Capital Pacific Bancorp ( OTC: CPBO.OB ) reported net income of $112,000 or earnings of $.03 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2009, compared to net income of $225,000 and earnings of $.14 per diluted share in the first quarter last year. Net income is virtually unchanged when compared to the fourth quarter of 2008.
"We are pleased with our financial performance during this tough economic cycle," said Mark Stevenson, CEO of Capital Pacific Bancorp. "It's a balancing act between working proactively with our clients to react to deteriorating conditions while capitalizing on new opportunities as they arise."
Deposits
As of March 31, 2009, actual client deposits grew to $99.5 million, up $12.1 million when compared to the first quarter of 2008 and up $9.4 million when compared to the fourth quarter of 2008. Growth in deposits includes net increases in the company's nonprofit sector and other depositors seeking safe haven in FDIC fully insured deposit accounts. New deposit growth continues to be partially offset by fluctuations in client accounts driven by client-specific circumstances and other economic factors.
Loans and reserve for loan losses
As of March 31, 2009, loans totaled $130.1 million, virtually unchanged when compared to the first quarter of 2008 and down $5.2 million when compared to the fourth quarter of 2008. Total loans declined due to a combination of loan sales and lower average borrowings from existing customers.
"Opportunities for quality loan originations are difficult to find in this economic environment," said Stevenson. "However, the company closed $6.8 million in new loan commitments and $18.2 million in renewed loan commitments in the first quarter of 2009, which is slightly above our volumes when compared to the same period last year." Stevenson noted that new loan commitments in the second quarter of this year are estimated to be $6.4 million.
The Company's reserve for loan losses increased slightly from the fourth quarter of 2008 at $3.0 million and equals 2.31% of total loans. Management's outlook on credit quality remains cautious. "The fundamental challenges we observed in 2008 are essentially the same," said Stevenson. "As a result, our reserve for loan losses remains high, yet appropriate, given prevailing economic conditions."

============== ===============
Non-performing assets
At March 31, 2009, non-performing assets were $5.2 million, or 3.61% of total assets, and 25% of total capital. This is an increase of $2.5 million when compared to the previous quarter. The increase is primarily related to a $1.8 million SBA loan for a multi-purpose commercial building that is now in default. This loan is fully secured by a 1st deed of trust on the property recently appraised "as-is" at $3.2 million.
Non-performing assets include both non-performing loans and other real estate owned. There were no loans 90 days past due.
At March 31, 2009, the company had $3.2 million in non-performing loans of which 30% of the balance is classified as residential construction, 56% is classified as owner-occupied commercial real estate and 14% is for other types of loans. Non-performing loans are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value.
At March 31, 2009, the Company had $2.0 million in other real estate owned representing four properties including two commercial properties valued at $574,000 in St. Helens, Oregon and land valued at $1.3 million in southern Oregon. The expected disposition of these properties will vary based upon location and type.
Capital adequacy
The company continues to be classified as well-capitalized by regulatory standards. The Company's total risk-based capital ratio is 16.5% at March 31, 2009. To be considered well-capitalized, a company must have total risked-based capital equal to 10.0% of risk-weighted assets.
The company is a participant in the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Capital Purchase Program (TCPP) and currently has $4 million in preferred stock outstanding under this program. TCPP was originally designed to attract broad participation by banking institutions to help stabilize the financial system and increase lending for the benefit of the U.S. economy.
"Our reason to participate in the program was twofold; retain our strong local lending programs and maintain healthy capital ratios," said Stevenson. "These reasons remain unchanged today. However, we are also aware of the new congressional restrictions that have been imposed on TCPP banks as well as the growing stigma now associated with this program. We will continue to evaluate our participation in the program in light of the changing landscape."
Net interest margin
The net interest margin was 4.33% in the first quarter of 2009, down 36 basis points from the previous quarter's net interest margin of 4.69%. The decline was the result of reversals of previously recognized interest income on loans that are now classified as non-performing.
Other financial highlights
-- Income associated with the sale of loans in the first quarter of 2009
totaled $110,000, compared to the $16,000 in the fourth quarter of 2008,
and $87,000 in the same quarter last year. The Company anticipates that
income associated with the sale of loans will be at, or below, historical
levels depending on ongoing investor interest in government-guaranteed and
commercial real estate loans.
-- Non-interest expense in the first quarter of 2009 totaled $1.3
million, which is approximately $100,000 less than the quarterly average in
2008. The decline is the result of the company's reduction in workforce in
late 2008 and other limitations in the growth in non-interest expense.
