Capital Pacific Bancorp ( OTC: CPBO.OB ) reported net income of $1,000 in the second quarter of 2009 compared to net income of $113,000 in the first quarter of 2009. Including the effect of preferred stock dividends, the Company reported a net loss to common shareholders of $63,000, or $.04 per diluted share compared to net income to common shareholders of $49,000 or $.03 per diluted share in the previous quarter.

"Oregon businesses have been hit hard, from manufacturing to real estate to construction and financial services," said Mark Stevenson, CEO of Capital Pacific Bancorp. "While we continue to conservatively address credit quality issues in our own loan portfolio, we believe opportunity exists in this environment. We're focused on increasing marketshare within the sectors we serve best, including schools, non-profit organizations, property management companies and professional service firms."

Deposits

As of June 30, 2009, actual client deposits totaled $99.1 million, unchanged for the quarter, and up $9 million for the year. New deposits include net increases in the number of non-profit clients, which continues to be a growing sector for the Company.

Loans

As of June 30, 2009, loans totaled $130.3 million, unchanged for the quarter and down $5 million for the year. Total loans declined for the year due to a combination of loan sales and conservative steps taken by our existing customers to reduce debt. Year to date, the Company has originated $12.3 million in new loan commitments and renewed another $33.1 million in loan commitments. Total new and renewed loan commitments are approximately 90% of volumes experienced for the same period in 2008.

Credit Quality

As of June 30, 2009, the Company's reserve for loan losses totaled $2.57 million, or 1.97% of total loans.

The following table provides information about the Company's reserve for loan losses and other credit quality measures:

Non-performing assets

At June 30, 2009, non-performing assets in total were $5.5 million, or 3.81% of total assets, and 26% of total capital. This is an increase of $290,000 when compared to the previous quarter. Non-performing assets include loans 90 days past due and still accruing interest, loans on non accrual status and other real estate owned as follows:

--  As of June 30, 2009, there were no loans 90 days past due and still
    accruing interest.

--  At June 30, 2009, the company had $1.5 million in loans on non-accrual
    status of which approximately 70% is classified as loans originated under
    lending programs of the Small Business Administration, and the balance is
    investor owned commercial real estate. Loans on non-accrual declined
    significantly when compared to the prior quarter balances of $3.1 million.
    The decline in loans on non-accrual status was primarily due to transfers
    into other real estate owned during the current quarter.

--  At June 30, 2009, the Company had $4.0 million in other real estate
    owned representing four properties compared to $2.0 million representing
    two properties in the prior quarter. Other real estate owned includes
    commercial property valued at $1.7 million in Hillsboro, Oregon, improved
    residential land valued at $1.0 million in Vancouver, Washington, and land
    valued at $1.3 million in southern Oregon. The expected disposition date 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 16.3% at June 30, 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. Preferred dividends accrued and payable under this program total $128,000 year-to-date.

Net interest margin

The net interest margin was 4.62% in the second quarter of 2009, up 30 basis points from the previous quarter's net interest margin of 4.32%. The improvement was due to the decrease in non-performing loans and lower interest costs on rolling certificates of deposit. The net interest margin was down 11 basis points when compared to the same quarter last year.

Other financial highlights

--  Income associated with the sale of loans in the second quarter of 2009
    totaled $68,000 compared to $110,000 in the first quarter of 2009, and
    $216,000 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 second quarter of 2009 totaled $1.4
    million, which is consistent with historical averages for the last several
    quarters. While the Company's workforce is smaller than previous quarters
    due to a staff reduction in late 2008, regulatory costs continue to rise.
    The FDIC assessed all commercial banks with a special premium assessment in
    the second quarter of 2009, which increased the Company's pre-tax premiums
    by $64,000.
