Factors that might cause such a difference include, but are not limited to, local, regional, national and international economic conditions and events and the impact they may have on us and our customers; ability to attract deposits and other sources of liquidity; oversupply of inventory and continued deterioration in values of California real estate, both residential and commercial; a prolonged slowdown in construction activity; changes in the financial performance and/or condition of our borrowers; changes in the level of non-performing assets and charge-offs; the effect of acquisitions we may make; the effect of changes in laws and regulations (including laws and regulations concerning financial reform, taxes, banking, securities, executive compensation and insurance) with which we and our subsidiaries must comply; changes in estimates of future reserve requirements based upon the periodic review thereof under relevant regulatory and accounting requirements; inflation, interest rate, securities market and monetary fluctuations; cybersecurity breaches of our systems; political instability; acts of war or terrorism, or natural disasters, such as earthquakes, or the effects of pandemic flu; the timely development and acceptance of new banking products and services and perceived overall value of these products and services by users; changes in consumer spending, borrowing and savings habits; technological changes; the ability to increase market share and control expenses; changes in the competitive environment among financial and bank holding companies and other financial service providers; continued volatility in the credit and equity markets and its effect on the general economy; the effect of changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by the regulatory agencies, as well as the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the Financial Accounting Standards Board and other accounting standard setters; changes in our organization, management, compensation and benefit plans; the costs and effects of legal and regulatory developments including the resolution of legal proceedings or regulatory or other governmental inquiries, including, but not limited to, the current investigation by the Securities and Exchange Commission and the related class-action lawsuits filed against us, and the results of regulatory examinations or reviews. The Company cautions that the foregoing factors are not exclusive.

CVB FINANCIAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010
1. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
The accompanying condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements and notes thereto have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for Form 10-Q and conform to practices within the banking industry and include all of the information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial reporting. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements, accounting policies and financial notes thereto included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments), which are necessary for a fair presentation of financial results for the interim periods presented. A summary of the significant accounting policies consistently applied in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements follows.
Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CVB Financial Corp. (the Company) and its wholly owned subsidiary: Citizens Business Bank (the Bank) after elimination of all intercompany transactions and balances. The Company also has three inactive subsidiaries: CVB Ventures, Inc.; Chino Valley Bancorp; and ONB Bancorp. The Company is also the common stockholder of CVB Statutory Trust I, CVB Statutory Trust II, CVB Statutory Trust III and FCB Trust II. CVB Statutory Trusts I and II were created in December 2003 and CVB Statutory Trust III was created in January 2006 to issue trust preferred securities in order to raise capital for the Company. The Company acquired FCB Trust II through the acquisition of First Coastal Bancshares (FCB). In accordance with ASC 810 Consolidation (previously Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 46R Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities), these trusts do not meet the criteria for consolidation.
Nature of Operations The Companys primary operations are related to traditional banking activities, including the acceptance of deposits and the lending and investing of money through the operations of the Bank. The Bank also provides automobile and equipment leasing to customers through its Citizens Financial Services Group and trust and investment-related services to customers through its CitizensTrust Division. The Banks customers consist primarily of small to mid-sized businesses and individuals located in San Bernardino County, Riverside County, Orange County, Los Angeles County, Madera County, Fresno County, Tulare County, Kern County and San Joaquin County. The Bank operates 43 Business Financial Centers, five Commercial Banking Centers, and three wealth management offices with its headquarters located in the city of Ontario.
The Companys operating business units have been divided into two main segments: (i) Business Financial and Commercial Banking Centers (Centers) and (ii) Treasury. The Business Financial and Commercial Banking Centers lines of business generally consist of loans, deposits, and fee generating products and services that the Bank offers to its clients and prospects. The other segment is Treasury, which manages the investment portfolio of the Company. The Companys remaining centralized functions and eliminations of inter-segment amounts have been aggregated and included in Other.
The internal reporting of the Company considers all business units. Funds are allocated to each business unit based on its need to fund assets (use of funds) or its need to invest funds (source of funds).
9
Net income is determined based on the actual net income of the business unit plus the allocated income or expense based on the sources and uses of funds for each business unit. Non-interest income and non-interest expense are those items directly attributable to a business unit.
Cash and due from banks Cash on hand, cash items in the process of collection, and amounts due from correspondent banks, the Federal Reserve Bank and interest-bearing balances due from depository institutions, with initial terms of ninety days or less, are included in Cash and due from banks.
Investment Securities The Company classifies as held-to-maturity those debt securities that the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity. Securities classified as trading are those securities that are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term. All other debt and equity securities are classified as available-for-sale. Securities held-to-maturity are accounted for at cost and adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Trading securities are accounted for at fair value with the unrealized gains and losses being included in current earnings. Available-for-sale securities are accounted for at fair value, with the net unrealized gains and losses, net of income tax effects, presented as a separate component of stockholders equity. Realized gains and losses on sales of securities are recognized in earnings at the time of sale and are determined on a specific-identification basis. Purchase premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the effective-yield method over the terms of the securities. For mortgage-backed securities (MBS), the amortization or accretion is based on estimated average lives of the securities. The lives of these securities can fluctuate based on the amount of prepayments received on the underlying collateral of the securities. The Companys investment in Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) stock is carried at cost.
At each reporting date, securities are assessed to determine whether there is an other-than-temporary impairment. Other-than-temporary impairment on investment securities is recognized in earnings when there are credit losses on a debt security for which management does not intend to sell and for which it is more-likely-than-not that the Company will not have to sell prior to recovery of the noncredit impairment. In those situations, the portion of the total impairment that is attributable to the credit loss would be recognized in earnings, and the remaining difference between the debt securitys amortized cost and its fair value would be included in other comprehensive income.
Loans Held for Sale Loans held for sale include mortgage loans originated for resale and other non-covered or covered loans transferred from our held-for-investment portfolio when a decision is made to sell a loan(s) and are reported at the lower of cost or fair value. Occasionally, we may transfer other loans from our held for investment loan portfolio to loans held for sale when a decision is made to sell a loan(s). Normally a formal marketing strategy or plan for sale is developed at the time the decision to sell the loan(s) is made. Cost generally approximates fair value at any reporting date, as the mortgage loans were recently originated. The transfer of the loan to held for sale is done at the lower of cost or fair value and if a reduction in value is required at time of the transfer, a charge-off is recorded against the allowance for credit losses. Any subsequent decline in value or any subsequent gain on sale of the loan is recorded to current earnings and reported as part of other non-interest income. Gains or losses on the sale of loans that are held for sale are recognized at the time of sale and determined by the difference between net sale proceeds and the net book value of the loans. We do not currently retain servicing on any mortgage loans sold.
Loans and Lease Finance Receivables Non-covered loans and lease finance receivables are reported at the principal amount outstanding, less deferred net loan origination fees. In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into commitments to extend credit to its customers. These commitments are not reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. As of September 30, 2011, the Company had entered into commitments with certain customers amounting to $593.4 million compared to $570.1 million at December 31, 2010. Letters of credit at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, were $64.6 million and $70.4 million, respectively.
10
Interest on non-covered loans and lease finance receivables is credited to income based on the principal amount outstanding. Non-covered loans are considered delinquent when principal or interest payments are past due 30 days or more and generally remain on accrual status between 30 and 89 days past due. Interest income is not recognized on non-covered loans and lease finance receivables when collection of interest is deemed by management to be doubtful. Non-covered loans on which the accrual of interest has been discontinued are designated as nonaccrual loans. In general, the accrual of interest on non-covered loans is discontinued when the loan becomes 90 days past due, or when the full collection of principal and interest is no longer probable. Factors considered in determining that the full collection of principal and interest is no longer probable include cash flow and liquidity of the borrower or property, the financial position of the guarantors and their willingness to support the loan as well as other factors and involve significant judgment. When an asset is placed on non-accrual status, previously accrued but unpaid interest is reversed against income. Subsequent collections of cash are applied as reductions to the principal balance unless the loan is returned to accrual status. Interest is not recognized using a cash-basis method. Non-accrual loans may be restored to accrual status when principal and interest become current and when the borrower is able to demonstrate payment performance for a sustained period, typically for six months. A non-accrual loan may return to accrual status sooner based on other significant events or mitigating circumstances. This policy is consistently applied to all classes of non-covered financing receivables.
The Company receives collateral to support loans, lease finance receivables, and commitments to extend credit for which collateral is deemed necessary. The most significant categories of collateral are real estate, principally commercial and industrial income-producing properties, real estate mortgages, and assets utilized in dairy, livestock and agribusiness.
Nonrefundable fees and direct costs associated with the origination or purchase of non-covered loans are deferred and netted against outstanding loan balances. The deferred net loan fees and costs are recognized in interest income over the loan term using the effective-yield method.
Loans are reported as a troubled debt restructuring when the Company grants a concession(s) to a borrower experiencing financial difficulties that it would not otherwise consider. Examples of such concessions include forgiveness of principal or accrued interest, reduction of the stated interest rate, or extending the maturity date(s) at a stated interest rate lower than the current market rate for new debt with similar risk. Loans modified that are not reported as a troubled debt restructuring include modifications such as certain extensions of maturity dates, insignificant changes in payment terms, or reductions of interest rates to current market rates where the modified terms are not considered concessions taken into account such items as additional payments made by the borrower to reduce the balance of the loan, additional collateral provided by the borrower, the proportion of the loan to the current liquidity and financial position of guarantors, an insignificant delay in the timing of payments, current market rates for new debt with similar risk to a borrower not in financial difficulty and other factors.
As a result of concessions on troubled debt restructured loans, these loans (both nonaccrual and accrual restructured loans) are deemed impaired. Impairment on non-collateral dependent restructured loans are measured by comparing the present value of expected future cash flows on the restructured loans discounted at the interest rate of the original loan agreement to the loans carrying value. The impairment amount if any is normally charged-off against the allowance for loan and lease losses.
A loan that has been placed on nonaccrual that is subsequently restructured will usually remain on nonaccrual status until the borrower is able to demonstrate repayment performance in compliance with the restructured terms for a sustained period, typically for six months. A troubled debt restructured loan may return to accrual status sooner based on other significant events or mitigating circumstances. A loan that has not been placed on nonaccrual may be restructured and such loan may remain on accrual status after such troubled debt restructuring.
11
A loan is generally considered impaired when based on current events and information it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. A loan for which there is an insignificant delay or amount of payments is not considered an impaired loan. Generally, impaired loans include loans on nonaccrual status and performing restructured loans. Depending on a particular loans circumstances, we measure impairment of a loan based upon either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loans effective interest rate, the fair value of the collateral less estimated costs to sell if the loan is collateral-dependent or an observable market price of the loan (usually only if the loan is held for sale). The Companys policy is to record a specific valuation allowance, which is included in the allowance for credit losses, or charge off that portion of an impaired loan that exceeds its fair value less selling costs. The majority of impaired loans that are collateral dependent are charged-off down to their estimated fair value of the collateral at each reporting date. The fair value is based on current appraisals. These are typically ordered at the time the loan is transferred to our special assets group or when the loan is showing signs of weakness or concern. These appraisals are normally updated at least annually, or more frequent, if there are concerns or indications that the value of the collateral may have changed significantly since the previous appraisal. The appraisals are performed by Bank-approved third-party appraisers. A specific valuation allowance is only recorded on collateral dependent impaired loans when a current appraisal is not yet available, an appraisal is still under review or on single-family mortgage loans if the loans are currently under review for a loan modification. These valuation allowances are generally based on previous appraisals adjusted for current market conditions, based on preliminary appraisal values that are still being reviewed or for single-family loans under review for modification on an appraisal or indications of comparable home sales from external sources. Charge-offs on non-collateral dependent loans are generally recorded when the probability of collection is remote. Charge-offs of unsecured consumer loans are recorded when the loan reaches 120 days past due or sooner as circumstances dictate. Except for the charge-offs of unsecured consumer loans, the charge-off policy is applied consistently across all portfolio segments. Generally, loans that have been charged-off remain on nonaccrual unless the loan has been restructured and the borrower has demonstrated repayment performance under the modified terms for a sustained period and the company believes it will collect all principal and interest due according to the modified terms.
Impairment of single-family mortgage loans that have been modified in accordance with the various government modification programs has been measured based on the present value of the expected cash flows discounted at the loans pre-modification interest rate. Three such single-family mortgage loans have been returned to accrual status after demonstrating sustained repayment performance. The Company recognizes the change in present value attributable to the passage of time as interest income on such performing single-family mortgage loans and the amount of interest income recognized has been insignificant.
At September 30, 2011, the Company had non-covered impaired loans of $97.4 million. Of this amount, $989,000 consisted of non-accrual residential construction and land loans, $13.8 million in non-accrual commercial construction loans, $18.8 million of non-accrual single family mortgage loans, $25.4 million of non-accrual commercial real estate loans, $3.3 million of non-accrual commercial and industrial loans, $2.6 million of non-accrual dairy and livestock loans and $347,000 of non-accrual consumer loans. Non-covered impaired loans also include $55.7 million of loans whose terms were modified in a troubled debt restructure, of which $23.5 million are classified as non-accrual. The remaining balance of $32.2 million consists of 13 loans performing according to the restructured terms. These impaired loans had specific reserves of $3.1 million at September 30, 2011. At December 31, 2010, the Company had classified as impaired, non-covered loans with a balance of $170.3 million.
Covered Loans We refer to covered loans as those loans that we acquired in the San Joaquin Bank acquisition for which we will be reimbursed for a substantial portion of any future losses under the terms of the FDIC loss sharing agreement. We account for loans under ASC 310-30, Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality (acquired impaired loan accounting) when (i) we acquire loans deemed to be impaired when there is evidence of credit deterioration since their origination and it is
12
probable at the date of acquisition that we would be unable to collect all contractually required payments and (ii) as a general policy election for non-impaired loans that we acquire in a distressed bank acquisition. Acquired impaired loans are accounted for individually or in pools of loans based on common risk characteristics. The excess of the loans or pools scheduled contractual principal and interest payments over all cash flows expected at acquisition is the nonaccretable difference. The remaining amount, representing the excess of the loans cash flows expected to be collected over the fair value is the accretable yield (accreted into interest income over the remaining life of the loan or pool).
Provision and Allowance for Credit Losses The determination of the balance in the allowance for credit losses is based on an analysis of the loan and lease finance receivables portfolio using a systematic methodology and reflects an amount that, in managements judgment, is appropriate to provide for probable credit losses inherent in the portfolio, after giving consideration to the character of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions, past credit loss experience, and such other factors that would deserve current recognition in estimating inherent credit losses.
There are different qualitative risks for the loans in each portfolio segment. The construction and real estate segments predominant risk characteristic is the collateral and the geographic location of the property collateralizing the loan as well as the operating cash flow for commercial real estate properties. The commercial and industrial segments predominant risk characteristics are the cash flow of the businesses we lend to, the global cash flows and liquidity of the guarantors as well as economic and market conditions. The dairy and livestock segments predominant risk characteristics are milk and beef prices in the market as well as the cost of feed and cattle. The municipal lease segments predominant risk characteristics are the municipalitys general financial condition and tax revenues or if applicable the specific project related financial condition. The consumer, auto and other segments predominant risk characteristics are employment and income levels as it relates to consumers and cash flows of the businesses as it relates to equipment and vehicle leases to businesses.
The Companys methodology is consistently applied across all the portfolio segments taken into account the applicable historical loss rates and the qualitative factors applicable to each pool of loans. A key factor in the Companys methodology is the loan risk rating (Pass, Special Mention, Substandard, Doubtful and Loss). Loan risk ratings are updated as facts related to the loan or borrower become available. In addition, all term loans in excess of $1.0 million are subject to an annual internal credit review process where all factors underlying the loan, borrower and guarantors are reviewed and may result in changes to the loans risk rating. There has been no significant changes to the methodology or policies in the periods presented, except for one new factor added to the allowance for credit losses methodology during the quarter ended September 30, 2011. As part of the qualitative analysis, this new factor is used to adjust the historical loan loss rates to include an adjustment for indicated volatility in the value of various types of real estate collateral in our market area. The estimate is reviewed quarterly by the Board of Directors and management and periodically by various regulatory entities and, as adjustments become necessary, they are reported in earnings in the periods in which they become known.
A provision for credit losses on the covered portfolio will be recorded if there is deterioration in the expected cash flows on covered loans compared to those previously estimated without regard to the reimbursement from the FDIC under the FDIC loss sharing agreement. The portion of the loss on covered loans reimbursable from the FDIC is recorded in noninterest income as an increase in FDIC loss sharing asset. Decreases in expected cash flows on the acquired impaired loans as of the measurement date compared to previously estimated are recognized by recording a provision for credit losses on acquired impaired loans. Loans accounted for as part of a pool are measured based on the expected cash flows of the entire pool.
The provision for credit losses is charged to expense. During the first nine months of 2011, we recorded a provision for credit losses of $7.1 million. The allowance for credit losses was $95.5 million as of September 30, 2011, or 3.01% of total non-covered loans and leases compared to $105.3 million as of December 31, 2010, or 3.12% of total non-covered loans and leases.
Premises and Equipment Premises and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation, which is provided for in amounts sufficient to relate the cost of depreciable assets to operations over their
13
estimated service lives using the straight-line method. Properties under capital lease and leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of estimated economic lives of 15 years or the initial terms of the leases. Estimated lives are 3 to 5 years for computer equipment, 5 to 7 years for furniture, fixtures and equipment, and 15 to 40 years for buildings and improvements. Long-lived assets are reviewed periodically for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The existence of impairment is based on undiscounted cash flows. To the extent impairment exists, the impairment is calculated as the difference in fair value of assets and their carrying value. The impairment loss, if any, would be recorded in noninterest expense.
FDIC Loss Sharing Asset The FDIC loss sharing asset is initially recorded at fair value which represents the present value of the estimated cash payments from the FDIC for future losses on covered loans. The ultimate collectability of this asset is dependent upon the performance of the underlying covered loans, the passage of time and claims paid by the FDIC. The loss estimates used in calculating the FDIC loss sharing asset are determined on the same basis as the loss estimates on the related covered loans and is the present value of the cash flows the Company expects to collect from the FDIC under the shared-loss agreement. The difference between the present value and the undiscounted cash flow the Company expects to collect from the FDIC is accreted into noninterest income over the life of the FDIC indemnification asset. The FDIC indemnification asset is adjusted for any changes in expected cash flows based on the loan performance. Any increases in cash flow of the loans over those expected will reduce the FDIC indemnification asset and any decreases in cash flow of the loans over those expected will increase the FDIC indemnification asset. Increase and decreases to the FDIC indemnification asset are recorded as adjustments to other operating income.
Non-covered Other Real Estate Owned Non-covered other real estate owned (OREO) represents real estate acquired through foreclosure in satisfaction of commercial and real estate loans and is stated at fair value, minus estimated costs to sell (fair value at time of foreclosure). Non-covered loan balances in excess of fair value of the real estate acquired at the date of acquisition are charged against the allowance for credit losses. Any subsequent operating expenses or income, reduction in estimated values, and gains or losses on disposition of such properties are charged to current operations.
Covered Other Real Estate Owned All other real estate owned acquired in the FDIC-assisted acquisition of SJB are included in a FDIC shared-loss agreement and are referred to as covered other real estate owned. Covered other real estate owned is reported exclusive of expected reimbursement cash flows from the FDIC. Fair value adjustments on covered other real estate owned result in a reduction of the covered other real estate carrying amount and a corresponding increase in the estimated FDIC reimbursement, with the estimated net loss to the Company charged against earnings.
Business Combinations and Intangible Assets The Company has engaged in the acquisition of non FDIC-assisted financial institutions and the assumption of deposits and purchase of assets from other financial institutions in its market area. The Company has paid premiums on certain transactions, and such premiums are recorded as intangible assets, in the form of goodwill or other intangible assets. Goodwill is not being amortized whereas identifiable intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their useful lives. The Company performed its annual impairment test as of July 1, 2011 to determine whether and to what extent, if any, recorded goodwill was impaired. There was no recorded impairment as of September 30, 2011.
At September 30, 2011 goodwill was $55.1 million. As of September 30, 2011, intangible assets that continue to be subject to amortization include core deposit premiums of $6.4 million (net of $25.6 million of accumulated amortization). Amortization expense for such intangible assets was $2.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. Estimated amortization expense for the remainder of 2011 is expected to be $852,000. Estimated amortization expense for the succeeding years is $2.2 million for 2012, $1.1 million for 2013, $475,000 for 2014, $437,000 for 2015 and $1.3 million for the period from 2016 to 2019. The weighted average remaining life of intangible assets is approximately 1.7 years.
14
Bank Owned Life Insurance The Company invests in Bank-Owned Life Insurance (BOLI). BOLI involves the purchasing of life insurance by the Company on a select group of employees. The Company is the owner and primary beneficiary of these policies. BOLI is recorded as an asset at cash surrender value. Increases in the cash value of these policies, as well as insurance proceeds received, are recorded in other non-interest income and are not subject to income tax.
Income Taxes Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Future realization of deferred tax assets ultimately depends on the existence of sufficient taxable income of the appropriate character (for example, ordinary income or capital gain) within the carryback or carryforward periods available under the tax law. Based on historical and future expected taxable earnings and available strategies, the Company considers the future realization of these deferred tax assets more likely than not.
The tax effects from an uncertain tax position are recognized in the financial statements only if, based on its merits, the position is more likely than not to be sustained on audit by the taxing authorities. Interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions are recorded as part of other operating expense.
Earnings per Common Share The Company calculates earnings per common share (EPS) using the two-class method. The two-class method requires the Company to present EPS as if all of the earnings for the period are distributed to common shareholders and any participating securities, regardless of whether any actual dividends or distributions are made. All outstanding unvested share-based payment awards that contain rights to non-forfeitable dividends are considered participating securities. The Company grants restricted shares under the 2008 Equity Incentive Plan that qualify as participating securities. Restricted shares issued under this plan are entitled to dividends at the same rate as common stock.
Basic earnings per common share are computed by dividing income allocated to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period. The computation of diluted earnings per common share considers the number of tax-effected shares issuable upon the assumed exercise of outstanding common stock options. Share and per share amounts have been retroactively restated to give effect to all stock dividends and splits. The number of shares outstanding at September 30, 2011 was 104,581,689. The tables below presents the reconciliation of earnings per share for the periods indicated.

Stock-Based Compensation At September 30, 2011, the Company has three stock-based employee compensation plans, which are described more fully in Note 17 in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Company accounts for stock compensation using the modified prospective method. Under this method, awards that are granted, modified, or settled after December 31, 2005, are fair valued as of grant date and compensation costs recognized over the vesting period on a straight-lined basis. Also under this method, unvested stock awards as of January 1, 2006 are recognized over the remaining service period with no change in historical reported earnings.
Derivative Financial Instruments All derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, are recognized on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value. For derivatives designated as fair value hedges, changes in the fair value of the derivative and the hedged item related to the hedged risk are recognized in earnings. Changes in fair value of derivatives designated and accounted for as cash flow hedges, to the extent they are effective as hedges, are recorded in Other Comprehensive Income, net of deferred taxes and are subsequently reclassified to earnings when the hedged transaction affects earnings. Any hedge ineffectiveness would be recognized in the income statement line item pertaining to the hedged item.
Statement of Cash Flows Cash and cash equivalents as reported in the statements of cash flows include cash and due from banks, interest-bearing balances due from depository institutions and federal funds sold with original maturities of three months or less. Cash flows from loans and deposits are reported net.
CitizensTrust This division provides trust, investment and brokerage related services, as well as financial, estate and business succession planning services. CitizensTrust services its clients through three offices in Southern California: Pasadena, Ontario, and Irvine. CitizensTrust has approximately $2.0 billion in assets under administration, including $1.6 billion in assets under management. The amount of these funds and the related liability have not been recorded in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets because they are not assets or liabilities of the Bank or Company, with the exception of any funds held on deposit with the Bank.
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from
16
those estimates. A material estimate that is particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relates to the determination of the allowance for credit losses. Other significant estimates which may be subject to change include fair value determinations and disclosures, impairment of investments, goodwill, loans, determining the amount and realization of the FDIC loss sharing asset, and valuation of deferred tax assets, other intangibles and OREO.
Other Contingencies In the ordinary course of business, the Company becomes involved in litigation. Based upon the Companys internal records and discussions with legal counsel, the Company records reserves as appropriate, for estimates of the probable outcome of all cases brought against the Company. Except as discussed in Part II Other Information Item 1. Legal Proceedings, at September 30, 2011 the Company does not have any litigation reserves and is not aware of any material pending legal action or complaints asserted against the Company.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-02, Receivables (Topic 310): A Creditors Determination of Whether a Restructuring Is a Troubled Debt Restructuring. The update provides additional guidance for creditors in determining whether a creditor has granted a concession and whether a debtor is experiencing financial difficulties for purposes of determining whether a restructuring constitutes a troubled debt restructuring. The provisions of this standard are effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after June 15, 2011, and should be applied retrospectively to restructurings occurring on or after January 1, 2011. The adoption of this guidance on July 1, 2011 did not have a material effect on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, Testing Goodwill for Impairment. The provisions of ASU 2011-08 permits an entity an option to first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If an entity believes, as a result of its qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the quantitative impairment test is required. Otherwise, no further impairment testing is required. ASU 2011-08 includes examples of events and circumstances that may indicate that a reporting units fair value is less than its carrying amount. The provisions of ASU No. 2011-08 are effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted provided that the entity has not yet performed its annual impairment test for goodwill. The Company performs its annual impairment test for goodwill on July 1 of each year. The adoption of ASU 2011-08 is not expected to have a material impact on the Companys statements of income and condition.
Reclassification Certain amounts in the prior periods financial statements and related footnote disclosures have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation with no impact on previously reported net income or stockholders equity.

The tables above show the Companys investment securities gross unrealized losses and fair value by investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position, at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010. The Company has reviewed individual securities to determine whether a decline in fair value below the amortized cost is other-than-temporary.
The following summarizes our analysis of these securities and the unrealized losses. This assessment was based on the following factors: i) the length of the time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than amortized cost; ii) adverse condition specifically related to the security, an industry, or a geographic area and whether or not the Company expects to recover the entire amortized cost, iii) historical and implied volatility of the fair value of the security; iv) the payment structure of the security and the likelihood of the issuer being able to make payments in the future; v) failure of the issuer of the security to make scheduled interest or principal payments, vi) any changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency, and vii) recoveries or additional declines in fair value subsequent to the balance sheet date.
CMO Held-to-Maturity We have one investment security classified as held-to-maturity. This security was issued by Countrywide Financial and is collateralized by Alt-A mortgages. The mortgages are primarily fixed-rate, 30-year loans, originated in early 2006 with average FICO scores of 715 and an average LTV of 71% at origination. The security was a senior security in the securitization, was rated AAA at origination and was supported by subordinate securities. This security is classified as held-to-maturity
19
as we have both the intent and ability to hold this debt security to maturity as the amount of the security, $2.6 million, is not significant to our liquidity needs. We acquired this security in February 2008 at a price of 98.25%. The significant decline in the fair value of the security first appeared in August 2008 as the current financial crisis in the markets occurred and the market for securities collateralized by Alt-A mortgages diminished.
As of September 30, 2011, we had no unrealized loss on this security and the fair value on the security was 59% of the current par value. The security is rated non-investment grade. We evaluated the security for an other than temporary decline in fair value as of September 30, 2011. We assess for credit impairment using a cash flow model. The key assumptions include default rates, severities and prepayment rates. This security was determined to have additional credit impairment during the third quarter of 2011 due to continued degradation in expected cash flows primarily due to higher loss forecasts. We determined the amount of the credit impairment by discounting the expected future cash flows of the underlying collateral. We recognized an other-than-temporary impairment loss of $546,000 during the first nine months of 2011.
The following table provides a roll-forward of credit-related other-than-temporary impairment recognized in earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

Government Agency The government agency bonds are backed by the full faith and credit of Agencies of the U.S. Government. These securities are bullet securities, that is, they have a defined maturity date on which the principal is paid. The contractual term of these investments provides that the Company will receive the face value of the bond at maturity which will equal the amortized cost of the bond. Interest is received throughout the life of the security. There was no loss greater than 12 months on these securities at September 30, 2011.
Mortgaged-Backed Securities and CMO/REMICs Almost all of the mortgage-backed and CMO/REMICs securities are issued by the government-sponsored enterprises such as Ginnie Mae, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. These securities are collateralized or backed by the underlying residential mortgages. All mortgage-backed securities are rated investment grade with an average life of approximately 3.20 years. The contractual cash flows of 99.62% of these investments have the implied guarantee of the U.S. government provided to the U.S. government-sponsored agencies. The remaining 0.38% is issued by banks. Accordingly, it is expected the securities would not be settled at a price less than the amortized cost of the bonds. There was no loss greater than 12 months on these securities at September 30, 2011.
Municipal Bonds Ninety-nine percent of our $641.4 million municipal bond portfolio contains securities which have an underlying rating of investment grade. The majority of our municipal bonds are insured by the largest bond insurance companies with remaining maturities of approximately 6.16 years.
20
The unrealized loss greater than 12 months on these securities at September 30, 2011 was $360,000. The Company diversifies its holdings by owning selections of securities from different issuers and by holding securities from geographically diversified municipal issuers, thus reducing the Companys exposure to any single adverse event. Because we believe the decline in fair value is attributable to the changes in interest rates and not credit quality and because the Company does not intend to sell the investments and it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized costs, which may be at maturity, management does not consider these investments to be other than temporarily impaired at September 30, 2011.
We are continually monitoring the quality of our municipal bond portfolio in light of the current financial problems exhibited by certain monoline insurance companies. Many of the securities that would not be rated without insurance are pre-refunded and/or are general obligation bonds. Based on our monitoring of the municipal marketplace, to our knowledge, none of the municipalities are exhibiting financial problems that would lead us to believe there is a loss in any given security.
At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, investment securities having an amortized cost of approximately $2.08 billion and $1.74 billion respectively, were pledged to secure public deposits, short and long-term borrowings, and for other purposes as required or permitted by law.
The amortized cost and fair value of debt securities at September 30, 2011, by contractual maturity, are shown below. Although mortgage-backed securities and CMO/REMICs have contractual maturities through 2029, expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to prepay such obligations without penalty. Mortgage-backed securities and CMO/REMICs are included in maturity categories based upon estimated prepayment speeds.

During the second quarter ended June 30, 2011, a decision was made to sell one loan and it was transferred to held for sale at a fair value of $6.0 million and resulted in a charge-off against the allowance for loan losses of $619,000 at the time of transfer. This loan was subsequently sold in July, 2011 at a small gain. Also, in the nine months ended September 30, 2011, another loan classified as held for sale with a book value of $1.7 million was written-off to zero with the write-off reported as part of non-interest income. The loan was the subject of legal proceedings regarding our lien position and a preliminary decision by the court found that our lien was not in a first priority position. After careful analysis of the preliminary court decision and valuation of the subject collateral, we wrote off the remaining carrying amount.
During the third quarter ended September 30, 2011, twelve covered loans in an aggregate carrying balance of $5.7 million were transferred to held-for-sale.
Occasionally, the Company may decide to retain and not sell certain mortgage loans originated and will transfer them to its held for investment loan portfolio. This is generally done for customer service purposes.
As a result of adopting the amendments in ASU 2011-02, the Company reassessed all restructurings that occurred on or after the beginning of the current fiscal year (January 1, 2011) for identification as troubled debt restructurings. Loans that are reported as TDRs are considered impaired and evaluated for specific reserve on an individual loan basis. The majority of restructured loans during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 are loans for which the terms of repayment have been renegotiated, resulting in a reduction in interest rate or deferral of principal.
23
As of September, 2011, we had loans of $55.7 million classified as a troubled debt restructured, of which $23.5 million are non-performing and $32.2 million are performing. TDRs on accrual status are comprised of loans that were accruing at the time of restructuring or have demonstrated repayment performance in compliance with the restructured terms for a sustained period and for which the Company anticipates full repayment of both principal and interest. TDRs on accrual status at September 30, 2011 were mainly comprised of commercial real estate loans including construction loans.
At the end of the first interim period of adoption (September 30, 2011), there were no loans for which the allowance for credit losses was previously measured under a general allowance for credit losses methodology and are now impaired. The majority of TDRs have no specific reserves allocated as any impairment amount is normally charged-off. We have allocated $152,000 and zero specific reserves to TDRs as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.
The following are the loans modified as troubled debt restructuring for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2011:

As of September 30, 2011, there was one commercial and industrial loan with a recorded investment balance of $255,000 modified as troubled debt restructurings within the previous 12 months that subsequently defaulted during the nine months ended September 30, 2011.
4. | ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES AND OTHER REAL ESTATE OWNED |
The Credit Management Division is responsible for regularly reviewing the allowance for credit losses (ALLL) methodology, including loss factors and economic risk factors. The Banks Director Loan Committee provides Board oversight of the ALLL process and approves the ALLL methodology on a quarterly basis.
Central to our credit risk management is our loan risk rating system. The originating credit officer assigns borrowers an initial risk rating, which is reviewed and possibly changed by Credit Management, which is based primarily on a thorough analysis of each borrowers financial capacity in conjunction with industry and economic trends. Approvals are made based upon the amount of inherent credit risk specific to the transaction and are reviewed for appropriateness by senior line and credit management personnel. Credits are monitored by line and credit management personnel for deterioration in a borrowers financial condition, which would impact the ability of the borrower to perform under the contract. Risk ratings are adjusted as necessary.
Loans are risk rated into the following categories (Credit Quality Indicators): Pass, Pass Watch List, Special Mention, Substandard, Doubtful and Loss. Each of these groups is assessed for the proper amount to be used in determining the adequacy of our allowance for losses. These categories can be described as follows:
Pass These loans range from minimal credit risk to lower than average, but still acceptable, credit risk.
Pass Watch List Pass Watch list loans usually require more than normal management attention. Loans which qualify for the Pass Watch List may involve borrowers with adverse financial trends, higher debt/equity ratios, or weaker liquidity positions, but not to the degree of being considered a defined weakness or problem loan where risk of loss may be apparent.
Special Mention Loans assigned to this category are currently protected but are weak. Although concerns exist, the Company is currently protected and loss is unlikely. They have potential weaknesses that may, if not checked or corrected, weaken the asset or inadequately protect the Companys credit position at some future date.
Substandard Loans classified as substandard include poor liquidity, high leverage, and erratic earnings or losses. The primary source of repayment is no longer realistic, and asset or collateral liquidation may be the only source of repayment. Loans are marginal and require continuing and close supervision by credit management. Substandard loans have the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if deficiencies are not corrected.
Doubtful Loans classified doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified substandard with the added provision that the weaknesses make collection or the liquidation, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable. The possibility of loss is extremely high, but because of certain important and reasonable specific pending factors which may work to the advantage and strengthening of the assets, their classifications as losses are deferred until their more exact status may be determined.
25
Loss Loans classified as loss are considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as active assets of the Company is not warranted. This classification does not mean that the loan has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but rather it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off this basically worthless asset even though partial recovery may be affected in the future.
Our methodology for assessing the appropriateness of the allowance is conducted on a regular basis and considers all loans. The systematic methodology consists of two major phases.
In the first phase, individual loans are reviewed to identify loans for impairment. A loan is generally considered impaired when principal and interest are deemed uncollectible in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan. A loan for which there is an insignificant delay or amount of payments is not considered an impaired loan. Impairment is measured as either the expected future cash flows discounted at each loans effective interest rate, the fair value of the loans collateral if the loan is collateral dependent, or an observable market price of the loan (if one exists). If we determine that the value of the impaired loan is less than the recorded investment of the loan, we either recognize an impairment reserve as a Specific Allowance to be provided for in the allowance for credit losses or charge-off the impaired balance if it is determined that such amount represents a confirmed loss. Loans determined to be impaired are excluded from the formula allowance so as not to double-count the loss exposure.
The second phase is conducted by evaluating or segmenting the remainder of the loan portfolio into groups or pools of loans with similar characteristics. In this second phase, groups or pools of homogeneous loans are reviewed to determine a portfolio formula allowance. In the case of the portfolio formula allowance, homogeneous portfolios, such as small business loans, consumer loans, agricultural loans, and real estate loans, are aggregated or pooled in determining the appropriate allowance. The risk assessment process in this case emphasizes trends in the different portfolios for delinquency, loss, and other-behavioral characteristics of the subject portfolios.
Included in this second phase is our considerations of qualitative factors, including, all known relevant internal and external factors that may affect the collectability of a loan. This includes our estimates of the amounts necessary for concentrations, economic uncertainties, change in the real estate values for collateral dependent loans in our geographic market areas, and other relevant factors. These qualitative factors are used to adjust the historical loan loss rates for each pool of loans to determine the probable credit losses inherent in the portfolio.
The methodology is consistently applied across all the portfolio segments taking into account the applicable historical loss rates and the qualitative factors applicable to each pool of loans. There have been no significant changes to the methodology or policies in the periods presented, except for one new factor added to the allowance for credit losses methodology during the quarter ended September 30, 2011. As part of the qualitative analysis, this new factor is used to adjust the historical loan loss rates to include an adjustment for indicated volatility in the value of various types of real estate collateral in our market area.
The allowance for off-balance sheet credit exposure relates to commitments to extend credit, letters of credit and undisbursed funds on lines of credit. The Company evaluates credit risk associated with the loan and lease portfolio at the same time it evaluates credit risk associated with the off-balance sheet commitments. The Company recorded a decrease of $918,000 and an increase of $2.2 million in the reserve for undisbursed commitments for the first nine months of 2011 and 2010, respectively. As of September 30, 2011, the balance in this reserve was $9.6 million compared to a balance of $10.5 million as of December 31, 2010.
Management believes that the ALLL was adequate at September 30, 2011. No assurance can be given that economic conditions which adversely affect our service areas or other circumstances will not be reflected in increased provisions for credit losses in the future.

The Company recognizes the charge-off of impairment reserves on impaired loans in the period it arises for collateral dependent loans. Therefore, the majority of the non-accrual loans as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 have already been written-down to their estimated net realizable value. The impaired loans with a related allowance recorded are on non-accrual loans where a charge-off is not yet processed, on non-accrual SFR loans where there is a potential modification in process, or on smaller balance non-collateral dependent loans.
30
Had non-accrual loans for which interest was no longer accruing complied with the original terms and conditions of their notes, interest income would have been $2.9 million and $3.6 million greater for the nine months of 2011 and 2010, respectively.
5. | FAIR VALUE INFORMATION |
The following disclosure provides fair value information for financial assets and liabilities as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010. The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels (Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3).
| Level 1 Valuation is based upon quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets. |
| Level 2 Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments 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 Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use significant assumptions not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect the Companys own estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include use of option pricing models, discounted cash flows and similar techniques. |
Determination of Fair Value
The following is a description of valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities recorded at fair value and for estimating fair value for financial instruments not recorded at fair value.
Cash - The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents is considered to be a reasonable estimate of fair value.
Investment securities available-for-sale - Investment securities available-for-sale are valued based upon quotes obtained from a reputable third-party pricing service. The service uses evaluated pricing applications and model processes. Market inputs, such as, benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers and reference data are considered as part of the evaluation. The inputs are related directly to the security being evaluated, or indirectly to a similarly situated security. Market assumptions and market data are utilized in the valuation models. Accordingly, the Company categorized its investment portfolio as a Level 2 valuation.
Investment security held-to-maturity - Investment security held-to-maturity is carried at amortized cost-basis on the balance sheet. The fair value is determined using the same process described above for available-for-sale securities. During the third quarter ended September 30, 2011, an other-than-temporary impairment loss was recognized and the carrying balance was reduced to fair value.
Non-covered Loans - The carrying amount of loans and lease finance receivables is their contractual amounts outstanding, reduced by deferred net loan origination fees and the allocable portion of the allowance for credit losses.
The fair value of loans, other than loans on non-accrual status, was estimated by discounting the remaining contractual cash flows using the estimated current rate at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit risk characteristics and for the same remaining maturities, reduced by deferred net loan origination fees and the allocable portion of the allowance for credit losses.
31
Accordingly, in determining the estimated current rate for discounting purposes, no adjustment has been made for any change in borrowers credit risks since the origination of such loans. Rather, the allocable portion of the allowance for credit losses is considered to provide for such changes in estimating fair value. As a result, this fair value is not necessarily the value which would be derived using an exit price.
Non-covered impaired loans and OREO are generally measured using the fair value of the underlying collateral, which is determined based on the most recent appraisal information received, less costs to sell. Appraised values may be adjusted based on factors such as the changes in market conditions from the time of valuation or discounted cash flows of the property. As such, these loans fall within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
The fair value of commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit were not significant at either September 30, 2011 or December 31, 2010, as these instruments predominantly have adjustable terms and are of a short-term nature.
Covered Loans - Covered loans were measured at fair value on the date of acquisition. Thereafter, covered loans are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The above valuation discussion for non-covered loans is applicable to covered loans following their acquisition date.
Swaps - The fair value of the interest rate swap contracts are provided by our counterparty using a system that constructs a yield curve based on cash LIBOR rates, Eurodollar futures contracts, and 3-year through 30-year swap rates. The yield curve determines the valuations of the interest rate swaps. Accordingly, the swap is categorized as a Level 2 valuation.
Deposits and Borrowings - The amounts payable to depositors for demand, savings, and money market accounts, and the demand note to the U.S. Treasury, and short-term borrowings are considered to be stated at fair value. The fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities. The fair value of long-term borrowings and junior subordinated debentures is estimated using the rates currently offered for borrowings of similar remaining maturities.
Accrued Interest Receivable/Payable - The amounts of accrued interest receivable on loans and lease finance receivables and investments and accrued interest payable on deposits and borrowings are considered to be stated at fair value.

We may be required to measure certain assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with GAAP. These adjustments to fair value usually result from application of lower-of-cost-or-market accounting or write-downs of individual assets. For assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis that were still held in the balance sheet at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the following table provides the level of valuation assumptions used to determine each adjustment and the carrying value of the related assets.

The following table presents estimated fair value of financial instruments. The estimated fair value amounts have been determined by the Company using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented below are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could have realized in a current market exchange as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

The fair value estimates presented herein are based on pertinent information available to management as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010. Although management is not aware of any factors that would significantly affect the estimated fair value amounts, such amounts have not been comprehensively revalued for purposes of these financial statements since that date, and therefore, current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amounts presented above.
6. | BUSINESS SEGMENTS |
The Company has identified two principal reportable segments: Business Financial and Commercial Banking Centers (Centers) and the Treasury Department. The Companys subsidiary bank has 43 Business Financial Centers and five Commercial Banking Centers, organized in geographic regions, which are the focal points for customer sales and services. The Company utilizes an internal reporting system to measure the performance of various operating segments which is the basis for determining the Companys reportable segments. The Chief Operating Decision Maker (currently our CEO) regularly reviews the financial information of these segments in deciding how to allocate resources and assessing performance. Business Financial and Commercial Banking Centers are considered one operating segment as their products and services are similar and are sold to similar types of customers, have similar production and distribution processes, have similar economic characteristics, and have similar reporting and organizational structures. The Treasury Departments primary focus is managing investments, liquidity, and interest rate risk. Information related to the Companys remaining operating segments which include construction lending, dairy and livestock lending, leasing, CitizensTrust Division and centralized functions have been aggregated and included in Other. In addition, the Company allocates internal funds transfer pricing to the segments using a methodology that charges users of funds interest expense and credits providers of funds interest income with the net effect of this allocation being recorded in administration.
35
The following table represents the selected financial information for these two business segments. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America do not have an authoritative body of knowledge regarding the management accounting used in presenting segment financial information. The accounting policies for each of the business units is the same as those policies identified for the consolidated Company and identified in the footnote on the summary of significant accounting policies. The income numbers represent the actual income and expenses of each business unit. In addition, each segment has allocated income and expenses based on managements internal reporting system, which allows management to determine the performance of each of its business units. Loan fees, included in the Centers category are the actual loan fees paid to the Company by its customers. These fees are eliminated and deferred in the Other category, resulting in deferred loan fees for the consolidated financial statements. All income and expense items not directly associated with the two business segments are grouped in the Other category. Future changes in the Companys management structure or reporting methodologies may result in changes in the measurement of operating segment results.
36
The following tables present the operating results and other key financial measures for the individual reportable segments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 (Amounts in thousands):

7. | DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS |
The Company is exposed to certain risks relating to its ongoing business operations. The primary risks managed by using derivative instruments are market risk and interest rate risk. As of September 30, 2011, the Company entered into 65 interest-rate swap agreements with customers and 65 with a counterparty bank. The swaps are not designated as hedging instruments. The purpose of entering into offsetting derivatives not designated as a hedging instrument is to provide the Company a variable-rate loan receivable and provide the customer the financial effects of a fixed-rate loan without creating volatility in the Companys earnings.
The structure of the swaps is as follows. The Company enters into a swap with its customers to allow them to convert variable rate loans to fixed rate loans and, at the same time, the Company enters into a swap with the counterparty bank to allow the Company to pass on the interest-rate risk associated with fixed rate loans. The net effect of the transaction allows the Company to receive interest on the loan from the customer at a variable rate based on LIBOR plus a spread. The changes in the market value of the swaps primarily offset each other and therefore do not have a significant impact on the Companys results of operations.
38
As of September 30, 2011, the total notional amount of the Companys swaps was $362.2 million with $181.1 million in notional with the Companys customers and $181.1 million in notional with the counterparty bank. The following tables present the location of the asset and liability and the amount of gain recognized as of and for the three months ended September 30, 2011.

ITEM 2. | MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
We are a bank holding company with one bank subsidiary, Citizens Business Bank. We have three other inactive subsidiaries: CVB Ventures, Inc.; Chino Valley Bancorp and ONB Bancorp. We are also the common stockholder of CVB Statutory Trust I, CVB Statutory Trust II and CVB Statutory Trust III, statutory trusts which were formed to issue trust preferred securities in order to increase the capital of the Company. Through our acquisition of FCB in June 2007, we acquired FCB Capital Trust II, another statutory trust. We are headquartered in Ontario, California in what is known as the Inland Empire of California. Our geographical market area encompasses the City of Stockton in the center of California to the City of Laguna Beach (in Orange County) in the southern portion of California. Our mission is to offer the finest financial products and services to professionals and businesses in our market area while maintaining a strong capital base and prudent loan loss reserves. We intend to grow our business through targeted efforts at our existing customers, attracting new associates who bring customer relationships with them and acquisitions.
Our primary source of income is from the interest earned on our loans and investments whereas our primary area of expense is the interest paid on deposits, borrowings, and salaries and benefits. As such our net income is subject to fluctuations in interest rates and their impact on our income statement. We are also subject to competition from other financial institutions, which may affect our pricing of products and services, and the fees and interest rates we can charge on them.
Historically, we have been active in acquisitions and we will continue to consider acquisition targets, including FDIC-assisted acquisitions, which will enable us to meet our business objectives and enhance shareholder value along with organic growth. Since 2000, we have acquired five banks and a leasing company, and we have opened four de novo branches: Bakersfield, Fresno, Madera, and Stockton, California. We also opened five Commercial Banking Centers since 2008.
Economic conditions in our California service area impact our business. Economic growth continues to stagnate and continued decline in the housing market has resulted in slower growth in construction loans. Unemployment is high in our market areas and areas of our marketplace have been significantly affected by adverse economic conditions, both nationally and in California. Approximately 17.8% of our total loan portfolio of $3.5 billion is located in the Inland Empire region of California. The balance of the portfolio is from outside of this region. We continue to see the impact of constrained economic conditions on our loan portfolio, however there has been recent improvement in the level of our non-performing loans and the level of our classified assets. Continued weaknesses in the local and state economy could adversely affect us through diminished loan demand, credit quality deterioration, and increases in provisions for credit losses, loan delinquencies and defaults.
Despite the continued weakness in economic outlook, Fitch Ratings has affirmed the long-term Issuer Default Ratings (IDR) of the Company and the Bank at BBB. The affirmation of CVBFs ratings reflects its stable performance through the most recent cycle, solid core earnings and recent improvements in asset quality. Consistent performance is underpinned by a strong core deposit base that drives a consistently strong net interest margin.
Our net income increased to $60.0 million for the first nine months of 2011 compared with $53.1 million for the first nine months of 2010, an increase of $6.9 million, or 13.12%. Diluted earnings per share increased to $0.57 per share for 2011, from $0.50 per share for 2010. Operating results for the first nine months of 2011 include a $7.1 million provision for credit losses and an $11.6 million in interest income from accelerated accretion on loans from our FDIC assisted acquisition of San Joaquin Bank (SJB).
40
For the quarter ended September 30, 2011, our net income increased to $22.4 million compared to $17.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, an increase of $4.5 million, or 24.86%. Diluted earnings per share were $0.21 for the third quarter of 2011 compared to $0.17 for the third quarter of 2010.
During the first quarter of 2011, the Company sold six of seven notes previously held in connection with its former largest borrowing relationship. The six notes, with a carrying value of $42.9 million (and a legal principal balance of $78.1 million), were sold for $41.0 million, resulting in a $1.9 million charge-off. During the second quarter of 2011, the Company sold the remaining note previously held in conjunction with its former largest borrowing relationship with a carrying value of $2.4 million for $2.6 million, resulting in a $155,000 recovery.
The operating results for the third quarter and first nine months of 2011 were impacted by the accounting treatment of credit-related transactions from the San Joaquin Bank (SJB) loan portfolio. For further discussion, see Analysis of the Results of Operations section of this Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Critical accounting estimates are defined as those that are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties, and could potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. We believe that our most critical accounting estimates upon which our financial condition depends, and which involve the most complex or subjective decisions or assessments are as follows:
Allowance for Credit Losses: Arriving at an appropriate level of allowance for credit losses involves a high degree of judgment. Our allowance for credit losses provides for probable losses based upon evaluations of known and inherent risks in the loan portfolio. The determination of the balance in the allowance for credit losses is based on an analysis of the loan and lease finance receivables portfolio using a systematic methodology and reflects an amount that, in our judgment, is appropriate to provide for probable credit losses inherent in the portfolio, after giving consideration to the character of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions, past credit loss experience, and such other factors as deserve current recognition in estimating inherent credit losses. The provision for credit losses is charged to expense. For a full discussion of our methodology of assessing the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses, see the Risk Management section of this Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Investment Portfolio: The investment portfolio is an integral part of our financial performance. We invest primarily in fixed income securities. Accounting estimates are used in the presentation of the investment portfolio and these estimates do impact the presentation of our financial condition and results of operations. We classify securities as held-to-maturity those debt securities that we have the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity. Securities classified as trading are those securities that are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term. All other debt and equity securities are classified as available-for-sale. Securities held-to-maturity are accounted for at cost and adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Trading securities are accounted for at fair value with the unrealized holding gains and losses being included in current earnings. Securities available-for-sale are accounted for at fair value, with the net unrealized gains and losses, net of income tax effects, presented as a separate component of stockholders equity. At each reporting date, securities are assessed to determine whether there is an other-than-temporary impairment. Such impairment, if any, is required to be recognized in current earnings rather than as a separate component of stockholders equity. Realized gains and losses on sales of securities are recognized in earnings at the time of sale and are
41
determined on a specific-identification basis. Purchase premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the effective-yield method over the terms of the securities. Our investment in Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) stock is carried at cost.
Income Taxes: We account for income taxes using the asset and liability method by deferring income taxes based on estimated future tax effects of differences between the tax and book basis of assets and liabilities considering the provisions of enacted tax laws. These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included in our balance sheets. We must also assess the likelihood that any deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income and establish a valuation allowance for those assets determined to not likely be recoverable. Our judgment is required in determining the amount and timing of recognition of the resulting deferred tax assets and liabilities, including projections of future taxable income. Although we have determined a valuation allowance is not required for any of our deferred tax assets, there is no guarantee that these assets are recoverable.
Covered Other Real Estate Owned: All other real estate owned acquired in the FDIC-assisted acquisition of SJB are included in a FDIC shared-loss agreement and are referred to as covered other real estate owned. Covered other real estate owned is reported exclusive of expected reimbursement cash flows from the FDIC. Fair value adjustments on covered other real estate owned result in a reduction of the covered other real estate carrying amount and a corresponding increase in the estimated FDIC reimbursement, with the estimated net loss charged against earnings.
FDIC Loss Sharing Asset: In conjunction with the FDIC-assisted acquisition of San Joaquin Bank, the Company entered into a shared-loss agreement with the FDIC for amounts receivable under the shared-loss agreement. At the date of the acquisition the Company elected to account for amounts receivable under the shared-loss agreement as a loss sharing asset in accordance with ASC 805. Subsequent to the acquisition the loss sharing asset is adjusted for payments received and changes in estimates of expected losses and is not being accounted for under fair value. The loss estimates used in calculating the FDIC loss sharing asset are determined on the same basis as the related covered loans and is the present value of the cash flows the Company expects to collect from the FDIC under the shared-loss agreement. The difference between the present value and the undiscounted cash flow the Company expects to collect from the FDIC is accreted into noninterest income over the life of the FDIC indemnification asset. The FDIC indemnification asset is adjusted for any changes in expected cash flows based on the loan performance. Any increases in cash flow of the loans over those expected will reduce the FDIC indemnification asset and any decreases in cash flow of the loans over those expected will increase the FDIC indemnification asset. Increase and decreases to the FDIC indemnification asset are recorded as adjustments to other operating income.
Other Real Estate Owned: Other real estate owned (OREO) represents properties acquired through foreclosure or through full or partial satisfaction of loans, is considered held for sale, and is recorded at the lower of cost or estimated fair value at the time of foreclosure. Loan balances in excess of fair value of the real estate acquired at the date of foreclosure are charged against the allowance for credit losses. After foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed as deemed necessary by management and the real estate is carried at the lower of carrying value or fair value less costs to sell. Subsequent declines in the fair value of the OREO below the carrying value are recorded through the use of a valuation allowance by charges to other operating expense. Any subsequent operating expenses or income of such properties are charged to other operating expense or income, respectively. Any declines in value after foreclosure are recorded as OREO expense. Revenue recognition upon disposition of a property is dependent on the sale having met certain criteria relating to the buyers initial investment in the property sold.
The Company is able and willing to provide financing for entities purchasing loans or OREO assets. Our general guideline is to seek an adequate down payment (as a percentage of the purchase price) from the buyer. We will consider lower down payments when this is not possible; however, accounting rules require certain minimum down payments in order to record the profit on sale, if any. The minimum down payment varies by the type of underlying real estate collateral.
42
Goodwill and Intangible Assets: We have acquired entire banks and branches of banks. Those acquisitions accounted for under the purchase method of accounting have given rise to goodwill and intangible assets. We record the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their fair value. These fair values are arrived at by use of internal and external valuation techniques. The excess purchase price is allocated to assets and liabilities respectively, resulting in identified intangibles. The identified intangibles are amortized over the estimated lives of the assets or liabilities. Any excess purchase price after this allocation results in goodwill. Goodwill is tested on an annual basis for impairment.
Acquired Loans: Loans acquired from SJB were recorded at fair value as of the acquisition date. In estimating the fair value, the portfolio was segregated into two groups: credit-impaired covered loans and other covered loans. Credit-impaired loans are those loans showing evidence of credit deterioration since origination and it is probable, at the date of acquisition, that the Company will not collect all contractually required principal and interest payments. For the credit-impaired loans, the fair value was estimated by using observable market data for similar types of loans. For the other covered loans, the fair value was estimated by calculating the undiscounted expected cash flows based on estimated levels of prepayments, default factors, and loss severities and discounting the expected cash flows at a market rate. Significant estimates are used in calculating the fair value of acquired loans; as a result, actual results may be different than estimates.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments: We use fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain financial instruments and to determine fair value disclosures. Investment securities available-for-sale and interest-rate swaps are financial instruments recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Additionally, from time to time, we may be required to record at fair value other financial assets on a non-recurring basis, such as impaired loans and OREO. These nonrecurring fair value adjustments typically involve application of lower-of-cost-or-market accounting or write-downs of individual assets. Further, we include in the Notes to Financial Statements information about the extent to which fair value is used to measure assets and liabilities, the valuation methodologies used and its impact to earnings. Additionally, for financial instruments not recorded at fair value we disclose the estimate of their fair value.
ANALYSIS OF THE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Earnings
We reported net earnings of $60.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. This represented an increase of $6.9 million or 13.12%, from net earnings of $53.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Basic and diluted earnings per common share for the nine-month period increased to $0.57 per common share for 2011, compared to $0.50 per common share for 2010.

Income and expense related to covered loans include accretion of the difference between the carrying amount of the covered loans and their expected cash flows, increase (decrease) in the FDIC loss sharing assets as well as the other noninterest expenses related to covered loans.
Accelerated discount accretion recognized as a part of interest income recognized on covered loans decreased by $10.7 million to $11.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from $22.3 million for the same period in 2010. The decrease in accelerated accretion of discount was partially offset by a decrease of $13.7 million in reduction in FDIC loss share assets from $1.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $14.8 million for the same period in 2010.
The Company also recognized net gain on sales of covered OREO of $185,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to a loss of $916,000 for the same period in 2010.
Noninterest expense related to covered assets includes OREO expense, legal and professional expense and other covered asset-related expenses. Total covered asset-related expenses were $2.4 million and $6.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, up from $789,000 and $1.9 million for the same period in 2010.
Net Interest Income
The principal component of our earnings is net interest income, which is the difference between the interest and fees earned on loans and investments (earning assets) and the interest paid on deposits and borrowed funds (interest-bearing liabilities). Net interest margin is the taxable-equivalent of net interest income as a percentage of average earning assets for the period. The level of interest rates and the volume and mix of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities impact net interest income and net interest margin. The net interest spread is the yield on average earning assets minus the cost of average interest-bearing liabilities. Our net interest income, interest spread, and net interest margin are sensitive to general business and economic conditions. These conditions include short-term and long-term interest rates, inflation, monetary supply, and the strength of the economy, in general, and the local economies in which we conduct business. Our ability to manage the net interest income during changing interest rate environments will have a significant impact on our overall performance. Our balance sheet is currently
44
slightly liability-sensitive; meaning interest-bearing liabilities will generally reprice more quickly than earning assets. Therefore, our net interest margin is likely to decrease in sustained periods of rising interest rates and increase in sustained periods of declining interest rates. We manage net interest income by affecting changes in the mix of earning assets as well as the mix of interest-bearing liabilities, changes in the level of interest-bearing liabilities in proportion to earning assets, and in the growth of earning assets.
Our net interest income, before the provision for credit losses, totaled $179.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. This represented a decrease of $20.7 million, or 10.33%, from net interest income, before provision for credit losses, of $200.2 million for the same period in 2010. This decrease in net interest income resulted from a $41.1 million decrease in interest income and a $20.4 million decrease in interest expense.
Interest income totaled $206.2 million for the first nine months of 2011. This represented a decrease of $41.1 million, or 16.61%, compared to total interest income of $247.3 million for the same period last year. The decrease in interest income is primarily due to lower earning assets, lower interest rates and a $10.7 million decrease in discount accretion on covered loans acquired from SJB. The discount accretion represents accelerated principal payments on SJB loans and is recorded as a yield adjustment to interest income. The average yield on earning assets decreased to 4.74% for the nine months of 2011 from 5.35% for the same period of 2010, or 61 basis points. Average earning assets decreased by $350.1 million, or 5.49%, from $6.38 billion to $6.03 billion.
Interest expense totaled $26.7 million for the first nine months of 2011. This represented a decrease of $20.4 million, or 43.26%, from total interest expense of $47.1 million for the same period last year. The decrease in interest expense was due to the decrease in average borrowings of $360.0 million, from $1.57 billion as of September 30, 2010 to $1.21 billion as of September 30, 2011. The average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities decreased to 0.91% for the first nine months of 2011 from 1.39% for the same period in 2010, or 48 basis points. The average cost of deposits decreased to 0.21% for the first nine months of 2011 from 0.43% for the same period in 2010, or 22 basis points. The decrease in rates paid on deposits and borrowings also included a decrease in average interest-bearing deposits of $232.1 million, or 7.99%, from $2.91 billion to $2.67 billion.
For the third quarter ended September 30, 2011, our net interest income, before provision for credit losses, totaled $60.0 million. This represented a decrease of $2.6 million, or 4.21%, from net interest income of $62.6 million for the same period in 2010. The decrease in net interest income of $2.6 million resulted from a decrease in interest income of $7.9 million and a decrease in interest expense of $5.3 million.
Interest income totaled $68.5 million for the third quarter of 2011. This represented a decrease of $7.9 million, or 10.39%, compared to total interest income of $76.5 million for the same period last year. The decrease in interest income for the third quarter ending September 30, 2011 as compared to the third quarter ending September 30, 2010 was primarily due to lower earning assets and lower interest rates.
Interest expense totaled $8.6 million for the third quarter of 2011. This represented a decrease of $5.3 million or 38.30%, from total interest expense of $13.9 million for the same period last year. The decrease in interest expense was due to the decrease in average borrowings of $286.8 million, or 19.70%. The average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities decreased to 0.89% for the third quarter ending September 30, 2011 from 1.25% for the same period in 2010, or 36 basis points. The average cost of deposits decreased to 0.17% for the third quarter ending September 30, 2011 from 0.37% for the same period in 2010, or 20 basis points. Average interest-bearing deposits decreased $278.0 million, or 9.62%, from $2.89 billion to $2.61 billion.

As stated above, the net interest margin measures net interest income as a percentage of average earning assets. Our tax effected (TE) net interest margin was 4.15% for the first nine months of 2011, compared to 4.37% for the first nine months of 2010. The decrease in the net interest margin from the same period last year is primarily the result of a $10.7 million decrease in discount accretion on covered SJB loans which impacted interest income on loans. This was partially offset by changes in the mix of assets and liabilities as discussed in the following paragraphs. Generally, our net interest margin improves in a decreasing interest rate environment as our deposits and borrowings reprice faster than our loans and securities. Our tax effected (TE) net interest margin was 4.11%, for the third quarter of 2011 and 2010.
The net interest spread is the difference between the yield on average earning assets and the cost of average interest-bearing liabilities. The net interest spread is an indication of our ability to manage rates received on loans and investments and rates paid on deposits and borrowings in a competitive and changing interest rate environment. Our net interest spread (TE) was 3.83% for the first nine months of 2011 and 3.96% for the same period last year. The decrease in the net interest spread for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 resulted from a 61 basis point decrease in the yield on earning assets and a 48 basis point decrease in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities, thus generating a 13 basis point decrease in the net interest spread from the same period last year.
47
For the third quarter of 2011, the Companys net interest spread (TE) was 3.78% as compared to 3.72% for the same period last year. The increase in net interest spread for the third quarter ended September 30, 2011 resulted from a 30 basis point decrease in yield on earning assets and a 36 basis point decrease in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities, thus generating a 6 basis point increase in the net interest spread from the same period last year.
The yield (TE) on earning assets decreased to 4.74% for the nine months of 2011, from 5.35% for the same period last year. Average loans as a percent of earning assets decreased to 59.22% in the nine months of 2011 from 61.81% for the same period in 2010. Average investments as a percent of earning assets decreased to 32.06% in the nine months of 2011 from 31.66% for the same period in 2010. The yield on loans for the first nine months of 2011 decreased to 5.94% as compared to 6.27% for the same period in 2010 primarily as a result of a $10.7 million decrease in discount accretion on SJB covered loans. The yield (TE) on investments for the first nine months of 2011 decreased to 3.72% compared to 4.57% for the same period in 2010.
The cost of average interest-bearing liabilities decreased to 0.91% for the first nine months of 2011 as compared to 1.39% for the same period in 2010, reflecting a decrease in interest rates and change in the mix of interest-bearing liabilities. Average borrowings as a percent of average interest-bearing liabilities decreased to 31.15% during the first nine months of 2011 as compared to 35.08% for the same period in 2010. Average borrowings were $1.21 billion for the first nine months of 2011. This represents a decrease of $360.0 million or 22.93%, from average borrowings of $1.57 billion for the first nine months of 2010. The cost of borrowings for the first nine months of 2011 decreased to 2.16% as compared to 2.75% for the same period in 2010. Borrowings typically have a higher cost than interest-bearing deposits. The cost of interest-bearing deposits for the first nine months of 2011 decreased to 0.35% as compared to 0.66% for the same period in 2010, while average deposits including non-interest bearing deposits increased $3.5 million or 0.08% from the same periods. The overall decrease in interest rates and decrease in average borrowings, offset by an increase in average deposits, resulted in a decrease in our interest expense.
For the third quarter of 2011, the yield (TE) on earning assets decreased to 4.67%, from 4.97% for the same period last year. The cost of average interest-bearing liabilities decreased to 0.89% for the third quarter of 2011 as compared to 1.25% for the same period in 2010. The changes reflect the decreasing interest rate environment and change in mix of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, reflecting similar trends as described above.
Table 2 presents a comparison of interest income and interest expense resulting from changes in the volumes and rates on average earning assets and average interest-bearing liabilities for the periods indicated. Changes in interest income or expense attributable to volume changes are calculated by multiplying the change in volume by the initial average interest rate. The change in interest income or expense attributable to changes in interest rates is calculated by multiplying the change in interest rate by the initial volume. The changes attributable to both interest rate and volume changes are calculated by multiplying the change in rate times the change in volume.

Interest and Fees on Loans
Our major source of revenue and primary component of interest income is interest and fees on loans. Interest and fees on loans totaled $158.8 million for the first nine months of 2011. This represented a decrease of $26.3 million, or 14.21%, from interest and fees on loans of $185.1 million for the same period in 2010. The decrease in interest on loans was primarily due to a $15.6 million decrease in interest and fees on loans and a $10.7 million decrease in discount accretion on covered loans acquired from SJB (this amount represents the discount recognized from accelerated principal payments on SJB loans, it is recorded as a yield adjustment to interest income). As a result, the yield on loans decreased to 5.94% for the first nine months of 2011, compared to 6.27% for the same period in 2010. Average loans decreased $372.3 million, or 9.44%, from $3.94 billion for the first nine months of 2010 to $3.57 billion for the first nine months of 2011.
Interest and fees on loans totaled $52.8 million for the third quarter of 2011. This represented a decrease of $5.4 million, or 9.24%, from interest and fees on loans of $58.2 million for the same period in 2010. The decrease was primarily due to a $4.9 million decrease in interest and fees on loans primarily due to decreases in average loan balances.
In general, we stop accruing interest on a loan after its principal or interest becomes 90 days or more past due. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual, all interest previously accrued but not collected is charged against earnings. There was no interest income that was accrued and not reversed on non-performing loans at September 30, 2011 and 2010.
Fees collected on loans are an integral part of the loan pricing decision. Loan fees and the direct costs associated with the origination of loans are deferred and become a component of the loan balance. Deferred net loan fees are recognized in interest income over the term of the loan using the effective-yield method. We recognized loan fee income of $1.7 million for the first nine months of 2011, as compared to $2.2 million for the same period in 2010, a decrease of $518,000 or 23.57%.
Interest on Investments
The second most important component of interest income is interest on investments, which totaled $46.2 million for the first nine months of 2011. This represented a decrease of $15.0 million, or 24.53%, from interest on investments of $61.2 million for the same period in 2010. The decrease in interest on investments for the nine months of 2011 from the same period last year was primarily the result of a decrease in yield on investments and a decrease in average investments. The interest rate environment and the investment strategies we employ directly affect the yield on the investment portfolio. We continually adjust our investment strategies in response to the changing interest rate environment in order to maximize the rate of total return consistent within prudent risk parameters, and to minimize the overall interest rate risk of the Company. The total yield (TE) on investments decreased to 3.72% for the first nine months of 2011 compared to 4.57% for the first nine months of 2010. Average investment balances for the first nine months for 2011 decreased $86.6 million, or 4.29% from the same period last year.
For the third quarter of 2011, interest income on investments totaled $15.4 million. This represented a decrease of $2.4 million or 13.65%, from interest on investments of $17.8 million for the same period in 2010. The decrease in interest on investments for the third quarter of 2011 from the same period last year reflected decreases in the interest rates. The total yield (TE) on investments decreased to 3.65% for the third quarter of 2011, compared to 4.21% for the same period in 2010 as a result of the decreasing interest rate environment.
50
Interest on Deposits
Interest on deposits totaled $7.0 million for the first nine months of 2011. This represented a decrease of $7.5 million, or 51.61%, from interest on deposits of $14.4 million for the first nine months of 2010. The decrease is due to the decrease in interest rates on deposits plus a decrease in average interest-bearing deposit balances. The cost of interest-bearing deposits decreased to 0.35% for the first nine months of 2011 from 0.66% for the first nine months of 2010. The cost of total deposits decreased to 0.21% for the first nine months of 2011 from 0.43% for the first nine months of 2010. Average interest-bearing deposits decreased $232.1 million, or 7.99%, from the same period last year.
For the third quarter of 2011, interest on deposits totaled $2.0 million. This represented a decrease of $2.3 million, or 54.09%, from interest on deposits of $4.3 million for the same period in 2010. The decrease is due to the decrease in interest rates on deposit plus decreases in average interest-bearing deposit balances. The cost of interest-bearing deposits decreased to 0.30% for the third quarter of 2011 from 0.59% for the third quarter of 2010. The cost of total deposits decreased to 0.17% for the third quarter of 2011 from 0.37% for the third quarter of 2010. Average interest-bearing deposits decreased $278.0 million, or 9.62%, from the same period last year.
Interest on Borrowings
Interest on borrowings totaled $19.8 million for the first nine months of 2011. This represented a decrease of $12.9 million, or 39.58%, from interest on borrowings of $32.7 million for the same period of 2010. The decrease is due to the decrease in interest rate and decrease in average borrowings of $360.0 million, or 22.93%, compared to the same period last year. Interest rates on borrowings decreased to 2.16% for the first nine months of 2011 from 2.75% first nine months of 2010.
For the third quarter of 2011, interest on borrowings totaled $6.6 million. This represented a decrease of $2.9 million, or 31.18%, from interest on borrowings of $9.5 million for the same period of 2010. This decrease is due to the decrease in interest rates paid on borrowings and a decrease in average borrowings. Interest rates on borrowings decreased 37 basis points, from 2.57% for the third quarter of 2010 to 2.20% for the third quarter of 2011. Average borrowings decreased $286.8 million, or 19.70%.
Provision for Credit Losses
We maintain an allowance for inherent credit losses that is increased by a provision for credit losses charged against operating results. The provision for credit losses is determined by management as the amount to be added to the allowance for probable credit losses after net charge-offs have been deducted to bring the allowance to an appropriate level which, in managements best estimate, is necessary to absorb probable credit losses inherent within the existing loan portfolio.
We made a provision for credit losses of $7.1 million during the first nine months of 2011 and $48.5 million during the same period in 2010. The decrease in the provision for credit losses during the first nine months of 2011 was primarily due to a decrease in classified assets from December 31, 2010 to September 30, 2011 compared to the same period last year. We believe the allowance is appropriate as of the end of the period covered by this report. We continually assess the quality of our portfolio to determine whether additional provision for credit losses is necessary. The ratio of the allowance for credit losses to non-covered loans as of September 30, 2011 and 2010 was 3.01% and 3.08%, respectively.
No assurance can be given that economic conditions which adversely affect the Companys service areas, past credit loss experience, the characteristics of our loan portfolio or other circumstances will not be reflected in increased provisions for credit losses in the future. The nature of this process requires considerable judgment. Net charge-offs totaled $16.8 million for the first nine months of 2011 and $52.1 million during the same period of 2010. See Risk Management Credit Risk herein.
51
Other Operating Income
Other operating income for the Company includes income derived from special services offered, such as CitizensTrust, merchant card, international banking, and other business services. Also included in other operating income are service charges and fees, primarily from deposit accounts; gains (net of losses) from the sale of investment securities, other real estate owned, and fixed assets; and other revenues not included as interest on earning assets.
We reported other operating income of $23.5 million for the first nine months of 2011, compared to other operating income of $49.9 million during the same period of 2010. This represents a decrease of $26.4 million, or 52.96% primarily due to a $38.9 million gain on sale of investment securities during the first nine months of 2010 with none in the same period of 2011, partially offset by a decrease of $13.7 million in reduction in the FDIC loss sharing asset from $14.8 million during the first nine months of 2010 compared to a $1.1 million reduction during the first nine months of 2011.
During the first nine months of 2011, we reported increases in trust and investment services income, BOLI income and bankcard services income compared to the same period last year, partially offset by a decrease in service charge fee income. Service charge fee income of $11.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 decreased $913,000, or 7.20%, from service charge fee income of $12.7 million for the same period last year. Trust and investment services income of $6.5 million during the first nine months of 2011 increased $213,000, or 3.41%, from trust and investment service income of $6.3 million during the first nine months of 2010. BOLI income of $2.6 million for the first nine months ended September 30, 2011 increased $195,000 from the same period last year primarily due to a $207,000 increase related to the incremental death benefit on the death of an insured individual.
Other operating income totaled $7.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2011. This represents a decrease of $29.2million, or 79.54%, from total other operating income of $36.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2010. The decrease was primarily due to a gain on sale of securities of $30.1million during the quarter ended September 30, 2010 with none in the third quarter of 2011.
During the third quarter of 2011, service charge fee income and BOLI income decreased from the same period last year, while trust and investment service income and bankcard service income increased modestly. Service charge fee income of $4.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 decreased $204,000, or 4.83%, from service charge fee income of $4.2 million for the same period last year. Trust and investment services income of $2.1 million during the third quarter of 2011 increased $128,000, or 6.64%, from trust and investment services income of $1.9 million during the third quarter of 2010.
Other Operating Expenses
Other operating expenses for the Company include expenses for salaries and benefits, occupancy, equipment, stationary and supplies, professional services, amortization of intangibles, and other expenses. Other operating expenses totaled $106.3 million for the first nine months of 2011. This represents a decrease of $20.4 million, or 16.08% from other operating expenses of $126.7 million for the same period in 2010. For the third quarter of 2011, other operating expenses totaled $32.9 million. This represents a decrease of $16.5 million, or 33.38%, from other operating expenses of $49.3 million for the same period last year. We incurred a $13.0 million prepayment charge on borrowings during the third quarter of 2010 and no such charge was incurred in 2011. We also recorded a reduction in our reserve for unfunded commitments of $1.7 million and $918,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to an increase in our reserve for unfunded commitments of $450,000 and $2.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010. Professional services expenses
52
were up $2.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. This was primarily due to increases in legal expenses associated with our SEC inquiry and litigation matters as well as credit-related legal costs for loan workouts and foreclosures.
At September 30, 2011, we employed 762 full time equivalent employees, compared to 773 full time equivalent employees at September 30, 2010.
For the most part, other operating expenses reflect the direct expenses and related administrative expenses associated with staffing, maintaining, promoting, and operating branch facilities. Our ability to control other operating expenses in relation to asset growth can be measured in terms of other operating expenses as a percentage of average assets. Operating expenses measured as a percentage of average assets was 2.19% and 2.48% for the first nine months of 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Our ability to control other operating expenses in relation to the level of net revenue (net interest income plus other operating income) is measured by the efficiency ratio and indicates the percentage of net revenue that is used to cover expenses. For the first nine months of 2011, the efficiency ratio was 54.27%, compared to a ratio of 62.84% for the same period in 2010. The improved efficiency ratio was primarily due to decrease in provision for credit losses and lower expenses as a result of the prepayment charge on borrowings incurred in the first nine months of 2010 with no similar expense in the same period in 2011 as discussed above. This was partially offset by decrease in net interest income and other operating income, primarily gain on sale of investment securities.
Income Taxes
The Companys effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 was 35.38% and 33.00%, respectively, compared to 27.47% and 29.16% for the same period in 2010. The effective tax rates are below the nominal combined Federal and State tax rates as a result of the tax-preferenced income from certain investments and municipal loans/leases as a percentage of total income for each period. The majority of tax preferenced income is derived from municipal securities.
We have two reportable business segments: Business Financial and Commercial Banking Centers, and Treasury. The results of these two segments are included in the reconciliation between business segment totals and our consolidated total. Our business segments do not include the results of administration units that do not meet the definition of an operating segment.
Business Financial and Commercial Banking Centers
Key measures we use to evaluate the Business Financial and Commercial Banking Centers performance are included in the following table for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010. The table also provides additional significant segment measures useful to understanding the performance of this segment.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, segment profit decreased by $30.2 million, or 22.78%, compared to the same period last year. This was primarily due to the decrease in net interest income of $29.5 million, or 19.16%, due to decreases in loan balances. Average loan balances decreased $191.5 million or 6.72%, from the same period last year.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, segment profits decreased by $19.0 million from the same period last year. The decrease is primarily due to the $38.9 million gain on sale of securities recognized during the first nine months of 2010 offset by a decrease in non-interest expense of $19.2 million as we incurred an $18.7 million prepayment charge on borrowings in 2010. The decrease in net interest income is due to the decrease in average investments of $86.6 million, or 4.29%, and a decrease in yield on investments of 85 basis points from the nine months ended September 30, 2010.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2011, segment profit decreased by $15.6 million from the same period last year. This decrease is primarily due to the $30.1 million gain on sale of securities recognized offset by the $13.0 million prepayment charge on borrowings during the three months ended September 30, 2010.
There are no provisions for credit losses or taxes in the segments as these are accounted for at the corporate level.

The Companys administration and other operating departments reported pre-tax loss of $17.7 million for the first nine months of 2011. This represents a decrease of pre-tax loss of $63.9 million or 78.27%, from a pre-tax loss of $81.6 million for the same period in 2010. The decrease in pre-tax loss is primarily attributed to the decrease in provision for credit losses of $41.4 million and a decrease in the reduction in the FDIC loss sharing asset of $13.7 million, which is included in non-interest income.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2011, the companys administration and other operating departments reported pre-tax loss of $1.4 million. This represents a decrease of $36.2 million or 96.21%, from a pre-tax loss of $37.7 million for the same period in 2010. The decrease in pre-tax loss is primarily attributed to the decrease in provision for credit losses of $25.3 million and an increase in net interest income of $6.5 million.

The weighted-average yield (TE) on the investment portfolio at September 30, 2011 was 3.72% with a weighted-average life of 4.0 years. This compares to a yield of 3.95% at December 31, 2010 with a weighted-average life of 4.6 years and a yield of 3.26% at September 30, 2010 with a weighted-average life of 3.6 years. The weighted average life is the average number of years that each dollar of unpaid principal due remains outstanding. Average life is computed as the weighted-average time to the receipt of all future cash flows, using as the weights the dollar amounts of the principal paydowns.
Approximately 70% of the available-for-sale portfolio represents securities issued by the U.S government or U.S. government-sponsored enterprises, with an implied guarantee payment of principal and interest.
The remaining CMO/REMICs are backed by agency-pooled collateral or whole loan collateral. All non-agency available-for-sale CMO/REMIC issues held are rated investment grade or better by either Standard & Poors or Moodys, as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

The tables above show the Companys investment securities gross unrealized losses and fair value by investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010. The Company has reviewed the individual securities to determine whether a decline in fair value below the amortized cost basis is other-than-temporary. A summary of our analysis of these securities and the unrealized losses is described more fully in Note 2 Investment Securities in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. Economic trends may adversely affect the value of the portfolio of investment securities that we hold.
During the first nine months of 2011, the Company recognized an other-than-temporary impairment on the held-to-maturity investment security. The credit-impairment loss of $546,000 was recognized as an offset to other operating income.
Loans
At September 30, 2011, we reported total loans, net of deferred loan fees, of $3.46 billion. This represents a decrease of $290.0 million, or 7.73%, from total loans, net of deferred loan fees, of $3.75 billion at December 31, 2010. We attribute the decrease to the following:
| $45.3 million in note sales related to our former largest borrower. |
| $84.1 million to the non-covered dairy and livestock portfolio. |
| $87.9 million from working down problem assets acquired from SJB. |
58
| $45.7 million decline in non-covered construction loans. |
| $27.8 million decline in purchased mortgage pool loans. |
The non-covered construction loans and purchased mortgage pools are considered non-core lending niches. Our core lending strategy is focused on commercial & industrial business lending, dairy and livestock lending, agribusiness lending and commercial real estate loans.
We continue to see moderate loan demand in our market areas as a result of the weakness in the state and local economies. Many of our business owner clients are hesitating to invest in new equipment, buildings, or employees until they see stronger signs of economic recovery and stability.
Total loans, net of deferred loan fees, comprise 56.12% of our total earning assets. The following tables present our loan portfolio, excluding held for sale loans, segregated into covered versus non-covered loans, by category as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

Of concern in the current credit and economic environments is our real estate and real estate construction loans. Our real estate loans are comprised of single-family residences, multifamily residences, industrial, office and retail. We strive to have a maximum loan-to-value ratio of 75%. This table breaks down our real estate portfolio, with the exception of construction loans, which are discussed in greater detail below.

In the table above, Single Family-Direct represents those single-family residence loans that we have made directly to our customers. These loans total $45.7 million. In addition, we have purchased pools of reported owner-occupied single-family loans from real estate lenders, Single Family-Mortgage Pools, totaling $142.4 million. These loans were purchased with FICO scores predominantly ranging from 700 to over 800 and original loan-to-value ratios of 60% to 80%. These pools were purchased to diversify our loan portfolio since we make few single-family loans. Due to market conditions, we have not purchased any mortgage pools since August 2007.

Non-performing Assets (Non-Covered)
We had non-covered non-performing assets of $81.2 million at September 30, 2011. Non-performing assets represent 2.55% of total loans and OREO and 1.24% of total assets at September 30, 2011. We had non-performing assets of $162.3 million at December 31, 2010. Non-performing assets include non-accrual loans plus other real estate owned (foreclosed property).

We had loans with a balance of $97.4 million classified as impaired at September 30, 2011. This balance includes the non-performing loans of $65.2 million and loans which were restructured in a troubled debt restructuring with a balance of $55.7 million, of which $23.5 million are non-performing and $32.2 million are performing, as of September 30, 2011. Of the $23.5 million in non-performing TDRs, $1.1 million are not paying in accordance with the modified terms at September 30, 2011 and the remaining $22.4 million have either not demonstrated repayment performance for a sustained period and/or we have not received all necessary documents to determine the borrowers ability to meet all future principal and interest payments under the modified terms. At December 31, 2010, we had impaired loans with a balance of $170.3 million. The decrease in impaired loans of $72.9 million is primarily due to the sale of loans related to our former largest borrowing relationship as well as transfers to OREO. Impaired loans measured 3.07% of total non-covered loans as of September 30, 2011.
Of the total impaired loans, $66.3 million were considered collateral dependent and measured using the fair value of the collateral based on current appraisals (obtained within 1 year). The amount of impaired loans measured using the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loans effective rate were $31.1 million.
At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, impaired loans of $32.2 million and $13.3 million were classified as accruing restructured loans, respectively. $17.1 million of the $18.9 million increase in performing TDRs is due to two commercial real estate loans that emerged out of bankruptcy court and are now paying in accordance with the terms approved by the court. The restructurings were granted in response to borrower financial difficulty, and generally provide for a modification of loan repayment terms. The restructured loans on accrual status represent the only impaired loans accruing interest at each respective date. A performing restructured loan is reasonably assured of repayment and is performing according to the modified terms.
At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, there was $152,000 and zero of related allowance on TDRs, respectively. Total charge-offs on TDRs for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010 were $13.1 million and $44.4 million, respectively.
We have not restructured loans into multiple loans in what is typically referred to as an A/B note structure where normally the A note meets current underwriting standards and the B note is typically immediately charged-off upon restructuring.
As of September 30, 2011, we had $16.0 million in non-covered OREO compared to $5.3 million as of December 31, 2010, an increase of $10.7 million. This was primarily due to the transfer of $13.9 million from non-performing loans during the first nine months of 2011 offset by the sales of existing OREO properties of $2.8 million and write-downs of OREO of $449,000.

We had $65.2 million in non-covered non-performing loans at September 30, 2011, or 2.06% of total non-covered loans. This compares to $157.0 million in non-performing loans at December 31, 2010 and $158.9 million in non-performing loans at September 30, 2010. Six customer relationships make up $31.7 million, or 48.57%, of our non-performing loans at September 30, 2011. Four of these customer relationships are commercial real estate developers and/or owners and the primary collateral for these loans is commercial real estate properties. Two of the customer relationships are in the dairy and livestock industry, and the collateral is primarily the dairy farm property and the dairy livestock. These six customer relationships have had total charge-offs of $9.2 million and have $2.3 million of related allowance at September 30, 2011.
The economic downturn has had an impact on our market area and on our loan portfolio. We continually monitor these conditions in determining our estimates of needed reserves. However, we cannot predict the extent to which the deterioration in general economic conditions, real estate values, increases in general rates of interest, and changes in the financial conditions or business of a borrower may adversely affect a borrowers ability to pay. See Risk Management Credit Risk herein.
Non-Performing Assets-Covered
Loans acquired through the SJB acquisition are accounted for under ASC Topic 310-30, Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality (ASC 310-30). Covered loans accounted
65
for under ASC 310-30 are generally considered accruing and performing loans as the loans accrete interest income over the estimated life of the loan when cash flows are reasonably estimable. Accordingly, acquired impaired loans that are contractually past due are still considered to be accruing and performing loans. If the timing and amount of future cash flows is not reasonably estimable, the loans may be classified as non-performing loans and interest income is not recognized until the timing and amount of future cash flows can be reasonably estimated. As of September 30, 2011, there are no covered loans considered as non-performing as described above. We have twenty properties in covered OREO totaling $14.2 million as of September 30, 2011 compared to seventeen properties totaling $11.3 million at December 31, 2010.
Deposits
The primary source of funds to support earning assets (loans and investments) is the generation of deposits from our customer base. The ability to grow the customer base and subsequently deposits is a crucial element in the performance of the Company.
At September 30, 2011, total deposits were $4.59 billion, representing an increase of $70.3 million, or 1.56%, from total deposits of $4.52 billion at December 31, 2010. The composition of deposits is as follows:

The amount of non-interest-bearing demand deposits in relation to total deposits is an integral element in achieving a low cost of funds. Demand deposits totaled $1.98 billion at September 30, 2011, representing an increase of $275.6 million, or 16.20%, from total demand deposits of $1.70 billion at December 31, 2010. Non-interest-bearing demand deposits represented 43.08% of total deposits as of September 30, 2011 and 37.65% of total deposits as of December 31, 2010.
Savings deposits, which include savings, interest-bearing demand, and money market accounts, totaled $1.77 billion at September 30, 2011, representing a decrease of $39.7 million, or 2.30%, from savings deposits of $1.73 billion at December 31, 2010.
Time deposits totaled $844.9 million at September 30, 2011. This represented a decrease of $245.0 million, or 22.48%, from total time deposits of $1.09 billion at December 31, 2010.
Other Borrowed Funds
To achieve the desired growth in earning assets and to fully utilize our capital, we first pursue non-interest-bearing deposits (the lowest cost of funds to the Company). Next, we pursue interest-bearing deposits and finally we supplement the growth in deposits with borrowed funds. Average borrowed funds, as a percent of average total funding (total deposits plus demand notes plus borrowed funds) was 19.45% for the nine months ending September 30, 2011, as compared to 23.11% for the nine months ending December 31, 2010.

In June 2006, the Company purchased securities totaling $250.0 million. This purchase was funded by a repurchase agreement with J.P. Morgan of $250.0 million, with a double cap embedded in the repurchase agreement. The interest rate on this agreement was fixed at 4.95% and the maturity was September 30, 2011. During the first nine months of 2010, we prepaid this structured repurchase agreement. The transaction resulted in a $13.3 million prepayment charge recorded in other operating expense.
In November 2006, we began a repurchase agreement product with our customers. This product, known as Citizens Sweep Manager, sells our investment securities overnight to our customers under an agreement to repurchase them the next day. These repurchase agreements are with customers who have other banking relationships with us. As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, total customer repurchases were $485.3 million and $542.2 million, respectively, with weighted average interest rates of 0.36% and 0.55%, respectively.
We entered into borrowing agreements with the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB). We had outstanding balances of $548.6 million under these agreements at September 30, 2011 and $548.4 million at December 31, 2010. The weighted average interest rate was 3.71% at both September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010. The FHLB holds certain investment securities and loans as collateral for these borrowings.
The Company has an agreement, known as the Treasury Tax & Loan (TT&L) Note Option Program, with the Federal Reserve Bank and the U.S. Department of Treasury in which federal tax deposits made by depositors can be held until called (withdrawn) by the U.S. Department of Treasury. The maximum amount of accumulated federal tax deposits allowable to be held, as set forth in the agreement, is $15.0 million. On September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 the amounts held by the Bank in the TT&L Note Option Program were $1.9 million, collateralized by securities. Amounts are payable on demand.
Through the acquisition of FCB in June 2007, we acquired $5 million in junior subordinated debt. This debt was redeemed in July, 2011.
At September 30, 2011, borrowed funds totaled $1.04 billion, representing a decrease of $61.7 million, or 5.62%, from total borrowed funds of $1.10 billion at December 31, 2010.

Repurchase agreements represent amounts due to customers.
FHLB borrowings represent the amounts that are due to the Federal Home Loan Bank. These borrowings have fixed maturity dates. Other borrowings represent the amounts of TT&L.
Junior subordinated debentures represent the amounts that are due from the Company to CVB Statutory Trust I, CVB Statutory Trust II & CVB Statutory Trust III. The debentures have the same maturity as the Trust Preferred Securities. CVB Statutory Trust I, which matures in 2033, became callable in whole or in part in December 2008. CVB Statutory Trust II, which matures in 2034, became callable in whole or in part in January 2009. CVB Statutory Trust III, which matures in 2036, will become callable in whole or in part in March 2011. It also represents FCB Capital Trust II which matures in 2033 and became callable in 2008. We have not called any of our debentures as of September 30, 2011.
Deferred compensation primarily represents the amounts that are due to former employees salary continuation agreements as a result of acquisitions and compensation deferred by various members of management Operating leases represent the total minimum lease payments under noncancelable operating leases. Advertising agreements represent the amounts that are due on various agreements that provide advertising benefits to the Company.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
At September 30, 2011, we had commitments to extend credit of approximately $593.4 million and obligations under letters of credit of $64.6 million and available lines of credit totaling $1.87 billion from correspondent banks, FHLB and the Federal Reserve Bank. Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to customers, provided there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Commitments are generally variable rate, and many of these commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon. As such, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. We use the same credit underwriting policies in granting or accepting such commitments or contingent obligations as we do for on-balance-sheet instruments, which consist of evaluating customers creditworthiness individually. The Company has a reserve for undisbursed commitments of $9.6 million as of September 30, 2011 and $10.5 million as of December 31, 2010.
Standby letters of credit written are conditional commitments issued to guarantee the financial performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support private borrowing arrangements. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. When deemed necessary, the Company holds appropriate collateral supporting those commitments.

Liquidity and Cash Flow
Since the primary sources and uses of funds for the Company are deposits and loans, the relationship between gross loans and total deposits provides a useful measure of the Companys liquidity. Typically, the closer the ratio of loans to deposits is to 100%, the more reliant we are on the loan portfolio to provide for short-term liquidity needs. Since repayment of loans tends to be less predictable than the maturity of investments and other liquid resources, the higher the loan to deposit ratio the less liquid are the Companys assets. For the first nine months of 2011, the loan to deposit ratio averaged 78.78%, compared to an average ratio of 87.06% for the same period in 2010. The ratio of loans to deposits and customer repurchases averaged 70.41% for the first nine months of 2011 and 77.30% for the same period in 2010.
CVB Financial Corp. (CVBF) is a company separate and apart from the Bank that must provide for its own liquidity and must service its own obligations. Substantially all of CVBFs revenues are obtained from dividends declared and paid by the Bank. There are statutory and regulatory provisions that could limit the ability of the Bank to pay dividends to CVBF. In addition, our regulators could limit the ability of the Bank or the Company to pay dividends or make other distributions. At September 30, 2011, approximately $99.9 million of the Banks equity was unrestricted and available to be paid as dividends to CVBF. Management of CVBF believes that such restrictions will not have an impact on the ability of CVBF to meet its ongoing cash obligations.
Sources of funds normally include principal payments on loans and investments, other borrowed funds, and growth in deposits. Uses of funds include withdrawal of deposits, interest paid on deposits, increased loan balances, purchases, and other operating expenses.
Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $51.9 million for the first nine months of 2011, compared to $69.0 million for the same period last year. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities is primarily attributed to a decrease in interest and dividends received and an increase in income taxes paid offset by a decrease in interest paid and cash paid to vendors and employees
Net cash provided by investing activities totaled $17.1 million for the first nine months of 2011, compared to net cash provided by investing activities of $445.1 million for the same period in 2010. The cash provided by investing activities was primarily the result of a decrease in loans during the first nine months of 2011, offset by purchases, repayments and maturities of investment securities and proceeds from FDIC shared-loss agreements.
Net cash used by financing activities totaled $30.3 million for the first nine months of 2011, compared to $322.4 million for the same period last year. The cash used by financing activities during the first nine months of 2011 was primarily due to a decrease in time deposits, cash dividends paid on common stock, repayment of FCB subordinated debt, and repurchase of common stock, partially offset by an increase in transaction deposits. The cash used during the first nine months of 2010 was primarily due to increases in deposits offset by repayment of FHLB advances and other borrowings
At September 30, 2011, cash and cash equivalents totaled $442.9 million. This represented a decrease of $196.9 million, or 80.00%, from a total of $296.3 million at September 30, 2010 and an increase of $38.7 million, or 9.56%, from a total of $404.3 million at December 31, 2010.
Capital Resources
Historically, our primary source of capital has been the retention of operating earnings. In order to ensure adequate levels of capital, we conduct an ongoing assessment of projected sources, needs and uses of capital in conjunction with projected increases in assets and the level of risk. As part of this ongoing assessment, the Board of Directors reviews the various components of capital. Based on the Board of Directors analysis of our capital needs (including any capital needs arising out of our financial condition and results of operations or from any acquisitions we may make) and the input of our regulators, we could determine or, our regulators could require us, to raise additional capital.
69
The Bank and the Company are required to meet risk-based capital standards set by their respective regulatory authorities. The risk-based capital standards require the achievement of a minimum ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets of 8.0% (of which at least 4.0% must be Tier 1 capital). In addition, the regulatory authorities require the highest rated institutions to maintain a minimum leverage ratio of 4.0%. To be considered well-capitalized for bank regulatory purposes, the Bank and the Company are required to have a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio equal to or greater than 6%, a total risk-based capital ratio equal to or greater than 10% and a Tier 1 leverage ratio equal to or greater than 5%. At September 30, 2011, the Bank and the Company exceeded the minimum risk-based capital ratios and leverage ratios required to be considered well-capitalized for regulatory purposes.
The Companys equity capital was $699.9 million at September 30, 2011. This represented an increase of $56.0 million, or 8.70%, from equity capital of $643.9 million at December 31, 2010. The Companys 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K (Managements Discussion and Analysis and Note 18 of the accompanying financial statements) describes the regulatory capital requirements of the Company and the Bank.
During the first nine months of 2011, the Board of Directors of the Company declared quarterly common stock cash dividends that totaled $0.255 per share. Dividends are payable at the discretion of the Board of Directors and there can be no assurance that the Board of Directors will continue to pay dividends at the same rate, or at all, in the future. CVBFs ability to pay cash dividends to its shareholders is subject to restrictions under federal and California law, including restrictions imposed by the Federal Reserve Bank and covenants set forth in various agreements we are a party to including covenants set forth in our junior subordinated debentures.
In July 2008, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to 10,000,000 shares of our common stock. During the third quarter of 2011, we repurchased 1,502,503 shares of common stock at the average price of $7.83. As of September 30, 2011, we have 7,897,497 shares of our common stock remaining that are eligible for repurchase.

We have adopted a Risk Management Plan to ensure the proper control and management of all risk factors inherent in the operation of the Company and the Bank. Specifically, credit risk, counterparty risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk, transaction risk, compliance risk, strategic risk, reputation risk, price risk and foreign exchange risk, can all affect the market risk exposure of the Company. These specific risk factors are not mutually exclusive. It is recognized that any product or service offered by us may expose the Bank to one or more of these risks. Our Risk Management Committee and Risk Management Department monitors these risks to minimize exposure to the Company.

Credit Risk
Credit risk is defined as the risk to earnings or capital arising from an obligors failure to meet the terms of any contract or otherwise fail to perform as agreed. Credit risk is found in all activities where success depends on a counter party, issuer, or borrower performance. Credit risk arises through the extension of loans and leases, certain securities, and letters of credit.
Credit risk in the investment portfolio and correspondent bank accounts is addressed through defined limits in the Companys policy statements. In addition, certain securities carry insurance to enhance credit quality of the bond. Limitations on industry concentration, aggregate customer borrowings, geographic boundaries and standards on loan quality also are designed to reduce loan credit risk. Senior Management, Directors Committees, and the Board of Directors are provided with information to appropriately identify, measure, control and monitor the credit risk of the Company.
The general loan policy is updated annually and approved by the Board of Directors. It prescribes underwriting guidelines and procedures for all loan categories in which the Bank participates to establish risk tolerance and parameters that are communicated throughout the Bank to ensure consistent and uniform lending practices. The underwriting guidelines include, among other things, approval limitation and hierarchy, documentation standards, loan-to-value limits, debt coverage ratio, overall credit-worthiness of the borrower, guarantor support, etc. All loan requests considered by the Bank should be for a clearly defined legitimate purpose with a determinable primary source, as well as alternate sources of repayment. All loans must be supported by appropriate documentation including, current financial statements, credit reports, collateral information, guarantor verification, tax returns, title reports, appraisals (where appropriate), and other documents of quality that will support the credit.
The major lending categories are commercial and industrial loans, owner-occupied and non owner-occupied commercial real estate loans, construction loans, dairy and livestock loans, agricultural loans, residential real estate loans, and various consumer loan products. Loans underwritten to borrowers within these diverse categories require underwriting and documentation suited to the unique characteristics and inherent risks involved.
Commercial and industrial loans require credit structures that are tailored to the specific purpose of the business loan, involving a thorough analysis of the borrowers business, cash flow, collateral, industry risks, economic risks, credit, character, and guarantor support. Owner-occupied real estate loans are primarily based upon the capacity and stability of the cash flow generated by the occupying business and the market value of the collateral, among other things. Non owner-occupied real estate is typically underwritten to the income produced by the subject property and many considerations unique to the various types of property (i.e. office, retail, warehouse, shopping center, medical, etc.), as well as, the financial support provided by sponsors in recourse transactions. Construction loans will often depend on the specific characteristics of the project, the market for the specific development, real estate values, and the equity and financial strength of the sponsors. Dairy and livestock loans and agricultural loans are largely predicated on the revenue cycles and demand for milk and crops, commodity prices, collateral values of herd, feed, and income-producing diaries or croplands, and the financial support of the guarantors. Underwriting of residential real estate and consumer loans are generally driven by personal income and debt service capacity, credit history and scores, and collateral values.
Implicit in lending activities is the risk that losses will occur and that the amount of such losses will vary over time. Consequently, we maintain an allowance for credit losses by charging a provision for credit losses to earnings. Loans determined to be losses are charged against the allowance for credit losses. Our allowance for credit losses is maintained at a level considered by us to be appropriate to provide for estimated probable losses inherent in the existing portfolio.
71
The allowance for credit losses is based upon estimates of probable losses inherent in the loan and lease portfolio. The nature of the process by which we determine the appropriate allowance for credit losses requires the exercise of considerable judgment. The amount actually observed in respect of these losses can vary significantly from the estimated amounts. We employ a systematic methodology that is intended to reduce the differences between estimated and actual losses.
Central to our credit risk management is its loan risk rating system. The originating credit officer assigns borrowers an initial risk rating, which is reviewed and possibly changed by Credit Management. The risk rating is based primarily on a thorough analysis of each borrowers financial capacity in conjunction with industry and economic trends. Credit approvals are made based upon the amount of inherent credit risk specific to the transaction and are reviewed for appropriateness by senior line and Credit Management personnel. Credits are monitored by line and Credit Management personnel for deterioration in a borrowers financial condition, which would impact the ability of the borrower to perform under the contract. Risk ratings are adjusted as necessary.
Loans are risk rated into the following categories: Pass, Pass Watch List, Special Mention, Substandard, Doubtful, and Loss. Each of these groups is assessed and appropriate amounts used in determining the adequacy of our allowance for losses. The Impaired and Doubtful loans are analyzed on an individual basis for allowance amounts. The other categories have formula used to determine the needed allowance amount.
The Company obtains a quarterly independent credit review by engaging an outside party to review our loans. The primary purpose of this review is to evaluate our existing loan ratings and provide an assessment as to the effectiveness of our allowance process.
Our methodology for assessing the appropriateness of the allowance is conducted on a regular basis and considers all loans. The systematic methodology consists of two major phases.
In the first phase, individual loans are reviewed to identify loans for impairment. A loan is generally considered impaired when principal and interest are deemed uncollectible in accordance with the original contractual terms of the loan. A loan for which there is an insignificant delay or amount of payments is not considered an impaired loan. Impairment is measured as either the expected future cash flows discounted at each loans effective interest rate, the fair value of the loans collateral if the loan is collateral dependent, or an observable market price of the loan (if one exists). Upon measuring the impairment, we will ensure an appropriate level of allowance is present or established.
Based on the risk rating system, specific allowances are established in cases where we have identified significant conditions or circumstances related to a credit that we believe indicates the probability that a loss has been incurred. We perform a detailed analysis of these loans, including, but not limited to, cash flows, appraisals of the collateral, conditions of the marketplace for liquidating the collateral and assessment of the guarantors. We then determine the inherent loss potential and allocate a portion of the allowance for losses as a specific allowance for each of these credits.
The second phase is conducted by evaluating or segmenting the remainder of the loan portfolio into groups or pools of loans with similar characteristics in accordance with ASC No. 450-10, Contingencies. In this second phase, groups or pools of homogeneous loans are reviewed to determine a portfolio formula allowance. In the case of the portfolio formula allowance, homogeneous portfolios, such as small business loans, consumer loans, agricultural loans, and real estate loans, are aggregated or pooled in determining the appropriate allowance. The risk assessment process in this case emphasizes trends in the different portfolios for delinquency, loss, and other-behavioral characteristics of the subject portfolios.
72
Included in this second phase is our considerations of all known relevant internal and external factors that may affect a loans collectability. This includes our estimates of the amounts necessary for concentrations, economic uncertainties, the volatility of the market value of collateral, and other relevant factors. We perform an evaluation of various conditions, the effects of which are not directly measured in the determination of the formula and specific allowances. The evaluation of the inherent loss with respect to these conditions is subject to a higher degree of uncertainty because they are not identified with specific problem credits or portfolio segments. The conditions evaluated include, but are not limited to the following conditions that existed as of the balance sheet date:
- | then-existing general economic and business conditions affecting the key lending areas of the Company, |
- | then-existing economic and business conditions of areas outside the lending areas, such as other sections of the United States, |
- | credit quality trends (including trends in non-performing loans expected to result from existing conditions), |
- | collateral values, |
- | loan volumes and concentrations, |
- | specific industry conditions within portfolio segments, |
- | recent loss experience in particular segments of the portfolio, |
- | duration of the current business cycle, |
- | bank regulatory examination results and |
- | findings of the Companys external credit examiners. |
We review these conditions in discussion with our senior credit officers. To the extent that any of these conditions is evidenced by a specifically identifiable problem credit or portfolio segment as of the evaluation date, our estimate of the effect of such condition may be reflected as a specific allowance applicable to such credit or portfolio segment. Where any of these conditions is not evidenced by a specifically identifiable problem credit or portfolio segment as of the evaluation date, our evaluation of the inherent loss related to such condition is reflected in the second major element of the allowance. Although we have allocated a portion of the allowance to specific loan categories, the adequacy of the allowance must be considered in its entirety.

While we believe that the allowance at September 30, 2011, was appropriate to absorb losses from any known or inherent risks in the portfolio, no assurance can be given that economic conditions, conditions of our borrowers, or natural disasters which adversely affect the Companys service areas or other circumstances or conditions, including those identified above, will not be reflected in increased provisions or credit losses in the future.

ITEM 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK |
Market Risk
In the normal course of our business activities, we are exposed to market risks, including price and liquidity risk. Market risk is the potential of loss from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as interest rates (interest rate risk). Liquidity risk arises from the possibility that we may not be able to satisfy current or future commitments or that we may be more reliant on alternative funding sources such as long-term debt. Financial products that expose us to market risk include securities, loans, deposits, debts and derivative financial instruments.
Counterparty Risk
Recent developments in the financial markets have placed an increased awareness of Counterparty Risks. These risks occur when a financial institution has an indebtedness or potential for indebtedness to another financial institution. We have assessed our Counterparty Risk at the end of the third quarter with the following results:
| We do not have any investments in the preferred stock of any other company. |
| We do not have in our investment portfolio any trust preferred securities of any other company. |
| Most of our investments securities are either municipal securities or securities backed by mortgages, FNMA, FHLMC or FHLB. |
| All of our commercial line insurance policies are with companies with the highest AM Best ratings of AXV or above, except for our travel/accident carrier who is rated AVIII. |
| We have no significant Counterparty exposure related to derivatives such as interest rate swaps with a major financial institution. |
| We have no significant exposure to our Cash Surrender Value of Life insurance since 97.5% of the Cash Surrender Value balance is with insurance companies that carry an AM Best rating of A- or greater and only one company has a B+ rating |
| We have $423.0 million in Fed Funds lines of credit with other banks. All of these banks are major U.S. banks, each with over $20.0 billion in assets. We rely on these funds for overnight borrowings. We currently have no outstanding Fed Funds balance. |
Interest Rate Risk
During periods of changing interest rates, the ability to reprice interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities can influence net interest income, the net interest margin, and consequently, our earnings. Interest rate risk is managed by attempting to control the spread between rates earned on interest-earning assets and the rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities within the constraints imposed by market competition in our service area. Short-term repricing risk is minimized by controlling the level of floating rate loans and maintaining a downward sloping ladder of bond payments and maturities. Basis risk is managed by the timing and magnitude of changes to interest-bearing deposit rates. Yield curve risk is reduced by keeping the duration of the loan and bond portfolios balanced to attempt to minimize the risks of rising or falling yields. Options risk in the bond portfolio is monitored monthly and actions are recommended when appropriate.
We monitor the interest rate sensitivity risk to earnings from potential changes in interest rates using various methods, including a maturity/repricing gap analysis. This analysis measures, at specific time intervals, the differences between earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities for which repricing opportunities will occur. A positive difference, or gap, indicates that earning assets will reprice faster than interest-bearing liabilities. This will generally produce a greater net interest margin during periods of rising interest rates, and a lower net interest margin during periods of declining interest rates.
75
Conversely, a negative gap indicates that interest-bearing liabilities will reprice faster than earning assets. This will generally produce a lower net interest margin during periods of rising interest rates and a greater net interest margin during periods of decreasing interest rates.
The interest rates paid on deposit accounts do not always move in unison with the rates charged on loans. In addition, the magnitude of changes in the rates charged on loans is not always proportionate to the magnitude of changes in the rates paid for deposits. Consequently, changes in interest rates do not necessarily result in an increase or decrease in the net interest margin solely as a result of the differences between repricing opportunities of earning assets or interest-bearing liabilities. In general, whether we report a positive gap in the short-term period or negative gap in the long-term period does not necessarily indicate that, if interest rates decreased, net interest income would increase, or if interest rates increased, net interest income would decrease.
Approximately $1.50 billion, or 68%, of the total investment portfolio at September 30, 2011 consisted of securities backed by mortgages. The final maturity of these securities can be affected by the speed at which the underlying mortgages repay. Mortgages tend to repay faster as interest rates fall, and slower as interest rates rise. As a result, we may be subject to a prepayment risk resulting from greater funds available for reinvestment at a time when available yields are lower. Conversely, we may be subject to extension risk resulting from lesser amounts available for reinvestment at a time when available yields are higher. Prepayment risk includes the risk associated with the payment of an investments principal faster than originally intended. Extension risk is the risk associated with the payment of an investments principal over a longer time period than originally anticipated. In addition, there can be greater risk of price volatility for mortgage-backed securities as a result of anticipated prepayment or extension risk.
We also utilize the results of a dynamic simulation model to quantify the estimated exposure of net interest income to sustained interest rate changes. The sensitivity of our net interest income is measured over a rolling two-year horizon.
The Balance Sheet Management Committee (BSMC) meets quarterly to review the results of the simulation model. The BSMC proactively focuses on strategy development and implementation based on a clear understanding of the Companys risk and return profile. The quarterly BSMC meeting was facilitated by the Companys outside consultant. In addition, periodically the BSMC reviews the analysis prepared and presented by one of the approved broker-dealers that specifically measure the interest rate risk inherent in our investment portfolio.
The simulation model estimates the impact of changing interest rates on the interest income from all interest-earning assets and the interest expense paid on all interest-bearing liabilities reflected on the Companys balance sheet. This sensitivity analysis is compared to policy limits, which specify a maximum tolerance level for net interest income exposure over a one-year horizon assuming no balance sheet growth, given a 200 basis point upward and 100 basis point downward shift in interest rates. A parallel and pro rata shift in rates over a 12-month period is assumed.
The following depicts the Companys net interest income sensitivity analysis as of September 30, 2011:
Simulated Rate Changes |
Estimated Net Interest Income Sensitivity |
|||
+ 200 basis points |
(1.80 | %) | ||
- 100 basis points |
0.55 | % |
76
The Company is currently moderately liability sensitive. The estimated sensitivity does not necessarily represent our forecast and the results may not be indicative of actual changes to our net interest income. These estimates are based upon a number of assumptions including: the nature and timing of interest rate levels including yield curve shape, prepayments on loans and securities, pricing strategies on loans and deposits, and replacement of asset and liability cash flows. While the assumptions used are based on current economic and local market conditions, there is no assurance as to the predictive nature of these conditions including how customer preferences or competitor influences might change.
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk to earnings or capital resulting from our inability to meet our obligations when they come due without incurring unacceptable losses. It includes the ability to manage unplanned decreases or changes in funding sources and to recognize or address changes in market conditions that affect our ability to liquidate assets quickly and with minimum loss of value. Factors considered in liquidity risk management are stability of the deposit base; marketability, maturity, pledging of investments; the demand for credit; and the ability to enter the public markets to sell our stock.
In general, liquidity risk is managed daily by controlling the level of fed funds and the use of funds provided by the cash flow from the investment portfolio. To meet unexpected demands, lines of credit are maintained with correspondent banks, the Federal Home Loan Bank and the Federal Reserve Bank. The sale of bonds maturing in the near future can also serve as a contingent source of funds. Increases in deposit rates are considered a last resort as a means of raising funds to increase liquidity.
Transaction Risk
Transaction risk is the risk to earnings or capital arising from problems in service or product delivery. This risk is significant within any bank and is interconnected with other risk categories in most activities throughout the Company. Transaction risk is a function of internal controls, information systems, associate integrity, and operating processes. It arises daily throughout the Company as transactions are processed. It pervades all divisions, departments and branches and is inherent in all products and services we offer.
In general, transaction risk is defined as high, medium or low by the internal auditors during the audit process. The audit plan ensures that high-risk areas are reviewed at least annually. We utilize third party audit firms to supplement our internal audit services.
The key to monitoring transaction risk is in the design, documentation and implementation of well-defined procedures. All transaction related procedures include steps to report events that might increase transaction risk. Dual controls are also a form of monitoring.
Compliance Risk
Compliance risk is the risk to earnings or capital arising from violations of, or non-conformance with, laws, rules, regulations, prescribed practices, or ethical standards. Compliance risk also arises in situations where the laws or rules governing certain products or activities of the Banks customers may be ambiguous or untested. Compliance risk exposes us to fines, civil money penalties, payment of damages, and the voiding of contracts. Compliance risk can also lead to a diminished reputation, reduced business value, limited business opportunities, lessened expansion potential, and lack of contract enforceability.
There is no single or primary source of compliance risk. It is inherent in every activity. Frequently, it blends into operational risk and transaction risk. A portion of this risk is sometimes referred to as legal risk. This is not limited solely to risk from failure to comply with consumer protection laws; it encompasses all laws, as well as prudent ethical standards and contractual obligations. It also includes the exposure to litigation from all aspects of banking, traditional and non-traditional.
77
Our Risk Management Policy and Program and the Code of Ethical Conduct are the cornerstone for controlling compliance risk. An integral part of controlling this risk is the proper training of associates. The Chief Risk Officer is responsible for developing and executing a comprehensive compliance training program. The Chief Risk Officer will ensure that each associate is provided with adequate training relevant to their job function to ensure compliant with banking laws and regulations.
Our Risk Management Policy and Program includes an audit program aimed at identifying problems and ensuring that problems are corrected. The audit program includes two levels of review. One is in-depth audits performed by our internal audit department under the direction of the Chief Risk Officer and supplemented by independent external firms, and the other is periodic monitoring performed by the Risk Management Division.
The Company utilizes an independent external firm to conduct compliance audits as a means of identifying weaknesses in the compliance program itself. The independent external firms audit plan includes a periodic review of each branch and department.
The branch or department that is the subject of an audit is required to respond to the audit and correct any violations noted. The Chief Risk Officer will review audit findings and the response provided by the branch or department to identify areas which pose a significant compliance risk.
The Risk Management Division conducts periodic monitoring of our compliance efforts with a special focus on those areas that expose us to compliance risk. The purpose of the periodic monitoring is to ensure that our associates are adhering to established policies and procedures. The Chief Risk Officer will notify the appropriate department head and the Management Compliance Committee, the Audit Committee and the Risk Management Committee of any exceptions noted. The branch or department that is the subject of the review will be required to respond to the findings and correct any noted exceptions.
We recognize that customer complaints can often identify weaknesses in our compliance program which could expose us to risk. Therefore, all complaints are given prompt attention. Our Risk Management Policy and Program includes provisions on how customer complaints are to be addressed. The Chief Risk Officer reviews all formal complaints to determine if a significant compliance risk exists and communicates those findings to the Risk Management Committee.
Strategic Risk
Strategic risk is the risk to earnings or capital arising from adverse decisions or improper implementation of strategic decisions. This risk is a function of the compatibility between an organizations goals, the resources deployed against those goals and the quality of implementation.
Strategic risks are identified as part of the strategic planning process. Offsite strategic planning sessions are held annually. The strategic review consists of an economic assessment, competitive analysis, industry outlook and legislative and regulatory review.
A primary measurement of strategic risk is peer group analysis. Key performance ratios are compared to three separate peer groups to identify any sign of weakness and potential opportunities. The peer group consists of:
1. | All banks of comparable size |
2. | High performing banks |
3. | A list of specific banks |
78
Another measure is the comparison of the actual results of previous strategic initiatives against the expected results established prior to implementation of each strategy.
The corporate strategic plan is formally presented to all branch managers and department managers at an annual leadership conference as well as the Board of Directors.
Reputation Risk
Reputation risk is the risk to capital and earnings arising from negative public opinion. This affects our ability to establish new relationships or services, or continue servicing existing relationships. It can expose us to litigation and, in some instances, financial loss.
Price and Foreign Exchange Risk
Price risk arises from changes in market factors that affect the value of traded instruments. Foreign exchange risk is the risk to earnings or capital arising from movements in foreign exchange rates.
Our current exposure to price risk is nominal. We do not have trading accounts. Consequently, the level of price risk within the investment portfolio is primarily driven by the underlying credit quality of the issuer and the interest rate environment, and is limited to the need to sell securities for reasons other than investment purposes. The section of this policy pertaining to liquidity risk addresses this risk.
We maintain deposit accounts with various foreign banks. Our Interbank Liability Policy limits the balance in any of these accounts to an amount that does not present a significant risk to our earnings from changes in the value of foreign currencies.
Our asset liability model calculates the market value of the Companys equity. In addition, management prepares on a monthly basis a Capital Volatility report that compares changes in the market value of the investment portfolio.
The Balance Sheet Management Policy requires the submission of a Fair Value Matrix Report to the Balance Sheet Management Committee on a quarterly basis. The report calculates the economic value of equity under different interest rate scenarios, revealing the level or price risk of the Companys interest sensitive asset and liability portfolios.
ITEM 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures under the supervision and with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer and other senior management of the Company. Based on the foregoing, the Companys Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.
During our most recent fiscal quarter, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
79
ITEM 1. | LEGAL PROCEEDINGS |
Certain lawsuits and claims arising in the ordinary course of business have been filed or are pending against us or our affiliates. Where appropriate, as we determine, we establish reserves in accordance with FASB guidance over contingencies (ASC 450). The outcome of litigation and other legal and regulatory matters is inherently uncertain, however, and it is possible that one or more of the legal or regulatory matters currently pending or threatened could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, consolidated financial position, and/or results of operations. As of September 30, 2011, the Company does not have any significant litigation reserves.
In addition, the Company is involved in the following significant legal actions and complaints.
On July 26, 2010, we received a subpoena from the Los Angeles office of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). We are fully cooperating with the SEC in its investigation, including its follow-up requests. We cannot predict the timing or outcome of the investigation.
On August 23, 2010, a purported shareholder class action complaint was filed against the Company in an action captioned Lloyd v. CVB Financial Corp., et al., Case No. CV 10-06256-MMM, in the United States District Court for the Central District of California. Along with the Company, Christopher D. Myers (President and Chief Executive Officer) and Edward J. Biebrich Jr. (our former Chief Financial Officer) were also named as defendants. On September 14, 2010, a second purported shareholder class action complaint was filed against the Company in an action originally captioned Englund v. CVB Financial Corp., et al., Case No. CV 10-06815-RGK, in the United States District Court for the Central District of California. The Englund complaint named the same defendants as the Lloyd complaint and made allegations substantially similar to those included in the Lloyd complaint.
On January 21, 2011, the Court consolidated the two actions for all purposes under the Lloyd action now captioned as Case No. CV 10-06256-MMM (PJWx). That same day, the Court also appointed the Jacksonville Police and Fire Pension Fund (the Jacksonville Fund) as lead plaintiff and approved the Jacksonville Funds selection of lead counsel.
On March 7, 2011, the Jacksonville Fund filed a consolidated complaint naming the same defendants and alleging violations by all defendants of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder and violations by the individual defendants of Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act. Specifically, the complaint alleges that defendants misrepresented and failed to disclose conditions adversely affecting the Company throughout the purported class period, which is alleged to be between October 21, 2009 and August 9, 2010. The complaint seeks compensatory damages and other relief in favor of the purported class. On May 13, 2011, defendants filed a motion to dismiss the consolidated complaint. Following the filing by each side of supplemental motions and memoranda, the District Court conducted a hearing on August 29, 2011, and the parties are awaiting the judges ruling on the motion to dismiss.
On February 28, 2011, a purported shareholder derivative complaint was filed in an action captioned Sanderson v. Borba, et al., Case No. CIVRS1102119, in California State Superior Court in San Bernardino County. The complaint names as defendants the members of our board of directors and also refers to unnamed defendants allegedly responsible for the conduct alleged. The Company is included as a nominal defendant. The complaint alleges breaches of fiduciary duties, abuse of control, gross mismanagement and corporate waste. Specifically, the complaint alleges, among other things, that defendants engaged in accounting manipulations in order to falsely portray the Companys financial results in connection with its commercial real estate portfolio. Plaintiff seeks compensatory and exemplary damages to be paid by the defendants and awarded to the Company, as well as other relief. On
80
June 20, 2011, defendants filed a demurrer requesting dismissal of the derivative complaint. Following the filing by each side of additional motions, the parties filed a notice on September 30, 2011 to postpone the Courts hearing on the defendants demurrer until January 12, 2012.
Because we are in the early stages of these proceedings, we cannot predict any range of loss or even if any loss is probable related to the actions described above.
ITEM 1A. | RISK FACTORS |
Except for the following two paragraphs, there were no material changes to the risk factors as previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. The materiality of any risks and uncertainties identified in our Forward Looking Statements contained in this report together with those previously disclosed in the Form 10-K and any subsequent Form 10-Q or those that are presently unforeseen could result in significant adverse effects on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. See Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations General in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
From time to time, global or national financial events or developments could result in economic uncertainty, cause volatility in global stock markets, and/or have a significant impact on economic conditions, including the credit risk and interest rate risk environments, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations and ability to make distributions to our shareholders.
Examples of recent global and national events and developments that could have one or more of the impacts or effects described above may include Standard & Poors recent decision to downgrade the U.S. Governments credit rating (and the possibility of similar actions by other statistical rating agencies), and uncertainty and possible economic turmoil resulting from concerns about government debt levels, currency values and the risk of economic contraction in Europe. These events could create global or national financial dislocation, and cause the interest rates on our borrowings and our cost of capital to fluctuate significantly. These adverse consequences could extend to the borrowers of the loans that we own and originate and, as a result, could materially and adversely affect returns on our investments, the ability of our borrowers to continue to pay their debt service or refinance and repay their loans and other obligations as they become due and our ability to continue to originate assets on favorable terms. Any such adverse consequences could also result in significant volatility in global stock markets, which could cause the market price of our common stock to decrease. In addition, there may be other events and developments, similar in consequence or concern, that we cannot currently predict and whose current or future impact or effect on the Company and the Bank cannot be precisely quantified.
We are subject to cybersecurity risks and may incur increasing costs in an effort to minimize those risks and to respond to cyber incidents. We are responsible for protecting customers proprietary information as well as their accounts with us. We have security measures and processes in place to defend against these cybersecurity risks but these cyber attaches are rapidly evolving and we may not be able to anticipate or prevent all such attacks. Any compromise of our security could result in a violation of privacy or other laws, significant legal and financial exposure, damage to our reputation, and a loss of confidence in our security measures, which could harm our business.
81
ITEM 2. | UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS |
Our Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase of up to 10,000,000 shares of our common stock. We authorized this repurchase program on July 16, 2008. There is no expiration date for our current stock repurchase program. During the third quarter of 2011, we repurchased 1,502,503 shares of common stock at the average price of $7.83. As of September 30, 2011, we have 7,897,497 shares of our common stock available for future repurchase under the Plan.
