Balance Sheet Review
Total assets declined 1% to $705.0 million at December 31, 2013, compared to $715.7 million at September 30, 2013, and grew 10% from $643.6 million at year-end 2012.
Net loans increased 4%, or $18.4 million, to $496.3 million at quarter-end, from $477.9 million at September 30, 2013, and increased 13%, or $57.5 million, from $438.8 million at December 31, 2012.
"Loan demand continues to be robust despite a sizeable falloff in mortgage activity," said Denise Portmann, Chief Financial Officer and President of Bank of the Pacific. "Commercial and industrial and commercial real estate sectors, as well as one-to-four-unit residential investment properties highlight the loan portfolio growth. We continue to benefit from a diverse mix of business customers in different geographic locations." At the end of December 2013, owner-occupied commercial real estate loans represented 21% of the portfolio; investor-owned commercial real estate loans 23%; commercial and industrial loans 20%; residential real estate and multi-family loans 21%; construction and consumer loans together, totaling 10%; and farmland loans 5%.
Noninterest bearing deposits increased 26% at December 31, 2013, from the year prior, while savings and interest bearing demand deposits increased 14% over the same period.

Investment securities available-for-sale totaled $96.1 million at December 31, 2013, compared to $91.7 million at September 30, 2013, and $61.1 million a year earlier. At December 31, 2013, the securities portfolio, at amortized cost, included $31.2 million tax-exempt municipal bonds and $53.5 million agency mortgage-backed securities. The valuation of the securities is negatively impacted due to volatile interest rates.
Accumulated other comprehensive loss was $1.4 million at December 31, 2013, compared to a loss of $989,000 at September 30, 2013, and an accumulated other comprehensive income of $421,000 at the end of December 2012.

Credit Quality
"There was no provision for loan losses recorded in the third or fourth quarter of 2013. We had a recapture of $1.5 million in our provision in the fourth quarter of 2012, following the elimination of a specific reserve on an impaired loan. For the full year, we recaptured $450,000, compared to net charge-offs of $549,000 for 2013, demonstrating that our asset quality continues to improve significantly," added Denise Portmann. Nonperforming loans declined 10% to $7.2 million at December 31, 2013, from $8.1 million three months earlier, and dropped 52% compared to $15.1 million at December 31, 2012. Of the $7.2 million in outstanding nonperforming loans at the close of fourth quarter 2013, $1.8 million is guaranteed by the United States Department of Agriculture. The ratio of the allowance for credit losses to nonperforming loans was 115.41% at December 31, 2013, compared with 109.39% at September 30, 2013, and 61.92% at December 31, 2012.
Other real estate owned (OREO) and repossessed assets, consisting primarily of properties obtained through foreclosure, totaled $2.8 million at the end of the fourth quarter of 2013, substantially down from $4.7 million at the end of the fourth quarter of 2012. Net valuation adjustments in the fourth quarter of 2013 totaled $310,000. "We continue to have success in liquidating OREO properties, and sold eight OREO properties totaling $1.4 million, during the fourth quarter," commented Portmann. At December 31, 2013, the remaining OREO portfolio consisted of 17 individual properties.
Performing restructured loans totaled $2.7 million at December 31, 2013, no change from the end of third quarter 2013, compared to $444,000 at December 31, 2012. The allowance for credit losses was $8.4 million at year-end, representing 1.66% of total loans, compared to 1.81% at September 30, 2013 and 2.09% at December 31, 2012.
Review of Operations
Total revenue (net interest income plus noninterest income) for the fourth quarter was $8.2 million, level with the third quarter of 2013 and down slightly from $8.6 million in the like quarter a year ago.
Adding to operating income again this year was fee income generated from selling annuities. The Company generated $70,000 of fee income for the quarter and $320,000 for the full year.
Fourth quarter net interest income, before the provision for loan losses, was $6.3 million, up 4% from the preceding quarter and up 6% compared to $5.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2012. For the full year 2013, net interest income, before the provision for loan losses, was $23.8 million, compared to $24.0 million for 2012.
As a result of continued improving credit quality, there was no provision for credit losses in the third and fourth quarter of 2013, compared to the recovery of $1.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2012. For the full year 2013, there was a $450,000 recapture of previous provision, and there was a $1.1 million recapture for 2012.
Total noninterest income was $1.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2013, compared to $2.2 million in the preceding quarter and $2.7 million in the fourth quarter a year ago. For the year 2013, noninterest income increased 6% to $10.0 million, compared to $9.4 million in 2012. Gain on sales of loans declined 23% on a linked quarter basis and decreased 44% compared to fourth quarter 2012, but still contributed $865,000 in the fourth quarter of 2013. For the year 2013, gain on sales of loans increased 2% to $5.2 million from $5.1 million in 2012.
The net interest margin (NIM) increased 11 basis point to 3.91% in the fourth quarter of 2013, compared to 3.80% in the preceding quarter, and declined 21 basis points from 4.12% in the fourth quarter a year ago. For the full year 2013, the NIM was 3.88% compared to 4.20% in the twelve months of 2012. "On a linked quarter basis, the expansion in NIM was primarily due to deploying our lower yield securities into higher yielding loans," said Portmann. "The contraction in NIM on a year-over-year basis reflected lower reinvestment yields on investment securities, together with the growth in the securities portfolio. We continue to maintain a strong NIM in spite of downward pressure on assets yields."
Noninterest expense in the fourth quarter totaled $7.1 million, flat from the third quarter of 2013, and down 9% from $7.8 million in the fourth quarter a year ago. The decline in total noninterest expense from the year ago fourth quarter was primarily due to fewer write-downs of other-real-estate-owned (OREO), their associated operating costs, as well as lower salaries and employee benefits, offset in part by a 22% increase in occupancy and equipment expense related to recent business initiatives and maintenance costs.
For the full year 2013, noninterest expense was $29.5 million, compared to $28.4 million in 2012. The modest increase in noninterest expense for the full year was largely due to the impact of conversion-related expenses associated with the assimilation of the three coastal branches acquired from Sterling Bank early in 2013. These expenses were generally offset by reduced deposit insurance charges and lower expenses related to other-real-estate-owned (OREO) and related operating costs.
