NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1: Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Bank of Marin Bancorp (“Bancorp”), a bank holding company, and its wholly-owned bank subsidiary, Bank of Marin (the “Bank”), a California state-chartered commercial bank. References to “we,” “our,” “us” mean the holding company and the Bank that are consolidated for financial reporting purposes. The accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. Although we believe that the disclosures are adequate and the information presented is not misleading, we suggest that these interim financial statements be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements and the notes thereto included in our
2015
Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of Management, the unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position, the results of operations, changes in comprehensive income, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the periods presented. All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated. The results of these interim periods may not be indicative of the results for the full year or for any other period. We have evaluated subsequent events through the date of filing with the SEC and have determined that there are no subsequent events that require additional recognition or disclosure.
The NorCal Community Bancorp Trusts I and II, respectively (the "Trusts") were formed for the sole purpose of issuing trust preferred securities. Bancorp is not considered the primary beneficiary of the Trusts (variable interest entities), therefore the Trusts are not consolidated in our consolidated financial statements, but rather the subordinated debentures are shown as a liability on our consolidated statements of condition (See Note 6, Borrowings). Bancorp's investment in the securities of the Trusts is accounted for under the equity method and is included in
interest receivable and other assets
on the consolidated statements of condition.
The following table shows: 1) weighted average basic shares, 2) potentially dilutive weighted average common shares related to stock options, unvested restricted stock awards and stock warrant, and 3) weighted average diluted shares. Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) are calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period, excluding unvested restricted stock awards. Diluted EPS are calculated using the weighted average number of potentially dilutive common shares, which is based on average market prices during the three months of the reporting period, under the treasury stock method. The number of potentially dilutive common shares included in year-to-date diluted EPS is a year-to-date weighted average of potentially dilutive common shares included in each quarterly diluted EPS computation. We have two forms of our outstanding common stock: common stock and unvested restricted stock awards. Holders of unvested restricted stock awards receive non-forfeitable dividends at the same rate as common shareholders and they both share equally in undistributed earnings. Therefore, under the two-class method, the difference in EPS is not significant for these participating securities.

Note 2: Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09,
Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).
The ASU is a converged standard involving FASB and International Financial Reporting Standards that provides a single comprehensive revenue recognition model for all contracts with customers across transactions and industries. The core principal of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount and at a time that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Subsequent updates related to
Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)
are as follows:
•
August 2015 ASU No. 2015-14 -
Deferral of the Effective Date
, institutes a one-year deferral of the effective date of this amendment to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early application is permitted only as of annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period.
•
March 2016 ASU No. 2016-08
- Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net),
clarifies the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations and on the use of indicators that assist an entity in determining whether it controls a specified good or service before it is transferred to the customer.
•
April 2016 ASU No. 2016-10
- Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing,
provides guidance in determining performance obligations in a contract with a customer and clarifies whether a promise to grant a license provides a right to access or the right to use intellectual property.
•
May 2016 ASU No. 2016-12 -
Narrow Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients
, gives further guidance on assessing collectability, presentation of sales taxes, noncash consideration, and completed contracts and contract modifications at transition.
We are currently evaluating the provisions of these updates and will be monitoring developments and additional guidance to determine the potential impact the new standards will have on our financial condition and results of operations.
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01,
Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
. The amendments in this ASU make improvements to GAAP related to financial instruments that include the following as applicable to us.
•
Equity investments, except for those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee, are required to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. However, an entity may choose to measure equity investments that do not have readily determinable fair values at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer.
•
Simplifies the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values by requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment - if impairment exists, this requires measuring the investment at fair value.
•
Eliminates the requirement for public companies to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is currently required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet.
•
Public companies will be required to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes.
•
Requires separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset on the balance sheet or the accompanying notes to the financial statements.
•
The reporting entity should evaluate the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to available-for-sale securities in combination with the entity's other deferred tax assets.
ASU 2016-01 is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. This ASU will impact our financial statement disclosures, however, we do not expect it to have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.
Page-8
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02,
Leases (Topic 842)
. This ASU was issued to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities, including leases classified as operating leases under previous GAAP, on the balance sheet and requiring additional disclosures of key information about leasing arrangements. This ASU applies to leasing arrangements exceeding a twelve month term. ASU 2016-02 is effective for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and requires a modified retrospective method upon adoption. Early application of the amendments is permitted. We are currently evaluating the provisions of this ASU and will be monitoring developments and additional guidance to determine the timing of our adoption and the potential outcome the amendments will have on our financial condition and results of operations.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-05,
Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Effect of Derivative Contract Novations on Existing Hedge Accounting Relationships
. A contract novation refers to replacing one of the parties to a derivative instrument with a new party. This ASU clarifies that a change in counterparty in a derivative instrument does not, in and of itself, require dedesignation of that hedging relationship and therefore discontinue the application of hedge accounting. ASU 2016-05 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted in any interim or annual period. We do not expect this ASU to have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09,
Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting
. This ASU identifies areas for simplification involving several aspects of accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, forfeiture accounting, and classifications on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted in any interim or annual period. We are currently evaluating the the provisions of this ASU and will be monitoring developments and additional guidance to determine the potential outcome the amendments will have on our financial condition and results of operations.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13,
Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments
. This ASU replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses, requiring a financial asset measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. Under the new guidance, an entity recognizes as an allowance its estimate of expected credit losses, which is likely to result in more timely recognition of such losses. In addition, the accounting for purchased credit impaired financial assets will make the allowance for credit losses more comparable between originated assets and purchased financial assets, as well as reduce complexity with the accounting for interest income. ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently evaluating the provisions of this ASU and will be monitoring developments and additional guidance to determine the timing of our adoption and the potential outcome the amendments will have on our financial condition and results of operations.
Note 3: Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities
Fair Value Hierarchy and Fair Value Measurement
We group our assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value into three levels within the fair value hierarchy, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. These levels are:
Level 1: Valuations are based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Valuations are based on quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active and model-based valuations for which all significant assumptions are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3: Valuations are based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Values are determined using pricing models and discounted cash flow models and may include significant Management judgment and estimation.
Page-9
Transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy are recognized through our monthly and/or quarterly valuation process in the reporting period during which the event or circumstances that caused the transfer occurred.
The following table summarizes our assets and liabilities that were required to be recorded at fair value on a recurring basis.

Securities available-for-sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. When available, quoted market prices (Level 1) are used to determine the fair value of securities available-for-sale. If quoted market prices are not available, we obtain pricing information from a reputable third-party service provider, who may utilize valuation techniques that use current market-based or independently sourced parameters, such as bid/ask prices, dealer-quoted prices, interest rates, benchmark yield curves, prepayment speeds, probability of default, loss severity and credit spreads (Level 2). Level 2 securities include obligations of state and political subdivisions, U.S. agencies or government sponsored agencies' debt securities, mortgage-backed securities, government agency-issued and privately-issued collateralized mortgage obligations. As of
June 30, 2016
and
December 31, 2015
, there were
no
securities that were considered Level 1 securities. As of
June 30, 2016
, we had
one
available-for-sale security that was considered a Level 3 security. The security is a U.S. government agency obligation collateralized by a small number of business equipment loans guaranteed by the Small Business Administration ("SBA") program. This security is not actively traded and is owned only by a few investors. The significant unobservable data that is reflected in the fair value measurement include dealer quotes, projected prepayment speeds/average life and credit information, among other things. The decrease in fair value during 2016 was due to the payoff of one of the larger loans in the pool collateralizing the security. The unrealized gain on this SBA-guaranteed security decreased by
$2 thousand
in the same period recorded as part of other comprehensive income.
Securities held-to-maturity may be written down to fair value (determined using the same techniques discussed above for securities available-for-sale) as a result of an other-than-temporary impairment, if any.
On a recurring basis, derivative financial instruments are recorded at fair value, which is based on the income approach using observable Level 2 market inputs, reflecting market expectations of future interest rates as of the measurement date. Standard valuation techniques are used to calculate the present value of the future expected cash flows assuming an orderly transaction. Valuation adjustments may be made to reflect both our own credit risk and the counterparties’ credit risk in determining the fair value of the derivatives. Level 2 inputs for the valuations are limited to observable
Page-10
market prices for London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") and Overnight Index Swap ("OIS") rates (for the very short term), quoted prices for LIBOR futures contracts, observable market prices for LIBOR and OIS swap rates, and one-month and three-month LIBOR basis spreads at commonly quoted intervals. Mid-market pricing of the inputs is used as a practical expedient in the fair value measurements. We project spot rates at reset days specified by each swap contract to determine future cash flows, then discount to present value using either LIBOR or OIS curves depending on whether the swap positions are fully collateralized as of the measurement date. When the value of any collateral placed with counterparties is less than the interest rate derivative liability, a credit valuation adjustment ("CVA") is applied to reflect the credit risk we pose to counterparties. We have used the spread between the Standard & Poor's BBB rated U.S. Bank Composite rate and LIBOR for the closest maturity term corresponding to the duration of the swaps to derive the CVA. A similar credit risk adjustment, correlated to the credit standing of the counterparty, is made when collateral posted by the counterparty does not fully cover their liability to Bank of Marin. For further discussion on our methodology in valuing our derivative financial instruments, refer to Note 9.
Certain financial assets may be measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. These assets are subject to fair value adjustments that result from the application of the lower of cost or fair value accounting or write-downs of individual assets, such as impaired loans and other real estate owned ("OREO").
The following table presents the carrying value of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis and that were held in the consolidated statements of condition at each respective period end, by level within the fair value hierarchy as of
June 30, 2016
and
December 31, 2015

Represents collateral-dependent loan principal balances that had been generally written down to the values of the underlying collateral and reflected net of specific valuation allowances. At June 30, 2016, the
$171 thousand
carrying value of a consumer loan was net of a
$5 thousand
specific valuation allowance. The carrying value of loans fully charged-off, which includes unsecured lines of credit, overdrafts and all other loans, is zero.
When a loan is identified as impaired, it is reported at the lower of cost or fair value, measured based on the loan's observable market price (Level 1) or the current net realizable value of the underlying collateral securing the loan, if the loan is collateral dependent (Level 3). Net realizable value of the underlying collateral is the fair value of the collateral less estimated selling costs and any prior liens. Appraisals, recent comparable sales, offers and listing prices are factored in when valuing the collateral. We review and verify the qualifications and licenses of the certified general appraisers used for appraising commercial properties or certified residential appraisers for residential properties. Real estate appraisals may utilize a combination of approaches including replacement cost, sales comparison and the income approach. Comparable sales and income data are analyzed by the appraisers and adjusted to reflect differences between them and the subject property such as property characteristics, leasing status and physical condition. When appraisals are received, Management reviews the underlying assumptions and methodology utilized, as well as the overall resulting value in conjunction with independent data sources such as recent market data and industry-wide statistics. We generally use a
6%
discount for selling costs which is applied to all properties, regardless of size. Appraised values may be adjusted to reflect changes in market conditions that have occurred subsequent to the appraisal date, or for revised estimates regarding the timing or cost of the property sale. These adjustments are based on qualitative judgments made by Management on a case-by-case basis and are generally unobservable valuation inputs as they are specific to the underlying collateral. There have been no significant changes in the valuation techniques during 2016.
Page-11
OREO represents collateral acquired through foreclosure and is initially recorded at fair value as established by a current appraisal, adjusted for disposition costs. Subsequently, OREO is measured at lower of cost or fair value. OREO values are reviewed on an ongoing basis and any subsequent decline in fair value is recorded as a foreclosed asset expense in the current period. The value of OREO is determined based on independent appraisals, similar to the process used for impaired loans, discussed above, and is classified as Level 3. All OREO resulted from an acquisition. Decreases in the estimated fair value of OREO totaled
$13 thousand
and
$40 thousand
during the first six months of 2016 and 2015, respectively.
Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The table below is a summary of fair value estimates for financial instruments as of
June 30, 2016
and
December 31, 2015
, excluding financial instruments recorded at fair value on a recurring basis (summarized in the first table in this note). The carrying amounts in the following table are recorded in the consolidated statements of condition under the indicated captions. We have excluded non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities defined by the Codification (ASC 820-10-15-1A), such as Bank premises and equipment, deferred taxes and other liabilities. In addition, we have not disclosed the fair value of financial instruments specifically excluded from disclosure requirements of the Financial Instruments Topic of the Codification (ASC 825-10-50-8), such as Bank-owned life insurance policies.

Following is a description of methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument not recorded at fair value but required for disclosure purposes:
Cash and Cash Equivalents
- The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents approximate their fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments.
Held-to-maturity Securities
- Held-to-maturity securities, which generally consist of obligations of state and political subdivisions and corporate bonds, are recorded at their amortized cost. The fair value for disclosure purposes is determined using methodologies similar to those described above for available-for-sale securities using Level 2 inputs. If Level 2 inputs are not available, we may utilize pricing models that incorporate unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities (Level 3). As of
June 30, 2016
and
December 31, 2015
, we did not hold any held-to-maturity securities whose fair value was measured using significant unobservable inputs.
Loans
- The fair value of loans with variable interest rates approximates their current carrying value, because their rates are regularly adjusted to current market rates. The fair value of fixed rate loans or variable loans at negotiated interest rate floors or ceilings with remaining maturities in excess of one year is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using current market rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar creditworthiness and similar remaining maturities. The allowance for loan losses (“ALLL”) is considered to be a reasonable estimate of the portion of loan discount attributable to credit risks.
Interest Receivable and Payable
- The interest receivable and payable balances approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature of their settlement dates.
Page-12
Deposits
- The fair value of deposits without stated maturity, such as transaction accounts, savings accounts and money market accounts, is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value of time deposits is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using current rates offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.
Federal Home Loan Bank Borrowings
- The fair value is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using current rates offered by the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco ("FHLB") for similar credit advances corresponding to the remaining term of our fixed-rate credit advances.
Subordinated Debentures
- The fair values of the subordinated debentures were estimated by discounting the future cash flows (interest payment at a rate of three-month LIBOR plus
3.05%
and
1.40%
) to their present values using current market rates at which similar bonds would be issued with similar credit ratings as ours and similar remaining maturities. Each interest payment was discounted at the spot rate for the corresponding term, determined based on the yields and terms of comparable trust preferred securities, plus a liquidity premium. In July 2010, the Dodd-Frank Act was signed into law and limits the ability of certain bank holding companies to treat trust preferred security debt issuances as Tier 1 capital. This law effectively closed the trust-preferred securities markets for new issuances and led to the absence of observable or comparable transactions in the market place. Due to the use of unobservable inputs of trust preferred securities, we consider the fair value to be a Level 3 measurement. See Note 6 for further information.
Commitments
- The value of unrecognized financial instruments is estimated based on the fee income associated with the commitments which, in the absence of credit exposure, is considered to approximate their settlement value. The fair value of commitment fees was not material at
June 30, 2016
and
December 31, 2015
, respectively.
Note 4: Investment Securities
Our investment securities portfolio consists of obligations of state and political subdivisions, corporate bonds, U.S. government agency securities, including mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) and collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”) issued or guaranteed by Federal National Mortgage Association ("FNMA"), Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC"), or Government National Mortgage Association ("GNMA"), debentures issued by government-sponsored agencies such as FNMA, Federal Farm Credit Bureau, FHLB and FHLMC, as well as privately issued CMOs, as reflected in the table below:

Other-Than-Temporarily Impaired Debt Securities
We have evaluated the credit of our investment securities and their issuers and/or insurers. Based on our evaluation, Management has determined that
no
investment security in our investment portfolio is other-than-temporarily impaired as of
June 30, 2016
. We do not have the intent and it is more likely than not that we will not have to sell securities temporarily impaired at
June 30, 2016
before recovery of the cost basis.

As of
June 30, 2016
, there was
one
CMO issued by FNMA that had been in a continuous loss position for twelve months or more. We have evaluated it and believe that the decline in fair value is primarily driven by factors other than credit. It is probable that we will be able to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms as it is supported by the U.S. Federal Government, which protects us from credit losses. Based upon our assessment of the credit fundamentals, we concluded that this security was not other-than-temporarily impaired at
June 30, 2016
.
Nine
investment securities in our portfolio were in a temporary loss position for less than twelve months as of
June 30, 2016
. They consisted of one debenture of U.S. government-sponsored agency, three obligations of U.S. state and political subdivisions, one privately issued CMO and four corporate bonds. The government-sponsored agency debenture is supported by the U.S. Federal Government, which protects us from credit losses. Other temporarily impaired securities are deemed creditworthy after internal analysis of the issuers' latest financial information and credit enhancement. Additionally, all are rated as investment grade by at least one major rating agency. As a result of this impairment analysis, we have concluded that these securities were not other-than-temporarily impaired at
June 30, 2016
.
Non-Marketable Securities
As a member of the FHLB, we are required to maintain a minimum investment in the FHLB capital stock determined by the Board of Directors of the FHLB. The minimum investment requirements can increase in the event we increase our total asset size or borrowings with the FHLB. Shares cannot be purchased or sold except between the FHLB and its members at the
$100
per share par value. We held
$10.2 million
and
$8.4 million
of FHLB stock recorded at cost in
other assets
on the consolidated statements of condition at
June 30, 2016
and
December 31, 2015
, respectively. The carrying amounts of these investments are reasonable estimates of fair value because the securities are restricted to member banks and they do not have a readily determinable market value. Management does not believe that the FHLB stock is other-than-temporarily-impaired, as we expect to be able to redeem this stock at cost. On July 28, 2016, FHLB announced a cash dividend for the second quarter of 2016 at an annualized dividend rate of
9.17%
to be distributed in mid August 2016. Cash dividends paid on FHLB capital stock are recorded as non-interest income.
As a member bank of Visa U.S.A., we hold
16,939
shares of Visa Inc. Class B common stock with a carrying value of
zero
, which is equal to our cost basis. These shares are restricted from resale until their conversion into Class A (voting) shares upon the termination of Visa Inc.'s covered litigation escrow account. As a result of the restriction, these shares are not considered available-for-sale and are not carried at fair value. When converting this Class B common stock to Class A common stock under the current conversion rate of
1.6483
and the closing stock price of Class A shares, the value of our shares of Class B common stock would have been
$2.1 million
at
June 30, 2016
and
$2.2 million
at
December 31, 2015
. The conversion rate is subject to further reduction upon the final settlement of the covered litigation against Visa Inc. and its member banks. See Note 8 herein.
We invest in low income housing tax credit funds as a limited partner, which totaled
$2.6 million
and
$2.7 million
recorded in other assets as of
June 30, 2016
and
December 31, 2015
, respectively. In the first half of 2016, we recognized
$164 thousand
of low income housing tax credits and other tax benefits, net of
$127 thousand
of amortization expense of low income housing tax credit investment, as a component of income tax expense. As of
June 30, 2016
, our unfunded commitments for these low income housing tax credit funds totaled
$1.5 million
. We did not recognize any impairment losses on these low income housing tax credit investments during the first half of 2016 or 2015.

Our residential loan portfolio does not include sub-prime loans, nor is it our practice to underwrite loans commonly referred to as "Alt-A mortgages", the characteristics of which are loans lacking full documentation, borrowers having low FICO scores or higher loan-to-value ratios.
2
Amounts include
$1 thousand
of Purchased Credit Impaired ("PCI") loans that had stopped accreting interest at
December 31, 2015
. Amounts exclude accreting PCI loans of
$2.9 million
and
$3.7 million
at
June 30, 2016
and
December 31, 2015
, respectively, as we have a reasonable expectation about future cash flows to be collected and we continue to recognize accretable yield on these loans in interest income. These accreting PCI loans are included in current loans. There were
no
accruing past due loans more than
ninety
days at June 30, 2016 or December 31, 2015.
3
Amounts include net deferred loan costs of
$726 thousand
and
$768 thousand
at
June 30, 2016
and
December 31, 2015
, respectively. Amounts are also net of unaccreted purchase discounts on non-PCI loans of
$2.5 million
and
$3.2 million
at
June 30, 2016
and
December 31, 2015
, respectively.
Our commercial loans are generally made to established small and mid-sized businesses to provide financing for their growth and working capital needs, equipment purchases and/or acquisitions. Management examines historical, current, and projected cash flows to determine the ability of the borrower to repay obligations as agreed. Commercial loans are made based primarily on the identified cash flows of the borrower and secondarily on the underlying collateral and/or guarantor support. The cash flows of borrowers, however, may not occur as expected, and the collateral securing these loans may fluctuate in value. Most commercial and industrial loans are secured by the assets being financed, such as accounts receivable and/or inventory, and typically include a personal guarantee. We target stable businesses with guarantors that have proven to be resilient in periods of economic stress. Typically, the guarantors provide an additional source of repayment for most of our credit extensions.
Commercial real estate loans are subject to underwriting standards and processes similar to commercial loans discussed above. We underwrite these loans to be repaid from cash flow and to be supported by real property collateral. Underwriting standards for commercial real estate loans include, but are not limited to, debt coverage and loan-to-value ratios. Furthermore, the vast majority of our loans are guaranteed by the owners of the properties. Commercial real estate loans may be adversely affected by conditions in the real estate markets or in the general economy. In the event of a vacancy, guarantors are expected to carry the loans until a replacement tenant can be found. Regardless of the guaranty status, the owner's equity investment provides a strong economic incentive to continue to support the commercial real estate projects. As such, we have generally experienced a relatively low level of loss and delinquencies in this portfolio.
Construction loans are generally made to developers and builders to finance construction, renovation and occasionally land acquisitions in anticipation of near-term development. These loans are underwritten after evaluation of the borrower's financial strength, reputation, prior track record, and independent appraisals. The construction industry can be affected by significant events, including: the inherent volatility of real estate markets and vulnerability to delays due to weather, change orders, inability to obtain construction permits, labor or material shortages, and price changes.
Page-17
Estimates of construction costs and value associated with the completed project may be inaccurate. Repayment of construction loans is largely dependent on the ultimate success of the project.
Consumer loans primarily consist of home equity lines of credit, other residential (tenancy-in-common, or “TIC”) loans, and installment and other consumer loans. We originate consumer loans utilizing credit score information, debt-to-income ratio and loan-to-value ratio analysis. Diversification, coupled with relatively small loan amounts that are spread across many individual borrowers, mitigates risk. Additionally, trend reports are reviewed by Management on a regular basis. Our residential loan portfolio includes TIC units almost entirely in San Francisco. These loans tend to have more equity in their properties than conventional residential mortgages, which mitigates risk. Installment and other consumer loans include mostly loans for floating homes and mobile homes along with a small number of installment loans.
We use a risk rating system to evaluate asset quality, and to identify and monitor credit risk in individual loans, and ultimately in the portfolio. Definitions of loans that are risk graded “Special Mention” or worse are consistent with those used by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"). Our internally assigned grades are as follows:
Pass
:
Loans to borrowers of acceptable or better credit quality. Borrowers in this category demonstrate fundamentally sound financial positions, repayment capacity, credit history and management expertise. Loans in this category must have an identifiable and stable source of repayment and meet the Bank’s policy regarding debt service coverage ratios. These borrowers are capable of sustaining normal economic, market or operational setbacks without significant financial consequences. Negative external industry factors are generally not present. The loan may be secured, unsecured or supported by non-real estate collateral for which the value is more difficult to determine and/or marketability is more uncertain. This category also includes “Watch” loans, where the primary source of repayment has been delayed. “Watch” is intended to be a transitional grade, with either an upgrade or downgrade within a reasonable period.
Special Mention
:
Potential weaknesses that deserve close attention. If left uncorrected, those potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the payment prospects for the asset. Special Mention assets do not present sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification.
Substandard
:
Inadequately protected by either the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or the collateral pledged, if any. A Substandard asset has a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize(s) the liquidation of the debt. Substandard assets are characterized by the distinct possibility that we will sustain some loss if such weaknesses or deficiencies are not corrected. Well-defined weaknesses include adverse trends or developments in the borrower’s financial condition, managerial weaknesses and/or significant collateral deficiencies.
Doubtful
:
Critical weaknesses that make collection or liquidation in full improbable. There may be specific pending events that work to strengthen the asset; however, the amount or timing of the loss may not be determinable. Pending events generally occur within one year of the asset being classified as Doubtful. Examples include: merger, acquisition, or liquidation; capital injection; guarantee; perfecting liens on additional collateral; and refinancing. Such loans are placed on non-accrual status and usually are collateral-dependent.
We regularly review our credits for accuracy of risk grades whenever new information is received. Borrowers are required to submit financial information at regular intervals:
•
Generally, commercial borrowers with lines of credit are required to submit financial information with reporting intervals ranging from monthly to annually depending on credit size, risk and complexity.
•
Investor commercial real estate borrowers are generally required to submit rent rolls or property income statements annually.
•
Construction loans are monitored monthly, and reviewed on an ongoing basis.
•
Home equity and other consumer loans are reviewed based on delinquency.
•
Loans graded “Watch” or more severe, regardless of loan type, are reviewed no less than quarterly.

Troubled Debt Restructuring
Our loan portfolio includes certain loans that have been modified in a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”), where economic concessions have been granted to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties. These concessions typically result from our loss mitigation activities and could include reductions in the interest rate, payment extensions, forgiveness of principal, forbearance or other actions. TDRs on nonaccrual status at the time of restructure may be returned to accruing status after Management considers the borrower’s sustained repayment performance for a reasonable period, generally six months, and obtains reasonable assurance of repayment and performance.
A loan may no longer be reported as a TDR if all of the following conditions are met:
•
The loan is subsequently refinanced or restructured at current market interest rates and the new terms are consistent with the treatment of creditworthy borrowers under regular underwriting standards;
•
The borrower is no longer considered to be in financial difficulty;
•
Performance on the loan is reasonably assured; and;
•
Existing loan did not have any forgiveness of principal or interest.
The removal of TDR status must be approved by the same management level that approved the upgrading of the loan classification.
There were
no
loans removed from TDR designation during 2016. During the first six months of 2015,
three
loans with a recorded investment totaling
$396 thousand
were removed from TDR designation.
The table below summarizes outstanding TDR loans by loan class as of
June 30, 2016
and
December 31, 2015
. The summary includes both TDRs that are on non-accrual status and those that continue to accrue interest.

The home equity TDR modification during the second quarter of 2016 included debt consolidation which increased the post-modification balance.
Modifications during the six months ended
June 30, 2016
primarily involved interest rate concessions, renewals, and other changes to loan terms. Modifications during the six months ended
June 30, 2015
primarily involved maturity extensions and renewals. During the first six months of 2016 and 2015, there were
no
defaults on loans that had been modified in a TDR within the prior twelve-month period. We report defaulted TDRs based on a payment default definition of more than ninety days past due.

Management monitors delinquent loans continuously and identifies problem loans, generally loans graded substandard or worse, to be evaluated individually for impairment testing. Generally, the recorded investment in impaired loans is net of any charge-offs from estimated losses related to specifically-identified impaired loans when they are deemed uncollectible. The charged-off portion of impaired loans outstanding at
June 30, 2016
and
December 31, 2015
totaled approximately
$2.0 million
and
$2.1 million
, respectively. In addition, the recorded investment in impaired loans is net of purchase discounts or premiums on acquired loans. At
June 30, 2016
and
December 31, 2015
, unused commitments to extend credit on impaired loans, including loans to borrowers whose terms have been modified in TDRs, totaled
$944 thousand
and
$1.3 million
, respectively.

NM - Not Meaningful
Purchased Credit-Impaired Loans
We evaluated loans purchased in acquisitions in accordance with accounting guidance in ASC 310-30 related to loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality. Acquired loans are considered credit-impaired if there is evidence of significant deterioration of credit quality since origination and it is probable, at the acquisition date, that we will be unable to collect all contractually required payments receivable. Management has determined certain loans purchased in our two acquisitions to be PCI loans based on credit indicators such as nonaccrual status, past due status, loan risk grade, loan-to-value ratio, etc. Revolving credit agreements (e.g., home equity lines of credit and revolving commercial loans) are not considered PCI loans as cash flows cannot be reasonably estimated.
Page-23
For acquired loans not considered credit-impaired, the difference between the contractual amounts due (principal amount) and the fair value is accounted for subsequently through accretion. We recognize discount accretion based on the acquired loan’s contractual cash flows using an effective interest rate method. The accretion is recognized through the net interest margin.
The following table presents the outstanding balances and related carrying values of PCI loans as of
June 30, 2016
and
December 31, 2015

Pledged Loans
Our FHLB line of credit is secured under terms of a blanket collateral agreement by a pledge of certain qualifying loans with an unpaid principal balance of
$861.9 million
and
$833.8 million
at
June 30, 2016
and
December 31, 2015
, respectively. In addition, we pledge a certain residential loan portfolio, which totaled
$48.4 million
and
$45.2 million
at
June 30, 2016
and
December 31, 2015
, respectively, to secure our borrowing capacity with the Federal Reserve Bank (
“
FRB
”
). Also see Note 6, Borrowings.
Note 6: Borrowings
Federal Funds Purchased – The Bank had unsecured lines of credit totaling
$92.0 million
with correspondent banks for overnight borrowings at
June 30, 2016
and
December 31, 2015
. In general, interest rates on these lines approximate the federal funds target rate. We had
no
overnight borrowings under these credit facilities at
June 30, 2016
and
December 31, 2015
.
Federal Home Loan Bank Borrowings – As of
June 30, 2016
and
December 31, 2015
, the Bank had lines of credit with the FHLB totaling
$485.9 million

ten
-year borrowing agreement under the same FHLB line of credit for
$15.0 million
at a fixed rate of
2.07%
. On June 15, 2016, the Bank repaid the
$15.0 million
early and incurred a prepayment fee of
$312 thousand
recorded in interest expense. At
June 30, 2016
and
December 31, 2015
,
$485.9 million
and
$403.4 million
, respectively, were remaining as available for borrowing from the FHLB, net of the overnight borrowings and term borrowings.
Federal Reserve Line of Credit – The Bank has a line of credit with the FRB secured by certain residential loans. At
June 30, 2016
and
December 31, 2015
, the Bank had borrowing capacity under this line totaling

As part of an acquisition, Bancorp assumed
two
subordinated debentures due to NorCal Community Bancorp Trusts I and II (the "Trusts"), established for the sole purpose of issuing trust preferred securities on September 22, 2003 and December 29, 2005, respectively. The subordinated debentures were recorded at fair values totaling
$4.95 million
at acquisition date with contractual values totaling
$8.2 million
. The difference between the contractual balance and the fair value at acquisition date is accreted into interest expense over the lives of the debentures. Accretion on the subordinated debentures totaled
$98 thousand
in the first six months of 2016 and
$106 thousand
in the first six months of 2015. Bancorp has the option to defer payment of the interest on the subordinated debentures for a period of up to
five
years, as long as there is no default on the subordinated debentures. In the event of interest deferral, dividends to Bancorp common stockholders are prohibited. The trust preferred securities were sold and issued in private transactions pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Bancorp has guaranteed, on a subordinated basis, distributions and other payments due on trust preferred securities totaling
$8.0 million
issued by the Trusts which have identical maturity, repricing and payment terms as the subordinated debentures.
The following is a summary of the contractual terms of the subordinated debentures due to the Trusts as of
June 30, 2016
:

Note 7: Stockholders' Equity
Warrant
Under the United States Department of the Treasury Capital Purchase Program (the “TCPP”), Bancorp issued to the U.S. Treasury a warrant to purchase
154,242 shares
of common stock at a per share exercise price of
$27.23
. The warrant was immediately exercisable and had an expiration date of December 5, 2018. The warrant was subsequently auctioned to
two
institutional investors in November 2011 and was exercised in September 2015. The warrant represented the right to purchase
157,711
shares of common stock at
$26.63
per share. The cashless exercise resulted in the net issuance of
70,591
shares of common stock in September 2015.

Share-Based Payments
The fair value of stock options as of the grant date is recorded as stock-based compensation expense in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income over the requisite service period with a corresponding increase in common stock. Stock-based compensation also includes compensation expense related to the issuance of unvested restricted stock awards and performance-based stock awards pursuant to the 2007 Equity Plan. The grant-date fair value of the restricted stock awards and performance-based stock awards, which is equal to the intrinsic value on that date, is being recorded as compensation expense over the requisite service period with a corresponding increase in common stock as the shares vest.
Beginning in 2015, performance-based stock awards were issued to a selected group of employees. Stock award vesting is contingent upon the achievement of pre-established long-term performance goals set by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Performance is measured over a
three
-year period and cliff vested. These performance-based stock awards were granted at a maximum opportunity level, and based on the achievement of the pre-established goals, the actual payouts can range from
0%
to
200%
of the target award. For performance-based stock awards, an estimate is made of the number of shares expected to vest based on the probability that the performance criteria will be achieved to determine the amount of compensation expense to be recognized. The estimate is re-evaluated quarterly and total compensation expense is adjusted for any change in the current period.
In addition, we record excess tax benefits on the exercise of non-qualified stock options, the disqualifying disposition of incentive stock options and vesting of restricted stock awards as an addition to common stock with a corresponding decrease in current taxes payable.
The holders of unvested restricted stock awards and performance-based stock awards are entitled to dividends on the same per-share ratio as holders of common stock. Dividends paid on the portion of share-based awards not expected to vest are also included in stock-based compensation expense. Tax benefits on dividends paid on the portion of share-based awards expected to vest are recorded as an increase to common stock with a corresponding decrease in current taxes payable.
Note 8: Commitments and Contingencies
Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk
We make commitments to extend credit in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of our customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit in the form of loans or through standby letters of credit. Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as 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. Because various commitments will expire without being fully drawn upon, the total commitment amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements.
We are exposed to credit loss equal to the contractual amount of the commitment in the event of nonperformance by the borrower. We use the same credit underwriting criteria for all credit exposure. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by us, is based on Management's credit evaluation of the borrower. Collateral types pledged may include accounts receivable, inventory, other personal property and real property.
The contractual amount of undrawn loan commitments and standby letters of credit not reflected on the consolidated statements of condition was
$418.2 million
and
$376.6 million
at
June 30, 2016
and December 31, 2015, respectively. Commitments at June 30, 2016 included
$213.3 million
under commercial lines of credit (these commitments are generally contingent upon customers maintaining specific credit standards),
$143.7 million
under revolving home equity lines,
$46.8 million
under construction loans,
$3.6 million
under standby letters of credit, and a remaining
$10.8 million
under personal and other lines of credit. We record an allowance for losses on these off-balance sheet commitments based on an estimate of probabilities of these commitments being drawn upon according to our historical utilization experience on different types of commitments and expected loss severity. We set aside an allowance for losses on off-balance sheet commitments in the amount of
$899 thousand
and
$749 thousand
as of
June 30, 2016
and December 31, 2015, respectively, which is recorded in interest payable and other liabilities on the consolidated statements of condition. The increase in the reserve for off-balance sheet commitments for the first six months of 2016 was primarily due to an increase in commitments and a decrease in utilization.

Operating Leases
We rent certain premises and equipment under long-term, non-cancelable operating leases expiring at various dates through the year 2032. Most of the leases contain certain renewal options and escalation clauses. At

Litigation Matters
We may be party to legal actions which arise from time to time as part of the normal course of our business. We believe, after consultation with legal counsel, that we have meritorious defenses in these actions, and that litigation contingent liability, if any, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
We are responsible for our proportionate share of certain litigation indemnifications provided to Visa U.S.A. ("Visa") by its member banks in connection with lawsuits related to anti-trust charges and interchange fees ("Covered Litigation"). Visa maintains an escrow account from which settlements of, or judgments in, the Covered Litigation are paid. While the accrual related to the Covered Litigation could be higher or lower than the litigation escrow account balance, Visa did not record an additional accrual for the Covered Litigation during 2016. At June 30, 2016, the balance of the escrow account was
$1.0 billion
. Visa had reached a
$4.0 billion
interchange multidistrict litigation class settlement agreement. However, a number of objectors have appealed and on June 30, 2016, an appellate court reversed the approval of the settlement by the lower court. Until the appeal process is complete, Visa is uncertain whether it will resolve the claims as contemplated by the settlement agreement and additional lawsuits may arise. The conversion rate of Visa Class B common stock held by us to Class A common stock (as discussed in Note 4, Investment Securities) may decrease if Visa makes more Covered Litigation settlement payments in the future, and the full effect on member banks is still uncertain. However, we are not aware of significant future cash settlement payments required by us on the Covered Litigation.
Note 9: Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities
We have entered into interest rate swap agreements, primarily as an asset/liability management strategy, in order to mitigate the changes in the fair value of specified long-term fixed-rate loans (or firm commitments to enter into long-term fixed-rate loans) caused by changes in interest rates. These hedges allow us to offer long-term fixed rate loans to customers without assuming the interest rate risk of a long-term asset. Converting our fixed-rate interest payments to floating-rate interest payments, generally benchmarked to the one-month U.S. dollar LIBOR index, protects us against changes in the fair value of our loans associated with fluctuating interest rates.
The fixed-rate payment features of the interest rate swap agreements are generally structured at inception to mirror substantially all of the provisions of the hedged loan agreements. These interest rate swaps, designated and qualified as fair value hedges, are carried on the consolidated statements of condition at their fair value in
other assets
(when the fair value is positive) or in other liabilities (when the fair value is negative). The unrealized gain or loss in fair value of the hedged fixed-rate loan due to LIBOR interest rate movements is recorded as an adjustment to the hedged loan.
From time to time, we make firm commitments to enter into long-term fixed-rate loans with borrowers backed by yield maintenance agreements and simultaneously enter into forward interest rate swap agreements with correspondent banks to mitigate the change in fair value of the yield maintenance agreement. Prior to loan funding, yield maintenance agreements with net settlement features that meet the definition of a derivative are considered as non-designated hedges and are carried on the consolidated statements of condition at their fair value in other assets (when the fair value is positive) or in other liabilities (when the fair value is negative). The offsetting changes in the fair value of the forward swap and the yield maintenance agreement are recorded in interest income. When the fixed-rate loans are originated, the forward swaps are designated to offset the change in fair value in the loans. Subsequent to the point
Page-27
of the swap designations, the related yield maintenance agreements are no longer considered derivatives. Their fair value at the designation date is recorded in
other assets
and is amortized using the effective yield method over the life of the respective designated loans.
The net effect of the change in fair value of interest rate swaps, the amortization of the yield maintenance agreements and the change in the fair value of the hedged loans result in an insignificant amount of hedge ineffectiveness recognized in
interest income
.
Our credit exposure, if any, on interest rate swaps is limited to the favorable value (net of any collateral pledged to us) and interest payments of all swaps by each counterparty. Conversely, when an interest rate swap is in a liability position exceeding a certain threshold, we may be required to post collateral to the counterparty in an amount determined by the agreements. Collateral levels are monitored and adjusted on a regular basis for changes in interest rate swap values.
As of
June 30, 2016
, we had
six
interest rate swap agreements, which are scheduled to mature in August 2020, June 2031, October 2031, July 2032, August 2037 and October 2037. All of our derivatives are accounted for as fair value hedges. In April 2016,
one
interest rate swap scheduled to mature in June 2020 was terminated as the hedged loan was paid off. A prepayment fee was collected from the borrower to settle our interest rate swap liability, resulting in
no
net gain or loss on the termination of the swap and loan payoff. Our interest rate swaps are settled monthly with counterparties. Accrued interest on the swaps totaled
$16 thousand
and
$28 thousand
as of
June 30, 2016
and
December 31, 2015

Hedge ineffectiveness is the measure of the extent to which the change in the fair value of the hedging instruments does not exactly offset the change in the fair value of the hedged items from period to period.
Our derivative transactions with counterparties are under International Swaps and Derivative Association (“ISDA”) master agreements that include “right of set-off” provisions. “Right of set-off” provisions are legally enforceable rights to offset recognized amounts and there may be an intention to settle such amounts on a net basis. We do not offset such financial instruments for financial reporting purposes.

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Management's discussion of the financial condition and results of operations, which is unaudited, should be read in conjunction with the related consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q and with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Average balances, including balances used in calculating certain financial ratios, are generally comprised of average daily balances.
Forward-Looking Statements
This discussion of financial results includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the "1933 Act") and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the "1934 Act"). Those sections of the 1933 Act and 1934 Act provide a "safe harbor" for forward-looking statements to encourage companies to provide prospective information about their financial performance so long as they provide meaningful, cautionary statements identifying important factors that could cause actual results to differ significantly from projected results.
Our forward-looking statements include descriptions of plans or objectives of Management for future operations, products or services, and forecasts of revenues, earnings or other measures of economic performance. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. They often include the words "believe," "expect," "intend," "estimate" or words of similar meaning, or future or conditional verbs preceded by "will," "would," "should," "could" or "may."
Forward-looking statements are based on Management's current expectations regarding economic, legislative, and regulatory issues that may affect our earnings in future periods. A number of factors, many of which are beyond Management’s control, could cause future results to vary materially from current Management expectations. Such factors include, but are not limited to, general economic conditions and the economic uncertainty in the United States and abroad, including changes in interest rates, deposit flows, real estate values, and expected future cash flows on loans and securities; integration of acquisitions and competition; changes in accounting principles, policies or guidelines; changes in legislation or regulation; adverse weather conditions, including droughts in California; and other economic, competitive, governmental, regulatory and technological factors affecting our operations, pricing, products and services.
Important factors that could cause results or performance to materially differ from those expressed in our prior forward-looking statements are detailed in Item
1A. Risk Factors
section of our 2015 Form 10-K as filed with the SEC, copies of which are available from us at no charge. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. We do not undertake to update forward-looking statements to reflect circumstances or events that occur after the date the forward-looking statements are made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

Executive Summary
Earnings in the
second quarter of 2016
totaled
$4.8 million
, compared to
$5.6 million
in the
first quarter of 2016
and
$4.3 million
in the
second quarter of 2015
. Diluted earnings per share were
$0.79
in the
second quarter of 2016
, compared to
$0.93
in the prior quarter and
$0.71
in the same quarter last year.
The following are highlights of our operating and financial performance:
•
Loans totaled
$1,448.4 million
at June 30, 2016, compared to
$1,451.2 million
at December 31, 2015. New loan originations of approximately $73.6 million in the first half of 2016 were offset by payoffs of approximately $77.4 million.
•
Non-interest bearing deposits comprised 47.2% of total deposits at June 30, 2016, and the cost of total deposits for the quarter was 0.08%.
•
Credit quality remains strong with non-accrual loans representing 0.19% of total loans at June 30, 2016. There was no provision for loan losses recorded in 2016.
•
The net interest margin decreased 27 basis points to 3.77% for the second quarter of 2016 from 4.04% for the first quarter of 2016. A decline in gains on payoffs of acquired loans of $740 thousand and a prepayment fee of $312 thousand paid on the retirement of a FHLB fixed rate advance negatively impacted the net interest margin in the second quarter of 2016. The prepayment of the FHLB advance and concurrent sale of investment securities are expected to have a positive 4 basis point impact on our net interest margin.
•
Return on assets ("ROA") was 0.99% for the quarter ended June 30, 2016, compared to 1.15% last quarter and 0.93% for the second quarter last year. Return on equity ("ROE") was 8.68% for the quarter ended June 30, 2016, compared to 10.38% last quarter and 8.33% for the second quarter of 2015.
•
All capital ratios are above regulatory requirements for a well-capitalized institution. The total risk-based capital ratio for Bancorp was 14.1% at June 30, 2016 compared to 13.4% at December 31, 2015.
Net interest income totaled
$17.2 million
in the
second quarter of 2016
, compared to
$18.6 million
in the prior quarter and
$16.5 million
in the same quarter a year ago. The tax-equivalent net interest margin was
3.77%
,
4.04%
and
3.86%
, for those respective periods. The decrease in tax-equivalent net interest margin from the prior quarter includes 16 basis points decline related to the absence of gains on payoffs of acquired loans and 7 basis points due to the prepayment fee on the retirement of a FHLB fixed rate advance.
Non-interest income in the second quarter of 2016 totaled
$2.4 million
, compared to
$2.2 million
in the prior quarter and
$2.6 million
in the same quarter a year ago. The increase compared to the prior quarter primarily relates to an increase in the net gains on the sale of securities in the second quarter.
Non-interest expense totaled
$12.0 million
in the
second quarter of 2016
, unchanged from the prior quarter and
$12.3 million
in the same quarter a year ago. Our efficiency ratio (the ratio of non-interest expense divided by the sum of net interest income and non-interest income) was 61.35%, 57.74% and 64.62% for the quarters ended June 30, 2016, March 31, 2016 and June 30, 2015, respectively.
Assets totaled $1,950.5 million at
June 30, 2016
, a decrease of $80.6 million, or 4.0% from $2,031.1 million at
December 31, 2015

The investment securities portfolio totaled $381.9 million at
June 30, 2016
, a decline of $105.6 million from
December 31, 2015
. In addition to paydowns and maturities in the portfolio, $68.7 million in securities were sold in 2016 at net gains totaling $394 thousand.
Loans totaled
$1,448.4 million
at
June 30, 2016
, a decrease of $2.8 million from $1,451.2 million at
December 31, 2015
. Loan originations in the first six months of 2016 of approximately $73.6 million were spread throughout our markets with the majority originated in Marin County, Sonoma County and San Francisco. Investor commercial real estate, and commercial and industrial accounted for the bulk of the new loan volume in the first half of 2016. Payoffs
Page-32
of approximately $77.4 million offset the new loan volume, and combined with changes in utilization of lines of credit and amortization on existing loans resulted in the decrease in loan balances since
December 31, 2015
.
Credit quality remains strong with non-accrual loans totaling
$2.7 million
at
June 30, 2016
, compared to $2.2 million at
December 31, 2015
, and representing
0.19
% of total loans compared to 0.15% at year end. Classified loans totaled
$20.4 million
at
June 30, 2016
, down from $22.3 million at
December 31, 2015
. Accruing loans past due 30 to 89 days totaled
$135 thousand
at
June 30, 2016
, compared to $2.1 million at
December 31, 2015
.
There was no provision for loan losses recorded in the
second quarter of 2016
as the loan portfolio did not increase and the portfolio's credit quality continued to improve. No provision for loan losses was recorded in the prior quarter or the same quarter a year ago. The ratio of allowance for loan losses to total loans increased to
1.04%
at
June 30, 2016
, compared to 1.03% at
December 31, 2015
.
Deposits totaled
$1,705.6 million
at
June 30, 2016
, compared to $1,728.2 million at
December 31, 2015
. The $22.6 million decline was primarily due to normal business activity for new and existing commercial customers and the nature of their businesses. Non-interest bearing deposits totaled $804.4 million, or 47.2% of total deposits at
June 30, 2016
, compared to 44.6% at
December 31, 2015
. FHLB and other borrowings also declined $67.0 million. We retired a $15 million fixed rate FHLB advance in the second quarter and there were no overnight borrowings at June 30, 2016.
The total risk-based capital ratio for Bancorp was
14.1%
at
June 30, 2016
, compared to 13.4% at
December 31, 2015
. The common equity tier one ratio, a regulatory ratio under Basel III (Basel Committee on Bank Supervision guidelines for determining regulatory capital), was 12.8% at
June 30, 2016
, compared to 12.2% at December 31, 2015. As reported in the Capital Adequacy section of this document, all four of our capital ratios exceed adequately capitalized levels under the Basel III requirements that took effect January 1, 2015.
Going forward:
•
We have ample liquidity and capital to support both organic growth and acquisitions in the coming quarters.
•
Acquisitions remain a component of our strategic plan. The Bay Area is an economically attractive area and we intend to expand our footprint through organic growth and strategic acquisitions.
•
Credit quality and expense control remain key priorities.
•
Our net interest margin in 2016 could continue to compress if current market interest rates do not increase.
•
We cannot predict the timing of early payoffs of acquired loans and their effect on our future net interest margin.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Critical accounting policies are those that are both very important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and require Management's most difficult, subjective, or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and imprecise.
Except for the Allowance for Loan Losses, as described below, there have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies, which are described in Item 7, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 2015 Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 11, 2016.
Allowance for Loan Losses
The overall allowance consists of 1) specific allowances for individually identified impaired loans ("ASC 310-10") and 2) general allowances for pools of loans ("ASC 450-20"), which incorporate quantitative (e.g., loan loss rates) and qualitative risk factors (e.g., portfolio growth and trends, credit concentrations, economic and regulatory factors, etc.).
The first component, specific allowances, results from the analysis of identified problem credits and the evaluation of sources of repayment including collateral, as applicable. Through Management's ongoing loan grading and credit monitoring process, individual loans are identified that have conditions indicating the borrower may be unable to pay
Page-33
all amounts due in accordance with the contractual terms. These loans are evaluated for impairment individually by Management. Management considers an originated loan to be impaired when it is probable we will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. When the fair value of the impaired loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan, the difference is recorded as an impairment through the establishment of a specific allowance. For loans determined to be impaired, the extent of the impairment is measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate at origination (for originated loans), based on the loan's observable market price, or based on the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent or if foreclosure is imminent. Generally with problem credits that are collateral dependent, we obtain appraisals of the collateral at least annually. We may obtain appraisals more frequently if we believe the collateral value is subject to market volatility, if a specific event has occurred to the collateral, or if we believe foreclosure is imminent.
The second component is an estimate of the probable inherent losses in each loan pool with similar characteristics. This analysis encompasses the entire loan portfolio, excluding individually identified impaired loans and acquired loans whose purchase discount has not been fully accreted. Under our allowance model, loans are evaluated on a pool basis by Federal regulatory reporting codes ("CALL codes" or "segments"), which are further delineated by assigned credit risk ratings, as described in Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements of this Form 10-Q. Segments include the following:
•
Loans secured by real estate:
- 1-4 family residential construction loans
- Other construction loans and all land development and other land loans
- Secured by farmland (including residential and other improvements)
- Revolving, open-end loans secured by 1-4 family residential properties and extended under lines of credit
- Closed-end loans secured by 1-4 family residential properties, secured by first liens
- Closed-end loans secured by 1-4 family residential properties, secured by junior liens
- Secured by multifamily (5 or more) residential properties
- Loans secured by owner-occupied non-farm nonresidential properties
- Loans secured by other non-farm nonresidential properties
•
Loans to finance agricultural production and other loans to farmers
•
Commercial and industrial loans
•
Loans to individuals for household, family and other personal expenditures (i.e., consumer loans)
•
Other loans
The model determines general allowances by loan segment based on quantitative (loss history) and qualitative risk factors. Qualitative internal and external risk factors include, but are not limited to, the following:
•
Changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio.
•
Changes in the volume and severity of past due loans, the volume of non-accruals loans, and the volume and severity of adversely classified or graded loans.
•
The existence and effect of any credit concentrations (when the credit segment exceeds a certain percentage of our capital), and changes in the levels of such concentrations.
•
Changes in lending policies and procedures, including changes in underwriting standards and collection, charge-off, and recovery practices not considered elsewhere.
•
Changes in the experience, ability, and depth of lending management and other relevant staff.
•
Changes in the quality of our systematic loan review processes.
•
Changes in economic and business conditions, and developments that affect the collectability of the portfolio.
•
Changes in the value of underlying collateral, where applicable.
•
The effect of other external factors such as legal and regulatory requirements on the level of estimated credit losses in the portfolio.
•
The effect of acquisitions of other loan portfolios on our infrastructure, including risk associated with entering new geographic areas as a result of such acquisitions.
•
The presence of specialized lending segments in the portfolio.
Beginning with the quarter ended March 31, 2016, Management enhanced its methodology for determining the quantitative and qualitative risk factors assigned to unimpaired loans in order to capture historical loss information at the loan level, track loss migration through risk grade deterioration, increase efficiencies related to performing the calculations, and refine how we incorporate environmental and other unique risk elements into our estimation of credit losses. The changes in methodology did not result in a material difference in general allowances. Prior to March 31,
Page-34
2016, under the Bank's allowance model, each segment was assigned a quantitative loss factor that was primarily based on a rolling twenty-quarter look-back at our historical losses for that particular segment, as well as a number of other assumptions. As of March 31, 2016, the quantitative risk factor for each segment utilizes historical loss or migration analysis loss methods based on loss history beginning March 2010.
Under the historical loss method, quarterly loss rates are calculated for each segment by dividing annualized net charge-offs during each quarter by the quarter's average segment balances. The quarterly loss rates are averaged over the entire loss history period. Under the migration analysis method, loss rates are calculated at the risk grade and segment levels by dividing the net charge-off amount by the total segment balance at the beginning of each migration period where the charged-off loan in question was present. Migration loss rates are averaged for each risk grade and segment for the entire loss history period. For each segment, the larger of the migration loss reserves or segment historical loss reserves is applied to the current loan balance. Qualitative factors are combined with these quantitative factors to arrive at the overall general allowances.
While we believe we use the best information available to determine the allowance for loan losses, our results of operations could be significantly affected if circumstances differ substantially from the assumptions used in determining the allowance. A decline in local and national economic conditions, or significant changes in other assumptions, could result in a material increase in the allowance for loan losses and may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the determination of the amount of the allowance for loan losses is subject to review by bank regulators, as part of their routine examination process, which may result in the establishment of additional allowance for loan losses based upon their judgment of information available to them at the time of their examination.
For further information regarding the allowance for loan losses, see Note 5 - Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses in the Consolidated Financial Statements of this Form 10-Q.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income is the difference between the interest earned on loans, investments and other interest-earning assets and the interest expense incurred on deposits and other interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income is impacted by changes in general market interest rates and by changes in the amounts and composition of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Interest rate changes can create fluctuations in the net interest income due to an imbalance in the timing of repricing or maturity of assets and liabilities. We manage interest rate risk exposure with the goal of minimizing the impact of interest rate volatility on net interest income.
Net interest margin is expressed as net interest income divided by average interest-earning assets. Net interest rate spread is the difference between the average rate earned on total interest-earning assets and the average rate incurred on total interest-bearing liabilities. Both of these measures are reported on a taxable-equivalent basis. Net interest margin is the higher of the two because it reflects interest income earned on assets funded with non-interest-bearing sources of funds, which include demand deposits and stockholders’ equity.
Page-35
The following table, Average Statements of Condition and Analysis of Net Interest Income, compares interest income and average interest-earning assets with interest expense and average interest-bearing liabilities for the periods presented. The table also presents net interest income, net interest margin and net interest rate spread for each period reported.

Second Quarter of 2016 Compared to Second Quarter of 2015
The tax-equivalent net interest margin was
3.77%
in the second quarter of 2016, compared to
3.86%
in the same quarter in the previous year. The nine basis point decrease is primarily comprised of a seven basis point decrease from an FHLB advance prepayment fee and lower yields on investment securities and new loans resulting from the continued low interest rate environment, partially offset by higher loan and investment balances. The net interest spread also decreased 15 basis points over the same period for the same reasons.
The yield on average interest-earning assets decreased four basis points in the second quarter of 2016 compared to the second quarter of 2015 due to lower accretion on acquired loans and lower yields on newly purchased investment securities. Average loans as a percentage of average interest-earning assets were 77.5% and 77.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Total average interest-earning assets increased $126.6 million, or 7.3%, in the second quarter of 2016, compared to the second quarter of 2015, due to an increase in average securities of $70.0 million and average loans of $104.6 million, partially offset by a decrease of $47.9 million in average interest-bearing due from banks.
Page-37
First Six Months of 2016 Compared to First Six Months of 2015
The tax-equivalent net interest margin was
3.90%
in the first six months of 2016, compared to
3.93%
in the same period in the previous year. The three basis point decrease is primarily comprised of a four basis point decrease from the FHLB advance prepayment fee and lower yields on investment securities, partially offset by higher gains on the payoff of PCI loans, which added eight basis points during the first half of 2016 as seen in the table below. The net interest spread also decreased five basis points over the same period for the same reasons.
The yield on average interest-earning assets decreased two basis points in the first six months of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015 due to the reasons listed above. Average loans as a percentage of average interest-earning assets were 77.1% and 78.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Total average interest-earning assets increased $152.0 million, or 8.9%, in the first six months of 2016, compared to the same period in 2015, due to an increase in average loans of $97.7 million and average securities of $93.0 million, partially offset by a decrease of $38.7 million in average interest-bearing due from banks.
Market interest rates are, in part, based on the target federal funds interest rate (the interest rate banks charge each other for short-term borrowings) implemented by the Federal Reserve Open Market Committee ("FOMC"). In December 2015, the FOMC raised the target federal funds rate by 25 basis points to a range of 0.25% to 0.50% from the historic low of 0.00% to 0.25% that had not changed during the previous seven years. The prolonged low interest rate environment, especially the low long-term interest rates, has resulted in downward pricing pressure on our interest-earning assets. We have experienced significant net interest margin compression over the last several years and our net interest margin in 2016 may continue to compress if current market interest rates do not increase.
Early payoffs or prepayments of our acquired loans with significant unamortized purchase discount/premium could result in volatility in our net interest margin and cannot be predicted. As our acquired loans continue to pay off, we expect the accretion on acquired loans to continue to decline. Accretion and gains on payoffs of purchased loans recorded to interest income were as follows:

Provision for Loan Losses
Management assesses the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses on a quarterly basis based on several factors including growth of the loan portfolio, analysis of probable losses in the portfolio, historical loss experience and the current economic climate. Actual losses on loans are charged against the allowance, and the allowance is increased by loss recoveries and provisions for loan losses charged to expense.
There was no provision for loan losses recorded in the
second quarter of 2016
as the loan portfolio did not increase and the portfolio's credit quality continued to improve. No provision for loan losses was recorded in the prior quarter or the same quarter a year ago. Net recoveries in the
second quarter of 2016
totaled
$59 thousand
, compared to
$802 thousand
of net charge-offs in the same quarter a year ago. A protracted problem land development loan was sold in the second quarter of 2015 resulting in an $839 thousand charge-off.
No provision for loan losses was recorded in the first half of 2016 or 2015. Net recoveries were $89 thousand in the first half of 2016, compared to net charge-offs of $745 thousand in the first half of 2015.
The allowance for loan losses totaled
1.04%
of loans at
June 30, 2016
, compared to 1.03% at
December 31, 2015
. Non-accrual loans totaled
$2.7 million
, or
0.19%
of Bancorp's loan portfolio at
June 30, 2016
, compared to $2.2 million, or 0.15% at
December 31, 2015
.
Page-38
Impaired loan balances totaled $22.6 million at
June 30, 2016
, compared to $21.2 million at
December 31, 2015
, with specific valuation allowances of $1.4 million and $1.2 million for the same respective dates. The increase in both impaired loan balances and the related specific valuation allowance primarily relates to the addition of two performing commercial real estate loans modified in a Troubled Debt Restructuring (“TDR”), and a home equity loan and commercial real estate loan that were transfered to non-accrual status. Loans with "substandard" risk grades decreased to
$20.4 million
at
June 30, 2016
,
from $22.3 million at
December 31, 2015
. There were no loans with "doubtful" risk grades at
June 30, 2016
or
December 31, 2015
.

Non-interest income decreased $187 thousand from the
second quarter of 2015
to $2.4 million. The decrease relates predominantly to a $305 thousand special cash dividend on FHLB stock, and $147 thousand one-time settlement recorded in other income
,
both received in the second quarter of 2015. These decreases were partially offset by the $284 thousand gain on the sale of four available-for-sale securities in the second quarter of 2016.
Non-interest income decreased $213 thousand to $4.6 million for the first six months of 2016 compared to $4.8 million for the first six months of 2015. The decrease resulted from lower dividends on FHLB stock, lower wealth management-related fees, and lower service charges on deposit accounts, partially offset by gains on the sale of investment securities.

Non-interest expense decreased $302 thousand to
$12.0 million
in the
second quarter of 2016
compared to
$12.3 million
in the
second quarter of 2015
. The decrease was primarily due to a reduction in rent expense related to the relocation of offices in 2016, and one-time lease accounting adjustments in 2015 as well as higher director expenses incurred in 2015 related to education costs and strategic matters. These decreases were partially offset by a $150 thousand provision for off-balance sheet commitments in the second quarter of 2016, compared to a reversal of $109 thousand last year, and higher data processing expense mainly due to enhancing security features of our Visa debit cards and consulting services related to compliance systems.
Non-interest expense decreased $149 thousand to $24.0 million for the first six months of 2016 compared to $24.2 million for the first six months of 2015. The decrease resulted from the same reasons described above and higher expenses related to OREO included in other non-interest expense for the first six months of 2015.

Provision for Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes for the second quarter of 2016 totaled
$2.7 million
at an effective tax rate of 36.1%, compared to
$2.5 million
at an effective tax rate of 36.4% in the same quarter last year. The provision for income taxes for the first half of 2016 totaled
$5.9 million
at an effective tax rate of 35.9%, compared to
$4.9 million
at an effective tax rate of 36.1% for the first half of 2015. These provisions reflect accruals for taxes at the applicable rates for federal income tax and California franchise tax based upon reported pre-tax income, and adjusted for the effects of all permanent differences between income for tax and financial reporting purposes (such as earnings on qualified municipal securities, BOLI, and certain tax-exempt loans). We forecast annual pre-tax income and these permanent differences to project our effective tax rates. As a result, there are fluctuations in the effective rate from period to period based on the relationship of net permanent differences to income before tax.
We file a consolidated return in the U.S. Federal tax jurisdiction and a combined return in the State of California tax jurisdiction. There were no ongoing federal or state income tax examinations at the issuance of this report. At
June 30, 2016
, neither the Bank nor Bancorp had accruals for interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits.
FINANCIAL CONDITION SUMMARY
At June 30, 2016, assets totaled
$1,950.5 million
, a decrease of $80.6 million when compared to $2,031.1 million at December 31, 2015, primarily due to a decrease in investment securities of $105.6 million with corresponding reductions in borrowings and deposits totaling $67.0 million and $22.6 million, respectively. New loan volume of approximately $73.6 million in the first half of 2016 was offset by pay-offs of approximately $77.4 million, and combined with scheduled payments and advances on existing loan commitments, produced a net decrease of $2.8 million from December 31, 2015. We believe our loan and deposit pipelines are presently robust, reflecting growth prospects in all of our markets. We have replenished our loan pipeline which is now at its highest level since the end of the year after funding $114 million in loans during the fourth quarter of 2015.
Investment Securities
Investment securities in our portfolio that may be backed by mortgages having sub-prime or Alt-A features (certain privately issued CMOs) represent 0.2% of our total investment portfolio at both
June 30, 2016
and
December 31, 2015
.
We sold eight available-for-sale securities in 2016 at net gains of $393.9 thousand with total proceeds of $68.7 million
to pay down our borrowings.

The portion of the portfolio outside the state of California is distributed among nineteen states. The largest concentrations are in Washington (12.2%), Minnesota (7.4%), and Wisconsin (6.4%). Revenue bonds, both within
Page-41
and outside California, primarily consisted of bonds relating to essential services (such as public improvements and utilities) and school district bonds.
Investments in states, municipalities and political subdivisions are subject to an initial pre-purchase credit assessment and ongoing monitoring. Key considerations include:
•
The soundness of a municipality’s budgetary position and stability of its tax revenues
•
Debt profile and level of unfunded liabilities, diversity of revenue sources, taxing authority of the issuer
•
Local demographics/economics including unemployment data, largest taxpayers and local employers, income indices and home values
•
For revenue bonds, the source and strength of revenue for municipal authorities including the obligor’s financial condition and reserve levels, annual debt service and debt coverage ratio, and credit enhancement (such as insurer’s strength)
•
Credit ratings by major credit rating agencies
Loans
New loan originations were strong at approximately $73.6 million in the first six months of 2016. Investor commercial real estate and commercial and industrial, including related owner-occupied commercial real estate, accounted for the majority of the new loan volume for the first half of 2016. Loan originations were offset by pay-offs of approximately $77.4 million. Two investor commercial real estate loans totaling $22 million accounted for approximately 29% of pay-offs. One of these was a $13 million credit for which the Bank chose not to match a competitor's highly aggressive loan terms as they were not consistent with our credit policy. The remaining $9 million loan was a planned payoff, which facilitated new financing on a related property.
Our residential loan portfolio does not include sub-prime loans, nor is it our practice to underwrite loans commonly referred to as "Alt-A mortgages," the characteristics of which are loans lacking full documentation, borrowers having low FICO scores, or collateral compositions reflecting high loan-to-value ratios. Refer to Note 5 for the composition of outstanding loans by class.
Liabilities
During the first six months of 2016, total liabilities decreased $92.7 million to $
1,724.0 million
. At June 30, 2016, deposits totaled $
1,705.6 million
, a decrease of $22.6 million from December 31, 2015. Fluctuation in deposits was primarily due to normal business activity for new and existing commercial customers and the nature of their businesses. We paid off $67.0 million of borrowings from December 31, 2015, including a $15 million fixed rate Federal Home Loan Bank advance to reduce our cost of funds going forward.
Capital Adequacy
We are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, we must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of our assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and the Bank’s prompt corrective action classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components of capital, risk weightings and other factors.
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require Bancorp and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total and Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets and of Tier 1 capital to quarterly average assets.
Capital ratios are reviewed by Management on a regular basis to ensure that capital exceeds the prescribed regulatory minimums and is adequate to meet our anticipated future needs. For all periods presented, the Bank’s ratios exceed the regulatory definition of “well capitalized” under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action and Bancorp’s ratios exceed the required minimum ratios for capital adequacy purposes.
In July 2013, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve, the FDIC and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, finalized regulatory capital rules known as "Basel III". The rules became effective beginning January 2015, and will
Page-42
be phased-in and become fully implemented by January 2019. The guidelines, among other things, changed the minimum capital requirements of bank holding companies, by increasing the Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets ratio to 6%, and introducing a new requirement to maintain a minimum ratio of common equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 4.5%. By 2019, when fully phased in, the rules will require further increases to certain minimum capital requirements and a capital conservation buffer of an additional 2.5% of risk-weighted assets. Basel III permits certain banks such as us to exclude accumulated other comprehensive income or loss from regulatory capital through a one-time election in the first quarter of 2015. As it was consistent with our existing treatment, there were no changes to our capital ratios as a result of making this election. The changes that affected us most significantly include:
•
shifting off-balance sheet items with an original maturity of one year or less from 0% to 20% risk weight,
•
moving past due loan balances from 100% to 150% risk weight,
•
deducting deferred tax assets associated with NOLs and tax credits from common equity Tier 1 capital, and
•
subjecting deferred tax assets related to temporary timing differences that exceed certain thresholds to 250% risk-weighting, beginning in 2018.
We have modeled our ratios under the fully phased-in Basel III rules and, based on present facts, we do not expect that we will be required to raise additional capital as a result of the fully phased-in rules.
To be categorized as well capitalized the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, Tier 1 leverage, and common equity Tier 1 ratios as set forth in the second table below. The most recent notification from the FDIC categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action as of March 31, 2016. There are no conditions or events since that notification that Management believes have changed the Bank’s categories, and we expect the Bank to remain well capitalized for prompt corrective action purposes.
The Bancorp’s and Bank’s capital adequacy ratios as of
June 30, 2016
and
December 31, 2015
are presented in the following tables. Bancorp's Tier 1 capital includes the subordinated debentures, which are not included at the Bank level. We continued to build capital in 2016 through the accumulation of net income.

Liquidity
The goal of liquidity management is to provide adequate funds to meet loan demand and fund operating activities and deposit withdrawals. We accomplish this goal by maintaining an appropriate level of liquid assets and formal lines of credit with the FHLB, FRBSF and correspondent banks that enable us to borrow funds as needed. Our ALCO, which is comprised of certain directors of the Bank, is responsible for approving and monitoring our liquidity targets and strategies. ALCO has adopted a contingency funding plan that provides early detection of a potential shortfall in liquidity below internal requirements and institutes prompt responses that may prevent or alleviate a potential liquidity crisis.
We obtain funds from the repayment and maturity of loans as well as deposit inflows, investment security maturities and paydowns, federal funds purchases, FHLB advances, and other borrowings. Our primary uses of funds are the origination of loans, the purchase of investment securities, withdrawals of deposits, maturity of certificate of deposits, repayment of borrowings and dividends to common stockholders.
Management monitors our liquidity position daily. Our liquid assets totaled
$287.5
million at
June 30, 2016
which included unencumbered available-for-sale securities (after applying valuation haircut) and cash. We attract and retain new deposits, which depends upon the variety and effectiveness of our customer account products, service and convenience, and rates paid to customers, as well as our financial strength. Any long-term decline in retail deposit funding would adversely affect our liquidity. We repaid $67 million of borrowings from the FHLB during the first six months of 2016 to lower our cost of funds going forward. In addition,
we had an influx of deposits from several large commercial depositors in late 2015 that were withdrawn in early 2016 due to their business operation models. As a result, our liquid assets declined $87.5 million from
December 31, 2015
to
June 30, 2016
. Management regularly adjusts our investments in
liquid assets based upon our assessment of expected loan demand and payoff activities, expected deposit flows, desired mix and yields on interest-earning assets, and the objectives of our asset/liability management program. In addition, we have secured borrowing capacity through the FHLB and FRBSF that can be drawn upon. Management anticipates our current strong liquidity position and core deposit base will provide adequate liquidity to fund our operations.
As presented in the accompanying unaudited consolidated statements of cash flows, the sources of liquidity vary between periods. Our cash and cash equivalents at
June 30, 2016
totaled
$55.4 million
, an increase of
$29.1 million
from December 31, 2015. The primary sources of funds during the first six months of 2016 included $109.2 million in proceeds from sales, pay-downs and maturities of investment securities, net of purchases, $5.0 million in loan principal collections (net of loan originations), and
$10.5 million
net cash provided by operating activities. The primary uses of liquidity during the first six months of 2016 were the repayment of $67.0 million in borrowings and a decline in net deposits of
$22.6 million
.
In addition to cash and cash equivalents, we have substantial additional borrowing capacity as discussed in Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements.
Page-44
Undrawn credit commitments, as discussed in Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements, totaled
$418.2 million
at
June 30, 2016
. These commitments, to the extent used, are expected to be funded primarily through the repayment of existing loans, deposit growth and liquid assets. Over the next twelve months, $115.7 million of time deposits will mature. We expect these funds to be replaced with new deposits. Our emphasis on local deposits combined with our well capitalized equity position, provides a very stable funding base.
Since Bancorp is a holding company and does not conduct regular banking operations, its primary sources of liquidity are dividends from the Bank. Under the California Financial Code, payment of a dividend from the Bank to Bancorp without advance regulatory approval is restricted to the lesser of the Bank’s retained earnings or the amount of the Bank’s net profits from the previous three fiscal years less the amount of dividends paid during that period. The primary uses of funds for Bancorp are shareholder dividends and ordinary operating expenses. Bancorp held $3.6 million of cash at
June 30, 2016
. Bancorp obtained dividend distributions from the Bank in the amount of $3.0 million in January 2016. The Board of Directors approved an additional $3.4 million dividend from the Bank to Bancorp in July 2016 to cover Bancorp's operational needs and cash dividends to shareholders through the end of 2016. Management anticipates that there will be sufficient earnings at the Bank to provide dividends to Bancorp to meet its funding requirements for the foreseeable future.
ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market
Risk
Market risk is defined as the risk of loss arising from an adverse change in the market value (or prices) of financial instruments. A significant form of market risk is interest rate risk, which is inherent in our investment, borrowing, lending and deposit gathering activities. The Bank manages interest rate sensitivity to minimize the exposure of our net interest margin, earnings, and capital to changes in interest rates. Interest rate changes can create fluctuations in the net interest margin due to an imbalance in the timing of repricing or maturity of assets or liabilities.
To mitigate interest rate risk, the structure of the Consolidated Statement of Condition is managed with the objective of correlating the effects of interest rate changes on loans and investments with those of deposits and borrowings. The asset liability management policy sets limits on the acceptable amount of change to net interest income and economic value of equity in different interest rate environments.
From time to time, we enter into interest rate swap contracts to mitigate the changes in the fair value of specified long-term fixed-rate loans and firm commitments to enter into long-term fixed-rate loans caused by changes in interest rates. See Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q.
Exposure to interest rate risk is reviewed at least quarterly by ALCO and the Board of Directors. Simulation models are used to measure interest rate risk and to evaluate strategies to improve profitability. A simplified statement of condition is prepared on a quarterly basis as a starting point, using instrument level data of our actual loans, investments, borrowings and deposits as inputs. If potential changes to net equity value and net interest income resulting from hypothetical interest rate changes are not within the limits established by the Board of Directors, Management may adjust the asset and liability mix to bring the risk position within approved limits.
In December 2015, the FOMC raised the target federal funds rate by 25 basis points to a range of 0.25% to 0.50%, from the historic low of 0.00% to 0.25%, which had been maintained since December 2008. The Bank currently has low interest rate risk. Net interest margin is expected to increase after interest rates go up, but there may be a lag between repricing of certain floating rate loans at their floors and increases in rates.
Based on our most recent simulation, net interest income is projected to decrease by approximately 0.1% in year one given an immediate 200 basis point increase in interest rates and increase by approximately 5% in year two. The interest rate risk is within policy guidelines established by ALCO and the Board of Directors.
ITEM 4. Controls
and Procedures
Bank of Marin Bancorp and its subsidiary (the "Company") conducted an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our Management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. The term disclosure controls and procedures means controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Act (15 U.S.C. 78a
