HOME FEDERAL BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
SELECTED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements presented in this report include the accounts of Home Federal Bancorp, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Home Federal Bank (the “Bank”), which is a state-chartered commercial bank headquartered in Nampa, Idaho. As used throughout this report, the term the “Company” refers to Home Federal Bancorp, Inc., and its consolidated subsidiary, unless the context otherwise requires.

The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and are unaudited. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. In the opinion of the Company's management, all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial condition and results of operations for the interim periods included herein have been made. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for future periods.

On July 30, 2010, the Bank entered into a purchase and assumption agreement with the FDIC to assume all of the deposits and acquire certain assets of LibertyBank, headquartered in Eugene, Oregon (“LibertyBank Acquisition”). In August 2009, the Bank entered into a purchase and assumption agreement with the FDIC to assume all of the deposits and certain assets of Community First Bank, headquartered in Prineville, Oregon ( “CFB Acquisition”). All of the loans purchased in the CFB Acquisition and the majority of loans and leases purchased in the LibertyBank Acquisition are included under the loss sharing agreements with the FDIC and are referred to as “covered loans.” Real estate owned and repossessed assets (“REO”) acquired in the CFB Acquisition and the LibertyBank Acquisition that are also included in the loss sharing agreements are referred to as “covered REO.” The covered loans and covered REO are collectively referred to as “covered assets.” Loans and foreclosed and repossessed assets not subject to loss sharing agreements with the FDIC are referred to as “noncovered loans” or “noncovered assets.”

Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the Company's annual consolidated financial statements have been condensed or omitted. Therefore, these consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 (“2012 Form 10-K”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 15, 2013.

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year's financial statements in order to conform to the current year presentation. The reclassifications had no effect on previously reported net income or equity.

Note 2 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. This ASU requires an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, an entity is required to present, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income but only if the amount reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts that are not required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures required under U.S. GAAP that provide additional detail about these amounts. The new guidance was effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of this guidance did not have a significant impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements but the disclosures are included.

In October 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-06, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Subsequent Accounting for an Indemnification Asset Recognized at the Acquisition Date as a Result of a Government-Assisted Acquisition of a Financial Institution. ASU 2012-06 addresses the diversity in practice about how to interpret the terms “on the same basis” and “contractual limitations” when subsequently measuring an indemnification asset. The adoption of this ASU was effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning on or after December 15, 2012. This ASU did not have a

8



significant impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements as the Company accounted for its indemnification asset in a manner consistent with this ASU.

Note 3 – Earnings Per Share (“EPS”)

Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income allocated to common stock by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, which excludes the participating securities (securities that may participate in undistributed earnings with common stock). Diluted earnings per common share includes the dilutive effect of additional potential common shares from stock compensation awards, but excludes awards considered participating securities. ESOP shares are not considered outstanding for earnings per share purposes until they are committed to be released.

The following table presents the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the periods indicated (in thousands, except share and per share data):

Management has evaluated these investments and has determined that the decline in value is not other than temporary and not related to the underlying credit quality of the issuers or an industry specific event. The declines in value are on investments that have contractual maturity dates and future principal payments that will be sufficient to recover the current amortized cost of the investments. The Company does not have the intent to sell these investments and it is likely that it will not be required to sell these investments before their anticipated recovery.

The contractual maturities of investments available-for-sale at the dates indicated are shown below (in thousands). Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because borrowers have the right to prepay obligations without prepayment penalties.

Loan classification. The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. The Company analyzes loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk. This analysis is performed on a monthly basis. The Company uses the following definitions for risk classification ratings:
    
Watch. A loan is categorized as watch if it possesses some reason for additional management oversight, such as correctable documentation deficiencies, recent financial setbacks, deteriorating financial position, industry concerns, and failure to perform on other borrowing obligations. Loans with this classification are to be monitored in an effort to correct deficiencies and upgrade the credit if warranted. At the time of this classification, they are not believed to expose the Company to significant risk.

Special Mention. Performing loans that have developed minor credit weaknesses since origination are categorized as special mention. Evidence of credit weakness include the primary source of repayment has deteriorated and no longer meets debt service requirements as defined in Company policy, the borrower may have a short track record and little depth of management, inadequate current financial information, marginal capitalization, and susceptibility to negative industry trends. The primary source of repayment remains viable but there is increasing reliance on collateral or guarantor support.


14


Substandard. A loan is considered substandard if it is inadequately protected by the current net worth, liquidity and paying capacity of the borrower or collateral pledged. Substandard assets include those characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful. Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses present make collection or liquidation in full highly questionable and improbable on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values.
    
Loss. This classification of loans includes loans that are considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as an active asset is not warranted. This does not mean the loan has no salvage value, however, is neither desirable nor practical to defer writing off this asset at this time. Once a determination has been made that a loss exists, the loss amount will be charged-off. As a result, generally, the Company will not report loan balances as “Loss.”

Pass. Loans not meeting the criteria above are considered to be pass rated loans. The pass classification also includes homogeneous loans (such as one-to-four family residential and consumer loans) unless the borrower experiences a delinquency or requests a modification, at which point the loan is graded as specified above.

As of September 30, 2013, and December 31, 2012, and based on the most recent analysis performed, the risk category of loans by class of loans was as follows (in thousands):

Troubled Debt Restructuring (TDR). The internal process used to assess whether a modification should be reported and accounted for as a TDR includes an assessment of the borrower's payment history, considering whether the borrower is in financial difficulty, whether a concession has been granted, and whether it is likely the borrower will be able to perform under the modified terms. The modification of the terms of such loans generally includes one or a combination of the following: a reduction of the stated interest rate of the loan; an extension of the maturity date at a stated rate of interest lower than the current market rate for the new debt with similar risk; or a permanent reduction of the recorded investment in the loan.

TDRs totaled $8.2 million and $11.8 million at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, and are included in the impaired loan disclosures in this footnote. Of these amounts, $340,000 and $338,000 were covered under loss sharing agreements with the FDIC at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. The Company has allocated $485,000 of specific reserves to customers whose loan terms have been modified in TDRs at September 30, 2013, compared to $676,000 at December 31, 2012. There were no commitments to lend additional amounts to customers with outstanding loans that are classified as TDRs.

Modifications to loans not accounted for as TDRs totaled $127,000 at September 30, 2013, of which $70,000 was in the noncovered loan portfolio. These loans were not considered to be TDRs because the borrower was not under financial difficulty at the time of the modification or extension. Extensions are made at market rates as evidenced by comparison to newly originated loans of generally comparable credit quality and structure.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, there were five new TDRs with pre-modification and post-modification balance of $218,000. Each involved an extension of a maturity, and, in four cases, a reduction in rate of between 1.0% and 2.0%. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, there were fourteen new TDRs. The modifications, nine of which involved one customer relationship, involved extensions of the maturity dates by up to two years. None of the modifications involved a charge-off of a loan, although there are specific impairments on two of the loans totaling $290,000. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company did not incur payment defaults on loans that had been modified within twelve months of those dates. A default on a TDR results in either a transfer to nonaccrual status or a charge-off.

Purchased Credit Impaired Loans. The Bank has purchased loans, for which there was, at acquisition, evidence of deterioration of credit quality since origination and it was probable, at acquisition, that all contractually required payments would not be collected. At the acquisition date, management estimated the fair value of the acquired loan portfolios which represented the expected cash flows from the portfolio discounted at a market-based rate. Included in the estimate of fair value was a discount credit adjustment that reflected expected credit losses. In estimating the preliminary fair value, management calculated the contractual amount and timing of undiscounted principal and interest payments (the “undiscounted contractual cash flows”) and estimated the amount and timing of undiscounted expected principal and interest payments (the “undiscounted expected cash flows”). The amount by which the undiscounted expected cash flows exceed the estimated fair value (the “accretable yield”) is accreted into interest income over the life of the loans. The difference between the undiscounted contractual cash flows and the undiscounted expected cash flows is the nonaccretable difference. The nonaccretable difference represents an estimate of the credit risk in the acquired loan and lease portfolio at the acquisition date.

The carrying amount of loans for which income is not being recognized on loans individually accounted for under ASC 310-30 totaled $1.6 million and $2.0 million at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, which were purchased in the CFB Acquisition. The carrying amount of purchased credit impaired loans acquired in the CFB Acquisition totaled $2.0 million and $2.4 million at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. At September 30, 2013, purchased credit impaired loans acquired in the LibertyBank Acquisition totaled $37.6 million.

The allowance for loan losses on loans accounted for under ASC 310-30 was $1.8 million and $2.6 million at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. During the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, provisions for loan losses on loans accounted for under ASC 310-30 totaled $34,000 and $486,000, respectively. Reductions in the allowance for loan losses on loans accounted for under ASC 310-30 due to increases in estimated cash flows totaled $240,000 and $28,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

23


During the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, provision for loan losses on loans accounted for under ASC 310-30 totaled $294,000 and $821,000, respectively. Reductions in the allowance for loan losses on loans accounted for under ASC 310-30 due to increases in estimated cash flows totaled $1.1 million and $521,000 during nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Note 6 – Fair Value Measurement

Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values:

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

Level 2 – Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs for determining the fair values of assets or liabilities that reflect an entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.

The Company used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate fair value:

Investments. The fair values for investments are determined by quoted market prices, if available (Level 1). For investments where quoted prices are not available, fair values are calculated based on market prices of similar investments (Level 2).

Impaired Loans. The fair value of impaired loans is generally based on recent collateral appraisals if the loan is collateral-based or on a cash flow analysis if repayment of the loan is generally dependent on the cash flow of the borrower. The collateral appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Collateral appraisals on loans secured by one-to-four family residential properties are updated when the loan becomes 120 days past due, or earlier if circumstances indicate the borrower will be unable to repay the loan under the terms of the note. Additionally, appraisals are updated if the borrower requests a modification to their loan. On commercial real estate and multifamily loans, appraisals are updated upon a determination that the borrower will be unable to repay the loan according to the terms of the note or upon a notice of default, whichever is earlier. Appraisals are updated on all loan types immediately prior to a foreclosure sale and at least annually thereafter once the collateral title has been transferred to the Bank. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are usually adjustments to the sales price of the comparable properties, as deemed appropriate by the appraiser, based on the age, condition, location or general characteristics of the subject property. If the income approach is used by an appraiser, a discount rate or a “capitalization rate” is applied to estimated net operating income for the income producing property. This capitalization rate is applied to estimate the fair value of the property. Capitalization rates vary based on the type of property (e.g., office, warehouse, retail) and local market dynamics (e.g., population, employment, absorption or saturation of specific property types), among other factors.

Real Estate Owned. Nonrecurring adjustments to certain commercial and residential real estate properties classified as REO are measured at fair value, less costs to sell. Fair values are based on recent real estate appraisals. At least semi-annually, all REO is evaluated and the respective carrying balances are adjusted downward if warranted. Appraisals may use a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are usually significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. These valuation techniques and adjustments are described in greater detail above under “Impaired Loans.” Management will typically discount appraised values by 8.5%, which is based on historical experience to estimate selling costs, when determining the fair value of REO.

Additionally, certain assets are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. These adjustments to fair value generally result from the application of lower-of-cost-or-market accounting or write-downs of individual assets due to impairment.

At September 30, 2013, impaired loans, which are measured for impairment using the fair value of the collateral, had a carrying amount of $5.8 million, net of specific valuation allowances totaling $517,000. At December 31, 2012, impaired loans at fair value had a carrying amount of $6.8 million, net of specific allowances totaling $792,000. Included in the value of impaired loans presented above at September 30, 2013 was $4.0 million of loans that have been charged down to fair value. During the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the specific valuation allowance on impaired loans required a reduction of $10,000 and $268,000, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the specific valuation allowance on impaired loans required a reduction of $275,000 and $367,000, respectively

REO is recorded at estimated fair value less costs to sell and had a carrying amount of $2.3 million at September 30, 2013, which was comprised of the outstanding balance of $2.3 million, with no valuation allowance. At December 31, 2012, REO measured at fair value less costs to sell had a carrying value of $8.8 million, which was comprised of the outstanding balance of $8.8 million, with no valuation allowance. The provision for declines in the value of REO totaled $1,000 and $56,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the provision for declines in the value of REO totaled $644,000 and $454,000, respectively. The provisions for the declines in the value of REO includes impairment on REO measured at fair value and REO properties sold during the periods.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments:

Cash and Cash Equivalents. The carrying amount approximates fair value and are classified as Level 1.

Loans Receivable. Fair values for all performing loans are estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis, utilizing interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality resulting in a Level 3 classification. In addition, the fair value reflects the decrease in loan values as estimated in the allowance for loan losses calculation. Leases are excluded from the table above. The methods utilized to estimate the fair value of loans do not necessarily represent a liquidation price.

FDIC Indemnification Asset. Fair value is estimated using the net present value of estimated cash flows resulting in a Level 3 classification.

Accrued Interest Receivable. The carrying amount approximates fair value resulting in a Level 1, 2 or 3 classification, consistent with the underlying assets.

Deposits. The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts and certain money market deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date resulting in a Level 1 classification. The fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities resulting in a Level 2 classification.

Repurchase Agreements. The fair value of these borrowings is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rate at which similar borrowings with similar remaining maturities could be made resulting in a Level 2 classification.

Advances by Borrowers for Taxes and Insurance. The carrying amount approximates fair value as it is the amount payable on the reporting date resulting in a Level 1 classification.

Accrued Interest Payable. The carrying amount approximates fair value.

27



Off-Balance Sheet Instruments. Fair values of off-balance-sheet lending commitments are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the borrower’s credit standing. The fair value of the fees at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 were insignificant.

For estimated losses on covered assets purchased in the CFB Acquisition, amounts receivable from the FDIC have been estimated at 80% of losses on covered assets (acquired loans and REO) up to $34.0 million. Reimbursable losses in excess of $34.0 million have been estimated at 95% of the amount recoverable from the FDIC. For estimated losses on covered assets purchased in the LibertyBank Acquisition, amounts receivable from the FDIC have been estimated at 80% of losses on all covered assets.

Note 8 – Subsequent Events

On October 23, 2013, the Company announced that it entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (“Cascade Agreement”) with Cascade Bancorp (“Cascade”), whereby the Company will be merged into Cascade and the Bank will be merged into Cascade's subsidiary, Bank of the Cascades. The Company previously announced on September 24, 2013, that it entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (“Banner Agreement”) with Banner Corporation (“Banner”). Subject to the terms of the Banner Agreement, the Board of Directors of the Company determined the Cascade Agreement constituted a Superior Proposal. On October 23, 2013, immediately prior to the execution of the Cascade Agreement, the Company terminated the Banner Agreement and paid Banner a Reduced Termination Fee (as defined in the Banner Agreement) of $3.0 million. The Reduced Termination Fee will be recorded by the Company as a noninterest expense during the quarter ending December 31, 2013. The Cascade Agreement is subject to approval by the shareholders of Cascade and the Company, approval by the appropriate regulatory agencies, and other customary terms and conditions as described in the Cascade Agreement. The Cascade Agreement was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an exhibit to a Current Report on Form 8-K/A on November 8, 2013.

other economic, competitive, governmental, regulatory, and technological factors affecting our operations, pricing, products and services and the other risks described as detailed from time to time in our filings with the SEC, including our 2012 Form 10-K. Such developments could have an adverse impact on our financial position and our results of operations.

Any of the forward-looking statements that we make in this report and in other public statements may turn out to be wrong because of inaccurate assumptions we might make because of the factors illustrated above or because of other factors that we cannot foresee. Because of these and other uncertainties, our actual future results may be materially different from the results indicated by these forward-looking statements and you should not rely on such statements. We undertake no obligation to publish revised forward-looking statements to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events or circumstances after the date hereof. These risks could cause our actual results for 2013 and beyond to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements by or on behalf of us, and could negatively affect our financial condition, liquidity, operating results and stock price.

As used throughout this report, the terms “we”, “our”, “us” or the “Company” refer to Home Federal Bancorp, Inc., and its consolidated subsidiary, Home Federal Bank, unless the context otherwise requires.

Background and Overview

Home Federal Bancorp, Inc., is a Maryland corporation that serves as the holding company for Home Federal Bank (the “Bank”). The Company's common stock is traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol “HOME” and is included in the U.S. Russell 2000® Index.

The Bank is a state-chartered, FDIC-insured commercial bank and is a community-oriented financial institution dedicated to serving the financial service needs of businesses and consumers within its market areas. The Bank's primary business is attracting deposits from the general public and using these funds to originate loans. The Bank emphasizes the direct origination of commercial business loans, commercial real estate loans, construction and residential development loans, and consumer loans.

On August 7, 2009, the Bank entered into a purchase and assumption agreement with loss sharing agreements with the FDIC to assume nearly all of the deposits and certain other liabilities and acquire certain assets, including loans and real estate owned and other repossessed assets (“REO”) of Community First Bank, a full service commercial bank, headquartered in Prineville, Oregon (the “CFB Acquisition”). The loans and REO purchased are covered by loss sharing agreements between the FDIC and the Bank, which afford the Bank significant protection. Under the loss sharing agreements, the Bank will share in the losses and certain reimbursable expenses on assets covered under the agreement. The FDIC has agreed to reimburse the Bank for 80% of losses and certain reimbursable expenses on the first $34.0 million of losses on assets covered under the agreements, and 95% of losses that exceed that amount on covered assets.

On July 30, 2010, the Bank entered into a purchase and assumption agreement with the FDIC to assume all of the deposits and certain other liabilities and acquire certain assets of LibertyBank, headquartered in Eugene, Oregon (the “LibertyBank Acquisition”). Nearly all of the loans and REO purchased in the LibertyBank Acquisition are covered by loss sharing agreements. The FDIC has agreed to reimburse tBank for 80% of losses and certain reimbursable expenses on covered assets.

Loans and REO purchased in these acquisitions are referred to herein as “covered loans” or “covered assets.” Loans and REO not subject to loss sharing agreements with the FDIC are referred to as “noncovered loans” or “noncovered assets.”

Nearly all of the remaining covered assets qualify as non-single family covered assets. Therefore, losses and expenses on most of the covered assets will no longer be covered after September 2014 for assets purchased in the CFB Acquisition and September 2015 for assets purchased in the LibertyBank Acquisition. Indemnification for losses on all other covered assets will continue for five years after these dates. Management is communicating with the FDIC and planning for the expiration of the indemnification for losses on non-single family loans.

At September 30, 2013, the Bank primarily operated in three distinct market regions including Boise, Idaho, and surrounding communities, which we refer to as the Idaho Region. The CFB Acquisition resulted in the Bank's entrance to the Tri-County Region of Central Oregon, including the counties of Crook, Deschutes and Jefferson. We refer to this market as the Central Oregon Region. In addition to deepening its presence in Central Oregon, as a result of the

30



LibertyBank Acquisition the Bank also operates in Lane, Josephine, Jackson, and Multnomah counties in Oregon, including the communities of Eugene, Grants Pass and Medford, Oregon. We refer to these markets as our Western Oregon Region. In March 2013, we opened a construction loan production office in Salt Lake City, Utah, which is managed by our Builder Finance Team in Boise. At September 30, 2013, the Bank had 24 full-service branches and three loan production offices located in Portland and Bend, Oregon, and Salt Lake City, Utah.

The Company reported net income of $1.1 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 2013, compared to net income of $322,000, or $0.02 per diluted share, for the same period a year ago. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company reported net income of $2.1 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, compared to net income of $1.6 million, or $0.11 per diluted share for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The following items summarize key activities of the Company during the quarter ended September 30, 2013:

On October 23, 2013, the Company announced the signing of a definitive merger agreement (“Cascade Agreement”) with Cascade Bancorp (“Cascade”). Under the terms of the Cascade Agreement, Cascade will acquire the Company, subject to regulatory approval, approval by the stockholders of the Company and Cascade, and other customary conditions of closing.
Previously, on September 24, 2013, the Company entered into a merger agreement (“Banner Agreement”) with Banner Corporation (“Banner”). The Company terminated the Banner Agreement on October 23, 2013, and paid a termination fee of $3.0 million, pre-tax, to Banner. The Company will record this expense in its fourth quarter. The Banner Agreement was terminated pursuant to its terms because the Company’s Board of Directors determined the Cascade offer was a Superior Proposal, as defined in the Banner Agreement.
Net interest income decreased $898,000 compared to the linked quarter ended June 30, 2013, due primarily to a reduction of accretable yield on purchased loans;
Net reverse provisions for loan losses of $(281,000) and $(689,000) were recorded on noncovered loans and covered loans, respectively, during the three months ended September 30, 2013, resulting in a net reverse provision of $(970,000). Noninterest income includes a provision of $648,000 estimated to be due to the FDIC related to the reverse provision on covered loans;
Noninterest income during the three months ended September 30, 2013, included impairment of the FDIC indemnification asset of $1.2 million, which was a result of a reduction in estimated future losses on covered loans and recoveries of previously charged-off loans. The impairment of the FDIC indemnification asset was $2.3 million in the linked quarter and $3.0 million in the year-ago quarter;
The Company did not realize gains on the sale of investments during the quarter ended September 30, 2013, compared to gains of $231,000 and $79,000 in the linked and year-ago quarters, respectively;
Noninterest expense decreased by $553,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2013, compared to the year-ago quarter, and by $464,000 compared to the linked quarter. Noninterest expenses totaled $9.9 million during the third quarter of 2013, which included $314,000 of expenses related to acquisition activities;
Total assets increased $8.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2013, compared to June 30, 2013, but decreased $32.8 million since December 31, 2012;
Net loans increased $13.0 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2013;
Asset quality continued to improve as delinquent loans declined and remained low and noncovered nonperforming assets declined $2.3 million to $6.5 million at September 30, 2013, compared to June 30, 2013. Total nonperforming assets decreased $2.7 million during the quarter to $15.5 million at September 30, 2013; and
The Company declared and paid its regular quarterly dividend of $0.06 per share.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Related Accounting Policies

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements. Changes in these estimates and assumptions are considered reasonably possible and may have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements, and thus actual results could differ from the amounts reported and disclosed herein. Management has identified several accounting policies that, due to the judgments, estimates and assumptions inherent in those policies, are critical to an understanding of the Company's consolidated financial statements. These policies relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses (including the evaluation of impaired loans and the associated provision for loan losses), accounting for acquired loans and covered assets, the valuation of real estate owned, as well as deferred income taxes and the associated income tax expense.


31



Allowance for Loan Losses. Management recognizes that losses may occur over the life of a loan and that the allowance for loan losses must be maintained at a level necessary to absorb specific losses on impaired loans and probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio. Management assesses the allowance for loan losses on a quarterly basis by analyzing several factors including delinquency rates, charge-off rates and the changing risk profile of the Company’s loan portfolio, as well as local economic conditions such as unemployment rates, bankruptcies and vacancy rates of business and residential properties.

The Company believes that the accounting estimate related to the allowance for loan losses is a critical accounting estimate because it is highly susceptible to change from period to period, requiring management to make assumptions about probable incurred losses inherent in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date. The impact of a sudden large loss could deplete the allowance and require increased provisions to replenish the allowance, which would negatively affect earnings.

The Company’s methodology for analyzing the allowance for loan losses consists of specific allocations on certain individual loans and a general allowance amount, which considers a range of loss scenarios. The specific allowance component is determined when management believes that the collectability of an individually-reviewed loan has been impaired and a loss of principal is probable. The general allowance component relates to assets with no well-defined deficiency or weakness and takes into consideration loss that is inherent within the portfolio but has not been identified. The general allowance is determined by applying a historical loss percentage to various types of loans with similar characteristics and classified loans that are not analyzed specifically. Adjustments are made to historical loss percentages to reflect current economic and internal environmental factors such as changes in underwriting standards and unemployment rates that may increase or decrease those loss factors. As a result of the imprecision in calculating inherent and potential losses, a range of loss scenarios is also considered in estimating the general allowance to provide an allowance for loan losses that is adequate to cover losses that may arise as a result of changing or unforeseen qualitative factors.

The allowance for loan losses is increased by the provision for loan losses, which is charged against current period operating results and decreased by the amount of actual loan charge-offs, net of recoveries. Provisions for losses on covered loans are recorded gross of recoverable amounts from the FDIC under the loss sharing agreements. The recoverable portion of the provision for loan losses on covered loans is recorded in other income.

The allowance for loan losses on noncovered originated loans consists of specific reserves allocated to individually reviewed loans and general reserves on all other noncovered originated loans. A general allowance for loan losses is recorded on loans purchased in the CFB Acquisition that are not accounted for under ASC 310-30. Loans purchased in the CFB Acquisition that are accounted for under ASC 310-30 are partially charged down to the estimated net recoverable value if estimated losses exceed the fair value discount established on the acquisition date. Lastly, an allowance for loans purchased in the LibertyBank Acquisition is established on individual loan pools if the net present value of estimated cash flows expected to be received for loans in an acquired loan pool become impaired.

Acquired Loans. Loans acquired in the CFB Acquisition were valued as of the acquisition date in accordance with SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations. At the time of the CFB Acquisition, the Company applied SFAS No. 141, which was superseded by SFAS No. 141(R). The Company was not permitted to adopt SFAS No. 141(R) prior to its effective date, which was October 1, 2009, due to the Company’s September fiscal year end at that time. ASC Topic 310-30 applies to a loan with evidence of deterioration of credit quality since origination, acquired by completion of a transfer for which it is probable, at acquisition, that the investor will be unable to collect all contractually required payments receivable. For loans purchased in the CFB Acquisition that were accounted for under ASC 310-30, management determined the value of the loan portfolio based on work provided by an appraiser. Factors considered in the valuation were projected cash flows for the loans, type of loan and related collateral, classification status and current discount rates. Management also estimated the amount of credit losses that were expected to be realized for the loan portfolio primarily by estimating the liquidation value of collateral securing loans on non-accrual status or classified as substandard or doubtful. Loans purchased in the CFB Acquisition accounted for under ASC 310-30 were not aggregated into pools and are accounted for on a loan-by-loan basis. An allowance for loan losses was established for loans purchased in the CFB Acquisition not accounted for under ASC 310-30.

Loans purchased in the LibertyBank Acquisition were valued as of the acquisition date in accordance with ASC 805 Business Combinations, formerly SFAS 141(R). Further, the Company elected to account for all other loans purchased in the LibertyBank Acquisition within the scope of ASC 310-30 using the same methodology. Under ASC 805 and ASC 310-30, loans purchased in the LibertyBank Acquisition were recorded at fair value at the acquisition date, factoring

32



in credit losses expected to be incurred over the life of the loan. Accordingly, an allowance for loan losses is not carried over or recorded as of the acquisition date, unlike the loans purchased in the CFB Acquisition, which are accounted for under previous guidance as described above. In situations where loans have similar risk characteristics, loans were aggregated into pools to estimate cash flows under ASC 310-30. A pool is accounted for as a single asset with a single interest rate, cumulative loss rate and cash flow expectation. The Company aggregated all of the loans purchased in the LibertyBank Acquisition into 22 different pools, based on common risk characteristics such as loan classification, loan structure, nonaccrual status and collateral type.

The cash flows expected over the life of the pools are estimated using an internal cash flow model that projects cash flows and calculates the carrying values of the pools, book yields, effective interest income and impairment, if any, based on pool level events. Assumptions as to cumulative loss rates, loss curves and prepayment speeds are utilized to calculate the expected cash flows. Under ASC 310-30, the excess of the expected cash flows at acquisition over the fair value is considered to be the accretable yield and is recognized as interest income over the life of the loan or pool. The excess of the contractual cash flows over the expected cash flows is considered to be the nonaccretable difference. Subsequent increases in cash flow over those expected at purchase date in excess of fair value are recorded as an adjustment to accretable difference on a prospective basis. Any subsequent decreases in cash flow over those expected at the purchase date are recognized by recording an allowance for loan losses. Any disposals of loans, including sales of loans, payments in full or foreclosures result in the removal of the loan from the ASC 310-30 portfolio at the carrying amount.

Covered Assets. All of the loans purchased in the CFB Acquisition and nearly all of loans and leases purchased in the LibertyBank Acquisition are included under various loss sharing agreements with the FDIC and are referred to as “covered loans.” Covered loans, and provisions for loan losses, charge offs and recoveries, are reported exclusive of the expected cash flow reimbursements expected from the FDIC. All REO acquired in the CFB Acquisition and the LibertyBank Acquisition are also included in the loss sharing agreements and are referred to as “covered REO.” Covered REO is reported exclusive of expected reimbursement cash flows from the FDIC. Fair value adjustments on covered REO result in a reduction of the covered REO carrying amount and a corresponding increase in the estimated FDIC reimbursement, with the estimated net loss to the Bank charged against earnings. The Bank is reimbursed by the FDIC on losses and reimbursable expenses on covered assets purchased in the CFB Acquisition at a rate of 80% on the first $34.0 million of losses and at a rate of 95% on losses thereafter. The Bank is reimbursed by the FDIC on losses and reimbursable expenses on covered assets purchased in the LibertyBank Acquisition at a rate of 80%.

FDIC Indemnification Asset. In conjunction with the CFB Acquisition and the LibertyBank Acquisition, the Bank entered into loss sharing agreements with the FDIC for amounts receivable under the loss sharing agreements. In some cases the FDIC indemnification agreement may be terminated on a loan by loan basis if the Bank renews or extends individual loans. At each acquisition date the Company elected to account for amounts receivable under the loss sharing agreements as an indemnification asset. Subsequent to the acquisition date, the indemnification asset is tied to the loss in the covered loans and is not accounted for at fair value. The FDIC indemnification asset is accounted for on the same basis as the related covered loans and represents the present value of the cash flows the Company expects to collect from the FDIC under the loss sharing agreements. If losses in future periods are projected to decline, the indemnification asset is reduced over the shorter of the life of the underlying loan (or pool of loans) or the indemnification period. The difference between the present value and the undiscounted cash flow the Company expects to collect from the FDIC is accreted or amortized into noninterest income over the life of the FDIC indemnification asset.

The FDIC indemnification asset is adjusted for any changes in expected cash flows based on the loan performance. Any increases in cash flow of the loans over those expected will reduce the FDIC indemnification asset, and any decreases in cash flow of the loans over those expected will increase the FDIC indemnification asset. The FDIC indemnification asset will be reduced as losses are recognized on covered assets, if losses in future periods are projected to decline, and loss sharing payments are received from the FDIC. Increases and decreases to the FDIC indemnification asset are recorded as adjustments to noninterest income.

Noncovered Real Estate Owned. Real estate properties acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure that are not covered under a loss sharing agreement with the FDIC (noncovered REO) are initially recorded at fair value at the date of foreclosure minus estimated costs to sell, which establishes a new cost basis carrying value. Any valuation adjustments required at the time of foreclosure are charged to the allowance for loan losses. After foreclosure, the properties are carried at the lower of carrying value or fair value less estimated costs to sell. Any subsequent valuation adjustments, operating expenses or income, and gains and losses on disposition of such properties are recognized in current operations. The Company generally updates REO appraisal information at least semi-annually.

Deferred Income Taxes. The Company and its subsidiary file a consolidated U.S. federal income tax return, as well as various state income tax returns. Income taxes, including deferred income taxes, are computed using the asset and liability approach as prescribed in ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes. Under this method a deferred tax asset or liability is determined based on the enacted tax rates which are expected to be in effect when the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and tax basis of existing assets and liabilities are expected to be reported in the Company's income tax returns. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Under this guidance, a valuation allowance is required to be recognized if it is “more likely than not” that all or a portion of our deferred tax assets will not be realized.

COMPARISON OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AT SEPTEMBER 30, 2013 AND DECEMBER 31, 2012

Total assets decreased $32.8 million, or 3.1%, to $1.0 billion at September 30, 2013, from December 31, 2012. Total liabilities decreased $23.2 million, or 2.7%, to $845.7 million.

Cash and Amounts Due From Depository Institutions. The $13.3 million decrease in cash and cash equivalents to $102.3 million at September 30, 2013 from $115.5 million at December 31, 2012, was due to the purchase of investments and payments on maturing certificates of deposit that were not renewed, reflecting our strategy of allowing higher cost certificates of deposit to decline. We anticipate, subject to market conditions, that we will maintain higher than average liquidity due to the potential of rising interest rates and to provide flexibility for dividends.

Since 2008, we have placed excess cash balances with the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco (“Federal Reserve Bank”) in order to reduce credit risk exposure to other financial institutions. Balances on deposit at the Federal Reserve Bank totaled $93.2 million and $105.0 million at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. Currently, balances on deposit with the Federal Reserve Bank that are in excess of our required reserve balances earn interest at a rate that approximates the federal funds rate. In 2009, in response to the national banking crisis, the Federal Reserve Board amended Regulation D, which established excess balance accounts. Previously, excess balances on deposit with the Federal Reserve Bank did not earn interest. The excess balance accounts are intended to be temporary accounts to assist financial institutions during the economic crisis. We consider excess reserve balances at the Federal Reserve Bank to be the more attractive alternative to other short-term investments due to low credit risk and comparatively higher yield to investments with less than one year to maturity. While the Federal Reserve Board has not set a date for expiration of these accounts, we could experience a decline in interest income once the Federal Reserve Bank discontinues interest payments on excess balances. If these accounts expire, we may place excess cash in interest-bearing deposits with other financial institutions that do not have a guarantee from the U.S. Government, or we may purchase additional investments.
                    
Investments. Investments decreased $6.5 million, or 1.5% to $414.0 million at September 30, 2013 from $420.5 million at December 31, 2012. We have given preference to medium-term securities in anticipation of rising interest rates. We estimate the effective duration of our investment portfolio to be 4.7 years at September 30, 2013, compared to 3.0 years at December 31, 2012. The increase in the estimated effective duration compared to December 31, 2012 was primarily due to the purchase of long-term U.S. Treasury bonds and higher long-term interest rates that reduce the likelihood of prepayments on mortgage-backed securities.

As noted earlier, we are holding a higher level of cash than is necessary rather than investing in short-term securities or investments with less than two years to maturity due to the low interest rate environment and the incremental credit and interest rate risk incurred compared to the interest rate earned on balances held at the Federal Reserve Bank. We believe this strategy also serves to shorten the overall duration of the Bank's assets. At September 30, 2013, we estimate cash flow from the investment portfolio to be $17.0 million through December 31, 2013.


34



The after-tax net unrealized gain on investments available-for-sale of $8.2 million at December 31, 2012, which is recorded in equity as accumulated other comprehensive income, declined to a net loss of $3.0 million at September 30, 2013. The decrease in the fair value of our investments was related to the increase in market interest rates during the first nine months of 2013. We estimate, as of September 30, 2013, that an immediate, parallel increase in market interest rates of 100 basis points from the level rates at September 30, 2013, would cause the fair value of our investments available-for-sale to decline by 4.71%, or approximately $24.4 million, before income taxes.

Most of the Company’s mortgage-backed securities were issued by U.S. Government-sponsored enterprises such as Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae. While the U.S. Government has affirmed its support for government-sponsored enterprises and the mortgage-backed securities they issued, significant deterioration in their financial strength or a change in the organizational structure of these agencies may have a material effect on the valuation and performance of the Company’s mortgage-backed securities portfolio.

Loans and Leases. Loans receivable, net, decreased $8.0 million to $401.8 million at September 30, 2013, from $409.8 million at December 31, 2012. Declines in nonperforming loans comprised $5.4 million of the reduction in net loans. One-to-four family residential loans declined $15.8 million, or 18.0% between December 31, 2012 and September 30, 2013. The reduction of one-to-four family residential loans was consistent with our strategy to reduce the portfolio’s concentration in those loans in favor of increasing the mix of commercial business and commercial real estate loans in order to improve interest rate sensitivity and net interest margin.

Real estate construction loans increased $15.2 million, or 39.1%, between December 31, 2012 and September 30, 2013. One-to-four family residential construction increased $11.3 million and multifamily residential construction increased $4.1 million. Construction of single family residences increased in 2013, particularly in our Idaho Region. We opened a construction loan production office in Portland, Oregon, in 2012 and another construction loan production office in Salt Lake City, Utah, in March 2013, which has also helped to increase the origination of construction loans. The recent increase in long-term market interest rates caused mortgage loan rates to rise during the second and third quarters of 2013. If mortgage rates remain at an elevated level, the housing market could slow down, resulting in a reduced demand for newly constructed single-family homes, which could reduce originations of one-to-four family construction loans.

Home equity loans declined $3.8 million to $38.0 million at September 30, 2013 from $41.8 million at December 31, 2012. Commercial business loans increased $173,000 or 0.6% to $29.4 million at September 30, 2013 from $29.2 million at December 31, 2012 despite the fact the loan and lease portfolio in the Bank's leasing subsidiary continues to decline as we wind-down operations. Loans and leases, net, in the Bank's leasing subsidiary totaled $1.5 million at September 30, 2013, compared to $5.0 million at December 31, 2012.

Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses was $10.6 million at September 30, 2013, compared to $12.5 million at December 31, 2012. The allowance for loan losses on the noncovered loan portfolio was 2.27% of noncovered loans at September 30, 2013, with only $517,000 of the $7.8 million allowance for losses on noncovered loans specifically-allocated to impaired noncovered loans. During the three months ended September 30, 2013 we experienced net recoveries of $51,000 on noncovered loans and $403,000 on covered loans.

Loans delinquent 30 to 89 days and still accruing interest totaled $492,000 at September 30, 2013, compared to $809,000 at December 31, 2012. Nonperforming assets, which include nonaccrual loans and REO, totaled $15.5 million at September 30, 2013, compared to $24.8 million at December 31, 2012. Nonperforming noncovered loans totaled $5.2 million at September 30, 2013, compared to $9.6 million at December 31, 2012. Total nonperforming loans declined $5.4 million from December 31, 2012 to September 30, 2013.

Continued improvement in asset quality metrics, including declines in delinquent and nonperforming loans, and the absence of meaningful charge-offs has resulted in reverse provisions for loan losses during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, thereby reducing the balance of the allowance for loan losses.

We consider the allowance for loans losses at September 30, 2013, to be our best estimate of probable incurred losses inherent in the loan portfolio as of that date based on the assessment of the above-mentioned factors affecting the loan portfolio. While we believe the estimates and assumptions used in the determination of the allowance are reasonable, there can be no assurance that such estimates and assumptions will not be proven incorrect in the future, or that the actual amount of future provisions will not exceed the amount of past provisions or that any increased provision that may be required will not adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the determination of the amount of our allowance for loan losses is subject to review by bank regulators, as part of the routine examination process, which may result in the establishment of additional reserves based upon their judgment of information available to them at the time of their examination.

FDIC Indemnification Asset. As part of the purchase and assumption agreements for the acquisitions, we entered into loss sharing agreements with the FDIC. These agreements cover realized losses and certain related expenses on covered assets purchased from the FDIC. The decrease in the FDIC indemnification receivable to $6.1 million at September 30, 2013 compared to $10.8 million at December 31, 2012, was primarily due to the net reduction in estimated future losses on covered assets, which caused impairment charges of $5.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The impairment in the FDIC indemnification asset recognizes the decreased amount that the Company expects to collect from the FDIC under the terms of its loss sharing agreements due to lower expected losses on covered assets recognized in noninterest income.

The loss sharing agreements will expire five years after the acquisition date for non-single family covered assets and ten years after the acquisition date for single-family covered assets. After the expiration of the loss sharing agreements, the Company will not be indemnified for losses and related expenses on covered assets. Additionally, the Company's and the Bank's risk-based capital ratios will be reduced comparatively after expiration of the loss sharing agreements as covered assets currently receive a 20% risk-weighting. After the agreements expire, the risk-weighting for previously covered assets will most likely increase to 100%, based on current regulatory capital definitions. Nearly all of the assets remaining in the covered asset portfolios qualify as non-single family covered assets. Therefore, most of the covered assets will no longer be indemnified after September 2014 for assets purchased in the CFB Acquisition and September 2015 for assets purchased in the LibertyBank Acquisition.

Real Estate and Other Repossessed Assets. REO declined $3.9 million to $6.5 million at September 30, 2013 from $10.4 million at December 31, 2012 due to the sale of foreclosed assets and provisions for REO during that period. Covered REO totaled $5.2 million at September 30, 2013, compared to $6.1 million at December 31, 2012. Noncovered REO totaled $1.3 million at September 30, 2013, compared to $4.3 million at December 31, 2012.


36



Deferred Tax Assets, net. Deferred taxes, net, increased to $15.9 million at September 30, 2013, from $9.0 million at December 31, 2012, primarily due to the decline in the fair value of investments available-for-sale. At December 31, 2012, the investment portfolio, which is recorded at fair value, carried a gain of $13.4 million compared to an unrealized loss of $4.9 million at September 30, 2013. As a result, the deferred tax liability on the unrealized gain changed to a deferred tax asset on the net unrealized loss at September 30, 2013.

Deposits. Deposits decreased $19.1 million, or 2.2%, to $831.8 million at September 30, 2013, from $850.9 million at December 31, 2012, primarily through the managed reduction of higher-rate certificates of deposit. An increase in noninterest-bearing demand and savings account balances caused an increase in core deposits (defined as demand, money market and saving accounts) of $11.8 million during the first nine months of 2013.

Since market interest rates remain very low and our liquidity remains high, we have reduced our deposit rates to continue to reduce certificates of deposit and our cost of funds. As a result, certificates of deposit declined $30.9 million since December 31, 2012, to $178.3 million at September 30, 2013. While core deposits at September 30, 2013 increased $11.8 million compared to December 31, 2012, average core deposits declined and were $644.1 million and $650.6 million during the quarters ended September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. Core deposits comprised 78.6% of the deposit portfolio at September 30, 2013, compared to 75.4% at December 31, 2012.

While certificates of deposit continue to decline, and we have reduced the interest rates offered on core deposits, approximately $79.9 million of our certificates of deposit had original terms of 48 months or longer that carry a weighted average rate of 2.42%. Many of these accounts will begin to mature in the third quarter of 2014; therefore, we do not expect our cost of funds to further decline significantly until these accounts begin to mature.

Equity. Stockholders’ equity decreased $9.6 million to $170.2 million at September 30, 2013, from $179.8 million at December 31, 2012. The primary reason for the decrease was an $11.2 million other comprehensive loss, which includes the unrealized gain or loss, net of taxes, on investments available-for-sale. The increase in market interest rates and the related decline in the fair value of investments, caused accumulated other comprehensive income to decline to a net loss of $3.0 million at September 30, 2013, compared to a net gain of $8.2 million at December 31, 2012. Net income of $2.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, nearly offset $2.5 million of dividends paid to shareholders during that period.

COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2013 AND 2012

General. Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2013, was $1.1 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, compared to net income of $322,000, or $0.02 per diluted share, for the same period in 2012. Net interest margin decreased to 4.21% during the quarter ended September 30, 2013, from 4.74% during the quarter ended September 30, 2012. Similarly, the Company's yield on earning assets decreased to 4.51% in the quarter ended September 30, 2013, from 5.11% during the quarter ended September 30, 2012.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income decreased $1.8 million, or 15.3%, to $9.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013, from $11.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012. The decrease in net interest income was primarily attributable to a decrease in accretable income on purchase loans, partially offset by a higher yield on investment securities and a decline in interest expense on certificates of deposit. Net interest income decreased in part due to a $34.2 million decline in the average balance of loans receivable during the three months ended September 30, 2013, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2012.

The following table sets forth the results of balance sheet changes and changes in interest rates to our net interest income (in thousands). The rate column shows the effects attributable to changes in rate (changes in rate multiplied by prior volume). The volume column shows the effects attributable to changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by prior rate). Changes attributable to both rate and volume, which cannot be segregated, are allocated proportionately to the changes in rate and volume.

Interest Income. Total interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2013, decreased $2.0 million, or 15.8%, to $10.5 million, from $12.4 million for the same period in 2012. The decrease was primarily attributable to a lower yield on earning assets, compounded by a decrease in average interest-earning assets during the 2013 period. Average interest-earning assets decreased $44.9 million to $928.8 million during the three months ended September 30, 2013 from $973.7 million during the three months ended September 30, 2012, primarily due to the decline in the loan portfolio balance and lower average cash deposits held in other banks. This decline in average interest-earning assets was furthered by a decrease in the yield on earning assets to 4.51% during the second quarter of 2013 as compared to 5.11% during the same period in 2012.

Net interest margin is significantly enhanced by accretable income on purchased loans from the acquisitions. This additional income stems from the discount established at the time these loan portfolios were acquired and the related impact of prepayments on purchased loans. Each quarter, the Company analyzes the cash flow assumptions on loan pools purchased in the LibertyBank Acquisition and, at least semi-annually, the Company updates loss estimates, prepayment speeds and other variables when analyzing cash flows. In addition to this accretion income, which is recognized over the estimated life of the loan pools, if a loan is removed from a pool due to payoff or foreclosure, the

39



unaccreted discount in excess of losses is recognized as an accretion gain in interest income. As a result, income from loan pools can be volatile from quarter to quarter. During the three months ended September 30, 2013, the Company experienced prepayments on pooled loans and recoveries on previously charged-off loans, which resulted in accretion gains, although less so than in the linked and year-ago quarters.

The Company’s net interest income and net interest margin continue to be less than optimal due to an unfavorable interest-earning asset mix that is weighted heavily toward cash and investments (56.7% of interest earning assets during the three months ended September 30, 2013). This excess liquidity is primarily the result of the cash received in the LibertyBank Acquisition and a prolonged slow economic recovery that has hampered new loan production. This excess liquidity continues to adversely affect our asset yields as the weak lending and investing environment has limited our opportunities to invest this excess liquidity in higher yielding assets. We expect accretable yield will continue to be a significant component of loan income over the next several quarters. However, as the acquired loan pools decline in balance, the impact of accretable yield is diminished. The following table compares average interest-earning asset balances, associated yields, and resulting changes in interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 (dollars in thousands):

Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $201,000, or 22.1% to $707,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $908,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2012. Average interest-bearing liabilities decreased $59.8 million between these periods to $668.6 million, and our cost of funds decreased to 0.42% for the three months ended September 30, 2013, compared to 0.50% for the same period in 2012.

The decline in average deposits during the three months ended September 30, 2013, compared to the same period in 2012, was due to maturities of certificates of deposit and a decline in money market account balances. Due to our high cash and investments balances, the low interest rate environment, and weak loan demand from creditworthy borrowers, the need for additional funding through certificates has been muted; therefore, we reduced our rates on deposits throughout 2012 and continuing into 2013, which caused balances of certificates of deposit to decline and our cost of funds to decrease.

Approximately $97.4 million of certificates of deposit are scheduled to mature within twelve months of September 30, 2013.

Provision for Loan Losses. As a result of improved asset quality, including lower balances of delinquent and classified loans, the absence of significant charge-offs and recoveries on previously charged-off loans, a net reverse provision for loan losses of $(970,000) was recorded in connection with our analysis of losses in the loan portfolio for the three

40



months ended September 30, 2013, compared to a provision for loan losses of $105,000 for the same period in 2012. The net reverse provision during the three months ended September 30, 2013, included a $(281,000) reverse provision on noncovered loans and a $(689,000) net provision on covered loans. The impact of loss sharing agreements on the reverse provision for loan losses on covered loans during the three months ended September 30, 2013, is recorded as a decrease to the FDIC indemnification asset and a decrease in noninterest income, which totaled $648,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013. During the three months ended September 30, 2012, the provision for loan losses on covered loans was $105,000 and the amount indemnifiable by the FDIC totaled $50,000, which was recorded as an increase noninterest income.

Noninterest Income. Noninterest income increased $1.1 million, to $755,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 from $(351,000) for the three months ended September 30, 2012. Excluding the impact of the indemnification asset on noninterest income, noninterest income declined $26,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012.

Service charges and fees increased $10,000 to $2.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2012 due to higher income from debit card interchange activity and revenues from our investment services team, which was partially offset by lower overdraft fee income in 2013. Noninterest income also includes no pre-tax gains on sales of investments during the three months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $79,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2012. Other income includes a net gain on the sale of REO and fixed assets of $133,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013, compared to a net gain of $182,000 on the sale of REO and fixed assets in the quarter ended September 30, 2012. The current quarter also includes proceeds of $161,000 from the death benefit, net of cash surrender value, on certain of the Company's bank-owned life insurance policies.

The “FDIC indemnification recovery (provision)” represents the amount expected from the FDIC under loss sharing agreements due to incremental provisions for loan losses in the current period or the impairment (reduction) in the expected amounts to be recovered from the FDIC due to a negative provision in the current period. “Impairment of the FDIC indemnification asset” generally relates to the reduction in the amounts previously estimated to be received from the FDIC as a result of decreases in estimated losses on covered loans. During the three months ended September 30, 2013, impairment of the FDIC indemnification asset totaled $1.2 million compared to $3.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012. While reductions in estimated losses may cause impairment of the FDIC indemnification asset, interest income on loans generally is increased due to transfers from nonaccretable yield to accretable yield as expected cash flows are higher than previously estimated. The Company amortizes the impairment of the FDIC indemnification asset over the period that covered assets are subject to the loss sharing agreements with the FDIC while accretable yield is recorded over the estimated life of the loan. Therefore, a mismatch in timing between the recognition of accretable yield and impairment of the FDIC indemnification asset could negatively affect the Company's results of operations.

Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense decreased $553,000, or 5.3%, to $9.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $10.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2012, as we experienced declines in nearly every category of noninterest expense as a result of branch closures and continued operating efficiency initiatives.

Compensation and benefits increased $105,000 or 1.8% to $5.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 from $5.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012 due to incentive and stock compensation expense. All other categories of expenses were $658,000 in the aggregate lower during the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2012. Professional services during the three months ended September 30, 2013, included $304,000 of merger-related costs. Insurance and taxes declined by $76,000 compared to the same quarter last year primarily as a result of a lower REO balance and reductions in our deposit insurance premiums. Provision for declines in the value of REO totaled $1,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $56,000 for the same period in 2012 as real estate values have generally stabilized in most of our markets.

Income Tax Provision. The income tax provision from continuing operations during the three months ended September 30, 2013 was $506,000 based on pre-tax income from operations of $1.6 million, which equates to an effective rate of 32.46%. This compares to an income tax provision from continuing operations of $265,000 based on pre-tax income of $587,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2012.

COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2013 AND 2012

General. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, totaled $2.1 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, compared to a net income of $1.6 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, for the same period in 2012. Net interest margin decreased to 4.28% during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, from 4.61% during the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Similarly, the Company's yield on earning assets decreased to 4.60% in the nine months ended September 30, 2013, from 5.02% during the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income decreased $3.7 million, or 10.9%, to $30.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, from $34.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The decrease in net interest income was primarily attributable to a decline in average loan balances and a decline in accretable yield recognized in interest income on purchased loans as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

The following table sets forth the results of changes in balance sheet accounts and changes in interest rates to our net interest income (in thousands). The rate column shows the effects attributable to changes in rate (changes in rate multiplied by prior volume). The volume column shows the effects attributable to changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by prior rate). Changes attributable to both rate and volume, which cannot be segregated, are allocated proportionately to the changes in rate and volume.

Interest Income. Total interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, decreased $4.5 million, or 12.0%, to $32.8 million, from $37.2 million for the same period in 2012. The decrease during 2013 was primarily attributable to a decrease in the balance of loans purchased in the acquisitions and related accretable yield. Average interest-earning assets decreased $39.9 million to $949.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, from $989.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2012, primarily due to the decline in the loan portfolio and lower average cash deposits held in other banks. This decline in average interest-earning assets was compounded by a decrease in the yield on earning assets to 4.60% during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to 5.02% during the same period in 2012, due to less accretable yield impact in 2013.

Provision for Loan Losses. A net reverse provision for loan losses of $(1.6) million was recorded in connection with our analysis of losses in the loan portfolio for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to a net reverse provision for loan losses of $(1.1) million for the same period in 2012. The net reverse provision for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, included an $(871,000) reverse provision on noncovered loans and a $(682,000) net provision on covered loans. The negative provision for loan losses on covered loans resulted in a $695,000 decrease to the FDIC indemnification asset and a corresponding decrease in noninterest income. The reverse provision for loan losses during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 resulted in a $1.2 million reduction in the FDIC indemnification asset and noninterest income.

Noninterest Income. Noninterest income increased $1.8 million, to $1.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 from $(322,000) for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Excluding the impact of the FDIC indemnification asset, noninterest income declined $1.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, to $7.7 million compared to $8.9 million in the prior year.

Service charges and fees decreased $257,000 to $6.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $6.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, primarily due to lower overdraft fees and a decline in income from debit card interchange activity. Noninterest income also includes pre-tax gains on sales of investments of $485,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $1.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Other income includes a net gain on the sale of REO and fixed assets of $239,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to a gain of $554,000 on the sale of REO and fixed assets in the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, impairment of the FDIC indemnification asset totaled $5.5 million compared to $8.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense decreased $2.1 million, or 6.5%, to $30.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $32.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2012, as we experienced declines in each category of noninterest expense due to branch closures and continued operating efficiency initiatives.

Compensation and benefits decreased $538,000, or 3.0%, to $17.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, from $18.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, due to branch closings in February 2013 and the consolidation of operations that occurred during 2012. These branch closures also reduced occupancy and equipment expense by $447,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to same the year-ago period.

All other categories of expenses were $1.1 million lower during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Insurance and taxes declined by $354,000 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012 primarily as a result of a lower REO balance and reductions in our deposit insurance premiums. Partially offsetting these declines, provision for declines in the value of REO totaled $644,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $454,000 for the same period in 2012.

Income Tax Provision. The income tax provision from continuing operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $1.0 million based on pre-tax income from operations of $3.1 million, which equates to an effective rate of 32.57%. This compares to an income tax provision from continuing operations of $858,000 based on pre-tax income of $2.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Liquidity, Commitments and Capital Resources

Liquidity. Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term function of business management. On a monthly basis, we review and update cash flow projections to ensure that adequate liquidity is maintained. Excess liquidity is generally invested in short-term investments such as overnight deposits or excess balances at the Federal Reserve Bank. On a longer-term basis, we maintain a strategy of originating loans and purchasing investments.
 
Our primary sources of funds are client deposits, loan repayments, maturing investments and advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Seattle (“FHLB of Seattle”). These funds, together with retained earnings and equity, are used to originate or purchase loans, purchase investments and other assets, and fund continuing operations. We use our sources of funds primarily to meet ongoing commitments, to pay maturing certificates of deposit and savings withdrawals, to fund loan commitments and to maintain our portfolio of investments. While maturities and the scheduled amortization of loans and investments are a predictable source of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by the level of interest rates, economic conditions and competition. Alternatively, we may sell assets to meet our funding needs.

We measure our liquidity based on our ability to fund our assets and to meet liability obligations when they come due. Liquidity (and funding) risk occurs when funds cannot be raised at reasonable prices, or in a reasonable time frame, to meet our normal or unanticipated obligations. We regularly monitor the mix of our assets and our liabilities to effectively manage our liquidity and funding requirements.

We believe that our current liquidity position is sufficient to fund existing commitments. We currently maintain cash flow and liquidity above the minimum level believed to be adequate to meet the requirements of normal operations, including potential deposit outflows.

Balances on deposit with the Federal Reserve Bank that are in excess of our required reserve balances earn interest at a rate that approximates the federal funds rate. As noted earlier, we could experience a decline in interest income once the Federal Reserve Bank discontinues interest payments on excess balances. If these accounts expire, we may place excess cash in interest-bearing deposits with other financial institutions that do not have a guarantee from the U.S. Government, or we may purchase additional investments.

Certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in one year or less at September 30, 2013, totaled $97.4 million, which represented 54.6% of our certificates in our deposit portfolio at September 30, 2013. Historically, the Bank has been able to retain a significant amount of deposits as they mature. Since loan demand has slowed and in order to reduce our cost of funds, we have been reluctant to offer rates in excess of wholesale borrowing costs. This has resulted in expected deposit runoff at a higher pace than the Bank has historically experienced. Nonetheless, we believe the Company has adequate resources to fund loan and other commitments through growth in core deposits, FHLB advances, loan repayments and maturing investment securities.

The Bank is approved to borrow at the Discount Window of the Federal Reserve Bank and could use that facility as a funding source to meet commitments and for liquidity purposes. The Bank also holds a $25.0 million line of credit with a third-party bank. There were no funds drawn on this line of credit at September 30, 2013.

We also had the ability at September 30, 2013 to borrow $82.7 million from FHLB of Seattle. We had no borrowed funds on this line at September 30, 2013; however, we are dependent on the FHLB of Seattle to provide the primary source of wholesale funding for immediate liquidity and borrowing needs. The failure of the FHLB of Seattle or the FHLB system in general may materially impair our ability to meet our growth plans or to meet short and long term liquidity demands. However, our mortgage-backed securities are marketable and could be sold to obtain cash to meet liquidity demands should our access to FHLB funding be impaired.


46



Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements. We are party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business in order to meet the financing needs of our customers. These financial instruments generally include commitments to originate mortgage, commercial and consumer loans, and involve to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheet. Our maximum exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the borrower is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. Because some commitments may expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. We use the same credit policies in making commitments as we do for on-balance sheet instruments. Collateral is not required to support commitments.

Undisbursed balances of loans closed include funds not disbursed but committed for construction projects. Unused lines of credit include funds not disbursed, but committed to, home equity, commercial and consumer lines of credit.
Commercial letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by us to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily used to support public and private borrowing arrangements. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. Collateral is required in instances where we deem it necessary.

Capital. Consistent with our goal to operate a sound and profitable financial organization, we actively seek to maintain a “well capitalized” institution in accordance with regulatory standards. The Company's consolidated capital ratios at September 30, 2013 were as follows: Tier 1 capital of 16.15%; Tier 1 (core) risk-based capital of 36.35%; and total risk-based capital of 37.61%. The applicable regulatory capital requirements to be considered well capitalized are 5%, 6% and 10%, respectively. The Bank's regulatory capital ratios at September 30, 2013 were as follows: Tier 1 capital of 14.40%; Tier 1 (core) risk-based capital of 32.18%; and total risk-based capital of 33.45%. As of September 30, 2013, the Bank also exceeded all regulatory capital requirements.

Cyber Risks

As a financial institution that services over 80,000 accounts through 24 branches, the Internet and other distribution channels, we depend on our ability, and the abilities of several third party vendors, to process, record and monitor a large number of customer transactions on a continuous basis. As our customer base and locations have expanded through acquisition and organic growth, and as customer, public and regulatory expectations regarding operational and information security have increased, our operational systems and infrastructure have been, and must continue to be, safeguarded and monitored for potential failures, disruptions and breakdowns. Our business, financial, accounting, data processing systems or other operating systems and facilities may stop operating properly or become disabled or damaged as a result of a number of factors including events that are wholly or partially beyond our control. For example, there could be sudden increases in customer transaction volume; electrical or telecommunications outages; natural disasters such as earthquakes, tornadoes, and hurricanes; disease pandemics; events arising from local or larger scale political or social matters, including terrorist acts; and, as described below, cyber attacks. Although we have business continuity plans and other safeguards in place, our business operations may be adversely affected by significant and widespread disruption to our physical infrastructure or operating systems that support our businesses and customers.

Information security risks for financial institutions such as the Bank have generally increased in recent years in part because of the proliferation of new technologies, the use of the Internet and telecommunications technologies to conduct financial transactions, and the increased sophistication and activities of organized crime, hackers, terrorists, activists, and other external parties. Those parties also may attempt to fraudulently induce employees, customers, or other users

47



of our systems to disclose confidential information in order to gain access to our data or that of our customers. As noted above, our operations rely on the secure processing, transmission and storage of confidential information in our computer systems and networks. Our retail and commercial banking services businesses rely on our digital technologies, computer and email systems, software, and networks to conduct their operations. In addition, to access our products and services, our customers may use personal smart phones, tablets, and other mobile devices that are beyond our control systems. Although we believe we have effective information security procedures and controls, our technologies, systems, networks, and our customers’ devices may become the target of cyber attacks or information security breaches that could result in the unauthorized release, gathering, monitoring, misuse, loss or destruction of Home Federal Bank’s or our customers’ confidential, proprietary and other information, or otherwise disrupt our business operations. We have purchased property and cyber insurance to mitigate the financial impact of such events; however, losses could exceed our coverage limits and the impact to our reputation as a result of a material breach could significantly impair our ability to maintain client relationships and conduct business.

Third parties with which we do business or that facilitate our business activities, including exchanges, clearing houses, financial intermediaries or vendors that provide services or security solutions for our operations, could also be sources of operational and information security risk to us, including from breakdowns or failures of their own systems or capacity constraints. Poor security controls utilized by merchants and merchant processors also expose us to risk of loss that is beyond our control.

Although to date we have not experienced any material losses relating to cyber attacks or other information security breaches, there can be no assurance that we will not suffer such losses in the future. Our risk and exposure to these matters remains heightened because of, among other things, the evolving nature of these threats, our role in the financial services industry, our plans to continue to implement our Internet banking and mobile banking channel strategies and develop additional remote connectivity solutions to serve our clients when and how they want to be served, the outsourcing of some of our business operations, and the continued uncertain economic environment. As a result, cyber security and the continued development and enhancement of our controls, processes and practices designed to protect our systems, computers, software, data and networks from attack, damage or unauthorized access remain a priority for Home Federal Bank. As cyber threats continue to evolve, we may be required to expend significant additional resources to continue to modify or enhance our protective measures or to investigate and remediate any information security vulnerabilities.

Disruptions or failures in the physical infrastructure or operating systems that support our businesses and customers, or cyber attacks or security breaches of the networks, systems or devices that our customers use to access our products and services could result in customer attrition, financial losses, the inability of our customers to transact business with us, violations of applicable privacy and other laws, regulatory fines, penalties or intervention, reputational damage, reimbursement or other compensation costs, and/or additional compliance costs, any of which could materially adversely affect our results of operations or financial condition.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

The Company's Board of Directors has established an asset and liability management policy to guide management in maximizing net interest spread by managing the differences in terms between interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities while maintaining acceptable levels of liquidity, capital adequacy, interest rate sensitivity, credit risk and profitability. The Asset/Liability Management Committee, consisting of certain members of senior management, communicate, coordinate and manage asset/liability positions consistent with the business plan and Board-approved policies, as well as to price savings and lending products, and to develop new products.

One of the Bank's primary financial objectives is to generate ongoing profitability. The Bank's profitability depends primarily on its net interest income, which is the difference between the income it receives on its loan and investment portfolio and its cost of funds, which consists of interest paid on deposits and borrowings. The rates the Company earns on assets and pays on liabilities generally are established contractually for a period of time. Market interest rates change over time. The Bank's loans generally have longer maturities than its deposits. Accordingly, the Company's results of operations, like those of other financial institutions, are affected by changes in interest rates and the interest rate sensitivity of assets and liabilities. The Bank measures its interest rate sensitivity on a quarterly basis using an internal model.

In recent years, the Company has primarily utilized the following strategies in its efforts to manage interest rate risk:

Reduced our reliance on long-term, fixed-rate one-to-four family residential loans by originating nearly all of these loans for sale in the secondary market or through referrals to third party origination brokers and subsequently ceasing originations of these loans in December 2011;
Increased originations of adjustable-rate commercial and commercial real estate loans;
Acquisitions of banking operations with a higher mix of commercial loans than our organic portfolio; and,
Reduced our reliance on higher-rate certificates of deposit and FHLB borrowings by focusing on core deposit growth, including checking and savings accounts, that are less-sensitive to interest rate changes and have longer average lives than certificates of deposit.

As a result of the significant level of cash assumed in the LibertyBank Acquisition and tepid loan demand in our primary markets, we have a greater-than-peer concentration of our assets in cash and investments. All of our investments are classified as available-for-sale and are reported at fair value on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The recent abrupt rise in long-term market interest rates reduced the fair value of our investments and caused a decline in the unrealized gain on investments, net of taxes, by $11.2 million between December 31, 2012 and September 30, 2013. At September 30, 2013, we estimate an immediate increase in market interest rates of 100 and 200 basis points would cause a decline in the fair value of our investments of 4.71% and 9.22%, respectively.

At September 30, 2013, the Company had no off-balance sheet derivative financial instruments, and the Company did not maintain a trading account for any class of financial instruments or engage in hedging activities or purchase high risk derivative instruments. Furthermore, the Company is not subject to foreign currency exchange rate risk or commodity price risk.

There has not been any material change in the market risk disclosures contained in the Company's 2012 Form 10-K.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

An evaluation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and other members of the Company's management team as of the end of the period covered by this report. The Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of September 30, 2013, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Act is (i) accumulated and communicated to the Company's management (including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer) in a timely manner, and (ii) recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms.


49



(b) Changes in Internal Controls.

There have been no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting (as defined in 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2013, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

The Company intends to continually review and evaluate the design and effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures and to improve its controls and procedures over time and to correct any deficiencies that it may discover in the future. The goal is to ensure that senior management has timely access to all material financial and non-financial information concerning the Company's business. While the Company believes the present design of its disclosure controls and procedures is effective to achieve its goal, future events affecting its business may cause the Company to modify its disclosure controls and procedures. The Company does not expect that its disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting will prevent every error or instance of fraud. A control procedure, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control procedure are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control procedures, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns in controls or procedures can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any control procedure is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control procedure, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

None.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes in the risk factors previously disclosed in Item 1A of the Company's 2012 Form 10-K, other than the following risks relating to the proposed merger with Cascade Bancorp:

The pendency of our agreement to be acquired by Cascade could have a negative impact on our business.

On October 23, 2013, we entered into the Cascade Agreement, pursuant to which, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions contained in the Cascade Agreement, the Company will merge with and into Cascade, and Cascade will be the surviving corporation.  The announcement and pendency of the merger with Cascade may have a negative impact on our business, financial results and operations or disrupt our business by:
intensifying existing litigation or increasing new legal claims from purported shareholders challenging the Cascade Agreement;
intensifying competition as our competitors may seek opportunities related to our pending merger;
affecting our relationships with our customers, vendors and employees;
limiting certain of our business operations prior to completion of the merger which may prevent us from pursuing certain opportunities without Cascade’s approval;
causing us to forego certain opportunities we might otherwise pursue absent the Cascade Agreement;
impairing our ability to attract, recruit, retain, and motivate current and prospective employees who may be uncertain about their future roles and relationships with Cascade following the completion of the merger; and
creating distractions from our strategy and day-to-day operations for our employees and management and a strain on resources.

The failure to complete the merger with Cascade could negatively impact our business.

There is no assurance that the merger with Cascade or any other transaction will occur or that the conditions to the merger will be satisfied in a timely manner or at all. Further, there is no assurance that any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the Cascade Agreement will not occur. If the proposed merger

50




or a similar transaction is not completed, the share price of our common stock may drop to the extent that the current market price of our common stock reflects an assumption that a transaction will be completed. In addition, under certain circumstances defined in the Cascade Agreement, we may be required to pay a termination fee of $8.0 million. Certain costs associated with the merger are already incurred or may be payable even if the merger is not completed. Further, a failed transaction may result in negative publicity and a negative impression of us in the investment community. Finally, any disruptions to our business resulting from the announcement and pendency of the merger and from intensifying competition from our competitors, including any adverse changes in our relationships with our customers, vendors and employees or recruiting and retention efforts, could continue or accelerate in the event of a failed transaction. There can be no assurance that our business, these relationships or our financial condition will not be negatively impacted, as compared to the condition prior to the announcement of the merger, if the merger is not consummated.
