prepaid due to Managements efforts to meet the elevated capital ratios required by the OCC as disclosed in Note 16, Regulatory Matters of the consolidated financial statements of this Form 10-Q.

The Companys non-interest expenses for the six month period ended June 30, 2009 compared to 2008 increased by $153.1 million, or 82.0%. The majority of this increase is due to the charge for the impairment of the goodwill of $128.7 million and, increased other expenses of $25.8 million as discussed above and in Note 8, Goodwill on page 22 and in Note 12, Other income and expenses of the consolidated financial statements starting on page 25.
PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES
For the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company recorded a $16.3 million tax expense on a pretax loss of $349.2 million. The Companys effective tax rate was (4.7%), compared to 2008s full year rate of 44.9%. Excluding the impact of a goodwill impairment charge of $128.7 million, the effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2009 would have been (7.4%).
The $16.3 million tax expense is primarily attributable to the creation of 1) a deferred tax asset valuation allowance of $114 million against a deferred tax asset of the same amount and 2) a tax receivable of $55.2 million for the anticipated refunds resulting from the carryback of the 2009 net operating loss to tax years 2008 and 2007.
The Company is permitted to recognize deferred tax assets only to the extent that they are expected to be used to reduce amounts that have been paid or will be paid to tax authorities. Management has considered all available evidence in determining whether a DTA valuation allowance is needed. Due to deteriorating market conditions in the second quarter of 2009, the Company has determined that there is not sufficient additional positive evidence to support the realization of its deferred tax asset beyond the amount ($55.2 million) that can be realized from the carryback of the 2009 net operating loss to tax years 2008 and 2007.
Management continues to assess the impact of Company performance and the economic climate on the realizability of its DTA on a quarterly basis.
BALANCE SHEET ANALYSIS
Total assets decreased $2.26 billion and total liabilities decreased by $1.89 billion since December 31, 2008. These significant decreases were due to the completion of the 2009 RAL season which was funded on balance sheet for 2009. The major components causing these decreases are described in the following sections.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
The Companys cash and cash equivalents decreased by $1.54 billion or 79.5% since December 31, 2008 to $397.5 million at June 30, 2009. This decrease was due to the Company retaining more cash on hand to fund the 2009 RAL season. Once the peak of the RAL season had been completed, excess cash was used to pay-off debt and, repay maturing brokered CDs purchased to fund RAL.
55
SECURITIES
Trading Portfolio
At June 30, 2009, the Company held $78.1 million of trading securities, a decrease of $135.8 million since December 31, 2008. This decrease was primarily from the sale of $110.6 million of MBS during the second quarter of 2009. The gain on sale of MBS during the second quarter of 2009 and 2008 was $4.5 million and $2.3 million, respectively.
Available for Sale Securities
At June 30, 2009, the Company held $956.3 million of AFS Securities, a decrease of $222.4 million since December 31, 2008. A majority of this decrease was due to maturities, calls and principal paydowns of securities of $1.00 billion offset by purchases of $779.1 million. The remainder of the decrease was mostly due to a decrease in market values which is attributed to a reduction of the AFS carrying value due to maturities, calls and principal pay downs as well as changes in interest rates.
LOAN PORTFOLIO
Loans Held for Sale
Loans held for sale at June 30, 2009 were $20.7 million, an increase of $9.5 million, or 85.4%. This increase is due to an increase in mortgage loans originated for sale. Mortgage loans originated for sale has increased due to the decline in mortgage loan interest rates which has increased the demand for refinancing of mortgage loans. In addition, in order to reduce the size of the balance sheet, the majority of conforming mortgage loans were originated for sale.
Loans Held for Investment

Total HFI loans decreased by $117.1 million or 2.0% since December 31, 2008 compared to June 30, 2009. A majority of this decrease is due to loan charge-offs of $150.5 million of Core bank loans since December 31, 2008 offset by new loan originations. The charge-offs are mostly attributed to construction and commercial loans. The construction loan portfolio had $68.2 million and the commercial loan portfolio had $55.1 million of net charged-offs since December 31, 2008.

Although the Bank has experienced an increased amount of charge-offs, the Bank has continued to originate and renew loans. Since December 31, 2008, the Bank has originated and renewed $256.6 million of HFI loans. A majority of these loans were commercial real estate loans of $83.6 million and $73.7 million of residential real estate loans. There were also $109.1 million of originated, renewed and loan commitments of commercial loans. A majority of the commercial real estate and commercial loans are from the CWMG segment while a majority of the residential real estate loans are from the Community Banking segment.
ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES (ALL)
Total ALL was $258.0 million at June 30, 2009, an increase of $117.1 million since December 31, 2008. The increase to ALL is primarily due to charged-off loans of $231.1 million since December 31, 2008 and an increase in non-performing assets to $348.3 million which are explained in the section below, nonaccrual loans. For additional explanation for the increase in the ALL, refer to Note 7, Allowance for Loan Losses in the consolidated financial statements of this Form 10-Q. The increase in ALL improves the ratio of ALL to total loans to 4.57% from 2.44% at December 31, 2008.
Of the $231.1 million of net charged-offs, $80.6 million were RALs and $150.5 million were from the Core Bank loan portfolio. As discussed in the provision for loan losses section of the MD&A on page 51 and in the Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 6, RAL and RT Programs the increased RAL charge-offs in 2009 occurred from the IRS holding-up more tax returns than in previous years for review pending additional taxpayer information to be provided before processing.
Included In the table above is a summary of loan charge-offs by quarter and by loan type. Included in the net charge-offs are charge-offs for nonperforming loans which are secured by real estate which in accordance with SFAS 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, have been written down to current market value.

Nonaccrual Loans
When a borrower discontinues making payments as contractually required by the note, the Company must determine whether it is appropriate to continue to accrue interest. Generally, the Company places loans in a nonaccrual status and ceases recognizing interest income when the loan has become delinquent by more than 90 days and/or when Management determines that the repayment of principal and collection of interest is unlikely. The Company may decide that it is appropriate to continue to accrue interest on certain loans more than 90 days delinquent if they are well secured by collateral and collection is in process.
When a loan is placed in a nonaccrual status, any accrued but uncollected interest for the loan is reversed out of interest income in the period in which the status is changed. Subsequent payments received from the customer are applied to principal and no further interest income is recognized until the principal has been paid in full or until circumstances have changed such that payments are again consistently received as contractually required. In the case of commercial customers, the pattern of payment must also be accompanied by a positive change in the financial condition of the borrower.
Management anticipates that the loan portfolio will continue to be impacted by the downturn in the economy.
Foreclosed Collateral
Foreclosed collateral consists of other real estate owned (OREO) obtained through foreclosure. The Company holds $24.3 million of OREO at June 30, 2009, at the current market value less the estimated costs to sell. Net OREOs increased by $17.2 million at June 30, 2009 compared to $7.1 million at December 31, 2008. This increase is mostly from the addition of three large commercial real estate properties foreclosed on during 2009 with a combined fair market value of $9.3 million and a construction loan with a fair market value of $6.2 million.
GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Goodwill and other intangible assets were $8.6 million, a decrease of $129.8 million. This decrease is mostly attributable to the impairment of goodwill of $128.7 million at June 30, 2009. The remainder of this decrease is from monthly amortization of the Banks intangible assets. A detailed explanation of the goodwill impairment is in Note 8, Goodwill of the consolidated financial statements within this Form 10-Q on page 22.

The Companys deposits decreased by $1.34 billion, or 20.4% since December 31, 2008, when comparing the balance at June 30, 2009. This decrease is mostly attributed to the matured brokered CDs and Certificate of Deposit Account Registry (CDAR) one-way buy transactions of $1.11 billion which were held at December 31, 2008 to pre-fund the 2009 RAL season. The brokered CDs and CDAR one-way buy transactions are included in the other time deposits line in the table above. Excluding the matured brokered CDs and CDAR one-way buy transactions of $1.11 billion, deposits decreased by $233.0 million. This decrease is mostly attributed to a decrease in money market accounts of $207.2 million and $155.2 million of matured or withdrawn customer CDs which was offset by an increase in non-interest bearing deposits of $119.4 million. The increase in non-interest bearing deposit accounts will benefit the Banks net interest margin in future periods.
LONG-TERM DEBT AND OTHER BORROWINGS
Long-term debt and other borrowings were $1.20 billion at June 30, 2009, a decrease of $545.1 million, or 31.3% since December 31, 2008. This decrease is due to the repayment of long-term FHLB advances of $351.0 million and the maturity of short-term FHLB advances of $230.0 million.
RETAINED EARNINGS
Retained earnings were $98.7 million at June 30, 2009 compared to $471.5 million at December 31, 2008, a decrease of $372.8 million. This decrease is mostly attributable to the loss of income of $370.5 million from the first and second quarters of 2009. The major items causing the loss of income are the significant loan loss provisions during 2009 of $348.2 million and the impairment of goodwill of $128.7 million. These items and several others are discussed throughout the MD&A and consolidated financial statements of this Form 10-Q.
CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of June 30, 2009, under current regulatory definitions, the Company and PCBNA met the regulatory standards of well-capitalized, as defined under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act (FDICIA).
60
Capital Adequacy Standards
The Company and PCBNA are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the Federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements as specified by the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action could cause the regulators to initiate certain mandatory or discretionary actions that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Companys business and financial statements. For additional information regarding such mandatory or discretionary actions, refer to the Regulation and Supervision section of the 2008 10-K.
The Companys and PCBNAs risk based capital ratios as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 were as follows:

The minimum capital ratios required to meet the regulatory standards of well capitalized and adequately capitalized are included in the table above. While the Company and PCBNA each met the minimum ratios required to be classified as well-capitalized as of June 30, 2009, unless the Company is successful in executing on its three-year capital and strategic plan there is a substantial risk that the Company and PCBNA will fail to meet such requirements and the minimum capital ratios for Tier 1 leverage and Total Risk Based Capital in future periods. In addition to the minimum capital ratios noted above, PCBNA has agreed to maintain a minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio of 8.5% as of June 30, 2009 and 9.0% as of September 30, 2009, and a minimum total risk based capital ratio of 11.0% as of June 30, 2009 and 12.0% as of September 30, 2009. As noted in the table above, PCBNA had a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 5.7% as of June 30, 2009, which was not sufficient to meet the higher level that PCBNA agreed to maintain under its agreement with the OCC. As a result, PCBNA may be subject to further supervisory action, which could have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial condition and business.
Availability of Capital
As a result of recent market disruptions, the availability of capital (principally to financial services companies) has become significantly restricted. While some companies have been successful in raising additional capital, the cost of the capital has been substantially higher than the prevailing market rates prior to the market volatility. Management cannot predict when or if the markets will return to more favorable conditions.
During the second quarter of 2009, the Board of Directors approved and submitted to the OCC a three-year strategic and capital plan designed to strengthen PCBNAs operations and capital position going forward. Please refer to page 39 for discussion of this plan.
The Companys Board of Directors elected to suspend the payment of cash dividends on its common stock during the
61
second quarter of 2009 to preserve capital. The Company expects that its suspension of cash dividends on its common stock will preserve approximately $5.2 million per quarter compared with the continuing level of dividend payments from the first quarter of 2009.
The Company has also initiated a process to identify and evaluate a broad range of strategic alternatives to further strengthen its capital base and enhance shareholder value. As part of this process, the Company has retained Sandler ONeill + Partners, L.P. to serve as financial advisor. There can be no assurance that the exploration of strategic alternatives will result in any transaction.
There are four primary considerations Management must keep in mind in managing capital levels and ratios. The first is the Company must be able to meet the credit needs of its customers when they need to borrow. The second consideration is that the Company must be prepared to sell some of the loans it originates in order to manage capital targets. The third consideration is to divest of underperforming divisions or business lines. The fourth consideration is that as loan demand picks up in an improving economy, raising additional capital may be necessary.
Management maintains a capital plan to address any capital shortfalls. This capital plan is based on a rolling twelve month forecast, stressed accordingly for market conditions and the Companys balance sheet conditions. Based on the current rolling twelve month capital plan, Management believes the Company has sufficient resources to maintain adequate capital to support the Companys operations for the next twelve months. If any capital shortfalls become apparent, Management will immediately activate contingency plans to address any such shortfalls, which may include additional capital raising, reduction of loans, asset sales or other means as necessary.
Impact of RAL/RT Programs on Capital Adequacy
Formal measurement of the capital ratios for the Company and PCBNA are done at each quarter-end. However, the Company does more frequent estimates of its capital classification during late January and early February of each year because of the large volume of RALs originated. RALs are 100% risk weighted and impact the Companys capital ratios during late January and early February of each year. Due to the impact of RALs on the Companys capital ratios, Management monitors the Companys capital ratios daily during these months. Management estimates that, if a formal computation of capital ratios were done on certain days during those weeks PCB and PCBNA may be classified as adequately capitalized, rather than well-capitalized. The Company has discussed this with its regulators and creditors.
Management was not able to set-up a securitization facility for the 2009 RAL season due to the current economic conditions and current credit crisis the U.S. economy is currently experiencing. The securitization assisted with the removal of RALs from the Banks balance sheet to assist with maintaining their capital ratios at an adequately capitalized level. In preparation for the 2009 RAL season and to replace the unavailability of a securitization facility, the Bank raised at total of $1.80 billion through wholesale funding sources, with $1.28 billion of brokered CDs and entered into a syndicated funding line of $524 million which was drawn upon as needed throughout the RAL season.
LIQUIDITY
Liquidity is the ability to effectively raise funds on a timely basis to meet cash needs of the Banks customers and the Company, whether it is to handle fluctuations in deposits, to provide for customers credit needs, or to take advantage of investment opportunities as they are presented in the market place.
The Companys objective, managed through the Companys Asset and Liability Committee (ALCO), is to ensure adequate liquidity at all times by maintaining adequate liquid assets, the ability to raise deposits and liabilities, and having access to additional funds via the capital markets.
The Company manages the adequacy of its liquidity by monitoring and managing its short-term liquidity, intermediate liquidity, and long-term liquidity. ALCO monitors and sets policy and related targets to ensure the Company maintains adequate liquidity. The monitoring of liquidity is done over the various time horizons, to avoid over dependence on volatile sources of funding and to provide a diversified set of funding sources. These targets are increased during certain periods to accommodate any liquidity risks of special programs like RALs.
Short-term liquidity is the ability to raise funds on an overnight basis. Sources of short-term liquidity include, but are not limited to, Federal funds purchased, FHLB short-term advances and securities sold under agreements to repurchase (repurchase agreements).
Intermediate liquidity is the ability to raise funds during the next few months to meet cash obligations over those next few months. Sources of intermediate liquidity include maturities or sales of securities, term repurchase agreements, and term advances from the FHLB.
Long-term liquidity is the ability to raise funds over the entire planning horizon to meet cash needs anticipated due to strategic balance sheet changes. Long-term liquidity sources include: initiating special programs to increase core deposits in expanded market areas; reducing the size of securities portfolios; taking long-term advances with the FHLB; securitizing or selling loans; and accessing capital markets for the issuance of debt or equity.
Overnight repurchase agreements are used to balance short-term mismatches between cash inflows from deposits, loan repayments, and maturing securities and cash outflows to fund loans, purchase securities and deposit withdrawals on a day-to-day basis. During the first quarter of each year, they may also be used to provide a portion of the short-term funding needed for the RAL Program. Beginning in late January, the IRS pays weekly refunds to the Company. This allows the Company to repay up to all of its overnight borrowing and still have an excess of cash that must be invested.
During 2008 and continuing into 2009, liquidity was a major focus of the Bank as traditional sources of liquidity changed. In particular, the securitization market evaporated in the latter half of the year which was a major funding source for the RAL Program. As a risk management measure to compensate for this and other potential funding and liquidity changes in the future, Management developed and expanded its use of a twelve month rolling cash position analysis so that changes in liquidity sources and related needs could be identified and addressed well in advance of any issues or shortfalls. At this time, no shortfalls have been identified for the foreseeable future, though results could change depending on industry conditions related to the credit markets and the Companys own financial condition.
62
In order to preserve liquidity in the current difficult economic environment, the Company has elected to defer regularly scheduled interest payments on its outstanding $69.4 million of junior subordinated notes relating to its trust preferred securities and to suspend cash dividend payments on its outstanding common stock and preferred stock. The Company expects that its deferral of interest on the junior subordinated notes and its suspension of cash dividends on its common stock and preferred stock will preserve approximately $8 million per quarter compared with the continuing level of interest and dividend payments in the first quarter of 2009.
The terms of the junior subordinated notes and the trust documents allow the Company to defer payments of interest for up to 20 consecutive quarterly periods without default or penalty. During the deferral period, the respective trusts will likewise suspend the declaration and payment of dividends on the trust preferred securities. The deferral election began with respect to regularly scheduled quarterly interest payments that would otherwise have been made in June and July of 2009. The Company has the ability under the junior subordinated notes to continue to defer interest payments through ongoing, appropriate notices to each of the trustees, and will make a decision each quarter as to whether to continue the deferral of interest. During the deferral period, interest will continue to accrue on the junior subordinated notes at the stated coupon rate, including on the deferred interest, and the Company will continue to record the interest expense associated with the junior subordinated debentures. During the deferral period, the Company may not, among other things and with limited exceptions, pay cash dividends on or repurchase its common stock or preferred stock nor make any payment on outstanding debt obligations that rank equally with or are junior to the junior subordinated notes. The Company may end the deferral by paying all accrued and unpaid interest. The Company anticipates that it will continue to defer interest on the junior subordinated notes and will not pay dividends on its common stock or preferred stock for the foreseeable future.
As a result of the Companys deferral of interest on the junior subordinated notes, it is likely that we will not be able to raise money through the offering of debt securities until we become current on those obligations. This may also adversely affect the Companys ability to obtain debt financing on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. As a result, we will likely have greater difficulty in obtaining financing and, thus, will have fewer sources to enhance the Companys capital and liquidity position.
The Companys liquidity is also impacted by the credit ratings assigned to the Company and the Bank by third party rating agencies. On July 31, 2009, Moodys Investor Services downgraded the ratings of the Company from Baa1 to Caa1, the long term deposits of the Bank from Baa3 to B1, the financial strength of the Bank from D+ to E+, and the short-term debt of the Bank from Prime-3 to Not Prime, and the long-term debt of the Bank remains on review for possible downgrade. On July 31, 2009, DBRS downgraded the ratings of the Company from BB (high) to B, the senior debt of the Company from BB (high) to B, and the deposits and senior debt of the Bank from BBB to BB, and all ratings remain Under Review with Negative Implications. These lower ratings, and any further ratings downgrades, could make it more difficult for us to access the capital markets going forward, as the cost to borrow or raise debt or equity capital could become more expensive. Although the cost of the Banks primary funding sources (deposits and FHLB borrowings) is not influenced directly by PCB and the Banks credit ratings, no assurance can be given that our credit rating will not have any impact on the Banks access to deposits and FHLB borrowings. Long-term debt ratings also factor into the calculation of deposit insurance premiums, and a reduction in the Banks ratings would increase premiums and expense.
The impact of these downgrades puts further pressure on the Companys stock price, access to capital, and impedes our access to various liquidity sources.
63
At June 30, 2009, the Bank had available borrowing capacity of $379.6 million at the FHLB and $826.4 million of borrowing capacity with the FRB. This borrowing capacity is utilized to fund loans when loan growth outpaces deposit growth.
At June 30, 2009, the Bank had a total of $449.0 million of brokered CDs. If the Banks regulatory capital position were to deteriorate such that it was classified as adequately capitalized, it might not be able to use brokered CDs as a source of funds. A well-capitalized institution may accept brokered deposits without restriction. An adequately capitalized institution must obtain a waiver from the FDIC in order to accept, renew or roll over brokered deposits. In addition, certain interest-rate limits apply to the financial institutions brokered and solicited deposits. Although an institution could seek permission from the FDIC to accept brokered deposits if it were no longer considered to be well-capitalized, the FDIC may deny permission, or may permit the institution to accept fewer brokered deposits than the level considered desirable. If the Banks level of deposits were to be reduced, either by the lack of a full brokered deposit waiver or by the interest rate limits on brokered or solicited deposits, we anticipate that the Bank would reduce its assets and, most likely, curtail its lending activities.
Since June 30, 2009, Management has taken additional steps to strengthen the Banks liquidity position by purchasing additional brokered CDs and making use of the CDARs one-way buy program and, advancing additional cash through the lines of credit at the FHLB and FRB discount window. These steps have provided additional cash to meet the requirements of the Banks customers, to continue to fund loans and, have additional cash on hand for future use.
RALs
For the Company, the most significant challenge relating to liquidity management is providing sufficient liquidity to fund the large amount of RALs, primarily in late January and early February of each year.
In addition to the discussion above, the following considerations are kept in mind in providing the needed liquidity:
n | Using a large number of institutions so as to not become overly reliant on a limited number of institutions or a particular type of funding vehicle; |
n | Using a mixture of committed and uncommitted lines so as to assure a minimum amount of funding in the event of tight liquidity in the markets; and |
n | Arranging for at least 30% more funding than anticipated on the peak-funding days for RALs. |
The securitization of RALs assists in the management of the Companys capital position during the RAL season by selling some RALs to third parties. For the 2009 RAL season, the Company was not able to secure a securitization facility with the current economic conditions causing difficulty within the credit markets. In place of the securitization facility, the Company purchased $1.28 billion of brokered CDs by the end of December 31, 2008 and entered into a syndicated funding through a syndicated funding line of $524 million which is collateralized with RALs and may be drawn upon as needed throughout the RAL season. In prior years, the securitization facility represented yet another source of liquidity as the proceeds from the sales are lent out to new RAL customers.
RALs present the Company with some special funding and liquidity needs. Additional funds are needed for RAL lending only for the very short period of time that RALs are outstanding. The season starts in January and continues into April, but even within that time frame, RAL originations are highly concentrated in the last week of January and first two weeks of February. For the 2009 RAL season, Management utilized the excess cash from the purchase of brokered CDs to fund a majority of the RALs. The syndicated funding line was also utilized during the peak of the RAL season. In addition, Management arranged for a significant amount of very short-term borrowing capacity from other financial institutions. Extensive funding planning is accomplished prior to the RAL season to make effective and efficient use of various funding sources.
Regulatory Restrictions
PCB is the parent company and sole owner of the Bank, and dividends from the Bank constitute the principal source of income to PCB. However, there are various statutory and regulatory limitations and restrictions on the amount of dividends, if any, that may be paid by the Bank to PCB. For a general discussion on such limitations and restrictions, refer to Regulation and Supervision, Dividends and Other Transfer of Funds on page 69 of the 2008 10-K. As a result of the OCC Memorandum, the Bank is required to provide notice and obtain the non-objection of the OCC prior to declaring dividends to PCB. In addition, as a result of the FRB Memorandum, PCB is required to provide notice and obtain the prior
64
approval of the FRB prior to receiving dividends from the Bank. Any objection by the OCC or FRB to the payment of a proposed dividend from the Bank to PCB could adversely affect PCBs liquidity. In addition, as a result of the FRB Memorandum, PCB is required to provide notice and obtain the prior approval of the FRB prior to incurring, renewing, increasing or guaranteeing any debt, and prior to making any payments on its outstanding $69.4 million of junior subordinated notes relating to its trust preferred securities. If PCB is unable to make payments on any of junior subordinated notes for more than 20 consecutive quarters, PCB would be in default under the governing agreements for such notes and the amounts due under such agreements would be immediately due and payable.
Liquidity Ratio
As of June 30, 2009, the Companys liquidity ratio, which is the ratio of liquid assets of cash and cash equivalents, investment securities from the trading and AFS portfolios, federal funds sold and loans held for sale divided by short-term liabilities of demand deposits, repurchase agreements and federal funds purchased was 45.2%, compared to 101.2% at December 31, 2008. The Companys liquidity ratio decreased at June 30, 2009 compared to December 31, 2008 mostly as a result of a decrease of cash and cash equivalents which decreased by $1.54 billion since December 31, 2008. Total available liquidity as of June 30, 2009 was $3.22 billion.
ITEM 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK |
Global capital markets and economic conditions continue to be adversely affected and the resulting disruption has been particularly acute in the financial sector. Although the Company remains well capitalized and has not suffered any significant liquidity issues as a result of these recent events, the cost and availability of funds may be adversely affected by illiquid credit markets and the demand for the Companys products and services may decline as the Companys borrowers and customers realize the impact of an economic slowdown and recession. In addition, the severity and duration of these adverse conditions is unknown and may exacerbate the Companys exposure to credit risk and adversely affect the ability of borrowers to perform under the terms of their lending arrangements with us. Accordingly, continued turbulence in the U.S. and international markets and economy may adversely affect the Companys liquidity, financial condition, results of operations and profitability.
Risk definition and assessment allows the Company to select the appropriate level of risk for the anticipated level of reward and then decide on the steps necessary to manage this risk. The key risk factors affecting the Companys business are addressed in Item 1A, Risk Factors of this form 10-Q and Item 1A, Risk Factors in the Companys 2008 10-K.
Changes in interest rates can potentially have a significant impact on the Companys earnings. The Company has addressed the risks associated with interest rate risk in the section below.
INTEREST RATE RISK
With such a large proportion of the Companys income derived from net interest income, it is important to understand how the Company is subject to interest rate risk.
n | In general, for a given change in interest rates, the amount of the change in value up or down is larger for instruments with longer remaining maturities. The shape of the yield curve may affect new loan yields and funding costs differently. |
n | The remaining maturity of various assets or liabilities may shorten or lengthen as interest rates change. For example, if long-term mortgage interest rates decline sharply, higher fixed-rate mortgages may prepay, or pay down, faster than anticipated, thus reducing future cash flows and interest income. |
n | Repricing frequencies and maturity profiles for assets and liabilities may occur at different times. For example, in a falling rate environment, if assets reprice faster than liabilities, there will be an initial decline in earnings. Moreover, if assets and liabilities reprice at the same time, they may not be by the same increment. For instance, if the Federal funds rate increased 50 basis points (bps), demand deposits may rise by 10 bps, whereas prime based loans will instantly rise 50 bps. |
Monthly evaluations, monitoring and management of interest rate risk (including market risk, mismatch risk and basis risk) compare the Companys most likely rate scenario, base case, with various earnings simulations using many interest rate
65
scenarios. These scenarios differ in the direction of interest rate changes, the degree of change over time, the speed of change and the projected shape of the yield curve. These results are prepared by the Companys Treasury Department and presented to the ALCO each month for further consideration.
Financial instruments do not respond in a parallel fashion to rising or falling interest rates. This causes asymmetry in the magnitude of changes in net interest income and net economic value resulting from the hypothetical increases and decreases in interest rates. It is therefore mandatory to monitor interest rate risk and adjust the Companys funding strategies to mitigate adverse effects of interest rate shifts on the Companys balance sheet. While derivative instruments are effective hedging tools, the Company has been successful at maintaining its interest rate risk profile within policy limits strictly from pro-active deposit pricing and funding strategies. In the future, however, other strategies may be implemented to manage interest rate risk. These strategies may include, but may not be limited to, utilizing interest rate derivatives, buying or selling loans or securities, utilizing structured repurchase agreements and entering into other interest rate risk management instruments and techniques. The Company does not have a significant amount of derivative instruments.
The sections below summarize the interest rate risk analysis for the periods covered within the Form 10-Q.

EVE Summary
Assuming the entire yield curve was to instantaneously increase 200 basis points, the Companys projected EVE at June 30, 2009 would increase by approximately 59.6% from the base. At June 30, 2008 in the up 200 basis point scenario, the Companys EVE was projected to decrease by approximately 8.6% from the base projection. The rates down 200 basis point scenario assumes the yield curve instantaneously decreases 200 basis points where appropriate. When the yield curve is less than 2 percent, the yield curve is assigned a floor of zero. Using this methodology and assuming the entire yield curve shifts down 200 basis points, the projected EVE at June 30, 2009 is forecasted to increase by approximately 65.4% from the base. At June 30, 2008, in the down 200 basis point scenario, the Companys EVE was projected to decrease by approximately 3.7% from the base projection.

NII Summary
Assuming the entire yield curve was to instantaneously increase 200 basis points, the projected net interest income for the next twelve periods beginning July 1, 2009 would increase by approximately 11.9% from the base projection. At June 30, 2008 in the up 200 basis point scenario, the Companys projected net interest income for the twelve month period beginning July 1, 2008 would have increased by approximately 1.9% from the base projection. The rates down 200 basis points scenario assumes the yield curve instantaneously decreases 200 basis points where appropriate. When the yield curve is less than 2 percent, the yield curve is assigned a floor of zero. Using this methodology and assuming the entire yield curve shifts down 200 basis points, the Companys projected net interest income for the twelve month period beginning July 1, 2009 would decrease by approximately 3.7%. At June 30, 2008, in the down 200 basis point scenario, the Companys projected net interest income for the twelve month period beginning July 1, 2008 was projected to decrease by approximately 11.0% from the base projection.
The following have contributed to the improved figures:
n | Elimination of Goodwill; |
n | Increase of Loan Loss provision; |
n | Assumptions for calculation of base market value of non-accrual loans to reflect the portion of principal that is expected to be recovered; |
n | Credit risk premium embedded in effective discount rates. |
Revised assumptions in the second quarter of 2009 significantly impacted the base market value of net assets. As you see in the table below, the increase in EVE results is mostly due to the reduction of the denominator (equity) in the EVE calculation as opposed to net asset value change from base:

Among the assumptions that have been included in the model are those that address optionality. Management has updated and implemented a more robust process surrounding the following examples of optionality:
n | The option customers have to prepay their loans or the decay rate of non maturing deposits; |
n | The option issuers of some of the securities held by the Company to prepay or call their debt; |
n | The option of the Company to prepay or call certain types of its debt; |
n | The option of the Company to reprice its administered deposits; and |
n | Improved incorporation of loan features, including imbedded caps and floors, reset features and other aspects of loan terms and conditions. |
Simulation estimates depend on, and will change with the size and mix of the actual and projected balance sheet at the time of each simulation. Management is unaware of any material limitations such that results would not reflect the net interest risk exposures of the Company. Various shortcomings are inherent in both the EVE and NII sensitivity analyses. Certain assumptions may not reflect the manner in which actual yields and costs respond to market changes. Similarly, prepayment estimates and similar assumptions are subjective in nature, involve uncertainties and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in interest rates may also affect the Companys operating environment and operating strategies as well as those of the Companys competitors. In addition, certain adjustable rate assets have limitations on the magnitude of rate changes over specified periods of time. Accordingly, although the Companys NII sensitivity analyses may provide an indication of the Companys IRR exposure, such analyses are not intended to and do not provide a precise forecast of the effect of changes in market interest rates on the Companys net interest income and the Companys actual results will differ. There are no material positions, instruments or transactions that are not included in the modeling or included instruments that have special features that are not included.
ITEM 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures
An evaluation was conducted under the supervision and with the participation of the Companys Management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial and Operating Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2009. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial and Operating Officer have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the Exchange Act) were effective as of such date to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to Management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial and Operating Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Changes in internal control over financial reporting
There was no change in the Companys internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2009 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 1. | LEGAL PROCEEDINGS |
Information regarding legal proceedings is incorporated by reference from Note 13, Commitments and Contingencies to the Consolidated Financial Statements of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.
ITEM 1A. | RISK FACTORS |
The 2008 Form 10-K includes detailed disclosure about the risks faced by the Companys business. Such risks have not materially changed since December 31, 2008 except as described below:
Regulatory Risk
During the second quarter of 2009, PCB entered into the FRB Memorandum and PCBNA entered into the OCC Memorandum. See Item 1-Business-Recent Developments for a detailed discussion of the terms of the FRB Memorandum and OCC Memorandum. If PCBNA fails to comply with the OCC Memorandum or if PCB fails to comply with the FRB Memorandum, PCB and PCBNA may be subject to further supervisory enforcement action, which could have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial condition and business. In addition, PCBNA agreed during the second quarter of 2009 to maintain a minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio of 8.5% as of June 30, 2009 and 9.0% as of September 30, 2009, and a minimum total risk based capital ratio of 11.0% as of June 30, 2009 and 12.0% as of September 30, 2009. At June 30, 2009, PCBNA had a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 5.7% and total risk based capital ratio of 11.2%. While both of these ratios exceed the minimum ratios required to be classified as well capitalized under regulatory guidelines, the Tier 1 leverage ratio was not sufficient to meet the higher level that PCBNA is obligated to maintain under its agreement with the OCC. As a result, PCBNA may be subject to further supervisory action, which could have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial condition and business.
Dividends from the Bank
The principal source of funds from which PCB services its debt and pays its obligations and dividends is the receipt of dividends from PCBNA. The availability of dividends from PCBNA is limited by various statutes and regulations. It is also possible, depending upon the financial condition of PCBNA and other supervisory factors, that the OCC or FRB could restrict or prohibit PCBNA from paying dividends to PCB. In this regard, and as a result of the OCC Memorandum and FRB Memorandum, both OCC and FRB approval will now be required before PCBNA can pay dividends to PCB. In the event that PCBNA is unable to pay dividends to PCB, PCB in turn may not be able to service its debt, pay its obligations or pay dividends on its outstanding equity securities, which would adversely affect PCBs business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. The Company has requested approval by the FRB to allow PCBNA to reimburse PCB for all management fees and expenses, and has received such approval from the FRB. The Company is not required to request further approvals for the reimbursement of management fees and expenses for the foreseeable future.
Change in Capital Classification
As of June 30, 2009, the Company and PCBNA each met the minimum ratios required to be classified as well-capitalized under the prompt corrective action and regulatory capital regulations. However, there is a substantial risk that the Company and PCBNA will fail to meet such requirements in future periods unless the Company is successful in executing on its three-year capital and strategic plan. If PCBNAs regulatory capital position were to deteriorate such that it was classified as
72
adequately capitalized, it might not be able to use brokered deposits as a source of funds. A well-capitalized institution may accept brokered deposits without restriction. An adequately capitalized institution must obtain a waiver from the FDIC in order to accept, renew or roll over brokered deposits. In addition, certain interest-rate limits apply to the financial institutions brokered and solicited deposits. Although an institution could seek permission from the FDIC to accept brokered deposits if it were no longer considered to be well-capitalized, the FDIC may deny permission, or may permit the institution to accept fewer brokered deposits than the level considered desirable. If PCBNAs level of deposits were to be reduced, either by the lack of a full brokered deposit waiver or by the interest rate limits on brokered or solicited deposits, we anticipate that PCBNA would reduce its assets and, most likely, curtail its lending activities. Other possible consequences of classification as an adequately capitalized institution include the potential for increases in borrowing costs and terms from the FHLB and other financial institutions and increases in FDIC insurance premiums. Such changes could have a material adverse effect on the Companys results of operations, financial condition and business.
Pursuit of Strategic Alternatives
On July 30, 2009, the Company announced that it has initiated a process to identify and evaluate a broad range of strategic alternatives to further strengthen its capital base and enhance shareholder value. As part of this process, the Company has retained Sandler ONeill + Partners, L.P. to serve as financial advisor. There can be no assurance that the exploration of strategic alternatives will result in any transaction. During the process, there may be risks that certain customers, employees, and shareholders may react negatively to the uncertainty of the process. The pursuit of strategic alternatives may also involve significant expenses and management time and attention.
Deferral of Interest on Trust Preferred Securities
In the second quarter of 2009, the Company elected to defer regularly scheduled interest payments on its outstanding $69.4 million of junior subordinated notes relating to its trust preferred securities. As a result, it is likely that the Company will not be able to raise money through the offering of debt securities until it becomes current on those obligations. This may also adversely affect the Companys ability to obtain debt financing on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. As a result, the Company will likely have greater difficulty in obtaining financing and, thus, will have fewer sources to enhance its capital and liquidity position. In addition, if the Company defers interest payments on the junior subordinated notes for more than 20 consecutive quarters, the Company would be in default under the governing agreements for such notes in and the amount due under such agreements would be immediately due and payable.
Additional Capital May be Necessary
If the Companys current rate of operating losses continue the Companys existing capital resources will not satisfy its capital requirements for the foreseeable future and will not be sufficient to offset any additional problem assets. Further, should the Companys asset quality erode and require significant additional provision for credit losses, resulting in additional net operating losses, the Companys capital levels will decline and it will need to raise capital to maintain its well-capitalized status and to satisfy its agreements with the regulators. The Companys ability to raise additional capital, if needed, will depend on conditions in the capital markets at that time, which are outside the Companys control, and on the Companys financial performance. Accordingly, the Company cannot be certain of its ability to raise additional capital if needed or on acceptable terms. If the Company cannot raise additional capital when needed, its results of operations and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected. In addition, if the Company were to raise additional capital through the issuance of additional shares, its stock price could be adversely affected, depending on the terms of any shares it were to issue.
Rating Agency Downgrades
The major credit agencies regularly evaluate the Companys creditworthiness and assign credit ratings to the Company and the Bank. The agencies ratings are based on a number of factors, some of which are not within the Companys control. In addition to factors specific to the financial strength and performance of the Company and the Bank, the agencies also consider conditions affecting the financial services industry generally. On July 31, 2009, Moodys Investor Services downgraded the ratings of the Company from Baa1 to Caa1, the long term deposits of the Bank from Baa3 to B1, the financial strength of the Bank from D+ to E+, and the short-term debt of the Bank from Prime-3 to Not Prime, and the long-term debt of the Bank remains on review for possible downgrade. On July 31, 2009, DBRS downgraded the ratings of the Company from BB (high) to B, the senior debt of the Company from BB (high) to B, and the deposits and senior debt of the Bank from BBB to BB, and all ratings remain Under Review with Negative Implications. These lower ratings, and any further ratings downgrades, could make it more difficult for us to access the capital markets going forward, as the cost to borrow or raise debt or equity capital could become more expensive. Although the cost of the Banks primary funding sources (deposits and FHLB borrowings) is not influenced directly by the Banks credit ratings, no assurance can be given that PCB and the Banks credit rating will not have any impact on the Banks access to deposits and FHLB borrowings. Long-term debt ratings also factor into the calculation of deposit insurance premiums, and a reduction in the Banks ratings would increase premiums and expense.
